Stanford University, 2005 - $7,250
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a cardiac rhythm disorder that can lead to heart palpitations, chest pain, and clot formation that can lead to strokes. Medications used to control the symptoms of AF have had limited success and come with significant side effects. Recent research suggests that AF is caused by electrically abnormal cells in the right and left side pulmonary veins; with this in mind, percutaneous catheter techniques have been developed in which a catheter is used to ablate (destroy) the conducting tissue around the abnormal cells, electrically isolating them so that they cannot initiate AF. However, this procedure has had limited success due to the fact that the catheter cannot always access the right-sided pulmonary veins given their physical location in the body and the variability of pulmonary vein anatomy from person to person.
To address this issue, this E-Team developed a novel sheath system that can target a catheter directly toward the right-sided pulmonary veins, leading to more effective AF ablations. The sheath system utilizes an anchored trans-septal sheath and an inner, pre-shaped guiding sheath to direct the ablation catheter directly toward right-sided pulmonary veins. The team also designed several inner sheaths to optimize the targeting of the catheter depending on whether the right superior, right inferior, or both right-sided pulmonary veins together are being isolated.

WASHINGTON — Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren accused her GOP counterparts at a Senate Banking Committee hearing of attempting to weaken a fledgling consumer protection bureau, as Republican senators continued to oppose the nominee to head the agency.
Republicans object to the structure and what they call a lack of oversight for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was established by the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial services regulatory overhaul. In turn, they've put up stiff resistance to the confirmation of Richard Cordray as its director.

Related Stories
Here are the players of the week — on offense, defense and special teams — from the Vikings' 22-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Offense — WR Percy Harvin
The Vikings have faced criticism for not giving Harvin enough snaps on offense, but against the Chiefs, he made the most of his opportunities. He had five receptions for 42 yards and four carries for 67 yards. He was explosive running the ball off of reverses, and the Vikings need to continue to find ways to get the ball into his hands, as he is easily the most explosive player on the offense outside of Adrian Peterson.
Defense — DE Jared Allen
Allen wasn't consistently pressuring Matt Cassel on Sunday, surprising given the emotion of returning to Kansas City and facing a left tackle in Branden Albert who has had his struggles. However, Allen still had two sacks, using his relentless motor to chase down Cassel from behind on two rollouts.
Special Teams — PK Ryan Longwell
Longwell receives the award by default, connecting on his one field-goal attempt and both point-after tries, as it was a disappointing day for the kickoff and punt coverage, as well as P Chris Kluwe.

Australian Football
Since Australia was established in the late 18th century as a British penal colony, it was likely the country would embrace the sport of soccer. It is not hard to imagine the citizens kicking the round ball in the 1800's when British culture dominated the country.
However the locals eventually embraced the oval ball of rugby, and went on to invent their very own Aussie rules football. Soccer played second fiddle to the two until the creation of the A League in 2004.
The inaugural season of the A League ended with Australia's national team competing in the World Cup in 2006. Australians love their sport, and their gambling on sports. In 2006 many Australians won big money placing a soccer bet on their beloved 'socceroos' beating Japan in their first World Cup game - a win that set them up for qualification in their group.
Soccer is now a huge sport in Oz, but still falls behind Rugby and AFL, as well as games like roulette, horse racing events and racing form, on events such as the melbourne cup (which is a public holiday in some places).
With continued improvement on the international stage, the sky is the limit for Aussie soccer! So all you Aussie fans, chime in here and send me tributes to your "socceroos."
Some Foreign Field
My travels have taken me to a couple of matches in England. It is fun to see their game and the fans are interested in a Yank who follows "footy." I get asked why I like football and why the rest of America doesnt.
We arent taken too seriously there of course. I was stopped in London by a workman this summer.
"Whose kit is that?"
"U.S. They play Germany today in the World Cup."
"Five-nil," was his disparaging prediction.
I grinned back at him. "Id take those odds if I were you."
His mood changed and he made a fist. "Stuff em for us!"
If only we had . . .

Base Football Players
Wonderful thing soccer, on the one hand it's probably done more to introduce disparate cultures to a shared rule system, (offside, penalties etc), than any religion that ever existed. Ironically, at the same time, it divides nation from nation, town from town, and, in instances such as Liverpool versus Everton, Celtic versus Rangers and AC Milan versus Inter Milan, pits parish against parish in bitter rivalry. Rather like religion I suppose. However, when you consider the time that it took Christianity, Islam and Buddhism to reach their zenith in terms of geographical dominance, then the rapid growth of football from its origins in medieval England to its near global exposure is nothing short of miraculous.
The Girl Can Play
She moved into town early in 1988. Coming from Virginia or North Carolina--somewhere from that part of the country--she had already played at a higher level of soccer than was offered girls in this part of the country. But she lived now in Florida's panhandle, Pensacola to be exact, and club soccer was just in its beginnings for boys. The few girls that wanted to play could hold their own with guys and that's where they played, with guys.

