"Why would you forcibly medicate the population with fluoride chemicals via the water supply when you could instead forcibly medicate them with birth control drugs? That seems to be the opinion of Nolan Finley, the editorial page editor at The Detroit News, who says that too many people on welfare are having babies in Detroit, Mich., and that adding birth control sterilants to the water supply just might be a good solution to the problem."
So, things like funding more family planning initiatives and centers, and lobbying for increased sex education in schools, and increasing support for young parents to find jobs and have affordable day care, that's all out of the question, but forcibly sterilizing the poor to control their population? Totally cool.

It hasn't been an easy week in the world of MMA. Fighters are dropping off the UFC's first card in Mexico like flies thus leaving the most important belt in the promotion undefended for over a year. Part of this was the UFC's own doing my tossing Cain and Verdum on some foreign iteration of TUF, yet I digress… If Saturday's UFC 179 main event could captivate the collective MMA community, the UFC might be able to breath a sigh of relief. I'll break down the Featherweight title scrap between Jose Aldo and Chad Mendes after the jump.
A Rematch That Actually Matters! A Glance at UFC 179
Five Fights I Can't Wait to Watch at UFC 178
In case you weren't aware, there is quite the doozy of a UFC card going down this Saturday. Former champions and number one contenders returning from lengthy lay offs. One of the most heralded fighters that has ever existed outside of the Zuffa Universe has finally broken free of his Bellator chains and will be making his big show debut. Also, the most electrifying persona in the sport is facing his toughest test to date and I haven't even mentioned the Main Event yet! Why, you ask? Because no one cares about it! Read why after the jump!
MMA Club Training Videos 9.7.14
Here are some recent training videos from a workout at the the Meriden Martial Arts Club. We're just getting started, but we have five regular members who train in Shohei-Ryu karate and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Take a look and let us know what you think. If you're ever in the Meriden, CT area, let us know! All ages and skill levels are welcome! Click here to visit out club site for more information.
What Really Went Down at UFC Fight Night 50
So, as you know, the Moai Martial Arts crew was live and in living color at UFC Fight Night 50 this past Friday. This rare dual post will cue our faithful readers in on some of our favorite moments and observations from the show.
So, Boss, what was your most memorable moment from Friday night?
Bill - Spending it with you, buddy! The fights weren't bad either. I gotta say J-Lau's ability to get everyone in Bridgewater, MA to come to his fights is pretty awesome. The sea of red shirts surging the cage after his win was pretty great–a real [insert sports movie here] kind of moment. Inspiring, given all he and his family have been through lately.
Your ability to hold back the tears after Reem got KTFO'd again was pretty inspiring, too.
ALar - Well, that's all fine and dandy, but witnessing Jacare's dominance in person was something to behold. While all the drunken imbeciles were demonstrating their displeasure with the Brazilian's threatening and utterly commanding top control, I was enthralled. Few fighters are electric when on the mat, but Jacare certainly fills that role.
Oh, yeah, and that whole thing where I was a mere foot from the Gator after the fight was pretty cool. The lucky dude in front of me was gifted Jacare's shirt because he was shrieking in Portueguese. I guess I'll have to pick up Rosetta Stone before the next fight…
So what did you think of Foxwoods as a venue for a UFC event?
Bill - This is my third UFC show. The first two were at Boston Garden (or the Fleet Center, or TD Bank North Garden, or whatever non-New Englanders call it now). The excitement of watching great fights in a packed arena can't be beat. The crowd chanting "MMA!, MMA!" when Couture choked out James Toney at UFC 118 was great. Conor McGregor's uproarious reception in Boston for UFC Fight Night 26 was ridiculous. Turn up the volume and check it out!
That said, The Grand Theater at Foxwoods was a better experience. Far better. Imagine seeing your favorite super-star artists like Jay-Z or One Direction or Cher playing a club show after they became famous (I know, I have weird taste in music). That's what watching the UFC last Friday night felt like.
We were so close to the cage it was silly, and we had the cheap seats. We were at cage level, and we could hear all the thudding leg kicks and smashing takedowns. Security was also really cool about fans standing cage-side, which was so awesome (see above).
Aside from the DJ who mixed "Tequila" with dubstep–a toxic cocktail that induced mental images of PeeWee Herman twerking–it was an amazing night!
ALar – The Sensei is right, the intimate venue provided a magnificent setting for my first UFC event. For a company that can pack 55,000 people into an arena in Toronto, this show in front of 5,000 people didn't miss a beat. It was simple to monitor my favorite journalists mid-fight actions (I'm looking at you Mindenhall!) and even catch a glimpse of Chuck Liddell and Chris Weidman trading tips cageside.
The crowd itself was mostly intelligent, which was mildly surprising. Well, besides Mikey, Vinny, and Joey who sat behind us for the prelims. I knew they were well rounded fight fans when they dropped remarks like, "These seats suck" (Which they didn't…), "He's doin' all da basic moves, you can't win like that," (In the midst of Chas Skelly working an armbar… His mom was also sitting in front of us which was pretty cool. You haven't lived until you have watched a mother watch her son fight in a cage for money.) Those guys were losers, and I'm assuming they found a gold chain and V-neck combo sale sometime before the Main Card started and were never heard from again.
So let's throw out a bold prediction or two for one of the Main Event fighters.
ALar – For me, I can safely say that SHOULD be Alistair Overeem's last MMA fight. The man has accumulated so many hits to the head that it only takes a soft breeze to ring his bell. Walking out of the building, we likened Ubereem to a kit car. He has the build of a Ferrari, but the engine of a Camry. There is nothing left for him in the sport; if he needs to fight, he should go back to kickboxing where the gloves are bigger and the careers are longer. Even if 'Reem still thinks he can be a viable MMA fighter, my slightly less bold prediction is that we witnessed the Dutchman's last UFC fight…
Bill - I second that. He seemed okay when we saw him in the lobby after the fights (no pic–two dead iPhones, really?), but when it's time it's time. The sad thing is, he looked like a new fighter out there. Long, low stance, lots of movement, some creative striking. Dare I say it? The Reem looked a lot like Bones. I hope he has the sense to hang it up, but if he dropped a weight class and took on a few fighters left in Jones's wake, I'd tune in.
Here's an easy prediction I know ALar will second. Let's get Jacare in the ring with Weidman after he demolishes the diminishing Belfort, huh? Why does Vitor get a title fight anyway?
UFC Fight Night 50: We'll Be In the Building!
In a last second celebratory decision, the Moai Martial Arts boys will be at Foxwoods tonight for the UFC Fight Night: Jacare v. Mousasi card! This will be ALar's first live UFC event and he can't freaking wait! Pay attention to our Twitter account @MoaiMartialArts for live updates and commentary.
