Support the Next Generation Television Marketplace Act!
An Open Letter to the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee:
July 24, 2012
Dear Senator:
As the Committee considers issues today surrounding the Cable Act and the current state of the video services sector, the 362,000 members of the National Taxpayers Union would like to remind you of their support for S. 2008, the "Next Generation Television Marketplace Act." Introduced by Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC), this important piece of legislation would begin to untangle the complex web of regulations and preferences that exist in television service by repealing provisions that distort the marketplace and harm consumers.
The bill targets several rules and regulations that were drafted decades ago and are ill-suited to the vastly more vibrant and competitive television market that exists now. First, the legislation repeals carriage-mandates of certain broadcast signals by cable and satellite operators. The bill also eliminates retransmission consent and compulsory license provisions, thereby placing negotiations between television content and service providers on a more level and clearly delineated playing field. These rules were intended to protect broadcasters from cable monopolies that simply no longer exist, and are counter-productive to negotiations between the two today. Finally, it cancels onerous limitations on media ownership that are not reflective of the wide variety of news and entertainment sources available to consumers in a given local area.
Taken together, these policy changes would go a long way toward remedying the damaging wars of negotiation that have left millions of consumers blacked out from the content they desire. Importantly, it would do so without resorting to further bureaucratic interference or government intervention. Some have proposed giving the Federal Communications Commission more power to guide retransmission agreements and the agency is currently considering tweaks to the system. But these approaches rely on the faulty assumption that rebalancing an uneven scale is superior to removing government's thumb from it entirely. The Next Generation Television Marketplace Act rejects the former, heavy-handed approach and instead seeks to remove obstacles, not reconfigure them.
While NTU believes that Congress should undertake a more fundamental and wide-ranging overhaul of outdated communications laws to reduce regulatory barriers, the Next Generation Television Marketplace Act will provide a head start on the process while addressing a growing problem in need of a near-term solution. We commend Senator DeMint for his work and urge you to cosponsor and support this vital bill. Any roll call votes on S. 2008 will be significantly weighted in NTU's annual Rating of Congress.
Sincerely,Andrew MoylanVice President of Government Affairs

There's a fairly simple maxim in college football: win and the donors (and their willingness to depart with large sums of money) will come out in droves. It's something that Stanford has been learning of late, with the program Harbaugh built churning out much-higher-than-usual interest from the fan base in Palo Alto. The flip side, of course, is Cal is finding out how much a poor showing on the field will translate into the bottom line.
The San Francisco Chronicle pointed out that the Golden Bears, coming off a 3-9 season that cost long-time coach Jeff Tedford his job (despite giving Cal its most successful era in the modern era of the game), are now struggling to raise the funding to pay off the debt from renovating Memorial Stadium:
UC Berkeley's plan to sell special football seats to pay off nearly half a billion dollars in stadium debt has long inspired skepticism, as if Cal were setting up a lemonade stand to finance a home mortgage.
True, each of those chairs at the newly renovated Memorial Stadium costs $40,000 to $250,000 and is yours for 40 or 50 years. But even Cal officials, who had said they would sell all 2,902 pricey seats by this month, grew skeptical of their own claims last fall.
The latest figures show sales have stagnated at 1,857 seats. Declined, in fact. Sixteen buyers gave their seats back this winter, stopping payments and cutting short their ownership deal.
Uh oh. And bear in mind, it's not a debt that goes away easily:
Cal won't start paying down the principal until 2032, when its yearly payments rise to $26 million, then $37 million, before tapering off in 2051. After a brief respite, Cal will owe a lump sum of $82 million in 2053 alone. Then it will have six decades to pay off the final 17 percent, or $75 million.
While it's on a much smaller scale, this is a lesson that UCLA needs to take note of from their northern California sister school, as the Bruins will be saddled with the costs of "renovating" Pauley Pavilion, as well as other subpar athletic facilities, while turning out a mediocre product that isn't likely to get the UCLA faithful (and the corresponding donors) out and willing to open their wallets.
Something to watch with interest as UCLA looks to recoup the cost of bringing us Old Pauley Under Glass while putting a mediocre and subpar hoops product on the floor, led by a coach with a questionable (and that's being generous) resume and reputation.

The rocketing stock price of electric sports car maker Tesla made it more valuable than Fiat Tuesday — even though the Italian auto giant produces 200 times more cars than the American upstart.
After a more than 50 percent gain in the past week, Tesla's market value topped $10 billion, compared to the Turin giant's $8 billion, as investors reacted to the company turning a profit in the first quarter and analysts boosting their forecasts.
Helped by a target of $103 a share set by Morgan Stanley analysts, the price surged again in early trade Tuesday to $97.12 before pulling back to close 5.2 percent lower at $83.24 — leaving its market capitalization at a still-substantial $9.6 billion.
"What Tesla has accomplished isn't luck, it's real," said Morgan Stanley, pointing to its honor as Motor Trend magazine's car of the year and praise from hyper-critical Consumer Reports.
"Many funds approach an investment opportunity by first asking: does the company do something better or cheaper than anybody else? Tesla is beginning to convince the market it may do both," said Morgan Stanley.
The shares were up 55 percent in one week and 150 percent since the beginning of the year, after struggling through 2012 on production delays and questions about whether it could turn a profit.
The surge in the past week came on the back of the company's first quarterly profit in 10 years.
On May 8 the California-based firm announced $11 million in net income for the first quarter as revenues rose 83 percent from the prior quarter to $562 million.
Tesla cited strong global demand for its $62,000-$87,000 Model S, saying it is receiving orders at a rate of more than 20,000 per year worldwide, adding that it seen "significant upside potential in Europe and Asia."
Analysts at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch were equally impressed with the company but more skeptical of the stock's potential after such a run-up.
"Current stock price implies potentially unrealistic volume," the analysts said, forecasting sales growth in 2014 to just 31,000 units.
"Tesla would need to sell 2-3 times our optimistic 2013 volume in 2014 to justify current market levels."

