Community Notes
This month, I want to take a look at some of the informal communities that exist all around us. I'm not talking about your local Linux User Group – these days, the LUGs often have formal committees, structures, and even presidents. I'm talking about the more unofficial online communities that many of us participate in. Like many, I'm an IRC addict. I spend a lot of my spare time hanging out on the Linux and Free Software channels on the Freenode and OFTC networks (as well as others). I've used IRC for years, and I'm comfortable with it. But there's a lot more out there these days than plain old IRC. Tale of Gale On my last journey across the Atlantic, I hooked up with an old friend who's recently moved to the greater Boston area. He and I had the usual chitchat and quickly ended up geeking out, watching the 1980s cult classic move Real Genius. For those of you who get out a little more often, this movie is about a bunch of nerdy students designing dangerous weapons for the military who ultimately end up saving the world. The usual kind of stuff. But during the movie, my friend told me that a large amount of the footage was shot at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).

Paul Sagan: No interest in another CEO jobJanuary 30, 2014: 12:24 PM ET
Former Akamai chief executive is becoming a venture capitalist.
FORTUNE -- One year after stepping down as CEO of Akamai Inc. (AKAM), Paul Sagan today announced that he has joined venture capital firm General Catalyst Partners.
His official at General Catalyst will be XIR partner, which the firm describes thusly: "Proven founders, CEOs and visionaries with deep domain expertise who partner with General Catalyst to identify investments in profitable companies in which they can be a catalyst for value creation and hyper-growth via a chairman or CEO role."
That said, Sagan seems to view this more as a full-time investment role than as a holding pattern for another CEO gig. When I asked if he wants to run another company, he responded: "I get that question a lot, particularly from other CEOs who can't imagine not being a CEO. But I never really wanted to be a CEO in the first place, but did it at Akamai because it made sense for the company. So I don't need to be a CEO, and I think I'll find investing in and advising companies to be incredibly fulfilling."
He also doesn't have any plans to run for public office like fellow General Catalyst XIR Charlie Baker, the former Harvard Pilgrim Health Care CEO who is (again) running for Massachusetts governor.
In addition to his General Catalyst responsibilities, expect Sagan to maintain existing board seats with Akamai, EMC (EMC) and iRobot (IRBT).

Yala, home of DreamSacks, provides nurturing and comfy bedding and clothing from natural fibers. The company began by using silk and has expanded to include cashmere, organic cotton, and bamboo. As a way to further Yala's committment to sustainable products and practices, the company decided that its work environment should also reflect that commitment. To help achieve this goal, Yala purchases wind- and solar-generated renewable energy certificates. In 2008, DreamSacks now Yala, purchased an all-electric truck to further cut down its carbon footprint.

Rice University Business Plan Competition 2010April 14, 2010: 10:36 AM ET
What's the Big Idea? Judge for Yourself
By Josh Hyatt, contributor
Call it April Madness. In just a few days, 42 teams of student entrepreneurs will compete in a grinding competition to win a record-busting $1 million in cash and prizes.
Meet the 42 teams who have been chosen – out of 420 entries – to face off in Rice University's Tenth Annual Rice Business Plan Competition, the country's largest and wealthiest graduate-level business contest. "Rice has not only become the richest competition, but it has surpassed the others in terms of prestige," says Joseph Picken, executive director of The Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at UT Dallas. "For student entrepreneurs, this is the World Series and the Superbowl."
Picken has attended four out of the last five contests, accompanying a student-run startup – including one that has since raised $16 million. But this year "our folks didn't make the cut," he says. The surviving 42 were chosen based on their executive summaries, and are grouped in six categories: Life sciences, information technology, energy, green tech, social and other.
If history is any guide, the business plans will be put to even greater tests after the contest. From last year's batch, 80 percent are forging ahead with their businesses – a percentage that has risen every year. Over the past nine years, 95 of the 270 competitors have gone into business, raising more than $220 million, by the university's count.
Every startup that did earn an invitation to this weekend's event will be rewarded with at least $500. But which team of aspiring entrepreneurs will walk away with a Grand Prize valued at $380,000? Whose plans will the 200-plus judges – entrepreneurs, investors, and other business leaders – deem worthy of one of the five $100,000-plus awards? New prizes this year include one for the most succinct TwitPitch (prizes are $14, $140 and $1400, reflecting Twitter's iroclad140-character limit), $10,000 worth of mentoring for the winning social-venture plan and a NASA-sponsored $50,000 "Game Changer" award for commercial space innovation. There's also a $10,000 award for the most courageous female entrepreneur.
The campus-based contest begins with a $1000 "elevator pitch" competition on Thursday night, with a team member getting just 60 seconds to win over a judge. After two rounds of pitching investors, the final contest comes on Saturday afternoon. The Grand Prize includes a mix of cash, equity investment, incubation and mentoring services.
With the economy emerging from the recession's shadow, this year's contest should also provide valuable insight into where fledgling entrepreneurs – and seasoned investors alike – see the most promising hotspots for creating value. And their vision extends beyond the U.S. market; seven of the teams are international. The three-day skirmish begins April 15. Click here to arm yourself with the information you'll need to play favorites.
The competition is hosted and organized by the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship, the school's flagship initiative devoted to supporting entrepreneurship. This year, Fortune is also co-sponsoring the contest.
Be sure to check the site during the course of the competition, from where we'll be filing live posts and Tweets talking with the students, advisors and judges who are participating.

