Nice hotel and cleanPosted 13-Jul-2015
I was surprised by this hotel, although the rating is just 3 , I think they deserved a 4. It's far from Downtown San Francisco, but that's the reason the price is way lower. The rooms are very clean, the staff are friendly and when they say free breakfast, we were expecting doughnuts and coffee, but it was full meal, with bacon, sausages , eggs and make your own waffles . I will definitely use this hotel again next time I'm in town😀

Terrible stayPosted 10-Jul-2015
Pros: none
Cons: none
Location: none
I reserved this for one of our Sales reps visiting from Charlotte. He complained about the cleanliness, staff, facilities and room. I went by the great reviews. Won't be reserving stays her anytime soon.

Great staff.Posted 5-Jul-2015
Very friendly and accommodating staff. Hotel could use some updating. Our room not the cleanest.. Carpet in much need of replacement. Good for a one night stay. Bath and body works products were nice. Breakfast good.

Do yourself a favor and stay elsewherePosted 29-Jun-2015
Pros: Got me to and from the airport. That is it.
Cons: Everything.
Location: Nothing if you are walking.
Toilet wouldn't flush. Tub fixtures rusted. Very noisy. No dining on property. Very very expensive, they said they are going to re-model, my feeling is that they should have reduced the price until they did. Expedia should't send people here. It looks bad for them as there are to many that do the same job as Expedia, I will go elsewhere in the future.

Very enjoyablePosted 28-Jun-2015
Everyone was very friendly. The pick up shuttle drivers were on time helpful, their on duty 24 hours. So no matter what time you arrived at the airport they will pick you up cabs are very costly...Breakfast is free with a very good variety...

Friendly staff and buffet breakfast was goodPosted 22-Jun-2015
Pros: the breakfast and the front desk staff.
Cons: Start time of the buffet and water pressure in the room.
Location: location is ok, if you have appointments in the Palo Alto and San Jose areas.
We checked in late and got there the front desk staff was very helpful and accommodating. The only problem is I requested for a double/double room but it wasn't available when we got there. We got one King bed with a sofa bed, so it was ok but then the toilet flash was not working so we had to move to another room. The buffet could be set up a little early, maybe at 6AM instead of 6:30AM, because if you have an early flight/appointment to catch, you won't get breakfast; also attendant at the buffet was less friendly.

Glad it was just for one night.Posted 20-Jun-2015
We checked in at 3:30 pm, got luggage out of the car and went to the room. Our room was still being cleaned. Yeah, they gave us a room which was not ready. At round 7 pm, wanted to use the microwave, didn't work,. Decide to call the front desk using the room phone right next to the microwave and it doesn't work. So, using my cell phone I called the front desk and she said someone will be right up. 25 minutes pass, no one has come, yet. Called the front again, she was surprised that no one had come. 15 minutes later, service man finally shows up. Not happy that we called him. He checks to see if appliances are plugged in (yeah, we did that already)..he fluffs the cords and now microwave light comes on and the phone works. So, faulty wiring of the cord. He's bit upset that he had to come up just for that and tells us not to mess around with the cords. We didn't do anything to it! Two hours later, the hair dryer doesn't work properly. It only works if you held it at a strange angle. Again, something faulty wiring of the cord. Good thing I brought my own hair dryer! Breakfast next morning. I wasn't expecting much but when we got there, 30 minutes after they opened, they were out of coffee. I point this out and the person in charge of breakfast area is annoyed. I go to the waffle maker and they are out of batter. I return to the breakfast area two hours later. Again, they were out of batter. It took them 20 minutes to refill. Check out time...they didn't give me my AAA discount.

I use it as a meal replacement in the middle of the morning to reach my protein needs. Sometimes i add a scoop to my breakfast juice in order to get extra protein. My husband uses it as his meal before working out and he feels it makes him train with more energy. My nutricionist always says that real food is better, but she thinks this product will do the job because it is a good substitute and have a good formula.
very good taste

Atletico Madrid have also been linked with a move for the 26-year-old, who hit 13 goals in Serie A last season.
The former Fiorentina man helped his side to their highest finish in 22 years as they ended the campaign in seventh to secure a Europa League spot following Parma's exclusion.
Cerci has another two years remaining on his current deal with Torino, and Cairo is optimistic of holding onto the Italy international having already sold Ciro Immobile to Borussia Dortmund this summer.
Cairo said: "It's not just Milan who are interested, but other teams too. I would like to keep him. I still need to find out what the player's intentions are.
"We want to see whether there is a possibility of reaching an agreement with him or whether he is aiming for bigger clubs.
"We are playing in Europe next season, Milan are not."

