text: British scientists call for global 'Sunpower' programme Technology 29 September 13 by Duncan Geere Tweet Solar PowerLangalex / CC BY-SA 2.0 A pair of prominent British scientists have called for a global programme to be set up to deliver solar power cheaper than fossil fuels with the ambitious deadline of 2025.In an article in the Observer, former chief scientific advisor to the British government David King and founder of the centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics Richard Layard have urged nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by making investments in a global solar energy scheme.The pair compare the scale of the challenge to the development of the atom bomb or sending a man to the moon. "Science rose to those challenges because a clear goal and timetable were set and enough public money was provided for the research. These programmes had high political profile and public visibility. They attracted many of the best minds of the age," say the pair. "The issue of climate change and energy is even more important and it needs the same treatment."Sunpower, as they call it, would make non-carbon energy competitive by shooting for scale. By 2025, they want 10 percent of the world's total energy supply generated by solar electricity, and 25 percent by 2030."Unlike fossil fuel, solar produces no pollution and no miners get killed. Unlike nuclear fission, it produces no radioactive waste. It harnesses the power of the sun, which is the ultimate source of most energy on Earth. And it can strike the imagination of a people and therefore of their politicians."The pair admit there are two main challenges - the first is to make it available 24 hours a day, when the sun isn't shining. That'll require a big breakthrough in electricity storage. The second is reducing the cost of transmitting energy from areas with lots of sun and cheap land to the large population centres of the world."Better storage requires major breakthroughs in the science of batteries; better transmission requires new materials that are much better at conducting electricity without loss of power. In all these cases, the solution requires new disruptive technologies," King and Layard say. "A central role of governments is to promote new public knowledge. Surely the most important knowledge of all is how to preserve human life as we know it."

Four supervisors from Crestview Hills-based Fischer Homes were arrested and 76 alleged undocumented immigrants were rounded up by federal athorities today and brought before a federal magistrate in Covington after a sweep of Fischer construction sites in Northern Kentucky.
Fischer construction manager Timothy Copsy, superintendents Doug Witt and William Allison and assistant superintendent Bill Ring were all arrested and charged with aiding and abetting and harboring illegal aliens for commercial advantage or private financial gain. They could each face up to 10 years in prison and/or $250,000 fines. The defendants made their initial appearances Tuesday morning in federal court in Covington.
There were three sites swept in the operation in Hebron, Union and Florence.
The alleged immigrants were charged with entering the country illegally - a misdemeanor punishable with six months in jail. They are not eligible for bond.
They were given public defenders and sent before the magistrate judge Gregory Wehrman in groups of 10 at a time. The process was supposed to last until 7 p.m. today.
After appearing before Wehrman, 66 of the defendants will be sent to the Boone County jail in Burlington, while the rest will be taken to the Grant County jail in Williamstown.
The defendants were working as laborers for Fischer Homes, according to a release from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"Today's case is another tough step in our targeted and aggressive enforcement of our immigration laws within the interior of the United States," said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff in a written statement.
"We will continue to bring criminal actions against employees who are consistently harboring illegal aliens. We will stop this type of illegal facilitation," he said.
Some Fischer employees went to lunch today and when they returned, were unable to get back into the office. A police officer guarded the buildings first-floor elevator.
In a statement released this afternoon, Robert Hawksley, chief operating officer of Fischer Homes, said the company does not condone the hiring of illegal immigrants.
Fischer Homes is a reputable homebuilder of strong moral philosophy, the written statement said.
We have been building quality homes in the Tri-state area for more than 25 years. We have a great team of people who share in our philosophy and help to make us the great organization we are today. We are extremely proud of our reputation and our customer satisfaction record. We work hard to earn it - every day."
The statement said Fischer Homes utilizes a rigorous screening process for all of its employees, including citizenship verification. The statement said the company required all subcontractors to sign a document promising they will use no illegal aliens as employees.
"Fischer Homes does not, in any way, condone the hiring or use of illegal immigrants," Hawksley wrote. "We support all governmental employment regulations, and we stand by our hiring procedures.
"We are proud of our Fischer Homes team, and we will continue to operate according to the legal and ethical traditions we have established.

Is looking like a fairly legitimate prospect. He didn't show power in his first season, but hit a ton of doubles as a 23 year old this year at Lynchburg. Since his promotion to Altoona he hasn't kept the power, but he is still hitting and has a decent walk rate. He is on an eight game hitting streak while he is 13/29 (all singles) and three walks.
Basically, there are two questions I want to ask in this post: can he play second base and is his bat legit? He is playing third now, but WTM still has him listed as a second baseman--just didn't update this or is there something behind it? I know there has been a lot of worry about his defense, but qualitatively (with the exception of range, maybe), I feel second base is easier to play than third. His bat would be more valuable at second and he'd have an easier path to the majors.
Does he hit the ball hard? Is he athletic enough to possibly improve with the glove? I just haven't seen him play, and if I try to think about the 2010 roster I'd love to put him at 2B. Is this feasible?

