National Archives at Kansas City
400 W. Pershing Road

Lecture Description: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 was an epic policy breakthrough, culminating a century of effort to expand health insurance coverage to nearly all Americans. Those striving to implement the law have faced a difficult, contentious context marked by deep-seated partisan polarization. The lecture tracks the progress to date in implementing two major provisions of the ACA -- the creation of viable insurance exchanges and the expansion of Medicaid. The lecture also shows how the ACA intersects with broader issues of American governance: the rise of the executive branch within the separation-of-powers system, the increased importance of the administrative presidency and the emergence of fractious federalism rooted in partisan polarization.
About Dr. Thompson: Frank J. Thompson is a distinguished professor in the School of Public Affairs and Administration at Rutgers University-Newark (N.J.) and an affiliated faculty member with the Rutgers Center for State Health Policy in New Brunswick. He has published extensively on issues of politics and administration, implementation, public management and health policy. In 2007, he received a Robert Wood Johnson Investigator Award to study the evolution of Medicaid during the Clinton, G.W. Bush and Obama administrations. This research resulted in a book, Medicaid Politics: Federalism, Policy Durability and Health Reform (Georgetown University Press). The book is a thorough examination of the genesis and expansion of Medicaid and its impact on the American health care system.
Thompson is a fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration and a past president of the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration. He served as executive director of the National Commission on State and Local Public Service (Winter Commission). Thompson has received several awards, including the Donald C. Stone Distinguished Scholar Award for achievement in the field of intergovernmental relations and management, and the Dwight Waldo Award for lifelong contributions to public administration. Prior to joining Rutgers in 2008, Thompson served as dean of the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy at the University of Albany, State University of New York. He earned his bachelor's degree in political science at the University of Chicago, and both his master's degree and doctorate degree in political science from the University of California, Berkeley.

SILVER SPRING, Md., March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunpeaks Ventures, Inc. (OTCBB: SNPK) (PINKSHEETS: SNPK) (the "Company" or "Sunpeaks Ventures") and its wholly owned subsidiary Healthcare Distribution Specialist, LLC ("HDS") are pleased to announce that the Company will be participating in the Diet, Vitamin & Sports Nutrition Expo to be held at the Westin Beach Resort & Spa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on July 15-17, 2012. As part of the expo, HDS is scheduled to conduct one-on-one meetings and planning sessions with national pharmacies and retailers, including Costco, CVS, GNC, Kmart, Vitamin World, and many others.
"Participating in this event is going to give us one-on-one time with numerous companies. Given the amount of Warfarin that is sold through these companies, it is our belief they will be able to understand the value proposition of carrying Clotamin in their stores," stated Mackie A. Barch, CEO of Sunpeaks. "Although Clotamin already has a nationwide distribution footprint, the potential addition of these key players can only increase product awareness and continue to build sales and shareholder value."
The Diet, Vitamin & Sports Nutrition Expo is organized by Efficient Collaborative Retail Marketing ("ECRM"), a provider of business solutions by integrating process, vision and technology. Comprised of Efficient Program Planning Sessions ("EPPS"), a powerful website, and the MarketGate Application Suite™ software, ECRM® helps retailers and manufacturers improve sales, reduce expenses and go to market faster and more efficiently.
EPPS category-specific events consist of one-on-one planning sessions scheduled between manufacturers, retailers and distributors to review new items, marketing initiatives, and strategic direction. Each manufacturer is provided a hotel suite to set up products, displays and related materials and to hold meetings.

