Holding Pattern
-1 Corinthians 5:1-5
There have been other times in my life that I have felt this way.
In January 2007, I was living with the nicest Italian girl, Milania, in Baltimore. I was a full-time writer/marketer for my magazine, was picking up shifts per diem at a local psychiatric hospital, and had just been offered my first book deal. I was advancing in my career and was relatively happy with the progress that I was making.
But, I wanted more.
My family is a huge proponent of education and it is just not acceptable, in their eyes, to not attend graduate school. With this in mind, I had applied to Master's in Fine Arts programs. Milania was a graduate student and was about to finish her occupational therapy program and look for a full-time job. I was fairly certain that I was going to get into graduate school, so we both figured that we'd be parting ways soon. When our lease renewal arrived that January, we only signed for another six months, with this in mind.
My editor at the magazine had written me a sparkling recommendation letter for graduate school. And when he called me into his office a few months later to have "the talk" about my anticipated departure, with my marketing director present, I wasn't surprised. My editor adored me, though. There were laughs and hugs, and we agreed on good terms, that I'd be resigning that summer to start graduate school.
Then, two months later, the MFA rejection letters started pouring in. Everyone was stunned.
My editor said he didn't know what more I could have done; my mother told me that I was obviously overqualified; my roommate said that the timing must have been wrong. All of a sudden, though, I realized that in a few months, I'd have no job, no place to live, and no back up plan. I started panicking.
My life's aspiration was to attend medical school, but a combination of health problems and discouragement from the pre-medical advisors at my school had shattered that dream long ago. Being a writer had started out as being just a backup plan. Thankfully, it had worked out well up until that point, and I had been happy. But, was I doomed to be a columnist, with no chance of advancing to editor, for my whole life?
What do you do when your backup plan fails?
I started aggressively researching Ph.D. programs in Psychology—the backup plan to the backup plan. All of their deadlines for application had already passed, though. Even if they hadn't, I hadn't taken my GREs because the MFA programs I had applied to didn't require them. My self-esteem had been so annihilated at the very prestigious research school where I went to college that I didn't even dare look at post-baccalaureate pre-medical programs. Even though I had attended college on a full academic scholarship, I had been told so many times that I just "wasn't medical school material" that I believed it.
Desperation drives us to new lows, though, so I hastily started researching post-baccalaureate programs. It was March, by this time, so most of the deadlines had already passed.
Obviously, a more pressing concern was making sure that I had a job, so when I asked my boss if he had replaced me yet, he didn't even try to conceal his glee. Not only had they not found a replacement, but they hadn't even started looking yet. It was as if my job had never been in jeopardy at all. My roommate also comforted me by declaring that she wanted to keep living together. But, she was tired of having to troll for street parking in the city at night and wanted me to move to a Baltimore suburb with her.
In the midst of all of this, the only post-baccalaureate program still accepting applications was in Washington, DC. Even though I lived in Baltimore, I figured that I could feasibly make the drive from where Milania and were moving. Realistically, I was pretty sure that I wouldn't get in anyway. As mentioned, I hadn't taken my GREs and the only thing I had working in my favor was the ability to write a decent admission essay. (Also see earlier statement about self-esteem being annihilated.)
Still, I wrote out my application quickly and decided to mail it the same day. On my way to the post office, though, a strange sense of urgency overtook me and I found myself driving towards I-95 instead. I texted my roommate to let her know that I hadn't gone missing (a valid concern for two single women living in Baltimore) and she texted back that although I was crazy to drive 50 miles on a whim, I should go for it. On the way to DC, I called a high school friend who was working at the NIH in Bethesda, and he said to swing by and get him, because he wanted to go with me to hand-deliver my application.
When I got to the university, I asked a friendly girl on campus where the science buildings were. Even though it was after hours, the building whose name I had addressed my application to was unlocked. After finding the faculty mailboxes, my friend commented that it looked like the admission person's mailbox hadn't been checked in weeks.
"Let's find his office and slide it under the door," he suggested.
So, like stalkers in the chemistry building, we found the building's directory, found the admission director's office and shoved the 8 ½" x 11 envelope into the door jamb. There was no way he'd even be able to open the door the next morning without touching my application.
(I should note that this same friend is now in an M.D./Ph.D. program at an extremely prestigious university and always wanted me to go to medical school too…not that you couldn't surmise that from his role in this little escapade).
