The most significant bout of the weekend in terms of name recognition and relevance will take place on Strikeforce's St. Louis card on Saturday in the form of a light heavyweight showdown between former PRIDE welterweight and middleweight champion Dan Henderson (25-8, 0-1 SF) and UFC veteran Renato Sobral (36-8, 2-1 SF). The bout will serve as Dan Henderson's second bout under the Strikeforce banner after his exit from the UFC following a lengthy negotiation period. Henderson previously defeated Rousimar Palhares, Rich Franklin, and Michael Bisping after his title bout losses to Anderson Silva and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Henderson's spectacular knockout of Bisping created quite the buzz, and Henderson tried to use it as leverage to negotiate a more lucrative contract. Dana White wasn't having it, thus Henderson moved on.
Henderson's debut with Strikeforce didn't go according to plan however. He cut down to 185 pounds to battle Strikeforce champion Jake Shields, who had previously defeated Jason "Mayhem" Miller to obtain the belt. In a somewhat surprising turn of events, Henderson's vaunted wrestling ability was completely ineffective against Shields' grappling prowess, and Shields used his own wrestling ability to take down Henderson repeatedly. Once Shields had eliminated Henderson's threatening one punch power on the feet, it was smooth sailing for him. Interestingly enough, Shields jumped ship after the win and is now in the UFC.
Despite Sobral's loss to Gegard Mousasi at Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg in August of last year, he remains one of the elite light heavyweights fighting outside of the shark tank in the UFC. He was released from the UFC following his win over David Heath at UFC 74. Most fans speculate that it was due to the fact that Sobral held the choke for too long, but Dana White has never confirmed that to be true.
Sobral signed with Affliction, fighting twice under the failed promotion's banner with a decision victory over Mike Whitehead and a submission win over Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou. Sobral fought in Strikeforce as well during his stint with Affliction, defeating Bobby Southworth for the Strikeforce light heavyweight crown. Following Affliction's demise, Sobral was pitted against rising superstar Gegard Mousasi in his first title defense with Strikeforce. Mousasi bombed Sobral early, winning the bout in one minute via KO. Sobral bounced back with an impressive showing against Robbie Lawler at Strikeforce: Los Angeles in June.
The victory over Lawler has some major significance in this match-up as Lawler's power punching style somewhat mimics what Dan Henderson has imposed on his own opponents throughout his career. Sobral did a phenomenal job at avoiding Lawler's power shots while mixing it up on the feet to keep Lawler guessing. His footwork looked great as well, and it was the key to keeping Sobral away from Lawler's power.
Footwork will be the key in this match-up as well, and as everyone knows from the Michael Bisping fight -- circling away from Henderson's power is a means to avoiding the hospital. When that doesn't happen, fans get the opportunity to create images within the context of the American Revolution of you succumbing to the "force". Sobral will hope to avoid that ridicule on Saturday night.
In the ground department, Sobral should hold the edge if there is some truth to Henderson's wrestling skills being overrated. While Henderson has incredible credentials in the wrestling department, he has never proved them to be great in the context of mixed martial arts, mainly due to the fact that he implements gameplans that showcase his power over his wrestling. It's great for those casual fans wanting to see fantastic knockouts, but it hasn't served Henderson well in important match-ups.
Sobral's performance against Lawler serves as a premonition as to how this fight will go down. His footwork waas effective in neutralizing Lawler's power, and his use of the front kick kept Lawler at a distance for most of the fight. If he can work a similar gameplan against Henderson, Sobral should edge out Henderson over five rounds. The fact that Henderson makes it obvious as to what his gameplan is by cocking his fist back as if it were a medieval trebuchet waiting to be cut loose is tiring to watch. He does seem to land with it however, and it doesn't matter if his opponent knows it or not.
Sobral is a survivor, and he's been in the ring and cage with some of the absolute best in the world. I think Sobral can win in either department, although the ground game will be a tougher proposition as Henderson isn't the easiest man to take down. Sobral will need some creativity there, but I think he can damage Henderson on the feet en route to a decision victory.

what to buy
The Garmin Forerunner 110 is one of Garmin's basic GPS sport watches, but reviewers say it is a good fit for mainstream users who want a simple, easy-to-use watch for tracking pace and distance. The watch is smaller and more compact than Garmin's other sport watches, and it tracks speed and distance along with optional heart-rate monitoring (if you opt to buy the version with the included chest strap). However, it lacks advanced training features, including pace alerts, interval training and wireless data upload. Even so, most reviewers say the watch has an easy setup process, and the GPS signal is accurate in tests. Experts also say the Garmin Forerunner 110 acquires satellites quickly. However, many users say they are disappointed that the watch only tracks average pace. Pricier Garmin watches also track current pace, which gives serious exercisers another metric for gauging their progress. If you prefer a sport watch with advanced features like these, experts recommend the Garmin Forerunner 410 (*Est. $325; $375 with heart-rate monitor).
A number of sources help determine the reviewer consensus on the Garmin Forerunner 110. Women's Adventure magazine is particularly helpful because it tests a variety of fitness watches, rating each one and assigning the best models an Editor's Choice award. Hands-on tests at USAToday.com, DCRainmaker.com and Runner's World are also helpful. Amazon.com is our best source for user feedback.

(NECN: Jack Thurston, Burlington, Vt.) - About 115 members of the University of Vermont College of Medicine's class of 2017 received their distinctive white coats Friday at a ceremony on the Burlington campus. The coats represent a start of their journeys toward careers as physicians, and also serve as a reminder of the many responsibilities that come with practicing medicine, said Dr. Christa Zehle, the school's associate dean for students.
The ceremony came the same month online insurance marketplaces mandated under the federal Affordable Care Act were rolled out. According to the Congressional Budget Office, about 7-million uninsured people will obtain health coverage next year through the exchanges. Vermont's marketplace is called Vermont Health Connect.
"I think it's on your mind," said UVM medical student Sarah Waterman Manning, describing how the Affordable Care Act is being addressed in classes and conversations with peers and instructors. "The hope is that people go to their primary care doctors, people see the doctor before they're really, really sick, so that patient health will ultimately improve and that community health will ultimately improve."
"They do a really good job kind of keeping us up to date with what's going on with it; what the potential implications will be," added Manning's husband, Will, also a medical student, and half of what UVM believes is the first married couple to receive white coats together at the same ceremony.
Under the Affordable Care Act, middle and low-income families will get tax credits to help them pay for coverage. More key features of the law are available on a website managed by the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services.
