what happens when social media
10:30 am
uncovers unheard, fascinating news stories? it drives discussion across america. >> share your story on tv and online. determining using some sort of subjective interpretation of their policy as to whether or not your particular report was actually abusive, because if it doesn't contain language that specifically threatens you directly or is targeted towards you specifically, they may not consider it abuse. they may consider it offensive. and in that case they just recommend that you block that person. >> i don't want to minimise this, because i mean, there's some really horrible things that are on line, and it's not - it's not just twitter, what has happened through social media and the anonymity of the net is
10:31 am
that you see websites, hate-filled websites targetting all sorts of groups, popping up. there has been a huge number of those that exist as well. all next week america tonight investigates the campus rape crisis. >> serial rape is the norm on college campuses. >> i know that when i did report, i was blamed. >> then this friday at nine eastern, we open up the conversation in a live town-hall event. sex crimes on campus, a special week of coverage and live town-hall on america tonight nine eastern. only on al jazeera america. what if you could slow the a. >> cla professor says he found an internal body clock, thanks to dna that tracks the biological age of our body's tissues and organs. researchers say there are some that age quicker or slower than others and that discovery could
10:32 am
unlock secrets that could help you see young -- could help keep you young. it could also help target disease that come in old age. what could this mean for potential cures? and what are the ethics involved? dr. steve horvath is a professor of human genetics at ucla. he joins us from los angeles. dr. art kaplan is a bioeth cyst. he is the head of the nyulangon medical elth ifex division. dr. harvath, i want to speak with you. you have spoken about a fountain of youth since ponce de leon went searching. we know you studied 8,000 samples of more than 4,000 cancerous cells and tissues. give us a shot in layman's terms here what exactly did you find? >> well, i found a biological clock that allows one to
10:33 am
estimate the ages of many tissues and cell types in organs in the human body. and this new aging clock is based on certain markers on the dna, and by averaging these 353 markers, one can arrive at a highly accurate estimate of human age. >> so you can actually see what the dna, what age the dna should have. you can see where some were older and some were younger? >> yes. exactly. this is, of course, a very interesting application to estimate the age of various different regions from the same individual and then identify certain tissues or organs that either look substantially older or younger based upon their chronological age.
10:34 am
>> i want to talk about what you younger. i also want to talk about a very important thing that you found, that there was a way of resetting adult cells into what you call plury post he want stem cells so you can turn back the clock on those cells. what potential does that hold for anti-aginging? i need to be sure i have not found a way to rejuvenate tissue. we are far from that. but what i have found is that a 3r0er that is reroutinely used to turn mature cells into almost embree embryonic soles, this resets the aging clock to zero and, in other words, it resets the age of the adult tissue back
10:35 am
to an almost embryonic state. >> dr. kaplan, there has been a lot of study of stem cells as possibly anti-aging cures. do they bring up any ethical issues for you? >> enormous ethical issues. but let me say this discovery, the ability to sort of see what the biological clock is, organ by organ, traumatic brain injury by tissue, demonstrating that, in fact, our bodies age at different raises inside ourselves, that's really important. i know some viewers may say if you can't reset my clock, what do you care? call me you can when i can be rejuvenated but this is major stuff because it allows us to say, hey, maybe you are going to need an organ trans plant if your liver is aging particularly rapidly or if a cancer is near tissue and that looks abnormally older. dr. harvath has a great breakthrough here? >> thank you. >> stem cells are very, very exciting. we don't know how to do this rejuvenation with them yet. we are trying to do research
10:36 am
with them but probably the biggest question they raise is: if you could rejuvenate, you have to be thinking, look, it better be my entire cell system because you don't want to be in situations where your body is rejuvenated and your head is not or your brain is lagging and your liver is good. that's probably the biggest challenge is figuring out how to change everything. >> inevitably when things like this come up, people always say, well, should we be doing this? >> yes. >> are we playing god? >> you know, you do hear that. and i have to say in a world in which modern medicine replaces organize appears a and most ofr us are familiar william artificial limbs and like dick cheney, an art official heart. we have not going to be limited by, if you will, the way nature s i think there are still questions: should we do certain things? should we not do other things because they cost too much? the general idea that we shouldn't try to improve change or even alter our life span, i don't see the argument. >> dr. harvath, let's talk some
10:37 am
more about what you found. again, we were talking about how certain things seem to age at different speeds. what is aging too quickly and what is staying younger? >> yes, before i directly answer that, let me mention that the exciting aspect of this cl clock is that most tissues have the same age as expected. however, i found evidence that two tissues show a discrepancy. a human heart tissue appears to be substantially younger than expected. for example, the heart of a 50-year-old man could be 10 years younger than expected. and similarly, i found evidence that female breast tissue expected. >> why? >> i really don't know and this is clearly a very excited question because if we understand what ages these
10:38 am
tissues or what prevents aging, then we are a step closer to understanding why we age. one of the things is chronological aging versus biological aging of an actual human being, compared to going to your high school reunion and you see people who look 10 years older than and others that look 10 years younger. could it be that those people who have those older looks, it's because their dna is terrible? >> well, it could be, but i would think that it has a lot to do with lifestyle decisions effect. >> maybe some cosmetics, too. >> yeah. >> a little surgery. >> could it be partially dna? >> yes. it could be. but i expect the effect is rather small.
10:39 am
what we really need is a large studies, large cohort studies to investigate whether we can detect an effect between accelerated aging on the one hand and for example, age-related diseases and other age-related complications. >> you have looked, dr. caplan at anti-aging in the past from an ethical standpoint. where do you think we will go over the next 10 to 20 years? >> there are two interesting questions about anti-aging. one is: can we get everybody to live what we would now consider a normal life span? say make it to 90. a lot of us don't. maybe technologies like this one will start to open the door so that more of us can live to an older age. then there is life extension. what can we do maybe to reset the clock, live to 110, 120. i think the big ethical problem is going to be where do you put your chips? are you going to try to let more people all around the world live
10:40 am
to a full life span, or are you going to say, well, if you are rich enough or in a privileged society, maybe you will get the life extension. >> choices about where to put the resources exactly. i think that will be a big battle in the year to come, this technology we are hearing about tonight begins to improve. >> a viewer question. let's go to hermela for that? >> dr. harvath, viewer stewart wants to know does this have any implications on degenerative illnesses like alzheimer's? >> well, it would be wonderful if we could find a relationship between age acceleration and brain tissue, for example and alzheimer's status. but unfortunately, i don't have any data that would the support in t this claim. but of course, i hope that many of my colleagues will look at that because this kind of data is already out there and i distribute, freely available
10:41 am
software on my web page. so, it should be very straightforward to address these questions. >> one fun thing you bring up is that there are actually potential implications from your research to fight crime? >> yes. many people suggest to me that this age predictor could be used to doctor -- for forensic applications, if blood is left on a crime scene, one could apply these age predictors to at least estimate the range of the age of the perpetrator. >> i new this was true, everything boils down to csi, no matter what you do? >> we only have about 30 seconds. implications. do you think that will be a big deal going forward as to how much money can be put bo this? >> i do. you have one issue rights in front of us. how much do we devote to anti-aging when a lot of people can't get basic healthcare.
10:42 am
we are watching that debate. how hard do you try to extend life for the normal life span? what do you want to put into the making it longer. tough questions. questions. >> it's a fascinating study, incredible findings. dr. harvath and dr. caplan, great to have you here to talk about this. >> thank you so. >> please keep us posted on where you go next. a lot of us will be curious about where you go. next, how are john, paul, george and ringo still one of the biggest draws in the world more than 40 years after their last concert? find out why today. we will ted tell you how trading cards are offering much more than a favorite player and bubble gum. they could lead to a small measure of peace in one of the most war-torn nations in the world. afghanistan.

