Nate Diaz has better stand up than Joe Rogan☻
BiteMyBird May 7, 2013
Nick pushing that guy trying to hug him at the end was the best part.
"****ing Hawaiians"-Nate Diaz
drewblood May 7, 2013
does not work well with others.
never heard the 'he's wet' complaint before… hmm… maybe they're onto somethin.
sleeping dawg May 7, 2013
Where did nick get this guy? the strait off the streets of Stockton?
KungFuLowKick May 7, 2013
Bunch of Yes Man whiny retards.
High stakes May 7, 2013
just for the record thats nate diaz…lol not crazy about these guys but they are badass knuckle heads
someone0001 May 7, 2013
I can't believe Diaz's team would put this out. Did Diaz's team put this out?
Is Cesar in there talking shit about BJ then goes and holds BJ's hand up like good fight? I understand emotions are high, and things come out. After your partner/friend wins you go back to a normal person, you don't release shit like this afterwards shitting on people.
This also confirms to me that the old guy (Richard Perez, boxing coach) doesn't like the shit talking bullshit and would possibly jump ship if a better offer came. He just seems embarrassed by Nick a lot.
sdgh May 7, 2013
That guy?? Come on man thats ****in braulio estima!
T'Challa May 7, 2013
Nate Diaz is a bitch, straight up. He got knocked the fk out by Josh Thompson, and then he has the nerve to dis him after the fight saying he made "lady noises". He calls out Pettis, and Pettis basically laughs him off and says Nate is an easy payday. And his barely Mexican a$$ thinks it's okay to call a Black man that he doesn't know personally a "nigga".
Diaz bros are kind of pathetic, they lose fights, then whine and complain and say they deserve a rematch. At least with Sonnen it's all an act..
greengiant May 7, 2013
Nick won the penn fight on being tough and walking him down like always,wearing him out. Penn is a better boxer for sure.
marvelous mad madam mim May 7, 2013
@green yep man if penn had cardio like the diego fight he would of wrecked diaz
dirty hawaiians lol
vic77 May 7, 2013
Makes sense that he's diaz's cornerman….birds of a feather…
KungFuLowKick May 7, 2013
The 1st round was all Penn.Diaz could barely touch him.I still think BJ could've been the best ever if he took his cardio an body more seriously.He's insanely skilled but one of the worst body in MMA for a LW.Everytime he loses it's because of his cardio.
yada yada May 8, 2013
I want to hear what the Nate Diaz corner said when he got knocked the f*&@ out.
Tear May 8, 2013
Nick Diaz just beat Penn at his best and Condit, his only loss in his last 10 fights was to GSP. Give the guy some credit.
ccll May 8, 2013
3:40 prety funny
YOUEFFSEE May 8, 2013
Yo **** everyone who dissed Nick/Nate and his team, dudes were getting wet to avoid sweeps in the clich and takedowns and punches that is bitch shit.. if you fight for a living you fight, COndi was too afrai d to trade and box obvs, Gracie was taking money so **** him too. the corner guy is funny aside the racial slur but just like stockon or any impoverished place nigga is a right of passage for speaking to anyone, its sad but its the world we live in. I'm glad they put this out there, BJ was soaked by rd 2 and condit just ran.. Thompson did TKO him but here is the thing that shows He showed up to "fight" not run like a bitch, that is why Condit got GSP and got his ass whipped by a hurt GSP he landed one head kick and dude was like **** this im going to lay him to sleep now. If you never have been in a fist fight you have no biz stating your view on this shit niggas
pangea12 May 8, 2013
Maybe Diaz's people should have stopped complaining and talking like 15 year olds and tried to think about changing the strategy against Condit.
EXPm May 8, 2013
Diaz pushed Braulio because of the crap that he talked after the NO GI super fight that they will supposed to fight on some grappling tournament. Diaz didn't showed up to the tournament.
ericsson May 8, 2013
who's the guy did he push ??
anyway Nick is ****ing done man!!! he can not beat the top dogs
and complains constantly
Meat Drapes May 8, 2013
For empty headded tough guys they sure complain like little girls.
Low class bottom feeders. Sure they are great fighters but outside of that have no real skills in life.
pdid May 8, 2013
diaz brothers come to box, and keep the "fight" going, very few fighters have the heart they do. i dont know why everyone is so worked up about personalities where watching fights boys.
pourmis May 8, 2013
The thing with the Diaz is that I can never tell if they are just plain f…ing stupid retards or they just don't care and say and do whatever goes through their head. for some reason their behavior makes me laugh my ass off. Merci Bruno t'assure grave a tjrs poster d putain video.
sifu doomerson May 8, 2013
thanks Bruno
Adonis May 8, 2013
That Braulio Estima part was the best,.. shook his hand and then slapped it away. hahahahha
JB May 8, 2013
Here's a sentence I never thought I would ever need to type: I completely agree with Meat Drapes.
Kiko May 8, 2013
one more loss for Nate and they gotta cut his ass! no exceptions! GTFO with your bro you bum!!!!!! bad losers!!!! stay in the ghetto where you belong you BUMS!!!!!
FailSonnen May 9, 2013
Yeah Braulio was the guy Nick was supposed to grapple with at the BJJ event that he canceled
dirtysue May 9, 2013
i like braulio estima a lot especially after he recovered from breaking his neck to beat jacare (adcc 2009 – he has a mini doc on youtube), but it looks like he probably said something to diaz and diaz was like "not the time mutha ****a" and in true diaz style shoved him away and did the right thing and raise GSP's hand…
I like braulio a lot but it wasn't the time if he did actually say something about their grappling match, the guy just lost the fight of his life…
bd May 11, 2013
Condit used excellent footwork and outstruck Nick Diaz? If you are in a fight why on earth would you let someone press you against the cage and hit you when you can not only land shots, but avoid their attack? Carlos is a better fighter than Diaz is. Diaz won't do anything in the UFC. He beat BJ Penn, sure. Condit beat Diaz, and beat him effectively. Then when he fought GSP, he got ragdolled. Don't even get me started on Nate. Melendez is the only fighter from their camp that could capture the title, and he would've if he didn't coast in the later rounds.

