Retired 2k and out.
I'm rooting for Davey. Sure his ground game will be enough for anybody there.
Good luck ta Davy great lad hope he does well
section 18
Paul DeathWish Hartley
3 and 4 pro flyweght
Both guys will do well IMO, an by the looks of it they on opposite teams an could face eachother
Wooten will win this for sure
I was out in Vegas helping Spencer Hewitt in the try outs. Davey was on form wearing a Gerry Halliwell Union Jack dress with ginger wig. While we all waited around, one interviewer came over and had to speak with Davey about 'why was he dressed like Gerry?' His quick wit confused the interviewer which was funny for the resr of us.
To give you an insight into the tryouts, its probably best to send in your CV to see how many fights you have won (regardless of who you have fought) how old you are.
Some will know Spencer some will not but his grappling round of 2 mins he totally dominated his opponent who was just surviving. We made it through to round 2 - padwork. As his Thai pad mad we worked perfectly even to the point where Diego Bandao shook our hands after we finished and said 'you smashed that, you're definitely through. However we didn't have our name called for round 3 the interview!
Believe me when I say this. There were guys in there that got tapped out 3-4 times in 2 mins, were very poor on the pads but had records of 5-0 and were early 20s.
When we spoke with Joe Silva to ask why? He said 'the weight category is stacked and in the end we had to look at win records and age'
Yea Spencer is in his 30s, but he's got 10 wins and only 5 losses.
I wish all the UK and Ireland guys all the best in the house, but the way in which the UFC selects is boll*cks. One guy who was Mr California got smashed in grappling, had his gf holding pads for him and which was crap and he got through???
Anyway, cant wait til it starts as there were some pretty hots girls there hahaha.

Haha...I've not seen the video, but it sounds about right! Was he sat down at a table?
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
There was another interview he did while sat at our table. I remember him telling us about what he said in the line up.
On that video the guy doing the flashy kicks capoeria style was doing somersaults warming up as well. When we went in the try out room, he sat behind me and Spencer. During the grappling round he was literally commentating on what everyone should be doing while they were grappling. Then it was his turn.....he was put to sleep in about 30 seconds....shouldn't laugh, but i did

The Anunnaki have created a cultural library for us humans to find, the result was the [
link to wwwWingmakers.Com
The Wingmakers folks created a revolutionary video creation and animations company called Liquid Buddha Studios to create the first Wingmakers DVD!
Then you will find Liquid Budda went on to produce this new mind blowing flick called "Thrive"
What is interesting is the same exact advanced toroidal physics/Sacred Geometry was presented in the Thrive...
The same higher knowledge was presented in the Wingmakers DVD years before the movie Thrive!
Ok So we know know there is more happening behind the scenes the the Wingmakers than one would have thought.
Any more info out there related to the Wingmakers and the behind the scenes folks who seem to be connected in not so open to pulic kinda way even?

direct contributions to the present effort have not extended beyond his initial exposition of the matter in his interviews with Sara and through the website subsequently set up to publicize the findings."

Here are those actual Neruda interviews that this insider was speaking of.
The interviews contained in this section of the WingMakers' website are transcripts taken from a series of interviews between
Dr. Neruda
(the defected ACIO scientist) and Sarah the journalist he contacted shortly after his defection. These interviews provide provocative insights into the Advance Contact Intelligence Organization (ACIO) - the secret government organization responsible for reverse-engineering acquired extraterrestrial technologies.
The Neruda Interviews
also provide remarkable insight into a wide variety of topics, including the human genome, secret societies, new physics, cosmology, extraterrestrial influence on earth, and the spiritual nature and purpose of humankind. The interviews are recorded and then transcribed by Sarah exactly as they occurred. These are the original files. It is recommended to read them in the order they were recorded. Please note when you come across the word Corteum they are the Anunnaki.
There are .PDF file versions of the Neruda Interviews in both standard format and large font format available for free in the download section.

