Officer Bradway's widow meets woman he saved
In an instant last September, an act of violence killed two men - one of them Indianapolis Metro Police Ofc. Rod Bradway.
What no one knew until now is that it also connected two women - his widow, Jamie, and the young woman he died while saving. Both women have spent the past five months in fragile shape, recovering from trauma, grief and loss.
Jamie Bradway, Rod's widow, is the mother of two teenagers, Sierra and Jonathan. The woman Bradway saved is a mother as well, to a 15-month-old baby. How the two mothers came together to support one another is a story of courage and connection in a time of darkness.
At least twice a month, Jamie Bradway drives to the spot at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis that she considers hallowed ground - the "Heroes of Public Safety" section. It has been a winter of grief for Jamie, who bends down and brushes the snow off the granite stone that bears the likeness of her husband of nearly 17 years, Rod.
"You're all covered up, baby," she said to no one in particular, her breath visible in the air, as she wipes several inches of snow off the stone and retrieves mementos left there by well-wishers.
"They leave coins, flowers, wreaths, and teddy bears. I even found a public service medal on the grave," Jamie said.
In the five months since Rod died, the season has changed, but in many ways, Jamie's life stands still. Her grief feels like a weight around her neck.
She speaks to Rod at the grave site.
"I miss you so much," Jamie said, stifling a sob. "I miss you , baby."
The pet dogs they "rescued" sleep on her bed each evening , but her nights are largely sleepless. Every morning at 2:00, she is wide awake. That is the hour that her life changed in an instant on September 20, 2013.
When Rod Bradway, a former firefighter, left for his night shift that evening, it was like any other night, with one exception.
"The only difference was he gave me two kisses instead of one," Jamie recalls. "He gave me a really beautiful smile, one of his gorgeous smiles, then leaned down and gave me another kiss, said 'I love you' and left."
At 2:00 in the morning, the call came in of an armed man holding his ex-girlfriend and her baby hostage at gunpoint at the Eagle Pointe apartment complex.
Rod Bradway was first on the scene. Normally, he would wait for his backup to arrive on a domestic call, but he heard screaming coming from behind the door and kicked it down, a moment etched in the victim's memory.
We have agreed to protect her name and identity.
"When he kicked down that door, he was just like Superman to me," she recalls.
But her relief turned to horror. The armed man holding her hostage, Steven Byrdo, began firing in what Indianapolis police would later call an "ambush" of Officer Bradway.
Bradway's Kevlar vest deflected some shots, but a fatal shot entered his body in his side, where the vest did not cover. Officer Bradway fired several shots back at Byrdo as his backup arrived. Byrdo died in the volley of gunfire that followed.
Jamie Bradway was numb when she got the news her husband was dead.
"The worst part was when the chaplain handed me his ring and his necklace - his medal of St Michael, the protector of police officers," Jamie said. "That's when I knew it was really true."
The funeral was attended by police officers from across the state and the nation.
It was also attended by the woman whose life Officer Bradway saved.
"You could tell from the news coverage he was just a kind man. A good man," she said. "I was nervous, but I made up my mind I needed to go pay my respects for this man."
At the funeral, she gingerly approached Jamie Bradway and gave her condolences.
"Oh gosh, I had hoped she would come," Jamie recalls. "It meant so much. I wanted to hug her. I wanted to know she was okay."
They did embrace and that could have been the end of it - a one-time connection between Jamie and the woman who owed her life to Jamie's husband.
But instead, it was the beginning.
In January, Jamie initiated a phone call to the woman and they talked for nearly two hours. They agreed to meet at a neutral site and at a farmhouse in Brownsburg, they came together again, this time to pore over photographs, mementos and memories of Officer Bradway.
"The red one is his medal of bravery. The yellow gold is his medal of honor. The purple is his purple heart," Jamie explained as she unveiled a shadow box of her husband's medals of honor.
Personal family photographs taken five months before he died were shown, including a favorite that hangs in Jamie's bedroom of Rod with his arms around her.
"He would just walk up behind me and put his arms around me like that," she said, tears in her eyes.
Theirs was a big love.
"It was very deep. We did everything together. And Rod was such a devoted father. He worked the night shift so he would be there in the morning when Sierra and Jonathan went to school."
The women embraced several times upon meeting each other again.
"She holds a lot of guilt because of what happened and I told her she has to let that go," Jamie said. "Rod had a job to do and it wasn't because of her that he died."
"It is comforting to hear that from his family," the victim said. "Every day I think about them, wondering how they are coming to their own sort of peace and normalcy and just how they are doing. I at least want to ensure Jamie knows how grateful I truly am. Anything I can do to show her that, I will do."
Jamie wears a favorite photo of Rod in a locket around her neck. The victim took the brochure from the funeral and framed the picture of Rod. She keeps it on her mantle so she can see it every day.
Jamie, deeply touched by the gesture, replaced it with a real 3x5 photo of Rod in his uniform. Additionally, the Bradway family gave the victim an angel Rod kept in his squad car.
"I carry it in my purse, so he is with me all the time," she said.
Though her baby is too young to remember what happened during the night of violence, she has resolved she will someday tell her.
"When I look at her I know that I have to tell her. It took everything within me to be as strong as I was that night. I will tell her that there are truly good-hearted people in this world and this man cared enough to be there and help Mommy," the victim said.
For now, two women joined by an instant of violence help one another through a golden thread of connection.
Their grief, however, remains a solitary battle.
Jamie finds comfort in ritual - in walking to Rod's grave and talking to him there.
"I want everyone to know how grateful I am for their love and support through this tragedy," she said. "Because it has been my nightmare."

As if on cue, as she stands at the grave, a gust of wind blows a beautiful cascade of snow down upon her.
She bends down, kisses her fingers and touches them to her husband's stone.
"Goodbye, love."

