December was a busy month of action in MMA and FiveOuncesOfPain.com (www.FiveOuncesOfPain.com) has just released its new rankings to reflect all of the developments. You can access the rankings by clicking the "Rankings" tab at the top of the page, or, by clicking here.
I'll be doing a separate post that lists the top ten pound-for-pound rankings with analysis as to why everyone is ranked where. But for now, I'd like to rundown all the changes to the rankings within each individual weight class.
There were two changes here. One major, and the other minor. First, the minor was Fedor Emelianenko being moved from three back to two at the expense of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Am I impressed with Emelianenko's win over Hong-man Choi? No. However, it did answer concerns about inactivity.
The major change was Josh Barnett falling all the way to seven. As great of a fighter I think he is, I have to call it like I see it. I was very down on Fedor for his inactivity and it's now been over a year since Barnett has fought. I realize he's trying to do what's best for him financially, but strong financial planning skills don't factor into my rankings.
Light Heavyweight:
December 29 answered a lot of questions for me. It was really hard to put the light heavyweight rankings together until now because there was so little clarity. There are still a lot of questions that need to be answered, but at least some have been answered. I really didn't like having Mauricio "Shogun" Rua as my number two ranked light heavyweight coming off a bad loss but I really couldn't think of a better option. Until now.
The number two spot behind Quinton "Rampage" Jackson now belongs to Lyoto Machida. Look, I'm not the biggest fan of his fighting style but these rankings aren't for who has the most exciting style. It's about who are the best fighters. And Machida has done nothing but win and has recorded wins against the likes of Stephan Bonnar, B.J. Penn, Rich Franklin, Kazuhiro Nakamura, and now Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou.
Some people are saying Sokoudjou was a "fraud" and was "exposed," but I don't buy that. Sokoudjou recorded dominant wins over two fighters I considered to be top ten at the time in Ricardo Arona and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. So to me, Machida recorded a win Saturday night in dominant fashion over a legitimate top ten light heavyweight.
I know that there will be those that say number two for Machida is too high, but when I project him head-to-head with a lot of other top ten fighters, I believe he can beat most of them. Think about it: how sure are you that Quinton Jackson can beat Machida?
Right behind Machida is Chuck Liddell, who regained a lot of steam with an impressive victory over a top ten opponent. I had Liddell as low as seven coming off two consecutive losses but his victory over Wanderlei Silva means a lot.
Silva falls to six but remains with a strong ranking in spite of three consecutive losses because the loss to Mirko Cro Cop in September of '06 was an openweight match. The knockout loss to Henderson last February hurt him bad, but I don't think he did anything to embarrass himself with his performance against Liddell at UFC 79.
Also remaining in the top ten is Sokoudjou. His wins vs. Nogueira and Arona don't get erased simply because he did not perform well vs. Machida. Losing badly hurts his cause, but the fact it was against a top ten opponent is enough to keep him in my top ten.
New entries into the top ten include Thiago Silva and Vladimir Matyushenko. While they don't hold wins over top ten opponents this year, I feel they were active enough to crack the top ten based on their efforts as well as the fall of others.
Also, Dan Henderson is no longer in my top ten because his next fight is scheduled at middleweight and Ricardo Arona was dropped from the top ten due to inactivity.
Yoshihiro Akiyama is out and Kazuo Misaki is back in. Akiyama didn't look bad at Yarennoka and looked close to winning at one point, but a loss is a loss and a win is a win. Akiyama simply wasn't ranked high enough to prevent himself from falling completely out.
With the Akiyama loss, Yushin Okami and Frank Trigg both moved up a spot with Misaki coming in at ten.
Even though he didn't end up fighting vs. Shinya Aoki on New Year's Eve, Gesias "JZ Calvan" Calvancante is still 5 Oz.'s new number one lightweight. B.J. Penn has been penalized for inactivity and I felt I had to drop Gilbert Melendez after his loss to Ishida.
Hayato Sakurai also moved ahead of Penn and Melendez with his win at Yarrenoka against Hidehiko Hasegawa, as did Tatsuya Kawajiri.
Also, with his win over Melendez, who I had previously ranked as my number two lightweight, Ishida was able to crack the top ten at number nine, moving Kenny Florian back a spot and Tyson Griffin out of the top ten completely.
Compiling a top ten at lightweight is so difficult because I believe Griffin, Frankie Edgar, and Roger Huerta are all worthy of being in it. There just aren't enough slots to hold everyone. Ryan Schultz, based on his knockout victory over Chris Horodecki during the finals of the IFL World Grand Prix, garnered some minor consideration as well.
Did you know Antonio Carvalho did loose to Hiroyuki Takaya who you do not have rated? Just curious how you can explain this honestly because that ranking is odd at best. At least you should have Hiroyuki Takaya ranked for his win aganist Antonio Carvalho right?
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
How about a separate lightweight ranking for the UFC? Might be a bit boorish to not include the other organizations' fighters, but I'm personally curious to see how you'd rank them.
I do agree that Machida deserves the #2 spot at LHW. I'd love to see that guy against Liddell, or maybe even Tito– though that might be a bit stepping stone-ish for him.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
When will you guys get with program and call Lyoto by his right name? Machida has stated in an interview that his name is spelled with an L. Even Sherdog has finally own up to the mistake.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
MaxFighting: A lot of people still insist on calling you Ryoto. Did you already give up of the intention of telling people that you real name starts with "L"?
Machida: My full name is Lyoto Carvalho Machida, but I have no problem of the fans calling me Ryoto if they prefer.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0

