World Series of Fighting debuted on the NBC Sports Network in November of 2012 and pulled in a respectable 198,000 viewers, but this was before their multi-fight deal was signed. Since that time, World Series of Fighting has increased viewership, pulling in 210,000 viewers for their second show, 201,000 viewers for the third show and most recently 264,000 viewers for their fourth show in August.
This is without virtually any notable support from the network itself, at least visibly on their website or through social media.
With a fight card less than a week away, the NBC Sports Network page currently set up for World Series of Fighting currently reflects the World Series of Fighting 4 card from August and videos from that night of fights.
Having a television partner in MMA has been crucial to the sport's overall success in the last eight years. The UFC signing a multi-million dollar deal with Fox Sports was considered a game changer in the industry, and since signing that deal the network has placed the sport prominently on all of their stations in terms of advertising as well as appearances during key NFL games and other sporting events.
Bellator was recently purchased by Viacomthe broadcast company that owns several major television networks including Spike TV, where the promotion is currently shown. It's hard to find a day or time where Spike TV isn't promoting Bellator or doing a cross-promotion advertisement with the company or its athletes.
Meanwhile, the NBC Sports Network can't seem to be bothered to even note that there is a fight card taking place on Saturday night.

The product, 3 1/4" nails work very well. Shipping the product has it's problems. Original box was re-taped all over yet the box came apart in shipping and about 10% of nails damaged. Not sure if Bostitch should use heavier boxes or CPO should ship in additional box. Ordered Framing nailer and nails together. Rethink ordering nails again since they are very heavy and box likely to come apart again. Although UPS delivered product, I feel product should have been better packed.