Colts TEs Clark, Eldridge suffer 'significant injuries'
The winless Colts could be in more trouble with news that TEs Dallas Clark and Brody Eldridge both are expected to miss several weeks because of "significant injuries."
The Colts have agreed to terms with Heyward-Bey.||||||| In 2012, Heyward-Bey started 14 games and had 41 receptions for 606 yards and a career-high five touchdowns. Heyward-Bey has 140 receptions for 2,071 yards and 11 touchdowns since being selected by Oakland with the seventh overall pick in the 2009 draft. Over the past four seasons, he led the Raiders in receptions and yards receiving, while finishing second in touchdowns behind Denarius Moore (12).
The Indianapolis Colts next free agent target is Heyward-Bey. Indy, which has already signed eight players from other teams, has invited Heyward-Bey for a two-day visit that was supposed to begin Monday. The information was first posted on the team's website.||||||| Oakland took Heyward-Bey with the seventh overall pick in the draft in 2009 but never lived up to the hype. In four seasons, he has 140 career receptions for 2,071 yards and 11 touchdown catches. He was released by the Raiders earlier this month.
The Oakland Raiders have cut ties with two former first-round picks by releasing Heyward-Bey and defensive back Michael Huff. The moves to get rid of Heyward-Bey and Huff leave just three of Oakland's former first-round picks on the roster with linebacker Rolando McClain also expected to be released this offseason.||||||| While Heyward-Bey has been mostly a disappointment in his career, the move to get rid of Huff comes as some surprise since he was the team's most consistent defensive back last season playing both cornerback and safety.
Heyward-Bey rushed once for 20 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Atlanta.||||||| Heyward-Bey was knocked unconscious on Sept. 23 by a helmet-to-helmet hit in the end zone from Pittsburgh safety Ryan Mundy. Heyward-Bey appeared to be knocked out by the hit and then crashed to the turf headfirst and his neck twisted awkwardly. He was taken to the hospital for a concussion and sprained neck.
Heyward-Bey still has no recollection of the devastating hit by Pittsburgh safety Ryan Mundy last week that left him with a concussion and neck strain.||||||| Speaking to reporters for the first time since being carted off the field and hospitalized overnight following the play, Heyward-Bey said he's seen television replays of the hit but otherwise has no memory of it. Heyward-Bey attended practice Friday as an observer but is doubtful to play in Sunday's game against AFC West rival Denver.

What's it like to be a tattoo artist?

Do you realize that human beings have been decorating themselves with tattoos for tens of thousands of years? Virtually every culture ever known has used these "moving pictures" to express themselves.
But in 2013, in North America, in Phoenix, Arizona, why would anyone choose to painfully add permanent art to their bodies? Some obviously think of tattoos as the ultimate personal beauty. Others feel just as passionately that they are repugnant and a desecration of "God's Temple."
Reactions to tattoos range from a fraternal embrace to an employment rejection. The only way to go behind these extreme views is to ask the man with the creative needle himself to answer the question, "What's it like being a tattoo artist?"

"must be complete crap"Friday, September 30th, 2005
That's what I thought of Candice Breitz's work when I saw this cover of Modern Painters magazine. "Who is this ridiculous person, posing like some 80′s retard," is what I thought. "Is this Candice Breitz?"
No, actually. Nor was it some post-Fisher Spooner ironic nightmare dance group but a still from a pretty thrilling video piece.
I have my tastes and pop-culture infused video pieces are not one of them. I rarely think about Michael Jackson and think even less about Madonna but Candice Breitz's piece made the two seem awesome and dazzling.
You walk into a dark Sonnabend Gallery and against the wall is long horizontal row of about 15 HDTVs, turned vertically, each one showing some sort of nutty Michael Jackson fan in front of a black background—some are extreme fans (like the guy on the cover of MP), dressed up to sort of look like MJ, others seem like milder fans, they all seem to come from different walks of life; for some reason, one is a belly-dancer. And the brilliant part is that they're all singing the entire Thriller album in unison, without any accompaniment, and they're all really into it. You realize that Breitz must have put an ad out for Michael Jackson fans to sing along to the album for her in front of the camera (they're all wearing tiny earphones, that you can't see) and then she synched them all together so that they sound like some sort of insane chorus. The funny thing is that they're all pretty good singers so that you don't ever think, "what a bunch of loser wannabes." Instead, you sort of become one of the Michael Jackson fans yourself and you feel like singing along. The piece seems to take away all of the annoying gloss of MJ and makes the music feel more personal and intimate.
The same is true for the Madonna piece in the other room. This time the singers are stacked in a large grid and are behind white drapery. I think they're singing the True Blue album (it's the one with "Like a Prayer" on it). And they're all pretty good, and they all have a totally different style of singing but it all works so well together (they're also whiter and gayer then the Michael Jackson fans). You end up thinking to yourself, "isn't life great? Aren't people just terrific?" Which is a very rare experience to have at a gallery in Chelsea.


text: Those of you may remember my outrage a few months back over this crap. Well our favorite South Carolinian Columnist is back and has a rather interesting article and arguement in today's edition of The State newspaper. To basically sum up the better parts of it: Top to bottom the ACC is better than the SEC this year. Yes read that again a writer in an SEC town says that the ACC is better than the SEC this year. Mr. Morris actually did a little research to help his claim as well. It is hard to believe that someone in the media would actually put forth a legitimate arguement against the SEC, let alone someone from Columbia, SC home to the Gamecocks. The truth is the truth, but I doubt we will ever hear an "expert" on tWWL mention this, what with this being a reality for the next 15 years. I thought some of you would like to see this article.

No grand deal with Murdochs: PM
9:47am Sunday 29th April 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
David Cameron has insisted that there was no "grand deal" between himself and the Murdochs to wave through News Corporation's takeover of BSkyB.
The Prime Minister admitted that some of his contacts with Rupert Murdoch's media empire were embarrassing and that he might have done things differently.
But he maintained it was "not true" there was any agreement that in return for the Murdochs' support of the Government he would help their business interests or allow the BSkyB merger to go through.
"It would be absolutely wrong for there to be any sort of deal and there wasn't he told BBC1's Andrew Marr Show.
"There was no grand deal."
The Prime Minister offered qualified support for his under-fire Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who is facing calls for his resignation over his handling of the BSkyB deal.
"As things stand, I don't believe Jeremy Hunt broke the ministerial code," Mr Cameron said.
The Prime Minister admitted discussing matters with Mr Murdoch's son and top News Corp executive James Murdoch at a Christmas party at the Oxfordshire home of then News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks.
Asked whether he was embarrassed that he was even at the party, Mr Cameron said: "Clearly, after all that's been written and said about it, yes of course one might do things differently."
Mr Cameron said he did not recall the exact details of his conversation with Mr Murdoch but that it concerned the recent controversy over Business Secretary Vince Cable's comments that he had "declared war" on News Corporation.

DENVER (AP) -- Michael Cuddyer has extended his hitting streak to 27 games with an RBI single in the eighth inning Sunday of the Colorado Rockies' game against the San Francisco Giants.
He hit a 2-1 pitch from Sandy Rosario up the middle, and later scored on a double by Willin Rosario.
Cuddyer's streak is the longest in Rockies' history and in the majors this season. He has reached base safely in a franchise-record 46 straight games.

Gaylan's Saffron Pop The Cork RE TD SH WCX
|Taitt has been named for Champagne Taittinger, a fabulous French champagne that traces its roots back to the mid-1700s. This champagne is described as "brilliant, golden straw yellow" "fine," "persistent," "very expressive and open," "lively" and "fresh." I suspect that these same words may describe Taitt once she is mature.
Taitt flew off to California with Steve and Lisa Newton and co-owner, Debbie Claussen (Saffron Goldens). She is doing obedience, field and tracking.
Taitt started her competitive career by earning her TD on her first attempt on March 29, 2008. She went on to pass the Working Certificate (WC) and her WCX, also on her first attempt. Since then, she has finished her SH title. Congratulations to Lisa and Taitt!

Why is this here? Well it is a wonderful use of a 35mm digital camera!
I've like the use of time lapse photography, but this guy takes it to a new level. They use a technique where the cameras relationship to the subject is changed while the time lapse is occurring, giving you an entirely new way of looking at this beautiful world both natural and human.

Ben Hamilton pining for Robert Gallery?

Perhaps "pining" is a little strong for one tweet, but the suggestion is interesting. (I believe Gallery is UFA, if there is still such a thing.)

The search for a new Macomb Superintendent continued Thursday night as the district has narrowed its search to three finalists.
The school board is trying a different approach with the interview process-- it's invited the public to pose their own questions.
Macomb School board President Robert Shouse says the district opted for a public forum because they wanted parents to play an even bigger role this time around in picking the next superintendent.
WGEM spoke to a few of those parents at Thursday's forum who say they like being a part of the decision making process.
More than 30 community members sat quietly, listening and jotting down notes as their pre-written questions were read aloud by a moderator.
Giving parents a say in the hiring process is an opportunity Stacy Bierman, a mother of 3, appreciates.
"It directly affects my children, it also affects our schools, I'm with the PTO at one of the schools so it's good to know what the candidate could offer to our schools and to the rest of the community," said Bierman.
Jim LaPrad was also eager to submit a question-- he believes the opinions of parents should carry a lot of weight.
"I think it informs our school board also of the different types of questions that the community has so it really gives us a feel that we're being valued, and we're the tax payers so I think that's really important," said LaPrad.
School Board President Robert Shouse says to bring the best person in for the job, leaving out the public wasn't an option.
"Last time when we hired a superintendent with each candidate it was more of a meet and greet type of situation and we thought it was very important this time to have the public the administrators and faculty and staff be able to ask whatever was on their mind," said Shouse.
And Shouse says the public's opinions will be carefully considered when the board makes its final decision.
"It's going to weigh a lot, there's a lot of public support for all 3 candidates they have their voice but ultimately everybody, the public the boards wants to make sure we hire the best person for the job," said Shouse.
Tonight's forum featured Dr. Chet Lien, but if you'd like to take part in the district's interviewing process, you still have two more chances.
A public forum with Dr. Patrick Twomey will be held Monday night and Dr. Chad Allaman on Wednesday January 30th.
Both Meetings will start at 5:30 p.m. and will be inside the Spoon River College Community Outreach Center in Macomb.
The new superintendent will replace Dr. Alene Reuschel who's retiring at the end of the school year.

The LaRue County School Board met Monday night. The agenda included an ACT report by Amanda Reed, which showed that LaRue county juniors in 2014 tested at or above state averages in every subject.
Also included was the awarding of an honorary veteran's diploma to Donnie Waggoner.
The board also approved payment of the Kentucky School Board Insurance Trust workers comp fund in the amount of $36,619.
LaRue County magistrates approved a 2014-15 tax rate of 19.65 cents per $100 of assessed property value as they met at the courthouse in Hodgenville Aug. 12.
Tommy Turner, judge-executive, explained that the increase is below the permissible 4 percent increase, but slightly above the compensating rate that yields an amount of revenue approximately equal to that produced in the preceding year from real property.
Fiscal Court also approved an across-the-board 2 percent increase in county salaries not set by state statute.
The following people have been indicted by a Nelson County grand jury. They are set for arraignment in Nelson Circuit Court Aug. 7.
Like many other libraries in the Bluegrass, LaRue County's public library is being threatened by the ongoing lawsuit against Kentucky libraries. Dana Jolly, Director of LaRue County Public Library, said that, should the ruling in the case come down against libraries, they would lose more than half their current budget. She added that, although the board hasn't outlined specifically which services would be cut, some would inevitably be lost.
Kentucky Farm Bureau is searching for the next recipient of its $1,500 Women's Educational Grant. The grant, presented annually by KFB during its annual meeting in December, was established to recognize and assist non-traditional-aged female college students in their efforts towards completing a college education.

The Portland Timbers are battling for a playoff spot and the New England Revolution aren't. That's exactly how it looks at Jeld-Wed Field tonight as the Timers have completely dominated the Revolution, showing off some quality and also playing with far more fire than the group from the northeast who are just counting down the days until the offseason. Goals by Diego Chara and Kenny Cooper have put the Timbers up 2-0 at halftime and with Rajko Lekic having already been substituted off with an injury, there doesn't appear to be a way back for the Revs.
It was Chara who got the Timbers rolling when he was able to slip through the Revolution defense and finish well, sliding the ball just inside the post to put Portland on top. While Chara did well to finish, New England have to be furious with their defending and Shalrie Joseph in particular, who just watched Chara dribble by without even pretending to make an attempt at stopping him.
While it was Cooper who doubled Portland's lead, it was Mike Chabala who did the work. The ball found its way to Chabala on the left, who got into space and played a cross right to Cooper in front. It was aless of a shot and more of Cooper letting the ball hit him and go in, but however he did it, it was a goal.
The Revolution may be down 2-0, but it feels worse. They are better than the Timbers in the center of the midfield so Portland is going everywhere but the center. Guess what? It's working. Other team better somewhere, don't go there. Really intensive soccerball tactic things.
Only once have the Revolution looked remotely dangerous and that was just on a great individual play by Milton Caraglio, who did wonderfully to turn a rip a shot that Troy Perkins had to make a good save on. Add in an injured Rejko (there is no report on the kind or extent of his injury yet) and the Revolution are in a deep hole, while the Timbers are flying.

England say no to World Cup clash with Wales in Cardiff
3:48pm Tuesday 4th December 2012 in Wales rugby
RUGBY Football Union chief executive Ian Ritchie has rejected the proposal that England's crunch 2015 Rugby World Cup pool match against Wales should be played in Cardiff.
England are the host nation of the tournament but the RFU's bid included the prospect of the Millennium Stadium being used for up to eight matches, including two quarter-finals.
England and Wales were drawn together alongside Australia in the World Cup's pool of death, with the likelihood of them being joined by Fiji as Oceania qualifiers.
Immediately after the draw, Welsh Rugby Union boss Roger Lewis suggested Wales should play England at the Millennium Stadium because "it is the finest rugby stadium in the world."
Ritchie's response to the WRU was a polite thank you but no thank you – and that is the message he will take to the board of England Rugby 2015, who will make the final decision on venues.
"We have a very nice home of our own and I would hope very much we would contemplate playing the match here," said Ritchie, who is overseeing a £76million upgrade of Twickenham stadium.
"With our modest little stadium here at Twickenham, with the further investment we might be able to make it into a decent spot to play rugby.
"We equally believe we are very good hosts here and that we could hold a decent game here and would very much want to do that. Shock, horror and astonishment that I would suggest that!
"We will not get a better opportunity to inspire people to play rugby, be volunteers and participate in rugby.
"We are putting the building blocks in place to make sure we can take the most advantage of having the World Cup."
The final decision on fixture dates and tournament venues will be made by tournament organisers England Rugby 2015, of which Ritchie is a board member, by the end of March. There are currently 17 potential venues.

Q&A: What do I need to know to prepare for a vaginal birth with triplets?
My triplets are due in a few weeks and I am planning a vaginal childbirth. I know other mamas have done this, and I even read about a homebirth with triplets (they thought it was twins). What do I need to know to prepare for a vaginal birth with triplets?
Congratulations! Getting deep into the third trimester with triplets is quite an accomplishment! You are about to start on a difficult but amazing journey.
Vaginal birth of triplets typically isn't advised. It is quite difficult to follow the condition of all the babies during labor and birth. Plus it is unusual that they are all coming down in a safe way to be born vaginally.
While it isn't standard practice, some physicians will help their patients have a vaginal birth with triplets if everything is lined up properly—the babies are in good positions, they are each in their own amniotic sac, and their heartbeats are easy to monitor (and to differentiate from one another). Emergency Cesarean must be easily available in case of a problem during the birth, and the mom must be prepared that the second and third babies may require birth by "breech extraction" meaning that the doctor reaches inside and brings the baby down by its feet to hurry delivery along.
Triplets can be difficult to check on during labor—can we be sure we are hearing the heartbeats of three different babies and are they all OK? To me, birth at home is for healthy low-risk-desiring moms who are having singletons at term, with an experienced well trained home birth midwife and resources for hospital transfer if necessary. Triplets should never be born at home. I personally don't think twins should be born at home either, though, so we already may differ in our priorities and acceptance of risk.
Talk to your doctor about your desire to give birth vaginally, and be sure you get enough information to have a realistic picture of all the possibilities for how things may go. Good luck to you! And congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!

Josh Barnett hadn't even reached his mid-20s yet and it seemed like he was blacklisted from the biggest mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion in the United States.
After testing hot in a post-fight drug test, Barnett was stripped of the UFC heavyweight title and he parted ways with the company. He hasn't returned since and up until Zuffa's purchase of Strikeforce, it didn't seem as if there was any love lost between "The Warmaster" and Dana White.
In the two years it took Barnett to get from the Octagon to the Pride Fighting Championships, he racked up a handful of wins over competition that wasn't entirely becoming of a former heavyweight champion. But once he stepped foot inside the Saitama Super Arena, he was thrown into the deepest talent roster the MMA world had ever seen at that point.
We're only days away from Barnett's tournament tilt against Sergei Kharitonov, a bout that easily could have taken place in Pride. Instead, it headlines Strikeforce: "Barnett vs. Kharitonov" this Saturday (September 10). Before Barnett attempts to make it to the finals of the heavyweight grand prix, let's take a look at his tenure in Pride.
Here's how it all went down:
It was an exciting time. Barnett had left the UFC and wasn't seen in any major shows for two years. He showed up at a Pancrase event to throw 185-pounder Yuki Kondo around and fought at the 2003 New Year's Eve show but he was booked about Semmy Schilt, a fighter he had easily beaten inside the Octagon already.
When it was announced that he had finally signed with Pride, the buzz started and began to build slowly. And when Mirko Filipovic was announced as his first opponent, the buzz was nearly deafening.
"Cro Cop" was on a path to redemption himself. After being brutally knocked out by Kevin Randleman earlier in the year, he was determined to once again position himself as the number one contender to Fedor Emelianenko's heavyweight title.
Who better to stand in his way than a former champion?
All the hype and all the build-up came crashing down along with Barnett's arm. The American wrestler caught a body kick from Filipovic and took the kickboxer down. But as they fell to the mat, Barnett positioned his arm oddly and the landing fractured and dislocated his shoulder.
The fight was less than a minute.
He returned nearly an exact year later to rematch his Croatian foe after rehabilitating his injury. This time there was no freak accident only a sound thrashing by "Cro Cop."
Now 0-2 inside of the Pride ring, Barnett seemed more determined than ever to turn the tide. He finally found himself back in the win column with a quick submission victory Kazuhiro Nakamura. It also guaranteed him a berth in that year's open weight grand prix.
The American arguably had the toughest road to the finals. While former Pride champ Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira was taking on the 400-pound Zuluzinho and "Cro Cop" was booked against middleweight "Minowaman," Barnett had to face Aleksander Emelianenko.
The younger brother of "The Last Emperor" hadn't been as dominant as his sibling but was still a force to be reckoned with. In the opening round of the Absolute Grand Prix, Barnett was unafraid to stand with his opponent despite the Russian's crisper striking.
Nose bloodied as they entered the second round, "The Warmaster" realized that he couldn't survive another 10 minutes like those he had just gone through. Maybe he could physically but most definitely not on the judge's scorecards. He closed the distance quickly and smothered Emelianenko with a body lock before dropping him onto the mat.
A minute later Barnett was twisting the Russian's arm backwards, forcing him to scream out and tap. He had conquered his first adversary in the tournament, he was now ready for the second.
He drew Mark Hunt, the former K-1 World Grand Prix champion, who was coming off wins over Wanderlei Silva and Filipovic. Barnett did what neither one of those two men could do: beat the Kiwi.
Refusing to allow the fight remain standing for too long, "The Warmaster" quickly secured the takedown and dispatched Hunt in a fashion similar to his previous victory. It has become a blueprint to defeat the iron-jawed knockout artist ever since.
Barnett had made it to the semi-finals by beating two opponents with a then-combined record of 13-2. At Final Conflict Absolute, he met "Minotauro." It was a fight for the ages.
From my previous History in the Making:
The second round opens and "Big Nog" almost immediately finds himself on his back with Barnett on top, attempting to pass into sidemount. The American's concentration on his own legs lapses and Nogueira is able to trip Barnett down and reverse positions on the former UFC champion.
But just as quickly, the catch wrestling expert sweeps his opponent and lands in his guard. Both fighters are landing short punches -- Barnett from on top and Nogueira from his back. "The Babyfaced Assassin" postures up and lands two devastating punches that bounce the Brazilian's head off the mat.
In the end, "The Warmaster" was victorious and met his old nemesis, Mirko Filipovic, in the finals. But it seemed the war with Nogueira had taken too much out of him. He succumbed to the strikes of "Cro Cop" in the final minutes of the opening round with MMA immortality nearly in his grasp.
He would fight twice more for the defunct organization. Once in the US against Pawel Nastula -- in a bout that ironically had the judo player testing positive for steroids -- and a rematch against Nogueira which Barnett lost.
Since then he fought for Affliction and DREAM amongst others before finding a home in Strikeforce.
They say time heals all wounds. I'm sure money helps too.
It's been a long time since Barnett was in the UFC. And he could make them a lot of money if given the chance.
The Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix is that chance.

Topic: ShellShock Live 2 / Just Chattin' (Shellshock Live 2)
Here's one I came up with just a couple of days ago, but it's a bit hard to describe in words:
Launches a flare (doesn't matter what the flare looks like) which, once it lands, causes a medium-sized ball attached to a string to swing from the top of the screen. Unless the ball smashes into a wall/the ground/a tank on the way down, the string will snap at the lowest point of the swing, allowing the ball to follow a normal trajectory. Damage could be calculated depending on the speed of impact.
Also, the direction of the swing depends on what half of the battlefield the flare lands in. So if the flare lands on the right-hand side, the pendulum will fall from left to right, and if the flare lands on the left-hand side, the pendulum will fall from right to left. Hopefully this doesn't sound too confusing.

But in just a few months the father-of-two will step into the ring at the Boodles Boxing Ball with an experienced fighter who is younger and stronger - a fighter who will be listed as favourite by Balthazar's own gambling firm, Fitzdares. He tells us why this fight is a great idea and how he is preparing.

On Saturday, June 22, around 1p.m. the Cleveland Heights Police responded to a home in the 3400 block of Woodridge to check on the welfare of a female resident.
Upon arrival, officers spoke with an unidentified male who stated that his mother was in an upstairs room and was the victim of an assault.
Officers found the woman, later identified by family as Jualen Green, upstairs and unresponsive.
Authorities say it appears that Green was a victim of an apparent homicide.
CHPD reports that Green's 21-year-old grandson was taken into custody after a brief foot pursuit and is now sitting in the Cleveland Heights Jail.
Green, according to her brother, helped everyone and added that he just wants the person responsible to be caught.
The victim leaves behind a son and adopted children too.
No further information is available at this time as officers continue their investigation.

any way to fix sticky TRV?
@ January 11, 2014 12:05 AM in any way to fix sticky TRV?One of our Danfoss TRVs sticks in a closed position and will not open to allow hot water flow when the thermostatic controller calls for it (e.g. even if I turn it up beyond 5).
I can take the thermostatic controller off and move the pin in and out a few times, and this will cause water to flow again, but only for a few days. I've lubricated the pin from the outside, but I believe the problem is not that the pin itself sticks, but rather the mechanism inside the valve body where the lubricant does not easily reach.
Is there any fix short of draining the system and replacing the valve? Just to emphasize, the detachable plastic thermostatic thingy works just fine, the sticking is in the metal valve.
Watts 'HAV' automatic radiator bleed valve?
@ December 3, 2013 2:35 PM in Watts 'HAV' automatic radiator bleed valve?Any actual experience with this valve? They bleed air when dry and shut off when the material in it gets wet and swells. So they can be installed on radiators in any orientation.
Do they work well for years, or do they leak or stop working?
I just installed one on a Runtal baseboard that was slowly collecting air and then becoming noisy. It was almost magical: I opened the shutoff valve in the basement, and by the time I got to the 1st floor the baseboard (previously drained to install bleed valve) was full of water and yet the bleed valve hadn't spewed any water. But I don't know about the long term.
@ November 27, 2013 1:59 PM in Hydronic Heating in IndiaI am surprised to hear that there is hydronic heating anywhere in India. You may be misinformed, we Indians hate to say "no" or "I don't know" and prefer to nod and say "Oh yes, we heard something about that somewhere".
Because the heating season is short, it is more economical to have electric heat. In mid-priced hotels and even in some 5-star air-conditioned hotels I have had space heaters delivered to the room on demand, although most nice hotels have heat through the overhead AC vents.
Indian homes (not counting high-rise boxes) are designed to be open to catch the breeze in the long hot seasons. Many homes, even those of the rich, have no heat at all; when it is 45F outside, as it frequently is in Delhi, it is maybe 50-55F indoors. As a result winters in northern India (for those not staying in heated facilities) can feel more chilly overall than winters in the US.
I can see from your photos of plumbing that you are having a 'real' Indian experience, you're not just staying in a Hilton-Sheraton bubble.
yes, air scoop
@ November 26, 2013 8:38 PM in air collecting in one baseboard onlyYes, we have an air scoop.
Regarding dissolved air in fresh water, I do understand that as the weather gets cold and the water gets warmer (we have outdoor reset), more air will come out of the water since the solubility of gases decreases with increasing temperature (think soda water).
What I don't get is why all of it is collecting at one radiator. I have been going around trying to bleed the other radiators and there is nothing to bleed there.
I also don't get why lowering the surface tension (with surfactants, i.e. dish soap) will affect the solubility of gases in the bulk water. This is something I know a little bit about; really, the two have nothing to do with each other.
pumping away
@ November 26, 2013 12:07 PM in air collecting in one baseboard onlyAdditional information: the pumps are "pumping away" exactly as they should.
Note also that the problem baseboard is on the 2nd floor; the 3rd floor radiator is not collecting air.
air collecting in one baseboard only
@ November 26, 2013 10:11 AM in air collecting in one baseboard onlyOur hydronic heating system is a tangle of copper and galvanized pipes running here and there. There are radiators on three floors. On the 2nd floor there was a Burnham Baseray that was recently replaced during bathroom renovation with a Runtal baseboard. The supply and return lines remain the same.
The Runtal emits low but distinct water flow noises. Every time it does that, I bleed it, and a little air comes out. The noise stops. Two days later it starts again, and I bleed it, and sure enough there is some air....
I don't understand how air can get into a system under pressure, and only in one radiator. I realize that the Runtal is more likely to be noisy, compared to the heavier Burnham Baseray and also the traditional radiators elsewhere in the house. But I have bled the other baseboards and radiators and there is no new air collecting there. This is the only one that keeps getting new air.
All suggestions appreciated.
original "mouse turds" thread
@ October 30, 2013 11:25 PM in Knight boiler problemsThe original report (and subsequent long thread) was deleted, but I don't know why:
open secret
@ October 30, 2013 11:00 AM in Knight boiler problemsThe coffee grounds that collect on these heat exchangers are a big problem that manufacturers won't admit to. Many years ago there was a "mouse turds" thread here that was ultimately deleted. No one knows where these granules come from, but the HX is getting stained and pitted at the same time, and ultimately it will develop pinholes.
People say you need a combustion analysis, but this is inorganic material, it is not carbon and so it is not coming from the gas. It may be leaching out of the stainless steel. I may be wrong, but the fact is, everyone makes up stories; there is no openly available analysis of what the coffee grounds are or an understanding of why they form.
@ October 29, 2013 9:53 PM in does new boiler need combustion analysis?Thanks for the advice! Boiler was combustion tested and was good out of the box (I have a report with the readings).
HTP Elite FT
@ October 24, 2013 2:40 PM in use 2-stage stat to override outdoor reset?HTP Elite FT. No boost input. (I didn't realize some boilers had boost inputs...makes a lot of sense..)
Now speaking of boost, what would happen if I wired the 2nd stage signal into the DHW input (not currently used), and tie the DHW circ output and space heating circ output together? There's only one zone. Would that work?
Radiators only, no radiant heat.
use 2-stage stat to override outdoor reset?
@ October 24, 2013 1:55 PM in use 2-stage stat to override outdoor reset?Is there an easy way to wire a 2-stage stat such that, when the 2nd stage is called for (typically when room temp is more than say 3 degrees away from set point, e.g. during recovery after setback), this overrides outdoor reset and runs the boiler flat out until the 2nd stage is satisfied?
If stats had a 2nd stage output that is NC (normally closed), this would be easy, I could just run the outdoor sensor wire through this switch. In fact the stat output is NO, and switching NO to NC requires an external relay, which I am not eager to do unless I have to.
I'm thinking maybe there is a smarter way to wire it? Or maybe a commercial product that does what is needed?
looked at the gas meter...
@ October 21, 2013 7:46 PM in HTP Elite FT boiler not modulating low enough...problem?I clocked the gas meter when the boiler is running steadily (and nothing else is), It takes a half foot in 82 sec,, which works out to to 22,000 BTU/hr. For this 110,000 BTU boiler, that is exactly 20% (the minimum fire possible, since it has 5x modulation). It's not 30% even though the display shows that...
I feel better now. The display is wrong, but I'm not losing energy up the chimney.
Many thanks to everyone for the help.
I'm trying to explain
@ October 21, 2013 6:21 PM in HTP Elite FT boiler not modulating low enough...problem?Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Clearly I am doing a lousy job explaining the problem. I realize that this is not a calculation that people do normally.
I am NOT complaining that the cycle is too long---that is of course good. It is NOT true that deltaT (difference between boiler supply and boiler return) is too low--- 3 or 4 degrees it is just about what you expect when the water temperature is holding steady at a cool 85F. (DeltaT will go up to ~20 degrees as the water temperature goes up to 180F in cold weather.)
I am saying that the boiler firing level is way too high (at 30%) in relation to the low T (85F) and low deltaT (4F). It should be about half that. I showed my work in earlier posts. I am concerned that the extra heat is going up the chimney for some reason, but probably I am wrong. Where's my mistake?
I am going to monitor the gas meter and see if it is really running at 30%.
not the issue
@ October 21, 2013 4:53 PM in HTP Elite FT boiler not modulating low enough...problem?I can increase or decrease the primary pump speed (it's a 3-speed pump). If I do, the deltaT at full fire goes down or up (naturally). The deltaT at 30% fire also goes down or up. Their ratio remains the same, and so the problem I described remains exactly the same. It has nothing to do with the pumping speed.
no radiant loops
@ October 21, 2013 3:02 PM in HTP Elite FT boiler not modulating low enough...problem?There are no radiant loops, only cast iron radiators. I never treated deltaT as a constant. Also I am only reporting deltaT after things have settled down (become stable).
But I should have made clear that I was talking about the boiler deltaT (deltaT in the primary), not the deltaT from the radiators (secondary). So the nature of the radiation (and whether the load is being throttled) is not relevant.
Water comes into the boiler at T1 and goes out at T2. (Both these numbers can be read at the boiler front panel.) The difference deltaT =T2-T1 depends on the BTU being delivered to the water as it goes through the boiler, and nothing else. It is not a constant, but it depends only on the modulation of the boiler.
When the boiler is running at 100%, I see that deltaT is 23F (reasonable). When the water temperature is set at 85F, deltaT is 4F (reasonable), but boiler is running at 30%. It should in fact be running at (4/23)*100% = 17%. (Roughly---of course it can't modulate below 20%.)
Another way to see the problem is that if it really requires 30% fire to heat the water from 70F (room temperature) to 85F, then at 100% fire it will only manage to heat it to 70+(85-70)*100/30 =120. That's not true, it actually gets to 180F without a problem; so why is it running at 30% when the water output is 85F and the input is 81F?
HTP Elite FT boiler not modulating low enough...problem?
@ October 21, 2013 11:38 AM in HTP Elite FT boiler not modulating low enough...problem?We got a new HTP Elite FT. The control is pretty much the same as our late unlamented Munchkin, with a few small improvements. Among other things I can now see the modulation level (%) on the status screen.
The unit is supposed to have a 5x turndown, i.e. lowest level should be 20%. However, the displayed modulation level never goes below 30%. As a test, I set the water temperature really low, 85. The return temperature is 81. Delta-T at full fire is 23, so (85-81)/23 = 17%. But the burner never goes below 30%. It doesn't go on or off as far as I can tell from the display; it just sits at 30-31%. This makes no sense to me.
Is it losing the extra heat somewhere?
There's no one from HTP on these forums, is that right?
how to replace backflow valve in B&G Chek-trol?
@ October 19, 2013 12:25 PM in how to replace backflow valve in B&G Chek-trol?The flow check valve (I hope this is the right term...the valve that only allows water to flow one way) built into this pump isolation valve has become increasingly noisy. I couldn't find any way to remove it in a non-damaging fashion.
I am able to turn it but it doesn't unscrew, it just turns in place. I was finally able to irreversibly pull out the ball and spring, so now there's no noise, but the rest of the plastic body is still in there. I'd like to remove and replace it so I have a backflow preventer again. Is there a trick to it?
Many thanks!
of course
@ October 19, 2013 12:19 PM in why use primary/secondary if not needed?Primary pump runs when boiler runs, and boiler runs when thermostat calls for heat.
In system with outdoor reset, the boiler runs most of the time, and so the extra pump in a P/S system runs most of the time too.
@ October 18, 2013 12:31 PM in why use primary/secondary if not needed?Sure, but summer gas usage gives you a baseline to subtract.
It's not as if this needs to be precisely accurate; you want the boiler to be slightly oversized, but not as much as heat calcs oversize it.
@ October 18, 2013 12:02 PM in why use primary/secondary if not needed?"Extrapolation" means you take the gas usage (actual, not estimated) in ANY winter (mild or not) and use that to CALCULATE what will be needed on a design day (since BTUs used are roughly proportional to the degree-days).
The Taco Bumble Bee is an interesting device, I didn't know about it. I have to think about how well it works when there is outdoor reset. If the water is 90F, as it is for my system in October or April, running the pump at dT=20 means the pump is not really running at all.
@ October 18, 2013 11:31 AM in what is replaced when replacing boiler?Yes, we should not have made assumptions. Most customers are not technically savvy enough to get into details; I know more than some, but I guess we were in a hurry (unexpected HX failure) and I didn't do due diligence.
PS The previous boiler died because it was a POS (Munchkin).
PPS This post was edited by me, not an administrator.
@ October 18, 2013 11:29 AM in what is replaced when replacing boiler?What you say is very reasonable.
Unfortunately our contractor (the premium-priced HVAC company in our town)didn't discuss any details, and I didn't know enough to ask. Now they're only doing a "quick change artist" job and we have no leverage.

Welcome! We are carrying out research in the field of quantum optics and quantum many-body systems using ultracold atomic and molecular quantum gases at the Max-Planck Institute for Quantum Optics and the Ludwig-Maximilians University.
If you are interested in joining our team click here!
Prof. Cheng Chin, winner of a Humboldt Research Award, will join our group for his research sabbatical in the beginning of August 2014. Prof. Chin studies quantum many-body phenomena based on ultracold atoms and molecules at the University of Chicago, including phenomena from different branches of physics such as nuclear, condensed matter, gravitational and astro-physics. During his stay in Munich he will work in close cooperation with our group at LMU and MPQ, as well as the group of Prof. Wilhelm Zwerger at TUM.
We implemented a ladder system with uniform magnetic field using ultracold atoms in optical lattices. By measuring the currents along the legs of the ladder we were able to observe a transition from a Meissner-like phase to a vortex phase.
Nature Physics 10, 588-593 (2014)
By using a combination of Ramsey interferometry and Bloch oscillations we implement a protocol to extract the geometric phase of a one-dimensional dimerized optical lattice modelling polyacetylene. This one-dimensional Berry phase, also known as Zak phase, can be viewed as an invariant characterizing the topological properties of the energy bands.
Nature Physics 9, 795-800 (2013)
We implemented large uniform effective magnetic fields with ultracold atoms using laser-assisted tunneling in a tilted optical lattice. We also show that for two atomic spin states with opposite magnetic moments, our system naturally realizes the time-reversal-symmetric Hamiltonian underlying the quantum spin Hall effect. Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 185301 (2013)
Press Release MPQ (english, deutsch)
Using our quantum gas microscope we succeeded to observe magnon bound states in one-dimensional quantum magnets. These two-body bound states have been predicted to exist in Heisenberg chains by Hans Bethe 80 years ago. Using a novel microscopic preparation and detection method we identify the states by their characteristic correlations and, furthermore, we observe their dynamics.

