You may be right, Salt. My experience with religious people is limited to looking in from outside. The Christians I know seem pretty well adjusted and happy from that perspective, and I tend to take them at face value. Maybe it's all an elaborate facade. But don't you think, if pretenders were as common as you say, that sooner or later they'd sort of realize they were all pretending and give it up?
We're talking here about American religiosity, right?
People construct elaborate pretenses in order to pull off scams of various kinds. I did not mean to imply that they were all pretending "just for the fun of it", like six-year olds playing in a fort they built under the kitchen table by draping some blankets over the top.
Consider the phishing scam (no relation to the Jesus fish you see on automobiles). Consider the common grifter, who's just trying to make a buck. People do not pretend to believe in order to convince themselves, they do it for some sort of gain, but it may not be financial. The TV preacher is obviously scamming us, but the people who send him their hard-earned (and not abundant) money? What are they getting? Aren't they just pretending to be part of that glitzy guy's entourage? They're pretending to be "saved", and these folks are more like the six-year-olds under the kitchen table. I think they emerge from their pretenses periodically and experience some heavy-duty shit. That's about the time they get wasted and beat up their spouses. Then they pretend that their object of faith can absolve them.
The moderates, as I say, like pretending that they are all having such a good time because of Jesus' grace, and this saves some of them the trouble of figuring out what drives them so hard to have a good time. They pretend that this is what God has ordained for them. Pretend, pretend, pretend.
Some people pretend to believe in God when what they really believe is that they can determine the future, like the End-Timers and the Dominionists. Or the Quantum-bleeping-woo-woo types.
Speaking hypothetically, (hypothetically a person can find happiness through faith) I think your argument is sound. After all, by the time someone reaches the point where they're supposed to be in heaven, they'll never know they didn't actually get there. That's the difference between believing in heaven and believing there's a diamond buried in your backyard.
Yeah, but this has nothing to do with ethics, and has more to do with drug addiction. I think people should pay rational prices for their drugs, which is why tax exemption for churches should be eliminated.

Christopher Pittenger MD, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Psychiatry and in the Child Study Center and Assistant Professor of Psychology; Director, Yale OCD Research Clinic; Associate Director, Neuroscience Research Training Program
Biographical Info
Christopher Pittenger earned his MD and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia University, where his graduate work was done with Nobel Prize recipient Eric Kandel. He returned to Yale University - where had done his undergraduate studies - for residency and research training in psychiatry in 2003. He joined the faculty as an Assistant Professor in 2007 and was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor in 2013.
During his Ph.D. studies in basic neurobiology, he became fascinated by the brain's ability to go on autopilot -- to perform complex series of actions or thoughts, after sufficient rehearsal, with almost no conscious effort. Then, during his clinical training, he became more and more aware of how this process, when disrupted by disease, can lead to the maladaptive and disruptive automaticity seen in many neuropsychiatric disorders. His research, both with patients and in animal models, aims to elucidate the mechanisms of learned automatic behaviors and to better understand the consequences when they go awry, with the ultimate goal of developing new understandings and better treatments for a variety of neuropsychiatric conditions.
Dr. Pittenger's research and clinical work have been acknowledged by a number of prestigious awards, including grant funding from the National Institutes of Health, NARSAD, the Tourette Syndrome of America, and the Doris Duke Charitable Trust, and awards from the National Institute of Mental Health, the Society for Neuroscience, the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, the American Psychiatric Association, and the American College of Psychiatrists. He is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the International OCD Foundation and an active member of the Society for Neuroscience, the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, the Society of Biological Psychiatry, the American Neurological Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and other groups.

