Objective: Although aided by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test, early detection of cervical cancer is still a challenge. Hypermethylation of the paired boxed gene 1 (PAX1) was recently reported as a characteristic of cervical cancer. This study designed a quantitative measure of PAX1 methylation and compared its efficacy to the currently available Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) HPV test in detection of cervical cancer.
Methods: Using real-time quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction, we measured the percentage of PAX1 methylation in cervical scrapings obtained from a hospital-based cohort of women with cervical neoplasia of different severities and compared the efficacy of diagnosis of cervical cancer to that of the HC2 HPV test.
Results: From 73 cervical scrapings, with diagnoses of normal (n = 17), cervical intraepithelial neoplasm 1 (CIN1; n = 10), CIN2 (n = 18), CIN3 (n = 14), and invasive cancer (n = 14), the percentage of PAX1 methylation was determined. The percent of methylated reference of invasive cancer (mean [SE], 56.7 [7.1]) was significantly higher than CIN3 (6.5 [2.3]) and the other milder lesions (1.0 [0.3]; P < 0.0001). At a cutoff percent of methylated reference value of 4.5, PAX1 methylation was found in 100% of invasive cancer tissue as compared with 0% of normal tissue, 10% of CIN1, 11% of CIN2, and 43% of CIN3 (P < 0.0001). As a comparison, the HC2 HPV test result was positive in 5.9% of normal tissue, 70% of CIN1, 55.6% of CIN2, 71.4% of CIN3, and 100% of invasive cancer. In addition to cancer tissue, methylation of PAX1 was also found in normal tissue adjacent to the cancer lesion (9/11, 82%) but much less in the remote normal tissues (2/5, 40%), indicating a field methylation.
Conclusions: In this hospital-based study, quantitative measurement of PAX1 hypermethylation in cervical scrapings is highly sensitive and is more specific than HC2 in detection of cervical cancer.

STONE MOUNTAIN - A Friday night motor vehicle crash in Stone Mountain resulted in the deaths of a man and a woman, and another crash in Stone Mountain about two hours later resulted in two injuries.Nicholas Thompson, 23, and Aaron Collins, 30, both of Gwinnett County, were killed in the crash that occurred around 10:55 p.m. Friday on Pounds Road, said Cpl. Darren Moloney, spokesman for the Gwinnett County Police Department. Thompson, who was driving a 2000 Volkswagen, ran off the road and struck a tree while attempting to drive along a curve, Moloney said. Thompson and Collins were pronounced dead at the scene, Moloney said. Thompson was wearing his seat belt, but Collins, Thompson's female passenger, was not. "Investigators believe alcohol may have been a contributing factor in this fatality," Moloney wrote in a press release. At around 1 a.m. Saturday, a man and woman were seriously injured in a similar single-vehicle crash. Moloney said Ronnie Faint Jr., 35, and Cynthia Hetherington, 49, both of Gwinnett County, were injured when Faint ran a 2004 Ford Expedition off the road and hit a tree while trying to drive along a curve. The crash occurred near intersection of Rockbridge and Brownlee Roads, Moloney said. Faint was sent to Atlanta Medical Center, and Hetherington was sent to Gwinnett Medical Center, both in serious condition. Neither of the two was wearing their seat belt, but both are expected to recover, Moloney said. Investigators suspect alcohol was a contributing factor, Moloney said. No further information about either crash was available at press time Saturday night.

It looks like the nightmares of New Zealand rugby fans may be coming true with Daniel Carter in doubt for the remainder of the World Cup.
Carter was earlier today named as All Blacks captain after Richie McCaw withdrew with a reoccurrence of his niggling foot injury.
But just hours later it appears a groin injury has put the first five-eighths' participation in doubt.
Carter is at risk of missing the rest of the tournament after he went down in agony during kicking practice at today's captain's run ahead of the test against Canada tomorrow.
Colin Slade will now start in the number 10 jersey, with hooker Andrew Hore to captain the All Blacks for the first time.
Andy Ellis comes onto the reserves bench in the number 20 jersey, with Piri Weepu to cover first–five eighth, in jersey number 21.
Carter will be further assessed this evening and an update will be given tomorrow.

A fantastic school! The teachers and staff are completely dedicated to creating the best experience for each individual student. I wish there were more schools like SBMS all over the world!
Santa Barbara Montessori School is a private middle school in Goleta. The principal of Santa Barbara Montessori School is Jim Fitzpatrick, whose e-mail is email@example.com. 127 students go to Santa Barbara Montessori School and identify primarily as White, non-Hispanic; Asian/Pacific Islander; and Hispanic. The ratio of students to teachers at Santa Barbara Montessori School is 11:1. Santa Barbara Charter Middle School is one of the nearest middle schools.

