Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
It may not be the sexiest of sectors, but Thursday was a busy day for the logistics industry in Asia with two deals struck by Dubai's DP World and one involving Goodman Group.
In the first, Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing's Singapore-listed Hutchison Port Holdings Trust said that a unit acquired Asia Container Terminals Holdings Ltd., a container terminal operator in Hong Kong, for about S$509 million (US$408 million).
Toll Holdings looks ready to beat a retreat from Japan.
The logistics company has appointed an external advisor to help with a previously announced strategic review of its Japanese unit, which has a book value of around 210 million Australian dollars (US$218.4 million).
The move will reignite speculation that a sale of the Japanese unit is on the cards, coming hot on the heels of its disposal earlier this month of most of its Toll Refrigerated business to Automotive Holdings Group.
Australian trucking company 1st Fleet has hit a severe road bump, as administrators deVries Tayeh were appointed late Wednesday.
deVries Tayeh partner Riad Tayeh told Deal Journal Australia the privately-owned firm was placed into administration due to cash flow issues stemming from tight margins in the transport sector which is battling high fuel and labor costs.
UBS reckons Qube Logistics can keep spending.
Qube Friday announced its acquisition of the Giacci group of companies, a national business which services the mining industry by handling more than 17 million tons of bulk products a year.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHighland Country Inn Flagstaff
Freezing outside, warm inside. On a busy junction but can't hear a thing in the room.
After staying for 2 nights here I have amended my review. The worst 2 nights sleep so far in the US. Freezing cold - had to take the bedding off the other bed as the heater was too noisy and drying to have on all night. Neighbours woke us up at 3.30am first morning. Bed uncomfortable and pillows like blocks of wood. I know motels aren't usually luxurious but this was extra tired and quite dirty when you looked at it properly. Not the best.

