'Man in the High Castle' star thrilled to take on legendary author's material
Brennan Brown becomes series regular in Season 2
When it came to playing the pivotal role of Robert Childan in the thought-provoking series "The Man in the High Castle," veteran actor Brennan Brown said the best way to approach the work was to not get too caught up in the dystopian world that surrounded the character, but rather concentrate on the character itself.
After all, the complex, layered source was written by legendary author Phillip K. Dick, and Brown was more than confident that story would come together properly.
"Phillip K. Dick was a certified genius. When you read a book like 'The Man in the High Castle,' you realize what he's hitting on and the themes he's covering, like identity and how we know what reality is, and what's true and what isn't. Those were all universal, transcendent themes that were being dealt with in 1962 as well as today," Brown said in a recent phone conversation. "As a person working on it, all those themes are givens and it becomes, 'How do I play this character in this specific circumstance?' As an actor you can't really be too worried about large thematic issues when you're playing a scene with a gun pointed to your face. You have to play the reality of what's happening in that moment, emotionally."
Streaming on Amazon Prime, "The Man in the High Castle" is set in 1962, 15 years after the end of World War II. However, the story takes place in an alternate universe that imagines a society as if Nazi Germany had won the war -- as the Nazis control the former United States east of the Rocky Mountains and Japan rules over the former states on the West Coast.
It's in the latter, in San Francisco, where one of the suppressed Americans in the new world order, Juliana Crane (Alexa Davalos), comes into possession of a news reel that suggests a different end to the war, leading her to join a resistance to fight the enemy where very few can be trusted. Rupert Evans plays Juliana's boyfriend, Frank Frink, who forms an alliance with Childan -- an antiques store dealer who specializes in American cultural artifacts.
Brown, 48, admitted he was a casual fan of Dick's work when production began on "The Man in the High Castle," so he's thankful for the love his brother had for the author's work to pursue the role.
"I had read 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' when I was younger and enjoyed it a lot after 'Blade Runner' came out -- I wanted to read the book since the movie was based on it -- but my brother took it and ran with it, and read everything Phillip K. Dick ever wrote that he can get his hand on," Brown recalled. "So, when I told him that 'The Man in the High Castle' was in the works, he said, 'You've got to do this. You have to read this book and understand that this is the best thing that he ever wrote.' After I read it, I said, 'He's right. This is something I have to be involved in.'"
While there are some differences in the series compared to "The Man in the High Castle" book -- as it relates to Childan, he appears earlier in the novel than he does in the series -- Brown said the original source material is far from being lost on the production.
"For us, all the casts and creatives, the book is the touchstone. We all take the responsibility of honoring Phillip K. Dick's work really seriously," Brown said. "Isa Hackett, who is one of the series' producers, is Phillip K. Dick's daughter, so believe me, we're all the aware of the larger themes of the book and want the series to fit in seamlessly with the world that he created."
Brown cited a major scene in Season 1 of the series as an example.
"In the first season, Childan doesn't show up until the fourth episode, but when he does, he's in a scene directly out of the book," Brown said. "The real joy of that season was shooting the dinner scene between the Japanese couple -- Paul and Betty -- and Childan, where Childan goes over to their house for dinner. That was one of the most complex scenes I ever shot in terms of all of the underlying issues that were going on. It was really a joy to shoot that scene."
Those who enjoyed Brown's performance of Childan in Season 1 will get a lot more of it in the recently released Season 2 of the series, as Brown has been promoted to a series regular and the role of Childan has been expanded.

Legacy of the Golden Arches
TIME: Architecture & Design – June 2, 1986
Legacy of the Golden Arches
Highbrows Celebrate Lowbrow Fast-Food Architecture
There was a time, unremembered by most Americans, when Burger King and Pizza Hut and Dunkin' Donuts did not dominate the nation's highways and boulevards. ! The proliferation of chain restaurants (60,000 at last count) is a signal social fact of the past four decades, a transformation of the commercial landscape more swift and radical than any other in U.S. history. Strung out along main drags in every city, fast-food franchises become the strip, identically chaotic collages of glowing signs and prefab construction. The helter-skelter of the strip is the urban critic's most convenient cliche –cheap-jack American laissez-faire run amuck.
For two decades, however, an avant-garde of populist architectural historians has been looking at the strip and its larger-than-life iconography without conventional middlebrow contempt. The movement's manifesto is Learning from Las Vegas (1972), Robert Venturi's examination of crowd-pleasing architectural symbolism and buildings designed primarily for drivers. The irony is so American, so pop: cultural highbrows celebrating unself-conscious lowbrow vulgarity.
Now, just as the 40-year emergence of the strip seems complete, a pair of books renews the scholarly pursuit. Philip Langdon's Orange Roofs, Golden Arches (Knopf; $30) is an exhaustive social history of chain restaurants. Googie: fifties coffee shop architecture (Chronicle Books; $12.95) is a more polemical and quirky work. Author Alan Hess, a California architect, takes as his nostalgic prototype a Sunset Boulevard snack shop built in 1949 and zigzags through a hot-rod-and-chili-dog architectural tour that celebrates old McDonald's outlets, car washes and Las Vegas casinos–all the pushy, flimsy '50s buildings that Hess calls "agitprop for the commercial future."
To orthodox historic preservationists, it seems perverse to make instant history out of the immediate past. But Hess is a militant. He belongs to the Society for Commercial Archeology and claims as his proudest achievement convincing the Department of the Interior in 1984 that the oldest surviving McDonald's, plopped down just 31 years earlier in suburban Los Angeles, deserves inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.
And indeed, Langdon and Hess make reasonable cases that fast-food restaurant design is the snappiest, purest expression of the American Zeitgeist at mid-century: architecture as billboard advertising, billboard advertising as architecture. Both authors note that the germs of the modern strip were the work of serious architects, not anonymous commercial draftsmen.
The species was invented in the 1920s, when the automobile turned from novelty to necessity and White Castle sold its first tiny square hamburgers from its tiny squarish outlets. After World War II, the genealogy divided into two distinct branches. In the downtownish precincts of Southern California were the new coffee shops, like Googies, serving 24 hours a day, greasy spoons with super-duper production values and plenty of room. Meanwhile, out in the suburbs and on numberless freeways, the hamburger stand became pandemic. Hess calls Ships, a Googie imitator built in 1958 and demolished in 1984, "the major monument of Coffee Shop Modern," where "Fred Flintstone and George Jetson could meet over a cup of coffee." The descendants include Big Boy, Denny's and Sambo's. From 1950 to 1960, years of heedless American growth, cars multiplied and the great fast-food empires were born: McDonald's, Tastee Freez, Jack-in-the-Box, Burger King, Dunkin' Donuts, Mister Donut, Pizza Hut, Burger Chef. The architecture that resulted was a sort of Sunbelt peasant modernism, simple constructivist cartoons in steel and glass, designed to catch the attention at highway speeds. Usually, as Langdon says, it was a case of "form faking function." Cosmetic A-frames were slapped onto plain boxes; McDonald's golden arches never supported anything. The "modernism" of the fast-food stands was superficial set design, not unlike today's putatively "postmodern" shopping- mall facades.
In the 1960s, when the space-age future finally arrived, futuristic imagery was abandoned. Drive-ins died out, and fast-food restaurants became larger, more middle class. The new buildings were low slung, brownish, plastered with brick veneer. The exuberance of the late '40s and '50s architecture was replaced by bland pseudohomeyness in the '60s and '70s. Bad good taste supplanted good bad taste.
But the golden age of golden-arch architecture has a legacy nevertheless. California's Frank Gehry, for instance, practices a scrupulously conceived kind of rawboned Googie architecture: his buildings are striking mixes of forms, structural systems and materials, and sometimes (as in the Aerospace Museum in Los Angeles) they even play with illusions of antigravity.
Fast-food architecture is coming full circle too. Two years ago, outside Chicago, the deconstructionist New York firm SITE built a sublime McDonald's. The basic kit of pieces was standard, but SITE made the whole restaurant seem to hover: brick walls are cantilevered up off the ground, the roof floats above the walls. Decadent, maybe, but delightful too. In heartland suburbia, the highest of high camp has thus been achieved. When kitsch icons like McDonald's come with their own built-in ironic critique, an epoch must be at an end.

