Tarec Saffiedine frustrated by layoff but ready to officially arrive in the UFC
DEC 30, 2013 7:00p ET
Almost a year ago, Tarec Saffiedine was on the outside looking in as Strikeforce got ready to shutter its doors and shuffle part of the roster over to the UFC. At the time, Saffiedine was fairly sure he wasn't among the fighters expected to make the move unless he won his welterweight title fight against incumbent champion Nate Marquardt.
Five rounds later, Saffiedine battered Marquardt for the better part of 25 minutes with a vicious attack of leg kicks that sealed the victory for him. When it was over Marquardt's lead leg was swollen about twice the size as the start of the fight and it looked like a blueberry pie exploded on his thigh from all the bruising.
Saffiedine may not have been on the UFC's short list of Strikeforce fighters coming to the Octagon but he decided to punch his own ticket with the win over Marquardt.
Shortly after the bout, Saffiedine was a hot prospect in the UFC's welterweight division. At the time he was the most talked about fighter at 170 pounds coming into the promotion from Strikeforce. He was immediately attached to a potential fight against Carlos Condit early in the year, but it's at that point that Saffiedine's year took a decided turn for the worse.
"I want to go into the UFC and make a big statement and show the fighters, the rest of the division, that I'm here to stay."
Injuries began to mount as Saffiedine's frustration grew. He had to turn down the Condit fight and then pull out of a bout against Robbie Lawler during the summer months. Those were two fights with the potential to put Saffiedine directly in the path of a UFC title shot -- something he's long dreamed about as a fighter.
Instead of sulking about opportunities missed, Saffiedine just used the time off to allow his body to heal up and get better in the gym. No amount of hurt feelings would get him the fights he wanted a year ago, so why sit around and complain about 'what could have been?'
"There's definitely a frustrating part during this last year with the injuries and everything," Saffiedine told The Great MMA Debate Podcast this week. "I kept my mind positive, I kept my mind focused. I didn't sit at home feeling sorry for myself and eating pizza all day and putting on 20 pounds and just being miserable. I didn't do that. I stayed focused, I stayed positive, and I believe I came back a better athlete, a better fighter, physically and mentally.
"I set goals for myself and until I reach those goals, I'm not going to let myself down. I'm not going to sit at home doing nothing. I had injuries, it's something that happens to every athlete at some part of their career. I just have to suck it up and until I reach those goals, I'm not going to stop."
Setbacks are part of fighting and just like his own injuries that prevented Saffiedine from capitalizing on a big win last year to springboard into the UFC, he was also subjected to a change in his upcoming debut after Jake Ellenberger was forced to pull out of their fight due to injury. So instead of facing a top ten welterweight with a chance to vault into the top five with a win, Saffiedine will face little known UFC welterweight Hyun Gyu Lim, who may not have much name recognition but at 6'2" fighting at 170 pounds with two knockouts thus far in the UFC, he's no slouch and definitely not a pushover.
"It was definitely hard not to fight Jake (Ellenberger)," Saffiedine said. "I was really looking forward to facing somebody like him, testing myself against somebody like him. He's a good fighter. Also and a respectful fighter, when we met he was a great guy. I was really looking forward to facing him. When I heard he got injured and I got Lim, I trained even harder. Because Lim is the type of guy, he has nothing to lose, he's dangerous and I cannot underestimate him. I cannot think about Jake. I have to win this fight, that's all I'm focused on."
The positivity that Saffiedine exudes is infectious because despite opponent changes and a year away from the sport, he still believes he has a chance to make a very big impact in the division with his first fight this weekend. With Georges St-Pierre on hiatus and a new champion about to be crowned in March, Saffiedine knows he's back on track to earn a UFC title shot in the next year and he's over the moon with excitement to finally prove he belongs among the best in the world.
"Everybody now in the top 10 or top 15 is one or two fights away from being a contender or even a shot at the title. Before when Georges had the title, we didn't know who really deserved the title (shot) but now everybody is up there with the title. So everybody's excited. I'm excited," Saffiedine said.
"I have to put on a good performance. Whether it's a win by KO, TKO or submission or it goes the distance, if it goes to decision it has to be an exciting fight. I have to win in a big fashion way. I have to for the fans to get to know me. I'm really excited to be the UFC. I'm the first Belgian coming into the UFC and I don't want to go in the UFC and say 'oh I went into the UFC and it was a good part of my career'. No, I want to go into the UFC and make a big statement and show the fighters, the rest of the division, that I'm here to stay."
Check out the rest of the interview with Saffiedine where he also reveals the fight he missed in 2013 that he would love to make up for next year. Also, we debate everything that went down at UFC 168 including the chances that Anderson Silva returns to fighting after his horrific leg injury and Ronda Rousey's choice to snub Miesha Tate's handshake after their bout on Saturday.

"WE have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it," then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., famously said of Obamacare. This seems more and more like an understatement as fresh facts dribble out about President Obama's national health care law.
Now that the election is out of the way, the Obama administration is able to reveal more about its regulatory plans for implementing that law. Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services released 373 pages of new Obamacare regs, and buried deep within is a 3.5 percent "user fee" — that is, tax — on premiums from health plans sold on Obamacare's soon-to-be-established federal exchanges. This tax comes above and beyond Obamacare's $100 billion excise tax on insurers.
This charge will be imposed on insurers in those states (at this point, perhaps as many as 27) that choose not to operate and fund their own exchanges. Wherever this tax is levied, its cost will be passed on directly to consumers. So far, Obamacare has succeeded in adding one extra layer of bureaucratic expense to the process of buying health insurance.
As the Cato Institute's Michael Cannon points out, the legality of this health insurance premium tax is debatable. Obamacare contains no provision authorizing the federal government to collect such a tax or fee for this purpose. In fact, in justifying the tax, the Department of Health and Human Services is relying on a provision in the Obamacare law on exchanges that begins, in all caps: "NO FEDERAL FUNDS FOR CONTINUED OPERATIONS." This tax appears to do the opposite, generating federal revenues and then spending them.