Historical Traveler Reviews Highland Country Inn Flagstaff
Clean place to stay
We stayed here for two nights. Our room had a microwave and refrigerator for no extra cost. AAA discount was 10% off. Room was clean. Wi-fi worked nicely. Would recommend as cheaper ($80/night) alternative to other travelers.
This hotel was terrible
I spent three days at this hotel that advertised all new rooms and continential breakfast. Their sign said they were AAA approved and that they had all new rooms. The only thing new was the bedspreads. The first 2 day stay the room had spots on a wall and the safety strips were almost totally removed from the bottom of the bath tub. The towels were very thin. I asked for a bathmat or to have the safety strips replaced and was told they were removing them and would not put new one down. I finally told the clerk that I had almost fallen in the tub the night before and if someone fell the motel could be sued. She then had me write the information down. When I came back that night safety strips covered most of the bottom of the tub. The third day I stayed the following week I was given another room and again most of the safety strips were taken off the tub floor. The continential breakfast was stale bagels, orange juice, coffee and some fresh fruit. There was no pool. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
Pretty good
Clean and convenient, everything advertised was available. Would happily stay there again. Must admit though, ear-plugs are adviseable because of the freight trains which pass about 200 yards away. Internet access available nearby just across the tracks from the train depot (reception did not know this). Enjoyed my stay there, would use again.
Good Price, Clean hotel
We stayed over New Years on our way to the Grand Canyon. There was alot of noise as midnight approached but that was to be expected, and it was within reason. Everyone settled down quite quickly after midnight. Slept well - didn't hear a train if there was one. Great price and clean too.
Would not recommend the Highland if you need a good night's sleep
We booked this hotel online for a 4 night stay over the Thanksgiving holiday. The first morning, my mother went to the hotel office for a cup of coffee and she returned with three muffins as well, as offered in the office. There were 4 of us staying in the room however so I returned to the office with my 7 year old daughter at 8:55 am. The attendant looked at us and walked into the back of the office, out of our direct line of sight. My daughter went to select a muffin but there were none left, so she stood at the counter to ask for one. The clerk did not return, so my daughter rang the bell. At 9:01, the clerk finally came out of the back. My daughter asked for a muffin and the clerk told her, "It is past the time." We thought that was so rude since my daughter stood there for 5 minutes. It just seemed so deliberate to us. Anyhow, the next night, there was a loud party in the room above us. There were people shouting in the hallways at 2 am, laughing and what have you. Since the hotel is right next to the NAU campus, I suppose this is to be expected. Also, it is close enough to the train tracks that we could hear trains all night long. Lastly, there is not ample parking. There are only about 7 parking spots directly in front of the rooms, otherwise you have to park where you cannot see your car. There is only one handicapped parking spot as well. In total, given that there are many hotels to choose from in Flagstaff, on future trips I will try and find better accommodations.
A Good little Budget Motel
We stayed one night as a stop off on the way to the Grand Canyon. Being on a budget "Road trip" around Las Vegas and S.F., this seemed an ideal motel to stay one night. I was a bit worried after reading the "Rat Hole" review, but upon arrival, the first thing we saw was a sign that indicated all rooms had been renovated. Indeed they had - and pretty recently too! The room and bathroom was absolutely fine - spotless! All fittings and fixtures were new, with no sign of wear or tear. We got up late, so missed the included breakfast (Doughnuts ?). We popped over to the Garage (sorry - "Gas station") over the road that had a complete section dedicated to Breakfasts (I guess this is common in the US?). As the motel is located on the outskirts of the town center - there didn't look to be too much around, so for the evening meal we walked over the road and ate at a great pub/sports bar - "Granny's Closet". This place was cool!! - Exactly how us Brits imagine a U.S. bar to be. All-in-all a great nights stop. Recommended!
Clean and Safe
I was pleasantly surprised at the condition I found the hotel in. I managed to get a really great rate and was not expecting much from the Highland Country Inn. It turns out it was the cleanest hotel I have stayed in in a while. The walls were freshly painted, the refrigerator was brand new, microwave - brand new. The room did not seem worn in any way. I have stayed in many a hotel from expensive to not so great, and I must say this hotel was CLEAN!!! Not luxurious, but CLEAN. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who just needs a room to sleep in and a place to shower. My Three nights were pleasant, though the clientele does seem to be young.
One of the Best $30 Hotels.
We took a 3-day side trip from Las Vegas to checkout the Grand Canyon and Sedona. Flagstaf is in the middle, so it seemed a logical place to stay. We stayed at The Venetian for a week, then did Flagstaff, then returned to The Bellagio for 3 days before we flew home. Of course the Highland Country Inn does not compare to the 5-star hotels in Vegas, but is one of the best $30 hotels I have ever stayed in. Clean, comfortable, and smoke free. Free coffee and pastries in the morning. We met several tourists from Europe staying there. That's a clear signal to me that we've found a good hotel for the frugal traveler.
After reading the other reviews here I almost moved on to another hotel, but Orbitz rated it well. I suspect they have re-done the rooms recently. I did not see the bad conditions other reviewers did.
The Hotel is located close to a busy intersection - but so is our house so the noise was not an issue. If you want less road noise, the rooms towards the back are probably quieter. We stayed in a room next to the front office and were woken by an ambulance going by with sirens wailing in the wee hours of the morning. We did not experience that at the Bellagio, but that was a $300 room, not $32.
Run down rat hole
The rooms were filthy and stunk, the are is not much in the rooms but a bed and a Tv.
Horrible stay
When we arrive to the hotel they did not have our reservation made over the internet and didnt speak very much english, Hotel and rooms were ok very basic carpets stained,holes in comforter, I would not stay here again, we checked out and stayed at another hotel close by the second night.

And again, Over Hill and Dale...
We got the finalities of the purchase done in a mighty strange way, in my opinion. Our driver, Cecil, took us on the three hour trip to Blythe, California. We then went to the ReMax Office where some obscure, to us, form was signed and verified that we are, in fact, NOT residents of Arizona. It was a tedious, desert trip to say the least.

Holy ****, i thought the mornings at Burning Man were bad, this morning was by far the hottest, actually looked like i had just come out of a swimming pool when i woke up. Disgusting! BUT, we are in a KOA campground so we have access to showers! Went to leave with the intentions of going to the Grand Canyon.

Training Condom Use Skills for Sexually Active College Students
Date: December 1994
Creator: Smith, Teresa E. (Teresa Elizabeth)
Description: Eighty-nine single, sexually active, heterosexual college students (ages 17-24) participated in one of two intervention conditions. Experimental groups were taught skills specific to condom use and sexual communication via a multimedia presentation. Control groups viewed a video on an unrelated topic. Individuals in the experimental conditions were expected to show higher levels of self-efficacy, greater knowledge concerning diseases, and improved attitudes about condoms immediately following the intervention. They were also expected to report safer sexual practices at the one month follow-up. Findings reveal that improved attitude and knowledge scores did not translate into behavioral changes.

