Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.

Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.
Adelle Davis
Breakfast. It seems like forever since we've been told it's the most important meal of the day, but a recent study shows that it's actually true and not just Mom having been a nag. Breakfast is a key component of weight management. A study presented at the recent Endocrine Society's annual meeting showed that participants who consumed large breakfasts lost almost five times as much weight as the participants who followed a traditional diet. So what's the big deal about breakfast? And what is a big breakfast anyway? It doesn't seem like the lumberjack special at the local diner would do much to get the pounds off, so what should we be eating?
The study supported the idea that when we wake up in the morning, our bodies want food. You've burned through all the fuel from the previous day, and now your body is ready to burn anything, like muscle, to get a jump-start on the day. And if you skip breakfast, muscle is indeed what your body will burn. Later in the day, your brain is still in starvation mode from breakfast (or lack thereof), so your body will store all the calories you eat as adipose tissue, or fat, to save up for the next day when you try to starve it again. The study also found that serotonin (the chemical responsible for controlling cravings) levels were much higher in the morning, which is why breakfast is the meal so many of us are willing to skip. But if our bodies are left unfed, our serotonin levels drop, and the cravings for sweets begin to rise throughout the day.
Now, before you hit McDonald's for their 800-calorie Big Breakfast or, worse, their 1,150-calorie Deluxe Breakfast, or you swing by Denny's for a 740-calorie Grand Slam or 950-calorie All-American Slam with hash browns, keep in mind these were not the breakfasts the study participants consumed. The big-breakfast group had a 610-calorie breakfast as part of a 1,240-calorie day. Breakfasts included milk, lean meat (sorry, no bacon or sausage), cheese, whole grains, a serving of healthy fat, and one ounce of chocolate or candy to defray the sweets cravings. The other group's participants consumed 1,080 calories per day as part of a high-protein, low-carb diet. Both groups were on the diet for 8 months. The high-protein group lost an average of 9 pounds but the big-breakfast group lost an average of 40 pounds. And perhaps not surprisingly, the big-breakfast group complained less about cravings and hunger.
The big-breakfast group's breakfast consisted of 58 grams of carbs, 47 grams of protein, and 22 grams of fat. Study reviewers attribute some of the success of the big-breakfast group to the fact that the protein and healthy fats eaten kept the participants full and reduced cravings. They also said that nutritional requirements were well met, that there weren't empty calories consumed, as the breakfasts included lots of whole grains, fruits, lean proteins, and healthy unsaturated fats. So, bad news for the lumberjack-special devotees—a big plate of greasy hash browns, bacon, and biscuits with gravy isn't going to get the job done, unless the job is clogging your arteries.
Here are some healthy big-breakfasts, like the ones consumed by the study participants.

One of the worst times you can eat is at night. Yet, our society forces this upon you with "late-night happy hour" abandon. How many nighttime activities can you think of that don't include at least an offer for food and/or drink? However, this is the last thing your body needs before it shuts down for 8 hours of sleep. Here are some tips to make it easier to adhere to the "3-hours-before-bedtime" rule—that is, the "no-food-3-hours-before-bedtime" rule.
And finally, a note about your TV. Let's be honest. Most of us watch a lot of TV. The average American watches over 3 hours per day. And while it's often the case, your television doesn't have to derail your fitness goals. You can use this time to do other—beneficial—stuff, too. Stretching and TV go together like peanut butter and chocolate, with the opposite effect. And since none of us claims to enjoy commercials, making a point of doing something else during these timeouts (dishes, cleaning, laundry, sit-ups, or anything active) can turn a night in front of the boob tube into a productive and healthy evening.

