Wait for it. Wait. For. It. No, not that. Yeah, that.
One of the first victims of this latest round of fighter cuts was Ryan Couture, who has gone 0-2 since Strikeforce folded into the UFC. Many wondered how the breakup went considering the bad blood between UFC prez Dana White and Ryan's father Randy, but it sounds like Ryan is cool with how things unfolded:
"I don't regret the approach we took. I still don't feel a need to be on anyone's [expletive] list," Ryan says with a chuckle."Besides, with dad's schedule and how often he has to be out of town, even the country, there's no guarantee he would have been able to make my fights anyway. So, it might have been a fight for no reason."
Couture didn't personally get another call from White to share the bad news of his release but Ryan says he wasn't surprised at being cut.
"My manager got a call from Joe Silva who told him that they liked me and the way I did things but that they have a lot of guys right now and they just don't have anything for me right now and that I should go build myself back up with some more wins," Ryan said.
As for what's next…
"I don't know what direction we will go yet. I just started getting back to training. We'll discuss things at some point and see what opportunities are out there, whether it is the bigger shows like Bellator or the World Series of Fighting – and I don't know if they have an interest in me – or regional shows," Ryan said.
"I'm as motivated as I ever was. Fighting is what I love to do."
So long as Couture has that bank name and the will to fight, there's gonna be people willing to pay him to fight in the cage. Unfortunately, most of those people will be looking to put their guy over by beating a Couture.
Michael Bisping's eye situation continues to sound really really bad. Fighters Only Magazine's John Joe O'Regan was around for the latest scary incident:
im staying at mike's for a few days here in LA; i just got in from visiting Alliance in San Diego and saw his girlfriend, she had just got back from taking him to Pasedena hospital. He's undergoing surgery, his eye was causing him agony apparently
Ariel Helwani later clarified that while Bisping had gone to the hospital over severe eye pain, he didn't undergo another surgery. Hopefully this latest scare will finally convince him to get off his feet and lay around doing nothing for a couple of months until the chances his eye melts out of his head decrease.
He's been way too stubborn for his own good every step of the way with this injury, from fighting twice with it to attempting some leftfield quick fix so he could still fight Mark Munoz in Manchester. Even after the surgery to deal with things after that first surgery didn't work, he was still exercising and working on his cardio. We left 'tough' behind a long time ago and are now way into 'dumb bastard' territory. As boss as Bisping happens to look with an eye patch, it'd be slightly better for him if it were a temporary look.
The Gods of MMA can be cruel indeed. This past weekend was supposed to be a great one for WMMA – legendary pound for pound #1 female fighter Megumi Fujii had her big retirement fight against the next generation's #1 strawweight Jessica Aguilar. Everything was set for an epic showdown that would not only determine the top fighter at 115 pounds but send Fujii off in a worthy fashion. Unfortunately…
During an action-packed first round, Fujii took two inadvertent eye-pokes, which prompted a lengthy delay and a doctor's examination. She opted to fight on, but as the second round wore on and Aguilar delivered a steady stream of combinations, Fujii's injured eye swelled shut and hindered her version.
Before the third round began, the doctor consulted with the ref, and the bout was waved off. Aguilar was awarded the dubious TKO victory.
What a way to go out. But perhaps this highlights the reasons Fujii is getting out of the sport. Pouring your heart and soul into a fight only to have it ruined by judges or in this case a freak eye poke incident. Megumi has been toiling for nearly a decade and has nothing left to prove. It just would have been nice if her final fight hadn't gone completely off the rails like this. And they can't even do it again because right afterwards Vale Tudo Japan held a huge 45 minute retirement ceremony.
On the glass half full side of things, we can still remember Megumi Fujii for the 28 great fights she put on rather than this last fight that got borked. It will be a long time before anyone – even Ronda Rousey – comes close to touching her legacy as the best female MMA fighter ever.
Not my opinion of the best, and probably not yours either, but some damn slick finishes none the less. It was especially nice seeing Dustin Hazelett again at #5 – MMA lost an American Aoki when he retired back in 2010. Why can't guys like him come back? Instead we get stuck with Matt Riddle.

I write about many things but my primary focus is on science and skepticism. I believe that our world could be a little better - and a lot less crazy - if more people simply understood how science works and appreciated the protective value of skeptical thinking in everyday life.
I've held numerous positions in the news industry, including editorial writer, world news editor, sports editor, photographer, page designer, and columnist. I'm a veteran travel writer, having visited and written about more than 25 countries on five continents. I have also had some very rewarding jobs teaching history and science to bright kids.

