Is Facebook really a network of friends? Or does your news feed make you feel otherwise?
A new study from the University of Michigan suggests the social network site is a place to constantly compare lives, which leads to sadness.
"Sometimes, I do and sometimes I don't," said student Hannah Smith. "If they're at a concert or something, I'm like, 'Man, I wish I was there.' "
The study looked at college students. It found those that socialize the most outside of Facebook, seem to feel the saddest. That's because they're more aware of what others are doing, that includes on social media.
Some McNeese State University students might compare, but said overall, their feelings are neutral.
"Oh yes and no," said student Andrew Guillotte. "I see those adventurous friends I guess, but then I realize how much I have to be thankful for."
"I don't get sad, I'm just like, 'Maybe I'll do that,' " said Smith. "I'll add that to the list of things to do."
And others said logging on to Facebook doesn't upset them at all.
"I feel like I'm happy with what I've accomplished so I don't need to compare my life with other people," said student Olivia Babineaux.
"I like looking at social network and seeing what everyone has to say or post," said student Katie Mefford.
The study also found that jealousy is increased in relationships with social media.

Click To Make Bigger Over the last few years changes in both use and technology have altered the basic requirements and design of the waterproof shell.
With the softshell renaissance, the old-school layering system where the outer layer provided all the weather-proofing has been replaced by a weather resistant layer, backed up by a lightweight shell for when things get really foul.
The North-East based Montane are one of the originators of the new-school softshell based clothing system, and were one of the first companies to produce really lightweight waterproofs specifically designed for use as a boost layer.Montane, along with Rab and Crux in the UK use eVent fabric, the most serious rival to the market dominating Gore-tex. Those with time to kill can delve through the endless debates on laboratory tests- suffice to say in action I find eVent breathes at least as well as any Gore-tex I've used, keeps the rain out and has less of a bin-liner feel than the gore Paclite used in other lightweight jackets.
The Montane Stretch Halo Jacket is a lightweight event shell, somehow managing to squeeze three pockets, a fully adjustable wired hood, and all mod-cons into a sub 400g package. A few years ago, a sub 400g shell was the object of desire for fast and light fanatics, but with several sub 300g shells on the market the Stretch Halo is probably no longer the first choice for those wishing to shave every gram.
The main body, hood and arms are Event, with stretch (the clues in the name) entrant fabric used on the upper back and under arms. However, I think that stretchiness isn't really needed in a well-cut shell, and in this case the cut of the body is very generous (tending towards baggy) so I feel the stretch adds little except to the price tag.
Otherwise, the jacket is well (if almost overly for a lightweight shell) featured. The hood has plenty of room for a helmet, but also cinches down well with the wired peak keeping rain away from the face, and a nice patch of fleece to prevent chin stubble rub. Pockets-wise, the two main pockets are well clear of a harness/rucsac belt and have mesh inners that can handle a bit of volume. There's also a handy patch pocket welded to the chest.
a good lightweight shell, weighing little in the pack
The main zip is of the now familiar water-resistant type with a single internal storm flap. I've mixed feelings on these zips as while they make the jacket neater by doing away with the bulk of double storm flaps, the metal slider eventually wears away the plastic seal allowing water ingress. Oddly, the hand pockets revert to the more traditional design of an ordinary zip with double storm flaps.
In use, aside from the baggy cut it's a good lightweight shell, weighing little in the pack, keeping the rain out with the DWR doing an impressive job of beading and so far has survived rough treatment very well, given the lightweight fabrics used.
Overall, while a nice jacket I remain slightly puzzled as to the intended end-user, as while lightweight, the number of features nudge it away from the lightest available and up the price to comparable with heavier and more durable 'mountain shells'. However, if you want to lighten the load but keep all the features then the Stretch Halo probably fits the bill.
Price: £230
What Montane say:
Ultra-lightweight, super breathable, zoned stretch jacket.
The eVent® Halo Stretch Jacket is designed for the high energy outdoor athlete who demands low weight, supreme breathability and maximum freedom of movement in a waterproof shell. The jacket is zoned with two different stretch fabrics in addition to the ultra-breathable eVent®; one of which offers increased durability on the hips and forearms and on the other, which provides lightweight stretch in the underarm and across the back. Featuring 3M Scotchlite™ reflective flashes, two mesh lined pockets, a further laser-cut chest pocket and ergonomic, fully adjustable helmet hood the Halo is a jacket for the committed outdoor athlete for all condition use.

Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss announced on Friday he will not seek re-election to a third term. He informed his staff on Friday morning, and later released a statement.
Senator Chambliss faced challenges as he considered another term. He has come in for criticism from some in the GOP for his involvement in bipartisan talks on the budget deficit. Senator Chambliss and Senator Johnny Isakson voted on the recent deal to avoid the fiscal cliff, and Georgia members of the U.S. House voted against it.
Some of those congressmen are now likely to consider a senate bid. FOX 5 political analyst Matt Towery says the senator had been testing the political waters in recent months.
"My impression was he was never completely decided in terms of running in the first place. He has enjoyed the last two terms. Clearly he's had trouble with the Tea Party. He's had troubles with the more conservative elements of the Republican Party in Georgia and has been forced to take votes that have been viewed by those groups as being, perhaps, counter to what they wanted," said Towery.
In his announcement on Friday, Chambliss said his decision did not stem from the potential challengers that he faced but rather from frustration with Washington.
Governor Deal released a statement on Friday afternoon, calling Chambliss "a great Georgia leader and an American statesman; I will remember him as a friend."
The senator is from Moultrie, Georgia and first went to Congress in 1994. He then went to the Senate in 2002.

