On July 31, 2013, former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz signed with Bellator MMA. He was scheduled to face fellow former UFC titleholder Quinton "Rampage" Jackson in the promotion's first pay-per-view event in November. On Oct. 25, it was announced that Ortiz was forced out of the match-up due to a neck injury. The pay-per-view never materialized and Ortiz's fighting future remains uncertain.
"Tito is still with us. I've got to sit down and really download with Tito," said Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney during a media conference call on Monday. "When I initially got on the phone with the doctors, and Tito announced to us that he had fractured his neck, that was and is the primary concern. There's not a substantive answer at this point to whether he's going to come back."
Ortiz fractured his neck while preparing for the Nov. 2 bout, and the injury could be career ending.
"We're having discussions with him. The key was to get 120-percent healed," said Rebney. "It's an unsettling conversation to have a specialist in the field of neck injuries to tell you that with the right kind of drop on the head, or the right kind of impact on the spine, paralysis could be a result. That's never a good conversation: A) for a world class althete, but B) it's never a good conversation for the person in my position charged with putting that person inside of a cage to fight against top tier competition."

Facing the potential of paralysis, it seems unlikely that Ortiz will fight again. Although, it may not be probable, a return is still a possibility. Crazier things have happened.
"The concern is still there, but just like any kind of injury, or just like any kind of break, he may be able to come back from it," said Rebney. "And if he is able to come back from it, we'll relight the fuse and figure out what the steps are to get him into the cage. But right now there isn't a definitive answer in terms of when he could come back."
Ortiz's contract is basically on hold until a time where he's healthy enough to return, if that ever comes to fruition.
"If a fighter becomes injured, or is unable to compete, it's what's called tolling. The contract basically stops until such time as the fighter can compete. And when the fighter can compete and is 100-percent cleared then everything reignites and starts up again. It's almost like time stops as the fighter recuperates from an injury or gets to a position to where he can compete again," explained the Bellator CEO.
"Tito and I have got to sit down, work through it, talk about it, and if he is going to get back inside the cage, which is a distinct possibility, figure out what the best launch pad is and how he'd want to do that and what makes sense," added Rebney.

Move on Tito, we have.
"We're having discussions with him. The key was to get 120-percent healed,"
Well, that's it then. He'll never be "120%" healed.
Tito's going to break his vagina again if he gets into the octagon one last time
120% healed ? ….wow that doesn't make any sense, Rebney is a bigger clown then i thought!
Raise your boys stop fighting so they aren't totally messed up considering mom is a ringer.
I agree. If he did in fact fracture his neck I dont see him competing again. Not that I even really cared but it wouldve been nice to see him fight one last time. Also didnt he just get a DUI after wrecking his car?
The Dude isn't worth the airtime. You had your run 'Teets'…now funk – off.
He's basically retired anyways…who cares.
Time to hang em up and move on, maybe become a coach or something make his own legit team.
How could anyone be that dumb to actually want to fight after your doctor says there's a chance you could end up paralyzed/dead if you do?!?! I'm sure his up coming DUI case and repairs to his Porsche will be a bit pricey but I don't think the risks out way the rewards.
I'm sure Bellator is really loving their decision to spend an ass ton of money on him and Rampage now!
"dumb, who cares, not worth the airtime, vagina, we've moved on" and hating on his wife? Really?
You folks are reading and posting on an MMA forum. this sport wouldn't exist in its current form, have the level of talent it currently has, without legends like Tito.
Why would he want to step into the cage again? Because he's a fighter. He's devoted his entire adult life to this craft, to this sacrifice. Fighters want to fight until they die – that drive is what made him great and so influential in the sport in the first place.
I'm betting not one of you armchair analysts has ever been in the cage or spent any time around fighters. The reasons he wants to fight despite injury are the reasons he deserves your respect and why we should never write off fighters after they've passed their prime.
Getting into the cage is always dumb, always risk grievous injury, death, long term chronic health issues ( dementia, paralysis.) Being on an MMA forum, you should be grateful some men find other things to devote their lives to other than criticizing braver men on internet forums that they ought to exalt.
I'm guessing you folks also spent considerable time giggling at Anderson's injury and whining about GSP's rights to retire (while whining about his boring style.)
Fans like you don't deserve the sport.

Bridgett Terry-Sankey of Montgomery, Ala., was sentenced today to serve 24 months and one day of imprisonment for filing a false claim and aggravated identity theft, announced Assistant Attorney General Kathryn Keneally of the Justice Department's Tax Division and U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama George L. Beck Jr.
Terry-Sankey previously pleaded guilty to one count of filing a false claim and one count of aggravated identity theft on June 18, 2013. According to court documents, Terry-Sankey worked as a tax preparer at Davis Professional Tax in Montgomery. Terry-Sankey admitted that while employed at Davis Professional Tax she prepared and electronically filed four false 2010 federal income tax returns using the means of identification of actual individuals without their knowledge or permission. Terry-Sankey then caused the false refunds to be deposited onto debit cards or issued as refund anticipation loans, and she used the false refunds for her personal benefit.
This case was investigated by Special Agents of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) - Criminal Investigation. Tax Division Trial Attorneys Alexander Effendi and Jason H. Poole and Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd Brown prosecuted the case.

Yesterday I highlighted some draft prospects the Hawks believe have "NBA skills" that could be useful to them next season. Today, I'm looking at some long-term prospects the Hawks might draft at No. 24.
Understand that these lists aren't meant to be complete, nor should they be considered endorsements. These are players I know the Hawks have considered from each pool. If you don't see the player you want on these lists, it doesn't mean the Hawks won't draft them and it doesn't mean I don't like them. I'm just trying to share what I know with my blog people, narrow the Hawks' draft possibilities down a bit, and then let you explain why they have it ALL WRONG!!!
In the next post I will collect all of the final mock drafts in one spot. That way you can find those smart people who predict the Hawks will draft the guy you like.
Solomon Alabi, C, 7-1, Florida State
I think Alabi will be gone by the time the Hawks pick, and here's why: He looks the part, and scouts and GMs tend to fall in love with those kind of guys even when they are as raw as Alabi. He weighed in at 237 pounds at the draft combine and he looked even bigger than that at the Hawks workout. The fact that he's not expected to be taken in the lottery tells you how far he has to go.
"He's a young kid [turned 22 in March]," said Hawks assistant GM Dave Pendergraft. "You like the fact that he shoots [well] from the free-throw line. But you can tell he's raw. He"ll be drafted in the first round, and in a perfect world he lasts a long time [in the league]."
One person who saw Alabi's Haws workout described him as "mechanical" in his movements. So he's not a fluid athlete but he's certainly physically impressive.
"He's huge and he's a great guy," Pendergraft said. "If you are looking for someone two or three years down the road to help you, he's a candidate."
NBADraft.net describes Alabi, a native of Nigeria, as a player who could potentially be the defensive-minded 7-footer the Hawks (and all teams) covet:
"[Alabi's] physical tools make him an excellent shot blocker on and off the ball, and a likely candidate for offensive tips and putbacks off misses. . . . There's no arguing that he has the potential to become a defensive centerpiece for a team that lacks a presence in the paint."
Kevin Seraphin, F/C, 6-9, France
A knee injury nearly caused Seraphin to pull out of the draft because he couldn't participate on the workout circuit. He decided to stay in, probably a good decision since it looks like he's pretty certain to be drafted in the first round. Seraphin met with the Hawks for several hours on Monday.
David Aldridge has an excellent draft preview series at NBA.com. Aldridge projects Seraphin as a power forward and, surprisingly, places him ahead of Kentucky's Patrick Patterson in rankings that reflect "how ready players are to play the position which they are assigned."
Aldridge quotes an unnamed Atlantic Division scout on Seraphin: "It's a 100 percent fair comparison to Nene. He's strong, he's got big hands, got that athletic ability. Slightly mechacical. You know how Nene is. You can almost tell what he's going to do. Seraphin might turn out to be a better rebounder. He tracks the ball. It's going to take a while for this kid to get there [offensively]. Nene's pretty good and this kid is going to turn out like that."
Hassan Whiteside, C, 7-0, Marshall
Whiteside, who turned 21 earlier this month, played just one season at Marshall. Like Alabi, he's a true 7-footer with potential so some team is going to take him and develop him. Whiteside led the NCAA with 5.3 blocks per game.
Whiteside worked out this week for the Bucks, who own the No. 15 pick. After the session, Milwaukee's director of scouting, Billy McKinney, said it'd be a "stretch" for his team to draft Whiteside:
"A good shot-blocker, he's still very raw. He's pretty new to the game, but a guy that blocks a lot of shots, rebounds, there's a lot of room for improvement and growth in his game."
In an interview with NBADraft.net back in May, Whiteside said he worked with Hakeem to improve his defense, footwork and strength on the block.
Daniel Orton, C, 6-10, Kentucky
Just five days ago the Indy Star reported the Pacers might take Orton with the No. 10 overall pick. Then yesterday Yahoo! Sports suggested Orton might slide out of the first round because of a bad knee, poor conditioning and his reputation as a malcontent during one season at Kentucky.
I'm assuming the Hawks are still considering Orton. He canceled several workouts over the last couple weeks, leading to speculation he had a proverbial "promise" from a team, but the Hawks didn't believe that's the case. Nor did they seem too displeased that Orton didn't make a stop in Atlanta (he finally ended up working out this week for the Pacers).
Orton turns 20 in August and played just 13 minutes a game at Kentucky. There's also the aforementioned weight and attitude issues, which raises the twin red flags of work ethic and "coachability." But he's a big, strong dude with potential. He defends at the rim and actually has a nice jump shot. Some team will roll the dice on him.
Orton wrote a draft diary for the The Oklahoman and addressed his knee and his expectations but shed no light on the missed workouts.

Northside I ship Horford because we know that Josh is one of the better powerforwards in the league. Has a long term contract and has better numbers than horford, is one of the best defenders in the pro game. and is growing and growing.
Al has peaked. We dont know what he can do at powerforward but if his defense there is anything like his defense in the post….well…Yuk! Al's in the last year of a contract and will want a lot more for 12pt career and 9 rbs. His numbers are less than Smooves and hes a florida native as opposed to Josh who is a home town product. .

Hey northcyde there is a big out there on the blocks Al Jefferson. I say dump Childress in no man's land and trade our 1st rounder.

By the way the Al or Josh debate as 1 must go to get a center is a given. But its a sacrifice that worth it. I hate that either has to go, they both bring different things to the table. but hay, it may be that NJ or whom ever may get to pick which one they want and we are left with the other one. I think from that stand point again Al would be the choice because he was a All star add on and he can get a better contract for himself.

"Al has peaked."
Yeah, at 24 he's already as good as he'll ever get? Laughable, truly.
Well, if you have to peak early, at LEAST peak at an All-Star level, LOL! If peaking now means that he's an All-Star every year, I'll take it.
Only someone who HATED Al Horford could think such nonsense. Or is this some more "objective criticism"?
How "objective" is it to think a 24 year old with a great work ethic will STOP improving?
Really, is that "objective"?
Or is it more hater-ade?

drmaryb . . . that's the dilemma.
You say "what if he's the next Marvin?"
OK . . well, what if he's Baby Shaq ( and no, I'm not talking about Gary Trent from back in the day, when they used to call him "The Shaq of the MAC ( conference )"
It's a HUGE RISK, I won't deny that at all. But everybody keeps talking about "getting a center"
From where? What NBA team is willing to trade one of their good centers? The other guy dogs Horford to death, but he never mentions a legit replacement for him.
I'm not necessarily an advocate of trading one or the other. I just wanted to toss out what the reality of the situation is.
- NBA teams aren't willing to give up decent centers
- The centers we may currently be looking at now, are ALL considered to be "projects"
- Horford has expressed his desire to play PF
- Smoove, at times, isn't physical enough at PF ( even though that's his best position )
- Horford has trouble scoring against bigger centers in the halfcourt set.
- Moving Smoove to SF exposes every single one of his weaknesses as a player, and would do more harm than good to the team.
- Keeping Horford at C limits what he could potentially be as a PF
Like I said . . I'm not necessarily advocating trading any guy. But if people believe we're a legit center away from being a title contender, does that mean that we can't go any further with A as our center, and Smoove as our PF?
As we've both have said in the past, Al and Josh MUST PLAY TOUGHER. If they are the frontline, they have to be ready and willing to battle every night. And when the playoff comes, they hsve to work even harder. They need to FIGHT, not get worn down.
If those 2 don't show more fight in them, I don't know how long we can go with them as a frontline duo, if we have championship aspirations.

Northcyde ,
Great question. I like the challenge.
Tough call, but I say trade Josh Smith. I know I probably will sound crazy to some on this. But there is a reason behind it. A few, actually. Okay, maybe several, LOL. Here goes….
Cousins is full of potential and measures out great, physically. He has offensive capability and defensive capability. So did Michael Olowakandi. I'm not saying Cousins could be a bust, but if he's going to be a bust, he'll be a huge one. So if he is, and you traded Al Horford, all you have is Josh Smith, and you're out there looking for a center…. again . Josh is a good, though not yet completely accomplished PF. But he CANNOT, I repeat, CANNOT play the 5 for you unless you're playing against Golden State when they've playing 4 guards and a forward.
Most teams are looking for a good center, or at worse, a decent/serviceable one. Those that have one are in good shape. Those that aren't are merely trying to survive at the position. That includes the Hawks. But Horford is one of the best "survivors" out there. He survived to the tune of being named an all-star and averaging nearly a double double. It doesn't get much better than that when you lack a "true center."
On top of that, I have no doubts that Al can be a very good power forward. Will he be a better one than Josh? In the traditional sense, yes he can. He's got the size, strength, length. Josh is more athletic and a more natural shot blocker, but he lacks the defensive fundamentals (blocking out, using his body to defend by moving opponents off of their preferred spot) and strength that Al has. Josh is an elite weak side defender who is capable of manning the PF spot.
Al has a better jumper. Both guys can pass. The question isn't so much which guy is a better PF, as much as it is "Are you losing anything of significance at the PF spot by trading either one?"
In my opinion, the answer is no. Al provides the versatility of giving you minutes at the 4 or 5 at any time, even against bigger opponents if necessary (even if it's not the optimal situation) ….and you can survive like this. Josh gives you all the minutes at the 4 you can stand, but can't play the 5, and will be limited at the 3, particularly on offense.
That's my answer….
If Cousins were to work out just fine, it would be a big frontcourt with Al as the PF. It would work well with Smith as well, you just lose the versatility and security blanket if things don't work out…

I know man! I just don't trust this ASG to make the right Draft Pick! We need to make some kind of pre-Draft trade man. Do something! Make some Noise!
Even, sorry arse Eric Dampieer has a job. They'll let anybody play Center, in the NBA,
June 24th, 2010
6:40 pm
I did not mean for you to show your emotional side, Sautee. I sorry you interpret my evaluation of Al as "hate"
My assessment of Al "peaking" is that His career ave is 12pts. he came into the season with an 11pt average (some where in that neighborhood) and was severely criticized for his lack of offensive tools. So severely that Woodson took the blame, being the player coach that he is and said I will work with Al and tweak him to help him get better offensively. Every time I mentioned that Al was mediocre offensively you cried and quote Woodson's statement repeatly. OK as a result he went from 11.6 to 14.2 pts that equates to a basket increase per game. His career average is 12pts and his best college year was 13 point so I cant see where he can get up to the 17 18 19 or 20 pts level that would indicate some serious growth.
True he might have a 15 pt year but then again he might have a 11 pt year. The bottom line is he is what he is . Hes playing the best he can, which aint bad. But hes just about scoring as high as he can score. Hes not a Dirk with shooting or a strong slasher like Josh. What he does is work hard every night as a blue collar working who doesnt have the skills as much as he has the work ethics. Having said that, he is about as good as he gets. The upside is he will barring injury be able to be a hard worker for a long time.
Its ok to accept criticism of your hero, your god. Please try and control your emotions
Career Totals: 229 225 33.3 .527 .143 .753 2.7 6.9 9.6 2.1 0.8 1.1 362 682 12.0

The Hawks will automatically match any offer made to Childress, otherwise why hold onto his rights. If the offer is too rich for our blood, we'd do a sign and trade with him. To be honest, a starting lineup with JChildress-SF, AHorford-C, JSmith-PF, JCrawford-SG and JTeague-PG in LDrew's OFF system would definitely get the job done.

Hello, would you be willing to go to the following memorials and add your photo of the cemetery to the memorials? I have added the one for Peggy, but it doesn't give proper credit. If you could add the same photo, let me know when you do so I can go back and delete mine. If you could add the same photo to her husband's, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you!

We can post it if you want to get a photo. Maybe I should email who created the memorial and see if they can check their records of her last name.

I am not certain, all that I know about Juanita is what is posted on her memorial. It might be that the person that posted the info got the names wrong.

One Direction legal row over name
"They chose not to use a different name. They chose to press ahead, using the exact same name, One Direction, setting up the current difficulties and confusion in the United States," the US act said in their blog.
A spokesman for the UK group said: "One Direction's management tried to resolve the situation amicably when the matter first came to light, but the Californian group has now filed a lawsuit claiming they own the name. One Direction's lawyers now have no choice but to defend the lawsuit and the band's right to use their name."

The Truth Revealed8 Reviews
Rheya confronts her father.
After the band broke up, they'd become relatively unheard of. Hiding their existence and his former rock star status from her had been relatively easy. But it hadn't completely disappeared. He knew she'd find out eventually, on some random Google or youtube search or something. And now she had. He wasn't sure what to expect.
"My Chemical Romance," she said, weighing the words as though trying them out for the first time. And honestly she was trying them out for the first time. They'd never talked about his old band. "I like it. I've listened to the CDs. Kind of old, but pretty cool. And these pictures! Dad, you were cute! Your friends were cuter!"
He looked up at her warily. "That's it?"
She shrugged. "What more is there?"
"I don't know, maybe a rant about why I lied to you, or…or…I don't know, something!"
She smiled. "Well, I can yell if you want me to, but I know why you did it."
"You do?"
"Yeah. The whole, 'My father, the rock star' thing just isn't you. I am disappointed in one thing though."
He tensed. "Yeah? And what is that?"
She smiled bigger. "Drummer? Really? I always sort of pictured you as a bassist or something."
He laughed out loud at that. "Yeah, well, I guess beating the crap out of things is a Bryar family tradition that you missed out on. My little girl just had to go and steal the spotlight. Lead guitar. Frank would be so proud."
Rheya's face turned serious again. She reached down and picked up one of the pictures. She studied the faces in it for a long time. "Frank," she mused. "Was he your lead guitarist? Dad, I don't know these people. Where are they now?"
Bob shrugged. "I'm not sure. We lost touch." Rheya frowned. "What?" he asked.
"It's just…" she struggled to find the words. "Dad, I'm in a band. We play twice a week in Danny's basement. We're nowhere near as close as you guys must have been, what with living together on a bus and what not. But still, they're my life. I can't imagine ever just 'losing touch.' What happened to you guys?"
He cringed. "Long story."
"We have time."
"Are you really going to make me tell you?" he pleaded.
She stood. "Nope."
He looked at her, shocked. Something was definitely up. She never backed down that easily, not from something she wanted. "Nope?"
"But I'll make you a deal."
He rolled his eyes. "Let's hear it."
"Either you tell me, or you take me to meet them and let them tell me."
"Sit down, I'll tell you." She remained standing.
"Actually on second thought, no deal. I want them to tell me. I want to meet them, and honestly, dad, you haven't seen them in what? Forever?"
"Sixteen years."
"Sixteen years! Ok, that's it. Road trip. We're going on a serious trip down memory lane."
He shook his head. "No, we're not." His voice was firm and unwavering, but the sadness layered there was unmistakable.
"Why not?" she asked thoughtfully.
He looked up at her, choosing his words with care. "They don't…really want to see me. I'm sort of the reason the band broke up."
She didn't answer for a moment. "All the more reason to go."
He shook his head. "Dad," she asked. "Did they ever outright say they don't want to see you?"
He shook his head again. "Then we're going. That's final."

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP)- Delaware officials say UBS Financial Services has paid more than $70,000 to the state's justice department after a multi-state investigation found state securities law violations.
Attorney General Beau Biden announced this week that the settlement resolves an investigation that found that UBS failed to ensure that agents were properly registered in Delaware and other states. UBS will pay $4.58 million in civil penalties across the country.
UBS functions as a broker-dealer in Delaware, but the investigation found that a flaw in its order entry system allowed agents not registered in Delaware to accept orders from investors in the state.
Biden says the flaw wasn't noticed for six years and similar practices were used in other states.
The 14th Annual Delmarva Bike Week is underway.

This is an original character roleplay, meaning you choose your own faceclaim and create your own character by giving it a backstory, their own traits, etc.
We opened on March 22nd 2014 and the dash is like a flowing chasm.
We accept every other day, or when there is 5 apps in the app box.
Of course, but know there is a limit. Meaning your character couldn't have received results of 4 or more factions. It is also highly rare to score 3.
This roleplay is solely for Dauntless Initiates and their journey through Initiation and, unfortunately, we don't plan on changing that.
No. Unless you plot it out with a current member, we only allow one of each faceclaim.
Though it is not necessary, since we've already seen your writing abilities, you can if you'd like so that you can get a feel of your new character better.
We try to have one once every week or two, depending how what it is. A post will be made days prior to prepare you, and it will always be tagged either "initiatestask" or "initiatesevent" so you can keep tabs.
Every other day, a post will be made stating who to unfollow, who is at risk, and those that are on hiatus.
This answer basically sums it all up - [x]. As for the next rank change, it happens sporadically and always after an Event or Task - unless otherwise stated. You will be informed about a change.
Yes! Just go ahead and message us for it.
You are our child, and we love you as much as Tris loved Tobias!
Ah, too soon.

Hello, my name is James. I'm a college student attending NYU. I've recently started to cook for myself, and I enjoy it very much. My dorm has an (incredibly) small kitchen, but I can do most simple cooking tasks. The real problem is, I don't know many recipes, so I end up cooking the same thing over and over. I'm a first generation Korean-American, and I was raised on traditional Korean food. I stumbled across this website (literally) and found it very interesting. I figured because I'm Korean I might as well embrace my heritage and start learning. And I'm please to say, I am excited! But I don't know where to start! I'm finding it rather difficult to find the proper ingredients in the city. Would anyone be able to give me some pointers?

Two years difference.
So this is my boyfriend and he's unbelievably awesome. 115 freaking pounds. Proud of you!
He got a bit too skinny. Needs to build some muscle tone. All I'm saying is that he looks unhealthy.
Man, just work out a little and eat more. Not sayin you have to hit a gym or anything but maybe run, swim, pushups, sit ups, simple stuff.
Can I just add that Harrison eats 2,500-3,000 calories and does 200 pushups EVERY DAY, on top of his regular weight lifting and Crossfit workouts?
But anyways, what I wanted to say was that this guy right here lost 115 pounds (you know, just the equivalent of a teenage girl NBD) of fat over the course of two years. If he was still 298 pounds, you would tell him to lose more weight. When he's 183 pounds, you tell him to gain weight. He never said he was DONE with his journey. So instead of judging someone you DON'T KNOW off of three pictures, maybe you all should congratulate him on losing an incredible amount of weight and realize that it takes time to create the body you want. He always tells me how he is not done and never will be because his greatness has no peak.
Judging someone via a picture on the internet says a lot more about you than it does them. DO YOU EVEN LIFT, BRO?
Damn, chill. It wasn't a competition. I was just making an observation because, yes, there is no peak. I didn't say. "Oh shit this nigga needs to gain some weight he looks like he's halfway through chemo!" Did I? Just trying to be helpful and offer a potential next step. If you don't want judgement, don't post things on the internet.

Critic on a Plane
So, I just got back from Florida, and I've been working on finishing "Atlas Shrugged" for the past 2 months. The two relate because I've travelled back and forth 3x in the past 2 months and each of those 3 hours is devoted to the same task. I call it a task because the book is long and somewhat hard to read. (Mostly because I find myself relating to far too many characters I'd probably prefer I didn't.)
That being said, today on the plane, a guy asked me if I was reading Ayn Rand's novel for a class. (Which I must admit, as a thirty-something is sort of flattering, but I digress!) After I replied "no," he quickly proceeded to give me his personal opinion ("Worst book ever!") And his critique ("Far too black and white!") And of course, his very original thought on her character ("You know she's a huge hypocrite, right?") When I responded blankly, he tossed his head back in such a righteous, holier-than-thou way, it made me want to defend Ayn Rand's philosophy to the Nth, and then stab him in the fucking face. (Instead, I simply put my headphones on.) Funny how someone so openly critical is so quick to label black and white thinking.
Now, here's the thing, I'm a private reader. I don't share my viewpoints in book clubs. And, I prefer to finish a book before I attempt to discuss it. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is if you see a person reading a book, and you're trying to impress her with your brilliance, just remember Wikipedia is the same one-click away for everyone!
If this isn't paradise, tell me, what is? #HomeSweetHome
Wearing the best gift I ever received! 3 people have already asked me what it means. And, when I explained, they were absolutely horrified!

Viewing: Public Sector Strikes
December 7, 2011
N30 report from Glasgow Anarchists
Several of us in Ediburgh were on strike on November 30th. The march was attended by around 10,000 people, making it the largest march since the early 1980′s. Here is a view of the strike action from our comrades in Glasgow: November 30th, was a full, active day for Glasgow Anarchists. Those of us on strike (a teacher and a nurse) were at the early morning picket lines whilst the others cycled to many of the pickets to offer solidarity….

Symbolic protest or fight to win?
The November 30th strike is undoubtedly the most widespread strike action for many a year. With 24 public sector unions all striking on the same day, it is very welcome to see unions taking concerted action in this way. However, it's also worth remembering that it will require much more than one day strikes to be sure of a real victory and today's action will definitely need to be built on. But whether the trade unions are capable of doing…

Two years after the GTA Spano first made head turns at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show , the Spanish supercar is returning to Geneva with a new name and a production guise that will more than likely go on sale sooner than later.
The buzz surrounding the Spano's attendance at Geneva was ratcheted up a few notches after Spania GTA released a shadowy teaser image of the supercar on its site with the words "Coming Soon..."
That's about as exciting as it gets.
One of the things that made the Spano a showstopper two years ago was the comprehensive supercar package that it came with, highlighted by an 8.3-liter supercharged V-10 Bioethanol engine that produced 820 horsepower and 708 pound-feet of torque.
Well, here's some interesting news: word has it that the production Spano will once again feature the same 8.3-liter supercharged V-10 engine, except that the Spania GTA has increased the output to a stout 900 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque.
Despite the improved output, Spania GTA appears to be taking a cautious approach with the performance numbers of the Spano, saying that the supercar can hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph.
We've got no problems with that 0-to-100 km/h time, but that 217 mph top speed seems a bit conservative for a car that comes with 900 horses.
In any case, we'll find out more about the Spano when Spania GTA officially pulls the covers off of the supercar at Geneva next month.
Updated 02/25/2012: Spania GTA has released a second teaser image for the 2013 Spano supercar. The new version will make its world debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show next to a new jewelry line made by José Marín.
Update 11/05/2013: The GTA Spano made its debut at the Dubai International Auto Show today, and GTA Spania released a few new, high-res images.

"The promo suggests that TVNZ is set to completely abandon news as moderately intelligent New Zealanders might have understood it."Featured comment
TVNZ has released the first promo clip for Seven Sharp (see clip below).
As promised, the new show has more energy, if the clip is anything to go by. But it is perhaps trying a little too hard.
The Close Up re-boot will launch Monday February 4.
It will be fronted by Alison Mau, Greg Boyed and comedian Jesse Mulligan and feature Media7/Media 3 alumna Sarah Daniell on its production team.
The release of the clip this afternoon was overshadowed by the surprise resignation of TVNZ head of news Ross Dagan, the man credited with axing Close Up and birthing Seven Sharp.

Baby Girl No.2
Last Updated October 09, 2012 at 9:58 PM
My husband and I honestly thought we would have four boys, but now we're having our second girl! Unfortunately, this means we had NO girls names picked out. Ha. Now we want to plan ahead a little. We'll start with our babe due in December and keep a few others on the list so that we're ready for the next one! :)

AJC reporter Gracie Bond Staples needs your help with two stories she is working on:
The first story is about a new dangerous game that kids/teens are playing holding their breath underwater for too long? We are hearing the kids are competing to see who can hold it the longest to possible dire consequences. Have you seen your kids or other kids doing this in pools or at beaches?
Also she is working on a story about kids/teens abusing prescription drugs.
Please email or call Gracie Bond Staples ASAP at 770-263-3621 or firstname.lastname@example.com if you have thoughts on these stories.

I don't know about the abusing of others' drugs. I am puzzled about the ill effects of holding your breath too long. If you hold your breath too long, you pass out and start to breathe again. Now, if you were deep sea diving and decided to do this, it could be very bad, but I am making an assumption this is about sitting on the bottom of the pool or in other shallow water? Do kids drown themselves this way? I remember a friend whose stubborn kid would hold his breath when he was having a tantrum. I suggested to her to quit being so concerned, just walk away. At most, he would pass out, then start to breathe again. Was I wrong? It worked on breaking his blackmail.
There will be fads that are stupid that your kids may be tempted by. My older, sensible daughter in middle school rubbed an eraser on her hand so long it bled and made a scar–stupid! I gave her h3ll, told her I was disappointed in her lack of thought, and that she would have to live with the scar. I would suggest to everyone to seize the bull by the horns and talk to your kids BEFORE it happens. Warn them of the "lemmings into the sea behavior" and point out times they have been strong when urged to do something wrong by their friends. Bring up your kids to not be so swayed by what their peers tell them or are interested in, and to think for themselves! Sure worked for mine. I had a talk the last few days of school with my 4th and 5th graders about this very subject. I had them think about times when they had been strong in the face of peer pressure, and some shared examples. I hope it will help them navigate some of the rough waters of middle school!

I've just went through this with my 16 year old that's driving me nuts. We found a bottle of Atteroll in her bedroom after I sent her back to her dads for causing other caos in the house. I have no idea if she's hooked on them or was messing around with friends but I wasn't too happy needless to say and we're still not talking. She's the third child and the baby and is nothing like her older brother or sister. My friends and I can't believe their related and were raised in the same home.

we used to see who could hold their breath the longest underwater, years and years ago. we never took cough syrup, we just drank cheap beer.
June 22nd, 2011
6:35 pm
Holding your breath under water for too long? I'm with catlady on this one. Is it even possible to hold your breath "too long"? I've never thought so… Is this really an issue?
I remember as a child competing to see who could hold their breath the longest. And my kids did/do it as well. I've never given it a second thought. You hold you breath as long as you can…and come up for air when you've had enough. Dire consequences? I feel like I'm missing something.
June 22nd, 2011
7:59 pm
i get the drug thing..it is definately an apidemic…but kids have always had who can hold you breath the longest..in water and out…whats the deal with that? i think it would be hard to really hurt yourself doing that. let me know if im wrong.
June 22nd, 2011
8:20 pm
This is a joke right? Holding your breath too long underwater? EVERY kid has/does this. Slow news day huh?
June 22nd, 2011
11:48 pm
Sure you can hold your breath too long under water — until you pass out or your body instinctively gasps for air. Most kids have the good sense to come up for air before that happens, but I could see a really competitive kid not giving up soon enough.

if you are talking about a brat kid just holding their breath bc they are mad, throw a glass of water in their face
June 23rd, 2011

Surely you're joking about the dangerous new underwater breath holding game!!! Have helicopter parents gone this crazy? I'm 41, and we used to do this all the time when we were kids. When ypu can't hold it any longer, you DO come up for air! Given the fact that it's a game and all pf tbe players are standing around or underwater watching, if someone did pass out and start drowning, everyone else would haul them up or start yelling for help. The game has been around forever! What a bunch of nervous nellies some of these parents are!
June 23rd, 2011

I remember doing this once as a kid. I passed out and hit the corner of the coffee table and woke up with a knot on my head. Didn't do it again.
June 23rd, 2011

In other breaking news, some kids are hiding while others are seeking them….to dire consequences.

@ jbm..adderall is speed/ amphetamines. This is serious and, you should be talking to her (not…."not talking"). You need to drug screen her, ground her whatever it takes. Kids who are looking for this kind of high are at extremely high risk of methamphetamine use.
My neice and nephew were both rx'd adderall as teenagers for concentration and it made me crazy. My neice, who was slightly overweight, learned quickly that the medication caused her to lose weight. My nephew later experimented with meth. (he's 23 now and, I hope, drug free).
It is beyond my comprehension why we put our children on these highly addictive drugs.
If my children were taking someone else's adderall it would be every bit as scary to me as if they were using cocaine, meth or heroin. I would much rather find out they had smoked pot.
June 24th, 2011

@jarvis – too funny!
I think the only concern with trying to hold your breath is if you are in water deeper than what you can stand in with your head still above water. Yes, most of us did this as children, but if the water is deeper than your height…
June 27th, 2011
2:32 pm
I think that we have more to fear from kids popping prescription drugs that are not theirs more than the holding breath game.
As a teacher, I hear students talk about it all the time without even thinking that it's wrong. Kids have even been caught taking their parents' precriptions and selling those to their peers. Most truly see nothing wrong with it, and the schools are backing that rationale up by not punishing these students to the fullest extent.
As a parent, I will be drug testing my children a LOT. Like every week a lot. And if they are caught doing drugs, they will be put into rehab post haste.

Mr. (Malcolm) Smith goes to Washington – along with the rest of the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks to meet President Barack Obama Wednesday.
The Seahawks were invited to the White House for a ceremomy with the president to be held in the East Room.
It's a time-honored tradition for championship teams to visit with the president, and the Seahawks are not the first Seattle team to make such a trip. Others include the 1991 National Champion Washington Huskies football team and the 2010 WNBA Champion Seattle Storm.
The 1979 NBA Champion Seattle SuperSonics did not get the opportunity when President Jimmy Carter was in office.
It was the second trip to D.C. in less than a month for Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and cornerback Richard Sherman. Both attended the White House Correspondent's Dinner on May 3. President Obama used the opportunity to paraphrase Sherman's classic post-NFC Championship Game rant during the dinner.

The most recent installment of the Fast & Furious franchise spent much of its time in London, and naturally that meant another one of those interchangeable nighttime party scenes with loud exhausts, loud paint jobs, loud music and loud attire. Vice magazine went to London to check out the real tuner-car lifestyle in a documentary called Boy Racer, and in spite of not coming across a single vintage Dodge Charger or sky blue Porsche 911 GT3 RS, there's a lot of what you'd expect.
But in 22 minutes it has time to go well beyond the high-rise wings, tire smoke, neon lighting and hair-raising (literally) audio systems to look at lives beyond the meet-ups. There's the guy who bought a van to tune because the job placement center wouldn't provide money for a car, there are the two women who work in health care and moonlight as promo girls, there's the guy who crushes cars for a living and there are the police trying to let car culture live and keep people from dying.
And then there's Olly and his Burnt Tangerine Candy Orange Subaru WRX STI. The doc spends most of its time with him, and while he's just one guy with one story, he's a character as vibrant and intense as his car's paint job, and good for more than one laugh. Have a watch below.

Michael Vick and Angel Take Spotlight: Eagles QB Getting his Dog Training Lessons from NJ PetSmart Store
Found March 06, 2013 on MyTeamRivals.com:
PLAYERS: Michael Vick, Charlie Sheen
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
Michael Vick, the perennially sacked Eagles quarterback, who just accepted a significant pay cut to remain the QB for Philadelphia, seems to be getting more chances at redemption than Charlie Sheen. Vick, who's notorious for serving 23 months in prison for his role in the gruesome dogfighting ring in which pit bulls were trained to be vicious and many were killed and drowned in the process, is now apparently getting training lessons for hs dog. Wait, Michael Vick is even allowed to have a dog? Perhaps Jerry Sandusky should be allowed to be a Boy Scout leader, too. The controversial sports star announced last fall that he owned dogs. And now it seems that he's actively training his dog Angel, a Belgian Malinois, at a New Jersey-area PetSmart. It's safe to assume that the training doesn't involve electrocution when the cherished pup fails to walk properly on a leash.

Sandy • The next big thing is about to get his next big shot.
As a child, Real Salt Lake midfielder Luis Gil had youth trials with Arsenal in London and River Plate in Argentina. His skills drew interest from Manchester City and Real Madrid.
But in the end, Gil chose Major League Soccer and found a home with Real Salt Lake.
"A lot of people want to go to England, but I didn't feel like it was the right time," Gil said of a decision he does not regret.
Now, as he prepares to head out with the United States for the Under-20 World Cup in Turkey this month, Gil and RSL's front office executives know another opportunity awaits.
RSL general manager Garth Lagerwey called the tournament "the biggest stage in the world" for young talent, and there will be plenty of potential buyers in wait.
"I think we've been prepared for it for a number of years," Lagerwey said. "The last time the organization sold a player ... it was Freddy Adu, a month after the Under-20 World Cup. So there's precedent."
Adu's play in the 2007 tournament turned into a $2 million transfer fee that sent him off to Benfica of Portugal. RSL officials have already discussed how they might handle a similar situation, should offers come in for Gil after this year's tournament.
"Since we signed Luis at 16 years old, we didn't think he'd be playing for us for the next 16 years," Lagerwey said. "We hope so. But if he wants to go to bigger and better things, and people offer millions of dollars we'll all work together and find a good solution."
For now, the 19-year-old Gil's attention is on club and country.
But the dream of Europe is still there.
"Definitely," he said. "But I'm focused here right now. Real Salt Lake has made me the player I am, so I'm just taking everything I've learned from this team and using it playing with the U-20s."
Gil was a critical piece of the team's qualifying efforts. He scored on a penalty kick to beat Haiti and assisted on a goal against Costa Rica. In the quarterfinals of the tournament, Gil scored and notched an assist to help give the U.S. a berth in the tournament.
In the World Cup, the U.S. will have its hands full with a difficult group featuring France, Ghana and Spain.
"I feels sorry for those teams," Gil said when asked about the challenge ahead. "They have to play us."
Lagerwey, for one, will be cheering for Gil when play begins June 21.
"At the end of the day, we'll have Luis go play and hope he does well," the general manager said. "We'll be rooting for him and hoping that, at the end, we'll all have options."

Luis Gil
• The four-year Major League Soccer veteran is 19 years old.
• The midfielder has played in 14 games this season for RSL, scoring two goals and notching one assist.
• He will be the most experienced pro on the U.S. team in the U-20 World Cup.

As I talk to people about using a microservices architectural style I hear a lot of optimism. Developers enjoy working with smaller units and have expectations of better modularity than with monoliths. But as with any architectural decision there are trade-offs. In particular with microservices there are serious consequences for operations, who now have to handle an ecosystem of small services rather than a single, well-defined monolith. Consequently if you don't have certain baseline competencies, you shouldn't consider using the microservice style.

Collection Pipeline
Collection pipelines are a programming pattern where you organize some computation as a sequence of operations which compose by taking a collection as output of one operation and feeding it into the next. (Common operations are filter, map, and reduce.) This pattern is common in functional programming, and also in object-oriented languages which have lambdas. This article describes the pattern with several examples of how to form pipelines, both to introduce the pattern to those unfamiliar with it, and to help people understand the core concepts so they can more easily take ideas from one language to another.

Goto Fail, Heartbleed, and Unit Testing Culture
by Mike Bland
Two computer security flaws were discovered in early 2014: Apple's "goto fail" bug and OpenSSL's "Heartbleed" bug. Both had the potential for widespread and severe security failures, the full extent of which we may never know. Given their severity, it is important for the software development profession to reflect on how they could have been detected so we can improve our ability to prevent these kinds of defects in the future. This article considers the role unit testing could play, showing how unit tests, and more importantly a unit testing culture, could have identified these particular bugs. It goes on to look at the costs and benefits of such a culture and describes how such a culture was instilled at Google.
3 June 2014
Unit testing is often talked about in software development, and is a term that I've been familiar with during my whole time writing programs. Like most software development terminology, however, it's very ill-defined, and I see confusion can often occur when people think that it's more tightly defined than it actually is.

The term "Microservice Architecture" has sprung up over the last few years to describe a particular way of designing software applications as suites of independently deployable services. While there is no precise definition of this architectural style, there are certain common characteristics around organization around business capability, automated deployment, intelligence in the endpoints, and decentralized control of languages and data.

It's common for software systems to make remote calls to software running in different processes, probably on different machines across a network. One of the big differences between in-memory calls and remote calls is that remote calls can fail, or hang without a response until some timeout limit is reached. What's worse if you have many callers on a unresponsive supplier, then you can run out of critical resources leading to cascading failures across multiple systems. In his excellent book Release It, Michael Nygard popularized the Circuit Breaker pattern to prevent this kind of catastrophic cascade.
The basic idea behind the circuit breaker is very simple. You wrap a protected function call in a circuit breaker object, which monitors for failures. Once the failures reach a certain threshold, the circuit breaker trips, and all further calls to the circuit breaker return with an error, without the protected call being made at all. Usually you'll also want some kind of monitor alert if the circuit breaker trips.

Not Just Code Monkeys (OOP 2014)
This is the second part of my keynote at OOP 2014 in Munich and is a tricky talk to describe. Usually I like a title and abstract to describe what the talk is about - but this talk is a journey, and I don't want to tell you where I'm going, but instead to explore the ground with me. I will say that it starts with my biggest problem with most adoption of agile software development - the nature of the interaction between users, analysts, and programmers. It goes on to explore these roles, raising questions about the relationship of programmers to users, our responsibilities to them, and finally the Two Great Challenges that I think programmers need to face up to.

Single-page web applications often turn into jQuery soup, where application logic, DOM manipulation, and server access are all mixed together. This mixing of concerns makes such applications harder to understand and test than they ought to be. Segregated DOM is a modularization tactic that separates all manipulation of the DOM into dedicated JavaScript objects.

Workflows of Refactoring
Refactoring has grown into a well-known technique, and most software development teams at least claim to be doing refactoring regularly. Many teams, however, don't appreciate the different workflows that refactoring can be used in, and thus miss opportunities to effectively incorporate refactoring into their development activities. In this deck I explore various different workflows. I hope it will encourage teams to integrate refactoring more deeply into their work, resulting in a better designed code-bases that will make it quicker and easier to add new features.

Restoring a deleted note in Apple's notes app
I recently deleted a note on my Notes app on my apple laptop. As someone who is a paranoid keeper of backups, and usually commits all my work to a repository like git, I don't worry much about accidental deletion. But Apple's notes app doesn't have any form of version control, and it's all too easy to delete something by accident. I have a daily rsync backup and run time machine, but googling couldn't uncover a simple way of getting the note back. So in case someone else needs to do this, here's what I did.

A maturity model is a tool that helps people assess the current effectiveness of a person or group and supports figuring out what capabilities they need to acquire next in order to improve their performance. In many circles maturity models have gained a bad reputation, but although they can easily be misused, in proper hands they can be helpful.

Microservices and the First Law of Distributed Objects
When I wrote Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, I coined what I called the First Law of Distributed Object Design: "don't distribute your objects". In recent months there's been a lot of interest in microservices, which has led a few people to ask whether microservices are in contravention to this law, and if so why I am in favor of them?

Canary release is a technique to reduce the risk of introducing a new software version in production by slowly rolling out the change to a small subset of users before rolling it out to the entire infrastructure and making it available to everybody.

Making a change to an interface that impacts all its consumers requires two thinking modes: implementing the change itself, and then updating all its usages. This can be hard when you try to do both at the same time, especially if the change is on a PublishedInterface with multiple or external clients.
Parallel change, also known as expand and contract, is a pattern to implement backward-incompatible changes to an interface in a safe manner, by breaking the change into three distinct phases: expand, migrate, and contract.

Self-Testing Code is the name I used in Refactoring to refer to the practice of writing comprehensive automated tests in conjunction with the functional software. When done well this allows you to invoke a single command that executes the tests - and you are confident that these tests will illuminate any bugs hiding in your code.

Most EnterpriseApplications store persistent data with a database. This database supports operational updates of the application's state, and also various reports used for decision support and analysis. The operational needs and the reporting needs are, however, often quite different - with different requirements from a schema and different data access patterns. When this happens it's often a wise idea to separate the reporting needs into a reporting database, which takes a copy of the essential operational data but represents it in a different schema.
2 April 2014
In the early part of this century, I worked on my book Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture. One of the problems I had when writing the book was how to title it, or rather what to call the kinds of software systems that I was writing about. I've always been conscious that my experience of software development has always been focused on one particular form of software - things like health care records, foreign exchange trading, payroll, and lease accounting. These are very different to embedded software inside printers, games, flight control software, or telephone switches. I needed a name to describe these kinds of systems and settled on the term "enterprise application".

There are many factors that lead to the troubling DiversityImbalance that we find in the software community. Some of these, like the problems in teenage education that discourages girls from STEM subjects is a long term problem where our profession can't play a central role in fixing . But one factor that comes down directly to us is the alienating atmosphere that hangs over the tech community.

Over the last decade or so, Refactoring has become a widely used technique to keep a high internal quality for a codebase. However most teams don't make enough use of refactoring because they aren't aware of the various workflows in which you can use it. In this keynote talk from OOP 2014 in Munich, I explore some of these workflows: such as Litter-Pickup Refactoring, Comprehension Refactoring, and Preparatory Refactoring. I also remind people why common justifications for refactoring will sabotage your best efforts. (This talk also has a treatment as an infodeck.)

Bounded Context is a central pattern in Domain-Driven Design. It is the focus of DDD's strategic design section which is all about dealing with large models and teams. DDD deals with large models by dividing them into different Bounded Contexts and being explicit about their interrelationships.
