Sleep Patterns
By Professor Francesco Cappuccio, Warwick Medical School
In the second article of our series 'The Impact of Data on Body and Mind', Professor Francesco Cappuccio, Warwick Medical School, explains how modern society has been digitally enabled to work and play 24/7, and the effect that this has on our sleep patterns.
Throughout our life we spend approximately a third of our time asleep. We spend more time asleep as babies and children and then settle for a pattern that is of approximately 7 to 8 hours per night. Although subjective sleep duration remains fairly constant with age, sleep patterns indicate that total sleeping time, sleep efficiency, and deep sleep decline, and waking after sleep onset increases as we get older. Sufficient sleep is necessary for optimal daytime performance and well-being, yet there is a large difference in how much sleep people report, ranging from <6 hours to >9 hours per night. The epidemiology of sleep duration indicates that a good night's sleep equates to at least 6 hours of continuous sleep, with changes in sleep duration or continuity being associated with negative impacts on health.
...it is estimated that over the next 20 years, the number of Americans suffering from sleep disorders will double.
Sleep disturbances and sleep deprivation are common in modern society. Most studies show that since the beginning of the century, populations have been subjected to a steady constant decline in the number of hours devoted to sleep, due to changes in a variety of environmental and social conditions (e.g. less dependence on daylight for most activities, extended shift work, 24/7 round-the-clock activities). The detrimental effects to health of sustained sleep deprivation and disruption were first acknowledged by industry (like airlines, long-distance driving, shift-work manufacturing industry, and emergency services). Only recently, however, has the wider implication for the population at large been unveiled. Through the application of epidemiological methods of investigation, short duration of sleep has been associated with a variety of chronic conditions and poor health outcomes, detectable across the entire lifespan, from childhood to adulthood to older age, most noticeably an increase in obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, coronary heart disease and mortality.
As the world population increases and individuals become larger, the number suffering from sleep disorders will increase. In the United States, it is estimated that over the next 20 years, the number of Americans suffering from sleep disorders will double. However, the public awareness of the need for adequate sleep both for adults and children and the awareness of sleep-related conditions are poor. Moreover, the physicians who treat them receive minimal training in sleep disorders medicine. In fact, they themselves are forced to endure excessive work schedules during their internship and residency training, which desensitizes them to sleep as a fundamental biological necessity, degrades their ability to provide quality patient care and to benefit fully from their training experience, and places them at increased risk of ill-health, injuries, and sleep-related motor vehicle accidents during their training. These difficult, and often conflicting, interests need to be addressed so that the medical field can provide an optimal platform for learning and patient care.
The public awareness of the importance of sleep, the need for good sleep hygiene and awareness of sleep disorders in general is poor in both adults and children. Various professional bodies worldwide are attempting to redress the balance. In the UK education system, for example, children are taught about the importance of diet and exercise but sleep education is rarely addressed. Poor sleep habits in early life may have long-term consequences for health.
These issues bring the results of the epidemiology of sleep outside the clinical setting and well within the domain of public health. One of the main questions still to answer is whether in these circumstances, sleep disturbances are the consequence of ill-health, are intermediate markers in the pathways of disease causation, or whether changes in sleep patterns can be causal in the determination of chronic disease and, more generally, ill-health. At the same time, the deleterious effects of shift work, like risk of self-harm and harm to others (e.g. medical errors, road accidents, attentional failures in high risk occupations), which are by and large mediated by excessive sleepiness and fatigue caused by sleep debt, have recently benefited from stronger evidence from randomized clinical trials and are now informing policy changes.
Francesco Cappuccio moved to Warwick in July 2005 to take up the newly established Cephalon Chair in Cardiovascular Medicine & Epidemiology. He is a cardiovascular physician, a clinical epidemiologist and a public health expert. After his medical degree in Naples, he moved to Britain where he trained at Charing Cross Hospital, St George's Hospital Medical School and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in London. In 2000 he became Professor of Clinical Epidemiology & Primary Care at St George's, University of London.
His main interests are in the prevention, detection and management of hypertension and its complications of the heart, brain, kidneys and the circulation. His research interests are the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease, nutrition and health, metabolic abnormalities and cardiovascular risk, risk in ethnic minorities, both in developed and developing countries.
Franco heads up a multi-disciplinary research group with a number of research objectives: to develop and establish a programme of national and international cardiovascular epidemiology, to develop and establish a significant national and international programme of research into Sleep, Health and Society, to facilitate clinical research into sleep disorders, to assist the development of undergraduate and postgraduate education into sleep medicine and its impact on health and society.

Sun Lakes fire crews had a tough time putting out a blaze in the southeast valley. The flames were so intense that the Chandler Fire Department showed up to help.
This happened near Alma School and Hunt Highway Sunday night.
Neighbors say it took the crews even longer to put of the fire because there were no hydrants nearby.
"I came out here.. there must've been about eight fire trucks.. and then the flames burst up.. we couldn't see any water coming.. so it looks like they had to go around the corner to find a fire hydrant," said Kathleen Taylor.
At this point, the cause of the fire is not known.