Froch-Kessler II is On!
By Wolfgang Schiffbauer
Long negotiations came to end last night, as Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing and Sauerland Event just announced that IBF Super Middleweight Champion Carl Froch and WBA Regular Super Middleweight Champion Mikkel Kessler will face each other in a long-awaited rematch this summer in Great Britain. An exact date and location are still to be determined, but The O2 in London seems to be the frontrunner as of now. A press conference to officially announce the bout and more details will happen soon, according to a Press Release by Matchroom Boxing.
"This is the fight that I want more than anything in the world," Froch was quoted in the release. "I put Mikkel up there as one of the great warriors in boxing and I am so excited about this fight and the chance to set the record straight against him."
"I promised Carl we would meet again and here we are, getting ready to leave it all in the ring for a second time," Kessler offered. Froch promoter Eddie Hearn added: "This is one for the ages." And Kalle Sauerland, promoter of the "Viking Warrior" promised an "even better" fight than their first encounter.
The pair first met in a 2010 "Fight of the Year" candidate in Herning, Denmark, as a part of Showtime's "Super Six World Boxing Classic". Back then, Kessler seized a close and hard fought unanimous decision to take Froch's WBC belt and his unbeaten record. Nevertheless, Froch made it to the final of the Super Six by defeating Arthur Abraham and Glen Johnson. He lost a decision to Andre Ward, only to come back in his next fight in stunning fashion by absolutely destroying previously unbeaten IBF champ Lucian Bute in Nottingham, England. In his last fight, he defended that title against American Yusaf Mack, knocking the challenger down twice en route to a third-round knockout.
Kessler himself had to pull out of the Super Six after the Froch fight due to an eye injury but has since made a strong comeback, getting dominating wins of Mehdi Bouadla, Allan Green and most recently Brian Magee to capture the WBA regular strap.

Ed Sheeran may be British, but he found inspiration in America.
The "Sing" artist is set to release his second album, X, which he says came about after spending time in the U.S.
But was it the people or the places he visited that had the most influence?
"It's more people-based," he tells On Air with Ryan Seacrest. "And I took more influence from music here, and I got to work with a lot of cool people over here."

"If you want my opinion, I'm not sure he would even get in their team."
That quote, referring to Cesc Fabregas, Barcelona and transfer speculation linking the two, was attributed to Peter Hill-Wood this week. But Arsène Wenger does not believe the Arsenal chairman actually said it.
The manager cast doubt on those midweek reports when he faced the media at his pre-match press conference on Friday and reiterated his own belief that Fabregas could be a star anywhere in the world.
"I don't know about that [quote]," said Wenger. "I don't know if that is true.
"I think Cesc can get in any team in the world because he is one of the best players in the world and I am not completely confident that Mr Hill-Wood has said that."

My 2 year old Pitbull, Dre, constantly goes to the bathroom in his cage. I think it's a domination thing, like he is telling me he is gonna do what he wants when he wants. He also poops in the house. I was told he was house broken when I got him 4 months ago, however I have found this to be inaccurate. I was also told he gets along just fine with other dogs, however, a friend of mine brought his 10 week old puppy over, and Dre tried to eat him so to speak. I have never had a pitbull quite this stubborn. Not to mention I think he may have been abused by his previous owner. He is very skittish, and flinches anytime you move quickly. He is afraid of garbage bags, pop bottles, and just about anything else that makes noise. Again I have never dealt with this type of behavior before, however I don't really know how to deal with or remedy it. Anyone who might have some insight for me to deal with these issues, the info would be greatly appreciated. I love my dog with all my heart, but the behavior and stress are really starting to test my patience.

