Rick Santorum's powerful finish in the Iowa caucus is bringing fresh attention to his tenure in Congress, including ethics questions that dogged him about a preferred mortgage he received from a bank run by campaign donors, and federal funds that went to a real estate developer who backed his charity.
One of the top donors to Santorum's charity was also the beneficiary of an $8 million Santorum-sponsored federal earmark, according to published reports. Melanie Sloan, a former federal prosecutor who filed an ethics complaint against Santorum in 2006 on behalf of a watchdog group, said her organization's website received a tidal wave of visitors in the past 24 hours, and in an interview she said she believes people will discover that the GOP presidential contender is "hardly the moral paragon he purports to be."
"There were several instances in which Santorum appeared to have taken campaign contributions in direct exchange for legislative assistance," said Sloan, whose organization, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), spent months investigating Santorum's activities while he was in office. "He violated Senate gift rules by accepting a mortgage from a bank in which he had no interest and which otherwise made loans only to its own investors."
Santorum has rarely responded to such attacks, but at one point he wrote a letter to a Philadelphia newspaper criticizing the ethics complaints as a series of "disingenuous innuendo and half-truths." The Senate Committee on Ethics never responded to CREW's complaint, and the two-term senator left Congress in 2007 after losing a reelection bid. A Santorum campaign spokesman has not yet responded to phone messages and email requests for comment.
For months, Santorum's record and background have escaped presidential-caliber scrutiny from rivals and reporters because he never appeared to have traction with voters in the early Republican contests. But as Santorum's GOP rivals have learned, the national spotlight can be searing. Questions about Newt Gingrich's consulting work for Fannie Mae surfaced in attack ads against him. Herman Cain bowed out of the race after reports of sexual harassment complaints dogged him for weeks. If the pattern holds true as the winnowed GOP field heads from Iowa down the rural roads of New Hampshire, Santorum will be the latest to undergo intensified scrutiny from rival campaigns and from the national media.
Perhaps the most jarring detail from his tenure in office is the unorthodox $500,000 mortgage that Santorum and his wife secured on the home in rural Virginia they had purchased for $643,361. According to a series of reports in the Philadelphia Daily News, the mortgage came from Philadelphia Trust Company, a fledgling private bank catering to "affluent investors and institutions" whose officers had contributed $24,000 to Santorum's political action committees and re-election campaign.
In advertising, the lender said it only offered its preferred rates to well-heeled borrowers who also used their investment services. But Santorum's public disclosure forms showed he did not have the required minimum $250,000 in liquid assets and was not an investor with Philadelphia Trust. His ability to secure the five-year loan led Sloan to file a complaint under a Senate ethics rule that specifically prohibits members from accepting a loan on terms not available to members of the general public. At the time, a Santorum spokeswoman told the Daily News that the mortgage terms were set at "market rates," but did not provide further comment.
After leaving Congress in 2007, Santorum sold the house for $850,000.
Santorum Charity Backer Got Federal Earmark
The other issue that captivated Santorum critics involved a non-profit charity called Operation Good Neighbor. Santorum founded the organization to "illustrate compassionate conservatism" but did not take a formal role in its day-to-day operations. The charity was run by his campaign staffers. It operated out of the same building as his campaign headquarters. And its board included several top Washington, D.C. lobbyists who had clients with millions of dollars in business before the U.S. Senate, according to a 2006 report by WTAE, the ABC News affiliate in Pittsburgh.
The chairman of Operation Good Neighbor was Michael O'Neill, CEO of Preferred Real Estate. The company was involved in a waterfront development in Chester, Pa., that, with Santorum's help, benefitted from more than $8 million in federal grants, according to local reports.
O'Neill told ABC News that accusations suggesting the charity work and his development were connected were "crazy."
"My answer is absolutely not," said O'Neill, who is now out of the real estate business. "I was never told, 'If you do this, we'll help with that.' They were completely unrelated."
O'Neill said Santorum was a figurehead with the charity and that the senator derived no benefit from the work the charity performed — doling out contributions to small groups around the state. "He was proud of the work of the charity," O'Neill said. "Rick helped bring exposure, but other than that, he didn't get anything out of it."
O'Neill also said the former senator should be proud of the waterfront development, which he says has helped deliver 2,000 jobs to downtown Chester, where there is now a soccer stadium, an office building, and a casino.
Santorum also defended the federal grants in a letter to the Philadelphia Daily News, saying his efforts to win federal money for O'Neill's waterfront development represented "a prime example of how, when used appropriately, earmarks can be beneficial."
"When Preferred Real Estate became interested in investing in the region, specifically in the revitalization of a blighted former generating plant, I was ecstatic — this was exactly the type of project that could kick off a full-scale economic rebirth and help combat poverty," he wrote. "So, working with the city, I helped bring federal money to improve access to the riverfront, renovating roads like Route 291 and Highland Avenue, as well as to better the environment of the riverfront, making it a more attractive place for Pennsylvanians to work and live."
O'Neill has not committed to supporting Santorum's presidential bid, saying he is waiting to see if Santorum can focus on more mainstream economic issues, rather than social issues.
"If he doesn't win it won't be because of his ethics," O'Neill told ABC News. "What's going to kill him is, this country wants someone down the middle."

General Overview
Nevada is one of six states that make up the Southern Intermountain West, along with Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Idaho. The Southern Intermountain West is the last true frontier in the continental United States. While other regions have received tremendous investment of federal funding, this region has yet to realize its full developmental potential. In a report published in 2008, the Brookings Institution described the explosive growth of the "Mountain Megas" and the critical needs of this region, including infrastructure, human capital, and the need for enhanced research and development to build diversified and sustainable economies. As the fastest-growing of these "Mountain Megas," Southern Nevada has long wrestled with these challenges but has, of yet, been unable to find an effective way to put the puzzle of urban sustainability together.
There is a compelling need for community and research entities from urban and rural areas in Southern Nevada to come together to map out regional and statewide priorities along with mechanisms for collaborating with other service sectors to create a master plan that bonds together federal, state, regional, and city agencies to address the large-scale challenges faced today – particularly in education, health, and social services. Nevada is small enough to do this effectively; by cooperatively creating a sustainable vision, the state can demonstrate the kind of horizontal and vertical integration needed to secure federal funds and community interventions that address needed services.
The Lincy Institute is the central resource hub that connects best practices to cutting-edge research and analysis to develop a plan across state, local, and private-agency boundaries. This hub must be aggressively multidisciplinary to coordinate, facilitate, and support regional, community partnerships focused on our human capital and to attract significantly increased federal support and other funding.
The Institute focuses on three divisions that will collect, refine, and exponentially expand UNLV's impact in our community: education, health, and social services. Nevada has been less than successful in attracting the level of federal support needed to meet its growing needs. In fact, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report published in October 2008, Nevada is last in the amount of grants per capita from the federal government. One example of this is the U.S. Health Resources and Service Administration grants. In 2007, according to a report by the Southern Nevada Health District, Arizona received $77 million in HRSA grants and Oklahoma received $44 million while Nevada received approximately $30 million — an inequity that The Lincy Institute can play a significant role in addressing by bringing together non-profit and nongovernmental agencies to collaborate on larger grants and joint programs.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Absolute Best,
By A Customer
This review is from: D'Eux (Audio CD)
Since she was 12 years old, Celine Dion has been recording in French. In those years, she was fortunate to work with some of the best songwriters in France and in Quebec, who had the impossible task of writing material for a teenage girl, and then for a young woman.
Then she met Jean-Jacques Goldman.
A singer/songwriter Dion calls "the Bruce springsteen of France", Goldman took the time to really get to the singer before writing a word. He read every interview he could find. He watched every television appearance he could get his hands on. He met with Dion and Rene Angelil and took the opportunity to know her and find out what her abilities and talents really were. Then he took the time to work with her, gave her constructive criticism on her singing style, and gave her a renewed sense of confidence in her abilities.
The end result was the largest-selling Francophone album - ever. This album is practically flawless. From beginning to end, the listener gets the absolute best of Dion's abilities, whether she's singing an upbeat song or pouring her heart in the love ballads, there is no denying this is Celine at her best.
For fans of Celine Dion, this is a must-have. for fans of French music, this is a must-have.