I've held numerous positions in the news industry, including editorial writer, world news editor, sports editor, photographer, page designer, and columnist. I'm a veteran travel writer, having visited and written about more than 25 countries on five continents. I have also had some very rewarding jobs teaching history and science to bright kids. My degree is in history and anthropology (University of South Florida). I've won some big awards for my writing, including the WHO (World Health Organization) Award for Health Reporting and the Commonwealth Media Award for Excellence in Journalism, but doubt anyone really cares about that stuff other than my sweet mother.
What I am most proud of in relation to my work is that my writing has touched many people. I receive messages from around the world and it's always rewarding to learn that my words have inspired one more person to think in new ways and become a good skeptic. This is what all my books to date are about: encouraging readers to turn away from the madness in order to live more sensible and honest lives, both for themselves and for the world.
When I'm not staring at a blank computer screen hoping that words will appear, I'm likely to be running, hiking, reading a science or history book, working out at a gym, or teaching critical life lessons to my children via repeated viewings of Star Trek. When normal people are consumed with thoughts about politics, economics, and the Kardashian family, I'm likely to be daydreaming about time travel, the singularity (nerd rapture) ancient Greece, extremophiles, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and robots.
One of the biggest mistakes we can make in life is to ignore or reject the possibility that we might be dead wrong about something that is very important to us.
Don't do this!
Question everything. Embrace doubt. Second guess conclusions. Be humble; after all you could be wrong. You might be the first perfect person in all of history and prehistory who is incapable of being fooled by the mistakes, lies and delusions of others. But I doubt it. You might be the first ever to rise above and see through all the deceptive quirks, traps and biases that come standard with a human brain. But I doubt it.
What good is it to hold tight to a position against every challenge if that position is in error? The goal is not to avoid ever changing your mind. The goal is to be right, or as close to it as you can be. If you value wisdom and honesty then you ought to value skepticism. Wisdom is recognizing that you don't know everything and can be fooled just like every other human who has ever lived. Wise people change their minds when evidence demands it. Honest people don't pretend to know things that they don't know.
This fundamental error in thinking crops up most often in politics and religion, of course. These two fertile fields of human thought, passion and silliness encourage if not demand that participants sacrifice their ability to think independently. This treasure is given away freely as rigid lines are drawn and feet set in cement. How can something of such value--the ability and the courage to think freely--be sacrificed by so many people with so little reluctance? Why the haste to become one more zombie in the mob? Why no remorse for the loss of so much humanity?
Please do not undervalue your ability to think independently, to grow intellectually over a lifetime, and to always do your best to move closer to truth and reality. The warmth of mindless membership may be appealing at a glance but it's fool's gold.
Change. Grow. Improve. Think and be fully human.
--Guy P. Harrison
Think: Why You Should Question Everything (2013), is a fresh and exciting approach to science, skepticism, and critical thinking. My aim is to enlighten and inspire readers of all ages. This book challenges everyone to think like a scientist and embrace the skeptical life. If you want to improve your critical thinking skills, see through most scams at first glance, and learn how your own brain can trip you up, this is the book for you. Think shows you how to better navigate through the maze of biases and traps that are standard features of every human brain. These innate pitfalls threaten to trick us into seeing, hearing, thinking, remembering, and believing things that are not real or true. It will help you trim away the nonsense, deflect bad ideas, and keep both feet firmly planted in reality. It really is in everyone's best interest to question everything. My brand of skepticism is constructive and optimistic. It's a way of life that anyone can embrace. An antidote to nonsense, quackery, and delusion, this accessible guide to critical thinking is the perfect book for anyone seeking a jolt of inspiration. It also includes great illustration by worldclass artist Kevin Hand.
My book, 50 Popular Beliefs that People Think are True (2013), is a skeptical grand tour of extraordinary claims such as ESP, ghosts, gods, psychics, astrology, UFOs, doomsday prophecies, Roswell, faith healing, Bigfoot, homeopathic medicine, and many more. Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson says of the book: "What would it take to create a world in which fantasy is not confused for fact and public policy is based on objective reality? I don't know for sure. But a good place to start would be for everyone on Earth to read this book." I'm not preachy or condescending and strive to show how we are all vulnerable to falling for unproven and unlikely claims simply because of the way our brains work. We all believe silly things. What matters is how many and how silly.
50 Simple Questions for Every Christian (2013) is written in a respectful and conversational style. It's designed to promote constructive dialogue and foster mutual understanding between Christians and non-Christians. I ask basic questions about Christian belief, not to argue but to stimulate deeper thinking about this religion. What is the born-again experience? Why would God want or need to sacrifice his only son for us? Does this sacrifice makes sense in light of the Holy Trinity doctrine? Do miracles really happen? How reliable is the Bible? What is the rapture? Why isn't everyone a Christian? Each question is followed by commentary and analysis that is skeptical and tough but never condescending. Christians will find the book useful as a basis for developing their apologetics, while skeptics should appreciate my rational analysis of religious claims.
My book Race and Reality: What Everyone Should Know about Our Biological Diversity (2010) is a wide-ranging exploration of the idea of biological races, written for the layperson. I show that these categories are inconsistent and illogical. Groups such as "blacks" and "whites" do exist, but they are cultural groups, rather than something that nature imposed on us. Races change according to time period and culture, for example, and do not represent a sensible and accurate picture of humankind's real biological diversity. Professor of sociology at Stanford University, Dr. David B. Grusky, says the book is, "a tour de force that conveys the current science on racial classification in a rigorous yet readable way. Even those who think they know it all about race and racial classification will come away changed."
50 Reasons People Give for Believing in a God (2008) is my skeptical analysis of various religious claims that I have encountered at home and abroad. Each chapter presents a common reason for belief espoused by followers of various religions and then explains why there is reason for doubt. Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic magazine, calls the book "engaging and enlightening." I wrote this book in a way that respects believers, if not always their beliefs. I have no interest in winning arguments. I only want to inspire people to think more deeply about what they believe and why.