A Middle Tennessee pastor is camping out on a 30-foot platform for several days in an attempt to help collect necessities to give to homeless people in the area.
Pastor Greg Locke of Global Vision Bible Church set up camp on the platform on Monday morning and plans to stay there until he has collected 100 sleeping bags, 100 bikes, tarps and tents.
"It's very cold up here, and tonight, it's going to be about freezing, but we're trying to weather it as best we can but this is our commitment to the homeless," he said. "I am layered right now. I didn't realize how cold it was actually going to be today."
Locke told Nashville's News 2 he got the idea to stay on the platform while hosting a revival for the homeless on the Jefferson Street Bridge recently.
"We promised [area homeless people] our church was going to do this and so we're here for the long haul," Locke said. "I'm willing to stay here all week if we have to."
Due to weather conditions brought on in part by Hurricane Sandy, Pastor Locke's lift was lowered 10 feet due to safety concerns.
"I think the coldness and the inconvenience adds to the experience, and we really want to empathize with these folks," Locke said.
As of Monday night, 15 bicycles and 10 sleeping bags had been collected.
Anyone interested in donating to the cause can do so at Global Vision Bible Church located at 2060 Old Lebanon Dirt Road in Mt. Juliet.

Linux Server Market Continues to Grow
The global server market continues to grow with Linux servers playing a major role: for the fifth time in succession, Linux server business achieved double-figure growth in the second quarter of 2007.
Statistics published by US market researchers Gartner and IDC reveal the trend. All told, manufacturers increased turnover by 5 percent (Gartner) or 6 percent (IDC) in the second quarter of 2007. This is equivalent to a total of US$ 13 billion. According to IDC Linux servers account for US$ 1.8 billion of this figure, representing 19 percent growth in servers with the free operating system pre-installed in the second quarter. The market share rose from 12.1 in the same quarter last year to 13.6 percent this year. Microsoft is still the market leader with a share of 38.2 percent, US$ 5 billion turnover, and a similar growth rate of 18.7 percent. The loser would seem to be Unix with turnover down by 4 percent and a market share of 31.7 percent.
Researchers from both Gartner and IDC see IBM on top of hardware vendors with a turnover of some US$ 4 billion, closely foolowed by HP (US$ 3.7 billion) and Sun with US$ 1.7 billion. Big Blue was able to maintain its market share with its System x, z and System p servers. HP's big sellers are the ProLiant and Blade Servers, while Sun scores with its T1000 and T2000 systems, and dominates the Unix market with Solaris. Dell improved turnover by 20 percent but stays in fourth place.
According to market researchers, growth was driven by products for the X86 platform; at the same time, researchers identified increased demand for more storage. A strong underlying demand for increased capacity and new applications is driving volume growth in spite of potential inhibitors like virtualization and economic concerns." says Jeffrey Hewitt, Vice President for Market Research with Gartner. Competitor IDC sees new IT tasks and a strong wave of regular hardware updates as the driving force behing growth.

ESCANABA - Very often, when considering making changes in a program, it's out with the old and in with the new.
Not so when Vickie Micheau and Sheila Krueger were put in charge of the 2013 Ladies Day program at the U.P. State Fair. The women decided to keep the original venue, which has been a mainstay with the program for a number of years, but add some new features that will have an even greater appeal to attract women who have never attended the annual event. In addition, the Ladies Day program has been extended from its original 10 a.m. starting time and will conclude about 6:30 p.m.
Ladies Day is Friday at the U.P. State Fair.
"We're still going to keep the coffee and donuts as the women come in. And we're keeping the cookbook and the goodie bags from OSF, and rocking chair from E&E Furniture," said Krueger. "And we're still going to have a baking competition, but this year we're doing it a little different."
In previous years, the cooking/baking competition consisted of breads, main dishes, salads, and desserts and all were judged during the three-hour Ladies Day program. Although there will still be four categories, they have been reclassified as breakfast, lunch, dinner and all other and their placement and judging will be spread over an eight-hour period.
Breakfast entries will be presented from 10-11 a.m. and judged immediately after. Lunch entries will be presented from noon to 1 p.m. with judging to follow. Entries for dinner will be accepted from 3-4 p.m., and all other from 5-6.
"The announcement of the winners won't be at the same time as in previous years," Krueger explained. "The winners will be announced at the end of each individual competition."
But, ladies, don't feel you have to sit around and wait for the assortment of drawings that will still be available as in past years. Krueger said there will be an impressive number of programs and guest speakers that will take to the stage during the event.
Traci Debaker will start off the program at 10:30 with a presentation entitled "Women in Business - Struggles and Triumphs." At 11:30, Kim Johnson and Pamela Balentine Ph.D. with Gray Matters will speak about "Stress in Women and Its Effects on the Body and How to Effectively Manage It."
To start off the afternoon slate of speakers at 12:30, Dr. Melissa Vandermissen will speak about nutrition, exercise, chemicals in women's cosmetics and products, and spinal health. From 1-2, the ladies will be encouraged to attend two health fairs that will be offered under the grandstand and reset for the remainder of afternoon activities.
Booths will be available from 2-6:30 p.m. and the ladies will have the opportunity to sample ice cream, complements of Debaker Farm, and there will be wine and beer tastings as well. The tastings will include Robert Mondavi Private Selection of Pinot Grigio, Barefoot Cellars' REFRESH Crisp White, Redwood Creek's Red Blend, and Chateau Grand Traverse and its Lake Harvest Riesling.
Other activities include two Tastefully Simple demonstrations, one at 2:30 and the second at 4:30, "It Works" demonstration at 3:30, and a fashion show, which begins at 5:30, will round out the day's events.
In addition to holding the Ladies Day program on a Friday for the first time, Krueger said the winner of the E&E rocking chair drawing doesn't have to be present to win.
"Anyone who attends throughout the day, has a chance," she said.
Although this year's changes might take a little getting used to, Krueger said she and her committee are hopeful that the changes and additions will make the day even more enjoyable than in the past.
"When we started this, our committee was asked, 'What would you like to do in an afternoon at the fair?' and this is the result," Krueger said. "Whether the ladies can stay for the entire day or only a few hours, we feel there's something for everyone to enjoy."