A fantastic school! The teachers and staff are completely dedicated to creating the best experience for each individual student. I wish there were more schools like SBMS all over the world!
My grandchildren have been going to SBMS 10 years. They are in the Junior High program at the school (7th 8th 9th) and my husband and I honestly couldn't be happier. They are so academically prepared and have loved going to school every single day! The Montessori method is understood and utilized at this fine school. The teachers also place a strong emphasis on emotional development problem solving and community building. They work with children on social skills and working together in groups to create and develop their projects and follow up work to lessons. I so appreciate that they are in an environment where they feels safe heard and respected. The Montessori learning materials help the children truly understand concepts as they go from the concrete to the abstract . These materials and the teachers that introduce them with so much enthusiasm and excitement create truly extraordinary as well as beautiful classroom environments. I also like the multi-age aspect. There is so much inner mentoring going on in the classrooms. We are so happy with SBMS and would encourage anyone to check out this school for their child/ren. Submitted by a parent
If zero stars were an option I'd give it. There is definitely a favoritism in this school (as a reviewer stated below). Whoever gives the most money is it. The communication between teachers and parents is very minimal. Basically if it doesn't have to do with their fund raising efforts you don't hear much about how your child's progress. They do not welcome parents to help in the classrooms- as a matter of fact they discourage it. I think it says something if the "official of the school" feels the need to "lash out" on this website at the negative reviews. Sadly this school has given Montessori education a bad name.
Excellent school! Don't believe the naysayers. SBMS is the school you wished you went to growing up. Warm loving environment. Solid education based on proven methods. We have been at SBMS for 5 years and feel blessed to have found the school. We are a modest family and have found no favoritism to any children or families. We have always felt welcomed and part of the community. A fundamental part of SBMS is 'follow the child' to tailor the learning to the child's interests. But also 'a child needs freedom within limits' Therefore if a child's interests is in hitting other children SBMS might not be for you. SBMS has high expectations of your children and you should too. These expectations are not just grace courtesy but also actual learning. I saw some results from last years standardized tests For every level SBMS was 2-4 grade level ahead. Meaning SBMS 1st graders were testing as 3rd to 5th graders in other schools. And SBMS does not even focus the tests. You can ask the HOS for details. From my own experience my 5 yr old was reading and addition (with carry) in the 1000s. My 6 year old was loving his multiplication work. SBMS is a great school producing great results!
There are so many things to say about this school I don't know where to begin. I'll bring up a few topics I feel to be the most important for people to be aware of. Our previous Montessori school was very community oriented with dynamic teachers and a lot of family supportand warmth but we never really felt accepted at SBMS. It felt like there was favoritisim among the staff and children of the elite families. The favored children were never disciplned while children who "weren't choosing work" had to sit in chairs all morning and stare into the corner. In this day and age? Really? It was never even considered that maybe the "work" just wasn't that interesting. This was quite contrary to our previous experience where we were encouraged to appreciate our child's personality and interests whatever they may be. While certanly charming to look at and lovely SBMS seems really behind the times to us as far as actual education. If you do tour this school ask a lot of questions and weigh the answers carefully. Assuming all Montessori schools to be similar in discipline and education style (as well as education level of teachers) we were shocked to find out how untrue this is.
The true measure of a school is in the people it produces. At the end of the school year during the "flying up" ceremony each and every graduate from SBMS's Erdkinder (7th-8th grade) class gives a speech. It's a joyful day and a sad day -- a day I've seen each year since my daughter was 4. Every single speech was inspiring and each young man and young woman was remarkable. I can't quantify my measurement or make a comparison with other schools based on it -- but for me a dad seeing the results with my own eyes has been invaluable. At the end of this school year I will watch my daughter give her speech. It will be joyful capping a remarkable decade of her growth and learning. And it will be sad. Santa Barbara Montessori does not offer a 9th grade class.
Our experience at SBMS began 6 years ago and we could not be happier. The experience and opportunity that our children have on a daily basis are extraordinary. The education is like no other. To see what my children are capable of at 8 and 5 years old is remarkable! Most importantly it has been so gratifying to witness the confident caring people that our daughter and son have become - we owe this in large part to their experience at SBMS. Thank you Jim for giving our children this gift!
Our children are receiving a truly remarkable education at Santa Barbara Montessori perhaps just as importantly they come home from school every day happy and confident. They are growing as individuals and receiving one of life's best lessons that learning is fun it's interesting and it is its own reward.
We have been at SBMS for 4 years now and could not imagine our child any place else. Our daughter loves to learn loves to go to school loves her teachers simply loves everything about it. All the staff are qualified extremely passionate caring and committed. We see what our daughter is doing who she is becoming and we have SBMS to thank for so much of that. The education your child will receive is like no other in town. And trust me we did our research. It you are curious at all about trying out a non-traditional approach to education this is a school worth looking into. Both my husband and I wish we were given this opportunity as children.
When we first enrolled our daughter she was 22 months old. The school told me not to be surprised if she didn't want to go into the classroom the first day. I dropped her off and she said over her shoulder bye mom. I scratched my head the teachers said wait 2 weeks and she may balk at going to school. It is over 4 years later and she asks to go there on Saturdays. It is a wonderful loving school it is too bad that people had a negative experience just don't let someone else's experience mar your own. Take a tour it will work for you or it won't. We love it and are happy there.
Finding the right educational environment for your child is one of the biggest and often most stressful decisions a parent will make. You owe it to your children to tour this school. The large classrooms are filled with light warmth and beautiful learning materials. The children are engaged in purposeful hands-on learning experiences and treat each other with respect and courtesy. The teachers are intelligent dedicated individuals who truly care about their students. The atmosphere on this campus is always calm respectful and inviting. Santa Barbara Montessori is a gift not just for your children but for your entire family.
There seems to be some confusion circulating on this site about SBMS--this a somewhat difficult form of communication to moderate or even consider for accuracy or information. Despite its shortcomings there is in this "greatschools" site this opportunity for a school official to respond to 'reviews' of the school. So after reading one of these negative reviews my response is "You must be kidding right?" I mean as founder (along with my wife and fellow teacher) I have been at times described by others as 'The Great Communicator.' Since I am responsible for the school's written communications its text for websites weekly bulletins monthly newsletters as well as video and other presentations I take personal as well as professional pride in all of SBMS's communicatons--to have it suggested that there is 'little communication' with parents at SBMS is well it's silly. Certainly there are aspects of any school's programs that can be misconstrued or mis-understood and as a Montessori teacher and administrator over the past 40 years I've had parents and families occasionally express their confusion as to how "Montessori" works--'What does my child do all day I don't get it?' is a familiar refrain because a real 'Montessori' program doesn't look like a traditional school's classroom. In fact 'parent education' in a Montessori school is essential for the school's programs to succeed with the children--the parents' understanding is vital to their child's classroom success. So this review claims "There is very little communication with the parents..." Really? The review also claims "Lack of parent participation... high attrition rate..." Really? SBMS now in its 36th year may want to address these issues otherwise the school's long list of alumni families and students especially those attending our local high schools or colleges and universities including Harvard UC Berkeley Stanford UCLA USC UCSB or those developing their own businesses or living and studying around the world or contributing to this and the global community with their skills and expertise--they may all want to reconsider their time at a school where creative thinking hands-on learning and project-based activities fill each day in preparation for an appreciation for learning as an individual and in collaboration with others. As a parent if you want to find out why and what the truth is about SBMS drop by any time my door is always open; I'd be proud to show you what a Montessori school looks like and if you have the time I'll gladly explain why I think it's the type of educational experience you've always promised to provide for your child.
I can't say enough about this school. The teachers the classrooms and campus the students and parents are all so wonderful. Every year is better than the last. Sure I have had questions and moments of doubt because it is not a traditional school (which is what I'm more familiar with) but the teachers and Head have always had answers and been very open to educating me about Montessori. I wish every child could experience SBMS from the toddler to the junior high it is THE BEST.
We have had our children enrolled since they were toddlers at SBMS and have enjoyed 10 years at this wonderful school. Our children are happy and eager to go to school each day. The teachers are knowledgeable informative and always available to meet with us if we have questions or just want to 'check-in' about our children. I marvel at the way in which all subjects are explored without the need for interrupted specialized classes. My children view all subjects as interrelated and have a love for learning that I envy! This is the finest Montessori School in town. Thank you SBMS for an incredible education.
After experiencing this school for the last ten years I couldn't be more excited that my children are attending this particular Montessori school. I've been involved in many parent education nights observations parent/teacher conferences and continue to be amazed by the Montessori approach and just how luck my children are to experience it. I wish I had been as fortunate to have gone to a school like this. As for the teachers they work with the specific needs of my children and answer any questions or concerns that I have. They support me as a parent and inspire me to be an event better parent.
Like the other writer I regret sending my children to SBMS! The problems at this school run deep and reach all levels; from poor leadership to the teacher's limited understanding of teaching modalities outside of the Montessori philosophy to the school's lack of enrichment programs - the school is without real and formal art music science foreign language and physical education programs. The attrition rate is very high as a result enrollment is down from 140+ to 107 in just 3 years! There is no parent involvement except for fundraising. If you are 100% sure that your child is a perfect match for a strict Montessori environment you may consider this school but their other downfalls should make you think twice. If you desire straight forward feedback about your child DO NOT enroll your child here.
Sent my daughter there during preschool age. I believe you had great introduction to early childhood education. We decided to pull her out for personal reasons.. Leadership is very questionable but I believe it was great place for my daughter to start school nevertheless.
Not a good place. Deeply regret sending my children to this school. I started out with a positive idea about Montessori but have left with a bitter taste in my mouth.
Incredibly happy with this school. Our son has been there for a year now and is thriving. Admittedly it took a while to understand the school but counter to a previous review you can ask questions and I strongly recommend that you do. Not because there is anything you should be concerned about but because your child will have a better experience if you understand the Montessori experience. I recently had a job offer in another town that had many Montessori options. After touring them (and having already seen the ones in Santa Barbara) we are so happy with the wonderful environment of SBMS. So much so that we are not moving after all.
We've had one or more children there every year for the last 12 years -- LOVE this school. The faculty are the best the community of children so respectful of each other. It's a very nurturing environment in which children thrive. Our eldest is now a junior in college and calls his SBMS years the best college prep education possible because of the personal responsibility discipline and love of learning that evolve in the child through this true Montessori education. Third child is entering their junior high class now and experience has taught us that this is the very best place for a pre-teen to grow into their very best selves.

