Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Manchurian Candidate meets South Park — Chuck Palahniuk's finest novel since the generation-defining Fight Club.
"Begins here first account of operative me, agent number 67 on arrival Midwestern American airport greater _____ area. Flight _____. Date _____. Priority mission top success to complete. Code name: Operation Havoc." Thus speaks Pygmy, one of a handful of young adults from a totalitarian state sent to the United States, disguised as exchange students, to live with typical American families and blend in, all the while planning an unspecified act of massive terrorism. Palahniuk depicts Midwestern life through the eyes of this thoroughly indoctrinated little killer, who hates us with a passion, in this cunning double-edged satire of an American xenophobia that might, in fact, be completely justified. For Pygmy and his fellow operatives are cooking up something big, something truly awful, that will bring this big dumb country and its fat dumb inhabitants to their knees. Its a comedy. And a romance. Review:"In a time of justifiable concern about terrorism, Palahniuk has written a hilarious novel about an unlikely terrorist cell....[He] leaps over the line of good taste — and lands squarely on his feet." Booklist

The Plugin Internationalization documentation is now located in the Plugin Developer Handbook.
The Theme Internationalization documentation is now located in the Theme Developer Handbook.
Internationalization is the process of developing your plugin so it can easily be translated into other languages. Localization describes the subsequent process of translating an internationalized plugin.Internationalization is often abbreviated as i18n (because there are 18 letters between the i and the n) and localization is abbreviated as l10n (because there are 10 letters between the l and the n.)
Because WordPress is used all over the world, it is a good idea to prepare a WordPress plugin so that it can be easily translated into whatever language is needed. As a developer, you may not have an easy time providing localizations for all your users; You may not speak their language after all. However, any developer can successfully internationalize a theme to allow others to create a localization without the need to modify the source code itself.
WordPress uses the gettext libraries and tools for i18n. Gettext is old and respectable piece of software, widely used in the open-source world.
Here is how it works in few sentences:
If you need to remember one thing: translatable strings are parsed from special function calls in the source-code, they are not obtained at run-time.
Note that if you look online, you'll see the _() function which refers to the native PHP gettext-compliant translation function, but instead with WordPress you should use the __() wordpress-defined PHP function.
If you're translating a plugin or a theme, you'll need to use a text domain to denote all text belonging to that plugin. This increases portability and plays better with already existing WordPress tools. The text domain must match the "slug" of the plugin.
The Text Domain needs to be added to the plugin header. The WordPress should internationalize your plugin or theme meta-data when it displays your plugin in the admin screens:
/* * Plugin Name: My Plugin * Author: Otto * Text Domain: my-plugin */
The text domain is a unique identifier, which makes sure WordPress can distinguish between all loaded translations. If your plugin is a single file called my-plugin.php
or it is contained in a folder called my-plugin
the domain name should be my-plugin
. The text domain name must use dashes and not underscores.
In general, an application may use more than one large logical translatable module and a different MO
file accordingly. A text domain is a handle of each module, which has a different MO
In order to make a string translatable in your application you have to just wrap the original string in a __()
function call:
$hello = __( 'Hello, dear user!', 'my-text-domain' );
If your code should echo the string to the browser, use the _e function instead:
_e( 'Your Ad here', 'my-text-domain' )
The strings for translation are wrapped in a call to one of a set of special functions. The most commonly used one is __()
. It just returns the translation of its argument:
echo '
' . __( 'Blog Options', 'my-text-domain' ) . '
';
Another simple one is _e(), which outputs the translation of its argument. Instead of writing:
echo __( 'Using this option you will make a fortune!', 'my-text-domain' );
you can use the shorter:
_e( 'Using this option you will make a fortune!', 'my-text-domain' );
echo 'We deleted $count spam messages.'
How would you i18n this line? Let's give it a try together:
_e( "We deleted $count spam messages.", 'my-text-domain' );
It won't work! Remember, the strings for translation are extracted from the sources, so the translators will see work on the phrase: "We deleted $count spam messages.". However in the application _e
will be called with an argument like "We deleted 49494 spam messages." and gettext
won't find a suitable translation of this one and will return its argument: "We deleted 49494 spam messages.". Unfortunately, it isn't translated correctly.
The solution is to use the printf
family of functions. Especially helpful are printf and sprintf. Here is what the right solution of the spams count problem will look like:
printf( __( 'We deleted %d spam messages.', 'my-text-domain' ), $count );
Notice that here the string for translation is just the template "We deleted %d spam messages.", which is the same both in the source and at run-time.
If you have more than one placeholder in a string, it is recommended that you use argument swapping. In this case, single quotes (') are mandatory : double quotes (") will tell php to interpret the $s as the s variable, which is not what we want.
printf( __( 'Your city is %1$s, and your zip code is %2$s.', 'my-text-domain' ), $city, $zipcode );
Here the zip code is being displayed after the city name. In some languages displaying the zip code and city in opposite order would be more appropriate. Using %s prefix in the above example, allows for such a case. A translation can thereby be written:
printf( __( 'Your zip code is %2$s, and your city is %1$s.', 'my-text-domain' ), $city, $zipcode );
Including HTML in translatable strings depends on the context. Include HTML if the string is not separated from any text surrounding it. Example of a link (separated from text surrounding it):

 <?php _e( 'Proudly powered by WordPress.', 'my-text-domain' ); ?>

Example of a link in a paragraph (not separated from text surrounding it):

 <?php $url = 'http://example.com'; $link = sprintf( __( 'Check out this link to my website made with WordPress.', 'my-text-domain' ), esc_url( $url ) ); echo $link; ?>

