http://mmajunkie.com A preliminary card bout between Erik Koch (11-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and Raphael Assuncao (16-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is a late addition to next month's UFC 128 event.
With both fighters losing their opponents (Cub Swanson and Manny Gamburyan, respectively) in other announced bouts, UFC officials have matched up the featherweights for UFC 128.
Sources close to the negotiations told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) verbal agreements are in place with bout agreements on the way. MMAWeekly.com first reported the fight.
UFC 128 takes place March 19 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Koch vs. Assuncao likely will remain on the untelevised preliminary card.
Assuncao, who initially was slated to fight Manny Gamburyan at UFC 128, makes his UFC debut after a five-fight stint for the company's now-shuttered sister-promotion, the WEC. Assuncao debuted for the WEC in 2009 with decision wins over Jameel Massouh and Yves Jabouin but was derailed in a No. 1 contender's fight with Urijah Faber. Assuncao was defeated again in a matchup with Diego Nunes but then bounced back with a victory over L.C. Davis.
Koch, who was slated to fight Cub Swanson next week at UFC on Versus 3, scored a November TKO win over Francisco Rivera and earned WEC 52's "Knockout of the Night" honors for the effort. The 22-year-old Duke Roufus-trained fighter closed out his WEC career with a 4-1 mark, and the lone loss came via decision to contender Chad Mendes in early 2010. Despite the rangy fighter's quick hands, Koch has registered seven submission wins among his 11 career victories.
The latest UFC 128 card now includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
- Champ Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Jon Jones (for light-heavyweight title)
- Urijah Faber vs. Eddie Wineland
- Jim Miller vs. Kamal Shalorus
- Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Nate Marquardt
- Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic vs. Brendan Schaub
PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)
- Luiz Cane vs. Eliot Marshall*
- Edson Barboza vs. Anthony Njokuani
- Ricardo Almeida vs. Mike Pyle
- Kurt Pellegrino vs. Gleison Tibau
- Joseph Benavidez vs. Ian Loveland
- Raphael Assuncao vs. Erik Koch*
- Nick Catone vs. Dan Miller

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Police are asking for your help in identifying four suspects sought in connection with an early morning New Year's Day assault on a Metrobus.
Police say they found one adult woman with stab wounds and a second adult woman with blunt force injuries to her head and back after they arrived on the scene of an altercation on a 93-route Metrobus at Martin Luther King, Jr. Ave. and W Street SE. Both victims were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
After an early investigation, police believe the four men boarded the bus in the area of 18th and Columbia Rd. NW in Adams Morgan. Once the bus arrived at 8th and G streets SE, two women passengers got involved in a verbal argument that escalated into a physical argument.
Metro released photos and descriptions of the four suspects who are all said to be black men between the ages of 19-22.
Metro Transit Police continue to investigate this incident by reviewing video evidence. If you have information, call Metro Transit Police at 202-962-2121.

Changing my baby has become a wrestling match. What can I do?
My 6-month-old won't lie still for his diaper change. He tries to roll over and grab everything. I've tried giving him toys and singing to him but all he does is fuss and squirm. Now he has a stomach bug and I have to change ten diapers a day, plus take the extra time for diaper rash ointment. Help!

