Tucson is changing the way they look at attracting visitors to the city, and it has launched a new campaign that targets a younger traveler.
The tag line for the campaign is 'Free Yourself' and it is really trying to resonate and connect with young, active adults from 25 to 54. This is a different spin from the city's former campaign that focused on marketing to visitors 55 and older.
Visit Tucson officials call the 55 and older audience its 'sweet spot', but research recently shows that a younger audience is what is needed.
According to Allison Cooper, the Vice President of Marketing for Visit Tucson the idea is to bring in younger people and show them what the city has in terms of outdoor recreation – like cycling and hiking. There seems to be an untapped market for these type of tourists in Southern Arizona, where the tourism is a $3 billion dollar industry. Tucson gets seven million visitors every year, with winter being the high or peak season.
To show how pumped Visit Tucson is about this new campaign, it has been running an ad in the U.S. Airways Magazine since December.

The federal Act is not authorized by the United States Constitution and violates the Constitution's true meaning and intent as expressed by the founders of this country and the ratifiers of the Constitution.The bill takes things a step further, making it a crime for any official, agent, or employee of the United States or an employee of any corporation to enforce any part of the health care act in Texas, and imposes fines up to $5,000 and/or five years in prison for anyone convicted of doing so.
The federal Act:
(1) is invalid in this state;
(2) is not recognized by this state;
(3) is specifically rejected by this state; and
(4) is null and void and of no effect in this state.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a president in the White House who referred to Americans who disagree with him as 'our enemies.' Think about that. He actually used that word. When Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush used the word 'enemy,' they reserved it for global terrorists and foreign dictators -- enemies of the United States. Enemies of freedom. Enemies of our country. Today, sadly, we have president who uses the word 'enemy' for fellow Americans -- fellow citizens. He uses it for people who disagree with his agenda of bigger government -- people speaking out for a smaller, more accountable government that respects freedom and allows small businesses to create jobs. Mr. President, there's a word for people who have the audacity to speak up in defense of freedom, the Constitution, and the values of limited government that made our country great. We don't call them 'enemies.' We call them 'patriots.'"
- House Republican Leader John Boehner

The U.S. jobless rate, currently at 7.7 percent, remains elevated by historical standards. But it has fallen sharply from a peak of 10 percent in October 2009. However, that decline could soon grind to a halt, according to a recent paper from the San Francisco Federal Reserve.
Its authors argue that, because the slow but steady decline in the jobless rate has been in part due to slippage in the labor participation rate that is more a product of the business cycle than long-run demographic trends, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics presumes.
In January, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics significantly reduced its projections for medium-term labor force participation. The revision implies that recent participation declines have largely been due to long-term trends rather than business-cycle effects. However, as the economy recovers, some discouraged workers may return to the labor force, boosting participation beyond the Bureau's forecast. Given current job creation rates, if workers who want a job but are not actively looking join the labor force, the unemployment rate could stop falling in the short term.
The rate of labor force participation has slid to its lowest level in 30 years.
This means that, just as years of weak consumer spending are expected to produce some amount of pent-up demand, so too could a prolonged period of high unemployment and underemployment unleash a new burst of entrants into the job market. That would ultimately be a positive sign – but the data may not look pretty.

A teary-eyed Maynard Jarvis looked on
as New York State Police searched his son's house and property on White Street
in Chateaugay, looking for any clue into his disappearance.
"I would really like to know what
is going on," Maynard Jarvis said.
Dale Jarvis, 48, was last seen in late
February. His family never reported him missing because they had no indication
he may be in danger.
"I'm not prepared to discuss the
circumstances of the last encounter," N.Y. State Police Maj. Richard Smith
Police were made aware of Jarvis'
disappearance three weeks ago when a confidential informant came forward.
"That information has led us to
what we are doing here now on this property," Smith said.
Neighbors weren't concerned either.
Jarvis' son DJ, who lives with him, gave them a reason for his dad's
"He said he got a job down
south," said Patricia Landry, who lives next door.
But police suspect that may not be
true. They're using cadaver dogs and carefully digging for evidence on the
"We are certainly looking for any
clues into the disappearance of Mr. Jarvis up to and including his body could
be located on this property," Smith said.
Police say the search of Jarvis' home
and three-acre property will continue for days.
"We are prepared to do whatever
we have to do to search that entire parcel, three acres, to include digging and
sifting the ground for any clues," Smith said.
For now, Maynard Jarvis can only watch
as police search his son's property. He hopes for answers soon.
"I hope we hear something,"
he said, "not bad."
A family holding out hope that Dale
Jarvis may still be alive.
Anyone with information about what might
have happened to Dale Jarvis is asked to call the New York State Police.