This emotional journey will revisit the stories of my Uncle Joe once again. I hope you will enjoy them, and think of your family as you read.
Joseph Henry Thompson (pictured, left) was born in June 1925 in Birmingham, England. The eldest of 4 children, and brother of my father (dad being the youngest). I never knew him and my father hardly had the time before his tragic demise post-war at 22.
Joe 'joined up' to the RAF, along with thousands of other young men, in 1943 at the tender age of 18. He left his widowed Mother (my Nan) and 3 siblings and left for training in London after Christmas. This letter marks his arrival at the Intake Training Wing (ITW) in Bridlington, just 2 weeks or so later.
Letter 9 – Arriving in awful 'digs', Bridlington, 18th Jan 1944
5Flt. 96 Intake
East Yorkshire
Sunday Night.
Dear Mom and Kids,
After an all night journey and a march in full Kit we arrived at this dump!! We've been put into private houses taken over by the RAF. The rooms were in a filthy condition!! There is no heating at all and we get 4 shovels of coal for 7 rooms, although some of them haven't got fireplaces.
On the first night, Saturday, we didn't get any coal for our room at all! Blimey, I was perished!! As we're near the sea front the wind don't arf blow!
Today me and my room-mate 'accidentally' broke two bannister rails and a drawer so we (had?) to burn them. In a few days some of us will be falling down the stairs! We are in the attic. The cookhouse is about a mile away in a big posh dance hall, the food is quite good and there's plenty of it. But if you're a bit late, well, "You've 'ad it"!
The course here will take about 6 weeks and in that time you learn:-
Morse, Law and Hygiene, Armament, Drill and Maths! Our day will start at 6 and end at 6 after that you must 'swot'!
The weather here is intensely cold and there seems t be a continuous fog. What a dump! We've only had a dental inspection today (I've got to have some filled) the rest of the time was taken cleaning out our room. The Pay Parade takes place on Friday here.
By the way I could do with some boot polish, 2 or 3 hankies, another black tie and if possible some sweets. Send them when most convenient. Add something for a bad cough too as I've had a proper dog's bark since I joined the R.A.F.
We will be issued with a 'Battle Dress' while we are here. They look OK too.
The shops here have plenty of stuff to sell especially cake and buns which can be bought by whack, I get hungry round about 8 & 9pm! The reason for that I suppose is because the RAF cookhouse doesn't serve suppers, whereas 'Avenue Close' did!
I've just been given the whereabouts of some coke which is simply yelling to be pinched! I must look into the matter in the morning! We've got another Kit inspection in the morning. Blast!!!
Must finish now as it's 'Lights Out' in a few minutes. Please don't worry if there is delay between my letters it may be because I don't get the time or because the RAF blokes don't collect 'em on time. I'll try to write Aunt Phyll and Unc' Horace and Marie later in the week. I haven't written Marie yet!!
Cheerio for now.
Love, Joe
P.S. Excuse erratic writing"
I always find myself reading these letters from the perspective of Joe's mother. I suspect she would be worrying about his health in the cold, and feeling powerless to stop him doing something he may be punished for (like stealing coal!) Brave times for all concerned.
Joe's full story is beautiful and tragic. He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories.
I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey. Subscribe to the Blog to make sure you don't miss any of it.

Comments and Reviews
—Mike Clark Founder Clarkware
If you use just one of these recipes in your app, that alone is worth the price of this book. I quickly lost count of the recipes that I found immediately useful. If you're getting paid to write iOS apps, or you just value your time, you'd be crazy not to have this book within arm's reach at all times.
—Marcus S. Zarra Owner Zarra Studios LLC
I highly recommend this book. So many of these tips and tricks, aka recipes, get lost or become difficult to find. I would rather pull a book off the shelf (or iBooks) and look for that snippet of code I knew I saw in there rather than search the Internet in hope that the site I saw it on still has it. This book will definitely be in that collection.
—Michael Hay Master developer Black Pixel LLC
This is a great book for both beginners and experienced developers. It's packed with useful up-to-date examples showing how to add professional-grade features to your projects, with great explanations and a focus on the code.
—Justin Williams Crew chief Second Gear
"iOS Recipes" is the book that commonly answers the "How did they do that?'' question. It is an essential book for anyone who wants to sprinkle little bits of awesome in their app.
—Brent Simmons Developer NetNewsWire
If I had to pick just one person to learn from, to learn the best ways to do things in iOS, it would be Matt Drance. And the book doesn't disappoint. I made use of a couple recipes immediately, and I look forward to using more of them, especially Paul's fun graphics and animation recipes!

The first shots in the sequestration battle were fired Monday as Savannah River Nuclear Solutions announced that about 2,000 workers will be placed on reduced schedules starting April 1, while others will suffer "full furloughs."
SRNS is the current management and operations contractor of the Savannah River Site.
"Consistent with DOE guidance, this memorandum serves as notification that beginning April 1, 2013, approximately 2,000 SRNS employees will be placed on 32-hour work schedules. Impacted employees will be notified by March 15, 2013," President and CEO Dwayne Wilson wrote to employees Monday. "In select areas, full furloughs will begin on April 1, 2013. Impacted employees in these areas will be notified by next week."
The finer details of the budget cuts are still being worked out.
Barbara Smoak, director of Business, Technical and Employee Communications for SRNS, said Monday that more information should be released in the next few days.
"The 32-hour week would be considered a reduction in the work schedule, while full furloughs are defined as an employee assigned to a non-duty status," Smoak said.
Non-duty status means a zero-hour workweek.
The furloughs are not unexpected, as the Aiken Standard reported in mid-February that a report from the House Appropriations Committee Democrats laid out what sequestration would mean to the Department of Energy and other agencies.
"The Savannah River Site in South Carolina would furlough over 1,000 workers for approximately four months; and 4,000 to 5,000 workers' schedules would be affected across the complex. Sites will be forced to suspend and/or delay cleanup activities and shutdown facilities," according to the report.
"Due to the uncertain and potential fluctuating amount of funding which may be available to SRNS, further furloughs may be necessary," Wilson said. "We recognize the difficult financial implications of any furlough, and we will make every effort to keep you informed. Additional information and Q&As regarding implementation of reduced work schedules will be provided by Workforce Services this week."
Department of Energy officials have said they have yet to get the entire picture for how SRS will be impacted, as they are waiting for an announcement from headquarters in Washington, D.C.
"While our circumstances are difficult, the SRNS mission remains; and I ask that you stay focused on the safe and secure performance of your work activities," Wilson said.
SRS contractors Parsons and Shaw Areva Mox Services would only say they have no specific details on the looming cuts. DOE-HQ in Washington, D.C., and the National Nuclear Safety Administration also did not have any specific comment on future cuts, they said Monday.