Temple B'nai Israel in Butte,Montana will be determining the future of its 1903 Moorish building.Photograph by Zach Watson Rice
Created by David Sarnat (a Jewish community professional in Atlanta) and funded by the Atlanta-based Marcus Foundation (established by Bernard Marcus, co-founder of Home Depot), JCLP matches up small, struggling congregations with larger, thriving organizations that can assist them with the transfer or sale of synagogue property, cemetery maintenance, preservation of their archives, and other needs. The URJ has invited Sarnat to appear on a URJ Biennial panel along with representatives of Reform congregations the project has assisted. Sarnat will also be available for individual consultations at the December 14-18 convention outside Washington, DC. (For more information, visit urj.org/biennial.)
One of the first Reform congregations to benefit from JCLP expertise is Temple Sinai in Sumter, South Carolina, which dates back to 1891. Today, the majority of its 35 members are in their 70s and 80s, and some are in their 90s.
Roger Ackerman, an active member of Temple Sinai, remembers what the congregation was like when he arrived in Sumter in 1965: "We had a full time rabbi, approximately 175 members, a religious school, an active youth group, Sisterhood, and Men's Club. We had members from five small towns located near us." Today, he says, "Our Sisterhood is still active but small. The rest (youth group, religious school, Men's Club, full time rabbi) are no longer a part of our activities."
Ackerman proposed that the congregation create a "living will, which could help the congregation prolong its life and make provisions for temple properties in the event that Temple Sinai ceases to exist." Initially, the idea met resistance, but eventually the community came to realize the need for a contingency plan. Working with JCLP, Temple Sinai signed an agreement that empowers the Charleston Jewish Federation to maintain the congregation's cemetery when it can no longer do so. The temple's leaders are exploring other partnerships as well.
"I find it sad that we're faced with this, but it's a reality; you can't change it," Ackerman says. "There are many, many changes we face in life, and this is just one of them."
The JCLP is also working with Sinai Temple, a Reform congregation founded in Marion, Indiana, in 1924 that has seen its membership decline from 100 families in its heyday to 19 families today. Stan Steiner, a retired optician and active Sinai Temple member for more than three decades, reports that "David Sarnat has helped us set up what we want to do, where things will go, and who will take care of the cemetery…as there's a very good chance we will close in May of next year. I'd rather it not close, but if there isn't support, if people aren't willing to help, we will have no choice."
Rabbi David Fine, URJ senior consultant-congregational systems, introduced Temple B'nai Israel in Butte, Montana to JCLP. "[The introduction] came at a time when we were receptive to the notion of planning our future," says longtime member Janet Cornish, noting that B'nai Israel, established in the 1890s, used to have 100 member families; membership is now down to 15.
The remaining congregants are now cleaning out their synagogue's vestry, selling pianos, and the like—what Cornish, a community development consultant, calls "the easiest things." Next, they must determine the future of their synagogue's building, a 1903 Moorish structure. Maintenance of the congregation's cemetery will not be an issue; an adjacent Christian cemetery has been contracted to provide perpetual care.
While making these decisions is painful—as URJ's Senior Vice President Rabbi Daniel Freelander says, "Nobody likes to face his or her own eventual mortality"—Union representatives urge small, shrinking congregations to take the necessary steps to plan their future, and thereby create a legacy. "Otherwise," cautions Rabbi Freelander, "decisions are liable to be made by people who have no emotional attachment to your sacred community. Congregations now have an opportunity to take control of their future. And working with JCLP is a great way to begin."

Notes: Reitsma, Lowe return to mound
Relievers working way back after arm surgeries last season
PEORIA, Ariz. -- It was fitting Chris Reitsma and Mark Lowe walked off the field together on Saturday after each threw a scoreless inning for the Mariners in a 5-2 loss to the Athletics.It was the first Spring Training outing for both, who were soulmates in undergoing elbow surgeries last year. "Even though it was just spring training, I said to Reitsma, 'That's fun. I forget how fun that is,'" Lowe said. "I've been waiting about six months to get back out there." Lowe began his career with a streak of 17 2/3 scoreless innings in 2006 before needing two elbow surgeries. The first was in October 2006 and the second during Spring Training last year, as he spent most of last season rehabbing. Lowe said he thought after the initial surgery he would be fine, but "it didn't work out that way." "It stinks when you can't pitch," Lowe said. "It's in the past. I'm ready to go. I felt incredible." His first five pitches were called balls (even though Lowe said he thought three were good pitches) and he allowed a single to Mike Sweeney, but retired three A's on flyouts. Reitsma was 0-2 with a 7.61 ERA in 26 relief appearances and made three trips to the disabled list last season before having elbow surgery. He needed only 12 pitches to get out of the sixth unscathed, allowing a harmless two-out single. "It's a good step," Reitsma said. "I feel comfortable on the mound. It's nice not to think about your elbow. I've got nothing to lose. I worked my fanny off. I've done everything to prepare physically and mentally. Now it's just going out there trying to have some fun. That's how I'm viewing it, with a carefree attitude and just being aggressive and competing." He said he threw all his pitches -- fastballs, breaking balls and changeups. "It wasn't really the breaking ball that hurt me as much as the other pitches last year," Reitsma said. "It was the full extension on the fastball and changeup. But I'm not thinking about anything like that right now. That page is turned. I'm feeling healthy now. I don't really want to talk about the elbow anymore." Manager John McLaren said he liked the way both threw. "It would be pretty big," McLaren said of both being able to stay healthy all year. "I like the presence of both of them on the mound. Reitsma is a veteran and Lowe looks like a veteran out there."

