Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) confirmed that there will be a $5 pay-per-view (PPV) price increase to watch UFC 168: "Weidman vs. Silva," which takes place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, later this month (Sat., Dec. 28, 2013).
And when asked at the UFC on FOX 9 post-fight media scrum that Dana White usually has with reporters, he offered quite the response when asked about the reason behind it.
And that word was abbreviated, as well.
The High Definition (HD) cost of ordering pay-per-view (PPV) events, are usually a standard $54.95; however, for UFC 168, which White stresses is a one-time only affair, the price will increase to $59.95.
"Just that fight ... we had some guys that got together in the office and decided to do that," White confirmed.
There is no doubt that fight fans will be upset with the decision since there is no concrete logic behind the hike. It is not that big of an increase, but many wonder why even jack up the price. It is the first time the company has ever increased the price for a particular PPV event.
Is UFC 168 in such higher standing than any other event in the past?
White finds a solution to the problem if some are disappointed, and it may lean toward sarcasm than actual reasoning.
"Five bucks -- have a couple of more friends, have them to come over."
White admitted that he did not make the decision and that it was a group who made the decision. He also said that Lorenzo Fertitta was the one who had the last word to set the price point in stone.
UFC 168 takes place at MGM Grand Garden Arena on Dec. 28, 2013, featuring the Middleweight championship rematch between Chris Weidman and Anderson Silva, as well the women's Bantamweight championship rematch between bitter arch rivals Miesha Tate, and division champion, Ronda Rousey. Also on the card is a highly anticipated Heavyweight clash between Josh Barnett and Travis Browne.

Philippa of Guelders (French: Philippe de Gueldres[1]) (9 November 1467 – 28 February 1547[2]), was the daughter of Adolf of Egmond and Catharine of Bourbon.[3]
Philippa was the twin sister of Charles, Duke of Guelders; they were born at Grave, Netherlands, and were their parents' only children. To strengthen the ties between the Kingdom of France and the Duchy of Lorraine, she was chosen as the bride of René II, Duke of Lorraine (1451–1508). The marriage took place in Orléans on 1 September 1485.
After the death of her husband Philippa tried to assume the regency of the duchy in the name of her son Anthony, who was only 9 years old, but it was decided that the child was old enough to reign alone.
On 13 June 1509 she redeemed the lordship of Mayenne from Margaret of Vaudémont, Duchess of Alençon. She retired to the convent Clarisse to Pont-à-Mousson on 15 December 1519 where she remained until her death.
While at the convent she commanded a magnificent altarpiece for the congregation, it remained there until his death. Her twin brother Charles, Duke of Gelderland, died on 30 June 1538, without legitimate offspring. Philippa claimed the duchies of Gelderland and Jülich but Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, seized the duchies. She ceded the claim to the two duchies to her son Anthony, who added it to his coat of arms.
Philippa died at the Convent of Poor Clares of Pont-à-Mousson on 28 February 1547, aged seventy nine. She outlived nine of her eleven children and was alive at the time of birth of some great-grandchildren, including Mary, Queen of Scots.
Philippa and René had the following children:
- Charles (b. 17 August 1486, Nancy), d. young
- Francis (5 July 1487, Pont-à-Mousson) (died shortly after birth)
- Antoine, Duke of Lorraine (1489–1544)
- Nicholas (9 April 1493, Nancy), d. young
- Claude, Duke of Guise (1496–1550), first Duke of Guise
- John, Cardinal of Lorraine and Bishop of Metz (1498–1550)
- Louis, Count of Vaudémont (1500–1528)

Albion have confirmed George Barker's move to Swindon Town.
The 22-year-old striker has joined the League One club on an 18-month contract for an undisclosed fee.
Barker will fill a void at the County Ground created by the return of Nicky Ajose to Peterborough and Nile Ranger's imminent departure.
He is expected to go straight into the squad for Saturday's home game against Peterborough.
Albion's head of football operations David Burke said: "George has worked hard and made good progress with the club but his opportunities here are limited, so this represents a chance for him to progress his career at a good club.
"On behalf of the Albion, I'd like to thank him for his time at the club and wish him well with Swindon and in his future career."