soccer has a unique power among sports. it can rous national passes for better or worse in a way few other things can. in 1914, soldiers took a break from killing each other in world war i and, instead, played soccer. on the other hand in 1969, he will salvador and hon dueras went to war and it went into outright conflict.
10:49 am
in january as a group o italian group hurled chants, the home team walked off with the visitors in solidarity. in afghanistan in 2012, a reality t.v. show helped create the teams for the first national professional soccer league in hopes of healing the wounds caused by decades of war, occupation, sectarian violence and poverty. and this year, in a nation whose heroes are more likely to be holding an ak-47 than a soccer ball, the topps company is create agnew generation of her odes by releasing a set of 96 trading cards featuring the players in the premier league. here to talk to us about the amazing impact the sport of soccer can ahave, we are joined from kabul afghanistan by one of the commissioners of the roshan
10:50 am
league and by chris rodman of topps europe. i thank you both very much for joining us tonight. shafiq, i would like for you to respond to a quote from a university student in kabul. he said, i am so lucky to be sitting here and watching my country's football league. it feels like i am watching barcelona play real madrid. i know that sounds like exaggeration but who would believe we would see something like this in afghanistan one day. as a former soccer player, yourself and a commissioner on the premier league, what does the league and the sport, itself, mean to afghanistan? >> greetings from kabul, and it's my belief that football is one of the most powerful platforms to unify people and the statement of the younger students is proof for it. we manage the ball to unify the communities and to show a positive picture from afghanistan to the rest of the world and at the same time, make the younger
10:51 am
generation hopeful for a better future. >> now, you've got soccer matches being played in some stadiums where people used to be killed and punished by the taliban? >> we are not playing where bad things happen. we build a new stadium, a smaller one we are playing there. >> you said we only have heroes from the war. we don't have musicians or artists or sportsmen as heroes. how much of an impact do you see with the league? and having trading cards help you o what kind of impact do you think that will have on the young cavity generation of afghans? >> a corporation between topps and afghanistan premier league,
10:52 am
we are willing to introduce new heroes for the country, for the nation and topps is a good way to achieve this goal. i am hopeful for the future. we have already introduced more than 180 heroes around the country, all of the players coming from different provinces and everybody knows them. the topps cards will help them people. >> it will be great to have positive role models. how did topps get involved with the after gallon premier league? you are a big company. you have big -- a lot of activity all over the world. how did you end up in afghanistan? especially under these terrible circumstances that that country has been going
10:53 am
through? >> it was introduced by icener and topps' ceo to engage and exciting young afghan is with league. >> how do you see this working from a business standpoint? you really only have 96 players right now. how much of a market do you expect to find in afghanistan for these trading cards? >> well, when you look at the passion for the sport and the youngsters, there is enormous a lot of potential. soccer players all over the world real aspirational characters for children who collect topps products and can provide positive role modelses for those children and, perhaps, influence some of the choices they make in their life, whether that's not doing drugs or studying more at school. we are hoping that by
10:54 am
taking and raising the awareness, we might be able to help in some of those very worthwhile areas. >> is this almost a pro bono thing for topps? because the cards are $0.35. that's cheap by american standards. in 2010, the average income in afghanistan was $426. that means they were only making average. so $0.35 is a lot of money. >> yes, it is amount of money. but relative to some of the other things that can be purchased in the market with deposable income, it's priced competitively. as you rightly say, it is a fraction of the price of the product we sell in america or here in the u.k. with our english premier league product. it works out as about a 5th of the price. it is priced to try to engage as many children as possible and our business is all about exciting kids and getting them passionate about the sport and so, therefore, there is a combination of some product that
10:55 am
he has purchased and some that's given away and some that's used as promotional activities with sponsors like roshan. >> shafiq, tell me about the sectarian violence that continues in afghanistan. in talking about the league, you said that we would like to bring our message to the majority of after gans and to the world, that afghans can play together and that we have teams composed of different tribes, of different ethnicities. if you look at the kandahar team, they are not just only composed of pastoons, but other ethnicities, too. the idea of sectarian violence is foreign to most americans. so how is it that soccer can manage to heal these old wounds, animosity that has been passed from generation to generation? >> first of all, there is no afghanistan. >> that's also a picture that we would like to fix it. and these game shows that is proof for it t i think
10:56 am
afghanistan is a young nation. we have the overwhelming majority of the position is under 25. 25%, and that is our target group and the people who have the passion for sports, especially for ball, and due to the war and civil war, they haven't got the chance to come together and to make peace with each other. football brings it mossim, bringing all of the countplayer around the country, for one and a half to two months together. they are changing their views, also, their time with each other. they are making friends among each other. and that has a factor for the rest of young people and if they are back in their provinces, they have a lot of nice things about their friends in the from