sorry I'm not joining in on this, but I've had enough of this debate already.
|#62 Subject: we could Posted: 03/07/2007 21:05:43
Move to the death penalty, I support it.
By the way, on the abortion issue I compleetly agree, and just asked those questions for the sake of the argument. Since nobody will disagree. But the Death penalty is something very contriversial as well and is very similar and uniqu at the same time.
So is it ok to kill criminals? If so, for what crimes? And what about accidentaly putting an innocent person to death? Should that restain us from exercising the death penalty? What does the Bible say on the subject?
|#63 Subject: Well, Posted: 03/07/2007 22:17:23
the Death Penalty is a little more of Mosaic law, but in many cases that's the best we can do. Because the criminals aren't likely to abide by Christ's law. And I think that leaving them locked up in prison until they die of old age is more cruel than the death penalty. Granted, that gives them more time to repent in this life, but if they're truly penitant, there's enough time before the death penalty is carried out (usually something like 10 years on average) for them to repent anyways.
|#64 Subject: Death Penalty... Posted: 03/08/2007 05:43:20
I agree with it. I knew the abortion topic wouldn't last long, I knew C_war wouldn't comment on it. Oh well. I kinda see why the death penalty is so controversial, but it is kinda the same thing with God. If you don't accept Jesus as God, you go to Hell to pay for your sins there. Personally, I'd rather have someone who paid for my sins already. Later y'all.
|#65 Subject: But... Posted: 03/08/2007 08:37:30
AS CHristians how can you justify killing a person. I already stated that I agree with the aplication of the death penalty but how is it just. "'Vengance is mine' sais the Lord." means the He will take caer of the problem Himself. So how do we justify killing.
On the same note what about war? How can a Christina justify a war or the killing that goes on. That I can't really answere myself but it is something I should be able to answere.
|#66 Subject: War: Posted: 03/08/2007 08:49:31
A good christian is justified in going to war to:
Defend his/her family.
Defend their beliefs/religion.
Defend their nation.
And in supporting their government, if the government is just. So even if their motives aren't great, being part of a draft isn't a sin because it is in support of their government. Unfortunately, I've got more support for this from the Book of Mormon than I do from the Bible, so I can't give you any references that you'll care about.
|#67 Subject: Posted: 03/08/2007 13:20:39
God told 'em to go in and TAKE isreal, and it required force...
|#68 Subject: Yes those Posted: 03/08/2007 13:36:54
Are all good anwers but compare the acts of killing to loving your neighbor as described by Christ. The Israel example was indeed a driect command from God to His chosen people. But now that Christ has redeemed all siners, we are all His people, some are just lost. Did that or should that change the way we look at war?
I find it odd to be on this side of this argument. I intend to join the military, infact I have a strong belife tha God wants me to do that. And I'm baisicly going with what Chris said as my jstification. However it is realy not a very persusive argument to a skeptic. Thats more of what I meant to ask, how to explain to someone on the opposite side of the argument.
I suppose the best explination, or justification is sumed up in the fact that all things good and evil work togetherfor the glory of God. Knowing that what ever happens is pat of God's plan.
|#69 Subject: Well Posted: 03/08/2007 14:19:48
I agree with C_war. I think the only time killing is ok is when someone has attacked you, your family, or your nation. And you know the Bible says thou shall not MURDER. There is difference. I think war is alright, just as long as you do it out of defense and don't start it yourself. I still stand by the death penalty. That person deserves to be punished. Don't you think it's a fitful punishment for someone who murders people? Later y'all.
|#70 Subject: We can Posted: 03/08/2007 14:24:17
look to the Just War Theory to justify violence, I think. I'm afraid I can't say more because I'm out of time! But think about the Just War Theory
|#71 Subject: as defined, Posted: 03/08/2007 23:14:08
murder usually refers to 'the shedding of innocent blood'. Now, in war, it's not possible to know whether the enemy is innocent or not, but if the intent of their leaders is to shed innocent blood, then you are protecting the innocent from that. And the blood of those who fall in war is held against those who started the war, I feel, whether that is the leaders of one or both sides.

<center>"A good christian is justified in going to war to:

Yeshua taught not to take matters into your own hands like that. No matter what. You are told God provides, so defending your family with mortal violence is unnecessary, and unacceptable in a christian life. The only reason this may sound crazy to some is because deep down inside they don't think God will offer the protection if and when the time comes. Fear overrides faith in that situation, and one chooses to murder(murder's murder, no matter how you dress it up) as a means of protection. You have to think about death in the perspective of an infinite being looking upon it's immortal creations. Because death, as viewed by our mortal minds, is a doorway into the unknown...and we fear the unknown instinctively. Fear has gotten in the way of your faith, so you justify murder.
Beliefs and religion need no defending. Not unless, for some reason, you feel it can be shaken. If this is so, your faith is weak, and one might want to explore the reason why. A religion is man made. It's a means for our mortal minds to connect with God(or whatever your preffrence) through outside channels and assistance. Once you realize that "Your body is your temple", and that link was within the whole time, religion becomes obsolete. You begin to realize that religion seemed to get in the way more than assist your spiritual clarity.
And lastly, and I've heard this so much, and yet it baffles me how people don't see this for themselves...you've just chosen to justify committing murder in the name of a piece of land, settled by man, who's laws and rights were created by man. God has no need for you to murder others for that. You've put your country before your eternity in heaven. As a christian, your country is just like every other country. There are no borders for a christian. Earth is your home, and it's shared by the rest of the human race. All those borders were drawn by man, with a pen, on a piece of paper. Non of it is substantial. All of it will blow away in the winds of time. As will America. As will the rights that you kill for. The only thing that will remain after all this, is God.
Yeshua asked that we love everyone. You can't do that if you still worship idols, and fear thier demise. Relgion has become idolized. America has become idolized. Personal affects and the word family have become idolized. Why did Yeshua say no man should be called father? Not to denounce your parent, but to understand that here in life, you have to recognize immortality. Recognize your parent for what they are, and don't put them before God. When you do, you lose site of the big picture. Non of this matters in the long run, so don't make it filthy....don't make it anything...just enjoy it without hindering another's.

Personally, I see this as right, but yet we're back to the takin' isreal deal. It was a land settled by man.
then again, this is just my opinion, but i aint gonna go blast no arabs myself. i couldnt really kill. just games. Just remember, about the war in iraq, they hit our home turf first. im not supporting revenge, yet if we dont, they gonna keep doing it.
|#75 Subject: Posted: 03/09/2007 17:15:34
my uncle taught me this,
"all God's creatures understand a blow to the head.
|#76 Subject: THAT PUTS US BACK AT... Posted: 03/09/2007 17:40:43
Wether you follow christianity as religion has offered you, or how Yeshua taught it. In fact, do you take what your uncle says as the way of Christ or the fact that Yeshua says "If a man strikes you on the side of your face, turn your head so he can strike the other side."?
But let's think about the Bible for a second. Who benefitted from taking Jerusalem? God, or Man? If God wanted Jerusalem, it would have took jerusalem. A being capable of creating reality as we know it can't free a piece of dirt from organic creatures? God needs families to be torn apart, homes to be destroyed, lives taken both innocent and otherwise? I don't think so. If you look closely within the bible, you can see man's agenda in many of it's doctrines. Who's to say man didn't put it there? Wheren't the governments of the time and place made up of religious leaders? Didn't they have the authority of what was doctrine, and what wasn't? Four thousand years between Genisis and today...where's the proof it's entirely authentic? By the time man began to mass produce the books of the Old Testament, it had already rode the sands of time for thousands of years. That's thousands with a "T". Man can't keep his stories straight for one life time...can you see us keeping it straight for twenty? Not me.
My opinion, anybody who feels the Bible is 100% the words of God are foolish and choose not to open thier eyes in fear of eternal damnation....Just as they planned in the first place.
|#77 Subject: Finaly Posted: 03/09/2007 21:13:51
These are some of the answeres I've been trying to get out of you guys!
Personaly I do belive there are a few acceptable reasons we should kill. In the Cannon God gave specific instances when tha authorities should end the life of an individual. Also, the act of protcting inocent, I believe is also acceptible. Although if a less agressive means is avialible it should not be over looked.
Now another thing. TWIN... I really like how you reasoned on this argument, but your last comment does not sit well with me. Please expand on exactly what parts of the Bilble are flawed, in what ways? Keep in mind that the Bible is the most acurate historical guide, recent arcialogicly dicoveries repetedly prove its validity.
Any one els have remarks on this? Any more on Killing?
|#78 Subject: well, Posted: 03/09/2007 22:12:26
the bible does have flaws. All due to men, and largely due to translations and transcriptions in the first and second centuries (I've studied the history of the New Testament a bit, and it was the most affected by this). One known change is in the Sermon on the mount. Some recently found old versions lack the clarification in Matt. 22 "angry with his brother without just cause" (italics being what was added later).
As for my war beliefs, this quote is called the title of liberty, and is taken from the Book of Mormon, wherin this was a rallying cry to the righteous to defend their nation.
Alma 46:12 ...In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children...
This is why a good christian goes to war. Whether he believes this book or not, the doctrine is the same.
And yes, a man-made religion is flawed by nature. That is why we need revelation from the Lord, in His church, through His prophets, to keep religion from "getting in the way" of our spiritual growth.
I share my testimony of these things with you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

The bible is 100% the word of God and all TRUTH, and anyone who tells you otherwise is the false prophet.
There are many of these around right now attempting to divert us from our faith, but read what it says in 2 Thessalonians 2.
As far as being a Christian goes. Heed the good words of the Appostle Paul in Romans 12 to know how Christians should always conduct themselves.
As far as how Christians should decide about war. It's in the bible too guys, in Luke 3:14. You see, because we live in this world of sin, we are a part of it, and as a part of a place where evil exists, some of us might become soldiers, amoung other occupations of this same world, and when we pledge these allegences we have to keep them to keep ourselves in honesty and be people of our word, but while are in a pledge to defend our countries, where killing of the enemy during wartime is ordered of us by our superiors, whom we have pledge to honor, this is expected of us by God, honesty and faithfullness still, in doing the right things otherwise, even when tied into the other allegences of the world, and John the Baptist pointed out a few ways to work ourselves around these worldly positions that we all might find ourselves tied into, and still be acceptable in the eyes of God.
So regardless of what some will try to say to you to decieve you and pull wool over your eyes so that you'll be shunned by God, which is what they want, don't listen to anyone who tries to deter you away from the word of God. The word of God itself is self-explanatory and irrefutable, and it's enemies know it. That's why they won't get into specifics with you, they'll just call it a closed book but not point out anything specific.
This post was inspired by member Trafar94 in his most recent blog by the way, so i feel i owe to mentioning him for some credit for my ideas here.

which is why i said we live in a world where some of us end up as soldiers, and as such, end up pledging these allegences to our superiors because of the world's stuations, but in the bible, John the Baptist gives an example of how even soldiers should act, which is not to lose their humanity completely and become merciless machines just because they have to kill for their country as servants to their superiors in these pledged allegiance, but rather that when these pledged allegences, allegences that in a perfect, peaceful world (i say "perfect" because the wars would have been avoided if not by whatever greater circumstances of evil sent that war into motion in the first place) would not be nesecary, not now apparently they are, which is cuased by humanity itself by it's chaos.