Ashley Thorner
Southwest Community Center
2801 S.W. Thistle St.
Seattle Parks and Recreation Community Centers Levy 1% for Art Funds
Ashley Thorner's JUMs combines three elements (jellyfish, umbrellas and mushrooms) that are closely tied to the environment and culture of the Northwest. Consisting of painted stainless steel "stems" and cast fiberglass "caps", the whimsical JUMs are designed to offer the viewer one of its three identities when viewed from various locations throughout the community center. Though dimensionally similar, each JUM has its own unique color representing the diversity found within the Southwest Community Center.
Thorner states: "My goal in creating JUMs is to address the individuality and unity of the neighborhood. I wanted to create something interesting and dynamic for people to look and interact with, to create something eye catching that will attract attention not only from up close but from a distance as well. The artwork may be viewed and interacted with literally on many different levels. Whether viewed from below, like Alice looking up at a giant mushroom, or viewed from above inside the community center as a cluster of floating jellyfish, the JUMs generate a surreal landscape and create a unique identifier for the Southwest Community Center."

Is there any way I can find out what's the current value or file size limit of UploadReadAheadSize for IIS on windows server 2003.
you cant access it as there is no interface to get the value, the default value is 48kb I belive.
if its related to you uploading a file, the default size limmit is set to 50mb by default.
These settings (default settings) have been inplace for DOS attack i think hence why they are small in size! There are a couple of ways you can change it if a third party needs to use it that you need it to....
for this you need to change the metabase to a higher values like so:
you need to use Adsutil with the following script:
it sets it to 100mb
open cmd
add this command
add this
then add the following command:
or add the following to app.config
Or you can use this third party app to see the values ;)
hope it helps :)
Above command worked for me and thats what I was looking for.

By 2030, Japan is projected to go from today's 5.9 persons in the working-age labor pool supporting each retiree, to 1.9 workers per retiree (see Figure 1). In essence, this translates to a three-fold increase of pressure on the workforce just to support the population base at that time. This issue for Japan, according to the United Nations World Population Prospects, the 2010 Revision study, is higher than most but is followed by Europe, and the US. Even China faces an increasing pressure as we approach 2050.
[Note: The population pyramids interactive tool as projected by the UN Study can help you explore details per individual nations and continents. ]
What this creates is a continuing pressure of retirees on the working-age labor force to maintain or grow the economy. Per Figure 2, you can see this projected trend in the percentage of retirees over the rest of the population for some major economies.
Traditionally, we have looked to increasing productivity through innovation and technology to buck this trend, but at some point, the numbers may just be against us. Trying to get a three-fold improvement in worker productivity in less than two decades calls for some significant changes to how we work. Some ideas being proposed include increasing the retirement age, changing immigration policies, improving infrastructure, improving base technology and productivity tools, changing how we teach and add new workers to the pool, and changing the operational processes of organizations and industries. These range from policy decisions to technological innovation to organizational structures.Perhaps there is another way: what if we had a framework whereby not just those over 65 could still work, but even those into 70s or 80s, on a part-time or partial basis. They have spent many years acquiring experience, expertise and knowledge. While they may not want to work on a full time basis, the question now is if they would still be willing to help on some level, given the right amount of support. This can shift the distribution of the workforce and level out some generational population spikes and bubbles. An alternative these nations face is improve migration of work and increasing labor pools in other younger (generationally and operationally) nations.
This is just the proposition by Dr. Chieko Asakawa, a research Fellow at the IBM Tokyo Research Labs, in their joint work with the national Japan Science and Technology agency. In a presentation at the Coevolution of Future Technologies, Skills, Jobs and Quality of Life conference held at the IBM Almaden Research center in late September, her presentation Exploration of New Workforce Model for Aging Societies was an eye-opener.
The model proposed in this joint effort Senior Cloud Project applies collective intelligence methods to distribute and assist in doing this work. Collective intelligence, if you are not familiar with it, is a collection of business and technological methodologies that apply the aggregate knowledge, insight and expertise of a diverse group of willing participants to a given business problem. It exists in many forms including contests and challenges (e.g., InnoCentive), virtual ideation and dialogue (e.g., IBM Collaboration Jams), or parallel task processing (e.g., Tagasauris, Amazon MTurk).
One goal of this project is to create a mosaic of capabilities of all the participating seniors: a collection of their individual contexts of experience areas and skills, their cognitive ability, their physical ability and other factors such as their language of choice. To understand why we need such data, consider the following ability issue that sometimes affects this population.
Some things that may appear with age such as essential tremors, causing shaking in the hands, can make precise handiwork difficult. These can start at any age but worsen over time to visible shaking—a symptom that people often mistake for Parkinson's disease, though unrelated. The person is still completely capable of doing the job but such symptoms complicate or slow down the process. This aspect is a physical but not a cognitive ability factor.
What Senior Cloud proposes is building this mosaic along with a similar mapping of available work items and doing some matchmaking of the two sets. This is one model where micro-work can become reality, assigning tasks as available and skills as necessary to get more work done. One example offered is in remote forestry [Read the related article], pairing the expertise of experience retired forestry experts with young on-site workers. It is goes beyond mentoring, into partnering with others. Another example is pairing seniors of differing abilities together to create the output of single virtual worker (see Figure 3).

