Wikipedia entry for Tony Robinson wrote:Robinson and his former wife Mary Shepherd were active in Bristol Labour politics from the early 1980s.
From 1996 to 2000, he was vice-president of the actors' union Equity, helping with a huge restructuring programme which turned a £500,000 deficit into a small surplus. He continues to work within Equity. In 2000 he was elected to the Labour Party's National Executive Committee, a position he held to 2004.
He was also active in the "Make Poverty History" campaign during early 2005, in the lead-up to the G8 summit in Scotland, and is the patron for UK-based charity Street Child Africa.
In March 2011, Robinson participated in the 'March for the Alternative' protests in Central London, which opposed the Conservative led Coalition UK Government's spending cuts programme

Thanks for that, Mad. I hadn't known that about him, and now I like the guy even more than before. Just wish he'd stop reading the audiobooks though.
"I agree with you. Planer can do Captain (Sir) Vime like no other, and Nanny Ogg! Perfect! Corporal Detritus also. I don't know. I guess it is just a matter of getting used to Briggs."

We used to listen in the car a lot while travelling, and it was very noticeable that Tony Robinson's volume veered all over the place. I thought this was because he wasn't an actor, but Celia Imrie is, isn't she? Anyway, it's not a good style for a talking book. Nigel Planer was better on every front, I'm sorry to hear he's stopped doing it. I haven't neard Stephen Briggs except at the last TP Con we went to - he sounded good, but I haven't heard him do a book.

Simply remove your ECU from your car and safely box it up and attach UPS label.. Drop off at any UPS facility.. We will get your ECU the next day and flash it with GIAC software.. We box it back up and ship it back to you via UPS NEXT DAY shipping.. Re-install your ECU and enjoy your new found Horsepower!! So if you remove your ECU Monday and ship it out.. we flash it with GIAC on Tuesday and ship it back.. you will have your ECU back on Wednesday. By using Next Day Air shipping the down time is drastically reduced!
GIAC performance software for the 2005 - 2001 Golf ® /Jetta ® w/ K04-020 Turbo
Upgrade smoothly delivers up to 300 hp & 300 ft-lbs. at the crank. For optimum
performance the software MUST be coupled with . Required
Programs available:
The above programs can be ordered in any combination you wish. Switching
between them can be done via the GIAC Handheld switcher.
Why GIAC?
1. GIAC has the most experience of any US tuner reprogramming Bosch Motronic.
GIAC reprograms Audi/VW/Porsche/BMW/Mercedes/Fiat/Citroen destined for both US
and German markets.
2. GIAC only writes ECU software and does not lose R&D time on developing
exhausts, suspension, turbo kits, air filters, etc.
3. GIAC takes a base program from a new ECU (starting in their computer lab,
using five dedicated networked computers) and completely disassembles out
important functions using extremely complex engineering software. This is the
same software used for the development of these ECUs by the manufacturer. When
needed, GIAC emulates in real time with a professional engineering emulator,
which allows 6 bit triggering and the ability to capture virtually any event
while they run an ECU on a workbench.
4. GIAC then takes that source code and loads it into GIAC proprietary
software "SHW version 8.02", where they can correctly modify any settings in the
ECU. This makes GIAC different because they do not use commercial chip modifying
software which can radically limit the tuning freedom needed to make a factory
quality program. With a factory quality product, you will get silky smooth
performance with stable power. GIAC can rewrite the code in SHW to modify
5. GIAC designs and engineers in house all of their own printed circuit
boards for encryption using advanced CAD software. They also write all of their
own programs for encryption. This allows GIAC to get product to market much
faster for a large variety of cars. It also protects GIAC software from
increasingly common piracy found in the industry today. GIAC encrypts all of
their chips to protect the cutting edge programming techniques they use.
6. GIAC's close ties with Bosch Gmbh ensures that their chips are state of
the art.
Why consider anything else?
Please visit the GIAC
homepage for even further information on GIAC and their state of the art
technology. Their recent success in getting the legendary Porsche 959 to pass
Federal emissions standards qualifies them as the industry leader.
Upgrade Policy: We will provide free lifetime upgrades
to GIAC chip users who have purchased the chip directly from us (Urotuning does
charge a $25 flash fee to current customers, a $50 flash fee is charged to
customers that had their GIAC installed by another dealer). Upgrades apply to
current versions of the same type of chip. There are no upgrade paths for
certain chips, such as for larger turbo packages. However, we do have discounts
available for all GIAC chip users when purchasing a complete larger turbo kit
from us. Please inquire about discounts or with any questions you may have
regarding this policy. Also please note that all GIAC chips advertised on
this site are for US spec vehicles unless stated otherwise.
NOTE: This software is also available to be installed locally at the UroTuning facility in Tampa Florida for $500. Call us to setup an appointment at 813-444-7021

