Open Thread: Class Warfare's Failure
You would think given the utter failure that Democratic presidential campaigns have had with class warfare rhetoric--John Edwards, John Kerry, Al Gore, and Walter Mondale come to mind--that their strategists would have realized long ago that the politics of envy just don't work.
Unfortunately, however, that hasn't been the case, as President Obama has embraced with abandon attacks on his fellow Americans (while at the same time keeping an open door for the very richest to give and receive favors). This time around, class warfare is not working too well, either, as political analyst Michael Barone writes:
"A 2008 election widely regarded as heralding a shift toward the more government-friendly public sentiment of the New Deal and Great Society eras seems to have yielded just the reverse."
So writes William Galston, Brookings Institution scholar and deputy domestic adviser in the Clinton White House, in the New Republic. Galston, one of the smartest political and policy analysts around, has strong evidence for this conclusion.
He cites a recent Gallup poll showing that while 82 percent of Americans think it's extremely or very important to "grow and expand the economy" and 70 percent say it's similarly important to "increase equality of opportunity for people to get ahead," only 46 percent say it's important to "reduce the income and wealth gap between the rich and the poor," and 54 percent say this is only somewhat or not important.
In addition, by a 52 to 45 percent margin, Americans see the gap between the rich and the poor as an acceptable part of the economic system rather than a problem that needs to be fixed. In 1998, during the high-tech economic boom, Americans took the opposite view by the same margin.
As Galston notes, these findings suggest that Obama's much-praised speech at Osawatomie, Kan., decrying inequality, "may well reduce his chances of prevailing in a close race." Class warfare politics, as I have noted, hasn't produced a Democratic presidential victory in a long, long time.

California is going to force queer perversion on children in 2012. Kids will be forced to "learn" how this nation wouldn't have been great if it hadn't been for people who are perverts. Wanna bet this "lesson" will quickly teach children the following: "If you bugger another man's @$$, you stand a good chance that you are a better American than anyone else". Or falsely charge our great presidents, scientists, explorers, etc as having been queers?

That's because the straw-man doesn't work
Submitted by c5then on Fri, 12/30/2011 - 12:22pm.
The primary "goal" of Marxism is to "fix" the class system by equalizing everything. However when there are really no classes, it requires them to be manufactured, thus the progressive income tax system that breaks people up into separate groups and the favorite media terms of "blue-collar" and "white-collar". The Marxists/Progressives/Liberals have been trying to re-introduce the class system into America for about 100 years now. It works to a certain extent, fooling about 20-30% of the population but not on a consistent basis. It requires an economic crisis to work even that well. So in good times we almost never hear about it and in recessions it gets trotted out to try and stoke the jealousies of the weak-minded and petty. Most Americans however are smart enough to realize that they are striving to become rich themselves and to demonize those who have gotten there before them really doesn't increase their chances on achieving their goals.
Interestingly, every time that Marxism has been tried (whether in the form of socialism or communism) it doesn't equalize the classes by pulling everybody up, it does so, temporarily, by pulling everybody down and creating a society where the vast majority are poor and without basic needs while a very small political ruling elite are very well off and basically a self-created aristocracy. That is the reason why people who crave power and wealth are drawn to Marxism.

Sorry, but class warfare
Submitted by mattm on Fri, 12/30/2011 - 2:20pm.
Sorry, but class warfare works. Class warfare is how the democrats got Bush I to cave on taxes; how they got BJ Clinton elected, how they neutered Newt, how they got Bush II to drop social security reform and let Mr. Chappaquiddick write the education bill; how they won congress in 2006 and the white house in 2008 and how they are currently holding much more power than they would be if class warfare didn't work.
Remember, the indoctrination starts on PBS in all the little kiddie shows and goes right through to graduate school. This indoctrination is so successful that a total moron without one shred of credibility, Paul Krugman, can get a PHD and write for the NYT claiming that "[Obama] has done more to rein in long-run deficits than any previous president."
Class warfare works. Don't be surprised if the dems keep the white house and gain control of congress in 2012. I hope it doesn't happen, but I'm afraid that the libs have so thoroughly brainwashed the general public that they will ultimately get their way and America will die an untimely death.

