Myths of Invention: Law and the Ignorance about Genetics
Limon, Cressida, The Australian Feminist Law Journal
This article argues that the modern legal concept of invention is based on an 'ignorance about genetics.' The ignorance about genetics refers in general to the forms of imagination about biological reproduction in western philosophy. Adriana Cavarero's rewriting of the patriarchal form of the ignorance about genetics is extended to biological inventions. This article explores a general notion of biological invention in law and genetics and how intellectual property law continues to be based on myths of parthenogenesis. Such a myth is an image of genealogy based on the name of the father (law). But that is not the only possible genealogy. Clarice Inspector's novel A Breath of Life is a good starting point.
1.0 Introduction
All narratives of the origin take on a mythical turn, in that they speak what is: to speak what is qua what absolutely is, is always to endure Meno's aporia, to which a positive answer cannot be given.1
Does invention always involve a narrative of the origin and therefore a corresponding myth? Myth is clearly no stranger to invention. In Bernard Stiegler's analysis of an originary divide between art and craft technê) and knowledge episteme) in western philosophy, Meno's aporia, refers to the problem of the origin of knowledge:
A man cannot try to discover either what he knows or what he does not know. He would not seek what he knows, for since he knows it there is no need of the inquiry, nor what he does not know, for in that case he does not even know what he is to look for.2
In Meno, Socrates' response to this aporia (which Stiegler suggests is at the basis of modern philosophy) is to posit the immortality of the soul and its omnipotence prior to the soul's fall 'into the body.'3 At birth, the soul forgets this knowledge which nonetheless can be 'rediscovered.' Stiegler argues that in Meno the myth of anamnesis (the immortality of the soul) remains mysterious but that it will become 'dogmatic' in the Phaedrus4 whereby
the opposition of the soul and the body becomes the law of all philosophical discourse - and with it, the opposition between what will later be nature and culture, the human and the technical, as well as the question of technics qua writing.5
This opposition, at the origin of philosophical discourse, against myth, against rhetoric, against poetry, is repeated in the law of invention. But invention always escapes this law. Jacques Derrida began his essay on invention by recalling the word's Latin roots and by insisting that we need to keep this inheritance in mind.6 Inverino, in Latin, refers to that part of rhetoric (the art of oratory, or speaking well) that finds the ideas or things that the speaker deals with. Inventio is contrasted with disposino which arranges or places these ideas or things.7 The rhetorical tradition appears to have been displaced in the contemporary understanding of invention as a mechanical apparatus. But the advent of biotechnological, reproductive and genetic inventions has challenged the 19th century metaphors of invention.8 More precisely, it is the insistence of the modern law of invention (intellectual property rights are exemplary) that ideas are universal and therefore they belong to everyone. Invention, on the other hand, 'can display its originality only in the values of form and composition.'9 Significandy, Derrida writes,
There is no natural invention - and yet invention also presupposes originality, originality, generation, engendering, genealogy, that is to say, a set of values often associated with genius or geniality, thus with naturality. Hence the question of the son, of the signature and of the name.
We can already see the singular structure of such an event taking shape. Who sees it taking shape? The father, the son? Who finds himself excluded from this scene of invention? Which other of invention? Father, son, daughter, wife, brother, or sister? If invention is never private, what then is its relation with all the family dramas? …

An independent investigation has found the former president of St. John's University and his top aide engaged in no criminal wrongdoing, but showed "errors in judgment" in their dealings with a university fundraiser who later committed suicide.
The investigation was led over several months by Frank Wohl, a Manhattan attorney hired by the university. The findings were released recently by Peter D'Angelo, St. John's board chairman.
Under investigation were the Rev. Donald Harrington, president of the university until he stepped down in July, and Robert Wile, his chief of staff, who also resigned.
Harrington, 67, who served as president for 24 years, had acknowledged that he accepted lavish gifts from former Dean Cecilia Chang, who was on trial for numerous offenses and hanged herself last November after testifying in court.
Among the charges against Chang were that she forced foreign students on scholarships to do household duties for her and that she stole more than $1 million over the years from the university.
Trial testimony indicated that both men took lavish vacations and accepted watches and clothing from Chang. She was suspended in 2010 when a St. John's internal audit uncovered evidence of missing money.
Harrington, who announced his retirement plans in May, said that the urgings of several members of the board persuaded him to stay longer than he had originally planned. "The difficulties for everyone during the past year have convinced me, after much prayer and reflection, that the time to leave the presidency has now come," he said.
The Wohl findings determined that although St. John's had policies in place about conflicts of interest, financial relationships and appropriate dealings with vendors, "there were errors in judgment by Rev. Donald Harrington and Robert Wile that led to conflicts of interest and failures to fully disclose those conflicts to the Board of Trustees."
The "failures" included a real estate transaction involving both men; a short-term loan by a former board member to the two in connection with that real estate transaction; and a personal loan made by a university vendor to Wile.
The report found that none of the transactions caused financial harm to St. John's.
Following the findings, the St. John's board has asked Wohl and the university general counsel to make additional recommendations to ensure that the university maintains the highest ethical standards.
Meanwhile, the university continues its search for a new president. The Rev. Joseph Levesque, former president of Niagara University, is serving as interim president. The search is expected to take several months.