STOCKHOLM Without original opponent Alexander Gustafsson (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) off the card with a training cut, Gegard Mousasi (33-3-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) now will face Gustafsson teammate Ilir Latifi (7-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in Saturday's UFC on FUEL TV 9 main event.
UFC President Dana White on Tuesday night tweeted news of the new main event. The UFC had been scrambling to figure out what to do when the Swedish MMA Federation earlier Tuesday ruled Gustafsson ineligible for the fight because of a facial cut he suffered in a recent training session.
While the original Gustafsson-Mousasi main event was scheduled for five rounds, UFC officials confirmed to MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps) that the Mousasi-Latifi fight, while still a headliner, will be just three rounds due to the short notice for Latifi.
UFC on FUEL TV 9 takes place at Stockholm's Ericsson Globe Arena with a main card on FUEL TV following prelims on Facebook.
Latifi comes into his UFC debut on a three-fight win streak, all of which took place in 2012. "The Sledgehammer" has five of his seven career wins by stoppage. His most recent loss came at the hands of recent Bellator MMA light heavyweight tournament winner Emanuel Newton under the Shark Fights banner in July 2011. That bout was his first outside of Europe.
From a size standpoint, Mousasi will be facing an opponent with a significant size difference than Gustafsson. Gustafsson stands 6-foot-4, while Latifi checks in at just 5-8 against the 6-1 Mousasi.
Gustafsson was slated to headline his second UFC event in his home country and would have been in good standing for top contendership for the light heavyweight title with a win. A timetable hasn't been given for his return.
UFC officials were left with limited options when given the news that Gustafsson was 100 percent not possible for Saturday. Among those options may have been moving a co-main event between Ross Pearson and Ryan Couture up a spot into the main event. But with Latifi being tapped for his debut, that won't be necessary.
I was looking forward to this fight. Mousasi vs Shogun should happen soon

Magic Kingdom is the original of Walt Disney World's four theme parks. Modeled on Disneyland in California, the additional space and control available to Walt Disney in Florida allowed him to do things on an even bigger scale, making it a unique park and not just a replication of another.
Designed with a classic hub-and-spoke layout, guests are eased into an alternate reality with a walk down a turn-of-the-century small town street at the end of which they can choose from different fantastical lands with complete themes. Another unique element to Magic Kindgom is that most guests will need to take a monorail or ferry to get from their car to the park.
In-park rentals do not allow you take strollers out of the park, but rather you must get a new one at each park. Your rental receipt will allow you to get a new rental the same day (supplies permitting) when you get to another park.
For additional information on getting around the parks with wheelchairs and ECVs, see our Walt Disney World Mobility page.
In additional to single day visit or overnight boarding for cats and dogs the facility can also handle a certain number of other pets such as hamsters, birds, and pot-bellied pigs. It is not required that you either be visiting the parks to kennel your animal in the facility although a discount is given to people staying at one of the on-property resorts.
Reservations are not required but are strongly recommended, especially during peak seasons. Hours vary but the center is generally open from an hour before that day's earliest park opening to an hour after the last park closes, so remember to take pet retrieval time into account when planning the end of your day.
Overnight boarding starts at $37 for dogs ($34 if a resort guest), $23 ($21) for cats, and other animas range from $12-$23 ($10-$21) depending on size. Full day kenneling of dogs is $27 for basic kenneling, cats are $15; less than six hours is $16 and $15 respectively.
For more information or reservations, call 1-877-493-9738 (877-4 WDW PETS) or visit their web site. See MousePlanet contributor Vance Cope's article (September 10, 2010) on the opening of Best Friends Pet Care.
Disney offers the following tours giving detailed or behind-the-scenes looks at their parks.

What Is Jennifer Lawrence's Empowering New Year's Resolution?
Jennifer Lawrence is going to get a little more Katniss tough next year.
The Hunger Games star is on the new cover of South Africa's Marie Claire magazine, and in addition to talking about her love for reality TV and junk food, she discussed her plans for 2013.
"My New Year's Resolution is to stand up for myself," Jennifer said (via Gossip Cop). "It's hard for me. Nobody wants to be disliked. You always want to be polite and be nice. [...] I tried to find a balance in saying what I mean and still being nice. I can't do it. I have this 'okay' attitude and everything. I end up allowing myself to get walked over and resenting it."
Yes, just say no to passive-aggressive enabling in 2013. Stand up for yourself, even if it means someone else isn't happy about it. And never say "okay" if you mean the opposite! Sometimes playing nice to avoid confrontation just isn't worth the inevitable resentment.