City to Cancel CTB/McGraw Hill's Contract Over Regents Problems
The Department of Education announced Friday that it will discontinue its contract with CTB/McGraw-Hill for electronic scanning and scoring of Regents exams. The new system was tried out last June and came under fire after lengthy delays and other problems at the scoring centers.
Department of Education spokeswoman Erin Hughes said CTB/McGraw-Hill had "experienced significant delays" in its distributed scoring services, which involved scanning the essay portions of students' Regents exams and then downloading them to centralized scoring centers for teachers to grade them at computer terminals.
The shift was made so that the teachers would not grade the exams of any students from their schools. But teachers complained that they spent hours waiting for the exams to download, and scoring continued right through high school graduations.
The D.O.E. said that CTB/McGraw Hill conducted two successful pilots for the process, but then "failed to properly prepare their document review, scanning and digital uploading and processes for the contracted volume of Regents exams."
"These failures, combined with the aggressive timeline in which our students need results on these exams, necessitate that we cancel the remaining portion of the contract," said Hughes.
She added that it will be impractical for the city to use electronic scoring for Regents exams in 2014.
Instead, teachers will report to centralized scoring centers where all exams will be scored using traditional scoring methods -- known as paper and pencil. Hughes said this process was successful for the Regents exams that were not scanned.
Brian Belardi, the director of media relations for CTB/McGraw-Hill, issued the following statement:
"We believe that online scoring technology has the potential to make assessment more efficient for students, teachers and administrators. We clearly saw the benefits of online scoring in our work with the New York City Department of Education on the Regents assessment in 2013, in which we processed nearly 2.8 million scores.
However, the transition from print to online scoring is complex – especially in a city with a student base as large as New York's – and given the challenges experienced on both sides, we understand the Department of Education's decision to step back from online scoring. We will use the knowledge and experiences gained in our work with New York City to refine our technology, and we look forward to using this technology to improve the assessment process in the future."
Teachers union president Michael Mulgrew blamed the problems on the D.O.E. for relying on an outside vendor. Although the state required districts to stop letting teachers score their own students' Regents exams this year, there was no prohibition on letting teachers score the exams of other students in the same school - which the D.O.E. had allowed in the past.
"The school system should never have 'outsourced' the work of teachers," he said. "The children of this city shouldn't have had to suffer though this to prove the point."
CTB/McGraw-Hill isn't the only testing company that ran into trouble in New York City this year. The D.O.E. also announced Friday that it will consider a new vendor to take over for Pearson in administering gifted and talented tests, which encountered scoring errors.
Pearson's three-year contract for $5.5 million is due to expire after the 2014-2015 school year. Earlier this year, Chancellor Dennis Walcott said he would consider terminating the contract but on Friday Hughes said it was too soon to make the change this year.
"The time required to identify, procure, and implement a new set of G&T assessments made it unfeasible to complete for 2013-14," she said. "The D.O.E. has begun a process to review assessments for G&T eligibility and will release a Request for Proposal (RFP) this fall, for implementation in 2014-15."
This mean the city could stick with Pearson for the final year of its contract if it doesn't find a superior proposal.
Pearson agreed to forego the $2.1 million cost of the 2012-2013 exams. Hughes said the city, "has worked extensively with Pearson to ensure that additional procedural safeguards will be implemented for the 2013-14 G&T testing process."
Meanwhile, the D.O.E. is also tinkering with the formula used to figure out a child's overall percentile ranking on the two G&T exams.
Last year, the D.O.E. replaced one of its two exams with the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test in an attempt to level the playing field for children who aren't exposed to as much reading at home or to test preparation programs. That exam counted for two thirds of a child's overall score.
The Otis Lennon School Abilities Test (OLSAT) counted for the remaining third. The city used only the verbal part of the test, known as the SAI.
Department of Education spokeswoman Erin Hughes told WNYC that the change was made because the city would be able to get more data on how its students performed.
"Last year, the D.O.E. did not have data on the performance of New York City students" on the Naglieri test, she said. "For this reason, the D.O.E. used data from the national samples for these tests in the 2012-13 scoring methodology."
This year, Hughes explained, the city is returning to its old methodology, the Normal Curve Equivalency, and will weight each exam equally.
A parent sued the city last year, claiming its methodology was faulty because it didn't have enough data on the students' performance. He ultimately lost his case.
Last year, so many more children were eligible for gifted and talented programs that a smaller percentage were offered seats.

Joshua Lynn Wilson
Correction: The original press release stated he was found at 9:55 pm. This is incorrect. Wilson was found at 9:55 AM on Wednesday.
I apologize for error
Sheriff John Montgomery
October 24, 2012
On Tuesday, October 23 at approximately 4:45 pm, Baxter County Deputy Doug Meurer was dispatched to a report of an abandoned vehicle at Steve's Satellite on Hwy 62 East, Mountain Home. The vehicle, a 2003 Ford Mustang was believed to have been sitting in the business parking lot since Sunday. Deputy Meurer found the Mustang unlocked with the keys in the ignition, a guitar in the back seat, a wallet and more than $150 cash in the car. When Deputy Meurer ran the vehicle license through the Arkansas Crime Information Center, ACIC, an alert showed the vehicle belonged to a missing Gosnell, Arkansas Man who had been missing since Sunday. A search of the local business's surveillance cameras and a search of the immediate area revealed nothing.
The Police Chief of Gosnell was contacted and he traveled to Mountain Home, arriving approximately 9 pm to assist with the investigation. Investigators worked well into the night searching for Wilson or clues as to his whereabouts. The investigation revealed that the missing man, 21 year old Joshua Lynn Wilson had left his home in Gosnell Sunday morning. Video surveillance showed Wilson getting money from an ATM in Gosnell and that was the last anyone had any contact with him.
The Ford Mustang is believed to have arrived in Mountain Home and parked at the business between 1 and 3 pm on Sunday. The Mustang had very little fuel in the tank but appeared to be in good mechanical condition. Several leads were followed up on; however there were no known acquaintances or ties to the Mountain Home area.
The Baxter County Helicopter was launched along with deputies to begin a more thorough search of the area. At approximately 9:55 am, 911 received a call of a man who appeared to be unconscious on Marquis Drive, East of Mountain Home, approximately 1 ½ miles from where the Mustang was found. The man was in a pair of gym shorts with no shirt or shoes and appeared extremely disoriented and was unable or unwilling to provide Deputies or Investigators with his name or how he got there. Gosnell Police Chief, Bobby Trump arrived at the scene and positively identified the man as Joshua Wilson.
Wilson was arrested and transported to the Baxter County Detention Center where he was charged with: Criminal Trespass and Public Intoxication.
Wilson was released to His father after posting a $440 bond pending his appearance in Baxter County District Court on November 15th.

