Using Roadway Lighting as a Successful Countermeasure for Roadway Safety
If your house is too dark to see your way around at night, you'll bump into things. The same is true of roadways—although in the latter case, the potential consequences of inadequate lighting are more dire.
"Our talk will highlight a strategic planning program in Hillsborough County, Fla., to plan for future enhancements in roadway lighting in this rapidly growing county," says speaker Marc Rogoff, project director for SCS Engineers. "Lessons learned during this process will be beneficial to other communities."
Other topics discussed include using GIS technology to evaluate safety needs, and developing an overall capital improvement plan.
Tuesday Sept. 11, 2:30 p.m.
ATD: Better Than Aspirin for Your Transportation Headache
Advanced transportation districts are a new funding tool used by Texas municipalities. During this session, speakers will explain the concept, and how ATDs help agencies tackle myriad transportation challenges.
"Communities shouldn't wait for the federal or state government to provide solutions," says Clay Smith, director of transportation planning and development with the Texas DOT. "Communities need to implement local solutions to solve congestion problems."
The Ability of Equipment to Evaluate Pavement Structures
Knowing the condition of your pavement is crucial to planning for repairs, reconstruction, and maintenance. First, however, you need to know what your pavement evaluation equipment can do—and what it can't.
"The capabilities and limitations of this equipment is valuable knowledge to agencies, by ensuring the proper use and application of equipment," says speaker Tim Martin, senior project manager with Fugro.
Topics will include the kinds of equipment used for evaluation, including ground-penetrating radar technology.
Tuesday Sept. 11, 3:45 p.m.
What is your IQ on Smart Growth?
Rapid expansion is widespread, and it deeply affects a community's streets and roadways. While it might be a common challenge, dealing with it calls for uncommon thinking.
"Smart growth practices are a good way to promote walking, bicycling, and increased use of transit," says Debbie Hale, president of The Surface Transportation Policy Project. "Attendees will learn about transportation designs that foster cost-effective mobility."
Traffic Intervention: Neighborhood Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Program
A group of experts from across the country will discuss their experiences in creating innovative, effective plans to make their communities more livable. Chula Vista, Calif., senior civil engineer Jim Newton will share how his city launched a community-based effort to reduce vehicle collisions and increase pedestrian and cyclist safety.
"The partnership between the engineering and police departments, school district, and the community has resulted in grant awards totaling $1.5 million, a 72% public awareness rating, and—most importantly—zero fatalities due to vehicle collisions to date this year," he says.
Wednesday Sept. 12, 8 a.m.
A Demo: Innovative Street Reconstruction Techniques
Get a firsthand glimpse at how creative techniques and materials extend the life of a community's pavement.
"We'll discuss the important aspects of every layer of street reconstruction, and demonstrate innovative technology, such as proper lime design, asphalt-emulsion base, and warm-mix asphalt," says presenter Larry Peirce, executive director of the Lime Association of Texas. "It's important to do it right."

Losing More Than You Should?
Some say that clothes make the person. I question from time to time, how do stolen clothes make the man? Yes you may have some very nice clothing, but how do you bring yourself to walk around everyday know that the clothes you are wearing aren't actually yours? The discussion of clothing security helps to deter clothing items from being stolen. The use of cheap labels and cheap tags help to keep the initial costs down when procuring some retail anti theft devices. It has been proven by many retailers that the simple addition of security tags or labels greatly reduces shrink. Shrink is the term commonly associated with loss of merchandise by a retailer. It does not generally include straight cash losses. When retailers suffer shrink losses, a large impact is taken on the bottom line profit. Even if there is a portion of the budget set aside for things such as shrink, the large amount of money lost can destroy even the best sales production. Having accessibility to cheap tags and cheap labels offsets the loss in shrink thereby allowing you more profit from your clothing sales. You work hard for each of those dollars earned, you should be able to reap the benefits.

On Monday, TMZ reports that BET is highly interested in a reality show featuring Chris Brown. The news comes after an amazing performance from Brown at the 2014 BET Awards. Would you tune in?
According to the source, BET has been calling media outlets to see if they would watch. The reality show will follow Chris Brown's life after jail, as he tries to stay clean and out of trouble – something that has proven to be very difficult for the singer. While nothing is official yet, BET has reportedly contacted several production companies about their interest.
Surveys conducted on BET fans report that they are only interested to watch if Chris Brown messes up and causes drama. The majority of fans say that they will watch to see it all happen. Could this be the new "Keeping Up With Chris Brown" or "The Chris Brown Chronicles?" Participants of this survey are reportedly all African American females.
Well they want drama, they got it. Also according to TMZ, Chris Brown got super drunk after the BET Awards. "Chris Brown is now privately admitting he was falling-down drunk…not because he drank to excess – it's because he can't hold his liquor," the source writes. Brown has supposedly not had a drink in over six months.
Brown will be starting in the film "Phenom" as Dre Lakes, a standout high school basketball player who goes pro after being discovered. He is the illegitimate son of the NBA's best player. Father and son collide as their teams meet on the road to the playoffs. No release date available for the film yet.

Ministers unprepared for parliamentary Q&A sessions
Opposition MPs have accused the executive of giving mediocre answers and not being able to answer yes-no questions or provide timelines and figures.
Opposition MPs have accused the executive of giving mediocre answers and not being able to answer yes-no questions or provide timelines and figures.
Former mineral resources minister Susan Shabangu said the mining company used divide-and-rule tactics that contributed to the August 2012 unrest.
The new mineral resources minister begins his tenure with a difficult task - seeking a solution to the country's longest ever mines strike.
The rand has declined after Pravin Gordhan was replaced as finance minister and new leadership appointed in the mining and energy ministries.
Changes to mineral laws have been pushed through the National Assembly despite fears it will deter investment.
Operations at Harmony Gold's Doornkop mine will halt until the area is declared safe, says mineral resources minister Susan Shabangu.
While the search continues for one miner after the news of the death of eight others, the minister will visit Harmony Gold's Doornkop mine.
SA government has proposed that companies involved in fracking disclose the chemicals used and adhere to American Petroluem Institute standards.
To the upset of anti-fracking groups, Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu presented proposed technical regulations that will govern fracking.
Government will take a stake in a new gas and oil venture, but energy companies say it could lead to significant delays in planned investment.
Shell's Karoo fracking plans have catalysed a battle between the government and farmers as well as conservationists like billionaire Johann Rupert.
Minister of Mining Susan Shabangu says she is confident that an agreement can be reached, but analysts have said unions are under pressure to deliver.
Minister Susan Shabangu has spotlighted rivalry between NUM and Amcu, and instructed them to join hands against a common enemy: "monopoly capital".
The mining industry requires long-term commitment to South Africa and should not be viewed as a "quick, money-making scheme", says Susan Shabangu.
The ANC has become bold on policy recently, detailing the mining sectors in which it aims to increase the role of the state.
Industry experts say a strong relationship between the state and the mining industry is needed in South Africa for it to realise its full potential.
The mines minister has told delegates at the mining indaba that the ANC and government are not interested in making mine nationalisation policy.
The state has determined that coal will be declared a strategic mineral, boosting Eskom's efforts to secure a steady supply to run its power stations.
Amplats's shares have fallen over 2% after it announced it had "constructive" consultations with government about the company's restructuring plans.

