A small bronze statue dating back nearly 2,000 years may be that of a female gladiator, a victorious one at that, suggests a new study.
If confirmed the statue would represent only the second depiction of a woman gladiator known to exist.
The gladiator statue shows a topless woman, wearing only a loincloth and a bandage around her left knee. Her hair is long, although neat, and in the air she raises what the researcher, Alfonso Manas of the University of Granada, believes is a sica, a short curved sword used by gladiators. The gesture she gives is a "salute to the people, to the crowd," Manas said, an action done by victorious gladiators at the end of a fight.
The female fighter is looking down at the ground, presumably at her fallen opponent.

maddog goes to Rio for "Hack and Beer" and learns to appreciate the journey.
Blast Off!
The little boy behind me was really excited about his first airplane trip. When the plane started to take off, he gave a very loud countdown to "blast off!" It was refreshing to hear that much enthusiasm, particularly because air travel has become a "magic elevator" for me. The doors close in one location and open in another, but I have little excitement in the journey, only the destination.
I experienced a similar excitement with my first Arduino "Hack and Beer." Arranged by my friend Álvaro Justen in Rio de Janeiro, I must admit I was a bit dubious that anything significant would come of just one night's hardware "hacking."

Topic - Any ideas for a good first 8a that will be dry enough to climb?
Joughton on 17 Mar 2013
As the title says, I'm looking for a good 8a which will isn't soaking wet at the moment! Preferably nothing too short or bouldery, that's not too hard for the grade, and is enjoyable enough to put a lot of effort into working it.
Also suggestions for similar 7c+s are welcome, I'm based in Glossop so anywhere in the Peak, Yorkshire and maybe North Wales would be okay.
Lots of routes at Malham look pretty good and dry a lot of the year but I'm not so keen on the climbing on the Catwalk so I don't think Raindogs is for me, which is the usual suggestion, but I'd be interested to hear about 8as on other areas of the crag? Also if any thing is dry on Kilnsey or Pen Trwyn...? I'd say the Peak but everything here either seems really short and bouldery or seeping like mad.
Just to give an idea of where I'm at, I'm fit enough to onsight 7c on rock and plastic, but weak enough not to be able to climb most V6s.
Thanks in advance, Jake

You have to put it into recovery mode manually not DFU mode.
Someone got a promotion Don't drown in the pool of power.
ok so i updated to beta4
problem: i activated it through quickpwn but got no signal since im on att
tried to fix that by restoring and jailbreaking it again...now since its not activated and im not with the dev program it wont work
so? im probably going back to v2.2
unless someone can help me out
Installed SP3 + .NET Frameworks 3.5 (SP1) and still crashes instantly under XP parallels ....
so whats new in b4 i finally just upgraded to b3 like a week ago is there anything worth updating?
It keeps saying wait to connect in recovery mode. I tried puting it in dfu and nothing
You can't activate this one like we did beta 3. If your not on a dev account don't upgrade.
all i know is that they enabled some feature and are allowing mms and thethering, i think thats about it
oh yeah it should be more stable
anyways im chillin on 2.2.1 now
If so
Hold down the power button and square button until the phone restarts. Once it powers up release the power button and continue to hold the square button until you see the recovery screen
After that follow the on screen insturctions for the jailbreak
After jailbreaking 3.0, did you have to do anything to get SSH to work?
I even installed open and automatic SSH in ICY

Savage Gear 3D Craw - $8.99 to $9.99
In a market that is flooded with craw-style baits, the Savage Gear 3D Craw stands head-and-shoulders above the rest. Created from a 3D scan of an actual crayfish, its true-to-life detailing and ultra-lively moving whiskers and legs deliver a whole new level of realism. Its two air-filled claws and an air-filled cavity also further accentuate its natural underwater movement, and give it a dead-on defensive crayfish posture when at rest. And if that wasn't enough, the Savage Gear 3D Craw is also infused with iodine, salt, and a special crayfish scent that makes it even more enticing. Iodine in crawfish makes them a staple for big female bass egg development, and that is why Savage Gear infused the 3D craw with iodine, salt and crawfish scent.
To maximize the action and effectiveness of the 3D Craw, Savage Gear also developed three specialty rigging options – a Stand Up Jighead, Stealth Spike, and a Weedless Weighted Hook. Each rigging accessory is built specifically for the Savage Gear 3D Craw and Savage Gear 3D Shrimp to give them a highly reactive, lifelike movement. However you choose to fish it, the Savage Gear 3D Craw will blow you away once you see it in action.
Check out video footage of the Savage Gear 3D Craw in action by clicking on the ICAST 2013 icon below the main image.

|3D Craw
Comments: Purchased a couple packs of each size in a couple colors. The candy color is an outright fish catcher. I used them with the stealth spike and was stitching the craw over some deep rock and the largemouth and smallmouth were all over it. I want to try the stand up jig head. Very lifelike and lots of leg and claw movement even on a very slow retrieve. I will be purchasing more in the future.
From: Charlie: AZ
Comments: I agree with the first comment, too pricey for what you get (or don't get ) bought both sizes and two rigging setups. The stand up jig is no better than any shakeyhead, and the glider system just spins in the water as far as I could tell. The 4/34 inch are about $3.33 a piece, not worth the money for one or two fish per.
From: Brett: IL
Comments: poor quality bait spirals in the water when fish bite this bait gets destroyed. i caught 4 fish on the 3 pack and have no more baits. get creature baits instead they are cheaper and more durable