Former students paying it forward
Mike Spencer and Parker Jasper aren't business owners paying it forward.
They're simply two former Temecula students who've shared Little League dugouts and mechanical engineering classes at Cal Poly Pomona who've decided that even the smallest amount of giving can help high school graduates embarking on college careers.
That was certainly the case nearly 15 years ago when the Citizens' Scholarship Foundation of Temecula Valley help put Spencer and Jasper on a path toward becoming project engineers at a local firm conducting aerospace testing.
"For me it was a big confidence booster that somebody believed in me enough that they wanted to give me money to go to school to amount to something," said Jasper, 31. "It's a shot in the arm."
One that the Citizens' Scholarship Foundation of Temecula Valley -- a Dollars for Scholars affiliate -- has been administering for more than 25 years.
The foundation awarded more than $160,000 in scholarships to 256 students graduates from Temecula Valley, Chaparral, Great Oak, Rancho Vista and Susan B. Nelson high schools last year and has delivered more than $1.7 million in financial assistance over the last 10 years to graduating students, some of whom have returned to Southwest County to add to the cause.
"That's my favorite part -- watching kids who have received these scholarships not just return to Temecula to work but also give back," said Barbie Borgeson, the foundation's president. "All of our donors are special, but seeing young professionals give back is really rewarding."
Scholarships range from $250 up to a $2,000 award that the Roripaugh Family Foundation renews four years for students completing applications and essays, with this year's giving culminating April 29 at Great Oak High School.
That ceremony, of course, is the kicker for Spencer and Jasper, who've donated scholarships the last four years after they were chosen for scholarships totaling about $1,000 nearly 15 years ago.
It certainly made buying books easier on their wallet.
"That was the eye-opener for me," said the 31-year-old Spencer, a 1999 graduate of Temecula Valley. "The first quarter it was like $700 just for textbooks, and I started asking other people, 'Hey, do you guys have a Citizens' Scholarship Foundation in your community to help?' Everyone was like, 'No, we didn't get anything.'
"I was like, 'Wow, that's pretty neat that they do that.'"
After playing on Little League all-stars teams as kids, Spencer and Jasper reconnected in Cal Poly Pomona engineering classes after Jasper graduated from Chaparral in 2000. Years later after Spencer finished his degree and landed a job at Murrieta-based Innovative Engineering Solutions, the two bumped into each other at Perris Valley Speedway where Spencer was competing on an open-wheel dirt racing circuit.
Spencer eventually helped Jasper land a job at his firm. Not long after that, Spencer learned that Temecula's scholarship foundation was having trouble finding donors like his grandfather -- whose local machine company awarded Jasper one of his scholarships.
"Parker and I were at lunch when I thought, 'Why, don't we do one?'" Spencer said.

Capturing a near-Earth asteroid and dragging it into orbit around the moon could help humanity put boots on Mars someday, proponents of the idea say.
NASA is considering a $2.6 billion asteroid-retrieval mission that could deliver a space rock to high lunar orbit by 2025 or so, New Scientist reported last week. The plan could help jump-start manned exploration of deep space, carving out a path to the Red Planet and perhaps even more far-flung destinations, its developers maintain.
"Experience gained via human expeditions to the small returned NEA would transfer directly to follow-on international expeditions beyond the Earth-moon system: to other near-Earth asteroids, [the Mars moons] Phobos and Deimos, Mars and potentially someday to the main asteroid belt," the mission concept team, which is based at the Keck Institute for Space Studies in California, wrote in a feasibility study of the plan last year.
In the Keck plan, an unmanned probe would snag a 25-foot-wide (7 meters) near-Earth asteroid, then haul it back to lunar orbit for future study and exploration.
Its developers see the mission as a way for humanity to get a toehold beyond low-Earth orbit, allowing our species to hone techniques and acquire skills that manned missions to more distant destinations will require.
Space agency officials confirm that NASA is indeed looking at the Keck proposal as a way to help extend humanity's footprint out into the solar system. But the assessment is still in its early stages, with nothing decided yet.

If you ever wanted to really get to know a Ford E-Series van, better hurry. Because after a long — check that, absurdly long — run, it's finally retirement time for America's most famous and most geriatric hauler; take a bow, you body-on-frame, mostly V-8 people mover. It's so old it always looks like it's starring in some '70s Quinn Martin production or an episode of Dragnet.
When the former Econoline receives a gold watch for service at the end of the 2013 model year, Ford will finally begin building for the American market the unibody Transit van they sell in Europe and around the world. It's a big deal, and although many of us can't help holding a sentimental, snuggly soft spot for the Econoline, the cue for this old stager to shuffle off comes not a nanosecond too soon.

Philips ArmaDuo iPhone case double downs on protection
Philips has announced a new range of iPhone 4 cases designed for the super clumsy.
The ArmaDuo (yes it is a play on the word armadillo) offers so much protection that it's actually two iPhone cases in one according to Philips.
In reality, the mix and match system, which comes in a range of garish colours from orange to bright pink, has bonus marketing words like Edge Defense and Shock Stop to make sure that all is right in the world when you send your iPhone plummeting to its doom.
Expected out in the next couple of months the cases do add some bulk to your phone, but will mean that your phone will be protected when you drop it, well that's the idea anyway.