Giants-Patriots Super Bowl Replay May Prove Lucrative for Tyree
David Tyree made hundreds of thousands of dollars by pinning a football to his New York Giants helmet four years ago and holding on. He's set for another payday two years after playing his last National Football League game.
With about 97 million Americans watching, Tyree gained instant fame on Feb. 3, 2008, making one of the most memorable catches in Super Bowl history in a championship-winning drive as the Giants upset the New England Patriots 17-14.
The result was at least one sponsorship deal worth $100,000 or more, appearance and speaking fees and a book deal, according to the 32-year-old Tyree. With the Giants and Patriots back in this year's Super Bowl, Tyree may be looking at a second wave of marketing dollars as fans and companies relive the play.
"A few months earlier we were begging a mall to put together a $2,000 appearance for him," his agent, Michael Clouser, said in a telephone interview yesterday. "Then they were all calling us, offering six-digit packages and spokesperson deals. It blew up."
Both Clouser and Al Mercado, who handles Tyree's marketing opportunities, declined to identify specific deals the former player signed or how much they were worth.
Tyree's fame might have been worth mid-six-figure-dollar deals the following year, according to Peter Raskin, a marketing agent with the Legacy Agency, whose clients include the Detroit Lions' Ndamukong Suh and Mark Ingram of the New Orleans Saints.
"He'll be sought after for personal appearances around this Super Bowl, too," Raskin said in an interview.
Indianapolis Presence
This year's title game is in Indianapolis on Feb. 5 and Tyree said he'll be there that week taking advantage of marketing opportunities, with a bit more selectivity than four years ago.
"I wouldn't have any of it if it wasn't for the catch," Tyree said on a conference call with reporters yesterday. "My opportunities were very far and few."
Tyree had four catches during the 2007 regular season as the Giants won 10 straight road games before playing undefeated New England for the championship in Glendale, Arizona. He caught three passes that day, including a fourth-quarter touchdown. None was more memorable than his 16-second play on the final drive.
Memorable Play
New York trailed by four points, with third-and-five on its 44-yard line and 1:15 remaining in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Eli Manning avoided three would-be tacklers, spinning and reversing direction before throwing the ball downfield.
Tyree leaped through the arms of New England safety Rodney Harrison and caught the ball by pinning it against the top of his own helmet, maintaining possession as Harrison dragged him to the ground for a 32-yard gain. The Giants scored on Manning's pass to Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds remaining to win the title.
Steve Sabol, the president of NFL Films Inc., called Tyree's catch the greatest play in Super Bowl history.
The result was a crush of requests for Tyree's services as a pitchman or celebrity speaker and guest. He rarely turned down the offers, he said.
"I felt like, at that time, I had to take advantage of those opportunities," Tyree said. "I was at a point where I never had any opportunity in my life so when somebody said come do an appearance, we'll give you 10 to 15K -- shoot, I'm there."
Non-Stop Calls
With the Giants' 9-7 regular season and postseason run to the Super Bowl this season, Tyree and his agents said the phone has been ringing nonstop with appearance offers. The benefit of a few years of maturity, he said, has made him more judicious.
"I'm honored to be part of the journey, but I don't feel like I have to take advantage of every opportunity," said Tyree, now more focused on his home life as a father of six.
The catch, which Tyree reluctantly re-enacted while posing for photographs last week to light the Empire State Building Giants' blue, was the last of his NFL career.
He missed the 2008 season after knee surgery in July. He was waived in September 2009 at the end of training camp and signed in October with the Baltimore Ravens, playing 10 games, mostly on special teams. He signed a one-day contract with New York to retire as a Giant in July 2010.
Tyree is now the director of strategic partnerships for New York-based Tepidus Group, a financial-planning company with a unit focused on philanthropic endeavors such as building orphanages.
Back in Spotlight
In June he returned to the spotlight, receiving criticism after publicly opposing same-sex marriage before New York lawmakers passed a law allowing it later that month.
"I got tons of flack, but I expected that," he said. "I knew what I was getting myself into."
The spotlight is likely to be kinder to him over the next couple of weeks.
"It's a great opportunity for me to be a part of the Giants' tradition," Tyree said. "I'm sure there's going to be some opportunities to push some more coin and keep these six kids fed, so we'll see how that goes, too."

Bonnie Myotai Treace on Generosity and AttentionWeek 2 of Bonnie Myotai Treace's Tricycle Retreat begins today. In this week's talk she elaborates on last week's theme of generosity and introduces the theme of attention. While stressing the importance of attention in practice she tells a story of a Japanese Emperor that visited a Zen master asking for a great teaching. In response to the Emperor's request the master painted a calligraphy of the character for 'attention.' The Emperor thanked him but stated he was looking for more of a teaching than one simple character. Upon being asked to elaborate on this teaching, the master's response was simply to once again paint the character on another piece of paper and hand it to him. This apparently went on for quite some time. Eventually the Emperor saw that this repetitive action WAS the great teaching—that one must come back to attention again and again and again. More »

Spanish soccer star Puyol takes keen interest in BuddhismSpanish striker Carles Puyol has a keen interest in Tibetan Buddhism, according to phayul.com. The soccer star, who plays for Barcelona, met the Dalai Lama when His Holiness visited that city. With Spain's World Cup victory yesterday, we can expect Puyol to be in the news in coming weeks, and no doubt we'll learn more. Puyol's friend Ven. Wangchen told the Voice of America that "Puyol's interest in Tibetan culture and Buddhism started after reading Sogyal Rinpoche's book, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, which helped him deal with death of a family member." Wangchen adds that Puyol "has a Tibetan tattoo on his left arm which reads 'Power is inside the Mind. More »

The Obon Festival, honoring the dead, and the last of the JapantownsThe Obon Festival is a Japanese Buddhist three-day observance during which families honor their deceased ancestors. According to scholar and Shin priest Alfred Bloom, The Obon observance has deep roots in Asian ancestor cults from India to Japan. It is based on the legend of the monk Mogallana's rescue of his mother from the hell of hungry ghosts. The story dramatizes the son's anxiety for his mother's welfare after her death and how it was resolved through Buddhist practice. Practicing meditation, Mogallana gained spiritual insight and vision, which enabled him to see his mother's true condition. He then asked the Buddha how to free her from her suffering. More »

