Golf fans will have to jam their fingers in their ears for the next six U.S. Opens now that ESPN has made it official and announced that Chris Berman will torture TV viewers for, reportedly, much of the rest of the decade. Berman's nauseatingly outdated cultural references, skull-imploding puns, and wheezing broadcasting style had the Twitterati in a frenzy with his coverage of the 2012 Open.
Well, sports fans, sharpen up your anti-Boomer quips because the "Human Vuvezela," as Golf Digest's John Strege labeled everybody's favorite telecaster, will be back, back, back behind the mic for America's national championship for the foreseeable future, beginning next year. To which we say, "#ShutUpBerman," and refer you to this tweetist, who summed it up for most of us when, during the Open in June, he begged, "Oh my god Chris Berman. #stoptalking."
We're betting the underlings who bore the brunt of this vitriolic verbal bashing from the TV diva would approve:

BERLIN, GERMANY - AUGUST 05: Elaia (C), 6, and her sister Lusitta, 4, play among 1,600 styrofoam panda bear sculptures displayed in front of Hauptbahnhof main railway station by the World Wildlife Fund on August 5, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. The WWF is celebrating its 50th anniversary and is drawing attention to the fact that only 1,600 panda bears remain in the wild. The display will soon travel to 25 other cities in Germny.

There are lots of ways to measure the progress of Major League Soccer over the past 15 seasons. None of them are more obvious than the quality of the stadiums. When Livestrong Sporting Park makes its MLS debut on Thursday, it will be the league's 14th stadium that was either designed or retrofitted specifically with soccer in mind. By all indications, it will also be among the most glamorous.
All the bells and whistles might not be ready for this game, but eventually Sporting Park will be among the most technologically advanced. The pitch looks perfect. The stands look impressive. The only question is whether or not the product on the field can live up to everything else.
Columbus Crew vs. Real Salt Lake, 7:30 p.m., Wednesday
After more than two months of uninspiring play, RSL finally looked like the team many of us expected them to be during last Saturday's 2-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps. That it came with several starters missing due to international duty and a strikeforce that included midfielder Jean Alexandre at forward is no small feat. Mainly, that's because this is the team RSL will be forced to play with for the next couple weeks as Paulo Jr. continues to recover from an injury and Alvaro Saborio and Arturo Alvarez are with their Gold Cup teams. The Crew, meanwhile, continue to look unimpressive while not falling apart. They haven't won in five matches and have just one win in their past seven, but also have just two losses in that seven-match span. They are also looking particularly thin with their attacking options as Robbie Rogers, Dilly Duka and Tommy Heinemann are all going to be absent and Emilio Renteria is still recovering from an injury. Pick: RSL 1-0.
Sporting Kansas City vs. Chicago Fire, 10 p.m., Thursday (ESPN2)
At long last, Sporting will finally get to play a match at home. The 10-match road trip to open the season did not go quite as smoothly as SKC brass had hoped and they have recently expressed the opinion that petitioning to open the season that way was maybe not the best idea. As they prepare to open Livestrong Sporting Park, they sit on six points and will likely need to average no fewer than 2 points per home match just to have any hope of making the playoffs. That effort starts with a match agains the Chicago Fire, a team that is off to a pretty disappointing start themselves. Their win against SKC in Week 2 remains their only win of the season as they are in the midst of a 10-match winless streak (even longer than SKC, if you can believe it). They looked dangerous at times last week against the Seattle Sounders, but were obviously missing the contributions of Marco Pappa. Pick: SKC 2-1.

Morris to open Ashley store in Cincy
February 15, 2013-- Furniture Today,
CINCINNATI - Top 100 retailer Morris Furniture will open an Ashley Furniture HomeStore this spring in the Eastgate Crossings Shopping Center here.
The 25,000-square-foot showroom will also include an expanded mattress selection in The Better Sleep Shop, which will have a separate storefront. It will be the Fairborn, Ohio based retailer's sixth Ashley store and its third in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky market.
The retailer's first Ashley Furniture HomeStore in that market opened in Cincinnati in 2004 and a second was opened last year in nearby Florence, Ky., as part of five store complex called Morris Home Center.
Both existing Cincinnati area Ashley locations also include an adjacent Better Sleep Shop.
"We are excited to bring our Ashley Furniture HomeStore and Better Sleep Shop showrooms to the growing Eastgate shopping area," said Larry Klaben, the retailer's president and CEO. "This new location will allow us to bring America's number one home furnishings brand closer to many Cincinnati shoppers already visiting our Tri-County and Florence locations."
Morris Furniture currently operates 21 stores in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky, Dayton and Columbus, Ohio, markets under the Morris Home Furnishings, Ashley Furniture HomeStore, Better Sleep Shop, Big TV Store at Morris and Morris Back Room formats.

From here, he became friends with some good yankees who would take him to games and give him souvenirs and film tapes. l must admit he was sold onto America's team.But l was sold out on the Red & Gold Swagga of Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Mr Prime Time & Co.

The Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback depth chart remains somewhat uncertain heading into this Sunday's division matchup against New York Giants. While Michael Vick seems likely to return from his hamstring injury, Nick Foles has yet to be cleared to practice, reports Geoff Mosher of CSN Philly.
Foles, who took over for an injured Vick in Week 6, suffered a concussion during last week's loss to the Cowboys and is still experiencing symptoms.
Vick was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and, according to reports, will get the starting nod on Sunday, barring a setback. If Foles is unable to suit up, rookie Matt Barkley will serve as the primary backup.
Vick won the starting job during the preseason and was off to a good start this year when he tweaked a hamstring scrambling in the first half of the Eagles' previous win over the Giants. Foles was brilliant in the second half and followed that performance up with a three-touchdown day in a win over the Buccaneers a week later.
Stirrings of a quarterback controversy were beginning to mount in Philly until last Sunday, when Foles' struggling performance came to an early end after he was concussed late in the third quarter.

Financial Policy
Additional DA for Central Govt staff
Our Bureau
New Delhi , March 24
THE Union Cabinet on Thursday gave its approval for the release of additional instalment of dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief to Central Government employees and pensioners with effect from January 1 this year.
Thus, the rate of DA will be 17 per cent from that date for all Central employees, a three-percentage-point increase from the existing 14 per cent.
The additional financial implications on account of this increase are estimated at Rs 1,146.24 crore a year and Rs 1,337.28 crore from January 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006.
In the case of pensioners, the additional financial implications work out to Rs 462 crore a year. In another decision, the Cabinet also approved Rs 978-crore budgetary support to the National Jute Mills Corporation (NJMC) for providing the voluntary retirement scheme, liquidating statutory arrears, gratuity and secured liabilities.

.wine frozen after EU complaint
ICANN has frozen the applications for .wine and .vin new gTLDs, again, following a complaint about process violations from the Governmental Advisory Committee.
The New gTLD Program Committee of the ICANN board on Thursday voted to prevent any of the four affected applicants signing Registry Agreements for at least 60 days.
But the NGPC found that there had been "no process violation or procedural error" when it decided to take the .wine and .vin applications off hold status during the Singapore meeting last month.
The 60-day freeze is "to provide additional time for the relevant impacted parties to negotiate", the resolution states.
The GAC advise in its Singapore communique stated that it had not had time to comment upon "external advice" — believed to be an opinion of a French lawyer (pdf) — that the NGPC had used in its deliberations.
That would have been a violation of ICANN's bylaws.
The GAC said that ICANN should "reconsider" its decision to allow the applications to proceed and should give the applicants more time to negotiate a truce with the governments opposed to their proposed gTLDs.
The European Union wants .wine and .vin blocked unless the applicants promise to implement special protections for "geographic indicators" such as "Champagne" and "Bordeaux".
But other nations, including the US, Canada and Australia, don't want these protections. The GAC has therefore been unable to provide consensus advice against either string.
Essentially, the NGPC this week has found none of the bylaws violations alleged by the GAC, but has nevertheless given the GAC what it asked for in its Singapore communique. ICANN explained:
In sum, the NGPC has accepted the GAC advice and has carefully reviewed and evaluated whether there was a procedure or process violation under the Bylaws. The NGPC has determined that there was not because, among other reasons, ICANN did not seek the Independent Legal Analysis as External Expert Advice pursuant to Article XI-A, or any other portion of the Bylaws.
It's not "policy", it's "implementation", in other words.
The NGPC also, despairingly I imagine, has suggested that the full ICANN board might want to take a look at the broader issues in play here, resolving:
the NGPC recommends that the full Board consider the larger implications of legally complex and politically sensitive issues such as those raised by GAC members, including whether ICANN is the proper venue in which to resolve these issues, or whether there are venues or forums better suited to address concerns such as those raised by GAC members in relation to the .WINE and .VIN applications.
While I'm sure 60 days won't be too much of a burden for these long-delayed applicants, this rather vague promise for more talks about "larger implications" may prove a cause for concern.
No sunrise periods for dot-brands
ICANN has finally signed off on a set of exemptions that would allow dot-brand gTLDs to skip sunrise periods and, probably, work only with hand-picked registrars.
Its board's New gTLD Program Committee passed a resolution at ICANN 49 last week that would add a new Specification 13 (pdf) to Registry Agreements signed by dot-brands.
The new spec removes the obligation operate a sunrise period, which is unnecessary for a gTLD that will only have a single registrant. It also lets dot-brands opt out of treating all registrars equally.
Dot-brands would still have to integrate with the Trademark Clearinghouse and would still have to operate Trademark Claims periods — if a dot-brand registers a competitor's name in its own gTLD during the first 90 days post-launch, the competitor will find out about it.
ICANN is also proposing to add another clause to Spec 13 related to registrar exclusivity, but has decided to delay the addition for 45 days while it gets advice from the GNSO on whether it's consistent with policy.
That clause states that the dot-brand registry may choose to "designate no more than three ICANN accredited registrars at any point in time to serve as the exclusive registrar(s) for the TLD."
This is to avoid the silly situation where a dot-brand is obliged to integrate with registrars from which it has no intention of buying any domain names.
Spec 13 also provides for a two-year cooling off period after a dot-brand ceases operations, during which ICANN will not delegate the same string to another registry unless there's a public interest need to do so.
The specification contains lots of language designed to prevent a registry gaming the system to pass off a generic string as a brand.
There doesn't seem to be a way to pass off a trademark alone, without a business to back it up, as a brand. Neither is there a way to pass off a descriptive generic term as a brand.
The rules seem to allow Apple to have .apple as a dot-brand, because Apple doesn't sell apples, but would not allow a trousers company to have .trousers as a dot-brand.
ICANN muddles through solution to IGO conflict
ICANN may have come up with a way to appease both the GNSO and the GAC, which are at conflict over the best way to protect the names and/or acronyms of intergovernmental organizations.
At the public forum of the ICANN 49 meeting in Singapore last Thursday, director Bruce Tonkin told the community that the ICANN board will consider the GNSO's recommendations piecemeal instead of altogether.
It will also convene a meeting of the GNSO, GAC, IGOs, international nongovernmental organizations and the At-Large Advisory Committee to help reach a consensus.
The issue, you may recall from a DI post last week, is whether the names and acronyms of IGOs and INGOs should be blocked in all new gTLDs.
The GNSO is happy for the names to be protected, but draws the line at protecting acronyms, many of which are dictionary words or have multiple uses. The GAC wants protection for both.
Both organizations have gone through their respective processes to come to full consensus policy advice.
This left ICANN in the tricky situation of having to reject advice from one or the other; its bylaws did not make a compromise easy.
By splitting the GNSO's 20 or so recommendations up and considering them individually, the ICANN board may be able to reconcile some with the GAC advice.
It would also be able to reject bits of GAC advice, specific GNSO recommendations, or both. Because the advice conflicts directly in some cases, rejection of something seems probable.
But ICANN might not have to reject anything, if the GAC, GNSO and others can come to an agreement during the special talks ICANN has in mind, which could happen as soon as the London meeting in June.
Even if those talks lead to nothing, this proposed solution does seem to be good news for ICANN perception-wise; it won't have to blanket-reject either GNSO or GAC policy advice.
This piecemeal or 'scorecard' approach to dealing with advice hasn't been used with GNSO recommendations before, but it is how the board has dealt with complex GAC advice for the last few years.
It's also been used with input from non-GNSO bodies such as the Whois Review Team and Accountability and Transparency Review Team.
Judging by a small number of comments made by GNSO members at the public forum on Thursday, the solution the board has proposed seems to be acceptable.
ICANN may have dodged a bullet here.