Some thing I don't quite under stand why do we run like rats; If democracy isn't a spectator sport and we stand for any thing we can't afford to run not even from the Kock brothers yes they have money and power that come with that. At some point in time we are going to need to stand our ground do what my dad told me years ago stick to your guns if this fight is worth the fighting take it to them hands feet and teeth; I don't know if you have children Mr Hartman; Mr Uyguri; I do that's why I take this fight deadly seriously and I post your videos as well as I post my own stuff. Not asking you to agree or even The Democrats I may be a bit to far left for your tastes and that's fine with me; But we can't just let them walk on us like a cheap throw rug any more even if that means getting on local or another net work or getting on Fox and debating Bill O or one of there Lamb brains and tell the public the truth; The reason the tea party has been successful is that they are the only ones talking.
I mean this in all due respect you need a representative that has all the information so you can spread the truth about what your doing and debunk all the junk out there like senator Sanders does on brunch with Bernie. We need to have a voice To have town hall meetings like that at least once a week on cable if they can get on fox any time they want then we should be able to get the same thing of course no threats should be allowed. It's time to get off of the side lines and Fight; Don't want to cause you trouble I post you because I believe you are the words of warning and sanity No one may listen or tune in but I'll keep them up here.

Product description
This captivating book offers young readers a memorable and meaningful introduction to the famous leaders and great men of ancient Rome. Its biographical sketches are chronologically arranged, from 753 B.C., the estimated founding of Rome, to A. D. 476, the fall of the Western Empire. Readers can compare and contrast the characters of these great men and see how their actions and ideas influenced Rome and the world. The 30 chapters start with the legend of the orphans Romulus and Remus, who were raised by a wolf, and grew up to found the Eternal City. Children also meet a fascinating variety of actual historical figures, including Cincinnatus, who chose to be a farmer instead of a dictator, Nero, the mad emperor, and the warlike Julius Caesar. They'll encounter Marcus Aurelius, the emperor who used his own money to help the poor, and who walked the streets, greeting people and listening to their troubles so that he could be a better leader. Geared toward third- to seventh-graders, "Famous Men of Ancient Rome" is excellent both for reading aloud and for independent reading and study by students.