THE CRAYFISH HAS A SQUID AND SHRIMP SMELL LIKE KIETECH BUT NOT OFFENSIVE AT ALL. ONLY TACKELWAREHOUSE HAS THE WHOLE GAMMIT OF DIFFRENT WAYS TO FISH THIS QUAILITY BAIT TACKELWAREHOUSE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 90% OF THE BASS I CATCH GOOD FISHING GUYS TRY THESE CRAYS
From: RICHARD: MOUNTAINSIDE NEW JERSEY
Comments: would not recommend this bait it is expensive and gets destroyed on the first or second fish if you dont hook it perfectly it spins in the water over all not worth the money at all.

Earlier this year, Tom Scholz , the leader of Boston , lost his defamation lawsuit against the Boston Herald and its "Inside Track" writers Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa . Now, Suffolk Superior Court Judge Frances A. McIntyre has ordered Scholz to pay the newspaper $132,163.89 to cover its court costs, Boston.com reports.
Scholz had claimed Fee and Raposa defamed him by writing that late Boston frontman Brad Delp 's former wife Micki Delp blamed him for the singer's death.
Delp committed suicide on March 9, 2007. One week later, the newspaper ran a story referring to Scholz, titled "Pal's Snub Made Delp Do It: Boston Rocker's Ex-Wife Speaks."
Scholz claimed in his suit that comments attributed to Delp's wife were "false and fabricated." However, McIntyre ruled this past March that the Herald could not be held liable for defaming Scholz because it is impossible to know what caused Delp to kill himself.

Your MIAMI, FLORIDA RECORDING SCHOOL
While there are several Miami Recording Schools from which to choose, there is only one that gets you working inside an actual Miami recording studio as an audio student apprentice, working with the pros while you learn mixing, audio engineering, music production, live audio, electronic music-and its many sub-genres (trip hop, techno, house, trance and more), electronic DJ and post production audio. The smartest way to break into the recording industry in Miami, FL is to start inside a Miami recording studio as an apprentice–and that's where RECORDING CONNECTION comes in.
Don't make the mistake of spending 20-50 thousand dollars to learn the recording arts in a college or recording trade school, when for a fraction of that amount you can go to recording school in a real recording studio. Be smart, get on the inside track, and make vital industry contacts while learning in a real-world environment. Hands down, our recording school is the smartest, most cost efficient program on the market today.

While Miami, Florida is largely known for its gorgeous beaches and ocean views that draw vacationers from around the globe, it is also home to a very solid and influential music scene. While a diversity of genres is represented, Miami's largest contribution to the musical climate is in various forms of dance music, nurtured in part by Latin and Caribbean ethnic influences. Miami was a hotspot for disco in the 1970s, spurred on by local acts K.C. and the Sunshine Band and Gordon MacRae, then later by the Cuban rhythms of Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine. (UK band The BeeGees also migrated here.) Hip-hop, freestyle, reggae, electro and Miami Bass all have roots here, as well as modern rock forms like ska, punk and metal, and even indie and folk. Other well-known musicians and acts with ties to Miami include Ricky Martin, Flo-Rida, Jon Secada, Expose, Cat Power, and Deborah Harry of Blondie, just to name a few.
Miami's highly active music scene includes plenty of live venues and recording studios, providing plenty of opportunities for aspiring audio engineers and music producers. If you long for a career in one of these areas, Miami is an excellent choice for you–and RECORDING CONNECTION can get you close to the action in ways other recording schools can't match.
The secret to our success is our mentor-apprentice approach. Instead of placing you in a sterile classroom environment, we pair you with a real working audio professional who becomes your personal instructor, giving you one-on-one training during real recordings projects. Along the way, you'll make important industry connections that can lead to future work. In fact, over 70 percent of our graduates go on to permanent industry-related positions. Enroll in our innovative Miami RECORDING SCHOOL today, and let us get you on the path to your dreams.

PHOENIX (AP) - A Mexican man has pleaded guilty to trafficking heroin after being arrested at the southern Arizona border.
Prosecutors say 49-year-old Dario Alcaraz Vega pleaded guilty Wednesday to possession with intent to distribute heroin.
He's scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 17 in U.S. District Court in Phoenix.
Authorities say Alcaraz Vega, of San Luis, Sonora, applied for admission into the United States on Feb. 8 at the port of entry in San Luis, Ariz.
Customs officials searched his pickup truck and found more than 22 kilograms of heroin and more than a kilogram of methamphetamine in the vehicle's spare tire.
Alcaraz Vega allegedly told authorities that he was to be paid $3,000 to deliver the drugs. The heroin alone had a street value of $1.3 million.

It was a chilly day for all of those Bison tailgaters, but they weren't afraid, they crowded the parking lot before the game. Bison fans say they are dedicated to the team, even if they have to wear a couple more layers.
Just last weekend when they were tailgating in T-shirts. Instead, NDSU sweatshirts and jackets were the apparel today. Even though it was around 30 degrees while fans were preparing to cheer the team on, most fans say they didn't mind the cold, and can do all the same tailgating activities as usual.
Bison fan David Farmen says, "A little cooler, little breezier but still tailgating weather. When you're a Bison fan you're gonna do what you're gonna do, you're gonna come out here and cheer on your team."
Bison won against the Wofford Terriors, 14-7.

