Didn't feel like playing 'Double or Nothing'? Inglorious Nation of Niners, you had to ruin it for us, didn't you? Probably cared more about strangling Seattle's chances for the division title than actually winning the game for yourselves, clinching a playoff berth, setting up the alley-oop for the division title and keep gunning for a first-round bye, didn't you? Yeah, I know what's up.
OK, congratulations on a big-time win. I hope some of your anxiety over switch-horses-in-mid-stream-gate has been settled a little. A strange sense of propriety is somehow compelling me to extend hopes that Justin Smith's injury is not serious and that he'll be at full strength come Sunday Night. I just wrote that. And somehow I still haven't emptied my stomach.
Some of the shine of your second consecutive SNF appearance has been rubbed off, but this is still a deliciously exciting divisional game ahead of us. Most of Field Gulls right now is suffering some cognitive dissonance about the coaches running a fake punt up by 30 in Q4, so it's not a great morning for talking football over there right now.
Oh, what's that? You have a case study on the feasibility of a 30+ point lead being blown in the 4th quarter? So we should actually be coo' wit it? Nah, thanks for the gesture, but I'm still in SMH mode at Coach Carroll right now.
It's not every year that a second SBN-to-SBN thread is worthwhile, but it definitely is for the pair of us, this year, and that's nothing but a good thing. So take however long you want to revel in your victory, but please do stop in for some thinly-veiled shared resentment and subtle pot-shots at your earliest convenience. Cheers!

Paris Le Bourget Airport is pressing ahead with the second phase of its 20-year modernization and development plan, having had to delay it two years ago in response to the financial crisis. The first phase of the program was completed in 2009, and this improved several key buildings and provided better access.
Aéroports de Paris
On the opening day of Ebace 2010, EBAA and NBAA delivered 2010 European Business Aviation Awards to Elie Zelouf, senior vice president of Jet Aviation, and officials at Aéroports de Paris. According to NBAA, "This year's award recipients have both demonstrated unwavering commitment and dedication to advancing the business aviation industry.
France has not been as badly hit as many other countries by the financial crisis and neither has its business aviation community, according to the French chapter of the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA).
Dassault Aviation and Unijet, two companies that have a long history at Paris Le Bourget, have been selected to operate from the new terminal at the dedicated business airport. More activity is planned on the airport, as Dubai-based JetEx Flight Support will operate a VIP FBO at the main terminal at the site's entrance. It is the first Middle East aviation company to establish permanent operations in Europe.
France's prime business aviation gateway is set to pass the next stage in its ongoing redevelopment when a new executive terminal opens at Paris Le Bourget Airport on June 30. A former maintenance facility building has been completely renovated and refurbished in a $8.5 million makeover.
Aéroports de Paris (AdP) is seeking to expand the commercial horizons of the French capital's dedicated business aviation gateway, after several years in which its ambitions to attract new based operators and service companies have been dented by an adverse economy. At the same time, the airport has made progress both on controlling aircraft noise and on implementing more effective security controls.
Paris Le Bourget Airport is to open a new terminal building next month. The facility will have room for two FBOs and offices available for rent.
Paris Le Bourget Airport (Booth No. 211) is on schedule with a major redevelopment program aimed at protecting its status as Europe's busiest business aviation airport. And with traffic continuing to grow in impressive double-digit figures, it would appear this is well timed.
The long-term redevelopment of Paris Le Bourget Airport (Booth No. 1229) takes a further step forward with the opening at the end of this month of a brand-new terminal to house two business aircraft operators/FBOs and several offices of other aviation-related companies.
Euralair Airport Services (EAS) expects to move into new FBO premises at Le Bourget Airport at the end of this month or early June, following the sale of the FBO site it has occupied there for more than 40 years.

ATLANTA — A Fulton County judge is urging attorneys on both sides of the trial of former Atlanta Public Schools educators to quickly weed out prospective jurors ineligible to serve for a lengthy trial.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Superior Court Judge Jerry Baxter wants attorneys to eliminate ineligible people from a pool of 400. For example, Baxter says he found in questionnaires that at least one person no longer lives in the county and another is scheduled for a military deployment next week (http://bit.ly/1mGc3LB ).
Attorneys began meeting with prospective jurors Monday to select 12 jurors and 11 alternates.
Prosecutors have said they expect the trial to last for months.
Twelve former administrators, principals, testing coordinators and teachers face racketeering charges. Former superintendent Beverly Hall's trial was delayed due to cancer.

- Lack of Vitamin C - this shows up especially in hatchery raised fish but could happen to wild fish, too, if they have a very poor diet
- Injury when young - an injury to the backbone of a young fish could cause them to grow with a curved or deformed spine if the injury is not too severe.
- Birth defects - much like people, fish can hatch from the egg with a defect in the spine that causes the curved spine. If it is geneteic, it can be passed on to their offspring.
- Severe changes in temperature while in the egg - if there are severe water temperature changes after the eggs are laid it can cause this deformity. This happens more often in hatchery raised fish but can happen in the wild.
- Parasites - there is some evidence parasites are cauging deformities in young northern pike in an Oregon study of the Newberg Pool of the Willamette River
Fish with this deformity are safe to eat. I ate the filets from the bass in the pictures with this article. You can see the fish after I caught him and the pictures of his spine after he was fileted.
Back in the 1970s some claimed acid rain caused this deformity. No doubt some will now claim global warming is causing it, but that does not fit in any causes defined by biologists so far.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Division has some information on this with more pictures, including one from my site. They show a walleye with the curved spine as well as two different bass picturs. This page has several interesting questions answered.
If you have pictures of deformed fish, send them to me to post here. Also send any information you have about fish deformities.