2012 NFL Pre-Combine
Top Ten WR Rankings
- 2013 Prospects:
- 2013 Prospects:
Defense Follow Us ...
CFN Pre-Combine WR Rankings, No. 11 to 25 -
CFN Pre-Combine Tight End Rankings
1. Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma State (Jr.) 6-1, 210 Proj. 1
Positives: Very strong, very tough. Is physical and will push cornerbacks around. … Ultra-consistent. Even with everyone focusing on him, he still produced all the time. … Not afraid to make the tough grab in traffic. He'll go over the middle and he'll always find a way to make the big play. … Great hands. It's always a shocker when he comes up with a drop. … He'll hit. He's a willing, tough blocker who'll be great for a ground game. … Great route runner. Dependable.
Negatives: Doesn't have it athletically and will be way, way, WAY overdrafted. Worth a late first round pick but not a top ten NFL athlete and certainly not worth the No. 2 to St. Louis. … He has the bulk, but he's not fast, isn't tall, and isn't quick. … The elite NFL receivers – Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald – who were drafted high are big and fast and tall. Blackmon will be a good pro, but his upside is Anquan Boldin. … He's not going to be a YAC guy. He's not going to do as much in the open field as he'll need to as a top draft pick. ... Pumped up numbers playing in the Oklahoma State system.
2. Michael Floyd, Notre Dame 6-3, 229 Proj. 1
Positives: Tremendous playmaker. A true No. 1 target who played up to the pressure. … Very big with NFL size and physical ability. He'll outmuscle corners for the ball. … Football fast. He won't time well, but he gets separation and uses his hands well to make himself open. … He'll beat almost anyone for jump balls. He'll be a quarterback's best friend; throw the ball in his area and he'll go get it. … Athletic. Could be a devastating goal line receiver.
Negatives: Character. Drunk driving issues were a problem. Has enough of a record that one more screw up will be a huge problem. … Not a blazer. A more physical receiver than a speed target. Won't be a top-end deep threat. … A few durability concerns with a hamstring injury and broken collarbone. His still will get him beaten up.
3. Alshon Jeffery, South Carolina (Jr.) 6-4, 230 Proj. 2
Positives: Ideal size. Huge and knows how to use his bulk. He looks the part of an NFL No. 1 receiver. … Busts his tail. Little bust potential when it comes to attitude and drive. He won't go diva on an NFL team, and if it doesn't work out, it won't be because of want-to. … Throw the ball up and he'll go and get it. He'll beat out almost any corner for the ball in a one-on-one situation. … He dominated as a sophomore. He might have been a top ten overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft.
Negatives: One of 2011's biggest disappointments with the spotlight on. It wasn't his all his fault with the mediocre quarterback play. His production was almost cut in half from 2010 and didn't come up with a 100-yard game until the bowl game – and that came because he made a play on a Hail Mary. … He doesn't have top-end NFL speed. Not quick or sudden. … A minor academic problem at USC. He didn't miss any game time, but he needed to work to get in everyone's good graces.
4. Mohamed Sanu, Rutgers (Jr.) 6-2, 218 Proj. 2
Positives: Good size and good overall athleticism. The coaching staff invented ways to get the ball in his hands. … Great inside and out. Has the toughness and the make-up to make the tough catch across the middle and then do something with it. … Has a nice next gear. Once he gets going, he's excellent on the move. … A playmaker. A better player on film than he'll be in workouts. … Could be an ideal No. 2 receiver. Knows what he's doing and will more than his share of one-on-one battles.
Negatives: Not explosive. Not a sudden, shifty target. … Could use more polish as a route runner. Has to be more precise after spending his career getting the ball in his hands and doing something with it. … Banged up a bit. Had a few issues that he fought through, but suffered a few shots. … He doesn't have No. 1 ability. Not good enough to revolve an NFL passing game around.
5. Kendall Wright, Baylor 5-10, 194 Proj. 1
Positives: Terrific deep speed. A home run hitter who tracks the ball extremely well and finds ways to make things happen down the field. Forget about what he times; he's football fast. … Zips in and out of his breaks. Shifty and cuts extremely well. … Still a work in progress in a good way. He has the basic tools and the requisite speed, but he still has to keep working on his technique, his strength, and his polish. Unlike Justin Blackmon and several other top prospect, there's still a lot of room to improve on an already good prospect. … A fighter. Loves the game and wants to be the main man.
Negatives: Part of the system. He wasn't asked to do much more than get down the field in the wide-open Baylor offense, and it helped to have a mobile quarterback like Robert Griffin to get him the ball. … Does he have what it takes to make the improvements needed to be great? The tools are there, but he has to work – really, really work – to go from being a functional NFL starter to a true No. 1. … Not big. He doesn't have a big frame and can't add much bulk.
6. Dwight Jones, North Carolina 6-4, 226 Proj. 3
Positives: HUGE. Got bigger over the last year adding bulk to an already big frame. … Physical and fast for his size. He has all the tools and the upside to become a dangerous prospect. … A deep target. Could be a matchup nightmare on downfield plays. … There's a ton of upside. He's not finished and has to work on being a better all-around player. If a coach can light a fire under him and if he wants to become special, he has the raw talent to potentially be the best receiver in the draft.
Negatives: Needs a lot of work. He's not a good route runner and has to be better working the whole tree. … Needs to want it. Reputation for not going the extra mile to become great. … Not necessarily a fighter. He has first round skills who could be a mid-round pick because he's hardly a sure thing.
7. Rueben Randle, LSU (Jr.) 6-4, 205 Proj. 2
Positives: A superstar high school prospect who could be a far better pro than a collegian. He never got top-shelf quarterback play and could go from good to phenomenal with a passer who knows what he's doing. … The tools are all there. He's a big deep threat who knows what to do with the ball in his hands. … Can work in a variety of roles. Can play inside or out.
Negatives: Didn't have to run a full tree often enough. He was the deep threat who produced when everyone loaded up to stop the run. … Erased by Alabama. Caught five passes for 32 yards in the two big games of 2011. … Didn't make enough plays as a top-flight No. 1 receiver. Didn't do enough after the catch on a consistent basis.
8. Jeff Fuller, Texas A&M 6-4, 217 Proj. 4
Positives: Right out of central casting. If you were to come up with what you'd want an NFL wide receiver to look like, he is it with tremendous size and bulk. … Strong and great when he gets the ball put his way. Get the ball in the right area and he has the physical ability to go and grab it. … There's upside. He could be a better pro with the right coaching and a few adjustments.
Negatives: There's something missing. He should've done far more and didn't progress and didn't make the big strides he should've. … Doesn't have top end speed. He'll time well for his size, but he doesn't get great separation. … Doesn't use his size and physical tools well enough. It could require a slight adjustment, but he loses too many jump balls and drops too many passes.
9. Chris Givens, Wake Forest (Jr.) 6-1, 207 Proj. 3
Positives: Ultra-productive in an offense that didn't exactly bomb away. Turned into a big play target showing off good football speed. … A nice route runner. Has the potential to become a tough and reliable mid-to-deep target. … Good across the middle. Not just a one-trick target and isn't afraid to come up with a block.
Negatives: Not known for being a big-time worker in the weight room. … Huge bust potential. While he has supposedly changed his attitude and now seems to "get it," he has to show he's ready to take his game to another level and do all the work needed once he arrives. … Doesn't have elite tools. Not big, slight, and doesn't have elite speed.
10. Marvin McNutt, Iowa 6-2, 238 Proj. 4
Positives: The former quarterback plays like he knows where he's supposed to be. He understands route running and is ultra-reliable. … Good size and knows how to use it. Walls himself off well from defenders and fights for the ball. Uses his hands well. … Ready out of the box. He's smart enough to get a playbook and be used as a No. 2 receiver right away.
Negatives: Not the greatest athlete. He looks like a former quarterback playing wide receiver. … This is it. He can improve a bit on his mechanics and can be a more polished route runner in terms of his suddenness, but this is what he's going to be. That's not bad, but there's limited upside. … Should be erased by any upper-level NFL corner. He's not going to produce in one-on-one situations against a No. 1 corner. -