10:58 am
>> an important move for topps to get into a country like this. what do you hope topps can help do in afghanistan? >> i hope in a small way that kids around the rest of the world have when they are looking to find their sporting heroes in a packet of topps cards and in the process, maybe it will be a cause for good social interaction between different communities in the country. >> shafic, to end, soccer leagues fail all over the world. other sports leagues fail all over the world in places that aren't phasing the -- facing the kind of violence that exists in afghanistan. what do you hope to see for the league's future. are you confident the premier league will survive and thrive?

Kroger Rises After Boosting Long-Term Profit Growth Forecast
Kroger Co., the largest U.S. grocery-store chain, gained the most in four months after raising its forecast for long-term profit growth as it increases store openings.
The shares climbed 4.3 percent to $24.43 at the close in New York for the biggest increase since June 14. Cincinnati-based Kroger has gained 0.9 percent this year.
Chief Executive Officer David Dillon said today in a presentation to investors that earnings per share will grow as much as 11 percent a year in the long term. That's up from a previous forecast for a maximum of 8 percent.
The food seller will boost sales and profit by increasing total store square footage and by expanding into new markets, Dillon said during the conference. Kroger would consider the "right" acquisition to help it grow, he said.
"We are going to invest to grow and expand our store base, which will create more job opportunities over the next five years, and beyond," Dillon said in a statement today.
Kroger, which has about 2,425 supermarkets and department stores, operates locations under the Ralphs, Food 4 Less and Dillons names. It also has convenience and fine jewelry stores, as well as fuel centers and food-processing facilities.
Kroger has been trimming costs, helping it report profit that topped analysts' estimates in the first two quarters this year. The company also has raised its outlook for profit in its current fiscal year and approved a new $1 billion share buyback program.