Republicans often cut taxes so you take home more for your family.
Republicans rarely force workers into a union (that spends dues on growing socialismn while drawing huge salaries).
Republicans are not ashamed of family or faith or marriage or patriotism or refusing to stop unborn heartbeats.
Republicans will defend America instead of bowing and being kicked around.
Republicans will say encouraging things in public about America and Americans.
Republicans know the basic Laws of Economics (dems only know socialism buys votes)
Republicans believe in freedom and not bashing America/business/some group every month of the year.
Republicans are not afraid to answer questions (or show) at meetings…(they do not run from mics like dems).
Republicans are much less likely to want judges to create new laws or ignore the Constitution.
Republicans supported congressional term limits (overturned by a democrat congressman lawsuit)
Republicans would put proceedings on C-Span/read bills…(instead of lying that they would like dems).
Republicans will carefully explain to any voter why smaller gov-meant, lower taxes and traditional values are best for America…(try getting any democrat to defend the opposite of that…which they believe in).
Republicans are not too scared to go on CNN and such while the dems run from FNC….think about that a good while.
Republicans don't need distractions, lies and smears to sell conservatism…just logic and historical fact.
Republicans are not taken advantage of by foreign thug leaders nearly as much as dems…(aka the fawners).
Republicans widely support balanced budgets, low debt and energy independence.
Republicans don't seal everything from their birth certificate to college from voters…like dems
Republicans believe the federal gov-meant is not always the answer because every major program passed has proven to be 3-9x more expensive then the "selling price" to the voters (for starters).

Class warfare and the truth about taxes.
Submitted by Denny Crane on Sat, 12/31/2011 - 9:06am.
I have been looking quite deeply into the tax issue and have found some amazing things. there is a continuing argument about people paying their "fair share". First of all this notion of their fair share is completely bogus, simply because taxes should exist for 1 thing and 1 thing only, and that is to provide needed revenue for legitimate government functions. Fair share would be a simple flat tax with a single deduction of an exact dollar amount per person, but we know that will never happen.
First of all everyone knows basics about the top 1% pay 36% of income taxes, top 10% pay 70% and the top 50% pay 97% of income taxes. On the other side the progressives argue that it doesn't include payroll taxes or the regressive state and local taxes. So I have looked deeper into this as well. On the Federal level when payroll, corporate, and excise taxes included the breakdown is as follows.
Bottom 20% pay 4.0%
Next 20% pay 10.6%
Middle 20% pay 14.3%
Second to the top pay 17.4%
The top 20% pay 25.1%
Also note that the top quintile is the only group that has a higher tax liability than share of income in the USA.
But the progressive will still argue that it doesn't include those nasty state and local taxes which can be regressive (which of course the federal government has no control over and shouldn't be making policy based on it anyway). I have even seen idiots argue that the poor pay 40% of their income in taxes while the rich only pay 15% (although they can never provide any proof of that) So I found a left leaning site that breaks down taxes by state. Quite interesting and yes overall it's regressive but not very much, and added into the federal taxes, overall it's still progressive.
Breakdown of state and local taxes by quintile.
Bottom 20% (under 18K/year) pay 10.9%
Next quintile (18K to 33K) pay 10%
Middle quintile (33K to 54K) pay 9.7%
Next quintile (54K to 90K) pay 9.3%
Top quintile broken down even further 80% to 95% (90K to 185K) pay 8.8%
95% to 99% (185K to 476K) pay 7.8%
Top 1% (over 476K) pay 6.4%
I went out and found a left wing report by the U of California that is a full blown essay on wealth and power in America. But even they admit that taxes are progressive. You have to go over half way down the page to find it but there it is, a nice graph showing that the richer a person is the higher their overall tax burden (as a percentage of their income) is. When all taxes (not just income taxes) are taken into account, the lowest 20% of earners (who average about $12,400 per year), paid 16.0% of their income to taxes in 2009; and the next 20% (about $25,000/year), paid 20.5% in taxes. the middle 20% (about $33,400/year) give 25.3% of their income to various forms of taxation, and the next 20% (about $66,000/year) pay 28.5%. the next 10% (about $100,000/year) pay 30.2% of their income as taxes; the next 5% ($141,000/year) dole out 31.2% of their earnings for taxes; and the next 4% ($245,000/year) pay 31.6% to taxes. As for the top 1% -- those who take in $1.3 million per year on average -- they pay 30.8% of their income to taxes, which is a little less than what the 9% just below them pay.
As a side note, any secretary that pays a higher rate than their millionaire boss is probably making well over a 100K a year (as they should be)
Happy New Year everyone. 2012 HERE WE COME!!!

| 7 of our party of 8 to the top. Claire Rechatin, Delphine Renaudin, Paul Rechatin, Pierre Rechatin, Alexandre Bolze, Ivan Renaudin, Pascal Rechatin.Perfect conditions we stayed a long time on the top to enjoy !. A dream of a descent on the Arete des bosses overall surprisingly uncrowded for a August day.
One mountain sick stayed at the Refuge des Cosmiques this will be for next time for Thomas.
This was the first time for Delphine, Ivan, Pierre, Paul and Alexandre, second time for Claire and 12th time for me.I Had not been there for several years.
The Refuge des Cosmiques is really very nice and people extremely welcoming and professional...what a difference with several other huts in the Mt Blanc massif on the french side!
This year (2008) there were pretty dangerous crevasses on the Mt Blanc du Tacul climb. Really requires attention especially by night.
The Mont Maudit Bergshrund/rimaye couloir is the only place where we found some ice, rest of the route was in perfectly good snow. Two fixed ropes have been left in place by mountain guides there which is quite convenient.
Very good conditions on the arete des bosses and all the way down to the Aiguille du Gouter with very few crevasses.
The face and couloir de l'Aiguille du Gouter are becoming more and more dangerous...Helmet highly recommended there are really bad rock falls which are not anymore just started by careless climbers near the Refuge de l'Aiguille du Gouter but are initiated it seems as a result of accelerated warming of the mountain. It is advisable to stay on the slightly protruding rocky ridge in the middle of the face as opposed to going to the right or to the left despite several well marked trails as the sides are much more exposed to rock falls.

|After a few days bad weather in Chamonix we got some good weather. Rain had washed out the train so we started hiking from the top of the Bellevue chair lift. We could not confirm a spot in either the Tête Rousse or Gouter hut so we brought along bivy gear. We stopped at the Tête Rousse hut and were promised at least a floor spot. There was some talk in our group of continuing on to the Gouter hut but a climber was killed crossing the grand couloir at lunch (falling rock) so we hung tight. Left Tête Rousse at 2:00am, reached the summit before 7:00am, back in Chamonix for burger's at 4:00pm.
This mountain is a total mad house and not safe during peak season due to the sheer number of climbers.

|After a sudden change in weather a minor badweather front stroke the mountain during the night so the 02AM wake up call was called off. However, eventually the heavy winds diminished and at breakfast some parties made ready for summit attempt at 0900AM. I soloed and reached the summit at 1215PM. I was all alone over the Bosse-ridges. What a feeling! After that rather late summit, I had a descent of 3.800 altitude meters all the way down to Les Houches. (Tramway du MB out of order due rockfall.)

Half a million people around the world watched online as New Zealand's colossal squid was examined last April. Now there is international interest again, as the world's first colossal squid exhibition opens in Wellington, where it was discovered that finding a way to conserve and display the colossal squid was not easy.
"One of the big issues of natural environment specimens and displaying them is that traditionally you would have displayed them in alcohol," Robert Clendon from Te Papa says. "That's a fire risk to a museum."
Instead the squid is suspended in a liquid column of glycol and water in a custom-built tank.
"It's in an experimental fluid which is not toxic at all," explains Te Papa's Carol Diebel. "But nobody's really used it to this extent before."
The squid was landed by a fishing vessel in the Ross Sea last year and has attracted the interest of thousands of people from around the world.
"We're getting a lot of enquiries from the public, but also from overseas institutions about what we've done here, how we've preserved and how we've displayed it," Mr Clendon says.
Te papa will host a series of squid events over the summer, including dissections of smaller squid to introduce visitors to squid anatomy.
The exhibition of the colossal squid opens to the public tomorrow and admission is free. The squid is expected to remain in its experimental tank for around three years.

The market also forces growers to cull the crops they do harvest, removing foods (produce in particular) with blemishes or other cosmetic defects. The report cites a farmer who estimates that 75 percent of the cucumbers he culls are edible and a tomato-packing house that says it can fill a dump truck with 22,000 pounds of discarded tomatoes every 40 minutes in mid-season.
Once perishable goods are shipped, they are too often rejected by distributors responsible for getting them to the stores and even by food banks, which sometimes receive more food than they could use at once, the NRDC report said.
But many studies suggest that most of the waste takes place in stores and homes.
The government estimates that supermarkets lose $15 billion each year in unsold fruits and vegetables alone. The NRDC attributes some of these losses to overstocking products to impress customers. In restaurants and other food service outlets, which also suffer steep food waste-related losses, large portion sizes that far exceed the serving sizes recommended by the government play a significant role, the NRDC study said.
Last year, industry groups — including the Grocery Manufacturers Association and the National Restaurant Association — launched an initiative designed to help them donate more food and cut back on the estimated 36 million tons of food sent to landfills every year. The groups aim to assess by year's end how they can best meet those goals.
But Europe has a head start.
The European Parliament has adopted a resolution that would slash food waste in half by 2020, and nearly five dozen leading retailers and brands there have committed to reducing food waste, the NRDC said. In the United Kingdom, which launched a "Love Food Hate Waste" campaign five years ago, some retailers already are using promotions aimed at discouraging consumers from buying more than they need — as in "get half off" instead of the "buy one get one free" tactics often used in this country, the NRDC said.

Robbery attempt reported outside Rutland pharmacyJanuary 18,2013Police seek
would-be mugger
Rutland police say they are searching for a man who reportedly tried to steal a bag of prescription drugs from a man walking with crutches outside a city pharmacy.
Police were called to Walgreens Pharmacy on Woodstock Avenue at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday where Felix Krowinski told police he was approached outside the store by a roughly 60-year-old man who grabbed his prescription bag and tried to wrench it out of his hand, according to Rutland Police Sgt. James Tarbell.
Krowinski said he held onto the bag and kept his balance long enough for his wife Susan to come to his aid.
The Rutland couple told police that the unidentified man fled the scene in an orange or rust colored SUV, Tarbell said.

Welcome to Earth! It's a planet having an iron core, with two-thirds of its surface covered by water.
Earth orbits a local star called the Sun, the light of which generates the food supply for all the millions of species of life on earth.
The dominant species on Earth is the human being, and you're one of the six billion of them! Humans have iron in their blood, and their bodies are composed of two-thirds water, just like the planet they live on.
The physical composition of the Earth, its people and everything on it contains an electro-magnetic field which is not yet fully understood.
Theories and legends about the origin of Earth, people and life itself abound, however they are not commonly discussed. The bulk of earth's people spend their time immersed in daily activities, leaving the big questions for later.
"Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How will we get there?"
Many religions and philosophies have attempted to answer these questions over the years, but so far none has given an answer that everyone on the planet can accept.
In contrast to all the disagreement, the similarities among people on earth are far, far greater than any differences.
Welcome again to Earth! Enjoy your stay, and try to stay calm.

Entertaining expert Matthew Mead shows how to set a table that dials down the fuss but not the festivity.
"I like a twist on tradition," Matthew Mead says of his easy-to-come-by red-and-silver scheme. He used a stash of glass ball ornaments for the centerpiece, stacking them in a compote and topping candlesticks. (Scrapbooking glue dots hold the ornaments in place.) Cedar and seeded eucalyptus fill out the display. The tablecloth is actually upholstery fabric hemmed with iron-on webbing. "It's instant and more fun than standby white," Matthew says.
To make fragrant chair-back decorations and party favors, Matthew scouts the garden and grocery store for fresh herbs. Bundle bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram with twine, leaving tails to tie around the chair. The bouquets can be made several days in advance, then refrigerated. Once dry, the herbs can be used in cooking.
For Matthew, a place setting is like the bow on a package. He sets off white plates with napkin rings made from graphic drink coasters. Punch a hole in a paper coaster, thread metallic cord through, and tie around a napkin, adding jingle bells.
Layers give a table depth, says Matthew, who made a "lace" runner from a roll of kids' craft paper and a decorative punch. It's paper yet there's an elegance to it," he says. Wrapping paper and decorative scissors work, too.

Another Step Lyrics - No Use For A Name
The iron curtain has been lifted just today
After war is finally over, a faction finds its way
The KGB is evil, tanks are running over people
Can't you see?
This country's on a ship
Navigating to a failing destiny...
They're not afraid to, and won't hesitate to
Take it up another step, take it up another step
Thought old ideals were gone but we were wrong
Now we see it hasn't left, now we see it hasn't left
Another step!

Believe it or not there are still some people that believe that the NFC north can produce a wild card. Im pretty sure that Green Bay will take our division, but with Shaun Hill under center I believe that this can happen. When Stafford went down and we lost to the Jets I was extremely upset, because I thought there goes the season, but you have to look at how our Defense has been playing. Defense is one of the reasons we have been close in every game aside from the Vikings. This article just made me a believer again. I know it may be a long shot, but to have a little hope for something to come out of this season makes me excited for Sundays. I dont want to see how Stanton progresses or anything, i want to see this team win some more games.
Read this article it will bring back a little hope for a lot of the fans that said "same ole lions" after last game.

UPDATED: Government shutdown shuttered House's "official" laundry
By W. Gardner Selby
Published on Thursday, October 17th, 2013 at 7:46 a.m.
U.S. Rep. Roger Williams hopes for budget cuts and opposed any bump up in the federal debt ceiling. But that doesn't mean he didn't feel the partial shutdown of the federal government.
The first-term Austin Republican told the Austin American-Statesman's Jonathan Tilove that he was running low on shirts because the congressional laundry was closed due to the federal shutdown that began Oct. 1. Another House member, Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, claimed he didn't know there was such a laundry.
We checked Williams' laundry-shuttered claim, which came out True. Wring out the results to the right.
Update: The cleaners at issue was reopened the morning of Oct. 17. We checked. No members of Congress had fetched shirts as of about 8:30 a.m. Central time.
See the Truth-O-Meter article.

DE Anderson looking like nice addition for Bengals
DE Jamaal Anderson, who has gotten a look as a starter because of injuries, looks like he will have a spot in the Bengals' DL rotation this season.
Injuries, fewer sacks mark Dunlap's season
After notching 9½ sacks as a rookie, Bengals DE Carlos Dunlap's second season has been marked by injuries — and, as a consequence, less production.
Bengals' improved pass rush may improve more
Cincinnati is on pace to record more sacks than a year ago, even though its 2010 sack leader, Carlos Dunlap, has yet to notch a sack, according to AFC Whispers.
Bengals' DE situation muddled, intriguing
The Bengals' DE situation is one to watch once NFL play resumes.
Bigger role for Dunlap comes with greater expectations
Bengals DE Carlos Dunlap is in line for a bigger role next season, and DL coach Jay Hayes wants to see how he'll handle the increased responsibility.
Browns-Bengals matchup of the day: Saturday
Here's a matchup to watch in Sunday's Browns-Bengals game: Browns QB Colt McCoy vs. the Bengals' pass rush.
Bengals DE Dunlap showing potential
Rookie DE Carlos Dunlap is a player to watch in the second half of the season.
Steelers rookie Worilds showing promise
Developing more pass-rush moves will be necessary for Pittsburgh rookie OLB Jason Worilds, who coach Mike Tomlin says has "big-time room for growth," according to AFC North Whispers.
Bengals sign DE Dunlap, WR Shipley
The Bengals, who begin training camp practices on Thursday, signed second-round pick Carlos Dunlap, a defensive end from Florida, and third-round choice Jordan Shipley, a wide receiver from Texas, on Wednesday.
Several Bengals rookies could contribute early
Whether the Bengals' 2010 draft class has the impressive depth of the '09 class remains to be seen, but several rookies are poised to compete for regular playing time in their first season, and others may be able to contribute ...
Dunlap and running back Bernard Scott (broken right hand) are active for the first time this season.||||||| Dunlap missed the first two games with a sprained right knee.
Dunlap suffered a right knee injury Friday.||||||| Dunlap eventually walked off slowly with assistance. He had 9 1/2 sacks as a rookie in 2010, but was limited by injuries last year and had only 4 1/2 sacks.
Dunlap is active for Sunday's game against Baltimore despite a sore hamstring.||||||| Dunlap didn't practice on Thursday and was listed as questionable. He's missed three consecutive games with the injury, but had played in the last two.

I wanted to be a fearless adventurer like my male heroes, but a voice kept warning me: Don't get yourself raped.
I'm at the gate at Dublin Airport getting ready to board my plane back to the States…
it's pathetic how sad this is making me.
So I left London yesterday morning, and took a train to Holyhead, Wales, and then took a ferry over to Dublin. I have two more days here in Dublin, and then I'm flying back to the States.
To recap my summer, I will have:
But I'm kind of worried that nomadism and living out of a duffel bag has become too integral to my life? I've gone to so many different places this summer, travelling with and meeting so many different people. I guess I'm just nervous that I'm not going to adjust well to living in a dorm room and having a planned, routine life attending university again. Don't get me wrong, I'm so excited to see Erica and my bitches, but this is going to be hard.
Lots of times I just want to have a beard, and wear 'men's' autumn/winter clothing, and live in the woods, and drink lots of hot coffee made in a french press, and read good books, and play lots of music, and have a big fireplace, and smoke a decent amount of weed, and have a pet bear, and travel regularly, and see nifty things, and meet nifty people, and do it all with this amazing girl.
But then I remember that the world is a hot fucking mess, and there is anarchy to spread and revolutions to start.
In four days, I'll be in Dublin.
In thirteen days, I'll be in London.
"Isn't It Pretty To Think So?" | Nick Miller
I just booked a flight to Dublin.
My Swartz and I will be getting to Dublin about ~2 weeks before our study abroad starts in London so that we can fuck around Europe for a lil bit.
Sylvia Plath
Everyone is so used to me talking about dropping out of school and becoming a nomad…
But meow that I'm going to Europe this summer, I'm actually not joking when I say I might not come back.
I guess they're in for a surprise.
I'm going to end up graduating with a Master's degree, and then spending the rest of my life on a perpetual road trip with no money or possessions.

Last week, District 4 City Councilman Marcelo Co announced at the City Council meeting that those caught tampering with and stealing campaign signs would be prosecuted.
He didn't say whose signs had been vandalized or stolen. But it was strange comment for him to make because he's not up for re-election and hasn't posted any signs.
City Attorney Robert Hansen, who attended the meeting, didn't indicate whether he would pursue prosecution or how many cases he might be investigating.
Campaign sign stealing and vandalism is common during elections. Days after Co made his comments, Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries, who is running against incumbent Riverside County Supervisor Bob Buster, said thieves stole 20 of his campaign signs.
Jeffries reported the thefts to police. He said he's hopeful surveillance camera tapes will identify the culprits.

Flirty Hair And Makeup For Valentine's Day
February 14, 2011 at 9:30 am , by ekaufman
I love Valentine's Day for several different reasons: lots of chocolate, pretty flowers and most importantly, love. But it's not only meant for those in a relationship. A celebration is always in order, whether you're staying in with your love or out on the town alongside friends. Today's the day to spice up your hair and makeup routine and these videos help you achieve a flirty look.
If you have long hair like I do and are tired of limp locks, try a hair knot. It's easy and elegant–and also helps to lengthen your neck. This video walks you through the steps to perfect the technique.
Soft, sexy waves look great on both short and long hair. And–surprise–you don't need need a curling iron to get them. Use your flat iron for fresh take on curls.
My favorite part of getting ready is putting on makeup. Here, YouTube sensation Michelle Phan creates a playful look with pretty pinks. (I've personally gotten so many compliments on my makeup from emulating her style.)
Happy Valentine's Day!

