Comments about Zia 2 Tent - 2 Person, 3 Season (w/Footprint & Gearloft):
I will use the Zia 2 mainly for bicycle touring. 2 vestibule are great since we both could store panniers. Full width (elbow room) in center is really great. Fast setup. Used twice right now. First in a calm night. No problem. Second one; lots of rain. No problem too. It's a real 2 person tent. You need to know your partner to be comfortable. Very nice tent. I prefer lighter tent but at this price, it is hard to beat.

If you've ever had a hankering to run your own local radio station and happen to have about $15,000 lying around to spend on necessary equipment, our recently reopened federal government has a heck of a deal for you.
The Federal Communications Commission is now taking applications for licenses from people, schools and other organizations that want to operate a low-power FM station. Thousands of new slots on the radio dial are being opened up across the nation, including some right here in station-congested Connecticut.
(They aren't kidding when they use the words "low-power." We're talking about stations that are broadcasting at 100 watts and can only be heard up to a few miles away. Compared to giant commercial stations pumping out their signals at 10,000 or even 50,000 watts, with listening areas of hundreds of miles, these so-called LPFMs are the munchkins of the radio world.)
"In the Hartford-New Britain-Middletown market, there are as many as eight [low-power FM channel spots available]," says Sanjay Jolly, policy director for the Prometheus Radio Project. That nonprofit group has been lobbying for years to open up more opportunities for local groups and businesses to get on the local airwaves.
"In downtown Hartford, there are one or two available channels," Jolly adds. "New Haven there is one available channel."
Applying for the federal license for one of these channel slots is free, but experts say getting the necessary equipment to actually start broadcasting could cost $15,000 or $20,000.
Jolly says there appear to be no new low-power FM slots available in Bridgeport, according to the FCC's latest listing. "The closest available channel I can find is about 10 miles away in Milford," he says.
There are also likely to be more slots open in the more rural sections of Connecticut. "I know there are some more in eastern Connecticut," says Mike Rice.
Rice, a retired radio engineer and station owner and the retiring longtime president of the Connecticut Broadcasters Association, says he has no doubt there will be plenty of applicants for those newly available LPFM channel spots in this state.
"Oh ya, they're going to apply," he says of what he expects will be a mixture of church groups, schools, public service organizations and enthusiastic amateurs "who don't have a broadcasting background... but always wanted to get on the air."
Rice says it's no surprise that few if any new slots are being opened up in lower Fairfield County. He says that region is far too close to the overwhelmingly radio-rich New York City market.
The fact that any new spots along the radio dial are being opened up for little and very local low-power FM stations is the result of a battle that's gone on for more than a decade.
Traditionally, the FCC required that each radio station be at least four frequency locations (often referred to as "clicks on the dial") away from the next station. That was intended to keep one station's radio signal from interfering with another's.
Big-time radio operations, including both commercial stations and public broadcasters, were dead set against allowing any more little stations to sneak onto the radio dial. They claimed giving those stations additional slots on the dial could create interference and distortion problems for listeners.
Rice thinks radio listeners will notice some overlaps between stations as a result of the FCC's decision to open up more slots on the radio dial. "It probably will cause some interference," he says, because "the FCC is shoehorning these in so tightly."
The big shots of the radio world also wanted to reserve many of those in-between frequency locations for "translator" transmission stations designed to expand a station's signal coverage area. The bigger the coverage area, the more listeners a station can get, and the more listeners you have in radio the more you can charge advertisers.
Advocates of low-power community stations argued the FCC was simply caving in to the big-money radio powers, and that more of the public's airwaves should be opened up for community-based groups. Oddly enough, Congress agreed.
In 2011, President Obama signed a law that allowed the FCC to reduce the number of frequency locations between stations. After lengthy debates and deliberations, the communications agency decided to open up thousands of new frequency slots for LPFM operations.
The last time anyone had the chance to apply for new LPFM slots on the radio frequency dial was in 2000. Most of the low-power licenses granted at that point were restricted to the empty rural areas between urban centers.
There are currently only about 800 low-power FM stations operating across the U.S., and less than a dozen in Connecticut.