Valle Nevado is a ski resort located on the El Plomo foothills in the Andes Mountains, at 46 km to the east of Santiago, the capital of Chile. Founded in 1988 by French entrepreneurs, it includes housing facilities along with around 800 hectares of skiing area.
The construction of the site begins in 1987 and is completed the following year. This French-Chilean project was inspired by similar European resorts, especially Les Arcs in France. It launches in 2001 the first detachable chairlift in the region, gaining a significant advantage on its competitors.
From 2008 to 2010 important building projects have been realised in order to offer more housing to the tourists. One of the biggest among these projects is the construction of two buildings named Valle de los Condores. The last year also sees the installation of additional chairlifts and a ski lift, and the opening of several new slopes.
Valle Nevado Ski Resort opens in 2013 the first mountain cable car in Chile.

SPRING -- As a boy, Rob Kuentz looked up to his dad. He even dressed like him and dreamed of one day working at a car dealership.
I have pictures of him everywhere he went, said his mother, Sandy Kuentz. He had to have that tie on because he was going to sell cars.
By 30, Kuentz was a supervisor at a Mac Haik dealership. He married his high school sweetheart, Heather, and had a son named Brady.
He was the best guy in the world, he would do anything for anybody, Heather Kuentz said. He loved his son more than anything.
It makes what happened in late November so difficult to understand.
Kuentz had argued with 49-year-old Keith Grimmett, a salesman, over his performance. The next day Grimmett came back to the dealership with a gun and allegedly shot Kuentz in the neck.
I think he s a coward, Sandy Kuentz said. I think he should of as a man been face to face with my son and told him there was a problem.
Kuentz later died at the hospital.
Grimmett was arrested after calling police. Prosecutors have charged him with murder.
But now, despite that charge, the family has learned he could walk out of jail. Grimmett has a bond hearing scheduled on February 26.
Relatives do not think that is right.
I was in shock, I couldn t think, Heather Kuentz said.
If it was possible for the death penalty, I d be all for it, said Jason Felps, Kuentz s brother.
Murder is a first degree felony and can lead to a life sentence in prison.
If Grimmett was charged with capital murder, he would not be eligible for bond and could have ultimately faced the death penalty.

