Add a commentA few notables were in action this weekend. In Villeurbanne, France at Fight Zone 5, French notable Hichem Chaibi topped the experienced Thai Bovy Sor Udomson on points. Also on the card, Abdallah Ezbiri knocked out Filipo Solheid to become the new WKN European K-1 Champion in the 66.7kg division. Also in France, Karim Ghajji and Thomas Adamandopoulos both won on points at Urban Boxing United.
In the Netherlands, Nick Beljaards won on points against Yassin Lahmidi at the Bari Gym Gala. Beljaards will have a quick turn-around and fight at It's Showtime's May 21st event against Mo Ben Nasser. At the event "A Night To Remember," Khalid Chabrani defeated Errol Koning by 5 round decision. Koning will be facing Murthel Groenhart on June 11 for It's Showtime in Warsaw, Poland.

Every champion falls, every great fighter declines, and every star burns out or fades away. It is the nature of the beast; as inherent and inexorable a fact as that the Earth orbits the Sun, that grass is green and that Michael Schiavello will scream "Goodnight Irene!" during a fight broadcast when a fighter gets sparked. To get proverbial, what goes up must come down, and as a promising young fighter embarks on his career, the ageing warrior must one day reach the point where the journey must end.
Andy Howson lost his ISKA world title last night, and subsequently announced his retirement. He was cheered by a raucous following, and hugged by the friend that had just relieved him of his championship belt. The show was over.
After 13yrs, he admitted that the young had usurped the (comparatively) old, and that his time was done. "After 13yrs, a lot of hard fights and a few world titles" was his own way of putting it, but he neglected to mention the respect of his peers, the support of his friends and his team, and the fact he went out being cheered. Hey, home town or not, even legends get booed at the end... just ask Nigel Benn. Going out to cheers and applause is a pinnacle.
As for the fight itself, it was a counter-striking technician against a shorter, more brawling orientated scrapper in Andy. Dean James used his range well, and though he initially showed Howson a great deal of respect in a cautious opening round, he turned it up a notch in the final minute of the second. A standing elbow landed precisely, arcing down onto Howson's head and cutting him open. The blitzkrieg was expected from the defending champion in the third, but it was this round that the downfall continuted; while Andy pressed, James began to pick him off and avoiding the inside work, landed another elbow from the clinch. Wobbled, Howson was forced back to the ropes, and a short elbow from the clinch dropped him. He survived the round.

