Absolutely fun tune. Recalling memories of Gato Barbieri and Mahavishnu Orchestra, this ensemble plays with a joyfulness that's impossible not to embrace. I've listened to the entire album, and I highly recommend it. They're a voice that doesn't come through the AAJ dotd very often, and not since I've been on board.

Stephanie Coontz: Marriages divided by classtags: Stephanie Coontz, marriage, class
..."There are really good studies showing that single people are more likely than married couples to be in touch with friends, neighbors, siblings and parents," said Bella DePaulo, author of "Singled Out" and a visiting professor of psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
But that doesn't mean they'll be single forever. "There are not just more types of families and living arrangements than there used to be," said Stephanie Coontz, author of the coming book "Intimate Revolutions," and a social historian at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash. "Most people will move through several different types over the course of their lives."
At the same time, the old-fashioned family plan of stably married parents residing with their children remains a source of considerable power in America — but one that is increasingly seen as out of reach to all but the educated elite.
"We're seeing a class divide not only between the haves and the have-nots, but between the I do's and the I do nots," Dr. Coontz said. Those who are enjoying the perks of a good marriage "wouldn't stand for any other kind," she said, while those who would benefit most from marital stability "are the ones least likely to have the resources to sustain it."...

A vehicle caught fire Thursday morning on the I-55 ramp to I-20 West. No one was injured, but black smoke could be seen for miles.
The fire was reported around 9:30 a.m. and Jackson Police, the Jackson Fire Department, and the Mississippi Highway Patrol responded.
The fire was extinguished in a short amount of time, and a tow truck took the burned out vehicle away.
Traffic in the area was disrupted for a little less than an hour.

Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) April 01, 2014
KKP's Paper Cut Campaign (care of Big3 Video Agency) warns of the imminent risks of office chaos: a printer gone rogue, annual reports in disarray, merciless staplers, relentless mail, looming deadlines, staff panic-stricken and unable to contain a massive spread of painful paper cuts.

Shutdown and RMA failure/NIGHTMARE
This review is from: MSI Z87I AC LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Has a lot of features for an iTX board. WiFi feature was very useful. Got this board to take advantage of the new Intel chips. Everything but the ability to shut itself down worked out well.
Cons: So I faced the same problem as another reviewer down below. But I realized that MSI might not be the ideal brand for me. The board could not shutdown itself and required a plug pull or holding the power button for a few seconds. This wasn't an issue with the BIOS setup or the OS choice. When exiting out of the BIOS settings, the board could not power down completely and had to do it manually. Went through phone support with MSI directly and did every software update possible.
Other Thoughts: Really wish I went with another board at the end of everything. I was too quick to jump on this brand just because of a recommendation, price, and rebate. In hindsight, I should have read all the reviews before hand and shouldn't have been so happy with just seeing a POST-up and leaving the rest of the build for the weekend while I worked during the week. With the total cost that I'm putting into this board and the cost associated with getting a "Refurbished" motherboard, I think I should have settled for a different higher costing brand product with better support.

Awesome card, Uh-oh wifi.
This review is from: MSI Z87I AC LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
Pros: -Great Stats and construction!
Cons: -Sata ports happened to be right next to a fan in my case (might not be a problem in your case, and wasn't like a big issue just blocking air flow and hard to plug in connectors)
Other Thoughts: There is something blatantly wrong with the Wi-Fi card or antennas, I've found numerous unsolved Intel tickets about the problem but they either say it's not their fault or to update the drivers. When I'm getting dropped packets and stupid high response times to my home router standing next to it with the antennas fully Tightened there's a problem when I get better connection with lose antennas that's probably a bigger problem. I installed Intel's "newest driver" and bloat-ware which seemed to help until I retightened the antennas and lost it… I used a 5$ Asian wireless receiver the size of a wireless mouse receiver and gotten better results and nothing being dropped. Not recommending anyone using Intel Wireless stuff. "Well maybe it's your router" OK… my router manages to connect to everything else perfectly. I've tried both 5 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz and have had mixed results of which one is working better." Well what about AC" There backwards compatible and should have no problem with n or g. plus it's not like having AC is going to make your internet speeds go up. Just another bottleneck…I do a lot of continuous ping tests when I move my computer or moving the antennae. I'm adding the antenna parts being problem after the fact cause that could be it too.

