This gorgeous cake is basically made up of layers of stacked, chocolaty cookies and fluffy whipped cream. Placing the cake in the cake into the freezer after its been assembled allows the cookies to soften, creating a melt-in-your-mouth confection perfect for Shavuot!! This wonderful dessert takes some time to make, but each step is simple on its own… and the end result is well worth it!! Enjoy! Shirley
Chocolate Wafers:
- 2-¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup+2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1-3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 21 tablespoons unsalted butter, slightly softened
- 4 1/2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Combine the flour, cocoa, sugar, salt, and baking soda in the bowl of food processor and pulse several times to mix thoroughly. Cut the butter into about 12 chunks and add them to the bowl. Pulse several times. Combine the milk and vanilla in a small cup. With the processor running, add the milk mixture and continue to process until the mixture clumps around the blade or the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a large bowl or a cutting board and knead a few times to make sure it is evenly blended.
Form the dough into a log about 14 inches long and 1 3/4 inches in diameter. Wrap the log in wax paper or foil and refrigerate until firm, at least one hour, or until needed.
Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut the log of dough into slices a scant 1/4-inch thick (I went thinner, closer to 1/8 of inch. If you're trying to emulate store-bought wafers, slice as thin as you can, and watch the baking time carefully, as it might be less.) and place them one inch apart on the lined sheets (cookies will spread). Bake, rotating the baking sheet from top to bottom and back to front about halfway through baking, for a total of 12 to 15 minutes. The cookies will puff up and deflate; they are done about 1 1/2 minutes after they deflate.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheets on racks, or slide the parchment onto racks to cool completely. These cookies may be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks or be frozen for up to two months.
Note: These cookies should crisp as they cool. If they don't, you're not baking them long enough — in which case, return them to the oven to reheat and bake a little longer, then cool again.
To Assemble:
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Unsweetened cocoa (or chocolate shavings)
In a large bowl, beat cream, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
On a flat serving plate, arrange 7 cookies side by side in a circle, keeping 1 cookie in the center.
Spread with 1/2 cup whipped cream, making a 7-inch circle. Repeat with remaining cookies and cream, making 11 layers of cookies and ending with a layer of cream (there will be a few cookies left over). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
To serve, dust top lightly with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings or sugar flowers

Brown, Hallie Q.
" One of the ablest advocates of the Underground Railroad and of the Slave ."
Frances Ellen Watkins was born in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, in 1825, not of slave parentage but subjected to the oppressive influence which bond and free alike endured under slave laws. Her childhood days were desolate. Sentences from her own pen express the loneliness of those days. "Have I yearned for a mother's love? The grave was my robber. Before three years had scattered their blight around my path death had won my mother from me. Would the strong arm of a brother have been welcome? I was my mother's only child."
She fell into the hands of an aunt who watched over her during those early helpless years. Rev. William Watkins, an uncle taught a school in Baltimore for free colored children to which she was sent until she was thirteen years of age.
After this period she was put out to work to earn her own living. She had many trials to endure, but she evinced an ardent thirst for knowledge and a remarkable talent for composition. This talent was recognized through an article which she wrote, at fourteen years of age, and which attracted the attention of the lady in whose family she was employed. In this situation she was taught sewing, took care of the children, and at the same time, through the kindness of her employer, her thirst for books was satisfied from occasional half hours of leisure. She was noted for her industry and in a few years had written a number of prose and poetic selections which were deemed of sufficient merit to be published in a small volume called "Autumn Leaves."
Some of her productions found their way into the newspapers and evoked considerable comment. The ability exhibited in some of her productions was so remarkable that some doubted and others denied their originality. Happily many are extent and may be read by all. Her mind was of a strictly religious cast, the effusions from her pen are of a high moral and elevating tone.
About the year 1850 she left Baltimore to seek a home in a free state and resided in Ohio. Here she was called to teach domestic science, being the first colored woman to do vocational work in Columbus, at Union Seminary, with Rev. John M. Brown (late Bishop) as principal. It may be interesting to note here that Union Seminary with its location changed to near Xenia became Wilberforce University. We next find her teaching in Little York, Pennsylvania, but she was sorely oppressed with the thought of conditions of her people in Maryland.
Not infrequently she gave utterances to such expressions as the following: "Not that we have not a right to breathe the air as freely as anybody else in Baltimore, but we are treated worse than aliens among a people whose language we speak, whose religion we profess and whose blood flows and mingles in our veins. Homeless in the land of our birth and worse off than strangers in the home of our nativity."
During her stay in Little York she had frequent opportunities of seeing the fleeing slaves on the Underground Railroad. Alluding to a traveler she wrote--"I saw a passenger by the Underground Railroad. Notwithstanding that abomination of the nineteenth century, the Fugitive Slave Law, men still determine to be free. Notwithstanding all the darkness in which they keep slaves, it seems that somehow light is dawning upon their minds. These poor fugitives are a property that can walk. Just to think that from the rainbow crowned Niagara to the swollen waters of the Mexican Gulf, from the restless murmur of the Atlantic to the ceaseless roar of the Pacific, the poor, half-starved, flying
While plying her vocation as a teacher in Little York, she was deeply engrossed in thought as to how she could best promote the welfare of her race. It happened that just about this time she was moved to enter the Anti-Slavery field as a lecturer, substantially by the following circumstances: About the year 1853 Maryland, her native state, had enacted a law forbidding free people of color from the north to come into the state on pain of being imprisoned and sold into slavery. A free man who had unwittingly violated this infamous statute, had recently been imprisoned and sold into slavery. A free man who had unwittingly violated and had escaped thence by secreting himself behind the wheel house of a boat bound northward; but before he reached the desired haven he was discovered and remanded to slavery. It was reported that he died soon after from the effects of exposure and suffering. Referring to this outrage, Mrs. Harper thus wrote: "Upon that grave I pledged myself to the Anti-Slavery cause. It may be that God Himself has written upon both my heart and brain a commission to use time, talent and energy in the cause of freedom."
She visited Philadelphia, New Bedford and Boston. She won her way to a favorable position as a lecturer and on September 28, 1854, was engaged by the Anti-Slavery Society of Maine as a permanent lecturer. Every door was opened before her and her gifts were universally recognized as a valuable acquisition to the cause.
For nearly two years she traveled almost continuously in the eastern states, speaking in them with marked success. The following extract clipped from the Portland (Maine) Daily Press respecting the lecture she was invited to deliver after the War by the Mayor, Mr. Washburn, is a fair sample of the many notices from this section of the country.
"She spoke for nearly an hour and a half, her subject being 'The Mission of the War and the Demands of the Colored Race in the Work of Reconstruction' and we have
From Lewis Centre, Ohio, comes this message from her pen--"You have probably heard of the shameful outrage upon a colored boy named Wagner, who was kidnapped in Ohio and carried across the river and sold for a slave. Ohio has become a kind of Negro hunting ground, a new Congo's coast and Guinea's shore. A man was kidnapped almost under the shadow of our capital. Oh, was it not dreadful? Oh, may the living God prepare me for an earnest and faithful advocacy of the cause of justice and right."
In those days the blows struck by the hero John Brown were agitating the nation. Scarcely was it possible for a living soul to be more deeply affected than Mrs. Harper. She gave material aid as well as heartfelt commiseration. She wrote words of sympathy to John Brown's wife and Brown's comrades who lay in prison under sentence of death. "May God, our own God, sustain you in your hour of trial," she wrote. Later she passed two weeks with Mrs. Brown while she was awaiting the execution of her husband and sympathized with her most deeply. An extract from one of her letters shows her great interest in Brown and his comrades: "Poor, doomed and fated men! Has not this suffering been overshadowed by the glory that gathered around the brave old man. Oh, is it not a privilege if you are sisterless and lonely, to be a sister to the human race and to place your heart where it may throb close to down-trodden humanity"?
About this time her health failed and she yearned for
"Make me a grave where'er you will,
In a lowly plain, or a lofty hill,
Make it among earth's humblest graves,
But not in a land where men are slaves."
The tragic and bloody deed which terminated in the capture and death of Margaret Garner in Ohio called forth the following from her pen: "Rome had her altars where the trembling criminal and the worn and weary slave might fly for an asylum; Judea her cities of refuge; but Ohio with her Bibles and churches, her baptisms and prayers, had not one temple so dedicated to human rights, one altar so consecrated to human liberty, that trampled upon and down-trodden innocence knew that it could find protection for a night, or shelter for a day."
In 1860, in the city of Cincinnati, Mrs. Harper was married to Fenton Harper, a widower, and resident of Ohio. As a home maker she was compelled to give up her travels but did not cease from literary and Anti-Slavery labors. Her retirement was of short duration for on May 23, 1864, death deprived her of her husband.
She entered heartily into the cause of freedom being waged in the Civil War and lost no opportunity to speak, write or serve the cause of freedom. She writes: "We may look upon it as God's controversy with the nation, His arising to plead by fire and blood the cause of His poor and needy people." When the long looked for Emancipation Proclamation came Mrs. Harper was in great demand as a platform speaker. In the days of reconstruction she began her
"You would be amused,' she wrote a friend, "to hear some of the remarks which my lectures call forth. 'She is a man,' again "She is not colored, she is white. She is painted.' I am constantly talking and how tired I am some of the time. Still I am standing with my race on the threshold of a new era and though some may be far past me in the learning of the schools, yet today, with my limited and fragmentary knowledge, I may help the race forward a little. Some of our people remind me of sheep without a shepherd. I am going to have a private meeting with the women. I am going to talk with them about their daughters and about things connected with the welfare of the race. Now is the time for our women to begin to try to lift up their heads and plant the roots of progress under the hearthstone."
Grace Greenwood in the New York Independent commenting on a Course of Lectures in which Mrs. Harper spoke in Philadelphia pays tribute to her:
"Next of the course was Mrs. Harper, a colored woman, about as colored as some of the Cuban belles I have met with at Saratoga. She has a noble head, this bronze must; a strong face, with a shadowed glow upon it indicative of thought and of a nature most femininely sensitive, but not in the least morbid. Her form is delicate, her hands daintily small. She stands quietly beside her desk and speaks without notes, with gestures few and fitting. Her manner is marked by dignity and composure. She is never assuming, never theatrical. In the first part of her lecture she was most impressive in her pleading for the race with
Her prose and poetry are extant and attest her literary skill. Among the best known productions are "Moses." A Story of the Nile," "The Dying Bondsman," "Eliza Harris Crossing the Ice." Mrs. Harper was the first woman of the race to write a novel, entitled, "Iola Leroy. The Shadows Uplifted."
After peace was established and for many years prior to her death Mrs. Harper devoted her entire time to the work of temperance. Her grasp and mastery of the subject--her forensic ability and devotion to the cause made her the peer of effective orators of her day. At the World's W. C. T. U. held in Philadelphia, November, 1922, although long since dead, she was accorded a signal honor, when her life-long services were recognized and her name placed on the Red Letter Calendar so that wherever, around the world, the name of Frances E. Willard, the Lady Henry Somerset, with other staunch supporters of temperance are spoken, there too, will be heard the name of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper .

How Fiscal Cliff will affect your home, and what you can do
All tax brackets could be hit if resolution not reached
It's estimated that 90 percent of American households will take a financial hit next year if Congress fails to steer clear of the so-called "fiscal cliff" of big tax increases and spending cuts that will kick in without a deal.
While the rhetoric resounds, no deal means every income bracket will take a hit.
The Tax Policy Center predicts a family making $40,000 to $65,000 a year would pay at least an additional $2,000 in taxes.
"There's the disappearance of the decrease in Social Security tax, the 2 percent on your withholding, and the decrease in your child tax credit, which is going from $1,000 to $500," said CPA Buz Aaron.
Families will also lose the ability to claim their children as dependents if they are 19 to 23 years old; there will be a marriage penalty tax, meaning joint filers will pay more; and some education credits will go away.
"The American Opportunity credit was a bigger, more favorable credit. But that's going away. So the education credits that people were eligible for will go down," said Aaron.
Households making $75,000 a year would face tax increases between $2,000 and $4,000.
Those in the upper income bracket making between $200,000 and $500,000 could see their taxes go up $15,000, and their tax rate rise to more than 39 percent.
Investment income, Medicare and capital gains taxes would all increase.
"They can end up with an effective rate that's closer to 45 percent," said Aaron.
To cushion the blow, Aaron suggests that the average income earner consider deferring tax deductions, everything from extra mortgage payments to charitable contributions, until next year.
"If your effective income tax rate is 25 percent, but next year your effective rate is going to be 28 percent, they're worth more to you next year than it is now," he said.
The tax hikes are direct hits, but with billions of dollars in spending cuts, including long-term unemployment benefits, the economy as a whole could lose more than it can afford. Some experts say it could lead to another recession.
Low-income families would be some of the hardest hit. With the elimination of the Bush-era 10 percent tax bracket, they could pay an extra $1,000 or more in taxes.

Sat reclining, Homer Simpson style, after all the Christmas feasting most of us would find ourselves in front of the TV on Boxing Day. I was shaken from my post postprandial slumber when Winterwatch displayed TWO images from GNPC club members on their Christmas Special.
Peter Warne's image of the Avocets below got a special mention (and he got name checked), so kudos to him:
John Parish's shot of deer in Wethersfield was picked out (and not criticised) by Chris Packham, so plaudits to him too:
For those of an inquisitive nature the images appear 1hour 20 mins into the programme, which you can check out on iPlayer for the next couple of weeks. Winterwatch-link.