I actually agree with you for once! well, the latter part, anyways. And yes, despite the flaws that men have introduced into the bible, it is still the word of God. And that viewpoint on war is a lot of what I've been trying to say, in a lot better way.

despite the flaws, because it's a very old book and has had to be translated and re-written so many times to keep up with changing vocabularies over all the generations that it's been carried through. Not to mention having to be translated in countless languages all around the globe. So, all things considered, i'd say it's come through rather well, so i think we should acknowledge and give these difficulties a little credit shouldn't we? As apposed to casting unfounded doubts on it based on heresies alone. i find that rather unfair.
|#87 Subject: uh, Posted: 03/11/2007 14:54:26

i was speaking generally about what alot of people do (and often) when many do cast unfounded doubts on the word. (Just refer to a few recent comments right here in this club for plenty of examples of it in fact ) and yet the word has stood the test of time and continues to do so? Why do you think that is? No lies and deceptions can hang around long otherwise. You see, all things in the world are challenged eventually and put through some sort of test for truth. This sometimes come along in the form of rumors against something. If the rumors are true, the word of that truth eventually gets out to all and the litterture disapears and gets thrown out because whatever is true becomes well know and obvious to all eventually, but this is not the case with the word. Why do you think that is?
|#89 Subject: Posted: 03/11/2007 16:44:43
Speaking of the Bible being modified with the times, this is a big issue. My pastor is on vacation, so his son preached today. It was about how this generation and the next may eliminate God mainstream completely, so if we on't do anything about it, the world will thinlk is doesn't need God...
|#90 Subject: well Posted: 03/11/2007 16:57:50
a lot of people already feel like that. But acting like that is only asking for Him to put us in our place later.

Even the idea of a surprise party gives me irrational discomfort. I will find out whether my future little ones are boys or girls ahead of time for this exact reason. It's not about impatience or about painting nursery walls, just about the knowing itself. (Obviously 50 years ago I would have just dealt with the surprise, but now that I CAN know, I dislike not knowing.)
Just curious: Would you consider yourself an introvert? I recently read a book about introversion, and it's very common for introverts to hate surprises.Estella ~ Helena ~ Miriam ~ Beatrice ~ Anastasia ~ Ivy ~ Marilla ~ SarahPaul ~ Wesley ~ Walter ~ Edmund ~ Isaac ~ Abram ~ Gabriel

I understand and respect preserving the surprise in the big moment, but I do not understand arguments about "pressing gender roles on the unborn"-- as though it were in contrast with "pressing gender roles" on a newborn. Why are the unborn any different than the newly-born? If you expect a newborn boy to join the Army and be good at math while the newborn girlie to like French, ballet and playing with toy unicorns, I'm not sure what to say.
It's not like the child truly is sexually undifferentiated until they emerge and we all observe the meconium-covered genitalia. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle does not apply. It's a boy or a girl from the moment of conception, obviously.
I found out because I'm impatient (instant gratification, yo) but fully, completely appreciate those who choose to wait. I've gotten to deliver babies to couples who didn't find out (or couldn't find out, depending where in the world we were) and have gotten the absolutely delightful privilege of announcing the baby's sex to them. It's a wonderful, wonderful moment, very sweet and life-affirming.
But I don't think it's, like, anti-feminist or something to find out the gender before birth.Blade, MD

The Ironheart Crown returned to Hammond, Indiana and the Hammond Civic Center with their own special brand of Mixed Martial Arts. Special because the Iron Heart Crown works like no other promotion to produce one of the most competitive and prestigious MMA events in the Midwest and on November 20, 2004, with The Iron Heart Crown VIII Ethereal, the tradition continued. After losing their original Main Event, which is now the Main Event for Ironheart Crown 9, and seeing many other bouts dropped and opponents switched, Ironheart called in fighters from across the country to fill spots and retain the integrity of the show.