There are times that no matter what tricks you have up your sleeve your baby is not interested in staying for the show. There are a few things that I have found helpful. Reserve a few small items (toys, spare keys, small book etc.) that the baby doesn't get to play with any other time. There are other times that just telling my 10 month old son that it's time to change his party pants and not rushing the whole business and making a small game of it, he puts up with the down time. Usually though, the best method is the afore mentioned "special toy" that holds their interest. The other unique item is the baby monitor. If you turn on the monitor in your room near a radio or TV, and let the baby hold the remote, they will be too busy listening to the "radio". Goooood Luck !!posted 08/25/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I have the same problem with my 10 month old son. I agree with UK Mummy to a Cheeky Monkey, my son too LOVES my cell phone! The problem is, last time I let him play with it, I got it back soaked in drool/spit and it no longer would take a charge and some of the buttons stopped working :( SOOOOO Here's one of the best suggestions I ever heard and that WORKED. Aside from giving him something to keep him still during a diaper change, my son loves this new toy in general. Check your local cell phone store, cingular or otherwis, and ask the clerk if they have any old display models (the plastic non working replicas of cell phones) that they can give you. The Cingular store here in town gave my son an old plastic Samsung phone and a Firefly phone and he thinks it's real LOL! He LOVES IT! He can chew all he wants, it's his! It's the best toy ever, and they think they got ahold of a "Grown up" toy. Most cell stores have TONS lying around in the back from old models no longer available!!!posted 08/25/2007 by chanirae81
If you are alone and don't have any one else to hold your baby still I found that if you change your baby on the floor sitting on your butt with baby between your legs ,gently place your toes on baby's shoulders to hold her still. Her arms have to be out so you don't squish her arms. She will not be able to roll and you will be done with the diaper in no time.posted 07/05/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I have the same problem with my 9 month old, and have tried most of the things already listed but they only work for a few days... my baby boy LOVES the phone so I let him hold it and replay all my old voicemails on speaker phone. He's transfixed!!posted 11/23/2006 by alexandersmummy
Rowena, My son is 8 months too and I do the exact same thing. The only way I can keep him in one position long enough to change him is to give him a clean diaper to hold!!!!!posted 10/21/2006 by Jackieboy06
i've learned how to change a diaper in every position my 8 month old daughter is in - crawling, seating, standing up(with support) turning , twisting -putting the diaper backwards is a skill a had to learn, now it takes no more than 10 seconds. trying to hold her down or convince to stay still was just impossible.posted 10/04/2006 by Yelena75
The most important thing to do that will help you get through this situation is to LAUGH. Having a sense of humor does help make a challenging changing time go a little faster. =]posted 07/05/2006 by Niblet_511
my daughter started doing that too! i've found that giving her the diaper while i'm taking off her clothes and wiping her keeps her still and makes her feel like a part off what i'm doing. she knows what to expect now and lies still for it.posted 07/05/2006 by BrandieW
what i find with my four month old, is tht she kicks ad smacks her hands, how babies do, and if i just talk to her and sing her a song, we can get done alot faster than going, "OH MY GOD MY BABY IS DANCING WAHHHH what do i do??" so i spend a great portion of my time just making up silly songs and singing them to her, throughout the day . while i do this, she is totally focused on only me, smiling, waiting, HOLDING STILL, to see what else i will do FOR her ( Actually for me!!)posted 01/15/2007 by bearcatskat
My 8 mth old does the same thing, her changing table is next to a window and all she wants to do is play with the blinds on her window. most of the time i will give her the strap to her changing pad and it works. for some reason she loves straps and buckles. other times i just tickle her on the opposite side she is rolling to get her to roll back. it takes awhile to change her, but soon she will be old enough to listen to what we are trying to tell them.posted 09/10/2007 by Mommy2Addi

- Abstract
- Spherically averaged potential energies of interaction between pairs of methane, carbon tetrafluoride and sulphur hexafluoride molecules have been determined as closely as possible using experimental gaseous viscosity data. Experimental second virial coefficients have then been used to estimate values of the first non zero multipole moment of these molecules. Third virial coefficients calculated with allowance for the triple dipole dispersion interaction agree well with experiment as do calculated self diffusion coefficients for methane.

The panel also agreed to require school districts to report when they conduct mandatory crisis drills and recommended the state allocate additional funds to help the districts pay for security measures such as reinforced entryways with ballistic glass, security cameras, solid core doors and buzzer systems. The lawmakers, however, left the amount up for debate considering the state is facing a budget crunch.
Rep. Andrew Fleischmann, D-West Hartford, the subcommittee's co-chairman, noted how lawmakers will not be able to issue recommendations that ensure "nothing terrible can ever happen again" at a Connecticut school. The Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School left 20 first-graders and six educators dead.
"I think that the spirit of this task force and these recommendations specifically is to say, 'Well, those things that we can catch early and that we can do that reduce the likelihood of something happening further downstream are what we want to aim for,'" Fleischmann said.
Members of the school security subcommittee of the General Assembly's Bipartisan Task Force on Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety agreed on Tuesday to a list of consensus recommendations to legislative leaders.
Two other subcommittees reviewing mental health programs and gun laws are still working on recommendations to legislative leaders.
Rep. Craig Miner, R-Litchfield, co-chairman of the gun violence subcommittee, said his panel may meet next week to discuss possible consensus proposals. He said Senate and House Democrats and Republicans have been informally discussing potential areas of agreement.
"Some people probably figure that gun owners and gun control advocates are 180 degrees from each other and I think that's not the case," said Miner, who believes there's common ground about more education and gun ownership, and the handling of gun crimes. But he said it's too early to tell if there will be consensus on some of the more hot-button issues, such as limits on ammunition magazine sizes and changes to the state's assault weapons ban.
Members of the school safety committee voiced concern on Tuesday about requiring school districts to spend money on certain personnel and infrastructure in wake of the shooting, saying the districts know best as to what they need and can afford. For example, subcommittee members did not agree to require districts to hire school safety officers, install specific security infrastructure or hire specific staff.
However, the subcommittee members plan to make it clear to districts that professionals are needed to provide intensive, individualized interventions for high-risk students who show signs of violence and to follow up with those students.
Last week, the subcommittee was told that the Sandy Hook shooting was unusual because most school shootings are committed by students.