A two-member FIFA delegation inspected the refurbished Cooperage ground on Sunday. The Colaba venue is one of the eight shortlisted by the All India Football Federation for the Under-17 FIFA World Cup in 2017.
Inaki Alvarez, FIFA's director of competition and Vijay Parthasarthy, competition manager, were given a tour of the ground by Henry Menezes, chief executive, Western India Football Association and Souter Vaz, WIFA general secretary. Alvarez and Parthasarathy have already visited stadiums in Goa, Pune and Nerul.
The delegation was accompanied by Anil Kamat, assistant general secretary (competition), AIFF, and Shaji Prabhakaran, FIFA development officer (Asia).
Alvarez seemed satisfied with the Cooperage ground. "I've heard this is one of the best artificial turfs and it seems really good. But at the moment, we are in an evaluation process. We will be going back and forth and submitting our reports. So I can't say anything right now." Asked if he was satisfied with the venues he visited, Alvarez said, "Each venue is different and the ones with the best balance will be approved for the World Cup."
A venue must fulfill FIFA criteria to earn hosting rights. For instance, the field must be of approximately 105 metres in length and 68 metres wide. The stadium must also have proper training pitches and dressing rooms.
But because the Under-17 World Cup is awarded to countries to improve their footballing infrastructure, FIFA is lenient on the kind of turf that can be used. "Regulations allow that matches in the Under-17 World Cup can be played both on artificial turf as well as natural grass," said Alvarez, who clicked pictures of the field of play, goalpost and stands.
The delegation also visited the University Sports Pavilion and Bombay Gymkhana. Both facilities could be used as training venues.
Menezes informed that WIFA has received full support from the state government to host the first-ever FIFA event in the country. "The state government has granted us all the necessary sanctions and clearances, including security arrangements for hosting the World Cup," he said.
The delegation will now travel to Bangalore before heading for Guwahati, Kolkata and New Delhi.