It's safe to say that Janelle Monáe's 18-song epic The ArchAndroid is a near perfect record, effortlessly jumping between musical genres, vocal acrobatics, and engrossing songwriting. The video for her latest single "Cold War" is a simple enough concept, harking back to Sinéad O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U" and Alanis Morissette's "Head Over Feet". But unlike the former, Monáe's delivery wavers between sincerity and insanity. There's no question of her beauty, which is only escalated by this wonderfully apt video. It's hard to take your eyes off of her, and the lack of distraction only propels the content of the song into sharp focus.

FCC: Spectrum Auction Rules Fulfill Congressional Mandate, Despite NAB Claims

NAB's petition for review, filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, claims that the FCC exceeded congressional intent by electing to use new software for calculating broadcast coverage areas, among other concerns.

Dusty Baker blamed for Reds Opening Day Loss
CINCINNATI, OH - Despite being fired at the end of the 2013 baseball season, former Reds manager Dusty Baker is taking a lot of heat. Baker is being blamed by many Reds fans and reporters for the 2014 Opening Day loss.
"Pete Rose would have had this team ready and running away with it," said sports talk radio caller Darryl from Delhi. "There is no reason that this team should not look like playoff contenders by Opneing Day."
Baker's firing from the team has not relieved any of the constant criticism he took while manager. Enquirer columnist Paul Daugherty has devoted several columns to the subject. "This team does not have a fundamental sense of urgency," wrote Daugherty. "Can this be attributed to the laid back, nonchalant style of Dusty Baker continuing to haunt their psyches and muscle memory? As with most rhetorical questions I ask, the answer is a resounding 'Yes!'"
Increasingly frustrated members of the Reds front office have taken notice of the fan's frustrations. "There is only one goal for this team and that is to win the World Series," said Reds owner Bob Castellini. "It has become apparent that steps we've taken to keep Dusty Baker from interfering with that goal may not have been sufficient. In the coming weeks, we are considering firing him again. We also have plans in place for a group hypnosis session in which all memory of Dusty Baker will be removed from the deep recesses of the minds of players and fans alike."
Baker, as usual, has taken the criticism in stride. When asked how he felt about being blamed for the poor performance of a team which he no longer manages that has a record of 0-1, Baker said, "Well, I guess people are going to say things." He then smiled and stared blankly into the distance, chewing quietly on a toothpick, showing that despite not having a job, he is in mid-season form.

Polaroid Cube Review
The Polaroid Cube has finally arrived, and I got my hands on it some time ago to give it a test. This tiny camera can do it all, from taking wide panoramic photos, to 1080 HD video, all while being less than two inches tall. How does it work, how do the photos and video look, and most importantly, how does it compare side-by-side against a Go Pro Hero camera? We give it an in-depth review in a variety of settings to truly test the capabilities of the Cube and see if it is worth spending your hard-earned bucks on.
If you like the Polaroid Cube and want to buy one for yourself, you can pick it up from Amazon.com at this link here right now.
"PowerHandz" Training Gloves Review
Did you know there are other sports out there besides MMA? I just learned this recently, it's kind of confusing. They all use balls of various sizes and shapes, and you have to throw them into holes, or hit them into nets, or carry them across absurdly long distances. However, you can not kick someone in the head in these sports to take the ball away from someone else, nor can you slam them, armbar them, or do any of the fun stuff we do in MMA, but to each his own.
Today, we look at a new training tool that is meant for more of these mainstream sports, but also has some uses for the combat sports athlete. Specifically, the PowerHandz training gloves. PowerHandz are, according to their official website, "an athletic training product designed to strengthen hand and arm muscles and intensify players' dexterity. The glove combines weight strategically placed around flex points on the top side and sheepskin leather on the palm."
I am reviewing the "Pure Grip" glove, but they also come in the anti-grip style, which has an anti-friction material on them to make it more difficult to grip the ball, and therefore make you train harder to maintain control of the ball. There is also a version of this glove for holding golf clubs and the "extreme" one, which is meant for "extreme conditions". The company also makes anti-grip wraps for basketballs and footballs, both priced at $20.
The purpose of the grip glove is to enhance your ability to hold and maintain control of whatever ball you are using in your game, or holding a bat, stick or club. The palm is made from skeep skin, combined with a durable, stretchy nylon and lycra gussets to give you more flexibility as your hands move. Along the fingers and on the back of the hand, there are small pounches of iron sand to add mass and weight to the gloves. Velcro wraps around your wrists like a motorcycle glove to keep your hands nice and tight inside them.
Made for both kids and adults from sizes small to XXL, the gloves are easy to wear and use. The difference is like night and day when it comes to catching balls without them, but since this is a site that focuses on martial arts, I found some other applications for the PowerHandz gloves. For the traditional martial artist, these gloves would be good for training with weapons, like Kendo, to add more weight to your hands as well as making it easier to grip your sword (likewise for nunchuks, tonfas, bo staffs, and most other weapons).
For coaches, these gloves could be good to use on students in self-defense training, especially for breaking grips and holds. I could also see wrestlers wearing these, but not sure about BJJ or other submission grappling arts, since the iron sand finger pouches might make things more arduous in a negative way, giving an advantage to the person not wearing the gloves when it comes to escaping submissions, while making it easier for the person wearing the gloves to hold the other persons limbs.
The best use of these gloves for martial artists and combat sports athletes is general training. These are the perfect way to increase the difficulty in general exercise and crossfit routines. You can also wear these gloves underneath boxing gloves to add more weight to your hands. There are other weighted gloves that you can use when you train, but the mass is usually centered on just the back of the hand. The PowerHandz gloves have the weight spread out more evenly, which is a plus for training.
The PowerHandz gloves cost $70 for a pair in any style or size. If you are a serious ball player or into fitness, these are the gloves for you. For any sport with a ball or stick, PowerHandz are a good way to train more efficiently and play better. When it comes to martial arts, the same can be said, it just takes a little creativity.