Gay classic La Cage Aux Folles returns in a timely manner
Todd McKenney speaks with Rachel Cook about the return of La Cage Aux Folles.
Robin Williams made The Birdcage, which was based on the award-winning play La Cage aux Folles, a household name. When it hit our screens in 1996 most audiences had seen nothing like it. Williams' recent death has of course renewed interest in the film, but until you've seen the play, you really haven't experienced La Cage Aux Folles.
La Cage Aux Folles was written by Harvey Fierstein and Jeffrey Herman and was first staged on Broadway in 1983. The audience reaction at the time was strong. It was a play about gay characters and gay life in a time when gay characters were still portrayed as tragic or strictly comic but nothing more. There was also the matter of the AIDS epidemic which was at its height and the ensuing backlash to the gay community.
In Australia, in 1985 Her Majesty's staged the production with legendary theatre performer Jon Ewing playing the lead role of Albin and McKenney as one of the 'Cagelles'.
"I actually think it came out at the wrong time in the mid-80s when the AIDS hysteria was in full flight," Todd McKenney tells MCV.
"I was actually in it as one of the chorus and a lot of the people were in hysterics about 'the homosexual show', whereas now I think the time is right."
McKenney's career began in his mother's dance school in Perth. He landed his first professional role in 1983 in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Song and Dance, and from there the opportunities came thick and fast. His portrayal of Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz cemented his place in musical theatre.
Now thirty years after he was in the chorus of La Cage Aux Folles he is playing Albin.
"I have such strong memories of Jon Ewing playing the role I'm now playing and my performances will be heavily influenced by my memories of that," McKenney says.
"Also there is something great for me personally to come almost 30 years down the track and be playing a lead role in a show that I was a chorus member in when I was first starting out."
McKenney is no stranger to heels. He says he has a pair in his cupboard, "I don't think there are any surprises there", he laughs. (McKenney also performed in Pricilla Queen of the Desert's Sydney season.) However, his love of La Cage Aux Folles is also entwined in the fact that it encapsulates a love story. In fact, it is the story of the two lead characters Albin and Georges and their family that holds the show together.
"I like the humour of it but I also like that there is a very tender story wrapped up in the middle of it," McKenney says.
"It's not just a drag show it's about family and family comes in so many different shades and form and structure. People watching the show now are used to gay families and they weren't when the show first came out. My character is first of all a mother and then second a drag queen."
Playing opposite McKenney is longtime friend Simon Burke. Burke plays Albin's lover Georges, and the fact that Burke and McKenney have been close for many years will only add to the charisma between these two characters.
"I've known Simon since 1985," McKenney says. "Simon and I know each other backwards and we have a very similar sense of humour and we are both at a very similar point in our careers. Rehearsal period is going to be a lot of fun apart from the show itself – there is probably another show in the rehearsal period!"
In one of the more tender moments of the show, Albin and Georges are remembering the time when they met and Georges signs 'Song in the Sand' to Albin:
"They reminisce about when they first met walking along the beach and they hear a piano accordion guy playing a melody and it's just like any husband and wife, any gay couple any lesbian couple – anyone who has been in a relationship, they have that strong memory of when that first seed of love was planted and that song is just beautiful."
Of course Albin's big number is 'I am what I am', perhaps the biggest gay anthem of all time. McKenney is well aware that this is a number which gay audiences, in particular, will be waiting for.
"I'm learning this one already because I have to nail it every night. To sing a song that everyone knows so well and put your own stamp on it and also make it so that people want to listen and don't just think oh here's that song is really important."
While McKenney's career shows no sign of slowing down he does have some words of wisdom for up and coming musical theatre wannabees:
"Cover a lot of genres, don't just sing the artsy-fartsy Sondheim songs. Don't forget about the granddaddies of musical theatre such as 42nd Street, The Music Man, the big old fashioned belt-outs. And if you're a singer you've got to dance and you have to have some sort of music skills. Be as proficient as you can in all areas to be employable."
Considering McKenney's stellar career I would think this to be sage advice.

How Banner Vendor ID's Work
The vendor ID is an alphabetic abbreviation of the vendor's name. It is always entered in all capital letters. It is generally six characters long, but may be shorter (for example: IBM).
The vendor ID generally consists of the first three letters of the vendor's first name and the first three letters of the vendor's second name. For example:
Punctuation is ignored when creating vendor ID's, as are spaces, ampersands, and words like a, and, by, for, of, the, and to. For example:
If there are not enough letters in the first or second names of the vendor, the ID is shortened. Vendors with single short names (8 characters or less) use their entire name as the vendor ID.
If vendors (or organizations) commonly use initials instead of their full names, these initials are used as their ID's.
If vendors (or organizations) start with United States or Rocky Mountain, the ID starts with US or RM, and continues with the standard six-character methodology described above.