New York city schools want to ban 'loaded words' from tests
By PY
Updated: Mon, 02 Apr 2012 08:27:17 UTC
New York (CNN) – Divorce. Dinosaurs, Birthdays. Religion. Halloween. Christmas. Television. These are a few of the 50-plus words and references the New York City Department of Education is hoping to ban from the city's standardized tests.
"Dinosaurs" evoking unpleasant emotions? The New York Post speculated that the "dinosaurs" could "call to mind evolution, which might upset fundamentalists."
Young Earth creationists, or Biblical creationists as they prefer to be called, often point to dinosaurs in making their arguments. They say dinosaurs and humans roamed Earth together, citing legends of dragons and say the fossil record shows the earth is 6,000 years old, though few paleontologists and geologists share this theory.
Simply ... should I read the bible?

"Why Are You Atheists So Angry?" - order now!

Official release October 2012
Why are atheists angry?
Is it because they're selfish, joyless, lacking in meaning, and alienated from God?
Or is it because they have legitimate reasons to be angry — and are ready to do something about it?
Armed with passionate outrage, absurdist humor, and calm intelligence, popular blogger Greta Christina makes a powerful case for outspoken atheist activism, and explains the empathy and justice that drive it.
This accessible, personal, down-to-earth book speaks not only to atheists, but to believers who want to understand the so-called "new atheism." "Why Are You Atheists So Angry?" drops a bombshell on the destructive force of religious faith — and gives a voice to millions of angry atheists.
Also available for Kindle and Nook
"Greta Christina's analysis of religion is acute and witty, and at the same time fair and compassionate. And I'm jealous: I sure wish I could write as well as she does."
-Alan Sokal, Professor of Physics, New York University
"Greta has done something truly impressive with this book: She explains in a calm, reasonable, and thoughtful way exactly why she's a pissed-off, angry atheist. She's not alone, though, and it's not only other atheists who will agree with her. In fact, I dare religious people to read this book and not come away furious at the often awful impact faith has had on the world, even if they don't believe they're responsible for it. I may be a 'friendly atheist' online, but Greta definitely speaks for me in this book."
-Hemant Mehta, Friendly Atheist, author of I Sold My Soul on eBay
"I found this book informative and enraging! Leave it to Greta to inform and elucidate like no other. I highly recommend this book to everyone, everywhere. And I hope never to get Greta angry at me. " -David Silverman, President, American Atheists
"This just became my number-one book to recommend to all believers and new atheists alike. I thought the field of atheist literature was all just rehashing the same stuff by now. But this is an original, visceral, and ultimately complete defense of not just atheist outrage, but atheism itself. Greta sticks to the undeniable facts-on-the-ground and articulates it all correctly and well, heading off every possible rebuttal with brilliant economy. She never gets bogged down in abstract philosophy, yet still hits every key abstract point, leaving you by the end with no rational reason not to agree, and finally kick to the curb that useless old religion, or get off your bum and really do something for the cause."
-Dr. Richard Carrier, author of Sense and Goodness without God

Pacific Legal Foundation filed an amicus brief in the Casitas takings case, involving a municipal water district's water supply and public demand for water under the federal Endangered Species Act. PLF's brief argues that the government failed to
articulate a valid background principle defense under Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council, 505 U.S. 1003, 1029-30 (1992). PLF further points out that the government does not directly dispute that Casitas' water is a protected form of property, for good reason. But, as PLF points out, the Government's position in the litigation is to "effectively render Casitas' property right a hollow, government-controlled asset that is property in
name only."

