Synthesis and Raman spectroscopic characterisation of the oxalate mineral wheatleyite Na2Cu2+(C2O4)2.2H2O
Frost, Ray L., Locke, Ashley J., & Martens, Wayde N. (2008) Synthesis and Raman spectroscopic characterisation of the oxalate mineral wheatleyite Na2Cu2+(C2O4)2.2H2O. Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, 39(7), pp. 901-908.
The mineral wheatleyite was synthesised and characterised by Raman spectroscopy complimented with infrared spectroscopy. Two Raman bands at 1434 and 1470 cm-1 are assigned to the ν(C-O) stretching mode and implies two independent oxalate anions. Two intense Raman bands observed at 904 and 860 cm-1 are assigned to the ν(C-C) stretching mode and support the concept of two non-equivalent oxalate units in the wheatleyite structure. Two strong bands observed at 565 and 585 cm-1 are assigned to the symmetric CCO in plane bending modes. The Raman band at 387 cm-1 is attributed to the CuO stretching vibration and the bands at 127 and 173 cm-1 to OCuO bending vibrations. A comparison is made with Raman spectra of selected natural oxalate bearing minerals. Oxalates are markers or indicators of environmental events. Oxalates are readily determined by Raman spectroscopy. Thus deterioration of works of art, biogeochemical cycles, plant metal complexation, the presence of pigments and minerals formed in caves can be analysed.

Chicago Teachers Union members voted overwhelmingly this week to approve a three-year contract, with the option of a fourth year, that was hammered out amid a historic seven-day CTU strike. Now comes the challenge of paying for the deal, which has so far largely played out as a battle between the union and district on school closings.

A school bus driver for the San Antonio Independent School District is dead and two students hospitalized with minor injuries after a bus crashed into another bus and then a fence in front of Wagner High School this morning.
Michael Perry, a humorist, musician and pig farmer from New Auburn, Wisc., has been awarded the new "distinguished public-school alumni" award from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
Ahead of a second closed-door meeting scheduled by the Wake County School Board to discuss "confidential personnel matters," board member Chris Malone told ABC11 in an on-camera interview that it was highly likely Superintendent Tony Tata would be fired.
As Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanual pushes ahead on his promise to reform the city's underperforming classrooms, he faces several daunting tasks: slashing an estimated $1 billion budget deficit, confronting a woefully underfunded employee pension system and finding money for the pay raises that settled the first teacher walkout in a generation. He hasn't ruled out school closings and tax increases, both of which would be hugely unpopular.
The trial has resumed in Memphis where a federal judge is hearing arguments on whether a state law that allows the six small cities in Shelby County to start their own schools is constitutional. Proceedings got back under way Thursday after a two-week recess.
Chicago Public Schools returned to their classrooms Wednesday with pay raises on the horizon after a seven-day strike, but details on how the cash-strapped district would pay for them remained scarce.

The Philadelphia School Reform Commission moved Monday to borrow $300 million to bridge a massive deficit, emphasizing the bond deal will probably be the district's last for several years. In a brief, sober meeting, the commission approved a tough five-year financial plan for the district as a prelude to the bond sale to cover a deficit of more than $200 million in the current $2.5 billion budget, as well as a shortfall anticipated in the fiscal year that begins next July 1.
After a full day of discussions about public education among a select group of establishment educators and allied think-tank types, the best recommendation they could all come up with is the need for more "effective teachers."

Santa Anita: Code West eyes Grade 2 Coolmore Lexington Stakes
Code West, sixth in the Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds on March 30, is a candidate for the $200,000 Coolmore Lexington Stakes at Keeneland on April 20, trainer Bob Baffert said Friday.
"It's a possibility," Baffert said.
Code West worked three furlongs Friday morning at Santa Anita, Baffert said, but the time was not on the workout sheet. Baffert said Code West galloped out a half-mile in 49 seconds.
The Grade 2 Lexington Stakes, run over 1 1/16 miles, offers 20 Kentucky Derby qualifying points to the winner. Code West has 20 points, earned from a second-place finish in the Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds on Feb. 23. Code West ranked 21st in the points standings through Thursday. The Kentucky Derby field will be limited to 20 starters.
A win in the Lexington Stakes would greatly enhance Code West's chances of securing a place in the Kentucky Derby field.
On Thursday, Baffert worked Sunland Park Derby winner Govenor Charlie a half-mile in 48.20 seconds. "He came out of the work in good shape," Baffert said.
Govenor Charlie has 50 qualifying points for the Kentucky Derby, tied for eighth in the standings.

A jury declared Wednesday that a conservative scholar who was passed over for a teaching job at the University of Iowa law school was not the victim of political discrimination.
That was the highest-profile allegation in the case of Teresa Wagner. A magistrate judge declared a mistrial for a second claim after the jury failed to reach a verdict. The job applicant had claimed she was denied equal protection under the law when she was passed over for a job teaching legal analysis and writing for a less qualified candidate, said U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas Shields.
Wagner claimed she was passed over for jobs at the University of Iowa law school because of liberal bias.
The mistrial in the case of Teresa Wagner was called after jurors reported they were deadlocked after three days of deliberations. The judge said the move means the case will have to be retried or resolved some other way, such as a settlement.

Syria opposition threatens to call off talks over female prisoners
Syria's opposition leader, Sheikh Moaz al-Khatib, has threatened to call off his offer of negotiations unless President Assad agrees to release all female political prisoners, AP reported on Thursday.
Speaking to the BBC's Arabic service, al-Khatib said the women must be released by Sunday in order for the talks to begin. The rebel leader had previously urged Assad to send his deputy to negotiate on an exit strategy with the opposition.
According to international NGO, Human Rights Watch, the Syrian regime has 27 'detention centers', holding political prisoners where inmates are often subjected to torture.
There were 4,000 political prisoners in Syrian in 2006, according to the Syrian Human Rights Committee but since the beginning of the 2009 uprising, many more have been detained.
Al-Khatib said on Wednesday that the Syrian government is holding 160,000 people over the uprising although he did not state how many of these were women.

