Standardized tests are the bane of many students. Why should a few hours filling in circles with a #2 pencil carry so much weight when applying to college? Browse through the college profiles. If you discover that your ACT scores are lower than most matriculated students, don't worry. You still have several paths to an excellent college. The tips below can help.
1. Compensate with Other Strengths
If you're applying to colleges with holistic admissions (most selective colleges do), the admissions officers are evaluating you, not reducing you to a few numbers. In an ideal situation, you'd have high test scores to go along with your other strengths. But it's important to remember that when you look at the mid 50% range of ACT scores in the college profiles, 25% of matriculated students scored below the bottom score. Those students in the bottom quartile compensated for their ACT scores with strengths such as these:
2. Take the Exam Again
The ACT is offered in September, October, December, February, April and May. Unless application deadlines are upon you, chances are you have time to retake the exam if you are unhappy with your scores. Realize that simply retaking the exam is unlikely to improve your score much. However, if you put some effort into a practice book or take an ACT prep course, there's a good chance you can bring up your score a bit. The majority of colleges will look only at your best scores, so those low scores can quickly become irrelevant.

3. Take the SAT
Taking more standardized tests may not sound like a fun solution to your scores, but if you did poorly on the ACT, you might do better on the SAT. The exams are quite different -- the SAT is designed to test your verbal and reasoning aptitude , whereas the ACT tests your achievement in core high school subject. Almost all colleges will accept either exam.

4. Finds Schools Where Your Low Scores are Good
There are thousands of four-year colleges in the United States, and the great majority of them don't look for students who got a 36 on the ACT. Don't let the hype surrounding a few elite colleges make you think that you can't go to an good college. The reality is that quite different. The United States has a great number of excellent colleges where an average score of about 21 is perfectly acceptable. Are you below 21? -- Many good colleges are happy to admit students with below-average scores. Browse through the options and identify colleges where your test scores seem to be in line with typical applicants.
5. Apply to Colleges that Don't Require Scores
Many, many colleges recognize that standardized tests are not a very meaningful measure of a student's accomplishments. As a result, there are now over 800 colleges don't require test scores. Every year, more and more colleges have come to recognize that the exam privileges privileged students, and that your academic record is a better predictor of college success than ACT scores. Many excellent colleges have joined the test-optional movement.

I know that not all angels have wings. But what about the old saying that angels must earn their wings, and why do they need wings? If they are spirits, they can float about, why need wings? And when do they earn them?
The Bible doesn't tell us that much about angels, and that is our only source of dependable information about spiritual beings.
That "old saying" is only that, and it has nothing to do with truth or reality. The Bible says nothing about angels earning their wings; it does say that God created them, and there are good angels and evil angels. Whatever wings they have were given to them by God.
Why do they need wings? The description of seraphim in Isaiah 6 says that those angels had "six wings: with two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying." Wings were used to show respect to God by covering their faces and feet, but they also used them to fly. I don't know why--maybe because it's fun? :::::smile:::::
Hope this helps separate the cultural ideas we have about angels from some of the biblical truth about them. My guess is that God doesn't tell us a whole lot about angels because He knows we'd concentrate on them instead of on Him. And holy angels would be horrified by that prospect!

Former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Muhammed Lawal is back in action this Saturday night (Sept. 10) on the main card of the promotion's heavyweight grand prix event from the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio.
"King Mo" will battle undefeated grappling wizard Roger Gracie live on Showtime.
Lawal hasn't been seen since Aug. 2010, when he dropped his 205-pound strap to Rafael Cavalcante in his first title defense after winning the belt from Gegard Mousasi.
To add injury to insult, the freestyle wrestling phenom blew out his knee in the process, forcing him out of action for an extended period of time.
But that hasn't hurt his status as odds-on favorite in "Queen City," as the bookies have pegged him at -150 against Gracie's +120.
After injuries and a myriad of other problems kept Gracie from competing, the Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC) Superfight Champion finally made his Strikeforce debut at the "Heavy Artillery" Showtime event last May 2010, strangling Kevin Randleman to notch his third win in as many tries.
The victory was Gracie's first on U.S. soil since throwing his hat into the sport way back in December 2006. He followed that up with yet another submission victory, a first round choke-out of well-traveled veteran Trevor Prangley.
Lawal is a big step up for the budding mixed martial artist; can he handle it?
The Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix Semifinals will feature a headlining tournament bout between former PRIDE stars Josh Barnett and Sergei Kharitonov.

This is a bit labor-intensive. If you can, get someone else to do the continuous stirring. Even if you have to do it all yourself, it's well worth it.
I also make a version with fresh tomatoes and basil instead of the spinach. Mushrooms are a nice addition if you like them.
- 2 1/2 cups Arborio Rice
- 4-5 Garlic Cloves, Minced
- Olive Oil
- About a Cup of Dry White Wine
- 6 to 7 Cups Chicken Broth
- Fresh Spinach
Cover the bottom of a large pot or saute pan with olive oil. Heat the chicken broth in a separate saucepan and keep it simmering over low heat.
Heat the oil over medium to medium high heat and stir in the garlic.
Add rice.
Cook and stir for a few minutes, until the rice starts to turn brighter white.
Add the wine reduce heat to medium-ish. Keep stirring.
When enough liquid is absorbed that the spoon leaves a path in the bottom of the pot, it's time to add more liquid.
Add a bit of chicken broth.
Keep stirring until it's time to add more liquid. Repeat, stirring and adding a bit of broth at a time, until the rice is nearly tender.
Add the spinach and stir.
The spinach will wilt quickly. Taste test the rice. If it's not tender, continue adding a bit more broth stirring until it's tender, the broth is absorbed and it's all nice and creamy.
Serve, with fresh Parmesan if you like.

