The Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission lifted the former UFC fighter's suspension at noon ET on Wednesday because, according to Executive Director Greg Sirb, "he met all our medical requirements."
Sirb refused to go into detail as to what Marquardt had to do to meet the commission's requirements in order to get his suspension lifted.
MMA Junkie first reported the news earlier in the day.
Marquardt was not medically cleared to fight Rick Story at UFC Live on Versus 4 last month in Pittsburgh after a blood test administered on the day of the weigh-ins showed his testosterone levels to be outside the commission's accepted levels. Moments later, the UFC fired the former middleweight contender.
Marquardt discussed why his testosterone levels were high on a recent episode of The MMA Hour. For much more on the situation, click here.
According to Kelly Crigger, Vice President of Communications for Alchemist Management, the free agent Marquardt, one of Alchemist's top clients, is currently "talking to everybody."
"He absolutely he wants to fight again this year, for sure," Crigger said.
Crigger said that Marquardt had not yet decided where and at which weight he will fight next, but mentioned "The Great" had been approached by the likes of Bellator, DREAM and many other smaller promotions.
The 32-year-old Marquardt is currently 31-10-2 in his professional MMA career.

From shop hops to sales, QuiltingHub's unmatched listings are the most significant innovation for quilters since the quilting machine
ORLANDO, Fla., June 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Summer means vacations and road trips; millions of people will leave their homes and offices behind and explore everything America's highways and byways have to offer. For quilters, that means discovering hidden gems, like out-of-the way shops, little-known museums, and special events. QuiltingHub (http://www.quiltinghub.com/) makes this possible with its ingenious trip planner tool.

"No other site comes close to the number of quilting events we have listed at QuiltingHub. Our trip planner tool, for example, is unique among quilting sites," remarked Founder Paul Johnson. "That's why we've earned the #1 rating from QuiltingEvents.com and watched our traffic quickly surpass our competitors."
The trip planner is user friendly, current and, most of all, accurate. Quilters preparing for a long road trip simply enter their starting and ending locations – a city and state is all that's necessary – and watch the map populate with interesting attractions. The planner displays all shows, sales and shop hops within a designated radius of the route. For those looking for a best time to travel, searching the route over the course of a year will provide a visual of different events happening throughout the year along the route. Users also have the option of refining both the search radius and choosing what's displayed on the map.
"As an example, a road trip from Washington, DC to Davenport, Iowa would take you through some beautiful countryside, not to mention put you in shouting distance of dozens of remarkable quilt shops," explained Johnson. "Pennsylvania, Ohio and the Midwest are home to some of the country's best traditional quilters, particularly within smaller communities and Amish or Mennonite settlements. Without the help of QuiltingHub's trip planner, it would be impossible to discover every quilt shop, show, shop hop and sale along this route."
By default, the maps (those without a destination) on QuiltingHub show everything that might be of interest to quilters, including guilds, museums and service providers. This feature is especially beneficial when the destination has been reached, or when one makes an extended stop along the way. Going back to the previous route, the map of Davenport reveals enticing destinations throughout Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin.
For shop proprietors or museum directors, the benefits of being listed on QuiltingHub, the leading site in the quilting niche, are obvious. Having an accurate page listing, complete with contact information, could be the difference between languishing in obscurity or seeing business steadily grow. Those locations slightly off the beaten path likely stand to benefit the most.
QuiltingHub is also curated by the quilting community, which ensures that all information is relevant and up-to-date. From the home and search pages, anyone can add or suggest a shop, museum, guild/group, service or event to the site's listings.
About QuiltingHub
QuiltingHub is the brainchild of Florida native Paul Johnson. He was introduced to the idea for the site by patrons of a quilt shop in November 2009; they suggested the need for a better way to find shops, as well as a more exhaustive listing of important events. Initially, Johnson imagined spending about a year developing the site. Three years later, QuiltingHub became a reality. Within eight months of launch, the site had more quilting events listed than any other website in the world.
Johnson loves art quilts, well-laid-out fabric in shops, solving problems, and helping people. With a Master's Degree in Computer Science, he ran his own financial services company for seven years. He also enjoys teaching, learning new things, and cats. In his spare time, he helps people with Alzheimer's disease.

He's the little boy who has captured our hearts. We're checking in on a little boy after his life-saving transplant surgery. He's making good progress and today got a special treat.
It's onward and upward for 7-year-old Weston Keeton, to see him now get out of bed not panting for breath it's a miracle.
After a 2 and a half year wait, Weston was given a life-saving surgery -- a double lung and heart transplant at CHOP just two weeks before Christmas.
Weston's mom, Julie, says her family prays for the donor family everyday she will be forever grateful for the gift that saved her son's life.
Weston has been off and on a breathing tube since the surgery. He's still on oxygen 24-7 while his body continues to adjust to the transplant...and his muscles grow stronger.
But overall, Julie says Weston has made incredible progress.
"Getting up was a huge step in recovery seeing that he wanted to walk and cycle around," Julie said. "To see him now get out of bed not panting for breath it's a miracle."
Weston certainly now has his appetite back! He was treated to one of his favorite restaurants Chickies and Pete's. The restaurant is hosting a poker tournament fundraiser for the little fighter to help his family with expenses.

