I'm excited to announce the launch of MMA Socialites in partnership with Lani Carwin, wife of UFC Heavyweight contender Shane Carwin. MMA Socialites was created as a way to bring the fans into the lives of MMA fighters and their families, as well as all others deeply involved in this sport, within a community atmosphere. We've taken our passion for the sport and the lifestyle we both live, coupled with the stories we're told, to share with you, the fans. Regardless of the juncture, whether training for the first MMA fight or defending a title, every fighter has a story to tell and we wanted to share them with you.
Our goal is to tell the stories of the fighters outside the cage, and present the side of them that fans rarely see. We're confident that by showing the fans who these fighters are outside the cage, the more MMA will gain mainstream acceptance and the more the sport will grow. We won't focus on breaking news, but rather on interviews, event coverage, as well as community meet-ups at events. We'll bring you into the lives of the fighters, their families, and get the perspective and stories of those non-fighters that still play a key role in the growth of this sport.
Lani says "I am thrilled to be involved with MMA Socialites, and the launch of the site is so exciting! The MMA industry is a passion of mine; not only because my husband, Shane Carwin, is a top-notch talent in the UFC, but because the potential for growth and advancement of the sport is incredible. As my knowledge base has grown through the years of my direct exposure, my excitement for the sport has as well. MMA Socialites was born to expose an entire population, a group that has been completely neglected, to something they are just as interested in as I am. There are so many women that love the sport and crave more knowledge and insight into our industry. We are here to bring that - to give them a place to bond, gain insight, and attain a whole different perspective that I have no doubt will be so interesting for them. Thank you to Rachel for all her hard work - and let the ride begin!"
And what a ride it will be. Please come and join the community -www.mmasocialites.com- to stay in the loop on our efforts, also, follow us on twitter. If there's a fighter or fighter's wife you want us to interview just email and let us know. We want to hear from you, the fans!

Tonight on a new episode of "Big Brother 16" Caleb and Devin believe that Donny Thompson was in the Army. He has told everyone from day one that he is a groundskeeper. He says that he takes care of the grounds at a school. On this Wednesday night episode of "Big Brother 16," fans started wondering if there is more to Donny than they know.
Devin just doesn't believe him. He even went to him tonight asking him to come clean if he was willing to do it. Donny showed them that he doesn't have any hair on his legs up to a little below his knees. He says that this was because of wearing long socks all the time. The guys decided that it had to do with him wearing Army boots.
Donny told Devin that he had always wanted to be in the Army as a little boy but that he never did it. He even said that if he wins HOH he will show them his picture. Donny was upset that Devin didn't trust him. He says that he was never in the military and wouldn't even admit it to the cameras when nobody was around.
Wet Paint shared a lot about Donny earlier this season. They do not have any information about him being in the Army either. Normally if this was the case CBS would have this information. They would share it but he would have the option to not tell the house guests the truth. There is no reason out there for anyone to believe that he was in the Army.
Bustle has a picture of him without a beard. He still has facial hair though and doesn't look like a clean cut Army man. He just looks like a normal guy without a beard.
Don't miss new episodes of "Big Brother 16" three nights a week. So far Donny Thompson is a fan favorite and could win the hearts of millions. Hopefully he can find a way to convince the house guests to keep him around.

"Detective" - Chapter 11
Writer: Bryan Q. Miller
Penciller: Axel Gimenez
Inker: Diana Egea
Reviewed by: Marc Pritchard
Meanwhile, Leviathan's security system has alerted Lois and Barbara to the approaching thugs. They (Lois and Barbara) hold their own in self-defense until a lull in the fighting brings a distraction sufficient to allow a group of the thugs to get within point blank range. Cut to Superman's battle with Loomis, where even after the mechanically-assisted Prankster tears the Wayne-made shielding suit off Superman's body and exposes him to Kryptonite, Superman prevails by shorting out Loomis's suit and bringing the roof crashing down on it with his heat vision (thus nullifying the effects of the Kryptonite) after hauling Loomis clear.
Loomis, held aloft in Superman's grip, then gloats that "their blood" will be on Superman's hands, not just his, and that he, Loomis, has won.
The stealth bombers from the Air Force base have just fired on Leviathan.
Story - 5: Here's the weird thing: although I continue to struggle with why any of what has been happening in this story has been happening - what it all means, if I can be so cliché - nevertheless I found this particular chapter to come closer to the way Smallville acted on me generally than any previous chapter. It's the little things, of course, and I'm pretty sure the final scene in particular, where all the energy moves electrifyingly into Clark having to super-speed against impossible odds to save someone he cares about (usually his love interest, as in this case), is most of it.
Of course, the release of that energy would most likely have occurred within minutes after being set up if this still was a television show, not days (excepting the occasional cliffhanging two-parter) from now, but the feeling is there. It's ineffable, maybe impossible to actually describe. But it's there, just the same, where before it hasn't been. Not all of that is necessarily good, but it's better, just the same - sum is greater than the parts kind of stuff.
You may not have felt it, or perhaps you always do. But I don't, and did. It was there in the dramatic irony of having the air traffic guy, off-panel, use the word "prank"; in the coyness with which Clark acknowledges Prankster's Kryptonite; in the way Freeze announces he's not in control of himself and the police, with all seeming sincerity, respond by asking him to stop; in this Green Arrow being ineffectual if it means comic relief; in Prankster's brief mention of "The Blur"; in the too-convenient way Supes is able to take down Loomis's suit; and, of course, as mentioned, in the ending.
Some of these kinds of things are probably always present, but this week it just seemed to add up to a... presence I've not felt, since... Oops, wrong universe. That's how comparatively powerfully I'm feeling this.
(Except from Captain Carrot. On the television show, that would have been Warrior Angel or Devilicus, and I'm kind of disappointed such wasn't done here. But this is tiny unripened potatoes, really.)
But, so, yeah - this was Smallville, for better, for worse, and for everything both transcendent and in between. Cool.
Art - 5: The all-new artistic team on this week's issue has, I think, just produced some of my favorite work on this title so far. Pencils in particular have been unstable of late, and it's my hope that both Gimenez and Egea stick around for a while. Can I get an Amen?

