I just took this cake out of the oven about an hour ago. It is a "practice run" for Easter dinner. It is delicious and I am confident it will be a crowd pleaser. One thing, though---it was done in WAY less time than the recipe said so keep your eye on it. The cake was perfect at just under an hour. 4/4
Oh yes! Everybody loves this. Sophisticated, but easy to make and spectacular texture and flavor, especially after soaking the warm cake with the lemon juice/sugar mixture. After making this a bunch of times, I don't bother to measure the lemon zest. I just use the zest of two whole lemons, then juice those and add sugar to taste for the warm cake soak. If you don't want to have to grind the almonds, you can buy almond flour in Trader Joes (near the whole almonds in bags and such. I found that adding a Tbsp or two of finely chopped BASIL to the Balsamic Strawberries is fantastic, especially if you let that sit a bit before serving. A really great dessert. You will not be disappointed.
Sounds great, but before I make it ... Does anyone know if/how it can be frozen? thanks!
I made this last night and served it today. It was a breeze, a simple, homey cake, the best kind of cake for close friends and special (but casual) get-togethers. Lemon is the star here, playful and assertive; the balsamic strawberries are a deeply fruity and caramel background. Pop this cake in the oven before you start making dinner and you've done all the hard work--the balsamic strawberries are a snap, so really all that's left to do is to serve it. It would also be nice to serve this at a brunch or tea. I'd say the danger here is overbaking...luckily, I checked the cake early, and it was done. The tester came out clean but it was still perfectly moist in the center. The lemon glaze helps to moisten the drier outer edges of the cake, and it also gives it a sweet, crusty glaze. Some lightly sweetened whipped cream would be nice with this. I'll probably try that next time.
We made three batches of the loaf cake part of this recipe and baked it in small loaf pans. Perfectly delicious.
This was great - definitely a keeper! I made 1/3 of the recipe in a small loaf pan. I started by cooking for 30 minutes then reduced the heat to 325F and probably cooked it another 10-15 minutes (I lost track of time).
This cake came out great. My roommates and I loved it. I didn't have any almond flour so I replaced it with cake flour and used 1 1/2 tsp each of almond and lemon extract. I also had some heavy cream laying around so I replaced 1/4cp of the buttermilk with that.Other than that I followed the recipe exactly.
Absolutely scrumptious. I brought it to work and had several requests for the recipe. The balsamic strawberries added a nice tang to the super-sweet loaf.
I was looking for a recipe to use up some left-over buttermilk. Followed the recipe as writen but only needed to bake the "loaf" for 1 hour. The loaf was light and airy, the strawberries were lovely - I cut them the night before and let them sit in the vinegar to enhance the flavor. This made them a bit soggy, but tasty. My BF loved it, and was shagrin for me to take it to work - where they gobbled it up!
My standby recipe especially when strawberries are in season.They really do add alot to the cake-I usually increase the vinegar/sugar to amount of berries.The glaze is delightful.All around yummy.

So how many 12" Star Wars figures do YOU currently own??
AND, if you can, Please post some pics of your collection or a link to your web page.
My answer:
I just started 12" s/w after seeing Epi 2, prior to that I was an avid 12" Dragon WWII collector w/ apx 150 figures. Most boxed due to lack of display space (read:apartment and 3 women!)
After Epi 2 I did a deal for a major collection of apx 35 loose 12" figures. Since then I have bought/traded for about 20 boxed figs and 10 loose ones too. I plan to buy/trade for some type of display case to house these in soon. Pics to follow, sit tight.
I have the start of my WWII figure web page with a few pics, it has a space for S/W but its still under construction.
See: http://personal.atl.bellsouth.net/li...attit/Home.htm
BTW-On the WWII forums I go by "CajunGIJOE" thus the title...

A dust mite allergy can range from mild to severe. A mild case of dust mite allergy may cause an occasional runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. In severe cases, the condition may be ongoing (chronic), resulting in persistent sneezing, cough, congestion, facial pressure or severe asthma attack.
Some signs and symptoms of dust mite allergy, such as a runny nose or sneezing, are similar to those of the common cold. Sometimes it's difficult to know whether you have a cold or an allergy. If symptoms persist for longer than one week, you might have an allergy.
If your signs and symptoms are severe — such as severe nasal congestion, difficulty sleeping or wheezing — call your doctor. Seek emergency care if wheezing or shortness of breath rapidly worsens or if you're short of breath with minimal activity.

Today I truly, deeply and really felt like a journalist. For the first time in the Basque country and for the first time in many months. I was on the road today.
Me, Markus and Rahel went on assignment to make a story and pictures about San Sebastian Food. We talked with the owner of the business, met the chef of the cooking classes, did a bit of cooking ourself (well I did) and went to pintxos bars to see what the owner of San Sebastian Food, Jon Warren, was talking about.
And I even met a nice French Ham seller and traditional ham slicer. He told me a lot about ham. And at that moment, when he was explaining me about hams and cutting I felt like a real journalist. And a vegetarian.

LiverKick Guest Commentary at BloodyElbow.com
- Written by Dave Walsh
A quick plug to throw out there: make sure you swing over to visit our friends at BloodyElbow.com to read the latest entry in their excellent Judo Chop series. Judo Chop breaks down the techniques used in MMA fights, and is always a good read. The latest takes a look at the great kicking arsenal used by John Makdessi at UFC 124, and features some quest commentray from yours truly. A quick sample:
"One of the chief techniques Makdessi employs is the side kick. You see this kick used from time to time, but it's rare in MMA that you see anyone use it as effectively as Makdessi does here. The side kick is typically thrown from the lead leg, turning your body so that you are perpendicular to your opponent's body. Often it's used almost like a jab, or a front kick, as a way to keep your opponent back. Makdessi uses it in the much more aggressive style. The key to his technique is in his rear leg. Note the way Makdessi jumps forward with his rear leg before throwing the kick. He brings that back leg all the way up to where his front leg was, while at the same time throwing that front leg as the kick. This gives him the momentum to kick through Audinwood, so that the point of impact on his kick is far past Audinwood's body."
For the full analysis, plus an army of gifs to help illustrate the points, read the full article. Would love to hear your comments!

salam.ar-rum 28.
Sahih InternationalHe presents to you an example from yourselves. Do you have among those whom your right hands possess any partners in what We have provided for you so that you are equal therein [and] would fear them as your fear of one another [within a partnership]? Thus do We detail the verses for a people who use reason.
as you see in this verse ALLAH SAY they are 2 person.