The fourth round spelled the end. As one fan put it, Howson "went crazy as only he can", and tried flurrying to turn the contest into an all out brawl. James complied to some extent, and should be credited for not playing an overly cautious technical game in his victory; this was an exciting contest. Alas, it had to end, and after allowing the bout to continue following a check up, the referee called another halt as the two head wounds spat blood, some of which was running down into Howson's eyes. An audible groan went round, as Dean James was declared the new ISKA World Bantamweight champion, and Howson's reign was ended.
Ultimate respect to Andy Howson, one of Leeds, Yorkshire and England's best Muay Thai fighters, and a very likeable guy.
Jordan Watson did not compete on the card, as his recent title defence over Cedric Mueller of France was still reminding his body about it. He did, however, speak very candidly with me about the 70kg MAX division he competes in, and there will be more on that in my next upload. Stay tuned.
Howson's retirement and Watson's non-participation didn't entirely cast ill-omen on Bad Company at the event, and they had their moments of triumph too. Lee Mundin outpointed Jo Boffey, thanks to a Herculean comeback in the final two rounds. Boffey had nudged ahead on the scorecards leading into the fourth, but Mundin earned a win for Bad Company in handsomely outlanding and outworking Boffey and taking the decision victory.
Also a victor was "Nice Guy" Eddie Long. The unassuming 78kg fighter has a peculiar hunched stance, his chin tucked and hands held outwards Remy style. It led me to ask his sparring partner, "The Myth" whether or not Long had a glass jaw that needed protecting at all costs. Not only the answer he gave, but the fight in question proved that he certainly didn't - Lee Keegan was unable to hurt him, and struggled to deal with the leg kicks dished out by the Bad Company man. At the end of the first round, his right leg was visibly wilting, with redness showing at the back of his thigh, and the expected finish came soon after. Despite his outward calm, Keegan backed into his corner and was more focused on blocking Long's leg kicks as opposed to dishing out his own offence, and after one too many right lowkicks, he buckled, and was unable to beat the count.
Off to a winning start for Long, who will look to compete at a forthcoming HGH Promotions or Bad Company promoted show. Who says nice guys finish last?
It has been a bit difficult to approach this weekend's KRUSH results, as the show has yet to air in Japan or anywhere else, but there are reports on the internet about them, as opposed to retread on territory that has already been covered by people at the show, I defer you, our readers to K-1's official site for our friend Stuart Tonkin's write up of the event. Tonkin has been covering events for K-1's official site for years now and was live in the arena for the event. So here, your photo of the day, is KRUSH's newly-crowned Triple Champions.
Add a commentFight Code held yet another event today, in cooperation with Wako-Pro who held a Croatia vs. Hungary tournament on the undercard as well as placed Bob Sapp in the main event. The Fight Code portion of the event aired live on Fight Code's website and if you for some reason missed the action, the fights are up for your viewing pleasure.
The Super Fights were interesting to say the least, with each bout set to feature a certain fighter for the upcoming Rhinos tournament. Vitali Akhramenko squared off with Gyorgy Mihalik. Mihalik was able to hold his own throughout a good portion of the first two rounds but had a lot of trouble in the third, just barely surviving the fight. Akhramenko was simply too powerful and technical for Mihalik and the bout was clearly to feature him.
Timhar Brunner was given a dubious task of fighting Miladen Brestovac. Brestovac was able to easily walk right through Brunner within mere moments. Honestly, Brunner was not in the game at all for this bout and was completely out-classed.
Freddy Kemayo, a name that many know quite well from It's Showtime got a victory for himself, getting himself some great forward momentum for the Rhino Series tournament. Corneliu Rus was his opponent and he put forth a valid effort, but against a tried-and-true competitor like Kemayo, swarming him early on with only a select few shots landing is not how you fight him. Kemayo has been around the block a few too many times and simply weathered the storms while covering up and taking minimal, if any damage. Rus was then caught off-guard and knocked down by Kemayo and stumbled back to his feet. Freddy just moved in and one lone punch sent Rus into the ropes before crumbling for good, not knowing where he was.
If for some reason you are interested in Bob Sapp, he was destroyed by Tivadar Kunkli after being knocked down three times.
As for the Dragon's Series Tournament, it was not without early controversy. Norbert Balough clearly outworked Luka Tomic before the bout was declared a draw. This simply set a fire under him as he took Tomic down in the extension round with a head kick. In the second of the tournament bouts, Yuri Bessmerty put on a bit of a show against his opponent, Selmedin Didic. He essentially just worked him over for three rounds while taunting him but never went in for the kill. In the third bout, Halim Issaoui pulled off an interesting upset over British Muay Thai standout Simon Chu. Chu looked confident early on before getting dropped in the first, held on for the second and did his best to rally in the third, but it was not enough to secure him a victory.
Add a commentThe GLORY World Series keeps getting more and more interesting as the card trickles out. The event organizer Martijn de Jong is currently on vacation in Indonesia, so things are happening whenever he has the time and internet connection to make big moves, and he continues to do so.
We already know that the main event is the tournament final between Gokhan Saki and Brice Guidon, and that Tommy Depret will meet Siyar Bahadurzada in the Middleweight MMA Finals. On top of that Errol "Bonecrusher" Zimmerman vs. Mourad Bouzidi, Nieky Holzken vs. Artur Kyshenko, Igor Jurkovic vs. Pavel Zuravilov and our good friend Mark "Fight Shark" Miller vs. Nikolaj Falin are all kickboxing bouts that will go down on that card. Outside of It's Showtime, no one else in the world can put together such a blockbuster kickboxing card.
There has been a new bout announced featuring two names that kickboxing fans know very well; Chalid "Die Faust" Arrab and Zabit Samedov. Die Faust won the K-1 Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2006 and holds big career wins over Musashi and Gary Goodridge. Zabit Samedov has a 72-10 kickboxing career and has decided to take the plunge into MMA, where these two kickboxers will meet. Die Faust has already fought in ten MMA bouts, so in MMA rules, Die Faust is already more experienced and actually holds a submission victory.
This isn't the first time where two world class kickboxers have met in MMA rules, but it should truly be interesting. It is also interesting to note that Zabit Samedov went on record in 2009 claiming that Golden Glory fighters were all "jacked up on steroids" and that fighters like Zimmerman have walked around, publicly doing steroids in the gym, at the time upsetting Golden Glory head honcho Bas Boon.
Add a commentResults from the international kickboxing scene this weekend:
Mike Zambidis took home the title at the W5 Grand Prix event in Moscow, although it wasn't an easy road. In the semi-finals, Enriko Gogokhia provided a tough challenge, taking the fight into the extension round before Zambo could score the decision win. In semi-final #2, Dzhabar Askerov took a decision against William Diender, setting up Zambidis vs. Askerov 2 for the final. The two men once again went to war, and once again it was Zambidis claiming the win via unanimous decision. With that win, Zambidis has won 7 of his last 8, with the only loss coming against Giorgio Petrosyan. Prior to this run, he was on a 2-4 streak, and looked like his days at the top could be finished; it's been great to see the veteran fighter make this resurgence. Also at W5: Vladimir Mineev won over Vitaly Shemetov by doctor stopage at the end of round 1, Alexandr Stetsurenko def. Vasily Tershonok by decision in the extension round, and Roman Mailov def. Ramil Novruzov via decision.
Evolution 23 took place in Australia on Saturday. As always, the Australian Muay Thai show delivered, with a number of exciting fights. In the main event, one of the scene's big names, Bruce "The Preacher" Macfie dropped a unanimous decision to Franki Giorgi. Giorgi had defeated Macfie by stoppage at the last card to set up this rematch, and while the Preacher went the distance this time, reports indicate the result was never in doubt.
Elsewhere in the card there was some controversy in a fight between Eli Madigan and Jason Scerri, which Madigan won. Post-show, Scerri's corner has been very critical of Madigan and Evolution, claiming that when they agreed to the fight, they requested there be no elbows used, as Scerri no longer fights under full Muay Thai rules. According to Scerri's camp at Jabout Gym, both Evolution and Madigan's team agreed to this, however when the fight started, Madigan used numerous elbows to cut open his opponent. Scerri's corner threw in the towel as they felt they were being cheated. Bit of an ugly situation there.
One final note from the show – much credit is due to Glen Purvis, who came in on very short notice to face the tough and experienced Dane Daddy Kool when Dane's original opponent had to bow out. Taking a fight against a fighter at that level on just a few days notice is impressive. Even more impressive? Purvis is only 16 years old. Hats off to him for stepping in there.
Full results from Evolution 23 in the complete entry.
And finally, top Muay Thai fighter Saenchai Sinbi (the former Saenchai Sor Kingstar) was in action in England. Saenchai faced top ranked UK Muay Thai fighter Liam Harrison. Reports say this was an excellent fight with Harrisoin giving it his all, but in the end, Saenchai was too much and took the unanimous decision win. He's now 2-0 against Harrison after a 2009 decision victory. If you're unfamiliar with Saenchai, get to YouTube and check him out – truly one of the most gifted athletes in the world in any combat sports discipline.