Surtees: Hamilton reaction to Rosberg was wrong
Formula 1 legend John Surtees feels disappointed in Lewis Hamilton following the Briton's far from gracious defeat at the Monaco Grand Prix last weekend. Hamilton was left fuming after a mistake by teammate Nico Rosberg during qualifying meant that the German driver had inadvertently given himself pole position. The yellow flags shown to denote his off at Mirabeau meant that the drivers behind Rosberg could not improve their lap times. Although the stewards deemed it to have been an innocent mistake, Hamilton was convinced that it was deliberate. For the rest of the weekend, relations in the Mercedes garage were cold, with the Briton not congratulating Rosberg on his second consecutive...

Brodus Clay
Real Name
George Murdoch
Date of Birth
February 21, 1980
Place of Birth
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 2014
Since Ross Von Erich and Marshall Von Erich are working a match at Slammiversary 2014, there have been a lot of rumors floating around that the sons of Kevin Von Erich are going to be signed to a contract with TNA. However, there are reports surfacing that the company is basically doing this as a one shot deal. TNA gains additional exposure since the Von Erich name is still beloved in Dallas, while the brothers are given a chance to be introduced to fans in the United States.
June 8, 2014
In a match designed by WWE to accelerate the split between the brothers, Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the second match of Payback 2014. Ryback picked up the pin fall victory for his team after delivering the Shell Shock to Rhodes. Afterwards, Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner for himself.
June 1, 2014
Another match being penciled in for Extreme Rules 2014 is Cody Rhodes vs Goldust. WWE has been planting the seeds of dissension between the real life brothers, and you can expect the story line to heat up over the next couple of weeks, leading to a pay per view match. Depending on how well the fans react to the feud, Goldust could be leaving WWE shortly afterwards.
May 11, 2014
Rumors have sparked about Cody Rhodes and Goldust doing a heel turn soon. However, that is just pure speculation at this point, as a lot of people are under the belief that WWE was testing things out at the live event in Saudi Arabia earlier this week. The brothers worked a match against Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, but it was simply a matter of filling out the card.
April 22, 2014
Even though the truth has been out there for several years now, a lot of wrestling fans are still under the belief that Ole Anderson and Arn Anderson are brothers in real life. They're not. The relationship was created for their on screen characters to help Arn connect with the audience quicker because Ole was already established in the territory.
April 4, 2014
After much speculations about their role at Wrestlemania 30, Cody Rhodes and Goldust have now been confirmed as participants for the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal. There were talks backstage in WWE of giving the brothers a higher profile match on the show, but management has been downplaying their importance over the last several weeks.
March 19, 2014
Even though the brothers have not been utilized on television as strongly as they were a couple of months ago, WWE is working on a DVD that will featured around Dusty Rhodes, Cody Rhodes and Goldust. The family should be receiving a push whenever the DVD is ready to be launched. There's a good chance now that Goldust will stick around a little bit longer.
March 14, 2014
For those that have been wondering, Kevin Von Erich, the surviving member of the world famous Von Erich brothers, is now living in Hawaii and simply enjoying his time. He has been exploring the island and has been routinely posting beautiful pictures of the state. Von Erich has absolutely no plans on returning to professional wrestling.
March 4, 2014
While many will remember her long and storied career in professional wrestling, Mae Young actually started out as an amateur wrestler. A bit of a tomboy growing up, the future WWE hall of fame inductee, was trained by her older brothers on how to wrestle. She became so good that she was allowed on the boys team in high school.
March 2, 2014
Last week, Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy teamed up for an independent wrestling show, and the place was packed to the brim. They are hoping to do so again in April when they do an OMEGA event in Cameron, North Carolina, their howetown. The event will benefit the high school that the brothers attended. Shane Helms and Shannon Moore are rumored to be appearing as well.
March 1, 2014
For quite some time, there were plans penciled in for Wrestlemania 30 for a big match between Cody Rhodes and Goldust. Management is not nearly as high on the two of them nowadays, as the match is now off the table. There is still a chance, though, that the brothers will work the pay per view as a tag team, especially if they go with a multiple team match for the WWE tag titles.