On Wednesday morning, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 4, a flagship device that includes a 5.7-inch QHD Super AMOLED display and 3GB of RAM. Samsung also claims that the Note 4 has a 7.5% better battery life and and can charge in 30 minutes. Despite what Apple fanatics claim, this may be the smartphone of the year.
Unfortunately, Samsung will not release the Galaxy Note 4 in the Unites States until early October. This is a big mistake according to Los Angeles Industry Analyst Paul Mueller. "The new iPhone will be released in a couple of weeks and take away all the good attention from the Galaxy Note 4. In terms of marketing, this does not look good for Samsung--at all," Mueller tells us.
However, Miller perhaps doesn't realize that even though Apple will release the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 in a couple of weeks, the 5.5-inch phablet version likely won't be available for another month. Thus, it's likely that the consumer Samsung is targeting will be able to buy the Galaxy Note 4 before the iPhone 6 phablet.
Samsung is also thinking about the long term and launching a virtual reality headset for the Galaxy Note 4 later this year. The Gear VR headset, made by Oculus, requires no wires at all. One of our major complaints about the Oculus Rift DK2 is the fact that the device gets easily tangled up in wires, making it somewhat uncomfortable to use. This won't be the case with the Galaxy Note virtual reality headset, although we wonder if the Note is powerful enough to provide a proper virtual reality experience.
You can get a good idea of how the Galaxy Note 4 and the new virtual reality set works here. We can hardly wait to get our hands on this!

Some Great Shopping
Union St
(near Fillmore St intersection)
San Francisco, CA
Union Street stretches over nearly the entire width of San Francisco; along the way it intersects some of its most interesting neighborhoods. Along its western end used to be a bar where Jefferson Airplane was formed, whereas its middle now crosses serene Cow Hollow. However, where Union meets downtown is clearly the most developed area, where hundreds of restaurants and shops provide food and entertainment to San Franciscans. Obviously, Union Square is a good place to start, where luxury stores beckon, and department stores tower over the visitors. If you take the street west, you will find an endless array of gift shops, art stores, jewelry stores--stores that sell anything that can be bought, for as long as your legs can take you.
Best Modes of Transportation:
Parking Availability: Limited
Average Price per Hour: $0-$5
Notes: There is metered street parking along Union Street.

