Earth just experienced hottest June ever recorded
Writes Brian Kahn at Climate Central: "The world just experienced its hottest June on record. The heat was driven in large by part by the hottest ocean temperatures since recordkeeping began more than 130 years ago. That makes this the third-warmest start to the year." I'm sure it's nothing.
When looking at land areas only, this was the 7th-hottest June. Temperatures averaged over land were 1.7°F above average.
It's the ocean surface temperatures that put the month over the top. Temperatures were 1.2°F above average. That's a smaller number than the 1.7°F land averages, but oceans tend to lag behind air temperatures. And despite being a smaller number, oceans cover 70 percent of the planet, which tend to give them more weight on global temperatures.

Scientific message in a bottle
In 1959, geologist Paul Walker put this note into a bottle and left it buried inside a pile of rocks in a remote part of the Arctic. More than just a "GEOLOGY WUZ HERE" sort of message, though, the note requested that whoever found it measure the distance between the cairn that contained the bottle and a nearby glacier and send the measurement to him. The goal: To document whether the glacier was advancing or retreating.
A group of scientists discovered the message this summer and followed its instructions. What they found is probably unsurprising to anybody who has been paying attention to the state of Arctic ice over the last couple decades. In 1959, the cairn and the glacier were 168.3 feet apart. Today, there is 333 feet between them.
Phone app helps visualize sea level rise
Looking Glass is a prototype phone application that allows you to see the future of sea level rise right in front of your face. There have been some other programs aimed at visualizing sea level rise recently — Drown Your Town, which adds rising water levels to Google Earth, is the most famous example. Looking Glass is a little bit different in that it moves the sea level rise to a first-person point of view. So you can drown not just the town, but your living room, or the people standing directly in front of you.
Right now, Looking Glass is a prototype that only works for the town of Wickford, Rhode Island. But it's a cool concept that could be expanded to a larger number of cities, later on. The goal, says creator Eli Kintisch is to make the invisible visible — to take things that we can only read about in dry scientific papers and show us what they'd really be like to live with.
'Rising Seas,' long-form radio doc on climate change by Alex Chadwick and 'BURN: An Energy Journal'
[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/116211156" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]
My friend, former NPR colleague, and longtime journalism mentor Alex Chadwick has an incredible new radio documenting hitting the public radio airwaves this week. We're sharing it here on Boing Boing before it hits the radio-waves. I asked Alex to tell us a little about 'Rising Seas.' He explains:
The Rising Seas project grew out of an encounter at an MIT energy seminar almost a year ago. I met an Americanized Brit, Dr. Len Berry, from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. He's been speaking forcefully and clearly about the threat that rising seas present. At the end of his talk, I asked if Miami is a viable city. He smiled and answered, 'well, it is right now'.
And then I asked about the end of the century. He smiled again, but said nothing.
Climate change and the point of no return
Eric Holthaus reports on the aftermath of last week's climate change report, which found that anthropogenic causes are almost certainly behind global warming.
Without jumping up and down on the desks of their computer terminals, this forum of scientists has done about as much as they can do. With this report, they have proven humankind's impact on the climate, and confidently projected dire consequences should world governments fail to act immediately.
An interesting way of explaining scientific certainty and climate change
What's climate change ruining today?
You can go wading in the lake at the North Pole
Last week, Dean told you about the lake at the North Pole, a pool of melted ice captured on camera by the North Pole Environmental Observatory webcams.
At Climate Central, Andrew Freedman provides some really fascinating context that illustrates the changing nature of, well, nature ... and draws a big, heavy underline on how difficult it can be to make assumptions about what is and what isn't an effect of climate change. Arctic sea ice is melting in concert with rising global average temperatures, but (contrary to the knee-jerk assumption I made about this story) the lake at the North Pole may or may not have anything to do with that. In fact, little pools have been forming at the North Pole in summer for as long as we've been paying attention. They don't actually represent the total melting of ice, but rather a layer of slushy water that forms on top of solidly frozen ice — usually, you could wade out through them and never get more than waist-deep.
What's more, the picture above wasn't taken at the North Pole. That's because the North Pole Elemental Observatory — which sits on mobile ice — has moved far from the actual North Pole since its launch. So, there probably is a lake (more of a pond, really) at the North Pole, but it might not be caused by climate change. While this lake, which isn't at the North Pole, could well be part of the melting sea ice that climate change does cause. But it also might not, because what happens as a result of climate change is always layered on top of stuff that just happens. In order to be able to tell the difference, you have to do a lot of scientific analysis — much more than you can get from one picture.

American Forces Press Service
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla., July 1, 2005 The PGA Tour and its network of Tournament Players Clubs have teamed up to help raise awareness for "America Supports You," a nationwide Defense Department program that recognizes citizens' support for military men and women and communicates that support to members of the armed forces at home and abroad.
President Bush urged Americans to visit the America Supports You Web site in his nationally televised June 28 address on Iraq, as well as to find a way to thank the nation's men and women in uniform on the upcoming July Fourth holiday.
From now through September, each of the 24 tournament players clubs across the country will host fund-raising activities, ranging from tournaments and outings to auctions, officials said. Funds raised by PGA Tour players as well as TPC members, guests and employees will be dispersed equally to three beneficiaries:
Allison Barber, deputy assistant secretary of defense for internal communications and community outreach, thanked all involved for joining the America Supports You team. "We are very grateful to the PGA Tour, TPCs and PGA Tour players for undertaking this initiative and for their longstanding support of our military men and women," she said. "The single most important factor in boosting the morale of our troops is letting them know that the people back home support and appreciate their efforts. This program will go a long way toward achieving that goal."