MILWAUKEE - Jane Kaczmarek, star of Fox's hit comedy "Malcolm in the Middle," says she doesn't lead a glamorous Hollywood life - far from it.
Kaczmarek and her actor-husband, Bradley Whitford, recently traded in their Saab for a Honda Civic hybrid, the 46-year-old actress said in a recent phone interview from Los Angeles.
On a typical Saturday night at home, "Brad will barbecue a steak and we kind of have a meat-and-potatoes evening and watch something together and we put the kids to bed.
"He and I will have a cocktail, except now that I am pregnant I have to wait until I am not pregnant. We love this show called 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' which we tape, so we'll watch 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' or something like that."
Kaczmarek and Whitford, 43, both natives of Wisconsin, have been married since 1992. They have a 5-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son, and Kaczmarek is expecting their third child later this month.
Whitford, who plays deputy chief of staff Josh Lyman on the NBC political drama "The West Wing," won a supporting-actor Emmy last year and was nominated again this year.
Kaczmarek is a three-time Emmy nominee for her role as Lois, the don't-mess-with-me mom on "Malcolm in the Middle." She also appeared in the '80s lawyer drama "The Paper Chase," which starred John Houseman.
Are there similarities between her real-life and on-screen families?
"I never think there is. Then I will start telling some stories and their jaws will drop open," she said. "That family just doesn't seem that outrageous to me, and I think it must be because I grew up in a family that must have had some similarities."
1. You and your husband both star in successful TV shows. Has this caused any tension at home?
Kaczmarek: The secret to a good marriage, whether you are in show business or not, is to have separate sinks. He can look at himself in the medicine cabinet and I can look at myself in the medicine cabinet. We don't have to vie for space. We're more awe-struck by it than anything else. To this day Brad and I can't believe the luck we've had that things turned out this way after so many years.
2. You say you don't lead a glamorous life. What are you wearing now?
Kaczmarek: I've got these big clogs on because my feet are so swollen. I've got these stupid little cotton shorty socks that all the elastic is out of so they keep falling down over my heel. I've got on a pair of maternity pants ... the knees are buckled out and the butt's buckled out and I've got my glasses on and a bobby pin in my bangs.
3. Are you planning to have more children?
Kaczmarek: You know I am 46 so it gets a little harder as you get a little older. ... I didn't realize this pregnancy would take so much out of me - just because I am taking care of two other children, plus working full-time, so it does take its toll on you. But I don't know. I grew up with four kids, it would be great to have four kids but sometimes those things are out of your hands.
4. Will you encourage your children to pursue acting?
Kaczmarek: N-O! Capital N, capital O, capital exclamation point. You know Brad and I were both very lucky that our parents paid absolutely no attention to us as young thespians. ... It's such a difficult, difficult business. And having a lot of ability doesn't necessarily mean you are going to make a living at it. There are so many odd, lucky things that have to cross in the heavens to be successful. ... When they finish college they can do anything they want but until then you know they can act in high school, in their little plays in school but that's going to be it.
5. Patricia Heaton of "Everybody Loves Raymond," who has four sons, has revealed that she's had plastic surgery. Would you ever consider it?
Kaczmarek: I really admire her for being so forthright about all of this. I kind of have gone on record saying instead of going to a plastic surgeon I went to Sears and bought a really good girdle. ... I have gotten great pleasure out of being a mother and really enjoying what that brings to me. ... So staying looking good in Hollywood's eyes is just not something that has been really important to me. ... The one thing I might get really looked at are my varicose veins. I have said I feel like my Polish aunts walking around with these veins. My varicose veins went and got really bad on this pregnancy.

My partner and I stayed at the Rafayel in early August 2010. I booked two nights and contacted the hotel and asked if they could do anything to make it special as it was my mans 40th birthday. I was stunned when they upgraded our room, provided beautiful cup cakes wine and a card plus a discount in the restaurant. So impressed was I that I booked a further night.
The staff are exceptional, the rooms are big, luxuriously fitted with thick carpets, multi jet shower and one of the most comfortable beds I've ever stayed in. The entertainment system was state of the art and the view was whilst not brilliant better than many I have seen in London.
The only thing which lets the hotel down a little is the location in that you aren't close to an underground but there is a free shuttle service which takes you to the overground station so it's no hardship.
The restaurant was a bit slow and the vegetarian options were very limited. My partner had a beautiful steak and still talks about it now.
I would definitely go back to this hotel and have recommended it to my friends. I would love to stay there again!!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Rafayel on the Left Bank boasts 70 designer "smart" rooms, champagne bar, riverside restaurant and conference facilities, exhibition spaces as well as the latest spa and beauty treatments and gym.

The federal government has seized a record $360 million from
household bank accounts that have been dormant for just three
years, prompting outrage in some quarters amid complaints
that pensioners and retirees have lost deposits.
Figures from the Australian Security and Investments
Commission (ASIC) show almost $360 million was collected from
80,000 inactive accounts in the year to May under new rules
introduced by Labor.
The new rules lowered the threshold at which the government
is allowed to snatch funds from accounts that remain idle
from seven years to three years.
The rule change has delivered the government a massive
bonanza with the money collected in the year to May more than
the total collected in the past five decades combined.
Between 1959 and 2012, the total collected was $330 million.
While the purpose of the laws is actually to reunite people
with lost accounts before funds are eroded by fees and other
charges, the lower threshold has been criticised as a budget
cash-grab which affected accounts that were neither lost or
Australian Bankers' Association chief executive Steven
Munchenberg said the legislation was a "rushed"
budget-boosting exercise which had transferred money set
aside by people for their grandchildren's future to the
government's coffers.
"We have grandparents who put money aside for their
grandkids' future and farmers who have set aside money for a
rainy day, but it was transferred to the government," Mr
Munchenberg told Fairfax Media.
Connie Franze, 68, and her son Vince, 45, told Fairfax Media
they were trying to reclaim life savings of more than $12,000
that was taken by the government last June.
Ninety per cent of the accounts seized by the government had
balances of less than $5000, although some were worth