The Ironheart Crown returned to Hammond, Indiana and the Hammond Civic Center with their own special brand of Mixed Martial Arts. Special because the Iron Heart Crown works like no other promotion to produce one of the most competitive and prestigious MMA events in the Midwest and on November 20, 2004, with The Iron Heart Crown VIII Ethereal, the tradition continued. After losing their original Main Event, which is now the Main Event for Ironheart Crown 9, and seeing many other bouts dropped and opponents switched, Ironheart called in fighters from across the country to fill spots and retain the integrity of the show. From as far as California and Florida and as close as Chicago, the fighters entertained a capacity crowd in traditional Ironheart Crown fashion.
Keith Wisniewski and Derrick Noble, two Midwest fighters, were bumped to the Main Event. Both carry modest win to loss ratios and had little on the line unless you consider pride and dignity petty emotions. Nevertheless, the match, at three five-minute rounds, was still a stepping-stone for each in the long road to determine the Shooto Americas Middleweight Title.
The opening minute was spent with the fighters feeling each other out. Each fighter feinted and countered trying to judge the others reaction until Wisniewski dropped and took Noble to the ground. The rest of the round was spent with Wisniewski, either in Nobles guard or in the full mount just long enough to do damage before Noble could get guard back. One stall in the action and the referee stood the fighters, however, after some maneuvering, the fighters made their way back to the ground and the round ended in convincing fashion for Wisniewski.
The second round was a mirror image of the first, if you were on the other side of the mirror, and this round was more of Noble pressing the fight against Wisniewski. His tenacity paid dividends and throughout the round Noble found more and more openings in Wisniewskis guard to exploit. The referee stood the fight up once again because of inaction and in subsequent action, the fighters hugged in the corner delivering some painful foot stomps to one another. In the tie up, Noble reached around Wisniewski, picked him up and threw him onto his back with a thud from the apron and a gasp from the crowd. Noble finished the second round in as dominating fashion as Wisniewski did the first.
The fighters came out of their corners for the final round determined to finish one another standing up in the middle of the ring. Understanding the fight was probably tied a round apiece, neither fighter wanted the fight decided by the judges, so they spent much of the round circling one another looking for the opening that would finish the fight. Midway through the round, Noble overextended once and Wisniewski got the takedown. In the full mount Wisniewski couldnt finish Noble and despite working from a bad position Noble never quit. Another stand up and quick takedown by Wisniewski and the round ended with Wisniewski in a full mount landing shots to Nobles head. Maybe not doing a lot of damage, but it was convincing enough for the judges to score the bout unanimously for Wisniewski.
In another preliminary bout to determine the Shooto Americas Middleweight Title, Thiago Alves from American Top Team out of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and Jason Chambers from ADCC veteran Eddie Bravos 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu out of Los Angeles, California battled in a fight that could very well have been the Main Event.
Alves and Chambers came out swinging for the fences. Alves was quicker to the punch and looked to be the stronger of the two fighters. Alves bullied Chambers against the ropes and landed a hook that dropped Chambers to a knee. Chambers tried holding onto Alves to keep from falling and, in a controversial move, because striking a downed opponent from a standing position is illegal, Alves planted his knee into Chambers face. The blow didnt knock out Chambers, in fact, he got back to his feet and eventually reguarded but, the blood pouring from Chambers nose onto his shoulder and mat forced the referee to stop the action for the ringside doctor to examine. The blood flow was stopped and while the doctor tested Chambers nose for breaks, Chambers begged him to let the fight continue. The doctor let Chambers continue and as grim as the situation appeared, all Chambers needed was one thing to go his way.
In this night, that one thing didnt happen. Alves pushed Chambers into the ropes and targeted the nose, one clean shot later, Alves sent Chambers to the ground and fell on Chambers to continue his onslaught. Chambers defended himself by rolling underneath the bottom rope and halfway off the ring apron. The blood start to pour again and this time the floor of the Civic Center was painted a little redder, Chambers couldnt continue and when he got back into the ring he verbally submitted giving Thiago Alves the victory.
In Featherweight action, young, local Miguel Torres brought to the ring his serenading Mariachi Band, an impressive 32-1 record and a reputation for finishing fights fast. His opponent, Alex Khanbabian of San Francisco, California and the Ralph Gracie Academy, many years Torres elder carried in a far less daunting record at 3-1, but the fight was one of the more anticipated of the evening.
The round started fast and furious and both displayed some impressive skills striking. But Torres used a significant reach advantage and was the first to land anything meaningful and knocked down Khanbabian forcing a standing 8 count. After the count, Torres moved in and got a takedown and worked for an armbar, eventually the hold was in too deep and Khanbabian was forced to tapout in the first round.
Bart Bartimus Palaszewski of Curran Martial Arts and Gesias Cavalcante of American Top Team were matched up in another preliminary bout to determine the Shooto Americas Welterweight title. Palaszewski took some hard shots from Cavalcante and defended himself by trying to get a takedown. He succeeded in the takedown, but fell into a guillotine choke and tried to escape, but Cavalcante was far too strong. Palaszewski held on for as long as he could but finally tapped shortly into the first round. He probably held on too long because while Cavalcante celebrated his victory in the middle of the ring with some break dancing, Palaszewski moved only with help for several minutes. Before the worry got to be too much, Bartimus popped up off the apron and congratulated Cavalcante.
Jake Ambrose was a victim of one of the fights that had seen an opponent drop out. His replacement was Ron Fields. Fields entered the ring with a less than menacing stature and Ambrose looked the part of a terrorizing, bone breaker. But, of course, looks can be deceiving and often are. Ambrose got an early takedown after he found out Fields wasnt going to be a push over. Ambrose worked an ankle lock, but couldnt finish as Fields easily rolled out of the attempted submission and got side mount on Ambrose where the referee finally had to stop the fight because of the punishment Fields was handing down on Ambrose.
In another Featherweight Bout, Andre Soares, another fighter from American Top Team, and Ulysses Rocha fought in a two x five minute round match. Both fighters were impressive at countering one anothers takedowns and sub attempts but after two rounds, the judges awarded Soares the unanimous decision.
Charles Barron and Mario Williams put on one of the better fights of the night in an exhibition bout that wouldnt count against their records. Williams showed a better-rounded repertoire of striking and ground skills. However, Barrown wasnt going to make it easy, often pressing the action and forcing Williams to do some things he didnt want to do such as fight from his back. The two put on a show for the crowd, the action was so constant the crowd was cheering through the fight and it seemed the fighters were the conductors orchestrating to the crowd. When the two circled each other, catching their breath, the applause would settle and on cue the fighters would break into a flurry sending the crowd into another frenzy. Williams slammed Barron to the apron hard several times, but Barron had some wrestling experience and never seemed out of place from his back. However, he did tire faster and Williams took advantage and finally applied a reverse naked choke that couldnt have been any deeper.
Barron never gave up and the crowd starting getting behind Barron trying to help him through the sub attempt. Barron did get out and crowd rewarded him with applause but Barron had expended a lot of energy and made a mistake by giving Williams his arm. Williams locked in the armbar, but again Barron wasnt giving up. In Shooto rules, if the referee deems that the fighter caught in the hold is in danger but refusing to submit, he may terminate the bout. Now was certainly the time to call a catch. Williams bent Barrons arm in several directions and several at ringside squinted waiting to hear and see the snap of Barrons arm (I know because I squinted and turned my head from the expectation). Finally, Barron did submit and both fighters were given a rich ovation from the crowd.
Joe Pierson of Miletich Fighting Systems defeated Jay Estrada in less than two minutes of the first round of their bout. Pierson pulled guard on Estrada after a takedown and wrapped his legs around Estradas head submitting him with a triangle choke.
John Paun and Kyle Watson fought to a majority draw in their two round bout. Paun displayed an effective ground and pound style that never put Watson in a lot of danger but was effective in getting points. Watson had several sub attempts that he could never quite finish. The most meaningful was a triangle attempt that Paun finally escaped by picking Watson up and dropping him. The two fought to a majority draw.
Joao Herdy and Dave Persin opened the night, and Herdy made quick work of Persin. Herdy knocked down Persin early in the fight, barely making the standing 8 count, Persin went toe to toe again and subsequently got knocked down again. This time the referee was forced to call fight.
This was only the eighth show in five years for the Ironheart Crown and for fans of MMA, we can only hope they do more. The IHC matchmaking spares no expense to insure quality fights, even if it means flying in fighters from across the country or even from outside the country. The staff is friendly and helpful, often helping you to your seat and thanking you for coming and production members are tuxedoed and constantly walking through the crowd and mingling making sure everyone is having a good time.
The Hammond Civic Center is fits appropriately between 2,000 and 2,500 MMA fans, and with balcony seating there isnt a bad seat in the house. The IHC has set a standard for other Midwest fight organizations, and they continue to pull off quality shows in a small, rural town whose claim to fame is being just 30 minutes from downtown Chicago, only if theres no traffic!

Award Studio Media Makeup Training SchoolAward Studio appreciates that you want the most comprehensive makeup training, in the shortest amount of time, at a very reasonable price. And that is what we give you. In addition, we take an average of 8 students per class and we build a full portfolio of your makeup work using traditional and airbrush makeup including MAC. We provide 12-15 actors and models for the class to work on. You have 15 hours of studio and location photo shoots with international photographer Amy Ward. This enables you to present clients with an impressive portfolio. Some schools don't provide any models and tell you to bring your own camera and friends. Clients can see that is not professional work. Other makeup schools only provide 1-5 subjects for photo sessions and are 4-5 times more expensive. We are driven by ethics--not by how long we can make the course run in order to charge exorbitant fees. It's as simple as that.
Building a Makeup PortfolioThe slide show on this page is the students' work from our One Week Media Makeup and Two Day Fashion Makeup Class (7 days total). The combination of the students makeup and Amy Ward's photography is that good! This proves that you don't need to spend $14,000 and sacrifice several months of your time in long training programs like many other schools would like you to believe.
Makeup School DirectorAmy Ward, the founder of Award Studio, has worked internationally in the media and fashion industry for over 20 years as a makeup artist and photographer for major magazines, ads, television and of course, celebrities.
Airbrush Training Program
Media technology is constantly advancing. With the switch to digital and high definition mediums for television, video, motion pictures, film and print, the industry has changed beyond all recognition. This requires master skills in airbrushing.
Award Studio has expanded our training, enabling you to learn the latest airbrush techniques for all types of media assignments. Our instructors guide you step by step, in a one to one work environment. And you will be airbrushing the dozen or more actors and models the studio provides for you. Then you are able to see how your work photographs, while building your portfolio. This involves much more skill than just doing makeup that looks good in person. That's why accomplished, media, airbrush makeup artists are paid so much more. If you aren't a master airbrush artist your skills are out of date.
Media Makeup Artists in Demand
This is a great time to enter the market as a professional media make-up artist. While many other industries are downsizing and laying people off, our industry is virtually unaffected. Television shows continue to air and magazines and motion pictures continue to be produced. In fact most companies increase their advertising when consumer spending slows, in order to encourage more people to purchase their products. So if you are worried about the stability of your current job and want to do something you love, that pays well and is always in demand, there is no better time than now to get started. So give us a call now and we'll enroll you in one of our upcoming classes! Feel free to contact our director, Amy Ward, who is always happy to answer any questions you may have. (818) 980-2119

Wireless communication has been around for several years in the sport of professional bicycle racing. Team managers use it communicate back and forth with their riders during races. Vertix has it's own wireless communication solution, but this one is added into motorcycle helmets.
The Vertix hardware comes in a couple of different styles so that it can be used with both full-face and open-face helmets. Both the speaker and microphone can be easily mounted to almost any helmet. In fact, they claim an installation time of only minutes. The buttons can easily be tapped while riding to allow communication with other riders in your group or access to a cell phone. The units can paired with a group of up the three riders, and of course between rider and passenger as well. The published range for communication is 500 meters, but Vertix claims it can sometimes reach up to 1 km. One final feature, a handlebar-mounted remote control will be coming out soon. The MSRP is $160 and you can find out more at the Vertix site.

A heroic feat! With dead men! (Grande hazana! Con muertos!), Plate 39 of The Disasters of War Etched about 1810 - 1820 (published 1863)
In this sickening image, one of the most extreme in The Disasters of War series, the naked bodies of mutilated, tortured and castrated men are shown hung from a tree as a warning to others. Goya was one of the first artist to reveal the grim reality of warfare, stripped of all chivalry, romance and idealism. He captured something quintessential about modern war which has found resonance with succeeding generations of audiences. This print was controversially adapted in the 1990s by the artists Jake and Dinos Chapman. It formed the basis for one of their gory, three-dimensional tableaux, in which scenes from the series were recreated using dismembered mannequins covered in fake blood.

So if you do decide to buy this product, envelopes would be a nice way to keep it all together. Or you could buy double sided tape to keep pen on the sign.