Kobe Bryant made national news on April 12 when he called a referee as a "faggot" during a basketball game. He apologized, was fined $100,000 by the NBA, yet now pledges to appeal that fine.
My reaction to the incident came in waves.
On Wednesday, April 13, campuses across the California State University system (CSU) hosted demonstrations — dubbed Take Class Action Day — to protest budget cuts to the Cal State system.
Editor's note: Chrissy Lee Polis, 22, a transgender woman from the Baltimore area, was attacked by two girls in a McDonald's restaurant on April 18. The incident was caught on video, which went viral on You Tube. The two teenage girls have been charged in the case.
Queer Civil War buffs have been arguing for some time that the deafening silence around lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) Confederate and Union soldiers indicates proof of their very presence.
With this month commemorating the 150th anniversary of the start of the American Civil War, I went combing through Civil War annals to find our queer brethren -- and did!
Mom and Dad love each other through thick or thin, from the day they met in church to the day he died at a hospice as she held his hand.
And Mom would fall in love a second time and marry, and once again would outlive a husband.
In both cases, Mom as the widow did not have to pay estate taxes on anything she inherited. That's the law.
SAN DIEGO -- Balboa Park, our city's crown civic jewel, is close to the heart of San Diego's LGBT community.
As Hillcrest's backyard, Balboa Park hosts one the the largest Pride festivals in the nation. We utilize the resource for a wide variety of sports and outdoor activities.
But one aspect we all enjoy and appreciate is the wonderful park atmosphere created by the historic architecture and landscaping. It is of such significance that El Prado is on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district.
No faith community knows better than the Black Church how religion-based bigotry shapes prejudicial attitudes many white Americans once held toward African-Americans in this country.
Religious texts have been interpreted to justify some of this country's worst crimes against our community, resulting in the legality of slavery, the lynching of black boys and men -- including that of 15-year-old Emmett Till, which the nation will never forget -- and the prohibition of interracial marriage.
This March, UCLA student Alexandra Wallace shot to viral Internet infamy with her offensive "Asians in the Library" video.
In three short minutes posted onto YouTube, Alexandra bemoans the "hordes" of Asian students accepted at UCLA. She urges them to adopt "American manners." She complains about Asians making mobile phone calls in the library to family impacted by the recent tsunami in Japan. And to top it all off, she offers a mocking interpretation of Asian languages, complete with "ching chong ling long ting tong."
Language is such an important tool in media communication. America's conservatives play the game better than anybody. What is up ... is suddenly down. An innocent sounding catchphrase is actually sinister.
Look what America's Taliban is up to.
It didn't take long for the Religious Right to leap for joy, praise Jesus and speak in tongues after UCLA's Williams Institute published a new study last week that contends there are only 9 million LGBT Americans.
Editor's note: Kit-Bacon Gressitt's commentary appears on her blog Excuse Me, I'm Writing and is republished by SDGLN, The Ocean Beach Rag and The Progressive Post. She was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize while working for the North County Times.Southern colloquialisms are so darn charming — with those well-honed nasty edges!

Anchors Array! Hanging Stuff on the Wall Without a Stud
Studs? Forget those guys. Theyre never around when you need them most, like when youre hanging items on the wall. Use one of these 7 hollow-wall anchors instead.
By David Agrell

Stephanie Gonot
Split-ribbed anchors open up as you install the screw, so they hold better than sleeves. They don't endure daily abuse, though, so use something else for the towel bar.

An inspiring argument for the power of "patient capital" from a pioneering social entrepreneur.
A powerful argument for why we should not kid ourselves that we have been working on the most important problems.
I read this 1971 book in design school and it convinced me that design had a higher purpose than simply creating the latest consumer product.
Originally called The Psychology of Everyday Things, still the best argument for why designers can't be left to design things on their own.
Science fiction that introduced me to the idea of ecology and man's power to both destroy and create the natural environment.
A beautiful logic and pragmatism introduced to what had previously been seen as a black art.
A brilliant set of principles with which to approach the world of complexity.
The novel that introduced us all to the power of technology to undermine freedom.
A 40,000-year perspective on why it is better to make the pie bigger than compete for a slice of the existing pie.
A lovely treatise on the importance of science to craft.
A new way of thinking about intelligence that gave me some new insights about how I think creatively.
An explanation of integrative thinking, a driver of all design.
An explanation of why emergence is one of the most powerful creative forces.
This book disabused me of any notion that science is not creative.

New Book Release, August 5, 2014: What We See When We Read
How we visualize images from reading works of literature, from one of our very best book jacket designers, himself a passionate reader.
By Peter Mendelsund
Published by Vintage/Random House
Buy and details
New Book Release, August 5, 2014: Cover

So that's that RT @marykaycabot: Josh Cribbs to Arizona, source told Pd.— Jeff Howe (@jeffphowe) March 14, 2013 So maybe "losing out" is a little bit of a stretch, but the Patriots were pursuing him and at one point were the favorites to sign him. Perhaps the Danny Amendola signing had them a little less interested. Amendola can be a returner too, though not Josh Cribbs caliber. This is probably a good sign for Jeff Demps. Anyway, Cribbs has had several concussions and if he gets one more we could be getting into Austin Collie territory. Not the best thing to say about someone you want to bring in to charge into a stampede of overgrown athletic dudes. When I think about Josh Cribbs, I think about these two hits.

American tourist Frank Tupelo (Johnny Depp) is visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. On a train to Venice, the beautiful Elise Clifton-Ward (Angelina Jolie) sits next to him, and a romance seems to bud. Elise invites Frank to stay with her at a hotel, and then to attend a ball in the evening.
But there's more to this seemingly flawless girl than meets the eye: hers is a complex world of vicious gangsters, fraud and millions of stolen dollars.
And Elise has placed him at the centre of it merely as a decoy, hoping to convince her pursuers that he is her real lover, his appearance altered by plastic surgery, so that she and her embezzler boyfriend can make good their escape.
It seems to work: when Elise abandons him at the ball, Frank is chased by gangster Reginald Shaw (Steven Berkoff) and his men. But soon Frank and Elise are thrown back together, tangled in a mess of boat chases and gunshots, as they attempt to avoid both the police and the gangsters.
Also starring Paul Bettany, Timothy Dalton and Rufus Sewell.