Public interest groups take on AT&T over Facetime block
Will file suit
AMERICAN TELECOMS FIRM AT&T is facing a lawsuit that alleges it is violating net neutrality by blocking Apple's Facetime app.
The firm has been warned by the public interest groups Free Press, Public Knowledge and the New America Foundation's Open Technology Institute that they are about to file a formal complaint against it in the coming weeks.
The complaint comes on the heels of the release of Apple's IOS 6, the operating system that lets Facetime users chat to each other over mobile networks. The complaint, which will be filed with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), follows AT&T's admission that it will block users from Facetime unless they sign up for a special tariff, called a "Mobile Share" plan.
"AT&T's decision to block Facetime unless a customer pays for voice and text minutes she doesn't need is a clear violation of the FCC's Open Internet rules," said Free Press policy director Matt Wood.
"It's particularly outrageous that AT&T is requiring this for Ipad users, given that this device isn't even capable of making voice calls.

End of Watch
- Studio: Open Road Films

Critic Reviews

- Publication
- By date
The best scenes are filmed inside the cruiser, dashboard shots that face inward instead of out, catching Gyllenhaal and Peña in moments so playful and true they make all other buddy cops look bogus by comparison.
One of the best police movies in recent years, a virtuoso fusion of performances and often startling action.
Nerve-rattling in the best way, the sharp, visceral urban police procedural End of Watch is one of the best American cop movies I've seen in a long time.
David Ayer, the writer of "Training Day," director of "Street Kings," writer/director of "Harsh Times," does not make movies about princesses with witchy curses, about yuppie commitment-phobes, about talking plush toys. His territory is narrow, but he owns it: cops, in Los Angeles.
The problem with End of Watch, a gripping police drama, is director David Ayer's stylistic decision to shoot nearly the entire movie tripod-less. Or, to put it another way, there's a whole lotta shakin' going on.
I wish that the Mexican drug cartel subplot was not so overwrought and Oliver Stone-ish, and the decision to shoot much of the film "Cops"-style is also problematic. But the film puts you right inside an everyday inferno and, to its credit, doesn't turn down the heat.
It's a collection of cop-movie clichés but presented with sufficient flair and strong performances that the ride is enough, even if it's on rails.
There's nothing in David Ayer's cop drama End of Watch that you haven't already seen, but the film has moments so riveting that you might not care too much.
End of Watch is one thriller where the adrenaline rush, considerable as it is, is almost always put in the service of character. Happily, the character on display turns out to be considerable, too.
A visceral story of beat cops that is rare in its sensitivity, rash in its violence and raw in its humor.
If Ayer had taken as much care with his bad guys as he does with his leads (and their deftly sketched wives and colleagues, played by Anna Kendrick, America Ferrera and Frank Grillo, among others), he might have crafted a seamless picture.
Ayer should have dropped the movie-within-a-movie, which is confusing in an unproductive way -- we share the men's point of view without it. [24 Sept. 2012, p. 98]
As social insight, End of Watch is useless, but as engrossing entertainment, it's irresistible, thanks to Ayer's gift for dialogue, the relentless pacing set by film editor Dody Dorn, and gorgeous performances by Gyllenhaal and Peña.
The action and the chemistry is stronger than the story, because Gyllenhaal and Peña are good. In that respect End of Watch works better as a series of vignettes held together somewhat loosely by a larger story.
Easily one of the year's best films and one of the best ever in the well-worn cop genre.
Ultimately, the mock-doc device works because Gyllenhaal and Pena so completely reinvent themselves in-character. Instead of wearing the roles like costumes or uniforms, they let the job seep into their skin, a feat without which "End of Watch's" pseudo-reality never would have worked.
America Ferrara ("Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants'') turns in an image-changing role as a tough lesbian officer who develops a grudging admiration for our heroes.
The two cops are cocky and funny and young, and it still takes a good half hour to accept that they may be as forthright and dedicated to their jobs as they appear to be.
Unlike many action thrillers where the viewer is fairly certain that no real harm can come to the protagonists, such is never the case here. In this gritty ride-along, we sense that anything can happen, which adds to the propulsive momentum of a riveting story.
A muscular, maddening exploitation movie embellished with art-house style and anchored by solid performances.
In the last 15 minutes of the film, he burns up some of the credibility he established by not pushing extreme situations too far earlier on.
End of Watch is more than the sum of its parts, though; it ends on a downbeat note, but that's something I've come to expect from Ayer.
End of Watch gives you the savage whoosh of being on a job that can get you killed. Sins of cop clichés can be forgiven when a movie pays honest tribute to police on the line.
The camera is just everywhere, from the point of view of everything. When I left the movie the other night, people complained of seasickness.
No doubt, these twin saviours are a likeable tandem, and they bear their cross lightly. Still, End of Watch suffers from no end of sanctimony. Sainthood is all well and fine but it ain't drama and, on screen at least, the question cries out: Where's a corrupt cop when you need him?
The drawback of the film's visual approach, however, is a considerable one. The relentless first-person shooting in End of Watch - figurative and literal - is less about YouTube factuality than it is about Xbox gaming reconfigured for the movies.