Two title fights headline UFC 189
In one of the most anticipated matchups in UFC® history, reigning featherweight champion Jose Aldo goes head-to-head with Irish superstar Conor McGregor in the main event of UFC 189, Saturday, July 11 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Plus, newly crowned welterweight champion Robbie Lawler makes his first title defense against No. 2 Rory MacDonald in the co-main event. The two world title fights will be the signature events of UFC's International Fight Weekâ"¢, which kicks off July 7 in Las Vegas, the home of the UFC.
Aldo (25-1, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), second in the pound-for-pound rankings, looks to continue his historic reign and remain the only featherweight champion in UFC history. He will attempt an eighth straight successful title defense against polarizing Irish sensation McGregor (17-2, fighting out of Dublin, Ireland), a winner of 13 straight. After several heated exchanges through the press and social media, these adversaries will finally meet in the five-round main event. The talking ends July 11.
Plus, UFC welterweight champion Lawler (25-10, 1NC, fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla.) will make his first title defense in a rematch against a young and hungry MacDonald (18-2, fighting out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada). Lawler handed MacDonald his only loss in the last five years at UFC 167 in November 2013, and then went on to defeat top-ranked contenders Jake Ellenberger and Matt Brown before taking the 170-pound title from Johny Hendricks by decision. MacDonald has rattled off three straight wins over Demian Maia, Tyron Woodley and Tarec Saffiedine to secure his title shot and rematch with the champ.
Additional bouts will be announced soon.
Bellator MMA signs wrestling star Bobby Lashley to a long-term contract extension
Bellator MMA announced today that superstar heavyweight Bobby Lashley (12-2) has signed a long-term contract extension with the promotion. Lashley is a perfect 2-0 under the Bellator banner, and 10 of his 12 victories have come by way of stoppage.
The 6'3 wrestling standout started training in the sport at age 12, and would go on to win several titles including three National Championships at Missouri Valley College, an NAIA National Championship, a CISM World Championship Silver Medal and a two-time Armed Forces Wrestling Championship when he served in the United States Army.
With his amazing wrestling pedigree, "The Dominator" signed a developmental contract with the WWE in 2004 and made his professional debut for the organization in 2005. Lashley would go on to fight for ECW and TNA as well, but wanted to prove himself in the world of MMA.
In 2008, Lashley began training in MMA full time with the American Top Team (ATT) gym in Coconut Creek Florida. He would later open his own ATT gym in Denver, CO, and trains between the two facilities with several respected athletes including Josh Barnett, Antonio "Big Foot Silva", and Todd Duffee.
"I've had two fights with Bellator, and I'm happy to be calling the promotion my home," said Lashley. "Scott Coker and the company have really reignited my desire to fight and I'm looking forward to a huge year with some dominant wins."
Superhero "Phoenix Jones" makes WSOF debut at WSOF 20 on April 10
A war hero versus a real-life superhero — both fast-rising stars in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Who do you root for?
That is the question that fans will be faced with when Emmanuel Walo (7-2-1) squares off with undefeated Ben Fodor (5-0-1), also known as costumed crime fighter "Phoenix Jones," in a welterweight (170 pounds) contest at the much-anticipated WSOF 20: Branch vs. Markes event at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. on Friday, April 10, live on NBCSN.
"This is a matchup between two of the most prolific prospects in our great sport, and a fabulous addition to our first-ever event in Conn. that is already stacked with a tremendous lineup of talent," said WSOF President, six-time world champion and two-time Hall of Famer Ray Sefo.
Another new addition to the WSOF 20 fight card will see Steve Mocco (4-1) of Coconut Creek, Fla. battle Juliano Coutinho (6-1) of West Yarmouth, Mass. in a heavyweight tilt.
In the midst of his fourth year as a professional fighter, the 28-year-old Walo of Jersey City, N.J. is also a member of the National Guard who saw action in Iraq during the war there. It was while he was stationed in Iraq that Walo was introduced to MMA through a fellow U.S. military operative and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt who offered to teach Walo
After returning home from combat, Walo followed what had become his passion, reeling off a 2-0 record in amateur MMA competition in 2011, before making the jump to the professional ranks.
Walo received a rude awakening in his professional debut on Dec. 10, 2011, losing a unanimous decision to Michael Wilcox, but rebounded and went unbeaten in his next eight starts.
The 26-year-old Fodor of Seattle, Wash. signed a multi-fight contract last week with WSOF after being covered in a compelling feature segment on ESPN SportsCenter that profiled his strenuous lifestyle as both a prize fighter and a costumed crime fighter dedicated to curbing street crimes and assisting people in distress in Seattle's streets.
Fodor is coming off a third round (3:06) technical submission (rear-naked choke) victory over Jason Novelli on Feb. 21, 2015.
In the main event, reigning WSOF World Middleweight (185 pounds) Champion David Branch (15-3) will move up to light heavyweight (205 pounds) and face off with fellow Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Ronny Markes (15-3) in what represents the second bout of the multi-event WSOF tournament that will crown its winner the promotion's inaugural world light heavyweight champion.
In the lightweight (155 pounds) co-main event, Melvin "The Young" Assassin Guillard (32-14-2, 2 NC) of New Orleans, La. will collide with fellow hard-hitting, KO artist Ozzy Dugulubgov (6-2) of Hackensack, N.J.
Leading off the live NBCSN telecast that will begin at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT, is another lightweight matchup between Nick Newell (11-1) of Springfield, Mass. and Joe Condon (12-7) of Victorville, Calif.