My Twin Sister Says I'm Fat

Dear Prudence,
My fraternal twin sister always has something to say about my weight. I was the really skinny one growing up. My sister was always a tad chunky, not fat. I never picked on her, but she was always picking on me. Now we're adults, I have had three children, and I am chunky right along with her. She will lose weight for a little while and gain it right back. I have a larger waist, while she has a larger bottom half. I never say anything to her about her hips or her butt, but one day the topic of underwear came up. I happen to wear a couple of sizes smaller than she does. She thought I was lying about it. I don't know what to tell her anymore when it comes to weight. She always treated it as a competition, while I couldn't care less. What should I say to her?
—Guts and Butts
Dear Guts,
When the topic of your respective weights comes up, you need a nonconfrontational way to make clear this is a subject about which you both need to butt out of each other's lives. Of course it's hard to be the less intelligent, athletic, or attractive sibling. This would be all the more difficult if the person you are being compared to is your twin. But your childhood was long ago, and you're not even skinny anymore—and fine about it!—so it's way past time for your sister to let this go. Next time she brings up weight, tell her that there are so many more interesting things in life than the respective circumference of each of your stomachs and rear ends. Say that if she just looks around she will see that everyone's body is different and people's shapes often differ over time. And on that note, you'd like to permanently close the discussion of who wears the smallest underpants.
Dear Prudence: Stop Poaching My Dessert!
Dear Prudence,
My twin, Tweedledee, and I used to be very close, have the same friends, go to the same places, and share everything. Then I messed up when I was 17 and got pregnant. I didn't tell Dee first. I told our older sister, then the rest of the family. I was the center of attention for several months. I ended up putting the baby into an open adoption, and things worked out beautifully. Except that afterward it seemed Dee had grown to hate me. Every word out of her mouth to me was terse and sarcastic, and everything I did set her off. After several years of this, Dee got some new friends and moved on with her life. I eventually found my own clique, including my future husband, and have been very happy. For the last five years, Dee and I have worked in the same office. On the surface you'd think that everything is fine, but I feel I put in all the effort to make our relationship work. I want her to realize that I didn't get pregnant all those years ago on purpose to hurt her and that she is wrong for holding it against me. What is the best way to resolve unspoken resentment?
Dear Tweedledum,
It seems clear that Tweedledee experienced your telling your older sister first about the pregnancy as a massive betrayal. That was compounded by your life-changing event and the inevitable attention you got. It's understandable that you would seek the counsel of an older person in this situation. It's also understandable that your twin felt left behind by you. Sadly, she responded in a vicious, immature way. Even though things have been papered over, there is so much psychic scar tissue that your relationship has never been the same. Given the amount of time that has passed and the patterns that have been established, it may be too late to undo this. You might have to accept that while you are cordial to each other, your intimacy cannot be re-established. But it's worthwhile to see whether you can go from a coolly correct relationship to a warmly caring one. Take your sister out to dinner and tell her you want to have what might be a painful discussion, but it's something you wish you'd done years ago. Say that a chasm opened up between the two of you during your pregnancy. Acknowledge that you think a big part of it was your not telling her first. Tell her that if you're right about that, at the time you were dealing with shame and fear, and felt your older sister was the worldliest person you could turn to. Explain how painful your strained relationship has been and that you're sad to think maybe it will never be repaired. Tell your sister you've missed the closeness you two once shared and are hoping there's still a chance to get some of it back.
Dear Prudence,
My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year and a half. All is good except that his twin brother hates me. He refuses to give a reason for this and won't speak to me about it. He and his girlfriend ignore me at family events and make things very uncomfortable for me. I didn't have a problem with his brother until he called one of my gay friends the F word. He's refused to apologize or acknowledge that he was disrespectful. My boyfriend has spoken to him and I've reached out to him to no avail. I don't want to marry into a family that treats people like this, and I certainly don't want my family and friends to be around a bigot. My boyfriend and I have talked about engagement, but the situation with his brother has deteriorated and I've put all engagement plans on hold. What advice do you have?
—Twin Trouble
Dear Trouble,
Unless you're leaving something out, the reason your boyfriend's twin brother and his girlfriend hate you is that you called him out on his hatefulness. I hope you did it with some restraint so as not to escalate the ugliness. But however you expressed your displeasure, you were well within your rights to speak up on behalf of a friend and against crude bigotry. However, the twin's behavior is becoming ridiculous if both you and his brother have attempted to smooth things over. Genes are funny, aren't they? Here you are, in love with a decent guy, and his twin brother is a crude loudmouth. But your boyfriend's twin is just one person and his lousy behavior should not determine the course of your life. Many people have had happy marriages and good relations with the bulk of the relatives while getting along coolly, or not at all, with one or two. Be cordial and polite to the twin and his girlfriend. If they get pleasure out of carrying a grudge, let them be stuck with the full load.

Up until the 17th century or so, Architects used to be referred to as "Master Builders". They were the experts on everything; they were the ones people went to for the design and construction of their desired building.
Over the course of the centuries, things evolved. The construction process became quite a bit more advanced and complex, and it needed a lot of specialization. Architects got further and further away from the building process, builders got further and further away from design, and both seemed to move forward "doing their own thing" coming together in the same room when only absolutely necessary. Today, designers often end up on one side of the fence and contractors on the other, and there can be considerable tension between the two.
When building a house or undertaking a remodeling project – you would want both the designers and the contractors BOTH on YOUR side of the fence, right?
In the traditional "design-bid-build" system, design changes that are made involve a lot of time and energy. At Meadowlark, the Design Department interacts with the Construction Department immediately, and we immediately get started on problem solving any issues that arise during any part of the process. Working together has many advantages – all helping move the project along and saving you precious time and money.
While we firmly believe Design/Build is the best way for anyone to get the most out of their project, there are a few different ways to go about it. While we enjoy working with outside designers regularly, our Design/Build structure at Meadowlark also gives you many advantages:
- Design and construction are integrated early – information flows seamlessly between designer, builder and tradesman during ALL phases of building.
- There is a single source of accountability for the entire project which is a great motivator for overall job success. Owner's risk is minimized.
- The schedule is reduced with the design and construction phases overlapping, and bidding phase eliminated.
- We have the ability to evaluate alternative designs, materials and methods efficiently and accurately – all in real time, which prevents false starts.
- We are experts at "value-engineering" – working with plans to wring the best project out of the available budget.
- We evaluate costs constantly as construction personnel are engaged early in the process.
- Discussing budget during the design phase instead of waiting for bids to come in keeps project in a realistic budget.
- Enhanced communication – problems can be solved by walking down the hall. There are not costly delays in coordinating meetings.
- Quality control, all with one team – focus remains on building the best project for our clients. Responsibility for defects or non-performance cannot be shifted to another party.
- We are solely responsibility for delivering the budget, schedule and quality of workmanship you expect.
- You can avoid potential adversarial relationships.
- Design and Construction work as a Team. YOUR team!