Select Route:
Although the WI3 rating is said to be somewhat understated early season, this sunny climb usually provides a mellow WI 3 line by January. By this time, the easiest place to begin is on the right hand side of the initial steep step. After overcoming this step, continue up low-angled ice and possibly snow, pass a small tree on your left, and finish at an excellent belay tree at the top. Rap down the route with two ropes or one rope with a v-thread.
Hike left from Bingo World/The Thrill is Gone about 150 yards. The climb will be obvious as it the widest flow and dominates this side of the wall. Directly below The Fat One is a 30-40 foot pitch of WI 3 that can be combined with the climb.

French police make arrest in Al-Hilli murder inquiry
Updated 2:22pm Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News By Guardian Reporter
A 48-year-old man has been arrested by French police investigating the murder of the Al-Hilli family from Claygate, prosecutors have said.
Saad Al-Hilli, 50, of Oaken Lane, his dentist wife Iqbal, 47 and her mother, Suhalia Al-Allaf, 74, were shot dead in their BMW while on a camping holiday in the French Alps on September 5, 2012.
A French cyclist Sylvain Mollier, was also shot dead on the remote forest road in Chevaline, near Lake Annency.
The two Al-Hilli children, both former pupils of Claygate School, survived the attack.
Zainab, then seven, was shot and pistol whipped by the gunman but survived the attack and Zeena, then four, escaped unharmed after she hid beneath her mother's skirt.
Atention has turned to Mr Mollier as the possible intended target since Saad's brother, Zaid Al-Hilli, who lives in Chessington, was released from police bail.
The man, said to be from the Haute-Savoie region, was placed in formal police custody. In November police released an e-fit of a motorcyclist they wished to speak to in connection with the murders, who was thought to be in the region at the time.
Annecy prosecutor Eric Maillaud said: "This arrest, which may not be the only one, was the result of witness statements that came in after the image was released."
About 100 police officers in Britain and France have been working on solving the killings.