You mean the Irish Rural Destruction Association ... (Oh the smug D4-ness of it!! )Lobby wrote:the Irish Rural Dwellers Association
You mean no-one explained to them that someone actually has to pay tax to keep their lifestyles going?FIN wrote:trying to rebuild the wall around the pale i hope.
ar maybe trying to dig the rest of the tunnel around it so it can be floated back to britain
That's a calm and reasonable way of putting it. I should just leave it there, but unfortunately I'm not in a calm mood.Thomond Park wrote:No-one has raised the costs of Galway or Sligo related projects of which the benefits of are equally specific to the location but are done in the interests of civic amenity.
Are you saying that Cork taxpayers should complain about Eyre Square?
Feel free to go on all you like. But be sure to make use of the regional income figures produced by CSO. They clearly show (page 13 of this attachment) that Western region households pay €1,093 million in tax, but receive €1,318 in social transfers. So you can be quite confident that any tax you pay stays local, along with an extra €225 million net in subsidies.FIN wrote:i know. it's terrible i pay tax for...
m50, tunnel,luas,spike,etc,etc,etc,etc
we have all been through this before so i won't go on.
What's bizarre is not just that Westerners seem to find it physically impossible to recognise the plain fact that they are subsidised by the East. They actually try to reverse reality by pretending that they make a contribution to national finances. Whatever facilities Dublin has, including those providing national services, have been largely paid for by its own residents.• A higher share of young people go to college than anywhere else in the country
• 56% of all 17-18 year olds in Galway and 55% in Mayo and Sligo go to college — compared with 44% nationally
Children also start out on the right foot as primary schools in the West generally have smaller class sizes.
Average pupil-teacher ratios in primary schools are considerably lower than in Dublin and surrounding counties e.g. an average of about 17 pupils per teacher in Mayo compared with 22 pupils in Kildare.
Typical Western evasion on being presented with the facts. What the nice stats presented by the Western Development Commission mean is that the West is educationally advantaged because of the public funds invested in the region. For example, I remember noticing last year that the Castlebar campus of GMIT had the distinction of being the only non-private third level college where the entry requirements for courses was a bare leaving cert.FIN wrote:that's a nice stat. we go to college more. what is your point there? i can only assume that you are saying that we are more intelligent. lower class sizes...it may be very true because there isn't that big a population here. )
That's because you've opted for a dispersed settlement pattern, with all the social costs that implies. Cut down on the one-off housing, concentrate on developing one or two towns, and you'll start seeing a change.FIN wrote: our children have to get educated and go to college to get anywhere in life. and basically leave the region.
You make no net contribution, either looked at as a group or per capita. You receive a subsidy from central government – which essentially means a transfer of resources from Dublin and the Mid East region. Your suggestion that Western taxpayers make a contribution to Dublin is simply wrong, and that is the core point I want you to concede. I don't have a problem with the idea that national resources should be shared. I just want to you to acknowledge the plain fact that this happens, and to give up your wrong and insulting suggestion that the Dublin region does not share its resources.FIN wrote:the reason we pay less is because there is less people here.
The Western Development Commission information confirms you are educationally advantaged compared to other regions.FIN wrote:we have less services so we pay less services charges.
It is simply a fact, based on CSO data, that this is the case. I cannot understand why, other that for reasons of pure embarrassment, you cannot simply acknowledge this plain, documented fact. After all, you were quick enough to suggest that Western taxpayers paid for the M50 although this is patent nonsense.FIN wrote:it is the sheer arogance to think that jackeens pay for the lifestyle we have outside the pale
This is simply not true – all regions got a poke out of EU funds, while the cities suffered in the early part of our EU membership as traditional industries closed – not having any benefit from CAP.FIN wrote: throughout the years all the european money has gone to improving the road network around the pale. i am not saying this is a bad thing as it is the capital and has the biggest population but don't tell me we are better off.
Earlier, you were complaining about people needing to leave the region. The process that includes one-off housing is one of the things that screws the West. If you see no problem with farmers selling sites, then please don't complain about the social cost.FIN wrote: it is true that farmers are getting paid to do nothing with their lands and can then sell sites off but why not.
As the CSO and Western Development Commission material documents, your statement is false on both counts.FIN wrote: they pay their way. not as much as others i admit but they don't get the same service.
Now you are adding bluster to evasion. The simple fact is that Western students have nearby colleges with lower entry requirements. This is clearly one of the reasons they have higher participation rates. Another is the higher level of resourcing at primary level.FIN wrote:ha,ha...you are so blinded my friend.
i thought firstly that the cao was country wide so everyone can avail of the 'bare leaving cert' ( whatever that means ) gmit castlebar campus. this campus happens to be in the west. so what!
i am not evading anything at all. and what facts? you said we go to college more. i suppose it doesn't fit in with yours and a lot like you that the culchies should live in thatched cottages and the like. it is that sort of ignorant shite that had this country on it's knees for 50 years. but it does remind me of a joke i heard.... what does the average dubliner call a culcie? boss.
You choose it through the local authorities that you elect.FIN wrote:we did not choose the settlement pattern as you suggest. it is borne out of necessity.
I'm not pushing anything on anyone. I'm simple saying you have to accept the consequences of the choices you make, and not blame what flows from your decisions on Dublin people.FIN wrote: why would you push your idea of a way to live on anyone else. your arogance has made you assume that your way is the only way.
I've already posted a link to the CSO publication that documents the fact that the Western region is a net recipient of state funds, so I really cannot understand why you have not conceded this point.FIN wrote: i said that i made a contribution to dublin. it is entirely true. as was pointed out in another thread and as you say it goes to centrral government. now if you can prove that every cent that i have paid goes into the west then by all means go for it
Your point about the infrastructure being lacking outside Dublin is frequently crowd pleasing, but utterly untrue. As has been said elsewhere, contrast the congestion at Dublin Airport with the way that the West is paved with underutilised airports. Infrastructure is only provided in Dublin long after the need has become critical, becuase of the petty begrudgery caused by any investment in the capital.FIN wrote:
i would be delighted to know that but also pretty pissed off as what did they spend it on? we have no proper roads. but this isn't just a western thing as you are trying to make it. this is all around the country outside the pale.i am from the west and living here,
Bizarrely, you said this in response to material I was quoting from the Western Development Commission in Ballaghaderreen. Like many people living in Dublin, I am well acquainted with the West, and the plain fact that it shows the benefits of the preferential treatment in receives. Unfortunately, people in the West seem less aware of the world outside their region.FIN wrote: ha,ha...have you ever visited the west or anywhere outside dublin. i would suggest a trip and go see some schools.
The social cost of one-off housing includes having a settlement pattern unsuited to attracting employment, which means people need to leave. You complained about people having to leave to find work, yet said you had no problem with farmers selling sites. Those sites would be used for one-off housing.FIN wrote:i wasn't complaining. i told the fact. i did myself but i was lucky enough that i could return. how does one-off house screw up the west? and i never complained about the social cost at all. i suggest you rerad what i type.
FIN wrote:( thomond park : i don't use patrick street in cork. that argument is utter nonsense just like your arguments in a previous thread )
The Irish Rural Dwellers Association was formed a year ago in order to safeguard people's rights who have been refused planning permission in rural areas in this country.
It has been found that at a stroke of a pen vast areas of very valuable land in rural areas and villages have had value of such property reduced to nil and that even family members cannot get planning permission on their own land while housing and hotels can be built on The Ridge Pool in Ballina or on the Garavogue in Sligo.
Inside the year they have done quite a lot of research and have come up with interesting facts and have issued a press release on the matter.
The Irish Rural Dwellers Association established a year ago to unite rural people in the face of mounting pressures on the future of rural communities, have exposed what may well be the main cause of refusals for houses in the open countryside and corresponding pressures to move people into towns and villages. Reaction against the entire planning regime as if affects rural houses is countrywide and large turnouts at IRDA meetings reflect the hurt, frustration and anger of ordinary people who can't build houses for their families – often on family owned land.
"The planning regime is undemocratic, anti-people and out of control" says a spokesman for the IRDA. "A root and branch change is now essential including radical legislative change".
Pointing out that the traditional Irish housing pattern based on the townland (baile fearann) stretching back thousands of years which is uniquely different from England and mainland Europe, has become almost entirely dominated by an English planning philosophy, the spokesman said that the IRDA are determined to see control of planning policy brought back to elected Irish politicians.
Until recently, Town Planners educated in Ireland graduated without any rural qualification. Available journals and planning literature are predominately English. Most graduates are accredited by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) in London. In addition, many Irish planners received their education in colleges in England.
Speaking at a public meeting in Macroom on June 23rd Kieran Lynch, ex senior planning executive and consultant lecturer, agreed with Jim Connolly of the IRDA, that the Irish Planning regime is UK influenced. "We have failed to produce an Irish planning philosophy so far" he said.
In An Bord Pleanala's annual report for 2001, the Chairman John O'Connor states that the majority of extra resources (including 50 planners) brought in to cope with the increased workload are UK based.
As well, the RTPI have set up an Irish Planning Policy Panel with an office in Clare. A discussion paper published in July 2002 is intended to influence Irish Planning Policy. The RTPI have only three regional branches worldwide i.e. Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. When asked the reason for their Irish Planning Policy (they have no other such panel outside Ireland) a spokespersonf or the RTPI in London said "because of the long historical links between England and Ireland, because they don't really consider Ireland to be 'abroad' and because they have so much members working in planning authorities in Ireland".
"This is not a case of Brit bashing - The IRDA would be equally opposed to an alien planning philosophy being imposed on the Irish people from Germany, France or any other country" the spokesman said.
Individual planners have huge powers of personal discretion in recommending permission or refusal for houses. Inconsistencies abound everywhere. Concern for Irish culture and traditional rural community life is completely ignored in the current regime. It is further largely undermined by an influx of planners from many other countries around the world who make decisions in Ireland without any understanding of Irish traditions and without being obliged by the D.O.E. to do any course whatsoever in Irish history or related subjects before being allowed to practise here.
"The IRDA believe it is a small wonder that rural people and people wanting to live there are suffering, frustrated, angry and demanding change. They have lost all respect for planning authorities and see them as the successors of the landlords who tried to depopulate Ireland in the 19th Century.
"It is a very serious matter for democracy when people lose respect for institutions of the State or state sponsored private bodies like An Taisce. These institutions cannot function in the long term in any democracy without the respect and support of the tax payers who pay their wages.
The IRDA are running a conference on 'Positive Planning for houses in the Open Countryside and Vibrant Rural Communities' in Caherciveen on the 3rd and 4th of October. Details are available at 065-9058229.