So, letting the girls dictate how Christmas is decorated this year (I'm trying) they requested more glitter. More sparkle.
More sparkle you say?
Then you shall get more sparkle!
So we decided to take some clear ornaments, you can find these anywhere right now. I'll stress that again, anywhere.
And, some Martha Stewart glitter, it came in a package of three but I bought the same kit last year so I'm overflowing with Gold glitter. Hate me, I know. The herpes of the craft world is having a serious outbreak at my house.
I also have an abundance of Mod Podge and glue because you just never know when you'll need it.
And, clearly this tutorial started out as a Ball Jar tutorial. Apparently I didn't take pictures of the ornaments. And you call this a tutorial Rachelle? Geesh.. But, well.. It's late. Pretend those are ornaments.
I'm really good at this.
Then you basically take your pick. I taped off one so I could spray paint it with some muted gold, which I'm a big fan of. It isn't yellowy at all. I also get really messy when it comes to spray paint. That can is embarrassing.
I taped one off and shhmeared some Mod Podge on it and dipped it in glitter.
Again, pretend that's an ornament. Mason Jar, ornament..Same thing.
Bet you'll never guess what my next tutorial is going to be…bwahahaha.
Moving on.
I used the glue to make little dots and sprinkled the glitter on it. My favorite! But super hard to photograph.
Chevron was used too, but he's a jerk and wouldn't photograph either.. You can see a bit of him up there though.
Are you laughing? I am. This tutorial is all over the place.
Blogger shmogger..I won't quit my day job anytime soon. ;)
Then, one I got really wild and put it in the spray paint cap to spray it and it turned out with a really cool ombre' effect.
So easy. The possibilities are endless with these clear ornaments, you know.
Put some snow in them, maybe a mini tree and it's like a winter wonderland!
Have the kids write out their Christmas wishes and tuck them inside for keepsakes every year.
Shells and sand from your vacations.
Sprinkles. Enough said.
Pinterest has a million to choose from if you're in need of some more inspiration.
Inspo, as my husband calls it–he says it'll go viral soon.
So, there you have it.. Some of my favorite sparkly ornaments as of late. :)
I've also done these little diddies in Christmases past.
I hope you're inspired to go make some ornaments this year. Because all that glitters IS gold!
I'll be sharing this post with The Nester's Craft Party & Beth's Tutorials and Tips Party!

Fish Wanted!
Hey guys. I'm wondering what kind of fish i can get in my 38 gallon fish tank. I have a Kribensis, 2 silver dollars, 1 panda garra (I think thats it), 1 dwarf gourami, 6 odesa (?) barbs and a brushy nose pleco. I would love to get another showcase fish to go with my silver dollars. I was thinking angel fish but not sure yet. Thanks in advance.
With the Krib, Garra, gourami and barbs you would be pretty well stocked already. With the silver dollars, which, in maturity may reach 6 inches across, I would not recommend adding, but subtracting fish. My personal recommendation would be to remove the silver dollars and add to the school of Odessa barbs. Most "showcase" fish are those that can be kept solitarily, and that is because they generally are territorial. You already have two territorial fish patrolling the tank(Krib, gourami)

Mentha Piperita, also known as peppermint, is a hybrid between spearmint and watermint. The peppermint plant is a perennial that grows in habitats that are shaded with a lot of moisture. During the summer, the peppermint yields purple flowers and dark green leaves that are harvested and used to make peppermint oil.
Peppermint oil has been used medicinally since the time of the ancient Greeks to treat various problems including digestive ailments. It turns out the Greeks were well ahead of their time. Some doctors now recommend peppermint oil to patients with irritable bowel syndrome to relieve their abdominal discomfort and cramping. Research also suggests that peppermint oil helps to relieve indigestion and abdominal fullness after a meal. It works by relaxing the smooth muscle in the wall of the gut so that cramping is relieved. No wonder peppermint oil is an ingredient in after-dinner mints!
People with a history of acid reflux diseases should only take enteric-coated peppermint oil since peppermint oil can irritate the stomach lining and make acid reflux worse. Peppermint oil can also be made into a tea to soothe the digestive tract by steeping 2 tablespoons of tea leaves in a cup of hot water for five minutes.
Mentha piperita and its oil have a high menthol content. Menthol helps to thin out mucous secretions and relieve the stuffiness of colds and respiratory viruses. To relieve clogged nasal passages, peppermint oil can be added to water and the vapors inhaled. It also helps to soothe sore, irritated throats and relieve cough. Peppermint oil not only relaxes the walls of the gut, it eases muscle tension and relieves tension headaches. Several studies show that applying peppermint oil topically to the head relieves tension headaches. Peppermint may even help with weigh control. In one study, people who breathed in peppermint oil when they had hunger cravings felt less hungry.
Peppermint oil has skin benefits too. The menthol in in the oil of menthe piperita helps to soothe dry, itchy irritated skin due to allergies or contact dermatitis. Due to its pleasant smell, manufacturers of cosmetics and personal care products have embraced peppermint oil as an ingredient in their products. It's used to add a pleasing odor or flavor to products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, breath fresheners, bath oils, body washes, body moisturizers, after-bath splashes, soap and foot moisturizers. Mentha piperita also has skin conditioning properties that make it ideal for body moisturizing products. In aromatherapy products, peppermint has an uplifting, energizing and stress-relieving effect.
Is peppermint oil safe? The active ingredients in peppermint oil are menthol and menthone, although it contains other compounds such as limone, pulegone and menthofuran. According to the International Journal of Toxicology, peppermint oil is only mildly toxic when taken orally at greater than recommended doses. One ingredient in peppermint, pulegone, is a liver toxin at high doses. This shouldn't be a problem for people who use recommended doses to treat headaches or digestive problems, although pregnant or young children shouldn't use it. It's possible that some peppermint plants may contain more pulegone than others, so oil from some peppermint plants may pose more of a health risk than others when used orally at high doses.
People with a history of acid reflux should only use an enteric-coated peppermint capsules when taking peppermint orally. In cosmetic and personal care products, peppermint oil is used at a concentration of less than 3%, an amount that seems to be safe. The Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database classifies it as a low-hazard cosmetic ingredient, and it has a history of being used for thousands of years medicinally without problems.
Peppermint oil gives products a fresh, pleasant taste and smell, and it may have medicinal properties for people with digestive problems and those with tension headaches or a stuffy nose. It also has an energizing, stress-relieving aroma and a helps to relieve itching and skin irritation. It appears to be safe in the amounts found in cosmetic and personal care products.