The Wenatchee Mountains checker-mallow (Sidalcea
oregana var.
calva) is an herbaceous perennial known from wetlands
of the Wenatchee
Mountains in central Washington. The plant ranges in
height from 20 to
150 centimeters (8 to 60 inches), with pink flower
clusters with one to
many stalked flowers arranged singly along a common
stem. The species
occurs at six locations, all are known from Chelan
County, Washington.
Pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act)
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Sidalcea oregana var. calva
was listed as an
endangered species on December 22, 1999 (64 FR 71680).
fragmentation and destruction from alterations of
hydrology, rural
residential development, conversion of native wetlands
to orchards and
other agricultural uses, competition form nonnative
plants, seed and
plant collection, and fire suppression and the
activities associated
with fire suppression threaten Sidalcea oregana var.
In April 2000, as a result of a suit from the
Southwest Center for
Biological Diversity and the Center for Biological
Diversity, we
reached a settlement agreement on when to publish a
proposed and final
critical habitat designation for Sidalcea oregana var.
calva. We agreed
to publish a proposed critical habitat designation for
this species on
or before December 31, 2000, and a final critical
habitat designation
on or before August 31, 2001.
On January 18, 2001, we published a proposed rule
in the Federal
Register (66 FR 4783) to designate critical habitat
for Sidalcea
oregana var. calva. The original comment period closed
on March 19,

It is much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about the problem.

In a study The Economist is calling "nurture strikes back," a videogame—Medal of Honour: Pacific Assault, a first-person shooter—has helped improved a set of women's ability to perform in spatial awareness tests, even months after the test was conducted.
As a control, other volunteers were asked to play a decidedly non-action-packed puzzle game, called "Ballance", for a similar time. Both sets were then asked to do the odd-man-out test again.
Among the Ballancers, there was no change in the ability to pick out the unusual. Among those who had played "Medal of Honour", both sexes improved their performances.
That is not surprising, given the different natures of the games. However, the improvement in the women was greater than the improvement in the men--so much so that there was no longer a significant difference between the two. Moreover, that absence of difference was long-lived. When the volunteers were tested again after five months, both the improvement and the lack of difference between the sexes remained.
Clearly this means that more women should be playing first person shooters with me. It is about Halo 3 season. Who wants to join my all-women team? (I, as the sole male, will stay on board as the control subject. It's for science.)

Donaire moving up to 122
By Mike Bernier
Shortly after Nonito 'The Filipino Flash' won a unanimous lopsided decision over Omar 'El Hucacan' Narvaez, Top Rank held a short press conference at ringside. Both Donaire, draped in his WBO and WBC bantamweight belts, and Narvaez surrounded by his team spoke with the media. "He knew exactly how powerful I am," said Donaire. "One punch would have taken him out." Narvaez was happy to fight defensively and only averaged about 25 punches per round (bantamweight average is 60). Robert Garcia, Donaire's trainer, instructed his fighter in the corner between rounds to hit the body and land his left hook, but Narvaez fought a defensive fight. Garcia said, "He [Narvaez] didn't want to win rounds, he didn't even try. He's a two time world champion and we expected more."
Cameron Dunkin, Donaire's manager added "[Donaire] did everything that he could against a guy that didn't come to fight." Donaire will move up in weight to the Jr. Featherweight division (122lbs) for his next fight. Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum is planning on having Donaire fight again in the first part of next year. Dunkin mentioned names like Puerto Rico's Wilfredo Vazquez Jr., Mexico's WBO champ Jose Arce, Japan's WBC champ Toshiaki Nishioka, USA's WBA champ Rico Ramos, and current bantamweight IBF champ Abnar Mares if he moves up.
Narvaez said "It was difficult to move to 118, Donaire was very powerful, I didn't want to take any risk that wasn't necessary." Narvaez was very happy with his performance, "Donaire knocks everyone out, and he didn't knock me out!" It was obvious from anyone in attendance or watching on TV that Narvaez was satisfied to survive 12 rounds with Donaire rather than trying to actually win the title. Narvaez plans to move back down to 115 and start defending his WBO title again.
* * *
In the co-main event still undefeated featherweight NABF champion Mikey Garcia stole the show with his TKO victory over Juan Carlos Martinez. Cameron Dunkin who also manages Garcia's career said, "It was sensational performance, I saw something really special in him tonight, that's a pound for pound guy." Garcia was quiet through the first two rounds until he opened up and dropped Martinez with a left hook in the final seconds of the round. Dunkin said, "He feels the guy out and sees what he's got and then he starts picking them apart." Martinez came out for round four only to be swarmed by Garcia's rights and lefts that dropped him to the canvas twice before the fight was waved off. The featherweight division is deep with big name fighters and Garcia would like to be considered the top guy in the division. Dunkin said, "We're interested in Juanma Lopez but he doesn't hold a title so maybe a fight with [Celestino] Caballero for the WBA belt."

In the NFL draft, some players are a perfect match for a team. There are also players who are underrated but still become superstars. Landry Jones, the strong armed quarterback out of Oklahoma, is both.
Ever since Landry Jones was born, he seemed destined to be on one team - the Dallas Cowboys. Jones was named after Cowboys coach Tom Landry, who led the Cowboys to the Super Bowl multiple times. Jones was born in New Mexico, and went to college in Oklahoma, so he was never far from Dallas.
Now the Cowboys are in need of a starting quarterback. Tony Romo, the Cowboys current starting quarterback, is 32 and the Cowboys need a quarterback for the future. IF the Cowboys select Landry Jones, he would backup Romo and learn about playing quarterback in the NFL. When Tony Romo retires, Jones can take over. Former backups like Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and even Romo started their careers this way.
The Cowboys are in a great position to select Landry Jones. Jones is expected to be drafted behind a few other quarterbacks in the draft, and is thought to be selected during the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th round. The Cowboys are sure to be in position to get Jones, while still being able to get other good players.
Finally, Landry Jones is an outstanding athlete. While he is criticized for throwing a lot of interceptions, Jones had a quarterback rating of 130.8 or higher in each of his years with Oklahoma. Aaron Rodgers, who had the best quarterback rating in the NFL in 2012, had only a 108.0 rating. Also, Jones throws a lot of touchdowns, and he has arguably the strongest throwing arm in the 2013 NFL Draft.
That is why the Dallas Cowboys should use one of their picks on Landry Jones.

