It's been a brutal start for the Saints and Steve Spagnuolo, their new defensive coordinator.
New Orleans, which went 37-11 with three playoff appearances and a Super Bowl victory from 2008-11, is 0-2 for the first time in five years heading into today's home game against the equally winless (and far more dysfunctional) Kansas City Chiefs.
Defense, as in a total lack thereof, has been the culprit.
The Saints surrendered 924 yards and 75 points in losses to the Washington Redskins, who aren't very good, and the Carolina Panthers, who aren't anything special. They rank last in the league in yards allowed and are tied with the Chiefs for last in points allowed.
"You look in the mirror first," Spagnuolo told the New Orleans media after moving up his weekly press conference from Friday to Monday because he felt it was important to address the understandable concerns of the team's loyal and mostly long-suffering fans.
It's obviously not the start that Spagnuolo, who hails from Grafton, envisioned when he joined the Saints in January after being fired as coach of the St. Louis Rams following a three-year run in which he went 10-38.
"It's a winning business," he said. "So when you don't win, it hurts."
The Saints have a host of problems. They haven't been able to generate a pass rush (three sacks) or produce turnovers (one), and they're allowing big pass plays (12 of 20-plus yards) despite utilizing a zone-heavy scheme designed to keep that from occurring.
"Again, I don't think we're that far off," Spagnuolo said. "But if you get stuck on stats, you're going to think I'm full of baloney."
Speaking of numbers, here are two that came up during his 17-minute press conference: When Spagnuolo was in his first season as the Giants' defensive coordinator, in 2007, his unit allowed 80 points and 846 yards while losing the first two games.
The defense turned it around after that, holding eight of its final 14 opponents to 17 points or less as the Giants won 10 games and reached the playoffs, where they won four straight games, including Super Bowl XLII against the previously perfect Patriots.
"There was nothing magical — it just kind of came together," Spagnuolo said after mentioning he had gone back to his notes from that season to see if he could find some clues to help solve his current mysterious crisis.
"But I do know one thing — it came together because nobody pointed fingers, everyone stuck together, and then just grind their way out of it. That doesn't mean because it happened in '07 and I'm sitting here now that's going to happen again. That's certainly the hope.
"I know that if we stick together, there's enough character, enough good players in that locker room, certainly on the defensive side of the ball, that we can get this thing right."
Sticking together and staying the course were two themes repeatedly emphasized by Spagnuolo, an eternal optimist.
"We all realize we're going through some growing pains, but I think the growing pains will pay off in the end," he said. "I strongly believe in two things: I believe in our players and our coaches and I believe in our scheme. Unless something falls out of the sky (translation: a miracle), that's not going to change."
The Ravens will host the Patriots tonight and then welcome the Cleveland Browns to M&T Bank Stadium on Thursday. That'll cap a stretch in which they will have played four games in 18 days, three of them in prime time. Insane and one of the most obvious examples of the league talking about player safety being a priority until it interferes what the networks want. About the only thing that has made the situation manageable is that three of the games were at home and the other was right up the road in Philadelphia. … Interesting matchup in the Arizona desert today as the Cardinals, who are aiming for their first 3-0 start since 1974 (when they played in St. Louis), take on the Eagles, who are the first team in league history to win their first two games by one point each. … Bills running back C.J. Spiller is averaging 10 yards a carry, making him the first player to average double digits in the first two games of a season since Jim Brown (11.3) did so for the Browns in 1963. The Patriots will get an up-close look at Spiller, the ninth overall pick in the 2010 draft, when they travel to Buffalo next Sunday. … Old friend Adam Vinatieri's 53-yard winning field goal last week was the 23rd of his career that came in the final minute of the fourth quarter or in overtime. That tied him with Matt Bahr, another ex-Patriot, and Jason Elam for most clutch kicks since 1970. … Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees all were on the losing end last week. That has happened only once before, in Week 16 in 2002.
Some quick hits and (hopefully) useful numbers with regard to this week's games: The Bears have won five straight home games with Jay Cutler at quarterback as they welcome the Rams to Chicago. … The Cowboys have won four straight against the Buccaneers, including 31-15 last year. … The Jaguars have won three of the past four meetings with the Colts, including by 14 and six points last season. … Six of the last eight games between the Jets and Dolphins have been decided by seven points or less. … The Cardinals defeated the Eagles, 21-17, last year in Philadelphia … Broncos QB Peyton Manning is 16-2 all-time versus the Texans, who are off to their third straight 2-0 start. Houston's undefeated run ended in Week 3 in both 2010 and '11.
Some random thoughts in no particular order:
•The Giants really flashed their championship chops last week. After putting up 25 points in the fourth quarter to rally past Tampa Bay on Sunday, they went on the road and destroyed Carolina four days later despite being seriously short-handed due to injury.
•Which leads us to the next point: Where Eli Manning ranks on the current quarterback hierarchy is a matter of opinion, but there's no one better when a comeback is required and 15 minutes remain.
•The Patriots increasingly have started to play the "it wasn't a good week of practice" card after a loss. For an organization that doesn't make excuses, that sounds suspiciously like one.
•Those Thursday night games on the NFL Network are painful to watch and worse to listen to. Just flip over to the college game playing at the same time on ESPN, and you'll see and hear the difference.
•ESPN the Magazine recently released its annual rankings of pro sports franchises, and the Red Sox placed 117th out of 122 teams. Ouch! The Celtics were 20th, the Patriots 22nd and the Bruins 58th.

I've recently started my PhD in a lab where there is a massive problem with mycoplasma. The majority of cell lines in the lab that have been tested have been shown to be positive, including some of mine that I imported from overseas (although I think that they may have been contaminated before I even got them ).
The head of my lab just doesn't want to hear about it- it has been brought up several times with him and he dismisses it (he is a bit of a tyrant). He does not want us to throw out contaminated cells, and says that even testing for mycoplasma is a waste of time. I know this is wrong, and my results have been affected by the mycoplama infection in the lines that I'm using.
I guess what I'm asking is this: if I bring up new, uncontaminated stocks of cells, what are the chances that they will catch mycoplama from being in an incubator/hood with other infected cell lines?
And furthermore, is there any way, or has anyone had any success, in curing cells of a mycoplama infection? I have read some reports of it being possible, and have attached a protocol here that I was considering trying as throwing things out is apparently not an option in this lab.
Very worried PhD candidate