Roman P. Mosqueda, Esq.
As of September 23, 2003, for permanent employment (immigrant) workers,
and as of July 26, 2004, for temporary employment (nonimmigrant) workers, aliens
seeking admission to the United States as health care workers are required to
present a certification that he or she has met the minimum requirements for
training, licensure and English proficiency.
The seven (7) health care occupations requiring such certification issued
by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) or an
equivalent credentialing organization are:
1. Licensed
Practical Nurses, Licensed Vocational Nurses, and Registered Nurses;
Occupational Therapists;
Physical Therapists;
Speech Language Pathologists
and Audiologists;
Medical Technologists (Clinical Laboratory Scientists);
Physicians Assistants; and
Medical Technicians (Clinical Laboratory Technicians).
The health care worker certification (VisaScreen Certificate issued by
CGFNS/ICHP) is good for five (5) years and needs to be renewed before the 5-year
period is up.
The regulations require that the certification should be presented to
the Consular Officer of the Department of State at the time of interview for
immigrant visa issuance, or to the Department of Homeland Security (United
States Citizenship and Immigration Services) at the time of admission, change of
status, or request for extension of stay by a nonimmigrant health care worker.
Nonimmigrant Health Care Workers
(H-1C, H-1B, J, O, or TN):
The final regulation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
requiring certification of foreign health care workers was published on July 25,
2003, and became effective on September 23, 2003.
But the DHS waived the ground of inadmissibility for nonimmigrant health
care workers without the certification, for a period of one year after
publication of its final rule.
So, starting July 26, 2004, an alien nonimmigrant seeking admission to
the United States, change of status, or extension of stay to perform labor as a
health care worker must provide evidence of health care worker certification.
For an nonimmigrant health care worker, (usually H-1C, H-1B, J, O, or TN
applicant), the health care worker certification will be required at the time
of filing of the application for extension of stay or change of status with
the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
And in the case of an alien applying for a nonimmigrant health care
worker visa abroad, the health care worker certification will be required at
the time of filing of the application for nonimmigrant health care worker visa
with the appropriate U.S. Consular Post .
Immigrant Health Care Workers:
For Those Outside The
United States:
The employer's Form I-140, Immigrant Petition For Alien Worker, can be
filed with the appropriate Service Center (California Service Center for
California-based employers) with supporting documentation, even though the alien
health care worker outside of the United States does not have the health care
worker certification.
But at the time of application for immigrant visa and interview
and issuance thereof, the alien health care worker will be required to present
the health care worker certification, for the immigrant's visa to be issued at
the U.S. Consular Post.
For Those In The
United States:
An alien health care worker may be eligible to adjust to lawful permanent
resident status here in the United States, if he or she has not overstayed, or
incurred unlawful presence.
But even if he or she has overstayed or has incurred unlawful presence,
Section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act may allow him or her to
adjust here, if he or she is grandfathered by the filing of an application for
labor certification or a family petition (I-130) on or before April 30, 2001.
And Section 245(k) of the same Act allows priority workers, professionals
with advanced degrees etc., and skilled workers and professionals and other
workers, such as health care workers, who are eligible to receive immigrant
visas, to adjust status here, if -
"1. the alien, on the
date of filing an application for adjustment of status, is present in the United
States pursuant to a lawful admission;
2. the alien, subsequent to such lawful admission has not,
for an aggregate period exceeding 180 days –
failed to maintain, continuously, a lawful status;
engaged in unauthorized employment; or
otherwise violated the terms and conditions of the alien's
Thus, health care workers, such as registered nurses and physical
therapists and others are given by Section 245(k) of the Act an extra six-month
period from expiration of authorized stay to adjust status in the United States,
if their immigrant's visas are immediately available.
At The Time Of Filing Of Adjustment Application:
If the alien health care worker is adjusting status, all eligibility
requirements must be met at the time of filing the application for adjustment
of status. See September 22,
2003 Memorandum of William R.
Yates, Associate Director for
Operations, United States Citizenship
and Immigration Services, citing 8 CFR 103.2(b)(12).
If the alien health care worker is in the United
States and the employer is filing only Form I-140 petition, then
the Service Center or District Director may adjudicate it, even without the
health care worker certification.
This would be the case of an alien health care worker here, who can no
longer adjust here for overstaying, or has to adjust, if still eligible, before
the Immigration Judge because he or she is in removal (formerly called
deportation) proceedings.
Filing Of I-140 and I-485:
If the alien health care worker is eligible to adjust here, and the
I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, $190 filing fee), I-485 (Application
to Register Permanent Residence or To Adjust Status, $315 filing fee plus $70
fingerprinting fee) and I-765
(Application for Employment Authorization, $175 filing fee) are concurrently
filed, the health care worker certification must be submitted with the filing
of the application for adjustment of status (I-485).
Indeed, the September 22, 2003 Yates Memorandum cited above
categorically states that: "Therefore, a health care worker in one of the
affected occupations must submit evidence of certification at the time
the adjustment of status is filed."
And by regulation effective since July 31, 2002, the Service has
authorized concurrent filing of I-140 and I-485 applications for EB1 (priority
workers), EB2 (professionals with advanced degrees etc.) and EB3 (skilled
workers, professionals etc.) categories, when an immigrant visa is immediately
Alien health care workers trained in the United States or in possession
of valid state licenses are still required to present the certification or a
Section 212(r) certified statement for qualified registered nurses.

Seattle Seahawks outspoken cornerback Richard Sherman has certainly made a name for himself for his play. Now the DB has made a name for himself with his mouth. After Sunday nights rant following the NFC Championship Game victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Sherman has received a lot of attention. As the Associated Press reports on Jan. 21, the rampant cornerback has apologized for attacking another player and taking the attention away from his team.
As the Seahawks clinched their second trip to the Super Bowl, Richard Sherman took the time to go off on opposing receiver Michael Crabtree. The comments overshadowed the victory and Sherman made it clear that it wasn't his intent.
In a text message to ESPN reporter Ed Werder, Sherman sent a personal apology:
"I apologize for attacking an individual and taking the attention away from the fantastic game by my teammates…That wasn't my intent."
Head coach Pete Carroll shared Sherman's sentiments describing him as a very "emotional kid" who was obviously excited about his first Super Bowl appearance.
Richard Sherman further explained himself in an interview with ESPN Radio. He said:
"Obviously, I could have worded things better and could obviously have had a better reaction and done things differently. But it is what it is now, and people's reactions are what they are."
Sherman has become a focal point going into the Super Bowl and has brought some criticism to himself by taunting another player, but at the same time he has brought some positive attention to himself, mainly from advertisers who have taken this as an opportunity to market the All-Pro DB.
Carroll understands the possible distraction the attention will bring on his team and said he addressed the issue with Sherman.
"He has a great sense about things and understanding and sensitivity and awareness and he cares and he's a very thoughtful person so when he puts out those kind of thoughts he has to know what he's saying and understand it and I think he's very understanding at this point that he caused a stir that took away from the team."