Lahore, July 4 (IANS) Pakistan one-day captain Misbahul Haq and Twenty20 skipper Mohammad Hafeez have said they would take the responsibility for the team's showing on the forthcoming tour of the West Indies and that an effort would be made to inspire the players to succeed in both the formats of the game.
The teams for both the formats have been finalised on a performance-based formula, keeping the importance of the tour in mind, the two told reporters at the Gadaffi Stadium here Wednesday, reports the Daily Times.
The two senior pros accepted the responsibility for the team's poor showing in the Champions Trophy in England and attributed it to the failure of their batting top-order.
"There is no doubt that we acquitted poorly in the Champions Trophy and I accept the responsibility for it, and I will be doing so even on the tour of the West Indies," Misbah added.
He said the conditions in the West Indies should suit the Pakistani attack and the batsmen should demonstrate a higher level of skill and commitment to provide support for the bowlers.

THURSDAY, March 10 (HealthDay News) -- Among patients with depression and cardiac illness, managing depression during hospitalization improves mental health outcomes and may also improve medical outcomes after intervention, according to a study published online March 8 in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.
Jeff C. Huffman, M.D., of Harvard Medical School in Boston, and colleagues investigated the effects of a collaborative-care depression management program initiated during hospitalization. Patients with depression who were admitted for acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmia, or heart failure were randomized to a low-intensity, 12-week program (90 patients) or to usual care (85 patients). The patients' mental health and medical outcomes were evaluated at six weeks, 12 weeks, and six months.
The researchers found patients who received intervention had significantly greater improvements in mental health outcomes, including improvement of depressive symptoms, higher rates of depression response, lower scores for cognitive symptoms of depression, less anxiety, and improved mental health-related quality of life at six and 12 weeks compared to patients receiving usual care. The improvements waned, however, when the intervention ended. At six months, patients who had participated in the collaborative-care program had significantly fewer and less-intense cardiac symptoms, and greater self-reported adherence to medications.
"These results may represent a substantial first step in the systematic treatment of depression in hospitalized cardiac patients, a population for whom depression is independently associated with cardiac morbidity and mortality, and effective therapy remains greatly under-realized," the authors write.

Alison Carroll
Alison Carroll is recently famous for being named the new Lara Croft. She follows a long line of female celebs who have reigned as the video game heroine, among them Angelina Jolie, Rhona Mitra, Vanessa Demouy, and others. Before she scored the Lara Croft gig, Alison Carroll was a competitive gymnast and a receptionist in London. She might not be all that famous just yet, but there's no way this is the last we'll be hearing about her.
AppealAny chick who spends six days a week at the gym has gotta have a rockin' body. Pair that with martial arts training and the coveted title of "Lara Croft," one of the most popular video game heroines, and you can't help but fall for this British babe. Given her amazingly tight curves and pretty sassy moves, Alison Carroll deserves a fairly high sexiness rating.
SuccessWell, if you're a receptionist, we're guessing that becoming the new Lara Croft is a pretty successful feat. If you're a gymnast, then earning the role of a superhero is also quite the accomplishment. In the grander scheme of things, Alison Carroll becoming the new Lara Croft is, well, pretty cool. If she'd also played Catwoman in Batman and Storm in X-Men, then we'd really rank her highly for successfully playing hot, fictitious, ass-kicking heroines. However, so far she's just Lara Croft, and for that, we give her a 42.
Alison Carroll BiographyAlison Carroll was born in 1985 and first joined gymnastics at 7 years old with aspirations of becoming a PE teacher when she grew up. At 12 years old, she started training with the Shirley Gymnastics Club, and she went on to attend Edenham High. It was then that she started as a professional display gymnast.
After high school Alison Carroll became a certified Club Coach in Tumbling, Sports Acrobatics and General Gymnastics. She also started coaching younger gymnasts, and at the British National Championships, she choreographed the winning routine for the junior team.
Alison Carroll continued to participate as a performing gymnast in annual gymnastic display events, taking part in demonstrations at the Edinburgh Festival, Inverness Festival, Liverpool British Championships, Cardiff Festival, London Festival, Birmingham Ministrada, and Portugal World Ministrada (representing Great Britain).
alison carroll is the new lara croftWhile working as a receptionist at a London-based golf club as well as teaching at Shirley Gymnastics Club, Alison Carroll attended a casting audition for the part of Lara Croft. She competed against hundreds of other girls in front of a panel of judges, showing off her acrobatic and gymnastic moves. She later found out she got the role but wasn't allowed to tell anyone. The official announcement that Alison Carroll was the new Lara Croft came on August 11, 2008, when she started promoting the game Tomb Raider: Underworld, which will be released in November '08. In order to fulfill her duties as a heroine, she immediately began taking a series of courses that included SAS survival, combat and semi-automatic weapon firing courses in Eastern Europe, and a crash course in world archeology. Her promotional work will continue with travels to South Africa, Germany, Dubai, and Singapore.

Accessibility/News/2010/05/24/AT-SPI2 release 0.3.2
AT-SPI2 0.3.2 Released
release date: 2010-05-24
What is AT-SPI2
AT-SPI2 is a D-Bus based accessibility framework. It defines a D-Bus protocol for providing and accessing application accessibility information. The project includes a library for bridging the D-Bus protocol to the ATK API, allowing Gtk based applications to be made accessible. It also contains a client (AT) side library in Python.
AT-SPI2 0.3.2 is now available for download at:
- http://download.gnome.org/sources/pyatspi/0.3/
- http://download.gnome.org/sources/at-spi2-core/0.3/
- http://download.gnome.org/sources/at-spi2-atk/0.3/
AT-SPI2 0.3.2 Release Notes
This is a development release of AT-SPI2, it has some unfinished features.
A list of work required before the full release can be found at:
This release fixes numerous bugs and should generally be much more usable than prior releases.
What's changed in AT-SPI2 0.3.2
pyatspi Changes
- Remove double deletion of application from the desktop cache handler. Was causing a mostly harmless exception when an application shut down.
- Role changes now update the cache.
- Avoid throwing an exception in getState() if an object no longer exists. This avoids potentially throwing an eception where at-spi-corba may not.
- Do not use the cache if registry.start() has not been called; allows simple scripts without a main loop to work better. Disable relocation by default.
core changes
- Make sure that disconnecting applications send their root path in the remove applications signal. This was causing applications to not be removed from the desktop properly.
Atk Changes
- Some hyperlink fixes.
- Cache additions are now done in an idle call. This prevents additions from being made when an object may not be fully initialized and prevents Firefox 3.6 from crashing.
- The cache object has been placed into the
org.a11y.atspinamespace. Disabled relocation by default.
Where can I get more information about AT-SPI2?
The AT-SPI project wiki is available at:
A page of work required before a full release and the project plan can be found at: http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/BonoboDeprecation
How can I contribute to AT-SPI2?
We are actively seeking contributors to help us make this the standard accessibility framework for Gnome. We need help testing with Gnome accessibility technologies, improving performance, and generally tying up loose ends. The above-referenced page contains a list of known issues that should be fixed.
To participate in AT-SPI2 developement, you can:
- join the firstname.lastname@example.com emailing list