A holiday tradition is returning to National
Harbor: A big white tent full of chilly fun for
whole family.
Michelle Basch, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – A holiday tradition is returning to National Harbor: A big white tent full of chilly fun for the whole family.
ICE!, created by the Gaylord National Hotel, is a collection of ice sculptures and ice slides.
Expert ice carvers from the city of Harbin, China have been brought in to build it. Harbin is internationally known for its annual "Ice and Snow Festival".
It takes 40 carvers 30 days to build the attraction from 2 million pounds of multicolored ice.
This year, ICE! is based on an animated holiday TV special called "Shrek the Halls."
"This is a story where Shrek doesn't really know how to celebrate the Christmas holidays, ogres don't celebrate Christmas, but his friends come together and show him the true meaning of Christmas. So our guests will experience that story as they walk through this attraction," says Gaylord National's Amie Gorrell.
WTOP's Michelle Basch was the first reporter to get a behind-the-scenes tour of ICE! She saw "life-size" ice carvings of Shrek the green ogre, Donkey, Puss in Boots and other favorites from the "Shrek" movies.
There's also a nativity scene made completely from crystal-clear ice.
In addition there are five ice slides, and they're not just for kids.
Gorrell says adults often have to be "nudged" to take a slide, but once they do, they don't regret it.
"Everyone turns into a kid again in the slide room," she says.
ICE! opens Nov. 16 and remains open daily through Jan. 6, 2013.
"People are often surprised to know that ICE! is even open on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. So after you've had your family meal or you've opened your presents, bring the whole family out," says Gorrell.
Ticket prices start at $15.99 for kids age 4 to 12, and $22.99 for people age 13 and over. Kids up to age 3 get in free, and there are special prices for seniors and members of the military and their families.
The ICE! Pavilion is kept at a constant 9 degrees, so every visitor is offered a special parka to wear during their visit. Visitors are urged to bring their own hats, scarves, gloves and boots to ensure they stay comfy.
More information is available on the Gaylord Hotels website.

I found out about it from a fireman friend of mine. Its is a members only kind of thing but if you are Fire EMS, Law Enforcement, Military, some federal employees, outdoor guides, outdoor retail and about a thousand other companies and organizations you can join. Its free and fairly easy to sign up for. They offer discounts on a huge selection of outdoor products from participating companies. They always have some sort of discount but once in a while they even run sales, I picked up some G5 broadheads for about 60% off during a sale last week. I know they have Eberlestock, Bushnell, Zeiss, Leupold and a lot of clothing companies as well. I have no ties to them but I figured if you qualify and didn't already know about it it's out there. Availability isn't always great as it seems like they probably get over stock stuff but there are some really good deals and I have been happy with the 4 or 5 things I have ordered through them.

From my script for The What are You Kidding Me Stories:
The Damson Dene Hotel may need to change its name to The Damned Dene Hotel because they have removed all…all of the Gideon Bibles out of their guest rooms and replaced them. They have replaced them with, ready for it, with Fifty Shades of Grey!
They have decided to share the story of Christian rather than the story of Christianity. The owner of the hotel said that he wanted to put in a book that the people would actually read. As you can imagine, there have been some complaints but there have also been a lot…a lot of silver ties being purchased from the gift shop.

throw expression
Signals an erroneous condition and executes an error handler.
throw expression
- See try-catch block for more information about try and catch (exception handler) blocks
1) The throw expression constructs a temporary object in unspecified storage, with the same type as
expression (with cv-qualifiers removed and the type converted from array of T to pointer to T and from function returning T to pointer to function returning T, as necessary), and initializes it from expression in the same manner as function arguments or return values are initialized from the function parameters or the argument of a return expression (i.e. copy elision and move construction take place if possible). The exception object persists until the last catch clause completes or until the last std::exception_ptr that references this object is destroyed.
Once the exception object is constructed, the control flow works backwards (up the call stack) until it reaches the start of a
try block, at which point the parameters of the associated
catch blocks are compared with the thrown expression to find a match. If no match is found, the control flow continues to unwind the stack until the next
try block, and so on. If a match is found, the control flow jumps to the matching
catch block (the exception handler), which executes normally.
As the control flow moves up the call stack, destructors are invoked for all objects with automatic storage duration constructed since the corresponding try-block was entered, in reverse order of construction. If an exception is thrown from a constructor, destructors are called for all fully-constructed non-static non-variant members and base classes. This process is called stack unwinding.
2) The throw-expression without an operand may only be used inside a catch block (it calls std::terminate if used otherwise). It abandons the execution of the catch block and passes control to the next matching catch clause up the call stack (but not to another catch clause after the same try block), reusing the existing exception object: no new objects are made.
See std::terminate and std::unexpected for the handling of errors that arise during exception handling.

A critical component of any IoT project is the back-end systems that capture data from remote IoT devices and structure it in a way to answer useful questions. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle large data sets, but they are not well suited to many IoT-scale products and the need for real-time insights. At Fuze, we have developed a backend platform as part of our mobility-oriented cloud service that uses Big Data-based approache...