The loss was Chattanooga's first on the year after making a 4-0 run to start the season. UTC is now 4-1 overall and will open Southern Conference play hosting Wofford Thursday, November 29 at the Roundhouse.
Lady Mocs senior Kayla Christopher (Oliver Springs, Tenn.) started the game making six of her first attempts including four 3-pointers and ended the game with a season-high 27 points and a career-best seven shots from beyond the arc, second most in school history. She now has 178 on the year. Christopher was named to the All-Tournament team for her effort.
Chattanooga held a four-point lead throughout most of the first half getting up as much as six, but saw it slip away in the waning minutes of the opening period behind four points from Jackie Nared to cut the lead to two and a layup from Carli Rosenthal tied it 18-18 at the 5:56 mark.
Christopher made two of her four first-half 3-pointers to put Chattanooga up 24-20 with 4:49 to play in the opening frame, but Nared responded with two of her own and the Gaels took the lead for good 26-24 at the 2:30 mark and would lead 30-26 at the break.
Saint Mary's Nared capped off a second half 17-5 run with a layup to give the Gaels their largest lead of the game, 47-31, with 15:55 to play. The Lady Mocs responded behind five points from Christopher to cut the lead to eight, 51-43, at the 11:30 mark of the half.
The Gaels would continue to push its lead back to double digits despite offensive pressure from the Lady Mocs over the next seven minutes. However, Chattanooga finally cracked the defense and pulled to within one point, 68-67 on a 3-pointer from Christopher, capping off a 14-5 run from UTC in the closing stages.
Chattanooga tried to strategize its way back into the game by fouling SMC's Morgan Hatten. She would hit the second of her two free throws to put the Gaels up 69-67 with 17 seconds to play. Chattanooga got the ball back on the possession change and ran the floor. Freshman Tatianna Jackson (Atlanta, Ga.) missed a 3-point attempt and junior Alex Black (Memphis, Tenn.) was on hand to grab the offensive board. Her quick put back hit off the front of the rim and back into her hands, but an errant pass to Jackson went out of bounds.
UTC put Nared, who was 7-of-7 from the charity stripe for the game, at the free throw line and she would only hit one of her two shots, but with 2.1 seconds on the clock, Chattanooga couldn't get down the court for a shot and fell for the first time this season.
Christopher closed out the game with 27 points, making 10-of-14 from the field and 7-of-10 from the 3-point line. She had two rebounds, two assists and a pair of steals in 27 minutes of play. Junior Taylor Hall (New Tazewell, Tenn.) had 12 points, four rebounds and three steals. Sophomore Ka'Vonne Towns (Lilburn, Ga.) matched her career-highs with 11 points and six rebounds. She was 3-of-4 from beyond the arc and made two of her four free throw attempts.
Senior Kylie Lambert (Etowah, Tenn.) and junior Alex Black (Memphis, Tenn.) each had six rebounds and combined for nine of Chattanooga 14 assists. Chattanooga forced the Gaels into 15 miscues that resulted in 16 points off turnovers and their 17 offensive rebounds translated into 17 second chance points. The Lady Mocs got 23 points from the bench compared to Saint Mary's 19 while the Gaels outscored UTC in the paint 16-12.
Chattanooga will open the Southern Conference season Thursday, Nov, 29 at the McKenzie Arena. Tickets are on sale at the McKenzie Arena box office. Call 423-425-MOCS (6627) or log onto www.GoMocs.com for more information.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
An '09-renovated resort that bests the nearby Hilton
Tucked into a swiftly developing resort complex just around the corner from the Lihue Airport, this gargantuan 356-room, family-focused Marriott offers a huge, Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, the biggest single-level pool in all of Hawaii (26,000 square feet), five affordably priced restaurants with a local following, a free fitness center with exercise classes, and a beachfront on Kalapaki Beach, which is great for both surfing and swimming.
Only the Hilton Kauai compares in terms of price and features, but the choice between these two resorts is clear: The Kauai Marriott offers the better beach (Kalapaki's soft sand and excellent surfing versus the Hilton's rocky coastline), a better fitness center with a separate aerobics studio, and a greater variety of restaurants (five to the Hilton's middling two). After the Kauai Marriott's $50 million renovation, the gap has grown even more pronounced. Beautiful bathrooms with Kohler basins resting atop black granite counters and sleek black wooden cabinetry; huge 42-inch LG flat-screens; contemporary furniture in shades of orange and red (inspired by the colors of the Japanese garden in the center of the hotel) to replace the staid, chain-hotel furnishings of yore: It has the look of a chic boutique hotel, but the amenities of a grand resort.
As part of the Marriott Vacation Club time-share program, the Marriottt converted some of its units into one- and two-bedroom time-share condos. Unfortunately, these units are also in the section of the hotel that is closest to the water. There are still beautiful units with ocean views (many of which include a view of the pool as well), but to get as close to the ocean as possible, you'll have to stay in a time-share or hotel suite.
All you'd expect from a mega-resort, from room service to poolside drink service
An extensive staff -- multiple front-desk receptionists; dedicated concierges; porters; poolside drink servers -- makes sure guests' needs are attended to. While the bellmen failed to help me with my bags, they do stand at the ready to hail cabs and check in luggage. Room service is not 24 hours, but if your express breakfast is not there within 15 minutes -- it's free.
Just a mile from Lihue airport; bordering kid-friendly Kalapaki Beach
Just off one of Lihue's main roads, (Rice Street), the Kauai Marriott shares a well-manicured resort development with both the Kauai Lagoons golf course (managed by the Marriott), the privately owned Grand Residences by Marriott, and the tony Ritz-Carlton residences. With a car (and one ought to have a car in Kauai) many sites and necessities come within easy reach via Kuhio Highway. (Or walking, you can still reach the next-door Anchor Cove shopping center and its sports bar, Kalapaki Joe's.)
Only resort directly on Kalapaki Beach, a soft-sand beach protected from rip currents
Kauai Marriott is the only hotel in Kauai that fronts versatile, kid-friendly Kalapaki Beach. Free of debris and driftwood, Kalapaki is guarded from strong currents and undertows as it lies in its own separate cove, making it excellent for swimming, bodyboarding, and beginner's surfing -- unlike the nearby Hilton's ruggedly beautiful but rocky coastline.
Large, stylish rooms with beautiful Kohler sinks and 42-inch flat-screens
After the Kauai Marriott's $50-million renovation, the gap between it and the less-impressive Hilton has grown even more pronounced. Almost all of the 356 guest rooms' previously staid, chain-hotel furnishings, old tube TVs, and standard bathroom fixtures have been jettisoned for beautiful bathrooms with Kohler sinks, 42-inch LG flat-screens, and contemporary furniture in colorful, contrasting shades of orange and red.
You can't get more features for this low a price.
The Grand Hyatt might best the Kauai Marriott in features, but it can also cost twice as much. You won't find this many features for this low a price -- and definitely not at the nearby Hilton.
Biggest in Hawaii
Although the nearby Hilton may have five pools and a 90-foot waterslide, it can't compare to the grandeur of the Kauai Marriott's phenomenal pool facilities. Only the Grand Hyatt on the south shore on Kauai, with its lazy-river pool and infinity lagoon large enough to kayak in, can best Kauai Marriott's 26,000-square-foot super-pool -- the largest single-level pool in the entire state.
The two Jack Nicklaus-designed, 18-hole courses are under renovation, with only part of the famous Kiele Course open.
Due to renovations, only 18 holes in total of the two Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses at Kauai Lagoons are open: 12 holes of the Kiele Course, rated #56 among Golf Digest's "America's 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses," and six holes of the Mokihana course. The remaining 9-hole-course Kiele Wiaikahe was completed in Spring of 2011, and has a total of 27 holes (compared to 36 holes previously). Rates start at $95 for an afternoon round. For cheaper golfing, take a 10-minute drive (about five miles) to the incredibly affordable ($32 to $44) Wailua Municipal Golf Course -- voted as one of Hawaii's 15 best golf courses by Golf Digest.
With its 26,000-square-foot pool, shallow-water section of the beach (to the left), and free rollaways, the Kauai Marriott beats most other mega-resorts on the island (Sheraton Kauai, Hilton Kauai) in kid-friendly amenities and activities. Its only competition is the Grand Hyatt, which has a kayak-able pool and interactive parrot demonstrations.
Renovated in 2009 and very clean
Well-maintained grounds; scrubbed bathrooms; dust-free rooms -- but the hallways and elevators looked a little scuffed up.
Five tasty restaurants offering fresh fish, Pacific Rim, all-American hamburgers, and local cuisine
With greater number of restaurants and variety than the nearby Hilton, and cheaper menu prices (for the most part) than at the Sheraton and Grand Hyatt, Kauai Marriott's dining options really beats out what's offered at the major chain-hotel resorts on the island.
Renovated in 2009, this 356-room, family-oriented resort on Kalapaki Beach boasts big flat-screens in every room, a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, and the biggest single-level pool in Hawaii. It might not have the fancy frills of the pricier Grand Hyatt, but it's still the best resort for the buck in Kauai.