Using a programmable thermostat with a heat pump
We live in NC and have a heat pump for our heating/cooling. I can't seem to find a clear answer on whether or not using my programmable thermostat will save energy. If I set the temperature back at night during the winter, the emergency heat comes on in the morning when the temp is ramping back up to it's normal setting. This really makes the meter spin! Are there programmable thermostats made specifically for heat pumps that would avoid this problem?
Posted Tue, 01/07/2014 - 16:14
It depends a lot on the particular heat pump you have.
If you heat pump is oversized and 1-2 stages rather than a continuously variable/modulating version (you'll know if this is you), using a programmable set back will save in energy and wear & tear...
...unless it has resistance electric elements to back up the heat pump in heating mode. Which sounds like YOUR situation.
If by "emergency heat" you mean it has electric elements that kick in on long recovery ramps, you would be much better off with a "set & forget" strategy. Even when it's 25F outside the heat pump is at least twice as efficient as the electric elements. With all else being equal you might save 5-8% on the overall heating energy use with a set-back strategy, but if even 1/4 of the recovery ramp heating is from the resistance heaters, you'll be using more energy going that route.
If it's possible to turn off the resistance elements (or put it on a switch, for use during actual emergencies, such as when the heat pump portion needs repair) a set back strategy can save energy use, but you will have longer recovery ramps. Using a "smart" thermostat that "learns" your system, the length of the recovery ramp doesn't much matter- the thermostat figures out when to start the recovery ramp based on recent system behavior during the same part of the day. The smart-phone lovers seem partial to the Nest smart-thermostat (https://nest.com/ ), but there are other smart-thermostats out there- some wi-fi capable, others not. None can control the resistance elements directly, but many heat pumps can be modified to work without the internal resistance heating.
With any ducted-air heating system sealing every duct seam and register boot with duct mastic, and caulking between the boot and sub-floor/wall-board/ceiling gypsum is a good place to increase system efficiency, so long as the ducts are correctly sized for the coils and air handlers. (A duct undersized for the air conditioning can end up with frost-bound coils if the ducts leak. The right solution in those cases is to size both the ducts and HVAC units correctly, but that can be an expensive proposition as a retrofit where it was screwed up on day-1). In heating mode you don't have that issue, so go ahead and seal up the ducts now- if it causes cooling season issues there are better and more efficient work-arounds than simply letting the ducts leak randomly.
Posted Tue, 01/07/2014 - 16:53
A lot of better thermostats have a setting to tell the thermostat that it is a heatpump - which help with control.
Also with the electric heat you could take it off the HP control - and add some standalone control very easy. Just need to wire the control signal through a low limit type control switch aquastat or freezestat. (Dynacon FS-33 for example) Depending on the circuitry a fan proving airflow switch might also be recommended (Cleveland Controls AFS-222 or similar)
Posted Wed, 01/08/2014 - 15:32
I believe that Dana provided some great advice.
We operated our HP just as Dana described with the emergency resistance elements disabled and with an adaptive thermostat.
Posted Wed, 01/08/2014 - 20:19
I suppose if you just disabled the elec heater; you could re-enable it anytime you are going to be out of town for a long period of time for emergency backup heat.
Posted Thu, 01/09/2014 - 10:04
I'd like to clarify some misinformation here. Maybe I'm just somehow misreading Dana's post (he usually makes good points) when he wrote "None can control the resistance elements directly". Actually, all thermostats compatible with heat pumps control the resistance heating elements directly (there is a terminal and wire that controls them)..
If the thermostat isn't very smart, then setback can be a bad idea for heat pumps for the reasons already pointed out. But there are a variety of approaches that smarter thermostats use to recover without using the resistance heat and so energy savings can be captured. Some thermostats also include a control to shut off the resistance elements entirely above a certain outdoor temperature (using either an outdoor temperature sensor or internet weather service) and separate "strip heat cut-out" controls are available to perform this function for units without the feature. This control can save energy by avoiding the use of resistance elements caused by small changes in set point during milder weather (many thermostats will turn on the resistance heat any time the set point is 2F greater than the current temperature).
Posted Thu, 01/09/2014 - 12:46
Thanks for the clarification Michael!
I don't get to deal with old-school heat pumps very often in my neck of the woods. Back in the mid '80s, in the Pacific Northwest was the last time & dealt with disabling the resistance elements on one of those, and the resistance heaters were definitely NOT under the direct control of the available thermostats of the time. I s'pose in the intervening 25+ years things might have changed... just a little bit? :-) Mea culpa!
Posted Thu, 01/09/2014 - 12:56
Hi Rob, I live in Central NC and have found that the best approach here is to set back one degree for every two hours you're away in the daytime and set back 1-2 degrees at most at bedtime. That way, recovery in the warmer late afternoon/evening shouldn't kick in the resistance heaters, unlike in the early morning when it is coldest.