If you notice two dudes screaming irrationally loud for Joe Lauzon, that's us! Say what's up and buy ALar a beer!
UFC 177: The Rematch NO ONE Wanted to See
I genuinely feel bad for TJ Dillashaw. He utterly dismantled reigning Champion Renan Barao at UFC 173 back in May. Barao, the same fighter Dana White had been lauding as one of the best in the world prior to the fight, looked like a scared puppy in the cage as Dillashaw charged forward as a ravenous bulldog. Throwing this rematch together just three months after that fateful night is a monumental slap in the face to the new Champ.
From the Mat to the Cage: Erin Harpe on Beginning her MMA Career
Erin Harpe is fresh off her first amateur MMA fight, defeating Yarlyn Gonzalez by unanimous decision at the August 16th Florida Championship Fighting event. She's already made a name for herself, competing in the Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu Jitsu Championship this year and coming back home with the gold from the 72kg Blue Belt division. I interviewed the 20 year old Royce Gracie Purple Belt to ask her thoughts on her first fight, what training is like and what lies ahead.
Ryan Bradbury: Okay, your first amateur MMA fight was last week, how does it feel to have your entry in the MMA world start with a win?
Erin Harpe: It was awesome being able to step into the cage. I was anticipating it for months, since I was originally going to debut in February, but then got injured so i had to pull out of that. then, I had Abu Dhabi and worlds to compete in, so i had to take time off MMA for those as well. I feel like this last fight was perfect timing though, because my cardio was on point, and although i was super nervous, I kept my composure, and I was actually comfortable striking, so all those months of training paid off.
Do you plan on concentrating on MMA now that or do you see yourself continuing to compete in grappling events?
I will be concentrating on MMA more, but as long as the tournaments don't conflict with my fights, I won't stop competing. I love Jiu Jitsu, and competing is my "fun time". I may not be doing as many of the IBJJF tournaments as I've done in the past, but I'll be doing the bigger events. For instance, I'm scheduled to fight in October, and i will also be competing in No-Gi Pans this September.
Well good luck with both of those! Outside of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, what does your training consist of week to week?
Thank You! So our coach, Matt Arroyo, has our fight team on a Monday – Saturday schedule. The schedule consists of; Muay Thai, wrestling, Boxing, and BJJ training, as well as sparring,and strength and condition. I train about 4 hours a day.
Wow that's a full schedule, now you've recently moved down to Gracie Tampa to train correct?
Yes, I moved down here last August, and it's been the best decision I ever made.
I finally meet Rob Kahn this summer, and I can say he definitely lives up to the hype. How has training with him and the coaches down there improved you game?
Hobby K (Rob's nickname) is awesome! He built such a strong organization here filled with amazing black belts and practitioners. That man is a jiu jitsu genius lol he really breaks every technique down for you and simplifies it.
I have to agree, and while I only got to try one class with him while I was down in Tampa but he breaks situations down very well.
now, i do train with Matt Arroyo full time, who is also a mat genius. He was on the ultimate fighter on the Serra vs. Hughes season, so he knows exactly was the UFC is looking for. His only mission as a coach is to do anything he can to train and help us reach our ultimate goal, to become UFC champions. He has complete faith in us, so we must treat training seriously. Matt is one of the best coaches I've worked with.
Yes I remember when he was on that season, he did very well.
Your Father, Royce Gracie Black Belt James Harpe is the head coach at Gracie Agawam, he has to be very proud of you, seeing you follow in his footsteps. Is coaching something you see yourself doing, or do you want to concentrate on fighting now?
Yes, I definitely would love to become an instructor and open my own academy, but that's 10 years down the road. Right now, I'm focused on getting better in MMA so i can transition into the UFC (in a couple of years), and to continue to excel in BJJ. And yes my father is very proud. He never misses a fight or tournament.
It has to be great to see women's MMA, especially in the UFC make gains in popularity. Is there anyone in the sport you look up to in particular?
Yes for sure, its a blessing for us female fighters. I look up Ronda Rousey as far as her talent, determination, and heart for this sport. I think her attitude sometimes puts a negative image onto women's MMA. However, a woman i do idolize is Miriam Nakamoto. She is an amazing fighter who fights in the Invicta FC . She's not in the UFC yet, but she will be. She very talented, and we share similar headstrong mindsets. I also love Holly Holms. Shes just a natural beasts lol.
I agree, Ronda's comment on beating any women in BJJ didn't win her any fans. So does That mean some judo in your future?
Not really… I'm not a huge judo fan. I learning take downs through wrestling. Don't get me wrong, judo is a beautiful art, but it's not my cup of tea lol.
Okay just one more question I wanted to ask you about the fight. Your opponent was changed at the last minute correct? Did that play with your nerves at all?
Only slightly. I really wanted to fight, and the girl who didn't show to weigh ins was the 3rd opponent who backed out, so I was ready to fight anyone at that point. I worked too hard and waited too long to not have a fight. that's why i have so much respect for Yarlyn, who took the fight on 24 hours notice. Not many women would do that
Wow, that's not an easy thing to do.
There are two UFC Main Events this weekend, but are there really?
There are two UFC events this weekend: One in the Asian gambling haven of Macau headlined by Michael Bisping and Cung Le, the other in the MMA hotbed of Tulsa, headlined by Benson Henderson and Rafael Dos Anjos. Quick! If I lined up Rafael Dos Anjos, Raphael Assuncao, and Renan Barao in a row, could you tell me who was who? Sadly, I doubt it.
If Ryan Bader and OSP fight in the woods, does it make a sound?
Now, listen here loyal followers: Even with an event as weak as this Saturday's card in the boonies of Maine, I wasn't going to leave you without your ALar fix. In my mind, this card serves one purpose: to let Dana White hang out at his Maine vacation compound during fight week. That's about it, I mean, OSP/Bader is a solid light heavyweight tilt, but it should by no means be a Main Event in the UFC in the year 2014. You can see the full card after the jump.
Shohei-Ryu Karate Masters Camp and Dan Test 2014
What a Great Week!
Ed and Jean DeCosta hosted a training camp on August 4 through 9, 2014, in celebration of the dojo's 40th anniversary. Congrats again to Ed and Jean, and thank you for your many years of dedication and service to others! I think all in attendance can agree that they did a great job planning everything, and the training was top notch.
Master Nakahodo, Master Higa, and Mr. Nakasone viewed and critiqued katas for five days straight and presided over a dan test on the sixth. I'd be remiss if I didn't thank them as well!
The opportunity to meet karateka from throughout this country was an added bonus. We put together an e-mail list for networking purposes. I know I met a lot of great people I'd like to keep in touch with. Please e-mail me if you'd like a copy of the list.
A recap of the week including pictures, training notes, and a special video follow after the jump!

