You have to know what you don't know.
This seems like a Vince Macmahon tactic, if you want to be in the biggest and best organization play ball be the company man and when we know your loyal and we own your ass we will pay you some serious money, until then you can take the decent offer that is still better then any other offer you will ever get and stfu.
Wanna get paid more, win more. 1-1 in the UFC isnt doing anything for his brand right now.
I wish more fighters were like Donald Cerrone, just fighting all the time and making money the easy way, knocking people the fuck out.
Individual competitive sports have done just fine with one dominate organization runing things... PGA for golf, ATP for tennis and so forth so it's not like MMA can't follow their lead. I'm not suggesting the UFC in it's current form is the answer for MMA long term and the sport needs to continue to grow and evolve from what it is... long term though the answer to me is not having the best talent split up where they never get the chance to compete.

Bjorn Rebney discusses Gilbert Melendez deal and how it came about
Rebney indicated this wouldn't be the last time something like this would happen. He noted they are going to aggressively go after the best fighters when they are legally allowed to, and said they are in talks with name talent right now.
"Some of them you'd know by first name alone, and some are guys you've never heard of who will become the next Michael Chandler, Daniel Straus, Eddie Alvarez and Eduardo Dantas."
Bellator will open its weekly Friday night live card schedule on Spike TV starting on Feb. 28, run though May, do monthly shows in the summer, and have a fall season of weekly shows from September through November. Rebney noted it's going to be all out from now until he sits down to eat Thanksgiving dinner.
"We're gong to continue to sign the best fighters, whether they are from a favela in Brazil, the frozen tundra of Siberia, or they are fighting in the UFC," he said. "That's the mission. The fighters are the ones fueling pay-per-view buys or fueling cable television ratings. You're not fueling ratings by promoting Bjorn or Bellator. Promoting the fighters should be first and foremost.
"We're going after everybody, more-and-more often. I think there's a bigger picture issue. The biggest thing is there are two major players in MMA. It's far and away better for the fighters. When a fighter has one option, he has no power at the negotiating table. But when he has two options, the fighter has all the negotiating power. That's actually counter intuitive, coming from the CEO of a fight company. But that's the truth. And my checkbook may take a shot because of it. But if the fighters can earn what they feel they deserve, overall we and the sport will be in a better place. You're going to see much more of this as we move forward, guys coming from the smallest regions where we find undiscovered talent, to the superstars from the UFC and other guys we find in the United States."
The Melendez contract obviously calls for a number of fights, as well as a cut of any pay-per-view shows he's a headliner in, but also has a number of topics covered outside the cage.
"I can't be too specific," said Rebney. "But it includes on-air opportunities, entertainment opportunities behind-the-scenes, some marketing opportunities, really, the whole genesis is Gil-specific. The key to the deal is building the Gilbert Melendez brand, not the Bellator brand or the Bjorn Rebney brand. The fighter's brand is what's important. The focus was on talking to Gil and his team. How do we leverage all the different resources to build the `El Nino' brand, and that's what got us all on the same side of the table to put this structure together."
Melendez (22-3), was the No. 2 contender in UFC's lightweight division, behind champion Anthony Pettis and former champion Benson Henderson. With Josh Thomson's loss to Henderson on Jan. 26 in Chicago, and Henderson having two losses to Pettis, it put Melendez at the front of the line for a title shot. But that shot would be delayed if a Pettis vs. UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo superfight was to be made this summer.
If UFC declines to match, Bellator will then schedule Melendez's first match.
"You can start with (Eddie) Alvarez (Bellator's lightweight champion, (Michael) Chandler (former champion and current top contender), (Will) Brooks, (Dave) Jansen, all those fights would be awesome," said Rebney.
Rebney used Alvarez's name constantly in the discussion of potential fights for Melendez. A few years back, when Melendez was the Strikeforce lightweight champion and Alvarez was Bellator's champion, prior to the Zuffa purchase of the Strikeforce brand, Rebney publicly tried to garner publicity for such a match. It never got past his call-out stage since then-Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker, who had a stronger brand at the time and more exposure, had no interest in such a deal. But it is notable because many have thought it was inevitable Alvarez would be headed to UFC after his next fight with Chandler.
If Melendez signs, it would be Bellator coming full circle.
"Gil was the first big name I tried to recruit in 2008," said Rebney, who at the time was looking for Hispanic fighters after he got funding to start the promotion and had cleared a time slot for 2009 on ESPN Deportes. "I jumped on the plane from Chicago to Northern California, sat down with Gil, and talked about the vision I had. It's now like it's night and day. Today, we're the second-largest MMA organization in the world, we're beating UFC ratings on cable, and then I was a guy flying Southwest with an idea and a dream. He was a great listener. He had a great vision of what he wanted to accomplish, and he was wise beyond his years, even then. You could see his skill level. Now he's gone about maximizing his opportunities. But he was the first guy I went after. A few years later, I tried hard to figure out a way to do Alvarez vs. Melendez. We've been patient and built up the foundation, we have the right partners, the best broadcasting partner in MMA history, and now we may have Alvarez vs. Melendez or Alvarez vs. Chandler."
Numbers on cable for both groups vary greatly. The biggest UFC events on its new home of Fox Sports 1 have drawn more viewers than Bellator's biggest events, even with the disadvantage of being a weaker overall station and being available in nine million fewer homes. The biggest Bellator shows of the last season did beat all but the highest UFC shows on its new home.
Ironically, when Melendez opted to stay with Strikeforce in 2008, it was Alvarez, a star in Japan who wasn't well known in the United States, who Rebney signed to be the top star of his new group. To do so, he offered Alvarez a deal for significantly more than UFC was offering at the time.
If Melendez comes to Bellator, that will not affect plans for the company's first pay-per-view, scheduled for this spring, headlined by Alvarez vs. Chandler III. Rebney said that show is locked in. A planned pay-per-view in November fell though when Tito Ortiz, one of the headliners, was injured, and the second Alvarez vs. Chandler match, originally set for that show, ended up headlining a Spike TV special.
Rebney stated Melendez wants to get started as soon as possible. If UFC doesn't match the deal, he would like to debut Melendez this spring, which with the Alvarez vs. Chandler III fight already on the books, means his first fight would be against someone else. If he should win that, his second fight could be the big one.
Should Melendez win, a fight against the Alvarez vs. Chandler winner would seem an obvious direction. With pay-per-view a facet of Melendez's contract, it could figure to be the company's second show in that arena. Rebney is already thinking of ways to promote such a fight.
"There were two fights that could have battled for fight of the year last year," he said. "Michael vs. Ed II (Nov. 2 in Long Beach, Calif.) and the other was Gil vs. Diego (Sanchez, Oct. 19 in Houston). Those were two epic fights, both in the 155-pound division."
Rebney noted it's too early to script out exactly what the direction would be, but he's salivating at the prospective opportunities.
"We'd like to get Gil busy," he said. "Gil would like to fight at the same time as Ed vs. Michael III on that pay-per-view or on a major Spike show like we did with Rampage. There are some very legitimate other options and we're looking at all of them. But for now, we have to wait out and see what UFC does."
Rebney said the negotiations for a deal began as soon as they got word from the representatives of Melendez that they were legally able to talk about a potential deal in late January.
"It really started when they reached out to us," he said. "I didn't realize the status of his deal. As soon as they reached out, we started discussions.
"We went for two-and-a-half weeks, with a lot of back-and-forth. I recognized there was a shared vision of what would be the best thing for Gil, but inside and outside the cage. After speaking with Gil at length, and hearing from him what he wanted to accomplish with his career, both short-term and long-term, we then worked with Rodolphe Beaulieu (Melendez's agent) and CAA to put together a package he was looking for. It came together pretty quickly."
Tennis has a million governing bodies and ATP isn't even the top one. It's the itf. Also, its a tournament system with seeding rather than matchmaking like mma.
The PGA tour is a completely different animal and you should look into how and why it came about.
What you are missing in your comparisons is the obvious point that all of the professional sports you have mentioned consist of leagues, not a private profit-driven company which holds the full rights to the participants and their marketing.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
My point is and still is that having fighters competing for different companies is not the way to go either. You mentioned Pride in another post and how MMA was great back then because of it. It was but we were robbed of someone money great fights that either happened way to late in careers or never at all. The innovation and growth of sports doesn't just come from having competing organizations it's also because of amazing fights/games and rivalries. When the best don't compete with each other we lose that opportunity.
As I said earlier, we're dealing with companies and as such, one has practically a monopoly on the upper-rung of the sport. I believe we can all concede that.
When you're dealing with companies who are not bound by a trade group, jurisdictions, or any type of trade group, they control the product and are able to feed it to the public with little or no question on whether or not the product is quality. A second viable entity would immediately cause the commanding company to examine its product and elevate its quality to maintain its market control.
Rivalries are based on history and growing a product from the ground up creates these situations.The innovation and growth of sports doesn't just come from having competing organizations it's also because of amazing fights/games and rivalries.
I agree that I always want to see the best fight the best and I want it right now but that's a very short-sighted. What is far better for the sport is for two great fighters to build a legacy and for them to eventually face off. However, the current Zuffa model would never support that regardless of the concessions of another company to co-promote. I believe DFW and the Fertittas learned their lesson when their golden boy Chuck ate canvas in Japan and couldn't even earn a shot at Wanderlei.It was but we were robbed of someone money great fights that either happened way to late in careers or never at all.