Arroyo Bares Plan for Economic Reform; Signs 2 Landmark Measures
Byline: GENALYN D. KABILING
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo yesterday unveiled the economic reform agenda of her administration aimed at spurring economic growth as she signed two landmark laws, one allowing banks to unload billions of pesos of bad loans and repossessed assets and the other ensuring transparency in the procurement of government resources.
In a major policy statement at the Philippine Stock Exchange in Makati City, the President laid out several "proactive and microeconomic structural reforms" in the transportation, revenue, power, and trade sectors to boost the domestic economy in the remainder of her term.
The President - who was with Senate President Franklin Drilon and House Speaker Jose de Venecia - signed the Special Purpose Assets Vehicle law (SPAV) or Republic Act 9182 and the Government Procurement Reform law or Republic Act 9184 designed to improve the loan portfolios of banks and make government transactions more transparent and efficient.
The banking law gives tax breaks and privileges to special purpose vehicles that will acquire and invest in banks' non-performing assets and unlock much-needed credit to spur economic growth.
"The SPAV law seeks to save the banking sector from the financial fallout of lending decisions that went sour after the Asian crisis" she said.
According to the President, the law would give relief to the banking sector saddled with more than P300 billion of bad loans and more than P200 billion of repossessed assets.
"The SPAV law takes away these burdens - for a price of course. But it allows banks to charge their losses against their taxes," she said.
Mrs. Arroyo said the SPAV would "bring in new money to revive bad loans, find new uses for foreclosed assets, rehabilitate failed businesses and open wide the lending windows again."
An interagency group composed of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Bureau of Internal Revenue is expected to complete the final implementing rules of SPV law by the of the month.
The Government Procurement Reform Law, on the other hand, provides for the modernization and standardization of the procurement activities of the government.
"RA 9184 will help government procurement officers to stick to the straight and narrow path. It will fight graft and corruption, improve operational efficiency, foster transparency in bidding procedures, and encourage competition," she said.
The money saved from government e-procurement program will help reduce the swelling budget deficit, she added.
Aside from these laws, the President said she is ready to implement other crucial economic reforms to entice more foreign investments that would create jobs and raise the people's income level "in the shortest time possible."
Among these reforms include the improvement of infrastructure particularly the rehabilitation of the transport system, privatization of the power sector, and revitalization of the mining industry before the end of her term.
Arroyo also wants to improve revenue collections, prosecute big-time tax evaders, and rid the government of corrupt officials.
"By 2004, I want to see a revitalized economic that adequately serves the needs of our people, creates even more jobs, and raises our people's income levels, and pushes poverty to the margins," she said.
Hinting another shakeup in her cabinet, Arroyo said she will make the members of her cabinet "realize the urgency for policy coherence and coordination or need for them to step down."
The Chief Executive at the same time vowed to fast track the implementation of various infrastructure projects "that will be vital arteries of commerce."
She took pride over the opening of the Batangas international port "after a decade of red tape" while announcing the near completion of the San Roque dam in Pangasinan. …

Over the weekend, someone wrote to me asking about the lack of dates on my website articles. I tried to reply to them directly, but their mailbox bounced everything back, so I though I would write it here on the off chance they read my blog.
As the original poster correctly pointed out, there are no dates on my website articles. When I started the website many years ago it just never crossed my mind to put dates on the articles and I've seen no reason to include them since. Why not?
Every year the computer science department of The University of Birmingham bring together alumni from the department and current students for an informal dinner to allow the students to get a feel for what goes on in the outside world. It's sort of like career speed dating. Even though I'm not an alumni of the CS department (I did biology), I've been asked if I will come to the next one in March. I'm kinda excited and nervous at the same time.
I feel another outing for the oraclenerd t-shirt coming on!
On Sunday evenings I usually pop over to see some mates. Jodey fills me in on the latest gossip, while Steve tries to convince me that vitamin C can cure every problem know to mankind. We do some yoga, then watch whatever they've got on series link before I go home. At the moment, we are watching Spartacus: Vengeance. We watched the previous series together, so we knew what to expect. Last night we decided to play "body-part bingo", which involved deciding on a quota of various human body-parts we expected to see during the episode and trying to keep count to see if we guessed right.
My hosting company (Fasthosts) has got on my tits this morning. This is not about a service issue or anything like that. It is because they have started a new campaign promoting, amongst other things, their excellent support service…
I've been with the company for over 11 years. In that time their technical support has been consistently terrible for a number of reasons, including:
These are just the highlights, so to speak…
My website was down for the best part of an hour yesterday, between 15:30 and 16:30 UK time.
I contacted the hosting provider, but each time they looked at the site it was up, so they close the ticket. The fact that 30 seconds later it was down again does not seem to worry them. I asked for something a little more substantial than, "It's working now. Your ticket has been closed", but unfortunately it was not forthcoming.
Since that incident it seems to have been stable. Fingers crossed, whatever it was will not happen again.
This morning, the display on one of my computers was a bit odd. I rebooted the machine and when it came up I got no output on the monitor. I plugged my laptop into the monitor and that worked fine, so it looked like the graphics card had died. I popped down to a local PC store and had the choice of remortgaging my house for new graphics card, or buying a cheap and cheerful one. I did the latter. Even so, the new card was much flasher than the old one.
I put the card in the machine and it booted up and I had a display again. Trouble was, GNOME shell had failed to start and I was knocked back into fallback mode, that looks a bit like GNOME2. Sigh. Forgot to check the the card against support for the ever-so-picky GNOME shell.
I now have a choice to make:
The Google Friend Connect badge I've been displaying on my website homepage and this blog is no more. Google have canned that widget. Instead it's been replaced by a Google+ badge. Unfortunately, the G+ badges currently only support Google+ pages, so I can't connect it to my regular G+ profile, only the ORACLE-BASE.com G+ page. Not ideal, but that's the way it goes.
Currently, the G+ badge options are not particularly WordPress widget friendly. Even the small option is a bit wider than the width of the sidebar on my blog theme.
I wrote last month about some issues with my website as a result of an issue with my hosting provider. It's been a very long and arduous process, but I think I've finally finished the last of the cleanup. It's certainly not something I would like to repeat again. Having said that, there are lots of positives about the process.
If you loved this,
And you loved this,