It would be unfitting of the 2014 Philadelphia Eagles offseason for the team to have a day go by without a story regarding one of their notable players. Sure enough, the morning after head coach Chip Kelly apparently set disgruntled wide receiver DeSean Jackson's mind at ease, or so they tell us, another one of the Eagles star players; guard Evan Mathis, according to Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) of the NFL Network, is interested in parlaying his breakout 2014 season into a new deal.
#Eagles have made it known Pro Bowl guard Evan Mathis is available via trade, sources say. So WR DeSean Jackson is not alone on trade block
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 26, 2014
Rapoport goes on to cite Mathis' age, 32, as a driving force to turn his 2014 season into a deal that earns him more than his expected $5.15 million base salary for the 2015 campaign. Last season Mathis was named to the Associated Press' All Pro 1st team for the first time in his career. He has started all 32 games over the last two seasons and was ProFootballFocus' third runner-up for offensive players of the year in 2013. Since the Eagles signed the journeyman guard prior to the 2011 campaign, he has been among the most consistent performers on the team. He parlayed his impressive first year with the Eagles to a 5-year/$25 million contract with the team after hitting the open market, with the Eagles staving off a strong push from the Baltimore Ravens. Although it is only up to speculation, it is apparent the Alabama product sees an opportunity to cash in once more in the second half of his career and is willing to test the resolve of the Eagles organization.
Mathis is an extremely important piece along the Eagles offensive line. One could argue that the veteran unit, along with rookie Lane Johnson, was the most impressive group for the Eagles last season and essential to their success in the run game. Mathis' rare blend of athleticism, football IQ, and ability to work within the locker room make him a invaluable piece. That said, although they somewhat bucked the trend signing Jason Peters, the Eagles have never been a franchise that succumbs to contract demands of 30+ year old players. Mathis turns 33 in November and, if the organization anticipates a painful holdout or any sort of issue with Mathis' agent, they have shown they are not afraid to gauge value of some of their marquee players. Yet another twist in what has already been a highly active offseason for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Mail Service Costs Netflix 20x More Than Streaming
samzenpus posted more than 3 years ago | from the costly-snail dept.473
Jake writes "Netflix currently pays up to $1 per DVD mailed round trip, and the company mails about 2 million DVDs per day. By comparison, the company pays 5 cents to stream the same movie. In other words, the company pays 20 times more in postage per movie than it does in bandwidth. Doing some simple math, Netflix is spending some $700 million per year in physical disk postage. Rising content prices are offset by declining postage fees for the company, as more and more users choose the streaming-only option. Furthermore, subscriber revenues will continue to increase as Netflix increases the size of its streaming library."

She's suffering severe depression and PSTD. She is going to take next semester off and try to get healthy.
I'm heartsick. I need advice as to how to best support her. I understand the PTSD and associated triggers all too well and I learned about a couple of significant triggers today. I'm trying to read as much as I can, but I need my SI friends to hold my hand for a bit while I catch my breath, process this news, and find a way to support her without suffocating her.
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9
Sending SI mojo for healing.
Think of the haters in your life as sandpaper; theyll scratch you up time and time again but in the end youre polished, smooth, and spotless..while they end up useless
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
I really have no advice, but I wanted to send you strength.
I'm sure someone with victim advocacy experience will be along to help soon.
"If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment."
- Carlos Santana
I think it's awesome that she shared the news of this devastating event with you. Sharing it seems to help kick off the healing process. I know when I finally told someone is when I was finally able to start letting go of the shame and the anger and the hurt and the guilt. I have a ways to go yet; those feelings fester when they're not dealt with.
Hugs to you and your daughter. just be there for her. hug her and hold her hand and do your level best to get her to understand - NOTHING, not a SINGLE PART of what happened, was her fault. She may blame herself for it and she is blameless. It takes that realization to also move forward with healing.
Prayers up for you and yours honey.