There seems to be this complaint about players rarely chat anymore.
But everytime i logged into any online games (MMO or not), the chat channels are always filled with chatter. So where is this strange notion coming from?
Last time i was in STO, D3, PoE (you name it), there are always chat about price checks, gameplay (how do i increase my dps? Where is the best place to farm? Where i can buy x?), and even rl stuff.
In fact, i found that most online games are as much a chat room as games. If chat and down-time is what you want ... just pause what you are doing, and talk in channels. There are plenty of people to talk to.

Depends on the game but I didn't see many people chat in the last few games I played. Of course, I'm playing in solo guilds and don't join up with all the private channels. I see much more chat in PVP. Maybe it depends on what you are doing if you see chat. In world zones with just PVE, not nearly as many people just talking like I saw in wow or runescape. Wasn't a day that went by in RS someone didn't ask for a g/f or b/f lol
What I think is weird is that I notice that people whisper you more when you talk in general. Too often I'll say something in general chats and then I get whispered answers. It's like they have some stigma that talking in general is for noobs or they are in witness protection. Because they whisper, now I have to thank each of them that may say the same things, instead I could have just thrown one thanks into general and everyone that wanted to know the answer would have got it too. It's odd too when someone asks you - again in a whisper - did anyone give you an answer, they had the same question. So now you have to regurgitate the answer to them.
I don't know what game started the whisper response from a general chat question but I saw it in Wurm and GW2. Ryzom they will answer in the general chat but a few whisper. I think of it like a manners breach, if I say something outloud in a crowd and you pull me aside to whisper the answer in my ear, isn't that overstepping boundaries. Or, if I email you a question and you call me to answer it, again, you should have answered via the method I initiated the question under. Maybe I expect to wait on the answer not have to go through a voicemail that says - calling to give you the information from your email - because I didn't pickup the phone.
The biggest problem I have with the whispering answer is that to other people they might think the question went unanswered so now they have to thank the whispers and report back to the chat someone whispered or someone thinks answering questions won't get an answer. New players always need to know it's safe to ask questions. How else can they start conversations, questions are great. I don't see nearly as many as I used to in games.

In EQ everyone was very relaxed and chatted.
I played Vanguard and chat was a bit less but still there.
Then I played WoW for a week to see what it was about and less people chatted, it was no longer casual chat, it was LF DAILY or something.
Then I played Guild Wars and almost no one chatted.
Then I played Vindictus and no one chatted ever.
Mind you, all the while I still played EQ, so I can safely say that I could accurately judge the amount of chatter games had. And I agree with everyone else that people for whatever reason, chat much less in current MMO, your reputation is no longer important, in EQ your reputation meant everything.

It depends on the game.
In a game like EverQuest, I can ask a question and get a reasonable answer. In a game like WoW or Diablo 3, I'll probably have 10+ people talking about how I should just go uninstall life.