The Era of Augmented Cognition

Data-driven computing has given rise to cognitive systems such as IBM's Watson, which have the human-like ability to extract meaning from unstructured knowledge, but on a far grander scale. Still, "the objective of cognitive machines is not to think like a human," writes Guest Columnist Irving Wladawsky-Berger, but to work with the human brain to produce better results. "These cognitive systems are truly beginning to augment our human cognitive capabilities much as earlier machines have augmented our physical ones," he writes.

We aren't experimental enough, says the man who has had a timeless romance with hair, Jawed Habib
Jawed Habib, like an artist in the throes of an intense relationship, is consumed by his muse. "I have a timeless romance with hair," he says. It certainly is a long drawn affair — one that runs deep in his blood. "I am a third generation hairdresser," he says. "My grandfather and my father were hairdressers too," adding that Jawaharlal Nehru and Lord Mountbatten were among his grandfather's clients.
Following in their footsteps, Jawed went on to complete a course in London's Morris Master Class before throwing himself wholeheartedly into the art of hair care and styling.
"I have made it a scientific business. Just like you want a branded outfit, you want a branded hair-cut and Habib is a brand," he says, "It is a system driven company and I give direction to it. I don't do this alone though.
I have a 45-member-team of passionate, thorough professionals who know the need of this country. We want to become hair designers not hairdressers. And to become a designer, people should be well trained."
Running close to 400 institutions (salons and academies) in 21 states and five countries across the world, Brand Habib has certainly come into its own. "Indian hairdressing has moved away from just a haircut and it has now become a package — not just a good haircut, but also a good chemical and good hair products," he says. "We have revolutionized the industry."
Habib believes that lifestyle matters far more than products when it comes to hair-care. "You need to drink plenty of water and milk, eat nutritious food and be happy. When you smile, your hair smiles too," he quips, stating that keeping ones hair clean by shampooing everyday was an essential part of hair-care. "Pollution, moisture and body oil can really damage your hair." he says.
According to him, styling is an individual choice dependent on your age, where you stay and what you do, "When you are in school, you have to keep your hair tied up and aren't allowed to be fashionable.
When you come to college you are far more experimental. When you start working, you have to have a more serious look. In your thirties and forties, it changes again. Hair styles aren't face based, they are age based. Whatever the shape of your face, a good hairdresser will make you look good." Habib enjoys experimenting with short cuts and vibrant colours. "Colour adds to your personality," he says. "And a hair style is like a skirt — a long skirt is boring, a short skirt is charming," he says with a naughty smile.
Yet he rues that Indians, especially those in the South aren't experimental enough when it comes to their hair. "They are very conservative," he says. "For them hair care is only oil, having long hair, using herbal substances. The attitude is changing though, which is good;1.2 billion heads is certainly a huge number."

