Nothing gets a rabid MMA fan frothing quicker than a pound-for-pound rankings list.
But a clear majority of MMAjunkie.com readers agree on who's the greatest fighter in UFC history.
In our latest MMAjunkie.com/"Inside MMA" poll, voters crowned reigning UFC middleweight Anderson Silva the best who's ever been seen inside the octagon.
The results were revealed on Friday's new episode of HDNet's weekly MMA news show, and a strong 67 percent of voters said Silva is tops while 33 percent dissented.
Silva meets top contender Yushin Okami tonight at UFC 134, which takes place at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro. The event's main card airs on pay-per-view.
The strong numbers fall in line with Silva's impressive odds leading into the fight, which give him a nearly 80 percent chance of winning.
No UFC fighter has posted a longer win streak in the octagon. Since his UFC debut five years ago, Silva has ruled the middleweight division with an iron fist while winning a record 13 consecutive times and defending his title a record eight times.
In his most recent performance at UFC 126, the champ delivered the most stunning addition to his already-long highlight reel by knocking out Vitor Belfort with a front kick.
What's more, only a few men have robbed Silva of offensive momentum. Dan Henderson and Demian Maia had short stints in the driver's seat, and Chael Sonnen came within a hair of a dominating victory at UFC 117. But Sonnen was submitted in the fifth round, thereby solidifying Silva as not only a leader but a comeback kid.
"The Spider" is all but a lock for the UFC Hall of Fame. At 36, he is believed to be in the final stretch of his career and could retire within two years.
"Anderson wants big fights, and he doesn't know how much longer he's going to fight," UFC president Dana White told MMAjunkie.com following a pre-event press conference for UFC 134. "But he wants big fights. He wants fights that are going to mean something.
"Let me tell you, he's [expletive] rich right now. Another two years? I think he'd be good to go."
Do you believe Silva is the UFC's best ever? State your case in the comments section below.

Papa Razzi Westbury replaced by Dilettos
Papa Razzi, the sprawling restaurant at the intersection of Glen Cove Road and Jericho Turnpike, has been transformed into Dilettos.
In February, the lone Long Island branch of a Boston-based chain, Westbury's Papa Razzi, was bought by its general manager, Michael Barbosa. The restaurant never closed, but last week, the Papa Razzi signs came down and the Dilettos signs went up.
The name, according to Barbosa, is Italian dialect for "delight." "It's something my wife and I heard a lot when we have traveled in Italy," he said.
At Dilettos, Barbosa is joined by his brother, executive chef Paul Barbosa. The new menu, which should launch in early June, will not be radically different from Papa Razzi's. Pastas will be in the $15 to $19 range; most entrees from $16 to the low $20s. Individual pizzas from the wood-burning oven will be about $10.
Dilettos Restaurant is at 1500 Jericho Tpke., Westbury, 516- 877-7744,

The last eclipse of 2011 is a total lunar eclipse on December 10 visible from Vancouver, Seattle, California, Oregon, Canada, Calgary. There won't be another total lunar eclipse for three years. Viewers in the western half of the United States will have the best views Saturday well before dawn. The farther west the better.
Google Doodle (as the tech giant likes to call the logo on its search engine site) will mimic the eclipse with photos of the actual event itself. A click and a push of the slider under the doodle moves the images from a white moon to red and back to white again, replicating the Earth's shadow passing by. The lunar eclipse will also be on YouTube.
Weather permitting, Seattle could get a rare eyeful in the wee hours of Saturday morning. The total eclipse will begin at 6:06 a.m. PST and last for 61 minutes, but Seattle Total Lunar Eclipse watchers will get their best view of the eclipse's early stages around 5 a.m. The best views will be from the top of a hill.
The scene from the Pacific — Australia and parts of Asia — will be prime. The action will be unfolding there Saturday night, local time. In order to observe the selenelion, you should make sure that both your east-southeast and west-northwest horizons are free of any tall obstructions that might block your views of the setting moon or rising sun. Depending on the clarity of your sky, you might actually lose sight of the moon about 10 or 15 minutes before sunrise thanks to the brightening morning twilight and the moon sinking into any horizon haze (atmospheric "schmutz"). This holds only for the uneclipsed portion of the moon. Indeed, if the moon is totally eclipsed at moonset, you will probably have to scan the western horizon as the twilight increases in order to detect the moon, which will perhaps resemble a dim and eerily illuminated softball.
Western Canada, including Vancouver, is the place to be for Saturday morning lunar eclipse. Environment Canada is forecasting just a few clouds overnight for the Vancouver region.
The Moon's orbital trajectory takes it through the southern half of Earth's umbral shadow. Although the eclipse is not central, the total phase still lasts 51 minutes. The Moon's path through Earth's shadows as well as a map illustrating worldwide visibility of the event are shown in Figure 6. The timings of the major eclipse phases are listed below.
Penumbral Eclipse Begins: 11:33:32 UT
Partial Eclipse Begins: 12:45:42 UT
Total Eclipse Begins: 14:06:16 UT
Greatest Eclipse: 14:31:49 UT
Total Eclipse Ends: 14:57:24 UT
Partial Eclipse Ends: 16:17:58 UT
Penumbral Eclipse Ends: 17:30:00 UT
At the instant of greatest eclipse (14:32 UT) the Moon lies at the zenith in the Pacific Ocean near Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. The umbral eclipse magnitude peaks at 1.1061 as the Moon's centre passes 21.4 arc-minutes south of the shadow axis. The Moon's northern limb is then 6.4 arc-minutes south of the shadows axis and 33.3 arc-minutes from the umbra's edge. In contrast, the Moon's southern limb lays 36.5 arc-minutes from the shadow centre and 3.2 arc-minutes from the southern edge of the umbra. Thus, the northern half of the Moon will appear much darker than the southern half because it lies deeper in the umbra.
Since the Moon samples a large range of umbral depths during totality, its appearance will change dramatically with time. It is difficult to predict the brightness distribution in the umbra, so observers are encouraged to estimate the Danjon value at different times during totality (see Danjon Scale of Lunar Eclipse Brightness). Note that it may also be necessary to assign different Danjon values to different portions of the Moon (i.e., north vs. south).
During totality, the winter constellations are well placed for viewing so a number of bright stars can be used for magnitude comparisons. Aldebaran (mv = +0.87) is 9° to the southwest of the eclipsed Moon, while Betelgeuse (mv = +0.45) is 19° to the southeast, Pollux (mv = +1.16) is 37° east, and Capella (mv = +0.08) is 24° north.
The entire event is visible from Asia and Australia. For North Americans, the eclipse is in progress as the Moon sets with western observers favored by a larger fraction of the eclipse before moonset. Observers throughout Europe and Africa will miss the early eclipse phases because they occur before moonrise. None of the eclipse can be seen from South America or Antarctica.
So, enjoy the total lunar eclipse on December 10 from Vancouver, Seattle, California, Oregon, Canada, Calgary..