During the early part of the 20th century, history offers the opportunity of witnessing an exchange that is all too often unfamiliar in today's society; a substantive ongoing debate regarding the progress of the African American population. The two main contributors, Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois and Mr. Booker T. Washington, were recognized for their common interest in the overall well-being and advancement of African Americans. Unlike many of our contemporary voices of influence within the African American community, they were also bound by the common thread of publicly expressing their own ideologies and criticisms. Despite the fact that they both recognized the plight of African Americans during the post-civil war time period, they were both willing to engage in the process of stimulating dialogue and critical thought through the medium of expressing disagreement.
Points of contention
In regards to the progress and equality of African Americans, both men expressed different methods of securing achievement. In light of education, Washington believed that industrial education was essential for advancement. Du Bois argued that African Americans should not be exclusively exposed and relegated to industrial education. They should assert themselves by insisting upon opportunities of expanding their intellectual capabilities through higher education. Washington also embraced the subservient practices of passivity and submission in relation to civil and political rights. To the contrary, Du Bois endorsed the approach that African Americans should take systemic and collective steps in securing their own civil and political rights.
In light of such, I am often disturbed as to why individuals of influence within the African American community often fail to express opposing views in a public manner. It is almost as if they are overly concerned about the possibility of offending others, not realizing that they are literally reinforcing the stereotype that African Americans are unable to engage in independent thought.
Denied opportunity
While attempting to gain an administrative position within a public school system in Washington D.C., Du Bois was denied due to his ideological beliefs which were perceived as a threat to the status quo. At this point, the majority of Caucasian citizens in the North and South embraced the subservient and non-threatening ideas embraced by Booker T. Washington. In hindsight, the denial of opportunity for Du Bois seems unfortunate based upon the following attributes:
1) Dr. Du Bois had earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University. In fact, he was the first African American to experience such an achievement.
2) Dr. Du Bois was willing to use his talents in the pursuit of providing advocacy for African Americans. He was not content with the mere idea of resting upon his laurels. He believed that he was obligated to challenge others to pursue their own freedom through education.
3) Dr. Du Bois had embraced (and expressed) a controversial philosophy of self assertion in relation to progress and influence. Thus, he was willing to offer and endure criticism for what he believed to be important for the advancement of those who were less fortunate than himself.
A blessing in disguise
Interestingly, this denial of opportunity led to the Niagara movement and the formation of the NAACP; which established an impetus that led to protests, civil rights legislation, and affirmative action programs. Inevitably, the denial of opportunity for Dr. Du Bois catapulted his efforts to affect the progress of individuals throughout the nation and the world. In fact, many of the social movements that exist today model their respective strategies and attribute their achievements to the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
As fathers, let's defy the media-based stereotypes associated with African American progress. Intellectualism is not an attempt to act white, it is an attempt to act right. Criticism is not synonymous with disloyalty; it is the mark of integrity, serious inquiry, and moral development. Finally, consider adopting a grateful disposition in relation to instances where controversy and denial are experienced. Ultimately, these seemingly unfortunate experiences might be an indication of greater opportunities of influence and progress in the days ahead.

Not my puppy (or baby) While my 11-year-old Pit Bull is no longer a puppy and my 23-month-old daughter is now more toddler than baby, the contest got me thinking back to how being a pet parent was in some ways good practice for having a newborn. So if you're a pet parent considering having kids, take heart: You're more prepared than you think. Here's why: You're already responsible for another life. For petless folks, having a baby represents a big loss of freedom — no more spontaneous weekends in Paris (well, okay, my life was never like that, but it's nice to think someone's is!). But if you have a pet, you're used to thinking about someone else when you make plans. You understand non-verbal communication. A newborn is a bundle of needs — for food, sleep, comfort and going to the bathroom — with no language to express them. Sound familiar? Pet parents have already learned the subtle art of reading body language, a skill that persists regardless of whether that body is furry and four-legged or otherwise. This is my puppy (and baby) You're not freaked out by poop. Self-explanatory (and also true for pee and throw-up). You know not to lay blame. Just as yelling at a dog for peeing on the rug will get you nowhere, you can't be angry at a baby for crying. With both, it's your responsibility to create a situation in which they behave the way you want, whether that means taking the dog outside when he needs to pee or putting the baby down when she needs to sleep (and both cases require lots of trial and error on your part). Many pet parents have told me they can't imagine loving a baby as much as they love their pets. But don't worry — you will, and having already loved unconditionally will even give you an edge. I'll confess to an ulterior motive here: I want to convince more pet-lovers to have kids. The world needs more people like you! <Leave a comment> <Return to blog home page> You might also like: Articles: Therapy Dogs and Kids: How They Help Back-to-School Separation Anxiety Videos: Preparing for a New Baby Trainer Tips for Kids and Cats Kids and Cats Introducing Dogs and Kids Tips for Kids and Dogs Share this Article: Print

Local Rivals on Tap This Week . . .
The No. 10-ranked UCLA women's tennis team (13-5; 6-2 Pac-10) rounds out the regular season this week, traveling to Pepperdine (11-7) this Thursday for a 1:30 p.m. showdown before heading home to host fourth-ranked USC (16-2; 7-1 Pac-10) on Saturday at Noon. The Bruins lead the all-time series with the Waves 40-12, including a 4-2 victory in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season. USC leads the series with UCLA 39-33. Saturday's match will not count in the Pac-10 standings, as the Women of Troy already posted a 4-3 victory over the Bruins in a Pac-10 match back on Mar. 4. Although the Bruins can't gain ground in the conference standings, Lexus Gauntlet points will be on the line, as UCLA owns a slim 45-40 lead in the all-sport race. Live stats for Saturday's match can be accessed via the UCLA website by clicking here.
Bruins Round Out Pac-10 Play . . .
UCLA defeated No. 20 Cal, 5-2 on Friday, however was beaten by top-ranked Stanford, 5-2 the following day. With the split, the Bruins end the Pac-10 season with a 6-2 overall record and are out of Pac-10 title contention, as both Stanford (6-0) and USC (7-1) have better records.
Bercek Spectacular Over the Weekend . . .
Sophomore Daniela Bercek, who headed into last week with an 0-5 record against top-10 opponents, knocked off two of the nation's best players against the Bay Area schools. She started the weekend off by defeating No. 4 Suzi Babos of Cal, 6-4, 6-1 on Friday. She followed that up a day later by posting a 2-6, 6-2, 6-2 decision over ninth-ranked Amber Liu of Stanford. Liu is the two-time defending NCAA Singles Champion.
UCLA Moves Back Into the Top-10 . . .
UCLA jumped one spot to No. 10 in this week's ITA National Team Rankings released on Tuesday. Individual rankings were last released on April 5, and the Bruins feature two top-25 singles players in No. 23 Riza Zalameda and No. 25 Daniela Bercek. Laura Gordon is also ranked, checking in at No. 98. In doubles, Bercek and Zalameda are ranked No. 2 nationally behind only Northwestern's Audra Cohen and Cristelle Grier. New team rankings will be released again next Tuesday. Individual rankings are due out again on April 19.