Divorce final 2/10/14.
Throw me to the wolves and I'll return leading the pack.
It's good that your DD is in treatment. I work for an agency that has rape advocacy and victim services. There are support groups for rape victims and families of rape victims.
Not sure where you're at but try calling 2-1-1 for this information in your area. Or your local Mental Health Association, or even hospital---some of them have services for rape victims.
I am holding you and DD in my thoughts and prayers.
"That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt."
Assure her that you're there for her, whenever she needs you. Let her know that you will help her wtih continued professional help and support her in anyway you can in her healing.
Pretty much just be there for her. Watch for signs of her bottoming out or unhealthy behaviors. Take cues from her about when she may need to talk or be left alone.
I know this hurts your mom heart .
I agree that the fact that she shared this with you is huge and a great step in her healing. Much love to all of you and please let us know how she's doing. We will all be thinking about her and you. ((neverdidithink))

I edit often for clarity.
I'm sure others here have been through this and can advise. One thing you could do is see a counselor who specializes in this yourself, to gain an understanding of what would be most helpful to your D. (edit: and of course, ask your D, too!)
I had a friend who had a terrible incident and was being held in a psych ward - before I went to visit her, I called a counselor to learn all I could about the best way to support her through something I had no experience with. It still wasn't adequate, but it gave me a starting point.
[This message edited by Lyonesse at 9:28 PM, January 5th (Sunday)]
I'm so sorry.
Thankfully she is getting help with this through therapy, could confide in you and take the time she needs now away from the pressures of school.
I am so sorry. I stuffed down all the emotions after each time I was raped. I'm glad she told you and is getting help. Please hug her for me and remind her that it wasn't her fault.
I am sooooo sorry. I have 3 daughters, it has always been a great fear. I agree with others. Find out from professionals how you can support her healing. Watch for her going sideways.
I think it is awesome that she told you. I think it is probably her way of asking for your help.
((((NDIT and DD))))

Just an FYI to help for others.
Yes, the Rape Hotline will be able to give you advice on how to help or to find resources for you to help the victim.
"Oh, why do my actions have consequences?" ~ Homer Simpson
"She knew my one weakness: That I'm weak!" ~ Homer Simpson
I'm so sorry that this has happened, to her, and also to you. As parents, we too suffer when our children do (no matter their age).
Like others have said, if you can talk to someone at a rape crisis center they should be able to at least help give you some ideas about what might help and support DD.
Is she seeing a psychiatrist? I ask just because she might need medication along with any other type of therapy she is getting.
She made a good decision to take some time off from school, whether it turns out to be for a semester or longer - it is not easy to predict what her healing time line is going to be. Being treated by a qualified professional might help guide her through this trauma.
Sending lots and lots of hugs, strength and positive, healing thoughts to you all.
((((DD, ndit & family))))
She did not report the rape to the school and at this point will not name her attacker. I hope that changes in the future, but I'm more concerned with her mental health than outing the scumbag right now.
She has been in IC and seeing a psychatrist for meds. So far she hasn't found the right combo of meds, nor the right IC. Thank you for the suggestion to contact a rape crisis center for a referral. I was planning to call my IC this morning for some recommendations, but going straight to the area of expertise makes way more sense.
I hoping to find an SI-like forum for her as well. I think it would be trmendously helpful for her to be able to interact with others who are dealingwith the same issues. She did go to a couple of support group meetings IRL, but didn't find them helpful...
God, this is hard.
What a horrible thing to go through as a young woman. But hey there are some positives here. She shared with you what has happened, which will help you help her. She will start to heal now knowing that you all support her.
You also know now the issue behind the depression, and poor academic performance. While this is a horrible awful thing there are many people who have been victims of the same crime, and often do well in life, and become really strong women to overcome this.
She will heal, and you will help her. In the meantime just love her and let her know that nothing she did caused this, and that you are there judgment free.
((((and strength))))
Just... Never doubt her.
From Wikipedia:
The law is named for Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old Lehigh University freshman who was raped and murdered in her campus residence hall in 1986. The backlash against unreported crimes on numerous campuses across the country led to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. [2] The Clery Act, signed in 1990, was originally known as the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act.
We take this incredibly seriously at my Division I school. I'm so sorry this happened to your daughter.
She doesn't want to discuss the subject and said last night that she regrets telling me becuase I'm treating her differently. 24 hours earlier I learned that my daughter's depression is WAY more serious than she admitted to, that she struggled with suicidal thoughts as she was trying to get through last semester, and that she was raped last year. Yes, I may be a little more protective that I was last week...
[This message edited by neverdidithink at 11:56 AM, January 7th (Tuesday)]
However, I see why she wouldn't. Especially given how our culture still treats victims.
Would she go to a board like SI? There's one I've used that I find helpful, they would encourage IC too.
(((((NDT and DD)))))
I will be beside myself if my DD goes through something like that. Full on save, protect and attack mode.
I'm trying hard not to project, but it seems she'd rather rugsweep and that freaks me out.
That said, this is her walk and her journey and she is going to have to do it at her pace. Sometimes what looks like rug sweeping is processing time. Your daughter is vocalizing what happened, she is seeing a professional for help, she moved home to a safer (mentally at least) environment. Sounds to me like she has done A LOT! To deal with this.
I can only imagine how difficult this is for you. This is new info for you. It is not for her.
I would say that I think it sounds like you have a very strong daughter and I bet that acorn did not fall far from the tree.
That happened to one of my friends and after counseling she was able to lead a normal healthy life.
I hope your DD gets the right med combo down asap.
I think you can explain to her that you are acting out of love and you will be protective and maybe over the top right now. As a Mom, you want to try and help, to make things better for her. Then, as hard as it is, I think (and this just my opinion, you know your daughter) you have to back off and let her lead.

I did learn that she told her 25yo step-sister quite a while ago, which made me feel a little better. Of course, SD feels horribly guilty for not telling her dad and I. Lots of reassurance that she did the right thing and lots of appreciation that she was D's "safe place".
Thank you all again, it's so incredibly helpful for me to have a "safe place "as well.