(March 10, 2010 - THE HAGUE, The Netherlands) – Brittany Jones of Toronto and Kurtis Gaskell of Guelph, Ont., placed seventh in pairs on Wednesday at the world junior figure skating championships.
Wenjing Sui and Cong Han of China won the gold medal at 170.71 with Narumi Takahashi and Mervin Tran of Japan second at 157.23 and Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov of Russia third at 145.35.
Jones and Gaskell produced a personal best score of 133.41 points to earn another strong international showing this season. This past fall, they were bronze medallists at a junior Grand Prix in Poland.
"This was a very good experience for us," said Gaskell, 19. "We did gain some international experience earlier this year but still, this felt pretty new to us and we are thrilled with the result. We had a nice and smooth long program."
Jones, who started skating with Gaskell three years ago, says the result is a great springboard into next season.
"It was really strong and it gives us a confidence boost for next year," said Jones, 14. "It was great to get all of our new tricks out there including our double Axel. That should get us more attention internationally."
Canadian junior champions Margaret Purdy of Strathroy, Ont., and Michael Marinaro of Sarnia, Ont., were ninth, also with a personal best 129.29, and Kaleigh Hole of Virden, Man., and Adam Johnson of Chatham, Ont., were 11th.
The U.S., stands 1-2 in men's competition after Wednesday's short program. Grant Hochstein leads with 71.35 points followed by Keegan Messing in second at 68.90. Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan is third at 68.75.
Ronald Lam of Coquitlam, B.C., is in 12th at 56.57 and Andrei Rogozine of Richmond Hill, Ont., is 13th at 56.07. They were personal best scores for both skaters. Both competed at two junior Grand Prix events earlier this season.
"They both performed well overall," said Canadian team manager Louis Stong. "The men's field here is very deep. Both are determined to be terrific in the long program."
In ice dancing, Alexandra Paul and Mitchell Islam, both of Barrie, Ont., are fifth after Tuesday's compulsory dance. Olivia Martins of Toronto and Alvin Chau of Richmond Hill are 13th and Abby Carswell of Toronto and Andrew Doleman of Dundas, Ont., 23rd.
Competition continues Thursday with the men's long program and the original dance.

"Coach Holladay is under administrative leave and has no involvement with the team," Alexander said. "You hate to see any situation that causes a blight on the program. There are a lot of factors that need to be looked at. We will continue to investigate and go from there. I can tell you we will have a thorough investigation.
"[Jasper Police Chief] Connie Rowe has been cooperative and is following up on her end."
Holladay was in the middle of a skirmish with Cullman defensive coordinator Matt Hopper following the Vikings' emotional 13-10 loss at Gambrell Ki-Ro Field. After punches were thrown, Holladay was tackled to the ground by a Walker assistant coach while Hopper was restrained by several police officers.
The incident occurred as both teams rushed off the field Friday night. Cullman scored the game-winning touchdown with 18 seconds left on the clock. Instead of the customary handshakes following the game, coaches tried to get their teams to their respective lockerrooms before blows were exchanged by coaches on the field.
Rowe said Jasper police are trying to gather evidence to determine whether charges are warranted.
"Our duty at this point is to document the facts surrounding this incident," she said Saturday afternoon. "We will be taking statements and reviewing video and photographs that may have captured the incident."
"I truly believe two people were involved in the altercation," Alexander said. "We had security there that we felt was capable of handling things, but this was totally unexpected."
Friday's game marked the start of Holladay's seventh year as Walker's head coach.
"We're investigating it all and we'll do a thorough job at that, but it will take us a while," Jasper City Schools superintendent Robert Sparkman said Saturday. "We'll take a look at all the facts about the matter, and when we feel like we understand it all, we'll do whatever we need to do."
When contacted Saturday, officials with the Alabama High School Athetic Association in Montgomery said an investigation into the incident is underway.
"We won't comment on anything until the investigation into this is over," said Ron Ingram, director of communications for the AHSAA.
A Cullman school board official told The Cullman Times that no discplinary action is planned concerning Cullman coaches or football players after Friday night's post-game incident.
The Times reported that representatives of the AHSAA will meet with Cullman City Schools officials Tuesday as part of a review of the brawl, which left a Cullman coach with visible injuries.

