Fisch wins Department of Energy award
Posted September 22, 2004; 04:44 p.m.
Princeton physicist Nathaniel Fisch has been named one of seven winners of the U.S. Department of Energy's 2004 E.O. Lawrence Award, which honors outstanding contributions in the field of atomic energy.
Fisch is a professor of astrophysical sciences and director of the Program in Plasma Physics. He also serves as associate director for academic affairs at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory .
Fisch was honored in the nuclear technology category for his discovery of ways to use plasma waves to produce electric current. Plasma is a hot, ionized gas that serves as the fuel for nuclear fusion.
Winners of the Lawrence award receive a $50,000 prize and will be honored at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 8. The award was established in 1959 to honor Ernest Orlando Lawrence, who invented the cyclotron particle accelerator. Major energy department laboratories in Berkeley and Livermore, Calif., are named after Lawrence.

Peniche and Baleal areas are amongst the most diverse and consistent surfing regions in Portugal, Europe and the world. There are beach breaks, sandbars, reefs, point-breaks and mixed spots. All of these surfing options are located within a 15km radious from Baleal Surf Camp location and work with various swell exposures as well as wind and tide conditions.
This combined with season changes in surfing conditons in Peniche area, make up for an amazing year round surfing region.
Therefore Peniche was baptized the Portuguese Wave Capital and indeed it is considered the most consistent surfing region in Europe with excellent conditions for surfers in the learning, developing or professional levels.
This truly extraordinary consistency and variety was one of the reasons why Peniche was chosen for the permanent W.C.T. (World Championship Tour) stop in Portugal after the amazing success of the Rip Curl Search back in 2009. The 2009 event made obvious to the world what we already knew for decades, here you can have surf lessons and surf courses all year round and with great conditions, see below the main surf spots.
Peniche and Baleal Penínsulas Surf Spots Map
Below you can click the links for the major spots in the Peniche Peninsula and see some photos and short descritption of the main features of each surf spot. Starting North with the Belgas area where the alternative location was set for the Search in 2009, until one of the Southern most spots, the point break of Porto Batel you can learn a bit about the amazing surfing potential, there are several spots not described...

Top 10 James Bond Villain Gadgets
Defending Great Britain and the rest of the free world takes more than dashing looks, a quick wit, and specific instructions on how to mix a martini. James Bond has always relied on fantastic technology that lives somewhere in the haze between reality and fiction.
The recent Daniel Craig version of Bond has relied a bit more on fisticuffs, climbing up scaffolding, and brooding in the shower than the Bond of yesteryear. However, the introduction of Ben Wishaw as MI6 quartermaster "Q" in this autumn's Skyfall may be the turning point for a more gadget-heavy 007 film. The early trailers already promise a Walther PPKS 9-mm short coded to Bond's palm print so only he can fire it.
Skyfall is the 23rd official James Bond film, so we gathered 007 and MI6's 23 most memorable gadgets. Should your favorite not make the cut, Her Majesty's government has granted you a Licence to Comment.
The mid-period Bond films starring Roger Moore may have the most gadgets overall, so some of them are very... specific. And whenever Moore's 007 takes a stroll through Q's lab to get a sneak peek at what the wizard of deadly gizmos is up to, the trek is always special. Like the time he saw a killer umbrella.
Should you ever be taking a stroll along the Strand with a nefarious double agent and the clouds are about to burst, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for. Q designed a parasol that grows spikes and snaps shut, dispatching the bugger back to whichever evil Iron Curtain country he came from.

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal broke a story regarding Americans funding off-shore drilling in Brazil. According to the paper, the United States is loaning Brazils state-owned oil company, Petrobras, $2 billion in the form of either a direct loan or loan guarantees. Even more bizarre, we obviously dont have $2 billion sitting around; we are taking out a loan to make a loan, something similar to speculators and day-traders who put their house at risk to borrow to play the stock market.
The implications here are staggering. First, there is the environmental implications. Arent we arguing over cap-and-trade because we are supposed to be part of a worldwide environment? How, then, does supporting the drilling of oil fit into that mantra? Doesnt that make the Obama Administration rather hypocritical, to say that its awful for Americans to benefit from destructive drilling, but its okay for those in Brazil?
Second, one of the greatest fears about cap-and-trade is that American jobs will be outsourced and American companies will move outside of the United States. Although this loan is not a direct result of cap-and-trade, by using American dollars to create foreign jobs when America is already struggling under such high levels of unemployment seems to be a signal that such worries are not a priority to Obama. Sarah Palin contends that such money could be used to drill inside the United States, thus reducing our dependence on foreign oil while creating many American jobs. But even if we never drill domestically, every amount of money that we spend is money that comes from the taxpayers pockets, which means Americans will pay higher taxes for Brazil to grow economically. If the Obama administration feels the need to frivol away my money, I would rather that money at least stay in America. I never thought a 35 hours American job would look so good. Washington has proven yet again just how little it values regular people in America.

About the Book
Hunger for nourishment.
Hunger for touch.
Hunger to belong.
Half-human and half-faery, Ani is driven by her hungers.
Those same appetites also attract powerful enemies and uncertain allies, including Devlin. He was created as an assassin and is brother to the faeries' coolly logical High Queen and to her chaotic twin, the embodiment of War. Devlin wants to keep Ani safe from his sisters, knowing that if he fails, he will be the instrument of Ani's death.
Ani isn't one to be guarded while others fight battles for her, though. She has the courage to protect herself and the ability to alter Devlin's plans—and his life. The two are drawn together, each with reason to fear the other and to fear for one another. But as they grow closer, a larger threat imperils the whole of Faerie. Will saving the faery realm mean losing each other?
Alluring romance, heart-stopping danger, and sinister intrigue combine in the penultimate volume of Melissa Marr's New York Times bestselling Wicked Lovely series.