---- — HAMPSTEAD — Two Haverhill men already in jail on home invasion charges in Massachusetts have been charged in connection with a violent home invasion and sexual assault in 2011.
Max Menagerman, 24, and Angel Sanchez, 22, entered the home of Joe Ustinowich on Kent Farm Road, then tortured him and a woman on July 18, 2011, according to police.
The men were charged Wednesday while in jail on charges related to a home invasion in Haverhill in November 2011.
Menagerman and Sanchez entered Ustinowich's home looking for guns, according to complaints filed by Hampstead police.
But things did not go according to plan.
"They didn't plan on anyone being home at the time," Lt. John Frazier said.
Menagerman tied up the woman and Sanchez tied up Ustinowich with an electrical cord, according to the complaint.
Menagerman sexually assaulted the woman using a handgun and also assaulted her while holding a gun to her back, according to the complaint.
Police said Menagerman stuck the gun in woman's mouth and held the gun to her head, demanding to know where the guns were, police said.
Menagerman carved lines into Ustinowich's back with a knife and threatened to kill him and his cats, police said in their complaint.
Sanchez helped Menagerman and held the residents at gunpoint, police said. Sanchez is charged with stealing three rifles and three shotguns from the residence.
Police charged Menagerman with six counts of criminal threatening with a firearm, four counts of sexual assault, five counts of simple assault, five counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, false imprisonment, second degree assault, burglary and felonious use of a firearm.
Sanchez is charged with criminal threatening, theft, criminal liability for conduct of another to aggravated felonious sexual assault, false imprisonment, burglary and felonious use of a firearm.
Police said two other men were involved in the home invasion. One of them, Avery Walker, 21, of Haverhill, has been convicted in the case. He was arrested in November 2011 for the Hampstead incident and convicted in the spring of 2012 for conspiracy to commit burglary.
Hampstead police have an arrest warrant pending for Abraham Depaula, 24, of Haverhill, also a suspect in the home invasion.
Menagerman, Sanchez and DePaula were all in jail in Massachusetts on charges of kidnapping, armed assault in a dwelling, and armed burglary in connection with the home invasion in Haverhill. In that incident, Sanchez also faces a charge of assault to murder; Depaula and Meagerman also faces charges of attempted murder in that incident.
Menagerman and Sanchez were arraigned via video Wednesday and both waived extradition to New Hampshire.
They are both being held in the Rockingham County jail, Meagerman on $350,000 cash, Sanchez on $100,000 cash.
A probable cause hearing has been scheduled for both men at 10 a.m. Monday in 10th Circuit Court in Plaistow.

Hi guys, long time member, relatively unknown lurker here. Firstly, I'm sorry if this post isn't in the right place. I wasn't sure where best to ask. Anyway, I'll cut to the chase:
I'm planning on being in New York from the 30th of October through to the 6th of November. Being from the UK, I'm not entirely sure of the ticket buying process, or where the best places to look might be? I'd love to get to every game during that stretch if possible; I just have no idea how to go about acquiring tickets? I'm guessing any unsold tickets will go up on general sale for non season ticket holders before long? If so, what date/time would that be? Any help would be much appreciated

Israeli troops abduct Palestinian deputy prime minister
Israeli soldiers abducted the Palestinian deputy prime minister early Saturday, the army said, the highest-ranking Hamas official to be captured by Israel in a six-week-old crackdown against the ruling Hamas party.
According to press reports, occupation troops stormed into the home of Nasser Shaer around 4:30 a.m. and took him away, the deputy prime minister's wife, Huda, said. She added her husband had been in hiding since Israel started its crackdown in late June after Hamas fighters in the Gaza Strip infiltrated southern Israel and captured a soldier. She said he had rarely been home during that period.
The army confirmed Shaer was arrested in Ramallah overnight for his involvement and activity in Hamas.
With Shaer's abduction, four members of the Hamas-dominated Palestinian Cabinet and some 30 Hamas lawmakers are in Israeli hands. Four other ministers have been detained and released.

Le management de la BEAC FACE aux principes de bonne gouvernance THE MANAGEMENT OF THE BANK OF CENTRAL AFRICAN STATES AND PRINCIPLES OF GOOD GOVERNANCE
AbstractL'étude présente le contexte institutionnel de la Banque des Etats de l'Afrique Centrale (BEAC) et procède à l'analyse de sa gouvernance. Il en ressort un management aux objectifs imprécis ou contraires à ceux de la Communauté Economique et Monétaire de l'Afrique Centrale (CEMAC)1. Le postulat est que des degrés de liberté pour une politique monétaire originale existent. Son avènement suppose une appropriation des principes de bonne gouvernance applicables aux banques centrales, une requalification des critères de recrutement des dirigeants et un réajustement des priorités de la BEAC. The study presents the institutional context of the Bank of the Central African States (BEAC) and proceeds to the analysis of its governance. It shows a management where the purposes are unclear or in conflict with those of the economic and monetary community of Central Africa States (CEMAC)[1]. The premise is that degrees of freedom for the development of an original monetary policy exist. Its development needs the implementation of the principles of good governance to central banks, a redefinition of leaders' recruitment criteria and an adjustment of the priorities of the BEAC.

Western Supermarket shoppers help feed the homeless...
Darwin Metcalf & Ken Hubbard of Western presents
check to Tony Cooper of Jimmie Hale Mission
Since 2001, Western Supermarket customers have helped feed the homeless and hungry of the Jimmie Hale Mission by taking advantage of the Scan-A-Meal program offered during the holidays. While checking out, shoppers can elect to donate $1.95 to provide a meal for a homeless man, woman or child.
And for the tenth year in a row, Western's efforts have made a big difference. Western Supermarket's President Darwin Metcalf and CEO Ken Hubbard present a check for $12,263 to Tony Cooper, executive director of the Jimmie Hale Mission. That translates to 6,289 warm meals!
Metcalf and Hubbard recently came to the Mission to present their check and while they were here, they took a tour of the kitchen where their funds will be put to use. At that time, the Jimmie Hale Mission also wanted to recognize Western's 10-year partnership in feeding the hungry, and honored Western by naming the Mission's kitchen in their honor.