Search marketing is an intense and competitive battlefield, and for those of us in the trenches it can feel like being dropped in an unknown location without a map or GPS to guide us.
To date, the ability to track actual consumer behavior from a search to a click has been virtually non-existent. Because search engine results pages (SERPs) are different for every consumer based on past search behavior, location and social connections, capturing competitive intelligence is increasingly difficult. For search marketers, this means little to no visibility into what is happening on the SERP such as who is listed first or what words were used to perform the search.

T2108 Update – March 13, 2012 (A Convincing Breakout But I Am Still A Queasy Bull)
(T2108 measures the percentage of stocks trading above their respective 40-day moving averages [DMAs]. To learn more about it, see my T2108 Resource Page. You can follow real-time T2108 commentary on twitter using the #T2108 hashtag. T2108-related trades and other trades are posted on twitter using the #120trade hashtag)
T2108 Status: 73%
VIX Status: 14.7%
General (Short-term) Trading Call: Strong bullish bias – see below for more details and an explanation!
Reference Charts (click for view of last 6 months from Stockcharts.com):
S&P 500 or SPY
SDS (ProShares UltraShort S&P500)
U.S. Dollar Index (volatility index)
VIX (volatility index)
VXX (iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN)
EWG (iShares MSCI Germany Index Fund)
A picture can say a 1000 words, and a stock chart can broadcast a 1000 lessons. I started this T2108 Update with these two charts because, in my mind, they perfectly symbolize the bullish significance of today's trading. Buyers FINALLY stepped up in force to power the S&P 500 higher. The 1.8% gain on the day featured higher than average volume, a breakout to near four-year highs, and a close at the highs of the day. The market simply cannot get more bullish than this on a single trading day. A stellar trifecta. Apple (AAPL) clearly led the way for the bulls; the main differences are the ALL-TIME highs on the winds of persistently strong buying pressure. Enjoy these pictures – I think it is rare to get such convincing breakouts.
OK. Now that I got the excitement out of my system, I can wallow in my queasiness about this setup. T2108 re-entered overbought territory after just a brief rest from the historic overbought period that began this year. I was looking for the 7-8% sell-off that has historically been the worst case scenario following extended overbought periods. I would have gladly bought with both hands under such a scenario. Instead, we got the equally likely 1-2% sell-off, and I sat on the bearish T2108 bearish portfolio. I braced for a breakout, but hoped for more churn to give me more time to mentally adjust to the bullish implications of the shallow sell-off. Instead, we got the most bullish breakout possible in very short order. In other words, I have not had a chance to get comfortable with the stark reality that it is time for a change in strategy, and this situation leaves me queasy.
As a contrarian at heart, I prefer to buy into sell-offs (fear) and sell into rallies (cheer). The standard T2108 cycles are a perfect fit for my comfort zone. Now, T2108 is not signalling a cyclical strategy; it is signalling a trend-following strategy. Based on the last historical analysis I conducted on overbought periods, I have been reiterating the need to recognize that the market is flashing bullish signs for whatever would follow the last overbought period. Now, here we are.
Here is a partial reminder of the strategy I outlined for this period in the last T2108 Update:
"Going forward, I will be maintaining the current bearish configuration (SDS and VXX shares) as a hedge to this trend-following strategy. I want to keep this component in place in case some black swan swoops in to deliver an extreme counter-punch. In parallel, I will be aggressively executing swing trades (duration of 1 to 3 days or so) in the indices AND individual stocks, using shares and options. I will particularly focus on fading any and all pops in VXX with put options. The weekly chart…reminds us that VXX's ultimate fate is always lower prices; I may drop VXX shares altogether if for some reason I am not able to stay ahead of losses with VXX put options. During the current VXX downtrend, trading these puts [has] consistently delivered attractive profits for me (but not in the T2108 portfolio unfortunately!). I recommend reading "Volatility ETFs Often Own All VIX Futures" for understanding why the current crop of volatility products perform so poorly over an extended period of time."
I expect the S&P 500 to grind its way higher and higher over the coming weeks and months, but it should feature constant shifting in and out of overbought periods rather than another extended overbought period. While the bias will be for more upside, the churn will remind us (or at least me) of the on-going downside risks. Bears will find themselves constantly frustrated, and bulls will find constant relief. However, the historical data also suggest that this next bullish phase will NOT end as well as the first one. In fact, we should expect an outcome very similar to the extended overbought periods of 2009 and 2010. That is, at the end of this road is hiding somewhere the next calamity. This time, it will be something none of us are thinking about and/or worrying about. Yes, I just feel more comfortable thinking about what can go wrong. 🙂
To kick off this trend-following, I executed two aggressive trades: calls and shares in Caterpillar (CAT) and calls in CSX Corporation (CSX). I previously discussed the bearish implications for the divergence in performance of the two stocks. I even cautioned in a separate post that CAT may have printed an ominous breakdown. Today's bullish trading action invalidated the warning:
In this next bullish phase, I fully expect CSX to play a lot of catch-up (a slowdown in coal is hurting CSX) and for CAT to represent one of the favorite ways for big buyers to play an on-going recovery in the U.S. and global economy.
I consider these trades to be my first trial balloons of the shift in strategy. I am looking for confirmation that the S&P 500 is truly embarking on a fresh trend. This confirmation should come with a bullish follow-through day within the next week or less WITHOUT the S&P 500 completely reversing today's breakout. Breaking the lows of today will call into question the breakout. I plan to stay flexible and nimble, especially since I am now traveling a bit away from my traditional comfort zone.
Finally, note that I have written about many bullish scenarios in the past few months. These areas will also be my focus on any future buying setups: commodities, housing, insider buying, and special "situations" or themes. Stay tuned for more pieces in these areas.