Hello Weight Loss Buddies, My name is Jen and I am going to be restarting the group for Kara. She hasn't been able to keep up on it so I am going to give it a shot! :) I know it is short notice but I would like to start up tomorrow Tuesday May 18th. If you were involved in the group and would like to be a part again please stop by and any new members please join in as well.
Weight loss tip for today:
Join an online support group. In my case there is no better place than the PF forums! We have all been through some difficult times and loosing weight is not an easy thing either, we already have the support system built here. It's essential that you don't feel alone, and reaching out to our friends is typically a smart move. You have to know that others are out there for moral support – they know things that you might not know and have probably been "in your shoesâ€Â. We can share stories, laughter, tears, successes, and failures.
"Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can. "

I find Wikipedia's discussion of symbols of differential operators a bit impenetrable, and Google doesn't seem to turn up useful links, so I'm hoping someone can point me to a more pedantic discussion.
I think I understand the basic idea on ℝn, so for readers who know as little as I do, I will provide some ideas. Any differential operator on ℝn is (uniquely) of the form Σ pi1,...,ik(x) ∂k/(∂xi1...∂xik), where x1,...,xn are the canonical coordinate functions on ℝn, the pi1,...,ik(x) are smooth functions, and the sum ranges over (finitely many) possible indexes (of varying length). Then the symbol of such an operator is Σ pi1,...,ik(x) ξi1...ξik, where ξ1,...,ξn are new variables; the symbol is a polynomial in the variables {ξ1,...,ξn} with coefficients in the algebra of smooth functions on ℝn.
Ok, great. So symbols are well-defined for ℝn. But most spaces are not ℝn — most spaces are formed by gluing together copies of (open sets in) ℝn along smooth maps. So what happens to symbols under changes of coordinates? An affine change of coordinates is a map yj(x) = aj + Σi Yjixi for some vector (a1,...,an) and some invertible matrix Y. It's straightforward to describe how the differential operators change under such a transformation, and thus how their symbols transform. In fact, you can forget about the fact that indices range 1,...,n, and think of them as keeping track of tensor contraction; then everything transforms as tensors under affine coordinate changes, e.g. the variables ξi transform as coordinates on the cotangent bundle.
On the other hand, consider the operator D = ∂2/∂x2 on ℝ, with symbol ξ2; and consider the change of coordinates y = f(x). By the chain rule, the operator D transforms to (f'(y))2 ∂2/∂y2 + f''(y) ∂/∂y, with symbol (f'(y))2 ψ2 + f''(y) ψ. In particular, the symbol did not transform as a function on the cotangent space. Which is to say that I don't actually understand where the symbol of a differential operator lives in a coordinate-free way.
Why I care
One reason I care is because I'm interested in quantum mechanics. If the symbol of a differential operator on a space X were canonically a function on the cotangent space T*X, then the inverse of this Symbol map would determine a "quantization" of the functions on T*X, corresponding to the QP quantization of ℝn.
But the main reason I was thinking about this is from Lie algebras. I'd like to understand the following proof of the PBW theorem:
Let L be a Lie algebra over ℝ or ℂ, G a group integrating the Lie algebra, UL the universal enveloping algebra of L and SL the symmetric algebra of the vector space L. Then UL is naturally the space of left-invariant differential operators on G, and SL is naturally the space of symbols of left-invariant differential operators on G. Thus the map Symbol defines a canonical vector-space (and in fact coalgebra) isomorphism UL → SL.

He hit him twice flush on the ground. He rolled with everything else from the 4 times I've rewatched it. Weidman went for a heel hook in response to Anderson going for a leg as well. Neither did dick with that either.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
I had the first round as a 10/10. Domination is not a good descriptor for it, in any way.
Interestingly, I think it looked a lot like the Davis/Machida fight. Like Davis, Weidman was busier, I had him landing more strikes, but I didn't have him close to finishing. I'd be interested in hearing from guys who had Davis winning that bout though...they certainly must have had Chris winning the first.
This will be interesting. No telling how a fighter reacts to a loss, reacts to losing a belt.
I'm certain Anderson will make adjustments, it's a question of what they will be--and whether Weidman will be able to anticipate them and make adjustments of his own.
If Anderson pulls a BJ Penn and listens to guys who tell him he was "winning" that first round--or worse, dominating/making Weidman look bad, etc--he's in for a bad night. He'll need to adapt to get the belt back.
How awesome would it be if Anderson came out to Redemption Song?
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.

The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
I gave it to Weidman as well but domination is simply a horrible description of the fight prior to the KO.
Weidman got a takedown, advanced position and had 2 sub attempts. Anderson landed some flush leg kicks and a couple straight lefts that got Weidman's attention. Weidman hit him flush twice on the ground and beat on his ribs.
Weidman's round but no one dominated it and it was a typical Silva start.