There's nothing wrong with Mr. Lunetta questioning and challenging the assertions of the REMI report that a revenue-neutral carbon fee would have positive economic benefits as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions (June 26, "The carbon tax has flaws").
The State of Islam has been declared by ISIS or ISIL. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is the leader of ISIS.
I want to give big kudos to the Santa Clarita City Council past and present, the city manager and everyone involved in making the city bike/walking/running trails the fantastic network they are today.
Once again, Councilman Bob Kellar slams his constituents by saying that many who signed the petitions to overturn the council's decision to permit digital billboard on our freeways were not fully aware of the full details of the proposal ("Billboard matter will be put to a vote," www.signalscv.com).
It's nice to see a positive article on the front page of The Signal about Shane Vereen ("Vereen brings it back," June 22).
Our city and local school districts should sue Shenkman & Hughes to force the Malibu-based law firm to stop its suits alleging bias in our election process unless they can prove discrimination against minorities.
I just wanted to point out the need to overturn the Citizens United decision of the United States Supreme Court in 2010.
On the rare occasion I see a sheriff's car in the area and can access the deputy, I thank them for their service and for driving my street, West Del Monte Drive.
I read in The Signal where George H. W. Bush, father of the infamous George W. Bush, "celebrated his 90th birthday on Thursday by making a tandem parachute jump."
Regarding the battle that is being fought on College of the Canyons' campus, I would like to take the opportunity to explain what the full-time faculty is seeking: equity and respect.
During the recent Board of Trustees meeting at College of the Canyons, several board members expressed their surprise at the landslide "no" vote on the proposed full-time faculty contract.
I appreciate Jim Holt's presence at the College of the Canyons Board of Trustees meeting last Wednesday and his subsequent article, "COC showdown" (June 12).
In regards to all the recent 20-year anniversary of the O.J. case coverage, in my humble opinion, you did not have to watch one minute of the O.J. trial. All you had to understand was intercollegiate athletics.
The latest assignment some sixth-grade students got in one of our local schools is "Atrocities committed by our troops in Vietnam."
Regarding the controversial release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, below are some of the responses of President Obama to this issue:
Congratulations to the new William S. Hart Union High School District superintendent, Vicki Engbrecht. "Inspired" is the first word that came to my mind when I heard that Vicki was to be our new superintendent.
Gary Horton's commentary "We're marching off to war again" (Sept. 24 in The Signal) was unbelievable.
Santa Clarita has been our home for 36 years and is a great community in which we are proud to be a resident.
Editor's note: The following letter is being republished due to an editing error in the earlier version.
Take a look at Robin Williams as the American flag at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_L1vLv84vs.
Jonathan Kraut's polemic on Tuesday's Opinion page needs a rebuttal.
Twice on recent Saturday nights around midnight, I had occasion to be in the area of Golden Valley High School.
This is in response to the letters to the editor from Stella Pilarski and Eugene Taylor ("Cartoon was disrespectful," "Despicable cartoon," Sept. 12 issue of The Signal).
I disagree with the gist of Rick Eaton's letter to the editor titled "Where are journalists learning their craft" (Sunday, Sept. 7). Eaton, simply, writes that our journalists on occasion make grammatical errors in their writings.
I'd like to add another thought to Betty Arenson's excellent column published Aug. 22 in The Signal entitled "California's crazy train."
Dante Acosta appears to be a genius in the practice of double speak.
The Russian Federation is not a democracy. It is a dictatorship run by Vladimir Putin.
I don't get offended often or disgusted with things you put in your paper.
Your "Drawing Conclusions" cartoon published in the Sept. 7 Signal is a despicable, depraved, gross, gratuitous insult of three deceased, widely praised artists - along with an affront to your readers.
I read Richard Myers' letter to the editor "Some solutions to the drought problem" in the Sept. 7 issue of The Signal. I have to admit it gave me quite a few chuckles.

A local high school is stepping up to a nationwide challenge issued by pop star Katy Perry. The teens made a video for her new song "Roar" and it stars a very special student.
Lyric: "I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath..."
Katy Perry's lyrics in her song "Roar" are powerful. And the image of a lone high school student, a young girl with special needs, speaks volumes.
The pretty petite blonde, the star of the show, is Megan Squire. She is a senior at Verrado High School in Buckeye.
Her friends in the broadcast class made this, hopeful to tell her story to the world.
"Megan is a very good friend of everybody's, she's just so sweet and she's pretty smart and just a really good person all around," says Clay Mueller.
Clay Mueller came up with the concept in answer to Perry's challenge to all school students to make a video to her new hit.
"It's been pretty cool the whole school has rallied behind it, I mean we've got #bringKatyPerrytoVerrado trending on Twitter."
The winning video, and there are hundreds of entries, will be judged on originality, on-air appeal, the wow factor, creativity, and capability to have a concert at their school.
Megan, who clearly demonstrates her abilities to succeed in the video, is a perfect source of inspiration to anyone who has ever felt they can't win -- "I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar."
"They [the videos] are all good but they're not original... we have a real story to be told, ours actually evokes emotion."
The school with the winning video will earn a free Katy Perry concert at their school. The students are hoping to get Katy's attention by making the hashtag #bringKatyPerrytoVerrado trend on Twitter.
So far, they're doing a pretty good job.

MATT DAMON: [Laughs.] Touché. But I knew this was the issue. It needs me, and that's where I'm going. There are a lot of people you could get water to really quickly if you just kind of engaged with it. But there's no magic bullet. It's a complex issue, so I wanted to work with the best expert that I could, and that's how I found Gary.
KATIE COURIC: Gary, I know that when you hooked up—in the old-fashioned sense of the term—with Matt, you were very impressed with his knowledge of the problem, his expertise.
GARY WHITE: Yeah, he already got the nuances, understood that we have to look at solutions that are scalable and cost-effective, and leverage resources from the bottom up. People living in poverty are already spending huge amounts of money on their water. In Haiti's tent cities, they have these little plastic sachets of water that people drink, not even half of a can of soda in volume. They bite the corner off this plastic thing, and they suck it down. That's their only option.
KATIE COURIC: Especially now with the cholera epidemic.
GARY WHITE: Exactly. The cost of those sachets per liter is 400 times more than New York City tap water. So here you have the poorest people in the western hemisphere, if they want that small safe drink of water, they've got to pay 400 times what we pay here in New York.
KATIE COURIC: So what is scalable?
GARY WHITE: That's the social entrepreneurial part of this. Our vision is the day when everybody in the world can have safe water. A year ago I sat down and said, "What are we doing today, and can we connect those dots?" A really great example of that is water credit. There are a whole lot of people of the billion that lack water who can afford to take out a microloan to get their water connection, to build their toilet. So let's get the microfinance people into the water business so that they can meet the needs of these, you know, two or three hundred million with commercial finance, not charity. And then we use the charity to the absolute bottom of the pyramid where people do need a subsidy.
KATIE COURIC: I don't mean to be dense, but can either of your guys explain it in a less macrocosmic way?