Two days after my impromptu trip to DC, I flew to California for a 10 day marketing trip. It was while I was in California that I received an email acceptance from the post-baccalaureate program, a mere six days after dropping off my application. To make things more interesting, they had accepted me for the summer session and classes were starting in two weeks. (The school had a rolling admissions policy, so they could have accepted me for a later semester, technically). I wouldn't realize how miraculous this occurrence was until after starting my program, when the other students told me that it had taken them months to get accepted. More importantly, though, the director of the program was in his late 70's and hated email. He never responded to my emails as a student and I still don't know why he chose to email me my acceptance, instead of sending an acceptance package by mail, like he did for everyone else.
Since I was in California when I received the surprising news, I didn't know how I'd register for classes in time, since post-baccalaureate students were required to meet with an advisor who registered for them. (I don't know, this school had weird rules.) I called the university and explained my dilemma, as well as time constraints. The director of the program allowed me to register over the phone and waived the deposit usually required.
Overall, the acceptance was great news, if not surprising, and everything was falling into place! Except…remember how I had just gone back to my boss after resigning, and then asked for my job back? How could I possibly go back, within the span of a month, and resign a second time? I couldn't. And thus began what we'll call the "worst idea ever:" working full-time while also completing a post-baccalaureate program full-time.
After telling my boss about my acceptance, I assured him that I wouldn't leave. I kept working, including attending all of my scheduled marketing trips, and the night before classes started, I flew home late from Birmingham. The next morning, I left my apartment at 6:30 a.m., as part of the second worst idea ever: commuting from Baltimore to DC for class. The approximate time that it took me to drive each way was 2 ½ hours, because of traffic.
Somehow, the work/school combination didn't kill me and 10 weeks later, when my lease expired, Milania moved to the suburb she had been eyeing and I moved into a basement apartment 10 minutes outside of DC. Thankfully, because most of my work didn't require me to be in the office, my bosses (editor and marketing director) allowed me to work from home and to schedule marketing trips when I had breaks from school. I also still kept some of my per diem shifts at the hospital, because I needed the money.
Unlike with my attempts at MFA programs, a year after starting my post-baccalaureate program, I took my MCATs, applied to medical school, went on eight of my nine interviews, and received three acceptances before withdrawing the remainder of my applications. "Not medical school material," indeed. Don't go to prestigious research universities, guys.
Before this unexpected turn of events in 2007, though, I remember feeling awful. I was so sure that the reason that things had gone so awry with my medical aspirations was because God wanted me to be a writer—which was fine. I was happy with doing that and I was making the appropriate decisions regarding that, but I felt unsatisfied. I used to pray every night, "God, I'll be a writer or do whatever I am supposed to do in life, but please take the desire to be a doctor away." When I didn't get into the MFA program, that I was so sure was part of The Life Plan, I remember feeling like life was stuck on pause.
Suddenly, nothing was working out and I didn't know why. I was discouraged, angry, and confused. Eventually, though, I started feeling a quiet fluttering in my heart—like some sort of indication that this was just the calm before the storm.
I remember telling my roommate, after being rejected from MFA programs and before looking into post-baccalaureate programs, that I just felt like something was going to happen. I didn't know what it was or why or when it was going to happen, but in between periods of fear and anxiety about the future, I had a feeling that something big was going to happen. Fast.
When the post-baccalaureate acceptance came on the heels of signing back on with my job and suddenly needing to find a place to live in DC, while being a full-time student again for the first time in years, I was surprisingly ready. I had know that "it"—something I didn't know or understand—was coming and I had been waiting for it.
I wish that I could explain the feeling more articulately, but I can't. Jeremiah 33:3 says that when we call to God, He tells us "great and unsearchable things you [we] do not know." Perhaps that feeling of something "great and unsearchable" is what I'm trying to describe, but there is a steady, confident feeling that something big, that will likely turn your life upside down, is coming.
When this happened in 2007, things were strangely quiet and annoyingly calm.
I tell you this, because I feel like I'm in a similar holding pattern right now. My frustration is centered on my research project, not graduate school, but the feeling is the same. No matter how many emails I send, I keep hitting dead ends. I can't buy the rest of my plane tickets or submit my IRB paperwork or do anything else, because I need to have confirmation from my second host site. No matter how many new people I contact, though; no matter how many times I hit "send;" no matter how many times I refresh my university email account; the answer is just not coming.
And yet, I feel a calm, fluttering of my heart.
I don't know what "it" is, or if it's even related to my project, but that feeling is back. Four years ago, I was terrified and annoyed by not knowing what was going to happen next. Right now, I kind of can't wait.

