Sunday, April 22, 2007
Requires Adobe Flash
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. –The #12th ranked FGCU softball team used a homerun barrage to sweep a doubleheader from Northwood University on Sunday afternoon. The Eagles hit eight homers in the doubleheader including seven in the second inning of game two. Junior Carmen Paez (Belle Glade, Fla.) went 3-for-3 with two home runs to tie the NCAA Division II single-season home run record and lead Florida Gulf Coast College to a 21-2 victory over Northwood in the second game of the doubleheader Sunday afternoon at Alumni Field. The Eagles pulled off the sweep with a 6-2 victory in the opener. The Eagles improve to 58-6 overall with the sweep while the Seahawks fall to 23-25. Northwood returns to action Wednesday when they host Nova Southeastern in a 2 p.m. doubleheader. Paez's two home runs in the nightcap gives her 26 for the season, tying her with former University of Wisconsin-Parkside slugger Jackie Aiken for the NCAA Division II single-season record, set during the 1995 season. Senior Rachel Homan (Vero Beach, Fla.) was 4-for-7 with four RBI, sophomore Cheyenne Jenks (Naples, Fla.) was 4-for-6 with three runs scored and three runs scored and sophomore Desiree Miller (Hartville, Ohio) was 4-for-8 with two RBI to highlight the Eagles lineup. Senior Ashley Hori was 3-for-6 to lead the Seahawks attack. Junior Amanda Sinclair was 2-for-5 while junior Carlee Eggett was 1-for-4 with a solo home run and senior Stephanie Adams was 2-for-6 with a solo home run. The Eagles made short work of the Seahawks in game two, scoring three times in the top of the first before exploding for 12 runs on 11 hits, including seven home runs, in the top of the second to take a 15-0 lead. Paez and Homan each had two home runs in inning that saw 16 batters step to the plate while Jenks (two-run), Jessica Rouse (Jacksonville, Fla.) (solo) and Miller (two-run) also went deep during the frame. The Eagles added four runs in the third and a single run in the fourth before Northwood was able to get on the board in the bottom of the fourth on a RBI single by senior Brittney Flynn. The Seahawks added another run in the fifth by way of a solo home run by Adams before the game was called after five innings due the eight-run rule. Sophomore Dana Frantz (Brighton, Mich.) was credited with the win to up her season mark to 26-4. In five innings, Frantz surrendered two runs (one earned) on five hits while striking out six. Freshman Kendall Brooks (9-10) took the loss for the Seahawks in the nightcap. In one inning of work, Brooks allowed 10 runs (four earned) on nine hits and two walks. With the game one tied at 2-all in the top of the seventh, FGCU plated four runs on two hits and two errors to go ahead, 6-2. The Eagles got the first run on an error by Adams that allowed sophomore Christina Piquette (Barrington, R.I.) to score from second. Jenks tallied the second run after she scored from third on a wild pitch while a double off the center field wall by senior Natasha Johnson (Fort Pierce, Fla.) brought home the last two runs of the inning. Earlier in the contest, Northwood took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, opening the frame with three straight singles to load the bases before Hori scored from third on a wild pitch. FGCU tallied two runs in the top of the second to take a 2-1 lead. Rouse opened the frame with a solo home run to left center while junior Roz Tyre (Lake City, Fla.) brought home the second run with a double that plated Johnson, who reached base earlier in the inning on a fielder's choice. Eggett knotted the score at 2-all in the bottom of the fourth with a solo home run to center field. The blast was her fourth home run of the season. Junior Rachel Edinger (Lakeland, Fla.) picked up the win for the Eagles in game one, going all seven innings to improve to 28-1. Edinger allowed two runs on six hits and one walk. She struck out nine batters. Junior Erin Lambros (13-15) took the loss for the Seahawks in the opener. In seven innings, Lambros allowed six runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks. She struck out three batters.

A car dealership in south Florida got an interesting phone call this week. A woman's pet boa constrictor got stuck in her car's paneling.
Vista BMW in Coconut Creek gets lots of service calls, but workers there say this one Monday morning was by far the strangest. The woman's pet boa had gotten into the side of her Mini Cooper. She said she normally keeps the reptile in a travel bag, but somehow, it got out.
Chris Braun, who works at the dealership, rescued the animal even though he has a fear of snakes. The owner of the snake was embarrassed to speak on camera. But she and her boa have been happily reunited.