A few noteworthy results from this weekend:
Kicking off the weekend was Kings of Kombat 3 in Australia. The show was originally slated to be headlined by Paul Slowinski vs. Peter Graham, but Slowinski had to drop out due to injury and was replaced by Andre Meunier. In the end, it was the K-1 veteran Graham who was victorious, stopping Meunier in the 3rd with leg kicks. The semi-main event was another clash involving K-1 names, as 2010 Oceania GP champ Ben Edwards faced Carter Williams. Edwards took the majority decision in a close fight. One other result from this show - in a fight of great interest to local fans, Steve Moxon defeated Jordan Tai by majority decision in a fight that sounds like a must see. At the show they also announced early details for Kings of Kombat 4 in August: headlining the event will be the rescheduled Slowinski vs. Graham fight, along with a rematch between Edwards and Williams, plus Errol Zimmerman vs. an opponent yet to be determined.
In France, the big event was Explosion Fight Night vol. 3. When this show was announced some time ago, Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee was slated to appear as part of a 4 man tournament, however, Sudsakorn ended up not taking part in the event as the 71kg tournament was cut. In the main event, Aiello Batonon defeated Nonsai Sor Sanyakorn via majority decision. Also on the card, Xavier Bastard won over David Macintosh via unanimous decision, and Hocine Bennoui won a 4 man 65kg Muay Thai tournament.
Finally, a pair of MMA notes from the weekend. In Strikeforce, K-1 veteran Scott Lighty took part in the latest Challengers event. Best known to K-1 fans for his 2005 Vegas Grand Prix run, Lighty has put together impressive 6-1 record since making the switch from K-1 to MMA. However, he hit a bump in the road here as the former kickboxer was soundly defeated by Lorenz Larkin. And in Bellator, the man who upset Andy Souwer, 2010 Shootboxing S-Cup finalist Toby Imada was back to his MMA roots. He was defeated by Patricky Freire via TKO in round 1.

Leroy Kaestner walks away from Marvin Sansaar after ending his night. Kaestner defeated Sansaar via 1st round TKO at Battle at the Bhoele in the Netherlands this past weekend.
For more excellent pictures from the event, visit the MixFight.nl forums.
Add a commentFull results are in for today's It's Showtime Brussels card. In the main event, Karim Bennoui scored a mild upset, defeating Sergio Wielzen for the IS 61kg title via decision. Good, action packed bout here, and with that win Bennoui becomes the second 61kg champ. Sadly, Wielzen's run never seemed to take off - we'll see if the largely unknown Bennoui can bring some recognition to this fledgling division.
Marat Grigorian scored an impressive win over Severiano Rijssel, earning a TKO in the 2nd round. This is exactly the kind of strong showing Grigorian needed as he looks ahead to his IS 73kg title fight with Yohan Lidon in May.
In the opening bout, Evgeniy Kurovskoy was victorious via unanimous decision against Andre Grigorian. As we mentioned earlier today, Kurovskoy is entered in the huge IS 70kg tournament coming out of Russia in July. That tournament is absolutely stacked, and Kurovskoy will come in the heavy underdog, but it's good to see him get the win here against a very capable opponent.
Complete results are below, and we'll have more analysis and fall out in the coming days.
Evgeniy Kurovskoy def. Andre Grigorian, Unanimous Decision
Andy Ristie def. Nick Beljaards, KO Rd. 1
Lefterio Perego def. Sonny Dagraed, 4-1 Decision
Marat Grigorian def. Severiano Rijssel, TKO Rd. 2
Sahak Parparyan def. Marco Vlieger, 4-1 Decision
Karim Bennoui def. Sergio Wielzen, 4-1 Decision to win the It's Showtime 61kg World Title

Being the victim of burglary is indeed unnerving. Happened to me & my family at the time (2nd wife, 2 stepdaughters) a couple of times in the same week late in, I believe, 12/87 (so during the height of the holiday season -- how festive!). Adding insult to injury, one of the break-ins -- through a patio door that was really hard to secure till we had an extra lock installed afterward -- occurred while we were a couple of counties away at a funeral, either for my wife's grandmother or her uncle, who killed himself a few days after his mother's death. *sigh* The perpetrator lived not far away & had been over visiting the youngest daughter, it turned out. He was identified because he used my wife's stolen Discovery card at the Radio Shack a couple of miles away from us; we're not talking about a criminal mastermind here. Ultimately, he wasn't charged in connection with our stolen possessions (jewelry, my ghetto blaster, an antique wooden box of silverware from one of my grandmother), though he went to prison for similar stuff.
I have to say, being a victim of something like that was a bit of an eye-opener for me, simply because of how relatively blase covering countless criminal trials as a newspaper reporter had made me.