Bonus point win keeps slim play-off hopes alive
8:00am Wednesday 9th April 2014 in Sport
Western Counties West
Burnham 26, Penryn 12
BURNHAM's slim hopes of making the play-offs remain intact after a 26-12 bonus point victory over Penryn on Saturday.
Mike Hocking, Tom Chaffey, Sam Coles and a penalty try ensured Burnham took maximum points from the game, while Piper kicked three conversions.
Following a period of prolonged early pressure, the referee awarded a penalty try for a fourth consecutive scrum infringement.
This gave Burnham the impetus they needed and after another period of domination, Mike Hocking athletically gathered on Penryn's 22 and proceeded to smash his way through four tackles before reaching the line - Piper converted.
Burnham were now prepared to attack at any opportunity and after a long probing kick from Vunipola, Burnham reclaimed the ball and recycled it twice, allowing Piper's deft little kick to provide Tom Chaffey the chance to race over the line.
On the stroke of halftime, Penryn's forwards at last managed to gain some worthwhile possession and rumbled over en bloc.
Nothing much can be said about the next 30 minutes until at last Burnham managed to shake off the shackles, as Sam Coles charged down a kick before showing blinding speed and race in for a fourth try.
After a succession of penalties, Penryn finally created an overlap to score out wide - but Burnham were rarely troubled from this point on.
Burnham are home to Bude his Saturday (April 12), 3pm kickoff.

You all know the routine. Man drinks whiskey, man watches fights, man thinks he's the best booker on the planet.
On with it!
For Jake Ellenberger, the man of the hour who didn't sucker-punch Jake Shields when Shields was trying to apologize, I think his puts him on the championship-tier. He's just won five in a row over great competition, and did what Carlos Condit, Dan Henderson, and Georges St. Pierre couldn't do. He finished Jake Shields. Pyle-Howard-Rocha-Pierson-Shields could be good enough for a title fight, but I say give him the winner of Koscheck-Hughes, and if he wins, he gets a SHITLE TOT!
For Jake Shields, even though I've never liked the guy, I feel for him and he needs a second chance. The UFC trajectory is absolutely perfect for a fight with Paulo Thiago after his massive career-jump in Brazil. I watch his entrance every day, by the by, and he plays it so cool. Shields vs. Thiago is excellent, and it makes the second most sense out of this entire rant behind....
.....Alan Belcher vs. Rousimar Palhares! Honest to Christ, when I was thinking of who to pair Belcher with, I fucking giggled with glee like a goddamn girl scout selling her first box of Thin Mints when I thought of Paul. Don't forget, Belcher was supposed to main-event a Fight Night against Maia before his eye problems. The winner gets into the title mix easily and has a Leben, Stann, Sonnen, Okami, Bisping, Miller, Maia, or Munoz on the way.
For Erik Koch, he's still one fight away from a shitle tot. Chad Mendes has been the number-one contender for some time and has dibs. So for him, he gets his choice of either the Aldo-Florian loser, the Quan/Elkins winner, of if he really wants a high-profile fight, he can wait for the Hominick-Jung winner. Or he could try his hand against Mike Brown or the Phan-Garcia winner. Either way, I see Koch as the #2 contender behind Mendes, so it's on him.
Evan Dunham got back to his winning ways in a fantastic scrap with Shamar Bailey. He couldn't finish him, which is troubling. A fight against someone that will take the fight to him like Edson Barboza, Jim Miller, or Ross Pearson would be awesome.
Ken Stone saved his job, and the oft-concussed ATT gymnast should either have a fight against Raphael Assunção or Yves Jabuoin
TJ Waldburger needs to fight Erick Silva and that's that.
Since the UFC likes to protect their TUF winners, I don't know what they want to do with Court. They could play it kinda safe and give him a Constantinos Philippou, or maybe they dial it up with a Dan Miller. Maybe they find a middle ground with Jorge Rivera or a Ring/Boetsch loser. Perhaps Ed Herman?

Captain Paul G. Forsberg first served as a mate on his father, Carl Forsberg's, boat fleet, where he worked until 1951. At the age of 12, he bought his first 24-foot boat, which he used to practice cruising the waters of Montauk. Today, he owns and serves as the head captain on his father's Viking Fleet, working alongside a team of captains that includes his son and two grandsons. They ship passengers around the waters of Massachusetts and New York aboard a fleet of four private and commercial fishing boats, a high-speed ferry, and a cruise and whale-watching ship—many of which Captain Paul designed himself.
Captains may showcase local skylines, point out passing whale pods, or drag-race the Flying Dutchman aboard the Viking Starship, a 140-foot cruise ship with a climate-controlled cabin and seating on two outdoor decks. The custom-designed high-speed ferry Viking Superstar transports passengers, their bicycles, and surfboards across the water to Block Island, New London, and Martha's Vineyard. Anglers occupy ships including the Viking Star, Gulfstar, wooden Stariper, and sail-assisted Freedom on day and nighttime fishing trips, taking advantage of onboard gear and sleeping quarters where the crew stays up and talks about which boats are the prettiest.
Jim Scoggins first felt the rocking of a ship's deck in the 1950s on the rolling waters of Lake Champlain. Though he traveled south and found himself in healthcare administration for the next few decades, he never lost the passion for sailing—and eventually returned to New England to conquer more waves in the 1980s. With Sail the Sounds LLC established at three local ports, Captain Jim now uses his original sailing craft, an O'Day 39, as part of his training and charter fleet. He and his wife, Teresa, helm an ASA-certified training center, charter service, and cruising club to set guests out on the sparkling waters of Mystic River and Mystic Harbor. Captains pilot three Hunter yachts for chartered trips, as well as six Hunter 240 sailboats for captain rentals, sailing-club events, and classes teaching technique for keelboats, coastal navigation, and safely chartering parties of water-fearing cats.