In just over two weeks I will be standing on the frozen Arctic ocean, preparing to ski to the North Pole. I'll be wearing four layers of fleece and a special hat that someone knitted for me. In my pockets I'll carry some almond chocolate, an iPod, and a declaration of hope for future generations.
Like most of the 16-person team, I have absolutely zero Arctic experience. None. Zilch. In fact, my outdoors experience is mostly limited to camping in the garden with my friend Barnaby when I was 7. So why on earth is Greenpeace helping me and a bunch of inexperienced kids ski to the top of the world? Well, here's the short story.
We're going to the North Pole to declare it protected on behalf of all life on earth. Once we arrive, we'll make a hole in the ice and plant a flag for the future on the seabed. Attached to the flag will be a glass pod containing the names of nearly 2.7 million Arctic Defenders who joined us at savethearctic.org.
We hope to start a new conversation about the Arctic that involves every person on earth. Right now the only real discussions going on are about how to carve up the oil, gas and fish that are uncovered as the ice melts.
In other words, if you put your hand up and say "um, excuse me, but isn't it a bit stupid to see melting sea ice as an opportunity to drill for more oil?" you're laughed at, called naive, and sent to the corner until you behave yourself.
We think there's a better way. We're calling on those in power to work together to protect the Arctic and fight climate change with unity, cooperation and a spirit of peace. We're starting by asking President Obama to ban offshore drilling in Alaska, but we need to broaden this conversation out.
Alongside polar guides, camera experts and technical wizards, I'll be joined on this expedition by four amazing young people who all have stories to tell about the Arctic, about climate change and about hope.
Renny is from the Seychelles. His island nation could disappear completely due to rising sea levels, but you wouldn't tell from talking to him. When we trained for this expedition in Norway he laughed continuously, even as he fell out of his sleeping bag.
Kiera lives in Denendeh in the North West of Canada. She is a powerful activist, singer and defender of indigenous rights. She's also great fun to be around and is bringing a drum.
Josefina is a member of the Sami People in Sweden, one of the oldest Indigenous Peoples in Europe who have relied on the reindeer for hundreds of years. She is also making a special hat for the expedition.
Ezra is a hugely talented young actor from New York. He's seen the impacts of a climate charged 'superstorm' in his hometown, and is attending Zumba classes to get ready to do something about it.
It's going to be cold, it's going to be difficult, and we have no idea what to expect. You can send us messages and check in on our progress here, and we'll reply to as many as we can before our chocolate runs out. Wish us luck.

Hi team Aurora! I would like to take the opportunity to say how brave I think the 4 of you are!' I'm writing a story about Climate Change and 2 teenagers crossing the Arctic as their initiation/rite of passage. I have never been in such cold conditions or environment, so most comes out of my imagination and some research. I'll be thinking of you and will definitely keep checking in about how you are doing. Stay warm and nice to each other. Love Pino. Thank you warriors, for putting among the other 3.000.000 also my name on the Arctic Seabed.

Get over yourselves.
And yes she is.

The whole thing was supposed to be an over-dramatization of Twihards, even the comment about KStew. It wasn't supposed to be taken seriously. I'm a Twihard and found it hilarious.ReplyDelete
Hey Anon 9:04 I didn't know you knew Kristen Stewart personally and that you know what she's like? Oh yeah, ya don't, so shut it.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 25, 2010 at 9:41 PM
anon 9:29 i totally agree! i was dying when i watched this intro! I LOVE GLEE!! and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TWILIGHT! it's just a joke guys!! don't take everything so seriously! that's why they poke fun at twilight so much, because they know their fans will react like you did!!ReplyDelete

Hey Gina 9:40. Take a pill, okay. Last time I checked, you had no idea who I was or who I've met. I'm entitled to my own opinion just like everyone else. So get off your fucking high horse and shut it yourself.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 25, 2010 at 11:22 PM
it's not the video (which is kind of funny but not that much), it's you, people, who are hilarious.ReplyDelete
lol irl
the KStew joke was a bit lame, though. they could have come up with something better than that.
- AnonymousMay 26, 2010 at 8:59 AM
she said, "My mom thinks Kristen Stewart SEEMS like a bitch" not "she thinks she's a bitch." There's a difference. Anyway, I thought poking fun at the whole Twilight craze was really cool. Twihards need to have a sense of humor about themselves otherwise they're as crazy as the one portrayed in the clip!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 26, 2010 at 2:04 PM
Wow. I'm amazed at the some of peoples' lack of sense of humor. I thought it was funny. And FYI, I love Kristen, but I thought that line was pretty funny. The girl said her mother THINKS Kristen SEEMS like bitch. If she said, Kristen IS a bitch, then that would have been cheap.ReplyDelete
Bottom line: lighten up people!
- AnonymousMay 26, 2010 at 8:07 PM
Exactly. It's people who freak out every time Twilight or the actors/actresses are made fun of that make the rest of the world hate Twilight fans. It's because a lot of us who openly profess our fandom are obnoxious, mouth-breathing, screaming nerds who act like rabid, yapping dogs every time an outsider *dare* make a joke about our precious fandom.ReplyDelete
So heel, rabid fans! Learn to have a sense of humor. It's just Twilight...It's not life.