The up side of fire sprinklers is obvious: they put out fires. One down side, however, becomes evident in freezing weather: fire sprinklers can freeze and break, and when that happens, buildings get wet. Because most fire sprinklers are installed in commercial buildings or multifamily residences, that's where the breaks seem to happen. This December, local news outlets have carried plenty of stories of sprinkler breaks. A few examples:
Pipes burst at two apartment complexes in the Seattle area, reported TV Station KOMO (see: "Freezing temps cause pipes to burst in Redmond, Seattle").
In Napa, California, sprinklers froze and flooded several units at a senior living center, the Napa Valley Patch reported (see: "Cold Temps Burst Water Pipes at Napa Senior Community," by Ken Brenner). In Porterville, California, a sprinkler failure flooded a Baptist church, the Porterville Recorder reported (see: "Freeze has taken its toll on pipes," by Rick Elkins).
In Farmington, Utah, a courthouse was the victim, reports the Deseret News (see: "Malfunction at Farmington courthouse floods clerical area," by Pat Reavy). A heating system failure let cold air contact and freeze sprinkler heads in the ceiling of an office space, the paper reported, and as soon as the heat was restored, the frozen heads began to leak.
Even in the far North, where frigid winter weather is a given, the sudden change in seasons has brought problems. In Deadwood, South Dakota, pipes burst and leaked in several downtown buildings, the Rapid City Journal reported (see: "Sub-zero temps culprit in waterline breaks," by Tom Griffith). Reported the Journal: "Late Saturday, a 4-inch line serving a sprinkler system burst at the vacant Goldberg's building at 670 and 672 Main St. and gushed more than 100,000 gallons of water before being discovered more than six hours later. That break flooded basements of a half-dozen Main Street businesses. At 5:30 a.m. Monday, fire crews responded to the Silverado, 700 Main St., when its fire sprinkler system burst near the casino's front entrance, said Deadwood Volunteer Fire Department Chief Bill Glover. The system was quickly deactivated and water damage was minimal, he said. At 10 p.m. Monday, an alarm sounded from the closed Eagle Bar, 624 Main St., when a water line serving its fire suppression system burst. The alarm was noticed by a Lead volunteer firefighter working across the street and was quickly reported to police, said Glover."
Another pipe break flooded Stagecoach Gifts on Deadwood's Main Street, with water pouring out the windows and mixing with the fresh snow, the Journal reported.
Deadwood Fire Chief Bill Glover told the Journal, ""I have seen this many go before. It's been a while, but when it goes super cold like this, we have occupied and unoccupied buildings freeze up. Then when it warms up, that's when we get the water flow. It's unusual, but we expect it, unfortunately, with this type of weather. We hope for the best but expect the worst."