USA Today on the Draco and Harry RivalryHBP Film
"Whereas Malfoy's becoming a fully fledged evil person, Harry is
maturing into this real fighter," says Radcliffe. "He's not a boy
anymore, he's a soldier who knows what he has to do. He's set himself
goals, along with Dumbledore. I see Harry becoming Dumbledore's
favorite foot soldier in this film."
So says actor Dan Radcliffe in the USA Today, echoing remarks made to TLC earlier tonight during our live broadcast of the premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In the newspaper article, the piece features an longer interview with both Dan and actor Tom Felton who weighs in on his character Draco Malfoy.
Director David Yates also speaks to the look of Draco Malfoy in Half-Blood Prince saying:
"He's been given a task to obtain the same greatness as Harry has, working for the other side," says Felton. "He thinks he's going to do it, and he revels in the chance to be the chosen one, if you will. He likes to think he's equally strong-willed as Harry, and whatever Harry can do, he can do better. But deep down, he knows he can't do it. There's a real conflict of emotions." Felton relishes the spotlight. He particularly enjoys playing Draco as a conflicted character, torn between his ambition and some trace of inherent decency. His icy parents have bred him to follow in their ominous footsteps, but he's filled with dread."If you're feeling sorry for him, then I've done my job," says Felton.
"I really liked the notion of Malfoy dressing quite smartly," says Yates. "His father (Lucius Malfoy) is a bit of a dapper dresser, too, and Draco's tailored clothes just give him a really singular iconic shape. It's part of this aging of their world. He cuts a figure. In class, they still wear uniforms. Out of class, they start to express themselves, or their aspirational selves."Draco is particularly solitary in this film, sans his slavish sidekicks, Crabbe and Goyle. His hair is longer and more stylish, and he no longer has much use for the teacher he most admired, Severus Snape (Alan Rickman)He has a job to do, and he seeks to prepare for it — without help.
Dan Radcliffe also gives his thoughts on the growing role Harry must take on in this film and the next, stating:
"Whereas before Harry's idea of things was always kind of vague and idealized, this time Dumbledore sits him down and says, 'Look, if we're going to do this, there are some things we're going to need to do, and you are going to help me.' And Harry's more than willing to," Radcliffe says. "This is not child's play. This is adult time now."
Thanks, Jackie!

Vikes wont make any cuts before March 4
Right now, were going to keep our roster status quo, Spielman said, per Tom Pelissero of 1500espn.com. I dont anticipate any moves. Again, thats always etched in oatmeal. Dont anticipate anything happening.
Re: Vikes wont make any cuts before March 4
I listened to him on Sirius twice over the past 2 weeks. Sounds like their focus is to resign as many of their own as they can and then plug in draft guys off the bench as well as picks from this year to round out the roster.
Sure doesn't sound like alot of FA movement will happen, again, based on what he has said.
Some of the articles out there kindof track with that as well.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.

You may have noticed that I kind of have a thing for deer. I've used this graphic on a lot of stuff, from blankets to t-shirts. When I saw this art project on Lowe's Creative Ideas online magazine, I knew it I needed some deer silhouettes on plywood!
Source: lowescreativeideas.com via Brooke on Pinterest
I had some 1/4 inch plywood scraps in my garage, so I got to work! This project is super easy, and pretty self explanatory. I printed out my design onto some cardstock and cut it out with an exacto knife. Using spray adhesive, I attached my deer to my pre-stained plywood, then sprayed over it with red spraypaint.
It's still rustic, what with the design and the wood grain, yet modern at the same time with the clean lines and glossy red paint. After I peeled up the painted-over cardstock, they looked like some really nice stickers. So, I popped them onto an old sign, and doubled my impact!
Here's what the sign started out like, before I spray painted it brown.
It's just your typical hobby store plaque, and I wasn't really sold on the design. I liked the scrolls, but since I'm not really a believer in the whole "my partner is my BEST FRIEND EVER!" idea, I wanted to change it. I like this much better

Juventus have failed to win any of their opening four Champions League group games, leaving them bottom of Group B heading into matchday five. Fortunately for the bianconeri, Real Madrid are six points clear of everyone at the top of the table, and such has been their dominance, Juventus would likely move up into second place with a win over Copenhagen on Wednesday.
That's because they're only a point in arrears of both Copenhagen and Galatasaray, and it's hard to see the Turkish giants picking up anything away at the Bernabéu. Likewise, Copenhagen may have managed to hold Juve to a draw at home, though it's unlikely they'll repeat the feat in Turin.
However, Copenhagen will take some heart from the lengthy injury list Antonio Conte currently has to contend with. Arguably the biggest misses for Juventus will be wing-back Stephan Lichtsteiner, with the utility man Martín Cáceres hardly an ideal replacement. Andrea Barzagli's absence should see Angelo Ogbonna play in the back three, while attacker Sebastian Giovinco is ruled out with a foot injury.
Juventus injuries and suspensions
Out: Mauricio Isla (knee), Simone Pepe (thigh), Stephan Lichtsteiner (thigh), Sebastian Giovinco (foot), Andrea Barzagli (thigh). In doubt: None.
FC Copenhagen injuries and suspensions
Out: None. In doubt: None.
Projected lineups
Juventus: Gianluigi Buffon; Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Angelo Ogbonna; Kwadwo Asamoah, Paul Pogba, Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal, Martín Cáceres; Fernando Llorente, Carlos Tévez.
FC Copenhagen: Johan Wiland; Pierre Bengtsson, Ragnar Sigurðsson, Olof Mellberg, Lars Jacobsen; Youssef Toutouh, Thomas Delaney, Claudemir de Souza, Rúrik Gíslason; Daniel Braaten, Nicolai Jørgensen.