Max Igan really sums it up for me Chris.
Excellent conclusions often are just this simple. All of the retoric and dogma of how to conquer this or how to do away with that is worthless to pursue, if all you get at the end is a forming of a new goverment or freedom for a planet or social justice etc... The truth of the matter is that it takes 2 to tango and I have pondered this point for many years with friends and collegues.
It is actually very simple if you go far enough down the worm hole or rabbit hole.
There is no one without the other. If we have tyranny it must have resolution. If we have peace, there must be wars. If we have destruction then there must be reconstruction. If we have white, then there must be black. None of the above mentioned dynamics of reality can exist without the opposite and opposing forces existing with it. One can not exist without the other. Maybe that is why mankind has been so hell bent on warfare and destruction for eon's. Is it possible that we have been conditioned for the yin and yan of everything that we come in contact with in our lives so that we actually give its reciprical meaning ?
We seem to be beings who give meaning to everything around us and without us observing any of it, it just can't exist. I rhink we are the creators of all of our life experiences good or bad because without either one of these necessary ingredients, the other one simply can not exist.
Hoping we finally see the light of our own darkness one day.
Max Igan seems to have some of the answers. Seems like he asks a lot of questions as well.
THIS is the explaination of our REAL World--A MUST LISTEN to all trying to add a reality to a disfunctional life. Christopher, thanks Bud for making this available.
Excellent vidoes.. but all who will make a difference have to bring forth the courage from within to drive the passion to make the difference