March 30, 2011
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE - Anyone wondering if the glamour of being a top quarterback in the upcoming NFL draft has changed Jake Locker should have seen the down-to-earth former Husky star at Washington's Pro Day.
The ESPN Magazine cover boy next week, the subject of two pending documentary films - one on the draft process and the other for his extensive, passionate work with children's charities - says he has declined the league's invitation to be with other top picks at next month's draft in New York. So he won't be inside Radio City Music Hall to hear the commissioner call his name and then put on a team cap and pose for photographs.
"I'm going to be at home," Locker said Wednesday of the small town of Ferndale, Wash., up near the Canadian border that has thrown parades for him and had a Jake Locker Day this past July.
"It's an honor, and I appreciate the invite, but for me, I want to be with the people who have been with me my whole life and have helped me get to this point, to share that experience with them. And of course not all of them would be able to be in New York with me. So for me, it makes more sense to be home where I grew up, and where this all started."
That response was the highlight of his Pro Day workout Wednesday. Oh, that and the 38 passes he completed in 40 attempts in front of impressed scouts who were busy writing down notes on clipboards. His only two incompletions soared 55 and then 60 yards in the air. One went off the finger tips of departing Husky D'Andre Goodwin, and the other hit the turf a step beyond him.
Locker said it was the best he's thrown since Washington's season ended with a victory over Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 30. Better than at the Senior Bowl or at the NFL combine.
Afterward, some scouts from the 14 NFL teams represented - the Falcons, Browns, Ravens, Bills, Lions, Colts, Jaguars, Vikings, Eagles, Steelers, Chargers, Titans, Saints, and the hometown Seahawks - agreed. One from an NFC team with a pick in the latter half of the first round said it was the best he'd seen Locker throw all winter.
Huskies coach Steve Sarkisian, who chatted a lot during the three-plus hours of workouts with former USC boss and current Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, said following Locker's performance he doesn't see him falling out of the first round.
Carroll was there with Seattle general manager John Schneider and a handful of team scouts and staffers. The Seahawks were the only team to send a head coach - albeit 20 minutes up the road from team headquarters.
Locker did not take part in most of the Pro Day events. He was weighed, measured for height - his 6-feet-2 5/8 inches was 1/8 of an inch taller than he was given at the combine - and then threw to Goodwin, exiting Huskies fullback Austin Sylvester and tight end Dorson Boyce.
By unofficial count, Locker completed all 12 of his throws on two- and three-step drops. He was 17 for 17 following five-step drops. And he was nine for 11 on long throws, of about 25 yards or more.
Not a bad way to leave a first round-like impression heading into the final weeks before the draft.
"I was better. I was more consistent," Locker said. "There were a few throws at the combine I didn't like, that I would have liked to do over again. Today I felt I was more consistent. The ball came off my hand good. I felt confident. It went where I wanted it to."
UW's four-year starter, who finished at or near the top of most Huskies passing records, said he recently adjusted his throwing motion to move his hand more quickly to the top of the ball before throwing. He said the result has been a crisper pass, a tighter spiral with zing.
Goodwin provided his own zing. Some scouts' stopwatches showed 4.47 seconds when Goodwin crossed the finish line in the 40-yard dash. He's projected to be a late-round pick or free-agent signee next month. That sprint and some of his sticky-hands catches for Locker's bullets may have helped his stock.
Mason Foster, who participated alongside fellow departing Huskies linebacker Victor Aiyewa, wasn't sure what to make of sprints, shuttle runs, bench presses, long jumps and assorted other drills he and a dozen Huskies did in front of the scouts - plus Nick Montana, Chris Polk, Jermaine Kearse and a large chunk of wide-eyed current Dawgs - on Wednesday.
"A lot of these drills are to show explosiveness," said Foster, last season's Pac-10 tackling leader who some think could go in the third round, "but they have nothing to do with taking on a pulling guard to make a tackle."
Safety and 2010 co-captain Nate Williams, offensive linemen Ryan Tolar and Cody Habben, linebacker Brandon Huppert and cornerback Vonzell McDowell were also among those participating in the workout at UW's Dempsey Indoor practice facility.

For the 19th time in their career, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray will meet between the tennis lines as their paths collide in today's 2014 Italian Open quarterfinals in Rome. According to a May 16 ATP report, this terrific matchup is scheduled for (around) 3:30 p.m. ET (2:30 p.m. CT/12:30 p.m. PT) on Tennis Channel and on ESPN-GO's free live stream online.
For the "King of Clay" this year's season hasn't exactly gone has planned on a surface he's dominated for almost a decade. In fact, the Spaniard comes into this clash against Murray looking for his first clay-court title of the season.
As a May 15 SI report details, Nadal's recent struggles were present against Mikhail Youzhny in the third round. In fact, the seven-time Italian Open champ had to rally after falling behind the 16th-ranked Russian just to avoid what would have been a huge upset.
After dropping the opening set, the 13-time Grand Slam champ came roaring back to win the match by a final score of 6-7(4), 6-2, 6-1. But that's not even the most alarming part for the world's No.1 heading into the clash with Murray.
Less than 24 hours before his struggles against Youzhny, "Rafa" needed three hours and 19 minutes to eliminate Gilles Simon, in what became the longest three-set match of the 2014 ATP tennis season. The question is: How much does Nadal have left in the tank?
Luckily, he's dominated the seventh-seeded Scot in their past meetings. Looking for his first win against Nadal on this surface, Murray will try and make a dent on a 13-5 deficit when they meet for the first time in over two years.
According to Italian Open tennis oddsmakers, Rafael Nadal [-625] is surprisingly listed as a huge betting favorite over Andy Murray [+475] this afternoon. The OVER/UNDER is set at a combined total of 21 games, and alternate lines go as follows: Nadal -4½ [-123] vs. Murray +4½ [+107].
Don't miss what is sure to be another classic showdown between Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray. Tune to Tennis Channel to watch it live on your TV sets, or simply click on the link provided above to launch the free ESPN live stream.