This is a shared entry with Edward Charles Stirling
Sir Edward Charles Stirling (1848-1919), surgeon, scientist and politician, and Sir John Lancelot Stirling (1849-1932), politician, were the sons of Edward Stirling (1804-1873) and his wife Harriett, née Taylor. Their father arrived in South Australia in 1839; he eventually bought the pastoral stations of Highland Valley in the Mount Lofty Ranges and Nalpa on Lake Alexandrina. In 1855-61 he was in partnership with (Sir) Thomas Elder, Robert Barr Smith and John Taylor, as Elder, Stirling & Co., which financed the Wallaroo and Moonta copper mines. Appointed to the Legislative Council in 1855 he helped frame the Constitution and was a member of the new council in 1856-65. He died on 2 February 1873 in London. Two South Australian towns bear his name.
Edward Charles was born on 8 September 1848 at Strathalbyn, South Australia. Educated at the Collegiate School of St Peter and at Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A., 1870; M.A., 1873; M.B., 1874; M.D., 1880; Sc.D., 1910), he became a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1874 and was lecturer in physiology and assistant surgeon at St George's Hospital, London, and later surgeon at Belgrave Hospital for Children. Returning to South Australia in 1875 he married Jane, daughter of Joseph Gilbert, on 27 June 1877, and took her to England for specialized medical treatment. In 1881 he settled permanently in South Australia where he became consulting surgeon to Adelaide Hospital, lecturer and later first professor of physiology at the University of Adelaide and a member of the University Council.
In 1884-87 Stirling was member for North Adelaide in the House of Assembly and in 1886 he introduced a bill to enfranchise women; but the South Australian Museum became his major life's work. He was its director in 1884-1912 and was largely responsible for its excellent collection of Aboriginal cultural specimens. In 1888 he received from central Australia a specimen of the previously unknown marsupial mole which he named, described and illustrated in the 1890-91 Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of South Australia.
Stirling crossed the continent from Darwin to Adelaide with the Earl of Kintore in 1891, collecting ethnological and zoological specimens. In 1893 he travelled to Lake Callabonna where a field party, organized by him, was excavating numerous remains of the giant marsupial Diprotodon. In the same year he was made a fellow of the Royal Society, London, and created C.M.G. He was medical officer and anthropologist with the William Horn expedition which, in 1894, made a comprehensive survey of the country between Oodnadatta and the MacDonnell Ranges. He wrote the extensive anthropological section published as part of the four volumes that recorded the expedition's discoveries. His work on the Diprotodon culminated in a full description of its skeletal anatomy in the Memoirs of the local Royal Society in 1899, and the complete reconstruction of its skeleton in 1906. Casts of the latter are still the only articulated examples to be found in museums in Australia and abroad.
Actively associated with the Public Library, the Art Gallery, the Zoological Society, the Adelaide Hospital and the State Children's Council, Stirling was dean of the Faculty of Medicine in 1908-19 and president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in South Australia. He participated in the long struggle to secure Flinders Chase on Kangaroo Island as a sanctuary. In 1917 Stirling was knighted. He died on 20 March 1919 at his home St Vigeans, Mount Lofty, where he had established a famous garden, survived by his wife and five daughters; two sons predeceased him. His estate was sworn for probate at £65,700.
John Lancelot was born on 5 November 1849 at Strathalbyn and followed his brother to St Peter's. After two years on the Continent he went up to Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A., LL.B., 1871), where he won a blue for athletics. In 1870 and 1872 he won the amateur hurdles championship of England. At 23 he was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple. He returned to South Australia in 1876, and with his brother bred merino sheep; he also bred Ayrshire cattle and horses on the family properties. On 12 December 1882 he married Florence Marion, daughter of Sir William Milne. He was a member of the House of Assembly for Mount Barker in 1881-87 and Gumeracha in 1888-90, and in 1891-1932 was a member for the Southern Districts in the Legislative Council and was president in 1901-32. Though an unexceptional speaker he was respected for his ability. He was appointed K.C.M.G. in 1909.
Stirling was director of the Beltana and Mutooroo Pastoral companies, the Australian Mutual Provident Society, the Wallaroo and Moonta Mining and Smelting Co. and the Alliance Insurance Co. He introduced polo to South Australia and captained a team that twice defeated Victoria. He was the steward of several racing clubs, and was once master of the Adelaide hounds. A member of the University of Adelaide Council, he was also president of the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Pastoralists' Association of South Australia, and the Zoological and Acclimatization Society. He died on 24 May 1932 at Strathalbyn, survived by his wife, three sons and two daughters.

Scoring a goal just seven minutes into your debut is usually enough to grab the headlines at most clubs, but that inevitably did not prove to the case as Daniel Sturridge made his Liverpool bow on Sunday afternoon.
The 23-year-old was handed his first start as the Reds took on Mansfield Town in the FA Cup and wasted no time in underlining why he might still prove a bargain even at £12 million.
The manner in which the Englishman latched onto Jonjo Shelvey's well-weighted through ball before directing a controlled right-footed finish beyond Alan Marriott gave an early glimpse of the ability which Liverpool fans hope to see coaxed out of their new striker on a weekly basis.
The former Chelsea man spent just 48 additional minutes on the pitch following that opener, but provided plenty of further encouragement for his new employers regarding their most recent investment. His link-up play did not tally with the accusations of selfishness so often aimed in his direction, while only further good work from Marriott prevented him grabbing a second strike after another clever run.
In fact, the only disappointing aspect of Sturridge's first appearance in a red shirt was that, due to a lack of match fitness, he was withdrawn to be replaced by Luis Suarez with 56 minutes on the clock.
Much has been made this week of the tactical reshuffle which may need to take place in order for the pair to dovetail at the sharp end of the pitch, though an opportunity to see the blueprints of a new-look attack was denied the fans on this occasion.
Regardless, Brendan Rodgers might well have pinched himself on the sidelines as he replaced one senior centre-forward with another, a luxury he has been deprived of ever since Fabio Borini's broken foot limited options which were already in short supply due to the failure to replace Andy Carroll in the summer.
Of course, ever since that devastating injury hit a paper-thin attack, Suarez has undoubtedly been the player tasked with single-handedly carrying the burden of a goal-shy Liverpool team. And, even in the less-than illustrious surroundings of Field Mill, the Uruguayan continued his season-long one-man show with the now typical smattering of controversy he so regularly provides.
The 26-year-old blatantly handled before turning the ball home just four minutes into his cameo – a goal which would prove decisive following Matt Green's late strike. Clearly, the nature of the caustic reaction to this latest misdemeanour owes much to Suarez's past reputation, but the Salto-born striker just cannot seem to avoid the limelight no matter how hard he tries.
This has so often been a plus point for Rodgers' side this term, with the usual poisonous judgements passed up in favour of effusive praise thanks to some marvellous recent performances. But the way in which the ball simply seemed destined for Suarez's hand as it bounced up in the melee says it all; he has been cast as the villain and must take on his role for better or for worse.
In purely footballing terms though, such pantomime irrelevancies are exactly that. Liverpool sealed progression to the next round of the FA Cup and saw both of their strikers get on the scoresheet ahead of an enticing Premier League trip to Old Trafford – that is all their manager will think of this week.
Admittedly, the differences between facing a side who sit ninth in the Conference and taking on a team atop the English football ladder could not be starker. But if Liverpool's frontmen provide all the talking points – and, more importantly, all the goals – next time round then Reds fans are certain to be happy again.