What a great story!
You're so fortunate to have found such an understanding work environment -- I mean CLEARLY they loved you, I'm positive for good reasons -- that they were flexible with your work schedule.
And forget those stupid pre-med advisors. The year before I got into you-know-where they were telling me that I wasn't med school material. - April 19, 2011 at 5:18 PM

The pre-med advisor at Oberlin looked at me like I was nuts when I visited her. Little did she know, I am nuts.
Thanks for telling your story. I have no idea how you did the post-bac while working full-time.
What did you find was the most beneficial thing about doing the post-bac (vs. taking courses "a la carte)? Man. I shouldn't dare ask you that. It will have me yearning for post-bac programs. Advisors, other students in the same situation.. sigh. It makes me want to cry. - April 19, 2011 at 9:43 PM

KC- Glad you liked it! It's funny how certain feelings can evoke long-forgotten memories.
OMDG-Yes! Pre-med advisors are so annoying. If we didn't need that coveted committee letter for medical school, I would have applied without their help. And yes, I was very fortunate to have the job that I did during that time. I remember being exhausted almost all the time, but in retrospect, I saved a TON of loan money by being able to work while I was in school! I also had the frequent flyer miles racked up and waiting by the time interviews rolled around! :)

CL- Aww, sorry to hear that things didn't work out this time! As far as whether or not you reapply again next year, I guess that decision is up to you. Medicine, like any other field, has its ups and down.
And no, I actually only applied to medical school once. I think maybe you're thinking of MCATs? I did take my MCATs twice, but it was all within the same summer. The second time was right after I had submitted my AMCAS.