Tax Competition and Trade Protection
This paper reconsiders the question of whether tax competition for mobile capital leads to tax rates on capital that are too low or too high from the combined viewpoint of the competing regions (or countries in an economic union). In contrast to standard models of tax competition, both commodity trade and capital mobility is allowed to occur between the competing regions and the rest of the world. A key result of the analysis is that whether the capital taxes are too low or high depends on the degree of external trade protection.

iptables-restore not working with SELinux
I'm trying to use iptables-restore to load an iptables firewall configuration. I have SELinux enabled in enforcing mode. Every time I try to do this, I get a denial from SELinux, and an entry like this in the SELinux troubleshooter:
Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:iptables_t:s0-s0:c0.c102
If you modified the iptables initscript then please change it back to defaults and use the default file location. If you need to change /etc/sysconfig/iptables for testing purposes you can use Sudo ('man sudoers') and say a script:
#!/bin/sh --
If you do not care for any of that then you can run the AVC message through 'audit2allow' and add th result to your local SELinux policy. I hope that from what I explained that you understand why that is not a best practice and not a workaround anyone should be willing to support or use.
I haven't changed anything, especially not the iptables initscript. What I'm trying to do is load a firewall configuration from a file, which happens to reside in my home directory. Reading the man page, iptables-restore should allow me to do that - it always has in the past. It shouldn't matter where the file resides.
What is the correct "selinux-approved" way of running iptables-restore?

FN FNS .40sw
I put an FN FNS .40sw on layaway at the LGS. Any thoughts or opinions on the pistol?
Anything from fn is awesome in my book. I own the fnx 45 and I love it. Favorite pistol by far.
I just picked up an FNP-45 Competition. Too soon to truly comment intelligently but it seems a most impressive handgun. I'm a long time 1911 shooter who wanted a modern service type pistol that offered greater capacity. Bloody ugly devil but it sure shoots like a dream.
Still can't believe I bought a plastic pistol and dropped a grand doing so! :eek: :D

RATIONALE: Studying proteins in head and neck cancer cells in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.
PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at proteins in head and neck cancer cells.
|Head and Neck Cancer
|Genetic: Southern blotting Genetic: TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling assay Genetic: gene expression analysis Genetic: protein expression analysis Other: flow cytometry Other: fluorescent antibody technique Other: immunoenzyme technique Other: immunohistochemistry staining method Other: immunologic technique
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Novel Protein Regulator of Tumor Suppressor ARF & NF-κB
- Function and mechanism of LZAP in regulating ARF
- Mechanism and biological consequences of LZAP inhibition of NF-κB
- Determination of LZAP tumor suppressor activity
|Study Start Date:
|May 2005
- Define the function and mechanism of LZAP in regulating ARF.
- Determine the mechanism and biological consequences of LZAP inhibition of NF-κB.
- Determine if LZAP has tumor suppressor activity by conditional targeting of LZAP in mice.
OUTLINE: Using molecular laboratory techniques, this study examines the biochemical mechanisms by which LZAP activates transcriptional, tumor suppressive activity (both p53-dependent and p53-independent) of ARF and inhibits transcriptional, tumorigenic activity of NF-kB. LZAP regulation of newly identified ARF activities, such as S-phase delay and ARF-mediated B23 degradation are also evaluated. LZAP's tumor suppressive activity is assessed in vivo using a conditional knockout vector to target LZAP in mice and to observe for spontaneous and induced tumor formation. Laboratory analyses used to determine study endpoints include standard recombinant DNA, recombinant protein expression and purification, cell culture and transfection, cell labeling, reporter assays, flow cytometry, yeast-two hybrid, immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, TUNEL assay, ELISA assay, Southern blotting, and protein and gene expression.

The Salafi Nour Party has announced its participation in Tuesday's mass demonstration in support of President Mohamed Morsy and the constitutional referendum.
The protest is planned to take place in front of the Rabaa al-Adaweya and Al-Rashdan mosques in Nasr City.
Muslim Brotherhood spokesperson Mahmoud Ghozlan told state-run Al-Ahram that participants in the protest had been instructed not to stage sit-ins or to head towards the presidential palace so as to avoid clashes with other protesters. The participants were also instructed to end the demonstration by 10 pm.
On Monday party spokesperson Yousry Hammad denied the party had said it would not join the demonstration.
Nour Party Secretary General Galal Morra said the party had initially declined to participate as its leaders were preoccupied with the "Yes to the Constitution" campaign in the governorates.
"The campaign attempts to convince citizens to back the constitution to rebuild the state institutions and support development," he said.
A number of Islamist forces, led by the Muslim Brotherhood and the Freedom and Justice Party, have announced participation in Tuesday's demonstration.

|Wait to go, guys! The first encounter I had with this problem was back in 2010, with my friend Jake Novotny. After scrubbing the holds one afternoon, we started the problem down and left of the bump-rails, with our left hand on that sharp pocket thingy. From there, we climbed straight up in to the "bump" moves. Beginning on Dancing Outlaw looks better. At the time, we thought the top was pretty hard. We suggested a potential grade of V9 (we never did it) back then, and it looks like we may have been right.

|This is fricking awesome. I tried this a bunch when we first developed this boulder and was far too weak to get enough lift to get over the lip. I thought that move seemed really hard. Good name too. Well done!

I remember trying this a few years back as well, but never got psyched enough (or strong enough) to finish. I had always assumed that Andy or someone else had already done it. Well, I'm stoked that it finally got done! Looking forward to a visit in the near future to give it a whirl.
Just to perpetuate the silliness, has anyone considered starting as for smooth criminal and traversing into this?

