HDIL (Rs 82): The outlook remains neutral for Housing Development and Infrastructure Ltd despite a strong recovery from its life-time low. The stock had touched an all-time low of Rs 52 in early this year. HDIL is expected to move in a narrow range between Rs 110 and Rs 60 in the medium-term. However, in the short-term, it is expected to move in Rs 95-70 range.
F&O pointers: The HDIL futures are trading without any premium. In fact, the farther month futures — September and October — are trailing current month contract even at the start of new series.
The HDIL August futures witnessed of marginal accumulation of open position on the short side. Option trading indicates Rs 85 would act as a strong resistance.
Strategy: Traders can consider short strangle on HDIL using 75 put and 90 call. They closed at a premium of Rs 1.50 each on Friday.
Short-strangle is best when one expects the underlying stock to move in a narrow range.
Maximum profit is the premium collected, which works out to nearly Rs 12,000 in this strategy as the market lot is 4,000 units per contract.
On the other hand, the loss could be unlimited if HDIL moves out of the aforesaid range. Loss will start to mount if HDIL closes above Rs 92 or below Rs 73.
Reliance Capital (Rs 335): Outlook for Reliance Capital also remains neutral. While in the medium-term it is expected to move in Rs 390-290 range, in the short-term, Reliance Capital is likely to move in the Rs 360-320 range.
F&O pointers: The Reliance Capital futures added fresh short positions on Friday. The August futures closed on par with the spot price.
This indicates that traders are not willing to bet on the counter. Options are not that active.
Cues from option trading indicate a neutral range for the stock.
Strategy: Consider short-strangle using 360 call and 320 put on Reliance Capital. They closed at Rs 8 and Rs 5 respectively. This will entail a net flow of Rs 26,000, which could be the maximum profit one can earn.
The market lot is 500 units/contract. Loss would be unlimited in this strategy.
Traders will face the pressure if Reliance Capital moves above Rs 373 or below Rs 307.
Note: Both these counters are high beta, which means they will swing wildly in correlation to Nifty movements. So the strategies are strictly for traders who can bear high risk.
Follow-up: Last week we advised a short-strangle on Maruti Suzuki using 1,050 put and 1,200 call.
The position still remains positive. Traders can continue to hold to gain the maximum.
(Note: Feedback or queries (on positions) may be sent to email@example.com by Sunday noon. Replies will be published on Monday.)

The Truth About Dan and the QueenRadcliffe
June 12, 2006, 09:49 AM
This time we mean it: Though there have been various reports about Dan Radcliffe attending the Queen's birthday party on June 25, he will not be in attendance. The news yesterday of Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Matt Lewis taking part in a play at the event is true - this will be a pre-recorded segment that will be shown there. Some of the other cast may attend, but Dan still cannot go, owing to his schedule, a representative told TLC this morning. Dan will be abroad on "a well-earned post-exam holiday!"
Jo Rowling will be reading at this event, and Julie Walters's name has also been mentioned as an attendee and player in the filmed sketch. As always, more as we get it!

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011
As the weather warms up it is important to remember not to leave your dog in the car where they may get too hot. Leaving the windows partly open is not enough to prevent the temperature soaring, which can be very dangerous for your pet. Dogs need to regulate their temperature by panting as they cannot sweat due to their furry coat. Panting becomes less effective in a humid environment such as a car, which can lead to heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
This is always an emergency, and prompt action is needed to bring the dog's body temperature back to normal. If you think your dog has heatstroke you should contact us immediately. If possible, move the dog to a cool, shaded area and apply towels soaked in cool water. Cold water hosing is an effective alternative, or if your dog is small enough, move him/her to a tub of cool water.
Heatstroke can be avoided by ensuring you do not let your pet become confined in a sunny spot, and also take care not to over-exercise them in hot weather. Keeping weight down and keeping long-haired breeds trimmed will also be helpful. If in doubt, get the cold water out!

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
A disagreement over a sold vehicle led to shots being fired Friday at the duck pond in Levi Jackson State Park and ended with the arrest of a Laurel County man and woman on multiple charges, including attempted murder.
The arrests occurred on Friday afternoon at approximately 2:17 p.m. following a complaint that an altercation was actively taking place at the duck pond in Levi Jackson State Park, off Levi Jackson Mill Road, just south of London.
During the altercation, one of the two parties attempted to leave the scene in his pickup; at that time, shots were fired into the truck. Deputies found marks on the truck that appeared to be from gunshots. A .22 caliber revolver was recovered at the scene.
Michael Sellers, 20, of Barbourville Road in London was charged with attempted murder and also an outstanding Whitley County bench warrant for failure to appear in court.
A woman who accompanied Sellers to the scene, Autumn Martin, 18, of Barbourville Road in London, was also arrested and charged with complicity to commit murder and fourth-degree assault, as she assaulted the male victim as deputies arrived on the scene.
Laurel County Sheriff's Office Public Affairs Officer and Deputy Gilbert Acciardo said that shots being fired anywhere in Laurel County is pretty unheard of, but law enforcement agencies take these incidents very seriously.
"The duck pond is a family area and, because of that, we will definitely be increasing our patrols in the area," Acciardo said. "You occasionally hear about someone pulling a knife on someone, but for people to actually pull out a gun and start firing in a public area is pretty unheard of around here. This was definitely an isolated incident, but we want places like the duck pond to continue to be safe places for families to enjoy."
Sellers and Martin were lodged in the Laurel County Detention Center. Deputy Kevin Berry and Bailiff Andrew Lawson assisted at the scene. Detective Josh Scott continues the investigation.

Republicans want a health care reform plan that would replace Obamacare, while increasing access, lowering costs and improving the quality of care. In short, they want a market-driven system. The principles of such plans have been around for years, and a number of Republicans have included them in their proposals. But here is a brief summary of the key components.

Welcome to the ice cold brutality of the AFC North T.O., yes u played in the uncomfortable cold of Buffalo for a year and yes you played for a year n the unforgiving cold of Philadelphia but you're now back in the Mideast where the Hits and Frozen Tundra is Best! Not to mention the pressure to win immediately will be the icing on the 'tiger cake' for a team that now has Palmer, Chad, Benson a pretty good defense and of course U
The AFC North might not be rated as the best division from a talent point of view but it rivals any division when it comes to a physical/beat down play-style and as far as I'm concerned the AFC Norris division is the real Black/Blue division (yes I include the Browns as well when I talk about hard-intensity, there record has been porous this decade but for the most part when u play the Brownies you're in for a tough game even in a blowout win)
T.Owens u might be built like a Gold's Gym but your track record clearly shows that you're allergic to playing a true physical style of football (i.e. the hesitancy to run pass patterns across the middle, at this pt in your career, is one big indicator)
Good to No luck Terrell O ...I'm of the opinion you will be irrelevant and a non-factor (much like last season with the Bills) once the calendar flips to November 1, where you'll then be required to deal with Old-Man Winter while concentrating on the football field...that's just not you Terrell, prove me wrong (play like u did when u were a Eagle) and I'll come back and write a new blog talking about how great of a season you had BUT first thing first...my money Bet (the very little I still got in this recession) is going towards you coming up dry and stale on all that Popcorn You and 'Overrated-Cinco' ordered last night while watching re-runs of your reality shows. See u during Week 9 and 14, that's if you and Och don't implode and sabotage the whole Cincinnati Bengal season before the bye week!
(p.s.) I know Bengals coach Marvin Lewis was saying all the right things during his NFL Network interview but his facial expression and body language gave me the impression he did not want T.O. any where near his team but when his owner, Mike Brown, is gloating over Terrell like a new born baby, I guess Lewis had no choice. This isn't the first time Marvin has been over-rode with player personnel choices (i.e. Chris Henry being brought back to the team for the 3rd time last offseason) and I'm sure it won't be the last!