I have witnessed transpiration bag method work very well. It seems a black plastic (garbage) bag draws more dew in the sunlight quicker than the clear plastic bag. Consider one caution while choosing different tree/bushes to bag. You might want to avoid black cherry (Prunus serotina) as it off-gasses hydrogen cyanide in levels that may be detrimental to humans. I do not know if there is sufficient data in this area presently. reference: TOXICOLOGICAL PROFILE FOR CYANIDE, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, July 2006

Matt Shakman stages the production that began previews Oct. 8 and will run through Nov. 17 in the Gil Cates Theater. Jeffrey Hatcher, who penned the new adaptation, has reset the tale in the 1940s. The original, which starred Lee Remick on stage (and Audrey Hepburn in the classic film), was set in the mid 1960s. The play was last revived on Broadway in 1998 starring Marisa Tomei and Quentin Tarantino.
Pill ("Newsroom," The House of Blue Leaves, The Lieutenant of Inishmore) plays Susan Hendrix in a cast that also includes Brighid Fleming as Gloria, Rod McLachlan as Carlino, Matt McTighe as Sam, Adam Stein as Roat and Mather Zickel as Mike.
"In this version, she is mean, she is funny, she is vulnerable and she's awful in those vulnerable moments, too," said Pill, who stars in the central role of the updated production. "She's a person, and she's had a really bad day." Read the full interview with Pill, director Shakman and adapter Hatcher here.
Here's how it's billed: "A ground-breaking thriller, Wait Until Dark follows a blind Greenwich Village woman who finds herself in the middle of a con. And a murder. Who is in on it? Desperate and depraved thieves believe Susan is in possession of their big score and set in motion a manipulative psychological war on her vulnerable state. That is, until Susan plunges herself and the audience into the dark in which she exists using it to her advantage."
The production has set design by Craig Siebels, costume design by E.B. Brooks, lighting design by Elizabeth Harper, music and sound design by Jonathan Snipes, fight direction by Ned Mochel and Amy Levinson as dialect coach.

A snowy start to the week could herald more wintery conditions for Norwood, according to the National Weather Service.
A Winter Weather Advisory was in effect through 7 this morning, with a chance of snow predicted through 10 a.m. Slick roadways and poor visibility are possible, as well as blowing and drifting of snow due to the wind and the light nature of the precipitation.
Tuesday night through Thursday are predicted to be clear, but with temperatures between 1 and 18 degrees.
A chance of snow is predicted again for Friday and Saturday, with limited accumulation.
According to the Centers for Disease Control:
When winter temperatures drop significantly below normal, staying warm and safe can become a challenge. Extremely cold temperatures often accompany a winter storm, so you may have to cope with power failures and icy roads. Although staying indoors as much as possible can help reduce the risk of car crashes and falls on the ice, you may also face indoor hazards. Many homes will be too cold—either due to a power failure or because the heating system isn't adequate for the weather. When people must use space heaters and fireplaces to stay warm, the risk of household fires increases, as well as the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Exposure to cold temperatures, whether indoors or outside, can cause other serious or life-threatening health problems. Infants and the elderly are particularly at risk, but anyone can be affected.
Do you enjoy the cold? Are you counting down the days until spring? How do you keep warm around town? Tell us in the comments!

Italy, along with Spain and Latin America is one of the countries that still maintains its culture of recreational dancing. Swide describes the history of dance in Italy as well as some of the most popular folk dances.
Mariano Pallottini's insight:
Jesús Cervantes's curator insight, August 14, 8:05 AM
From a Spanish viewpoint folk dancing is a tradition which has been maintained all around the country in different ways and styles according to the particular character of the territory in question. Therefore a "muñeira" from Galicia, a "sardana" from Catalonia or a "fandango" from La Mancha have some connection among one another but they are a reflection of the history of these very different peoples.
Although folk dancing is not always well understood or respected as the popular expression of tradition that it is, we (and in particular I mean our authorities, be it local, regional or national) should be aware of the danger of losing a heartfelt manifestation of the most sincere and authentic feeling of a community's historic way of being.