All AYSO Coaches must complete the Safe Haven certification. This ensures that the well-being of the child is placed first, the philosophies of AYSO are understood and teaches the coaches risk management to avoid putting themselves in positions hazardous to themselves and the children. It is also part of the requirements to be covered under the Volunteer Protection Act.
Age-Specific Training - U6, U8, U10 & U12 Coach certifications
These four coaching courses focus on working with the player in these age divisions to create a fun learning environment. Coaches in U6, U8, U10 & U12 must have the age specific coach certification for the age they are coaching. There are no substitutes nor will higher level courses satisfy the requirement. These courses have no pre-requisite and may be taken individually or in any order.
Intermediate, Advanced and National Coach certifications
These upper level courses build upon each other, thus a coach with the Advanced Coach certification may also coach teams needing only the Intermediate Coach certification. However, these do not confer the age-specific certification needed to coach U6-U12. A coach who holds an Intermediate Coach or above certification and wishes to coach in U10, must also hold a U10 Coach certification. U14 coaches must have at least the Intermediate Coach certification. U16 and U19 coaches must have the Advanced Coach certification. The National Coach certification is for coaches who desire to further advance their skills and offer a greater level of support to their region.
Cross certification from USSF
For coaches who hold a USSF license and a substantial coaching history, cross certification is available. Unfortunately, we do not offer cross certification from NSCAA diplomas, FA levels or other organizations at this time. Coaches with the USSF Youth Modules or a USSF 'F' license may apply for U6-U12 certification. Those holding a USSF 'E' license issued after January 1, 2012 may apply for the intermediate certificate, and those holding a USSF 'D' license issued after January 1, 2013 or a National 'A', 'B' or 'C' license may apply for the advanced certificate. Applicants must be recommended by the Regional Commissioner and the area and section coach administrators before the application packet is sent to the AYSO National office to be approved by the AYSO National Coach. Please contact your Regional Coach Administrator for more information. The full procedure is described in the AYSO Reciprocity Equivalency Agreement.
Registration: For all classes please visit the listed website for more details, registration, and contact information. Pre-registration is not required unless specified. Classes with low enrollment may be cancelled at the class start time or a couple of days before. Unless otherwise noted, please sign up for the class in advance through eayso.org. Eayso.org has been upgraded. If you are using Internet Explorer (70% of visitors) the browser often encounters an error and terminates, although FireFox has been working. We hope they fix this soon.
Location: It is normally advantageous to attend a course offered in your own region, as the class will be closer, you will have more opportunity to meet coaches in your city, and will get region-specific information about your region's policies and practices. You may attend any AYSO course anywhere to receive coach training and certification.
Cost: Many classes have a fee associated with them. For AYSO classes within Area Q: These fees are for those volunteers from outside Area Q. If you are a volunteer from outside Area Q, please bring a check (no cash please) made out to "AYSO Area 11-Q" or to the region conducting the training. Area Q volunteers do not need to bring a check for any training within the area as all regions have agreed to pay directly any costs of their volunteers attending AYSO classes within the area. Area Q volunteers are those from one of the regions listed on our Area Q Regions page.
Be aware that to be covered under the Volunteer Protection Act you must be certified and trained by attending at least two classes: (1) Safe Haven Certification and (2) Age specific training. For example, if you coach in a U7 or U8 division you must attend a U8 course, a U12 course will only cover those coaching in U12. Also note that an intermediate or advanced certificate does not confer all lower age-specific certifications. Therefore a coach who holds a U12 and intermediate certificate and wishes to coach U10, must then get a U10 certificate. Most regions hold to this as minimum coaching requirements.
For questions please contact any member of the Area Q coaching staff.

Too Much Intelligence Can Be Bad for You
Posted on Dec 31, 2013
It is possible that, like all things good and bad, an overabundance of cleverness can produce negative outcomes in a person's day to day life, philosopher and writer Julian Baggini argues. You can, for example, think yourself out of something by using the most complex solution rather than the simplest since that is what your mind is able to comprehend. Or, as in the case of one of Baggini's friends, you can use your reasoning skills to rationalize paranoias to an extreme. And although, the author acknowledges, it's probably better to have too much brainpower than too little, he writes that one of the problems that causes this excess is the way intelligence is defined.
In other words, if you are to subscribe to Baggini's line of thought, a balance of insights is key to a healthy existence. And yet, who's to say the author isn't a tad guilty of over-thinking intelligence himself?

Berlind on JDS/Solaris
By jimgris-Oracle on Oct 27, 2004
I love Berlind's opening comment:
Something rather strange happened earlier this month. Sun released -- but did not announce -- a Solaris-based version of Release 2 of its Java Desktop System (JDS). Given the significance of JDS R2, for which a Linux-based version has existed since May 2004, why would Sun avoid drawing attention to this release?
Read on for the answer ... or at least Berlind's answer, anyway ...

The U.K.'s Imperial Innovations and recently established life science fund Kurma BioFund I have invested a total of £0.85 million ($1.33 million) into Innovations' new portfolio company Indigix. The investment has been split equally between Innovations and Kurma and follows on from a convertible loan granted to Indigix by Innovations earlier in 2010. Total investment in the new company now totals £0.93 million ($1.45 million).
Indigix is developing a platform technology for engineering synthetic molecules against defined immunological responses involved in a range of diseases. Potential applications for the technology include the treatment of diarrheal diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, and wound healing, Imperial Innovations notes.