Thread: Is the IBJJF Boston Open Rigged?
8/13/2013 11:01am, #16
Is the IBJJF Boston Open Rigged?
Despite the IBJJF claims to be hosting an open tournament in Boston, local teams are being absorbed into large franchises as a registration requirement. Teams that are not part of a large BJJ franchise are subsequently eliminated PRIOR TO the competition. Absorbing the financial assets and student base of smaller teams, can be considered both a form of business fraud and sports fraud.
This is what the IBJJF registration form looks like:
If you notice, affiliation is synonymous for registration with them, meaning that you belong to a major franchise. What this has to do with jiujitsu, I don't know.
This is what a normal registration form looks like:
Owning a franchise is not a requirement for entering legitimate tournaments, and no tournament can be called "Open" having this requirement. Last year, Lloyd Irvin won the tournament, as many top teams sat on the sidelines. Irvin is from DC.

Is there a legal recourse for this type of thing? Or will they just say to start your own tournament?Combatives training log.

I'm not currently pursuing legal action. I've distanced myself from this cult and their representative in charge of belt sales, has been removed from our program. It should be noted that for those of you considering non-participation in the IBJJF scam, that yuou can expect retaliation. Followers of the IBJJF are instructed not to speak to or interact with non-members, referring to outsiders as "trash". I was told essentially that I'd never work again.

Rigged: To manipulate fraudulently.
If you're removing teams from a tournament that you claim is open to extort thousands of dollars out of independent businesses, you might be engaged in both sports and business fraud.

I don't see fraud. Their misuse of the word "open" is submarginal, they seem to be quite up-front about the terms of entry. This MABS, I'm sure a lawyer will be by to straighten this out.
It certainly stinks, but there is no way I would put my name to the claims you appear to be making.

NAGA New England. "BTT" brings in two belts. One is the expert division championship belt, the other the black belt divsion championship belt. In the middle of the expert division, I encountered Aniss, a representative of BTT. I was quickly drafted onto the team, and as a member of the team, removed from the division to make way for Aniss and JJ. Aniss also refused to fight JJ, earning a second place medal without competing at all. JJ took first, also not fighting me. I then took third, winning both my initial match and the consolation match. Fast forward.
Now we're in the brown/black division. I'm removed from that as well. As I sit on the sidelines, a black belt approaches and is subsequently defeated. Having defeated all challengers in about 2.5 minutes total, Aniss suggests I request my black belt. I've got more sense than that, so I say nothing. That concludes NAGA.
Following the NAGA, after no mention of promotion, I'm told by my coworker, that he can not do promotion. I did not ask, he simply wanted to preemptively avoid the issue. Later, he approaches management with another offer. If I were to join Brazilian Top Team, I would recieve my belt. Management gives me a week to resolve the issue and I agree to join Brazilian Top Team. In exchange, I was to teach for them. We shake hands and all is well.
Enter Carlos Gracie Jr. Unfortunately, with myself at black, working independently, even as a member of Brazilian Top Team, I'd be entitled to my earnings and autonomy. Carlos Gracie Jr came to town with both a seminar and the IBJJF Boston Winter Open. He sat down with my coworker and started selling belts. 2,000 a belt for a total of 4,000. My coworker points out that he already has one and the price drops to 2,000 dollars. Months go by and nothing happens.
Finally, I ask Carlos Gracie Jr what the **** happened. He tells me he knows nothing and has never met my coworker. I then confirm with one of his black belts that this is indeed Carlos Gracie Jr at work. I then confirm again with my coworker who attempts to deny it. When confronted with the evidence, which will be provided for MABS in several attachments shortly, he confirms that Carlos Gracie Jr is indeed intercepting belt promotions and then reselling rank.
I put my belt on and went about my business. The IBJJF scrambled. They'd been found out. They held a secret meeting in New York City and then came back with more paperwork. An internal investigation was started and it was found that the coworker in question, black belt Vinny Souza, was a fraud. An official rank dealer for the IBJJF, he was found to have the grappling ability of a white belt.
My team is not only banned from the IBJJF competitions due the 2400 dollar buy in, but they even went so far as to retaliate against my girlfriend by telling the others not to speak or interact with her in the manner if a cult. Next up, documents proving the sale of belts by Carlos Gracie Jr and the IBJJF.
This is the case the rest of the bullies don't want to touch. This is also the first time these documents are being publicly revealed.
8/14/2013 12:02pm, #101
First off, I would like you to meet Brazilian Top Team. From left to right, Aniss, JJ, and myself. The names Jordan. Some of you may remember me, if not, pleased to meet you. You'll note that JJ is indeed wearing the belt given to him when both Aniss and myself stepped aside. I'm wearing the New England black belt regional championship belt.