'Jacks 2008 Preview: Relief Pitching
Feb. 7, 2008
NACOGDOCHES, Texas - With an experienced set of starters ready to hit the ground running in 2008, head coach Donnie Watson will also have plenty of options to call on when he dips into the Lumberjack bullpen.
Junior Richard Folmer is back for what is hopefully a repeat performance of the close of his sophomore campaign. Folmer, a closer extraordinaire according to Watson, used his fastball/slider combination to the tune of a 0.45 ERA in his final 13 appearances of 2007, only allowing one earned run in 20 innings of work during that stretch.
He showed his stability in the final series of the year, pitching three straight days in SFA's final three-game series of the regular season against Sam Houston and picking up the save in the final game to send SFA to the Southland Conference Tournament.
Along with Folmer, Erik Gregersen and Heath Konesheck will be part of a pack of 'Jacks that includes Vince Wade, Bruce Mayberry, Travis Harrelson and Jonathan Gutierrez that will be vying for innings throughout the season
After two years of seeing time at both pitcher and in the field, Watson says that Wade is finally ready to pitch and at times can be absolutely dominating. An atypical delivery along with the ability to throw three pitches for strikes is sure to make Wade someone that sees a significant jump in appearances from his first two seasons.
Watson is confident in Gutierrez and feels as though he will have plenty of chances to eat up some of the middle innings and that his breaking pitches could even provide the opportunity to see duty as a closer, while Mayberry will be instrumental in the overall depth of the staff as he enters his senior season.
Harrelson, a 6-foot redshirt freshman with a slider that Watson is very high on, will provide another closing option.
"Travis is a 90-mile-an-hour kid with a big-time slider that is really going to have the chance to help us out this season," Watson said.
A youngster who Watson thinks is the next exceptional up-and-coming pitcher on the SFA roster is Jared West. Jeremy Tamez also could see opportunity on the mound come his way, as could Alex Moshier and Angel Hernandez.
Moshier, a freshman from Nederland, Texas, will see playing time not only as a pitcher but also as a catcher, while Hernandez provides another left-handed arm for the bullpen in addition to being able to play the outfield.
The 'Jacks open up the season Feb. 22 in Edinburg, Texas, at the UT-Pan American Tournament against Texas State. They will follow that up with games against UTPA and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi before taking part in the Baylor Tournament the following week.

So I usually make it out to Arrowhead once or twice a year when a friend is nice enough to extend an invitation. During the Marty and Vermeil eras, the place, as you all know, was rocking. But over the past few seasons, the crowd has been pretty lame — not that loud, and also heading for the exits in the late third/early fourth quarter to "avoid traffic." Lame. Clearly, the Chiefs losing record is going to have an impact on the level of excitement in the stadium, but I feel like we, as Chiefs fans, may be overly impressed with ourselves and how great "we" are as fans. Even when Green Bay sucked, they were ALWAYS sold out and the place wasn't half empty at the end of the third quarter.
So my question is this: have the ticket prices caused the true die hards to flee? Or were we simply riding an extended bandwagon phenomena through the winning years that falsely led us to assume that our fans are better than they actually are?

Bastrop County's Lost Pines Habitat Conservation Plan (LPHCP) provides grants to private landowners for habitat enhancement projects. The grants are made possible by mitigation fees collected for residential and commercial construction within the plan area. Grants are based on a reimbursement cost-share program, with a minimum 50% landowner match.
Criteria for projects eligible to receive available funding include:
- The project must provide an overall net benefit to the Houston toad;
- The project cannot be part of any required mitigation for incidental take authorized by another habitat conservation plan or other natural resources restitution activity;
- The landowner must be a part of a conservation or management agreement with the LPHCP or other sponsoring agency or organization to ensure that the project is maintained or continued for ten years after completion of the project;
- The project must include measures that result in the creation, conservation, or enhancement of Houston toad habitat; and
- The landowner must allow LPHCP-contracted biologists and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel to access the project area and monitor Houston toad populations throughout the life of the agreement.
Activities Funded
Specific conservation actions that may be funded include, but aren't limited to:
- Brush and understory thinning to enhance the establishment of a native herbaceous layer.
- Grassland restoration through reestablishment and planting of native grasses and forbs.
- Activities which support or facilitate future prescribed fires, such as the establishment of firebreaks, removal of excess duff or woody fuel, or other activities which alleviate the potential for future wildfires.
- Restoration of loblolly pines and other native trees to re-establish canopy cover, species composition, and structure that characterizes high quality Houston toad habitat.
- Treatment of red imported fire ants where and when appropriate.
- Fencing to restrict and manage livestock access to potential breeding ponds.
Past Projects
Since 2009, the LPHCP has assisted landowners in the implementation of habitat improvements on over 500 acres throughout the plan area. Past projects have included:
- Reforestation of loblolly pines and oaks after the Wilderness Ridge Wildfire, and reforestation of land that had been converted to pasture for agricultural use
- Mechanical understory thinning to reduce the density of yaupon and eastern red cedar and encourage the growth of native grasses and forbs
- Installation of firebreaks in preparation for prescribed burns
How to Apply
The application process begins with a call, letter or email to the LPHCP Administrator with a general description of the proposed project. The description should include the habitat improvements proposed (e.g., reforestation, understory thinning), the acreage to be affected by the project, and, if possible, a rough estimate of the overall project cost.
Proposals are evaluated based on their location to known Houston toad populations and their ability to provide a benefit to the toad. If these considerations are generally equal among proposals, then priority is directed to those projects that link private lands to important large tracts, such as the Griffith League Ranch and Bastrop State Park, have multiple partners and the greatest cost-effectiveness.