CD/LP/Track Review
Derek Sherinian: Inertia
Mission: Create killer follow-up release to monster-kewl Universe effort. Induce sales and demonstrate staying power.
Mission crew: Derek crazy-keys-man Sherinian, Steve sounds-like-Jeff-Beck-fusion-era Lukathier, Simon oh-yeah-that-drums-guy Phillips, are teamed with three assorted heavy-weight-fusionjazzrock-bass-playing monsters TKennedy-n-TFranklin-n-JJohnson. Also add brief shots of fusion fiddle by Jerry The-Flock-Mahavishnu-Ork-Dregs Goodman and kick-out-the-jams tube-screamin' axe-work by Wylde-man Zakk.
Final analysis: Ten varied tracks of in-your-face fusionoid rockers and mean-edged jazzers are achieved. Mellow moments are included. Lukathier echoes the Beckian atmospherix of There and Back while Sherinian attacks keys in a visciously precise Jan Hammerian way, as in the Black Sheep "Jetstream" Hendrixian-fusion-synth rock mode. All done very well. Success. A nod to Edgar Winter Group's "Frankenstein" is featured but without extended UFO-landing adagio. Interesting. Many echoes of Sherinian's Universe release appear in bridges and refrains but sustained intensity of Donati drum-mania not noted. Lukathier and Wylde sound more like JBeck and NZaza respectively than Holdsworth, Henderson, or Connors. This means more of an instrumental rock metalloid cast is evident vs. a clear-cut jazz rock fusion sheen. Still the jazz does shine through clearly on Mingus' "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" with Lukathier's fretwork sounding like Jeff Beck's soloing on "The Final Peace" from There and Back. In many ways the feel here is also a perfect mirror of John McLaughlin's approach to that olde blue-fusion song "New York on my Mind". I wished Goodman was featured on that cut. It soon begins to get very soulfully blues-rocking in the solo-laden mid-section and that jazz feel is buried until the ending. Tremors of U.K. LIVE come in clearly on "Rhapsody In Black" evoking nostalgic visions of "Night after Night" sans Wettonesgue angsty psuedo-opera-vox thank goodness.
Post-analysis thoughts: This mission has produced intense jams but not as intense and overwhelming as Sherinian's prior Universe creation. If this was an approach towards new directions for Sherinian's music, he has produced a fine album. But this reviewer would like to see Sherinian approach some of the more well-known jazz rock fusion guitarists and create a monster that will overshadow all of his past admirable solo efforts. He is poised now to do just that. But will it happen? I hope so. The time and the talent are ripe for this to happen.
End transmission.

50 Cent Launches G Note Records, Hot Rod Flagship Artist
50 Cent launches a new label, and Hot Rod will serve as its first signee.
With the public departure of The Game and Young Buck, 50 Cent and G-Unit have kept things relatively minimal with regard to expansion in recent years.
Now, 50 Cent has taken a step back towards being proactive, announcing the development of a new subsidiary label, G Note Records.
The label's flagship artist will be Hot Rod, a rapper who was signed to G-Unit in 2006. "@officialhotrod is the first artist of G NOTE he gonna do his numbers watch," tweeted 50 Cent (@50Cent).
The Arizona rapper's style, which in 2006 was more in line with G-Unit's at the time, is now more dance-pop now. His lead single, "Dance With Me," is on iTunes.

My response was to your quote above: >>>I do think they are "unnatural" from the search engines' perspective. They want links to be a kind of vote for the site being linked to. and not the original post of this thread. You said recips are "unnatural" because engines want links to be a vote. My point is that recips are indeed a natural occurence (though they may not be *used* naturally by all) and have been around since before the algorithms. The engines know recips are a natural part of Internet life. I think they're smart enough to try and devalue only those recips they see as trying to game the system.
>>>No kidding. The thread is titled "Your New Link Strategy." The question is what kind of links are ideal as a strategy in light of the Jagger update at Google.

Protection for Paris
As promised, I present you – completely in the "Dude, you better take care of yourself" spirit of Movember – the first of some skin care products I'm testing.
I took the Weleda Intensive Cream for Men with me for my weekend in Paris. The perfect moment to check if it helps my skin in various surroundings. I constantly switched between the unstable Parisian weather with metropolitan air and warm restaurants, museums and shops.
Result? The product kept the dry skin underneath my eyes moisturized and less red. Especially about one hour after I had applied the cream my skin felt softer.
I think it has a quite herbal scent. At first it's a bit too strong, but after some minutes that wears off and it becomes quite refreshing.
My only problem: the packaging wasn't travel-proof, or at least not Vincent-proof. The metal tube got a leak in my bag, which earned me 10 minutes of cleaning. I know I'm not handling my bag too softly, but it shouldn't have happened anyway, I guess.
My final conclusion: a nice cream which gives a moisturizing and refreshing experience, with the side-note to myself that I'll keep it safely in the bathroom.
Don't forget to join the Movember cause at http://mobro.co/strutterview and help prostate cancer research by sponsoring my moustache!