NJPW on AXS TV: Episode 10 Review – Tanahashi VS Nakamura
Disclaimer: If it was not for Japanese pro wrestling, I doubt my love for MMA would have became as huge as it did. When I first started becoming aware of the world of MMA outside of the UFC in the very late '90's, I was lucky to have a tape trader that was within walking distance of my house. He was stocked up on all of the past Pride FC events (which was how I first saw that promotion), as well as other fight shows from around the world, not limited to Vale Tudo matches, Pancrase, RINGS, and many others. Being a pro wrestling fan as well, this opened my eyes up to New Japan Pro Wrestling, All Japan Pro Wrestling, Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling, and some of the garbage promotions like IWA and BJW.
Long story short, I got as hooked on Japanese pro wrestling as much as I did MMA, but the biggest problem was figuring out what the heck was going on. It only took around 17 years from when I first started watching it for someone to get the bright idea to translate it into English and air it in the US, and surprisingly it was AXS TV. I already interviewed the English-speaking commentary team, Mauro Ranallo and Josh Barnett, some time ago to discuss all of this, and have been happy to hear that the show has been doing pretty well. I was even more happy to hear that AXS wanted me to review an episode of the show before it aired. The best news of all - the episode was going to feature Hiroshi Tanahashi VS Shinsuke Nakamura.
For whatever reason, MMA fans tend to split drastically on liking pro wrestling, let alone tolerating it if they dislike it. For the haters, stick with me for a second because I hope to convert you by the end of this. This modern era of NJPW will get you hooked on puroresu, just watch the clip above teasing this upcoming episode.
This specific match is from January 2014's "Wrestle Kingdom 8", which is NJPW's equivalent of Wrestlemania. Tanahashi has been the golden boy of NJPW for awhile and had held the prestigious IWGP Heavyweight title six times already, but after losing the belt to his rival, Kazuchika Okada, was forced to move on to new pastures. Only a few years early, NJPW created their very first Intercontinental title, which was mostly midcard wrestlers who were not too important. Then along came Shinsuke Nakamura, "The King of Strong Style" who was known for his affinity of Michael Jackson and incredibly stiff style of wrestling that often involved kneeing or kicking the life out of his opponents. Nakamura won the IC title and became a hugely popular super-heel in the promotion, and named Tanahashi as his choice for #1 contender to meet him at Wrestle Kingdom 8... in the main event. Yup, a second-rate title was the main event of NJPW's Wrestlemania show, because the fans voted for what would be the closer for this event, and Tanahashi VS Nakamura won by a landslide because they are just that damn good.
And that brings us to the match, which you can watch on March 20 on AXS TV. This match brought a lot of much-needed gravitas to the Intercontinental title, and put Nakamura in the running as the future top heel in NJPW while giving Tanahashi the boost he needed to start working his way back up to the top of the mountain in NJPW. Tanahashi is a risk-taker known for his top-rope maneuvers, while Nakamura is a no-nonsense brawler who would rather kick your teeth in rather than grapple, even though he can do that just as good as anyone else on the roster.
This clash of styles made for a very interesting match that certainly did not go the way fans expected it to. The slams, strikes, and psychology of which wrestler would adapt or reinvent their idealogy in the match will keep you on the edge of your seat. This was not the first time that Nakamura and Tanahashi had met in the ring (they previously held tag team titles together), but this bout had a ton of hype and momentum behind it, which you can listen to Mauro Ranallo explain more during the episode.
35,000 fans were in the Tokyo Dome that night when Tanahashi and Nakamura went to battle, and you few skeptics out there who might not be into pro wrestling will most likely be freaking out by the end of the match. If you think pro wrestling is just fake and soft, you need to see Nakamura dropping hard knees on the ground like he was Kevin Randleman in Pride FC. I would say Nakamura is the main reason behind my renewed interest in NJPW and once you see this match, you will become addicted too.
Last month, Barnett appeared on the MMA Hour and, among other notable news, announced that NJPW on AXS TV was highly likely to get renewed for another season. New episodes of this will continue to air until mid-April, at which point puroresu fans will wait with bated breath for more New Japan action with official English commentary. Do not worry about not knowing who anyone is, you will figure it out quicky. As someone who has not followed modern Japanese wrestling in years, I was able to catch on quick courtesy of AXS TV's english commentary team and good choices in matches, letting you figure out who is who due to each wrestlers distinct style. If you have not seen any of this show yet, this is the episode to watch and start catching up with.
Tanahashi VS Nakamura from Wrestle Kingdom 8 will air on NJPW on AXS TV on March 20 at 8 PM EST.
Tito Ortiz Wants To Set Up Retirement With Bellator Gold