It has been a long haul, and Kiera Wilmot just got the news she has been waiting for. The Polk School District is not going to expel her, and it is letting her go back to Bartow High this fall.
"I was just like, yes!" she told FOX 13 shortly after getting an e-mail with the school districts decision.
Kiera has been attending an alternative school since she mixed aluminum foil and toilet bowl cleaner in a bottle on the campus of Bartow High and it popped.
She was arrested, and gained international notoriety after the incident. In retrospect, she says she has learned a lot.
"To be careful what you do on campus and off campus," she said.
Eventually, the case was dropped. Her attorney says he still has more work to do. He wants to clear his client's name so the incident will not be a mark against her when she applies for college.

The City of Calistoga has pumped the last drop of drinking water it can from its main reservoir. No rain this winter would mean no water at all from behind the Kimball Dam next summer.
"We're offline," Public Works Director Mike Kirn said last week. "We haven't been taking water from Kimball because it's so low since the middle of October."
The reservoir is down to just about 10 percent of its capacity. The City Council has been asking residents for voluntary restrictions on water use since September, and Kirn may ask for more stringent measures later this month.
Calistoga is one of several municipalities in the area struggling to keep small local water systems functioning in the wake of a record dry year across most of the state. The city of Willits has fewer than 100 days worth of supply and is considering mandatory restrictions. Cloverdale is scrambling to draft an ordinance allowing mandatory restrictions in case the Sonoma County Water Agency is forced to continue cutting flows into the Russian River to preserve dwindling supply in Lake Mendocino.
Water systems throughout Sonoma County are preparing to roll out a coordinated water conservation campaign this week, unheard of during the winter months, in an effort to stretch out supply in Lake Sonoma, which has only about a year's worth of water left before the agency would need to begin rationing.
But unlike water systems in Sonoma and Mendocino counties, Calistoga and the other water systems in Napa County have a lifeline: a tie in to the State Water Project, the vast network of reservoirs, pipelines and canals that supplies water to 25 million Californians and 750,000 acres of farmland.
A 26-mile pipeline connects to the project east of Fairfield and runs through the City of Napa system and provides water to Calistoga and St. Helena. It means that Napa Valley residents can be sure water will continue to flow even as the supply in their patchwork of local reservoirs dwindles.

This comprehensive book documents and pictures every nationally advertised radio receiver and the major accessories sold by RCA during that first decade, with nearly 700 color photos of apparatus, magazine ads and promotional literature. While the focus of the book is on receiver apparatus, the historical context is also provided, sometimes with a unique spin on historical events, gleaned from extensive research of material from museum archives and other obscure documents. The author has relied almost entirely on original documents and contemporaneous articles, citing over 470 references. The history buff will find new and interesting information here not only on RCA but also on the companies that produced apparatus for them, including GE, Westinghouse, Wireless Specialty Apparatus, and Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co., as well as companies that used RCA radios and amplifiers in their own products, including Victor Talking Machine Co., Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. and Graybar Electric Company. This book is an essential reference for the library of radio historians and collectors alike.

The IR rule and Redskins running backs
Had the owners' proposed IR rule change been approved, the Redskins could have put Hightower on injured reserve and still been able to bring him back for the second week of the season. Under the current rule, which is not changing, a player put on IR before the start of the season is out for the year. Can the Redskins afford to keep all four backs on the roster if two of them aren't going to be healthy to start the season? (Answer is no.)

Man, what the hell did we just watch? The first teaser trailer for Andrew Stanton's "John Carter" has arrived and it's immaculately put together, features grand sweeping vistas and impressive special effects, is scored by Peter Gabriel's cover of Arcade Fire's "My Body Is A Cage" and we have no fucking clue what it's about.
The film is an adaptation of author Edgar Rice Burroughs' "John Carter of Mars" book series about a Civil War soldier who is transported to Mars and embarks on alien adventures. Okay, fine. But the trailer makes no connection between the period setting open, in which our lead character's uncle dies and then the fantastical Mars stuff which looks pretty grand, but without context, comes off as a weird hybrid of "Harry Potter," "Immortals," and "Cowboys & Aliens." And while Taylor Kitsch, the film's lead, remains front and center, we don't see much of the rest of the extensive cast which includes Samantha Morton, Dominic West, Polly Walker, Willem Dafoe, Lynn Collins, Bryan Cranston, Ciaran Hinds, James Purefoy, Thomas Haden Church, Mark Strong and Daryl Sabara.
So yeah, we're intrigued but also confused. Looks great, but we'd like some of the filling too. "John Carter" will hit theaters on March 9, 2012. Check out the full trailer and synopsis below. The HD version arrives this afternoon on Apple. [YouTube]
John Carter is a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). John Carter is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.