The LINDOR Experience
Unwrapping a Lindor Ball is truly an incredible experience. Engaging all of your senses, you are delighted with the smell of the sweet chocolate as you place the soft foil into your hands and slowly unwrap the delicious chocolate. As you delicately unwrap, you are presented with a perfectly round chocolate truffle. Placing it into your fingers, it slowly begins to melt, which means you should eat it quickly! What follows from unwrapping such a beautifully crafted chocolate is pure, sweet gold. This is the true Lindor experience.
LINDT and OR
Over 60 years ago the first Lindor chocolate truffle was created. The LINDT Maître Chocolatier and his colleagues were busy creating delectable chocolate delights, and had no idea that they were about to come across something truly unique and as precious as chocolate "sweet gold'. Whilst the word LINDT epitomises the finest chocolate, the French word for gold "Or" was used to name the creation of the beautiful chocolate truffle, Lindor.
A proven gem
The Lindor name promised pure gold and it kept its promise! It was hardly surprising considering that the chocolate was so smooth and irresistible; it immediately left everyone in Switzerland wanting more! Virtually everyone in Switzerland in 1949 celebrated Christmas with Lindor, and after the festive season passed, everyone found themselves wanting more... Was Lindor only just for Christmas?
Launch of sweet gold
The year was 1949, and daily life in Switzerland took its course with a festive mood in the air in the lead up to the bustling Christmas season. Now that the LINDT Maîtres Chocolatiers had created a new, melt-in-the-mouth sensation, Lindor, the chocolate delight made its way into the shops and into the hearts of Swiss people just in time for Christmas to make life just that bit sweeter!
The Lindor truffle's red, shiny appearance made it festive, just like a Christmas bauble and this was why it was perfect for the Christmas season in bringing joy and delight into Swiss homes. But just after the New Year, when Lindor disappeared from the shelves many chocolate connoisseurs were left yearning for this chocolate delight, and the Maîtres Chocolatiers weren't satisfied with this result. What should be done to remedy this situation?
The golden solution
The LINDT Maîtres Chocolatiers wanted Lindor truffles to become a blissful treat every month of the year, and they worked their magic to make this dream to come true. Based on the exquisite truffle ball, the Maîtres Chocolatiers also endeavoured to create other Lindor melting experiences in different formats, such as in chocolate bars, in Easter eggs and in other chocolate treats. Of course, these new creations based on the famous recipe melted in the mouth perfectly. Since then aficionados and connoisseurs have enjoyed their favourite chocolate all year round and agree that Lindor is right for any season. Whether it's snowing or the sun is shining, Lindor is perfect for any moment...

Rihanna took out a temporary restraining order... but not for Chris Brown.
According to TMZ.com, a judge granted the singer the restraining order against an obsessed fan who was arrested last week after breaking into her neighbor's home under the mistaken impression that it was Rihanna's home.
VIDEO: Is Law & Order: SVU tackling the Chris Brown-Rihanna saga?
As part of the order, Steveland Barrow must stay 100 yards away from Rihanna. Barrow was recently released from custody, and has not been spotted since.
The news comes one day after Law & Order: SVU did a "ripped from the headlines" story line that depicted a young couple that were obviously based on Rihanna and Chris Brown, whose personal lives made headlines after the rapper boyfriend physically abused his songstress girlfriend. [Warning! Do not read further if you don't want to be spoiled on events in the episode.] The NBC procedural strayed from the real-life story, however, when the rapper's abuse escalates and by the end of the episode, murders the woman.

The Haifa Verification Conference (HVC) 2010, slated for October 5-7, is the sixth in the series of annual conferences dedicated to advancing the verification and testing of both hardware and software. The conference, organized by IBM R&D Labs in Israel, provides a forum for academia, industry, and the research and development community to share their work, exchange ideas, and discuss the challenges and future directions of verification for hardware, software, and hybrid systems.
The HVC award is given to the most influential work in the last five years in the scope of HVC itself, namely formal and nonformal verification. The award is not limited to influential articles; it can also be a system or a collection of activities that promote the area, and it recognizes the most promising contribution to fields of software and hardware verification and test in the last five years.
The HVC 2010 award went to key players in promoting Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT). The winners are (alphabetically):
- Clark Barrett, New York University
- Leonardo De-Moura, Microsoft Research
- Silvio Ranise, FBK Trento
- Aaron Stump, University of Iowa
- Cesare Tinelli, University of Iowa
The HVC award committee has decided to give the award this year to those who played a pivotal and continuous role in building and promoting the Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) community. The term "Satisfiability modulo theories," was coined less than 10 years ago, but the impact of this field on the industry can be measured by the current use of SMT solvers: Microsoft uses Z3, an SMT solver developed by De-Moura and Bjorner, in at least 10 different program analysis tools; Intel is using SMT solvers such as MathSat and Boolector for processor verification and hardware equivalence checking; other companies that are known to use SMT solvers include Galois Connection, Praxis, GrammaTech, NVIDIA, Synopsys, Mathworks, and Dassault Aviation. SMT solvers are now standard engines in numerous industrial applications, some of which (like scheduling) are outside the scope of deductive reasoning and formal verification — the original home community of most of the award recipients.
The following are some historical notes on the development of the SMT community and the role played by the award recipients and others.
The growing interest and need for powerful decision procedures led to the Satisfiability-Modulo-Theory Library (SMT-LIB) initiative. The main purpose of this initiative was to streamline the research and tool development in the field.
As a first step, Ranise and Tinelli developed the SMT-LIB standard, which defines a common language for benchmarks and formally specifies various theories that attract enough interest in the research community and have a sufficiently large set of publicly available benchmarks. This standard is now supported by dozens of solvers. The standard is an ongoing effort: Recently, Barrett, Stump, and Tinelli published version 2.0 of the standard — an 80-page document — which includes new theories, various simplifications of the grammar, and a command language.
As a second step, the organizers started collecting benchmarks in this format, and today the SMT-LIB repository, which is mostly managed by Barrett, Deters and Tinelli, includes about 94,000 benchmarks in the SMT-LIB format, classified into 22 divisions.
A third step was to initiate the SMT-COMP annual competition for SMT solvers, with a separate track for each division. This competition attracts 10 to 15 solvers every year. Aaron Stump, Clark Barrett, Leonardo de Moura, Morgan Deters, and Albert Oliveras have been the key players in this competition throughout the years.
A fourth step was to initiate SMT-EXEC, led by Deters and Stump, which is a server farm for the use of SMT-solver developers. Developers submit their executables through a web interface, and get detailed results comparing their work to other solvers with respect to the benchmarks in the SMT-lib repository.
These four steps have promoted the field dramatically. Only a few years back, it was very hard to get benchmarks. Every tool had its own language standard; hence, the benchmarks could not be migrated without translation. Moreover, there was no good way to compare tools and methods. Through the aforementioned efforts, these problems have been solved and, consequently, the number of tools and research papers dedicated to this field is now steadily
Given the scope of the award — the most influential work in formal and nonformal verification in the last five years — receiving it is a major compliment to the joint effort of this group and recognition of the great impact that the SMT community in general achieved.