February 27, 2014
Originally, Cody Rhodes and Goldust were both scheduled to work live events over the weekend in Las Vegas and Phoenix. However, it appears that management has pulled them because they wanted to give Cody some time to heal up from his knee injury. The brothers might still make an appearance on Monday Night Raw, though.
February 17, 2014
The belief backstage right now is that Cody Rhodes and Goldust will be splitting up at Elimination Chamber 2014, where the brothers are expected to be involved in a match for the WWE tag titles. A match between the two is still penciled in for Wrestlemania 30.
February 1, 2014
While many fans know that Cody Rhodes and Goldust are brothes, some do not know that they are actually half brothers. Their father is WWE legend Dusty Rhodes, but they each have different mothers. The wrestling siblings are approximately sixteen years apart in age.
January 1, 2014
WWE superstar John Cena told the Huffington Post that his youngest brother has an inoperable brain tumor.
October 29, 2013
"He is a pro. He comes to work everyday. He is straight forward and tells you exactly what it is. One of my things was I didn't get to work a match with him. I would have dropped the weight I did and keep the muscle I have. He is a great leader in terms of he talks it; he walks it. He is the face of the WWE and likely so. John Cena gave us all an opportunity to train and have the same training regiment. The training of the NBA and NFL with Olympic lifts for maintenance, for power, better cardiovascular. He was on the forefront. He gave guys an opportunity." - Brodus Clay defending John Cena
June 19, 2014
Now that he has received his release from WWE, Brodus Clay has already planned out the next phase of his life. Rather than jumping back into the wrestling ring immediately, the former bodyguard has opted to book himself on a trip to Japan, so that he can help protest against those that are hunting dolphins. Clay left open the possibility of working some matches in Japan if that option were to become available to him.
June 13, 2014
"I hired Brodus Clay into the WWE, he is phenomenal. I remember I met him at a bar where he was a bouncer. There was a fight and I helped him out in the fight. That's how we met. He wanted to be a wrestler I told him to go to wrestling school. There's life after WWE... you're not going to have a job forever. It's the nature of the beast. Some guys have a long run, and yes they could have gotten a lot more out of them, but it's based on someone else's opinion." - Tommy Dreamer explaining how he met Brodus Clay
June 13, 2014
After being robbed of an opportunity work a match at Wrestlemania 29, Brodus Clay focused his energy on trying to ensure that he was not going to miss Wrestlemania 30. WWE was not pleased with him telling the fans about his angst about being removed from the card at the last minute, so he was demoted to the developmental program. Today, Clay received his release from the company.
June 12, 2014
During the latest WWE NXT show, an interesting injury was revealed. Adrian Neville had four teeth knocked out of his mouth during a backstage segment with Brodus Clay, who has been down in developmental for several months now. Neville had dental surgery to repair the teeth and now wears a mouth guard during matches to prevent further damage.
May 31, 2014
After weeks of being relegated to the developmental program, it appears that Brodus Clay is on the verge of making his return to WWE. The big man worked a live event in Kentucky for the company over the weekend, where he teamed with Damien Sandow to face Big E Langston and Mark Henry. Clay could be brought back to Monday Night Raw soon.
April 28, 2014
A video of Brodus Clay challenging WWE NXT champion Adrian Neville in the main event.
April 19, 2014
While he has been training especially hard over the last couple of months to make it happen, it is being said that the biggest reason why Brodus Clay is being given a match at Wrestlemania 30, where he will be a participant in the Andre the Giant battle royal, is because of his involvement in the new Scooby Doo movie that WWE is promoting.
March 26, 2014
WWE has announced that the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal will consists of Alberto Del Rio, Big E Langston, Big Show, Brodus Clay, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Darren Young, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Justin Gabriel, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Miz, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Santino Marella, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Titus ONeil and Zack Ryder. There are also four spots available for last minute entrants.
March 25, 2014
After spending some time down at the WWE Performance Center, Brodus Clay is now back on the road. He worked a live event over the weekend in Atlantic City, where he did a quick dance off segment with the Great Khali, another performer who has been off the road for a couple of weeks. No word on a television return for Clay yet.
