JARAGUA DO SU, SANTA CATARINA, Brazil -- In a battle of technical strikers, Lyoto Machida (21-4) outpointed Gegard Mousasi (34-4-2) and may soon challenge for the UFC's middleweight title.
Machida's five-round win over Mousasi served as the main event of Saturday's "UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Mousasi" event, in Jaragua do Su, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Machida, a former UFC light heavyweight champion, was the faster fighter from the start, darting in and out of range while delivering rapid-fire punches and a few impressive high kicks. The patient Mousasi began to increase his pressure as the fight wore on, but he struggled to pin down the elusive Machida and consistently found it impossible to hit the target.
Mousasi was never out of the fight, and his power punches left him as a danger through all 25 minutes of the bout, but Machida simply proved to be a little too fast and too tricky, and was awarded a unanimous-decision win with scores of 49-46, 50-45 and 50-45.
"I always want to score a knockout or a submission," Machida said after the win. "Mousasi is a hard fighter, and every detail makes difference. I'm already thinking about the belt, but this is something UFC has to decide."
In the night's co-feature, Brazilian submission ace Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza (20-3) won his third consecutive UFC fight with an impressive decision win over Francis Carmont (22-8), a transplanted Frenchman who trains at Montreal's Tristar Gym.
Souza, a former Strikeforce champion who now has his eye on UFC gold, controlled the action from the start, taking the fight to the floor and keeping the superior position throughout much of the 15-minute fight. Carmont displayed ample defensive skills, shrugging off multiple submission attempts in hopes of mounting a counterattack. However, he was never able to shake free and find the space he needed to operate, and Souza cruised to the decision win.
Afterward, the top-ranked Souza called for a title shot but insisted he'll keep knocking off fellow contenders if necessary to get there.
"I want the champ," Souza said through a translator. "I want whoever has the belt. And if the UFC doesn't think I'm ready for that, just put anyone ahead of me and I'll get over them."
In additional main-card action, Brazilian welterweight Erick Silva (16-4) made quick work of late replacement Takenori Sato (17-9-7). The 29-year-old Silva needed just 52 seconds to dispatch of his overmatched opponent, stopping an early takedown and then unloading a barrage of massive punches as Sato refused to let go of a single-leg attempt.
Silva, long considered a top prospect at 170 pounds, said his surprising loss to Dong Hyun Kim this past October served as motivation for the spectacular performance.
"I needed a win, but at no point did I feel pressured," Silva said. "Losing my last fight served as motivation, not as pressure. I trained very hard, and it was the best camp of my life. I was the first to arrive in the gym and the last one to leave.
"I was very hungry for the win. The result couldn't have been different."
Brazilian welterweight Viscardi Andrade nearly earned a first-round knockout win over Swedish fighter Nicholas Musoke (12-2). Instead, he left the octagon with a loss by decision.
In the first round, Andrade delivered a crushing right hand that sent Musoke to the floor. But Andrade celebrated too soon, raising his hands in the air rather than pushing forward to seal the result. Musoke somehow recovered from the thunderous blow and seized momentum back for the rest of the contest, using technical striking and superior grappling to claims rounds two and three on the judges' scorecards and taking home a unanimous decision, 29-28 on all three cards.
"It's never the plan to get hit that hard in the beginning," Musoke said. "All in all, happy with the win, but not at all with my performance, especially with the way the fight started. I knew he'd come out hard, although I did think I'd be able to avoid his punches a bit better."
In the night's first main-card contest, Brazilian featherweight Charles Oliveira earned a third-round submission win over Englishman Andy Ogle.
At the evening's post-event news conference, Machida and Mousasi were each awarded $50,000 for the evening's "Fight of the Night" bonus. Meanwhile, Silva and Oliveira each earned $50,000 bonuses in the UFC's new "Performance Bonus" awards, which replace the long-customary "Knockout of the Night" and "Submission of the Night" awards.
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...

A historic South Bend beer is returning and the investor is offering the first taste before it hits the market.
In a matter of months Drewrys Draft Beer will be available at 100 bars on tap around Michiana.
It's hard to believe for the developer and public relations firm that wanted to revive the beer company back in January with just an idea. Now however they found a plant in Milwaukee to brew it and eventually bottle it.
Before that happens though people can taste and evaluate the beer at the Century Center on August 24th. It's called the 1st Taste of Drewrys.
Many around Michiana are familiar with the name after its place in South Bend until it closed back in the 70's.
"One thing we've discovered since is that so many people are excited since our launch that many people are coming forward, sharing their stories," says Drewrys spokesperson Dan Blackharski from Ugly Dog Media. "Everybody has their story where they remember something about working there or their grandmother or grandfather that used to work there."
Once Drewrys is established at bars, it will be sold at retail stores.