Pumped for this
Jarrett | July 14, 2011 12:42 PM
He looks like He Man in that costume..
TheoC | July 14, 2011 6:02 AM
I like it, it's less pulpier than I imagined but for an effects heavy movie the trailer doesn't feel rushed. They probably could have left the Sarbara stuff out of the trailer as I'm sure it's only at the start and possibly at the end of the first book, but maybe they want people to think 'oh Potter or Narna'. The Tharks (are they the jar jar ones?) are the most disappointing they have a touch of Green Lantern about them and I don't like his outfit, but this is not what I was expecting and that might be a good thing.
Non related but Sci-Fi I read Gravity last week, that will be very cool.
BuntyHoven | July 14, 2011 4:38 AM
Kevin: Wasn't complaining that it looks "unrealistic," just that it looks cheap. With all the rest of the film looking like some epic fantasy, why does Mars looks like Arizona?
rotch | July 14, 2011 4:36 AM
This looks all kinds of great. I actually applaud the low-rent Mars. I always thought they were heading for a green-screen environment. Glad to see characters occupying a real space.
Rob | July 14, 2011 4:34 AM
It's pretty clearly Daryl Sabara, not "our lead character," who is being told that his uncle is dead. Kitsch appears to be the kid's uncle, and obviously hasn't died, but has just been transported to Mars and is presumed dead back on Earth. The connection between those two elements seemed pretty clear to me, am I alone?
Ray Ha | July 14, 2011 4:26 AM
I read the three books out of anticipation for this about two years ago. It was a fun read and the material should make for a good time at the movies.
I agree with BuntyHoven though. It looks like it could take place on Earth, aside from the shot of the green alien. They don't even mention Mars at all. It's now pretty clear why they renamed it to "John Carter" - they don't want people to know!
I expected Lynn Collins' character to look redder though I guess it doesn't surprise me they wanted the female lead to look human. I also expected the Tharks (the green aliens) to look more intimidating. They seem kind of skinny here.
Mark | July 14, 2011 4:26 AM
Bad acting and dialogue. Cool visuals though.
Glass | July 14, 2011 4:16 AM
Andrew Stanton doing anything in any capacity, let alone a live-action picture = I'm sold. Odd trailer, though.
K West | July 14, 2011 4:14 AM
The movie comes out in 8 months. It's a teaser. Your not suppose to get complete plot details in a teaser. You just get some images that hopefully will make you say "wow" that looks cool. I want to see some more. You know, a tease.
Bash | July 14, 2011 4:08 AM
Stylish trailer but my concern is that we may have another Green Lantern on our hands.
Cory Everett | July 14, 2011 3:56 AM
I dunno about this one yet, you guys. I usually flip for this kind of thing but best part of the trailer for me was the song. Visuals/story I'm not so sure about...
Kevin Jagernauth | July 14, 2011 3:49 AM
BuntyHoven | July 14, 2011 3:48 AM
Looks interesting, to say the least. But Mars looks a bit low-rent. Looks like the American West - shouldn't it be a bit redder?
fanny bunz | July 14, 2011 3:35 AM
very, very cool.
Abner | July 14, 2011 3:28 AM
That trailer was the Lynn and Taylor show for good reason. *Gotta* have a love affair amid your intergalactic Joseph Campbell saga thing.
Looks rad.
Edward Davis | July 14, 2011 3:22 AM
Damn, nerds are gonna FLIP for that and folks like us -- i too have no fuckin clue what this is on about are like, "damn, no clue what this is about, but looks impressive."

In the main event at UFC on Fuel 4, Chris Weidman completely dominated Mark Munoz to move into the upper tier of the UFC middleweight division. The five-round bout was expected to be fairly even, but Weidman wasted no time getting the fight to the ground and never gave Munoz and room to breathe. He wasn't able to finish the fight in the first, but the second was a different story.
After a quick takedown, Munoz popped up and attempted to strike with Weidman. As he came forward for an apparent takedown attempt, Munoz ate a picture-perfect elbow that dropped him like a sack of poopy, leaking blood from his forehead. Some 16 punches on the ground were finally enough for referee Josh Rosenthal to stop the fight, even though Munoz was unconscious at about 11 or so.
What was the high spot of this fight?
The elbow. It wasn't quite clear to everyone at first, which is understandable since it was so fast. Munoz just collapsed to the mat and Weidman went in for the kill.
Where do these guys go from here?
Weidman could possibly be heading for a UFC middleweight title shot against Anderson Silva, but my humble opinion is that he'll get one more fight first. I think he should fight Vitor Belfort, but differing opinions have him fighting all sorts of top-10 fighters. One thing is clear though - Chris Weidman is one of the best middleweights in the world.
Who knows where Munoz goes from here. He went from a probable title shot to the hospital, getting a bunch of stitches. Personally, I'd like to see him face the loser of the Hector Lombard vs. Tim Boetsch fight at UFC on Fox 4 next.
Watch it now, later or never?
Right now. Like, NOW. You'll never see a top-contender bout this one-sided ever again.