Lesley's Sonnabend Fellow Diana Chapman Walsh, President Emerita of Wellesley College, offered her reflections on the convergence of leadership and mindfulnessBy Dr. Nancy Waring, Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies and faculty director of the Mindfulness Studies Program at Lesley
Wednesday, May 01, 2013
Such was the question explored by Dr. Diana Chapman Walsh in her far-reaching talk Tuesday evening at Lesley University on the convergence of mindfulness and leadership.
Chapman Walsh led the audience through her early days as President of Wellesley College, to Southern India last summer, where she helped lead the week-long Mind and Life Institute hosted by the Dalai Lama. The conversation focused on the bridging of Buddhist Scholars in Tibet with researchers and scholars from around the world.
"Being with you today, and preparing for this visit, have enhanced my appreciation of who you are and what you do," said Chapman Walsh. Lesley's vision resonated with her, she said: "'Scholarship grounded in practice … learning rooted in experience.' Graduates who you hope will leave you 'with the knowledge, skill, understanding, and ethical judgment to be catalysts who shape a more just, humane, and sustainable world.'" She praised Lesley's dedication to "intellectual rigor side-by-side with a growing interest in contemplative practice and mindfulness as a subject of serious study."
Reflecting on her Wellesley presidency, Chapman Walsh observed, "For me the discovery of mindfulness was initially very much implicated in the practice of leadership---leadership that is effective or 'trustworthy.'"
Chapman Walsh was speaking as this year's Sonnabend Fellow. Initiated in 1989 to honor former Chair of Lesley's Board of Trustees, Elsa Sonnabend, the fellowship brings to campus distinguished practitioners in the field of human services to work with Lesley's students and faculty and enrich the academic community. Renowned for her transformative educational leadership at Wellesley and beyond, Chapman Walsh is a sought-after speaker and consultant. She serves on the governing boards of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Broad Institute, the Kaiser Family Foundation, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, and the Mind and Life Institute, as well as on national advisory boards.
Trustworthy leadership "begins and ends with leaders who can question themselves," she said, noting that she found that the contemplative disciplines helped her quiet her heart and stabilize her mind. With mindfulness as an ally, she found herself grounded in a truth she described as joining her ability to integrate knowledge, "with skillfulness at integrating self as knower, mind, body, heart and spirit. If I couldn't trust myself, I realized, how could I ask others to trust me?"
Serendipitously, she noted, "gentle emissaries from the contemplative traditions…would appear from time to time and extend to me a fresh invitation to slow down and pay attention." Among these were His Holiness the Dalai Lama, whom she first met in 1997 as a fellow faculty member at a conference. Thich Nhat Hanh led a retreat for several hundred of his followers at Wellesley during her tenure as president. There were others, including Mahatma Ghandi's grandson, who joined a conference at the college in honor of his grandfather. Chapman Walsh suggested that "it was in part these visitations from the East that guided me to the teaching that ignorance lies at the root of suffering and to see my evolving contemplative practice not as a religious or spiritual gesture but as a doorway to learning. I was learning a new way of being in the world, of cultivating a mindful and ethical integrity."
Chapman Walsh emphasized that importantly for us and our students, "the secularization of the contemplative practices and their gradual grounding in scientific research have moved them out of the realm of religion and unquestioning faith and into the realm of education, open for investigation and critique." The simple "being there" aspect of mindfulness is one of its great assets in the academy, its cultivation of qualities of concentration, reflection, self-observation, compassion, deeper engagement with the material-all skills requiring nothing in the way of [religious] belief. But rather building emotion regulation and sustained attention." She underscored that "we have mounting scientific evidence of the importance of these skills for success, in school and life."
Mindfulness was not simply a personal path, she said, but one that enabled her to "embody the role of the president with fuller integrity." Emboldened by this discovery, Chapman Walsh became more public in her pursuit of questions about how what she called "a truly integrative education might join body, mind, and spirit for whole human beings seeking knowledge in all its complexity, all its mystery. I was out on a limb. And it was out there that I began to encounter the friends and colleagues who would encourage me on."
Among them were her meditation teacher, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Lesley's 2012 Sonnabend fellow and friend, and recipient of an Honorary Doctorate from Lesley in 2011. Another was Arthur Zajonc, the Amherst physicist, and now President of Mind and Life, who moved her with his arguments for a radical vision of education as transformation.
Circling back to Lesley, Chapman Walsh said, "I see you opening spaces for your students to become increasingly mindful of our immense capacity as humans, to find and awaken the best in ourselves and one another. And I see you doing that in part by advancing the emerging academic field of mindfulness and contemplative studies.''
Turning to her most recent encounter with the Dalai Lama, Chapman Walsh noted that His Holiness was instrumental in founding The Mind and Life Institute to bridge the gap between the first-person, phenomenological perspective of the world's contemplative traditions, and the third-person, objectivism perspective of Western science, with its increasingly powerful methodologies and tools for probing the mind. She offered a glimpse into last summer's dialogue in Southern India with the Dalai Lama and other thinkers, on bringing Western science into the Indian monastic curriculum.
Near the end of a week of conversation, said Chapman Walsh, His Holiness "spoke of his dream of an educational initiative throughout the world that would teach what he calls 'secular ethics' as a means to reduce human suffering and promote human flourishing." Chapman Walsh, who was moderating the proceedings at the time, said she felt like he was speaking to her, and through her to the Mind and Life Institute, and on to the larger educational community.
"And so I'm here to pass the charge along to you," she said. Lesley faculty, she noted "have been opening spaces for your students to become increasingly mindful of our immense capacity as humans. I see you doing that in part by advancing the emerging academic field of mindfulness and contemplative studies."
How blessed we are at Lesley University to have been visited by this gentle emissary from the world of possibility. May Diana Chapman Walsh's visit last evening be the first of many encounters with her as we continue to develop our mindfulness offerings.

Town Square
Residents, developers clash over city's vision
Original post made on Jul 19, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Friday, July 19, 2013, 9:41 AM