From the Chronicle Kitchen:
Chicken and Egg
7.27.11 | Janice Cole | Food and Drink, Guest Authors, Weekly Recipes
I'm delighted that Janice Cole has agreed to be a guest blogger for us once again.
Have you thought about raising chickens in your suburban or urban outdoor space? Are super fresh eggs REALLY as amazing as everyone says? Do you agree with Thomas Keller that roast chicken is the perfect food (and would you agree with Thomas that it would be your last meal on earth)?
We'll be giving away a copy of Chicken and Egg to one lucky person selected at random from the comments next Wednesday, August 3.
It's been the summer of wacky weather in many places across the country, including here in Minnesota where we've already had heat indexes of 115ºF, with more heat predicted in the coming days. Not only does heat of that magnitude affect us but it also can be harmful to our pets, particularly my four chickens who can't sprawl in an air-conditioned house like our cats or the neighbor's dogs. Instead, they are left to hide under my big-leafed hostas and hydrangea bushes desperately seeking shade and cool moist soil.
Chickens wear a coat of thick downy feathers and don't have sweat glands, so they feel the heat more acutely than some animals. In fact, it can be more important and often more difficult to keep chickens cool in the summer than warm enough in the winter. They pant like dogs and need a constant source of cool water and yet my chicks shy away from mists of water and haven't yet mastered the knack of wading in a shallow pool of cool water. I do my best to keep them cool but I've learned to expect fewer eggs because they need to conserve their energy for keeping cool.
To keep cool myself in hot weather I try to keep the oven off and rely on the grill. One of my favorite hot summer recipes is Garlicky Butterflied Chicken. This flat-grilled whole chicken with only six ingredients is a snap to make. (Yes, I still eat and enjoy chicken, although I don't eat my own chickens as they're kept just for eggs and are treated like pets.)
Ask your butcher to remove the backbone so the chicken opens flat like a book. Slather garlic-oil under the skin and over the chicken. If your herbs are taking over your garden as mine are, pick a handful of basil, mint, tarragon, thyme and/or rosemary, then coarsely chop and stuff them under the skin and over the chicken. The chicken is grilled over direct heat resulting in golden brown crispy skin. Serve with your favorite summer salads.
—Janice Cole
Garlicky Butterflied Chicken
When you butterfly a chicken by removing its backbone, you can lay the chicken flat while grilling, so it's all the same thickness. It's the best method for quick, even cooking. The chicken is basted with garlic oil on both sides while it's cooking, producing a heavenly aroma and crackling-crisp skin.
Serves 4
4 large garlic cloves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
One 4-pound chicken, backbone removed
Mash the garlic cloves and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt with the side of a chef's knife, or process in a small food processor, until the garlic and salt form a paste. Transfer to a small bowl and add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, the parsley, pepper, and olive oil. Stir together until blended.
Preheat the grill to medium. Spread the chicken out on a cutting board, breast-side up. Loosen the skin of the chicken over the breast meat and thighs by gently slipping your hand between the skin and the meat to create a pocket, being careful not to tear the skin. Spread a quarter of the garlic mixture under the skin, and spread the remainder over both sides of the chicken.
Grill the chicken, covered, over medium heat or coals for 45 to 50 minutes, turning every 15 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center and the internal temperature of the chicken at the thickest point of the thigh (without touching the bone) registers 175ºF. Remove from the grill, cover loosely with foil, and let sit for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
To carve the chicken, make a diagonal cut below the breast and remove the legs. Cut between the drumsticks and thighs to separate them. Cut the breast in half down the center and cut each breast half in half again crosswise (leaving on the wings), for a total of 8 pieces of chicken.
Purchase Chicken and Egg.

When Opportunity Knocks, Who Answers? New Evidence on College Achievement AwardsJoshua Angrist, Philip Oreopoulos, Tyler Williams
NBER Working Paper No. 16643 We evaluate the effects of academic achievement awards for first and second-year college students on a Canadian commuter campus. The award scheme offered linear cash incentives for course grades above 70. Awards were paid every term. Program participants also had access to peer advising by upperclassmen. Program engagement appears to have been high but overall treatment effects were small. The intervention increased the number of courses graded above 70 and points earned above 70 for second-year students, but there was no significant effect on overall GPA. Results are somewhat stronger for a subsample that correctly described the program rules. We argue that these results fit in with an emerging picture of mostly modest effects for cash award programs of this type at the post-secondary level.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Lawmakers returning this week from their spring recess face fast-approaching deadlines for several critical decisions.
They will soon need to decide whether to make deeper cuts to social welfare programs, reform the public employee pension system and approve borrowing for high-speed rail.
Gov. Jerry Brown is expected to ask the Legislature to appropriate more than $2 billion to build the nation's first high-speed rail system. Construction could begin later this year.
Lawmakers, who reconvene Monday, also will start considering their budget options in earnest as the state faces a $9.2 billion deficit. Democrats have balked at Brown's initial proposal for the coming fiscal year, which calls for billions more in social service cuts.
Democrats and Republicans already have begun clashing over whether to approve the Democratic governor's pension reforms.