Jan Brewer 'appalled' to hear of illegal alien release
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said in a Tuesday release that she was "appalled" at the Department of Homeland Security for releasing illegal immigrants being held in jails.
DHS said the illegal immigrants were being let go because of impending federal budget cuts, but Brewer is not buying it.
"This is pure political posturing and the height of absurdity given that the releases are being granted before the federal 'sequestration' cuts have even gone into effect," she said in the release.
Gillian Christensen, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman, said ICE has reviewed "several hundred cases" of immigrants being held in jails around the country and released them in the last week. They have been "placed on an appropriate, more cost-effective form of supervised release," she said.
Brewer said the decision makes a "mockery" of the American immigration system and it risks the safety of Americans.
"We cannot let public safety and the rule of law be collateral damage of the president's failed leadership to pass a budget."
Tuesday's announcement of jail releases is the first tangible impact of the looming budget cuts for DHS.
The Obama administration has been issuing dire warnings about the impact of the sequestration and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano told reporters at the White House Monday that across-the-board cuts would impact the department's core operations, including border security and airport screening operations.
She also warned that DHS might not be able to afford to keep the 34,000 immigration jail beds mandated by Congress. On average last week, there were 30,773 people being held in ICE jails.
"I don't think we can maintain the same level of security at all places around the country with sequester as without sequester," said Napolitano, adding that the impact would be "`like a rolling ball. It will keep growing."
According to the National Immigration Forum, it costs the government about $164 a day to keep an illegal immigrant facing deportation jailed. In a report on immigration detention costs last year the advocacy group said costs for supervised release can range from about 30 cents to $14 a day.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Color trends come and go, but blue and white remains a timeless design combination.
For centuries, the soul-soothing, easy-on-the-eyes partnership we find in nature has inspired people to create porcelain, paint, fabric, wallpaper and rugs that bring blue and white indoors.
Ancient blue-and-white Chinese porcelains, long the desire of collectors, are still copied today. French-country style stays comfortably chic with blue-and-white gingham and toile. Grandmother's collection of English Blue Willow tableware still sets an inviting Thanksgiving table.
Texas designer Shirley Hill reported a resurgence of the blue-and-white combination at the recent furniture market in High Point, N.C. Among the items were Thibaut wallpapers and HGTV designer Genevieve Gorder's globally inspired update on the classic theme: an ikat rug with bright blue chevrons on a pure white background.
Paint companies offer seemingly endless shades of both blue and white. Blues run from deep ocean navy to aqua to pale sky, and whites from gleaming snow to sand to soft cream. They can be paired to create every mood, from dark and mysterious to light and airy, and any style, whether contemporary, country or coastal.
Hill says the color combination works in most any setting.
"It's classic. It's welcoming. It's calming. It's nostalgic. And I think it's addictive," says the designer, whose blue-and-white collections include Imari porcelain, flow blue and Royal Copenhagen china, and vintage marbled graniteware.
It's easy to introduce the color scheme into a home.
Ease into a blue-and-white décor with a bold sapphire club chair contained with crisp, white welting. Or update an antique sofa with casual blue and white stripes. Hill goes for the unexpected by using a blue-and-white ceramic garden stool as a shower seat.
Touches of cobalt can be repeated in kitchen island lights and stemware displayed in white cabinets.
Play it safe with a few botanical, graphic or tribal-pattern accents. Slip a piece of graphic blue-and-white wallpaper beneath the glass of a coffee table. Cluster blue-and-white ginger jars on a front hall chest. Or group blue-and-white porcelain plates as wall art.
Make quiet or bold statements with paint. Add robin's egg blue to the back of a cabinet to show off white tableware.
The fearless may wash dining room walls in glossy indigo and heighten the drama with white chairs and candles.
Broad blue-and-white-striped wallpaper can anchor a nautical theme in a bedroom. White bedding against a sky-blue headboard creates a softer touch.
All shades of blue and white blend easily, so cobalt and turquoise pillows can go on a denim couch. Or mix shades in a glass tile back splash.
The combo also blends well with other color schemes, including yellow, coral, red and brown. Hill's choice: blue and white with watermelon.

Would rather see Glover than Davis up next for Jones, so I am not complaining.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Alyssa Gwirtz Helps to "Rebuild Together New Orleans"Posted Apr. 11, 2011
Gwirtz assisted Rebuilding Together New Orleans, an organization that helps to rebuild homes for low-income families in the city that was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. This organization strives to provide revitalization to New Orleans' neighborhoods.
Gwirtz said that throughout this experience, she "gained great compassion and knowledge." When she saw the joy and gratitude on the homeowner's face, it made the whole experience "even more rewarding." Gwirtz believes she truly made a difference in the life of the homeowner, Sarah. Sarah's home had been under eight feet of water when the storm hit, and her face lit up when she saw how far her home had come along.
Alyssa believes the experience gave her more knowledge pertaining to construction. She had never renovated a home before. She said she made sure they salvaged as much wood and other materials as possible as they re-framed and sided the home. In addition to gaining experience outside of the classroom that will help her stand out from others in her field of construction management, Gwirtz also learned that "one person can really make a difference in another's life."

LEXINGTON - Starmount made an early exit in the 2A state playoffs with an opening-round 4-2 loss to West Davidson last Tuesday night.
In a first-half scoring outburst, the Dragons struck first with 28:59 remaining when TJ Eller scored an unassisted goal from a free kick.
Chandler Chappell brought the Rams even at 1-1 less than three minutes later on an unassisted goal.
But West responded with a quick goal at the 20:41 mark when Sammy Antonelli found the back of the net to put the Dragons back up at 2-1.
Starmount knotted the game once again when Chappell set up David Barrera for the equalizing goal to tie the game a 2-2 late in the first half.
The Dragons weren't done in the opening half as Eller scored his second goal to put West up for good when he punched it in from a corner kick with 12:12 left on the clock.
In the second half, both squads attacked and countered the other teams' attack, but the Dragons controlled possession.
"We made too many little mistakes in the open field," Draughn explained. "We would win the ball and then turn it over or play the ball deep and kill our attack. We keep shooting ourselves in the foot when we tried to make a charge."
Starmount struggled to find the equalizer as Eller completed his hat trick with 7:49 left in the game to seal West's 4-2 first-round victory.
"It was one of those games where we played well in the first half and everything that could go wrong, went wrong, in regards to our possession and shooting," Draughn said. "I am proud of the boys for the season they had. A lot of people had written us off but we managed to salvage the season and finish 9-8-2 overall and 7-7 in conference.
"We will make some changes next season and during the offseason, but I hate it for the seven seniors who played their last game in a SHS soccer uniform," he continued. "To the returning players: the challenge is to you. With a drop in classification and a somewhat new conference, the future is bright for us, but it all starts during the offseason."