A first ever CWFC flyweight champion to be crowned in Dublin on June 1.
A first ever CWFC flyweight champion to be crowned in Dublin on June 1.
Awesome. Tourneys hold a special place in the hearts and memories of fans who got into the sport in the early days. For my money, they're still the numero uno way of separating the men from the boys. With that said, in terms of fighter safety and fight quality, the 4-man is the way to go for modern MMA.
There are lots of guys out there who have a shout for a spot here, but whatever happens, June 1st will go down as the date that the UK/EU saw it's first legit flyweight MMA champion crowned.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
Seriously though looking forward to having a Flyweight Champ at Cage Warriors
Awesome! Can't wait until the four participants are announced.
So who do you want to see step up to the plate for this? *no pun intended Jay*

A freighter packed with fresh supplies and critical repair parts for the International Space Station successfully rocketed away from Earth today and immediately began plotting a three-day trek to the orbiting outpost.
The Russian Progress M-58 spacecraft lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 9:41 a.m. EDT (1341 GMT) aboard a three-stage Soyuz booster.
The 24-foot (seven-meter) long ship, known in the station's assembly matrix as Progress mission 23P, reached its preliminary orbit nine minutes after liftoff and separated from the launcher's spent upper stage.
Onboard commands extended the Progress craft's two power-generating solar arrays that span 35 feet (10 meters) and unfurled communications and navigation antennas.
A series of precise engine firings over the next three days will guide the Progress into the station's orbit for the automated docking at 10:28 a.m. EDT (1428 GMT) Thursday. It will link up with the usual Progress parking spot at the station -- the Zvezda service module's aft port.
The cargo craft is loaded with 4,812 pounds (2,182 kilograms) of supplies. The "dry" cargo amounts to 2,784 pounds (1,262 kilograms) in the form of spare parts, repair gear, life support and equipment hardware. The payload includes repair parts for the Russian Elektron oxygen-generation system, which has been shut down since last month.
The refueling module carries 1,918 pounds (869 kilograms) of propellant for transfer into the Russian segment of the station to feed the outpost's maneuvering thrusters.
To replenish the station's oxygen supply, the Progress is bringing 110 pounds (49 kilograms) of oxygen.
The International Space Station is occupied by the Expedition 14 crew of commander Mike Lopez-Alegria and flight engineers Mikhail Tyurin and Thomas Reiter. Lopez-Alegria and Tyurin are beginning their second month on the complex, while Reiter has been there since July.

Publication Acceptance Date: 9/30/2004

Citation: Henry, W.B., Shaw, D.R., Reddy, K.R., Bruce, L.M., Tamhankar, H.D. 2004. Remote sensing to detect herbicide drift on crops. Weed Technology. 18:358-368. Interpretive Summary: The use of non-selective herbicides like glyphosate and paraquat has increased as producers decrease tillage and depend more on chemical weed control. Crops that have been genetically modified to withstand applications of these non-selective compounds have also increased in frequency. As the use of these compounds has increased, so has the amount of complaints regarding unwanted drift events. This experiment was designed to measure how well remotely sensed data could be used to detect and assess drift damage on crops. One of the most promising techniques for detecting paraquat drift on corn was able to correctly identify even slight injury caused by low rates of herbicide (compared to plants that were not sprayed with paraquat) 90% of the time at 1, 4, and 7 days after herbicide application. These analysis techniques are ready to be applied to field scale data.
Technical Abstract: Glyphosate and paraquat herbicide drift injury to crops may substantially reduce growth or yield. Determining the type and degree of injury is of importance to a producer. This research was conducted to determine if remote sensing could be used to identify and quantify herbicide injury to crops. Soybean and corn plants were grown in were grown in 3.8-L pots to the five to seven leaf stage, at which time applications of non-selective herbicides were made. Visual injury estimates were made and hypersepctral reflectance data were recorded at 1, 4, and 7 days after application (DAA). Several analysis techniques including multiple indices, signature amplitude with spectral bands as features, and wavelet analysis were employed to distinguish between herbicide-treated and nontreated plants. Classification accuracy using signature amplitude (SA) analysis of paraquat injury on soybean was better than 75% for both 1/2 and 1/8X rates at 1, 4, and 7 DAA. Classification accuracy of paraquat injury on corn was better than 72% for the 1/2X rate at 1, 4, and 7 DAA. These data suggest that hyperspectral reflectance may be used to distinguish between healthy plants and injured plants to which herbicides have been applied; however, the classification accuracies remained at 75% or higher only when the higher rates of herbicide were applied. Applications of a 1/2X rate of glyphosate produced 55 to 81% soybean injury and 20 to 50% corn injury 4 and 7 DAA, respectively. However, using signature amplitude analysis, the moderately-injured plants were indistinguishable from the uninjured controls, as represented by the low classification accuracies at the 1/8, 1/32, and 1/64X rates. The most promising technique for identifying drift injury was wavelet analysis, which successfully distinguished between corn plants treated with either the eighth or the half-X rates of paraquat compared to the nontreated corn plants better than 92% at 1, 4, and 7 DAA. These analysis techniques, once tested and validated on field scale data, may help determine the extent and the degree of herbicide drift for making appropriate and more importantly timely management decisions.

Just Between Us – Finally: Special Tools and Strategies for Military Couples
Marriage, under the best of circumstances, can be challenging.
That couples actually co-create loving, intimate and lasting marriages is nothing short of a testament to them as individuals and the attention and intention they bring to their love, to their marriage and to each other.
Add to that the stress and pressures of being a couple in the military, you have all the makings for challenges on steroids.
Then, add everything related to one or both partners being deployed, and you have a situation that requires special care and support.

Just Between Us – Everything You Need To Know About Being a High Functioning and Happy Step-Couple, Step-Family and Step-Parent
The Step-parent dynamic is one of the most, if not THE most, challenging relationship dynamics. There are many good reasons for this, and some not good reasons.
- Someone else is loving and taking care of OUR kids.
- Our kids are loving and enjoying being with another parent-type person, and for many that is simply intolerable.
- Sometimes people are so mad at each other and holding so much resentment that it leaks out all over everyone who comes into contact with them.
And the list goes on and on.
We can all talk about the problems and challenges from our own experience, and from the experiences of friends, family members, the parents of our kids' friends.
But what we don't do is talk about how to resolve the Step-stuff that is normal and natural. And that is the subject of our podcast today.
My guest for this episode is Jenna Korf ,co-author of the book, "Skirts At War: Beyond Divorced Mom/Stepmom Conflict," a Certified Stepfamily coach, blogger, stepmom and a stepchild! Jenna is also the developer of the Stepfamily Certification Course.