True Ghost Stories
This is a story sent to me by Chris Shear. It is a wonderful account of his expereince at Ellerbe Road chool.
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
Thank you Chris for sending the story.
Old Ellerbe and Me: A true storyIt has been said that Louisiana is one of the most haunted states in our nation, second only to Virginia. Many in the Shreveport/Bossier area would agree, blaming it all on New Orleans legacy of voodoo and on the sordid history of cotton farming in the South. Few think that our area is just as infested with spectral visions and spooky sites. It is. Twenty years after his death a construction worker makes his presence known in the halls of a South Shreveport pharmaceutical company. In the eroded remains of a church bell tower waits a bride whose groom has had cold feet for decades now. Then there is Old Ellerbe School. I first stumbled upon Ellerbe on a website devoted to cataloging haunted places across the United States. The person who supplied the information stated that people have heard bells and the faint screams of young children emanating from the school's walls. This, of course, piqued my interest, and I began making inquiries among friends and associates. Finding out the truth behind its abandonment and ghostly inhabitants has thus far proven rather difficult, perhaps owing to my reluctance to go to the library and look it up. Who wants to sit for hours searching through microfilm copies of old newspapers when it's much more fun to just guess? I heard several conflicting stories about the place from the people I've questioned. Some say it was a school for the children of the wealthy farmers who inhabit that rural locality. Others identify it as a black school that met with a very nasty end. It was involved in segregation. It was involved in desegregation. It was involved in a fire. It was just closed down. Separating fact from fiction is not an easy thing, but, what the hell; I'm not getting paid for this. I might as well go out on a limb.One of my fellow security guards informed me that he moved to this area in 1955, and remembers that the school was already abandoned at that point. So we know it's been falling apart in that field for at least 45 years. I seriously doubt that it was a black school. It's too nice to be something that would be used by blacks in the Deep South. It resembles the elementary school that I went to; same architectural style, almost the same layout. It's quite possible that the two schools were built in the same era. Looking through the phone book has yielded no sign of a Shreveport-Bossier City Historical Society or anything close to it. But hey, we do have five casinos! Just what we need, another strip of wicker for our hand basket to hell. I received tales of terror that are either a testament to Ellerbe's haunted legacy, or to a person's ability to imagine some really scary shit while running , half-drunk, through the dark. My mind was filled with ghostly students still in class after all these years, flashes of green light that raced through the building, and manhole covers that opened by themselves to reveal unseen Lovecraftian horrors sloshing around in the water below. Of course, Old Ellerbe has also been linked to Satanic cults who often visit and no doubt use it for their bizarre rituals which regularly include child sacrifice, unwholesome sex acts, and arts and crafts lessons. How could I not want to visit?Late one night, roughly three years ago, my friend, Jason, and I hopped into his Ford Ranger and set out to find the school. The directions we had gleaned from previous adventurers were rather vague, as no one could tell us exactly how many miles outside of town Old Ellerbe lies. All we had to rely on was that if we kept driving south on Ellerbe Road we would eventually see it in a field on our right. It was a lonely and rather ominous drive. Once we got outside of Shreveport streetlights became practically non-existent, and the landscape outside the truck descended into a shadowy, barely visible world. Shapes loomed out of the darkness and I would hit them with Jason's 10,000 candlepower spotlight. Barns, storage buildings and other assorted bastions of rural life taunted us. Ten miles south of the intersection of Ellerbe Road and Flournoy-Lucas we were becoming slightly annoyed.
Then something appeared in the moonlight; something large and foreboding, an ill-defined shape sprawled out in a field of tall grass. I raised the spotlight, pulled the trigger, and lit it up."Oh shit." I said.My finger slipped off the trigger and Ellerbe was plunged back into darkness. We had found our destination and it was not at all what we had been expecting. According to legend a fire had broken out, gutting the school and forcing its closing. In my mind I had seen a burned up husk, the skeletal remains of a less fire retardant era. In reality it is quite whole; decayed, but still defiantly standing.
After parking the truck we approached Ellerbe from the road, taking in the view in an almost reverent silence, preparing ourselves to witness the awesome terror for ourselves.As usual terror has chosen not to wait in a nice, well lit, air conditioned building with a wide range of snack cakes to nibble on as one is exploring. That would probably defeat the purpose.
Old Ellerbe resembles many of the schools in the Northwest Louisiana area. A driveway of weed-infested pavement arcs up to the school and back to the road. A pair of rectangular one story classroom buildings sits up front. Between them is a central covered breezeway that runs back approximately 150 feet. It ends between a third classroom building, which also held the administration offices, and a cluster of structures housing the kitchen, cafeteria/auditorium, gym and locker rooms. Most of the windows we could see were shattered. The graffiti covered cinderblock walls were crumbling in some places, and in others covered in creeper vines as Mother Nature pushed to reclaim her former territory. Traipsing gingerly through the field, avoiding the numerous cow pies that littered the ground, we decided to enter the building that turned out to be the combination cafeteria and auditorium. It was a large room, with the kitchen facilities off to one side and a small stage on another.Now if Hollywood has taught me anything about ghosts, it's that the majority of them are not very nice to us living people. What I've been able to gather from numerous movies and TV shows is that ghosts tend to thing along these lines:1. I am dead.2. That makes me unhappy.3. After years of unhappiness I have developed an antisocial attitude and some major anger management issues.4. Here comes a living person. I think I'll scare/possess/kill them!So, in an act of politeness that one should not expect to reoccur, I spoke to the spirits."Look guys, we just wanted to stop by and look around a bit. Maybe take a few pictures. I promise you that we will not vandalize anything. We won't add to all this graffiti that people seem to think is necessary. We won't take any of your stuff as souvenirs. Please don't scare the shit out of us ok? I know you've been dead for a long time and are pretty bored and the only fun you get to have is when us living folk come trespassing. Please let us look around. And, uh, if you want to maybe show up in a few of the pictures that's quite all right with me. Thanks."We began our adventure. In the kitchen the oven hood still clung to the ceiling over a raised area of floor where cooking once took place. The bleachers and hardwood floor of the gym remained, but in a rotting state of decay. Any carpet that may have existed had long since been rendered indistinguishable from the mud and cow manure that littered the floor. Graffiti covered blackboards adorned the walls of the empty classrooms. Some of the halls still had lockers, though some were tipped over and rusted through. Wiring dangled from the ceiling, brushing against our faces at the most inopportune times.
For an hour we walked through Old Ellerbe School, and in all that time we had no ghostly experiences; no children, no green flashes of light, and certainly no manhole covers opening up.In one of the bathrooms we found, amongst the chunks of porcelain, a mostly intact toilet seat. I briefly considered taking it home with me as a rather appropriate souvenir but decided against it. With my luck it would bring along a little dead student. (Ghostly flushing from a haunted toilet seat, next on Strange Universe.) Of course, I had also promised that we wouldn't do anything like that.......this visit.We walked back to Jason's truck empty handed and broke out the Hooper's Hooch to celebrate the fact that neither of us had gone into cardiac arrest. We were at that moment the masters of fear, patting each other on the back. Nothing could scare us. We were invincible.That's when the little girl screamed.I looked at Jason. Jason looked at me.Perhaps we were celebrating a bit too soon. We did what any sane, rational person would have done in our place, namely hop our butts into the safety of Jason's truck and take off. We stopped in front of the school, and I got out to take a few quick pictures before we left. I walked to the edge of the road and raised the camera.
The little girl screamed again. In an instant I was back at the passenger side window telling Jason I had heard it again. I don't remember exactly what I said, but it was no doubt witty and profound, as is my style. Jason may say that it was mostly incoherent babbling. He is a liar. I snapped off four quick photos, none of which turned out, and we got the hell out of there.It was funny how we didn't hear anything till after we had left the school. If one were so inclined, it could be reasoned that since I had asked not to be scared while in the buildings the ghosts waited till we were outside to have their fun.
I learned something that night which I have never forgotten. Dead people are jerks.