Travelogue: 2013 Audi S8
The Audi S8, 2013 edition, moved around the track smoothly and efficiently, like a knife cutting into an oozing wedge of farm-fresh cheese. It steered without hitch, taking the turns with flawless deliberation. Inside the luxurious leather-stitched cabin, Audi's unique sonic-reduction technology masked the skidding tires until they were nothing more than the delightful squealing of a litter of acorn-fed piglets. Outside, the Spanish sky was stark and cloudy, the hills around the track wheat-yellow. The car braked quickly and parked on a diagonal dime, with maximum grace.
I sat in a Munich hotel room wearing only my boxer briefs, watching the car do all this on a YouTube promotional video. In fewer than 24 hours, I was supposed to get into a similar Audi S8 in Spain for a "first drive" around the Circuito de Navarre, a Formula One racetrack that opened in 2010. I felt very nervous; I didn't know how to drive on a racetrack. An Indy driver had just died in a fiery and horrific crash. Didn't the Audi people see that footage? Shouldn't caution rule the day? But maybe they hadn't. Just look at their S8 on YouTube, going so fast and taking those turns so close, skidding to a stop like it's finishing a victory lap. The car has 520 horsepower. No one uses that much horsepower, except for movie spies.
The newest version of the S8, which will likely cost around $115,000 when it appears in the U.S. in the summer of 2012, has an all-new twin-turbocharged V-8 engine. With a stiffer suspension than the A8, it's extremely high performance, a real "driver's car." But it isn't technically a racing vehicle. It's an executive-class sedan designed for commuting and weekend drives. Audi decided to deploy it on a track, a company PR guy told me, "to show what it can do."
German car executives often pick Spain for testing because there are open roads and a long sport-driving season. Spain brings to mind warmth and leisure and hot-shot driving. But the thought of Spain, which I'd always wanted to visit, suddenly filled me with terror.
That morning, I'd arrived in Munich and had immediately gone to a co-ed public bathhouse, on purpose and by design. I'd walked more than three miles to get there because I didn't want to spend money on a cab. Then I'd gone to a public market and eaten


text: gluten-free The Gluten-Free Revolution By Joe Donahue • Feb 18, 2015 Listen Listening... / 15:15 Gluten-free has gone far beyond trendiness. Although about 1% of the population suffers from celiac disease (the autoimmune condition which causes the immune system to attack the intestinal walls in response to consumption of gluten), up to 8 times more people may have sensitivity to the protein, or experience ill effects from related conditions, such as IBS and wheat allergy. That translates to about 40 million Americans buying gluten-free products, a $4.2 billion market that continues to grow. Living gluten-free is a challenge and Jax Peters Lowell wrote a book on it 20-years ago and now that work has been revised. The book is: The Gluten-Free Revolution: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know about Losing the Wheat, Reclaiming Your Health, and Eating Happily Ever After.

And why Fitchner's bank/liquor store manager didn't simply reach up and pull the smoke-gernade out of his mouth with his unbound and perfectly functional arms and hands.
(And wouldn't the smoke gernade have made all the hostages pass out and and thus their explosive gernades would go off?
But, yeah, you'd think SOMEONE would've noticed the bus that was backed into a building pulling into the line of busses. It was terribly convenient, too, that those busses were going by just as the Joker pulled his out.