Cramer Quick Take: HP Is The Next Kodak
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is about to have a Kodak moment, Jim Cramer told Lindsey Bell at TheStreet.com Thursday.
He said the technology world is littered with companies whose technology was outdone by a better mousetrap, and HP will likely be another of those casualties.
Cramer said while HP CEO Meg Whitman appears to be more realistic than when she first took over at the company, he'd also heard similar turnaround efforts from the likes of Data General and Digital Equipment in the 1980s and is seeing it again with Kodak, Nokia (NOK) and Research In Motion (RIMM) today.RIM is small enough to be taken over, said Cramer, but HP is not, making its only option to wither as tablets and phones replace old-line PCs. When it comes to Apple (AAPL), a stock Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, he said the company's current mapping issues are only a short-term problem. In the end, Apple's closed architecture is proving to be the winner against commodity PCs that use Microsoft (MSFT) and Intel (INTC) components.

University policy recognizes that substance abuse is a complex problem that is not easily resolved solely by personal effort and may require professional assistance and/or treatment. Accordingly, each campus and System-wide Services have designated an individual to assist employees and students who seek referral for assistance with a substance-abuse problem. Students, faculty, and staff members with substance-abuse problems are encouraged to take advantage of available diagnostic, referral, counseling, and prevention services. However, employees and students availing themselves of these services will not be granted special privileges and exemptions from standard personnel practices applicable to job performance requirements and from standard academic and student conduct requirements. The University will not excuse acts of misconduct committed by employees and students whose judgment is impaired due to substance abuse.
Alcoholic Beverages
The sale, possession, and use of alcohol on campuses of the University of Maine System must comply with the laws of the state of Maine and with local University regulations and procedures. The acquisition, possession, transportation, and consumption of alcohol by anyone under 21 years of age is prohibited by University policy.
Alcohol may be possessed or consumed on University property only by persons 21 years of age or older in appropriately licensed and/or approved campus facilities. Persons are expected to assume responsibility for their own behavior while drinking and must understand that being under the influence of alcohol in no way lessens their accountability to the University community.
Illegal Drugs
The possession, use, manufacture, or distribution of illegal drugs (heroin, cocaine, marijuana, LSD, steroids, etc.) is prohibited at any time on University property and as part of any University activities. "Illegal drugs" does not mean the use of drugs under a valid prescription. Employees and students known to use, possess, manufacture, or distribute illegal drugs are liable to public law-enforcement actions and University disciplinary actions. In compliance with Federal law, the University of Maine System has a policy regarding drug and alcohol testing for employees who operate commercial vehicles.
Employees who violate the University's policy will be subject to disciplinary action by the University. The severity of the imposed sanctions will be appropriate to the violation; possible sanctions include suspension, probation, dismissal, restitution, official censure or reprimand, referral for prosecution, participation in a rehabilitation program, and other actions the University deems appropriate. If a need for consultation exists, contact the University of Maine Employee Assistance Program at 581-4014. Violations should be reported to the Assistant Vice president of Human Resources by calling 581-1581.
Special Rules That Apply to Employees and Students Under the Drug Free Workplace Act
In November of 1988, the United States Congress enacted the Anti-Drug Abuse Act which contains a section called the "Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988." This section requires organizations receiving federal grants and contracts to ensure that their workplaces are from illegal use, possession, manufacture, or distribution of controlled substances.
The law requires employers who receive federal funds to:
As a result of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, a court of law may suspend or terminate an individual's eligibility for federal benefits, including student financial assistance, if that individual is convicted of certain drug offenses.
As a University employee, the Drug Free Workplace Act requires you to notify your supervisor (for example, Department Director or Principal Investigator) if you are convicted of any workplace-related criminal drug violation. You must notify your supervisor within five calendar days after the conviction. Failure to report a conviction may be grounds for dismissal.
Grantees, whether the University or individuals, must report in writing to the contracting or granting agency within 10 calendar days of receiving notice of the conviction.
Violations of the Drug Free Workplace Act can result in:

Hartman Creek State Park: http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/parks/name/hartman/
Every so often, I allow myself to venture out of the confines of The Levis Mound Trail to visit other singletrack. As the sport of fatbiking continues to spread, new riding opportunities are popping up all over and trail builders incorporating snow grooming to meet those needs.
Hartman State Park near Waupaca is under the radar in the mountain bike community, which is a shame, because the Cronies Trail Crew, who design and trail build there, has done an exceptional job.
Now with the influx of fatbikes, they have taken on the challenge of winter biking.
Friend Scott Cole at the nearby Hostel Shoppe in Stevens Point, tipped me off to the winter riding opportunity there, 'forcing' me to visit. Winter use at the park allows fatbikes on packed snowshoe trail and singletrack, the former snowmobile groomed. Very recently, the park agreed to allow machine grooming of the singletrack as well. Until this point, snowshoes alone were the 'grooming' method of choice-an arduous task at best with many miles to prepare. As many trail systems have discovered, if you want to ride a lot of varied trails and you have deep snow, machine grooming is the only realistic way to go.
More on cycling: Cycling news from around the state | Your cycling photos | Create a map for your next cycling trip
Arriving early, before the high March sun would start to soften things (as later riders discovered), a park ranger pointed me to a trailhead off Windfelt Lane within the park.
The packed snowshoe trails get a lot of use from hikers and SS'ers, so the surface can be somewhat rough, but it's a small price to pay on a shared trail. Well signed 'you are here' intersections made getting lost nearly impossible, plus the fact that I needed to stay on anything rideable. The SS trails were hard and fast but I really needed to give the really narrow singletrack a try. It was more like a trials ride, staying in the center and concentrating on keeping my pedals from the snowbanks and wheels in the center. It was a lot of fun.
Some of the less used singletrack was too soft, for I'd been the only one recently putting fat tires down on the trail. Of course, after doing some loops I discovered the 'Singletrack Trailhead' figuring out I'd started my ride from the wrong parking lot.
Keeping the ride simple and fun, I jumped onto a snowmobile trail that runs through the park (I think it was legal-bike and hike signs pointed that way) for some fast prairie riding. I was dumped out near a horse trail parking area (probably where I should have started?) and other hiking and classical ski trails. The SS trail continued between a couple lakes and returned me to the main park entrance. Nice easy riding through tall pines and I had my bearings again.
As the Cronies Trail Crew experiment with what works for them on their trails, I'm sure the old adage If you build it-they will come, will hold very true. Hartman is a beautiful park, with varied terrain, remnants of the Ice age (the Ice Age Trail does run through the park) to give riders a unique experience. I know I'll be back in the summer ... and winter!

I would like to make a few comments about the community center that everyone is talking about. I believe it is my job as a council member to listen to our citizens and support or not support things after giving thought to the matter.
Sometimes that is hard to do because people have a variety of ideas and opinions about things.
When talking about the community center it has not been hard to decide whether to support it or not. The only people who have talked to me that are positive are people on the committee.
I have had people talk to me in the grocery stores, restaurants, on the streets, on the phone, at Maplecrest County Club and at church.
Not one of those people were in favor of the center. Many pointed out that there are wants and needs and this is a want. By some people, it is not a need. We have empty houses all over town. At this time in Goshen, why would we want to build a center that is not needed, that will raise everyone's property taxes?
A couple of weeks ago I decided to talk to business owners in town about the center.
Out of the dozen I talked to, only one said she thought it would be good for Goshen, but she understood why people are concerned about the cost. The others were all against the center and some said they were barely keeping their heads above water now and could not handle any more unnecessary expenses.
Several people pointed out that the city has been giving tax breaks to encourage business to invest here and employ our citizens. We need to be concerned about getting our citizens back to work, making a living wage so they can stay in their homes and take care of their families. We are paying more for everything while many people are earning less than they earned five or 10 years ago, if they have a job.
Many are talking about the two fitness centers that just recently opened in town. Those people invested their own money, not someone else's. Now the center, if built, would be built with tax money and would be in competition with all the other fitness centers in town. People that have invested their own money in our city.
Another thing people have been in complete agreement about on that have been talking to me is support for the schools' needs. But those needs don't need to be tied to a community center to fix.
Citizens have been quick to point out that they have a great deal of respect for the people on the community center commission.
People are more frequently telling me they don't understand why this committee is continuing to push for the center when we don't need it and the citizens of Goshen can't afford it.
We don't have a choice about buying goods we have to have but we do have a choice about building a community center.
— Dixie Robinson is the District 3 representative on the Goshen City Council.

Town Square
YES-Fresh and Easy in P-town is staying open
Original post made by Stella on Sep 11, 2013
If you haven't shopped here yet (come on now they have been open for over two years now), I recommend them for all your food shopping. Always can find a parking spot.

What does "not to nice" mean? Please explain.
on Sep 11, 2013 at 9:28 am
I dropped by Fresh and Easy to check them out right after they first opened their store here in Pleasanton. I was not impressed: Nothing much unique or interesting in the way of projects. Nothing special in terms of prices. And I found the atmosphere pretty cold and sterile with colorless aisles lit with harsh fluorescent lighting. I concluded that Trader Joe's had them beat on all counts and have never returned.

I usually stop in once a week. Trader Joe's has them ALL beat. We have so many choices, I've become a pretty 'selective' shopper. I hit Safeway, Trader Joes, WalMarket, F&E. Good for us all, while we have those choices.