5.0 out of 5 stars celine's best work,
Natacha P (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: D'Eux (Audio CD)
i am not sure as to how popular this cd has been in the states, but it being a french record, i don't doubt that many haven't heard much about it. however, i have to say this is her best work ever. celine personally thinks so herself, and i have to say i agree with her completely on this one... "pour que tu m'aimes encore" is her classic song, one which everyone, from 4 year old kids to 65 year old women were singing along to, knowing every single word of it when it hit big in europe... she also sings a song to her dear Karine who if i believe passed away in her arms of cystic fibrosis when she was just 12 years old [i apologize for any inaccuracy if it is the case]... that track is called "vole", meaning "fly" and which i believe can be found on her "falling into you" cd, the song being then translated into english, as well as for "if that's what it takes", a translation of "pour que tu m'aimes encore"... althought it might be original to translate songs into english, i can guarantee you that the english versions are no equivalents for the french versions; some things can only be said and realized in its full potential in a certain language, and some things just cannot be translated, period.
no matter, music is universal, so if you enjoy celine and regardless of whether you know french or not, this is a cd to be enjoyed :)
5.0 out of 5 stars Celine's best work,

The Jackson County District Attorney's Office will present the Bourne Huddleston case to a grand jury and hear witness testimony, Thursday.
The man charged with shooting his wife, Kristy Huddleston, now claims she shot herself in the head in front of him.
In an affidavit filed with the court, Huddleston claims his wife shot herself.
Then he claims he washed her hands, washed his hands, left their home, disposed of the gun and never called 9-1-1.
This is all while their ten year old son lay sleeping in the next room.

The U Closes
Categories: Restaurant News & Reviews
The Midtown restaurant's final service was Saturday night. It opened in April 2008. When I reviewed the U that summer, I liked it, especially its take on a Reuben sandwich.
The space won't be vacant for very long, however. Joe Bonwich of the Post-Dispatch reports that a Southwestern-themed restaurant called Adobe Red's is slated to open there this spring.

Well, we didn't score, but that was an impressive drive. Maybe it's Caldwell but Joe is looking authoritative and awesome.

Well, we didn't score, but that was an impressive drive. Maybe it's Caldwell but Joe is looking authoritative and awesome.
Flacco is clearly in control and throwing strikes out there.
Well, for one thing, Oher is at LT and Joe is not getting killed. Secondly, Joe is putting the ball on the money. Third, I get the sense that the WRs can't handle the heat he puts on the ball sometimes. Then again, it is still preseason.
I would take Ngata over both any day of the week.
The Offensive line has held up well so far, apart from a hold on Oher. Osemele has looked solid so far too.
Flacco has been impressive. Is he finally taking that next step that we've been talking about for 2 or 3 years now? If so, we're in for a fun season.
Joe and the playcalling is helping out the O Line big time. These hard counts and screens are slowing their D Line down.
For those of you who are wondering why every team does not employ the 'Sugar' huddle, it is not easy for a QB to run.
Kruger almost had a pick six
Freddy Kruger!!!
That was six points for Kruger.
Kruger can cover. Who knew?
Kruger looking incredible in pass coverage.. why the fuck is Webbie returning kicks in the preseasn?????????????? what the fuck?
Got to love what a week makes..just last week some were saying we were garbage and 4-12 was the best we would do lol. This week it seems to be majority of the positive comments.
Almost the same kinda play Kruger made to walk off on the Steelers a couple of years ago...

The NFL season is into October and because of that the NFL is supporting breast cancer awareness month by adding the color pink to uniforms, referee flags and TV networks are using a pink line instead of a yellow one. It's been like that for a few years. I think it's a great thing that the NFL is doing. My sister is a breast cancer survivor, so any time money is raised and awareness is increased I'm all for it. I think sometimes the NFL overdoes it a bit, but I don't mind it. Anyway, it's worth mentioning because it's going to be noticeable during the games over the next month. I'm not sure the pink could help the Jaguars help, though. Nothing can help that.
Before we get to this week's games, here are some thoughts on the Thursday night game.
Cleveland 37 - Buffalo 24: I was at a bar for a friend's birthday, so didn't see the game that much although every time there was a big play I did pay attention. Obviously the big story of the game was that Browns QB Brian Hoyer got hurt early and then Bills QB EJ Manuel got hurt with both guys having knee injuries. It looks like Hoyer's is the worse of the two. Brandon Weeden played well for the Browns or at least well enough. Their defense and special teams each came up with scores, so that helped too. The Browns move to 3-2 with three straight wins. It turned out to be an entertaining game after all.
Last week straight up: 7-8. Season: 36-27 (.571)
Byes: Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, Washington
All game times are in the Eastern time zone.
New England (4-0) at Cincinnati (2-2) 1:00 pm
I'm one of those people that believes the Patriots aren't as good as their record, but I also admit that I could be very wrong about that. I like the Bengals a lot this year and think these are the types of games they know they have to win in order to be taken seriously as a top team in the AFC. What worries me about Cincy is they are hurting at CB and I think Tom Brady's going to take advantage of that. On the other hand, I think the Patriots defense will miss veteran DT Vince Wilfork (out for the year) quite a bit and I think the Bengals balanced offensive attack (give it to Bernard more!) will do enough to win a close game. Bengals 23-20
Detroit (3-1) at Green Bay (1-2) 1:00 pm
I just read that the Lions haven't won in Green Bay since 1991. That's a lot of losing in that stadium for that team. I think the Packers are going to be sharp coming out of their bye week, though. The Lions have impressed me and I underrated them a bit so far this year, but I like that Packers offense too much to go against them at home in a big game. Look for Aaron Rodgers to make it difficult for the Lions defense all day long. I expect Detroit to put up some points to cover the spread. Packers 31-27
Seattle (4-0) at Indianapolis (3-1) 1:00 pm
The Seahawks showed last week against the Texans that they are beatable when they go on the road, but they also showed they are never out of a game. That INT TD by Richard Sherman (the best corner in the game in my opinion) showed they are very hard to keep down even when they're trailing. It's a big test for the Colts, who are a team on the rise. I think the Seahawks style of play will dictate the tempo, which means it's likely to be a low scoring game. I'm going with the Seahawks to establish RB Marshawn Lynch while QB Russell Wilson continues to find a way to get it done even with a mediocre WR group. Seahawks 20-17
Baltimore (2-2) at Miami (3-1) 1:00 pm
There were comments this week from Ravens coach John Harbaugh about how they need to involve star RB Ray Rice more. Of course they do. How do they get away from that? Last week Joe Flacco threw five INTs. That needs to stop. Get Rice the ball whether it's via screen passes or running outside. I like the Ravens defense, but if they turn it over that many teams they won't win. As for the Dolphins, I think they need to run Lamar Miller. I like his game a lot. Maybe they're saving him or they don't trust him yet. Their run game needs his explosiveness. I think it will be a close game. I'm rolling with the Ravens just because I think they learned from mistakes that cost them last week. Veteran teams tend to do that. Ravens 24-20
New Orleans (4-0) at Chicago (3-1) 1:00 pm
I've been off on the Bears all year. I think I've only got their win over Minnesota right this year and even that was on a last second play to win the game. The Saints looked amazing last Monday home to the Dolphins, but they're a different team on the road. I'm not sure if we'll see that same team again. The Bears defense isn't as good as last year and everybody in the NFL knows it. The offense is better, though. I think this one has shootout potential. I'm going with the home team. Just a hunch. Bears 34-31
Philadelphia (1-3) at N.Y. Giants (0-4) 1:00 pm
Two bad teams that suck at defense and in the Giants case have sucked on offense for most of this season too. I expect a lot of points and the Giants to get their first win after they realize that they have to run the ball in order to set up the pass. Giants 37-27
Jacksonville (0-4) at St. Louis (1-3) 1:00 pm
Believe me when I tell you that I don't really trust the Rams at this point. I had so much optimism for them this year, but it's been a rough start. At least with the Jags they aren't facing a quality opponent. I think with some extra rest after last Thursday and the fact that they are playing the worst team will be a great thing for the Rams. It should be a comfortable win thanks to the defense having a big day. Rams 24-7
Kansas City (4-0) at Tennessee (3-1) 1:00 pm
I might have picked the Titans in this game, but with Ryan Fitzpatrick in at QB in place of the injured Jake Locker I have my doubts about them. The Chiefs are the more sound football team to me. They're balanced on offense, they have a great defense at all levels and a motivated head coach in Andy Reid who is doing a great job in his first year there. I expect Fitzpatrick to make some costly mistakes (he's always been interception prone) with the Chiefs capitalizing on them to win the game. It will be close, though. Chiefs 20-17
Carolina (1-2) at Arizona (2-2) 4:05 pm
They're both hard teams to get a read on. I don't think either is a playoff team yet neither is so bad that they are a bottom five team. The Cardinals probably shouldn't have beat the Bucs, but they took advantage of mistakes by a bad team. Neither team can run that well, the defenses are pretty good and both are having issues passing the ball although the Cards still have Larry Fitzgerald at least. I think this will be a low scoring, ugly game to watch. Cardinals 17-16
Denver (4-0) at Dallas (2-2) 4:25 pm
I doubt I'll pick against the Broncos all year as long as they are relatively healthy. That doesn't mean I think they are going 16-0 necessarily, but something like 14 wins is very possible. Their game at KC could give them problems. The Cowboys? I think they can handle that. Lucky for Dallas, they are in a division where they could still be in first place at 2-3 and they could even have a one game lead with it. I like Peyton Manning and his crew of WRs to get the job done again. Broncos 34-23
Houston (2-2) at San Francisco (2-2) 8:30 pm
I expected both teams to have better records heading into this game. The Niners were impressive in dismantling the Rams last week while the Texans blew a lead against the Seahawks thanks to Matt Schaub's poorly timed INT that Richard Sherman converted into a TD. With Schaub looking like he's off his game I don't like Houston's chances against the instinctive defense of the Niners. I'll take the home team to win this one. Niners 24-16
San Diego (2-2) at Oakland (1-3) 11:35 pm
The time of this game got pushed back by seven hours because the Oakland A's have a playoff baseball game in the same stadium as the Raiders. It's a really late start for those of us in the Eastern time zone. The Chargers have been able to score with Phil Rivers playing very well, but I like the Raiders at home with Terrelle Pryor back in the lineup. I like divisional home underdogs. Not all the time. I just think the Raiders will find a way to win because that's just how the NFL is sometimes. Raiders 27-24
N.Y. Jets (2-2) at Atlanta (1-3) 8:40 pm
I think this will be a blowout win for an angry Falcons team that is facing a rookie QB in Geno Smith, who has been making a lot of mistakes of late. It's tough to win in that dome. Atlanta's going to be so focused that even with all their injuries (they really miss a healthy Roddy White) they will dominate this one. It's time for the defense of the Falcons to step up. It's the right opponent for them to do it against. Bet on Atlanta at -9.5 if you can because that number is going up by Sunday. Falcons 33-13
Five Favorite Bets of the Week
Last week: 2-2-1 Season 7-12-1. The lines come from SportsBook.com.
@ Atlanta -9.5 over NY Jets - Like I said that number may go up.
Denver -7.5 over @ Dallas - The Broncos are 4-0 against the spread. Make it five.
Seahawks @ Indianapolis UNDER 44 - Feels like an under game to me.
@ San Francisco -6 over Houston - I think the Niners defense will impose their will to win this game.
Detroit +7 over Green Bay - Packers win, but Lions cover the points.
That's all for me this week. Enjoy the games and good luck to you.