Pronounced: ay-za-SYE-ti-deen
Classification: DNA Demethylating Agent
Azacitidine kills abnormal cells in the bone marrow by inhibiting a process called DNA methylation, which is essential for cell reproduction. Because the abnormal cells cannot divide and grow, they die.
Azacitidine is given through subcutaneous (under the skin) injections in the doctor's office for seven days. This cycle is repeated every four weeks.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Azacitidine. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4 F), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If your platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
There are several things you can do to prevent or relieve constipation. Include fiber in your diet (fruits and vegetables), drink 8-10 glasses of non-alcoholic fluids a day, and keep active. Prune, pear and apple juice and dried fruits such as dates, apricots and prunes may help relieve constipation. Your doctor or nurse can also recommend medications to relieve constipation. A stool softener and/or a stimulant such as senna, taken once or twice a day may prevent constipation. Notify your doctor or nurse if you have not had a bowel movement in 3 or more days.
See OncoLink's section on fatigue for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.

Building instructions
I've started to create building instructions for the robots I've made (mainly for the reason that it's easier for me to rebuild them at need) .
First ones are the instructions for The Slug - others will follow over the next days on the different pages in the Robots section.
Just in the case anyone is interested,

Thanks Matthias, That is the best way to retain any hope of exact rebuilds...and Sharing is a big plus!
I would like everyone to give it a try and save your creations before dismantle. The extra time will be well spent. I lost so many good things before any of the CAD programs came around.
PS - If anyone is interested in my HoopRover...I've rendered it with MLCad. I can send copies if emailed.
- Aug 18, 2006, 3:41:00 AM
You may want to consider adding HoopRoover to the nxtasy.org repository.
I'd like to start using mclad. Is there good starting point? I'm still confused over the differences between LDView/LPub/Mclad... and would like to know the minimum installation requirements to create NXT instructions and render them in html.

Thanks for the repository idea. I will be adding it to the LEGO MindStorms MDP profile area soon. There are some other things in the works there that will be along the same lines as well.

Please, render your NXT-Grub!

No offense to the other MDP members, its just my opinion.
this looks like(to me) one of the more complex robots Ive seen.
although it may just be because of the gears, gears make my head hurt.
It would be very fun to build more of the robots that the MDPers have built. Ive even tryed to duplicate some of the robots only by sight.
Ive successfully duplicated Jenntwo, Vinecrawler, and the NXT crab(with awkward restults.)
Again, I would very much enjoy being able to build the other MDPers robots.