Retracing the history of an icon of Italian style: the Vespa
Mariano Pallottini's insight:
Piaggio sold some 2,500 Vespas in 1947, over 10,000 in 1948, 20,000 in 1949, and over 60,000 in 1950.
The biggest sales promo ever was Hollywood.
Vespa clubs popped up throughout Europe, and by 1952, worldwide Vespa Club membership had surpassed 50,000. By the mid-1950s, Vespas were being manufactured under licence in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and Spain; in the 1960s, production was started in India, Brazil and Indonesia.
By 1956, one million had been sold, then two million by 1960. By the 1960s, the Vespa—originally conceived as a utility vehicle—had come to symbolize freedom and imagination, and resulted in further sales boosts: four million by 1970, and ten million by the late 1980s.

Travel with Swide to find out the highlights of Italy: this time we take you to Umbria, the green land of beautiful landscapes.
Italy is regarded as a fairly small country, but as small as it may be there is a lot to see. Swide tells you what you can't miss with our Travel Guide to Italy. This time we take you to Umbria. From Perugia to smaller towns here is what you can't miss.
Located in central Italy, Umbria is the only Italian region having neither a coastline nor a common border with other countries. Like the nearby Tuscany, the Region is known for its history, traditions and beautiful landscapes. Umbria is bordered by Tuscany to the west, Marche to the east and Lazio to the south. Partly hilly and partly flat it has a variety of landscapes difficult to reach in other Regions. [...]
Every year we try and head over to Castelluccio where the famous lentils of Umbria are grown. One of the most famous centerpieces of the area is the Piano Grande, a huge 16 square kilometer plain surrounded by the barren Sibillini mountain range that once was a glacier lake. This entire area falls in the Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini, one of the most recently established Italian national parks, which is divided between Le Marche and Umbria. The Piano Grande attracts tourists from across the globe every spring and summer when the plains are covered in a breathtaking abundance of wildflowers called the fioritura. This area is also responsible for growing Umbria's famous lentils, Lenticchie di Castelluccio, which are named for the small village that overlooks the plains. [...]

I was eager to visit and explore the Etruscan Necropolis of Monterozzi at Tarquinia, in Northern Lazio, after reading about the painted burial chambers that are preserved here. I caught the local bus from Tarquinia train station into the centre, and then it was not too far to walk to the necropolis on the outskirts of town.
The most impressive frescoes for me were found in the Tomb of the Leopards. The main strip of mural depicts a lavish banqueting scene in honour of the dead, including several couples tended by two young boys. The men have darker skin while the women are lighter. The side walls of the burial chamber are painted with people bringing dishes, playing instruments and dancing among pretty foliage. Although the drawing is quite simple, it is amazing to see such strong colours bursting out of a fresco that dates back to around 450 BC. [...]

Sicily is full of history and culture and it's hard to pick among a wide range of locations if you are planning a visit – or if you are just curious about the highlights of this Region. This week we take the tour of whole Sicily just as you should do if you are visiting it this summer.
Mariano Pallottini's insight:
Italy with its passions for architecture, regional rivalry, and history has some of the world's most historic and beautiful bridges. We take you through a list of just seven of them:
This itinerary is a journey immersed in the ancient roman ruins dedicated to the great Emperors of History. You can see the imperial palaces, the ruins of the ancient squares and places which used to be the center of roman social life.
It is highly recommended to walk from one place to another since all the locations are in the city center.
Time Required:
To visit the sites mentioned it takes about 8 hours, depending on how much time you decideto stopin each site.
The itinerary starts from Venice Square, (Piazza Venezia) that you can easily reach by bus from Termini Train Station. From here walk along Via dei Fori Imperiali, a famous roman street where you can admire the beautiful ancient ruins of the city. At the beginning of the street, on the left, there's the Mercato Traiano, designed by Apollodorus of Damascus in 107 BC. The building is split into multiple floors and was originally intended for commercial and public functions. Walking down the main street you'll arrive in front of the Roman Forum, the old Republican square considered a symbolic place by Roman emperors. After the ancient forum go straight to the Roman Colosseum, the most recognizable monument of Rome, also known as the Anfiteatro Flavio. We suggest you to enter inside to admire the magnificence of the place and imagine what it looked like when the gladiators were struggle in. From the Colosseum you can also see the Palatine Hill, an archeological area that contains the old Emperor's residences, arches and temples. Take Via Celio Vibenna and continue along Via di San Gregorio. Continuing down the street for about 800 meters you get to Circus Maximus, the oldest Roman stadium, a place where ancient competitions and sports events were held. Making the rounds of the stadium arriving at the south end, you'll find the Temple of Ercules and the Arch of Janus both magnificent examples of classical Roman architecture. Continuing up Via del Teatro Marcello on your left you'll see the Theater of Marcellus which was the largest theater in ancient Rome. The tour ends just behind the theater in the Jewish Ghetto which preserves the remains of the Portico of Ottavia.

Beginning on this day, July 31, 1571, the Jews of Tuscany were restricted to residing within a ghetto, and were to stay there for 277 years. Their confinement persisted until the abolishment of the ghetto in 1848.
The history of the Jewish community of Florence, today the capital city of Tuscany, goes back to the end of the 14th century, when Jewish bankers from the south of Italy were first given permission to settle in the city. By 1428, a group of Jewish financiers had met there and organized a loan to Pope Martin V, in return for a promise of protection. Nine years later marked the official founding of the city's Jewish community, with the establishment of several Jewish banks.
As was the case in most of Christian Europe, the conditions of Florence's Jews oscillated, depending on external political conditions, and the particular needs of the ruler in whose hands their fate lay. In the case of the Republic of Florence, the Medici family ruled for most of the time from the 15th century through the early decades of the 18th century, with a wide variety of different attitudes toward the Jews.