Jaime King Welcomes Son James Knight
"Mom and baby are happy, healthy and are doing great," King's rep tells PEOPLE.
Splash News Online
Jaime King has her own little prince!
The Hart of Dixie star and her husband Kyle Newman welcomed son James Knight Newman on Sunday, Oct. 6, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. He weighed in at 7 lbs., 2 oz.
"Mom and baby are happy, healthy and are doing great," King's rep tells PEOPLE.
In May, the actress, 34, and Newman, a director, revealed they were expecting their first child. The former model gave fans a glimpse as to how she was keeping cool throughout the summer months, sharing a picture of herself in a bikini showing off her budding belly.
Prior to her baby boy's arrival, King was showered with love during an August Star Wars-themed party, complete with a cute — and very creative — cake.
"It's amazing how much joy this baby has already brought Kyle and me," King said at the shower. "We are touched by the support and love of all our friends and family."

As my previous post shows, PHP is active in the Netherlands, and our user group is acting on that. However there's more beyond our user group in this little country!
He mentions the pfCongrez (April 15th in Maarssen, online registration required, about 17 Euro) and the Dutch PHP Conference (June 11-13th in Amsterdam, full ticket is 500 Euro) both with excellent sessions by speakers like Derick Rethans, Matthew Weier O'Phinney and Eli White.

F1 could bring back highly-sophisticated 'active suspension' to cut costs.
Reporting from Shanghai, Telegraph correspondent Daniel Johnson said the idea is among a draft proposal by the FIA after teams blocked Jean Todt's plans for a budget cap.
Active suspension was banned after Williams utterly dominated in 1993, but bringing it back could cut costs by making it easier and cheaper to set up today's complex cars.
Johnson said every car would by 2017 be fitted with 'FIA standard active suspension', and along with other benefits it could mean teams could function without as many staff at grands prix.
Among some of the other cost-cutting ideas - part of a three-year plan - are proposals to further extend gearbox life and paddock curfews, and simplify front wing designs.
The changes might not be popular with Adrian Newey, however, as F1's best designer recently questioned the direction the sport is taking.
Ahead of the Bahrain grand prix, he hit out at F1's new 'green' credentials, arguing that if the batteries collecting hybrid power to feed the smaller turbo V6 engines are produced "from a coal-fired power station, then clearly it's not green at all".
"This concept that a hybrid car is automatically green is a gross simplification," said the Briton. "So I think technically, to be perfectly honest, it's slightly questionable."
Newey also said the 'new' F1 is more like sports car racing than traditional F1.
"Formula one should be about excitement," he said. "It should be about man and machine performing at its maximum every single lap."
Asked on Wednesday if Newey's commitment to the new and 'questionable' F1 is still as high as ever, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner insisted: "Absolutely.
"Adrian is one of the most driven people, if not the most driven person, I've ever met," he is quoted by Sporting Life.
"He's passionate about formula one, a purist, and he speaks from the heart," Horner added.

Experts and educators recommend overhaul of teacher prep process
NEA supports measures to raise the bar for entry into the classroom
WASHINGTON - November 16, 2010 -
The National Education Association applauds recommendations in a report released today by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) that calls for a national strategy to prepare effective teachers. "Transforming Teacher Education Through Clinical Practice," is the product of a blue ribbon panel convened by NCATE to improve student learning. The panel looked at the issue of preparing new teachers for the classroom, analyzing the entire system. The panel's final report and recommendations provide guidance for improving and revitalizing the profession from the beginning, examine the teacher education and preparation process, identify 10 design principles for clinically based programs and a comprehensive series of strategies to revolutionize teacher education.
The following can be attributed to NEA Secretary-Treasurer and NCATE Blue Ribbon Panelist Becky Pringle:
"The path to the classroom must include practical clinical opportunities, strengthened mentoring and induction programs and continuous professional development and education opportunities. We would never leave a first year medical or law student to their own devices and expect them to operate on a patient or try an important case. Yet we expect new teachers to be able to perform at the highest standards on the first day. We need to apply the same rigorous training, support and joint accountability standards to the profession of teaching.
"When we talk about transforming schools, improving student achievement and increasing classroom accountability we must also look at teacher education and preparation and the role that it plays in their efficacy in the classroom and the achievement of their students. We cannot risk the future of our children or our nation by allowing inexperienced teachers to enter the classroom.
"NEA is committed to continuing our partnerships, working across the board with districts, schools of education and policymakers to expand practical clinical opportunities, strengthen licensure requirements, encourage mentoring and induction programs and emphasize staff development and evaluation. We applaud NCATE and the panel for stepping forward with the call for a national strategy and we stand ready to do all that we can to see it come to fruition."

All eyes will be on Tom Brady at Sunday's Super Bowl XLVI, but for now, it's his wife Gisele Bundchen who's turning heads.
The 31-year-old Brazilian beauty has gone topless for Versace's new denim campaign, covering her bare breasts with nothing but a denim jacket.
As the face of the luxe label's spring/summer 2012 collection, Bundchen — mom to Benjamin, 2 — posed for the black and white photo in Borrego Springs, Calif. According to the U.K. Daily Mail, renowned photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott captured Bundchen's sexy shots.
Poised to become the world's first billionaire supermodel, Bundchen may bring the heat with her new campaign, but come Sunday she's ready to let husband Brady take center stage.
As quarterback Brady's New England Patriots prepare to take on the New York Giants in football's biggest game, Bundchen was every bit the supportive wife when asking family and friends to lend their support to her man.
"I feel Tommy really needs our prayer, our support and love at this time," she wrote in an email obtained by the New York Post. "I kindly ask all of you to join me on this positive chain and pray for him, so he can feel confident, healthy and strong. Envision him happy and fulfilled experiencing with his team a victory this Sunday."