Aah shit. Yes shit, dammit. (hope the profanity does not offent). I hate this situation but I think you're right. I concluded the same yesterday, same day as you. I suspect I'll get stopped out of most new longs given my skittishness. How do you recommend dealing with that?
On your recommendation just looked at chart of csx. UUg. what's going to be the catalyst?

My daughter Dina, who turns 5 next month, happily clicks on the computer mouse and two goofy-looking animated dragons zip around on the screen.
I know I'm getting older because I'm astonished at my daughter's comfort level on the computer. Astonished, and very curious.
Every parent I know talks about how fast kids grow up. But what about how fast the media age is speeding up? How can I make enough sense of this stuff to be reasonable about it?
This is a loaded subject, of course, whether one is talking about monitoring what kids are exposed to or sometimes encouraging them to turn off a blinking screen.
Educating myself about how my kids interact with computers is becoming a bigger job all the time.
One expert on children and media suggests that understanding the impact of modern technology is a slippery issue because it's always changing.
"We can't just say what the effect of technology—from video games and the Internet to television—have on children, because it advances at such a fast rate," says Douglas Gentile, director of research for the Minneapolis-based National Institute on Media and the Family and a professor of psychology at Iowa State University. "There are so many things we don't know. That's disturbing, because we've created a grand experiment with kids as the subject."
In 2003, the Kaiser Family Foundation released "Zero to Six: Electronic Media in the Lives of Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers." Among the findings: More than one-third of 4- to 6-year-olds use a computer several times a week or more. The report called for more research on the impact of new media on child development.
On the most basic level, I ask myself whether spending time on a computer is a good thing for my preschooler. My answer is yes—within limits.
I try to keep a few things in mind when I sit down with my daughter at the computer:
Is she engaged in what she's doing, or is she just staring at the screen?
Does it challenge her?
What is she learning?
Dina likes to play games on www.pbskids.org, www.nickjr.com and a couple of other Web sites. But she doesn't need the Web to be entertained. She's just as intrigued by typing away and filling a blank screen with letters, numbers and symbols.
The common denominator is that she's often learning new skills, having fun and—we hope—learning things that are appropriate for her age.
Gentile emphasizes the many benefits computers can have for kids.
"Computer games often have clear objectives and different levels of difficulty, so they can adapt to the prior knowledge of the learner. That's exactly what a good teacher does," says Gentile, father of a 7-year-old daughter.
"Learning on a computer is also often what we call active learning, where the learner is involved in getting immediate feedback and practicing is distributed across time," he says. "That makes sense, because that's how kids play—they focus on something for a few minutes or half-hour or hour a day."
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents limit "screen time" (that includes television, videos, computers and video games) to one or two hours per day. My wife Nancy and I restrict the amount of time my kids can spend on a computer (or watching TV), but try to be flexible about it. I think the two-hour limit makes sense for my daughter.
The bigger issue is her little sister, Ally, who's nearly 2. Pediatricians say kids under 2 should not spend any time in front of a computer or TV at all. I find that standard to be too strict for my house, especially since Ally spends so much time following her older sister and sitting, transfixed, while Dina plays on the computer.
The biggest issue here for me is not how much time my daughters spend in front of a computer. It's what happens when they are away from it.
I pay attention to how well Dina is reading and writing—the skills I grew up thinking of as the basics. I am watching to see whether her attention span is being short-circuited by her focus on the computer or TV.
So far, I don't think so, but it can be very hard to tell. This, I suspect, is a topic we'll be talking about in our house—and in our community—for many years.
"It's really important that parents are interacting on the computer with their children—especially young children," says Patti Miller, director of the Children & the Media program at Children Now, a national research and child advocacy organization based in Oakland, Calif. "It's also really important for parents to talk to other parents, since parents are a great resource for each other."
Meanwhile, I remain steadfast about two of my favorite rituals as a parent that don't involve tools of the modern age.
The first, of course, is reading a story to Dina every night before bed.
The second is the daily ritual of getting ready for work each morning while Dina charges at me with a marker and paper in hand. She wants to know how to spell a word so she can write it down on a piece of paper. Then another. And another. I tell her.