OKLAHOMA CITY (BP)--For most families across our nation (and throughout the Southern Baptist Convention) the "family altar" is considered a relic of the past. While some hold firmly to the individual practice of a daily, personal "quiet time," many openly confess that such a practice is attended to only sporadically, or not at all.
The family altar, a time when the entire family gathers for Bible study, prayer and a mutual expression of love, understanding and mission, has been virtually replaced by a myriad of activities and our all-consuming attachment to media. Far more is said about the "family viewing hour" on television than the "family hour" of devotion. This is an issue which the Southern Baptist Council on Family Life hopes to remedy.
The Word of God, prayer and a sense of family togetherness are indispensable elements for effectively facing the challenges of life. It is at the family altar that children come to appreciate the faith of their parents, and parents come to understand and connect with the hearts of their children.
For this reason, the SBC Council on Family Life urges every family to set aside one night every week as "family night," a night of Bible study, prayer, establishing family goals, planning family mission projects and developing a sense of teamwork. This night should be a fixed order of business on the family schedule, chosen because it will not interfere with either worship or other activities. It should be planned for in advance and approached with an attitude of openness and inclusiveness. In fact, the simple process of scheduling your own family night can become an exercise in which your family can participate together.
The large single adult population presents special challenges and opportunities when thinking through your approach to a family night. Families are urged to invite the participation of singles. This would include senior adults whose wisdom and maturity would be a benediction on your home AND younger singles who are away from their own families and can help you think "outside the box" when considering how to fulfill the Great Commission. Couples are challenged to include others as well in their own weekly time of devotion, Bible study and planning for Great Commission Projects. Many of our SBC entities have made available an incredible array of resources for a weekly family night.
This major emphasis on family night is a fresh call to Southern Baptists at a crucial moment in history. It has the potential for becoming a catalyst for spiritual awakening in our nation, providing an atmosphere in which God may be pleased to send revival. It will demand creativity, diligence, faithfulness and sacrifice, but the rewards far outweigh any of these costs.
For many Southern Baptists this will be a new experience which will bring untold blessing to their homes. But it is in the home that God desires each of us to first hear his Word, call on him in prayer and focus our energies on the fulfillment of our Lord's Great Commission. Every Southern Baptist is urged to heed this fresh call to the family altar.
Elliff is pastor of the Oklahoma City-area First Southern Baptist Church in Del City and chairman of the Southern Baptist Council on Family Life which, in conjunction with the SBC Pastors' Conference and LifeWay Christian Resources, is inviting Southern Baptists to the SBC's first-ever Kingdom Family Rally June 16 in Phoenix, Ariz.

Dougherty County -- It has been a week since a man was murdered outside his Southwest Albany home. Investigators say they are making progress in the case.
50 year old Raymond Hawkins was shot last Friday morning on his way to work. Family found his body behind the carport of his West Whitney home about 8:45.
Police want to question 58 year old Maurice Smith in the case. He has not been charged, but Investigators say he is a person of interest.
Lt. Tracey Barnes of the Albany Police said "We've been following up leads. We are hoping soon that we will be able to get a break in the case, and be able to solve this."
Investigators believe Smith left Albany after the murder. But they hope to have him return for questioning soon.

IFA consumer electronics show 2010 Kitchen, laundry and cleaning at IFA 2010

Samsung Ecobubble washing machine
Samsung's new washing machine technology emphasises the power of foam to deliver more efficient cleaning at lower temperatures.
The Ecobubble system works by mixing detergent and water in a special foam generator at the base of the washing machine, rather than the more conventional system of mixing in the drum, and then injecting the foam into the drum.
According to Samsung, the Ecobubble system lowers the surface tension of the water, meaning that the foam molecules can penetrate fabric more easily and clean more effectively. This reduces the temperature needed for washing, so Samsung says you can switch from washing, say at 60 degrees, to 40 degrees, or from 40 to 20, giving an energy saving of up to 70%.
To find out more about the Samsung Ecobubble system watch our First Look video review below.

LG Styler clothes steaming wardrobe
One of the more bizarre prototype home appliances on show at IFA 2010 was the LG Styler. The Styler is the size of a tall fridge-freezer and claims to freshen, steam clean, deodorise and remove creases from clothes without the need for ironing.
It works in a similar way to many steam ovens, requiring no plumbing-in. Instead, inside the main door at the base of the appliance are two water reservoirs. These are used to produce steam which is then circulated around the Styler's interior where your clothes hang from the integral vibrating hanging rail or are laid flat on one of the two shelves.
A touch-control panel on the outside of the LG Styler's door lets you select the desired programme, most of which take just 35 minutes. According to LG the Styler is ideal for refreshing, deodorising or sanitising clothing in between washes, for example a suit or dress that may have been worn in a smoky environment.
The LG Styler is likely to cost around £2,000 when it launches in the UK. To see it in action, watch our First Look video review below.
LG's Styler may be futuristic, but its price tag and size are unlikely to make it a replacement for your trusty iron any time soon. For reviews of more than 100 of the latest steam irons, be sure to read our Best Buy iron reviews.
LG Hom-bot
The LG Hom-bot (pronounced Home bot) is the first robotic vacuum cleaner from LG. Predicted to be priced at around £500 when it arrives in the UK, the Hom-bot packs plenty of innovative technology into its circular body.
For starters there are two on-board cameras - one on the top which scans the ceiling of the rooms you ask your Hom-bot to clean, and one beneath which helps to work out where in the room it's vacuuming at a particular time.
Other clever technology includes ultrasonic sensors around the edge to help the Hom-bot to locate the boundaries of the room, plus infra-red sensors on the underside.
The Hom-bot doesn't vacuum in a random pattern, but instead can be programmed to work in a zig-zag pattern, similar to mowing stripes in a lawn, or a cell-by-cell technique where the Hom-bot works its way round the edge of a room, then vacuums individual square 'cells' of floor one at a time.
Inside, there's a lithium-ion battery with a claimed life of 90 minutes continuous vacuuming. The dust container is simple to access, under a lift-up flap, and holds 0.8 litres of dust.