Club Field Hockey
Spirit of the Game
Being involved in a sport club combines every great part of playing a sport. We are very competitive and take games very seriously but we also do not have the stress and pressure involved in varsity sports. Everyone plays for the love of the game. "We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame."
Organizational Meeting(s)
In September, we hold our annual open meeting for new players, with information on the team and tryout dates. In the meantime, if you are interested you can Email one of the officers listed below.
The amount of players that we take varies each semester. We currently have 40 players on the roster, however, not all of the players are always active members. Many students take semesters off because of rigorous course schedules, jobs, or major requirements. Our biggest tryout and selection time is at the beginning of each fall semester. In the past, we usually have had anywhere from 30-60 players tryout and usually pick anywhere from 5-10 players to join the team. We also have informal tryouts available in the spring semester where 1-2 players are generally chosen.
The majority of our team is female, however men are encouraged to tryout. However, the league regulations state that only two male players are allowed on the field at one point (not including the goalie).
Practice Information
Practices are held three times a week at Rullo Stadium. Our practices are held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and run from 6:30-8:00 pm.
In the fall, which is our predominant season, games are held either once or twice a weekend, including tournaments. Most of the games are held within a two hour driving limit of UD, but it often takes up the whole day to play a game including travel.
National and/or Regional Affiliation
We are part of the National Field Hockey League (NFHL) , Northern Division. There are over 70 teams in the league from all over the east coast.
Membership Requirements
Any player chosen at tryouts will not have to re-tryout from year to year. Players are on the team roster until graduation unless they decide to quit the team. However, that does not mean that each player has to be active every semester. Active members are players that attend practices, play in games, and plan on being a full-time member of the team. Active players are expected to attend practice during the week and games on the weekends. Players must attend two practices during the week of a game in order to play in the game that weekend. Practice attendance will also influence playing time.
Dues are also required at the beginning of every semester. Although the amount changes each semester, the average amount per semester for each player is $40.
Equipment Required
Along with dues, players cover the cost of their uniform top and socks. Shirts are personalized with last names. Uniform kilts are property of the team and are handed in at the end of each year to be redistributed next fall. Other costs that are optional include costs for apparel such as: hoodies, sweatpants, t-shirts, and rugbys.
Players are responsible for their own equipment including shin guards, shoes, stick, and mouth guard. The club has their own cages, cones, and balls.

KHQ.COM - As waters recede and lives are put
back together following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, car buyers are urged
to take precautions when buying a used vehicle in the coming months. Although
the East Coast is far from the Pacific Northwest, flood-damaged vehicles from
Hurricane Sandy that should go to the junkyard will likely end up on local car
lots to be sold by unaware car dealers to unsuspecting
Vehicles sold with pre-existing
damage are not covered under a standard Auto Insurance policy. If you
buy a used vehicle and later discover that it was damaged from being submerged
in flood waters, your Auto Insurance will not cover the cost of needed repairs.
'flood vehicle' is defined as a vehicle that has been completely or partially
submerged in water to the extent that its mechanical components and electronic
subsystems have been damaged or destroyed," said Frank Scafidi, Director, Public
Affairs, National
Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). "Unscrupulous people buy the vehicles, clean
them up to hide the flood damage then ship them to states unaffected by flooding
to be sold as normal used cars."
scam artists also do not disclose the damage on the title document, which is a
crime called "title washing."
have to invest some time to find a reliable used car," said Karl Newman, NW
Insurance Council president. "Checking VIN numbers is a great start, but,
whenever there is wide-spread flooding, you have to take extra precautions to
avoid getting stuck with a car that falls apart around you."
If you
are planning to buy a used vehicle, it's important to know how to look for flood
damage. NW Insurance Council, NICB and the Insurance
Information Institute (I.I.I.) offer the following suggestions on how to
spot a flood car:

website for more tips. Also, the National Motor Vehicle Title Information
System offers an online tool for consumers to access important vehicle
history information.