• MA-Sen: Hel-lo! The DSCC rather unexpectedly sent out an email on Friday afternoon with a statement from Dem Sen. John Kerry, saying he "supports" Rep. Ed Markey's decision to run to succeed him... which essentially meant the DSCC is doing the same thing. Kerry could have sent the press release to his own list (though perhaps he did that as well), and the DSCC doesn't typically act as a messenger for such announcement, so in this case, the medium really is the message. But lest there be any confusion about where their sympathies lie, the DS followed up with its own formal endorsement email soon after.
In any event, Kerry's don't-call-it-an-endorsement would alone have been quite the coup in a Democratic primary, but the fact that the DSCC is also getting on board means they're hoping to avoided a protracted nomination battle and would like to see everyone rally around Markey. And indeed, sandwiched between the initial Kerry email and the subsequent DSCC missive, Vicki Kennedy, the widow of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy who herself was mentioned as a possible candidate, said that she, too, would be getting behind Markey. You can practically hear the wagons rustling as they draw into circular formation.
But this all seems like good news to me: The DS must have positive polling data on Markey, a strong progressive, and it also means we're less likely to see someone awful like Rep. Stephen Lynch (who betrayed Democrats by voting against the Affordable Care Act) enter the race. Of course, if these moves are seen as "interference" by D.C. Democrats, it could provoke a backlash. But we went through something very much like this not long ago, when national Dems and progressive groups successfully propelled Elizabeth Warren's candidacy forward, despite opposition from the local establishment (who had nothing and no one better to offer).
And with a little luck, Scott Brown won't bother to run again. Hopefully these coordinated efforts are meant to give the appearance of strength and scare Brown off, rather than a reflection of any kind of worry that if Democrats don't unite immediatelyrightnow, we'd be in some sort of trouble. I'm choosing to be cautiously optimistic for the moment, and with a little more luck, Markey will succeed both in uniting all the various factions behind him and in running a strong campaign.
P.S. If Kerry is indeed confirmed as Secretary of State, and if Markey does secure the Democratic nomination and wins the ensuing special election, there would be another special election for his 5th District congressional seat. Interest and speculation in that race will also be high, no doubt, and as always, we'll be following both the Senate and House side of things closely.
P.P.S. No surprise: Dem Rep. Niki Tsongas also says she won't run in the special.
• TX-Sen: Serious insult to serious injury: Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who got pwned by Ted Cruz in his bid for Texas's Republican Senate nomination earlier this year, may have gotten robbed of anywhere from $600,000 to over $1 million by a longtime consultant, Kenneth "Buddy" Barfield. Dewhurst's campaign only discovered the missing money this month and has turned over its findings to the Travis County (Austin) District Attorney. Seeing as he lost the runoff 57-43 amid enormous outside spending, it's doubtful even another mil would have made any difference for Mountain Dew. But man, it sure seems like this kind of story is becoming really common: ex-Rep. Chris Shays of Connecticut, Rep. Frank LoBiondo of New Jersey, and a ton of California Democrats who were victims of rogue treasurer Kindee Durkee have all seen their campaign warchests looted. Is it really so hard to put in safeguards?
• AR-Gov: Here's another good example of a technique we've seen used successfully several times over the past few years. Say you're a grassroots activist who'd like to see a particular person run for office. You aren't a reporter, though, and don't really have any way of reaching out to that potential candidate to express your interest—and find out what they're thinking. So you use the web—these days, social media in particular, either Facebook or Twitter—to start a "draft" movement, you put a little effort into getting noticed, and sure enough, an actual reporter with the right contacts starts asking the right questions to the right people and gets some answers.
In this case, the answer obviously wasn't what the folks trying to draft University of Arkansas Chancellor David Gearhart were hoping to hear: He says he will not run for governor or any other office. Interestingly, Gearhart says he's neither a Republican nor a Democrat, and indeed, whoever's behind the "draft" Twitter account hasn't seemed to express a preference either way. Now they're hoping to convince Gearhart to change his mind, but even if they aren't successful in doing so, they at least got his attention.
• NJ-Gov: As I figured would be the case in the previous Digest, outgoing EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, who just announced her resignation, says she won't run for governor in 2013. That's too bad, as she might have made a compelling candidate for Democrats, but seeing as she's only 50, perhaps she'll seek public office somewhere else down the line.
• IL-02: Huh. That's a very quick fall from grace: On Saturday, state Sen. Donne Trotter dropped his bid for ex-Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr.'s vacant House seat. Trotter began the race as something of a frontrunner—or at the very least, with a bunch of establishment support. But following an arrest at O'Hare airport for trying to carry a handgun and bullets through security, Trotter was unable to secure the formal endorsement of the Cook County Democratic Party, something that had looked like a sure bet before the gun incident. Trotter's departure now makes an already crowded, unsettled contest even more wide open.
Other Races:
• HI-LG: After a moment of initial hesitancy, state Senate President Shan Tsutsui, a Democrat, has agreed to become Hawaii's new lieutenant governor. The position became open when the prior LG, Brian Schatz, was sworn in to the U.S. Senate on Thursday to replace the late Sen. Dan Inouye. The Senate will now have to pick a new president, though there won't be a special election to fill Tsutsui's seat. Rather (see last graf here), it'll get filled in the same manner Inouye's Senate seat was filled: Local Democrats will send a list of three names to Gov. Neil Abercrombie. Given how much bad blood the last go-round engendered, I'm totally thinking, "oy vey!"—but hopefully this replacement process will involve less controversy.
Grab Bag:
• Counties: You've probably all seen those Sporcle quizzes before: How many U.S. senators can you name, how many nations of the world, and so forth. Well, here's one that might just crush your soul: How many counties in the United States can you come up with off the top of your head? Be warned: There are 3,143 counties (and county equivalents) in total! The only good news is that if you type in a name that covers more than one county (like, say, "Orange"), they'll all get filled in at once. That's still a ton to go through, though. Dare I ask people to post their scores in comments?

NEW YORK -- So, Derek Jeter is asked, what do you think of a Red Sox rookie, Xander Bogaerts, wearing your No. 2 in your honor?
"Yeah, I heard that," Jeter said. "Curious to see what Red Sox fans think about that."
He laughed.
His visitor was curious, now that Jeter has declared his intention to retire at the end of the season, about how Sox fans will react to his first visit to Boston, nine days from now.
"Don't know," he said, heading out of the Yankees' clubhouse. "I haven't looked that far ahead. We'll see."
Derek Jeter was 21 when he became the Yankees' every-day shortstop in 1996. The Yankees' catcher on Opening Day that year was Joe Girardi, now the team's manager.
At 21, Xander Bogaerts is the youngest Opening Day shortstop the Red Sox have had in 100 years. He was still four months away from being born when Jeter signed his first professional contract with the Yankees in 1992. Bogaerts turned 21 on Oct. 1, just days before playing in his first World Series. He was a year younger than Jeter was in his first Series.
The players, separated by nearly two decades, are very similar in build. Jeter is listed at 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds. Bogaerts is 6-3 and listed at 185 but looks bigger. (Bogaerts says he's 6-2, 205.)
"Growing up, he was my favorite player," said Bogaerts. "I mean, he's just a good person, on and off the field. He came up big-time in big situations for the Yankees, all those World Series.
"What do I appreciate about him most? Everything. He's never been in trouble for anything, just a clean man. You don't hear too much about him off the field."
No, Bogaerts said, he hasn't sought out Jeter to talk and was unsure whether he'd do so here, as the Sox and Yankees wind up their four-game series Sunday night at Yankee Stadium.
"We'll see what happens," he said. "But as of now, no."
Jeter, a New Yorker seemingly for life but originally a native of Kalamazoo, Mich., is asked whether young players seem timid about approaching him.
"Timid?" he repeated.
Like Bogaerts, for example, who sounded hesitant about approaching his idol.
"I've talked to him," Jeter said. "I mean, briefly. Can't have an extended conversation, we're in the middle of a game, but I've talked to him."
He knows Bogaerts more by reputation as a top prospect than from what he has actually witnessed.
"I've heard that," Jeter said about the high expectations Bogaerts carries, "but I've not seen him play much. I wasn't here most of last year, so I saw him just a couple of times. You hear things, but I haven't really seen him."
This is Bogaerts' second visit to Yankee Stadium. His first came on Sept. 7, when he played shortstop in a Saturday afternoon game. Jeter was playing shortstop for the Yankees.
"He hit his first homer," said Mike Napoli, who was sitting alongside Bogaerts, chatting with a visitor. "A bomb over the bullpen."
"I got it good," Bogaerts said. "It's my only one."
"Your only one?" Napoli said, surprised.
"So far, yeah."