http://mmajunkie.com The Nevada State Athletic Commission is sympathetic to Duane "Bang" Ludwig's claim to the UFC record for fastest knockout.
And it's currently looking into what can be done.
NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer today contacted the Nevada Attorney General's Office to see if there's a legal basis for changing the result of Ludwig's 11-second knockout of Jonathan Goulet, which took place in January 2006 at UFC Fight Night 3 (and by all indications ended around the four- or five-second mark).
"A lot of people, including me, would love to change Josh Barnett's win over Randy Couture to a no-contest, or Tim Sylvia's win over Gan McGee to a no-contest, but we don't have that authority," Kizer today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
(Both fighters failed post-fight drug tests after their wins.)
Ludwig's latest request actually is the second his camp has made to the NSAC about changing the result. The first occurred in mid-2006 after Kizer took office as the commission's executive director. A similar inquiry to the state's attorney general was unsuccessful.
"Back then, they said there's nothing in the statute or the regulations that allows it to be changed, and that was pretty much the end of it," Kizer said. "I don't know if anything's different now, but I want to see.
"Maybe there's something the prior attorney general didn't consider with this."
Ludwig (21-11 MMA, 4-2 UFC) sent a packet to the NSAC in recent weeks that contained a video of the fight (obtained from the UFC), as well as a link to a Facebook petition to have the result changed. Additionally, there was a picture of him alongside official record-holder Todd Duffee, who was clocked at seven seconds for his KO of Tim Hague at UFC 102, smiling and holding up four fingers while Duffee held up seven.
Ludwig's Facebook petition now has in excess of 5,600 "likes" on Facebook.
"Hopefully that gets locked down," he told MMAjunkie.com Radio. "That would be cool."
The Denver native's next task is to get healthy. Ludwig today goes into surgery for a compressed disc in his neck that he suffered in camp for a fight with Amir Sadollah at UFC on Versus 5.
Although Ludwig dominated the fight en route to a decision victory, he did not prepare properly as a result of the injury.
"I literally sparred one time for [the] camp," he said.

understanding the facts...
As far as the pit bull situation, I found this informative. It was posted by Chicago's veterinary association in response to their city's attempt to create breed specific legislation.
Frequently asked questions concerning the ban:
1) Are pit bulls really the most likely breed to bite?
The Center for Disease Control has reviewed national bite statistics and concludes from this data, no specific dog can be labeled the most aggressive, therefore statistics used to support breed bans are inappropriate. http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/duip/biteprevention.htm
2) I want to protect my child no matter what, how can you say that banning pit bulls won't prevent future attacks?
Because all types of dogs can inflict injury, bans do not diminish violence. The bite statistics of individual cities that have banned pit bulls, such as Winnipeg, which has for 14 years, are not reduced, only changed in breed to German Shepherds and Rottweilers. CVMA wants to see legislation that will protect the public for years to come. http://www.doglegislationcouncilcanada.orgstatistics.html
3) Won't this help reduce gang-related activities and even spare pit bulls from the abuse they suffer in related pit bull fighting circles?
The population that is responsible for breeding and training the aggressive pit bulls is underground. These criminals will simply go further underground or switch breeds to continue their elicit activity.
4) Why isn't the simplest solution to all the recent pit bull attacks a breed ban?
Imposing a breed ban is extremely difficult for: 1) Identifying and differentiating from similar breeds/mixes; 2) High cost of support staff to uphold ban; 3) Loss of revenue to city from relocation of families refusing to relinquish pit bulls; 4) Creating an overwhelming burden on local shelters and neighboring cities to handle relinquished pit bulls. Some cities, such as Cincinnati, have even revoked their pit bull bans.
5) What is an alternative solution for breed bans?
Education on socialization, bite prevention, pet selection and pet responsibility are long-term reasonable solutions to enhance public safety. Stronger enforceable non-breed-specific dangerous dog laws, as well as leash laws, are also very important.