TAMPA, Fla. — The Outback Bowl offers Georgia the chance to make its double-digit win season look even better and help set the stage for what's to come for the program in 2012.
The No. 18 Bulldogs (10-3) aim for win No. 11 today against No. 12 Michigan State (10-3), something that's been done only eight other times in program history. Georgia also wants to solidify what'Äôs expected to be a top-10 preseason ranking next season in the 1:08 p.m. game on ABC.
"You want to have that momentum going into the ofseason to say we're going to keep going up from here," junior linebacker Christian Robinson said. "We're excited about this game. We're happy that we have an opportunity to play a great opponent and hopefully to show we are a dominating team that can compete going into next season for a national championship. That's what we've all been talking about already."
Even coach Mark Richt referred to getting to college football's biggest stage eventually when he was asked Sunday about the criticism he's endured in his job during the tough times.
Richt said Georgia has everything he needs — "tremendous" facilities, "great" support from fans and administration, and top coaches.
"We're going to be knocking on the door of the greatest success that you can have in college football," Richt said. "If we keep knocking hard enough, one day we'll get there. That's kind of how I see it."
First things first — win No. 11 for this season.
Georgia last won 11 in 2007 when it went 11-2 and beat Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl. That set up a preaseason No. 1 ranking the next season.
"Coach has been telling us that this game is like the beginning of next year as far as rankings and stuff like that," linebacker Alec Ogletree said. "If we're able to win this game, it will help out rankings going into the next year."
Even before the new year, Georgia landed at No. 5 in the early 2012 rankings at NationalChamps.net behind LSU, Alabama, Southern California and Oregon. South Carolina was No. 6. The Bulldogs again have a favorable SEC schedule.
"Expecations will probably be off the chart," Geoirgia athletic director Greg McGarity said. "I'm sure we'll be highly ranked going into next year. How do we handle that? Are we just as hungry as we were last year? Are we hungrier? Are we doing everything we can to avoid complanceny?"
Quarterback Aaron Murray said this year's team changed the perception of the program and the toughness it had as the Bulldogs went from 6-7 last year to the SEC title game, where they were overwhelmed by LSU 42-10.
"If you look at our team coming back next year, we have anywhere from 15 to 17 starters coming back, depending on if a couple of juniors go or not," Murray said. "We're going to be pretty talented next year. I think this is going to be a great way for people to look at us and say, 'Hey, watch out for Georgia.' We're not coming out like the beginning of this season and people not really worrying about us. We're going to be a team that people are going to understand is going to be vying for another SEC championship."
Georgia is 5-1 in January bowl games under Richt with the only loss to West Virginia, 38-35, in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2, 2006.
"We would absolutely love for our seniors to walk out of that locker room with a smile on their face," Richt said. "It's hard to get all excited at the end of your career if the last game you played was a loss. It's tough. You're sitting there hugging everybody's neck and wishing them the best. It's going to be the last time that team is going to be together, and we want that to be a great victory.
"It's also the first game of 2012, and the way everything is set up in the BCS system, I think how you finish has something to do with how people see you when the season begins the next year."
Getting 11 wins would be special, but of course nowadays teams have more chances with the SEC title game and 12-game regular seasons the norm.
Cornerback Sanders Commings is eyeing going where Alabama and LSU are this year — in the BCS national title game.
"We can come back next year," he said, "and not start off 0-2, start off 2-0 and possibly win out and play for a natty."

Pamela Anderson has a new look.
Her trademark blond locks are trimmed and tamed on the cover of
No Tofu
, an international arts and fashion magazine.
She told another magazine almost a year ago that she used to hide behind her hair, and that's why she cut it. "To have short hair and really show my face," Pamela told
New York Magazine
, "is even more revealing than anything."
Clearly, she's forgotten her years on
. Compared to what she looked like then, this new photo is "American Gothic."