By Maurielle LueFox 2 NewsEASTPOINTE, Mich. (WJBK) -- A diamond cross has taken on new meaning. It was a gift from Justin Kovalcik's mother, who was tragically killed Tuesday night in a hit and run accident at Eight Mile and Gratiot in Eastpointe."I definitely will miss her, and I have to bury my mom at 20 years old. It sucks," Kovalcik said. "That was a very good woman that passed away."50-year-old Shelly Hackbarth was on foot crossing westbound Eight Mile near Gratiot when she was struck by a white or silver Dodge Intrepid. Police are talking to witnesses and reviewing surveillance video, but so far no arrest has been made.Kovalcik's 21st birthday is next week, a milestone he had hoped to celebrate with his mother. Hackbarth loved to smile and watch funny movies, but most of all she loved her son. He spoke with her just three hours before she died. He never imagined it would be their last conversation."Every time I was around her, I felt like she was my best friend, and she really was important to me," said Kovalcik.
A Shelly Lynn Hackbarth Memorial Fund has been established at Huntington Bank. A fundraiser is also planned for 7:00 p.m. on Friday, January 18 at the Continental bowling alley in Roseville.

The kiss you were waiting for?
Every year, when real-life couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart win Best Kiss at the MTV Movie Awards, we look forward to seeing what they'll do on stage together. Despite egging on from the audience, they never actually kiss each other. But this year, a kiss finally happened. Except it was between Twilight co-stars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner instead.

Hosting Conversations about Questions that Matter
There are people gathering here in the World Cafe community from literally all over the world, and it is so exciting!!! I really want to meet everyone, and I know I'm not alone. Would you please tell us a little about yourself here, just as an introduction, so we can start to learn about each other? Where do you live? How did you learn about the World Cafe? What are your interests and passions?
NOTE: The convention on this part of the site is that the responses are in chronological order, so you have to click forward to the last page (at the bottom of this page) to see the latest introductions.

Hello All:
I am an artist who has lived and worked in several countries and in many states of the United States, simply because I moved around (as a child my father was in management for GE). I currently live in New Harmony, Indiana, which was founded by two utopian communities and today is home to many artists of all disciplines. I enjoy this atmosphere and find I have lots of friends here by virtue of our mutual interests.
I have heard about the World Café community from others, but recently I went onto the site, since a friend also is a member and was impressed by it, so thought I would join.
I paint a lot, write a lot and play music a little. I teach at the University of Southern Indiana for a living, in the Art Department and Humanities Department. I stay busy not only painting, but exhibiting my work in exhibitions locally and nationally, which is interesting in itself. I also travel whenever I can and have friends in many major cities in the U.S. and elsewhere that I like to visit. My life is very full and rewarding. I hope to meet more friends and learn more about other places that I have not been and things that people all over the world do.
Thanks for welcoming me.
Jill Withrow Baker
Welcome Jill....great to have you here....and there is a group related to the Arts and the World Cafe---look under groups and you´ll find it!
Thanks, Juanita!
I just joined Cafe. I am a retired IT professional and ex-Army pilot. I got involved with a project our town is doing with the Barter Theatre, State theatre of Virginia, and CPI - Community Performance International (www.communityperformanceinternational.org). They go into small communities and collect stories of the people who live there or lived there and put them into a play that is performed for the community. With that I have collected numerous stories and with everyone I collect my life is changed and intertwined with that story teller. The directors of CPI met with Juanita Brown and David Issacs, co-founders of the Cafe, and with members of EPIC-International (http://www.epicinternational.org), who works with under-privileged kids, met in Jonesborough,TN. site of a current CPI show, and the home of the National Storytelling Center, and realized that they could take what each does and combine in a training, educational and entertaining session, thurs Staging Change (http://www.historicjonesborough.com/Staging%20Change/). We started with the sessions on Friday morning, after seeing the CPI play on Thursday night. We worked through the tables of four used by the Cafe and then began breaking into groups with similar interests. We met later that afternoon in groups of 8 and told our stories, stories that changed our lives. From that a story was saved. On Sat morn we broke into groups of 2 and told our stories. Then we reversed roles and told the others story, thus that story became mine. We selected one of those stories to tell. We then met with another group of 2 and did the same, again I got a new story. Once all groups had selected a story, we created a play. Practiced, choreographed, wrote music and performed a play Saturday night, before an audience. Sundaywas discussing the experience (tables of 4) , what we learned, etc.
Hi Gary, Greg, Michael, Cat, and Sally...
I've been away for a while and am so excited to see you all here in the World Cafe community. I am so touched by the amazing people who are finding the World Cafe useful in their lives and work....and I look forward as well to many wonderful conversations together.
Happy holidays to all of you and welcome!
Juanita Brown
Thanks, Juanita,
So much hope for the future comes through this work.
Hello everyone! My name is Greg Willeford. I am the owner of Willeford Group a consulting organization located in Salem, Oregon. My passion is helping others make positive change in the world through the development of authentic leadership.
I am about to launch a new leadership development project. An important component of my leadership development and educational series is fostering "conversational leadership". Focusing upon questions that really matter using the principles of World Cafe is such an important aspect of conversational leadership.
I also use Appreciative Inquiry and leadership coaching in my practice. The World Cafe is a wonderful adjunct to my work.
In addition to my consulting/educational practice, I am on faculty at a local university researching and teaching on a variety of social science subjects. I have a background in state government (public safety) administration), non-profit, and private business.
Along with the development of a new leadership series, I am wanting to develop a World Cafe involving the topic of "resiliency" for public safety/health care workers. The goal of this conversation is to help public safety/health care workers develop sustainable strategies to build/enhance personal resilience in their lives so they grow and continue good works in a pretty traumatic world. I would be very interested to talk with any other members that are interested in this type of conversation or who have held a similar cafe conversation.
I am excited to be part of this wonderful community!!
Hi, All,
My name is Cat Greeenstreet. I live in Sloatsburg in Rockland County New York; I also usually spend about two days a week in New York City. I learned about World Cafe by participating in one in a school where I worked at the time, although I didn't know what the process was called. A few months later, a participant in a Courage & Renewal® retreat I was facilitating told me I should check it out. I am interested in facilitating and participating in social forms that allow everyone to show up, that maximize knowledge of self and community through inclusive, disciplined sharing that has the potential to offer us the experience of being part of a creative, potent, loving, and miraculous wholeness. I am passionate about bringing Spirit into practical life by co-creating trustworthy spaces in which we can experience the invisible reality around us, spaces in which to build inner capacities for living creatively with the dynamic tension between what is and how we know things could be. World Cafe feels like one of those kind of spaces, and I'm eager to learn more and to do more with it.
I am a behavioural change consultant, author and coach, working internationally and living in the South West of the UK, near Bath and in the Auvergne in France. My background is in the corporate and very commercial world and my learning from those experiences has fuelled my passion to help individuals find balance and authenticity in their lives, by living their true values and understanding their preferences and how these impact the world around them. My Doctoral thesis was specifically about identity crises in lawyers. I work with huge international organisations as well as individuals and children and bring creativity and fun to my work which is far more than having a conversation.
I am married to a husband who is an engineer now converted to soft skills, we have three children and three dogs. I am delighted to be part of this community and am looking forward to some scintillating conversation about how the world is and how we can help each other in this challenging yet exciting environment.