We clip coupons, look out for sales and scour the Internet for discount deals to save money, but have you ever thought of just asking to pay less for something? While it's the norm when buying a home or car, most Americans assume most set prices are non-negotiable. Think again! With a little know-how and a lot of courage, you can lower the cost of some of your priciest expenses. Are you thinking you just can't hack haggling? I know. I never could bring myself to haggle – even at yard sales. Then I got wise. Why pay more for what you could get for less? Negotiating sounds scary, but once you get over that initial fear, you'll find out how easy it is. Just follow these tips to get serious discounts on services, products and other expenses:
1. Cable/phone/Internet services
Ouch! Have you taken a look at your cable or phone bill lately? If you're like me, you cringe every time you open your bill, never really knowing if your bill has skyrocketed due to expired promotions. Short of cutting out your cable completely, you can lower this cost with a little negotiation — just do a little research first. Find out what competitors charge new customers, then call up your provider and tell them that you're thinking about switching providers unless they can match or beat the best deal. They'll usually respond with a deal of their own.
2. Credit card fees
We've all been there (even though we hate to admit it). You missed your credit card payment and ended up with a big ol' fee tacked on to your bill. If you generally pay on time, you can easily wipe this fee off your bill. Start off by apologizing that you were late making a payment. Explain that it was a mistake and won't happen again, then ask to have the fee waived. Usually credit card companies will waive one late fee per year. If the rep won't make an exception, tell her that you don't want this one fee to make you consider switching credit card companies. Finally, ask to speak to a supervisor.
3. Gym memberships
Most gym customer service reps will do anything to keep your business when it comes time to renew your membership. Tell your rep, "I've been a member for (fill in the blank) years, and I'd hate to have to look elsewhere for a gym. Is there anything you can do to lower my cost?" Often, the rep will be able to eliminate annual fees or lower the cost of your monthly fee.
4. Home Services
When it comes to home services (such as yard maintenance or home repair), it doesn't hurt to ask for a discount. In this economy, small businesses such as these have been forced to raise their prices — however, they're often willing to offer a discount to loyal customers. Offer to recommend their company to friends and family in exchange for a lower rate. Or, check out a few competitors, find the lowest rate, and see if they can beat it.
5. Furniture
Most furniture companies mark up their prices significantly. That means that even when they offer a sale, they're still profiting. Ask for additional discounts or a special deal like a price reduction or free delivery. You'll have a bit more leeway if you pay in cash. You can also look at competitor's prices on the same furniture set and see if they can match or beat the lowest price.
6. Mortgage and Refinance Rates
While it may not be as easy as negotiating your cable bill, you also can negotiate your mortgage or refinance rate. The housing market has tanked making lenders willing to work hard to make a deal with consumers with high credit scores. Get a few quotes from different lenders, including interest rate and projected fees. Then ask, "Here's the best offer I found. Can you beat it?" Lenders might also reduce their closing or application fees. If you're considering refinancing or buying a home, these simple negotiations can save you thousands.
Don't be afraid to haggle. You can negotiate on a lot more than you think. In fact, try using your newfound powers of negotiation on other services or products. The worst they can say is no!

I am very picky about my nails, in more ways than one! ;-) Holly does them so perfectly smooth and beautiful. Two weeks time and no lifting, that is amazing. I've tried several different gel nail gals and Holly is the one that ranks at the top. I give her a perfection rating. All my clicking and picking and typing and the nails survive and look so awesome. I love Holly!
by User128839 on
Best gel nails I've ever had. They look so natural and so gorgeous. Holly does a great job and takes the time to do it right so they stay looking great for a long time. She is also really nice and it feels like you're having a friend do your nails even at the first appointment because she's so easy to talk to. I am never going to let anyone else do my nails as long as she's around St. George!
Awesome Nails!
by User109243 on
I have gone to Holly twice now and am very pleased with her! I had never got gel nails before, I have always done acrylic but I absolutely love these! The last set of acrylics I got ruined my nails and made them very brittle and when I went to Holly to get a gel overlay my nails became stronger and every customer at the gas station I work gives me compliments on how cute my nails are! Will definately be referring her and keep going back to her.
Love my nails!
by User93661 on
I will not let anyone else work on my nails! I have been going to Holly for over a year and love my nails! If you haven't tried gel nails, this is the place you need to go, you will never go back to acrylics again. She does a great job each and every time.
by User27084 on

International religious-freedom efforts split on policies and structures
Separation of religious bodies from state policy can help allow the state to ensure that such dissent is possible. "The Turkish government has the right and authority to limit the headscarf if it interferes and destroys the rights and freedoms of others," Gaer said, "which the European Court has ruled it does. The French and the Uzbeks have a right to be concerned about public order. And the U.S. has a right to be concerned about abuse of women in the name of religion, such as abuse of minor children in polygamous sects."
But the line is a fine one, and hotly contested. The international religious freedom commission this past week shocked diplomatic circles by recommending Turkey for the list of Countries of Particular Concern. The report pointed to "systematic and egregious limitations on the freedom of religion or belief that affect all religious communities in Turkey, and particularly threaten the country's non-Muslim religious minorities."
"Any unbiased eye will immediately realize that that's not where Turkey belongs," retorted Ambassador Namik Tan, according to the Washington Post. "The categorization of Turkey as a CPC list country not only damages the credibility and relevance of the (U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom), but also raises serious questions about the political motivation that drives this exercise."
The commission's CPC designation sparked friction even among commissioners who felt Turkey had made significant progress and that isolating the regime at this moment was unfair. After the vote one commissioner tried to change his position, which would have reversed the outcome. But the commission would not allow the change, according to sources and published accounts. The result was an uncharacteristic public flap that overshadowed the recommendation itself.
Feet to the fire
For all of the controversy surrounding the commission's confrontations, mild critics like John Hanford acknowledge its valuable role. When it faced extinction last fall, he lobbied for its extension and urged that it remain at nine members, not be cut to five as had been proposed.
Lurking behind discussions of the status of the commission is the alternative, which is to integrate religious freedom entirely into the State Department. In his book, Thomas Farr lamented the isolation of religious freedom, which he says is deepened "by those who do not trust the department and are unwilling to invest the political capital necessary to help integrate IRF into the foreign policy mainstream."
But some are leery of fully integrating international religious freedom into the State Department. Those who support a voice outside the department argue that if the commission disappeared, careerist indifference or political agendas within the bureaucracy would lower the profile of religious freedom.
Some see these fears borne out in the Obama administration, which waited more than a year to appoint its first religious freedom ambassador-at-large, and then appointed Suzan Johnson Cook, a clergywoman with strong domestic experience but no diplomatic or non-governmental organization experience in international religious freedom issues or other human rights subfields.
Many concerned about international religious freedom were reluctant to directly criticize Johnson Cook's appointment, but there is a clear sense that stronger credentials were expected.
"You can expect me to say that the ambassador should come from the career foreign service," said Ambassador Randolph Bell, a prominent retired foreign service officer who worked extensively on post-Holocaust issues and now heads the First Freedom Center. "Some great people come from outside the professional ranks," he said, but then "you would want someone with hard-core NGO experience abroad."
A valid choice, Bell said, "would know how to work the bureaucracy and have to bone up on religious freedom issues, or the other way around." Because Johnson Cook has neither key variable, many argued that her appointment indicated the administration had downgraded the importance of international religious freedom.
Her appointment first was derailed via a private hold from one senator. She was re-appointed and confirmed a year later. In that long interval, critics note, an Obama administration with no reluctance about recess appointments failed to push one through for her. Others add that her formal status within the State Department was downgraded, and the staff which had previously been under the international religious freedom ambassador's control were shifted away.