"Diversity": They Drive Us Out, We Invite Them In
Islamic countries have become more Islamic because of a deliberate policy that drives non-Muslims out; non-Islamic countries have become more Islamic because of a deliberate policy that invites Muslims in and ensures that they feel in no way hindered or upset.
Islam. the elephant in the room of European politicians on both the Left and the Right, recently became a concern again when French President Nicolas Sarkozy angered the family of Abel Chennouf -- a 25-year old corporal of the French army, who murdered by the terrorist Mohammed Merah because he was wearing a French army uniform -- by suggesting that Chennouf, a Catholic, was murdered because he "appeared to be a Muslim."
Chennouf and a colleague were shot by the Islamic jihadist,Mohammed Merah, in Montauban on March 15, four days before Merah assassinated a rabbi and three Jewish children in Toulouse. In an attempt to absolve Islam from having inspired Merah to commit his terrorist acts, Sarkozy tried to emphasize that some of Merah's victims were killed because they "looked like" Muslims.
In a radio interview on March 26, Sarkozy said: "I remind you that two of our soldiers were, how shall I put it, Muslims, in any case by appearance, as one of them was a Catholic, but by appearance [a Muslim]. One calls it 'visible diversity,'" presumably meaning that whoever does not look "French" or "European" must be Muslim.
Chennouf's family said they were appalled that the President had confounded religion with appearance. The President clearly knew that Abel Chennouf was not a Muslim, but a Christian of Moroccan origin. He implied nevertheless that Merah had killed Chennouf in an attempt to kill Muslims -- rather than French military personnel. In reality, Chennouf and his Muslim colleague, Mohammed Legouade, were killed because they were wearing French army uniforms and hence were perceived by Mohammed Merah as being at war with Islam.
The President deliberately presented Abel Chennouf as a Muslim victim of so-called Islamist violence to lend credibility to the claim that Islamism differs from Islam and is even inimical to Islam. Since 2008, when the British government decided to rename Islamic terrorism "anti-Islamic activity" to create the impression that Islamic jihadists are behaving contrary to Islam, rather than acting in the name of it, many European politicians have adopted this policy.
In truth, however, jihadists' actions are based on the admonitions found in the Koran and the Hadiths. The true face of Islam can also be seen in Morocco, the Chennouf family's country of origin. Both Christians and Jews are oppressed minorities in this supposedly pro-Western country. Today, only an estimated 50,000 Christians and 6,000 Jews are left in Morocco, which is but a tiny fraction of what their number used to be. In 1948, Morocco still boasted the highest number of Jews – over 250,000 – of the entire Arab world.
While the number of Muslims in France expanded from 200,000 in the 1940s to almost 5 million today, the Christian and Jewish populations in Northern Africa dwindled to near extinction. "Diversity" is clearly a one-way street. It increases in the West, but disappears in the Muslim world.
Islamic countries have become more exclusively Islamic because of a deliberate policy that drives the non-Muslims out; non-Islamic countries have also become more Islamic because of a policy that invites Muslims in and ensures that they feel in no way hindered or upset, even if entails that the President of France has to tell white lies on the radio. The Trojan horse of Islamization has been rolled into Europe, which is now revering it as the sacred cow of "diversity."
Immediately after Merah committed his crimes, at a moment when the identity of the culprit had not yet been revealed, the French media and leftist organizations speculated that the assassin was an indigenous blue-eyed French racist. The slogan of a multi-party protest demonstration against Merah's killings in Montauban and Toulouse read, "In France, they murder Jews, Blacks and Arabs." The Blacks and Arabs, however, like the Catholic Abel Chennouf, were murdered because they were wearing French army uniforms. To be correct the slogan would have read: "In France, jihadists murder Jews and Frenchmen." This, however, is considered so politically incorrect that no-one dares to utter it for fear of upsetting Muslims.
As everywhere in Western Europe, the French establishment adheres to a semi-official ideology which equates "Islamophobia" (as criticism of Islam is called) with "racism." Sarkozy's remark that Abel Chennouf, a French Catholic of Moroccan origin, was murdered because he was "a Muslim by appearance," and, hence, as an act of Islamphobia and racism, is in line with this ideology. For politicians such as Nicolas Sarkozy, the concept that Islam is at war with the West is simply inconceivable or too disturbing to address.
Nevertheless, Sarkozy is aware that the French electorate is worried about the open-border policies of the past decades which have allowed people like Merah to enter France. Instead of blaming the French political class for this open-border policies towards Islamic immigration, Sarkozy is blaming Europe.
On May 6, France will elect a new President. Sarkozy, who is running for reelection, has made the Schengen Agreement into a major campaign topic. The 1985 Schengen Agreement, named after the Franco-German-Luxembourgian border town where it was signed, created a European area, currently consisting of 26 countries, where people can travel freely with no internal border controls. It is the most tangible realization of the European Union's unification process.
Last week, Sarkozy's Foreign Minister Alain Juppé told The Financial Times that France considers pulling out of the Schengen zone in order to reclaim control over its own borders. Juppé said this was "an intellectual revolution" which had to be made. In the same move he said that the EU had to close its markets to countries which do not allow free access to European companies in return. Hans-Peter Friedrich, the German Interior Minister, also advocated amending the Schengen Treaty to be able to reinstall border controls between EU member states.
The whole debate is now focusing on Schengen -- restricting the free movement of people and goods between European states, hence on rolling back the whole process of European integration, rather than on confroting the danger of of large-scale Islamic immigration and the folly of promoting "diversity."
Mohammed Merah, however, did not enter France from Germany, Belgium, Greece or any other Schengen-zone country. He was the son of immigrants who entered France directly from Algeria. If France wishes to prevent atrocities like the killings committed by Mohammed Merah from happening again, France would do well to focus on the intolerant nature of Islam instead of focusing on its European borders and the concept of intra-European free travel and free trade. If it did so, it would realize that the richness of France's true diversity – which is apparent from indigenous secular, Christian or Jewish Frenchmen serving in the French Army alongside Blacks, Catholics of Moroccan origin and even people of Muslim origin – is being threatened by an ideology of "visible diversity" which lumps everyone who does not look "visibly French" or "European," into the Muslim category.
Sarkozy's gaffe reminds one of what happened to the son of the Peruvian-born, very Catholic cleaning lady. The boy, whose name was Emmanuel, was placed in the Muslim religious class at his primary school: the schoolmaster reckoned that as he was dark-skinned he must be a Muslim. Emmanuel's mother discovered this when her son came home with stories of Muhammad killing the infidels, rather than with Jesus Christ's message of love. She was appalled, just as Abel Chennouf's pregnant widow, Catherine, was when, according to President Sarkozy, the supreme commander of the French army, she heard that her husband had been killed not for proudly wearing the French uniform, but because he… looked like a Muslim. The blindness of Europe's leaders is an insult to its people.

