Sidestep the Sniffles
By Matthew Solan
All too often, the return of autumn means another round of nagging colds and flus. Don't want to spend the next six months wrapped in a cocoon of blankets, downing hold-your-nose cough syrup and mystery capsules? Forget about starving the cold and feeding the fever, and follow the lead from three healing methods—ayurveda, naturopathy, and traditional Chinese medicine. Their safe and effective remedies can stop a sickness at first sniffle or throat tickle and have you back in action before the Kleenex boxes pile up.
The centuries-old Indian healing practice of ayurveda views colds and flus as signs of dosha imbalance—in Western terms, when your biological energy or constitution goes haywire. These maladies strike more often in autumn and winter because both seasons increase vata, the dosha associated with wind and cooler weather. Ayurvedic practitioners believe the change from hot to cold weather weakens our digestive fire or agni and, with it, our immune system, leaving our body with an excess of toxins called ama (that filmy, white gunk coating your tongue). This "sticky" environment makes the body more susceptible to illness-causing viruses.
As if that weren't enough, too much ama can bring on an excess of kapha, the dosha associated with cold and wetness (known in cold-speak as phlegm and mucus). A kapha imbalance will leave you feeling heavy and sluggish with lots of congestion and thick, heavy nasal discharge. A cold caused by a vata dosha imbalance, on the other hand, shows up as fatigue and sleeplessness and is usually accompanied by a dry cough, a sore throat, and a watery, runny nose.
Rx For Prevention: You can counteract the effects of the cold and windy vata season by keeping your body temperature up. At the first sign of a sniffle or cough, begin a morning ritual of abhyanga, a head-to-toe heated sesame oil massage. (Fill a glass jar with oil, and run it under comfortably warm water.) Follow with a warm bath or shower. This added warmth helps stimulate your digestive fire so your body has an easier time "burning off " phlegm and mucus.
Keep your immunity at its strongest by taking any (or all) of the following herbs: ashwaganda (600 to 1,000 mg daily, divided into two or three capsules); amalaki (250 to 500 mg twice a day); and gotu kola (500 to 1,000 mg daily). "All these build up resistance to stress and other external invaders that can weaken your immune system," says Mark Toomey, PhD, director of health science at The Raj, a Maharishi Ayurveda Health Center in Fairfield, Iowa.
Rx For Treatment: Generally, you can treat both cold types with the following remedies, says Toomey. First, cut back on all dairy, like yogurt, cheese, and milk, and foods made with sugar and oils, all of which tend to increase kapha and mucus. Up your intake of warming herbs and spices, such as cinnamon, ginger, pippali (known in the US as long pepper), basil, cloves, and mint to soothe kapha and vata. Toss them...

Thursday's coverage looks ahead to the week
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
Thursday's newspapers are packed with previews of Sunday's Merseyside derby.
Seamus Coleman appears in the Liverpool Echo stating his desire for a sixth clean sheet in eight games when the Blues head to Anfield.
The Echo's David Prentice takes a look at the stats of both Merseyside teams this campaign and highlights the differing styles, with Everton notably more effective on the wings than their counterparts.
Tim Howard tells the Liverpool Post that the Blues are confident of silencing the hosts' attack, while Phil Jagielka talks about taking over the Everton captaincy in the same paper.
Words from the England defender also appear in the Daily Express, Daily Telegraph, Daily Mirror and Daily Star.
And Mark Lawrenson writes in the Post that 'Everton simply have to go for it'.
Meanwhile, Under-18s boss Kevin Sheedy speaks glowingly of the young Blues' efforts this term as the Echo report on their 2-0 win against Bolton.

|We report the final analysis of a search for microlensing events in the direction of the Andromeda galaxy, which aimed to probe the MACHO composition of the M31 halo using data collected during the 1998-99 observational campaign at the MDM observatory. In a previous paper, we discussed the results from a first set of observations. Here, we deal with the complete data set, and we take advantage of some INT observations in the 1999-2000 seasons. This merging of data sets taken by different instruments turns out to be very useful, the study of the longer baseline available allowing us to test the uniqueness characteristic of microlensing events. As a result, all the candidate microlensing events previously reported turn out to be variable stars. We further discuss a selection based on different criteria, aimed at the detection of short--duration events. We find three candidates whose positions are consistent with self--lensing events, although the available data do not allow us to conclude unambiguously that they are due to microlensing.