Electron Density and Collision Frequency Studies Using a Resonant Microwave Cavity as a Probe
Date: May 1973
Creator: Freeman, Ronald Harold
Description: Electron densities and collision frequencies were obtained on a number of gases in a dc discharge at low pressures (0.70-2mm of Hg). These measurements were performed by microwave probing of a filament of the dc discharge placed coaxially in a resonant cavity operating in a TM₀₁₀ mode. The equipment and techniques for making the microwave measurements employing the resonant cavity are described. One of the main features of this investigation is the technique of differentiating the resonance signal of the loaded cavity in order to make accurate measurements of the resonant frequency and half-power point frequencies.

Effects of Music on Vividness of Movement Imagery
Date: December 1994
Creator: Tham, Edgar Kok Kuan
Description: The purpose of the investigation was to determine the effects of music on self reported vividness of movement imagery. Eighty-four undergraduate kinesiology majors (42 males; 42 females) were subjects. Based on identical perceptions of precategorized music (classical and jazz), selected subjects were randomly assigned to one of three music treatment conditions (sedative, stimulative, and control) and administered the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire. A 3 x 2 x 2 (Treatment x Gender x Perspective) ANOVA with repeated measures on the last factor was employed. The results revealed that the two music conditions significantly enhanced the vividness of internal and external imagery perspectives when compared to the no music condition, and that music facilitated the vividness of males and females equally.

Chemical Equilibria in Binary Solvents
Date: August 1997
Creator: McHale, Mary E. R.
Description: Dissertation research involves development of Mobile Order Theory thermodynamic models to mathematically describe and predict the solubility, spectral properties, protonation equilibrium constants and two-phase partitioning behavior of solutes dissolved in binary solvent mixtures of analytical importance. Information gained provide a better understanding of solute-solvent and solvent-solvent interactions at the molecular level, which will facilitate the development of better chemical separation methods based upon both gas-liquid and high-performance liquid chromatography, and better analysis methods based upon complexiometric and spectroscopic methods. Dissertation research emphasizes chemical equilibria in systems containing alcohol cosolvents with the understanding that knowledge gained will be transferable to more environmentally friendly aqueous-organic solvent mixtures.

Susceptibility of College Students to Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol Related Problems: the Impact of Family Environmental Factors
Date: December 1998
Creator: Blue, James M. (James Michael)
Description: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of parental divorce, level of family conflict, and family history of alcoholism on the alcohol use patterns of college students. Gender differences were also explored. Multivariate Analysis of Variance revealed mixed results. Parental marital status was found to have no significant effect on college students' alcohol behavior. High family conflict had a significant impact on both level of current alcohol use and level of alcohol related problems. A positive family history of alcoholism was found to have effects on the level of alcohol related problems encountered by students. Gender played a significant role, with males reporting higher levels of alcohol-related problems. No significant interactions were found. Results, contributions and limitations of the study are discussed.

Creating a Mythistory: Texas Historians in the Nineteenth Century
Date: August 1998
Creator: McLemore, Laura Lyons, 1950-
Description: Many historians have acknowledged the temptation to portray people as they see themselves and wish to be seen, blending history and ideology. The result is "mythistory." Twentieth century Texas writers and historians, remarking upon the exceptional durability of the Texas mythistory that emerged from the nineteenth century, have questioned its resistance to revision throughout the twentieth century. By placing the writing of Texas history within the context of American and European intellectual climates and history writing generally, from the close of the eighteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth, it is possible to identify a pattern that provides some insight into the popularity and persistence of Texas mythistory.

Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor α3 mRNA in Rat Visual System After Monocular Deprivation
Date: August 1997
Creator: Taylor, James H. (James Harvey), 1970-
Description: In situ hybridization was used to examine effects of monocular enucleation on nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit cc3 mRNA in the rat dLGNand visual cortex. After 28 days postoperative, there were no significant differences in α3 mRNA density between the contralateral (deprived) and ipsilateral (non-deprived) sides. The lack of obvious effects of visual deprivation on α3 mRNA density suggests that other factors, possibly intrinsic to dLGNand visual cortex, govern the postnatal expression of α3 mRNA.