EU buys more time for .wine talks after surprise GAC objection
The ICANN Governmental Advisory Committee deposited a shock fly into the wine-related gTLD ointment tonight, asking ICANN to delay approval of .wine and .vin on a technicality.
ICANN's board of directors had at the weekend basically approved the two new gTLDs, over the objections of the European Union, but the GAC today said the board's decision hadn't followed the rules.
In its communique (pdf) issued at the end of the just-concluded ICANN 49 meeting in Singapore, the GAC said: "In the final deliberation of the Board there appears to be at least one process violation and procedural error".
The procedure in question is the part of the ICANN bylaws that says the GAC "shall have an opportunity to comment upon any external advice received prior to any decision by the Board."
The GAC therefore advises:
That the Board reconsider the matter before delegating these strings.
The GAC needs to consider the above elements more fully. In the meantime concerned GAC members believe the applicants and interested parties should be encouraged to continue their negotiations with a view to reach an agreement on the matter.
The only "external advice" referenced in the ICANN decision on .wine was the legal opinion (pdf) of French law professor Jerome Passa.
Reading between the lines (I have not yet listened to all of the GAC's public deliberations this week, so I'm speculating) it seems Passa's opinion was not provided to the GAC before the ICANN board made its call.
I'm further assuming that the EU or one of its member states spotted the bylaws provision about external advice notice and cunningly used it to revive the .wine debate.
The GAC has declined to object to .wine and .vin because countries such as the US and Australia disagree with the EU's position on the international law governing geographic indicators such as "Champagne".
But no matter what other GAC members think about the European demands GI protections, it would have been very hard for them to argue in favor of an ICANN board decision that violated process.
Even if there's very little chance of rustling up a consensus objection against these two gTLDs, the EU seems to have successfully added delay to the approval process, giving it leverage over the applicants.
I'm impressed.
While this may not change the eventual outcome, it at least buys the EU more time to negotiate with the .wine and .vin applicants about protection for geographic indicators.
This apparent oversight, coupled with the controversy this week about rights protection mechanisms for intergovernmental organizations, makes me wonder whether ICANN's legal department might need a refresher course on the ICANN bylaws.
Or maybe, more likely, the bylaws are just such a bloody mess that even the smartest guys in the room can't keep track of them any more.
Under global spotlight, ICANN forced to choose between GAC and the GNSO
ICANN has angered the Generic Names Supporting Organization and risks angering the Governmental Advisory Committee as it prevaricates over a controversial rights protection mechanism.
It looks like the ICANN board of directors is going to have decide whether to reject either a hard-won unanimous consensus GNSO policy recommendation or a piece of conflicting GAC advice.
ICANN is "stuck in a bind", according to chairman Steve Crocker, and it's a bind that comes at a time when the bottom-up multi-stakeholder process is under the global microscope.
The issue putting pressure on the board this week at the ICANN 49 public meeting here in Singapore is the protection of the names and acronyms of intergovernmental organizations.
IGOs pressured the GAC a few years ago into demanding protection in new gTLDs. They want every IGO name and acronym — hundreds of strings — blocked from registration by default.
For example, the Economic Cooperation Organization would have "economiccooperationorganization" and "eco" blocked at the second level in all new gTLDs, in much the same way as country names are reserved.
Other IGO acronyms include potentially useful dictionary-word strings like "who" and "idea". As I've said before, protecting the useful acronyms of obscure IGOs that never get cybersquatted anyway is just silly.
But when ICANN approved the new gTLD program in 2011, for expediency it placed a temporary block on some of these strings and asked the GNSO to run a formal Policy Development Process to figure out a permanent fix.
In November 2012 it added hundreds more IGO names and acronyms to the list, while the GNSO continued its work.
The GNSO concluded its PDP last year with a set of strong consensus recommendations. The GNSO Council then approved them in a unanimous vote at the Buenos Aires meeting last November.
Those recommendations would remove the IGO acronyms from the temporary reserved names list, but would enable IGOs to enter those strings into the Trademark Clearinghouse instead.
Once in the TMCH, the acronyms would be eligible for the standard 90-day Trademark Claims mechanism, which alerts brand owners when somebody registers a name matching their mark.
The IGOs would not, however, be eligible for sunrise periods, so they wouldn't have the special right to register their names before new gTLDs go into general availability.
The PDP did not make a recommendation that would allow IGOs to use the Uniform Rapid Suspension service or UDRP.
Unfortunately for ICANN, the GNSO recommendations conflict with the GAC's current advice.