Horizontal Shower
Still showering standing up? You're missing out on the total relaxation potential of a nice, hot shower.
The Horizontal Shower, brought to you by German manufacturer Dornbrach, is a series of six overhead showerheads and a reclining surface that lets you lie down and take a shower at the same time. The showerheads can be programmed to provide varying water temperature, intensity and flow.
Take a look at more amazing photos of the Horizontal Shower over at our new home design blog Homes & Hues: The Horizontal Shower Lets You Lie Down and Shower

Perhaps the servants would assist with hair washing.
I'm wondering how you'd go washing your hair in this. Maybe it's an extra thing, in addition to a standing shower and a bath tub. If you had sore muscles or had been doing anything particularly vigorous (like gardening or playing sport for those of you with dirty minds) it would be super awesome.
Self-waterboarding? Well you got the masochist vote.
Dude, how do you wash yourself? How do you get out of the way of the water so you can soap up? Do you have to flip over to wash your stomach? If so What do you do about the water splashing into your face? It's like waterboarding yourself!
One day in a spa, I had a massage under a seawater shower such as this.

Having ordered new axles and wheels, we easily took the old ones off and snapped on the new ones. Once we realized NOT to put the wheels on the axles before attaching them to the rack, the repair was super easy. Evidently GE had put inefficient axles on the original dishwaser and had subsequently redesigned them.

Wood Carbon Granules May Clean Coal Power Plants
By Bill Esler | Posted: 06/24/2013 9:03AM
KINGSPORT, TN - Activated charcoal from wood chips, saw dust and other biomass can be powderized and used to filter mercury out of exhaust from coal-fired boilers, says enviraPAC, giving old power plants a new lease on life.
Coal-burning power plants and industrial facilities across the United States face likely closure, unable to comply with more stringent EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) regulations to reduce their mercury emissions by 90 percent in coming years.
enviraPAC says its proprietary technology for producing and injecting activated charcoal into exhaust flues could solve the problem. Activated charcoal is a familiar filtration material, used in consumer markets to clean a=everything from fish tanks to kitchen exhaust hoods. The global demand for activated carbon is expected to increase by more than ten percent per year through 2016.
The Kingsport, TN enviraPAC, a division of The EnviraCarbon Companies, says it saw the opportunity to use its powdered activated charcoal, produced in an environmentally friendly way, to clean emissions from coal-ired power plants.
Steve Hooper, CEO and co- Founder of enviraPAC, says "With a large number of aging power plants that require costly and large-scale improvements to meet environmental regulations, enviraPAC is in a unique position to supply a more efficient, cost effective alternative to traditional methods."
Its wood-based powdered activated carbon product, enviraPAC Hg™, replaces traditional activated carbon products produced from coal. The carbon is injected to capture and prevent mercury emissions from coal flue gas.
The process uses a patent-pending biomass carbonization reactor able to convert biomass into a carbon product at a 25-50% conversion rate with no external heat inputs. The carbonization system is able to produce enough heat to dry incoming biomass and drive the activation process, while leaving energy available for other purposes such as electricity generation.
"Normal activation of coal requires approximately 11,000 cubic feet of natural gas to drive the activation reaction," explains the company at its website. "Because of the unique and proprietary way we manage the decomposition of the incoming biomass we are able to utilize the energy from combustion of the gases and tars produced in decomposition rather than using natural gas, or other external energy sources for heating." The process uses 40% less energy than traditinoal methods, says enviraPAC.

