iHub By Rachel Gichinga / March 21, 2013
We're Hiring!
With the recent partnership signed between the iHub and Intel, we're looking for a couple of talented, energetic and committed individuals to join the team and help spearhead some of the exciting projects we'll be working on over the next year. Do you fit the bill? Apply now.

Roles and responsibilities will be tailored to suit the successful candidate's experience and background but may include:
- Hosting at least one major on-campus recruitment drive, with a target of 150 students per campus. For this they would need Intel-branded merchandise, such as t-shirts, stickers and thumb drives.
- Co-organizing and hosting "university challenges" to get the students familiar with the devices as well as see what kind of apps they're interested in having and building.
- The scope of this challenge would be limited to apps that are geared towards the interests and needs of university students.
- Will coordinate a Hackathon/ competition over 2 months – Target: Take an idea of a product through to prototype
- Help identify the most serious developers in each university group, who would then come to the iHub for in-depth training

Dear Mr. Shulman,
Hi, my name is Emily and I like the pictures you took when you were alive. My favorite is the famous one- Case Study House #22- but I like a lot of others as well, especially the Prarie Chicken.
I saw a documentary on you, your career and how important you were. It was really interesting, but I wasn't surprised afterwards that you were dead since you looked so old in the movie. I like how you explain your architecture pictures.
Especially, I like how you took pictures to make sure other people's art wasn't lost. Your camera wasn't for yourself, it wasn't a unique view of a leaf or a child, which would be something you could take full credit for. You were framing what was there, which is what photography is about anyway. People forget that. I think you should get even more credit than leaf-and-child photographers, because of selflessness.
I do have to disagree with you about one thing. Postmodern architecture isn't too weird. I actually like it better than modernism, because there's a bigger variety of shapes; it's not all long rectangles upon long rectangles, with some shallow curves that really look like they're secretly straight lines. But I understand why you wouldn't like it. Postmodern architecture is a step too complicated for your idea of beauty.
I wonder when I will decide that contemporary art is wrong.
The documentary was sad because you were old. Modernism's first name was the "New Movement." I think there will always be something special about how you treated buildings in your photography, but I'm sorry to tell you that they're not very new anymore. How come exciting people like you have to get old? Art moves further forward always that way, since new people always push, but how can we know it's going in the right direction if those we grew up respecting tell us it's all wrong? They could be right, or not. They'll say the same thing.
Sometimes history helps a bit, putting who we are into perspective. But the thing about being a person, is that nobody can tell you exactly where your path goes. Generations are blind to anything but the past. It makes me sad that you don't like the art of my parents' generation, because mine is based off theirs. It makes me sad because I like you. I bet Zaha Hadid does too, since her lines are like yours. But you can never like us. Newton would have probably hated Einstein. That's really sad, since they were both so good at physics.
That's all I really had to say. I hope there are lots of long rectangular buildings for you in Heaven. Maybe it's fully in the fourth dimmension and all of the art movements are there at once and everyone is happy.

In Michigan, the IT department is working on mobile applications for tasks that people want to accomplish on short notice, Hogan said. For example, one future application will let people who book charter fishing tours use handheld devices to buy 24-hour fishing licenses. "These guys show up at the dock at 4:00 in the morning, and the skipper finds out they don't have their fishing license," he said.posted by mdonley at 3:06 AM on March 7, 2008
keep it small, nimble, simple, don't try and do too much at once, test it out, see how it gets used, iterate iterate iterateThat's a bit idealistic. Open-ended iteration doesn't sit well with the contract-spec-build-pay way external IT projects are traditionally set up. If you want to iterate you're better off doing it in-house, but if you do outsource you still need someone experienced on your end to guide the process, else you're going to be treated as a meal-ticket by your contractor.
This is worth repeating. I realize that beauracracy and red tape are what government does best, but building monolithic applications is an outdated paradigm (esp. on the web).

This guest post by Khris Della Pace of the New York Flyers will take you right back to how you felt after your own first marathon – exhilarated, amazed, and most likely, addicted. If you haven't yet run a marathon, this may just compel you to change that.
|Khris D. P.
Over the Thanksgiving break I heard about the NYCRUNS inaugural Central Park Marathon from Kettia. This would be a marathon with some historical significance. The first NYC Marathon was held in Central Park in 1970 with 127 male-only competitors (55 finishers) because the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) refused to sanction marathons that included women. But in 1972, after the AAU relented, six women competed as the NYC Marathon has ever since been open to men and women. However, in 1976 the NYC Marathon course was expanded to go through all five boroughs. And so the historic new marathon, scheduled for February 24, 2012, would be the first marathon for both men and women run entirely entirely within Central Park since 1976.
|And They're Off…
The fanfare for this race was lacking compared to the typical big-city marathon. From talking to other marathoners, I knew that the fans can be the heart of the race because they keep you going mentally. Although the crowd was small, many Flyers were out on the course cheering us on while Bob C was taking race photos for the Flyers website. And Flyer Jodie F from the 6AM group was on West Drive enthusiastically clanging her cowbell for all the runners!
|Last Mile With Kettia (at left) and Tracey (at right)
|With my Daughter at the Finish!
These past 2 years have been an amazing journey for me. I have met some wonderful people in the 6AM running group who have been a great support system. I FOUND MY PASSION!
Finally running my first marathon was a great way to kick off the new year. I look forward to more racing and reaching some new goals in 2013!

If you're building a high-level competition engine, you'll definitely want to check out Sealed Power CH-Series rod bearings. They were developed in the trenches in NASCAR and Pro Stock competition, so you know they're tough. They're built on premium 1020AK steel backings and overlaid with Sealed Power's super-duty H-14 alloy. That's covered with a nickel barrier, followed by a thin lead-tin-copper overplate. However, unlike other performance bearings, there is no flash tin layer on top of that. That's because Sealed Powers engineers have determined that such a layer can actually move around under high performance conditions, sometimes resulting in undesirable consequences.