NILES, Ohio - Nearly 8,000 kids in Ohio were living in foster care last year and a local agency says it is always looking for more people to open up their homes to these children, many of whom have been abused.
Homes for Kids works with the state to match local kids in the foster care system with qualified families.
Thursday evening the nonprofit hosted a question and answer session for prospective foster parents.
It comes at a time over the holidays when many adults and children are thinking about family.
"If they're not with their families, they miss them, they want to be with them. So I think sometimes it is harder around the holidays and so we try to give them that caring, supportive family atmosphere to help them get through those hard times," said Karen Hinely, a recruiter/trainer with Homes For Kids.
The agency says foster parents need to be 21-years-old, have a strong support system to enable them to handle stress and crisis situations, and be a resident of Ohio.
For more information contact Hinely at firstname.lastname@example.com or call her at 330-544-8005 ext. 413.

Lawyer sued for 'fake nun' comment wins appellate ruling that court can't decide religious issue
Posted Apr 11, 2013 8:42 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Updated: A Chicago-based federal appeals court has ruled on behalf of a lawyer seeking to prove the truth of his comment that a woman was a "fake nun."
Sued for defamation, Indiana lawyer Kevin McCarthy produced a statement by the Holy See's diplomatic mission to the United States that the plaintiff, Patricia Fuller, is no longer a nun nor a religious sister. In a ruling by Judge Richard Posner, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held on Wednesday that, once a court satisfies itself that there is an authoritative church ruling on whether Fuller is a nun, it cannot question the resolution. The Associated Press has a story on the decision, noted by the Volokh Conspiracy and How Appealing.
Fuller had countersued McCarthy for defamation after he sued her in a dispute over the ownership of religious memorabilia related to an "Our Lady of America" apparition.
"The origins of the litigation go back to 1956," Posner wrote, when Sister Mary Ephrem "experienced a series of apparitions of the Virgin Mary, in the course of which Mary had told Sister Ephrem (according to the latter's report): 'I am Our Lady of America.' " Sister Ephrem later formed a congregation with Fuller and another sister dedicated to promoting devotions to Our Lady of America, and later willed all of her property to Fuller.
McCarthy and another man, Albert Langsenkamp, had worked with Fuller beginning in 2005 to help her with devotions to Our Lady of America, but a bitter disagreement in 2007 led to the 2008 suit. After the disagreement, Langsenkamp set up the Langsenkamp Family Apostolate in the Indiana city where the Virgin Mary was said to have appeared to Sister Ephrem. "Vigorously seconded and assisted by McCarthy, Langsenkamp claims to be the authentic promoter of devotions to Our Lady of America and to be entitled to possession of the documents and artifacts," according to the opinion.
The original suit by McCarthy and Langsenkamp claimed conversion of physical and intellectual property, fraud and defamation. Fuller's counterclaim alleged defamation over the fake nun comment, and also claimed that the men had stolen a statue of Our Lady of America and a website of the Our Lady of America Center.
McCarthy argues that Sister Ephrem had taken a vow of poverty, didn't own the disputed property, and could not have bequeathed it to Fuller.
A lower court judge had said the issue of whether Fuller was a nun could be decided by a jury. The case came before the 7th Circuit on an interlocutory appeal of that issue.
Posner referred to the Bible and the Constitution in explaining why the church ruling governs. "The commingling of religious and secular justice would violate not only the injunction in Matthew 22:21 to 'render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's,' but also the First Amendment, which forbids the government to make religious judgments," the ruling says.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin launched a public safety initiative Tuesday that brings several stakeholders together to study and address the state's crowded prisons and crime rates.
The Pew Center on the States will provide funding for the project. The U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance will lead the study. The department recently conducted a similar project in Texas, where the prison population was rapidly growing.
"In Texas, they were getting ready to build billion dollars' worth of penitentiaries," West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals Chief Justice Menis Ketchum said Tuesday. "As a result of the studies, they actually closed two of them."
Tomblin said the state must act to address the problem, but "we cannot do it alone."
"We must start at the beginning," he said.
Tomblin said nearly 7,000 people are incarcerated in West Virginia right now, and about 1,800 Division of Corrections inmates currently are held in regional jail facilities because there is not enough room.
"Our prison population is growing, and our violent crime rate is increasing," Tomblin said. "We have a choice to make: continue on this path, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on top of what we're already appropriating in hopes that it has more of an impact on crime than it has to date, or use data to determine if there is a way to spend less and have a bigger impact on crime."
The prison population has increased about 5.7 percent each year from 2000 to 2009.
"That growth rate makes it nearly three and a half times higher than the national average and one of the fastest growing prison populations in the U.S.," Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, said in a news release. "We need to find out why we're such an outlier and to think about how to reverse the trend of prison population growth."
Kessler named Sen. Mark Wills, D-Mercer, to head the Senate delegation to the working group along with Sen. Bill Laird, D-Fayette, and Mike Hall, R-Putnam.
House Speaker Rick Thompson said Tuesday he's glad the group will focus on how to keep West Virginians safe while relieving the stress on the state's facilities.
"Hopefully this initiative will identify strategies to connect offenders with the services they need so that they don't continue to cycle through our courtrooms and correctional facilities," Thompson said.
Delegate Tim Miley, D-Harrison, Delegate Harry Keith White, D-Mingo and a Republican representative will participate in the project along with the Taylor County prosecuting attorney's office, the public defender's office, the West Virginia Association of Counties and other stakeholders.
Steve Canterbury, administrator of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, said this study will help objectively look at several sources of data.
"It takes all three branches and both parties working together to enhance public safety so someone doesn't cycle through the system," he said. "Recidivism is a waste of taxpayer money because the problem should have been solved the first time."
Tomblin said he expected the group to have policy solutions ready in time for the start of the 2013 regular Legislative session.
The "justice reinvestment" approach has been used in more than two dozen states including Kentucky, according to information from Tomblin's office. The study in Kentucky resulted in policies that are projected to save taxpayers $422 million during the next 10 years, according to Tomblin's news release.