I dunno, when I played TSW, outside of people looking for groups or selling stuff, chat was pretty quiet. Aion's got some pretty solid global chat channels, if you can filter out/block all the gold seller spam that keeps coming through.
But I think the complaint about players rarely chatting anymore applies more to people you are grouped up with while playing the game, particularly if they are a PUG. The combat mechanics of modern MMO's are so fast past and furious, with little downtime between fights, that there's really no time to chat, you just move from encounter to encounter.
I'll bet even in Diablo you aren't chatting a whole lot while furiously killing all those mobs that are spawning in front or around you.
Add in the fact many people only read their guild chat, or talk over voice and you'll find chat channels reallly are pretty quiet compared to how they were many years ago.
Understandable why they've changed, but still pretty obvious people don't type to chat as much as they used to.

There are games designed around communicating with other players while there are games designed to keep you too occupied with your own actions as long as you're playing the game (and not idling). Whether these consequences were intended or not prior to the implementation of the game is not important.
The combat system for instance when it incorporate a mechanic like the game "Whack-a-mole" where a mole pops-up that you have to hit it within a few seconds otherwise you'd lose the opportunity... that kind of combat discourage (or prevent) chatting/communication. (WoW, Aion, Rift...etc) Example: When you dodge, you get a special ability that you can use in the next few seconds otherwise it would go away.
The combat system in a game designed around resource management and tactical/strategic approach (EverQuest / FFXI) promotes and encourages chatting.
There are other things that promotes/prevents chatting like the Auction House. In other games trading was done by player-to-player communication. But the auction-house made it easy for you to look for items without the need of looking for it or communicating with other players. Auction House discourages chatting.
The Questing System is also another example. It's not only that there are 30/30 of them in your Quest Log (annoying mundane errands) but it's the pre-defined path that keeps you always in the run and tunneled through the content not giving you a break to breath and look around. Every other player is a lemming occupied looking at the GPS map and Quest Log trying to finish the unfinishable quests that keeps pouring and pouring at you in every quest hub. That discourage chatting and communication.
Compare that to games that give you more freedom where you can actually "decide" on where to go from the options you have talking to other players "I want to go to Mistmoore, I've never seen it. They say there's good loot there!" and another would reply "No, let's just do Solusek Eye since it's closer to us than Mistmoore and we don't have a Wizard to teleport us." then you'd say "Fear not, a friend is joining us soon and he's a level 35 wizard which can port us to Lesser Faydark!" and your friends would say "Yay!!"
I will end here.

OP using global chat channels to determine chat activity is kind of misrepresentative. It's a global channel therefore the chances of 1 or 2 of several hundred players chatting is obviously going to be quite high. You need to look at local channels, so either normal chat in your immediate vicinity or group chat. When was the last time you saw any PUG group chat in a game like WoW? I mean actual chatter, not just bitching because someone screwed up... When was the last time you saw strangers talking in /say? When I used to play FFXI I would have idle conversations with all kinds of players that I had never met before every single day, and many of these became contacts that I would later go on to play together with.
One of the other posters hit the nail on the head really. The obsession with action combat in recent MMOs and the whole 'constantly have to be doing something or the game sucks' attitude has led to players simply not having time to chat even if they wanted to. Add to that the fact that MMOs are slowly removing every reason for player interaction and there quickly becomes no reason to chat anyway...
Idle chatter is a component needed for building a solid community as it leads to players making friends and generates positive experiences. The only way we'll see this return is if we see a reduction in combat pace, return of downtime and the return of player interdependency that stimulates social interaction. Unfortunately all these features were 'streamlined' out because some players didn't like the idea of interacting with others in a multiplayer game...

Yeah I want to see vitor next then machida or gegard. I really want to see machida versus belfort. Lots of good matchups.

I've said my peace on Vitor, time to move on. TRT or not, I'd like to see him fight the winner. I really don't think he'll be able to handle Weidman's ground game, but I do think Vitor version 2.0 could give the Spider a lot of trouble in the standup game.
As for GSP, I have to tread carefully here. I'm a huge GSP fan, almost everyone here in Canada loves him, and the truth is, there is absolutely no proof that he's ever used or abused steroids. BUT like I always say, I'm from a track and field and football background, so I'm naturally skeptical. GSP's physique has to give you pause, at least a little. I know different substances do different things, and looking like a mannequin isn't always the only (or best) way to tell, but with all the suspensions over the last 10 years, we must have some suspicions.
I don't want to slander the guy, he's been a great champion and ambassador for the sport, classy, well-spoken etc. However, this whole VADA vs. WADA thing before the Hendricks fight, and the way GSP's flesh-eating lawyers got involved doesn't instill me with more faith in him being clean.
That's my opinion, neg away if you want but I feel what I feel.