New York - An auditing firm claims spending on the World Trade Center is out of control. The cost of the project has escalated by $4 billion over the last four years.
It's Friday night at about 11:15PM. Been up since 3:45 this morning. It's been a very long day, but I would do it all again in an instant. I had the honor and privilege of being invited after the show to go to Schoharie Elementary School to help kids write a song about the devastating floods. I'm so proud of what they came up with that I want to get this out tonight!
New York - Governor Cuomo sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano, Monday, asking for FEMA to cover 90-percent of recovery costs for Greene and Schoharie Counties.
You can't even imagine the work that lies ahead for these poor people in Schoharie County, and we want to do what we can here to publicize events whenever possible. There's an upcoming fire department benefit dance that I'd like to draw your attention to...
Hurricane Irene took it's toll on so many places around the Albany area and surrounding communities.
Price Chopper is providing free flu shots to Schoharie residents by their registered pharmacists.
First I would like to thank Jacqueline DeChiaro of Van Schaick Elementary School in Cohoes for kindly allowing me to change the schedule around to allow this, but I thought this needed to be done. Schoharie needs a pick me up after all of the flooding, so I am throwing the keyboard in the car and going this Friday!
It is!!! Just ask the kids! They'll break into song at any moment to tell you about it. And I was lucky enough to be there to capture it with my handy-dandy recorder.

When you design a Microsoft Office InfoPath form template that is based on a Microsoft Office Access (.mdb) or Microsoft Office Access 2007 (.accdb) database, the Data Connection Wizard creates a submit data connection to the database if the following conditions are met.
If the database meets these requirements, InfoPath creates the submit data connection and adds a Submit button to the Standard toolbar and a Submit command to the File menu on the form.
Note Secondary data connections cannot submit data to a database. If you want to use a submit data connection to a database as a secondary data connection, identify a Web service that works with the database, and then add a submit data connection to that Web service.
After you enable the submit data connection, you can customize the submit options for your form template in the following ways.
Top of Page
After you enable the submit data connection, InfoPath adds a Submit button to the Standard toolbar and a Submit command to the File menu. InfoPath also configures the forms that are based on this form template to display a message to users after they submit their completed forms. This message states whether the form was successfully submitted. By default, InfoPath also keeps the form open after a user submits it. To change the text that appears on the Submit button, as well as the behavior that occurs after users submit their forms, do the following:
To change the name of the Submit button that appears on the Standard toolbar and the Submit command that appears on the File menu when users fill out the form, type the new name in the Caption box in the Submit Options dialog box.
Tip If you want to assign a keyboard shortcut to this button and command, type an ampersand (&) before the character that you want to use as a keyboard shortcut. For example, to assign ALT+B as the keyboard shortcut for the Submit button and command, type Su&bmit.
By default, after users submit a form, InfoPath keeps the form open and displays a message to indicate if the form was successfully submitted. To change this default behavior, click Advanced, and then do one of the following:
Tip Use a message in the On failure box to tell users what to do if they cannot submit their form. For example, you can suggest that users save their form and contact someone for further instructions.

On Saturday, in a valiant attempt to beat the heat, we journeyed to the Coconino County Fairgrounds near Flagstaff for the Made in the Shade Beer Festival.
The drive took about two hours and was worth every minute. Accompanied by my old friend Cynthia (in town to visit her grandma) and my new friend Alan (a local Burner who was willing to act as tour guide), I managed to break my usual habit of sitting around the hotel room on my business trips and actually got out and explored. I should have some pictures to share once Alan and Cynthia get around to emailing them to me :-)

BJP today slammed the government for pricing telecom spectrum at Rs 14,000 crore which is 22 per cent lower than the TRAI recommendations and sought to know what prompted the Union Cabinet to take this decision.
"TRAI had recommended that even a hike of five paise per minute would help the service provider cover-up the so called legacy losses. What was the basis of the reduction to Rs 14,000 cr when TRAI had recommended the price of Rs 18,000 Cr," BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said.
He alleged that not even once has the government provided any justification for deciding this price which is 22 per cent lower than what was recommended by TRAI.
The Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, yesterday agreed to price 5 MHz of airwaves in the 1,800 Mhz band at the lower end of the Rs 14,000 crore to Rs 15,000 crore reserve price band suggested by a ministers' group.
Rudy said this new pricing, though low, proves Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal's earlier contention that there was "zero loss" in 2G spectrum allocation was wrong. "If it was zero loss than how come the government has decided on a price of Rs 14,000 crore," he said.

Megan Sharpton's family says they are living in fear for their lives.
It's been more than two months since the 24-year-old nursing student's badly beaten and burned body was discovered in rural Franklin County and her killer remains on the loose.
In the last few days, Sharpton's family says they have been approached and threatened by a person of interest in the case but no arrests have been made.
"The person of interest in this case lives in our town and has approached our family directly, has made comments to them and has made physical contact with them," said Kelly Sharpton, Megan's mother.
Sharpton told Nashville's News 2 the situation escalated last Friday at a Tullahoma High School football game when the person of interest confronted a family member at the stadium before a game.
"He knew what he was doing and was bold enough to say his name to her," Sharpton told Nashville's News 2, adding, "Everyone that's in this area is at risk, because he's not afraid of anything. He's dangerous."
Tullahoma Police Chief Paul Blackwell confirmed the incident, as well as another one, are under investigation.
The other incident occurred Tuesday afternoon at Sharpton's parent's home in Tullahoma. Police are looking into who vandalized their property.
Sharpton says they are still grieving Megan's death, and are now also afraid of what this person of interest may do.
"We're concerned about other girls," Sharpton said, "Our girl is gone forever, but he can be stopped and there is a district attorney that holds the key to making that happen and we hope that he'll hear us."
District Attorney J. Michael Taylor is in charge of prosecuting Megan's death. He did not return Nashville's News 2's request for comment.
In the meantime, Sharpton said their family continues to raise money for a reward fund through selling bracelets and t-shirts.
So far, the reward is up to $20,000. "She was really, really great girl. She was working really hard to finish school and change her life and she was almost there," said Sharpton, "Our lives will never be okay."