Back-asswards Pit Bull Laws
Because people simply cannot figure out the basic cause and effect phenomenon, we have two utterly moronic bills flopping around like dying fish in our legislature. The bill would ban pit bull dog ownership, period. Any dog deemed 50% or more pit bull would have to be relinquished by July 2008. And if you keep the dog, it is a misdemeanor.
Links: http://www.legislature.state.tn.us/bills/currentga/BILL/SB3827.pdf and http://www.legislature.state.tn.us/bills/currentga/BILL/HB3984.pdf
Nevermind that the owners are the problem. Nevermind education about responsible ownership. Nevermind enforcing responsible ownership. Let's punish everyone for the stupid and irresponsible few. Let's especially punish an entire breed of dog for ignorance in ownership. Let's pretend dogfighting will be resolved by this. In fact, all the law abiding citizens with well-behaved pits will be relinquishing their animals while the people who are problematic keep theirs in a dingy basement on a chain.
Then what?
Then the stupid and irresponsible few will go out and find other, new dogs to neglect…maybe a German Shepherd, maybe a Doberman. Any dog can be made vicious and/or unstable.
We had a pit mix who was the meekest little dog on earth. We've had an aggressive beagle/lab mix we had to take to behavioral counseling because she wouldn't give up the alpha spot.
I was attacked by two dogs in my life…a St. Bernard who thought I was a stranger in my friend's house (she only ripped my shirt thanks to fast hands and a sturdy collar) and my piano teacher's miniature poodle who managed to sink a fang tooth into my thigh. That dog hated me for some reason. I'll never know why.
Without a doubt there are vicious dogs out there. Without a doubt there are A LOT of stupid, uneducated owners out there. Without a doubt there are pit bulls who are sweet and pit bulls who have a bad attitude. However, I think it is very rare to see an ill-tempered pit with a responsible owner.
Right down the street from me are two pit-mixes (probably more than 50% pit) who are chained up in a backyard. They receive little to no attention, their bowls are often knocked over and they are caked in mud with shabby little houses to sleep in. Tell me whose fault it is if those dogs do not turn out well-adjusted.

Civil trial begins in Kenneth Ellis shooting
Judge previously ruled shooting violated Ellis' rights under Fourth Amendment
Testimony started Thursday in a civil lawsuit filed by the family of Kenneth Ellis, who was shot and killed by an Albuquerque police officer.
A judge previously ruled the shooting violated Ellis' Fourth Amendment rights. Now a jury is being asked to put a monetary value on an Iraq War veteran's life.
Ellis was shot by Albuquerque detective Brett Lampiris-Tremba in 2010. The defendant's team said evidence shows a situation where police believed they were in imminent danger because Ellis was agitated and armed.
However, attorneys representing the Ellis family said the veteran and Purple Heart recipient held the gun to his own head and said he didn't want to hurt anyone but himself.
They also said officers on scene didn't do enough to diffuse the situation.
Officer Trey Economiddy took the stand after opening statements. He was present during the incident. Prosecution drilled him on his training, focusing on if he had been taught how to deal with suspects with mental illness.
Ellis had post-traumatic stress disorder.
The defense asked the jury to consider that Ellis was unemployed, saying he had anger management issues that prevented him from working with others. They also pointed out Ellis was on probation at the time of the shooting.
The trial resumes Friday at 9 a.m.

This area of southern Utah is called Rincon (Spanish for "corner"). Here Comb Wash and Comb Ridge meet the San Juan River. This area is loaded with historical significance. Anciently, Anasazi Indians inhabited the area and left buildings, trails and petroglyphs.
In the late 1800's Mormon pioneers traveled through this place on their way to what is now Bluff, Utah. They managed to get their wagon train up on the bench by navigating the steep rock ravine seen in this image (looking down and to the east).
Today this place is visited by history buffs, nature seekers and river floaters.
Utah is a state located in the westcentral region of the United States of America. Utah is the 13th largest state by area, ranks 34th by population and 10th by population density of the 50 United States. Utah was the 45th state to be admitted into the Union, on January 4, 1896. Utah is landlocked, being bordered by the states of Idaho to the north, Wyoming to the northeast, Nevada on the west, Colorado on the east and Arizona to the south. Utah is very mountainous and is a popular outing destination of the outdoorsman. The state population is about 2.82M with 95% being Caucasian, 2.4% Asian, 1.7% Native American and 1.3% Black. The state capital and largest city is Salt Lake City.Source: wikipedia