Using abusive language in fenced ring/fighting area (xxi), is also considered a Foul. I don't see Nick Diaz getting a point taken away or DQ'd, in any of his fight for talking trash and cursing at his opponent.
So even if greasing like GSP did, is technically a foul (which is debatable seeing as how it's listed twice with 2 different "punishments"), it's not an enforced one. It's certainly not a foul that is anywhere on the same level of testing positive for illegal substances, or a higher than allowed testosterone to epitestosterone level, which was compared in this threads' discussion.
I took SimpleJacks statement as comparing TRT to greasing As read what was posted that no ban/suspension was given for greasing
Otherwards no comparission.
You made a statement and I cited the rule.
If you know how to read regulations you can see the difference.
The first refers to appearance which would be SEEN by the referee. He is to stop the bout to fix it. Happens all the time in boxing. The second citation deals with use to gain an advantage; similar to loading gloves.
As far as the comparison, I never made it and think its a stretch. However, in this day and age, I think its a stretch to think there are many fighters at all who have never dabbled in banned substances.

|Previous College:
|Colorado State, 2008
|Assistant Coach
|4th season
Jason Schutz enters his fourth season as an assistant coach for both the Matador men's and women's track & field teams specializing in the shot put, discus, hammer and javelin throws.
Under Schutz's guidance, the 2014 season saw a resurgence in the historically strong Matadors throws program with a young and talented group of returners and recruits from across the nation. Sophomore Monique Griffiths (Nova, FL), led the way for the women with an appearance at the NCAA West Regional meet at the University of Arkansas in both the discus (168'3") and hammer throw (187'11"), in addition to two top 3 finishes at the Big West Championships. The Matador women also had eight throws performers achieve marks in the top 100 of the NCAA West Region on the year. At the Big West Championship meet at UC Davis, the Matador women scored a dominant 55 points in the throws, 20 points better than the next best throws group. They were let by junior Mariah Counts (Poway, CA), who scored 25 individual points with four lifetime best performances good enough for 3rd in the shot put (47'10"), 2nd in the discus (163'), 3rd in the javelin (146') and 4th in the hammer throw (180'6"). When it was all said and done, the Matadors notched seven new marks on CSUN's all-time top 10 lists in the discus, hammer and javelin throws.
The men also saw a marked improvement during the 2014 campaign. With only one returner and a group of nine talented newcomers, the men showed vast progress in depth across the board. The men were led by redshirt freshman Zach Rosales (Selma,CA) and true freshman Evan Arnott (Mohrsville, PA), the former 15th ranked discus thrower in the nation as a high school senior. Arnott was the top finisher at the Big West Championships for the Matador men, with a 5th place finish in the discus throw, finishing as the top freshman in the conference. Rosales also had a great first showing at the Big West Championships, with a lifetime best in the shot put, finishing in 7th place in addition to being the only freshman to make the final.
Despite having a banner year athletically, the Matador throwers most impressive honors were received as a result of their hard work in the class room. The Matador throwers accounted for seven athletes on the Big West All-Academic Team, as well as having eight athletes inducted to the CSUN Varsity N Club. To be inducted to the Varsity N, a student must post a 3.2 GPA or higher each semester during any given year.
During the 2012 and 2013 seasons, the Matador men and women began to take steps toward building the program into a Big West power. Tucker Weathers completed his successful career in 2013 as a two time NCAA Preliminary Round qualifier in the shot put (57'PR) and as the Big West runner up in the hammer throw (191'PR). Also during that span, Monique Griffiths completed a stellar freshman year, qualifying for the NCAA Preliminary Round in the discus and finishing as one of the top freshmen in the NCAA. In addition, CSUN had two ladies qualify for the USATF National Junior Championships in three events, with Griffiths in the discus and hammer, and freshman Jakayla Daniels in the shot put.
Prior to CSUN, Schutz coached for two seasons at the University of Pittsburgh. His main focus with the Panthers was the development of the team's discus, hammer, shot put and javelin throwers. During Schutz's tenure at PITT, the throws group improved dramatically, led by FR Jess Rocco. Rocco qualified for the NCAA Preliminary Round and the USATF national junior championships in the javelin (152'PR).
Schutz joined the Panthers after serving a year as a volunteer assistant track and field coach at his alma mater, Colorado State. There, he helped oversee the training and development of 18 throwers in 2008-09. He worked alongside Brian Bedard, the head coach at CSU, who has accumulated over 24 years of coaching experience, and has coached 32 All-Americans and two national champions. Additionally, Schutz worked as a strength coach for the athletic department, assisting with the track and field team.
.A 2008 graduate from Colorado State with a Bachelor of Science degree in natural resource management, he also minored in watershed science. During his collegiate career, Schutz was a three-time All-American, as well as an Academic All-American and team captain. He competed in the discus, hammer and weight throw events at the NCAA Championships. Additionally, Schutz qualified for three USATF Outdoor Championships in the discus throw. He was also a 2008 Olympic Trials participant in the discus.