Lira's Been 'Captured'!
Afro-soul sensation Lira has been 'captured' on a live DVD!
Thembinkosi Dwayisa/Gallo Images
Nine-time SAMA winner and BET International nominated Afro-soul sensation Lira has created a ground-breaking DVD via her newly established production company, ARIL Films. The 163-minute, full-length feature will be marketed by her own label, Otarel Music, and distributed in Africa by Sony Music Africa. The release of this much-anticipated DVD is a watershed moment for Lira, as she takes greater control of her career - embodying the message of empowerment so powerfully communicated through her music and becoming the first female musician of her generation in South Africa to take her career to this level.
The release of LIRA: The Captured Tour - Concert Film on July 23 2012 will be supported by screenings of an edited version on M-Net and other affiliate channels throughout Africa. This exclusive preview, which is a 44-minute broadcast cut down, will premiere on July 31 2012. This relationship also marks a first for a music special of such a nature on the Multichoice platform.
The DVD is shot over a period of three months, culminating with the finale show at the end of her Captured tour in November 2011 at the Sun City Superbowl. Lira has raised the bar by creating Africa's first Concert Film: more than just a live performance DVD, the film shows the magic of Lira at her finest on stage across numerous South African arenas, as well as her personal journey through her touring, including unique backstage access, trials and tribulations during the tour, and four dedicated superfan sections, which is also a global first.
With incredible HD picture and sound quality, viewers will be immersed in the total experience of this production. From Lira's amazing vocal prowess and her proudly South African stylish wardrobe to her stage work, dancing, and choreography - this is visual and sonic entertainment at a world class level. Sharing the stage with her is her all-star Love Band, and the DVD also includes special moments like two South African artist features, supported by beautiful stage and lighting design.
The Captured Tour features all of Lira's older and latest hits with many new songs and a few stellar covers paying homage to those that have influenced her. The full length product features a whopping 38 songs in total.
The Captured Tour broke new ground in terms of technical excellence. Produced By Robin Kohl of Jazzworx and directed by Warrick Allen of Mushroom Media, the film was shot with a total of 21 cameras, including the state-of-the-art Red MX and Red Epic cameras, making it the first Concert Film to be shot with such high quality digital standards - globally. The filming took place over a total of three months.
With this Concert Film, the world can now fully experience one of Africa's brightest stars. The Captured Tour Concert Film shows Lira's evolution and prowess as an icon in the making.
The DVD will be available in all good music stores soon.

There has been a lot of interesting ideas floating around about the future of the Vikings franchise. One I thought was interesting is the idea that GM Rick Spielman is trying to prep fans for in case they decide to not go the QB route this draft or at least prepping fans for if they don't go QB in the first couple of rounds. Yeah, I know not exactly shocking news, we've all decided and explored those possible outcomes but I found interesting the idea that they are prepping us for that kind of outcome. Spielman has been weirdly more upfront and giving lengthier replies to direct questions about what the Vikings will do, he keeps bringing up how difficult it is to find a star QB, and how Christian Ponder had a lot of ability but hasn't been able to get it together. And to top it off, the Vikings website posted a poll question-that was totally biased. I found that very odd, posting on their official website a question that went something along the lines of "What would you rather the Vikings do with the #8 pick? Reach for a QB. Draft a defensive player."
Then if that were actually all true (of course this is all complete speculation and just honestly drifting thoughts), they intended to wait what QB would they really be waiting for? Winston isn't coming out next year. Hundley showed a lot of promise but certainly not enough to warrant skipping certain options this year. Bridgewater, Bortles and Manziel all showed more ability in my opinion. Petty is very good but it's hard to imagine he made Spielman get all googly eyed and decide he'd wait for him. That leaves Mariota, a guy who GM's and scouts alike were supposedly drooling over. While there is no promise he'd come out next year (not out of the closet but out of the college ranks) there is a lot to back up the theory he'd be the #1 pick next year if he plays at least as well as he did this season. It's very possible after the draft most teams will have their QB positions "solved" and with soooo many young QB's in the league there would be less teams looking to draft new QB's thus making avoiding a big bidding war on trading up to #1. So if Spielman did in fact fall in love with Mariota, and Turner gave him the nudge and thumbs up it could be they view him as a prospect worth trading for and the QB's in this draft "unworthy".
So then what would happen this draft? Well, like Turner discussed putting a QB in a situation to succeed they could sign Cassel and prop him up. Honestly, except for when he was with the Patriots he never has been in that great of a situation. Even last year, his starts were separated and filled with backup snaps in practices. Patterson was struggling to even learn how to run a route half the season. Peterson was getting little run block support half the season. Simpson was inconsistent. Rudolph was injured a good amount of the year. The games that he struggled in were against top 5 defenses.
So imagine a draft where they get him a #1 WR to replace Simpson. A top guard whether through the draft or FA. A real coordinator. And a type of offensive scheme that will get defenses off of being a 100% focused on Peterson (A West Coast offense is actually meant to bring safeties in closer to the line of scrimmage). It's possible he could do better than just play average, we could see another side to Cassel.
And since no one wants to have read all that rambling without any reward, heres a mock just for the heck of it. A totally QB-less mock:

By Adam Hetrick
"Les Misérables: From Stage to Screen," a new book by Benedict Nightingale and Martyn Palmer documenting the journey of the international hit musical from concept to film, will be published in early 2013 by Applause Theatre & Cinema Books.

According to the authors, "The reader can find out how the musical came to life, the trials and tribulations of turning it from the initial concept into a thrilling musical extravaganza and how the new film version starring Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe, and directed by the Oscar-winning Tom Hooper, has emerged from the show that has been seen by over 55 million people worldwide."
The film stars Jackman as Valjean; Crowe as Javert; Anne Hathaway as Fantine; Aaron Tveit as Enjolras; Helena Bonham Carter as Madame Thenardier; Amanda Seyfried as Cosette; Eddie Redmayne as Marius; Samantha Barks as Eponine; George Blagden as student Grantaire; Sacha Baron Cohen as Thenardier; and Daniel Huttlestone as child-hero Gavroche.