I am curious as I am currently using functions exclusively in my webpages. The MVC pattern is very interesting, and I know Code Igniter utilizes classes which works very well. I want to be able to keep my code as clean as possible, and I thought about trying to move my functions into classes.
Currently I am separating the files by logic, so I have functions that output the html with arguments that pass any dynamic content, and the functions which handle the user input. I also have functions that interact with the database. I require and include the necessary files between them. As one can tell, there are a lot of arguments being passed around. So that leads me to wanting to try a style of OOP in PHP that I can do the same without having any html inside of the actual class.
I really don't want to hear anything about frameworks as the point is to learn and incorporate these ideas into my own website. That being said, I am fairly new at web development, so I do not understand the many different styles in setting up the logic of websites.
I would like to get some insight on how to best clean up my code in OOP?
EDIT: It is fairly obvious people have strong feelings about frameworks. So I decided to make this very clear; MY WEBSITE IS A PROJECT FOR LEARNING. I WISH ONLY TO LEARN FROM IT. THEREFORE I do not wish to use a framework as it makes more sense for me to learn how it all works before making my life easier and actually use a framework. A FRAMEWORK FOR MORE ROBUSTS PROJECTS. Thank you.

You remember the Twinkie Defense? It was a term of ridicule coined by reporters covering the 1979 San Francisco murder trial of county supervisor Dan White. The right-wing White had assassinated both fellow supervisor Harvey Milk, a heroic figure in San Francisco's gay community, and Mayor George Moscone. Lawyers for White claimed that he overdosed on Twinkies, and was acting under the delusional influence of a sugar high.
Now, there is a new Twinkie Defense, and it is equally shameless and delusional. The Twinkie Defense is: the unions made us do it.
For those who missed it, having perhaps spent the weekend on Jupiter, the iconic Twinkie brand is on the verge of extinction. The parent company of America's beloved junk food, Hostess Brands, has been in bankruptcy since January 2012.
In the bankruptcy proceeding, management has been leaning on the unions to go along with massive pay and benefit cuts to "save the company." The bakers' union, the largest at Hostess, voted by a 92-percent margin to reject the company's demand for an immediate 8 percent pay cut. This came on top of $110 million in pay concessions given by the unions the last time Hostess was in bankruptcy.
The company and the financial press have spun this story as the makers of Twinkies going out of business because of excessive labor costs. But here's the real story.
Hostess Brands is classic case of private equity engineers and executives looting a viable company, loading it up with debt, and then asking the employees to make up the difference.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the pre-existing company went on a buying spree, picking up some of America' s most famous brands. It paid $330 million for Hostess. The company, then known as Interstate Bakery Holdings, was taken private in 1987, then went public again in 1991. At each step of the way, middlemen and insiders captured windfalls.
In 1995, Interstate bought Continental from Ralston Purina, giving it ownership of the precious Twinkie, as well as Ding Dong, Ho Hos, and Wonder Bread. Yet another acquisition brought Drakes Cakes into the family.
Having taken on massive debt, the company, now called Hostess Brands, declared bankruptcy in 2004. When it emerged from bankruptcy, having laid off some 17,000 workers, its private equity owners loaded it up with debt again. By early 2012, Hostess was in debt to the tune of $860 million. Despite its distress, its last chief executive was paid over $2.5 million a year.
So when further worker pay cuts of 27 to 32 percent were demanded to make up for all these corporate misdeeds, the union said, No way. The company then asked permission of the bankruptcy judge to liquidate—sell off its assets.
So the real story is not one of recalcitrant unions, but of private equity abuses. If this story faintly reminds you of something, it's Bain Capital, the private equity firm that made Mitt Romney so rich.
Had Romney succeeded in his takeover bid for the White House, he would have been the perfect symbol of this debased era of American capitalism.
And if the man who beat Romney—President Barack Obama—wants to do something for America's hard pressed workers, he could add to the list of tax reforms in the budget deal a reform of the loopholes that allow the private equity gang to take huge tax deductions for loading up a company with debt in order to take it over and then pay themselves exorbitant dividends that further strip the operating company of resources.
There is still a possibility that the judge in the case will not allow Hostess to be broken up. However, if the liquidation does go forward, fear not for the Twinkie. The gooey food has value as a brand and some company or other will surely buy it.
But fear for America's workers. The way the private equity game is played, the financial engineers who keep creating these serial crises for their own enrichment will not be satisfied until the employees agree to work for nothing at all.

The "the iconic Twinkie brand" is not in any way, shape, or form "on the verge of extinction" and I dearly wish commentators would stop with this nonsense. At worst, the company Hostess Brands is on the verge of extinction, but the assets of the company, specifically including the Twinkie brand, but also including Ho Hos and Ding Dongs, will be sold to the highest bidder in a liquidation sale and that new owner will immediately and without a second's delay start making Twinkies to restock the nation's grocery shelves to recoup their investment.
The danger is to the corporate entity, not the brands.
As the poster says, keep calm and carry on.