The partnership was innovative because it asked all Facebook members to vote on ads, instead of just a panel of a handful of people selected by USA Today. And it brought the power of social media to an inherently social event on behalf of a stolidly traditional media property.
But no more.
This year the newspaper is going it alone -- again. It's told Facebook its services are no longer needed. Publisher Larry Kramer told Ad Age:
"We want to do this ourselves because we're going to do a lot of these," he said. "We need to build the apparatus ourselves do we'd own it."
"Look, Facebook is great and we like working with them, but if you look at this organization today top to bottom vs. a year ago, we're a lot more digital ... And we need to build that internally."
The Ad Meter's qualifications for being the nation's top rater of Super Bowl ads have previously been called into question. It doesn't measure halftime ads, even though those ads -- such as Clint Eastwood's "Halftime in America" spot for Chrysler -- are some of the most talked-about commercials.
And it consists of a voting panel of just 300 people in two separate locations -- even though dozens of social media analytics companies can measure chatter about the Super Bowl online from millions of people.
USA Today will replace Facebook with a "a password-protected microsite" that users will have to sign up for in order to vote.
If you can't be bothered to do that, don't worry: Business Insider will bring you our "Super Bowl For Quants" roundup of social media analyses of the ads the day after the game.

Norwich — One home sustained minor damage from a brush fire Tuesday off Laurel Hill Avenue.
Laurel Hill Fire Department Chief Aaron Westervelt said the fire was reported shortly after 11 a.m. and contained to a small area. Its rapid spread had threatened several homes in the vicinity of 563 Laurel Hill Ave. The siding on one home was melted from the heat, he said.

David Haye, Makes an Offer

Adam Booth, manager and trainer of WBA heavyweight champion David Haye, is claiming that his fighter actually budged to the financial demands of WBO/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko. There is only one problem, Booth claims Klitschko is refusing to sign the agreement, but never gives an exact reason as to why Klitschko is stalling
The big issue with getting a deal done was the British pay-per-view money. Klitschko wanted 50% and Haye was refusing to give it up. Now Haye has offered, according to Booth, 50% of the British television revenue. Booth even claims that Haye is willing to fight Klitschko in Germany - if the fight generates the most money in that country.
Booth told the Guardian: "I have been negotiating with Bernd Boente, Wladimir Klitschko's manager, and two days ago I offered him a 50-50 split of everything, including the British pay-per-view money. And that the fight could be on RTL [the German TV station] and could be held anywhere they wanted to make the most revenue, including in Germany.
"Those were the only two points we were negotiating. But [Klitschko's manager] Bernd Boente came back and said: 'No point continuing. Forget about it. You do your fight and we'll do ours.' Wladimir was copied in on all the emails so I don't know why they are refusing. That is the question Boente refused to answer. Either Wladimir does not want to fight David Haye or, maybe, it is because they have this deal with RTL and they want to get that fight out of the way."
If Klitschko does not finalize a deal with Haye by January 11, then he must honor an existing agreement to fight unbeaten British boxer Dereck Chisora. Klitschko was set to face Chisora on December 11, but withdrew with an injury. The contract calls for a 30-day period which allows Klitschko to find a new opponent. If there is no movement in 30-days, Klitschko must reschedule the Chisora fight.

Almost fell asleep reading that article. These two should be restricted in the press to announcing when a contract is signed, then once a contract is signed, they will be allowed to trash talk at pre aproved weekly events.

somehow i'm thinking Haye is making it seem like he's open to fight right now, then when Wlad says "I must break you" Haye will pull out with a back injury or announce a reason why he can't fight.

I don't know...I mean Haye is really at the end of the line after that last fight....even the Brits were pissed. It's very unlikely they will be putting him in the ring with the likes of Williams or Sprott no matter the money...as after that last outing it cannot even be close to the worth of a Wlad or Vitali fight.
PLUS...IF it's true Wlad hurt his abdominal on one side...that would give you the slightest of weak points to focus on...IMHO now seems as good as any....he's not going to grow any shorter so might as well take the shot when you know he may have had an injury.

Is this deal fair? I hope that Wlad will call his bluff and say "Fuck it, Let's do it".

with all this talk about "we'll have the fight where it makes the most money" does anyone actually think this fight will be anywhere but the US? Probably Vegas?
As big a fight as this is, if it's in the UK or Germany, it'll be about 2pm or 5pm here in the States, thus killing PPV sales.
I can't see it being anywhere but the US.

They could get at least a small football stadium filled for this over here, or if it was heavily promoted, they could probably fill Wembley, then your talkin upwards of 70.000 people, coupled with the fact that Haye v Harrison sold 700,000 PPVs in Britain alone, and the fact that Wlad is huge in Germany and could easily replicate both that live gate and the PPV sales, maybe even surpass them, I dont see how Vegas makes more sense. That said, lets get the fight made in Vegas. Give me an excuse to return!

What are you guys talking about?
This fight belongs in the UK where they can fill a 100,000 seat stadium. I doubt it would be a PPV fight over here in the states. There is plenty of money to be made in this fight and bringing it to the US would hurt it IMO.