Trailcampro Analysis
Browning has been introducing itself to the rest of the trail camera world with a bang so far in 2013. The new Browning trail cameras have far exceeded our expectations. Fast, reliable, easy to use and capable of taking beautiful pictures on nearly any trail camera setup.
The Recon Force is Browning's mid-level, red glow infrared trail camera. It is very similar to the lower priced
Browning Range Ops
, with just a few differences. In case you are comparing the two cameras, here are the main points of interest that vary between the two models:
Browning Recon Force
Browning Range Ops
8 Mpxl (Interpolated)
1/20th of a second shutter speed at night
Camo Finish
6 Rapidfire shots in 2 seconds
60-70 ft. Flash Range
6 Mpxl (Interpolated)
1/6th of a second shutter speed at night
Brown finish
4 Rapidfire shots in 2 seconds
50 ft. Flash Range
Outside of what is listed above, the two cameras are nearly identical (which isn't a bad thing).
Detection Circuit
4.3 Stars
All three Browning models have identical detection circuits. The Recon Force is equipped with a 0.69 second trigger (it takes about 0.4 seconds to blink an eye) and recovers in 2.3 seconds. These rank among the very best times that we have tested in those two categories.
The detection zone nearly mimics the field of view of the camera (42°) and reaches out to around 50 feet of detection range. You can count on one hand the manufacturers that are capable of manufacturing PIR sensors that do this.
Picture Quality
4.4 Stars
As you can see from the sample photos on the right, the daytime pictures are bright, clear and colorful. If you want to get nit-picky, the clarity may be off, but just by a hair.
Look at the picture to the left and notice how clear the deer is even though it is in the middle of a brisk trot.
Many cameras would have blurred the legs (at a minimum). We were very impressed by this.
Nighttime picture quality leaves little to be desired. The bright infrared flash offers contrast, clarity and minimal blurring. As with any infrared camera, there will always be some blurring, but this is among the better night flashes we have tested this year.
If an animals gets within 5-8 ft. of the camera, you can expect some "white out." That is expected and is simply the price you pay for having 60-70 feet of flash range.
Below are examples of day and night video capabilities. This camera does have audio so you can turn your speakers on.
Battery Life
2.8 Stars
The battery data below is nearly identical to the
Browning Spec Ops
, which is a no glow infrared camera. No glow cameras generally burn more power to overcome the 940 nm infrared LEDs (which are invisible to the human eye at night).
The resting current draw is the lowest we have ever tested and means the camera could sit inactive for a very long time. The day and night consumptions are significantly higher than a red glow camera should be. Browning has told us that they are addressing the problem and I wouldn't be surprised to see a firmware update in the near future that would lower the power consumption. Firmware updates can be done over your home computer. Most companies put out several of these a year to update various functions of their cameras.
Resting Current Draw
Daytime Power Consumption
Nighttime Power Consumption
0.10 ma
1253 ma
1382 ma
ma = milliamps
The Recon Force utilizes 8 AA batteries. They are located in a removable battery tray on the bottom of the camera.
Predicting battery life accurately, is a huge challenge. It depends on number of pictures taken in a given time period, the ratio of day to night pictures and the type of batteries being used. For the longest battery life possible, you should use
8 Energizer Lithium Batteries
. With these, you can expect 4-6 months of operation out of the camera (regardless of the weather).
Tenergy Nimh Rechargeable Batteries
will get approximately 2 months of battery life, but can be charged over and over (saving you money in the process).
Overall, the biggest and possibly only weakness of this camera is the day and night power consumption. In the grand scheme of things, the battery life isn't a huge issue as you still receive several months of battery life depending on the battery type you prefer.
Ease of Use
4.2 Stars
When it comes to case design, Browning really has it figured out. This has to be among the better looking cameras we have used. We were amazed at how well the camera blends in to bark patterns found here in the Midwest.
The buttons and switches are crisp and audible when clicking. The fit and finish of this camera is superb in every way. The Recon Force does not have the handy internal viewer (with the live preview function) that the Browning Spec Ops does, so camera trap setup needs to be done with your best judgement.
Slate River Mount
, which we use religiously, helps in angling the camera properly. For years we would "shim" cameras with bark or small twigs that we would find lying around the woods. The Slate River mount simply screws into a tree, or slips onto a
, and then angles perfectly for every shot setup. We know we talk about this little mount obsessively, but if you aren't locking the camera, it is absolutely the best thing you can do to increase the quality of the pictures you take.
Durability has been excellent so far. Very few issues and Browning already released firmware updates to fix a slight overexposure problem with some of the pictures
. The camera comes with a standard 1 year warranty. However, we always like to go a step further, for that reason, we give you a
2 year warranty
directly through us for no additional charge. In other words, if you purchase a camera from us, we cover it from defect for a full 2 years, for free.
In conclusion, the Browning Recon Force does nearly everything right. The day and night power consumption is the only area that this camera doesn't completely excel in. The biggest challenge we see with this camera is being stuck between the
Spec Ops
, which offers the internal viewer and no glow infrared flash, and the
Range Ops
, which is very similar to this camera but for a few minor changes. The $30 upgrade from the Range Ops to the Recon Force results in clearer day pictures, slightly brighter night pictures and a camo finish.

The 13th-ranked Arizona State University baseball team scored three runs in the eighth to break up a tie and take a 6-3 win in the Territorial Cup game on Saturday night in front of a season high 4,304 fans at Packard Stadium in Tempe, Ariz.
The Sun Devils (34-16-1, 15-11) used a bases-loaded walk from designated hitter Nate Causey and a two-run single by right fielder Trever Allen to notch three runs in the eighth inning and tie the Territorial Cup series at two games apiece.
Starting left-hander Ryan Kellogg did not allow an earned in 6 2/3 innings, but earned a no-decision after a throwing error in the top of the seventh gave Arizona one run. He threw six shutout frames before the unearned run in the seventh, and struck out three and issued just one walk and six hits. His 90 1/3 innings pitched this season are the seventh most by a freshman in ASU history.
Right-hander Ryan Burr (4-2) recorded the win after striking out the side in the ninth and throwing 1 1/3 prefect innings. He took the mound with two outs in the eighth and induced a groundout to strand a runner at second before his three consecutive strikeouts sealed the win.
Allen paced the Devils with three hits and a trio of RBI, shortstopDrew Stankiewicz added a pair of hits and center fielder Kasey Coffman scored two runs.
Third baseman Michael Benjamin gave the Devils the lead, 1-0, in the bottom of the third after a two-out RBI single plated Coffman, who took a two-out walk and stole second.
Kellogg had retired seven in a row before giving up a leadoff single to start the seventh. Arizona recorded two more singles for what appeared to be the tying run, but second baseman Trent Gilbert slipped on the base paths and left fielder Jake Peevyhouse threw him out at home to preserve the lead. However, a throwing error on Benjamin in the following at-bat brought catcher Riley Moore home from second and tied the game at one run apiece.
Left-hander Brett Lilek took the mound with the bases loaded in the top of the seventh after Kellogg issued a two-out walk, and struck out left fielder Cody Ramer looking to end the frame with the bases loaded and keep the score tied.
The Sun Devils responded with two runs on four consecutive singles in the bottom of the seventh to retake the lead, 3-1. Causey singled and advanced to second on a wild pitch before Allen put ASU ahead by one with an RBI single. Stankiewicz followed with a base hit and first baseman Dalton DiNatale provided the second run with an RBI single to left field.
Lilek hit the first batter of the eighth inning, and then a single and fielding error by Allen scored the lead runner from first to cut ASU's lead to one, 3-2. An RBI single by third baseman Brandon Dixon two batters later tied the game at three.
Coffman led off the eighth with a single and second baseman James McDonald followed with a base hit two batters later before a walk to catcher Max Rossiter loaded the bases with one out. Wildcats (30-21, 11-145) right-hander Matthew Troupe then walked Causey to give ASU a one-run lead, 4-3, and Allen followed with a two-run single to left field to score both McDonald and Rossiter.
Arizona starting right-hander James Farris was chased with one out in the bottom of the seventh after surrendering a pair of runs on four consecutive singles. He allowed three total runs on six hits and struck out seven in 6 1/3 innings. Left-hander Augey Bill (4-1) took his first loss of the season after conceding one run on one hit in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Up Next:
The Sun Devils close out their three-game Territorial Cup set against Arizona on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. at Packard Stadium. The contest will be broadcast by Tim Healey (@TimHealeyASU) and former Sun Devil baseball star Seth Dhaenens (@sethdhaenens) on the MidFirst Bank Sun Devil IMG Sports Network on NBC Sports Radio AM 1060 and on the All-Access Player at thesundevils.com.