Tweet Parade (no.51 Dec 2012)
22/12/2012 | 1 Comment
On this first day of the holidays I have a new roundup with last week's best tutorials and articles found on the interwebs. It's all about HTML, CSS, responsive web design, graphics, SEO, WordPress and more. A broad scale of topics, but never-the-less the underlying focus is on Design.
Also I see this as my personal bookmarks of great articles from the Community of the last period. These hand-picked articles and tutorials are categorized by their main topics. The best way to keep track of these tweets is simply to follow me on Twitter.
Webdesign Coding: CSS, HTML, Javascript, PhP, APIs, etc.
A Harder-Working Class – In the next handful of paragraphs, we will look at how these emerging practices – such as object-oriented CSS and SMACSS – are pushing the relevance of class
Using web fonts in email – If you've ever flirted with using web fonts in your email designs, it may be your lucky day. With the @import CSS at-rule, support for less-traditional typefaces is looking better than ever.
Placeholders and Overflow – Unfortunately in some circumstances the INPUT element's placeholder text doesn't fit within the length of the element, thus displaying an ugly "cut off." To prevent this ugly display, you can use CSS placeholder styling and
text-overflow: ellipsis!
CSS Click Events – An article about different experimental approaches of employing click events using CSS only. It summarizes and shows some clever hacks and smart tricks.
Why HTML5 is more semantic – In this article, we will explore what makes HTML5 more semantic than its predecessors, outlining what this means for Web development now and in the future.
Which JavaScript Recipe Is Right For You? – Let's start with some fundamental negatives. JavaScript has no good answer for some really basic features of modern programming languages: private variables and functions, packages and modules, standard localization mechanisms, ..
How To Add Realism With CSS Box Shadow And Text Shadow – The best part with both types of shadow is they're incredibly quick and easy to learn and you don't need to worry about vendor prefixes.
CSS Baseline: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly – Vertical rhythm is clearly an important part of Web design, yet on the subject of baseline, our community seems divided and there is no consensus as to how it fits in — if at all — with our growing and evolving toolkit for designing online.
Five things you didn'tknow the web could do – In this article, I'm going to dive into the top five most amazing things from "The Web Can Do That!?"
Hot in web standards:November/December 2012 – I doubt many of you can think about web standards at this time of the year, with the holidays just around the corner and the Christmas songs loops in practically every public place.
Giving Content Priority with CSS3 Grid Layout – it is important to note that, at the time of writing, these examples work only in Internet Explorer 10. CSS3 grid layout is a module created by Microsoft, and implemented using the
-ms prefix in IE10.
Public service announcement: time to update your CSS3 – With a number of recent changes in the browser world, now is the time to revisit and update your code. Read on to find out what may need updating.
CSS calc – The calc routine is especially useful when calculating relative widths. Calculations can be additions, subtractions, multiplications, and divisions, providing developers an ounce of programming ability within CSS.
Getting to Know CSS3 Selectors: Structural Pseudo-Classes – CSS pseudo-classes target elements that can't be targeted with combinators or simple selectors like
id or
HTML5 is Feature Complete. Hello HTML5.1! – The world may end on Friday, but at least all web-based doomsday announcements can be coded according to the finalized HTML5 specification!
A Tale of Animation Performance – Using
translate() will always "nudge" the element from it's current position which is perfect for an effect like this, or really any design-specific motion.
Calc()ulating layouts & backgrounds with CSS – It's pretty easy — the
calc() function can be used anywhere lengths are required. This means it can be used in margin, padding, width, heights background-position, and a lot more.
A Few New Things Coming To JavaScript – In this post, I will review some of the features I'm personally looking forward to landing and being used in 2013 and beyond.
How to Detect DOM Changes in CSS – Traditionally the two classical methods for detecting DOM changes are 1) using a timer, or 2) binding on the DOM mutation events. Both methods suck.
Usability, User Experience, Responsive Webdesign, Mobile, etc.
The Worst UI Pattern in Existence – Infinite scroll + footer. Scroll through page content to the footer. As you start reading the footer links, the site injects new content into the page and the footer gets pushed down below the fold.
What's the Difference Between Fixed, Fluid, Adaptive, and Responsive Web Design? – As a web designer, it's important to embrace that your website is going to look different in various browsers and on different devices.
Watching Them Struggle – You've probably watched somebody who is not technically savvy trying to operate an interface new to them, likely with little success.
Responsive Design vs Server-Side Solution – There is a large and continual debate as to whether or not you should build your WordPress blog and site to be responsive or if you should go native or have a server-side solution.
Don't do a responsive site and see what happens! – We always respect our client's desires, cause let's face it the client is always right, however, we want to concentrate on why you are making a big mistake by not going responsive and what the side effects of it are.
A Responsive CSS Background Image Technique – I came across the need to make a background image responsive, keeping the same aspect ratio at different widths. The limitation was that we couldn't change any HTML or back end code so changing it to a simple
imgwas out of the question.
Trends in User Experience – As 2012 ends, it's a good time to consider what the future of user experience might bring—in terms of both cultural shifts that impact UX professionals and UX design trends.
50 Best Responsive Web Design Toolbox – To support the entire process of responsive website designing and development, a lot of web design tools have been introduced.
Vexing Viewports – Browser makers in turn agree to support those standards and set defaults appropriately, so we can hold up our end of the deal. This agreement has never been more important.
Conditional loading of resources with mediaqueries – Here is a quick idea about making mediaqueries not only apply styles according to certain criteria being met, but also loading the resources needed on demand.
The Opportunities And Challenges Of Responsive Design – Responsive websites are designed with a flexible grid. They use media queries to determine the screen size for every individual site visit and rescale the content accordingly.
Boost Your Mobile E-Commerce Sales With Mobile Design Patterns – Having a good mobile e-commerce experience matters a lot. In fact, recent research has found that people are 67% more likely to make a purchase if a website they've reached on their phone is smartphone-friendly.
The Pros & Cons of Responsive Web Design – However, now with Responsive Web Design, a page is constructed in a way that it automatically adapts to the device's screen size. Although, there are many advantages to Responsive web design, there are few disadvantages as well.
10 UX things we remembered in 2012 – In the following article we will describe these sometimes obvious things … along with a few other key takeaways from the last year. We hope this little bit of insight will save you from that *facepalm* moment in the year to come.
Creating tablet-friendly websites: 4 importantthings to consider – There are some key usability guidelines to consider when designing a website. This helps ensure a user friendly experience for all users, irrespective of whether they are using a finger or a mouse.
Responsive Design of the Future with Flexbox – Flexbox is a recommendation in CSS3 that enables designers to control the arrangement of elements on a page with more finesse than contemporary CSS approaches which have become common because we didn't have a better solution.
Webdesign in Common, Web Typography, jQuery, Tools, etc.
10 skills for developers to focus on in 2013 – Development trends that began to emerge in 2012 are picking up steam. Here's a look at the must-know technologies for the year ahead.