Winter is on its way
Cooler temperatures and a frost advisory will leave some area residents reaching for their jackets and turning up the heat this weekend.
A frost advisory is in effect from 5 to 9 a.m. today throughout western and central Carolina — including Lee, Moore and Chatham counties, according to North Carolina Weather Service Meteorologist Shawna Cokley. Temperatures are also expected to dip into the low 50s and could reach below freezing Friday morning.
"The coolest weather is probably [going to be on] Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with highs in the 50s," she said. "Saturday will be in the low 50s, but temperatures should rebound back into the 60s next week."
People with outdoor plants or crops should cover the vegetation with a tarp or move them inside, Cokley said.
"We have a cold front making its way east of the area, and another one reinforcing it late [Wednesday]," she said. "Later in the week, we have one coming through Friday, but there is not a lot of moisture. We are not expecting any kind of precipitation — maybe a sprinkle or two throughout the area."
Winds are expected to gust up to 30 mph today and Friday, according to the NWS.
Family Promise of Lee County Executive Director Fredrika Cooke said her organization will try to work with homeless families even faster during the cooler weather months because of the increased needs that come with winter.
"As it gets colder, if a family has been sleeping in the car or outside, they will need proper shelter during this time," she said.
The American Red Cross recommends the following tips as cooler weather approaches:
* Generators should be used correctly, and stoves and ovens should not be used to heat homes.
* Family pets should be brought inside or provided warm shelter.
* A space heater should be on a level, nonflammable surface and never left near pets or children.
* Dress in several layers of lightweight clothing instead of a single, heavy coat.
* Wear mittens and a hat, preferably one that covers the ears.

Apple says it has lowered the price of its 13-inch MacBook Pro laptops by $200 and updated its processors. It also launched new models with faster processors and more memory.
Apple Inc. said Wednesday that the MacBook Pro with "Retina" display and 128 gigabytes of flash memory will now cost $1,499, down from $1,699. A new model with 256 gigabytes of flash will cost $1,699.
The 15-inch model has a faster processor and the same price.
Apple unveiled the new MacBook Pro models last fall. It has flash memory instead of the traditional hard drive, which makes it thinner and lighter.
Apple reported a surprising decline in Mac sales in the final quarter of 2012. It sold 4.1 million of them, down 22 percent from shipments a year earlier.

Lots of people in South Carolina and across the country are hoping that Congress can get its, um, stuff together and keep Friday's budget cuts from happening.
But it doesn't look good.
This thing hits lots of people, as the accompanying reporting indicates. For instance, civilian Department of Defense employees would be forced to four-day workweeks for about 22 weeks. That's a painful paycheck gut-check.
As bad as that is, there are some who will have it worse. Because when you don't have very much to start with, taking anything away just adds insult to injury.
Jamie Wood, workforce development director for Trident SC Works, said the agency has taken measures to ensure that services aren't affected, like leaving positions vacant and carefully watching its budget.
Of course, things already are thin because of the statewide Department of Employment and Workforce cuts that took place this year.
He said clients may see longer wait times as more work is divided among fewer staffers. And he urged people to take advantage of online employment services through its SC Works Online Services portal. Those who don't have home Internet service can access the website at the area workforce centers. (That's all they can get at some of the rural workforce centers. See earlier cuts above.)
"Our goal is still to help people get re-employed," he said.
Of course, the government is not making that very easy for them.
Death by a thousand cuts
Fewer seniors will get meals delivered to them, fewer people will get assistance in keeping their lights and heat from getting cut off, and fewer low-income students will get financial aid.
Some folks will see reduced services, and others just won't get helped, period.
Staff at Tell Them, a statewide reproductive health-focused foundation in Columbia, has looked carefully at the cuts, and they don't like what they see.
Federal money to upgrade public health resources, to help respond to a swine flu outbreak, for example, is part of what would be cut, $400,000 worth, program manager Emma Davidson said.
There would be 1,400 fewer admissions to rehab facilities for people with substance-abuse problems, as part of a loss of $1 million in grants.
And two serious issues for our state — HIV testing and domestic-violence assistance — would be affected as well.
Nearly 7,000 fewer HIV tests would be conducted if the cuts go through, which is not good news for a state labeled one of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's hot spots for HIV.
Add to that almost $100,000 in assistance for rape victims that would evaporate. In a state with a well-documented, notorious (in the truest sense) domestic violence problem, that's downright terrifying.
Time to act
We should be embarrassed — and many folks are — by our elected leaders' collective inability to stop this implosion. Once again the people in Washington can't play well with others, and now everybody has to suffer.
Kudos to South Carolina's own Sen. Lindsey Graham for standing up to his fellow Republicans and pointing out that the "options" they gave President Barack Obama were no real option at all.
"We've had so many people who are already taking action," Davidson said. "It seems like most of our membership is saying, this is too important to sit on the sidelines and let it happen. Our elected leaders need to be at least talking to each other."
If they don't want to be known as another do-nothing Congress, now would be a good time to do something.