Digital Archiving in the 21st Century! (or at least in the early part of it...)
When our program began not-so-long-ago in 1996-- I doubt very much that those involved could have conceived of the changes-- and new sets of challenges-- that technology would deliver in ten years' time. A comprehensive history of what the program looked like in the beginning, and how it grew at first can be read here, but we'll give a condensed version for you now.
The vision of those who developed our digitization program was wide-- and sharp. Namely, a gentleman Agostino "Augie" Mastroguiseppe was the man that spearheaded the concept of taking DPL's historical photographs into the digital realm. As WH/G's Curator of Photographs, he became extremely passionate about the possibilities of wider access to, and preservation of our treasured collections.
It was largely through Augie's efforts that the project moved forward and led to DPL winning awards from Boettcher Foundation, National Endowment for the Humanities, and the State Historical Fund of Colorado. There were additional, concurrently implemented grants from U.S. Department of Commerce Telecommunications and Information Infrastructure Assistance Program, Library of Congress/Ameritech, Bruce and Virginia Rockwell, Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, and what was once known as the Colorado Digitization Project.
It was through this wide array of funding that DPL became an institution at the forefront of generating access to collections through digital presentation. While terms such as 'spearheading' and 'trailblazing' may sound adventurous and romantic-- they aren't without pitfalls and treachery. At the inception of digitization, the equipment was extremely expensive, and the resulting digital captures, while fascinating indeed-- weren't exactly impressive by today's standards.
Storage of digital files appeared to be an almost impracticable expense. Construction and maintenance of computer servers was daunting. Lab PCs lacked processing power, and imaging software was just beginning to grow legs. In the WH/G Imaging Services Lab, a large overhead view camera which employed a BetterLight digital scanning back had been constructed. It was state-of the-art technology developed by Kodak engineers and packaged within this new tech-- a scanner--mounted to a camera? Whoa!
The irony of having a camera capable of imaging large maps and artwork and other unorthodox size formats meant that it could generate files bigger than the computers of the day could deal with. This could be illustrated by comparing it to driving a Ferrari-- but the speed limit everywhere is 25 MPH.
Today-- the digital world of megapixels and terabytes, fractal geometry and hi-definition are the norm. Photographic imagery, and visual, virtual information is ubiquitous. iPhones and iPads can capture more pixels with color fidelity and can process them faster than the iMacs of yore and with more storage and algorithmic punch available than even desktop PCs had just a few years ago.
Any institution beginning to build a capture lab for generating a digital archive right this minute would be better off than we ever were. Even the simplest and most inexpensive flatbed scanner and bottom-end PC can generate higher quality images than were created by us in the beginning. As time passed and technology improved, DPL was losing ground with regard capture production capability, and with an extreme need for a better digital asset management system to facilitate web delivery, ease of cataloging, and for long-term archival storage on a continually refreshed, redundant server.
A few years ago, the development plan for bringing us up to new standards was put into motion. A team of staff members began a vetting process for a digital asset management and archive vendors. After much deliberation, planning and problem solving we chose ContentDM, which is a product of OCLC, which also provided the subscription to their archive services. This, in a nutshell, is our institutional equivalent of the "cloud" that has become the safeguard for nearly all computer users these days, and allows us to bring WH/G's Digital Collections to our customers.
We also began the search for new capture capabilities, since the BetterLight scanning back/large format camera combo was an endangered species about to become extinct. During our research into modern capture options, I personally became smitten with the product and services offered by Digital Transitions, Inc. Having met with their representatives in June of 2010 and through a hands-on demo, I knew that this was the course we must take in order to maintain and even surpass the quality levels we'd become accustomed to. The only thing standing between the lab and a new camera system was the serious need for investment capital-- which brings up a small, but very significant factoid regarding the Imaging Services Lab. Even though we are housed within the Central Library amid the manuscript collections and architectural drawings and models we have-- our lab is nearly autonomous. Our staff members' salaries and equipment and materials costs are paid from trusts sustained only through our sales of printed and digital reproductions of our items. We're grateful for the citizens whose tax dollars keep the electricity, heat and AC running in the lab, but all else requires great effort-- combined with fiscal responsibility and generous donations when they happen to arrive at our door.
Such was the case with the purchase of the DT RCam setup. Wes Brown, a lifelong fan and customer of DPL made a paramount contribution that set the project in motion. Through the efforts that followed, our Manager Jim Kroll was able to procure the rest of the funds through assets and investment holdings from other trusts owned by the department. In February, we installed the unit and began lightning fast, razor sharp and exquisite color reproduction and are now prepared to deliver absolutely superior digital renditions of our prized photographic and art collections.
Where the previous rig would take minutes to capture an item, that same item could now be rendered as a superior digital archive file in 1/8th of a second. We are all extremely excited to once again be at the cutting edge of image capture technology. And, we are proud to belong to the community of renowned institutions across the globe bringing their collections to the world via the best tools out there. (for a while at least, and hopefully a long while.)
For now, back to work-- and we'll be bringing you more fantastic images soon-- stay tuned!
Congratulations on your
Congratulations on your innovations and your enthusiasm for continuing to make the resources of the Western History/Genealogy Dept. accessible, accurate, and useable! And thanks to all the early supporters of the early cataloging, digitizing and promoting of these amazing and inimitable resources! The beauty of making resources available, whether through words, images or virtual data, is that the creators can't possibly dream of how, or where, future library users, students, historians, or researchers world-wide will use that raw data. And continue the ages-old vision and mission of public libraries to serve and enhance the lives of all who seek free and unbiased information. Thanks you all for your continuing commitment to serving known and unknown seekers of truth and a better future. You, too, will neither imagine nor know how your enhancement of the data of the WHG automated resources will be incorporated into the continuing challenge of professional librarians. Thank you for embracing the continuum of preserving and honoring the past with your contributions to the unexpected wonders of future library service and users! Kudos!