How to log on to multiple Facebook accounts simultaneously on Chrome browser
There are many instances where logging on to multiple Facebook accounts becomes a necessity. Say for example, you have an official Facebook account that you use for work, along with your own personal account. Usually, what people do is log in and out between these accounts, or use two separate browsers (Chrome and Firefox).
But what if you need to access more than two Facebook accounts at once? Even using two Facebook accounts at once can be quite a messy situation. But thankfully, there's a handy little Chrome extension called 'Identity Mask' that lets you run multiple accounts (on Facebook, Twitter, G+ and the like) without having to sign-in/sign out or use different browsers.

Less than 17 months after its opening, a used furniture studio on Erie Avenue has closed its doors.
Once & Again Studio, which opened June 27, 2012, ended up being unprofitable, according to Bill Drinkwine, who with wife Deb Drinkwine owned the store. It was slated to have its last day of business Nov. 9.
"The cost of doing business was greater than we could earn," Bill Drinkwine said, summing up the reason the family decided to close up shop.
"Our problem was — the product was good, the accessibility for material was good ... but we couldn't get the volume [of sales] to meet the cost of doing business."
The Drinkwines had planned to convert the second story of the building at 553 Erie Ave. into two two-bedroom apartments. The second story has been reframed and some rough wiring has been done, said Bill Drinkwine.
The main showroom had been remodeled before the store's opening, and a second showroom, originally a bare storage area, had been finished this summer to match the first one.
The Drinkwines intend to sell the building now. At 7,350 square feet, it's listed with Pacesetters Real Estate, where Deb Drinkwine is a real estate agent, for $149,900.
The owner of Los Gallos nightclub on West Market Street is in the middle of renovations on a building on East Market Street he hopes to turn into an ice cream shop.
Juan Carlos Aguirre, who with his sons is stripping down the inside of the building at 524 E. Market St., said he finalized the purchase of the building in August and expects to spend the next 8 to 10 months remodeling it before getting ready to open.
Aguirre said in Spanish he and his sons are still making plans for the ice cream shop, and don't yet have an idea of when they will plan to open it.
County property records indicate the building formerly housed Kreuzberger Jewelers and Cardinal Office Products at different times. Its two-story front portion spans about 1,050 square feet per floor, and the rear utility/storage area encompasses about 1,410 square feet.
State property sales records indicate Aguirre bought the building for $11,000.

In not a small way
There's a place in the house where several pictures of Sofia are beautifully displayed.
At times I strategically place other photo frames in front. And at other times I sit and stare and it's a knife through my heart.
Tonight I am caught off guard and it hits me, nearly a physical feeling of panic and pain. And, of course, the tears flow.
And in this moment I glance at Baby who just moments before is sleeping peacefully and she now stares at me intently with a big smile and begins to coo.
It's almost as if she tells me Momma, you're OK. I am here to make you feel better.
Her big eyes envelope me in pure love and are an unceasing reminder of the faith I hold.
In not a small way, she has saved me.

Thank you for sharing this Sheri and letting wear your shoes for a brief moment. I don't know what the purpose of grief is, but it is how we are built, to mourn and ache for those not here. I wish, I'm sure all your friends and family do, that we could take some of it from you, so you could carry less of it. Grief is a facet of motherhood, this way of carrying our children, housing them, no matter where they are in the universe. Sending love to you and Sofia right now, as always.

It was not blissful like yesterday's, but in a way it was almost better, because more rational--the mental connections were clicking into place like crazy...
1. I was in the mood to put in practice Dr. Rod Havriluk's cues--the arched back, the feet close to the surface, the arm bent at a right angle when it's directly beneath the torso and especially the smooth and strong transition to the push part of the stroke--and it was excellent, there was some drill work written into the sets also and for most of practice I felt really strong and powerful in the water, it was great.
2. Interval training! It is the first time I really properly have done a workout with rest for ages, and I suddenly really felt that it was going to sink in to my body in a different way--Wendy will be laughing and rolling her eyes, because we have emailed about this about fifty million times, rationally I know rest is important and part of my frustration at morning workouts has been swimming with people faster than me who do not take any rest, so that I am both working too hard and not getting at all the right rest between. But today on the set of 25s I really, really felt it, and it was quite amazing. (Mentally primed for it, I expect, by reading about the FIRST marathon training program the other day and contemplating whether it would be worth trying.) OK, my swimming is going to get a lot better.
(3. A series of conversations, including one today with the coach, has more or less persuaded me that for the May race swimming speed scarcely matters--an incremental improvement in speed that I have to fight for will hardly make any difference to my total race time, it's just the way the swim plays out at the half-iron distance as opposed to bike and run. Everybody reading this will already thought of this, but :10 or :15 difference per 100 still is barely three minutes benefit--lots of other easier ways to get three minutes. But that does not stop me from feeling that it is rather my heart's desire to get to be a better and faster swimmer, so I am going to still keep swimming as much as possible and try and get especially just very strong and comfortable in the water, so that aside from questions of people hitting me in the head because of it being a triathlon open-water swim, this not really being what swimming in the pool will help me with, it really will in any case benefit me to feel very positive about doing the first segment of the race with high comfort levels and relatively low effort.)
Too many hours ago now, I cannot remember the intervals as they were assigned and as I did them. We got started late, so I only did around 1900, not as long as yesterday. But I really, really enjoyed it. Lane to myself again, it really let me concentrate on the important stuff.
Warmup: 200 (100 swim, 50 drill, 50 kick), 3 x 200 (150 swim, 50 back)
Set #1: 24 x 25 stroke (coach said concentrate on two strokes only, so as to get benefit of moving through sequence, so I did 3 free and 3 fly for each, it was super-enjoyable!), 6 underwater on :50, 6 kick on :50, 6 drill on :45, 6 swim on :40 (times were something like this anyway I think)
Set #2 (only did part, would have been 4 x and then another couple small sets also, but we only had about 53 minutes altogether): 2 x 250 as 250 catchup-swim-catchup-swim-catchup by 50s, 250 finger-drag drill then swim by 125s.
Slightly evil, but I took it very steadily and it is of course highly beneficial for the wretched stroke...
I already feel the mental and physical benefits (possibly I am deluding myself, but the sensation is strong!) of having had a week with three highly suitable swim workouts with a coherent rationale. I love it...

