The Internet is a quick and easy source of information about your health – but you have to take extra steps to make sure it is also a reliable source. Reliable information without bias usually is on sites that have a URL address that ends in .edu (an educational system or university), .org (a non-profit organization such as the American Cancer Society) or .gov (the U.S. government). Use caution when reading information from sites that end in .com. Those are commercial or private sites; their commercial interests may influence their information. Also, pay attention to the date that the Website was most recently updated to help you determine how current the information is.

Home Burdens
Octavius Winslow writes the following to comfort all who carry the weight of "home-burdens." After I read it I stopped to pray for the wives I know who carry a heavy load of family duties and burdens on a daily basis. This is from his book The Ministry of Home (London: 1847), pages 351–352:
Perhaps, your home-duties, trials, and needs, form your burden. Every home is an embryo kingdom, an epitomized world, of which the parent constitutes the sovereign. There are laws to be obeyed, rules to be observed, subjects to be governed, cares to be sustained, demands to be met, and "who is sufficient for all this?" is often your anxious inquiry. Who can tell what crushing burdens, what bitter sorrows, what corroding cares, what pressing demands, may exist within a single family circle, deeply veiled from every eye but God's? . . . Your children are an anxiety. Your domestic duties a trial. Your necessities are pressing. Your whole position one of embarrassment and depression [financially].
What shall you do? Do even as the Lord who loves you enjoins — "Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain you." Your Heavenly Father knows all your home-trials, for He has sent them! Jesus, though he had no home on earth, yet sympathized with the home-cares and sorrows of others, and is not a stranger, nor indifferent to yours. Bring all to Him, tell Him all, confide to Him all, trust Him in all. You have no family trial too great, and no domestic need too little, and no home-sorrow too delicate, to take to Christ. Obey the precept, "Cast your burden upon the Lord;" and He will make good the promise, "and He shall sustain you." O costly and blessed home-burden that brings Jesus beneath our roof! . . .
Jesus is the great Burden-Bearer of His people. No other arm, and no other heart, in heaven or upon earth, were strong enough, or loving enough, to bear these burdens but His! He who bore the weight of our sin and curse and shame in His obedience and death — bore it along all the avenues of His weary pilgrimage, from Bethlehem to Calvary — is He who now stretches forth His Divine arm, and makes bare a Brother's heart to take your burden of care and of grief, dear saint of God, upon Himself.
A Soul-Satisfying Spectacle
Octavius Winslow, The Ministry of Home (London: 1847), page 39:
The sight of Jesus is a soul-satisfying spectacle.
The penitent soul is satisfied, for it sees in Jesus a free pardon of sin.
The condemned soul is satisfied, for it receives in Jesus a free justification.
The believing soul is satisfied, for it discovers in Jesus a fountain of all grace.
The tried, tempted, sorrowful soul is satisfied, for it experiences in Jesus all consolation, sympathy and love.
O, what an all-satisfying Portion is Jesus!
He satisfies every holy desire, for He realizes it.
He satisfies every craving need, for He supplies it.
He satisfies every sore grief, for He soothes it.
He satisfies the deepest yearnings, the highest aspirations, the most sublime hopes of the renewed soul, for all these center and end in Him!"
For You
From the sermon of Octavius Winslow (1808–1878) titled "The Vitality of the Atoning Blood":
The moment the ransomed and released soul enters glory, the first object that arrests its attention and fixes its eye is the interceding Savior. Faith, anticipating the glorious spectacle, sees him now pleading the blood on behalf of each member of His Church upon earth.
"By His own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us." [Hebrews 9:12]
"For Christ has not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, NOW to appear in the presence of God for us." [Hebrews 9:24]
There is blood in heaven! the blood of the Incarnate God! And because it pleads and prays, argues and intercedes, the voice of every sin is hushed, every accusation of Satan is met, every daily transgression is forgiven, every temptation of the adversary is repelled, every evil is warded, every need is supplied, and the present sanctification and the final glorification of the saints are secured.
"Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us." [Romans 8:33–34]
Draw near, you Joshuas, accused by Satan!
Approach, you Peters, whose faith is sifted!
Come, you tried and disconsolate!
The mediatorial Angel, the pleading Advocate, the interceding High Priest, has passed into the heavens, and appears before the throne, for you.
If the principle of the spiritual life in your soul has decayed, if your grace has declined, if you have 'left your first love,' there is vitality in the interceding blood of Jesus, and it prays for your revival. If sin condemns, and danger threatens, and temptation assails, and affliction wounds, there is living power in the pleading blood of Immanuel, and it procures pardon, protection, and comfort.