A skin examination is conducted by a physician at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. But the mock patient in this simulation is not at the facility. The doctor is making her diagnosis through an iPad.
"We recognize the need to support patients and providers that are scattered out across the very broad landscape of northern New England," said Dr. Sarah Pletcher of DHMC.
Two grants from the United States Department of Agriculture will allow the hospital to buy more technology like this and implement it at 40 rural hospitals throughout Vermont and New Hampshire. Think of it as a conversation via Skype with a high-resolution camera.
"Dermatology exams, otoscopes, stethoscopes-- whatever the right device is to present the information and images to the specialist to be able to render an opinion," said Tom Winchell, the technology director.
Lenses can be swapped in and out depending on the procedure. The doctor will never physically enter the room. The experts here say it's the future of how health care will be conducted.
"We are strong advocates of being able to take distance out of the equation of delivering health care," Winchell said.
"Any time we can keep a patient at their first stop, their first local hospital, we feel that we can provide better, safer, more valuable care and certainly look at opportunities to cut costs, as well," Pletcher said.
A nurse will help facilitate examinations, but there are some things the camera will never be able to replace.
"You can't do surgery over telemedicine though you can support providers who are trying to do procedures," Pletcher noted.
The technology also eliminates that valuable bedside care. But Pletcher says statistics show that any interaction with a doctor, even over a computer, is better than no interaction at all.
"If you can provide access to patients, to providers, that is more important to them than the ability to actually touch their provider," Pletcher said.
The technology is already being tested and implemented across the region. Doctors say it gives patients high quality care at a low cost close to home.
How much and what type of equipment distributed will be based on each hospital's individual needs.

At 44, Still Seeking Her Dream Job
by Greg Warner
Apr 28, 2005 — Women with Turner's Syndrome--the disease affects only women--have a damaged X chromosome. Symptoms include infertility, depression and health problems, such as brittle bones and heart ailments. Rebecca Shaney lives in Watertown. She wasn't diagnosed with Turner's until she was 28. When she was 29, she got her master's degree in French. Rebecca is, in her own words, obsessed with French. She's always wanted to be a French teacher. She has taught after school and tutored and been a sub, but she's never landed a full time teaching job. Meanwhile she's cleaned offices, washed dishes, and cashiered. She's currently on disability for a broken hip. She lives well under the poverty line. Rebecca had another job interview this month; we gave her a tape recorder the week before.

A St. Helena
Island couple couldn't sleep after winning the Lottery, so they sat up in bed
taking turns clutching their $200,000 winning scratch-off.
"We held onto that ticket all night," the wife confessed.
She told lottery officials she paid $10 for the Golden Spades winner at the Circle K Stores #5386 on Sea Island
Parkway in Beaufort. Since her car
was out of commission, her husband picked her up from work and was with her
when she scratched the ticket. She says her heart dropped when she uncovered
the prize. She could not help but wonder if the ticket was a prank.
"She couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe it," the
husband said.
Excited, they called and woke up family with the news.
"It's amazing," said the wife.
She already has a new car in mind.
"And I won't have to pick her up from work anymore," the
husband added.
That was the last top prize of $200,000 in the $10 Golden Spades game. Odds of
winning $200,000 were one in 520,000.
For selling the claimed ticket, the store received a commission of $2,000.