Putting All the Elements Together
Putting All the Elements Together
By JOHN BRANCH
Published: September 15, 2006
Chemistry is the It word.
Kobe Bryant said the United States basketball team needed more of it. Winning next weekend's Ryder Cup will depend on it. The front-running Yankees and Mets do not want to disrupt it. Tony Kornheiser and Joe Theismann hope to develop it.
Chemistry is applied to just about anything with more than one moving part, from Nascar crews to "Dancing With the Stars.†Actors and news anchors, rock bands and orchestras, offensive lines and power-play units all require chemistry.
A lack of it is blamed for failure. A wealth of it is credited for success. Chemistry has gone from high school subject to cultural cliché.
Good teams have chemistry. Bad teams do not. Behind every underdog's upset is great chemistry. Behind every underachieving powerhouse is poor chemistry.
In recent years, championship teams like the New England Patriots, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Detroit Pistons and the San Antonio Spurs were said to have great chemistry. Talent, sure, but mostly chemistry.
No one has ever said, "We finished last, but we had great chemistry.†But Jets quarterback Chad Pennington did say this week, "I hope we continue to take our chemistry to the next level,†suggesting that a chemistry scale may exist.
Many recent discussions of chemistry have focused on Philadelphia and the locker room of the Eagles.
The Eagles went to the N.F.C. championship game and lost three years in a row. Then, in 2004, they signed Terrell Owens, the famously disruptive receiver.
The Eagles reached the Super Bowl, but Owens soon went on a textbook team-wrecking binge. He wanted a new contract. He insulted quarterback Donovan McNabb. He stopped speaking to coaches. The Eagles suspended him after seven games last season. They were 4-3 at the time. Injuries and a locker room divided by Owens's antics were blamed for a 6-10 season.
Now, the 1-0 Eagles, who play host to the 0-1 Giants on Sunday, believe they have repaired the fractures left by Owens, whose behavior is now a great curiosity in Dallas.
Whether the Eagles return to their perch at or near the top of the N.F.L. will go a long way toward validating the notion of chemistry.
"I'm not saying they all have to be best friends, but there just can't be a rift in the locker room,†Eagles Coach Andy Reid said Wednesday in a conference call.
Across the N.F.L., chemistry has found a place in the lexicon. It is part of the analysis alongside blocking and tackling.
In New England, the Patriots wonder what the trade of the popular receiver Deion Branch will do to their chemistry, while the Seattle Seahawks' president, Tim Ruskell, said that Branch "adds to our chemistry.â€
In Green Bay, quarterback Brett Favre said the team's hopes depended on "how we come together chemistry-wise.†In Minnesota, the owner, Zygi Wilf, said that character was "an important part of the chemistry makeup.â€
There is so much chemistry talk that coaches might wear lab coats, not warm-up suits.
Jeff Janssen is a North Carolina-based leadership consultant for companies and sports teams. His "Seven C's of Championship Team Building†are, basically, the components of team chemistry: common goal, commitment, complimentary roles, clear communication, constructive conflict, cohesion and credible leadership.
"There are examples of championship teams that didn't have great chemistry,†Janssen said. "It's not absolutely mandatory, but if you're a coach, a general manager or a player, you'd certainly rather have it.â€
That may be especially true in the N.F.L.
"I don't think any of the teams in the N.F.L. now, with the parity that exists, are great,†Giants kicker Jay Feely said. "You don't have dynasties. The majority of teams are at that good level, so you have to find that catalyst that will make them be great. A lot of teams sit on that teeter-totter, and one thing or another is going to make them lean one way or the other way.â€
The Giants make little attempt at social engineering. There are no field trips to the bowling alley or the movie theater. In the locker room, little thought is given to the assignment of player stalls. They are loosely organized by position, but some, such as the linebackers and cornerbacks, are scattered.
"You can create false chemistry, and everybody can put on a good act, but I really think that good team chemistry comes through time,†center Shaun O'Hara said. "You can't create it overnight by going bowling.â€
Others say that chemistry can be manufactured. "When I was in Pittsburgh, we went to the movies, we went bowling, we did all types of stuff as a team,†receiver Plaxico Burress said. "Here, it's just work. Maybe things like that would help. Over here, it's a work, work, work atmosphere. Sometimes it's a little uncomfortable, it's just stress.â€
But the issue is what helps a team win. Would McNabb and Owens still be teammates had they spent more time bowling?
Giants General Manager Ernie Accorsi said he believed the Giants had too many strong leaders to allow a one-person insurgency — or any players who would lead such a revolt. Players such as Tiki Barber, Michael Strahan and Jeremy Shockey, he said, would counter destructive attitudes.
"If you have leadership at the top, if one guy comes in with a funny attitude, he won't last long,†Accorsi said. "The players would take care of that.â€
Asked about the Giants' chemistry, Feely paused and scanned the locker room.
"It's growing; that's the best way to describe it,†he said. "I think there are certain guys who can be a catalyst to more growth, quicker growth, or they could break it apart if they wanted to. Those are the guys that have to embrace that, and those are the guys that are going to swing the teeter-totter one way or the other.â€
He did not mention names, but he did mention the unpredictable power of winning and losing. That comes with any discussion of chemistry in sports. Are teams good because they have chemistry, or do they have chemistry because they are good?
The Giants and the Eagles provide interesting test cases. The Eagles did not alter their roster much, banking mostly on addition by subtraction. The Giants play four of the next five games on the road, starting with trips to Philadelphia and Seattle. It does not take great imagination to see the possibility of more losses than wins.
The tests will come weekly. And, as it is for most teams, the most difficult subject just may be chemistry.

Arizona Wildcats poised to lose offensive line coach Anae
It looks like the Arizona Wildcats will have to fill an opening on their coaching staff.
According to DeseretNews.com, offensive line coach Robert Anae will be leaving Tucson to become BYU's offensive coordinator.
Anae was scheduled to arrive in Provo Friday morning for a round of interviews. If things go smoothly, an announcement could come as soon as Friday afternoon.
Along with offensive coordinator responsibilities, Anae would also serve as BYU's offensive line coach, sources said.
Anae joined Mike Stoops' Wildcats staff in 2011 and was retained by new coach Rich Rodriguez in 2012. Before moving to Tucson Anae was offensive coordinator and inside receivers coach at BYU.