4 Easy Ways to Improve your Website Today – Many modern consumers idly browse the web and prefer to spend time on pages with lots of interactivity, and less content. I'm not suggest writing a couple of lines per page and lead ..
Best jQuery Plugins of 2012 – Continuing our "Best of 2012″ series, the focus this week is on jQuery plugins. Over the past year, we've seen a tons of great new plugins, which made choosing our favorites extremely difficult.
Cultivating Trust Through Web Design – Yet it is on the web that knowing whom to trust can prove most difficult, and it is therefore a scarce but highly valuable commodity.

CRANDON, Wis. (WSAU) - Forest County officials say they have a juvenile in custody after he posted a threatening video to Youtube.
Sheriff John Dennee said in a statement that the video showed scenes of students getting shot while using Crandon School as a backdrop. Numerous people called in the video to the department, prompting officers to come out with a search warrant to examine the juvenile's home. The search produced no weapons or additional evidence.
Deputies and school officials did an examination of the school over the weekend and did not find any evidence of a planned attack. Sheriff Dennee says they believe the video was just a hoax. "Our investigation indicates that while the video was made in very poor judgment, there appears to be no indication of danger to the students, school personnel or general public."
The suspect is being held in custody and was expected to make an initial appearance in court on Monday. Since the suspect is a juvenile, no other information has been released.

A day in the life of Hawaii's last pineapple cannery
A little less than a decade ago it was hard to imagine Hawaii without a pineapple cannery. Now in a new millennium, in a new economy, it is equally difficult to believe that one still exists. But just a 15-minute drive from Kahului Airport sits the Maui Pineapple Company's cannery, defying the odds.
|Fruits of their labor: Work and the day begin at the Maui Pineapple Company.
Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (AMEX: MLP), first organized in 1909, is one of the state's largest landowners with 28,600 acres, employing approximately 2,040 people. But since the 1970s, the "land" of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (No. 46 on this year's Top 250) has dominated the company's earnings and identity. In early 1999, Steve Case, the world's most famous Internet islander, bought a controlling interest in the struggling company, which includes the Kapalua resort's two hotels, three golf courses and luxury homes and condominiums.
|Industrial View: The hulking facade of the cannery.
|Workers take a well-deserved break.
But almost forgotten is the company's pineapple operations and its little cannery that could. (It is almost fitting that the company's harvest is placed into unmarked cans to be later labeled by a mainland supermarket chains across the country.) From sun up to sun down, the Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. is in full gear, whether it's the field workers gathering pineapples, the technicians testing levels of the fruit's acidity in the lab, or the men operating the heavy machinery within the warehouse.
|Field workers pick the pineapple by hand.
But there are many challenges in the future. In 1999, pineapple revenue was $94.5 million, down 3.2 percent from 1998. Volume in all areas of the company's pineapple division was also down and the company says the decline was in part due to a planned reduction in cultivated acreage. The company has also experienced problems with dry weather conditions for the past five years. Finding the water resources to keep the plantation alive has been challenging, yet thanks to sound agricultural practices and irrigation, crop productions improved from 1998.
|Machines cut fruit into familiar shapes.
Still, looking toward tomorrow is the key to the company's survival. Last year Maui Pineapple made advancements with their freshly cut pineapple distribution and has created a pineapple salsa, which has received an enthusiastic response from retailers. This year the company says it plans to continue improving product quality, reducing operations costs as well as improving fruit and juice recovery. And tomorrow is another day and another sunrise.