Well, I never did get into MLCad or the other LEGO CAD packages... but once I got a digital camera, documentation (for me) became quick and easy. I disassemble in stages, leaving the parts arranged in kind of an "exploded view", and snap pictures at every step. DAZLR is documented as a series of 40 partially redundant digital pictures (I'll probably toss them into my Brickshelf folder at some point, if folks want them).
As to complexity, I would agree this is one of the more complex models out there. My first designs were simple for a reason (i.e. - testing the SW & FW, and figuring out how to build a basic mobile platform). After Brickfest, I'd really like to work on a game-playing NXTbot (Nim at first, then maybe something else).

The perfect way to stay safe and still carry conversations in the car is with the use of a hands-free device. Get the convenience of both with the IVE-W535HD! This unit is equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology so there is no need for any additional adapters.
This unit comes with all that's needed for Bluetooth convenience. The IVE-W535HD comes with a separate microphone which allows for optimal placement in your car and the best possible sound quality. The specially-tuned microphone is engineered to reduce noise interference and feedback.
Now, make and take phone calls conveniently. You can set up your cell phone/head unit to automatically answer your calls. Use the supplied microphone to speak, and then listen through your car's speakers. When a call comes in, your music mutes to carry the phone call. View caller information including caller ID, missed, dialed, and received calls right from the head unit display. If you receive a second call, you can have the first caller wait momentarily by pressing 2 for call waiting mode. Once both calls are finished, the music plays again. This truly makes the transition from your phone calls to music an enjoyable, convenient driving experience. You can even set up presets with your four favorite phone contacts in the IVE-W535HD for quick one-touch access.
To bring sound balance to your Hands-Free experience, you can adjust the IVE-W535HD's mic gain, phone output and ring tone volume. If that's not enough, there are five sound quality settings to choose from to get the balance just right for you. This flexibility will make your phone calls a pleasurable experience.

Alpine does HD. Get all the music and programming you want to hear in a crystal-clear digital format. .The IVE-W535HD has a built-in HD Radio™ tuner, for access to over 2,000 AM and FM stations broadcasting with HD Radio Technology, plus more than 1,300 additional digital-only FM HD2/HD3/HD4 multicast channels. Alpine's exclusive Smart Reception Management keeps you tuned in to your favorite HD digital sub-channels, even when you're in an area with limited digital reception.
Traditional HD Radio equipped tuners will use an auto-switching method when listening to the main & multi-casting channels. It works really well on the main channels, however when listening to a sub-channel, you will be switched back to the main channel if the digital signal is temporarily lost. This interruption can be a frustrating experience to stay engaged on a particular multi-casting channel if the digital signal is weak. Alpine's solution provides Smart Reception Control through the default setting "Digital MC". The Digital MC setting uses a Hybrid method of auto-switching analog and digital on the main channel, and uses all-digital for sub-channels. Alpine's solution keeps you on the channel you desire, resulting in a better overall HD Radio experience.
The IVE-W535HD is enabled for iTunes Tagging so when you hear a song you like, simply press the on-screen [Tag] button that appears below the song information. This iTunes Tagging feature lets you Tag songs you hear on HD Radio stations, Satellite Radio, or analog radio stations and stores the info on your iOS device. The next time you connect your iPod/iPhone to iTunes, you will be able to preview your selections, then purchase and download them directly from iTunes.
Note: Third party services may not be available in all areas; please contact an authorized retailer for coverage in your area.
It's convenient to control your iPod or iPhone in the car – enjoy seamless operation of your iPod/iPhone in addition to full control of all your favorite media sources.

He died without male heirs and was succeeded by his daughter Jane Knyvett, the de jure third holder. However, she never assumed the title. Jane was the wife of Edmund Knyvett. Their grandson, the de jure fourth Baron, obtained a certificate of his right to the title but died before obtaining the King's confirmation. His great-great-grandson Thomas Knyvett, the de jure seventh Baron, sat as a Member of Parliament for Dunwich and Eyre. On his death in 1693 the peerage technically fell into abeyance between his two sisters, Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Glenham, and Katherine, wife firstly of John Harris and secondly of Richard Bokenham.
He died childless and was succeeded by his niece Harriet Tyrwhitt, the twelfth Baroness. She was the daughter of Hon. Robert Wilson, younger son of the tenth Baron, and wife of Sir Henry Thomas Tyrwhitt, 3rd Baronet (see below for earlier history of this title). She was succeeded by her son, the thirteenth Baron. In 1892 he assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Wilson and in 1894 he succeeded his father as fourth Baronet, of Stanley Hall. He never married and was succeeded by his nephew, the fourteenth Baron, who was a writer, painter and composer of classical music. He never married and on his death in 1950 the baronetcy became extinct.
The Heir Apparent is the present holder's son Hon. Rupert William Tyrwhitt Kirkham (b. 18 Feb 1953)