Smart Meter Technology in Summerside
The City of Summerside recently won a national award for all the work it's doing with smart meter technology. The meters monitor your household energy consumption and essentially talk back and forth with the Summerside Electric Utility. The selling point with this technology for consumers is that they'll be able to buy cheaper electricity. But there's growing opposition across North America to the use of smart meters. Our reporter Brendan Elliott has been looking into this opposition to see if it's something Summerside residents should be worried about.

WOODSTOCK, Ga. (AP) -- Police say they've arrested a man and woman who stole a trailer full of cribs from a nonprofit group that were going to be donated to new mothers.
WXIA-TV Friday reported 44-year-old Carl James Bourque, of Marietta, and 31-year-old Bobbie Jean Colston, of Woodstock are being held in the Cobb County Adult Detention Center on felony theft charges. Police are looking for a third suspect, but have not released details on their identity.
An employee at The Hope Center in Woodstock reported the trailer missing Wednesday, and authorities arrested the couple Thursday evening.
A tipster saw the stolen trailer parked at a hotel in Kennesaw and called Cobb County Police. Authorities say two off the five cribs have been recovered.
Woodstock is about 30 miles north of Atlanta.

Veteran reporter Sergio Ocampo was having a late dinner on September 26 when his editor called about a shooting in the city of Iguala in Guerrero state. Students from the Ayotzinapa teacher training college were apparently among the victims. But when Ocampo, a correspondent for the newspaper La Jornada, called the then-mayor of Iguala, José Luis Abarca, he was told, "Nothing happened." The mayor added, "They came from Ayotzinapa to do their destruction here," Ocampo recalled.]]>
News of the August 19, 2014, murder of journalist James Foley broke not in the media but instead on Twitter. News organizations faced the agonizing questions of how to report on the killing and what portions of the video to show. If a group or individual commits an act of violence, and then films it, how can traditional news organizations cover it without amplifying the propaganda message?]]>
The Pakistani journalist knew the risk, but he wrote the story about the militants anyway. Years earlier he had been shot, after reporting on another taboo subject, but for him the freelance work was thrilling, even after he had to marry his girlfriend in secret and flee Pakistan without her--and still now, since the nightmares began.]]>
She exposed government corruption with investigative reporting that made international headlines, helped launch the Mexicoleaks whistleblower website, and was voted second most powerful woman in the country last year by Forbes Mexico, but Carmen Aristegui, one of the country's most popular radio journalists, has been fired from MVS Radio after demanding that the privately owned station reinstate two investigative reporters.]]>
New York, January 5, 2015--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the abduction of Mexican journalist José Moisés Sánchez Cerezo and calls on authorities to do their utmost to find him and apprehend the perpetrators.]]>
Here, CPJ remembers some of the journalists who gave their lives to bring us this year's headlines.]]>
The lack of justice in hundreds of murders of journalists around the world is one of the greatest threats to press freedom today. While international attention to the issue has grown over the past decade, there has been little progress in bringing down rates of impunity. States will have to demonstrate far more political will to implement international commitments to make an impact on the high rates of targeted violence that journalists routinely face. A special report by the Committee to Protect Journalists
Elisabeth Witchel, the founder of CPJ's Global Campaign Against Impunity, is the lead author of this report. Witchel launched the campaign in 2007 and has compiled five editions of the organization's annual Global Impunity Index as well as several other major reports. She has worked in human rights and journalism for more than 15 years and participated in missions to Pakistan, Nepal, and the Philippines, among others. In 2010, she organized CPJ's Impunity Summit, bringing together 40 representatives from more than 20 press freedom organizations to identify challenges and strategies to combat impunity in violence against journalists.
In 1981, the year CPJ was founded, Argentina was enmeshed in the so-called Dirty War, in which dozens of journalists were disappeared. Most were never seen again. To this day, no one has systematically documented the media murders that took place, and no one knows precisely how many journalists perished. Not surprisingly, given the information void, there was little international attention on journalists' disappearances or the broader human rights catastrophe that many of the murdered reporters were seeking to cover.]]>
In November 2013, the United Nations General Assembly put the issue of impunity squarely on the global agenda.
The Resolution on Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity, adopted by consensus, describes the absence of justice for victims as "one of the main challenges to strengthening the protection of journalists." It calls on states to "ensure accountability through the conduct of impartial, speedy, and effective investigations into all alleged violence against journalists and media workers falling within their jurisdiction." Governments are further charged to "bring the perpetrators of such crimes to justice and to ensure that victims have access to appropriate remedies." The resolution proclaims November 2 as the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists.]]>
A climate of impunity reached a tragic culmination on November 23, 2009, when gunmen ambushed a caravan escorting political candidate Esmael "Toto" Mangudadatu as he prepared to file papers to become a candidate for provincial governor in the Philippines. The attackers slaughtered 58 people, among them 30 journalists and two media workers, the largest toll of journalists murdered in a single act since CPJ began keeping track in 1992.]]>
On May 3, 2011, CPJ representatives traveled to Pakistan to raise concerns about the increasing attacks against journalists there and the country's high rate of impunity. It was a moment of drama: The previous day, American forces had killed Osama bin Laden in nearby Abbottabad. But Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari kept his commitment and met CPJ to discuss the growing number of Pakistani journalists murdered because of their work, and the absence of prosecution against the assailants.]]>
The United Nations has escalated its focus on journalist killings, declaring that unpunished attacks against journalists are a major threat not only to press freedom, but also to all major areas of the U.N.'s work. In recent years, it has adopted two resolutions addressing journalists' safety and impunity and launched a plan of action. These have come on top of existing Security Council Resolution 1738, which condemns attacks against journalists in conflict. "There must be no impunity for those who target journalists for violence," U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon proclaimed in a statement in the run-up to World Press Freedom Day, May 3, 2014.]]>