Give our cur city credit. Development and the comprehensive plan are always kept in sync. It amends the plan as necessary to conform to each new development.
on Jul 19, 2013 at 11:53 am
And miraculously, not a single car will be added to our congestion from any of the developments because the amended plans say so. Only in Palo Alto could we have more development where not a single worker or resident ever drives a car.
on Jul 19, 2013 at 11:57 am
I want to congratulate Gennady Sheyner for a very timely, thoughtful and well researched article.
Why should the citizens of Palo Alto believe anything which emanates from City Council or staff when they don't keep the promises they make or enforce the ordinances they pass.
In 1975, following the annexation of Barron Park into Palo Alto,then Mayor Stanley Norton wrote a letter (Web Link) in which he promised
"The City Council has adcpted several policies concerning 3arron Park.
They are: (1) that the City supports in principle the desire of Barron
Park to preserve and enhance Barron Park as a residential community made up predominantly of single-family homes by keeping present R-I zoning intact(Council motion of May 11, 1973);and (2)...that before Barron Park zoning is comprehensively reviewed, no denser land use than that which is already acceptable under present county zoning will be allowed (Council motion, April 21, 1975)." Now they have passed an ordinance setting up a high-density PC zone next to those R-1 homes.
Fast forward to the present when the City adopted the Auto Dealership Overlay Zone (AD) ordinance which, among other things, provided that:
" Off-street parking and loading facilities shall be required for all automobile dealerships in the (AD) combining district, in accord with Chapters 18.52 and 18.54. Where the provisions of Chapters 18.52 and 18.54 conflict with the provisions of this Section 18.30(F).060, this section shall control... (Web Link)
This regulation has NEVER been enforced on Maybell Avenue, a sub-standard width street designated by the City as a "Safe Route to School". The very street where they want to add more traffic with the PC zoning. (Web Link)
Do they really expect us to believe that they represent the interests of the Palo Alto residents? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I'm not buying their bridge.

The literal meaning of "qigong" is life-force ("qi") cultivation ("gong"). This term includes a wide variety of Taoist practices which aim to nourish, cultivate, balance and increase our awareness of qi (also spelled "chi") -- the energy aspect of our bodymind. Some practices include physical movement; others are more exclusively internal - using breath, attention, sound and/or visualization to activate the experience of flowing energy, i.e. "qi."

Lambert: I'll be disappointed if I don't hit 30 league goals
8:36am Tuesday 10th April 2012 in Sport By Gordon Simpson , Senior Sports Reporter
RICKIE Lambert has revealed he will be "disappointed" if he doesn't hit 30 Championship goals in his first ever season at that level.
The phenomenal Saints striker took his league tally to 26 with both goals in the 2-0 win at Crystal Palace yesterday.
Due to his cup strikes, Lambert has now reached the 30-goal milestone in all competitions for the second time in his extraordinary three-season Saints career.
In his debut term of 2009/10, Lambert belted 36 goals – of which 30 came in League One.
Now he is adamant he wants to repeat that feat at the level above.
"I know I've never set targets, but if I don't get 30 in the league then I'll be disappointed," he said.

ILLINOIS -- Illinois house members have joined state senators in approving a bill to hike the state speed limit to 70 miles an hour on Interstate highways.
The House voted overwhelmingly to raise the speed limit with enough votes to override a veto from the Governor.
But, the bill allows counties around Chicago and St. Louis to opt out of the 70-mile an hour speed limit.
The action Wednesday comes as Ohio also announced an increase to 70 on rural Interstates beginning in July.

L to R R to L Alpha
This is a great route that isn't over till it's over! The crux is just off the ground and looks to be a "Partners in Crime" clone (Shelf Road) with a big pull-reach out of the hueco at the second bolt but climbs totally differently. The fun, bulging section above goes at easy 10 with jugs to a final shake just below another small roof, (milk the shake for all it's worth!!). A long, devious secondary crux sequence climbs over the roof, leads left, then back right to the anchors.
9 clips and a 2 bolt anchor.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) - The cost of celebrating the Fourth of July is up. Gas and meat prices have increased compared to last year's holiday.
Region 8 residents will pay 20 cents more per gallon this year and almost 35 million Americans will travel by car during the holiday. That's a one percent decrease compared to last year.
Many attribute this to the increase in gas prices, but also blame the shorter traveling window, since the fourth falls on a Thursday.

No qb should be taken in the first round this year.
Fingers crossed! I'd love this draft.If Sheldon Richardson really fell to #26, we'd need to try and trade up for him though. Can't see him slipping that far.
apprently this guy doesnt keep up with draft declarations. Tayler lewan is going back for his senior season. dont see lotulelei falling that far either
I tend to agree, but teams reach badly for QB's, it happens every year.

The pie chart illustrates the main reasons caused farmland becoming less productive while the table illustrates how these causes affected three regions of the world during the 1990s.
We can see from the pie chart that globe land degradation is caused by four main reasons. Specifically, over-grazing account for the large proportion (35%) of land degradation while over-cultivation makes up 28% of worldwide land degradation.. A further 30% of land degradation is due to deforestation. Other causes represent only 7% collectively.
According to the table, these causes affected different region differently. Due to Deforestation, Europe had as much as 9.8% land degradation while the impact of this on north America and Oceania was minimal, with only 0.2% and 7% of land affected respectively. Similarly, the cause of land degradation by over-cultivation affected 7.7% land of Europe, whereas such influence was slighter in North America (3.3%) and was not observed in Oceania. By contract, Oceania suffered most from over-grazing (11.3%) than North America (1.5%) and Europe (5.5%).
The total proportion of land degraded was 5% in North America, 23% in Europe and 1.3% in Oceania. Therefore, it can be clearly seen that Europe had the most serious problem of land degradation than the other two countries.