Abbas's Responsibility for Murder
by Khaled Abu Toameh
To understand what drives a young Palestinian to carry out such a deadly attack, one needs to look at the statements of Palestinian Authority leaders during the past few weeks.
The anti-Israel campaign of incitement reached its peak with Abbas's speech at the UN a few weeks ago, when he accused Israel of waging a "war of genocide" in the Gaza Strip. Abbas made no reference to Hamas's crimes against both Israelis and Palestinians.
Whatever his motives, it is clear that the man who carried out the most recent attack, was influenced by the messages that Abbas and the Palestinian Authority leadership have been sending their people.
Israel's Security and Unintended Consequences
by Richard Kemp
Would General Allen -- or any other general today -- recommend contracting out his country's defenses if it were his country at stake? Of course not.
The Iranian regime remains dedicated to undermining and ultimately destroying the State of Israel. The Islamic State also has Israel in its sights and would certainly use the West Bank as a point from which to attack, if it were open to them.
There can be no two-state solution and no sovereign Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan, however desirable those things might be. The stark military reality is that Israel cannot withdraw its forces from the West Bank.
Fatah leaders ally themselves with the terrorists of Hamas, and, like Hamas, they continue to reject the every existence of the State of Israel.
If Western leaders actually want to help, they should use all diplomatic and economic means to make it clear to the Palestinians that they will never achieve an independent and sovereign state while they remain set on the destruction of the State of Israel.
Palestinian Statehood?
by Louis René Beres
The Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO], forerunner of today's Palestinian Authority, was founded in 1964, three years before Israel came into the unintended control of the West Bank and Gaza. What therefore was the PLO planning to "liberate"?
Why does no one expect the Palestinians to cease all deliberate and random violence against Israeli civilians before being considered for admission to statehood?
On June 30, 1922, a joint resolution of both Houses of Congress of the United States endorsed a "Mandate for Palestine," confirming the right of Jews to settle anywhere they chose between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. This is the core American legacy of support for a Jewish State that President Obama now somehow fails to recall.
A sovereign state of Palestine, as identified by the Arabs -- a Muslim land occupied by "Palestinian" Arabs -- has never existed; not before 1948, and not before 1967. From the start, it was, and continues to be, the Arab states -- not Israel -- that became the core impediment to Palestinian sovereignty.
EU Tyranny: New Law against Democratically Dismantling EU from Within
by Timon Dias
It looks as if this new law is meant to serve as a severe roadblock to parties that would like to dismantle the EU in a democratic and peaceful way from within.
A rather dull semantic trick pro-EU figures usually apply, is calling their opponents "anti-Europe."

The ACC announced their conference matchups
Apr 24, 2013, 2:00 PM EDT
On Tuesday, news started to leak out that the ACC had announced who and where each of the league's 15 teams will be playing their 18 games next season. Each team will be playing four home-and-home series while playing the other 10 teams in the league once each, five at home and five on the road.
And in perhaps the least surprising decision, Maryland will not be hosting Duke. Or North Carolina. Or NC State. It makes sense. The Terps almost tore apart the ACC by ditching the conference for the Big Ten to stabilize their athletic department's financial situation by chasing the almighty dollar. It forced the league to sign a grant of media rights deal. And you thought the ACC was just going to let that slide without doing what they could to fire back? L. O. L.
Here are some other interesting notes:
- Duke will obviously be playing their home-and-home with North Carolina, but the other home-and-home series that will draw quite a bit of intrigue for the Blue Devils will be against Syracuse. If CJ Fair returns, both will be top ten teams. Can you imagine what the Carrier Dome will be like for Duke's first trip up there? How much Orange will the Cuse be able to get into Cameron Indoor?
- Syracuse will also host North Carolina, another team that looks like they are going to spend much of the season in or around the top ten. That'll be fun as well.
- I'm glad that the ACC has Syracuse as an annual partner with Pitt, meaning that they'll play twice every season. That was always an underrated rivalry in the Big East.
- Virginia only plays Duke, UNC and Syracuse once each. The Cavs should be pretty good next season. That's a favorable schedule, especially considering that they host both the Tar Heels and the Orange.
- Florida State draws home-and-homes with Clemson, Virginia, Maryland and Miami. They avoid Duke, UNC and Syracuse twice as well, but this is only significant is they end up landing Andrew Wiggins.
You can find Rob on twitter @RobDauster.
- jcosdc - Apr 24, 2013 at 2:37 PM
Rob – How did Maryland nearly "tear" apart the ACC by leaving for the Big 10? This seems to be a huge double standard.
The ACC took and took and took teams from other conferences, mostly the Big East, for years. Yet when one team leaves, the conference acts in shock like somebody destroyed them.
Also, if Maryland never left, the "rivalry" with Pittsburgh was supposed to be with Maryland, not Syracuse. So for that part of the equation, Maryland leaving actually helped.
The ACC messed itself up years ago when it went beyond 9 teams.
- xli2006 - Apr 25, 2013 at 7:42 AM
If you think a Media Deal or ANY contract will keep teams from switching conferences you are mistaken.
As long as "money conferences" like the B10 and SEC exist and the push for Superconferences remains there will always be the prospect of teams leaving.
- pastabelly - Apr 25, 2013 at 11:37 AM
Syracuse fourth home and home should be with BC.
The ACC is now to basketball what the SEC is to football.

After two games on the road, the Nationals return to Space Coast Stadium to take on the New York Mets for the second time this spring.
Gio Gonzalez will make his 2014 Grapefruit League debut for the Nationals as they try to snap a two-game losing streak. Actually, neither Gonzalez nor the Nationals care about a spring training losing streak. But it's always nice to beat the Mets! New York will counter with right-hander Jenrry Mejia.
The Nationals last played the Mets in their Grapefruit League opener in Port St. Lucie, Florida Feb. 28, a game which the Nationals won by a score of 5-4. It'll be the second of six meetings between the two clubs this spring and they will meet again March 31 in New York for Opening Day.
Matt Williams gave some good news on the injury front, as Jayson Werth (biceps strain) is better and should make his 2014 Grapefruit League debut today.
"He's going to go through a full workout today to make sure," Williams told MLB.com's Joe Morgan yesterday, "but he's scheduled to go tomorrow."
First pitch for today's game is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. and the game will not air on TV.