Hooray for intervals!!!!
For the race in May you are aspiring to more effective swimming (which inevitably leads to faster swimming) but with less effort.

How Does Guided Meditation Promote Spiritual Growth?
Spiritual Growth
Guided meditations can lead your imagination on a particular journey, which has the purpose of allowing you to achieve meaningful realizations and experience profound healing through purposeful reflection and contemplation. You can engage in guided meditation by letting someone read the meditation to you, listening to professional CDs, and reading the words onto a recorded and playing it back afterwards. The main idea is to let of strenuous thoughts that you have and allow your subconscious mind to follow the exact words you have spoken.
Basics of guided meditation
The simplest guided meditations will allow you to experience deep relaxation, use surplus energy, and release negative emotions that prevent you from experiencing further enlightenment. They allow you to experience deep relaxation in such a way that you can uncover the feelings and experiences that remain hidden in remote areas of your mind. It also allows your conscious mind to sleep, which releases experiences from your subconscious and encourages you to acknowledge them. This will allow you to replace negative thoughts with positive ones in a way that will positively affect your self-confidence.
During guided meditation, you need to engage in deep breathing and adjust your posture before you finally go into a deep state of relaxation. After each session, you will experience profound signs of healing as you reach a state of deep remuneration. Those who are still unsure of the script they wish to use can also start by listening to some of the meditation samples on line. As you practice guided meditation regularly, you will start feeling more relaxed and you will be capable of dealing with stress with greater ease. You will also feel a deeper connection with your spiritual safe, thus bringing back the balance to your life.
Elements of guided meditation
Most of the techniques that people incorporate into their guided meditation practice are non-denominational. This gives the activity a universal appeal and makes it perfect for anyone who wishes to establish a deeper connection his or her spiritual self. Relaxation, the first element of guided meditation, is important for relieving the stress on your soul, mind, and body. It will also make you feel more open to advanced spiritual growth by making you feel complete at ease with what you are doing. Scene or reflection, the heart of any guided meditation, then allows your body, mind, and soul to merge into a being of harmony.
As you use reflections, affirmations, and scenes during guided meditation, you also get the chance to strengthen your body and advance your spiritual growth. The affirmations are followed by the count out or return, the meditation prepares your soul and body to re-enter your day-to-day activities. After each session, you will finally feel energized, peaceful, and ready to face whatever challenges the world may throw your way. Whichever guided meditation you choose, it will never fail to unify your soul and body while eliminating the negative energies surrounding them.

A few readers already pointed this out on the last comment thread, but I figured it still deserves its own post: Mario Gomez has signed a long-term extension that will keep him at FC Bayern at least through the end of the 2016 season. The high-volume (but sometimes controversial) striker expressed happiness at the deal, and says he's fully committed to the club.
I guess the remaining questions would include:
(1) does this seal Olic's exit to Wolfsburg, despite his great performance yesterday?
(2) can Mario refine his game to be a little more dangerous outside of 15 yards, and/or to be paired with another true striker? and
(3) now that we've locked up our striker and got some reinforcements at wing (Shaqiri), what are we going to do at the back? Dante is said to be "all but confirmed" - is he really coming, and is that the extent of our defensive reinforcement?
Anyway, those are long-term questions. For now, we've got Gomez locked up and we're looking ahead to Augsburg this weekend. If you're in the mood, weigh in with your thoughts on this deal or on other moves Bayern should be considering in the comment section. Thanks for reading.

His dunk last season vs. Anthony Tolliver (see photo) was considered the best one on one dunk of the year by most NBA fans. I have a feeling that Amare is going to have a little more hop in his step for this game and really try to put on a show.