Wednesday's Child celebrates National Adoption Month today with one of the most heart-warming adoption success stories in the valley. Dave Courvoisier takes us into a home where with 10 children, and half of them are adopted.
'Never a dull moment with this family. All the kids you see playing here are special needs, medically fragile, adopted children... All thriving because of this couple: Kim and Rick.
"They bring a smile to my face every morning. Every morning! every morning I get up," says adoptive mother, Kim.
Kim feels a calling to help kids. On the streets herself at age 12, pregnant at 15... She knows how disconnected foster kids feel.
"I get it. I know what it's like not to know where you to be from one day to the next, or if you have someone to care for you, or to hold your hand. I know what that's like," Kim admits.
Together with Kim 26 years, Rick said he always knew he'd have a big family.
"When I was young I always want a lot of kids you know when I grow up I want to have 10 kids why I said that I didn't know lo and behold, we have 10 kids," says Adoptive Dad, Rick, laughing.
Kim home-schools her kids until grade 9. Older kids help with the younger ones. It's a busy house, but they make it work.
"I know I'm making a difference in their life, and that makes me happy. I'm doing something for somebody else, and that's what we should all be about is doing something else," explains Kim.
"It's about saving the children. That's what it's about. They are our future and if nobody you know give back to them. What will they have to give to society?" asks Rick.
Both Kim and Rick offer this encouragement to anyone considering adoption:
"Make it jump of faith. Lean on what your heart is telling you not which are mind is telling you. Because each one of these kids have a story to tell. And you need to be part of that book," says Kim.
Hundreds of children are adoptable here in Las Vegas.
You can begin the process right away by calling the Adoption Exchange at 436-6335.