Barely a major final has been played in the last few years without Spanish players taking to the field, and Sunday's showpiece match in the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2012 will be no exception. Running out for Rafael Benitez's Chelsea against Corinthians of Brazil will be the Iberian trio of Cesar Azpilicueta, Juan Mata and Fernando Torres, who have all had a big hand in getting them there.
Less than a month after taking up his post, coach Benitez has already begun to impose his style on a side in which he has a compatriot in every department. "Rafa's arrival has given us the intensity we've been lacking so many times this season," said an appreciative Torres, who worked under the coach at Liverpool. "We have a lot of talented players who need tactical discipline too, and we're working on that with Benitez: how to move as a team and defend and attack as one."
We've got four Brazilians in the team and they've told us about them. I'm sure we'll see a very even game, with both sides in with an equal chance.
The scorer of the Blues' second goal in their 3-1 defeat of Monterrey, the relaxed Torres is proud of his side's recent form and everything Spanish football has achieved of late: "We've been lucky enough to form part of a great generation of Spanish players. We've won two European Championships, the World Cup in South Africa and the Champions League. It's a pleasure to be enjoying all of this with Chelsea and the national team, and I hope this final is not the last."
By his side is the smiling Juan Mata. The midfielder, who struck Chelsea's first ever FIFA Club World Cup goal to set them on the road to victory against the Mexicans, echoed the words of his fellow countryman and pointed to the special ties that bind them on the pitch and off it, where they often get together of an evening to eat ham and other Spanish fare.
As they explain, the tradition began when they were team-mates in the national side and has continued in London, where they round off every pre-match meal with a cup of drinking chocolate and some Spanish buns, just to make them feel that little bit closer to home.
"I feel more comfortable with them than anyone and it's natural we should spend more time together," said Mata, who is aiming to collect another winner's medal in the next few days. "I want to repeat here in Japan the things I've achieved with the national side. It would be unique to be Club World Cup champions and I'd love to wear that badge on the shirt too."
The final hurdleProud as they are to be Spanish, Torres and Mata's main objective on Sunday is to take their English club to the pinnacle of international club football. To do that, they will need to see off Brazil's Corinthians, a side that watched Chelsea in action at the International Stadium Yokohama on Wednesday.
"They were here to see us, obviously," said the former Valencia man with a grin on his face. "They're one of the best sides in South America, and with players like [Paolo] Guerrero they can score at any time. I've no idea what they thought of us, whether they think we're good or bad, but the important thing will be to beat them on Sunday."
For his part, Torres believes the Brazilians will not have seen anything they did not already know: "I don't think it's the first time they will have watched us. I'm sure they'll have seen our last few games and they'll know what Chelsea are about since Rafa came in: a well-knit team that's a threat up front and which has improved at the back."
As for the quality of their opponents on Sunday, El Niño Torres admitted that he and his team-mates were a little taken aback by what they have seen of them: "They surprised us all with their tactical appreciation. They set themselves up really well after scoring against Al-Ahly and didn't have any problems."
Does that mean to say the South Americans might take the Londoners by surprise on Sunday? "I don't think so," came the answer. "We've got four Brazilians in the team and they've told us about them. I'm sure we'll see a very even game, with both sides in with an equal chance."
Having featured in so many important finals of late, Torres certainly knows what he is talking about.

Pat Summerall, called a 'broadcasting giant,' has died
- Summerall was a kicker in the NFL from 1952-61.
- He is best known for working with John Madden on the top NFL games each week%2C first on CBS%2C then Fox
- Summerall was recognized by several organizations for his top-notch broadcasting.
For many sports fans in the 1960s through the 1990s, Pat Summerall was the voice of the NFL, starting with CBS' Sunday telecasts and later with Fox, famously paired for much of that time with John Madden.
Summerall, 82, passed away Tuesday in Dallas, said his daughter, Susie Wiles.
"He was an extraordinary man and a wonderful father," Wiles told the Associated Press. "I know he will be greatly missed."
The Dallas Morning News reported Summerall died in his room at Dallas' Zale Lipshy Hospital, where he was recovering from surgery for a broken hip.
Summerall worked a record 16 Super Bowls, drawing on his football relationships made during his nine-plus years as a kicker in the NFL, primarily for the then-Chicago Cardinals and New York Giants from 1952 to 1961.
He had been ill off and on in his later years. A recovering alcoholic, Summerall had a liver transplant in 2004, needing it even after 12 years of sobriety.
His was a trusted, low-key, to the point voice, which made the contrast to the effervescent Madden -- "Boom!" -- a pairing that was informative and entertaining.
In a statement Tuesday, Madden said, "Pat was my broadcasting partner for a long time, but more than that he was my friend for all of these years. We never had one argument, and that was because of Pat. He was a great broadcaster and a great man. He always had a joke. Pat never complained, and we never had an unhappy moment. He was something very special. Pat Summerall is the voice of football and always will be."
When CBS lost its NFL package after the 1993 season, Summerall and Madden joined Fox Sports as that network's lead NFL announcer team.
A man with many interests, Summerall also was called on by CBS to be the lead announcer for its coverage of PGA Tour events for many years as well as such major tennis events as the U.S. Open. He called 13 Super Bowls, 26 Masters and 21 U.S. Opens for the network.
CBS announcers remembered him Tuesday:
*Jim Nantz: "Pat Summerall was a hero to me. I treasured the gift of friendship that I had with him. I was his understudy for 10 years. He could not have been more generous or kind to a young broadcaster. He was a giant and one of the iconic figures in the history of the CBS television network."
*Verne Lundquist: "Pat was a friend of nearly 40 years. He was a master of restraint in his commentary, an example for all of us. He was also one of the great storytellers who ever spoke into a microphone."
Summerall's last Super Bowl worked was for Fox on Feb. 3, 2002, which also was his last game with Madden, ending a 21-year run together.
"You are what the NFL is all about, what pro football is all about, and more important, what a man is all about and what a gentleman is all about," Madden said then in a tribute to his partner to end that Super Bowl telecast.
Before Madden, Summerall teamed with another former NFL player, Tom Brookshier, in the 1970s, and they called three Super Bowls for CBS. Of Brookshier, who died in January 2010, Summerall once told The New York Times: "With Brookie, it was more of a conversation, like two guys in a saloon."
Summerall's first taste of fame, however, did come in his playing career. In the 1958 regular-season finale for the Giants, Summerall nailed a game-winning 49-yard field goal through the driving snow to beat the Cleveland Browns and keep New York's season alive.
Two weeks later, in the game known as the "Greatest Game Ever Played," Summerall was the Giants' kicker in the NFL championship won in overtime by the Baltimore Colts.
Summerall became so gifted at his second career, spanning more than 40 years, that he was named National Sportscaster of the Year in 1977 by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association and inducted into its Hall of Fame in 1994.
Pro football recognized him, too, as the 1994 recipient of the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award, by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, "for longtime exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football."
And in 1999 he was inducted into the American Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame.
Lance Barrow, coordinating producer for CBS Sports, worked many events with Summerall. In a statement, he said:
"In 1976 I was a junior in college and Chuck Will put me in the 18th tower as a spotter for Pat Summerall. He told me, 'You're not going to meet a finer man in this business than Pat Summerall.' And to this day, I never have. He was kind to everyone. When you were around him you never knew that he was the No. 1 broadcaster. He taught me so much, not only about this business, but how to treat people. I'm sad on this day, but also smiling because I know he will be with his good buddy Tom Brookshier."
George Allen "Pat" Summerall was born May 10, 1930, in Lake City, Fla., a rural area midway between Jacksonville and Tallahassee. He was an all-around athlete and attended the University of Arkansas on a basketball scholarship. Once there he became an all-Southwest Conference selection in basketball and football. He graduated with a degree in education and later earned a master's degree in Russian history.

Hi, I can't see why you would think charging an ongoing fee is reasonable. The only value added after the initial up-front work is security updates. Your value is saving me up-front time. If you start charging an ongoing fee just for your security updates I will bite the bullet and build my own AMI and after I spend the time and get it configured there will be no difference of whether I used your AMI or my own. Or I can hire someone to put one together for me and be done with it. Please let me know if I have something wrong and you do continuously provide an ongoing value.
Premium for EC2
pingu - Sun, 2009/12/27 - 17:27
How about a couple of pricing model options?
I think no monthly fee but a 10% uplift on the EC2 data rates would be a great way to make sure you get a residual income and easier to sneak past 'head office' types than any kind of voluntary contribution, but perhaps also offer a $5/month/no markup option too, for heavy users?
Simple pricing
Guest - Sun, 2010/01/10 - 02:19
I think the monthly fee for using your AMIs is the easiest. A flat fee to use them is about as simple as it gets. %s are great for people that do not have any volume, but once someone starts to get traffic, now you (your fees) are a variable expense that has to be monitored and determined if your services are still worth it.
I completely believe in funding products that I use, but I do not care for the model that expands based upon percentage use. My two cents.
when i start use any project for profit, i donate.
d - Sun, 2010/01/10 - 21:50
I donate whenever i can and whenever I profit from any opensoure project. Sometimes, I even donate upfront to support development or bounty for a feature etc. I also click on ads if i found it's interesting and useful.
But i do NOT buy any premium version of any projects. Usually, i do not even use the product if it have a premium version. IMHO, tkl do help setting up new vm upfront. but most admin can do this by themselves and they will if they're charged for this.
Also, tkl dont help much after the system is sets up. So there's no logic on monthly charge.
variable expense creates budgeting issues
Bo - Mon, 2010/01/11 - 16:31
depending on target audience realize that introducing any additional variable expense to a company is an obstacle to adoption/purchase. Businesses like to be able to budget/plan (or at least think they can) a specific amount each month. In the end it depends on what your users/customers are primarily using the images for. Is it for their (our) own use, or is it primarily to package and resell after we create the 'solution' on top of the image (i.e. specific application for end user). The former creates less of a challenge IMHO then the latter. If its resold utilizing ec2 then there is a variable expense on top of a variable expense and generating margins on an unknown will be a significant challenge for both the end user and those packaging the image.
also, and just to admit my own bias, I am not a fan of % pricing. Even if variable based on tiers, static $/mo is simply more pallatable.
Fixed monthly is better
Neil Aggarwal - Tue, 2010/01/12 - 04:18
I agree that variable pricing is hard for most people. A fixed monthly amount is better.
The biggest problem I see with EC2 is when they start charging for bandwidth (Which they will be doing starting June of this year according to their pricing page). Then, people are really not going to know what their monthly charge will be.
Need flexibility to use open source for free and donate later
Steve Judkins - Fri, 2010/01/15 - 23:43
We experiment with a lot of open source projects and some but not all end up being useful to us in production. Paying up front fees is a barrier to experimentation and use. We like to support those efforts that are helping us to make money and grow our business, but choose to donate directly down the road to a projects that make life easier for us.
You can always download the ISOs and VM images for free
Neil Aggarwal - Sat, 2010/01/16 - 00:40
This discussion is about adding a fee on top of the Amazon EC2 fees as a way to help fund the project. The idea is that you have to pay something to Amazon anyway (They do not offer their service for free) so adding a small increment will not be a large impact.
TKL will always give you VM images and ISOs for free so you still have a way to try it out.
Based on EC2 pricing - ? which small or xlarge?
bmullan - Mon, 2010/01/25 - 06:43
This survey asks
how much to add to AWS EC2 "usage" fees.
My first question is why tie the cost to EC2 instance costs?
AWS has a lot of variation in pricing EC2 use
- Spot Pricing Instances
- Reserved Instances
- On Demand Instances
then there are various costs for different sizes of compute resources
- Small Instance 32 bit
- Med Instance 32 bit
- Large Instance 64-bit
- Extra Large Instance 64 bit
- High-Memory Double Extra Large Instance 64-bit platform
- High-Memory Quadruple Extra Large Instance 64-bit platform
- High-CPU Medium Instance 32-bit platform
- High-CPU Extra Large Instance 64 bit
These are all priced differently by AWS.
However from an "Application Appliance" perspective there are really only two considerations (32 or 64 bit)
So should someone pay more $ to run the Appliance on the largest 64 bit machine resource than on the smallest? I'm not sure the application's configuration changes does it? So why should it cost different.
Next using EC2 "usage" ...
Remember AWS's EC2 usage fee includes your use of Elastic Block Store (EBS), load balancing, auto scaling etc. None of those additional service costs for EC2 have anything to do with the Application Appliance...
My point I guess is I'd like to better understand what the Poll Question means by AWS "usage".
Same as Amazon
Neil Aggarwal - Mon, 2010/01/25 - 08:57
If you look at Amazon's EC2 pricing page:
They have a usage fee, which is how much they charge per hour you are using one of their instances.
The poll is about adding a percentage to that fee. Since it is a percentage, it can be applied to any type of EC2 instance since they all list a usage fee.
What about people with their own cloud?
Corey - Fri, 2010/02/26 - 23:23
Are the images going to be available for people with their own cloud. I'm a student and systems admin for our research lab at our university and we recently built a small ubuntu cloud based on eucalyptus and it's running on 4 machines with 32gigs of ram dual quad core amd 2.7ghz processors and ssd harddrives. I have used your turnkey images and love them, and am looking to move stuff to our own cloud and thus wouldn't be paying amazons usage fees.
My Thoughts on Pricing
Chaim Krause - Sun, 2010/02/28 - 16:45
I haven't spent much time thinking about this, but off the top of my head I think a 5% premium sounds reasonable for EC2 images. (I'm assuming) There will always be ways to tinker/learn for free with the existing VMs and ISOs. I would only move to EC2 instances when I am planning on going "live" with something and at that point I am willing to pay for the services I need to do so -- and that, in my mind, includes the work done by the TurnKey folks.
My thoughts on pricing
Aaron - Tue, 2010/03/16 - 21:18
Seems like people are overthinking this. There are other image vendors out there...what do they do?
JumpBox charges on the order of a 12 cent / hr premium.
If EC2 was free to begin with, I think an open source surcharge would be odd. Since we are already paying amazon, a small, 1-4 c / hr charge makes perfect sense. A no hassle way to keep the community going.
This week's change in pricing/support model for JumpBox & AWS EC
brian - Thu, 2010/03/25 - 14:57
Just fyi...
The above model was just announced and after reading it the approach sounds reasonable to me.
It should provide decent sustainable revenue for the developers application services.
Extra services bundled into the application systems like jumpbox or TurnKey like the described Administation Portal that lets a customer manage/configure server names, automate backup/restore, etc. for JumpBox AWS EC2 instances... can make it very worthwhile to pay the monthly fee !
I also like the approach because its uncomplicated <g>
My two cents
Tazio - Fri, 2010/04/23 - 21:43
How about contacting Amazon and negotiating a commission on every installation and every instances Zimbra is used on their cloud only when EC2 is initiated by visiting your site?
Feedback on pricing for custom EC2 images

I would highly recommend you charge a single onetime fee for the images. The savings is based on the upfront work that I do not have to do if I use your image -- so, I may not mind paying you if I find your image useful. You could implement it as a code I have to enter to remove certain request for donation banner. This way, if I try it but don't like it and not use any further, I do not owe you anything.
I know Devpay does not quite allow that -- but you do not have to go through Devpay -- you can do it as a paypal donation -- and more of a honor system.
Jusr my 2c. And I wish you success.
What does a LAMP subscription provide?
Larry - Sun, 2010/05/23 - 21:21
I would like to move my 38 websites EC2 and eliminate my two dedicated servers. A few days ago I signed up for EC2 found there isn't a Freebsd AMI. Instead, I'm using a Debian Lamp AMI and already there are major roadblocks. So I started looking at fee based solutions like Jumpbox and Turnkey for my LAMP solution. I couldn't find a solution using Jumpbox, so now I'm looking at Turnkey. The problems I'm having are with my apache, php & mysql configurations and database. As you know, if the server goes down, the instance isn't persistent and all is lost.
I did make an AMI of my configured Debian Lamp AMI and stored it on S3. This works to capture my apache, php, mysql configuration and databases if there is no activity with the database. Any changes to the apache, php or mysql configurations require making another AMI. This manual process just isn't going to work for every little change I make.
I moved my databases to EBS to make them persistent. Also copied apache, php and mysql config to EBS. On a reboot or starting up the instance, I need to copy my apache, php and mysql configs back from EBS to the running instance and restart the servers to get it setup properly. A manual process.
I need to make backups of my databases and user data like uploaded images on EBS. Doing a snapshots of a live database isn't going to work. Another manual process using another tool like mysqldump or what I'm using now "Navicat".
I've read there is a performance benefit of making my EBS Raid 0 striping with 2 to 4 in the array. Will Turnkey allow me to do this without having manually SSHing in and configuring the array. Since my current servers are Raid 5, I wouldn't want to take a performance hit by moving to EC2.
My question, will a subscription to turnkey EC2 Lamp AMI do anything to reduce my manual processes above? I'm assuming you addressed the non-persistent data issue by having a startup script to fetch previously stored persistent configuration data with your autoEBS mount. As part of my turnkey subscription, if my instance goes down, do you offer value added monitoring and alerts? I would want to know if my websites were down. I also would want the ability to restart them without having to login to AWS.
Fee for added value services better
AlexH - Fri, 2010/09/17 - 02:11
Signing up for the beta, I didn't realize you charged a premium over standard EC2 prices. It's a turnoff for me. I generally am willing to pay for a really useful add-on service e.g. backup, and encourage you to pursue this path.
Try it out first

Originally, I was skeptical about the possibility of having to pay more to use TKL on the cloud. After having access to the Hub, I don't see anything wrong with it. Consider you would pay $30 a month for usage fees. A 10% premium would mean you're only paying $33. And with the possibility of Micro Instances, the difference could be barely noticeable. For the simplicity the Hub provides, especially with TKLBAM, I would have no problem paying it. It is clear that you guys are putting some serious effort into the project and I think it would be a great way to help it grow.

I've been experimenting with tkl and have found it a good time saver. I'd like to use it to support various client needs for US based businesses. The problem I have is a lack of guaranteed support. Very small companies never ask about vendor support for software, but every other company (especially experienced ones) always will. I can't use these appliances with many companies without the ability to buy technical support from the vendor. I sometimes cannot even buy hardware without a service contract as some businesses just want to have it - even if they will never use it. It allows for less stress and to them legitimizes the vendor.
The idea of mark-ups on top of variable costs drives small business owners crazy. They do, however, accept the premise of paying for a yearly technical support contract for two reasons:
1) They only have to pay one bill a year
2) This lets the owners feel better that their server instance can get vendor help when it has issues. After all - they rely on their business for income and they need to know their problems will get addressed from the vendor when needed.
These owners and decision makers do not understand the concept of open source other than free. Of course they want everything for free, but they want the assurance provided by a support contract as well. Have you considered raising revenue by offering some type of support contracts?
Discounted right off the bat...
Jeff Hales - Mon, 2010/12/13 - 01:37
The poll resulted in a roughly 11.8% surcharge, so you guys are implementing about a 15.25% discount on the community's own estimated opinion of value. That's awesome! I know everyone won't see it this way, but the numbers don't lie. :D
It made me think about it.
It made me.
Think about it.
I really like that perspective :)
Jeremy Davis - Mon, 2010/12/13 - 01:58
Thats such a cool way of looking at it! You'll fit right in around here Jeff!

A Pizza My Mind: The World Should Have More Garlic Knots
Editor's note: In honor of National Pizza Month (aka October), the Serious Eats editors, staff, and Slice writers will top off our regular content with their deepest thoughts on all things cheesy, saucy, and crusty.
I wasn't all that well acquainted with garlic knots until moving to New York, where I started to encounter them at every corner sliceria. Little strips of dough tucked around garlic, drenched in butter and oil? An amazing notion even without the parmesan and parsley scattered on top.
But while the pizza scene is enjoying a renaissance, the garlic knot scene (yes, I said "garlic knot scene") has not followed suit.
There are places that do them brilliantly. Brooklyn's Best Pizza, inspired by classic NYC slice joints, does soft, olive oli-drizzled, parmesan-sprinkled versions we're crazy about. Parm in Manhattan's Nolita, a cheffed-up Italian-American counter that pays serious attention to things like chicken parm sandwiches and baked ziti, does "pizza knots," fried (fried!) pizza dough with a scattering of herbs. And some more traditional slice places like Brooklyn's Pizzeria Cotto Bene (pictured below) do great ones, too.
But really, I want good garlic knots anywhere I can get good pizza. They're so simple, for a place that already has the dough part down, but they satisfy such a different craving. Is it excessive to want half a dozen warm, drippy garlic knots before my pizza shows up? Perhaps, but I don't really care. I love the way the knotted dough gives you so many different little moments in the same piece: the crusty outside, pillowy, almost-doughy inside; the parts that taste like pizza crust, the parts that are all cheese and oil. I love the way some bites slay you with garlic, and others are mild enough to balance it out. And I love how, once they disappear from your paper bag, they're an excuse to eat what they leave behind: a fatty, salty collection of garlic bits.
I can just imagine an "artisanal" garlic knot vendor opening up a food truck or a market stall... but hey, as long as I can still get a handful for a dollar or two, I wouldn't mind a bit. Any other garlic knot fanatics out there? And where do you get good ones?