The GAC wants (pdf) the IGOs to be eligible for Trademark Claims on a "permanent" basis, as opposed to the 90-day minimum that trademark owners get. It also wants IGOs — which don't generally enjoy trademark protection — to be made eligible for the URS, UDRP or some similar dispute resolution process.
Since Buenos Aires, the ICANN board's New gTLD Program Committee has been talking to the GAC and IGOs about a compromise. That compromise has not yet been formally approved, but some initial thinking has been circulated by Crocker to the GAC and GNSO Council.
ICANN proposes to give IGOs the permanent Trademark Claims service that the GAC has asked for, as well as access to the URS. Both policies would have to be modified to allow this.
It would also create an entirely new arbitration process to act as a substitute for UDRP for IGOs, which are apparently legally unable to submit to the jurisdiction of national courts.
The compromise, while certainly overkill for a bunch of organizations that could hardly be seen as ripe cybersquatting targets, may seem like a pragmatic way for the board to reconcile the GNSO recommendations with the GAC advice without pissing anyone off too much.
But members of the GNSO are angry that the board appears to be on the verge of fabricating new policy out of whole cloth, ignoring its hard-won PDP consensus recommendations.
That's top-down policy-making, something which is frowned upon within ICANN circles.
Under the ICANN bylaws, the board is allowed to reject a GNSO consensus recommendation, if it is found to be "not in the best interests of the ICANN community or ICANN". A two-thirds majority is needed.
"That's not what happened here," Neustar's vice president of registry services Jeff Neuman told the board during a meeting here in Singapore on Tuesday.
"Instead, the board on its own developed policy," he said. "It did not accept, it did not reject, it developed policy. But there is no room in the ICANN bylaws for the board to do this with respect to a PDP."
He said that the GNSO working group had already considered elements of ICANN's compromise proposal and specifically rejected them during the PDP. Apparently speaking for the Registries Stakeholder Group, Neuman said the compromise should be taken out of consideration.
Bret Fausett of Uniregistry added: "The process here is as important to us as the substance. We think procedure wasn't followed here and we detect a lack of understanding at the board level that process wasn't followed."
The GNSO Council seems to agree that the ICANN board can either accept or reject its recommendations, but what it can't do is just write its own policies for the sake of a quiet life with the GAC.
To fully accept the GNSO's recommendations would, however, necessitate rejecting the GAC's advice. That's also possible under the bylaws, but it's a lengthy process.
Director Chris Disspain told the GNSO Council on Sunday that the board estimates it would take at least six months to reject the GAC's advice, during which time the temporary reservations of IGO acronyms would remain active.
He further denied that the board is trying to develop policy from the top.
"It is not top-down, it's not intended to be top-down, I can't really emphasis that enough," he told the Council.
He described the bylaws ability to reject the GNSO recommendations as a "sledgehammer".
"It would be nice to be able to not have to use the sledgehammer," he said. "But if we did have to use the sledgehammer we should only be using it because we've all agreed that's what we have to do."
Chair Steve Crocker summed up the board's predicament during the Sunday meeting.
"We always do not want to be in the position of trying to craft our own policy decision," he said. "So we're stuck in this bind where we're getting contrary advice from sources that feel very strongly that they've gone through their processes and have spoken and so that's the end of it from that perspective."
The bind is especially tricky because it's coming at a time when ICANN is suddenly becoming the focus of a renewed global interest in internet governance issues.
The US government has said that it's willing to walk away from its direct oversight of ICANN, but only if what replaces it is a "multi-stakeholder" rather than "intergovernmental" mechanism
If ICANN were to reject the proceeds of a two-year, multi-stakeholder, bottom-up, consensus policy, what message would that send to the world about multistakeholderism?
On the other hand, if ICANN rejects the advice of the GAC, what message would it send about governments' ability to effectively participate as a stakeholder in the process?
Clearly, something is broken when the procedures outlined in ICANN's bylaws make compromise impossible.
Until that is fixed — perhaps by getting the GAC involved in GNSO policy-making, something that has been talked about to no end for years — ICANN will have to continue to make these kinds of hard choices.
Fielding a softball question during a meeting with the GNSO Council on Saturday, ICANN CEO Fadi Chehade said that "to value the process as much as I value the result" is the best piece of advice he's received.
"Policies get made here," Chehade told the Council, "they should not be made at the board level, especially when a consensus policy was made by the GNSO. Akram [Atallah, Generic Domains Division president] today was arguing very hard at the board meeting that even if we don't think it's the right thing, but it is the consensus policy of the GNSO, we should stick with it."
Will the board stick with it? Director Bruce Tonkin told the registries on Monday that the board would try to address their concerns by today, so we may not have to wait long for an answer.