Florian (14-5) is making his debut at 145 pounds. Nunes (16-1) successfully debuted in the UFC last January, defeating former WEC champ Mike Brown in a split decision.
The live blog is below.
Round 1: The crowd lets Boston's own, Kenny Florian, hear it before the start. They'll never forgive him for wearing that Bruins jersey to the weigh-in, will they? Florian tries a high kick, and Nunes answers with one of his own, but slips in the process. Florian ducks under a looping hook from Nunes and goes for the takedown. He keeps after it, but Nunes blatantly grabs the fence and holds on for several seconds before referee John McCarthy says something. Even then, Nunes successfully cheated to avoid a takedown, and with no consequences. Nunes turns the tables, putting Florian down, but only briefly. Spinning backfist from Nunes lands, and Florian tries a head kick that misses. Florian stings Nunes with a good jab, then ducks under a punch for an excellent takedown. Nunes won't stay down long, though. A left hook from Nunes in the final ten seconds drops Florian onto his back, but time rounds out before he can capitalize. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Nunes.
Round 2: The fighters square off to start the second, but the crowd is busy doing the wave right now, so they'll get back to this fighting stuff in a minute. Florian looks for a single-leg and nearly has it, but Nunes displays some impressive balance and flexibility in avoiding it. Florian keeps digging, and Nunes keeps grabbing the fence, causing McCarthy to swat his hand away. Nunes gets a leg-trip takedown, but nearly gets himself caught in a triangle while trying to work from Florian's guard. Nunes stands up out of the guard and kicks at Florian's legs before McCarthy brings him up. Again Florian ducks under a punch for a perfectly-timed takedown, putting Nunes on his back. Florian works from half-guard before Nunes replaces the full guard, but that only seems to free Florian up to throw punches. Florian passes to the side with an elbow strike right at the horn. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Florian.
Round 3: They touch gloves to start the third. The crowd chants 'We want the cup,' just in case you forgot. Both fighters are looking a little worn, but Florian shows no signs of slowing even after a tough weight cut. Florian puts Nunes down with a double-leg and then smashes him with an elbow that thuds home. Florian stands up to pass and then dives down with a big right hand as he moves to side control. Nunes stays patient and scrambles to his feet. They separate and Nunes fires off a high kick and then a spinning backfist. Florian backs up and pops him with a jab. Nunes comes charging in with hooks and Florian avoids him, then counters with a short right. Moments later, the exact same scenario repeats itself. Good knee by Florian in the final thirty seconds. He stays after Nunes, but Nunes clips him with a right-left combo that drops Florian to one knee just before the horn. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Florian.
Kenny Florian def. Diego Nunes via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)

text: Are college campuses today just sexual playgrounds fueled by today's hookup culture among young people? Not so much, says a new study from the University of Portland. They find it's really not any more prevalent than it was a generation ago. Click here for more on the study from the American Sociological Association. "College kids are more educated, more affluent, and may not be indicative of all kids that age," says Dr. Martin Drell, Professor and Head of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at LSU Health Sciences Center. But hooking up, or casual sex outside a serious relationship is much more prevalent this study finds. "Hooking up is a reality. I see a lot of college kids in my practice and there is a certain more informality to sexuality now, for some of the kids," Dr. Drell says. While 25 years ago some kids may have been stressed about their virginity, some of these kids now have anxiety about he says is whether they're are ever going to find intimacy. "And whether the person is ever going to have a relationship with them, like them and respect them." Photo by Mike Baird, licensed via Creative Commons

Preparations are underway for what's expected to be nearly 500 people at the Salvation Army on Thursday.
Turkeys are cooked, stuffing is mixed and dishes are covered, ready to be cooked. But a malfunctioning oven has put the preparations behind schedule.
"It's been acting up. We got it fixed, now it's another part that went out," said Salvation Army Chef Robert Ramirez. "It's so old it has to be ordered. It might take up to a week to get that part."
The top part of the oven won't stay warm. Robert says the oven is so old that the burners are rusted over. That's creating problems with other parts of the oven that tell it to stay hot. Chef Robert showed us the problem. The dial was set to 350, but when he opened the door, the thermometer inside read 200.
Thanks to a private donation, a new oven has been purchased but it will take three weeks to arrive.
That's good for Christmas, but the Thanksgiving meal is causing major headaches in the kitchen.
"We're trying to do 100 turkeys; I am a day behind," Ramirez said. "I'm trying not to panic. I'm trying not to freak out. I'm trying to get everything done."
Ramirez says normally by this time they have 50 turkeys cooked and ready to go. This year they only have 32, but some locals are stepping up to help.
"Mary Waller who owns Danny's Fins and Hens has agreed for us to bring the turkeys over there and she's going to cook them for us," said Lubbock Lion's Club volunteer Cecil Puryear.
Cecil and another Lion's Club volunteer loaded a pickup truck with 40 turkeys. They say they're just happy to help.
"It's just a need in the community. We're thankful for all the work the Salvation Army does and wherever we can help out we try and help out," Puryear said.
Ramirez says the Salvation Army still needs volunteers to help them prepare food. If you are interested you can head down to 1614 Avenue J and they will put you to work, or you can call (806) 765-9434.
The meal is on Thursday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at 1614 Avenue J.

