When spurned players or coaches return to face their former teams, they often downplay it as "just another game". But Hurricanes head coach Paul Maurice strayed from that script when asked about tonight's match-up against the Maple Leafs, Maurice's first time squaring off against the team that fired him in May of 2008 (TSN, TSN HD tonight at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt).
"The politically correct thing that most coaches would say is that it's just like any other game," Maurice told a morning radio show in Raleigh, North Carolina. "But it's absolutely not. It's absolutely personal. You get fired, you want to see that team lose every game for the next ten years."
Maurice later told TSN that his intent was not to be venomous and that he was pretty sure he chuckled when said the comment, which seemed to be tongue-in-cheek. Nonetheless, the 41-year-old's jabs will add an extra layer of intrigue to the game when the puck drops tonight.
The Maple Leafs come into this test on a four-game slide, while Carolina has dropped its last three contests.
The Hurricanes, who are 2-0 against the Leafs this year, have won three straight and five of the last six encounters with Toronto. The Leafs have also been defeated in three straight and five of their last seven trips to Raleigh.
In addition to losing four in a row, Toronto has dropped five of six and eight of its last 10 contests.
The Leafs were in action Tuesday against visiting Nashville and the Predators earned the shutout win at Air Canada Centre. Steve Sullivan recorded his first point in nearly two years and Pekka Rinne stopped all 17 shots he faced to lift the Preds to the 2-0 decision.
Vesa Toskala allowed two goals on 23 shots for the Maple Leafs, who have scored just five goals during their four-game losing streak. Toronto enters tonight with a goalless streak of 79 minute, 19 seconds.
The Leafs are playing the first of two straight on the road tonight and will wrap the brief swing Friday in Atlanta. Toronto is 8-12-2 as the visiting club this year and has dropped four straight road tests.
All the losses during Carolina's current skid came on a three-game road trip. The Hurricanes have been outscored 10-2 over their last two games, as they lost both tests by a 5-1 score.
The most recent setback came Tuesday in Ottawa, as Dany Heatley and Antoine Vermette both recorded a goal and an assist in the 5-1 thrashing at Scotiabank Place.
Former Senator Joe Corvo had a power-play goal for the Hurricanes, while Cam Ward yielded all five goals on 40 shots in defeat.
Carolina, which is 12-9-1 as the host this season, is back in Raleigh for just one game before beginning a four-game road trip Saturday in Buffalo.

Natural Sources Black Cherry Concentrate Unsweetened - 8 oz.
Natural Sources Black Cherry Concentrate Unsweetened is a derivative of natural black cherry juice. Natural Sources Black Cherry Concentrate is a great source of antioxidants, which help maintain balance in the body. Consuming black cherry concentrate regularly could help reduce the chance of chronic diseases, like heart disease, asthma and cancer. Studies at the University of California at Davis have shown that flavonoids, like those in black cherry concentrate, have properties that can enhance memory and mood. Antioxidants in foods like black cherries can also prevent the cognitive declines that come with aging.
Although native to North America, wild cherry trees now grow in many other countries. The bark of the wild cherry tree is used for medicinal preparations. Wild cherry syrup has been used traditionally by herbalists to treat coughs and other lung problems. It has also been used to treat diarrhea and to relieve pain.
The same compounds that give black cherries their rich color are also believed to be responsible for reducing the body's uric acid, which is one of the causes of gout pain. A study by the USDA's Agricultural Research Service shows that regularly ingesting black cherry concentrate can relieve inflammation, and with that, the symptoms of gout, arthritis and even headaches.

The parents of crash victim Patrick Vosbein drove to Pinellas County from Mississippi and Tennessee to attend a trial Tuesday only to find out Monday morning there will be no trial, at least not yet.
"That leaves me heartbroke," said Chris Vosbein, the victim's father. "I was expecting to get justice for my son."
Garrett Bruce, 32, faces a charge of DUI manslaughter that has been pending since Tarpon Springs Police arrested him more than a year ago for driving drunk and killing his passenger Patrick Vosbein who died in his mother's arms three days after the December 2011 crash.
"I promised my son when he was passing away, my hand was on his heart and I was holding his hand," said Vosbein's mother Patricia Walker. "I told him as long as there's a breath in me I will get justice for you."
Police say Bruce was driving at speeds in excess of 100mph hours after leaving his job at the Tarpon Springs Papa John's pizza store. Bruce lost control and hit a power pole while traveling 70mph. Investigators say Bruce's blood alcohol was .103, well above the .08 presumed level of impairment.
Bruce's defense lawyer says Vosbein was drinking too and wasn't wearing a seatbelt, which he believes are grounds for a reduced sentence if Bruce decides to plead guilty.
The lawyer convinced judge R. Timothy Peters he is not ready for trial and there is a chance of working out a plea deal with prosecutors and the victim's family.
Vosbein and Walker say they're not interested in any deals.
"I want the maximum guidelines for this guy," said Walker. "I want him to pay for what he has done to this family."
At the end of Monday's whispered bench conference, judge Peters announced there would be another pretrial hearing in the case October 14.
Vosbein's parents left the courtroom dejected, knowing they will have to wait longer for justice in their son's death. As of Monday there is no trial date scheduled in the case.
"It's going to be a long drive home," said Walker. "Very long."