Although you may occasionally suffer the misfortune of finding a tick in your hair, that tick didn't jump on your head. Ticks don't jump, and they don't hang around in the trees waiting to drop on you. People often ask me, "If ticks don't jump, how do ticks get on you?"
Ticks, as you likely know, are blood-feeding parasites. Almost all ticks ambush their hosts, using a behavior called questing. A tick in search of a blood meal will crawl up a plant stem, often on a tall piece of grass, and extend its front legs. This is called the questing posture. The blacklegged tick in the photo above is in the questing posture, waiting for a host.
Why do ticks wait in this position? On its front legs, a tick has special sensory structures, most notably the Haller's organs, with which it can detect a nearby host. In 1881, a scientist named G. Haller published the first description of these structures, although he misunderstood their purpose. Haller believed these structures were auditory sensors (ears), when in fact they proved to be olfactory sensors (noses). So when a tick sits on a blade of grass with its front legs extended, it is effectively sniffing the air for your scent.
What's remarkable, however, is just how well the tick can smell you, and sense even your slightest movement. The Haller's organ can detect the carbon dioxide you exhale with each breath, and the ammonia in your sweat. With legs outstretched, the tiny tick can pick up on all the foul odors people produce, from bad breath to belches, and it can even smell your farts. But even the most well-groomed and properly behaved hiker can't avoid detection by the Haller's organ, because it can also sense changes in temperature as you approach.
Once a tick knows you are approaching, it waits to grab hold of your leg as you brush past the vegetation. Most ticks behave passively in this regard, relying on you to come to them. But some, particularly those in the genus Hyalomma, will make a mad dash in your direction as soon as they smell you coming.
Scientists use this behavior to their advantage when sampling an area for ticks. The researcher drags a square of white felt across the ground. Any ticks in its path will sense the movement and grab onto the felt, where they are visible against the white backdrop and can be counted or collected.
Understanding this tick behavior will help you minimize your risk of tick bites. Take care not to walk through areas of thick or high vegetation, and keep your legs covered and treated with an effective tick repellent. Wearing a hat will be almost no help in preventing tick bites, unless you tend to do handstands in the tall grass. When you find a tick on your upper body or in your hair, it is nearly always because the tick managed to crawl there from your leg. Do a thorough, full body tick check immediately upon returning indoors, and you can remove most ticks before they've enjoyed a meal of your blood (and possibly infected you with a disease-causing pathogen).

Guest Star: "If A$AP Rocky Called Out A Corner, I'd Be Happy To Do It"
Monday, Apr 1, 2013 2:45PM
[After raising eyebrows last week when footage of his new Rap Quotes campaign went viral, street artist Jay Shells gives SOHH readers the inside on why he's throwing up your favorite rapper's lyrics throughout the New York streets.]
From the time the idea hit me to the time I put the signs up, it was only about two weeks. I don't like to waste time. If I get a good idea, and this is always true in life, there's a chance that someone somewhere else has the same idea and if you wait, someone's going to do it first. I had the idea and I wanted to go as quickly as I could to get it out to the world.
Luckily I was able to do it and so I got three up in three days and now I've got six more that I'm looking at right now that are going to go up over the weekend and I've got more on the computer that I'm going to print. Now that this is going around, people are sending me verses that I might have missed although I'm only able to use some because people aren't sending me specific enough lines. It's going to be ongoing for a while.
It started with verses that I was able to think of on my own. I'm 33 and I've lived through a good portion of hip-hop's history so a lot of this came to me as I started thinking about it. I reached out to friends who supplied some and that's it. It really was between my friends and I. It wasn't really something you could find online although I did try and found a few. I'm not limiting it to rappers from New York but the mentions have to be about New York.
I have a Yelawolf verse from his brand new sh*t that just came out a few weeks ago where he's calling out the Chelsea Hotel on 23rd Street. He's not even a New York emcee and he's calling out spots. A lot of the signs that I made were from artists I listened to frequently because they were able to come to me right away but that's why I'm glad to open this up publicly for people who are like, "What about this! What about that!"
I've been going back and forth with Domingo, the producer, who is sending me stuff I completely forgot about like a Chubb Rock verse where he's calling out a corner in Brooklyn and I'm happy to do anything like if A$AP Rocky called out a corner, I'd be happy to do it. He's always repping Harlem but I haven't heard him call out a specific corner.
It can be someone super popular or somebody very low but it can't be someone so unheard that nobody is going to know who the f*ck it is. It's a pretty wide range of emcees and if I know them, I'm pretty well-versed in hip-hop, I'm going to make a sign.
I fly solo on these. Too many people could draw too much attention and I think if you roll into a neighborhood you're not from with a crew, it's giving off the wrong impression. I go alone and I have one lookout. In the last case, it was this videographer who's a f*cking dope photograher and lookout. He's kinda looking through the camera with one eye and out to see what's gonig on with the other. We were really successful and so I'm going to keep him around as my partner in crime for this project.
Jay Shells is an artist and graphic designer based out of the New York City area. He is an avid hip-hop fan and has worked on numerous street-based projects over the past few years.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio Gov. John Kasichis giving some added authority to the federal ban on Lake Erie drilling.
Kasich plans to sign an executive order Wednesday at a Fish Ohio Day event in Port Clinton. It will put in place a state directive to accompany an already existing federal ban.
Spokesman Rob Nichols said past governors have traditionally echoed the federal ban with a state-level order, but that such an order was never signed by former Gov. Ted Strickland.
Kasich will be joined at the event by Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Director Scott Nally, Ohio Department of Natural Resources Director Jim Zehringer (ZAYR'-ihn-guhr) and local tourism officials.

Pets coming to Britain no longer need to be quarantined
Moving to the UK is set to become much less of an ordeal following the release of new pet quarantine laws to come into effect in the new year
For those South Africans who consider a pet part of the family, moving to UK is set to become much less of an ordeal, following the release of new quarantine laws to come into effect in the new year.
As of 1 January 2012, cats and dogs entering the UK from South Africa will no longer have to spend six months in quarantine to ensure against the threat of rabies, as has been the case so far. This law dates back to the 1800s when the risk of rabies was much higher, but the advancement in rabies vaccinations and treatments has vastly reduced the danger of rabies infections.
All pets will still need to be vaccinated against the disease, and pets from South Africa will need to undergo a blood test and a three-month waiting period between vaccination and entering the UK, but the emotional and financial stress of having to place animals in quarantine for six months will be lifted, and if pre-travel regulations are followed you will be able to leave the airport with your pet upon arrival.
In a press release on its website, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) explains that quarantine is no longer a necessary step, but assures that the UK will maintain its high level of protection against animal disease, which will potentially save pet owners £7 million.
Under the new changes the chances of a pet in the UK contracting rabies will be once in 221 years, and the possibility of a human dying from rabies caught from an animal reduced to once every 21,000 years, according to Defra's website.