New Guide for Families Coping With the Death of a Loved One, Written by Those Who Have Walked This Road Before
New book helps parents help kids deal with the grieving process
Silverman and Kelly both have the wisdom and experience to compassionately discuss these sensitive issues.
Silverman has spent decades researching and interviewing hundreds of bereaved families at the Massachusetts General Hospital's Children's Room. She has received many awards for her work and is recognized internationally as a leader in the field of bereavement. The co-principal investigator of the pioneering Harvard Child Bereavement Study, her books include Widow to Widow: How the Bereaved Help Each Other and Never Too Young to Know: Death in Children's Lives.
Kelly is a writer and television news producer, and the mother of two sons. Her husband, the writer/columnist/editor
A PARENT'S GUIDE to RAISING GRIEVING CHILDREN offers parents wise guidance on virtually every aspect of childhood loss. Besides advice, though, parents will also find solace – and perhaps a measure of hope from this book. Drawing on groundbreaking research into what bereaved children are really experiencing, and quoting real conversations with parents and children who have walked that road, the book will allow readers to see what others have learned from mourning and surviving the death of a loved one.
As Silverman and Kelly explain, "We aren't going to tell you how you should be feeling, what you should be doing, or how to behave. We know that no two people grieve in the same way or deal with their grief in the same way. We will give you advice, though, and try to point you in directions that might help."
A PARENT'S GUIDE to RAISING GRIEVING CHILDREN has been praised by Dr.

In a rare and well-planned case of gold pilfering, two employees of a multi-brand jewellery retail store were caught by the Amboli police after they allegedly kept stealing small quantities of jewellery from the store over a period of six months. While one of the accused, Ismail Marshad (30) worked as the manager of the outlet, the other accused, Manish Rawat (27), was a salesman. The duo allegedly managed to steal a total of Rs47 lakh worth of jewellery. The incident happened at Gitanjali Group of Jeweller's outlet, Maya Jewels, in Infiniti Mall, Andheri West.
The daring theft came to light after the group management conducted an internal audit two weeks ago. API Kishore Patil of Amboli police said, "In the internal audit, there was a massive mismatch of gold and it was learned than Rs47 lakh worth jewellery was missing. The Vice President of the Group, Rajesh Kumar Shah, approached us with a complaint."
According to the police, the CCTV in the store did not capture anything. That apart, the jewellery was stolen from the inside shelves and the tags and barcode were intact on the boxes, because of which nobody in the store found anything amiss or scanned the boxes. "This led the police and the management to believe that it could be the work of someone in the store, so we started questioning the staff. Meanwhile, Manish left the job and Ismail was on leave. We nabbed them from their homes and questioned them. They confessed to the crime, and were arrested last week," added Patil.
Both employees worked at the store over the last two years and were friends. The duo allegedly planned this theft six months ago. Ismail kept a tab of the cash counter, deposits and had access to all the jewellery cases and the two were also aware of the CCTV positioning. After the closure of business hours, the duo used to stay longer, under the pretext of closing the cash counter and used to pilfer gold ornaments like bangles, necklaces almost daily. This way, they managed to steal 1.5 kgs of gold in six months.
"The duo pawned half of the jewellery at a store in Bandra and put some in the bank. They also gifted the ornaments to friends and family," added Patil. While Murshad lived in Santacruz West, Rawat lived in Bhayander. Both were arrested under IPC sections 381 (theft by clerk or servant of property in possession of master) and 34 (common intention).

|Knicks return to the right formula in strong start
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 19 November 2012 12:46
By BRIAN MAHONEY
AP Basketball Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - This is how the New York Knicks used to play, before the franchise tumbled into mediocrity and misery.
The superstar wants to be more than just a scorer. The role players are committed to being good defenders and better teammates. The old guys play the game with an old-school mentality. The coach holds everyone accountable for stopping his man, no matter who he is.
Yes, these Knicks are doing everything it takes to be a contender.
Coach Mike Woodson says the Knicks are ``playing for something.'' They're doing it with hard-nosed defense and unselfish play, which was once a winning formula in New York but one the Knicks got away from during their dismal decade.
The Knicks are 7-1, their best start since winning their first seven games in 1993-94.