I was changing the light switches around the house when I came upon this setup.
The two switches to the right are all wired using the hot wire (black) from the two electrical wire on the back panel. All cold wire (white) are tied together and are left unused.
I am no expert and not even an amateur, but I find this setup strange.
If I change the light switches, should I follow the same connection setup in the picture or try using a standard black-white setup?
The switch on the left (not visible) is a three-way switch.

State Softball Concludes Fall Play Undefeated at 8-0
Sept. 29, 2013
RALEIGH, N.C. – The NC State softball team completed its fall schedule undefeated, after collecting a pair of wins on Saturday and Sunday at the Ray Chandler Memorial Tournament held at the Walnut Creek Softball Complex.
The Wolfpack defeated the Campbell Camels in its first game of the day on Saturday, 7-5, before returning to the field later that afternoon to defeat Pitt Community College by a final score of 4-1. On Sunday, NC State bested Elon, 8-0, and routed North Carolina Central by the run rule, 9-1, in the second game.
"It's good to conclude fall play 8-0," said head coach Shawn Rychcik. "We had some struggles, but we did have some players get better during the fall. Hopefully, we're a little closer to our starting lineup for the spring."
Junior Emily Weiman, the 2013 ACC Pitcher of the Year, pitched the first game of the weekend against Campbell and picked up the win as senior Scout Albertson drove in the go-ahead runs. Against Pitt CC, freshman Tyler Ross provided the offense with two hits, while fellow newcomer Courtney Mirabella allowed one run in the circle to collect the win.
The Pack came out swinging on Sunday as the offense connected for nine hits in each game. Mirabella collected the win in circle against Elon, while sophomore Chelsea Stanfield pitched the second game and also claimed the win. Junior Renada Davis, a 2013 All-ACC first team selection, homered against North Carolina Central.
"We got to see a lot of kids play and get some experience, which will help us out a lot when trying to decide on a lineup in the spring," Rychcik added. "I don't think we're done working on our lineup completely, but we did get some direction."
NC State's 2014 spring schedule has not been announced, but will be posted to GoPack.com when it is released.

Thanks to the publishers of the Common English Bible at I have a copy this new translation to give-away (maybe two). A full review will be forthcoming but for now let me say this translation has caught me off guard. It is good. It is a good read and it is well thought through on some of the difficult passages. I can see why Dan likes it alongside his NRSV and NIV!
In order to enter the completion all you have to do is either post a comment here or write a blog post about your favourite verse relating to ministry and tell me what you think of the way the CEB translates it. For instance, two of my favourite verses in the New Testament are Galatians 1:10-12 and 2 Timothy 4:2-5. I have been thoroughly impressed with the CEB's rendering of both passages. Also, if you have a moment I would love to hear why the passage means so much. Here are my texts as translated in the CEB:
Galatians 1:10 reads: "Am I trying to win over human beings or God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I wouldn't be Christ's slave. Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that the gospel I preached isn't human in origin. I didn't receive it or learn it from a human. It came through a revelation from Jesus Christ."
2 Timothy 4:2-5 says: "Preach the word. Be ready to do it whether it is convenient or inconvenient. Correct, confront, and encourage with patience and instruction. There will come a time when people will not tolerate sound teaching. They will collect teachers who say what they want to hear because they are self-centred. They will turn their back on the truth and turn to myths. But you must keep control of yourself in all circumstances. Endure suffering, do the work of a preacher of the good news, and carry out your service fully."
The Galatians verse reminds me who I am ultimately accountable and also provides a model of how I should think theologically and hermeneutically. Sometimes I am tempted not take a stand for fear of offending someone. Now don't miss hear me, we should never be rude or arrogant but ultimately I have to answer to the Lord! The 2 Timothy passage has been with me ever since I can remember and encourages me in my vocational calling to preach the word. Nothing more, nothing less. The rest of the text speaks for itself. Both passages have been incredibly encouraging to me over the past week or so.
As I said, I really like the way the CEB has rendered both passages. They are slightly different but they haven't muted the known voice of each text.

Things I liked:Exact duplicate of the 4.5mm version with plastic slide instead of metal for $30 less. Has IWI markings.
Things I would have changed:Make it single action as well as double.
What others should know:Flipping down and removing the plastic lever on the left side allows slide removal.
Things I liked:This is a realistic all plastic replica. It has a nice all-metal magazine that holds 15 shots. It has two white dots on the rear site, but not on the front. However, it gives a good site picture.
Things I would have changed:This gun shoots a little high. I am using 0.25 BB's to bring the point of impact down a bit. I want to try slightly heavier BB's, such as 0.28's because the sites do not adjust for altitude.
What others should know:This is a great value with awesome Quality Controls just like all of KWC's other products.
Things I liked:It fits in the hand very well Has a good heft to it despite the plastic shell Very accurate Ambidextrous safety is a nice touch Looks cool, as opposed to 1911 airsoft #3,456
Things I would have changed:Heavy trigger pull, would have been nice if it were a single/double action as opposed to double action only Extra mags are hard to find
What others should know:It's a cool, accurate gun that will rival $90 full metal rigs, if you can deal with a heavy trigger pull and some plastic, keep it in mind. Also it's the only Jericho 941 airsoft I have ever heard of, so that has to be worth something.