My teacher just sent us an email asking that we don't forget to send the last essay-ish-thing we have to do this week because some students really need this grade since they didn't turn in a previous work.
My first thought was "Yeah and some have waited the entire semester for you to read a five page essay that you asked for." :I Every time she mentions it I get tempted to just send "I didn't write it because you wouldn't read it anyway." I won't do it, but a part of me insists that I should. I don't know but I don't think I can ever forgive her for being so ridiculously incompetent. It's five freaking pages, it can't be that hard to read it. And I'm the only one in this class still waiting for it! It's way too unfair.
And then people say I procrastinate!

When UFC welterweight Rick Story made his way to the octagon at the finale for TUF 12 he knew exactly what was at stake. Story, who was riding a four fight win streak going into the bout, would need to get past former NCAA Division 1 wrestling champion Johny Hendricks who was unbeaten in his professional career and had looked impressive every step of the way. The fighter with his hand raised at the end of the match would see the doors to the next tier of competition opened while the loser would be in danger of being reshuffled into the competitive deck of the 170 lb. weight class.
From the start Story pursued Hendricks with his aggressive and powerful style as he used stinging leg kicks and combinations to put Hendricks into the cage. Once on the fence Story tore away at the body with flurries of big punches that took an immediate toll. Hendricks was able to circle out and keep Story at a distance with his constant movement and a counter left hand. As the end of the first round drew near, Hendricks scored a late takedown hoping to steal the frame from Story's grasp.
The second round would follow a similar path with the major difference coming in two strong takedowns from the Vancouver Washington native. Story was able to get Hendrick's back but the savvy Hendricks was ultimately able to shake free. On their feet Story returned to his assault on Henrick's rib cage as he pummeled his opponent's body with more punches and short knees from the clinch. Hendricks continued to avoid the stand up exchanges and as the second round came to an end Story looked to be winning the fight. Rather than come out aggressive looking to mix it up in the final frame, Hendricks's only focus was taking Story to the ground. The entire third round was spent with Hendricks pinning Story's back against the cage and despite being able to take Story down for brief windows Hendricks's inability to score points or do damage were not enough to turn the tides of the outcome. When the judge's scorecards were read Story was awarded the unanimous decision victory and his fifth consecutive win inside the octagon...putting the first blemish on the career record of Hendricks. I recently caught up with the Brave Legion fighter and in this Bloody Elbow post fight exclusive Story talked about the new set of challenges that await and broke down the victory over Hendricks.
"Honestly I didn't think I won that first round," Story stated. "Even though I was aggressive and scored a takedown it just felt that I didn't do enough to win the round. When I went back and watched the fight I realized then that I did do enough to take the first and overall I honestly believe I won both the first and second while Hendricks won the third. I'll be the first to say that it wasn't the most exciting fight but with the way that things were happening and he didn't seem that he was willing to exchange...it made it difficult to make it that exciting."
Story continued, "I wanted to exchange a lot more than we did and honestly when he had me pushed up against the fence I was expecting him to open up and try to finish me but he didn't. He held me against the fence and with him being such a good wrestler it was hard to get away from. I was sitting there and he wasn't doing anything damage wise and we remained it those positions, not moving for big windows of time. I was waiting for Mazzagatti to stand us back up and if you watch the fight you'll see me look up at him a couple of times like "c'mon man...nothing's happening." I didn't vocalize it but it was obvious that nothing was going on so I wanted the fight stood back up and allow us to get to exchanging a bit. When he went for the single I locked up the kimura but until he moved his head from in front of my hips I was just using it to protect myself from the takedown. There were big lapses of inactivity and when I realized that the fight wasn't going back to the feet I started trying to stand up and doing my best to get away. Hendricks is tough and the last thing I wanted to happen is for him to get a late takedown and end up with Johny on top of me. If that would have happened I'm sure he would have picked it up to finish strong and I didn't want to get caught with a random punch at the end of the fight."
The victory makes it five in a row for Story but it is obvious that there is one particular statistic that gets under his skin. Of the five wins, three have come by some form of decision and for a fighter with the determination and aggression that Story carries with him into the octagon even a big victory like the over Hendricks can be somewhat bittersweet.
"Of course I'm happy with the win," Story explained then paused for a moment. "I'm not going to be unhappy with it. If I was going to be unhappy it would be that it wasn't as exciting of a fight that I had hoped because I was expecting Johny to be more aggressive. Watching his previous fights he was always the aggressor and this time he was stepping in, to the side and backing away. He didn't welcome the exchanges as much as I would have thought so I was disappointed in that aspect and it caught me off guard because I was expecting him to attack a lot more. With my performance it was the best head movement I've ever had and I've been working on my kicks quite a bit so I'm happy with those. Technique wise I'm happy. I bunched my punches up quite a bit and didn't keep them out in the end which can result in clinches and the slowing to the pace of a fight. I know there are things that I mentally have to work on and focus my training around in the future. I need to work on keeping my distance if I am going to get the knockout or to keep a fight exciting."
Of the storylines that surrounded the matchup one that managed to grab attention came in the wrestling credentials carried by both fighters. Story, a runner up for the NAIA wrestling title while Hendricks won a NCAA Division 1 National Champion for Oklahoma State would test their skills against one another in a matchup where wrestling was just one of the tools that could and would come into play.
"Going into the fight I wasn't going to beat the ego angle when it came to wrestling," Story stated. "I accepted the fact that he is a better credentialed wrestler but the thing is I've learned quite a bit and I know that I can hang with the best wrestlers out there. I've done it time in and time out. I wasn't really worried about the wrestling aspect as much as people probably would have thought. I know that I'm strong enough and if I'm throwing punches it's going to change a wrestling match real quick."
As the action between Story and Hendricks stayed in transitions between wrestling and clinching it became clear in the middle of the third round the fight had a high probability of going to the judges. Earlier on the card, the now infamous Garcia over Phan decision had been issued and as the clocked ticked towards the final bell it crossed Story's mind that everything was now up for grabs.
"I was warming up when the fight was happening," Story added. "I wasn't actually paying attention to what was going on in their fight until somebody said "I can't believe he lost!" and that's when I turned my attention to it. I had been glancing over at the fight from time to time in the warm up room and I thought that Phan definitely should have won. At the end of my fight I didn't know exactly what was going to happen. My assumption was Johny's from Vegas...he has a lot of friends in Vegas so he's kind of like the hometown boy so I didn't know if that was going to work in his favor. Honestly I didn't know who won the fight at the end."
Immediately following the Garcia over Phan decision, UFC commentator Joe Rogan made a public push for judging reform in MMA. Story had come out of the event reaping the benefits of square judging but it is frightening that even a fighter who does everything right still has to worry at least somewhat when a bout goes the distance.
"Of course I would like things to be fair and there are some changes that could help the judging situation," Story added. "But if I plan on being the fighter I am right now then I want to leave it out of the judge's hands and finish fights. When I don't finish I start to get a so-so feeling about it all because I want to win definitively. So I do want some changes to happen but I'm not going to emphasize on it because I want to be the sure winner and the only way to do that is by finishing fights."
Leading up to the bout with Hendricks the pre-fight build up sold the fact the winner was graduating up to become a Top 10 fighter in the division. It can be an important step in a young fighter's career but rather than bask in the glory of a job well done, Story simply sees it as the next step towards the top.
"There is a sense of accomplishment and everyone who has approached me has told me that I've done a good job," Story shared "but in the back of my mind I'm not performing good enough and need to keep driving harder and harder. Fighting a Top 10 that's great...but I need to be number one and in that focus it's not going to be good enough until I'm there. There is a sense of accomplishment but I'm not going to sit and blow on it, relax and start thinking that I've finally made it because the work is just now getting started. I've only been training and fighting professionally for 3 ½ years and I've got a ton to learn. I am fortunate to be fighting at the level I'm fighting after such a short time but there is still so much for me to learn and I look forward to bettering myself every single practice, every single minute of every single day."
A successful young fighter's profile increases in visibility with each win in the cage but rather than get lost in the new attention, Story has his focus staked firmly into stark cold reality. Five consecutive wins in the most popular organization in MMA would have most fighters spinning their wheels a bit but Story knows if he is going to be the fighter he set out to become there are things that need to change.
"I need to have more confidence in my hands and I need to keep people off the end of my punches," Story declared. "I get too excited and too close to people to do as much damage as I can do. I just need to take a breath...step back and keep people off my punches and that will change me into a finisher rather than somebody who just wins decisions. That's going to be my entire focus from here on out...I have to finish fights. That's it."
While Story may be a fighter on the rise he knows that he doesn't walk alone. He has a coach and an entire team behind him that keeps pushing forward every step of the way and as his journey continues, the Vancouver Washington native invites anyone out there looking to train to stop by and get into the mix.
"I want to give thanks to my team Brave Legion. Anyone who is in the northwest and wants to train with my team check out www.bravelegion.com and we can make it happen."