Some lesser-known, Cross-centered books
Recently, a good friend emailed me for recommendations on my favorite books on the cross. He wanted me to focus on books God has used to make a profound impact on my soul. When I sent the list, it included great titles like The Cross of Christ by John Stott, Living the Cross Centered Life by C.J. Mahaney, and several titles by John Piper. But as I scanned through my shelf of books on the cross, I realized that over the past few years I've come across a number of lesser-known, but richly valuable, books. And so in my list for a friend I added a subcategory of books that have great value in meditating on the cross, but don't get much attention or are now out-of-print.
So here are five of those titles (in no particular order):
1. Christ Crucified: The Marrow of the Gospel in 72 Sermons on Isaiah 53 by James Durham (Naphtali Press; $30). I've written a more extensive review of this volume so I'll keep this description brief. Christ Crucified is a precious Puritan work on the work of Christ. Yet when this volume appeared in print in 2001, it had not been previously published since 1792! In 72 sermons Durham slowly walks through Isaiah 53:1-12, pulling out the doctrine of the cross and calling the reader to respond with praise, joy, and obedience. The editor behind this contemporary edition did an outstanding job of making the text clean and easy to navigate. In the front cover of his personal copy, C.H. Spurgeon simply wrote, "Much prized." I would agree.
2. Caleb's Lamb by Helen Santos (Reformation Heritage; $7.50). A family favorite, my wife and I read this book with our children. The 100-page chapter book is the story of Caleb, a reluctant boy forced to work with his shepherd dad. Caleb personally despises the sheep. The narrative develops within the context of the Old Testament Israelites in the months leading up to the Exodus. Long story short: Caleb rescues a spotless, newborn lamb from wilderness danger and his dad passes on to Caleb a personal responsibility to care for this sheep. The story progresses around Caleb's growing maturity and his growing bond with lamb. But rumors are stirring of Moses and a coming deliverance from Egypt. Every household must prepare for the coming angel of the Lord by sacrificing a spotless lamb. It's a sobering yet wonderful story for children capturing the substitutionary atonement of Christ.
3. The Precious Things of God by Octavius Winslow (Soli Deo Gloria; out of print, buy used, read online). For a while now, I have considered Winslow to be one of the most influential writers on my soul. This book—The Precious Things of God—has the unique distinction of being classified as my most personally life-transforming book (apart from Scripture itself). The chapter on the preciousness of Christ's blood really opened my eyes to the fuller experience of the cross within the Christian life. It impacted my life at a time when I needed to get away from very technical theology books and simply needed someone to remind me again of the cross. A faithful friend pointed me towards Winslow. And this precious book was a success. Here is one excerpt.
4. The Fullness of Christ by Octavius Winslow (Reformation Heritage: $12.00, read online). Drawing his framework around the history of Joseph and his brothers, Winslow captures the sufficiency of Christ. You may not agree with Winslow's hermeneutic but through the framework he is faithful to the character and work of Christ. It's a unique work and a treasure I return to often I my personal devotional time. Here is one choice excerpt:
This quote captures the passion, skill, and articulation of Octavius Winslow. What a treasure!
5. Outrageous Mercy: Rediscovering the Radical Nature of Christianity by William P. Farley (Baker; out of print). Pastor Farley has become a friend over the years. His book, which briefly appeared in 2004 from Baker, is a gem. This is one book on the cross that you should make sacrifices to find. Here is one excerpt:
I'm hopeful Outrageous Mercy will be printed again in the future.
So those are some important, lesser-known books on the cross I would encourage you to incorporate into your library of resources and spiritual diet.
Now, what about you? What books have ministered the cross of Christ to your soul?
Morning Thoughts and Evening Thoughts by Octavius Winslow
Book review (from 2007)
Morning Thoughts and Evening Thoughts
by Octavius Winslow
Over the past five years, Reformation Heritage Books (Grand Rapids, MI) has become a household name in reformed publishing. It was RHB, under the direction of Dr. Joel Beeke, that brought us the Works of Thomas Goodwin 12 volume reprint (2006), The Inner Sanctum of Puritan Piety by J. Stephen Yuille (2007), Jeremiah Burrough's commentary on Hosea (2006), The Path of True Godliness by William Teellinck (2003), A Sweet Flame: Piety in the Letters of Jonathan Edwards (2007) and the other 'Profiles in Reformed Spirituality.' RHB produced the 2006 TSS book of the year, Meet the Puritans, by Beeke and Randall Peterson.
Another noteworthy achievement from this five-year span is the re-typeset and newly reissued devotionals written by Octavius Winslow – Morning Thoughts (2003) and Evening Thoughts (2005). These two volumes, first published 150 years ago, should be considered some of the best devotional literature in print today.
Winslow enjoyed a lengthy ministry as a pastor and writer. His many books all rise to peak expressions of the beauty of our Savior. Rich reformed spirituality saturates each page and few authors have risen to his levels of sustained doxological expression of thanks for the Cross, of sobering real-life reminders of living under the Cross, and helping the reader draw spiritual strength from the Cross.
Several years ago, at a time when I needed to learn how to affectionately respond to my growing theology, I was told to read The Precious Things of God (incredibly it remains out-of-print). This was my introduction to Winslow and it made a significant impact on my soul. became, from that point onward, one of my favorite books apart from Scripture. It continues to be–I think–Winslow's greatest achievement although it's one of the most difficult of his books to find in printed form [although it is available as online text, at Google books, the Internet Archive, and now on the Kindle].
Morning Thoughts and Evening Thoughts both capture this same warm spirituality of Winslow. It's no surprise his many works are accessible online for free. Thankfully this has not prevented many of his works to be reprinted by multiple publishers like Banner of Truth and Tentmaker. Just recently RHB has edited, re-typset and reprinted The Fullness of Christ (2006) and Our God (2007). Both are classics!
Morning and Evening
A morning with Christ is the best way to begin a day with Christ. But the evening devotions – oftentimes overlooked – play an important role as well. Winslow begins the second volume by looking to the evening temple lamb sacrifice as our pattern. "The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even" (Num. 28:4 KJV).
"The devout Israelite was thus taught to close the day as he began it: with a sacrifice for sin" Winslow writes in the preface to Evening Thoughts. "Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb of God, meets this new and depressed condition of the believer. To Him how blessed, before slumber seals the eyelid, to take all the sins, the imperfections, the wanderings of the day, and with a fresh believing view of the cross lie down peacefully and repose beneath a loving, forgiving Father's care!"
These two devotionals were originally published in 1856 and 1858. The selections are hand-picked by Winslow from his pre-existing works. They begin with a passage (KJV) and then expound one or two principles from the text at hand. The text has been re-typeset and slightly edited to increase the readability of Winslow's writing.
Morning Thoughts was originally published in a larger print to accommodate an elderly audience (approximately 14 pt font). The text in the second volume, Evening Thoughts, was shrunk because of space limitations (approximately 12 pt font). The sharp re-typeset editions make them easy to read in either size.
The readings are short (2+/- pages each) and I normally read them slowly, and always I read them twice.
Both volumes are similar in size and construction. Morning Thoughts is 788 pages and Evening Thoughts is 733 pages in length. Both are hardcover and feature durable Smyth-sewn binding and very clean white paper. An index to all main Scripture citations is found at the end of the second volume. There is no topical index, which would have been helpful for preachers and readers using the devotionals as a reference.
The text is only slightly edited and eliminates minor hindrances to readability. One example will highlight this. Here is the original text from the morning of January 7th:
"The Atonement itself precludes all idea of human merit, and, from its very nature, proclaims that it is free. Consider the grandeur of the Atonement- contemplate its costliness: incarnate Deity- perfect obedience- spotless purity- unparalleled grace and love- acute and mysterious sufferings- wondrous death, resurrection, ascension, and intercession of the Savior, all conspire to constitute it the most august sacrifice that could possibly be offered."
And here is the edited RHB text:
"The atonement itself precludes all idea of human merit, and, from its very nature, proclaims that it is free. Consider the grandeur of the atonement, contemplate its costliness: incarnate Deity, perfect obedience, spotless purity, unparalleled grace and love, acute and mysterious sufferings, wondrous death, resurrection, ascension, and intercession of the Savior. All conspire to constitute it the most noble sacrifice that could possibly be offered."
Notice the many dashes are removed for commas and "august" is replaced with a more contemporary word "noble." On the whole, the editing is minimal but effective.
Winslow was particularly skilled at broad application to hit each reader. He would apply one theme across a wide spectrum of saints in various life situations – the joyful, the suffering, the lazy, the struggling, the young and the old. These volumes will appeal to a broad readership and will make great general gifts for Christian friends. The choice selections are easy-to-read and will suit family reading times. Even small children can easily follow the beautiful selections. And family prayer will be compelled from these powerful readings. Pastors will find here a wealth of quotable material.
It's with great joy I recommend Morning Thoughts and Evening Thoughts.