Cosmetic Procedures
Over time, our skin loses its youthful contour and radiance: it wrinkles, it sags, it becomes lined and sun-damaged. But you don't have to live with aging, damaged skin!
Laub Dermatology offers a variety of non-invasive procedures to counteract the effects of aging, including BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport™ and injectable fillers such as Radiesse®, Juvéderm® and Restylane® to smooth lines and wrinkles and plump up sunken areas; Dual Fraxel® laser, chemical peels and IPL Photofacials to reduce blemishes and scarring and produce fresh, glowing skin; Thermage™ for skin tightening; and sclerotherapy & laser treatments for the reduction of facial and leg veins.
Make sure to ask us about our Aesthetic Savings Plan!
BOTOX® Cosmetic / Dysport®
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes, forehead and mouth to smooth lines and wrinkles. Made from a purified protein, BOTOX® injections relax the muscles responsible for wrinkles to give the face a rejuvenated look.
Indications for BOTOX® include:
- Frown Lines
- Crow's Feet
- Forehead Furrows
- Want to:
- Raise The Eyebrows
- Turn Up Corners of The Mouth
- Perioral Lines
- Neck Bands
- Excessive Sweating (Hyperhydrosis)
Laub Dermatology is recognized as a national training center for BOTOX®. Dr. Laub has been named the #1 provider of BOTOX® in Marin County during the last two years by Allergan. Dr. Laub is among the most experienced physicians when it comes to BOTOX® treatments and has helped pioneer these techniques over the past 15 years.
Dysport is an FDA-approved injection treatment used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles in the forehead. Similar to BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport is injected directly into the site of wrinkles to prevent the underlying muscles from contracting. Dysport injections are made from the bacterium Clostridum botulinum, the same protein used in Botox injections.
Dysport was developed in Europe during the early 1990s, and has been used there successfully for several years. In April 2009, Dysport was approved by the FDA for use in the US, and is expected to rival Botox, the most popular cosmetic procedure, with its convenience and long-lasting results.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels exfoliate the damaged outer layers of skin on the face to reveal the healthy, glowing skin beneath. They smooth texture, reduce scarring, and remove blemishes and pre-cancerous growths. Dr. Laub tailors peel formulas and strengths to each patient for optimal results.

Facial Fillers
Aging and sun exposure diminishes the volume and elasticity in our faces. Facial fillers replenish the skin's collagen support structure, smooth lines and fill indentations, producing a fresher, more youthful look. Many facial fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which are part of the natural support structure of the skin.
Indications for fillers include:
- Glabellar Lines (Between the Eyebrows)
- Nasolabial Folds (From the Root of the Nose to the Angle of Your Mouth)
- Dark Circles and Hollows Beneath the Eyes
- Thinning Lips & Lip Lines
- Contouring Sunken Cheeks and Chins
- Restoring a Youthful Oval Shape to the Face
The latest tissue fillers include: Belotero® Restylane-L®, Juvéderm®, Juvéderm Voluma™ XC, Perlane-L™, and Radiesse®. Depending on the types of wrinkles or scars, we can discuss the best filler options for you.
Belotero® – Belotero is the latest, most advanced form of dermal filler available today. It has a unique ability to integrate with the tissues of your skin, providing volume and a more youthful shape to your face. Belotero can reduce lines and wrinkles while enhancing your own facial contours.
Juvéderm XC® – The newest hyaluronic acid available. There is no pre-testing required, and it works well for fine lines.
Juvéderm Voluma™ XC – Juvéderm Voluma™ XC injectable gel is the first and only filler FDA-approved to instantly add volume to the cheek area. It gives you a subtle lift, helping to restore contour and a more youthful profile, for up to 2 years, in patients over the age of 21.
Restylane-L® - Restylane-L® is a clear, synthetic gel made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found throughout your body. It carries little risk of allergic reaction. With its unique ability to bind with water, Restylane remains in your skin longer than collagen implants.
Perlane-L™ - Perlane-L™ is an injectable filler used to treat deep facial lines, augment the lips and contour the cheeks and chin. It is made by Medicis. We are now using fillers to successfully lift the face.
Radiesse™ - Radiesse™ is a synthetic injectable filler that reduces wrinkles, creases and scars by augmenting the body's natural collagen supply. Composed of microspheres in a biocompatible gel, Radiesse is made from calcium hydroxyl apatite.
IPL Photofacial
Photofacial is a non-abrasive and non-invasive rejuvenation of your skin using the remarkable new technology of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Laub Dermatology has StarLux®, the newest and most advanced IPL available. IPL Photofacials can improve the signs of:
- Sun Damage
- Rosacea
- Brown Spots
- Mild Acne Scars
- Dark Circles around the Eyes
- Fine Lines around the Eyes and Mouth
The IPL Photofacial handpiece is gently pressed to the skin and painless pulses of light are emitted. Usually 3-5 treatment sessions lasting about 30 minutes each will provide you with beautiful results.
There is no recuperation time – with an IPL Photofacial you can return to work or resume your normal activities on the same day. You will notice a gradual, natural-looking improvement in your skin with time. IPL is a safe solution tailor-made to your skin type and condition.
Sclerotherapy is the standard treatment for varicose and spider veins. A special sclerosing solution is injected into the dilated vein, which then collapses and is gradually absorbed by the body. By the end of the treatment program, the veins are less visible on the skin surface. This treatment requires 2-4 visits to provide optimal results. Sclerotherapy usually also relieves symptoms associated with enlarged veins and prevents further complications.
Thermage® Total Tip
Thermage® is a highly advanced, non-invasive procedure for tightening and smoothing the skin. The latest form of this treatment, known as Thermage Total Tip, is now available for patients seeking effective, fast results on the skin of the face, neck and other parts of the body. Total Tip will safely deliver up to twice the heating volume of earlier versions of Thermage, producing immediate, exceptional improvements to the skin in patients of all ages and skin types.
The Thermage procedure uses a unique form of radiofrequency energy that can enhance the skin's firmness, tone and texture and provide a better contour. This results in a noticeable tightening, similar to that of a lift, but without an incision or recovery time. With the gentle touch of the device tip, the surface of the skin is cooled while the deeper tissue is altered by the radiofrequency heating. This stimulates new collagen production to provide dramatic rejuvenation that appears quickly yet is long-lasting.
Thermage Total Tip is very effective for patients with a moderate amount of sagging skin and wrinkles. Minimal redness is seen in some patients after the procedure, but it usually disappears within an hour. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately following a treatment. The results are typically noticeable for at least six months and in some cases will last for several years.