Dr. Don,
We have an 80/20 loan. The 20 is a balloon that
has a balance due after 20 years. We've had our
house for about two years. Is it possible to take
out a home equity loan now and pay off the 20
loan so that our money is going toward the loan
and there will be no balance due at the end of
the loan?
I appreciate your time,
-- Amanda Abridger
You mortgage financing structure is what's known
as a piggyback loan. The first mortgage is an
80 percent loan-to-value so you aren't required
to carry private mortgage insurance, or PMI, on
the mortgage. The second mortgage finances the
balance, less any down payment you made on the
purchase. In your case, with an 80/20 loan, that
means that you didn't have an equity stake in
the home at closing.
There already is a second mortgage on the property. It just has a balloon payment after 20 years instead of having amortized payments over that time period.
Depending on what's going on in your local real estate market, you may not be able to refinance the existing second into a new, amortizing loan. I'm not sure you need to just yet.
You can work out your own repayment schedule and make additional
principal payments each month on the second mortgage
and accomplish the same result as you could with
a refinancing. Why not try that for a while?
Use Bankrate's mortgage
payment calculator to solve for what it would
take to pay off the loan in the remaining 18 years,
using the interest rate and the loan balance.
It won't be perfect, since your current second
is likely to be an adjustable-rate loan, but it'll
be close enough to get started.
To ask a question of Dr. Don,