A utility company preparing to build a new substation in an arid canyon southeast of Los Angeles has stumbled on a trove of animal fossils dating back 1.4 million years that researchers say will fill in blanks in Southern California's history.
The well-preserved cache contains nearly 1,500 bone fragments, including a giant cat that was the ancestor of the saber-toothed tiger, ground sloths the size of a modern-day grizzly bear, two types of camels and more than 1,200 bones from small rodents. Other finds include a new species of deer, horse and possibly llama, researchers affiliated with the project said.
by Phyllis Schlafly:
Arizona's new law that requires the police to ask people to show ID, which was just knocked out by a supremacist judge, may not be the most controversial Arizona law about illegal aliens. Governor Jan Brewer signed another law this year that bans schools from teaching classes designed to promote solidarity among students of a particular ethnic group.
This law bans classes that "promote the overthrow of the United States government" or "promote resentment toward a race or class of people" because schools should treat all pupils as individual Americans. The issue arose because the Tucson School District offers courses in Mexican-American studies (known locally as Raza Studies) that focus on that particular group and its influence.
J.B. Williams at American Thinker:
Prior to 1913, there was no federal income tax. The states had rights and representation in Washington DC, there was no Federal Reserve Bank, and the federal government lived under the enumerated powers afforded within the US Constitution. What a difference one year can make…
Passage of the 16th Amendment to the Constitution would forever change life in America and not for the better.
The 16th – The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
Further, thanks to the passage of the 17th Amendment, also passed in 1913, the states no longer have representation in Washington DC.
The 17th – The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each state, elected by the people thereof, for six years;
On July 27, 1953 @ 10:00pm (Korean time) the cease fire between North and South Korea officially went into effect but in reality both sides had ceased fire two hours earlier.
The armistice turned out to be one of the luckiest events of my life.
Eight of us were geared up and painted up for a recon (reconnaissance) patrol to a dome-shaped hill about 1000 yards to our front. Battalion had made the mission clear: we were to approach near the center of the near side, DO NOT be detected, work our way up to the mid-point of the 250′ hill, circle the girth if possible, return and report what we had observed.
The briefing had taken place about 3 hours before word of the cease fire came down. When word arrived our C.O. told the patrol to standby until further notice.
Finally, at about 2300 hours (11:00pm), while still reeling from the eerie silence, we were ordered to stand-down.
At daylight the next morning I noticed most of my platoon had gathered up near the ridgeline, looking north. I ran up and couldn't believe my eyes. The hill we had prepared to recon the night before was literally covered with Chinese. They were so thick it has hard to see the ground. In fact, the cease fire was near the end of my tour and that was the largest concentration of the enemy I had seen in my nine months in Korea. There's little doubt that we would've been wiped out before we made it up the hill and there's absolutely no doubt that the Chinese were planning a major offensive on our position.
Recently, some libtards have been raising a new question.
Was the U.S. right to intervene in Korea?
Last week Jonathan Tobin posted his review of a book by Bruce Cumings that criticizes U.S. intervention after North Korea invaded South Korea on June 25, 1950. Tobin says:
Turning history and logic on its head, Cumings believes that not only was American intervention in Korea wrong but the North Koreans were the good guys.
Tobin later mitigates that statement somewhat:
… He has a point when he notes that a record of collaboration with the brutal Japanese occupation of the country compromised the South Korean leadership during the first half of the 20th century. But however nasty some of the South Korean leaders were, it is impossible to compare them unfavorably with their Stalinist opponents in the North.
I agree with that observation. When the cease fire between the U.N., China and North Korea was negotiated and agreed to, South Korea President Syngman Rhee refused to participate and refused to sign.
In fact, Rhee was so pissed at the U.S. and U.N. for negotiating with "his" enemies that he ordered the mass release of North Korean and Chinese POWs under his control. Rhee released over 10,000 at one time and we had to fight in all directions as the released POWs tried to make their way north.
Furthermore, investigations later revealed that Rhee committed atrocities against suspected North Korean sympathizers in the South and slaughtered thousands of North Korea and Chinese POWs under his control.
But no matter how bad Rhee was, that doesn't make the North Korea despots one iota better than the despicable creatures they have always been.
One other note: Tobin never mentions that it was a young United Nations that intervened in the Korean conflict. The U.S. was just one of many nations that sent troops. I don't dispute that the USA carried the water during the U.N. debate but the Korean War was a UN war. In fact, my outfit often linked with and ran joint operations with units of Turkey, Britain, Canada and others.
From over the transom:
It happened every Friday evening, almost without fail, when the sun resembled a giant orange and was starting to dip into the blue ocean.
Old Ed came strolling along the beach to his favorite pier… Clutched in his bony hand was a bucket of shrimp. Ed walks out to the end of the pier, where it seems he almost has the world to himself. The glow of the sun is a golden bronze now.
Everybody's gone, except for a few joggers on the beach. Standing out on the end of the pier, Ed is alone with his thoughts…and his bucket of shrimp.
Before long, however, he is no longer alone. Up in the sky a thousand white dots come screeching and squawking, winging their way toward that lanky frame standing there on the end of the pier.
Before long, dozens of seagulls have enveloped him, their wings fluttering and flapping wildly. Ed stands there tossing shrimp to the hungry birds. As he does, if you listen closely, you can hear him say with a smile, 'Thank you. Thank you.'
In a few short minutes the bucket is empty. But Ed doesn't leave.
He stands there lost in thought, as though transported to another time and place.
When he finally turns around and begins to walk back toward the beach, a few of the birds hop along the pier with him until he gets to the stairs, and then they, too, fly away. And old Ed quietly makes his way down to the end of the beach and on home.
If you were sitting there on the pier with your fishing line in the water, Ed might seem like 'a funny old duck,' as my dad used to say. Or, 'a guy that's a sandwich shy of a picnic,' as my kids might say. To onlookers, he's just another old codger, lost in his own weird world, feeding the seagulls with a bucket full of shrimp.
To the onlooker, rituals can look either very strange or very empty. They can seem altogether unimportant …. maybe even a lot of nonsense.
Old folks often do strange things, at least in the eyes of Boomers and Busters.
Most of them would probably write Old Ed off, down there in Florida. That's too bad. They'd do well to know him better.
His full name: Eddie Rickenbacker. He was a famous hero back in World War I as Captain Eddie Rickenbacker. He shot down 26 enemy aircraft.
However, one of Rickenbacker's most famous near-death experiences occurred in October 1942. He was sent on a tour of the Pacific theater to review conditions and operations, and to personally deliver a secret message to General Douglas MacArthur. He and his seven-member crew went down. Miraculously, all of the men survived, crawled out of their plane, and climbed into a life raft.
Rickenbacker and his crew floated for days on the rough waters of the Pacific. They fought the sun. They fought sharks. Most of all, they fought hunger. By the eighth day their rations ran out. No food. No water. They were hundreds of miles from land and no one knew where they were.
They needed a miracle. That afternoon they had a simple devotional service and prayed for a miracle. They tried to nap. Eddie leaned back and pulled his military cap over his nose. Time dragged. All he could hear was the slap of the waves against the raft.
Suddenly, Eddie felt something land on the top of his cap. It was a seagull!
Old Ed would later describe how he sat perfectly still, planning his next move. With a flash of his hand and a squawk from the gull, he managed to grab it and wring its neck… He tore the feathers off, and he and his starving crew made a meal – a very slight meal for eight men – of it. Then they used the intestines for bait… With it, they caught fish, which gave them food and more bait….and the cycle continued. With that simple survival technique, they were able to endure the rigors of the sea until they were found and rescued (after 24 days at sea…).
Eddie Rickenbacker lived many years beyond that ordeal, but he never forgot the sacrifice of that first lifesaving seagull… And he never stopped saying, 'Thank you.' That's why almost every Friday night he would walk to the end of the pier with a bucket full of shrimp and a heart full of gratitude.

