When a patient acquires a new illness, or is injured by the services provided by a medical provider, then the result is considered to be "iatrogenic". Iatrogenic events may result during diagnosis or treatment, and they may be physical, mental or emotional problems.
The key to the definition is that a new medical problem has cropped up as a result of the actions of the medical provider. The patient would not have gotten sick or hurt had he or she not interfaced with that doctor or other practitioner.
"Iatrogenic" comes from the Greek language. "Iatros" means doctor or healer. "Gennan" means "as a result".
Iatrogenic injury is a form of medical error. These mistakes are never intended, of course, but they are no less harmful to the patient.
- One example of iatrogenesis would be when a patient becomes infected because a doctor or nurse didn't wash his/her hands after touching a previous patient.
- A surgical mistake, such as nicking the patient with a surgical instrument, or removing the wrong kidney or replacing the wrong knee would also be considered iatrogenic.
- Drug conflicts that are documented, but unknown to the prescriber are iatrogenic.
- Even psychological therapies, if they result in further psychoses or neuroses for the patient, would be considered iatrogenic.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Ś Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal called on the Republican Party to ōstop being the stupid partyö on Thursday as GOP leaders promised fundamental changes to help stave off future losses.
In the keynote address at the Republican National CommitteeÆs winter meeting, Jindal said the GOP doesnÆt need to change its values but ōmight need to change just about everything else we are doing.ö
ōWeÆve got to stop being the stupid party. ItÆs time for a new Republican Party that talks like adults,ö he said. ōWe had a number of Republicans damage the brand this year with offensive and bizarre comments. IÆm here to say weÆve had enough of that.ö
Jindal, thought to be a potential 2016 presidential contender, offered little detail in the 25-minute address. He called on conservatives to shift their focus from Capitol Hill number crunching to ōthe place where conservatism thrives Ś in the real world beyond the Washington Beltway.ö
Hours before the speech, Republican leaders promised to release in March a report, dubbed the ōGrowth and Opportunity Project,ö outlining recommendations on party rules and messaging designed to appeal to a rapidly changing American electorate. President Barack ObamaÆs November victory was fueled, in part, by overwhelming support from the nationÆs Hispanic, Asian and African-American communities.
ōLosing is not fun. We want to win,ö said GOP strategist Sally Bradshaw, who is among five people appointed by RNC Chairman Reince Priebus to craft the report.
ōI think youÆre going to see a very renewed, aggressive effort by this party to put on a different face,ö Bradshaw said. ōWe are going to go into areas that we do not go into and see folks that we do not see.ö
Republicans presidential nominee Mitt Romney struggled last fall to win over women and minorities, who overwhelmingly favored President Barack ObamaÆs re-election bid. GOP officials conceded this week that they must change their tone and message, if not their policies, if they hope to expand their appeal in the coming years.
Romney alienated many Hispanic voters by highlighting his support for a fence along the Mexican border and ōself-deportationö of illegal immigrants. Down-ticket Republican candidates alienated female voters by backing new abortion laws in a handful of swing states like Virginia and New Hampshire, while Senate candidate Todd Akin of Missouri hurt himself and his party by declaring that womenÆs bodies could prevent pregnancy in cases of ōlegitimate rape.ö
GOP strategist Ari Fleischer suggested that his party could learn an important lesson from Democrats on messaging: ōRepublicans talk policy and Democrats talk people. Republicans can learn a little bit from Democrats on how to make those people connections with our policies.ö
Asked whether he was considering a presidential bid in 2016, Jindal brushed aside the question. ōAny Republican thatÆs thinking about talking about running for president in 2016 needs to get his head examined,ö he said. ōWeÆve got a lot of work to do.ö
He called on conservatives to stop fighting with Democrats on their terms about the size of government in Washington and focus instead on connecting with voters across the nation.
ōTodayÆs conservatism is completely wrapped up in solving the hideous mess that is the federal budget, the burgeoning deficits, the mammoth federal debt, the shortfall in our entitlement programs,ö he said. ōWe seem to have an obsession with government bookkeeping. This is a rigged game, and it is the wrong game for us to play.ö
JindalÆs comments come a day after the House passed a bill to permit the government to borrow enough money to avoid a first-time default for at least four months, defusing a looming crisis setting up a springtime debate over taxes, spending and the deficit. The House passed the measure on a bipartisan basis as majority Republicans back away from their previous demand that any increase in the governmentÆs borrowing cap be paired with an equivalent level of spending cuts.
The Louisiana governorÆs blunt remarks follow criticism from another high-profile Republican based outside Washington who publicly blasted GOP leadership on Capitol Hill: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
One of the partyÆs most popular voices, Christie earlier in the month criticized his partyÆs `Ætoxic internal politicsö after House Republicans initially declined to approve disaster relief for victims of Superstorm Sandy. He said it was `Ædisgusting to watchö their actions and he faulted the GOPÆs most powerful elected official, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., told reporters on the sidelines of the meeting Thursday that Republicans also need to develop a sound strategy for confronting the Obama administration, suggesting House Republicans could use hearings to expose waste and promote better ideas.
ōA lot of Republicans, frankly, spent the last two years saying, `Oh, gee, we donÆt have to do much because after Obama loses weÆll work with the new Republican president.Æ Well, that world ainÆt there,ö Gingrich said. ōSo now they have to make adjustments. TheyÆve got to understand that this is a different game.ö

Hey,did anyone see Stanford,a 48-point underdog,beat #2 USC last night? And did anyone see the Fightin' Irish beat up UCLA last night? I know,that most of you Gaslamp Ballers are Trojan fans,I respect that,but I am sorry to hear about 'SC's catastrophic loss. But as a die-hard Fightin' Irish fan,I am relieved after the Sons of Erin finally won a game after going 0-5. I know the Trojans are going to put my guys' arse on a platter on October 20,but do remember:The Fightin' Irish's colors are blue and gold. And the Padres colors are blue and gold (but actually sand.) That is the reason why I like the Fightin' Irish-they have the same colors as the Padres. Will the Irish have the momentum from their win over the Bruins continue against 'SC? Or will Philip Fitzsimmons lament another Trojan victory over the team he lives and dies for the most? We'll find out in 13 days. In closing,are there any Gaslamp Ballers out there who are Domers,just like ol' Fitzy? Please tell me why you love the Fightin' Irish by posting. But I do think we Domers are going to be outnumbered by a sea of red and gold in Gaslamp Ball country!
Go Fightin' Irish!! Experience it!!

