The Triassic Period marked the beginning of major changes that were to take place throughout the Mesozoic Era, particularly in the distribution of continents, the evolution of life, and the geographic distribution of living things. At the beginning of the Triassic, virtually all the major landmasses of the world were collected into the supercontinent of Pangea. Terrestrial climates were predominately warm and dry (though seasonal monsoons occurred over large areas), and the Earth's crust was relatively quiescent. At the end of the Triassic, however, plate tectonic activity picked up, and a period of continental rifting began. On the margins of the continents, shallow seas, which had dwindled in area at the end of the Permian, became more extensive; as sea levels gradually rose, the waters of continental shelves were colonized for the first time by large marine reptiles and reef-building corals of modern aspect.
The Triassic followed on the heels of the largest mass extinction in the history of the Earth. This event occurred at the end of the Permian, when 85 to 95 percent of marine invertebrate species and 70 percent of terrestrial vertebrate genera died out. During the recovery of life in the Triassic Period, the relative importance of land animals grew. Reptiles increased in diversity and number, and the first dinosaurs appeared, heralding the great radiation that would characterize this group during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Finally, the end of the Triassic saw the appearance of the first mammals—tiny, fur-bearing, shrewlike animals derived from reptiles.
Another episode of mass extinction occurred at the end of the Triassic. Though this event was less devastating than its counterpart at the end of the Permian, it did result in drastic reductions of some living populations—particularly of the ammonoids, primitive mollusks that have served as important index fossils for assigning relative ages to various strata in the Triassic System of rocks.
The name Trias (later modified to Triassic) was first proposed in 1834 by the German paleontologist Friedrich August von Alberti for a sequence of rock strata in central Germany that lay above Permian rocks and below Jurassic rocks. (The name Trias referred to the division of these strata into three units: the Bunter [or Buntsandstein], Muschelkalk, and Keuper.) Alberti's rock sequence, which became known as the "Germanic facies," had many drawbacks as a standard for assigning relative ages to Triassic rocks from other regions of the world, and so for much of the 19th and 20th centuries Triassic stages were based mainly on type sections from the "Alpine facies" in Austria, Switzerland, and northern Italy. Since the mid-20th century more complete sequences have been discovered in North America, and these now serve as the standard for Triassic time in general. Meanwhile, studies of seafloor spreading and plate tectonics have yielded important new information on the paleogeography and paleoclimatology of the Triassic, allowing for a better understanding of the evolution and extinction of life-forms and of the paleoecology and paleobiogeography of the period. In addition, paleontologists continue to be occupied with defining the lower and upper boundaries of the Triassic System on a worldwide basis and with understanding the reasons for the mass extinctions that took place at those boundaries.

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration is working on extending school nutrition standards beyond the cafeteria to vending machines and school stores. The National Automatic Merchandising Association said it expects to learn from the U.S. Department of Agriculture within the next few weeks about the requirements the proposed guidelines will impose on school vending services.
Details of the proposed regulations have not been released, but health advocates and food and beverage industry officials are speculating that the rules will be similar to those for the new federal school lunch program, which limit sugar, salt and fat content.
The Department of Agriculture in January unveiled new nutrition rules for school meals aimed at improving child nutrition and combating childhood obesity. The rules represent the first major change to school meal standards in more than 15 years. | READ MORE

J Street Rolls Out the Red Carpet for BDS (COMMENTARY MAGAZINE) Omri Ceren 03/19/12)
Source: http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2012/03/19/j-street-conference-red-carpet-bds/
Commentary Magazine
Commentary Magazine Articles-Index-Top
These posts, about J Street conference speakers who advocate anti- Israel boycotts and sanctions, are becoming an annual tradition. Last year the ostensibly pro-Israel group hosted BDS advocates from fringe left-wing Jewish groups, raising questions as to why J Streets commitment to expanding the debate over Israel only seems to involve stretching the spectrum to include the anti-Israel side.
This year J Street is hosting the book launch of Peter Beinart who will wonders never cease just published an op-ed in the New York Times calling for a Zionist BDS campaign that would seek to economically suffocate all Israeli Jews who live beyond the 1948 armistice lines.
(1) In practice which is to say, outside of Beinarts singular too- clever-by-half advocacy theres no such thing as a limited anti- Israel boycott. There isnt this critical mass of Western activists waiting to learn from Peter Beinart which Israelis theyre supposed to like and who they need to ostracize, and takes either shallow narcissism or revelatory cocooning to believe otherwise. Meanwhile the Palestinians talk about Israeli chains that spread like cancer, a nice rhetorical reminder that boycott movements get their strength not just from revulsion but from the cheap superiority to be found in feeling revulsed. Israel doesnt actually make all that much in the West Bank, and the typical attraction of BDS has far more to do with chasing the never-quite-adequate pleasure of hating those people of indulging in an ugly sneer at the thought of rotting Israeli goods and suffering Israeli families than with utilizing objective economic leverage.
Thats why calls for so-called targeted BDS routinely metastasize into calls for total boycotts of the Jewish State. In Britain efforts to label products from settlements spurred greater efforts for full boycotts. Partisans inclined to hate Israel hijack not just the campaigns but also even the physical forums where partial vs. full BDS gets debated. The consistency with which that dynamic has played out raises questions about whether limited BDS advocates are merely naive.
(2) BDS is such a vulgar advocacy that even Norman Finkelstein, who once made John Mearsheimers list of good Jews, cant stomach it. He recently lashed out against the cult in general, and he was specifically bothered by the nudge-wink pretense that BDS advocates can somehow untangle their campaigns from wholesale calls to wipe out Israel:
Finkelstein got into trouble when he said that some people in BDS dont want Israel. He lectured his BDS colleagues: Stop trying to be so clever, because youre only clever in your cult. The moment you step out, you have to deal with Israeli propaganda They say, No, theyre not really talking about rights; theyre talking about they want to destroy Israel. And in fact I think theyre right, I think thats true.
In fact, Finkelstein said, it is not an accident, an unwitting omission, that BDS does not mention Israel: They know it will split the movement, because theres a large segmentcomponentof the movement that wants to eliminate Israel. You can see why anti-Israel people were offended to hear this from Finkelstein, of all people. Yet Finkelstein was not revealing some deep secret about the motives of those BDS-ers. Anyone who has listened to their leaders, read their papers, seen them at play, or checked out their circle of acquaintances, supporters, and collaborators can hardly be surprised.
It would be great if someone could push Beinart on Finkelsteins points, especially on the issue of left-wing BDS disingenuousness. The odds of that particular conversation happening at the J Street conference are, for obvious reasons, not particularly great.

We know you've all been waiting for our Daily Perfumes by the amount of emails and letters we have received from you, begging to know when they will be back in stock. Not to mention all the people coming to the stores. Well, Sabon Daily Perfumes are back!!!! And better than ever!
Not only did we get ALL of them back, but we also got a brand new one – Noam. It is a gentle vanilla based perfume and it smells amazing. So when all of you are planning to run to the Sabon stores and pick up your Oneg or Zohar try a little bit of Noam. You won't be disappointed.
We finally got the Daily Perfumes back to the stores on Christmas Eve. For us working that night it was like opening holiday presents. We all immediately put them on and business in the Sabon stores literally stopped for 30 minutes as we all huddled around the perfume boxes.
It's good to have them back. Good to smell like Sabon again.
To you who have only recently discovered Sabon and have never tried our perfumes; they are all Eau Du Toilette Perfumes with light and gentle fragrances for everyday use. The unique blends were created in Normandy, France,
exclusively for Sabon and in cooperation with Daniel Gapso, the international fragrance specialist.
We especially recommend Oneg, which is the closest to the Sabon signature fragrance – Patchouli Lavender Vanilla. It is a mixture of Patchouli and Vanilla sticks from Madagascar, with notes of chocolate, toffee and citrus extract.
The True Essence of Pleasure.

Lady Flames Place 3rd for Best-Ever ECAC Finish
Aided by event victories by Meghan Burggraf (800) and Mychelle Cumings (shot put), the Liberty women's squad earned the third-place trophy at the ECAC Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships, which wrapped up on Sunday at the Boston University Track and Tennis Center. It was the highest-ever ECAC finish in program history. Meanwhile, the Flames came in fourth in the concurrent IC4A meet.
Prior to this weekend, Liberty's best ECAC indoor finish was 11th in 2012, while the Lady Flames' highest ECAC placement overall was a seventh-place effort at the 2007 and 2012 outdoor competitions. The Lady Flames finished with 44 points during the three-day meet, trailing only ECAC champion Connecticut (75 points) and Cornell (64 points).
The event championships by Burggraf and Cumings on Sunday marked the first time since the 2002 ECAC Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships that the Lady Flames won multiple events at the same meet. That year, Heather Sagan won the 1,500 and Andrea Wildrick took home the pole vault title.
Not to be completely overshadowed by their female counterparts, the Flames' total of 52 points put them just two tallies behind Connecticut and Albany, which shared runner-up honors in the final IC4A team standings. Cornell took home the title with 76 points. This is Liberty's fifth top-five finish in the last seven years at this meet.
Women's ECAC Day 3 Recap
A week after being named Big South Women's Outstanding Field Performer, Cumings was one of the top women's field performers in Boston. Her top shot put mark of 52-9.5 outdistanced runner-up Margo Britton by a foot and a half, giving the Tennessee native her first ECAC indoor event championship. Cumings previously claimed the ECAC outdoor discus crown in 2013.
Burggraf also won in convincing fashion, as the redshirt senior's personal-best 800 time of 2:06.84 put her more than a second in front of Georgetown's Becca Deloache. It was Burggraf's first career ECAC title, and she joins former teammate Jaime Watson (2008) as an ECAC indoor 800-meter champion.
Ansley Gebben came in seventh in the 400-meter dash final, clocking a personal-best time of 55.48 seconds. She moves up to second place in program history, trailing only Watson.
Junior Jacy Christiansen broke the school record in the women's 3K on Sunday with her 9:38.90 effort. Christiansen, who won her heat and placed 13th overall in the event, bettered the previous mark of 9:44.62 set by Jennifer Klugh on Jan. 20, 2012.
Men's IC4A Day 3 Recap
Fred Fulton was the Flames' top finisher on Sunday, claiming runner-up honors in the shot put with a personal-best 59-4.25 heave on his fifth throw. He also climbed into third place on Liberty's all-time list in the process.
Teammate Jacob DeValve added more than two feet to his previous shot put personal best, reaching 55-0.25 for ninth place in the event. Four of the redshirt senior's throws landed beyond his previous best of 52-8.25, and DeValve now ranks seventh in program history.
The Flames pulled down 16 points in the sprints on Sunday, thanks to the duo of senior Conroy Smith and freshman Stephen Racanelli. In the 60 dash final, Smith placed third in 6.93 seconds with Racanelli following close behind in fifth at 6.95.
Later on, Racanelli won his heat and finished third overall in the 200 dash, thanks to a personal-best time of 21.38 seconds.
One day after breaking the school record, the Flames' 4 x 800 relay quartet of Jacob Onifer, Colin Schultz, Trevor Hope and John Sherret came in sixth in the final with a time of 7:31.83.
Kenny Scott came just 2.75 inches away from placing in the men's long jump in his IC4A debut, coming in 10th with a 22-7 leap.
Caleb Edmonds recorded a season-best 3K time of 8:09.57, coming in 13th in the event.
Liberty will open the 2014 outdoor track & field season on Friday and Saturday, when the Flames and Lady Flames travel to Myrtle Beach, S.C., for the Coastal Carolina Invitational. The meet will be contested at Doug Shaw Memorial Stadium.

As employers face cutbacks during tough economic times, Auburn University's College of Business has opened a new facility to give its students an edge in landing that first job.
The college opened a 5,400-square-foot Office of Professional and Career Development last fall to allow students to interview onsite or through video conferencing with companies around the country.
"We are very excited about our facility and the assistance we offer business students," said Jimmy Lawrence, the office's executive director. "We help students with career development, as well as with their professional development as it relates to choosing majors, choosing careers, interviewing for internships and searching for jobs."
The facility is located in a remodeled, first-floor section of the College of Business Building and has eight interview rooms sponsored by local and national businesses, a conference room for group interviews and an employer conference room where visiting employers can debrief at the end of the day.
A video conferencing system allows recruiters the option of interviewing Auburn students without having to spend travel dollars.
"Video interviews are a great way for our students to talk with employers, who otherwise might not travel to Auburn," Lawrence said. "Students can broaden their geographic area to reach more employers, while companies can save money and time on initial rounds of interviews. Afterward, the company might arrange for the student to visit its headquarters."
Two resource areas are available for undergraduate and graduate students to research potential employers. A lounge and open space allows for employers and students to interact and have presentations alike.
"Former Dean Paul Bobrowski had the idea in 2007 to expand career services offerings in the College of Business," Lawrence said, "and Dean Bill Hardgrave has been a champion of the office since joining Auburn in 2010.
"Our vision is to continue to propel the college upward among the most elite business schools regionally and establish ourselves as a business school targeted nationally by employers seeking our talented students."
Auburn officials visited and studied business career centers at Indiana University, Purdue University and the University of Kentucky while formulating plans for construction. "We used ideas from each school and incorporated them into our large, first-floor area," Lawrence said. "The result was a very functional, high-tech facility in a convenient location for students and recruiters."
Funding for Auburn's business career office is generated from a student professional fee and support from organizations and individuals.
The donors include Aflac; AT&T; Deloitte; Ernst and Young; KPMG; David A. Luck of ABC Supply; the Richard P. Nicholas family; State Farm Insurance; Alabama Power Company; Carr, Riggs and Ingram CPAs and Advisors; Andrew and Kayla Gannon of EDSCO Fasteners Inc.; Gifford Hillegass and Ingwersen LLP, certified public accountants and advisors; Momma Goldberg's Deli; PricewaterhouseCoopers; and Thomas W. and Patricia M. Tripp.
Lawrence says the office continues to work closely with the university's Career Center in Mary Martin Hall.
"The Auburn University Career Center has been a great partner with our Office of Professional and Career Development in the College of Business," Lawrence said. "We have worked together in some unique ways to share resources and ideas during these tough economic times."
Employers interested in recruiting at Auburn may contact Lawrence at (334) 844-7203 or email@example.com. Students enrolled in a College of Business academic program may stop by 101 College of Business Building or call (334) 844-7203 for more information about the Office of Professional and Career Development.

Arrested For Having A Boyfriend
I almost got arrested today. I don't want to write about it. I don't want to think about it but I feel like I have to put it down somewhere.
I almost got arrested today.
This is what happened. I was upset so my boyfriend took me to my favorite place when I'm in this kind of mood. A somewhat shady end of the city place that's usually nice and private. We were in the backseat of the car. We weren't doing anything. He was sitting and I was lying on my side with my head in his lap and he had his arm resting on my waist. He was worried that I was cold so he took off his shirt in one of his moments of chivalry and covered …

Excellent Product

Best Uses
We have a beautiful deck and could never use it during the day in the summer months because it is just to hot. This product willl allow us to finally use the deck as it is supposed to be used.

NASA's proposed Asteroid Redirect Mission will robotically capture and then redirect a small asteroid into a stable lunar orbit, where astronauts can safely visit and study it. The asteroid could remain in place for several decades, allowing NASA and its partners to conduct scientific investigations and develop capabilities for deep-space exploration.
This mission aligns current agency investments into one integrated mission portfolio — including an increased asteroid observation campaign, development of an asteroid capture spacecraft powered by advanced solar electric propulsion (SEP), and a robust manifest for NASA's new Space Launch System (SLS) heavy-lift rocket and Orion crew vehicle.
Experts have developed a range of criteria to select a suitable target asteroid for the redirect mission. The ideal candidate will be in a natural orbit that brings it close to Earth in the 2020s, and could be up to 10 meters in diameter, which would fit snugly onto a racquetball court. At that size, even if it survived entry into Earth's atmosphere, it would disintegrate before hitting the surface, so the mission poses no risk to our planet.
While options for the specific capture mechanism are in the early stages of engineering review, NASA has ongoing investments in SEP, which uses power converted from sunlight to produce a continuous low thrust at very high efficiency levels, which substantially reduces the amount of propellant needed.
In late July, NASA conducted its asteroid mission formulation review, which brought together agency leaders from across the country to examine internal studies proposing multiple concepts and alternatives for each phase of the mission. Currently, NASA is assessing the more than 400 responses received to a request for information in which industry, universities, and the public offered ideas for the initiative.

STATEHOUSE (Feb. 1, 2013) – State Sen. Travis Holdman (R-Markle) recently welcomed the following students to the Statehouse to serve as Senate pages:
Pages spend a day at the Statehouse touring the historic building, observing debates from the chamber floor and interacting with their state senators.
"Participating in state government for a day is a rewarding opportunity," Holdman said. "As always, I encourage students from across the state to take advantage of this program and learn firsthand how bills become laws."
Students in grades six through 12 can participate in the page program on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays through April 4.

Charles Forster, inspired by the hand-carved picks used by Brazilians, saw huge potential in mass-producing wooden toothpicks in the US. He got Boston inventor Benjamin Franklin Sturtevant to create a machine that was capable of producing millions of toothpicks a day by 1870.
The real genius was in Forster's marketing campaign: One of his ploys was to have Harvard men eat at restaurants and demand a toothpick after their meal. They'd make a fuss when none was available, and when the toothpick salesmen came around a few days later, the restaurant managers bought in.

When my grandmother asked if I'd interview her for a project that the public radio station was hosting in her hometown of Indianapolis, I knew she meant StoryCorps. Naturally, I said yes. I routinely linger in my car, listening to the StoryCorps excerpts aired weekly on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition"—day-brightening audio clips of ordinary people reminiscing about their lives. While I'd often thought it would be neat to visit a StoryCorps recording booth with my 86-year-old grandmother, it seemed unlikely we'd get to the permanent studio in New York City's Grand Central Terminal. That is, until a StoryCorps MobileBooth rolled into town. The gleaming Airstream trailer, one of two that travel the United States, was a surprisingly comfortable spot for our 40-minute conversation about Grandma's life. We sat at a table with two large microphones in front of us; StoryCorps staffer Yuki Aizawa ran a sound check, and then we began.As with any oral history project, the key is asking the right questions to engage the storyteller. So before our interview, I consulted StoryCorps' online Question Generator. I typed in our names and our relationship to each other, and the site produced a list of questions about growing up, marriage and raising children, working, war experiences and more. I checked off a dozen questions, then edited and rearranged them. I shared them with Grandma in advance, so we were both comfortable with the direction of our chat.We talked about her parents, her upbringing, her marriage, her three children. We talked about how she supported herself after my grandfather died. And we talked about her experiences as a "celebrity": You may know my grandmother as Dave's Mom, who puts her son firmly in his place during segments on "Late Show with David Letterman." She described her trips to the Winter Olympic Games in Norway and Japan as a "Late Show correspondent, and her annual Thanksgiving Day appearances on the program.Grandma couldn't have imagined her life would take the unusual turns it has. And this 40-minute capsule hardly seems to capture her 86 years. But our StoryCorps session was an important way for us to connect and share. When our interview ended, we received a CD recording, a copy of which will be archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. What we really walked away with, though, was another fond memory.Interested in learning more? The StoryCorps Web site offers great resources for gathering oral histories, including a do-it-yourself guide. The site's Question Generator is helpful, even if you don't participate. You also can find dates and locations for both MobileBooths.
It's exactly what you think it is: lots of old-timey pictures of men with impressive mustaches. The photos come from the collections of the University of Kentucky Archives.
This site could be a great resource for putting a date range on your forefather's facial hair, but unfortunately, the dates of the photos aren't included in the daily blog posts. They are, however, categorized with humorous descriptions, like "Business Mustache," "Faceshelf," "Perfect Specimens" and "Battle Mustache."

Carolina League record-breaker goes 23
Unlikely hero Frawley delivers game-winning single for K-Tribe
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | June 12, 2011 5:12 PM ET
By shortening up, of course.
The Indians sealed their 3-2, 23-inning victory over the Myrtle Beach Pelicans when Frawley -- choking up on his waning bat -- delivered a two-out single to score Roberto Perez from third base.
"To be honest, I was just trying to get on top of something and get a ground ball," Frawley said. "When you play that many innings, you're going to feel tired and your swing can drag. ... My arms were gone; I tried using my hands."
Frawley's 10 fingers ended a game than spanned nearly seven hours, saw the sun replaced by artificial lighting and an announced crowd of 1,179 whittled to a smattering of about 50 at Historic Grainger Stadium.
History alo was made: No Carolina League game -- none of the past 36,601 -- had ever exceeded 21 innings. On July 5, 1998, Wilmington topped Danville, 3-2, in a game that featured 15 pitchers and 27 position players. Sunday's record-breaking affair comprised 15 and 28, respectively.
When Frawley stepped to the plate for his final at-bat, he was 1-for-10 with six strikeouts -- he'd singled in the first inning, not long after the game began at 1:30 p.m. ET -- before coming through against Kasey Kiker (1-2), the Pelicans' seventh pitcher. The Indians had only two hits in 24 chances with runners in scoring position, while Myrtle Beach was 1-for-13 in the same situations.
Frawley is no stranger to coming through in the clutch. Cleveland's 17th-round Draft pick in 2009 out of Stetson University recalled a walk-off homer last June 20 to clinch Class A Lake County's first-half division title.
Kinston had an even better opportunity to score the winning run an inning earlier: Delvi Cid, who batted for Bo Greenwell in the opening inning, singled, stole second and advanced to third on an error. Cid was joined on the basepaths by two teammates with none out, but Tyler Cannon (0-for-8) struck out and Doug Pickens (0-for-9) grounded into an inning-ending double play.
"They just turned a great double play," said Frawley, a fellow middle infielder. "I definitely thought that we were going to win in that inning."
Hours earlier, Kinston appeared well on its way to a timely victory, taking a 2-1 lead into the ninth. But Indians All-Star closer Preston Guilmet suffered his first blown save in 15 opportunities this season when he allowed Mitch Hilligoss' game-tying RBI single.
The Pelicans almost grabbed the lead on the same play as Santiago Chirino tried to score from second base on Hilligoss' clutch hit but was thrown out at the plate by left fielder Tyler Holt.
"That was huge," Frawley said. "We have all the confidence in the world in Preston -- he is an All-Star closer -- but they ended up knocking him around a little bit."
After Guilmet's exit, five Kinston relievers combined on 14 scoreless innings, concluding with three strong frames from lefty Chris Jones (2-0).
"They went out there and did an unbelievable job," Frawley said. "That kept us loose; we weren't staying tired with out heels on the ground."
Before Kiker's significant matchup with Frawley, five Pelicans also combined on 14 shutout frames. The last of the five, left-hander Chad Bells, completed five one-hit innings before he was lifted at the start of the 23rd.
The game also began as a pitching duel. Kinston's Brett Brach and Myrtle Beach's Joe Wieland both allowed a single run through six innings, with Wieland striking out nine.
Sunday was a normal day for the starters, who had plenty of time to ice their throwing shoulders. The position players had no such luxury. Among the most exhausted was Perez, who fell a triple shy of the cycle and played 23 innings behind the plate for the K-Tribe. He went 4-for-9 with his first homer of the season and scored all three runs.
"We've got a few guys with sore knees," Frawley said, "but we have a doubleheader tomorrow and we're looking to win two."

I had a very strange incident awhile back where I called Apple because I was having issues with my i4 and my Apple Care Reg. # and serial # of my phone was actually linked to somebody else. It took me 7 months to get the issue sorted out. The saddest part of it all is that they had an AT&T (me) serial linked to somebody that had a Verizon phone (the OTHER person). I was later told by Apple that there was 9 different repair claims on devices as well as a replacement iPhone 4 was given to this person on my Apple Care account. I believe (after experiencing it first hand) that Apple has a lot of flaws in their apple care service plans.
Oh man even when I was in high school, stolen iPhones was such a lucrative business.
By law, Apple is required to return the device to the person who sought a repair. If anyone that the girl in the news post talked to knew their stuff, they would have said to seek police assistance who can then request that Apple hand over the repair information in order to catch the thief.
exhibit A for why Apple dgaf:
Apple isn't the police. Plus, think of how many people buy used iphones with warranty still left on them. they'd have to report to apple the new ownership, and would apple transfer the warranty to the new owner? be careful what you ask for.
If the police try and request personal information (serial number, IMEI, date of purchase, etc), then things can be done.
I wish manufacturers, not just Apple, were required to check serials with the stolen property lists just like nearly every pawn shop is required to. That would kill off much of the 'reseller thief' risk that is prevalent nowadays.
And yes I do know how this is, considering I was in such a situation about 3 years ago. I had a 'Genius Bar' survey asking about a recent service show up in my inbox about 2 months after my 3G disappeared near a local university. I contacted Apple and the police about it (I had it reported stolen), but nothing happened. Very much disheartening.
Ex Apple employee here. At the few stores I worked at we were told we couldn't mark anything as stolen in the system. (and just to let you know there is not a check box that says "stolen") I also saw all the time people come to get the phone fixed and I had to change the name on work document to match the new clients name. Once you bring in a product for repair we USUALLY had to get your info and put that on the ticket/documentation which in all reality changes ownership (it matches that name with that serial number and IMEI)
they dont even have to steal your phone....all they need as the IMEI number and a stolen credit card. They call apple and request a repair saying they have no apple store near them, apple sends them a new iphone using the stolen credit card info, and mails them a refurb, expecting the defective unit to be returned...but when its not returned, they just charge the CC
i know this because i used to buy alot of iphones to sell on ebay (sealed), and one day a few months later i get an email saying my replacement phone is being shipped to some random address in another city couple hours away, when i never even activated the phone (the IMEI was linked to me because i give my email address for the receipts when ipurchase them knew instead of paper receipt) . i made apple aware of what was up but i dont think they changed their policies....
so when youre buying a new iphone on craigslist and it comes with the refub box (which apple never gives you), you know how this phone was obtained.....
No not 24/7 365 a year... rather upon owners request.
I have no idea why Apple does not have "reported stolen or lost" S/N data base. They don't have to go hunt ppl down but they could forward that information to the police.
Say you lost an iPhone, or someone snatches it... go to or call Apple and tell them so and provide an email you can be reached at... if in the future they see that that s/n was activated or brought back for repair all they will have to do is shoot you an email. You can than take that email and "proof of purchase", and of course few cops and recover your device. As it stands all it shows is that they don't care about ppl stealing other ppl stuff. There just isn't an argument against what I am saying. I am pretty sure tho that they just simply are trying to keep them selves out of loop but its very wrong, especially considering how worshiped they are by some ppl.
It's pretty simple, really!
These people don't care because they see this as a victimless crime! ("oh you lost your phone. too bad! did you have insurance!?)
Additionally, they ALL get MORE SALES-MORE MONEY BY REPLACING THE LOST ITEM RATHER THAN RECOVERING IT!
I personally lost an Iphone 3GS that was jailbroken and had all my CD's on it, ETC. The Police, ATT, Apple, none of them did ANYTHING to help me. Even after I filed for lost item. I asked all of them if they could track my iphone and they said NO.
I know this is a lie, because I witnessed an auto accident and called the police on 911 and in 5 minutes a cop car was at the scene asking me if I was the guy who called 911! Money talks and ******** walks!
So I ended up purchasing an Iphone 4 for $300...Lucky ME...WTF!
With only a warrant demanding your info be handed over to the Feds, an American carrier will disclose (often without notifying you):
Your IMEI/MEID
Your known ICCID(s)
Your IMSI
Your last known location(s), as triangulated from multiple cell sites.
Next warrant is sent to Apple. That gets the serial number of your phone, ECID, UDID, and Apple IDs tied to that phone's IMEI. If Apple also has access to your GPS logs, they will turn that over too.
If the right prosecutor calls the right people at Apple and the carrier, they'd go from warrants issued to data in hand inside of fifteen minutes. It's a joke that the average citizen cannot get that same information in regards to their own property and services they're paying for.

Die Hard 5 Earns 12A UK Rating
The BBFC passes judgement on AGDTDH
The fifth film in the Die Hard franchise, the confusingly-titled A Good Day To Die Hard, has been given a 12A rating by the British Board of Film Classification, even though it was classified as an R over in the US.
You can read the BBFC's guidance below, but be warned in advance that it contains the words "mild innuendo". Oo-er!
"The film contains four uses of strong language ('fk') and a partial use of 'motherfer', the end of which has been cut short so the implied strong language is not heard in full". *
"Against a backdrop of explosions, car chases and the destruction of property, there are a number of scenes featuring shootings which occasionally show brief bullet impacts, but there is no focus on blood or injury. In scenes of hand-to-hand combat we see brief punches and kicks, impressionistic rifle butt blows and an implied, but unseen, neck break. Although there are some crunchy sound effects and incidental shots of the heroes with blood on their faces and clothes, no detail of injury is shown.
"A Good Day To Die Hard also includes scenes of gun threat to the head and several brief shots of knife-blades as the heroes prepare to defend themselves. There are also passing references to 'doing drugs' and some mild innuendo."
A few notes from our end. A partial use of motherfucker? If the word motherfucker is going to be used in a Die Hard movie, chances are it'll be said after the words "Sniff my cheese!" "Yippee-kay-yay" so expect that catchphrase to be more muted than previous instances. Also, as previously hinted at, "mild innuendo" sounds more Carry On than John McClane. Sad, but true.
A Good Day To Die Hard will motherf*er its way into cinemas on February 14.

|Home > Guides > Core Developers Guide > Configuration Elements > Namespace Configuration
The namespace attribute subdivides action configurations into logical modules, each with its own identifying prefix. Namespaces avoid conflicts between action names. Each namespace can have its own "menu" or "help" action, each with its own implementation. While the prefix appears in the browser URI, the tags are "namespace aware", so the namespace prefix does not need to be embedded in forms and links.
Struts 2 Namespaces are the equivalent of Struts Action 1 modules, but more convenient and flexible.
The default namespace is
"" - an empty string. The default namespace is used as a "catch-all" namespace. If an action configuration is not found in a specified namespace, the default namespace is also be searched. The local/global strategy allows an application to have global action configurations outside of the action element "extends" hierarchy.
The namespace prefix can be registered with Java declarative security, to ensure only authorized users can access the actions in a given namespace.
A root namespace ("/") is also supported. The root is the namespace when a request directly under the context path is received. As with other namespaces, it will fall back to the default ("") namespace if a local action is not found.
<package name="default"> <action name="foo" class="mypackage.simpleAction"> <result name="success" type="dispatcher">greeting.jsp</result> </action> <action name="bar" class="mypackage.simpleAction"> <result name="success" type="dispatcher">bar1.jsp</result> </action> </package> <package name="mypackage1" namespace="/"> <action name="moo" class="mypackage.simpleAction"> <result name="success" type="dispatcher">moo.jsp</result> </action> </package> <package name="mypackage2" namespace="/barspace"> <action name="bar" class="mypackage.simpleAction"> <result name="success" type="dispatcher">bar2.jsp</result> </action> </package>
If a request for
/barspace/bar.action is made, the
/barspace namespace is searched for the
bar action. If found, the
bar action is executed, else it will fall back to the default namespace. In the Namespace Example, the
bar action does exist in the
/barspace namespace, so the
bar action will be executed, and if "success" is returned, the request will be forwarded to
Falling Back to Foo
If a request is made to
/barspace/foo.action, the namespace
/barspace will be checked for action
foo. If a local action is not found, the default namespace is checked. In the Namespace Example, there is no action
foo in the namespace
/barspace, therefore the default will be checked and
/foo.action will be executed.
In the Namespace Example, if a request for
moo.action is made, the root namespace ('/') is searched for a
moo action; if a root action is not found, the default namespace is checked. In this case, the
moo action does exist and will be executed. Upon success, the request would be forwarded to
Getting to the Root
If a request is made for
/foo.action, the root
/ namespace will be checked. If
foo is found, the root action will be selected. Otherwise, the framework will check the default namespace. In the Namespace Example, the
foo action does not exist in the root namespace, so the default namespace is checked, and the default
foo action is executed.
Namespaces are not a path!
Namespace are not hierarchical like a file system path. There is one namespace level. For example if the URL
/barspace/myspace/bar.action is requested, the framework will first look for namespace
/barspace/myspace. If the action does not exist at
/barspace/myspace, the search will immediately fall back to the default namespace
"". The framework will not parse the namespace into a series of "folders". In the Namespace Example, the
bar action in the default namespace would be selected.

Ship Weight:0.35 Servings:9 Dosage:2 Cookie(s) Flavor:Cinnamon Josef's Gluten Free Cinnamon Square Cookies - 8 oz. formerly known as "Josef's Gluten Free Graham Crackers" Square Cookies As a crisp, light snack or crushed into a flavorful pie crust, Jo-Sef 's highly acclaimed square shaped cookies have an appealing balance of delicate refinement and wholesome, flavorful goodness. Cinnamon Cookies are loaded with cinnamon flavor and are a favorite choice for superb pie crusts. Josef Gluten Free is the result of the parent quest to find great tasting foods for those who suffer from Celiac Disease. After much research and experimentation, the right recipes for every food that would normally be missing in a gluten free diet were perfected. Jose'f reputation for the teastiest Gluten Free baked goods is well deserved. Every loaf of bread and cookie is baked with you in mind, so you get only the very best! Nut Free Lactose Free/Dairy Free Casein Free Vegan Gluten Free Egg Free Wheat Free No Preservatives Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Are Josefs products all certified gluten-free? A: All Jo-Sef products are CSA certified which means they meet the strictest criteria for absence of gluten in product ingredients, processing and packaging. The CSA Recognition Seal denotes the most risk-free choice for all people eliminating gluten from the diet. CSA requires that we address all ingredient, production and training elements, and products are tested using the most sensitive ELISA test presently available in the United States. The R-Biopharm RIDASCREEN™ Gliadin test has a lower limit of quantification of 5 parts per million. Products must test below the level of quantification of this test to qualify for the CSA Recognition Seal. Q: I'm one of those unlucky people who are lactose intolerant in addition to being glucose intolerant. Are their products lactose free? A: Lactose intolerance is actually quite common in people with celiac disease, and often improves once the small intestine has completely healed on a gluten-free diet. In addition to being gluten free, all Jo-Sef products are lactose free. Q: I've noticed their products are Kosher. Under which Kosher supervision are their products manufactured? A: Jo-Sef products are certified kosher by the Orthodox Union. The OU is the world's most recognized and most trusted kosher symbol. Any product bearing the symbol must meet the high, exacting kosher standards of the Orthodox Union. Q: What exactly is celiac disease? A: Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease in which the lining of the small intestine is damaged from ingesting gluten. Normally, your small intestine is lined with tiny, hair-like projections called villi. Resembling the deep pile of a plush carpet on a microscopic scale (villi is literally "shaggy hair" in Latin!), the intestinal villi absorb vitamins, minerals and nutrients from the food you eat. Celiac disease causes continuous damage to the villi. Without villi, the intestinal lining becomes less like a plush carpet and more like a tile floor, and your body is unable to absorb nutrients necessary for health and growth. Instead, necessary nutrients such as fat, proteins, vitamins and minerals are eliminated with your stool. Q: Is celiac disease hereditary? A: Yes. If someone in your immediate family has it, chances are 5 to 15 percent that you may have the disease as well. Q: My child has been diagnosed with celiac disease. How should I handle the situation? A: As a parent, your attitude towards tackling this lifelong condition will directly determine how your child perceives and relates to it. Adopt a:" ":e than you might have expected. With positive healing results and your continual reassurance and support in maintaining this diet, your child will have the tools needed to accept and face the dietary challenges head on. Q: Are gluten intolerance and celiac disease the same? A: Not necessarily. Gluten intolerance is a broad term which includes celiac disease, also known as celiac sprue or gluten enteropathy. Celiac disease is generally recognized as the most severe form of gluten intolerance. However, a person suffering from gluten intolerance doesn't necessarily have full-blown celiac disease. All celiac patients suffer from villous atrophy, but villous atrophy is only one possible result of gluten intolerance. Gluten intolerance can potentially cause a large number health problems. In the absence of villous atrophy, gliadin antibodies indicate gluten intolerance. Although some assume that gluten intolerance is less serious than celiac disease, non-celiac gluten intolerance can sometimes be as severe as celiac disease, and there is no evidence that celiac disease is the end stage of gluten intolerance. Q: I have recently been diagnosed, but tests show that I have been suffering from celiac disease for many years. Is it possible that I have suffered irreparable damage? A: Fortunately, the villi in your small intestine will begin regenerating as soon as you stop consuming gluten. Some people see improvement in a matter of days. Complete healing and regrowth of the villi may take several months in younger people and as long as two to three years in older people. Stick to a gluten-free diet and you will get better! Q: Is there a connection between celiac disease and fertility? A: A 2000 study in Italy found that "celiac disease may impair the reproductive life of affected women, eliciting delayed puberty, infertility, amenorrhea and precocious menopause. Clinical and epidemiological studies show that female patients with celiac disease are at higher risk of spontaneous abortions, low birth weight of the newborn and reduced duration of lactation." The authors suggest a gluten-free diet as the only method of prevention and treatment. Q: Should celiac patients avoid oats? A: A small subset of celiacs have avenin-reactive mucosal T-cells, causing them to be sensitive to oats in addition to gluten. Most celiac patients can safely tolerate oats, yet many studies found celiac patients having adverse reactions to oats. The problem is often one of cross contamination. A 2004 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that no commercial brand of oats were reliably gluten-free. Patients who want to incorporate a modest amount of oats in their diet should seek out certified gluten-free oats to avoid contamination issues. Q: How can I be sure that the food I buy is totally gluten-free? A: Make sure both raw and processed food products are manufactured in a gluten-free facility. With awareness of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity at an all-time high, there is an entire industry devoted to creating gluten-free foods. Check the package for reliable certification to be sure that besides being gluten-free, the product doesn't contain gluten via cross-contamination. About Josefs Josef Gluten Free is the result of a parent's quest to find great tasting foods for those who suffer from Celiac Disease. Their initial reaction to this diagnosis was relief. At least, (they thought) the solution is simple: all they'd have to do to see their son improve is keep him on a gluten-free diet. But as soon as they were ready to start, reality hit them. What would their son eat? Who would help them? They found the answer within their hearts and in their own kitchen. They researched, experimented, tested and tasted until they found the right recipes for every food their son would be missing in a regular diet. He took snacks to school, ate delicious sandwiches for lunch and even enjoyed pizza parties. Slowly friends and neighbors started asking about their new "bakery" and as word got around they were inundated with calls for recipes and requests to accept orders for those unable to bake. Friends who had children who were allergic to dairy or eggs were also thrilled to have another address where they could find foods their children could enjoy and share. The immediate and enthusiastic response to their efforts was evidence of the tremendous demand for gluten-free products and encouraged them to continue in their mission. The rest of Josefs Gluten Free's history is...history. Today, their son is doing remarkably well, and their attempt to help him avoid gluten has turned into something much larger than they could have ever envisioned. They have reached out and helped thousands of people with their high quality alternatives to the standard gluten loaded fare. In addition to being gluten free, all Josef products are egg free, cholesterol free, lactose free, peanut free, additive free, and preservative free. And they're kosher too! Their reputation for the tastiest, freshest, and healthiest gluten-free baked goods available on the market is hard earned and well-deserved. Everything they sell is baked with their son in mind; he deserves the very best, and so do you!

Dominican Republic tops Puerto Rico for WBC crown
San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Edwin Encarnacion's two-run double in the first was all the offense his team would need, as five pitchers combined on a three-hit shutout to help the Dominican Republic complete an undefeated run to the World Baseball Classic title with a 3-0 victory over Puerto Rico on Tuesday at AT&T Park.
Dominican Republic starter Samuel Deduno (1-0) struck out five and allowed just two hits and three walks over five frames before Octavio Dotel, Pedro Strop and Santiago Casilla each spun a scoreless inning in relief.
Fernando Rodney held Puerto Rico hitless in the ninth to complete the shutout, as the Dominican Republic became the first team other than Japan to win the WBC in the third edition of the event.
"I'll tell you one thing: Tonight we're going to celebrate, tomorrow we're going to celebrate and Thursday we're going to worry about spring training," said Dominican Republic second baseman Robinson Cano, who was named MVP.
Jose Reyes stroked a double and a triple to go with a run scored, while Erick Aybar plated the other run for the Dominican Republic, which beat Puerto Rico three times en route to the first undefeated run in WBC history.
Starter Giancarlo Alvarado (0-1) gave up a pair of runs on two hits and a walk in the first inning for Puerto Rico, which defeated two-time defending champion Japan to advance to the title game.
The Dominican Republic wasted little time jumping on top, thanks in large part to Reyes' leadoff double in the bottom of the first.
Reyes then moved to third on Aybar's sacrifice bunt before Cano was intentionally walked to put runners on the corners.
Puerto Rico's decision to walk Cano backfired, as Encarnacion followed with a double into right-center field that scored Reyes and Cano to give the Dominican Republic a 2-0 lead.
The Dominican Republic added an insurance run in the fifth, as Alejandro De Aza reached on a one-out bunt single before moving to second on Reyes' groundout. Aybar then plated De Aza with a line-drive double to right field to put his team on top by a 3-0 margin.
Puerto Rico's best chance to score came in the seventh when Mike Aviles smacked a leadoff single and Alex Rios followed with a walk.
Strop then took over for Dotel on the mound and quickly ended Puerto Rico's rally by striking out Carlos Rivera and pinch-hitter Pedro Valdes before getting Jesus Feliciano to pop out into foul territory to end the inning.
"I've got to tell you, we had some opportunities to score some runs, but that's when they got nastier," Puerto Rico center fielder Angel Pagan said of the Dominican Republic's relievers. "They put the pitches where they wanted and they kept us from the bases. That was the difference tonight."
Casilla was able to keep Puerto Rico off the board in the eighth despite issuing a leadoff walk, while Rodney worked around an error in the ninth by fanning the final two batters he faced to secure the title for the Dominican Republic.

WATCH: AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' gets classical makeover
Listen to AC/DC on iHeartRadio
AC/DC is getting the 2Cellos treatment. The classical duo is putting their spin on the Australian group's hit "Thunderstruck."
And 2Cellos are making a splash with their official video to the song. The clip has the look of an 18th century concert, featuring an audience that seems better prepared for Mozart than metal. While some onlookers can be seen gently headbanging along others appear shocked by the performance -- which includes them pounding on their instruments and playing while rolling around on the stage. And their version of "Thunderstruck" leave the crowd dumbstruck. The clip ends with the audience just staring back at the performers in silence once the song is over.
"Thunderstruck" is the second AC/DC cover from 2Cellos. Their second album, In2ition, includes a rendition of "Highway To Hell," featuring a guest appearance from Steve Vai. The 2013 disc topped the chart in their native Croatia, and peaked at number four on the Billboard Classical Albums chart.
Check out AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" like you've never heard it before!

Alumna of the Year and Others Honored - Henry and Grace Kamp
Wednesday, 16 June 2010
The Trinity Family
"Family" is a word that is often used to describe the feeling of community at Trinity Christian College. It has been even more literal for the members of the Kamp family.
Henry and Grace Kamp are long-time supporters of the College and have had many children and grandchildren, as well as in-laws, attend, including: son Lambert '81 (Lori '87); son Bob ex '82; daughter Judy VanderWall '85; daughter Brenda Harms '88 (Dennis '89); and daughter Mary Vos '92 (Robert '88). This fall, three of their grandchildren will have enrolled.
"We are thankful for Trinity because our kids received a good, Christian education with a Reformed foundation," said Henry.
Henry served on the Board of Trustees from 1980-1986 and was involved with the building of the Jennie Huizenga Memorial Library and some of the dorms. The couple has attended hundreds of athletics events as well as years of annual TAC golf outings and Jubilation! celebrations.
Henry and Grace received the Trinity Community Service Award in 2007.
Their reaction to receiving the Honorary Alumni Award is surprise. And their default is to immediately give glory to God. "We just thank God for his blessings," said Grace, with Henry adding, "It's all about God, not about us. We always try to support all of the kingdom activities."

Prefinished siding and trim – whether fiber-cement, plastic, or wood – are becoming more popular. Factory-applied finishes are hard to beat, and it's great not to have to schedule another sub or deal with weather-related painting delays. For the best look, matching color-coated nails should be used, and care must be taken to protect both the heads of these nails and the adjacent material surface. We found polyurethane Protect-O-Cap hammer caps at the request of one of our testers and gave him some to test. Here are his results.
Fitting these caps to your favorite trim hammer might be a challenge. I prefer trimming with my 16-ounce curved claw hammer, but the caps don't fit tightly enough over its face. Even with the provided shim sleeve installed, a cap will skew, loosen, and pop off unless I shim it on with soft flashing tape and wrap it securely with nonmarking white electrical tape. I found tight fits with an Estwing 20-ounce rip claw hammer and an older Stiletto 14-ounce model. Heating up the plastic parts helped ease a very snug fit; otherwise, the plastic shim sleeves sometimes split when pounded over the hammer face.
Once in action, I was glad to discover that the Protect-O-Caps work. However, I was not impressed with their longevity, especially for those of us who hit pretty much dead center all the time. Although they do a good job of maintaining the paint coating on the nail heads, they become a real pain if not replaced soon enough. The polyurethane material softens and turns into hamburger quickly, at which point the nail heads sink into the caps and stick. Hitting a knot can also ruin a cap.
For pounding nails, Protect-O-Caps should be treated as a short-term consumable accessory like a utility knife blade or a drywaller's screw-gun bit. Expect anything more and you'll be disappointed. Three of us went through about 18 caps while trimming a complex 3,300-square-foot house, driving about 20 pounds of 2- and 2-1/2-inch nails. But for nonnailing uses, where a cap on your hammer would take the place of a nonmarring mallet, Protect-O-Caps would probably last a long time.
The plastic caps absorb a lot of the hammer's impact energy, so it takes six to eight blows to sink a nail that three to four hits would sink with a bare metal face. We drive the last 1/8 inch with a flat drift punch – just one tap – which doesn't take the paint off.
The Verdict
Even though they proved to be less durable than I'd hoped, I'm probably going to keep using Protect-O-Caps, because the end result is exactly what I envisioned: unmarred white nails driven flush to a white finished surface. The caps do the job, but I can't help wondering if a higher-durometer plastic would work even better by lasting longer. Also, offering spacer sleeves of various thicknesses – to allow the caps to fit a wider variety of favorite hammers – would be a nice option.

Republican state Sen. Van Wanggaard requested a recount Friday in his Wisconsin recall race, after the final canvassed results showed him losing in last week's election to former Democratic state Sen. John Lehman, in a rematch of their 2010 race.
Lehman leads by 834 votes out of nearly 72,000 cast in the Racine-based district, a margin of 1.2 percent. The apparent win gives Democrats a new 17-16 majority in the state Senate — a symbolic silver lining for the party after its failure to unseat Gov. Scott Walker the same night.
The legislature is out of regular session for the year. Half of the chamber is up for reelection this November, when Democrats will have to play defense on a new map drawn by Republican lawmakers.

The Passion of the Christ was such a huge hit ten years ago that many people wanted a sequel. Mel Gibson never showed any interest in making one, but his screenwriter Benedict Fitzgerald certainly did — or, to be more precise, Fitzgerald proposed making a prequel about the mother of Jesus, which he initially called Myriam, Mother of the Christ.
I have been keeping tabs on this film ever since it was first announced in January 2007, but the film itself has never been made. Instead, there have been persistent rumours and reports — the title has changed a couple times, and different actors were rumoured to be up for the part of Herod the Great, etc. — and now comes the wildest, craziest report of them all. Esquire magazine posted a story yesterday with the headline 'How the Mother of All Sequels Crashed and Burned', and it explains in some detail how Fitzgerald's ambitions were derailed by "drug dealers, money launderers, and kidnappers". It also gets into his lawsuit against Gibson.

i don't know enough about jordan's achievements to really say to be honest. i'm guessing someone like roger, xande, or marcelo would be good candidates
man, when you're the nail, hang in there....until the day you become the hammer
Rob is correct about Pickett - was Chris Freebourne doing the punching.
I know a little bit about Michael Jordan's achievements which i am happy to share with you now. he was a basketball player for the Chicago Bulls, where he scored lots of points for his team by throwing a ball through a so-called 'basketball ring'.
some say he was also able to pull off the basketball holy grail by jumping high into the air and throwing the ball down through the ring, what Americans call a 'slam dunk'. i have not seen this feat but many Americans claim to have witnessed it, marvelling at the 'air time' of said leap.
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Hi everyone,
i was wondering if i could get your view on a fight that i was recently in.
I lost the semi-pro fight (3 x 3 min round) at 2:59 in the 3rd round via armbar. It was very late in the round as I heard the 10 second warning, so I rushed my own armbar from side control only to be countered and he obtain side control with knee on belly. He locked an armbar on me and he did have the armbar locked very tight but, having tried to escape by rolling, I have turned my arm to relieve the pressure so I was in no danger of my arm being broken. Referee gave no warning or asked me if I wanted to quit, for which I would have said no, but the ref stopped it anyways. I asked the ref afterwards and he said that he didn't want my arm broken. I can understand the fighters safety is paramount but if my arm has turned (thumb not facing upwards) and also no face showing no signs of pain, surely the ref should ask if I want to continue or just let it carry on?
As you can imagine, i am bitter about the decision as i would have wanted to have finished the fight and let the judges decide on who won the fight.
As always, i respected his decision and i have a ton of respect for what you guys do. But, sometimes a bad call has been made and i think i might be on the wrong end of one.
Any views?

Not every ref or even fighter is a jiu jitsu competitor or knows the intricate details about application of a certain move. He probably saw you wernt escaping it as you said your turn failed...and he probably saw 1 man pulling vigorously and your arm in an awkward spot. Plus with so many shows everywhere now the truth is a lot of "refs" aren't exactly experience refs.....heres one example without no names...I fought on a show id fought on before, great friendly people well run show but the ref hmmm..... i lost to triangle choke midway 2nd round....I was kicked in the face which went into my eye and i could not see whilst in his guard working....i turned to the ref because i could not see and he saw the kick hit me.....the lad put me in a triangle and continued fighting with his corner telling him too while i was looking the other way at the ref with 1 hand over my eye....once deep in the choke the ref said...."accidental kick, continue" when i'm in a now posture down fully locked triangle where i had no escape...no resetting of the position or giving me time to recover... I found this outrageous in honest losing in this way after i was winning both rounds.... but unfortunately in amateur mma in uk you just have to roll with it.....when you hit the professional ranks then it's worth getting sore about... i feel your pain and upset but it's common place mate.

SNOHOMISH — Ben Weatherhogge, 15, wasn't afraid to plunge into the cold waters of Blackmans Lake on Jan. 6.
The Everett High School freshman wasn't doing a late New Year's Polar Plunge. He did it so he could get the small cross and a blessing from Father David Sommer of St. Thomas Orthodox Church.
"It's a celebration and a tradition," Ben said.
The receiving of the cross is part of the Feast of Theophany celebrations held by the Orthodox Christian Church around the world. The day celebrates the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. It is believed that God's voice was heard and the Holy Spirit was seen in the form of a dove.
"It was the first time in history that the Holy Trinity revealed itself," Sommer said.
This is the sixth year the Snohomish church has celebrated at the lake with hymns and a prayer.
Days before, the church held special services and read the Old Testament announcing the coming of Jesus.
About 40 parishioners attended the Sunday ceremony where Sommer blessed the waters. After Jesus, baptism became a way to enter the Christian church. After baptism, "we become adopted sons of God," Sommer said.
The congregation gathered at a private house near the lake. The home was blessed by Sommer, who would also bless every home of his 65 parishioners. They also held a feast.
Homeowners Jenese and Kit Zell believed the blessing can bring them understanding, hope and enlightenment in 2013.
"It's a blessing for all the good and bad times," Jenese Zell said.

Brevard, N.C.-The Brevard College Tornados scored three runs in the bottom of the 6th to take a 7-5 victory in the night cap of a doubleheader with Lincoln Memorial at Gil Coan Field on Saturday afternoon after the Railsplitters took the series with a 20-5 win in the opener.
Game 1: LMU 20, Brevard 5
Lincoln Memorial scored in all but two innings thanks to 20 hits and six BC fielding errors.
Six Railsplitters had more than one hit, and were headlined by Cody Baker's 4-for-5 performance. Baker was also one of four LMU hitters to drive in multiple runs.
BC starter Brennan Daniels (L, 1-4) was tagged with the loss despite allowing only three earned runs over 5.1 innings on the hill for the Tornados. BC committed five fielding errors with Daniels on the mound, leading to seven unearned runs.
Game 2: Brevard 7, LMU 5
The Tornados plated three runs in the bottom of the 6th inning to take a 7-4 lead after LMU tied the game at 4-4 with two runs in the top of the 6th.
Aaron Goforth worked a one-out walk in the 6th before Champ Stuart doubled to right field to put runners on second and third. John Slade gave BC a 5-4 lead with a single to right field before Cody Queen singled through the right side to make it 6-4.
Matt Proffitt's two-out groundball was misplayed by LMU second baseman Andre Rodriguez, which allowed Slade to score from second and put BC ahead by three.
BC starter Zach Joyce tossed 5.1 innings while allowing four runs (three earned), but received a no-decision after LMU tied the game in the 6th. Chad Fisher (W, 1-0) got the final two outs of the 6th in relief of Joyce, but not before allowing the game-tying single to Cody Baker.
LMU recorded back-to-back singles to start the 7th as Rodriguez singled to lead off and scored on Nick Pressley's double to make it 7-5. The Tornados called on Bennett Hixson (S, 2) to replace Fisher for the final three outs.
Hixson entered with Pressley on second, and quickly induced a strikeout and infield pop fly before allowing a single and walk to load the bases with two outs. Hixson then stranded the bases loaded after getting Baker to fly to center to end the game.
The Tornados continue their six-game home stand as they host Lander University for a doubleheader at Gil Coan Field on Tuesday afternoon. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m.