Sept. 16, 2008
Birmingham, Al - Lindy's College Basketball Magazine is the first pre-season publication to hit the newsstands, and Cal State Northridge is the publications choice to win the Big West Conference title and advance to the NCAA Tournament in 2008-09.
"Bobby Braswell dipped into the community college recruiting well, and it paid off for the Matadors with a 20-victory season and a share of the Big West title (last year)," said the pre-season publication. "Josh Jenkins' knack for pushing the ball quickly and getting it where it needed to be made the Matadors one of the best transition teams in the west (last year). Another of those transfers, Tremaine Townsend, was as good a post player as there was in the conference, leading the Big West in rebounds and blocked shots while shooting .525 from the field. And four more transfers Braswell recruited could be good enough to give the Matadors another 20-plus wins and their second-ever (2001) NCAA Tournament bid. ... (Deon) Tresvant was one of the most productive substitutes in the country last season, and his long-range jump shooting ability opens a lot of driving lanes."
Cal State Northridge is favored to win the conference followed by UC Santa Barbara, Long Beach State, Cal State Fullerton, Pacific, UC Riverside, UC Irvine, Cal Poly and UC Davis.
Jenkins and Townsend are listed as pre-season first team All-Big West selections while Deon Tresvant is listed as a second team selection. The Honor Roll listing included Best Rebounder: Tremaine Townsend; and Best Playmaker: Josh Jenkins.
Townsend, a second team all-conference selection last year, ranked first in the Big West in rebounding (9.8 rpg), blocked shots (1.2 bpg) and second in field goal percentage (.525) last season. Townsend became the first CSUN player to win the conference rebound and blocked shot titles. For the season, Townsend averaged 10.1 ppg, and also set a school record with 37 blocked shots.
Jenkins was an honorable mention All-Big West selection as he led the conference in assists (191, 6.4 apg, #3 for a single season in school history). Jenkins became the first Matador since Markus Carr (2001-02, 5.3 apg) to win the conference assist title. Jenkins collected a team-leading 49 steals (third-best in the league), and was second in the Big West in assist/turnover ratio (1.62). Jenkins averaged 10.5 ppg, fourth-best on the team.
Tresvant became the first player in school history to lead the team in scoring (13.9 ppg) as a reserve. Tresvant hit a team-leading 83 3-pointers, second-best in the conference and second all-time for a single season at CSUN. Tresvant also attempted 201 three-pointers, #2 all-time for a single season at CSUN. For his efforts, Tresvant gained second team All-Big West honors.
Townsend, Jenkins and Tresvant lead a cast of nine returning lettermen, along with four redshirts, and four incoming players who will comprise the 2008-09 active roster.

Prof. Richard Cole appointed interim dean
Prof. Richard Cole appointed interim dean
Vice President for Academic Affairs Zvi Szafran has appointed Prof. C. Richard Cole interim dean of the School of Architecture and Construction Management following the retirement of Dean Bill Barnes in June.
"Prof. Cole has had a long and distinguished career, both in professional practice and in academia," Dr. Szafran noted.
He is a licensed architect with a master's degree in architecture from Georgia Tech and a certificate from the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) and has maintained an architectural consulting practice in the area of commercial design since 1989. He served as vice president and project manager at Wise, Simpson, Aiken and Associates from 1978 to 1989.
Prof. Cole has taught second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-year Design Studio courses at SPSU since 1987, as well as the architecture core course Professional Practice and Ethics. The Student Government Association chose him as their Outstanding Faculty Member of the Year in 1989 and 1990 and he served as moderator of the SPSU Faculty Senate from 1989 to 1990.
During the 2011-12 academic year he chaired the Architecture Department's Academic Council, which developed the department's newly adopted strategic plan.
The search for a permanent dean will commence in fall 2013.

In the days leading up to MSU volleyball's matchup against San Diego in the NCAA Tournament, a lot of research was done to see what the Toreros are all about.
While digging through the layers of information, I stumbled across what could be the greatest-named sports venue on the planet. The San Diego men's and women's basketball team, as well as their volleyball team, play in Jenny Craig Pavilion, or better known as, get this, the "Slim Gym".
Sid Craig, co-founder of Jenny Craig Inc., one of the nations most successful weight loss companies, gave a major contribution in 1996 to build the gymnasium to honor his wife's diligent work. Not only was it a gift to the university, but it was a Christmas gift to Jenny as well.
While neither of them attended USD, their contribution has given the university a landmark and a facility name that is second to none.
Seriously though, how can anyone not enjoy that nickname? It rhymes, displays stellar word play and tributes one of the most successful companies in America.
Unfortunately, MSU doesn't have too much opportunity for venue nicknames. The only one that popped in mind was the Jack Breslin Student Event Center being called the "Jack Shack", but even that is a marathon away from the likes of the "Slim Gym".

Ross McCormack's second-half goal was enough to ensure a losing start for Bristol City's new manager Sean O'Driscoll after Leeds were booed off at half-time.
Warnock said: "For me, the glass should be half full, not half empty.
"We knew it would be hard work because they have a new manager and are fighting for their lives. We got a grip at half-time and were a lot more positive in the second half.
"Tom Lees and Lee Peltier were fabulous at the back for us. Unfortunately, you can't please everyone, even when you have won six in a row in the league at home."
Of match-winner McCormack he said: "I thought if anyone was going to score it was Ross.
"It was a cracking goal, he deserved it and he covered lots of ground. He was a fraction away from putting one in at the end of the first half and looked very sharp."