Let's get back to the spams example. What if we delete only one spam? The output will be: We deleted 1 spam messages., which is definitely not correct English, and would certainly be incorrect for many other languages as well.
In WordPress you can use the _n()
printf( _n( 'We deleted one spam message.', 'We deleted %d spam messages.', $count, 'my-text-domain' ), $count );
accepts 4 arguments:
The text domain is the fourth optional parameter. The return value of the functions is the correct translated form, corresponding to the given count.
Sometimes one term is used in several contexts and although it is one and the same word in English it has to be translated differently in other languages. For example the word Post can be used both as a verb (Click here to post your comment) and as a noun (Edit this post). In such cases the _x() function should be used. It is similar to __(), but it has an additional second argument -- the context:
if ( false === $commenttxt ) $commenttxt = _x( 'Comment', 'noun' ); if ( false === $trackbacktxt ) $trackbacktxt = __( 'Trackback' ); if ( false === $pingbacktxt ) $pingbacktxt = __( 'Pingback' ); ... // some other place in the code echo _x( 'Comment', 'column name' );
Using this method in both cases we will get the string Comment for the original version, but the translators will see two Comment strings for translation, each in the different contexts.
The text domain is the third optional parameter:
echo _x( 'Comment', 'column name', 'my-text-domain' );
Note that similarly to __()
, _x()
has an 'echo' version: _ex()
. The previous example could be written as:
_ex( 'Comment', 'column name', 'my-text-domain' );
Use whichever you feel enhances legibility and ease-of-coding.
Do you think translators will know how to translate a string like:
__( 'g:i:s a' )
? In this case you can add a clarifying comment in the source code. It has to start with the words translators:
and to be the last PHP comment before the gettext call. Here is an example:
/* translators: draft saved date format, see http://php.net/date */ $draft_saved_date_format = __( 'g:i:s a' );
By adding a translators:
comment you can write a "personal" message to the translators, so that they know how to deal with the string.
Gettext doesn't like \r
(ASCII code: 13) in translatable strings, so please avoid it and use \n
The empty string is reserved for internal Gettext usage and you must not try to internationalize the empty string. It also doesn't make any sense, because the translators won't see any context.
If you have a valid use-case to internationalize an empty string, add context to both help translators and be in peace with the Gettext system.
Use wp_localize_script()
to add translated strings or other server-side data to a previously enqueued script.
wp_enqueue_script( 'script-handle', … ); wp_localize_script( 'script-handle', 'objectL10n', array( 'speed' => $distance / $time, 'submit' => __( 'Submit', 'my-text-domain' ), ) );
Then in the JavaScript file, corresponding to script-handle
you can use objectL10n.variable
$('#submit').val(objectL10n.submit); $('#speed').val('{speed} km/h'.replace('{speed}', objectL10n.speed));
WordPress 2.8+ uses a new Widget API, that only requires the widget developer to extend the standard widget class and some of its functions. With this API there is no init function. After the widget is coded using the widget()
, form()
, and update()
methods, the widget must be registered. The textdomain is then loaded after the widget is registered.
// register Foo_Widget widget function Foo_Widget_init() { return register_widget( 'Foo_Widget' ); } add_action( 'widgets_init', 'Foo_Widget_init' ); $plugin_dir = basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ); load_plugin_textdomain( 'foo_widget', null, $plugin_dir );
This example registers a widget named Foo_Widget, then sets the plugin directory variable and attempts to load the foo_widget-locale.po file.
Until we gather some WordPress-specific examples, use your time to read the short, but excellent article in the gettext manual. Summarized, it looks like this:
The text domain name is also used to form the name of the MO file with your plugins' translations. You can load them by calling the function load_plugin_textdomain as early as the plugins_loaded action.
load_plugin_textdomain( $domain, $path_from_abspath, $path_from_plugins_folder )
function myplugin_init() { $plugin_dir = basename(dirname(__FILE__)); load_plugin_textdomain( 'my-plugin', false, $plugin_dir ); } add_action('plugins_loaded', 'myplugin_init');
This call tries to load my-plugin-{locale}.mo from your plugin's base directory. The locale is the language code and/or country code you defined in the constant WPLANG in the file wp-config.php. For example, the locale for German is 'de', and the locale for Danish is 'da_DK'. From the code example above the text domain is 'my-plugin' therefore the Danish MO and PO files should be named my-plugin-da_DK.mo and my-plugin-da_DK.po. For more information about language and country codes, see Installing WordPress in Your Language.
For themes the process is surprisingly similar:
Put this call in your functions.php and it will search your theme directory for locale.mo and load it (where locale is the current language, i.e. pt_BR.mo).
Watch Out
Translate meta data
If you add a line like this to your plugin or theme header where the theme or plugin name is, WordPress should internationalize your plugin or theme meta-data when it displays your plugin in the admin screens:
Text Domain: my-text-domain
All the rules from above apply here, but there is one more. The additional rule states that you must add your domain as an argument to every __, _e and __ngettext call, otherwise your translations won't work.
Adding the domain by hand is a burden and that's why you can do it automatically:
php add-textdomain.php -i domain phpfile phpfile ...
After it's done, the domain will be added to all gettext calls in the files.
After the strings are marked in the source files, a gettext utility called xgettext is used to extract the original strings and to build a template translation POT file. Here is an example POT file entry:
#: wp-admin/admin-header.php:49 msgid "Sign Out" msgstr ""
Every translator takes the WordPress POT file and translates the msgstr sections in their own language. The result is a PO file with the same format as a POT, but with translations and some specific headers.
From a translated PO file a MO file is built. This is a binary file which contains all the original strings and their translations in a format suitable for fast translation extraction. The conversion is done using the msgfmt tool.
A typical msgfmt command looks like this: msgfmt -o filename.mo filename.po
If you have a lot of PO files to convert at once, you can run it as a batch. For example, using a bash command:
# Find PO files, process each with msgfmt and rename the result to MO for file in `find . -name "*.po"` ; do msgfmt -o ${file/.po/.mo} $file ; done
You remember the POT file is the one you need to hand to translators, so that they can do their work, don't you?
There are a couple of ways to generate a POT file for your plugin:
If your plugin is registered in the official repository, go to your Admin page there and then click on Continue by the "Generate POT file" section.
Then simply click on Get POT to download the POT file.
If your plugin is not in the repository, you can checkout the WordPress i18n tools directory from SVN (see Using Subversion to learn about SVN) and then run the makepot.php script like this:
php makepot.php wp-plugin your-plugin-directory
You need the gettext (GNU Internationalization utilities) package to be installed in your server before you can run the above command (and you must use svn to check out the wordpress-i18n tools, rather than downloading them from the URL above). After it's finished you should see the POT file in the current directory.
To generate the POT file for a theme, use:
php makepot.php wp-theme your-theme-directory
It is a good idea to offer the POT file along with your plugin or theme, so that translators won't have to ask you specifically about it.
If you use Grunt with your theme or plugin, you can use the grunt-pot plugin by Stephen Harris to generate a POT file. See his site for instructions on integrating it into your project.