Fails to shutdown
This review is from: MSI Z87I AC LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Nice features for the price
Cons: This motherboard will not shutdown or reboot. I bought two of these and both systems have the same problem. A reboot or shutdown operation causes the display to turn off but the system stays on until you hold the power button for 4 seconds or cycle the power supply. Annoying.

Small but powerful hang with the big boys
This review is from: MSI Z87I AC LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Wanted something small, since I had limited space. This little guy packs a mean punch. I like the fact that it has multi-networking ports, if I wanted it to be run as a mini server. Multi-video options is a plus. And plenty of USB 3.0 ports. UEFI ready, of course.
Cons: I wish it had more SATA ports. Only has four.

Cons: g skill 2400 8 gb often reverts to 1600

Time most precious subject and selecting it for the poem is also beautiful. (Report) Reply
Tony Avila Sampson
Was TIME born with all the sky?
Can TIME suffer and also die?
Is TIME flat? Or is TIME round?
Where is TIME? Can TIME be found?
Is TIME there with each beat of the heart?
Was TIME there from the very start?
Must TIME go to that being made?
Does TIME show by that being fade?
Can TIME give and also take?
Must TIME be for that to make?
Is TIME real? How is TIME there?
Can TIME be found in a breath of air?
Does the portal of TIME drape the eye as it blinks?
Can TIME be more stranger than a brain that thinks?
Does TIME provide a way dimensions are spaced?
Are all creatures of TIME somehow inwardly paced?
Is all manner of TIME with all matter that be?
Does TIME flow endlessly?
How does the future with TIME flow past?
Does TIME move slow? Can TIME move fast?
Is TIME bound? Or is TIME free?
Is TIME that what is meant to be?

What a cool street! I'll bring something for us as we talk about bikes and I look forward to meeting you.
No Vincent as I have little mechanical ability, but I'm still a fan of great bikes.
Love the photo of Rollie Free at Bonneville and his spirit of less safety gear for more speed is so daring. Couldn't even imagine losing it on the salt flats but it's a real possibility because that stuff is a little loose. Super brave.
The other night I was driving home and heard the song 'Vincent Black Lightning 1952' on the satelite radio - and connected with it. 3 reasons:
1. I like bluegrass music and play mandolin (2 years now);
2. A classic bike IS something to sing about and it's a good little story;
3. A red head in black leather - who can resist?
Best wishes with your Vincent and post some pictures up. Your posts are good and I hope to meet you some day.
hello Jeff,
we've ridden together a couple times, and you've struck me a pleasant guy, a quick rider, and sensible, so I'm wondering if it might interest you to join Peter Irvine (LCPeter) and I for a week of riding in central Oregon the last week of June, leaving June 25 back July 4. based out of Eugene. pretty much a repeat of what Rick Hickson (liketoride) and his group did last year, but he's got other plans. two days heading south, first night in Clatskanie OR. mostly sticking to secondary routes, some even rather obscure. a day each NE, SE, SW, and NW of Eugene, then 2 days back. average day 450-600kms. somewhere between 3 and 8 people.
not sure how your time is and so on, but thought I'd toss it out there...
Don Serl
Do you know or are you friends with Richey from chilliwack?

As Cassini celebrates 10 years at Saturn, we're beginning to see its long-term observations of Saturnian moons bear fruit. A surprising new result: While Prometheus exerts control over the F ring and Atlas, Pandora -- long thought to be a shepherd of the F ring -- does not.

Our Pathway to Exploration Should Start with the Asteroid Redirect Mission
Posted by Louis D. Friedman and Tom Jones on 2014/06/30 06:01 CDT | 51 comments
Despite its rejection by the NRC Committee, we argue that the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) is an affordable and logical first step in such a sequence. ARM is not only consistent with the NRC Committee's own principles, but is also the only near- term initiative that can shape their recommendations into a sustainable human space exploration program. ARM would launch U.S. explorers into deep space beyond the Moon, and fits logically into an exploration program aimed at Mars.