Pune: Thinking of taking a dip in the pool to cool off this summer heat? Think twice before you do so as dermatologists, who are seeing an average of three to four cases per week of people contracting skin ailments due to excessive chlorination and unclean pool waters, have a word of caution for you.
Dermatologists cautioned that swimming pool water has high chlorine content that causes skin and hair problems. Apart from that, doctors say that water in public pools is often contaminated and is not replaced very often, especially during summers due to the high usage.
Erandwane-based dermatologist Dr Ajay Deshpande said he is regularly getting cases since April. "There are high chances of getting infected by skin to skin contact in public pools besides skin problems due to chlorinated water. The public pools often lack in hygiene and sanitation which also leads to fungal infections and bad cases of acne breakouts," he said.
Dermatologist Dr Dhanashree Bhide said that since two months, patients are coming to her complaining irritation of skin and eyes, dryness, itching of skin and other skin infections due to excessive chlorine mixed in the swimming pool water. "To avoid these infections, one should apply a good quality waterproof moisturiser or sunscreen before and after swimming. This avoids the absorption of chlorine in the skin," she suggested.
As public pools are outdoors and the whole body gets exposed to sun while swimming, sunburn is very commonly observed in people who swim regularly. "The water reflects UV- A rays, which result in skin tanning and sunburn not only to people inside the pool but also affects the ones around the pool," says Dr Dilip Shah, a Camp-based dermatologist. He further said,"Sunburn may be a little redness, itching and in severe cases skin exfoliation."
To prevent tanning and sunburn, dermatologist Dr Archana Avhad advised, "There are regular cases of skin tan due to swimming in summers. The only solution to prevent tanning and sun burn is using a sunscreen of minimum 30 SPF and avoiding swimming at peak afternoon hours." According to her, if there are fungal infections, rashes and boils which stay for more than a day, one must immediately go to a doctor.
Precautions before using public swimming pools:
- Check for the hygiene and sanitation of the pool
- Check for the regularity of water filtration of the pool
- Use a sunscreen, preferably which is water and sweat resistance and has sun protection of minimum 30 SPF before getting into the pool
- Educate kids not to urinate or spit in the pool
- After a swim, make sure you take a shower with fresh water
- Use a good shampoo and conditioner for the hair and scalp
- Dry yourself and apply moisturiser all over your body

Back in November, after the presidential election but just prior to Thanksgiving, my wife and I were in Chicago for a huge academic conference. In connection with that conference, we took a couple of architectural tours of the city that ostensibly focused on religious buildings but, in one case, seemed to concentrate to a surprising degree on sites associated with one Barack Obama, a long-time resident of the area. (Perhaps, given the attitude of some Americans toward Mr. Obama, the distinction between religious sites and sites connected with our president is not particularly stark or significant.) Anyway, as we drove through the Hyde Park area adjacent to the University of Chicago, our overtly Obamaphile guide gushed that this was the most diverse neighborhood in Chicago and that Mitt Romney had received virtually no votes from it. My wife, bless her, asked him exactly how that constituted "diversity." He floundered, having clearly just encountered a wholly new thought, so I decided that I had better help him out a bit: "You mean, I said, that it's ethnically diverse but ideologically monochrome." "Yeah," he replied, a bit uncertainly. "That's what I meant."
"Diversity" is one of the foremost governing values in American higher education today, and yet it doesn't seem to be applied very often to ideas — the one area where, one might imagine, academics would see it as most important.
Studies abound that illustrate the prevailing ideological slant of American academia. One, for instance, shows that, among California colleges, the University of California at Berkeley has an adjusted Democrat:Republican ratio of almost 9:1. (Pepperdine University, a rather conservative Christian-related school, is an outlier, with a ratio of nearly 1:1.) Academic field makes a tremendous difference, with the humanities averaging a 10:1 D:R ratio while business schools average 1.3:1, and with departments ranging from sociology (44:1) to management (1.5:1). Across all departments and institutions, however, the the D:R ratio is 5:1 while, in the "soft" liberal-arts fields, the ratio is higher than 8:1. And these findings are generally in line with comparable previous studies (e.g., with this one and with this fascinating but less formal one).
Which seems relevant to the Crystal Dixon case that I've mentioned here and here.
For a while, at least, one gay rights group tried to block Crystal Dixon's new employment, after her firing from the University of Toledo, by government agencies (that is, by tax-funded public agencies) in Michigan. Not because she had done anything at all there, but solely because of her opinions.
This is what worries me: That public, government, tax-supported entities take it upon themselves (e.g., at the University of Toledo), or are asked to take it upon themselves (e.g., in Michigan), to enforce one particular opinion on a disputed social/moral/political issue as a requirement for being employed by them.
It doesn't much matter to me what the issue is, so long as it's one upon which decent people disagree. (I'm not calling for the indiscriminate hiring of Holocaust deniers.)
Taxpayers/voters haven't reached consensus on issues relating to gay rights, same-sex marriage, and the like. And it's not the place, therefore, of public officials (including administrators at public, tax-supported schools) to impose one. (And remember back a few months ago, when the major of Chicago and some elected officials in New York were explaining that Chick-fil-a shouldn't be permitted to do business in their areas because of the views of its owners on gay marriage?) I don't argue that Crystal Dixon shouldn't have been fired because her position is popular; I argue that it's a position well within the rights of decent people to hold and to express publicly without losing their jobs in government, without fear of having their businesses barred by zoning commissions and regulators.
In fact, if anything, Ms. Dixon's views on gay rights are massively unpopular in American academia, and, as such, they are precisely the kinds of views that the First Amendment was enacted to protect.
Many years ago, while I was a graduate student at UCLA, a professor of medicine there wrote a very gentle letter to the editor of the student newspaper explaining why, while he wouldn't personally dream of interfering with the right of others to choose otherwise, he himself could not ethically justify performing abortions. And then, for the next several weeks, letter after letter after editorial demanded that he be fired, explaining that people such as this deserve no place at a decent hospital or university. But we're not talking neo-Nazis and defenders of pedophilia here, and they do, in fact, deserve such a place.
For more on the case, see here. And for the hypocrisy of academia that it reflects, see this.