Expert trio take on Africa's health care problems - one step at a time
Africa's debilitating quarter share of the world's disease burden, with just 3% of the globe's health workers and 1% of its finances, is to be tackled through a unique international partnership involving a top South African NGO. Aimed at improving quality, access and affordability and beginning with sub-Saharan Africa, the partnership will upgrade health care facilities by offering a quality improvement framework and incentivised performance-based loan mechanisms. At the same time the majority low-income patients will be offered pragmatic subsidised voluntary private health insurance via a prepayment scheme.
The local Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa (COHSASA), its global equivalent Joint Commission International (JCI) - a World Health Organization (WHO)-designated Collaborating Centre for Patient Safety Solutions and PharmAccess, an innovative Dutch healthcapacity-buildingandeconomic empowerment body, held a founding conference in Cape Town last month.
They aim to bring their considerable skills, resources and experience to bear by identifying problems in every department at selected health care facilities and incrementally providing support and incentivised funding to upgrade them.
Geographical locations will be chosen by comparing facilities to surrounding populations. (Once populations are too dispersed and facilities too few, the input/return ratio for such initiatives becomes less viable.)
Called the SafeCare Initiative, the 'step-wise' improvement process will be available to governments, donors, health insurers, social investors and loan providers to implement performance-based financing incentives in tandem with medical quality improvement.
Facility successes compounded
Once facilities show improvement (with graded certification awards that enable patients to assess their quality of care and thus enhance their reputation), they can also negotiate being part of insurance programmes and attract foreign loans or investment.
The latest technology will be brought to bear in assessing and monitoring facilities with advanced computer information systems and hand-held devices enabling adverse event reporting, report generation and at-a-glance access to any data for management.
The first chairperson of the initiative, Professor Stuart Whittaker, who is also COHSASA's founder and CEO, stressed that 'this is not a quick-fix but rather an incremental process towards excellence. Properly applied, it will mean that health workers will be able to meet professional and internationally accredited standards of safety and quality and therefore be in a position to provide the same to their patients'.
The United States-based JCI will make available standards and evaluation methods designed to provide quantifiable benchmarks for patient quality care as well as a set of sophisticated staff e-training modules. COHSASA will offer its web-based quality information system that guides the process towards quality improvement and accreditation. It does this by measuring compliance levels against set standards and identifying deficiencies in a prioritised order. PharmAccess's main role will be to use its (Dutch government, WHO-funded and potentially USAIDS-funded) Health Insurance Fund (R250 million at the time of writing, but probably up to R390 million if a USAID application succeeds) and Medical Credit Fund (currently at R20 million and climbing) to respectively initiate voluntary private health insurance and provide complementary financial support and technical help to medical providers through performance-based loan mechanisms.
Health care pre-payment a foreign concept among the poor
Michiel de Wilde, CEO of PharmAccess, told Izindaba that for many indigent or low-income Africans, the entire concept of pre-paying to insure oneself for unknown risk was a foreign concept. 'We play what we call a Treasury Pot game with them, be they dairy farmers or market women. Initially they each get five pieces of candy or marbles and are asked to draw a card graphically describing some kind of health problem. Each card or condition has a candy or marbles numerical value or currency. Let's say a cardiovascular problem costs eight marbles but you only have five, so you sit in hospital until you get more marbles. It turns out that most of them get into trouble because they don't have the means to solve the medical problem.'
The next phase of the game involves participants pooling their currency and almost everyone being helped - but with no currency left to buy food. The third and final phase sees each participant put two of their marbles/candy into the pot and the Health Insurance fund add three (per person) - everyone then gets health care without going hungry.
De Wilde said thatbyavoiding 'catastrophic risk' in this way and over time increasing subsidised co-payments, a community or country's economy and health improved markedly. Operational research in Nigeria was showing that pregnant women on the scheme were already visiting clinics more often. He said PharmAccess's corporate programme in Namibia for example (Heineken) was expanding into rural areas using mobile clinics and building experience for replication in the SafeCare Initiative.
De Wilde said he first met up with Whittaker at a quality care conference some seven years ago and 'over time we developed the idea of working together - it's a natural fit; we do performance-based financing and they do care quality improvement'. The initiative will also create an open-source platform to encourage health care workers in resourcelimited countries to share knowledge and experience and store the wealth of data generated by the projects.
Creating a data gold mine
Erwin Schella, Professor of Public Leadership at the University of Stellenbosch and a COHSASA board member, said the idea behind what will be called the SafeCare Institute was to become the leading international think-tank for safe health care in resource-restricted settings. He will collate data and lead the academic institute, initiating research based on the vast amount of data generated.
'The potential for innovation is limitless. We want to create a cutting-edge forum for and within organisations and provide a platform for knowledge management. We cannot afford to lose the richness of these data. I want to move away from policy rules and power-dominated bureaucracy and create something where knowledge networking and relationships will be dominant so that we can come up with a lot of possible research projects to improve quality in health. We want co-operation, rather than control, to be strong on vision and weak on boundaries,' he enthused.
*COHSASA has worked in over 530 facilities in both the public and private sector in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Swaziland, Lesotho, Rwanda, Nigeria and Zambia over the past 16 years. The council operates in hospitals, clinics, hospices and sub-acute facilities. PharmAccess first gained profile with its HIV/AIDS workplace program for Heineken in 2001 and today works in over 30 countries with offices in Amsterdam (co-ordinating centre), Namibia, Nigeria, Kenya and Tanzania. JCI, established in 1994, consults, educates and internationally accredits facilities in more than 80 countries.

Swanson's chicken challenged me to create a recipe to solve the 5 o'clock dinner dilemma. My biggest challenge with dinnertime is to remember to set out the meat from the freezer. Nine times out of ten I have a plan, but if that plan requires simply removing the meat from the freezer, my mama brain goes mush and I forget until it's time to begin making dinner!
When the microwave defrost button is even more than I have time for, I look into my pantry to see what alternatives there might be. A simple can of Swanson's Premium Chunk Chicken can solve the dinner dilemma in a flash.
I created a Buffalo Chicken and Black Bean Wrap using Swanson's Premium Chunk Chicken. I am a huge fan of wraps and my family is too. Everything seems to taste good when it is wrapped in a warm tortilla! The bit of heat provided by the wing sauce gives this wrap a grown up flavor, but kids love it too.
How do you solve the 5 O'Clock Dinner Dilemma?
Recipe: Buffalo Chicken and Black Bean Wrap
- 2 12.5 oz cans Swanson's Premium Chunk Chicken, drained
- 1 16 oz can Bush's Black Beans, drained
- 1/4 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce, mild
- 1/3 cup Ranch salad dressing
- 1 cup Dole Spring Salad mix
- 1/2 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 8 flour tortilla, warmed
- Heat chicken and black beans in a medium saucepan. Add Buffalo Wing Sauce and heat through.
- Spread 1 tablespoon Ranch dressing on each tortilla. Add a small handful of spring salad mix and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Spoon 1/4 cup of chicken and black bean mixture into tortilla. Wrap up, burrito style, and serve warm.