Cat isn't using litterbox properly; is there a solution?by Dr. Lisa Radosta
Question: I have a cat that is going on 2 years old. I found him in my neighbor's garage and rescued him. I don't think he has ever used the litter box for pooping. He pees in it, but poops either just outside his box or at the front door. This is so frustrating to me. I've tried different litter, changing where his box is, giving him more privacy, a different size box… I'm at the end of my rapidly fraying rope. Help!- Kim
Answer: It may make you feel a little better to know that your cat's problem is the most common behavioral problem reported in cats and that there are lots of solutions. Whenever a cat is stressed, it seems that litterbox behavior is the first thing to go. Unfortunately, even if you correct the original problem, the behavior can continue. For example, if your cat lived in the garage with a litterbox that was rarely cleaned, he may have learned not to defecate in the litterbox.
Try these simple tips to get your cat back into the litterbox. Remember to try any changes for about two weeks to really see what works and what doesn't. If you are still having trouble after making the changes below, go see your veterinarian to have your cat examined. I have seen two cats recently who were presented for inappropriate elimination who actually were constipated. They had made a painful association with the litterbox when defecating and wouldn't visit the box anymore.
1. Supersize your box. Cats like lots of space so get a very large box.
2. Clean your box at least once daily.
3. Make sure that you have at least one more box than the number of cats that you have.
4. Place at least one box where your cat is eliminating.
5. Keep dogs and other pets who might intimidate the offending cat away from the box.
You can find more tips on my website: www.flvetbehavior.com. Click on Articles and then select view old newsletters. The take home message is that feline inappropriate elimination is common and most often can be resolved. If these tips and your veterinarian can't help you, go to www.dacvb.org to find a veterinary behaviorist near you to help you resolve the problem.

The Pac-12 presidents will vote on expansion by the end of the week, which could mean that invites will be extended to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to realign from the Big 12.
CGB looks closer at expansion
SBN Pac12 Sites Roundtable the Expansion, a discussion on Pac10 expansion
Q+A with new Pac12 SBN site, BlockU, learning more about Utah sports!
The Pac-10 as we know it will be entering its final season in 2010; Utah will be joining in the 2011-12 season, and Colorado is likely to follow. No decisions have been made yet on a conference...
Rivals writer Chip Brown claims Larry Scott and the Pac-10 dropped the ball at the last second. Is this the Texas Longhorns athletic department spinning the story to their benefit?
Could we be seeing the end of the California college football rivalries? Cal and Stanford could be headed to the Pac-12 North and USC & UCLA to the Pac-12 South.
The University of Texas has declined an invitation to the Pac-10 conference, ending the dream of a sixteen team western super conference that would've lorded over college sports.
A helpful Q+A clears up some details of the Pac-10/Pac-16 expansion, specifically regarding basketball, revenue, and non-football/basketball sports.
Chip Brown is saying that Texas A&M plans to join SEC, is wooing indecisive Oklahoma to come with them, and that Kansas, not Utah, would get the last Pac-10 invite?

saw that and the freezer test, but I never done anything close to that to my 7D or my 5D ..
have You?
I know they can do a lot - IF - you are lucky but with the e3, e5 it was a regular thing.. and it was still shiny and perfect unlike the burned and freezed cams from drtv..
I never had the courage to wash my 7D and risk the warranty, but with my e3 I knew it can handle it...
I've never submerged and frozen my 7D, however I have used it in some pretty extreme weather. This April 2012, I spent more than eight hours one day at Chatfield State Park here in Colorado. On that one day, it rained profusely, sleeted, snowed a couple times, and at a couple points it even hailed dime-sized hail. I had my camera out, soaking wet, photographing birds the entire time. You can read about that on my blog. The featured photo shows a torrential mix of sleet and rain from that day. Both my 7D, and my 100-400mm L lens, were drenched for most of the day, and didn't skip a beat. Never had any fogging or anything like that, either on that day or any day since.