We've created a communication silo.
This image that I shot reminded me of a moment today. Sometimes I get so caught up in my own world, focusing on immediate issues and tasks at hand. I find myself reminding myself to step back and think about how I can benefit another.


text:
I've been thinking about how to best spend my time for a while. Still, there are always things I can improve. Or I can take my own advice! Here are some tweaks I plan to implement in the coming year.
1. I will get out of the house more often. It's good to meet people. I'm always tempted not to, since it takes time to get myself ready and go someplace, but such meetings often spark new ideas. It's OK to be inefficient sometimes. Maybe 1-2 times per week. I think that might help me take more steps as well, and I seem to be doing a lot of sitting these days.
2. I will start setting an alarm. I realize that new blog readers — especially those who came here due to the What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast juggernaut (it hit #1 on iTunes for business books again this week!) — are going "huh?" I am not a morning person. I work from home, which means I don't have to start a commute at a particular time, and I also have 3 small children. Up until now, someone was inevitably up at 6:30 or so. Alarms have not been necessary. But all this is changing. They are sleeping in sometimes. 7:30! And it's kind of embarrassing to still be in my pajamas when the babysitter shows up at 8. So — I will start my mornings intentionally. I may even be able to implement a morning routine, like those I write about!
3. I will make a new "bits of joy" list, and a new "list of 100 dreams" that reflects my current life. Both lists will help me figure out what I want to spend my time doing. I realized the other day, as I was reminiscing about a little used book store in Muncie, Indiana, that "browse used book stores" should go on my bits of joy list. Now I need to find one around here.
4. I will read before bed. I will go to the library (or used bookstore) at least every week or two so I have good material to read. I've been working through some old New Yorkers, and it's been great, as long as I avoid the political pieces.
5. I will devote time each week to novel writing. I'm finishing up revisions of the current project over the next few weeks, and then it will be time to start the next. Novels just take time to prepare and cook, so the earlier I start, the more time I have to let my characters marinate.
6. I will make a running list of personal projects (e.g. buy a chair for the guest room) and tackle one per week so they don't feel oppressive.
7. I will take healthy work breaks: biking once the weather gets nicer, prepping veggies to roast them for snacks. Taking intentional breaks is better than the unintentional ones that have me checking Twitter (again).
8. I will continue to protect my most productive writing time (8-10 a.m.) for actual writing. I will not sit down at my desk at 8 a.m. without knowing what I should be writing during that stretch.
9. I will keep the phone off for stretches of time on weekends.
10. I will work on planning my weekday evenings — my Achilles heel of time management. It's easiest to putter and let the kids watch TV. That's fine some days but not every day. I may take them out to eat one night a week, and there's the library, or local sports games, or the playground once it gets lighter and the weather gets warmer. The key is planning ahead.
How will you use your time better in 2014?
Photo of the reading nook, which should be used…
Organized kids activities (for us ballet & chorus) make sure that 2 weekday evenings are more exciting than they could be. I'd hate to be out every night (and so are wondering what we'll do when the 3 year old realizes he's old enough for t-ball) but it's a nice way to break up the week.
As for managing time, I'm looking into to assigning certain tasks to a specific day. I need to allocate more working hours to uninterrupted time and I think that by calendaring it in, I might be more successful.
I'm an empty nester and I agree with number 10. I tend to waste my weekday evenings because I'm tired but there is so many projects I could be doing that I put off until the weekend.
I love this list – what great suggestions. Is your 'bits of joy' list things that you enjoy doing so you remember what lifts your spirits, or things that you did that you want to remember? (trying to figure out whether it's suggestions or a journal kind of thing).
I feel positively slothlike that 7:30 is sleeping in for you My kids get up between 7 and 7:30am and I know I should be grateful it's not 5am, but EVERY morning I think it's too early. I am hardwired to be a night owl and maybe fixing that is something I should do in 2014.
Anyway, thanks for the ideas!
The "Sunday Night Blues" are a huge time waste. No matter how much you love your job, it is hard to overcome. If we find a cure for that, we would really have something!
Less facebook.
I don't even think I need to have any other ideas listed, because that one will free up an embarrassing amount of time on a weekly basis.
Oh yeah, you and me both. I'm starting by deleting the app on my phone.
I like the "bits of joy" idea and agree with #10. they both boil down to being more intentional with free time. Yesterday we were home all day and I noticed that when I did have a few minutes when the kids were occupied I would check facebook or email yet again. I'm not big on poetry, but finding other little things to do with those 5-10 minutes is such a good idea!
#10 is one I've struggled with for years, often almost getting into a habit of using weekday evenings for productive tasks and then falling out of the habit again when I get tired. By 8pm I am usually DONE. But yet I stay up for a couple more hours wasting time on the internet or TV (I've been reading a LOT more, but the default is often still internet/TV). I could definitely use that time better or simply go to bed earlier. that's TEN extra hours a week!!
I need to stop using dh's ipad. It lets me hit reload on the internet (my big time waste) but it is a pita to do anything useful on.
Looks like 2014 is going to be very productive for you!
I plan on chunking up my time in 50 minutes of work, followed of 10 minutes of relaxation / physical activity. This has worked wonders in the past so I plan on making it part of my daily routine.
I will read less. A weird one, I know, but I've been using reading as a crutch when I don't know what else to do. I need to start filling some of those bits of time with more interesting/challenging things!
i hope you share the bits of joy list
i have pretty much given up on weekday evenings for this stage of life BUT — like many of your posts — this gives me hope that someday they'll return.
also, removing facebook from my phone = best move of the year thus far
I like your idea about a running list of household projects. We have some that have been put off for an embarrassing amount of time! Surely I can handle 1 per week.
My solution for #10 was to set a no tv rule for Mon thru Thursday… So even if we don't plan something the kids get good free play theme together (they are in school/daycare) and I Am not tempted to turn on the Tv….
Thanks for the list – I love number 3 and am going to adopt it. First visit here and will be back again.