the Experts" page, and select one of
these topics: "financing a home," "saving
& investing" or "money."

Fun at Hale Pre-School
4:10pm Saturday 17th November 2012 in News By Karen Bate
TINY tots at Hale Pre-School were taken on a journey through a snowy forest by performers from Salisbury Arts Centre's theatre company Hoodwink.
The story telling was accompanied with props from a New Forest ranger, including antlers and true-to-life forest creatures.
Hale Pre School manager Lucilla Cook said: "The children have had a very enriching forest experience. It has been great fun and adds a new dimension to living in the Forest."
Halloween was celebrated with Halloween teas, spooky cakes, lucky dips and scary tattoos. The event raised £300 for pre-school funds.
Chairman Isla Cox said: "The pre-school has a very strong community spirit and our events are always very well supported by parents and local people. We really appreciate their ongoing support."

The Lakers season is over and it's time to look ahead to what should be a very busy Summer for the purple and gold.
The Lakers are now one loss away from their season coming to an end after losing Game 3 in Los Angeles.
The Lakers continue to deal with injuries. The latest batch of updates has Steve Blake out indefinitely, and the outlook isn't much better for Steve Nash and Jodie Meeks.
The Spurs offense wasn't wheeling and dealing like it was in game one, and the Spurs put the Lakers away as they took game two in San Antonio.
Because we love dunks, and love when Pau Gasol gets a lob in from the high post to Dwight Howard.
After hip surgery three months ago Jordan Hill may return for the Lakers in game two against the Spurs.
The Spurs dared the Lakers to beat them on the perimeter and packed the paint. The Lakers will need to take advantage of the many open looks the Spurs gave up, or San Antonio will continue throwing...
The Los Angeles Lakers worked hard, but just could not get anything going offensively in a game that was never really close.
The Silver Screen and Roll editorial staff gazes into the crystal ball and predicts what will happen between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs.
Lakers/Spurs Positional Breakdown: Forwards & Centers
Even with all the injuries, even with a disappointing regular season, buried within the Los Angeles Lakers is a team concept which can compete with anybody. Can the Lakers find it?
A deep look at the game film of the season series between the Lakers and Spurs, and how the Spurs' offense found success against the Lakers.
NBA Playoffs-Lakers/Spurs Positional Breakdown: Guards
A look back at the three games the Lakers and Spurs played against one another through the season, and a handful of season-series stats.
Since Game 1, the Los Angeles Lakers have been fighting through a wilderness of struggle that none of us are familiar with. 82 games later, we're back where we belong.
The Lakers are headed to the playoffs as the seventh seed and have drawn the Spurs in the first round. The full schedule for the series.