VIPoma is a very rare type of cancer that usually grows from cells in the pancreas called islet cells.
Vasoactive intestinal peptide-producing tumor; Pancreatic endocrine tumor
VIPoma causes cells in the pancreas to produce a high level of a hormone called vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). This hormone increases secretions from the intestines. It also relaxes some of the smooth muscles in the GI (gastrointestinal) system.
The cause is not known.
VIPomas are often diagnosed in adults, most commonly at age 50. Women are more likely to be affected than men. This cancer is rare. Only about 1 in 10 million people a year get it.
Signs may include:
Tests include:
The first goal of treatment is to correct dehydration. Fluids are often given through a vein (intravenous fluids) to replace fluids lost in diarrhea.
The next goal is to slow the diarrhea. Medicines can help control diarrhea. One such medicine is octreotide. It is a manmade form of a natural hormone blocks the action of VIP.
The best chance of a cure is surgery to remove the tumor. If the tumor has not spread to other organs, surgery can often cure the condition.
Surgery can usually cure VIPomas. But, in one third to one half of patients, the tumor has spread by the time of diagnosis and cannot be cured.
If you have watery diarrhea for more than 2 - 3 days, call your doctor.

Rumored entry level iPhone rumored to have a plastic chassis
The rumor that Apple is working on releasing a budget entry level iPhone for emerging markets just won't go away. This morning, in a report by hit and miss rumor site Digitimes, it is claimed that the low end design may adopt plastic instead of the high quality materials used in its usual model. Not a great surprise if the low end iPhone is to become a reality as Apple would have to save some money on its make up somewhere along the line.
Apple's rumored entry-level iPhone reportedly may adopt plastic for its chassis instead of reinforced glass or unibody metal as in the company's standard iPhone models, to save cost, according to sources from the upstream supply chain. However, Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) declined to comment on its clients or orders when asked about the report.
In addition to the component rumors, Digitimes is also hearing that the actual low end iPhone chassis will be manufactured by a US-based electronic manufacturing service provider and that it will be made up from metal and plastic and may even have a see through body showing off the internal components from the outside. The rumors all stem from the supposed Apple component supply chain and from our experience should be taken with a gargantuan sized grain of salt; the rumors appear to be getting more crazy by the day. Having said that, the WSJ, Bloomberg and others are all saying that the budget low end iPhone is happening, we will have to wait and see.

Rumored entry level iPhone rumored to have a plastic chassis
Really?!?! I guess you've never seen the first MacBook. Plastic cracked just from normal use. They did eventually go to the aluminum casing though.
These rumors don't make any sense to me. Why would they make an "entry" level iPhone when they are still selling old models (4 and 4s). Who would buy a plastic iPhone when you could just get a 4S?
My point exactly, which has absolutely nothing to do with previous Apple products, which are not the iPhone. Apple isn't going to make a cheap Plastic iPhone to lure in China Mobile (Because let's be honest, THAT is who Apple is interested in as far as "emerging markets" are concerned. Apple leaves the "cheap plastic" phones to Android vendors. There's no way to make a "premium cheap plastic phone". Apple won't do it.
I guess you never handled a Lumia 920. "Cheap plastic" is a derogatory term used by Apple fans since Apple lauched the iPhone 4. The MacBook, the iMac and the iPhone had plastic bodies in more than one incarnation once and no one called them "cheap" in those days.
Anyway, the material used today is Polycarbonate, and it is a far better material than the "cheap aluminum" Apple has been feeding us. Polycarbonate is much more resistant to shock, bending and scratch, making it much more suitable to portable devices than aluminum. Search for images of bent iPhone 5s and you will know what I mean.
Do they now?
Thank you for having a brain, and using it.
I'm sure Tim cook will be checking with you before making the decision to create a phone for emerging markets in order to make sure they continue living up to the image you've built up for them. Just keep in mind, if they DO go haead and make a "cheap plastic" phone regardless, it won't make your iPhone 5 any less aluminum. They will also call it something that sounds better than "plastic" so you won't fee so bad about apple using it to create a phone for other countries. Molded fusion carbon fiber or something.
they are doing entry level for no contract plans. Yes, you can purchase a "free" iphone 4 today, but with a two year agreement you're paying the full price of that phone, roughly around 4 or 500 dollars. But they're trying to make a phone that without subsides can cost a customer maybe 100-200 dollars with no subsides or long term contracts. That's pretty doable. That's what they mean by "entry level phone"
I really don't think there is anything wrong with that. Just because it's plastic does not mean it is going to be cheap. More options are always better!!
That's only entry level for people who's service provider subsidizes the cost when they sign a 2 year contract. They still aren't "cheap" especially for people in emerging markets, who this phone is supposedly aimed at. Saying the iPhone 4 is free on Verizon is meaningless to anyone in china.
Cheap plastic? I would take practical plastic over apples impractical glass designs any day. When I had my Nokia 6120, you could throw it on concrete and it would barely get scratched. How many iPhone 4 users can say that? iPhone is a great phone but the design is not practical. Apple is more obsessed with looks than practicality