The hotel is about 10-minute drive away from the duval street. The walk is too far! We spend the first October weekend in Key West. We are long-standing Marriott customers and also have a corresponding Marriott rewards level. We are always satisfied with all Marriott hotels ( Fairfield Inn, town place suites, courtyard, and so forth), see our other reviews. Unfortunately we must here the first time write something negative: we had the hotel on a travel agency and the photos looked very promising. Big room and beautiful balcony. Also the pictures on the Marriott web site, the one on ... the home page of the hotel presented gets - also gorgeous! We had a hotel manager already our room requirement ( pool view, king size bed) to. We were surprised by 1 month, why we any response received, wrote him again and got up to our arrival no answer. The us is so also still not happened, that e-mails are ignored. When we at 23 o'clock arrived, we were already surprised, because the hotel like a motel appears. We checked in and they told us easily unfriendly with, nothing of our desire to know. There was only a king size room with a view of the parking in the 1st floor we had no other desired, as only once this room to take. By car we drove around the hotel on the other side. Below the 1. stocks were parking spaces, above the rooms. These were from the outside for everyone freely accessible over balcony/ hallway. We walked to our provided for room and our mood took us quite fast: the room was tiny and totally run-down! We had luggage for 4 weeks for everyone. At the same time a' wonderful' view on the parking, with driving by cars. Silent it is not, if under the room cars guest parking. We went back to the front desk and said, that we a room with a pool view and this room not acceptable for us. The only free room with a pool view was a room two queen -beds. As a small apology we got 2 drink vouchers for the bar! Unfortunately was the 2. Room not so, as I on the internet seen. Still so small, window and door freely accessible for everyone from the outside. Bathroom separated: toilet and shower in a tiny room with little light. Washbasin in the room! Hardly place for our suitcase, no wardrobe, only a chest of drawers. A private balcony nothing to see. We asked at the front desk after, where the balcony is? You told us, that this only in suites is included, which was not from the outside accessible. Very pleasant, if you customers with pictures for the best rooms attracts! Luckily we only stayed 2 nights. The beds were uncomfortable and knarzten with every movement. A bed sheet, as well as 3 pillows had stains. We had to sleep separated and from 8 o'clock walked other guests directly at our window over included the cleaning ladies. Volume included! A open the blinds you didn't think, everyone in the room could watch. The breakfast was typical american, available in the open by the pool and good! For the rooms were we with a large, clean and beautiful pool ( the largest hotel pool on Key West) compensated. The loungers were okay, many available and the cocktail bar great! If you have little luggage travels, no high expectations at the room or high price for a suite pay would, then is this hotel ok. For us as a long-standing Marriott customers, the other standards are used to, included lower prices ( we paid in Key West 260 Euro/ 2 nights ), this hotel is not suitable! We will not again come! read hotel review

A nice little hotel. Not centrally located, but very quiet. The rooms in the motel style, but clean and spacious. We spent two nights there spent. Nearby but there are few eating opportunities for shopping. By car to the Duval street is about about 5 to 10 minutes depending on traffic. Park around the hotel (free of charge) are sufficiently given. Wi-Fi included as well as continental breakfast, which by American standards very extensive and delicious.

Fairfield-Inn in Key West, right on the north Roosevelt Boulevard and hard to miss even without a map. To the beach about 3 kilometer, Duval street about five kilometer. Check-INN very friendly and fast. Room with view on the great all pool area. Extremely clean room with a very large shower. Free in room coffee maker and pads. Free coffee also in the lobby. For us an excellent continental breakfast and friendly staff. So far the only motel which we also for longer
Holiday on would recommend abstaining. Furthermore, it is located with 90 euro/room with breakfast over the weekend ... still in order.

Thought I'd start a thread on shows worth seeing this year.
I tend to do the rock up and go for those shows that have less than 30 people and they are just as good as the big headline acts, if not more so as the shows tend to be more interactive with the small audiences.
If you know anyone that enjoys cycling, this show may be of relevance to them:
http://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2012/s ... ben-lomas/
put on the cycling discussion thread given the cycling slant of the show, however mods, feel free to move this to off topic. Cheers