God created Football.
Yes fans its Saturday in the fall and time to settle in for football. As I laid out this season, which games I could not miss, the teams that have the best shot at a National title, and interesting story lines, I got caught up in what Football really is. It is a metaphor of life.
You see in order to make a run at the National Championship you need to have a great team. Teams are made up of individuals that have a vision, a goal, and a way to get there. The sum is greater than the parts on a team, but it takes indivuals pulling together with a single purpose to achieve their goal of winning.
For the individual Football is a challenge, a test. It pushes the player to limits that his body and mind must endure to achieve the goal. This a test of his will and character.
The individual player must recogonize that being a part of the team is more important than individual stats and fame. Along the way the player is going to be hit, knocked down, and stomped on. It is what he does next that is the test. When he pops back up and makes his way to the huddle, dusts himself off and readies himself for the next play he demonstrates his will.. his character. And it does not matter how many times he is knocked down.. what matters is how many times he picks himself up, shakes it off and moves on.
In life we are knocked down and tested every day. Weather it is family strife, financial woes, or just every day drama at work, how we pick our selves up is the important part.
How we act as a member of a team, a patrol, a group of Scout leaders, or a family, that is what is important. Setting goals and achieving success as a team is what we will use to measure ourselves one day.
So when God created football on the 6th day.. he created the metaphor for life…. Like Scouting it is a game with a purpose, how you play that game is up to you and if you play it right, you will be a Champion.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

It is important to always be aware of the strategy risks. The primary risk when placing a bear call spread is when the share price increases past the sold call option and an ever greater concern is if the share price increases above the bought call option (protection). Since you receive a premium to enter this trade there is a required margin. This margin can increase to as much as 1.2 times your maximum loss. For example if you were risk $5,000 the cash margin required in the account can increase to $6,000 (5000 *1.2) which includes the premium received. So it is important to know your maximum risk and make sure there are enough funds to cover the worst case scenario.
Another risk inherent with selling options is volatility. When you open the bear call spread you want the volatility to be high so you can sell the call options for as much value as possible. Once the trade is placed you want the volatility to drop off and time decay to kick in. So even if the share price stays still but volatility increases the position may not profit in the short-term. Increased levels in volatility mean to close out it will cost more to buy back the sold call option. If the share price increase above the sold put option prior to expiry there is potentially a risk of exercise.
The main risk of credit spreads is the risk of being exercised. If the sold call option is exercised it means that you are obligated to sell shares at the exercise price of the sold call option. This can have a negative impact in terms of you have sold shares you do not own which means you need to buy them back at the higher level and therefore locking in a loss on that position. If the share price is above the bought call option (protection) when exercised then you can sell the call option which will reduce the loss from being exercised. It is still not possible to lose more than the maximum risk before entering the trade. Another disadvantage of being exercised is the brokerage on the share sale and purchase so it is a good idea to try an avoid exercise. To avoid being exercised you need to monitor your position and more importantly the delta of the sold call option. If the share price is above the sold call option an indication of the likelihood of being exercised can be identified by the delta. If the delta on the sold call option is above 0.95 there is a chance being exercised. If the delta is above 0.98 then it is necessary to implement one of your exit strategies.
To avoid exercise there are two options. If you think the share price will keep increasing you can close the trade for a loss. If you think you view is correct and the share price will fall from this level and want to keep the position you can roll out to the next month. What this means is you can close the positions you have an open the same position for the next month and do this for no cost or a small credit. Therefore if the share price then decreases below the sold call by the next month you can still make maximum profit. This options is normally recommended unless your analysis, technical or fundamentals, indicate a change is trend or market conditions.

So, Apparently "FEG Will Die" According to Tanikawa
- Written by Dave Walsh
That really isn't a sensationalist headline or anything, that is a quote from FEG President Tanikawa from Sports Graphic that was released the other day in Japan. This comes around the same time that Tanikawa posted on his twitter that he would "do something huge." Actually, this interview came before that tweet was pushed out to the public. Quote comes from NOB, as always.
|"The current course is that FEG will die. There are probably staff members that will leave as well. The event name will be left but the promotion will change. If the current structure remains as it is it will be impossible to continue. If many investments from companies overseas do not come in we can't survive."
One can only really wonder what exactly will become of K-1 and DREAM. As we have been reporting from way back when we were HKL, part of the deal in place with PUJI was that FEG would need to do some serious restructuring to continue on into 2011. FEG was against major restructuring and the deal came to a standstill, when in the 11th hour PUJI and FEG came to an agreement and PUJI had found a few suitable investors for the restructured FEG.
So it looks like the FEG that we know and love will cease to exist, and in its place something new. K-1 and DREAM will continue on, and to the casual observer, there may not be too many differences. Now it is time to simply wait and see what else is announced in the coming days.
UPDATE: As always, if you use Twitter, you should follow @DanHerbertson, as he has some more quotes.
UPDATE 2: A sneaking suspicion was confirmed by Stuart Tomkin, that these quotes are indeed from the Dynamite!! post-press conference.

IDF is committed to building global political priority for diabetes. Without political priority, and global and national level action, diabetes will be stalled by a lack of attention and resources, and people with diabetes will continue to suffer and die needless deaths.
As an accredited organization to the United Nations (UN), and in official relations with World Health Organization (WHO), we work with the UN system to prioritise diabetes and related NCDs. We aim to create political opportunities at the highest level, and to raise the issue of diabetes and NCDs on the global political and development agendas.
Through our close relations with governments and our extensive network of Member Associations and regions, we connect the global political arena to action on the ground.
In the last six years, we have seen major progress in elevating diabetes onto the global health and development agenda, with the 2006 UN Resolution 61/225 on Diabetes and the 2011 UN High-Level Summit on NCDs.

Origins & Continuities
Spectacular art has been created throughout Southeast Asia for thousands of years. Ancient burial sites reveal the beauty and complexity of objects from early civilisations across the region. The elaborately decorated pots, impressive bronze drums and bells, rich gold ornaments, and the striking array of weaponry were made to celebrate life and death. Splendid metal objects were also special items in elaborate systems of exchange along the great rivers of mainland Southeast Asia and the sea routes into the islands.
Similar objects, shapes and designs are prominent in the art of many Southeast Asian communities 2000 years later, where the finest valuables are often still buried with the dead. These continuities and similarities are most evident amongst societies who trace their beliefs and practices back to the ways of their ancestors. Numerous traditional communities across Southeast Asia maintain strong beliefs in benevolent and malevolent supernatural forces, from spirits of nature, the gods of grain and demons of pestilence, to the ever-present mythological creator deities and the souls of the recently deceased. Through festivals and rituals, and associated art, communities seek to appease disruptive forces, to gain protection and ensure survival, wellbeing and prosperity.