Clement of Alexandria (c150-215)
Second head of Catechetical School at Alexandria
"[Clement and Origen were] men eminent for their information in every department of literature and science."-- Socrates Scholasticus c. 380
"Clement, a presbyter of Alexandria, in my judgment the most learned of men…[He has produced] notable volumes full of learning and eloquence using both Scripture and secular literature." -- St. Jerome
"Perhaps nothing in the whole range of early patristic literature is more stimulating to the modern reader than (Clement's) great trilogy of graduated instruction in the Christian life." –H.B. Swete
"[Clement was] the first systematic teacher of Christian doctrine, the formal champion of liberal culture in the Church." –J. Patrick
"I do not know where we shall look for a purer or truer man than this Clement of Alexandria... He seems to me to be one of the old Fathers whom we should all have reverenced most as a teacher, and loved most as a friend." –Frederick Denison Maurice
"There are very few of the Christian fathers whose fundamental conceptions are better suited to correct the narrowness, the rigidity and the formalism of Latin theology. It is his lofty and wholesome doctrine that man is made in the image of God; that man's will is free; that he is redeemed from sin by a divine education and a corrective discipline; that fear and punishment are but remedial instruments in man's training; that Justice is but another aspect of perfect Love; that the physical world is good and not evil; that Christ is a Living not a Dead Christ; that all mankind from one great brotherhood in him; that salvation is an ethical process, not an external reward; that the atonement was not the pacification of wrath, but the revelation of God's eternal mercy. That judgment is a continuous process, not a single sentence; that God works all things up to what is better; that souls may be purified beyond the grave." –F.W. Farrar commenting on Clement of Alexandria
Titus Flavius Clemens
Like Pantaenus before him, Clement was a convert to the Christian faith—most likely from Athens. He was highly educated and well trained in classical philosophy. Though we know little of his conversion, it is apparent that he possessed a great spiritual hunger. After his conversion, he traveled to Southern Italy, Syria, and Palestine, seeking instruction from the most respected Christian teachers of his day. At last, he reached Alexandria where Pantaenus' lectures attracted him to the extent that he settled there and made the city his second home.
Clement first assisted and then succeeded Pantaenus in the direction of the school, about A.D. 190. Among his prolific writings are the "Exhortation," "The Tutor," and the "Miscellanies," a trilogy representing a graduated initiation into the Christian life (belief, discipline, knowledge) and considered by many to be his finest work. Clement worked to combine the best of pagan Greek and Roman learning & science with the Christian faith. He saw it his task to demonstrate to pagans that Christianity was intellectually respectable and philosophically rigorous, and to Christians that Christianity was not only for the uneducated, but that Christians must no longer "fear philosophy as children fear a scarecrow." He was willing to go far in his affection for the Greek philosophers as to say that "the Law is for the Jew what philosophy is for the Greek, a schoolmaster to bring them to Christ." For Clement, the Greek philosophers understood the truth revealed in God's creation. God had planted seeds of the Truth in all rational creatures, though these seeds alone were not sufficient to bring them to divine truth. Clement believed the truth was to be found in Scripture, but sometimes it was hidden, and could only be discovered through allegorical interpretation. He did insist, however, that the Scriptures had a literal, historical sense--a primary meaning--that had to be respected. Nevertheless, allegorical reading could find further, "spiritual" meanings containing universal and eternal truths.
Persecution fell upon Egypt in the year 202. The catechumens were pursued with special intent of law, and Clement fled to Cappadocia. There, he took charge of a local church led by his friend and former pupil, Bishop Alexander, as Alexander was imprisoned for Christ's sake. In this time, Clement faithfully led the church, and drew in new converts. Later, Alexander was to say of him, "I am sending this, my dear brethren, by the hand of the blessed elder Clement, a man whose quality has been amply proved. You have heard of him already and will come to know him better. His presence here, through the providential direction of the Master, strengthened and spread the church of the Lord."
Clement was in Jerusalem in 211. He never returned to Alexandria, but died about 220.
Some Quotes:
Concerning the souls of men and the restitution of all things, Clement had this to say:
"And how is He Saviour and Lord, if not the Saviour and Lord of all? But He is the Saviour of those who have believed, because of their wishing to know; and the Lord of those who have not believed, till, being enabled to confess him, they obtain the peculiar and appropriate boon which comes by Him.
"..all things are arranged with a view to the salvation of the universe by the Lord of the universe, both generally and particularly. It is then the function of the righteousness of salvation to improve everything as far as practicable. For even minor matters are arranged with a view to the salvation of that which is better, and for an abode suitable for people's character. Now everything that is virtuous changes for the better; having as the proper cause of change the free choice of knowledge, which the soul has in its own power. But necessary corrections, through the goodness of the great overseeing Judge, both by the attendant angels, and by various acts of anticipative judgment, and by the perfect judgment, compel egregious sinners to repent." --Clement of Alexandria, Stromata, Book 7, Chapter 2, ANF, Vol 2
"1 John 2:2. 'And not only for our sins,'--that is for those of the faithful, - is the Lord the propitiator, does he say, "but also for the whole world." He, indeed, saves all; but some [He saves], converting them by punishments; others, however, who follow voluntarily [He saves] with dignity of honour; so "that every knee should bow to Him, of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth;" that is, angels, men, and souls that before His advent have departed from this temporal life. " --Clement of Alexandria, Commentary on 1 John 2.2, Fragments from the Latin Translation of Cassiodorus, ANF, Vol 2
--Mercy Aiken

text: Study: Video games assisting patients during stroke recovery Science 16 May 11 by Olivia Solon CyberGlove Computer games could help speed up and improve a patient's recovery from paralysis after a stroke, according to new research published in the Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation.Stroke victims often find it hard to recover hand and arm movement, with 80-90 percent of sufferers still having problems six months later. A team of US physicians have used computer games and robotic training aids to improve function of both hand and arm movements simultaneously.Twelve subjects -- 8 male and 4 female, who had experienced a stroke at least six months previously -- were required to train two to three hours every day for eight days. Games such as Plasma Pong and Hammer Task were used to improve hand-arm coordination. Meanwhile Hummingbird Hunt and Virtual Piano were used to improve grip and individual finger motion. Following the eight days, all of the patients showed improvements in movement and control of their arm and hand.The patients wore a force-reflecting exoskeleton (CyberGrasp) that fits over special robotic gloves (CyberGlove) in order to assist and measure the hand movements. The games were adapted so that they could be controlled with the glove using different hand movements as opposed to a computer mouse.Following the eight days, all of the patients showed improvements in movement and control of their arm and hand. The subjects all had better stability, greater smoothness of movement and improved control over their fingers. There were no such significant improvements in the arms of game players in a control group.Dr Alma Merians said, "Patients who played these games showed an average improvement in their standard clinical scores of 20-22 percent over the eight days. These results show that computer games could be an important tool in the recovery of paralysed limbs after stroke."The authors noted that the intense training regime would have made the improvements more noticeable. In conventional robot-assisted raining, subjects average more than 500 repetitions of movements per day. However, subjects in this study averaged more than 2,200 repetitions during each two-to-three hour training session. The gaming simulations helped to ensure that subjects focused on the task at hand. The authors mention previous studies where it has been shown that the learning of motor task can be more effective when focused on externally rather than internally-based directions. The games ensured that subjects focused on certain action goals, or the effect of their movements, rather than on the movements themselves.The study did not clarify whether it was the complexity of the simulations of the consistent training that was responsible for the movements.The study authors conclude: "We believe that the magnitude of the changes and the stability of the patient's function prior to training, along with maintenance of several aspects of the gains demonstrated at retention make a compelling argument that this approach to training warrants continued study."You can download the full study from the online journal. Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments The HandTutor, ArmTutor and LegTutor systems incorporate the concept of virtual functional tasks. These tasks allow the patient to be given intensive active exercise practice and targeted movement feedback on the position of one, two or more joints. The HandTutor, LegTutor and 3DT Tutor provide both feedback on the patients movement ability and instructions on how to move the joint in association with another joint. This allows the patient to practice isolated and combined movements of the hip and knee and ankle when they work with the LegTutor and 3DTTutor. When the patient works with the HandTutor and ArmTutor system they practice isolated and combined movements of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and fingers. This allows the patient to do intensive task practice that will teach them how to do coordinated movements of two or more joints. Motor learning that teaches the patient how to move more than two joints in a coordinated pattern will improve functional movement ability and the performance of the everyday tasks e.g. walking and reaching.

A long-standing plan to add an arts wing to Lincoln Elementary in Marrero was revived by the Jefferson Parish School Board on Tuesday after lying dormant for a year. The plan narrowly passed in a 5-4 vote.
The arts wing idea has been a pet project of School Board member Cedric Floyd since 2008.
When the current board took office in 2010, the project was revived, then tabled for several reasons; most recently, new board members said there was not enough money to fund an extra wing. The school was badly damaged during Hurricane Katrina and has since been rebuilt, but without the arts building. The construction cost the school district $16.4 million; the extra wing would have raised the price to about $18 million.
On Tuesday, members Mike Delesdernier, Larry Dale, Mark Jacobs and Pat Tovrea voted against funding the wing, which will cost the system an estimated $2.1 million. Members Etta Licciardi, Mark Morgan, Sandy Denapolis-Bosarge, Ray St. Pierre and Cedric Floyd supported the project. The board will still have to vote on a building plan once school officials bid out the project again.

Deadline Approaching for Prairie Chicken & Fall Turkey Hunts
Hunters seeking to apply for the 2004 Minnesota prairie chicken season or the fall turkey hunt are reminded that they need to do so by July 30 at any one of 1,800 Electronic Licensing System (ELS) vendor locations statewide.
The five-day prairie chicken season, which will begin on Oct. 23, is open to Minnesota residents only. Hunters who apply for one of 100 available permits will be charged a $4 application fee. They may apply individually or in groups up to four hunters. Prairie chicken licenses cost $20.
The hunt will be held in seven prairie chicken quota areas in west-central Minnesota, which are located between Crookston and Breckenridge. Up to 20 percent of the permits in each area will be issued to landowners or tenants of 40 acres or more of prairie or grassland property within the permit area for which they applied. The season bag limit is two prairie chickens per hunter.
Fall Turkey Season:
Applications for this year's fall turkey hunt are also being accepted at ELS vendors across Minnesota. Fall turkey hunters may apply for one of 4,380 permits to hunt in one of 24 permit areas from Oct. 13-17 or Oct. 20-24. This is a 13 percent increase in available permits compared with 2003.
Beginning in this year, a license issued under the landowner/ tenant special drawing is restricted to land owned or leased by the holder of the license. The requirement that the land must be agricultural or grazing has been dropped.
The fall turkey hunt application fee is $3. The license is $18 for residents and $73 for nonresidents. A $5 stamp validation is also required for turkey hunters 18 years of age or older.
Application worksheets and maps of permit areas for both hunts are available on the DNR Web site at www.dnr.state.mn.us. Successful applicants for both hunts will be notified by mail at the end of August and must purchase their permit at an ELS vendor.