Hynix Ram upgrade and RAID for PowerMac G5?...
My friend just bought a new PowerMac G5 dual 2.0GHz. I had a stick of Hynix PC3200 DDR from my Mac Mini that we installed in the G5, but of course it didn't work since memory needs to be installed in pairs. I was wondering if there was a place (other than Apple) to buy the same ram, another 512mb dimm. Trying to help my friend out with a cheap solution. If its not neccesary for the ram to be matched, I can easily order something from Newegg or Fry's or where ever.
Also, when he bought the PowerMac, the guy at CompUSA told him that the 2.0GHz model was NOT capable of RAID. Isn't the RAID on the PowerMac handled through Software? We want to make sure on this before he orders another hard drive.
Thanks in advance for the help.
|Oct 1, 2005, 04:51 PM
People have had luck with similar spec memory working in their PowerMac G5...
If you want to do RAID, get two high quality drives -- since the drives that usually ship with the machines sacrifice quality for quietness and cost.
Otherwise the RAID setting for these cheap drives (unless Apple upgraded quality lately) would best be mirroring.
|Oct 1, 2005, 05:08 PM
So if I get one 512mb dimm thats spec'd similarly to the PC3200 that I pulled from my Mac Mini, will that work fine together, or should I buy two of the same ram and not use the 512mb from the Mini?
The drive that shipped with the PowerMac is a 160GB Maxtor Diamond Max 10. I have only used Seagate and WD drives, I have two 36GB Raptor drives in a RAID 0 config in my Windows rig. How do these Maxtor drives fair? My friend will be using the drives in a RAID 1 configuration anyway for the mirroring, but I was just wondering about the Maxtor drives in general. He wants to spend as little as possible since he shelled out more than he should on a new computer, so buying two new drives wouldn't be feasible.
Also, would raptor drives work in the PowerMac?

My wife, Laurel, and I had laid out an idiosyncratic European itinerary for our trip last fall: to London for theater, to Paris to scout Ernest Hemingway's long-ago haunts, to Friedrichshafen, Germany, for the Zeppelin Museum, and finally to Hamburg to sail home on the Queen Mary 2.
We had no question about how to connect these disparate map points — by rail, because for us one of the joys of traveling in Europe is that trains can take us almost anywhere. Besides that, we find train travel relaxing and just plain fun.
We pieced together an eight-train (and one boat) odyssey, a three-country journey that would be spread over nine days, feature leisurely stopovers and fine scenery and include three premier high-speed rail services: the Eurostar, the French TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) and the German ICE (InterCity Express).
It would be hard to find a more auspicious place to begin than London's gloriously Victorian St. Pancras station, built in 1868 and rebuilt in 2007 to house the Eurostar service though the Channel Tunnel to Paris and Brussels.
It was here, in this magnificent brick pile, that we had our first taste of European rail efficiency. Our seats on the Eurostar were in car nine, and there was the numeral, painted in blue and yellow on the platform, at the vestibule door: "Coach/Voiture 9."
At 12:25 p.m. — right on time — we began rolling on our two-hour, 22-minute journey to Paris' Gare du Nord at speeds up to 186 mph. All this was impressive, but our train's grimy exterior was not.
We were traveling in standard premier class, which struck us as an oxymoron, but, in fact, there is a more rarefied level of service: business premier, with three-course meals designed by Michelin-starred chef Raymond Blanc and dedicated lounges at the terminals.
Our lunch, which the car attendant brought to our table for two, was credible: turkey roulade with black-eyed peas and red peppers vinaigrette, red wine and chocolate-glazed carrot cake.
The traverse of the 31-mile-long Chunnel is a pitch-dark nonevent, but there was something pleasantly mind-bending about being in another country when we re-emerged.
As houses with orange-tiled roofs, churches, their spires exclamation points in villages, and farms passed in a blur, we remembered that Europe's high-speed trains are not the best for viewing scenery — but who would want to travel between London and Paris any other way?
After six days in Paris it was time to enjoy both the tortoise and the hare — the hare first.
At the Gare de l'Est, the TGV whisked us off to Karlsruhe, in southwest Germany, the first leg of a three-train journey that day to Friedrichshafen, a picturesque city on the shores of Lake Constance where we would spend two nights.
This double-deck train was trim and comfortable, its dark blue upholstery fresh, with Moderne lamps on each table. We were traveling international first class under the banner of Alleo, a joint venture of SNCF, the French national railway, and Deutsche Bahn, the German equivalent, appropriate because the train crossed their border.
I'd wondered why our seat reservations cost $43, $30 more than usual, until I looked carefully and read repas inclus, or meal included. This turned out to be a color-themed "meal box," odd but tasty. Our Menu Rouge, or Red Menu, featured a starter of red cabbage, chives and sliced cherry tomatoes; a main dish of lamb fillet with tomato sauce and a quiche with chorizo, goat cheese and sweet pepper; and a dessert of red berries and shortbread. The wine was rosé. We assumed other colors were featured on other days.
It was hard not to be mesmerized by the digital readout on our car's bulkhead, which I saw top out at 320 kilometers per hour (nearly 200 mph), with sustained running at 300-plus, which had us racing past speeding cars on the highway as if they were standing still.
We switched trains at Karlsruhe for the tortoise, which I liked even better. The Schwarzwald, or Black Forest train, would take us to Radolfzell over the corkscrewing Black Forest Railway, one of Germany's most scenic mountain routes. Our seats were in a traditional European six-passenger compartment, our only companion a middle-age backpacking Australian.
We were glued to the window throughout this 93-mile journey, where stretches of straight track were rare and there were tunnels by the dozen. The landscape was by turns bucolic, with grassy fields, and mysterious, with views through the dense, dark foliage as our train gained altitude and swung across viaducts.
We were sorry when the long tunnel into St. Georgen signaled the end of the mountain run. At Radolfzell, where we changed to our third train of the day, the local to Friedrichshafen, the platform was awash in young men in lederhosen and women in dirndls, well into the celebration of the next day's national holiday commemorating Germany's 1990 reunification.

Need to know: Unhappy bankersStrange jobsGoldman dress code
Australia's US$86 billion state pension fund will sell off its 222 million Australian dollar (US$228 million) of holdings in tobacco companies after considering the health problems caused by smoking.
The decision by the Future Fund also comes after the government recently introduced tough new plain-packaging laws for tobacco products. The Fund's move was widely expected after the Future Fund said in October it was reviewing its tobacco holdings.
This isn't the first time the fund has changed its investment allocation on ethical grounds. In 2011, it sold its holdings in 10 defense companies that manufactured munitions such as cluster bombs and land mines.
The Future Fund, Australia's quasi sovereign wealth manager, wants to buy more infrastructure assets but is finding a lot of its rivals do too.
"We like Australian infrastructure primarily because of its close fit with our mandate," said Nadine Lennie, a director at the Fund. "Unfortunately for us a lot of other investors like investing in Australian infrastructure so it is a competitive market."
In its quarterly outlook, the Future Fund said it was looking to invest in a pipeline of infrastructure assets both in Australia and offshore.
Past performance is no guarantee of future success.
At least that logic applies to the 77 billion Australian dollar (US$79 billion) Future Fund, which has learned the hard way as returns slumped to 2.1% over the financial year to June 30, well down from the 12.4% of growth achieved a year earlier.
"During the financial year investment markets were challenging as the situation in Europe and the US, combined with slowing growth in emerging markets, resulted in market corrections," said Mark Burgess, managing director of the fund in a statement.
The global sovereign wealth fund club has a new member: Western Australia.
Seeded by mining royalties, the iron-ore rich state says it will create a new "Future Fund" later this year that will total 4.7 billion Australian dollars (US$4.7 billion) by 2032 through investments in government bonds and cash, targeting a 5.2% annual return.
Australia's US$80 billion Future Fund could be tempted to sell in May and stay away.
After a rocky spin during the second half of 2011, the Fund returned 5.4% in the three months to end-March after global financial markets showed something of a recovery largely due to the European Central Bank's decision to pour liquidity into the financial system.
That action has been credited with stemming a deep slide in equity markets and restoring some confidence to the battered euro zone.
CP2′s sale of 7.9% of toll road owner-operator Transurban this week for 631.3 million Australian dollars (US$669 million) was supported by Australia's Future Fund and RARE Infrastructure.
In substantial notices lodged Thursday, Future Fund, a quasi-sovereign wealth fund said it has a stake of 6.78% while RARE Infrastructure said it lifted its stake to 8.17% from 5.03%.
Business guru David Gonski has long been known as a safe pair of hands in troubled times among Australia's business community.
But his own appointment as the new chairman of Australia's 73 billion Australian dollar (US$77 billion) sovereign wealth fund has raised questions about the fund's political independence.
ASX Group chairman David Gonski will replace outgoing David Murray as chairman of Australia's Future Fund, the country's quasi-sovereign wealth fund, Treasurer Wayne Swan said Tuesday.
Mr. Gonski — who is also the chairman of Investec Bank (Australia), Coca-Cola Amatil and Ingeus, and a director of Singapore Airlines — will assume his role on the Future Fund Board of Guardians on April 3, for a period of five years. He will also step down from the chairmanship and the Board at the ASX Group by June 30, while his Singapore Airlines directorship ends in July.
Western Australia state's plan to set up a form of sovereign wealth fund, or SWF, has caught the eye of bankers here but it could stir up a hornet's nest in Canberra.
The new fund could prove a boom for wealth managers and bankers hungry for new opportunities, but it's early days yet. Among those in line will be existing managers to the Australian government-backed Future Fund including local and global institutions across equities, private equity, property, infrastructure and timberland, debt, alternatives, cash and overlay strategies.
If you're a banker reading this, then booking a flight to Europe could be a good idea.
Assets in Europe are on the list of investments liked by advisers to Australia's Future Fund, the country's quasi-sovereign wealth fund with 73.1 billion Australian dollars (US$78.5 billion) under management, according to its chairman David Murray.