March 24, 2014
Thanks to being a part of a popular act for a while there, Brodus Clay maintains a pretty good salary from his bosses in WWE. The former bodyguard for Snoop Dogg is now being paid $170,000 a year as a professional wrestler. Being paid more than six figures is considered quite a feat for someone that does not receive consistent time on television.
March 19, 2014
After being absent for quite a few weeks, the Great Khali has made his return to WWE, joining the live events tour this weekend. He was paired up with Brodus Clay, who has been spending time in developmental. Khali was given the victory. The former world heavyweight champion has not worked a televised match since the first Monday Night Raw of the year.
March 17, 2014
While things were looking bleak for a moment there, it looks like Brodus Clay now has a chance again at achieving his goal of working Wrestlemania 30. He vowed not to miss the event again after being pulled last year at the last minute, but ended up in the dog house with management. He has a chance at the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal now.
March 12, 2014
Despite having very little chance of making it on to the Wrestlemania 30 card like he had hoped, Brodus Clay is still doing his countdown towards that day. After being removed at the last minute last year, Clay had vowed to work hard to ensure that the same thing would not happen this year. WWE has demoted him quite a bit over the last few months, unfortunately.
March 6, 2014
The demotion of Brodus Clay seems to be getting worse and worse. Aside from being pulled from Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, he has been working in the developmental program as of late, training with Bill DeMott. Clay worked a match for WWE NXT and actually put over Angelo Dawkins. Generally, main roster guys are the ones getting the victories.
February 24, 2014
While his dreams of working at Wrestlemania 30 might be in jeopardy, that has not stopped Brodus Clay from trying. He has been training with Bill DeMott, the head trainer for WWE, down in developmental as of late. No word yet on when he will return to Monday Night Raw or Smackdown.
February 21, 2014
While Brodus Clay has been noticeably absent from Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, it has now been revealed that he is not even on the road for television taping. This past weekend, he was down in Florida doing developmental work. No word yet on when WWE will be bringing him back with the rest of the main roster.
February 20, 2014
WWE is really hoping that Sasha Banks does well in developmental, as the company would love to bring her up to the main roster soon. Management wants to tout that she is the first cousin of world famous rapper Snoop Dogg. The company has already acknowledged on multiple times that Brodus Clay was a former bodyguard for the rapper.
February 17, 2014
There are those backstage in WWE that are wondering why the feud between Brodus Clay and Tensai never surfaced. Obviously, management wanted it to happen at one point, as they gave the split some television time. The feeling is that there is backstage heat on Clay, as he has not been utilized on television in three weeks now.
February 16, 2014
There is some confusion backstage in WWE over what the company is doing with Brodus Clay. While they made the effort to turn him heel, give him a new look and split him apart from Tensai, Naomi Knight and Cameron, management hasn't exactly been behind his push. He has lost his last seven televised matches and has only been used on Smackdown once this year.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Phoebe Chief Joel Wernick told the city commission this morning that the hospital may soon move forward with a plan to start an acute care center. A Certificate of Need application would have to be placed.
The free-standing facility would take about 18 months to complete. It would serve people on ventilators and the like, who might take up beds in an ICU, who need round the clock care outside the ICU.
The new facility could create up to 250 jobs in Albany.
Wernick also said that PPMH plans to look at making Palmyra a women's and childrens' hospital.

Paul S. passed a background check on 7/16/14. The check was ordered by another user through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Paul, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
Note: Please read the tutor policies listed below to help the decision-making and planning processes. As a Ph.D. candidate, my time during the academic semester is precious, but as an aspiring educator, I am very willing to work with students who need a helping hand.
Academic Brief: In 2007, I graduated from SUNY Albany with a B.Sc. in Forensic Chemistry (3.910 GPA) and a minor in Mathematics and Statistics (4.000 GPA). Currently, I am a Ph.D. candidate at the same university, studying Organic Synthesis. Prior to becoming a research assistant, I worked for three years as a teaching assistant, supervising and instructing various laboratory classes. I've taught class sizes ranging from 4 to 24 students, and I have taught courses in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Forensic Chemistry, Quantitative Analysis, and Instrumental Analysis. Although I taught college-level courses, I take a step-by-step approach that can easily be applied to learning at any level, and am more than willing to work with any age group. Tutoring/teaching is an active-learning process, so there is always something new to learn for students and teachers/tutors alike.