MTV Nixes Lauren Conrad Reality Show; Material Deemed "Too High Brow" For Audienceby Free Britney at . Comments
Last fall, MTV decided to bring back The Hills and Laguna Beach star Lauren Conrad for a new reality series focused on the young star's burgeoning fashion line.
Yesterday, in a bit of a surprise, Conrad's series was passed on by the network.
"We decided not to go ahead with the show," Head of Programming David Janollari said. "It was a great attempt but just didn't feel like a perfect fit for us."
Lauren Conrad personally explained why that is in a statement to EW ...
"We sold a show to MTV, filmed it and are really proud of the final result. MTV felt the subject matter was too high brow for their audience and offered me the opportunity to change the show by incorporating more of my personal life."
"We agreed going in that this would be an aspirational show, focusing on my career and not my personal relationships. We delivered the show that we sold and are sorry MTV didn't feel their viewers were savvy enough to appreciate it."
Conrad says the series was more a documentary than a glossy soap like The Hills. Interesting that she walked, rather than put her personal life back on display.
Basically, Jersey Shore is the new MTV flagship and this didn't fit the bill. Are you disappointed they nixed LC's show? Or did it sound boring anyway?
im so mad that mtv won't show lc show i would loved to watch it she's my role model i hope she gos on vh1 they are better channel then mtv i used to love mtv but they are just getting stupid
@ AShley Too eye brow?! Lmao, I think you mean high brow..?! Lauren Conrad is NOT talented. She's a reality TV whore with no personality. Her clothing line is basic and boring, nothing interesting whatsoever, and she has SO much assistance with designing it, it's hardly a solo project. What talent does she have? Nothing. She embarrassed the crap out of herself on Laguna Beach, her co-stars on The Hills are what made it watchable because Lauren herself is as interesting as watching paint dry.. she's only famous cause sad people obsess over her and how "talented" she is.. what a joke.
I would have liked to watch Lauren the savvy business entrepreneur. Too bad MTV passed up on the show. Hopefully, another network picks it up. Enough with her personal life MTV she's a diverse and talented female.
I would have loved to watch it, im so disappointed its not on, oh well its mtv's loss
i love lauren and i would have watched her show
to the hater writing...shes not stupid..her clothes line is actually nice..must we hate on what we dont have............nd dats not how lauren is..so...hush!
I'll watch it when it airs here in the UK.
I'm gutted I love LC I think she awesome xxx
Oh and her jeggings in her kohls line are awesome haah :)
Lauren Conrad is another stupid bitch who shouldn't be famous. And, yes, MTV only makes shows for the stupid and those who feed off drama. But, seriously? Anyone who was going to watch that show is just as stupid as the people who watch Jersey Shore. Even Jersey Shore has to be more interesting than watching that stupid bitch struggle with, "OMGZ, WAT COLORZ SHUD I USE FOR THIS DRESS???? W8... WAT DOES INCHES MEAN AGAIN? HOW MANY? OMGZ, WAT IS SEVEN? DOES IT COME B4 OR AFTER NINE? OMG, IT IS LYK, SOOOO HARD 2 B ME!!!"
This sounded like a good show and Lauren's career seems a lot more interesting to watch then a bunch of people crying "I used to be Fat". MTV has gone down the shitter.

I have been eating at this establishment for a few years and the food is consistent!!! The building is kind of old looking but the service and food are to be craved for.
Do not eat here..! 90.5 sanitation rating and I can see why. Red head was making sandwiches with no gloves. She was scratching her head with bare hands and then making food and then looked at me with an attitude when I called her on it. That's just disgusting.
the service at papa's pizza was great. the food was served fast and tasted delicious, especially the, "steak calzone". there was a big crowd but the vibe was nice. i like it all except the sweet tea.
We eat here a couple times each month. Salads are especially good, as are french fries. Pizza, calzone, and stromboli are typical of small town Italian restaurants. Pastas are above average.