Yesterday TCM devoted the day to re-runs of The Underwater World of Jacques Cousteau and The Cousteau Odyssey. I took the time to re-watch some of the episodes.
One show that I just happen to catch was Cousteau's dive to explore the HMHS Britannic off the coast of Greece. Here's a memory refresher from Wikipedia:
HMHS Britannic was the third and largest Olympic-class ocean liner of the White Star Line. It was the sister ship of RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic, and was intended to enter service as a transatlantic passenger liner. She was launched just before the start of the First World War and was quickly put to use as a hospital ship. In that role she struck a mine off the Greek island of Kea on 21 November 1916, and sank with the loss of 30 lives.
In the show, the narrator says that Cousteau thought the hole in the ship's hull was too large to have been caused by a mine so Cousteau speculated that perhaps the ship's boiler exploded. It's interesting to me that Cousteau made that observation over 30 years ago but the person posting at Wikipedia doesn't mention it.
But that's not the most interesting thing I learned.
Did you ever hear of Violet Jessop?
Even at my advanced years the name seems to ring a bell but I have to admit that her name was no longer in my consciousness.
Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia on her:
Violet Constance Jessop (1 October 1887 – 5 May 1971) was an ocean liner stewardess and nurse who achieved fame by surviving the disastrous sinkings of the sister ships RMS Titanic and HMHS Britannic in 1912 and 1916, respectively. In addition, she had been on board their other sister ship RMS Olympic, when it collided with the HMS Hawke in 1911.
Sony Tokyo To End Production of 3.5-Inch Floppy Disks
In a sign of the times, Sony on Monday confirmed that it will soon end the sale of floppy disks.
Sony Tokyo will end sales of 3.5-inch floppy disks in Japan, effective March 2011, a Sony spokeswoman said in an e-mail.
The disks have been shipping in Japan since 1983. Evolving technology and storage options, however, including cloud computing and high-capacity USB drives, not to mention computers that no longer include disk drives, have made the floppy disks less useful in recent years.
New York City's oldest library says President Washington checked out two books in 1789 and never returned them. As Jeff Glor reports, Mr. Washington owes $300,000 in late fees.
Van der Leun, December 24, 2007:
A short list. In no particular order.
We had car shows, boat shows, beauty shows and dog shows.
We ran robots on the surface of Mars by remote control.
Our women came from all over the world in all shapes and sizes hues and scents.
We actually believed that all men are created equal and tried to make it come true.
Everybody liked our movies and loved our television shows.
We tried to educate everybody, whether they wanted it or not. Sometimes we succeeded.
We did Levis.
We held the torch high and hundreds of millions came. No matter what the cost.
Judi McLeod in CFP:
Poland's President Lech Kaczynski was leading a delegation of top Polish officials, including Gen. Franciszek Gagor, head of the army and chief of staff, to memorial ceremonies at Katyn, the site of a massacre of 22,000 Poles by Soviet agents 70 years ago. "The soul trembles to think that Katyn has taken new victims," said Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the International Affairs Committee in Russia's parliament.
"More than 90 souls, including many high officials of the Polish state" President Lech Kaczynski and his wife, MPs, the highest military, banking officers and many other people."
J.R. Dunn, March 29, at American Thinker:
The Supreme Court and FDR's Power Grab
How great a chance do we have to overthrow ObamaCare in the courts? To answer that question we need to look into that bleak pit of falsehood and mendacity that America's left would like us to ignore at all costs, the historical record.
We need to look at the original effort to nationalize the American economy, the one attempted by Obama's model, Franklin D. Roosevelt, by means of the New Deal. FDR was never quite clear about what he wanted to do. He was clear about the goal, but not about how to get there. Not unlike Obama, he left that problem to various retainers, in this case the members of the Brain Trust.
The two key Brain Trusters were Adolf Berle and Rexford G. Tugwell. Both men were professors at Columbia, and both were of one mind concerning the solutions to America's economic problems: collectivism, centralization, and state control. [Bold added]
You won't see this in the MSM so here's a link to the local paper….
NEW BRITAIN — The names are a chronicle of this diverse city — Colello, Dixon, McEnaney and Meskill; Nadeau, Ohanesian, Pozniak and Rabinowitz.
They were among the World War II veterans memorialized on a stone and metal monument in a tiny city park. Now, that honor roll has been defaced and diminished.
Two of six plaques bearing veterans' names were pried from the monument in Kulper Park more than a week ago. Police are searching for the missing plaques and those responsible for what Lt. James Wardwell called "a truly despicable crime."
Investigators are not sure whether the culprits were vandals or thieves out to cash in the plaques at a scrap yard, Wardwell said. Police have alerted scrap yards in the area to look out for the plaques, which are made of either bronze or brass.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — "I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith."
2 Timothy 4:7
ANDERSON — Saturday, August 17, Randy Hughes, 57, peacefully passed to join the host of family angels awaiting his heavenly arrival, specifically beloved daughter, Cheree, and recently departed sister, Mickey. Randy's quiet courage, strength and determination served him well during his decade-long journey as a kidney transplant recipient and diabetes patient.
The firstborn son of Douglas and Cona Mae (Harper) Hughes, July 7, 1956, his 6- and 4-year sisters, Vickie and Mickey, were over-the-moon with excitement, pride and love!
Randy graduated from Madison Heights in 1974, worked for Mathews Market, and in November, married his high school sweetheart, Brenda Ferrell. From that day forward, family was Randy's heart and soul! The little ones came; Cheree, Michelle and Justin, and he gained a second family in Willie and Daffo Ferrell, Grandpa Bedford and Grandma Arngie. There were no in-laws to Randy, just family! Together with Brenda, their home was a constant refuge to many.
Baptized as a teen, Randy and Brenda were members of Madison Park Church of God. Without question, his faith and love of God were the foundation upon which he bore his many challenges.
A member of UAW 663, Randy worked 15 years at Guide Lamp, many of those years as committeeman. He also was a top-notch salesman for Payton-Wells Ford before the adversity of his diabetes began.
At age 11, he began to bowl at Rains Bowling Alley. His passion was inspired by his Dad, and Randy in turn passed that love and skill to his son Justin. He was a 30+ year member of Anderson USBCBA. A close second on his happiness meter was fishing! Then of course came racing…he and his Dad loved NASCAR, but the 34-year ritual of Indy 500 time trials, first weekend, first in line, same identical seats…they were a team! Coached by the Swanson brothers, Dude and David, they shaped Randy into a pretty good Babe Ruth player in the day…but pride knew no bounds when Randy was watching his grandson, Jayden play baseball!
True to his roots, Randy was a big country music fan, and vacation memories at Pigeon Forge and Dollywood are shared fondly by his children and grandbabes.
Preceding Randy in death were his daughter, Cheree; father, Douglas Hughes; grandparents, Alvin and Jessie Harper and Paskell and Lizzie Hughes; stepfather, Raymond Winkel; nephew, Jamie Lunsford; brother-in-law, Roy Robinson; and special cousins, Terry Lynn (Hughes) Cox, Jesse Paul Hughes, Jr., Donnie Hughes and Rick Musick; and many aunts and uncles.
Surviving with precious memories are his wife of 39 years, Brenda (Ferrell) Hughes; son, Justin; daughter, Michelle; granddaughters, Shelby (Ben) Kirkwood and Kinley; grandsons, Jayden and Navin; great-grandson, Bennett Kirkwood; newborn great-granddaughter, Aubree Kirkwood; mother, Cona Mae Winkel; stepmother, Betty Hughes; sisters, Vickie Robinson, Tammy Hughes and Nikki (Kevin) Watson; brothers, Tim Winkel and Tony (Carla) Hughes; father- and mother-in-law, Willie and Daffo Ferrell; countless aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and their children; and of course special lifetime friends, all of whom know who they are. Of special note, Uncle Jess Hughes was "designated" Randy's rock after losing his Dad. They finally agreed to call it a tie as to who loved the other more!
Services will be 1 p.m. Thursday at Madison Park Church of God with Rev. Jim Lyon officiating. Burial will follow in Anderson Memorial Park Cemetery. A Celebration of Life dinner will follow at the church.
Visitation will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday at the church.
Brown-Butz-Diedring Funeral Home has been entrusted with the arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests memorial contributions be made directly to the funeral home to help with expenses.
Post online condolences at www.brownbutzdiedring.com or www.theheraldbulletin.com.