Lala, the music service recently acquired by Apple, is being shuttered, but Lala's technology may live on in iTunes cloud music and video features.
Webware 100 winner: Lala
Sources with knowledge of the talks say a deal for Lala, a streaming-music service, is close to being finalized. Does Apple plan to stream music?
When the iPhone maker bought Lala.com, most assumed a music cloud service was on the way. But sources tell CNET that it may take a back seat to video.
Warner Music takes $33 million write-down, most of it on minority stakes it took in Imeem and Lala. Label is also disappointed with MySpace Music's performance.
Apple acknowledges that it has purchased the struggling streaming service but declined to comment on reports that Lala was bought for very little money.
Sure, Apple could offer some kind of "cloud" or streaming service, but as the company acquires the streaming-music start-up, its goals may be less ambitious.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified the digital music format used at Apple's iTunes. Apple uses the AAC format.
The music service Apple just acquired may have underachieved, but its founder could be the right man if iTunes moves away from downloads and into streaming music.
Dramatically different amounts were reported for what Apple paid to acquire the music service. In this tough environment, it's hard to believe Apple would overpay.

Frostbites Crepes & Frozen Delights' freshly made delectable desserts have garnered this ice creamery several accolades: MyFOXla voted Frostbites the best ice-cream parlor, while The Tonight Show granted it a custom-made jingle. Loosen up with the 16 flavors of sorbet chill (starting at $2.59), made with authentic italian ice, or dive taste buds into creamy chocolate frozen custard (starting at $2.79), made from natural ingredients such as egg yolk. Commitment-phobic customers can combine the two with the sorbet cream (starting at $2.89), where fruity flavors such as watermelon, coconut, and orange merge with rich vanilla custard. Those in the mood for pancake-esque desserts can fill up with a sweet crêpe ($3.29) hot off the griddle and topped with a choice of sauces (each $.69) and accoutrements (each $.89). Buck traditional notions of French cuisine with a sandwich crêpe (starting at $3.99), stuffed with a choice of meat, cheese, condiments, and fresh vegetables.
Crepes and Grapes Café celebrates and honors French culture with its sidewalk cafe atmosphere, Bastille Day celebration, and a variety of sweet and savory crepes. At breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the shop churns out thin, stuffed pancakes filled with ingredients that range from maple and cream to garlic-rich shrimp scampi. Guests can sample the edible wares within the sunny storefront or sit just outside underneath table umbrellas surrounded by salivating flower beds.
Cafe Tourane has one main pledge: to serve the freshest, healthiest coffee possible. The café cuts out the middlemen of warehouses and shipping by sending staffers on drives directly to their roaster to pick up beans, which wear the USDA organic seal to signify their total avoidance of synthetic pesticides and their love of stickers. While sipping on an espresso drink or a fruit smoothie, patrons can pop back sweet, sugar-dusted french beignets, served with a cool side of condensed milk for dipping. With plenty of natural light from front windows, the café is an ideal place to read a book with a cup of the fresh-brewed daily roast.
When you step into Boubouffe Grille, you can feel the Middle Eastern influence all around you, which is exactly what owner Wally Nasser wants. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors open onto a relaxed outdoor patio, giving the space an open, airy feeling reminiscent of the Mediterranean seashore. On the walls, spotlighted vases in recessed shelves hark back to the antiquities of ancient Greece. Guests talk and laugh as they share mezze—small plates that originated centuries ago in Turkey—while playing tabletop soccer with falafel.
And the food is just as representative of the Mediterranean region as the decor. Diners can crisscross the Mediterranean Sea via stuffed north african peppers, lebanese grilled lamb chops with warm harissa, algerian chicken tagine, and traditional baklava. The eatery also serves classic breakfast dishes such as smoked-salmon-topped bagels and french toast with fresh fruit.
Crepes are by definition light and delicate, a stark contrast to the heavy metal aesthetic of Rockin Crepes where chefs in black T-shirts name dishes after bands such as Motley Crue or White Zombie. Ingredients such as dark chocolate, strawberries, and marshmallow cream inspired diners to elect Rockin Crepes a finalist for CityVoter's Best Desserts in Orange County in 2011, but the menu also conquers savory territory. Fondue plates give diners the chance to dunk morsels of focaccia bread, marshmallows, or fruit into creamy melted cheeses and chocolates, and smoothies deliver blends of fresh fruit without any additional sugars, syrups, or cherry-shaped air fresheners. Rockin Crepes encourages their guest's inner children with vintage Atari games and brings out their inner fanatics with sport nights featuring NBA, NHL, and college football games on 15 televisions.

In December of last year Hunstanton SEA LIFE Sanctuary fell victim to the tidal surge that spread across the East coast.
More than 3,000 fish and creatures were evacuated to other SEA LIFE Centre's around the UK, with SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth housing a significant amount of these until the sanctuary can reopen again.
Hunstanton SEA LIFE Sanctuary received a wealth of support from both the local community and it's parent, Merlin Entertainments plc. A result of this has meant that all of our animals are doing incredibly well and have now settled into their new homes.
The Hunstanton team are working around the clock to refurbish the entire Sanctuary. At the date of publication of this statement (10th April 2014) the drying process has completely finished with the core construction beginning to take place.
Currently, there is no confirmed opening date but please bear with us whilst we are undergoing this refurbishment. We appreciate your continued support at this time and look forward to welcoming you back to our brand new home.
In the meantime - why not go and visit many of our evacuated creatures over at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth? Click here to visit their webpage...