Tito Ortiz has always been one of the most divisive figures in MMA. The "Huntington Beach Bad Boy" was the UFC's most prominent champion for a time in the early 2000s and his oneÂsided grudge matches with Ken Shamrock were PPV hits for the company. He was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame and will always be hailed as one of the leading lights who helped to get them through some dark days. His big mouth and often wild claims have not endeared him to every fan but it is hard to suggest that he is not a legend in the sport.
It seemed for a long time that Ortiz was done, in a competitive capacity at least. Following a loss to Forrest Griffin in 2012 and only one win in his last nine fights, he closed the door on his career. It did not take much to woo him back. Ortiz inked a deal with Bellator and was scheduled to return in November of 2013 against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, who was himself a former UFC lightÂheavyweight champion.
Though injury sidelined that fight, Ortiz was determined to fight again. He was deemed healthy last year and went on to put together an unexpected resurgence. Bellator's middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko moved up to 205 lbs to face Ortiz in a feature fight and the Californian needed just half a round to dispatch his Russian foe with an arm triangle. He had convinced the doubters that he was not done just yet, and went on to beat Stephan Bonnar by split decision in November to go 2Â0 under the Bellator banner.
This puts him in a position not many expected  as a legitimate contender to the title. Ortiz is light years ahead of most Bellator fighters when it comes to being in the mainstream consciousness and they would be stupid not to capitalize on that while he is still capable. Liam McGeary recently took the title with a hardÂfought win over Emanuel Newton, and now Ortiz is eyeing up that silverware before he retires.
@liam_mcgeary congrats on the fight #Bellator134 enjoy it now because I'm coming for that title! #OrtizChamp2015— Tito Ortiz (@titoortiz) March 1, 2015
With two more fights on his agenda, the chance to win the Bellator gold and then head out with a successful title defense would be the dream scenario. "Get that world title, defend it and retire as champion," he asserted. With Ortiz's pulling power, McGeary's championship gold and the building tensions, it would be very surprising if the fight was not made imminently to make the most of the ensuing coverage and bring in the audience.
However, despite his immediate plans, again Ortiz is making plans for his life after fighting. "I want to go on to bigger things," offered the UFC Hall of Famer. Being a world champion does not leave much room for improvement, but he does have some options available to him, many of which he has already started to nurture along the way to form the bedrock of his retirement plan.
Though he officially stepped down as Cris 'Cyborg' Santos' manager last year, under the guise of Primetime 360 Entertainment and Sports Management, Ortiz will likely further his interests there. For someone known to like the limelight, it allows him to stay in the media's eye, while also utilizing the knowledge and respect he has accrued over his 18Âyear fight career. Whereas, in general, most MMA managers are low key and behind the scenes, Ortiz was front of stage when accompanying "Cyborg", and he would no doubt blend well into a more vocal role like we see in the boxing world.
On top of that, to keep his hand in the sport of mixed martial arts, Ortiz used the days of PPV points and championship money to fund his brand Punishment Athletics, as well as his gym in Huntington Beach, Punishment Training Center. As much as the detractors have piled in to Ortiz over the years, you cannot deny that he used his brain when needed. A combat career is a short one and the good times do not always last. Using his business sense to fund these projects and help them develop while he was active means he has a more viable future with them when the cage no longer calls.
Another potentially lucrative avenue that Ortiz is exploring is his increasing love for poker, which is also leading to more success. There are many attributes he has honed as an athlete that will help in that one, and it's not uncommon now for us to see crossover between the two. The poker tables have been encroaching more and more into MMA territory over the past few years and we're seeing an increased amount of fighters use their focus and commitment to have success on thetables. "It's just repetition," said Ortiz. "In fighting it's the same thing."
As well as furthering his own interests, it looks like Ortiz is also willing to invest his time into others. Not just through his gym or management, but by giving his time to motivate others in different capacities. After knowing some struggles in his life, Ortiz found sanctuary in wrestling and then MMA. Now you can often see him giving back to the community with speaking roles and mentorship. Despite the brash exterior that has to hype fights, Ortiz recognizes the need to inspire the next generation and that is a noble quest, especially when he has a lot of irons in the fire.
Purely speculatively, after he has strapped on the 4oz gloves for the last time, it would not be a surprise if Ortiz moves into his own promotion. He has always been at loggerheads with Dana White, has been a fierce critic of the UFC and their huge market share, and he knows what fighters want from a fighter's perspective, not from the perspective of a promoter who is ultimately using them for profit.
Whatever he does and however much he sticks around, MMA has a lot to thank Ortiz for. There is no doubt we will still be seeing that distinctive hair style on the homepages of MMA media sites for years to come  a character like Ortiz does not like too long without the focus being on him.

Jeffrey Brown, Ming Doyle, Michael Kupperman and several other creators have contributed to The Comic Book Fan's Worst NIGHTMARE!, a mini-comic that highlights the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's current casework. In particular, the comic highlights the case of "Brandon X," who is facing a minimum sentence of one year in prison for possessing horror and fantasy manga on his laptop computer. His case is expected to go to trial in 2012, and legal expenses are estimated to run around $150,000.
You can read the whole comic on the CBLDF site or download it via comiXology.

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Ross.Anderson.
I am working on a secure messaging protocol for patients and clinicians. At the moment, patients are sending their questions over e-mail to NHS clinicians and the clinicians are forced to either ignore the questions – because of the insecurity of the medium – or send clinical information in the clear – because of trying to serve the patient's immediate clinical needs.I am hoping to offer a better service that is more secure but minimizes impact on clinicians' workflow, i.e. by allowing them to continue to use their NHS e-mail. I need to know from the group:
By way of background, my name is Mohammad (www.mo.md) and I trained as a physician at Cambridge University and a programmer at Anglia Ruskin University. I wrote six books about the use of IT in health care but have no expertise in security so was hoping to benefit from the Friday security group meetings.

Q. What is the significance of the title in the movie, "Shine?" (Grace Jablow, Palm Springs, CA.)
A. "Shine," the story of the gifted pianist David Helfgott, who had an emotional breakdown and a slow recovery, is one of this year's top Oscar candidates, but the title bears no apparent relationship to the movie. Scott Hicks, its director, tells me: "I have a favorite piece of music from the 70's--Pink Floyd's 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond.' I hoped to use it in the film as the lyrics were so appropriate (being about Syd Barrett, founding member of Pink Floyd, who went off the rails and retired to the shadows very young). However, the cost was prohibitive. I told Jan Sardi, who wrote the screenplay, about the track, and he played it a lot during periods of waiting. When we were agonizing over a title, Jan (being a master of reduction) suggested 'Shine.' It seemed to convey the feeling of optimism and uplift that I had felt when I first saw David play, and which I wanted to share with the audience. During the title search we toyed with dozens of ideas. My first draft of the script was called 'Flight of the Bumblebee' for example. Later I tried 'The Piece for Elephants'(!) which was Rachmaninov's name for his Third Piano Concerto. But 'Shine' was destined to stick--thank goodness!"
Q. I saw Wes Craven's "Scream" last week. At the very end of the credits, it says, "No thanks whatsoever" to the school at which "Scream" was partially filmed. Did Craven and the school have a falling out? Or, was this an inside joke? I've never seen a movie with end credits saying NO THANKS! (Michael Hatch)
A. Janet Hill of Miramax tells me, "The Santa Rosa School District reneged on a verbal agreement to allow the production to school in that school. At the 11th hour, Craven had to find another location. The school in the movie was filmed at the Sonoma Community Center in Sonoma, CA." Robin Warder of the CompuServe Showbiz Forum adds: "What made Craven really mad was that the very week after, the same school allowed Ron Howard to film a movie there. Apparently, they were happier to accomodate Opie than the creator of Freddy Krueger!"
Q. I recently saw "Evita" at my local theater. The projectionist loaded two of the reels in reversed order, so that Eva Peron toured Europe and returned to start her foundation before she and Juan Peron were married and Peron was elected to the presidency! I alerted the manager to this, who told me I was the first to bring this to his attention after four days in the theater, so several hundred people saw a major portion of the film out of chronological order. What's disturbing to me is that they weren't sufficiently aware of this glitch to report the error. What does this say about the quality of the screenplay of this show, and (horrors!) the knowledge of history of those in the audience? I saw the movie on Saturday, told the manager on Monday, and went to see itagain Tuesday afternoon, and the problem still wasn't solved! Do you have any suggestions as to how I can convince the manager of the theater that I'm right and not just some crazy person? (Thomas P. Pusateri, Dubuque, Iowa)