Deeplinks Blog posts about WIPO
How the US Trade Rep Ratchets Up Worldwide Copyright Laws That Could Keep Your Devices Locked Forever
This month, the former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce Bruce Lehman, sometimes referred to as the architect of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), spoke at a Silicon Valley conference that brought copyright experts together to discuss the impact of that law 15 years later.
At the conference, Lehman admitted the law was the product of a deliberate end-run around the democratic process. Lehman was an advocate for several hardline proposals to criminalize digitial rights management (DRM) circumvention. Unable to sell the proposals domestically, Lehman pressed the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to propose them at the UN World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) instead. Many have accused Lehman of using the treaty process to avoid Congress. What was Lehman's response to those accusations at the event? "I would say that they're right."
After four years of intense negotiation and ongoing pressure from civil society, country members of the World International Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) moved to set a diplomatic conference in June 2013 to sign a treaty that will standardize cross-border rights for the blind and people with visual disabilities.
Treaty for the Blind: A Watered Down Agreement Moves Forward at the World Intellectual Property Organization
Last Friday, the World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPO) 185 country-members concluded another round of negotiations on exceptions and limitations for the blind and persons with printing disabilities. However, they did not reach a consensus on many of its most contentious issues, such as allowing exports of adapted works across borders and circumventing technological protection measures to enable accessibility. People with hearing disabilities were also written out of the draft. In addition, US negotiators were able to block exceptions and limitations for audiovisual works, under the pressure of MPAA. Who loses? All of us, but especially the 285 million visually impaired people in the world.
This week, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is hosting the 25th Session of the Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR/25). The agenda is focused, as it should be, on finalizing a longstanding discussion: the need for an international instrument to protect the rights of visually impaired persons and persons with print disabilities. Copyright protections create barriers for people with disabilities, yet big publishers continue to block efforts to create exceptions to remedy the problem even as hundreds of millions of people would stand to benefit worldwide.

Yes, I'm wondering just how big that piece of cooked sausage would have to be???!!... LOL
Yes, I'm wondering just how big that piece of cooked sausage would have to be???!!... LOL
My own method of training for blinds, is to build confidence and length, on Memory Marks, and then gradually phasing this to Memory Blinds and then cold blinds. We get the dogs powering out to white dummies that they can see too, and also run them either to a white pole, or to 'confidence areas' where they have picked successfully previously. So the basis of all our training for blinds is about building confidence and trust, in that when I put my arm down to line the dog, it KNOWS there is something there to go for because there is always something there....
Hard to write it down! So, with young dogs I put out a mark, walk away from it with the dog to whatever distance (as far as I know it will confidently remember and go back), then turn around and fire the dog back. But, in sending it back I rather 'over egg the cake' by taking my time and giving a very definite line out (even though it can possibly see or def remember the mark), so that it gets into a 'habit' of when I line like that there is something there. This eventually translates onto full blinds, and is the same sendaway.
and as for the use of the command "leave it"...there may come a time where "leave it' as opposed to "No" might come in handy...even though it may not used anymore, there used to be a time when one might see a pair of marks being thrown and then the dog is asked to run a blind, and then pick up the marks....If you told the dog NO instead of "leave it", how could you then tell the dog to retrieve something you had previously said no to....
You hear a lot of "to each their own", but that seems to be their way (usually) of avoiding an argument they can't win because their choice of training method is neither practical or scientific, but rather emotional.
Because of this intense emotional motivation, I think people tend to tune out the constant noise. Beyond that, the emotional nature of it leads people to criticize the practices of others, which again leads to a division in the ranks.
If you've chosen +r exclusively as your method, I know it's either an emotional marketing ploy (newest thing in pet dog training) or a personal emotional choice on your part. I know this because I routinely shape behaviors quickly and efficiently using a combination of +r and -r in dogs that have been through a +r program and are now completely out of the owner's control. The only good news for me then is that person has now learned that those treats have a value, but only so much, so when I solve the problem, they are happy and don't care how I did it (which isn't an excuse for me to be inhumane or unfair to the dog, BTW).

and while I'm chuckling at my own hypothetical example, it does still make me raise the question....is a dog capable of willfull disobedience if his instinct level is high enough?
I believe yes. I believe there are times when a dog's instincts or desires will over-ride all training, he will look right at you, and disobey a command. The expected reward is greater than the expected "other reward" that you are offering (or punishment if that's the training method).
I know my dog is certainly not unique in that he will refuse all food in the presence of an attractive female...or a bird. That piece of sausage could be as big as he is and he wouldn't even contemplate it.
edit to add...I am being deliberately obtuse just because I don't think you can say a dog will "NEVER" deliberately disobey. I do think that almost all of the time they disobey because they didn't understand something, or didn't truly know the command. But I also think that there are times when they just get that look in their eye and flip you the middle toe.

Personally, I think it looks neater to just line the dog for what you want, but each to their own, and most judges here wouldn't penalise for using 'leave it', although it does sound a bit novicey.

Your game doesn't really even resemble our game.
The way you guys hunt, doesn't resemble the majority of hunting here.
Its two different games.
Willful disobedience is required of dogs that lead a blind individual. I believe they look for that in the dog to disobey a command.

Sex can bring with it a lot of emotions. Whether it's your first time, or you have done it before, you need to make sure it's something you enjoy and do safely.
Wearing a condom each and every time you have sex is one of the best ways to ensure you have fun during sex and greatly reduces your chance of getting a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Mistakes can happen – this is OK, as long as we know all the facts about HIV and other STIs. Getting ourselves checked out regularly is the best thing we can do for our sexual health.