If you're like me, you are always looking for a great up-front game that is flexible for any group size, easy to use and explain, and fun for everyone. Sometimes, games like that are hard to come by. So, we decided to create our own one evening, and Wacky Words was born.
Wacky Words is a crazy game focusing on the definitions of some of the English language's craziest words, like Gardyloo, Widdershins, Bumfuzzled, and Gubbins. In our group, we divided the students into teams, and gave them all a piece of paper and a marker. We then show the slide of the crazy words and they try to come up with what they think the definition actually is for that word. Once they have done their best to come up with definitions, you can go through the slides and show the definitions. In the end, the team with the most correct answers wins.
Variations include doing this as a one-on-one sort of up-front game, having sections of the room helping "their" participant. Or, you could even do it like Balderdash, where groups have to turn in their definition and gain points for every group that picks theirs.
You can purchase "Wacky Words" in the YouthMin Resources store HERE.

Magazine Tries to Milk Brittany Murphy's Deathby Free Britney at . Comments
Way to go, In Touch.
We've seen plenty of ridiculous tabloid covers in our day, and comparatively speaking, this one isn't as bad as many in terms of flat-out lies.
However, referencing Brittany Murphy's "final interview" as an exclusive when it wasn't and taking some quotes out of context? Nice work!
Brittany, who passed away of cardiac arrest on December 20, did in fact talk in an actual interview about what she wants in her "next life."
This is, however, an expression many people use, and was not meant to suggest she thought she'd be dying anytime soon. Come on guys.
HER LAST INTERVIEW: To a huge crowd of reporters. At a premiere. Chilling, indeed. The smile on her face was just a facade, masking her eerie "final words."
Also, in the interview, any references to anorexia, God and feeling incomplete are all in appropriate context - if the topics even come up in the first place.
Trying this hard to cash in a non-suspicious celebrity death? Pretty weak, In Touch. Stick to tall tales about Angelina Jolie's revenge pregnancy next time.
That, or take the opposite approach and flat-out suggest that Simon Monjack drugged Brittany. Some people would believe it, and you'd sell more copies!
THANK you for writing the exact same thing I thought about the "In my next Life" quote. Its a figure of speech, Einstein! I had the pleasant opportunity to meet her on a movie not long ago and she liked to talk,like to give compliments,and it sounded like something she'd say to some one as a compliment. That along with the general tackiness of the article,well I noticed it. I am sure there is abudant suffering,and IF there is enabling,or worse, it will hopfully come out.
While that is pretty shameless journalism, the only thing worse than that has gotta be the unreal enabling performed by those around these recently deceased celebs. Doctors with no ethics and friends and spouses who are bent on keeping their meal-ticket under their thumb are gambling with someone else's life. Whether they have clear motivation like Howard K. Stern trying to vicariously benefit from Anna's pursuit of an estate claim against the Marshall family (a claim that finally looks to be primed to yield a conclusion in the 9th circuit in favor of the Marshalls) or the motivation is puzzling like that of someone like Brittany Murphy's husband (if it comes out that he was involved in some sort of shady doings) there will continue to be enablers until judges start making examples out of these people. This article is troubling but I hope the larger issue is dealt with before the list of celebrity overdose obituaries grows any longer.
Oh Simon, what have you done.....!
and you people DON'T think he would rather kill her than have her leave him? do you people honestly think she was going to stick with that fat, ugly, disruptive man? she may have been no genius but she probably was no dummy either. the writing was on the wall for him.

The Executive Board is the member-elected leadership body of SPEEA, IFPTE Local 2001.
The board is comprised of the three elected officers and four regional vice presidents. Board members serve two-year terms. Union-wide elections are held annually, alternating between officer and regional vice president elections.
Executive Board members are responsible for setting and administering the annual budget and administering
the affairs of SPEEA according to the constitution, bylaws and
policies established by the membership and the union councils.