The 2012 Mitsubishi i is not only one of the first regular-production electric cars for sale in the U.S. market; for 2012, it's the lowest-priced, fully electric passenger car available to Americans--costing as little as $21,625 after the $7,500 federal tax credit, which is thousands less than the Nissan LEAF. And, at an EPA-rated 112 miles per gallon equivalent, it's not only the most energy-efficient of the few electric cars already on sale but also the most energy-efficient U.S. car regardless of fuel.
The 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, or simply 2012 Mitsubishi i as it's called in North America, is an all-electric minicar and a completely new model for the U.S. The i, which is based on an international-market, gasoline-powered minicar of the same name, is capable of going 62 miles or more on a charge and able to go more than 80 mph. The 5-passenger Mitsubishi i can carry four adults, and it will charge on a standard household (110V) socket, with a 220V installed charger, or (if equipped) with a DC fast-charger.
The 2012 Mitsubishi i will be offered in two different models: the base ES and a premium SE model. Mechanically, the two trims are the same; the i packs a 49-kW (68-horsepower) AC synchronous electric motor and single-speed reduction-gear transmission near the back of this rear-wheel-drive minicar.

Chapter 35) requires that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public an early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB may amend or waive the requirement for public consultation to the extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal law, or substantially interfere with any agency's ability to perform its statutory obligations. The Leader, Regulatory Information Management Group, Office of the Chief Information Officer, publishes that notice containing proposed information collection requests prior to submission of these requests to OMB. Each proposed information collection grouped by office, contains the following: (1) Type of review requested, e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4) Description of the need for, and proposed use of, the information; (5) Respondents and frequency of collection; and (6) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites public comment. The Department of Education is especially interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of information technology. Dated: March 2, 2001. John Tressler, Leader, Regulatory Information Management, Office of the Chief Information Officer. Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services Type of Review: New. Title: Consolidated Data Collection on Students with Disabilities. Frequency: Annually. Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs.