This post is an update to a previous post regarding project hamster.
Since installing the missing project hamster to my gnome 2.24 upgrade I have used it daily at work to track the time spent on each of the many projects I will participate in on any given day and it has been absolutely marvelous at helping me fill out my timesheets accurately.
In addition to the amount of time I spend on a project and the name of the project, both of which are tracked superbly in 2.23, I also have to enter a description of what I was doing for each period of time logged. It is at this point that I found project hamster lacking. Until now!
I'm not sure if it was in version 2.24 or 2.25 of hamster that the description field was added but it's a very welcome addition.
When you update an activity in 2.25 you now have a description text area to store exactly that, a description! The even better way of inputting a description is with the single activity text box by splitting the activity and the description with a comma. i.e. "activity_name, here is what I did during this activity"
Additionally the single activity box can also be used to set the category of the activity by adding an @ symbol. i.e. "activity_name@Work, here is what I did during this activity" nifty eh?
So now that I've teased you with what the new version does here is a description of how to upgrade from source, it's fairly straightforward especially if you're familiar with building applications from source already.
1. In a terminal enter the following command which will install all the necessary dependencies for building hamster (the line below will cover wrap onto 3 lines though it should be entered in the terminal as a single line)
sudo apt-get install gnome-common python-pysqlite2 python-gtk2 python-gtk2-dev python-gobject python-gobject-dev libgconf2-dev python-gnome2-dev x11proto-scrnsaver-dev libxss-dev
2. Grab yourself a copy of the source from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/hamster-applet/2.25/hamster-applet-2.25.3.tar.gz
3. Extract the source file to a folder, assuming you downloaded the source to your home directory you could extract it with the following commands
cd ~ tar -zxvf hamster-applet-2.25.3.tar.gz
4. Now the commands to actually build the plugin, again assuming you extracted the source in the line above to a folder named hamster-applet-2.25.3 in your home folder
cd ~/hamster-applet-2.25.3 ./configure make sudo make install
5. And that's it, should be rather painless, unless something goes horribly wrong (in which case leave a comment and I'll see what I can do to help) All that's left is to remove hamster from your panel and then add it again from the Add to panel dialog. Check that you're running version 2.25.3 by right-clicking on the hamster applet and selecting About.
As always I hope that helps someone, comments are always appreciated.

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
There's a lot more to learn about the Bay. These web sites and materials will inspire you to get to know the Chesapeake Bay better.
The following is a list of useful Chesapeake Bay and/or conservation related web sites. Your suggestions are welcome. Please e-mail them to email@example.com. Thanks!
There are dozens of ways to explore the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers. From mobile apps to websites to maps, here's our selection of resources to help you explore the Bay and its tributaries, paddle historic water trails, plan an excursion through history across the watershed, and even find healthy beaches.
The National Park Service's Chesapeake Explorer mobile app helps users find and visit attractions across the Bay watershed, including parks, trails, camp grounds, museums, and historic sites. The ever-expanding app includes up-to-date visitor information, such as hours, locations, and fees. The app is available for iPhone and Android. Find out more at chesapeakeexplorerapp.com.
In 2012, 18 new public access sites opened up across the region. The Chesapeake Bay Program's online Public Access Guide provides information on over 500 major public access sites in the Bay region. Users can find sites offering opportunities for boating, fishing, wildlife observation, and beach use. Search for public access point by address, city, or zip code. Check it out at chesapeakebay.net/takeaction/publicaccess.
Four hundred years ago Englishman John Smith set off with a small crew in an open boat to explore the Chesapeake Bay. Between 1607 and 1609 Smith mapped and documented nearly 3,000 of the Bay and its rivers. The trail, which follows his travels, was officially launched on May 12, 2007 and was the first national historic watertrail established by Congress. Visit the National Park Service's trail website at smithtrail.net for information, resources, and maps.
PublicationThis guide is a joint project of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Office, the Chesapeake Conservancy, and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and is written by CBF Senior Naturalist and Chesapeake boater extraordinaire, John Page Williams. It introduces paddlers and boaters to the best places to access the trail along with other practical information for boaters within the historical context of Captain John Smith's explorations 400 years ago. Download the guide (PDF, 102 pgs)
Released by The Chesapeake Conservancy on the 10 year anniversary of the Trail, the app uses storymap technology from Esri to create an interactive series of maps that help users plan trips along the Trail from their computer, smartphone, or tablet. Find it at http://www.chesapeakeconservancy.org/apps/BoatersGuide/
This network of observation buoys mark points along the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. Just pull out your cell phone and check real-time weather and environmental information like wind speed, temperature, and wave height at any buoy location. These "smart buoys" can also tell you something about John Smith's adventures during his 1608 voyage.

Across Borneo, babies are transported on their mothers' backs in decorated carriers. With the addition of shells, bells, talismanic beads and even the teeth of wild animals, the carriers are designed to safeguard the infant's wellbeing and ward off evil spirits. The finest are also deeply carved with dangerous demonic features. Large, round eyes of inlaid shell stare out of narrow, heart-shaped faces above small mouths with bared teeth.

Where I stayed
... `Cause apparently there`s nothing to see! We were thinking of spending the day touring Houston and our first stop was gonna be Houston Space Centre. It was just give-us-your-money type of tourist lollapalooza, with no sight of any launching pads or such. We didn`t even go in, so 50 miles driving for nothing.
Second stop, Rothko Cathedral, with paintings from this world-famous painter, Mark Rothko. OK, maybe I`m just an ignorant fool, but big room filled with huge dark-blue canvases, is not my thing.
From there, Downtown Houston. NOTHING!! At this point, 1pm, we were like "Hell with this, let's just put the pedal to the metal and get our ass`s to Austin,TX!" and that is what we did. On our way there, we happened to spot one of those outlet –shopping centers, so some more stuff to fill in the trunk. Also this idyllic village of Fayetteville was along our way.
Not much more than that, here we are in Austin,TX. Just a side-note though, we went to buy a case-of-beer from the near-by supermarket, but we couldn`t get any, because the store policy is that they don`t take "international IDs".WEIRD.