Dr. Joshua Kreithen is one of the leading Sarasota breast augmentation specialists. Over the years, he has helped numerous women enhance both their physical appearance and psychological well-being through breast augmentation surgery. In order to deliver the best possible aesthetic results, Dr. Kreithen carefully customizes each breast implants procedure. Please read on to learn more about breast augmentation and Dr. Kreithen's treatment approach.
The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate. Poor healing of the skin is most likely to affect smokers, so smokers must quit at least one month prior to surgery and refrain from smoking at least one month after the surgery.
Procedure:Enhance the size of breasts using inflatable implants filled with saline or silicone.
Length: 1 to 2 hours.
Anesthesia: Local with sedation, or general.
In/Outpatient: Usually outpatient.
Side Effects: Temporary soreness, swelling, change in nipple sensation, bruising. Breast sensitive to stimulation for a few weeks.
Risks: Lack of implant permanence -- surgical removal or replacement of the implants may be required to treat problems, including: deflation; the formation of scar tissue around the implant (capsular contracture), which may cause the breast to feel tight or hard; bleeding or infection. Increase or decrease in sensitivity of nipples or breast skin, occasionally permanent. Mammography requires a special technique.
Recovery: Back to work: a few days. Physical contact with breasts: 3 to 4 weeks. Fading of scars: several months to a year or more.
Duration of Results: Variable. Implants may require removal or replacement.
A breast implant is a silicone shell filled with either silicone gel or a salt-water solution known as saline.
In 2006 the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that new gel-filled implants are safe and are available to women over the age of 22.
Breast augmentation is relatively straightforward. But as with any operation, there are risks associated with surgery and specific complications associated with this procedure.
The most common problem, capsular contracture, occurs if the scar or capsule around the implant begins to tighten. This squeezing of the soft implant can cause the breast to feel hard. Capsular contracture can be treated in several ways, and sometimes requires either removal or "scoring" of the scar tissue, or perhaps removal or replacement of the implant.
As with any surgical procedure, excessive bleeding following the operation may cause some swelling and pain. If excessive bleeding continues, another operation may be needed to control the bleeding and remove the accumulated blood.
A small percentage of women develop an infection around an implant. This may occur at any time, but is most often seen within a week after surgery. In some cases, the implant may need to be removed for several months until the infection clears. A new implant can then be inserted.
Most women have a natural breast asymmetry. Usually one breast is larger than the other, and nipples may differ in size or be in different positions on the breast. Of course the goal with breast enhancement is perfection, but placing implants can exaggerate your natural asymmetry.
Some women report that their nipples become oversensitive, undersensitive, or even numb. You may also notice small patches of numbness near your incisions. These symptoms usually disappear within time, but may be permanent in some patients.
There is no evidence that breast implants will affect fertility, pregnancy, or your ability to nurse. If, however, you have nursed a baby within the year before augmentation, you may produce milk for a few days after surgery. This may cause some discomfort, but can be treated with medication.
Occasionally, breast implants may break or leak. Rupture can occur as a result of injury or even from the normal compression and movement of your breast and implant, causing the man-made shell to leak. If a saline-filled implant breaks, the implant will deflate in a few hours and the body will harmlessly absorb the salt water.
If a break occurs in a gel-filled implant, however, one of two results may occur. If the shell breaks, yet the scar capsule around the implant does not, you may not detect any change. If the scar also breaks or tears, especially following extreme pressure, silicone gel may move into surrounding tissue. The gel may collect in the breast and cause a new scar to form around it, or it may migrate to another area of the body. There may be a change in the shape or firmness of the breast. Both types of breaks may require a second operation and replacement of the leaking implant. In some cases, it may not be possible to remove all of the silicone gel in the breast tissue if a rupture occurs.
A few women with breast implants have reported symptoms similar to diseases of the immune system, such as scleroderma and other arthritis-like conditions. These symptoms may include joint pain or swelling, fever, fatigue, or breast pain. Research has found no clear link between silicone breast implants and the symptoms of what doctors refer to as "connective-tissue disorders," although the FDA has requested further study.
While there is no evidence that breast implants cause breast cancer, they may change the way mammography is done to detect cancer. When you request a routine mammogram, be sure to go to a radiology center where technicians are experienced in the special techniques required to get a reliable x-ray of a breast containing an implant. Additional views will be required. Ultrasound examinations may be of benefit in some women with implants to detect breast lumps or to evaluate the implant.
While the vast majority of patients do not experience these complications, Dr. Kreithen will discuss each of them in depth to make sure you understand the risks and consequences of breast augmentation.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Kreithen will evaluate your health and explain which surgical techniques are most appropriate for you, based on the condition of your breasts and skin tone. If your breasts are sagging, he may recommend that you also pursue a breast lift in Sarasota.
Be sure to discuss your expectations. Dr. Kreithen will describe your alternatives and the risks and limitations of each. He will also give you a copy of the manufacturer's insert that comes with the implant he will use -- just so you are fully informed about it. And, be sure to state if you smoke, or if you're taking any medications, herbals, vitamins, or other drugs.
Because most insurance companies do not consider breast augmentation to be medically necessary, carriers generally do not cover the cost of this procedure.
Dr. Kreithen will discuss the specifics of the procedure with you, as well as the benefits and risks in depth.
At the completion of your consultation, you will meet with our patient coordinator. You will be given an estimate of the cost of your procedure and have the option to schedule your procedure if you so choose. You are also encouraged to bring your spouse, significant other, family member, or a friend to your consultation. Dr. Kreithen realizes the importance of your decision and will be happy to meet with you a second time to discuss the surgery.
Dr. Kreithen will give you instructions to prepare you for surgery, including guidelines on eating and drinking, smoking, and taking or avoiding certain vitamins and medications.
While making preparations, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery and to help you out for a few days, if needed.
A breast augmentation will most likely be performed at our new state-of-the-art Holcomb – Kreithen Plastic Surgery Medical Center operating room. It's usually done on an outpatient basis. Complex procedures may require a short inpatient stay.
Breast augmentation is usually performed with a general anesthesia, so you'll sleep through the entire operation. Some of our Sarasota breast augmentation patients prefer local anesthesia combined with a sedative to make them drowsy; they will be relaxed but awake during the procedure and may feel some discomfort.
The method of inserting and positioning your implant will depend on your anatomy and your preferences. The incision can be made either in the crease where the breast meets the chest, around the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), or in the armpit. Every effort will be made to assure that the incision is placed so resulting scars will be as inconspicuous as possible.
Working through the incision, Dr. Kreithen will lift your breast tissue and skin to create a pocket, usually underneath your chest wall muscle (the pectoral muscle). The implants are then centered beneath your nipples. This placement may also interfere less with breast examination by mammogram than if the implant is placed directly behind the breast tissue. Placement behind the muscle however, may be more painful for a few days after surgery than placement directly under the breast tissue.
The surgery usually takes one to two hours to complete. Stitches are used to close the incisions, which may also be taped for greater support. A gauze bandage may be applied over your breasts to help with healing. After your surgery, you should wear an appropriately sized sports bra that closes in the front.
You're likely to feel tired and sore for a few days following your surgery, but you'll be up and around in 24 to 48 hours. Most of your discomfort can be controlled by medication.
Within the first week, the gauze dressings will be removed. You should wear your sports bra as much as possible for six weeks. You may also experience a burning sensation in your nipples for about two weeks, but this will subside as bruising fades. Swelling in your breasts may take three to five weeks to disappear.
Most of our breast augmentation patients are able to return to work within a few days, depending on the level of activity required for the job. It is not safe to drive a car within 24 hours of taking pain medication, as reflexes and alertness may be altered.
You should wait six weeks before strenuous activity or exercises, and not lift more than 10 pounds in each arm. Walking and other normal activities can resume when you feel comfortable. Your breasts will probably be sensitive to direct stimulation for two to three weeks, so you should avoid much physical contact. After that, breast contact is fine once your breasts are no longer sore, usually four to six weeks after surgery.
Your scars will be firm and pink for at least six weeks. Then they may remain the same size for several months, or even appear to widen. After several months, your scars will begin to fade, although they will never disappear completely.
Routine mammograms should be continued after breast augmentation for women who are in the appropriate age group, although the mammographic technician should use a special technique to assure that you get a reliable reading, as discussed earlier.
For most of breast augmentation patients, the result of breast augmentation is satisfying, even exhilarating, as they learn to appreciate their fuller appearance.
Regular examination and routine mammograms for those in the appropriate age groups at prescribed intervals will help assure that any complications, if they occur, can be detected early and treated.
Your decision to have breast augmentation is a highly personal one that not everyone will understand. The important thing is how you feel about it. If you've met your goals, then your surgery is a success.