The Cross-centered (prayer) life
Octavius Winslow
The Cross-centered prayer life
"Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full" (John 16:24)
"A most powerful incentive to prayer is found in a close and realizing view of the atoning blood. What encouragement does it present to this blessed and holy life of communion with God! The atoning blood! The mercy seat sprinkled over! The High Priest before the throne! The cloud of incense constantly ascending! The Father well pleased! What can more freely invite the soul that pants for close and holy communion with God? And when the atoning blood is realized upon the conscience, when pardon and acceptance are sealed upon the heart by the Eternal Spirit, oh, then what a persuasion to draw near the throne of grace has the believer in Christ! Then, there is no consciousness of guilt to keep the believer back; no dread of God; no trembling apprehensions of a repulse. God is viewed through the cross as reconciled, and as standing in the endeared relationship, and wearing the inviting smile of a Father. With such an altar, such a High Priest, such atoning blood, and such a reconciled God, what an element should prayer be to a believer in Christ! Let the soul, depressed, burdened, tried, tempted, as it may be, draw near the mercy seat: God delights to hear, delights to answer. Taking in the hand the atoning blood, pleading the infinite merit of Christ – reminding the Father of what His Son has accomplished, of His own gracious promise to receive and favorably answer the petition endorsed with the name and presented in behalf of that Son – the feeblest child of God, the most disconsolate, the most burdened, may approach and open all the heart to a prayer-hearing and prayer-answering God. Let the atoning blood be strenuously pleaded, let the precious and infinite merit of Christ be fully urged, and the blessing petitioned for will be obtained."
"May not this be assigned as a reason why so few of our petitions are answered, why so little blessing is obtained: The faint pleading of the atoning blood? There is so feeble a recognition of the blessed way of access, so little wrestling with the precious blood, so little looking by faith to the cross, the dear name of Immanuel so seldom urged, and when urged so coldly mentioned – oh, is it any marvel that our prayers return to us unanswered, the petition ungranted, the draft on the full treasury of His love unhonored? The Father loves to be reminded of His beloved Son; the very breathing of the name to Him is music; the very waving of the censer of infinite merits to Him is fragrant. He delights to be pressed with this plea; it is a plea at all times prevalent; it is a plea He cannot reject; it glorifies Himself, honors His Son, while it enriches him who urges it. And, oh, in the absence of all other pleas, what a mercy to come with a plea like this! Who can fully estimate it? No plea has the poor believer springing from himself: he searches, but nothing can he find on which to rest a claim; all within is vile, all without is marred by sin; unfaithfulness, ingratitude, departure do but make up the history of the day. But in Christ he sees that which he can urge, and in urging which God will hear and answer."

Christmas book recommendation: The Fullness of Christ by Octavius Winslow
Christmas book recommendation:
The Fullness of Christ by Octavius Winslow
The Fullness of Christ, written by my favorite author (Octavius Winslow), was published this year by Reformation Heritage Books. All of his books are devotional and exceptional in highlighting the beauty, fullness and refreshment in Christ!! His best book and — apart from the bible — the best book I have ever read is The Precious Things of God. (Yes, you heard me right, the best book I have read apart from the bible. For some reason this gem is out of print but worth every effort to find.) The Fullness is a great introduction to this wonderful author.

Tony's Book Club pick #2: The Precious Things of God by Octavius Winslow (1877611611, book review)
Naturally, the most precious things to our hearts are not the most precious things to God. This distinction is what we commonly label 'sin.' Our hearts treasure the temporary, the cheap and the sinful. God treasures the eternal, the priceless and the holy. The Christian life is a path of aligning our affections with the precious things God treasures.
This brings me to both my favorite book and favorite author (apart from the bible): Octavius Winslow. I have yet to read a book by Winslow that has not pushed me closer to the heart of God. As for devotion and edification, no author rivals Winslow.
Octavius Winslow was a good friend of Spurgeon and it's no secret why. Winslow is devotional, passionate and concrete. The Precious Things of God covers such a wide panorama of the Christian life that every Christian reader will be ministered to and the preacher will find in this one book a quote to fit almost any sermon on any topic.
Winslow writes with power because, like the Puritan legacy he follows, a simple understanding of the truths of God's Word is insufficient. Like the hammer on the head of a nail, the experience of the truth drives itself into a permanent place in our lives.
In the preface Winslow writes, "We really know as much of the gospel of Christ, and of the Christ of the gospel, as by the power of the Holy Ghost we have the experience of it in our souls. All other acquaintance with Divine truth must be regarded as merely intellectual, theoretical, speculative, and of little worth" (p. iv).
Winslow's goal (by God's grace) is to give the readers an experience of God's Word, and that is the motive behind this and his other works.
I have noticed that many well-meaning devotional works tend towards the abstract and vague. Winslow's language remains concrete throughout. For example, take this excerpt about the crucifixion event:
"In that vital stream He [the Father] saw the life, the spiritual and eternal life, of His people. His everlasting love had found a fit and appropriate channel through which it could flow to the vilest sinner. Divine mercy, in her mission to our fallen planet, approached the Cross of Calvary, paused – gazed – and adored. Then dipping her wings in the crimson stream, pursued her flight through the world, proclaiming, in music such as angels had never heard, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good will to men!'" (p. 169).
And the following quote recently came alive to me personally. Just two weeks ago, my 51-year-old neighbor Greg was driving home from work on his motorcycle when he did not see a drunk man pulling out onto a busy street. Greg slammed into the back of the vehicle and died from his injuries shortly thereafter. My heart broke when I heard that in the hour following the accident, his family was frantically trying to find a priest to come and give the last rites. Greg was dead before a priest arrived.
I've since been haunted by the scene of my neighbor on the pavement as his life was leaving his body. What was he thinking of? What was he hoping in?
A Winslow's quote continues to come to mind when I consider this dreadful scene:
"All of earth's attraction ceases, all of our creature-succor fails. Everything is failing – heart and strength failing – mental power failing – medical skill failing – human affection and sympathy failing; the film of death is on the eye, and the invisible realities of the spirit-world are unveiling to the mental view. Bending over you, the loved one who has accompanied you to the margin of the cold river, asks for a sign. You are too weak to conceive a thought, too low to breathe a word, too absorbed to bestow a responsive glance. You cannot now aver [verify] your faith in an elaborate creed, and you have no profound experience, or ecstatic emotions, or heavenly visions to describe. One brief, but all-emphatic, all-expressive sentence embodies the amount of all that you know, and believe, and feel; it is the profession of your faith, the sum of your experience, the ground of your hope – 'Christ is precious to my soul!' Enough! The dying Christian can give, and the inquiring friend can wish no more" (pp. 31-32).
Winslow's book will help our lives end with those simple and profoundly supernatural words – Christ is precious to my soul!
The Precious Things of God is available on-line from a number of sources but I recommend the Soli Deo Gloria printed volume. It's dark blue cloth binding is wonderful and fitting such a precious volume. (Update: the book is now officially out-of-print. I cannot tell you how affirming it is when you tell people it's the best book you have read and the publisher stops printing it at the very same time =) Second-guessing my sanity, anyone?).