The author's characterization of Dan White's Twinkie defense is inaccurate. It was not that White's diet caused his mental condition, but that his recent junk-food diet was an indication to the court psychiatrist that some kind of mental disturbance had occurred to a man who had previously been known as a health and fitness extremist.

Read the filing. It is complicated. The company was losing over $100 million per year and that was not because of debt payments. The union work rules seem egregious (union delivery man can't stock the shelves, different union person has to go to the location to do that, etc) and the pension obligations were $1 billion. Tried to a could not find a buyer for the company. Not sure if the union proposed an alternative solution, or just said "no". Lenders and equity losing their investments. Bad deal for all concerned.

Featured Webcast: A Celebration of American Poets Laureate
Video requires Adobe Flash 10 (external link)
SPEAKERS: Mark Strand, Charles Simic, Kay Ryan, Maxine Kumin, Daniel Hoffman , Rita Dove , Billy Collins
FORMAT: Video + Captions
RUNNING TIME: 87 minutes
TRANSCRIPT: View Transcript (link will open in a new window)
DESCRIPTION: Some of the most distinguished voices in American poetry--seven former U.S. Poets Laureate/Consultants in Poetry--reunited in the historic Coolidge Auditorium of the Library of Congress for a night of poetry. The event marked publication of "The Poets Laureate Anthology," a volume which brings together for the first time in print a sampling of poems by all of the Poets Laureate.
Mark Strand, born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, received a BA from Antioch College, a BFA from Yale and an MA from the University of Iowa. He is the author of 10 books of poems, including "Blizzard of One," which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1999. He has received many honors, including a MacArthur fellowship and three grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. Strand also has published a collection of stories, "Mr. and Mrs. Baby," many translations and several anthologies. He currently teaches in the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago.
Charles Simic was born in Yugoslavia on May 9, 1938. His childhood was complicated by the events of World War II. He moved to Paris with his mother when he was 15; a year later, they joined his father in New York and then moved to Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago, where he graduated from the same high school as Ernest Hemingway. Simic attended the University of Chicago, working nights in an office at the Chicago Sun Times, but was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1961 and served until 1963. He earned his bachelor's degree from New York University in 1966. From 1966 to 1974 he wrote and translated poetry, and he also worked as an editorial assistant for Aperture, a photography magazine. He married fashion designer Helen Dubin in 1964. They have two children. He has been a U.S. citizen since 1971 and lives in Strafford, N.H.
Kay Ryan was born in 1945 in San Jose, California, and grew up in the San Joaquin Valley and the Mojave Desert.

I stumbled across this place while looking for answers about... well, I forget, to be honest. Some tech stuff - the site came up in a Google search. Seemed a bit less tightly-wrapped than some tech places, so I thought I'd stick around.
I do IT stuff for a living, mainly on a platform no-one has heard of (pays the mortgage, in a good month) but also do all manner of other stuff for various customers, domestic and small-business.

Investing in Bayreuthis worth it: the city of the Wagner Opera Festival and the University is also a lively business centre.
70 % of the workforce is employed in the tertiary sector. Bayreuth is the centre for regional business services in Upper Franconia. Moreover, Bayreuth itself possesses a well-balanced industrial infrastructure and offers interesting opportunities for cooperative ventures.
Typical industries utilising "New Materials":
"New Materials" belong to the key technologies. A great potential for innovation exists in the development of production materials and process-engineering technologies, which in the
interim have become indispensable for manufacturers of the most diverse products and facilities imaginable in order to achieve that all-important competitive edge.
In Bayreuth, the research and development of new materials is a major focus of the following facilities:
In particular it is the Faculty of Engineering with its numerous departments and projects which focuses on material research.
The competence profile in Engineering and the Natural Sciences at the University of Bayreuth is based on the linking of specialised basic research with applied research, which is targeted at the need for innovation in the industrial sector of the economy.
Including a college of technology, qualification centre, technology marketing and an innovation forum the Centre for New Materials provides intensive cooperative development in the introduction and applications of "New Materials". The laboratories and technological facilities are industrially equipped to drive the development phase up to and including the production of prototypes as well as of parts and semi-manufactured components in small runs.
The newly constructed Centre for New Materials in the vicinity of the university and the motorway exit "Bayreuth-South" is the focal point of the application of "New Materials" in the following research projects:
The research and development projects of small and medium-sized enterprises can be supported by the Bavarian Ministry for Trade and Commerce in the form of subsidies of up to 35% or loans of up
to 80% of the proposed costs.
Decisions regarding the land utilisation of the Bayreuth Technology Park, the Industrial Park at the airport as well as that of the Lohengrin thermal spa area are made exclusively by the City of Bayreuth. These areas will be directly awarded to interested parties at attractive prices; development of the area in question at short notice is guaranteed.