Birch Bay hockey star still going strong
Published on Wed, Apr 14, 2010 by
Jerry Huls
Read More
Sometimes he still feels numbness in his hand, a little blurry vision or an occasional migraine. These are the daily realities for Birch Bay resident Jordon Sigalet who has relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS).
In reflection, he may have experienced symptoms of the disease as much as two years before he was actually diagnosed in 2004. He didn't know because he thought they were symptoms of another condition: Being a star hockey goalie at Bowling Green State University.
"It really took a few months for the diagnosis to sink in," explained Sigalet. "I blamed it on anything I could, like a pinched nerve in my back or something related to the games I had played the few days prior to my first symptoms."
MS is an incurable, chronic, inflammatory condition of the nervous system. It is the most common, non-traumatic, neurological disease in young adults, with over 400,000 Americans affected.
Despite his diagnosis, Sigalet continued to play goalie for the Falcons. Already drafted out of high school by the National Hockey League's (NHL) Boston Bruins, Sigalet chose to accept a full-ride scholarship to Bowling Green first. There he amassed an impressive resume.
He was the first goalie in Bowling Green history to be named team captain. He finished his career there with a 34-46-16 record and four shutouts. In 2003-04, Sigalet was a CCHA first team all-star and in '04-'05 was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award for top U.S. hockey player.
After college, Sigalet expressed concern about going public with his condition. Would the Boston Bruins still be interested in their seventh round draft pick?
"It turned out that when I finally did go public, six months after being diagnosed, that they (the Bruins) were some of my biggest supporters. I went on to sign a contract, three years straight, spending time between the Providence Bruins and Boston, despite my diagnosis."
At Providence, Sigalet had an excellent 34-16-4 record with three shutouts. He was named Providence's Man of the Year for his numerous charitable efforts and was nominated for the same award in the American Hockey League.
He was called up to play for Boston six games in his career.
However, the specter of his disease did not lay dormant. In his final season with the Bruins, Sigalet had a major attack while on the ice in Providence.
The episode left the goalie in a wheel chair for a month. He did return to finish his season but, afterwards, teams were reticent to extend a contract to Sigalet, the risk now tangibly seen. So, Sigalet left to play in Europe, first in Russia and then in Austria.
"It's a lot easier on the body to play a 40 game season than the 80 game season they play over here."
After retirement, Sigalet was asked by an old friend to join him coaching goalies. Sean Murray is the founder and president of ProFormance Goalie schools and was one of Jordon Sigalet's first coaches.
"I coached him when he was 11," Murray said of his protégé, "And I could tell right away that Jordon was going to be special."
Murray has maintained a close relationship with Sigalet. He was the first of Murray's students to sign with the NHL. Since then, 11 of Murray's students have gone on to play professional hockey.
Sigalet's new role has given him an opportunity to teach aspiring goalies from Seattle to Vancouver. Sigalet, who recently moved to Birch Bay, is a Canadian citizen and a permanent U.S. resident.
His wife, Lindsey, is American. Sigalet and ProFormance will be holding a goalie camp at the Bellingham Sporting Complex on April 17 and 18.
"Hockey has always been a passion," he explained, "I want to be involved in the game in some shape or form; and teaching is a great way to take what I have learned over the last 20 years of playing hockey and sharing it with those around me. Not only hockey but what I learned about life after what I have gone through, being diagnosed
with MS."
As it is with all who suffer from relapsing MS, the prognosis for Sigalet is day to day. It has been almost six years since the episode in Providence. He is on a regimen of three weekly doses of Rebif, injected subcutaneously. Rebif is interferon beta-1a and inhibits relapses of MS.
"It wasn't easy, at first, trying to play hockey, go to school and take three injections a week as (they) sometimes have side affects. The biggest thing I have to watch out for is getting too overheated; that I get a lot of rest, eat well and take care of my body."
According to the manufacturers, the side affects can include flu-like symptoms, headache, fatigue, fevers, rigors, chest pain and malaise as well as possible depression, liver failure and anaphylaxis.
"Once I got used to the medications and balanced my life, things became a lot easier," he said
Sigalet credits support from his wife, teammates, family and friends in helping him overcome so many obstacles.
"That makes life so much easier, day to day, to the point where there are days that I don't even realize I have MS."
Sigalet's perseverance and drive has carried through to his new life as a motivational speaker and a goalie coach despite the diagnosis of MS and the possibility he may never play hockey again.
"Those are the words that have driven me and lit a fire under me. The philosophy that helps get me through every day has been that I have a tool with my hockey that can do a lot to spread awareness and raise some money for the disease.
"It always sounds cliché when people say you need to live each day to its fullest but that's how I've begun to live my life," Sigalet reflected, " I kind of treat it like it's just another game I have to win."

Boca Raton-based Office Depot had a busy year in 2013, with most of the year spent completing its $1.2 billion merger with OfficeMax. For South Florida employees, the company's December 10 decision to base the headquarters in Boca Raton was a major hurdle.
Yet the nation's No 2. office-supply company, with 66,000 employees, hasn't seen anything yet.
New chief executive Roland Smith and his team "has to move quickly," said merger specialist Laura Kozloski Hart.
The next steps and strategic moves include appointing key staff members, realizing up to $600 million in cost savings from the combination, and closing redundant Office Depot or OfficeMax stores.
Hart said typically companies that are consolidating headquarters and other operations make the painful job cuts within the first 100 days. Many of those are likely to be in Illinois to avoid relocation costs, she said.
Office Depot won't need two human resources teams, information technology staffs or other headquarters-type jobs, for example.
"You take good care of them, setting up outplacement services, and then [survivors] don't feel guilty and can focus on what they have to do," said Hart, who teaches about mergers and acquisitions for Barry University in South Florida.
The "new" Office Depot generates $17 billion in sales, based on 2012 numbers, but is struggling both to increase sales and generate profit in an industry that has shrinking demand and broader competition.
In November, Wall Street cheered the announcement of Smith, a turnaround specialist, as Office Depot's new CEO, sending the stock up 3.3 percent within a day of that selection. Smith, 59, has accomplished turnarounds at Arby's and Wendy's restaurant chains, and led restructuring at American Golf Corp. and AMF Bowling Worldwide.
But Smith and his board have a lot on their plate, with decisions that will impact more than 3,700 headquarters employees in Florida and Illinois, as well as store employees who may see some stores closed.
Hart said many of the cost-cutting decisions were likely made before Smith was named chief executive in November. The company had to know its integration costs before settling on a price to acquire OfficeMax, of Naperville, Ill., she added.
Kelly Smallridge, president of Palm Beach County's Business Development Board, said Office Depot's employment likely will be in flux for awhile. But she said the future looks bright for expanded employment in the county, now that Office Depot has selected Boca Raton as its headquarters.
"We won't know for a while what their numbers are. But with the new CEO and his ability to do a turnaround, I would think Office Depot would also grow. They certainly didn't pick Boca Raton to get smaller," she said.
Office Depot also has a 2006 economic incentives contract it signed with Florida to maintain at least 1,750 jobs in the state. In an effort to retain the headquarters, a new incentives contract is in the works, county and city officials have said.
In pitching its merger with OfficeMax, former Office Depot management led by then-CEO Neil Austrian argued the combination would enhance financial performance, increase competitiveness, accelerate innovation, and leverage employees with "deep industry knowledge."
But analysts have said they are concerned that some of those experienced employees are leaving the organization. While some key executives named to Smith's staff last week are familiar Office Depot names, many others have left in recent months. The company said it would launch a search for new top executives to oversee strategy and innovation, retail and e-commerce.
Mick Lasher, a long-time executive recruiter in South Florida, said the new CEO will be looking for the best talent available to lead the new Office Depot — not necessarily choosing from the Boca Raton staff or OfficeMax's workforce.
His selections "won't be necessarily the best of the two," he said. Smith is likely to bring in key players he has worked with in the past, he added.
And on Dec. 2, Smith did just that by hiring Stephen Hare as chief financial officer. Smith and Hare have a long history turning around companies together, at The Wendy's Co., where Hare was executive vice president and CFO; Arby's Restaurant Group and AMF Bowling Worldwide.
For consumers and store employees, decisions about real estate and store closures are likely to take some time, as leases come up for renewal. Warehouse and distribution centers also could be affected, as both companies do business across the country.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) - A second lawsuit has been filed in federal court challenging North Dakota's ban on gay marriage.
The 33-page complaint filed by Janet Jorgensen and Cynthia Phillips, who were legally married in Minnesota, says the couple is treated as "legal strangers'' in their home state. It says North Dakota's law violates the equal protection and due process clause in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Cases are currently pending in all 31 states with gay marriage bans. Last week, seven couples filed a complaint to make North Dakota the last state with a challenged same-sex marriage ban.

Is Divorce Deadly?
So many people have been killed in family massacres this week ... here are the warning signs to look out for.
There have been so many horrific family massacres this week. First in Colorado, a man murdered his ex-wife, then killed himself with a shotgun blast. In Texas, a man shot his estranged wife then himself on an Army base. In Washington, a man whose wife was leaving him shot and killed five of his children in their mobile home before taking his own life. And in Alabama, a man sought in the killings of his estranged wife and three others was found dead Tuesday.
These killings are just the latest in a long line of similar incidents. Last month, a gunman barged into a nursing home in Carthage, N.C., looking for his estranged wife. Police say he killed seven elderly residents and a nurse who cared for them.
Last Christmas Eve, Bruce Pardo dressed like Santa Claus and barged into the house of his ex-wife's parents. He shot and killed his ex along with eight of her family members.
Tragedies like this make us wonder: Can divorce be deadly?
"It's unlikely a woman would marry a man she believed to be dangerous," says Jane Greer, Ph.D., a marriage and family therapist in New York City. "In the beginning of a relationship, it's easy to ignore the warning signs of abuse and focus on the positive aspects of a person. After all, you're on a romantic hormonal high so everything he does seems wonderful."
What's more, people are not just two-dimensional. We all occasionally act in ways we're ashamed of, and nobody is perfect. And sometimes relationships go through rough patches and it can be difficult to gauge between someone behaving poorly and legitimate abuse. However, Dr. Greer says to be aware of specific signs a person is capable of hurting you.
If your spouse or ex exhibits any of these behaviors, seek help immediately:
• Explosive anger or violence (i.e.: throws objects, is physically aggressive)
• Blocks exits or hides car keys to prevent leaving
• Isolates you from family and friends or otherwise limits your contact with the outside world
• Emotional abuse (name calling, ridicule, frequent criticism)
• Disregards your feelings and has a complete focus on their own needs
"The problem is, for many women, abuse is an ongoing cycle, and even if they acknowledge what's going on, they may feel it's their fault -- especially if the aggressor has worked hard to make it seem that way," says Greer. "And because the woman thinks his behavior is her responsibility to fix, she won't take proper safety precautions."
And oddly enough, many times controlling behavior can feel like love. For instance, if your spouse complains when you spend time with your friends and family, at first it may seem flattering ("He wants me all to himself!"). However, Greer says this is a sign he wants to remove your support system so you have no one to turn to -- except for him.
If you see these warning signs, Greer says to disengage from the relationship right away. "Leave with your children, then call to let him know you won't be returning and clearly -- but briefly -- tell him why," she says. "Don't confront him in person -- otherwise, he'll likely try to stop you."
If you fear he'll track down your family, don't stay with them, but make sure loved ones know where you are and have ways to reach you.
But sometimes, there really are no warning signs. And that's the most tragic part of all.
i hope those signs can be posted as regards a woman. i have known as many women as men who exhibited the listed behaviors. what about the rash of moms killing their kids???
Funny thing is…when someone steals money from the government, ie. a bank…they WILL shoot him if caught in the act, etc…however, when a woman steals 39K from a husband (last case of a man shooting wife who he was about to divorce), then he is expected to just "take it"…go figure…
I know more abusive women to men, than the other way around…except when a woman, even on shows like Cheaters etc…hit a man, nobody stops them…when a MAN hits a woman, then it's called abuse…go figure…
How is taking money from a joint bank account stealing? That money belongs to both parties. Division of property is determined during the divorce.
I hope that whatamess is not actually suggesting that this man was justified in shooting his wife and family.
In response to Ms Greer..this is an issue that needs to be addressed. Battered women are not listened to and if they try to protect their children from an abuser many times are told by the courts that they are not fostering a relationship with the father. Until the court system is cleaned up this will keep happening. Look into the recent Connelly case in Illinois.
I live not very far away from the home where the 5 children were killed at the hands of their father. It was a beautiful spring day. The annual Daffodil Parade was happening just a few miles away from the home where these children had been left. The sad reality is this happens all the time and this woman(mom) was a victim of abuse and he still is abusing her after his death. I also have 5 children and I live and breath for my children. Taking their lives was a cruel and sadistic thing to do. It takes a lot of hatred of one person to take the lives of innocent children. These children witnessed the abuse on a regular basis and one of the children even attempted to fight off his or her fathers gun. It blows my mind that someone could be so cruel and hateful to one person to do this much damage. This poor mother will forever suffer his abuse when she wakes each and every day. She will no longer hear the children laughing while playing a game or watching a movie. She won't hear her 4 daughters or son tell her they are engaged. She will never experience formals and first dates. I cry thinking of what this woman had for so long and no longer will ever see again. My prayers and thoughts go out to each and every woman man and child that witnesses abuse in any way shape or form. GOD BLESS this MOM for everything she does in her life and may GOD provide her with peace and love of many family members. She will need it from this day on.
Very sad storey re: the five murdered children. My comment is not intended to blame the mother/victim. My prayers are with her.
Nonetheless, abuse usually doesn't just happen. There are escalating signs and incidents. I personally believe that any woman/man who has the resources to leave an abusive relationship and chooses to stay subjects their children to further abuse and is as unfit to parent as the abuser.
In representing abused and neglected children, I am constantly bombarded with the "cycle of violence" and women who continue to return to their abusers despite their escapes into safe environments. Cycles break when we make the choice to break them. Women who choose this option and subject their children to it are as abusive as the abuser. She has every right to choose a man who goes upside her head if she wants; she has no right to screw up her children because he is more important to her than they are.