Chelsea's hopes of advancing from the Champions League quarterfinals hang by a thread after Paris St Germain claimed a convincing first leg win at the Parc des Princes.
Eden Hazard's penalty had given the Blues a potentially vital away goal, but Javier Pastore's brilliant stoppage-time solo goal, added to earlier strikes from Ezequiel Lavezzi and a David Luiz own goal, saw PSG take a two-goal advantage into next week's second leg at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea, the 2012 European champions, were looking to book their place in a seventh semi-final in 11 campaigns but started without a recognised striker. With Samuel Eto'o injured, Jose Mourinho selected Andre Schurrle as a 'false nine', appearing to finally lose patience with Fernando Torres.PSG, unbeaten in their previous 28 European home games, began with a bang and took a fourth-minute lead when one of the three strikers Mourinho had highlighted could be the difference in the contest struck a fine half-volley.
It was Lavezzi – rather than Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Edinson Cavani – who fired into the roof of the net after a poor headed clearance from John Terry.Chelsea equalised before the interval when Hazard – courted by PSG – converted a penalty after Oscar was fouled by Thiago Silva. Hazard also hit the post before half-time and PSG were denied a spot-kick when Cavani turmbled under Gary Cahill's aerial challenge. Torres replaced Schurrle after 60 minutes, but no sooner had he joined the action than Chelsea were behind again as Lavezzi's free-kick was swung in menacingly and bundled into the net by David Luiz.
Ibrahimovic, still chasing a first Champions League triumph, departed clutching his right hamstring with more than 20 minutes remaining – but Pastore ensured the night and potentially the tie would end in PSG's favour, beating Petr Cech at his near post after a mazy run. Two changes were made to the Chelsea line-up following the loss at Crystal Palace which saw Mourinho concede the Premier League title chase was over. Ramires and Willian replaced the ineligible Nemanja Matic and Torres, whose place at the focal point of the attack was taken by Schurrle.
The Germany international performed the same role against Manchester United last August in a dour goalless draw and Mourinho would have been content for a similar result. That possibility was soon extinguished as Ibrahimovic robbed Luiz and Terry's weak header from Blaise Matuidi's cross fell for Lavezzi, who hit an exquisite half-volley into the roof of Cech's net. Chelsea were struggling to get hold of the ball, giving it away freely, and a poor Schurrle corner resulted in a Lavezzi-led counter-attack and Ramires halting the move cynically at halfway. The Brazil midfielder, in the middle of a domestic suspension, will miss next Tuesday's second leg as a result. PSG were content for Chelsea to pass the ball at the back and – bar one Luiz shot from distance which was easily held by Salvatore Sirigu – there was little danger from the visitors.
The threat from PSG was all the more apparent, as Lavezzi held off Cahill to squeeze a shot into the side-netting. Chelsea were awarded a penalty when Thiago Silva mis-timed his lunge towards Oscar, felling his compatriot.Hazard sent Sirigu the wrong way from the spot to equalise. The Belgium forward then beat Sirigu again only to strike the foot of the post with a fine volley. PSG were denied after Ibrahimovic beat Terry to a cross from the right and nodded centrally towards Cavani, who hit the deck as he battled with Cahill. On this occasion Serbian referee Milorad Mazic was unmoved.
PSG had slackened off after the opening goal and resumed after the break with renewed vigour, Lavezzi rising unopposed to head just over from Matuidi's left-wing cross. With PSG pushing for a second, Mourinho realised Chelsea would have space on the break and replaced Schurrle with Torres with 30 minutes remaining. Moments after Torres entered the fray the hosts had their second when Lavezzi's wickedly inswinging free-kick bamboozled everybody, particularly Luiz, who inadvertently kicked the ball into his own net.
Hazard made a fine burst as he tried to spark Chelsea, but Thiago Silva cut out his pass intended for Torres. Willian then beat Maxwell on the Chelsea right, but no-one was in the box to react to his cross. Ibrahimovic, after a subdued performance, limped off, with Cavani moving into a central role. The Uruguay striker wrong-footed the entire Chelsea defence with six minutes to go and his fierce shot beat Cech but went past the post. PSG claimed their third when Pastore danced around three Chelsea defenders on the right of the box, cut in and beat Cech with a fine shot.

About PGH
Political Gum Hockey is all about politics. I will offer viewpoints, opinions, and ideas on candidates, policies, parties, and anything else related to politics that I think is worth noting. With the 2012
Mayan presidential political campaign now underway, there will be commentary on the candidates, the issues, and the ridiculousness that politics seems to bring out in the people we are considering for the job of leader of the free world. Hopefully I can insert a little levity into the discussion (clearly we're going to need it), but even though I may use humor I will still be deadly serious. Except, of course, when I'm not.
Oh, and yes you can call this site PGH if you are so enthralled with the mind-blowing commentary that you want to jump right in instead of typing out the whole title, or simply can't figure out what Political Gum Hockey means.
Let the politics begin.