|ESPN.com: Mixed Martial Arts
|[Print without images]
Frankie Edgar wasn't ready to give up his spot on this list. At UFC 118 in Boston, he fought every bit like a man who belonged on it.
For the second time in four months, "The Answer" got a unanimous decision nod over B.J. Penn. This time around, there wasn't a shred of controversy, as Edgar dominated Penn for 25 minutes and affirmed his place here. In maybe MMA's most talented division, he'll have the chance to really add to that résumé in the future with a stream of top-notch 155-pounders in his sights, including his first challenger -- the only man to defeat him -- Gray Maynard.
With his loss, Penn exits this list, on which he's enjoyed a spot since March 2008. However, stepping back into the fold is one of Penn's lightweight coevals.
Gilbert Melendez staked his claim as one of the sport's best back in April, smashing on Dream lightweight champ Shinya Aoki in a hugely significant lightweight bout. That win, combined with Penn's loss, allow Melendez to slip back into the pound-for-pound top 10. Melendez previously enjoyed real estate here from the initial Sherdog pound-for-pound list in September 2007 up to his June 2008 loss to Josh Thomson.
UFC middleweight champion
Record: 27-4
If great champions need signature moments, Silva may have excelled himself in Oakland on Aug. 7. The brash and bombastic Chael Sonnen bombed on a hapless Silva for 23 minutes. Then a sudden triangle armbar earned "The Spider" the come-from-behind victory. In spite of his win and the rib injury he reportedly carried into the bout, post-fight discussion has focused on the waning dominance and increasing fragility of Silva. The Curitiba native will have a chance to prove his fifth-round submission was no fluke, though. After his recovery, he's expected to fight a rematch with Sonnen in the coming months.
UFC welterweight champion
Record: 20-2
When St. Pierre and Josh Koscheck met for the first time in August 2007, St. Pierre walked away with a unanimous decision. When they collide in a UFC title rematch three-plus years later at UFC 124, it will be on the heels of the 12th season of "The Ultimate Fighter," which figures to build the second fight with an easy and obvious face-heel dynamic. It's a dynamic that is only going to be reinforced by the fact their Dec. 11 clash will go down at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
WEC featherweight champion
Record: 17-1
Though Alexandre Franca Nogueira was perhaps the first true dominant featherweight during the division's embryonic stages, it is his countryman Aldo who is now situated as the first truly great 145-pounder. Coming off a brutal blowout of divisional poster boy Urijah Faber in April, Aldo will return to action at WEC 51 on Sept. 30 to make his second title defense. Taking on the enormous task of trying to put a dent in the Brazilian dynamo will be veteran Manny Gamburyan, who has been rejuvenated after cutting down to the more appropriate featherweight division.
UFC lightweight champion
Record: 13-1
On Aug. 28 in Boston, Edgar proved that no matter the controversy that surrounded his April UFC title win against B.J. Penn, he is definitely the sport's top lightweight. For five rounds, Edgar was the superior fighter, ahead of "The Prodigy" every step of the way, standing or on the ground. However, in spite of two massive wins, fans are unlikely to be too taken with Edgar's accomplishments until he gets through his next challenger: Gray Maynard. The only man to beat Edgar, Maynard outpointed him in April 2008.
UFC welterweight
Record: 23-3, 1 NC
Love him or hate him, Fitch was in his element at UFC 117, where he duplicated his June 2006 win over Thiago Alves with a commanding, one-sided unanimous decision. Whether the victory earns Fitch another shot at the UFC welterweight title is uncertain. What is clear, however, is that Fitch has entrenched himself as the hands-down, second-best fighter in one of MMA's historically rich weight classes. His grinding fight style will continue to make him a polarizing figure among fans, but Fitch absolutely meets the most pivotal requirement -- consistently beating great fighters -- of this list.
UFC light heavyweight champion
Record: 19-4
"Shogun" Rua's credentials are a far cry from what they were in 2005, when he tore through four top-10 opponents in half a year. However, assuming his recovery from a worrying third knee surgery goes swimmingly, the Curitiba native will have plenty of opportunities to carve out more outstanding pound-for-pound-quality wins in a talent-rich 205-pound division. First on deck for "Shogun" post-recovery will be former champion Rashad Evans in a highly alluring clash of premier fighters in one of MMA's premier divisions.
UFC middleweight
Record: 25-4-1
There was a time just a few short years ago when Shields was reviled for being one of MMA's most loathsome fighters to watch. During the past five years, the Cesar Gracie protégé has transformed himself from a drab, peripheral contender to one of the sport's elite fighters. With elite credentials at both 170 and 185 pounds, the former Strikeforce middleweight champion has now signed with the UFC, where he'll head back to the talent-rich welterweight division. The first step for Shields inside the Octagon will come Oct. 23 at UFC 121 in Anaheim, when he takes on Martin Kampmann.
UFC light heavyweight
Record: 16-1
"The Machida Era" lasted less than a year, as Mauricio "Shogun" Rua brutally plunked MMA's proudest karateka in Montreal to take the UFC light heavyweight title and 205-pound supremacy. However, Machida still enjoys considerable stature in MMA with high-quality wins in one of MMA's most talented and star-laden weight classes. Though it won't restore him to the lofty status he previously enjoyed as champion, Machida will have the chance to build on his résumé at UFC 123 on Nov. 20 in Auburn Hills, Mich. He'll meet fellow former champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.
UFC light heavyweight
Record: 15-1-1
Evans' May 29 win over rival Quinton Jackson didn't exactly set the world on fire. Evans walked away with a unanimous decision win, though. He'll have the chance to take his résumé from "very strong" to "exceptional" in the near future, as his win over Jackson installed him as the UFC's top 205-pound contender. The real issue for the former champ is simply inactivity, as champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua's most recent knee injury has pushed their clash back into 2011.
Strikeforce lightweight champion
Record: 18-2
In the biggest lightweight bout that could've been made outside of the UFC, Melendez thumped on Dream champion Shinya Aoki for five lopsided rounds, earning the most significant and outstanding win of his career. The major challenge going forward for the 28-year-old Cesar Gracie student is going to be securing major fights within the confines of Strikeforce. Fortunately, as the Aoki fight showed, the lightweight division has a level of global depth and versatility that makes it easier than it would be in other divisions.

Homeward Bound - Adopted!
Now living happily in Lincoln, NE
On April 15th, 2013, Hearts United for Animals rescued 19 dogs from miserable conditions where they had lived for years in a Lancaster County, Nebraska puppy mill. Most of them were underweight, and all have medical issues due to severe neglect. All of the dogs were so happy to be rescued. They delighted in the comfort given to them by their rescuers. They enjoyed their clean new spaces and wonderful soft food. They lapped up their fresh, clean, abundant drinking water – something they had been lacking.
Rescuers decided that these dogs are definitely rock stars! They came through their ordeal with such happy, positive attitudes, looking forward to their much improved new lives. They survived, they endured, and they will become loved family members.
Bob Seger came in with only 8 teeth left in his infected mouth and lost every last one of them when he had his dental. He was also severely anemic and had a nasty urinary tracy infection. He is feeling like a new man now and has decided he is going to get with the program. Because he is a little older, he does not quite keep up with his friend Bob Dylan in the way he wants to, but he sure does try. Bob Seger is learning how to be a dog and it is wonderfully heartwarming to see the progress he has made. He is truly an American hero.