The Republicans clearly won 2010. They took over the House of Representatives, several key governorships and legislatures, and therefore will get the better of Census-triggered redistricting. They got the mainstream media to join their fixation on "cutting spending" and talk about it ad infinitum, rather than talking about jobs. But 2011? It was pretty much a straight sets win for President Obama and the Democrats…
… when it comes to the substance of its budget negotiations with Congress. Impossible, you say? Klein provides a handy chart:
… and an explanation:
Thursday's payroll-tax deal concludes the final of the four major negotiations of 2011. The first was in February, when Congress needed to fund the government or risk a shutdown. The next was in August, when Congress needed to raise the debt ceiling. Then there was the supercommittee. Then, finally, the expiration of the payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance.
These negotiations were ugly. Their endgames were alarming displays of Washington's polarization and dysfunction. They drove the approval ratings of both President Obama and the Congress to new lows. But, in terms of the substantive concessions the two parties have won for themselves, the fact of the matter is that the White House begins 2012 in a very, very strong position. Much stronger than most would have expected at the beginning of this year. And not always through any fault of their own.
For starters, the government did not shut down — not once — and the deal Democrats cut to keep it from shutting down ended up being a nothingburger. The $38.5 billion in cuts ended up being more like $20-$25 billion, with less than $400 million falling in 2011.
The debt-ceiling debate was a mess, and it probably did real damage to the economy. Some of the deals that Obama offered Boehner — which would have taken the Bush tax cuts off the table, and raised the Medicare eligibility age — would have dragged federal budget policy far to the right. But Boehner didn't take those deals. And, in the end, the debt ceiling was lifted in return for $900 billion in discretionary spending cuts and the establishment of the trigger-backed supercommittee — a deal that ended up dragging federal budget policy far, far to the left.
The key here was that the supercommittee failed. That left two major events on the budgetary horizon: the spending trigger, which cuts $1 trillion from the budget, half of which comes from the Pentagon, and none of which comes from Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare beneficiaries, or assorted other programs for low-income Americans; and the scheduled expiration of the Bush tax cuts, which would raise taxes by almost $4 trillion. Both events are scheduled to happen simultaneously and automatically on January 1, 2013 — a dual-trigger nightmare for the GOP. And taken together, they are far to the left of anything that Democrats have suggested over the past year
Meanwhile, since no one really doubts the GOP will be forced, due to election year politics, to extend unemployment benefits and the payroll tax cut for a full year when the 60 day extension expires:
…then in the 2010 tax deal, Democrats got about $4 of stimulus for every $1 of upper-income tax cuts, rather than, as it seemed at the time, $2 in stimulus for every $1 in upper-income tax cuts.
Not bad.
Now you can expect a certain hand-wringing faction on the left to scream bloody murder at Klein, and accuse him of buying into the conservative shift in the conversation, so that "winning" means losing less than you thought you would. But on the substance, Klein is right. Republicans came roaring out of the 2010 election determined to slash government. They have not, in fact, slashed government. They have succeeded in essentially shutting down the congress, such that it is basically non-functioning, which, if you're in the George Will "government can do no harm if it does next to nothing" crowd, is a good thing. But given the scale of the cuts tea party people were demanding, and the specific ideological tokens they were hoping for (killing the EPA and the Department of Education, cutting off funds to Planned Parenthood and PBS, etc.) they come away with literally nothing. They haven't manage to close a single federal agency. Okay, they managed to keep old fashioned lightbulbs legal. Wave your Gadsden flags, boys!
Democrats on the other hand, managed to hold the line on entitlements, and have emerged in the public's mind as the party fighting for middle class tax cuts, while Republicans have maneuvered themselves into being the party fighting against a penny of tax hikes for the rich, at the expense of the working class. Will that translate into big legislative wins in November? Well, November is a long ways off, in political terms. But it certainly means that President Obama and the Dems head into 2012 with a pretty strong hand.

GENESEO, NY – The Blue Knights fromGeneseo swept the double-header softball games from the Hilbert College Hawks' softball team on March 31. Hilbert held a 4-1 lead in the middle of the 3rd inning in game 1 but Geneseo went on a 5-run tear to take over. Three different Hawk pitchers took the mound in game 2 but Geneseo still had fire in their bats to secure the win. Hilbert evened its record at 6-6 and Geneseo jumped to 7-5.
Sophomore Halsey Baker (Scio, NY/Scio) finished with 2 hits, 1 run and 1 RBI. Freshman Emili Ripley (Batavia, NY/Notre Dame Catholic) [pictured right]went the distance striking out 5 but giving up 15 hits. Ripley has now pitched 36 innings with only 2 wild pitches.
Again in game two, the Hawks were in the game through the 3rd inning with a 4-4 score. In the bottom of the 4th, Geneseo exploded with 5 runs to finish the scoring for the afternoon. Hilbert scored 3 runs with 2 hits in the third only to have Geneseo tie it up with 2 runs of their own in the bottom of the 3rd. Junior Carole Jones (Bliss, NY/Letchworth) and Baker each had a hit and an RBI. Freshman Devan Jonathan (Basom, NY/Akron) took the loss.
The Hawks are scheduled to return to action on Wednesday, April 7th, as they travel to North Buffalo to face Medaille College at McCarthy Park at 3 pm.

Diaz vs. Condit FightMetric Results | Condit Breaks UFC Leg Kick Record
Last night a new UFC interim welterweight champion was crowned when Carlos Condit was awarded a unanimous decision victory over Nick Diaz in the UFC 143 Main event.
In the aftermath of the decision, the MMA community ripped in two. Half think Diaz won, the other half in support of Condit. I personally scored the fight for Condit as my play by play analysis shows.
In times like these it is great to have a tool like FightMetric that objectively breaks down the numbers for the fans to make sense of.
If you take a look at the captured image above it is obvious that Condit outsruck his opponent, not only with volume punches thrown but all around strikes landed and he did it with a higher percentage.
The number's do not lie.
Additionally, during the post-fight aftermath UFC officials stated that Condit has broken the leg kick record for the UFC. He landed more leg kicks in the Diaz fight than any fighter has landed in UFC history.
For his efforts Condit gets the win, a belt, a new Harley Davidson and his place in the record books. Not a bad trip to Vegas.