In Outlook 2007 Power Shortcuts, author David Diskin shares an assortment of time-saving tips and tricks to maximize efficiency and productivity in Outlook 2007. The course covers tips for organizing and sending email, working with tasks, scheduling appointments, and maintaining contact lists. Also included are tutorials on email etiquette, Outlook customization, and much more. A quick reference guide to shortcut keys accompanies the course.
It comes a time to do a little spring cleaning, and for Outlook that means getting rid of our old deleted messages. Remember that when you press Delete, it only moves it to the Deleted Items folder. By getting rid of old messages, we can reduce the amount of space Outlook consumes, speed up our searches, and keep our network administrators happy. Outlook gives us a few ways to do this. If you simply want to empty the trash, that is to delete everything in the Deleted Items folder, point to Deleted Items, right-click and choose Empty Deleted Items. This will remove everything in your Deleted Items. But since clearing out the entire Deleted Items folder is a little extreme for most of us, a more selective approach might be better.
A quick method is to use the mailbox cleanup tools. While viewing your Inbox, pull down the Tools menu and choose Mailbox Cleanup. From here, I can review messages that are old or large based on the criteria that I specify. I'm going to choose to show messages that are older than 60 days. When I click Find, Outlook searches my entire mailbox or any messages that are older than 60 days. Note that this also includes messages in my sent items and other folders. However, I may want to reduce this and show only those in deleted items.
So I'll click Browse, uncheck my Mailbox select, Deleted Items instead, and then hit OK to continue the search. Find Now will start that search over. Now I'm seeing just the messages that are in my Deleted Items that are older than 60 days. To delete these permanently, I can click in the area, hit Ctrl+A to select all, and then press Delete on my keyboard. If I answer Yes, these messages are permanently deleted. Don't forget that we often send emails with large attachments and those take up space as well.
From time to time, you may want to review your sent items and consider deleting some of those larger emails too. Remember that these deletes are likely permanent. You should consult with your IT department before doing something you might regret. Next, let's check out a way to free up some time by putting Outlook to work for us.

Ok, if you guys tell me there is no flying kitten show as well as all these other wonderful events, I will be crushed!!!!
Oooh!! Is it a buffet???
"On Writing" was the first Stephen King book I ever read; the first of many. I'm a great believer in encouraging others to write if they enjoy it. For me, nothing can quite match the thrill or rush of putting a story on paper (or on the computer). I have a mathematical brain and like things to make logical sense, but writing lets me break away from that restrictive perspective and just write what the creative part of my brain dictates.
Welcome to the board! I'm sure these crazy people here (who are also the most wonderful people on earth!) aren't helping your cluelessness, but know that you will get the hang of it eventually. It just takes a bit of practice!
(And there are no secret levels or handshakes but I do recommend sending GNTLGNT cookies!)

Second Oxnard apartment fire displaces 79
An apartment fire in Oxnard early Sunday morning forced 79 people from their homes.
The fire, which was in the 400 block of Cuesta del Mar Drive, was caused by an overloaded extension cord, said Darwin Base, battalion chief for the Oxnard Fire Department. Because the fire was near the apartment building's utilities, it knocked out electricity and gas, so families had no power or heat, Base said.
The department responded to the fire at 1:27 a.m., Base said. The Ventura County Fire Department also responded, he said.
No people were injured in the fire, which caused $80,000 damage to the building and $12,000 to its contents, Base said.
Residents were able to go to a Red Cross shelter that was set up at the Performing Arts Center after another fire in Oxnard Saturday night. Fifty people were displaced in that fire, which also did not cause any injuries. Five people were staying at the shelter Sunday morning, Base said.
Utility companies were working to restore power and gas Sunday morning, Base said, but he did not know when the families would be able to return.

Three Law Faculty Members Receive University Merit Awards
The Law Assembly is the foundation of financial support for the USF School of Law. Law Assembly contributions bolster student and alumni services and programs, and help to advance the stature of the law school.
Law Assembly funds support many important projects, such as law clinics, domestic and international summer internships, scholarships, loan repayment assistance, diversity initiatives, symposia, visiting faculty, and moot court competitions. Your participation is an affirmation of the value of a USF School of Law education, and an investment in the law school's future.
Support of the law assembly is now more important than ever. Consider the numbers: The current annual tuition is $35,800 and in the last few years students have graduated with an average debt of $93,000. Students' considerable financial stress is partly alleviated by scholarships made possible by gifts to the Law Assembly.
The School of Law is at an exciting, critical turning point. We are tackling major challenges that will determine our competitiveness in the coming years-challenges that include expansion of the faculty through endowed chairs and offsetting the high cost of legal education by endowing student scholarships. Alumni can have an important impact by contributing to the Law Assembly, the annual fund which enables the School of Law to meet the most pressing needs of the year.
The School of Law's pursuit of academic excellence is supported by a laser-like focus on our mission which, for nearly a century, has been dedicated to training skilled, ethical legal professionals concerned for others. These achievements are in part the result of contributions to the law school from loyal alumni like you. We are determined to maintain the level of dynamic education we provide our students and to drive home our firm belief that the law can be a rewarding profession capable of doing enormous good. With your help we can do just that!

The Old School RuneScape Easter event is the 2007 Easter Event. This guide will walk through how to ace the Old School 2014 Easter event.
You will need the following items: Spade.
Go south of Falador, to the area the clan citadel is in regular RuneScape. There, there are a bunch of kids crying because the rabbits are taking Easter eggs and burying them in the ground. Stand on the mounds (not the holes) and left click the spade in your inventory to dig. You will dig up an egg. Dig up 16 eggs.
Use an egg on a child 15 times, keeping for yourself one of the blue eggs with an orange jagged line on it. This design turns you into a rabbit.
Eat that special egg while standing on the rabbit hole. You will turn into a rabbit and enter the burrow.
Walk northwest into a central room where rabbits are getting instructions. Climb up the shoot. If an egg hits you it passes right through your character so don't worry about that. Walk up the shoot and enter by clicking the machine.
Talk to the Easter bunny and receive your rewards.
You get an Easter basket, rubber chicken, rabbit ears, two noted Easter Egg rares, and an Easter ring, which turns you into an Easter egg.

Chugiak girls soccer downs rival Eagle River
Wolves, Mustangs in action today
Chugiak's Catherine Jorgensen, left, and Eagle River's Shayna Wolery run down a loose ball Chugiak's 1-0 win at The Dome on March 31.
Jessi Beverlin scored the game's lone goal to lift Chugiak girls soccer past crosstown rival Eagle River 1-0 on March 31 at The Dome.
With the win, the Mustangs improved to 3-1 in the Cook Inlet Conference while Eagle River fell to 1-2-1.
Both teams are in action today (Thursday, April 5) at The Dome, with Eagle River taking on Bartlett at 4:40 p.m. and Chugiak playing South at 6:30 p.m.
The Wolverines — last year's Class 4A state champions — will be a good test for Chugiak, head coach Paul Brehmer said.
Beverlin's first-half goal was the result of a misplay by Eagle River keeper Tara Fisher. Coming well out of her net, Fisher didn't get a solid foot on the ball, and it rolled right to Beverlin, who chipped it into the gaping goal.
If the Mustangs didn't score on that play, they would have later in the game as Eagle River allowed Chugiak too many scoring opportunities, Wolves' head coach Lauren Mason said.
"They had more and better chances than we did," she said.
Mason said Eagle River has issues with its attacking shape.
"Our forward runs aren't what they need to be," she said.
With no one to pass to and a majority of the team committed to attacking, Eagle River's midfielders get stripped and the opposing team has too much room to run its offense, Mason said.
"We need to figure that out or change our shape," she said.
Eagle River is sound defensively, Mason said.
"Our defensive shape is good," she said.
Brehmer said the close match was just what he expected, as no one wanted to lose to their rival.
"It was a typical Chugiak, Eagle River game," he said. "It's a good rivalry."
Coach Brehmer said he was pleased to notch another conference win early in the season.
"I was pretty happy with our possession game and the scoring opportunities that we had," he said. "Overall, it was a pretty good game."

Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman rematch confirmed for UFC 168; Rousey vs. Tate is Co-Main Event!
Before Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman stepped in the Octagon on July 6th at UFC 162 the UFC President Dana White said that if Anderson lost there would be an immediate rematch.
Chris Weidman did defeat Silva but until today we were still unsure if the rematch would go down. Silva said he did not want a rematch when asked on the night of his defeat. Dana White and Chris Weidman however, felt that there would be a rematch for sure.
Dana White announced on Saturday's edition of ESPN SportsCenter that Silva has agreed to rematch Weidman at the promotion's huge year-end event in Las Vegas at UFC 168.
Not only will we see Weidman vs. Silva II headline UFC 168 on Dec. 28th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, but also we will see the original headliner between Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate moved to co-main event.
"Ever since the fight got over, I don't know if there's ever been any more hype in UFC history after a fight," said White when announcing the fight. "Everybody's been wondering if there's going to be a rematch. I've been working on it since Thursday.
"Dec. 28 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Anderson Silva will fight Chris Weidman in the rematch. Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate will be the co-main event."
It was looking like this fight might not happen, but now it will and we wonder what has changed?
"What changed is, when Anderson Silva talked after the fight, the guy forgot what it felt like to lose," explained White. "He'd never lost ever in the UFC; broke every record we ever had.
"I've been talking to him for two days. Both guys signed their bout agreement. Anderson Silva is motivated, fired up, and wants his belt back."
Silva certainly seemed to agree, providing SportsCenter with a pre-recorded statement that they aired following White's announcement.
"My fans in UFC and the world and United States I go back to fight Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman," Silva stated. "I back, trust me, I back."

I'm selfishly upset that it's on Dec 28. I turn 21 in January & was hoping for the fight to fall on Super Bowl weekend in Vegas so I could take a badass trip there.
I'm from the east coast and trust me bro, if there's one thing I've learned it's that you don't need a special reason the go to Vegas baby! Just Go! I've been there twice and you will be glad you did. Go single if you can.
This card is going to break records. The hype from 2 crazy bitches in TUF then like the biggest rematch in history. This is huge.
Awesome! Now Weidman knows for how much longer he can prance around with Silva's belt.
This is the first time injurys helped the ufc I looked at upcoming events last week and I didn't c an event worth watching for some time but now we get Henderson vs pettis witch makes cut for me and now this but before I was thinking the ufc was goin thru a dwn time until now we got three or four card to look forward too thanking injuryies
Excellent! Maybe Weidman will get the credit he deserves after he beats him again.. this time by sub.
If he beats him this time he will get credit. I know he beat Anderson and it is not Weidman's fault Anderson was being an idiot holding his hands down. I have seen the fight 4 times. If Weidman can win again he gets all the respect he deserves, he still gets all the credit he deserves for beating Anderson the first time no matter what anyone says, but respect he did not fully earn, he was broken and confused at the end of the first and in the second. I won't call it a lucky shot as it landed but it WAS lucky for Weidman that Anderson was holding his hands down acting like an idiot.
I appreciate you not slamming me with insults for having a difference of opinion. As far as the fight goes I think Weidman may have had an adrenaline dump due to him almost subbing Anderson in round one because I do agree he looked a little off in the second.
wolf tickets… nah jp lol gonna be a great event
Can we get more FW action Swanson vs edgar ricardolamas vs winner mendes/guida hoping mendes add it before 2014
@the natural. Some good match ups.Edgar and Cub would've happened already when Edgar called out Cub, but Cub turned the fight down.
I really feel sorry for Silva fans, I really do. It must be hard for you all to accept that your hero is now dead. I know you are going through the 5 stages of grief still (most of you on here are still in the first stage of denial, lmao), but by the time the rematch happens you will have accepted that Silva's time is over and Weidman's time is here.Weidman will beat on him, grind him down and then strangle Silva by the 4th. Just accept it and you will feel better.
Gargoyle, are you blind or just talking smack because this is the only way you can feel strong. I am an Anderson Silva fan, and I agree he lost and Weidman won, but even knowing the facts and after watching the fight 4 times it was very clear Anderson was an IDIOT and that after the leg lock failed and Anderson got up and started to clown on Weidman that Weidman was a bit discouraged and possibly broken. Why do you think after he yelled at Silva when he won? He did that because he was broken and when he actually won he wasn't thinking clearly still. That was not Weidman's style to yell at Silva. He still deserves the win and IF he wins again then he deserves all the respect in the world. He still gets respect for winning, after all it wasn't like he didn't win, but clearly Silva like he has done in the past is BELIEVE his OWN HYPE and he got cocky and he got KTFO because of it. IF Weidman does the same NOTHING will save him in this rematch. Weidman better think of his first fight as a lucky fight or he will be in for a rude awakening. We all know Silva is not going to clown this fight, at least he better not. That means this will be a different fight because BOTH Weidman AND Silva will come better prepared and Silva will also come a bit older. If it is his time then it is his time Silva is getting old but again lucky punch or skilled well timed punch clearly it only takes one of either to end ANYONES night. Come rematch time we will truly see who is the best, but… If Silva wins Weidman DOES deserve a trilogy fight to put everything to rest once and for all, if he wins then great for Weidman
Hey jdog, I completely respect you and your thoughts about this. To answer your question, yes I am talking major smack about Silva. It's really just my style to get certain people's panties in a bunch. Not meant to be mean spirited at all. But there is an underlining belief I have about these fighters beyond the smack talk. And I feel strong all of the time whether I am smack talking or being humble. Have you ever competed in something and felt that some people need the smack down and others don't?? My trash talking is NOT for everybody, only those that deserve it.
Now as far as the last fight, I've watched it over as well and what I saw was a fight where Weidman dominated the whole thing. I agree Weidman got pissed at Silva and let that out. Silva's tactic of getting him mad worked to a point but Weidman used it to KO Silva because Silva had nothing else. You need to remember that Weidman had not fought in a year and had ring rust. He definitely look a bit sluggish in that 2nd, but he kept his balance and his tactics. That is what beat a Silva who had nothing for him in the 2nd but clowning. Weidman is NOW THE CHAMPION and he will be stronger mentally and definitely no ring rust. He will be twice as good as he is now and Silva doesn't have that ability to improve. Don't you get it yet? He is on his way down NOT up. Where Weidman is on his way up skills wise. I respect your opinions though.
Well, that's your opinion that Silva is on his way down. We believe he's still at the top and can only go further up. Did u see Weidmans combo of punches b4 he got silva with that "lucky left" …LOL… That combo was absolutely horrendous, the worst the sport has ever seen…LOL. The rematch wont b that pleasant for yo boy. He's gonna get a new face make-over!
@GAYgoyle. And when Silva knocks his ass out, will you crawl your ass back in your hole again, Just like you did when Vitor KTFO Rockhold?
@KUNT – I see you ASSume alot of things. That's Cool. I'll make a wager with you for the rematch. If Silva wins, I will leave bjpenn.com forever, BUT if Weidman wins again then YOU will leave this site forever, NO NEW IDENTITY! I know you are still in the denial stage of grief over Silva's destruction and I feel as if I am taking advantage of you, but the offer will be good up until the beginning of the fight in order for you to get through the other stages of grief. BUT if you got balls now then just go ahead and accept. What say you?
What is this f*ckin pro wrestling, gargoyle leave your circus antics out of this site, @KIDD the best way to handle attention seekers like gaygoyle is to ignore them, that's why when her comments on mma fail to get a reaction she starts spewing her political bullsh*t. If she can't recognise what really happened in the Weidman v Silva fight then she really doesn't understand a fight does she. Silva clowned an opponent he thought had no business being in there with him, got too cocky and wore a hook on his chin it's as simple as that, Silva lost the fight as much as Weidman won it, well see come December.
@Jenkins.We'll all be rid of this tool bag soon.
@KUNT…you know I thought this over and realized that I was being too mean and harsh with you on this wager. I realized that when Silva loses, your life would be hollow and you would be in too much pain by NOT BEING ABLE to post your drivel on bjpenn.com. So I have a new wager for you. If Silva wins, I will leave forever and not come back, no new identity. But when Weidman wins, you can stay BUT YOU NEED TO POST that I was right! Is that too mean?
@Dan…first I LOVE WRESTLING and you know you really showed me by insinuating I am a girly. That really hurt!!! I'm sure there is some kind of liberal compensation I could get for not being able to work because you called me a girl. Must be a liberal syndrome!! Truth is you are a weak minded, feel sorry for myself cuz I don't make enough money. Then get some courage and start your own company!! Yah I thought so, too scared aren't you.
You and every other Silva zombie spewed the same bs when Frankie beat BJ the first time. Silva, like BJ, is on his way DOWN, not UP and if you can't see that then you don't know anything. Yes, we will see in December Weidman choke out Silva.
@Gaygoyle talk about nut huggers everytime a wrestler gets a big fights you become the wrestlers PR manage, defense attorney and private cum rag. All this talk about being liberal is ridiculous to align yourself with a group or a political view leads me to believe you really don't pay attention to world issues and say your this or that to seem smart. If not that then you are a sheep and not an individual just because you have a similar view does not make you the same if you have different intentions.
And BJ Vs Edgar and Silva Vs Weidman are incomparable. Frankie Hung with BJ for 5 round with a style he couldn't quite handle like he had to contenders before. I won't say Weidman got lucky because you act like Anderson was you kinda deserve to get your chin checked. But do you really think a rematch is going to end the same way like penn vs Edgar.
@GAYgoyle. I thought you'd never ask.I accept.I'm glad we have some regulars on here to witness it.
I am on here somewhat regular and I am a witness. I will love to see kidkunt leave this sight forever when silva gets smashed again. I would like to see douche jenkins gone too, he is one of the biggest silva nutlickers on here, there is nothing worse than that. I would like to thank you g wrestling for getting rid of these tools, but we both know they will just change their name and continue licking Brazilian balls on this sight.
Look out its Brandon, the special little boy, take your retarded comments and get back under your rock worm, I didn't make no bet stupid so your stuck with me forever muhahaha!
@KUNT – Done…Just Remember though NO NEW IDENTITY EITHER. Got It?
@GAYgoyle. no new identity for you either.Savy?
@KUNT..Agreed. Now you accept no new identity when you lose….Capiche
Gaygoyle won't ever honor the terms.He's just that much of a troll.He should at least go out with some dignity.
It's gonna be interesting to see the difference in both guys.
If Weidman beats him again all the old dogs are gonna have to learn some new tricks. I think the next fight is gonna be more violent than people are giving credit. Weidman did well with people not believing in him and obviously Silva folded under the constant pressure of people really believing he's a super hero. I think Weidman proved a lot in the way he performed,his raw power and that Silvas mental edge can be dull to huge desire. If Weidman wins again but in a different way he'll be the new puzzle to solve and people are gonna have no choice but to recognize new talent and understand the progressive nature of the sport. If you are considered the best the whole sport turns on you and you are the example for new reasoning.
I got silva via tko with 2:43 left in the 3rd. Just curious, are there any Brazilian weidman fans out there? Lol any at all?
Weidman got lucky no if and or butts! Weidman dosent even belong in the UFC !!! He is slow his striking is non existing and his ground game is at best average. He has no cardio and zero power! I rewatched the Munoz fight and u could tell that Munoz took weidman lightly too! Maia sucks and anyone can beat that chump so his win over Maia means ziLch! There should not even be a rematch weidman should just be stripped of his belt and sent to bellator where he would still suck but at least he might actually beat some one! And don't tell me he is undefeated because those fights don't mean anything at all because hall was just beginning Munoz was and is ten times better than weidman but just got caught and silva is so much better than Chris weidman that he could beat him with both arms behind his back and blindfolded! Sorry to burst the weidman bubble but, he is the least talented slowest "fighter" in the UFC. Mark my words weidman will never win another fight unless it's in the wwe! Zero power no skill and horrible person!
Plus that was an early stoppage by a horrible referee! Silva was not even close to being knocked out! Look at his face not even a scratch! Silva was toying with weidman and the ref didn't even know it. Look at how silva was joking grabbing Herbs leg! Come on! Give me a break that weak dude weidman has no power for sure!
Keoni don't give up your dayjob yet….I don't think anyone is going to buy tickets to your 'hilarious' comedyshow.
Let's just be honest here. Weidman was throwing punches at Silva and he wlanded a solid one. Fair and square because it's not his fault that Anderson could feel him fading and got overconfident doing a Matrix impression. The rematch will show a Silva with a serious mindset taking quick care of business without the fancy frills. Weidman will enter 2014 as a former mw champ.
Pssst Dude, Keoni IS NOT joking, he really means what he says!!! Also, when a person is striking, they have the intent to hit someone. Did you read the latest on Silva? Fancy frills are part of the show, sooo they will be on full display!! lmao. Yep Weidman will strangle him next time.
100% I agree with the former champ part for weidman but, that was no solid punch! Silva was toying w him if the ref didn't stop the fight weidman was in BIG trouble !!! Herb saved weidman from a severe beating…
Yes, I am great-full for my job, with this economy I will not be quitting that's for sure!
Um so this may be a little off topic, but after hearing the spider say he didn't want the belt, and Dana saying that he would fight for the belt now, this makes me feel like he WAS in fact told to take a dive, and that is why we saw what we saw, and now have this
"promotion's huge year-end event in Las Vegas at UFC 168″ This all seems a little too convient.
Weidman will be one and done,!
Not even one n done! The first fight was an early stoppage! It shouldn't even count!!! Silva wasnt even hurt! The next fight lets get a good ref who won't stop the fight early! War silva! Silva for eternity!