ASADABAD, Afghanistan (AFP) – – NATO announced on Sunday that it will investigate allegations that its forces killed more than 50 civilians during ongoing operations in the restive east of Afghanistan.
The provincial governor of Kunar province, Fazlullah Wahidi, told AFP that military operations and airstrikes have killed 63 people in the past week, alleging most were civilians including 20 women and three elderly men.
They were killed mostly in air raids by NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) against suspected rebels in Kunar, according to Wahidi.
"In total 63 people have died," he said, adding that at least 20 of the civilians killed were women, 27 were males — the youngest just seven — and three were elderly men.
The governor said the raids in the province's remote Ghaziabad district were still ongoing and that 13 insurgents were among the dead.
ISAF confirmed an ongoing operation in the troubled region, but said as many as 36 insurgents had been killed. It said it was sending investigators to probe the allegations of civilian deaths.
"We are conducting an immediate assessment of these allegations and will report our findings," said US Army Colonel Patrick Hynes in a statement.
"ISAF reporting and weapons system video shows 36 insurgents, who were carrying weapons, were killed. This operation took place in a very remote valley in Kunar province, over very rugged terrain in the late night/early morning hours," the statement added.
Civilian casualties caused by foreign forces are extremely sensitive in Afghanistan where about 140,000 US-led foreign and Afghan troops are waging a counterinsurgency campaign to tackle a nearly ten-year Taliban-led insurgency.
A human rights watchdog said earlier this month that 2010 was the deadliest year for ordinary Afghans since the US-led invasion of 2001, with more than 2,400 civilians killed.
Taliban and other insurgents were responsible for more than 60 percent of the dead, the report by the Afghanistan Rights Monitor said, blaming the US-led force for 21 percent of the casualties.
one word: whitewash.
Next time I get a speeding ticket, I am going to take it to court and demand from the judge that I formally probe the allegation myself. It is going to go over SO well. The NATO/Israel/US-MIC model of accountability investigations is righteous…
the reason no one cares about them is because they are poor, muslim and not white.

Design: Mummy
Fill: +850 fill down
Temperature Rating: -35 F
Weight: 2.0 kg
Price Paid: $625 USD
I've owned and used the Feathered Friends Perigrine for two seasons now. My bag has the 850+ overfill and is probably good to -35 F easy and although the basic design is quite functional there are some changes I would like to make the bag more user friendly.
The first change is solid fabric tape to separate the zipper from the nylon face fabric inside the bag. Too many times I've zipped up the bag only to have the inside fabric snag in the zipper... very annoying and doesn't cost too much weight to solve it.
My second wish would be to change the configuration of the bag to that of Rab Designs Top bag, Nunatak Alpinist, or the newer Western Mountaineering Pod 30. No sense having down at the bottom of the bag when you will squash it (even with full baffles. A "top bag" puts the down where it matters... I have a Nunatak Ghost and it's the best designed bag I have ever used.
Apart from that... I slept in -40 F last March and the bag kept me alive. Can't get much better than that in terms of an endorsement.

Fill: 800+ fill down
Temperature Rating: Very Cold
Weight: unknown
Price Paid: $650
I got this bag last winter as a "special" from Feathered Friends. Another person ordered it and never picked it up or paid for it. Although it exceeds my needs by a good amount (it has 12" of loft) I have been thankful for it on a number of occasions. I lead wilderness trips for adjudicated youth year round and have found the bags quality far exceeds my expectations. It compresses to a very small size, is very warm and comfortable and has held up very well over the past years unse in which I spent over 50 nights in it. If you are looking for a top quality bag I stongly encourage you to consider Feathered Friends.