North and South Korea exchange faxes threatening to attack each other
By Max Fisher, Washington Post, December 20, 2013
North Korea sent a fax to South Korea's defense ministry on Thursday, threatening "a merciless retaliation without warning" in response to an anti-North Korean demonstration that had taken place in Seoul.
The story is humorous and revealing for several reasons. First, the idea of scolding the South Korean government for a popular demonstration that occurred within South Korea betrays either a total misunderstanding of how democratic societies function or simply that Pyongyang thought that would be a sufficient excuse for its latest threat.
Second, faxes are funny. The mode of communication is both outdated and entirely undignified, which is actually sort of a perfect metaphor for North Korea's obsolete military and its systematically bizarre practices. (Although the fax is unusually common in East Asia, particularly Japan.)
But my favorite aspect of this story by far isn't North Korea's fax threatening to launch a war at any moment. It's the fact that South Korea, on Friday, turned around and sent the North Koreans a threatening fax right back.
"We've sent a reply vowing to react sternly to any provocations by North Korea," a South Korean defense ministry spokesperson announced. We have not learned the full content of the fax, but it did promise "resolute punishment" for any North Korean provocations.
North Korea does crazy-looking stuff all the time. Behaving in as aggressive and unpredictable a manner as possible is official North Korean strategy. It's by all appearances deliberate, and it's very effective, successfully deterring the North's much more powerful enemies and extracting regular concessions from them. In short, North Korea's crazed war fax is, in a sense, actually pretty rational.
You can't really say the same for the war fax that South Korea sent in return. South Korea's population is twice the size of the North's, and its GDP is 80 times larger. Eighty! It's also got tens of thousands of U.S. troops stationed in the country and a pledge of U.S. support in the event of war. South Korea doesn't need to send an angry fax threatening North Korea. But it did.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 12 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Daniel Good Boot Just bought my second pair for my new setup next season. Got my first pair during the 12/13 season and liked the boot a lot. Not much to add on top of my last review, after two seasons of beating on my quadrants there's a little flex now. Looked into Dynafit, but the optional stiffening tongue drove me to choose BD again. P.S. had to register a new BD account to post this review, lame. August 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by zaun A good all around boot So far so good I've been skiing these boot five days a week for the last month now and I'm pretty satisfied . I haven't done much touring in them but I have been skiing alot at the resort and they done really well. Been skiing everything from bumps to groomers corn and the wet and heavy with vary little powder but I'm sure there fine in that cause I think you could ski in sneakers in the powder and you'd be just fine. March 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Greg Ultimate touring boot This boot strikes the perfect balance between light weight and stiffness so you can tour all day and still charge the gnar. The higher rated flex with the new boot is a noticeable improvement. March 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by steve Great Boot This boot fills a great niche. It is stiff enough for the occasional resort day but still light enough to tackle long tours in the back-country. Good fit out of the box even without baking the liners. March 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Damien All smiles I hesitated to upgrade from my older AT boots, but now I realize I should have pulled the trigger sooner on these. Love 'em! First day out breaking trail and running laps in the local backcountry had me smiling ear to ear. Noticeably light and nimble on the uphill, and charging on the downhill, I couldn't be happier with these boots. Paired these with the Convert skis and the combo has been a game changer for me. January 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by kilo Stiff, flexible, lightish with a comfortably wide toebox Love this boot but am I the only one less enchanted with the liner? Straight outta the box they felt thin and cheap. Molding helped some but I worry about it packing out fast. The BOA system is great but I feel like the luxury feel just isn't there for a boot this price. December 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brandon Stiff, Light, Amazing Walk Mode Very happy with the quadrant. I have used the Endorphin and Mega rides for back country and this boot slots in perfectly with the lightness of the mega and the stiffness of the Endorphin. The liner has a hinge which helps with touring but makes getting out of the boot a little difficult. Highly recommend. December 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by dan Great Boot The first set of AT boots I've bought and I could not be happier. They're light, durable, and surprisingly stiff. The only problem is the liners pack out super fast. I honestly didn't mind this seeing the boots were very uncomfortable the first few times hiking, but once the liners break-in and form-fit to your feet they're fantastic. The liners will have to be replaced every other season, but for almost $200, depending on your style of skiing and how much you've used your gear, you might as well just buy a new set of boots.

It seems as though more and more clients are coming to us for LinkedIn ads – and with bigger budgets. These are mainly B2B companies looking to generate leads, drive traffic to a website or a LinkedIn company page. Here are some best practices to consider if you are thinking about running some LinkedIn ads for your business.
Set Yourself Up For Success
First and foremost you need to establish the goal of the ad campaign. Do you want to drive traffic to your website or your LinkedIn company page? LinkedIn allows you to choose either one.
Take Advantage of Ad Variations
LinkedIn allows you to create up to 15 ad variations for a single ad campaign. This gives you the opportunity to test different calls-to-action, variety of headlines and images to see what works and what doesn't work. You can even set the variations to rotate evenly or optimize the click through rate, so the more productive ads are shown more.
Target the Right Audiences
After the ad has been created, it's time to start targeting your audience. LinkedIn offers location, company, job title, school, skills, group, gender and age. The company section includes the option to target companies by name or by category, but the more useful is targeting companies by name. The group section is a great tool as well because you target members of a specific LinkedIn group. Just remember not get too targeted, LinkedIn recommends having an estimated target audience of 100,000+.
Pay Per Clicks vs. Pay Per Impressions
Depending on the goal of the campaign, you can choose to pay per 1,000 impressions or pay per click. More often than not we use the pay per click option because you can track who has actually click on the ad.
Have you implemented your own LinkedIn ads program? What was your experience? What kind of results did you get? Share your tips and tricks with us.