I have watched a bunch of videos with Sam speaking, but haven't been able to read any of his books because I'm only 16 and my family is Catholic and I have not told them of my atheism. What I have gathered from the videos is Sam talks mainly about the morality aspect of religion and I think this goes along well with what he talks about, so here it goes.
Most religions, particularly christianity, islam, and judaism, claim their morals come from God and that Man could not have come up with morals by themselves. Those three relgions particularly claim the other relgions are made up by man. Most relgions all have about the same morals, so their claim is false. If those other relgions are made up by man, and have the same morals, then Christians, Jews, and Muslims can't argue that morals have to come from a divine being. They got themselves backed into a corner. They cannot make both claims.
Relgion's morality origin issue

RICHMOND - A bill that would use revenue from casinos to pay for transportation projects has died in the state Senate.
Sen. Louise Lucas (D-18th D.) proposed the bill that would allow Hampton Roads residents to vote on having casinos. She arguesit's the best solution to mitigate tolls at the Downtown and Midtown tunnels next year.
This is the second bill shot down in the General Assembly that would help pay for transportation projects, namely the Midtown Tunnel construction, during this session.
Some local drivers say they're frustrated with the lack of progress in the General Assembly.
'I don't know what else can be done if they keep shooting down ideas,' said Norfolk resident Carol Ballance. 'It's almost like we don't have a choice.'
Lucas says she plans to introduce a similar bill in the Senate next week that would involve river boat gambling instead of land-locked casinos.

Development and design
Andrew Francis originally recorded voice work for Braeburn in Over a Barrel, but Michael Daingerfield was recast as Braeburn for the final cut.[3]Braeburn resembles "Teddie Safari", and his cutie mark resembles that of Applejack in the 2011 McDonald's My Little Pony Happy Meal toys. His different cutie mark and lack of hat in Leap of Faith and, sometimes, in Equestria Games give him a coincidental resemblance to MandoPony.[4]
Depiction in the series
Season oneBraeburn is introduced in the episode Over a Barrel, making his first appearance when he greets Applejack and her friends at Appleloosa's train station.
- "Hey there. Welcome to AAAAAAA-pple-LOO-sa!'"
- — Braeburn, greeting Applejack and friends
Applejack attempts to tell him that the buffalo have kidnapped Spike and Bloomberg, but he is very enthusiastic about his new home town and insists on showing them the sights. After showing them around Appleloosa and its apple orchards, he finally hears about the heist.
Braeburn explains the conflict between the settlers and the buffalo: the Appleloosans' apple trees were planted on the buffaloes' stampeding grounds. The settler ponies believe they should be able to keep the apple trees because they need them to survive. The buffalo think they should be moved because they've stampeded on the land for years as a sacred tradition.
Braeburn later meets up with Little Strongheart and appears to be willing to compromise with the buffalo, but Applejack insists on arguing the settlers' case, making them unable to reach an agreement. He watches Pinkie Pie's performance with the Sheriff, but does not participate in the battle later on.
Season three
In the episode Apple Family Reunion, Braeburn attends the Apple family reunion at Sweet Apple Acres. He first appears when he and Half Baked Apple pull a horse-drawn carriage (with Apple Strudel riding on it) towards the farm. He makes multiple cameo appearances for the remainder of the episode, including one where he walks by with a plate of uncooked apple fritters. Later in the episode, when Granny Smith reminds Applejack that she needs to give the family members time to enjoy each other's company, Braeburn says "Uh-huh" in a deep voice.
Season four
Braeburn makes a slight cameo in Pinkie Pride in the beginning during the Appleloosa party Cheese Sandwich threw for them. He makes another cameo in Leap of Faith, without his hat and with a guitar cutie mark. In Equestria Games, he appears in the stadium and, looking as in Leap of Faith, outside the stadium.
During Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1, Discord captures Braeburn and some other ponies in Appleloosa so Lord Tirek can steal their Earth pony magic. He appears again in Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2 seeing his and the other Earth ponies' magic returned to them.
Season five
He appears running in Bloom & Gloom.
Braeburn also appears in Appleoosa's Most Wanted where he watches over the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
Other depictions
IDW comics
Braeburn appears on Friends Forever Issue #9 page 2.
My Little Pony mobile game description
Applejack's cousin from Appleloosa loves to show visitors around his hometown!
The Elements of Harmony guidebook
If you're visiting Appleloosa, you're likely to be welcomed by BRAEBURN.
- "Cousin Applejack, mind yer manners, you have yet ta introduce me to your compadres! Shame on you!"
- — To Applejack in Over a Barrel
- "Them buffalo, they want us settler ponies to take every single tree you see here off this land. They sure as hay don't want any new ones added in."
- — Over a Barrel