The piece points out two serious problems with the IRS's recent guidance for same-sex couples. It highlights how same-sex couples in evasive marriages will need to pay for expensive legal advice to determine if they are married for federal tax purposes.

I need a nap, but I live next to the highway and it's rush hour in Denver… meaning someone is laying on their horn every 30 seconds.
Also, my roommate's college bff is here… Picture a big midwestern state university. Think of the quintessential male student. Times two. Minus their accents. I've mentioned before how I can't understand my roommate, even though he was raised 4 hours away from me. Well, his friend is even worse. I'm not sure what his name is. It might be Troy, maybe Trey, or Torrey, or Terry… OPEN YOUR MOUTHS YOU MOTHERFUCKERS, YOU WERE RAISED IN CORNFIELDS, NOT WITH BOOMHAUER.
It is Thursday evening and they are here watching some sport on tv and making a dent in their stockpile of beer.
Why come to Denver if you're going to do the same thing you could back home?
He will be here for a week.
Thank goodness I have J Babes to distract me, tonight at least. Also, I like how JB, who grew up in the south, is easier to understand than someone from a state that borders mine. Maybe because JB actually opens his mouth all the way when he talks.

How does one tackle such a taboo subject matter as sex addiction without coming off as exploitative? Apparently Steve McQueen has the answer, and considering all the praise his most recent film Shame has gotten, the critics seem to agree. Shame, a story about a man suffering from sex addiction whose world is disturbed by the arrival of his estranged struggling artist sister, Sissy (Carey Mulligan), reunites McQueen with Michael Fassbender, whom he worked with in 2008's Hunger.
Fassbender plays Brandon, whose addiction is so severe that it encompasses everything in his life. At work, his computer has to be confiscated and cleaned out because it is filled with porn of the vilest sort. When he's not jerking himself off in the shower, he goes on online sexcapades via webcam, or calling prostitute after prostitute in one night. After his sister crashes at his apartment, he finds his personal space invaded in more ways than one. Finding it difficult to satisfy his urges with his sister in the same room, Brandon tries the old-fashioned approach at getting intimate: he asks out a coworker, Maria, who he has been eyeing for a while but, interestingly enough, never approached. Maria and he hit it off, but for Brandon this is unfamiliar territory, and he is thoroughly uncomfortable about the spontaneity and self-consciousness of it all; so much so that he can't even get aroused when he and Maria have sex. Despite having bedded many women, Brandon is a relationship virgin, and although viewers such as myself would love to know what traumatic experience led Brandon down this road, we are never privy to his emotional baggage.
The film is as bare and hollow as its main character, with little dialogue and none of the flashy visual stylings of its artsier peers. It's clear within the first half of the film that both Brandon and Sissy have emotional problems, however the root of that is never explored in the film. In fact, McQueen and co-scribe Abi Morgan seem to have gone out of their way to strip the film out of all back story, leaving the audience guessing about where these emotional issues come from. While this storytelling device worked in the sense that it mirrored Brandon's lack of intimacy with everyone, I personally found it difficult to relate to any of the characters. And perhaps that was the point, however it dulled the film's climax a bit for me.
Big cities can be brutal and unforgiving, especially New York. Amid all the hustle and bustle of Wall Street and Times Square, meaningful connections can be hard to come by or maintain. I had expected there to be a little bit more of this type of theme, or at least perhaps just visually captured, especially after seeing Carey Mulligan's character Sissy perform the melancholy "New York, New York". The song was performed in such a way that it was easy to discern it as a cry for help rather than a couple minutes worth of bluesy entertainment at a posh New York lounge.
Michael Fassbender's performance, as expected, was well done. He was raw and uninhibited, and for those 100 minutes he was that troubled guy consumed by his addiction. I liked that although there was a great deal of graphic nudity, it never felt sexy or erotic. It felt invasive, inappropriate and dirty - shameful, to be exact. Carey Mulligan's Sissy was frenetic and all over the place, the complete opposite to her brother's self-contained turmoil. She delivered a commendable performance that would have been pitch perfect if it was delivered with a little more careless abandon.
Overall, I thought the film was well done in terms of editing and performance, however I felt like it needed a bit more meat (pun intended) in the story. Because sex addiction is rarely depicted on screen (unless you count Californication, which I don't), I felt that the audience needed a little bit more of a hand (wink, wink) to be able to understand it as a sickness not unlike any other addiction. I also liked some of the insightful, thought-provoking moments in the film, such as the instance where Brandon's boss, David (played by James Badge Dale), says that it takes a sick person to have so much porn stored in their computer, while just having cheated on his wife the night before. It was almost a commentary on how it seems almost socially acceptable to cheat on your spouse or lover but somehow pornography, which is usually something people engage with in solitude, still has the bigger stigma.
Since we were deprived of whatever back story these characters may have had, it was difficult to emotionally invest in the film. In hindsight this makes sense, because it made me as a viewer feel as though the main characters were holding me at arms length, never feeling comfortable enough to ever get too intimate. While I probably wouldn't watch the film again, I thought it was interesting, and from a filmmaking perspective, daring and provocative.