Handsome foliage & flowers make this an ideal groundcover for shade.
Lungworts look best grown in masses as a shady groundcover or combined with hostas, hellebores and ferns in a shady garden. Grown as much for their attractive leaves as for their flowers, lungwort's foliage remains attractive all season as long as the soil isn't allowed to dry out. The genus name Pulmonaria and common name lungwort allude to its historic usage as a remedy for respiratory problems. Lungworts form low-growing clumps that slowly spreads to form a groundcover without being aggressive and overtaking other plants.
Lungwort Roy DavidsonThis shade-loving ground cover plant has dark green leaves spotted with silver; flowers appear in late spring, starting out pink and turning blue as they age. (Pulmonaria longifolia)

How about this p****?
Secondary school teachers are told not to use the term.
Just sayin'
b e r r y [berry] said:it's ok to say 'brainstorm'. just sayin'.
i teach in both a secondary school and a uni and neither advises teaching staff not to use 'brainstorm'. when i first started teaching (10+ years ago), we were told not to use it but, since then, it has transpired that no objections to the phrase have ever been raised by epileptics or other disability organisations. as such, the advice not to use it has since been disregarded by most organisations as it is utterly baseless.
it's funny that not being allowed to use 'brainstorm' is often suggested as an example of 'political correctness gone mad'/'you can't say anything these days without offending someone!', when, in fact, no-one objects to the use of the word.

b e r r y [berry] said:then their advice is almost ten years out of date. epileptic and disability rights groups have openly stated the term 'brainstorm' is in no way offensive.

Creating Healthier Communities
Community outreach increases access to care
During 2012, we invested $795 million in providing health care programs, services and benefits to people in our communities who have low incomes and little or no medical insurance and to providing health care programs and services for the broader community.
Sutter and partners align to fight hepatitis B
Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation partnered with the Asian Foundation, the San Francisco Department of Public Health and other community organizations in a collaborative campaign to rid San Francisco of the highly infectious hepatitis B virus. The Hep B Free program attracted national attention for its public education, free and low-cost screenings and vaccination clinics for people at significant risk of contracting the virus.
Employees partner to give babies a healthy start
Employees across Sutter Health raised more than $661,000 in 2012 to support March of Dimes research and programs to prevent premature births and improve the health of mothers and their babies. The achievement made our not-for-profit network the top health care fundraising team for the March of Dimes nationwide for the third consecutive year. Over the past 16 years, our employees have raised more than $6 million for the March of Dimes.
Sutter reaches out worldwide in times of trouble
The 2012 devastation of Hurricane Sandy prompted our donation of $500,000 to the American Red Cross to support aid efforts on the East Coast. Sutter Health has long contributed toward humanitarian relief to communities during disasters worldwide, including the 2010 earthquake in Haiti and the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
Donations support programs for those who serve
As part of a broader commitment to the well-being of military members in our communities, Sutter Health donated $18,400 to the Fisher House Foundation in 2012. The foundation provides lodging for families of military personnel undergoing medical treatment. We also gave $10,000 to Rivers of Recovery, which provides recreational rehabilitation and therapies to veterans and those in active service.
Donations and volunteers lend support to food banks
To help people struggling against hunger in our communities, Sutter Health donated $255,000 to 29 Northern California food banks in 2012. Also, during the holiday season, many of our employees, physicians and staff members volunteered to serve meals and prepare food baskets for people in need throughout our network.
Grants help support patients with critical needs
Grants totaling $2 million were released from the Sutter Health Access to Care Fund through the Marin Community Foundation to serve critical health needs in Marin County. These grants help patients gain access to dental care, adult vaccinations, behavioral health services and substance abuse treatment.
Philanthropic support enhances health care services
Sutter Health received donations of more than $47 million in 2012 to enhance the level of care we provide to patients and communities. These donations have enabled us to build new facilities, purchase more lifesaving medical equipment, offer more specialty programs and services, further support clinical research and provide even more care for people in need.

Spiked Macrame Bracelet
Material List
- Bead Landing™ Craft Beads - Spiked Stud and Metal Button
- Bead Landing™ Hemp Cord, 20 lb.
- Scissors
Project Instructions
Step 1 Cut the hemp cord into one 20" strand and one 60" strand. Fold the short cord in half and tape the fold onto a working surface. Center the long cord under the two middle strands. Fold the right cord over the middle strands and under the left cord.
Step 2 Pull the left cord under the right and middle strands and through the loop on the right side. Pull tightly and slide the knot up to create a small loop. The loop should be able to slide over the small button.
Step 3 Continue the square knot by folding the left cord over the middle strands and under the right cord. Pull the right cord under the left and middle strands and through the loop on the left side.
Step 4 Pull tightly and repeat the steps – left, right, left, right. Stop knotting after about 1".
Step 5 Thread a Bead Landing™ spiked stud craft bead onto the two middle strands. Continue knotting for about six more knot steps – left, right, left, right.
Step 6 Repeat Step 5 until you have thread a total of four spiked stud craft beads.
Step 7 Continue knotting for about another inch.
Step 8 Measure the bracelet around the wrist to check the fit. From the first knot to the last, the fit should be rather tight.
Step 9 To finish the bracelet, tie a knot with all strands. Thread the Bead Landing™ metal button craft bead, two strands in each hole. Now tie another knot with all strands and trim excess cording to desired length.

This petition closed about 1 year ago
You should sign this petition because You, as a citizen of The United States are seeing the rights afforded You in The United States Constitution become null and void with the introduction and action of legislation like The Patriot Act and The NDAA. These Acts are not unlike The COINTELPRO program which was investigated by The Senate Church Committee in 1975 and found to be unlawful. The same actions made then by the intelligence agencies are now made lawful under these Acts and should be repealed as they stand. We have seen the abuses the intelligence community have made in the past when allowed to go unchecked; and it is time to put the checks and balances afforded us in The U.S. Constitution into full affect.