"I never took one cent from a boy to show him how to wrestle, all I asked for is guts ... I can make you strong, fast, agile and train you for endurance and reflex, but guts you get when you are born." - Karl Gotch (August 3, 1924 - July 28, 2007)
Over the last few on years on Bloody Elbow, we've covered the biography of the late Karl Gotch to varying degrees of detail, which you'll be able to read on the links below. Cageside Seats will likely have a piece up this weekend as well due to the significance of Gotch bridging the gap between exhibition show wrestling and the competitive MMA prototype that emerged in Japan in the 1980's.
It is worth pointing out for posterity that Gotch's uniqueness in combat sports history resulted in the time and circumstances he was born and raised in. 1924 -- the year of his birth in Antwerp, Belgium -- was just a few years shy of the great economic depression that was felt almost the world over, spurred on by the infamous Wall Street Crash in 1929.
His German Father and Hungarian Mother moved the family to Germany, at a time when the country was undergoing radical change in the wake of its own hyperinflation caused economic struggles, and the fallout from the Treaty Of Versaille formed at the end of the first World War.
Poverty and depression helped cultivate the fascist National and Social German Workers Party -- or Nazi party -- which would take power in Germany and turn the nation into a dictatorship. Many know of the atrocities the Nazis caused with their ethnic cleansing of Jews, Slavs and other non-Arean races, but they would also intern German citizens that refused to work for them when asked. Gotch's father was one such citizen, and both he and his father were imprisoned in a labor camp as a result, while Gotch's mother had managed to avoid arrest while not being in the area at the time.
Related Stories
Karl Gotch Week | MMA Origins: Catch Wrestling Travels to Japan | MMA Origins: Birth of Japanese MMA
It's unknown how long Gotch was in one of these camps, but he had nearly died of starvation before his camp was liberated by one of the allied forces.
Gotch grew up in poverty and endured the horrors of World War II that nearly cost him his life, yet he was able to compete in the London 1948 Olympic Games for Belgium in both Freestyle and Greco Roman Wrestling, just 3 years after World War II had ended, and just shy of his 24th Birthday.
Gotch's reputation of being hard-nosed, stubborn, difficult to work with and an alleged bully within Professional Wrestling has to be taken into consideration with his history of fighting and surviving for much of his early life in real times of hardship and conflict. He had little patience for those who hadn't worked hard or had the 'amateur spirit' of competition within them, which is largely why he was never able to find success in the United States since the ability to make money through promotion and theatrics never appealed to him.
The famous incident between him and NWA champion Buddy Rogers didn't help matters either, with Rogers accusing Gotch of serious assault while Gotch and his training partner Dr Bill Miller were thought to have just slapped him around a bit for refusing to work with them. New Zealand wrestler Abe Jacobs who was also a part of the NWA believed had Gotch and Miller really wanted to hurt Rogers, "... there would have been nothing left of Buddy Rogers,".
Japan and its martial tradition allowed Gotch's style of scientific mat wrestling as well as work ethic -- Gotch liked to say "Conditioning is your strongest hold!" -- to flourish and influence generations of athletes, though Gotch remained highly opinionated of what would become MMA and the state of wrestling, often stating the grappling that was permeating MMA was 'garbage'. Gotch didn't like the use of the guard because the pin had been negated, believing those that pulled guard did "half the work" for him, and referring to the staple of modern Jiu Jitsu as 'The Whore Hold'. Gotch also mocked the use of the Gi, as he liked to say "I only wear pajamas when I go to bed".
Underneath this hard looking exterior for the few that got to know him was a man with passion for wrestling and a dry sense of humour. As the opening quote of this article says, he looked for guts in a man before he would teach him, and admired fighters like Minoru Suzuki for the guts they had in competition. He preferred those who could walk the walk than talk the talk, and had a humorous saying of "Talk is cheap, but money buys whiskey!".
The legacy of Gotch is without question. Having trained a lot of first generation New Japan Pro Wrestlers that included Antonio Inoki, Yoshiaki Fujiwara, Satoru Sayama, Akira Maeda, and Tatsumi Fujinami, to the resulting lineage that produced Yori Nakamura, Erik Paulson, Greg Nelson, and the fighters they coach today on the Sayama side, to Masakatsu Funaki and Minoru Suzuki on the Fujiwara side coaching Ken and Frank Shamrock, Matt Hume and Bas Rutten in Pancrase and all the great names of the sport they have in turn coached (Ken Shamrock and the Lions Den, Frank Shamrock and AKA, Matt Hume and AMC Pankration, Bas Rutten and his own pancrase gyms).
The Promotions of Shooto, Pancrase, RINGS, and Pride could all be attributed to the influence of Gotch and played host to to many of the sport's early legends such as Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Fedor Emelianenko, and Kazushi Sakuraba.
Some of the landmark moments in MMA history have an element of the ripple effect Karl Gotch caused. Would there have even been a Ken Shamrock if not for the lineage of Gotch? Maurice Smith beating Mark Coleman was in part down to his training with Frank Shamrock, who had developed under his brother Ken and Minoru Suzuki. Bas Rutten becoming a well rounded fighter who could submit as well as strike started with Masakatsu Funaki training and cornering him from his first fight with Ken Shamrock in Pancrase. The rise of AKA in producing top flight contenders and even champions was in part to Bob Cook helping develop AKA as a coach, where Cook took over the grappling side from his teacher Frank Shamrock. Sean Sherk becoming the first UFC Lightweight champion of the modern era, with his long time coach of Greg Nelson, a CSW coach under Erik Paulson himself. The possible connections no matter how indirect are endless.
Gotch is unlikely to be remembered as well as the Gracies, despite efforts to the contrary. Victors often write the history books and the success of Rorian Gracie carrying his father Helio's take on Jiu Jitsu from obscurity to global permeation is remarkable. Helio Gracie deserves his own week of dedication, perhaps five years on from his passing in January 2009, though doing so would be expected. Gotch will likely remain an unsung forefather by comparison, but at least less unsung than he would have been.
The legacy and influence of Gotch has helped put Catch Wrestling on the map and made the various elements of Mixed Martial Arts more interesting, captivating and fruitful as a result, and I'm thankful and appreciative for the role he played as a catalyst for this wild and chaotic sport we know and love.
I'll leave you with perhaps Karl Gotch's last recorded interview, an informal video that's nearly an hour long called "My Cigar With Karl". Rest In Peace Karl Charles Istaz, gone but not forgotten.