Buzz around upcoming Harlem rapper Azealia Banks is not overhyped considering she creates music like the new track "Jumanji" she dropped today. This is why the uber talented fire spitter doesn't need beef on her climb to the top. Produced by Hudson Mohawke and Nick Hook, "Jumanji" is enticing with its blaring horn and African drum sound. Frankly, the beat is bananas, and definitely nod your head worthy. And her riveting flow is speedy, aligning itself perfectly with the instrumentation. When she raps, "Don't make me remove your kufi, I do it because it's my duty," you hear the hunger in her voice, that unrelenting passion and confidence in what she has to say. And we're listening.
"Jumanji" is the first single from her Fantastic mixtape set to be released this summer. Banks' debut album Broke With Expensive Taste has been pushed back for a potential fall release, but in the meantime she tweeted she will drop her LP "1991" within the next month. As Banks slowly but surely gains more attention we hope she steps away from Twitter feuds and sticks to dropping bombs in the studio. Let the music speak for itself. Check out a few of our favorite lines from "Jumanji."
"They want my photo and pictures inside of they candid cameras/flawless, critics and scandals/man handle savage I damge ya/Real b*** all day/Uptown Broadway
"Reefer and cabanas/all my vehicles handsome"
"These b*** and their banter/f*** is up w/they grammar/they never talking money/I can't never understand 'em."
"All of my b**** bougie/designer vagina Gucci/These n**** all kind of groupies/they flying they trying to scoop me."

Rocky road
Rough terrain
Will I make it through?
I hope it doesn't rain
Bags packed, have my gear
Water, bags, everything near
People passing by
They don't even say "hi"
I just look up
and take a look
I keep climbing to the top
Got to make it, cannot stop
Sun is shining, no rain in sight
Just keep going, that is my plight
Birds flying overhead, music to my ears
I look up to see what is near
Soon I will reach the top, what's up there?
Just breathe in the fresh air
I see it just ahead
The mountains, the beauty...
God's journey was my guide
So, I took it and followed it in my mind
The beauty, the wonder full of grace
This must be Heaven's Place.

Jon Jones Open To TUF Coaching Gig, But Not Against Daniel Cormier | UFC NEWS
"I'd be interested in a TUF season in the future, but it'd take the right opponent. As far as Daniel Cormier saying he wants to coach against me, he would want that, wouldn't he? He's relatively unknown, I want to do it when the fans are aware of both guys, and when it's spunky and when it raises a lot of viewers. I'm not here to raise his stock."
UFC light-heavyweight champion, Jon Jones, recently sat down with ESPN to conduct an interview.
While fielding questions from the European reporter he touched on the Daniel Cormier topic.
Cormier, the Strikeforce HW Grand Prix champion, has been calling out Jon Jones for months and most recently called for a coaching slot opposite the UFC champ on TUF.
However, Jones does not appear to be interested.

Me Me Me Me Me! It's always about f'ing Me! Selfish bastard.
I can't stand this guys attitude…terrible role model.
I think he would be a crappy coach too.
actually for a self motivated money making entrepreneur hes a great role model.
you cannot get this far in life without making plans to put yourself and your immediate family first.
Why should he give a shit about cormier. its cormiers job to give a shit about it.
cormier is not thinking about jones when hes on about coaching for tuf, hes thinking on how it would benefit him
Who has Cormier defeated? Bigfoot? Please. Strikeforce is MMA DII. Yes, they have fighters that are UFC level fighters (Nick Diaz) and Cormier may be one of them. BUT HE HASN'T PROVEN HIMSELF AGAINST THE BEST. He's calling out Jones BECAUSE of what Jones said: to get his name in people's mouths, to get people to talk about him and increase his popularity. Now I know that concept is so above the intelligence level of many of you who enjoy having Cormier's nutz in your mouths, but it's a fact. Sorry, DC, but, you don't deserve to fight Jones YET. I would rather see a mid-tier UFC heavyweight fight Jones over the soon-to-be-forgotten Strikeforce organization champion fight Jones.
Jon Jones is the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion of the World.
A dont get
Yous all have to understand he didnt start fighting when their was no money in this like silva or belfort he faught to raise money for his family and you all diss him for it? The guys a legend and hes only 25 yeah hes a bit cocky but so are most UFC fighters the only difference is he can back it up.. If Jon faught ten year ago and dominated everyone yous would love him but for the clear fact he has money and talks about money alot yous hate him.. Hes the best light heavyweight ever and hes only 25 the guy will go on to have a better record than silva hes already technically undefeated that he lost to hamill for an illegal elbow which was a joke but my point is just because he likes money doesnt dispute the fact hes the best and will be for a long time… If any 25 year olds earning 200k a fight atleast then its obvious hea gonna be a bit big headed unlike the guys who faught when their was no money in this which is why their so humble but even when he fights hes humble just not to guys who trash talk. Hes the man! P4P Best LHW ever!
A legend?? Lmao! STFU!
Ur best LHW ever almost got his arm ripped off last fight so you can chill with that better then Anderson talk… Get jones nuts out ur mouth
but he didnt did he? and he still won with a fucked up arm!!!!!
all champs almost lose, the differences between losing and winning in most cases is a fine line as on the night it can be anyones fight and anyone can get lucky too
Cuz he knows Cormier would rag doll his lanky azz..
DC would toss this so called champion around like a child. Why does this guy just deny fights left right and centre. Hes well known, more so than anyone else he can fight now, hes just a big chicken who is content with beating people he knows he can win against.
Lol well said. Lets call out a guy who was champion in 2000. Who's next? Chuck liddel? Randy couture? Keep lining em up, add to the list of "past champions" Jones has Beaten. LOL
i hope thats sarcasm
he took championship from shogun who had just taken it from machida who had taken it from rashad.
he beat shogun, beat machida then beat rashad lol
these are not old champions, they were all the champions in the last 2 years and top 5 in the world.
100% the truth.
Jone knows that he will be taken down and controlled by Cormier. And it won't be fun to have that scary man who handled Barnett like a child on top of Bones.
One advice to Cormier, get ripped man and Dana (gay loving) will become interested in you loooooooooool
Jelly of my wrestling bro?
Lol.. come on now Jonathan, u know u don't wanna fight Cormier cause he will BLAST you! DC's wrestling is too much for Jones. Jones will NEVER take DC down and standing.. well we all know what will happen if Jones stands with DC…. Nighty Night Bones…!! Don't be scared homieeeee !!!!
Bones is gunna get tested real soon. Cormier, texiera, and machida all have a good chance of beating him. Not to say he hasn't already been tested but I think Cormier and glover pose a huge threat to him.
If jones fights cormier he will not win. He will try an keep the distance an use leg kicks then get tripped to the mat an eat a thick knee on his way up. I don't think Glover is a realistic shot at beating him but who knows.
Part of me would like to believe he is just hyping a potential match up. The other part of me wants no one to buy his next PPV and see how it might affect his attitude. Great fighter – Not a great talker.
is it me or every time jones opens his mouth he spouts out with some shit that sounds MORE selfish than the time before?? Jon Jones seems to only want to fight the smaller guys, he dont want to move up in weight, he dont want to fight DC he just wants the smaller guys….. he may be dominating the weight class for the time being but i am sure that someone out there will put a stop to it, and i have a feeling it will be here soon!
What about DC calling out a guy in a smaller weight division instead of calling out the champ of his own? There's nothing wrong with what Jones said. DC called him out and he has responded. I'd understand if Jones already started fighting heavyweight but he hasn't as yet nor has he finished clearing out his weight class.
JBJ probably trains at a heavier weight than DC, not to mention DC is alot shorter. He knows that he would have to rely heavily on striking (which is not bad) but the fact that his opponent would be levels ahead of him in wrestling puts him off already. Hes borderline scared and making excuses again. Whats new I ask?
borderline scared? The guy is shaking in his Pyjamas.
what you talking about. Do your research. DC said he is willing to come to 205 but ONLY if it is for jones. So he isn't calling out a smaller division, he would be in that division if he fought jones. Idiot
I've done my research. He has actually been pushing more Jones than JDS a*s*s*h*o*l*e. So STFU!
how is jon jones smaller than him?? please tell me? DC is 5'11 and weighs what around 240 pounds…. jon "justduckem" jones is 6'4 and walks around probably at that weight! so how is DC calling out someone smaller? im not gonna be one of those guys to take something away from jones…. but he is a arrogant asshole and he seems to think that he is gods gift to this earth…. i dont like him, i dont like his style, i dont like his fights, BUT he wins so i guess i cant take that away from him but still i say F.U. JON "JUSTDUCKEM" JONES!
@Someguy I never said Jones was smaller than Cormier. I said he is calling out a guy in a smaller weight division. Jones is smaller than JDS and a lot of the other heavyweights. Those are the guys Cormier is used to fighting. That's all
hes only calling him out cause he truly believes cain gonna win the hw belt. And he will never fight him so thats why hes interested in lhw
david, you're an idgit, dont ever allow yourself to post another comment
@David That actually makes sense. I can see that having something to do with it.
cause dana wants him at light heavy and hes only the size of rashad. daniel comer* is under six foot and shouldnt be at heavyweight. its the same as big country. if he got in shape he could probably be and interesting fight for jones or silva if he makes the weight.
Gusta would be good both young extremely relevant and it's always good to bring an international feel to the show makes complete sense orrrr glover but for the shows saling point gusta would probably be better buuuuttttt who knows
Someone needs to remind this fool he's NOT Anderson Silva and he CAN'T hand pick his opponents… wait a minnute… maybe he can.
I do not like seeing "fans" talk so much s*** about Jones. Jones attitude needs adjusted. A loss on his record would humble him. His ego is off the charts. He is too young a fighter and is absorbing this attention and its all going to his head. *THAT* said, His skill-set is unmatched. Look at the greats in the division. He finished all former champs, minus Forrest (whom would be finished quickly,) and Rashad. He's not going anywhere. And when he DOES lose.. he is going to bounce right back. Because he is that good. I could see him bulking up and being very dominant in the heavyweight division, because he is smart, patient and would have a ton of cardio not found in the HW division right now. You don't have to like him at all.. I know I don't. but don't call yourself a fan, follow MMA and then miss the obvious.
You can see him fighting at HW? He won't even fight a HW who is not even ranked top 5 who is willing to come down to him. Lol @ you and your idiot opinions.
This guy is a cocky SOB…..the more he opens his mouth the more I hate him.what ever happened to accepting all challenges.if ur not worthy enough u don't deserve to fight me?????he can care less about the fans or the UFC and how he portrays himself.very skilled and gifted fighter but a very big headed,hypocritical,selfish person.
This kid is so stupid
Im thinking after glover beats down rampage and one other unfortunate soul he will solve the jones complex, i see why rua didnt want to fight him.
I don't know if glover has quite got the skillz to beat Jones. Might be a long time before another person who fights at 205 can take him. One of the big guys will have to come down or Jones go up I think.
Stupid Bones, be a man and face DC!
wow tuf anderson and jones would be PERFECT!
i hate to say it but i agree with jones. i mean who has Daniel beat? nobody thats important he's trying to build his name witch is good but he does not desurve a crack at jones. & yall sound dumb he wudnt beat jones yea he's an asshole & cocky bt he's still hella good
Daniel beat Josh Barnett and Antonio Silva. His last two opponents are as good as Jon has fought …..not counting Belfort who is a 185 er who on short notice almost took his arm home ….go look it up
yeah, that's right, Josh Barnett…. the guy who was relevant like 6 years ago, that is way more impressive than beating Vitor, Machida, Rashad, Rampage and Shogun in a row in dominant fashion.
oh wait, no it's not
Dude what???? you don't even make sense on this one. DC will smash Jones and he knows it. He has a height and reach advantage on everyone. I am not hating on him I am just saying that DC is a beast and smashed those guys he fought. Bones is getting knocked the fuck out if he fights him. That's why he won't
Oh yeah and for the record Machida, Belfort, and Evans are all potentially 185ers soon. Belfort already but the other two to follow. Rampage was big enough but way past his prime, and shogun was outsized but is a beast so I will give Jones that. Fact is DC would have the weight and size (not height) advantage. Bones knows this so he is not going after DC.
Cormier may not have been in the big league long but no one wants to fight him because he beats the piss out of anyone who steps to him. At 205 he would destroy, Jones knows it, you should too.
Who did Brock Lesnar beat before Randy ? I didn't see Captain America tellin Brock "Your noone i wont fight you "
This dude is fucking pissing me off foreal wtf he is the champ and considered p4p best by some ppl but he dosent want to fight anybody .. its unbelievable right there 3 interresting opponents for Jones that the fans really want to see : Cormier , Sonnen or Silva , HE DECLINES THEM ALL !!!! GTFO JON !!
are serious? sonnen & cormier dont desurve a shot at the title wtf. & silva wont fight him either so i guess he isnt the best either huh
Idiot alert.
I don't think anyone who wants to see him in a competitive matchup wants to see him fight Sonnen. Cormier has been fighting heavyweight in a different organization. How come he isn't calling out the heavyweight champion? Good matchup but we haven't seen DC at light heavyweight and he hasn't established himself by beating contenders there(not that he can't but it hasn't happened). As for Silva, he doesn't want to fight Jones either so that's not the issue. He still has Hendo, Gustaffson, Glover, possibly Davis, and others in the division that he hasn't beaten yet(or rematched if that happens).
Jon Jones just needs to shut up and fight anyone the UFC puts in front of him and stop trying to duck his way around keeping the title.
The only thing Jones could do is those cheap little bitch kicks to your opponents legs because you are to afraid to get close to them and get blasted. DC will smash him…he knows it and that's it
Is that a serious statement? Perhaps you haven't seen his fights in the UFC. Maybe you should go back and watch them. People may not like him but they can't say he's not a great fighter.
I love how Anderson silva took a fight to save a card for the fans and his company to this idiot thinking of himself again
Of course Silva takes a fight with a guy whose idea of striking defense is blocking it with his face.
Seriously this shit is starting to piss me off when did it get ok for this modafukin fighter boxers/mma to decide who they are willing to fight??? A fight between Cormier is a fight that the fans the people that pay your bills would love to see including a fight with silva man not sonnen or anybody else that u kno your going to beat. Need more people like bj who will literally fight anyone anywhere anytime.
i wouldnt like to see him fight cormier, i would like to see him fight the reem
UFC-WWE Dana White-Vince McMahon All the same corporate bull****
I didn't say he was a great fighter. I did say that from the Rampage fight on he started this kicking in the knee crap. It would seem that Rampage, Rashaad, and Belfort all had the punch to KO him and he knows it. That's why he used that kick. He would do it against DC as well as not to get blasted is what I said. What he is not counting on is that DC rag dolled Barnett, and blasted Bigfoot. Jones is getting knocked out if he fights DC…..NOW BELFORT MOVED UP TO FIGHT BECAUSE THE FANS DESERVED TO SEE IT. IT'S BONES TURN……..Won't happen is my bet
Lol! You scared bro?
Lol. Does this guy seriously think we are stupid? He knows Cormier could cut to 205 and would be even more powerful than him at that weight. He tries to cover it up by saying cormier is unknown? ROFL. Cormier is hugely well known, and even affectionately known as the "Black Fedor." This guy would not only coach better than him but throw him around the ring and punch him in the jaw. THAT is why Jones won't coach against him….
Agree with you 100% buddy!
eff this guy! scared as usual…no PPV money from me jon jones, i'm not hear to raise your stocks.
No wait everyone… Jon Jones is gonna tweet something in a month or so after he realizes fans are getting mad saying something like " I should of coached againts Cormier because I wanted to do it for the FANS! " somethin like that, after the fact that a descision was made already. Guaranteed! Something will come up. So trust your boy Jbj cocksuckers! He's got your back!
Jones vs sonnen
"but it'd take the right opponent." – That about sums him up as a person.
Oh no…What is it that I hear? Is that Jon Jones vagina wings flapping again?
DC trying to make Bones money w/o even performing on the big show, c'mon son!
Team Jones vs Team Sonnen!
Jones is bitching out
i would absolutely love to see a Heavyweight leg kick Jones' ankles into Joe Rogans lap..
I agree with Jones. Cormier is a good fighter, but hasn't proven himself in the UFC as a Heavyweight or a Light Heavyweight. Machida vs Jones on TUF would be ideal!
Cormier is a champion a Olympian a tournament champion ko the man who beat fedor destroyed a top ten heavyweight striker on his feet never been taken down undefeated and is calling you out but yet nobody knows him? Give me a break Jon jones your vagina is wearing me out.
No ones willing to fight DC at HW ..DC just go down and start smashing fools at LHW then Jones cant say no.. I loved Jones 2 years ago when he was unknown and smashing everyone but the belt makes some fighters change for the worse ..Uve changed Jones….I like Champs like Junior hes just happy to fight anyone infront of him, U never he him being picky.. he wants to fight the guys that call him out to shut them up …
JJ cocky arrogant full of shit I'm in the ufc now
All hand picked fights not a fan any more he should stop talking ….by the I will never buy Nike product ever AGAIN FUCK YOU JON NO BACK BONE JONES
Yours truly
Aj paduano
Keep crying you hating dorks!
lol jones is a puss! (i)
the fans are well aware of who cormier is! people would watch it! man up and stop being such a little b!tch.
Not here to raise his stock? who the f*** do you think you are, how about if everyone said the same about you, you wouldnt be here! up your own a** mate! I hope you are forced to do exactly what you are told like every other fighter in the UFC and stop acting like you do as you please you arrogant knob!
Excuses + Excuses ➗ Fans = Jon Jones
Having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities.
Wow, wow, wow. Jones is a MTV champion. Wow, wow, wow. Cormier is an actual threat, no need for bones to pretend. Wow, I am in shock, forst Sonnen and now DC, Champion JBJ might be, be heart of a champion he does not have.
Champion = any time, any place, any one. JBJ is transforming the sport into the essence that has ruined many major sports, yes, into a business. A business it is, but only for Zuffa, the champ needs to act like a champ and not like a spoiled brat. JBJ, skills of a lion, attitude of a kitten.
Meow, Jon, Meow…
Anyone else rather see sforce fold and DC to face overeem for a shot at the winner of JDS & Cain
Cormier hasn't earned it in the correct class, i.e he can fuck off
feed bones andersons 3 lhw buddys from his camp.. get it over with.. then make it happen spider vs chicken bones nobody wants to lose but everybody is the baddest
dude has a point about Cormier being a bit unknown to the casual fan , however he doesn't need to be a dick to express his point , id love to see jbj coach against chael i dont think chael has earned a shot but it would be tv gold! i think chael might just be able to get in jbj's head at the very least it would be entertaining to hear what chael would say to him!! still think jbj would smash him though!
haha i called it!
Have him coach against AS
I don't think Cormier is unknown. In fact he has just about as much hype behind him as Jones. Even casual fans know who Cormier is. Jones is just dragging bogus reasoning into the picture because he's not sure he can beat Cormier.
Really, all that is not even Jon's concern. He should be concerned with who he's fighting and that's it. He's making calls the UFC brass makes. They need to humble this kid.
It is weak for Jones to say he won't fight Cormier because "he's relatively unknown" but for Cormier to say that he'll go down to 205 but only if it is against Jones is just as lame…