DDC Issue 2
Development Design & Construction Summary development around asia and design news
D|D&C | 13 be doing now, and this list is just a few suggesons based on our many years of experience working with many clients suffering many disasters…. 1. Get organised 2. Make a plan 3. Find the resources for the plan 4. Implement the plan 5. Review the outcomes and repeat Geng Organised Find someone with a wide knowledge within your business, with a cool head, who will not panic and that people will listen to. Ideally this is not the boss as they will need to con- nue running the rest of the business, and will need to just oversee the management of the recovery. The key is to make one person responsible for the recovery, and give that person the authority to act Making a Plan • Assessing the damage, thinking through the various short and long term aims. • Consider moving producon to other facilies • Break it down into me periods (hours, days or weeks subject to your circumstances) and then into different parts of your business (Factory fl oor, Accounng, Customer Service, IT etc). This can be done simply and quickly at a high level, then get into some detail (or allocate oth- ers to provide the detail). • Set aims or objecves within each me period to work towards. Find the Resources • Involves obtaining the various elements need- ed to complete the plan • You may need to add to your normal work force, for instance some specialist skills such as clean- ing some of the key equipment or moving and re-commissioning machines • Planning early will mean you can book these people now. • A key resource may be to fi nd an recovery plan- ning advisor/assistant such as Coverage(www. coverage.co.th) if you or your team have never been through disasters Implemenng the Plan Communicate to various staff, customers, suppliers or other stakeholders. Keeping them informed will get their buy-in and assistance, as well as knowing when to expect you fi rst batch of output. Your plan may have included seng up a tempo- rary site, so you may need an addional plan to shut down this temporary site, and re-establish the original one. What is Business Connuity Planning? Business Connuity Management (BCM) or Planning (BCP) is a process whereby a company makes plans to deal with any damaging events that may strike. The aim of these plans is to minimize damage to the business by these events, and then speed up the process of recovery to be able to quickly re- turn to "business as usual". The types of events can include man-made (e.g. IT failures, bombs or terrorist aacks) or natural (e.g. fl oods, earth- quakes, pandemics, typhoons). Andrew Durieux is a, Director and the Principle Consultant for BCP at Cover- age. For more than 10 years Andrew has focused on BCP, Crisis Management and Risk Management, providing these services on 4 Connents and for a wide variety of clients which range from small Thai operaons to US Stock Mar- ket listed companies operang across many countries. It is never too late to start your recovery plan, and the sooner the beer. The posive side of this is that you could win new customers and the ongoing trust of your exisng custom- ers and staff for many years to come by acng quickly. for more informaon contact hp://www.coverage.co.th/ +66 (0) 2261 8485 special feature

Old Dog-new Tricks
I am 70 years old and have a head of silver hair. I got tired of being invisible and decided to try to perk myself up with some purple hair. I used manic-panic on the top of my head, being careful not to get it on clothes,etc. I really like the way it brings out the color of my whole face, which can get washed out as we age. I use a brush and have gotten to be quite an expert.I have kept it away from my scalp and skin.(After all there are chemicals involved.) The impermanence is a benefit as I can plan just when I want the extra attention. Many people (old and young, men and women) have complimented me. Of course, the one's thinking "there's no fool like an old fool" are silent...not one negative comment. I am now known my great-nieces as "purple Joan". Try it. It's fun!!!!

Manic Panic Rocks
I wouldn't use anything else. Nothing else stays in like Manic Panic, or gives me such vivid and gorgeous color. It's a breeze to use, and I can save whatever's left over for my next use, because there are no harmful chemicals in it that would cause it to explode in my cabinet like other hair colors!

Something To Keep In Mind
When dying your hair especially with reds I've also noticed they do fade really fast no matter what red for which brand, even for level 3 it still washes out a lot. Though to keep healthy hair your actually not suppose to wash it every day. So that's a good way to keep the color in longer. I wash my hair every other day or every couple of days. Yes it's good to have clean hair but your hair also does need the oils that produce naturally. When it comes to dying hair also everyone's hair reacts differently to different brands of dye. I've used raw in the past and that brand is pretty excellent. I'm going to try manic panic for the first time. I'm pretty sure I'm going to do the vampire red, although I do like the rock n roll red.

Love It..
I have already dyed "Dark Auburn" hair, but it fades, VERY BAD, and I ended up having to dye it every couple of weeks. I used Manic Panic (Vampire Red) on top of it about a week ago, and Im still totally in love with it!!The tub looked like a murder scene after rinsing, so be careful not to stain. Because it is messy!! BUT the outcome is AWESOME! :)

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
This groundbreaking anthology provides the most comprehensive overview for understanding the fascinating relationship between religion and violence--historically, culturally, and in the contemporary world. Bringing together writings from scholarly and religious traditions, it is the first volume to unite primary sources--justifications for violence from religious texts, theologians, and activists--with invaluable essays by authoritative scholars.
The first half of the collection includes original source materials justifying violence from various religious perspectives: Hindu, Chinese, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, and Buddhist. Showing that religious violence is found in every tradition, these sources include ancient texts and scriptures along with thoughtful essays from theologians wrestling with such issues as military protection and pacifism. The collection also includes the writings of modern-day activists involved in suicide bombings, attacks on abortion clinics, and nerve gas assaults. The book's second half features well-known thinkers reflecting on why religion and violence are so intimately related and includes excerpts from early social theorists such as Durkheim, Marx, and Freud, as well as contemporary thinkers who view the issue of religious violence from literary, anthropological, postcolonial, and feminist perspectives. The editors' brief introductions to each essay provide important historical and conceptual contexts and relate the readings to one another. The diversity of selections and their accessible length make this volume ideal for both students and general readers.