Editorial: Protecting LGBT Rights. The Los Angeles Times editorial board discusses the importance of the passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and writes, "Democratic leaders in both houses should expedite consideration of the bill as this Congress nears its conclusion. If they don't, President Obama should press them to act. LGBT [sic] employees are still subjected to unequal treatment and harassment. Enacting ENDA is a moral as well as a political imperative."
Schwarzenegger Continues to Reject Prop 8 Appeal. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is holding firm in his refusal to defend the state's same-sex marriage ban in court. Lawyers for Schwarzenegger said in a letter last Wednesday (that was filed with the CA Supreme Court) that the governor has authority to refuse to appeal a federal judge's ruling that overturned Proposition 8. It came in response to an effort by a conservative legal group to persuade the court to force Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown to challenge the Aug. 4 ruling that declared the voter-approved ban unconstitutional. While Proposition 8's sponsors have appealed, questions have been raised about whether these sponsors have the authority to do so because as ordinary citizens they are not responsible for enforcing marriage laws.
Citizen Board: Atlanta Police Mistreated LGBT Bar Patrons. A citizen oversight panel said that action should be taken against a number of Atlanta Police officers for improperly detaining dozens of people at a gay bar raid. The raid took place in September 2009, when officers from the APD Vice Squad and Red Dog unit ordered patrons of the Atlanta Eagle gay bar to lie face down on the floor for up to an hour. Review Board Executive Director Cristina Beamud confirmed to CBS Atlanta in an e-mail that the board wants Atlanta Police officials to take action against the 24 officers involved in the raid. The board decided recommendations for disciplining specific officers should wait until investigators determine the exact roles of each officer. The board also said supervising officers should be disciplined for allowing the individuals in question to use profane and homophobic language during the raid.
Public Policy Watch
CA Judge Rules "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Unconstitutional. A federal judge in California said last Thursday that the U.S. military's ban on openly gay service members violates the Constitution, the most recent in a string of court rulings overturning restrictions on the rights of the country's gay men and lesbians. U.S. District Judge Virginia A. Phillips said the government's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy is a violation of due process and First Amendment rights. Instead of being necessary for military readiness, she said, the policy has a "direct and deleterious effect" on the armed services. Citing testimony at a two-week trial in July by experts and former service members, Phillips wrote, "All of these examples demonstrate that the act's restrictions on speech not only are broader than reasonably necessary to protect the government's substantial interests, but also actually serve to impede military readiness and unit cohesion rather than further these goals."
LGBT organizations plan September Lobby Days. On Sept. 15, the National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC) plans to hold a lobby day as part of its "Out on the Hill" gathering of national black LGBT leaders which runs through Sept. 18. In addition to the lobby day, the event is slated to include a White House briefing and community reception. Meanwhile, Servicemembers United (SU) will hold its fall "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" lobby day on September 16. The organization has described this event as being focused on the nuances of the DADT repeal amendment that is soon to be up for debate on the floor of the Senate. In addition, the leadership and staff of the Pentagon working group conducting the DADT repeal review will meet with a group of lesbian and gay military partners during SU's Military Partners Forum. The group also has a reception planned in conjunction with the event. For more information on these events please visit here and here.
ENDA: Requiring Fairness for All Employees. Maxine Eichner, Professor of Law at the University of North Carolina School of Law presents an Issue Brief, discussing how gaps in federal law leave many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender workers unprotected against workplace discrimination. Collectively, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, The Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, and disability, but federal law contains no explicit protection against discrimination based on LGBT status. Limited protection has been offered through some case law interpreting Title VII anti-discrimination and sexual harassment law, but for the most part, LGBT workers are forced to endure incomplete and inadequate protection based on state and local law, if they are lucky enough to live and work in jurisdictions where such protections exist at all. Professor Eichner expresses her view that passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) would help fill the void in legal protections. Read more about the brief here.
A Question from the Field
Dear Policy Matters,
I read in the Advocate that if Senator Reid doesn't schedule a vote for repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" by next week, lesbian, gay and bisexual service members are likely to wait another year before they see this discriminatory law rescinded. What can PFLAG members do now to make sure this law is once and forever repealed?
Thanks so much,
Dear Paul,
Thank you so much for your question. When Congress returns to Washington, D.C., next week, the full Senate will have its first opportunity in 17 years to do away with DADT when it votes on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which contains provisions that would allow for repeal of this law. Their legislative calendar looks crowded, and the window of opportunity to pass repeal will be narrow.
You are correct in noting that delaying action on "don't ask, don't tell" until after the midterms could potentially kill the measure for the year, which is why PFLAG and other repeal advocates are pushing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to schedule a Senate floor vote on the Defense funding bill next week September. We can only get this vote scheduled with your help by keeping up the pressure on both your senators until the Senate votes to end DADT.
Please take a few minutes today and call the capital switchboard at (202) 224-3121 today, and urge your senators to make passage of repeal legislation a top priority the week of September 20th. And ask them to urge their Joint Leadership -- Senators Reid and McConnell -- to schedule this vote.
A full Senate floor vote is one of the last major legislative hurdles that stands in the way of repeal. Unfortunately, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has been a vocal opponent of repeal from the start. He has indicated that he, along with other repeal foes, will pull out all the stops in coming weeks, from attempting to strike repeal language from the NDAA to offering weakening amendments or threatening to filibuster the entire defense budget.
We cannot let that happen.
If the defense budget bill doesn't move to the Senate floor by the end of this month, DADT repeal may not happen for several more years.
Call these key senators now. We need a repeal vote the week of September 20th.
• Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) (202) 224-3542
• Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) (202) 224-2541

The Myth Behind Public School Failure
To truly understand how we came to believe our educational system is broken, we need a history lesson. Rewind to 1980—when Milton Friedman, the high priest of laissez-faire economics, partnered with PBS to produce a ten-part television series called Free to Choose. He devoted one episode to the idea of school vouchers, a plan to allow families what amounted to publicly funded scholarships so their children could leave the public schools and attend private ones.
You could make a strong argument that the current campaign against public schools started with that single TV episode. To make the case for vouchers, free-market conservatives, corporate strategists, and opportunistic politicians looked for any way to build a myth that public schools were failing, that teachers (and of course their unions) were at fault, and that the cure was vouchers and privatization.
Jonathan Kozol, the author and tireless advocate for public schools, called vouchers the "single worst, most dangerous idea to have entered education discourse in my adult life."
I'm grumpy I can't promote from my phone. But read this!
Saying private education is better than a public education is like saying ketchup is a vegetable.