Glutaraldehyde Modified Mica: A New Surface for Atomic Force Microscopy of Chromatin Biophysical Journal, Volume 83, Issue 6, 1 December 2002, Pages 3619-3625 Hongda Wang, Ralph Bash, Jiya G. Yodh, Gordon L. Hager, D. Lohr and Stuart M. Lindsay Abstract We have found that mica surfaces functionalized with aminopropyltriethoxysilane and aldehydes bind chromatin strongly enough to permit stable and reliable solution imaging by atomic force microscopy. The method is highly reproducible, uses very small amounts of material, and is successful even with very light degrees of surface modification. This surface is far superior to the widely used aminopropyltriethoxysilane-derivatized mica surface and permits resolution of structure on the nanometer-scale in an aqueous environment, conditions that are particularly important for chromatin studies. For example, bound nucleosomal arrays demonstrate major structural changes in response to changes in solution conditions, despite their prior fixation (to maintain nucleosome loading) and tethering to the surface with glutaraldehyde. By following individual molecules through a salt titration in a flow-through cell, one can observe significant changes in apparent nucleosome size at lower [salt] and complete loss of DNA from the polynucleosomal array at high salt. The latter result demonstrates that the DNA component in these arrays is not constrained by the tethering. The former result is consistent with the salt-induced loss of histones observed in bulk solution studies of chromatin and demonstrates that even histone components of the nucleosome are somewhat labile in these fixed and tethered arrays. We foresee many important applications for this surface in future atomic force microscopy studies of chromatin. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (476 kb) |
Monte Carlo Simulations of Supercoiled DNAs Confined to a Plane Biophysical Journal, Volume 82, Issue 2, 1 February 2002, Pages 944-962 Bryant S. Fujimoto and J. Michael Schurr Abstract Recent advances in atomic force microscopy (AFM) have enabled researchers to obtain images of supercoiled DNAs deposited on mica surfaces in buffered aqueous milieux. Confining a supercoiled DNA to a plane greatly restricts its configurational freedom, and could conceivably alter certain structural properties, such as its twist and writhe. A program that was originally written to perform Monte Carlo simulations of supercoiled DNAs in solution was modified to include a surface potential. This potential flattens the DNAs to simulate the effect of deposition on a surface. We have simulated transfers of a 3760-basepair supercoiled DNA from solution to a surface in both 161 and 10mM ionic strength. In both cases, the geometric and thermodynamic properties of the supercoiled DNAs on the surface differ significantly from the corresponding quantities in solution. At 161mM ionic strength, the writhe/twist ratio is 1.20–1.33 times larger for DNAs on the surface than for DNAs in solution and significant differences in the radii of gyration are also observed. Simulated surface structures in 161mM ionic strength closely resemble those observed by AFM. Simulated surface structures in 10mM ionic strength are similar to a minority of the structures observed by AFM, but differ from the majority of such structures for unknown reasons. In 161mM ionic strength, the internal energy (excluding the surface potential) decreases substantially as the DNA is confined to the surface. Evidently, supercoiled DNAs in solution are typically deformed farther from the minimum energy configuration than are the corresponding surface-confined DNAs. Nevertheless, the work (ΔAint) done on the internal coordinates, which include uniform rotations at constant configuration, during the transfer is positive and 2.6-fold larger than the decrease in internal energy. The corresponding entropy change is negative, and its contribution to ΔAint is positive and exceeds the decrease in internal energy by 3.6 fold. The work done on the internal coordinates during the solution-to-surface transfer is directed primarily toward reducing their entropy. Evidently, the number of configurations available to the more deformed solution DNA is vastly greater than for the less deformed surface-confined DNA. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (301 kb) |
Visual Analysis of Concerted Cleavage by Type IIF Restriction Enzyme SfiI in Subsecond Time Region Biophysical Journal, Volume 101, Issue 12, 21 December 2011, Pages 2992-2998 Yuki Suzuki, Jamie L. Gilmore, Shige H. Yoshimura, Robert M. Henderson, Yuri L. Lyubchenko and Kunio Takeyasu Abstract Many DNA regulatory factors require communication between distantly separated DNA sites for their activity. The type IIF restriction enzyme SfiI is often used as a model system of site communication. Here, we used fast-scanning atomic force microscopy to monitor the DNA cleavage process with SfiI and the changes in the single SfiI-DNA complex in the presence of either Mg2+ or Ca2+ at a scan rate of 1–2 fps. The increased time resolution allowed us to visualize the concerted cleavage of the protein at two cognate sites. The four termini generated by the cleavage were released in a multistep manner. The high temporal resolution enabled us to visualize the translocation of a DNA strand on a looped complex and intersegmental transfer of the SfiI protein in which swapping of the site is performed without protein dissociation. On the basis of our results, we propose that the SfiI tetramer can remain bound to one of the sites even after cleavage, allowing the other site on the DNA molecule to fill the empty DNA-binding cleft by combining a one-dimensional diffusion-mediated sliding and a segment transfer mechanism.

A procedure for covalent binding of DNA to a functionalized mica substrate is described. The approach is based on photochemical cross-linking of DNA to immobilized psoralen derivatives. A tetrafluorphenyl (TFP) ester of trimethyl psoralen (trioxalen) was synthesized, and the procedure to immobilize it onto a functionalized aminopropyl mica surface (AP-mica) was developed. DNA molecules were cross-linked to trioxalen moieties by UV irradiation of complexes. The steps of the sample preparation procedure were analyzed with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Results from XPS show that an AP-mica surface can be formed by vapor phase deposition of silane and that this surface can be derivatized with trioxalen. The derivatized surface is capable of binding of DNA molecules such that, after UV cross-linking, they withstand a thorough rinsing with SDS. Observations with atomic force microscopy showed that derivatized surfaces remain smooth, so DNA molecules are easily visualized. Linear and circular DNA molecules were photochemically immobilized on the surface. The molecules are distributed over the surface uniformly, indicating rather even modification of AP-mica with trioxalen. Generally, the shapes of supercoiled molecules electrostatically immobilized on AP-mica and those photocross-linked on trioxalen-functionalized surfaces remain quite similar. This suggests that UV cross-linking does not induce formation of a noticeable number of single-stranded breaks in DNA molecules.