My efforts and work ethic earned me a nomination for the departmental teaching award (Chemistry at SUNY Albany) in the 2009-2010 academic year. I am a capable, motivated person who is willing to work closely with students to make sure they have a good understanding of the concepts and skills that they seek help with. I am also an active member of the American Chemical Society (since 2007), the Phi Beta Kappa Society (since 2007), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (since 2014).
Outside of academics, and depending on the time of year, I enjoy bowling at a semi-competitive level (carry a 200+ average) just about year-round as well as coaching within the sport, and enjoy billiards, golf, and tennis at the recreational level. Additionally, I am an avid gardener (primarily vegetables) and manage my own small non-profit garden share program, which produces approximately 700+ pounds of vegetables every season.
1. Students are advised to schedule a session at least 24 hours in advance.
2. Research times are usually 8 AM to 8 PM Monday to Thursday, and 8 AM to 5 PM Friday, so the tutor will usually be unavailable during those times. However, students are welcomed to ask about the "tail end hours" of 6 PM to 8 PM Monday to Thursday for scheduling reasons, as there may be availability then.
3. Therefore, the best times to schedule sessions are evenings during the week, and on the weekends.
4. Scheduling will be done in blocks. That is, the student and tutor will work out the desired start time, and the estimated finish time. For planning concerns, the estimated finish time should be a little later than anticipated, in case extra time is needed.
1. If a student is late, the session will begin from the agreed upon start time, not from the time the student arrives. The student can then proceed with the session until the agreed upon finish time. If there are no other appointments scheduled, the student may request additional time with the tutor until all topics have been covered.
2. If the tutor is late, the session will begin from the time the student and tutor are able to start. A discount equal to the time the tutor was late will be given to the student. The student can then proceed with the session until the agreed upon finish time. If there are no other appointments scheduled, the student may request additional time with the tutor until all topics have been covered.
1. Students are encouraged to cancel appointments with the tutor as soon as they find out of their inability to attend the scheduled appointment. Fees for cancelled sessions are (15-minute minimum in each case):
a. 0 percent of the total scheduled time for appointments cancelled the day before the appointment, or earlier;
b. 10 percent of the total scheduled time for appointments cancelled the day of the appointment, but more than 3 hours in advance, and;
c. 25 percent of the total scheduled time for appointments cancelled less than 3 hours in advance.
2. A missed session is one where the tutor arrives at the designated meeting place at the scheduled time, and the student does not attend the session without previously canceling the appointment.
a. The tutor will wait for the student up to 30 minutes; after this time, the session is considered missed if the student does not attend or contact the tutor.
b. Students who contact the tutor within the first 30 minutes of waiting to notify the tutor of lateness may still proceed with the session if desired. The student will be charged twice the above-mentioned rules for lateness. See section III.1.
c. Students who contact the tutor within the first 30 minutes of waiting to cancel the appointment will be charged 50 percent of the total scheduled time.
d. Students who miss appointments will be charged for 75 percent of the total scheduled time.
3. Students who have built an honest and positive rapport with the tutor will experience a decrease in or waiver of late or missed session fees at the discretion of the tutor.
Discrete mathematics is an interesting, useful, and unique area of mathematics. Topics discussed in discrete math cover probability, set theory, logic, graph theory, combinatorics, and more. Applications of discrete math are numerous: for example, graph theory can be used to arrive at possible DNA sequences based on the fragments obtained; combinatorics can be used to find the number of isomers of organic compounds. Further examples undoubtedly exist--those that I have mentioned are from my own experience.
Equally important, however, is the analytical thinking that this area offers. While most may be quick to say that discrete math may appear simple, with a little practice and an open mind, it can introduce a different way of looking at problems. In the grand scheme of analytical thinking, this fact alone makes it an important asset for any analytical discipline.
Linear algebra is a very interesting discipline in mathematics. It's not uncommon to use matrices to find quick solutions to large systems of equations. In fact, matrices can be very helpful in various modeling problems, such as the amount of deflection experienced by a board of wood. Linear algebra is essentially the algebra of matrices and systems of equations, and with it comes a unique set of mathematics. For large systems of equations, or systems with quite a few variables, linear algebra is a very powerful tool for finding the needed solutions quickly, without having to necessarily isolate each variable individually, and resubstituting into other equations until each variable is solved for.