Black Kite's 'Collingwood Canopy' mural to be celebrated July 13Written by Danielle Stanton | | email@example.com
EDITOR'S NOTE: The date of the unveiling has been changed from July 6 to July 13 due to a death in the community.
Ever since Black Kite Coffee on Collingwood Boulevard opened in July 2012, owner Kristin Kiser said its southern wall "screamed" for public art. The need for a mural was even written into the building's rental contract, she said.
Thanks to the efforts of Art Corner Toledo (ACT) and several other partnering organizations, artist Matt Taylor — who also painted the "Toledo Loves Love" mural organized by ACT — painted the side of Kiser's building into a tribute to the Old West End neighborhood.
"My husband (Andrew Newby) and I have a handful of passions and one of them is public art," Kiser said. "This [mural] makes a huge impact on the neighborhood. And the fact that the artist designed the entire thing to be based on the Old West End, that's significant for the whole city."
The mural, "Collingwood Canopy," which is 32 feet wide and 55 feet tall, pays tribute to the Old West End neighborhood, including a shoutout to Robert Brundage, a neighborhood activist who was killed by an attacker while riding his bike through the neighborhood. One panel of the mural features Honey Locusts trees, which once lined Collingwood Boulevard before they were cut down by the city. Another panel shows a Victorian house and wrought iron gate.
The community is invited to attend an official unveiling ceremony from 3-5 p.m. July 13 at Black Kite Coffee, 2499 Collingwood Blvd.
"I wasn't a close friend to Dr. Brundage, but I did remember him riding around and being active in the community," said Taylor, who goes by Mr. Taylor. "[ACT founder] Rachel [Richardson] had given me some clues on what she'd like to include and why they related to Dr. Brundage. But it was a call to the neighborhood itself and that street of Collingwood. Scott High School was referenced. You can see the bell at the very top. I almost feel like I want to make a guide book or an image at the end to show what is in there. I will probably get around to that."
Kiser said she knew she wanted art on that wall of the building when Richardson came to her and said, "Let's do it." ACT is a nonprofit organization that coordinates public art projects.
"I'm totally moved by it," Richardson said. "It's a very special thing when a mural is complete, and it's a very powerful thing. I consider these [murals] to be my kids."
Richardson pulled in the Old West End Association, which donated $750, and Toledo.com, which organized a Crowdtilt fundraiser, raising about $1,500. She also gathered support from The Home Depot, Sunbelt Rentals, Art Supply Depo and individual donors.
Toledo City Councilwoman Lindsay Webb gave her personal support with a private donation, Richardson said.
In total, the project raised $4,000, she said.
"I'm happy with it and happy to support anything that brings positivity to the neighborhood," said Amanda Lyons, Old West End Association president.
John Eikost, Toledo.com editor and board member of The Arts Commission, wasn't surprised that Toledo residents responded fast and hard to the Crowdtilt campaign, a form of online fundraising.
"I feel like the creative community in Toledo is stronger than it's ever been," he said. "You know there so much talk of blight and Rust Belt decay and I felt confident that Toledo would step up and support this type of artistic expression."
The trees displayed in the mural refer to the Honey Locust trees that lined both sides of Collingwood. The city removed dozens of the trees between Islington and Monroe streets last year. The city said the trees had to come down because their root system would have been destroyed by a water project the city was conducting as part of a revamp of the street.
The city has promised to replant 89 trees within a year of the project's completion. The street is currently under construction. Critics have said it will take decades for those trees to grow enough to have full canopies over the street.
Meanwhile, Old West End residents and Toledoans across the city will be able to appreciate the trees by the new mural, Richardson said.

Apple announces 5 million in sales for iPhone 5, 100 million in updates for iOS 6
Apple has just announced their sales figures for the iPhone 5 and once again they don't fail to impress -- 5 million in the 3 days since September 21. Apple also announced that 100 million iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads have updated to iOS 6 since it was released on September 19.
"Demand for iPhone 5 has been incredible and we are working hard to get an iPhone 5 into the hands of every customer who wants one as quickly as possible," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "While we have sold out of our initial supply, stores continue to receive iPhone 5 shipments regularly and customers can continue to order online and receive an estimated delivery date. We appreciate everyone's patience and are working hard to build enough iPhone 5s for everyone."
Last weekend's numbers include sales in the US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the UK. This coming weekend, Apple will launch the iPhone 5 in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland as well.
Last year's iPhone 4S launch reached 4 million on launch weekend while the iPhone 4 reached 1.7 million but had a much smaller initial release.
So how do those numbers stack up to your expectations? And how do they reconcile with some of the press and public sentiment that the iPhone 5 lacked some of the obvious, blow-you-away new features of previous years? Are they a sign that consumers aren't nearly as bored with Apple as some would have you believe, or that we'd buy a rock from Apple if they wrapped it up right?