BloodyElbow.com Staff Predictions for UFC 99: June 13th, 2009
Lanxess Arena
Cologne, Germany
Main Card Bouts:
Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei Silva
Luke Thomas: I don't know if Silva is or isn't having his Jens Pulver moment. Like Jens' win over Swanson, I wonder if Silva's win over Jardine is just camouflaging a much larger problem with the fighter's ability to both avoid telegraphed strikes and subsequently recover after being hit. The truth is I just don't know. I accept that Franklin is the more technical, risk savvy fighter of the two and while a volume puncher, that's probably enough here. But I'm going to gamble. I think while Silva can be overwhelmed, he's sitting on the power to end the fight at virtually any time. Franklin likely needs time to put Silva away and the Brazilian has the capability to end the fight with one or two shots anytime before that. That could just be enough. Silva via TKO, round 2.
Kid Nate: My heart says Wanderlei will blitz Franklin, land a couple of jarring hooks, walk right through Franklin's awkward southpaw counters, establish the clinch and win with a brutal barrage of knees to the face. My head says Franklin has learned to avoid the Thai plum and that there's not going to be any walking through his punches forWanderlei. Franklin will soften him up standing, get the takedown and put a beating on the aging and battered Silva that will channel some brutal MMA karma straight from the ghost of Kazushi Sakuraba to Wandy's face. Rich Franklin by TKO.
Brent Brookhouse: You know what? For as much sense as it makes to pick Franklin here I'm going with Wanderlei. I think Wandy's confidence is a really good sign here and he seems inspired to get the W and take on Anderson. Maybe the counters will be a problem for Silva but I just keep seeing the fight in my head as Rich being too careful and allowing The Axe Murderer to hurt him and finish in the first round. So I'm running with it. Wanderlei Silva by TKO, round 1.
Eugene Schelfaut: It doesn't feel good picking Wanderlei to lose, so I won't. I placed money against Silva in the betting game, but I can't side against him when it counts. Wanderlei might have to fight off his back at some point. He takes it, however, standing. Wanderlei Silva by KO, round 2.
Leland Roling: This is an absolute conflict of the heart. I grew up on watching and knowing that Wanderlei Silva was one of the most feared strikers in the world. His tenacity and aggression was a stunning sight to watch. As Wanderlei ages, I fear he'll begin to lose that due to age, but I'd love to see one last flurry from an all-time great. After watching the weigh-ins, heart wins this decision. WARWANDERLEI! Wanderlei Silva by KO, Round 1.
Nick Thomas: I'm hoping Wanderlei pressures Franklin and puts him in the clinch. I can't pick against Wand. Silva by TKO.
Michael Fagan: If you read my gambling article, you know I'm fairly torn on this fight. Wanderlei's looked to have slowed down a bit in his last few fights, but how much? And can Rich prevent the swarm a healthy Silva can offer? I picked him against the line, and I'll him here too. Rich Franklin by decision.
Cheick Kongo vs. Cain Velasquez
Luke Thomas: I'm not convinced Velasquez is the next big thing just yet, but I honestly cannot get the Marrero and Herring fights with Kongo out of my head. I don't think Kongo is going to attempt the takedown on Velasquez as he did with Herring, but he won't be able to stop the AKA product when he does. Velasquez by decision.
Kid Nate: This fight presents a classic cross-trainer's dilemma. Ever since his embarrassing layNpray loss to Carmello Marrero at UFC 65 back in 2006, Kongo, the gifted striker, has been working hard on his wrestling. So much so that he dropped a decision to Heath Herring by relentlessly forcing the fight to the ground where Herring routinely got dominant position. Velasquez, one of the most exciting blue-chip wrestling prospects inMMA history has had some success on his feet. So much so that in his last fight against human heavy bag Denis Stojnic he kept the fight standing way beyond any reasonable point, finally getting the KO but much less impressively than if he had gone with his natural ground and pound gifts. If both fighters fight to their advantage, Velasquez should have the edge winning bygroundNpound TKO, unfortunately its harder to call because both guys are in that Sean Sherk cross-training limbo where they've added new skills but haven't incorporated them into an overall game. I'm going to bet on the more experienced Kongo having learned his lesson, taking Velasquez up on his bid to keep it on the feet. Kongo by KTFO.
Brent Brookhouse: Nate's pick is so similar to what I was thinking it's scary. I think Cain is the latest "wrestler obsessed with his new striking game" who plays the game against the wrong guy. Kongo's wrestling is also a bit underrated by the masses. I think he can fend off atakedown or two if he can get Velasquez desperate after tooling him standing. It's another risky pick but give me the veteran over the prospect. Kongo by TKO, round 2.
Eugene Schelfaut: I think Velasquez gets Kongo to the floor with ease, though it might be after he is drawn into exchanges on the feet. He can lose those and still win. Velasquez by TKO, round 3.
Leland Roling: A lot of fans are picking Velasquez because they are still clinging onto the fact that Kongo has "zero" ground game. It may be true that once he's on his back, it'll be a tough prospect for him to actually escape Cain's attacks, but Kongo's training and knowledge that his ground game is lacking is probably the deciding factor here. He has brutal power standing, huge reach, and powerful kicks that can take the wind out of the sails of Velasquez. If Kongo can stifle Cain'stakedowns, it'll be a short night. Cheick Kongo via TKO, Round 2
Nick Thomas: The more I think about the fight... the more I'm leaning towards Cain taking this. I just think he's the better prospect. Cain will take Kongo down or even win at the stand up. Velasquez by TKO.
Michael Fagan: I don't get all the Kongo-love I see on the internet. He beat Mirko Cro Cop after breaking his rib and busting his balls a couple times. He dropped decisions to Carmelo Marrero and Heath Herring, neither of which are world beaters in the division. Kongo's just above competent on the floor, and Cain's gonna put him on his back almost whenever he wants. Cain Velasquez by TKO, round 2.
Mike Swick vs. Ben Saunders
Luke Thomas: I do like Saunders and while his technical improvement is very laudable, I seriously doubt it's enough. I think there's a band wagon effect on the Saunders hype train after dismantling Brandon Wolff. I don't deny Saunders the legit victory, but it's not nearly enough of an indication to me that Saunders - who can defensively counter fight if pressured - has what it takes to stand up to the more experienced Mike Swick. Swick by decision.
Kid Nate: This is a fast-track title contention fight for the welterweight belt. TUF veteran Swick is marketable and dynamic and the UFC would dearly love to build him into a challenger for the 170lb belt. They've created a no-lose situation for themselves by pitting him against the fast-rising Saunders. Both guys are long and lanky for this division and are dangerous on their feet and are submission threats. I thinkSwick possibly has the striking edge at range and maybe Saunders will have it in the clinch. Even up on the ground. This makes me think it will come down to who's got the edge in wrestling. I'll give that to Swick and the AKA team. Mike Swick by decision.