So E's II and III will be released in Sep and Oct of '13. So the big news is you get to wait a year and a half for the first movie and then you'll get the second one 3 months early?
So E's II and III will be released in Sep and Oct of '13. So the big news is you get to wait a year and a half for the first movie and then you'll get the second one 3 months early?
I'm fairly sure I'll see them at some time, but I doubt it'll be midnight on opening night.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
What happened to one per year? That makes more sense than waiting longer and throwing the two weakest installments out together.
That's my jacket!
But, this film release "news" smells of desperation. Or worse, apathy.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I suspect once they got the ILM importing process down, doing Ep 2 and Ep 3 were equally easy, and the February flop release of Ep 1 made another Feb release unwise to repeat. That said, there's zero chance that Ep 4 is going to be as easy, and I wouldn't be surprised if they've been working on its conversion for the last few months already.
Lucasfilm really needs to get this release dropped in May to July, not after August but before the holidays.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Episodes II-III are guaranteed to not do well. Episodes IV-VI are guaranteed to do well.
I'm not saying that based on my personal lack of esteem for these movies, but the general population perceives the OT as these classics of western civilization, and the PT as, well, just kinda there. If Episode I didn't do well, the other two won't do much better. (I'm assuming they'd do a little better, since most people are wrong and think II-III are better than I, but nowhere near what IV-VI will do.)
Of course, people may realize they're the blu ray versions and not pay to seem them, anyway.
That's my jacket!
Here's the problem, the prequel 3D is going to look good, almost every shot is easier to work with because it's digitally composited in some way, often a character or vehicle or background is easy to pull out, and it's shot on digital so there's no film grain to fight. The OT was shot 36 years ago on film stock, the ANH film stock is destroyed and only the Special Editions remain and their digital effects work looks like garbage by today's standards, I mean it's shocking how awful the digital in the OT looks, it's horrendous, everything's blurry and cartoony and shoddy and jumpy, so all that is going to make a mess of the 3D conversion process. I suspect the OT won't handle conversion as well as the PT and people won't respond well to that.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

I saw about five minutes of AOTC 3D at the panel with Dennis Muren and Jon Knoll, and it definitely looks fantastic. The clip included the opening logos, Padmé's ship landing and exploding, a little of the Zam chase, Dexter Jettster, the aiwha on Kamino, C-3PO getting his head knocked off, most of the Yoda/Dooku fight, and the loyalists looking over the clones. Sometimes they were able to take background plates from ILM to make the conversion easier and cleaner, but most of the time they'll still have to just cut around everything, place it in 3D space, and then pull out the individual parts of the object and painting in the background for the separate eyes' images. I'm not sure how much of one method is used versus another. They showed examples of different artistic possibilities and are absolutely doing it right. I haven't seen a ton of 3D, but I've seen a fair amount, and TPM was probably the best example of post-conversion I've seen. So it's a shame that not many people saw it, whether they're tired of 3D or didn't like the movie or whatever (I wanted to see it more but was busy with school at the time). All the industry 3D hype aside, it really was a completely different way to see the movie and be more immersed in it, quite frankly. The AOTC footage looks deeper than that film did as well, so it might be that they're pushing it further, or that there are just more opportunities than TPM. 3D isn't right for every movie, but it works for these.
When they did the Special Editions, they digitally recomposited most (if not all) of the effects shots anyway, so they should probably be able to use that information to the same ends they're using it for the 3D prequels. If not, well, there are significantly fewer elements in most of the OT shots, so given enough time they could probably do the cut-and-pull type of job on most of it just fine. Grain shouldn't really be that big of a problem, either - other films have been post-converted from the pre-digital era, the effects in at least ANH were shot in such a way to minimize image degradation, and TPM wasn't shot on digital anyway and turned out fine.

My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Which is funny, because the actual footage from 1977 looks really good, crisp and smooth. It's only the "improvements" from the Special Edition and the DVD release that look horrible, choppy, and out of place. The nice thing about film is that it doesn't really have a resolution, so you can scan it into the computer at print quality resolution if you want to, which is significantly higher resolution than Blu-Ray. A 1080p Blu-Ray image has 1440x1080 pixels for an images that is 20" by 15" at 72 dpi. A print quality 20" by 15" images would be 6000x4500 pixels at 300 dpi (although the dpi can go up to 1600 for print images, which would be 32000x24000 pixels). So a basic print-quality image is over 4 times better than the so-called "high-resolution" Blu-Ray image. That's why the old films never seem to have a problem translating to the 1080p format. Clearly, they never considered higher-resolution formats when rendering out the Special Edition CG sequences.
I bought the Star Wars Blu-Ray set a month or so ago, but I've been hesitant to watch ESB and ROTJ because of how badly ANH was marred by the so-called "enhancements". I might just trade in the entire Blu-Ray set and not risk soiling my memories of ESB and ROTJ.
Besides, the packaging for the 6-movie Blu-Ray set is the worst design I've ever seen. It feels like I'm going to snap the discs in half just trying to remove them from those ridiculous sleeves they packed them in.
Now I'm fully willing to join the campaign to get the pre-Special Edition Original Trilogy on Blu-Ray. I think George Lucas owes it not just to his fans, but to the entire movie industry.
Oh wait, this thread is about the 3D versions of Ep2 and 3 right? I might go see Ep3 in 3D, but that's only if I have absolutely nothing else to do. After what I saw on the ANH Blu-Ray, I'm almost hesitant to go see the OT in 3D now. But, maybe if everything in the movie looks like a South Park cardboard cutout, then the Special Edition effects won't look so bad anymore.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
StarWars.com posted that the conversions of AOTC and ROTS have been "postponed" so they can focus on Episode VII. Whaa??? I really wonder what this will mean for the tie-in products and the packaging designs. Presumably they won't be released until after Episode VII, if at all, meaning the same for the OT. Very odd indeed.

GLORY CEO Andrew Whitaker Talks SuperFight Series and More
- Written by Dave Walsh
When it comes to Kickboxing, there is nothing hotter right now that GLORY Sports International, best know for the GLORY Kickboxing events. GLORY houses some of the Kickboxing world's greatest talents and have been putting on some of the best shows in the sport for over a year now. GLORY began when Pierre Andurand and Marcus Luer teamed up with Golden Glory, who had some success with their own Ultimate Glory and Glory World Series events, to make the promotion that we know now, and since then it has been growing rapidly into one of the top combat sports leagues in the world.
LiverKick sat down with GLORY Sports International's CEO, Andrew Whitaker, to discuss all things GLORY and what is in store for the promotion in the near and far future. Whitaker initially served on the board of directors for GLORY Sports International before transitioning to the CEO position this January and it has been an interesting transition for him, coming from a background in entertainment and sports entertainment, previously working at Kings Highway Media and most notably for WWE. His career within the WWE spanned many years and many positions, placing him in a rather unique position when it comes to producing sports entertainment television and expanding a business on an international scale.
The transition for Whitaker was one that forced him to get down and really learn about the business before he took the reins of the company this year. "Obviously there was a period of immersion to all things GLORY kickboxing. As you know, I obviously worked in entertainment for many years, albeit working with the sports business as well with my former employer. It was more the sports and entertainment businesses, as it was more efficient to do so. In that sense, the licensing people in sports, the live events people in sports on a global basis, the media rights people in sports on a global basis are all people that I've been working with for a very, very long time. While I come from what is a very successful entertainment brand and helped grow a global entertainment brand, the transition for me to sports was more about me learning about the specific sport of kickboxing than it is on a business-to-business basis, or a business-to-consumer basis that we have here in America and globally."
Whitaker, while he might have a strong background in building up brands and knows his ins and outs, still does admit that there are challenges for the sport of Kickboxing. "I think that the thought behind the formation of GLORY was that; here is a great sport with great athletes from around the world and there hadn't been a real successful business built off of it with K-1, even if it was a big and successful sport with a lot of great athletes. I think that the thought process was that GLORY Sports International would go out and lock down the world's top and developing talent, then begin to create television programming with these athletes. When you watch GLORY programming it just lends itself to television. Obviously there are events that would lend themselves better for pay-per-view, but that is something for the future, possibly in 2014 as a major media property, with the 8-man tournaments. For television though, and the limited time windows, this property lends itself extremely well to that. Most importantly you have the top athletes in the world and you have that as the building block, then you have the three minute rounds. When you watch GLORY Kickboxing there is no rest, there is no stopping. It is continuous, fast, furious action from tremendous athletes and I feel that the tournament formats, be it the 4-man, 8-man or even 16-man tournaments are very compelling television -- especially when it is done in one night. You get the beginning, the middle and the end in one night.
"As far as challenges are concerned, the biggest challenge beyond refining the management team and the operations, is that the television program and the media platform content needed to be of a certain quality. It was very good, but has been improved even more and will continue to do so with the production team that we've built. Then is also the amount of television programming is critical. Having programming on once a month is great, but if you can deliver more than one sports program a month that is very important. We'll be doing just that starting in September, we'll be producing four different television programs out of each television shoot. This will allow for extra highlight programming, best of programming, promotional magazine programming and then of course the event programming, which will be the live event and the recorded event, which will air on the heels of that. That is the GLORY SuperFight Series."
The GLORY SuperFight Series is a big part of the focus for GLORY coming up, as GLORY is looking at it beyond just airing fights, but instead to create a viable platform for fighters to move up the rankings and work towards securing a spot within the next tournament. "It's built into the rankings system that we've established, in the sense that we have the, for example, four-man Middleweight tournament, those are the top four Middleweights in the GLORY rankings. The other top athletes at Middleweight that are in the SuperFight series are all looking to move up the rankings and earn themselves a spot in the next Middleweight tournament. That is the raison d'etre really for the GLORY SuperFight series, it gives all of the athletes in GLORY in a weight category the chance to move up the rankings so that they can get into the tournament."
A big part of moving the GLORY brand forward has to do with their broadcast partners as well, with them moving to Spike TV in October here in the United States. "Certainly we are interested in our affiliate customers in any given country across the world to carry the best of GLORY television programming, so certainly we'd like for that to be the case, but at this moment I can't speak to any specific plans in relation to that. We will launch on Saturday, October 12th with GLORY 11 from Chicago. Obviously GLORY 10 takes place before that on September 28th in the Los Angeles Metro area, and then off the back of the premier of GLORY on Spike we have GLORY 12 coming from the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, Saturday, November 23rd. So that is kind of the next run of quote unquote GLORY events from which the GLORY television programming will be derived."
What was clear from talking to Whitaker is that there is a vision for the GLORY brand moving forward and that it will be a combination of the tried-and-true approach to promotion a sport as well as some more unique methods that come with producing more programming that we haven't seen in Kickboxing before. Whitaker was quick to point out that there is a diverse team at play within GLORY from many diverse backgrounds, including that fight background that having someone like Cor Hemmers brings to the table that is indispensable. It sounds like this is just the beginning for GLORY and that over the coming weeks, months and years to expect a lot more.

Posted it in the MLB thread, but it belongs here as well....Bob Feller, long time pitcher for the Cleveland Indians passed away tonight.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
It's sad. He was awesome in every way!! I love that he had such a passion for the sport that he showed up at training camp just to be a part of it. I almost want to go out to Progressive Field and see the statue this evening. *sigh*
Blake Edwards (you probably know him best for the Pink Panther series). He was 88.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Bob Feller is the only sports player/official/coach I ever got to sign something in person (I mailed cards and requests and tried to get autographs from others). His interviews in which his extremely detailed memories filled in every detail were amazing in which to listen.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
With Bob Feller not only did we lose one of the most iconic baseball players but we also lost a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy and one of the first, if not THE first baseball player, to leave the big leagues to answer the call of duty and defend his country in WWII.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
About now, all of Heaven is rocking out to a live version of "Muffin Man," for Captain Beefheart has joined his buddy Frank Zappa in the afterlife.
And another under-appreciated musical genius passes with little fanfare from the mainstream media, who do not know what to do with music that does not fit neatly into their genre niches.
That's my jacket!
Steve Landesberg, who played Sgt. Arthur Dietrich in probably my favorite TV show of all time, Barney Miller. Another victim of the Big C.

Were these instructions helpful?
0. Opened packaged and receipt verified the parts against the drawing and packing slip. 1. Disconnected dryer from power source by pulling the plug.2. Removed the two screws (philips) on left and right side of the main frame to allow access to the blower assembly.3. (Optional)Verified power dead at the circuitry near the blower wheel assembly (former navy electrician- "check it dead").4. Removed the two screws at the base of the wheel cover using the screw driver (philips). The other screws on the assembly cover required the use of a 1/4" nut driver.5.

Jack Levine.....a very good friend.
As our prayers for peace and comfort go out to our loved ones and friends during the holiday season, our hearts are broken by the horrific news of the massacre of 28 innocents.....20 young girls and boys and 8 adults who taught and loved them....in Newtown, Connecticut. While we grieve for this tragic loss of life, I sincerely believe we must energize our resolve to take action to reform our gun and super-weapon laws.
Our policy leaders should be supported to enact prohibitions on gun show purchases without background records checks, limitation on the sale of super multi-round ammo magazines, as well as restrictions on access to military-designed automatic weapons. We should join forces with our law enforcement, public health allies, reform advocates and families affected by firearms violence in this fight to bring needed legal redirection.
Legitimate gun ownership for self protection, historic collections and sports is not at issue....but what is clear is we are at a point in our lives when logical lines of defense must be drawn. The debate should not be whether any change is needed.....but to what degree are we willing to recognize that slaughter can be prevented if we mesh quality mental health services with strong and enforceable firearms laws.
Christmas kitties!

Early morning Teton sky. We stopped to get air in our car tires.
This is where we set up a spotting scope to watch for the Teton Wolf Pack. The minute the scope was set up the wolves started to howl. We didn't see any wolve on this day but we went back for the next three days and saw a hunting pair. You can barely see the car. It was quite a hike to the top of this ridge

This flavorful three cheese dip is ready in just 30 minutes - serve with bread and a variety of vegetables.
In French, the word fondue means "melted." In gastronomy, a fondue is a recipe cooked and served in a heated pot right at the dinner table. Cheese fondue and chocolate fondue are popular in the United States. In vogue in the 1970s, fondue is making a comeback, particularly for relaxed entertaining.
Havarti is a pale and creamy Danish cheese marked with small holes. Its mild, slightly tangy flavor makes Havarti a popular sandwich cheese.
Sprinkle chopped fresh chives over the cheese mixture in the fondue pot. Garnish the platter of roasted vegetables and bread with long strands of chives or sprigs of another fresh herb.

The holiday season offers lots of opportunities to spark your romance. Couples can draw closer together and singles can search for new connections. Even if the weather outside is cold and snowy, these tips will warm your heart.
Romantic Tips for Couples
- Spend time together. Take a break from the holiday bustle to give each other a little special attention. Spend some evenings at home before the fire or hold hands while you take a long walk through the freshly fallen snow.
- Create special rituals. Invent your own holiday traditions. Make a tree ornament each year and watch your collection grow over time. Watch an annual marathon of holiday movies and TV specials served up with eggnog and toasted nuts.
- Be nice to your in-laws. Earn some brownie points by being kinder to your partner's family. Encourage your kids to make crafts that they can give to their grandparents or set up a special outing for them if they live nearby.
- Exchange meaningful gifts. For example, if you honeymooned in Paris, give each other tickets for a return trip with reservations at the same hotel. For the years you can't get away, pick up a special bottle of French wine.
- Extend your hospitality. Your relationship will grow stronger from sharing your blessings with others. Invite your neighbors over for brunch. Donate your old books to a senior center and volunteer to read them aloud.
- Reminisce and plan ahead. Look back and remind yourself of happy memories. Share with each other the qualities you value in each other. Set goals for the future like starting a rose garden in the spring.
- Stay physically fit. Keep your love life strong by taking care of each other. Avoid holiday weight gain and exercise each day. Manage stress and stick to a regular sleep schedule. Give each other a new gym club membership.
Romantic Tips for Singles
- Build up your confidence. Social pressures can sometimes make people uncomfortable about being single. Remind yourself of your strengths and accomplishments. Develop a healthy sense of self-esteem.
- Take charge of your own happiness. Your life has value regardless of your marital status. Act happy and you'll soon feel better. Devote your time to meaningful activities and those good feelings will endure.
- Socialize more. If you want to meet new people, you may need to go out more. Accept those holiday party invitations or throw your own potluck gatherings.
- You may be more comfortable with an activity like ice skating instead of making conversation at cocktail parties. Bring along a friend if you're hesitant to show up alone.
Celebrate the holidays by spending more time with the ones you cherish and by reaching out to new people. The love and affection you give away will return to strengthen your old relationships and create new ones. And that's truly something to celebrate, all year long.

Mother fighting to get daughter's cause of death determined
SPOKANE, Wash. - A Spokane mother is asking the medical examiner's office to rule her daughter's death a homicide so detectives can go forward and make an arrest in the case.
Kala Williams' dismembered body was found in a wooded area last May at the bottom of the Sunset Hill. Today a small memorial marks the spot where the dismembered remains of the 20-year-old Spokane resident were found.
To date the medical examiner has not determined the cause and manner of Kala Williams' death. Martine Maggio first had to deal with her daughter's death; now she's dealing with not knowing how Kala died or the knowledge there may be someone out on the streets right now who knows how she died.Kala Williams folo
"It's not something I would wish on any family," Maggio said Wednesday.
Maggio is certain of one thing: She feels her daughter was murdered. Williams, a former Ferris High School student, was found dismembered and placed in trash bags in a remote, wooded area on the Sunset Hill.
"Truly I think it was foul play because whoever was involved obviously dismembered her. She didn't do that herself. She didn't put herself in a bag. She didn't transport herself down to where she was found so there's obviously foul play involved," Maggio said.
However during the autopsy of Williams' remains, medical examiner Dr. John Howard found no obvious signs of trauma; no bullet wounds, no stab wounds. Dr. Howard listed her cause and manner of death as undetermined.
"If she had fallen down the stairs or hit her head on the hearth of a fireplace someone would have gotten medical attention for her or a hit and run.. The neighbors would have seen," Maggio said.
It's possible Williams was cut up by a panicked friend after an accidental death but doctors have ruled out a drug overdose and that makes murder a much more likely scenario. However medical examiners have to stick with the facts and aren't allowed to speculate on cause of death.
And what Maggio wants now are facts. She wants to know how her daughter was killed.
"I want to have some concrete answers so the case can be pursued actively. That's what I want," she said.
Dr. Howard has agreed to meet with Maggio and explain what's hurting his ability to determine the cause and manner of death. Maggio might have to appeal to the Spokane County prosecutor to get this case moving forward even without the help of the medical examiner's office.

