Invicta Fighting Championships will stream its much-anticipated Baszler vs. McMann, 14-fight women's professional Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) event, live in its entirety and free of charge to a worldwide audience on the promotion's website, InvictaFC.com, from Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan. on Saturday, July 28.
Returning to the Invicta FC broadcast booth to call the action will be the trio that called the fights during Invicta FC's inaugural event on April 28 – Showtime MMA voice Mauro Ranallo, light heavyweight superstar "King Mo" Lawal and women's MMA sensation Julie "Fireball" Kedzie.
Additionally, Raquel Pa'aluhi (2-2) of Wa'anae, HI will replace Leslie Smith, who has withdrawn from the event due to a fractured wrist, against hard-hitting KO artist Amanda "Lioness of the Ring" Nunes (6-2) of Salvador, Bahia Brazil in a bantamweight (135 pounds) main card bout.
"We are excited about delivering a stacked women's fight card to a global audience for the second time in a three month span," said Invicta FC President and Co-Founder Shannon Knapp. "The live stream is an excellent way of supporting Invicta FC's mission of providing women mixed martial artists with a major platform to showcase their skills on and to support the growth of women's MMA far and wide."
Ranallo, the lead commentator for Strikeforce on Showtime as well as for Canada's The Score Fighting Series and a former commentator for Japan's Pride Fighting Championships, will serve as the play-by-play announcer during the live stream of the event.
Lawal is a former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion who recently signed an unprecedented dual contract with Bellator Fighting Championships and professional wrestling league TNA. A former NCAA Division I All-American wrestler for Oklahoma State University, the 31-year-old has gained recognition for his technical knowledge of MMA and his meticulous attention to fighters' styles.
Like Lawal, Kedzie brings a wealth of MMA fight experience with her to the show. A student of famed trainer Greg Jackson, the 31-year-old has been competing as a professional since 2004 and holds a career record of 16-9.
The live stream on InvictaFC.com will begin at 7 p.m. EST/4 p.m. PST with the event's six-bout preliminary card and continue with the eight-bout main card.
In the bantamweight main event, 2004 Olympic Wrestling Silver Medalist and undefeated MMA star Sara McMann (5-0) of Gaffney, SC. and battle-tested submission wizard Shayna "The Queen of Spades" Baszler (14-6) of Sioux Falls, SD.
In the co-main event, Hitomi "Girlfight Monster" Akano (18-9) of Tokyo, Japan will square off with Japanese Jiu-Jitsu black belt and Cesar Gracie-protégé Alexis Davis (11-5) of Colborne, Ontario Canada at bantamweight.

Submission specialist Sarah "The Monster" D'Alelio (5-2) of San Jose, Calif. will lock up with streaking superstar Vanessa Porto (14-4) of Sao Paulo, Brazil at bantamweight.
JEWELS champion Ayaka Hamasaki (7-0) of Yamaguchi, Japan will head to Kansas City, Kan. to square off with Lacey "The Ladie" Schuckman (7-4) of Lakewood, Colo. in a flyweight (115 pounds) matchup
American prospects Barb "Little Warrior" Honchak (5-2) of East Moline, Ill. and undefeated Bethany Marshall (4-0) of Newport News, Va. will meet in a super flyweight (125 pounds) matchup.
Julia "The Jewel" Budd (2-2) of Port Moody, British Columbia Canada will face Elina Nilsson (2-2) of Gothenburg, Sweden at featherweight (145 pounds).
In the opening main card bout, Jiu-Jitsu champion and former high school wrestling star Carla Esparza (6-2) of Redondo Beach, Calif. will square off with Sarah "White Tiger" Schneider (6-5) of Kansas City, Mo. at flyweight.
The preliminary card will begin with a matchup between Sarah Moras (2-0) of Kelowna, British Columbia and Raquel Pennington (1-1) of Colorado Springs, Colo.
After compiling a 5-2 record under amateur status, 25-year-old Jessamyn "The Gun" Duke (0-0) will make her much-anticipated professional debut against unbeaten 30-year-old Suzie Montero (1-0) of Pompano Beach, Fla. at bantamweight.
One-half of the 26-year-old twin MMA fighter duo, Jocelyn "Lights Out" Lybarger (0-0) of Phoenix, Ariz. will make her debut under professional status opposite Cheryl Chan (0-0) of Surrey, British Columbia Canada at super flyweight.