Brent Brookhouse: I see Swick/Davis 2 coming here. Mike's wrestling is clearly better and if he wants he should be able to get takedowns and control position while landing some occasional damage (and maybe "Swicking out"). Saunders needs to use long strikes and quickly establish a clinch when the game gets in close...not gonna be able to pull that one off. Mike Swick by decision.
Eugene Schelfaut: Swick will not be easily trapped in Saunders' clinch and he will not get kneed into oblivion. Swick will control the fight at all levels. Mike Swick by TKO, round 1.
Leland Roling: I must admit, watching Saunders dismantle Brandon Wolff definitely got the hype train moving for him. As much as I'm not a fan of MikeSwick due to his arrogance in wanting title shot after title shot, he's smartened up a bit in recent interviews. He's also brought in huge guys to help him train for Saunders, and he still trains with some of the best welterweights in the world in JoshKoscheck, Jake Shields, and Jon Fitch. I think he has the tools to crush Saunders. Mike Swick via TKO, Round 2
Nick Thomas: Saunders trains with ATT, but I don't think that will be enough. Swick will win this on his feet. Swick by decision.
Michael Fagan: I think Swick's just too much for Saunders. He's a big WW (though Saunders is even bigger) with a lot more experience against quality competition. Mike Swick by TKO, round 1.
Marcus Davis vs. Dan Hardy
Luke Thomas: As much as I want to pick Davis - and I hope he wins - he can be tagged quite a bit in exchanges. In fact, Davis and Hardy have a common opponent in ForrestPetz . And whereas Davis won and Hardy lost (although Hardy claims he was robbed), Davis often gets himself out of trouble after getting rocked by using his decent submission game over strikers with not-so decent submission defense. I can see Davis popping Hardy and putting him down, but I think Davis is also going to get rocked - only this time he won't be able to submit anover matched kickboxer. Hardy by split decision.
Kid Nate: Hardy has seemingly gotten inside Davis' head with his trash talk. This is a little surprising since Davis is such a master at hyping fights. Conventional wisdom says that Hardy has the more polished kickboxing game but that Davis will have the punching power edge. This one is going to be very close. If Hardy scores a KO he'll be in contention, but I don't think he's that much better than Paul Taylor who nearlyKO'd Davis only to lose by armbar. I think Gono showed that Hardy can be caught repeatedly, but when Davis catches him it won't be with an open palm it will be with a fist. Davis by KO.
Brent Brookhouse: I really don't like Davis in this fight. He's "technically" better with his striking but he doesn't use the technique very often anymore, instead becoming a brawler. Hardy is a goodkickboxer and as long as Davis decides to stay standing he can win the fight. Hardy by TKO, round 2.
Eugene Schelfaut: I am a fan of anyone with the ability to rile Marcus Davis. Davis, for his part, is stronger on the mat than Hardy, but Marcus might just want to prove his point off the ground. Hardy pulls the upset against the boxer. Dan Hardy by TKO, round 3.
Leland Roling: I'm not going to stray from my original thought on this matchup. While Hardy has all the tools to win, I think Davis can still be a quicker boxer and move in and out of Hardy's attacks much like the ChrisLytle fight. It really comes down to who can be more technical in this fight. Davis has a tendency to become wild, but he can also be controlled as well. Hardy times his kicks and punches, and he'll be looking for the big knock to end this fight quickly. I think Hardy is a big time underdog bet, and I'll take advantage, but I'm going with Marcus Davis. Marcus Davis via decision.
Nick Thomas: I can't wait for this one, they have hyped it up nicely. Davis is better all around and takes this. Davis by decision.
Michael Fagan: Admittedly, Davis is a guy I've never liked - both as a fighter and a personality. He had trouble with Swick's size in their fight, and I think we'll see something similar here. Dan Hardy by decision.
Spencer Fisher vs. Caol Uno
Luke Thomas: I think Fisher is extremely underrated here. For starters, Fisher's grappling is both technical, tight and offensively hunting.Uno is the superior grappler, but Fisher is capable of handling himself quite nicely on the floor. Uno's a decent wrestler, but I don't think he's got the ability to take Fisher down that often short of double under hooks. And since it's likely Fisher will use his outside striking more often that not - which is far better thanUno's in terms of footwork positioning, combination punching, power and accuracy - this is Fisher's to lose. Fisher's doesn't quite have the skill setFranca does, but like Franca, if you can nullify Uno from the takedown, Uno is available for damage from a heavy handed striker. That Fisher is accurate makes him even more dangerous. Fisher by KO, round 1.
Kid Nate: The question I have going into this fight is this -- is Caol Uno done? I would've said yes until his surprising run at the DREAM LW GP. Still a year is a long time at his age, so we'll just have to wonder. The other question is can Spencer Fisher keep it on the feet? I'm going to guess that he can. If I'm wrong about that,Uno could easily get a decision or submission win. Fisher by KO.
Brent Brookhouse: Uno's explosiveness isn't quite there anymore and that should let Fisher stay on his feet and bang away. Even if Uno can take him down I don't think he'll finish Spencer which means eventually they'll be back on the feet where Fisher can knock Caol out. Spencer Fisher by TKO, round 1.
Eugene Schelfaut: I am going to go against my better instincts for another fight on this card. Uno gets out struck but is able to earn a decision on the ground. Caol Uno by Decision.
Leland Roling: For nostalgic purposes, I can't pick against Uno. Caol Uno has the ground acumen to still compete with some of the best in the world, and if you don't believe that, ask Mitsuhiro Ishida. Fisher has the obvious standup advantage, and it'll be interesting to see how Freddie Roach has improved Uno's striking game. Conceivably, Uno has very quick hands and could become a solid boxer in the cage, but it may be too late for this fight. I'm still going with technical ground acumen over Fisher. Caol Uno via decision.
Nick Thomas: Uno can win this fight. I see Uno getting the take down and controlling Fisher. Uno by decision.
Michael Fagan: I didn't like what I saw from Fisher in his fight with Frank Edgar. Edgar took him down nearly at will, and while Uno doesn't have the full extent of Edgar's wrestling chops, he is a much more effective submission grappler. I might be underrating Fisher, but I like Caol Uno by submission, round 2.
Mirko Filipovic vs. Mustapha Al-Turk
Luke Thomas: I suppose Al-Turk can win and CroCop looked a little soft at the weigh-in, but if he says he's hungry I'll bite. He has the talent to win. Let's see if he can put it all together. CroCop by TKO, round 2.
Kid Nate: Al-Turk is tailor made for a Cro Cop comeback. A fairly one-dimensional wrestler who's not really UFC caliber, Cro Cop should be able to sprawl and get the highlight reel KO we all want to see so badly. Cro Cop by KO.
Brent Brookhouse: Left...high...kick. Mirko Filipovic by KO, round 1.
Eugene Schelfaut: I don't see how Al-Turk wins. Mirko Cro Cop by TKO, round 2.