It was picked by a panel of industry experts including Cerys Matthews, Justin Webb, Adrian Chiles, Caroline Wyatt, Sara Cox, Gillian Reynolds, Petroc Trelawny, Shaun Keaveny and Sue MacGregor.
Desert Island Discs has been broadcast since 1942, and is currently presented by Lauren Laverne.
The UK's longest running radio drama, Radio 4's The Archers, which has been detailing the ups and downs of Ambridge life since 1951, came second in the list.
Legendary radio comedy Round The Horne (1965-8), which featured Kenneth Horne in the lead role, alongside Kenneth Williams, Betty Mardsen and Hugh Paddick, was third.
Tony Hancock's classic Hancock's Half Hour (1954-9) was fourth in the list and Radio 4's In The Psychiatrist's Chair (1982-2001) was fifth.
Wake Up to Wogan, which ran for over 25 years until 2009, was the highest placed, and only, Radio 2 programme on the list in 12th position, just pipping John Peel's influential Radio 1 programme (1967-2004) into 13th place.
Desert Island Discs producer Cathy Drysdale said: "It's certainly wonderful for the programme.
"It's an absolutely genius format.
"The format makes sure that each programme gets to the heart of people, what moves them and motivates them, what inspires them and enthuses them, who and what they care about.
"Those are all such incredibly human things that are applicable to absolutely everybody listening."
Radio Times editor Mark Frith said: "With listener figures at over one billion hours a week, the UK's love of radio shows no sign of abating, and this poll illustrates how memorable and timeless great radio can be.
"Many of the programmes have been broadcast for many years, if not decades, and have become the fabric of our lives, and others, are iconic classics which continue to inspire broadcasters of today.
"Desert Island Discs is a deserved winner, with a back catalogue which reflects our cultural history and still remains as relevant, entertaining and insightful as it ever was."
The full top 30 programmes is revealed in the new issue of Radio Times, with almost a third of the top programme being comedies or panel shows, many of which went on to become television programmes.
This week's Radio Times is out on Tuesday.

After the last award was handed out in The Beverly Hilton hotel's ballroom at Sunday night's 70th annual Golden Globes, showgoers joined the rest of the Hollywood masses at the usual cavalcade of parties unfolding about the hotel's other corners.
This story first appeared in the January 15, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
On the hotel's rooftoop, NBC/Universal's after party proved to be schmooze central for the "Les Misérables" cast and crew. Best supporting actress winner Anne Hathaway led a pack that included Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne and Sacha Baron Cohen with wife Isla Fisher. Despite their big win for Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy, the group proved to be all sung out and surprisingly press-shy, save Globe winner Hugh Jackman.
RELATED CONTENT: On the Red Carpet at the Golden Globes >>
Following a round of backstage interviews, the actor eventually joined his cast mates at their reserved table. Many a gawker planted themselves nearby attempting to snap cell phone photos, but the winners kept to themselves, enjoying their own private party. Rapper 50 Cent was in attendance, as was Lana Del Ray, who chatted with "Les Mis" director Tom Hooper for at least five minutes (the equivalent of an in-depth conversation at a Hollywood party). Eventually, the focus shifted to best dramatic actress winner Jessica Chastain as she swept through the door. Jackman acted as head of the welcoming committee, greeting the actress with a huge hug. Ewan McGregor also stopped the "Zero Dark Thirty" star for a congratulatory kiss on the cheek.
Julianne Moore and Lena Dunham both won big for HBO at the Golden Globes and turned out at the cable channel's after party at the hotel's Circa 55 restaurant. When Dunham entered the party, Sally Field stopped her and gushed to the "Girls" writer, director and actress, "You don't know how much power you have." Dunham returned, "It's so amazing to meet you," and offered Field a pink rose from a bouquet she was holding. "Just put it between your breasts or something," Dunham suggested.
Covered in black-and-white graphics, the party had an Art Deco-esque throwback vibe, but inside-outside could very well have been the theme. Although a few brave souls stayed outdoors as temperatures dipped, the indoor half of the soiree was crammed by the likes of Moore, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Seth MacFarlane and Steve Buscemi.
Olivia Munn shrouded her shoulders in a pink scarf to ward off the chill, and Jane Fonda threw on a velvet coat as a beer-toting Robert Pattinson glided by. Moore's "Game Change" cast mate Sarah Paulson, wearing a Reem Acra dress she called "a backless Black Swan without the wings," took at least one thing off for the party: her Christian Louboutin shoes. "It's like 17 f–king inches," she said, referring to the heels. Hayden Panettiere kept her footwear on and advised another partygoer to do the same. "If you take them off, your feet are going to swell. The blood is going to rush to your feet," she instructed.
An elite crowd flew past the masses gathered outside and inside en route to The Weinstein Co. after party. Sponsored by Marie Claire, Chopard and Laura Mercier, the bash drew nearly every A-lister who attended the show, and then some. Inside a dimly lit ballroom, P. Diddy boogied down while quipping, "I got no nominations, and no Golden Globe for me, but this is great!" Also letting loose and kicking back on comfy white sofas were Del Rey, Pattinson, Jessica Alba, Jodie Foster, Kobe Bryant, Paul Rudd and Jennifer Lopez.
Keeping a low profile, Leonardo DiCaprio enjoyed cocktails as he was joined by fellow nominees at the soiree including Sienna Miller, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams and Bill Murray, who rocked out to "Forget You" by Cee Lo Green on the dance floor.
Always considered party central at the Beverly Hilton on Globes night, the InStyle-Warner Bros. party saw a steady stream of A-listers all night. Even Mr. Smooth — George Clooney — was overwhelmed by the crush inside the giant tent, attempting to take a shortcut through the catering hallway before giving up and returning to schmooze for a few minutes. Summing up what most people thought of the telecast, cohostess Amy Poehler told Kristen Wiig on her way inside, "Oh. My. God. Your bit was hilarious. I was laughing so f–king hard."
Others didn't even bother heading into the tent, as the Godiva-sponsored lounge just outside offered plenty of sweet distractions like hand-passed chocolate-covered strawberries. "Don't get that on your dress, honey," Rosario Dawson's manager admonished as the actress bit into one. Alba, free from her Oscar de la Renta train and into a knee-length Louis Vuitton checkered dress, posed for photos in front of a wall made entirely of chocolate. Naomi Watts echoed Alba's sentiment earlier when she said, "The train is a nightmare. For me, and everyone." Also pausing by the chocolate wall was Foster, with sons Charles and Kit in tow, both of whom took turns holding her Lifetime Achievement award. "This is pretty cool," grinned Charles, who stands a few inches taller than his mother.