I'm a married man in my mid 40's. I've been married for eight years. I'm not really sure what's going on. Am I having some kind of midlife crisis? The seven year itch? I don't know.
I've had this restless (for lack of a better word) feeling for a couple of years now, and in order to try figure out what I've been feeling I did what anyone these days would do: I Googled it! Maybe the "interwebz" isn't the best source of good, solid information, but boy, did I find a lot of information! I seriously considered cheating on my wife, but the bottom line was that I couldn't bring myself to do that to her. I also realized that I wasn't just looking for sex. (Just a bit more background here: From all outward appearances, my wife and I are happily married. Unfortunately our sex life is almost non-existent (I have a fairly high sex drive), but we get along very well, and otherwise have a good relationship.) I started thinking along the line of "Why can't I have a girlfriend as well as a wife?" Which is pretty much what lead me to reading about polyamory. The more I read, the more intrigued I became. I've picked up a few books on polyamory, and am reading through them. The more I read the more I feel that polyamory resonates with my outlook on life.
OK, that's all fine and well, but what about my wife. Me declaring myself poly may make me feel better, and I'm better able to understand my own feelings, but that's only half (or maybe less) the battle. I can't even imagine the can of worms I'd be opening by starting this discussion with her. No, actually, I can imagine it, and it scares the crap out of me. The crucial, all important core of polyamory seems to me to be open and honest communication. Without that it hasn't a chance of working. So, I feel that's where I need to start. Perhaps I can start by opening up some more (non threatening - to her) lines of communication.
Sorry I've rambled on so long. If anyone is still with me, I'd love to hear what you think or might have to say.
Thank you for your time.

Hi everyone,
I've been commuting to work since September, I stopped when the weather got cold, but this week has been nice so I rode to work on Monday and Tuesday. This morning it is -1 and the roads look frosty.
I know a lot of people bike in much worse conditions, I was just wondering what I should look out for on the roads on mornings like this one? I'm not riding to work this morning and I am not happy about it.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Even professors need time off. It is true that our job is not as stressful as other jobs such as being a surgeon or a fireman. There is a lot of stuff going on at UCLA (98% of which is good!) and so I'm tired at the end of this quarter. To refresh and get ready for the winter quarter, we are heading to Berkeley, CA. Berkeley has a positive treatment effect on my family. Our son's grandparents live there and we have a whole routine that we return to that involves hanging out outside and going to downtown San Fran. Is Berkeley a better place to live than Los Angeles? I may return to this important topic in a future blog entry.
While on vacation, I will write a book review for the Journal of Economic History. I'm grateful that Bill Collins trusts me to do a good job on such an assignment.
I also have to deal with a tricky revise and resubmit at a journal where the editor has told me that to make his special issue's due date that he must make a decision by April 1st so to give the reviewers another chance to beat up my paper --- they must get the revision back by February 1st 2008. I must admit that I'm not used to such sharp deadlines. I'm used to a more leisurely academic schedule so such discipline is actually good for me. The reviewers made a number of very good points and some not so good points. We will be polite in responding to these.
At my stage of my career, I don't understand why I still send papers to journals. I could just post them here and let the "editor" (i.e you) decide whether the ideas presented here are interesting.
I hope to see you at Chez Panisse (or at least the Starbucks across the street)

DUMA: Presence of oil in Namibia's Owambo Basin
is confirmed
By Ian Gilson, CFA
Duma Energy (
announced that an independent analysis of a soil sample from the
vicinity of the Etosha 5-1A well by Weatherford Laboratories of
Houston TX has confirmed the presence of crude oil. The 5-1A well
is, so far, the only well in the Owambo Basin to penetrate
the top of the prospective carbonate section. The carbonate basin
is of similar age and structure as those oil bearing structures
in North Africa, Siberia and the Oman. These results are
preliminary and further studies are needed to delineate the
structures by airborne high-resolution magnetic surveys.

CHULA VISTA Katherine Poythress
The City Council on Tuesday approved a process for dissolving the city's Tourism Marketing District.
Hotel owners in Chula Vista want to get rid of the city's tourism marketing district and its accompanying tax, but until now have not had a formal process for disbanding it.
Chula Vista's Tourism Marketing District was established in July 2009 to support the chamber of commerce's marketing efforts. Owners of 22 hotels and motels agreed to a 2.5-percent tax on room rates, which the city would collect and the Chula Vista Chamber of Commerce would then spend.
It was billed as a means for generating more business for hotel owners by advertising the city as a tourism destination. But in recent months a grand jury found that the tax district was being run on faulty accounting practices, and reports have found that 72 percent of the money collected during the last three years has gone to pay chamber employees' salaries.
City Manager Jim Sandoval last week responded to some of the concerns raised by the grand jury. He assured its members that the city is now closely monitoring the marketing district's operations and has reminded the chamber of commerce of its contractual obligations to provide an annual report.
Amid the allegations have been cries and petitions from hoteliers to abolish the district, but the city did not have an established policy for receiving and dealing with the petitions.
City law allows for the disestablishment of the district by way of a resolution if a petition or petitions are submitted by a majority of the owners of businesses in the district who together pay 50 percent or more of the tax levied.
City Attorney Glen Googins in May presented a formalized procedure for disestablishing the district, and the council hammered out the details for two weeks before passing them Tuesday.
"Part of the objective here is to get a process that isn't unduly burdensome and is ultimately defensible," Googins told council members. "I think it's inherently more fair to the hoteliers, because the procedures are now explicit."
The new resolution will apply to the tourism marketing district not only this year, but in future years, should it continue to exist.
Under the resolution, the petition forms for hoteliers will be almost identical to those currently used, except that they now must have a certification by the person petitioning that they are the owner of the business or authorized by the owner to submit the petition.
Petitioners also must be current on district dues for their votes to be counted. Their petitions will have to be submitted to the city between July 14 and Aug. 12, after which the finance director will count them and the city clerk will verify them.
The results must be forwarded to the city manager by Aug. 31. If the petition is successful, the council will be required to hold a public hearing and a vote on disestablishment.