Goshdarnit. Unbelievable problem. I tried it sporadically over the last couple of years, but I finally dedicated a couple of sessions this season, and finished it off. Good, brutal fight. I actually set up a "bump-machine" on my home wall to train for the consecutive lefthand bumps. It worked. Totally nerdy.
If you're stranded on a desert island, and you only have this problem to do for the rest of eternity, then you're in luck. Good job Tim and Logan!

Illinois FLW pro Chad Morgenthaler has partnered with EPCO Products Inc., maker of the Snapper Remote Control Boat Latch.
"It's a really cool addition to all kinds of boats, but especially bass boats," he said. "As someone who has left a boat on the ramp before, believe me, the Snapper captures your boat and locks it on in wind, current, any conditions you can encounter. It doesn't matter if the ramp is deep or shallow, the Snapper will get the job done and it's a lot cheaper than fiberglass work."
The Snapper is easy to install and operate – a simple push of the button on a remote-control key fob is all it takes for the device to release or capture the boat. That'll make any angler quicker off the ramp and faster to the fish, even when launching alone.
"We're happy to have Chad on the team," Said EPCO sales manager Dwight Creger. "He's worked diligently with us to design a pivot plate that will hold the Snapper Boat Latch in the correct position every time."

In music, appassionato means to play with passion, a piacere tells the performer to play at their pleasure, and forza means to play with force. I bring you this lesson in Italian music terminology to announce that EMI Music Canada will be releasing Fifty Shades of Grey — The Classical Album.
The 15-track album features classical music selected by author E L James herself. It will be available digitally in North America on Aug. 21 and Sept. 18 on CD. The album will be released internationally in both formats on Sept. 17.
"I am thrilled that the classical pieces that inspired me while I wrote the Fifty Shades Trilogy are being brought together in one collection for all lovers of the books to enjoy," James said in a statement.
The trilogy's references to classical music have spurred sales internationally. Spem in Alium, a 16th century motet by Thomas Tallis mention by James in Fifty Shades, has jumped to the top of U.K. classical charts.
The album will also include the Flower Duet from Lakmé, Pachelbel's Canon in D, and the aria from Bach's Goldberg Variations.
"We are delighted to be partnering with E L James and Random House on this project," VP of EMI Classics Wendy Ong said in a statement. "The Fifty Shades books are a bona fide cultural phenomenon, and they offer an exciting new way to present this timeless music to audiences who might not otherwise be exposed to it."
At long last, Bach and BDSM.

Unlucky 'Number' for Jim Carrey
by Scott Mantz
?The Number 23?
Starring: Jim Carrey, Virginia Madsen
Directed by: Joel Schumacher
The good news for Jim Carrey fans is that after staying out of the public eye for more than a year (since the release of 2005's "Fun with Dick and Jane"), Carrey is back with his funniest comedy in years. The bad news is that it's supposed to be a psychological thriller.
"The Number 23" is more than just a colossal misfire. It's Jim Carrey's "Battlefield Earth" — a mind-boggling disaster that easily fits the bill as his worst starring vehicle, which could explain why it's being released in theaters during the studio dumping ground of February (the 23rd, to be exact).
That's a mighty big fall for Carrey, who for years has been widely regarded as one of the biggest and most bankable actors in Hollywood. That's largely due to his over-the-top, rubber-faced antics in box office-busting comedies like 1994's "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," 1997's "Liar Liar" and 2003's "Bruce Almighty."
But moviegoers had a tougher time embracing Carrey's more dramatic side in films like 1999's "Man on the Moon" and 2001's "The Majestic." That said, his impressive turn in 2004's critically acclaimed "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" did prove that he could be taken seriously when he wanted to be.
And he obviously wants to be, judging by his fiercely committed performance in "The Number 23." The problem is that the story, written by first-time screenwriter Fernley Phillips, is a mess, and not even an experienced genre director like Joel Schumacher (who previously worked with Carrey on 1995's "Batman Forever") can whip it into shape.
Carrey plays Walter Sparrow, a pet detective of sorts (he's a dog catcher) whose wife (Virginia Madsen) gives him an unusual birthday present: a book called "The Number 23." In it, a chilling murder mystery is played out that mirrors Walter's own life in strange and mysterious ways — all of which have to do with the dark power of the number 23. As Walter becomes more obsessed with the book, he vows to unlock its secrets before his paranoia threatens to tear his family apart.
The film starts off on a fascinating note, as many of history's biggest incidents are depicted as being directly related to the number 23. Among them, that cult leader Charles Manson was born on November 12 (11 + 12 = 23), and that the Mayans predicted the end of the world on December 23, 2012 (20 + 1 + 2 = 23).
Too bad that the movie wasn't 23 minutes long, since anything beyond that point doesn't make a lick of sense. Not only does Walter get consumed by the book way too fast to be believed, but the side-story depicted within it (which features a tattoo-covered Carrey and Virginia Madsen as his leather-clad dominatrix) makes it more far-fetched and incomprehensible than it already is.
No one can blame Carrey for wanting to stretch beyond his reliable brand of crowd-pleasers, but "The Number 23" was obviously the wrong project to do it with. That has less to do with him and more to do with a number of other factors, but maybe this means that he'll get back to doing what he does best: comedies. And that really would be good news for Carrey fans.

Every now & then I want to randomize a playlist in Spotify. There's always the Shuffle option, but sometimes it's nice to start a new playlist by just mixing it up & then moving a few things around. So, Until Spotify gives us a "Randomize" button, this'll have to do… A little bit of effort, but it works.
1. Create your playlist the old fashion way by adding the songs, albums, etc.
2. Select all of the songs, right click and select "Copy HTTP Link", then hit "Delete" to clear out the play list.
3. Go here,(http://textmechanic.com/Sort-Text-Lines.html) click inside the text box that says "Enter your text here…", hit CTRL-A and then CTRL-V. That should paste your Spotify playlist into the text box.
4. Hit the "Random" button a few times.
5. Click inside the same text box then hit CTRL-A followed by CTRL-C.
6. Go back to Spotify, make sure your now-empty playlist is selected, and hit CTRL-V.
7. Voila, randomized playlist.