Leland Roling: Al-Turk is mainly known as a smothering top control guy with some submission ability. It's pretty tough to submit CroCop, and he's pretty defensive until he blasts you with a kick. Al-Turk isn't quick enough to catch him, and CC is going to hopefully begin his murderous path back to relevance. Mirko "CroCop" Filipovic via KO, Round 1
Nick Thomas: I don't think Al-Turk can take Cro Cop down, plus Al-Turk will gas in the later rounds. Filipovic by TKO.
Michael Fagan: Say what you will about where Cro Cop's at in his career, but he should still beat guys like Al-Turk. Mirko Filipovic TKO, round 1.
Terry Etim vs. Justin Buchholz
Luke Thomas: Buccholz is going to work a furious pace here in order to keep the more technically savvy Britt from getting the timing and comfort level to launch major offensivemaneuvers, but that will eventually be his undoing as his recklessness takes over. Etim by submission, round 2.
Kid Nate: This fight should alternate between periods of Etim battering Buchholz on the feet and in the clinch with intervals of Buchholz working takedowns and going for submissions. But Etim's not helpless on the ground and has many options to finish the fight. Etim by KO.
Brent Brookhouse: Etim will finish the fight in impressive fashion here. Buchholz may be good enough to get the takedown but he won't be able to finish. Etim can dominate the fight standing, and it'll happen. Terry Etim by TKO, round 2.
Eugene Schelfaut: Etim will win the standing fight and I don't see him in trouble on the ground, although he might be stuck in bottom position for extended periods of time. That should not be a factor because it will end before the third round. Terry Etim by KO, round 1.
Leland Roling: Etim is the superior striker in this matchup, and he has a formidable reach that Buchholz will have problems getting through. Etim has some submission abilities as well, so I don't see where Buchholz can really win this fight. Terry Etim via TKO, Round 2
Nick Thomas: Etim keeps this standing. Etim by decision.
Michael Fagan: Read everyone else. Etim's gonna batter him standing. Terry Etim by TKO, round 1.
Dennis Siver vs. Dale Hartt
Luke Thomas: I will never (well, not never never) pick against a BloodyElbow.com member when they fight in the UFC. This one's for you, Dale. Hartt by head kick KO, round 1.
Kid Nate: Go Dale! This will be a hard one for the American as he's fighting a German in front of his home crowd and Siver has a stronger set of weapons from what I've seen of both fighters. Siver by decision.
Eugene Schelfaut: Corey Hill will Tweet his thanks to Siver while Siver's hands try to break something off of Hartt's. The German crowd will at least approve of this violence. Dennis Siver by TKO, round 2.
Leland Roling: I'm not a huge fan of Siver. I've seen him get absolutely destroyed by subpar talent, only to come out and pull off miracle submissions to win. Siver has some power in his hands, but his deceptive weapon relies on the ground game. I'll go with Siver. Denis Siver via decision.
Nick Thomas: I'm a big fan of Siver, he'll take this one. Siver by TKO.
Michael Fagan: Bloody Elbow member and Jordan Breen Show frequenter (who has one of the more memorable quotes to come out of that show). Can' t pick against him. Hartt by decision.
Paul Taylor vs. Peter Sobotta
Luke Thomas: Taylor's takedown defense should be sufficient while he employs his far more polished and speedy kickboxing on the UFC neophyte. Taylor by TKO, round 1.
Kid Nate: Sobotta is the great hometown hope, Germany's hot submissions ace. Taylor is the epitome of the British kickboxer. I'm going to go with Taylor based on him having more experience in a deeper pool of fighters but Sobotta has a grappler's chance. Taylor by KO.
Brent Brookhouse: Taylor is such an easy pick to me here. Sobotta is the latest "here comes the European!" guy who will get beaten up by a more proven guy with "big stage experience" Paul Taylor by KO, round 1.
Eugene Schelfaut: Taylor will stifle Sobotta and take him deeper into unfamiliar territory the longer the fight gets. Paul Taylor by TKO, round 2.
Leland Roling: Germany's MMA scene is fairly green at this point, and while Sobotta has some solid submissions, Taylor is pretty well-rounded on the feet. He has solid kicks, good striking, and a toughness that he's shown in multiple brawls in the Octagon. Look for Taylor to cruise here. Paul Taylor via TKO, Round 1
Nick Thomas: Sobotta will have the UFC jitters. Gotta go with Taylor by decision.
Michael Fagan: English fighters suck, but I have to imagine German fighters suck more. Taylor by TKO, round 1.
Paul Kelly vs. Rolando Delgado
Luke Thomas: I'd be very surprised if Delgado somehow fended off the takedown or landed a submission on the one-dimensional but effective Kelly. Kelly by TKO, round 2.
Kid Nate: Kelly should be able to muscle Delgado down and pound this one out. Kelly by TKO.
Brent Brookhouse: Paul Kelly by decision.
Eugene Schelfaut: Kelly will have to deal with Delgado's length if he wishes to keep the fight standing. I don't image he has any problems. Paul Kelly by TKO, round 3.
Leland Roling: Kelly is looking strong at lightweight, even if its in a dominating top control manner. Delgado will have to try to stop Kelly's power on top, and I don't think he has the chops to submit a stronger Kelly. Paul Kelly via TKO, Round 2
Nick Thomas: Kelly is stronger and more aggressive fighter. Kelly by ground and pound.
Michael Fagan: I like Kelly for whatever reason, and Delgado is TUF garbage. Kelly by TKO, round 2.
Denis Stojnic vs. Stefan Struve
Luke Thomas: Hard to forecast, but I'll give Struve the edge in offensive capability even if Stojnic's chin keeps him in fights longer than he should be. Struve by submission.
Kid Nate: Wow, what a battle of two guys who failed to impress in their UFC debuts. Stuve should be able to pick the lumbering Stojnic apart on the feet. Struve by Decision.
Brent Brookhouse: I was clearly a big fan of Struve before the dos Santos fight and I remain one. He doesn't use his reach effectively for a guy his size but his ground game is really solid. Stefan Struve by submission, round 2.
Eugene Schelfaut: I was more underwhelmed by Stojnic. Stefan Struve by Submission, round 1.
Leland Roling: Stojnic has an iron chin that will go untested because Struve's long limbs and jiu-jitsu acumen will defeat the brawler. Stefan Struve by submission, Round 1.
Nick Thomas: It was sad to see Junior dos Santos take out Struve at UFC 95. But I'm going to go with Struve again. Struve by submission.
Michael Fagan: I'll go against the grain and take Stojnic by TKO, round 1.
John Hathaway vs. Rick Story
Luke Thomas: I worry about Story's submission defense, but he's being completely slept on here. He dominated Jake Ellenberger and physically busted him up, no small feat. I like Story's chances. Story by decision.
Kid Nate: Two very unproven fighters here. You know how they say "Texas leaguer" in baseball? We should be saying "European circuit" for a certain level of fighters and these guys are it. Not impressed with either fighter and would expect either man to get creamed in theWEC lightweight division. Hathaway by decison.
Brent Brookhouse: Hathaway by decision.
Eugene Schelfaut: Hathaway seems to be the better prospect. John Hathaway by TKO, round 2.
Leland Roling: I'm a little intrigued by the hype surrounding Story. He defeated very able fighters in Jake Ellenberger and Ryan Healy, so I'm going with the underdog. Rick Story via decision.
Nick Thomas: Story will get the UFC jitters. Hathaway by TKO.
Michael Fagan: Not sure where to go. Coinflip = Rick Story by decision.