The Bharatiya Janata Party's Nitin Gadkari was destiny's blue-eyed boy — or so it had appeared until Rajnath Singh, in the predatory manner of an eagle swooping down on its prey, snatched away the helmsman's prize. Mr. Gadkari was hoping to make history as the first BJP chief to have earned a second consecutive three-year term via an amendment to the party's constitution. Instead he has made history as the first party chief to have been ousted minutes away from winning a second term. Party and pundits alike had assumed that the contest was over, bar the shouting. Indeed, the outgoing chief led a charmed life, surviving not just serious charges of financial wrongdoing but multiple internal mutinies targeted at securing his exit ahead of the election for the top party post. But all the malcontents put together could not budge the chief from his place for the simple reason that he existed at the pleasure of the BJP's command centre at Delhi's Jhandewalan. A baffling bond held together Mr. Gadkari and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The outgoing BJP chief was hardly the quintessential sangh ideologue. He did not flaunt his nationalist credentials or declaim with passion on Hindutva. Nor did he fit the other sangh ideals of personal austerity and probity.
On the contrary, Mr. Gadkari seemed to subscribe to an entrepreneurial model that was liberal in its interpretation of business ethics. As much was proved when the full extent of the Purti Group's dealings, complete with dubious crossholdings and funding patterns, was revealed. The end was precipitated by income tax raids on Mr. Gadkari's network of companies hours before his re-election. The moment was naturally seized by Mr. Gadkari's opponents, some of whom had tried to force the issue by threatening to contest against him. The months ahead will be as much a test for Mr. Rajnath Singh as it will be for the RSS, which in a desperate attempt to show its authority, vetoed Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley for the party post. Obviously Mr. Singh, with his proven loyalty to the sangh, was preferable to those with bigger reputations. In an earlier presidential stint, Mr. Singh had replaced Lal Krishna Advani who was shown the door as punishment for praising Mohammad Ali Jinnah. For all that the Gadkari chapter has ended, the story is only half complete. The BJP's real challenge will come later when it decides its Prime Ministerial candidate conscious of the fact that the line of aspirants will be led by the divisive figure of Narendra Modi. The Gujarat Chief Minister has a frenzied following among the parivar's rank and file but he is also ambitious and authoritarian and comes with baggage that cannot augur well for the expansion of the National Democratic Alliance.

Steelers' RB Mendenhall keeps 'em chuckling
PITTSBURGH Rashard Mendenhall walks through the locker room singing out loud, stops to poke fun at a teammate, shares a few laughs with a team employee and settles near his locker.
Reporters gather around him, and Mendenhall turns into just another boring athlete. The Steelers running back answers questions in a calm, soft-spoken voice, careful not to say too much or provide any bulletin-board material for opponents.
Once the cameras and recorders are turned off, Mendenhall is back to himself. He's a prankster, a guy who enjoys making his teammates laugh and helps keeps the mood light.
"He's a very charismatic guy," right guard Ramon Foster said. "He just does some crazy, stupid stuff. It doesn't matter when. He'll do it anywhere. He's the best movie quoter ever. Any type of Dave Chapelle skit, he knows it. My favorite thing is that 'Plead the fifth' skit, Rashard does that."
On the field, Mendenhall is all business. He's a tough runner and a major part of Pittsburgh's offense. Mendenhall is coming off an outstanding performance against the New York Jets in the AFC championship game. Similar success against the Green Bay Packers would help the Steelers secure their seventh Super Bowl title.
Mendenhall scored two touchdowns in a comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens two weeks ago. He had 121 yards rushing and one TD on 27 carries in the 24-19 victory over the Jets and Rex Ryan's vaunted defense.
"Every game is a different game," Mendenhall said. "You want to take the positives out of last week and try to maximize your performance."
A strong running game has long been a staple in Pittsburgh. From Byron "Whizzer" White to Bill Dudley, John Henry Johnson to Franco Harris, Jerome Bettis to Willie Parker, the Steelers traditionally have won with a grind-it-out rushing attack and a menacing defense.
But Ben Roethlisberger's strong arm and a group of talented receivers made the Steelers more of a passing team the last two years. The days of the Ground Chuck offense seemed long gone as Big Ben threw for more than 4,300 yards in 2009.
Roethlisberger's four-game suspension to start this season contributed to a renewed emphasis on the run. Mendenhall had two of his three 100-yard games in the regular season during Roethlisberger's absence, helping the Steelers to a 3-1 start.
After Roethlisberger returned, Mendenhall's carries went down from an average of 22.3 per game the first four weeks to 18 over the next five. But the Steelers relied more on Mendenhall in the latter part of the season and he finished with 1,273 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns. In two playoff games, he's carried the ball 47 times for 167 yards and three scores.
While most fans in other cities prefer to see their team pass, the black-and-gold faithful turn it up a notch when Mendenhall gets the ball.
"Running the ball and defense are a tradition here," Mendenhall said. "You can wear down an opponent with the running game and the fans feel it. It's one of those things where you can hear the crowd and the towels waving."