"If all of a sudden you make it so that previously uninsured people can go to their primary care doctor, that's great for outcomes and costs overall, but where are you going to find these extra primary care providers?" asked Will Manning rhetorically. "And the ones you already have could get overworked. I think in the long run it's going to end up being a really good thing, but there might be a bit of a rough transition patch in the near future."
Medical students are now hearing more references to health care reform in classes and discussion groups, Dr. Zehle said. "It's important for physicians to be aware of the cost of health care," she told New England Cable News. "We are recognizing the importance that physicians be aware of the business aspect of health care as well as the patient aspects of health care."
Zehle noted that curricula at medical schools across the country have increasingly addressed industry realities in recent years. She said while several things will change in the new era of health care, like who's on Medicaid, how some physicians get paid, and how more young adults can stay on their parents' plans, the constant for doctors should be a patient-focused approach.
"Are things different from when the people that trained me and when I started, and for my students in the future? Absolutely," Zehle told NECN. "Health care always is changing. But the goal is always to be able to provide affordable, accessible high-quality care to our patients."
The Mannings said they are eager to learn more about the coming changes, well aware another reality of being doctors is one day paying back all those student loans from medical school. "This is not a get-rich-quick scheme," Sarah Waterman Manning chuckled.

Hey guys, what's up?
My name is Luke and I live in Shreveport, Louisiana. I have been gaming ever since the Super Nintendo days. I consider myself an RPG fan. My favorite games are Chrono Trigger, all of the Playstation Final Fantasies, and the Persona series. I like many other games too, but it would take me forever to list them all.
I do most of my gaming these days on my PC. I think my favorite system of all time is the Dreamcast.
Well, stay classy 1UP
Trailers That Have Me Wanting To Time WarpPosted: November 03, 2011
1. Lollipop Chainsaw
This game looks incredible. The way the cheerleader fights is awesome with hearts and graffiti coming out of her fallen undead foes. I have seen gameplay footage of the chearleader fighting a boss fight Zed. This boss has a guitar and screams lyrics such as stupid bitch and cock sucker ( or atleast I think that what they said). If other boss fights are this creative, this game might be a contender of best boss fights for 2011/2012. This game is diffendently on my to get list. Hope it makes it to PC, which is my gaming system preference. It's being published by Warner Brothers, which has several games on Steam. Keeping my fingers crossed.
2. Grand Theft Auto 5
Grand Theft Auto, what else to you need to know. The trailer doesn't reveal much about the game. It is set in Los Angeles, which is cool with me. The main character seems relatable enough. The story setup seems to be about the same as the last game. A guy trying to make a new life for himself, but old ways die hard. This game is going to fun, the possibility of Rockstar dissapointing is slim.
3. TombRaider 2011
This game looks really cool too. The graphic overhaul is amazing. I developers are trying to make Lara Croft a more realistic character, which I think is a great way to take the series.
Do you guys have any games that you wish you could play now?
Halloween Sale On Steam Is Going On Till October 31stPosted: October 29, 2011
Steam is having an alright sale going on right now. It's not as big as thier Summer sale, but they still have a some good title you can get for cheap. I bought Dead Space 2 and GhostBusters.
Here are some of the titles that stick out to me:
Left for Dead 1 and 2
Plants vs Zombies
Bioshock 1 and 2
Dead Island
Dead Space 1 and 2
Resident Evil 5
If I buy Battlefield 3, it will be on Steam!Posted: October 26, 2011
I've been hearing a lot of news lately about software developers doing whatever they want and not caring about their consumers. This should not be the case. They should cater to us and not vice versa.
For example, not being able to erase the safe data in that Resident Evil game for the 3DS. I know that Capcom did this to hinder used game sales, but what if I want to erase my freaking game data.
And I feel that gaming companies are taking these online bonus codes too far. Having to have one to be able to play as Catwoman in Batman Arkham city is a bit much.
To top it all off, Battlefield 3, a game that is meant to be played on PC, is not even on Steam! Just because Blizzard can get away with it, doesn't mean you can EA. Looks like it is going to be Modern Warfare 3 for me.

Comedy night raises over £3,500 for Eaves
Neil Robertson
On Monday 14th January 2013 comedian and self-styled 'Bad Boy of Feminism' James Mullinger brought together a superb line up of some of the circuit's best acts in stand-up at the Bloomsbury Theatre, all in support of Eaves.
The evening raised over £3,500 for Eaves' work with vulnerable women.
We would like to thank James, who is now organising the line up for the next Stand Up for Women at the Bloomsbury Theatre on 4th June 2013, for his continued support.
We would also like to thank all the comedians who donated their time and talent: Shappi Khorsandi, Max Olesker, Luisa Omielan, Ed Aczel, Ed Petrie, Mary Bourke, Bridget Christie, Isy Suttie, Kate Smurthwaite, Sara Pascoe, Holly Walsh, Joel Dommett, Max and Ivan, Robin Ince and Rosie Wilby.
Laura Bassett, Eaves' Fundraising Manager says:
"Events like this are so important for Eaves as they not only raise crucial funds but also raise awareness about the issues that we are dealing with every day. We were very pleased that so many people came out on a January Monday evening to support us so generously."
To find out about our next events please visit Eaves events page
We would also like to thank Bloomsbury Theatre, photographers Bronac McNeill and Neil Robertson, and all our guests for their generosity on the night.

Many early life risk factors for childhood obesity are more prevalent among blacks and Hispanics than among whites and may explain the higher prevalence of obesity among racial/ethnic minority children.
To examine the extent to which racial/ethnic disparities in adiposity and overweight are explained by differences in risk factors during pregnancy (gestational diabetes and depression), infancy (rapid infant weight gain, feeding other than exclusive breastfeeding, and early introduction of solid foods), and early childhood (sleeping <12 h/d, presence of a television set in the room where the child sleeps, and any intake of sugar-sweetened beverages or fast food).
Prospective prebirth cohort study.
Multisite group practice in Massachusetts.
Participants included 1116 mother-child pairs (63% white, 17% black, and 4% Hispanic)
Mother's report of child's race/ethnicity.
Main Outcomes and Measures
Age- and sex-specific body mass index (BMI) z score, total fat mass index from dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, and overweight or obesity, defined as a BMI in the 85th percentile or higher at age 7 years.
Black (0.48 U [95% CI, 0.31 to 0.64]) and Hispanic (0.43 [0.12 to 0.74]) children had higher BMI z scores, as well as higher total fat mass index and overweight/obesity prevalence, than white children. After adjustment for socioeconomic confounders and parental BMI, differences in BMI z score were attenuated for black and Hispanic children (0.22 U [0.05 to 0.40] and 0.22 U [−0.08 to 0.52], respectively). Adjustment for pregnancy risk factors did not substantially change these estimates. However, after further adjustment for infancy and childhood risk factors, we observed only minimal differences in BMI z scores between whites, blacks (0.07 U [−0.11 to 0.26]), and Hispanics (0.04 U [−0.27 to 0.35]). We observed similar attenuation of racial/ethnic differences in adiposity and prevalence of overweight or obesity.