Hey Guys,
Stop by the Back Sports Page for an Exclusive In The Business interview with the YES Networks Ian Eagle. Ian has been working with the Nets since 1994 and is respected by his peers and in the industry.

It starts with a wail: a siren warning of incoming mortar or rocket fire. You hit the ground, burying your face in the thin cold mud of the Iraqi winter. Next you hear the distinctive burp of the counter-mortar guns: modified naval Phalanx anti-ship cannons that fire nearly 5,000 20-millimeter shells per minute. If you happen to be looking upwards, you might see a stream of liquid fire rising from the guns and striking the incoming rounds. Pop! Pop! The pieces of the destroyed mortar stream to the ground. They're still dangerous: a BBC satellite van was peppered by a destroyed rocket. It blew out all the windows and poked holes in the sides and roof, but fortunately no one was hurt.
You wait a few minutes. That's when, if you're not already wearing them, you throw on your body armor and helmet. Then back on the ground or into the nearest bunker you go until the all-clear sounds.
As British forces consolidate at Basra Air Station, chased all the way by mortar and rocket attacks, the base is more heavily fortified than ever. I should know. This is my fourth trip here in three years. These days the tables in the dining hall are surrounded by concrete. Everyone sleeps in single-serving bunkers that are as cold as caves. Body armor and helmets are carried at all times. Troops tool around the grounds in 30-ton Mastiff armored trucks. All this fortification means deaths from indirect fire are down. But one side effect is a siege mentality that make today's Basra Air Station one of the more unpleasant bases I've visited in my three-year war reporting career.