Discuss the note to the TED community on the withdrawal of the TEDxWestHollywood license.
For discussion: http://blog.ted.com/2013/04/01/a-note-to-the-ted-community-on-the-withdrawal-of-the-tedxwesthollywood-license
RJ Thomas
Apr 4 2013: This is an important turning point for the TED community. The debate between good science and bad science is not an open and shut case. Rupert Sheldrake has a long track record and so does many people who I assume are invited to speak at TEDx events. What would be more interesting is to let the community decide i.e. by voting the videos up or down on the TEDx website. In the case where an entire event is cancelled, I expect a rigorous debate like this to take place.
- +13
Steve Stark
Apr 4 2013: I agree fully Ramon. The problem being that nobody from TED will really debate the issue officially. Instead they just keep hanging these pages out there and then paying no heed to the vast majority view. Moreover, the only point made by most of those with TED badges under their name (you being a notable and refreshing exception), is that TED can decide whatever it wants to promote and that's that. Yet nobody is disagreeing with that. The issue being discussed is whether TED's decision was the right one. Yet when this is roundly rejected, nobody from TED will stand up and defend it with anything other than name-calling and patently false claims. Thus many now feel there isn't any genuine debate at all but merely a pointless blog and an already made decision/policy the real reasons for which are not on display and certainly not up for debate.
- +3
Apr 4 2013: TED indeed is paying heed to the vast majority view of TEDx organisers, speakers, attendees and viewers. That's why events like the west holloywood event will not go ahead under the TEDx brand.
Apr 4 2013: Well the vast majority you refer to hasn't been in evidence here or in the previous debates over the last few weeks.Apr 4 2013: And apart from this vast majority's lack of presence on these threads, which is self-evident, wouldn't we need some survey data or something?Apr 4 2013: Well some perspective. TEDx is a media organization with over 1 billion views of it's content. This conversation does not even have 50 participants. The vast majority of TEDx organizers, attendees and viewers probably doesn't even know there IS a debate and even if you were to corner them and force the issue three seconds of checking their credulities before dismissing you is likely all the consideration you will get. TEDx staff on the other hand have taken this debate seriously and have put their best and considerable effort into devining the lines between good science, bad science, pseudoscience and "ideas worth spreading" and those that are not.
http://blog.tedx.com/post/37405280671/a-letter-to-the-tedx-community-on-tedx-and-bad-scienceApr 4 2013: Steve, I'd give you a thumbs up, but TED has disabled that option for me. I wonder what other dirty tricks TED will use in it's failed bid at damage control?
Apr 4 2013: Yeah, I keep getting the response that I can't thumbs up someone who is sharing the same internet connection! You, eg, (and about 3 others) are supposed to be sharing the same internet connection with me.Apr 4 2013: Dear Sandy and Steve,
I also could not give thumbs up today, and got the message that I cannot rate someone sharing the same internet connection.....which, of course, is not the case. No need to get our nickers in a knot....I'm sure it's probably a technical challenge:>)Apr 4 2013: Thanks Colleen, knickers duly untangled.Apr 4 2013: I did send two messages to TED about it, but they haven't answered. It seems rather suspicious that I can thumbs up someone like John, but not you. Almost as if they are trying to manage who gets thumbs up in the conversations now.
EDIT: You're right Colleen. And it seems to be fixed now. (I just wish I could respond to individual posts, like Colleen's).
Apr 4 2013: john needs a few though.Apr 4 2013: hehehehehe....
He hasn't got anything nice to say about TED, so they aren't going to help him out. I'm not sure if he likes anyone or anything.
Apr 4 2013: I actually voted up one of John's comments. It was the one where he mistakenly thought Krisztina 'Z' Holly was having a go at TED and criticised her when, unbeknowst to him, he actually supported with what she had said.
sandy stone
Apr 4 2013: Yes, I've noticed that he does get confused. hehehehe....
- +1
I guess between editing Wikipedia to say what he wants it to, and making sure no one reads Nature articles he doesn't agree with, John has trouble keeping track of everything.
Apr 5 2013: Thanks for the laugh!
Speaking of Wikipedia, there used to be an article on "alternative history", which was deleted and now redirects to pseudoarcheology. This is what passes for neutral point of view now on Wikipedia. As always, the Talk and History pages are a must read on controversial subjects. You get to see who does most of the writing and how they think.
Jess Boldt
Apr 3 2013: Personally, I believe that TED has every right to withdraw speakers or events as they see fit. It's their brand and they have a right to manage it. But where things get sticky, from my point of view, is when they discredit speakers, many with impecable credentials, as a way to justify their actions. It's brand management gone wild. It seems obvious that TED has an opinion in the debate of reductive materialism. Let's face it. You don't give James Randi (a man with 0 scientific credentials and a sketchy history of bending the truth, and supporter social Darwnism) the stage while decrying the presence of Dr. Sheldrake without making a bold statement of what your brand supports. If TED wants to be a mouth piece for the James Randis and Michael Shermers of the world, fine. That is their right. But they should be ashamed by dragging others through the mud to justify their actions. Or at least do the proper thing and facilitate a public debate. Let the public decide, or at least be exposed to some differing ideas on either side. Is it censorship? I suppose it could fit the definition, but why get hung up on that word? Maybe hostile brand management is a better term. I don't know. But it seems obvious TED is having trouble owning up to their position, which is a shame. It's not the character one would expect from a venue touting out the brand of open dialogue and exciting ideas.
- +10
Apr 3 2013: Awesome post. These are questions to ask over and over again over the next 12 days. TED did publish a letter to all TEDx organisers on recognizing bad science, http://blog.tedx.com/post/37405280671/a-letter-to-the-tedx-community-on-tedx-and-bad-science , so there is at least one public statement of their thinking.
Katie McClymont
Apr 3 2013: Chris Anderson: '...We're all committed to open enquiry. But also to appropriate skepticism. Those two things can occasionally conflict. And when they do, we make our best judgement...'
- +10
Chris, are you aware, you are censoring scientists (Targ, Dossey, Sheldrake, Schlitz, etc.) who have conducted proper long-term scientific lab research while allowing TED speakers such as James Randi, Michael Shermer, etc. talking upon subjects they are completely unqualified to comment upon since their research is unscientific and practically non-existent!
Apr 3 2013: Censoring?
sandy stone
Apr 3 2013: Yes, it is censorship. I know you've skirted around the issue by pretending that it isn't *really* censorship, but you are editing what the public is allowed to see for all intensive purposes.
- +3
Do you really think censorship is the way to promote TED as the place for sharing ideas? Are Jerry Coyne's ideas the only ideas worth spreading now?
Russell Targ's research was published in Nature, one of the most mainstream forums for scientific work there is. And he was singled out by TED as somehow inappropriate. It's hard to imagine that work published in Nature back in the 1970's is far too advanced for TED.
Apr 3 2013: do you have a blog? because i have an article and i want to publish it on your blog. if no, facebook page will suffice.
Lewis Smart
Apr 3 2013: What you are doing is somewhat similar to soft censorship. Soft censorships is generally thought of as something that governments do, but in a world where NGOs and transnational corporations hold increasing power, I believe the term can be applied to actions by organisations who are taking over roles traditionally held by governments.
- +5
Censorship in the book burning sense can not exist in a world that has an open and free internet. Either the word becomes archaic or it's meaning changes to suit the new situation.
Dave Troy
Apr 2 2013: TED has taken appropriate action in this case. The language used to market the event was not compatible with TED's branding, ethos, or values. For this reason alone it was appropriate to revoke the license.
- +10
What people keep forgetting is that TED has no obligation to lend its brand to any event, or to publish any idea at all. TED has reserved the discretion to decide what content it wishes to associate with its brand. Those who disagree with its decisions should go start their own media companies and conferences that can highlight whatever ideas they like.
As an organizer of a major TEDx event (TEDxMidAtlantic) I appreciate the steps that TED is taking to defend its brand from fringe ideas and pseudoscience. Our team puts substantial effort into our event, and frankly, I don't want our hard work to be associated with a brand that would have sanctioned an event like the proposed TEDxWestHollywood.
You can say that I am closed-minded or not open to radical ideas — but you'd be wrong. I love a good romp through radical ideas as much as the next person. But I also know the difference between science and fantasy, and between rationality and imagination. The fact is that fringe, unproven, propositional ideas don't belong at TED.
If that comes as a disappointment to some, so be it. Perhaps you thought TED was something it is not. Ideally, those sufficiently let down will launch their own media company that lends its brand to practitioners of fantastical pseudoscience. Indeed: irrational conjectures worth contemplating.
Phil Klein
Apr 2 2013: Thank you for stating these key points so clearly.Apr 2 2013: @Dave
- +1
The problem with what you say is that you appear privy to knowledge nobody in the scientific community has. That is, as it stands the evidence for psi is perplexing - nobody can explain it. And yet you seem to think it is imaginary, or a fantasy. Interested to hear how you arrived rationally at this conclusion. It seems to me your views are very anti-science.
Since you agree, I would also be interested in hearing how the "truths" espoused by Dave were reveled to you.
Apr 2 2013: Steve — I claim no knowledge of that topic, and don't think it's the issue at hand. I think the marketing for the event was unclear, poorly written and reflected negatively on the TED brand. The fact that TED could not resolve efforts to clarify the branding with the organizers was sufficient cause to revoke the license.
Apr 2 2013: You do claim knowledge. You talked of things being imaginary, and fantastical pseudoscience, and irrational conjectures. How do you know these things?Apr 2 2013: No, I don't claim knowledge, and please do not attempt to draw me into a discussion of parapsychology, because I won't participate in it.
What I said was that a curatorial direction which was based on a specious and poorly written theme was likely to include presentations which would fall into those categories.
Apr 2 2013: Well now it's far from clear what you're actually talking about. Indeed, your initial post now seems to fall within the realm of uninformed and irrational conjecture.Apr 2 2013: No. I said that the marketing materials were badly written, didn't make any sense, and were off-base for the TED brand — and sufficient cause alone for the revocation of the license.