Community Pharmacy Can Help Reduce Costs, Improve Health for TRICARE Patients
Published in The Hill
Sometimes, what may look good on paper may not be the best solution to achieve budgetary savings, and may in fact prove counterproductive. A proposal by the Administration would increase copays for TRICARE beneficiaries who wish to utilize community pharmacies instead of mail order for prescription drugs. The National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) and the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) have concerns with this approach to achieve savings at the expense of service men and women and their families, and are committed to working with TRICARE to implement initiatives that will aid in reducing prescription drug costs, while also improving patient health.
TRICARE – the Department of Defense (DoD) healthcare plan for military families and veterans – currently includes strong incentives for the use of mail order by allowing beneficiaries to obtain three times more medication from mail order as from retail for the same copayment.
DoD has made it clear that beginning this October, it will further induce mail order by increasing copayments for retail pharmacy, therefore limiting the choice of how TRICARE beneficiaries may obtain prescription medications.
Community pharmacy is part of the solution in containing costs and improving health. In fact, pharmacies have worked for years to save money in TRICARE and other health programs, by promoting affordable alternatives, such as the appropriate use of generic drugs. Generic medications, on average, cost one-sixth as much as brand name drugs.
One approach supported by NACDS and NCPA is to encourage TRICARE beneficiaries to use generic medications from retail pharmacies. This approach creates a co-payment structure that offers greater incentives for beneficiaries to use generic medications and other lower cost therapies.
Another cost-saving approach is to better promote the prevention services offered by community pharmacies for people with chronic illnesses such as diabetes. Pharmacists can help patients take their medications in the most safe and effective ways – also known as medication adherence – which is an important benefit of having the opportunity to choose where to fill prescription medications. A July 2009 report by the research group NEHI estimated that the overall cost of poor medication adherence, measured in otherwise avoidable medical spending, is as much as $290 billion per year, or 13 percent of total healthcare expenditures. Medication Therapy Management (MTM) – recognized federally in the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 – is a professional service offered by pharmacists that helps ensure medications are taken appropriately, thus preventing higher-cost and preventable forms of treatment.
The Senate will soon debate and vote on the defense authorization bill. There are better ways to reduce expenses than to restrict community pharmacy as a choice for TRICARE patients by making them pay more for their prescription medications. Instead, the bill should offer TRICARE beneficiaries a level playing field in how they choose to receive their prescription medications.
Congress should adopt alternative cost-saving strategies, including utilizing local pharmacists, so that these brave men and women and their families have a choice in how they receive their prescription medications.

Steve McQueen Style: 1964 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Luso for Sale at $1.6 Million
In honor of the 80th anniversary of Steve McQueen's birth, global online luxury marketplace JamesList is offering a 1964 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso for sale nearly identical to the one owned by the legendary actor. The "King of Cool"'s own 1963 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso, the jewel in his collection of exotic sports cars, was sold at auction in 2007 for $2.3 million; this one is priced at about $1.6 million. In production for barely 18 months, only 350 of the coveted cars were built, making it one of the most sought-after of all Ferrari's front-engined V-12 powered gran turismos. The Berlinetta Lusso on offer was owned by world famous conductor Herbert von Karajan and was built in 1964. Originally introduced at the 1962 Paris Motor Show, the Lusso combined the best features of the 250 GT Short Wheelbase Berlinetta and the 250 GTO in one beautiful, refined, quick, responsive, luxurious package, wrapped in one of Pininfarina's most attractive designs. The car on offer, finished in silver with a red leather interior, was completely restored by the Modena-based specialist Brandoli in 1985 and remains in pristine condition.

Warning: Explicit Language
When one of the Diaz brothers talks, it's hard not to listen. Nate appeared on BJPENN.COM Radio, for an interview following his loss to Josh Thomson at UFC on Fox 7. He had a lot to talk about.
On Josh Thomson:
"I've never fought someone who wanted out of a fight so bad. I went in there and I expected a fight. I expected him to grab me, hold me, throw some kicks and move, some punches and move but that mother fucker was straight running and I had to chase his ass down. I was chasing him that whole fight. I was the aggressor. I felt I was reckless. I went in there. How can you not be against a guy who's running scared shitless for his life? I went in there, I'm chasing him around. I'm overaggressive trying to get a hold of him and that's why I got hit with some shit because I was overaggressive. I'm trying to meet the criteria to win these rounds."
"He got lucky, he jumped in there, he threw his punches and they stopped the fight.... I would like a rematch. He knows he's scared shitless. He won't ever talk about no rematch. The UFC won't either. I know and he knows he won't ever talk about a rematch. You can go and ask him that one. I don't think it was anything he did. It was more my bad than his ups.
"The last guy I fought, Josh Thomson, he was scared shitless when I was fighting him. It's unbelievable how scared he was in there. He was running for his life. He was making women when I was fighting him. He was making bitch ass lady sounds and that's not bullshit. I'm not here talking shit on him, this is reality. He was making woman sounds. He was running out of the clinch. I hit him in the face and he was going "Oh, oh, ehh" making woman sounds I've never even heard out of a man before during a fight. I'm hearing his corner telling him to smile and I'm like, "Yeah, smile mother fucker" and not a single smile came out of his mouth. He had a look of panic the whole fight. You have to be in there to fight these guys to know that. This is how it went. I've seen him in other fights, he was smiling at the other guy, bouncing around. He didn't have no time for that against me. He was frantic and trying not to get his ass whooped."
On Gray Maynard
"Gray Maynard got knocked out two years ago by Frankie Edgar. What the fuck has he done since then? I think he fought Clay Guida in the most boring fight I've ever seen in my life and now he gets to fight somebody for a title shot? Get to fucking work mother fucker! Gray Maynard.... Now I know what to do. Since I just lost via TKO, I should just take two years off, maybe a year from now fight somebody and have a boring decision fight and that'll get me back in there for a title shot because that's what Gray just did. He got knocked out by a guy that's not even a lightweight anymore."
A few points of interest:
- The ref stopped the fight early.
- He's never fought anyone as scared as Josh Thomson.
- Benson Henderson is weird.
- Gilbert Melendez is the true lightweight champion.
- Gray Maynard shouldn't be anywhere near a title shot.
- He won't fight again at 155lbs, unless it's to avenge a loss, or for a no. 1 contender spot.
- He'd fight Josh Thomson again right now.
Those are just a few parts from this hour long interview. We'll add updates later, including choice quotes and maybe even a full transcript, so check back for more.