Deadliest Warrior – Samurai vs Viking
Spike TV has a new show out called 'Deadliest Warrior'. It pits two historical fighters against each other in mortal combat. Tonight is Samurai vs Viking at 10 pm Eastern (check your local listing for your time).
I'm such a sucker for these shows! I really liked Human Weapon, but also watched things like Fight Science and Dhani Tackles the Globe. I don't know, they intrigue me. The thing about this new show 'Deadliest Warrior' is that they bring in experts from whichever fighting style is on the episode and they examine the ballistic and cutting ability of their weapons. Then, taking various mathematical and logical factors into account, they program a computer to run 1,000 fights between the two combatants and see who comes out on top more often…and why.
Last episode an Apache Warrior bested a Roman Gladiator. It was a little controversial since the fight was one on one and that is what Gladiators specialized in. This week the stakes are even higher because my boy the Samurai is taking on the fierce Viking class.
One thing that seems obvious is the sword advantage the Samurai will have. The katana is definitely going to outperform the viking style spatha. I'm willing to bet my hat on that. But it's possible the Viking will use a shield in combination with his sword, which could complicate things for the computer.
In the picture above we see the Samurai using a naginata while the viking uses a long axe. I would have to give the samurai the edge here as well as the naginata has longer range as well as various striking methods, including stabbing, cutting, and striking where the axe only really has striking.
The Viking chainmail is probably going to cause a problem for the Samurai. Chainmail is designed to resist cutting and the Samurai is sure to rely on that heavily.
All things considered, when it comes to a one on one fight, I don't believe any warrior throughout history was better developed than the Samurai. My vote officially goes to him.
How about you?

Stop Trying To Do It and Do It!
Something interesting happened to me the other day. During Kenjutsu training, we have a formal Rei (respect) ceremony before starting and ending class. The basic steps involve:
Chakuza – kneeling down into seiza
Placing the sword in front
Two bows, one to the sword and one to the shinza
Two claps (to awaken the kami to our training)
a final bow.
Normally I'm pretty mechanical throughout the process, trying to keep body and mind in sync. The minutaie of bowing and paying proper respect in a classical martial art is as intricate and detailed as anything I've ever discovered, so attempting to do things the "right" way is a full time gig.
During a recent class though things went differently. We were training in iai, which tends to be more mentally strenuous than physical. At the end, we all lined up as usual and went through the bowing process.
My mind was tired from the focused training we had done, so instead of the intricate self assessment I usually go through during Rei, I simply allowed my body to do what it wanted. I went on auto pilot, assuming that I had done the routine enough not to screw it up or stand out in a bad way.
Much to my surprise, my body took over and my mind retreated into what I would call emptiness. By emptiness I don't mean a lack of attention or caring, but more of a quiet, uninterrupted allowance of events to unfold.
My bows clicked into what felt like perfect position and only the muscles I needed were being used – everything else was relaxed. Afterward I got up and thought to myself "hey that felt pretty good!" (and just like that, emptiness was gone).
Nike Was Right – Just Do It….after a lot of practice
The Rei experience was great, but also fleeting. These little moments of success are what drive us forward as artists and keep us hooked on an otherwise demanding lifestyle. What I did right during the Rei ceremony, purely by accident, was letting go of my efforts to do something perfect.
When actively TRYING to accomplish something, our brain works in overdrive. We are computing angles, thoughts, concerns, feelings, and a whole lot more. This mental traffic inevitably causes jams and hesitations. If we can turn off all the unnecessary lanes of thought, the only thing left is a clear, smooth path to effectiveness.
The problem is this – if all it took to be a martial arts "master" was not trying, we'd all be as good as Bruce Lee. Unfortunately, we are not. A person has to burn a particular skill or technique into both their psyche and muscle memory before it can be relied upon by itself.
During my bowing, when I allowed my body to do something it had been trained to do over time, the muscle memory and instinct of the act kicked in and performed just as it should. But without years of fretting and concerning over the exact angles and methods of bowing, that info would never have found a permanent place in my mind and body.
Technique, Kata, and Breaking Out
In order to learn and program ourselves with effective techniques, we have to utilize a few reliable methods of training. First, when learning self defense or any other kind of attack/defense, it's good to use step-wise "events". By that I mean, two partners line up and one attacks the other. The defending person tries his technique on the preset attack. This can be done slowly at first and quickly as both partners gain experience.
The other useful method of training is kata. Kata is a limitless tool that allows you to train wherever, whenever, and still work to properly program technique. Although you don't always have live opponents during kata, the mental and physical growth that comes with forms training is priceless.
Finally, you have to give yourself a chance to break out of the preprogramming and allow your body to function reflexively. Many people consider sparring the only potential method for doing this but it is not. For martial artists who have learned control there are a plethora of drills where the free exchange of techniques can be allowed.
Personally, I like drills that don't involve excessive padding and promote a feeling of normalcy in the practitioner. By recreating as close to street environments as possible, we can better prepare ourselves for the reality of combat in today's world.
Through extensive drilling and opportunities to express ourselves naturally, we greatly increase the odds of experiencing those moments of intuitive competence.