A lot of people spend hours creating sweet treats which could bring them a profit if they go into a home business.
A bill passed in Oklahoma will now allow home bakeries to operate without a food preparation license.
"I love to be creative and I love to see the smiles on peoples faces when you deliver their baked goods, or whatever they ordered, and that just gives me a special feeling inside when you can make someone else happy and give them enjoyment," says Alicia Polk.
Polk owns a home bakery called The Ugly Mug in Ottawa County.
She make less than $20,000 a year and thanks to new Oklahoma legislation signed this week her bakery will now be able to operate without a food preparation license, as long as the products do not contain meat or fresh fruit.
"As long as you wear your gloves when you're preparing ready to eat foods and you clean your surfaces, there's no contamination problems," says Polk.
For commercial bakeries, like Sandy's Plan It Party, it is required for the business to pay $250 a year for a food preparation license, along with other additional costs to be a commercial bakery.
"Everything has to be a food service approved item, so we had to spend a lot of additional money on all our ovens and our refrigerators and that kind of large products," says Brenda Mayfield, the owner of Sandy's Plan It Party. "Even our sinks had to be a commercial one."
Commercial bakeries are also required every years to attend a food service class, along with yearly inspections by the health department to make sure everything is running up to code.
But for The Ugly Mug, it's all about offering the best types of sweets.
The bill will take effect November 1.

According to this YouTube video, it's the LSU Tiger 'Pre-game' Fight Song. We know you will "light up" when you watch it.
This house was decorated with Christmas lights then, timed to blink to the locally famous tune known by all LSU Tiger fans.

"This is our church team of walkers and runners in our local 5K. We really enjoyed our new shirts!"
"Our team of 6 swam the Maui Channel Swim, and also decided to use our swim for a fundraiser. We raised $12K+ for Swim Across America, helping fund cancer research across the US. And thank you to Custom Ink for also making a donation to our cause."
"This year was our 3rd year walking as a team in the Walk to Cure Cancer in Massachusetts to help fund cancer research.

Talk offers insight into Arabia
10:00am Wednesday 5th March 2014 in News
A FREE talk about the histories of ancient Africa and Asia will take place at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, next Wednesday.
Prof Michael Petraglia, co-director of the Centre for Asian Archaeology, Art, and Culture at the University of Oxford and a senior research fellow of Linacre College, will discuss how satellite images have revealed locations of ancient rivers and lakes in Arabia.
The work indicates that Arabia may have been a central crossroads between early Asian and African cultures.
Prof Petraglia's talk will take place in the MBI Al Jaber building at the college in Merton Street, starting at 5.30pm.
Mashael Al Jaber, of MBI Al Jaber Foundation, said: "This lecture provides the chance to change perceptions of prehistory of the region, and highlight the role it played in supporting the common ancestors of Europeans and Arabs alike."

A grieving widow remembers her late husband as a hardworking family man while speaking out against the neighbor accused of stabbing him to death.
"Someone took my life away from me and he doesn't deserve to live either," said Stacey Duncan, who is the victim's wife.
Stacey Duncan struggled outside Bristol Superior Courthouse to speak about the husband, 36-year-old Jerry Duncan, she lost too soon.
On June 20, Jerry Duncan went next door to ask his neighbor's home to turn down music that was too loud.
That's when he was stabbed after there was an altercation between Duncan and Jeffrey Hall, 43, of Bristol.
Hall was later arrested with incident and charged with murder.
Emotions ran high outside the courthouse with Bristol police coming outside to keep the two families apart after the hearing.
Hall was arraigned at Bristol Superior Court on Monday.
Stacey Duncan told Eyewitness News she and neighbors have complained about the noise at Hall's house in the past.
Jerry Duncan had gotten home from work even later than usual that night because the San Antonio Spurs, his team, was in the NBA finals, his wife said.
"So he got home late, came inside," Stacey Duncan said. "I'll never know why he went over there. They were frequent partiers, noise all day all night long."
Hall's girlfriend, Michelle Lewis, told Eyewitness News he was just a fun loving guy, but wouldn't say much more than that.
According to court documents, it was Lewis's birthday the night of the fatal stabbing and partygoers told police someone invited Jerry Duncan up for a drink.
However they said Jerry Duncan and Hall got into a fight and before they knew what happened, there was blood everywhere.
Hall was unapologetic talking to police that night.
"A long haired white guy kills a (expletive) in Florida they would give you a medal for what I did," Hall told police, according to court documents. "I hoped I killed him. I really hope I did."
After his court appearance, Hall is being held on $2.5 million bond.