Well that sucks, I spent a small fortune on 6 months quarantine for my cat a year ago, where do I go for a refund? ;-)
Agree. I had to leave my dog behind. It was a very traumatic ordeal for all involved.
I had to put my cat down when I moved here to UK because of the cost of quarantine, and I couldn't find anyone that I could trust to treat her with the love and spoil her the way I did. Absolutely destroyed me. I Sobbed for weeks afterwards. Never been so traumatised in my life.
Thats the best news I've heard as I've been waiting for the dogs to pass peacefully rather than taking them via Germany. I couldn't imagine my pampered pooches in a concrete cell for six months, please my dogs sleep on mohair and feather duvets. They are my children.
That is the best news I have heard in a long time, being wanting to move to the UK but could not afford the quarantine cost's and leaving my cat behind has never been an option…..
Is this really true? What documents could I find where to prove it?
thats great!
planning on moving but i still have to try and convince my parents that this is true and worth the money!!! i love my dog and absolutely refuse to leave her behind!
Totally agree mate! My dogs are my world!
This is the best news – I hope it is true . I have two 1 year old cats – they mean the world to me. I could not imagine leaving them behind.
Not true unfortunately, South Africa is not a listed country with the Pet Travel Scheme, and have to under go 21 days to 6 months in quarantine.
I am currently dealing with Animal Travel and they have assured me once again that there is no quarantine.
this says that the animals need to wait 21 days before being allowed entry into the UK, does that mean 21 days here, or 21 days in a quarantine facility there before they will be released in the UK…this isn't made clear at all. Can animal travel clear that up, or have you already?
Sorry I need to amend that, that is for LISTED non EU countries, according the the gov.uk page South Africa is not a listed country https://www.gov.uk/pet-travel-information-for-pet-owners#countries-and-territories
so according to that site quarantine laws apply. Please find out for us where Animal Travel is getting their info, either gov.uk is wrong or out of date, or Animal Travel has the wrong info.
I did just find this on the site "All pets will still need to be vaccinated against rabies. Pets from the EU and listed non-EU countries such as the USA and Australia will no longer need a blood test and will only have to wait 21 days before they travel. Pets from unlisted non-EU countries such as India, Brazil and South Africa will be able to enter the UK if they meet certain strict criteria to ensure they are protected against rabies, including a blood test and a three-month wait before they enter the UK."
Is there an age limit on dogs to go into the U.K?
I have no idea, I do not think so.
To anyone reading this article, please note that the three month waiting period starts when the blood is drawn for the Rabies Antibody Titer blood test that has to be performed, and NOT after the rabies vaccination! Also, please note that each animal has to have a documented microchip insertion date that comes BEFORE the most recent rabies vaccination.
Interesting info, comments and tips.

Title: Talking Public Health: Articulating Americas Second Language
Abstract: The mission of public healthimproving the health of populations -- focuses on creating conditions in which people can be healthy and is fundamentally about social change. The goal of social changecreating a fairer, more just societyis difficult to advance in public discussion because a language to express the values animating that goal has not been adequately developed.
The first language of American culture is individualism. A second American language of community rooted in progressive social values that are common to the American experienceserves as the first language of social change and the first language of public health. These values resonate with many Americans but are not easily articulated. Also, there is a very strong tradition of not trusting government, particularly big government, that is embedded our first language. Consequently, personal-behavioral, individualistic understandings of public health problems prevail. Advancing a social change/public policy approach to the nations challenges such as prevention requires invigorating Americas second language by better understanding the underlying core social justice values that are the basis for public health.

Title: Selective Publication and Drug Efficacy: Don't Believe Everything You Don't Read
Abstract: When doctors and other prescribers need to learn about drugs, they often turn to what they consider the most authoritative source available: the peer reviewed journal article. Unfortunately, there are flaws in this system. When drug companies conduct clinical trials on drugs, the trials often turn out positive, and the results get published for all to read. But what if the trial turns out negative? One of two things often happens: Either the trial gets "spun" using post-hoc analyses, and the negative result is transformed into a seemingly positive one, or it simply is swept under the rug, never to see the light of day. In this talk, Dr. Turner contrasts what the medical field used to think about antidepressant drugs, based on the peer-reviewed literature, and the less flattering truth, based on data obtained from the FDA.
Bio: Erick Turner is Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and the Department of Pharmacology at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) in Portland. He is also Senior Scholar with OHSU's Center for Ethics in Health Care and Staff Psychiatrist with the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He previously worked at the FDA as a reviewer. There he became aware that drug companies were conducting studies that were not seeing the light of day in the published literature.

Title: Strategies and Challenges for Health Information Management in a Humanitarian Aid Organization
Abstract: Mercy Corps is an international humanitarian aid organization based in Portland, Oregon, with offices in 35 countries. Public health is a key element of long-term global development: without reliable access to proper nutrition, clean water, sanitation and health services, it is impossible for people to move beyond the urgency of meeting their most basic needs. Emergency responses, such as to the earthquake in Haiti, often include a water and sanitation component as well as psychosocial programming designed to help children and youth recover from disaster. This talk will address how health information is managed at Mercy Corps, including how materials and lessons learned are transferred between staff, using a range of online and offline tools. We'll discuss strategies for managing information when staff work in austere environments, with unstable power sources or low bandwidth, and challenges related to a worldwide staff that works in multiple languages.
Bio: Jeff Crump is the Digital Librarian for Mercy Corps, in Portland, Oregon. He began his relationship with Mercy Corps as a volunteer in 2004, while studying for his MLS degree, and has worked there since. He graduated from Emporia State University's School of Library and Information Management (SLIM Oregon) in 2006. He currently manages the Digital Library and administers Mercy Corps Clearspace, an online collaboration environment. He lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Big hat tip to Legal Insurrection for bringing this to my attention. There's a lady in Utah running for Congress named Mia Love who has a very interesting bio. Cetainly, there are the obviously noteworthy factors, such as the fact that she's the daughter of Haitian immigrants (that would make her black, for those who pay attention to such things), but what struck me most was the fact that her degree is in fine arts and that she's an accomplished singer and dancer. As a jazz / blues guitarist and freelance writer, I love to hear about "creative types" who have their heads on straight when it comes to ideology. While my own experience bears out the stats about the arts world being overwhelmingly lefty, I'm starting to think maybe there's a significant swath of that world that flies under the radar.
After all, as Mark Steyn, David Mamet and others have said, turning this thing around starts with the culture. All the wonky policy stuff follows once we're no longer living in a sewer.