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - We hit neighborhoods considered the height of hip, to find out: Is D.C. a "hip" place to live? Why take on this assignment?
The debate started with an article that appeared a month ago in The Atlantic Wire saying that "the city is not hip and it never will be."
Ever since, on the streets, and in some tweets, the hipness debate has raged on. Morgan Greenhouse, life-long Washingtonian, entrepreneur and founder of verdeHOUSE, is fighting back by promoting a new hashtag on Twitter: #hipDC. "It's really incredible when you walk to work every day and you pass the White House or you're at a party on a Saturday night and you look around and everyone there is there to change the world in one way or another," she said.
Greenhouse points to food trucks, start-ups and more. To be fair, we reached out to the Atlantic article's author, she wasn't available. But in the article, she points to one detracting factor: lots of young people in D.C. work for the government, or as she writes, "the man."
Phil Mcneal of Bethesda agrees. He said, "Lobbyists, lawyers, non- profit people, everyone's talking about politics, not hip at all."
Stephanie Vann of Northwest D.C. does too, saying, "I think it needs to support the arts more."
Ben Healey moved to Columbia Heights a few years ago. He says he thinks the nightlife is certainly hip, but then we read him the definition of the word from Merriam-Webster:
"Having or showing awareness of or involvement in the newest developments and styles"
Healey started to waver. He said, "If we're comparing it to a place that's as fashion forward as New York, it's tough to measure up fashion-wise."
To make his point, Healey pointed us toward what some call the "hip-strip:"11th Street. There we encountered the Wonderland Ballroom, part dive bar, part restaurant, and all hip.
Matthew Szymanski is the Executive Chef., "I would define hip as someone who's looking for that thing that's not cool yet, and they're ok in their own skin and they're willing to do what makes them feel good," he said.
What's more, Szymanski says judging D.C. is what's decidedly unhip.

world -- Print mappings between country names and DNS country codes. Contact: Barry Warsaw Email: email@example.com This script will take a list of Internet addresses and print out where in the world those addresses originate from, based on the top-level domain country code found in the address. Addresses can be in any of the following forms: xx -- just the country code or top-level domain identifier host.domain.xx -- any Internet host or network name firstname.lastname@example.com -- an Internet email address If no match is found, the address is interpreted as a regular expression [*] and a reverse lookup is attempted. This script will search the country names and print a list of matching entries. You can force reverse mappings with the `-r' flag (see below). For example: %% world tz us tz originated from Tanzania, United Republic of us originated from United States %% world united united matches 6 countries: ae: United Arab Emirates uk: United Kingdom (common practice) um: United States Minor Outlying Islands us: United States tz: Tanzania, United Republic of gb: United Kingdom [*] Note that regular expressions must conform to Python 1.5's re.py module syntax. The comparison is done with the search() method. Country codes are maintained by the RIPE Network Coordination Centre, in coordination with the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency at DIN Berlin. The authoritative source of counry code mappings is: <url:ftp://info.ripe.net/iso3166-countrycodes> The latest known change to this information was: Thu Aug 7 17:59:51 MET DST 1997 This script also knows about non-geographic top-level domains. Usage: world [-d] [-p file] [-o] [-h] addr [addr ...] --dump -d Print mapping of all top-level domains. --parse file -p file Parse an iso3166-countrycodes file extracting the two letter country code followed by the country name. Note that the three letter country codes and numbers, which are also provided in the standard format file, are ignored. --outputdict -o When used in conjunction with the `-p' option, output is in the form of a Python dictionary, and country names are normalized w.r.t. capitalization. This makes it appropriate for cutting and pasting back into this file. --reverse -r Force reverse lookup. In this mode the address can be any Python regular expression; this is matched against all country names and a list of matching mappings is printed. In normal mode (e.g. without this flag), reverse lookup is performed on addresses if no matching country code is found. -h --help Print this message. Local Variables: indent-tabs-mode: nil End:

The Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, SMZ, has come into conclusion to make a thorough review of the football association's constitution.
The move has been announced by the Deputy Minister for Information, Tourism, Culture and Sports, Bihindi Ali Hamad, when he was responding to a query posed by the Rahaleo member of the House of Representatives, Nassor Salim Ali, during a session currently going on at Chukwani Zanzibar yesterday.
He said the constitutional review has been underway by the registrar of sports with a view to iron out discrepancies that has been haunting the football association.
The deputy minister said once the job is complete then a possible relief is expected.
He said the current constitution has a lot of pot holes which constitutes to the falling standard of football in Zanzibar.
Hamad told House of Representatives here that the constitution in use has been breeding a number of conflicts and account for the biggest part of football downfall across the Island.
"The registrar of sports has started to work on the amendments in the constitution and upon completion we expect to have a refined one that would meet the satisfaction of the football fraternity here," said the deputy minister.
In a related development, the deputy minister confirmed an existing binding cooperation between the Isles Sports Council and the Zanzibar Football Association.
The chairperson of the sports council has been providing consultancy services in reviewing all contractual agreements the ZFA has been making with a number of sponsors.
Hamad said the ministry has been taking bold steps to assist the ZFA in looking for sponsors who would help in supporting the premier soccer league.
Hamad categorically declared that most of the soccer stakeholders throughout the Zanzibar Islands, including President Ali Mohamed Shein, are not happy with the down falling standard of the game.
Lack of premiership sponsorship has been largely contributing the uprising of conflicts in the football game.
However, he urged business community and other stakeholders to support the development of football so as to raise the standard.
"We can not keep mum and let the situation deteriorate as this would eventually backfire to us," said the deputy minister.
Hamad confirmed to the House of Representatives that the situation within the ZFA has drastically improved after Government intervention in recent months.
"We are still working hard to iron out some differences within the ZFA secretariat with an absolute target of improving our standard of soccer," said the deputy minister.
The current ZFA leadership has been capitalizing on the constitutional flaw to stay in power for decades now.