Says everything and more! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/15/07
This song is amazing. Takes me back to 3 years ago when I first fell in love. My bf was in the military and had to go over seas, he wanted me to live my life and enjoy it. He has since came back and moved on but part of him will always be with me. Part of me did die when I let him go. So to say the least when ever I hear it i shed a tear for the love i have had and lost.

The Iowa Department of Transportation says the southbound lanes of 52/61/151 could close as early as this week as work continues on the major improvement project.
The Iowa DOT is reconstructing U.S. 52/61/151 from the Grandview exit to the U.S. 52 intersection on the south end of Dubuque.
The project, which includes the replacement of both existing bridges spanning Catfish Creek, installation of a median barrier, and improvements at the U.S. 52 intersection with U.S. 61/151, already has northbound and southbound traffic reduced to one lane in each direction.
Once the southbound lanes are closed, that traffic will be diverted to the northbound side, creating head-on traffic on the northbound side. They will also close the ramp from Grandview Avenue to southbound 52/61/151. These changes are expected to last for the entire 2013 construction season.
All ramps and lanes will re-open for the winter months. Phase two of the project will start in 2014.
For information on this and other Iowa DOT projects, visit www.511ia.org. There will be a public information page specific to this project at www.iowadot.gov/ole/otherprojectinfo.html.

What I don't understand is why did we sign Miller? Why did we pay $7 million a year for the next 2 years at least for a backup PG? If we wanted a better backup PG than Sergio than we could've just signed Brevin Knight or Anthony Carter for the league minimum and saved a whole lot of money. That's right, we needed a better PG than Blake so we could've used Steve off the bench. So why is Nate so insistent on starting Blake over Miller? To balance the team my a$$. He is the coach so he is the one that has to come up with a way to play the best players from the start and not just play is safe and do what did last season. Did we win the Championship last season? No! So we need change, Miller starting would be the change that we need. With Andre we would be able to run more and get easy baskets but with Blake we would not. Didn't Nate say that he wants the team to run more?And does he not say that every pre-season? Well we never had a true PG until now, and now that he does he seems too scared to implement a fastbraking offense. If only we had traded Blake as well as Sergio than Nate would have no choice but to go with Miller. The reason for my recent dislike of Steve Blake has more to do with all the Blake fans. Blake had one good year last season and you all think that the world shines out of his bum. The guy is so limited that I cringe whenever he is on the court. All he can do is shot the 3 ball and when his shot is not falling then what does he offer the team? At least with Andre he can make plays for his teammates, rebound and play better defense. Blake would not start for any other team in the league but Miller would be starting for more than half of them. I was so looking forward to having better play from our starting PG position this season when we got Miller but just because Nate can't figure out a way to expand his way of thought. My solution is simple, start Miller and play him for the first 5-6 minutes and then rest him till the other starters come off then bring him back to play the second unit. As I remember correctly, last season we had one of the lowest scoring starting units in the league and almost always required that the backups make it up. That had to do with starting Blake, Batum and Pryzbilla. That's why I'm in favor of a starting lineup of :-
I know that Webster might not be able to start right away but he should be able to by late December. This way our shooters will be spread out for both units and we'd play our best players from the start of every game!

While health insurance and a 401K are nice workplace benefits, goes a little farther when it comes to perks.
It brings in the food trucks.
In what has become a few-times-a-year tradition at the tech company, the company hired food trucks to park outside its Clemens Road headquarters Friday and sell food to employees.
The rain didn't stop employees from coming out and getting a food truck lunch. There were four food trucks -- Umami Moto, Nosh Box, Scott's Fire & Ice Catering, and Mobile Cupcakery. Employees had choices ranging from curry to nachos to pizzas made in a mobile wood-fired oven.
Joe Ramirez, a project manager with the company, indulged his sweet tooth. He got a half-dozen cupcakes from Mobile Cupcakery -- two Billy Idol (white wedding cake) cupcakes, two red velvet and two triple chocolate.
"They're so easy to eat," he said of why cupcakes are so loved. "You can fit one in your hand. Also, there's icing."
He's been with the company six months, so this is his first food truck day.
"I love it," Ramirez said. "There's never a dull moment here."

Halloween Surprise: CNN Praises Capitalism, Bashes Socialism over Trick-or-Treating
Apparently all it takes for CNN to realize the greatness of capitalism is to reminisce about childhood trick-or-treating.
CNN's "American Morning" condemned socialism and praised capitalism on Oct. 30. No, they weren't discussing big bailouts or entrepreneurs. They were talking about Halloween candy.
"Okay. This is the most, this is the most capitalist of holi- this holiday is so capitalist. It's about getting the most for the least amount of work right," exclaimed business correspondent Christine Romans.Romans was telling anchors John Roberts and Kiran Chetry that Zillo.com tracks the best neighborhoods for trick-or-treating based on "how rich the neighborhood is, how drivable it is, its crime rate - so that you can teach your children to make sure they can get the most, best candy with the least amount of effort. I love that."
The segment also included an attack on socialism, pertaining to the redistribution of candy.
"Maybe this is why I'm a business reporter," Romans said. "My mom took all my candy - four kids - divided it up equally and then gave it all back to us in equal amounts and I was like [Romans threw both hands up in the air and gave a look of distain] ... It's not right. It's not right."
Both Roberts and Chetry labeled the candy redistribution as "socialism," as Romans told her story.

Church leaders in the Vine City and English Avenue communities of Southwest Atlanta posted a 10 minute video on YouTube to show how the poor are living near from the multi-million dollar Georgia Dome.
The video was created as a response to the city of Atlanta and Atlanta Falcons organization's agreement to build a new $1.2 billion stadium.
Pastor Anthony Motley of the Lindsey Street Baptist Church said the city needs to stop making plans for the area and come to an agreement on how money will be spent to revitalize the impoverished communities.
"It is obscene to build a $ 1.2 billion stadium with poverty stricken communities in the shadow of that stadium, it is obscene it is immoral," Motley said. "We need an agreement. There is no agreement. Nothing legal, nothing!" he exclaimed.
Motley accused Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and other city councilors of not holding up to agreements from the mid '90s when the Georgia Dome was built. Motley said he believes the city will do the same thing when the new stadium is built.
Atlanta City Council member Michael Bond supplied documents to CBS Atlanta News that shows the city has spent more than $42 million dollars in Vine City and English Avenue communities since 1989.
Council President Ceasar Mitchell attended a community forum on how money generated from the new stadium should be used in helping the community. Mitchell said that name calling and negative rhetoric that claims the city broke promises does not help anyone come up with a solution to the problems plaguing the area.
"My biggest concern, is a blame game," Mitchell said. "It has gone on for a while, underneath the surface. But, we have to get beyond that and figure out how to make this a productive process. There is a lot of distrust and frustration. And, for me to say you shouldn't be distrustful, or you are not justified in being distrustful, that is not the right way to react to the way of a concern that is provided to you. We have to listen to their concerns."
"There are only promises out there," Motley said. "We can't operate on the goodness of folks' hearts when there is nothing to bind them to that."
According to Bond's office, the total number of funds spent in the area from 1989, including public and private monies totals $367,743,315.

If you would have come to me in January of this year and told the old 325 pound me that in just 9 months I would be running 13.1 miles in a race with 13,000 other people and actually looking forward to it I would have said you were crazy and that it was impossible for me to do something like that. Well, here I am, doing the impossible!
The anticipation is intense right now. This morning I set of for my last training run before the race, a short 4 mile run that I finished in 35:06. The whole time of the run today I was thinking this Sunday and getting more and more excited. In just 3 days, I am going to run a half marathon, sharing the course with everyone from Olympic medalists, a world record holder, and me, the 91 pound lighter former couch potato.
If I can pull this all of in just 9 months, imaging what I could do with another 9 . . .

Last run before Sunday's half marathon

Another 9 months? I've got a few ideas for you:ReplyDelete

6/25/11 www.seattle.competitor.com

Head north and come run one of these with me!
The Seattle marathon is a definite possibility, something with intense hills like that would be good for me.ReplyDelete

I welcome a day where we can stop talking about all this BS on Cat Scratch Reader, but unfortunately today isn't the day, it doesn't appear to be the month, and hopefully it will be this year. Today the NFLPA are holding a conference call in which they are expected to continue to push the newest line they're peddling in hopes of leveraging the owners and league- boycotting the 2011 combine.
According to Yahoo Sports' Jason Cole in his article yesterday union chief DeMaurice Smith is 'warming up' to the idea of disrupting the combine and the draft. To agents, Smith is drumming up the notion of the proposed rookie wage scale as a reason to advise their clients not to attend the combine. This is quite laughable given that reports indicate the union actually has very few issues with the wage scale issue, merely wanting to tweak the years said scale would apply to, not the idea of a scale itself. To the agents, however, they are pitching this issue as being at the forefront.
Of course agents are going to object to the idea of a wage scale. Once you land the #1 overall pick as a client it's quite easy to sit back like Bob Sugar and simply demand more than the last guy got. When you're representing Sam Bradford and he looks to make $78 million it's clear to see why an agent would be upset having a #1 pick being worth roughly $7.8 million in 2010, and potentially $780,000 in 2011.
It remains highly unlikely the NFLPA would manage to disrupt the combine or the draft itself, but this could mark the next round in this battle.

Vote: Napster vs iTunes
It's music download sites this week for the Wall of Fame, and as fights go they don't get much more heavyweight than this. It's Napster versus iTunes. But which should be bestowed with the greatest accolade of all… entrance to the Wall of Fame.
In the red corner: Napster. A bit of a rebel it shook the music industry to its core and changed the way we thought about music for ever. Devised by an 18-year-old college student, Napster launched in 1999. It combined a music search function with a file-sharing system, which effectively meant you had access to all the music on all the hard drives of computers connected to Napster. It was bit dodgy, infringing on copyright law, and the music industry had it shut down in 2001. But Napster lives on in an online music store, and it's the legacy of the original site that makes it so great.
In the blue corner: iTunes! Proclaiming to be the daddy of online music, iTunes is like having a massive music and video warehouse in your bedroom. It originally launched in 2001 as a digital music player before it converted to an online store. It makes transferring music to your iPod easy as! And it's this simplicity that's led to its dominance of the online music world with over four billion songs sold!
So, who's the music maestro? Who's the Beethoven of online music stores? And who's the music mooch? The Victoria Beckham of song shops? Find out Jon's verdict here. Disagree with Judge Jon? Have your say in the poll below…

I don't mind iTunes losing to something better or more revolutionary but Napster was illegal and it didn't change the industry at all, now it is some rubbish worse than iTunes.

I have to say that I've used iTunes for many years, and it has never caused me any problems whatsoever. The easy to use functions are a easy for the basic user, and there are also more complicated elements which will thrive with the more advanced user. iTunes and iTunes store provide a much better music environment, and with being able to download videos, well, I can't complain. It's nothing short of epic. iTunes ftw!Report as inappropriate

Spotify open used to be a brilliant ad-based music program, however since it has become very limited, the users free program is now more of a, sample a song, rather than a full base for music. however, since iTunes and Napster both require you to pay for the songs you download, they would both be great for a casual music downloader, however, if like me, you like to listen to a lot of music, and on mobile device as well as just your PC/MAC, Spotify Unlimited is definately the winner over both iTunes and Napster. for most people, the subscription cost per month barely scrapes the subscribers account balance, and for the experience you get for that, it is for me, an investment well made.Report as inappropriate