I think it CAN happen if Dana really wanted it to happen because of the amount of money all parties could make out of it. In my opinion, Silva needs it more than Jones does because Jones has the Sonnen fight, Henderson, Gustaffson, Davis, Machida/Shogun rematches on the cards before an eventual move up to Heavyweight, so he has options. Silva does not really have the opponents in his weight class that Jones does. What real match up is exciting, will sell big PPVs and competitive at 185 with Silva? No one at the moment, Weidman is a promising fighter but we need to see more.
Joe Silva would not really play a huge part in this compared to Dana White, they would weigh the positives and negatives and it obviously will make money so therefore in that regard it does make sense. Anderson wants to solidify his legacy so it also makes sense.
Dana really wants that GSP v Silva fight though, and it's clearly evident that GSP does not want the fight but has indicated that he'll take the fight at 170 since he and his trainer have stated that Silva once made 168. Maybe they are using it as a bargaining chip just to make Silva come as far down as possible.
I am interested in either fight to be honest but it's clear to me why Silva wants the GSP fight and isn't too eager on the Jones fight. Dude said he and Jones were friends lol they met each other a handful of times most likely and exchanged a few words at most and that's it. Hes making it seem like they grew up together or something lol.
I def hear you with the cash cow, but lets say Silva loses to Jones which I think he won't. Then Silva retires because he's old and the new p4p guy Jones era really begins.
There will always be a superstar in the UFC, they might not be as deadly as Silva but hey who is?
UFC is still growing, well MMA for that matter. Who knows maybe one day someone will come and be greater than Silva,Jones, and GSP

Adam Kennedy will likely get the nod to start at quarterback again this week for the Aggies. Former starter Chuckie Keeton is still recovering from a neck injury suffered in Hawaii, but according to Andersen will be dressed and ready to play
MOSCOW, Idaho — Bend but don't break is a phrase that no defensive coach likes to hear. It is a backhanded compliment that means your defense allows the opposing team to move easily down the field, but stiffens in the red zone. Last week the Utah State defense held San Jose State to three field goals and a single touchdown when the Spartans got inside the 20. The Aggies' bending, but not breaking, turned out to be the difference in a one-point victory.
"That is a team on defense that has kind of made the hair on the back of my neck rise up," said Utah State head coach Gary Andersen. "But that's a little bit of who we are right now."
Utah State (4-5, 2-2) has bent as far as it can this season. After suffering painful losses week after week to begin the season, the Aggies have rebounded with back-to-back come-from-behind victories.To remain in the hunt for a postseason bowl, the Aggies will have to win at least two of their final three games. Those are the stakes for Utah State as they head to Idaho (2-8, 1-4) in search of their first three-game winning streak since 2001 and first five-win season since 2000.
"These two teams understand they are going to fight extremely hard against each other," said Andersen. "(Idaho head coach) Robb (Akey) is going to be ready. But most importantly, the kids from Idaho are going to be ready.
"They're going to play hard. They play hard every game. This will be a tremendous challenge for us. It's at their place, and we'll have to play really well to have an opportunity to win the game."
Adam Kennedy will likely get the nod to start at quarterback again this week for the Aggies. Former starter Chuckie Keeton is still recovering from a neck injury suffered in Hawaii, but according to Andersen will be dressed and ready to play. In one and a half games since taking over for Keeton, Kennedy is 29 of 39 throwing for 418 yards and four touchdowns.
"They (Adam Kennedy and Chuckie Keeton) are both great quarterbacks," said wide receiver Matt Austin. "I guess you can say that Adam has thrown the ball a little more because he is not as mobile but again they are both great quarterbacks. Adam has actually given us a chance. He is throwing it up, he is giving the receivers a chance in making some big plays for us.
"Not only for him, but for our offense and our team, our fans and everybody in Logan."
Defensively, Utah State will try and stop a Vandal offense that scored a combined 77 points in their last two meetings with the Aggies. If that fails to work, the Aggies will fall back on their red zone defense and try not to break.
"We just are playing harder in the red zone really. It's a want to. It's Xs and Os, but it is also a want to," said safety Alfred Bowden. "Coach Andersen always tells us 'you have got to bow up and answer the bell.' "
With their backs against the wall the Aggies have answered that bell and have three more games to keep their postseason dreams alive.
Utah State (4-5) at Idaho (2-8)

Last year more than 100 dogs and cats received free surgeries at the East Bay SPCA facility in Oakland. This year, veterinarians from San Ramon and Dublin (Dr. Leanne Taylor and Dr. Jim DeLano of Bishop Ranch Veterinary Center and Dr. Heidi Strand of the East Bay SPCA) will be working together to make this event possible.
During Spay Day USA's first 12 years, participants spayed or neutered an estimated 1,366,000 animals! When you consider that an unspayed cat can give birth to 18 kittens each year and an unspayed dog can give birth to 20 puppies each year, and that the average cost for shelters to handle each homeless animal is $176, it's clear that Spay Day USA participants have, potentially, prevented millions of surplus births and saved millions of taxpayer dollars.
Sadly, thousands of dogs and cats are euthanized every year in our local shelters, and nationwide the estimates range as high as 10 million dogs and cats euthanized in the United States annually. Yes, that means 10 million put to sleep last year, and again this year, and again next year, every year. It is really a number that is difficult to grasp.
Unless you have a purebred dog specifically intended for breeding, he or she should be neutered or spayed before they have a chance to reproduce. Dogs and cats enter puberty (yes, pets go through puberty just like their owners) when they are about 6 months old.
The spay or neuter surgery is an outpatient procedure, meaning a dog or cat comes in to the veterinary hospital for surgery and goes home a few hours later. The relative quickness and simplicity of the procedure, and the rapid recovery of most dogs and cats within a day or two, means there is no reason a healthy dog or cat, puppy or kitten, should not be spayed or neutered before they reach reproductive age.
This year on Spay Day USA in the Tri-Valley Area, the East Bay SPCA and Bishop Ranch Veterinary Center & Urgent Care will be partnering to perform 100 free spays and neuters at the SPCA's Oakland facility at 410 Hegenberger Road, Oakland, for qualifying residents of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Information on this event can be obtained on the East Bay SPCA's Web site at www.eastbayspca.org, or by calling (510) 639-PETS (639-7387) to schedule an appointment.
--Dr. Franklin Utchen, shown with his dog Tory, has been practicing veterinary medicine in the San Ramon Valley since 1989 and currently co-owns Bishop Ranch Veterinary Center & Urgent Care. For questions or comments e-mail email@example.com.