Mods done to my WRX
Up until now I have done modest upgrades to my car. I think the form and function are about 50/50. Here is a list of what I have…so far:
2005 Subaru Impreza WRX 4EAT, Platinum Silver Metallic
- SPT intake
- STi Intercooler
- HKS Super Sequential Blow Off Valve 3
- APS Turbo Back exhaust
- Cobb AccessPort 2
- Custom tune performed by Jorge @ P&L Motorsports
- H&R Street coil over suspension
- Defi gauges (Exhaust temp, Oil temp and Turbo) and D-Link
- ATI housing for gauges where clock used to be
- STi hood and scoop
- STi front bumper with splitters
- V-Limited front lip (reproduction) (not installed at the moment)
- Rally Armor mud flaps (not installed at the moment)
- 18x8 et.+42 Tenzo-R DC-6 matte black rims. (not installed at the moment)
- 18x9 et.+35 Volk GT-C gunmetal rims. (not installed at the moment)
This spring I am hoping to have the Volk's refinished and painted a custom color. I also hope to have an aftermarket up-pipe and a retune. Then tinted windows and new stereo system and I will be good until next year. =]
Right now I am in winter mode, although I did not raise the car. I actually got stuck in the snow for the first time. I guess I got a bit over confident with the all-wheel drive system.