Brent McFarlane
Ryan Rule
Ryan Rule, a former Council Rep was elected to the Executive Board in 2008 and as SPEEA President in 2014.
Rule has good advice for members when it comes to SPEEA.
"Get involved! Whenever something doesn't make sense or you don't like the way things are going, find a way to fix it or a committee to join that can make decisions which will have an impact on your issue or concern," he said.
In Rule's case, his colleagues were interested in SPEEA but weren't up-to-date on the issues. "By becoming a Council Rep, I gained exposure to what's going on in the union and was better able to provide useful information to the members with whom I work on a daily basis."
His goals for SPEEA include getting more members involved, particularly newer employees, and keeping waste and excess to a minimum. "I want to make sure members get high value for their dues."
Since starting at Boeing in 2001, Rule has worked in many areas, including Phantom Works, Connexion by Boeing and Integrated Defense Systems. He's currently a design and analysis engineer at Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) Commercial Aviation Services.
Rule earned three Bachelor of Science degrees from Missouri University of Science and Technology in physics, applied mathematics and computer science. He holds two Master of Science degrees from the University of Washington in physics and computer science/engineering.
He was born and raised in California's central valley. For hobbies, Rule enjoys traveling and scuba diving. His family includes his wife, Carrie, SPEEA NW Council secretary, and her son, who attends Aviation High School. The couple also have two young daughters.
Bob Wilkerson
Bob Wilkerson, a SPEEA-IFPTE Local 2001 member since starting at Boeing in 1986, was elected Treasurer in March, 2006, and re-elected March, 2012 and March, 2014. He served as NW Council treasurer and chair from 2003 to 2006. Wilkerson is a Manufacturing Engineer working on the 737 program in Renton, Wash.
With a background in budget development and oversight, Wilkerson gravitated towards the treasurer position. Like some, he wasn't active in the union until just before the 40-day strike of 2000. Since then, Wilkerson served as an Area Rep, and Council Representative in addition to his Council officer positions.
He is a member of the Women's Advocacy Committee (WAC) and is the IFPTE delegate to the Coalition of Labor Union Women's National Executive Board. He was also a NW Ombudsman and held officer positions on the NW Governing Documents, Organizational Planning and Leadership Development & Training committees.
You might say Wilkerson has aerospace in his blood. Born at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., his father flew in a number of Boeing products during a 20-year career in the U.S. Air Force.
Growing up in Sedro Woolley, Wash., Wilkerson built plenty of airplane models. He decided early on he wanted to be an engineer. He obtained a bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering Technology and a master's in Engineering Technology from Central Washington University.
Wilkerson is no stranger to the labor movement. He belonged to a union during high school, when he worked at a restaurant. He also was a member of the International Association of Machinists (IAM) when he worked summers fabricating oil well equipment to pay for college.
He is married and has a daughter. His hobbies are reading, gardening, home brewing, traveling and getting away with family to their recreational cabin.
Jimmie Mathis
Jimmie Mathis joined SPEEA shortly after starting at The Boeing Company in 1978. He was first elected as a SPEEA Council officer more than 20 years ago and has been elected to almost every Council office.
Mathis wanted to get involved in SPEEA to help support members. He believes in the power of the union to help improve working conditions and protect workers in the bargaining units from unjust discipline and harassment.
At Boeing, Mathis is a bearing engineer supporting commercial programs and many non-commercial programs. As chairman of the SAE Bearing Standards Group (ACBG), he supports standard parts for commercial, industrial and defense applications. He mentors employees in Boeing and other groups.
Mathis has worked in aluminum alloy development, providing new alloys used on the 757 and 767, as well as upgrading and automating test laboratories. He has also been a principle lead engineer for IT and computing groups in addition to specifying bearing applications and developing new bearings and alloys.
He graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in metallurgical engineering and has a background in mining engineering.
Mathis also likes to be involved in SPEEA's legislative activities in Washington state and Washington D.C. His outside interests include aviation design and flying, as well as back-country recreation.
Earl Carter
MW Regional VP
Earl Carter knows the value of a union. "With SPEEA, we have an opportunity to create great careers and make Spirit and Boeing the best companies in the world. Without SPEEA, we can only accept what they'd like to give us."
Carter joined SPEEA in 2000, after working on the organizing drive for the Wichita Technical and Professional Unit (WTPU) at The Boeing Company. He's served as an Area Rep for SPEEA, a Council Rep and secretary of the WTPU Council.
Carter started at Boeing in 1980. He worked as a systems analyst, master scheduler, change board analyst, military operations system analyst, engineering labs manager and production development shop manager. He's now a business systems analyst at Spirit AeroSystems.
Born in Kansas City, Kansas, Carter grew up in Wichita. He went to Kansas State University and Friends University. He earned a BA in business management.
He wanted to become regional vice president because of what's at stake with negotiations. "With the contract opener for the two Spirit AeroSystems units, I wanted to be in a position to ensure that everything SPEEA can do to assist the negotiating teams will be done."
Carter likes to play guitar in his spare time, spend time in the garden and coach Little League football. He and his wife, Diane, have two children and a grandchild.
Joel Funfar
NW Regional VP
As a former chair of both the SPEEA and Northwest Councils, Joel Funfar brings a unique perspective to the Executive Board.
"From what I learned as a Council Rep and what I learned from others, I hope to help make the union stronger," he said.
Funfar, who joined SPEEA in 1991, started as an Area Rep, and then served as a co-site coordinator and picket captain at Plant II, Seattle, during the 40-day strike in 2000. He became a Council Rep for Plant II in 2000.
He served two terms as SPEEA Council Chair (2009 and 2011). He was also elected SPEEA Council secretary, Northwest Council chair and Northwest Council secretary.
Funfar, a lab tech in the EO&T engineering labs at Plant II, served on the Tech Negotiation Teams in 2008 and 2012. He's also been involved in many other committees, including chair of the Legislative and Public Affairs (L&PA) and Organizational Planning.
In addition, Funfar is a SPEEA IFPTE vice president, a delegate to the county and state labor councils and King County Airport Roundtable.
Funfar received the Stephen Pezzini Helping Other People Excel (HOPE) award in 2009 for his work both with SPEEA and the community, including Aviation High School.
Born in Rapid City, S.D., his family moved to the Northwest in 1968. He attended Green River Community College in Auburn, Wash., and lives in Enumclaw, Wash.
In his spare time, he enjoys music and car racing, as well as history – particularly labor and World War II.
Michael Hochberg
NW Regional VP
Mike Hochberg, a Northwest region vice president, didn't think he needed a union when he first started at The Boeing Company in 1987. "Then I learned a 'few' things," he said, after experiencing firsthand what a union can do.
First, SPEEA helped with an insurance snafu involving a medical emergency. In another case, he received a verbal job offer to transfer to Everett, but waiting for a written offer dragged on for months. "I finally called SPEEA." Within a week, he had the written offer. "I figured I better join after that."
He not only joined, he signed up as an Area Rep and then became a Council Rep in 1990.
Hochberg left Boeing for about eight years, and when he came back in 2005 to Kent, he ran for Council Rep. He was Northwest Council treasurer, prior to running for Executive Board.
He wanted to get more involved in SPEEA to help promote the cause of labor. "I wanted to give back."
At Boeing, he currently works as a software test engineer.
He graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with degrees in electrical and biomedical engineering. When he left Boeing, he worked as a contractor for Panasonic, Real Networks and Microsoft, as well as other places.
Hochberg grew up in New Jersey, before moving to the Puget Sound to work at Boeing. His hobbies include baseball (both playing and watching), bowling and camping.

Virginia 2013: Statewide Races With National Implications
Virginia's off-year races are commonly seen as a barometer of the national electorate's mood. With two polarizing candidates at the top of the Democratic and Republican tickets, commonwealth voters have already been subject to a barrage of attack ads and mudslinging. Now the federal government shutdown is adding a new element of unpredictability to the races. We get the latest from the Old Dominion ahead of the election.