Internet Speeds Onboard the Statendam
I know many of you have heard me criticizing internet speed onboard ships many times in the past. I have been on cruises where it has literally taken forever to do the simplest functions using the satellite-based internet service onboard cruise ships of any line.
When I was on the Carnival Paradise last month, I only accessed the internet once, and that was not to "surf" the web, but rather to merely check personal email in a couple of boxes. I figured I would buy a relatively inexpensive 30 minute time plan. That should be more than enough time with some left over. Boy, was I wrong. I spent about 45 minutes just scanning emails in two separate boxes, responding to only one or two. I was pretty ticked off when I saw how much time that had taken.
Then I come onto the Statendam on September 20. About three days into the cruise, I needed to check email again so I decided to purchase a 250-minute plan. It took me all of maybe 15 minutes tops to check those same email addresses. That's not too bad considering ship's internet can't really be compared to the broadband speeds available on land. In fact, I even made it a point to mention my pleasure at the relatively fast internet speeds to a person I ran into on the aft Lido deck who was wearing an MTN tee-shirt (Maritime Telecommunications Network). He was overjoyed at my satisfaction with his company's services.
Throughout this voyage onboard the Statendam I have been very, very dependent upon shipboard internet service for a variety of functions, many of these web-based. I have had to post things to this CruiseMates thread, check email boxes, and even "FTP" photographs up to a CruiseMates photo gallery. Many of these functions are simply time-consuming by nature, and in every case I was pleasantly surprised at how little time they actually took. I fear that in the past, on other sailings such as my recent one onboard the Carnival Paradise, I would have gone broke just on internet minute purchases.
I don't know what improvements you've made, Holland America, but keep it up … and maybe I can ask you to tell your cohorts on Carnival what to do onboard the Paradise to speed things up there?

Hard Case begins in a back alley warehouse in East Oakland, CA, where Harding fights for money, and to keep his skills honed, coupled with the fact he likes it. Harding does odd jobs with the only guy he trusts implicitly, his handler and manager, Tommy Sands. They bodyguard, escort tourists around the Bay Area, and do bail bond, skip trace work for a lawyer named Tess Connagher.
Two events throw Harding's seamy life in the shadows out into the light. Strobert is ordered to enlist Tess Connagher's law firm to act as an intermediary with Harding in order to protect an outspoken Afghani woman whose family Harding protected long ago. The woman's father requested him, and the state department realizes they'll be off the hook if anything happens to Samira Karim while under Harding's care. Secondly, Harding fights a particularly brutal fight with a Russian mob backed fighter named Van Rankin who hates Harding. They'd had words.
The YouTube video of Harding's subsequent beat-down of Rankin goes viral along with many of his prior fights. When Rankin's Russian mobster backer, Alexi Fiialkov pushes for a rematch on the UFC circuit, CIA Agent Strobert sees infinite possibilities since the United Arab Emirates has part ownership in the UFC. Some matches would be taking place in Dubai, where the CIA knows targets of opportunity show up from time to time.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"If John dies at the end, there will be blood!"
Kevin Pierce really brought the characters to life, and hit all the right notes in menace and humor! Pretty cool!
John of course. Tess really got on my nerves sometimes, and she never stopped through all the other books. Can I bitch slap her?
The Dark Lord was awesome! I laughed so hard people were staring when I was in public! I also really loved Al, and The Cleaner, Director, Crewella, I'll call her whatever she wants!
It made me laugh, and made me cheer when the idiots were dealt with with extreme prejudice! Mr Deleo pulls no punches, and I really like that he hits so hard!
As stated before, if John dies at the end, there will be blood!! Keep them coming, hurry up I'm waiting!!!
"great easy read book"
John is a badass and a all American who rides for the brand. A fast read book.
"Episodic, but full of fun and action"
John Harding was fun - a hard guy, but not as morose a Reacher. He has friends and a team too. Like the Detachment with John Raine. Some of the episodes needed to be tied in better. But it was a great listen.
Barry Eisler's John Raine is similar, but Eisler has had more time to develop as a writer. On the other hand, Harding has more fight scenes.
Great narrator!
"Hard Hitting fun"
A great start to the series and yes i would return to listening to again. Can't wait to read more from the series.
Hard Case is a thrill ride and no exceptions to being nice and sugar coated if I had to compare it Lee Child comes to mind
Kevin pulled off each of the character very well and gives a great voice to John Harding
I didn't want to pause the story and when I would have to a was anxious to return to listening.
I recently purchased a big name authors James Patterson new book and was a bit board by the predictable characters and pace and stopped listening to jump into this book and glad that I did.

Can He Score? - 40,856 Views, 2 Likes, 1,319 Favorites
This week we have a new spin on Can He Score. We have Amia Miley, a very young and very new porn starlet. She's only 18-years-old, but Amia's already making moves in the industry. She started her career the minute she was legal – seriously, she started on her birthday - and hasn't looked back. So we called her on down to the M.I.A. for a little action! We decided it would be fun to put her on a blind date with Junior a Colombian who came to this country 5 years ago and still can't get the language down. He's full of one-liners that we assume he learned from rap videos. Maybe it's an odd combination, but fuck it! What's the harm in hooking Amia and Junior up together? Maybe she...

She's so small and she's only been with two other guys that it's hard for her to take Prestons dick, but like a champ she takes that shit. Watch Amea's first time now. Enjoy!