A little late, but worth (I hope) pointing you to even so, my reflection on the old practice of a special abstinence in Lent, Just Give It Up . It begins:
Our eldest, then about two years old, one day announced I want . . . but did not finish the sentence. My wife and I waited for her to tell us what she wanted to be picked up and rocked? a cup of milk? her stuffed bear? but again she said only I want and let her voice trail off. She said it a third time, still sounding equally unsure about what she wanted. And then, with a look of enlightenment on her face, said in a loud, firm voice, I want!
There, I thought, was the fallen human condition expressed. We are creatures of ravenous, indiscriminate desire. We want this and we want that, but most of all, We Want .
Hence the value of Lent . . .
Giving something up is a discipline I came to as an adult and only started because it seemed the sort of thing Christians were supposed to do, though personally I wasn't feeling it, and found doing so helped me a lot, as I explain in the article. It's something I'm now a little evangelical about.
And before the more-spiritual-than-you commenters jump in: yes, it is also crucial to pray more and give more alms, but that's not my subject. My subject is this part of the training program.
So just do it. You'll feel better. Well, okay, you'll probably feel worse, but then you'll feel better.

Ken Shamrock owes me $175,000. And I'm coming for it Ken; I'm coming for the fucking money you piece of shit. Ouch!!
See what love/worship of money does to people…..
Never mess with Baby Hitler!!!
Listen to me!
Go after this coke fiend sociopath by doing an adult film with his mom. It's the only way!
Classless as always. Willing to say anything to tear down anybody or to play to the public to distort the young crowds. and get the money.
its a power game to whoever this promoter is.
Don't give Ken any credit for anything Loser, you piece of sh*t.
Ken was fighting the best in the ring as a legend while you were scavenging up old poker chips to try and buy a fighting evolution that started before you told your first lie. you can never take credit for the legends. All you can take credit for is the t-shirts you printed and sold with fighters blood on and sold it you f#ing loser.
Ken was a warriar in the cage, true to himself.
But this is all very predictable Dana behavior. Power hungry, selfish, and selling/promoting. Hes the boss you never want. and if you compete with him you have to put it all on the line to kill him and there goes your lifes energy.
I'd gladly send ken a few dollars to take on this marketing bstrd and put him in his place.
I don't even want to say his name. I'd rather say Dannon yogurt, or don king. Ken I got ur back buddy.
The interaction reminds me of the movie Troy.
Brad pitt plays Achilles, who does all the winning.
The old king just wants to rake in the money and smash him for it.
manipulation, intimidation, domination
Hopefully Ken's new energy drink does well, cause, y'know, Dana's f****** coming for that f****** money, you f****** piece of f****** s***.
What a way to wake my day, thank ya Dana. lol.
Love the pic! LOL!
Wow, way too many DW haters and keyboard warriors. If I ran UFC, I'd be the same to these low life's like Ken. If these douche's just stfu from the beginning, they'd be where Chuck Liddell is right now… a part of the UFC. Instead these guys (2 Shamrocks, Ortiz, Page) among others, like to run their mouths and feel that nothing is good enough for them. It's a F'n company and you were employed by them, you didn't agree with the way its run… move on.
you guys are hater morons #1 ken wasn't fighting the legends of fighting LOL he was fighting people who had never trained a day in his life….people that were in the crowd kind of thing…a fat guy in the crowd would step in wearing jeans and shoes and ken would beat them ouuuu he fought the legends lol go watch WWE loser !
#2 Dana is the BOSS of the UFC and when your the BOSS you cant be a little bitch ! dana is the man he doesn't take s***!!
keyboard warrior bitches!dont even respond to me because I wont come back and read your responses because I don't care what you losers have to say ken shamrock is a loser and so are you
Wow, we don't really know the details here, but Dana coming out and blasting Ken like that just did make him relevant. In other words, don't try to compete with me or I will come after my attorney fees which you don't have, and destroy you. All of these big companies have year round lawyers that are employed by the company so it doesn't cost you any extra, I work with these lawyers.
Dana has never liked Ken. They have had problems with each other for over 10 years. Tito was at the root of their problems too.
Bruno: Fixed
Whoever is cool with dana acting like this over and over and over again have pea brains period. I'm not going to even try to explain to you fools because you don't have the mind power to understand. I can't wait until some fighter knocks dana's arrogant greedy ass out.
ken made lot's of money he just burned it all on coke and bitches and steroids F*** off ken
Ken really isn't the issue is he? It's that a head of a mainstream global fight organization represents himself as a thug and bully, a lowlife that will strong arm ppl. Even if that isn't the case in general, perception is reality. Bruno, your thoughts?
Ken was talking trash on a show i just watched. Ken also made a crack at dana with frank shamrock and couture on twitter…
I dont think Dana was very driven to go get his money until this recent trash talk of the ufc. I watched it and i understand it.
Actually Dana…..You're f=ing stupid. Pay your fighters…….
Bruno: Did not delete. Working on fix. Try it now!
Dana is a boss.. stop acting like he should be all prim and proper just because he's the head of the company. This is the fight business.. the regular rules don't apply;Dana's rants are entertaining and part of what makes the UFC popular.
Most house negroes understand that they are disgustingly keeping the peace but at least they have a selfish interest. Why do you love the boss? trained from birth?
haha the comments about douche bag dana is funny
dana is marmite .
its a love or hate thing [incase you dont have marmite where you live] .
To high stakes and real Robert and other boss nut lickers.
key board warrior yet you lash out back using what??! YOUR keyboard.!! LOL
real Roberts really? where chuck Liddell is?? lol Chuck and DAna were best friends. Don't you know their history.. Doesn't mean everyone should kiss the boss's ass to go ufc corporate in retirement.
these are fighters. they face the music. they aren't trained to lick the boss's balls. They didn't do it in school shouldn't have to do it in fighting.
They should be able to show up to fight, do their job and leave the politics to the crazy's ..
Now high stakes saying ken is not a legend and has not fought legend's is just embarrassing. Just bow out right now. If you don't consider Royce gracie a legend then apparently your cut out for something a fan couldn't even do.
These men fought for over an hour!! almost two hours one fight mthr f'r. go watch some old ufc movies then come back.
unfortunately you won't be any smarter.