Will 3D printing be a crime?
Imagine having a 3D printer. Need a larger coffee mug, print it. Need a chair? Print the parts and assemble. There are millions of everyday (and not so everyday) objects that you could just print out if you needed it. What if it had a copper/metal cartridge, you could print out circuits. Start printing electronic devices? Fuck...
Anyway I was wondering then, what if someone created an iPod in the software and made it available to download via bittorrent? Then millions of users would be download object files and printing there own accessories etc. I hope it happens soon... :)
Well here's the start of it...
And if you like the idea of that, then listen to this... (It's called "Printcrime" by Cory Doctorow)

The first place that people should focus on is the local store that they shop. This item is usually in the same aisle as the laundry detergents and bleach items. Therefore, it should not be hard to find if you can find it. However, most people report that they cannot find this at their local store. Therefore, the person should go around and check the other stores that are in their area.
Many people end up calling around until they know where to buy boric acid powder. Why is it so hard to find boric acid? Most stores only stock things that they know that they are going to sell, this is one of those products that up until recently, they have no had a real good chance of selling since so many people had the wrong idea about the powder.
One way that many people come across this item is by calling their local dry cleaning place that uses this powder in their line of work. The person can ask the owner just where they get their supplies, and some have even found that the person is willing to sell them a box of the boric acid that they have on hand. This is a long shot, however, for those that are desperate to find something to work on tough stains or to eliminate bugs, then they are willing to take it.
Overall when shopping for boric acid remember that you are going to more than likely end up trying out a few different stores before you find the store that is going to actually carry it.

Somewhere between "The Sitter" and his soon to be shooting remake of "Suspiria," David Gordon Green dropped the movie he'd been developing about the Barefoot Bandit. Another filmmaker is now taking on the film and it's a choice that may surprise some.
Robert Zemeckis is now attached to the movie, which bears a new and rather clunky title:"Taking Flight: The Hunt For A Young Outlaw" (so no, it's not a sequel to the director's upcoming Oscar bait "Flight"). The story concerns the real-life case of Colton Harris-Moore, a modern-day Robin Hood (of sorts), who escaped juvenile detention at the age of 18 and became quickly known for an audacious, rogue lifestyle living in the woods of Washington State. The offspring of an abusive father and alcoholic mother, he taught himself how to drive, captain and fly stolen cars, boats and planes as he continued to elude authorities and capture -- all while continuing his criminal activities and earning the nickname the "Barefoot Bandit" due to his preference to prowl without footwear. He was eventually arrested and tried, and is currently serving a six and a half year sentence.
It's compelling stuff to be sure, and as long-attached screenwriter Dustin Lance Black -- who has met with Harris-Moore -- told us this spring, he admired the young man's intelligence. "You understand what he was up against, and that he was just surviving in the extreme, and it just got more extreme because he's goddamn brilliant. He's so smart," he said, adding: "He didn't hurt anybody. I would have backed out of the project if he had."
Black is currently completing a new draft of the screenplay, with Zemeckis developing it as a directorial gig. It's certainly outside of his wheelhouse of multiplex fare, but whenever he does go down an unlikely path ("Flight," "Cast Away," "White Lies Beneath") the results tend to be a lot more interesting. So we'll see how this turns out. [THR]

That title sounds like the name of a Dateline: NBC report.

i like zemeckis but he will ruin this. dgg was perfect for the material but he chose to make 2 awful comedies instead. it's a shame because CHM was (and is) a badass for a loooong time. momma tried...

Sherdog has the story:
Fedor Emelianenko suffered a broken nose and injured his left hand during his heavyweight bout with Brett Rogers Saturday at Strikeforce/M-1 Global "Fedor vs. Rogers," Sherdog.com has learned from a source close to the fighter's camp.
After attending a post-fight press conference, Emelianenko was sent to local hospital. He returned later the same evening with his left arm in a soft cast nearly up to his elbow.
UPDATE: MMA Weekly has a report from Fedor's camp denying that the nose is broken:
Fedor Emelianenko did not sustain a broken nose in his Saturday fight with Brett Rogers, according to a member of his camp.
Steven Bash, Emelianenko's translator and American representative, said Sunday that the jab caused a deep cut to his nose, but did not damage it in any other way.
Bash confirmed that Emelianenko injured his left hand and may have dislocated his thumb requiring it to be popped back into place. The Russian heavyweight was later outfitted with a soft cast at a Chicago area hospital.