By NEMS Daily Journal
A lot of light shed on big, vexing problems makes a huge difference in just a week for Smithville residents, who face the rebuilding of their town of 900 from the rubble of a killer tornado on Aprll 27.
A strong, bipartisan and diverse coalition from the public and private sectors last week unveiled what they know so far about what and who will, can and wants to provide help. The group has worked the halls of the U.S. Capitol to the individuals who wait and hope. As in so many other natural disasters damaging our state, providing help requires some time to pull resources together. The group of leaders who have taken on the Smithville recovery provide a big-picture focus.
Sen. Thad Cochran's office provided assurance from his perspective in the U.S. Capitol.
"I have been assured by FEMA that it is working with the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency to help Smithville recover and to expedite the city's application … It is my hope that a Community Disaster Loan application for Smithville will be reviewed and approved as quickly as possible," Cochran said in a statement provided to the Daily Journal.
He is joined in the effort by Sen. Roger Wicker and Rep. Alan Nunnelee.
In Monroe County, the Gilmore Foundation, headquartered in Amory, has provided a no-interest loan to help Smithville keep operating through the worst of a revenue shortfall, and it has served as a facilitator in conversations with many others. Cadence Bank is providing major assistance.
State Sen. Hob Bryan, who has represented his home county for almost 28 years, said Friday, "Everybody from everywhere is going to great lengths in behalf of Smithville."
The situation especially highlights the value of regional alliances like the Three Rivers Planning and Development District, which includes Monroe County. Three Rivers has a professional staff that knows every fact of how to access funds.
Add to the mix the Appalachian Regional Commission's Mississippi Division, which works in Jackson and Washington, and the support web covers the networking map.
Early on, some residents said in reported statements, "I hope we aren't forgotten."
Smithville is on the minds of people who can help the recovery, and they're working every day toward that goal.

Subject Matters: Intimacy in John Biggers' Drawings
Posted: 3.24.2014
Appraiser Meredith Hilferty discusses the Biggers drawings with their owner, Henry, at the 2013 ROADSHOW event in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
These charcoal drawings depict a woman wearing a garment, the style of which probably recalls a woman he encountered while on a UNESCO-sponsored trip to Western Africa in the late 1950s with his wife, Hazel.
To learn more about the drawings and John T. Biggers' inspiration for them, Henry visited Hazel Hales Biggers in her art-filled home in Houston, Texas. (Image courtesy of guest.)
"He's my Uncle John, as I know him," said Henry when he recalled the artist, John Thomas Biggers, who drew the subject depicted in the two charcoal drawings he brought to the Baton Rouge ANTIQUES ROADSHOW event in July 2013. "He and my father were classmates in college at Hampton Institute," Henry explained. "This piece was in our house for as long as I've been alive. And the story goes my Uncle John was throwing them out of his garage, and my dad happened to be there and said, 'Well, no, don't throw it away, I'll take it.'" When paintings and drawings expert Meredith Hilferty examined the pair of drawings, she gave an auction value range of $12,000 to $18,000, but the question still remained: Who was the woman in the drawing? Was it Biggers' wife, Hazel Hales Biggers, or an African woman he drew during his time in the Western part of the continent in the late 1950s?
"It is remarkable how he depicts this woman with so much poise and intimacy, so that she becomes a real person and not just the subject of his drawing"
To find out more, Henry contacted the one woman who would know the answer to this question: Hazel Hales Biggers, who still resided in Houston, Texas. He had been in her town visiting from Louisiana, so he decided to drop by the home to which he had journeyed to as a young child to learn more about his "Uncle John."
John Thomas Biggers (April 13, 1924 – January 25, 2001) was one of the most significant African American artists of the 20th century, hailing from Gastonia, North Carolina. He attended the Hampton Institute (now Hampton University), where he met his wife, Hazel Hales, and received a doctorate from Pennsylvania State University in 1954. One of his most noteworthy pieces is the mural, "Contribution of Negro Women to Education and Life in America," dedicated at the Blue Triangle YWCA in Houston in 1953, which he completed as part of his doctorate. With Hazel, he spent most of his life in Houston, Texas, appointed head of the art department at Texas Southern University in 1949. Biggers continued painting, sculpting, and educating the next generation of African American artists from this position of prominence in an up-and-coming Houston art scene.
John and Hazel traveled to Africa on a UNESCO-sponsored trip to Ghana, Togo, and the Republic of Benin to study the cultural traditions of Western Africa in 1957, which he considered "the most significant event" in his life, according to an interview conducted in 1975 logged in the Houston Public Library archives. During that visit, they spent most of their time in the country, soaking in as much of the traditional culture as they could. "[The people they encountered] have endured all sorts of historical problems and events…I think this is why they are so beautiful," he said. "They have a universal quality about them…I found, really, a tremendous motivation and some peace."
The charcoal drawings that were presented at ROADSHOW depict a woman from the front and reverse, wearing a garment, which "may have been his decision to include an object specific to the area [Biggers] was visiting," Hilferty said. When Henry asked Hazel Hales Biggers about the figure in the image, she confirmed it was not a depiction of her, but likely a woman they had come across in their visit to Africa. "It makes sense to me that Henry was curious about whether these drawings were of Hazel," Hilferty said. "He portrays the figure in such a familiar way that it could easily have been interpreted as someone that he knew very well."
When Henry toured the house, he was able to see all sorts of works inspired by this trip to Africa. The house was as he remembered: covered in art, filled with sculptures. Despite the "study-like" quality in Henry's drawings, Hilferty noted "it is remarkable how he depicts this woman with so much poise and intimacy, so that she becomes a real person and not just the subject of his drawing." What gave the pieces even more context for Henry was his interaction with Hazel. "Mrs. Biggers remembered me as a little boy and my father," Henry said. When seeing Hazel, he remarked, "She's dynamic! She took me around the house, even showed me the piece he was working on when he passed." So although Hazel explained to Henry in her Houston living room that no, she was not the figure in the drawing, these pieces represent Biggers' passion for revealing the emotion and personality behind his figures in their own history and context.
See the Baton Rouge, Louisiana (2014) page for a list of all appraisals from this city.