The owner of a dilapidated strip mall in Fayetteville has a new deadline to repair the building or tear it down.
In environmental court Tuesday, the judge told Bill Agapion he has until Sept. 30, or the city will be able to take its own action to tear down the strip mall.
The strip mall at the corner of Owen Drive and Southern Ave. was once home to the Palomino and South Beach night clubs. The main anchor space that once housed those clubs has been vacant since about 2009.
Because of high crime concerns, the city police department filed a nuisance abatement lawsuit in 2008 that prevented Agapion from continuing to operate a nightclub in the strip mall.
The anchor space has been vacant and deteriorating since then. The rest of the strip mall has several vacant spots, including a space recently vacated by a Family Dollar store. Two other tenants, Parker Pawn and Beauty Giant & Furniture, are planning to move out.
Because of the numerous building code violations, the city originally asked Agapion to sign-off on demolition. Agapion did not agree, so the city pursued criminal charges for the building code violations.
Agapion requested more time to find a buyer for the property who would remodel it. His final deadline was Tuesday.
In the meantime, the city also pursued administrative action against Agapion. A city board deemed the building dangerous and also gave Agapion until September 30 to fix the problems.
Members of a community watch in the surrounding Massey Hill area say they have been waiting for this action for years.
"We need somebody to say time out, let's stop and work together to find a solution to this, which part of it and bringing this building down, putting something else, revitalization," George Butterfly said. "We've run into a roadblock here. This building is a blight on our community, it provokes or hides a lot of crime.
"It takes a lot of city resources that could be used for other things."
Community watch members think the lot will be more interesting to new investors if the building is torn down and there is a clean slate to work with.

In a message addressed to both civilian employees and military personnel, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel stressed "We own it...we'll solve it...together", concerning Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.
Hagel views Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month as an
opportunity for the entire Department of Defense community -- service members, civilians,
members of families and leaders at every level -- to underscore a
commitment to eliminating the crime of sexual assault. Additionally, Hegel added that supporting
victims, and intervening when appropriate to help stop unsafe
behavior also needed consideration, as well.
He wrote, "Together, we must work every day to instill a climate
that does not tolerate or ignore sexist behavior, sexual harassment, or
sexual assault. These have no place in the United States military and
violate everything we stand for and the values we defend. Creating a
culture free of the scourge of sexual assault requires establishing an
environment where dignity and respect is afforded to all, and where
diversity is celebrated as one of our greatest assets as a force."
Hagel closed his message by stressing that airmen, marines, soldiers, and sailors watch out for each other
and respect each other. "By drawing on these strengths, we can and we

I don't know about the rest of you, but these 14 hour days, 7 days a week are making me nuts. We should unionize or communize or something to ease the pressure. I'd like to think I don't need another grown-up, a chaperone to be a better parent, but I can laugh when I'm in the company of someone who doesn't think poop is the best kind of humor and that makes all the difference. When I can joke about Libby's need to change her clothes a few times a day it makes for a nearly cute story, almost charming, but when I'm home alone with her and she comes trotting downstairs in yet another skirt & t-shirt and I know that the previous skirt & t-shirt are laying on her bedroom floor or worse, in the hallway without any regard for the person who sorted, washed, folded and maybe even put away, I'm just irked. I should rethink the chaperone thing. Maybe then I could appreciate the pure, perfect kidness of her costume changes instead of dwelling on what really amounts to nothing with no ill will intended.
Why is it so much easier to be reasonable and patient when another adult is around? Am I actually more relaxed when I have an ally, a confidante, a person who can appreciate the art of sarcasm? Or is it just social expectations of being in public that dampen my reactions? When it's the kids and I home on a regular day like today without much contact with the outside world (despite being outside a lot) it's as if I lose all perspective and apparently my sense of humor. It's not like I could stand being with anyone else as much as I'm with the kids so maybe we aren't doing so bad, we just all enjoy someone our own age to share time with!
Like when it's bath night, we've reached the end of the day and the last thing the kids will tolerate is daddy doing any of the things they have deemed my jurisdiction, but all I really need is for Kramer to be in the bathroom, sit on the toilet and keep me company. I can almost tolerate the water splashing out of the tub if I have someone there who simply gets why the water should stay in the tub and why poop isn't that funny. It's just good to be with someone who gets it.

mike urban: cretaceous garden
Mike Urban welds the most enchanting dinosaur sculptures for the yard or garden from bits of metal. Reclaimed scraps from tractors, shovels and other implements give the dinosaurs even more charm. Mike Urban

Very cool! Where is it located?
What a great way to repurpose metal. I always wonder where such large slabs of leftover metal go once they're no longer useful, so I love this. The subtle farming forms within the dinos really joins them to the green background. I've found other green-friendly wall art with quirky options for interiors.
Awesome. There is lots of photos on the site you linked, but I still can't find the location of garden. Is it open to the public?
Wow, so cool! I love green/recycled DIY projects so naturally I am a fan of this website- kudos!
Check out my latest DIY recycled project…
I completely agree with the above comments and just wanted to say how cool the dinosaurs are!
This is such a fun way of integrating design into your backyard. I love the concept!
Great pictures !!! I have never seen it before
Wow, must take great skill to perfect that craft and I bet the kids love it…wouldn't fancy looking out the window on a rainy, dark night alone and seeing the outline of a dinosaur though!
Ingenious use of re-purposed metal. You are an artist.
We are in love with these! Surrounded by large ferns or palms, it would be positively prehistoric!
A great memory that people could enjoy when visit the urban garden. Nice work out from the part of the artists.
Wow. It is awesome design.

Independent protesters associated with the Occupy Nashville movement have tried a new tactic resulted in 13 arrests early Sunday morning. Police arrested 12 adults and one juvenile around 2 a.m. at an abandoned office building located at 2300 Charlotte Pike. According to police, the protesters were found on top of the building.All 13 were charged with trespassing. Police cited and released the adults while the juvenile was booked and taken into custody.Occupy Nashville protesters also marched outside the building. Those marching outside the building were not arrested or charged.The protesters said in a statement they believed the property to be abandoned state property and wanted it to be used to house the homeless."We respect property so much that we're offended when it sits unused," the statement said in part. The Tennessee Highway Patrol has not confirmed whether the property is state-owned or privately-owned, but it may have been recently sold by the state to a private owner.An investigation into the incident continues.

Any thoughts on T.O. for a 2nd / 3rd option on offense? I think that given our lack of a running game and a bye week coming up, we should grab him, use him for the rest of the year and then be done with him.
He could be a distraction, but with KVB, Suh and Stafford I don't think they would let him get out of control. Plus I think he wants to prove he still has something left in the tank.

Stella Creasy MP: 'L&Q's plans don't represent best deal for taxpayer'
Like many residents in Walthamstow, I'm gutted to see Boris Johnson's support for the popular Walthamstow Dog Stadium before the mayoral elections disappear after them.
Ever since they bought it in a private sale, both Iain Duncan Smith and I have argued L&Q's plans don't represent the best deal for the taxpayer or local residents.
That's why along with many others we've worked to provide an alternative proposal that will not only restore our dog track as a going concern but also bring living wage jobs, housing and investment to our area.
– Stella Creasy, Labour and Co-operative MP for Walthamstow
Today's news is a bitter blow to those of us who want the best for Walthamstow. However, we're not giving up just yet.
I made a pledge to residents at the election to fight for our stadium because of the future potential it offers our community and I owe it to them to continue to explore who can hear our concerns now.
That's why I'm now making a public plea to the Government to listen to Walthamstow and asking residents to make their feelings known to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.

Toyota is recalling more than 2.5 million Prius second generation models worldwide.
The recall was prompted by problems with the vehicle's steering shaft and electric powered motor pumps.
Toyota says the vehicles could be damaged and neglect to switch into hybrid mode if they aren't fixed.
The automaker plans to notify affected owners by mail starting in December.
This is Toyota's second major recall in as many months.

text: Thanks, everyone, for your very thoughtful replies. I do feel very invested in this, and I'm going to stop coming up with excuses to not attend my first munch! I think the risk of being inadvertently outed will be far outweighed by the positive effect of perhaps finding a community where I can truly be myself. Probably my main reason for coming out to my vanilla friends would be the desire to avoid feeling like I'm living some kind of double life. Ultimately, though, keeping them on a need-to-know-basis about my new adventure seems like the best course of action. If it somehow comes up, then I'll just choose to own it... otherwise, yeah...

Heavy rain has made for a long and slippery commute for Houstonians Thursday morning. A fatality accident on the southbound lanes of Highway 59 at Jackson shut down all main lanes for more than 3 hours this morning.
Houston Police Department tells FOX 26 that the driver of a pickup truck entered 59 inbound lanes traveling the wrong way. The truck then slammed head on into a car. The driver of the truck died at the scene.
The woman in the car was transported the Memorial Hermann hospital in critical condition.
The accident closed a major artery into downtown for three hours during the morning commute. Travel on alternate routes was slowed down because of the heavy rain and some minor street flooding.