North Korean Nukes: How Worried Should We Be, and What Is Kim Jong Un Thinking?Christina Larson
On Tuesday, North Korea announced it would be restarting its shuttered Yongbyon nuclear reactor and nuclear weapons program—prompting United Nations head Ban Ki-moon to tell reporters yesterday that the North Korea "crisis has gone too far" (and prompting Reuters columnist Jack Shafer to round up in a blog "the enduring clichés of North Korea coverage").
For a quick reality check, David Kang, professor of international relations and business at the University of Southern California and a co-author of Nuclear North Korea: A Debate on Engagement Strategies, shared thoughts over e-mail on how to interpret the news—and how worried we should be.
How much will North Korea have to spend to restart its nuclear program?
David Kang: The Yongbyon facility was basically run down and decrepit as far back as the mid-2000s, which is one reason they were willing to trade it away. So any claims about restarting the reactor mean basically starting over from the beginning, so the cost will be billions of dollars.
How is North Korea's economy performing right now? [Has there been much impact from the apparently growing trade with China or other countries?]
North Korea's economy remains a poorly run attempt at central planning with minimal economic reforms at the margins. So illegal and black market trade across the China-North Korea border is tolerated simply because the regular system is so calcified. [Still], the economy is doing slightly better than it was during the height of the famine 15 years ago—many legal and illegal markets have opened up, and there has been increasing trade with China across the border. But the economy remains inefficient, and many people have the bare necessities.
Whose attention is Kim Jong Un trying to get?
Kim is playing to two audiences—an international and domestic audience. Internationally, the North Korean regime is saying to the U.S. and the Republic of Korea, "if you hit us first, we'll hit you back." To his own people, he is saying that he is in control, that the regime will not give in to foreign pressure, and that everything is fine. That's why he goes to basketball games with Dennis Rodman and amusement parks with his pretty young wife.
What potential threats does North Korea pose and to whom?
North Korea can destroy Seoul tomorrow if it chooses, so that's a real threat. Deterrence has held for 60 years because both sides realize the costs of a real war: Seoul would be destroyed, and North Korea would cease to exist. For all the hype about the last few months of chest-thumping and muscle-flexing, it's important to remember two things: First, if you read the North Korean statements in full, they are all saying "IF the U.S./ROK attack us first, we will fight back," (not "we will attack you first," which is often how they are interpreted), and second, we believe them. That's why there are no preemptive strikes on North Korea.
How did the genre of North Korea Internet jokes emerge? Why are there so many Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un memes?
I think we make fun of North Korea because it is not a regime, or a country, that is easily understood from the outside. But we do so at the risk of mistaking [the truth]: that it is a functioning country, and that many of its citizens—while perhaps not liking the rulers—are proud of their country and where they live. This is not a country that will easily break apart or give in, as we have seen over 60 years of stalemate. So jokes are fine, but they miss the point and basically make fun of North Korean people—people who did not choose to be born in North Korea, who have little power to change the regime, who are the most direct victims of the ruling regime, and who are trying to get through the day as best they can.

It also includes $1,904 in overpayments to former road Supt. Ronnie Brown between October 2003 and January 2004.The state auditors office issued a ruling in March that 11 former Sullivan Township and fire officials were liable for more than $65,000 in mishandled funds.The bulk of that amount stemmed from improper handling of fire department funds.

Relations between allometric scalings and fluctuations in complex systems: The case of Japanese firms
To elucidate allometric scaling in complex systems, we investigated the underlying scaling relationships between typical three-scale indicators for approximately 500,000 Japanese firms; namely, annual sales, number of employees, and number of business partners. First, new scaling relations including the distributions of fluctuations were discovered by systematically analyzing conditional statistics. Second, we introduced simple probabilistic models that reproduce all these scaling relations, and we derived relations between scaling exponents and the magnitude of fluctuations.

And he got the score of the 1985 Miami game wrong.
posted by Manor76
You are correct about my error regarding the final score of the 1985 Miami game. I forgot to include the 7 points scored to make the final tally 58 - 7 in favor of Miami.
As to the locker room dissension that affected the outcome of the USC game in 1974, my primary source of information is Tom Pagna's authoritative book titled Era of Ara, at pages 271 and 272. Also, I was an acquaintance of Wells Twombley, at the San Francisco Examiner,who had his "inside" source for the information about player unrest. It was more than Art Best,alone, causing the friction.
Regarding Johnny Ray it is my mistake to have forgotten that he departed following the 1968 season to become head coach at the University of Kentucky, where he remained 4 unremarkable years until replaced by Frank Curci. Johnny next coached in the NFL for the Buffalo Bills. He was a personal friend, a good man, and he had a terrific football mentality.
George Kelly arrived in the spring of 1969 and replaced Johnny Ray as principal defensive coordinator, with his focus on the linebackers. Bob Olson was a close friend of mine and an All American middle linebacker on the 1969 team. Bob was a great and humble man. George Kelly remained connected with and employed at Notre Dame for many years in varying capacities within the athletic department until his death.
My apologize for the factual errors contained in my primary post that began this thread.

Remember Those Birthdays And Such
Ever forget one of those big days, like a birthday or anniversary, because your reminders were scattered among a variety of calendars, notebooks, and paper scraps? Or been surprised to learn that an important day is at the beginning of the month when you flip the calendar page? Birthdays and Such to the rescue!
Birthdays and Such is a small application which will remind you of important events. It will do this every time it is launched, so you may want to create an alias to it and place it in the Startup Items folder in your System Folder. You can choose to have it quit if there are no reminders, helping reduce desktop clutter. If you leave your machine on for extended periods, you can leave it running, and it will update reminders at midnight.
Reminders are stored in a text file, which already contains several examples. Each reminder consists of several lines of text. The first is the month and day of the reminder, the second is the number of days notice you'd like, and the third is the name of the reminder. The third line can optionally contain the year of the original event, with Birthdays and Such dutifully calculating the number of years since the original event. An optional fourth line can limit the reminder to one or more specific years.
The combined simplicity and usefulness of Birthdays and Such make it a must-have for any Mac user. It runs on almost every Mac ever made (except the 128 and 512) and System 6.0.8 or greater, so you have no excuse not to keep your important dates in order.