Just Between Us – Conflict: Friend, Foe, or a Rich Opportunity for Personal Growth and Healing
Do you the same argument with your partner over and over again?
Are you and your partner getting along well one minute and the next minute one of you has done or said something that triggers the other and literally rips both of you out of the sweet, loving moment you were sharing and into an uber bad place for both of you?
This is much more common than you may think.
We all fall into patterns of behavior with each other and we all have reactive patterns, meaning that we react to what is being said or done or at least what we t-h-i-n-k is being said or done, and we react vs stop, take a moment and then respond proactively.

Does your partner?
- On a scale of 1 to 3, when you think about the level of closeness and connection you have with your partner, where do you land?
- How much clarity do you have about what kinds of things may be keeping you from being as close and connected with your partner as you want to be?

Just Between Us – Great Sex: Don't Think For a Minute That Happens Only In Your Body
I hope you enjoy this Best of Dr. Jackie! I look forward to being back with you next time!
There's an old saying: "If you want to make love to your wife tonight you'd better start in the morning."
While that old adage comes right straight out of that old, outdated model of marriage, there is still a shade of truth for contemporary couples.
More than ever before in recorded history, contemporary couples are concerned with living their individual and their couple Vision, love of Self as well as Partner, and deepening emotional intimacy; "higher order needs" that require tools and skills necessary to create committed, intimate and lasting relationships in today's fast paced and information-driven world.
My guests in this episode are Mark Michaels and Patricia Johnson, the authors of a new book, Great Sex Made Simple: Tantric Tips to Deepen Intimacy & Heighten Pleasure, their third book in an amazing series. They are a devoted married couple and have been teaching Tantra together since 1999.
There are more misunderstanding about Tantra and Tantric sex than you can shake a stick at, as another old saying goes.
I encourage you to give a listen because Mark and Patricia will offer practical tools you absolutely will be able to put to work in your marriage that will help you and your partner deepen your intimacy in and OUT of the bedroom. Only a very small percentage of traditional Tantric practices are physically sexual in nature. So do yourself and your partner a favor, take 30-minutes and listen to this inspiring and enriching episode on Just Between Us!

Just Between Us – Best Kept Secrets of a Fulfilling Marriage Revealed
There are many myths about sex and romance in long-term relationships. There are also some universal truths.
For many men and women the beginning of a relationship is exciting! It's a time of high sexual attraction and abounding sexual energy.

Gentle reader: In recent days we have witnessed another step in the growing trend on the part of Corporate America to reduce, if not totally eliminate, all service employees.
We refer to the scene at the checkout area of the Kroger store, a scene duplicated no doubt at Food City, Ingles, and various other emporia.
These major chain stores have all fallen for the sales pitch on the part of the makers of the self-checkout machinery and bought and installed four, or more, of these atrocities.
The Rockwood Lady Tigers trailed 6-1 after four innings of play during Tuesday's District 3-A showdown with Harriman, but Guy Thompson's squad roared to life and scored 12 runs in the fifth and sixth innings alone in picking up a 13-11 victory over the Lady Devils.
One big inning propelled the Kingston Yellow Jackets to a 13-3 victory over the Loudon Redskins Monday evening at Southwest Point's Legion Field.
The shoe was on the other foot on Tuesday, however, as one bad inning cost the Jackets in an 8-4 loss at Loudon.
Jake Witter's Rockwood Tigers took a big step in securing an opening round bye in the upcoming District 3-A Tournament by picking up a pair of wins over Harriman earlier this week.
The sweep started on Monday as the Tigers traveled to Harriman and picked up a surprising 20-1 victory over the Blue Devils. Rockwood then won at home on Tuesday, 7-3.
The Kingston Lady Yellow Jackets enjoyed the comforts of home on Monday and Tuesday as Ronnie Ladd's squad rolled to a pair of easy wins.
On Monday, Kingston hosted Loudon in a District 4-AA contest and shutout the Lady Redskins, 10-0.
Tuesday would see the Lady Jackets knock off Meigs County in a non district game, 8-1.
Monday's Game
Kingston's Samantha Aycock fired a three-hitter with one walk and eight strikeouts in picking up the shutout victory over the Lady Redskins.
Offensively, Kingston played "Home Run Derby" as the Lady Jackets hit three home runs on the evening.
The Oliver Springs Bobcats wrapped up the regular season District 4-A title Monday evening with a 3-2 victory at Wartburg.
The title actually came with three district games left to play as the Bobcats improved to 9-0 in district play and no other team in District 4-A had less than four losses after Monday.
For Bobcat head coach Tony Kegley, winning the title early has a lot of rewards. The biggest advantage is avoiding playing in the tournament's play-in games on Friday, May 4 and Saturday, May 5.
Fans at Harriman's Flour Mill Flats were treated to a thrilling game Wednesday evening as the Midway Lady Green Waves downed the host Lady Devils in 10 innings, 6-4.
Much of Wednesday's contest would feature a home run contest between Lady Devil CF Haylee Goins and Midway's Danielle Borum. Both would hit two homers on the day with Harriman's Lindsey Higgins adding a fifth home run for good measure.
Goins, who hit two long balls 24 hours earlier at Rockwood, opened the scoring in the second inning with a solo home run to left field that gave the Lady Devils a 1-0 lead.
Michael Mayfield, the son of Republican congressional candidate Scottie Mayfield, damaged the tire of a Chuck Fleischmann campaign staffer on Tuesday.
The incident occurred in the parking lot of the Roane County Courthouse in Kingston and was caught on surveillance cameras.
Tyler Threadgill, the staffer, filed a report with the Kingston Police Department.
Tom Pierce didn't leave the decision on his future to Rockwood officials.
The Rockwood City Council received a brief resignation letter Monday from the embattled former Rockwood public works director.
Pierce was put on administrative leave earlier this year after auditors approached city officials about questionable purchases, including guns, with a city-owned credit card.
By MIKE GIBSON
Even with a proposed 12-cent tax increase, Kingston City Council is looking at fewer goodies for several city departments in a fiscal year where a new city hall and a raise for city employees are paramount.
Council members held an all-day budget workshop April 20, at which City Manager Jim Pinkerton presented the proposed budget for fiscal 2012-13.
That was followed by individual requests from each city department head, making the case for projects that may not have made the city manager's cut.