AAAHHH Freak Out! Is what every man, woman and child do when Nile Rodgers and Chic hit the stage. So many chart hits under his belt it would induce RSI to type them all out. All I can say is WOW! ... Long live Chic, and long live Bingley Music Live, so many highlights so little time. See you next year for more of the same.

Bingley Music Live 2013 gave 15,000 music fans real bang for their buck with an explosive and eclectic three-day extravaganza...Headline acts The Human League, Primal Scream and Chic featuring Nile Rodgers were worth the entrance fee alone...Bingley Music Live's cri-de-guerre is "Big Hearts. Big Sounds" and they will have undoubtedly won over a few more after yet another fantastic festival.

This year's festival saw Bingley play host to an incredible set of headliners- The Human League, Primal Scream and Chic/Nile Rodgers- that undoubtedly rivalled, if not completely outstripped, many of the much larger and far more widely known UK festivals...There was a real sense of people coming together just to enjoy themselves and lose themselves in their love of music

Organisers of the Bingley Music Live event should have every right to feel proud. The 2013 event finished to the classic disco sounds of Chic featuring Nile Rodgers soaring above the town's Myrtle Park...This year's lineup was as strong as any other festival of its size, but perhaps made more impressive by the fact that this is a council run event.

With headliners including the Human League and Chic and what's billed as the last ever appearance of Wilko Johnson, this year's Bingley festival has come a long way since its 2007 inception.

Bingley Music Live is a festival that bang for buck offers more than almost any other contender. With a ticket setting you back only around £40 it is roughly a case of £1 per band. In no way does this limit the calibre of the acts on offer either, with some of the biggest names from this years festival circuit all in attendance. In terms of access to the festival ground, BML again comes out a winner, with the site an easy stroll away from the train station and town centre... with home grown talent peppered across the line up this is one festival that really has a homely northern feel to it... All in all, Bingley Music Live is the perfect family festival for the end of the season. 7/10.

So another year under the belt of Bingley Festival. Bingley Music Live, drew to a fabulous close last night, under dramatic skies, which couldn't have been scripted better. The entire weekend had so much going for it, the atmosphere, the organisation and the music, all were of the highest order and this growing annual event will no doubt be penciled in peoples 2014 diaries come Christmas...Only 362 days to go.

Bingley's Myrtle Park hosted dozens of diverse bands and tens of thousands of music fans over the weekend for one of the most successful Bingley Music Live events yet...the festival prides itself on providing something for everyone, and this year was no exception, with young families rubbing shoulders with seasoned festival goers.

Over the last few years this once small festival has grown in both size and popularity... This year's festival was a 3 day affair with 3 stages, a Kid's Zone and a range of food stalls… the Kid's Zone… was a brilliant addition to the festival with a wide range of activities including a sand pit, bouncy castle, tunnels and face painting… The atmosphere was really chilled out with lots of families sat around enjoying the sunshine and music. The festival is continuing to grow and the new additions have made it even better. The fact that they manage to provide so much entertainment whilst only charging £45 for a weekend ticket is superb value for money. 9/10

Bingley Music Live… it's grown and is doing more and more to make it a festival for family and friends of all ages. The line up itself helps with that of course, they don't hide the fact that they book a variety of acts that will give something for everyone… it's not all about the music now, as good as some of that has been it's the fact that it's such a diverse crowd, is so well priced (early bird tickets now available for next year) and is growing in stature year on year.

What they say
"I'd never heard of the festival before and I was quite surprised; I thought it was a small festival then when we got here and we see thousands upon thousands of people; we thought this is the real deal. I mean, we do this for a living and we go around the world playing festivals. This one, I swear, it's second to none."
Benji Webbe, Skindred
The small Yorkshire town of Bingley may be an unlikely home for a major pop festival, but the fourth Bingley Music Live has established itself as a cheaper, more family-friendly alternative to the giant Leeds.
The Guardian
"I'm really impressed. The organisation is first rate, it's easy to get to, easy to get in to, everyone's having a good time, there's a great vibe going on and everyone seems really happy which is the ultimate importance."
John Giddings, Global Music Agent

NEGROS OCCIDENTAL, Aug. 29 (PIA6) - - The Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (DENR-CENRO) heightened the implementation of the tri-partite agreement on wildlife trade monitoring at the Bacolod-Silay Airport.
DENR, Police Center for Aviation Security (PCAS) and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) inked a Memorandum of Agreement in June this year for monitoring of wildlife trade in airports.
CENR Officer Edgardo Rostata met with representatives from the partner agencies recently to authorize the assignment of Protected Areas, Wildlife and Coastal Zone Management Services (PAWCZMS) personnel at the airport for the enforcement of the MOA together with the CAAP and PCAS personnel.
Regional Executive Director Adeluisa G. Siapno initiated this effort and entered a MOA with partners requiring DENR Officials in the Region to assign personnel at the Airport in order to strengthen monitoring and law enforcement in terms of wildlife trading.
Meanwhile, Assistant Airport Manager Ofelia Leonardo and P/SINSP Rommel Ybañez of PCAS appreciate the presence of DENR personnel at the airport considering that they often encounter difficulties in dealing with offenses punishable under RA 9147, or the Wildlife Conservation and Protection Act of 2001 as well as the implementation of protocols and proper documents that would support any movement of wildlife and its by-products.*(JCM/EAD-PIA6/CENRO Negros Occidental)