The fights just keep coming for UFC 148, but this one is a bit odd. Renan Barao has established himself as a top five bantamweight and was considered a candidate to face the winner of the third Dominick Cruz vs. Urijah Faber bout for the UFC bantamweight title. In the meantime though, he's facing an unranked fighter with just one UFC win. Here's the news from UFC.com:
Bantamweight Renan Barao has the greatest unbeaten streak in the sport -- a staggering 31 straight fights -- and he'll gun for another when he faces Jeff "Hellbound" Hougland at UFC 148. Unbeaten since 2003, Hougland is looking for his 10th straight victory and a spot in the upper rankings of the bantamweight division.
I guess the story is that they're both on long winning streaks? Okay, sure. Barao (28-1, 1 NC) is coming off an impressive win over Scott Jorgensen at UFC 143 last month, and has won all three of his UFC bouts to date. Hougland (10-4) picked up a decision win over Donny Walker in his only UFC fight to date back at UFC 132 in July.
Honestly, this looks a little bit like a showcase bout for Barao at first glance. No disrespect to Hougland, but Barao facing an unranked fighter at this stage has to be for a reason, right?

The co-main event of the UFC 141: "Lesnar vs. Overeem" pay-per-view taking place tonight (Fri., Dec. 30, 2011) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, featured a highly anticipated match-up between two top lightweight contenders.
Highly anticipated because Nate Diaz and Donald Cerrone created plenty of hype for the bout by getting into it with each other at both a UFC gym a few months ago and at the pre-fight press conference. This one felt personal heading in. But did it deliver inside the cage?
Diaz put in what was easily one of the best performances of his career, absolutely overwhelming "Cowboy" en route to a unanimous decision win. He might not be fighting for the title anytime soon but he certainly sent Cerrone to the back of the pack. In style.
You knew it was going to be intense when Cerrone kicked things off by flipping Diaz off at the staredown. True to his word, Cerrone went running across the cage as soon as Herb Dean told them to get busy. Both guys were swinging big punches but no one was landing.
A short clinch didn't lead to much and they disengaged before finally slowing down. It didn't last long, though, as Diaz employed the typical Diaz game plan of throwing punches in bunches. It was working, too, as "Cowboy" was just eating punch after punch.
Cerrone seemed content to land low leg kicks while Diaz simply kept the pressure on. By the time the first round was done, Greg Jackson was telling Cerrone in his corner that he was getting overwhelmed.
Talk about an understatement.
The second round featured a whole lot of Cerrone kicking Diaz's legs out from underneath, which made the crowd "oh" and "ah" but didn't exactly make for a sound strategy to win the fight.
A head kick finally landed clean about halfway through but as luck would have it, "Cowboy" fell down and was unable to capitalize on his short burst of effective offense.
It wasn't long after that Diaz went back to brutalizing him. By the time round two was over, Cerrone had clawed his way back into the bout but volume was clearly still on the Stockton slugger's side.
Cardiovascular conditioning could be the most underrated aspect of a fighter's game and in the third round, Diaz had it while Cerrone looked tired. Whether that was because his tank was simply running dry or he was punched so many times he was fading didn't quite matter.
Cerrone continued to sweep the leg in the final frame but as good as that looks and sounds on TV, it's not a winning fight strategy. Diaz kept up the pace and pressure that was winning him the fight in the first two rounds and while Cerrone kept it close, Diaz was simply too much.
All that aside, this was fun. Really fun.

text: a few days ago i had a fanpost and had a comparison between brees and henne in their first two seasons as starters. based on stats and records henne excelled in every category. after watching brees on monday night at this point i see a huge difference. the huge difference is what brees has around him that henne does not. the saints play calling is great compared to the lack luster conservative garbage of miami. the saints play to score touchdowns not field goals. the saints have speed everywhere. i truly believe that chad henne can be as good as matt ryan or drew brees. the dolphins o-line has been awful along with terrible play calling and no deep threat at wr. the dolphins need to stay with sparano and henne. get a new offensive coordinator and draft mark ingram AT RB and a wr type tight end and a ted ginn like talent that can actually catch. that is what this team needs. let henne air the ball out. the dolphins want to run the ball as much as pass it. well thats not the way the nfl is right now. brees has thrown the ball 47 times tonight and ran it 19 times with 3 minutes left in game. i know i will get ran down for this post but i still believe henne can be good. the dolphins are just missing pieces to the puzzle right now.

Will a new volcanic eruption in Iceland cause travel chaos for air passengers in the UK? In 2010 the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull led to flights across northern Europe being grounded for several days due to the hazard to engines from volcanic dust. Could a new eruption have the same impact? Broadcast meteorologist Simon King on how much we should worry...
The Icelandic Met Office have recorded an increase in earthquake activity around the Bardarbunga volcano over the last few days – the countries second largest volcano, which last erupted in 1903. About 300 earthquakes had been detected in the area since midnight on Tuesday.
Iceland's authorities have evacuated an area close to the country's Bardarbunga volcano over fears it could erupt. The area, which is more than 300km (190 miles) from the capital Reykjavik, has no permanent residents but sits within a national park popular with tourists.
On Monday the Icelandic Met Office upgraded the colour code used by the International Civil Aviation Organisation on the status of volcanos to orange. This means the volcano is showing 'heightened or escalating unrest with increase potential of eruption'.
While seismic activity has increased...