UFC welterweight Johny Hendricks has a huge opportunity in front of him to close out 2011 with a bang.
It's an opportunity that 15 other men have had before inside the Octagon, but only one (Georges St. Pierre) has ever successfully accomplished: Defeating Jon Fitch.
The Team Takedown fighter has had a strong year, destroying T.J. Waldburger in little more than 90 seconds before earning a decision against the always-game Mike Pierce. He was in a similar situation more than one year ago against Rick Story, fighting on the main card of The Ultimate Fighter 12 (TUF) Finale where he came up short.
And it's been eating at him ever since.
He's put in the time and made the necessary changes to hopefully enter the elite tier of UFC welterweights. If he can pull off the upset over Fitch, who's coming off a 10-month layoff because of a shoulder injury, he will explode into the proverbial "mix" alongside the likes of Jake Ellenberger, Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz.
But first thing's first, he's got to defeat Jon Fitch on Friday night (December 30, 2011) on the main card of UFC 141. Hendricks was recently a guest on Bloody Elbow Radio, talking about just that. He also discussed bringing in Ben Saunders to get inside information, raising his intensity and how changes in his diet could affect his performance.
Check it out:
Matt Bishop: You're fighting Jon Fitch at UFC 141 on Friday night. Would you say this is the biggest fight of your career?
Johny Hendricks: Oh yeah. It's a huge fight right now. This can make my career, you know what I'm saying? That's what it's all about when you get opportunities like this. How am I gonna handle it? Am I gonna fold or am I gonna come out? That's what I like more than anything, that kind of pressure because, let's face it, Jon Fitch, we know how he's gonna fight and we know what he's gonna do. Did I do everything I can to prevent that and did I come up with a good enough gameplan to stop him? That's what's fun about it.
Matt Bishop: When you got the call from the UFC and they said, "Hey, we've got Jon Fitch for you next." Were you expecting to get a bigger fight like that? Were you surprised at all by it?
Johny Hendricks: No, I was hoping. I was praying that I got somebody like that because how else do you get to your end goals? You don't keep staying on the undercard. Sometimes you have to make that jump and whenever you do make that jump, you've got to make the best of it and whenever they said, "Jon Fitch," I was like, "Hey, I've trained for him before!" Mike Pierce is a tough athlete. I think he's a better wrestler than Jon Fitch even though he lost against Jon Fitch, I think Pierce had more weapons and that's one thing that I've already trained for for three months and then I get another 3-4 months to train for the exact same fighter which is nice.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): You mentioned how you like to change things up with your training. Can you tell me about your work with Ben Saunders? I know that you did a lot of training with him in the lead-up to this fight and he's fought Jon Fitch before. What was he able to do to help you prepare for Fitch?
Johny Hendricks: Pretty much, he is a lot of things. Not only is he a great guy to be around, but he's also taller than Jon Fitch. He's got a better clinch game than Jon Fitch. His striking is definitely than Jon Fitch and if I can get to where I can understand where he can hit me from and where he can clinch me from, how to get out of the clinches, how to get takedowns off a taller guy, there's a lot of things that you can work off and I'm so thankful that he's able to come in because it helped me out a ton.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): Yeah, plus the fact that he's fought Jon Fitch before. Did that help as well?
Johny Hendricks: Yeah, the fact that he fought him. He could tell me certain points and certain things that he felt that Jon Fitch did and whenever he spoke, I would listen. That's really what it boils down to. Every time he would say, "We'll this is sort of what I felt like he was doing to me," well, I'd say, "Alright, do it on me. Let's try to figure this out." The whole week was just a lot of nitpicking and every situation that you could think of, we tried to go through.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): From your study of Jon Fitch, he's a guy that's befuddled and neutralized a lot of fighters. Is there something you learned from watching him, like what's something that stands out about Jon Fitch that you really respect or that you even think he does better than you?
Johny Hendricks: Well, what he does better than me? Man, I don't think he does. The only difference between me and Jon Fitch is that at any given moment, I want to either knock you out or finish you by submission. I think Jon Fitch, what he does in his own way and he does very well, is he gets his hand raised. He knows what he has to do to get his hand raised. He knows that he's very athletic enough to get the takedowns and he knows how to control you on the ground. That's what he does. Nobody's seen my ground game because everytime I take somebody down, I don't really try to hold them down. I'd much rather stay on the feet.
Also, people have taken me down and I'm able to close my guard and I haven't gotten to play too much jiu-jitsu because when somebody is throwing down elbows on your face, you'd much rather tie them up than try to do something else. That's one thing that I'm excited to prove to the world that my jiu-jitsu, I've competed with some of the best jiu-jitsu guys out there and I've beat them. I know he's a black belt and I know he's very tough but it's my time to shine. That's my focus. It's my time and that's all I care about.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): Fitch is the kind of fighter that gets stronger as a fight wears on but he also tends to get off to slow starts. Especially with him coming off this shoulder injury, do you think this first round is an opportunity for you to really take advantage if he comes out slow?
Johny Hendricks: Well, the reason why he does so good in the second and third rounds is because of where he's at 98 percent of the time. It's not on the feet, it's on top of somebody, grinding them, making them work. Anybody can have good cardio when you do that. I think that that's gonna be the deciding factor because that's what I want to do. I want to push his cardio. I want to see how good of shape he really is and other than that, I don't know. I just can't wait. Every opportunity, I talk about it. Every opportunity, I think about it. Friday gets closer but not quick enough.
Matt Bishop: So would you say the most important thing for you this fight is to push your pace and not let him push the pace? From what you were saying there, that's a very big thing for you.
Johny Hendricks: Well, like I said, it's not secret what Fitch does. He likes to get in there and whenever he sets his tempo, it's very hard to break and what you have to do is raise your intensity above his and you have to push back. What's gonna happen is Jon Fitch is gonna push back and fight and what happens in most fights is whenever they raise theirs and all of a sudden Jon Fitch pushes back, they're like, "Oh, I can't keep this pace for three rounds," so the thing is, I've trained, I know my cardio and that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna push him and every time he tries to raise his level, that's what I'm gonna do and that's gonna be the determining factor of this fight. Who can actually keep their level at the highest and still be able to control everything in the third round?
Matt Bishop: So it's a big game of one-upsmanship?
Johny Hendricks: I don't think there's a thing that I can do, if we're shooting BB guns, it always becomes a competition for me. I can't even go swim without it being, "Let's do races, let's do this." I love competing and this right here is not so much of competing for a win but it's competing to be able to mentally and physically crush somebody. That's what I want and that's something that I've lost through not wrestling for the last four years and that's one thing that I went back and did. I used to watch my films and I just mentally and physically crushed people and that's what I want to do on Friday night is mentally and physically crush him.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): It seems like your technique in stand-up has been something that's taken over during that period that you were wrestling. Reading your UFC profile, it says your favorite technique is to, "Punch people in the face." Joe Rogan commented during your Mike Pierce fight that your technique in your stand-up has improved drastically. Can you talk a little bit about the evolution of your striking game and how you want to set things up against Fitch and not let him get inside and take you down or try to?
Johny Hendricks: Well, that's what I want. I want to play the close game. I want to stay right in front of his face because I know that's where he's the toughest. He's toughest whenever he stands in front of you and that's where I want to be. I want it to be where I'm right there, he's right there, I can see every movement and I can feel every movement. That's what I want him. If we have to play the outside game, that's fine with me too.
I've prepared pretty much everywhere and that's something that I really just can't wait for is to showcase my stand-up skills. He's a taller guy, he's lankier and it's easier to see the punches and harder for them to return it faster. I've watched a lot of Tyson, he's one of the greatest at that. He's not very tall but man, can he pack a punch! He's awesome at making people miss and landing one fatal blow and that's sort of what I want to do.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): You're using the Dolce Diet in the lead-up to this fight. Is that something you've been using or is this one of the first times using it?
Johny Hendricks: This is my first time using it. It's my first time ever using it. I know how to cut weight. I know everything but I think that's one of my chinks in my armor is my cutting weight technique. Eating bad, doing everything because Dolce was telling me that in his mind, I was only fighting at 80 percent because of the way I cut weight. My body couldn't recover the way I needed it to and here I am, two days out from weigh-ins and I feel like I did when I did it my way a month out. That's the difference. I'm pretty excited. Even if the last two days are pure hell, it's way better than doing it for a month.
Matt Bishop: Jon Fitch on Friday night. Are we going to see the best Johny Hendricks yet when you step into the Octagon?
Johny Hendricks: Oh yeah. You better believe it. I tell people this all the time. I didn't sacrifice my family time and my sweat and tears and my partner's time to not improve and me and my camp both feel like we have improved so much in the last three months that I can't wait to show the world what I've got. It's so excited for me because for one, I'm excited to fight somebody for once and two, to showcase what I can actually do. I think I'm at the tip of the iceberg. I haven't hit my true potential and that's what I'm excited for.
So what do you think, Maniacs?
Is an upset brewing in Las Vegas? Is this the perfect storm for Johny Hendricks to make the leap to the elite tier of UFC welterweights?
Sound off!

The worst nightmare for Democrats is that Barack Obama will run for re-election. If he's at the top of the ticket, Democrats will be drubbed worse than they were in 2010, indicated a survey Sept. 22 by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg.
The worst nightmare for Republicans is that he won't. Hillary Clinton is the most popular political figure in America, according to a Bloomberg poll Sept. 16.
Democrats could have more sleepless nights, Republicans fewer restless ones if Herman Cain wins the Republican nomination.
These are heady times for Mr. Cain, 65. Long mired in single digits, he's taken the lead in one national poll, is hot on the heels of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in another.
Mr. Cain has been thrust aloft by the air rushing out of the balloon of Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who in debates has been all hat and no cattle. After Mr. Cain's stunning victory in the Florida straw poll Sept. 24, Republicans are taking a second look.
Gov. Perry's swift rise and sudden fall illustrates the extraordinary volatility of the GOP race. Rep. Michele Bachmann soared like an eagle after a strong performance in a debate in June, then plummeted like a stone.
There is in this volatility a consistent theme: "Republican voters are searching for someone, anyone, other than Mitt Romney," said Robert Tracinski of RealClear Politics.
The race should narrow to a candidate favored by the GOP establishment, and a conservative "outsider," most analysts think. Mr. Romney has locked up the establishment slot. Ms. Bachmann and Mr. Perry auditioned for the role of "outsider," but have been found wanting. Now it's Herman Cain's turn.
Pundits who told us what a swell president Barack Obama would be dismiss Mr. Cain because he's never held public office. But no one serving in public office has had so varied or successful a career.
Born to working class parents in the segregated South, Mr. Cain earned a master's degree in computer science from Purdue while working full time designing fire control systems for the Navy.
Mr. Cain reached the top of the ladder in information systems when he came vice president of Corporate Data Systems for Pillsbury before age 35, then turned around two failing restaurant chains.
After resigning as CEO of Godfather's Pizza in 1996, Mr. Cain became president of the National Restaurant Association, and chairman of the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. In 2007, he became a talk show host on the largest talk radio station in the country. He's written five books — all without assistance from a former domestic terrorist. He's an associate pastor at a Baptist church in Atlanta.
Mr. Cain is a terrific speaker who's performed well in debates. Republicans who watched them think he's the most likable of the candidates. As a tea party favorite in a party where 58 percent of likely primary voters view the tea party favorably, his chances of winning the nomination should be pretty good.
But Mr. Romney has formidable advantages despite muted enthusiasm for him. "Amateurs talk about strategy; professionals talk about logistics," they say in the military. So too in politics. Mr. Romney has a big war chest, experienced advisers, strong organizations in the early primary states.
Florida's decision to move its primary to Jan. 31 enhances Mr. Romney's logistical advantages. Only 51 percent of Americans have heard of Herman Cain, according to a Gallup poll Sept. 27. He'll have little time to introduce himself to the rest before voting begins, and few resources with which to do it.
Republicans care more about removing Mr. Obama from office than which Republican does it. Since polls show him beating the president, this may be Mr. Romney's biggest advantage.
But Barack Obama may not be the Democratic candidate. According to "insider" gossip, the president likes the perks of his job, but not actually doing it. Now that the cheers have turned to jeers, he may decide not to run again.
Mr. Romney likely would lose to Hillary Clinton. But if blacks think white Democrats pushed Mr. Obama out, Mr. Cain could get a third or more of black votes. If just 15 percent of blacks vote Republican, Democrats are doomed in Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
There are other reasons for Republicans to nominate Herman Cain. But the best may be his ability to bring blacks back to the Party of Lincoln.
Jack Kelly writes this column for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

BarCamp Redefining J School- Oct 25th
[Guest Post by Portland Media Lab 'implementer' Daniel Bachhuber]
On Sunday, October 25th, the day after the SPJ Regional Conference, the University of Oregon is hosting the first ever BarCamp Redefining J School.
The idea is simple: to host a solid conversation about how J schools across the country can be catalysts for innovation, experimentation, and positive change in the news industry. Not that they haven't been in the past; rather, the conversation will be about how they can be at the forefront of the future of news. We'll cover the latest in digital tools, strategies for finding work, and ideas for how J schools can better prepare students to launch their own projects .
For those who have never attended a BarCamp, there is a method to the madness. A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. Another term for it is "unconference." With a traditional conference, the sessions are planned well in advance and panels selected by the conference organizer. BarCamps give the attendees a bit different of an experience. The sessions are brainstormed in advance, but the schedule isn't set until the morning of the event and is determined in "open-grid" fashion. If an attendee feels qualified to lead a given session, they'll write it on an index card and post those on the grid schedule.
A list of the sessions we've brainstormed thus far:
- What courses should you take to supplement your journalism education or career? What are good minors to a journalism degree?
- What do students want from professors? How can students take initiative and enhance classes?
- Crowdsourcing, and leveraging the knowledge of the community to put together a story
- Where's the link between PR and journalism?
- Digital basics (blogging, RSS, Twitter, Google Alerts, etc.) and how those tools can be used
- How to get paid internships (i.e. kickstarting your career while you're in school)
- Where's the line between work and life when building your brand online?
Join us. Brainstorm more sessions on the wiki, get involved with the planning process, or RSVP for free. We'll go from 12 pm to 4 pm on Sunday, October 25th and welcome all students, faculty, and professionals.

Fascinating effort Mr. Bachhuber.
Do you think our conference on November 21 to create a new non-profit community journalism enterprise will be of interest to your attendees? Go to wemakethemedia.org to see details of our conference. If you think its worthwhile, please help us spread the word. Thanks and Regards, Ron Buel