Best Printer I have ever had
consumer review by wiggie | Apr 09,2013
As above and I have had quite a few. Every printer I have had has made a noise and I don't think this is any worse. One of my other printer was wireless and 99 percent of the time I could not print to it. Ths one has never let me down and a bonus I can print from anywhere in the world. Also had on minor problem at first a quick call to support and sorted in no time at all so fi + Read More ve stars for support as well

Further Reading: "Death on the Path to Enlightenment: Inside the Rise of India Syndrome"
Further Reading is a new blog feature in which we take a deeper look at topics from stories featured on Longform. It is produced along with Pitt Writers.
Last week Longform picked a Details piece by Scott Carney on the sometimes-perilous journey of Westerners seeking spirituality in India. Carney tells the stories of several young people, including a 28-year-old named Jonathan Spollen, who have gone missing, lost their minds, or both:
Stories like Spollen's feel like Eastern versions of Into the Wild, the 1996 book about a young adventurer who died after trying to live off the land in Alaska: They're tales of willful idealists whose romantic notions of remote lands lead them to embark on quixotic journeys.
In case you missed Into the Wild, Christopher McCandless's story, here's Jon Krakauer original article for Outisde: "Death of an Innocent." And here's more reading on yogis, meditation, and, of course, the Beatles in India:
Fasting Fakir Flummoxes Physicians
Rajeev Khanna • BBC News • November 2003
The strange case of Prahlad Jani—a yogi who claims not to have eaten for years.
"I feel no need for food and water," says Mr Jani, who claims he was blessed by a goddess at the age of eight and has lived in caves ever since.
Chöd: An Advanced Type of Shamanism
Dharma Fellowship Member Library
There are many types of meditation to experience in India. Carney mentions "[a] practice known as Chöd [which] involves meditating over actual decaying corpses in a graveyard." Learn about this fascinating activity from the Dharma Fellowship:
In Chöd-practice, the yogi or yogini journeys into the night world—the dangerous regions of ghosts, spirits and the damned, to bless all souls lost for a time on the wheel of existence. The selflessness of the practitioner's compassion, his or her contact with spirits of the other-world, and the making of himself into a vehicle of healing, all tends to become a path for the hero to win the noetic Mind-Jewel of true awakening.
The Quiet Hell of Extreme Meditation
Michael Finkel • Men's Journal • August 2012
For a more lighthearted look at the agony and benefits of a silent meditation retreat, see this dad fight through back pain and "waterfall" thoughts:
Every group session begins with the same words from Goenka: "Start with a calm and clear mind." Then he goes on to give further advice. But I can't even get to step one. Everyone else in the room, it seems to me, is floating gleefully on a crystalline lake. I realize I can quit; I'm not being held here against my will. But there's a part of me that believes a breakthrough is imminent. I'm a bull-headed man. I know how to endure. I once ran 100 miles in a single day (in 23 hours and 48 minutes, to be precise). I'm absurdly competitive – I can even turn something as airy-fairy as a meditation course into a kind of sporting event. And if all these other people are still here, no way am I leaving. This isn't dangerous. I'm not climbing some 8,000-meter peak or crawling through a war zone. All I have to do is sit. Simplest thing in the world. So I soldier on.
But something happens to me. Something bad. It might be bearable to suppress my natural extroversion – to shut me up completely. Or you can corral my need to run or bike or swim or climb – to immobilize me completely. But the combination of the two is deadly. I have actually climbed an 8,000-meter peak; I have crawled through war zones. And let me tell you: Both of those are way easier than Vipassana. This coddled and calm environment generates in me a frightening rage. I begin to hate my fellow students. I hate the teachers. I hate the Dharma Servers. I hate Goenka. I hate the food and my bed and my cushion and my cell. I hate Vipassana. I hate myself.
The Medical Tourist Returns
Laura Moser • Slate • March 2006
Not all Westerners go looking for spiritual revival; some are medical tourists. Laura Moser hopes a yoga retreat in famous Rishikesh will heal her injured shoulder:
The streets of Rishikesh teem with earnest foreigners like Belinda, independently financed South Asia-lovers from France, Italy, Israel, Japan, and all corners of the British Commonwealth—just about everywhere except America, in fact. They sit with erect spines inside the town's pizzerias and rhapsodically compare medicinal baths in heavily accented English, the common tongue. The town's real activity takes place inside the ashrams and yoga centers that offer around-the-clock yoga instruction.
Meditation on the Man Who Saved the Beatles
Allan Kozinn • New York Times • February 2008
The Beatles find creative inspiration in India:
But whatever other powers transcendental meditation had, under its influence they wrote like demons. The main body of evidence is the White Album, a two-disc collection of 30 songs, more than twice the number on any previous Beatles album. And that doesn't count two songs — George Harrison's "Not Guilty" (which bears traces of bruised feelings over the maharishi incident) and "What's the New Mary Jane" — that were recorded during the White Album sessions but left unreleased until "Anthology 3," in 1996.

AIN 2013 Business Aviation Insurance
Soft market proves boon for buyers
There has hardly been a better time to be a buyer of business aircraft insurance, according to aviation insurance brokers, underwriters and industry consultants that AIN canvassed for this article. All signs definitely point to a buyer's market, with some customers almost able to name their own price. While rates are already low, they could descend even further over the next 12 months if the industry stays on its current course.