Post-hype Hope: Travis Snider
Snider smacked a home run in his first at-bat of Thursday night's game. It would prove to be his only at-bat of the game. Las Vegas batted around in the second inning, an inning in which Snider lead off, but Snider found himself lifted for pinch hitter Moises Sierra. The home run was Snider's third in the last two days, as he drilled two on Wednesday night as part of a 4-for-5 effort. This is the type of scorching play that leads to speculation of a decision to promote Snider coming down from the top. As of writing this, nothing has come out whether that's the case or not, but it is fun to think about, and reasonable to speculate on. Snider is clobbering the ball this year, hitting .285/.423/.598 after adding in 246 plate appearances if you include Thursday night's blast. Power has rarely come into question when discussing Snider. Even amidst his struggles in the show, he showcased his power at times. In 2010 he hit 14 home runs in 319 plate appearances, which helped him sport a very good .208 isolated slugging (ISO). Unfortunately, he was unable to follow up his 2010 power display last year. He struggled mightily, and would end up tallying more plate appearances in the minors than the majors.
One criticism regularly directed at Snider was that he had a poor approach, not walking often enough, and striking out too much. His improvements to both rates are very promising, and provide hope that he may be able to make the most of his next opportunity in the bigs. He has worked walks at a robust 13.8 percent clip, and is striking out in just 17.1 percent of his plate appearances. Can these changes stick in the majors? Perhaps they can. While it feels like Snider has been around forever, he's only 24 years old. To put that in perspective, Jason Kipnis and Desmond Jennings are 25 years old. It's too early to give up on Snider. Owners in AL-only leagues and large mixed leagues starting five outfielders and bench flexibility should add Snider and see what comes of him being pulled from Thursday's game.

Proposed U.S. FPV Guidelines - Max Range
These threads are to poll U.S. FPV pilots on recommended guidelines for submission to the ARC which has been given authorization by FAA to prepare guidelines for small unmanned aerial vehicles.
This link will provide the background of how and why ARC was formed and its agenda. http://tinyurl.com/5svend The following link is to the FAA Interim Operational Approval For Unmanned Aircraft that was issued in March of this year. http://tinyurl.com/6lufmu While this document does not effect hobbyists and amateur model aircraft users when operating systems for sport and recreation if does provide good feel for the issues they are focusing on such as spotters, operating range, etc. We can expect that these same issues may also be considered in formulating changes to AC91-57. After polling is complete these main guidelines will be supplemented with additional secondary requirements from pilot input received. In answering these question please remember the reply should not reflect what you would like if were your decision but what is reasonable and has a chance to be accepted by the rule makers.The poll will end in 30 days. Thanks! |

A comment for those who want unlimited distance.
Wait until the first time you lose a plane, even in conditions of perfect safety. Unlimited distance should be reserved for planes with some sort of GPS homing failsafe. Having had one flyaway in high winds I feel qualified to make this comment. Remember, I told you so! Pete |

Just a quick two-cents.
In areas where unlimited range is a reasonable thing maybe a return to home failsafe might be a good idea. Aside from safety concerns, it would be almost impossible to FIND a missing airplane that goes down out of sight, with no final video and no GPS reading. Look at Steve Fosset as an example. True he was much further away from his starting point than we would be, but he was in a full sized light plane and hundreds of people were looking for him from the air for many days. Aside from wanting to explore and video tape an interesting area I can see no reason to fly far away just for the sake of saying you did it. Pete |

Cross country flying sure is fun, but the majority of airplanes don't have the stamina (battery life) to go much further than about ~10-miles out, as you need to consider that you have to fly back as well. Cheers, Sander. |

Gary, am I to believe that you assume all r/c pilots are without any common sense at all? These guidelines are better suited for those without any common sense and they shut out the flyers who do excercise good common sense and a very basic understanding of logic. This kind of suggestive activity is very narrow minded. I have large, heavy,not so fast, machines that use turbines. Who are you to imply that I'd be more dangerous than the guy with an easy star, which I have as well? Why would you want to shut the door on the guy that's still learning and keep him inside your little fenced in area? I'm all about SAFETY through common sense and due diligence. Where's your head at?

"Captured" represents the first nibble of Shout!, a simmering, smoke-filled paean to the helplessness of true love — complete with a heart-rending vocal and a searching turn on the guitar. After four years away from studio work, there couldn't be a more appropriate — or yearningly complex — return for Matt Abts, Jorgen Carlsson, Danny Louis and Haynes.
As for the second disc on Shout!, due September 24, 2013 as Gov't Mule's debut on Blue Note Records, look for Jim James of My Morning Jacket to weigh in with a rendition of "Captured." Elsewhere, guests include Dr. John ("Stoop So Low"), Glenn Hughes ("No Reward"), Dave Matthews ("Forsaken Savior) and Steve Winwood ("When The World Gets Small"), among others.
The busy Haynes will be touring with Gov't Mule in September, even while making appearances as part of the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration and with the Allman Brothers Band, with whom he's played since 1989.

The Iglesia de la Merced, built where the first Mass in Lima was celebrated, has a history of destruction and reconstruction. Originally built in 1534, La Merced was determined to be too small and a larger version was erected. It was then torn down and rebuilt in 1628. In 1687 the church was destroyed by an earthquake and again rebuilt. It was later damaged in the big quake of 1746 and gutted by a fire in 1773.The Church of La Merced which stands today was completed in the late 1700s and has an ornate baroque colonial façade. In particular, you should note the ornate columns, which are wrapped with carved grapevines. Because it is situated in the centre of the commercial area, it is one of the most well-known churches in Lima. If you are walking the pedestrian street, you must go inside. Followers of Padre Urraca can be seen each day as they come to La Merced to honor this 17th Century priest.The church has a portal which is a masterpiece carved in granite brought from Panama, with bent columns of Baroque style. The roof of the church is elegantly decorated with figures made of plaster. In the interior of the church is an ornate main altar in the neoclassical style which is dominated by the figures of the Virgin of Merced and a carving of Saint Michael the Archangel. Another highlight is the chapel of Friar Pedro Urraca that contains a roughly carved wooden cross which, according to legend, he used to escape from a demon.This church is an excellent example of the splendour of Spanish colonial architecture. The church is filled with works of art, such as the main altar dedicated to the Virgen de las Mercedes, patron saint of the Peruvian armed forces, and a beautiful sacristy decorated with Arabesque tiles. La Merced houses one of the finest collections of colonial oil paintings and carvings in Lima. I recommend it to everyone.

Jun21 life ballstudy abroadmicah fieldsviennaaids life Earlier this week, we posted a Storify on Campbell.edu that looked at the summer plans for some of our students at Campbell University. We got an update from one of our students today. As part of Campbell University's study-abroad program, Micah Fields, a senior voice major, finished a semester at Salzburg College in Vienna today. Now, he's off to backpack through Europe for two weeks before completing a three-week program in German language at the University of Vienna. During his semester at Salzburg College, Fields attended the Life Ball, a huge charity event in Austria organized by the nonprofit AIDS LIFE that draws high-profile individuals such as Bill Clinton. The images above are of Micah at the Life Ball. He's the one in green. The screenshot is from a video that AIDS LIFE produced as a highlight reel of this year's Life Ball. Permalink

This makes me happy I stayed with my grandfathered in unlimited data. I'll be signing another contract with AT&T. We have LTE all around me, I can't remember the last time I used FaceTime (though I do think it's ridiculous that they're disallowing it), and I was lucky enough to get the HandyLight tethering app when it was first released, so I don't even have to jailbreak for those times I do need to tether.
I'm a happy woman tonight.

They certainly don't inspire much in the way of consumer brand loyalty... Apple makes an awesome set of products. AT&T has screwed it up. Bottom line. Just the other day I was driving in unfamiliar territory, like I do for work often, and was using the maps app... When suddenly the map wouldn't load and I was completely lost. Throttled on the spot. Full bars, and it was taking so long to load my location I just quit and had to ask directions... That shouldn't happen if I pay for a service, one which I am clearly not provided. Had that been my wife in the car with my 6 month old son in the car having to pull over for directions, I would have been livid. Just because I was grandfathered in and don't pay as much as you for my data does not mean that I am less of a customer... I would like to see AT&T treat long term customers as something of a financial asset... Which will never happen. Sad. ---------- Quote:

Investigate a navigation App that stores all its mapping data in the iPhone's internal storage, such as TomTom. That way, even when your Internet is connection unexpectedly throttled back (or, alternately, when you happen to drive into an area where cellular coverage is spotty no matter where you sit in your throttling schedule) you'll still be able to get reasonably accurate mapping information. |

Or would it be something that is still capable of performing a reasonable minimal set useful tasks? Throttling back to something like 200Kbit/s would still allow you to check your email, load live maps for navigation purposes, check out Wikipedia, etc. On the other hand, throttling back to 56Kbit/s would make most every-day activities impractical, often to the point of being effectively useless. |

Actually for ATT that was a big move to let us keep unlimited. The face time decision is stupid, but like you I don't use it and there is Skype which sidesteps that easily. ---------- Usually for $ 50 when there is enough supply.

SWEET! I can't believe I'm happy about this, but I'll take what I can get. Don't facetime that much outside of wifi anyway and 5G should be enough for me.

When they throttle 3G it goes from (let's say) 5 Mbps to 0.5 Mbps. When they throttle LTE does it go down to 5 or down to 0.5? We'll have to wait and see. No matter what evidence people have now with other phones doesn't matter since we know every carrier treats the iPhone as a special case with its own rules. |

According to the Wall Street Journal you don't have to be on a special plan with Verizon to use FaceTime but it's only at 3G speeds not LTE speeds. I have a feeling unless you live in great high speed 3G area FaceTime with another person on the network will be so stuttering and spotty it will almost make having it worthless. Then Verizon will say for $10-15 a month you can have LTE in your area to fix it. lol At least with ATT you do get the LTE option for your money. I'm out of contract next month, but I'm just going to hold out until the Iphone 5s comes out and all the LTE pricing calms down a bit.

I wouldn't have a problem if it was smart throttling.
Like, ok, this is peak time, slow his data down 50% of the guy paying full price. Ok, slow time, he has full use. But no, it's like, you hit 5GB and it is unusable until the month cycle ends at all times. I assume that is how they do it now. The easy method I guess. |

so, ATT still KEEPS unlimited data and allows LTE...Verizon Does Not and people are still pissed at ATT?
and facetime over 3G, though somewhat exciting, can't be too great. i was in Palo Alto months back trying to Skype over 3G and it was horrible. |