West Des Moines, Ia. — What does victory smell like? On Friday, the scent was burnt popcorn.
No. 10 Valley beat Dowling Catholic 78-67 despite a distracting 20-minute delay when a popcorn machine sent clouds of smoke pouring into the area outside Valley's gym.
Fire alarms buzzed, and a crowd estimated at 2,700 was evacuated.
MORE: USA TODAY HSS Des Moines
Players were going through layup drills preparing for the second half when the alarms sounded. Valley's players started heading out of the gym when they encountered caramel corn that had turned to something resembling charcoal.
"We looked through the doors, and it was smoky and foggy," said Clint Boffeli, who scored 21 points. "We just had to wait until it was over."
The Tigers (12-3) handled the break without stress. The players went to the locker room and waited for the fire marshal to let them back onto the court.
"We were all hanging out," Valley guard Peter Nixon said. "We were all smiling and joking."
MORE: Duke commit hits 17 3-pointers in a game
Valley returned and scored 45 points in a second-half shooting display that was — well, smoking by any standards.
Peter Jok poured in 25 points after halftime and finished the night with 37 in the CIML Western Division game.
In perhaps the biggest game for the teams all season, a crowd that paid $7,000 in admission fees was ushered out of the stands.
A TV crew featuring Larry Morgan and Wade Lookingbill paused their tape-delayed broadcast while the gym was cleared. Two radio stations and a newspaper reporter also interrupted their duties.
In the school hallways, fans lingered or stepped outside in an orderly, if slow fashion.
"By law, you have to have evacuate everyone," Valley activities director Brad Rose said. "As soon as we could let everyone back in, we did."
Most of the fans returned to their seats.
The popcorn meltdown wasn't a first for Valley.
In 1992, a girls' game was derailed by an overheated machine.
In 1993, a boys' game suffered the same fate. Both games resumed and were completed.
Nixon said the alarms had been tested at times during practice, so the noise was familiar to the players.
At first, they thought it might have been another test, he said.
Dowling (11-4) also adjourned for the smoke break.
The team outscored Valley 24-22 in the fourth quarter. Dowling made five 3-pointers in the final period. Jack Green sank four of them.
Green finished the game with 15 points, all on 3-pointers. Jon Wisnieski led Dowling with 17 points. Peter Odia added 16.
Jok scored 12 points in the third quarter. He made three 3-pointers during that span, including a four-point play when he was fouled.
The Iowa basketball recruit made all nine of his free-throw attempts in the game.
Valley made 13 free throws in the fourth quarter.
Boffeli scored eight of his points in the final period. Jok had 13, including all eight of his free-throw tries.
"We really came together as a team," Nixon said. "When we got to the free-throw line, we made it count."
Valley sank 12 3-point baskets in the game. Jok made six, Boffeli three and Luke Umble three.
Dowling also had a hot hand when it came to 3-pointers. The team made eight of them.
Umble finished with 11 points.
Thanks to Prep Rally for the heads up.
