2 shot at Walmart in Tallahassee
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 7:17 p.m.

TALLAHASSEE — Investigators believe a disagreement over a parking space led to two people being shot and wounded outside a Tallahassee Walmart.
Police say officers responded to the shooting shortly after noon on Black Friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year. A man and a woman — discovered at the store's outdoor garden center — were taken to a nearby hospital with wounds that were not considered life-threatening. They were expected to make a full recovery.
No arrests were immediately made, but police were searching for dark green Toyota Camry in connection with the case.

Men's Trials Heat Up And Women's Junior Pro Hits The Water On Day 2
Day Two of the 2012 Nike US Open of Surfing began overcast and gloomy, but as the sun broke through mid-day, so did four determined trialists into the Men's main event. Australian vet Nathan Hedge, Brazil's Jean Da Silva and Hawaiians Keanu Asing and Torrey Meister all blazed in the final heats of the 32-man trials round, setting up for a stacked draw in the Round of 96. "Felt good to get one under my belt again," said Nathan Hedge, long-time ASP World Tour surfer who is climbing his way back up the rankings. "The trials today were tough, but it's what to be expected at the US Open of Surfing."
An uptick in swell allowed the Mens trialists to open up at the famed south side of the Huntington Beach Pier. Chest-high peaks were on offer, with dramatic exchanges for the coveted four qualifying spots. In the first semifinal, Santa Barbara rising star Conner Coffin narrowly missed out, needing only a 4 to advance. In the second semi, both Keanu Asing and Torrey Meister caught heat-winners in the dying seconds, pushing heat leader Michael Dunphy into third.
In the debut of the Women's Junior Pro, 24 up-and-comers were narrowed to eight through Round 1 and quarters. Those left will battle out the semifinal this Saturday, August 4. Kauai's Leila Hurst and Tatiana Weston-Webb had standout performances with the two highest single wave scores of the day.
Once thought of as primarily a four-day festival, the US Open of Surfing now fires on all cylinders for nine straight days both in the water and on the beach. Official estimates had Saturday's crowd at 55,000 with similar numbers today. And with autograph signings and interactive brand experience booths courtesy of Nike, Hurley and Converse, the fun will continue until August 5.
Up next for Day Three: The biggest names in surfing fill the arena as the Men's Round of 96 begins. From Mick Fanning to Dane Reynolds to the eleven-time world champ Kelly Slater, everyone's favorite pros will be out in the water, battling for another spot in US Open history.—US Open Of Surfing/Evan Slater

WHO: Alcohol kills someone every 10 seconds
(NEWSER) – The World Health Organization today released a new report on alcohol, and it's full of pretty dour stats. Among the most eye-grabbing ones, per the WHOand the AFP:
- Alcohol kills 3.3 million people worldwide each year.
- That's more than AIDS, tuberculosis, and violence—combined.
- That's equal to 5.9% of all deaths across the planet, or more than one in 20.
- "This actually translates into one death every 10 seconds," says a WHO rep.

text: I was wondering if some of you guys could share how long you prepare for a fight and what if any program do you use during this time. For example: Say you train 6 weeks for a fight. Do you train certain movements and conditioning each week and change every week or do you train everything the whole time?? I have been fighting for 2 years now and I dont have a set program I use. I stay in shape year round and train 4 weeks out from my fights. I do a little bit of everything up till week three then just light cardio and drilling moves. I would like to have a guide to follow instead of flying blindly. any help would be appreciated.

New and returning users sign inand get connected to your SSU!
Paul Le Brett remembers first thinking they were good for use in his sling shot.
They just didn't look like they belonged," he said, about the first tektites he picked up in his wanderings through the Dry Creek Valley area of Healdsburg as a young boy.
"They looked weird, but they were cool," he says. Now, nearly 50 years later, Le Brett, an SSU criminal justice major, has amassed a 1500 piece collection of the rocks that are being used to prove that the area may be the site of the largest tektite field in western North America.
Tektites have been the focus of SSU Emeritus Geology Professor Rolfe Erickson's work for many years. He announced this month at a symposium of the American Geophysical Union that new tests prove the Healdsburg-area rocks are 2.8 million years old. And, they are definitely tektites.
They have now been officially named "healdsburg-ites" and Erickson and his co authors (Stephen Norwick and Caitlin Byrd, Sonoma State University; Alan Deino, Berkeley Geochronology Center) say they are indicative of an asteroid impact whose size and location have yet to be determined.
Tests of four samples of the Healdsburg glass were made at the Berkeley Geochronology Center which included crushing them and then irradiating them to determine their age of 2.8 million years. Chemical analysis of four different tektites also confirmed their origins.
What are tektites
Tektites were made in the distant past when asteroids hit the earth at enormous speeds and the impact pushed vaporized gas into the atmosphere.
Shaped by frictional forces on the way back down to earth, the gas froze in the cold of space and rained in various shapes and sizes back onto the planet in areas spanning 1,000 miles.
Some have called them "teardrops from the moon." Ancient cultures have seen them as a source of magic and sorcery.
Geologists call the tektites littered over a large area a "strewnfield." Until this discovery, there were only four known strewnfields on the planet in the Czech republic, the southeastern United States, Indochina and the Gold Coast in Africa.
Discovery of the healdsburg-ite tektites establishes a fifth strewnfield, named after the nearest city. Tektites from these areas each have their own distinctive look and feel.
Looking for tektites
In this region, tektites are most easily found among the "pebble population" in vineyards or road cuts where the soil has been deeply churned up.
"People are somehow attracted to these strange little pebbles," Erickson says.
They seem to be the kind of things people want to pick up off the ground and throw into a mason jar or bucket until they have a "collection."
Rockhounds should be on the lookout for pebbles that are:
1. extremely black
2. have a dimpled surface or look like dark, dusty, pitted glass.
3. generally range in size from a walnut to a peach pit or an olive
See more detail in the poster's summary posted on the meeting website here.
The search is still on. If you have been collecting tektites, contact Professor Rolfe Erickson at (707) 664-1420.

Original Message
This is something that I had said to myself that I was NOT going to post or talk about, but deep down I feel some sort of obligation to share it. This is incredibly paranormal (at least in my mind it is) and I have, in a way, possibly lost a good friend over this incident.
A few weeks ago, I was going home from work and the end of the day to stop by a friend's BBQ, since it is only 30 minutes from work, whereas it is almost an hour and a half to get there from home (I have an hour long commute each way, daily.) Pretty normal shit for a Friday night hangout. There isn't much else to say about that, other than I was going to crash on the couch there since I'd only had a couple hours of sleep the previous night, and didn't want to be driving too tired at 12am.
I should mention that I'm kind of a beer snob in a way, in that I tend to only care to drink the higher ABV and "specialty/craft" beers, rather than the cheap piss-like swill that everyone else tends to drink. To each his own, but after you homebrew some good shit, and drink things like the Trappist Westvleteren Abbey Ales, it tends to change your tastes quite a bit. He had a couple Corona beers on ice, and I actually drank one for dinner. I had another one afterward but barely drank any of it, since I really can't stand the taste of that weak-ass, nasty, "beer." But, I was thirsty and the tap water doesn't taste good out in the country.
Ok, enough of that shit.
After eating, it was probably around 9 or 9:30pm and my friend turned on the Xbox 360 to look for some show to stream. His house is pretty fucking huge, and his wife had went to go lay down and nurse their baby and go to sleep. She was upstairs, and we were downstairs in the computer room which was pretty far away. You can't hear anything across the house since it is so huge, and two-stories with a bit of a bottom split-level to it as well.
At some point while he was trying to find a show, I started to feel a bit weird. By weird, I mean that I had this sudden intense rush of emotion, which was very unlike me, and there was no apparent reason why. It is hard to describe what emotion it was, because it was kind of a mix of a bunch of them. I guess it would be a mix of: import, dread, panic/worry, and sadness. It was really unexplainable and not "normal" by any stretch of the imagination.
I actually started to tear up, and started crying, which is NOT like me. Fuck, I barely even cried at my own grandmother's funeral. I'm not an emotional person, and this has always been a really big disconnect for me and my wife; the fact that I am usually unable to express emotions and shit. Stuff like that has put my marriage pretty much on the fucking rocks over the past few years. It is kind of messed up. And of course it is largely my fault, but what am I going to do about that? Change?
I've always been an introvert, and closed-off type of person that typically just wants to be left the fuck alone most of the time. Even more so with the way the world has been going the past couple decades. So, back to this weird "event."
The "Event":
With this crazy flood of bizarre emotions with no apparent cause or reason, I felt a really intense urge to write something down, or to be ready to write something down. This is partly because I had some previous "strange" experiences (not exactly like this) but that I was a lot more prepared for anything strange or weird that might happen to me in the future. In other words, I was fucking ready for some shit to go down, and to not really be caught off-guard.
My friend was watching his show, I think, but I wasn't paying attention to that, although I think the show was "American Restoration?" I have no idea if a show like that exists, since I barely watch Trash T.V., but that sticks in my mind for some reason. Maybe it was correct. I think there was something about "Pep Boys" on it. Yes, the auto parts store characters. That much I do remember from the show snippets.
He looked over at me and saw that I was essentially crying, and got kind of worried. He was pretty fucking stoned, but I was not. I had a little bit earlier, but it had been quite a while, and didn't want to smoke any weed since I would just get tired and fall asleep earlier than I wanted, and like I said, I didn't get a lot of sleep so I didn't want to go to bed at 9:30 and end up waking up at fucking 4am on a Saturday.
The conversation and what he and I were saying is fuzzy because I remember the hard details more than anything else, and with good reason. I do remember that there was an honest since of concern and I'm sure he could see in my eyes that there was a definite seriousness here, and something was up.
I remember asking in a pretty serious way, if he had any paper and pen or pencils. He was kind of defiant, and was asking why, and I was trying to say, "BECAUSE I NEED TO FUCKING WRITE SOME SHIT DOWN, DUDE!" He didn't get me any pencil or paper, and was being hesitant, so I decided to just fucking find something for myself. I ran over to the computer desk and started looking for something to write with and to write on.
I saw a cup with some pens/pencils in them, but I was in a frantic state so instead of looking through them I just grabbed a fucking handful. I grabbed the whitest piece of paper that was next to the computer and ran over to the floor to start writing whatever was coming to me.
I noticed that I had grabbed an envelope, and it said "Popular Mechanics." That right there was ..interesting.. because it was as if every small, separate event was part of the building blocks that I needed to convey this "message" of sorts. Meaningful coincidence at every turn.
I went to write with one of the pencils and the fucking thing was not sharpened. So I looked at the other pencils, and noticed that I had grabbed exactly four pencils, none of them were sharpened. Fucking great. Three yellow pencils, and one black pencil. This was funny, because what I was feeling like I needed to write was either a circle or triangle with a fucking dot in the center of it. I immediately realized that what I was trying to draw, in two dimensions on paper, was not sufficient, and this was actually "better" in a way, because I was able to represent the concept using an extra dimension of freedom by using the pencils in three-dimensional space. I was "forced" to represent the concept of an additional dimension, where writing it on paper was not sufficient. After I laid down the pencils and was looking at what I had done, I noticed that I had grabbed the rest of the beer with my left hand, and glanced over at it, noticing the word "Corona."
I immediately knew that I was representing a symbol for the Sun, and the word Corona, just like "Popular Mechanics" being the words on the envelope, was bringing that all together. At this point my friend was kind of freaking out, and was trying to take things from me, like my cell phone. This is where it got even more interesting.
Around this time, his Internet went out, and his show stopped. Also, none of our cell hones were working, and the signal there is shit anyway as far as 3G goes. He had to pay a little more attention to me now. I was getting a little fucking irate because he was trying to stop me. I said something to the effect of: GET A FUCKING PIECE OF PAPER, AND AN ACTUAL WORKING PEN OR SOMETHING (not those exact words.)
He came back with a piece of pink paper and a pen, and I started writing a couple things that came to me:
Those were the main things I wrote down. I don't know why I did, and I had not been really following anything on that comet or Egypt. Some other things kind of "popped into my head," so to speak, and I ended up getting kind of angry, as the tears of "worry" turned into tears of "fury" and I remember saying something like: "THAT FUCKER! NAME STARTS WITH A 'Z!'" I didn't know what I was talking about, but the only guy I would find related to Egypt that I'd ever heard of before was a "Zahi Hawass" though I didn't really know much about him other than he was associated with Egyptology and shit. I don't know.
I had this incredibly bizarre and terrifying feeling of an "asteroid" hitting the earth, and then my head started to spin (not literally.) Water or land? Which was worse? Water? NO. You want it to hit land? That's the only way? But it didn't feel like anything was going to hit. Corona? The Sun's corona was going to "save" everything? It was a comet, right? That's not a fucking asteroid. Would the corona affect the Earth? The pink paper? Venus? What about Venus? She needed to stay safe? I don't know, it was dizzying as fuck. It didn't make any sense. It was like a "brain radio station" tuning into all of the stations at once, it was hard to single any one thing out, but I was trying.
You can imagine that my friend was getting even more freaked out at this point. I was feeling like there was more than one thing with this comet. There were more? I couldn't verify any of this shit online with the computer, or on the phone, because the DSL Internet had so conveniently went out. Tesla? J. Edgar Hoover? Lake Vostok? Its water? What the fuck?
Somehow though I felt everything was Ok, I was calming down quite a bit after writing this shit down, and we ended up going to sleep. At least I did. It was so awkward. The next morning was even more fucking bizarre.
The Next Morning & "The Nightmare":
After waking up the next morning I went into the bathroom downstairs. My friend was making coffee and his wife had woken up. They were in the kitchen and she started talking to him. I was in the bathroom, and she didn't seem to know that. The thing with that bathroom is you can hear everything in the kitchen from there very easily. So I was essentially "eavesdropping by default" lest I plug my fucking ears. So I heard what she was telling him and it made my stomach sink.
[I should add that earlier that morning, before going into the bathroom, the Internet was working again so I went to Google "Comet ISON" and the news result that came up first was something that was posted "17 minutes ago" (at that time) and it was referring to the comet having more than "piece" with it? I don't know. I think it also may have mentioned a date around 11/28, which was peculiar considering I had to write down 11/29 for some reason.]
She was describing to him parts of a nightmare that she had that night, and she was reminding him about how she woke up crying and was freaking out. She was describing this dream where an asteroid was going to hit hit Earth, and went into some bizarre thing about "aliens" and being forced to live on this planet or something. (Us being forced, not "aliens"..) The details are a bit fuzzy (it wasn't my nightmare) and I wish I could have heard it a little bit better. She was talking about something like having a "choice" here or something. The implications of this, I'm not sure. Sounds like some cool sci-fi shit though. It was incredibly strange, and I'm not sure that I am saying all of this correctly. I can only vouch for what happened to me. There was no way for me to really verify the details of her dream then, or now.
I came out of the bathroom and at that point, she immediately appeared kind of shocked. She knew that I heard everything, or almost everything. I had heard enough, that's for sure. I don't know if he told her about what happened with me and him the previous night, but I would imagine he did. I can't imagine that he wouldn't. She had a very strange demeanor the rest of that morning/afternoon, and well.. fuck.. we all did. She wouldn't talk to me, and I wasn't about to bring that shit up. The whole situation was already incredibly fucked, so I ended up leaving a bit later. Awkward does not describe it.
A day or so after that I got a rather "nasty" text from him, so I'm probably not going to be hearing too much from him, or her, from now on. I'm sure you can imagine why..
Do I know what happened? ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT. But, it seems like she was having this nightmare at probably the same time that I was picking up on these weird thoughts and having those unexplainable emotions. I didn't get anything about "aliens" (though I have some theory as to this nature of "alien" and it isn't what we consider an "alien" as far as popular culture goes.) If the body/mind/spirit complex is at all a possible "receiver," then this could have been like tapping into the signal of her nightmare, in a way. That alone is a pretty interesting concept, in and of itself.
So there, I said it.
As I wrote in the beginning, I was NOT going to post this fucking shit, or really talk about it with many people, but I don't feel like that helps at all. I don't want to "go to my grave" withholding any potentially valuable information, especially if it feels important to share it. If anything, I could make a pretty cool story out of this, and say it was based on a true story, because it is..

Gov. Nikki Haley to sign gun bill Tuesday
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
South Carolina is in the final preparations to sign a new piece of gun legislation into law.
Governor Nikki Haley announced on her Facebook page that she will sign Senate Bill 308 into law Tuesday morning. The bill will allow those who have a concealed weapons permit to bring a gun into a restaurant or bar.
The bill, however, does come with some restrictions.
Individual restaurant and bar owners are given the choice to follow this new law. If they choose not to, the owners are required to put up a sign banning the guns. Also, if someone who brings the gun is drinking, that person is not allowed to have the gun on them.
Gov. Haley said that is an important piece to remember.
"You're not allowing people with guns to drink," she said. "You're allowing people who normally have guns to bring them into the restaurant when they normally wouldn't be able to."
Defense Attorney David Aylor said the biggest question to come out of this bill revolves around who will be in charge of enforcing the bill.
"That will something that's interesting to see exactly what they do," he said. "Will it be a situation where you'll see law enforcement going out into different bars and restaurants trying to determine if people that are carrying weapons are actually drinking or will it be left just to the bartenders, waiters and waitresses?"
Aylor also said he doubts wait staff at a restaurant will be forced to, "pat down," those whom they see drinking and possibly possessing a gun.
There has also been discussions about an increase in shootings because of this bill. Late last year, a Goose Creek mother was shot and killed when someone shot a gun in a parking lot, and the bullet went through the wall and killed her.
Aylor said there could be a chance to see more criminal activity.
"Generally speaking, the fact that more people will be carrying these into more public establishments like local restaurants or bars could definitely have some concern for potential criminal violent activity," he said.
Gov. Haley will sign the bill into law in a public meeting Tuesday at 8:30.

Journey guitarist sets date for solo album
Listen to Neal Schon on iHeartRadio
The first of three side projects from Journey guitarist Neal Schon will arrive in stores this spring.
The rocker admits he recorded So U a couple of years ago, and it's been "on the shelf" for a while. He tells UltimateClassicRock.com it came about because he "got very comfortable" in the studio as he worked on his 2012 disc, The Calling. Neal explains that once he was done he "didn't want to leave," so he called Journey drummer Deen Castronovo and Thin Lizzy bassist Marco Mendoza to join him in the studio. He says "nothing was planned out at all," but they "just kind of winged it." So U will be in stores on May 20th.
Schon adds that his instrumental project with former Journey drummer Steve Smith and keyboardist Jan Hammer is also "ready to go." He says it'll be a two-disc set with more than 80-minutes of music, but doesn't mention a title or release date.
Schon is also planning to reunite with Santana for a new album. They're expected to begin work on Santana IV later this year.

Body side molding fix
Photo 1: Clean old adhesive off the car
Saturate a cotton rag with adhesive remover and clean the old adhesive off the door. Do this in a well-ventilated area, preferably outside on the driveway. Scrape the old adhesive with a plastic putty knife and continue applying remover and wiping until the old adhesive is gone. Then further clean the surface with denatured alcohol to remove residue. Don't use abrasives. What you want is a smooth, blemish-free surface for the mounting tape.
Photo 2: Clean the molding
Thoroughly clean the back side of the molding by saturating it with adhesive remover and rubbing and scraping the old adhesive away. This can be a stubborn job, but take your time and stick with it. When the surface is free of adhesive, wipe it with a clean cloth dampened with denatured alcohol.
Maybe you're one of those people driving down the road with your rubber or vinyl side molding flapping in the wind. Well, for less than $20, you can fix this problem once and for all before your expensive molding strip ends up in the back of the highway cleanup crew's truck. At the auto parts store, pick up adhesive remover and molding tape. Then all you'll need is denatured alcohol, a plastic putty knife and clean rags.

In 1993, a severe, life-threatening diarrhea was reported in ferrets that went to shows on the Atlantic coast, or were exposed to ferrets that went to the shows. Because of the character of the diarrhea, this disease became known as 'green slime disease.' Eventually, it was suspected that the cause was a coronavirus, and because of the intestinal signs, this disease was officially named ECE (epizootic catarrhal enteritis). (NOTE: Although it has never been proven, it is still thought that coronavirus plays a role in this disease.) In addition to the intestine, the disease affects the liver, as well.
It was evident, in the first year after ECE appeared, that previously healthy adult ferrets developed diarrhea when exposed to apparently normal ferrets that had recovered from the disease months earlier, suggesting that recovered ferrets may be able to transmit the disease for a long time.
The first sign of the disease may be vomiting, then greenish watery diarrhea begins, causing severe dehydration. Some ferrets may also develop bloody diarrhea. Young animals generally recover from the disease quickly, but older ferrets tend to have more severe disease. In more severe cases, most ferrets would die in a few days without adequate treatment, and some die in spite of intensive care because they are unable to digest and absorb food, or because of liver involvement or complications due to certain bacterial infections. A ferret that has watery diarrhea for more than 12 hours is at risk of fatal dehydration. Because some of these animals are so sick, home treatment is not appropriate. They must be hospitalized until the acute part of the disease is under control because they require intravenous fluids and supplemental nutrition. Some ferrets are also treated with antacids and medications to protect the intestines. Some veterinarians recommend the use of antibiotics, as well.
The lining of the small intestine is responsible for absorbing nutrients. If it is severely damaged by ECE, the ferret can become chronically unable to properly digest food. These ferrets have intermittent bouts of diarrhea, depending partly on what they eat. They need a well-balanced, easily digested diet and a constant supply of food. Nutritional supplements might be necessary for months or for the rest of the ferret's life. Some animals have eventually returned to normal; others never can eat normally and die after several months of intense effort by their owner and veterinarian.
To protect your ferret from this disease, avoid taking him anywhere there are other ferrets of unknown status. Ferret shelters have had to change their policies because they cannot tell which animals have been exposed to the disease. Those that have recovered are capable of infecting other animals for at least 6 months and probably longer. You must be careful where you buy or acquire ferrets. A perfectly well ferret can introduce ECE into a household of susceptible ferrets, causing an outbreak of diarrhea that, without proper care, can result in deaths. Veterinary care may be prolonged and costly. You will have to decide what risks you are willing to take.

Breast Cancer Facts:
The seriousness of invasive breast cancer is strongly influenced by the stage of the disease; that is, the extent or spread of the cancer when it is first diagnosed. There are two main staging systems for cancer. The American Joint Committee on Cancer classification of tumors uses information on tumor size and how far it has spread within the breast and nearby organs (T), lymph node involvement (N), and the presence or absence of distant metastases (spread to distant organs) (M). II, III, or IV is assigned, with stage I being an early stage and stage IV being the most advanced. The AJCC staging system is commonly used in clinical settings.
A simpler system used for staging of cancers is known as the SEER Summary Stage system and is more commonly used in reporting to cancer registries and for public health research and planning. According to this system:
– Local-stage tumors are cancers confined to the breast.
– Regional-stage tumors have spread to surrounding tissue or nearby lymph nodes.
– Distant-stage cancers have metastasized (spread) to distant organs.

There is widespread scientific consensus that the world's climate is changing. Some of the effects of climate change are likely to include more variable weather, heat waves, heavy precipitation events, flooding, droughts, more intense storms such as hurricanes, sea level rise, and air pollution. Each of these changes has the potential to negatively affect health.
Climate change has the potential to impact health in many ways. While some of these are unpredictable, others are supported by considerable evidence.
As the nation's public health agency, CDC is using its prevention expertise to address climate change and is preparing for the possibility of health effects related to climate change in the same way it prepares for the possibilities of bioterrorism and pandemic influenza. As part of these efforts, experts are making use of the knowledge and experience gained from previous natural disasters and disease outbreaks.
CDC is uniquely poised to lead efforts to anticipate, prevent and respond to the broad range of effects on the health of Americans and the nation's public health infrastructure. CDC's expertise and programs in environmental health, infectious disease, and other fields form the foundation of public health efforts in preparedness for climate change.
This Public Health Grand Rounds program features nationally distinguished experts from CDC who discuss the case for the potential impact of climate change on the public's health. Also, they focus on various processes, tools and resources which are currently available, to support efforts to prepare for the affects of climate change in your state or community.

War hunt!!!!!

War hunt!!!!!
Hunt by 3 round punch smash!! Beeeelllliiiiieeeeevvvveee.
Awesome fight!
glad that after this fight we can stop with the "Give Hunt a title shot" talk that so many people actually believe.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
does hunt deserve a title shot probably not but considering the heavyweight division is only ever 2 pullouts away from putting frank mir in a title fight, it good for the fans that they can get behind the underdog with heavy hands. Especially when he's built like hunt with so many fighters using ped's and trt, think thats part of nelson's appeal too. It would bring a wider audience too with people realising these people win fights using skill not just being freaks, i know cain has amazing skills but it doesnt translate as well for the casual viewer
If Hunt beats JDS then he deserves a title shot, no doubt. I was one who was in favuor of hunt fihting JDS before the Mir fight, not due to rankings but purely because he is one of the very few in the division that can give JDS a fight on the feet.
Interesting fight and a big fan of hunt during his kickboxing days but I think he'll get soundly beat by JDS. I think he'll keep him on the outside and beat him up for 3 rounds
Hunt is on a bit or a run right now in the Heavyweigh division.
He has shown improved ground defence in last couple of fights which was obviously his weakness & hits like a truck.
I've always thought that a fight with JDS or Overeem were his best chance to get a high profile win & grab a title shot. Both guys are likely to stand with him & thats his strength.
If nothing else it won't be boring!!
I hate hype bandwagons, and this hunt hype has gotten rediculous. He was comfortably beaten in the first round against a guy barely top 10 who then gassed horribly and got knocked out with his hands sitting at his waist just asking for it...
Jds will tool hunt, he won't gas and his striking is high class. I think jds looked ring rusty in his last bout, I think he's far too talented for mark hunt and hopefully can put pay to the rediculous calls for a hunt title shot. Of course if hunt does pull off another win then he thoroughly deserves credit and any fight he's given after that...can't see it happening though
"The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war"
But if Hunt KO's him.....
.....dum dum duummmmmmmmmm....

The Foreign Ministers all believe that Palmerston is guilty.
His Majesty took up Urquhart, and recommended him to Palmerston.
She told this to Palmerston, and he engaged that Stratford Canning should not be named.
He called on Palmerston and gave it him; but without any observations.
I infer from what dropped from him that he thinks the probability of Palmerston's breaking down is not a remote and unlikely one.
This, however, Palmerston held cheap, because it did not square with his wishes.
She told Melbourne that, of all things, what astonished her most was the coolness and indifference of Palmerston.
Palmerston is triumphant; everything has turned out well for him.
Palmerston was defiantly aware that he had not answered her question.

Seattle, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - Josh Tomlin was nearly unhittable on Saturday, tossing a one-hit masterpiece as the Cleveland Indians downed the Seattle Mariners, 5-0, in the middle installment of a three-game series.
Only Kyle Seager's leadoff single in the fifth inning prevented a perfect game, as Tomlin (5-5) faced one over the minimum while recording a career-high 11 strikeouts.
"Eleven strikeouts, no walks. It was just a tremendous outing," Indians manager Terry Francona said of Tomlin's effort. "He commanded so well."
Yan Gomes hit a solo home run for the Indians, who had dropped five of their previous six games.
Roenis Elias (7-6) labored through six frames, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks for Seattle, which was riding a 6-1 stretch before being shut out for the ninth time this year.
"It was just one of those nights," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. "It was a bad night all the way around."
The Indians plated two runs in their first turn at the plate, as Michael Brantley singled home Asdrubal Cabrera and scored on Carlos Santana's double.
Michael Bourn accounted for two more runs in the fifth when he doubled home Mike Aviles and raced home on Cabrera's sacrifice fly, and Gomes made it 5-0 with his ninth home run of the season in the sixth.
Tomlin received an extra day of rest after suffering his third straight loss his last time out, and the 29-year-old righty benefited tremendously.
He set down the first 12 batters he faced and seemingly got stronger as the game wore on, highlighted by striking out the side in the eighth.
Tomlin finished off the gem with a pair of harmless groundouts to first sandwiched around Brad Miller's flyout to the warning track in center.
Seventy-seven of his 111 pitches went for strikes.
Game Notes
Tomlin's previous career-best in strikeouts was eight. His only other complete game came in his rookie year on Sept. 24, 2010 against Kansas City ... Elias had won four of his previous five decisions ... Game time: 2:24.

What's behind the mask?
By Frenche` Brewer, email@example.com, 803-777-3691
When a New York luxury yacht secretly retrofitted as a slave ship anchored at Jekyll Island off the Georgia coast in 1858, the more than 400 slaves from the Congo started a chain of events that would serve as a catalyst in the rise of the ceramic face jug tradition in South Carolina. More than 100 of them were sent to Edgefield, S.C., to work at the potteries.
But those 19th-century African-Americans found creative ways to hold on to their native customs and beliefs through hidden meanings in their songs, stories and objects like the face jugs. That these face vessels were made at all is a testament to the ingenuity of the slaves who had no legal or civil rights, nor were they typically permitted to freely express themselves.
"I started collecting Edgefield pottery because of both its beauty and historical significance," said Jim Witkowski, a member of the McKissick Museum Advisory Council and a face jugs collector. "These 19th-century face vessels are very important, tangible pieces of S.C. history, as well as being amazing American ceramic art objects."
For the first time in nearly 30 years a collection of this African-American pottery is on exhibit. Objects in the show come from private and public collections, including the University of South Carolina's McKissick Museum, which is co-hosting the exhibit until Dec. 16. "Face Jugs: African-American Art and Ritual in 19th-Century South Carolina," is a masterworks show celebrating the aesthetic power of these objects and suggesting new consideration of their uses and cultural meanings.
Today, these expressive faces featuring bulging eyes and bared teeth can seem mysterious to modern-day viewers.
Several characteristics found on Edgefield face vessels strongly suggest a link to the art of conjuring. The white eyes and teeth were made from fine kaolin clay, a material long considered to possess magical powers in West Africa. Kaolin was placed inside of and rubbed onto nkisi, the name for an object that inhabits a spirit,to activate them.
Diviners also rubbed white clay around their eyes and mouths. The kaolin eyes and teeth may have functioned in a similar way on the vessels. The sharpened teeth found on some of the face vessels mirror African sculpture. At least one example has been found with contents suggesting a link to the art of conjuring. While the ritualistic use of face vessels in Edgefield can't be proven, there's enough evidence suggesting they were more than just racially stereotypical vessels or amusing sculptural forms.
Why do they look the way they do? What did they mean in their own time? How were they used? These questions and more are explored in the exhibition and an upcoming symposium.
A symposium, "Unmasking the Mysteries of Face Jugs," is set for Dec. 7-9. Details of the symposium sessions and panelists can be found here.
"We are grateful to be partnering with the Columbia Museum of Art to bring to South Carolina an exhibit focused on 19th-century face jugs from the Edgefield District that surely will spark lively conversations about what recent research reveals about these visually compelling objects," said Jane Przybysz, McKissick executive director.

South Carolina taxpayer server hacked, 3.6 million Social Security numbers compromised
The Social Security numbers of millions of South Carolinians, as well as credit and debit card information for hundreds of thousands, have been hacked in what the state's governor described Friday as an international cyberattack.
"This is not a good day for South Carolina," Gov. Nikki Haley told reporters.
The governor explained that a "server that warehouses all our taxpayer information was breached and taxpayer information was stolen."
The state's Department of Revenue explained in a press release that it first learned of a possible breach on October 10, after which the state contracted information security firm Mandiant to conduct an investigation.
The "hole" in the system was closed October 20. Over the next several days, state authorities determined that more than 3.6 million Social Security numbers may have been affected. So, too, were 387,000 credit card numbers - though only 16,000 of those were unencrypted.
On Friday, state officials laid out efforts to determine what happened and protect the personal information of taxpayers. While noting that not everyone had their information breached, Haley urged everyone who filed a tax return in South Carolina from 1998 through now to take advantage of credit protection services being offered by the state.
"While we now have it protected, we want to make sure that everybody understands that our state will respond with a big, large-scale plan that is somewhat unprecedented to take care of this problem," the governor said.

Hradcany was founded by the Highest Burgrave Hynek Berka from Dube around 1320 as an independent town.
The town was formed by a built-up area around today's Hradcanske square that stretched up to today's U kasaren street. In 1375 Ujezd, Pohorelec and Novy Svet were included in the town by Deputy Burgrave Ales from Malkovice. In 1420, during the time of the Hussite wars, Hracany was destroyed by fire.
The area was renovated in the 1440s. At that time the built-up area comprised mainly of aristocratic houses and canon houses. In 1598 Hracany became a royal town and in 1784 it merged with Prague.
Nowadays Hradcany includes many precious historical and cultural landmarks, of which the most significant is Prague Castle – the seat of kings, ceasars and, since 1918, presidents. It belongs to the most frequently visited Prague localities.

Three Organizations Collaborate To Build on the Unanticipated Benefits from Y2K
March 7, 2000
Contact: Eleni Martin (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. General Services Administration, in cooperation with the Intergovernmental Advisory Board and the Federation of Government Information Processing Councils, published "The Many Silver Linings of the Year 2000 Challenges." The "Silver Linings" report highlights the intangible benefits derived from the massive efforts by governments and industry around the world to meet the Y2K challenge. The report can be found online at http://www.policyworks.gov/intergov.
As a result of the Y2K rollover, governments have completed the largest, most thorough housecleaning ever in the information technology field. The report states that decades-old systems have been laid to rest and that new systems are in place to provide a solid foundation for online electronic commerce and electronic government systems. With new, up-to-date networks in place, governments are in position to take full advantage of the WEB and electronic commerce to streamline their interactions with their employees, business partners and the citizens. The report goes on to say that agency leaders are more aware of the strategic value of information technology and that much tougher standards are in place to control the development of new mission critical systems.
The "Silver Linings" report was compiled by surveying program managers in Federal, International, State, and local governments and asking them to share their experiences and lessons learned in meeting the Year 2000 challenges. For more information, contact Frank McDonough at (202) 501-0291.

Lay of the Land
From historic Barri Gòtic to edgier El Born, here's a neighborhood guide to the city.
La Barceloneta: This area along a three-mile stretch of beach is chockablock with beachfront seafood restaurants, which are good but pricey.
Barri Gòtic: Barcelona's old quarter is traversed by the crowded La Rambla. Skip it and make your way up tiny side streets to La Boqueria market and down to the peaceful Plaça Reial.
L'Eixample: With the birth in the 1860's of this extension to the old town, Barcelona became one of the few European cities planned on a grid. The Passeig de Gràcia, with luxury boutiques and surreal Gaudí buildings, is the area's main artery.
El Born: The lower section of La Ribera is a medieval maze of narrow streets winding around the imposing Gothic cathedral of Santa María del Mar. You'll find cool indie boutiques and cafés.
Montjuïc: The misty mountain above the city proper is home to most of the city's best museums. Take the funicular from the Paral-lel metro stop.
When to Go
Thanks to year-round mild temperatures, Barcelona is ideal in the fall, spring, and early summer. By August, the weather turns hot and humid. Snow is rare during winter, but be prepared for rain.
Getting Around
At only 38 mostly flat square miles, Barcelona is a pedestrian's paradise. Taxis are also plentiful, cheap, and can be hailed on the street. The metro is clean and easy to navigate.
Six hot classic and new hotels.
Hotel Ohla
The room design feels Scandinavian (blond wood; clean lines), as does the in-house Finnish sauna. But Xavier Franco's Michelin-starred, modern Catalan restaurant, Sauc, is a love song to the city. $$
Best For: Boutique cool in a central location.
Hotel Arts
La Barceloneta isn't exactly remote, but this beachfront skyscraper still manages to feel far away from it all. The ace in the hole is the Arola restaurant, run by experimental-tapas whiz Sergi Arola. $$$
Best For: Luxury seekers who favor jaw-dropping views.
Hotel El Palace
A recent makeover of this grande dame added 42 suites accented with patterned wallpaper. If it's a glass of Veterano (Spanish brandy) you're after, don't miss the clubby Rien de Rien bar. $$
Best For: Lovers of the classics.
Renaissance Barcelona Fira Hotel
Jean Nouvel continues to make his mark on the city. This newcomer is all about shimmering glass, white-on-white rooms, and a chic rooftop pool. $
Best For: Design junkies.
Mandarin Oriental
The first hotel by designer Patricia Urquiola, on Passeig de Gràcia, is a mix of cream-colored leather ottomans and chairs, delicate latticework, and pine. Bonus: renowned chef Carme Ruscalleda's Moments restaurant. $$$
Best For: Sophisticated travelers in search of a little Zen.
Hotel España
Just off La Rambla, the renovated hotel's sleek but spartan rooms are enhanced with faïence murals in common areas by native modernisme painter Ramon Casas. $
Best For: Budget-minded art buffs.
Hotel Pricing Key
$ Less than $200
$$ $200 to $350
$$$ $350 to $500
$$$$ $500 to $1,000

T+L Tip: For an insider's shopping tour of the city, book with antiquesandboutiques.com.
See + Do
The city of Gaudí has countless art gems. Four to get you started.
DHUB: In this design center's new zinc-and-glass building, Les Glòries, what was formerly a disparate web of craft, textiles, ceramics, and graphic-design collections will be housed under one roof.
Parc Güell: For a concentrated dose of Antoni Gaudí, take a stroll through this whimsical garden complex built in the early 1900's on a hill overlooking the city in Gràcia.
Fundació Joan Miró: Hidden among the trees of Montjuïc, architect Josep Lluis Sert's gleaming white structure shows off six prolific decades of works by native surrealist Joan Miró.
MACBA: Richard Meier's 1995 stucco building contains an impressive collection of 20th-century and contemporary art: Clemente, Fontana, Matta-Clark, Tàpies.
Barcelona is full of experimental restaurants, seafood shacks, and, of course, tapas bars.
Tickets: Ferran Adrià and his brother Alberto's first spot since closing El Bulli is a sophisticated tapas place with serious eats: liquid olives; tissue-thin tuna belly with tartare and salmon roe; algae tempura. Don't miss the house-made seasonal sorbets. $$$
Alkimia: Cerebral, offbeat takes on traditional Catalan dishes are the standard at chef Jordi Vilà's sleek space. The menu includes tenderly cooked seafood (rice with langoustine and ñora peppers) and grilled-to-perfection meats (gizzard with Campari sauce and pickles), accompanied by an excellent wine selection. $$$
Abac Restaurant & Hotel: Despite the far-northwest location, this high-end restaurant serving deconstructed neo-Catalan cuisine has been a power-lunch destination ever since chef Jordi Cruz earned it a second Michelin star this year. Order raw hamachi with cherries and cucumber snow followed by violet ice cream with yogurt and flower nectar. $$$$
Sagàs Pagesos, Cuiners & Co.: The ingredients here come from chef-owner Oriol Rovira's nearby farm, but recipes are globally inspired: bo ssäm (Korean pork buns); chicharrones; sheep-milk curd with rosemary honey. $$
Can Maño: Join the locals and line up outside this no-frills seafood canteen in La Barceloneta for fried artichokes and calamari washed down with amber-colored Moscatel wine. 12 Carr. del Baluard; 34/93-319-3082. $$
Tapas Crawl
Our three-stop itinerary of the city's best authentic bars.
Bar Celta Pulpería: Feast on marinated octopus a la gallega and razor clams at this dive in El Born. 50 Carr. de la Princesa; 34/93-315-0006. $$
Quimet & Quimet: Classic smoked dishes with a twist draw crowds every night. Try the salmon topped with honey. $$
Tapas, 24: Small plates and truffle-laced ham-and-cheese sandwiches are chased with balls of chocolate mousse at chef Carles Abellan's popular new venue. 269 Carr. de la Diputació. $$
After Hours
Four new hot spots.
Bocachica/The Apartment: You'll find the usual Spanish cocktails at these two upscale bars, but the atmosphere—regional antiques and a touch of chinoiserie—is one of a kind. $$$
Fàbrica Moritz Barcelona: Architect Jean Nouvel just renovated this 19th-century three-level space, which includes a popular microbrewery and wine bar. $$
Dry Martini: Behind a dimly lit wood-paneled bar are row upon row of gin and vermouth bottles, which white-tuxedoed waiters mix expertly. $$$
Restaurant Pricing Key
$ Less than $25
$$ $25 to $75
$$$ $75 to $150
$$$$ More than $150
Local Take
Get an insider's peek at the city from three natives.
Carles Gaig
Chef of the Michelin-starred Restaurant Gaig
Barcelona has everything I could ever want in a city. I buy fresh produce for my restaurants at La Boqueria market, in the old quarter. Xampanyet ($$), in El Born, is my go-to spot for a glass of cava and tapas. (Try the tinned mussels and clams.) When I need inspiration, I go hiking in the Collserola Mountains. They have a wide variety of plants and are only a 30-minute drive north of the city center.
Josep Bohigas
Architect behind El Born museum
Perhaps it's because I'm an architect, but I like to see Barcelona from above. The Atalaya cabin ride above the city at Tibidabo park is magical. On weekends, I enjoy exploring the Turó de la Rovira (Carr. de Marià Labèrnia), a hilltop park and the site of a civil war antiaircraft battery. For a sky-high meal with 360-degree views, Torre de Alta Mar ($$$$), a restaurant at the top of a tower with a cable-car station to Montjuïc, has a delicious creamy risotto with prawns.
Rosa Esteva
Designer of luxury women's-wear label Cortana
My new favorite spot to eat is Bar Mut ($$), which serves excellent eggs with shrimp and pine nuts—it's packed with locals. Another place I love: the backyard terrace of Cafè 1907 ($$$), in Sant Gervasi-la Bonanova. The food is organic, and the vibe is laid-back; it's like being in a private house. For shopping, I'm a fan of the contemporary jewelry at Magnolia Antic. Nearby is the Pink Peony, where you can get a great massage.
Trips Out of Town
Girona: Eighty minutes away by train, this ancient city has Moorish and Romanesque buildings and one of Spain's top tables, El Celler de Can Roca ($$$$).
Sitges: Spend a day strolling the narrow cobblestoned streets and beaches of this resort town, roughly 45 minutes southwest by train.
Cadaqués and Port Lligat: Drive two hours north to the whitewashed seaside town of Cadaqués, the stomping ground of Marcel Duchamp, Federico García Lorca, and Salvador Dalí.

Hill: What am I entitled to?
October 1, 2012
Re: "Reconsider your recpath manners," by Marj Werstak, letters, Sept. 20
Summit County Bike Guide breaks it down: featuring 30 mountain bike trails, road/recpath rides, topo maps, plus USA Pro Cycling Challenge Stage 5. Biking is big business and will continue to trump quite rides on the recpaths.
Every year it's the same clash whether on recpaths or the slopes: Easy versus extreme. Truth is: life in the mountains isn't about manners and etiquette, safety versus speed. It's about entitlement. Ask yourself this question. What am I entitled to?
Are you here to extend your participation in the comfort and convenience you think you are entitled to? If so, then the product will be safety first and foremost and your promotion of feeling secure. But security has its price. There will always be confrontation with the xtreme which is the by-product of demanding the easy while promoting the secure at the expense of the xtreme.
The mountains are not safe. They are by their very nature xtreme. It's not for leisure but living large they exist. I came to the mountains a decade ago to learn to snowboard. It cost me the comfort and convenience of living safely. This year will be my 10th season on the slopes and 70th year of life. This will also be my first year wearing a helmet. (I recently had a bout with blood clots in my legs and I'm not up to a clotted brain.) Most would say I'm crazy to keep riding. Guess I am but I'd rather go out extreme than safe and secure. Why because that's my entitlement.

Roundup: Volleyball closer to SEC title
Published: Friday, November 9, 2012 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 10, 2012 at 1:11 a.m.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The No. 16 Florida volleyball team inched one match closer to their hopes of an SEC title with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-16, 25-19) sweep of the Missouri Tigers on Friday evening at the Hearnes Center.
The Gators move to 20-4 on the season and 14-1 in the SEC while the Tigers fell to 17-9 in 2012 and 8-7 in conference play.
Three-time SEC Freshman of the Week Ziva Recek turned in 17 kills against the Tigers, hitting .405 on the night. In the backrow, sophomore defensive specialist Holly Pole registered one of the best nights of her young career with a match-high 12 digs, despite only playing three rotations.
"I can't say enough about the performances of our younger players tonight," Florida coach Mary Wise said. "Of course, Ziva's kills stand out and she's had a phenomenal year. If the season ended today, we'd be talking about how Ziva had one of the best freshman seasons in program history.
"I think you also have to mention Holly Pole's play tonight. She was great on defense and serve receive. I think tonight was one of the best matches of her career. She's been playing on a different level recently."
Middle blockers Betsy Smith and Chloe Mann, an Eastside alum, notched 10 and nine kills, respectively, while setter Taylor Brauneis dished out 40 assists and added five kills of her own.
Florida travels to Oxford, Miss., to take on the Ole Miss Rebels on Sunday afternoon. First serve is set for 2:30 p.m. on AM-850.
Cross Country: At Tallahassee, Florida's squads emerged out of the NCAA South Region Championship at Apalachee Regional Park with third- and fourth-place finishes on the men's and women's sides, respectively, the men with 67 points and the women with 122. After falling shy of top-two NCAA automatic qualifying bids, both Gator squads will await potential team and/or individual at-large bids to the NCAA Championship on Nov. 17, to be announced on NCAA.com by noon today.
A total of 10 points separated the second, third and fourth-place team finishers on the women's side in an extremely tight race, with Vandy eventually being tabbed second (112), Georgia third (115) and Florida fourth (122) behind host squad FSU in first (24). On the men's side, the Seminoles earned the team victory (27), while SEC institutions Georgia (48) and Florida (67) rounded out the top three team squads.