Alonso Frame was a midshipman on board the spaceship Titanic from the planet Sto.
The voyage aboard the Titanic was Alonso's first trip out. He turned down the chance to have a drink with his fellow crew members when Captain Hardaker told them to go and have one. Alonso then noticed that a meteor storm was heading toward the ship while the shields were down. Because they could destroy the ship, he tried to raise the shields and prevent the collision. The Captain, who was orchestrating the ship's destruction, shot him before he could do so. The meteors smashed into the ship, killing the captain and leaving Alonso badly injured.
Alonso helped prevent the Titanic from crashing into the Earth by following the Tenth Doctor's orders to keep the engines running. He was trapped in the bridge when the Heavenly Host appeared and tried to kill him; he put a deadlock seal on the door so they could not get in, but this meant he could not get out. After the defeat of Max Capricorn, the Doctor used the Heavenly Host to smash his way into the deadlocked room.
The Doctor was excited to hear Midshipman Frame's full name as it afforded him an opportunity to say "allons-y Alonso", something he had wanted to say for some time. The Doctor and Alonso worked together trying to stop the Titanic from crashing into London and Buckingham Palace. When they were back in space, the Doctor and Mr Copper left the ship for Earth, leaving Alonso to deal with the aftermath of the Titanic disaster. (TV: Voyage of the Damned)
Some time later, Alonso was in a nightclub for many species and approached the bar. He was surprised when Jack Harkness addressed him by his name, leading him to believe that Jack was psychic. The Doctor had just sent Jack a note with Alonso's name as a hint. As Jack began to flirt with Alonso, the Doctor departed. (TV: The End of Time)
Personality Edit
Alonso Frame was a man who was devoted to his duty and was determined to keep the people on the Titanic safe. He attempted to raise the Titanic's shields despite the Captain pointing a gun at him and shooting him. Alonso survived the injury and ignored it as he attempted to prevent the Titanic from crashing into Earth. (TV: Voyage of the Damned)
Alonso flirted with Captain Jack Harkness showing that he was, at the very least, not strictly heterosexual. (TV: The End of Time)
Behind the scenes Edit
- Frame was set to return as a Shadow Proclamation soldier in TV: The Stolen Earth / Journey's End, assisting the Doctor before being exterminated while fighting the Daleks. Tovey declined the role due to other work commitments. (The Writer's Tale)
- Though it did not come to pass, John Barrowman had theorised that it would have been a good idea for Alonso to reappear in Torchwood series four.[1] In 2017, Big Finish released One Enchanted Evening, an audio story which featured both charcters.

New York, July 26: The United Nations High-Level Meeting on Youth, hosted at the UN Headquarters in New York on 25 and 26 July 2011, focused on the views of young people as important stakeholders in modern society. ITUs side event held on the first day of the conference sought to address the issue of ICTs and Youth: A Catalyst for Peace, Human Rights and Development and featured panelists Mr Gary Fowlie of ITU's New York Liaison Office, Mr Doug Court of ITU Geneva and Mr Tik Root, a young American student who found himself inadvertently caught up in the events of the recent Arab Spring.
A key message coming from the event was that ICTs can and should be used to support article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states that: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; which includes the freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, recieve and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
ITU has been looking to engage with young people throughout the year 2011, via the Broadband Commission Working Group on Youth chaired by ITU Secretary-General Dr Hamadoun Touré. This group is soliciting input for a visual vision statement which calls for Internet and, more specifically, broadband services to be made more widely available at affordable prices. The group also hopes to bring the concerns and ideas of young people to the attention of the Broadband Commissioners during the upcoming Broadband Leadership Summit scheduled for 24 and 25 October in Geneva.

Box Score
ALVA, Okla - The Northwestern Oklahoma State University baseball team looked poised to complete a three game sweep of No. 4 Lubbock Christian, but the Chaparrals staged a huge comeback after being down nine runs and defeated the Rangers 18-13 at Myers Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Things looked outstanding in the early going for Northwestern (16-15, 6-7 Sooner Athletic Conference) which scored four times in the first and five times in the second inning.
Designated hitter Jonathan Freemyer doubled to plate Juan Natal and Wes Brorsen, both of whom got on base to start the game. Jose Maysonet's groundout scored Jarad Moore, who reached on a walk earlier in the inning. George Flores singled with two outs to plate Freemyer giving the Rangers a 4-0 lead.
After Natal walked to start the second inning, Brorsen crushed a ball over the wall in left giving Northwestern a 6-0 lead. Trevor Long got in on the action with a run scoring single. Maysonet doubled to center and Long scored on an LCU error. George Mendoza drove in the ninth run of the game for the Rangers with a single to right field.
Unfortunately for Northwestern, things were all downhill from there. Starting pitcher Jason Martyn, who cruised through the first two innings, gave up a pair of runs in the third and six runs in the fourth inning which chased him from the game.
With the score 9-8 in the fourth inning, Flores hit one in to the jet stream which left the yard to extend the Ranger lead to 10-8.
Northwestern kept this lead until the sixth inning when the Chaparrals used three doubles to score a pair of runs which tied the game at 10.
The game slipped away from the Rangers in the eighth when LCU scored eight times with the benefit of six Ranger walks. Northwestern tried to mount a comeback in the bottom half of the inning when Camilo Baldelomar put a charge in to one for his seventh home run of the season but couldn't get any closer.
Brorsen had three hits for the Rangers while Flores and Mendoza each added two.
The Rangers will play Dallas Christian at Myers Stadium on Wednesday at noon.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