Budget Deficit Tsunami and a Continuing Resolutions Break Wall

President San Antonio Tea Party
The federal debt continues to climb at the rate of $5 billion per day. The ability to address this catastrophic trend will take courage and imagination on the part of all elected officials in Washington, D.C. If OUR (emphasis on "we the people") political leadership doesn't take immediate and profound action soon, we could be in an irreversible flood of debt.
Continuing Resolutions (CR) now used by the majority party can be refined to do the much needed liposuction upon the body of the federal government. To this end the Tea Party supports the following tactics to assist with this delicate but demanded procedure. The following should be adopted as soon as possible in order to reduce the risk of fiscal crisis as cited by the Congressional Budget Office last July:
Each CR must contain in it the involuntary, non-compensated furlough of whole Federal departments for not less than one week. To that end it is recommended that the next CR contain a furlough for the entire Department of Labor. This will do two things; first it will save the taxpayer's money, second it will demonstrate to the public that there are federal departments that do not affect their lives whatsoever and therefore are un-needed.
The next CR should furlough the Department of Education for one week. This will prove to the public that schools don't shut down if the Dept. of Education is not at work. This should be followed by the Department of Transportation with the exception of the FAA.
With each subsequent CR a new departments or agencies must be furloughed.
Here are good examples of portions of the federal government which can be furloughed with no effect upon the health and safety of the American public:
Dept. of Commerce with the exception of the National Weather Service
Dept. of Energy with the exception of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Department of Agriculture with the exception of USDA Food Safety Inspectors
Department of the Interior with the exception of the Bureau of Mines

The apparent purchase of PlaceBase may explain why Apple required Google Latitude to be a Web-based app and not a native iPhone app.
Company has reportedly been working on its own Maps service for the next version of its iOS platform, meaning it might kick Google Maps off the operating system.
Apple will drop Google Maps for the next incarnation of its mobile OS, and use its own 3D alternative.
Apple has reportedly acquired Canada-based Poly9 and moved the majority of its employees to California. It would be the second mapping company that Apple has purchased in less than a year.
Dive into these maps
Apple has reportedly acquired a 3D mapping company, hinting it could be moving from Google Maps to its own version of the tech.
Apple's third acquisition of a mapping company has reportedly been confirmed. The buyout raises tantalizing questions about the possibility of a cartographic confection as delicious in its vividness as Apple voice-assistant Siri is snappy and sly in her query responses.
Don't call it data porn.
The company rumored to be the maker of the chip inside the iPad has been acquired by Apple. It's Apple's fourth acquisition since last fall.
A patent filed for a social-networking service called iGroups would allow iPhone and other mobile-device users to stay in touch and share location updates.

The decision resulted from a dispute over the degree of access to the site's customers.[3] AMR reversed its decision in April 2011, allowing tickets to once again be sold through the aggregate site.[citation needed]

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - Outagamie County is apparently looking for a new emergency management director.
The Outagamie County Executive's office says they will release more information later Monday, but Julie Loeffelholz is no longer on the job.
The agency came under fire following sirens failing ahead of six tornadoes which tore through the county last August.
After that, members of the Outagamie County Board ordered an outside review of the department and its response to the tornadoes.
County officials won't say if Loeffelholz was fired, or if she resigned Monday. Public Safety Committee Chair Jim Duncan told FOX 11 he's pleased with the change.
"Obviously, we concur with their decision, because, and I told them that I would say that, because back in September, we would make a recommendation that some sort of disciplinary action would be taken," said Duncan.
Loeffelholz's departure also comes a few days after another report was released. That showed her department failed to sound emergency sirens on August 7 during this severe storm, which caused $30 million in damage.
Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson says that's not the reason she's no longer working for the county. Nelson says he hopes to appoint an interim director soon.
Deputy Emergency Management Director Mike Pamperin will be in charge for now.

WASHINGTON D.C. (WTAQ) - Wisconsin farmers will keep a close eye on Washington as Congress returns to session this week.
Farm leaders hope the Republican-controlled House will follow the Senate's lead, and pass immigration reform that provides more lenient and less complicated rules for hiring workers.
Rural Wisconsin is also looking for action on a proposed five-year farm bill, which the House rejected last month despite a call for support from Speaker John Boehner. Republican members will meet privately on Wednesday to map out their strategy.
On the Farm Bill, House conservatives demanded deeper cuts in food stamps than the $2 billion they rejected.
Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid says a second one-year extension of the 2008 farm package is unlikely – thus leaving the next move up to Boehner.
On immigration, Menomonee Falls Republican Jim Sensenbrenner is among many in the GOP who oppose any pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants now in the U.S.
However, farm groups say they need an easier way to keep their immigrant workers in the fields.
A 2008 UW survey showed that over 40 percent of hired Wisconsin farm workers are immigrants.
Under the Senate bill, experienced farm workers could get "blue cards" for year-round residency. Those found to have entered illegally would have to pay fines and back taxes, and get background checks.
Another provision allows foreign guest workers with visas lasting three years. Unlike the large Senate package, House Republicans have talked about passing provisions separately.