I have been using Macintosh computers for about 4 years now. While my knowledge of them is not the "be-all, end-all" of Macintosh computing, they are fairly easy to become acclimated to. In fact, many operations that people are used to using in Windows can be done in Macintosh as well--the only difference is that some keys are named differently. Macintosh also does support Windows in various ways: Microsoft Office programs are commonly tweaked to run nicely on a Macintosh, and for Windows-only programs that have no Macintosh equivalent, there's Boot Camp for running Windows. In this day and age, Macintosh computers are becoming so flexible and versatile that in terms of function, the gap between Windows and Macintosh is narrowing quickly. If anything, the only gap that might remain is the fact that Windows has a program for almost every idea under the sun, while Macintosh is still walking the path to get there.
Organic chemistry is commonly summed up as the chemistry of compounds containing carbon and hydrogen. While it can be true, it's quite an oversimplification. Organic chemistry, in a roundabout way, is what keeps us alive as living beings, gives us some of the most commonly-used materials, and increasingly important in this age, provides new ideas for technology and energy. From pharmaceuticals to materials, organic chemistry is one of the central disciplines in the general field of chemistry; this much I know from my own experiences as a synthetic chemist. From carbon and hydrogen to nitrogen and oxygen; amines and alcohols to ketones and aldehydes, organic chemistry is a detailed discipline in three dimensions. For most, practice makes perfect for this type of class, whether it's about learning concepts or memorizing reactions.
As an apprentice educator and scientist, public speaking is one thing I'm accustomed to from years of weekly presentations and seminars (and I'm an otherwise fairly quiet person myself). Whether shy, nervous, or lacking confidence, public speaking is an important aspect to master in today's world, and should not be left unattended. If I can get used to it, so can you; the key is mostly practice, with a watchful eye or two on the lookout for your best interest.
As a New York State high school student, I have taken and excelled in various Regents exams while simultaneously involved in an Advanced Placement program. While the structure of courses and exams have changed over the years, the material covered remains the same. Exams that I have taken within my listed specialties include: Math I (now Integrated Algebra I), Math II (now Geometry), Math III (now Algebra II and Trigonometry), Chemistry, Physics (2002, the year I took it, was the year of the Physics Exam Controversy, in which grades were curved because of suspected faulty question writing. I received a 91 before the curve.), French and Comprehensive English.
In the realm of teaching and tutoring, assisting students with study skills is more of a diagnostic process. In order to make improvements, students have to describe how they prepare for exams, take notes, attempt solving problems, et cetera. The teacher or tutor, however, has to be able to figure out changes based on the student's approach to academics--there's usually more than one right way to study any given subject. Although it may be more trial-and-error than a straightforward "here's what to do for this problem", this approach can expose students to varying views on studying. These varying perspectives can provide a main plan and even a backup plan for students to follow, which can be very helpful in the long run. In that respect, utile study skills are more like a railway system--a student may have one train of thought, but at a junction, other routes may be equally helpful; it's always good to have options.

Borges: Tom Brady's bellows part of the game - 0 Comments
FOXBORO — We live in interesting times made more so by the rise of social media. Unfortunately, we also live in absurd times as antisocial media, the nut wing branch of the Internet, proves about 1,000 times a day.
It took only five entries on Google this past week to come upon the following absurd headline: "Tom Brady Throws Tantrum, Yells As Patriots' Wide Receivers Struggle."
First off, Tom Brady did not throw a tantrum, he threw a football. Thirty-nine times in the game in question.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Gatsas upset over a debate invitation that wasn't
"I was never asked. None was ever scheduled, and I would never participate in a debate on September 11th," Gatsas told me. "I wouldn't only not debate on September 11th, I wouldn't do anything political."
So, was Arnold engaging in dirty tricks or, at the very least, baiting the mayor?
"It was my understanding that all the candidates were aware of the debate and all the candidates agreed to participate," he said.