Selling my broken screen AT&T One X.
So I'm going to be selling my AT&T HTC One X which I bought at launch and now has a cracked screen (picture attached) so I can get a Nexus 4 when it comes out. The question is, should I get it repaired through HTC first for $210, effectively turning it into a new phone, and then sell it? What price do you guys think I could get for it in its current state, and what price after a possible repair?
Thanks for the help!

Ed Carpenter continues to be the most consistent and successful oval racer in the IndyCar Series right now, using the final green flag stint to move into the top-five and score his best-career finish at Iowa Speedway on Sunday -- a fourth-place result.
In four oval starts this season, Ed Carpenter has an average finish of eighth. He's averaged just an 18.3 in the other events this season on road and street courses.
Sunday featured another strong run on an oval for Carpenter, leading 18 laps after stretching his fuel on the right before last stint. He surrendered the lead on lap 214 for his final pit stop but was delayed in his box and fell back to 10th -- giving up all the positions he had gained by staying out.
But Carpenter would gain six spot over the final 36 laps and battle back to fourth, passing Graham Rahal for the position with just two laps to go.
The owner-driver says he is content to score a top-five but wishes he and the team had been a little bit more aggressive with their early race set-up.
"We made all of the right changes late and we were fast at the end," Carpenter said. "I think we had a car fast enough to win today but our last green flag pit stop didn't go as well as we wanted... Overall, we still got a Top-5 finish today, so it wasn't a bad day for us."
Next up for Carpenter and the IndyCar Series is Pocono International Raceway, a track similar in structure to Indianapolis Motor Speedway -- where he scored a pole and top-10 in the 500-mile Race last month.

Dear Tiffany -
"Wylie responded that the time on the CVS receipt was around 10 minutes later than the time of the robbery. In the drugstore's security footage, Jordan can clearly be seen entering the store with a black bag of similar shape and size as the one the victim said he was hit in the head with, Wylie said."
Maybe you shouldn't have mentioned the CVS receipt. Get a lawyer before opening your mouth again.

Wha, wha, WHA? This article makes no sense. You present the whole situation as a "he said, she said" issue then you casually drop in what seems to be 100% exculpatory evidence in the very end? Shouldn't the headline, i.e. isn't the NEWS story here, be that police now admit they have evidence proving the guy they nabbed is completely innocent?
If the story is accurate, the police should issue a public apology to Mr. Jordan. That will help to clear the man's name on The Google and elsewhere.
If the story is not accurate, please follow-up!

With it looking highly unlikely that CM Punk will return to WWE anytime soon and it being well known that he is a big fan of MMA, the rumour mill has already gone into overdrive that his leave of absence from pro wrestling will allow him the opportunity to try his hand at fighting for real.
Punk's Brazilian jiu-jitsu trainer Rener Gracie has already let it be known that he thinks his student could be a big success in MMA if he devoted himself to his training full time.
Dana White when asked about the prospects of Punk ever competing in UFC gave an answer that suggests he wouldn't completely disregard the idea out of hand.
Even the former Power Ranger Jason David Frank, who's had several amateur and professional MMA fights in the past, has got on the bandwagon to challenge him to a celebrity scrap.
Of course, such an outrageous gimmick fight could never see the light of day in UFC, but it might not be out of the question for the struggling Bellator promotion that is desperate for mainstream media attention and ratings.
Indeed, according to Dave Meltzer in his Feb. 3rd subscriber only Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Bellator is already making overtures for Punk to fight for the company:
"Bellator has already expressed at least preliminary interest in him. He would be free and clear of any WWE contractual obligations in July....
I get the impression a part of him would like to do it the same way Batista did it as a bucket list thing. With Batista, it seemed on the surface to be a real bad risk, but in the end, he did it and wasn't hurt at all. With Punk, on the surface, it would seem the same thing. A theoretical big risk....
The key is he's 35 and his body is beaten up from years of pro wrestling. While he does train in fighting disciplines, he doesn't have the competition background at a high level in any fighting sport. That is very old to start out in unless you want to compete at the beginners level. It's also hard to say if he goes against someone legit and loses, how it would affect him for a WWE return, either with the fans, or with management. And I'm not sure exactly what kind of challenge he'd be up for."
Basically, Punk is in the driving seat here. If he wants to fight professionally, then it'll happen. If he just wants to take a complete break from the spotlight and the rigours of performing, then it won't. As always, we'll see what transpires and keep you informed about it as the news breaks, Cagesiders.

Though I still think the most likely trade back scenario for the Panthers would involve QB Ryan Tanneyhill and the Seahawks or Cheifs a second scenario could actually be a repeat from 2007. I'm drawing this possibility from ESPN's AFC East blogger who says the Jets might be willing to trade up with the Dolphins for RB Trent Richardson
Team No. 2: New York Jets
Analysis: Would the Dolphins do business with a division rival? That's tough but not completely foreign if it helps both teams. Richardson once again is the focal point. If he falls to No. 8, that increases the value of Miami's pick. The Jets don't have a huge need at running back. But the team will run the ball a lot next season, and Richardson would be perfect for New York's "ground and pound" offense. A pairing of Richardson and Shonn Greene would take a lot of pressure off quarterback Mark Sanchez. Would the Dolphins help the Jets' offense, led by former Miami head coach Tony Sparano, get back on track? Miami could probably get New York's No. 16 pick, a second-rounder and a later pick in return.
I can't see the Dolphins dealing with the Jets in any fashion but I guess its fun to postulate. More likely in my view if Tanneyhill is gone at #9 for the Panthers (maybe Dolphins trade back with Chiefs or Seahawks for Tenneyhill) and Richardson is on the board maybe the Jets try to beat the Bengals to it.
A trade back with the Jets to #16 would be very similar to the draft day trade these two teams orchestrated in 2007 that is to date one of the best trades in franchise history:
Jets received #14 overall in which they took CB Derrell Revis
Panthers received #25 and #59 in which they drafted LN Jon Beason and C Ryan Kalil.
In a 2012 version the Panthers would get the #16 and #48 for their #9 which would seem like a pretty good deal. In this scenario I see the Panthers going with a pass rusher at #16 and BPA at #48, hopefully a CB if they didn't already get one at #40. Would you welcome this trade Panther fans? Do you think the Jets would want Ricardson enough to trade up?

Second half much the same as the first, with Barcelona controlling possession and Getafe struggling badly to get out of their half. Bojan has added a second goal following good work from Lionel Messi who dribbled across the area before laying the ball off to the young striker, who cut inside and let fly, the ball taking a cruel deflection which wrong-footed Codina. No-one can really expect Getafe to score two here, so that's surely game over.
And there has been another bad decision from Muñoz Fernandez, who has turned down yet another penalty for Barcelona, this time Lionel Messi on the wrong end of a bad decision from the ref. Needless to say Pep Guardiola isn't too impressed on the touchline. Bojan has been taken off after his goal, to warm applause from the home crowd who recognise the solid shift completed by the youngster.
In the absence of Puyol and Abidal, it has to be said Gabby Milito has slotted into the back four with minmal fuss, a massive boost to Guardiola, who is struggling for centre-backs at the moment.

CONWAY (KATV) – Conway Police arrested 29-year-old Ashley
Burch Tuesday after a six-year-old girl in her care was taken to the hospital Monday
with 2nd degree burns on her stomach and legs.
Officials said the girl told hospital personnel that she got
the burns after falling in a ditch on the way home from school. But the child
later told them Burch, the woman she called mom, poured boiling hot water on her
as punishment. Burch denies these allegations.
Burch is not the child's mother

She faces two felony counts
including first degree domestic battery and endangering the welfare of a minor.
She is being held in the Faulkner County Detention Center without bond.

He passed away last night due to kidney failure, according to Climbing.com I've climbed many of his routes. I'll have to go climb some more in tribute. It seemed like he was everywhere. Layton Kor is Dead
RIP. I can't wait to do more of his routes in the future...he will live on through his climbs.
The world just got slightly less badass.
Wow! Truly sad news, but a life well lived, indeed.
Layton Kor is one of my few climbing heroes, he was one of the true spiritual fathers of traditional climbing. His boldness and spirit for adventure were inspiring to say the least. A sad day to know he passed, but uplifting to remember who he was. RIP.
Hindsight. I was offered the opportunity a couple of times to hang out with "the man" and I foolishly did not MAKE the time to pull it off and now really, really, regret it. Sincerest CONDOLENCES to the Family, Partners, and Friends of Layton Kor. To me, the GREATEST of the GREATS in the climbing world!
A legend to so many of us, he came to Los Alamos in the late 60s and Kor's Crack at Potrillo Cliffs was one of my favorite routes growing up.
Very sad news, but a life well lived. Should be a lesson for us all. I have had the pleasure of climbing many of the routes he put up. What amazing vision. Nothing but respect and gratitude for such an amazing person.
The last of the early BAD ASSES. In explaining to a colleague who he was my most successful attempt was to say, "Take any Chuck Norris joke you know and insert Laton Kor's name, a climber will laugh." The fitting response he then gave was, "I get it, he was a card carrying Bad Ass!" From what I gather from friends lucky enough to spend time with Laton, even towards the end, he was a man who definitely lived his entire life and didn't simply let it happen to him. The climbing world will be forever changed. We are all circling the drain. Act Accordingly. Much Love, Wyatt
What a great life he lived! Though it is sad that he is gone, climbers everywhere should celebrate his life! RIP Mr. Kor!
Very sad indeed. From the article it appears his last days were filled with pain. May his Spirit now be carried with the wind. R.I.P Layton Kor
So sorry to hear of his passing, he inspired so many, none more than those of us who started in trad, you wanted to be bold and put up FA.I have a treasured copy of "Beyond The Vertical" which chronicled the many areas in which he climbed, it seemed he was everywhere at once, a mythical figure now and for always, my condolences to his many friends and family.
Started climbing in 1976 and he inspired so many of us at that time.
Simply said, the man had Vision, with a capital V and then the steel balls to make good on those visions.
Anytime you were going to do a Kor route...you knew you have better bring your A game! It was not going to be a gimmie. Rest in peace. We have lost one of the greats.
We are losing all the greats of 50's-60's climbing history lately..So sad to see another one gone,,a legend, a real hero to many.
There must have been a route God couldn't climb up there - so he called Layton home. RIP
Peace and respect to you sir. -Jon
His Spirit Lives On!
R.I.P. Layton, what a legend. I have only climbed a few of his routes, they are all classic! Thanks for your pioneering adventures, stud.
Layton passed away with significant medical, funeral, and other expenses. Friends of Layton's have set up a website for donations in Layton's memory to help Layton's wife, Karen Kor, with those expenses. The website address is: www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/support-for-layton-kor>>> All donations go straight to Karen with no intermediaries and no fees. Please give generously and spread the word!

Okay, let's get the jokes about happy endings out of the way already! This is a romantic marriage proposal. If you're the kind of couple who prefers intimate occasions to big attention-getting displays of affection, you can still have a surprise and a memorable proposal story.
Set the scene for a romantic and sensual massage using oils, soft rugs – even a roaring fire if you've got a fireplace available. Use all of your love to give an amazing massage, but save the left hand for last. Once you've gotten your sweetie relaxed and happy, slip the engagement ring on and be ready to pop the question!
Pros of this marriage proposal idea: It will definitely be a surprise. It's intimate and sensual.
Cons of this marriage proposal idea: If you get your sweetheart too relaxed, you might have to wake him or her up before proposing!

At Stone, it's common to see lengthy beer monikers as long and winding as the 17-year road that's taken us from the little industrial suite beer-makers that could (though many, back then, didn't share such an encouraging opinion of our start-up) to the tenth largest craft brewing company in the United States of Ale-merica. We revel in challenging the number of alpha-numeric characters and volume of verbiage a brown glass receptacle can hold. Heck, if we hadn't switched to 22-ounce bombers for our annual collaboration series, our Drew Curtis/Wil Wheaton/Greg Koch Stone Farking Wheaton w00tstout Ale Brewed with Pecans, Wheat & Rye with One Quarter Aged in Bourbon Barrels might have incited bouts of stress-induced agony among our Art Department savants. To give them a break, we honed in on a much shorter name for this year's anniversary beer, but fear not, though briefer, it will still provide the fun type of challenge fans have come to expect. Our vehicle for accomplishing that in five words or less—sprechen die Deutsch. Try pronouncing this one—Stone 17th Anniversary Götterdämmerung IPA—then watch our beer video and feel a whole lot better about your linguistic capabilities as you watch Stone Brewmaster Mitch Steele stumble his way through five syllables of German diaeresis-bred intricacy.

The w00tstout Artistic Trifecta
Bottle art is serious business at Stone. Great beer without great packaging would be like presenting filet mignon and lobster on a trashcan lid. Fortunately, we have incredible artists on our team, plus writers (and a CEO) to pen short novels on the backs of our bottles, all of whom are Worthy of the beers whose virtues they promote. These individuals are more than capable, but when it came time to develop designs for a beer released in connection with celebrities and around the same time as San Diego's annual Comic-Con—Drew Curtis/Wil Wheaton/Greg Koch Stone Farking Wheaton w00tstout—we decided to go above and beyond, crafting three unique bottles that have become collector's items among beer fans, thanks to three gifted and diverse artists.
What the w00t?: Drew Curtis/Wil Wheaton/Greg Koch Stone Farking Wheaton w00tstout
In a March post on the Stone Blog, we shared the news that three unlikely collaborators would embark on a brewing odyssey on our system. That trio was comprised of actor and champion of proud geekery Wil Wheaton, creator of the alternative news website Fark.com Drew Curtis, and our own CEO and Co-founder Greg Koch (admittedly, he bleeds Arrogant Bastard Ale, but seldom mashes in). Back then, the beer they would brew was still a mystery, but with that flavorful concoction now bottled and debuting on store shelves July 15, we're ready to tell you all about Drew Curtis/Wil Wheaton/Greg Koch Stone Farking Wheaton w00tstout!
Stone's Next Two Collaboration Beers
A beautifully sunny day, 400 people, 30 unique beers on tap and unlimited pours—what might sound like the foundation for a ruckus affair of over-indulgence and belligerence was anything but. In fact, it was one of the tamest event days in the history of Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens. That's what happens when you pack the joint with homebrewers and genuine craft beer connoisseurs united in their noble mission to not only taste, but evaluate the merits of each beer for the purpose of selecting a champion to grace store shelves nationwide. Enter Stone's fifth annual AHA Rally and Homebrew Competition.

Exclusive: "If You're Thinking About Marrying This Woman, Check Her Mama Out First"
Thursday, Apr 19, 2012 5:30PM
[In light of the upcoming Think Like a Man flick dropping this Friday, SOHH's asking your favorite Hollywood stars and hip-hop celebrities for some relationship advice. Today, Hollywood veteran John Witherspoon gives some certified grown man dating tips.]
John Witherspoon says...
When you're out on a date with someone, you have to see her personality. That personality is just a reflection of herself. So you have to be careful when you're looking at that.
The reason I say look at the personality closely is because if you end up marrying her, it's going to be worse. I bet you she could go home and her mama might be doing the same d*mn thing. Watch out for her saying "me" and "I" too much because her mama is doing the same d*mn thing.
Looking after the date, something you really have to consider is if you're thinking about marrying this woman, you've got to go and check her mama out first. You don't even think about proposing until you've seen her mama.
You can't go proposing to her until you've seen her mama. Her mama might end up being crazy and then her daughter's going to be crazy. That means you're going to end up marrying that. The last thing you want to do is marry a woman that's only saying, "I'm", "I'm" and "I'm." Shoot, I'm old.
Don't worry about the in-laws though if you're in love with the woman. You're not marrying them. So if you're OK with the woman you're marrying but can't get along with the in-laws, just move out of town. They may not like you but with you marrying their daughter, they think you're marrying the whole family.
When you have that kind of trouble, you might just have to pack up and head on out to Chicago.
Have your own opinion on the opposite sex? Let us know via Twitter (@sohh @sohhdotcom) by tweeting #sohhtypicalofawoman or #sohhtypicalofaman and get entered for a chance to win movie tickets to "Think Like A Man" premiering this Friday, April 20.
Be sure to check in tomorrow when a reality television star and Memphis rap star wrap things up with some final dating tips.

Not sure if this has been touched upon, but with the current talent at LB and on the D-Line would it make sense for us to transition to a 4-3 defense.
I thought about this because of our need to get a true 3-4 nose tackle and the lack of depth at that position in this years draft. The one player who truly fits the requirements for a 3-4 NT seems to be Dontari Poe. After his combine performance there's a good chance that he won't be available when we pick. Taking that into consideration along with the talent we have at LB would it make sense to deploy a 4-3 this year? I think we have the talent to be an extremely effective 4-3. Now we would need depth at DE but maybe that could be addressed through the draft. I could see Ziiggy, McLendon, and Hampton rotating at DT and Keisel and Heyward at DE, again depth needed at DE. At LB we would have Woodley, and Harrison on the outside and Timmons manning the middle. I know this may be blasphemy, but I believe we could make this work and work extremely well. Thoughts?

METAIRIE, La. ― Sean Payton could go without the next 24 hours.
You could say the same for Chris Reis, Pierson Prioleau and Jason McKie.
But the fact of the matter is this – the NFL mandates teams to cut rosters from 75 players to 53 by 3 p.m. Saturday.
"That's the hardest part of the calendar year, the last week of preseason games where you have your final roster cut down," Payton said. "That never gets easier or you never get used to that. I think it's always one of the tough things about this job."
Reis has been with the Saints every year since he left Georgia Tech and hasn't been cut. But he knows he's a career "bubble" player and he enjoys that role.
Still, he doesn't hit the final week counting roster spots.
"I try to go out and do the best I can and let the coaches make that decision," said Reis, a special teams standout during his time with the Saints.
McKie, meanwhile, already has been cut by the Saints. But they brought him back when Marcus Mailei was waived/reserve injured.
He takes the approach that just because a player is cut doesn't necessarily mean he isn't worthy of playing in the league.
"It just means there wasn't a spot for you on that certain team," McKie said. "That's why you have to go out there and perform on the field and another team will look at you and maybe pick you up."
And then there's Prioleau, who has made a career of finding ways to stick around.
"It's nerve-wracking," he said. "All you can control is what you do when you're on the field. It's an unfortunate part of the business that everyone cant make the team because everyone is putting in everything they've got to try and be a part of this team so this team can get better so we can win games and possibly win a Super Bowl."