CATEGORIES MoviesDirector Bryan Singer has been very busy making "X-Men: Days of Future Past," and he's been almost as busy tweeting photos from the set.
The director's newest twitpic shows a very groovy-looking Nicholas Hoult and Hugh Jackman, who play Beast and Wolverine in the film, respectively. Singer captioned the photo, "Welcome to 1973."
While we're really happy that details about the film have been steadily trickling out thanks to the director's behind-the-scenes pics, this latest shot and caption leaves us with some questions. For example, why is Nicholas Hoult not blue, huge and furry? As you may recall, Hoult fully transformed into Beast in 2011's "X-Men: First Class" after an experiment to reverse his mutation back-fired. So, why is the hairiest part of his face in the photo his '70s-esque sideburns? Well, since this movie is about time travel, we guess anything could happen.
You continue to both elude and excite us, Mr. Singer. Check out the full picture below!
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" is set to hit theaters July 18, 2014.

From Chapman Highway (State Route 71) to Moody Avenue in Knoxville.
Project Description
The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), in accordance with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed construction of James White Parkway from Chapman Highway (U.S. 441/ SR-71, hereafter referred to as Chapman Highway) to Moody Avenue in South Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee. The proposed project would extend the existing James White Parkway, which currently ends at Moody Avenue, southward to Chapman Highway (SR-71) near its intersection with Governor John Sevier Highway (SR-168). This project, hereafter referred to as the James White Parkway Project, would improve access from the South Knoxville area to the Central Business District (CBD) in downtown Knoxville.
James White Parkway was originally conceived when Chapman Highway was the primary route to Sevier County and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The road was intended to bypass the urban portion of that route. It was anticipated that construction of James White Parkway into southern Knox County would relieve Chapman Highway congestion caused in part by visitors passing through the area. Although the subsequent development of the Highway 66 connector from Sevierville to I-40 rerouted most of the non-local traffic from Chapman Highway, the James White Parkway project had developed another purpose. The increasing demand for a better commuter route for the fast growing areas of southern Knox County and the Seymour portion of Sevier County became the new rationale for its completion.
A Final EIS (FEIS) was approved for the South Knoxville Boulevard (James White Parkway) project on June 24, 1977. That FEIS covered a project which began at Chapman Highway near Longvale Drive and extended northward to SR-158 (CBD Loop) in Knoxville. Since that time, the segment of that project from the CBD Loop southward to Moody Avenue has been constructed and opened to traffic. This roadway is known as the James White Parkway. The segment of the approved project alignment between Old Sevierville Pike and Chapman Highway was subsequently determined to have engineering constraints due to several sinkholes along the route. The approved alignment also required a shift near Redbud Drive to avoid a historic church and residences.
An Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared to address an alternative alignment between Old Sevierville Pike and Chapman Highway. This portion of the project was referred to as South Knoxville Boulevard. The EA was approved by the FHWA on April 25, 2001. A Corridor and Design Public Hearing was conducted on July 31, 2001. Due to environmental issues identified in the EA and public concerns for the project identified during the hearing, it was suggested that other alternative alignments be studied and evaluated. Many people requested to extend the project to Governor John Sevier Highway (SR-168). No final environmental document was developed for the project due to the unresolved issues and public concerns. Link: NEPA: National Environmental Policy Act
Interest in JWP by City of Knoxville
In January 2002, the Knoxville City Council passed Resolution Number R-15-02 authorizing the creation of the City's James White Parkway Extension Task Force. As authorized by the City Council, the purpose of the task force was to evaluate various aspects of the project included routing and design of the unfinished portion of James White Parkway. Other aspects to be evaluated included the impact of the proposed project on Chapman Highway traffic; the impact on existing businesses; the environmental impact; the project's relationship to development patterns both within and outside of Knoxville; and potential impact upon existing neighborhoods.
In the spring of 2003, TDOT asked the University of Tennessee Center for Transportation to review proposed TDOT projects across the state, including the James White Parkway project. Based on the review, TDOT referred the project back to local officials for further review in November 2003. The James White Parkway–Chapman Highway Task Force Corridor Study (Task Force), with technical support from the Knoxville–Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission and the Knoxville Regional Transportation Planning Organization (TPO), subsequently conducted an extensive review of the project. Although the Task Force had been authorized in January 2002 by the Knoxville City Council, it was expanded in 2004 to include stakeholders from both Knoxville and Knox County.
In January 2005, under Resolution R-37-05, the Knoxville City Council accepted and endorsed the Task Force Corridor Study and subsequently submitted the "James White Parkway Extension Recommendation" to TDOT.
Task Force Recommendations Accepted by Knoxville City Council
Due to to the potential for meaningful impacts and public concerns identified during the preparation of the 2001 EA and during the Task Force review of the project, the required environmental documentation was subsequently elevated to an EIS. This EIS, which covers the proposed extension of the James White Parkway southward to Chapman Highway near the existing Governor John Sevier Highway interchange, is being developed to further study the anticipated impacts of the project.