Report: iTunes, FaceTime among top NA web services
updated 11:35 pm EST, Tue November 12, 2013
FaceTime alone responsible for 1.4 percent of all upstream data
A new study from analysis and tracking firm Sandvine shows that some of Apple's web services - in particular, its iTunes stores - are among the most popular such services in North America, and growing rapidly. Since May, iTunes has grown more than 60 percent, from 1.9 percent of all downstream traffic to 3.27 percent. FaceTime, which is considered a wholly upstream service, was ahead of Dropbox and just behind Facebook in terms of upstream traffic.
The iTunes stores are responsible for 3.27 percent of all downstream web traffic in North America, just behind BitTorrent with four percent. The latter service -- mostly used for pirating media and software -- has dropped by more than 20 percent since May, when it occupied 5.57 percent of downstream traffic. In terms of upstream data, however, the service still dominates: it's responsible for a whopping 36.35 percent of upstream traffic from users.
Apple's iTunes popularity was good enough to rank it fifth among the downstream services, and also fifth among "aggregate" services (which includes upstream and downstream data) with 2.91 percent. In both the downstream and aggregate categories, Netflix was the dominant service with around 30 percent of such traffic in North America. This was followed by YouTube in second place with around 18 percent, general web surfing with just under 10 percent, then BitTorrent in fourth place.
Interestingly, iTunes' use indicated that it is about twice as commonly used as Amazon Video, which in turn appears to be about 50 percent more popular than Hulu (Facebook downstream traffic is rated between the two, but that comes mostly from embedded video viewing). It terms of upstream data from users to services, beyond BitTorrent in the top spot the next most popular service was generally HTTP web surfing, followed by SSL surfing, Netflix, YouTube, Skype, QVoD and then Facebook, just 0.1 percent higher than FaceTime. Dropbox rounded out the top 10 upstream services with 1.39 percent of North American traffic.
In aggregate, the top 10 services consume just over 73 percent of all NA web bandwidth. Netflix and YouTube combined take up about half of the bandwidth.

It's a wonderful life for Tristar teammates Georges St. Pierre and Rory MacDonald. Not only do they get to call out their next opponents, (both whom are coming off losses nonetheless) they also get to fight them in their home province of Quebec.
UFC President Dana White has offered contracts to both Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre, and Stockton Southpaw Nick Diaz to headline the promotions first 2013 visit to Canada. While a lot could go wrong before March 16th, 2013, as it stands today - this is the UFC 158 headliner.
Rory MacDonald visited mmajunkie radio yesterday to confirm that he will be given the opportunity to rematch Carlos Condit inside of Montreal's Bell Centre live on pay-per-view. This bout will likely serve as the co-main event of the evening. You can revisit Condit and MacDonald's UFC 115 Fight of the Night performance right here, if you're into that sort of thing.