One such scenario, I can relay from experience. You're standing in line at a super-market, your phone begins ringing - which for some reason is louder than usual. You fiddle around with it frantically, and either the UI or the phone itself lags, totally inundated with your rapid button-pushes. All the while, you manage to stress yourself out while annoying everyone around you. In my particular experience, I had to resort to pulling the battery out - something not possible on all devices.
I'm sure I'm not alone with that experience, so something clearly has to be done. Well, believe it or not, one good solution does exist - although just in idea form at this point. In a just-published patent, we gain insight into Microsoft's plans to allow us to whack our phones in order to quiet them.
It's humorous to think about, but this simple idea is, in my mind, rather brilliant. If this feature existed on my phone during the experience mentioned above, the stress-fest could have ended earlier.
As images of me hurling a phone towards a wall to shut it up goes through my overly-active imagination, I should mention that surfaces aren't required for a "whack" response to trigger. Instead, it seems a simple yet swift tap to the front of the phone will be enough.
I do question Microsoft's decision to require a whack over a simple shake, however, as it seems more likely someone would knock a phone out of their hand as the result of a swift tap. What is nice about this idea is that it doesn't require special hardware, so we're likely to see knock-off ideas come to us in the form of apps that skirt the patent just enough to remain safe.
Whatever the solution, though, anything that removes the chance of the situation I outlined above from happening will be wholeheartedly welcomed by me.

"I do question Microsoft's decision to require a whack over a simple shake,"
MS uses the shake to slowly reduce the volume of the ring. Its difficult to shake a phone while its in the pocket of your trousers, but very easy to just give is a short sharp wack/tap.
Flipping the phone over (screen down) silences the phone, a feature that android has since adopted.
I guess if they can't shake a phone in their pocket their pants are too tight.
How about breathing heavily into it to make it shut up.
Call it the Romeo switch.
Doh, I never considered the phone being in the pants, hence the tap. My experience has forever scarred me, I suppose.
@realneil, Haha. I thought someone should make an app that requires you to yell, "SHUT UP!!" and it mute it for you. That might not look work so good in public, though - especially if it's your pants you're shouting at.
"I do question Microsoft's decision to require a whack over a simple shake"
Reason: Because unfortunately, the question would pop up "Is that a phone in your pocket, or are you just happy to SEE me?"
I would love to just "whack" the owner of a phone sometimes. Now if only that would turn off their device... could I patent that?? :P
You could call it the "Sledgehammer App",........................it could come with bandages and antibiotic cream too.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
An arrest is the act of depriving a person of his or her liberty usually in relation to the purported investigation or prevention of crime and presenting (the arrestee) to a procedure as part of the criminal justice system. The term is Anglo-Norman in origin and is related to the French word arrêt, meaning "stop".
Arrest, when used in its ordinary and natural sense, means the apprehension of a person or the deprivation of a person's liberty. The question whether the person is under arrest or not depends not on the legality of the arrest, but on whether the person has been deprived of personal liberty of movement. When used in the legal sense in the procedure connected with criminal offences, an arrest consists in the taking into custody of another person under authority empowered by law, to be held or detained to answer a criminal charge or to prevent the commission of a criminal or further offence. The essential elements to constitute an arrest in the above sense are that there must be an intent to arrest under the authority, accompanied by a seizure or detention of the person in the manner known to law, which is so understood by the person arrested
Police and various other bodies have powers of arrest. In some places, the power is more general; for example in England and Wales—with the notable exception of the Monarch, the head of state—any person can arrest "anyone whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be committing, have committed or be guilty of committing an indictable offence", although certain conditions must be met before taking such action.[1]
Article 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that, "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile."
|This section requires expansion. (August 2010)
The word "Arrest" is Anglo-Norman in origin, derived from the French word arrêt meaning 'to stop or stay' and signifies a restraint of a person. Lexicologically, the meaning of the word arrest is given in various dictionaries depending upon the circumstances in which word is used. There are numerous slang terms for being arrested throughout the world. In British slang terminology, the term "nicked" is often synonymous with being arrested, and "nick" can also refer to a police station, and the term "pinched" is also common.[2] In the United States and France the term "collared" is sometimes used.[3] The term "lifted" is also heard on occasion.[4]
|This section requires expansion. (April 2013)
According to Indian law, no formality is needed during the procedure of arrest.[5] The arrest can be made by a citizen, a police officer or a Magistrate. The police officer needs to inform the person being arrested the full particulars of the person's offence and that he is entitled to be released on bail if the offence fits the criteria for being bailable.[6]
When there exists probable cause to believe that a person has committed a minor or serious crime, the police typically handcuff an arrested person, who will be held in a police station or jail pending a judicial bail determination or an arraignment.
In 2010, the FBI estimated that law enforcement agencies made 13,120,947 arrests (excluding traffic violations). Of those persons arrested, 74.5% were male and 69.4 percent of all persons arrested were white, 28.0 percent were black, and the remaining 2.6 percent were of other races.[7]
Arrests under English law fall into two general categories - with and without a warrant - and then into more specific subcategories. Regardless of what power a person is arrested under, they must be informed:[8]
otherwise, the arrest is unlawful.[8] An arrest is still lawful even if the subject escapes custody before the fact he/she is not under arrest and the grounds can be explained to him.
A justice of the peace can issue warrants to arrest suspects and witnesses.
There are four subcategories of arrest without warrant:
United States law recognizes the common law arrest under various jurisdictions.[9]
In the United Kingdom a person must be told that he is under arrest,[10] and "told in simple, non-technical language that he could understand, the essential legal and factual grounds for his arrest".[11] A person must be 'cautioned' when being arrested or subject to a criminal prosecution procedure, unless this is impractical due to the behaviour of the arrestee (for example, violence or drunkenness). The caution required in England and Wales states:
"You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."[12]
Deviation from this accepted form is permitted provided that the same information is conveyed.
A Miranda warning is required only when a person has been taken into custody (i.e. is not free to leave) and is being interrogated, and the results of this interrogation are to be used in court. This warning tells the detainee that they have the right to be silent, the right to have counsel present during questioning, and warns them that whatever they say can and will be used against them. Based on Miranda v. Arizona, police now must inform the detainee of his Miranda Rights. Thus if one is interrogated over the phone, the Miranda rights do not apply.[citation needed]
"You have the right to remain silent when questioned. Anything you say or do may be used against you in a court of law. (Modern readings have can and will in place of may) You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning, if you wish. If you decide to answer any questions now, without an attorney present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?"
Breach of a court order can be civil contempt of court, and a warrant for the person's arrest may be issued. Some court orders contain authority for a police officer to make an arrest without further order.
If a legislature lacks a quorum, many jurisdictions allow the members present the power to order a call of the house, which orders the arrest of the members who are not present. A member arrested is brought to the body's chamber to achieve a quorum. The member arrested does not face prosecution, but may be required to pay a fine to the legislative body.
While an arrest will not necessarily lead to a criminal conviction, it may nonetheless in some jurisdictions have serious ramifications such as absence from work, social stigma, and in some cases, the legal obligation to disclose a conviction when a person applies for a job, a loan or a professional license. In the United States, a person who was not found guilty after an arrest can remove his arrest record through an expungement or (in California) a finding of factual innocence. Of course, there are times when an arrest can be wrongful, and the charges are sometimes dropped right afterwards; the cleared person then has the choice to file a complaint or a lawsuit if he or she chooses to. Legal action is sometimes filed against the government after a wrongful arrest.[citation needed]
For convictions, the collateral consequences are more severe in the United States than in the UK, where arrests without conviction do not appear in standard criminal record checks and need not be disclosed, whereas in the United States, people have to expunge or (if the case goes to court) seal arrest without convictions, or if the charges are dropped. However, in the UK, 'Enhanced' CRB disclosures permit a Chief Constable to disclose this data if they believe it relevant to the post for which the CRB disclosure was applied for.[citation needed]