Move the USA-Mexico broadcast to a more widely available channel
The USMNT plays Mexico in a World Cup qualifier on August 12th in Mexico City. With the television rights under their control, Telemundo has decided to show the game on a little-known channel called "mun2". Millions of Americans are unable to get mun2, and many more would be forced to incur additional charges on the television bill to receive it. For soccer fans who wish to watch a highly-anticipated match involving the regions two powers, this is unacceptable. Therefore, we the undersigned, respectfully, yet strongly, request that NBC move the English-language broadcast to the USA Network (or another network with equivalent availability).

The Word: The real 'Game of Thrones' throne is hideous
"Game of Thrones" is about the grimmest fantasy TV show ever to hit the airwaves. But it's not as grim as the version that lives in George R.R. Martin's head. In particular, he finds that the TV version of the titular iron throne is too petite and pretty.
Martin acknowledges that the version we see is right for the constraints of the show, but, he writes on his blog, "It's not the Iron Throne I see when I'm working on THE WINDS OF WINTER. It's not the Iron Throne I want my readers to see. The way the throne is described in the books… HUGE, hulking, black and twisted, with the steep iron stairs in front, the high seat from which the king looks DOWN on everyone in the court… my throne is a hunched beast looming over the throne room, ugly and assymetric [sic]."
Martin includes an artist's rendering of the throne as it ought to be: much pointier, much uglier, and at least two stories tall. Awesome! Can't wait to see an artist's rendering of Cersei.
George R.R. Martin, author of the "Game of Thrones" books, knows how freaked out you were by the red wedding massacre. And he loves it.
"I want my readers to be afraid," he told Conan O'Brien. "I want them to be afraid to turn the next page because the character may not survive it."
Well. Mission very freaking accomplished, George, you sadistic genius.
Despite chuckling over his fans' anguish like a demented Santa Claus, Martin admits that it's harder now to kill off characters since it means rendering an actual live human unemployed. "I was talking to three actors I was just meeting for the first time. I had a moment when I realized they were all dead."
Wow, "Game of Thrones" office parties sound like the funnest.