There are some fights where a draw seems like the only fair result for two evenly matched opponents.
There are other times when it feels like highway robbery.
Such was the case in the main event of Sunday's "WEC 49: Varner vs. Shalorus" event in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, when lightweights Jamie Varner and Kamal Shalorus fought to a foul-laden draw result, much to the surprise of almost everyone watching.
For three rounds, Varner did his best to stick and move while avoiding the powerful hooks of Shalorus. Meanwhile, "The Prince of Persia" spent three rounds blasting away with kicks at the inside and outside of Varner's legs, not to mention three powerful blows right to the groin that marred what was otherwise an unbelievable display of toe-to-toe brawling.
The action started immediately after the opening bell, and Varner teed off on his opponent's head to no avail. Working in straight punches ahead of Shalorus' looping hooks, Varner scored frequently, but the Iranian native seemed to feed off the energy and simply cheered the action. It seemed as if an epic slugfest could be in the works, but questionable tactics – not to mention officiating – marred the final two rounds.
Shalorus' low kicks scored twice to Varner's cup in the second frame, and the former champion collapsed to the floor after the shots. Referee Josh Rosenthal correctly deducted a point for the repeated infractions, and the contest carried on. Complicating matters for Varner, he appeared to break his hand following the second restart.
As the third round opened, Shalorus was also dealing with an injured right hand, and the two fighters were forced to search for alternatives. Jabs and kicks were in high demand. Unfortunately, one such kick again scored to Varner's groin. While a disqualification wouldn't have necessarily been out of line, Rosenthal declined to even deduct a second point and instead offered only another warning. While it seemed elementary at the time with Varner apparently cruising to a win, Rosenthal's choice would factor heavily into the final result.
With Shalorus using a takedown and solid control to claim the final round, the judges were forced to render a decision in the contest. All three issued a different result. The scores came in as 29-27 Varner, 29-27 Shalorus and a 28-28 draw, leaving the fight ruled a split draw. Had the second point been deducted, Varner would have walked away with a split-decision victory.
On the bright side for Varner, fans did end up cheering his name at points in the fight, which is something the lightweight contender isn't used to hearing.
Following the decision, Varner (16-3-1 MMA, 4-1-1 WEC) vehemently protested the call, and Shalorus (6-0-2 MMA, 2-0-1 WEC) offered heartfelt apologies for the low blows. The winner of the fight had been expected to meet WEC lightweight champion Benson Henderson with the title on the line, though that honor may now fall to the winner of a WEC 50 matchup between Anthony Pettis and Shane Roller.
One reality of mixed martial arts is that sometimes fights just don't live up to the hype surrounding them. In the case of of Saturday's co-main event between featherweights Mark Hominick and Yves Jabouin, even eight years of build-up wasn't enough.
The two Canadians finally met after years of near-misses, and the two packed more action into a round-and-a-half of competition than seems humanly possible. Jabouin opened up the aggressor, and his combination of kicks, punches and elbows from all angles left Hominick unable to open his own attack. Hominick's face quickly showed the effects of the punishment, but he refused to stop moving forward. And while Jabouin looked to have claimed the first round, he was also slowing in the closing seconds.
Hominick wasn't.
Jabouin started quickly again in the second, but it was just a brief flurry. Instead, Hominick started working in combinations and punishing Jabouin with body shots. A left shot to the gut saw Jabouin hit the deck, but he wasn't quite ready to quit. He worked back to the feet and fired off a right hand that left Hominick on the deck in a shocking turn of events. Then it was Jabouin's turn to rush in.
Hominick recovered quickly, and he immediately swept to top position and delivered a flurry of blows from the mount. Jabouin tried to wiggle and roll, but he was stuck, and Hominick was unrelenting. Referee Vern Gorman had no choice to wave off the potential "Fight of the Year" candidate at the 3:21 mark.
Hominick (18-8 MMA, 2-2 WEC) proclaimed after the fight that he would provide an interesting matchup for featherweight champ Jose Aldo, but there's a line waiting to meet the Brazilian phenom. Instead, a matchup with Leonard Garcia, which Hominick also requested, seems far more likely – and enticing. Meanwhile, Jabouin (14-6 MMA, 0-2 WEC) is now winless in two WEC outings, but both fights have been memorable affairs and may earn "Tiger" a rare third shot at a first win in the promotion.
Despite being on the shelf for a little more than a year, featherweight youngster Josh Grispi laughed off any hint of ring rust in a first-round stoppage of fellow top contender L.C. Davis.
Grispi showed no lingering effects from the injury that has kept him out of action since June 2009, and he instead flashed kicks at all angles as he kept the shorter Davis at bay. When Davis tried to switch up his attack and bring Grispi to the floor, "The Fluke" calmly latched on to a guillotine choke and squeezed until Davis went to sleep.
While Manny Gamburyan has been promoted in recent months as the next title contender in the featherweight division, Grispi's (14-1 MMA, 4-0 WEC) four first-round finishes should leave him on a short list for consideration, as well. Meanwhile, Davis (16-3 MMA, 3-1 WEC) sees a three-fight win streak halted with the result.
Canadian Chris Horodecki would surely prefer to forget his WEC debut against Anthony Njokuani this past December. But fighting in front of his native Canada for the first time in four years against WEC newcomer Danny Downes, Horodecki looked like a completely different fighter.
"The Polish Hammer" easily navigated through Downes' reach advantage and landed combinations at will. But while Horodecki's striking was on display frequently, it was his ground skills that proved the definitive factor.
Horodecki controlled Downes on the floor on several occasions, and he nearly ended the bout in the opening round with a rear-naked choke. Instead, he'd have to settle on waiting until early in the final frame to lock in the fight-ending hold. With both hooks firmly in place, Horodecki snuck his arm under the chin of a fatigued and frustrated Downes, who had no choice but to tap.
With the win, Horodecki (15-2 MMA, 1-1 WEC) can put his debut loss behind him. Meanwhile, Downes (6-1 MMA, 0-1 WEC), who took the fight on just one-week's notice, should earn another look from the promotion after competing under such difficult circumstances in his debut.
In the evening's first televised contest, bantamweights Eddie Wineland and Will Campuzano combined to put on the striking display most observers expected before the night began. And while the action was even for most of the contest, Wineland capitalized on the rare openings he did see and eventually earned the TKO.
Campuzano favored low kicks early, but Wineland flashed the head movement and footwork that are quickly becoming his hallmark while avoiding any real damage. The former WEC champ dropped Campuzano on two occasions in the opening round after catching mid-level kicks, but the end came in the second.
A beautiful three-punch combo that targeted the head and the body dropped Campuzano, and Wineland pounced. Campuzano showed great resilience in battling back to his feet, but Wineland kept the pressure on. Another massive right to the body dropped Campuzano again, and a standing Wineland delivered a right hand to his opponent's head that forced the stoppage with 16 seconds left in the round.
Wineland (17-6-1 MMA, 4-1 WEC) has now won three-straight fights in impressive fashion.
"I'm very pleased," Wineland said following the win. "Everybody that's been helping me I thank them. They've been pushing me in the right direction."
Meanwhile, Campuzano (7-2 MMA, 1-2 WEC) falls to just 1-2 in the WEC but has yet to take part in a boring fight.