Seeing those who seek marriage as entitled to it not only as a general matter of civil rights, or as a marker of full citizenship, but rather as a form of protection for children, may bring us to marriage equality, even if we get there by taking very small baby steps.
The possibility of longer, more vibrant lives is unbelievably exciting and terrifying, and because of my work, it takes me straight to the marriage questions: with the average American woman getting married at the age of 27, what does a 120-year marriage look like?
As I inquire about the organs, I learn they are not related, at least not in a familial fashion. One is an infant's healthy heart. A second is that of a teenager, overdosed on drugs. Followed by a third, pierced by a gunshot. Together, aligned neatly in a row, they have a natural kinship.
At its core, the show "Modern Family" is really about traditional family values injected into today's modern world. It represents a new generation of families, who are navigating the challenges of 21st century life differently, but not necessarily through a less traditional lens.
I was raised by two women and I am fine, perhaps even better for it, as I had the unique advantage of learning how to be a man from women, and how to be a man who loves women in a world of so much female-oriented hatred.
It feels like the real point has been hovering a good thousand feet above the conversation. I believed the goal of the women's movement was to achieve true self-determination -- a society in which a woman can be whatever she wants to be.
It takes a certain sensibility to pull off this kind of act. Who else could do this except for someone who excels as a comedian, an improviser, an actor, and a magician?
I don't watch Modern Family, the primetime sitcom depicting "non-traditional" (e.g., same-sex, interracial and inter-generational) couples. Still, I'm struck by how fast family realities change and how slowly laws and societal perceptions about what's "right" reflect those changes.
In the landscape of television sitcoms, it appears that sweetness is winning out over cynicism. Where the jokey format was once overrun with cynical takes about everything from work to the human condition, now audiences are cheering on a more cheerful batch of comedies.
While June Cleaver of "Leave It To Beaver" may continue to loom large in our Norman Rockwell vision of a family, today's reality is more Liz Lemon from "30 Rock."
In a night of spectacular entertainment, taking the stage were Matthew Morrison (Hairspray, Fox-TV's Glee), Melissa Etheridge, Stephanie J. Block (Wicked), Queen Latifah, and Megan Hilty (Wicked, 9 to 5: The Musical, NBC-TV's Smash).
President Obama will give his State of the Union speech on Tuesday evening. And while the state of our economy may be improving and the state of our standing in the world strong, if he is truly honest he should admit that the state of our union is not where it should be.
Like three princesses, they sat ready to be served: hair perfectly set, one was in a pink dress, another in a lilac one and the third in a peach colou...
Have you seen this painting? Created by Norman Rockwell, it is one of a quartet created in celebration of FDR's 1941 address to Congress concerning ...
This fight for marriage equality has been bolstered by certain representations of gays and lesbians in mainstream media. Still, they look very similar to our nation's 60-year monogamous love affair with the 1950s idealized family -- except take out Donna Reed and insert Neil Patrick Harris.
When children take on the role of caretakers in their families, they view the world differently; they see the struggles of their parents and understand that playing with dolls and train sets cannot improve the situation.

List of spouses or partners of the President of France
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wife of the President of the French Republic)
The spouse or partner of the President of the French Republic (French: l'épouse du président de la République française) often plays a protocol role at the Élysée Palace and during official visits, though France has no official title of First Lady.[1] As of January 2014, following the end of François Hollande and Valérie Trierweiler's relationship, there is no incumbent.[1]
All names listed here are maiden names.

The spelling highlights just how young she is.
Read Whole Story
Having spent decades bouncing back and forth between my strict diet du jour and the "I blew it, screw it, eat everything in sight and start again on Monday" program, I am honored to share with others the tips and tools that helped me crack the diet/binge code once and for all.
Those who want today's news to be that the Mediterranean diet has been proven superior to other truly good diets will need to wait until tomorrow, or longer. We had previously lacked any good head-to-head comparisons of "best diet" candidates, and we still do.
We, as a society, have got to change. This unhealthy focus on appearance has to stop. It's all pervasive -- every magazine, TV show, movie, video game seems to be just a disguise for a how-to guide on how we're supposed to look, feel, and act.
No matter what your most tempting foods are, you can still have them -- in moderation and in healthy portions. And with tools like measuring cups, we can eat well and not overdo it to the point of triggering a binge.
What do you think is going to lead more students to the salad bar: telling them that most of their friends eat salad, or stating that eating salad is good for you?
Losing weight is torture enough without having to deal with negotiations about forbidden food. And with weight loss saboteurs, if you can spot them, then you can stop their effect on your weight loss efforts.
Emotional eating only becomes a problem when it's overused to cope with or avoid feelings. If you feel that your emotional connections to food are causing problems for you, the following suggestions will help bring emotional eating back into balance.
I spent 35 years telling myself I needed to lose 10 pounds. Not anymore.
The jig is up. There is no one specific eating plan or program that will work for everyone. There's no diet or exercise program that will save us all. We all look, feel and live differently, so what makes us think that we can get healthy using the same template?
The cycle of overeating and obesity can be broken. Those trapped in it know what it feels like, but putting our heads in the ground and wishing it would go away will not work -- anybody who has lost weight only to gain it all back and then some knows what I mean.
Once you realize that you can empower yourself to outfox your own limitations and you start to think of yourself as someone who can lose weight and be healthier, then you are emancipated from your own limiting self-beliefs.
Could our national obsession with quick fixes, one-step cures and bullet-pointed tips be distracting us from making long-term commitments to health?
Many people do not have a scale, and what's more, do not want one. Or if they have one, they never use it. There are many explanations for such avoidance.
Perhaps young women who have so much influence over each other can be persuaded to use it positively once they are made aware of the impact of their behavior, talk and presence.
Over the last eight years, I have traversed the clothes racks from the size 14 section to the size 6. And I bet you just had an emotional response to those numbers, thinking it was really big or really small or too much of a range or something else altogether.
Mindful eating is not a diet. There are no menus or recipes. It is about being more aware of how much and what you are eating. It is also breaking out of mindless habits. It's a way of eating that you can incorporate into your life for the long run.
By Elizabeth Goodman Artis for Shape.com
Full disclosure: I have experimented with most (though not all) of these popular weight-loss methods: from...
In January, the month of New Year's resolutions galore, it might seem like everyone is on a diet... but in general, dieting may not be as prevalent in...
Two factors cause most yo-yo diets. The first is sugar dependency. Second is the sense of failure that breaks your spirit. You need to be aware of both if you want to maintain your weight-loss plan.
It is a new year, and the cry to get back in shape is heard around the world. But there are many out there that don't believe it can happen for them. For one-third of my life, I thought that too. I was obese, weighing 50 more pounds than I do now.
Now that I've been a dad for several years, I am reinvigorated to lose weight and to make it stick. Sure, I'd like to live a longer life, but I'd also like to make sure I don't embarrass the kids now that they're getting to an age where it's obvious that they care about what their friends think.
External controls never work long term. Eventually, we get fed up and rebel. Only an internal change can become a way of life. So how do we achieve an internal shift that will help us obtain and maintain our ideal weight?
Weight loss may be one of the most popular New Year's resolutions, but it's also one of the hardest to keep -- especially when you have fast food rest...
To my surprise, this smaller, quieter way of goal setting actually began to work. By keeping quiet, I didn't feel compelled to check in with people (or worse, explain to them why a goal hadn't yet been met). Without this cycle of shame, I found my goals actually had a chance to gain more traction.

Live in caregiver state laws: California?
I am a live in caregiver and i have questions about the laws. Ive been searching the internet for days and still have found nothing. I work 24 hour shifts about 3-5 days a week. I only make 105 a day because the owner says I only get paid for 12 hours. The other 12 is broken down into 4 hours worth of uninterrupted breaks, and 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. On a daily basis i find myself not getting anymore than a few hours of sleep and no breaks at all. I typically end up working 18-20 hours a day. I dont ever get compensated for the 6-8 hours I work extra. Ive brought this issue up to my bosses on a weekly basis for the past year. Is there any law that I can use to help me? or anything I can do? Im only in my early 20's and I find myself getting medical problems, losing my social life and pushing my boyfriend away, and im always tired and have the energy level of a 70 year old. Please help, I have no idea what i can do in my situation, but I really need to do something...
Thank You.

Re: Live in caregiver state laws: California?
I wish to inform you that your contract after which you were made live in caregiver will govern your rights. In this generally a person cannot be made to work for 20 hours and also pay less then agreed amount. The amount which is agreed must be paid. If your are not being paid for around 6 hours then you may give a notice to other party and demand wages. If wages are unpaid then a lawsuit may be filed for recovery of wages.

Re: Live in caregiver state laws: California?
Thank you, that is more helpful than what ive found so far. I do know in our contracts it says 4 hours throughout the day of breaks, and 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, but neither of those are ever given. Is there something i can do about those?

Re: Live in caregiver state laws: California?
Well, I love your advice but... sounds like to me you are not that familiar with caregiving and how that all works. I have to say this..... You have one dementia patient... many times a man a wife. If you know dementia at all, you can tell them every second what the laws are.... what your hours are....you can post it on their door, your door, on the ceiling... fridg....anywhere... and dementia patients are NOT going to care one way or the other. This is dementia. They will interrupt you constantly...this is dementia. They don't care what you needs are... they don't care about any contract (usually a family member has drawn up the contract.. not the dementia patient because they is why you are there.... they can't understand things... you can't reason with dementia patients. They come into your room a million times during the day.. night..morning... afternoon, evening... The ONLY thing to do with these patients is to put them on 24 hour shifts or...better yet, 12 hour or 8 hour shifts. And agencies don't want to do that.... and why? Because live-in shifts cost the family a whole lot less money and they don't want to hear that that care they have been getting is more complicated; is changing and that change means the cost of care has gone up... and has gone up a lot. Agencies, some agencies will not go from live-ins to shift work. You either need to report them..like the person "up there" told you.. which is what I certainly suggest.....go to the Labor Board in your state.. but you need to have documented... Have your ducks in a row. Know what you are talking about. And for peats sake.... don't change your stories... You have to know what happened... when.. who you talked to... and what they told you and what you said. Know what you signed in your contract. Again, most agencies don't care if you are not getting your rest.... they want the money.... and they will do pretty much anything to make that client happy... the family, that is. They don't want to lose that client. Raising the cost,,, may do that. The family may just choose to go with another agency and will do the same thing to them and their caregivers. Sad as it is, this is the way it is.
I live in Oklahoma and am 62... been doing this a long time. And another fact... your agency may just up and decide that you are causing too much trouble and fire you. I would suggest.... quit the agency you are with now... and go find work somewhere else.