A day after another heartbreaking loss the Tulsa Shock were on the road Monday. Not to play, but to give back and heal the hearts of some kids in Moore, OK.
Monday morning the Shock put on a clinic for elementary and middle school students who were affected by the May 20th tornado.
They gave them basketballs, jump ropes, water bottles and toys. It was a pretty amazing sight to see the kids with their new treasures.
I think the day meant just as much to the Shock players as it did for the kids.
"I love working with kids." said Tulsa Shock point guard Angel Goodrich, "Just getting to know them, see them play, having fun and being apart of something special. I makes me feel great."
"The most fun was getting my t-shirt autographed!" said Tulsa Shock Forward Jennifer Lacy, "I thought it would be extra special to help them feel like celebrities for the day. Because it really is about them and coming out here and making them feel special."
After the clinic was over the Shock players and staff toured the tornado ravaged areas where these kids went to school.

Is Tripadvisor a Good Stock to Buy?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Since its spinoff from Expedia (NASDAQ: EXPE) and becoming a public company in December 2011, Tripadvisor (NASDAQ: TRIP) is up 22%, about even with the NASDAQ. The company allows its users to access a database of reviews of hospitality providers- hotels, inns, and bed and breakfasts-as well as restaurants and other service providers.
In the second quarter of 2012, Tripadvisor's revenue was up nicely from the same period a year earlier, showing a 16% gain. However, costs were considerably higher, notably administrative costs and in particular a large increase in stock-based compensation. Net income declined as a result. To some degree this is to be expected, as the independent company now has to pay costs that were previously covered by the larger Expedia, and so cost growth over the next year should not be as high. However, even after stripping out increases in stock-based compensation, marketing costs grew faster than revenue. In addition, cash flow from operations was down.
Tripadvisor now trades at 26 times trailing earnings. Wall Street analysts think that the company is going to grow to the point where the current market cap of $4.8 billion represents a multiple of only 19 times earnings estimates for 2013. Our view is that its cost growth should slow, and that revenue is likely to continue growing, which means margins could be on the way up.
There is a good deal of interest in Tripadvisor from hedge funds, according to our database of 13F filings. Hedge funds like to invest in spinoffs because management of the new company can concentrate on improving their core business rather than serving the interests of the larger organization. Learn more about spinouts and why they often make for good investments. Andreas Halvorsen's Viking Global had the largest position in Tripadvisor at the end of June, with 9 million shares (see more stocks owned by Viking Global).
The online travel industry as a whole is expected to achieve strong growth in the coming years, and so compared to many of its peers Tripadvisor is not particularly expensive. HomeAway (NASDAQ: AWAY) is barely profitable on a trailing basis, and even looking forward to 2013 the vacation rental property website owner trades at 40 times expected earnings for that year. It grew its earnings substantially in its most recent quarter compared to a year earlier, but revenue growth of 22% was not much higher than Tripadvisor's. We don't think it is as good a value.
Expedia and Priceline.com (NASDAQ: PCLN) depend on bookings as opposed to reviews, and are larger businesses than Tripadvisor. Expedia and Priceline both trade at 17 times forward earnings estimates, however, which implies an actual discount relative to Tripadvisor's forward P/E. With Priceline in particular showing very strong earnings growth recently- up 37% last quarter over a year ago- we think it may be the best buy in the industry, and like Tripadvisor, Priceline counts many hedge funds among owners of its stock. Read about hedge fund investments in other travel companies.
Investors could also consider Yelp (NYSE: YELP) as a peer as it too operates as a collection of reviews of local businesses. Yelp is looking at unprofitability this year, but analysts expect it to break into the black in 2013. It still trades at a very high forward P/E, but the theory is that earnings growth will continue and lead it to justify its $1.8 billion valuation- about 40% of Tripadvisor's market cap, even though the latter company is clearly profitable already.
We think Tripadvisor looks to be a better buy than Yelp. However, if an investor is looking at travel-related companies, we think that Priceline offers the best combination of growth and a reasonable earnings multiple.

Police and family members gave conflicting reports Monday of an incident that left a teen dead in Fayetteville.
Police said Shaqur McNair, 16, had a stolen 9mm semi-automatic handgun in his possession at the time he was shot Sunday. Police said Monday that the gun had been reported stolen out of South Carolina in February 2012.
Officer Christopher Hunt, 27, responded to a domestic dispute call at a home on Bertram Place around 6 p.m. Sunday. Hunt was actually the second officer to respond, but he arrived at the home alone because the first officer was meeting the initial caller in a different location.
Hunt arrested the older son of Alfricka Bennett, who was accused of assaulting his baby's mother. Police chief Harold Medlock said Bennett interested with the officer and struck the officer in the head.
Medlock said Bennett, 39, then ran from Hunt as he tried to arrest her for assault and wound up in a scuffle on the ground.
Neighbor Jihya Nesmith said Bennett ran into his front yard.
"I saw her trip over my flower bed there in the front yard. When she tripped the cop told her to get down, and that's when Shaqur, Shaqur's little sister, and Shaqur's little brother tried to run up on the cop to protect their mamma," Nesmith said.
Medlock said during that time, several people who were in the yard gathered around Hunt and the woman.
They backed away when Hunt told them to move back, with the exception of McNair, Medlock said.
Medlock said Shaqur McNair didn't back off when Hunt told him to stay back.
"The young man pulled his shirt up with his left hand. There was a handgun in the waistband. The young man began to draw that handgun out. Officer Hunt fired at least three rounds," Medlock said.
But Bennett said McNair did not have a gun. And Nesmith, 15, said the same.
Hunt was placed on administrative leave after the shooting.
"He was just pulling his pants up because his hands were like this. He was just pulling his pants up, and that's when he shot him and he fell back," Nesmith said.
"They ran up to try and protect their mamma, and the cop just shot Shaqur three times."
McNair died at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center.
Bennett has been charged with assault on a government official for the assault against Hunt.
The State Bureau of Investigation is now doing an external investigation of what happened. Medlock said he has sent out a directive that his officers should not go to domestic scenes alone.

The Great Debate
Public shareholders should wield their power
- David H. Webber is a Boston University School of Law professor. The opinions expressed here are his own -
Like a well-armed, well-trained army standing idly by while the citizens it is supposed to protect get crushed, public pension funds have done little to protect public employees from the well-financed corporate attack on their rights. It's time they join the fight.
Public pension funds invest the retirement savings of public workers, with total assets of around $2.7 trillion. One out of 10 U.S. corporate securities is owned by public pension funds — in other words, owned by public employees. Skillful use of this shareholder power could swiftly and decisively push back the power of corporate lobbies and help fend off attacks on workers.
Consider an example. Last year, a senior adviser of Blackstone Group, one of the world's largest financial advisers with $111 billion in assets, publicly touted the standard line about how public employees are purportedly overcompensated. But last month, the company released an extraordinary public statement: "Blackstone's view on public employee pensions is clear and unambiguous … We oppose scapegoating public employees by blaming them for the structural budget deficits that cities and states face."
What prompted this paean to public workers from one of Wall Street's most elite institutions?  Answer: 37% of Blackstone's assets belong to state and local public pension funds. Unhappy with what it perceived to be Blackstone's wavering commitment to these workers, New York City's public-pension fund recently cancelled a meeting with the company. The Blackstone flip-flop took place right afterwards.
Blackstone is not alone in its constant pursuit of public-employee money to invest. Wall Street and the corporate elite participate in a nearly constant effort to attract labor's massive capital, with money managers hoping to profit from management fees and corporations hoping to boost share price and broaden their investment base. Public pension assets constitute an untapped source of public employee power. Here are examples of how they can start using it.
It is widely understood that corporate interests have helped fund, through campaign contributions or through donations to lobbies and other organizations, entities that support attacks on the jobs and retirement security of public employees.
Public pension funds should contact the management of these companies to oppose the use of their shareholder dollars against the interests of public employees. In a Wall Street and corporate world in which competition for state and local pension fund money is fierce, even the mere expression of displeasure without any further concrete action could obtain surprisingly effective results.
Public employees should also demand that their pension funds undertake an immediate review of the funds' current investment portfolio. The review should specifically determine if the funds invest with entities that threaten the employment or retirement security of public employees.
In the aftermath of Citizens United, in which the Supreme Court opened the door to direct corporate funding of elections, such internal reviews are imperative to make sure that public employee money is not being spent by corporations to attack public employees.
Second, for any bank or corporation or investment manager that is unwilling to stop using public pension moneys to attack public employees, fund board members and investment staff should begin assessing the viability of investment alternatives. The funds should identify investments of equal risk profile and profit potential, and consider shifting their investments, if possible, to entities that do not fund attacks on public-employee rights. They should establish policies to guide such decisions in accordance with the fund's fiduciary duties to its participants.
Imagine the impact these steps could have if taken by public pension funds across the country who manage trillions of dollars in assets. By insisting that public employees' own retirement savings not be used against them, these funds could make sure that their shareholder dollars are not being abused for political purposes, but are being invested towards companies that are focused on pursuing profits and increasing shareholder value.
Public employees have been unfairly attacked by well-funded antagonists. It's time they start putting their own money to work in the fight for their rights.
Yes, of course. Excellent! And if the pension funds don't want to fight for the public workers whose funds they manage the management should be replaced.

In fact one GB has them for his picture. I used all thru highschool and else where. you can put them on the edge of an envelope with some little bumps looking like fingers peaking over the edge. That is why I separate them from my name. Use a little imgination and they look like the moon eyes to me. Hehehe. d.