Now you know.
Here is the big news, AR Bordon, the author of the article will speak to the the masses for the first time this October!
link to www.pythagorasconferenceglobal.com
Here is some of AR Bordon's work...
A.R. Bordon: Extraterrestrials on Earth: A Challenge We Can No Longer Ignore.
link to www.agoracosmopolitan.com
Like you, I keep my eyes and ears open and look far and near for pieces of the truth, which are indexed in my memory and subconscious and retrieved in a synchronistic, rational, spatial, and analytically intuitive manner, ultimately revealing a glimpse of the larger picture.
I was profoundly impacted by two documents regarding a certain working group that meets with off world entities. Coincidentally, I believe Charles is in contact with one group of off world entities that this working group studies. One document called "The Link – Extraterrestrials in Near Earth Space and Contact on the Ground," authored by A.R. Borden and company can be found here:
link to battleofearth.wordpress.com
It is a wealth of information, but not an easy read. The style of writing and arrangement of information is highly analytical and rigorous. But it is written in a way that enables individuals from all backgrounds to glean its contents and extract useful meaning from it.
THE LINK. This is a book that now is going to become three separate entities, as there is a great deal of information to be included, and a single one would be downright unwieldy. The term "link" is nothing but a moniker, a name for something that truly does not have one. It is also a referent term to line-of-sight, gnosive, and email experience with people who are not from Earth.
The trouble with acceptance of this work is that it does not fit the Strieber mold: zeta-type sauroids with large black eyes and 3+ feet in stature. Our experience, especially in the upper midwest and northwest of the United States, has been that if one of "them" sat across from you at a Denny's or Marie Callender's, you would not recognize him/her as being not human from Earth. Many look exactly like us, some a little bluish of skin and perceivably evident Meissner field emanation (auric field), other greenish, and others silverish-white. Some are extremely tall (6'10+), some are like us (6′ or less) and some pigmy-like (some Asian-looking, some large round head Afro-black-like) some with skin near pink to red. Then there are people with very advanced biomolecular capabilities – abilities that include biomimic of the ambient environment and the ability to shift in form without changing size, abilities to migrate to electrostatic/energetic avatars that look very much like biological forms/bodies, abilities to migrate through what we can at this juncture only grasp as "moving through a microwormhole that naturally occur on Earth-surface spacetime, and finally, people who can become manifest right before your eyes and desynchronize and disappear in the middle of a conversation (quite disconcerting!). Yes, there are zeta-types with abilities quite advanced from our current viewpoint. However, it is possible to interact and interface with any of them, provided one has some working knowhow of topological thinking and one can follow a conversation at all possible levels of meaning and one does not yield to fear (i.e., 64 beats per second, high alpha/low beta, and other skills).
Also look at the discussion people interested in life physics are having at our forum, [
link to lifephysicsgroup.org
] or at the blog, [
link to lifephysicsgroup.org
] A great deal of what we are now placing in the public domain stems from assists we've received from people who are not from here, including the basic technology to set up extension neurosensing (ENS) to leave the body with a sustainable avatar and a pov that is useful in moving spacelike (moving in time) as well as moving timelike (going to places where spacetime is similar to ours, and to others that are not). - A.R. Bordon
The second document called "Between the Devil and the Returning Rock," authored by A.R. Borden and company can be found here:
link to battleofearth.wordpress.com
Both documents are very well written. They trigger many questions. They are also both works in progress. My understanding is that the authors are currently working on their completion.
I have read these documents and combed the text. Where possible, I have cross referenced much of the information. A.R. Borden and company are very serious individuals with incredibly good primary and secondary contacts within intelligence agencies and with seemingly off world entities. Their manner of writing, analysis, and methodological research process is uncannily similar to what you would find in an academic journal. Thus, you can infer that their group is highly sophisticated and intelligent. Moreover, they are not caught in a Hegelian dialectic. It appears they have traversed the boundary between fear and doom and love and light to reach a view point that incites rational and intuitive dialogue on some very important issues, many of which are discussed on this forum.
And Interestingly Enough this exact Same AR Bordon just made his first public appearance giving a historical interview!
DR. A.R.BORDON to make first public radio show interview!
"A.R. Bordon & Michael Lee Hill - The Anunnaki papers Setting the Record Straight"
with moderator: Sandra D. Sabatiini
Click below and set a reminder:
link to www.blogtalkradio.com
"My UFO footage landed me on a prime time TV show on the History Channel called "UFO Hunters". On the episode "Alien Contact", They decided to test my blood and it is revealed by a Harvard Professor/Doctor that I do not have normal human blood, A very rare blood anomaly/bloodline that the world's best military and civilian doctors are at a loss to explain!
The host of the show Legendary UFO Researcher Bill Birnes goes on to say "I've got a funny feeling that you are being recruited and there is a branch of the government that you're being recruited for - that somehow, some way, you are a hybrid between "ET" and humans. And they are giving you a course of study preparing you to meet your ET higher self."
Soon After the airing of this show I was indeed contacted by this branch of the Military Industrial Complex and offered a course of study.
I would like to share with you some info, Bill Birnes was 100% correct, I have come in contact with a group of (Secret) insiders, led by an individual named A.R. Bordon.
The following is from a recent UFO Digest Article written by UFOlogist Ed Komarek...
"I have not paid much attention to the Annunaki and their operations on earth, until I got to know Ar Bordon and set about trying to see if I could find cases that would back up his story. I recently wrote up a small Facebook note as follows:
I got Ar Bordon's permission to post this in order to clear up some misperceptions about him and give folks an idea of what he is about as best I can tell. He said it was accurate and concise.
Ar Bordon (pen name) is the most public individual node in a network of people who have had direct contact with various individual extraterrestrials and groups, both of a human nature and non-human nature. This exopolitical network, in which Ar is a part, has direct face to face and telepathic contact and communication with ETs but is independent of National military and intelligence groups. Its parallel is the emerging exopolitical community that is much larger, but mostly without the extensive direct access to extraterrestrials as does Ar's network.
This network does liaison with the military and intelligence agencies involving issues of National Security when considered necessary.
The members of this exopolitical network have backgrounds with corporations, military and intelligence agencies, but the group works independently and negotiates as a loosely knit operation to identify and to understand the evolution, motives and agendas of a rather large number of extraterrestrial races and civilizations and their interactions with earth humankind.
These direct interactions include several types of humans that closely resemble us enough to interact with us on the street without us knowing who they are. Other types of humans we would recognize as different from us if met on the street. Types that are not human include several kinds of Greys, several types of beings with Reptilian ancestries and insect ancestries and others including machine intelligences, robots, etc.
The big picture is of a well-populated universe of space faring beings of very diverse nature, some who have taken an interest in Earth affairs for a number of reasons as it is profitable for them to interface with us out of self-interest and cooperative interest. End"'
A.R. Bordon has become a trusted friend and Mentor so I am very excited about this interview, and the fact this will be A.R. Bordons first public interview is exciting!
I would like to share one of the first Letters from AR to myself back from the summer of 2008 when we first began communication which explains perfectly in AR's own words who he is, who his group is, and my part in all of this still unfolding story..
link to www.scribd.com
Here is the actual interview.
Topic: "Setting the Record Straight THE ANNUNAKI PAPERS"
GUEST: DR A.R. BORDON - is an itinerant scientist/ biophysicist working for an undisclosed institute of basic and applied research in Los Angeles(area), Southern California. He is a former deputy director of a corporate research centre - project officer of the A.C.T.I.O.N. Project which proves the heuristic possibilities in what is known as Living Physics or New Advanced Physics which intersects with the esoteric and idiomaterial. He is also the former executive director of the American Association of Remote Viewers. Dr. Bordon was also instrumental in the formation of a scientific cooperative "The Life Physics Group – California", LPG-C (now disbanded).
He is currently the Interim Director of an undisclosed scientific group which does private research in extended human functions, development of skunkworks technology, interface with Extraterrestrials, and other anomalies.
GUEST: MICHAEL LEE HILL - UFO Researcher/Annunaki Contactee/Musician - Recording Artist - Featured on the History Channels (History Channel / H2), "UFO Hunters", Fox News, CBS News.
TOPICS: This introduction interview with Dr. Bordon is meant to educate and disseminate to the public in a responsible way - many subjects in regards to the Annunaki and "other facts" that have been up to now - never discussed in a open public broadcast forum. Simply put this is an interview you will NOT want to miss, that you will never hear anywhere else.

Veteran Benefits
The Post-9/11 GI Bill provides robust educational benefits to individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate service after September 10, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. You must have received an honorable discharge to be eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
Effective August 2011, the Post 9/11 GI Bill covers a large part of the cost for the Texas MBA at Houston Program – but not all. We will be offering additional assistance in the form of a waiver to the Post-9/11 GI Bill to offset some of the costs above the amount provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Currently a veteran who qualifies for 100% eligibility may receive a waiver to cover the remaining cost of their respective program. Those who qualify at less than 100% eligibility may be given a waiver to cover a portion of their remaining bill. The programs reserve the right to revise the waiver program at the beginning of each academic year.
Note: Since the Texas MBA at Houston Program does not receive state funding, Hazlewood Act benefits do not apply. However, students who would have otherwise qualified for the Hazlewood Act may qualify for the Texas Military Waiver. Students who receive the Texas Military Waiver AND the Post-9/11 GI Bill will not be eligible for the waiver to the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

On Sports
The Sportsman's Code of ChivalryBy Miranda Popkey
Two Sundays ago, I watched the AFC Conference game with some friends. Picture a Venn Diagram; label one circle "Fans of the New England Patriots" and the other "People Who Have Studied Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." The person who exists at the intersection of those two circles was sitting on a couch across from me, anxiously eating chips and guacamole. As the Patriots slipped further and further behind the Broncos, talk turned to Arthurian legend, and to knightliness at large.
Peyton Manning, our group quickly agreed, was the Lancelot of quarterbacks. Like Lancelot, he's unquestionably the most talented of his cadre—a fact confirmed when he was, to no one's surprise, named this year's league MVP. He's also, like Lancelot, doltish and unbeautiful: in T. H. White's The Once and Future King, Lancelot is, to quote King Arthur, "the ugliest man I have ever seen"; Peyton can't claim that honor, but he does have a grotesquely large forehead, scarred by the Riddell helmet he is forced to squeeze over it. And both Lancelot and Peyton are doomed to be surpassed by a dim younger relative—in the former's case, it's the unbearably pure Galahad, Lancelot's son, the only knight allowed to glimpse the Holy Grail; in Peyton's case, it's his younger brother, Eli, whose childishly transparent expressions of disappointment have been turned into exemplars of gif art, and who already has two Super Bowl rings to Peyton's one. Which made Tom Brady his Tristan: not quite as skilled, but achingly handsome.
Metaphors aside, there is a sort of gallantry we expect from our athletes. NFL players do not, of course, swear their troth to a code of chivalry; nevertheless there are rules, largely unspoken, to which professional athletes are expected to adhere. Off the field, if not on, while speaking to the press, if not while concussing one another, we want our athletes, like our knights, "to refrain from the wanton giving of offense"; "to eschew unfairness, meanness, and deceit"; and "to live by honor and for glory."

Ronnie Milsap reflects on Hall Of Fame induction
Listen to Ronnie Milsap on iHeartRadio
Ronnie Milsap says he's not sure what tipped the decision in his favor to induct him into the Country Music Hall of Fame. But the singer believes his success as a crossover artist, which began with 1977's "It Was Almost Like A Song," likely played a role.
Milsap is joining the Country Music Hall of Fame as a "Modern Era Artist." His fellow inductees include bluegrass great Mac Wiseman, who's being added in the "Veteran Era Artist" category, while Hank Cochran earned a posthumous induction in the "Songwriter" category.
Hunter Hayes took part in Tuesday's inductees announcement, introducing Milsap at the event. And Ronnie says he's very impressed with the young star, and calls Hunter "a very special person."
The inductees announcement took place in Nashville on Tuesday. The Country Music Hall of Fame will formally welcome this year's additions with the annual Medallion ceremony later this year.

Child Therapist
David Gallick, MSW, LSW, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
480 Pierce Street, Suite 300, Kingston, Pennsylvania
As a Licensed Family Therapist, I realize that children face a variety of issues in their young lives which affect them. Divorce, loss, stress at home, fear, etc. often cause children to act our or misbehave. When children are in pain, they do the only thing they know how to do; lash out, act out, or get sad and depressed. Children don't have the capacity to understand their feelings and don't have the language to describe how they are feeling. In therapy with children, through art and play therapy, I help them and their parent/s to express feelings in a creative and safe way. Many times, working alone with the parents, I help them develop strategies for helping their child.
Child Therapist
John Kuna, Psy.D.
Licensed Psychologist
189 Market Street, Kingston, Pennsylvania
Similar to adult therapy, our therapy for young children is individually based. Our staff is specifically trained and certified for several forms of child therapy including play and art therapy techniques. Our relaxed and comfortable approach focuses on the child's strengths. This approach may often have the added benefit of increased self esteem in children, due to their increased self-awareness.
Child Therapist
David Palmiter, Ph.D., ABPP
Clinical Psychcologist
Scranton, Pennsylvania
Understanding and helping kids, parents and families is an area of specialization for me. Actually, I've written two books and multiple articles on this topic, taken a leadership role in developing mental health evaluation standards for kids in the state, given hundreds of workshops on doing this sort of work and do ongoing public education on kid and parenting topics (e.g., a blog at hecticparents.com and a weekly live parenting spot on WBRE-TV's PALive). Should you bring your child to me I promise to treat him or her as I would want one of my own kids treated and to be tireless in my efforts to understand, heal and advance the wellness of your child.
Child Therapist
Thomas and Carol Corso, Carol and Thomas Corso
Professional Counselors
214 W. Broad Street, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Our approach to helping and counseling young children is focused on establishing positive rapport and trust. We accomplish this through validation of a child's feelings and emotions. We also believe in creating a very warm and caring environment, and work through the use of art and music to make a child feel comfortable. Counseling children requires time and patience, as each child is unique. Most importantly, we work closely with parents, as change is families occurs in a system, requiring all family members to work together on change.

WSJ again falsely touted Schlesinger report as proof Abu Ghraib abuses were not related to interrogations
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Repeating a false assertion made eight days earlier, a May 4 Wall Street Journal editorial claimed that the Schlesinger report on prison abuse at Abu Ghraib concluded that the abuses were not related to interrogations. The Journal then cited this false conclusion as evidence that there was no "systematic" abuse of prisoners by the American military. In fact, the Schlesinger report explicitly states that some abuses did occur during interrogations. While the Schlesinger report did not use the term "systematic," it did criticize both civilian policymakers and military commanders for approving abusive interrogation practices. Beyond the Schlesinger report, a report by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and recently released FBI documents provide additional evidence of systematic abuses of detainees.
The Journal claimed that "the independent review panel headed by former Carter cabinet secretary Jim Schlesinger concluded that the abuses at Abu Ghraib weren't related to interrogations, or even to subjects of interrogation." This statement reprised the Journal's claim in an April 27 editorial that the Schlesinger report concluded that the abuses at Abu Ghraib "weren't related to interrogations at all." In fact, while the report stated that the photographed abuses at Abu Ghraib were "not part of authorized interrogations," it also found that other, non-photographed abuses "did occur at interrogation sessions." [p. 5]
On May 4, the Journal used this false claim to conclude: "perhaps it's time to stop slandering the American military by falsely accusing it of 'systematic' abuse." But substantial evidence suggests that abuses were indeed systematic. Moreover, it was apparently decisions by senior Bush administration civilians, not "the American military," that left the impression among military commanders that abusive interrogation practices were permissible, as Media Matters for America noted in response to the Journal's earlier false claim.
The ICRC report determined that "The ill treatment by the CF [Coalition Forces] personnel during interrogation was not systematic, except with regard to persons arrested in connection with suspected security offences or deemed to have an 'intelligence' value." In such cases, the report found that a variety of "methods of ill-treatment" were employed during interrogations, such as "hooding," handcuffing, and beatings. The ICRC concluded: "These methods of physical and psychological coercion were used by the military intelligence in a systematic way to gain confessions and extract information or other forms of co-operation from persons who had been arrested in connection with suspected security offences or deemed to have an 'intelligence value'."
The ICRC report went on to describe other methods of coercion employed by interrogators in the "isolation section" of Abu Ghraib, such as "the practice of keeping persons deprived of their liberty completely naked in totally empty concrete cells and in total darkness, allegedly for several consecutive days." According to the report, "The military intelligence officer in charge of the interrogation explained that this practice was 'part of the process.'"
Moreover, an August 2004 email from an FBI agent who had recently visited Guantánamo Bay, Cuba -- which the American Civil Liberties Union obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request -- described abusive treatment he witnessed and suggested that such treatment was part of standard interrogation procedure.
On a couple of occasions, I entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food or water. Most times they had urinated or defecated on themselves, and had been left there for 18-24 hours or more. On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far, and the temperature in the room was so cold in the room, that the detainee was shaking with cold.When I asked the M.P.'s what was going on, I was told that interrogators from the day prior had ordered this treatment, and the detainee was not to be moved. On another occasion ... the detainee was almost unconscious on the floor, with a pile of hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling his own hair out throughout the night."
(Newsweek quoted the email in its January 6 issue.)

We extend a warm welcome to everyone in the inaugural Master of Studies in Law for Health and Science Professionals Class of 2013!
Margaret Allen graduated from Stanford's Primary Care Associate Program as a Physician Assistant in 1992. She was a member of the Stanford PA Program faculty for four years and continues to teach in their program. During a sabbatical in England in 2001-3, she studied social policy and served as clinical research fellow in the National Health Service. In 2009, she received the American Academy of Physician Assistants' national award for "Service to the Underserved", and in 2011-12, she was Chair of the California Academy of Physician Assistants' Diversity Committee. She writes journal articles, is a peer reviewer, and has been featured in the British Medical Journal for her work with the homeless. She continues to provide medical care to the working poor, uninsured,undocumented, and homeless in a community clinic in East Palo Alto, and has a strong commitment to caring for the acute and chronic health needs of multi-cultural populations.
David Elkin is excited to join the incoming class of MSL students at UC Hastings! He is a psychiatrist working at San Francisco General Hospital on the Consultation-Liaison Service and Psychiatric Emergency Services at San Francisco General Hospital while also serving as a member of the faculty at UCSF. He co-coordinates medical student education for the department, including teaching core didactics and a weekly humanities seminar focused on professionalism and ethics. He also directs the physician wellness committee and is a very active member of the hospital ethics committee. Originally from the East Coast, David lives in Oakland with his family, including his wife, two teenagers, and a small menagerie of border collies as well as a cat. In his off time, David enjoys discussing books and movies, and hiking.
Jonathan is an Oakland CA native. He received his bachelors of Science degree in microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics with a minor in political science at University of California, Los Angeles in 2006. Soon after he accepted a position as a clinical research coordinator at San Francisco General Hospital for the Department of Emergency Medicine at University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine. He has worked with many UCSF faculty members on issues within emergency and critical care medicine as it relates to the medically underserved populations of city and county of San Francisco. His contributions have earned him authorship in several medical journals such as Critical Care Medicine and Journal of Trauma.
While he hopes to learn more about the legal side of research he hopes that ultimately he develops a better understanding of the law so he is able to work within it as a means for the research to have its intended impact. He was able to see this when he was sixteen years old. He conducted a project where he examined the levels of lead in the parks of Oakland, California. With the assistance of an environmental firm located in Hayward CA he found that two of the sites tested contained extremely high levels of lead. After submitting these findings to local city officials the city decided to investigate all parks for lead contamination and remove any objects that contained high toxic levels. The reason why it was successful is because before starting the project he had an understanding of both state and federal law concerning environmental health and the necessary steps when an individual violates this law.
He hopes that by having the opportunity at UC Hastings School of Law will allow him to have similar projects such as the one that he completed when he was sixteen years old to have the same if not greater effect both in research and in medicine.

Megan Miller is a Bay Area native and Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of New Mexico who recognizes an urgent need for clinicians to learn more about mental health care law. Perhaps her most pressing motivation for legal training is to understand the complex and mysterious world of health care insurance. Daily, insurance companies make decisions regarding what they will and will not cover. We have all experienced or heard tales of insurance companies denying a seemingly necessary service. And while many of us would have the wherewithal to pursue a just end, the pursuit can exhaust even the best of us. We are the lucky ones. Having worked primarily with dual-diagnosis/co-occurring clients, Megan knows that many clients are simply incapable of effectively arguing for their care when they most need it.
It is imperative that clinicians understand how to advocate for their clients. Yet in Megan's experience, clinicians may be responsible for requesting coverage from insurance companies and have little or no training in that area. While we learn on the job, clients suffer. While she would love to bring about quality affordable healthcare for all, her shorter term goals are simply to help empower clinicians with the knowledge they need to advocate effectively for their clients. Although work experience has gotten her part of the way, it can only go so far. Questions remain around how health insurance actually works, when clients can be legitimately denied, how the evidenced based practice movement is impacting coverage decisions, and how we can make mental health care a higher priority in this country. The MSL program at Hastings is part of her journey to becoming a health care advocate.
Dr. Kelly K. Park, M.D. graduated from the accelerated Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine (B.S. /M.D.) program at the Northeast Ohio Medical University, where she also earned her Certificate in Bioethics. She completed her internship in Internal Medicine at St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan and subsequently became Clinical Research and Phototherapy Fellow at the Department of Dermatology of the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Park has authored numerous peer-reviewed articles that have been published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, Archives of Dermatology, British Journal of Dermatology, and the British Medical Journal, among others. She is the lead editor and contributor for the book, Vitiligo: Management and Therapy (http://www.intechopen.com/books/vitiligo-management-and-therapy). She also serves as a Consultant for Encore Health Resources.
Shirley Stiver is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at UCSF. She is Board Certified in neurosurgery in both Canada and the United States. Dr. Stiver did her undergraduate and PhD studies, medical school, and neurosurgery residency training at the University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada. She subsequently moved to Harvard Medical School, Boston and completed a fellowship in cerebrovascular neurosurgery at Massachusetts General Hospital and research studies in blood vessel development at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. In 2005, Dr. Stiver joined the Department of Neurological Surgery at UCSF and became a member of the clinical staff of San Francisco General Hospital. Her clinical subspecialty interests include the care of patients with traumatic brain and spinal cord injury and those with cerebral blood vessel abnormalities. Dr. Stiver's laboratory research includes the study of blood vessels in brain injury processes, and her clinical research is focused on surgical complications and the costs of care in traumatic brain injury.
Lauren Strelitz is a southern California native who graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a BA in Psychology with Honors. After moving to the east coast and working in the field of child psychology for several years an interest in providing comprehensive care to patients and in exploring the physiological basis of mental illness compelled her to pursue a degree in medicine. She is currently taking time off of being a 4th year medical student at the University of California, San Francisco in order to take advantage of the opportunity to learn about law and advocacy in this unique MSL program.
Lauren's entry into medical school coincided with the political debate to reform health policy. As reproductive health emerged as a pawn in this debate she became involved in advocacy for reproductive justice and co-organized an interdisciplinary class on the topic. Instead of a traditional third year in medical school she had the opportunity to do the Model SFGH program allowing her to spend the majority of the last year learning about the practice of clinical medicine in service to vulnerable and underserved patients. She feels that the MSL will inform her future clinical practice and enable not only to be an advocate for individual patients and their families but for the reproductive health rights of teenagers throughout the United States.
In her free time she enjoys catching up with friends, knitting (usually bizarre creatures but occasionally something useful like mittens), and exploring nature and the city.