What a summer it has been in Scotland - like no other that I can remember over the last 20 years. It started with the Commonwealth Games in July. It will end with the Scottish Independence Referendum in September.
And when it's all over, we'll look back and realise that we've seen and witnessed things that have never happened before in Scotland, and might never happen again.
So we set out from Glasgow last Monday - that's me and 5 live producer Helen Thomas - with the idea of capturing as many of the sights and sounds of this unique Scottish summer as we could. We wanted to talk to as many people as possible to find out what it all means to them.
There aren't many places in the world where I'd rather eat a tea cake than the Ritz Cafe on the island of Cumbrae. I don't know if the Formica table tops, jukebox and faded beach postcards actually date from the fifties, but it certainly looks like it.
A father doing the ten mile bike circuit round the island told us he'd be voting yes in the referendum. He said Scotland was a wealthy nation full of great natural resources and it made sense to break away. His daughter didn't know what she thought. But then, she was only five. People in...

It's been a very busy period on-air at BBC Radio 5 live with both the World Cup and Wimbledon. We are now putting the finishing touches to our plans for the Commonwealth Games, which starts on Wednesday 23 July with the opening ceremony. Then, the day after the closing ceremony there will be a poignant change of focus across Britain, as Monday 4 August is the centenary of the outbreak of World War One. More detail to follow below about our planned coverage. We also have the Open Golf Championship this week and the first ever BBC Sport Prom this weekend.
Presenter changes
It's also been a very busy time for 5 live off-air. As you may have read, we will be losing three of our much loved presenters this autumn, and will have a new daytime schedule as a result of that. This presents a big challenge for us. Victoria Derbyshire, Shelagh Fogarty and Richard Bacon have the small matter of over 40 years presenting experience on 5 live between them.
All three, over the last few months, have chosen that this year is the right time to move on to new ventures in their careers. To re-iterate, no-one was 'axed' as some suggested when the announcement was made, it was their own choice, so...

Sunday's World Cup final will mark the end of Mike Ingham's distinguished career as BBC radio's chief football correspondent.
It is fitting that Mike is calling time after a World Cup full of incident, shocks and stories; and I know his commentary on the final will once again live up to the occasion.
Mike joined the BBC more than 40 years ago, starting at BBC Radio Derby, and he took over as football correspondent from Bryon Butler in 1991.
Since then, he has set the standard in authoritative and intelligent football analysis, while his commentary partnership with Alan Green has become legendary...

Today I have just shared with the team here at 5 live a major set of schedule changes.
It is a sad time as, within this, we say goodbye to three of the great stars of 5 live, but it's also an exciting time as we look ahead to the next stage in our life here in Salford.
We say farewell to Victoria Derbyshire who has an exciting new opportunity with BBC News, details of which will be announced in the next few months. Victoria will stay with us until September and will play a big part in our Commonwealth Games plans. We will miss both her forensic interviewing ability and her award-winning investigative...

We have some very, very sad news to share with you. 'Rachel', our dear friend, a doctor, and an alcoholic in recovery, died several weeks ago. Rachel (not her real name) last appeared on our programme in March. She sounded so well. Before Easter, she began drinking again, briefly, before stopping. Just under 48 hours later, she died in her sleep, on Easter weekend. She was 45 and leaves her partner and her young daughter. Her family understandably wanted time to grieve privately but have now given us permission to let you know of her death.
Rachel first contacted our programme in February 2011-...

The Radio Academy Awards (formerly the Sonys) are probably the biggest night of the year for the radio industry and last night was a big success for 5 live.
We picked up three gold, one silver and three bronze awards. All the winners are listed below, but I wanted to particularly mention the three gold award winners.
The Day We Won Wimbledon is as creative a radio programme as you will ever hear – it actually had me in tears. It was produced by Steve Jones from the 5 live Sport team who is our tennis producer. It was a stroke of genius asking John Hurt to narrate the programme, and...

By Nicole Regan-White whose baby was stillborn
Our first child, Jessica, was, tragically, stillborn on Christmas Eve at full-term.
We'd had what was deemed by midwives as a textbook pregnancy, but when we arrived at the hospital during labour we were told that our daughter had died.
We couldn't comprehend what was happening, and three days later Jessica arrived at 10:43pm on Christmas Eve weighing 5lbs 10 oz. We were able to spend a precious couple of hours with her. If I hadn't got to meet Jessica it would have been the biggest regret of my life.
We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for...

If you've ever taken a long haul flight, or worked nightshifts, you'll know that your body clock quickly pays the price. Now scientists and doctors are getting closer to understanding exactly why.
Human beings have long evolved to accommodate the fact the world turns according to periods of light and darkness, day and night. Our bodies can anticipate, not just react to, that circadian rhythm (circadia means 'about a day'). The body can prepare the immune system to adapt to what is coming. So what's happening when the rhythm goes wrong?

Over the course of three days in Ireland the 97th Giro d'Italia rolled past many things dyed or painted pink; sheep, horses, pylons, water skiers, windmills and the hairdo of the mayor of Belfast to name a few.
Now if you are unfamiliar with the Giro, then it's the first Grand Tour on the racing calendar and this is only the 11th time it has started outside its natural habitat of Italy. First raced in 1909 as a way to boost the sales of the Gazzetta Della Sport, the obsession with pink comes from the colour of the aforementioned paper and has stuck ever since. Thus the person with the...

A new crop of graduates is heading out into the world. But these students have also spent time behind bars.
Sunday 109 men and women wore a cap and gown and participated in a graduation ceremony at the Potter's House in Dallas. They completed a 12-month program called the Texas Offenders Re-Entry Initiative, known as T.O.R.I. Jeana Shaw is one of the graduates.
"Before I went into the program I had a lot of difficulties, but this program has showed me that I can keep hope alive and keep moving forward."
T.O.R.I.'s director Tina Naidoo says the program works to reduce the nation's recidivism rate. Currently, 67 percent of prisoners get re-arrested. Fifty-two percent of them end up behind bars again within three months of being released. Naidoo says T.O.R.I.'s recidivism rate is only 9 percent.
"We don't judge them. We don't get out their file. We don't know their criminal background. We don't know their history. What we see is a human being."
Naidoo says covering the essentials, like housing, employment, education, and family are the keys to the program's success.
"The court is going to demand that they have a healthy, stable living environment so one of the things we first do is we empower them to get housing, we help them get a job, and when those things are done then we go after their family and we bring the family back together."
Shaw says it's made all the difference to her and her kids.
"They are very proud of me. They see that mom has succeeded in their goals and makes them want to succeed in their goals as well."
T.O.R.I. also boasts a major cost benefit. It costs 98 cents to rehabilitate an ex-offender in the program. That's compared to the nearly 50 dollars it costs to incarcerate someone.
Since the program began T.O.R.I. has served 7,000 ex-offenders.