Has your favorite TV show been cancelled or will it be back for the 2012–2013 TV season? If your favorite series is on the list below, you have our condolences.
This list encompasses shows that have ended or have been cancelled and won't be back for the 2012-13 season. It covers those that have gotten the ax roughly between September 1, 2011 and August 31, 2012. In some cases, the last episodes of shows aired months earlier but the network didn't get around to canceling the series until later. If you don't see what you're looking for, try the 2010–2011 listings, the 2009–2010 listings, or maybe you've gotten lucky!
This list used to include Breaking Bad but, since the last half of season five won't air until 2012-13 we're putting it on the 2012-13 list.
Because there have been so many cancellations, we've split this list up into three pages. This is the first. You can also check out page two and page three.
Most recent additions: The Buried Life, Dog Whisperer, How to Rock, and Teen Mom.
Now, let's take a moment to bow our heads and remember these fallen TV series… Read more…

from the 2013 Extending Your Brand to Employees Conference
28 October, 2013 | (01 hr)
Sign In to access this Webcast
To drive real engagement and emotional connections to your organization you need to create meaningful and relevant information experiences systematically and consistently.

Successful communicators create strong links between an organization's mission and purpose and an employee's active role in it.
Audience: Marketing, brand, communications and human resource professionals who are responsible for ensuring that employees receive the right messages and tools for your organization to prosper.

I've used "kinda" as a word basically meaning "kind of" just run together. I wouldn't use it formally, but I noticed that Microsoft Word's spellchecker says that it isn't a word. I searched some and it seems that I'm not the only one who uses it, but it doesn't seem to be too popular. So is it an actual word? How accepted is it?
As you said, it means "kind of". It's very informal and you won't find it in dictionaries. In formal contexts, you can use "rather" with the same meaning, e.g.:
"kind of" is in the Merriam-Webster dictionary (see below). "Kinda" is not.
The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) has 1650 incidences of kinda:
It is used overwhelmingly in fiction, and the few examples in newspapers and academic texts are almost exclusively in quotations of spoken English.
So, as the other answers have said, kinda is a pretty informal word, not used in formal texts except in quotations. I personally would only use the word in very informal situations. Its 1650 incidences in COCA are comparable to other adverbs, such as besides (1720), tight (1642), and regardless (1607). As to whether or not it is an "actual" word, I think this is pretty clear evidence that it is. As for its acceptability, it is listed in some dictionaries, such as the Random House, but not in the notoriously permissive Merriam-Webster.
Wiktionary contains such words.
The entry for kinda (
The NOAD reports that kinda is an informal contraction of kind of; it was first used in the early 20th century, and it was originally an American English alternation.
Kind of is an informal phrase for rather.

Health Interview Survey, 1963 (ICPSR 28381)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Health and Human Services. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. National Center for Health Statistics
The purpose of the Health Interview Survey is to obtain information about the amount and distribution of illness, its effects in terms of disability and chronic impairments, and the kinds of health services people receive. There are six types of records in this year's survey, each in a separate data file. The variables in the Household file (Part 1) include type of living quarters, size of family, number of families in the household, presence of a telephone, number of unrelated individuals, and region. The Family file (Part 2) includes information on family size, sex, race, education, health status of family members, and total health expenses for the family. The Person file (Part 3) includes information on sex, age, race, marital status, Hispanic origin, education, veteran status, family income, family size, major activities, health status, activity limits, employment status, and industry and occupation. These variables are found in the Condition and Hospital Episode files as well. The Person file also supplies data on height, weight, bed days, doctor visits, hospital stays, years at residence, and region variables. The Condition file (Part 4) contains information for each reported health condition, with specifics on injury and accident reports. The Hospital Episode file (Part 5) provides information on medical conditions, hospital episodes, type of service, type of hospital ownership, date of admission and discharge, number of nights in hospital, and operations performed. The Health Expenditure file (Part 6) includes medical and health related expenses, such as hospital bills, medicine costs, dental bills, doctor bills, as well as insurance coverage and costs.