Lori and John Winchester were married three years earlier. A year after their marriage, they began fertility treatments. Their first two attempts at adoption fell through.
Although Lori was 20 years older than Ataya, they became instant friends.
"Right when I saw you, I knew it was you," Lori remembered Ataya telling her.
Ataya encouraged John, Lori and her son Nicolas Olsen, from her first marriage, to come to the hospital for the birth. They were all there.
Except Nate.
Reeves characterized Fakahafua as young and scared. He ran away.
"It took me some time to actually get the courage and strength to actually go and meet her," Nate said. "But when I did it was definitely worth it."
Opening up
Nate's relationship with his daughter began in his hands. He cloaked her in them and was careful to hold this thing he made so it did not drop and could not be taken away.
While Lori favored an open adoption, John was concerned there would be awkwardness or even resentment between the families involved. John watched Nate hold Lily, and take her for a short walk in The Gateway mall. His concerns disappeared.
Both he and Lori were struck by how tender Nate was with the 7-month-old Lily. Nate was struck by how much they seemed to love her. They loved her as much as he did.
They gathered another time at Sugar House Park, this time so Lily could meet her biological grandmother, who during Nate's sophomore year at Highland moved to Utah so she could be near her sons.
Ana Fakahafua lives just south of Interstate 80 in a small brick house with turquoise steps. She wears a white flower in her black hair.
When Nate told her Ataya was pregnant, Ana's response was that she wanted to adopt the baby herself. She had little money and already struggled to support herself and Nate's sister, also named Ana. Nate knew she could not give Lily everything another family could.
When she met Lily, Ana cried.
"My son looked at my face and my tears," Ana said, "and he goes, 'Mom, I understand how you feel. Same for me.' "

Just a quick public service announcement before this week's Countdown:
Bobby Knight is still willing to be your coach.
Not that he's going to ask.
But if you call him, I'm sure he'd come.
Not that he's going to beg.
But if you're looking for a basketball coach, Bobby Knight really wants a job.
Not that he's going to tell you that he really wants a job because legends don't like to admit that publicly — they just prefer to wait for the horns, the fawning and the welcoming committee.
But if you have a downtrodden basketball program that's had difficulty recruiting, what better way to turn things around than with an old, bitter man who has no real desire to recruit any more?
Knight leaked that he wanted to coach Georgia. He waited by the phone. Nobody called.
Knight leaked that he wanted to coach Arizona. He waited by the phone. Nobody called.
He settled for a Guitar Hero commercial.
For that, he had to take off his pants.
In one of his classic top 10 press conferences moments (No. 8), Knight sarcastically explained the difference between football and basketball for media members, then added: "I'm trying to help you young guys in this profession you've chosen — it's one or two steps above prostitution."
Just wondering, Bob. Who's leaning against the lamp post at 2 a.m. now?
Roy Williams is a great basketball coach. Nothing is or was going to change that. It was important to get that out first before this: Given the win-championships-or-you-are-flotsam-to-me! attitude that too often permeates sports, Coach Roy just prevented one of those career-defining faceplants that tends to wreck biographies. Let me explain.
9. He is Heeled!
This North Carolina team has to go down as one of the most ridiculously deep and talented college basketball teams ever — at least since last year's team, which got smoked in the national semis to Kansas (ouch). Had the Tar Heels lost, that would have made seven Final Fours for Williams in his career (four at Kansas, three at Carolina) with one championship to show for it — that in his second season in Chapel Hill with a roster mostly recruited by Matt Doherty. Instead, this is what we see now as Williams' bottom line at North Carolina: six seasons, three Final Fours, two championships — which ties him with Dean Smith. See how quickly that changed?
If you want to know why people love Roy Williams, here's one reason. After after the Tar Heels waxed Michigan State in the title game to complete a 34-4 season (70-7 in the last two years), Williams gave all the credit to his players, even if he dropped into third person to do it: "These players took Roy Williams on one fantastic ride." And then this, on tying Smith, his mentor, in championships: "Roy Williams ain't that good. But Old Roy has some big-game players. Roy Williams and Dean Smith don't fit in the same sentence. I believe that. I'm not being humble."
When Roy Williams leaves, Bobby Knight will be interested. Not that he'll admit it. Unless they phone. Which they won't.
6. Tiger favored, sky blue
Checked with several dark-alley brokerage houses and, yes, shocking but true, Tiger Woods is favored to win the Masters. The odds generally go something like this: 1. Tiger Woods: 2-1, or less. 2. Phil Mickelson: somewhere from 7-1 to 20-1. 3. Padraig Harrington, Sergio Garcia and that kid in front of the line at Mountasia who can't decide between the blue ball, the red ball and the green ball: 179-1. Look at this way: Chances are, there's going to be another great photo op for the slobbering males of the world, which pretty much covers the gender. Just wondering: Is there any
professional golfer who isn't married to/dating a hot blonde? I mean, how does it work on the Tour? "Congratulations, Sir. Here's your Tour card and your Pings. Now, you have a choice of blondes. Would you prefer a super model, maybe someone with the-girl-next-door look, or the daughter of another former golfer?" And on that subject, we give you: Elin Nordegren (Tiger Woods), Amy Mickelson (Phil Mickelson) and Morgan Leigh Norman (daughter of Greg Norman, with Sergio Garcia).
If we go by total correct responses, the Thrashers' Don Waddell, Falcons' Thomas Dimitroff and Hawks' Rick Sund tied in the Countdown's inaugural Final Four pool at four points each. Waddell was the only one to have the correct championship game match-up — but unfortunately went with the school from his homeland. (He actually went to Northern Michigan, but they just missed the field of 64.) If an escalating points system is applied (one for each correct Final Four team, two for each semi winner, three for the correct champion, Dimitroff and Sund tied at seven points and Waddell was third with six. We'll try to have more defined rules next year. But in an point system, the Braves' Frank Wren is dead last. The Louisville-Florida State final didn't quite pan out. He gave me some lame excuse like, "I haven't watched many games." Like that stopped my daughter from winning the house pool. But Wren is 1-0 where it counts. Which reminds me . . .
Derek Lowe, eight scoreless innings. Jordan Schafer, home run in his first at-bat. Brian McCann, two-run jack. Jeff Francoeur, home run and sane. Is this heaven? No it's just the opener. But ain't it great how one game followed by an off day and therefore with a 48-hour shelf life suddenly has some trying to calculate a magic number? (The answer is 161.) "I haven't been in a situation where that win or loss [in an opener] has been a strong indicator for the season," Wren said in an email. Smart man. . . .
So I went back to 1991, which seemed to make sense because almost everything prior to that was kind of ugly. The Braves are now 12-7 in openers since then. Let's throw out 1994 (when the Braves won their opener), since there were no playoffs that season, and this year, because there's no playoffs yet. That leaves them 10-7. In the 10 years they won the opener, the Braves went to the post-season eight times (80 percent), won three pennants (1992-95-96) and one World Series. In the seven seasons the team lost its opener, it went to the playoffs six times (86 percent), won two pennants (1991-99) and no Series. This thin research confirms there is no discernible difference between winning and losing on Opening Day, as it affects the future. However, when C.C. Sabathia allows six runs and eight hits and walks five in 4 1/3 innings against the Orioles and the Yankees get flattened in their season opener, you are encouraged to laugh hysterically and mock until the next game.
I joined a cause on Facebook the other day, "Don't Let Newspapers Die," which would be more inspiring than depressing if the total members, 76,422, did not currently exceed the circulation totals of so many newspapers. There's a nice piece in the Wall Street Journal about the ripple effect of the industry's decline — the sudden emptiness in so many baseball stadium press boxes. The story quotes our own David O'Brien, president of the Baseball Writers Association of America. How bad are things economically? The Washington Post and the Baltimore Sun — once major competitors — are now sharing content on the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles.
Yes, somebody floated Bobby Knight's name in Memphis. The job just went to 31-year-old Josh Pastner, who hadn't even been born (1978) before Knight won his first title (1976). Oops.