We could for the first time observe a negative absolute temperature for mobile particles. By using an intermediate bosonic Mott insulator together with a Feshbach resonance in bosonic Potassium we were able to create a stable attractive Bose gas at negative absolute temperature.

Prof. Nigel Cooper, winner of a Humboldt Research Award, has joined our group in January 2013 as a guest scientist for three months. Nigel Cooper is an internationally renowned Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge where he leads a group working on Theory of Condensed Matter, and he is Fellow of Pembroke College. During his stay in Munich he will work in the field of artificial gauge fields and topological phases with our group at MPQ and LMU, as well as the group of Prof. Wilhelm Zwerger at TUM.
We observed spatially ordered structures of collective excitations in a gas of laser excited Rydberg atoms. The comparison of the measured excitation dynamics to a theoretical model developed by our colleagues at the MPIPKS in Dresden provides evidence for coherence between the different excitation patterns.

We congratulate Simon Braun and the whole team on the Poster Prize of the AMO division of the French Physical Society (PAMO) award at the ICAP 2012 for the poster on "Negative absolute temperature for motional degrees of freedom" (ArXiv:1211.0545)
We detected a Higgs-type excitations in a low-dimensional system of ultracold atoms at the transition between different phases of matter. The work was done in close collaboration with colleagues from Harvard and Caltech. Nature 487, 454-458 (2012), Press Release MPQ (english, deusch), Additional Media
In a collaboration with theoretical physicists from Potsdam, Brisbane, Jülich and the LMU, we have investigated the relaxation of a bosonic density wave towards equilibrium. Using an optical superlattice, we were able to prepare the initial state with high fidelity and to follow the dynamics in terms of quasi-local densities, currents and coherences.

By means of two perpendicular superlattices we have realized a three-dimensional array of independent plaquettes where we studied the spin physics of four site localized bosonic particles. We were able to observe valence bond oscillations as well as to create and characterize two resonating valence bond states with s- and d-wave symmetry.These two states constitute a minimum basis of a topologically protected qubit.

Fermionic transport and out-of-equilibrium dynamics in a homogeneous Hubbard model with ultracold atoms
We studied the expansion of an initially confined fermionic quantum gas in the lowest band of a homogeneous optical lattice and observed a crossover from ballistic transport for non-interacting atoms to an almost bimodal dynamics in the interacting case. Nature physics 8, 213 (Additional Material)
We observed how correlations propagate across a one-dimensional bosonic Mott insulator after the system has been set out of equilibrium. Our measurements show that the dynamics is bounded by a maximum velocity, reminding of the light cone that separates time-like from space-like intervals in the theory of special relativity.

Prof. Christophe Salomon, laureate of Gay-Lussac-Humboldt prize 2011, has joined our group on January 2012 as a guest scientist.
Christophe Salomon is research director at C.N.R.S.- Laboratoire Kastler Brossel at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. There he leads a group on Ultra cold fermi gases, which has been responsible for seminal advancements in the field. During his stay in Munich he will work in the field of ultracold quantum gases at MPQ and LMU.
We have realized a strong effective magnetic field in an optical lattice, which should allow one to investigate fractional quantum Hall physics and beyond with ultracold atoms. The Aharonov-Bohm phase is simulated using Raman-assisted atom tunneling. We observe that the effective magnetic field leads to a frustrated ground state and to quantum cyclotron orbits. Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 255301 (2011). Viewpoint Physics.
We succeeded in directly imaging quantum fluctuations that show up as particle-hole pairs in a bosonic Mott insulator. The pairwise appearance of the fluctuations also leads to a non-local order that we probed in the experiment. Science 334, 200 (2011). Press release MPQ (deu, eng). MPG (deu). Additional Media
Coherent light scattering from only a few hundred atoms in atomic Mott insulator yields a far-field diffraction pattern. We used this technique to detect one-dimensional antiferromagnetic order via additional diffraction peaks. Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 215301 (2011). Viewpoint Physics.
With lattice shaking, we are able to control correlated tunneling and superexchange interactions in isolated double well potentials. This technique opens the possibility to simulate an arbitrary XXZ spin model. Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 210405 (2011)
We addressed and changed the spin of individual atoms in an optical lattice with laser light and arranged the atoms in arbitrary patterns. These results are an important step towards large scale quantum computing and for quantum simulation of condensed matter systems [Nature 471, 319 (2011)]. Press release MPQ (deu, eng), MPG (deu).

We have experimentally realized few-body impurity systems consisting of a single fermion and a miniature Bose-Einstein condensate. Using quantum phase revival spectroscopy, we revealed how the presence of the interacting impurity fermion modifies the interactions among the bosons. Phys. Rev. Lett 106, 115305 (2011)
We have studied the non-equilibrium dynamics in tunnel coupled 1D Bose liquids, extending the famous Landau-Zener problem to a low-dimensional many-body setting. Most strikingly, we found a drastic breakdown of the adiabatic transfer between the Bose liquids upon Landau-Zener sweeps in the highest-energy states [Nature Physics 7, 61 (2011)].