You know how you travel up and down streets and right along with you are FedEx, UPS and other delivery trucks. Okay, now imagine looking up and little unmanned aircraft, we'll call the "drones" are doing the same thing. That's what Amazon is talking about doing with it's "Amazon Prime Air" service. The big retailer says most packages are under 5 pounds and so drone delivery would be doable.
Walt Ferar is a drone hobbyist. He builds his own to hold cameras. He's a photographer and loves what he can do with aerial photography. It's cheaper than getting up in a helicopter he says and more fun. But, right now he can't make any money that way. That's because the law allows for drones for hobbyists or public agencies but you can't make money using them.
Ferar says a company like Amazon has the resources to fund a campaign to change the law, but he wonders about the liability that they could face if a drone or a package fell. He says things happen. He's had a propeller on a 3 prop drone go bad and in a case like that the drone falls.
Clearly, safety will be an issue as Amazon and the FAA look at the commercial use drones, but there's no doubt with a company the size of Amazon a big noise has been made and the federal officials may have to listen.

Something is buzzing around the sky in Denver. It has been captured by at least two videographers and has at least one aviation expert baffled.
According to a FOX TV affiliate, KDVR, a Denver man, wishing to remain anonymous, gave the television station home video that, he claimed, showed unidentified flying objects quickly zig-zagging and maneuvering in the sky over a populated section of the mile-high city.
The man told the station that the UFOs have been appearing several times a week, generally between noon and 1 p.m., and launching and landing somewhere in the Denver metro area.
Fox 31 Denver news reporter Heidi Hemmat investigated the sightings and the video.
"He captured the images on his digital camera from a hilltop in Federal Heights, looking south toward downtown Denver," Hemmat reported. "The strangest part is that they are flying too fast to see with the naked eye."
To try and verify the legitimacy of the video, the TV station's photojournalist, Noah Skinner, brought his own equipment out to the same location from where the UFOs were first captured on camera. Hemmat says Skinner shot video between noon and 1 p.m.
When his video was slowed down, it revealed an unidentified object flying in the sky.
KDVR then turned to Steve Cowell, a former commercial pilot and FAA accident prevention counselor, to see if he could make any sense out of the mysterious flying objects on the videos.
"I can't identify it," Cowell told KDVR. "That is not an airplane, that is not a helicopter, those are not birds."
Cowell suggested that the objects could be debris raising up from the ground by atmospheric winds. He also didn't think the UFOs could be explained as bugs.
But according to DoubtfulNews.com, a blog dedicated to the unexplained, that's exactly what these objects are.
"They're bugs! Set up two cameras side by side and triangulate the distance to the object. Clearly they consulted a man in the wrong profession," according to Doubtful News writer Chew. "Get someone who has studied UFOs. Or an entomologist."
KDVR reported that both the FAA and NORAD couldn't confirm unusual activity in the skies over Denver during those noon-to-1 p.m. time frames.
UFOs, debris, bugs? Check out the video above and the individual screen shots we've provided and make up your own mind.

Pretty amazing how they are able to have the News crew go out to the same spot and catch identical footage of the spacecraft. Also .. To have an aviation expert confirm that this is nothing from this world, is equally amazing. You can't deny the evidence forever.

.... f""1 Weber State College Vol. 47 No. 51 Thursday, May 14, 1987 Grade appeals: not a delightful process Kmilie Bean SignOff Editor There are very few students who feel they have been treated fairly with every grade. Most of these problems are minor difficulties and never go beyond the student's grumblings to himself or friends. However, there are those occasions when further recourse is necessary. The college has set up a procedure for students to follow if heshe feels the grade was not a reflection of their performance in the class. As outlined in the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook Title 3 Sec tion 3.02(A), the student must first consult with the instructor. According to one dean most of the problems are solved at this level and there is no need for further proceedings. However, if the student still feels he has been unjustly treated the handbook states, "If the instructor fails or refuses to consider the student's appeal, the student may appeal directly to the department chairperson." Again, most of the problems that are not solved at the instructor level are worked out between the student, the instructor and the department chair. After the department chair level a student may appeal to a School Academic Appeals Board. According to the hand book the student must prove that, "the grade assigned was arbitrary, capricious or not based on previously announced criterion." The School Appeals Board is made of up two faculty members chosen by the dean of the school and two students chosen by the student senator for that school. Also, the dean sits as chair and votes only in the case of a tie. Both the student and the professor have an opportunity to justify their stand on the current grade. Regardless of the findings of the School Appeals Board the professor does not have to change the grade in question. This is to preserve the academic system, said one dean.

(Signpost photo: Judd Bundy) School of Allied Health Sciences If the student is not satisfied with the results of the School Appeals Board he can appeal to a College Academic Appeals Board. There are seven member of the college-wide board. Three are faculty members chosen by the Academic Vice President and three are students appointed by the ASWSC president and ratified by the ASWSC senate. The student members of the college appeals board are Paul Valenzuela, Scott Mathewson and Tod Eames. These people also sit as a panel to judge the complaint of the student. Again, the professor does not have to change the grade if he so chooses. The decision of the college-wide board is final, there are no more steps of appeal. However, one student who has just completed her final appeal with the college-wide board is considering the possibility of filing a civil suit. This student, who prefers to remain anonymous, was given an incomplete in a class without any prior notice. The space on the incomplete form where the student is supposed to sign was left blank. This student maintains that she earned credit in the class and completed enough of the classwork to deserve that credit. - She claims that the involved professor's grading practices were unfair and that there were personal biases against her. She appealed the incomplete through the system. Both the school appeals board and the college appeals board rec-comended that she be given a high enough grade to earn credit. This student is still unhappy with the results of the system and is looking for other means to get what she calls, "justice." The student in question has been asked to re-open the college appeals board hearing but said she would do so only if they college agreed to remove the class from her transcripts. Currently, the Student Rights and Responsiblities Handbook is under revision. It is still unknown what changes, if any, might be made in this area.

She has taught nursing for 17 years and served as supervisor for the emergency room at McKay-Dee Hospital before coming to Weber State College. There are two basic levels of prehospital emergency care personnel that are taught at WSC: the emergency medical technician (EMT) and the paramedic, said Draper. Ambulance personnel and police "first responders" fall into the EMT category, which is the basic level of emergency technician, she said. It takes nine credit hour classes or 120 hours of classroom training (book work and skills) to complete this level. Then a student takes an examination with the Utah State Department of Health to certify. EMT is taught at the University of Utah and Brigham Young University as well. WSC is the only agency in the state that is authorized to train paramedics, the second level of emergency care in the program. When this level is completed successfully, a WSC student is in possession of an associate degree in emergency care and rescue.

Milking a cow used to require only a bucket and a person unafraid of being kicked in the face.
Now, it takes a lot less manpower, but it requires lasers, computers, iPhone apps and computer chips embedded in cows' collars.
Kepple's Family Farm in Westmoreland County, Pa., has been using robotic milkers since 2011, when the family sold the rights to some of its 200 acres for Marcellus Shale gas well drilling, pouring the profits into the three milkers, which run about $120,000 a pop.
The Kepple family has owned the farm since 1886; it is now run largely by Jim Kepple, his wife Michelle and their son Mike, 21.
In addition to the dairy operation, the family also grows corn, soybeans, hay and alfalfa to feed the cows on the 200-acre farm and hundreds of acres of rented farmland nearby.
Despite the seemingly never-ending construction of strip malls and chain restaurants in places like North Huntingdon and Hempfield, farming remains the No. 1 industry in Westmoreland County.
Commissioner Ted Kopas said farming is "immensely important" to Pennsylvania and Westmoreland County.
"The challenge is, everyone likes to eat, but no one wants to farm," he said.
Fortunately, he said, family farms have adapted, using technology to replace some of the manpower. Westmoreland County is still dotted with livestock, dairy and crop farms.
"The fact that it remains so important shows the agriculture community has adapted to the changing times," Kopas said.

The MMA Rant 2.10.13: The Art of Earning a Title Shot (Not in Your Division)
Posted by
Scott Kuczkowski
on 02.10.2013
If Frankie Edgar got a title shot after two losses and Randy Couture got one after coming out of retirment, why doesn't Michael Bisping deserve one?
Welcome to this week's edition the MMA Rant; as always, I am your host, Scott Kuczkowski.
There has been a spate of odd matchmaking going on with the UFC champions, and it kind of has me wondering if Joe Silva has been asleep at the wheel.
I mean, I always thought someone had to compete in a certain division to get a shot at that particular title, but apparently I was incorrect. Heck, I thought someone had to at least be coming off a win to get a title shot, but I guess I was wrong about that too.
Those strange booking decisions will be the theme (of sorts) for today's column. And while I'm sure everyone thought it was OK for
Frankie Edgar
to challenger for the Featherweight Title after two consecutive losses and it was just fine when
Randy Couture
came out of retirement to challenge for the Heavyweight Title, was that really the best decision? And if it was, why doesn't
Michael Bisping
get a title shot?
You know what? Hold that thought for a moment…we'll get to that in a minute. Instead, let's look at some feedback from last week.
left me a soliloquy of sorts (maybe we should hire him) that I'm going to break up and tackle one point at a time.
At the end of the day, the UFC is about making money, not only for the promotion, but for the fighters. I think wins and losses should have a much stronger factor in deciding match-ups than the marketability of a fight, but both should play a factor.
The issue with this is that it is a very precarious balance to do both. If we are talking about two contenders with equal records, but one is more popular than the other, then obviously the promotion should go with the matchup that will draw the most viewers. However, when obvious contenders are overlooked for the sake of more popular fighters, we have a problem. Nick Diaz is not more deserving than Johny Hendricks; it is his popularity that got him a title shot.
On the Hendricks situation, does Hendricks deserve a shot? Yes, and there will be no denying it if he defeats Ellenberger (though it would be a mighty shame if he fails). Hendricks had a split decision win over Koscheck, but people aren't mentioning that that fight was sandwiched between two knockouts of Jon Fitch and Martin Kappmann that occurred in a combined 40 seconds. They aren't cans, they aren't stiffs, they were top 10 fighters.
Agreed. The problem with making Hendricks fight again is that if he loses a bad decision, the UFC will now have lost a solid contender in a meaningless fight (I say meaningless, because it probably won't elevate Ellenberger into contention.) The UFC needs to make fights when they can, and they are missing the boat with Hendricks.
Now, GSP does have a right to turn it down in this situation, and that's for one thing: Nick Diaz. It's not like GSP is saying, "I don't feel like fighting anyone right now, there are no contenders in my division". GSP simply wants to kick Diaz's ass first since he's frothing at the bit to do so for nearly a year and a half now.
This would be a solid argument if Nick Diaz wasn't coming off a loss and a yearlong suspension. The problem with this is that GSP chose an opponent who wouldn't have normally been in title contention. If Hendricks and Diaz had equal records coming into this situation, I wouldn't have had an issue with GSP's decision. As such, I think he's holding off on taking a fight against someone he may not be ready for versus asking for a fight against someone he most likely has a solid gamplan to defeat.
Silva, in a way, has a right to influence who he fights next as well. For over six years now, I've heard how guys like Patrick Cote, Demein Maia, and now Chris Weidman are a "bad match-up" for Silva. Bullshit. The guy is nearly 38 years old, is undefeated in TWO weight divisions in the UFC, and finished his biggest rival and challenge in his career in Chael Sonnen...twice. He stepped up to face a roided Stephan Bonnar and proved that on a month's notice he could smash someone that walks around at 240 pounds.
I agree that the whole "I'm a bad matchup for him" is pretty lame (and repeated by every challenger). Despite that, and while Anderson Silva is my favorite fighter, I don't think he should be able to pick and choose contenders. While taking the Bonnar fight on short notice (and saving the entire card) should earn him some favors with the UFC, that doesn't mean he becomes his own fight booker. I will conceded that at 38 years old, the clock is winding down on his career, so the UFC should book him wisely in the time he has left, but that doesn't mean snubbing guys who have earned title shots.
Whether fighters like it or not, Chael Sonnen has changed the game. Constantly I read interviews where journalists ask a fighter who they want next and they say, "I don't care, I just want to fight". And people wonder why they get passed over on title shots or title eliminators. They give the impression that they don't give a shit. Sonnen isn't like that, he makes it known that he wants the champion, hell, he nearly fought Jones on eight days notice, when Machida refused. It's about showing the promotion that you care.
Chael didn't change the game; he did the same thing professional wrestlers have done for the past 50 years. Many people also forget that Chuck and Tito had similar exchanges leading up to their two meetings. I think the biggest difference is that it was completely unexpected from Chael, who was pretty vanilla beforehand. Moreover, I don't want to hear a bunch of nobodies calling other fighters out in interviews; they normally sound stupid and fail to realize they aren't at a level to call anyone out. I would rather see them get in there and win impressively – the rest will come on its own.
This is the type of exchange that makes writing this column worth it (besides the huge salary).
And now for today's literary brilliance:
– The Short and Sweet:
It was nice to see
Tyron Woodley
score a big knockout; I've seen too many Woodley fights that resembled wrestling matches than they did fights.
I actually thought
Joseph Benavidez
would have an easier time with
Ian McCall
than he did. Still a good fight though.
Damian Maia
may have smother-humped
Jon Fitch
for the win, but I don't see that style of fighting getting him a title shot anytime soon.
Antonio Silva
scored one of the biggest wins of his career and laid waste to the UFC's Heavyweight title plans.
Rashad Evans
failed to perform and
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
scored a rather uninspiring decision win that didn't do anything for his title chances.
Frankie Edgar
proved once again his toughness while
Jose Aldo
demonstrated his greatness.
I love it when a plan
comes together
falls apart…
I took guilty pleasure in watching the UFC's title plans go down the tubes last Saturday night when both the heir apparent for the Middleweight Title and the Heavyweight Title lost their bouts. I don't take enjoyment out of it because I dislike Rashad or Alistair; I take enjoyment out of it because I hate it when the UFC puts supposed "challengers" in meaningless bouts and dangles a title shot in front of them.
Make no mistake; I have no problem with title eliminator (or #1 contender) bouts. If the stipulation was that the winner of the Evans/Nogueira fight would get a title shot, then I would have been all for it. But that wasn't the case; only Evans was rumored to be in line for a title shot (in a completely different division, but I'll cover that later). In this case, the fight becomes meaningless because the moment Evans lost, no title contender was crowned. This fight was a complete waste of time and energy.
The same applies to the Silva/Overeem bout; had Dana White announced that the winner of the bout would next challenge for the title, I would have been fine with that fight. But Silva wasn't ever mentioned because he wasn't "supposed" to win; he was just there to get beat. And now that he's won, the UFC is trying to figure out what to do with him (when they plainly have no clue).
I think this is a shitty way to do business and reeks of shoddy matchmaking. If someone in line for a title shot just needs to win one last fight to get that title shot, then the guy who he's fighting should equally be in title contention; doing otherwise is counterintuitive. How can one fighter earn a title shot by beating a fighter who isn't even in contention? Wouldn't that mean that someone who strung together a bunch of wins on the prelims could also be a contender? Shouldn't quality of opponents count? And doesn't it just sound completely shitty to hear that Rashad would have gotten a crack at the #1 Pound for Pound fighter on the planet with a win but Lil Nog didn't get a thing?
Fighting to lose.
I have a little secret for all MMA fans out there: Do you see that fighter on the bottom? The guy that was taken down and is now attempting sweeps and submissions off his back? He's losing on the judge's scorecards. And he'll lose the decision every time.
And that guy on the top? The one that is barely doing anything? He's winning on the judge's scorecards merely because he's on top. And he'll probably win the decision.
That sucks, doesn't it? And some of you want to tell me about the scoring criteria and about how the man on the bottom who is trying to finish the fight should account for more than the guy on top who is merely maintaining a positional advantage.
You can save it; I know all that. What I am talking about is the
reality of the situation
, which is that the man on the bottom is almost always losing the fight.
Now, there may be a savvy judge or two out there that might recognize the bottom fighter's work (particularly if the fighter on top is constantly fighting out of submissions), but that's normally only going to create a split decision in favor of the fighter on top.
Frankly, this situation has unfolded the same way hundreds of times in innumerable MMA bouts; the fighter on the bottom loses to the fighter on top. Yet for some reason, people are consistently stunned with it happens. It happened last week in the
Clay Guida
fight, it's happened in countless
Ben Askren
Gray Maynard
bouts, and it will continue to happen. And, for whatever reason, people will continue to be surprised when it happens.
Now, I know MMA judging; I really do. And I know that the guy on the bottom with the active guard should be outscoring the top fighter when he attempts sweeps and submissions and the top fighter is just trying to stay on top. I know all that. I know that an active guard should always count for more than a mere positional advantage.
But that fact is that things just don't work that way, and I am constantly stunned that some fighters don't realize it.
And I get that some wrestlers have such a good top game that the guy on the bottom might not be able to get back to his feet. In those cases, I think the fighter on the bottom needs to work on his takedown defense, because weak crap off his back is just going to see him lose.
Nowadays, any fighter that opts to fight off his back is probably going to lose if he doesn't submit his opponent. And the fighter that can't stave off takedowns and keep the fight where he wants it is going to come out on the losing end of a decision. Forcing his opponent to repeatedly shrug off or merely avoid submissions is practically meaningless, because the fighter on the bottom is still going to lose.
That's just the way things happen.
Common Sense.
I want someone to explain to me in the comments section why
Michael Bisping
shouldn't get the next title shot against
Anderson Silva
. I don't need anything complicated; just keep it simple and explain your rationale.
But, if your answer includes "he's coming off a loss," I want you to explain why
Nick Diaz
Chael Sonnen
are getting title shots and why it was fine for Frankie Edgar to get one too.
Like I said, just keep it simple.
Who is most deserving of a title shot?
Since when does a fighter becoming a contender in one weight class mean that he's also a contender in a different weight class too? Does he become a contender in every weight class? Or is it just one up and one down? I haven't quite figured out this rationale.
There was talk that if he'd won against Lil Nog, Rashad Evans would have earned a title shot against Anderson Silva. How would that happen? Evans hasn't ever even fought at Middleweight, so why would he get a title shot? Is that the way the UFC is making matches nowadays? Just call someone out or mention you'd like to fight them and you suddenly get the chance? Shouldn't title shots be earned? Shouldn't a fighter at least prove he can even make the weight first?
The same thing is happening in the Featherweight Division with Anthony Pettis being scheduled to challenge Jose Aldo. Look, I get it…this is a cool matchup and it will probably be a great fight. But shouldn't Pettis have to prove he can even make it to 145 before he's handed a title shot? Shouldn't he have to beat at least one guy in the division before he has the chance to wear the strap? And what about all the other guys who have been toiling away in the division? Where is the justice for them?
The Edgar/Aldo fight was something talked about even before Edgar lost his Lightweight Title, so I kind of understand why they did it when they did. But why is Pettis jumping everyone else too? Wouldn't it have been fairer to make Pettis beat Edgar first? Or even the Korean Zombie?
And if he loses to Aldo, does he just move back up to Lightweight for a shot at Benson Henderson? Or does that go out the window too?
All of this points to a promotion's failure to groom challengers. If the UFC is so short on challengers for their champions that they have to resort to this type of matchmaking, then they've failed to properly build and groom fighters for title shots.
And that's it for this week. Seriously, answer my question about the title shots; it will be enlightening and entertaining to see the rationale.
Thanks for reading.

Scandinavian Formulas Anti Snoring Device NoZovent formerly S.H. Nozovent Anti Snore- 2 snore stoping devices per box.NoZovent is a device to help eliminate snoring by dilating the nasal airways, increasing airflow, enhancing breathing; reducing nasal constriction and can also benefit athletes by stabilizing blood pressure during physical exertion.Nozovent Anti-snoring device For Peaceful, Restful SleepNozovent is designed to increase the airflow through the nose by dilating the nostrils, enhancing easy breathing, and lessening the vibration of the soft palate which dramatically reduces or eliminates snoring. Nozovent helps get rid of unhealthy mouth breathing and minimizes the drying of the bronchial mucosa. In many cases it decreases the severity of sleep apnea.About Nozovent Nozovent was developed by an Ear, Nose and Throat Physician in Sweden and is supported by clinical studies demonstrating its outstanding effectiveness. It is used by suffers of colds, allergies, asthma and physical nasal restrictions, as well as athletes in competition, as it enhances breathing and helps to keep blood pressure down during physical exertion.Nozovent is manufactured from nontoxic, pharmaceutical grade plastic approved by the American FDA (Food and Drug Administration).Benefits of Nozovent
How NoZovent Works: When the air passes through the nose, it becomes warm and moist as it is being cleaned. The mouth and throat have a lesser ability to condition the air. Breathing through the mouth dries out the mucous membrane in the mouth, throat and windpipe. Cold, dry and sometimes dusty air can enter down into the windpipe and cause coughing. When the nostrils are dilated with Nozovent, it is not necessary to breathe through the mouth, and one can continue to breathe through the nose. With Nozovent, it is easier to breathe, and it takes less effort to get the air down into the lungs.Directions for use: Simple to use; insert the device so that the longer portions of the end pieces are facing upward and the circular cups are toward the tissue on the inside of the nostril and so that the round balls are to the lower part of the nostril.Nozovent is reusable until the plastic no longer offers the necessary spring-like and dilating action. This typically happens after 3 months of continuous use. Nozovent should be cleaned with mild soap and water.This information is educational in nature and not intended to be used for the diagnosis or treatment of any specific medical condition, and is not intended as a substitute for the advice and counseling of your own healthcare practitioner.

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) - Not Guilty. That's the verdict in the case of a Weston gym center owner and coach accused of having sex with a then 16-year-old former student.
The trial for Taj Jefferson lasted 3 1/2 days, and he's now free with no other charges pending against him.
Prosecutor Theresa Whetsteone says, "It pretty much boiled down to a he said-she said case, and it is a pretty hefty burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt" adding, "If that means that there's any doubt based on reason or common sense, they (jurors) have to return a verdict of not guilty."
Whetsteone says the court system works well, even though it didn't go as she expected Friday. Even knowing the outcome, Whetsteone says she has no regrets and would try this case again, and she wouldn't have brought it to trial unless she thought there was enough evidence to convict.
Taj Jefferson was accused of having sex several times with a 16-year-old that he coached, both at his Ringle residence and at his business, GymSport Gymnastics in Weston.
Jefferson had opened up his home to the family of the accuser.
Judge Vincent Howard presided over the trial.

Child's Stepped-Back Cupboard
This cupboard is a scaled-down version of a slant-top cupboard. To make the piece look right in a smaller version, the stock thickness must be reduced, so our cupboard employs 58 inch thick pine for most of the parts and 1/2 inch thick pine for the back.
Horse and Cart Toy

5 Dividend Hikes to Watch for This Earnings Season
2013 is already shaping up to be a good year for shares of Deere (DE) -- the $34 billion agricultural and construction equipment manufacturer has already seen its share price rally by 4% and change. That's almost half of the performance this stock saw in the entire last year.
A dividend hike could help to add onto those returns; right now, Deere pays a 46-cent quarterly dividend for a 2.05% yield.>>5 Stocks Warren Buffett Loves Deere's brand is a big asset. It's the only combine maker I'm aware of that gets away with selling apparel to suburbanites -- and more important, that brand strength carries over to its core market too. Deere has built a reputation for quality and technology, pioneering features like GPS marking of fields in its equipment. That helps Deere command higher prices than peers while still actually moving equipment. And there's no question that Deere does, in fact, move equipment; the firm owns more than 50% of the North American ag market. A big asset for Deere is its captive finance arm. While that scared off some investors in 2008, the quality of Deere's debt has held up better than most analysts expected -- and with access to extremely cheap capital right now, Deere Financial should help stoke the growth fires in a big way going forward. With ample liquidity on hand, Deere looks well positioned for a dividend hike in the next quarter. Investors should watch out for first quarter earnings on Feb. 13.

fairy rings Also known as "hag tracks." Mushrooms found in the forest sometimes tend to grow in the form of circles, due to the fact that the old growths tend to die off from a central point, and often leave behind chemical residues that inhibit growth of other plants. Tradition has it that fairies or witches danced in these circles.
In Shakespeare's Tempest, he referred to the fairies and their artifact:
. . . You demi-puppets, that
By moonshine do the green-sour ringlets make,
Whereof the ewe not bites.
Today, some of these rings have been labeled as sites of UFO landings, bringing a natural phenomenon up to date in the nonsense business.

In an eye-opening piece of research, The Altimeter Group has pulled together some numbers that outline what corporate social media strategists are focusing on, both outside and inside their own organizations. They're thinking much bigger than just 140 characters.
Turns out what social media strategists want most is to measure their efforts. They want to attach dollar signs to their work. They want to measure social media ROI.
Here is a quick summary of the study:
Going forward – assuming Jeremiah Owyang and crew are on point with their research – social media marketing won't just about listening anymore. The focus will shift to creating engaging content that drives transactions and actionable intelligence.
(This is the part where we remind you about Argyle Goals – our social media conversion tracking feature that links social content to online transactions.)
Personally, I'm excited that a leading voice has piped up about linking social to transactions. 18 months ago, Jeremiah would have been lynched by the social media the blogosphere for suggesting that social media is about anything but "listening" and "the conversation".
Sure – engagement is a core pillar of any social media marketing effort. But the engagement ultimately needs to ring the register. The problem to-date is that social media marketers have spoken in terms of "engagement", while managers and executives tend to speak in terms of "money".
The market is getting much more pragmatic about the social channel and that is good for all of us.
Interestingly, the report also shows that 48% of corporate social strategists struggle to measure the value of social media for the following reasons: disparate sets of data, a plethora of engagement metrics and a vast array of data growing at an exponential rate. More signs that the numbers need to get more consistent and the goals more concrete.
This report thrilling for us because it shows that the market is getting smarter, proves that social media is graduating from experimental channel to strategic channel, and – for us – validates that we're on the right track with Argyle Social.

Clean and comfortable villa
Hi there. We have enjoyed our stay in the villa in Kissimmee very much. Very comfortable and we loved the indoors, facilities and pool area. Kids also had a blast with hours and hours of swimmingpool time. For us, ideal place to enjoy the parks and then to return to this house in the evening with comfort. Nice, clean and quiet place.
I had never rented a house before and I must admit there is no going back. At the end of our vacation we spent 4 days at the house. Everthing was as described and the organization went well. The distance to Disney and Seaworld is extremly short. The house had everything we needed. This is an excellent residence that is very well kept. Loads of space, plenty of bedrooms with bathrooms for each. House is a great size for a family and grandparents too!! Cozy and no problems whatsoever! Full kitchen for cooking if you want to. Great place! Loved it! Thank you!
Great house, great location
A very well appointed house genuinely close to Disney and all that the 192 has to offer. We were a party of five adults and found the house to be exactly as the photographs show it to be, comfortable and satisfying all of our needs. The property is located in a quiet neighbourhood and is easily located.Within 1.5 miles are several good restaurants and supermarkets etc. We were the first guests of the new owners who accommodated us at short notice and provided an excellent back up service via their management company. We would certainly recommend this house and will look to stay here again on our next visit to Orlando.

Fortunately for my relationship with focaccia, I began hearing all about this book "The Bread Baker's Apprentice." It's supposed to be the end-all be-all of bread baking technique books. A carbohydrate bible, if you will. I (kind of accidentally) made one of the recipes when I made English Muffins a month or two back. THOSE turned out great, so I figured, why not check this book out from the library and see what the fuss is all about?
THAT. THAT is what all the fuss is about. Look at that golden color! The crisp, crunchy crust! The salty, herb-infused olive oil coating! The airy, tender crumbs! This is what focaccia should be.
Focaccia (from the Bread Baker's Apprentice, by Peter Reinhardt)
-5 cups unbleached high-gluten or bread flour
-2 teaspoons salt
-2 teaspoons instant yeast
-6 tablespoons olive oil
-1/4-1/2 cup Herb Oil
1. Stir together the flour, salt and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add the oil and water, mixing with a large metal spoon until all the ingredients form a wet, sticky ball. If you are mixing by hand, repeatedly dip one of your hands or the metal spoon into cold water and use it, much like a dough hook, to work the dough vigorously into a smooth mass while rotating the bowl in a circular motion with the other hand. Reverse the circular motion a few times to develop the gluten further. Do this for 3-5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and the ingredients are evenly distributed. If you're using an electric mixer, switch to the dough hook and mix on medium speed for 5-7 minutes, or as long as it takes to create a smooth, sticky dough. The dough should clear the sides of the bowl, but stick to the bottom of the bowl . You may need to add additional flour to firm up the dough enough to clear the sides of the bowl, but the dough should still be quite soft and sticky.
2. Sprinkle enough flour on the counter to make a bed about 6" square. Using a scarper or spatula dipped in water, transfer the sticky dough to the bed of flour and dust liberally with flour, patting the dough into a rectangle. Wait 5 minutes for the dough to relax.
3. Coat your hands with flour and stretch the dough from each end to twice its size. Fold it, letter-style, over itself to return it to a rectangular shape. Mix the top of the dough with spray oil, dust again with flour, and loosely cover with plastic wrap.
4. Let rest 30 minutes. Stretch and fold the dough again, mist with spray oil, dust with flour, and cover. After 30 minutes, repeat this one more time.
5. Allow the covered dough to ferment on the counter for 1 hour. It should swell, but not necessarily double in size.
6. Line a 17x12" sheet pan with baking parchment. Drizzle 1/4 cup olive oil all over the paper and spread it with your hands. Lightly oil your hands and, using a plastic or metal pastry scraper, lift the dough off the counter and transfer it to the sheet pan, maintaining the rectangle shape as much as possible. Spoon half of herb oil all over dough. Use your fingers to dimple the dough and spread it to fill the pan simultaneously. Try to keep thickness uniform as you do this. Don't worry if you can't fill the pan 100%--the dough will spread out naturally. Use more herb oil as necessary to ensure the entire surface is coated with oil. (**NOTE: The book was really unclear to me on whether you're supposed to do the oil & dimpling now or in Step 8--it's written differently in the book, because there are diagrams. I let it spread almost all the way out before oil & dimpling, which worked out fine, though the bread may have ended up a bit taller as a result. Who knows? Use your best judgment here.)
7. Loosely cover pan with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough overnight (or up to 3 days). (**NOTE: I didn't do this. I don't know exactly what refrigerating the dough accomplishes, but my bread was just fine without this step.)
8. Remove the pan from the refrigerator 3 hours before baking. Drizzle additional oil over top and dimple it in. This should allow you to fill the pan completely with the dough to a thickness of 1/2". Again, cover the pan with plastic and proof the dough at room temperature for 3 hours, or until dough doubles in size, rising to a thickness of 1".
9. Preheat the oven to 500.
10. Place pan in the oven. Lower the oven setting to 450 and bake 10 minutes. Rotate the pan 180 degrees and continue baking for 5-10 minutes or until it turns a light golden brown. The internal temperature of the dough should register 200".
11. Remove from oven and immediately transfer out of the pan onto a cooling rack, removing the parchment.
12. Allow focaccia to cool at least 20 minutes before slicing or serving.
Herb Oil
To make Herb Oil, you can really just follow gut. Pour 1/2-2 cups olive oil into a sauce pan, then toss some herbs in. Obviously, if you only have dried herbs, only put 1 tablespoon or less of each, depending on how much olive oil you started with. If you have fresh herbs, it can be more. For my recipe, I used about 3/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt, 1/2 tablespoon black pepper, 4 cloves of minced garlic, and 1/2 tablespoon basil. It was DELICIOUS.
By the way... after making both the English Muffins and the Focaccia, I'm officially throwing my hat into the BBA Challenge. This challenge group is informally structured. You get the BBA book and work your way through every recipe in it on your own time frame. I love it. And I'm so doing it.