Conclusions and Relevance
Racial/ethnic disparities in childhood adiposity and obesity are determined by factors operating in infancy and early childhood. Efforts to reduce obesity disparities should focus on preventing early life risk factors.

La Villa, Little Italy, Recently Opened
I guess they have been opened for 4 days or so. (Dinner only, but soon for lunch).
Address is 1646 India Street where that lightings and furnishings place was, right next to Ironside and across the street from Buon Appetito.
Nice little outdoor patio, set back from the street.
Looks to have a full bar as well.
Some menu offerings:
Amberjack Crudo
Crispy Pigs Head
Handmade Orecchiette with Ox Tail
Sea Urchin Risotto
Rabbit Two Ways
Anyone been?
Walked by Saturday afternoon, but obviously too early for dinner service. Cute place, look forward to trying it. Also, had a very nice lunch at Davanti Enoteca. Worth a try, but I probably would not go at dinner as they don't take reservations for parties smaller than eight.
re: foodiechick
Dropped into Davanti a couple of weeks ago to take a look at their menu, though I wasn't looking for a meal at the time.
Was really impressed by its sheer simplicity & authenticity. Impressed enough to take a photo: http://tinyurl.com/3gew7a9
OK all joking aside, here's their real menu: http://tinyurl.com/3v5q8zw
Stopped by this place for dinner.
Decent service.
Ordered 4 items.
Lamb meatballs, salad (apples, blue cheese) and another dish that I can't remember were all pretty good.
Crispy Pigs Head was a big disappointment. It was covered with a breading that made it seem cheap, like something microwaved. Greasy.
They should have just served the meat with no breading.
Also, there was a Amuse-bouche of carrot foam that was lackluster.
Average wine list with not many wines by the glass. Average priced.
All in all, not a great place, but a decent addition to Little Italy.
re: stevewag23
Found Davanti to be very mediocre, Iowa Italian. Very pretty interior but that's about it. I'll refer to their pizza as Fillipi's lite--lots of doughy, soggy bread with lots of melted cheese and not much in terms of flavor. Had a bruschetta that contained aspargus and mushrooms instead of traditional finely chopped tomatoes, parsley, olive oil, oregano,salt and pepper that authentic Italian restaurants serve. The owner of this restaurant is from Chicago and while he also owns a critically claimed restaurant in the Windy City called The Purple Pig, he is also behind a mediocre chain there called Francesca's.....I would come here for a drink (though the bar is real small) and definitely not the food.
I have yet to dine at La Villa, but I had a glass of wine and really enjoyed the ambience and decor. Like Davanti, it has an outdoor, open air courtyard area where you can dine. Will report back on miy findings. Same owner as Buon Appetito.
Buon Appetito
1609 India St, San Diego, CA 92101
re: El Chevere
re: stevewag23
a) He didn't understand the market in which he was opening
b) Assumed enough people in SD had been to CHI and were sophisticated enough to understand what he was doing
c) Saw and underserved market and thought his concept would fill a niche
d) Assumed that since the Cubs and White Sox only make the World Series about as often as the Padres, that it was a perfect fit
e) Assumed that since the Bears sometimes make noises about being in contention for the Super Bowl, and the Charges sometimes make noises about being in contention for the Super Bowl that the locals were similar to Chicagoans
f) Not doing enough market research
g) Came in, dropped the concept in place and has since returned to Chicago and lef the place in the hands of local management (who may or may not have been to Chicago)
h) Assumed that San Diego had turned a major food corner and was ready for Chicago style ideas, concepts and food
i) Arrogance. If it worked in CHI it's bound to work in SD
j) All of the above
k) none of the above
re: stevewag23
Purple Pig is a standalone restaurant (good) vs. his mediocre chain Francescas--I've eaten at a Francesca's in Naperville, IL and was underwhelmed....this place is a lot closer to Francescas than it is Purple Pig. Guess he's expanding too fast. It's ashame, because the design, including outdoor/cabana-like, is nice and I want it to succeed.
re: stevewag23
I like the place; nice ambiance. Big chef's table in the back kitchen (they offered me a short tour of the place. Great bar staff. Very good pastas and pizzas with housemade topping; also had a tasty rabbit entree; very authentic. Had the amuse bouche ot the day with "congealed grapefruit molecular gastronomy, (humboldt fog??) cheese, avocado, candied walnuts"; also amberjack crudo topped pork belly. So....maybe they are trying a bit too hard. I've been there 4 times, however, and they seem to be settling in to a good groove. I'll be back. I have a .mov video of the barman describing these 2 dishes, but I don't know how to upload this type of file. I'll email it to anybody who feels the need.
Went tonight.
In a word: meh.
In more words: some items sound pretty interesting, but execution is unremarkable. It's much better than the dreadful Il Postino, and better than Davanti Enoteca, but I doubt I'll go back.
Very expensive for what you get, IMO.
re: Josh
La Villa looks so pretty from the street, lit up at night. The way restaurants used to look before NOISE and ENTERTAINMENT (aka bogus themes and house cocktails) hijacked dining out. Very old-school in a happy-memories sort of way. I'm sorry the food doesn't measure up. But why would a great chef slave in such a place, when he can be a Celebrity with an Empire? (excuse my hobby horse.)

Ingrow thug Richard Singh attacked 52-year-old in his own home in Keighley
9:00am Wednesday 14th November 2012 in News
The cost of excessive drinking was graphically illustrated in a case heard at Bradford Crown Court yesterday.
Richard Singh, 26, was jailed for three-and-a-half years for a drunken Boxing Day attack in which he lashed out with a Sambuca bottle, embedding shards of broken glass in a man's face, damaging the sight in his left eye.
Singh, 26, of Queen's Road, Ingrow, Keighley, pleaded guilty to unlawfully wounding Neil Savage, a 52-year-old diabetic.
Prosecutor Richard Smith said Singh visited Mr Savage's home in Bracken Bank Grove, Keighley, at 8.30am on December 26 last year.
He had been drinking and was clutching the Sambuca bottle. Singh said he was a friend of Mr Savage's son and was invited into the house, where Mr Savage lived with his mother, who is in her 70s.
Singh became agitated, swinging the bottle and threatening to hit Mr Savage with it. As Mr Savage wrote down his son's contact details, he felt a blow and began bleeding, the court heard.