Zomig has Severe & Extreme Side Effects
The main medicinal use of Zolmitriptan (Zomig) is to treat migraines. Besides relieving headaches, it clears other migraine symptoms such as vomiting, nausea and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Zomig does not offer a solution for preventing migraines, however, neither does it reduce frequency of migraines.
The Causes of Migraines Are:
Doctors believe migraines occur due to the swelling up of certain blood vessels inside the brain, this is a theory, and based on a lot of research, it seems to be pretty accurate. Zomig helps these blood vessels in returning to normal size, and it may inhibit pain signals within the brain.
Any Medicine May Trigger Side Effects, Zomig is no different
Any medicine may trigger a side effect, and the same applies to Zomig. It is not a risk free drug, and doctors prescribe it only when they are certain that its benefits to the patient outweigh its risks. However, for those consuming this drug, especially on a regular basis, it is recommended to have thorough knowledge of its side effects.
Thorough studies have been conducted for Zomig side effects through rigorous clinical trials. These studies involved detailed statistical reports of the side effects caused by Zomig, and the number of people afflicted by them. Though most people were able to tolerate Zomig well, its side effects did range from mild to serious. The chief side effects and the percentages of people afflicted by them are mentioned below in descending order:
Zomig Side Effects By Percentage:
- 6% felt either cold or warm sensations throughout their body
- Up to 8% felt drowsiness along with sleepiness and lack of motivation
- 9% felt weakness and didn't have a lot of normal energy
- Another 9% complained of nausea being a main side effect
- 10% felt pain in their jaw, throat or neck, along with pressure or tightness
- Another 10% felt abnormal tingling, pricking or burning sensations
- About 10% of the people complained of dizziness
- 21% reported unusualness in sense of taste (Zomig Nasal Spray)
Other Reactions from Zomig
There were other reactions which were noticed in smaller percentages of subjects (1-5% of people involved). They were as follows:
- Pain and problems in nasal region (Zomig Nasal Spray)
- Dryness in the mouth
- Tightness, pressure and pain in the chest besides build up of pressure and heaviness
- Heartburn / Stomach upset
- Vomiting
- Aggravation
- Profuse sweating
- Heightened sensitivity of senses, for instance, to sound and touch
- Difficulty in swallowing
- Vertigo, or a sensation of spinning
- Insomnia
- Pain in muscles
- Heart palpitation – rapid and forceful heart beat
- Pain in abdominal region
Extremely Rare Side Effects of Zomig
- Giant hives all over the body
- Diseases of insufficient blood flow to the heart muscles
- Life threatening allergic reactions
- Heart attack
- Serotonin syndrome
- Decreased white blood cells
- Forming of dead tissue in the spleen
- Ventricular fibrillation
- Gangrene of intestine due to lack of blood supply
Zomig Allergic Reactions
Although rare, this drug may also cause very severe allergic reactions. Symptoms may include rash, dizziness, itching or swellings. Among its other rare effects is reduced blood flow to various parts of the body including the brain and heart. It is absolutely essential to contact a medical specialist if any of its side effects are felt, since they may be related to aforementioned lack of blood flow.
Please be cautioned that this is not an exhaustive list of the side effects related to Zomig. If you observe other abnormal effects upon taking this drug, be sure to contact a doctor immediately.

Basicly after trying other filler for several years I decided to try some permanent ways to inmprove my face volume.
The first day i tryed i had a big swelling but was almost gone next day and completely gone after few days. The results were not bad however after all swelling was completely gone I found that the volume on the area treated lowered therefore I had to continue applying on the same area till I got the expected volume it took me abot 4 syringes(.8 CC per syringe) to get my goal on that area when i usually use a 1/4 of(.4cc) of Radiesse to get the same results. Is good to know that each ArteFill syringe(.8cc) is at least $1,000 and average price of about $1,500 or more in South Florida area.
Finally after spending over $6,500 found that I would need at least 4 times that amount to get the goals I wanted when i usually spent 2 syringes of the other product( not even $1,000 in my case since i have a very special price with my doctor)
In my opinion Artefill is good for small areas as litle depressions on the upper face and others unless you are aware and agree with the budget you might need for wider areas as the nasofabial and or smiling areas to get your goals. The fact is that arteFill consistance is thinner than other products beside the syringe is just .8cc. I would say that the product might be worth depending on your budget limitations and you awareness of the amount of product you may need and its equivalancy money wise.

Subaru WRX Forum (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/)
- Bolt-On Tech (EJ205 2.0L '02-05 WRX) (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f52/)
- - 4eat front diff and (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f52/4eat-front-diff-30503/)
4eat front diff and
So i am looking to change the front differential fluid on my 04 WRX. I just did the rear diff and it was a breeze. i am not sure about the front however. i have heard that the front diff is just ran off the tranny fluid for the 5spd, and the 4eat has separate fluid for the front diff. How would i go about changing out the front diff fluid?
there is a drain plug on the bottom and you will have two dip sticks on your trans, one on the left and one on the right side. I changed my friends out for him and that plug was on there so darn tight. haha good luck man.
I've read through those instructions, but it doesn't really tell you where to fill it from and where the dip sticks are supposed to be for each.
Could someone clarify this?
So, apprantly you did no really read the PDF. I just looked at it and found the answers to all your questions. Of the two dip sticks one on the right side and one on the left. The one dipstick has 4 markings on it. Hot - (H)igh, Hot - (L)ow, Cold - (H)igh, and Cold - (L)ow is the transmission dip stick. The other dip stick that has only a (H)igh and (L) marks on it....is your diff dip stick. The PDF has a pictures of the drain plug locations. The picture is kind of confusing, but the diff drain plug looks like its by a Y-pipe of some sort and it looks like its below the drive shaft. Look at page 51 on the PDF to see what I am talking about. Plus, it says to fill the diff with 1.3 US Qts of GL-5 or equivalant diff oil in the guage hole (where you pulled the dip stick out of). Lower the car before you fill it though. Without real pictures that is about as good as I can help.

My Child's Behavior
My son is already 4 years old but starting the age of 2, I noticed that he seems to be fidgeting around most of the time. I want to know if it has something to do with his food intake. Do I have to do something about it or is it just normal?

There were 4.5bn journeys in the UK in 2004 - up 2% on 2003, says the Confederation of Passenger Transport.
It says bus travel is more reliable and the industry is "enjoying something of a renaissance".
But critics say a big rise in bus use in London and free travel for Scottish and Welsh pensioners, is masking "dismal trends" elsewhere.

The Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT) says the fastest-growing route is the Lanchester to Newcastle Go North East route, which has seen a 131% increase in passengers.
Other fast-growing services were the Clitheroe to Manchester Blazefield Holdings service, which shot up 94% and the Blaenavon to Newport Stagecoach service, which rose 66%.
The CPT says more commuters are taking the bus - accounting for an extra seven million journeys last year.
Spokesman Simon Posner said: "Modern bus travel is increasingly reliable, convenient and cost-effective."
But Jonathan Bray of the Passenger Transport Executive Group - which represents public transport in seven urban areas outside London - said things were different north of Watford.
He told BBC News: "In London bus use is soaring at nearly 10% last year - it's gone up a third in five years.
"In the big cities outside London we have seen a decline of between 3% and 4% in the last couple of years."
He said transport planners outside London were envious of mayor Ken Livingstone's powers to regulate buses, as deregulation meant fare rises and reductions in "socially necessary" services.
"People [in London] don't know how lucky they are," Mr Bray said.