Why choose a Muay Thai camp in Rayong?
Thailand is one of the most popular touristic destination in the world. Enviable climate, delicious food and friendly people attract every year almost 30 million travellers. Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket are the most famous place to visit….so why choose the "unknown" Rayong province as your destination? Read here 10 reasons to choose Rayong.
1) Rayong is 'real' Thailand, while Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket, as very popular, are very crowded too. They look like Western cities and they have lost part of their genuineness.
2) A rural area like Chak Pong (Rayong province), instead, where 7 Muay Thai is placed, is ideal to find a quiet environment, absorbed in an untouched Thailand, sheltered from mass tourism.
3) The sea that brings true wellness and health. No wonder if the beach of this area is one of the favorite by wealthy Thai people from Bangkok that know their country well.
4) Quiet place with interesting activities to do: close from here there are many small islands as well as Koh Samet. You have the chance to do some boat trips or scuba diving.
5) Plenty of Thai traditional restaurants around here, however just a few minutes walking from 7MuayThai there is an excellent restaurant which offers premier quality Italian food, with nothing to envy to the best restaurants of the big touristic destinations.
6) Very low prices. In Chak Pong area you can eat with about 100 baht a meal, while in Pattaya and Samui you would spend 250 baht and in Bangkok and Phuket 400/500 baht.
7) Quality of fruit, vegetable and seafood incomparable compared to those you can find in touristic cities.
8) Cambodia border is just a couple of hours by car from 7MuayThai: you have the opportunity to extend your visa easily and take the chance to visit another Country, another culture.
9) If you miss city lights, you are searching for noise and smiles from national beauties and much more, Pattaya is just one hour away by car.
10) No need to book an expensive and tiring domestic flight. This little paradise is easily reachable from Bangkok airport by bus or taxi, at cheap prices, in about 2 hours an a half hours.

I think it was pretty good planning on the part of those ancient calendar makers to have the new year begin in the dead of winter. From this aspect, everything seems possible. Plans can be made, changes implemented, wrongs can be set right. The new year brings endless possibilities in life – and in the garden.
My friends at Iseli Nursery created a printed, limited edition, 2012 calendar for their current wholesale customers. They have also made available to the rest of us, a beautiful PDF version of that calendar, which is available to download from their website. I'm happy that I hadn't already purchased a calendar for the new year, because I printed this one out, taped it together at home, and it looks great!
My hope for the new year is that more and more folks will begin to use my favorite dwarf, miniature (and full-size) conifers in their garden projects. Seriously, how else can you fill a garden with such a diverse pallet of year-round color, structure, texture and wildlife habitat?
See you next year!

Matter is coupled vibration
All plants and living beings, and so too our bodies, are, in nature, surrounded by various, wave-formed vibrations. From the Earth's magnetic field via electrical and magnetic frequencies.
Bioresonance is our bodies' way of communicating with our environment, via our cellular components. And the more harmonious the resonance, the more vitally the body reacts and evolves.
The frequency of your cells determines your life.
Your vibration is directly responsible for your body.
Matter is coupled vibration
How does bioresonance harmonise interference frequencies?
Electromagnetic fields which have been produced by human technology (electricity) do not correspond with nature. From the resulting leakage fields, frequencies emerge which are disruptive for people, animals and food.
However, a life without electromagnetic fields is no longer possible. On the contrary, in the future there will exist in even greater numbers. The frequency of these fields (measured in hertz) has grown by a factor of around 500 million in the last 30 years alone.
From around 50 hertz in the 1980s to around 2.5 billion hertz (cycles per second) today. And the development continues to grow on a vast scale.
How can we help ourselves?
What chance do we have, if we are not able to escape
the negative electromagnetic fields?
Alongside numerous other researchers and scientists, we at i-like also came to the following realisation:
Electromagnetic fields themselves are not the real problem, rather it is their vibrations, which are not in harmony with our body. Consequently these fields emit frequencies dissonant to our own vibration with respect to our environment, which counteracts bioresonance.
In other words, our natural vibration is disturbed by this unnatural vibration. And if you consider, that every cell in your body communicates with our environment through vibrations, i.e. is bioresonant, then one can imagine how they are affected by this unnatural frequency.
But what if these negative electromagnetic frequencies could be transformed, so that they were once more in harmony with our body?
We have summarised the solution in the following word:
This means that, by means of a Converter, we transform negative vibrations into positive, bringing them into harmony with a natural organism, vitalising vibrations and therefore supporting its own bioresonance.
The difficulty now lay in bringing this idea to life and in developing a Converter, which could be calibrated and adapted as a vibrations receiver for various different vibrations.
Around 25 years of development, research and application experience now flows into the successful i-like Meta-Converter and numerous i-like Vital products.

Magnitude-7.3 quake hits near Papua New Guinea
SYDNEY (AP) — A powerful earthquake has struck off the South Pacific nation of Papua New Guinea. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-7.3 earthquake was located 38 miles southwest of the town of Panguna on Bougainville Island. It struck at a depth of 31 miles.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no threat of a destructive widespread tsunami. But the agency said quakes of this size can sometimes generate local tsunamis that can be destructive to coasts within a few hundred kilometers of the epicenter.
Earthquakes are common in Papua New Guinea. The country lies on the "Ring of Fire" — an arc of earthquake and volcanic activity that stretches around the Pacific Rim.