Crazy! I haven't met another Claire before, that's awesome!
I know, I know! Well, good to meet you.
Good to meet you as well.
Well, my first question is what kind of pie are you doing with your family and how do you keep it down to five ingredients? Especially if you're keeping it down to five ingredients.
Apple pie is actually the easier of the pies to keep down to five. Last year I did a ginger pumpkin tart. Pumpkin pie, pecan, pie, apple pie, they all can be done in under five, and I have done them. This year, this thanksgiving special, I think you'll love, I did pecan bars. I took what I did in the pecan pie. And then I though, you know what I love about Thanksgiving? That we eat so much food. But by the end of the meal, after eating an appetizer or two, plus a cocktail, and then getting through this massive dinner, you know, I'm not ready for dessert right away. And I find that most of my guests aren't ready for dessert right away, but they've been there for five hours, and it's like, great, are we all going to sit around and wait another hour? And everybody's tired, everyone's talked out, they've all caught up.
It's funny but when I do Thanksgiving, I invite all of my friends and family up and we do Thanksgiving early. Like way early. Like it was random to have Thanksgiving when we did, but it was a way for me to test a full finished menu. How am I going to serve it? How are my friends and family really going to enjoy this? And this was the first year I did a pecan pie in a bar, so I could gift wrap it and send it home with everybody. It's a shortbread crust, a typical pecan pie filling, and you'll see that there's a lot of ingredients reused: it's a brown sugar/butter short bread crust. Now that brown sugar and butter is reused in the pecan filling. And then that bakes beautifully. It tastes incredible, it's delicious, it's better than just plain pecan pie and the crust is fool proof. Instead of telling people to buy store bought crust, it's finding ways to reinvent crust so people can really make it from scratch and have a fully made from scratch dessert. Look up my ginger pumpkin tart too; that one is delicious. I use those thin Moravian cookies, and thats if you want the more classic, "cut the pie and serve it" dish.
But this pecan bar is delicious, because not only can you do it in advance, you can have them cut into bar shapes in advance. If you want to serve that actually as dessert and have people stay and sit down, you can do that and it's all ready to go. It's literally have those already on a platter in your kitchen, and just bringing those out. So there's really no prep for your dessert. But what I did was I bagged those in those plain cellophane bags and put a ribbon around it, you know, I bagged like three bars in each little bag, and everybody was able to take dessert home with them. And then what I did was cut what was left over in small bites so it was like petit fours of pecan bar, and served that with a cup of coffee. So people got a cup of coffee, they got one bite of pecan pie for dessert, and then they had the bars so that when a few hours had passed you could nibble something again. And if you didn't have thanksgiving at your house you always want something "thanksgiving" in your home, they were able to go and unwrap their bars and actually have a real dessert later. All of my friends who had this dinner with me were texting me a few hours later, saying, "Man, it was so awesome to have this bar at my house, and I just got through nibbling it!" It was funny, about 3 hours after everybody left, I started getting texts from everybody at the same time.
That's hilarious.
Yeah, so it really showed that people were tackling it later in the day, and it was a good thought, so I now realized, rule of thumb, I'm sending everybody home with dessert. It's a good to also kind of move people. Like, "Thanks for coming! Here you go!"
I love that idea. It's so fun that it's dessert and a party favor at the same time.
Exactly, exactly. And a little something for them to have Thanksgiving, food-wise, at their home.
Exactly, you sort of have to beg for the left overs from your friends and hope for the best. Well and I guess my next question sort of ties in with "Dear Food Network." Have you ever had a Thanksgiving crisis? And how did you work through it?
Oh, absolutely. I think that anybody who's ever been in a kitchen has had a crisis at some point. And Thanksgiving for sure, because for some reason, no matter how much we know better, we tend to tackle things that we've never done, and we tend to make it bigger and grander than it really has to be. Because the truth of the matter is, people just want the basics and classics, and we're all so food centric around Thanksgiving we really try to attempt something new and grand. And I did that when I was in high school and I was making my Grandma's green bean casserole for the first time. And I'd never made it before; my Grandma sent me the recipe, and I said, "I want to bring it this year." And the funny thing was, I had been cooking since I was a little girl, and I would watch these shows, and attempt berry muffins from scratch, and for a little girl that's a big feat, especially when it's Martha Stewart's recipe, because that a detailed dish. So I though, "Oh, I'll be able to nail this no problem."
Well, what I didn't do was really read the recipe closely, so what was supposed to be 1/4 cup chopped onions I saw as 1 1/4 cup chopped onions, and I chopped onions for I think and hour, trying to measure out 1 and 1/4 cup chopped onions. It was gross because the onions don't really cook a whole lot, you just sweat them a little bit, and they don't fully cook in the casserole. A little bit of them is nice, but not that much. And it was like raw onion casserole, basically. And this was the one dish my whole family expects to have and I was the one who made it and brought it and it was awful. I was in high school and thought I was so excited to be lucky enough to make a dish for the family. So when it was awful, my Grandma smiled and winked at me and we were sitting at the table and we quickly ran into the kitchen. She actually had made one because she was worried that one casserole wouldn't be enough anyway, but she said, "It doesn't matter," and I never forgot this, she said, "It doesn't matter, there's always enough food. The thing about Thanksgiving is that there's lots of dishes, so if one dish doesn't work, don't you worry." So even though she had made another one and I was grateful because I certainly wanted a green bean casserole, she was absolutely right, and I to this day have never forgotten that and tell people all the time, "Do not worry about a dish going wrong! There's always more food. Thanksgiving isn't a one pot meal, it's lots of different sides. You know, half of the people are there for the sides, and the other half are there for the turkey. No matter what there's always something there that's edible and delicious. So if one dish goes wrong, don't fret."
And there's always pie!
There is always pie! Or, pecan bars in my case.
Well thank you so much, and I hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving!
Thank you! Same to you, happy Thanksgiving!