By P.H. Burbridge - The first loss for a professional fighter is always traumatic. Its especially difficult when youre a high profile prospect who is seen as a possible future champion. Theres a healthy segment of our fan population who get as much pleasure out of watching a fighter fail as others get enjoyment watching him succeed. When you lose in this sport people are all too happy to dismiss you. With his recent loss to WBC heavyweight champion, Vitali Klitschko, Cristobal The Nightmare Arreola (28-1, 25 KOs) has entered a stage in his career that a lot of fighters never emerge from. Prospect purgatory is a phrase Ive coined to describe fighters who once showed great promise but when all is said and done thats the only thing you remember about them.
Chris Arreola is in danger of having his name added to that list if he doesnt make some significant and PERMANENT changes..
Some guys have to work very hard just to be average while others start out on a higher technical plain but find themselves drowning in the same sea of mediocrity. Such is the case of Chris Arreola. A fighter who overall appears NOT committed to achieving his full potential. As fans, we lose interest very fast and find it far too easy to reach for the remote to find something else thats more entertaining on.
Well, a lot of people have changed the channel on Chris Arreola. There are fewer and fewer write ups than the case just 4 short months ago and the dominating consensus amongst the bloggers and forum warriors is that Arreola has peaked out. People rooting against him feel vindicated and those who believed in him are believing just a little bit less. Ive chronicled his emergence as a force in the heavyweight division for a little over a year now and recognize that hes currently arrived at that make em or break em point of his career. A lot of people hoped his success would reignite American interest in the division and for his part Arreola did do that temporarily. But, at this stage something earth shattering needs to take place to put him back on the global radar.
What Arreola must now realize is that his fight with Vitali Klitschko back on September 26th of last year COULD be the high point of his career. It shouldnt be but it could be. That night at the Staple Center should be his turning point not the event he points to when people ask him what kind of career he had 20 years from now. An athletes career is very short and as stated earlier people lose interest faster than fast. There is no true loyalty in this sport. The most famous and successful of fighters have been worshipped and then vilified by the fan base for this reason or that reason and it can be brutal and unforgiving. Theres no benefit of the doubt here and either you embrace change or you accept the results of your efforts as the best you could do even if you know the truth is that you could have done more. Arreola KNOWS he could have and SHOULD have done more. Hes a smart kid. He knows the deal.
There STILL is a path to immortality for Arreola and one way or another in 2010 were going to find out if he gets on that path!
The Nightmare Diary was created to chronicle his historic quest of becoming the first fighter of Mexican ancestry to win the heavyweight championship but its evolved into a chronicle of a conflicted fighter. One who has the talent but who seemingly refuses to perfect it. Its about a fighter who loves the combat but hates being a soldier. Its also about a young trainer who in the beginning of his career might be facing the toughest challenge anyone in his line of work could ever dream of trying to extract talent from a fighter whose lack of effort makes him question his own ability to teach. If Ramirez trains fighters for the next 30 years he may never run across another fighter who tests his will as much as Chris Arreola.
In truth, Henry Ramirez is trying to raise the dead! Hes still trying to get his guys mind right and its quite clear that Arreola is somewhat immune to just about every kind of criticism. Every negative thing that can be said about a fighter has been written about Arreola. Ramirez reads many of these stories and tries to use it to motivate Chris so far hes gotten mixed review.
He knows his fighter has the tools and the attitude once you get him into the ring but he also knows that talent is only part of the equation. The other main component is commitment. Full time commitment! Arreolas training and mental focus has been questioned over and over again amongst the talking heads and its no secret what people think about his work ethic. Theres also questions about his team. Does he have the right people around him to make him a champion? Ive raised that very same question myself but now Im convinced hes got the right team in place. Frankly. Ramirez may be the only guy that can reach Arreola. Ramirez in my view is an up and coming trainer who could easily parlay his work with Arreola into a long career as a top flight trainer. Hes young but Ive been impressed by him over a few in depth discussions. I dont think thats the problem. Ramirez showed very strong judgment in his decision to pull Chris out of the last 2 rounds against Vitali. He patiently allowed Arreola every opportunity to execute or at least attempt to execute their fight plan until it became painfully obvious that allowing him to absorb another second of punishment could have a LONG TERM and detrimental impact on his career. That was a savvy move and one a lot of young trainers wouldnt have made especially when their fighter was trying so hard.
It was correct on a number of levels but most importantly from the perspective of a fighters psyche. Most fighters whether they admit it or not have very fragile and easily broken self images. When a fighter is knocked out for the first time its as if hes forced to deal with his own mortality. Its comparable to the average person having a heart attack in what they consider to be the prime of their life. No one thinks its going to happen to them and when it does no matter how successful your recovery its ALWAYS in the back of your mind. It never leaves so similarly once a fighter is forced to acknowledge his own limitations he starts to question everything about himself and thats BAD. Very bad! Ramirez saved Arreola from that reality because he can now tell himself I could have finished! or he didnt REALLY knock me out! which is exactly what you want your fighter saying to himself. Its much easier rationalizing the end result that way than the other trust me on that.
So, because Ramirez ended it rather than Vitali the experience wont break Arreolas spirit long term. In fact, it might end up being the best thing that ever happened to him. Winning that night might have validated certain behaviors and given Arreola carte blanche to continue on in the same path that has made him such a controversial figure amongst boxing insiders.
Hes known for his out of ring behavior and although part of his charm is his más cerveza por favor its also his Achilles heel. The bout with Vitali wasnt lost in preparation for that one fight it was lost due to his lack of preparation over his entire career. Arreola came into training camp for the Klitschko fight at a rumored weight of 290 + lbs. Ramirez and his conditioning coach, Daryl Hudson amazingly were able to get him down to 251 lbs in under 9 weeks which was nothing short of a miracle. Now, when a significant portion of your preparation time is spent focused on the weight it takes away from your overall tactical planning. You cant spend a major part of training camp focused on your weight especially when youre staring down the barrel at Vitali Klitschko. Youre sacrificing mental preparation and youre making it IMPOSSIBLE for your trainer to focus on his fight plan. The teams collective effort needed to be on the various tactical scenarios NOT biting their nails in front of a scale. Now, Im not saying the only reason he lost to Vitali was due to his weight and Im also not saying that he would have won if he started training camp at 250 lbs because I think VK proved that he was better technically across the board. But, I AM saying that Arreola would have had much more success in the fight IF he had more speed and was able to move his head more. His core strength was lacking meaning his abdominals were a big part of the problem. You MUST lose the weight around your midsection in order to increase your flexibility and ability to move your head from side to side. Bottom line he needed to avoid some of those shots coming in and he just couldnt and that was a direct result of his lack of core strength impacted by his weight. Ramirez told me they fought the only fight they could given the circumstances and I believe that.
They werent going to outbox Vitali they had to attack him which they did.
I spoke to Henry just before the Minto fight and he was philosophical about what they learned from the Klitschko fight. You could sense his grief in discussing the end of the bout and he did tell me that Arreola was angry at him for a short time. Chris eventually came around once he was able to put things into proper perspective but we all saw he was quite emotional after the loss. Ramirez was also depressed.
But I could also sense that Henry was also hopeful that the experience might serve as a turning point for Arreola. A wake up call if you will!
Beating Brian The Beast Minto (34-3, 21 KOs) last December on HBO was important because it validated to a certain extent that Arreola was serious when he vowed to come right back. He kept his word however, he took one step forward and two steps backwards because his weight went from 251 lbs against Vitali just 10 weeks earlier to a career high 263 lbs against Minto. I would have much preferred that Arreola come back a little bit later in much better shape rather than coming back right away in the shape he showed up in. People are not going to take him seriously until he starts tipping the scales in the mid to low 240 range. Anything less than that and it will be perceived as more of the same so showing up at a career high did more damage than the positive of his getting right back in the ring. Theres only one way hell ever get past this and thats to show NOTICEABLE improvements in his physique over the course of 2010. He doesnt need to do it all in one fight. He can do it over the course of 2-3 fights just as long as its noticeable. He must also fight credible name guys. Not to imply Minto wasnt worthy because I believe he works hard and gets the most out of his talent. He just was not on the same talent level of Arreola which was clearly apparent the second the first bell rang. Arreola appeared to be on auto pilot throughout and looked content to put some rounds in until he got hit a couple of times then decided to go ahead and get him out of there. It was the expected result in pretty much the expected time frame.
The choice of Minto was not to push him to his limits it was to get him back in the swing of things and in that regard Brian was tailor made. So, Arreola is back.
Theres been some talk about fighting former cruiserweight champion, Tomasz Adamek (39-1, 27 KOs) who is currently campaigning at heavyweight and scheduled to take on Jason Estrada on February 6th. Adamek recently destroyed Andrew Golota in an all Polish battle. Adamek has looked good so far but you have to question his opposition. Golota was 41 years old when they fought and a shell of himself so you have to put that win into perspective. The Estrada fight should tell us a lot. At this point in time I think hes also perfect for Arreola because hes not a big heavyweight and he doesnt have a big punch. He also offers decent name recognition which will please HBO. An Adamek- Arreola fight should be a fan friendly affair because Tomasz trades at times when he should not and that always makes for interesting exchanges. In reality, Adameks a very good fighter who ruled a weak division and he was also visibly shaken in a number of his title defenses. His chin may be fine at cruiserweight but I have some real concerns about his ability to absorb shots from big heavyweights which Arreola certainly is. I also dont think he has enough power to really bother Chris so this is a nice set up fight for Arreola as well. If they do sign expect Chris to walk Adamek down and get him out by round 9.
Arreola is too big, too strong and throws too many punches for Tomasz to make it out on his feet.
Beyond Adamek theres a brave new world with David Haye and Wladimir Klitschko on the horizon and a chance to make people believe again.
This year could be the most important and pivotal of his career and only HE can change his narrative.
There still are believers
But, Arreola first has to prove that hes ONE OF THEM!