StayNTouch Inc., a developer of next-generation cloud-based solutions for hotels, today announced closed $1.6 million in Seed financing. Concur (Nasdaq: CNQR), the leading provider of integrated travel and expense management solutions, led the round through the Concur Perfect Trip Fund. Participating in the round is Acceleprise, the preeminent accelerator community for enterprise technologists.
StayNTouch plans to use the new capital to accelerate product development and expand sales operations. Concur Executive Vice President of Supplier Management and Advertising, Michael Koetting, will join the company's board of directors.
"We have an opportunity today to dramatically improve the way hotels operate and connect with their guests via a cloud-based mobile-optimized computing model managing all touch points between hotel staff and guests" said StayNTouch CEO/Founder Jos Schaap. "This revolutionary approach will not only improve the hotel guest experience, but can also drive higher margins for hotels through significantly improved business processes."
EVP Sales/Founder Tim Kinsella added "We are thrilled to join Concur's ecosystem of game-changing travel companies. The company's knowledge of traveler needs and its drive to make travel more connected and enjoyable are a great fit with StayNTouch's mission."
StayNTouch is aimed at rethinking the entire interaction between the hotel and their guests through a cloud-based platform that manages all on-property touch points between hotel staff and guests. The platform dramatically simplifies all business processes for the hotel staff and requires a fraction of the training required by today's legacy solutions. The company's first product is the StayNTouch Mobile App Platform allowing any hotel or group to extend white-labeled, hotel branded apps to their guest's smart phone. StayNTouch provides solutions that brilliantly connect guest to hotels, enabling guests with the ability to check-in/out, order hotel services, communicate to hotel staff and more via their smart-phone from anywhere anytime. The result is dramatically increased guest engagement and a more nimble and effective hotel staff.
"Concur is committed to driving the innovation agenda for our industry, and that requires providing bright, emerging companies with the funding they need to deliver world-class solutions," said John Torrey, Executive Vice President, Corporate Strategy of Concur. "StayNTouch shares Concur's spirit of creativity and entrepreneurship. We believe their solutions have the ability to transform the interaction between hotels and their guests, bringing the industry one step closer to making the Perfect Trip a reality."