Computers and Drugs Working Together: The Present and Future of Neural Biotechnologies
by Mark Finnern
Related link: http://www.futuresalon.org/2004/07/computers_and_d.html
In this month's Future
Salon Drs. Chorost and Lynch will discuss the present state of neural technologies
for treating deafness and their likely future. Dr. Chorost will open by explaining
how the most advanced neurostimulation technology on the market, the cochlear
implant, enables the deaf to hear. Dr. Lynch will follow with a discussion of
pharmaceutical technologies which may actually prevent and cure deafness.
Thursday 12th of August 7-9pm: SAP Labs North America, Building D, Room
Southern Cross, 3410 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304 [map]
Free and open to the public.
A true cure for deafness is probably years away, but in the meantime computers
(that is, cochlear implants) and drugs (that is, pharmaceuticals) may soon work
together synergistically to produce far more effective treatments for deafness
than are available now. The speakers will go back and forth brainstorming on
how such a synergy might come about. The authors will supplement their talk
with fascinating photographs and animations to explain how these cutting-edge
technologies work. At the heart of their talk is the idea of the "cyborg",
the human being whose body is directly controlled by implanted computer technology
and pharmaceutical interventions.
About the Speakers
Dr. Chorost's new book, "Rebuilt: How A Computer Made Me More Human"
will be published by Houghton Mifflin in 2005. It is a memoir of his experience
going deaf and getting his hearing back with a cochlear implant, and discusses
at length its science and technology. He has a B.A. from Brown University and
a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. He currently works as a researcher
in educational technologies at SRI International in Menlo Park.
Dr. Lynch is Director of Research at Sound Pharmaceuticals in Seattle. He completed
his PhD at the University of California, Berkeley, where he mapped the first
human gene for hearing loss. During his post-doctoral studies at the University
of Washington, he served as a Research Assistant Professor in the Division of
Medical Genetics and helped to identify and characterize the first genes for
breast cancer and brain cancer. He co-founded Sound Pharmaceuticals in 2001
with the goal of creating drugs to prevent and reverse hearing loss.
Christopher Allen also comments,
that Mike is a great presenter:
I heard Mike at the last Sylvia's Cybersalon. He was a great speaker,
and his presentation was very effective. Plus he was sort of a live demo --
for instance, he would pull away the transceiver to his implant to show how
it was magnetically attached to his skin, or attach the input to a cell phone
to show how he can directly hear his cell phone (and ignore the rest of the
As usual, there will be a round of introductions at the beginning and big discussions
during the talk that will continue on over dinner somewhere in Palo Alto. Hope
you can make it.

Instead Of Calling 9-1-1
A GREENSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, WOMAN has been charged with DUI after deliberately smashing her car into an ambulance bay of the Mutual Aid Ambulance Service headquarters earlier this month. April Blotzer, 37, had her two toddlers ages 3 and 5 years with her when she took aim at the parked ambulances.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is reporting:
About 8 p.m. April 13, Blotzer drove into an open garage bay at the ambulance group's building on West Otterman Street in the Ludwick section, just missing employee Matthew Brantner, authorities said.
Two children, ages 3 and 5, were in Blotzer's 1999 GM Envoy at the time, police said.
Brantner said he jumped out of the way to avoid being struck. He yelled at the driver, and she said "the hospital wouldn't help her, so she figured if she would drive into some ambulances … someone would help her," according to court papers.
She backed out of the bay and drove into another open one, where her vehicle struck a Chevrolet Suburban parked inside, police said. Blotzer became confrontational with police, according to court papers.
She was charged yesterday with driving under the influence, endangering the welfare of children, recklessly endangering another person and resisting arrest.

text: Clemson fan here venturing to Athens this weekend for the UGA-SC game. I have purchased tickets and a Georgia car magnet, and I would like to buy a parking pass, but cannot find a moderately priced one. Could any of you fine folks direct me towards a pay lot? I'm not concerned with a long walk to the stadium but I would like to have enough room for a generator, DirectV dish and TV. Also, on a random note, is Red Dog Beer still around in the Athens area? Thanks very much.

So I'm on the verge of buying a fairly expensive (for me) racing bike...both bikes are tiagra/105 and both are pretty much untestable because they're online store bikes.
I'm unsure about the Schwinn frame (as previously posted) being the right size for me, it is a large frame and we compared the measurements of the large to my '05 Langster, and it seemed to be a good match, if not the same size. I know pretty much that the '05 Allez will be not much different from the '05 Langster frame as they're both from the same stable and of the same material. The Allez is the same size as my Langster.
On material, I'm concerned about the carbon seat stays on the Schwinn. The '05 Allez is all aluminum, apart from the forks. My Dad's an old school cyclist and doesn't trust carbon at all; he's saying that the bike won't last. Obviously, as the bike is an "entry level" model it's not something I have a lot of confidence in. Does anyone have experience with these seat stays on bikes that cost around £830 ($1,000)- I'm more than likely not going to be racing the bike (although that may change) and would like to do some endurance riding/just for fun kind of thing.
Price wise, the Allez Sport is £499 and the Fastback Comp is £535. These are both reduced bikes we're talking about.
Any help would be appreciated here, just looking for as many opinions as I can before I take the plunge...eeek.

Those pollarded willows again - in pastel
Another look at those pollarded willows. Behind me is the canal, just a few feet across the towpath and in front is Ulverscroft Brook. The dried grass of the winter field was pale in the bright light and the sky a pale cold blue. Late afternoon sun warms the sunlit side of the willows with an amber light.
The patch of darker blue sky on the top left is a shadow not part of the painting.

Beautiful, beautiful!! This is a favourite, Vivien. I love the wonderful warm light on the trunk, and the little patches of pure pigment are so unexpected but perfect. And the grasses .... I love it all. This one has to go in the show!

Hm, this works very well, Vivien. I like the spiky branches disecting the picture plane - they, combined with with beige grasses give a strong sense of movement. I like the splashes of colour: purple, dark red and the slate grey, the only thing I wondered was if they could be interlinked a bit more (on the left trunk at least?). The centre piece of pale blue water is an interesting one: in terms of comp it's so centrally positioned that it could be a bit disturbing. But it isn't. It makes a very intriguing centrepoint - possibly becasue the spikes keep pulling my attention away from the centre.

thanks Robyn :>)
Gesa I'll look at the interlinking - it was so strongly silhouetted that it was difficult to see
It's fun to take a compositional NO and make it work!

My only comment is: where is the "buy" button. ;) (as if I could afford it)
This is gorgeous. Great composition, strong contrasts. And I love the cool purples in the shadows.