Our understanding of the unity between animal ethics and environmental ethics will eventually spawn more acceptance and better stewardship among all living and non-living things. "Someone whose eyes are opened to a way of looking at animals and nature that involves deeper compassion, respect, or reverence," says Matthew Pianalto, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Philosophy at Eastern Kentucky University, "is making progress toward a different way of living that has the power to influence and perhaps over time radically alter his or her practice."
Pianalto developed interest in both animal ethics and environmental ethics as a result of his engagement in related reading and research. With no pre-existing agenda, he says, "I had been thinking and writing about the nature of happiness and well-being and became interested in the environmental aspects of a consumption-driven pursuit of happiness and in working out what a sustainable or ecological happiness looks like by contrast."
With his long-standing interest in the work of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and contemporary scholars of Wittgenstein's work, Pianalto discovered the animal-related works of Raimond Gaita and Cora Diamond. For Pianalto, Cora Diamond's paper, Eating Meat and Eating People, was both perplexing and intriguing; her argument for defending the rights of animals differed from distinguished animal ethics theorists, Peter Singer and Tom Regan.
"How we conceptualize and treat animals became a live issue for me in a way that it had not been previously," Pianalto says. "I probably would not have pursued these avenues of inquiry had I not been asked to teach courses first on Environmental Ethics and then Animal Ethics."
During a one-year visiting position at Truman State University, Pianalto created a unit on environmental ethics for a Philosophy and Public Affairs course. The next year, when he started at Eastern Kentucky University, Pianalto was asked to teach a whole course on environmental ethics.
Meanwhile, Eastern Kentucky University, Department of Psychology Professor, Dr. Robert Mitchell, was about to launch a new interdisciplinary Bachelor's Degree program in Animal Studies. An animal ethics course for this new major was developed and Pianalto says, "I was at the right place at the right time to take on teaching responsibilities that allowed me to pursue my interests."
In his classes at Eastern Kentucky University, Pianalto promotes awareness and understanding of the major animal rights ideas and figures, critical thinking about their arguments, and the students' own beliefs. "Because applied ethics is focused on real-world issues and problems," Pianalto states, "there is an inherent element of interdisciplinarity in these courses."
"One must know things about nature, animals, the economy, and so forth that go far beyond any expertise I have as a philosopher," Pianalto modestly says. His students who are majoring in animal studies, biology, wildlife management, economics, and the like, create an equilibrium, "so the learning often goes both ways in these classes."
Among the many different theories in both animal ethics and environmental ethics, perhaps the most fundamental distinction to be made in both disciplines is between anthropocentrism, the belief that only human beings are owed direct moral consideration or respect, and the belief that non-humans are owed direct moral consideration or respect.
"Many, although not all, of those we think of as animal advocates and environmentalists reject anthropocentrism," Pianalto says, "and hold that other living beings and in some cases systems of nature, species, and non-living parts of the natural world like mountains possess intrinsic or inherent value."
Sometimes animal advocacy conflicts with environmental ethics. "Animal rights advocates focus on protecting and promoting the welfare or rights of individual animals," Pianalto states, "but environmentalists are concerned with the health and flourishing of the whole system, including the non-animal parts of nature."
This can lead to disagreements about issues such as hunting, factory farming, the culling of animals to manage populations, and whether endangered species deserve special consideration or protection. Along with these points of conflict, there are issues about which there can be broad agreement.
Albeit for different reasons, animal advocates and environmentalists both have strong reasons for opposing factory farming, for example, because of its negative impact on animals and the environment. Cumulatively, habitat loss caused by the human development of the earth further contributes to the rapid decline in biodiversity is a collective concern.
Another point of contention in animal ethics, environmental ethics, and also true of ethics applied to other large social and political issues, is effective action. "This is something I take seriously in the courses I teach," Pianalto explains, "because I'm presenting college students with information about huge and complex problems such as factory farming and climate change."
The issues at hand can be overwhelming and can invoke the feeling that there is little a single person can do to make a difference. Students often acknowledge the problems, but thinking there are no large-scale practical alternatives, they continue to participate in it and won't commit fully to the animal rights position because it's too impractical.
Pianalto encourages students to consider whether they should do what they think is right, what is consistent with the philosophy they accept, even if it doesn't make a big difference. Ideals, are important to have even if living-up to them is difficult or takes a long time.
"Large-scale social problems have to be addressed at a collective level with the collaboration of many hands and voices. They require people working for environmental and animal protection groups and agencies, getting involved in politics and law, and so forth."
"Few people will dedicate their lives to animal or environmental causes," Pianalto remarks. "If we think those causes and their philosophies merit support, we can still try to align our personal conduct with them even if we invest our time and talents in other worthwhile activities and careers."
Pianalto's personal ideas are casual yet profound. He endorses the idea that animals have rights, animals have a valid claim to moral consideration, and animals do not exist merely as resources for human use and consumption. "I also extend that conception of rights as a valid claim to moral consideration to other living beings. The idea is simply that all life is owed respect, if not also, as Albert Schweitzer advocated, reverence."
"The ideas can only be put into practice by paying attention to individuals and to the living world around us," Pianalto believes. "By learning about animals and nature, we become increasingly aware of what it is about specific animals, plants, or places that gives them some unique value and makes them worthy of respect and reverence or love."