31-year-old man shot by deputy in DelafieldTOWN OF DELAFIELD -- For the second time in less than a week, a local law enforcement officer is forced to fire is weapon in self defense. A 31-year-old man is now recovering from a gun shot wound at Froedtert Hospital. The Waukesha County Sheriff's Office tells CBS 58 the man injured was shot by a deputy inside a home in the Town of Delafield. Several squads surrounded a home near Twin Oaks Drive and Huckleberry Road after officials received a 9-1-1 call about a man who had a gun and was apparently suicidal. When deputies arrived, they asked the man to drop the weapon, but when he refused to do so, a deputy shot the suspect. Flight for Life transported the man to Froedtert Hospital. As of Wednesday morning, it is unclear how the man is doing. The Walworth County Sheriff's Department is aiding in the investigation. |

Things I Liked:
Im take face-offs and i am an offensive middie and i love this head.. faceoffs its great. shooting its accurate. not flimsy but its def not stiff
Things to Improve:
i mean i wish it weren't so wide but its as pinched as it can be to meet the specs
Full Review:
Solid head. Dont hesitate to buy it cause you def won't dislike it at all
nick - Boston, MA - 3/22/2010
i play defense an some midfield and faceoffs. it has great stiffness for being so light. also about the weight, i weighed it to my other heads and it blows the other heads out of the water. great for stringing and nice scoop
a little weak but great for the weight
You've got to try it, it's the best midfield-attack head i've ever had
Matt - South Jersey - 4/24/2010
awsome head
jeff - callafornia - 7/18/2012
everything about the head is great
just love the head
luke - . - 7/25/2012
light, flexible becasue i take face offs and an all around great head
Great head
Nathan T. - NJ - 8/4/2012
Peter - NY - 8/7/2012
flex points, stringing holes, shape, sexiness
my favorite head of all time
Matt - Salt Lake City, Utah - 8/30/2012
this head is amazing its really light and good for face offs if our any kind of middie i reccomend this head
the only bad thing is the stringing holes
dont hesitate to buy this head
Jake - saratoga ny - 9/18/2012
FOGOs dream head
PvG - STL - 11/15/2012
Light, Durable, Face Shape
Hour Glassing
Great head glad they lowered the price
Dominic - Binghamton, NY - 12/16/2012
very lightweight easy to string wide catching area at top thin throat at bottom to cradle easier
feels like it is easy to break but I havent seen anyone break theirs
very good head
Zach - MD - 12/31/2012
Face shape, weight
Flimsy in hot weather, sidewall holes.
Very good head.
will - Phoenix, AZ - 5/24/2013
The flare is super nice, especially since you don't see many X spec heads with an aggressive flare anymore. It is super lightweight, and was easy for me to string. It has almost a matte finish to it, which looks so filthy, especially when you get a colored head.
More sidewall holes for people who need more stringing options.
Overall a great head, I cracked a sidewall on mine (but that was from me hitting it on the ground). If you are an attackman, or a middie, I HIGHLY recommend this head.
Macon - Camas, WA - 6/26/2013
Super light weight. Matte finish is SWEET. Cool face shape.Great looking.
1) Too few stringing holes. Very limited. 2) Scoop is a little too flat for my taste-- but just slightly. 3) I have seen many of these cracked about 2 inches above the ball stop.
Not durable enough for your #1 stick. Superlight weight is awesome, but you sacrifice durability. The matte finish looks amazing-- Warrior should do this to more of their heads!!
NorCalLaxDaddy - SF, CA - 9/28/2013
I like how light it was and how flexible it is, very good for faceoffs
great head overall
John - Mn - 10/20/2013
flexible light flares colors
best head ever. every one should get a noz!

SPX Chart
First things first the 200 DMA is up near 1490 versus a close yesterday of 1416. I view the 200 DMA as a line of demarcation for healthy demand or unhealthy demand so we are a long way from healthy.
The green line seems like it has been more important since the peak than the 200 DMA. The orange line, which may not be important, seems to isolate smaller congestion points that, if relevant, would imply some resistance up near 1450. And lastly as I read the purple line, if that one matters, I think it says we stopped at resistance at the close yesterday it could serve as support if we close above it which seems unlikely for now thanks to the Citi fallout.
There are many ways to look at the same chart and perhaps it would be better to look at a longer term chart than just one year but I would not be surprised if we went up to some of those higher numbers before doing anything else.
I am still in the bear market camp and I think the chart sends the same message about this as it did when I posted it previously but even if I turn out to be right about a bear market there will be stretches where the market goes up and people start feeling better. This is what it means to rollover slowly as I always say is the manner in which bear markets start.
If I am wrong that a bear market has started, when one really does start it will rollover slowly and have feel good rallies as it does rollover. Trying to trade around this sort of thing (buy the strength and sell the weakness) is likely to go poorly for most folks. I actually sold a discretionary name at the open that most, but not all, clients owned--so it was a case of selling the strength. To be clear though the stock is way off its high like most discretionary stocks.
On a personal note a friend of ours is going through a very rough medical issue and so as he is in our thoughts I will say I hope you exercise a lot, don't smoke and (here's one you don't hear often) don't drink soda. Not that I have researched this but I think the number of people that create long term problems for themselves because of soda consumption will end up being more than with cigarettes as this century moves on--just my own opinion.