I am an Israeli feminist writer and teacher with a wide variety of interests. My research is situated within several overlapping themes that include: the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, women in Israeli politics, gender and global governance, feminist security studies and rape as trauma of war. In my work I am especially interested in exploring the tensions between 'universal' and 'particularist' normative frameworks within transnational and national discourses about gender, peace and security.
Currently, I am a research fellow at the Leonard Davis Institute for International Relations, the Hebrew University as part of the LDI Gender Forum and am closely involved with the work done by the newly established Center for the Advancement of Women in the Public Sphere (WIPS) at the Jerusalem Van-Leer Institute. Part of the time I teach in the Department of International Relations at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem while working on independent research projects. In 2010-2012 I was a visiting Professor at the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies in the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and a postdoctoral fellow at the Hebrew University (2010).
My Ph.D. in Gender Studies (Bar-Ilan University 2009) documented the gender perspective and the participation of Israeli women in formal Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations. This research and others have been published in journals such as Sex Roles, International Sociology, Politics & Gender, Social Politics and Security Dialogue; and in a co-edited book (together with Rula Deeb) titled: 'Where Are All the Women? U.N. Security Council Resolution 1325: Gender Perspectives of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict' (2004).

MONROE, La., (KNOE 8 News) - Some area beekeepers spent an unusual two weeks in Guyana, South America recently.
Through the sponsorship of Partners of the Americas and the Farmer to Farmer Program, the group was involved in Project Beehive Management and Queen Bee Raising, in which they provided beekeeping training to the members of Trafalgar Union, a women's agricultural cooperative looking to expand their beekeeping operation.
Workshop sessions focused on several beehive management practices, including splitting hives, trapping wild swarms, and rearing queens. The group also conducted sessions with the Inter-American Association for Cooperation on Agriculture's (IICA) beekeeping group which included working with two Amer-Indian villages.
The Farmer to Farmer Program improves economic opportunities in rural areas of Latin America and the Caribbean by increasing food production and distribution, promoting better farm and marketing operations and conserving natural resources. The program is supported by Congress and the Agency for International Development (USAID) as part of the United States foreign assistance program. Farmer to Farmer brings together agricultural professionals and practitioners from the U.S. and the Caribbean. Volunteers from the U.S. work with farmers and agribusiness owners in Guyana, Haiti, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic to identify local needs and design projects to address them.
Founded in 1964, Partners of the Americas links U.S. states with Latin American and Caribbean countries in partnerships that use the energy and skills of citizen volunteers, their institutions and communities to address shared concerns of social, economic and cultural development. Its work covers areas as diverse as emergency preparedness, agriculture, cultural and educational exchange, domestic violence and local government strengthening. Partners is a private, nonprofit, non-partisan organization with international offices in Washington, D.C.

Run chat on your Nokia N73 with no need for upgrade
Here at GoMo Towers we're constantly flooded with requests from owners of the Nokia N73 asking for information on how they can run WhatsApp on their Symbian smartphone. You can't. So we did a bit of lateral thinking and realised that there's a perfectly good 'Chat' app that runs on any N73 without any modifications. It's called Wechat from Tencent. Here we show you how to do it.
First a little bit of background. Wechat has been created by China's Tencent which, as we reported here, is China Top Three best recognised brand.
You'll be in good company if you start to use WeChat because there are at least 300 million Chinese users and 100 million international users.
What's more, WeChat appears to have far more facilities than Whatsapp plus – this is the good news – it is also free.
Besides Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), WeChat supports a number of different languages.
English is one of them but so is Hindi, Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Malay, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Polish, Italian, Russian, and Turkish.
The version you will need for a Nokia N73 is for WeChat 4.2 for S60v5 which is for Symbian based handsets like the N73.
GoMo News has downloaded it and trust us, it very definitely works.
So how do you obtain the app (bearing in mind that the N73 does not support Wi-fi)?
The obvious way is to access the Nokia Ovi store via the mobile internet connexion on your N73. Then search for 'Wechat'.
This presupposes you have created a Nokia ID and then ensured that the Nokia site knows the model you are using (N73).
Alternatively, it should be possible to cut out the visit to the Nokia store by going directly to the Wechat web site. Try going here.
There is another option if you can get access to a Windows based PC, for example.
From the PC visit the Nokia store here. You should be able to see an option marked 'Download via PC'.
This option will be greyed out, however, if you haven't got your N73 connected to the PC via a USB connexion.
For this to work, you also need to have the Nokia Suite software installed and up and running on the PC.
Installing, the app from a PC is technically known as 'side-loading'.
If you have any problems with the PC informing you that the handset doesn't have a valid certificate, check that the handset's time and date are absolutely correct.
Having installed Wechat ourselves, we're going to test it and let you know what Wechat can't do but WhatsApp can.
We don't think there's much in it.

Historically, one of the top heart walks in the nation, the Bert Blain Memorial heart Walk drew hundreds out to Palmer Park on a rainy morning in Janesville.
And they rewarded when the rain stopped just before the 8:30 a.m. start time of the 20th annual event.
During those 20 years the people who have supported this heart walk have raised nearly $3 million.
And Blain Supply is among the top heart walk fundraising companies in America, raising $257,000 last year.

It sounds simple, I know, but it's relevant because of the Philadelphia 76ers' defensive strategy. All series long, they've sent hard traps at Paul Pierce and left Kevin Garnett open for perimeter shots. In the first three games, Garnett made the 76ers pay, hitting 14 of 20 shots from 16-23 feet. However, he was just 2-7 from that range in Game 4 and is just 1-5 so far in Game 5.
Leaving Garnett open from his sweet spot is a risky strategy, but if Garnett continues to fire blanks, it'll work out for Philadelphia.

This really was an excellent game, i would recommend it to anyone who hasn't already played it. There are loads of deifferent kinds of levels in the game and it never gets boring, N64 at it's best!

OMG i forgot about this game... yeah it was a pain in the ASS at times but it was a great game for N64 too bad we will never see it on Wii
Part of the reason I haven't downloaded any VC titles yet, was because I saved all of my gaming equipment. Heck, I even got Secret of Mana for the SNES (a rare game nowadays). I also have this title, which is why it won't bother me that it won't be coming to the Wii.Originally Posted by JeremyGTS
What have the rest of you done with your old consoles? Sold them/broke/still have them/lost them etc?
Mail me if you want to add me on either the Wii or the 360.
Most of them never owned them to start with. The N64 is ancient, while the Playstation is prehistoric.Originally Posted by Squall7