Conran and Partners' design concept for the project responds to the essential elements of the site: its location on the very edge of Tokyo, its adjacency to the Tamagawa River and the shift across its one kilometre length, from the urbanity of the railway station to the west, to the park to the east. As such, the scheme reflects the site's important transitionary role at the threshold between city and nature in this popular, family-orientated neighbourhood.

UM women to face Penn State in ACC/Big Ten Challenge
CORAL GABLES – Miami's women's basketball team will play Penn State at home Nov. 29 as part of the ACC/Big Ten Women's Basketball Challenge.
The Nittany Lions were Big Ten regular-season champs last season and advanced to the Sweet 16 before losing to No. 1 seed UConn.
The Hurricanes will also play traditional powerhouse Tennessee at the BankUnited Center this upcoming season. The date of that game, as well as the rest of the schedule, will be released at a later time.
"With an already challenging schedule, the addition of Penn State makes this one of our toughest schedules ever," UM coach Katie Meier said in a statement. "Our fans at the BankUnited Center will be in for a treat as Penn State has one of the best returning teams in the nation and should be among the Top 10 when the season begins.
"This is a great matchup and I'm looking forward to facing one of the top coaches in the game in Coquese Washington."
The Hurricanes advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year this past season before losing to Gonzaga. They finished with a 26-6 record.

Is bitcoin in a bubble or is it just tweaking its protocol? According to Nobel laureate economist Robert Shiller, bitcoin is in a bubble and its future doesn't seem too bright after a rollercoaster ride this past month.
Writing an op-ed piece in the New York Times on Saturday entitled "In Search of a Stable Electronic Currency," Shiller, a Keynesian economist, said that although it's likely bitcoin is in a bubble and will eventually burst, good things can still arise from the virtual currency.
"Bitcoin's future is very much in doubt. Yet whatever becomes of it, something good can arise from its innovations — even if the results are very different from its current form or its numerous competitors," wrote Shiller. "What I have in mind isn't another wave of price speculation. Instead, I believe that electronic forms of money could give us better pricing, contracting and risk management."
The rise of bitcoin, says Shiller, is a perfect illustration of a speculative bubble: a "fad, a mania" of a certain asset that its holders expect to appreciate in value. However, the digital currency doesn't solve any basic economic matters, says Shiller.
"Bitcoin has been focused on the wrong classical functions of money, as a medium of exchange and a store of value," stated Shiller. Traditional forms of money, such as government-issued fiat currency, works fine for those aspects, but a new unit of account is needed more and should be developed by "business people."
Shiller isn't the only individual in academics or in business to lambast bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Over the past few months, there have been an array of world-renowned experts that have criticized bitcoin, such as Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, CNBC's Larry Kudlow and many others.

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Another night, another comeback for the Mississippi State baseball team.
The 23rd-ranked MSU squad posted its seventh come-from-behind victory, rallying from down three runs in the seventh inning to defeat Penn State 10-6 Wednesday night at Dudy Noble Field.
The Bulldogs pounded out 13 hits and overcame three errors to win their sixth straight contest. At 12-2, MSU is off to its best start the since 2006 squad won its first 18 games. Penn State dropped 2-9. Coupled with last night's 7-3 victory, MSU completes a two-game sweep in the first-ever meeting between the two baseball teams.
"I was really pleased our kids rallied around losing those two kids and decided we weren't going to lose that game," MSU head coach John Cohen said. "Our pitching did an adequate job tonight. We are counting on a lot of freshmen. I am happy that we found a way to come back and win."
The Bulldogs lost the services of third baseman Daryl Norris (twisted knee) and center fielder C.T. Bradford (jammed shoulder) during Wednesday night's win. The status of both players will be evaluated Thursday.
Penn State scored twice in the first inning and built an early 3-0 lead.
The Bulldogs answered with two scores in the home half of the third inning. Matthew Britton began the inning with a leadoff single - the Bulldogs' first hit of the contest. After a strikeout, Bradford reached as a hit batsman. Adam Frazier followed with an RBI-single, while Norris drove home a run with a groundout.
MSU starting pitcher Will Cox was touched for another run before being lifted after the fourth inning. Cox allowed five hits and four runs (three earned), with three strikeouts.
The Bulldogs closed within 4-3 on a Wes Rea double and Mitch Slauter RBI-single in the home half of the sixth inning.
Penn State then reached MSU reliever Brandon Woodruff for a pair of runs (one unearned) in the seventh inning. A bases-loaded walk issued Elliot Searer ran the Nittany Lions out to a 6-3 advantage.
MSU battled back for a 7-6 lead with four scores in the home half of the seventh inning. Demarcus Henderson began the rally with a base hit. Two different PSU relievers then walked the next three Bulldogs in a row. A wild pitch plated the next score. An RBI-single by Hunter Renfroe tied the game. A sacrifice fly by Slauter placed the Maroon and White on top for good.
From there, the MSU relief trio of Jonathan Holder, Jacob Lindgren and Caleb Reed combined for 2.2 innings of shutout relief to close out the win. Lindgren picked up his first win with the Maroon and White.
In the eighth inning, the Bulldogs plated critical insurance scores on a throwing error and two-run double by Frazier.
Frazier, Rea, Renfroe and Henderson each finished with multiple hits for the Bulldogs. Frazier finished with three RBIs.
Penn State totaled nine hits. The Nittany Lions had multiple hits from Steve Snyder and Zach Ell. Evan Dixon (0-1), the fourth of six PSU pitchers, took the loss.
MSU completes its season-opening 17-game homestand with a three-game series against Mercer this weekend. The Bulldogs and Bears play at 6:30 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.