Along with most of big conglomerates, GE is benefiting from the week dollar (somewhere around 50% of their sales are international). It has underperformed the broader market (S&P 500), which is a trend that I *think* is reversing (I'm not much of a trader - heh), as developing economies around the world invest more in cheap U.S. technology. Along those lines, GE is a play on clean water, energy, medical imaging, security, etc. - all the things that you need for a happy populace. It certainly might get cheaper, but this looks like a decent enough price to me.
good luck! - 1:26 PM

Oh and Roger, sorry to hear about your friend. Couldn't agree more on the soda issue. It's hopeless for the wife and me, but we have been successful in keeping the kids off it, thus far.

you bought for the same reasons I did in 2003...at least the part that ge can literally create the infrastructure for a brand new country. wall st has never been convinced and won't be until earnings and sales show a growth company and not a financial company that is nothing more than proxy for our economy.I will hold and still anticipate that there will be a sudden awakening when the parts come together to hit a critical mass .
curious about the soda health issue...would like to hear more, personally, never into soda; just coffee, cheese, and ice cream are my vices.

Re the questions about sodas. Here are only two instances of problems with them.
Item. Sodium benzoate has long been used as a preservative in sodas. Benzoate, when mixed with vitamin C in soft drinks, becomes a carcinogenic (cancer causing). Research has found that sodium benzoate damages mitochondrial DNA.
Item. Ample evidence indicates that soft drinks cause lower calcium levels and higher phospates in the blood. Calcium is leached out of bones thereby. Of children tested, 67 percent had low blood calcium levels. This two thirds regulary drank soft drinks.
Item. Caffeinated sodas (Coca Cola, etc.) are vaso-constrictors, producing high blood pressure. - 3:29 PM

Lots of things are listed as carcinogens.
Testosterone is also a carcinogen. Are you going to cut your testicles off????
Soda gets a lot of bad press and the calcium issue is well documented but the carcinogen issue is urban legend at this point.
Unfortunately the truth about many so called carcinogens in our diet will take years to determine. But the hysteria will plague us for quite a while. - 3:49 PM

but it is still sugar water that contributes to a shift to a greater percent of the US population being overweight which dominoes into plenty of problems cancer related or not.
- philip said...
don't forget hig fructose corn syrup, which is a nasty by product of our sugar tarrifs and corn subsidies. Bad for you. Metabolized only by your liver and into fatty acids before it can be consumed. Strangely it also requires copper to metabolize, which is a trace mineral you generally shouldn't consume much of, but I haven't heard anyone claim any issues related to copper deficiency from corn syrup consumption. HFCS needs to go.

Agree with the soda comment. I lost 20lbs just by stopping my 5-6 soda a day habit (free soda in the workplace was a bad idea)
1 soda is like drinking 2 cups of sugar in water so i was drinking over 10 cups of white sugar daily!
I believe soda is connected to the huge jump in US diabetes. - 11:54 PM

Most chronic diseases result from a combination of age, genetics and lifestyle choices. While one cannot change the first two, one can control the third. The prevalence rate of diseases increases exponentially after age 60. But over the last 20 years, the incidence rate of chronic disease, has increased steadily each year largely due to LIFESTYLE CHOICES.
Eat right (get enough nutrients, roughage, diversity while keeping sodium and saturated fat levels to a minimum) and maintain a healthy weight; exercise regularly (cardiovascular, strength and flexibility so that you can live independently longer); and get age appropriate health screenings.
I cannot imagine how this country is going to pay for the healthcare costs of our aging population. I've seen the medical data (disease profile, costs) on the the Medicare population for the demonstration project underway. It is truly staggering. Magnifying that by this bolus of baby boomers moving up the age bands presents an unpleasant scenario unfolding that will likely result in an inability to pay for necessary care.
Ultimately it is our personal responsibility to optimize our health within the constraints of our demographic and genetic profile. It sounds so easy--and it should be. However we know the reality that changing harmful behaviors is not easy.
After posting this I'm feeling guilty, and I'll now go out and exercise with my dogs! - 5:28 AM

"Today is a big day for Android… 500 million devices activated globally, and over 1.3 million added every single day," said Hugo Bara, Android's director of product management, in a Google+ post. It's not clear how many devices are replacing older ones, though.
Barra said in June at the Google I/O show that 400 million Android devices had been activated and that the rate was 1 million per day. He also noted that the Jelly Bean statue, which commemorates Android 4.1, is back on the Google sculpture gallery that shows off the various dessert-themed versions of the mobile operating system. The statue had to go back into the shop for repairs shortly after its debut.
Android 4.1 ships with the Galaxy Nexus, a smartphone made by Samsung, and the Nexus 7, a tablet made by Asus, but not on much else yet.
Indeed, the transition to Android 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich is still grinding along slowly, with the earlier Android 2.3 aka Gingerbread still claiming 57 percent share of usage. Gingerbread is looking more and more like Windows XP: an operating system whose wide use means developers will have to support old technology for a long time. Jelly Bean has 20.9 percent of usage, now finally increasing steadily after months of little movement following its 2011 debut. Jelly Bean is at 1.2 percent, according to Google's measurements.

"Our schools suck." This is how many young people of color call attention to the kind of public education they are receiving. In cities across the nation, many students are trapped in under-funded, mismanaged and unsafe schools. Yet, a number of scholars and of public figures like Bill Cosby have shifted attention away from the persistence of school segregation to lambaste the values of young people themselves. Our Schools Suck forcefully challenges this assertion by giving voice to the compelling stories of African American and Latino students who attend under-resourced inner-city schools, where guidance counselors and AP classes are limited and security guards and metal detectors are plentiful—and grow disheartened by a public conversation that continually casts them as the problem with urban schools.
By showing that young people are deeply committed to education but often critical of the kind of education they are receiving, this book highlights the dishonesty of public claims that they do not value education. Ultimately, these powerful student voices remind us of the ways we have shirked our public responsibility to create excellent schools. True school reform requires no less than a new civil rights movement, where adults join with young people to ensure an equal education for each and every student.