Tibco's Samantha Schneider wins 2010 Chris Thater Memorial Criterium
USA Crits series action continues Sunday with the men's event.
Multiple scenarios played out in the Women's Pro 1/2 race of the Chris Thater Memorial Criterium, held in Binghamton, New York on Saturday. Brooke Miller (Tibco-To The Top), who won the race a year ago, announced her retirement just before the race began.
Her teammate Sam Schneider out-sprinted NRC leader Cath Cheatley (Colavita Baci) after the duo broke away from the peloton with 10 laps to go. Another Tibco rider, Joanne Kiesanowski, won the field sprint. Cheatley still managed to secure the NRC Individual championship title after holding a big points advantage going into the
Erica Allar (unattached) successfully defended her USA Crits Series leaders jersey in the series finale.
Schneider outkicks Cheatley
Colavita and TIBCO marked each other all race long, and that's exactly what Schneider did when Cheatley went off the front with eight laps to go. She happened to turn her defensive move into a race victory.
"I was working just to establish it and then I decided with four laps to go to just kind of sit on and save it for the sprint," Schneider said. "Cath was doing a pretty good job keeping it moving."
The duo expanded the gap from 16 seconds to 22 with five laps remaining, as the field sat up and decided to focus on field sprint position for third place.
"My team just did an amazing job," Kiesanowski said. "We had it lined up with one lap to go. We had four riders on the front, so we couldn't ask for a better lead out, really. There was definitely some fighting going on over the back straights. But I managed to get my leadout's wheel so I just held on for the finish."
Cheatley sat on the front of the field for much of the race before escaping.
"When I was in the break with Sam I knew she was a pretty good sprinter," Cheatley said. "So I knew that if I didn't out sprint her for the finish we'd still get the number one goal of nailing the NRC for the team. So, it worked out well."
Several riders launched attacks earlier on in the race, but nothing stuck. Meghan Guarnier (Tibco) took a flier with 27 to go and expanded the gap to 10 seconds within a few laps before getting caught by the field. Meredith Miller (Tibco) earned an eight-second gap on the sole climb of the course when she attacked up the left side with 23 laps remaining, but Colavita led the chase at the front of the field to reel her back in.
Tibco had extra motivation, as the team's top sprinter, Brooke Miller, donned the team kit for the last time.
"We just really wanted to go out with a bang today," Schneider said.
Allar, who came into Chris Thater wearing the orange and white USA Crits series leaders jersey, said she didn?t plan to win the series.
"It was just something that kind of accumulated after Athens," Allar said. "I ended up third there. I sort of pursued it at Iron Hill, it was kind of local for me based out of my parent's home this summer, and I just made the ticket to go to Grafton and kind of started pursuing the USA Crits Series."
Chris Thater action continues Sunday with the men's race.

Sell: Strong 1Q, But Can This Sharing Formula Continue?
■ Strong 1Q driven by low subsidy — 1QFY10 PAT at Rs48.5bn was above expectations, primarily on account of the lower subsidy burden driving higher net realisations and also lower other expenses. Even though gas sales recovered to 5.1bcm from the slight dip seen in 4Q09, crude sales remain depressed at 5.45MMT vs. FY09 average sales of 5.72MMT. Dry well expense declined from Rs18.6bn in 4Q09 to Rs10.7bn in 1QFY10, but remains high on a yoy basis (Rs5.5bn) due to a structural increase in costs and higher exploration intensity.
■ Subsidy sharing only on auto fuels — ONGC's subsidy burden of Rs4.29bn was in-line with the oil ministry's assertion of upstream sharing for under-recoveries only on auto-fuels. This burden translates into a subsidy discount of US$2.3/bbl, resulting in healthy net realisations on own crude of US$60.6/bbl. While the government has followed up intent with action, it is difficult to extrapolate this for the full year.
■ Government policy continues to be a risk — Even though Petmin has stuck to upstream sharing losses only on auto-fuels in 1Q, the Budget did not make requisite allocations to confirm that. Given that net under-recovery of Rs200bn (gross loss on LPG/SKO of Rs300bn minus oil bonds of Rs100bn) will be too much for the OMCs to bear (esp. when GRMs are likely to stay depressed), we see the risk on ONGC sharing the LPG/SKO subsidy as well is very much intact.
■ Maintain Sell, lacks triggers — ONGC currently trades at 12x Sept-10E P/E, the top end of its historical 7-12x trading band. Any move by the government to fully deregulate auto fuels could take time as it has recently constituted an expert committee for pricing recos. We maintain our Sell (3M) rating.

Public Law No: 108-105 (11/05/2003)
(This measure has not been amended since the Conference Report was filed in the House on September 30, 2003. The summary of that version is repeated here.)
Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 - Amends the Federal criminal code to prohibit any physician or other individual from knowingly performing a partial-birth abortion, except when necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, illness, or injury.
Defines a "partial-birth abortion" as an abortion in which the person performing the abortion: (1) deliberately and intentionally vaginally delivers a living fetus until, in the case of a head-first presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the mother's body, or, in the case of a breech presentation, any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the mother's body; and (2) performs the overt act, other than completion of delivery, that kills the partially delivered living fetus.
Authorizes the father, if married to the mother at the time of the abortion, and the maternal grandparents of the fetus, if the mother is under 18 years of age, to obtain specified relief in a civil action, unless the pregnancy resulted from the plaintiff's criminal conduct or the plaintiff consented to the abortion.
Authorizes a defendant accused of an offense under this Act to seek a hearing before the State Medical Board on whether the physician's conduct was necessary to save the life of the mother.
Prohibits the prosecution of a woman upon whom a partial-birth abortion is performed for conspiracy to violate this Act or under provisions regarding punishment as a principal or an accessory or for concealment of a felony.

We headed to the stick home on Friday morning and spent a bit of time working on it. It's coming along very slowly due to my health right now.
We spent Sat/Sun enjoying our grandkids. This time grandma stayed awake. We had a great time and they seem to enjoy staying in our new place. Toby is sporting a orange cast from his broken arm and were praying another surgery will not be necessary.
Hailey laying on our bed enjoying her Ds while watching TV .. we had a great time with our precious babies and after they went home we left to go back to the camper for some much needed R & R.
As I have mentioned before our traveling days are being put on hold until further notice. We are staying put to help get things straightened out with family. I hope you continue to stop by once in awhile as I will try to post now and again although I know not traveling the blog seems to get boring.
I have not been feeling well and not only with the neck, shoulder and back, but also with my MS. I'm just exhausted and sleep is what I want to do all the time. My sister is doing better and thanks for all the prayers.

The celebration of the 200th birthday of the nation's 16th president is to begin with Knox College's 2008 graduation and end after the 2009 commencement address.
Festivities for Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday will last a year in Galesburg.
Mayor Gary Smith named members to the Galesburg Lincoln Bicentennial Commission last year, and the group has been making plans for marking the 16th president's birthday since.
The yearlong celebration will start with Knox College's commencement address at the 2008 graduation, said Karrie Heartlein, Knox College's director of public relations. It will end after the 2009 commencement address.
"It seems to fit for us," she said. "Lincoln was here at Knox. The Lincoln-Douglas debates were here at Knox."
Old Main, built in 1857, is the only site of the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates that is still standing. The college also plans to celebrate the sesquicentennial of the debates during 2008.
Knox students have submitted their list of 10 candidates for commencement speaker for the 2008 graduation ceremony, Heartlein said. President Roger Taylor is working on scheduling one of those choices now.
"If they choose someone who fits in with the Lincoln theme, we would be thrilled, but it's their commencement," Heartlein said.
The commission is making plans for the Knox-Galesburg Symphony to perform Civil War music selections and for a possible debate by Lincoln and Douglas re-enactors. Heartlein said members are also talking to an author about something to mark the event.
"We are hoping to produce a children's book," she said.
Galesburg High School will take part in the celebration by offering 16 junior and senior students a year-long interdisciplinary seminar course. The students will travel to Springfield, New Salem and other sites to study Lincoln, said Joel Estes, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction for the Galesburg school district.
"We really want this to be an upper level course," Estes said. He hopes a diverse mix of students will take the course, including some with strong writing skills.
The students will produce a "Galesburg and Abe Lincoln" Web site as part of their study.
The Galesburg Lincoln Bicentennial Commission will launch a Web site soon at www.galesburgslincoln.org which will include a schedule of activities for the celebration.

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and the Workforce held the chamber's first hearing on school safety since the tragic events in Newtown, Connecticut in which 26 young students and educators were killed by gunfire.
The six witnesses, who represented a range of perspectives, all agreed that arming teachers was not the best way of addressing school safety and instead proposed ideas that focused on addressing the mental health needs of students; building strong relationships with students, families and the community; collaboration with school resource offices; and addressing the high caseloads of school counselors and other professionals.
CEC, in collaboration with its division the Council for Children with Behavioral Disorders (CCBD), submitted Congressional Testimony which calls on policymakers to address four key areas, many of which were highlighted at today's hearing:
- School safety policy proposals should use an interdisciplinary approach that reinforces a partnership between education, juvenile justice, mental health, social welfare, and community engagement systems;
- School safety policy proposals should require implementation of evidence based practices that address prevention and response while ameliorating the stigma associated with mental illness;
- School safety policy proposals should focus on the impact of mental health challenges on students' social, educational, and employment outcomes; and
- School safety policy proposals should confront and remedy the national shortage of special educators and specialized instructional support personnel who are trained to address the complex needs of students with mental health difficulties.
Additionally, the CEC/CCBD testimony provides practical steps policymakers can take to put these recommendations into action, such as supporting increased professional development for all school personnel; embracing whole school reforms that reinforce the important role of having a positive school climate and the collection of data and analysis tools to study and respond to school climate information; and addressing the national shortage of special educators and specialized instructional support personnel.
Over the last two months, various proposals by the Obama Administration and Congress have been put forth to address gun violence and to promote safety in schools and the community. CEC and CCBD are committed to working with lawmakers to promote policies and meaningful actions not only to address violence in schools and communities but to create solutions rooted in safety, prevention and an interdisciplinary approach.

Serious Reads: White Jacket Required, by Jenna Weber
All products linked here have been independently selected by our editors. We may earn a commission on purchases, as described in our affiliate policy.
For Jenna Weber, food has always been a comfort. She pens the blog Eat Live Run, which provides recipes, stories about Weber's life, and now plenty of advertising for her memoir, White Jacket Required: A Culinary Coming-of-Age Story. In this book, she discusses how heading to culinary school helped her find her way through important and difficult life decisions, and ultimately led her to a meaningful career and relationship.
After college, Weber realized she wanted to be a food writer, but in her mind, this career necessitated knowledge of all the ins and outs of cooking. She began her journey in food writing with her blog, which she used to keep family and friends updated on her experiences at Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in Florida. She specialized in baking and pastry at LCB, which landed her externships at bakeries and restaurants post-graduation. Her intention was never to become a chef or professional cook—something that perplexed many of her fellow classmates and co-workers. Rather, she graduated with a few culinary tricks up her sleeve and an ability to talk intelligently about food and cooking.
Her first few jobs were difficult. She hostessed part-time, worked the morning shift in a bread show, went without sleep and struggled to see her path through the fog of everyday work. Her long-time boyfriend was in another city, and their relationship was beginning to strain under her complicated schedule and lack of desire to move to Tampa to be with him. And in the middle of it all, her younger brother—who Jenna hadn't talked about much until this point in the book—died in a freak accident.
In the aftermath of her brother's death, Weber completely broke down. She mourned intensely and intimately with her family, and after several months of living with her soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend, decided it was time to move on to a new phase in her life. She took a job in California writing about wine, and without much preparation packed up her life and moved. The book ends with her boarding a plane, hopeful and optimistic about the future.
Weber's writing style is narrative in focus. On the one hand, this makes the book feel very conversational. The reader is carried along the ups and downs of Weber's life throughout her early twenties, and her stories are personal and sometimes intense. Her recounting of her younger brother's sudden death is jarring and powerful in the context of an otherwise fluffy, happy-go-lucky book.
But more often, Weber's stories lack some universality. Her stories are uniquely hers: great for a blog, but a bit limited for a full-length book. Though some pieces of White Jacket Required are meaningful and lasting, most of the book reads more like a string of blog posts than a cohesive book. I'd check out Weber's website to get a sense for her tone and background before investing in a copy of her memoir.

| 12.2°C Belfast
Police have again sealed off part of Newcastle University in connection with "suspicious items" found earlier this week.
Two 18-year-old Russian students studying at the university were arrested after bomb disposal units were called in and a controlled explosion was carried out.
Northumbria Police said this morning another cordon has been put in place.
A police spokesman said: "This is in connection with the original investigation at Newcastle University."
Students and staff were evacuated from the INTO building after concern was raised on Tuesday and specialist officers were called in.
Roads around the building were closed off and a bomb disposal robot was seen entering the premises.
Yesterday Dr John Hogan, Registrar at Newcastle University, said they had excellent security arrangements in place.
"We'd like to reassure staff and current and prospective students that our main campus is open as usual today," he said.
"We would reiterate that our campus is very safe.
"We have excellent security arrangements in place at the university and that allowed us to deal with the issue very quickly."
Chief Superintendent Laura Young said: "Police are continuing to investigate the incident at Newcastle University on Tuesday June 10.
"Two men aged 18 arrested in connection with this investigation remain in custody helping with enquiries.
"Overnight a small amount of a potentially suspicious substance has been recovered from the same location and will be removed from the building in due course. The building has temporarily been evacuated as a precaution and EOD are in attendance at the university building.
"The ongoing activity is necessary to support the investigation, which centres around explosive offences linked to substances recovered from the university.
"We're working closely with Newcastle University to keep disruption to a minimum for staff, students and members of the public.
"We must stress that this is the usual procedure in such investigations."

NEW YORK (AP) — A mix of good and bad quarterly earnings news from big U.S. companies kept the stock market flipping between small gains and losses in afternoon trading Tuesday.
Better earnings from big banks, health insurers and other companies have helped drive the stock market higher this month. But corporate profits gave investors little direction on Tuesday. Wendy's and United Technologies rose after posting better results than financial analysts expected. Netflix and the Altria Group, maker of Marlboro cigarettes, fell after their results came up short.
"In the absence of major economic news, the focus is on earnings this week," said David Joy, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial. "And there's nothing today to drive the market dramatically one way or another."
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 42 points, or 0.3 percent, to 15,588 as of 2:45 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index dipped one point, less than 0.1 percent, to 1,695. The Nasdaq composite fell 12 points, or 0.3 percent, to 3,589.
United Technologies led the 30 big stocks in the Dow, climbing $3.44, or 3 percent, to $105.56. The conglomerate said strong orders for its Otis elevator business in China and commercial airline parts helped lift sales and profits.
Wendy's jumped 74 cents, or 11 percent, to $7.41. The fast-food company's net income came in above Wall Street's expectations. Wendy's also announced plans to sell 425 restaurants as franchises and raised its quarterly dividend by a penny to 5 cents.
It's a busy day for earnings, with 35 companies in the S&P 500 scheduled to turn in results. The scorecard for the second quarter looks good so far. More than six out of every 10 companies have posted earnings that surpassed Wall Street's expectations, according to S&P Capital IQ.
Analysts forecast that second-quarter earnings for companies in the S&P 500 increased 3.8 percent over the same period last year.
Marlboro maker Altria Group said higher prices and lower expenses from a legal settlement offset a drop in cigarette sales and helped the company post an increase in profits, but the results still fell short of analysts' expectations. Altria's stock sank 86 cents, or 2 percent, to $36.02.
Netflix dropped $9.49, or 4 percent, to $252.64. The company said late Monday that it signed up fewer subscribers than financial analysts had projected. Big expectations have propelled Netflix's stock up 172 percent since the start of the year, adding more pressure on the company to deliver amazing numbers.
In the market for U.S. government bonds, the rate on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.50 percent from 2.48 percent late Monday. Long-term interest rates have swung in a wide range since May, a result of traders speculating over when the Federal Reserve will begin pulling back on its bond-buying program.
The rate on the 10-year note, a benchmark for most loans, was trading at 1.61 percent on May 1. It reached as high as 2.75 percent by the second week of July.

Imagine being able to shift smoothly at any time, no matter what. We're talking full-power shifts. Up, down, whatever the trail demands. The benefit of the X-Glide drivetrain is simple, yet, when you think about it, incredibly impactful to the way you ride. Flawless shifting means you'll never again compromise your speed and power in unpredictable off-road terrain.
Here's how they did it: TRUVATIV's crank engineers threw away the old standards and developed a new chainring geometry from the ground up. They precisely paired the different-sized chainrings and redesigned where and how the chain engages with the rings. By aligning the chainring pick-up rivets to the chain pivot pin—rather than the middle of the chain link—you get double the shift opportunities. No more missed shifts, ever.
X-Glide puts you in THE RIGHT GEAR, right now.

There's a big difference between counting calories and computing them — the same way there's a distinction between hearing and listening.
The "calorie conundrum" is among the top findings in a joint survey released just today by the Food Marketing Institute and Prevention magazine. Nearly half (43%) of consumers polled said they're paying more attention to calorie counts than they were two years ago.
To be sure, counting calories is as old as food itself, but the researchers here point out that more shoppers than ever are demonstrating an increased level of concern about the nutritional content of what they eat. The poll shows that one-quarter of shoppers are buying more low- or zero-calorie products than last year.
But dig down a bit and the true picture is revealed. In picking apart the number of calorie counters, Shopping for Health 2010 reveals that more attention to calories does not necessarily translate into action (or more precision, for that matter). Apparently, a majority of shoppers "just loosely" monitor their caloric intake:
• 9% are diligent about the calories they consume;
• 50% say they "just watch" their calories;
• 41% don't watch at all.
"While many American's are paying more attention to calories, they have a long way to go towards knowing how many they consume in an average day," said Cary Silvers, the director of consumer insights at Prevention. "This is the next line of opportunity in calorie management."
Silvers is talking to supermarket retailers here, and we all know they've responded in a number of ways. As a result, shoppers have a host of options when they walk down the aisle:
• 58% swap by opting for the healthier version of a product;
• 52% switch one product for a healthier alternative;
• 47% stop buying less-healthy products;
• 47% continue buying less-healthy products, just eat less or smaller portions;
• 46% start buying healthy products not purchased before.
"This research is extremely valuable as supermarkets promote the health and wellness of their customers as a central part of their mission," said Leslie G. Sarasin, FMI's president and CEO. "Most important, it tells us what consumers need to learn about eating healthy foods."
Sarasin goes on to list some of the tools supermarkets have developed to market wellness, including dietitians, store tours, cooking classes and other educational programs. But only consumers themselves can change the way they look at — and tally — calories.

Germany's 12th Man at the World Cup: Big Data
As Germany prepares for Sunday's World Cup final against Argentina, it will have Big Data on its side.
To gain a competitive edge, the team partnered with German software giant SAP AG to create a custom match analysis tool that collects and analyzes massive amounts of player performance data.
The tool, called Match Insights, analyzes video data from on-field cameras capable of capturing thousands of data points per second, including player position and speed. That data then goes into an SAP database that runs analytics and allows coaches to target performance metrics for specific players and give them feedback via their mobile devices.
A focus for the German team this year was speed, said Nicolas Jungkind, SAP's head of soccer sponsorships. Using Match Insights, the team was able to analyze stats about average possession time and cut it down from 3.4 seconds to about 1.1 seconds, he said. The tool allowed them to identify and visualize the change and show it to coaches, players and scouts. "That then goes into the game philosophy of the German team. What is apparent is the aggressive style Germany plays."
That style of play was evident Tuesday in Germany's 7-1 victory over Brazil, which included three goals scored in a span of 179 seconds. "Despite possessing the ball for 52% of Tuesday's game, Brazil created barely a handful of chances," the Journal's Jonathan Clegg wrote. "In contrast, Germany passed the ball at full speed to create holes in the defense and clinically took advantage."
The tool also allows coaches to determine performance indicators for individual players, which they can then send to teammates' mobile devices. If a coach wanted to adjust Thomas Mueller's speed, position or possession time, for example, he could send those stats and a video clip from that day's game to Mueller's cellphone. Players can also take a look at their performance data at a setup in the players' lounge.
The tool is giving the German coaches in Brazil the ability "to crawl through complex video and make it simple for them to know what they need to win," said Chris Burton, SAP's group vice president for global sponsorships.
When it comes to positioning on the field, Match Insights can show the team virtual "defensive shadows" that show how much area a player can protect with his own body, Mr. Jungkind said. That can help them visualize and exploit weak links in an opponent's setup.
Soccer is among the growing list of sports being transformed by Big Data (Moneyball is probably an outdated reference at this point). The use of data and statistics to gain a competitive advantage has grown across a wide range of sports including basketball, tennis, and even, just a little bit, Ultimate Frisbee.
When not watching their own tapes during the World Cup, the German team was studying up on the performance of its competitors. "We also have a lot of qualitative data for the opposition available," German team general manager Oliver Bierhoff said in an interview with ESPN this week. "Jérôme Boateng asked to look at the way Cristiano Ronaldo moves in the box, to use another example. And before the game against France, we saw that the French were very concentrated in the middle but left spaces on the flanks because their full-backs didn't push up properly. So we targeted those areas."
Before it walloped Brazil earlier this week, the German team had spent years working with university students to gather intel on the home team, Reuters reports. Working with sports students at a university in Cologne, they reviewed an extensive dataset that included how Brazil's players reacted in pressure situations, their preferred routes and how they responded when fouled.
The Match Insights tool is exclusive to the German team right now, but SAP has plans to sell it more broadly in the future. "We are all about supporting our home team right now," said Mr. Burton. "After this we'll want to maximize what we think is a credible tool for sport." There's no public timeline, he said, but the tool "will become a product I'm sure in Q4."

Gas line rupture forces Independence motel evacuation
Most guests stay overnight after gas service shut off
Officials have evacuated an Independence motel after a rupture in a natural gas line.
Emergency crews said they were called to the Quality Inn and Suites at Interstate 70 and Noland Road after the 3-inch line ruptured about 6:40 p.m.
Firefighters said the rupture could have ruptured because of the heavy snow.
Crews came to the scene and shut off the gas.
"We were sitting here and heard a loud boom and we thought it was snow coming falling off the roof, and then all of a sudden we looked outside and saw a big pipe line and thought, 'Oh it was the guttering,' and then we looked again and said, 'No, that's not guttering,' and we started to go look for it and we could smell the gas coming through the hotel," said Jucunda Lorenz of the Quality Inn and Suites.
People at the hotel said the gas leak and explosion at J.J.'s restaurant near the Plaza last week was fresh on their minds.
About 50 people at the hotel were given the option of transferring to another hotel or staying for the night and using electric heaters. The motel said all but one guest chose to stay.
No injuries have been reported.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Max Ashton had one goal before heading off to college: swim from Alcatraz Island to Aquatic Park in San Francisco.
The blind, 17-year-old high school senior in Phoenix, Ariz., completed the trek on Sunday along with two other sightless swimmers.
"It's just good to show people I can do everything, really," Ashton told the San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/19iflgg) after he made the 1.25-mile swim across San Francisco Bay. Ashton has previously climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, crossed the Grand Canyon and thrown out the first pitch at a major league ball game.
He was accompanied on the swim by 24-year-old Tanner Robinson, who works in state government in Arizona, and 19-year-old Katie Cuppy, a freshman at Northern Arizona University.
The three blind athletes were guided by sighted swimmers Mike and Paul Tiffany, both of Phoenix.
The challenge when swimming blind is staying on course. But Robinson said there's also an advantage
"The nice thing about being blind is you don't know where the finish line is," he said. "It was just like another training."
Robinson trained for the swim at Lake Pleasant in Arizona. He finished it in an hour and 16 minutes.
Cuppy came in eight minutes after him.
Ashton finished the swim in a little more than 50 minutes. He was born with a rare eye disease that left him with only a fraction of his peripheral vision, The Arizona Republic reported (http://bit.ly/1dSllS1).
The event was organized by the Foundation for Blind Children in Phoenix, which also organized the Mount Kilimanjaro and Grand Canyon trips, according to the Republic.
Robinson told the newspaper the swim showed there are no barriers for people with visual impairments.
"Hopefully, there are people out there who will (see this and) take more challenges themselves just in their daily lives," he said.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Max Ashton had one goal before heading off to college: swim from Alcatraz Island to Aquatic Park in San Francisco.

In a press release that went largely unnoticed last month (hat tip: GamePolitics), the Department of Justice announced indictments against ten individuals that were the subject of a nationwide raid targeting alleged video game console mod chip suppliers and sellers conducted nearly five years ago.
The ten individuals, who hail from Florida, New York, Texas, Ohio, Illinois, and Massachusetts, were the focus of "Operation Tangled Web," an industry-aided effort undertaken by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency in the summer of 2007. They've been charged with violating the Digital Millenium Copyright Act by trafficking in mod chips for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii, Xbox, and Xbox 360, devices prosecutors say are "primarily designed to circumvent technological measures designed to effectively control access to a work copyrighted under Title 17 of the United States Code, for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain."
But defenders note that console mod chips have extensive legal uses as well, including the ability to let users run homebrew code, legal backups, and imported games on their hardware. For this reason, last year the Electronic Frontier Foundation formally requested (PDF) that the US Copyright Office exempt mod chips from DMCA enforcement, much as it has excepted "jailbroken" smartphones since 2010. A final ruling on that request is expected later this year.
In 2009, following an ICE investigation, Anaheim resident Matthew Lloyd Crippen became the first person to face DMCA charges for installing mod chips on the Xbox 360. Those charges were later dropped, thanks to issues surrounding the prosecution use of evidence.

Fans attending rapper Danny Brown's concert Friday night in Minneapolis got a bit more than they probably bargained for when a female fan appeared to give the musician oral sex while he was on stage.
Brown was playing the city's Triple Rock Social Club as part of The Old & Reckless tour when he invited some female fans to get closer to him, according to AllHipHop. However, one fan took that offer far further as others looked on. This NSFW photo that various publications have been linking to should clarify what happened.
One concertgoer near the front row explained what transpired with female fans grabbing at Brown's crotch before one lady flashed the musician before performing fellatio on him.
"Then I'm behind her and I start getting pushed against her by the crowd shifting," the fan wrote. "It horrible and i hope you guys will be donating to my future therapy sessions but also i came back with a story. He rapped the entire time during too."
Story Continues After The Slideshow
The Toronto Sun reports rapper Kendrick Lamar tweeted Brown rather incredulously about the event.
Danny Brown, who has since deleted his reply, tweeted back: "<<<- and didn't miss one bar bruh bruh."
There's no word if police are investigating the incident, but Brown has made no follow-up reference to the incident via his Twitter account. It didn't stop one fan from speaking her mind regarding what happened.
"@XDannyXBrownX you are a disgusting pig ! Just wanted to let you know in case you didn't..!" a Montreal lady with the twitter handle SicaTheSickest tweeted.
There may have been some foreshadowing of this participatory theater. Prior to the Minneapolis show one female fan tweeted her own specific Brown-related aspirations.
Last February Brown — whose tour continues tomorrow night in Atlanta — made headlines along with A$AP Rocky while appearing on Kathy Griffin's late night talk show. Brown kissed Griffin's stomach while A$AP Rocky groped the host.

I've been reflecting on the myths of slenderman and ancient races of giant humans.
People have claimed to see slenderman, even though the guy who originally posted a picture of slenderman that he later said he had faked.
Even though some say the idea of an ancient race giant humans is all myth, you can still see extremely tall humans in different races. These people are often plagued with health problems.
I'd like to speculate that if there was an ancient race of such huge people, then perhaps they died out for the most part because of genetic, environmental and/or disease-related problems. When they originated, there may have been geophysical conditions that allowed them to prosper. When these conditions started to go away, they could have sickened and mostly died off, while smaller races of people could do just fine.
Here's an interesting link about giants:
Any thoughts?

On Thursday night, winners of MTV's "American Idiot" contest were not only treated to a great show — but a surprise mini concert by Green Day, who took the stage to play "American Idiot" and "Basket Case." So, all in all, it was a pretty great night.
"I think I had heart failure! It was the most amazing experience," contest winner Fallyn Ruzzi told MTV News following the show. "I mean, the play was great, and then Green Day played songs, too!"
Ruzzi was just one of the 300 lucky winners who flocked to New York's St. James Theater hours before the performance was even scheduled to begin, waited in line to pick up their tickets to the musical, and then got to witness a post-show performance by Green Day. It took most of the audience completely by surprise.
"We had heard Green Day weren't even going to be here," Ruzzi said. "It was amazing when they came out!"
But what did Ruzzi — and other winners — think of the show itself? Well, as one might expect, they were blown away by the production. But, like most hard-core Green Day fans, when they first heard the band was taking "Idiot" to Broadway, she had her doubts.
"I didn't like the idea of Green Day coming to Broadway at first — I thought it was a bad idea," Ruzzi said. "But then I heard the songs from the Berkeley Rep [performances] and I just fell in love with it."
Echoing those sentiments was Ruzzi's friend — and fellow Green Day enthusiast — Toni Ann Graffigna, who was also skeptical of the album coming to the Great White Way. After seeing the show, she's now firmly a believer.
"I wasn't that crazy about the idea at first, but it's Green Day, you gotta give it a chance," she said. "The whole show touched my heart. I would see it every day, if I could. I almost cried ... I'd recommend everyone to see it, even if you don't like Green Day, just come out and see it."