Metal Leaf With Stamps
Viewer Comments
I would like to use the lovely Ella Bella stamp with the Metal Leaf. Must I use the Scoochy Foam or can I just use a stippling brush to remove the metal leaf? Thank you very much for your assistance.
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
The Scoochy Foam is what we know works. We have not tried it with the stipple brush.
Beautiful! I just saw the second webisode before this one. Leave it to me to see them backwards! Learned alot from both! Definitely want to try it.
Will the Flitter glue be harmful to my acrylic stamps?
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
No, it is a water soluble product. However, our Design team suggests washing the stamp immediately or placing it in a bowl of water until you can get away to clean it. If the glue dries, just sponge it off with a little rubbing alcohol.
When is the second weisode?
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
The second webisode featuring Metal Leaf airs tonight! And don't forget we have a week of webisodes for you starting Monday, April 28!
Can you use other glue than the Flitter Glu?
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
We found that FlitterGlu was the best adhesive for holding the Metal Leaf.
I love this look... I remember Gold Leaf from days in the past. How do you clean the flutter glue from the stamp?
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
FlitterGlu is water soluble and washes off easily with warm water and mild soap. However, if the glue dries, you can use a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a sponge to clean off the glue. It's best to wash the stamp before it dries.
Hi Paulette & Gail! I'm so disappointed I can see this episode!!! I can only watch your webisodes using my iPad because my computer died and your format won't play correctly on my iPad unless I view it through YouTube and it hasn't been posted there. :-( I bet it's another one packed with wonderful,ideas.
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
I'm sorry you're having trouble viewing our webisodes. As you said, they are available on YouTube and I have our Tech team looking into the ipad issue. Thank you for letting us know.
I LOVED this webisode, I'm so happy I already purchased everything you used, last week. Do we have to wait until next Wednesday for Part 2? Why are Wednesdays taking so long to get here LOL When will be the next Week of Webisodes? I love them but my bank acct doesn't, LOL
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
The second webisode will air tonight! The Week of Webisodes begins Monday, April 28. Lots to look forward too!!
Can you use spectrum noir pens on the silver sheets?
Thank you for these webisodes!
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
We don't recommend it! The Metal Leaf is very fragile and there's the possibility it may stick to your pens.
Gold leaf and stamping, I never thought to try this. Does the versa mark work or any other glue? Can glue be thinned; and how do you then clean the stamps - as usual? and two webisodes this week, I CAN NOT WAIT!!! Thank you!
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
We found that the FlitterGlu is the only one that was sticky enough to hold the Metal Leaf. We don't recommend watering it down because you need the sticky surface to hold the Metal Leaf to your chosen surface.
I am looking forward to the 2nd webisode, thanks!
I love that heart stamp, today's projects are beautiful. Take care...
I have never tried metal leaf,but this is very interesting. It really sets the card off.
I just LOVE Wednesdays, to get my craft class from Paper Wishes! I love all of your new items, my problem is what to put in my cart, without making it too expensive!! I want so many things!!
You said to save all the little pieces that you scrape off. Are you going to show how you end up using them. Love this look.
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
Actually you simply pour them back onto a project and tab them in place and brush the excess off.
I was just thinking about how to use metal leaf with paper. And, voila! Paper Wishes saves the day. This is such a beautiful effect. Thank you for bringing it to us. I must also give Paper Wishes/HOTP kudos for your rubber stamps. I had read they were considered one of the best on the market so I had to try them. They are spectacular - to say the least. The image is so clear it looks almost printed. The backing keeps it adhesive quality. I've since bought 3 more sets and they have become my "go to" stamps.

Blinding is compromised for transcranial direct current stimulation at 1 mA for 20 min in young healthy adults
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-19)
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non‐invasive brain stimulation method that is frequently used to study cortical excitability changes and their impact on cognitive functions in humans. While most stimulators are capable of operating in double‐blind mode, the amount of discomfort experienced during tDCS may break blinding. Therefore, specifically designed sham stimulation protocols ...

WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden said he was "literally" within earshot of the tragic 2006 Amish school shooting in Nickel Mines, estimating he was about a quarter of a mile away from the school at a golf outing on that warm October morning.
Biden, a native of Scranton, made the remarks at the U.S. Conference of Mayors last week during a speech about gun violence to illustrate his point that such tragedies can happen anywhere. But Lancaster Newspapers reported Wednesday that the nearest golf courses are six and 10 miles away. And the Washington Times spoke to an employee at the closest course, who said there is no record of Biden being there that day.
"It was pure coincidence. I happened to be literally, probably it turned out to be a quarter of a mile, back in 2006, at an outing when I heard gun shots in the woods that we didn't know where -- we thought there were hunters," Biden said, according to a transcript of the speech. "As I got back to the clubhouse in this outing and saw helicopters, it was a shooting that had just taken place in a small, Amish school just outside of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. So it's not just big cities or well-to-do suburbs. It could happen anywhere."
For those who may not remember the event that shook the very core of the Lancaster County community more than six years ago, a local man with a young family of his own, walked into the Nickel Mines one-room schoolhouse, let the little boys and adults free, and opened fire on 10 little girls, killing five and wounding the others. The small school, now razed, sat on an open field on a quiet street with Amish farms and modest non-Amish homes sharing the neighborhood.
While it may be nearly impossible to prove the veracity of Biden's recollection, his spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff told Lancaster Newspapers, without offering specifics, that Biden, then a U.S. Senator in neighboring Delaware, was in the area that day golfing.
We have a call into Barkoff and will update the post if we receive a response.