After the highs of February, Everton's campaign suffered a telling blow as March got underway.
The last hope of silverware for 2010/11 was extinguished with a disappointing home defeat to Reading at the fifth round stage.
With a quarter-final tie at Manchester City on offer for the winners - and after the heroics of the penalty shoot-out success at Chelsea - Everton were the favourites in the clash with The Royals.
Everton dominated possession but couldn't find an answer to Matt Mills' first half goal, ensuring an anti-climactic end to a Cup run that had promised so much after Stamford Bridge.
Typically, the Blues responded to that setback in defiant manner. Four days later they travelled to the north east to record an impressive 2-1 victory over Newcastle. Mikel Arteta was inspirational on the left-flank as David Moyes' men bounced back from a goal down to seal the three points. All the goals came in the first half, Leon Best's fortuitous strike providing the home side with the lead for just eight minutes before a cracker from Leon Osman on the half hour levelled. Phil Jagielka was the unlikely match winner five minutes later, stabbing home from a brilliant Leighton Baines free-kick.
The win moved the Blues to 10th in the table, level on points with the Magpies.
But, after that success, another evening of frustration awaited at Goodison. A torn hamstring for Arteta, just as he was rediscovering his best form, set the tone for the evening as Everton played host to Birmingham. An uninspiring 1-1 stalemate will be best remembered for a thumper from John Heitinga - his first goal in a Blue shirt - and little else.
A rollercoaster month concluded with a welcome home victory. Fulham were the visitors overcome courtesy of a first half Seamus Coleman strike and a second Louis Saha effort. Clint Dempsey struck a second half consolation as the visitors rallied to make it a nervy end to the afternoon for the home side.
But the three points ensured that, despite the month having started so badly, it ended with the Toffees on the up, climbing into eight place as the race to the finish began in earnest.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — After decades of depending on inflows of foreign capital to develop its economy, Mexico has turned a corner and become a net exporter of direct investment capital in 2012.
Mexico's central bank announced Monday that Mexican corporations invested about $25.6 billion last year in buying up foreign plants and companies, more than twice the $12.7 foreigners invested directly in Mexican firms.
For a country that still has one foot planted firmly in the developing world, that news worried some analysts and delighted others.
An official confirmed that was the first time in recent memory that outflows exceeded inflows.
Last year was marked by big purchases of European telecom assets by Mexican magnate Carlos Slim, considered the world's richest man.

Great Minds: MMA Media Predictions For The UFC 152 Title Fights
You read their articles, you watch and listen to their interviews, but often the personal opinions of the MMA media get brushed over.
These experts have inside knowledge of the sport and a unique perspective of the fighters that they have the privilege of interacting with. Before you place that bet in Vegas or with your friends, be sure to check out what those most educated about the sport have to say about the upcoming event.
Read as 11 of the sport's top writers and reporters break down and predict the UFC 152 title fights of Jon Jones vs. Vitor Belfort and Joseph Benavidez vs. Demetrious Johnson, scheduled for Sept. 22 at the Air Canada Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.Light Heavyweight Championship Bout: Jon Jones (Champion) (16-1) vs. Vitor Belfort (21-9)
Mike Bohn (Fight Cove): Unless a minor miracle happens on Saturday night and Jon Jones turns up at UFC 152 completely flat, Vitor Belfort is primed for a hellacious beating from "Bones". Belfort's success is entirely dependent on getting inside of Jones' reach, when the difference between winning and losing hangs on that one intangible, it's bad news. I would truly like to see Belfort make it a fight, but Saturday should be no more than a showcase of Jones' talents. Jon Jones via TKO – Round 1
Dann Stupp (MMA Junkie): I think the oddsmakers have this one right. Jones is a huge favorite, and for good reason. I think he can do anything Belfort does, but he can do it better. He's younger, quicker and bigger. Additionally, despite his young age and relative inexperience in the MMA game, Jones fights with remarkable poise and confidence. I don't think we've always seen that out of Belfort in recent years, so even if his quick hands put the champ in trouble, I'm not sure he'd be fully ready to pull the trigger and capitalize. Regardless, I think Jones stops it before Belfort ever feels comfortable in there. Jones via first-round TKO.
Kevin Iole (Yahoo! Sports): Vitor has great punching power and if he catches Jones cleanly, it's a different fight. But Jon has faced punchers as good as Belfort and hasnt had an issue. The idea that he has a weak chin should be long since forgotten. I think he takes Belfort down, cuts him open with elbows and forces the referee to stop the fight. Jon Jones TKO1 Vitor Belfort.
Brett Okamoto (ESPN): It's a mismatch, unfortunately. Vitor's style, especially in recent years, is to stand in front of a guy for long periods of time, looking for an opportunity to explode. Jones is too unpredictable and his reach is too great for that type of strategy to have much consistent success. You have to respect Belfort's power and his punching accuracy, but I think he's going to freeze. No one really plans on hanging out at the end of Jones' punches, but they always end up there and I don't see Belfort being much different. So there's that, and we still haven't even talked about the ground, which is where Jones' greatest advantage is. He'll throw Belfort on his back if that's what he wants to do and from there, it's the elbows from top position we all know so well. Mismatch.
Dave Doyle (MMA Fighting/Sports Illustrated): I'd love to believe that Vitor Belfort will have his "Rocky" moment here, but, let's get real: This is a guy who hasn't fought at light heavyweight in several years, who has been competing since Tank Abbott was relevant. He's stepping up and meeting a fighter who doesn't have any legit losses on his record, has mowed down four straight guys who have held the UFC light heavyweight championship, and who no doubt feels he has something to prove after everything that went down with UFC 151. Jones via TKO, probably in the first round.
Mike Straka (Fight Now! TV): Vitor is violent. He's dangerous. He has knockout power in both hands. He's fast and explosive. He has fought anybody and everybody the UFC has put in front of him. He won't be able to lay a glove on Jones. Jones' reach will keep him at bay. I'll do a shot of tequila in press row every time Belfort lands a punch on Jones. Oh wait, media are not allowed to drink in press row. That's okay. No tequila necessary. Belfort out. Jones in.
Guilherme Cruz (Tatame): We all know that anything can happen in MMA, but sometimes the odds of something happening are way too little. That's the case with Jon Jones vs. Vitor Belfort. The Brazilian middleweight has heavy hands that could easily knock a heavyweight out with one of his fast combinations, and that's where Vitor's chances stands. Jones knows that and, unless he tries to test his striking in this fight, he has a easy stoppage win coming with an early takedown and elbows from the top.
Matt Roth (Bleacher Report): This is probably the easiest fight ever to pick but I still wouldn't be all that surprised if there's an upset. It's just how I am. I always allow an out. But I'll commit and say that Jon Jones does whatever he wants, when he wants, to Vitor Belfort on Saturday night. Jon Jones by third round TKO.
Geno Mrosko (MMA Mania): Here's the thing: there is no thing. This is an easy win for Jones and we all know it and there's barely any reason to make a prediction on it. Unless "Bones" has this weird lapse of judgement and decides he wants to see if his chin can withstand Vitor's best short, there are only a few ways this can end and they all involve Jonny Boy mauling the Brazilian. This is like a high school senior going to a grade school and picking on the one kid there dumb enough to accept a fight against him. Sure, there's a one in a million chance the grade schooler comes through but it's not worth paying the money to watch the inevitable.
James Brydon (Sportsnet): Jones by 2nd round TKO. With all due respect to Vitor Belfort, if Anderson Silva could knock him out in one round on full preparation, Jones should be able to do it in two on a short one.
Jason Nawara (Middle Easy): Although Jon Jones seems unbeatable, I think Vitor Belfort has as good of a chance as anyone. If he can somehow channel his inner 19-year-old self and burst forward with reckless abandon throwing bombs at Bones' skull, then he has a chance. oh yes, he has a chance – it just lies in the first two minutes of the fight. The longer the fight goes on, the more it plays into Bones' hands. My official prediction? I'm going to go with Vitor, round one KO, because I think he knows what he has to do, and I will look like a friggin' genius if it actually happens. Well, kind of a genius. Maybe just someone who guessed correctly. Not really anything genius about that at all…
Adam Martin (The Score): Honestly, I don't see this being much of a fight. Jones has a huge advantage in reach, size, and in my opinion talent, and he should get through Belfort, a middleweight moving up to 205, in absolutely dominant fashion. I don't see this fight lasting long at all as I expect Jones to storm in early, get the takedown, and finish Belfort with vicious elbows on the ground for a first-round TKO finish.
Media picking Jon Jones: 10
Media picking Vitor Belfort: 1
Mike Bohn (Fight Cove): As much as I would like to see someone get finished in this fight, I have a very hard time picturing any other results but a five-round decision. Be assured, though. For the 25-minutes or less that Joseph Beavidez and Demetrious Johnson lock horns inside the octagon, it's going to be a battle of skill and who wants it more. The only advantage I give Johnson is in the speed department and even then, it's not like "Mighty Mouse" is overwhelmingly quicker than Benavidez. I expect a very competitive fight where each man is going to have their high point but neither will be able to take control in a dominant fashion. Ultimately, Benavidez is the more talented fighter and should be able to take at least three of the five scheduled rounds and win a decision. Joseph Benavidez via Unanimous Decision.
Dann Stupp (MMA Junkie): Obviously, these two have a lot in common, including speed, endurance and a well-rounded set of skills. But in a five-round title fight, I think damage plays a significant factor. With his power, which was on a display in his win over Yasuhiro Urushitani, Benavidez is likely to have the edge. I'm not sold on him stopping the fight (no one's stopped Johnson yet, after all), but I think mounting blows ultimately will take a toll and help Benavidez win the nod from the judges. Benavidez via unanimous decision.
Kevin Iole (Yahoo! Sports): This is a very close fight and is very difficult to pick. But Benavidez's track record is a little stronger and he's been getting better. I expect him to pull out a decision in a very close bout that could go either way. Joseph Benavidez W5 Demetrious Johnson.
Brett Okamoto (ESPN): A fight so many of us have long waited to see, made even better because it's a five-rounder with a title on the line. Johnson's speed is legit, even against other flyweights. He's just so fast. It'd be naive to think Benavidez won't have at least a little trouble with it. Everyone does. But Benavidez is so talented in all areas and he understands range so well. When he was fighting bigger guys, he had to. He's very defensively sound. He's fought bigger guys his entire career and yet, you rarely, rarely see him beat up at all at the ene of a fight. I think he's got an advantage on the ground and I think he's got the ability to get it there for extended amounts of time. Johnson is so squirrelly though. It's gonna be a great fight — one of those where simply whoever is more on that particular night will get the W.
Dave Doyle (MMA Fighting/Sports Illustrated): I'd be surprised if this fight doesn't live up to the "Potential Fight of the Night" hype. For all the negative things that have happened in the sport this year, the action the flyweights have consistently delivered in the cage has been one of the positive story lines. These guys has similar skill sets. "Mighty Mouse" probably has the speed advantage and Benavidez the power edge. Wouldn't be surprised at all if Johnson won, but when push comes to shove I'm going with Benavidez via late-round stoppage.
Mike Straka (Fight Now! TV): This will be a five round, back and forth war. I think Benavidez will win a unanimous decision, but if Dominick Cruz couldn't finish Johnson (albeit his hair stayed perfect the whole match), I don't think Benavidez will get the finish either. I think this fight will be won on the ground. Look for Joe to take down Johnson and use superior Joe Jitsu to control the match. Tierra y Libra muchachos.
Guilherme Cruz (Tatame): Joseph Benavidez vs. Demetrious Johnson is probably the closest match-up in the top three fights of this card, but I see Johnson taking the title by decision. He's too fast for Benavidez, and his submission skills will be enough to avoid any threats when he takes the fight to the bottom.
Matt Roth (Bleacher Report): I love this fight. I really do. So much so that as a fan I'm just hoping that it lives up to whatever expectations I have in my head. I think Benavidez is just better at everything though Johnson may have a slight speed advantage. Ultimately this is Joseph Benavidez' fight to lose. Joseph Benavidez by TKO in the second round.
Geno Mrosko (MMA Mania): I was tempted to take Johnson because I can remember how good he looked against Dominick Cruz 10 pounds heavier but then I remembered Benavidez looked just as good in the same situation. This is an extremely close fight with Benavidez getting a slight edge on power but Johnson probably being faster. I'm not sure which will win out but I gotta think we're headed for an decision that no one will be satisfied with. Give me Benavidez but not by much.
James Brydon (Sportsnet): Benavidez by unanimous decision. I have a feeling Joe Jitsu might be a little overconfident, but I believe he's still just a little more talented than DJ, who is always tough to put away however.
Jason Nawara (Middle Easy): I played Joe Benavidez in UFC 3 at a UFC 3 launch party in San Francisco last year and he was damn good. He picked up the controller after a few minutes of tutorial and was laying it to dudes who were playing for hours. I think this display of how sharp his mind is and how willing he is to adjust on the fly to take out his opponent is telling. I like Mighty Mouse, but he pretty much has a one-dimensional arsenal, Joe B. Can defeat him from almost anywhere in the cage, and I expect that to happen. I'm going with Benavidez, second round TKO.
Adam Martin (The Score): This will be Fight of the Night as it will be five rounds of guaranteed action. Neither man has ever been finished and I don't expect them to on Saturday night, as I expect this fight to go the distance. It's going to be very close, and the result might be controversial, but I believe the speed advantage of Johnson will allow him to outpoint Benavidez and take home either a split or unanimous decision.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Star players of the Drugstore Game never pay for toothpaste or tissue.
Until I joined the world of frugal bloggers, I had no idea there was a "CVS Game," in whch people used coupons and the CVS Extra Care Bucks rewards program to score free toothpaste for life and otherwise save on toiletries, cosmetics and other items.
This week through March 15, CVS is awarding double Extra Bucks rewards for CVS-brand items and prescriptions. To get the deals, customers need to present a Double Bucks certificate along with their ExtraCare card in the store or sign up online. You can get the certificates at the stores, online or in the weekly sales circulars. The Extra Bucks awarded during this promotion will be available the first week in April.
How to avoid higher checked-bag fees and longer security lines.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Continental raised fees earlier this month from $18 to $25 for a first checked bag and $27 to $35 for a second. Delta, United, American and US Airways all swiftly followed suit.
"There are now three things certain in life: death, taxes and airlines fees," says Terry Trippler, the chief executive of RulestoKnow.com, which tracks airline policies. During the third quarter of 2009, airline fees generated $2 billion, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. That's a 36% increase over the previous year.
- Bing: Airline horror stories
Airlines need the revenue amid rising fuel prices and slumping travel, but they're also positioned to take advantage of increased numbers of checked bags amid new security restrictions following the attempted bombing of a Northwest flight on Christmas Day. The Transportation Security Administration added new screening methods for U.S.-bound international flights, and cautioned consumers that lines may be longer than usual. On U.S.-bound flights from Canada, there's a temporary ban on carry-on bags. Passengers are allowed only a small personal item such as a purse or laptop computer.
Here's how to limit the hassles of bag fees and long security lines at every stage of your trip:
If it discloses where you'll be and your personal cell phone number, that's too much information.
This post comes from Linsey Knerl at partner blog Wise Bread.
It's a common practice: You leave the office for any amount of time (a week, an hour, etc.) and you set up a nice little out-of-office e-mail reply so people don't wonder why you haven't responded in a timely fashion. You think you're being proactive, even professional.
But could you be risking your personal information and possibly even your safety?
The Mayo Clinic says some over-the-counter drugs may preclude a trip to the doctor.
This post comes from partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
In recent decades, with many Americans covered by some sort of health benefit, consumers are quick to head for their doctor's office for all sorts of complaints. Some see that tendency as one of the drivers of rising health care costs.
Could it be that consumers could save time, money and strain on the health care system if they paid a little closer attention to what's in their medicine chest at home? Doctors at the Mayo Clinic suggest they can.
Single men spend more than single women on just about everything. OK, no, not clothes.
In the war between the sexes, it's never easy to say who's winning. Now, though, you can see who's spending. And it might not be who you think.
According to Bundle -- a brand-new partner site of MSN Money that lets users investigate spending trends by age, household, income and geography -- single men outspend single women in almost every category. Yes, men make more than women do -- about 25% more, according to the Institute for Women's Policy Research.
But even among men and women with similar household incomes, men spent about 19% more than women on food and
Bankruptcy is the most extreme way of dealing with a debt dilemma. But last year it was the choice of more than 1 million people.
In doing research for my latest book, "Life or Debt 2010," I explored virtually every way to deal with debt, from the do-it-yourself method most would prefer to more extreme methods like credit counseling and debt settlement. This story is about the nuclear bomb of debt destruction: bankruptcy.
When I produced the news story you're about to see, I was just looking for the down-and-dirty facts from a lawyer about who should file for bankruptcy and why. What I got was a heartbreaking, personal story from just one of the 1.4 million Americans who filed for bankruptcy last year.
Downsizing to smaller house and focusing on charity transformed Atlanta family.
Last Sunday's Parade magazine told the story of a family who decided to sell their house, buy one half the size and give all their profits, about $800,000, to charity.
Ten years ago, Kevin and Joan Salwen bought their dream house, a 6,500-square-foot historic home in Atlanta. Except it didn't bring the joy they had expected to the family, which included daughter Hannah and son Joseph, Kevin wrote in Parade:
Some of these restaurant food challenges also come with T-shirts and cash prizes.
We love that TV show "Man v. Food," where Adam Richman stuffs his face with hot wings by the truckload or enough oysters to clog the Panama Canal. (OK, we exaggerate somewhat.) In many of these settings, you don't have to pay if you can meet the restaurant's challenge.
Better yet, sometimes you can win cash.
Now you can easily find many of these "deals," thanks to a post (with photos!) at Coupon Sherpa. The first stop is Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, Pa., where two people can chow down for free on the 15-pound Belly Buster burger -- if the entire thing is gone in three hours.

An Atlanta police supervisor has been fired after being charged with drinking under the influence.Early on New Year's Day, Atlanta Police Lt. Maurice Dodd allegedly struck a water hydrant with his personal vehicle on Piedmont at Farr roads in Buckhead early New Year's Day. In Dodd's car, police said they found two large open containers of beer. Authorities said that Dodd's speech was allegedly slurred and he had strong odor of alcohol.Dodd then refused to submit to an alcohol test, prompting his termination."Where reasonable suspicion exists, the employee must submit to an alcohol or drug test and the lieutenant refused to do that," said APD Deputy Chief Erika Shields. "If we are going to go out there and have the authority to take people in custody and use lethal force, the standard has to be higher on us."Dodd wasn't the only APD employee accused of DUI in December. Shields said one officer only lasted 24 hours before he got into a crash. "He went through the entire police academy and was sworn in as a new officer on a Friday, and before he had even had a chance to patrol, he went out on the next Saturday and he got a DUI," Shields said. "It's very discouraging to have invested all this time and money quite frankly into this individual and get nothing in return. All total, the APD had three DUI arrests of employees in December. A third case took place while an officer was vacationing in California. That officer is on paid leave pending an investigation of his case.

SHEFFIELD, Mass. (WBOC/AP) - Authorities say a Delaware man hiking the Appalachian Trail in western Massachusetts has died after a 35-foot fall down a steep ravine.
Sheffield Police Chief Eric Munson says he was 1 of the first people on the scene after getting an emergency call at about 1:45 p.m. Wednesday.
He says he arrived to find a group of college students trying to help the man.
The 28-year-old victim, who was hiking along the trail with his 22-year-old brother, fell down the ravine at Race Brook Falls near the Connecticut border. He died as rescuers rushed him from the scene. The younger man was not hurt.
No names had been released as of Thursday morning.
As many as 50 people helped in the rescue.

The attorney for the Hospital Authority of Ben Hill County is speaking out about Phoebe's and Dorminy Medical management agreement.
Last week, Phoebe Putney Health Systems announced they will no longer manage Dorminy Medical Center in Fitzgerald.
The attorney for the Hospital Authority of Ben Hill County says the agreement for Phoebe to stop managing Dorminy Medical was not mutual.
John Croley says there were no specific reason given for the dissolution of management, and the Hospital Authority that owns Dorminy Medical has filed a breach of contract lawsuit.
"They spoke for us out of turn," said John Croley. "We never agreed for them to depart. They unilaterally departed."
" I assure the citizens Ben Hill County, that we're going to do everything we can to maintain the highest healthcare service and emergency service that we possibly can. That's the county's role," said Ben Hill County Administrator Frank Feild.
Croley says they are exploring other management options and they have given Phoebe Putney Health Systems an open ended amount of time to respond to the lawsuit.

While generating more GapC and NIA sequences, we have now successfully amplified three PPR alleles and from preliminary runs they seem to be very informative too at species level in Campanulaceae. To make everything even more appealing, cloning is indeed not necessary. Quick and cheaper results. What's not to love about the nuclear genome! So far, so still excellent!

SOA XRF Test Protocol Gets Space Foundation Hall of Fame Nomination
"The Space Foundation has received a number of excellent nominations for "down to Earth" technologies to be considered for induction into the Space Technology Hall of Fame and we are pleased to have the XRF technology among them. The 52 technologies currently in the Hall of Fame are great examples of why what we do in space matters on Earth," said Cook.
The development of the new technology was commissioned by the CRI to create a new test methodology to evaluate the performance of carpet cleaning equipment and systems. The CRI has incorporated the new technology into a Seal of Approval program which will be unveiled September 12, 2005 at the John F. Kennedy Space Center.
The "launch" event is being hosted by the NASA Southeast Regional Technology Transfer Center, The Carpet and Rug Institute, The Space Foundation, The John F. Kennedy Space Center, and The Marshall Space Flight Center.
"We're extremely honored to be part of the Space Foundation Hall of Fame nomination. This is the first time an entire commercial industry has been able to benefit from a NASA-certified technology and we're very excited about what it means not only to us, but more importantly, what it means to the consumer. This is a wonderful example of how private industry can partner with NASA to make life here on Earth better for everyone. What a win-win situation," said Werner Braun, CRI president.

The Wisconsin Innocence Project (WIP) represents prison inmates who claim to be actually innocent of the crimes for which they are incarcerated. The Project is unable to represent all prisoners with claims of innocence; the Project is able to become involved in only a select number of cases in which there appears to be a significant chance that substantial new evidence can be found to prove innocence. Generally, the best type of evidence for this purpose is new physical evidence, such as blood, hair, or semen, that can be subjected to scientific testing, such as DNA testing. In some cases, where scientific testing was performed previously with inconclusive results, new technologies may be available now to obtain conclusive results. Other types of new evidence may be eyewitness accounts, or recantations from victims or witnesses, if such recantation can be supported by other new evidence.
How to Apply for Assistance
The first step in submitting a case for WIP's review is to complete the Application for Assistance. The application must be completed as fully as possible and submitted by the person claiming innocence. Please do not include any additional documents with the application.
- Application form (English) in PDF format (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader)
- Application form (Spanish) in PDF format (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader)
- Once completed, the application should be mailed to the address below. Please be aware that by submitting an application, WIP does not agree and is not obligated to represent the applicant.
Wisconsin Innocence Project
Frank J. Remington Center
University of Wisconsin Law School
975 Bascom Mall
Madison, WI 53706-1399
Once we receive the application, our Intake Staff will review the application to see what, if anything, our project can do to assist. If the application meets certain program criteria, it will be placed on our wait list to be further reviewed by law students and supervising attorneys. Again, if the applicant is placed on the wait list, it does not mean that WIP has agreed to representation. Please note that our wait list is currently very long. It may take 3 years or more before we are able to assign an applicant for further review.
Once assigned to a case, the applicant will be contacted by law students and a supervising attorney. If WIP does agree to represent an applicant, the applicant will be informed of the scope of the representation by WIP.
How We Select Cases:
The criteria for selecting cases include the following:
Case Location
The Wisconsin Innocence Project primarily takes cases from individuals wrongly convicted in state and federal courts in Wisconsin.
Under extraordinary circumstances, the Project will consider cases from the following neighboring states in the Upper Midwest: Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan.
The Project will consider cases from outside this region only if DNA evidence is available that can be used to prove innocence, or if there are similarly compelling and exceptional circumstances, AND if there is no innocence project available to provide assistance in the inmate's state.
New Evidence
The inmate must be making a claim of innocence based on substantial new evidence that has not been considered previously by a court.
Appeals Completed
The defendant must have been convicted and all direct appeals must be exhausted or the time for filing a direct appeal must have passed. If a prisoner still has time to file a direct appeal, he or she should exercise the right to appointed counsel through the courts of the public defender system.
No Other Counsel
The inmate must not be currently represented by another attorney in his of her criminal case, or have the right to appointed counsel in the case. We do not accept cases if:
- The applicant played even a minor role in the crime or is not claiming actual innocence to the crime.
- The applicant feels as though he or she should have been convicted of a different crime.
- The applicant acted in self-defense.
- The applicant claimed the defense of insanity or intoxication.
- The applicant was convicted of a sexual assault for a sexual encounter he or she says was consensual.
- The applicant has less than three (3) years to serve on the incarceration portion of his or her sentence. Due to a lack of resources, we are unable to assist those who are on probation or parole.

Got your "big data" plan in place? If not, you may want to think about implementing one.
Big data is being hailed -- or hyped, depending on your point of view -- as a key strategic business asset of the future. That means it's only a matter of time before the suits in the corner office want to know IT's thoughts on the matter.
[ Explore the current trends and solutions in BI with InfoWorld's interactive Business Intelligence iGuide. | Read about InfoWorld's 2012 Technology of the Year Award winners. | Read about InfoWorld's top 10 emerging enterprise technologies. | Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter. ]
What to tell them? To be sure, handling large amounts of data isn't virgin territory for most IT departments, but beyond the hype, analysts say, big data really is different from the data warehousing, data mining, and business intelligence analysis that have come before it.
Data is being generated with greater velocity and variability than ever before, and, unlike data in the past, most of it is unstructured and raw (sometimes called "gray data").
Blogs, social media networks, machine sensors, and location-based tools are generating a whole new universe of unstructured data that -- when quickly captured, managed, and analyzed -- can help companies uncover facts and patterns they weren't able to recognize in the past.
"We've collected data for a long time, but it was very limited -- we produced a lot of it, but no one was doing much with it," says Paul Gustafson, director of Computer Sciences Corp.'s Leading Edge Forum technology programs. "The data was archived, and it was modeled around business processes, not modeled as a broader set of core knowledge for the enterprise. The mantra is this shift from collecting to connecting."
IT is standing at the forefront of this data revolution, industry observers say.
"This is an opportunity to walk into the CEO's office and say, 'I can change this business and provide knowledge at your fingertips in a matter of seconds for a price I couldn't touch five years ago,' " says Eric Williams, CIO at Catalina Marketing.
Williams should know -- Catalina maintains a 2.5-petabyte customer-loyalty database that includes data on more than 190 million U.S. grocery shoppers collected by the largest retail chains. This information is, in turn, used to generate coupons at checkout based on purchase history.
To steer organizations into the era of real-time predictive intelligence, Williams and other industry watchers say, tech managers must evolve their enterprise information management architecture and culture to support advanced analytics on data stores that measure in terabytes and petabytes (potentially scaling to exabytes and zettabytes).
"IT is always saying they want to find ways to get closer to the business -- [big data] is a phenomenal opportunity to do exactly that," Williams says.
Rather than waiting for the pieces to fall into place, savvy IT leaders should start prepping themselves and their organizations to get ahead of the transformation, say analysts such as Gartner's Mark Beyer.

Back in late January, rumblings and blog posts began to appear about what appeared to be the most ridiculous – and most genius – new restaurant concept Atlanta had ever seen: Bon Rappetite, the world's first hip-hop restaurant. Opened in East Atlanta, the website included contact information, restaurant hours, a list of upcoming events, and a menu comprised of hip-hop themed puns, like the Wu-Tang Clams or Lil' Kimchi. This looked too good to be true.
And, in fact, it was.
Bon Rappetite is the brain child of social media marketing firm Baby Robot Industries co-founders Everett Steele and wife Bunny Mcintosh. The website began as an inside joke a year earlier, the result of round(s) of beers and a list of rap-themed puns scribbled onto a bar napkin. Steele and Mcintosh emailed the joke site out to a few friends and then forgot about it.
Next thing they know, Scoutmob stumbles onto the site and posts about it, then Creative Loafing picks it up. Within days, CNN and The Huffington Post have run stories on them, their server is crashing from thousands of hits per day, phone ringing off the hook with diners asking if they take reservations, and their inside joke has its own Urbanspoon page.
Well, what was once only a joke-gone-viral has gotten a little more rizzle. Building off of the interest generated by the faux-site, Steele teamed up with co-writer Chris Hassiotis to turn the puns into real recipes and launch Bon Rappetite: The Cookbook. Now, you can whip up dishes like the Too $hort Rib Tacos or Queen LaPizza at home.
This Saturday, March 31st, Baby Robot is hosting the official Bon Rappetite launch party at the Graveyard Tavern, including free drinks from 9 p.m.-10 p.m. and performances from frequent The Roots guest MC, Greg Porn, Atlanta's BNMC, Deuce Ducartier, Small Eyez, Stealth, Rogue, Blonju and Ina Escobar, with DJ Mudfish.
The cookbook is available for purchase online for $19.99 and 10% of the proceeds go to benefit the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change. So, pick up a copy, learn how to make some Pone Thugs and Hominy or a batch of Ol' Dirty Custard, and show your support for creative hilarity.

A Tri-State woman is still shaken up after she says she was almost abducted along a busy highway.
"My heart kind of sank into my stomach," Taylor says.
Taylor says she won't be walking anywhere anytime soon. She was walking to work along Highway 66 near Walgreens in Newburgh when a man in a black car pulled up next to her.
"Said, 'Hey get in the car,' Taylor says.
She says that she said no, but he persisted and started to get out of the car. That's when she started running to Huck's gas station and called her mom.
"Just the terror in her voice. It's just so unnerving," Barbara Wilkinson, Taylor's mom, says.
Taylor got to Huck's, only to notice the man had followed her there. She got inside while her mom called the police. When authorities showed up, the man was already gone.
The sheriff says a crime wasn't committed, but it was inappropriate behavior, so they're not giving up.
"Just keeping a look out for the vehicle, going to businesses telling them if anybody sees the vehicle. Let us know," Warrick County Sheriff Brett Kruse says.
Taylor and her mother say they don't feel safe knowing this guy is still out there.
"I'm terrified that eventually he'll pick up another girl, or another little child, or he'll come back. I'm just wanting for him to get caught," Taylor says.
"He wasn't able to get my 19 year old, but I'm scared to death that he's going to actually pick up a child and take off. I don't want any mother to feel the way I felt that day," Barbara shares.
For now, the sheriff wants people to be aware. He believes that Taylor did the right thing.
"Never get into a car with a stranger. If somebody does approach you, go to a public place or somewhere where there are a lot of other people around," Kruse says.
Taylor describes the man as about five feet eight inches and in his 20s or 30s. She believes he has black hair and possibly of Asian descent. He was driving a black Toyota.
The Warrick County Sheriff's Office asks anyone with any information to contact them.

I can understand rewarding him if he turns things around without resorting to bankruptcy, but come on. Giving him a bonus worth nearly 3x his annual salary for taking the easier route and relying on a bounce-back?
I'd like to have sat through the meeting where corporate made this decision. There must be some reasoning I'm not thinking of.
I am actual suprised he gets so little money as the head of a major theme park company. I wonder what the execs at Disney, Busch, and Univesal make. I know 1.3 is alot, but in comparision to others?
It is rather sad that a board would include a clause like that in the contract. The American way I guess.
This is just another addition to some of the recent stupidity of the theme park world. Ridiculous lawsuits, rewarding laziness, and unfair copyright infringement issues. What next?

**Fall 2014 UHP Admissions Update**
The University Honors Program has closed the invitation process for fall
2014 admissions. We will no longer issue automatic or self-invite invitations to prospective students. If you are a prospective student and you have not been invited to apply, please keep in mind that there will be two opportunities to join during your first year.
If you have been invited to apply the final deadline for all applications will be on Sunday, March 16, 2014 at 11:59 p.m. EST. We will be notifying students of their admissions status on April 1, 2014.
If you have any questions about the University Honors Program admissions process, please contact our office at 919-513-4078 or by email at email@example.com.
At NC State, we're proud to have the best and brightest join us in the pursuit of learning. The NC State University application process begins online. Prospective students create an account on WolfPAW, your NC State Personal Admissions Website. A student can begin the application process once this account is created. Prospective students are allowed to start an application, save the work, and go back later to review the application and make changes to the application before submitting it. For more information about the admissions process you can contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at 919.515.2434.
Admission to the UHP is not automatic and a separate application is required. Prospective students can obtain an application one of two ways:
- Students that have been accepted to NC State and meet the following academic criteria
a. 1300 SAT score – Critical Reading and Math only and
b. 4.5 weighted/or 3.75 unweighted GPA
- Students that have been admitted to NC State and fall short of the criteria can self-invite. To request an invitation a prospective student should call the UHP office at 919.513.4078 and request an invitation.
Invitations to apply to the UHP correspond with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions notification dates. The UHP generally sends out invitations about 1 week after a notification date.
The UHP application process is electronic. Admitted students are notified through their WolfPAW account and an email alert that they have been granted access to the application. Students are issued a deadline to complete their application. Students can request an extension by contacting the UHP office. Applications are submitted via the WolfPAW account.
Each application is reviewed twice by a team of faculty reviewers and students are notified of their status on April 1.
Admission is based on the UHP assessment of your potential for exceptional academic work at NC State. We can reach this decision based on a review of SAT scores, high school grades, rigor of courses taken in high school, class rank (when available) and evidence of creativity, initiative, and aspirations for excellence.