This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. (See NAS)

Investment managers and other professional investors around the world use Sanford C. Bernstein for its in-depth research on companies, industry research and equity trade execution. In 2009, we also relaunched our equity capital markets business to further serve investors and corporate clients.
AllianceBernstein's Institutional website has for the first time been ranked among the top 10 websites in the industry, placing fourth—just a few hundredths of a point behind third-ranked Fidelity International—in a comprehensive report to be released by industry consultants kasina later this week.
Although highly regarded for the richness of its content, the absence of one-to-one account reporting excluded the AllianceBernstein Institutional site from consideration in previous kasina "Institutional Top 10" lists, which are published every two years. Account reporting was finally added to the site early this year, and will be available to all Institutional clients outside Japan by year-end.
"This is a very significant achievement for the site," says Larry Black, managing director of Online Strategy in Client Communications. "We want to single out the work of Rob Intermont and his web team in IT; Candace Matthews and her team in London, who designed the site and the new reporting area; Jong Park, Peter Casimiro, Andrew Stumacher and the members of the Reporting team; the Institutional writers, brand managers and the many others in Client Communications, Institutional marketing and sales who have contributed to the success of the site."
The Client Communications Online team—which is responsible for the firm's client-facing websites—hopes to build on this success as it develops the new AllianceBernstein.com, which will consolidate the websites into a single destination on the web. The project is scheduled to kick off late next month.
In its report, kasina praises the clarity of the new reporting section of the site. Among the features it notes is the printable Account Summary page, which integrates client-specific data with generic quarterly commentary. It also cites our servicing webcasts and the web-friendly version of our quarterly investment strategy, as well as a feature that allows an advisor or associate to log in as a client.
The prize for the top Institutional site went to Goldman Sachs Asset Management; Pyramis Global Advisors, the institutional asset-management arm of Fidelity, was number two.

Don't poke me
Saudi residents are still vary of the H1N1 vaccine, and many refuse to take part in the massive swine flu immunization campaign launched in the kingdom, reports Arab News.
December 21, 2009 9:28 by Muhammad Humaidan
Saudi Arabia received an unenthusiastic public response to the H1N1 immunization campaign it launched on Saturday, according to an official at the Health Affairs Department in Jeddah.
"Only 31 students turned up for vaccination on Saturday and 25 on Sunday," said Khalaf al-Mutairy, director of a clinic designated to receive students from 40 schools in districts to the east of Jeddah.
The situation in Asir province was also no different. According to one source, only 10 percent of parents in Asir consented to their children taking the vaccine.
Parents have doubts about the effectiveness of the vaccine, and are under the impression that the government authorities are unsure about how safe it is, said a school principal in Abha.
"Why is there a clause in the consent form saying the Ministry of Health or Ministry of Education are not responsible in the event of a serious complication or death occurring after taking the vaccine," said Yahya Subhan, a school principal in Asir. "Parents wonder why the ministries have put that clause in while other vaccinations, such as those administered to a newborn, are void of such clauses," he said.
The worry over side effects is further increased by the fact that the consent forms do not carry the logo of either the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Health, he said.
He also said that the Ministry of Health has rushed the anti-swine flu campaign and not provided schools with the necessary trained staff to handle infections and medical apparatus.