A Pronounced Transition: Spring 2015 Recap
New Jersey State Climatologist
June 4, 2015
May 2015 was a warm and dry month across New Jersey. As the month ended, drought concerns were looming large, though rainfall in the north during the afternoon and evening of the 31st and continuing into the first days of June resulted in at least a temporary braking of the downward slide. Based on data gathered at long-term National Weather Service Cooperative Observing (COOP) stations, May rainfall averaged 1.08" across NJ. This is 2.92" below the 1981-2010 mean and ranks as the 3rd driest May since records commenced in 1895.
Temperatures were quite warm throughout May. The statewide average temperature of 66.0° was 5.2° above average. This ranked as the 3rd warmest may since 1895. It was the persistence of above-average temperatures (especially daily maximums) rather than a scorching heat wave that led to the high ranking. Four of the eight warmest Mays have occurred since 2004.

These symptoms often first appear in one or both hands during the night, and you may wake up feeling the need to "shake out" the hand or wrist. As symptoms worsen, you might feel tingling during the day and have a decreased grip strength that may make it difficult to form a fist or grasp small objects. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, find out if you are suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome by attending an upcoming lecture discussing the condition or schedule a free screening offered by Silver Cross Hospital.

I think Penn made a lot of questionable choices in his career, but they were generally because he wanted to test himself. I don't have his record in front of me, but if you look at his fights with guys that are actually his size, he's something like 14-3-1. Not GOAT worthy, but certainly respectable.
BJ was 10 years early for MMA. If you had a guy of his talent coming in today, with advancements in coaching, nutrition, training...he could have had a very different career.
But it is what it is...his record stands for itself, his choices stand for themselves; and I appreciate what he's always brought to the industry.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

Yeah, Bye.
I just watche penn vs edgar 3 (was on vacation.) Man that was tough as shit to watch. Can't worry about what ifs. Man was a two division champ who fought the best and always challenged himself. Guy jumped into the deep end from the very start. His record could be 10 wins better if he fought in regional promotions. All the losses were to good/great guys and like you said some were close/controversial.
I'm a fan of BJ Penn's fighting spirit which I believe impacted his legacy both positively and negatively. I'm not a fan of some of BJ's more crazed fans as they tend to let their fandom interfer with rational thought.
So out of respect to the Penn fans, I'll leave it at that.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
I think that the 3 fights that highlight BJ as one of the best, were the first Matt Hughes fight, at that time, he was unstoppable, then, he did the same with Gomi, another guy that was a real beast at the moment, and you can't leave out the Diego fight, just for the blood soaked gloves afterwards...
Should he be included in the GOAT discussion?... absolutely not... at this point in time there are many others with greater records that should be mentioned ahead of him.
Thanks for the discussion guys i made this thread not only because its been something ive been thinking over and over again in my head since bj retirement but also because yesterday was the first day of my three week holiday because im having another daughter so my fiance was having a c- section yesterday and because it was planned there was alot of sitting around waiting going on so i finally had time to sit down and write something, anyways we had a beautiful little girl healthy and named her Anabella..
Again thanks for the discussion and as always war bj :-)

TEMPE, Az. For the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim this spring, the hype has been about Albert Pujols. The hope, for the Angels, has been for Kendrys Morales. So far, so good. And it got even better on Thursday afternoon. Morales, out since fracturing his lower left leg in a home late celebration of a May 29, 2010 walk-off grand slam against Seattle, faced big-league pitching in a game for the first time in 661 days, and passed every test he was given, including showing no hesitation to run the bases and slide. "This was a real step I wanted to take today," Morales, a Cuban defector, said through an interpreter. Pujols continued to do what the Angels want him to do after giving him a 10-year, 240 million free-agent contract to lure him from St. Louis to provide a major offensive influx, doubling home a run in a four-run second of the 7-4 victory against Kansas City, leaving his average at .364. And Morales started to do what the Angels hope he can once again do. After sufferi...

