Police Brutality Under Wide Review by Justice Dept.
15,000 CASES OVER 6 YEARS Thornburgh and Civil Rights Chief Respond to Beating of Los Angeles Suspect

Washington, March 14 - Responding to public outrage over the videotape of Los Angeles police officers beating an apparently helpless man, Attorney General Dick Thornburgh said today that the Justice Department would review every police brutality complaint to the Federal Government over the last six years.
Department officials said the aim was to determine whether there were patterns of misconduct in local police forces, not to initiate new Federal prosecutions. Mr. Thornburgh said the National Institute of Justice, the department's research arm, would also study any correlation between the frequency of police brutality reports and the procedures and training programs of police departments.
Trying to Strike a Balance
John R. Dunne, head of Civil Rights Division in the Justice Department, said the review came in response to complaints from several members of Congress, including those in the Black Caucus, who say some police departments are especially lax in maintaining discipline among their officers. Mr. Dunne said the department would review about 15,000 cases, looking for "any geographic or systematic patterns to the violence."
The Justice Department move was a finely calculated attempt to deal with the anger of lawmakers, civil rights groups and others over the Los Angeles case while not offending police officers and their advocates.
At a hearing in Los Angeles today, elected officials, civil rights workers and private citizens called for the resignation of Police Chief Daryl F. Gates. They accused him of tolerating and even encouraging brutality by police officers against black and Hispanic men. He did not respond to his critics there, but met later with reporters and repeated his contention that the beating was not part of a pattern.
Chief Gates said his department had nothing to fear from the Justice Department inquiry. "This department can withstand any investigation, and we welcome any investigation," he said. "We're very proud of what we've done."
The cases under Justice Department scrutiny involve reports of police misconduct made to the Federal Bureau of investigation and United States attorneys over the last six years and do not include those cases handled solely by local police departments.
Mr. Dunne said the Justice Department had always handled its police brutality cases on an individual basis, without analyzing where they were filed. This will be the first time the department has tried to group such cases geographically to see whether there are any patterns. It is not clear what the department will do if it finds heavy concentrations in particular police forces, beyond suggestions that have already been made: that they could recommend changes in training procedures.
Volatility, Violence and Guns
Hubert Williams, president of the Police Foundation, a Washington research group established to improve police practices, said he thought the use of excessive force was a growing problem. "I believe that there are more incidents of police use of force because of the volatility of the big cities, the violence and the big guns the police are up against," he said.
The Justice Department is preparing to bring civil rights charges in 14 police brutality cases, including one against an agent of the Immigration and Naturalization Service accused of intimidating grocery store owners in Manhattan.
Mr. Dunne said the department was still investigating the Los Angeles incident. "We have several F.B.I. agents in the field on this case gathering evidence," he said, adding that it could later be presented to a grand jury.
In a Federal civil rights prosecution, there is no requirement that the victim be a minority member. A police officer or other official acting "under color of law" can be accused of depriving someone of such civil rights as the right to be free from seizure or assault.
Mr. Thornburgh ordered the study after a breakfast meeting today with Mr. Dunne and two members of the Black Caucus, Representatives John Conyers Jr. Of Michigan and Edolphus Towns of Brooklyn. They said they wanted the Federal Government to take a more active role in the police brutality issue after the national broadcast of a videotape of several white police officers in Los Angeles beating Rodney G. King, a black man lying on the ground.
Mr. Thornburgh said, "Those engaged in law enforcement must be among the first to assure the observance of the civil rights and civil liberties of all citizens."
Mr. Conyers said the videotape demonstrated a "culture of violence" in the Los Angeles police force and shocked the country in a way that has rarely happened before. He said the incident should be used as a way to eliminate "a national problem from the law enforcement system."
A Congressional Study, Too
Mr. Conyers said that the General Accounting Office, the Congressional investigative agency, would also begin a study of police brutality, and that a House Judiciary subcommittee under Representative Don Edwards of California would begin hearings next week. Mr. Conyers said the subcommittee might seek testimony from Chief Gates at a later session to be held in Los Angeles.
Justice Department officials said that besides the 14 pending Federal civil rights prosecutions involving police officers or departments, 22 more cases were before Federal grand juries.
Mr. Thornburgh said that over the past three years the Civil Rights Division had brought, criminal charges against 98 law-enforcement officials. Sixty of those cases have been prosecuted, he said, and 45 have resulted in convictions.
Officials said there were about 2,000 active cases involving allegations of police brutality under investigation at any one time in the Civil Rights Division. An F.B.I. official said many cases were not reported to Federal officials because victims were often unaware that their mistreatment could result in a Federal prosecution.
The cases are difficult to prosecute, officials say, because evidence is hard to obtain, and victims who may be criminal suspects or prison inmates may not be credible witnesses.
"These are awfully difficult cases to prove," Mr. Dunne said in an interview. "Because of our experience in bringing these types of cases, it's difficult to convince a jury that a police officer used excessive force."
In New York, Norman Siegel, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, said police abuse was a serious problem and added that in the past six years only one officer had been convicted of brutality charges.
In the August 1988 riot at Tompkins Square Park, he said, it was hard to get indictments of police officers even with videotaped evidence. He noted that although more than 400 police officers were present and there were 121 complaints, there were only six indictments and no convictions.
Los Angeles acknowledged recently that it paid more than $6.3 million in 1989 in jury awards and settlements in response to complaints of police brutality. Mr. Conyers said the 1990 figure was more than $8 million.
Just today, a Los Angeles resident accepted a $50,000 settlement after police officers searching an apartment in a neighboring house threw a vacuum cleaner through his window. The City Attorney also increased the offer of a settlement to the owner of the apartments where the search took place, from $275,000 to $600,000, the owner's lawyer said; that settlement has not been accepted. The tenants had already settled from $3 million.
In Chicago, where there were about 2,500 complaints against the Police Department last year, one police official said the system was working already and suggested that a Federal review was not necessary. "I don't know what it is the Attorney General has in mind, but we're doing a pretty excellent job here ourselves," said the official, Gayle Shines, chief's administrator of the department's Office of Professional Standards.