The Old City in Chiang Mai, Thailand is surrounded by a moat and the vestiges of a wall built to repel Burmese invaders.
As the main tourist district, most stay within the Old City's boundaries even though some of the greatest rewards are just outside the walls.
Contributing writer Dan Lawton ventures into the heart of the real Chiang Mai and offers up four recommendations for local favorites.
Local Favorites Of Chiang Mai
Every year thousands hunker down in the Old City in Chiang Mai, where you can only experience a fraction of what the city has to offer. Working there as a writer this spring, I went on hunt for the local's Chiang Mai. I wanted an authentic, spontaneous experience—not another group tour or highly programmed outing.
Inevitably, my favorite experiences were never those I planned. Instead, as a I looked for authentic cuisine I would stumble on the real Muay Thai boxing experience. Traveling to the popular Buddhist temple, I found the local villagers' favorite picnic spots. Unmarked roads, winding alleyways, all lead me to the jewels of the city.
From the night markets to the mountains of Doi Suthep National Forest that perch above the city, here are a few adventures to whet your appetite for the local's Chiang Mai:
Muay Thai boxing at the night bazaar
You'll see advertisements for Muay Thai boxing all over the Old City, as there's a stadium conveniently located on the main drag, Moon Muang Road. However, if you want a more authentic Muay Thai experience, head to the night bazaar.
Once there, trek past the food court toward the back alleys. If you're lucky, there will be a few signs posted, but your best bet is to follow the rumble of the announcer until you arrive at a fenced-in stadium.
Pay the entry fee ($15-$20) and you'll be in the midst of a backyard brawl.
Ringside seats, usually plastic or folding chairs, are readily available and you can snag as many cold beers as you want from the coolers in the back. The action is fast, violent and furious—you'll definitely see some blood—and the fighters, many of whom are teenagers, celebrate their victories with tons of enthusiasm.
A motorcycle picnic on Doi Suthep
Doi Suthep is the legendary Buddhist temple that sits about 7.5 miles above Chiang Mai. It's a must-see, as is the surrounding heavily forested national park. If you're headed to the summit, consider renting a motorcycle and breaking away from the crowds on a spontaneous side trip.
At numerous junctures, you'll see unmarked paths on the side of the road. Just pick one, any one, and dive in. Most of the trails slope gently through the mountain, weaving through the canopy of sun-lit trees. Scenic vistas pop out of nowhere and there are plenty of great spots to set up shop for a picnic.
Small, self-sufficient villages also dot the area, and the residents are generally happy to indulge erstwhile hikers, so don't be surprised if you meet some friends along the way.
A psychedelic rock concert in a warehouse
What do you get when you mix four Chiang Mai University students with massive guitar amps and an endless appetite for laying down blood-pumping, shoulder-shaking, distortion-heavy classic rock covers?
You get a great party.
Though hard to find, local underground music groups often host impromptu gigs at abandoned warehouses and buildings. The bands will show up with their gear and a few coolers of beer and wail away, until the exceedingly diplomatic Chiang Mai police arrive and politely ask them to turn it down a few notches.
Unless you happen to stumble into one, finding these shows can be tricky. Your best bet is to ask at a local music store or check out concert postings in the University area.
Volunteering in the slums
The outskirts of Chiang Mai are poverty-stricken; many families from the surrounding hill tribes come to the city looking for jobs and find none. As a result, they build their own housing, where they often live without basic shelter and necessities. If you want to make volunteerism part of your visit, consider spending a day with the children in one of these neighborhoods.
The Chiang Mai YMCA runs an outreach program in which volunteers travel to different communities to play with the children there. Activities range from helping kids learn basic English to origami. Regardless of what you do, you're bound to giggle a lot with the kids and have a good time.

Randall Marchi '78, a recent graduate of the Army War College, was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in the Pennsylvania National Guard on June 2, 2007, during a ceremony at Fort Indiantown Gap.
"Colonel Marchi has become General Marchi because he has spent his thirty-four years in the Army taking care of soldiers and doing it well," said Maj. Gen. Jessica Wright, commander of the Pennsylvania National Guard. "When I would call him and tell him that his soldiers were coming back from Iraq, he would get up in the middle of the night to greet them no matter how difficult it was. He has juggled his civilian career, family, and the military and remained successful with all."
"I thank you all for your years of coaching and mentoring," said Marchi to his family members and fellow service members. "I have a leadership trait from each of you who I have had the honor to serve with over the years. You are the reason I am standing here today."
Marchi was formally the 28th Infantry Division Artillery commander and will now serve as assistant adjutant general, Joint Force Headquarters, for the Pennsylvania National Guard. In civilian life, Marchi lives in Mechanicsburg, Pa., and is a certified public accountant, a certified fraud examiner, and a certified governmental financial manager employed by the Office of the Auditor General in Harrisburg.
"I thank General Wright for this opportunity and look forward to the new challenges that it will bring me," said Marchi.

Prefer the original all about eyesThis is very moisturizing and feels great on the under eye area but is a little greasy feeling. I purchased this by mistake after the original one was sold out. I prefer the original all about eyes because I think it feels lighter but this is a solid eye cream — 3 years, 8 months agoqueenb82 | 53 reviews

Lightened Dark CirclesI tried this product after giving up on concealers that had started to irritate the skin under my eyes. I tried to use regular moisturizer or even aquaphor nothing got the red blotchy dry patches to go away. After using this day and night the patches went away and I have noticed it does help with my dark circles only if I have had a good nights rest to go along with it. It hasn't bothered my sensitive skin which is a plus! Will continue to use. — 5 years, 9 months agooliveoyls | 13 reviews
My go to eye creamI really love this product. I have a very sensitive under eye area that has been known to get red from other products. This eye cream works well for me and I have had no bad reactions to it (been using for nearly a year). I do not have under eye circles or puffiness so I cannot comment on the products performance there but I will repurchase since I have had good luck with it. — 5 years, 9 months agobeautybyarielle | 36 reviews

For an eye cream, it was not badI didn't have any of my normal reactions to eye cream for this one, but it still didn't wow me. It had the same effect for me as the Moisture Surge, which you get more volume for the price. Enjoyed the sample I tried but don't think I'd buy it again. Off to try another new Clinique product! Can you tell I've drunk the kool aid? I haven't had this much success and nice skin results from any other line and am always game to try a new product by them. That and the Regenerist products. — 6 years, 4 months agoernmcc | 82 reviews