Apr 2 2013: You said much much more than that. If that was all you had said I should have said nothing about it, but it wasn't so I did.Apr 2 2013: Yes, Steve, I wrote more words. Those words are my opinions. However, my opinions were not necessary to justify the single sufficient reason for the revocation of the license.
Therefore, attacking my opinions doesn't change the fact that revoking the license was justified.
Apr 2 2013: I didn't really attack them - I was simply perplexed by their oddity and suggested a problem which I thought required clarification. Clarification you don't want to provide it seems. Fair enough.Apr 2 2013: I agree TEDx can lend it's branding to whoever it chooses and I understand TED's largest audience is people like you, but you are not TEDx's only audience, Rupert Sheldrake's video has 200,000 views and they are TEDx customers with an opinion too, not just you. And yes, people can create their own events to present their own ideas, it's already being done, one poster rather hopeful at the possibility,
"perhaps exTED will become a badge of honour for future events rather than TEDx?
and eventually a bigger organisation than the lack-lustre lackeys of TED?
or maybe just BETTER THAN TED for openness, honesty and
see, already some ideas are happening to improve on the TEDx platform - "BETTER THAN TED for openness, honesty and truth" Like it? :)
Apr 2 2013: I love it, Gary! I hope that happens. However, the TED brand is a registered trademark, and could not legally be used in this context.
I suggest that whoever wants to embark on this come up with fresh and original branding, and create a brand that stands for ALL ideas, no matter their provenance, "reality-status," or focus.
The notion that TED should not spawn competition (or should be scared of it) is patently ludicrous. Go forth and compete! Build an audience around whatever ideas YOU enjoy!
Apr 2 2013: Thanks
John Hoopes
Apr 2 2013: Dave writes, "Ideally, those sufficiently let down will launch their own media company that lends its brand to practitioners of fantastical pseudoscience. Indeed: irrational conjectures worth contemplating."
- +3
Of course, it will have to compete with several media enterprises that already exist, including:
Coast-to-Coast AM
21st Century Radio
Unknown Country
Gnostic Media
Reality Sandwich
Prison Planet
Perhaps the individuals clamoring for "alternative" ideas on TED feel that there is already too much competition for a new brand ("CRED"?) to be viable in an already overtaxed marketplace of fringe ideas. Perhaps they want to avoid the ideas that they think are worth spreading from being tainted by association with other ideas that they themselves identify as not worth spreading. Despite the clamoring for TED to get into the realms of pseudoscience and pseudohistory (oops, "science" and "history"), the fact is that there is a plethora of other outlets for these ideas that, quite frankly, have little credibility and are just not worth spreading.
Apr 2 2013: Agreed. Thanks for making my point crystal clear.
John Hoopes
Apr 2 2013: For what it's worth, Sheldrake, Hancock, and most of the West Hollywood speakers have been featured already on most of the websites listed. They have no lack of venues.
- +2
Sheldrake on Coast-to-Coast
Hancock on Coast-to-Coast
Taylor on Coast-to-Coast
Targ on Coast-to-Coast
Dossey on Coast-to-Coast
Williamson on Coast-to-Coast
Schlitz on Coast-to-Coast
http://www.coasttocoastam.com/guest/schlitz-marilyn/5888Apr 2 2013: Very telling. What they lack is the imprimatur of a mainstream outlet, which I imagine they sought to obtain in TED.
From a practical standpoint, if a speaker has been featured in any of these venues that's a very good sign that they should not be featured by TED or TEDx.
Apr 2 2013: I think the legitimizing imprimatur is exactly what they seek. We've had fringe speakers invited to speak at my university (including pseudoscientific guests I've asked to make presentations in my course on critical thinking) who later tout that as evidence that their ideas have been blessed by the academy. It's a problem.
I predict you'll get a lot of hate mail for that last sentence. There are a few babies in that bathwater, but just a few.Apr 3 2013: Either you are with us or you are with the...pseudoscientists? To believe in the reality of psi phenomena does not force one to believe in *everything* presented on those shows you mentioned, or even in this field of science. Oh yes, it is science. Even if there is bad science in it and frauds underway. This is also the case in other areas of research. But this is an area that deserves and gets some (underfunded) true scientific research. Which underfunding may also drive researchers towards seeking money from other sources, like going to the public.Apr 5 2013: This is getting ridiculous.
If "Ideas worth spreading" exist exclusively in the scientific method, then I'm off.
Science is the servant of the imagination - not the master. Science will just disappear up its own fundamental orifice, if it carries on like this. And I'm afraid to say, so will TED if it doesn't change its idea of what it is that's worth spreading.
Open up, for God's sake. Sheldrake and Hancock are working hard at the cutting edge of science. Just because their work often shuns the stagnating boredom and safety of certainty, doesn't mean there's no outstanding value in it.
One has to put up with the inconveniences of being wrong, sometimes several times, in order to arrive at a cutting-edge 'right'. Most great scientists were great because they had the courage and determination to doubt conventional 'certainties' to arrive at new hypotheses and theories.
Dare to embrace imagination and creativity - and dare to be wrong. That's where the cutting-edge lies.
Apr 5 2013: *Very* funny, and true, Allan Macdougall. I'm going to use one of your phrases.Apr 1 2013: I am grateful and very appreciative of your efforts to look out for TED's focus which in turn shows respect for your presenters, attendees and followers...this is specially significant for me because I am a teacher and often play your conferences for my highschool students...your neutral, informative focus works exceptionally well in class since it opens their minds to the infinite possibilities around them...Thanks and much luck, Alexandra
Apr 2 2013: Neutral? Opens their minds to infinite possibilities? Shows respect for your presenters?
By removing talks of scientists with lab evidence? Specifically, why do you think these talks should have been removed?Apr 7 2013: TED might as well start deciding on what is really art or whether people should carry out radical ideas because some group or other thinks that it shouldn't be done, such as make use of solar energy or teach women to be entrepreneurs because it isn't the proper behavior in their culture. I am ashamed of TED for its decision in this matter. Maybe Lister was a pseudoscientist because he thought there were germs that were killing patients who were operated on.Apr 4 2013: TED has made its position clear: videos like Richard Dawkin's "Militant Atheism" contain "ideas worth spreading," while the videos of people engaged in scientific inquiry like Larry Dossey and Rupert Sheldrake do not.
It's become clear also that TED doesn't have a good sense of fair play or interest in discussion. Anonymous members of its science board get to veto any video that comes along without listing specific criticisms or coming forward to identify themselves and debate.
So this is a platform for dogmatic materialism, mechanistic medicine, and militant atheism, but not scientific inquiry.
That is fine with me. It is a free country, and there is plenty of room for militant atheists, dogmatic materialists, and others who like to blur the line between myth and science.Apr 3 2013: There are several issues that get jumbled in these conversations. TED can sanction whatever it wants, BUT to yank my event, with no warning, a little more than two weeks before it was to go, is wrong from all perspectives. We have no money from TED, although when this stuck pig squealed there was talk about reimbursing "sunk costs" – i.e. money we've already expended. We're told the "policy" is no money that would allow the event to proceed. So, my pocket or no event. And TED has ceased communicating about financial reimbursement. We were sponsored, selling tickets, and ready to roll when we lost sponsorship, had to refund ticket money to a TEDx event, and must take money out of our pockets to deliver to what becomes a questionably-sized live stream audience without TED's promotional help.
TED could have avoided ALL of the trouble by following its own stated practices. A mentor is supposed to come with the territory – what the 160 page manual says will be available. As we were diligent in following what was clear in the manual, we asked – begged – for someone to help us. All sorts of things come up that the manual doesn't account for, and our job would have been made easier and more efficient with a TED hand to hold that could have steered us off any wrong course we were perceived to be on. Our emails to people in our area, who seem to show up as helpful in the vague ethers that float around, haven't even been returned, and there was no TED help to find someone. We were on our own to conceive our program, and almost all questions we tried to run by TED weren't answered. So, look what happened. I'm not saying anything about what we, on our own, came up with – about how first-rate our program is – but let's get TED's culpability on the table. This dialogue could have been avoided had TED minded its own store, which also would have helped us in this monumental volunteer project we took on.
Apr 3 2013: Just to play devil's advocate Suzanne,you may get a comment akin to this - you say "our job would have been made easier and more efficient with a TED hand to hold that could have steered us off any wrong course," and yet TED says they held talks with you from December 2012. TED is a non-profit organization, they have to run a tight ship, surely TED's decisions on answering, (what sounds like numerous from you), emails are a matter of TEDx, either formally or imformally, ranking it's importance for action and dealing with it accordingly. What sort of emails were you sending and how many did you send!? You sound needy, can't you make an executive decision? because surely TED did answer the IMPORTANT questions, the ones that may affect their choice on their invovlement with the West Hollywood event.
Apr 4 2013: I'm just sayin'. Some good steers for TED here. A mentor from day one should be essential. The number one thing that would improve everything the most. Newbies are adrift in a sea of requirements. To get what TED wants it's elemental there needs to be better assistance. What TED was for us was speed-bumps on our path,
Do you want to stick with me sounding needy? Doesn't sound nice. Nor does your certainty about what you don't know.
Apr 4 2013: No,I do support you, just a trial run for you in science debating
Time Walker
Apr 4 2013: Here's what I don't understand. Maybe I missed it, but if TED has been holding talks with Suzanne and West Hollywood since 12/12, how did they not know they needed to pull the plug until late March? And why only since 12/12, if this has been under development for nearly a year.
- +4
It just seems like this decision came awfully late in the game and is suspiciously timed, given what immediately preceded it.Apr 4 2013: This debacle is of your own making, and could have been avoided by you not trying to use the TED brand to promote pseudoscience.