The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) and the Congress have decided on a series of short-term measures to arrest their relations from getting deteriorated, in the interest of the stability of the ruling United Democratic Front (UDF). As the first step, the leadership of the two parties on Tuesday declared a clampdown on verbal sparring in public, which, they fear, would widen the differences.
The leaders of the two parties spent the entire day discussing ways to prevent a total collapse of their relations, triggered by some offhand remarks of Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president Ramesh Chennithala at a function in Kozhikode recently. Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, Mr. Chennithala, and UDF convener P.P. Thankachan met at the KPCC office in the morning. Following this, the Chief Minister held a round of discussion with IUML leaders P.K. Kunhalikutty and K.P.A. Majeed. The positive outcome of the exercise was the decision to continue the talks in the evening, with the KPCC president on board.
Emerging from the meeting, Mr. Kunhalikutty said it was not an easy task to settle the problems in the UDF. Party workers have been asked to desist from taking provocative actions that would mar the relations with the Congress. At the meeting, Mr. Chennithala is understood to have sought the IUML leaders' explanation for running a campaign even after he had issued a clarification on his Kozhikode remarks.

Background: Interleukin (IL)-17F is a recently discovered cytokine and is derived from a panel of limited cell types, such as activated CD4+ T cells, basophils, and mast cells. IL-17F is known to induce several cytokines and chemokines. However, its involvement in airway inflammation has not been well understood. To this end, the expression of IL-17F and the inhibitory effects of glucocorticoids on its expression in a mouse model of asthma were examined. Methods: Five-week-old BALB/c male mice were sensitized by intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) of ovalbumin (OVA) with alum, and challenged by daily inhalation of aerosolized 1% OVA. 24 h after last challenge (OVA/OVA), the expression of IL-17F was examined in lung tissues by immunohistochemistry and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Control mice were sensitized and challenged with saline (Sham/Sham). In addition, a group of OVA-sensitized mice received i.p. injection of water-soluble dexamethasone (DEX) in saline 1 h before OVA challenge (OVA/DEX). Results: In sham-challenged mice, IL-17F was not expressed in the lungs, while, in contrast, IL-17F was predominantly expressed in bronchial epithelial cells in addition to the infiltrating inflammatory cells in OVA/OVA mice. Further, the expression of IL-17 F was significantly attenuated by the treatment of mice with DEX. Conclusion: These results suggest that bronchial epithelium-derived IL-17F may represent a new pharmacological target for glucocorticoids and may play a role in allergic asthma.

Manic Street Preachers announce one-off O2 Arena show for December – ticket details Manic Street Preachers Tickets
Welsh trio will play mammoth set, which will feature every single one of their singles
The Welsh trio will headline the 20,000 capacity venue on December 17 and have told NME that they will be playing each one of the 38 singles which make up their new compilation 'National Treasures' as part of the live set.
Speaking to NME bassist Nicky Wire said of the gig:
We've never done anything on this scale before, so we'll be playing for an hour-and-a-half, then there will be a half-an-hour interval, with lots of stuff, film stuff to do. And then we'll finish with another 20 songs.
He continued:
It's going to be an immense project, production-wise, screens, videos, you name it. It will be a completely unique thing and we'll never do it again.
The band have indicated that 'National Treasures', which is released on October 31 and this show, will be their last activity for at least two years.
To read the rest of the interview with the Manic Street Preachers, pick up this week's issue of NME which is on UK newsstands tomorrow (August 24) or available digitally.

Over the last decade, Belgrade, MT, has grown and shifted from a small agricultural town to a diverse community of 12,700 in the exurbs of nearby Bozeman. In tandem, the Belgrade Community Library (BCL) has reimagined library services and aggressively developed new outreach efforts to meet the community's changing needs. The result is intense engagement and support from the community and an impact that extends beyond Belgrade's borders through active partnerships and state-level leadership.
The Loaves and Fishes Library | Best Small Library in America 2015
Meet the Tabletarians | Mobile Services
In March 2011, the Boise Public Library (BPL), ID, used $3,300 in Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant funding to purchase four iPad 2 tablets and all of the trimmings. As it turned out, BPL may have been a couple of years ahead of its time. This conversation is now coming full circle. Technological advances continue to make tablets lighter, faster, and more affordable. Vendors have recently launched interfaces that make it possible to use a staff tablet to perform tasks ranging from weeding books to signing up new cardholders. Also, applying lessons learned about these devices during the past five years, many libraries are rebooting or enhancing the way tablets are integrated into roving reference, off-site programs, and other workflows.
FSU Shooting Highlights Need for Library Security
Early in the morning of November 20 a lone gunman opened fire in Florida State University's (FSU) Strozier Library, wounding three people. Around 12:30 a.m. staff and students inside Strozier called campus police to report that an armed subject, later identified as Myron May, had fired four shots outside the library and in its first floor lobby. Campus Law enforcement arrived in a matter of minutes to find May outside the library. When he ignored requests to drop his gun, then fired on the officers, he was shot and killed. Two of May's victims were transported to local hospitals; a third was treated and released at the scene. While the incident was tragic for all involved, and for the FSU community as a whole, it was also notable for the many ways in which it averted a worse outcome.
Security Solutions | Product Spotlight
Library security systems are described as "non-glamourous work-horses" on Bibliotheca's website. It's true that the core function—to deter theft and prevent materials that haven't been properly checked out from accidentally walking out of the library—hasn't changed much since 3M launched its Tattle Tape electromagnetic (EM) security system in the 1970s. However, many of the latest systems feature new functionality enhanced by RFID tags, along with sleek, unobtrusive design that gives public entryways a modern appearance.
America's Star Libraries, 2014: Top-Rated Libraries
We are very pleased to announce the results of the seventh edition of the Library Journal Index of Public Library Service, sponsored by Baker & Taylor's Bibliostat. The LJ Index is a measurement tool that compares U.S. public libraries with their spending peers based on four types of output measures of their per capita use. When the LJ Index and its Star Library ratings were introduced in 2008, our hope was that whether libraries were awarded stars or not, they would examine these statistics more closely—both for their own library and for their peers—and make fuller use of these and other types of data for local planning and evaluation purposes. In the meantime, however, another type of data has come to the fore—outcomes. Here we will explore what some of this year's Star Libraries are doing with outcome measures.
LJ Index 2014: The Star Libraries
Despite the promotion of outcome-based evaluation by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) almost from its inception in 1996, the difference among an input, an output, and an outcome is still unclear to many in the public library community. Indeed, the term input can be added to this confusion. So, some might find it helpful to substitute for the sound-alike terms input, output, and outcome "library resources," "library services," and "user changes."
LJ Index 2014: All the Stars, State by State
Click a state above, or use the drop-down below to jump to the Star libraries in that state. Star libraries are listed alphabetically by state abbreviation, then ranked by stars and score. Please note that expenditure category peer comparisons are the critical ones; for the Star Libraries by expenditure category please go to The Star Libraries page.
LJ Index 2014: Another Kind of Outcome Data
Generally, public library outcome assessment has relied on self-reported data from library patrons. In many cases, voluntary self-reports from library patrons is the only reasonable approach to learning how they benefited from using a collection, service, or program. But, it is not the only kind of outcome data. Sometimes, for a particular library service, there may be more objective and comprehensive data on the outcome of interest.
LJ Index 2014: New Output Measures
Three dozen Star Library interviewees were asked to identify new output measures they felt should be available, based on their experiences with outcome measurement. Their responses included both more detailed versions of existing outputs and entirely new ones, reflecting the expanding technology-based roles of public libraries. The proposed measures suggest the connections these library administrators see between outputs and outcomes.
LJ Index 2014: What's Next for the LJ Index & Star Library Ratings
When we conceived the LJ Index in 2008, neither we nor anyone else in the public library community would have imagined we all would have to wait five years for a new output measure to be mandated for U.S. public libraries. The drought appears to be over, as at least two new output measures are likely to be added to the federal Public Library Survey over the next two years. In 2015, IMLS will be reporting the first data (for 2013) on e-circulation. In 2016, if the current trajectory of deliberations and decision-making by IMLS and the state library agencies are fulfilled, another new output measure is expected: Wi-Fi access usage.

At night, when Camille is packing up, her light dies out and a statue of a head in the room lights up. As she steps towards the head, Pinhead trips her, breaking her ankles. It is interesting that when Jester uses the formula in Camille you can see the hand of the puppeteer guiding the puppet. Jester walks up and ties a sock around her mouth and then Pinhead drags her away by the hand. Due to Camille's vanishing, the researchers become worried.
The next night, Patrick gets drunk and decides to go to bed. Lance and Wanda are up late watching monitors when they see Tunneler look around, then run into Patrick's room. Tunneler stands on Patrick's bed and gets a running start into his face. Lance runs in, but is too late to save Patrick. He throws Tunneler against the wall and hits him with a lamp. Later, Tunneler has been dissected in a pan. Up in the puppet master's room, Andre is building a mechanical arm and a metal helmet. In the day, the puppet master makes his existence noticed by revealing himself to the researchers cloaked in a strange looking masked outfit.
At night, in the redneck neighbor's cabin, the wife cannot sleep due to her husband's tossing and turning. When she finally looks at him Leech Woman is knifing out part of the husband's brain. She jumps to her feet and Leech Woman jumps off the bed. The wife grabs a rifle and looks for her. As she walks Blade jumps out and cuts her leg. The rifle slides under the couch. Leech Woman pushes an old doll off the mantle and it breaks. The wife grabs a frying pan, but puts it down to pick up the broken doll. When she looks up, Leech Woman jumps out at her but the wife smacks her down and throws her in the fireplace. Leech Woman dies and the wife grins. She sees Blade and walks toward him. She picks up the rifle, but her attention is turned to a new puppet walking in. The new puppet is Torch, who makes his debut in this movie. She points the gun at him but he reacts quickly and lights her on fire with his flame thrower.
In the puppet master's room, Pinhead is sitting on the wooden table, while Jester is sad, and slouched in his little throne. Andre remembers his time in Egypt, how he got the formula from a strange man with a little green goblin puppet chained to a cage. Blade and Torch return, but Andre is not pleased with the fried brains from the wife. He throws it out remarking that "we need fresh brains for the formula." The four remaining puppets walk back into the cabinet.
The next day, Carolyn talks with Andre and thinks he's creepy. Camille's son, Michael comes to the hotel and grows fond of Carolyn. In Andre's room he tells Torch to kill outsiders, and tells the rest of the puppets to get more brains. Not too far from the hotel, an RV is parked with a little boy running around outside. The kid whips an action figure but on the third hit, the whip wraps around it and flings it into a bush. The figure gets flung back at the boy by something. When the kid begins to yell, Torch steps out of the bush. The boy kicks his action figure to the side and runs toward him. He picks Torch up and examines him. The boy yells at Torch saying, "Do something!" The kid whips Torch and scolds him. Torch lifts up his flame thrower and lights the boy on fire.
At the hotel, Lance and Wanda are in their room. Wanda leaves to check the monitors but hears gagging in her room. She enters, and turns on the light to see Blade slitting Lance's throat and carving up his brains. Blade jumps off the bed and attacks Wanda. We cut to Andre's room to see brains being poured into a tin dish. Jester walks in with a cup of more brains. The puppets mix in the new brains and are all more active than ever. Andre tells the puppets to kill Michael but not Carolyn. When Michael gets out of bed Torch is waiting at the door. He jumps behind the bed as it lights up in flames. Michael spies on Torch from behind a wall and sprays him with a fire extinguisher and then throws it at him. As he's running, Pinhead swings down from a light and punches him. Pinhead begins strangling him but Michael throws him against a wall. Blade jumps out, but Michael drops him down a dumbwaiter shaft. In the same dumbwaiter, Camille's dead body can be seen with Jester walking in her.
Carolyn is kidnapped by Andre and he shows her life size puppets for him and her to live in. He puts himself into one of them and the puppets get angry realizing that he is not using the formula for them, but for him and Carolyn. Michael runs in and Andre threatens to kill her if he comes close. Now only one cup of formula remains. Andre looks over to see Jester grab the last cup and run away with it. Andre walks towards him but Pinhead trips him and pulls him back. Blade hooks his leg and rips a hole in his new fragile body. Michael and Carolyn run away and leave the hotel. Torch, covered in foam walks in on Andre's torture. Pinhead picks up a metal cane and smashes Andre's hand with it. Torch lights him on fire and Andre crashes out the window. Jester takes the formula to Camille's body. Later we can see a red van driving around. In the van is the life-size woman puppet. She talks in Camille's voice. Next to her is Torch, and in the back seats are cages which the puppets are in. The woman recommends going to the children's mental institute, and drives off.
In this movie, Toulon says that the secret of life was a secret from Osiris, the Egyptian god of life, death, and fertility. However, in the rest of the films, the god that made the secret of life was Sutekh, the ancient god of deserts, storms, and chaos. Since Osiris is the god of life, and Sutekh is the god of chaos, then it this would be a complete mistake in the entire series. Although, Sutekh is considered a demon, and he was the killer of Osiris, so there's a possibility that Sutekh stole the secret of life from Osiris after he was killed.

Don't get me wrong guys, I do not mean to be sceptical, but…
I think it's funny.
Actually, that's pretty interesting. I'm curious myself, if something like this has any impact on future sales.
Sure it has, it makes your item stand out, and seeing how crowded the marketplaces are recently it's a big thing. Look at it this way – you browse the first page of WordPress themes and see all of them with 0 sales and no stars, but then there is this one with couple of sales and five shiny stars next to it. It stands out.
Lots of good files do not sell very well just because they are buried very quickly and don't have enough exposure. Some authors abuse the rating system and, with no investment, do nasty things like that to gain some more exposure.
I see 10 sales have 1 stars. If 3 sales have 3 stars . I think this is friendly buyer of author who bought another items .
Seems "fishy" to me seeing as my oldest WP theme has 57 purchases and 7 ratings.
I also notice my CodeCanyon items are rated far more than my ThemeForest ones.
too dramatic live
I read in previous threads here that some authors maybe buy his own items to get more sales fast and get a good rating with a few sales from the begining. Is tricky but I guess works for them.
Yeah, that is a strategy to ensure your item starts with a good rating. It's kinda bad to wait for 3 user ratings and start with a low rating from the beginning.
That can happen because the users are not required to post reviews, to define the good or bad rating they give.
It's well known that some authors purchase their own products and rate them to bolster sales. Most of us agree that this is a dishonest practice and therefore don't do it, but since there is no real way to prevent authors from doing this, some will continue to do so. I don't know that Envato has even stated explicitly that this is not allowed, since such a rule would be virtually unenforceable.
It's unfortunate, but that's the state of things. I expect discussing it further will do more harm than good.
Same thing happens on Amazon.