This post is just to see if any on here are interested... The British Field Trial Society of America will be running several trials in the upcoming months as well as the spring! I believe the Gulf Coast chapter will be running some soon, and I know our two chapters in the northern parts of MS will run a few novice and open stakes.
I know a lot of readers here have British lines, but that's not required. Any labrador is welcome! The trials are walk-up with hand thrown, box launched, or live flushed game. They are run under the rules of the KC, and we have several A & B Pannel judges as well as some apprentice judges.
Definitely not an attempt to take away from AKC trials, AKC tests, UKC tests, etc. It's just a different way to have fun with your dog! We do award those who place, but we aren't running under any kennel club (just following the rules of one) so, you get bragging rights and a cool trophy! But hey, your dog doesn't know what all of her initials stand for anyway!
Post here or email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you want more info! I would love to meet new folks and run dogs on a fun day's shooting together!

Saugatuck, Douglas vote down merger plan: 3 Michigan cities ease marijuana laws
Residents of the Lake Michigan shoreline communities of Saugatuck and Douglas have rejected a proposal to merge.
Voters in both communities decisively turned down separate ballot proposals Tuesday.
Final unofficial results show Douglas voters opposing the proposal 63 percent to 37 percent, while Saugatuck's vote was 60 percent against to 40 percent in favor.
The Allegan County communities are about 40 miles southwest of Grand Rapids and are best-known as destinations for summer visitors who flock to beaches, restaurants and arts events.
Saugatuck has about 900 residents and Douglas about 1,200. Supporters of a merger say it makes sense to combine governments and services.
Campaign records show merger opponents have been greatly outspending by supporters.
Flint area voters elect Democrat Phil Phelps to state House
Democrat Phil Phelps has won a three-way race to represent the Flint area in the Michigan House of Representatives.
Phelps defeated Republican Don Pfeiffer and Libertarian Pat Clawson in Tuesday's special election for the heavily Democratic 49th House District seat.
The Genesee County seat was vacated when former Democratic Rep. Jim Ananich was sworn into the state Senate in May.
Phelps is a former legislative aide. Pfeiffer owns consulting businesses.
Republicans have a 59-50 edge over Democrats in the House, with one independent. Phelps will serve through 2014 and can run for re-election.
Traverse City mayor wins 3rd term after guilty plea
Traverse City Mayor Michael Estes won re-election a day after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving while impaired.
He defeated Rick Buckhalter in Tuesday's election to earn a third two-year term. He won the mayor's post in 2007 and 2011.
The 63-year-old was pulled over Oct. 23 after a candidates' forum. Police spotted his pickup truck weaving across turn and bike lanes on a downtown street. A breath test recorded a blood-alcohol content of 0.12 percent, exceeding the 0.08 percent legal limit for driving.
Estes pleaded guilty on Monday and faces a possible punishment of up to 93 days in jail. He has asked for the public's forgiveness.
3 Michigan cities vote to ease marijuana laws
Voters in three Michigan cities have given a big thumbs up to proposals offering some legal protection to users of small amounts of marijuana.
Proposals on the ballot Tuesday in Ferndale, Jackson and Lansing call on police to ignore possession of an ounce or less of marijuana on private property. People must be at least 21 years old.
Unofficial returns show Ferndale's proposal getting 69 percent support, Jackson's getting 61 percent and Lansing's getting 63 percent.
Marijuana users in the communities still face risks because state law bars marijuana use and possession unless it's medical marijuana.
In 2012, Grand Rapids voters chose to make possession of small amounts of marijuana a civil violation instead of a misdemeanor crime.
Grand Rapids OKs property tax increase to help city parks
Voters in Grand Rapids have given wide approval to an increase in property taxes to help give city parks a $4 million boost.
The city clerk's office says the proposal passed 60 percent to 40 percent Tuesday.
The 7-year, 0.98-mill levy will be used for park repairs and improvements as well as operation of city swimming pools.
Officials say the tax would cost the average Grand Rapids homeowner about $45 per year.
A mill is $1 per $1,000 of a property's assessed value, and Michigan assesses property at half its estimated market value.

The Siloam Tunnel is one of the highlights of the visit to the City of David: an ancient water tunnel still in tact
The Siloam Tunnel is one of the greatest adventures of a Jerusalem tour. It is a highlight of the visit to the City of David, the earliest remnants of Jerusalem, where visitors experience an amazing engineering feat: the 1,500-foot-long-tunnel created by King Hezekiah in 701 BCE to protect Jerusalem's water source, the Gihon Spring, from the invading Assyrians (2 Chron. 32:2-4).
Near the exit of the tunnel, the British explorer Captain Charles Warren (who first rediscovered it in 1867) found an ancient Hebrew inscription describing the construction. It says a team of diggers started at each end, listening for the sound of each other's pickaxes, and eventually met in the middle! As visitors slosh through the water, their flashlights pick up the marks of the ancient pickaxes, going in one direction until the meeting point and then going the other way. The water-walk takes about 45 minutes, and is recommended for visitors of all ages tall enough to wade through about two feet of flowing water. For land-lubbers, new excavations have revealed another tunnel, now dry but that still gives a sense of the greatness of Jerusalem's long ago laborers, monarchs and engineers.

County-by-county comparison of death rates finds that lifespans dropped in some U.S. counties
Catherine Clabby
As scientists from all disciplines know, where you look influences what you find.
By examining death rates county-by-county, public health researchers found that life spans, especially among women, fell in some United States counties. The numbers were small but such a reversal of fortune was, well, shocking.
"We started looking at disparity questions. This became arguably a bigger finding and a more depressing finding," said Majid Ezzati, an associate professor at the Harvard School of Public Health.
Ezzati, whose research results appeared in PLoS Medicine, is among scholars dicing and splicing mortality data to create more precise pictures of lifespan trends in the United States. The nation is not known as the life-expectancy leader in the developed world. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranks the life expectancy of women in the U.S. 27th globally.
But on average, things look pretty good: Americans still live longer than they used to. From 1961 to 1999, the time period Ezzati studied, life expectancy increased nationally from 67 to 74 years for men and from 74 to 80 years for women.
Still, research published in 2006, also in PLoS Medicine, emphasized how profoundly the story changes when you start sorting out disparate groups. For example, a life-expectancy gap of 21 years has been documented between 5.5 million Asian females and 3.4 million urban black men considered at high risk of injury or chronic disease. Native Americans living in or near reservations in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, as a group, don't match the average lifespan. Nor do low-income whites living in Appalachia and the Mississippi Valley.
Ezzati and his team focused on 2,068 counties (or combined, adjacent counties when single county population numbers were too small) since reliable death data can be found for these government entities. And counties are a means to explore geographic variability in lifespan.
Most striking were differences among people on the extremes. Among counties that make up 2.5 percent of the U.S. population with the highest or lowest life spans, men lived nine years longer in 1983 but 11 years longer by 1999. For women, the gap grew from 6.7 years to 7.5 years.
Between 1983 and 1999, male and female life expectancies had a statistically significant decline in 11 counties for men, representing 0.5 percent of the population, and in 180 counties for women, representing 3 percent of the population. The average lifespan decline averaged 1.3 years in those counties for both the men and the women.
Researchers did not break down their findings by race, but they did detect a socioeconomic pattern. People who fared worse in life-expectancy measures lived in U.S. regions long associated with poverty, including Appalachia and near the Mississippi River in the Deep South.
Preventable health problems seemed to drive the downturn, particularly diseases affected by cigarette smoking and excess weight and obesity. Increases in lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes were observed in the lowest-scoring counties. There was also a slowdown in the decline of heart disease, something U.S. citizens experienced on a national scale beginning in the 1960s.
Ezzati is hopeful his results eventually will help people who find themselves living in counties with the lowest-end life spans. For one, his team's research identified where they live. On top of that, it documented a higher than average prevalence of preventable diseases in their environs. With the right outreach, public health teams might be able to turn things around and increase the likelihood that people who need it get treatment for hypertension, for instance, or help quitting cigarettes.
"Reducing blood pressure and tobacco use is something this country has done a very good job of dealing with at the national level," Ezzati said. "Why is it that what we know how to do is not getting to people who need it most?"
Declines in life expectancy normally are linked to calamitous changes in a country, say the impact of the collapse of the Soviet Union and its healthcare safety net on Russia or the firestorm spread of HIV and AIDS across parts of Africa.
But James Vaupel, executive director of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany, saw a certain inevitability in the Ezzati team findings in the United States.
"Disparities are getting wider. We are moving in the wrong direction. People should be paying more attention to help those who are least well off," said Vaupel, who is also on the faculty of Duke University.
Ezzati agrees that disparities in health status are more extreme in the United States than in other developed countries. But he doesn't rule out the chance that a similar type of study in other parts of the world could turn up similar discrepancies.
"Other countries could have periods like this or versions of this," he said. "It would have to be looked at empirically."—Catherine Clabby

IMHO we have too many govt agencies. The fact that they feel the need to spend our $ scaring usmaking self serving propaganda about our need for them is rather telling.
If you don't think the "Gummints" out to get us and take away our Constitutionally guaranteed freedomsthen you have not been paying attention.
The 4th Am. has become a joke to them. Remember the Patriot Act? How about the Bush administration telling us they had not tapped any phones; it turned out they tapped EVERY phone. Now they are supposedly using drones to go after the rogue cop out in LA. I guess we all know that drones are 100% safe and dont ever miss their target and do collateral damage. They want to allow the military to kill US citizens: all they have to do is use a couple of magic words in describing their target. I could go on, but if you don't get it by now its useless.
If they make a video recomending that we defend ourselves with plastic scissors against an armed gunmen, then why do they not arm their agents with plastic scissors? Think of the money they'd save. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Right???
Homeland Security has scarecly been in existence for a decade and look at how huge and powerful they have become. IMHO we got along just fine without them. Its one of the biggest power grabs by the govt since the days of FDRs New Deal. Besides that if you haven't noticed we are leaking red ink all over the place. We cant afford more govt BS programs, especially ones that are designed to scare us so they can take away more of our freedoms.

there's no good reason to fatten up a retriever.
This further discussion of the ammo purchase by DHS appeared on the Forbes.com site just a few days ago.Another author is quoted in the articleAs reported elsewhere, some of this purchase order is for hollow-point rounds, forbidden by international law for use in war, along with a frightening amount specialized for snipers. Also reported elsewhere, at the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending less than 6 million rounds a month. Therefore 1.6 billion rounds would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years. In America.[T]he Department of Homeland Security is apparently taking delivery (apparently through the Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico VA, via the manufacturer – Navistar Defense LLC) of an undetermined number of the recently retrofitted 2,717 'Mine Resistant Protected' MaxxPro MRAP vehicles for service on the streets of theUnited States."These MRAP's ARE BEING SEEN ON U.S. STREETS all across America by verified observers with photos, videos, and descriptions."
Regardless of the exact number of MRAP's being delivered to DHS (and evidently some to POLICE via DHS, as has been observed), why would they need such over-the-top vehicles on U.S. streets to withstand IEDs, mine blasts, and 50 caliber hits to bullet-proof glass? In a war zone… yes, definitely. Let's protect our men and women. On the streets of America… ?"
…"They all have gun ports… Gun Ports? In the theater of war, yes. On the streets of America…?
Seriously, why would DHS need such a vehicle on our streets?"From Townhall.com todayAt 15 million rounds (which, in itself, is pretty extraordinary and sounds more like fun target-shooting-at-taxpayer-expense than a sensible training exercise) … that's a stockpile that would last DHS over a century. To claim that it's to "get a low price" for a ridiculously wasteful amount is an argument that could only fool a career civil servant.Also from Townhall:Government spokesmen, when they're not trying to make 1.6 billion bullets sound like a frugal, Costco-style bulk purchase, will tell you it's all about target practice. Really? I hear that U.S. Army newbies soon to deploy to Afghanistan are training with blank cartridges. Why the priority for arming domestic forces, not military ones?
Even the liberal-minded "debunking" site Snopes.com confirms that the Social Security Administration has procured 174,000 hollow-point bullets for 300 special agents. Meanwhile, the National Marine Fisheries Service, which is tasked with "protecting fish stocks from depletion," has procured 46,000 hollow-point bullets. Spokesman Scott Smullen explained, straight-faced, I am guessing, that 63 fisheries service "enforcement agents" will be using the so-called cop-killer bullets for "target qualifications."(That's 730 bullets for each agent. No mention of the history of how many bullets they have needed, per year, in the past, much less hollow-points.),Back in 2008, candidate Barack Obama went off his teleprompter and added a couple of sentences to the text of a speech about expanding the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps. Over rolling applause, the soon-to-be president of the United States said: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."It just seems to me that if Obama, the Fed ... whatever you want to call it ... were truly interested in having a mobile, domestic force, they would be following Switzerland's formula of training citizens to defend their country if there were an "invasion" of a foreign force. Unless one is really dumb, they have to notice that foreign invaders, when they outnumber the defenders, have been most effectively damaged by guerilla-type, hit-and-run, resistance than they are by highly visible military units. Iraq and A'stan would be the most recent examples.Nearly five years later, it hardly matters that candidate Obama's promise to double the Peace Corps and the rest has come to naught. But the president's unscripted determination to empower a civilian national security force is a different story. As far as you're concerned, though, it's also a nonstory.
This complacency or complicity has to stop. During the last 10 months, the Department of Homeland Security has purchased 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, including millions of hollow-point bullets. The department also has purchased 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles, and it has overseen the retrofitting of more than 2,000 light tanks, which, of course, were originally designed to resist the mines and ambushes of the battlefield. Why does DHS need such offensive and defensive firepower
And do we really believe there is likely to be an invasion of a foreign force that would require the armaments of the DHS? wouldn't it be more likely that Iran or N Korea would drop a bomb on us; or set off a dirty bomb, v. a land invasion?
1.6 billion rounds is 5 rounds for every US citizen ... do we imagine that if there were a land invasion it would total even 1 million combatants on US soil? That would then be 1600 rounds per "invader". Guess that would mean that all that target practice isn't expected to result in much accuracy?
Either this govt is very dumb or very sinister. They have certainly already shown that they can be very dumb. Even if it is a matter of them just being this dumb, are such dummies the ones who should have all the guns and ammo?

Not all DHS employees or agents use a pistol or have to qualify, very small amount of the total 200k which includes a lot of regular gov employees. The other thing is the infowars article and the links incorrectly explain the amount of ammo they are buying in that request. They have bought a lot of ammo but info wars is pretty sloppy at reading the request for bids. Also hollow points are not used in qualification shooting. But then again neither are armored vehicles.

That is 100,000 rounds 1,000x100 not 100,000x100 which is what they state in the articles. When you add it all the way they did it is 21.6million. Or the right way it is 240,000.
But even saying that, they have bought a lot of ammo and once again hollow points are not used in target practice.

When DHS defended why they needed a lot of ammo ... why didn't they refute the amounts that were cited?

A brain tumor is a group (mass) of abnormal cells that start in the brain.
This article focuses on primary brain tumors in children.
Glioblastoma multiforme - children; Ependymoma - children; Glioma - children; Brain stem glioma - children; Astrocytoma - children; Medulloblastoma - children; Germ cell tumors; Neuroglioma - children; Oligodendroglioma - children; Choroid plexus tumors - children; Optic glioma - children; PNET - children; Craniopharyngioma - children; ATRT - children; Cancer - brain tumor (children)
The cause of primary brain tumors is unknown. Primary brain tumor means the tumor began in the brain. Primary brain tumors may be:
Brain tumors are classified based on:
Brain tumors can directly destroy brain cells. They can also indirectly damage cells because they push on other parts of the brain. This leads to swelling and increased pressure inside the skull.
Tumors can occur at any age. Many tumors are more common at a certain age. In general, brain tumors in children are very rare.
Astrocytomas are usually noncancerous, slow-growing tumors. They commonly develop in children ages 5 through 8. Also called low-grade gliomas, these are the most common brain tumors in children.
Medulloblastomas are the most common type of childhood malignant (cancerous) brain tumor. Most medulloblastomas occur before age 10.
Ependymomas are a type of childhood brain tumor that can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The location and type of ependymoma determine the type of therapy needed to control the tumor.
Brainstem gliomas are very rare tumors that occur almost only in children. The average age at which they develop is about 6. The tumor may grow very large before causing symptoms.
Symptoms may not be noticed at first and only gradually become worse. Or they may occur very quickly.
Headaches are often the most common symptom. But only very rarely do children with headaches have a tumor. Headache patterns that may occur with brain tumors include:
Sometimes the only symptoms of brain tumors are mental changes, which may include:
Other possible symptoms are:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. Infants may have the following physical signs:
The following tests may be used to detect a brain tumor and identify its location:
Treatment depends on the size and type of tumor and the child's general health. The goals of treatment may be to cure the tumor, relieve symptoms, and improve brain function or the child's comfort.
Surgery is needed for most primary brain tumors. Some tumors may be completely removed. In cases where the tumor cannot be removed, surgery may help reduce pressure and relieve symptoms. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be used for certain tumors.

Medicines used to treat primary brain tumors in children include:
Comfort measures, safety measures, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other such steps may be required to improve quality of life.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you and your child not feel alone.
How well the child does depends on many things, including the exact type of tumor. In general, 3 of 4 children survive at least 5 years after being diagnosed.
Long-term brain and nervous system problems may result from the tumor itself or from treatment. Children may have problems with
They may also have problems processing information, planning, insight, or initiative or desire to do things.
Children younger than age 7, especially younger than age 3, seem to be at greatest risk of these complications.
Parents need to make sure that children receive support services at home and at school.
Call a health care provider if a child develops headaches that do not go away or other symptoms of a brain tumor.

COLUMBUS, Miss. (AP) — The city and a church are still on track to complete the sale of the city-owned I.C. Cousins center.
But The Commercial Dispatch reports the sale price has dropped by $2,000.
The City Council voted to cut the price from $20,500 after drainage problems were discovered. The property is being purchased by Pastor Rone Burgin, who plans to turn it into a church for United Faith Interdenominational Ministries.
The deal is expected to be completed within 30 days.
City Administrator David Armstrong said the deal was brokered by Columbus-Lowndes Recreation Authority Director Roger Short.
"Roger came to us and asked that we knock $2,000 off the price due to some drainage issues," Armstrong said.
Short said there had been some substantial rain since the deal was negotiated and there had been some flooding in the area.
The Columbus Planning Commission recommended the City Council approve a zoning change for the center, which the council approved in December. The property, which was zoned R-1 or single-family residential, was granted permitted usage status as a church.

The Portland Timbers, who had been struggling to hold leads and win games this season, put together their most dominant performance of the year, shocking league powerhouse Los Angeles 3-0 in front of a sold-out crowd of 18,627 delirious fans at Jeld-Wen Field.
"It's a huge win," Portland goalkeeper Troy Perkins said. "We beat the best team in the league. Handily."

OK so the bus is really a thing that I have pledged never to use again but with a bike and 2 big bags the train or the plane companies were going to charge a small fortune, so for the meagre $53 charge I can get to the door step of my first camp ground and beginnig of the trip with all baggageand also the inherent sore knees that the Greyhound so consistently give me
I will stay in Saint Ausustine for 2 nights before taking off early morning
on Sunday, a time logically chosen for the lack of traffic and a chance for me to assimilate comfortably into the ways of what is to be 5 weeks of the same. So I hope to be able to write another blog entry from there before I leave after other errands have been run. After that though, going on the blogs from other people who have travelled this route, there wont be many chances to access the interent, it certainly isnt Europe in that respect (Internet Cafes every other store). SO my contingency plan while there may be a significant absence of chances for me to add to the blog is to send a TEXT to a great friend in North Carolina who will update the blog for me from his home. THis means that the entry might only be a few lines long but will be daily rather than what I might otherwise be able to manage, weekly for example.
So sorry in advance if the blogs are raw, but at least you can se where I will be and a few lines of "its hot, I am tired but well" etc.
SO thanks for reading this and keep the interest in this fundraiser going. There can never be enough donations so please keep that side of things healthy and wealthy and know that each mile I do is encouraged through the interest you all give me.
Thanks and take care. I have some bags to haul across the city.
Cheers and keep a check on me

Well, the last day I'm able to get out before the season closes on Sunday was today and glad to see it over. Had 3 farms to hunt, all typically have spring birds and have taken birds or almost off 2 of them. Hard to believe that not only did I not harvest a bird in 2 hard weeks, but didn't even see one. Not even sign. Not sure where they've gone but hope they'll be back for spring, I know they will. I think it's a case of too much feed and forage to choose from, so now that they're flocking up, if you don't get in them big time, you may not even see one.
Anyway, still have my Tom in the freezer to mount from last year. Makes him look all the better after this season.
Good luck to all that are still in the chase and congrats to all that have been lucky enough to harvest a bird,

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Missouri kept Marshall Henderson from going off, but it was those other guys that were troublesome for the Tigers in their first conference road game as SEC members.
Murphy Holloway posted 22 points and eight rebounds and Ole Miss forced 19 turnovers en route to a 64-49 win before a sellout crowd of 9,173 at Tad Smith Coliseum on Saturday night.
It was the Rebels' (13-2, 2-0 SEC) first win over a top 10 team since beating No. 10 Kentucky here two years ago.
Ole Miss has won its first two SEC games for the first time in seven years.
Missouri played for the first time without senior post player Laurence Bowers, its leading scorer, who missed the game with a knee injury.
The Tigers looked like their scouting report did not include the strength and success Holloway has when going to his left. He took advantage.
"Once I got going I just kept going," Holloway said. "I know they scouted me going left. It's no secret, everybody knows it. You've just got to stop it."
Missouri never really did.
Ole Miss had a 37-36 rebound edge against the Tigers, who were plus-11.2 per game on the glass going in.
The Rebels didn't score in bunches early but scored the game's first nine points. Missouri didn't get on the board until Tony Criswell hit a 15-foot jumper with 13 minutes, 23 seconds left in the half.
Ole Miss was up 9-2 and led by as many as 13 points in the half before Missouri closed the gap to 31-22 at the break.
The Rebels began the second half strong as well, quickly pushing the lead to 14 when Holloway, from the high post, faked a hand-off then turned to his left and powered to the basket.
"When you have Marshall in the corner … without him standing in that corner, Murph doesn't have space," Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. "If Murph can beat his man, he's going to have a chance to finish at the rim."
Henderson dropped 32 at Tennessee on Wednesday, and the Tigers (11-3, 1-1) did their best to deny him shots three days later.
When he was on the bench in first-half foul trouble, Ole Miss knocked down three 3-pointers, two by freshman Derrick Millinghaus.
Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy called Millinghaus the MVP of the first half.
The absence of Bowers subtracted 16.8 points and 6.9 rebounds from the Tigers.
"Injuries are part of the game. We're not going to make excuses," Missouri coach Frank Haith said. "But it is difficult, because he's your leading scorer, a guy you run offense through."
Henderson finished with 11 points, and Jarvis Summers added 12.
Guard Jabari Brown led Missouri with 13 points.
Plenty of basketball remains to be played, but for Ole Miss it was a far different result than when it had a key RPI opportunity late last year and lost 102-76 to Vanderbilt.

Trustees honor Shapiros
Posted April 21, 2001; 01:25 p.m.
a farewell dinner for President Harold T. Shapiro and his wife, Vivian, Friday night, Princeton University trustees announced three honors to commemorate their 13 years of service.
The board will endow a professorship in Harold Shapiro's name, will name the cafi in the Frist Campus Center for Vivian Shapiro and will name a campus walk for the couple.
Harold Shapiro expects to complete his presidency at the end of this academic year and return to full-time teaching and research in the Department of Economics and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, where he has held a joint appointment. He earned his Ph.D. in economics from Princeton in 1964.
"To commemorate your vision for the future of Princetons historic educational mission, we will create the Harold T. Shapiro *64 Professorship of Economics," said Robert Rawson Jr., chair of the board's executive committee. "We believe it is most fitting that this chair will strengthen the distinguished department that first drew you to Princeton and reflects not only your love of teaching but also your determination to keep Princetons faculty at the forefront of research and scholarship."
The board decided to name the Frist cafi for Vivian Shapiro because, since opening last fall, it has fostered a sense of community spirit that also is one of her hallmarks.
"Vivian, while actively participating through your own scholarship in the intellectual life of the community, you have demonstrated deep concern for the welfare of members of this community and forged connections among Princetonians, both on campus and around the world, that have touched and benefited all of us," Rawson said. "To recognize the splendid role you have played in drawing the Princeton community closer, we will name the popular cafi in the new Frist Campus Center in your honor."
The new pathway that will be named the Shapiro Walk will extend the historic McCosh Walk to the east between Washington Road and Olden Street. It will pass through Scudder Plaza at the Woodrow Wilson School and Fisher-Bendheim Halls, past the new home of social sciences, Wallace Hall, the nearly completed Friend Engineering Center and the Department of Computer Science, to the School of Engineering and Applied Science.
"The Universitys horizons have expanded considerably over the past 13 years in the intellectual realm and, in more readily visible dimensions, in the physical campus," Rawson said. "New pathways are being forged to link academic disciplines and new campus walkways are being created to link old and new facilities together."
He said the trustees felt that naming the walkway was most appropriate not only because it recognizes Harold Shapiro's role in creating and expanding these connections, but also because it honors the couple's commitment to campus beautification.

The Recording Academy Chicago Chapter played host for The GRAMMYs At Lollapalooza during the festival's 20th anniversary installment from Aug. 5–7 in Chicago's Grant Park. The Chapter conducted exclusive backstage interviews with artists performing at the festival, including indie pop duo Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. and eclectic Chicago-based eight-piece band Kids These Days.
"Our big thing is we want to put on a show and give people their money's worth," said Zott regarding touring. "We try and be present and make every performance a special thing," added Epstein. "It's not the band's show, it's the people who are there — it's their show."
Featuring a blend of folk, pop and electronic elements, Zott describes Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.'s music as "Simon And Garfunkel with hip-hop beats." Hailing from Detroit, the duo released its debut album, It's A Corporate World, in June on Warner Bros. Records. The album features "Nothing But Our Love," which is also featured on their 2010 EP, Horse Power. Avid sports fans, the duo author a weekly column for ESPN.com.
Kids These Days consists of Lane Beckstrom (bass), Liam Cunningham (guitar/vocals), J.P. Floyd (trombone), Rajiv Halim (saxophone), Greg Landfair Jr. (drums), Vic Mensa (rapper), Nico Segal (trumpet), and Macie Stewart (vocals/keyboards). The eight-piece band discussed their Chicago roots, playing Lollapalooza, their unique configuration, and what it's like to be a new band in today's music industry.
"I think it comes from the way we write," said Segal regarding the band's unique sound. "We write together in the same room and jam and then turn our jams into songs. When it's all eight of us jamming, all of us put in our own emotion, our own influence, our own feeling, [and] our own music. All of that combined creates Kids These Days."
Come back to GRAMMY.com tomorrow for more exclusive backstage interviews from The GRAMMYs At Lollapalooza.

I am continuing my thread series.
This will discuss ONLY the vehicle in the title of the thread (in this case Teemto Pagales' Podracer Vehicle).
I will cover several unmade vehicles for the action figures per week, choosing them from a rotating schedule through the movies and the Expanded Universe.
I'll order it TPM, AOTC, ROTS, ANH, ESB, ROTJ, EU, and then keep going back through the order in that manner.
So here I'm only asking you if you'd buy Teemto Pagales' Podracer?
This racer is one of the limited number of racers you see in The Phantom Menace actually involved in a higher level of action - besides the racing.
When a Tusken Raider shoots Teemto's podracer, the craft breaks up rather fatally.
Here is a chance for two action features on the toy: One engine could "explode" into several pieces, and the circular pod that Teemto rides in could be set to spin forward over the engines and roll to a spin out with Teemto aboard - or being ejected during the process.
Teemto's action figure is also already made (Saga 2002) so I think this was a good racer to poll for next.
TPM is nearly out of options and all the podracers will not be polled for - but there were certain ones that saw a higher level of involvement in the screen shots. Teemto's is one of them.
The vehicle would come out in the $24 starfighter assortment. It is assumed that Anakin's and Sebulba's podracers would see a re-release before more obscure characters' pods are released.
The battlepack option would doubtfully ever include more than 3 podracers, so an option you could support is Teemto's racer being included with Anakin's and Sebulba's - or at least one.
I'd pack two pods per ultimate battlepack, and split up Anakin's and Sebulba's so you have 2 separate sales in order to get both the principals - not to mention opportunities to do two more pods.
So do you want Teemto Pagales' Podracer Vehicle made?
What other features would you want on it?
Why would you NOT want it?
How do you think it would sell if produced?


text: I look back and I notice the last time I logged in or posted was back in 2000. Wow, things have come a long way since then. I'm still somewhat ambivalent about online diaries, but I've matured (OK then, don't believe me) so we'll see what happens. More to come, I'll try to hit this at least a couple times each week. Maybe during my lunch-time browse fest, might be a nice change from news and such.

More Details Emerge on K-1's Ohio Cancellation
- Written by Dave Walsh
There has been a lot of talk about K-1 over the past few months, especially some of the difficulties that they've faced since EMCOM and Mr. Kim took over operations. K-1 was looking to finally make a big impact on the United States by booking an event in Ohio during the Arnold Classic Expo, which is attended by thousands of fans yearly. This was to be the second show on US soil in the span of the year, the last time was when Doug Kaplan was in charge of K-1's US operations and began to turn things around before his relationship with the company fell apart. K-1 is now being run in the US by New York's Andrew Oh and this report from FCFighter.com by Joshua Molina is pretty damning towards the new K-1 USA team.
It is mainly an interview with the would-be promoter of the event, Russ Trapini, who was previously involved with K-1 USA when FEG was still around and was tapped again to help promote events in the United States. You can really see how frustrated he is with the situation and he even goes as far as to say that K-1 is done in the United States, a statement that is difficult for us to disagree with.
The Athletic Commission gave some reasons for the cancellation, including paperwork and certain other things, but Trapini flat out says that it was money. He also notes Mr. Kim trying to shoehorn SuperKombat fighters onto the fight card due to an agreement between K-1 and SuperKombat and lack of communication.
The money argument aligns with the reports that we here at LiverKick.com have been privy to. In fact, what we know about the situation is frustrating from all accounts and to the best of our knowledge hasn't really been discussed outside of smaller Kickboxing circles. The rumored reason has been that the money which was supposed to cover costs for the K-1 Ohio event was used as an upfront payment to Badr Hari to secure his services for the K-1 World Grand Prix Finals. It was supposedly hand-delivered to Badr Hari in cash and has put a serious financial strain on the company.

The film will be introduced by one of its directors, Abhijit Banerjee, who is a professor of economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the director of its Poverty Action Lab. He will participate in a discussion following the screening along with three other experts on international economics and health issues: João Biehl, assistant professor of anthropology at Princeton; Angus Deaton, professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton; and Robert Townsend, professor of economics at the University of Chicago.
The event is sponsored by Research Program in Development Studies, the Center for Health and Wellbeing and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

I was just remembering what a AF designer said. That he would like to make a larger AF, not figures but make the ships like the MM Star Destroyer playset. I would love for this to happen. Some of the first ships released could be:
1) Imperial Star Destroyer
2) Senator Barge from EP2 with 2 Slots in the wings to hold the Naboo Fighter escorts
3) Republic Assault Ship
4) Mon Cal Cruiser
5) Queen Amidala's Royal Cruiser
6) Yuuzhan Vong Worldship
And so on, each ship can come with say 4 figures and a Micro ship like the escape pod/ fighter that was included wuth the 3 3/4 inch figure Naboo Royal Cruiser. What do all of you guys and girls think about this? And howabout a petition to get the line going?