In the 17th century a French physicist invented the first pressure cooker, based on the principle that steam can reach a temperature higher than that of boiling water and thus can be used to cook foods more quickly. That fact - and many others - makes this cooking method perfect for boats.
Why Use a Pressure Cooker on a Sailboat?
For many cruisers, a pressure cooker is the ideal way to cook a wide variety of dishes. It's so perfect for a sailboat's galley that you'd think it was invented just for sailors! Here are the key benefits for boaters:
- Because food is cooked more quickly (saving up to 70% of cooking time), less stove fuel is used - a great benefit for cruisers who must carry their propane, alcohol, or other fuel with them.
- Because cooking time is shorter, less heat is generated in the galley - a benefit for boats in warm climates.
- Less water or other cooking fluid is required - a benefit for boaters with smaller water tanks or who make less frequent stops to fill their tanks.
- Recipes for pressure cookers emphasize one-pot meals - a benefit on boats with single-or double-burner stoves.
- Certainly not least, because pressure cooking uses less water, fewer nutrients and less good tastes are lost in the cooking.
- Leftovers heated back up to pressure can be left sealed in the cooker and will remain sterile (as long as you're careful) and not require refrigeration - another benefit in the small galleys of boats.
How a Pressure Cooker Works
The cooker's lid seals tightly on the pot, and when the liquid inside reaches the boiling point (212 degrees F, or 100 degrees C.), steam is released. In a conventional pot, even with a tight lid, the steam begins to escape and the food within stays at about the boiling point. In a pressure cooker the steam is trapped inside and continues rising in temperature until the pressure reaches a preset level, at which point the temperature is usually around 250 degrees F. (or 121 degrees C.). At that point the safety valve begins to release the pressure so that the pot does not explode, also keeping the temperature inside constant at the maximum. The heat can then be reduced for the cooking time.
Pressure cookers now sold in the U.S. and most countries are safe to use because of the pressure safety valve and a feature that locks the lid in place until the pressure has been released, minimizing the risk of a steam burn. Nevertheless, it is important to handle a pressure cooker carefully to avoid damage to its seal, the safety valve, or the locking mechanism.
Remember that the food inside is hotter than food cooked in an open pot, so be careful when opening the lid and handling the pot and the food.
The locking mechanism, pressure release method, and specifics for cleaning the pot all vary somewhat among different models. Be sure to read the follow the manufacturer's instructions included with your cooker.
Implications for Boaters
- Timing is important, because food can easily overcook if you're not paying attention. Use your watch or a kitchen timer, and follow the recipe's instructions closely until you've become adept at estimating times for your own recipes.
- A stainless steel model is best for boating conditions, especially in salt water. Use sufficient oil when browning meats in the cooker before adding other ingredients and fluid, to prevent burning the bottom of the cooker. (Stainless steel is not a nonstick surface!)
- With most pressure cookers, you can pour cold water over the lid (with the cooker in the sink) to end cooking quickly and lower the pressure in order to open the pot. On a cruising boat with a salt water tap, there is no need to waste precious tank water doing this cold water rinse.
- After use, carefully hand wash the cooker, taking special care to ensure no food is trapped against the gasket seal of the lid. Let the gasket dry before replacing it.
- When storing the cooker, remember that cookware often bounces around inside cabinets on a boat. Wrap and pad the cooker carefully so that its mechanisms won't be damaged.
Now go get a good pressure cooking cookbook and put to sea! Once you've gained a little experience, you'll be able to easily adapt your favorite one-pot recipes for the pressure cooker by reducing the liquid and cooking time appropriately.

My annual trip to the deepest, happiest place in the countryside is approaching fast. This year, however, I have a big problem: I don't have a swimsuit. I have swimsuit inspirations floating around in my head, but the quest for the perfect item seems to be an endless disappointment. Nothing on eBay that doesn't look like it wouldn't disintegrate upon first contact with water. Nothing in the high street shops that doesn't look like it belongs on a playboy bunny. Nothing in UK internet shops that won't burn a giant hole in my wallet.
I want a RETRO swimsuit. One that ruches over the bits I need to hide. One with a boy leg. One with a halterneck.
One like these.
Tell me, my beloved reader, where do I find such a jewel?
First one of you to find me a great swimsuit for this summer by the 25th of July wins one of my handmade toys!

WI Gov. Doyle Won't Run For Reelection
by Josh Orton, Sat Aug 15, 2009 at 12:47:05 PM EDT
My governor won't go for a third term:
Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle has told associates he will announce this week that he won't seek a third term in 2010, POLITICO has learned.
By deciding against a run, Doyle, a Democrat, sets off what could be one of the most competitive gubernatorial races in the country next year.
The governor has been coy for months about his intentions, stockpiling money but at the same time not saying publicly whether he would run for re-election.
But sources familiar with his decision not to seek a third term say Doyle recognized the difficulties he may have faced next year and didn't want to go through another campaign after a long political career.
The big question: whether Doyle gets an appointment somewhere in the Obama administration before his current term ends. If so, Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton would be running in 2010 as an incumbent.

It helps to know that grandmothers are still in charge in the Deep South, that hunting bobwhite quail is still a rite of passage,..

When Joshua Vance, D.O., isn't busy saving lives in the Emergency Department at Sparrow Ionia Hospital, he's following his bouncing students as a world-class trampoline instructor.
Dr. Vance coaches trampoline at his gym in Wyoming, Mich., and will accompany his student, Mitch Dewey, to Sofia, Bulgaria, next week for the 2013 World Trampoline and Tumbling Competition. Dewey is a junior at Forest Hills High School and is the USA's top seed in his event.
"It's a very humbling experience to watch one of your students grow and succeed," Dr. Vance said. "I was fortunate enough to compete on a global scale and now to see Mitch do it just gives me a sense of pride."
Dr. Vance took up the trampoline in 1993 when he was 14. Since then, he has been a member of the USA Gymnastics Nationals team and placed 9th in the World Championships in the Netherlands in 2005. He was also part of the team that won the silver medal at the 2007 World Championships.
"It's always exciting to compete and see your hard work rewarded," he added. "Mitch has been competing for years and his dedication and commitment to the sport is inspiring."
Dr. Vance and his wife, Alisa, have owned For The Kidz Gymnastics and Trampoline in Wyoming since 2005. He began his residency at Sparrow in 2007 and has been an Attending Physician in Sparrow Ionia's Emergency Department since 2010.
Dr. Vance and Dewey will leave for Bulgaria on Sunday, with the competition beginning Wednesday, Nov. 13.