Just yesterday, El Mac released 3 colorways of a new print, "The Prayer." All editioned differently, "The Prayer" is available in vermilion red, metallic copper, and a teal blue variant. Printed with San Francisco's Moon Editions, the print is based on the painting Mac created for the New Masters show at Subliminal Projects in LA earlier this year.

It's so cute but sometimes can get a little annoying, especially when you are trying to sleep and a purring little hair monster is on your head! LoL

My collie is a talker. He has such a range of sounds he can make. We can tell his mood just by the sound. He not only barks in different pitches, he yips, whines, and does this wierd gurgling/talking noise when he wants on the bed. I think he's trying to mimick us. He is hands down the most vocally expressive dog we've ever met. When I give my dogs Frosty Paws, they carry the container ever so gently into the living room, and very, very slowly lay down holding the container between their front paws. It takes them about 30 seconds to lay down it's so slow, like they are holding a baby or something precious. And then they very methodically lick...lick...lick...lick...at a very defined pace in unison.

My cat is weird. I think her entire personality is just one quirk combined with another. She scares herself -- a lot. She is always running too fast, and smacking herself into furniture, walls, or her cat tree. She tries to "play it cool" when it happens, too. She is very loving...and loves to be pet all the time. But she's fickle, so after one or two pets, she can turn on you and bite you -- and then go right back to enjoying it. She is unlike any cat I've ever had.

AMC's The Walking Dead Season 1 Discussion & Spoilers

Re: AMC's The Walking Dead Season 1 Discussion & Spoilers
The second episode didn't quite live up to the first one in terms of quality and I did have a major issue with them standing around in full view of the zombies trying to break through the glass doors, but this is still the most promising tv show I've seen in a long while.
As for there only being 6 episodes, well I'd much rather have 6 good episodes than 13 mediocre ones. Shorter seasons often equate to better quality, imo, because the writers/producers can tell the story they want to tell without having to pad it out.
Look at the majority of the big network shows, you only really need to watch the first, penultimate and finale of any season to know what's going on, the rest are all standalone episodes and filler.

I also noticed that one of the zombies was using a rock (or maybe a piece of broken pavement) to try to break through the glass doors of the department store. That use of a simple tool has me wondering just how intelligent these zombies are. Who knows what else they could figure out?
There definitely seems to be some tiny flickering remnant of who they once were. We saw the wife of Lennie James's character trying the door to the house where she died and the deputy was still hanging around the police station. Then there was the little girl picking up the teddy bear. Does that remnant mean there is also a vestige of human intelligence in there somewhere?

Script approval. John Hurt once said something like: "I don't want the writers coming on the set and act. That's my job. I don't tell them how to write, that's their job, and I should respect them enough to let them do it." Stewart and Spiner, while they have a lot invested in their characters... they sure aren't writers. To be fair,
some of Stewart's notes were solid,
but as we're saying, the idea was not all it could have been.
Yeah, but poor Piller. He handcuffs himself by *trying* to keep to Roddenberry's vision of no intercrew strife, and Stewart tells him he should forget everything Picard et al have done in the past cause we want to move forward.
I guess it's a damn good thing that Frakes doesn't seem to care that his character is ridiculously underdeveloped compared to Data and Picard...While I was reading Piller's book, it occureded to me that the logical thing would be to make Riker as Kurtz. and then it struck how dumb that would feel and how little emotional resonance it would have because....we don't really care about the frigging second in command.
Hell...THOMAS Riker is more interesting.
internet reviewer SFdebris, in his review of INS said that it would have been a bold idea to divide the crew in this movie over whether or not to help the Baku. It would have made the movie much better and given the "dilemma" the true two-sided feel that a dilemma is supposed to have, rather than the comic book "white hats" thing Picard and company had here.
It would never have happened of course, because it would have been much too "non-TNG."

2000 Chevrolet Prizm • 210,000 miles
I have a 2000 Chevy Prizm that was running rough and had a problem accelerating until the car had warmed up. The gas mileage has got under 20 mpg.

It has codes P300/P301 (listed 2 times). I have also changed coil packs, MAF sensor and fuel injectors. What could be the cause?