"I wanted to challenge myself", said Haider Ackermann when asked what made him finally decide to create his first-ever menswear collection (bar a one-off show he did at Pitti in 2010). There was a certain poetic reflection on the limits of masculinity in the contrast between the tough-looking, heavily-inked models and the fit-for-a-dandy tailored duchesse satins, embroidered silks and fringed scarves. But while none of the pieces would look out of place in a woman's wardrobe, the collection was unmistakably virile and clearly designed for a man who doesn't need to prove himself. After the show, AnOther talked menswear and masculinity with the designer.
How is the working process different when designing menswear, as opposed to womenswear?
There is more of a sartorial spirit to menswear. For womenswear, the search for beauty and elegance in an abstract way may be more of a drive, but designing for men is a fully down-to-earth job. You can't "drape" a man, so instead you concentrate on the garment, making the sleeves just a little shorter or the trousers just a little tighter, all the while searching for a certain style, a certain attitude.
"You can't 'drape' a man, so instead you concentrate on the garment...all the while searching for a certain style, a certain attitude"
Almost every model cast for the show was tattooed. How did that relate to your masculinity ideal?
I was very inspired by models like Jimmy Q or Daniel Bamdad: their beauty is extremely masculine but also kind of romantic. The poetry of having their life story written on their bodies really touched me and made me think that, after all, their rebellion is their sophistication. I really wanted to pair their unique styles with the nobility of my clothes.
The collection, with its extreme luxury, was a reflection on dandyism. What defines a 21st century dandy?
Today's dandy has evolved. He does not, as Baudelaire would say, "live and die before a mirror". He doesn't exist by defiance and for a world of empty appearances; instead, he takes pride in the liberty and the singularity of his words, gestures and excesses, which is never easy in a world where everyone is constantly judged. He is brave.