Planning director: 'Plan Bay Area' aligns with Mountain View's vision

I hope it is placed on the ballot as I wasn't informed adequately ahead of time or I would have been at Rose Market to object. I do not want to see Mountain View "grow" larger and taller. It's just the right size to be 'a community of people who know each other'. San Jose has room to spread out; let new homes be built there, and people can commute in to work via public transit if needed- We need affordable housing and more employment for our current residents first.
on Jul 21, 2013 at 6:32 am
In the meantime we keep adding jobs and keep,building office building along with shopping centers.
Mountain View is to add 15,000 jobs but yet only about 2,600 units, while at the same time other cities will keep adding jobs.
San Jose along with other cities and surrounding counties have green belts, urban limit lines and farmland protections in place. While it makes sense to protect open space, farms and other natural land, but does it make sense to have farms next job producing cities.
While you can build housing in outlaying areas which will change the,make up of outlaying communities. Valley farming communities will be home to hundreds of Mountain View workers.
on Jul 21, 2013 at 5:36 pm
With hardly any new construction, Mountain View has already added 10,000 jobs North of 101. When Google takes over a building, what once held 4 works for every 1000 square feet, now you will find that Google will place 7 to 10 workers in that 1000 square feet of space. As a result, with no new construction, Google has overwhelmed the road infrastructure and might life hell for all who need to drive in the area during commute times. Sure, they try to run those massive shuttles but in the end there are still more cars on the road up there than ever before.
Now, consider that this area is in a flood plain. When the bay water level rises and the right storms come, this area will be out of commission.
So would it not make more sense for Google and other companies to locate in other parts of the bay area, such as Sunnyvale and Santa Clara which have much more underdeveloped land than does Mountain View. This land is not going to be underwater.
Mountain View's plans don't make sense over the long run.

Here we go.
Now we'll begin to see the Government bloat and union paybacks involved in this new DemaCare Health Bill.
How can it possible deliver better healthcare at lower costs?
Good luck to all of us as we pay more and more to get less and less and work longer and longer as we eventually become "slaves" to the Government.
on Mar 18, 2013 at 3:25 pm
PSMacintosh: And you'd rather be "slaves" to corporations? Worse yet, do you want YOUR health care options regulated by "for Profit" entities such as drug companies? I am neither Democrat nor Republican, I'm a commonsense baby boomer who despite working/saving all my life find myself unable to afford health care in retirement. There is a an eye opening program: "Escape Fire: Saving the American Health Care System" or read this article: Web Link
Our healthcare is in shambles. How can you not agree? This crisis is NOT a political issue, it's a human one. I wish people would start recognizing it as a problem that needs to be solved, instead of continuing the blame game rhetoric that our political party leaders want us to get caught up in . Yeah, I know, our partisan politicians have served us "well". I'd love to end with an LOL, but it's not a laughing matter.
on Mar 20, 2013 at 10:19 am
So this health care call center will be able to answer all our questions about Obamacare?
Bet me.
on Mar 20, 2013 at 8:39 pm
My experience with private insurers has been that, when seeking to get health care claims paid, or an error corrected, I've had to navigate Kafka-esq labyrinths that go on for two years or more, with no one person able to solve the problem. I doubt that a government-run call center could be any worse.

The alternative school is not 'weird', in fact, my developmentally disabled son excelled at that school and graduated on time with a regular diploma. He did not have to attend public school until he was 20 and get a modified diploma as the school district where we reside had told us.
As terrible and heartbreaking as this case is, please don't drag in the fact that they endorsed a Charter School. The school they endorsed has NOTHING to do with this story, or their personal character.
Thank you.
I am in no means defending what they have done, however, I do feel the need to defend the school.
Troy Prouty*
Let's just hope they get a good defense and the system works like it was defined to actually work and comes up with a guilty or innocense based on facts, not somebodys poor performance or lies.
It is funny to see the way that community STILL publicly passes judgment on people. like Mr. Prouty stated, "Being charged does not mean you are guilty of the crime". Maybe these people are just a little essentric, and weird, but that does not automatically mean that they are guilty, shoot being convicted ( in that county) does not mean that they are guilty.
@ gottatellya ~ Thanks for defending BCS. I'm sad that a school which does GREAT things for the students who go there, students who are failing and/or falling through educational cracks until they go there, will be forever connected with this case.

3.13/5 rDev +2%
On tap @ Iron Hill Lancaster on 5/10/12. Served in a 10 oz goblet.
Pours a crystal clear gold, with a thin covering of white head. This retains with some foamy bunching, leaving back a frothy cascade of lace that quickly slides down the sides of the glass. The aroma smells of corn, sweet malt, herbal grassiness, and a touch of sulfur and diacetyl across the back.
The taste has a strong corn presence, which moves along with some sugary doughy notes while a firm citric bite gets some earthy bitterness in there from the hops. The mouthfeel is lighter bodied, with a prickly sharpness that fills the mouth and comes on maybe a bit too strong to be considered crisp.
I couldn't really get into this one. The hops had a bit too much of a raw feel to them and then the sharp carbonation kept this from being as quenching feeling as you want from a beer like this. I was fine after one glass.

3.15/5 rDev +2.6%
At Iron Hill Lancaster.
A: The cream ale is indelibly light, a paler pale straw color. That said, quite clear (as you'd expect). A thin white head, no lacing, hangs around for half of the glass.
S: The nose is very plain, practically nonexistent. Light biscuit, a tinge of cornbread and a sugary adjunct presence.
T: Like the nose, the ale skirts the palest, lightest spectrum of beer. Corn, doughy biscuit and the faintest hop presence define the taste. There really isn't much more to talk about here.
M: The mouthfeel is predictably smooth, hell there isn't much flavor to go around and beef things up. A palate cleanser between other beers.