Published July 17, 2009 10:29
PALERMO, Italy - Fans at the Internazionali Femminili di Tennis di Palermo will have plenty to cheer about on Saturday, as three of the final four competitors are Italian, the first time that has happened at a Sony Ericsson WTA Tour event since Bogotá in February 2007. None of the semifinalists have dropped a set all week, which should make for a competitive weekend.
On the top half of the draw Friday, top-seeded Flavia Pennetta handled seventh-seeded Aravane Rezai, 64 64. She also won their only other previous match-up, which happened to be in the first round of this event in 2007. Though never a champion here, Pennetta has enjoyed a good deal of success, having been a finalist in 2004 and semifinalist in 2005 and 2008.
Pennetta will next face fellow Italian Tathiana Garbin, a 62 61 winner over Olga Govortsova. Interestingly enough, at Bogotá in 2007, two of the three Italian semifinalists were Pennetta and Garbin, who have a 2-2 record against each other.
On the bottom half of the draw, defending champ Sara Errani continued to impress, as she recorded a 62 75 victory over Yaroslava Shvedova. The fifth-seeded Italian is now a remarkable 11-1 in main draw matches at this event, having made the semis in 2007 and again this year, in addition to her title last year. Trying to slow her down will be the only non-Italian left, Anna-Lena Groenefeld. The German was up, 4-3, on No.1 seed Patty Schnyder when the Swiss retired with a left hip flexor strain. It was Groenefeld's first victory in three career matches against her frequent doubles partner. She defeated her semifinal opponent, Errani, in their only previous match-up, in Miami earlier this year.
Also Friday, No.2 seeds Nuria Llagostera Vives and María José Martínez Sánchez and unseeded Mariya Koryttseva and Darya Kustova won to advance to the doubles final.

Massachusetts is pulling violent shooting video games from state highway rest stops after the tragedy in Newtown, CT.
It all started with a Massachusetts family who stopped at one of those rest areas and was disturbed by the violence they saw.
"You heard it first ... it was a rat-a-tat-tat," said Andy Hyams.
"A kid, teenager standing in front of a video game holding huge lifelike machine gun," said his wife, Tracey Hyams.
They had walked into a state rest stop - not a video arcade - and a video game with characters shooting against the clock was being played just outside a restroom.
"We were shocked stumbling across the scene and thought it was completely unnecessary," Tracey Hyams said.
Especially since the family was driving home from New York on Christmas Eve, passing the Newtown, CT, exit, where the tragic shootings were still so fresh.
So, describing what they saw, they sent a letter to the state requesting "this and similar video game machines" be removed. This week nine machines at four stops were replaced with more family-friendly games - a move the transportation secretary calls common sense.
"How you can raise awareness that this kind of violence is unacceptable, and one of those ways was this small token - but family brought it to our attention and it was right," said Transportation Secretary Richard Davey.
They're machines most people just pass by but for the Hyams it was a noteworthy stop.
"A little step of citizen activism it was gratifying that, that worked," Tracey Hyams said.
This issue is going national, Vice President Joe Biden has been speaking with video game creators about how they can make games less violent.

Madonna , a member of Mensa? If she is, Mensa International isn't going to confirm it.
There are reports floating around that Madonna is included on a Mensa list of celebrities who have an above-average IQ -- she allegedly has an IQ of 140. Supposedly, Shakira has a similar IQ.
However, Mensa International says it has not, nor will it, release such a list. It says in a statement , "Mensa International...would like it to be known that it does not issue lists of Mensa members to the Press or outside Mensa, nor disclose individual IQ scores to anyone. This applies whether members are celebrities or 'ordinary' members, unless it is given explicit permission by the member to do so. Nor does Mensa International confirm or deny whether someone is a member or not – that is the individual's business to disclose or not. "

Reach Out To A Woman Who Needs Support
If you haven't heard already, the woman pictured here is named Patricia Spottedcrow. She sold $30 worth of marijuana in the state of Oklahoma and was sentenced to 12 years in prison with no probation by a judge (Pritchett) who retired a month after her sentencing.
Judge Pritchett had seen several cases worse than Patricia's yet, her sentencing was much harsher on her. One case in particular, a woman (wife of a deputy) was arrested for hiding marijuana in her underwear. She apologized to the judge and served not a single day in jail.
Patricia had never been arrested for anything before and this was her first arrest & conviction. 12 years for 30 dollars worth of marijuana with no probation.
Now, most of you know that this is pretty horrendous. Sentencing a mother of four children to prison for 12 years completely hurts the children and ruins the lives of all involved.
Her kids are being taken care of by her mother now but they cannot afford to visit her.
This means Patricia is extremely isolated in prison. Her one year old doesn't even recognize her anymore.
Studies have shown that prisoner's mental health relies on support from outside of prison. Prison as many of you should know, is not the healthiest place to be. It is isolating, confining and can be a scary place to be. Especially for 12 years without probation.
Take five minutes of your time and write a letter to Patricia about anything. Support, your day (like a penpal), a poem, anything to keep her company. Send your e-mail to : firstname.lastname@example.com
-Put her name in the subject line. -1,000 words or less. -Text only. -Remember prison guards/officials will be reading through it as well.
More information about this project here.
News article and video about her case here.
A reblog with some action. Will be doing this.

Blogger Arlene Cummings of Cooking With Sugar shares a favorite recipe. Apple crisp is delicious on its own but throw in some dark chocolate, caramel and nuts and you have a whole new twist on this traditional favorite.
Here are some other fun and yummy variations to try.
Use 1/3 cup white chocolate chips, 12 caramel squares, chopped and 1/2 cup of chopped nuts.
Use 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips, 4 crumbled graham crackers, and 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows.
Use 1/3 cup white chocolate chips, 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts and 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut.
Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream. Amazing!
If you are a real chocolate lover you can add some extra chocolate chips on top of the crisp, as well as in the mix.
Prefer milk chocolate chips? Use 1/2 cup because they're sweeter than the dark.

It may not have a main event yet, but the UFC's first event on the yet to be launched Fox Sports 1 network has its first bout.
UFC welterweights Matt Brown and Thiago Alves have verbally agreed to fight on Aug. 17 at TD Gardens in Boston, according to MMAWeekly.com sources.
The event is slated to help Fox Sports 1 – Fox's new national sports network – launch on the same day. The UFC will be part of the network's cornerstone programming when it takes over the Speed Channel.
Less than two years ago, Brown (17-11) was on the verge of receiving a pink slip. Coming off of a loss to Seth Baczynski at UFC 139, he had lost four of five bouts. But his fortunes turned quickly after that fight.
Brown has since gone on to win five consecutive fights, including four in 2012.
He most recently finished highly touted Strikeforce transfer Jordan Mein, stopping him via TKO in the second round of their UFC on Fox 7 Fight of the Night performance.
More MMA
Alves (19-9), however, is in a much different situation than Brown. He has lost four of his last six fights, but hasn't fought for the past 14 months due to a series of injuries.
Alves had to have surgery for a torn pectoral muscle in early 2012. Before he could get back to the Octagon, however, his body required further repairs.
"I had to do my PCL and my ACL on my left knee," Alves told MMAWeekly.com.
His knee had bothered him since 2009, but it wasn't until trying to return from the pectoral injury that he aggravated the knee enough to finally opt for surgery.
The fight with Brown will be Alves' first since a submission loss to Martin Kampmann at UFC on FX 2 in March of 2012.
Be sure to Like MMAWeekly.com on Facebook and Follow @MMAWeeklycom on Twitter.
Finally! I've been dying to hear some news about Alves returning. This is a well deserved fight for Matt Brown. He's been very impressive since defeating Mike Swick and Jordan Mein. I really want to see Alves back in the title picture, he's still young and very talented. I've become a Matt Brown fan but I'll never go against Alves.
you've been living under a rock. He said he was going to be out after his kampmann fight
Are you always trying to talk s***?
no i don't use profanity
Alves seems to be the forgotten man of the welterweight division. I think this may be a step too far for Brown though, he's a good fighter and fun to watch but when you compare him to the top 10 ranked fighters, I don't see him winning many of those. But he's proved me wrong before though.
I don't think it's a step too far. Mein and Swick are both bigger wins than Abedi and John Howard (who Brown also beat). Those two are Alves' only wins in over 3 years. Matt Brown has 9 UFC wins in that time. I'm not saying Brown's a lock but he's certainly at a better place in his career than Alves
Absolutely, he's certainly in a better place and I agree, his wins have been over higher calibre opponents than alves' most recent. I just feel if you put brown against ellenberger, Rory, condit etc then I'd be surprised to see him win. But as I said, brown is always proving people wrong.
Well,higher calibre that Alves's most recent maybe because he hasn't fought for the last 14 months.
Looking at the numbers it may look like he's already going downhill this 4 losses were to Kampmann(After dominating Kampmann for 3 rounds),Rick Story(former top10,lay'n pray strategy involved,Fitch(on the top of his game) and GSP.
He's not someone to be underestimated,he's big,fast,has KO power and if Brown stand and trade with him I really don't see him on the winning side.
I came to like Brown a lot,seeing him as a kind of Cinderella Man,but Alves is title contention material while I think Brown still has to prove himself.
He's had a lot to deal with. Surgeries and injuries. This is going to be an exciting fight. If Brown wins it's a very big win for him and I think he should get a guy like Robbie Lawler or Koscheck, somebody up there. If Alves wins I hope he wins by TKO/KO to make a nice comeback.
war immortal one
I got Brown by KO.
This should be a fun fight. Thiago isnt in many boring fights, and i've been a fan of Browns since that vicious KO on TUF, IMO its only second to that spinning kick Hall landed this season for brutal KO kicks on TUF
Maybe thats what Brown's corner guys should do. before every fight put lemon juice in his dip and tell him it was his opponent that did it lol
Thiago Alves the man i tell u that. Go go
Alves is going to get wrecked by Brown
This is a great match up. Brown always brings the pressure and Alves is a great striker but has shown to buckle under constant pressure like in his fight against Story. Going to be Alves's athletiscism vs Brown's heart and with Alves going back from a long layoff going to be really interesting.
i was hoping for Alves vs Lawler but this is good too.
good stylistic match-up but makes zero sense as far as rankings go. 5 fight win streak vs coming off a loss? albeit a decent performance before a mental lapse
Trying to make sense of UFC matchups these days is akin to trying to figure the mentality of MMA Judges. So basically 1 + 1 = Juice

The White House opposes breed-specific legislation »
Laura's Hazel being a goof.
Though I was once again disappointed that the Obama family chose to buy a dog rather than adopt, I am pleased the White House has come out against BSL:
We don't support breed-specific legislation — research shows that bans on certain types of dogs are largely ineffective and often a waste of public resources.
In 2000, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looked at twenty years of data about dog bites and human fatalities in the United States. They found that fatal attacks represent a very small proportion of dog bite injuries to people and that it's virtually impossible to calculate bite rates for specific breeds.
The CDC also noted that the types of people who look to exploit dogs aren't deterred by breed regulations — when their communities establish a ban, these people just seek out new, unregulated breeds. And the simple fact is that dogs of any breed can become dangerous when they're intentionally or unintentionally raised to be aggressive.
For all those reasons, the CDC officially recommends against breed-specific legislation — which they call inappropriate. You can read more from them here.
Love it! You go, CDC!

Mini Travel Speaker 3 3
Quite surprised! I was trying to use these for my laptop to boost the sounds of the cd's I had purchased. But the sound was just as tinny as the laptop's speakers. Maybe if they were attached to something smaller they would work better. And I had a REAL problem with the instructions/directions on how to open the speakers. Never mind how to connect them, etc. They were obviously not native English speaking. I'm returning the Mini Travel Speakers. I'm very disappointed because everything else I have ever gotten from Travel Smith was of the highest quality. Outsourcing doesn't work folks. July 12, 2013
Something this small shouldn't sound this good I was a bit leery that this would work so well. I use it with my IPad in a small group setting occasionally and it does everything I want. It's very easy to use and very transportable. I got a big chuckle out of the instructions they were definitely written by someone who has a poor grasp of the English language and very skimpy. But this is so easy to use that it didn't matter. July 30, 2013
Decent sound It has good volume and a decent quality of sound for such a little speaker. August 3, 2013

This dissertation presents the results from the Maharishi Program for Reading Vedic Literature in the original Sanskrit, a doctoral program structured by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to evaluate the benefits on the level of mind, body, and environment from regular use of Vedic sound.
The reading program is based on a unique understanding of the nature of the sounds of the Vedic Literature as fundamental frequencies of intelligence, the laws of nature responsible for all evolutionary processes in creation, including the human physiology. The prediction that reading the sounds or listening to them enlivens the fundamental field of intelligence accessible within human awareness, which is the source of Vedic sound, was verified by the results of the practice. It was observed that results arising from the previously adopted practices of the Transcendental Meditation® technique and the TM-Sidhi® program, comprising research in consciousness, were also enhanced, with all technologies accelerating growth towards higher states of consciousness.
The author found that reading the Vedic Literature in the prescribed manner produced two broad categories of results: i) a new category comprising cognitions and insights into the structuring dynamics of Veda and Vedic Literature and the nature of reality; and, ii) a category of eight pre-existing groups of experiences, which showed marked enhancement during the research phase. These groups were: i) refined perception; ii) refined feeling; iii) cognitions of Vedic Devatā and other manifestations of the impulses of creative intelligence responsible for administering creation; iv) spontaneous right action, and experiences revealing the structuring and organizing power of natural law; v) nature support, infinite correlation, and fulfillment of desires; vi) bliss; vii) intuition and premonition; and, viii) experiences of the Self as the witness.
The integrated practice of the technologies used in this program did not obscure the results arising from reading the Vedic Literature, but analysis also revealed the contribution made by both the "eyes-closed" and "eyes-open" methods to accelerated growth during the research phase, and more details of holistic growth of consciousness. Thus, the results show the value of this integrated approach for the holistic development of higher states of consciousness.