ALBANY The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation launched an education campaign at its 149 boat launching sites statewide urging boaters to help "Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers" by ridding their boats of potentially harmful invasive species before and after each visit to State Park marinas and boat launches.
"Aquatic invasive species can spoil boating and fishing trips, reduce lakeshore property values and undermine the tourism industry," State Parks Commissioner Rose Harvey said. "Once established, controlling non-native plant and animal life is extremely costly – and eradication is very difficult, sometimes impossible. We need the assistance and cooperation of boaters to prevent invasive species from degrading State Parks and waters."
Trailered boats, car top boats and equipment moving between waterways are among the leading ways invasive species can "hitchhike" to new bodies of water. With Environmental Protection Fund support through New York's Department of State and Department of Environmental Conservation's Ocean and Great Lakes program, State Parks has developed the "Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers" signs for 149 boat launch sites statewide – informing visitors about what they can do to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. Each sign describes steps boaters should follow:
•Clean and remove all visible plants, animals, fish and mud from your boat, trailer and other equipment, and dispose of it in a suitable trash container or on dry land.
•Drain water from bilge, live wells, ballast tanks and any other locations with water before leaving the launch. Disinfect when possible.
•Dry your boat, trailer, and all equipment completely. At least 5 days of drying time is recommended. Drying times vary depending on weather and material.
"Access to New York's waterways provides tremendous recreational opportunities for residents and for visitors from all over the world," State Department of State Secretary Cesar A. Perales said. "I applaud the work of Commissioner Harvey and her staff in their work to enlist boaters to help keep New York's lake ecosystems healthy and our coastal communities thriving."

Product description
The life of Arsinoe II (c. 316-c.270 BCE), daughter of Ptolemy Soter, the founder of the Ptolemaic dynasty, is characterized by dynastic intrigue. Her marriage to her full brother Ptolemy II, king of Egypt, was the first of the sibling marriages that became the "dynastic signature" of the Ptolemies. With Ptolemy II, she ended her days in great wealth and security and was ultimately deified. However, in order to reach that point she was forced to endure two tumultuous marriages, both of which led her to flee for her life, leaving war, murder, and bloodshed in her wake. Throughout much of her life, Arsinoe controlled great wealth and exercised political influence, but domestic stability characterized only her last few years. Arsinoe was the model for the powerful role Ptolemaic women gradually acquired as co-rulers of their empire. Her image continued to play a role in dynastic loyalty and solidarity for centuries to come. Despite the fact that Arsinoe was the pivotal figure in the eventual evolution of regnal power for Ptolemaic women, and despite a considerable body of recent scholarship across many fields relevant to her life, there is no up-to-date biography in English on the life of this queen. Elizabeth Carney, in sifting through the available archaeological and literary evidence, creates an accessible and reasoned picture of this royal woman. In describing Arsinoe's significant role in the courts of Thrace and Alexandria, Carney dicusses the role of earlier Macedonian royal women in monarchy, the institution of sibling marriage, and the reasons for its longstanding success in Hellenistic Egypt. Ultimately, this book provides a broader view of an integral player in the Hellenistic world.

Review quote
The Hellenistic Age continues to fascinate. One of the latest, and best, books it's stimulated is Arsinoe of Egypt and Macedon A Royal Life, by that fine fistorian Elizabeth Donnelly Carney... Parsing the propaganda, skilfully plugging the gaps in our tattered evidence, as compulsively readable as she's critically sharp, Carney offers us a work of high scholarship that's also a compulsive page-turner. Peter Green, The Times Literary Supplement An interesting and enriching book. Jean Bartels, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Major Gift from Conair Funds Program Focused on International Commerce, Culture
Lakewood, N.J., May 31, 2012—A major gift from Conair, one of the world's most successful manufacturers of health and beauty products and kitchen and electronic appliances, will provide initial funding for Georgian Court University's Global Transformation Initiative, a program designed to strengthen GCU's e-commerce curriculum and expand opportunities for cultural exchange.
The undisclosed gift will make a significant difference in preparing students to be innovative leaders in industry and compassionate citizens in the world.
"Conair's generosity reflects the confidence and positive feedback we have received from our friends in business and from entrepreneurs who understand how critical it is to prepare today's students to become worldwide leaders," says GCU President Rosemary E. Jeffries, RSM, Ph.D.
The gift from Conair allows Georgian Court to build on its current academic programs in business and world languages while expanding opportunities for students to collaborate and study with their peers in other parts of the world.
"Ultimately, we expect them to use the skills and experiences of the Global Transformation Initiative to give back to society and the world economy," says President Jeffries. As part of the initiative, GCU will establish an international collaboration center, bolster its e-commerce curriculum, and create faculty innovation grants. The university, which recently sent students to Europe for an 11-day academic tour of Ireland, Italy, and France, will also use some of the donated funds to expand international learning experiences for its students.
"This donation will help provide them with experiential opportunities, real or virtual, to develop high-level technology skills and profound intercultural knowledge," says Cynthia Whitney, President Jeffries' special assistant for advancement. "With the Global Transformation Initiative, students will hone the skills they need to become competitive leaders and true global citizens."
Conair's gift comes on the heels of the university's May 15 announcement that Georgian Court is becoming fully coeducational. After more than a century of maintaining its historic Women's College, GCU will admit men to all of its academic programs—day and evening—beginning this fall. By Fall 2013, Georgian Court will offer housing and athletic programs for men.
The shift to coeducation and the cultivation of major gifts are among several strategic efforts to expand GCU's reach as a leading, regional university. Georgian Court also is incorporating research-driven changes in recruitment and admissions, academic offerings, and curriculum requirements. At the same time, the university continues to serve as a resource for Catholic education and intellectual tradition while promoting the values of the Sisters of Mercy, GCU's sponsoring organization.
Founded in 1908 and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, Georgian Court University is a comprehensive university with a strong liberal arts core and a special concern for women. A forward-thinking university that supports diversity and academic excellence, Georgian Court serves more than 2,500 students of all faiths and backgrounds in both undergraduate and graduate programs. Georgian Court's main campus is located at 900 Lakewood Avenue, Lakewood, N.J., on the picturesque former George Jay Gould estate, now named a National Historic Landmark. Georgian Court also offers classes at its site at One Woodbridge Center in Woodbridge and at the New Jersey Coastal Communiversity in Wall.

When a chase scene involves motorcycles, there seems to be only one way the chase can end. The motorcycle will invariably come across an intersection with a large semi towing a large trailer at the exact moment the trailer is blocking the entire intersection.
If it's the hero on the motorcycle, who will often be chased by cops in police cars, then the hero drops to his side and slides safely underneath the semi, while the cops blindly [[LemmingCops slam into the trailer without stopping]]. This is possible but extremely dangerous; misjudging the slide can easily result in decapitation by truck or in the rider's low-side leg being ground into paste.
If the hero is being chased by motorcycles instead, he will just barely zip around the truck, while his pursuers take the slide and are taken out of the race.
Note that motorcycle riders are advised to try something similar to this if they realize they can't avoid being in a collision, with one major exception: In RealLife, the goal of this maneuver is to stop in the shortest distance possible, taking a ''very'' severe case of road rash in favor of slamming into the back of a stopped vehicle or other obstacle. Hence why bikers are often HellBentForLeather or wearing other types of protective clothing, to provide a bit of protection from the road surface.
See also InstantConvertible for when a car tries to do the same.
[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'':
** Subversion: in ''2Fast 2Furious'', the hero manages to zip into a narrow gap between two trailer trucks. One of the bad guys then tries to do the same, but ends up losing control, then gets stuck under the truck, and is finally splatted by the rear wheels.
** Contrast with the opening scene in the original, where one of the cars slips underneath a hijacked semi-truck. And manages to stay clear of the wheels.
* The motorcycle goes under a few library desks in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull''.
* ''Film/TheDarkKnight''. Not a chase scene, since the Joker is coming at Batman head on in a truck, while Batman races towards him on the Batpod. However Batman fires two tow cables that hit the truck and then proceeds to weave in and out between the wheels of the trailer to tie it up. Because the Batpod is built low to the ground and the truck is quite high off the ground, he doesn't need to slide, just drive normally.
* In ''Film/GleamingTheCube'', the BigBad has kidnapped Brian's love interest just after killing her father for plot-related reasons. Instead of chasing the villain's car with another car, Brian sticks to the movie's theme by holding onto another car while riding his skateboard. During the chase, they end up on a six-lane highway, and Brian in the left lane lets go of the car he was holding to zip under the trailer of an 18-wheeler, grabbing onto a pickup truck driven and ridden in by his skater friends in the right lane.
* In ''Film/SpiderMan2'', Spidey is chasing two crooks in a car and naturally, a truck pulls out in the way. Rather than slide under, Spidey swings ''through'' the gap between the cab and trailer.
* Another quasi-example, this time from ''Film/{{Transformers}}''. Captain Lennox grabs an abandoned motorcycle, drives it straight at the Decepticon walking away, and puts it in a slide right through his legs, ''while firing his GrenadeLauncher straight into said Decepticon's codpiece''.
* Johnny does it in a motorised wheelchair in ''Film/JohnnyEnglishReborn''
* The 1995 Indian (Telugu) film ''Alluda Majaka'' (1995) features the hero pulling this trick off [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cRs_nnhBe4 with a horse]]! The effect is not very convincing, to say the least.
* In ''Film/TerminatorSalvation'', one of the Moto-Terminators does this under a piece of low-bouncing debris as it pursues the heroes. Like the Ben 10 example in Western Animation, having no driver makes it easier to recover.
* In the German action comedy ''Film/MantaManta'', Klausi (on his first day of having his driver's license) steers Bertie's Manta under a log-carrying truck, also to make fun of the cliché of Manta drivers lowering their cars.
* Chun-sim does this during the pile-up at the start of the South Korean film ''Film/{{Quick}}''; sliding her bike underneath the jackknifed tanker truck. She comes off the bike after the slide and gets up and walks away.
* ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'': In Seoul, Natasha Romanoff slides with her bike under the truck where Captain America and Ultron are fighting, before tossing Cap his shield that she picked up earlier.
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/BurnNotice'': Michael Westen has done this at least once.
* ''Series/HardcastleAndMcCormick'''s most famous stunt when [=McCormick=] maneuvers his CoolCar, the Coyote X, under the undercarriage of a moving semi-trailer truck. Fortunately, the car has an unusually low profile to enable that and a driver reckless and skilled enough to attempt it.
[[folder:Video Games]]
* In a cutscene to ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals: Zero Hour'', a pair of GLA pick-ups and a limo are escaping from a pair of US Humvees. After one of each is eliminated by a falling tower, an ''oil tanker'' pulls across an intersection just as the terrorist vehicles cross. The Humvee crashes, and the tanker ''explodes''. Lampshaded by the words "Really Explosive" on the side of the truck.
* In the video game ''VideoGame/{{Stuntman}}: Ignition'' where you play as a stuntman you have to do this particular stunt frequently.
* You will do this in chapter 8 of ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' to avoid oil-tanker trucks.
* Done in the motorcycle chase sequence in ''VideoGame/EverythingOrNothing.''
[[folder:Web Comics]]
* ''Webcomic/DawnOfTime'', during the future ''Film/MadMax2TheRoadWarrior'' [[http://www.dawnoftimecomics.com/index.php?id=264 parody arc.]] Slightly subverted in that Dawn escapes her pursuers, but gets blown off her bike when the truck explodes.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'', there is an episode that begins with Ben (as Upgrade) chasing a criminal, not on a motorcycle, but ''as'' it. He pulls this trick to slide under a truck and continue the chase. The thing about this one is that it's easier since there's no actual driver.
* In ''WesternAnimation/DCShowcaseCatwoman'', ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} slides her stolen motorcycle under a truck while chasing Rough Cut. For bonus style points, the truck is tipping over at the time.
* Much to his own amazement, Wile E. Coyote pulls this trick off in the short "Vicious Cycles" on ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow''. Of course, he is flattened immediately afterwards by a truck going in the opposite direction.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Marge does this (although she is on foot), dropping underneath Hans Moleman's truck while running home, in "You Kent Always Say What You Want".

NATwA Abolishes 3 2/3 - 3 1/3 Score
by Joe Sachs
From: firstname.lastname@example.com (Josef Sachs)
Newsgroups: alt.games.tiddlywinks
Subject: NATwA abolishes 3 2/3 - 3 1/3 score
Date: 01 Aug 1995 02:04:21 -0400
Message-ID: <email@example.com>
A NATwA Congress was held on Saturday, July 29 [1995]. I expect Rick to eventually provide details of the discussions and decisions that took place, but I wanted to make note of one particular decision and mention some points that were not made at the Congress.
A change was made in the rule concerning the 1-point transfer after a pot-out. The previous rule awarded the transfer to the color that played the potting-out shot (this according to a combination of historically-based convention and a ruling made during the 1994 Pairs).
The new rule awards the transfer to the pair which has more match points (for clarity's sake, these are sometimes called "game points", or, with the advent of the "tiddly" nomenclature, simply "points") prior to the transfer.
The new rule changes the outcome in the following cases: (notes: [1] choice of colors in these examples is arbitrary [2] B/R denotes "blue or red, but not both")
(I'll elide the obvious alternative versions of this case, where Y pots-out before one or both of B and R; I simply chose as an illustration the case most favorable to B.)
It can be seen in example (2) that one of the "Holy Grails" of winks, the 3 2/3 - 3 1/3, is now abolished. Example (3) provides a new way to pot yourself out and still lose. And in the prior way to do so, you now get 1 1/3 points instead of 3 1/3.
It is true that the first three examples are all extraordinarily unlikely. However, the fourth example is totally plausible (in fact, it came up in last year's Pairs). I'm admittedly in the minority, but I maintain that the player who actually performs the potting-out *deserves* the point transfer. I also find the outcome in example (3) to be particularly perverse. And, of course, I regret the abolishment of the 3 2/3 - 3 1/3.
In closing, I'll note that while the change was proposed for the purpose of bringing the NATwA rule into accord with ETwA's, the latter is not, in fact, clear on the issue:
[Rule 10 (a)]
"In a game in which Rule 8 has come into operation, the first colour to be potted out scores 4 points, the second to do so scores 2 points, the third one point and the remaining colour does not score. Partners' points are added together and one point is transferred from the losing partnership to the winning partnership."
It would be better for the rule to be explicit. Likewise for the (I believe) common understanding that all colors potted-out in the same shot tie for the corresponding positions.

Ad Age named Sullivan Higdon & Sink (SHS) the 2013 Small Agency of the Year-Midwest at its fifth annual awards on Thursday, July 25 in Portland, Ore. The award recognizes the power of being nimble, creative and independently minded.
"This year's competition was fierce," said Ad Age Deputy Managing Editor Rupal Parekh, one of the judges. "The number of entries was up across the board, making judging that much more difficult. We also see signs that more and more major marketers are turning to small and independent shops for creative solutions."
"The past few years we've felt a lot of a momentum brewing in our business and culture," said Rand Mikulecky, managing partner, SHS. "It's pretty great to have industry peers recognize that, too. I'm proud of our teams, grateful for our client partners and excited about where we're going."
The contest is open to independent agencies with less than 150 employees. Hundreds of national and international shops competed for several different awards and gold and silver honors were presented for: Agency of the Year, Campaign of the Year, Best Agency Culture, Pro Bono Campaign of the Year, Regional Agency of the Year, and International Agency of the Year. Editorial staff from Ad Age and Creativity judged the entrants in three different categories based on the number of employees: one-10, 11-75 and 76-150.
The agency's focus areas include food value chain; health and wellness; aerospace and defense; and marketing to men. In 2013, SHS launched initiatives to support two of its practice areas: FoodThink, an extensive multi-year mission to determine how and why consumers make food choices today and what will drive them in the future, and UpTake, providing insights, news and trends in the aviation, aerospace and defense industries.
Founded in 1971, SHS has approximately 125 employees across offices in Kansas City, Wichita and Washington, D.C.; its 2013 projected billings are $115 million.

Doug Benson — stand-up comedian, BWE Panelist, Last Comic Standing vet, and proprietor of the I Love Movies podcast, probably my favorite podcast on the 'Tunes — recently swung by the VH1 offices and answered some questions about his recent comedy exploits and offered his thoughts on the 2009 pop culture year thusfar.
I've listed my questions below followed by Doug's responses, so it's like we're talking to one another on the screen right in front of you! Enjoy.
It's already November — Have you picked out your 10 Best Picture Nominees yet?
No, because most of the award bait films haven't come out yet. Like OLD DOGS, for one.
What if you were forced to limit your list to just 8?
Like at gunpoint? That would be a weird thing to force somebody to do.
Favorite movie this year that definitely won't get nominated for anything?
A tie between DRAG ME TO HELL and ZOMBIELAND.
Any recent eight-words-or-less movie reviews you want to get off your chest?
THE BOX – It's like Deal or No Deal, sans Howie.
What tv shows have you been keeping up with this season?
30 Rock, The Office, Parks and Rec – I only have time for 22 minute bursts of entertainment. I don't even have time to say "recreation"!
Most pleasant surprise of the tv season? Biggest disappointment?
That Flash Forward hasn't been canceled yet. And that Flash Forward hasn't been canceled yet.
You're a self-professed Twitter addict with an extremely loyal fanbase (45,000+ Followers) – has your Twitter addiction cooled off at all since the initial excitement, or just gotten worse?
It remains the same. Some days I tweet 30 times, while on other days, just 29.
You released your second cd, "Unabalanced Load," over the summer, just one year after releasing your first, "Professional Humoredian." Have you found it difficult at all to keep on performing as often as you have now that a solid 90-100 minutes of your go-to material is on cd?
Most people who come to my live shows haven't listened to my CDs. The people who have might have to suffer through hearing a joke or two again.
You also recently completed your Medical Marijuana Tour, performing shows in each of the 13 states with legalized medical marijuana in 13 days. What did you learn from this experience?
That apparently there's a 14th state that we weren't aware of. We didn't go to Maryland because we didn't know it was a medical marijuana state. I'm still not sure if it is or not. Stoner news tends to be a little foggy.
Do you feel like it's a conflict of interest to support medical marijuana with such a rigorous, active touring schedule?
I wanted to prove that a stoner could go through such a rigorous schedule and not screw it up. And I did.
I imagine there are pros and cons to attracting a significant stoner audience and asking them to attend shows / sit and react for 50 minutes?
I don't let my shows drag on and on, because I know the audience is jonesing for a smoke. And so am I!
Anything you'd like to say to the 37 states out there that still don't allow medical marijuana?
Be like Maryland. If indeed Maryland is a medical marijuana state. Still not sure.

Looks like the first domino is about to fall; it's time to sit back and see how many are in the line of fire and will fall down with him.
Hopefully someone will get to the bottom of this and take the appropriate action against all involved with violation of human rights.
let's not mention vitamin companies and other interested parties that may have given monetary gifts to the mays for their research.......
It appears that nurse may is the brains of the operation. She got two foolish men to do her bidding and i am sure she gain financially every step of the way. It appears to ths reader that she was cold and heartless to both clients and staff. I hope she is held accountable for what she did ad those two foolish men don't take the all for her.
carol....your shoes are red too!
She was in-between them literally.......or so it seems
Remember...even administrators in Trenton knew this was going on....and they endorsed it. Shame on those incharge. The Ceo has to go and needs to take the top administrators with him. If may was the assistant med. director, what was the medical director doing when this was going on? Wasn't he suervising both of them?
Get the CEO out of there.........along with other administrators that turned their backs on the people who resided at that facility.................nurse may treated many staff very badly.....and the CEO let her get away with it.............
Again, whu doesn't someone look into the relationship between Nurse May and the CEO. She lead him around like a puppy dog making administrators afraid to say something. Nurse May would control the facility through her relationship with the CEO. He should get the boot right along with the Mays. How much longer i this gonna take?
Of course the CEO knows the nurse quite well. Someone should look into their relationship.......there is a whole lot more going on here than meets the eye...and they both worked for the same medical director....what was going on there? Who was watching out for the disabled adults when the nurse and CEO were playing footsie?