Your TTC Strategy 9: Understand Pregnancy Loss
What you should know in advance about ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage
Pregnancy Loss Resources
When parents hear the heartbreaking news that their baby has died before being born, their grief can be overwhelming. In a few brief moments, they go from happy anticipation of their baby's birth to the intense pain of confronting his death.
When fetal death occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy but before delivery, it is called stillbirth or intrauterine fetal demise. These tragic deaths occur in about one in 200 pregnancies. A small number of stillbirths occur during labor and delivery.
There are a diverse range of conditions associated with stillbirth including infection, congenital abnormalities, Rh incompatibility, umbilical cord accidents, placenta problems, and difficulties with vaginal delivery.
The pregnant woman may suspect that something is wrong if the fetus suddenly stops moving around and kicking, there is spotting or bleeding, or there is intense abdominal pain.
Stillbirth is very difficult for parents and other family members. It is sometimes harder than a miscarriage because it happens later in pregnancy when the fetus has developed and the mother has felt movement. Often, the fetus is fully formed and is delivered just as any baby. It may be very hard emotionally for a woman to go through labor, yet not have a baby to take home. Counseling is important for all parents with a stillbirth to help them understand their feelings and begin the work of grieving.
(Read more about deciphering stillbirth here.)
It is hard to trust again; it is hard to hope again. While there are not always answers as to why pregnancy loss has occurred, it is important to remember that pregnancy loss is not your fault and very likely will not happen again.
We hope you find comfort, support, and information in the following resources:

Welcome to my website! I welcome you to my website and I can only hope that this will help clarify your thoughts and dispel some myths regarding Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. This beautiful and ancient medicine has been alive for over 2,000 years and it has started to earn the respect it deserves as more and more people search out a natural and gentle approach to their health and well-being.

I found my fulfillment in studying Chinese Medicine and pursuing a profession which has truly taught me an incredible wealth of knowledge and sensitivity to the human condition. Chinese Medicine pays attention to subtle yet important changes in the body. This diagnostic ability corrects the imbalance long before the symptoms advance to severe illness. Please feel free to browse around and email me with any questions you might have. Thanks, Patti Weissler, RN, Acupuncturist and certified sports medicine specialist

Jeff Teague led Atlanta with 27. Brandon Jennings topped Milwaukee with 21 while Larry Sanders added 19 points and 14 rebounds. The Bucks shot just 37% from the floor with Monta Ellis really struggling, hitting only 2 of 11 shots. The Bucks (34-33) travel to Indiana to meet the division leading Pacers Friday night.