The Honors Senior Project completes your Honors degree. The project is a prized academic milestone, signifying a great amount of research and organization of thought. While the project will serve as a remarkable personal achievement, it will also provide evidence—to graduate school admissions committees, scholarship review boards, and prospective employers—that you have the intellectual maturity to pursue independent academic endeavors.
The Honors College allows each department up to five options for completing the Senior Project, and students should be sure to consult an Honors advisor to learn which options are allowed for their major. All options require a detailed proposal, a substantial written product, and an oral presentation.
Thesis / Creative Activity
This option offers students the opportunity to complete sustained original research, group project, or creative activity. Their work is expected to meet the scholarly standards of the discipline and the Honors College.
Go to the Thesis/Creative Activity option page...
Study Abroad
Students spend at least one semester abroad and negotiate with their major advisor on appropriate coursework that can be applied to their degree. Students submit a final written project that documents their experience and how it applies to their future goals.
Go to the Study Abroad option page...
Students work with a departmental mentor to develop an internship experience consonant with their educational goals.
Go to the Internship option page...
Service Learning
Students work with a departmental mentor to pursue a service learning experience appropriate to their educational goals and professional aspirations.

From the nothing to see here but please don't move along until you've clicked a few links department...
In response to UFC President Dana White's non-denial of rumors that he'd be "talking business" with Brock Lesnar when the former UFC Heavyweight champ comes to Las Vegas for tonight's UFC 168 event, Shane Carwin has taken to Twitter:
@danawhite got an extra ticket for tomorrow night? I'm hearing the bitch that will solve my itch will be there.
— Shane Carwin (@ShaneCarwin) December 27, 2013
Carwin, of course, famously nearly beat Lesnar in their 2010 title fight at UFC 116, dominating Lesnar throughout the first round before gassing and getting choked out in the second round. Carwin only fought one time after the Lesnar loss, taking a brutal unanimous decision loss to future champ Junior dos Santos at UFC 131.
He retired earlier this year.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Microsoft has today announced that it has purchased Nokia's entire devices and services division.
In big news for the mobile industry, the company will purchase Nokia's devices and services business, license Nokia's patents, and license and use Nokia's mapping services.
Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft will pay €3.79 billion (AUD$5.57 billion) for the business, along with €1.65 billion (AUD$2.42 billion) to license Nokia's patents, for a total transaction price of €5.44 billion (AUD$7.99 billion).
Microsoft says it expects to officially close the transaction in the first quarter of 2014, though the purchase is "subject to approval by Nokia's shareholders, regulatory approvals and other conditions."
Microsoft announced the deal today on its official blog, saying the deal "will accelerate the momentum" of Nokia's devices and services.
"Today's agreement will accelerate the momentum of Nokia's devices and services, bringing the world's most innovative smartphones to more people, while continuing to connect the next billion people with Nokia's mobile phone portfolio.""With the commitment and resources of Microsoft to take Nokia's devices and services forward, we can now realize the full potential of the Windows ecosystem, providing the most compelling experiences for people at home, at work and everywhere in between."
Nokia's devices and services business includes the mobile phones and smart devices business units as well as design, operations, production facilities, sales and marketing activities, and related support functions.
As part of the purchase, 32,000 Nokia employees are are expected to transfer to Microsoft, including 4,700 in Finland and 18,300 employees worldwide.
Nokia's current CEO Stephen Elop will step down to become Executive VP of Devices & Services. He will officially join Microsoft when the deal closes to "lead an expanded Devices team".
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

It's nice to see that LeBron hasn't changed at all since winning his 2nd NBA Championship. Yesterday LBJ took to Instagram to post his first video as a 2-time MVP.
Some will call this 14 second video arrogant but those who've seen LeBron over the years will know that it's good natured and just part of his corky personality.
At his core James is just a 28 year old guy having fun and enjoying life.

Kobe Bryant scored 31 points, grabbed seven rebounds and added three assists for the Lakers. Shannon Brown scored 21 points in a reserve role and Pau Gasol had 18 points and 10 rebounds.