Not so much in school. But I'll get to that in a minute. In its fourth report on the future of the First Amendment since 2004, the Knight Foundation found that "social media are good for the [US] Constitution." The study, which surveyed more than 12,000 high school students and 900 teachers, found that 91% of students who use social networking to get news and information on a daily basis believe people should be allowed to express unpopular opinions, compared to 82% of monthly users, and 77% of those who never use social media. "Students using their cell phones to text, tweet, blog and google are finding out more about the world – like this year's Arab Spring – as well as the connection between social media and freedom," according to the Knight Foundation. "This year's First Amendment survey also shows students' use of digital media for news and information is growing. Since 2006, it has doubled, with three-quarters of the students getting news from social media several times a week." In other findings, 61% of students and 35% of teachers believe "high school students should be allowed to report controversial issues in their student newspapers without the approval of school authorities." Nearly half (49%) of high school teachers believe social media are harmful to education, a collaborator on the study, Eric Newton of the Knight Foundation told my ConnectSafely co-director in an audio interview for CNET. And yet, Newton reported in his blog about the study, teachers "think there needs to be a lot more digital media literacy education in schools." He goes on to write that "fewer students say they get First Amendment instruction in school than they did in our last survey. And only 30% of the teachers say they are teaching it," even though 86% say it's "very important" that schools teach it. In its coverage Fast Company reports that, "alarmingly, 26% of American high school teachers believe that websites should not be allowed to publish freely without some sort of 'government approval'."

WICHITA, Kansas — A Kansas man charged with plotting a suicide bombing at a Wichita airport could possibly go to trial by early next summer, a federal judge said Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Monti Belot set deadlines for various motions in the case against Terry Loewen, an avionics technician facing terrorism-related charges, but he stopped short of setting a firm trial date. The judge told attorneys during a brief hearing that he wanted to move the case along quickly.
"I say to Mr. Loewen, I recognize where you are," Belot told the defendant. "I am sure you don't like it."
"Not a lot, sir," Loewen replied.
Loewen has been jailed since his Dec. 13 arrest for allegedly trying to bring a van filled with inert explosives onto the tarmac at Wichita's Mid-Continent Airport, since renamed the Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport. Loewen worked at the time at the Hawker Beechcraft Services facility at the airport, and was arrested following a months-long sting operation.
Prosecutors allege he planned a suicide bomb plot that was intended to inflict "maximum carnage" and would have killed and injured hundreds of people. The final plan — hatched in an undercover scheme with two FBI agents posing as conspirators — was to detonate the device between terminals for maximum casualties during an explosion in which Loewen would die as a martyr.
He has pleaded not guilty to attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, attempting to use an explosive device to damage property and attempting to give material support to al-Qaida.
His defense attorneys have argued that the FBI groomed Loewen for months before his arrest, and that there are no co-conspirators or any connection to actual al-Qaida contacts.
Before Thursday's public hearing, the judge also met privately in his chambers with prosecutors for a separate hearing under the Classified Information Procedures Act that is invoked when a criminal case deals with classified information.

It's great to get a new computer, but it takes hours to actually get the thing set up so you can use it. If you're a developer, Lapwing Laps has a guide to automate the whole process, including setting up special default settings.
The bulk of the guide uses Homebrew to snag software, but from there it also walks you through restoring configurations from other computers, and includes a handy script to customize your Mac so it works a little better. Obviously you'll need to go through a set up these scripts to suit your needs, but it's a good starting point if you want to make setting up a new Mac a little easier.

Google researchers reveal new Poodle bug, putting the web on alert [feedly]
Google researchers reveal new Poodle bug, putting the web on alert
// The Verge
A trio of Google researchers published a troubling bug today, sending much of the web into panic mode to ensure systems were adequately secure. The report describes a POODLE attack (short for "Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption") that would effectively circumvent SSL protections, the same protocol targeted by Heartbleed earlier this year. This bug, also known as "Poodlebleed," is not as serious or as far-reaching as Heartbleed, but has still raised alarms in the research community.
Also known as "Poodlebleed"
SSL protects data in transit between a website and a user, usually indicated by a green padlock icon and an HTTPS url. If SSL is compromised, a sophisticated attacker could intercept and replace data in transit, opening the door to all manner of attack. Rumors have been circulating all day that SSL was insecure, but this report explains the bug in detail, giving admins a head start in fixing the bug as well as providing would-be attackers with a road map for exploiting the bug.
The Poodle attack targets SSL version 3.0 in particular, which was replaced 15 years ago but is still supported by many systems and can be triggered under the right circumstances. As a result, researchers are urging sysadmins to discontinue SSL 3.0 support, which should be sufficient to prevent the Poodle attack. "If either side supports only SSL 3.0, then all hope is gone," the report says, "and a serious update required to avoid insecure encryption." Further details can be found here.

This Video Explains Why Microwaves Are Safe (Even When Running) [feedly]
This Video Explains Why Microwaves Are Safe (Even When Running)
// Lifehacker
We've all heard the tales of our cancer-causing cooking boxes we keep in the kitchen, but they really aren't dangerous to be around when they're running.
Craig Benzine from the Mental Floss YouTube channel takes a look at the classic myth in this video. While it's true that microwave ovens use microwave radiation to cook your food, there's no evidence that any dangerous levels of radiation escape. See that layer of mesh on the glass? That keeps the microwaves from escaping. It's still not recommended to stare into the microwave while it's working its magic, but the FDA regulates all microwave ovens sold in the US to ensure their safety. When it comes to what should or shouldn't be microwaved, however, that's a completely different story.