Apple — darling of retail investors and hedge funds alike— has been creating buzz in the market for years as it continues its meteoric rise. In February, the company's market capitalization moved above the $500 billion mark.
Apple is one of the few corporations to eclipse the $500 billion mark, although it is currently the only publicly traded company to exist above this value today, at $506.2 billion as of March 2, 2012. Five other companies have seen their value peak at over $500 billion, including Microsoft ($615 billion in December 1999), General Electric ($594 billion in August 2000), Cisco Systems ($557 billion in March 2000), ExxonMobil ($527 billion in October 2007) and Intel ($502 billion in August 2000).
These sky-high valuations are sometimes hard to grasp, since they occur so infrequently in the regular business world. So to grasp of how big Apple really is, here are several comparisons of the company's $506.2 billion market cap and $97.6 billion in cash holdings. How much could Apple buy and what else is worth $500 billion? Click ahead to find out!

Newport, Rhode Island: Waterfront
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comments
In a place as bustling as Newport's waterfront, what can be most memorable is a tucked-away café, a place to sit and watch the boats glide by, or a patch of grass from which to gaze at the drama of sky, clouds, and water. Since Newport is known as the City by the Sea, it feels right to stay as close to the water as possible — to catch glimpses of it while having chowder or munching lobster rolls, to get out on the harbor and look back at the city rising up the hill, to experience the essence of waterfront culture.
The Seamen's Church Institute is a great place to start. It houses a quiet and comfortable library, a café, and the tiny Chapel of the Sea. The chapel is captivating: shell motifs in floor and font; nautical knots in the carved drapery around the altar; frescoes that depict saints who look out for those at sea and ocean-related Bible scenes like Jonah and the whale.
Downstairs, at the Aloha Café's counter or in the more formal dining room, you'll enjoy one of Gary Jenkins's inventive soups or a generous chicken-salad sandwich on a fat French roll. Or grab lunch to go, walk over to Oldport Marine Services, and catch the launch to Fort Adams State Park for a picnic. Once at Fort Adams, you can walk around the fortification, jump into a tour of the 1824 fort, or amble down to Sail Newport and indulge in a sailing lesson. Rent a sailboat or kayak here and you'll blend into the harborscape.
Other ways to be out on the water abound. Oldport also runs Amazing Grace, a two-deck tour boat. The one-hour cruise takes you on a full circuit of the harbor, with stories and the history of church steeples, yacht clubs, and former presidents' vacation homes (Kennedy and Eisenhower). Schooners such as the Adirondack II or Madeleine or the smaller sailboats of Sightsailing of Newport also tour the harbor.
Back on the wharves called Bannister's and Bowen's, nestled behind the upscale restaurants and boutiques are two places visitors might not discover — the Coffee Grinder and Aquidneck Lobster Co. The former is affectionately called "Alyssa's" after its owner, Alyssa Gladchun. She makes a mean latte, which you can enjoy at an outside table as you take in a bit of maritime Newport: sea-legged workers jumping from one untethered floating dock to the next, and wader-clad lobstermen unloading their catch.
Then hop over to Aquidneck Lobster and ask Dave Benson for a tour. All kinds of fresh fish are on ice, and nearby, large vats of water hold clams, crabs, and lobsters — you might even see a real old-timer, a 14-pound lobster.
For ready-to-eat seafood visit the Clarke Cooke House's first-floor lunchroom (The Candy Store) for steamed mussels. For a delectable scallop chowder and a perch over the water, check out The Mooring on nearby Sayer's Wharf.
Nearby is a craftsman whose work links you directly to 19th-century mariners. At Scrimshanders, Brian Kiracofe practices the whaler's art of scrimshaw, engraving nautical scenes on ancient walrus tusks or recycled piano keys, turning out items such as earrings, tie tacks, and penknives.
On Lower Thames Street, stop in at the International Yacht Restoration School (IYRS, or "Iris" to locals) to watch students working on small wooden boats or learn about the dry-docked 1885 schooner Coronet, being restored to sail as a floating museum.

mtDNA question
I have two samples of mtDNA. I need to know, if these two people share the same mother (or at least, descend from the same maternal line). Sequences of HV1 and HV2 showed the following (mutations relate to rCRS):
Person A:
HV1: identical to rCRS
HV2: 263A>G; 315insC
Person B:
HV2: 263A>G, 309insCC, 315insC
This result would imo exclude the possibility of sharing the same mother, but I'm not quite sure if the the single point mutation in HV1 and the length difference in the C-stretch of HV2 is enough, or if I would have to call that result "inconclusive".
Anybody with experience: Help please!

Thanks for shining some light on this.
Thanks for shining some light on this.
You have to know what you don't know.
I think it was the (wait for it) ILLUMINATI!
Also, I was just about positive we'd see some old pictures resurface in the thread.....you guys are slipping.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
The hype for this fight is blisteringly intense.
You have to know what you don't know.
I wonder watt the guys were thinking about the placement of those lights.
You have to know what you don't know.
that promo video is gonna be sizzling
How funny would be if the main event got cancelled just a couple days after Dana mocked Bellator because their main event got cancelled.
Being said that, I really hope Hendricks comes in good shape and well prepared, because I want to see GSP put a good beating on him.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Combo breaker.
With the Bellator situation, why it was deserving for them to have the PPV cancelled was because they promoted the wrong guys for the main event. Two of the biggest drama queens in MMA got the nod for main event status, and neither earned that right. Bjorn also screwed over both Chandler and Alvarez in the process. Bellator did everything they could to retain Alvarez, and promised him PPV cut (which lets be honest, the majority of the PPV cut would have gone to Tito and Rampage), which now goes out the window. They also have been heavily promoting Chandler as the #1 LW in the world and even franchised him to a long term deal with Bellator but then they regulate him to co-main event status, giving him 3 rounds to defend his title when it should be 5. If Chandler is your franchise fighter, there is no way you put 2 out of their prime drama queens as the main event.
I dont find what happened to Bellator funny, but both Bjorn and Viacom had it coming for just going about this the wrong way.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

El Segundo, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Los Angeles Lakers acquired point guard Jeremy Lin from the Houston Rockets on Sunday.
Also heading to L.A. are a future first-round draft pick as well as a second- round choice in 2015, while the rights to forward/center Sergei Lishchuk were sent to Houston.
"This trade allows us to acquire a solid player who will make us a better team, as well as draft picks to improve our team in the future, while at the same time allowing us to maintain financial flexibility," said Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak. "In addition to what he'll bring us on the court, we think Jeremy will be warmly embraced by our fans and our community."
Lin, 25, averaged 12.5 points, 4.1 assists and 2.6 rebounds per contest over 71 games for the Rockets in 2013-14. They signed him in 2012 on the heels of the "Linsanity" phenomenon in New York, when Lin became a brief and surprising star for the Knicks before suffering a meniscus tear in his knee.
Over his four-year career, the Harvard product has averaged 11.9 points, 4.8 assists and 2.6 boards per game over 217 appearances with Golden State, the Knicks and Houston.
Lishchuk was selected by Memphis in the 2004 draft and was traded to the Rockets in February of 2008 before landing with the Lakers as part of a three- way trade with the Nets in December 2010. He played for Valencia of the Spanish ACB League last season.
The Rockets made the deal to clear salary-cap space so they could sign free- agent big man Chris Bosh, according to Yahoo Sports earlier in the weekend.
But Bosh ended up re-signing with the Miami Heat on a maximum deal, according to multiple reports that surfaced just hours after LeBron James announced he was leaving Miami to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers again.

I've purchased many saddles and particularly like the Selle SMP brand. I have many of the TRK version on my multple road bikes, so when I saw the Selle SMP Extreme on sale, I figured it would be a good buy. I was right. As usual, the padding is spot on and the saddle itself is very comfortable. I particularly like the bright graphics on this one - it stands out from the others. The padding is a bit different, but more comfortable than some of the others I have. They tout this one as their mountain biking version of this fine saddle, and I feel that this would be true - I've had the saddle out for a spin or two, and the feel is more damped then the others. Slightly softer padding and ginormous cutout make for a very comfy ride. Multiple Thumbs Up for this model!!!!!! By the way, I bought the larger sized one to accomodate a more comfortable ride for my behind.

Mount Holly Family loses all in fireBy Anders Ax
CORRESPONDENT | January 23,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
A house was destroyed by a fire on Nichols Road in Mount Holly on Tuesday morning.A Mount Holly family escaped without injury from an early morning blaze at their Nichols Road home that destroyed the two-story building and all of their belongings.
The house was fully engulfed when we got there, said Keith Hawkins, Mount Holly fire chief. The tough thing was the owner said he had to go down the road to use a phone.
Firefighters were called at 5:50 a.m. and responded to the scene eight minutes later, Hawkins said, with 15 trucks from Mount Holly, Ludlow, Shrewsbury and East Wallingford.
The investigation into the cause of the fire is continuing, but the chief said he believed that the blaze may have started in the corner of the basement where the pellet stove and electrical box were located.
Frederick Ludwig, a neighbor, said that when he walked over to the fire, Harlow was wrapped in a bathrobe while another member of the household was standing barefoot in the snow.
They got nothing, Ludwig said. Everything is gone.
Hawkins said battling the fire became more difficult after the houses tin roof collapsed creating hot spots within the wreckage.
I just appreciate all the mutual aid we had, Hawkins said. Everyone did an excellent job.
The fire in Mount Holly wasnt the only fire to occur in Rutland County on Tuesday. Another house fire in Castleton at 263 Route 30 had destroyed a mobile home and displaced a mother, father and 3-year-old twins. Financial assistance, as well as lodging, had been provided for the family.
Doug Bishop, spokesman for the American Red Cross of Vermont & the New Hampshire Valley Regions, said that the family of five from Mount Holly, and another person staying at the house, had all been provided with temporary lodging and financial assistance for food and clothing lost in the fire.
Neither the Harlows nor the family in Castleton could be reached for comment.MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change.

In human color psychology, red is associated with heat, energy and blood, and emotions that "stir the blood", including anger, passion, and love.
The word red comes from the Old English rēad. Further back, the word can be traced to the Proto-Germanic rauthaz and the Proto-Indo European root reudh-. This is the only color word which has been traced to an Indo-European root. In the English language, the word red is associated with the color of blood, certain flowers (i.e. roses), and ripe fruits (i.e. apples, cherries). Fire is also strongly connected, as is the sun and the sky at sunset. Healthy people are often said to have a redness touch to their skin color (as opposed to be appearing pale). After the rise of socialism in the mid-19th century, red was to describe revolutionary movements. The word is also obviously associated with anything of the color occupying the lower end of the visible light spectrum, such as red hair or red soil. Red Indians is a British term for Native Americans, American terms for this ethnic group include redskin, redhead and red man, though they are not the preferred terms.
Red is any of a number of similar colors evoked by light consisting predominantly of the longest wavelengths of light discernible by the human eye, in the wavelength range of roughly 630–700 nm. Longer wavelengths than this are called infrared, or below red and cannot be seen by human eyes. Red's wavelength has been an important factor in laser technologies as red lasers, used in early compact disc technologies, are being replaced by blue lasers, as red's longer wavelength causes the laser's recordings to take up more space on the disc than blue lasers. Red light is also used to preserve night vision in low-light or night-time situations, as the rod cells in the human eye aren't sensitive to red. Red is used as one of the additive primary colors of light, complementary to cyan, in RGB color systems. Red is also one of the subtractive primary colors of RYB color space but not CMYK color space.
One common use of red as an additive primary color is in the RGB color model. Because "red" is not by itself standardized, color mixtures based on red are not exact specifications of color either. In order to produce exact colors the color red needs to be defined in terms of an absolute color space such as sRGB. As used in computer monitors and television screens, red is very variable, but some systems may apply color correction (so that a standardized "red" is produced that is not in fact full intensity of only the red colorant).
A red filter used in black and white photography increases contrast in most scenes. For example, combined with a polarizer, it can turn the sky black. Films simulating the effects of infrared film (such as Ilford's SFX 200) do so by being much more sensitive to red than to other colors. Red illumination was (and sometimes still is) used as a "safelight" while working in a darkroom, as it does not expose most photographic paper and some films. Though many more modern darkrooms use an amber safelight, red illumination is closely associated with the darkroom in the public mind.
In astronomy, stars of spectral type M (the stars with the coolest temperature) are classified as red stars. Mars is called the Red Planet because of the reddish color imparted to its surface by the abundant iron oxide present there. Astronomical objects which are moving away from the observer exhibit a red shift. Jupiter's surface displays a Great Red Spot, a football-shaped area south of the planet's equator. Astronomers believe the spot to be some kind of storm.
Oxygenated blood is red due to the presence of oxygenated hemoglobin. Red light is the first to be absorbed by sea water, so that many fish and marine invertebrates that appear bright red are black in their native habitat. When used about animal coloration red usually refers to a brownish, reddish-brown or ginger color. In this sense it is used to describe coat colors of reddish-brown cattle and dogs, and in the names of various animal species or breeds such as red fox, red squirrel, red deer, Robin Redbreast, Red Grouse, Red Knot, Redstart, Redwing, Red Setter, Red Devon cattle etc. The usage for animal color appears similar to that for red ochre, red hair and Red Indian. Interestingly red appears to be rarely used in names of animals which are a brighter blood-red or scarlet color (Carmine Bee-eater, Scarlet Tanager). When used for flowers, red often refers to purplish (red deadnettle, red clover, red helleborine) or pink (red campion, red valerian) colors.
Red is frequently used as a symbol of guilt, sin and anger, often as connected with blood or sex. A biblical example is found in Isaiah: "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow. Also, The Scarlet Letter an 1850 American novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne, features a woman in a Puritan New England community who is punished for adultery with ostracism, her sin represented by a red letter 'A' sewn into her clothes. This all comes from a general Hebrew view inherited by Christianity which associates red with the blood of murder, as well as with guilt in general. Another popular example of this is in the phrase "caught red-handed", meaning either caught in an act of crime or caught with the blood of murder still on one's hands. At one point, red was associated with prostitutes, or now, with brothels (red-light districts). In Roman Catholicism, red represents wrath, one of the Seven Deadly Sins. In Christianity, Satan is usually depicted as colored red and/or wearing a red costume in both iconography and popular culture. Statistics have shown that red cars are more likely to be involved in accidents.
The color red is associated with lust, passion, love, and beauty as well. The association with love and beauty is possibly related to the use of red roses as a love symbol. Both the Greeks and the Hebrews considered red a symbol of love, as well as sacrifice. In the metaphysics of the "New Age Prophetess", Alice Bailey, in her system called the Seven Rays which classifies humans into seven different metaphysical psychological types, the "sixth ray" of "love-devotion" is represented by the color red. People who have this metaphysical psychological type are said to be "on the Red Ray". Psychics who claim to be able to observe the aura with their third eye report that a red aura is associated with a love of sports and physical exercise.
Red catches people's attention, and is often used either in a negative way to indicate danger and emergency, or in a positive way in advertising to gain more viewers, or in nature, as a ripe fruit announces its readiness with its red color. Several studies have indicated that red carries the strongest reaction of all the colors, with the level of reaction decreasing gradually with orange, yellow, and white, respectively. Because of this, scientists have repeatedly recommended red for warning signals, labels, and signs. Because of these recommendations, red has seen widespread use as a danger signal, in stop signs, to warn people of extreme heat or flammability, and even to signal warnings in sports such as soccer (see: penalty card). It may also represent fire and so may symbolize the presence of God. It is the liturgical color for Pentecost.
In Japan, red is a traditional color for a heroic figure. In the Indian Sub-continent, red is the traditional color of bridal dresses, and is frequently represented in the media as a symbolic color for married women. The color is associated with sexuality in marriage relationships through its connection to heat and fertility. It is also the color of wealth, beauty, and the goddess Lakshmi.
In Central Africa, Ndembu warriors rub themselves with red during celebrations. Since their culture sees the color as a symbol of life and health, sick people are also painted with it. Like most Central African cultures, the Ndembu see red as ambivalent, better than black, but not as good as white. In other parts of Africa, however, red is a color of mourning, representing death. Because of the connection red bears with death in many parts of Africa, the Red Cross has changed its colors to green and white in parts of the continent.
Red is one of the most common colors used on national flags throughout the world. On these flags it carries the same meanings which it does anywhere else: the blood, sacrifice, and courage of those who defended their country, the sun and the hope and warmth it brings, and the sacrifice of Christ's blood (in some historically Christian nations) are a few examples. Red is the color of the flags of several countries which once belonged to the former British Empire. The British flag bears the colors red, white and blue. red is represented by three crosses: the patron saint of England Saint George, the patron saint of Scotland, Saint Andrew and the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. The United States flag bears the colors of Britain, and other countries' flags, such as those of Australia and Fiji, carry a small inset of the British flag in memory of their ties to that country. Former colonies of Spain, such as Ecuador and Venezuela, also feature red, one of the colors of the Spanish flag, on their own banners.
Red, along with blue and white is also one of the Pan-Slavic colors adopted by the Slavic solidarity movement of the late nineteenth century. Initially, these were the colors of the Russian flag, but as the Slavic movement grew, other Slavic people began adopting them, such as Slovaks, Slovenes or Serbs. In addition to this, red, white, and black are the colors of Pan-Arabism, and are used by many Arab countries.
Red is one of the four colors (along with gold, green, and black) of Pan-Africanism. Several African countries thus use the color on their flags, including South Africa, Ghana, Senegal, Mali, Ethiopia, Togo, Guinea, Benin, and Zimbabwe. The Pan-African colors are borrowed from the Ethiopian flag, one of the oldest independent African countries. Rwanda, notably, removed red from its flag after the Rwandan Genocide, because Pan-Africanism was so strongly associated with the event and because of red's association with blood.
Even before Europe's Revolutions of 1848, "Socialist" red was used as a color of European Revolutionaries, often in the form of the red flag. It was also used by Garibaldi's camicie rosse ("redshirts") in the Italian Risorgimento, and taken up by Leftist and generally revolutionary groups, while the white of legitimist Bourbon partisans became associated with pre-World War I conservatives. This relates to the term "Blood of the workers", representing the suffering of the proletariat. For instance the Civil War in Russia and the Civil War in Finland were fought between the "Red Army" and various "White Armies".
The Cincinnati Red Stockings are the oldest professional baseball team, dating back to 1869. The franchise soon relocated to Boston and is now the Atlanta Braves, but its name survives as the origin for both the Cincinnati Reds and Boston Red Sox. During the 1950s when red was so strongly associated with communism, the modern Cincinnati team was known as the "Redlegs" and the term was even used on baseball cards. After the red scare faded, the team was known as the Reds again.
The identification of Communism with "Socialist" red (with the red flag being the primary color of the flag of the Soviet Union) and the red star being a Communist emblem led to such Cold War phrases as "the Red Menace" and "Red China" (distinguished from Nationalist China, "Free China," or Taiwan).
China's de-facto anthem under Mao Zedong was The East is Red. Mao Zedong was sometimes referred to as a "red sun". The color was also associated with political vehicles such as the Red Guard in China and the Red Guards during the Russian Revolution of 1917 as well as with left wing paramilitary terrorist groups such as the Red Army Faction in Germany and the Japanese Red Army. Red remains associated with parties on the left of the political spectrum. However, in the United States, a red state is one whose population predominantly supports the Republican Party. Red and black are colors associated with anarchism, and, specifically, anarcho-syndicalism.