"Our Schools Suck offers a clear and unmitigated analysis of the perspectives and voices of students who are trapped in schools that fail at meeting their intellectual and social needs."
"This book reminds us that there are lives and futures at stake and that young people are passionate and tenacious, despite the obstacles they face every day in our urban schools."
"Our Schools Suck is a passionate, hard-hitting critique of a re-emerging hurtful and offensive discourse on the alleged 'culture of failure' among youth of color. Rather than demonizing children, we need to take aim at the role that schools play in the creation and maintenance of social hierarchies. This multi-voiced account is a soulful, if poignant, re-framing of what really is an urgent, national crisis to which we must all attend."
"The student voices in this striking book are an intervention into the adult-driven stereotypes of urban youth. The students offer stories of anger, challenge and hope. We all need to pay attention to these voices, and act on the corrective lessons they provide."
"For anyone desperate for a fresh look into the apartheid education system, in which Black and Latino students are currently trapped.";

SD Card issues
i have a 32gb SD card that for the most part worked fine in JB. I would restart and it would eventually find the card after a reboot. Well that is not the case anymore and I cannot access the card unless I remove it from the device? This is a major annoyance. What is the point of additional storage? Anyone else having this issue?
Re: SD Card issues
You probably didn't install the card correctly. Try reinstalling it per this link. If it doesn't see it then, it might have been damaged by having the terminals misaligned with the socket. That can put power on the data lines and blow the card.
SD Card door not fully closing after installing SD Card. - 01-04-2013, 12:57 PM #3
Re: SD Card issues
Twice since I've owned the phone (once a month ago, and then again last night), my RHDM suddenly stopped seeing my SD card (just out of the blue, worked one minute and then not the next). I took the card out, reinserted, restarted the phone a couple of times, nothing. After a few minutes, the SD card suddenly showed up again. Don't know what's up with that, am just happy that its back again.
- 01-04-2013, 02:58 PM Thread Author #4
Re: SD Card issues
whoover, that did not work either. The only thing that worked was reformatting the card on a computer. I inserted the card and it recognized fine. Problem is I have done this before and it happened again. I thought it was a fluke.. which is why I asked the community if they ever saw or experienced something similar. The door was fully closed and tight. I am worried that after a period of time this will occur again?
Thanks for your help!

Gwinnett Daily Post
WINDER - The number of high school juniors in Barrow County meeting or exceeding standards on the Georgia High School Writing Test this year increased by one percentage point to 91 percent, school district officials announced Tuesday.
The test, which was administered Sept. 24, assesses writing in four domains: ideas, organization, style and convention. The performance of the 642 juniors who took the exam matched the average results in the state and the Northeast Georgia RESA, which includes Barrow, Clarke, Elbert, Greene, Jackson, Madison, Morgan, Oconee, Oglethorpe and Walton counties and Commerce, Jefferson and Social Circle cities. Of the 91 percent of students in Barrow County that passed the writing test, 3 percent exceeded the standards. "While we have some work to do with our junior students, such as move more into the 'exceeds' group, I feel we are moving in the right direction," Barrow County Superintendent Ron Saunders said. "When your results show that more than nine out of 10 of our students that took the test met or exceeded the standards, I believe we can be satisfied that teaching and learning is taking place in our schools." Gwinnett County Public Schools officials said they are validating the district's scores on the writing test. The scores are expected to be released this week.More like this story

Indianapolis – The track and field season continues for a select group of Aggies this week during the USA Track & Field Championships. National meets for the senior-level and junior-level athletes will take place at the Michael A. Carroll Track Stadium from Thursday, June 21 to Sunday, June 24.
Meanwhile, a trio of A&M athletes will travel to Kingston for the Jamaican National Championships, held June 22-24. Competing in the Jamaican meet, and seeking a berth on the national team for the World Championships, is Simone Facey, Tresha Henry and Clora Williams.

Charan, Lucas and Sharif head into the meet as the top-ranked participants in their respective events.
Charan's career best of 42-9 ½ (13.04), which earned her second place in the triple jump at the Midwest Regional, ranks second among U.S. junior jumpers. Charan is fifth among U.S. juniors and among the top 20 in the world in the long jump with her career best mark of 20-5 ¼ (6.23), which she set in winning the Penn Relays.
Lucas became the world junior leader in the 200 with her time of 22.79 seconds, which she set in placing third at the Big 12 Championships. On all-time junior lists for the 200 Lucas moved to No. 6 among the U.S. list and No. 20 in the world.
Lucas ran the second leg of Texas A&M's national championship effort in the 4 x 100, where the Aggies posted a school record of 43.05 for the victory at the NCAA meet. She earned three All-America honors during the NCAA Outdoor Championships and totaled four in her freshman year.
The career best of 52-8 ¼ (16.06) Sharif set in placing fifth at the NCAA Championships currently ranks eighth on the world junior list for the 2007 season.
Sharif produced the best season among freshmen in this event. Indoors he won the Big 12 title and finished ninth at the NCAA Indoor meet. Then outdoors, Sharif added a third-place effort at the Big 12 Championships and a runner-up at the Midwest Region.
Among the incoming freshmen joining the Aggies in August, Mayo tops the junior entrants in the 100 with a clocking of 11.16 set in 2006 and is second only to Lucas in the 200 with her best of 22.88. Beard is the top entrant in the 400 by over a second with a time of 51.63 she ran this season.