TomTom for iPhone App Now Features Multitasking and Latest Maps
Jun 23 2010
Concord, MA, June 21, 2010 – TomTom, the world's leading provider of location and navigation solutions, announces that the latest version of the TomTom App for iPhone can be purchased on the App Store starting today. The TomTom App for iPhone version 1.4 is compatible with iOS 4 and, among many new features, now includes multitasking functionality* that allows users to receive turn-by-turn directions while their iPhone is running other Applications.
With version 1.4, TomTom has integrated several situation-specific multitasking capabilities to the App to ensure that users can continue to receive the best routing directions from their TomTom App even while they take advantage of other iPhone Applications:
- Seamless Navigation while Calling** – Users can now make and answer calls while navigating with the help of visual turn-by-turn instructions. With this feature, users see visual instructions even when they are on a call, so they never have to choose between making or taking a call and receiving continuous directions to their destination.
- Background Navigation Instructions*– Users can see other Apps on the screen while still receiving spoken turn-by-turn instructions from the TomTom App, while it operates in the background.
The latest version of the TomTom App for iPhone version 1.4 includes additional advanced features to enhance the navigation experience:
- New, Updated Maps – The TomTom App comes ready to navigate with TomTom's latest release of the industry's most-accurate and most-up-to-date maps. Because an average of 15% of road information changes every year, TomTom has continued to update the App with its latest maps to ensure users have the confidence of knowing that the directions they receive are the most accurate and efficient. Maps come pre-loaded with the App, so no data plan, mobile signal or roaming charges are required to browse the map or navigate to a destination.
- Route Sharing – Drivers can now send details of their current location, destination, and route to their contacts, via email. This feature provides an easy way to keep friends and family up to date on where a driver is, and where they are headed.
- Departure Reminder - Drivers can now receive departure reminders when they plan upcoming trips and add them to their calendar, so they will be prompted by their iPhone when it's time to get on the road.
- Eco-friendly Routing – Drivers can save money and reduce impact on the environment by driving with these more fuel-efficient routes. By using its advanced routing technology and the driving data of millions of TomTom users, the TomTom App can now provide a route option with a lower environmental impact.
- Car Symbols – Drivers can now personalize the car symbol on the driving screen by choosing the car icon, symbol and color that best meets their style.
"TomTom continues to deliver innovative solutions that enable users to reach their destinations while driving more efficiently and more safely," said Tom Murray, senior vice president of market development for TomTom Inc. "We're pleased to introduce the latest version of TomTom App for iPhone upon the release of iOS 4. Now iPhone users can benefit from TomTom's industry-leading navigation and, with its new multitasking functionality*, can also take advantage of other great iPhone features while they continue to receive uninterrupted guidance from the TomTom App."
TomTom Traffic
With TomTom Traffic, TomTom App users receive real-time traffic updates and incident reports on their routes. As soon as any delay is found, users are notified and can be automatically re-routed to an alternate, faster route. TomTom Traffic for iPhone users is available via in-App purchase for an additional $19.99 for 12 months of service.
Availability and Price
The TomTom App for iPhone is available at the App Store. Continental and regional versions of the TomTom App for iPhone for iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch users are available today at http://www.tomtom.com/tomtom-app.

4-0! 8th seed! Huge!
Big injuries this sim tho... Raptors lose Hill for 39 and Knicks lose Yao for 14.
4-0! 8th seed! Huge!
Big injuries this sim tho... Raptors lose Hill for 39 and Knicks lose Yao for 14.
22 wins in a row...completed sweep of the sixers...0.5 game out of #1 seed...good sim
22 games in a row? Jesus man, good job.
Congrats quail! I've been watching your team slowly creep back in the playoff race. Looks like the Hamilton trade really paid off and sped up your turnaround.
3-2, 2 games over .500 and currently a 7th seed. My offense is on fire of late and should give me a chance in any playoff series. Though I'll probably get eliminated in round 1 depending on who I get matched up with.
2-2 meh losing Amare hurt I got crushed by the Bucks this time, but somehow I pulled off a win over the kings without Yao and Amare
Welp, I finally won a game again. Shooting for the 7 seed at this point. Sorry nolahornet.
Also, I will be offering up the kings pick in exchange for taking Eric snows contracts message me if interested.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
22 in a row is insane. What's even crazier is doing it without your starting SG! Good work.... I don't know sitting at 8th seed.. thought I'd face the 6ers but I might be wrong!
Nolahornets23: thanks man! I really got lucky with Charlie Ward stepping in and Grant and Hamilton stepping up. Wallace has been playing really well too.
Just realized Yao and Amare are done for the year, my seasons done
I went on a tear once I put Marshall in the starting lineup and it looked like I would make the playoffs, most of the games I lost in the 2nd half either Payton or Amare were injured
If anyone is able to post a new DC thread please do, I get the box every time.
When do you want the sim to be? Today or tomorrow? I can try to make it
this league is way too star heavy, how are the Wizards any good, Kobe, Baker and then a bunch of players who wouldn't even crack my rotation. Webber is ridiculous, a team with Duncan and nobody has the same record as me.
Why are memphis and seattle not the best teams in the league?

Undefeated MMA fighter Kaue Mena (7-0) remains in a Brazilian hospital after an altercation that involved Bellator fighter Maiquel Falcao (31-6 MMA, 3-1 BFC) turned violent.
Falcao's wife, Danielle, wrote on Facebook that Mena's condition is improving after surgery, though "his condition remains very grave." She asked friends and loved ones for their prayers.
"Great news," she wrote in her native Portuguese. "Our brother Kaue has shown improvements. We are following his recovery. Glory be to God. We will continue praying in earnest."