In recent months, Florida politicians have turned away millions of federal dollars meant for Floridians in need.
There was money for the disabled.
For the elderly who can't afford medicine.
Even for dying children who need help from hospice.
In each and every case, the money was there — paid in part by Florida taxpayers.
But Florida Republicans turned it down, claiming they didn't want anything to do with "Obamacare."
How very convenient for them and their subsidized health-care plans.
When you're getting taxpayers to underwrite your $8-a-month insurance policy, the life-and-death woes of the commoners probably seem far removed.
Turning down this money didn't save you a single cent.
Other states were ready to take the money. Even other conservative leaders who opposed to the Affordable Care Act couldn't be so callous as to reject ready money for constituents in need.
So Florida continues to send more money to Washington than it gets back … with the blessing of Gov. Rick Scott and House Speaker Dean Cannon.
Except this story gets more interesting.
Because it turns out, Florida didn't turn down all of the money authorized by the Affordable Care Act.
While Florida Republicans turned down, gave back or refused to apply for more than $50 million in funds, they did accept $2 million …. to promote abstinence.
Talk about selective principles.
Personally, I support abstinence education as part of comprehensive teaching.
But I also support comforting dying children during their final days … and helping the elderly infirm live in their own homes in dignity.
So I asked Cannon and other politicians — such as State Rep. Mike Horner, who once claimed it wouldn't be "appropriate" to take money for the elderly poor from the Affordable Care Act — why it was OK to take money for abstinence.
Both said it was because the abstinence money didn't come from that nasty old Obamacare bill itself, but rather "a rider" to the bill.
I bet some of those dying kids wish their funds had been a "rider," as well.

good product
Comments about GBC® Round Lanyards w/Bulldog Clips:
These lanyards are great multi-purpose for name tags, ID's, or anything else that needs to be worn. The bulldog clip is strong & easy to use. Plenty long enough to go over the head without getting tangled in hair. Can be worn by kids or adults.
Lanyard with Bulldog Clip
Comments about GBC® Round Lanyards w/Bulldog Clips:
These are very useful in so many ways. These lanyards were bought because of the value and quantity in which I was able to get them. We utilize them in touring and credentials. They get a lot of use and have maintained a high level of quality, in that they have not frayed or caused snags to clothing.
The ciip also seems to maintain its functionality over extended periods of time. The fact that you can get 12 per pack is a big drawing card for me to purchase these lanyards. The price point is great…and when you are in need of large quantities of these items, this is the item to buy.
Does the job
Comments about GBC® Round Lanyards w/Bulldog Clips:
I've had to purchase about 100 of these in the last 6 months for various events. They work as intended. I only wish they were packaged in the same quantity as the badge holders themselves.
Lanyards with clips
Comments about GBC® Round Lanyards w/Bulldog Clips:
These lanyards are perfect for an ID holder. They are the perfect length and come with a clip already included. I don't know who came up with this idea but never had something more convienent the pack comes with 12 and are perfect for me as an employer to give these out to my employees. Perfect random gift for office use. These lanyards also last very long. I have had the same one for a little more than a year and it still hasent unthreaded. For a daily use of these lanyards the are very long lasting, cheap, and very recommended to any one.
Love the Lanyard!
Comments about GBC® Round Lanyards w/Bulldog Clips:
I like the Lanyard very much. It has been a big help in holding my I.D. Badge for the Local Rescue Squad that I am a member of. I have given some of the Lanyards to others members in the Squad to help hold their I.D. Badges as well. (They have expressed how they like the Lanyard as well.) It has a good length to it so it does not bother me. When I need to I am able to through it around my back when I am on certain Calls. It is convent for me to hang around my Rear view mirror or around a door knob when I am waiting on my next medical.

Rosa Regale Sweet Red Sparkling Wine from Banfi Wines
Faith's Daily Find 02.14.14
Rosa Regale Sweet Red Sparkling Wine from Banfi Wines
• $19.99
Our assistant editor Ariel was smitten by this sweet, fun wine last week. She says:
This sparkling red wine from Banfi has totally got me in the mood for Valentine's Day. It's slightly sweet, bubbly, and pairs well with chocolate. What more could you want?
4 Comments
Turns out they sell it in my favorite grocery store. Might just get a bottle tonight.
@Dragynphyre yeah! That's one thing I like about this wine too; it's easy to find (and actually even cheaper here than the list price I have above).
One of the most perfect pairings with rich chocolate I've ever had. I love this wine, and the fact that World Market now carries small bottles of it, perfect for two to enjoy with dessert.
This is one of my favorite wines for pairing with chocolate, as maddhatter said. So delicious. I taught a chocolate terrine class last Sunday and asked that the wine purveyor get some bottles of Rosa Regale to go along with it. Perfect!

Spring brought us both to the North & the South of home.
Spring held a spark that shook off the dust & calm of winter, whether we were ready for it or not.
I often have a hard time moving my gaze from that quiet jewel.
But this spring especially held an energy that was as likely to uproot you to sudden beguiling pipe dreams as it was to stub your toe and lose sight of the baby rolling off the bed . (..she was ok) !
Spring held extra road trips, flat wallets, Joshua Trees, turtle doves & elderflowers in Los Angeles, bitter chocolates & home made Easter on Orcas Island, maiden voyaging as a family of five . .
In the mythical environs of children, all time is so fertile, so my muse transfigured and stepped back these past years.
But now the ole bird has returned, and new writing is on the wing.
Even the shapes of a new album are appearing on the horizon.. !
And in the meanwhile, we are travelling north again this month of JUNE,
as the days get longer and bedtimes get later and later.
It's a lot of shimmering warmth for this peak-of-summer trip:

The species of Origin
Red Hat open sources its PaaS Openshift - welcome OpenShift Origin
Red Hat have indeed lived up to their open source pledge from a month ago, announcing the release of OpenShift Origin, the open source codebase for their Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).
The move marks a seminal moment in the history of Red Hat's PaaS, a little over a year since OpenShift emerged at Red Hat Summit as a service that ran on top of Amazon's EC2. A quick change of pace established OpenShift as an enticing enterprise option amongst the flurry of cloud platforms, defining its merits against the others quickly.
Unsurprisingly, this was down to its openness and friendliness to developer communities - links to other services like MongoDB and Node.js helped, as did the support for applications written in PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python and Java. Its three different options of OpenShift Express, Flex and Power (before a recent unification occurred tying them all together) allowed enterprises to select the plaftorm most relevant for them, giving a 'pick and choose' element for a variety of technologies.
Friends within JBoss helped make OpenShift the first PaaS to offer JavaEE 6 integration with JBoss Tools and other Eclipse-based IDEs, as well as offering Maven and Jenkins options alongside this.
It wasn't exactly surprising that OpenShift took off with its all-encompassing nature and the community grew from there. This initiative to give something back should cement an already strong group of developers behind the project and now is certainly the right time to go fully open source. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that a closed source project doesn't gain traction in today's environment, as VMware's Cloud Foundry are also showing at the moment.
Some may be surprised by Red Hat's decision to open up OpenShift entirely, but the specs show the entire stack is there.
In the announcement, the team behind OpenShift noted that 'Origin is intended to serve as the upstream for code and enhancements for Red Hat's OpenShift PaaS service' (following the Fedora model closely) but this gesture was much more than that. Taking inspiration from JBoss and the Apache Software Foundation, Origin is set to be a 'meritocratic community project' cut free from developer affiilation and vendors, with a community process detailed. The codebase is also licensed under the Apache License, v2 which will help its cause.
This is especially encouraging as OpenShift realise that vendor lock-in or perceived vendor control can be particularly damaging to an open source initiative.
The project will use GitHub as its code repository, with support like bug trackers provided by Red Hat. Interested in Origin? Why not check out this Get Involved page to join the community. This post by OpenShift Evangelist Mark Atwood helps you get started by outling the different components of OpenShift and how to get them running. There's also this informative post on the differences between OpenShift Origin and OpenStack.

Jim Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: CELG CRM ATHN LULU LMT GIVN (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
(Updates from 10:56 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Monday.
Cantor Fitzgerald raised its price target on Celgene (CELG). Cramer said it appears to be cheap based on 2015 earnings and the products "just keep doing better and better." CELG rose 2.2% to $170.01.
Cramer said "cloud stocks have stalled" at current levels, but said he continues to like Salesforce.com (CRM) despite it being removed from Deutsche Bank's short-term buy list. CRM was flat at $53.68.JPMorgan initiated AthenaHealth (ATHN) as a buy. "I think the stock goes higher," Cramer opined. The heavily shorted stock has been consistently reporting blowout quarters, he added. ATHN rose 1% to $133.04. Canaccord says to buy Lululemon Athletica (LULU) ahead of its earnings report scheduled for later this week. Cramer disagreed, saying, "I don't like these kinds of calls unless you absolutely know the number." LULU was up 1% to $70.34. Bernstein likes Lockheed Martin (LMT) Cramer thinks the stock "goes higher" despite the continued uncertainty about the federal budget. LMT was unchanged at $138.93.
Given Imaging (GIVN) is "another company I like very much," Cramer said. The company is in the gastrointestinal diagnostics industry, which has been "very, very hot," he added. GIVN zoomed 27.1% to $30.06.

Six months after initially applying, being interviewed, passed over and with multiple follow-ups, I received a brief email that began "I appreciate your tenacity regarding the job at XXXX."
She paid me a high compliment considering for many years of my life I really had no idea what tenacity was.
tenacity (noun)
1. the quality or fact of being able to grip something firmly; grip.
2. the quality or fact of being very determined; determination.
3. the quality or fact of continuing to exist, persistence.
I can recall vividly the lack of tenacity I showed in school, in sports, and in relationships. I wanted to get the most, from the least. When I encountered resistance and disappointment, I tended to pivot and move on. It wasn't that I didn't try, but rather I didn't persevere. Only once I started to learn what I wanted in life, that I started to develop tenacity.
Looking back I can recognize the signs of my developing resolution.
1. When a child is born, you become devoted in a new way to this new life that depends on you. I recall so many nights spending hours walking around my house, singing, rocking and soothing infants who refused to sleep when the rest of the world did. They pushed me to my very edge, but I was determined to never give up.
2. Owning an art gallery is a noble endeavour, but not one you typically enter to seek riches. Many an entrepreneur would have called it a day in the face of our struggles sourcing, securing, and selling, but I steadfastly labored for 12 years to continue our mission to represent the best of African art.
3. Despite taking 3-4 years to recognize I wanted to get married, I naively thought I meant those words for life. The early years are relatively easy when everything is new, fresh, and the whole exciting world is ahead of you. When faced with rejection, disappointment, and life's inevitable grind, it is only then when you recognize your indefatigable spirit.
4. In previous years, I blogged about my relationship with my elderly neighbor Walt. In his final years, we actively looked out for him. He lived until his mid 90's with a determination, independence and tenacity that I very much respect considering he outlived two wives, and three bouts of serious cancer.
The achievements that individuals and society value most all seem to require tenacity. If something comes easily, it usually doesn't last the test of time. Endurance and stamina are essential qualities of greatness. Persistence and strength of purpose must be present to achieve your highest goals. Patience and resolve demonstrate the tenacious qualities necessary to succeed.
I'll lean on some wise minds to develop the notion of tenacity further....
Maya Angelou asserted that "All great achievements require time."
Cal Ripken Jr., the baseball hall of famer who played for 21 seasons and holds the record for consecutive games played said "When you're in the day-to-day grind, it just seems like it's another step along the way. But I find joy in the actual process, the journey, the work. It's not the end. It's not the end event."
Louis Pasteur, the noted French scientist, once said "Let me tell you the secret which has led me to the goal. My only strength resides in my tenacity."
Sylvester Stallone exhibited tremendous tenacity while trying to break into acting. He suffered numerous rejections because he was difficult to understand when he spoke and didn't have classic Hollywood looks. Instead of giving up, Stallone penned Rocky. Many producers rejected the script. One ultimately agreed to buy the rights for $256,000, but only if Stallone wasn't to play the lead role. That money would have helped him immensely, but it wouldn't have achieved his goal, so he negotiated $75,000 and 10% of net profits so he could be the star.
F. Scott Fitzgerald urged us to "Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat."
Legendary UCLA coach John Wooden said ""Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do."
Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu wrote "Water is fluid, soft and yielding but water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield ... what is soft is strong."
Theodore Roosevelt said "Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don't have the strength."
Thomas A. Edison, the famed inventor who suffered many more failures than successes stated "I haven't failed. I've found 10,000 ways that don't work." and "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."

--- Previous Story ---
A Senate committee is asking one of North Carolina's biggest employers if selling to a Chinese company will compromise food safety.
Smithfield Foods CEO Larry Pope says it won't create a risk for America's food supply.
Pope said the deal will actually improve business and create more jobs.
He promised the company will export meat from the U.S. to Shuanghui International and will not be importing any meat from China.
The Committee on Foreign Investments must approve the deal before it can be completed.

The book, first published in 1856, examines the Ancien Regime and exactly what caused the French Revolution that tore it down.
Now it appears readers have heeded the advice and been buying up the book. France 24 calls says the book has become "a sensation, rising to the top of bestseller lists and lighting up discussions on China's social networking website, Weibo".
A quick search on one of China's largest sites for book buying, Dangdang.com, finds multiple copies of the book for sale, with a note pointing out the book is "recommended" by vice-premier Wang Qishan.
Businessweek reports that the book actually sold out in many stores in Beijing after it was recommended by senior officials.
Peter Hartcher, the Sydney Morning Herald's political and international editor, wrote last year that the book appears to have found a new found popularity amongst Chinese leaders as they grow worried about the possibility of a counter-revolution. Unfortunately for these leaders, it doesn't offer much in the way of advice.
"He diagnoses the condition. Yet warns against attempting a cure," Hartcher writes.

MTV's movie news blog recently talked with "Transformers" babe Megan Fox, and she's confirmed to them that she's already signed on for "Transformers 2″, which, according to the blue-eyed hottie, is currently being written. Wait, is "Transformers" a mega hit already, without ever having reached the theaters? Apparently Michael Bay and company can sense the dollars, and why not? Every successive trailer I've seen for "Transformers" have been better than the last, including the most recent one. If the geeks come out in force, this thing is gonna be big.
"Transformers" invades July 4th. "Transformers 2″ is coming…

Women of all ages made measurable strides in earnings relative to men in the last 20 years, but the timing of the gains varied. The ratio of women's earnings to men's for 16- to 24-year-olds climbed much more in the 1980s than in the 1990s. Among those 25 and over, the earnings ratio advanced notably in both periods.
[Chart data—TXT]
The median weekly earnings of women ages 16-24 as a percentage of men's increased from 78.5 percent in 1979 to 90.7 percent in 1989, a rise of 12.2 percentage points. As of 1998, the ratio was only 0.6 percentage point higher at 91.3 percent, for a total change of 12.8 percentage points since 1979.
There was a smaller change in the female-to-male earnings ratio from 1979 to 1989 among those 25 and over; their earnings ratio grew by 8.1 percentage points, to 70.2 percent in 1989. The earnings ratio for this group of people rose another 5.7 percentage points to hit an all-time high of 75.9 percent in 1998, reflecting a total change of 13.8 percentage points between 1979 and 1998.
These data on earnings are produced by the Current Population Survey. More information can be found in "Highlights of Women's Earnings in 1998," BLS Report 928.

Rolling Laundry Center 17 17
Laundry convenience I'm getting older, and needed something I could hang laundry on and have a cart to put in folded clothes. Thus, I can iron a load of laundry and hang it, fold it and move it without lifting and carrying. Plus with this design the whole shebang doesn't tip over when the hanging clothes get heavy. It certainly fulfilled my needs. February 2, 2014
Nice product helps allot Only draw back is its hard to push with no handle other wise I love it and we all use it October 30, 2012
This product was missing pieces The rolling laundry cart is sturdy, however, assembly pieces were missing so the cart could not be assembled correctly. The wheels for the cart were missing pieces so the wheels kept falling off when you rolled it or used the cart. My husband had to go get pieces from the hardware store to make the wheels stay on and make the laundry cart work correctly. It was to much trouble to pack up and send back, if all parts would of been in the box, product would of been worth the price I paid. As is, the cart was not worth the money I was charged. October 2, 2012
This product is very handy. The only problem I had is the basket that you put clothes in one of the side pieces was not welded correctly so if it breaks my husband will just have to cut it off. Otherwise it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. July 21, 2012

We saw Silver Linings Playbook tonight and it's great. Jennifer Lawrence is fucking delightful and Bobby DeNiro made me cry twice. It's definitely more of a romantic comedy than the trailer leads you to believe, but it keeps one foot firmly in the "good-humored dramedy" category and it works hard for your love.
They get a little heavy-handed with the "Jen Lawrence's character is a sassy chick who has everyone's number," schtick toward the end there, and I'd be surprised if anyone actually gets an Oscar out of it (so much buzz!), but def see it anyway. Maybe save it for Christmas and go see it with your mom when you're visiting home and she complains that you never do anything together anymore.