Could Padres Raid Marlins?
The linked article implies that the Marlins will become sellers again this offseason. My first thought is "What players would the Padres want and how could they get them?" I think it's pretty obvious that the Padres biggest trading chit is Kyle Blanks. The Marlins wouldn't go for a straight swap of Uggla for Blanks, but maybe if we threw in Antonelli, Josh Geer or Cesar Ramos? I haven't analyzed that too much, but it seems like a decent deal to me.

Reporter: Dhomonique Ricks l Videographer: Parker Slaybaugh
Madison Heights, VA - You know that room you have in your home that has a bunch of stuff piled up in it? It might be your garage, or a den, or just a room you have turned into storage. Well, we are going to show you how to flip that room and turn it back into a livable space with the help of interior decorator Moyanne Harding.
"The idea is to recreate it and make it more gorgeous," said Harding with Interiors by Moyanne.
We started with a crammed screened in porch down by the river.
"I think people don't realize that they can take a really tiny space and make it fabulous," said Harding.
Harding is here to show us how to make a crowded space feel more spacious, open and bright.
"You can do this for nothing. And paint goes such a long way The main thing to keep in mind is organizing and hiding the clutter," said Harding.
She and her crew will flip this room by repainting, adding plants, fixing up the windows and adding a few personal touches. Over the course of a week they were able to transform the space.
"We've just kind of cleaned it up and made it a much more livable space," said Harding.
You can recreate this look too. Add baskets and cabinets to store things in.
"Just a great place to hid things that you don't want to see cluttering up your space," said Harding.
Also look for multi functional pieces, like the bench which she highlights in the segment.
"It functions in two ways. It's also seating. You can do pretty pillows, change that out. The top also opens so you can put storage inside the bench," said Harding.
She and her crew whitewashed the entire space, and added an eating area, drapes and window blinds. The price for this total makeover?
"You're probably looking at maybe $200 to $300 and a lot of labor," said Harding.
Moyanne says to add art work that fits into your theme.

Evidentally current Microsoft staff on the ASP.Net 2.0 team thinks business logic in stored procedures is a good idea… just look at the procedures that the Membership/Profile/etc providers use.
Using sproc's for CRUD is debatable (but almost as dull as C# vs VB.Net or Java), but business logic in sprocs is a very different ugly subject and I'd bet that's what he was talking about in the post.
Has anyone debated that business logic in sprocs is a good idea? If so, I missed that one.

News: Joey Bada$$ Says Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City, Singles Out Radio For Blacklisting His Crew
Friday, Aug 23, 2013 5:40PM
Brooklyn rapper Joey Bada$$ wants his proper respect and has publicly spoken out on his own New York City hometown not showing him enough love on the radio.
Joey hopped onto his Twitter page this week to unleash his feelings about the Empire State's lack of interest and claim he is blacklisted.
"My city got no love for me. You never hear the ERA on the radio... sh*t is depressing," Joey tweeted August 22.
"My team is blacklisted. Its like we too raw, too nice 4 these nikkkaz." (Joey Bada$$' Twitter)
The BK rapper also reportedly singled out New York's Hot 97 radio station.
Bada$$ also went on to allege that Peter Rosenberg of New York's famed Hot 97 has stopped spinning him on the radio because earlier this summer, he shouted out rival hip-hop station, Power 105.1, on his song, "Death Of Yolo." In a since deleted tweet, Joey sent these comments out to fans: "Eye heard @Rosenbergradio dont bump me no more cuz eye shouted out 105.1 on death of yolo lmao." (XXL Mag)
Recently, Joey talked about things not panning out with Roc Nation, but promised there is no bad blood between himself and Jay Z.
You're the indie rapper who famously refused to sign with Jay-Z's Roc Nation. That's pretty cool to be the one guy who turned down Jay-Z. It wasn't really a "turn down," it was more of a mutual understanding. People and the media are going to change things to what they want to hear. It's more, he seen my vision and he got what I was trying to do. That's what it was. He was like, "I see you little homie." Are you and Jay-Z still friends? Can you just text him whenever you want? I wish, man. A lot of relationships you think that rappers have with each other are not true. It's fiction. (Village Voice)
Bada$$ also did not sugarcoat how many millions a major label needs to offer him.
Is there anything that a major label could offer to get you to sign now? Three million. Off the top. If I gave you $3 million right now, you'd sign to my record label? Hell yeah. Get my Mom out the hood. You feel me? (Village Voice)
Earlier this year, the New York rapper said media outlets jumped the gun on a Roc Nation deal which, he said, never existed.
"They actually announced it on the radio that I signed with them -- that was dumb as f*ck," Joey said in an interview. "Won't sign to no major, for no wager, less than a 3 million offer of the top, I be in a box when my coffin drops, why settle for an office spot? That type of thing, you know. Not really, major labels is just not where my head is at right now, you know? [Independent?] Yeah, that's more of where my head is at, 'cause that's what I'm tryna to do, I'm tryna go more independent." (The Source)
Recently, renowned booking agent Peter Schwartz spoke to SOHH about booking shows for Bada$$ off the strength of his online presence.
"But nowadays, the Internet's so strong that an artist can put out a mixtape on the web and be worth tickets in Europe right away. For example, we work with Joey Bada$$ and he hasn't really put out an album yet. He's got music on the web but he just went over to Europe and did his first tour there selling out five hundred and six hundred cap clubs his first time there." (SOHH Guest Star)

There are plenty of things to do on a Saturday night. However, most don't involve watching two men locked inside of a cage attempting to punch, kick, knee, and choke their way to victory. In reality, though, few things match the excitement.
UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida is another stacked UFC card that will feature five former world champions and be headlined by Jon Jones and Lyoto Machida squaring off in a light heavyweight championship contest. A number of notable names including both Nogueira brothers, Tito Ortiz, Frank Mir and Mark Hominick are featured on the undercard, and with all that firepower, the card has the potential to go down as one of the best of the year.
If you weren't planning on tuning in already, here are five reasons why you should invite some friends over, order a few pizzas, grab a couple beers, and order UFC 140 this Saturday, only on pay-per-view.
5. Featherweights Collide
Featherweight action will kick off the UFC 140 main card in Toronto as two of the most exciting fighters in the division will face off in a "Fight of the Night" candidate. Mark "The Machine" Hominick will return to the octagon for the first time since coming up short for the title against Jose Aldo at UFC 129 in April. The Canadian draws a tough opponent in his rebound fight, as he will face "The Korean Zombie", Chan Sung Jung.
Hominick is one of the best strikers in the division. The former TKO Featherweight Champion and has some of the most technical kickboxing orientated striking attack in the division. Hominick will attempt to put his accurate striking to use by defeating Jung in front of his home country. Jung is on a roll his own right, defeating Leonard Garcia with a rare twister submission hold in his last outing. The Taekwondo black belt is a well-rounded and exciting competitor who puts it all on the line every time he steps in the octagon.
Hominick and Jung are two of the most exciting fighters in the featherweight division, both are extremely exciting and always look to finish the fight; be it on the ground or in the stand up. As the only featherweight bout on the card, Hominick vs. Jung is a perfect fight to represent the division on Saturday night.
4. The Rebirth of Tito Ortiz Continues
After a tough run including neck and back surgeries, a four year win less streak and a very public dispute with girlfriend Jenna Jameson, former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz appears to be putting it all back together and beginning to tap into his former glory.
"The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" had his back against the wall when he faced rising star Ryan Bader at UFC 132 in July. UFC president Dana White stated if Ortiz lost the bout, it would likely be the last time fans would see him inside the octagon. Not only did Ortiz win that night, but dropped and submitted Bader in the very first round to score his first victory since October 10th, 2006.
It was the most important win of his career, but his resurgence didn't stop there. A mere three weeks later, Ortiz would replace an injured Phil Davis to compete in the UFC 133 main event against Rashad Evans. Ortiz would lose the fight, but his fighting spirit of taking the bout on short notice was enough for Dana White to keep him around for at least one more fight.
On Saturday night, Ortiz will take on Brazilian submission expert Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in a fight that will pit Ortiz's wrestling against Nogueira's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Nogueira is one of the best fighters in the division; he has dabbled in out and out of the top-10 and is a stern test for the former light heavyweight champion. Saturday's fight is a big one for Ortiz, the Californian is out to prove he can not only hang with the best, but beat them as well.
3. Frank Mir & Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Finally Rematch
Following a shocking and career-salvaging knockout victory over Brendan Schaub last September at UFC 134, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira made it public that he wanted a re-match with the first man to knock him out in mixed martial arts competition, Frank Mir.
Mir and Nogueira first fought back in 2008 at UFC 92, where Mir scored a second-round TKO victory over Nogueira in one of the most impressive performances of his career. However, in the weeks after the fight, Nogueira confirmed he entered the bout with a knee injury and staph infection that plagued him throughout his training camp. Nogueira claims the injuries affected his performance against Mir, and if healthy, it would have been a very different fight.
Now the Brazilian will get the chance to back up his statement.
It is the perfect time for these two big men to meet again. Mir is on a two-fight win streak, having defeating Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic and Roy Nelson in his last two outings. After Nogueira defeated Schaub in August, the timing for the rematch worked out perfectly.
Nogueira and Mir were scheduled for a rematch once before at UFC 119 in September of 2010, but Nogueira was forced to withdraw from the bout due to an injury and Mir would go on to knock out "Cro Cop" on that night. The rematch three years in the making, Nogueira wants to prove his performance in the first fight was influenced by injuries, while Mir looks to put on an encore performance and prove he is the better fighter once and for all.
It's a relief this fight is finally happening, now hopefully this time it ends free of controversy.
2. Jon "Bones" Jones
If there's one reason to watch UFC 140 on Saturday night, current light heavyweight champion Jon "Bones" Jones defending his championship for the second time against Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida might be it. The 24-year old world champion is one of the very best athletes currently fighting in mixed martial arts, he has a creative and dynamic offensive attack and is capable of performing just about any martial arts move one can think of.
Jones will fight for the fourth time this year, most recently dominating former light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson in September to successfully defend the belt for the first time. The New York native made it look easy, picking "Rampage" apart with strikes over the course of four rounds, eventfully securing a takedown and locking in a rear-naked choke submission for the win. Jones displayed improved patience, technique and precision against Jackson, and is only refining his skills as time goes on.
Simply put, Jon Jones in the future of MMA, he has already achieved great things and has his sights on event bigger goals in the future, such as a move to the heavyweight division. Tune in on Saturday night to catch the next chapter the career of a one-of-a-kind athlete.
1. Five Former UFC Champions Compete
The UFC 140 main card will feature five current or former UFC champions. Reigning and defending light heavyweight champion Jon "Bones" Jones will attempt to make his second successful title defense against former light heavyweight champion Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida in the main event of the evening The co-main event will pit former UFC heavyweight champions Frank Mir and Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira against each other for the second time, and in other main card action, former light heavyweight champion "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Tito Ortiz will meet Antonio Rogerio "Minotauro" Nogueira in a 205 pound contest.
Five UFC world champions, one night. Saturday's UFC card is one featuring legendary names and great match ups, if you want to watch the very best the UFC has to offer, UFC 140 from Toronto is a must-see event.
All comments --positive or negative-- are welcomed and encouraged. Thanks!

According to si.com, ESPN, the mass-media mainstream corporate empire, is "in talks about a partnership" with the NFL Network, which is owned and operated by the NFL.
In my opinion, if this went through, it would suck really, really bad. ESPN has reduced from a respectable channel to a lazy pack of rubbish, led by ignorant know-nothings and Chris Berman's whoooop noise. Instead of sticking to what they do best, the highlights, they feel the need to pack countless hours of feel good stories, unresearched analysis, and mediocre, well, everything. Remember "Who's Now?" That was the worst idea, ever.
NFL Network has its share of blithering windbags, sure, but everything ESPN touches turns to crap. If you need convincing, take a look at this.
Also, the NFL Network at least recognizes the Broncos' existence. They give decent coverage, especially of the draft, and most of their reporters seem to know a little bit about everyone they're covering. ESPN taking NFL Network would put an end to any respectable analysis available on TV.

I, again, have the time to post some thoughts this week. I will be covering some concerns I noticed from the Monday Night Football game last week in San Diego, while also looking ahead to this weeks' contest in Baltimore. I will also touch on some other things that perked my interest this week, including Da Cutlers...err, I mean Da Bears and also Brett Kern. Enough of the intro, let's get on with it!
Concerns from the San Diego game
After watching the game again, I noticed something I hadn't seen much of all year. That would be opposing offensive plays of 10 yards or more. Against San Diego, much of those were nearly 20 yard chunks at a time. I decided to look back at the entire season to find out how many big plays our defense was giving up compared to the San Diego game and this is what I came up with:
|Big Play Index
|San Diego Chargers
|New England Patriots
|Dallas Cowboys
|Oakland Raiders
|Cleveland Browns
|Cincinnati Bengals
Now, there a couple of things we can do with this information and the first of which is to ignore Weeks 1 through 3. The first week, most of those big plays took place on the final drive that should have won the game if it weren't for one huge play by Stokely and the Broncos to win the game with ten seconds left. Weeks 2 and 3 were against worthless teams whose "big plays" results in a grand total of nine points combined. Most of those "big plays" were of the dink and dunk 10-12 yarders. I'm not too concerned with those numbers.
Really, the only trends I am looking at are from Weeks 4-6. In the Dallas game, most of the big plays came in the first quarter before their offensive line became a mass of out of shape blubber. The only really big play of the game came at the end with that 53 yard catch and run by Sam Hurd. We lucked out again with a huge goal line stand to end the game. A game that shouldn't have even been as close as it was, but our offense was still struggling back then.
The defense again started slow against New England, but dominated the second half - allowing the offense to rally to tie the score. The defense gave up more big plays in this game, but played better overall in my opinion. The trend still shows a marked increase from week 4 to week 5 though, but there was little reason to be concerned.
Then came the Monday Night Football game and yes I know the San Diego Chargers were desperate and needed this win more than we did, but this game was the first time I had seen any opponent rip off 17+ yard gains at the drop of a hat. Nearly half of the Chargers 10-19 yard plays were over 16 yards, plus they ripped off four 20+ gains during the game. That's some big chunks of yardage and many of them came during the same drives, which allowed points to be scored. I know many will say that this defense bends, but doesn't break... I absolutely hate that type of defensive philosophy. Why? Because eventually a "bend but dont break" defense breaks. And they break hard. Think back to the 2005 AFC Championship game. I don't want another "bend but dont break" defense. I want a stout, physical and in your face defense. I know that type of defense gives up the occasional big play, but they rarely give up tons of yardage.
One other thing of minor concern, here are the points we've given up from weeks 1 to 6 - 7, 6, 3, 10, 17, 23. That is another trend that concerns me a bit. A championship caliber defense gives up less than two touchdowns per game. I'd love to see that happen through the entire season, but I'd settle for less than 15. If our defense gives up more, then our offense is going to need to step up their game significantly heading down the stretch.
I'll concede that it's a bit early to be worried about any of these things, which is why I choose to call this section "Concerns..". I am not ready to panic or even be worried. Last week could have been an anomoly, but if the Ravens rip off big chunks against us this week and we give up more than two touchdowns...even if we win, I will start to worry. If it happens again against Pittsburgh, then I'll start to panic. For now, let's just say I am somewhat concerned about it.
Denver Broncos @ Baltimore Ravens - Underdogs Again?!
You would think Vegas would learn their lesson by now. I've never seen such overt disrespect by a group that is supposed to be more worried about making money than losing it. Vegas has made the Broncos underdogs in five of their six games. And the Broncos are -4.5 dogs this week against a team with HALF as many victories as the Broncos. I love it, the Broncos are 5-0 as dogs...bring it.
The Ravens are going to be desperate for a win, but I just don't think their defense is all that good. They were ranked in the lower half of the league prior to the Bye and have given up 100 yard rushers in all of their last three games, not to mention their subpar passing defense. While their offense has not been able to run the ball with much effectiveness in the last three games and are going to face one of the leagues top defensive units in the Broncos.
If this game was in Denver, it wouldn't be all that close...but I'll give the Ravens an edge with their backs up against the wall, but I still give the Broncos the win, 20-13. It just seems to me that the Broncos will never be favorites over any of last years playoff teams. I'll bet that the only time the Broncos will be favored for the next five games will be against the Washington Redskins. Go figure. Hopefully, we'll head into Indianapolis undefeated and dogged.
Da Cutlers...err, I mean Da Bears!
I can't help but laugh at Jay Cutler's misfortunes. I know this will upset many who have a soft spot for the guy, but he is getting what he deserves. A team can only win through talent and quality of leadership. It has become apparent to me that the Denver Broncos made a horrible mistake in drafting Jay Cutler. The reason for that is simple, he is not a leader of men. Jake Plummer was a leader of men. He was 7-4 when he was benched and also the winningest quarterback in franchise history. Jay Cutler took that 7-4 team to a 9-7 record and missed the playoffs. People blame it on losing Al Wilson, well yeah, that did play a part in it, but I also think the players were less than happy about Plummer's dismissal.
Cutler went on to lead the Bronco's to a 17-20 record over the course of 2 and a half years. Blame was always shifted elsewhere by the media and by most of us here at MHR. Cutler leaves, we bring in a guy who is a leader of men and we are 6-0. Go figure. Talent is overrated in the NFL, since the difference in talent isn't really all that large. I have found Kyle Orton to be incredibly accurate in the long pass, so does a noodle arm equate to a 65 yard pass instead of a 70 yard pass? Who would you rather have, JaMarcus Russell or Kyle Orton? Get real!
Jay Cutler has all the tools, but he is not a team player. I don't think he will ever win consistently in the NFL unless he learns that important trait. A trait that he almost certainly would have learned had he stayed in Denver. I will laugh at his misfortunes because he wounded me as a fan. At the same time, I count my lucky stars that our team got so much in return for such a selfish player.
I must also say that it is okay to bash Cutler within the confines of MHR, because he did this fanbase wrong in the way he forced a trade, BUT it is not okay to go over to Windy City Gridiron and gloat or cause trouble. Remember, everything they say and believe in Jay Cutler is what we here did for two plus years while he was our quarterback. We are no longer blinded by out belief that Cutler was great and there is no way any of us will ever help a Bears fan see the light while Cutler is a Bear. It's just not going to happen and it does no one any good by rubbing salt on their wounds. Let it be and look forward to a nice draft pick in 2010.
Brett Kern
The last thing I need to talk about is our former punter, Brett Kern. I support McD's decision to improve the football team and this isn't about that. I just want to wish Brett Kern the best and I hope he finds a place to kick the ball. It is hard raising a young family and even more difficult when the family includes an infant. He strikes me as a good person with a solid character. Perhaps another team will be able to use him. Best of luck to you Brett!

The MS and PhD are research degrees requiring course work plus original research leading to a thesis or dissertation. Students holding the baccalaureate degree are normally admitted at the MS level but may petition to bypass this degree and work towards the PhD after meeting specific departmental requirements.