Our namesakes, the Wright brothers, used ingenuity and innovation to make a lasting impact on the world. Today, we rise on their wings, prepared to shine, as we lift our university to new heights. Ahead, we see a bright future, one where Wright State is a new model for higher education: a public institution that is imaginative, unafraid to take risks, and nimble in adapting to the needs of a fast-changing world.
To reach that future, we are embarking on Rise. Shine. The Campaign for Wright State University. Partnering with you, our alumni and friends, we will invest in individuals, environments, and innovations to benefit our students and our region.
INDIVIDUALS—The dedicated people of Wright State: students and faculty
At its core, Wright State University is about people. Through the campaign, we will increase scholarships to keep college within reach of promising students. We will foster undergraduate research, giving students hands-on experiences that set them apart in a competitive job market. We will also support faculty by establishing endowed professorships to attract top scholars to Wright State.
ENVIRONMENTS—The places where learning and teaching take place
Twenty-first century learning must take place in 21st-century facilities. Campaign support, together with state capital budget and bond funding, will allow us to strategically invest in new construction as well as renovations to existing buildings. These projects, touching every aspect of the student experience, will create optimal teaching and learning spaces.
INNOVATIONS—The programs, centers, and outreach that touch our community
Over the past decade, Wright State has grown to become a well-respected public research university. Now we aspire to be a national model for change in higher education. Indeed, some of our innovations are already being emulated across the country. With campaign support, we will advance these efforts that change lives and open doors to new discoveries.
Early in the 20th century, Orville and Wilbur Wright were the builders of something that seemed unremarkable, just a tool for the common man and woman. Then, through flashes of brilliance and years of hard work, they invented a way to make what was once a bicycle soar. They gave coming generations wings upon which to rise—and with which to shine.
Perhaps that is Wright State University's greatest connection to our namesakes, and our greatest legacy: we exist to take those who may at first seem unremarkable and help them soar. I will be frank: Wright State is not, and will never be, Harvard or Stanford or Yale. Those are extraordinary institutions, but they serve students who already come from extraordinary circumstances with extraordinary resources. They begin at the summit. I believe that Wright State is an extraordinary institution that serves as both an opportunity and a guide to reach that summit for the students who will come to believe they can make the ascent.
At Wright State, we still have limitless passion for the unique transformative power of higher education—and no illusions that any of the old models or the old assumptions are working in the 21st century. The transformation—when it happens—now happens in a new landscape and a new economic reality. A university education must be a real-world-relevant and an always-innovative partnership between students who want to rise and faculty who want them to shine. It should never be merely a given or a fallback or a way to pass the time waiting for what comes next. It must matter. The university must lift its students without allowing them to unwittingly dig a financial hole. The education—and the inspiration—we provide must lead clearly and effectively to a fulfilling and rewarding life.
At Wright State, we are leading the way as a new breed of university: continually evolving to deliver an education that is eminently relevant and financially accessible and that meets the changing needs of students, the real-world economy, and our collective future. As a state university, we are compelled to serve, helping our students achieve, bettering our community, and solving real problems. And we are focused on real results. Taking our lead from the pioneers of flight, we will be known for our innovation, our diversity, our accessibility, and our entrepreneurial spirit.
We can do none of that without you. The vital contribution of philanthropy to our mission is an equally powerful outcome of the new economic landscape—to help students reach their goals without the great weight of student debt, and to provide academics and the facilities to power those goals, requires your vision and your generosity. It is simply no longer possible to go it alone.
Through this campaign, we will level the playing field for our students, unveiling a world of possibilities and reachable dreams. Our time is now. With you as our partner, we will lead the way in American higher education. We will make the investments necessary to help all students achieve, serve our community, and advance applied research that answers important questions and creates jobs.
Join with us to rise and to shine. The best is yet to come.
RISE. SHINE. These two small-yet-powerful words describe today's spirit at Wright State. Rise. Shine. The Campaign for Wright State University seeks to capitalize on that spirit and transform the university to benefit students and the economic future of Ohio and far beyond.
Inspired by the creative spirit of the Wright brothers, Wright State University aims to become a nationally recognized learning-centered and innovative university, known and admired for its inclusive culture that values the contributions of each student, faculty and staff member, and alumnus.
As the university approaches its 50th anniversary in 2017, it is already moving boldly into a new era of tremendous change, unprecedented challenge, and unlimited opportunity. This is an era in which Wright State University is uniquely positioned to succeed. Wright State's track record speaks for itself: this accessible, affordable university has risen to world-class levels in academics, faculty, facilities, and research.
In co-chairing this campaign, we are committed to helping Wright State move ever forward, and always up. Join us in supporting this effort—together we will rise, together we will shine!
Your support of Wright State University provides more than 18,000 students with the resources necessary for them to receive the highest quality education that prepares them to shine like the 100,000+ alumni who graduated before them, and to be successful in their chosen professions while leaving a lasting impact in our world.

In response to a question about Turkey's being a role-model for the Arab countries as a Muslim country posed by Germany's ""Rheinische Post" newspaper, Prime Minister Erdogan said: "We especially desire the establishment of democracy and stability in the Arab world." Turkey has always stated this: The just expectations of the public must be taken into consideration and this process has to proceed without resorting to violence." Permanent stability can be assured by taking peace and the welfare of the public under guarantee. This can only be possible by respecting the fundamental rights and freedom of people." He also added: "I believe that rather than a role-model, Turkey can be an inspiration for the Arab countries."

If you take just a quick glance at this 2011 Toyota Tundra you might think that it's had a pretty hard life, but a closer look reveals that the rusty appearance is actually a custom paint job from Sherwin-Williams. Built by NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer as a tribute to America's Heartland, the truck features many classic design cues including a vertical bar grille, a wood bed floor and vintage looking 20-inch wheels. Much of the paint job is hand-painted including the white pinstripe to the letteri

James Cutler, FAIA, recalls a well-known client who wanted to build a Spanish-style house in the woods overlooking Puget Sound. As they walked the property, Cutler asked the client why he felt Spanish architecture would be appropriate. The man replied that he simply liked the look, and that the way to do it right would be to clear the vegetation, because he didn't like trees. "His needs and tastes were totally inconsistent with the land," says Cutler, Cutler Anderson Architects, Bainbridge Island, Wash. "I advised him to move to Arizona."
The tunnel vision of such clients is at odds with the highest artistic goals of an increasing number of architects. Certainly there is a moral mandate to build in an environmentally sensitive vein. But using the land to its greatest advantage, when there are easier ways of doing architecture, also conveys an intellectual rigor. Throughout history, the best buildings have demonstrated not dominance, but a harmony with their surroundings. Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater comes to mind, as does Pritzker-winning Australian architect Glenn Murcutt's work, which has been described as complex, yet as practical as a bushman's hut. For many architects, a close reading of the land is essential to creating something authentic, a house that seems to fit perfectly in its place.
Cutler's client may be an anomaly, at least among architects known for eclectic, landscape-specific design. Because to begin to understand the character of a place, many architects logically start with the owners, who usually have a strong feel for their land. If the man had taken Cutler's advice, he may well have run into Phoenix-based architect Will Bruder. "One of the first questions an architect should ask is what's important to the client about a site," says Bruder, AIA.
Take the Byrne resi-dence in north Scottsdale, Ariz. While the desert can seem featureless to some, owners Bill and Carol Byrne had already identified the best views for their future home. The concept of their house as part of a metaphorical canyon also caught their fancy. "The property was at the top of a gentle wash, and you could see a canyon in the distance," Bruder explains. "The idea was that the topological contour of the land, sun, views, and sharp summits of the distant horizon were something you could build architecture around, a positive energy." Rather than flattening the site, as some other architects had proposed, Bruder created canyonlike walls out of sandblasted concrete masonry that angle in and out with the shifting terrain, and a roof that follows the grade of the hill.
Cutler and Peter Bohlin, FAIA, of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., are two other architects who gauge the owners' loyalty to their land early on. "Initial understandings are very important," Bohlin says. "We try to document the site with the clients. They have their own strong views that may not be well founded, but often are." Adds Cutler: "The owners pick some place they think is perfect. Sixty percent of the time, they're right about where to place the building in the landscape and, more importantly, how to connect to the land in an emotional way."
character studies
Architects describe the process of gleaning design ideas from a particular setting as a combination of intuition and the gathering of layer upon layer of cold hard data. Rather than hiring a surveyor to develop the topographical map, Cutler and a member of his staff scramble over the land with a transit level to spot trees and shoot grade--what he calls apprenticing the landscape. On a two-acre project halfway up the rim of the Columbia Gorge near Portland, Ore., for example, Cutler recently spent three hours documenting the character of each contour line, writing down tree types, and taking 58 photographs that record the view from each measured elevation. "When you physically engage in tripping over trees, climbing over things with transits and rods, you find the exact angle of a view, an interesting tree, a particular angle that makes the whole piece of land look more dramatic," he says. "The land is telling you stuff, but not in a mystical way. You learn things by physically engaging."
Doing site-sensitive architecture is like choreographing a dance, making the landscape a part of the visual experience of moving through a house. And while some parcels of land are rather simple to understand, others are complex and more subtle. "Often what you find is that looking at the site, you have a strong impression, but then you will begin to understand there are interesting questions," says Bohlin. "Often the best views are away from the sun, and depending where you are in the U.S. or overseas, the sun can be a great ally. If you're simplistic about that, you may not do the right thing."
The renovation of his own house presented that sort of conflict. Wilkes-Barre's chilly winters dictated a south-facing orientation for warmth and energy efficiency, but Bohlin's master bedroom looks north. "In the morning, light comes across the field one way; in the evening, another," he says. "Facing south, you're often looking at a silhouetted landscape; facing north, you're looking at a lit landscape. You try to have your cake and eat it, too--often in the same space."
Of course, it's rarely just the clients' property and program that suggests what's to be done with a house. The neighbors, and sometimes the local wildlife, have a say as well. On the coast of northern California, at a spot where whales swim close to shore, Albuquerque, N.M., architect Bart Prince satisfied the coastal commission's concerns by specifying a dark, absorbent glass for the house, tilting it back slightly so that light wouldn't shine into the whales' eyes as they swam by. On occasion he has visited the human neighbors, too, eyeing the site to see what they see. One close-in neighbor, for example, liked to look at a rocky outcrop in the ocean from her bedroom window. "When I found out, I designed the house so she retained that view," Prince says. "I don't know that I mentioned it to the client."
Such foresight protects his clients' peace of mind. But Prince is also thorough about protecting their investment, by finding out whether there's any possibility an adjacent building will go up a story or be torn down. "Siting a house is an elaborate process that becomes automatic after a while," he says. "I like to start fresh, as though I've never done it before, but use the same process to find out anything I can about the land, above and below it."
nature vs. nurture
Though their work may have similar outcomes, not all environmentally minded architects share the same philosophical approach. Let the word "site" slip out in conversation, and Cutler's response borders on reproach. To him, the word suggests something blank that people believe they can manipulate at will. Land is a better term, he insists, because it suggests respect for a sacred, living thing.
"The land is the way God gave it to us; it's taken billions of years to evolve to its level of perfection," he says. "Architecture never makes the land better, ever. When you're in the process of killing part of the land to put the building in, you can honor the rest of the land by making the experience dramatic and powerful for the people entering."
Having grown up in Canada, a landmass the size of Russia--and much of it equally inhospitable-- architect Brian MacKay-Lyons, FRAIC, FAIA, takes a slightly different view. There, nature is considered big and scary, so the emphasis is on houses that make protective gestures. Thus, Lyons believes making a building is an act of cultivating the landscape rather than consuming it. Just as a farmer talks of improving the land, MacKay-Lyons speaks of improving the landscape through the creation of buildings as locally appropriate cultural artifacts.
"I treat all of the projects as one continuous line of research into landscaping, and particularly the cultural landscape as opposed to Mother Nature," says MacKay-Lyons, whose firm, Brian MacKay-Lyons Architect, is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. "Most discussion about the environment in architecture revolves around the natural landscape, which is a slippery thing because most of what we regard as natural isn't, anyway. We may as well acknowledge that the landscape includes us as humans. In architecture we're in the culture business; it's an art form."
As such, MacKay-Lyons is an avid collector of ideas that spring from the landscape, natural or man-made. "It's what I think about all the time, even in the shower and in bed," he says. "When I get a chance to start a project, it's like I've been working on it for 25 years already. You're recognizing patterns you've trained yourself to see. And that method is transferable to any place."
That method, with a good dose of imagination thrown in, involves looking at the layers from the bottom up. MacKay-Lyons develops what he calls cognitive maps recording the natural history of geology, soils, and vegetation. Next he looks for agrarian clues, such as hedgerows and stone walls, that tell how the land has been cultivated. Then he takes stock of the movement of the sun and wind. Finally he turns to the architectural context--other buildings that affect the site or offer models of what the new project could be. And whether the house will stand in a meadow or in the middle of a city block, it's usually the cultural clues that his buildings obey.
"You'd never see me put a building on a diagonal in the middle of a field," MacKay-Lyons says. "I'd look for a stone wall on the edge of the field and build something parallel to it, so the landscape is doing a lot of the work for you. If the landscape is giving you cultural patterns, they're amplifying your project, so you don't have to make such a loud project. Its power comes from harnessing energy and forms already there."
telling stories
All these ideas make new and varied demands on buildings, inviting architects not only to interpret the life of the house's inhabitants, but also its surroundings. Before designing a Modernist, flat-roofed house in the mountains of north Georgia, Merrill Elam, of Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects, Atlanta, spent a year studying the 22-acre property in different seasons. A jumble of vegetation in summer, the site became more transparent in fall and winter. "We began to understand how the land had been used before, terraced and farmed, accessed by a farm road, and where the flattest part of the site was, deep into the heart of the property," says Elam. "What we came to love and understand was that you can appreciate the mountains and the power of those forms not by trying to emulate them, but by striking some horizontal line, which you can then read these rounded, rolling mountain forms against."
Almost all of MacKay-Lyons' built projects are similar essays that attempt to make the structure of the land clearer to people, often in very expressive ways. A house on the Nova Scotia coast, for example, has been pulled apart on two hilltops to make bookends set 500 feet apart. The structures--main house and a guest house--are perfectly aligned in plan and section and bracket a wetland that's been cultivated as a wildlife corridor. The result, MacKay-Lyons says, is like looking in a mirror and seeing deer running through the house.
Materials provide other ways to express elements of nature, or to withstand them, as the case may be. Whereas the structure of a house is part of the formal landscape, MacKay-Lyons sees its skin as loose clothing that can be stretched or shifted around to respond to the sun and wind. He tries to spec sustainable, indigenous materials that are durable and that local tradesmen know how to use--an approach that gives clients a lot of house for their money.
Designing in the semi-arid climate of Colorado Springs, Colo., Elizabeth Wright Ingraham, FAIA, also looks for tough, low-maintenance, and energy-saving materials that are made locally. "Concrete out here is marvelous, and there are so many new types of glass that make it very attractive," she says. "It might be the material of the future. It just takes sand to make it, and we have plenty of that."
Sometimes, matching materials to site is important to a project's success. Colored concrete walls helped convey the idea underlying the Byrne residence in Scottsdale--that the house was part of a mythical canyon, with its walls magically pulled from the earth. Bruder scooped up dirt from the site and took it to the block yard, where it was matched tone for tone with samples of block. The exterior walls were aged with copper sprayed with ammonium sulfate, to match the color of the mountains.
While Thoreau might be a worthy guide, MacKay-Lyons suggests that one of the reasons architecture hasn't yet found its environmental voice is because architects tend to focus too narrowly on nature. No doubt Bohlin would agree. "You have to be alive to almost anything and begin to understand what might be important," he says. "In the end, one of the great pleasures of doing houses, and in particular doing them in a touching place, is to do something that is empathetic. It's one of our great motivations in continuing to want to do houses."
x-ray vision To the untrained eye, nature looks random and chaotic. But as landscape architect Gary Hilderbrand, FASLA, will tell you, there's a method to the madness, and it's his job to catalog the land for architects and owners. Using surface geology maps that include the subregion, Hilderbrand, a principal of Reed Hilderbrand Associates, Watertown, Mass., studies the underlying materials that have shaped a site. Other tools include aerial photography, topological surveys in one-foot contours, maps showing a site's vegetative structure, and research into the past history of land uses.
A north-facing wooded slope in the Northeast, for example, will have a vegetative profile that offers clues to frost and drainage conditions and soil depth. Drainage patterns are critical. Does a site lie over bedrock or an aquifer? Is there underlying gravel or till? The materials beneath the surface help determine whether to move rock when it's cut, or whether fills will be stable.
"Those things often guide us because we are careful about what we call the character of a landscape," he says. "A site may have multiple characteristics. We don't shy away from transforming the character of a site. We just want to be secure that the intervention is rooted in a condition already there."
Although a one-acre site might not warrant this kind of research, Hilderbrand says such knowledge drives the owners' stake in their land a little deeper. The firm produces a thick description of how a site is formed and how it might be transformed over time. "We often will be able to present a way of thinking about the site that is unfamiliar to the owners," Hilderbrand says. "While much of design work is subjective, we feel we're able to give the client a great enfranchisement in their land, especially with larger land holdings."

The first two are to start backtrack with framebuffer modes (rendering to console, refer to google) with specific resolutions. Some monitors can take 1024x768 but for backwards compatibility, there's 800x600.
Those first two options are the ones you should be concerned about.
If you're going to run it off via unetbootin, you are stuck with only one partition for hosting BT4 image. That doesn't mean you can't create another partition on the USB stick, but you can't simply move the BT4 image around and expect it to work.

text: Although Storage wars might be fake, thanks to the show, i think everyone knows how a storage sale occurs and why they happen. It turns out that Lindsay has a huge storage locker. She also has a huge bill. To the tune of $16,000 she needs to pay or her locker will be auctioned off. This won't be a quiet Paris Hilton locker sale where the sex tape was found. Nope. This will be a fully covered all cable networks standing out there while Barry rides up in skeleton gloves and a wheelchair to bid on Lindsay's locker. The thing is I think the amount people pay for it will be crazy. She has a ton of designer stuff in there and maybe even things that were not hers before they ended up in there and you know there will be naked photos and tapes and other things she doesn't want to see the light of day. There is also no way she is going to get $16K to pay that bill when she has the IRS breathing down her neck for the money they are owed. They want their money first. That being said, if you want Lindsay to come over to your place for the weekend in the next few weeks and have $16K, well she would probably be very grateful.

Garth Brooks & Billy Crystal Leno's last 'Tonight Show' guests
Listen to Garth Brooks on iHeartRadio
As Garth Brooks prepares to launch a new phase of his career, he's helping to bring a chapter of Jay Leno's career to a close.
The country superstar will be the final musical guest on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." And Leno is capping off his "Tonight Show" run the way he started it. In addition to Garth, the show will feature actor Billy Crystal -- Jay's first "Tonight Show" guest more than 20 years ago.
Thursday's episode will mark the end of Leno's 22-years hosting "The Tonight Show" as well as his second goodbye. After stepping down in May 2009, Leno took the show back from Conan O'Brien in a less-than-graceful return in January 2010.
Jay began his run on "The Tonight Show" on May 25th, 1992, succeeding Johnny Carson to become the series' fourth host. Jay is handing the show over to Jimmy Fallon, who'll make his "Tonight Show" hosting debut later this month.