418 yards.
Elliot also proved himself to be very useful in the short passing game last week, especially of the swing-pass variety (something Ross brought up in his column yesterday). I think he may be our best skill player on offense.
Dude has the opportunity for a special season, IMO.
Nice break from work, thanks! Love spending a fall Saturday afternoon here.
Have this on the DVR waiting for when I come home today - looking forward to watching it.
It saddens me that some members of the punditry will take this as an opportunity to rehash the whole "Urban lied!!!1111" discussion. Since when do we openly mock people who admit that they were leading an unhealthy life and have gained perspective and rediscovered the importance of greater things, like family? I am sure that Pat Forde, in next weeks "Forde Yard Dash" (the journalistic equivalent of a stale fart, btw), will break out his staid reasoning against Urban Meyer (and hell, he will probably take this time to blame Muschamp's problems on Urban as well). Regardless of anything I hope that people come to realize the importance of perspective and balance. Taking care of yourself physically is definitely important, but the mental side of things needs care too.
I was really depressed after Saturday's result. Then I saw how well almost all of the Buckeyes taken in last year's draft performed in week 1. Folks, we lost a TON of talent off of last year's team. Yikes.
Feeling better, but man would it be nice to have Mewhort, Linsley, El Guapo, et al. back on offense (not to mention Braxton).
I really want to see more Raekwon in the future. Dude is a player.
Thanks for the informative write-up, Ross. One question: you alluded to the fact that OSU had trouble getting off of the field on third down and indeed, many of these situations were third and longs. To my untrained eye it seemed like the biggest problem was Brewer eventually being able to find an open tight end and thus convert. Do you have any idea of how Ash will combat this going forward? I have to believe that the Buckeyes would have had a better chance of winning if they could have just gotten off the field on third and long last Saturday.
Barrett 47
63-13 good guys. EzE goes beast mode.
Sick unis. Props, Navy.
Tony Gerdman is pretty insightful; I really enjoy his stuff. They used to have a writer named Brandon Castel who was also very good. I'd say check them out for some additional insight and perspective. The sight layout is definitely very GeoCities-esque, but if you can get past that the writing isn't bad.
I believe the their forum technically has a "no politics" rule, but it is not enforced by any means. I've seen forum topics there that began as a discussion on football but then became just excessively political. As someone who likes to keep my politics and sports separate, I can't handle that. As someone mentioned above, they are not very open to new comers. I also like that fans of opposing schools are welcomed here at 11W; definitely not the case at the O-Zone.
No one is saying that Urban Meyer needs to dress in a chicken suit for a game
Speak for yourself.
I feel way better about next season. Welcome to Ohio State, Anthony Lee!
Dayton's little brother complex, ladies and gents. Gives em something to talk about now that they can't get all hot and bothered about playing Xavier a few times a year.
All that aside, congrats to UD for getting to the Sweet 16. Someone said it above: if you don't want to get trolled, don't lose the game. That being said (and I think I mentioned this in a post before the game was played) if you have UD friends, I strongly encourage you to cut contact with them for at least a year. You will probably never hear the end of this until the Flyers end up in the NIT next year.
Simply too hard for this team to score. Disappointed but not surprised. They are who they are.
Football team: please no spring-ending injuries, aight? No more bad news. Kthxbai.
Good for Sibert - glad that he has found the right situation for him.
On a related note, all of you Buckeyes who know UD fans will want to spend no fewer than 10 hours the next two days praying that OSU wins this one. I am a Xavier grad who roots for OSU as well, so the potential for never-ending bragging on the part of UD fans is an immense concern with me (especially with the selection committee jobing the Muskies and sending them to Dayton for the First Four). Dayton will most likely be playing in the NIT once again next year, but if they beat the Buckeyes you will literally never hear the end of it.
I cannot express to you the seriousness of this situation.
Not sure how to feel. It is Purdue, and OSU should definitely have handled them more easily, but it does seem like they came out flat (have no idea how; this team can lose to anyone) AND the tourney is all about surviving and advancing. Get a good night's sleep and come out more sharp for Nebrasketball.
That series of events was ridonculous.
Free throws : Ohio State basketball :: Tackling : Ohio State Football.
Still don't understand ESPN kicking Musberger to the SEC. Makes no sense.
This is what it's come to: we are more afraid of playing Penn State than a potential semifinal game with Michigan (the conference's best team).
Alright! Go Bucks!

Oakland Raiders vs. Jacksonville Jaguars: 5 Keys for the Silver and Black
- Updated: September 10, 2013
The game of the year is this Sunday when the Jacksonville Jaguars travel to face the Oakland Raiders. What must the home team do?
Shut down the run
The Raiders allowed the Indianapolis Colts to gain 4.9 yards-per-rush in Week 1. Now the team has to contain Maurice Jones-Drew, who can round the edge and grind between the tackles equally well. Partly due to their nightmare at quarterback, Jacksonville will lean hard on Jones-Drew, so Oakland can't let him gain rhythm. The Raiders also need to stay on their toes for when the Jaguars inevitably attempt a reverse with the speedy Cecil Shorts III or Ace Sanders.
Pressure the #2 (or #7)
Failed Miami Dolphins starter Chad Henne will get the nod behind center with Blaine Gabbert hurt, and Raiders defenders should be drooling. Henne was erratic when forced into action playing the Raiders last season (a game he lost in overtime 26-23). Oakland generated four sacks in Indianapolis blitzing various positions early and often, so this formula should be effective on the heavy-footed passer.
Attack the cornerbacks
Jacksonville is dangerously exposed outside, as the squad opted to go with rookie third-rounder Dwayne Gratz and career-backup Alan Ball as their Week 1 starters. They are overmatched by Denarius Moore and Rod Streater so this is Terrelle Pryor's chance to build confidence in his arm.
Guide Terrelle Pryor
This goes for offensive coordinator Greg Olsen, who did a masterful job last week with his playcalling keeping Pryor in a position to succeed. Olsen must reuse his designed quarterback runs and "pistol" option plays to keep the Jaguars off-balance, but a few more throws this week are likely considering Jacksonville's lack of pass rush and paper-thin cornerback depth.
Limit special teams mistakes
A missed 48-yard field goal by Sebastian Janikowski before halftime could have been the difference for the Raiders against the Colts, which goes to show why perfection is expected in these situations. Oakland's punt coverage was also sloppy in their only opportunity, so special teams coach Bobby April should stress improving lane discipline in practice.