Proof's in the pudding… Condit won that sh!t hands down.
How does somebody win when they ran the whole fight? Do yu know what Octagon control is? Carlos had zero, the proof is in this that he kicked and ran like a bitch. He is NO WARRIOR and does not deserve the next title shot! Just like Sonnen does not deserv e the next shot…..bot fights the judges were in the casinos pocket! FACT.
See this is what I'm talking about now you are bashing Carlos. Stop with the bias bs and just look at facts it's not that difficult. The judges have a tough job i understand that now because obviously not many people can stop letting their opinions get in the way. If you score they way they say it is scored then yes diaz won…no need to bash condit he didnt judge the fight.
if nick ran backwards they would be no fght,,,u look computstrike of farward steps…and running away steps…and hardder punches…and alllllllllll …………condit ran like gilr…aggressive effectiv stricking and octagone control ,,nik won allll
How much control did Diaz have? Following around his opponent getting hit at will?
He wasn't forcing Condit to back up. Condit decided not to stay in front of Diaz and keep his back off the cage.
In fact Condit was the one dictating where the fight was going, not Diaz.
Exactly… Diaz fans appear to be as stupid as he is.
^^ @ Xaninho
Ha! Right. If Diaz went backwards, he would have got his ass kicked worse. He doesn't have the footwork to avoid Condit's varying angles of strikes. As far as octagon control: Condit avoided being backed against the fence and pummelled, which the judges know, so they understand he was not running, but re – setting in the center where he is the stronger fighter. Bottomline: Muay Thai striking beat Boxing! Simple as that. Diaz had no answer.
It's like people can't get their mind around Condit fighting HIS fight. He was elusive when he needed to be and struck for points. Credit to Diaz, yes it wouldn't have gone well to stand flat footed and bang. Um…that's WHY CONDIT DIDN'T DO THAT!
I didn't know fighters can win fights with octagon control with slap boxing. When's the last time Diaz knocked someone out cold? Condit is better get over it
I was a Diaz fan before it became cool to be a Diaz fan…..but face facts Condit landed more shots and fought a perfect game plan and deserved the victory. Yes Diaz continually moved forward but got tagged a lot in the process with some great varied strikes. I was willing Diaz to tap him out in the final seconds but the right guy won. Hope the retirement talk was just a heat of the moment thing and he gets it together fights maybe Kosh then a shot at the winner of GSP v Condit.
Answer me this who looked like the had their ass kicked at the end of the fight??… and be honest with me and most importantly yourself.
This guy is retarded, just another diaz fan boy. Carlos clearly won that fight, when the fuck would he stand in front of Nick Diaz and trade? Thats playing Diaz's game and Carlos fought a great smart fight and he won. I had Carlos winning that fight, it seems as Diaz fans are retarded just as how nick is wanna be retarded gangster.
You fucking idiot, Condit Ran Away? Do you seriously think that that was what condit was doing? He was executing the gameplan his coach gave him which was to avoid getting cornered and get 209'd. And Octagon Control? You wanna talk about Octagon control, you watch old school Randy couture clinch videos. CONDIT fucking owned Diaz in the scoring department so you need to watch the whole fight again Dick Niaz Hugger.
LMAO @ Dick Niaz Hugger
Thats strategy man. just being aggressive doesn't mean you can win a fight. diaz was just frustated he cant catch condit.
The scoring is supposed to be based on effective striking grappling and octagon control. So if you are looking at the "pudding" you would see that diaz out struck in both the body and the head. He also maintained octagon control through the entire fight. Had condits leg kicks actually been effective they would have slowed nick down. I don't understand why there has to be so much bias…just watch the fight it shouldn't even be a debate whether you like Diaz or not.
So you can be outstruck, so long as you are moving forward? Roy totally had his fight then. Believe it or not, octagon control in the stand up is only used when the striking is very close or near non-existant(or at least that's when it should be imo). Sorry, but shots landed out weigh stupidly running into shots.
The funny part is the same people complaining about Diaz losing despite having octagon control are the same that complain about how GSP or Fitch win all of their fights with it.
It's hopeless and mikes post proves it. Full of opionions but not a single fact was presented and then you say something stupid like "The funny part is the same people complaining about Diaz losing despite having octagon control are the same that complain about how GSP or Fitch win all of their fights with it."
Something you couldnt possibly know but say to make yourself feel relevant in the conversation
i think diaz won but fact of the matter is ppl need stop bitching because it was WAAYYYY too fuckin close to complain if either fighter had one. i see comments all condit is a bitch fuck that diaz won ppl need to calm down
i couldnt agree more bro
That was not a good fight!!! Condit won bit he didn't really want to fight, I was disappointed with this main event
Damn leg kicks are important! That was what won Condit the fight. I'm not mad I picked Condit to win but wouldn't mind if the @Ufc made them rematch.
Simply an awesome performance. Outsmarted and outclassed Diaz on the feet.
Diaz doesn't deserve a re – match, especially not an immediate re – match. Not when it was not a split decision. Let him fight a few other guys first. Problem is, guys like Ellenberger, Koscheck, Fitch, and MacDonald will all kick his ass.
dumb muthafuckas don't know shit about strategy…smdh
strategy my ass, greg jackson simply ruined mma with his gameplans, that fight was ridiculous. He may have won the game but not the fight as the only thing he did was run, run and run. Fuck gameplans and fuck you too Mo.
hahaha that shit was funny…The sad part about the whole thing…Diaz cried like a bitch at the end and quit…hahahahaha
Yeah, go do a triathlon with Diaz and beat him at that too. lol
Numbers don't lie. And the way Diaz responded after the fight was bullshit. "condit your awesome guy happy for you and the fam, but this is bs little baby leg kicks". It's mma not boxing Diaz. People have gotten robbed in way better matches.
He is a poor sport. What are ya gonna do? It's a long fall down when you are so proud. He may have really thought he won. His corner is partly to blame for sending him into the final round with bad information. Even if you think you are winning 3 -1, if it's close, you tell your fighter it might be 2 – 2, and tell him he needs to take the last round. Dumbasses.
Diaz did win the last round in my opinion. lol
I had it 1, 2, & 4 Condit. Just re – watched the fight for the first time. There is absolutely no doubt that Condit won the 1st round.
Whoops. 1, 3 & 4.
This fight was incredibly close. I thought Diaz did enough to slightly edge it out, but Carlos did land more strikes. The Greg Jackson gameplan was in full effect last night tho!
How do you win fight if you are running away from your opponent. It just seems ridiculous. Leg jab and run, yeah what a warrior.
How do you win a fight when your opponent is landing more strikes? When you can't cut him off?
Like it or not, this is fighting. Outsmarting your opponent. Diaz is just frustrated he didn't have a punching bag that can't move.
Look at Diaz's face…it was ugly to begin with..but it was more fucked up than Condit's at the end of the night..Sorry sore ass fuckin lame ass losers
This is just how bj lost to Edgar, hit and run it looks good in the judges eyes obviously if it worked for Edgar and condit
I had it 3 rounds to 2 for Diaz.
Im glad your not a judge…you would fuck up the scoring system more than it already is.
How do most fighters lose to Diaz? They get cornered and then peppered on with jabs and hooks till they finally fall. I think COndit's game plan was to stay away from the fence. If you paid attention to the fight you will notice that yes Condit moves away, but he runs right to the CENTER of the ring and sets back up. e executed the gameplan and won the fight on points just like Frankie did BJ in the first fight.
I for one thought Diaz won but it was too close for me to judge. NEVER LEAVE IT IN THE HANDS OF THE JUDGES!!!
It's just sad that these are the people who speak for BJ Penn, going through lengths to discredit Diaz just because they don't like how he acts. Never saw so many proof and so much "I thought he lost" in articles in this website… A shame.
It was easy to see Condit won the decision. Diaz relies too much on backing his opponent into the cage and unloading, when that didn't happen he had nothing to show except the late takedown. Also, Diaz face was much more visibly beaten compared to Condits.
Condit breaks UFC leg kick record.
When nick slapped him that shit was funny as hell
your breath reeks of diaz cock.
Good 1 keyboard warrior
It was funnier when Condit slapped him twice in the face with his foot.
Not really I think the actual slap was much funnier btw
Diaz is fucking crybaby just like his cockbreath fans. Only reason he's gonna retire is because this is the highest in the ranks he will ever get. It's all downhill from here Diaz fans since most welterweights in the UFC will gladly hand him his ass. Retire now while people still remember you. Smart guy I'll admit.
Condit won by using strategy to land and avoid strikes. THAT"S WHAT FIGHTING IS ALL ABOUT. Hit the guy and don't get hit back. It was a good match up. I honestly think a better match up than GSP vs Diaz. Condit's team knew what was coming and prepared for it. If Nick wanted to win he would have changed it up a bit. He had plenty of opportunities to take Condit to the ground where I think the outcome would have been much different just as if Nick would have not been the aggressor and let Condit come to him. Nick did NOT control the fight as he did in some of his previous bouts. I'm not really a fan of either fighter. Both are great contenders; but facts are facts. Nick came with the same old bag of tricks; corner the guy and punch him; and ultimately paid the price. He was too predictable which is why he lost the fight. Best of luck to both fighters. I hope to see Nick in the octagon again, perhaps in the middle weight ranks. Just Sayin'
You are right on. Too predictable. And Condit stuffed all his single leg take – down attempts. Having weak wrestling finally bit him in the ass too.
Yep. They are all lined up waiting to take their turn. It's gonna be fun to watch his 2nd rate, Strikeforce, fight streak get put into its proper perspective.
Tekken needs to put Condit in their game.
Actually, in strikes to the head and body, Diaz out-landed Condit 111 to 91. Diaz also secured the only takedown of the fight, took Condit's back and nearly finished with a rear naked choke. It was only the leg strikes which Condit landed significantly more. It was Diaz who had Condit pushing back the majority of the fight, up against the fence or Carlos literally running away from him.
Many people (fighters included) believed those first two close rounds should have gone Diaz's way, along with the 5th, giving him the edge.
Truth of the matter is, both Rua and Penn received immediate rematches after their very close, controversial, title fight UD losses to Machida and Edgar respectively. There is NO reason why Zuffa shouldn't afford Nick Diaz the same respect in that regard, ESPECIALLY with GSP out until November. Fans who despise Nick Diaz aside, (and there obviously are a many in this forum), that's the correct move to make.
NICK ALMOST FINISHED A REAR NAKED CHOKE??? REALLY? LOOOOOL! Listen guy, diaz doesn't want a rematch because he knows he will get his ass handed to him once again. Condit owned him and it hurts for you to admit it, but get over it man, don't fall in love with fighters.