Col Ballroom For Sale, But Not For Lack of Business
November 04, 2013
A Quad Cities woman is trying to keep the Col Ballroom and its history alive. Leigh Reitz is Events Coordinator at the venue on West 4th Street in Davenport. She's also the treasurer of the Mexican American Organization, which owns it.
Reitz says next year, the Col will be 100 years old. But the organization wants to sell it after operating the ballroom for nearly 30 years. "Many of the members are older now. No one wants to run it, and that's one of the reasons they put it up for sale."
She says people can rent the Col Ballroom for $300-400 less than other reception halls in the Quad Cities. It has room for more than 1,300 people. And customers can hire any vendor or bring in their own food, unlike other places where the choices and prices are limited. "I took it on because no one was doing anything with it. It was vacant. That's unacceptable to me since it has so much history...I've been booking, booking, booking. I only have two Saturdays available next year from January through December." The original Coliseum burned down in 1913. It was rebuilt the next year with brick. And Reitz says even though the Col Ballroom is old, it's structurally sound and only needs paint and a few cosmetic updates.
If the Mexican American Organization finds a buyer, she says the group will use the money for a scholarship fund.

411 MMA Fact or Fiction 01.09.13: Cormier/Jones, Severn's Retirement, Alvarez to the UFC, More
Posted by
Wyatt Beougher
on 01.09.2013
Are we interested in Daniel Cormier challenging for Jon Jones' light heavyweight title? Is Dan Severn's retirement going to last? Will we see Eddie Alvarez in the Octagon? 411's Patrick Mullin and Todd Vote debate these topics and more!
Welcome to a new year of 411's MMA Fact or Fiction, and as always, I'm your host, Wyatt Beougher. Last week, Dustin James and Dan Plunkett looked ahead to 2013 and both myself and the reader vote scored the bout in favor of Mr. Plunkett. This week, we're back to more topical statements, as Patrick Mullin and Todd Vote will debate some of the stories I found most interesting over the past 10 days. Robert Winfree will be guest judging this week, and with the holidays over, you can expect the regular rotation of guest judges to be back into play. Why? For the same reason that I decided to include the reader poll, because I know I'm not the be-all, end-all when it comes to MMA, so I honestly like to have other opinions. With that in mind, let's get down to business, shall we?

Regular, 4-Player Co-Op (Video Games Zone)/MMA Fact or Fiction
1.) Renato Sobral made the right decision in choosing not to participate as Fabricio Werdum's assistant coach on the second season of
TUF: Brasil
in order to better prepare for Bellator's season eight light heavyweight tournament.
Patrick Mullin:
- There was a point in time when Babalu was looked at as one of the top light heavyweights in the world. That time was close to a decade ago though and opportunities are limited for Sobral after he burned his bridges with Zuffa trying to kill David Heath. So when Bellator gave him the opportunity to fight for six figures and a shot at their championship how could Babalu devote any attention to anything else? He also happens to be fighting in a tournament with one of the premier light heavyweights in the world in Mo Lawal and even if he didn't win the tournament a win or competitive showing against someone of that caliber could absolutely revitalize his career. While it would be nice for Babalu to be seen on TV(albeit in a very limited capacity) under the Zuffa umbrella he's getting something professional athletes hardly ever get in their careers, a second chance. This is the last opportunity for Babalu and he has to make the most of it.
Todd Vote:
. He absolutely made the best choice. Babalu is a fighter first and foremost. If being an assistant coach on TUF: Brazil had even a chance to throw him off his fight game for the upcoming tournament, then yes, he made the absolute right call. What did he have to gain from being an assistant coach on the show? It's not like being Werdum's assistant is going to suddenly make Dana White want to sign him to another UFC contract. So I say that unless Sobral was already looking to a life beyond fighting, he was 100% correct in choosing to prepare for his upcoming tournament as opposed to coaching on TUF: Brazil. Even if he loses in the first round and gets knocked out of the tournament, I would still say this was the right call for him.
Judge Wyatt Beougher's Scorecard:
Both guys in agreement here, and it's hard to fault them for their answers; still, though, I'm hoping one of these times that I send out one of these 'Fighter A made the right call by doing Y instead of X' statements, someone's going to disagree with me. Since that didn't happen, I'm scoring this one a
Draw, 10-10
Judge Robert Winfree's Scorecard:
Both men make essentially the same point here, Sobral is unlikely to ever fight in the UFC again and needs to keep his priorities straight. Since their points are so similar it comes down to minor details, and I have to give an edge to Mullin for also pointing out the involvement of King Mo.
10-9 Mullin, 10-9 Mullin overall
Bellator 360
is an excellent idea and will help to get viewers emotionally invested in the fighters featured on the show, as well as helping to build up to Bellator's bigger fights.
Todd Vote:
. It draws attention to some of the better fighters and the better fights the organization has put on. Shows like this can be a big boost to the overall product just by simply raising awareness. Judging by the ratings for the show's back to back premier episodes, I'd say it is already working. They averaged just under 500,000 viewers, a number they wouldn't have dreamed of on MTV2. Add in the fact that the number of viewers increased for the second episode, and I would say that this is arguably already working in Bellator's favor. Spike TV needs to just get behind the show now, and promote it.
Patrick Mullin:
- Any sport whether they realize it or not lives and dies by audience participation. Be it by having fans buy tickets to the show, wear the t-shirt of the company or their favorite fighter, we're the collective lifeblood of mixed martial arts because if it wasn't for us these guys would be fighting in empty arenas with no television coverage and no one would care. So when you can find new ways to increase the participation of your audience and draw in new viewers by presenting them with an opportunity to help mold how fights are booked how can it hurt? Imagine the feeling you'd get if you help guide a fighter through their Bellator run and they go all the way to a title. You're giving fans without a connection to the sport at all to say "Hey, I was there from the beginning with this guy and now he's a champ!" Its giving the fans the opportunity not only to interact with Bellator and its fighters, but to share in their success. That's a feeling that you just can't have any other way.
Judge Wyatt Beougher's Scorecard:
I loved Patrick's answer, but Todd got into the brass tacks with the ratings and how they've both already dwarfed what Bellator was doing on MTV2 and how they increased from the first episode to the second. If we did half point rounds, Pat would've gotten a 9.5, but as it is, Todd takes this one.
Vote, 10-9
Judge Robert Winfree's Scorecard:
While both men go FACT here, both use different logical approaches. Mr. Vote points out the numbers associated with moving from MTV2 to Spike. Mr. Mullin makes a very good point about emotional investment in fighters and how it can pay off in a big way. I can't disagree with either.
10-10 DRAW, 20-19 Mullin overall
3.) In spite of Bellator's counter-offer, Eddie Alvarez will join the UFC in 2013.
Patrick Mullin:
- I had a difficult time answering this question. Money talks and that other stuff walks and in the eyes of many taking on more difficult work for the same money as an easier job is seen as a foolish move. But this is the fight game we're talking about and the great ones always want to cement their legacies by fighting against the very best and proving their worth. What really was the clincher for me was watching Eddie's fights with Patricky Pitbull and Michael Chandler though. Really you could watch any of Eddie's fights though and come to the same conclusion; the guy doesn't believe in playing it safe. Eddie Alvarez is a risk taker willing to put it all on the line. While he's been the face of Bellator I think everyone understands that this is about more than the money, this is about a need for Eddie Alvarez to prove to himself he really is one of the best fighters in the world. Aside from a rematch with Michael Chandler there's nothing Bellator can offer him that would be worthwhile to him that he wouldn't get with the UFC. Eddie Alvarez has the spirit of a fighter inside of him that can only be satisfied with fights against the guys at the top of the game, and they're in the UFC.
Todd Vote:
. Now I am not a lawyer, so I am going on assumptions here, as I was not able to find any solid info on what exactly the offer matching period means for Bellator. If I am understanding correctly, as long as the offer Bellator makes to Alvarez matches that of the UFC's offer, they can keep him in the fold. So I would say them matching the offer would mean that Eddie is staying put. However, if that just means that Zuffa can counter the offer again and offer more money, then yes Bellator's counter offer will not keep him out of the UFC. I'm going to go with Fiction, simply because I don't know all the details of the matching period, or how it all works.
Judge Wyatt Beougher's Scorecard:
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to check with Pat and see if he meant FACT before I sent their responses off for judging (I don't actually read the responses until I judge them myself, as I don't want to favor either competitor's response before I can read them both), so I'm going to assume that's what he meant. And while he makes a great point, this statement was sent out prior to the news breaking that Bellator would be suing Alvarez to attempt to keep him with the promotion, so I honestly think that Todd's got the correct answer here.
Vote, 10-9
Judge Robert Winfree's Scorecard:
Theoretically these two disagree here and I believe Mr. Mullin meant to go with FACT, but I can only work with what I've got here. Since Patrick pretty much countered his own stance with his argument this one goes to Mr. Vote.
10-9 Vote, 29-29 overall
4.) If he drops to light heavyweight, it makes sense to match Daniel Cormier up against Jon Jones, as Cormier will provide the biggest challenge of Jones' title reign.
Todd Vote:
No, no, no, no. There are several people in line waiting for a shot. With Cormier considering the drop to LHW, why should he get to slingshot past those people? Especially coming into a new weight class. How can some folks have a problem with Vitor challenging Jones, then Sonnen doing the same, yet be okay with Cormier coming in and jumping past everyone else to get an immediate title shot? A title shot should be earned, not handed out just because someone asked for one. This new practice in the UFC of giving people title shots because they piss off the champ or because they are coming into the promotion with a bit of momentum should stop. Or at the very least, if Cormier comes in to an immediate title shot, shouldn't Strikeforce's other champions be afforded the same opportunity? Will Luke Rockhold or Nate Marquardt be given this same opportunity, or is this little benefit only suitable for Cormier and Melendez?
Patrick Mullin:
- In terms of skills it's pretty damn hard to find someone as good pound for pound as Daniel Cormier. He's an Olympic level freestyle wrestler who has turned himself into a terrific MMA boxer with the power to drop big heavyweights. He's as talented a fighter as there is in mixed martial arts so how could it not make sense to match him up with Jon Jones if he decides to drop to 205 pounds? Jones has dominated every light heavyweight he's faced and no light heavyweight at this point would or
be favored against him. Cormier however is at worst case even money with Jones if not seen as a favorite. He's a better wrestler with a lower base which makes him more difficult to take down and in better position to shoot on Jones. He's shown much better stand up technique in terms of defense while mixing in good combination punching and surprisingly quick kicks. This is a fight that would literally be must see for anyone who considers themselves a fan.
Judge Wyatt Beougher's Scorecard:
As one of Vitor Belfort's most outspoken critics (at least in terms of him getting unearned title shots in the UFC), Todd's answer definitely resonates with me, but as a fan of the sport, it's hard to argue with Pat's answer. While I don't see any way in hell Cormier would be favored against Jones, especially since he's never made the cut to 205 before and Jones would still have a 13 ½" reach advantage, I'd still rather see Cormier across the Octagon from Jones more than any other light heavyweight not named Dan Henderson. This was a very difficult round for me to score, maybe the toughest in my tenure as ForF host, but in the end, I'm going with Pat here.
Mullin, 10-9
Judge Robert Winfree's Scorecard:
I'm really torn here, because I have to agree in large part with Mr. Vote's stance on seemingly random people being awarded title shots. On the other hand Mr. Mullin is correct in pointing out that Daniel Cormier at 205 is the only possible threat to Jon Jones at this point. Given that the only real challengers at this point at light heavyweight are Alexander Gustafsson and Dan Henderson, and with a loss either guy could be tossed out of the discussion, I've got to give a slight edge here to Mullin.
10-9 Mullin, 39-38 Mullin overall
5.) Dan Severn will come out of retirement if one of the three men he wanted to fight before retiring (Ken Shamrock, Mark Coleman, or Royce Gracie) agrees to fight him.
Patrick Mullin:
- Dan Severn will always be the guy who I credit with bringing me into MMA. When I saw him German Suplex one Anthony Macias at UFC 4 I instantly became a fan. While Dan has announced his retirement and has been talking about it for the last few years, I have no doubt in my mind that were he able to secure a rematch with Royce, Ken, or Coleman he'd be in the gym as soon as he could. Dan Severn is a proud athlete and one of the pioneers of MMA in the United States. Proud athletes hold on to losses though and always want the chance to avenge them or take a rubber match to prove superiority. For as many years as Dan has talked about retirement he also talked about these rematches. When he was at the mark of 98 wins he said he'd retire at 100 and wanted 99 & 100 to be Royce and Ken Shamrock or Mark Coleman. He's already passed 100 victories so what's two or three more bouts if it gives him a chance to even or better the score with the men he considers his three greatest rivals?
Todd Vote:
. Why not? Severn himself said he wanted to fight all of those guys before he retired, but was just unable to put any of the fights together. Plus it is not like he has been retired for years, the man literally just hung his gloves up last week. I would see no problem with him putting off his retirement in order to take one last fight with the men you listed. He has earned the right to make that choice. He is the Beast after all.
Judge Wyatt Beougher's Scorecard:
Both guys in agreement here, and when I sent the question out, I figured this to be an easy FACT; however, in an interview after his retirement, Severn seemed resigned to the fact that if he couldn't get those fights scheduled in 2012, he was well and truly done with his illustrious career. Would I be surprised if he came out of retirement for any one of those fights? Actually, I would, but it wouldn't totally shock me. I'm giving Pat the very narrow edge on this one for pointing out that like so many other proud athletes, Severn's pride would likely be the motivating factor for him to come out of retirement.
Mullin, 10-9
Judge Robert Winfree's Scorecard:
Both men agree, which is always difficult. Making essentially the same point in pretty much the same way, I've got to call this round a draw.
10-10 DRAW, 49-48 Mullin overall
Official Scorecard
Judge Wyatt Beougher scored the bout
a Draw, 48-48
Judge Robert Winfree scored the bout in favor of
Patrick Mullin, 49-48
So there you have it - I thought Pat and Todd drew, while Robert scored the bout in favor of Pat. Who do you think won?
Who won MMA Fact or Fiction, 2013.01.09?
Alistair Overeem, Bob Sapp, Mark Hunt, and Kazushi Sakuraba arm wrestling and competing in tug of war contests is far more exciting than anything on the Japanese MMA scene right now.
Todd Vote:
Is there really even much to the Japanese MMA scene right now? Seriously, DREAM is all but finished, what is left over there? 1FC, but they are technically based out of Singapore.
Patrick Mullin:
- All one had to do is watch the New Year's Eve show co-promoted by DREAM & GLORY to see how good the Japanese MMA scene can be. Bibiano Fernandes continued to show his awesome skill set with a big win, K-1 Shinya Aoki put the hurt on Antonio McKee, Melvin Manhoef produced another highlight reel KO over Dennis Kang, Kawajiri went to war with Omigawa, and some excellent kickboxing bouts were provided throughout with stars like Jerome LeBanner, Semmy Schilt, and Daniel Ghita. For my money this was the best MMA show of 2012 and shows like this happen often in Japan. While freakish arm wrestling bouts are fun they're nothing compared to a great MMA card.
Judge Wyatt Beougher's Scorecard:
While Pat veers into Mark Radulich "Obscure Sports Quarterly" territory with his love of Japanese MMA/kickboxing hybrid shows, I'm giving him this round based solely on his enthusiasm for the sport. Personally? I'll take arm wrestling and tug of war any day.
Mullin, 10-9
Judge Robert Winfree's Scorecard:
While I agree in large part with Patrick and the New Year's Eve show, the reality is that was one show. The Japanese MMA scene is pretty barren on the whole.
10-9 Vote

This conversation is closed.
For people who have a hard time answering the question: "Where are you from?"
In Pico Iyer's talk from TEDGlobal 2013, he looks at the complex nature of the question: "Where are you from?" Because while his family originally comes from India, Iyer himself grew up in the United Kingdom. He spent the next 48 years living in the United States. Meanwhile, his heart resides in Japan. He calls these the "pieces of a stained glass self."
As he notes, in our increasingly global world, it's not uncommon to be a half-Korean, half-German woman in love with Paris or a half-Thai, half-French man in Canada.
And so we're curious: what are the pieces of YOUR stained glass whole? Share here and you may see your answers on the TED Blog soon.
I'll share first: I am a half-Italian, half-Polish Jewish-Christian with a Russian last name, who grew up in the Southern United States and now calls herself a New Yorker.

Aug 16 2013: i am made of parts: south african/austrian/slavic/english/welsh/scottish...and more bits....
Ive lived 20 years south africa, 10 in ireland, 3 in new zealand and two in australia many smaller bits in other places....currently in greece then SA then the caribbean...then im buying a boat and really going to start travelling :)...in other words a mix......
Of course i struggle with the question, where are ya from? .... i say south africa, and i hear back: ya cant be, you are white...ish! i say europe, and im told: you cant be, you wernt born here....i say NZ, but in an irish accent hmmmm
Personally i think of all of these places as home....first i am human,and i can call anywhere on this planet home :)
I live by this story:
My mother is from Austria and she was travelling through africa towards south africa....now south africa in the 70's had a very odd (for want of a better way of saying) take on the race issue...
she crossed over to SA from namibia at this lonely dusty borderpost that was nothing more than a boom across the road and a fat old man sitting in his booth surrounded by his forms
Now this form had the usual questions, ie name, age, etc....and being the place and time it was it had the question: RACE: ________
So my mother, the pot-stirrer she is, filled in: HUMAN
Fat borderguard says: No madam, you must put in: WHITE
My mother has fairly-dark skin and after months travel was well tanned
But look! she says: i am BROWN, but besides this, thats not the question on the form! it asks for RACE, and i am HUMAN :)
So this little dialogue goes on for a while, backwards amd forwards, sweaty-borderguard frantically failing to get his point across.....and eventually caving in to LOGIC!
So for me its easy, if i get asked what race i am.....HUMAN, thats it, nothing less, nothing more :)

Pluots, anyone?
August 19, 2008 - Jane Mort
At this time of the year it's not unusual to spot odd fruits and/or vegetables at the local grocery store, and last week was no exception for me.
I happened across some pluots and champagne grapes and bought them for two reasons: I thought the name "pluot" was funny, and I thought the champagne grapes were cute.
I wasn't crazy about the flavor of either of the fruits. The pluots were too tart (even though they are known for their sweetness; mine must not have been ripe enough). The champagne grapes were way too sweet. But I learned a little about the fruits along the way.
The hysterically named pluot (say it really fast five times) is actually a cross between a plum and an apricot and is not to be confused with a plumcot, which also is a cross between a plum an apricot.
What's the difference? The pluot is three-quarters plum and one-quarter apricot, while the plumcot is one-half plum and one-half apricot.
The pluot and the plumcot are not to be confused with the aprium, which is one-quarter plum and three-quarters apricot.
Then there's the aprium, the nectaplum, the nectarot and the peacotum. You can guess what they're made of.
We have some zany fruits scientists like Luther Burbank and Floyd Zaiger to thank for this.
Champagne grapes are an entirely different thing.
No, they are not used to make champagne.
They got their name for other reasons: Some say it's because they are tiny and resemble champagne bubbles; others say it's because they often are used on gourmet tables as decoration and they drape beautifully from champagne flutes or wine glasses.
Champagne grapes are extremely small — about one-fourth of an inch in diameter. The average size of one bunch is the length and width of a hand.
Champagne grapes also are known as Black Corinth grapes, named for the Greek city where they have been grown for more than 2,000 years.
The super sweet grapes can be eaten out of hand, or used in recipes as you would currants.
I can't wait to see what the wacky world of fruits and vegetables comes up with next!

The Phil Fish Saga Part Tres, The Patheticking
Posted on Tuesday, July 30 2013 @ 13:06:13 Eastern
So, just when Phil Fish's particular brand of histrionic self-aggrandizing reached its supposed apex - him running off like a child who cannot take the heat when he lights himself on fire - he doubles down.
Trigger Warning: The following is incredibly pathetic and may make some people regret belonging to the same phylum as Phil Fish. Consult your bartender before proceeding. In the absence of a bartender, make sure something at least as strong as a Scotch and soda high ball is handy.
Is there anything more pathetic than being a pissant, getting called on it, and then running off like a glass-jawed wannabe picking a fight and running at the dawning realization that in a boxing match one may well get hit as likely as throw punches? Yes there is. One can run around pretending to be someone else, and say what a fine boxer that fellow over there was. And that is what Fish did. He did it over at 4Chan.

On the Question of Anita Sarkeesian's Integrity
Posted on Friday, July 19 2013 @ 21:13:23 Eastern
This post is not about the merits of Sarkeesian's thesis, her approach, analytical methods, ideology or content of her arguments. This is purely a question of the ethical character of her work. A considerable portion of her credibility rests upon her academic credentials. With such training she is surely aware of the ethics of citation. She has breached those canons numerous times. More troubling is what those breaches imply about the true nature of her donor funded project.
From the first Sarkeesian's Kickstarter attracted a great deal of attention. Whether one accepts a possible analysis* that she incited the people who harassed her to that harassment (or the even more severe proposition that the money received was only a secondary gain and the harassment was the real reward, the basis for a long-running gig) or not it is clear she was savvy enough to gain from it. First there is the publicity and then the money. The money (over $160,000 - Sarkeesian continued to accept donations after the Kickstarter campaign ended and I have no independently verifiable figure to hand) was enough to pay for every game that might have some relevance to her project and the hardware to run them if she didn't have it already, plus additional equipment to do direct video capture. The research to be done being a major plank for her support, this would all be essential. There was no way to justify even the original six thousand dollars asked for without having this sort of project in view (and it, too, would have sufficed for that goal) and all it required. Among other things, all in-game footage would have to be original to meet the original goals - to show, through direct demonstration and in a scholarly manner that yes, this or that game did or did not contain this or that bit of content. However, we now get to the core of our discussion.
A blogger going by the handle Vicsor, in a post titled Anita's Sources documents that Sarkeesian does not use any originally gathered game footage for any of her TvW videos. Not one. From an academic standpoint this is plagiarism. Presenting the work of others without attribution and passing off the work as one's own is plagiarism. She appropriated the content without the knowledge or consent of its creators. She used it in a fashion which they may not approve. What is far worse is that this explains numerous factual errors pointed out by her legion of destructive critics thus far. She has not done the much talked-about research. She has not done any of it. The most factually-sound claim is that she has done what her attackers said she would - she browsed wikipedia and TV Tropes, mined some content from Let's Play videos, used what she gathered to shout sexism at everything, and called it a day. Vicsor's evidence is irrefutable. It explains all the rational objections raised thus far in the worst possible way. One may now wonder how long it will take for her supporters to either apply special pleading to her defense or turn about and admit their prophet was false. I won't hold my breath.
* It is not appropriate to present the facts and reasoning which support the claim. It is enough to say that there is a body of evidence to suggest that Sarkeesian (or a supporter of hers pretending to be her) spammed the /v/ board on 4Chan with announcements of her Kickstarter at launch to incite a harassment campaign. The reaction was predictable given the norms of 4Chan's community, particularly as regards spamming content.

An Open Letter to Peter Moore
Posted on Wednesday, April 10 2013 @ 10:47:53 Eastern
This member blog post was promoted to the GameRevolution homepage.
"In the past year, we have received thousands of emails and postcards protesting against EA for allowing players to create LGBT characters in our games. This week, we're seeing posts on conservative web sites urging people to protest our LGBT policy by voting EA the Worst Company in America."
Do you have any evidence whatsoever to validate this claim? The Consumerist has flat-out refuted your claim and called you on it. If you can't prove it, I suggest you walk this one back. If you don't, you're an even bigger liar than everyone thought. At the very least it's noteworthy how utterly craven it is to use something like LGBT rights issues and anti-discriminatory attitudes as a beard to protect you from criticism.

Critical Essay by Robin Riley Fast
SOURCE: "Structure and Meaning in Whitman's Sea-Drift," in American Transcendental Quarterly, Vol. 53, No. 53, Winter, 1982, pp. 49-66.
In the following essay, Fast examines Whitman's Sea-Drift poems as a whole, focusing on how their organization within the larger Leaves of Grass helps to develop the overall themes of self-exploration and the promise of transcendence.
Criticism of Whitman's Sea-Drift sequence has been almost entirely limited to analyses of "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking" and "As I Ebb'd with the Ocean of Life." Although many critics have commented on the contrasts between these two poems, none has thoroughly examined Sea-Drift as a whole. Instead, critics have noted the presence of sea imagery,1 or have made general statements about themes...