The North Carolina General Assembly is coming back to work, and this time legislators will be in Raleigh for a while.
The House and Senate reconvene Wednesday three weeks after they met for one day to elect leaders and take oaths of office for the next two years.
Now the 170 lawmakers are expected to gather four days a week or longer probably until June.
Majorities in the legislature are more Republican than they were two years ago, and new GOP Gov. Pat McCrory now resides in the Executive Mansion, so vetoes are likely to be rare compared to former Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue.
Legislative leaders say they want to improve public education, scale back regulations and overhaul the tax system in part through lower income tax rates.

Ted and I hopped in the mini w/ Huey and headed to Corpus Christi. This will be our 3 road trip to CC. Just a few hours east from ATX, you end up in Corpus Christi/Upper Padre Island with GOOD TIMES to be had! It's definitely a great weekend get away. Whether you want to relax or check out lots of fun CC has to offer, there's something for everyone. A great site to see what's up in Corpus Christi is www.visitcorpuschristitx.org The perfect place to plan a fun family trip, couples getaway, fun w/ the friends, or whatever the occasion.. maybe to just relax.. this is the site to go to before you head to CC.
We enjoy staying at the Omni Hotel because they allow dogs under 25lbs, which is perfect for Huey because he loves to go and be part of the trip too! There's a $50 pet deposit that is non-refundable, which is much more affordable than boarding your pet. Huey is our furry kid, so we like to have him along for the ride. He made himself at home as you can see in the photo. He's such a CUTIE HAM!!
This time in CC we hit the Texas State Aquarium, the U.S.S Lexington and the Art Museum of South Texas that has the most fabulous Hester's Cafe w/ YUMMY food/treats. A great place for breakfast/lunch. We also checked out a new attraction, or new to us...Hurricane Alley Waterpark. It's 1 year anniversary was just celebrated! It's a must go, especially if you have kiddos! They will LOVE IT! Of course, I got some Corpus Christi beach time in.
Check out the video and get a sneak peak of the good times you can have in Corpus Christi/Upper Padre Island this summer!
I suggest doing dinner at Harrison's Landing on the pier. It's family owned! Their food is yummy. I had a red snapper wrap w/ their yummy french fries! You can eat inside or outside on the pier. We went for the pier, which seemed to be positioned great for eating outside since it's usually breezy in Corpus Christi. They have a cool gift shop w/ things you don't see anywhere else, and at a good price too. You can also schedule up a day of sailing w/ Harrison Landing. I haven't done that yet, maybe next trip! I'm going to have to try out their breakfast, after catching a glimpse of their menu!
Click the 'Stay & Play' photo to get in on this deal. IT ROCKS!
Maybe next time I'll just chill and do nothing.... nah that won't happen. I want to check these 2 things out next trip to Corpus Christi. Funtrackers and take a sandcastle class... COOL! So much fun stuff to do in Corpus Christi & Upper Padre Island with your honey, family, friends...