The omega-3s in fish oil are some of the most powerful heart support nutrients you can take and many of us simply aren't getting enough of them. In her new PBS health special, Heart of Perfect Health, Brenda Watson reveals that an estimated that 84,000 people a year die from a lack of omega-3 in their diet.
So where do we get omega-3? It's found in cold water fish such as salmon, sardines, and mackerel, in flax seeds, and in certain nuts such as walnuts. Experts recommend 1,000 mg or more of omega-3 each day for optimum heart health support, an amount that can be difficult to get from diet alone.
Many are now turning to a fish oil supplement to help boost their omega-3 intake. Omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in the overall health of the body.ǂ They are integrated into the membranes of almost every type of cell in the body, helping to balance the excessive omega-6 fatty acids that come from the Standard American Diet (SAD).
Scientific research confirms that Omega-3 supplementation supports heart health by helping to maintain healthy cholesterol, triglyceride and blood pressure levels already in the normal range.ǂ Omega-3s help maintain these key markers by supporting the body's normal inflammatory response, promoting optimal heart, blood vessel, and joint health.ǂ
Your 4 Point Fish Oil Checklist
Not all omega-3 fish oils are created equal. Use this checklist to ensure you are getting the most heart health benefits out of your fish oil:
- Potency. Make sure each fish oil capsule contains at least 1,000 mg of omega-3, not just 1,000 mg of fish oil. Reaching your recommended 1,000+ mg of daily omega-3 is pretty tough to do if you have to take a whole handful of fish or krill oil capsules with a low omega 3 content.
- Absorption. You are only what you absorb. Choose a fish oil that is enteric coated to help deliver omega-3s to the intestines where they are absorbed.ǂ Enteric coating also reduces the fishy burping or repeat you can get with fish oil supplements.
- Vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 helps to promote the body's healthy inflammatory response as well as supports the immune system and strong bones.ǂ A fish oil with added vitamin D3 is ideal because this vitamin is best absorbed when taken with healthy fats, such as omega 3s.ǂ
- Highest Purity. Look for a fish oil with the International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) stamp. IFOS is the industry's most stringent independent certifier of fish oil quality that promises you aren't getting the mercury, PCBs, and contaminants that show up in certain fish oil sources.
Norwegian Gold EPA 1000 meets all the above criteria plus it contains a pure blend of omega-3 EPA , which has been clinically researched for its specific heart health benefits.ǂ

Blue print is a multiform art medium: written and spoken words, digital images and paint on canvas. Its driving force is the concern I have for the future, and what it will be for all our grandchildren. The influence of Namarrang, my mother's brother, had a very strong impact on us as a family.
What does the future hold for the next generations? What will exist in 50 years time and then in 100 years? How many changes will have occurred in the past 50 years? What has been lost? More importantly, what will we decide to keep? What is it that we will value?
With my younger brother's support, I made a decision that I would commence a project that would provide information and knowledge that may be useful to my grandchildren's generation because that is our responsibility. Transferring knowledge orally is no longer as effective as it was in my grandmother's day so we are in need of new ways. Being innovative and adapting are attributes that we all excel in. I was very aware I needed to expand my own knowledge and I needed my family for that.
Many of my family have contributed in very great ways. I was given information and guidance, I was blocked when it was thought I needed it and, best of all, I had many, many great discussions with my family. It has been a journey, intellectually and creatively.
The paintings I have since made do not do this story justice, Warramurrunggundji's epic story is simply too big. But in hearing about her, our ancestor, and exploring her ongoing legacy to us, perhaps I have a glimpse of what innate beauty is and can be.

As I'm sure many of you know already, An early demo of DOOM III was leaked to the public by ATI and apparently, they also leaked a build of Unreal Warfare. :sur:
My question is,
If you were ATI, would you be sweating a little? :D
Man I sure would be! Besides the obvious things, John Carmack(sp?) the dude who brought us the Doom games and will be bringing us DOOM III has(had?) a deal with ATI that DOOM III would be fully supportive of their video cards. Do you think that the leak will injure this agreement?

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Josh! I'm sorry, I must have missed the question.
When we have the attention of a teen focused toward fishing, it serves us and the future of our sport to keep you interested.
I know when I was your age I loved fishing but was busy thinking about cars, girls, sports, etc. Still managed to get the fishing time in though.
Here's a saying that was told to me by an old timer who frequents a popular river in Washington state, nickname "shadow"...
"When I was young I used to think about all the girls I was missing cause of fishing. Then when I got older I thought about all the fishing I was missing to keep my girl".
When we asked... so which is better? He replied "let's just say the fishin's still good".
That's a classic line I've been saving for a book I've been working on for about 10 years now. One of these days I will get the time to put it into print.
Josh, hang in there - most of us are in the world of fast-paced business survival trying to get a little fishing in! Enjoy your freedom while you can.
how long this takes
how come it takes anyone soo long to answer on this site. It s rediculous.

Surgeon Uses Google Glass and iPad To Capture Live Procedure and Streams It To a Hangout
Dr. Rafael Grossman strapped on his Google Glass eyewear to become the first "Glass Explorer Surgeon." The procedure involved is called Gastrostomy, a process by which a surgeon inserts a feeding tube into a patient's abdomen. In this case, the good doctor performed the procedure endoscopically, such that he was able to display the entire procedure and the view of it directly as it was being performed. Dr. Grossman was careful not to reveal any personally identifiable information about the patient and of course he was given full permission to perform the procedure this way.
Dr. Grossman goes on to explain...
"I arranged for a Google Hang-Out (HO) between my Glass and a Google account I created ahead of time for this very purpose.Nicely done, Doc. The opportunities for remote medical consultation, mentoring and even real-time guidance are obvious with the sort of technology that products like Google Glass bring to the table. Imagine a world where doctors can reach medical staff and patients thousands of miles away and help them directly, to save lives. That world sort of world is becoming a reality in the not so distant future it seems.
The connection is remote. The iPad used as a receiver was just yards away, but it could have been practically thousands of miles away. Before starting the operation, I briefly recorded myself explaining the planned event, and once again, talked about the importance of not revealing any PHI (patient's health information).
I had Google Glass on at all times, with the HO active thru-out the procedure. The live video images that I saw thru Glass, were projected in the iPad screen, remotely. We kept the volume down on purpose. We tried to keep it very simple (the KISS principle!) and straight forward. As I said, even the procedure was a simple one.
I was able to show not just the patient's abdomen, but also the endoscopic view, in a very clever, simple and inexpensive way."
We hear lots of stories of added convenience and better quality of life as a result of the wonders of technology and related advancements. You might say a lot of it feels a bit superficial and materialistic at times, actually. It's always nice to hear stories of how not only "quality of life" is improved but how lives are actually saved as a result of these magnificent inventions we create.

You can love the way you look all through your pregnancy. Try these simple ways to help you feel more beautiful inside and out.
Positive Thinking
1. Practice constructive self-talk. Put a positive spin on all the new things you're experiencing. Let your growing tummy remind you of the joys of motherhood. Focus on your best physical features, whether it's your eyes or your new bust line.
2. Welcome support from your loved ones. Accept compliments graciously when your partner or other loved ones tell you that you're glowing. Surround yourself with family and friends who make you feel good.
3. Remember that the weight gain is temporary. Take comfort in knowing that you'll soon return to your usual size. Post-pregnancy weight loss will be even easier if you work with your doctor to stick to sensible eating and exercise habits. This usually means gaining about 25 to 35 pounds over 9 months.
Strategic Dressing
1. Buy a variety of flattering maternity clothes. Attractive and comfortable outfits will make pregnancy more pleasant. There are many options that'll show off your curves without highlighting your abdomen. Look for tie-backs and side shirring on tops. Wrap-around dresses and empire waists are also good choices.
2. Stretch your wardrobe budget. Shop for styles that will work for all three trimesters. Stomach panels and stretchy fabrics like spandex will expand along with you. Get separates that you can accessorize for both casual and more formal occasions.
3. Select the right bras. Most women gain a cup size or more. Get professional fittings to ensure adequate support and to make your clothes look their best. You may want to start wearing your nursing bra during your last trimester.
4. Check your shoe size. Even your feet get bigger during pregnancy. Protect your health and look more graceful by getting shoes that fit. Wedges or chunky heels can give you extra height without throwing off your balance.
Additional Suggestions:
1. Style your hair. Your hair may grow more lustrous during pregnancy thanks to changing hormones and prenatal vitamins. Consider wearing it long and wavy to complement your fuller figure. Side-swept bangs, layers, and highlights also help to slim your face.
2. Change your eyeglass frames. If your face gets rounder, you can use eyeglass frames to create the illusion of angles and greater length. Experiment with rectangular shapes and skinny rims.
3. Minimize sun exposure. Your skin becomes more sensitive to the sun during pregnancy. Avoid premature aging by wearing protective clothing and using sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
4. Treat acne breakouts. Acne is common in expectant mothers. Talk with your doctor about safe treatments. Consult your doctor with safety questions about any health and beauty products you use while you're expecting.
5. Banish dark under-eye circles. Some women find that the skin under their eyes appears darker during pregnancy. You can minimize this by getting plenty of sleep. Putting cucumber slices over your eyes also helps. If circles persist, use concealer in a shade close to your skin tone and blend it well. Avoid using mascara and eyeliner on your lower lashes.
6. Play up your nails. You may be one of the lucky women whose nails start growing faster and stronger. In any case, you can draw attention to your pretty hands by treating yourself to a manicure. Just use phthalate-free nail polish and apply it in a room that's well ventilated.
Pregnancy is an incredible experience! Take good care of your baby and celebrate your changing body.

RBC Capital's Amit Daryanani today reiterates a Sector Perform rating on server acceleration technology vendor Fusion-io (FIO), and cuts his price target to $16 from $19, reflecting both concerns about the transition in May to a new CEO, and also what he thinks will be a more sluggish return of business at top customers Apple (AAPL) and Facebook (FB).
On the management front, Daryanani is not comfortable with uncertainty about whether strategy has changed since co-founder and CEO David Flynn left abruptly in early May, and Shane Robison took over:
We remain concerned about the manner in which the CEO transition was handled. Our conversations with CEO Shane Robison suggest that the decision was driven to improve FIO's operational focus long-term and not to alter its strategy or financial targets. Also, FIO is confident that the CEO transition will not result in any key customer dislocation. However, we await further details on what changes to strategy and implications for the financial model the new CEO will have.
He also sees "a muted rebound" in Fusion's business with its two top customers, Apple and Facebook, and expects "a conservative guide that would peg FY14 growth below its prior target of 40–50%" when the company reports fiscal Q4 results on August 7th. He cut his estimates for the year to $535 million in revenue from $590 million, but also raised his EPS estimate to 45 cents from 33 cents.
We are modeling FY14 revenues of $535M, implying 23% growth, which will be back- half heavy as we are modeling for H1:14 revenue growth of ~7%. Our lower revenue estimates reflect: i) less clarity on the ramp-back of revenues with AAPL post the pause in Dec-12; and ii) increased revenue contribution from ioScale (at the cost of hardware sales) will result in revenue headwind […] We maintain our Jun-qtr estimate of $110M, which is in line with management's guidance, our model implies 3% y/y growth (25% q/q growth) as we are modeling a continued rebound at FB from $14M in Mar-qtr to ~$20M in Sep-qtr, while we expect AAPL to remain around $10M in Jun-qtr (vs. $6M estimate in Mar-qtr).
Finally, Daryanani is concerned about increasing competitive efforts at EMC (EMC), Western Digital (WDC), and Intel (INTC), among others:
Despite multiple OEMs launching PCIe SSD solutions (EMC XtremSF, Virident, Intel -CAS, Micron, LSI WarpDrive, SanDisk), we view Fusion-io's architecture and time-to-market advantage as a differentiator although we note that larger players are starting to get more aggressive in the segment, which could negatively impact FIO: EMC XtremSF, WDC post STEC acquisition, and SNDK post four enterprise SSD acquisitions.
Fusion-io stock is up 15 cents, or 1%, at $14.69.