Tom Daley named Hottest Hunk 2013
Tom Daley has beaten David Beckham to be named Hottest Hunk of 2013.
The British Olympic diver topped the annual poll by Heat magazine, beating the soccer player – last year's champion – into third place behind hulky actor Channing Tatum.
The 18-year-old – who is currently giving celebrities diving lessons on TV show 'Splash' – said: 'It's surreal because I just do diving because I love doing it. For people to vote for me like this is great and I want to say a big thank you to everyone who voted.'
Tom gained huge support from across the UK when he appeared at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, and won a Bronze medal in the 10-metre Platform diving, but finds it hard to think of himself as a sex symbol.
He added: 'I don't think of myself as a hunk. I just think of myself as a normal person who still goes to school, who still has to train 30 hours a week and who just gets on with life.'
Heat's editor Lucie Cave added: 'I'm delighted that the official hottest man on planet earth is not only British but also wears Speedos for a living. heat readers have once again shown that they have faultless taste.'
Other stars to make the top ten included One Direction star Harry Styles, who came sixth, beating bandmate Zayn Malik, who was at eighth, as well as housewife's favourite Olly Murs, in ninth position.
Heat Magazine's Hottest Hunks 2013, top ten:
1.Tom Daley
2. Channing Tatum
3. David Beckham
4. Zac Efron
5. Ryan Gosling
6. Harry Styles
7. Taylor Lautner
8. Zayn Malik
9. Olly Murs
10. Johnny Depp

High School Finalists on Holocaust Essay Contest Visit ALMA
Prizes Awarded for Best Essays
On Wednesday, June 27, ten high school finalists from all over the country along with five teachers and two representatives from Facing History and Ourselves paid an organized visit to ALMA. Two representatives from the international law firm of Holland & Knight LLP also accompanied them. They were all involved in the annual Holocaust Essay Contest of that law firm, which this year was programmed by its Boston office.
Although they made their visit to ALMA in order to see the permanent Armenian Genocide Exhibit and the Ukrainian Genocide Exhibit, they feasted on viewing ALMA's other exhibits of artifacts and as well as the mounted 'Who are the Armenians' exhibit. To the delight of many, they were able to see and get a taste of artifacts representing 3,000 years of Armenian culture. They were amazed to learn that Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity and the many references to Armenia in the pre-Christian era by Greek scholars. Some had never heard of the Armenian Genocide. Eagerly, they asked for various explanations, which were provided by ALMA's curator Gary Lind-Sinanian, Berj Chekijian, acting director and Haig Der Manuelian, Chairman of the Board as well as a senior partner of Holland & Knight.
Two students were so impressed that they asked why Armenian history was not being taught in high schools of America. Others were amazed to learn that over 35 emperors of the Byzantine Empire were of Armenian blood and that one of them, a woman, was the chief executive officer of that vast empire for almost two years. Representatives from Facing History and Ourselves spontaneously commented on ALMA's rich collection. Although they had been there before, they were amazed at what a warm, rich, and beautiful place ALMA is.
The finalists were treated to various other sights in the Boston area as well as further classroom instruction. The final prize winners were announced at a banquet at the John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse in Boston. ALMA's Chairman, Der Manuelian, also participated in a program the following day, Thursday, June 28, at the Boston Public Library as part of a four member panel dealing with issues involving the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide and the Rwandan Genocide.
Four students were awarded monetary prizes for essays describing their visit to ALMA.
The first prize was awarded to Kendall Jones from the Capital High School (Boise, ID); two second prizes went to Anissa Lee from the Winsor School (Wellesley, MA) and Daniela Hernandez-Fujigaki from the Clarksburg High School (Clarksburg, MD). Third prize went to Brian Hula from the Mother of Divine Grace High School (Bellevue, NE).

ALMA is grateful to both Facing History and Ourselves, and Holland & Knight for recognizing the importance a visit to the Armenian Library and Museum of America would have on the lives of these young students.

Chael Sonnen – The Most Interesting Man In The World.
Got to love this guy, still think Anderson is gonna destroy him though.
youll be destroyed one day
Make no mistake, Chael Sonnen will beat Anderson come Saturday. I can't wait for the discussions to come afterwards.
Great post! Can't wait to see this fight live next week.
Some things he says are funny. Some things he says are kind of sad. Like "undefeted, undisputed." Dude's been tapped more times than Tito Ortiz' wife.
^^^^HAHAHA Clever!
Fail Sonnen-The Most DELUSIONAL Man In The World!
I can't wait for this fight!! It will definitely answer the question on if Anderson was injured or not. All I can say is that after watching that fight like ten times I seen Anderson taking hits and allowing Chael to take him down. Yes I'm saying it looked like it was a fixed fight at certain moments. But then when I seen Chael cracking Anderson's skull I was like no it can't be. All I know is that Chael can't finish Anderson bc he couldn't do it the last fight. So if Anderson was really injured in that first fight he will definitely destroy Chael. But as we all know Chael is probably better than before so this is going to be an interesting fight. I'm going with Anderson bc from what I seen in that last fight he was definitely not himself for whatever reason it may be. No elite striker or wrestler was able to touch him and then you have a guy like Chael who is mediocre at best in standup able to land at will and daze him??? Something really stinks about that last fight!!!
Chael Sonnen, the biggest real life troll in the world! Please kill urself when you lose u crack head.
yeah, Chael beat Anderson good that first fight, he hit him more than Tito's wife has been hit…but i suspect Anderson will pull a Jose Aldo and treat Chael the way Jose treated Chad Mendes….and the result will likely be the same..Brazil wins again
The triangle choke comment is absolutely ridiculous. He shouldn't even bring it up out of embarrassment having lost to it so many times.
Gay jokes Chael? Really? You're a WRESTLER.
rugburn took the words right off my keyboard, my thoughts exactly. maybe all the s*** talk got to Silva? I don't know, but he was not himself last time
Be careful anderson last time Chael kicked your Ass for 4rnds,just imagine what Jon Jones would do to you? he already Destroyed Shogun,your next anderson,but you dont have the Balls to fight him.
This Saturday, first fatality in UFC.
A cheater and liar and a loser…whats so interesting.
He eats roids for breakfast lunch and dinner… He is the most…
Chael will kick the s*** out of chicken legs and everyone here will say it's the roids, no matter what he does he can't win!
I'll agree that Sonnen has pillow hands, but I'm also pretty sure that Anderson's chin is unsmashable. Either way I'm pretty pumped that we get to see both fighters guaranteed to engage. F***, they should let them both use TRT just so we see a finish.
chael isnt the same without the roids
can't wait to see the fight! I hope chael doesn't leave if or most likely lose after the fight!
He has said many disrespectful things, but he sure is very entertaining!
sonnen fans smoke crack!
Greatest self-promotor in the sport. No question about it, this guy is full of it for one reason – promotion. It will be interesting to see how he orchestrates his comeback if he looses.
Just watched the last fight again, and guess whose blood was all over the octagon? It was all chaels blood from the elbows to the head anderson delivered. It is also a lie that he was on his back the whole fight, there was good elbow to the the face in round 3. I dont think anderson was injured though, he just said that because he was embarrased that he didnt train enough or something. I think this time anderson is going to kick the s*** out of him, poor bastard
More steroid comments? Saying Sonnen abused steroids is almost like saying that he abused bananas. Go watch the commission hearing. Or simply look at pictures of him through his career,then go look at an Overeem timeline. He kinda sucks, and is a liar and criminal, but do some research before believing all the media hype bullshit about "steroids".
the most interesting man in the world?? LOL … i didnt' even watch this video. got crybaby sonnens name on it and i knew it was shitz.
I say Anderson by TKO in the third. Near stoppage at the end of the second round.
my opinion is Sonnen will be knock out cold and probably don't know where he is or why he is there. But! then again Sonnen is the best in the house and on top of his game, so Anderson better come in prepared.
if you just step back and realize Chael is just putting on a show, you would appreciate him for the comedic showman that he has become…makes me laugh almost every time…great video
(oh, and there was not a hint of feminine michael jackson dancing like in some other fighter videos)