Gilbert Melendez has long been considered one of the top light fighters on the planet. Fighting outside the UFC, however, he never had the opportunity to try and prove he was thee best lightweight.
The outgoing Strikeforce champion, Melendez was granted that opportunity at UFC on Fox 7 on Saturday night at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif., when he challenged UFC champion Benson Henderson.
Unfortunately for Melendez, he came about as close as a fighter could get to the title without taking it.
Neither man dominated the fight, but Melendez started off strong early, often dictating the pace, fending off Henderson's kicks, and frequently beating the champ to the punch.
Melendez kept pressing into round two, Henderson seemingly unable to ratchet his tempo up to its usual frenetic pace.
Once he caught on that Melendez was catching many of his body kicks, Henderson shifted gears midway through the fight, starting to go Melendez's legs more frequently, and kicking them out from under the challenger on a couple of occasions.
While Melendez kept pressing, trying to move the fight where he wanted it, and firing off his punch combinations, Henderson varied his tactics as the fight wore on. In particular, he started employing some harsh elbows that kept Melendez from going inside the champ's punching range as much.
Midway through the fourth round, the fight seemed to shift quite a bit. Henderson looked much more in command, while Melendez seemed to slow if ever so slightly.
(Click to enlarge)
In the end, the fight couldn't have been much closer, Henderson eking out a split decision victory, two judges scoring it 48-47 in his favor, one with the same score in Melendez's favor.
Henderson took advantage of his good fortune and looked to add to it after the fight, calling his girlfriend into the Octagon and dropping to one knee.
"I'm not perfect, I never have been, but you make me happier every single day, more than any man has the right to be," said Henderson before taking one last swing. "I love you. Will you marry me?"
This decision didn't sound near as razor-thin as the fight's decision, as his girlfriend immediately answered, "Yes, I will."
"It was a tough fight. We all know how tough Gilbert Melendez is," said Henderson in his post-fight interview following his post-fight proposal, but added, "There's a lot bigger things than fighting. I had to take care of one of those things just now to make sure she's in my life for the rest of my life."

I want to like Bendo…but he really needs to have more decisive title fights (except the diaz fight) ….having close decisions like this, will only hinder his credibility as a champ
I'm sure he's trying. He can hang with anybody in the world but he's just not a finisher. Even the Showtime fight was super close until the big kick. I think it's his confidence and cardio that wins over the judges in the close fights. He just never looks phased or hurt. Compare that to someone like Frankie who is in a lot of close fights but almost always looks beat up
it is true…or there are just tooo much talented fighter in lw….sooo at the championship level no one can look really dominate
it is a deep division, but wtf… why is Gray Maynard vs TJ Grant next??
plus shouldn't they be reserving a spot for Aldo, in case he defeats Pettis and wants that LW shot that will be offered if he wins?
simple, timing. aldo-pettis is all the way in august, grant vs maynard is next month.
people saying Bendo isn't a finisher are wrong. before he came to UFC, he only went to decision a couple times in his entire career.
the guys he's faced in the UFC have all been tough guys and NOTORIOUSLY difficult to finish.
1) Nate Diaz- when Bendo fought Diaz, Diaz had never been finished in the UFC
2) Clay Guida- has only been subbed x2 out of 17 UFC fights (never KO/TKO in entire career)
3) Jim Miller- when fought Bendo, Miller had never been finished in entire career
4) Mark Bocek- only been TKO'd once out of 16 fights in career.
it's true, he hasn't really flashed that huge one strike KO power, but he goes for a finish every fight, every rd. and has gotten TKOs and alot of subs.
Bendo also choked out Cowboy Cerrone in the 1st rd in WEC and Cowboy is an awesome grappler.
Not to mention finishing Jamie Varner, Shane Roller, and Anthony Njoukuani.
Get a Hair cut ……that crap looks terrible!
I now think his hair is somewhat tactically….with him waving his hair you cannot really tell if he is hurt or not…very sneaky..
it's like the opposite of guida where every shot looks like he died
Neither fighter lost this fight. Fights like this should be called draws, but I gave round 1,3 and 5 to Melendez.
Yep, I thought Gil won three rounds as well. At least people can stop talking about how weak Strikeforce was.
gil is one of those guys like frankie that fights to the level of his opponents. definitely have to give it to him for a good fight, but i disagree on scoring. i had ben everything past round 1, but i completely see how someone could score it otherwise.
Hey Joe…I like you….but if you were up Henderson's butt any farther ….we would need a 4 wheel drive to pull you out…….Chael and Brian Stann both thought melendez won the fight…..2 fights with frankie and this fight …..Henderson lost…..get a hair cut stop reading comic books….what a joke.
I agree. He was making comments like 'the champ is pulling away' and I have no idea what he was seeing. I don't like Gil and wanted to see him lose, but he got screwed on that decision.
got outstruck, dropped multiple times with kicks, and was outposititioned. close fight, but the judges got it right in my opinion.
Good decision. Bendo 3,4,5. Great fight. They'll fight again
Bendo won rounds 2,3,4.Round 5 was a toss up,judge Wade Vierra is owner of an affiliate school of Cesar Gracie geez i wonder why he scored it for Gilbert.
I had it the same as you. 2,3,4 for Henderson. I did however wonder if people live, including the judges, could tell that Ben was throwing the elbows. They were fast and even sitting close, it can be tough to see short fast strikes.
Ceaser needs to start working his guys legs out. His fighters keep looking silly hitting the mat everytime they get hit with a leg kick. It can't help on the score cards either.
had rounds 1,2 gil ben 4,5 and 3rd could have gone either way
I scored the second for Gil because all things being even, he was coming forward and landed the harde strikes. So I had 1,2,3 for Gil. I guess its how different ppl score fights. The funny thing is on my UFC fantasy pics I picked Henderson by split decision. But felt Gil won ever so slightly.
I'm a Henderson fan but I am starting to not like him.
Michael Bell was the judge who got it on the head, IMO. Bendo won rounds 2,3,4. Melendez got 1,5
The only reason Henderson won round 3 was because of the take down in the last 10 seconds, but was that a good reason? I think not.
What is the point of taking someone down just before the bell rings? They also both did the same amount of damage after the take down.
His names Ben NOT Bendo guys.. Bendo sounds sooo stupid lol Hendo works for Dan but Bendo doesn't work.. its just dumb lol Ben Henderson is the mans name.
it's an obvious play on words of dan's nickname and it works, there are higher profile concerns in this sport
Great fight, could have gone either way. They need to fight again. Only two things really bothered me about that fight:
1. The constant hair fiddling from Benson, cut that sh!t already bro!
2. The morons in the crowd with the incessant booing. Reminds me why I don't attend these kind of live MMA events any more, too many rude jackasses in the audience I have to put up with.
LOL! I was thinking…If Henderson lost, it was because he got popped while fixing his hair!!! At least braid it up next time!! It was annoying to watch!
I thought Benson was going to get the decision, but I felt it should have been a draw, if not a win for Gil. I was happy to see Gil bring it big time…I was sort of amazed at all the questions about his skill level and the "Any UFC fighter beats anyone, anytime, any day" caveman talk on forums leading up to the fight. I remember when all the Pride huggers said the UFC was the inferior organization…with the inferior fighters…I think people need to get over name brands and judge fighters based on their performances…and people need to use the eyeball test every once in a while, instead of looking for a familiar name brand, and then fabricating excuses to explain why they support said fighter from said name brand. Hope we get a rematch asap, and in the meantime, I hope Gil gets a top guy and goes from there.
It was a draw at best. Not an UFC/MMA fan but i didn't see anything in this card to make me a fan. The proposal at the end made it seem staged and delegitimized the decision between Benson and Melendez
It was a good fight! Henderson did win. I heard the other corner tell Melendez if he won the last round he would win the fight, but I felt that Henderson had the edge all along. Still looking forward to Melendez next match also.I love the way he was catching those kicks from Henderson! I like them both as athletes. Congrats on the engagement too Henderson!
You would think a champ would marry someone that looks like the ringcard girls? Ben got one ugly girl.Whew?
Ben girl have big nose!lol

More than 100 dogs and a few exotic birds were saved from a puppy mill in Colbert County.
Investigators got a tip about a large puppy mill at a home off Highway 72. Workers and deputies started rounding up the animals around 3 p.m. Tuesday and didn't finish until 11 p.m.
Workers rescued 122 dogs from the home, mostly Yorkies and Pomeranians. All of the animals are in good shape.
The Colbert County Animal shelter is currently unable to take in any new animals due to Tuesday night's rescue. Officials said that due to the cold temperatures, someone had to do something.
"Just because they have fur doesn't mean they're going to stay warm. They need a place to get out of the cold," said Judie Nichols with the shelter.
The Colbert County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate. So far no charges have been filed.

When you use Microsoft Office Access 2007, you will encounter situations in which you need to work with values that do not reside directly in your data. For example, you might need to calculate sales tax on an order, or calculate the total value of the order itself. You can calculate these values by using expressions.
To use expressions, you must first write them by using proper syntax. Syntax is the set of rules by which the words and symbols in an expression are correctly combined.
Think of it this way: when you want Access to do something, you have to speak its language. For example, suppose you want to tell Access "Look at the BirthDate field in the Customers table and tell me the year of the customer's birth." You can write this expression as DatePart("yyyy",[Customers]![BirthDate]). This expression consists of the DatePart function and two argument values — "yyyy," and [Customers]![BirthDate].
Let's examine that expression in more detail.
Tip In Access 2010, the Expression Builder has IntelliSense, so you can see what arguments your expression requires.Watch a video or try Office 2010.
As you can see, expressions in Access use a language that is, initially, a little bit hard to read. With a good understanding of expression syntax and a little practice, it becomes much easier.
There are a few key concepts that you should understand before you try to write expressions. This article introduces the concepts that you need to understand to use proper syntax, and discusses the syntax that you use in expressions.
This article does not address Structured Query Language (SQL) syntax, nor is it intended as a guide to Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) syntax.
To build an expression, you combine identifiers by using functions, operators, and constants. Any valid expression must contain at least one function or at least one identifier, and can also contain constants or operators. You can also use an expression as part of another expression — typically as an argument of a function.
Note You only have to specify enough parts of an identifier to make it unique in the context of your expression. It is not uncommon for an identifier to take the form [Object name].
Note Some functions do not require arguments.
Before you use a particular function, review the corresponding Help article for specific information about that function's syntax.
Top of Page
All of the tables, queries, forms, reports, and fields in an Access database are individually known as objects. Every object has a name. Some objects are already named, such as the Contacts table in a database created from the Microsoft Office Access Contacts template. When you create a new object, you give it a name.
The set of all members of a particular type of object is known as a collection. For example, the set of all tables in a database is a collection. Some objects that are a member of a collection in your database can also be collections that contain other objects. For example, a table object is a collection that contains field objects.
Objects have properties, which describe, and provide a way to change, the object's characteristics. For example, a query object has a Default View property that both describes and lets you specify how the query will appear when you run it.
The following diagram illustrates the relationship between collections, objects, and properties:
When you use an object, collection, or property in an expression, you refer to that element by using an identifier. An identifier includes the name of the element that you are identifying and also the name of the element to which it belongs. For instance, the identifier for a field includes the name of the field and the name of the table to which the field belongs. An example of such an identifier is found in the preceding example of an expression: [Customers]![BirthDate].
In some cases, the name of an element will work by itself as an identifier. This is true when the name of the element is unique in the context of the expression that you are creating. The rest of the identifier is implied by the context. For example, if you are designing a query that uses only one table, the field names alone will work as identifiers, because the field names in a table must be unique in that table. Because you are using only one table, the table name is implied in any identifier that you use in the query to refer to a field.
In other cases, you must be explicit about the parts of an identifier for a reference to work. This is true when an identifier is not unique in the context of the expression. When there is ambiguity, you must explicitly denote enough parts of the identifier to make it unique in context. For example, suppose you are designing a query that uses a table named Products and a table named Orders, and both tables have a field named ProductID. In such a case, the identifier that you use in the query to refer to either ProductID field must include the table name in addition to the field name — for example, [Products]![ProductID].
Identifier operators There are three operators that you can use in an identifier.
You use these operators by surrounding each part of the identifier with square brackets, and then joining them by using either a bang or a dot operator. For example, an identifier for a field named Last Name in a table named Employees can be expressed as [Employees]![Last Name]. The bang operator tells Access that what follows is an object that belongs to the collection that precedes the bang operator. In this case, [Last Name] is a field object that belongs to the collection [Employees], which is itself a table object.
Note Strictly speaking, you do not always have to type square brackets around an identifier or partial identifier. If there are no spaces or other special characters in the identifier, Access automatically adds the brackets when it reads the expression. However, it is a good practice to type the brackets yourself — this helps you to avoid errors, and also functions as a visual clue that a particular part of an expression is an identifier.
To create an expression, you need more than identifiers — you need to perform an action of some sort. You use functions, operators, and constants to perform actions in an expression.
A function is a procedure that you can use in an expression. Some functions, such as Date, do not require any input in order for them to work. Most functions, however, do require input, called arguments. In the example at the beginning of this article, the DatePart function uses two arguments: an interval argument (with a value of "yyyy") and a date argument (with a value of [Customers]![BirthDate]). The DatePart function requires at least these two arguments (interval and date), but can accept up to four arguments.
Note When a function has more than one argument, those arguments are separated by commas.
The following list shows some functions that are commonly used in expressions. Click the link for each function for more information about the syntax that you use with that function.
For a categorized list of functions, see the article Functions (arranged by category).
An operator is a word or symbol that indicates a specific arithmetic or logical relationship between the other elements of an expression. Operators can be:
Operators are generally used to indicate a relationship between two identifiers. The following tables describe the operators that you can use in Access expressions.
Arithmetic operators
You use the arithmetic operators to calculate a value from two or more numbers or to change the sign of a number from positive to negative.
Comparison operators
You use the comparison operators to compare values and return a result that is either true, false, or Null (an unknown value).
In all cases, if either the first value or the second value is Null, the result is then also Null. Because Null represents an unknown value, the result of any comparison with Null is also unknown.
Logical operators
You use the logical operators to combine two values and return either a true, false, or Null result. You might also see the logical operators referred to as Boolean operators.
Concatenation operators
You use the concatenation operators to combine two text values into one string.
Special operators
You use the special operators as described in the following table.
A constant is a known value that does not change and that you can use in an expression. There are four commonly used constants in Access:
Constants can be used as arguments to a function, and can be used in an expression as part of a criterion. For example, you can use the empty string constant ("") as part of a criterion for a column in a query to evaluate the field values for that column, by entering the following as the criterion: <>"". In this example, <> is an operator and "" is a constant. Used together, they indicate that the identifier to which they are applied should be compared to an empty string. The expression that results is true when the identifier's value is anything other than an empty string.
Note Be careful when using the Null constant. In most cases, using Null in conjunction with a comparison operator will result in an error. If you want to compare a value to Null in an expression, use the Is Null or the Is Not Null operator.
For more information about using expressions, see the article Create an expression.

UNDATED (WTVB) - Secret "perversion files" are something you would expect to be kept by the CIA, or the Mob, maybe the police department, but not by The Boy Scouts of America. The organization claims it kept records of Boy Scout leaders who preyed on children, so that once they were purged from the group, and their cases covered up, that they wouldn't be able to re-join in other cities. The cover-ups were reportedly aided by police and pastors. They document the crimes of 5,000 Boy Scout leaders and were recently used by one victim to secure a 20-million dollar judgment. The president of the Boy Scouts, Wayne Perry is offering an apology. Tom Stewart, who is now 46, charges that he was among the abused scouts back when he was an adolescent.
Kelly Clark is an attorney representing some of the scouts. He says these are not the secrets you keep. The files include 55-michigan cases, 20 in West Michigan, four in Kalamazoo, and files on individual Scout leaders in South Haven, Gobles, Union City, Lawton, Mendon, Marshall and Battle Creek, all between 1961 and 1985. More recent files were not released and neither were victim names.