Not a day goes by that someone doesn't ask me when I am going to post again. I am humbled to know how much you all have been missing me. I assure you, my absence has been for nothing but good reasons; life is awesome and I am loving living!
As many of you already know, I have gotten my life entangled with that of a younger man. That intake of air you just took means you interpreted that in the wrong way. I have been blessed and honored with the opportunity to help an amazing musician (Jason Dunn) grow his solo career. Scott has taken a very supportive and integral role in this and has been such an amazing partner for me. On top of this, I have had the opportunity to work with an amazing group of students in the local Donate Life groups in our area. They have passion and drive and are making me so proud in all that they are accomplishing in their school. Hannah has been home sick for almost two weeks with Mono. Thankfully, after two months of unexplained illness, we finally have a diagnosis and she is starting to actually feel better. She is in 8th grade this year and keeps me busy. She has become very passionate about singing and will be attending an awesome Christian Music Camp this summer, Camp Electric, where she will take vocal lessons from some of her favorite artists. Did I mention she will be travelling to Nashville, TN for this camp (all by herself!!!). My baby is growing up. This is the time of year when I get sick and stay sick. Right now I have a nasty cold, so I have been trying to really lay low this week to recover from this. I have a very special prayer request for all of you. My dear friend and former Adult CF Nurse was put on the list today for a double lung transplant. Jeanne has assisted many CF patients to get the gift of new life, now it is her turn. No one deserves it more! Please keep her in your prayers for a quick and successful transplant. As always, please also give her future donor your prayers as well! I haven't forgotten any of you, I have just been too busy living to spend too much time writing. I have been greatly blessed and I send my love and prayers to all of you! Nancy |

I saw the beginnings of this fandom and it was just people thinking "The Once-ler is so cute, right?" Then it kind of snowballed out of control to "How many different personas of this ONE SINGLE character can we create? What? Did you say a BILLION TRILLION? Let's do that." Are you kidding me? He was cute and now he's everything. Stop ripping the character apart into tiny pieces.

Upper East Side Townhouse Tries For Twice The Price
After the recent buying spree that's been sweeping the city's finest properties of late, the owners of 122 East 70th Street are apparently hoping to get lucky . Very, very lucky.
David and Sarah Edelstein (alas, this is not film critic David Edelstein, although excuse us for a moment while we fantasize about journalists living in $20 million townhouses) are asking a rather brazen $24.2 million for their elevatored townhouse, which they bought for just $12 million in 2010.Where do they think they live? 15 CPW?
Who knows? With the way properties have been selling lately, the Edelsteins may just get it. Still, it's unclear what exactly justifies the big price jump. Maybe they Edelsteins are just trying to keep the neighbors happy? After all, the former owners outraged the block's snooty denizens in 2010 when they dropped the $20 million ask to $14.9 million before finally handing it off to the Edelsteins for a mere $12 million.

Learn how to use breast pumps, breast shells, and nipple shields when breastfeeding your baby.
How do I use breast pumps, breast shells, and nipple shields? Once you've finished breastfeeding, you may want to pump to remove any access breast milk. Talk with your nurse or lactation consultant on how to find an adequately fitting pump. This is a double breast pump. It will press both breasts at the same time, cutting your pump time in half. What's important to note is the flange size. You want to make sure that it's the correct size for your nipple, so that your nipple is not rubbing up against this part of the flange when you are pumping. You are going to center your nipples in the flange and lean forward. This will help the milk to flow down into the bottles. The pressure is regulated on the pump by a switch. You don't want the pressure to be too high, otherwise it will cause damage to your nipple or to your breast. You want the pressure to be just high enough that your nipple goes in and out of this comfortably without any discomfort. If you've been pumping wrong or the baby has not been latching right, you may have sore nipples. There are a couple of different things you can use. Breast shells fit in your bra over top of your nipple and you put them in before the feedings. They help keep the pressure of the bra off your nipple and keep the pressure from causing pain. They are also good if you are engorged, it helps pull the fluid back into your breast and away from your nipple, producing a better nipple for the baby to latch on to. The last thing I am going to show you is called the Nipple Shield. So silicone form that fits over your nipple and allows the baby to have something more to grasp, if you have flat nipples, or it also takes away the pain if you have sore nipples, the baby is grasping onto that more than onto your nipple. It will reduce the pain. All of these products are readily available. However, if you have a plan to use them, you should talk with your healthcare professional or lactation consultant. They all come with potential side-effects and risks.

LINK So this year is turning out to be the same kind of disappointment that the last 50 years have been. Cry me a freakin' river. Greatness doesn't come without its share of heartaches. So we've experienced more heartaches than most everyone else. That should only make the vanquishing of the demons coming 3-5 years from now all the more sweeter. Pardon the cliche, but Rome was built over hundreds of years, and traditions at programs such as USC, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, and even Iowa were built with decades of work. Yet we expect Chizik to turn decades of losing and mental conditioning of how to react in his first season without a full recruiting class and create a winner in year one. Chizik is obviously still dealing with the lack of talent at critical positions, talent that's not suited to the system that he runs, and the mentality of "mediocre is good enough" that just may not be done away with until all of the players that McCarney brought into the system are gone. This thread has not only thrown Chizik and all the work that he's done in the last 10 months under the bus, but you've also gone and thrown Pollard under there as well for exhibiting the very attitude that he is deemed is a cancer in the fanbase and is working his *** off to change it. What the hell is wrong with us?

Like I said 13 plays that were caused by mental errors are the fine line between being 4-0 and 1-3. Overall the team is playing well, but eliminate the mental errors (see iowa game) and we are a pretty decent team. Yes I know wins and losses are what counts but when you are judging whether or not the team is better as a whole you need to look deeper than that.