A. I have no suggestions. Anyone who pays intelligent attention to the continuity and logic of a modern film is obviously deranged in some way.
Q. When I went to the Beavis and Butthead movie, I wasn't expecting them to be sitting in front of me. You may remember the scenes in which our erstwhile heroes are crawling through the desert, dying of thirst. Beavis takes that big bite of "cactus," and things start happening. Well, at that point, the two morons in front of me said (in stereo), "Dude, 'shrooms!" (Katherine Keller, Las Vegas, Nev.)
A. Heh, heh.
Q. Saw the trailer for "The Lost World," Spielberg's sequel to "Jurassic Park," and it had an in-theater gimmick I'd never seen before. As lightning flashes onscreen, lights in the back of the theater flash in sync. The flashing must be cued by inaudible signals on the digital soundtrack. I'm wondering if many theaters around the country have been set up with this little piece of showmanship. (Joseph Kaufman, Hollywood, CA.)
A. Spielberg expert Steven Sherman of Montreal replies: "There's a list of theaters that have been prepped for the special trailer on "The Lost World" home page, at www.lost-world.com. Is Spielberg trying to be William Castle (The Tingler) all of a sudden?"
Q. I ran across something in a recent Bill Gates column that I thought you'd enjoy. Gates writes, "It surprises me that movie studios can't spend, say, 10 percent of budget to create a trailer and then do focus groups to predict how popular the movie will be and whether production should continue. That must not work or somebody would have done it by now--but it stuns me that it doesn't." (Paul Kedrovsky, London, Ontario)
A. Trailers always feature the big stars and the most spectacular special effects (the White House being blown up, etc). Think of the cost of hiring stars and doing special effects only for a trailer! It would be much more than 10 percent; I think the trailer for "Mission: Impossible" showed every big scene in the movie. Would a Tom Cruise sign up to do a trailer on spec? Gates' statement goes a long way, however, toward explaining the methods of the software industry.
Q. In your review of "The Relic," you wrote: "Early in the film, Dr. Green tells Lt. D'Agosta about the tanks of chemicals they use to strip the flesh from rhino bones. Later in the film, she hides in such a tank herself, yet emerges with all her flesh." Actually, these tanks contained only water. (James Benson, Kaneville, IL)
A. I must have heard wrong. I thought they contained some kind of solvent, and then the beetles ate the remaining flesh. But you must be right; Dr. Green, played by Penelope Ann Miller, emerges with all her bones still wonderfully upholstered.
Q. Is "Michael Korda," the villain played by Michael Wingate in Eddie Murphy's "Metro," meant to be an inside reference to Michael Korda the famous New York publisher and author? (Charlie Smith, Chicago)
A. According to Thomas Carter, the director, "It is a coincidence that the names are the same. No inference was intended to link the publisher to the character." Besides, it's such a common name.
Q. I'd like to give you my nominee (early, I know) for worst film of the entire 1990's. It is "Weekend At Bernie's, Part II." As you recall, the original film was a comedy about a weekend party with a corpse which nobody notices is dead. My favorite aspect was that "Sunday" in the first film took place in 1987 and "Monday" in the second film happened around 1993. Andrew McCarthy especially didn't age too well overnight! I remember saying to my wife, "What happened to HIM?" (Jim Crossan, Columbia, South Carolina)
A. And he wasn't even the corpse.
Q. You will be delighted to know that "Jungle 2 Jungle," starring Tim Allen and Martin Short in an American remake of the French film "Little Indian, Big City," will be released on March 14. Since you selected "Little Indian" as one of the worst films of 1996, save space on the '97 worst list now. (Michael Dequina, Los Angeles)
A. Although remakes are usually inferior to the films that inspired them, no film could possibly be worse than "Little Indian, Big City," so I am cautiously optimistic.