Mr Umenweke made the statement in a letter to the Resident Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commissioner (INEC) in Anambra, obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Akwa, the state capital.

"Within this interval, I have made extensive inquiries and investigation from the seven local government collation officers and none received any report from the wards in the form of Form EC40.
"Consequently, none of them generated any Form EC 40 G1, no reports whatsoever were received by the Local Government Officers involved in the Anambra South Senatorial Elections, no such report was given to me.
"In the light of the above, there is no evidence to support the claims of the writer of the petition of February 23.
"By virtue of the foregoing, I hereby reaffirm my declaration that Mr Ifeanyi Ubah, the candidate of Young Progressives Party (YPP) is the winner of the Anambra South Senatorial seat.
"My letter of February 25 is hereby withdrawn," he said.

text: So today, with the physiotherapist and I, we will practice sitting up at the edge of the bed and working on your balance, and moving your arms so that you can get stronger and able to go to spinal cord injury rehab. Does that sound ok? My name is Stacey and I'm a second-year Master student in occupational therapy at the University of Toronto, and I'm doing my fourth and final placement at Sunnybrook on the Trauma Unit. I studied Kinesiology for my undergraduate degree and I was always very interested in physical functioning and disability. And working with people. I would always be more excited or focused when the patients would tell me "I can lift my hands high enough to wash my hair" or "I can bend my knee enough to climb stairs" And those really the goals that I found to be important to work on, and as an occupational therapist you do get a hance to work on those important goals that are very specific to that person. Occupational therapy education in the classroom is a lot more focused on theory, and on placement you get to focus a lot on putting that theory into practice. And use that knowledge. "I just remolded it and spot heated just a few areas, just to make it a little more comfortable for him and he was having a lot less pain." So in the morning, we have rounds with all the different members of our interprofessional team, where we go each patient's case individually and discuss what that person's plan is for discharge. And, how we can get them closer to there. "And what are the plans for home because I know this week he's supposed to go home?" "So, he's going home, and then I worked with the patient care coordinator and we set up…" The team here at Sunnybrook is wonderful They are so interprofessional and rely upon each other expertise. for various areas. I like that it's really fast-paced and that I never see the same thing twice, even if someone has a similar injury as another person, they can present completely differently and have a completely different outlook. I really enjoy that it's all about looking about who the person was before their accident or their injury, and what we can do to help return them back to that person, that individual – and restore their independence and their dignity.

Today we received the terribly sad news about the assassination of our companion Fr Frans van der Lugt SJ in Homs, who chose to stay there to carry out his service and offer support to the people despite the evident dangers. May he rest in the love of Christ and may the Lord continue to give courage to all our companions who offer their lives in the service of the victims of war, violence and injustice."Christians and Muslims are going through a difficult and painful time and we are faced with many problems. The greatest of these is hunger. People have nothing to eat. There is nothing more painful than watching mothers searching for food for children in the streets...I will not accept that we die of hunger. I do not accept that we drown in a sea of hunger, letting the waves of death drag us under. We love life, we want to live. And we do not want to sink in a sea of pain and suffering." - Fr Frans van der Lugt SJ, (video appeal, Jan 2014)Below we bring you a number of reports.
THE DEATH OF FATHER FRANS VAN DER LUGT - Servizio Digitale d'Informazione SJ - Ufficio Stampa e Informazione:
This morning, Father Frans Van der Lugt was abducted by masked gunmen from our residence at Homs, in Syria, where he used to live, and was executed by gun shots. Fr. Frans was born in the Netherlands in 1938, entered the Society of Jesus in 1958 and was ordained a priest in 1971. He worked in Syria since 1960. Despite the dangers, he had voluntarily decided to remain in the city of Homs in solidarity with the people who could not leave the city. He remains in our thoughts and prayers.___Jesuit priest "man of peace" killed in Homs, Syria - Radio Vaticana(Vatican Radio) Dutch Jesuit Father Frans van der Lugt, a priest who lived in the war-torn Syrian city of Homs, was killed this morning. Fr. Alex Basili, Provincial of the Jesuits in the Middle East and the Maghreb confirmed the news to the Catholic news agency Fides. Fides reports that on Monday, April 7 , at around 8 am, Father Frans van der Lugt was abducted by armed men who beat him and then killed him with two bullets to the head in front of the Jeusuit residence in Homs. In a statement, the Holy See's press spokesman, Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi said Fr. Van der Lugt "died as a man of peace, who with great courage in an extremely dangerous and difficult situation, wanted to remain faithful to the Syrian people to whom he had dedicated so many years of his life and spiritual service. Read on...___Syria: Dutch priest Fr van der Lugt shot dead in Homs - BBC News Middle East:A Dutch priest well known for refusing to leave the besieged Syrian city of Homs has been shot dead by a gunman.
Frans van der Lugt, who was in his 70s, had become a renowned figure in the rebel-held area that has been blockaded by government forces for nearly two years.
He had refused to be evacuated, saying he would not leave Homs while there were still Christians in the city.... Read On___
Dutch priest shot dead in Homs - The Guardian:
... Van der Lugt also sought to draw attention to the suffering of civilians in blockaded Homs. "Hunger defeated us! We can see its signs drawn over the faces," he wrote in January on a Syrian Christian Facebook page.
"People are wandering the streets screaming; We are starving, we need food! They stop by the inhabited houses trying to find some food. Hunger breaks the rules and eliminates all moral principles. We are living a scary reality. Human beings turn into wild animals living in the wild."
Albert Abdul-Massih, who worked with Van der Lugt, said the priest held a doctorate in psychiatry and led an austere life. "He was a Christian clergyman but he wasn't conservative," he said. "We learned humanity from him, and he used to love Muslims as much as he loves Christians … He was treating people for free and he was a fluent Arabic speaker."...... Read full feature

- The Pogo is a Cobra vehicle from the A Real American Hero series.
The Pogo Ballistic Battle Ball was a brainchild of Fred VII. It has no real world counterpart and is in a class of its own. It is basically an armored cockpit strapped to powerful rocket booster and a very strong suspension that doubles as a giant jumping spring. Its purpose is for ground targeting offensive in difficult terrain.
The Cobra Pogo can fly like rocket for several moments. It also capable of maneuvering in the air. When lands it use its state-of-the-art articulators for landing, absorb the impact energy in the process and changing it into powerful thrust for jumping (fitting the name "Pogo"). In early development, it sported a multi-directional machine gun turret. The subsequent version is also capable of mounting missiles. It is a difficult contraption to master, but offers extreme maneuverability for combat survival.

In terms of value per dollar, you can't do much better than the fluffy, quite evenly cooked classic waffles that the Cuisinart WMR-CA Round Classic serves up for a fraction of what many other machines cost. It even has a slide that allows for adjusting the brownness of each waffle, something that is very uncommon at this price point. However, there is a downside to this economical price tag. The Cuisinart Round Classic's construction leaves a bit to be desired. The shade slider has a lot of play, so you have to fidget with it to get it exactly where you want it, and the unit itself just feels a bit rickety and unbalanced. These drawbacks are barely a nuisance for occasional use, but if you want something that can last for years and endure frequent cooking sessions, the Cuisinart Round Classic probably isn't your best bet. Additionally, the far superior Presto Flipside generally sells for not too much more. If you can find such a deal on the FlipSide, we would definitely suggest spending a bit more and getting it over the Cuisinart Round Classic.
Cuisinart WMR-CA Round Classic Review
Pros: Good taste and texture, accurate browning settings, simple controls
Cons: Construction feels flimsy, many user reviews complain of durability issues
Manufacturer: Cuisinart
Our Verdict
Our Analysis and Test Results
The Cuisinart Round Classic offers good waffles at a very low price, making it a great option for those that want to make waffles at home for special occasions. If you're looking to make waffles more frequently, however, investing a bit more in a better-constructed waffle maker will likely yield a superior value in the long run.
Good Waffles, Low Price
This is pretty much the main selling point for the Cuisinart Round Classic. For not much money, you get classic style waffles that nearly match the quality of those made in machines that can cost triple. The shade knob also adds a huge level of functionality over other makers in the same price range, allowing you to manage the outer crust's level of crispiness.
Some Sacrafices
Unfortunately, you do have to make some sacrifices to obtain the Cuisinart Round Classic inexpensive waffles.
No Beeps
When making waffles, you need to know 1) when the iron is up to temperature and ready to cook batter, and 2) when the waffle is done cooking and ready to be taken off the iron. Most models have some sort of an auditory beep to let you know when you've reached these critical milestones. The Cuisinart Round Classic instead uses a single small LED light that switches from red to green. For preheating this is fine, but having to constantly check in on the light while a waffle is cooking to avoid burning is far less than ideal. Also, for those amongst us that suffer from red-green color blindness, that light is particularly hard to discern.
Questionable Construction
The biggest downside to the Cuisinart Round Classic is its build quality. When using it, you can tell that much of the cost savings that led to its low price came in the manufacturing process. The unit itself feels a bit top heavy and unbalanced, and the shade slider has a large amount of play to it. This led us to tinker with it a lot before finding the correct position for our desired shade.
These construction qualms really aren't an issue if you're only going to make waffles a few times a year. We had absolutely no issues regarding durability in making 20 waffles with the Cuisinart Round Classic during our testing. However, if you'd like to make waffles with more regularity, we would predict the Cuisinart Round Classic could give you some issues.
For those that only want to makes waffles at home a few times a year for special occasions, the juxtaposition of the great waffles the Cuisinart Round Classic can make and it's low price tag is pretty great. However, those that want to make waffles a few times a month will likely find a better value by investing in a slightly higher-quality machine. You could spend a little more and get slightly better construction and more user-friendly features in the Presto Flipside, or spend more and get a machine that will likely last a lifetime in the Breville No-Mess.
The Cuisinart Round Classic is a great waffle maker for those that want to occasionally up their at-home breakfast game, mostly considering its impressively low price. However, if you think your waffle maker is going to see heavier use, you'll want to invest a bit more in a higher-quality machine.

In case you hadn't heard, NBA center Jason Collins is gay.
Most of the internet has reacted very positively and supportively. Few people are freaking out in public. But I'm guessing you have heard, as I have, more intense freakouts in private. They're boring repeats of a billion boring private freakouts I've heard from straight men about gay athletes a billion boring times before.
But you know what? There's more to the way some people freak out about gay male athletes in a way that they don't about gay female athletes than the fact that stereotyped lesbians (masculine) confirm the stereotypes about female athletes (masculine, all lesbians), while stereotyped gay men (feminine) challenge the stereotypes about male athletes (masculine to the max, exemplars of traditional masculinity).
Above and beyond that, the reaction to the spectre of a gay male athlete has its roots in the fears of loss of privilege. (Spoiler alert! A privilege women never have!)
Have you seen the picture meme that goes around that says "homophobia: you're not afraid, you're just an asshole"? While the latter is true, I don't think the former is true. I think this gets closer:
That's real.*

Duluth News Tribune outlines the importance of broadband investment in their editorial…
The good news is that since 2014, the state has been investing to push high-speed internet deeper and deeper into rural Minnesota. With a belief that all Minnesotans, no matter where we live, ought to have the same access to opportunities borne of technology, the goal of the Border to Border Broadband Development Grant Program has been all-in 100 percent penetration by 2022.
The better news is that since committing to rural broadband, the state's $85 million investment has resulted in "an admirable 91 (percent) penetration" with Minnesota now "a national model that other states are using to make sure they aren't left behind," as Nancy Hoffman of North Branch, Minn., chairwoman of the Minnesota Rural Broadband Coalition, wrote in an op-ed last week distributed statewide, including to the News Tribune Opinion page.
The bad news, unfortunately, is that after four straight years of welcomed broadband bills, a state appropriation last year was vetoed along with just about everything else by then-Gov. Mark Dayton. The veto was purely politics, yet another DFLers-vs.-Republicans spat that got in the way of something beneficial to Minnesotans in favor of party wants. Hoffman called it "political crossfire … over issues not related to broadband."
"The progress needs to continue this year to make up for lost time," Hoffman wrote.
To that end, the Minnesota House passed off the floor this session a bill containing $70 million over two years, the amount the Minnesota Rural Broadband Coalition recommended as "exactly how much is necessary to put the program back on track," as Hoffman wrote. A Senate proposal contains $30 million. Negotiations are underway to find compromise and an appropriate level of funding that will allow Minnesota to reclaim its momentum toward border-to-border broadband.

3 things I learned from my intellectually disabled son
Emilie Weight at TED@Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.
Emilie Weight, maman française de deux enfants dont un garçon atteint du syndrome de l'X Fragile, ÃĐtait invitÃĐe à participer en novembre dernier à une confÃĐrence TED à Londres. Elle a choisi de parler de son fils et plus gÃĐnÃĐralement des personnes avec retard intellectuel. Voici son discours, en anglais.
As a mother with a son affected with Fragile X syndrome -- a genetic disorder -- Emilie Weight believes that a diagnosis of disability can create opportunity, not despair. Her son's differences compelled her to question her inner self and her role in the world. With this new mindset she discovered his true superhero qualities when she stopped treating him like a patient and started treating him like a partner, leading her to three essential tools for how to approach life.

Looking back at the babies of 2016
2016's beautiful new arrivals
As the Park comes to the end of this year's 'baby boom', we take a look at some of the new faces we welcomed this year and find out how they've been getting on.
Humboldt penguin chicks
Back in March, the Animal Encounters team down in Penguin World welcomed four new little faces to the colony. Well, one was not quite so little as keepers joked that penguin Goose was actually a stray goose egg due to his size! You can read more about that here.
Penguin chicks Goose, Mumble, Avocado and Chilli have now all gone through their first moult, which means they are now waterproof! The four youngsters can be easily identified as they are much more playful than the adults - playing with sticks, messing around on the bank and generally getting up to mischief.
The unique spot pattern that will help keepers individually identify each of them has now appeared although they won't lose their grey plumage until next year.
Asian Short Clawed otter pups
The otter pups are now five months old and are fully weaned from their mother, Kelani. The five youngsters can be seen throughout the winter, swimming in their pool, hiding amongst the rocks and playing with each other within the enclosure.
Keepers will also begin to train the pups so that they are able to enter to clean their enclosure regularly and be able to weigh all of the otters safely and with ease. It's hoped in a couple of months that the waterfall in their enclosure will be back up and running, meaning visitors will be able to see them having a splash from early next year.
Read more about the otter pups here.
Squirrel monkeys
The team in Monkey Business within the Foot Safari are slightly later than the rest of the Park when it comes to welcoming their new annual arrivals. Autumn tends to see the first squirrel monkey baby born and already, two new babies have been born in this enclosure.
Experienced mum, Tye, gave birth to a healthy newborn earlier this month, quickly followed by female Ringo's new baby. Monkey World is a walk-through animal enclosure so visitors may be able to see these new faces up close on their next visit.
North American black bears
Keepers knew they were about to welcome at least one bear cub earlier this spring as they'd heard calls to mum coming from inside a large den in an oak tree, but mother bear, four-year old Phoenix had a delightful surprise for keepers - as the little ones appeared - in triplicate!
The three little bears can be seen in their side pen, alongside their mum, although they will begin spending more time away from view as the weather gets colder.
Read more here.
Brindled wildebeest & Eland calves
This pair were born earlier in the summer and since, have become the most unlikely and best of friends. In the wild these species would not naturally mix with one another, although keepers started noticing the wildebeest Queeny, spending time with Queensley, the eland, very early on.
Now, the pair love to have a laze together during the day out on the African Reserve and the other eland herd members seem to have no problem with the new member of their group!

EA UFC Mobile is really fun sometimes but it's full of bugs and has shitty tap detection.
(Jon Jones was all over the branding of the game but has since been removed because he ran over a woman while smoking weed. Something like that.)
The first version had a shitty bug where the HUD would vanish, meaning you could not tap to escape grabs or submissions. This happened when you would be near winning but the cpu "suddenly" starts countering everything like Goddamn Arrow.
In update 2, you can now knock opponents health to zero and still have them fighting you. Know what the Romans would have called that opponent? Jesus!
For some reason combos randomly end and you will then start a new one wasting your power move. Also I like how each punch knocks them back so far you have no hope of reach them. During this paragraph, two Apple devices out of three gave me a battery warning. How happy do you suspect this made me?
Now, I do enjoy the kickboxing/standup aspect of the game. Understand though, this game isn't really a full MMA experience. There is no clinch. There is no ground game besides butterfly guard. When you slam the opponent, you will actually see both fighters cooperatively get into butterfly guard.
There are no knockdowns. Only knock outs. I hate this so bad. I want to knock an opponent down and dive down on him.
You're basically going to be grinding challenges to buy training packs so you can level your fighter up enough to unlock more than two punches. My neighbors keep slamming doors. I hate them. My eye is also hurting like someone took a cayenne pepper and shoved it in it.
The game has a good roster. Sadly, all of the fighters must either be randomly unlocked through packs you buy with earnable silver coins or you must pay for them with gold coins. If that weren't bad enough, guess how much Jon Jones would cost you? Around $35 depending on your gold pack you bought. There are a lot of 3500 gold coin fighters too. However, some notable absences:
Daniel Cormier. Did they make all these games in 2013?
TJ Dillashaw. Bantamweight Champion. Renan Barao is in tho.
Rafael Dos Anjos, who just beat Pettis, who is in.
Anthony Johnson – EA has it out for him.
All Women – there are no ladies in the game – huge letdown.
Big Country Roy Nelson – I know he isn't going to be champion but neither is Mark Hunt and he's in this game.
I'm hoping they expand the already large roster because that could be a great point for this game. However, EA absolutely MUST lower the cost of the fighters. I earned two Mark Hunts (or Mar Cunt) this weekend worth about $50, together, if I had bought them. That's ridonkulus.
In fact, stupidly, you start the game with only ONE fighter. My advice is to buy the 2000 silver coin packs often and train this fighter, who I think is Alexander Gustafsson for everyone. You will on rare occasion get a new fighter. Always train abilities to their exact match to get the 6x multiplier.
You will want to be pretty apt at slipping punches. Sadly, the game seems to have the random shitty moments in tap detection that EA is known for.
The heavyweights are too slow, must be sped up.
I like knocking people out into the "take it in the ass please" position
If you're a UFC fan you will probably find enjoyment in this game, if you get past its greed that definitely sours the experience. I recommend unlocking random fighters with events and earnable packs and leveling them the old fashioned way – working for it!
First Update:
So EA UFC mobile was updated. It added some new guys and fixed some shitty glitches like the end of the round where the health bars vanished. But it's still fucked up.
First of all, the tap and swipe detection is off and I don't know if it's apples fault or the fact that my fingers are like polish sausages. They're huge. This iPhone is like you holding a postage stamp.
The energy bonus system is worthless. You barely get a few points on top of what you already have. When you add 20 points to 5,000 – which is what several of my guys are, it does jack shit.
Still, fighters are prohibitively expensive if you buy individually. If you want to unlock fighters, you just gotta work up the ranks in the career and of course do live events, especially for fighters you really love. There's basically a live event every other weekend. It's only doing the same fights 400 times in a row but you get to unlock insane fighters that are way above normal ones in stats. However, you can buy the fighter too – for $50 in gold coins. For ONE fighter. Lol. Duuuuuumb.
I can verify that to can unlock legendary (Orange) fighters in 2000 silver training packs or in the career bonuses. I picked up Dominick Cruz, which was nice! Also got Benson Henderson which is a purple with orange stats. Their initial stats show their future potential. Benson is actually rated more highly than the more expensive Conor McGregor.
There are times I will tap special moves and they won't execute until my combo totally ends and the guy is a mile away.
It takes WAY too fucking long for the abilities to appear after a take down or takedown attempt.

According to a new report by Berg Insight, an M2M/IoT analyst firm, smart metering market has an exciting future in Europe
Smart metering market seems to have a great future in Europe. According to Berg Insight, a dedicated M2M/IoT market research firm based in Sweden, smart metering has reached a stage of early rollout with mass roll-outs underway in significant parts of the Europe. It predicts that annual shipments of smart gas meters in Europe will increase by 118% between 2016 and 2018 to reach 11.8 million units. The adoption of smart gas metering in the European gas market took off in 2016 as the number of installed devices more than doubled to 10.1 million units.
The analyst firm specialising in all major M2M/IoT verticals such as fleet management, car telematics, smart metering, smart homes, mHealth and industrial M2M has done some extensive research to come up with certain interesting insights about the smart metering market.
According to the report, by 2022, the installed base is projected to reach 62.4 million units. The increase will mainly be driven by nationwide rollouts in France, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK. Among all European countries, Italy will emerge as the largest market with annual demand projected to peak at more than 5 million units towards the end of the decade.
The nationwide rollout in France and the UK will also pick up speed in 2017 as both countries enter the mass deployment phase. In the Netherlands, the full-scale rollout is already underway and will continue until the early 2020s.
The report also throws some light on the technologies used for smart gas metering systems. Most of these systems use different forms of wireless communication. Short-range radio communication using the 169 MHz frequency band is the de-facto industry networking standard in France and Italy where smart gas meters are deployed independently of smart electricity meters. Emerging LPWA technologies have arrived too, but their arrival has been termed delayed to have any significant impact on the market in the short term.
Tobias Ryberg, senior analyst, Berg Insight says, "There is clearly a big gap between the wireless networking solutions pitched by the technology industry and the technologies adopted by utilities. In this case conventional point-to-multipoint radios can do the job at a reasonable cost and with proven reliability."

Youth in the United States are considered to be the loneliest in the world.
That's according to former Surgeon General Doctor Vivek Murthy.
He describes loneliness as "the subjective feeling of having inadequate social connections".
Those feelings and thoughts are toxic and making our youth physically, emotionally, and mentally sick.
Lillian Holley is a psychologist, counselor and director of special education for Bossier Parish Schools. She says,
"The problems get more and more serious every year. Some of the issues of broken homes, drugs, addiction issues, incarceration issues."
While adolescence should be the happiest time in a child's life, more than 50-percent of teenagers are dealing with issues that cause them to feel isolated and alone.
And the rate of loneliness has doubled since the 80's. Even worse, loneliness causes stress, which increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.
Cognitive Neuroscientist Dr. Caroline Leaf says, "We get multiple ways that our physical body can break down. But also there's the mind where the frustration, depression, all those adjectives are the side-effects so people pull away."
Dr. Leaf studies the mind/brain connection. She says 75 to 98 percent of diseases come from our thought life. She adds, "When we think, feel, and choose, we are changing and influencing every single cell in our body."
With technology and social media we're neglecting our desperate need to connect with others. Without real human connection, Dr. Leaf says, "You will react in anger if you feel like you're useless and you don't count. We have to become human again.
Because we are all busy with our own lives, we've got this loneliness epidemic. We're caught up on our cell phones, we've become an individualistic society."
Bossier Parish schools have a mentor program to help ease the loneliness epidemic. Each student has an adult mentor because they want kids to have someone to talk to.
A simple solution to help kids in crisis become emotionally healthy adults. Dr. Leaf says, "It's really easy to sit and listen to someone and to listen in love. If we change our thoughts we can actually improve the health of our brain and body."
Researchers say loneliness is now a major public health issue and represents a greater health risk than obesity and is as destructive as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