Shimmer, Smile & Sparkle Award
I was happy to see Cameron Diaz arrive late on the red carpet at the 2010 Oscars, because the red carpet was clear and I could get a good look at her gown.
She was positively radiant in her Oscar de la Renta Fall 2010 gown. She really brought the Hollywood glamour to the red carpet.
The champagne tulle Oscar de la Renta gown was covered with gold paillette embroidery and was simply breath-taking.
Her gown was stunning so she didn't need to add much bling, just confidence, the side swept hair and that beautiful smile.
What did occur to me was that Rachel Zoe's girls are both wearing strapless ballgowns.

DALLAS -- It's cheap, easy to buy, and sold over the counter, but it is also highly addictive and dangerous.
"We don't know what they are putting into these synthetic drugs," said Dr. James d'Etienne of Baylor Medical Center.
And that's the problem.
People are buying and smoking K2, a synthetic drug that is supposed to mimic marijuana. Within the last 24 hours, more than 30 people overdosed on it in Dallas and had to be hospitalized. Twenty went to Baylor Medical Center and 10 went to Parkland.
"Several of them came in with similar symptoms of psychosis, altered mental status, abnormal behavior -- ranged from very sedated to an agitated state," Dr. d'Etienne said.
The patients, who ranged from teenagers to people in their mid-50s, were so sick, some had to be sedated and others had to be watched to keep them from hurting themselves.
K2 can cause people to act crazy. A former user, who asked we not use his name, told News 8, "I would describe the withdrawal from K2 like night sweats [and] waking up with overwhelming anxiety."
In this rash of overdoses, everyone was treated and released and there were no deaths, but increasingly, K2 is difficult to regulate because the manufacturers keep changing the formula and ingredients. Experts say they are making it more addictive and deadly.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday met in Cairo for the
first time with newly elected Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi.
The talks
focused on the latest developments in the region and Egyptian efforts to end the
Fatah-Hamas dispute, a PA official in Ramallah said. Abbas briefed Mursi on US
pressure on the PA to resume stalled peace talks, the official
During the meeting, Abbas reiterated his demand for a freeze of
settlement construction and Israeli recognition of the pre-1967 lines as the
basis for a two-state solution, the official told The Jerusalem
Abbas told reporters following the meeting that he also updated the
Egyptian president on the severe financial crisis in the PA. The PA leader said
that the $100 million that Saudi Arabia transferred to the PA last week helped
ease the crisis.
Referring to the ongoing dispute with Hamas, Abbas said
that efforts to form a unity government were hindered earlier this month when
the Hamas government decided to suspend the registration of voters in the Gaza
Strip. The Palestinian Elections Commission began registering voters in
preparation for new presidential and parliamentary elections before its work was
stopped by the Hamas government. Hamas justified the decision by arguing that
the PA leadership was not serious about achieving reconciliation and was
planning to steal the vote.
Abbas said that Egypt had great interest in
ending the Fatah-Hamas dispute because the whole Palestinian issue was linked to
Egypt's national security.
Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal also arrived
Wednesday in Cairo for talks with Mursi on ways of ending the dispute with
Hamas sources said that Mashaal was scheduled to meet with Mursi
on Thursday.
The sources said they did not know if Mashaal and Abbas
would also meet during their stay in Cairo.