Apr 4 2013: Again your logical fallacy is, these discussions have generated record interest.
Why ignore the subject if its clearly such an important one? Or are you determined not to look at any perspective but your own?
Nate Mook
Apr 2 2013: Dave's point below sums up my feelings. But one point worth adding:
- +8
Although I'm sure Larry Dossey and Rupert Sheldrake relish in playing victim here (as evidenced by Larry's post below) because they will get more attention to their work, speakers were not "singled out" here. It was the overall theme and approach of TEDxWestHollywood that drew concern, and TED did not simply make an immediate decision - they consulted with the organizer and could not find a mutually agreeable path forward. The event will still go on under a different branding, and nobody's work is being censored.
As Dave said, TED is under no obligation to license its brand out, and if it has concerns about an event's program, it very much should discuss with the organizer and revoke the license if necessary. For the long-term good of the TEDx community and ensuring some level of quality in an open system, I'm really pleased with TED's approach here. Moreover, they were transparent about the process and reasoning behind the decision.
Kudos to Lara Stein and the TED team for standing up for the rest of the TEDx community and making a tough decision.
Gary Dudding
Apr 2 2013: Nate Mook says: Although I'm sure Larry Dossey and Rupert Sheldrake relish in playing victim here (as evidenced by Larry's post below)"
- +2
What? Larry's playing victim? Could you explain the evidence you're presenting?
"perhaps exTED will become a badge of honour for future events rather than TEDx?
and eventually a bigger organisation than the lack-lustre lackeys of TED?
or maybe just BETTER THAN TED for openness, honesty and
Nate Mook
Apr 2 2013: I was specifically referring to this comment from Larry, which yes, claims that TED is attacking him personally:
- +1
"I can add my name to those of Rupert Sheldrake and Graham Hancock as speakers who find themselves in TEDx's crosshairs."Apr 2 2013: Wow Nate, saying that really screams victim. An unfortunate use of language maybe, but hardly screaming victim. Anyways I reread his post, I see now now it is full of vitriol and hard feelings end to end (sarcasm).Apr 1 2013: Thank you, Lara, for taking this difficult step to protect the integrity of TED and TEDx!
In doing so, you are defending not only an important brand, but the work of thousands of TEDx organizers around the world. We put our hearts and souls into this movement and feel partial ownership of it. It's the values of TEDx, upheld by important decisions like these, that makes it all worthwhile.
With much appreciation,
Apr 2 2013: Hearts and souls? Surely you mean biological brains with no souls, for all TED have done is to listen to political pressure groups who are opposing evidence for phenomena that doesn't neatly fit their world view.
Ellen Feig
Apr 1 2013: I normally don't weigh in on these issues as I trust the TEDx team to make the appropriate decision. However, I want to commend Lara and her team for acting responsibly and removing the license. As an educator, I use TED videos almost daily in my classroom; my students have come to expect quality, authenticity and interesting views without any commercial aspect. As a TEDx organizer, I have made clear to my presenters that I will not allow any of the TEDx rules to be violated and ask to see their presentations, including visuals, ahead of time. While it is nice to want to have a specific theme at a TEDx, the reality is that we have signed a license willingly with full knowledge of what is in the agreement. As with any legal agreement, TEDx has every right to hold us to the terms of that agreement. It bothers me when commentators argue this is censorship as it is not - like any branded organization TED has a responsiblity to its viewers/users to uphold the brand and as organizers we have the same.
- +8
Apr 2 2013: As an educator, are you educated on the actual scientific experimental lab research of those TED has decided to remove without valid reason?
If this is all about branding and nothing to do with experimental evidence (which Targ, Sheldrake, Schlitz and others being censored have) then TED is merely adopting a prejudiced branding.
Comment deleted
Apr 5 2013: Thanks Debbie, I couldn't agree more
Time Walker
Apr 5 2013: "Among other things, the language must not be spiritual. This is a powerful form of censorship."
- +4
It's a powerful form of censorship and would eliminate some of the greatest minds in the history of science. Einstein? Gone. As Sheldrake points out, he would also not have qualified for TED because of his lack of scholarly credentials when he did some of his greatest work.
Albert Einstein ~ "The most beautiful and most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness."
Maxim Godart
Apr 4 2013: I have never heard of Sheldrake nor Hancock before. Never heard of most the TED and TEDx speakers either before i heard of them. I like ideas though, especially when they can help us push our personal and collective understanding of who we are and what surrounds us. Does materialism and spiritualism are so exclusive that one has to reject the other to embrace one fully? The one who can say that god does not exist and science can and should explain everything is a fool. The one who says that god does exist and he alone is the maker of all things is a fool. But why bother debating? What is the risk of opening up to unconventional scientific ideas? How one defines progress? Where does it start?
- +7
Not long ago questioning our beliefs in the irrefutability of the effectiveness of antibiotics and the inability of microbes to adapt to environmental threats and affirming that these will result in what we know now would have been considered pseudo-science. Perhaps allowing to question our beliefs and foundations of such system of beliefs should be allowed more often, and TED has been that vehicle for a long time, hasn't it?
Here is a good example (I think): microbes do communicate with one another. No, they react chemically to change. Well, they do, but taken outside our body and individually, this phenomena cannot be replicated. The human microbiome contributes some 8 million unique protein-coding genes or 360 times more bacterial genes than human genes. But if you suppress (in an unhealthy individual) say 20% of the 10,000 different microorganisms that make our body (note that we use to say inhabit), they will only contribute to 4 million pcgs. An old Indian from the Amazon would have told you that. And perhaps the great vine would have taught him that. What's wrong with that?