He was treated iin Airedale General Hospital, but transfered to Bradford Royal Infirmary as his left eye was bleeding. Mr Smith said Mr Savage, who had cataracts in his right eye, suffered impaired vision in his left eye from the attack. He needed operations and was suffering from stress.
Singh, who was arrested three days' later, had convictions for asault, battery and affray.
His solicitor advocate, Julian White, said his client had serious mental health problems, including paranoia, brought on, in some part, by alcohol and substance abuse.
He had not known what he was doing when at Mr Savage's home. Now drug and alcohol free, Singh was a trained plasterer and father of two.
Judge Peter Benson jailed Singh for three years for unlawful wounding and an extra six months for breach of a previous court order.

MT. VERNON — Mt. Vernon Township High School may file an objection to an appeal by Truck Centers, Inc., to lower the truck dealer's market value.
If successful, the appeal would reduce Truck Centers' 2012 market value from $2,778,498 to $1,920,000, said Lee Ann Crunk, Jefferson County's supervisor of assessments.
This means the firm's Equalized Assessed Valuation for that year would drop from $926,166 to $640,000.
As a result, the business would pay considerably less in property taxes and MVTHS could stand to lose significant revenue.
Truck Centers' Mt. Vernon location is at 621 S. 45th St. The firm is a family-owned heavy truck dealer.
"If a huge entity like that gets reduced or comes off the tax rolls, the amount that everyone else pays (for property taxes) increases," said Superintendent Michael Smith.
Smith broached the tax appeal issue at Monday night's meeting of the MVTHS Board of Education.
He informed the board of Truck Centers' appeal and said the matter has been forwarded to the school district's legal counsel.
Smith said MVTHS typically partners with District 80 schools on matters like this.
A motion for MVTHS to file an intervention in this case will likely come up for a vote at January's school board meeting, Smith said.
Because of limited revenue sources, Smith said it's important for MVTHS to acquire all the dollars it can under tax caps.
Representatives of Truck Centers were unavailable for comment for this story.
Crunk confirmed Thursday she has received the materials related to the Truck Centers appeal.
"I am working on it currently," Crunk said. "I've been given until February 2014 to respond or submit a request for an extension."
The Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board will make the final ruling on the Truck Centers appeal. Crunk said it could be about a year before the issue is fully resolved.
In July, it was announced that MVTHS and District 80 were filing interventions related to an appeal by the Walgreens Distribution Center to lower the center's 2011 EAV from $3.5 million to $1.9 million.
This appeal is still pending before the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board, Crunk said.

Steve Zwick, Contributor
I write about the economic value of nature's services.
The Heartland Institute yesterday lashed out at the blogosphere for reporting on the contents of leaked documents that appeared on DeSmogBlog late in the night of February 14. It was material that, if legit, implies Heartland is guilty of spreading dangerous disinformation simply to make a buck (something it has long accused climate scientists of doing).
Heartland, a nominally Libertarian "think tank", is one of the loudest voices in the climate-change denial choir, yet its prepared statement contained, among threats and hedged denial, this appeal to the better angels of our nature:
"…honest disagreement should never be used to justify the criminal acts and fraud that occurred in the past 24 hours," the statement said. "As a matter of common decency and journalistic ethics, we ask everyone in the climate change debate to sit back and think about what just happened."
Yes, let's think of what just happened – and why stop 24 hours ago (or, more accurately, 48 hours ago at this point)? Why not go back a decade or even two? Or a century? Or longer?
Let's think of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which aggregates research from thousands of scientists and then summarizes it in conservative assessment reports that have been vetted hundreds of times over before being released to the public.
Let's think of the people who attack the IPCC – people who have no qualms about pulling isolated sentences out of early drafts of thousand-page documents and then using them to try and discredit an entire body of research.
Let's think of climate scientists – geeky types who, for the most part, grew up with a sense of wonder at the world around them, devoted their lives to learning, and now spend their time modeling clouds and currents or digging into ice sheets.
Let's think of the community of climate science – which spent the last century modeling the skies and the seas as early generations grew old and died and subsequent generations carried on, tested the theories, discarded the ones that didn't hold up, and kept the ones that did.
Let's think of how the notion emerged that man's activities were first going to alter the atmosphere, then might be altering the atmosphere, and – finally – were almost certainly altering the atmosphere.
Let's think of how this evidence slowly began to mount across the scientific community, how it came into focus from data points across the globe, from ice sheets and tree rings to physical measurements.
Let's think of how scientists – as is their wont – questioned this evidence, attacked it – "honestly disagreed" with it – until they had no choice but to acknowledge that their worst fears were, in fact, coming true.
Let's think of how they came to realize that our current practices were bringing us to a cliff that will kill our crops, dry our prairies, and destroy our economy. Let's think of the subsistence farmers in Kenya who are currently suffering a drought that Arizonans can't even comprehend, or the indigenous tribes of the Amazon who will suffer under climate change – or the mass migrations that will threaten our national security.
Let's think of the absurd belief that a global community of highly-educated scientists would collude to create a false body of knowledge just so they can make a buck.
Let's think of the military, which is already taking steps to protect us from the consequences of our own apathy.
There are three problems with the "Global Warming" camp that I have never seen reconciled. First, it's based on what could potentially happen in computer models. These computer models do not replicate historical data when applied to the last 100 years, and yet they are accepted as fact. This is science fiction, not science. Second, all of the calculations that are done, and I mean ALL of them, that I have seen (high profile example: the hockey stick) are statistical manipulations of data. If you can't make the raw data work for your theory, your theory is null. You don't get to change the data by eliminating the Little Ice Age and the Mideval Warm Period data. Third, carbon dioxide's radiative absorbtion is almost entirely accounted for by water. So, water is heating us up, not carbon dioxide. Let's get rid of the two real green house gasses before we bother with carbon dioxide: Nitrogen gas and water vapor.
There are several problems with your assertions.
1. The fact that the Arctic has lost 78% of it's mass in 30 years as reported by Admiral Titley, or the glacial land ice loss, or the ph changes in the ocean to to increased CO2 absorption, or the shifting of seasons, or the increase in acres burned each year, or the increase in flood events in certain regions, or the increase in droughts in certain regions, or the trending increase in global temperatures… well, non of that has anything to do with models. Those are just facts that have been observed.
2. Actually the computer models do do backcasting to test validity, and some go further back than 100 years.
3. Raw data shows warming, manipulated data shows warming. What you fail to understand is that it's the raw data that is less trustworthy though. Because you have to account for aberrations that may skew the data. That's why you need models, to make sure the readings are not biased by thermometers sitting on airport tarmacs or next to a heat source. But the raw data also shows the same warming, it's just less accurate in the details
4. The LIA and the MWP are fully recognized in the data.
5. Your last point on CO2 and H2O has no scientific basis in the peer responded literature.
Water accounts for around 50% of the greenhouse effect. clouds 25%, CO2 20% and other absorbers around 5%.
"Second, all of the calculations that are done, and I mean ALL of them, that I have seen (high profile example: the hockey stick) are statistical manipulations of data." Have you ever worked with data at all? When you speak into your cell phone do you think the raw data is transmitted? It is not – the entire field of signal processing (including such things as "statistical manipulation") has existed for hundreds of years to make sense of noisy and unreliable raw data. These statistical "tricks" are not unique to climate science, they are not new, and they are perfectly valid ways of extracting signals from noise.
And this applies to your first point as well – computer models and simulations are used in many industries (I guarantee that the aircraft you last flew in was extensively tested using computer models). Climate models have shown great skill in backcasting, and certainly *do* acknowledge the LIA and MVP.
Mr Resiman:
1.) I never said that the world wasn't warming. While my implication could be taken to mean that, I admit. I apologize for the ambiguation. But my skepticism is that the warming is due to man made causes. I am addressing the underlying "Causes" and not the fact that the overall temperature is changing.
2.) The results of backcasting have not been peer reviewed. The reports that are all issued say "Of course, we backcasted and it came out close to the last 200 years!" and then no data is provided in the reports about future warming. So what I see is something along the lines of a prediction, which uses no end of guesses about how our global climate system works, which has consistently over-predicted events for 25 years. The models from the early 80s predicted 2-7 C (Depending upon your favored model) of warming by the year 2000. I have no doubt that the models have gotten better and more complex, but why should I now think that they are accurate when the same byline about backdating is the same justification from the early 80s?
3.) Raw data shows FLUCTUATION. Up and Down, much as my mentioned Mideval Warming and Little Ice Age. If we cannot explain these well documented historical aberrations in the temperature of earth, we cannot explain our current situation.
Manipulated data, on the other hand, shows either warming or cooling, depending which side of the fence you want to be on. This makes it useless for any scientific theory to be based upon.
4.) I have seen multiple statistical records that show no evidence of the MWP or the LIA. Please show me in the Pro-ManMade literature where they are pointed out and explained in terms of the theory that climate change is man-made. This is not facetious, this is an actual request.
5.) My point on CO2 and H2O having co-habitating bands of radiative absorbtion have no scientific basis? This is basic, and well documented, physics. All molecules absorb energy amongst certain wavelengths (or "Bands") of the electromagnetic spectrum. CO2′s absorbtion of energy is co-absorbed by water. Around 60% of CO2′s absorbable wavelengths are already absorbed by water. And since there is a finite amount of energy being emitted from the sky (both the sun and extrasolar in-bounds), if it's already absorbed by water, then CO2 will not absorb it a second time.
Statistics are used to normalize data and to derive trends. When they are used to forcast, the results are given percentages, which is why the weather channel will say "30% chance of precipitation" instead of "It's certainly going to rain!" Given the inputs, the model suggests that an outcome may be possible.
Statistics can point the way towards a theory, but it cannot be the BASE of a theory.
As for your assertion that computer models are used for initial testing of things like cars, airplanes, and other things: This is true. But that's not the computer model on display here. Air and fluid dynamics are well known with almost all variables identified and accounted for. Additionally, these computer models have been extensively tested for 35-40 years and have extensive mathematical models from before the compute rmodeling came along.
The computer models for climate change:
A) Have not been extensively tested (try predicting 1,3, or 5 years out and then revising if wrong, there has been 25 years of Computer Models to do this with, yet it hasn't been done. If you can't predict shorter-range changes, what makes me believe you can predict long-range changes?) and
B) not all variables of the global climate system have been identified, much less accounted for in the current models.
For your statements of backcasting, I responded for similar assertions to Mr Reisman above.
1. Milankovitch cycles are the long term drivers and form that point of view we should be relatively stable in temperature entering an ice age about 35 kyrs from now. We added more CO2, that increased the RF, we are warming and Mheel the attribution studies show good separation of signal from noise.
2. I was at a meeting in Geneva 2 years ago and the backcasting is all being done through the peer review process. Try google scholar.
3. Everyone knows the MWP and LIA are in the data and there are people studying those areas. Again, I suggest google scholar if you want to get up on the latest attribution work for those events. But LIA may have some attribution in volcanism as well as the Maunder and Dalton minimums and the MPW if I recall properly may have some attribution to the DO cycle. Try google scholar though as there may be new papers in those areas and I have not looked in a few years.
4. Your question seems to be confusing in many respects. What is pro-ManMade literature? I've never seen any climate work that does not show the MWP or LIA. Maybe you are referring to modeled data yo were examining? Generally you question is to mixed.
5. You stated "So, water is heating us up, not carbon dioxide". The inference there is that carbon dioxide is not causing warming and that is the point I was addressing. Both the oceans and the atmosphere are warming. Your statement does not seem to address spectral analysis though and was to general to divine your intention of spectral overlap in the relevant micron bands. I am well aware of the spectral bands as well as altitudinal ratios of the constituent components.
1.) I know our climate is changing. I know about the Milankovitch, and it's extremely long-range cyclic action. But I also know that the RF increases from Carbon Dioxide are logarithmic. Even if the hypothesis that CO2 is true: A) 60% of it's effect already came from water and B) It's effect is reducing by an order of magnitude for each unit we emit.
2.) I use tools like scholar and review this because I'm interested in why everyone's worked up, both for and against. I find no peer review outside of "we compiled the code, and yep, it matched!" which is useless as it's not experimental, it's rote. That's like putting a car's transmission into D and saying it works, then getting my friend to do the same. What do I say when R is found to malfunction? "Well, I never thought to put it in R" isn't useful. And that's what I see in the climate models. The sun's effects seem to be vacant in half of them (either ignored or hard-coded).
3.) From what I see, the studies and comparisons that statistically manipulate the data, the MWP and the LIA both disappear in most of them. Such as the original "hockey stick". Most of the "Pro-ManMade" releases are similar, although some do give plots/references to them without explaning them in the context of the theory that man is causing climate change. How, for instance, did it get 2-5C warmer than today without increasing global warming? Is this same process at work, now?
Now that it's trending cooler, is the LIA going to be repeated? How do we know if we don't know what caused it in the first place?
The Maunder and Dalton minimums were more or less reproduced in the cycle 23 sunspot minimums. And everything has been getting colder. So is the Sun's radiance cycle more influencing on the climate than CO2? Or is it a confluence of the many climate patterns that move across our globe that we don't have an understanding of, yet?
4.) I see three sides to this debate: "Pro-ManMade Climate Change" "Natural Climate Change" and "No Climate Change". I believe the data eliminates the third group, and my investigations are leading me more to the "Natural drives more than humanity" version of the story, simply because we know of between 12 and 22 (again, depending on who you wish to believe) natural climactic cycles. Modern science hasn't seen how they all interact.
Are we simply heading towards another MWP-esque event and man's contribution really did nothing? That's what I'm leaning for, mainly because we both don't know the actual RF of carbon in our atmosphere because water eats most of it's energy bands and because the effect of any greenhouse gas is logarithmic.
4.) Pro-ManMade is the first group I described above. As are my statements about the MWP and the LIA. Go and look at the statistical arrays that are built showing historical temperature. We tend to be in the warmest part of the last 10,000 years in them. This is especially true in the ones that are released to the mass media and the ones that are given to lawmakers.
5.) I apologize. That was sarcasm to exaggerate a point. All gasses in our atmosphere cause warming to some degree. But they are ALL logarithmic.
To conclude, here's how I see it:
There IS climate change, but A) It's primarily natural or B) we caused a good portion (50%+) of the shift in temperature of 0.8 C from 1850 to 2000, but we've reached the threshold and we won't cause as much in the next 150 years if we emit the same amount.
The science says "it's warming". The causes of that warming I cannot confidently say that it's being driven by CO2 simply because there's too little data on how our global climate works to say "Here is the cause!" at this point.
I'm running low on time so I will point out one thing that you said that illustrates why many people don't understand what is happening. You said:
"Now that it's trending cooler, is the LIA going to be repeated? How do we know if we don't know what caused it in the first place?"
The problem is that it's not trending cooler. Short term fluctuation is natural variation. When all factors are considered, it is extremely unlikely to virtually certain that we will not enter an LIA event.
NASA studies I've read indicate that volcanism and ocean heat content overturn were likely factors. But that has nothing to do with our current increase in radiative forcing they are separate animals. When you realize that you have to remove 6 W/m2 to get into a stable ice age and then factor that we have been in relative radiative equilibrium for the Holocene period, and then at 1.8 W/m2 to the RF, then you realize that it is highly unlikely we can go back into an LIA phase at this time.
Hello Mr. Reisman,
But according to Hansen:
James Hansen, a world famous climate science activist/NASA physicist writes in one of his publications, called "Earth's Energy Imbalance and Implications".
The precision achieved by the most advanced generation of radiation budget satellites is indicated by the planetary energy imbalance measured by the ongoing CERES (Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System) instrument (Loeb et al., 2009), which finds a measured 5-year-mean imbalance of 6.5 W/m2 (Loeb et al., 2009). Because this result is implausible, instrumentation calibration factors were introduced to reduce the imbalance to the imbalance suggested by climate models, 0.85 W/m2 (Loeb et al., 2009).
So that's how science is performed. When observed data confound the results gleaned from climate models, substitute the latter for the former. How insightful!
Gary Marshall
Backcasting with models? Wow, you are very ignorant of science. I could predict the fall of the USSR to the day with backcasting, but that doesn't mean it works.
Too funny.
Your description of how CO2 & Water Vapour work to cause then GH Effect is a commonly held one. But it is a misconception. It isn"t simply a question of absorption. It is what happens afterwards. If all the atmosphere did was absorb it would just get hotter & hotter.
At low altitude the absorption regions of CO2 & H2O do overlap. You could just as easily say CO2 absorbs rather than H2O. Effectively between them the absorb virtually all the radiation available. This energy gets mixed around all the molecules in the atmosphere via collisions so it results in a general warming of the lower atmosphere. All this gas then eventually radiates mor IR radiation as any warm objject. And again much of this gets re-absorbed by CO2 & H2O. So the atmosphere is like a thig fog in the IR bands, not letting IR radiation out. So how does it eventually escape to space?
As we go higher the density of the air drops and there are fewer GH molecules in any volume of air. So it starts to get easier for IR radiation to travel further. Eventually the air is thin enough that any IR radiated is able to escape to space. This is referred to as the Top Of Atmosphere (TOA). The important point to understand is that the amount of IR escaping to space depends on the temperature of the air at TOA altitude. Since it is much colder than at the surface, less radiation escapes. This is the basic green house effect. So the surface needs to be warm enough for two things to happen. The upper air is warmed a bit so the temperature at TOA is higher and more IR is radiated to space. And in those bands where GH gases don't absorb anything, the so called 'Atmospheric Window', the warmer surface means more IR escaping to space through the window. The surface warms enough until the amount of energy escaping in these ways is enough to balance the energy arriving from the Sun.
But there is one more factor that makes CO2 more signiificant than it seems. Water Vapour amounts in the atmosphere decline with altitude more rapidly than CO2. CO2 remains at around 390 ppm all the way to the very top of the atmosphere. In contrast H2O's percentage dropos off with altitude, essentially because it falls out of the air as precipitation. So by the time we reach the Stratosphere CO2 is still 390 ppm, while H2O is negligible at around 5 ppm.
As a consequence of this, the TOA altitude for H2O is much lower (and warmer) than for CO2. So in the bands where only H2O operates, it radiates more IR because it is warmer. In the bands where H2O and CO2 overlap, although H2O is thin enough to let IR through to space, the CO2 is still dense enough to prevent it. So in the bands where the 2 gases overlap, it is CO2 that limits how much energy escapes to space.
You obviously have no clue how climate models work. They are used to test physical models to see if they match reality and why; they are not designed to match reality, as in a predetermined outcome.
I don't see the big deal or smoking gun. What Heartland did is no different from what people who promote action on global warming do: they try to influence people. Given that the future of our planet and civilization is at stake, both sides are of course trying everything they can to sway peoples' opinions.
And I do suggest people read the IPCC report and think about what it actually says. And what it says is that even under the worst case scenarios, the cost of remediating the consequences of global warming amount to a small blip in our GDP; Europe and the US have little to fear from climate change and that means that we won't be doing anything about it. Do you really think European and US voters give a damn about what happens to the Amazon or Kenyan farmers? And as for "mass migrations", there are already millions of people living in poverty and near starvation, are they beating down on our doors?
You can beat your chest and give sanctimonious speeches all you want, but in the end that's just posturing to make yourself look good. The cold, hard reality is that whatever the consequences of burning fossil fuels may be, they are going to happen and we will have to live with them. That's really the end of the story. Your time would be better spent promoting new technologies to deal with the consequences instead of trying to prevent the inevitable.

The Experiment, Part 3
This post is long overdue, but it's finally here! So what's the verdict?
All of the goals I set for the games failed miserably, the games got played nowhere near the amount of times I had expected and earned nowhere near what I expected. So what went wrong? The short answer is a lot of things, I failed to polish the games, I failed to make the core mechanics fun, I failed at following all the advice that I've blogged about in the past, but before I get into too much detail let's start off this post with some numbers…
Monolith Guardian
Plays: 134,000
CPMStar Earnings: $60
NG Score: 3.81
Kong Score: 2.71
Beyond Escape
Plays: 32,000
CPMStar Earnings: $20
NG Score: 3.57
Kong Score: 2.79
Save The Egg
Plays: 15,000
CPMStar Earnings: $1
NG Score: 3.07
Kong Score: 2.32
Now for the long answer on what went wrong.
Beyond Escape
One of the biggest problems in this game is the User Interface. It's absolutely awful and doesn't fit together well at all. Even though the background art is nice it appears as if stuff was just thrown on top of it with no rhyme or reason. This made me come to realization that just because someone is a good artist does NOT make them a good game artist. If your artist doesn't understand basic game design the game will not turn out well no matter how fun the underlying concept is. This issue plagued all three of the games, but it definitely hit the hardest in this one.
At the base this game actually had some potential with its core concept, but the further I got into it the more I lost sight of the my first vision. Originally the game was meant to be a mix between winterbells and endless migration, but got morphed into just another lame distance game as I went. The game also lacked a lot of polish I gave my normal games, but that was not the main reason for its downfall. It was doomed the second I received the art. (Again I would like to clarify that the artist is amazing, but just didn't understand the difference between game art and regular art which is completely my fault).
Monolith Guardian
This was the only game which didn't end up as a complete failure. The one redeeming quality is that the game does contain a fair amount of polish, but you can still feel the disjoint between the art and the code. The failing point of this game was not the lack of connection but rather the fact that the the core concept just wasn't fun. I tried introducing a unique mechanic of having the enemies move based on where they were shot and bounce of walls, but it simply didn't work for this type of game.
The game also feels very flat and seems to be missing real content. Despite the fact that I introduce a new type of enemy almost every wave it feels like there is no variation in the gameplay. The main strategy for the whole game is to stay at the bottom of the screen and move back and forth as fast as possible. Variety doesn't mean having a lot of different types of enemies, it doesn't mean having a lot upgrades, it means the player has to do something noticeably different every so often to get pass a challenge.
Save The Egg
This game was amazing when I made it and is still amazing in my eyes. It deserved to perform MUCH better than it did. The biggest shortcoming on this game was the amount of polish, had I made everything fit together a little better it probably would've done better. The game isn't really targeted towards the NG and Kong market either which didn't help as far as getting the game distributed. It probably would've performed better if played by more casual gamers on sites such as Mindjolt. It might make for a good iOS port too if I could think of a good control scheme. I really don't have anything else to say about this game.
So what's next?
For the sake of redemption I intend of continuing this experiment with another one week sprint of game making in the near future. I really do believe I am capable of getting the kind of results I had originally expected. After this experiment had ended I created a game called Castle Guardian which earned several thousand dollars, caused Agitated Ferret to make some real money, received millions of plays, and was legitimately fun. I did most of the development in about 2 days worth of work.
I've been focused on a lot of other projects recently which doesn't really give me too much time to continue this. Unless you're interested in following my other endeavorer I'll be stopping "The Experiment" after my next one week sprint. You may have also noticed that I didn't mention the website that I advertised with these games, but that's due to my lack of data on the subject. I messed up while implementing tracking, but the money I made from that was pretty small.
Since the whole artist thing seems to have finally blown over I'll probably return to blogging on a much more regular basis. Writing these things help me realize my mistakes and learn from them. Hopefully they'll help you to not make the same mistakes I have.
Happy Holidays!

I've always had a passion for math, and I enjoy helping others learn and work through challenges. My favorite subject to teach is Algebra 1 and 2. I am currently pursuing my teaching certification through the UTeach Dallas program, which includes both intense coursework and student teaching in math classrooms. I am very patient and easy-going, and can adapt to a variety of learning styles. In tutoring math, I walk through problems systematically and reinforce the fundamental concepts that the student can apply to similar problems. I prefer regular sessions so that I can observe a student's learning style and adapt accordingly. I believe it is important to build a relationship with the student first because they say "no one cares how much you know until they know how much you care." I have always worked very hard in my courses, and I expect my students to do the same.
I graduated from The University of Texas at Dallas with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2014. My cumulative undergrad GPA was 3.80. I completed advanced math courses in high school, culminating with AP Calculus and AP Statistics. I achieved a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam and a 4 on the AP Statistics exam. During my time in college, I completed various courses in math including Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Theoretical Concepts of Calculus, Abstract Algebra, Mathematical Analysis, Probability, Stochastic Processes, Numerical Analysis, and Complex Variables. I have tutored my younger siblings and friends in math for years, and I love seeing others succeed.
I mainly tutor in the Richardson area during the school year, but I am available for summer tutoring in Flower Mound. Please don't hesitate to send me a message!
A little more about me: I have lived in Houston, Dallas, and Charlotte, NC. My parents home schooled me through the seventh grade. Then I attended public school at Downing Middle School and Marcus High School in Flower Mound, TX. For many years, I taught children's Sunday school at my church. I played the flute competitively for 6 years and now enjoy it as a hobby. I'm also a runner, constantly trying to improve!
I took Pre-AP Algebra 1 in 8th grade and was recognized for outstanding performance and success. The Summit Club of Flower Mound also awarded me for academic excellence in mathematics.
Personally, this is my favorite subject to teach.
During my sophomore year of high school, I was awarded a certificate of achievement for outstanding performance and success in Pre-AP Algebra 2.
I was homeschooled for all of elementary school and I have a strong foundation in elementary math.
I have been playing the flute for over seven years. I currently play in the UTD Wind Ensemble and have performed at several church and community functions. While at Marcus High School, I earned a spot in the Wind Symphony during my freshman year, and worked up to first chair for two years. I won the "Outstanding Soloist" award three different years and I was an alternate for the All-State band in 2009. I also performed at The Midwest Clinic in 2007. I participated in the marching band, which won the Texas UIL 5A State Championship in 2006 and 2008.
I was recognized for outstanding performance and success in 7th grade Pre-AP Math at Downing Middle School.

Reid Calls for End to Legal Prostitution
Listen to the story
Addressing a joint session of the state legislature, the US majority leader told a story about a businessman considering moving his company to Storey County, but who was shocked that prostitution was a key industry there.
Sen. Reid: "If we want to attract business to Nevada that puts people back to work, the time has come to outlaw prostitution."
He got no applause after his big line, though there was a bit of clapping when he first started speaking of prostitution's ills.
But Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite Bunnyranch just outside Carson City says the brothels are huge components of rural county budgets. He also says illegal prostitution comes with a cost.
Dennis Hof: "You can spend $10 Million a year policing vice like Las Vegas and not do a good job or you can spend zero."
At a meeting with reporters, I tried to get the Senator to explain why he didn't raise this issue long ago when he was in the state legislature.
Rittiman: "Has this been on your radar screen before?"
Sen. Reid: "Next question."

The third DVD volume of the
television program
host Daniel Tosh wearing cardigans and then casual jackets. Yes, that�s how he
differentiates various seasons of the program. In earlier volumes he wore
hoodies and deep V-neck shirts.
I have to wonder if anyone particularly
cares what Daniel Tosh wears. I�d prefer to think not. But if he�s going to
keep up with the idea of wearing a different type of outfit each season, here are
a few suggestions:
Fur coats (He could wear a
different animal each week. Some good choices would be fox, chinchilla,
raccoon, beaver, squirrel and monkey.)
Boy band concert T-shirts
(But only from shows he actually attended himself. You know he owns a bunch.)
Clothing of dead celebrities
(He could purchase them at auctions or estate sales, and then viewers would
have to guess which celebrity each outfit once belonged to.)
Okay, enough of that. For those
who are unfamiliar with this television show, the basic idea behind it is that
comedian Daniel Tosh shows videos found on the internet and then pokes fun at
them. It sounds simple, and it is, but it is also often quite funny.
Cardigans Plus Casual Jackets
is a
three-disc set featuring fifteen episodes as well as a lot of bonus material.
This set has plenty that got me
laughing. In the first episode, the video of the little kid parallel parking
his toy car is great. Tosh says, �
I will
give you a hundred dollars if you can teach my Asian girlfriend to do that
And in a later episode we get to watch an
Asian woman trying to park.
showing a video of two girls fighting, Tosh comments, �
It starts out like anything with a girl � with a lot of talking
The Video Breakdown of the
weightlifter is really good. But from that episode I especially love Tosh
ripping on Tom Cruise and Scientology (and Christianity too, for good measure).
He talks about how Tom Cruise will sue anyone who even hints that he might be
gay. Then he asks the two girls in the Web Redemption segment if they think
he�s gay. In place of their actual answer, we hear this voice over: �
No, I do not. There is absolutely no way
that Tom Cruise is gay
.� Perfect. That entire segment is really good. (And
during the closing credits of that episode there is a bit more, including a
funny reference to
Other Web Redemption segments
include the Tron Guy (though it isn�t really a redemption as he didn�t mess up
in an online video in the first place), a crying New York Giants fan (Daniel
Tosh helps him put things into perspective), and a cheerleader who got trampled
by the football team.
Probably my favorite Web
Redemption is with the little girl who threw back a foul ball at a baseball
game after her father caught it and handed it to her. Of course, Daniel Tosh is
way off the mark when he criticizes the game of baseball, which is by far the
best sport. But what I particularly love is that Clay Buchholz makes an awesome
guest appearance in this segment.
Of course, some bits go on too long, like the wrestling
bit in the second episode. And the eyeball montage is the first thing in this
show I actually turned away from. Enjoy.
Bonus Features
The third disc includes quite a
lot of bonus material. Most of it is extended Web Redemption interviews. Of
that footage, by far my favorite is his interview with the sorority girl. When
he talks about her initiation into his own sorority, he tells her, �
You have to pay me to be my friend. It�s
okay. Everyone does it. It�s kind of like Scientology, but less queer
Interestingly, most of the folks come off pretty well in these extended
Also included in the bonus
features is Daniel Tosh�s full ten-minute spoiler of the film
. I haven�t seen this movie, but
now I want to. Am I demented? It sounds awful.
Rounding out the bonus features
are several short interviews with some of the program�s crew members, including
a graphic artist, a writer, a couple of people in post, and the show�s stylist
(the stylist talks about possible future clothing options for Daniel).
Tosh.O: Cardigans Plus Casual Jackets
was released on December 21,
2012. It�s sold exclusively at Walmart, and for that reason
I was reluctant to review it. I�d prefer if no one ever shopped at that
particular store. So if you decide to purchase this one, try to find another
way to obtain it. But don�t steal it. The good folks at Comedy Central deserve
to get their cut. Just try to keep Walmart from getting a cent.

Dialogue and learning for creating a peaceful, sustainable world.
To Americans, baseball is all about enjoyment and sudden surprises; of spectacular hits, dexterous fielding and cheeky running between the bases. Not so in Japan. When introduced in the late 19th century, baseball was widely interpreted by the former samurai elite to be a kind of spiritual training - a discipline for shaping young minds and bodies. To the Japanese, yakyū (field ball) is seen to this day as a martial art to be practised remorselessly to perfection and then grimly executed with the sole purpose of crushing the opposition. [1996]
"Japanese Baseball: A Whole New Ballgame"The News & Observer, Sunday, Sept. 28, 1997By Gary A. Warner, Staff reporter for Orange County (CA) RegisterOh, take me out to the besuboru gameTake me out to the domeBuy me some dried squid and yakitori on a stickThe orange-colored rabbit mascot is really a kickFor it's bang the taiko drum for the home teamBut if they tie the other team, it'd be great.One, two, three "sanshin," bow to the ump, and you're outAt the old besuboru game.
They don't sing that song above during the seventh-inning stretch at Japanese baseball games. In fact, they don't sing anything at all. Oh, the insanely loud home-team rooters in the right-field seats screeching on their whistles and pounding on a big taiko drum will occasionally break into a toe-tapper such as "To the Sky with Fighting Soul, Ah Giants." But that can happen any time. Or rather all the time. From an hour before the game until the final out. Still, it's baseball all the same. Nine players. Nine innings. Three outs. A full count is still 3-and-2. No wait, it's 2-and-3. In Japan, the strikes are called first. But otherwise, it's just like a night at Seattle's Kingdome or at Dodger Stadium.Except for players bowing to the umpire instead of kicking dirt on him. And the cheerleaders dancing on the field between innings. The young women with pony kegs of beer strapped to their backs serving draft from a spigot. The vendors hawking cigarettes or the couples sharing a "bento box" of deep-fried asparagus and raw fish on rice wrapped with seaweed. The players throwing stuffed animals to the crowd after a home run.Same pastime. Different nations. Baseball in Japan is a game familiar, yet exotic.