I don't need to tell anyone reading this that MMA is a violent sport. In violent sports, people will get hurt (hell, it even happens in nonviolent ones too). In any contact sport, keeping athletes safe is paramount. Injuries will happen, but it is extremely necessary to take precautions to keep the competitors healthy and in the cage, on the field, or wherever their particular sport is contested.
Those of you that fall the National Football League know that they are in the midst of a number of lawsuits due to major problems in regards to concussions. Ex NFL players have shown a shockingly high suicide rate, and new data available shows that many of these guys had suffered head trauma that eventually destroyed their ability to function.
I know there are quite a few crossover MMA fans that follow pro wrestling, and they have had a lot of the same problems. I'm sure a lot of you remember the tragic events surrounding the end of Chris Benoit's life, where he killed his wife and son, before taking his own life. Immediately the media jumped on the story of roid rage, though the scan of Benoit's brain showed that their assumption was far from the whole story, and might be completely wrong. I am NOT trying to defend what Chris Benoit did here, at all. But to say that there were not other extenuating circumstances would also be inaccurate.
From Wikipedia's page on the murder-suicide:
Tests were conducted on Benoit's brain by Julian Bailes, the head of neurosurgery at West Virginia University, and results showed that "Benoit's brain was so severely damaged it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient."[21] Tests conducted on Benoit's brain tissue revealed he did in fact suffer from severe chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE),[22] and had brain damage in all four lobes of the brain and brain stem.[23] Bailes and his colleagues concluded that repeated concussions can lead to dementia, which can contribute to severe behavioral problems.
Now, you might be asking, what does any of this have to do with MMA? If you watched Bellator 78 last night, you already know the answer. Everyone watching was treated to a sickening display of watching a clearly unconscious Marius Zaromskis get blasted 10 times in the face while referee JERRY POE stood in perfect position and watched. I do not fault Andrey Koreshkov for continuing his attack until stopped by the official. That is his job. Jerry Poe's was to keep both fighters safe in the cage. He failed miserably in that regard. If you think I might be exaggerating, see it for yourself:
Seriously, what the hell is Jerry Poe doing? He made sure to get just the right angle to watch, but he wasn't in any hurry to put a stop to it. My eight year old nephew could have made a better stoppage, and he has never been in a fight in his life. The highlight of Poe's effort here has to be his diving tackle at the end. He dives onto Koreshkov like he is making a quick heroic save, literally an instant after allowing the onslaught to occur.
If this was the first time it had happened, this article would be about the negligence of one official that made an atrocious mistake. But this isn't even the first time we have seen this in Bellator. Fans still cringe at the thought of the merciless slaughter of Joe Warren at the hands of Pat Curran. In case you somehow forgot, here you go.
*All gifs done by the sorcerer known only as Zombie Prophet
In this case, the official doing his best to see 5 years beaten off the back end of Joe Warren's life was JEFF MALOTT. Everyone in their right mind said that the stoppage was embarrassingly late, except the people that have the authority to do something about it. From MMA Junkie:
Commission director Andy Means declined to comment on the performance of Jeff Malott, who as referee waved the bout off at the 1:25 mark of the third round after Warren slumped to the canvas.
As usual, the athletic commissions have nothing bad to say about any official, ever. Was Malott fired for this incident? Of course not. On September 6, he refereed 8 fights on the HFC 11 card in Indiana, under the same commission that presided over the Warren/Curran debacle.
Other sports have laid out the evidence with regards to the dangers of massive head trauma. If MMA wants to continue to grow and thrive, then it needs to learn from the lessons of others. Precautionary steps need to be put in place BEFORE permanent damage is done to fighters, and this means getting rid of officials that don't know when to stop a fight. The commissions hold all the power in this regard, and they have nothing to say. I'm afraid that just like the NFL and pro wrestling, MMA is going to wait too long to give serious thought to fighter safety, and it will suffer serious tragedy as a result.
The good news is it is not too late. MMA has data on brain injuries that older sports didn't, and their mistakes don't have to be repeated. To all athletic commissions: Think about Chris Benoit. Think about Junior Seau. I beg of you, do what is needed to save the fighters of MMA from a similar fate. Guys will inevitably get hurt and damaged, but incompetent officials can get a fighter killed. You, and only you, can prevent that.
Hit up the comments if you have anything to say.

CHICAGO — A.J. Pierzynski received a friendly heads up from former Chicago White Sox teammate Mark Buehrle upon making his first trip back to U.S. Cellular Field: Turn right.Buerhle, now with Toronto, took a turn toward the home clubhouse in June as he returned to his longtime ballpark. Pierzynski went straight to the visitors clubhouse on Friday as the Texas Rangers opened a three-game series against the White Sox.I was making sure I didnt make the same mistake, Pierzynski said.Pierzynski was also warned by Buerhle that it would be an emotional weekend, and Pierzynski spoke at length about the relationship he had with the White Sox, who chose not to re-sign him last winter after eight seasons.He won a World Series in 2005, his first season, and that was featured during a pregame video tribute to him that was played before the game.This was home for a long time, Pierzynski said. The World Series is No. 1. No one can ever take that away from that group of guys.Alex Rios was also back at U.S. Cellular only 15 days after being traded to the Rangers. Hes batting .273 with three RBIs in 44 at-bats since the trade.Ive helped a little bit, but I havent helped to the extent of my abilities, Rios said. I can bring more stuff to the table, but Im still very positive and optimistic of getting better results.Neal Cotts returned, too, though he had done it previously and makes his home in the Chicago area.Jason Frasor played briefly with the White Sox in 2011, and Matt Garza, Geovany Soto and Jeff Baker are former Cubs.Its special for them to come back here, too, Pierzynski said.Darvish gaining steam?August is typically the month when players have to battle through fatigue and find a second wind for the stretch run. Yu Darvish, though, claims to be an exception.The right-hander, who starts Saturday for the Rangers, said that he starts to reach his physical peak in August. Based on the small sample size so far in his big-league career, its hard to argue. He is 8-2 with a 3.20 ERA in 14 August and September starts, including 3-0 with a 2.15 ERA in four starts this month.Even in Japan, I had many seasons where I was just getting warmed up in August and I was feeling really well toward the end, Darvish said. Physically and mentally, I feel fine.But he balked when asked if the best was yet to come this season.Ask me that again at the end of this month, Darvish said.Garza trade finishedDouble A right-hander Neil Ramirez was shipped to the Cubs to complete the trade for pitcher Matt Garza, who was dealt to the Rangers on July 22. Third baseman Mike Olt and righties Justin Grimm and C.J. Edwards were also in the package.Ramirez, 24, went 9-3 with a 3.84 ERA for Frisco this season but has never panned out since being selected 44th overall in the 2007 draft. Ramirez will be out of contract options next season.Briefly• Adam Rosales made his first start since joining the Rangers, as their designated hitter and batting ninth. He had only two at-bats between three waiver claims this month. I think Im as ready as I can be, he said. Were major-league baseball players. We should be able to make adjustments pretty quickly.• Right-hander Neftali Feliz will pitch again for Triple A Round Rock this weekend after working a scoreless inning Thursday. He needed only nine pitches and worked at 89 to 93 mph.• Alexi Ogando (nerve inflammation) will being playing long-toss this weekend. Manager Ron Washington said that there has been no discussion about his role when he returns. Our concern is getting him healthy, Washington said.