502nd Air Base Wing breaks ground on new headquarters
July 22, 2010
Story Highlights
- The 25,733-square-foot building, will cost approximately $7.4 million and have a 5.5-acre footprint.
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas -- With the turn of a shovel July 14, the 502nd Air Base Wing got a little closer to establishing itself on Fort Sam Houston, as Brig. Gen. Leonard Patrick, 502nd ABW commander, was joined by various local and military officials in breaking ground for the wing's new headquarters.
The 25,733-square-foot building, which will be located just a few hundred feet from the Quadrangle on Wilson Street between Stanley and Liscum Roads, will cost approximately $7.4 million and have a 5.5-acre footprint. Officials are anticipating occupancy in July 2011.
"This building is being fast-tracked to get the general and his staff out of their doublewide trailer," said Frank Simas, deputy of the Joint Project Management Office, Fort Worth District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. "We plan on being on time and on budget."
"This is truly an opportunity for us to move forward," Patrick told the assembled audience. "Part of the wing's vision statement is to 'Preserve our Heritage.' I promised I would honor that."
The 502d Air Base Wing consists of three major support elements. The Air Force elements are the 802nd Mission Support Group at Lackland and the 902nd MSG at Randolph AFB, while the Fort Sam Houston Garrison is renamed the 502nd MSG.
The Air Force was directed to be the executive agent for the action in San Antonio and this is the largest single Department of Defense installation. One of 12 joint bases within the DoD, the 502nd Air Base Wing will oversee installation support at Lackland and Randolph AFBs and Fort Sam Houston.
While being built in the shadow of some of the post's most historic buildings, the new Headquarter is being built with an eye on the future and will achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver certification.
"The project team is incorporating a variety of sustainable design elements including extensive use of local regional, certified wood, and recycled building materials," said H.D. Eisenhauer, chief of engineering for the 502nd ABW. "The facility also incorporates sustainable landscape measures, advanced building commissioning, a rainwater harvesting system for irrigation, a solar water heating system, and reducing the heat island effect with roofing and paving materials."
"This is something we can take great pride in," said Dr. Cem Maxwell, deputy director, San Antonio Joint Program Office at Randolph AFB.
"This may be a new building," Maxwell said, "But it will perform an age-old mission of sustaining our military and sustaining our national defense."
Construction on the building is being performed by LeeTex Construction LLC, in partnership with Hill & Wilkinson Ltd., with GSBS Architects out of Salt Lake City as part of the team supporting the prime contractor.
"This project was Air Force BRAC funded and Air Force led, but it would never have been possible without significant support and cooperation from our Army teammates," Eisenhauer said.
"The cooperation of this project is a reflection of the joint basing effort in San Antonio and the collaborative and supportive process it has been," he added. "This includes Fort Sam Houston's Department of Public Works' cultural resources staff, who has helped us ensure the building will adequately respect the historic nature of its site and adjacent historic districts and architecture, in both materials and architectural forms."
"Additionally, the Army Corps of Engineers team, and the San Antonio Joint Program Management Office, have been key members and involved in this project as well," Eisenhauer said. "The success of this project is really a credit to a great team."
"Construction like this means a lot to our military and to the city of San Antonio," Maxwell reiterated. "This is one part of the $8.3 billion impact that BRAC has had on San Antonio."

Dr. Kathy L. Hudson, who has been chief of staff to NIH director Dr. Francis Collins since September 2009, was named NIH deputy director for science, outreach and policy by Collins, effective Oct. 24. She retains her role as chief of staff.
As DDSOP, a newly created position at NIH, Hudson
will work closely with and oversee the activities of the associate directors for communications and public liaison (John Burklow), legislative policy and analysis (Patrick White) and science policy (Dr. Amy Patterson).
Hudson has a Ph.D. in molecular biology from the University of California, Berkeley, and had previously been a member of the faculty
of Johns Hopkins University since 2002, where she was founding director of the Genetics and Public Policy Center. Her work at Hopkins focused on public policy issues raised by advances in human genetics.
Kathys unique combination of scientific knowledge, analytical and communication
abilities and experience both within and outside the government will serve her and the agency well in her new position, said Collins.
Hudson first came to NIH in fall 1995, when she joined what was then the National Center for Human Genome Research as assistant director for policy coordination. In that role, she was responsible for the Office of Communications,
the Office of Program Planning and the Office of Legislation as head of the newly created Office for Policy Coordination.
Before joining NCHGR, she was senior policy analyst in the Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Health, HHS. She advised the assistant secretary on national health and science policy issues involving NIH. Prior to that, she worked in the congressional Office of Technology Assessment as a congressional science fellow.
Before earning her doctorate at Berkeley, Hudson received her B.A. in biology at Carleton College in Minnesota and M.S. in microbiology from the University
of Chicago.

Israel: Thai bombs similar to those in India blast
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
BANGKOK (AP) — Israeli officials ramped up accusations Wednesday that Iran was launching covert attack plots, saying "sticky" bombs found in a Thai house rented by Iranians were similar to devices used against Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the violence, while Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast called the allegations "baseless" and said Israel was trying to damage his country's relations with Thailand and fuel "conspiracy" theories.
Thailand's government was trying to determine what three Iranian men were plotting when a cache of explosives detonated accidentally in their home in Bangkok's busy Sukhumvit Road area a day earlier. Bomb disposal teams combed the Iranians' house again Wednesday looking for more evidence, while security forces were searching for an Iranian woman they said had originally rented it.
Two of the men were detained in Bangkok on Tuesday after fleeing the destroyed house, while a third was arrested Wednesday in neighboring Malaysia after boarding a flight from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur overnight.
Israel has accused Iran of waging a campaign of state terror and has threatened military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran has blamed the Jewish state for the recent killings of Iranian atomic scientists and has denied responsibility for all three plots this week.
On Monday in New Delhi, an explosion tore through an Israeli diplomatic vehicle, wounding the driver and a diplomat's wife, according to Indian officials. On the same day in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, authorities say attackers planted an explosive device on the car of a driver for the Israeli Embassy, but it was discovered and defused before it went off.
"If this aggression isn't halted, ultimately it will spread to many other countries," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in Israel's parliament Wednesday.
He convened his Security Cabinet to discuss terrorisms against Israel and "Iran's involvement in repeated attempts to attack Israeli targets," his office said.
Israeli Ambassador to Thailand Itzhak Shoham told The Associated Press in an interview that after Tuesday's blasts, Thai police found and defused two magnetic bombs that could be stuck on vehicles.
"They are similar to the ones used in Delhi and in Tbilisi," Shoham said. "From that we can assume that there is the same network of terror."
That and the arrest of the two Iranians in Thailand "again leaves not too much room to assume who was behind it," Shoham said.
Late Tuesday, Israel's Channel 10 TV quoted unidentified Thai authorities as saying the captured Iranians confessed to targeting Israeli interests.
However, Thai security officials told a news conference they had little information about who the alleged attackers were or their possible targets.
National Security Council chief Wichean Potephosree said the government had not yet determined if there was any link between the events in Bangkok, New Delhi and Tbilisi.
"We haven't found any links but we are still investigating," Wichean said. "We admit there was a magnetic component, aiming at individuals, but the origin of the magnets still has to be investigated."
Thai police have named the Iranians in custody here as Saeid Moradi, who lost at least one leg in a self-inflicted grenade blast as he tried to flee police, and Mohammad Kharzei, who was detained Tuesday as he tried to board a flight to Malaysia.
Both men are now facing four criminal charges, including possession of explosives, attempted murder, attempted murder of a policeman and causing explosions that damaged property.
Thai officials identified the third suspect as Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, and officials in Malaysia said he was arrested there Wednesday.