Seattle: Serious Pie's Cherry-Bomb Pepper and Sausage Pizza Is the ...
Serious Pie
316 Virginia Street, Seattle WA 98101 (map); 206-838-7388; website
Pizza Style: Artisanal
Oven Type: Wood-fired
The Skinny: The crust is soft and incredibly airy but takes most of its crispness from a dusting of
cornmealsemolina. The Margherita is good, but the real thing to get here is the sausage-and-cherry-bomb-pepper pie. It's amazing.
Price: $14 to $16. Happy hour half-pies are $5 M–F, 3–5 p.m.
After 48 hours of reminiscing, hanging out with old friends, and eating a boatload of pizza in Portland, my next stop was Seattle, aka Jet City, aka the Emerald City, aka the place that, as I saw it, would begin to kick my pizza-eating ass on what I had taken to calling "Pizza Madness 2009."
I viewed Portland as the calm before the storm. The place to ease into what would soon become a whirlwind of pizza-sampling on the West Coast. The City of Roses is pretty damn easy to get around via public transit. Plus, I had friends there who I'd assumed I could hitch rides with as long as I Tom Sawyered them into the pizza madness themselves. So I had a fairly relaxing visit and did some memory-lane sightseeing in the morning hours before my destination pizzerias opened for the day.
But I only had one day in Seattle.
One day for four pizzerias, some of them seemingly far-flung, and I was using a public-transportation system I was unfamiliar with. Luckily, the first lunchtime option, Serious Pie, was half a block from my hotel.
I arrived shortly after the place opened and was surprised to find a fairly quiet restaurant, especially given what Daniel Zemans said about the place--that it was packed with a 20-person wait at 4:30 p.m. when he visited.
Still, the communal tables started to fill up shortly after I was seated (lucky enough, at my own two-top table right next to a window providing beautiful shooting light).
I ordered what would become my MO for the trip, a Margherita pie and then some sort of house specialty or sausage pie. Here, the house specialty and sausage pie seemed to be one and the same: Cherry Bomb Peppers and Sweet Fennel Sausage.
The pizzas at Serious Pie are ovals about 12 inches long and seven inches at their widest. They've got an insanely puffy end crust, charred in places and dotted with pizza bubbles and pizza-bubble blowouts. The dough is extremely soft, which means that where the crust is topped, the additional ingredients seem to weigh it down enough that there's not much rise in the center. But that same soft elasticity gives those outer edges an airiness the likes of which I would not see again on this journey until Pizzeria Mozza in L.A. Here's the hole-structure shot:
Pies here are baked in a wood-burning oven with a massive post-and-lintel rock façade that looks like something out of Fraggle Rock:
It's an oven to make Gimli feel right at home. And here is the type of upskirt it helps produce:
As for flavor in the Margherita, there's not a whole lot. It's very subtle, especially with the use of buffalo mozzarella. Most of the flavor in this round seemed to come from the
cornmealsemolina dusting on the crust and from the sauce, which was well-seasoned when I had it (though it left my friend Adam Lindsley unenthused when he visited almost a week later). The addition of olive oil also enhanced the overall taste of the pie.
I know I said that Marherita pizzas are boring, and this one hasn't really haunted my dreams the way its sister pizza (below) still does, but it did have a bit more savoriness and bready flavor than many of the more traditional Neapolitan Margherita pies I sampled on this journey.
My server told me that his favorite was the Margherita but that the most popular pizza was the Cherry Bomb and Sweet Fennel Sausage pie. As the joint filled up, I heard diner after diner order it. And it really is the thing to get here. The hot peppers and house-made sausage are a perfect combination, all distributed in a perfect Goldilocks ratio — not too much, not too little. The same could be said of the balance overall.
I carried the leftovers around with me for a while, sneaking another piece of the pepper-sausage pizza long after it had grown cold. And the crust held up remarkably well, probably due to the airiness and lift. It was still soft and pliant. I'm guessing this would make a great morning-after pizza.
Although I wouldn't know, since I ended up giving my leftovers to a street person, who then in turn offered to sell me crack for $2. And who then opened the box and yelled to me as I crossed the street, "WHAT'S THIS? I'M NOT GONNA EAT THIS. THIS IS GROSS!"
Just finished Tom Douglas's Serious Pie. Excellent. Gave leftovers to a crazy homeless man who tried to sell me crack for two bucks
Which prompted @cks56 to respond:
@Slice Thanks for giving your leftovers to the homeless guy but please don't use the word Crazy The guy may have a serious Mental Illness
But, heck, you'd have to be crazy not to love that Cherry Bomb pizza. So I think I'm in the clear here.

A takedown is the technique of getting your opponent off balance and taking them to the ground, generally landing on top. This is most often done by taking their legs out from under them after driving in like a football tackle. This is known as "shooting".
Other takedowns include body locks and leg trips. These are also used frequently but you are most likely going to see a fighter "shoot" for the takedown rather then attempt a leg trip.
GSP's takedowns are nothing unique. They are very explosive but they are still just a takedown. GSP focuses on making his opponents off balance before attempting the takedowns. He baits them into thinking they are having a striking contest and he shoots in. A good example of this is when he fought Thiago Alves. GSP threw an out of range jab so Alves would lean back to avoid it and he capitalized on Alves off balance position and drove in for a successful takedown.
Jon Jones is an entirely different animal. He uses a lot of clinch takedowns, throws and leg trips. Having the size,strength and technique advantage helps too. He dislocated Hamills shoulder with a leg trip, and a good one at that. Hamill flipped near upside down, landing on and dislocating his shoulder. This of course led to Jones illegal elbows and his only loss.
Judo is not a big part in MMA because it doesnt translate well into it. A few have failed to stay at the top using this art. The one person who has been continuously successful with Judo is Ronda Rousey. Ronda uses hip throws and leg trips to get her opponents to the mat and then its the same old story. Rousey doesn't have much in the way of striking offense or defense, so her judo has been the deciding factor in every fight.
Josh Thomson uses a leg trip that I never see coming. Since it is successful most of the time, I guess his opponents don't either. He used it most recently in the later rounds of Melendez 3 and is successful, it also secures the round for him.
Scoring takedowns in MMA is a controversial subject that always seems to end in argument. Some say if you can put your opponent on his back and nullify him, you deserve the round. Others say holding is not winning.
Cain Velasquez is known for his relentless takedowns and ground-and-pound. Never a dull fight, he doesn't give his opponent a second to breathe. Wrestlers such as Ben Askren, Jon Fitch and occasionally GSP are hated due to their "blanket" style, keeping the opponent warm until the buzzer sounds. They have had fighters so gassed by Round 3 yet refuse to go for the sub. It is fighters like these that cause the arguments. They will be losing the battle on the feet,drag the opponent down and keep them there for the majority of the round. When the opponent finally gets back up, they go for an immediate takedown.
I can only imagine the hardship for the judges. I've always wondered what their criteria is for takedowns.
Many fighters complain about the decisions. "I guess a couple BS takedowns go a long way!" In the end, this is the fight game and if you have something that works..use it.

Not Literally Productions has been creating a series of anthemic music videos for each of the houses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, rewriting pop songs for Hufflepuffs and Slytherins. Harry Potter's own Gryffindor House is the latest to get the song-and-dance treatment, to the tune of Katy Perry's "California Girls."
Outfitted in their red and gold for the latest Quidditch match, the Gryffindors really do look like and Abercrombie and Fitch catalogue. The Hufflepuffs seemed much more fun in their Lady Gaga video:
And the Slytherins were, well, glittery and evil while dancing to Ke$ha:
Currently, Not Literally is at the tail end of an IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign to finance their first Game of Thrones video, celebrating the show's numerous character deaths with a rewriting of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know." If you enjoy their videos, maybe throw a few dollars their way.