Apple announces 5 million in sales for iPhone 5, 100 million in updates for iOS 6
Congrats to omarus for being the first one to make me chuckle today.
If Apple made a rock that could do what this thing does then yes. Lol...but I expected a lot more sales than any other, no matter what they always do that but they blew it out of the water. Do we know what part of that figure is in the US. Just wondering. A lot of the people like this design. But now no glass on the back and a little bump to the screen size. This processor is so fast too. They just keep perfecting it. There is no phone that feels as solid and quality as this phone.
They are BELOW my expectations and most analysts. With all of the iPhone 4 owner's pent up demand, I was thinking this would be an 7-9million blowout. Gene Munster said 6million would be a worst case scenario. Sure, 5 million is a lot, but only 1 million more than the iPhone 4s and a much wider release. Wall street doesn't seem impressed, $Aapl is down almost 2% in extended hours trading.
One thing to keep in mind - Verizon's initial iPhone 4 buyers. Most of those folks that had to have a then 9 month old phone the second it became available on Verizon are not eligible for upgrade pricing until 10/7, which, sadly, puts them at a disadvantage by not being able to preorder and not able to order until then, when it will be a few weeks out.
They're selling them as fast (or faster) than they can make them. There are 8 year old kids in China working 20 hours a day but still not keeping up. Every store near me sold out of everything they had. Despite all of this, they have the best supply chain and manufacturing capabilities of any tech company. It's not Apple's fault that Wall Street always asks for more.
Another thing to keep in mind is a lot of 4s users on iOS 6 are probably having trouble finding their way to the store.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I had an iPhone 4S with iOS6. Me & my Captain kept trying to get Siri to give us directions to the Apple store.
* Asked for the Apple store – Got sent to "Apple Auto Glass"
* Asked where I could buy an iPhone 5 – Was told "Apple China Restaurant"
* Asked for directions to "Market Mall" (Apple store located inside) – Siri directed us to a river.
* Asked directions by telling Siri the Apple store's street address – Was given directions to an address in Toronto (3,235 km away)
Needless to say we never made it to the Apple store today lol
Apple can't count preorders as sales that haven't shipped. Initially, the transaction is recognized as Unearned Revenue (a liability). Then upon shipment (or when shipment actually is received), sales is credited and the liability gets wiped out.
I imagine there's a few million preorders in transit or backorder. Munster's expectations included all preorders though. In addition, you can't sell what you don't have. Apple basically sold out through in store channels early meaning sales were basically capped by what they could produce initially.
I'm not surprised, but still impressed. I think the numbers will continue to climb as more people get their hands on the 5. After this weekend of using mine, most of the features that I'm enjoying the most can't be described, but must be experienced (lighter weight, fluidity of browsing, more screen real estate, beautiful design, etc.). My sister (iPhone 4 owner) was set on not getting the 5, but once she put her hands on mine, she was sold in the first few minutes without me saying a word. She ordered the 5 that night.
Just proves that it's harder to stay on top than it is to get there. Expectations have gotten out of control. 5 Million is a huge launch!
The 5 is a great product, and I'm sure it will sell very well globally. But, I think it marks the nearly full maturation of Apple's original iPhone concept. Remember, the original iphone had no apps. The iPhone 3G couldn't record video. The iphone 4 added the retina display and a great new design (sans antenna gate). The 4s added more speed, and siri. The 5 added LTE (in some places) and another great design, though it feels cheaper in my hand than the 4s. You can see the curve flattening out. I wonder if Apple can keep it up, especially with Steve no longer around.
Whether or not it meets Wall Street expectations, I still find these kind of numbers amazing. That's a phone for almost everybody in my state. It takes perfect logistics and a lot of faith in your sales estimates to accomplish that.
Wow, did I just say something of Apple's is amazing? That's a first for me lol.
Very impressive numbers, I have ios 6 on my 4, but i feel like it's a tad bit misleading, I mean if you arent bringing all the features of the new update to a device, shouldn't count,i mean panorama come on, we know the 4 can run that and turn by turn, slapping a number on something and calling it upgraded is a falsity. But in the end still a lot of 4s got updated and thats more than i can say for my S3 right now lol
Yep. Android catches (and deserves) a lot of flack for how slow the OEMs are to update. But when they do update you get all the features available in the new release. Plus your S3 on ICS has more features than iOS 6 offers to start with.
Forcing you to upgrade to a new phone to get basic features is a blatent money grab by Apple. Great for shareholders, not so good for consumers. So long as people keep throwing money at them they will never change.
I assume this number does not include the 2M sold on the presale.......so 7M units sounds pretty solid.
If only my movies sold as well.
If Apple had the stock they would have sold more, A lot of people just plain didn't order or pre order because they new they would have to wait. So they will just sit and wait for the stock to come in and go pickup one at the store.