Gatsas said the only debate he was committed to at this point was the one in October that would be sponsored by the chamber of commerce - "if I'm fortunate enough to make it past the primary."
Of course, Greazzo has a different take on the grievances expressed by the association
"Their thing was that the commission was not legitimate, and it's giving us orders," he said.
"It doesn't matter whether I'm on the Conservation Commission or not," she said. "It's still something I can pursue."

"Green" Purchasing and Waste Reduction
Besides having an active recycling program, the park uses products with recycled materials whenever practical for office, landscaping, and construction needs. Conventional adhesives, cleaners, paints, and solvents are manufactured using chemicals that emit harmful vapors which degrade the indoor air quality of our buildings. Whenever possible, the park uses items that do not give off these vapors, including office fixtures and carpeting. Lubricants and cleaners are used that have plant-based materials and / or ingredients that are less harmful to the environment and human health than conventional products. Yearly chemical inventories provide a means to remove unwanted and unused chemicals from supply stock.
By weight, the park regularly recycles or composts more waste than is sent to the local landfill. Construction, demolition, and office wastes are sorted and recycled where possible, and many times are even reused within the park. Grass clippings, limbs, and trees that have come down due to weather or for safety reasons are composted within the park or are left to decompose naturally and provide habitat for a variety of smaller wildlife. Outdated but reusable electronic waste is recycled while unusable electronic devices, along with hazardous wastes, are sent to appropriate processing facilities to keep dangerous materials out of the environment. Recycling bins are located throughout Park facilities, including at on-site employee housing.

Thousands of Confederate soldiers who died in Richmond's hospitals or in the battles around the city are buried at either Hollywood or Oakwood cemeteries. Most of the Union dead are buried in one of five National Cemeteries: Richmond, Cold Harbor, Seven Pines, Glendale or Fort Harrison.

Letters to Montgomery Cliftby Noel Alumit
Synopses & Reviews
Praying is not enoughbetter to put it in writing! Bong Bong Luwad is living with his Auntie Yuna in LA, far from his Philippine village, the Marcos regime, and his mother who helped him escape. Bong Bong and Auntie Yuna spend their days watching old movies on TV and writing pleading letters to the saints and to dead relatives. One night on the latelate movie, Bong Bong finds a new saint: Montgomery Clift, playing a soldier who helps a lost boy find his mother. Can Monty do the same for him? He gets out a pencil and paper and thus begins a series of extraordinary events that carry him from boyhood, to adolescence, through sexual awakening, madness, and finally back to the place where he can begin his life again. Letters to Montgomery Clift is a novel of endurance and hope. It is a tale of growing up, coming out, and going home.

Hell in the Pacific: The Battle for Iwo Jima (General Military)by Gordon L. Rottman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The battle of Iwo Jima was extraordinary for its ferocity. US Marine Corps casualties exceeded by thousands the number of Japanese defenders, who fought almost to the last man over those five desperate weeks. The strategic justification for the mission has been challenged and the iconic photograph of the flag-raising was staged, but there is no questioning the courage displayed (winning the USMC 24 Medals of Honor) and the horrors endured by both sides. The Japanese were dug into a vast and complex defensive network of trenches, bunkers, caves and tunnels commanding every square foot of the island's volcanic rock and black sand. The Marines' task was to fight almost every step of the way from their landing beaches to the northern tip where victory was finally secured, developing new tactics to deal with this well-entrenched, determined and heavily-armed resistance as they progressed from objective to objective.
This book details the composition, weaponry and leadership of the opposing forces and reviews their plans. It also closely examines the individual fighting men on each side, the USMC infantryman and the Imperial Japanese soldier, contrasting their training, equipment, culture and battlefield experiences. Having laid out the background, the authors then follow the battle through its several phases from the landings to General Kuribayashi's last banzai. Their clear narrative, supported by numerous maps, tactical diagrams and photographs, answers in detail the question which other accounts of this great battle only address at a more general level: how did the Marines do it?

I kind of like the idea.
Now if only buying a beer was a tax deduction they'd be famous. I guess it is for the "level 1 founder" and level 2.
However, I'd be curious if they are exempt from the taxation on their beer production. That could be a game changer.