In a thrilling main event that shored up an otherwise low-quality card, UFC 154 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, closed on a strong note with Georges St. Pierre reclaiming his undisputed welterweight throne in a impressive performance against a game Carlos Condit.
Off since April 2011 because of a well-chronicled knee injury that left some wondering if he could recapture his previous form, St. Pierre's five-round battle answered that question with a resounding "yes." In an intense battle where Condit kept gunning throughout, nearly taking St. Pierre out in the third with a devastating head kick and follow-up assault, "Rush" showed the kind of resilience fans expect from great champions.
In the process, he also showed that there are still plenty of interesting fights for him at 170 pounds, despite lingering talk of a "super fight" with middleweight boss Anderson Silva.
Case in point the co-main event, where Johny Hendricks blitzed Martin Kampmann in a mere 46 seconds, finishing the affair with a massive left hand, to cement his top contender status. It was a rousing statement by Hendricks and couldn't have been better timed.
Here's a closer look at the action from tonight's card in Montreal, with grades for the notable UFC 154 participants:
Georges St. Pierre : A
You can add up all the drama from St. Pierre's six previous title defenses, the total still would be less than the nervous moments Condit served up tonight. There were serious question marks with St-Pierre coming off a devastating ACL injury, which can ruin an athlete's ability to move, especially laterally and in explosive fashion. Yet tonight, he pretty much looked like his old self, and he showed a lot more grit than we're used to seeing him display. Perhaps it was because Condit simply never stopped trying, which made GSP work throughout the bout.
In previous defenses, GSP tended to find a rhythm and put an opponent into it, thereby derailing their best weapon. He kept Josh Koscheck and Jake Shields hopelessly mired behind a stiff jab and standup superiority; bangers like Thiago Alves and Dan Hardy were planted on their backs for much of the fight, unable to get strikes off. But Condit's eminently tricky guard game and willingness to trade on the feet kept GSP working throughout, and it was a subtle chess game on the mat, even though to the untrained eye it may have appeared little different than most extended ground battles.
Condit's opening came in the third, when, with one of his characteristically unorthodox combinations, he drilled a left shin kick, thrown almost as an afterthought, which sent St-Pierre tumbling to the mat. Pouncing in the for the kill, Condit, suddenly in top position and on the offensive, at last, let it all go, hammering St. Pierre briefly before Georges recovered himself, absorbed a few shots on his forearms, and then expertly slid out. Great fighters make smart decisions in times of crisis, and St. Pierre's ability to do this is one of his great assets.
In fact, he does it so quickly that he's often out of trouble before the other guy can fully capitalize, which was the case here (for another example, check the sweet exit from the bottom he used in the middle of the Jon Fitch bout, where he basically gives up mount in order to execute a nifty backdoor escape). Condit is one of the game's best finishers, and had Georges badly hurt and vulnerable, yet GSP kept a clear head and survived it. And then took control over the second half of the fight to smash his way to a clear-cut decision win.
It was an amazing performance by a champion for the ages. The silver lining in tonight's fight is that St. Pierre was not only his dominant self, he was his dominant self in a fight that was exciting - that's a critical difference from previous title performances, and promotional mojo enough to make future challengers marketable opponents. Fans aren't going to keep coming back to see 50-45 shutouts against the Dan Hardys and Thiago Alves of the world, but a rollicking brawl against guys like Condit -- or Nick Diaz, for that matter -- is just what the doctor ordered for GSP now that he's back in top form.
Johny Hendricks: A
Hendricks did his career a huge favor tonight, delivering yet another slam-bang knockout against a super-durable opponent in Martin Kampmann. Much as he did against Jon Fitch last year, Hendricks' massive left hand landed perfectly in the opening moments, blasting the iron-chinned Kampmann out nearly as soon as the bout began. This was as big a win as Hendricks could have hoped for, and if the UFC doesn't throw him in against St-Pierre soon, they should have their head examined, because the Josh Koscheck bout was a questionable decision and Hendricks has more promotional mojo than he'll ever have right now. It'd be a shame if they let this guy linger and potentially drop a decision instead of getting him a title shot. On the other hand, it's hard to see him beating GSP any other way than he did Kampmann and Fitch. But then again, I'm not sure anyone at 170 beats GSP outside of a Matt Serra MomentTM.
Carlos Condit: A-
Unrelenting, courageous, and gritty, Condit's showing was admirable, especially given the fact that he spent much of the fight with GSP's crushing top game draining his gas tank. One reason I've always wanted to see Condit fight GSP is because his jiu-jitsu game is a lot like Nick Diaz' -- and tonight revealed that there is simply nobody at 170 that can realistically hope to submit a healthy GSP. Given that Diaz, like Condit, can take a helluva beating and will always keep coming, that's precisely why fans will always pay to see either of these guys fight him.
Condit has fought a lot of tough people who weren't really given their due at the time he scrapped with them. He dropped his UFC debut against Martin Kampmann before Kampmann emerged as an elite contender; KO'd then-upstart Rory MacDonald in a phenomenal fight, after which MacDonald has pretty much emerged as a top-five welterweight and, perhaps, the future of the division; and he decisioned the tough Jake Ellenberger before Ellenberger ran up some big wins. Tonight, everybody saw how tough and talented Condit was. A lot of people mail it in once GSP takes them down and keeps grinding on them. Not Condit. And his rousing assault in the third round was about as close as anyone's come to beating GSP since Matt Serra.
Given some more time, I'd expect GSP to make more impressive defenses at welter. Condit's performance tonight indicates that he is probably going to be in line for a title shot in the near future, because he's simply too skilled and game to be denied by anyone by the absolute best. How the UFC matches him in the near future will indicate what they want to happen. If tonight is any indication, he ought to be matched against exciting strikers so he can be built up again for another go
Pablo Garza: A-
"The Scarecrow" hustled to the biggest win of his career by steamrolling and grinding down Mark Hominick, in a bout where the 6'1 Garza looked a good 15 lbs. bigger at fight time. Using stifling top control and a steady work rate, Garza looked dead on the water after eating a brutal left hook to the liver in the bout, only to rally moments later and seize the momentum back from Hominick. Riding the Canadian hard down the stretch, Garza simply was too strong and crafty to be denied. It was a good win for him, and he's about as big a 145-pounder as I've seen in the game. The performance might be mitigated somewhat by Hominick's obvious slide - the defeat was his fourth straight - but a win's a win, and Garza got a big one tonight.
Rafael dos Anjos: C+
I know we're supposed to root for 155 pounders, but let's face it - virtually every card has a 155-lb. match that is a 95 percent chance to go the distance if you're even vaguely familiar with the guys involved. Dos Anjos and Bocek are exactly those types of guys. It's basically the 20-minute filler for a card. Rafael did what he had to do but it didn't really show fans much more than he can grapple in an MMA context a shade or two better than Bocek, which is kind of like saying you can shoot free throws better than Rick Barry. Even at 96 percent efficiency, you're still watching a guy shoot free throws. Yeah. He's boring. There. I said it. And this is coming from a guy whose favorite fighter is Jon Fitch - it's not like I ask a lot to be entertained, for god's sake. I'm a simple man, from Yelm, Washington. And Rafael dos Anjos bores me. Send the hate emails. I take none of it back.
Mark Bocek: C-
See above. I like Bocek as an athlete and respect his game. He's a tough 155er. But I probably got off to a bad start with the guy. The first time I ever saw him compete was at the Abu Dhabi North American Trials in 2002, in a marathon match with - wait for it - Antonio McKee. And if you thought McKee was boring in MMA, you can't imagine how mind-numbing it is to watch him in submission grappling. The only highlight of the bout was Marc Laimon yelling at Bocek to do stuff throughout, and getting to bullshit with Bruce Buffer all afternoon. I didn't even get that little bonus here tonight. I love me some unsolicited Marc Laimon yelling/coaching/cajoling. What was I talking about again?
Francis Carmont and Tom Lawlor: D
Styles make fights, or lack thereof, and this one should be filed under "bouts where one guy has barely enough takedown mojo to score one over 15 dreary minutes." This bout kinda reminded me of B.J. Penn-Matt Serra, with Lawlor playing Serra, and Carmont playing Penn, hopping around endlessly as Lawlor/Serra vied for a takedown for what seemed like hours, days, weeks. Carmont, apparently, took a decision; I went into the kitchen to reheat a burrito in the full confidence that I would miss nothing. Enough said. Lawlor still gets awesome style points for overall weigh-in creepiness and ring-entrance homages, but this match just didn't go anywhere.
Mark Hominick: D
After his epic stand in April 2011 against champ Jose Aldo, where he lost a gutty five-round war, Hominick since dropped three more fights, looking a shadow of his former self. The tragic death of longtime buddy and striking coach Shawn Tompkins hit all of the MMA community, and no doubt Hominick, whose close relationship with Tompkins was well-chronicled. He simply hasn't been the precise machine we're used to seeing in recent bouts, and tonight he looked woefully undersized and overpowered against Garza. With four straight defeats, the UFC may well release him which will give him the opportunity to perhaps take some time off and rebuild, or retire. He's had a long career and achieved a lot. But at this point, performing at this level, he's risking serious damage by continuing to compete, especially with his give-and-take style.
Martin Kampmann: F
Total disaster for Kampmann, who was taken out before he could get untracked. Coming off two miracle comeback wins over Thiago Alves and Jake Ellenberger, Kampmann's cachet coming into the bout was simple: he takes punishment, he fights back, and he wins. The first part turned out to be so true that the other two never got into the equation.
In a way, this could be a blessing in disguise for Kampmann. He might be used as a measuring stick for the likes of, say, an Erick Silva or another rising talent, now that his contender status has been scuttled for the time being. And that's exactly how he can sneak up on people again.
That said, though, I always thought Kampmann was best served in five-round fights. In a way I'm glad Hendricks won in rousing fashion. It was no mystery as to why Dana White held back on an automatic title shot for the Kampmann-Hendricks winner, as a legitimate school of thought could see Hendricks blanketing Kampmann to a ho-hum decision. Instead, we got a knockout highlight reel, which is great for Hendricks, and the UFC. Tonight just wasn't Kampmann's night. It will also be interesting to see how he rebounds from such a shocking knockout loss.