text: 284Shares28040 Lucas Leite is a highly decorated Brazilian jiu jitsu competitor, famous for his half guard skills, who fights for the Checkmat BJJ Academy. Since Lucas Leite was graded as a black belt by Leonardo Vieira, he has been a regular presence in BJJ and submission grappling podiums around the world competing sometimes as a heavyweight (under 94kg/221lbs), two weight categories above his natural weight (around 78-80kg). In 2007 Lucas Leite moved from his native Brazil to the United States where he formed one of the strongest Checkmat academy camps in the USA. Lucas Leite Jiu Jitsu Full Name: Lucas Jonas Gomes Leite Nickname: "Loucura" means craziness in Portuguese, because of Lucas Leite's wild character. Lineage: Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie > Helio Gracie > Rolls Gracie > Romero Cavalcanti > Leonardo Vieira > Lucas Leite Main Titles: World Champion (2007, 2005 brown belt) World No Gi Champion (2014, 2011, 2009) Pan American Champion (2015, 2014 closed bracket w/ team mate, 2012, 2009 black, 2007 brown) Grapplers Quest Pro Division Champion (Del Mar 2009, 2007) Sao Paulo State Champion (2006) European Champion (2006) World Championship 2nd Place (2011, 2013, 2015) World No Gi Championship 2nd Place (2013) Abu Dhabi World Pro Championship 2nd Place (2012) Pan American Championship 2nd Place (2014, 2011) World Championship 3rd Place (2014, 2012, 2009) Weight Division: Peso Pesado (94/221lbs), Peso Médio (82kg-181lbs) & Peso Leve (76kg-167lbs) Favourite Position: Half Guard Association/Team: Checkmat BJJ Lucas Leite Biography Lucas Leite was born on the 3rd of November 1982 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Lucas Leite practiced a few sports growing up, but he found out about jiu jitsu when he was around 12 years old, through a VHS cassette that displayed the first Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), seeing Royce Gracie's tremendous display of technique opened young Lucas Leite's eyes to jiu jitsu and he decided to try it. The late Ryan Gracie was Lucas Leite's first jiu jitsu instructor, Leite trained at Ryan's academy for a few years, but he was not an active competitor and took the sport as a hobby. Getting closer to his mid-teens, Lucas Leite lacked the motivation to keep training and eventually abandoned the sport for a whole year. When Lucas Leite decided to return to the mats (at the age of 18), his family had relocated, and it was hard to commute to Ryan Gracie's gym, instead Lucas decided to join Leozinho Vieira's gym, this proved to be a major turning point in Lucas Leite's life. Training alongside a legendary competitor such as Leo Vieira, Lucas Leite started getting more motivated to fight, and became a serious competitor. Leo Vieira is one of the top instructors in the world and helped Lucas Leite develop his (now) famous half guard. He also showed Lucas Leite that he could make a decent living from BJJ and was a major influence in Lucas Leite's decision of becoming a professional jiu jitsu fighter and coach. In 2007 he came to the United States to compete and teach. His gym in California (Upland) became one of the main poles for the Checkmat BJJ team in the USA, the team often puts training camps together for big competitions from his academy, with Lucas Leite as one of the head coaches.

Children and adolescents who eat candy tend to weigh less than their non-consuming counterparts, according to a new study published in Food & Nutrition Research, a peer-reviewed journal.
This is potentially important news given the current state of the childhood obesity epidemic. But lead researcher Carol O'Neil, PhD, MPH, LDN, RD, Louisiana State University Agricultural Center, wants to ensure the study is put into perspective.
"The study illustrates that children and adolescents who consume candy are less likely to be overweight or obese," O'Neil said. "However, the results of this study should not be construed as a hall-pass to overindulge. Candy should not replace nutrient-dense foods in the diet; it is a special treat and should be enjoyed in moderation."
Similar to a sister study that focused on adults (published earlier this year in Nutrition Research), this study examined the association of candy consumption on intakes of total energy, fat, and added sugars; diet quality; weight/adiposity parameters; and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in 11,182 U.S. children 2-13 years of age and adolescents 14-18 years of age participating in the 1999-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
Striking a Balance: Candy and Health
While children and adolescent candy consumers in the study did have slightly higher intakes of total energy and added sugars, they were 22 percent and 26 percent, respectively, less likely to be overweight or obese than non-candy consumerssuggesting their ability to successfully navigate the "calories in, calories out," balance over time.
Specific findings include:
