TSN.ca's MMA staff takes a look at some of the hottest issues in the world of mixed martial arts.
1) Are you satisfied with the new UFC 153 main event between Anderson Silva and Stephan Bonnar?
John Pollock, Host TSN 1050 - The MMA Report: First of all, the UFC had to make this fight and if the options are Silva vs. Bonnar in a meaningless bout at 205-pounds or cancelling the event you are going with the former. My problem with this style of matchmaking is that they are now (as the UFC) asking their audience to pay for the worst case scenario, much like Jon Jones vs. Vitor Belfort where the audience had to justify Belfort as a challenger.
I am of the belief that you do a pay-per-view when you have a pay-per-view quality card and not simply because it's our monthly obligation to do a show. I'm sure this will be a fun fight and we'll get some entertaining analysis next week of how Bonnar can do the unthinkable, but to me you are sending a message to the average UFC consumer that orders a handful of shows a year that this is a show you can skip and that's the last message I would ever want to tell my customer base and get them in the habit of skipping shows.
James Lynch, TSN.ca: This might be the most embarrassing main event the UFC has put on in years. What we have here is one of the pound-for-pound best fighters in the sport, moving up a weight class to face a journeyman who was contemplating retirement. Bonner is a 13-to-1 underdog for a reason, he's never challenged for a title and never fought any top talent other than Jon Jones. This is the equivalent of David Stern telling the NBA, "Forget this season, we're going to match up the Heat and Raptors in the NBA finals." It's absolutely insane.
What's even more puzzling is at 37-years-old, you would think the UFC would want to put Silva in marquee matchups to finish off his career. I doubt fans or pundits would be complaining if this main event was a superfight between Silva vs. Shogun Rua or Rampage Jackson. On top of all of this, Chris Weidman was supposed to earn a middleweight title shot after dismantling Mark Munoz and instead has to watch Silva leave the weight class and delay that fight. I understand this is a business decision and the fight itself is someone intriguing (Bonner has never been finished in his career), but once again this is a result of the UFC putting on too many cards and filling holes with whoever isn't scheduled to fight.
2) Who is to blame for the decision to cancel the Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Healy event?
Lynch: I blame both Showtime and Zuffa for this one. Let's start with Showtime and the argument that if you only plan on televising a few shows a year, make sure you work with Zuffa on a backup plan if an injury occurs. It's absurd to think that a single fight should carry an entire card and it's even more ridiculous to think that injuries won't occur leading up to a fight. I still think the event would have pulled decent numbers if a replacement fight occurred (apparently Josh Thomson was willing to step into the main event and face Healy), but I understand from a financial perspective you don't want to lose money televising an event. However, Zuffa really has to take a big chunk of the blame for this.
For starters, it's not like Stikeforce has many chips to play with. The majority of the organization's top talent has been signed to the UFC and the remaining fighters aren't noteworthy enough to headline an event that only occurs every couple of months. I don't understand why the UFC didn't just move a fighter or another fight to save this Strikeforce card? We know moving fighters over is possible, Dana White announced recently that apparently Matt Mitrione turned down a fight with Daniel Cormier. It's a telling sign with this cancellation that Strikeforce may be nearing its end, and I think the only way it can be successful is treat the organization like the minor leagues, combining a mixture of UFC gatekeepers and upcoming talent.
Pollock: It was a Showtime call to cancel the event and since the network must approve all fights on their cards they receive the blame for the cancellation of this show. We can all criticize the undercard, which was nothing to write home about, but frankly a main event between Gilbert Melendez and Pat Healy wasn't going to do appreciably more than a main event between Josh Thomson and Pat Healy. Showtime has to approve every fight that is booked and therefore it was good enough for them weeks ago to put on a card that was relying on one guy in Melendez. It also should be noted the lack of outcry over the cancellation of this show – no one has really cared that Saturday came and went without a Strikeforce show, it had little buzz even with Melendez attached.
On Strikeforce's end, it would have been great to go ahead with the show because they would have received the license fee from Showtime for the card, avoided paying Melendez his high guarantee of $175,000 and might have turned a profit on the show because of limited purses they would have to pay out.
3) Which is the more intriguing combat sports reality show this year? The Ultimate Fighter: Team Carwin vs. Team Nelson or Fight Factory?
Lynch: This is a tough one because so far this season of the Ultimate Fighter has been quite entertaining, but I have to go with Fight Factory. For those not familiar, Fight Factory is the reality series airing in the States following fighters training at American Kickboxing Academy (if you do some digging online Canadian fans, you can find it) Aside from the obvious feud between Josh Koscheck and coach Javier Mendez the thing that really sets this show apart is you get to see these fighters on more of a human level. It is also a good mix of well-known guys like Josh Koscheck, Daniel Cormier and Luke Rockhold and up and coming talent like Mark Ellis. The show highlights these fighters in their training camps and their struggles both before and after their fights.
I find on the Ultimate Fighter, it's a bunch of guys stuck in a house with alcohol trying to force a storyline. Not that I'm complaining as a viewer, I've really enjoyed this season of TUF with two quality coaches in Shane Carwin and Roy Nelson, and talented fighters like Mike Ricci. Here's hoping Fight Factory can get picked up by a Canadian outlet in the near future.
Pollock: I don't think it's even a comparison that Fight Factory is the more compelling of the two. Fight Factory is not marketing to the hardcore fight fan and is much more of a set of personality pieces and it just so happens the vocation of the personalities is fighting. TUF has been long in the tooth for some time and doesn't seem to know who they are marketing towards. In my opinion, TUF should be designed to bring in people that are not fight fans and don't watch all the Facebook fights and follow the UFC as a religion. It should be everything Fight Factory is attempting to be in that fighting is the back drop and the personalities are front and centre with storytelling carrying the show rather than two guys fighting for 10-15 minutes without commentary every week.
All the top seasons of TUF featured personalities that transcended the show and connected with people, whether it be Chris Leben exposing his childhood issues and being bullied by Bobby Southworth and Josh Koscheck, to the grudge between Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock in Season 3 and between Quinton Jackson and Rashad Evans in Season 10. People want stories and relatable characters and the average person doesn't connect with guys in the gym training and trading notes on clinch work and by doing.
A week before his light heavyweight title defence at UFC 172, Jon Jones told TSN.ca that one of the most exciting parts of his career is "just breaking records, you know?" After retaining his title for a record seventh time, it's time to take a look at what the Rochester native has accomplished and ask, is he the best ever? More...

Three people were killed and four others were injured after a crash in Gordon County on Tuesday.
According to the Georgia State Patrol, the accident happened at 5:47 p.m. on Highway 53 near Mauldin. They say an eastbound 1996 Ford Bronco driven by 35-year-old Brent Lynch ran off the road, re-entered the roadway, and slammed head-on into a Kia heading west.
The driver of the Kia, 27-year-old April Winters, and two passengers were killed in the collision.
The GSP says Lynch and a passenger in the Bronco, as well as two other passengers in the Kia were taken to an area hospital for treatment. Their conditions are not known.
Police say charges are pending against Lynch.

Window to buy low on these commodities is closing
Prices have fallen to a level that has altered the supply/demand dynamics in these sectors, which has created a limited-time opportunity to profit.
When the Federal Reserve launched its plans to stimulate the economy through quantitative easing in 2009, virtually all asset classes were expected to benefit as the massive increase in liquidity would trickle through the markets. Indeed, commodity prices initially surged in tandem with stock and bond prices.
Yet a case can be made that the storm clouds over commodities are starting to part. And as always, it comes down to supply and demand.
On the demand side of the equation, the discussion has focused on China, which had been showing signs of a rapid economic slowdown in the first half of 2013. Yet in recent weeks, various data suggest China's slowdown may not be as bad as feared. In a Bloomberg article this week, a fund manager at Shanghai-based Dragon Life noted that "Signs are emerging that China's economy will rebound." In fact, several economists have recently boosted their growth forecasts for the Chinese economy after a series of earlier downgrades.
But perhaps it's time to think about commodities in a global light. The Chinese market is surely important, but both the U.S. and Europe each account for one-fourth of global economic activity, and signs are pointing to growth (albeit off of a low base) in those areas well, which should lift demand for commodities.
Investors also need to track the supply side of the equation. A wide range of mining companies, from BHP Billiton (BHP) to Vale (VALE) to Rio Tinto (RIO) have all removed billions of dollars of new mining projects from their development slate. There is always a lag time between changes in capital spending and the impact on industry output, but the stage is set for a more constrained supply picture in 2014 and especially 2015.
Meanwhile, various commodity prices are showing signs of a rebound, or are at least forming a bottom. Take copper, for example, which had been in freefall, until recent economic clues out of China boosted sentiment.
If copper has indeed found a floor, then Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) is well positioned for upside, as I discussed recently on StreetAuthority.
In a similar fashion, agricultural commodity prices are showing recent signs of stabilization after sharp drops. Corn prices, for example, appear to have fallen to a level that has led poultry and cattle farmers to step up their purchases.
And the spot price for soybeans appears to have also made a bottom.
Perhaps the best way to capitalize on the apparent bottom in agriculture prices is the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETF (DBA), which made a 52-week low in early August before a recent modest rebound.
Investors should also explore the opportunities emerging in coffee after prices plunged to multi-year lows in the face of a robust global harvest. These sharp swings in coffee always tend to set the stage for their own reversal as low prices lead some major coffee traders to withhold supply from the market. The iPath DJ-UBS Coffee Total Return Sub-Index ETN (JO), has plunged from nearly $43 to $23 in the past year, and is well below the $80 level seen back in early 2011.
Selectivity is key
Not all commodities are poised for a rebound anytime soon. Finished commodities such as steel and aluminum are still dogged by too much industry capacity.
And trying to get a handle on the direction of gold prices is quite hard, simply because demand from places like India and China is proving to be fickle. According to the World Gold Council, roughly half of all gold bars and coins are being bought in those two countries. Yet the Indian government has raised taxes on gold imports on three occasions since the start of 2012 to blunt a staggering trade deficit, which could eventually crimp Indian demand.
What about natural gas? The spot price has plunged from $4.30 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) in May to a recent $3.55 per Mcf. Benign weather patterns, which crimped summertime electricity demand, are the key culprit. And gas isn't especially timely as we enter the shoulder season between summer and winter. Yet it pays to continue to track this commodity, which is far closer to a supply/demand equilibrium than it was a few years ago when gas prices plunged below $2 per MCF.
Risks to consider: The biggest risk for commodity prices is on the demand side. If the Chinese economy falters badly, then commodities will likely see new lows. For that matter, the U.S. and Europe need to show at least modest signs of growth to help boost the demand side of the equation.
Action to take: Few are talking about commodities right now, after the sector has inflicted such deep pain. Yet it is such times that opportunities emerge. The forces of supply and demand may prove to be slow-changing, which means that patience will be required, but the stage is increasingly set for an upcycle as we head into the middle of the decade.

Line and Dot low back jumpsuit
Planning for Bali I found myself in the jumpsuit section of Shopbop and to my delight I found Marg's floral jumpsuit in black! I remember Marg wearing it last september in New York and fell in love with its simplistic V neck front and low back detailing. At a price I couldn't refuse I quickly added to cart and so it seems a lot of others, as its nearly sold out. It can be difficult finding a low back number that doesn't fall into the category of showing too much skin or otherwise the annoyance of it being the perfect holiday ensemble but completely inappropriate once returning to the 'real world'.
I'm also drawn to this Tibi strappy dress, but probably would organise the criss cross straps a bit different as that lace up look kind of weirds me out... I think its a 90's thing? I simply can't deal!

College Strength and Conditioning Coaches
Question on isometric training
I just simply did a search on the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research for isometric training power. The first thing that came up had some information on there. The first study is plyometriv vs isometric training influences on tendon stiffness, which indicated that isometric training with iso's does in fact have a positive effect on tendon stiffness. It was a trend towards significance, and not statistically sig, so you could have an argument there, but so does he. I didn't see anything in the methods, but I just breezed through it. Anyway, you can try a search on pubmed too, for whatever reason I couldn't get onto their site though just a minute ago.
You may be able to reach some sort of compromise with him on something. Find out why he wants to build the mental toughness with iso's. If it's just because they suck, you may find some other way. I'm not sure if there are time constraints on high school workouts like there are on college, and if so, what those are, but I can find other ways to spend 10 minutes to build mental toughness. Various things that work strength endurance, etc (think strong man stuff, ropes, etc). They all suck, and thus must make you tougher, according to the way he thinks.
Anyway, good luck!
Doing a quick search this article may help to support your claim a bit. Other than this you can more simply explain that a 2 minute isometric hold in a squat position is really not training strength and power. Your just fatiguing the muscles and more likely improving a strength endurance aspect of the muscles as opposed to a emphasis on power. Personally, if I was in your shoes, I would have asked the coach why he was suggesting that type of training and where he is coming from. If your the strength coach with a certification, a coach should have to explain to you why he/she may want to change something in the program, with evidence for support, not the other way around. But that is just my personal opinion. Every setting is run differently but thankfully in my University setting the AD supports us 100% because he understand that were the ones with the training and certification. Like what Bryan said, you may be able to compromise and keep him happy by doing some of that stuff on a light day in the program and lower the weight to have a more strength endurance effect. Hope this helps and good luck.

Race Over to Charlotte!
The 2011 Electronic Security Expo is hot with RMR and value-add education. Head down to Charlotte to network with your peers and take advantage of all the educational sessions and resources offered to systems integrators, monitoring companies and other...
Jessica Wardlaw, corporate administrator of CPI Security Systems, Charlotte, N.C., agreed that while keeping up with technology is a challenge with the rapid onslaught of new solutions and product features, "integrators not ready for this shift should take the time to study the market and available platforms to ensure that they're making product selections that fit their culture, sales process and ability to support."
"Cost is always key when it comes to new technology sales opportunities because it controls the ability for dealers and integrators to bring solutions to market effectively and profitably," she continued. "The best scenario is to sell technology that creates efficiency in the sales and support processes to reduce and/or limit the amount business risk assessed in projecting volume and price."
For more on the residential and interactive front, check out these three new sessions:
Mobile App Business Models
June 7: 3:15 to 4:15 p.m.
This session will look at how integrators are making more money and more RMR on new mobile applications that provide access to security information and system control. Attendees will learn the packaging and models used by some of the most successful early adopters, looking at offers for both the residential and commercial markets coming from players large and small.
Understanding New Residential Integrated Systems Platforms
June 8: 10:45 to 11:45 a.m.
ESX Chair George De Marco will moderate this session which will feature the chief executive officers of major technology platform providers iControl and Alarm.com and senior representatives of manufacturers 2Gig Technologies and Honeywell. The panelists will provide a look at their technology road maps. The information is designed to help integrators figure out their next step in the residential market. De Marco will also recap this session in a much shorter format at the ESXperience Stage on the show floor the afternoon of June 8 at 3:30 p.m.
The Managed Services Service Dept.
June 9: 2 to 3 p.m.
Managed services is a concept that is taking off, especially for IP-based video and access control. In this session, speakers develop the concept of what a service department tasked with tending managed services for clients could and should be and will address the questions you need to ask. What technical skills and knowledge are required? How does the service team administer good customer service in this area? How does the managed services team interface and integrate with the traditional service department team? What are the outputs of a managed services team and how do you measure the productivity of technicians charged with these activities?
Make sure your experience in Charlotte is worthwhile off the show floor as well. Turn to page 69 for a list of fun activities you can partake in!
Experience This!
The ESXperience Stage, located between booths 401 and 501, will feature presentations by leaders of the ESA and the Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) and other industry leaders. Some of the topics include:
ü Coping with Chaos: Telecommunications Network Update
ü Residential Integrated Systems Technology Platforms Snapshot
ü Certifications & Training: What You Need & How To Get It
ü State of the Union with Law Enforcement & Fire Officials
ü Mobile App Business Models
ü The ESA Chapter Challenge

Title: Storage Gets Virtualized Beyond Security
Deck: Pivot3 discusses recent success and the future of storage
By Natalia Kosk
Following on the heels of its recent Wall Street Journal's second annual "Next Big Thing" ranking that lists the 50 most promising venture-backed capital companies, Lee Caswell, founder and chief marketing officer of video storage solutions provider Pivot3, Palo Alto, Calif., sat down with Security Dealer & Integrator to discuss the company's growth, overall storage statistics and trends, future models and how applications are expanding beyond the security industry.
"The bar for selling storage is very high because it's hard to sell something that is partly done," explained Caswell. "More and more data is being stored everywhere and worldwide capacity growth is over 30 percent right now. What is driving that and a lot of the new architecture is not the traditional database applications that a user has but instead it is about rich-media applications. Video surveillance is a really interesting proof-point of that because it has very high performance characteristics but it's very cost-sensitive," he continued.

Midsouth Bancorp Stock Upgraded (MSL)
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 1.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 15.3%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for MIDSOUTH BANCORP INC is currently very high, coming in at 87.40%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 7.10% trails the industry average.
- MIDSOUTH BANCORP INC's earnings per share declined by 43.8% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past two years. However, we anticipate this trend to reverse over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, MIDSOUTH BANCORP INC reported lower earnings of $0.27 versus $0.47 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.96 versus $0.27).
- The change in net income from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the Commercial Banks industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income has significantly decreased by 31.1% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $1.86 million to $1.28 million.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Commercial Banks industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, MIDSOUTH BANCORP INC underperformed against that of the industry average and is significantly less than that of the S&P 500.

CHADBOURN, NC (WECT) – A sergeant with the Chadbourn Police Department who was fired last month, will meet with town council members December 3 to talk about the possibility of getting his job back.
Mayor Fax Rector said the grievance will be in closed session during the town's next council meeting.
Sgt. Brian Campbell was fired after town officials say, he refused to take down videos he posted on the social media site Vine. Town officials said the videos were inappropriate.
According to town officials, Campbell and Officer Ricky Soles posted videos of them in uniform while on duty.
Town officials went on to say that beyond posting the videos while on duty, some of them could be seen as racially offensive.
According to Town Manager Stevie Cox, the videos were considered "behavior unbecoming of a police officer" under the standard operating procedures for the police department.
Cox said Campbell started arguing with Police Chief Steven Shaw when both men were told to take down the videos, and that's why he was fired. Soles, however, was not fired.
According to Soles, the videos were made at 4 a.m. during their break - after he and Campbell had completed all their work.
He also doesn't believe posting anything on Vine during work is any different then people posting things to Facebook.
According to Rector, Cox is looking into making policy changes for town employees regarding social media posts.

For Immediate Release:Democratic CaucusLouisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137 / 526-3622Louisville – In an effort to keep District 1 informed on how Louisville Metro Police are working to fight crime and keep the public safe, Councilwoman Attica Scott (D-1) will host a Community Forum on Tuesday along with LMPD Chief Steve Conrad.
"Chief Conrad is determined to get his officers and our communities working together to stop the violence on our streets," says Scott. "This is your chance to meet the Chief and hear of his public safety initiatives for all of us."
The Councilwoman continues to stress the need for everyone to get involved if Metro Louisville is going to deal with the problem of increased violence. The Forum will be an opportunity to ask questions and to share ideas on how to reduce violence.
It will take place on Tuesday, February 19th at the Parkland Boys and Girls Club, 3200 Greenwood Avenue starting at 6:00pm.
Scott is hopeful that Tuesday's meeting might spark some interest in helping young people in the area.
"Our location for the evening is the Parkland Boys and Girls," says Scott. "This club is one of the best ways we can help young people with alternatives to crime and being on the streets. I hope some people will ask a few questions as to how they can help out with Parkland."

Recent Tasting Notes
This is probably the finest black tea I've tried. It's strong and malty, with a long, sweet, fruity aftertaste. It can be brewed at least twice, with the second brew bringing out more of the delicate sweetness and less power. The second brew should probably be done for slightly longer than the first.
Tea #31 from the Here's Hoping TTB
My first few cups out of the TTB today left me feeling a little meh so I decided to find something unflavored to try. This is a nice bold cup of tea and exactly what I needed to shake off the tea blahs so I could finish off the last few teas I wanted to try before sending the box on tomorrow.
This tea is a little malty, a little sweet, a little drying, and not at all astringent. This reminds me a bit of a cross between a Yunnan and a Darjeeling and since I enjoy both, this is the perfect tea for me. The only downfall is that it left me craving something sweet, preferably chocolate, and I don't really have anything like that in the house right now. Guess that means it's time to bake some more toll house cookies :)
Tea #45 from HHTTB2
This tea reminds me of a lot of other teas, but doesn't match any of them exactly.
It has:
-The floral, fruity highlights of a Darjeeling. But they're much deeper.
-The sweetness of a Yunnan, only not as pronounced or refined.
-The maltiness of an Assam, only not quite as thick on the tongue.
-And the slight roasiness of Keemun, but comes across more earthy than smoky.
So, despite my brain's inability to place this tea, it's very, very good. The flavors are well-rounded and balanced and it's smooth. There's a slight drying on my tongue, but no bitterness or anything of that sort.
In a word, I'd describe this tea as masculine. It is very rich, malty and rugged. It is good and strong … with lots of gusto. Just the kind of tea you want to get going in the morning, you know?
I found this to be remarkably well-rounded. I have been very impressed with the teas that I've tried from Rare Tea Company, and this tea is no exception, rather, it emphasizes what I mean … this tea is really top-notch.
Here's my full-length review: http://sororiteasisters.com/2013/06/16/lost-malawi-black-tea-from-rare-tea-co/
I'm only just getting started out on my loose leaf tea adventures, with possibly only a dozen and a half loose leaf teas currently in my possession, but this tea has definitely made itself a firm place on my tea shelf.
I bought this tea to try out of curiosity, mostly; I wanted to know whether the price of the tea signified the quality. The answer is YES! This tea has both firm flavours and gentle (but not too subtle) complexities. It is a little light for my taste if not steeped for a while but it's fruity and if you are wanting a well bodied but not bland black tea to enjoy then this definitely gets my vote. It is, so far, the only tea that has always been a pleasure to drink and has always fit my varying moods/tastes.
I will be trying other teas from the Rare Tea Company based purely on the outstanding quality of this tea.
I forgot how delicious this is. My nightly Pu Erh didn't grab my attention because it was too mild and I began to crave dark, toasted black tea. Then I remembered I have a little of this left and boy am I glad. It's a little sweeter than I remember but I like that natural sweetness in black teas. :)
(For a more detailed review please view my previous steeping note).
This was a gift from my mother last month, said she saw it whilst shopping online and thought of me. :)
The tin that it comes in is attractive and has a secure lid so it's a gift that keeps on giving.
In raw form this tea is dark brown and finely chopped (for the most part) with a strong wooden and floral scent. I can also see some large pieces of stem/twig amongst the leaves, quite a bit in this batch to be honest.
Once steeped the tea is dark brown in colour with a rich malted and wooden aroma.
Flavour is thick with very rich malted highs and an undertone of flowers and perfume. Sweet yet dry and a little smoky. It's a very deep black tea but it's also somewhat lightened by the hint of flowers. A little longer in the steep and it becomes smokier and more roasted.
I've been trying to think of what it reminds me of in flavour and I just worked it out… a Darjeeling. It has the same sort of characteristics as a Darjeeling but in a perhaps slightly stronger version.
Overall it's been a surprisingly tasty, I wasn't sure what to expect from the highly stemmed tea but whatever it lacks in quality it doesn't lack in taste.

Central Park was already busy with a lot of spectators, a lot of security and excitement.
Tens of thousands of runners are pounding the pavement for the 26.2 mile run through all 5 boroughs.
Marathon officials say security will be the tightest it's ever been. The President and CEO of the NYRR says they are working with the NYPD with a really strong plan for security especially after the Boston marathon bombings.
This year's race will be treated as a potential terrorist target due to the terrorist attack that killed 3 people and injured 264 others in April. In addition to more officers, the NYPD has added more bomb sniffing dogs and more hidden cameras.. They will be monitoring the more than 1500 surveillance cameras placed along the route.
Many runners told us that the New York City marathon is much more than a race this year. It's about showing the world that Americans can overcome anything.
"I was there for the Boston bombing" one runner said. "It was very tragic, I'm here running for Boston as well."

Savannah attorney Benjamin S. Eichholz and the Eichholz Law Firm P.C. have been
ordered to restore losses and interest to the firm's retirement and pension
order comes after a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Labor, after an
investigation was conducted by the DOL's Employee Benefits Security Administration.
investigation found that Eichholz and his firm violated the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act and resulted in losses to the plans of more than $1 million,
according to the DOL.
the judge's order, Eichholz and his mother, Harriet B. Eichholz, forfeited
their right to any cash benefits from the plans.
and the firm will restore $15,053 to the plans and transfer $32,206 in plan
assets to an independent fiduciary, according to the Dept. of Labor.
December 2009, Eichholz pleaded guilty to obstructing EBSA's investigation. He
was sentenced to 21 months in prison and ordered to pay restitution of $50,117
to the plans, according to the DOL.
lawsuit was filed in 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of Georgia-Savannah Division.
accused the defendants of improperly transferring and lending plan assets to
prohibited individuals or organizations, such as the firm, Eichholz, his former
wife, and companies he owned or controlled.
judgment also permanently bars Eichholz and the firm from acting as fiduciaries
of any plan subject to ERISA, it appointed an independent fiduciary to
administer the plans, and it requires the defendants to reimburse the plan for
those fees and expenses, according to a DOL news release.
independent fiduciary has taken over the plans' assets and is responsible distributing
them to the participants and beneficiaries.
and the firm must also pay a civil penalty equal to 20 percent of the
applicable recovery amount.

Can United Continental fly higher?
Past bankruptcies have set the stage for a smoother flight ahead for this leading airline.
United Continental Holdings (UAL) is one of the largest passenger airlines in the world. It was formed by the merger of UAL (parent of United Airlines) and Continental Airlines in October 2010.
Like many airlines, both of the merger partners had previously been through bankruptcy. Continental had filed for Chapter 11 twice, in 1983 and again in 1990, and United filed in 2002. The integration of the two airlines has proven more challenging than management expected. As a result, the stock is down more than 30% from the time of the merger, and it has lagged a number of the other airline stocks recently.
The major airline stocks remain out of favor with most investors despite solid results for several quarters. Perhaps it relates to bad memories of past bankruptcies and stock volatility. We like the airlines in general because most of them have used bankruptcy effectively to reduce their cost structures and improve their balance sheets.
Moreover, unlike past business cycles when the airlines expanded quickly and then were over-extended when the economy turned down, most airlines have been very disciplined in managing capacity in the last few years.
In addition, industry consolidation has improved profitability. Among the airlines, we particularly like United Continental right now because of its strong international route structure and the poor recent performance of its stock, which we view as temporary.
We don't know exactly when the merger-related glitches will stop, but we suspect it will be pretty soon. Once this finally happens, passengers will come back to the airline, and the integration costs will go away. The impact of Hurricane Sandy is already in the rear view mirror.
Longer-term, we believe United Continental is well positioned. The United side has long dominated the lucrative Asian routes, and Continental provides good coverage in areas of the U.S. where United was weaker.
Once the integration problems are solved, the combined airline should be able to generate significant efficiencies and cost-savings.
Because of investor wariness about the industry in general and short-term concerns about United Continental in particular, the stock is trading at quite a low valuation – about ten times this year's expected earnings and perhaps as low as five times next year's.
As the airlines in general begin to show more consistent results, investors will give the group higher multiples, and as UAL's integration issues recede, its stock should rise even further. We recommend buying United Continental stock up to $27.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WTAQ) - Details of a plea agreement for a Wisconsin woman accused of killing her infant daughter 55 years ago were made public in court Monday.
A Sheboygan County judge accepted the plea deal for Ruby Klokow.
The 76-year-old Klokow will spend 45 days in jail plus 10 years of probation. Sheboygan County District Attorney Joe DeCecco recommended the sentence due to Klokow's advanced age and health.
According to a criminal complaint, Klokow admitted to causing the death of then 6-month-old Jeaneen.
In 2008, Klokow's son, James Klokow Jr., came forward with horrific stories of child abuse and suspected something had happened to his sister. After an investigation, Klokow was charged with second-degree murder.

Status Reports
This is the status of the Gentoo/Alpha Arch Team. It will be posted
regularly, but not with a static frequency. All questions can be posted to
The Gentoo/Alpha Arch Team, has its own project page (just like almost all
other Gentoo projects). You can find it at
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/alpha/. Also you can contact us
via IRC at #gentoo-alpha using Freenode IRC server.
This status report will briefly discuss the following tasks, objectives and/or
projects related to the Gentoo/Alpha Arch Team:
Toolchain and Kernel development
Thanks mainly to Bryan Østergaard (kloeri) and our base
herd, the toolchain and the kernel are in very good health:
Security Bugs
The Alpha arch team is pleased to say that we've managed all security bugs
within a very reasonable response time. At the moment, no delay on
marking stable versions when security requires it.
Kudos also, to our security herd and
rest of our arch teams for keeping Gentoo security in a high level.
SELinux development
Stephen Bennett (spb) is currently working
on SELinux support for
Gentoo/Alpha and we hope to see a SELinux profile for alpha in the tree as
soon as we feel confident about it.
A little note here to say thanks to Dforge and Virginia Computer Science Department
for maintaining our testing computers and adding the new boxes to support
SELinux development.
Modular Xorg on Gentoo/Alpha
Thanks to our developer Stefaan De Roeck (stefaan) the modular Xorg porting to alpha is
going pretty well. We are still waiting for upstream to fix some errors before
putting the alpha keyword on it.
Stefaan also has a tinderbox to check modular xorg on alpha:
Experimental java on Gentoo/Alpha
After some work trying to fix compaq-java (see bug 84306) we are nearly sure it is a
waste of time trying to make something unsupported upstream and obsolete
(provide jre/jdk-1.3) work.
After some experiences with SableVM, Thomas Cort (tcort) has been playing with lastest version
of this free alternative to make java work on Alpha. SableVM seems to work
with basic packages so, our plan is to set up an overlay and start playing
with this.
More info about Thomas' current work:
Alpha Arch testers Project
Fernando J. Pereda (ferdy) is working
these days on setting up our Arch Testers project which has given very good
results on other arch teams inside Gentoo (mainly amd64).
For more information, you can read the overview on the amd64 arch
testers' project page to see what this project is about:
Future change on the Alpha Project Page
We hope to make some changes on our official project page to keep public info
well structured and a bit more updated than it is now. Also starting
subproject sections with information about arch testers, SELinux and
java would be good.

Avondale, Ariz. • On a mid-November day in 2010, Denny Hamlin nearly was inconsolable after he climbed from his race car at Phoenix International Raceway.
The Virginian, poised to win his first Sprint Cup Series championship, had dominated the race until his No. 11 Toyota ran short of fuel and required a late pit stop. A stunned Hamlin lost the race and, the next weekend, he lost the title to Jimmie Johnson.
So Hamlin understandably felt a measure of vindication Sunday when he won the Subway Fresh Fit 500 for his first career victory at Phoenix, even if this time it was only the second race on the schedule.
"It's a little bit of satisfaction there," said Hamlin, who held off Kevin Harvick and led the last 59 laps of the 312-lap race en route to his 18th career Cup win. "It feels good."
Harvick, who ran out of fuel on the final lap, finished second and Greg Biffle was third. Johnson, the five-time champion, was fourth.
Hamlin also took over the series standings, leading by six points over Biffle, eight over Harvick and 10 over Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth, who finished 13th Sunday.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., who finished 14th after his second-place finish at Daytona, was fifth in the Cup standings, 17 points behind Hamlin.
Hamlin, who drives for Joe Gibbs Racing and finished fourth in the Daytona 500, wasn't the only one enjoying a comeback of sorts. His crew chief, Darian Grubb, was also.
Grubb had been Tony Stewart's crew chief at Stewart-Haas Racing but was cut loose after last year's regular season, even before he helped Stewart win the championship during the 10-race Chase for the Cup.
"I guess you could say it is a little bit of vindication" with Sunday's win "but I really don't think that way," Grubb said. "I feel like I came into a very good situation."
Several drivers took turns leading phases of the race; Harvick led 88 laps, Johnson led 55 and Kyle Busch led 52 before finishing sixth.