Loved the sports page and the comics as well as the crossword puzzle. It was usually good for an hour of two while I unwound. Then a couple of years ago ya'll decided to stop selling the paper south of Macon. I went through weeks of withdrawal. I know it was an economic decision and you were not selling enough papers to justify running a fleet of trucks down here every day (You can also insert here any comments about South Georgians being unable to read). It's kind of like TV killed the radio star, but it's the Internet that's killing the newspapers. These younger kids want instant gratification.

Jeff, when your 104 years old and have long since been fired, retired, sent to an assisted living newspaper sports editors village or living in Branson, Missouri where you alternate nights going to the Andy Williams & Steppenwolf Theaters maybe you'll understand Bobby Knight a little better. I know his way of coaching has long since passed but I'm still and will always be a big fan of his. Nearly all newspaper folks hate only one thing about him, his guts. So even though I disagree, I understand.
I subscribe to only one newspaper and that's the local rag. Do I read it? From time to time I'll read the arrest reports for the past week for a laugh. I don't read the sports section because all the teams in this county suck. Wait a minute…they suck real bad. It's always one of those "We had 'em by the throat until the game started." type articles. I tried to subscribe to the AJC but they wouldn't deliver it to my doorstep. The delivery person didn't want to drive their car on a dirt road. Same thing with the Gainesville newspaper. So I just read the AJC on the web. And the new coach for Memphis does look a kid. Give him a pair of horn rimmed glasses, a pocket protector filled with pens, change his name to Norman and he'd be the perfect geek.

By Jay Polk - bio | email Andersonville, GA (WALB) - Like many radio controlled airplane enthusiasts, Jeff Meyers got the itch to fly at an early age.
"I've been flying since I was six years old," he said.
And like many of his fellow flyers, Jeff carried his love for RC airplanes into adulthood, even joining a club. Eight years ago, his club decided to put on a show, and they quickly realized that they needed a little more room than they could find in Metro Atlanta.
"It turns out that there are only two facilities in the southeast United States that are big enough to hold an event of this scale," Meyers said.
And one of those spots, was this field outside of Andersonville. seven years later, this show has become one of the largest in the world.
Meyers said, "We have 450 pilots here. And each pilot brings 8 to 10 planes. So we could have somewhere close to four to five thousand airplanes out here at the event."
Making this stretch of field even busier than Hartsfield Airport this weekend! And the best part- no lost luggage! But there more than just hobby aircraft here.
While most model airplaning is done for fun, there's one plane here this weekend that's helping to save our brave young men and women who are serving our country.
The Army is using a remote controlled plane, made of a flexible carbon and fiber mix which has a very important mission.
According to Laine Stahr of the U. S. Army, this micro UAV can get: "Surveillance of things that they can't see or they need to know what's going on somewhere."
Soldiers can easily deploy it whenever and wherever its needed.
"They pull it out, it pops open, they plug in the battery, get a GPS link and take off," Stahr said.
In his day job, Laine flies Blackhawk helicopters at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. He says that despite the obvious size difference, there are similarities between flying the two.
"The aerodynamic part of it was so much easier after learning RC when flying Blackhawks. You can apply it out to full scale. It's no different," he said.
Proving that this popular hobby can be more than just something fun to do on the weekend. And with more and more people taking up this type of flying, there are certain to be many happy landings ahead.
Electric RC planes are becoming more popular, due to improvements in technology and their clean, quiet, and reliable nature. There are many different kinds of electric RC planes available, and each is designed for a different purpose. This article will show you the different types of electric RC planes available, and explain how they work.
Electric RC planes have many benefits over fuel planes. This list shows some of the many reasons that you should choose electric power over fuel:
Cheaper than fuel RC planes - In many cases, electric power is cheaper than a comparable fuel system.
Just as powerful as fuel RC planes - Brushless motors are just as powerful as their fuel counterparts.
Safer than fuel RC planes - Electric RC planes are safer than fuel. A hot nitro or gas engine can do serious damage to anyone who accidentally touches or gets too close to it. Electric RC planes use motors and propellers which do not inflict as much damage in the event of an accident.

July 15, 2003
Irwinville, Ga. -- Sometimes we find it most difficult to buy a gift for someone who seems to have everything. But, a woman makes a gift that few people ever receive.
Bettye Singletary sews prayer pillows for cancer patients every week, as well as organizes fund-raisers for needy people.
But give Bettye Singletary $25, a little time, and you'll get quite a conversation piece suitable for framing. "They just fascinate me."
She's talking about plain, ordinary dollar bills that have lost much of their value, but are invaluable in her artwork. She takes those old George Washingtons and gives them new purpose.
Would Ole George care? "He might be proud that I'm remembering him." With twenty-three, one dollar bills, she prefers brand new ones, she folds, tapes and presses them into a new type of service, arranging them into a picture. "If they don't fit in one place, you put them in another."
Her pictures come rather close to the perfect gift for the person who seems to have everything. "I don't have any trouble getting rid of them when you make them. Somebody wants them."
She gives most of her creations away. "I love to give. I'd rather give than receive any day." She gives more than folded dollar bills cleverly arranged, giving hours of her time to create one with arthritic, 72-year-old hands that want to stop, but she won't let them. "I use to think I'd want to sit and rock. Not anymore."
She wants people to remember her. "I told the preacher I wanted to be known for something when I die besides hair dos and apple tarts."
And, she probably will get remembered as a very generous person willing to give her time and talents to others, with shirts made of dollar bills, with coins for buttons and cuff links.
"Ok, there it is." A new shirt, complete with a bow tie, but will it fit? Everything has to be the right size for it to work out correctly. And, she always has to adjust a little bit here and there.
Bettye Singletary has forgotten how many special shirts made of dollars she has made and given away over the years, but her friends and neighbors know she is a gracious person who would give you the shirt off her back.

After several prior failed attempts to challenge social media behemoth Facebook, Google introduced a new service on Tuesday that it hopes will finally do the trick.
Called the Google+ project, it's currently only available to a select group of Google users — they'll soon be able to invite others — and it will let people share and discuss status updates, photos and links, just like they do on Facebook.
But there's one key difference: Google+ allows you to share with select groups — like co-workers, friends or the moms in your child's playgroup — instead of with everyone. It features what it calls "circles," which are small groups of friends based on how you know them. Google+ also offers group text messaging and video chat.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan faced political gridlock on Monday after the ruling party's thrashing in a weekend election, which could thwart efforts to curb a huge public debt and get the economy in shape, and put Prime Minister Naoto Kan's job at risk.
Voters dealt Kan's Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) a stinging rebuke, depriving it and a tiny ally of an upper house majority less than a year after the DPJ swept to power promising change, the latest public backlash against leaders seen as incompetent.
The DPJ won 44 seats, far short of Kan's goal of 54, and its partner the People's New Party got none. The main opposition Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) won 51 seats.
The Democrats still control the powerful lower house. But they need help from other parties to push bills through the upper house as they struggle to end decades of stagnation in the world's No.2 economy and to cut public debt.
Noting the new political hurdles to fiscal reform, credit ratings agency Standard & Poor's warned it might cut Japan's sovereign ratings if its fiscal position eroded further or steps were not taken to curb debt.
Optimism was in short supply.
"We're likely to have lost another two years stuck in parliamentary gridlock rather than action," said Jesper Koll, director of equity research at JP Morgan Securities Japan.
Japan's economy is recovering, but analysts wonder for how long. Manufacturing confidence edged up in July to its best in 2- years, but the pace of gain slowed, a Reuters poll showed, a sign companies may be wary of slowing growth.
The election also leave Kan open to a challenge from inside his party, though he says he will stay in his job. In office just one month, Kan is the fifth prime minister in three years.
Markets took the outcome in stride, for now.
The Nikkei share average closed slightly lower and the yen eased. Government bond futures edged up.
The DPJ won power in a landslide last year, ousting the long-dominant conservative Liberal Democrats with promises to cut waste and focus on consumers. But government ratings nosedived due to funding scandals, chaotic policymaking and mishandling of a feud over a U.S. airbase in southern Japan.
Support rebounded when Kan took over, but tumbled once he floated a rise in the 5 percent sales tax and appeared to dither.
Many accept a sales tax rise is needed, with public debt about twice the size of the $5 trillion economy. But the DPJ did not convince voters it had a plan to cure Japan's economic ills.
"It's not that the voters don't want strong leadership. It's that there aren't strong leaders that the voters want," said Columbia University professor Gerry Curtis.
Analysts said likely policy deadlock had boosted chances that the government would lean on the Bank of Japan to put the economy in shape, partly because other steps would stall and partly because a potential ally, the small Your Party, wants more aggressive central bank steps.
Kan now faces a possible challenge from party critics including powerbroker Ichiro Ozawa -- a critic of his sales tax hike proposal -- ahead of a September party leadership vote. Analysts noted, though, that Ozawa's clout received no boost from the election, as many candidates he supported had lost.
The premier said early on Monday that the Democrats would ask opposition parties to cooperate on a policy-by-policy basis rather than invite them into a formal coalition right away.
Two potential partners, the Your Party - which favors small government and market-friendly reforms -- and the Buddhist-backed New Komeito, rejected the idea of joining the government anyway.
LDP leader Sadakazu Tanigaki also said his party was willing to talk about policies but ruled out any "grand coalition" -- although some analysts said that might be the only way forward.
The government's most urgent task will be to draft budget guidelines for fiscal 2011/12 from April 2011, and the market will watch to see if it can hold the line on borrowing. But bills to implement a budget could get stuck in the upper house.
"Voters were not trying to create political confusion, but that is the result," said independent analyst Hirotaka Futatsuki, adding calls for a snap lower house election would likely grow. No lower house poll need be held until 2013.
Analysts say opposition parties will drive hard bargains with the Democrats, raising hopes among some experts that a deal with the Your Party would foster the deregulation many see as vital.

Anderson Silva vs. Georges St-Pierre? Not so fast.
It appears the UFC has switched gears away from the proposed super fight and opted to put middleweight champion Anderson Silva in against the last man to technically hold a win over him, Yushin Okami, at UFC Rio in Brazil on Aug. 27.
UFC president Dana White confirmed the bout to USA Today on Wednesday.
Okami earned a title shot by defeating Nate Marquardt last year, but after Silva dispatched of Vitor Belfort in February, most thought the next fight on the horizon for the champ would be a battle to be declared the sport's undisputed pound-for-pound best fighter in a match-up against St-Pierre.
More MMA
St-Pierre of course still has a fight coming up at UFC 129 against Jake Shields. If he is to ever face Silva, it now appears to be a little farther off than many fans had hoped for.
Okami gets his second shot at Silva after an illegal up-kick from the Brazilian brought an abrupt end to their first fight at Rumble on the Rock in 2006. After being taken down by Okami early in the fight, Silva launched a head kick that knocked out the Japanese fighter, leaving him unable to continue.
Okami was declared the winner, and that was the last time Silva had a blemish on his record. Now they will look to settle the score in Brazil.
this is some crap..not saying he doesnt deserve the shot but why the hell are they gunna put all this hype on if gsp wins or not ..and now it really means nothing other then he keeps his title but everyone wanted to see that fight 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00. times more then silva vs okami just sayin..that shouldve been the backup if gsp lost
Agreed, the notion of a super-fight was bouncing around for too long, to just scrap it and go with Okami. If this was the intention all along, White shouldn't have led the fans on to believe that a fight between Silva and GSP was plausible.
exactly and especially to announce it 2 weeks before the gsp fight ..the only reason i even cared about that fight was because i want to see the super fight…but noo now were gunna see a fight of way less caliber
yea it might be a step down from the rumored "super fight" but even so they should give okami what he deserves, didnt wanna screw him to like they did pettis, but alot of ppl that wanna see the gsp-silva fight, alot including me dont wanna see that fight so happier bout this announcement
He does deserve a shot, but imo, he isn't a stellar contender. He could have easily waited, or taken another fight until GSP v Silva happened. But you're right, he was promised a shot.
That being said, if Silva does defeat Okami, by October/November, Silva should be ready to fight, and that should give GSP enough time to put on muscle to go up to MW. Could be a stretch but the timing could work out if Silva and GSP win.
Anderson Silva vs GSP will NEVER happen. Trust me folks. The hype is nice, but that's all you guys are gonna have. GSP isn't even interested in fighting Silva. I prefer this scenario.
Let him fight the last guy to put a red mark on his record. Besides, it's been a long time coming for Okami. He's top of the division whether you people like it or not. Okami's one of those fighters that doesn't lose often to just 'anybody'.
He may be top of the division at the moment, but who has he really beaten that's notable? Nate? Belcher? Split dec, with Munoz? He grinds out decisions, and struggles with guys Silva has walked through. Since Okami is a wrestler, that's about the only advantage I give him over Silva. Other than that, I don't really see why he necessarily got a shot at the title, especially after his fight with Nate (less than impressive to say the least).
You have a good point with Silva avenging a loss. That might be the major draw of this fight, even though everyone who watched their first fight knows Silva was winning and would have won anyways. But regardless, it's still a loss, and it will be interesting to see the longest reigning UFC champ avenge it.
I have always been a big fan of Dana White, but he is a serious douche bag on this one! He is stringing everyone along with all of the hype and bullshit of this superfight happening if GSP beats Shields, and now he pulls this bone-in-the-ass move! I knew he wouldn't ever put this fight together because of the mess the "superfight" between Penn-St. Pierre caused. It was hardly a superfight!
Stop jerking us off already! Now that they purchased Strikeforce I guess things are thinning out, and the fights the FANS want to see mean nothing to Dana!
You guys do not get it, what has GSP been saying this whole time, If he goes up for the superfight and needs to add weight and to do that properly he will need time to do so. If this fight is going to happen, this is the perfect timing, it allows Anderson to get in another fight to keep off the "rust" against someone who has some significance, yet is not a real threat to the title, and it is going to allow GSP 8 months to gain the weight he will need to fight the Spider, should he beat Shields.
If this thing is truely going to happen, it just got set up for December/January PPV. Hopefully Cain will be back and face the winner of Lesnar/JDS on the same card. Or if the UFC can muster the intestinal fortitude, a whole card of unification bouts between SF and UFC championships, minus the Middleweight and Welterweight titles of course.
How about this January Card UFC
Spider vs GSP
Cain vs. JDS
Melendez vs. Edgar/Maynard
Jones vs Hendo
Diaz vs KOS (WW title if GSP vacates title to stay at weight which he said he would.)
Fedor vs Lesnar
I would literally pay $100 for that PPV UFC make it happen.
Read my previous post, I said the same thing you did regarding timing. I think that could be the good thing about this, as it will give GSP the time he needs to move up, but it also puts the fight itself in jeopardy if Silva loses, which is a real possibility.
Seriously? A real possibility?! Even your last two posts suggest you agree with the majority that Okami has more chance swimming the Atlantic ocean with his refridgerator strapped to his back!
No question, this is a stay-in-shape fight for Anderson, I think you're right about that.
I also though Silva would walk through Chael too though. And both Chael and Yushin have similar styles so who knows, Okami could pull off a lay and pray win. It is a definite possibility. Like I said, he's a wrestler, so that immediately puts him in a pretty good place. I do like your metaphor though
I also agree with anyone pissed off with Dana again – I was sure he said before Silva vs Belfort that, as long as Spider and GSP won their next fights, they'd square off. Regardless of what St. Pierre would have preferred, or if this fight versus Okami is just to keep the rust off Silva, when the president essentially makes a promise like that, he needs to keep it. Or at least acknowledge he's breaking it.
And if this is a move to make the timing work better, tell us that. I guess I'm just disappointed that Dana still hasn't lived up to his promise to make up the Abu Dabi debacle.
Completely agree with you on the fact that Dana has not followed through with his promise to make up for Abu Dabi. But he can not come out and say that this Okami fight is just the warm up fight for Spider vs GSP. If he were to say anything like that if would decrease the sales of the Brazil PPV. Also we must consider the venue where this is taking place. UFC needed a strong Brazillian to headline the card, who was left. Lyota is already fighting Randy, Vitor not such a big draw after getting knocked out by a front-kick, Thiago suspended for Roids, and Nogueira
brothers either hurt or just fought and lost. THis is just like every European venue, that needs to have Bisbing on the card to sell the tickets.

Bringing you a post from the cell phone camera today.. S and I went to dinner straight from work, and I didn't have my camera with me.
I was craving Thai food after work one day, and S says his friend just told him about this place. I haven't been too impressed with Thai restaurants in San Diego thus far, so my expectations weren't too high coming in.
I believe this location used to be a Japanese curry restaurant? Not too sure. But apparently Koon Thai Kitchen has been around for over a year, as they were just celebrating their one-year anniversary in August.
The menu is pretty extensive – you can see the full menu online. S saw the words "fried roasted pork belly" and immediately made his decision. Haha.
This was definitely a Chinese-influenced dish. In particular, the BBQ pork was similar to Cantonese-style char siu pork, and the sauce had a strong five-spice flavor. S and I really enjoyed both the pork belly (duh) and the BBQ pork – flavorful and tender. It was served with a generous portion of Chinese broccoli and a hard-boiled egg – I'm not a big fan of hard-boiled eggs but still, really liked the dish overall.
Also tried the pad see ew, which is my favorite stir-fried noodle dish at Thai restaurants. You can choose your own protein, and we picked beef. This was really delicious – the noodles had nice texture and soaked in plenty of flavor without being greasy. The Chinese broccoli and beef were also well-cooked. The portion was also quite generous – I had enough left over for lunch the next day.
Overall, we were very happy with Koon Thai Kitchen. I liked it more than any of the other Thai restaurants that I've tried in San Diego, and I'm sure we will be back in the future. Hopefully next time I will have better pictures to share with you!

I'm gonna try this place one of these days, thanks for the reminder! I wonder if they're open for lunch…
I like this place! My other two thai places are Siam Nara (for more authentic, variety) and Thai pepper Cuisine (for the popular American favorites like pineapple rice, pad thai, etc)
Yes, it used to be Curry House.
I've been here a few times. They have super cheap appetizers (they're all fried though). We enjoyed their salmon salad, the pad mao kee, and the khao pad nam (their fried rice with sour sausage)…
I would like to try that fried roasted pork belly dish you guys had next time! Looks good!

you guys are always like "i want equality!" except gay people are better than straight people and women are better than men and poc are better than white people and trans people are better than cis people
if you claim you want equality, but put someone down because they're privileged, that doesn't make you an advocate for equality, it makes you an asshole
do you ever listen to music and suddenly you're like wow I want my life to be the way this song sounds I want to live in this song
when i die i want teen wolf executive producer jeff davis to lower me into my grave so he can let me down one last time
"Who's your favorite character?"
The dead one.
[Cristiano Ronaldo] scored a penalty and the ensuing celebration saw him take his shirt off and flex his muscles, much to the amusement of his teammates—and much to the dismay of many others. It gave you who love to criticise and complain about him the perfect opportunity to do just that. That's those of you who've never been carried away with the euphoria and emotion of a Champions League final win in your home country—when you're not 100 percent fit, no less. A final you gave your all to get to, scoring 16 goals on the way to it.
Oh right, that's pretty much all of you, then. Get back to me when you have done this and let me know how well you did in maintaining your composure.
being addicted to american tv shows is so annoying because you guys have so many stupid fucking holidays for everything that every other week im disappointed when I go to see if the next ep is up yet and its like nOPE it's fucking 'armadillo day' or something in the states ffs
did i actually save or did i imagine it? better save eleven more times

Sony (Ericsson) has previously stated that the company is not working on a Windows Phone product. Recent leaks of a Sony (Ericsson) design speaks otherwise, and shows a usual Sony (Ericsson) hardware design running Windows Phone. Today we got a new set of leaked Sony (Ericsson) Windows Phone images. We can't really say if this is just an old prototype (the fact that it is running an old version of Windows Phone speaks for this), or something that the company is aiming to push to the market. If it is the latter, we could hear more of it at MWC next month.

Well, there it is. I work as a corporate librarian for a global bank. Along with a team of eight other researchers and librarians, we field reference requests from analysts and other bankers during the deal-making process. It's mostly research on industries, companies, prices, historical trends, and about a million other things I didn't know I didn't know.
There's usually work waiting for me at 8:30 when I arrive, and it doesn't really ever stop—but we've got to go home at some point. While we do have a print reference collection, most of our work is conducted online through very expensive, super-slick databases that find company info, negative news, market data and whatever else we need. I spend time between about ten or so of those databases each day.
It's certainly not the traditional work I was expecting for my first reference job, but it's definitely a learning experience. It's fast and challenging. It's great to get on the phone with a panicky client and get to the bottom of what their looking for. It really is the same reference interview you might have in any school situation—except these homework assignments have quite a bit more at stake.
In the end, I'm helping patrons, growing as a researcher, and learning something new every single day. As a librarian, I can't complain.

unfollowing people because they make you uncomfortable is totally ok
if you feel youre obliged to follow someone out of fear they might harass you for unfollowing them then you should probably block them and unfollow anyways because thats unhealthy and frankly if a person gets mad for someone unfollowing them then thats uh really dumb tbh
also the biggest thing is YOU CAN STILL BE FRIENDS AND NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW THEM mutual following is NOT the only and or biggest, strongest indicator of friendship and if thats how you view friendship then um there are other ways to stay in contact
ive lost friendships/been harassed by unfollowing people but if they value your following status over friendship then theyre probably not worth it :o)
- Send an ✉ for an drunk text
- Send an ✘ for an unsent text
- Send an ☠ for a threatening message
- Send an ❤ for a lusty/loving/affectionate message
((Which, I realize, is partially because I haven't been all that focused on here. Still, if anyone is still interested in RPing with me, or just feels it's high time Ni made an IC post (especially one that isn't just the random gratuitous fanservice from Halloween XD), feel free to send me a prompt, request for a starter, question for Ni's Vlog, or whatever.))
… Okay, that SHOULD do me for feels for the next couple of days.
Maybe now I can focus on essay. Tomorrow.
[[I can't get Ganto to stop looking like Kirrahe and that kind of really weirds me out. xD He's browner and has face markings and different spots and eyes but STILL. AAEIHGEAOIHEPH]]

Jason Mraz is currently hard at work on his fifth album, and in a posting on his website , he says he's taking a somewhat fast and furious approach to the making of the disc.
Noting that the songs for the project were written fairly quickly -- over three longs weekends between between October and May -- Jason says he won't be spending a lot of time on the actual recording either. "We're only giving ourselves a little more than 2 weeks to make it, which is kind of an old fashioned approach," he explains. "It means we have to be well-rehearsed and no one gets too much time to over-think it."
Jason says he's pleased with the way things are going to date. "The result so far is sounding genuine, groovy and gorgeous. I trust many will appreciate its less-is-more approach," he adds. "Otherwise, it's back to the drawing board."
No word yet on when the new disc will arrive, but Jason says that he and his band will be road-testing some of the new material when he resumes touring in the middle of the month. The new album will be the follow-up to Love Is a Four Letter Word , which came out in April of 2012.

Featured Story
California Just Gave Us a Glimpse of How Obamacare Will Fail
Turns out no one knows how Obamacare will work - not even the big-name insurers.
And now, we're starting to see the effects of uncertainty.
Today (Thursday), the Los Angeles Times reported that United Health, Aetna, and Cigna have opted out of the California insurance exchange.
UnitedHealth has adopted a wait-and-see policy: "We are simply taking the time to carefully evaluate and better understand how the exchanges will work to ensure we are best prepared to participate meaningfully in their development," explains a spokesman to the LA Times.
Cigna resolved to participate in exchanges in only half of the 10 states where it sells individual health policies, and California didn't make the cut.
Aetna referred LA Times' questions to Covered California, the state agency in charge of implementing Obamacare.
That means millions of Californians who will have to choose health insurance from exchanges or face a penalty will not be able to pick plans from those three big insurers - signaling limited options ahead thanks to Obamacare.
UnitedHealth, Aetna, and Cigna's response to the California exchange is just the beginning.
These three companies are but the first dominoes to fall to Obamacare's less-than-clear implementation.

How the Sequester is Killing Healthcare Jobs
Sequester-driven budget cuts to Medicare are threatening to spur massive job cuts in the healthcare industry.
And the pain doesn't stop there - the sequester cuts are already making healthcare harder to obtain for some Medicare patients.
Unfortunately, this is just the beginning. The longer Congress allows sequestration to continue, the deeper the cuts will go and the more widespread their impact.
When President Barack Obama and Congress failed to reach agreement on $1.2 trillion in cuts to federal spending before March 30 -- as mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011 -- the sequester kicked in.
Medicare providers faced mandatory 2% across-the-board reductions in their reimbursements.
After the cuts went into effect on April 1, hospitals, doctors, insurers, prescription drug plans, and other healthcare providers immediately felt the impact.
In short, the sequester is delivering precisely the kind of broad, damaging and indiscriminate cuts that politicians warned would happen.
And as each day passes, the drastic consequences grow worse.

The Sequester Debate and Its 5 Biggest Lies
In a hurricane of contradictions there has been no shortage of whoppers told during the sequester debate.
Since political news is usually strategically written, placed and timed you can chalk it all up to politics as usual. Even seemingly off the cuff, innocent responses seldom are.
With that in mind here are five recent news reports where "the facts" have been spun to a point where they are simply untrue.
To counter, we've given you the "un-spun facts" you're entitled to as a taxpaying citizen.
Just don't expect this nonsense to ever end...it's what they do best.

Sequester Circus Proves How Much Washington Hates America
Politics as usual has always been hard on the American people, but with the sequester, Washington has crossed the line this time.
All the sequester craziness has proven that our elected officials are not only inept, selfish, money-squandering bozos - they're also willing to actually inflict harm on the American people for political gain.
Virtually all of the problems created by the sequester, from the flight delays resulting from furloughed air traffic controllers to cancer clinics turning away Medicare patients could easily have been avoided.
But American citizens are suffering because Washington's warring factions - the Democrats and the Republicans - refuse to solve the nation's budget problems unless, like petulant toddlers, they can get their way.
A few Congressman - too few -- have called out their colleagues.
"What we're showing is our incompetence, or our downright disdain for the American public," Sen. Tom Coburn, R-OK, said on the Fox Business program Varney & Co.

Sequestration Cuts Hit Cancer Patients While Billions Wasted
As of April 1, cancer clinics began turning away thousands of Medicare patients because of sequestration spending cuts while the University of Iowa is using almost $900,000 of taxpayer money to study whether there is any benefit to sex among New Zealand mud snails.
It's taken about a month, but the mandated federal spending cuts of sequestration have finally started to have a real impact.
Not as dire an impact as President Barack Obama warned about in the weeks preceding the sequester, but the consequences are growing more serious every day.
But what's most galling about all this is that despite the real harm the sequestration cuts are causing, wasteful government spending has continued unabated.

Sequestration Is a Gift – Not an Apocalypse
Everybody sing along...
It's a happy day... Oh happy days. It's a happy day...Oh happy days. When sequestration rules it drives the tears away... Oh happy days!
Those are the words President Obama used to describe what would result from sequestration.
Please, don't make me laugh. The sequester will not only not ruin America, it will in fact start the process of fixing what Congress can't - no, make that won't - fix.
What's the upside?
Our magnificent Founding Fathers were all together in the creation of the United States, but it didn't mean they all loved each other or that they all had the same views about government. They sure didn't. But, those differences were acknowledged and incorporated into the Constitution and sanctified - for the people - in the Bill of Rights.
That's divided government folks. This ain't socialism, though sometimes it feels like it.
And it's that nagging feeling that a slimy, slithering strain of socialism is snaking its way into mainstream politics that keeps me up at night, in case we, the people, are overrun by "them" - the usurpers of republican democracy.
Thank goodness that divided government gave us sequestration.
So, Congress can't get along. That's nothing new. The question is who gets to pander to their constituents. That's nothing new. We have sequestration. So, what? That's nothing new.
We need to cut crap out of the budget - A lot of crap. I'm sorry if that word bothers you... but I'm not allowed to use stronger language. Don't hate me because I'm fed up. You should be, too. Maybe you don't use strong language. Maybe you don't use colloquialisms (you're better then me, I grant you that, for sure) but I'm willing to bet that you're just as mad as I am.
The Republicans want to protect the rich and their tax loopholes - including carried interest. I get that, and I vehemently disagree (and believe me, folks, I enjoy carried interest). The Democrats want us all to share the cost of running a social welfare state to pander to their voting constituents. I get that, and I vehemently disagree.
So, they can't agree on tax increases (oh, wait, wait don't tell me... they did agree on $600 billion in tax increases in January, remember?) and they definitely can't agree on spending cuts. Why are spending cuts so hard? Because, silly, spending is the bread and butter that Congress feeds to their voting constituents - and campaign-backing cronies. Duh!
Sorry, I got carried away. Forget all that stuff. I just had to get it off my chest.
This is really about sequestration and how good it will be for the country.
We need to cut wasteful spending, period. What better way to do it that to take spending cuts out of the hands of Congress and put the task squarely in the hands of the departments and programs that are wasting the money in the first place? They should be tasked with making cuts and laying off unproductive people who do unproductive things. This is great!
The Budget Control Act, passed in August 2011, basically said, "Hey, if this Super Committee we put together can't cut $1.2 trillion from the federal budget over the next ten years (they were shooting for $1.5 trillion, go figure) then, by this law, sequestration will go into place to the tune of $1.2 trillion between January 2013 and October 2121."
Pretty simple, but no one figured we'd get here. Me, personally? I was praying we would.

The 9 Biggest Sequestration Lies
Though we've come to expect no better from our leaders in Washington, the sequestration lies rank among the most blatant whoppers ever to come out of the nation's capital.
Sequestration, of course, is the $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts scheduled to go into effect at midnight Friday.
Instead of working together to come up with an alternative to replace the sequester, Republicans and Democrats have spent the past several weeks playing a maddening game of political chicken.
Both parties were counting on the fear of sequestration to force the other to cave before it happened.
Toward that end, leaders of both sides have tried to sway public opinion with exaggerations, obfuscations and outright lies.
Yes, business as usual in Washington, but an affront to U.S. citizens nonetheless.
Here are some of the biggest sequestration lies.

The Sequestration Follies: How Washington Outsmarted Itself
It seems every politician in Washington is up in arms over sequestration, the devastating automatic budget cuts on track to take effect March 1.
For weeks, lawmakers on both sides have been calling sequestration a "bad idea" and criticizing any proposals put forth by the opposing party.
Politicians aren't happy that sequestration not only would cut billions of dollars in federal spending, it would also slash the budget indiscriminately with across-the-board cuts.
Just today (Tuesday), President Barack Obama urged Congress to delay sequestration for the rest of the year or risk damaging the U.S. economy.
"It won't help the economy. It won't create jobs. It will visit hardship on a whole lot of people," President Obama said. "If Congress allows this meat-cleaver approach to take place, it will jeopardize our military readiness; it will eviscerate job-creating investments in education and energy and medical research."
Listening to all the rhetoric, Americans with short memories might believe that those in Washington only have the best interests of the country at heart.
But the rest of us remember how this whole sequestration fiasco really happened. It was their idea - Republicans and Democrats, the White House and Congress. All guilty.
"The idea was that no sane person would allow such cuts to happen," Bob Schieffer, host of CBS News' "Face the Nation," said on that show Sunday. "Well, guess what. Even Washington managed to underestimate its own ineptitude."

Are Steep U.S. Spending Cuts Inevitable?
U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the chairman of the House Budget Committee, is adamant Republicans will resist any further tax increases - a staunch GOP stance that makes steep spending cuts almost certain.
Ryan, the 2012 vice president nominee, told NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday that the $1.2 trillion worth of automatic spending cuts will take effect because "Democrats have opposed our efforts to replace those cuts with others."In the NBC interview, Ryan took aim at President Barack Obama.
"I don't think that the president actually thinks we have a fiscal crisis," Ryan said. "He's been reportedly saying to our leaders that we don't have a spending problem, we have a healthcare problem. That leads me to conclude that he just thinks we ought to have more government-run healthcare and rationing."

Why We'll Be Talking About Sequestration For a Long Time
Another fiscal crisis lurks just on the horizon - a combination of the mandatory spending cuts known as sequestration and the need to raise the U.S. debt ceiling - and pundits are losing sleep trying to figure out what Washington is going to do about it.
They're wasting their time.
"The odds that Congress and the White House will ink a comprehensive deficit-reduction deal appear as long as they have been in more than two years, even though both parties acknowledge it's the only way to break the cycle of fiscal cliffs," Politico observed yesterday (Tuesday).
In all likelihood, Democratic and Republican leaders will make a last-minute deal that achieves the minimum necessary to keep the government running while putting off the harder decisions until later - three months, six months or even a year.
That's what they always do, although the script may change a little.Read More...