Mortuary Bundle Discovered in Central Mexico
ZIMAPAN, MEXICO—A unique mortuary bundle containing the skeletal remains of a young adult was discovered in a rock shelter in the Sierra Gorda region. "The skeleton seems to be complete, but we will not know this with certainty until we can open the shroud, but at first glance we can appreciate the cranium, tibias, clavicles, scapula, and some ribs," archaeologist Juan Manuel Toxtle Farfan of Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History told Art Daily. The cranium still has hair. A specialist will have to analyze the colored fabric and mat that make up the bundle before it can be opened and the bones closely examined, but Toxtle Farfan and Ariana Aguilar Romero think the bundle is pre-Hispanic. "It is known that in the Mesoamerican beliefs, caves and other rocky refuges were considered entrances to the underworld and the residence of death deities, which is why they served as funerary spaces in most cases," Toxtle Farfan explained.
Iron Age Industrial Hearth Found in Cornwall
PORTHLEVEN, ENGLAND—According to The Falmouth Packet, an Iron Age industrial hearth and a Bronze Age settlement have been discovered in southwest England. The hearth is the first of its kind to be found in Cornwall, where strong winds would have fanned the flames. Community archaeologist Richard Mikulski says that the hearth was stone-lined and had a flue to control the fire. Impressions in the baked clay could have been left by pots that were fired there, and there's also evidence of metalworking. Nearby, Mikulski has found round houses and stones that may have been used for processing wheat into flour during the Bronze Age.
Binchester Roman Fort Yields Well-Preserved Ring, Walls
BISHOP AUCKLAND, ENGLAND—Excavations at Binchester Roman Fort have uncovered the seven-foot-tall walls of a bath house and a small plunge bath. "There is also some really interesting evidence for the plumbing, including a drain in the base which seems to line up with some of the culverts we've picked out in the nearby floor, as well as some gaps within the wall which may have originally contained lead piping or some other mechanism for channeling the water," David Petts of Durham University told Culture 24. The bath house was also equipped with a bread oven and an altar dedicated to the Roman goddess Fortune the Home-bringer. Other finds include a large rectangular cavalry barrack for stables and troops, and a four-seat latrine. A silver ring with an intaglio that shows two fish hanging from an anchor suggests an early link to Christianity. "The form of the ring and the shape of the stone seem to indicate a third century date. This is a surprisingly early date for a Christian object in Britain," Petts explained.
Replica Nazi Defenses Studied in Scotland
DUNBLANE, SCOTLAND—Battlefield archaeologist Tony Pollard of the University of Glasgow and Janice Ainslie of Dunblane Museum are studying a concrete wall built at Sheriffmuir in 1943. The ten-foot-tall wall, which was constructed according to plans stolen from German engineers by French painter Rene Duchez, replicated the German concrete defenses that stretched from Norway to the Spanish border. "A lot of the training for D-Day was done at this wall. Training grounds like this were key in bringing units together that had never fought before and giving them real world experience," Pollard told The Herald Scotland. Laser scans of the wall may help the researchers determine what kinds of weapons were used in training. And Pollard may excavate at the site of the gun turrets at one end of the wall. Sand, rumored to have been dumped in front of the wall to recreate the conditions on France's beaches, could be found.
Strange Burials in the Burnt City
SISTAN-BALUCHISTAN, IRAN—More than 1,000 burials have been excavated at the site of the Burnt City in Iran over the past thirty years, but few are stranger than two recent discoveries, according to a report in the Teheran Times. In one burial, archaeologists found the skeleton of an adult man with two dog skulls above his head and 12 human skulls on the side of his grave, and in another, a young man who died between 25 and 30 years old who was buried with his skull and two daggers or cutting tools sitting next to his head on his lower right side. Project director Seyyed Mansur Sajjadi believes that the tools had been used to decapitate the man who was executed for some offense, and then buried with bowls and vases commonly used for funeral rituals. Another unusual burial contained six skulls and various human long bones, all of which lead Sajjadi to wonder what new insights can be gained into the burial practices of the ancient inhabitants of this region more than five thousand years ago.
"Last of the Mohicans" Site Excavated
LAKE GEORGE, NEW YORK—The AP reports that a team led by Plymouth State University archaeologist David Starbuck is digging at Lake George Battlefield Park, a stretch of ground south of Lake George that saw significant military action during the eighteenth century, particularly during the French and Indian War (1755-63). In 1755, Colonial troops and their Mohawk allies fought a battle there against French detachments, successfully fending off an ambush and subsequent attack. In 1757, British and Colonial troops camped at the site during the French siege of the nearby Fort William Henry. After the surrender of the fort to the French, the colonial forces began a retreat from the camp, but were ambushed by Indians, who killed some 200. The infamous massacre inspired James Fenimore Cooper to write the "The Last of the Mohicans." Starbuck hopes to find evidence related to both the 1755 battle and the camp associated with the massacre. So far, the team has uncovered mainly fragments of eighteenth-century wine bottles.
Possible Celtic Inscription Deciphered in Spain
BETANZOS, SPAIN—A long-overlooked and enigmatic inscription on the buttress of a fourteenth-century church in Spain's Galicia region is attracting new attention thanks to researchers who claim to have deciphered it. The Local reports that a group of scholars believe the inscription was written in a Gaelic language, the first direct written evidence of the area's Celtic heritage, and reads simply "An Ghaltacht," or "Gaelic-speaking area." The researchers are part of the Gaelaico Project, a private effort that brings together linguists, geographers, and historians to search for evidence of Galicia's Celtic history and specifically its close ties to Ireland, which many specialists have hitherto dismissed as pseudo-history. "If our interpretation is right, the inscription isn't related to religious matters, but rather to the language that was spoken in Galicia at the time," said Gaelaico Project head Martín Fernández Maceiras. The team is hoping to get a second opinion on the inscription from outside epigraphists.
Flint Tools Tell Story of Economic Territory
DONOSTIA, SPAIN—The study of flint remains from the Ametzagaina site has revealed the economic territory of the people who made temporary camps there over a period of about 2,000 years some 25,000 years ago. Most open-air sites do not survive, but Ametzagaina was protected by earthworks dug in the nineteenth century during the Carlist Wars. The people who camped at Ametzagaina collected flint from the same territory where they hunted, gathered, and fished. "Flint was their steel, but it was not abundant, they had to know the locations where there were seams, they made their way there, they rough-hewed it on the spot and returned to their camps just with whatever they could make use of," Álvaro Arrizabalaga of the University of the Basque Country told Phys.org.
Medieval Graffiti Recorded in England's Churches
NORFOLK, ENGLAND—A volunteer project to record medieval graffiti in Norfolk is spreading across England. More than 28,000 images, perhaps doodled by churchgoers, have been recorded in Norfolk, and only one-third of Norwich Cathedral has been searched so far. "[Medieval graffiti] was believed to be rare—turns out it's not," Matt Champion, a medieval archaeologist who started the program in 2010, told BBC News. Images of compass designs, windmills, sundials, circles, and ships have been documented. "Are they thanksgiving for a voyage safely undertaken, or a prayer for safe passage on a journey yet to come? Some of these ship images appear to show deliberate damage, begging the question whether they are prayers for long overdue ships," he explained.
Scraps of Medieval Linen Unearthed in England
NORTHAMPTON, ENGLAND—The excavation of the site of Northamptonshire's new county council headquarters has uncovered scraps of medieval linen and a piece of serpentine marble that may have been part of a portable altar. The pieces of linen were found in the base of a large, timber and stone-lined tank that was probably part of a tanning complex. "Some very nice pieces of antler, a lovely collection of honestones for sharpening knives, two scraps of medieval linen, and a good preservation of industrial features have been uncovered," Jim Brown of the Museum of London Archaeology told BBC News. A medieval bread oven, an early thirteenth-century well shaft, and trading tokens were also recovered.
Multicultural Cemetery Discovered at Ostia
ROME, ITALY—Current excavations at Ostia, Rome's ancient port city at the estuary of the Tiber River, have uncovered a 2,700-year-old cemetery containing a variety of styles among its dozen tombs. Lead curse tablets warding off potential looters were also found. "What is original is that there are different types of funeral rites: burials and cremations," Paola Germoni, director of Ostia, told Art Daily. The cemetery was found on the edge of the main excavated area of the town.

Dead baby's parents urged: 'Don't miss funeral'
Greater Manchester Police is urging the parents of the baby that was found on Ox Hey Lane, Lostock, on Thursday 14 March, to come forward. It is expected that representatives from the Bolton Council of Mosques will begin planning the funeral today, which is expected to take place on Tuesday.
The baby was born alive and lived independently for up to two hours; however officers are still trying to find out what happened and who the parents are.
– Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Jackson
We would be really keen to give the baby a name that means something to the parents.
I am grateful to members of the local community who have offered to cover the funeral costs.
I would very much like for the parents to be involved with the preparations for the funeral of their child.
If you think you can come forward...we will try and get you the help and support that you need.
– Bolton Council of Mosques (BCOM)
It has been requested that this baby be given an Islamic burial and we will be ensuring this is done.
We want to appeal for help from all communities to come forward and put an end to this investigation.
There is help available to Alia's family and the grieving process could be easier for you if you come forward and use the help that is available.
You may not get another opportunity and we don't want you to end up regretting this for the rest of your life.

Outside spending groups take to the airwaves
By Angie Drobnic Holan, Molly Moorhead
Published on Thursday, July 12th, 2012 at 4:58 p.m.
TV ads from outside spending groups are on the rise, and they're keeping us busy fact-checking them.
An ad from Secure American Now claims President Barack Obama apologized and showed weakness on Iran. We looked at its statement, "For his first interview as president, Barack Obama chose Arab TV for an apology."
We found the ad misrepresented Obama's words, though it was correct that Obama gave his first interview to the Arab network Al Arabiya. We rated the statement Mostly False.
We also looked at an ad from American Committment, a conservative group that opposes the health care law. Its ad claimed that the health care law could cost up to $2 trillion, "double what we were promised." We found the number was both cherry-picked and inflated, and was not a doubling of previous estimates. We rated that claim False.
The ad also said the law "imposes the largest tax increase in history on the middle class." But that's not so. Even if all of the taxes in the health care law fell on the middle class -- which they don't -- the statement still wouldn't be accurate. We rated the statement Pants on Fire!

Nursing at Middlesex Hospital
A lot has been said about our commitment to high tech. But we're also known for something even more valuable in a provider of care: a high level of commitment in all levels of nursing.
So, it's no wonder that Middlesex Hospital became the first in Connecticut to achieve Magnet Recognition in 2001 … the highest international award granted to health care organizations for outstanding excellence in nursing services.
In fact, Middlesex Hospital is a three-time Magnet hospital, the only one in Connecticut. Less than 1% of hospitals in the United States have achieved Magnet status three times.

Jeff Gentil: While Illinois struggled with Southern Illinois, UC was off trouncing Purdue. Should be a walk in the park for the Bearcats this week, right? Well, a true road game at a Big Ten opponent is not often going to be a cakewalk. Illinois, on paper, is terrible. UC is more talented and (hopefully) Brendon Kay will see more action. But I still can't see this one getting as much out of hand as Purdue, so I'll keep it somewhat closer and say Bearcats with a business-like 27-17 win in Champaign with the only reason it isn't a blowout being that it's on the road.
Matt Dumont: Unlike Purdue, Illinois has an experienced and competent quarterback and is also playing at home. They also have consistency with the coaching staff from last year to this year. Even though last years Illini team was 2-10 and they barely beat SIU in week one, I expect this game to be close. I think for 3 quarters it stays within 3 or so points. In the 4th I expect the depth to show, which I'm giving the edge to the Bearcats in that area. 31-20 UC.
Matt Opper: Illinois will give the Bearcats more of a run with their offense than Purdue did, but there are still glaring holes all over their secondary that can be exploited by the Bearcats offense. I think that UC is able to get consistent pressure on Nathan Scheelhaase which limits his effectiveness. The Bearcats offense goes after the secondary early and often in route to a 35-17 win.

DALLAS – Behind two men with the drive to bring neglected cars back to life, the show Fast N' Loud is revving up the reality TV scene in Dallas.
North Texas natives Richard Rawlings and Aaron Kaufman never expected their passion for cars and their work inside Gas Monkey Garage would turn into a hit.
"It's a journey to see it back on the road, to hear it, to feel it again," Kaufman says.
"It's a lifestyle, it's an attitude," Rawlings added. "Basically it's just cool."
The show's success fueled the automotive aces to find a new home on Merrell Road, a bigger location for bigger builds. They have to be ambitious, they say, the season's demands are sky-high: the crew is transforming dozens of vehicles in months.
"I love the transformation, that's what we are all about," Rawlings said. "We bring in something ugly, send it out the door looking good; that's awesome."
Turning wheels and deals on TV each week on Discovery is reeling in a huge fan following. They say they get visitors daily and try to make time to shake each hand. Fans also pass by Phipp's Automotive, a garage with hot rod history where Fast and Loud first aired.
"This last year has been awesome," said Dewaine Phipps. "Since I met the guys, it's been pretty cool."
Phipps has a door where fans from all over the world have signed their names. He said he "cannot be any more proud of these guys."
But the partnership hasn't always been a thrilling ride. The dream has hit the financial skids –– twice. But Richard's tenacity and Aaron's aptitude for mechanics found them celebrity.
"He will play everything on one hand and so it sometimes, it has bit him in the rear and other times, it's the difference between us and everyone else," said Kaufman. "The fact that we played our cards, the right hand, at the right time."
And they're using that timing to spread the love of mechanics to their fans, especially children. They're two friends, enjoying the ride, hoping to inspire younger generations along the way.
"When I see the kids, I tell them, go take your dad's lawnmower apart," Rawlings said. "I want to see the kids get off the computer and back in the garage."
"You can do this, go out and have a good time and still make money," said Kaufman. "It's not an easy life, but it's rewarding."