This economical semi-automatic CO2 injection system is ideal for keeping plants lush and green in planted freshwater aquariums up to 200 gallons. Assembly is easy, and in no time your system will inject CO2 into your aquarium and automatically shut off at night when your plants start to take in oxygen. You need only monitor CO2 levels and add buffers when necessary. CO2 bottle not included. NOW COMES WITH A DURABLE CERAMIC CO2 DIFFUSER - NOT GLASS AS PICTURED.
System includes: CO2 Pressure Regulator with solenoid, Timer, ISTA Mini Ceramic Cone CO2 Diffuser, Bubble Counter with built-in check valve, 20 feet of Silicone Tubing.
Please click on "More Information" for system assembly instructions.
This system will help your plants grow and flourish by replenishing CO2 levels in your planted freshwater aquarium. CO2 will also help stabilize pH in your aquarium. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain the proper CO2 levels. Factors controlling the pH level in your aquarium include the amount of minerals present in the aquarium water (alkalinity) and the concentration of CO2 (acidity). Excess CO2 levels can lower the pH level dramatically and severely stress your fish. By adding an appropriate amount of CO2 to your aquarium (a level which you must determine by regularly monitoring water parameters), this system helps stabilize your water pH. If you achieve the desired CO2 level but your pH remains high, you can reduce the alkalinity by performing small water changes using mineral-free water that has been purified by reverse osmosis or distillation.
Please note: Because light is integral to photosynthesis and the creation of oxygen, your plants will stop using CO2 when aquarium lights turn off. Instead, they will start producing CO2. To avoid harmful CO2 overdose and harmful drop in pH levels, do not add CO2 to your aquarium when aquarium lights are off.
System components:
Additional tools/supplies you'll need:
If you need assistance with system assembly or use, please feel free to contact our Aquatic Technicians at 1-800-443-1160.
Putting your system together:
Setting your system timer:
Please note: If your aquarium lights aren't already on a timer, we recommend adding one so your light cycle and CO2 system cycle occur simultaneously.
Once you've successfully connected your CO2 regulator, bubble counter, and diffuser, you're ready to set the system's operation to coincide with your aquarium's lighting cycle. After you've set your system timer (see below), simply plug your pressure regulator into the timer outlet, and plug the timer into a nearby wall outlet. To set the included timer, turn the dial to the current time, push down the tabs for the hours you want your system to be on, and slide the timer's override switch to "AUTO." The timer will automatically shut off the CO2 system when your lights go off, provided that you specify the correct "lights out" time.
Starting your system:
To start your CO2 system, make sure it's plugged in (ideally, perform this step during the "lights on" phase of your timer setting), and adjust the output of the CO2 needle valve so you can start counting bubbles flowing through your bubble counter. As a general rule, 1-2 bubbles per second should be adequate.
Monitoring CO2 levels:
To determine the ideal level of CO2 for your aquarium, monitor pH, alkalinity, and CO2 levels in your aquarium using a quality test kit. Adjust the CO2 output as necessary until levels are safe/adequate.
As always, if you have any questions, please contact us at 1-800-443-1160