Codex tools: Log in
A Search Page is a WordPress Page with a custom Page template to give users more information for searching your site.
Different WordPress Themes feature different template files. Some include a search.php template file. This is not a Search Page, it is merely a template that displays the search results. There is also a template file called searchform.php. This is a template file that is often included in the sidebar of many themes and generates the search box form. If there isn't one in your theme, you can easily copy it from the Default theme.
To create your own custom Search Page, you will need to create a Page template to include your search form and the information you want your users to see before they search your site.
Check your WordPress Theme to see if it includes a page.php template file. The Default WordPress Theme does include this template, but many do not. If it does, then follow these instructions. If it does not, we have the information you need to create your own.
1. Using a text editor, open the page.php and save as searchpage.php. (Note: The filename search.php is reserved as a special template name, so avoid its usage; the suggested searchpage.php just makes it easy to recognize in the list of files.)
2. After saving it, edit the file:
<?php get_search_form(); ?>
<?php /* Template Name: Search Page */ ?>
For certain older versions of WordPress
For WordPress v3.0 and above
You are now ready to customize the look of your Search Page.
If you do not have a page.php, you can create one based upon your Theme's index.php template file.
Search results and Pagination may stop working when applying customization to the search template. To avoid these issues the first thing any developer needs to do is add the following code to the start of their Search template to ensure that the original WordPress query is preserved. To customize the query append additional arguments to (array) $search_query. Execute the $search_query through a new $wp_query object, more information on the WP_Query object can be found at https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
<?php global $query_string; $query_args = explode("&", $query_string); $search_query = array(); foreach($query_args as $key => $string) { $query_split = explode("=", $string); $search_query[$query_split[0]] = urldecode($query_split[1]); } // foreach $search = new WP_Query($search_query); ?>
Additional customization arguments can be found on the Codex at https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
To access the total number of search results from a search, you should retrieve the total number of posts found using the wp_query object.
<?php global $wp_query; $total_results = $wp_query->found_posts; ?>
More information on WP Query can be found on the Codex at https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
You can now make a link to your custom Search Page in several ways.
Search Page OR <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/?page_id=17">Search Page
Search Page OR <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wordpress/search-page" title="Search Page">Search Page
Above the include function for your searchform.php within the content div, you can add text to help visitors search your site.

 My Site features articles about WordPress, web page design, website development, and CSS.

To search my website, please use the form below.
 <?php get_search_form(); ?>
You might want to include a list of keywords or other information, images, or details to customize your custom Search Page.

Ever so slightly hazy yellow-gold. Big white head with lots of bubbles rushing to the surface.
Pils malt aroma with a little grassy hops in the background. The green hop aroma picks up a little as the beer sits in the glass, and begins to take on a bit of a spice tone.
A decent amount of hop flavor is evident at the first sip. All the carbonation seems to get in the way though and the beer foams up a little while tasting. Crackery malt becomes more pronounced on ensuing sips. A little more bitter than I was expecting; the hop flavor doesn't come through as much as the bitterness.
A little heavily carbonated for my tastes.
Nice kellerbier, not the best but they're generally a little livelier and fuller than their filtered counterparts, which I like.
The yeast was really caked onto the bottom of the bottle, with more yeast mixed in it of course would have had a yeastier aroma and taste to it. I'll be sure to swirl up my next bottle a bit to taste it that way.
Second bottle drunk the next day with all the yeast swirled in. Naturally, a much fuller body and richer mouthfeel with a some lemon zest both in aroma and taste that I find commonly in these kellerbiers. I prefer it this way, and have boosted the score accordingly.

Note: this beer is now simply named Kellerbier.
Poured from a 500ml bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a hazy yellowy golden colour with a nice, lasting head.
Smells very yeasty.
Tastes very yeasty, nicely malty with light, biscuity malts, and some fruity hops.
Overall a very good, very drinkable beer.

First window of the 2012 Beer Advent Calendar. 330ml bottle with a vintage looking German label.
A - Straw yellow with a cool looking haziness. Head dissipates quickly.
S - Nothing huge, but better than most light coloured brews.
T - Good but not great. Light but with a little extra that keeps it interesting.
M - Nothing stands out.
Pretty decent beer. First time I've ever tried a Kellerbier. Not something I would purchase frequently but it definitely has its place in the yearly rotation. ie) German World Cup party. Breweries website looks pretty cool and the hotel on site is something I would be interested in experiencing.

This is Beer 1 from the Rieder Advent Calendar. Pours a hazy pale yellow colour, thin white head with no lacing. The smell is all lager yeast, totally one-dimensional. The sweetness is mild with a little lemon, quite enjoyable, but that is about all I enjoyed. The flavour is thin, and the finish has way too much funk for me. There is a hint of honey, and some grassy notes, but I just found this beer sorely lacked flavour. I will say that this is only the second Kellerbier I've ever had, so I'm not exactly familiar with the style, but this wasn't for me.