Certainly there is no hunting like the hunting of man and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never really care for anything else thereafter.
Nueve Reinas - Awesome Argentina film
pan's labyrinth - is good too
Old Boy
Canadian Bacon
The original English (England) version of Death at a Funeral is hilarious also...
The Motorcycle Diaries
My cousin, who grew up in Caracas, Venezuela, had me watch this when she was teaching me Spanish - I learned a lot of this language and also got a lot out of the movie...Great movie.

MUHS nips Spartans, 3-2, in state volleyball semifinals
East rallies twice, only to just fall short in finale
The youthful Brookfield East boys volleyball team battled back twice, but then just fell short in a wild fifth set and dropped a 3-2 decision to Marquette on Saturday afternoon at the WIAA State Tournament at Wisconsin Lutheran College.
Marquette (23-2) won the first set (25-17), but the Spartans came back to even the score at 1-1 with a second set win (25-23). The Hilltoppers then won the third set (25-20), only to see East rally to even it up at 2-2 (26-24).
Finally, in set five, each team kept fighting off match-point before Marquette finally won, 23-21.
"Whatever you do in life, all you can control is your effort and what you do," East coach Tim Owen said. "I thought our guys put their best shot out there. And if you get beat, you can live with that. I don't think there were many game fives in state history that went to 23-21."
In a wild finale, Marquette had match-point five times before finally winning the set. The Spartans had match point twice, but couldn't but the Hilltoppers away.
Marquette senior Joe Coplan had three huge kills down the stretch, while East junior Graydon Schroeder matched him kill for kill.
Coplan finished with 22 kills while senior Quin Rowen added 16, senior Nathan Anonuevo added 8 digs and senior Will Cotter had 55 assists to lead MUHS.
East's Schroeder had 14 kills, junior Matt Klassen added 13, junior Mark Abuls 10 and sophomore Matt Szews had nine. Abuls had 8 digs, freshman Nick Watry had 23 assists and junior Jared Wilgus had 22.
Set 1: MUHS led 17-13 and then went on an 8-4 run to put the set away as Coplan had some key kills in the final stretch.
Set 2: East started fast, lead 5-0, as Marquette coach Eric Sullivan called time out when it was 4-0. Marquette then went on a 6-2 run to take an 8-6 advantage. The teams exchanged points for a while, before the Hilltoppers took a 23-21 lead and it looked like it was going to be a short night for the Spartans. But East scored four straight points to win the set and even it at 1-1.
Set 3: This was the most lop-sided match as MUHS took a 17-10 lead, East rallied to within 24-20, but then Coplan killed a shot and the Hilltoppers took a 2-1 lead.
Set 4: The Spartans, with their backs to the wall, trailed 13-10 when they went on a 7-2 run to take a 17-15 lead. Both teams then gave a preview of what was to come, as the score was tied at 17-17, 18-18, 19-19, 20-20, 21-21, 22-22, 23-23 and 24-24, as neither team could put pull away. Finally Szews and Abuls killed shots back-to-back and East tied the match at 2-2.
"In the last game (set 5) down the stretch, it wasn't that people were making errors, there was some good volleyball," Owen said. "In the end, they made one more play. That's the way volleyball works sometimes. The ball is six inches farther, one way it's out. Six inches farther another way, its in. All you can do is put your best shot out there and I thought we did.
"And we got beat. But we got beat by a good team. If you give it your best, you can always live with the result no matter what it is and I couldn't be prouder of those guys. It's a special group."

Justice Kennedy: Individual Mandate Would Fundamentally Alter Citizen-Government Relationship
Justice Anthony Kennedy, considered the likely key player in the Supreme Court case over President Obama's health care law, asked a series of questions in today's hearings that has everyone in Washington buzzing. Here is every question Justice Kennedy asked today.
PP 4-5: "Can you create commerce in order to regulate it?"
PP 11-12: "Could you help - help me with this. Assume for the moment - you may disagree. Assume for the moment that this is unprecedented, this is a step beyond what our cases have allowed, the affirmative duty to act to go into commerce. If that is so, do you not have a heavy burden of justification? I understand that we must presume laws are constitutional, but, even so, when you are changing the relation of the individual to the government in this, what we can stipulate is, I think, a unique way, do younot have a heavy burden of justification to show authorization under the Constitution?"
P 16: "Well, then your question is whether or not there are any limits on the Commerce Clause. Can you identify for us some limits on the Commerce Clause?"
PP 16-17: "But why not? If Congress - if Congress says that the interstate commerce is affected, isn't, according to your view, that the end of the analysis?"
P 24: "I'm not sure which way it cuts. If the Congress has alternate means, let's assume it can use the tax power to raise revenue and to just have a national health service, single payer. How does that factor into our analysis? In the one sense, it can be argued that this is what the government is doing; it ought to be honest about the power that it's using and use the correct power. On the other hand, it means that since the Court can do it anyway - Congress can do it anyway, we give a certain amount of latitude. I'm not sure which the way the argument goes."
P 30: "But the reason, the reason this is concerning, is because it requires the individual to do an affirmative act. In the law of torts our tradition, our law, has been that you don't have the duty to rescue someone if that person is in danger. The blind man is walking in front of a car and you do not have a duty to stop him absent some relation between you. And there is some severe moral criticisms of that rule, but that's generally the rule. And here the government is saying that the Federal Government has a duty to tell the individual citizen that it must act, and that is different from what we have in previous cases and that changes the relationship of the Federal Government to the individual in the very fundamental way."
PP 55-56: "Was the government's argument this - and maybe I won't state it accurately - it is true that the noninsured young adult is, in fact, an actuarial reality insofar as our allocation of health services, insofar as the way health insurance companies figure risks? That person who is sitting at home in his or her living room doing nothing is an actuarial reality that can and must be measured for health service purposes; is that their argument?"
P 69: "But they are in the market in the sense that they are creating a risk that the market must account for."
P 103: "I agree - I agree that that's what's happening here." (This one, he's agreeing with Carvin's statement that "They used the 20 percent or whoever among the uninsured as a leverage to regulate the 100 percent of the uninsured.")
P 103: "And the government tells us that's because the insurance market is unique. And in the next case, it'll say the next market is unique. But I think it is true that if most questions in life are matters of degree, in the insurance and health care world, both markets - stipulate two markets - the young person who is uninsured is uniquely proximately very close to affecting the rates of insurance and the costs of providing medical care in a way that is not true in other industries. That's my concern in the case."
That "fundamental way" comment in particular has supporters of the health care law very concerned, to say the least. I'll be liveblogging today's events once again. Please join in below.

On January 28th, 2014, Glenn Beck, who has already called for President Obama to be impeached multiple times (then denied it), responded to the President's State of the Union address by claiming it was the SOTU where he "declared he would become America's first dictator."
"Over and over again," said Beck, "looking us in the eye, he said he would use his executive power to get his way. He bragged about it!"
In addition to peddling conspiracy theories (and insisting that he isn't a conspiracy theorist and that Obama is conspiring to make him look like one), Glenn Beck is infamous for insisting that everything under the sun is an example of tyranny (Nazi Germany especially), so this latest tantrum is hardly surprising.
Back in that thing Glenn Beck has spent the latter part of his career fighting against called reality, Obama had only pledged to act on his own where he legally could, and only then if Congress once again refused to budge.
Beck urged his listeners to note this day in their diaries so that future generations will know the true history, which is that "this was the State of the Union where our president declared he would become America's first dictator."
If this sounds familiar, it should: Beck has repeatedly told his listeners to record dates that he insists will be known as moments when Democracy supposedly died.

If you live in Dubuque, Iowa, you are probably familiar with a location there called "Kelly's Bluff." If you are not from Dubuque, you will become familiar with it after reading this article and watching the video.
In 1808, Thomas Kelly was born in King's County Ireland. He later ventured to America before the great "Irish Potato Famine" struck Ireland. After arriving in America, he traveled some, but finally settled on the bluffs behind St. Raphael's Cathedral in Dubuque in 1832. He immediately began mining for lead ore and became quite prosperous doing so. Reports are that Kelly was a miser and did not believe in banks, so he hid his fortune in the ground at different locations on the bluff. Even though Kelly brought some family members to Dubuque later, he did not leave a will when he died in 1867, but left a note that informed people if they wanted his gold, they would have to search for it.
Kelly lived a very secretive life, and some believe he may have killed a man in New York and escaped an insane asylum to return to Dubuque in 1857. When Kelly died in 1867, his estate was believed to be worth between $50,000 and $200,000, without the hidden gold.
Since his death, some of his gold has been found in three different caches. One of the findings contained $1,800 in gold, and another was $1,200, while the third, which was found in an iron chest by two boys, contained $10,000 in eagle and double eagle coins. The "mother lode" of Kelly's gold is still believed to be buried on the property in another iron chest.
Kelly's Bluff is now a subdivision of privately owned homes and condos, and it will be to the discretion of the individuals living there to believe if there is more gold on Kelly's Bluff or if it was just a "bluff" made by Kelly? Be sure to watch the video in this article.

Biellmann, F; Hulsmeier, A; Zhou, D; Cinelli, P; Hennet, T (2008). The Lc3-synthase gene B3gnt5 is essential to pre-implantation development of the murine embryo. BMC Developmental Biology, 8:109.

BACKGROUND: Glycosphingolipids (GSL) are integral components of mammalian cell membranes that are involved in cell adhesion and cell signaling processes. GSL are subdivided into structural series, like ganglio-, lacto/neolacto-, globo- and isoglo-series, which are defined by distinct trisaccharide cores. The beta1,3 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-V (B3gnt5) enzyme catalyzes the formation of the Lc3 structure, which is the core of lactoseries derived GSL. RESULTS: The biological significance of the glycoconjugates produced by the B3gnt5 enzyme was investigated by inactivating the B3gnt5 gene in the mouse germline. The disruption of the B3gnt5 protein-coding region in mouse embryonic stem cells resulted in reduced Lc3-synthase activity, supporting its specific contribution to lactoseries derived GSL synthesis. Breeding of heterozygous mutant mice failed to produce any viable progeny homozygous for the B3gnt5-null allele. The genotypic examination of embryos from heterozygous crosses showed that the disruption of the B3gnt5 gene leads to pre-implantation lethality. This finding was compatible with the expression pattern of the B3gnt5 gene in the pre-implantation embryo as shown by in situ hybridization. The analysis of GSL profiles in embryonic stem cells heterozygous for the B3gnt5-null allele confirmed the reduced levels of lactoseries derived GSL levels and of other GSL species. CONCLUSION: The disruption of the B3gnt5 gene in mice affected the expression of lactoseries derived GLS and possibly of protein-bound beta3GlcNAc-linked glycans, thereby demonstrating an essential contribution of these glycoconjugates in early embryonic development, and supporting the importance of these glycoconjugates in cell differentiation and adhesion processes.

Netanyahu: Iran Sanctions Good, But Not Enough
Prime Minister: effective sanctions must continue to be imposed on petrochemical industries and Iranian central bank.
By Gil Ronen
First Publish: 11/24/2011, 4:52 PM
Netanyahu and Boc
Flash 90
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu expressed satisfaction Thursday with the latest sanctions imposed on Iran by the United States, Britain and Canada. He warned, however, that they were not enough.
At his joint press conference with Romanian Prime Minister Emil Boc, Netanyahu said:
"The goal of Iran's nuclear program had been the subject of controversy but it is no longer such. Iran is vigorously working to achieve a nuclear weapon. This is the threat against Israel, against the region and against the entire world.
"While it is very important that significant economic sanctions have been imposed, it is insufficient. Effective sanctions must continue to be imposed on its petrochemical industries and on the Iranian central bank as well, and soon," he added.
The United States expanded its sanctions against Iran this week to include the country's Central Bank and its entire financial system, because of Tehran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
"If you are a financial institution and you engage in any transaction involving Iran's Central Bank or any other Iranian bank operating inside or outside Iran, you are at risk of supporting Iran's illicit activities: its pursuit of nuclear weapons, its support for terrorism, and its efforts to deceive responsible financial institutions and evade sanctions," Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said in a press conference Monday.

Birmingham, September 10, 2009 - Packt Publishing today announced that Jeff Potts is winner of the Packt Author of the Year Award for his acclaimed book, Alfresco Developer Guide .
Alfresco Developer Guide is Potts' first book, published in October last year. His book was judged best written out of a set of 6 nominated titles, including books about Drupal, Ext JS, JavaScript, and SOA.
"I am excited and honored to win the award," said Potts, "especially because I know there were several popular and well-written books among the finalists."
Judges praised the book for "providing a strong balance of background, actionable items, and wisdom" and bringing a complex, challenging topic "down to earth".
The winner receives a $1000 cash prize and an engraved Packt Author of the Year 2009 trophy.
Any Packt author who published a book in 2008 was eligible for the 2009 award. Six finalists were selected on the basis of an open vote, where readers could nominate their favorite eligible book. Packt then sent copies of these books to expert judges, who gave their opinions and evaluation of each title. The judges' verdict put the Alfresco Developer Guide on top. Packt strives to be a rewarding publisher to work with, and a first choice for first time and veteran technical book authors.
"We're pleased that this award gives us another chance to reward and thank our authors for their hard work," said David Barnes, Packt Acquisition Editor and organizer of the award. "We give our authors excellent royalty terms and all the assistance we can to help them with writing and then to market their work, so that the whole process is as rewarding as possible. Most of our authors write in their limited free time alongside demanding full time jobs and this award gives us another, more fun way to reward and thank our authors."
The Packt Author of the Year Award aims to acknowledge and reward authors whose books are written to an exceptional standard, provide the most practical and useful assistance to readers, and that enrich the tech community as a whole.
The other finalists for the award were:
Packt is always keen to attract new authors to write new tech books. Anybody interested in becoming a Packt author, and perhaps winning the award in a future year,should visit authors.packtpub.com and give Packt their details.

Timing is key to filing a mechanic's lien
When entering a home improvement contract in Maryland, you should be familiar with the mechanics lien law so that you may protect yourself from potentially paying twice for the same project. Today we will discuss timing requirements.
A mechanic's lien is a claim against the property on which work was done or materials supplied. Mechanic's liens laws exist in every state to protect the rights of contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers. This means that anyone involved with the construction project on your property has the right to lien for non-payment, even if you paid your general contractor in full. Therefore, prior to making the final payment to your contractor, you must receive a lien release. This is a document in which the contractor declares that he has paid everyone connected with the project in full and that no one has a claim against your property.
Maryland's Mechanics' Lien Law (Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. Art. §9-101 et seq.) is very strict with regard to timing of filing and notice requirements. In Maryland, you must receive a notice of intent to lien from any claimant within one hundred twenty (120) days of his last day of work on your project (do not confuse this with four months, it is exactly 120 days). To prove he fulfilled the timing requirement, this notice will typically be sent via certified mail, return receipt requested.
Anyone seeking to make a claim for non-payment must be in strict compliance of the notice timing requirements. Failure to properly serve notice within this time line will invalidate the claim and bar the claimant from obtaining a mechanic's lien.

Feb. 6, 2000
UCLA defender Steve Shak (Cerritos, Calif./Gahr HS) became the second Bruin to be chosen as the No. 1 overall pick in the Major League Soccer draft in the league's five-year history.
Shak, a Hermann Trophy candidate in 1998, was chosen by the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. He follows in the footsteps of 1996 All-American Tahj Jakins, who the Colorado Rapids chose as the No. 1 pick in the 1997 draft.
Defender Carlos Bocanegra (Alta Loma, Calif./Alta Loma HS), who left UCLA a year early for MLS, was chosen fourth by 1998 MLS Champion Chicago, where he will join former Bruins Sam George and Ante Razov.
Two former Bruin stars will stay close to home and under more than familiar coaching environments. Former UCLA head coach and current Los Angeles Galaxy head coach Sigi Schmid chose midfielder Sasha Victorine (Corona, Calif./Rio Americano HS) in the first round (11th overall pick) and midfielder Pete Vagenas (Pasadena, Calif./St. Francis HS) in the second round (23rd overall pick).
Goalkeeper Nick Rimando (Montclair, Calif./Montclair HS) was chosen by the Miami Fusion in the third round (35th overall pick).
The two first-round picks from UCLA this year are a first since the inaugural MLS collegiate draft in 1996, when Adam Frye and Chris Snitko were chosen Nos. 4 and 5, respectively. This is also the third year in which five Bruins were chosen in the first three rounds.
2000 MLS Super-Draft (first two rounds) Round 1 1. MetroStars: Steve Shak (UCLA) 2. Kansas City: Nick Garcia (Indiana) 3. Colorado: Adin Brown (William & Mary) 4. Chicago: Carlos (UCLA) 5.

UFC 166 by the numbers, Cain v. Junior III / Cormier v. Nelson
: Velasquez has eight UFC victories by KO/TKO, most by any heavyweight in company history. The 8 KO/TKO wins are tied for fifth all-time. Tied for second on the heavyweight list is dos Santos with seven.
: Velasquez lands 57 percent of his significant strikes, seventh highest all-time and tops among active heavyweights. In his victory over dos Santos, Velasquez landed 50 percent of his significant strikes (111 of 224). Cigano landed 49 percent of his significant strikes.
: In their last fight, Velasquez secured 11 takedowns on dos Santos, a career high for the former All-American from Arizona State. Before that fight, opponents had taken down dos Santos twice in 17 attempts (88 percent defense). Velasquez lands an average of 6.5 takedowns per 15 minutes.
: Both fighters land over 5 significant strikes per minute in UFC fights. Velasquez is first with 6.50 significant strikes per minute while dos Santos is 7th at 5.46 significant strikes per minute. They are 1st and 3rd respectively in the UFC heavyweight division all-time (Stipe Miocic 5.48).
: There have been three title fights in UFC history to take place in Houston. Champions Frankie Edgar and Jose Aldo retained their titles at UFC 136. The biggest upset in UFC history also occurred in Houston as Matt Serra defeated Georges St-Pierre for the welterweight title at UFC 69.
: Of the 15 men who have held a version of the UFC heavyweight title, four have defended the title two consecutive times. Randy Couture defeated Pedro Rizzo twice in 2001. Andrei Arlovski defended an interim title against Justin Eilers and then the undisputed title against Paul Buentello in 2005. Tim Sylvia defeated Arlovski for the title, and then defended against him and Jeff Monson in 2006. Brock Lesnar defended his undisputed title against interim champions Frank Mir in 2009 and Shane Carwin in 2010.
: Velasquez vs. dos Santos III will be the 10th trilogy in UFC history. Of the previous 9 to be completed, only one has taken place within the UFC heavyweight division (Sylvia vs Arlovski). As Velasquez did against dos Santos, Sylvia lost the first fight and his interim title at UFC 51, but then won it back at UFC 59 in the second matchup. In the final installment less than three months later, Sylvia was victorious again at UFC 61.
: Cormier has landed an average of 26 more significant strikes in each of his nine UFC/Strikeforce fights over his career. In his last fight, he outlanded Frank Mir 59-24 en route to a unanimous decision victory. Cormier has never been outstruck in any of those nine fights. Nelson was outstruck in his last fight by Stipe Miocic 106-23.
: Knockout of the Night awards for Nelson, tied for second most all-time and 1st among heavyweights. All four of those victories were in the first round as well as nine of his 12 career KO/TKO wins. Cormier has five victories by KO/TKO, three of which occurred in the first round.[/quote]