On 3/3, I went to the ER for severe flu-like symptoms (uncontrollable vomiting/diarrhea for 8hrs). When the vomiting first hit, before going to the hospital, I took a hpt but it was negative. While there, I asked them to do a blood pregnancy test (thinking maybe I was too early for the urine test) and it came back negative. I wasn't satisfied with a negative answer since I just "felt" pregnant, despite no other symptoms. When AF still hadn't come, ten days later I took two hpts, both of which came back positive! I'm now 6 weeks along!posted 03/18/2008 by Kacee81
It is such a relief to read this! I am not alone! I had a situation 3 years ago where I had the signs of being pregnant for 2 to 3 weeks. I had migraines (new to me), fatigue, sore breasts, vag. discharge (no bleeding) & I had cyst like knots on my face (caused by hormones?). I took 3 or 4 HPT over a two week period & they were ALL NEGATIVE! I then decided to go to my doctor's office & they gave me a blood test... but guess what... IT WAS NEGATIVE ALSO! I then waited another day or two and did another home pregnancy test... and it was FINALLY POSITIVE! See, I wasn't crazy after all! Now we are trying to have another child and guess what...SAME CRAZY SYMPTOMS!!! All the same migraines, breast soreness, etc. All 5 HPT tests have been negative and a blood test I got yesterday was also negative. My periods usually occur every month to a month & a half so I should be having a period now. My husband is convinced I am pregnant & I am just plain frustrated!!! Only time will tell.posted 08/12/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
Im glad there are people out there with the same symptoms i am having. I was suppose to have gotten my period the 5th of Aug. i had spotting for about a day and a half, went to the dr and had a neg blood test, 2 weeks later i have every possible pregnancy symptom. bloating, mild headaches, fatigue, insomnia, frequent urination and sore breasts. im going to retest again since with my first pregnancy i had 2 neg blood tests and a hand full of neg hpts. finally at 4 months pregnant a positive test. Goodluck everyoneposted 08/16/2010 by EmelysMommy
Alrighty here fine ladies.. Without further adu.. I am 15 weeks pregnant.. finally got my positive.. It only took about a hundred positive and negative hpt's and a negative blood test at 6 weeks.. I am so excited and just plotting a great way to tell my wonderful daddy to be.. This is something that is so worth the wait!!! Simply Beautiful!!posted 05/27/2012 by tallulahluah
I was late and had a neg blood test on june 24th. At the end of july I took 2 home test they came back positive, and took a blood test that was positive as well. Dr didnt know why I had a neg blood test the first time around since I was already 9 weeks preg when I got my positive blood test.posted 04/30/2010 by owenswifey
I posted a few weeks ago. I got a positive HPT the week of my missed period, then waited till I was 8 weeks to get the blood test done, which came out negative, which was weird cause my body was changing and I had just about every symptom. I took the blood test last week and its POSITIVE, which at 10 weeks I guess I just had more hormones than at week 8 so just be patient and I think if you really know your body you will know your pregnant. Good luck to everyone and hopefully if its driving you crazy like it was me, that this will help ease your nerves.posted 02/22/2011 by mommzgirl90
I have literally signed up just to put my point across. I tested a day late of my period negative hpt I tested ever single day for two weeks still no period and still neg hpt. Three weeks late I went to a and e with abdominal pains. When I explained how late I was they done a pregnancy test and blood test and both come back negative. Obviously they assured me there is no way I can be pregnant. So I thought for the first time in my life I may have skipped a period. But curiosity got the best of me and I tested again over a week later and although it was faint I got a positive went back to the doctors and from my hcg being below one in my blood results a week ago. This time my hcg levels were 133 I never thought this would happen but it did and I defeated the blood and urine tests I knew I was pregnant even when my blood came back negative I said to my husband I'm still pregnant. I needed to post this to make other people have the hope and also believe in your own body u know best :-)posted 08/02/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
Hi all... Went through the exact same thing. Got all the symptoms except for the nausea and actually had a period of 8 days, however not as heavy as usual and without pain. All my hpt's were negative at 5 weeks, as well as my blood test. Doctor insinuated that I was making myself believe I was pregnant. I however knew something was up and decided to give it some time. I am now in my 9th week and just tested positive. Trust your instincts, not the doctors. They don't know everything. Some women are just slow in producing the hormones.posted 02/10/2013 by jbross
YES, I am pregnant and I had a blood test done 3 weeks after my missed period and it was negative. I also took 4 at home tests all negative. After not starting for two and a half months and noticing my belly starting to grow I found out in fact I was pregnant. Trust your body!posted 06/06/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
I am one week late with a handful of neg hpt and a negative blood test at 4 weeks. I can't shake that feeling, though, that I am pregnant. I had a m/c almost a year ago, and when the symptoms started this time I knew right away that my period wasn't coming! So, still waiting for that positive test... For everyone out there who is going through this, know that you are not alone! And if you think you even might be pregnant, take care of yourself! The price of regret is far more than the price of inconvenience.posted 12/20/2008 by a BabyCenter Member

A look back at January and February
The biggest opening so far this year -- the new Mari Luna Bistro, across from the Meyerhoff.
The biggest chef move -- Jesse Sandlin left Vino Rosina on January 24.
The biggest happy story -- local franchisees found for Gino's Burgers & Chicken
Closings -- Mi Viejo Pueblito, in Brewers Hill, replaced by Fiesta Mexicana; Sander's Corner .
Also, a concept change at Luminous, now with an all-American menu; and a refresh at XS
But the biggest local restaurant story so far in 2011 may be about good breaks. Mild weather, compared to last January and February, successful restaurant-week promotions and a stellar four-day Valentine's weekend have been a shot in the arm for area restaurants, still reeling in a sluggish economic climate.
One restaurant owner, describing the crowds he saw in his dining room over Valentine's Day weekend, said "It was like we were back in 2005."
Valentine's Day actually spilled over beyond the four-day weekend. Donna's at Cross Keys, for instance, had its busiest winter dinner ever the Saturday before Valentine's Day.
The organizers of the restaurant week promotions are still tabulating the final results of their member surveys. I did talk with Howard County Tourism & Promotion Director Rachelina Bonacci. She told me that Howard County's promotion stays successful by keeping the same dates each year, always beginning on the Martin Luther King Holiday.
Bonacci also told me that restaurants and diners respond to the themes for the winter ("local global flavor") and summer (farm to table") promotions, which are designed to set Howard County's promotion apart from the ones put on by its neighboring counties. And by allowing individual restaurants to set their own prices, a roadside tavern like the Woodstock Inn, a favorite of bikers, can participate alongside fancier places like the Elkridge Furnace Inn.
My insight is this: Good promotions and good weather tend to help successful restaurants and to have less effect on less successful restaurants.
In Baltimore, City Cafe reported an enthusiastic response to the $10 gift certificates handed out during Restaurant Week. Aldo's reported one of its busiest restaurant weeks ever, with some customers returning "3 or 4 times" for one particular dish -- a Tuscan-grilled rib eye with black truffle sea salt.
Restaurant weeks are here to stay, at least for a while, because they work.

Energy Action Month means you are Air Force energy

Commentary by Col. Sarah Zabel
Installation and 75th Air Base Wing commander
10/19/2012 -
HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah
-- October is Energy Action Month a time for all of us to think about the importance of energy in our daily lives, the lives of our families, and in our ability to accomplish our mission. Our colleagues in the Area of Responsibility know how critical energy is as they fly missions to resupply aircraft in the skies, drop barrels of fuel to forward bases, and ensure our installations have the electricity they need. As you know, we project power directly from our installations and without electricity and fuel we can't meet our mission.
In the Air Force, and across DoD, we are in the process of realigning our force, to modernize and develop a more capable force, while meeting the budgetary limitations set by Congress. Through this process, we are finding the proper balance between the size of our force structure and readiness. And this modern force trades size for quality while continuing to ensure we are expanding our capabilities.
Energy fits directly into this broader strategy. To protect the security of our nation, we must have assured access to reliable supplies of energy and the ability to protect and deliver enough fuel to meet operational needs. The theme for Energy Action Month is "I am Air Force Energy" because we all have a role to play in ensuring energy security and achieving our mission to fly, fight and win in air, space, and cyberspace.
In 2011, the Air Force spent $9.7 billion on fuel and electricity -- more than twice what we spent ten years ago. To put that in perspective that is the same as the cost for 12 CV-22s, 14 C-17s, 36 MQ-9 drones and 25 F-22 fighters. Fuel and electricity now make up almost 10 percent of the Air Force's budget and every dollar we don't spend on energy allows us to invest that dollar into you, your family and your mission.
Beyond cost, there are risks of sole dependence on traditional energy supplies. Sole dependency exposes us to access and cost problems in the event of natural disasters, accidents, terrorism and political instability. These dependencies add risk to our core mission support functions and can jeopardize your effectiveness.
Air Force initiatives
In order to maximize funds to support you and reduce risk to our mission, the Air Force is working to Reduce Demand; Increase Supply, and Foster an Energy Aware Culture.
In aviation, our Airmen have reduced fuel consumption 4 percent since 2006 by eliminating unnecessary cargo, flying more fuel efficient routes, cleaning engines regularly, and even loading cargo in a new way to better balance aircraft. These initiatives and others have saved $165 million and that translates into more capability allowing us to transport 27 percent more cargo on just 3 percent more fuel.
We have also tested our aircraft on 50 percent alternative fuel blended with 50 percent petroleum-based fuel. This will allow the Air Force to be more flexible in the coming years as domestically- produced, clean alternatives to petroleum are made available.
In installations, you and our civil engineers have reduced facility energy intensity by 16 percent since 2003 by replacing light bulbs with energy efficient fluorescents, upgrading un-insulated windows and doors, repairing leaking water pipes, and controlling inside temperature set-points.
We also have more than 180 solar, wind and other renewable energy projects in operation or under construction at Air Force installations today. That makes the Air Force the No. 2 consumer of renewable energy in the federal government. This includes large wind and solar projects like the photovoltaic array at Nellis Air Force Base that generates 14 megawatts of electricity. Our engineers here at Hill have overseen the operation of a unique renewable project since 2005 taking landfill methane gas and generating 2.3 megawatts of electricity and 220 kilowatts of solar electrical generation since 2009.
These are mostly on-base projects that give us more control over the electricity at our facilities and ensure we are not solely reliant on the commercial grid. This flexibility improves our resiliency to allow the Air Force the capacity to survive, adapt and operate in light of energy disruptions.
In vehicles, fuel use is down 4 percent with almost 1,000 hybrid electric vehicles in service. We also have 10,000 alternative fuel capable vehicles and alternative fuel use is up 67 percent the last four years. We all see how volatile the price of gasoline can be when we fill up our own tank. These initiatives save us money and give us additional options that further increases our resiliency.
"I Am Air Force Energy"
The last piece of our strategy to foster an Energy Aware Culture, is where each and every one of us across our varied missions play a big role. The Air Force was founded on new technologies, and innovation in energy is a natural extension of this legacy. You are the most powerful change agents the Air Force has to achieve our energy objectives. Through your day-to-day activities you are having an impact on our effort to maximize funds for operational needs and improve mission effectiveness,
You help us achieve our goals when you:
· Turn off your computer monitor at the end of the day or when it is not in use for more than 20 minutes so that it can properly enter energy-saving sleep mode.
· Reduce idling in vehicles. Thirty minutes of idling burns through one gallon of gas.
· Consolidate personal appliances like coffee makers or microwaves in work.
Looking at the job you do every day -- each individual can personally impact the Air Force energy vision. Keep evaluating how you use energy, and then find ways to do it smarter.
By identifying new policies, processes and technologies in the ways that we use energy, you are helping us limit our costs, enhance our readiness,and expand our capability. Many of your fellow Airmen have already begun innovating and their hard work and ingenuity is being recognized outside DoD.
The Department of Energy recognized the work of Airmen with six Federal Energy Management Program awards this year out of fifteen competitive nominations submitted by the Air Force. These winners helped save the Air Force more than $150 million and 42 million gallons of jet fuel. These six winners are in addition to seven winners in 2011 and three in 2010.
This underlines that we are not just focused on energy because of a mandate or to meet a goal. Reducing demand, increasing supply and fostering an energy aware culture are critical to allow the Air Force greater resiliency to pursue our mission and secure the future of this nation.
The "I Am Air Force Energy" theme speaks not only to the progress that our Airmen have made but also how we all can make a difference in helping the Air Force become more energy secure.
Remember, YOU are Air Force Energy. Through efforts both big and small your innovation is key to our ability to achieve our mission and maintain an assured energy advantage in air, space, and cyberspace.

In our language arts class we decided to make two seed packets based off of the book. One seed packet was from the book and one packet was from our experience. We chose one character from the book and made a seed packet about them. I picked Maricela because she was a very interesting person. She is sixteen years old, Mexican, and pregnant. My seed packet for her was "Maricela's Newborn Chard". For my other seed packet I based it off of my little brother Lian. The Seed packet is called "Lian's Plump Pumpkins". Plump something I call him and he gets mad at me. Lian wanted to plant pumpkins but he never got to do it

In her 2006 article, "A Measured Approach," which was written after several school shootings by individuals with no connection to the schools, American School Board Journal editor Naomi Dillon wrote: "From fostering a positive and inviting school climate, to teaching and modeling good behavior, to encouraging students and staff to be the eyes and ears of the building, schools can do a lot to make themselves unsuitable targets for unstable individuals."
The horrific events in Newtown, Conn., have most of us looking for answers again. As school leaders, you are searching anew for information on security – disaster planning, safeguards, and the kind of prevention described in Dillon's article. ASBJ can help provide that information for you: The magazine has published many articles on school safety for school leaders over the years. Usually only open to subscribers or available for purchase, the articles will be open to the public at our topical archive, Safe From Harm.
At the top of the list of articles is a look back at the Columbine shootings – interviews with the principal, counselor, superintendent, communications official, and others who experienced the events on that day in 1999.
Other articles include: "Communicating During a Crisis," by school safety expert Ken Trump, who gives tips on how make sure your schools have well-developed and exercised safety and crisis plans and your staff is trained to implement them.
In "Safe From Harm," ASBJ law columnist Ed Darden notes that a get-tough stance is tempting, but compassion and conversations are just as important.
Dillon writes of the importance of disaster planning in "Do You Have a Disaster Plan?"
Many other articles are available for reading and for download. Please give us your feedback on what other kinds of security articles you'd find most useful.

"The Flash" Director Seth Grahame-Smith Departs Over 'Creative Differences'
Start Time: 07:00PM End Time: 10:00PM
Acclaimed comic creators J.G. Jones and John Arcudi will be signing books at West Philadelphia's LOCUST MOON COMICS on Friday, March 18 from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. Jones is the co-creator and artist of the hit comic book and major motion picture WANTED, and Arcudi is the writer of the sensational graphic novel A GOD SOMEWHERE.
Jones is one of the most sought-after artists in the comic book industry. His work, characterized by a classic pulp elegance combined with a modern graphic flair, has earned Eisner award nods for the best-selling, genre-bending WANTED and his stunning series of covers for DC Comics' groundbreaking weekly series 52. Most recently, he was the primary artist on Grant Morrison's definitive FINAL CRISIS epic. Jones is currently working on a five issue miniseries starring, appropriately enough, Doc Savage, the first pulp hero.
John Arcudi, a mainstay of the comics industry, is one of the architects of the HELLBOY line of books from Dark Horse Comics, being the primary writer of B.P.R.D. His early career included work writing for such titles as DARK HORSE PRESENTS, DOOM PATROL, and THUNDERBOLTS for Dark Horse, DC and Marvel before releasing his original graphic novel A GOD SOMEWHERE to rapturous critical praise in 2010. Described by HELLBOY creator Mike Mignola as "the most human take on the superhero story I have ever seen," Arcudi's opus, which explores the troubling implications of of superhumans in a realistic social setting, is taking the world of graphic fiction by storm.

text: 17 June, 2013 - For a Christian, Jesus is everything, the source of his or her magnanimity. And if one replaces this 'everything' with 'nothing', it gives way to all the Christian errors, those of the Church and ours. This was the lesson Pope Francis drew from the readings of Monday's Mass that he celebrated in the morning at the Casa Santa Marta residence in the Vatican. In his homily he said that the justice that Jesus brings is superior to that of the Scribes, for whom it was an 'eye of an eye', "tooth for a tooth.' The kingdom of God is everything, and any other thing is secondary - and all the errors of Christians, of the Church and our errors are born when we replace "everything" with "nothing". The Pope warned that "for the spirit of the world "all" means things: riches, vanities", it means "to be well placed in society" where "Jesus is nothing". St. Paul speaks of the righteousness that Jesus brings when he describes Christians as "people who have nothing in themselves but possess all things in Christ". This is the secret of Christian benevolence that always goes together with meekness", the Pope explained. The Pope explained that the option for "nothing" gives rise to conflicts in families, in friendships, between friends, in society. "Nothing" is always the seed of wars, because it is the seed of selfishness. Instead Jesus is "everything". The Pope urged all to ask the Lord to open up our heart, to make us humble, meek and benevolent because we have "all" in Him; and let's ask him to help us avoid creating everyday problems stemming from "nothing".

I went down to the LBS and bought a Trek T-900 Recreational Tandem today. We've been wanting a tandem for a long time but just never found one that was "low" enough for my very short legged wife and that we could afford. Looked at several "entry"/"recreational" level tandems but still mostly "too tall" for my stroker, then checked out Trek on whim and wala, 18.5/14.5 PERFECT! I'll be changing the tires from 26x1.95 to 26x1.50 100 psi Kenda Kwest's, since we will be doing 99.5% paved roads with this machine.
I do WISH I could have got a tandem with IPS system but I'm sure we can learn to work out signals/commands and learn to ride without it, maybe for the next "upgrade" I know this is a lower end unit but it FINALLY let's us sneak in the backdoor of the tandem world! Got a fitting on Sat., then it's "look out world, here we come"!