This actually happened yesterday.
My dresser is in my closet for space saving reasons. My closet isn't exactly a walk-in, it's more of a step-in-but-don't-get-excited. Still, I can fit in there and if not for all of my hoardo junk (we will revisit this at a later date) I could probably enjoy a comfortable book reading in there.
Yesterday, I stepped in momentarily to look through my drawer and Ju came crawling up with a gleeful smile on his face. A smile that seemed to say, "Let's play a fun new game with this interesting swinging object that is now within my reach and my new favorite toy."
As he began shutting the door, my thought process went something like this:
1. Oh, cute, he's discovered the door.
2. Now he thinks he can close the door.
3. Oh, he can close the door.
4. Okay, my kid just blocked me into the closet.
5. Wait, I can't open the door because he's standing up against it.
6. Ah shit.
7. Maybe I can slowly push it open.
8. What if he falls and cries and doesn't move out of the way??
9. Is it ethical to push my fallen, crying child out of the way with a door?
10. Now I have to pee!!
11. Maybe I can reach my hand through here and pull him out of the way.
12. JC can never know!
Eventually I was able to assist Ju in stepping backward far enough for me to reach out and pick him up and out of the way, thus obtaining my freedom. The entire time, this kid was laughing his head off, he thought it was the best game of peek-a-boo that had ever been had.
I shudder to think what this child will be capable of when he actually learns to walk.

The first trailer for the remake of George Romero's 1973 horror The Crazies is now online, and you can see it below.
Breck Eisner is the man behind the camera this time out, with Timothy Olyphant taking the lead as a small-town sheriff whose finds the locals going murderously nuts when a dangerous toxin leaks into the place.
And even as he and his wife (Radha Mitchell) try to survive, they discover that the military will do anything to contain the spread of the virus - even at the cost of the uninfected....
Take a look at the footage below and let us know your thoughts. Does it make you happy, or send you into a purist rage?

It is the stretched soul that makes music, and souls are stretched by the pull of opposites --opposite bents, tastes, yearnings, loyalties. Where there is no polarity --where energies flow smoothly in one direction --there will be much doing but no music.

Eric Hoffer (July 25, 1902 May 21, 1983) was an American social writer. He produced ten books and won the Presidential Medal of Freedom in February 1983 from Ronald Reagan. His first book, The True Believer, published in 1951, was widely recognized as a classic. This book, which he considered his best, established his reputation, and he remained a successful writer for most of his remaining years.

I was shocked that John Lannan was shown in the visitor's dugout getting all mad and throwing stuff around. The guy has been getting the shit kicked out of him for the last few years on one of the worst teams in baseball. Don't you think that he would be accustomed to the beatings? This is not an instance of a player pitching well against a team and unexpectedly being saddled with a loss. Maybe he was upset that the Nationals seemed to forget how to play defense this evening. One of the seven runs that Lannan allowed was earned. That is absolutely ridiculous. There are things that are said to be an acquired taste; scotch and cigars come to mind. Apparently losing is not one of those things.
I am positive that Roy Oswalt did not care that he was supported by a bunch of unearned runs. In his second start off the disabled list, Oswalt went seven innings and allowed three runs. He struck out five and looked like Roy Oswalt. It was encouraging to watch the Nationals try unsuccessfully to catch up to Roy's fastball. He was hurt on back to back doubles in the second inning, but overall he looked like he is really back from the back injury. If he can turn back into the fourth ace, everyone else is screwed.
Ryan Howard drove in four runs and he is inching closer to another 100 RBI season. He is now the league leader in runs batted in. Everyone in the line-up but Raul Ibanez (who did drive in two runs on a groundout and a SAC fly respectively) and Oswalt had at least one hit. The Phillies took advantage of some awful defense by the Nationals to run away with an 11-3 victory.
Tomorrow the Phillies go for another series win with Roy Halladay on the mound. Chien-Ming Wang goes for the Nationals.

The main problem that I have with the above claim, is that Soc Sec, while it might not be the most efficient program or the best way to provide for the elderly, has NEVER defrauded someone out of their payment when they came due. The fact that "new investors" are essentially paid with the money from "old investors" is irrelevant until such time as someone doesn't receive payments to which they are entitled.
In short, it doesn't exactly become a scheme to defraud until you ACTUALLY DEFRAUD someone.
We would be in much better shape now if we had never allowed the Federal Government to take the Social Security Surplus (upwards of 100 Billion some years) and spend it. And I don't believe the 'lock box' is a workable idea, either.
Each year, we should've simply rebated the previous year's surplus back to the people.
There. You'll almost never see a Liberal write something like that.
Now other than national defense and a system of courts to adjudicate disputes among the states and insure free trade among them, what is the Constitutional role of the federal government?
I don't see how you can look at the last few years and still make that claim with a straight face. Can you *imagine* what it would be like now if all the people currently collecting SS/Medicare had their witholdings in the market instead?
Nonetheless, as part of a comprehensive solution involving a rise in the retirement age, an increase in withholding just to close the deficit, and other innovations such as the incentive scheme i suggest below, I'd be willing to let people divert some portion of their SS withholdings (say 25%) into their 401K or IRA or some such thing.
What the h3ll business is it of yours to "let" me take care of myself? Look at Chile, for example, and try this:
You nanny state liberals are evil fascist thieves. Really. I don't apologize.
The fact is that people like me would not let people like you and your innocent dependents starve. We'd come up with money from someplace, and it'd be a bigger acute drain on the country than if you'd payed in to SSMedicare in the firstplace.
We move forward in politics & Governance via compromise (remember compromise, Mr/Ms TeaParty?). So go invest your 25%. Good luck.
The U.S. birth rate just hit a new low which has liberal media outlets like NPR pointing out that Medicare and Social Security are in trouble as a result. Why? Because the program isn't being paid for with money former workers put into the system, that's already been spent by the government, but by young people currently working.
The U.S. birth rate hit an all-time low last year, according to a report from the Pew Research Center — just 63 births per 1000 women of childbearing age.
This is a problem. Not just because...

I literally just realized this ten seconds ago.
Not the only reason, but one of them..
If that's the only reason, you really shouldn't have kids.
you did it epic-ly, too.
*one of the reasons :)
Well, it's not the "only reason" I want kids, but I will admit: I have practiced reading the Tales of Beedle the Bard...