August 17, 2014
An urgent call from Haiti Action Committee – On Aug. 13, the Haitian government summoned former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to court on corruption charges. This summons is part of a chilling pattern of repression aimed at destroying Aristide's political party, Fanmi Lavalas, as the country approaches new legislative elections. We denounce it in the strongest possible terms.
January 31, 2014
On Friday, Jan. 17, it was reported by news agencies that a Haitian judge investigating the assassination of Jean Dominique, a crusading Haitian journalist who was killed in 2000, recommended the indictment of former Sen. Myrlande Liberis-Pavert, a founder and former director of the Aristide Foundation for Democracy, along with eight others. No legal documents to sustain these charges have been made public.
January 10, 2013
On Jan. 9, MASSIVE demonstrations throughout Haiti supported former President Aristide after he was summoned to court on frivolous charges seen as political persecution. People say that putting Aristide on trial is the same as putting the Haitian masses on trial and that the charges are meant to divert attention from the third earthquake anniversary and the theft of billions in aid. Speak out against the Red Cross for building a luxury hotel with aid funds. Rally Friday, Jan. 11, 4:30-5:30 p.m., outside Red Cross headquarters, 3901 Broadway, near MacArthur BART, Oakland.
March 19, 2011
Aristide returned to Haiti today. I've not seen such genuine happiness on the faces of Haiti's poor in over seven years. Welcome, President Jean Bertrand Aristide and family. Today is a good day for the poorest of the poor. Blessed be the endless Haiti revolution against the organized tyranny of the "civilized" and "schooled" peoples. On this day, we remember the sacrifice of the warriors who took up arms in self-defense against the occupation and coup d'etat. We recall the 20,000 slaughtered by the coup regime from 2004 to 2006, slaughtered with the complicity of U.N./U.S. firepower.
August 28, 2010
The candidacy of Wyclef Jean is important because it makes this Haitian election a media "event" and gives it the illusion of credibility, when it's real goal is to suppress the Lavalas movement and put a democratic front on a brutal military occupation.
January 12, 2010
The Haitian government-under-U.S.-U.N.-occupation has again excluded Haiti's largest political party from participating in upcoming elections financed, orchestrated and supported by the United States and the international community. This time, it's the February and March 2010 legislative elections.
April 29, 2009
Haiti's Lavalas movement effectively destroyed the credibility of the April 19 Senate election through a successful boycott campaign called Operation Closed Door. Participation may have been as low as 3 percent nationwide.
March 13, 2009
Seeing the resilience of our beloved Haiti has strengthened my commitment to our global revolutionary liberation struggle – until the last drop of my Black royal blood.
December 23, 2008
Dec. 16, was the 18th anniversary of Haiti's first free and democratic elections that gave rise to the Lavalas movement which catapulted Aristide into the presidency in 1990. Thousands of Haitians took to the streets.

WORTHINGTON, Ohio (AP) — A 94-year-old Ohio woman says she didn't realize a breakaway blimp had landed in her backyard during the night until police knocked on her door.
The 128-foot-long blimp broke free of its moorings at a Columbus airport during strong winds early Sunday and drifted to the sky. It came down in Lillian Bernhagen's backyard in Worthington, less than two miles from the airport, Ohio State University's Don Scott airfield. No one was aboard.
Bernhagen says she heard a bang while she was in bed but didn't think much of it because forecasters had warned of stormy weather overnight. She says she was stunned when she saw the remnants of the white and blue blimp covering half her backyard.
Crews were taking apart the blimp Sunday morning.

In some forms of modern Paganism, including but not limited to Wicca and NeoWicca, practitioners may choose to use something called a god or goddess candle on their altar during magical workings and rituals. The purpose of these candles is a simple one - they represent the deities of the individual's belief system.
A god or goddess candle is sometimes shaped in a humanlike form - these can be found at a number of commercial websites and metaphysical stores, and can even be found poured to look like a specific deity. These candles can be expensive, however, so many practitioners use other options instead.
One method of using a god or goddess candle is to place a plain candle in a jar decorated to represent the deity in question. A great example of this can be found in Hispanic marketas, where glass jar candles are sold with images of saints, Jesus, and Mary upon them. This serves the same purpose as a god candle. "I have a candle in a jar that represents Santa Muerte," says BrujaHa, an El Paso witch whose practice is a blend of NeoWicca and her family's Catholic roots. "Another candle has Jesus on it, and I put these candles out for ritual and offerings."
Another method is to use a plain candle and either inscribe it or paint it with symbols of the deity it represents. For instance, a candle used to represent Athena might have an image of an owl carved into the wax, or a god candle symbolizing Cernunnos could have antlers painted around its sides.
Altheah, a Pagan from eastern Indiana, says, "I use the god and goddess candles not just to symbolize the deities of my path, but also to invite them in. By utilizing the candles, it's my way of letting the god and goddess know that they are welcomed and valued in my sacred space. It seems like a little thing, but to me it's very important."
Garrick follows a Norse Heathen tradition, and says, "In my system, we don't honor a generic god and goddess, but I do have a pair of candles on my altar that represent Odin and Frigga. Each candle is carved with a rune, and they sit in a place of honor on my altar. I keep them there even when ritual and ceremony have concluded, because it's a way of showing how important they are to me."
During ritual, the god and goddess candle are placed on the altar. In many Wiccan traditions, these are set at the north aspect of the altar, but this is not a hard and fast rule. Obviously, you should follow the guidelines of your particular tradition when it comes to altar setup.
Be sure to read about some of the many deities followed by modern Pagans:
