Below are the core areas of research interests of the CCNCTO followed by a short list of additional topics of interest. This list is not meant to be exhaustive. It is indicative. Consultation (particularly at early stages in research design) is encouraged in the case of fleshing out ideas that may align with CCNCTO agenda but which are not necessarily listed here.
Raising public awareness of the history of Chinese diaspora in Canada has been an important part of CCNCTO's programming and advocacy work. While working towards instilling knowledge of Chinese Canadian history in our own community, we also want to see changes in education curriculum, equitable hiring practices and pedagogical approaches to teaching diverse populations.
• How does an increased understanding of one's own history (Chinese Canadian history) affect identity formation and civic participation?
• How is Chinese and Asian Canadian history being represented in school curricula, libraries, events, etc?
• How does having a teacher that reflects a student's ethnic background affect learning outcomes and identity formation?
• Within the Asian Canadian community, how can we explain the gap between the value of education and the value of entering the teaching profession?
• Despite a more diversified pool of teacher candidates, who gets hired? What challenges arise for internationally trained teachers?
• What are the best practices for integrating and providing support for teachers with international qualifications and experience?
• Is there a bias towards hiring teachers of a certain profile (i.e. ethnicity, experience, language fluency)? How are biases affected by the ethnicity of those doing the hiring?
• While some parents choose to send their children to schools with a lower percentage of racialized students or to participate in French immersion, how does this type of environment affect a racialized students' identity, mental health and performance?
• What are some best practices for student and community engagement? How can community organizations collaborate with education systems to encourage civic participation?
• What kind of difficulties or challenges in learning arise for racialized students who must deal with having 'dual' identities? (e.g. Chinese Canadian, African Canadian, etc.) How can education practices acknowledge and address these challenges?
The topic of employment and labour rights was especially popular at our research meeting. The main focus was on working conditions and issues regarding difficulty finding employment for new immigrants. In July 2010, CCNCTO also conducted a survey amongst 119 Chinese workers to find out that 66% were unaware of overtime and holiday pay and four out of 10 people did not know about the minimum wage or that they are protected by labour laws even without a written employment contract.
• What are the employment patterns of Chinese Canadians? Has there been a shift? (E.g. across generations, or across political markers such as 1997)
• How can we identify, document and address workplace safety and health issues of Chinese workers? (particularly newcomers with limited English language skills)
• How are employment issues among skilled immigrants being addressed? (E.g. unrecognized credentials, requirement of 'Canadian experience')
• How can settlement policies and programs provide training to help Chinese immigrants get better jobs, in light of sectorization? How do employment rights and working conditions differ along gender lines?
• Are Chinese workers participating in unions? What is the general sentiment of Chinese workers towards unions?
• How can the under-representation of Chinese professionals in companies and other agencies be addressed? In what fields are Chinese workers experiencing the greatest barriers to promotion?
• What is the gap between academic and professional achievements? How does employment equity legislation impact outcomes? (i.e. banking vs. unregulated sectors)
Engagement at CCNCTO has come to mean the inclusive civic engagement of Chinese Canadians living in Toronto. In our outreach and programming, we have interacted and worked with populations including youth from ages 14 to 30, parents, women, workers and seniors. Projects and events in the past have included voter education sessions, a senior peer research study and high school youth-led projects to raise awareness about the Chinese Head Tax and Exclusion Act.
• How are interests in community or political engagement of the Chinese community segmented according to demographics (e.g. language – Mandarin/Cantonese, workers, business people, professionals)?
• How can we develop leadership training grounded in the history and current realities experienced by Chinese Canadians (our community)?
• How can a community's capacity or voice be developed through civic engagement?
• What are some barriers to involvement? (E.g. language, cultural perceptions, accessibility)
• How can we address or overcome barriers to involvement to encourage leadership, especially in the political arena?
• How have Chinese Canadians (especially youth) been involved in political issues? What programs are there to scaffold Chinese Canadian youth into political engagement?
• What is the role of teachers, parents and peers on youth when it comes to civic engagement in the Chinese Canadian community?
• What are "best practices" for civic engagement? How do such community/civic engagement benefit individuals or the community? What are some longitudinal impacts of civic engagement programs for Chinese Canadians?
• How does gender factor into civic engagement? Is there a difference in interests and assumed roles?
• Are newcomer volunteers being exploited at the expense of gaining "Canadian experience?"
Generation Gap
Another topic that came about related to the diversity of the Chinese Canadian population in Toronto was the generational differences, gaps and similarities between 1st, 1.5 and 2nd generation Chinese Canadians.
• What is the role of language or how does language operate in inter-generational communication or groups from different origins? (e.g. China, Taiwan, other Chinese diaspora)
• How can we look at the generation and cultural gaps within the Chinese Canadian population?
• What are the specific/general difficulties in learning Chinese as a second language for 1.5 and 2nd generation Chinese Canadians?
• At what point or generation does a member of the Chinese diaspora in Canada 'feel' Canadian?
• How does the generation/culture/language gap affect family dynamics, roles, etc.?
Most of our discussion related to health pertained to the stigma around mental health in the Chinese Canadian community.
• What is the role or potential of Chinese medicine in achieving community health?
• How is the practice of Chinese medicine being standardized and accepted by Western models of medicine?
• What are the best practices for regulating Traditional Chinese Medicine or acupuncture?
• What are the difficulties and barriers in accessing mental health services for Chinese immigrants?
• What are our communities' needs for services related to mental health?
• What are the best practices for public education on mental health?
• What are some cultural perceptions of 'traditional' therapy techniques such as talk therapy? Are there therapies that are more or less accepted as treatment?
• How can service capacities be improved by providing more culturally appropriate services?
• How do addressing cultural differences in approaches to health affect outcomes?
• What public education programs exist to raise awareness about workplace health and safety concerns for workers?
"Identity" was voted as the top research priority during our July 2010 meeting. Issues discussed included conflict within and between ethnic groups in Toronto, unity within the Chinese community in the GTA and the impact of the Sino-Canada relationship on the Chinese Canadian community.
• How are Chinese Canadian identities negotiated and talked about within the community?
• How are youth facilitating intergroup dialogue within a Canadian context?
• Can a lack of unity within the Chinese community affect integration?
• How does social justice work relate to identify formation and struggle?
• How does knowledge or learning about Chinese Canadian history:
- Impact integration and sense of belonging in Canada?
- Strengthen individual and community identity?
From Chinese to mainstream media, our participants brought up concerns about the role of various forms of media in Canada in promoting narratives of integration and Chinese as 'perpetual foreigners.' Other questions included the role of media in promoting civic engagement through raising awareness on social and political issues. At CCNCTO, discussions have also included the diversity of newsrooms and the sensitivity of journalists in covering so-called 'ethnic' issues in mainstream media.
• How can we strengthen connections between Chinese media and the local/mainstream community? (E.g. With community agencies, across media outlets and mediums)
• How to strengthen Chinese media connections, e.g. within their own, with external agencies, etc.
• How does the popularity of Chinese and/or ethnic media vary amongst generations/age groups and on a geographical level? (E.g. Who is reading what and why?)
• What is the role and responsibility of Chinese media in increasing civic engagement?
• How does Chinese and other ethnic media relate to mainstream media? Does a relationship exist?
• What are some trends and patterns in how the Chinese and China are portrayed in mainstream media? (E.g. Explore instances of media bias and discrimination)
• How have Asians and other visible minority groups been depicted as 'perpetual foreigners' in the media? How does this affect our community?
• How has online media been used as a medium for transnational dialogue?
• Is there a bias in news presented by Chinese media (international vs. local news)? How does this affect the local Chinese community?
• What is the role of Chinese media in promoting integration?
• How can mainstream media be held accountable for publishing offensive material?
• What is the responsibility of ethnic and mainstream media in promoting human rights?
• How is online media being used by the Chinese community? How can we more effectively use different types of media such as online, social and alternative media? In what ways has social media and alternative media been utilized in Chinese/Asian Canadian activism?
Other Topics
• Patterns and growth of Chinese communities in Canada: What are the challenges and best practices?
• How have Pan-Asian communities worked together? How do these groups interact?
• What type of connection or disconnect do Chinese Canadian youth feel towards other youth? (E.g. Chinese newcomers, non-Chinese Canadians, other youth of colour)
• What kind of identity struggles do immigrant youth go through in Canada?
• After three years of "settlement", as defined by the government, what is the actual integration of Chinese into Canadian society?
• How can we collectively maintain our cultural history? (e.g. Chinatown preservation)
• Can we look at the Chinese Canadian community through a diversified lens? (e.g. women's rights, religious diversity, linguistic diversity)
• What is the role of community organizations in working towards better relationships between police and community?
• How can research partnerships between universities and the CCNCTO be documented and studied in and of themselves, so as to hone the methodology for and best-practice descriptions of university-community knowledge mobilization endeavours?

♥ Ask me stuff ♥
It's been 35 years since the Great Purges of their species' commenced. The human race has found out about their kind, eradicating them from the Earth. The coexistence of werewolf and vampire creatures alike plunged fear into their mortal hearts. The fear made the humans ally to each other, given a new enemy; them. Human people whom used to be foes now stand to together to defeat the non human creatures in order to protect their own interests.
Testing labs have been set up all around the globe with one mission; turn the foreign power in their favor. For years now, these research facilities and labs have been built solely to better understand these creatures and ultimately, drain their powers for their own use in more destruction in the world.
Although most scientists did not have much luck in their testings, some have. Few family lines of vampire and werewolf species have shown to have genes that; when tweaked and injected into human test subjects, are able to make them much more powerful and sustain much longer lives; some becoming immortal. Before testing on humans, they tested these on these said vampires and werewolves, finding out it altered them, making them much larger and stronger than they once were. These subjects were then used as soldiers for the humans, assisting them and doing their bidding. Once figuring out which family lines have what gene, they are endlessly hunted down until every last descendant of that name is captured. The rest of the "non important" creatures of the species are forced into a lifetime of serving the enemy.
Because of this, the non human species fought back. Tradition werewolf packs and vampire covens became resistance groups, growing larger in numbers each day. Their objective is simple; reclaiming the world that once was theirs by means of whatever is necessary. Not all non human creatures joined though, some believing this would blow over simply didn't join the movement and carried on with their lives as their people suffered.
The most well known resistance groups is in fact the Hiei Coven, with The Liberator, herself, Calypso Miron, once she became aware of this. After her formation coven, other preexisting covens and packs joined her, seven more in total. The leaders of each of these groups, referred to as The Great Eight devote their time and energy in helping their people and have led large raids and invasions on the humans, showing that they will never stop fighting for survival.
The Nykterída (Vampires) and Lykánthro̱pos (Werewolves) have history together, although how they both work hard together to eradicate the human altered creature threat, these Greek originated species were not always so kind to one another. Long, long ago, the Nykterída were a dying species. They were being killed off by other vampires as well as other werewolves; and other species of the supernatural poked their fun at them too. Their race was on the road of extinction. They used to be weak and feeble, unable to protect themselves and unable to fight back to their oppressors. The Lykánthro̱pos werewolves saw this and decided to help the species and protect them. Many volunteered to teach them how to fight and protect themselves, as well as relocate them to places with large human populations to reproduce. Some even allowed themselves to become protectors to them and making sure that the vampires would never have to worry for their lives. And the plan worked, soon the Nykterída thrived, growing larger and stronger in numbers. This new found strength made the humans they turned stronger, much stronger than any Nykterída they had seen.
The Lykánthro̱pos were proud of what they had accomplished and most Nykterída were thankful for their help. As the species of vampires progressed, royalty was finally able to emerge. Few family names became more important than others due to the role they played in re-population and protecting their people. After they were developed, a larger council was assembled and they would vote on who would lead their kind. Viktor Corvinus was the head of this council for centuries but alas, was only a figurehead. His family, brothers and sisters used him as a puppet in order to get their way. The corruption spread like a virus and other families tried to get their way through the representatives they chose to speak for them at council meetings. Some of these families did not bother to continue on in their past glories and instead took advantage of the Lykánthro̱pos that had trained and protected them for so long. They hired these werewolves to protect them, as well as any offspring the newborn Nykterída were able to create. This then became a trend and easy way out for protection, hiring these kind werewolves to stay by their sides for their lifetimes and serve them until death. And since the royalty started it, the commoners followed the trend.
This got so extreme to the point in which the Nykterída, royal or not would press false charges on their Lykánthro̱pos, such as accusing them of stealing family heirlooms or conceiving hybrid "mutant freak" children with their kin as they did their jobs. All charges were found to be true and these innocent creatures were forced into slavery for these Nykterída families as punishment for their crimes. Lykánthro̱pos became a minority group to the newly powerful vampire species and many of them fell into slavery and servitude. Few royal Lykánthro̱pos families did not however. Families such as the Mavros, Artino, Rokos, & Kellis saw what was happening to their people and vividly acted against it. Sir Alexander Mavros was a major figure in helping his people free from the selfish vampires that they desperately tried to save not too long ago. He also gained the support of few caring and appreciative Nykterída families those Lykánthro̱pos helped and protected, such as the Miron, Rella, Pavlis, & Nasso, respectively. Sir Mavros led a war against the abusive Nykterída in order to free his people which lasted several bloody decades until he finally won freedom for his fellow Lykánthro̱pos.
Today, both species generally view each other as equals, although some Nykterída royals believe that they still own the Lykánthro̱pos and should not have had to give them their freedom. After the Great Purges, both species had tried to settle their differences to focus on the new threat the humans have created to exterminate them both but their past leaves them both equally tense in doing so.
Along with the human attacks on these non human species, crisis is slowly starting to unwind. The Corvinus', the most influential Nykterída royal family, is plotting a coup d'état against the current rule of their people. After the Purges, there was no way for the vampires to continue their government of the Entolí after the humans had slaughtered the representatives and burned the institution down, destroying all Corvinus influence in politics. This thus started the rise of an almost totalitarian, coven society. This method of government proved effective, loyalty to coven life was established and the units dedicated themselves to their new form of government. Harboring socialism elements, the members of the government treated their people as egalitarian as possible. There was no such thing as racism, sexism, homophobia, or hatred among the governmental officials and everyone was viewed upon as equals; no one was better than the other. This makes the Corvinus' want their power back and to get rid of such an abominable form of rule.
Of course, this has its faults. The coven leaders are revered and held high up with dignity. However, after the rule of Issac Miron and his diabolical scheme of slaughtering millions of others who didn't share his beliefs, the leaders were checked and balanced by councils. They didn't have the final say in decisions but they were used to influence a leader's thought. A movement is undergoing to separate the council and leadership so that they are independent of one another and each has power in the coven government. If you are a royal at this time, you still have more privilege. You are usually accepted into the safe haven of a coven, regardless of weakness or ability. However, some coven leaders step over this rule and it doesn't apply in their initiations.
To the Corvinus' the coup d'état is simple; let the humans slaughter their foes and make them restore their royal power. Once the other royal families, the coven leaders, and their heirs are gone, no one would be able to assume the position of ruler and it will go back to this age old royal family, no questions asked. The only thing that stands in their way is the youth revolt that had started to spread through this family. After the brutal breakaway of Acacia Corvinus, many younger Corvinus' are following her lead. Most elders of this family are vicious, conservative, and seem not to care about their children. They aim for power and use their children like tools to achieve this. The younger crowd is outraged, disgusted with the cruel treatment and defect to coven life in vast numbers. The loss of the support of their own newest generation discredits them and makes them look like vile scum. Once they have the chance, the Corvinus; are sure to take it and end this power struggle once and for all.

A single drop of blood hits her pale hand as it moved. She was painting, like she always was. That's all she did, and if she wasn't doing that she was drawing in her sketchbook, or creating another masterpiece with her clay. But this was different today. Kylie wiped the blood tear off, although the red stained her hand once it was rubbed off. She shook her head, her hand trembled on her canvas before it was steadied again.

Update on Oilers Draft Picks, 99-03
This is Jani Rita. He led the SM-LIIGA in goals scored in 06-07, but is off to a less impressive start this season. Here's an update on each Oiler draft pick 1999-03 and how they're doing so far this season.
1999 draft
Jani Rita: 10gp, 1-5-6 with Jokerit in the SM-LIIGA. He is currently 6th in team scoring.
Alexei Semenov: Made the San Jose roster but is on injured reserve. The Sharks have started poorly with D being the apparent culprit, but Semenov is unlikely to have any kind of impact.
Tony Salmelainen: He went deep into TC with the Leafs but was sent down. He's played one game in the AHL with the Marlies.
Adam Hauser: He's in the German League again this season, playing for Mannheim. He has a .908SP in 5gp.
Mike Comrie: Having a Mark Whiten start to his Islanders career. 2gp, 4-2-6.
Christian Chartier: Remember when there was such a fuss over the Leafs possibly tampering to get his name on a contract? He's in the German League too.
2000 draft
Alexei Mikhnov: Tied for scoring lead on his team (Lokomotiv, RSL). 14gp, 5-10-15 numbers also rank him tied for 2nd in the RSL and his +7 has him in a tie for 6th in the league in that category.
Brad Winchester: Caught on with Dallas and is scoreless in 3 games. He is averaging about 8 minutes a game.
Joe Cullen: There was a time when he looked about even with Winchester, but he played over 200 AHL games without getting the callup and then spent most of last year in the ECHL. He's in a secondary German league this season and is far away from the show.
Matt Lombardi: Had his first 20-goal season in the NHL last year, and early indications are that he has impressed Keenan. He's an established NHL player, something no other Oiler draft from 2000 can boast.
Evgeny Muratov: Still playing in the RSL, he's been a in that league since 1999.
Ales Hemsky: Considering where they selected him, Hemsky would have to represent a high water mark in Oilers drafting since the mid-80s.
Doug Lynch: Playing in Austria this season, that cup of coffee with the Oilers might be it. That wrist injury derailed a very promising career.
Jussi Markkanen: .925SP in 10 games for Rita's team, Jokerit. The club is in 5th place (I believe 10 out of 14 SM LIIGA teams make the playoffs).
Kari Haakana: Finn is rolling along in the SEL.
Ales Pisa: Czech is playing for his (and Hemsky's) town team in the CZE league, Pardubice.
Shay Stephenson: Made the NHL grade last season for a 2 game cup of Joe, he's playing in Italy this season.
Jesse Niinimaki: Pointless in 5 SEL games so far this season. Key word in that sentence was "pointless" btw.
JDD: Has played 77 AHL games since turning pro and one would think he will get his first NHL regular season action this season (if ever).
Jarret Stoll: A nice player. Only concern is the concussion and he seems to be recovered from it (knock wood).
Matt Greene: He's an established NHL regular now and is in the deep end this season.
Brock Radunske: Playing in Germany this year, 8 points in 10gp for Augsburg has his tied for 2nd overall on the club.
Jonas Almtorp: He's in the AHL now and obviously somewhere between 5 and 10 on the center depth chart in the organization. A strong candidate for a 1 or 2 game cup of coffee with the big club this season.
Mikko Luoma: Already off to a nice start (4 points in 6gp) in the SEL.
Dwight Helminen: 6gp, 3-1-4 +5 for his SM LIIGA team. Helminen had a couple of nice AHL seasons.
Tomas Micka: Playing well based on numbers in the CZE league. 9gp, 5-2-7 for Praha.
Fredrik Johansson: He's in the AHL this season and would have to be considered a rung below Almtorp on the depth chart. He did a few nice things in camp though, and it'll be fun to read about him this winter in a context (AHL) we know something about in terms of NHL projection.
Marc Pouliot: He's a fringe NHL player at this point, but MacT said nice things about him yesterday. Hey, I'm a fan.
Colin McDonald: Has played 2 games in the AHL and has 2 assists. Appears to be impressing on a couple of levels and I haven't been this hopeful in a long time about McDonald. Kirk Leudeke may have been right all along.
JF Jacques: When he scores a regular season NHL goal there will be celebrating in the streets of Oilerville on a level seen only in Miami when they find out Castro is dead every Friday.
Mikhail Youkov: Still playing in the RSL, he has 3 points in 11gp so far this season.
Zack Stortini: A point a game (3-3) so far in AHL. He'll be up at some point this year.
Dragan Umicevic: 2 goals in 9 RSL games this season.
Kyle Brodziak: Here's a guy who decided to man up and work like a dog to reach his goal. Inspiring stuff. Leads the Oilers in points.
Mathieu Roy: Injured right at the end of pre-season in what can only be called bad damn luck.
Jozef Hrabel: Rolling along in the RSL again this season. Are his rights still owned by the Oilers?
Troy Bodie: Everyday player in the AHL so far this season.

Welcome to the Shapeways shop of Tom van der Zanden. I started desinging twisty puzzles in 2008. After a year of teaching myself of how to use design software and making a few puzzles using other services, I discovered Shapeways and started offering my puzzles there.
Since I am a student (at the time of opening my shop I was in high school still) I do not have much money to afford prototyping my own puzzles. However, the markup from the sales of my puzzles has allowed me to sustain making my own designs. I am very grateful to Shapeways and to the many collectors who purchased my puzzles for enabling me to make so many designs.
The items offered on this shop are "DIY kits". The include all the 3D printed plastic parts to build your own puzzle, but do not include the necessary screws or stickers. Shapeways can not currently provide these.
By default the 'white' material is seleted. If you want a puzzle with a black body you can either order the black material which is slightly more expensive, or order the white version and dye it yourself using Dylon #8 Ebony Black or one of RIT's fabric dyes.
If you do not want to build your own puzzle you can also contact me (firstname.lastname@example.com) to purchase an assembled puzzle which will be slightly more expensive than the ones from Shapeways.
Please visit my website www.tomvanderzanden.nl for more information on my puzzles!

Two explosions took place minutes apart late Thursday in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad, killing at least 20
A deadly series of attacks struck the southern Indian city of Hyderabad Thursday evening, killing at least 20 people and leaving the country in a state of high alert.
A pair of bombs exploded outside a cinema in Dilsukh Nagar, a crowded commercial area, about two minutes apart at around 7pm (930pm Singapore time). One of the bombs exploded near a bus stop while the other one went off in a packed market, making the twin blasts the worst bombing in more than a year in India, according to local officials. More than 50 others were injured in the deadly bombings.
Indian authorities immediately denounced this as "an obvious terror attack". No one has stepped forward yet to claim responsibility for the killings.
According to the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N. Kiran Reddy, the explosions were intended to incite communal violence in the Muslim populated city. Nonetheless, the India's external affairs ministry did not eliminate the possibility of foreign involvement.
The bomb blasts happened less than two weeks after the hanging of Mohammed Afzal Guru, a Kashmiri man who killed 14 people during a staged military attack on the country's parliament in 2001. The execution sparked violent clashes in Indian-ruled Kashmir, where anti-India sentiment continues to run deep.
Other than housing a considerably-sized Muslim community, Hyderabad is also one of India's major IT hubs, home to global software giants like Microsoft, Oracle and Google and second only to Bangalore.

Josh Barnett will be returning to the UFC after an 11-year absence to take on fellow former heavyweight champion Frank Mir in Milwaukee on Saturday night.
With nine wins in his last ten fights, Barnett is clearly still a force to be reckoned with in the heavyweight division. More than that, he believes he is still the champion because he hasn't lost a fight in the Octagon since winning the title at UFC 36.
"When I walk in the ring, in my mind, I'm making my first title defense. That's the way I see it," he said on a recent episode of MMA's Great Debate.
Barnett's last UFC outing was in March 2002 when he stopped Randy Couture in the second round to win a belt that he would subsequently be stripped of after testing positive for a banned substance.
Barnett went on to fight for Pride, where he faced the likes of Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, Mark Hunt and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. The 35-year-old compared Mir's career fighting in the UFC unfavorably with his own, while he competed in Japan.
"We've always been in different places, even when he was fighting for titles. No one ever took my belt from me, so I don't know what belt they were swinging around, but that wasn't the UFC heavyweight title as far as I was concerned and I was off at Pride fighting the top dudes in the world at the time."
There is no doubt that when Mir first won the belt by submitting Tim Sylvia at UFC 48, most of the top heavyweights in the world were competing elsewhere. Zuffa's buyout of Pride changed all that and Barnett is looking forward to testing himself against the division's elite.
"I've come back to the UFC and the UFC is now the premier place to be for MMA," Barnett said.
He feels that Mir is past his prime, but says he will not be taking this fight lightly.
"At this point Frank's best days have already occurred, but you can't underestimate people because you set yourself up for a downfall and I don't think of Frank as being a bad fighter. A fighter might lose ten in a row, but they got a history of winning 30 before it and any moment there could be the one fight where they manage to pull it together and come back to their championship best and it only takes one fight."
At this stage, Mir would be entitled to point out that he is almost two years younger than Barnett, but the "War Master" feels that, stylistically, this is a very good match-up for him.
"I think he's very good (on the ground). He doesn't have a very 'jiu-jitsuesque' style of grappling, but he's a big dude, explosive and I believe he wrestled high school. So when it comes to grappling, there's not a whole lot that he hasn't seen before, but when it comes to application and putting things together, I don't think he's going to be able to find training partners that grapple the way I do. If it does go to the ground, I can shut down his offense and make him pay for being underneath."
The official UFC rankings have Frank Mir at No. 6, while Barnett sits at No. 10. After fighting for Sengoku, Dream, Affliction and Strikeforce in recent years, Barnett is happy to finally be getting the recognition that comes from competing for the leading MMA promotion on the planet.
More MMA
"For quite some time after Pride folded, anyone who was in the UFC got ranked higher than me and a lot of Frank's relevancy was based on being in the UFC. I want to see how much potential there really is there by fighting him and, honestly, I don't really care too much about rankings, but you see it and you think 'this idiot thinks that?' It gives you that much more motivation when you are getting your workout done."
Like many fighters, Barnett has done double-duty in Hollywood. He was recently enlisted as a fight coordinator on the soon to be released Keanu Reeves movie "Man of Tai Chi."
For the time being, however, he is fully focused on UFC 164 and while Barnett did make some disparaging remarks about Mir's cardio, he added that he has no intention of trying to grind out a decision victory.
"I'm a finisher and I don't want to be in there 15 minutes; I'd rather be in there five or less."

War Barnett!
TITLE DEFENSE ??? He was STRIPPED from his title,,, someone tell him what "being Stipped from a title" means
In his mind, he never lost the belt as nobody defeated him for it even if he got stripped of it.
I don't like Mir's big mouth but I hope this fight won't be a clinch hold or hump fest for 3 rounds
He lost to Cro Cop x 3 and then lost to DC at SF…those were real losses.
Of course, since those fights did not take place "in" the UFC but "outside" the UFC, they don't count.
Fair enough. So, this must mean that the UFC HW belt doesn't mean much, in which case he is holding a paper belt.
Now had he beaten DC in SF, I could see some (minute) merit to this argument. But if he can't beat DC, I don't see how he can beat JDS and Cain who are on the same or higher level than DC.
But in any case, I think Barnett is just trying to be entertaining.
he has no argument because he got STRIPPED of his title for being on roids.hence the fight dident count. this guy is delusional
^^^ Likes his own comment ^^^ lol
If he didn't, nobody would.
He's just screwing around, being Josh. I wouldn't take him seriously, because he would laugh his ass off at these reactions.
Remember back when Shawn Michaels got stripped of his pro wrestling belt, but came back with a fake belt and claimed he never lost it?
You know how Barnett is a pro wrestler?
Talk ,about living in the past! Didn't Barnett win his title during the Kennedy administration? Also the fans will never forget that during his time with the UFC. He cheated with PEDS, hence belt was stripped. He cheated the fans! And most of all, he cheated himself of being the best HW he could be..
he also tested positive when he was suppose to fight fedor right? screwed the fans out of another great fight.
I like Barnett…but I'd blocked that out for some reason. Ruined Affliction 3 and a fight a lot of us had been waiting years to see. Remembering the anger now…
Mir is only collecting checks now. Barnett is going to kill him.
he lost to dc and jds so i think thats fairly forgivable but you're acting like he fell off completely. his chin isnt what it used to be but skill wise he is still good enough to beat barnett.
Mir never had a good chin.
A TUF Noob (aka someone who watched UFC after the fall of PRIDE) would say Mir has a great chin because he only got KOed by monsters.
A real MMA fan (aka those that watched UFC from the inception) saw Cruz, Freeman, and Vera fights.
So by your standards, nobody can become a "real MMA fan" ever again? You're an idiot.
not really you doomb doomb. The limits of your intelligence is no surprise.
Currently, that is the rule.
As time goes by, the rule will change.
But it is very difficult to accept someone as an MMA fan unless they've followed the sport for at least ten years.
he was never the same after his wreck, he's still like i said good enough to beat barnett.
I like Mir. But his last few fights it seems like he's trying to avoid getting hurt rather than doing anything to win. He did nothing against DC (not to take credit from DC) when I think he could have won that fight, but he was instead contented to be mashed against the cage. I dunno…
he could NOT have won that fight buddy. DC beat Silva and Barnett. I doubt Mir can beat those guys.
I have way too big of a PRIDE boner still. Bigfoot and Josh "the roid" Barnett are not as good as you think. Bigfoot only beat Browne because he popped his hammy in the first few minutes.
U dooomb arse. Browne is the dark horse of the HW division. So the sheer fact that Bigfoot as a W against Browne, and not a L, means something, although probably not enough to justifiy ranking him in the top 5.
I doubt people are overrating bigfoot the way you accuse them of doing. Bigfoot is a top 10 fighter but will never be a title contender again.
P.S. I know you have a boner for PRIDE.
Let me rephrase. Mir really didn't even try to win that fight. He knew he was clocking 250k regardless of the outcome…
Will he be able to get thru his full camp without roids?? His wins are mostly meaningless since he was roided up the whole time. That's why he left and went to Janan in the first place.
No stories about either Fightmaster last thursday or Legacy last friday. Nice going weekly. I mean weakly.
Fightmaster sucks.
You mean the title that he won while on who knows how many different types of roids…then was stripped and immediately cut from the UFC?? Barnett needs to realize that he has a promising career in the WWE and thats about it…the man can cut a promo and hypes himself up to the moon.
Although I believe he can claim himself to be the only man to single handedly close down an entire promotion due to ANOTHER failed drug test…thats definitely something to highlight on the ol' resume Mr Barnett.
Pointless fight…who cares…they are lucky its on the main card let alone the co main!
This guy is delusional. Must be nice to live in his own little world
He cuts promos like he's in the 80′s wwf. He's not even remotely close to doing a good promo by today's standards.
that's right. these days you gotta either do Nick Diaz (I am an ignorant cholo) or Chael Sonnen (I am a thick skin, shameless clown).
I would say Chael Sonnen is probably the best character we have on UFC. It is hard to beat him at this point. He has turned himself into a real heel.
Yeah they are very 80′s WWE…but thats what makes them good. I think he could do well in WWE…
Don't get cocky on the ground Josh, Mir has nasty power submissions that can get anyone if they fall into his few traps.
Should be Barnett here though.
i think Mir wins, he has consistently fought the tougher competition, and i think its gunna show
Yeah I agree.
The home court advantage is definitely on Mir's side, and you can't ignore that.
But come on. Fighting and losing brutally to tougher competition doesn't necessarily make you a stronger fighter. Mir's losses have been pretty brutal.
Just look at the amount of beating Mir took. Hell, even Big Nog dropped him.
and still broke his arm, pretty impressive if you ask me.
Nog is not a good measuring stick for greatness.
Beating Nog doesn't mean anything.
Losing to Nog means a lot.
It really depends how the fight goes, you can tell if Mir's in it or not right when the fight starts.
Ya but he gets folded up like a lawn chair when he fights someone with talent.
Hilarious . I agree with Mir about the matchup. Mir tends to be pretty candid (quite possibly too candid) about his assessment of fights, but in this case I think Barnett has a very tough challenge ahead of him. Mir is a total killer on the ground, I'm not good enough to even really see why it is that he is so good on the ground, but he has a lot of fast submissions, even when he's been hurt, the experts say that you lose technique when you're hurt, but more thorough training can enable you to have better technique even if you are hurt. It's pretty terrifying that Mir still pulled off a submission against Big Nog when he was hurt. I think Barnett needs to try to use his (presumably) better foot speed as much as possible (Mir's knees are clearly pretty f*****, it's amazing he's still fighting and ranked in the top 10 if you consider it). If Barnett thinks he has better cardio than Mir, then he might want to try to make the fight drag on as long as possible, and then try to overwhelm Mir with a flurry later on.
The winner should fight Werdum the loser Overeem so we can weed some of these guys out of the top 10. If Werdum refuses to fight Josh or Francisco then maybe the winner fights Stipe?? Jus gotta come up with some contenders!
I would love to see Barnett vs Werdum and Mir vs Overeem.
At this point, I would say Werdum beats Barnett and Mir beats Overeem.
Why isn't Reem going on TRT????? Juiced out Reem is unstoppable.
Shouldnt there be an asterisk next to Barnetts win over Couture?
yeah. I am not saying Couture could have won had Barnett been clean (the size difference between the two is too big) but Josh cheated.
Barnett is a big guy but Randy has handled big guys in the past. When Barnet was all over Randy like that I thought there was soemthing wrong. Nobody has ever manhandled randy with wrestling. Barnett was/is a great fighter though.
This fight puts two of the best heavyweight submission artist of all times in the ring together. Both of these guys have been in the top ten consistently for over a decade(with the exceptions of drug related suspensions and accident recovery), but people on here act liked this fight is a joke. Make no mistake about it, the winner of this match is in the title picture.
title contention picture.
The HW landscape has changed dramatically my friend. The UFC has all top 10 HWs.
Wonder if PEDS affected his ability to reason
As a fan of the sport, i dont like Barnett's behaviour at all. He 's saying some stupid shit that doesnt make sense. I guess the roids f***** his brain a little bit.
I hope Mir wins!
Josh was stripped of his title yet Tim Sylvia got to keep his when he tested positive. That's some UFC math for ya.
Sylvia was stripped of the title. The belt was vacant when he fought Mir at UFC 48. Had Barnett stayed in the UFC after UFC 36 vs. heading to Japan, he probably would've gotten the same opportunity Sylvia got in 2004.
I stand corrected! All this time I thought he received a suspension only.
After Barnett beats Mir, make #1 contender bout w/ Werdum/Barnett, winner gets JDS/Cain winner, then make Browne/Miocic for next shot.
Honestly, the door to a title shot is wide open for Barnett if he beats Mir. Think about it, you have JDS/Cain fighting, Werdum, Browne & Miocic. DC goin down to 205, then u have Overeem, Bigfoot, Nelson & Mir coming off losses. If he beats Mir & maybe Werdum/Browne, he's right there
None of you people know what the hell your talking about. Josh Barnett will destroy Cain along with JDS on the way to becoming the best heavyweight ever
i hardly call the win over Randy a victory, the ref. stopped it to early, Randy was taking him a round and a half, then the 30 sec. Josh finally starts to hit back they stopped the fight. bad call.

Rack Mount Stereo Amplifier
Powerful amplifier is perfect for a variety of sound reinforcement and distributed audio applications. The ground–lift feature eases installations in situations where ground loops can be an issue, especially if source component is not located near the amplifier.
It's a tad loud - I expected that for the price - but I didn't expect a "2U" rack mount unit to be 7 1/2 inches high! That's too high by a half inch, and means I'm kinda SOL for nicely filling in the other units of my rack. And plugging that space up would be nice, as it would quiet things down a skosh. Oh, well.
Great Amp for the price. I use a lot of these Amp's and have had very few problems. Plenty of power and run at 4 or 8 ohms with no issues.
I recently buy one of this and dont disappoint me. Remember that is a Pyle, so dont spec the claimed 350W X2. This amplifier deliver about 100W to 125W RMS per chanel @ 8 ohms and about 300W to 350W RMS @ 4 ohms in bridge. Try to use balanced cables because if you use unbalance cable you never reach the maximun output. Because the nature of unbalance cables, you get about half of the power (50W RMS X2 @8ohms, 150W RMS @ 4ohms Bridge).
Used to power pair of speakers in church environment. Amplifier has plenty of head-room for larger speakers with power to spare. For the price, this thing sounds great. Runs cool; internal fans are noticable up close but in are not excessively loud. Very happy with purchase.

FDA approves robots for hospitalsMICHAEL B. Farrell
The Boston Globe | January 27,2013New York Times Photo
Colin Angle, chief executive of iRobot Corporation, stands with a mobile robot with an LCD screen for a face. It can interact remotely with an operator. iRobot is developing a version that can navigate a hospital and work remotely with doctors.iRobot Corp., best known for its Roomba vacuum cleaners, has won Food and Drug Administration clearance for a new line of robots designed to let doctors interact with hospital patients remotely.
The sleek, upright robot called the RP-VITA is designed to navigate around hospitals on its own and has a 15-inch LCD screen as a face.
It represents the early stages of a big push by iRobot into the health care market as the defense side of its business continues to contract.
The first RP-VITA robots, which would cost hospitals between $4,000 and $6,000 a month to operate, could begin appearing in medical centers throughout the country in the next few months.
We think its the beginning of an amazing new phase for the use of robots in telemedicine, said Colin Angle, chief executive officer of iRobot, which developed the robots in partnership with InTouch Health Inc., a Santa Barbara, Calif., company that is one of the pioneers in telemedicine systems.
Hospitals often use telemedicine to allow specialists to diagnose patients from long distances.
iRobot began a partnership with InTouch Health about a year ago when it invested $6 million to buy a minority stake in the company.
Today, the market is just getting started, said Philip Solis, an analyst with ABI Research in New York. Telepresence robots are seeing some use, but its still on a limited basis.
iRobots RP-VITA, which is the first FDA-cleared telemedicine robot that uses autonomous movement technology, will have to compete with a growing number of robots entering the health care market, said Solis.
You could envision a lot of different robots that can do many different things, but can the hospital afford it? Thats going to be the issue, he said.
The RP-VITA is outfitted with advanced cameras, touchscreen displays, speakers, and sensors. Doctors operate the robot with an iPad tablet, and the doctors face will appear on the LCD screen atop the robot.
InTouch Health chief executive Yulun Wang acknowledged that the steep price for RP-VITA will be an issue for hospitals, many of which are operating under increasing pressures to reduce health care costs.
But he said the technology that goes into the RP-VITA is expensive and some of the most advanced on the market. Theres just a lot more than dropping a robot off at the back dock, he said.
iRobot has reduced its workforce over the past year or so in anticipation of additional cuts in military spending, which would mean fewer sales of products such as robots designed for bomb removal.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryStaff Report Full Story

Many of my fellow libertarian bloggers take Libertarianism to the measures of a stateless society. In principle, I am an anarchist. But after calling into Stefan Molyneux's show a few times to discuss basic anarchist ideals I have decided that in practicality, anarchy would fail.
There is an ideal that believes in a stateless society that there would be multiple competing legal-system firms to include one's self in voluntarily. This type of legal system would just flat-out be a failure. I'm not sure how popular this idea is, but conflicting opinions would simply exclude themselves from certain laws that would perhaps prevent rape or murder.
This agorist theory does include free market dispute resolutions, which I think if privatized on too large of a scale would be disastrous. Having private courts be in determination of law and its practice could be detrimental to the freedom of the people and the true freedom of markets. It could turn into the situation that the Federal Reserve has always been, which would use the force given to it by the government as a private entity to keep corporations evil. It wouldn't be as big a scheme as the Fed, though, considering it wouldn't mess with our money supply. But it would be much easier for other businesses to lobby to the court-system, giving a ton of profit to the executives without actually giving fair hearing to the people who bring a claim to courts. Government must provide a strong court system, and it must be expanded to be able to handle many claims at once. With this system, lawsuits would be a more frequent occurrence simply because it would be easier for one party to hold another party liable for either a small issue or a larger issue.
I do, however, hold some principles of privatized Dispute Resolution, which includes privatized police. A privatized police force is practical and allowable, though the explanation for such a thing is for another post.
A privatized military (also existing in an anarcho-capitalist society) on the other hand would be a nightmare. This is because the military would then be upheld by shareholders looking for a profit. To start, I think the idea of a profit-seeking business in the market of murder is completely immoral. At shareholders' meetings, the company could be voted to gain profit by attacking the oil kingdoms and becoming very active around the world. Though, and here is where the second problem is found, where would the incentive be for any soldiers to take part in this? During "peace time", soldiers will be payed to sit around and do nothing; when combat comes around, there is no patriotism or nationalism and pride to motivate the soldiers to stay and fight. That's a necessary trait regarding military, and without it, you'll have a hard time finding any willing people. The whole thing would be a mess, and if you did happen to make it work, it would be pretty bad ethically.
Even if one country became an anarchist society, every other country won't follow suit, and they'll blame the entire region for mishaps and atrocities caused by this private military. This is then a liability issue for the company which would a) become so rich they buy their ways out or b) scapegoat someone else or c) use their military to defend their money-conquest. Now even though I recognize the need for a government to provide a military, the military's job should be at a minimum with a defense budget that would require zero income tax or corporate tax. The function of this military is purely defense. If we are attacked, we attack back. If we are invaded, we defend. And that's it.
As for laws for people to follow, I believe only in laws that protect a direct victim. This means rape, murder, and any crime dealing with aggression. These would be the only laws people would need to follow. The privatized police force would be of use here in carrying out their duties. All other "crimes", deemed crimes by current law, could be solved in a court or totally forgotten when the laws are abandoned.
Moving on to economics briefly. Liability is a wonderful word used to begin an explanation/justification for Austrian economics; disputes would be resolved with cases in courts, whether it is just a claim against a person or a case with need of a lawyer in response to a business' behavior. The government would not regulate business or support the person claiming a business has liability, but simply give a hearing for the prosecutor and make a decision. It's just one simple way an industry would have to keep honest as well as at a modest size; keeping liability costs lost in court low is a good thing for business, so it would be in their best interest not to screw with consumers.
I do fervently believe in a free-market. This means entirely free with zero regulations on business practices because I believe, as many libertarians do, that consumers can and will regulate the economy more effectively than government. But in an anarchist society, a business could lie about their revenues, outputs, costs, stock information, etc. I believe the only reason a business must be regulated is for a business to be totally honest in their accounting and finance reports. Giving the consumers enough information so that the free-market can regulate itself is what is needed. Corporations would then be transparent but still allowed to practice whatever they want. The argument of liability, costs for businesses, etc. would not work if the businesses had the ability to lie to the public.
As a note on my debate style: I largely take the utilitarian approach to arguing for free-markets, rather than using the Non-Aggression Principle as an argument. Logicallypositive describes the situation with the NAP the best, stating that it's usually used as an axiom and as a fact rather than a personal worldview, which is what it is.
So where do anarchists and I differ in summation?
- I advocate for a state-run defensive military, not allowed to go beyond its means other than direct defense. The budget should be low enough for funding to come only from a small sales tax. In a booming capitalistic economy, it would cover more than the military budget.
- I advocate for a state-run court system that could take many hearings a day, from small-claims to class-action lawsuits. These lawsuits would be a key-role in consumers and employees regulating the economy. Class-action lawsuits are more effective than government-supported unions which are completely immoral (also for another post). The courts may be state-run but the actual process would be a free-market process.
- The only laws on people would be those to protect people from aggression: murder, rape, etc. All other laws abolished. If there is an issue, let the courts settle it. This would eliminate jails in the country to a much smaller number (they would still exist in my ideal society, as I oppose capital punishment).
- The only regulation would be to make businesses disclose information to allow for a consumer-regulated economy.
Four very small roles of government all upheld by a small sales tax. With a complete removal of public-sector regulation, the negative effects of a mixed economy would be removed (because it would no longer exist!) Of course, with the State around, it could always come back and allow businesses to become corrupt again. This is why, by principle, I am an anarchist. We'd need government reform to prevent this from happening. Though, this would be tricky to do without also removing any voice of the people, which is imperative to society to keep around. Freedom in all parts of life is what will drive us forward, not regulation.
For my new followers since the original date of this post.

I am Deirdre and I have a really fun job of designing jewelry in my sunny Minneapolis studio. The members of my company don't come to work here each day, but I bring them with me in my heart and mind. God is my President and my family and friends are my co-workers. From them I have learned to celebrate the simple things in life, and to mark the occasions that make us who we are. From these life lessons, I design jewelry. This helps me make sense of my world and communicate to those I love. I hope my jewelry touches your life and gives you a little something for a special occasion, or a chance to remember that each day is a gift worth celebrating.

We have always respected and appreciated 11W... I could name the blogs/sites I dont if you wany :) just kidding
I wasnt offended I understood what you were saying... We held off as long as we could and once others were confirming we posted. We searched for police reports for 48 hours with no luck. Still cant find them online and ha no way to get that paper copy in Houston :)... I credit 11W for getting that hard paper proof for sure.
Myself and my editor did our best to do the right thing. We did the best we could with what we had. The staff here at 11W and Ozone were great in helping us and not stealing the info we had. Kudos to them for how they are handling this big time....
Thank You very much