Westboro Baptist Church has been irritating Americans for years with venom filled message about their demented version of God. According to the many closely related and intermarried members of the Phelps family who make up the majority of the congregation of the so-called church, God enjoys killing children and soldiers. They constantly proclaim God hates homosexuals and plans to destroy America for not following the Westboro Baptist Church's twisted version of Christianity. The incredible obsession with homosexuality expressed by Fred and family seems to many as a sure fire case of "thou dost protest too much."
Anonymous has been after the Westboro Baptist Church for several months now, hacking their websites repeatedly. Recently, they accused the church of creating a fake letter from the hacking group in order to trick other hackers into attacking the website. Anonymous warned their supporters the church planned to harvest internet addresses and sue people. Suing people is apparently the primary activity of the Westboro Baptist Church when they aren't screaming hate at funerals.
Of course, Westboro denied the charges and taunted Anonymous as incompetent hackers. They claimed their website was protected by God. Big mistake. A few days later, while a Westboro spokeswoman was boasting about how the church foiled Anonymous on a radio talk show, an Anonymous spokesman called in and hacked the church's website in real time on the air.
Hopefully saner heads will prevail and nothing terrible will occur if the Westboro Baptist Church shows up in Newtown, Connecticut. The State Police made the extraordinary decision to assign a trooper to each of the victim's families to prevent unwelcome idiots from tormenting them and to protect their privacy.
It is hard to imagine what kind of person would attend the funerals for these children and promote the hate filled message of the Phelps family and their followers. While we certainly do not condone illegal activity, it is hard not to root for Anonymous as they take it to these sad, pathetic excuses for human beings from the Westboro Baptist Church. If the Church's website is offline forever, it wouldn't be a moment too soon for most Americans.
UPDATE 4:00 am CST
A few minutes after the original commentary was published, The Inquisitr received an email from a sender who claimed to represent Anonymous. The email is similar in content to many other "official" Anonymous emails and we decided to share it with our readers. The email included the following statement:
Just hacked Westboro's site. Freedom of speech is one thing. But freedom to hate is another. A domain such as "godhatesfags.com should not exist despite rumblings of members picketing Sandy Hook. Those families have enough anguish to deal with
The conflict between Anonymous and the Westboro Baptist Church is building to a fever pitch and judging from the multitude of reader comments on several prominent social media websites, the public strongly supports Anonymous by a ninety nine to one majority.