Came here to send my request and saw JD's post. Puts mine in perspective. My mom is 90, loves Jesus, wants to be with her husband. My request: wisdom with the doctors, stability and pain removal for mom, the Lord's will. My mom is sharp as a tack, looks seventy, and our whole family is greedy and want her a few more years, as long as there is not pain or dementia. Many thanks! Tom
ps. here's my mom at 90. Honest!

According to a Friday story in the Hollywood Reporter, Craig Ferguson, the soon to be departed host of The Late Late Show, will soon sign a deal to host a new talk show with a similar format. The show will be syndicated on TV stations owned by the Tribune Company that encompasses most major media markets in the United States. It will likely air at 7:30 p.m.
The new show will start to air in 2016, according to Deadline Hollywood. Ferguson is due to leave his current gig on late night this December. Besides the new syndicated talk show, he is also going to host a game show called Celebrity Name Game.
The new show will be taped in the same studios as his current late night show. Ferguson's robotic side kick, Geoff Peterson, voiced by Josh Robert Thompson, will join Ferguson in his new gig, as will Secretariat, his pantomime horse. Ferguson's current show runner, Michael Naidus, will produce the new series.
Ferguson is a Scottish American actor/writer/musician/standup comedian who moved to the United States in 1994. His thick brogue has graced the late night talk show universe since he took over hosting duties of The Late Late Show in 2004. Besides being a late night talk show host, Ferguson is best known to modern audiences for lending his voice talents to animated films such as "Brave" and "How to Train Your Dragon."
Attempting to do a late night talk show format in prime time is considered a risky proposition. Jay Leno tried in during his brief hiatus from The Tonight Show when it was hosted by Conan O'Brien to somewhat indifferent results. But Ferguson's brand of manic and sometimes off color humor has proven popular with audiences. He has the potential to attract a much larger following in a time slot that is not necessarily watched by insomniacs.

First of all, ADT is a recognized leader in developing innovative home security monitoring technologies that are created to give homeowners in Arkansas the most advanced level of home security. With the introduction of their customer monitoring centers, located in various regions across the nation and operating 24/7, ADT forced competitors to try to keep up. And when you install an ADT monitored home security alarm in AR, you are getting equipment that is very user-friendly yet highly-advanced. In addition to the standard home intrusion sensors, ADT alarms also come with the ability to help detect additional hazards, such as fire and deadly carbon monoxide.
ADT protects you from the dangers that can be seen, like burglars, predators, and fires, but what about the dangers that can't be seen, smelled, or tasted? Poisonous carbon monoxide gas fits under all of these categories, and it causes hundreds of deaths annually, on top of the tens of thousands of hospitalizations. In fact, carbon monoxide poisoning is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the United States. Advanced ADT monitored home security systems in Arkansas are also capable of detecting this "silent killer".
ADT's security experts can take immediate action in sending the nearest AR police officers. At the same time, an ADT security professional will attempt to contact you by various means, such as a direct voice intercom connection, in order to help assess the situation and take the best measures in making sure that your family in Arkansas stay shielded from danger. Also, since ADT Monitored Home Security Systems in Arkansas are able to connect with ADT's monitoring services via a dedicated cellular connection, you don't need to be worried about devious home invaders cutting your phone lines. No other home security company in Arkansas is able to offer the degree of protection that is possible with an ADT Monitored Home Security System.
ADT stands behind their home alarm monitoring in AR with a belief that comes from over a century of protecting homes nationwide. That's one of the reasons that ADT is able to provide you with a Theft Protection Guarantee when purchasing your Home Security System. But if your Arkansas house is burglarized while your security alarm is armed, ADT will pay up to $500 of the insurance deductible.

Vanishing Homesteads is a lovely coffee table book which documents the last remaining structures and relics left behind on the prairies of the Central Plains of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colorado.
With a bit of prose and thoughtful reflection, fine art photographer Debbie M. Smith captures the mystique and romance of the past in this pictorial essay of rustic and earthy photographs which is her trademark photography.
Go to the ebook to preview this book!
A freelancer and darkroom technician in the late seventies, I didn't start out taking pictures of homesteads. I worked at a local college as an events photographer and at a portrait studio in the town where I grew up. My interest was in wildlife photography then, but after marrying my husband, we moved to the country about five miles from the historic Santa Fe Trail. The vast and sweeping grasslands of Kansas became my canvas and a Leica M6 camera, my brush. The sage, wild native grasses, and tumbleweeds provide a warm and nostalgic quality that I prefer in my work.

Does Robinson arithmetic prove the theorem "if sigma is provable then 'sigma is provable' is provable' for a fixed sentence sigma?
It's clear to me that you can get a primitive recursive function f from (proofs of sigma) to (proofs of "there is a proof of sigma"). Q can represent f, but can it actually prove that f has this property?
If not, then how do you get Godel's second incompleteness theorem for Q?

Removing a unit owner's underage daughter from a 55 & over community
Last week I asked whether the bylaws require the use of a voting certificate if the unit is owned by more than one person or by a corporation, and if the board can waive the requirement and accept the vote that is cast without objection of any of the unit owners as the vote of the unit.
"No" according to the arbitrator in the case of Hanna v. Hallmark of Hollywood Condominium Association, Arbitration Case No. 2009-02-0757, September 17, 2009. The election was declared invalid and a new election was ordered to be held.
The question this week: Can the Division compel the 31 year old daughter of an owner, the sole resident of the unit, to be evicted from the unit given that the condominium is a "Housing for Older Persons" community requiring that each unit be occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older?
To learn how the arbitrator ruled, read my blog on June 20.