This Beautiful Butterfly and Lotus Bangle Bracelet is truly one-of-a-kind! Gorgeous etchings curve their way across the face of the bangle, tapering off from about 10mm to just 4mm at the back of the bracelet. At the center of the bangle is a blooming lotus flower, with two butterflies floating on either side. The bangle appears to be held together by bands of silver rope, the arms of the bracelet crossing over and wrapping around one another. This 7.5 inch bangle would look fabulous on its own, or add it to other bangles for a bolder look!

My chocolate lab female just turned a year old on August 18th, but has yet to have her first heat cycle. At what point do I start to get concerned?
My chocolate lab female just turned a year old on August 18th, but has yet to have her first heat cycle. At what point do I start to get concerned?
When she turns three.
My 16 month old just came in for the first time. It isn't unusual for the girls to be older the first time.
There are many factors which determines when your girl will come in heat. Your best bet would be to ask the owner of her mother when she came in for the first time since it often runs in the family. Also, if you only have the one dog or just females around and they don't often interact with the opposite sex, things could be delayed. Amount of body fat or the lack of it will also delay heat cycles. The first heat cycle could be minimal, very little swelling, very little to no noticeable bleeding, and could last for a very short duration- under a week. Black dogs are also better at keeping these things "secret" over yellows which seem to be a lot more noticeable.
What Raina said!
I have never had a female (from my current family of Labs) that has had her first heat cycle before 12 months. Normal for us is in the 14-17 month range with a few a little sooner or later than that.

More experienced guys have told me that working girls sometimes don't have their first heat cycle until 2 years. My girl came into heat yesterday for the first time, she is 15 months old.

You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013

Mine are all around 18mt. first; then every 7mt like clock-work. I got a 9mt old pup now, if she'd hold off until 3; I'd be very ok with it

The Fire Service has just visited Jamesburg with their latest maps. The fires continue to move slowly down Tassajara Creek Canyon; in Willow Creek Canyon they have moved about one mile towards Tassajara and are now at the intersection of the Tony Trail and Willow Creek; there is no new activity at the Oryoki Bowls. The Forest Service has stayed in regular contact with Jamesburg and directly with Tassajara via Director David Zimmerman. There was a changing of the guard yesterday, which happens every 21 days, and the new firefighters went in to Tassajara for a brief visit and tour.
Tassajara reports that there have been a lot of helicopters getting water from Tassajara Creek (possibly from the Narrows) and dumping it on both the Indian and the Basin Fires. People there are continuing to work hard and get rest. There are plans to do our monthly Suzuki-Roshi memorial at the ashes site tonight, with Abbot Steve Stücky officiating.
A City Center student donated $500 for fire safety equipment for the Tassajara students. It was decided to purchase shrouds which hook onto helmets, offering protection for the face, neck and ear.
Last night, Senior Dharma Teacher Blanche Hartman gave a talk which included a Well-Being Chant for Tassajara, its Caretakers, and All Beings Effected by the Fires.
The Basin Complex West fire grew significantly yesterday and overnight, causing evacuations in Big Sur to the north and our friends at Esalen to the south. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by the blazes across California.
In order to stay up-to-date over the holiday weekend, please be sure to check the Sitting with Fire blog.

If you've ever tried to cram humanity's knowledge of mathematics onto a single cheat sheet, this selection guide will be useful to you. American pens and pencils tend to weigh in at a hefty 0.5 mm, turning inviting surfaces like calendar squares, filing cabinet labels, and book margins into dense war zones.
Enter the fine tip pen, a brilliant invention for artists and students alike. This selection features pens that are available in tip sizes as small as 0.18 mm and 0.25 mm, tiny enough for writing on a single grain of rice!