Recent Puerto Escondido reviews
"We stayed at Casa De Los Suenos for Christmas week. When we arrived we were immediately amazed at how beautiful the property was. It is exactly as represented by the pictures. The house is open, modern and spacious. The pool is wonderfully designed with many different areas to hang out in, and various depths for all ages. The Palapa is large and accommodating. The Beach is steps away and practically deserted in both directions. The staff is attentive and keeps the place spotless. It is so peaceful and private we seldom wanted to venture out other than to get a meal in town. It was like being at our own 5 star resort. We would definitely return in the future."Guest: John B.

"exelente lugar mucho mejor de lo que esperaba un lugar super exclucivo las habitaciones amplias y de buen gusto la estancia te hace sentir como en casa y la vista es de primer nivel sus albercas limpias y de buen gusto una vista de ensueno a la bahia el tener todos los servicios incluidos labadora secadora entre otras cosas te da una seguridad de poder pasar no una semana sino meses y el costo de arrendamiento muy por debajo de lo que vale lo recomiendo ampliamente"Guest: victor Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 22, 2014View listing
"Delightful home two lots up from the beach. The owners are very easy to deal with, and answered any questions we had. The main living area of the home is small, but we were outside almost all the time, enjoying the lanai by the beautiful pool, as well as the roof top deck. Comfortable beds in the bedroom, and nice big thick towels for the bath and beach made us feel at home. The kitchen is well equipped, and there is also laundry facilities. Great location for walking the beach, both to the main area of Zicatela, as well as La Punta. We found a car helpful for getting groceries, as well as exploring the surrounding area. There is a secure covered area to keep your car. The home is kept spotless by Eva, the housekeeper, and the grounds and pool are very well maintained. We would recommend this excellent property to anyone."Guest: Mary and Rick Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: February 27, 2015View listing
"We stayed in the house for one week with six persons and I have to say that it's just perfect. It is beautiful decorated and very complete in equipment. The roof top has an insane view of the whole beach and you see the surf from there. Also the house is very clean and the rooms are very big. We can highly recommend this property and definitely trying to come back as soon as possible!!"Guest: Mathias E. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: July 7, 2015View listing

This location is shown only to members
By popular demand we are going to tweak this meetup a bit, we hope you like it. We would like you to come with your book recommendations and join us for a low key night out with a list of book recommendations you would like to share or a list of subjects you are trying to find books on or wish someone in the whole wide world would have written a book about because one of our members may know of such a book already in existence. These subjects can be targeted toward African Americans or hair, gender roles, workplace issues, romance books, fiction or non-fiction basically everything is game, we do not care, whatever you want to dish about bring it and we are going to be ready to dish. I know during our Kandi Koated meetup FSOG (Fifty Shades of Grey) was brought up and I had to recommend something better on the spot so I am hoping those members or going to let me know what they thought when they come. So the spirit of this meetup is drinks, fun and hanging with our GC members new and old (time in the group, not age do not come looking for me with angry eyes, lol).
Any questions post them in the comments below or as always just email one of us!