hahahah u trulya pussy not a fighter,,,diaz githis ass handed to him>>?/? u must not know anythingabout fighting if u cLL THAT SOMENE GETTING THERE ASSHANDED TO THEM RETARD
you are reading the strikes backwards but you righ diaz got robbed abnd was the oy one who came close to finishing ..and all carlos punches were soft,,diaz rocked carlos many times,,fuk ufc i retiring like diaz…from now on im not renting im watcvhiong free online streems,,,fuk it
Carlos fled like a woman (he's not a true Mexican like, Nicholas Robert Diaz is), he should never be considered a champion, Carlos has a Cowards Heart and fought like a child frightened of their Father. I would be embarrassed if I was Carlos, to be in the biggest fighting organization in the world, and to fight like a scared rabbit. No wonder he cant hold his head high after the fight, the whole world watched him run away from a fight for 25 minutes.
Did you have the cock of nick diaz lodged in your throat when you typed this? I think you did.
lol.u faggot talking about cocks ….get you mond right queer
Ok which one of you had it?
I think the main reason a lot of people are upset is b/c Condit talked all that noise about being a "warrior" and he was gonna go in there and dish out a lot of punishment. lolz. Condit is known for scrapping, and he basically went against his normal fight style to secure a decision. He never tried to end the fight at any point or bang. He just hit and moved out of the way, basically ran around trying to frustrate Diaz, which he did, but it made for a boring fight. Greg Jackson planning all the way.. I actually thought the decision could have went either way, and people would be upset no matter the winner.
Go look on the chart and you can see he scrapped and outstruck Diaz ..is that possible? It sure is..
Compustrike > Fightmetric FACT. G.Jackson just ruined Condit, he never fought like that before he was a guy who pushed the pace and went for the finish. he did niether in his fight wioth Diaz. UFC is getting to be really dumb with all these bullshit Decisions and point fighters. Condit I was not impressed by your performance at all, and thats the first fight ive ever said that about condit.
Condit is definitely a warrior, and he had nothing to prove in yesterdays fight. If you think it was a boring fight, it's because you were dying for diaz to win by ko or tko and you saw it fade as the fight went on. Poor diaz fans.
It wad a boring ass fight and I wanted Condit to win.
100% agreed Oreo, although I did want Diaz to win. I thought this fight was going to be in the same category as Rua and Hendo.
Okay. So, the fight wasn't more of a slugfest. That's what I was expecting too. But think about it: what are the two very most important strengths in Diaz' skill set? He has endless cardio, and it is next to impossible to KO him – even more important than his great boxing and BJJ, because without the cardio and toughness, you could still possibly finish him. So, Jackson simply used a strategy that avoided Nick's two greatest strengths, while playing to Carlos' greatest – diversity of strikes. It may not be macho. It may not be chest – thumping. But in a different way, strategy is strength and it won him the fight. A well – executed plan can be just as great a victory in my books. But that's me.
Pathetic victory…looked like a Diaz was fighting and Carlos was running for his life…but is there will be a rematch – Carlos would take it. Just like BJ and Edgar… First fight I gave to BJ but Frankie got better for the second one. IF scoring will be like this – MMA will become a joke! START DEDUCTING POINTS FOR RUNNING AWAY!
Boooohoooohoooohoooo! Shut up u idiot Diaz got his ass face and legs kicked all night long, stop sounding like a Lil bitchh.. wait u sound like Diaz booohooohooo..I quit! LOL
this exact sam bj vs frankie 1;..bj won and the guy who ran gets the nod,,,mma is waterd down now,,,nick should fuk ufc ad fight in dream only
Condit outstruck Diaz 159-117. 'Nuff said.
Stats do not tell the entire story of a fight, plus they never take into account "octagon control", a fighter "avoiding action" during the rounds, among other aspects. 'Nuff said.
The only "action" Condit avoided was getting trapped against the cage like BJ did. Condit is the one who dictated where the fight took place in the middle of the octagon and put on a technical striking clinic… Nick just walked forward like a zombie absorbing shots. If you call that octagon control so be it. You guys act as though Carlos didnt fight, have a look at the stats and Nicks face and be honest with yourselfs… nuff said.
To all you fools who think you know how to critique fights, try and get in the ring! even just a straight up 3 minute boxing round, Las Vegas nevada, there's mma fights every weekend, small venues….maybe you's can learn a little bit about yourselves before you's try to judge people's efforts and talk,talk,and,talk….step inside and feel it! who feels it knows it! Congrats! to Carlos Condit as of now you're the man…
Okay Im just going to say, WHO CARES WHAT YOU GUYS THINK ? At the end of the day condit won, what does arguing over it going to do ? lol
Every real fan not a buttsniffer saw this play out! It was obvious that Carlos OUTSTRUCK DIAZ..I know hard to believe but here it is. Carlos had a magnificent gameplan and stuck to it..all I can say is he looked like Jon Jones that night. Took Diaz out at what he does..still tons of DENIAL out here oh we'll suck it up fans!
Diaz Won that shit in my eyes, and every one in the house i was at watching thought he had the fight hands down except one person. so how can the entire stadium see it one way but the fucking idiots controlling the score have it completely diffrent? CASINO,VEGAS ect.ect… BS decision they just want to shield their golden boy from the beating Diaz will give him. now all you gay porn advocates can watch GSP hump condit for 5 rounds to a UD. I wont be buying that fight unless they put someone worth watching.
Key word: in yr eyes..
If you say condit out struck diaz you mean he leg kicked alot diaz has more head and shots than condit who obviously ran and threw leg kicks the whole time and significant strikes dont matter for condit cuz most of the where leg kicks and who ever slacker is you don't watch gsp fights cuz he does lay and pray or he will run and jab so wtf are you talking bout and you say diaz is overrated cuz condit ran from him thats a joke when somebody knocks him out our beats him up like he beats people up then you have some room to talk but based off that fight I dont think so and for people who like watching that kind of shit you need to watch a real fight get out your house and go outside cause if you understand the point isn't to let it go to judges thats why your allowed to elbow and knee and do submissions to prevent judges score cards but people don't seem to that
And people need to get off the gas with this condit out struck diaz cause what really mean is he kicked him in the leg more I mean lets get real here leg kicks don't mean shit and people who say that shit are so stupid so you mean to tell me if you punch a guy in the face and he leg kicks you twice he's beating you up cuz all he did was leg a mass majority of his strikes so no he got more leg kicks but he didn't out strike him cuz diaz has more body and face shot what really count on a fight so to say he out struck diaz is kidding yourself
Thanks for writing the longest sentence in history, I was almost able to make sense of it. Punctuation is your friend, use it.
Trey really have you ever trained or fought in the cage. you sound like a dumbass saying leg kicks dont matter. getting kicked in your lead leg actually do affect you. it affects the way you step into punches and the power behind those punches. so dont say getting kicked in your leg 68 times is not going to do anything cause that is ridiculous.
Diaz had more pitter patter left jabs, but Condit landed more powershots to the face and dictated where the fight took place.
The "Where you at Carlos!" gets a whole new meaning now lol
I guess you could say he was all over you Nick! And right now he's shining his interim belt!
it was where you at CARLOS cause he was running away from him the entire fight. If you like fights like that then you should go watch floyd mayweather boxing fights and leave MMA to the guys that want to see real fights (2 people engageing in combat). Condit had the strike and bike going the whole fight, SOOOO LAMEEE.
If that's what you wanna see, there must be some youtube vids with bums fighting eachother. Or a drunk barfight.
Staying in the pocket with Diaz would be just stupid. He is virtually impossible to KO.
Diaz got outpointed and outssed. Sure it wasn't the war that Diaz goes in there for, but looks like he couldn't impose his will to start one. Diaz has no one to blame but himself for not forcing the fight and cornering Condit more. He's a triathlete, right? Well, while you say Carlos was running… I say catch up and do something Diaz. If you are in such great shape and are willing to scrap, chase him down and make it happen. All his trash talking and backing into a corner didn't work this time…oh, and to answer his question whether Carlos can land those shots while moving backwards…yes, yes he can. You can be bitter because you like Diaz as a fighter and he lost, but that fight could have gone either way. It wasn't amazingly decisive and neither fighter incurred too much damage. The way Nick Diaz reacted after the loss was a little childish and premature, though, but who knows what type of emotions are going through his head after a long fight like that and then hearing he lost. Despite how "LAME" it might have been, Condit now has the interim belt and will be moving forward. Would you have rather seen a draw?
outssed = outclassed
*Also sorry for the wall of text.
You do know he never said that right? The UFC switched it from " where you at george" to "where you at carlos" get your facts right maan
Clearly Condit wins the fight by points. Without time limits, who would have won the fight though? Diaz tried to force the arm bar in the 5th because of lack of time and lost position, but I think that given the time he could have worked a submission. Sure Condit was a smarter guy with a better gameplan. But who is the better fighter? Or rather the real warrior. On the street, who would really win? Say what you want, but the UFC is the organization that showed us what real fighting was, and then shit like this takes place. Condit states how he is a "warrior" but in reality took advantage of sport rules to win. Condit is not the better fighter but clearly plays the sport of MMA a lot better than Diaz ever will. I would be saying the exact same thing about Diaz if he had not stayed true to his word. I'm a GSP fan and now I'm going to have to watch another of his fights go to decision. FML.
this reminds me of branden vera vs randy couture, vera did more damage, but because mma is divided into rounds randy won. because of that diaz should have won even tho condit did more damage. condit threw more strikes, but it was divided pretty evenly threw the rounds where all diaz's strikes were in a few rounds. diaz threw a lot of strikes in the first and second where condit threw a few but was consistant threw all rounds so diaz won the first 2 rounds the third round was about even on strikes but diaz was the agresser so i gave him that round but i would agree if they gave it to condit. the fourth was all condit. fifth was all condit untill diaz got the takedown so diaz deffinately got that round so diaz should have won either 49-46 or 48-47
I loved the fight. It was a complete chess match. To stand infront of Diaz is dumb. Circle away and use angles is the perfect plan. Its not running to move away from the fence when fighting a guy which is known for boxing people against the cage. Sooo many poorly educated fans.

In Season Out of season
DescriptionPlanting InstructionsAfter CareDelivery & Guarantee
Prunus Shirofugen is a wide spreading, vigorous Cherry blossom tree with profuse pink & white flowers hanging from the branches in late spring: it is one of the last cherry trees to flower each year.
Prunus Shirofugen Cherry trees can reach a height of about 8-10 metres.

How Standard Trees are Measured:
All the plants in the ornamental trees section are graded as standards, which means that they are measured by their girth in centimetres 1 metre above ground level (basically, their trunk's waist measurement). They aren't measured by their height, which will vary. So, a 6/8 standard has a trunk with a circumference of 6-8 centimetres and an 8/10 standard has a trunk 8-10 centimetres around. This measurement makes no difference to the tree's final height.
Standard trees are 2 - 3.5 metres tall (on average) when they arrive; they are the most mature trees that you can buy from us. We cannot tell you precisely how tall your trees will be before we deliver them.
General description of Prunus Shirofugen:
A beautiful, wide spreading tree that is wider than it is tall when mature, the Shirofugen Cherry is the latest flowering cherry, sometimes lasting into June. The large, double, fragrant white flowers open from pink buds and darken into pink again just before they fall. These contrast very well against the rich, copper coloured young leaves.
History & uses of Shirofugen Cherry:
Shirofugen means "white god" in Japanese. It was bred about 500 years ago from a tree called Fugenzo and it was introduced to Britain around the start of the 20th century.

"I think it's a house of cards," McNeill says. "I don't know how they could be putting a financial package together unless they know what they're paying for things."
The project is viewed much more optimistically on the opposite side of the street from Herkert & Meisel, where HRI recently leased a suite of offices. From the vantage point of a second-floor conference room in the renovated Lammert Building, HRI president Pres Kabacoff expresses enthusiasm about the hotel project and the progress being made on it.
"Let me tell you what excites me about this project: We have participated in elevating confidence in this community," Kabacoff says. "We're very proud of that. I think the project has changed from one that would never be built to one that's going to have a hard time finding a way to die. It's moving in the direction where we know it will bear fruit and we know that they (city officials) are committed to it."
The quest for the ever-elusive downtown convention-center hotel has been pursued like the Holy Grail by the past three mayoral administrations. In each case, the impetus for building the hotel has been the city's desire to attract larger conventions, which might otherwise shun St. Louis.
At least half-a-dozen convention-hotel proposals have been floated in the past decade. Some foundered because the city didn't embrace the location; others fell apart because would-be developers pushed for too much public money. But the argument for the hotel never lost momentum, especially after the city paid for a substantial expansion of the old Cervantes Convention Center, adding exhibition space and a 70,000-seat stadium. As a result of the expansion, the city demolished the 614-room Sheraton St. Louis, which had served as a convention hotel. Today, the cavernous America's Center, which boasts 502,000 square feet of exhibit space, is only partially utilized.
"You can't look at the hotel by itself," says Aldermanic President Francis Slay. "We've got a tremendous investment in the convention center. The hotel will help us get a better return on that investment and help it reach its potential."
In part because of the failed efforts of the past, a sense of urgency or even desperation is attached to the current hotel plan. Slay, who has already announced his intention to oppose Harmon in the 2001 mayoral primary, nonetheless expresses qualified agreement with the mayor on this subject, having signed the intergovernmental agreement that approved the HRI proposal in June. He says one of the reasons the city needed to close on the deal was to salvage the reputation and image of the city. At the same time, the aldermanic president acknowledges that saving face has turned into a costly gamble.
"We're paying too much money for this. There's no question about that," Slay says. "(But) I'd say -- not even reluctantly -- that this is an investment that we ought to be making. There's going to be risk involved, but we're willing to take the risk. We've made a decision that we're going to get into the convention business. We should make sure that we make that convention business the best it can be. We can't do that without a first-class convention- center hotel."
Events leading up to this point illustrate how a relatively small out-of-town developer sealed the lucrative deal -- when others couldn't. Much of HRI's good fortune to date seems to have hinged on the serendipitous timing of its entry into the competition.
After helping bring the Rams to town, former U.S. Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton began lobbying in earnest for a downtown convention-center hotel. By early 1996, then-Mayor Freeman Bosley Jr. had tapped Eagleton to head a three-member committee dedicated to securing a deal. Others named to the task force were Bob Bedell, president and chief executive of the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission, and Gregory Smith, an attorney with the firm of Husch & Eppenberger. Bedell and Smith also were key players in bringing the Rams to St. Louis.
The Eagleton group began negotiating with Melvin Simon & Associates, the Indianapolis-based owner of St. Louis Centre, and the adjoining Dillard's department store building at Seventh Street and Washington Avenue. Alternative plans were floated that involved either razing the historic department-store building to make way for a new hotel or rehabbing the existing structure.
"I don't think I invented the Dillard's site," says Eagleton. "I think that was what they call "CW' -- that was the conventional wisdom of that time, during the Bosley years. Both Greg Smith and I just thought it was killing two or three birds with one stone."
The concept, says Eagleton, involved locating the hotel at the Dillard's site, which was already attached to St. Louis Centre by a skywalk. The plan called for an additional skywalk to link the hotel with the convention center. Knocking off more than one bird, as Eagleton puts it, would have had the ancillary objective of revitalizing the beleaguered downtown shopping mall. In retrospect, Eagleton says: "That obviously was too much to do in one fell swoop. It did not succeed."
By late 1996, talks with Simon had failed to achieve results, but the Eagleton group forged ahead, announcing the city's plans to formally solicit development proposals for the hotel in February 1997. But when Harmon defeated Bosley in the Democratic mayoral primary in early 1997, the dynamics of the selection process changed. Harmon named a new 15-member selection committee, Eagleton's role in the selection process ended and the city made clear it was seeking proposals for not only the Dillard's site but the abandoned Gateway Hotel at Ninth and Washington.

Radio frequency is the application of electromagnetic waves on the body surface, this technique has many beneficial effects, even more than laser therapy.
Both in medicine and cosmetic surgery, decreasing fine lines and thereby delay the passage of time has been one of the goals requested by our patients.
Some of the benefits produced by the RF equipment are: Stimulation of collagen fibers produced by stretching toning effect, which is reflected in firm skin, healthy and free of wrinkles. When high-frequency waves pass through the skin electromagnetic energy is transformed into heat energy. Which may be responsible for a significant improvement to the dermis, based on the contractility of collagen, produced by the temperature increase inside the tissue through the RF temperature is increased in depth without affecting the skin surface.
Body exposure to high frequency electromagnetic waves aesthetic purposes through the hand piece of equipment which performs DERMOCELL RF radio frequency with an intensity of 20 to 100 Watts of power for periods of 10 to 30 seconds depending on the requirement the patient.
RF DERMOCELL equipment is a very useful machine in the field of aesthetics, because after years of fighting age, this device offers treatment with the best warranty in the market to slow this natural phenomenon.
This treatment involves using radio frequency waves to the stimulation of collagen and elastic fibers which are the components responsible for skin firmness. When these fibers are reached by radio frequency waves, leaving its flaccid state and elongate, causing in turn the stretch of the dermal tissue producing skin look firm and healthy.
Stimulation of collagen fibers found in the deeper layers of the dermis, to produce skin tightening through high-frequency magnetic waves .
Electromagnetic waves of radio equipment often play an important role in the reduction of cellulite. Since this is the cause of many aesthetic problems in people. The RF equipment has the following effects on the body:
•Thermal Tensioning fibrous septa because the thermal damage that affects the vasculature, which initiates a cascade of inflammatory events, including fibroblast proliferation and apparent regulation of collagen expression (neocollagenesis).
•Improved local blood circulation (vasodilation and hyperthermia) and drainage of fatty deposits into the lymphatic system.
•Breakdown of fat cells and apoptosis of adipocytes induced by heat. Different tissue types have different conductivity, fat is poor conductor (high impedance) while the muscular system is a good conductor (low impedance).
The skin and underlying tissue that contains collagen is heated without substantially modifying melanocytes and other epithelial cells of the epidermis.
Another positive effect is the improvement in the circulation of body fluids (blood pressure, venous and lymph), so it is very beneficial for people with circulatory problems and tired legs.
The increase of internal temperature "supplies" with arterial blood, rich in oxygen and nutrients, selected tissues, the epidermis near the hair and nails are the elements that the body considered "superficial" and therefore the first to the arteries that supply blood stops "clean" when you start the aging process, saving the best for other vital organs like the heart, kidneys, etc .

Do You Ever Leave Positive iTunes Reviews For iPhone Apps?
We know our readers are far too savvy to ever fall victim to the "greater internet ****wad theory", but a couple posts today made us stop and think about App Store reviews, how the system works (or doesn't), and whether we ever take the time to leave positive reviews for developers of our favorite apps, or just tear off in a fury when we think we've been badly done by?
Last things first, is iTunes stacked against developers? Maniacal Rage (via Daring Fireball) has highlighted an issue also raised today on Twitter by Craig Hockenberry, and submitted to Apple via Radar, namely that the iTunes review system, which may work well for music and other media, breaks down when it comes to the back-and-forth requirement of the app ecosystem.
Says Garrett Murray:
But my favorite part of this whole experience is that there's no way for me to respond to reviews as the app creator. So I can't go in and say, "Hey, by the way, version 1.3 fixes all this and we're just waiting on Apple's ridiculously slow and convoluted approval process!" I just sit by and watch.
Murray's deeper contention is that, through a one-way review system on iTunes, and a fart-app-driven, race-to-the-bottom rewarded ecosystem, Apple is fostering exactly the kind of that developers don't want to have as customers. Yep, the dreaded appsholes.
Perhaps developers, many of whom treat their creations as dearly as children, aren't thick skinned enough to handle the greater pressure -- and greater odds of negative pressure -- that came with the 20 million iPhone OS (including iPod touch) ecosystem. Maybe users like us forget there are real, living, breathing people on the other end of our "send" buttons. Maybe anger and bad experience are greater motivators than appreciation and great experience. We don't know.
But here's what we're interested in finding out: do you leave positive reviews for the apps you love? Of your top 5 favorite all time iPhone (or iPod touch) apps, how many have you left rave reviews for? And to help grow and support the developers behind those great apps, would you consider doing so now if you haven't already?

Do You Ever Leave Positive iTunes Reviews For iPhone Apps?
I've reviewed every app I've ever downloaded, and all (so far) have been 3-5 stars. It's not that complicated avoiding bad apps. I have yet to download any that deserved 1-2 stars because they're easy enough to spot.
ALL reviews (good or bad) should have explanations. If not, they should be deleted by Apple. They mean absolutely nothing to others who may be considering purchasing.
Apple fosters a system of negative reviews by prompting a review on apps you delete only! Even then, you are arbitrarily rating with stars rather than a written explanation. I've only rated a few apps because when I really like an app, I then would have to dig back through the all store for it and then rate it. Apple only makes it easy to rate the ones you are deleting.
I totally agree with Al.
Apple encourages you to rate apps you are deleting, so of course there will be more negative ratings than positive ratings.
They need to find a better way of encouraging users to rate apps they don't delete. I find that it's not that easy to go rate an app I love, but exceptionally easy to rate an app I want to delete.
If there was an option in my settings to "Ask for Rating After 5 uses", I'd leave it on, as long as it was a one time prompt. This way, I'd reward the devs for the apps I actually use with a quick rating. I think this would balance out the whole rating system.
I agree that it IS frustrating to see reviews with no explanation to back up the rating. "This app sucks, don't buy!!!!" is just as worthless as "Awesum!!!"
I definitely leave positive feeback when I actually find an app in the app store that I really enjoy.
Yes, I leave both positive, and if warranted, negative reviews.
The system seems very easy to game, however. There are apps, a one of them very popular, where the developer is obviously leaving himself rave reviews.
The app I mention really stinks, yet it's rated 5 stars by everyone, and remarkably "20 out of 20" find those reviews helpful.
It's a bit much to believe.
Let's not feel sorry for developers when they can game the system.
One of the biggest problems with the reviews are that people never go back and change them after an update comes out. Apple helped some by finally adding date and version stamps to each review so buyers can see when someone is talking about problems that were fixed 4 versions ago. Another is that people have one crash, see one banner ad, have one strange thing happen, and then they leave a totally worthless 1 star review. Apple should remove reviews like this, they remove comments from their forums all the time. Those reviews are helping no one; ie look at all the people complaining about the banner ad in the new Wall Street Journal app (which by the way you would be paying for online for most of the content in the app).
In any case; I tend to leave reviews for the apps I love, apps I hate, or apps that I could see myself using with a few changes. I always leave a positive review with comments if I really like it. I won't hesitate to dish out on a crappy app though, but I normally avoid them. Most of the time I will find an app that if they just changed or added a few things would make it great and I leave a review with the suggestions. It always makes me happy when I come back later and see the developer has commented that "we have added such and such" based on reviews. I tend to go back and update my reviews as well.
I think a big plus would be more interaction with developers and shoppers. I know they can't read every comment or email but maybe Apple could provide more categories in the review so the developer could see what areas people think need improvement. Something like star ratings on; UI, easy of use, reliability, etc.
I Tweeted about leaving positive reviews on iTunes while giving constructive feedback directly to the developer.
I'd like to see developers be able to question reviews by those who have clearly not read the application description and make negative comments about what they incorrectly expect it to do or be.
Also if I write a great review on iTunes in Australia the developer is unlikely to discover this unless they manually go through each of the 50+ different iTunes stores. Likewise my apps have no reviews in the US but plenty in Australia.
We need to build a culture of purposeful reviewing and for customers to know that if they contact a developer with a complaint they are likely to get a response.
I make a point of reviewing all the apps i download and love to pieces, I like to think it gives the developers a little perk to something they've obviously spent time on. And sometimes its the only way to even the score against the 1 star "crap, dont understand the point/crashes all the time because i havent followed instructions" reviews that in my eyes are often given unfairly.
What annoys me is when the app store refuses to recognise that i own an app so wont let me write a review. Case in point, Galaxy on Fire, been trying to review this for days, I've clocked up 6 hours playtime, and i'm loving every second. yet the app store is insisting that I must own an app to review it....
I'm just the kind of person that can't leave bad reviews. lol When I delete apps, I either rate it 5 stars (if it's decent, but I can't really make a use out of it) or I don't rate at all.
And I don't ever leave negative reviews for free apps. If I didn't pay for it, I didn't miss out on anything. I've only left a few bad reviews for apps I bought that don't work or are misleading or whatever. I have to be completely ripped off before I leave a rating less than the average.
Also, I tend to stay away from apps with less than 2 and 1/2 - 3 stars.
With all the communication going on between the end users and Apple's servers, I'm surprised that there aren't simple stats regarding app usage that could be posted. Similar to a Nielsen rating or something... I just mean I'd buy an app if I knew that users were using it everyday or more rather than go by a review from someone who has used the app once and is judging it based on that.
I make a point of leaving short, positive reviews about apps that get it right: apps that are stable, useful, and take good advantage of the iPhone's interface.
I rarely buy apps with ratings of less than 3 stars (unless I just want to experiment with a prototype)
I've only left one very negative review: a developer released a new version of a premium priced (as a new product) rather than offering the features to users as an update.
Perhaps in response to the user firestorm, the developer did the right thing in the end. I'd actually like to retract my negative review (it isn't accurate now), but it's not possible.
I can't say I've left a bad review, but I've left a few good ones. I tend to just use software I like a lot and ignore the software that I don't; I don't have a big emotional investment in it the way I do with music.
I'm glad you addressed this topic. I've been frustrated by the review system for some time and I REALLY wish they'd fix it. (In fact I wrote an entire blog post about their "Rate It If You Hate It" review system (http://blog.iliumsoft.com/2009/03/20/rate-it-if-you-hate-it/).)
Besides the fact that it hurts developers, it undermines the value of the rating system as a whole. After awhile folks are just going to ignore the ratings completely.
Also, I too feel the pain of not being able to respond to users. For instance, it kills me when I see a bad review complaining about the lack of a feature the App actually DOES have.
I tend to be a 4-5 star app reviewer unless I've been duped. If there are significant limitations with no mention of them, I've dropped the one star review before.
I give out way more positive reviews than I do negative, by far.
You get the hang of it. Developers pay, provide promo codes, the guys download the apps and write fake reviews, although they claim that every app is tested and such. Sure, and we plan to convert MacStories into a Flash website.Mobile Application Developer

Creepy Crawler System
For many years, bug-tracking mechanism is employed only in some of the large software development houses. Most of the others never bothered with bug tracking at all, and instead simply relied on shared lists and email to monitor the status of defects. This procedure is error-prone and tends to cause those bugs judged least significant by developers to be dropped or ignored.
Creepy crawler System is an ideal solution to track the bugs of a product, solution or an application. Bug Tracking System allows individual or groups of developers to keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively. This can also be called as Defect Tracking System. The creepy crawler System can dramatically increase the productivity and accountability of individual employees by providing a documented workflow and positive feedback for good performance.