Ikigai and What's Around Us
The term ikigai generally refers to 'that which makes life worth living', and can be something very specific to your life. It can be a hobby, a person, or some other passion that drives and fuels you. (I wrote more about the concept here).
Recently I was reminded of a sister concept that is equally important – appreciating what is around us. Things might not be perfect, but the truth is we live in an amazing society during amazing times. If we don't take time to stop and appreciate what's around us it's like we have nothing at all.
Comedian Louis CK recently went on the Conan O' Brien show and talked about this very phenomena. But, like only a good comedian can, he puts it in such a way that it seems blatantly obvious and hilarious how we take our world for granted. Check it out:

That video is extremely funny and true. "How quickly the world owes him something he knew existed only 10 seconds ago."
Even the smallest things in our lives are astounding if we stop and think about it. Clean water, fresh food, instant communication (like so)…the examples are endless.
As ikigai increases, appreciation for everything increases. As appreciation for everything increases, ikigai increases. They are connected and equally important.

An orange duck set in a spooky scene. He doesn't appear very comfortable nextto
the grinning skull.

a yellow rubber duck
in an overturned red umbrella
to float
in a captured puddle
of dreams that fell
one by one
from the sky

Event Name- OR - Select an option below
From the same DIY wizards who cast the Market Hotel into existence, 285 Kent on Williamsburg's waterside has turned from an insider favorite to an industry imperative. There's always something strange, unfamiliar, or cutting-edge to check out here--many in the music scene have heralded 285 Kent for itscreative programming. Hidden behind an unassuming door is the converted warehouse-like space, with a lofty ceiling that not only keeps the acoustics booming but also fosters a non-claustrophobic feel that's uncharacteristic to the dozens of compact venues in the city.

http://www.knittingfactory.com Michael Dorf's refuge for hip, avant-garde music may have moved to Tribeca (from its original digs on Houston) in 1994, and now resides in Brooklyn, but its spirit of experimentation is still intact. At the club's smallest performance space, you'll have an up-close-and-personal look at the (mostly local) punk, bluegrass, rock, and folk bands that play here. as you'll likely be standing a foot away from them!. The intimate space and low ceilings can make for great acoustics--and by great, we mean LOUD. The best part: ticket prices are rarely more than $10. More >>