good morning in greece
"Travelling with my parents, they've always impressed upon me respect for other cultures and how learning some words in their language can be fun and show respect.
So – at age 11 – I learnt 'calimera' meant good morning in Greek, for when we were travelling through some of the islands there.
So one morning, I walked along a beach at the front of our hotel, picking up shells and nodding my head at passers-by and calling them 'squid' (calamari) instead. *nod* Squid! *nod* Squid!
To this day I love learning bits and pieces of the language when we travel – I love seeing people's faces light up in delight that you have taken the time and care." Kirsten Jackes, Intrepid Express reader.
a shot in the dark
There's no going back now – digital cameras have opened up a whole new world of photo opportunities!
They've made it easy for us all to be a photographers and capture those magic moments then share them quickly with friends and family. But there is still an art to getting it right and Intrepid's John Kirk comes to our rescue with some great tips for taking the perfect shot…
"I just love the challenge of night photography and capturing spectacular images of city lights. However, there are a few tricks to getting good results. I have some proven tips that I share with my Intrepid Australia groups to help them take home superb night photographs of city lights, harbours, campfires and the endless starlit sky.
w is for water in poland
We've all done it – felt confident trying out a few local words, only to end up with hot sauce instead of mild or a one-way ticket when we wanted round trip. But that's all part of the fun, as Express reader Ewa Malinowska explains…
"This is a story of a friend whom I was traveling with in Poland. In Polish water is 'woda', and vodka is 'wodka' – the extra 'k' turns the word 'water' into an endearing term. During our travels, I taught my friend many words and phrases, and one day he decided to do the breakfast 'shopping' by himself.
japan through the lens
Travellers on our first Japan Through The Lens photographic adventure returned with rave reviews and stirring images of spring blossoms, sumo wrestlers and sumptuous sushi feasts. Intrepid leader Yuka Suzuki travelled with camera in hand and enjoyed the chance to capture the real Japan with her group…
"We've seen and done so much in 2 weeks and the endless photo opportunities were fantastic! This trip was specially designed to let our group focus on Japan rather than feeling like they were under the tourist spotlight, and that's exactly how it developed.
hemis highland fling
Renowned for its majestic mountain beauty, the remote north Indian region of Ladakh is also famous for its auspicious Hemis Festival. Held each year in late June or early July, the monastic festival entertainment includes masked dancers and much celebration, as Express reader Lauren Matthews discovered when she visited the 'land of high passes'…
"The first night we were in Hemis for the festival we heard faint music coming from a tent on the other side of the river, so a couple of us decided to check it out. We followed the tunes to a tent where we found several locals dancing around a table to Ladakhi grooves as well as some Bollywood classics, including "It's the time to disco", a song that continues to ring in my ears to this day.
chic but cheap spain
A word of warning to the savvy shopper, if you are coming to Spain after visiting other counties in Europe, make sure you leave room in your backpack! Though the outstanding handcrafted wooden furniture of Valencia is not so easy to transport home, fortunately that's not such a problem for the divine leather goods of Andalucia, the clever toys made in Alicante, the internationally-famous textiles of Catalonia and the delicious sherries, wines and spirits found throughout Spain! High quality items at fair prices are always appealing, so Intrepid's Monica Alvarez gives us some tips on shopping in Spain…
"For many shoppers, Spain is paradise. Prices are generally much lower than in the rest of Europe and fashion is one of the main exports of the country, from cheap and chic Zara and Mango to trendy designers such as Loewe, Custo, Camper or Manolo Blahnik, plus you can shop under the sun year round. Actually during the warm months of summer, particularly in hot cities such as Seville, the shopping areas are sheltered to allow customers to wander around in the comfort of the shade.
russia rolls off the tongue
At first glance Russian looks like the most impossible language to pronounce. There are lots of Cyrillic letters that appear strange to English speakers, like the ones that look like backwards 'R' and 'N' and the letter that resembles a spider.
In most languages the easiest word of all to say is "hello", but in Russian even when the word is written in latin letters it still looks intimidating: zdravstvuyte! Don't let that put you off – Russia and Russian might seem tricky at first, but as Intrepid's Tara Kennaway explains, you'll get the hang of it and then there's so much to enjoy…
"Travelling on the Russia and Beyond trip, our Russian leader Masha helped us to get our minds and tongues around a few of the basics. Her technique for teaching us to read the Cyrillic alphabet had our train carriage attendant a bit nonplussed however – she used a whiteboard marker to write on the train windows! By the time we had crossed into Siberia I thought I was doing pretty well. That was until I asked the name of the little village where we would be staying on Lake Baikal. Instead of answering she wrote it and had us try to read it out loud: Bolshoye Goloustnoye.
Crystal clear in Venice
Europe has so many stand-out destinations when it comes to buying a traditional gift: Germany for cuckoo clocks and beer steins, Italy for leather, Belgium for chocolates and Switzerland for army knives (and chocolate!). But here's a tip from Intrepid's resident Europe expert, Cassandra Wallace, about where else to buy that special something…
"My favourite place to go souvenir shopping and to stock up on gifts for Mum and Dad is Venice. Venetian masks are everywhere. Shops are filled with exquisitely decorated masks with feathers, fine paintings or glitter and there is bound to be one that suits you. Read more
Sri Lanka says it all
With its heritage of British occupation, Intrepid's Melissa Cannon never expected Sri Lanka to have such difficult-to-pronounce place names – but how wrong she was…
"The first challenge I encountered on our Circle Sri Lanka trip was at Panduwasnuwara, a ruined palace we explored en route to the fort of Yapahuwa, where the lion perched at the top of the ornamental staircase features on the 10 rupee note.
Tongue-twisting names such as Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and the ancient fortress of Sigiriya are some of the ancient city ruins that comprise Sri Lanka's cultural triangle.
a word on the great wall
In a country where our pronunciation and tone of the word "ma" could mean we are saying mother, hemp, horse or even swearing, it's no wonder we try to speak Mandarin in China with some trepidation. But giving it a go is all part of the fun and as Intrepid's Rachel Wasser knows well, when all else fails, laughs prevail…
"One of the cities we visit on our Silk Road trip from Beijing to Kashgar, through the Xinjiang province in northwest China, is called Jiayuguan. Travellers in my groups often find it hard to get their tongues around this name. I don't know if people can't say Jiayuguan, or find it difficult to remember, but I pride myself on my Mandarin pronunciation skills and still when I say it to a local, they have no idea what I am talking about!