CAPE CORAL: Members of the Cape Coral City Council are looking for new ways to cut millions of dollars from the budget. Nearly every department will be affected.
The cuts will lessen the blow of a proposed double digit millage rate increase.
Council members cut out $8.6 million. It means the average homeowner would save about $85 on their tax bill
The council decided to cut 47 positions, eight police and three firefighter positions won't be filled.
In addition no new police cars or fire trucks will be bought.
These cuts bring the millage rate to 7.9, which is still a large increase from 4.7.
Cape Coral Mayor Jim Burch says the cuts were a monumental task and he's satisfied with where the budget stands now.
"It's never pleasant to raise the mil rate, we had to raise the mil. We are above the other mil rate, no question about it. But we've lost so much of our revenue that we had to do that in order to keep this city at least vibrant enough to where can continue to prosper and grow in the future," said Burch.
Council members had proposed going to a four day work week, but unions said no. That's why the other cuts had to be made.
The final budget and millage rate will be voted on next Wednesday.

Just when the season can't get any worse, All-Star reliever Steve Delabar has been placed on the 15-day disabled list due to shoulder inflammation:
Steve Delabar placed on DL with shoulder inflammation. #BlueJays will recall JA Happ to take his place— Shi Davidi (@ShiDavidi) August 4, 2013
Delabar has a 2.90 ERA in 46 games this season, but had a rough outing two days ago costing the Blue Jays a win against the Angels.
J.A. Happ comes back to Toronto after being out since May 7 after being hit in the head with a line drive and hurting his knee (which was actually the more serious injury). Happ wasn't pitching very good at the beginning of the season, having a 4.91 ERA in 7 starts before the injury in Tampa Bay. Hopefully he can get a fresh start after a few months off and help shore up the rotation problems.

You got a bad problem cause they are very obviously hunting in a pack. A single yote isn't much of a problem for any deer but a pack is another story.
My guess is start hunting them this winter but right now they will cause your deer to move if they are out chasing the deer. My bet is they are. I'd walk the property to see if you can see any kills they made recently. I'd also take a yote call to the stand just in case you see one out during the day to bring in to range.

Publication: TheDay.com
Groton – The Board of Education approved a construction plan Monday night as a way to address the needs of the town's aging schools and to help solve the racial imbalance at Claude Chester Elementary School.
The proposed building plan would construct one new middle school for grades 6 to 8, as close as possible to Robert E. Fitch High School, and would convert Cutler and West Side middle schools into elementary schools for students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.
Pleasant Valley, S.B. Butler and Claude Chester elementary schools would close. The three elementary schools were built more than 70 years ago.
The plan goes goes to the School Facilities Task Force to determine whether it's feasible and how much it would cost. The proposal would then return to the school board for a final vote before going to the town council, Representative Town Meeting and a referendum for final approval.
School board Chairwoman Rita Volkmann, who cast the sole opposing vote, said she wanted the middle school to be adjacent to the high school.
But she added, "I'm happy that this is finally moving forward."
The town was cited last month for a racial imbalance at Claude Chester, less than 10 months after moving 16 percent of its elementary school students to correct a racial imbalance at another school, Catherine Kolnaski Magnet School. The district must submit a plan to address the problem by Sept. 12 and the state Board of Education must approve that plan.
The state considers a school out of balance if the percentage of minority students there is greater or less than 25 percent of the district average. The minority student population at Claude Chester is 68.2 percent, compared to a district average of 43 percent.
At a separate meeting earlier on Monday, the school board also discussed the possibility of renovating the elementary schools and of pairing S.B. Butler with Claude Chester. If the two schools were joined, S.B. Butler would be renovated to serve students in pre-kindergarten through second grade, and Claude Chester would be renovated to serve students in grades 3 through 5.
But Superintendent Michael Graner said renovating the elementary schools alone would not address the racial imbalance or the inequity of programs in the middle schools.
"I think it's going to be very expensive to not solve the problem," he said.
Making S. B. Butler and Claude Chester "sister schools" would improve racial balance but would require busing children as young as 4 years old outside their neighborhoods, Graner said.

South Carolina Probation and Parole agents in Charleston County are looking for 21 year old Thomas Clayton Johnson.
Johnson is wanted for a probation violation after being found guilty of discharging a firearm into a dwelling.
"Anytime someone has access to weapons and will do something as serious as discharging a firearm into a dwelling, it gives me caution and I definitely want to see this young man brought in safely," said agent in charge Mitchell Ray.
Johnson hasn't reported to his probation officer since November 2010. Agents say he's done a good job hiding from them.
"We recently conducted a warrant team operation at his last known address. All of our leads and efforts have come up with nothing," Ray said.
Johnson could have been sentenced to up to six years in prison, but because of his age and lack of a record at the time, the judge decided to give him probation, according to authorities.
"That's why we're concerned when someone gets a break of this nature and doesn't take it seriously, you want to make sure this type of person is brought to justice quickly," said Ray.
Authorities say it's possible Johnson may be armed with a gun.
He stands 5'11" and weighs about 135 lbs.
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers at 554-1111.