Fire damages historic Forest Grove home
FOREST GROVE, Ore. – Firefighters are battling a two-alarm house fire in Forest Grove Wednesday morning.
The fire started just before 6:30 a.m. at a two-story house in the 2100 block of 17th Avenue.
Crews called for more resources with a second alarm after they arrived.
Forest Grove Fire spokesman Matt Johnston told KATU that the cold weather made fighting the fire difficult for crews at the scene, so they called for more firefighters.
Johnston said the house was cluttered inside.
The home was built in 1872, according to Forest Grove Fire. It was built with older construction techniques that allowed the fire to spread easily through the walls.
It took 45 minutes for firefighters to knock down the fire. It's unclear what caused the fire.
The homeowner told KATU no one was inside during the fire, but she's worried about her two cats.

7 Wonders of the Ancient World > Zeus Statue
The Athenian sculptor Pheidias (Phidias) is considered the greatest of the classical sculptors, so in 440 B.C., when it was decided that Zeus should preside via statue at the Olympic games, at Olympia*, those responsible for honoring the king of the gods commissioned Pheidias. The enormous ivory and gold-covered statue of Zeus that Pheidias crafted sat in a Doric temple built c. 450 B.C. by the architect Libon.
Even in a sitting position, the statue of Zeus was forty feet high. The god's head was so close to the top of the temple it looked as though he would lift the roof if he stood up. Pausanias, a major travel writer who lived in the second century A.D., gives us a valuable look at the statue when he ways of it,
"On his head is a sculpted wreath of olive sprays. In his right hand he holds a figure of Victory made from ivory and gold... In his left hand, he holds a sceptre inlaid with every kind of metal, with an eagle perched on the sceptre. His sandals are made of gold, as is his robe. His garments are carved with animals and with lilies. The throne is decorated with gold, precious stones, ebony, and ivory."
[URL = <http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/zeus.html>]
You'd think it would be hard to dispose of such a large statue quietly, but we don't know what happened to it. It may have been destroyed in a temple fire.

In the month of October I avoid wearing the black and orange combo. I just think it's to cliche and makes me look like a walking talking pumpkin. I like pumpkins, I just don't want to look like one. But once Halloween passes I jump at the chance to wear one of my favorite color combos.
I am a big fan of it. In the winter months I wear a lot of black, so its fun to add a punch of color, orange is the perfect popping shade.
If you add it to your outfit in the form of coat, a print, a hat or under a leather jacket, it will make you stand out in the sea of black in the winter crowd.

WELCH (WVVA) - Two students were hospitalized Wednesday evening following an altercation at Mount View High School in which one was stabbed with a pocket knife.
The incident occurred in the parking lot of the school Wednesday afternoon. Both students were taken to Welch Community Hospital following the fight -- one with at least one stab wound. Both were in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries and were expected to be released overnight.
Police are not saying what started the fight or the names of the subjects involved. Charges are pending.
McDowell County Schools Superintendent Jim Brown confirmed to WVVA a 'physical altercation' occurred between two students, but did not disclose any further details, citing confidentiality.
Students at the high school and nearby middle school were placed on lockdown following the incident, delaying their dismissal.
Brown commended the staff at the school and responding law enforcement officials for their handling of the situation.
WVVA will have further information as this story develops.

You could soon pay more for beer at MetraPark.
Commissioner John Ostlund says the Billings Breakfast Exchange Club and MetraPark Advisory Board presented a proposal to increase the cost by a dollar for draft beer and beer in aluminum cans. 50 cents of that increase would be earmarked for a co-promote fund.
MetraPark has traditionally been for rent only, but this year commissioners began looking at the possibility of co-promoting concerts with show promoters.
Commissioners will vote on the beer increase at their regular meeting tomorrow. If it passes, the increase would take effect immediately.

A quick look at some fanposts will show you that there are 2 WRs in the late 1st round that people seem to like, Harvin and Nicks. So lets take a look at the two of them.
Percy Harvin Hakeem Nicks
5' 11 1/8'' Height 6' 0 3/4''
192 Weight 212
4.41 40 Time 4.5
9 3/8in Hand Size 10 1/2in
19 Bench Press DNP
IMO, there isn't a big difference between them when you look at these numbers. Not quite 2in difference in height, .1 sec difference in the 40, barley an inch difference in hand size, and 20 lbs difference in weight. All of these seem pretty negligible. Even the highlight reels, there isn't much difference. However, there are a couple of things that stand out to me:
Harvin Highlights - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE-4-bzH9WI
Nicks Highlights - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_aMQ2R7dYQ
- with Harvin's injury history, I thought he would be the type to shy away from hits. Not so. He lowers his sholders and delivers hits at full speed. Most seem so shocked that he hit them, that they forget to tackle him and Harvin just pulls away.
- I will admit that a lot of the Harvin highlights show him taking a hand off or pitch from the QB, but there are quite a bit of him catching the ball and making plays down the field. More consistently than Nicks, Harvin seems to outrun the people on the field.
- Hicks has amazing hands. He looks really good plucking the ball out of the air and getting extra yards after the catch.
- Hicks is tough to bring down too. He tends to get caught from behind (even saw linebackers catching up to and trying to tackle him), but it isn't easy to drop him on the first hit.
- Each guy has a highlight from games against South Carolina, the main difference in the highlights, Harvin takes his to the house in traffic and Hicks gets caught.
I would be happy if either were picked up by the Vikings, but I am going to go with Harvin. Nicks is great, but his tape looks just like Sidney Rice and there is no one on the roster that compares to Harvin. Rice didn't get to play much last year, but he is still young and has shown that he can be a big target and possession WR when healthy. Rice is also 4" taller than Nicks, but again, they seem to have the same abilities and Harvin would add something new.

May 26, 1991
Third and Adams streets corner, seen here in the early 1900s, was occupied by produce stands from 1873 to 1893, when the Borough of South Bethlehem erected a three-story structure. The market was on the first floor, a police lock-up in the basement, borough offices on the second floor and public meeting rooms on the third. The market remained until the late 1960s, when the building was sold. Vacant until 1970, the building was demolished a few years later.

Attendance Is Down At 1999 City Market * Christkindlmarkt Organizers Hope Extra Weekend Will Help.
by SUSAN RUIZ PATTON, The Morning Call
December 13, 1999
Fueled by the euphoria of Christkindlmarkt's high attendance and profit in 1998, organizers chose to capitalize on it by adding a weekend to the traditionally three-weekend holiday market. But as the fourth and final weekend approaches, it's beginning to look a lot like they'll need those extra days to beat last year's boom. Attendance has been slightly lower than last year, and no records have been broken yet. Sign-ups of craftmakers for the fourth weekend was slower than for the first three of Christkindlmarkt.

A bag of horse entrails was discovered Friday behind the Little Apple Market at Seventh and Tilghman streets in Allentown.

Chief Deputy Coroner Paul Zondlo said the parts were identified as a horse's internal organs. Allentown Assistant Police Chief Ron Manescu said a store surveillance video shows a person getting out of a vehicle and dumping a plastic bag with the organs under a trailer in the rear of the store at about 5:30 a.m. Police were called to the store at 10:30 a.m. Police are reviewing the video footage to try to identify the person and vehicle, Manescu said.

Two 18-year-old Easton men who participated in a 1997 armed robbery at a city market were given substantial prison terms Wednesday by Northampton County Judge Robert E. Simpson Jr. Even though they did not have the gun, Kareem Abdul Jabbar Thompson and Levar Terrell Cook received just as much time, and in one case more, than the five to 10 years given to Keith Williams, who held the gun to the head of store owner Jagroop Singh. Because Thompson and Cook were accomplices, they were treated as equally responsible for Williams' actions.

New Plan For 3rd & Adams Local Developer To Build Several Stores On City Lot
by THOMAS KUPPER, The Morning Call
March 1, 1994
There's a new plan for a vacant South Bethlehem lot that the city has tried unsuccessfully to develop for nearly 30 years, since the Police Department shut its headquarters there. The city plans to sell the lot at 3rd and Adams streets to a local developer who would build several stores on it, city Business Administrator Robert Wilkins said. He would not identify the developer. "We don't have anything signed at this point," Wilkins said, "but it is imminent." The new plan appears similar to one that fell through two years ago. At that time, city officials said they'd lined up a buyer who would develop a major drugstore franchise and several smaller stores.

Two face charges in four more cigarette burglaries
The Morning Call
December 15, 2005
Easton police filed additional burglary charges Wednesday against a Glendon man and an Easton woman who police believe were involved in smash-and-grab burglaries that netted thousands of dollars worth of cigarettes from stores throughout the region.

The House of Dance and Feathers
The House of Dance and Feathers honors the cultural traditions of the Mardi Gras Indians and Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs of New Orleans, with an emphasis on the social and cultural history of the Lower Ninth Ward. The museum began as a backyard shed, barber shop and gathering place for family and friends, and as a personal archive of cultural objects and photographs, that served to anchor conversations with young people about their community, culture, and history. This archive has grown considerably since the museums inception and now includes many hundreds of photographs, many hours of video footage, and a substantial collection of objects and artifacts.
Ronald W. Lewis is the founder, curator and director of the House of Dance and Feathers. After many years of working on the city's streetcar track as a worker and union rep, he has devoted himself to cultural activism and education. After the flood, Ronald partnered with the Tulane City Center and Project Locus to plan the rebuilding of the backyard museum. In a wide-reaching collaboration, that pulled in architects, students and volunteers from all over the United States, the new museum was designed and built in the Summer of 2006. The participants labored in the long Louisiana summer, and the physical signs of construction in progress on Tupelo Street attracted the attention of out of town visitors, as well as displaced New Orleanians returning to tour their own home town. As was Ronald Lewis' intention, the rebuilding of the museum on Tupelo Street contributed to the voices calling for neighbors to come home.
Since 2006, the museum has become an important gathering place for scholars, activists, students, neighbors, and volunteers to talk about the history and culture of the Lower Nine, and to discuss the rebuilding of New Orleans. The museum has also hosted numerous meetings, workshops, and gatherings for people who are working to make things happen in New Orleans. Visitors to the House of Dance and Feathers experience the power of self-representation and the value of cultural exchange. Mr. Lewis is currently working with Rachel Breunlin and the Neighborhood Story Project to produce a museum catalogue. In his museum tours and public talks, Mr. Lewis speaks eloquently about the social significance of place, family, and cultural traditions in community-building, and he has been an outspoken advocate for a resident-led rebuilding of the Lower Ninth Ward.