330ml bottle. The first window in the 2012 Craft Beer Advent Calendar, and a lovely revelation early this morning before work, for those of us who actually waited.
This beer pours a cloudy, very, very pale golden straw colour, with three fingers of dense, melted marshmallow-esque white head, which leaves some random streaky and specked lace around the glass as it evenly slips away.
It smells of sweet, doughy, grainy pale malts, a bit of raw oatmeal, and very tame floral, earthy hops. The taste is more grainy, white cereal malt, a touch of sour breadiness, a bit of astringently leafy hops, and some nicely generic earthy notes.
The carbonation is fairly understated, and non-consequential, the body a hefty medium weight, and generally quite smooth. It finishes well off-dry, the cereal malt still hanging on in a leisurely manner, as the hop and fruit essences make little effort beyond their quotidian means.
A decently malty lager, with that default Bavarian bready character - nothing complicated, but very easy to drink - which puts it right in the middle of its sibling's metrics. A reserved, but relatively stellar start to this whole revisitation to our more (or less?) impressionable youth. Good on ya, Christian!

330ml bottle poured into pint glass 27/9/12
A hazy peachy pale yellow with lots of bubbles but not much for head or lace
S sweet malts with some floral hops and dry cereal, not a whole lot going on really
T tastes a little stronger and sweeter, has some fruity notes and earthy tones, I prefer the flavor as its stronger and there's more to it
M light bodied and just a little foamy, refreshing and a faint grassy finish
O decent beer but I was expecting a little more from Ayinger, easy enough to drink and good flavor but not the best version of the style I've had recently
From a classic German brewery I was expecting something special and this one's just decent. I've had a few beers from this Beer Advent Calendar that leaves me wondering about age and transport of the bottles. The BB dates a few months away but that could still have this one well past its prime

50cl bottle poured into Spaten seidel
BBE April 2012
A- Dark blonde cloudy body with a crisp solid 3 finger white head that produces very good lacing and retention
S- Slightly musty/earthy, floral hops and touch of biscuit malt
T- Low biscuity malt sweetness throughout with a strong but not dominating earthy hop presence in the finish with a little citrus. Finish is semi-dry.
M- Medium carbonation and mouthfeel.
D- Refreshing amount of hops in the finish. A nice balance between malt and hop, with the bitterness in the semi dry finish being very refreshing. Easy on the tongue and stomach. An excellent example of the style.

500ml bottle. Weizen glass. Enjoyed on may´12. (thanks – one more time- to Manolo from "Cerveceria Freiburg" ´cause it´s not too easy to find nice spots of Kellerbier style) Pale golden in color, chill haze. Mildy malty & floral hop aromas. Maltiness all around overwhelms low bitterness –shown by a subtle citric touch- . Some ripe apples too. Gentle mouthfeel & well balanced finish. Pleasant drinkability.

Bottle brought home from Munich by my son last month to share (photo submitted for this listing).
A= light cloudy lemon-yellow akin in color to a Witte. Fair carbonated white head dissipating quickly.
S= very nice spicy hops florals, a bit peppery, a citrus aroma and some light malts.
T= much like the scent, spicy citrus hops, nice sweet malts, more than I'd expected for such a light-colored beer. A drop of buckwheat honey.
M= clean, slightly tart and pepper, a bit of sweet malty syrup.
O= I'd session on this (he and his friends did on-tap over in Germany) easily. Great with anything that would go with something akin to a Witte but with more malt-flavor.

Served vom fass in a tall 0.5 liter with 1.5 inch head. Opaque pale straw color. Fresh hay and mild hops aroma. Crisp cold slightly bitter slightly citrus bite. Bright and pallate cleansing, ok with a thick complicated pork and gravy dish. Modest carbonation very comforting mouthfeel. Enjoyed fresh at Liebhard's Braustuberl in Aying.

The beer pours a light yellow color with a white head. The aroma is wheat, grass and earthy hops. The flavor has a lot of strong grain notes to it with some wheat and earthy hops mixed in. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Had on-tap at Liebharts braustuberl. From notes at the bierhall---
Pours a clean golden color,light murkiness, however a really nice fluffy head rises out of the glass.
Light very floral smelling kellerbier, wheras most biers of this style are very musty, and are very similar to a hefe, this one is like a floral Helles or a Pils. Light malty biscuity malts, sweet oranges, grassy and fresh. As the the beer warmed a bit, I found the sweetness a bit too overbearing. The beer becomes pretty one-note, but nonetheless is very refreshing and light, but a touch too sweet for my taste
--bottle 6/05/2010 Upon finding a random bottle of this beer, as I was told it can only be found on tap, I want to expand a bit.
The aroma is very true to the on-tap glass. Orange, malt, biscuit and a very nice fresh grass note. Lemon, musty tartness and candied brown sugar round out the profile.
The flavor is a bit spicier now than what I originally wrote in my on-tap review. the sweetness is still a bit too dominant, but the finish has a definitive spicy peppery character in the throat.. This is a solid Kellerbier, not the best, but good and a pleasant surprise to find in the bottle.