Part-time fighter Rob Sinclair made another step toward international recognition by defending his BAMMA lightweight title over four-time UFC veteran Andre Winner.
Sinclair used distance control and powerful countershots to outpoint Winner, who took too long to settle into a groove and paid the price in a split-decision loss.
The matchup served as the headlining contest of Saturday's BAMMA 10 event, which took place at London's Wembley Arena and aired in North America on AXS TV.
Winner opened with his hands low and stayed at range while looking to use his length to his advantage. Sinclair eventually closed the distance and moved into the clinch, but Winner broke free and reset in the center. Still, Winner was hesitant in his standup, and it was Sinclair who landed first, instead. Sinclair landed an illegal punch to the groin, forcing a short stoppage, but he then landed a pair of takedowns in the restart, as well as a few punches and elbows inside when Winner returned quickly to his feet. Winner finished strong with a crisp hook, but it was his only significant offense of the round.
Sinclair continued to be first to the punch as the second frame opened, and he was able to navigate the distance with ease. Winner continued to stalk, but he simply didn't seem comfortable in the pocket, and Sinclair was the fighter who was scoring most frequently. Winner seemed to make an adjustment in the final minute of the frame, but he was obviously giving away rounds.
Winner was busier in the third, but Sinclair continued to manage the cage well by backing away and leaping in with shots when openings were available. Winner did land a crisp knee when Sinclair shot in, and a right hand scored flush shortly after. Winner continued to stay busy as the round closed, and Sinclair was happy to answer back with several power shots in what represented the most back-and-forth action of the fight to that point.
The pace continued to build in the fourth. Sinclair opened with several crisp power shots, but Winner appeared to hit his groove and landed straight punches followed by kicks. Winner scored a takedown halfway in, but Sinclair popped up and avoided any damage on the floor. Sinclair continue to land throw power shots as he walked backward, but the volume striking was all Winner. Both fighters let their hands hang low as the round carried on, and Sinclair's counters bloodied Winner's face. But the round ended with Winner pushing the pace and Sinclair settling for opportunistic counters.
The fifth round opened with a hug before each fighter landed in the early going. Winner still looked the fresher fighter, but Sinclair countered well with power punches and knees in the clinch. Winner pumped the jab to close and chased his opponent, but the knockout blow never came, and he did not allow himself to link together meaningful combinations. Winner threatened to steal the fight in the closing seconds with a flash knockdown and several thunderous punches on the floor, but the bell sounded before he could close the deal.
In the end, the scores were as close as the action, and Sinclair retained his belt via split decision, 49-46, 47-48 and 48-47.
Sinclair (12-2) is now on a five-fight winning streak. Winner (14-7-1) loses for the first time in three BAMMA appearances.
After missing weight at Friday's weigh-ins, former BAMMA British middleweight champion knew he wasn't going to leave the cage on Saturday with a belt wrapped around his waist, but that didn't stop him from turning in an impressive performance against challenger Andrew Punshon
Punshon opened up with a flying knee but quickly shot successfully in for a takedown. Marsham nearly scored a slick reversal, but Punshon instead defended the attempt and then passed into side control. However, Marshman, alertly went to guard and threatened with a triangle choke and armbar. After a few tense moments, Punshon settled back in top. Hie punches opened a cut over Marshman's right eye, but the former champ and noted striker surprised his opponent with another tight attempt at a triangle choke. Punshon tried to punch out of the hold, but he was forced to tap to the pressure just past the halfway point of the opening frame.
The win served as just the second submission victory of Marshman's (11-1) career, and he'll now likely compete agains for the title he was forced to vacate. Punshon (11-6) falls to 1-2 in his past three fights.
Denniston Sutherland outlasts gritty "Leeroy" Barnes
In the night's first main-card matchup middleweight Denniston "Mad Max" Sutherland earned a hard-fought decision win over fellow Englishman Lee "Leeroy" Barnes.
The first frame was a back-and-forth affair. Barnes stalked in the early going, walking forward as Sutherland looked to dart in and out of range. Shortly after, they moved into the clinch, and Sutherland scored with a series of knees that seemed to do some real damage. Barnes covered up and seem to regain his wits before elevating his opponent and slamming him to the floor. However, he wasn't able to keep his opponent pinned to the floor.
Back on the feet, Barnes rolled for a kneebar, but it wasn't there, and Sutherland used the opportunity to settle into top position. However, Barnes eventually scrambled to the top, where he finished the round.
In the second, the muscular Barnes looked a little winded, and Sutherland was able to avoid a few haymakers and return fire of his own. After slipping one power hook, Sutherland pushed the action to the floor, but Barnes powered out from underneath and reversed into the mount. As Sutherland scrambled underneath, Barnes looked for an arm-in guillotine. However, Sutherland popped out and worked ground-and-pound from top position for the remainder of the round. Big elbows were the most dangerous strikes of the round, and Barnes was bloodied as he went to his corner.
Sutherland took over in the third frame and kept the pressure high with punches and knees in the clinch. Barnes created occasional space to wing knockout blows, but he was unable to connect flush. He did score a big takedown in the final 90 seconds, but Sutherland again reversed the action and finished the fight in top position and was awarded the unanimous decision with a clean sweep of all three judges' cards.
With the win, Sutherland (18-8) is now riding a two-fight win streak. Meanwhile, Barnes (10-10) falls to 1-2 in his past three appearances.
- Champ Rob Sinclair def. Andre Winner via split decision (49-46, 47-48, 48-47)
- Jack Marshman def. Andrew Punshon via submission (triangle choke) – Round 1, 2:31
- Denniston Sutherland def. Lee Barnes via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Using Class Suffixes
From Joomla! Documentation
Revision as of 12:14, 13 January 2009 by Dextercowley (Talk | contribs)
This article is actively undergoing a major edit for a short while.
As a courtesy, please do not edit this page while this message is displayed. The user who added this notice will be listed in the page history. This message is intended to help reduce edit conflicts; please remove it between editing sessions to allow others to edit the page. If this page has not been edited for several hours, please remove this template, or replace it with {{underconstruction}} or {{incomplete}}.
This tutorial will show you how to use Page, Module, and Menu Class Suffixes in Joomla! 1.5 to fine-tune the appearance of your site. For the tutorial, we will assume you have the Joomla! 1.5.9 Sample site available.
Joomla! creates HTML pages that use Cascading Style Sheets to control the appearance of the page. This includes things like fonts, colors, margins, and background. The CSS files are part of your template.
When Joomla! creates a page, it creates different CSS classes that are then referenced in the CSS file to specify which style will apply to which parts of the HTML page. These class names are pre-programmed into Joomla!. But Joomla! allows you to modify or add CSS classes by way of the Class Suffix parameters. This lets you fine-tune the appearance of specific pages with no programming and very little work. The best way to understand this is to see specific examples.
When Would You Use a Class Suffix?
Say, for example, that your website contains a number of Section Blog layouts, each for a different Section. If you are happy to have all of these pages styled the same way, then you wouldn't need to use a Page Class Suffix. However, say you want each of these sections styled differently than the others. For example, maybe you want a different background color or image for each different section.
If you modify the styling for the standard CSS classes in the Section Layout, it will affect all of the Section Layout Menu Items in the same way. However, using a different Page Class Suffix on each Section Layout Menu Item will allow you to create different CSS classes for each individual Menu Item so you can style these differently.
Page Class Suffix
Before you start, make sure you have the Joomla! sample website available. Also, make sure the default template is set to "rhuk_milkyway" (in the Extensions → Template Manager).
How It Works Without a Page Class Suffix
Before we add a Page Class Suffix, let's see how this pages works without one. In the front end, navigate to Example Pages → Section Blog. In your browser, select the option to view the page source code. For example, in Firefox, press Ctrl+U. In Internet Explorer, select View → Source. In Safari, select View → View Source.
Using the "Find" command, find the first occurrence of the word "componentheading". It should look like the following:

Browse down the file and find the following tags:

Note: The following screenshots were made using the free Firefox add-in called "Firebug". Firebug allows you to quickly see the relationship between the HTML elements in your source and the text and graphics shown on the page. It is a very handy tool, and you can get it here.
The screenshot below shows you the "componentheading" class. It is the page title area above the blog article.
This screenshot shows you the entire "blog" class. This is the outer table into which all of the articles will fit.
The next screenshot shows you the "contentpaneopen" class for an article heading. This includes the article title and the PDF, Print, and Email icons to the right.
This screenshot shows you the "contentpaneopen" class for the body of the article. This includes the author and date information as well as the actual article text.
So this gives us a good understanding of how Joomla! allows us to style the elements on a Section Blog layout. Joomla! writes out these classes as part of the HTML. And the template contains CSS that provides the styling information for these various elements and classes.
Page Class Suffix (No Space)
Now that we see how this works without a Page Class Suffix, let's try it with one. In the back end, navigate to Menus → Example Pages and click on "Section Blog". This should display the "Menu Item: [Edit]" screen for the Section Blog Layout. Click Parameters (System) to show the System Parameters. In the "Page Class Suffix" field enter the value "_myBlogSuffix" and click the Save button.
Now, go back to the front end and again navigate to Example Pages → Section Blog. Notice right away that we lost the styling for the page and article titles. Let's look closer to see why.
Using the browser "Find" command, find the first occurrence of "_myBlogSuffix". It is in a "div" tag and looks like this:

If you look through the source, you should also see the following classes:
contentpaneopen_myBlogSuffix, and
By adding the Page Class Suffix, we changed all of these class names. That means that special styling in the CSS file that refers to the "base" class names (like componentheading, blog, and so on) will not be applied, since those classes no longer exist on the page.
Now, you can fix this problem by editing your templates CSS file to add the same styling for the new classes (for example, "componentheading_myBlogSuffix"). But there is a much easier way to do this -- simply by adding a leading space to the parameter.
Page Class Suffix (With a Leading Space)
Again in the back end, go back to Menus → Example Pages → Section Blog. We're going to change the value of the Page Class Suffix. This time we're going to enter in a leading space and call it <space> + "myBlogClass".
Now, go back to the front end and re-display the Example Pages → Section Blog. Notice that our styling is back! Let's look at the HTML source to see what is going on. Open the source and find the first occurrence of "myBlogClass". It should like this:

Because we put a leading space in the Page Class Suffix, we created a second class instead of changing the name of the first class (which is allowed and supported by all modern browsers). So we didn't break any of the existing CSS styling for this page. (One warning: we need to make sure the new class name is different than any of the other class names used on the page. Otherwise, we might get styling we don't want.)
Add CSS Styling to New Class
At this point, we've created a new CSS class in the HTML to allow for some new styling. Now we need to use this new class to actually change the look of our page. The first thing we need to do is find the applicable CSS file. In this case, it is
Let's say we want to add a background color, but only to this specific Section Blog. (Remember, if we wanted to just change all of the Section Blog pages in our site, we could just change the CSS styling for the base classes, such as "componentheading" or "blog".) We need to do is figure out which area ("componentheading", "blog", or "contentpaneopen") we want to style. Say we just wanted to style the "componentheading" area.
First, let's use the CSS selector "div.myBlogClass" and add the following code to the end of our CSS file:
/* Custom Styling */ div.myBlogClass { background-color: #FFE4E1; /* mistyrose */ }
The result is that the page heading now has the background color, as shown below.
Now this works fine in our example, because the other classes are defined for "table" tags and not "div" tags. But it is normally better to be more specific in our style selector by styling only those elements that have both the desired base class and the new class. For example, let's replace the code above with the following code:
/* Custom Styling */ .blog.myBlogClass { background-color: #FAFAD2; /* lightgoldenrod */ }
This specifies that the new style will only be applied to elements that have both the "blog" and the "myBlogClass" styles. This gives us the background color over the entire "blog" area, as shown below.
The great thing about creating a new class (with the leading space trick) is that we don't need to copy all of the existing styling for the base classes. We can just focus on the new styling that we want.
Now in this example, we focused on the Section Blog layout. The exact class names for different components might be different, but the process will be the same.
So, to sum up what we have learned about using the Page Class Suffix parameter:
- Use a leading space to create a new CSS class. This way you don't have to worry about re-doing or breaking existing CSS styles.
- Look in the HTML source code to find the locations of the base and new classes.
- If desired, use Firebug to see which HTML elements correspond to which areas on the page.
- Add custom styling to the end of the "template.css" file, specifying both the name of the desired base class and the custom class in the form
.baseclass.customclassas in the example above.

New metrics for customer service?
What if engagement = revenue?
An interesting white paper crossed my desk last week, so I thought I'd pass along a few points for discussion purposes.
"The Crossroads of Customer Metrics and Strategy in the Utility Sector: A Case for Alternative Metrics" was written by Jamie Wimberly, CEO of DEFG and EcoAlign, which puts out a regular series of findings in the customer engagement space.
As always, I'd recommend reading the paper itself, but I'll provide the paper's opening setup, then segue to some suggested, alternative metrics.
Customer service is evolving to accommodate changes wrought by smarter grids and "utility industry stakeholders are questioning traditional customer service metrics as indicators of performance," the paper begins.
Under traditional metrics, a utility could be providing excellent customer service, yet see its scores drop due to rising energy prices or storm-related outages—i.e., external factors. Or a utility may sacrifice customer service resources (due to budget constraints, e.g.) without seeing a dip in scores.
Some traditional metrics are at odds with each other, Wimberly argues in the paper. While some metrics focus on speed, others—such as first-contact resolution—may contribute to deepening the customer relationship. Surveys by DEFG have shown that utility customers prefer to spend more time on the phone with a customer service representative than to make repeated calls.
"If utilities cannot impact the outcome, how relevant is the metric?" the paper asked, rhetorically. "There's an expectation that elevated levels of customer engagement will be required to meet regulatory mandates and utility business objectives in the future. Customers are expected to become an integral part of the resource portfolio. Engagement is built and earned through trust. How, then, is trust in the utility to be measured?"
These are big questions, obviously, and the paper spends a half-dozen pages providing suggested answers. I'll try to capture the flavor of the thinking here.
First, utilities don't have to re-invent the wheel, because the cable television and telecommunications industries have found that customer engagement "begins with accountability, trust and passion (emotional ties), as well as the functional requirements of the interaction."
That said, the paper zeroes in on first contact resolution (FCR) as "becoming the single most important measure." Another metric—a measure of a customer's "ease of doing business"—is gaining ground in the form of a customer effort score or CES.
"In other words," the paper continues "what is the level of effort required to interact/transact with your company?"
While traditional metrics have focused internally on the effectiveness, including cost-effectiveness, of utility efforts at various customer touch points, the new trend focuses on measuring how well one meets customer expectations.
Aligning traditional measures with these new ones could provide utilities with a view of the overall "customer experience," the paper argues—though making that transition may be difficult while utilities "remain rooted in a regulatory structure that treats the utility's customer service costs as operating expenses with limited to no opportunity to earn a return."
"Right time metrics" used in other service sectors are designed to align "the right option with the right customer through the right channel at the right time," the paper continues. "Through this prism, customer metrics need to be more forward-looking, even predictive and tied increasingly to a customer of one rather than the traditional view of treating all customers the same."
So, how would investing time and money on new customer metrics improve customer satisfaction while lowering costs? The paper lists tactical benefits such improved levels of trust, but also fuller use of smart grid and customer-facing assets that drive efficiencies and better visibility into customer behavior with real-time impacts.
Those impacts might be improved predictions of how well customers might respond to, say, a demand response program so as to "measure and predict earnings potential as part of the resource portfolio."
In other words, customer service as a potential revenue-related function as opposed to a cost center, subject only to cost-cutting based on efficiencies.
The potential for developing new metrics for customer satisfaction will rely on four concepts, the paper argues: ease of doing business, performance, trust and transparency. Efforts in those areas may pay dividends as utilities seek to become "trusted energy advisors."
The argument makes a lot of sense to me. How about you?