Um, you know that novel by John Cleland titled Fanny Hill?
I didn't find out until yesterday what KIND of a novel that is.
Whoa Nellie.
Google for info (unless you already know). I won't link to Google because (ahem) there are...illustrations...from the book there.
And here I thought Fanny Hill was akin to Pollyanna or something lame/stupid like that. I also wasn't aware it has a subtitle (which would have cued me in).
Considering all the reading I've done throughout life, including being familiar with The Classics (themes and authors in many cases) ... this was a real surprise.
What book/fiction shockers have you had?

It's all change for buses to hospital
6:32pm Sunday 25th November 2012 in News
BUS passengers travelling to Great Western Hospital will face changes to services in the New Year after NHS funding comes to an end.
Service 30, between Walcot East and GWH, is being withdrawn and service 24, which travels between Blunsdon and GWH, is being replaced by a new service 12 which will not provide an evening service to the hospital.
The changes are being made in response to passenger usage as well as the ending of NHS funding for bus services to GWH, which was only provided for a period of 10 years after the new hospital was built.
Thamesdown Transport services in the rest of Swindon will also be affected included service 20b, which travels between Greenbridge and the bus station, which is being withdrawn.
Paul Jenkins, managing director of Thamesdown, said: "We carried out an in-depth review of our network with the help of external consultants and the changes reflect current levels of passenger demand. This has meant some reductions to services at quieter times such as early morning, or on Saturdays. It has also resulted in some new facilities.
"We don't make such changes lightly as we appreciate that many of our passengers are regulars and rely on us for travel around Swindon. In the majority of instances, passengers whose services or stops have changed have alternatives available to them within a reasonable distance."
In 1999 as part of the redevelopment of the new hospital, the GWH NHS Foundation Trust agreed to subsidise a number of bus routes, via a section 106 agreement, for 10 years.
A spokesman for GWH said: "Funding was provided at that time through non-recurring funds made available to the Trust to help with the transfer from the old Princess Margaret Hospital to the GWH until the new hospital was fully established. The hospital opened in 2002 and therefore towards the end of this year, the original 10 year agreement is due to come to an end.
"We have a regular dialogue with Thamesdown to support them in providing adequate public transport to and from the hospital on the routes with highest demand and this dialogue will continue.
"Not all of the services due to come to an end by Thamesdown are ones previously subsidised by the Trust. Some are commercial routes and decisions about halting or changing them are decisions for the bus company and are not influenced by the agreement in place between the Trust and the council coming to an end."
The changes to the Thamesdown service routes and timings, which come into effect on January 6, will also see alterations to service 16, which travels between Fleming Way and GWH and service 20, which travels between the bus station and GWH.
Other services affected include service 11, 13/14, 15/15a, 17, 19/19a, 22, 27, 29 and 153.

Wonder how many bus services could have been maintained?
Lets not forget the daftness of stopping some services whilst evening visiting time is still going on. In case your CONsultants didn't tell TT that's between 6 and 8pm.
I wonder if there's any truth in the rumours that the TT Christmas party is at the Arkells brewery but consultants have had to be called in to organise it? ;-)

Tigers will use closer-by-committee
Rodney likely to get first chance; nothing certain afterward
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Fernando Rodney took the mound Wednesday donning Jim Leyland's No. 10 jersey as part of an April Fool's jersey gag the Tigers hastily organized. If Leyland has a one-run lead going into the ninth inning on Opening Day, he said, he'll be calling Rodney's number.
After that, it's far from certain.
"He could be, but it might not be just one guy. There may be somebody else that's involved at some point."
That someone else may or may not be Brandon Lyon. It could also be Joel Zumaya.
After saying a few weeks ago that he might not name anyone the closer, Leyland still hasn't. Whether it means Rodney has wrested the closer's job, time will tell. In any case, it means the expected ascension of Brandon Lyon to the job hasn't happened.
The Tigers signed Lyon to a one-year contract in January to bring him in and compete for the job. He was expected to win the role over Rodney, whom Leyland had said over the offseason had tremendous stuff but had to learn to control it and might not be a full-time closer.
An unexpected reversal happened along Lyon's way to the ninth inning. Rodney dominated early before giving up 11 earned runs on 11 hits in a four-outing stretch, covering 4 2/3 innings. Leyland cited the unsuccessful effort to hone Rodney's slider as a legitimate third pitch.
"I think Fernando Rodney's in the best shape he's been in since I've been here," Leyland said. "I think he was messing around with his slider a little bit early on. I think it got him off-kilter in the middle of the spring."
Rodney recovered from that to pitch two scoreless innings over the last three days.
"I think he's throwing the ball extremely well," Leyland said. "I think he's healthy and I think he'll have good year. His control's better. He will be and needs to be a big pitcher for us this year. And he needs to be a big pitcher for himself. He's a free agent [next winter]."
Rodney's opportunities might not come entirely in closing situations, and it might not mean that Lyon has lost a job he never officially had. But it's more of a mix than many expected.
Lyon has given up seven earned runs on 18 hits over 13 innings this spring. The bulk of that damage has come in his last four outings, starting with four straight homers against the Red Sox on March 23.
Rodney and Lyon had rough innings consecutively last Friday against the Braves, turning a 2-0 eighth-inning lead into a 3-2 loss. They've each pitched twice since.
Zumaya, meanwhile, is pitching in Minor League Spring Training games as he prepares to open the season on the DL. But his return, if and when it happens, could add to the mix.
"We may have some options," Leyland said. "We may have a guy that's two weeks away or a month from joining the team who might be a candidate. We might have Lyon. We might have [Ryan] Perry."