I was pretty bummed when I saw that they discontinued the old Reynolds 3's. The vulcanized ones. I was a bit hesitant about this latest incarnation but let me tell you that these are straight up THE best shoes (skate shoes or otherwise) that I have EVER owned. The sole is incredibly cushiony without sacrificing the board feel of the old ones. It feels like the entire shoe just molds to your foot. I can tell that these will skate amazing. And they look absolutely awesome!
I`m buying another pair for work as they are truly the most comfortable shoes I`ve ever worn. Buy these! You will not regret it. When the Boss says these are the best shoes ever. He`s not exaggerating at all.

Deadline to apply for quota permits for fall hunting is June 30Monday, June 25th, 2012
Saturday (June 30) is the deadline to apply for quota-hunt permits needed to hunt on public land in Florida.
The deadline sneaked up on me this year, but my son reminded me to apply.
It's a lottery process. Complete a worksheet, make a free application (either online or at a tax-collector's office or at a store that sells hunting licenses) and wait to find out if you have been awarded a hunt for a certain date at a location of your choice.
Hunters can apply for permits for several types of hunts in the first phase of the application process: archery, muzzleloading gun, general gun youth, family, track vehicle, airboat, and mobility-impaired.
It's best to start with a worksheet. Find one by going to www.myfwc.com/license. Then click on "limited entry/quota hunts."
Later application periods will be avaiable for leftover hunts, but the application periods might be different than last year because the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission is switching to a new license and permit vendor.
After completing the worksheet, use it to apply for the hunts of your choice at www.myfwc.com or submit the worksheet to a tax collector or a store that sells hunting licenses.

Colts QB Curtis Painter is far from the only reason the club is 0-10 and the front-runner in the Andrew Luck derby — he actually put his team in position to win a few games early in the season. That seems like a distant memory, however, as Painter's recent struggles have led to his benching in each of the past two losses. Although head coach Jim Caldwell has been noncommittal to naming a starter for the club's Week 12 contest against Carolina, we hear it is likely Painter again will get the nod. A source close to the situation indicated that Painter and Dan Orlovsky are essentially "the same guy" and the club is unlikely to fare better with Orlovsky under center. The source said while the chances are slim, he would not rule out the possibility of Dan LeFevour being promoted from the practice squad before season's end. Even if the Colts stick with Painter, we hear there are serious doubts about his ability to be a serviceable backup.

After years of financial troubles, the Louisville Orchestra's major donors have said they will no longer continue to artificially prop up the Orchestra. They have demanded that the board field an orchestra this community can afford. That means 50 full time musicians.
For the first time in the Orchestra's history, this board of directors is determined to do the hard and necessary work the donors and the economics have demanded, but since the musicians don't like that message, they want to kill the messenger. They want the board to agree to an outside consultant who will have binding authority to change the management and change the by-laws of the board and everything about how the Orchestra is run. Management isn't the problem. Economics is the problem.
The musicians keep getting distracted instead of staying on a productive path. The musicians themselves should insist that their negotiating committee get focused on one thing: getting the musicians back to work.
I can tell you, as a board member, we would much rather have a deal with our current musicians, but the board's responsibility isn't to the musicians – it's to the community. We are charged with putting an affordable symphonic orchestra on the stage. If the current musicians aren't going to play, then we must find musicians who will.
It isn't really any more complicated than that.
Call and share your thoughts.

Police responded to an armed robbery at 1199 South 5th Avenue around 2 a.m. Saturday.
According to the Wilmington Police Department, a man and woman met up downtown for the fireworks show.
On the way home from the show, the two individuals were approached by three male suspects at 5th and Mears Street, one of which pointed a small gun at the male victim and demanded money.
The victim handed the suspects a small amount of cash, some alcohol they had just purchased, a pack of cigarettes, and the male victim's phone.
After taking the items the suspects fled on foot, followed by the woman with the male victim who ran after them. According to the male victim the woman never returned after running after the suspects.
The three suspects were wearing all black clothing and had bandanas on their faces at the time of the incident.

Although he made just one catch in Tampa Bay's 20-17 loss to Jacksonville, rookie wide receiver Paris Warren made it count. On second-and-20 from the Jacksonville 45, Warren ran a deep seam route across the field and took a Luke McCown pass down the right sidelines for a touchdown that helped bring the Bucs within three points with 4:46 remaining in the game. Warren's 45-yard score makes him PewterReport.com's Most Valuable Player.
Warren, one of the Bucs' seventh-round picks this year, showed tremendous body control as he walked the tight rope down the right sidelines after picking up a great block from rookie tight end Alex Smith.
With Michael Clayton, Joey Galloway and Ike Hilliard entrenched at the first three wide receiver positions, and Edell Shepherd the current favorite to claim the fourth receiver spot, Tampa Bay head coach Jon Gruden claimed that Warren is the front-runner for the fifth position on the depth chart.
"I like Paris," Gruden said. "He's a young guy who has stepped up now, physically after the catch and as an overall offensive player he has a chance. He's good on special teams. He's got something about him on game day. He just lights up on game day and makes plays, much like he did for Urban Meyer down at Utah. We're excited about him and proud of him.
"You've got to say Paris Warren is pounding on our door."