The Digital Concert Hall in a Media Geographical PerspectiveStöber, Birgit (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The Internet is often associated with "a placeless world, (…) and a form of reality grounded in technology rather than nature" (Adams 2009, 115). Many commentators argue that the combination of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and cyberspace disrupts a number of factors that underpin traditional forms of cultural and social interaction and thus the relationship between place, community and identity." (Dodge & Kitchen 2001, 33) Moreover, an argument often heard is that media are not able to reproduce a unique moment tied to a particular site; therefore media (no matter whether they are analog or digital) are not able to transmit cultural events such as a concert without losing its specific "aura" (Benjamin). The case of the Digital Concert Hall (DCH) by Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra challenges these arguments. The DCH is a virtual place and communication platform that offers a "quasi authentic concert experience on a home computer" (Kolbe 2009, 12). However, the DCH is extremely bounded to the concrete place of the concert hall in Berlin mainly due to the technology installed in the hall. In this paper, I will argue that the virtual place of the DCH is a new media initiative from the classical music scene that is not placeless, neither it is weakening the physical place of the concert hall in Berlin. Rather, the virtual platform DCH is strengthening the physical place as well as the brand Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8253

The rumors were true: Eminem joined 50 Cent to recreate "Get Rich or Die Tryin"' Friday night at South By Southwest.
It was a throwback to the heyday of gangster rap at the music conference and festival as 50 Cent hit the stage at the Shady Records showcase in a camouflage bullet-proof vest and a Yankees cap as clouds of chronic floated through the air. With a seven-piece band and MC Tony Yayo at this side, he laid down the 16 game-changing tracks from "Get Rich," performing the entire album live for the first time.
"It's been a minute," he told the crowd of about 2,000 at the Austin Music Hall and an audience watching via Fuse and YouTube. "It's been 10 years. That album sold 13 million copies. Damn."
The album came out in February 2003, with Eminem and Dr. Dre serving as executive producers and featured rappers.
While Dr. Dre didn't show in Austin, Eminem -- the focus of rumors all week -- joined 50 on "Patiently Waiting" and a short encore that almost didn't come off because of lackluster crowd reaction, a commonplace occurrence at SXSW.
"I guess it's not what have I done, but what have I done for you lately, is that right?" a tweaked 50 Cent said when he returned to the stage. But perhaps showing he's mellowed in the decade since he filled the air with the "pop pop pop" of songs like "In Da Club" and "Many Men (Wish Death)," he did the encore anyway.
Dre wasn't the only prominent player missing from the session. Governor replaced the late Nate Dogg, who passed away a year ago this week, on "21 Questions."
Fit and on his game, 50 seemed in high spirits throughout the show and marveled at how, against the odds, he did get rich and didn't die tryin'.
"The money came so fast, I couldn't (expletive) it up," the 36-year-old said. "I was trying everything I could think of."

Silver 2011, A Look Back: How Silver Made a Run at its Record in Dollars, Only to End The Year Down As Euros Became Dollars
Oh, here we come to the end of another year of currency wars and U.S. led genocidal invasions of far away nations. If there was any doubt in anybody's mind that Obama would forge ahead with the Bush pre-emption policy, this was laid to rest in 2011.
As insane policies by bankers and special interest technocrats lead to a loss of faith in fiat currencies generally, the precious metals markets have awoken from a near century long manipulated rest. Asserting themselves increasingly as the money of choice among savvy investors and a deep-seeded freedom movement, the future of money does not lie in the U.S. Dollar. Silver, in particular, has become an exciting prospect for the younger generation, many of whom purchase silver not as an investment, but, rather, as a store of wealth or means of savings. Those who affiliate themselves with the Silver Liberation Army, furthermore, see it as a weapon against demise-of-the-state globalist banks. (more…)


text: Here are several ways to stash enough cash over the next couple of months to pay for gifts without going into debt. By Cameron Huddleston, Former Online Editor September 23, 2011 It's not too early to get a head start on the holidays -- saving for the holidays, that is. By making moves now to cut costs or earn extra money, you can save up to $1,000 or more over the next two months to pay for holiday gifts with cash rather than credit. SEE ALSO: Stop Wasting Your Money I've skipped several of the usual savings recommendations (such as dining out less) and highlighted some cost-cutting moves you might not have considered. The actual savings and earnings in the examples below will vary (especially depending on which ones you can implement). But they do show it is possible to generate an extra $1,000 over two months. Be sure to share your money-saving tips in the reader comments box below. Sponsored Content Ways to save Advertisement • Adjust your tax withholding. The average tax refund this year was nearly $2,805. If you got a refund, stop paying Uncle Sam too much throughout the year and keep that money for yourself (or gifts for others). You simply need to change your tax withholding by filing a new W-4 with your employer's human resources department. To find out how many exemptions you should be claiming, try our Easy-To-Use Tax Withholding Calculator. The changes will go into effect on your next paycheck.TWO MONTHS OF SAVINGS = $467.50 (based on the average refund) • Ditch the premium cable TV package. When I canceled my expensive premium cable package and opted for the cheap, basic service, I started saving $80 a month -- more than $950 a year. See Budget-Friendly Alternatives to Cable TV for sources of free or cheap programming and movies. (Note: I kept basic cable service to score a discount on my phone and Internet services.) TWO MONTHS OF SAVINGS = $160 • Increase your auto insurance deductible. Increasing the deductibles on your comprehensive and collision coverage from $500 to $1,000, or even $2,500, can reduce your premiums by 12% to 18%. For example, boosting the deductibles from $500 to $1,000 would mean a savings of $648 per year, on average, for a family with two teenage drivers in northern California (which has a competitive auto insurance marketplace), according to the database at InsWeb, an insurance Web site. TWO MONTHS OF SAVINGS = $108 • Increase your home insurance deductible. My insurer recently sent me a letter stating that I could shave $300 off my annual premium by boosting my deductible from $1,000 to $2,000. That equates to a savings of $25 a month. TWO MONTHS OF SAVINGS = $50 Advertisement • Eliminate bank fees. More and more banks are charging account holders a fee -- as much as $30 a month -- if they fail to meet deposit, balance or usage requirements. Some charge $1 to $2 to send monthly paper statements and up to $9 for interacting with a teller. To avoid bank fees, consider opening an account at USAA Federal Savings Bank, Perk Street, EverBank, Ally Bank or Zion Bank. TWO MONTHS OF SAVINGS = $60 • Drop the gym membership. Gym memberships cost an average of $30 to $70 a month, according to PriceGrabber, a price-comparison site. So if you're not locked into a long-term contract, consider dropping this expense and trying free exercise alternatives, such as running or walking outdoors, for a couple of months. TWO MONTHS OF SAVINGS = $60 (for the $30 monthly fee) • Drop your land line. If you're paying $40 a month (AT&T's current rate for unlimited long-distance calling) for home phone service but rely mainly on your cell phone, eliminate this monthly expense. TWO MONTHS of SAVINGS = $80 • Buy regular, not premium, gas. This won't amount to big savings, but, hey, every little bit counts. A gallon of premium gasoline costs $3.85 on average (the week of September 19), while a gallon of regular costs $3.60 on average. If you filled up a 16-gallon car twice a month with regular rather than premium, you'd save $8. TWO MONTHS Of SAVINGS = $16 (for filling up twice a month) Advertisement TOTAL SAVINGS = $1,001.50 Ways to earn • Sell sterling silver for scrap. My husband recently took a few silver pieces that we never use to a local dealer and got $30 an ounce, netting us more than $1,000. EARNINGS = $240 for an 8-ounce piece • Sell unwanted gold jewelry. With the price of gold at about $1,700 an ounce, selling unwanted gold jewelry also is a quick way to generate some cash. For example, if you have a gold ring with a melt value (the actual value of the gold in the jewelry) of $200, expect to get paid about 70% of the melt value -- so $140. See Smart Ways to Sell Your Gold for tips on how to get a good deal. EARNINGS = $140 for jewelry with a melt value of $200. Advertisement • Sell unwanted gift cards. The average household has about $300 in unspent gift cards, according to Plastic Jungle, a Web site that lets you buy, sell, exchange or donate gift cards. With sites such as Plastic Jungle and Gift Card Granny, you can turn those cards into cash. You won't get the full value of your card (up to 92% at best). EARNINGS = $276 (based on a 92% return on $300 worth of cards) • Get paid for your opinions. For a few hours of your time, you can get paid to participate in an in-person focus group, such as those run by Delve. EARNINGS = up to $200 per focus group • Sell your stuff online. Kiplinger's senior editor Jeffrey Kosnett and his wife made $200 selling flatware they no longer used through the popular online auction site eBay. Kosnett's wife, Deborah, says the key to selling your wares on the Web is to research similar merchandise that has been sold recently through the site and price competitively. EARNINGS = $200 TOTAL EARNINGS = $1,056 For more ideas, see 11 Ways to Get Extra Cash and 11 More Ways to Get Extra Cash. Follow me on Twitter

Last decade's industry evolution paved the way to full-IP communications, removing the direct connection between services and a physical network. Meanwhile, new network virtualization approaches/technologies have been generating a positive thrust in the way telco operators build and operate their network infrastructure and services.
Now is the time for traditional CSPs to re-invent themselves from a business, organizational and technology perspective, to fill the generational gap with OTTs, leveraging new cost optimization opportunities associated with SDN/NFV while building a lean IT able to deal with the real-time and agile needs of the digital world. OSS is strongly affected by this need and plays a unique but key role in this radical transformation.
The Accenture offering defines the reference framework for the OSS evolution and provides the tools to make the transformation happen:
WHY: shapes a client's strategic OSS evolution roadmap based on client priorities and measurable business KPIs such as T2M, CAPEX/OPEX reduction, quality and automation.
WHAT: drives the OSS transformation initiatives towards the desired real-time OSS architecture. It enables OSS transformations linked to our overall view of the entire IT blueprint, through multi-speed IT, agility, journey to cloud native, data-driven AI.
HOW: Enables the safe leveraging of proprietary solutions along with the emerging and leading-edge technologies (screened, tested, deployed and integrated in Accenture labs) to unleash the potential of the network virtualization trends (SDN/NFV), the flexibility to support innovative services while having the opportunity to optimize network management costs.

My Chirch Apparel
It's about the hat. What started as a piece of my everyday attire rockin' the hat backwards has turned into much more. A female hat lover at heart, I wanted to create a boutique line of hats (pro-back baseball style) showcasing the daily expressions of my friends and community. Each hat represents a memorable expression in my life. How? I stamp the verbal expressions on the underside brim of my hats and sign em'! My style is a combination of urban style meets sportswear. I currently wear my hats while bartending to showcase my style. But I need a logo!
Any individual, male or female who wears the fitted style hats forward, backwards or however they desire. Ages 17-35. Someone looking to make a fashionable statement and make people ask, "Where did you get that hat?"
The logo needs to use or incorporate the letters MCA (My Chirch Apparel....not literally meaning religious church, but rather a group of people and friends sharing my common interests.) It needs to have an upscale yet urban feel. These are premium boutique hats so I'd like something recognizable that makes a statement. A clean and simple design, nothing too flashy. I want the logo and hat to create the "North Face" brand functionality, where you can dress it up or dress it down. OPEN TO SEEING YOUR CREATIVITY AND COLOR IDEAS.

I wonder why I get emergency emails from the county hours after I get them via Hawaii Nixle Emergency Alerts.
Of course I find it funny that the Hawaii County Police Department would use an emergency alert service like Nixel to promote it's self at times by posting thing like "Police Officer of the Month" on an emergency service. Lord knows if we as the public used a service like 911 to promote ourselves all hell would break out.
Then again… I didn't get anything via Nixle the night of the Tsunami Evacuations!
If folks are relying on email for emergency notifications… it may be too late when a real emergency does happen! I'm gonna depend on myself for notices until the county get's the kinks worked out.
The Sirens will be tested today with county workers stationed at each siren.
I guarantee they will report that the Pahoa Siren closest to my house is functioning properly (as it always does on the drill days)
I know for a fact that Pahoa's siren didn't go off until about 9:15 at night more then two hours after I posted the warning on my site.
Having County workers standing by at these sirens tomorrow won't prove much I expect…. as I expect my siren to go off as usual during a warning.
There was a moral to the story of the boy who called wolf!

On August 5, 1926, Harry Houdini successfully performed a variation the Buried Alive stunt that had nearly killed him 11 years earlier. Houdini was locked inside a coffin and lowered below the waters of the swimming pool at the Shelton Hotel in New York City where he remained submerged for an hour and a half. The stunt was performed in response to Rahman Bey's claim to have channeled supernatural powers in order to survive in a sealed casket for one hour. Having survived the stunt himself, Houdini attributed his own success to controlled breathing. Houdini performed the stunt once more in the summer of 1926 and had planned to incorporate a stage version into his 1927 performance season. Unfortunately, Houdini died of a ruptured appendix on October 31, 1926.

One of my biggest disappointments this week is that I can't be in Gettysburg, enjoying the celebrations for the 150th celebration.
(I mean, in a way that's OK, because I'm sure it's crowded, but I'd still like to be there in the middle of it).
Anyway, despite being two hours away, it's possible to still be in the middle of the action all through the help of social media.
People are tweeting up a storm from the battlefields, and here's some of what they have to say:
