PRINCETON, N.J. -- The 2011 cross country season got underway last weekend and the Ivies posted strong showings at several events across the Northeast highlighted by season-opening sweeps from Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth and Princeton.
For the second consecutive year, the Columbia men's and women's cross country teams swept tri-meets against Saint Michael's and host Vermont at the Catamount Family Center in Burlington, Vt. The men's team featured 15 of the top 16 finishers in the 8K race to finish with a perfect team score of 15. Columbia first-year Ben Eversole started his collegiate career in style, winning the men's individual title with a time of 25:16.6. In the women's 5K, Columbia posted a team score of 25 to edge Vermont by five points.
Dartmouth earned a men's and women's sweep as the Big Green squads took top honors at season-opening home invitationals, which were run at the Hanover Country Club in Hanover, N.H. The men's team earned a perfect score and was led by senior Ethan Shaw, who won the event for the second year in a row with time of 21:59. The women's team had four of the top five finishers and was led by sophomore Abbey D'Agostino, who won in a time of 16:49.
Cornell and Princeton also turned in men's and women's sweeps over the weekend, with Cornell downing Army and Binghamton and both Tiger squads capturing top honors at the Fordham Invitational.
Cornell's tri-meet wins came at home on the Moakley Course, with the women scoring a perfect 15 points. Junior Katie Kellner won her first career college cross country race (17:56.8) on the 5000 meter course to lead the Big Red women's team, while sophomore Max Groves captured top honors in the five-mile men's race, crossing the line in 26:23.8.
Princeton captured the men's and women's races at the Fordham Invitational. Senior Donn Cabral led the men's team to victory by taking the top spot (25:30.37) on a course just shy of five miles at Van Cortlandt Park. The Tiger men bested second-place Navy by 15 points. Yale and Penn finished third and fourth, respectively. On the women's side, the Tigers placed four runners in the top-10 en route to the win on the five-kilometer course. Led by a first-place finish from sophomore Melissa Chapman, who won in 18:03.63, the Yale women placed second.
Complete USTFCCCA Polls
There was also movement by the Ivies in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) polls as the first in-season rankings were released on Sept. 13. In the men's poll, Princeton fell one spot to 12th, Dartmouth moved up one spot to 29th and Columbia earned a vote. In the women's poll, the Tigers jumped up three places to 19th, while Dartmouth (27) and Columbia (16) were the two teams in the others receiving votes category. The next set of polls will be released on Sept. 20.

What is it?
The Scomis Remote Support Service is a new service that replaces the use of VNC with a standardised, secure and audtited remote support platform. The platform will be powered by CentraStage.
This document provides information regarding the implementation, use and planned developments for the Scomis Remote Support Service.
What Scomis will do
We will make available a web form where schools will be invited to sign up for our new Remote Support Service. We will maintain a webpage outlining the Remote Support Service features and where the Remote Support Service will be used.
Before setting up remote tasks, we will agree what the best time for these to be done will be and keep this information on our records.
We will ensure that the agent is only used by trained members of the Scomis team who will not access your computer without permission.
We will ensure that permissions will be tightly controlled, providing a tiered administration structure giving only the required levels to staff providing Remote Support.
We provide assurances that the agent will not but used for transferring files to and from you computer without permission, or give any third party access to your computer.
What it will be used for now
A secure and fully auditable replacement of the existing VNC application that is currently used for remote support.
In order for us to improve our services to schools, the agent collects an audit of the computer to provide added value to Scomis Services, such as the Windows Health Check or Onsite Technician Services, SIMS Upgrade Service, Scomis Encryption Service, McAfee Antivirus software, Scomis Remote Backup and SIMS Terminal Server Service.
The Remote Support Service will be used to deliver SIMS Upgrades for subscribing Schools and future migrations, dramatically reducing the downtime that schools experience whilst this procedure is carried out.
What it could be used for in the future
The agent has the ability to actively monitor and issue alerts for a selection of common problems - in some cases these problems can be automatically fixed. This could become part of a whole managed network solution.
The Remote Support Service can be used to provide SLA statistics such as the amount of time spent in remote support sessions.
The agent can also carry out remote tasks for SIMS Migrations, automated fixes, updates to software, AntiVirus Updates, Defragmentation and Computer Tidy up. The scope and type of these tasks is likely to grow over time as the product matures further and software changes dictate.
Further efficiencies can be realised by utilising the ability to perform Computer Shutdown for power saving,
Details of a these new services will be released during this current financial year.
How it works
A software agent will be installed onto specific school computers - initially only on main administration machines. The agent will replace the VNC software with a newer more secure and auditable version.
The agent will operate in 'Privacy Mode' by default on Administration Computers, which requires the end user to accept or reject the offer of support. All successful connections are logged to form an audit trail providing details of how long a session lasted and who provided the remote support. In addition, the agent screenshots each mouse click, saving a record of the remote support session.
Access to the Remote Support Platform requires a username and password.
Permissions are assigned to the user, allowing nominated ScoMIS and Finance officers the ability to request an audited remote session from the schools that they support. Access to the Remote Support platform will be restricted to approved connections through corporate devices or from within the ScoMIS Infrastructure. The platform will be further be protected by the ScoMIS Firewall.
Permissions will be tightly controlled, providing a tiered administration structure giving only the required levels to staff providing Remote Support. To satisfy data security requirements, all traffic between the agent and the Remote Support management server will be encrypted using 128bit SSL encryption.
The ScoMIS Remote Support Service will not currently replace existing Remote Desktop access to dedicated servers.
How much does it cost
Scomis will be providing one agent per school for use on the main administration machine as part of the Service Level Agreement that schools purchase. Additional agents can be purchased please contact Scomis should schools require them.

Ruler: King Felipe VI (2014)
Prime Minister: Mariano Rajoy (2011)
Land area: 192,819 sq mi (499,401 sq km); total area: 194,896 sq mi (504,782 sq km)1
Population (2014 est.): 47,737,941 (growth rate: 0.81%); birth rate: 9.88/1000; infant mortality rate: 3.33/1000; life expectancy: 81.47; density per sq mi: 240
Capital and largest city (2011 est.): Madrid, 6.574 million
Other large cities: Barcelona, 5.57 million; Valencia, 797,000
Monetary unit: Euro (formerly peseta)
Spain occupies 85% of the Iberian Peninsula, which it shares with Portugal, in southwest Europe. Africa is less than 10 mi (16 km) south at the Strait of Gibraltar. A broad central plateau slopes to the south and east, crossed by a series of mountain ranges and river valleys. Principal rivers are the Ebro in the northeast, the Tajo in the central region, and the Guadalquivir in the south. Off Spain's east coast in the Mediterranean are the Balearic Islands (1,936 sq mi; 5,014 sq km), the largest of which is Majorca. Sixty mi (97 km) west of Africa are the Canary Islands (2,808 sq mi; 7,273 sq km).
Parliamentary monarchy.
Spain, originally inhabited by Celts, Iberians, and Basques, became a part of the Roman Empire in 206 B.C. , when it was conquered by Scipio Africanus. In A.D. 412, the barbarian Visigothic leader Ataulf crossed the Pyrenees and ruled Spain, first in the name of the Roman emperor and then independently. In 711, the Muslims under Tariq entered Spain from Africa and within a few years completed the subjugation of the country. In 732, the Franks, led by Charles Martel, defeated the Muslims near Poitiers, thus preventing the further expansion of Islam in southern Europe. Internal dissension of Spanish Islam invited a steady Christian conquest from the north.
Aragon and Castile were the most important Spanish states from the 12th to the 15th century, consolidated by the marriage of Ferdinand II and Isabella I in 1469. In 1478, they established the Inquisition, to root out heresy and uncover Jews and Muslims who had not sincerely converted to Christianity. Torquemada, the most notorious of the grand inquisitors, epitomized the Inquisition's harshness and cruelty. The last Muslim stronghold, Granada, was captured in 1492. Roman Catholicism was established as the official state religion and most Jews (1492) and Muslims (1502) were expelled. In the era of exploration, discovery, and colonization, Spain amassed tremendous wealth and a vast colonial empire through the conquest of Mexico by Cortés (1519–1521) and Peru by Pizarro (1532–1533). The Spanish Hapsburg monarchy became for a time the most powerful in the world. In 1588, Philip II sent his invincible Armada to invade England, but its destruction cost Spain its supremacy on the seas and paved the way for England's colonization of America. Spain then sank rapidly to the status of a second-rate power under the rule of weak Hapsburg kings, and it never again played a major role in European politics. The War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714) resulted in Spain's loss of Belgium, Luxembourg, Milan, Sardinia, and Naples. Its colonial empire in the Americas and the Philippines vanished in wars and revolutions during the 18th and 19th centuries.
In World War I, Spain maintained a position of neutrality. In 1923, Gen. Miguel Primo de Rivera became dictator. In 1930, King Alfonso XIII revoked the dictatorship, but a strong antimonarchist and republican movement led to his leaving Spain in 1931. The new constitution declared Spain a workers' republic, broke up the large estates, separated church and state, and secularized the schools. The elections held in 1936 returned a strong Popular Front majority, with Manuel Azaña as president.
Salient Links UK Limited launched the Diplomat Link in October 2011 with an objective to provide a platform to diplomatic community to share and exchange their experiences while working in different cultures and countries.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara Delivers Graduation Address at Law School Diploma CeremonyMay 20, 2013
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara gave the graduation address and received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree at Fordham Law's 106th diploma ceremony, on
|Preet Bharara addresses the graduates. Photo by Chris Taggart
Fordham University President Joseph M. McShane, S.J., and Fordham Law Dean Michael M. Martin conferred degrees on 660 graduates—481 of whom received J.D. degrees and 179 of whom received LL.M. degrees.
Bharara, appointed U.S. Attorney by President Obama and unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate, has served in the position since 2009. He was featured in a Time magazine cover story, "This Man is Busting Wall Street," and was also named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by the publication in 2012.
"I hope you always keep liberty and justice in your hearts, and think from this day forward what you can do with the diploma you have just earned," Bharara said to the graduates. "Because what you can do is truly limitless. Because the potential power of a law degree is, I believe, unmatched in American society."
Fordham Law alumna Sally J. Bellet '76 also received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree and spoke about the impact her grandfather, Louis Stein '26, had on the founding of the Law School's ethics center that bears his name.
The Eugene J. Keefe Award, presented by the Student Bar Association to the person who has made the most important contribution to the Fordham community, was given to Hillary Exter, Director of Student Organizations and Publicity in the Public Interest Resource Center. Hon. Richard Sullivan, U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, received the Adjunct Teacher of the Year Award. Professor Joseph Landau was presented with the Teacher of the Year Award.

August 2013
Aug. 29, 2013 -- Alumni giving
How much does UAF Alumni give back to the university in addition to the alumni fees? If as an alum I want to give to a certain department, can I do that? How will I know that it goes there?
More than 1,400 UAF alumni gave back to the university in FY13 for a total of $518,646. Donors are always welcome to contribute to a program (or area) of their choice at UAF. Development staff are availalble to speak with you about options or you're welcome to make a gift online via our secure site. The gift can be designated as unrestricted gift to the Chancellor's fund or to a specific area. The area you choose to support will be reflected on the charitable gift receipt from the UA Foundation and will be noted in a stewardship letter.
Aug. 29, 2013 -- Worn out plaque
On the north lawn of Arctic Health, there is a tree and plaque dedicated to Dr. Leslie Viereck. Unfortunately, the plaque and its wooden base have seen some damage. The wood is warping and the corners of the plaque have broken off. I suggest that we look into repairing or replacing it with materials that might be more durable.
Thank you for your suggestion. It's been forwarded to Facilities Services for consideration. We'll update the post here, if a solution is found.
Aug. 29, 2013 -- Microsoft Word for low-income students
Is it true that low-income students may receive from UAF free Microsoft Word software or other software needed for schoolwork for their personal computers?
From Alex Taylor, OIT Helpdesk
The Microsoft license for UAF does not cover students.
Microsoft does have student discounts for Microsoft Office (around $139.99).
Scroll down to "Software you'll use everyday" for Office options.
There are free alternatives.
A cloud hosted option is Google Drive, which is available through UAF student Google Apps @ UA accounts. Google Apps Docs, Sheets, and Slides are compatible with Microsoft Office. Google Apps makes for easy collaboration with other students. With Google Drive installed on a computer or mobile device, the files can be synced, allowing for offline editing, and easy updates between devices.
An installed application alternative is LibreOffice.
LibreOffice is an open source Office Suite application that is also compatible with Microsoft Office.
Aug. 29, 2013 -- Performance evaluations
There have been two grapevine questions about performance evaluations. Is enforcing them a real thing? I have to say it's not happening in my department.
We are now tracking performance evaluations for UAF. Human Resources will be contacting supervisors who have not completed performance evaluations in the last 12 months on their direct subordinates. Performance evaluations are required for the following reasons:
1. UA Regulation requires evaluations to be completed annually.
2. In order to maintain accreditation - all staff must be evaluated annually.
3. It is a meaningful process that provides employees with feedback on their performance. Evaluations are tools to discuss and document development goals
Aug. 28, 2013 -- Polar Perk website updated
What is the point of "This Week at Polar Perk" on the Dining Services website if it hasn't been updated in three weeks?
From Pamm Zierfuss-Hubbard, interim contracts manager
Thanks for letting us know! We apologize for not updating "This week at Polar Perk" recently. We've been working to overhaul the website and neglected to update the page. Within the next few weeks, you'll notice a lot of changes and updates where we hope to provide you with timely and up-to-date information. Thank you for your patience.
Aug. 23, 2013 -- UAF's website navigation and content managment system
I have just spent over 30 unsuccessful minutes trying to find the Final Exam schedule for this coming Fall 2013 semester. Why is this hard to find? Mostly I get 'warnings' that UAF is tracking the pages I'm looking at. Does anyone think that's friendly for perspective students?
UAF's website is not very good (sorry Marketing) and Roxen is horrible to use (our Department uses our own server because it's so bad). I bet the chancellor hasn't been informed at how unhappy the Departments are with Roxen; why are we still using this terrible tool?
I'm sorry you experienced frustration trying to find the final exam schedule. A link to the schedule can be found from the UAF>Academics page (http://www.uaf.edu/uaf/academics/) under Catalogs and Schedules. You can also find this information by using the search box; "final exam schedule" will result with the link as the first option.
In an effort to address your concerns about the difficulty of final exam dates, we've added the link in the academic calendar (available as a Google calendar) at http://www.uaf.edu/calendars/academic/ and in the academic catalog at http://www.uaf.edu/catalog/current/acad_calendar.html. The detailed final exams schedule is part of the Registration Guide and can be found online at http://www.uaf.edu/register/finals/.
Regarding the warnings you experienced, this is an error related to Google docs that users should not experience. Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or 907-474-6863 to troubleshoot.
As for your concerns with Roxen, OIT continues to make improvements to the platform with improved templates and added functionality, while continuing to investigate other potential enterprise-level web content management systems that will meet UAF's needs. If there is a web content management system you'd like OIT to consider, please send your suggestions to the OIT support center at email@example.com.
Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback and work with us toward improving the UAF website for all of our users. If you would like to continue providing regular feedback on other UAF websites, I encourage you to join our UAF web user testing Google group at https://groups.google.com/a/alaska.edu/forum/#!forum/uaf-web-user-testing-team. The group is comprised of faculty, staff, students and community members who are periodically sent sites to test and review. If you have immediate suggestions, please send these to email@example.com. We are interested in your thoughts.
Aug. 23, 2013 -- Battery recycling stations
I know about the battery recycling area at the Rasmuson Library, but is there a similar station on West Ridge?
Yes, there is another station in the Mather Libary located in the Elvey Building.
Aug. 22, 2013 -- Academic catalog
Why does the current catalog link on the main site show information for 2012-2013?
For about two months of the year (often less), the catalog website is under production, as it takes time to turn the printed version into a decent HTML version. During this time, the /current/ directory of the catalog will include the previous year's catalog, but the homepage of the catalog (www.uaf.edu/catalog/) will include PDFs of the newest version. We do not revise the /current/ directory until the HTML version is complete, as many websites have links to this.
The new HTML version (and, hence, the revision of /current/) should be live by Sept. 3.
Basically, it just takes time to create, and we can't start on it until the new catalog has gone to the printer.
Aug. 21, 2013 -- Staff evaluations
There has been some considerable talk lately about enforcement of staff performance evaluations. Everything I have seen so far implied that any performance evaluations are composed by the employee's direct supervisor or someone similar.
My question is, what does a person do if they feel their supervisor may not be accurately representing their actual performance, intentionally or otherwise? In some cases these evaluations could be used in determining pay increases and possibly even retention.
From Brad Lobland, UAF Human Resources
Yes, that is correct. The evaluation is completed by the direct supervisor or a higher level supervisor in the management chain. Opinions of peers are not part of the evaluation process, but in some cases it may be appropriate to get their feedback.
Employees have the right to respond in writing to the evaluation which is attached to the performance evaluation and placed in the employee's personnel file. Please contact your Human Resources Consultant if you would like to discuss your situation in more detail.
Aug. 13, 2013 -- ORP retirement
I wish I could access my ORP retirement account; according to the investment company, some employers allow this after age 59.5 under certain conditions.
I think it would be good policy to allow older employees to take a portion of this (maybe the amount they have actually contributed?) prior to separation or retirement. Some employers allow employees of a certain age to take loans against the accounts as well.
This would allow people to make quality of life choices and keep them from having to leave the university in order to access the investment fund. Many people would like to enjoy some of that money while they are healthy, or diversify their investments with real estate etc and not just leave it all to
From Erika Van Flein, UA Human Resources
The UA retirement plans are qualified plans governed by Internal Revenue Code and the Retirement Program Plan Document. Distributions are allowed only for employees who have been terminated from all employment for at least 45 days, employees who are 60 or older and no longer in a participating position (e.g. temporary or adjunct only), or employees who are 70 1/2 regardless of employment status. Loans are not allowed from the ORP or UA Pension Plan, but loans are available from the voluntary 403(b) plan.
The age 60 allowance was added a few years ago to address the issue of employees who terminated their regular position and came back right away as a temp or adjunct. Prior to that amendment, they couldn't access their retirement accounts even though they were "retired." We made the plans' official retirement age be age 60 to match the current tiers of PERS and TRS.
Aug. 12, 2013 -- Construction zone traffic
Is there protocol for pedestrians on campus and construction crew vehicles? Sometimes it's hazardous walking through main campus because trucks and other heavy machinery drive through there way too fast without yielding to pedestrians or park and block pedestrian walkways. I am referring to the area around Gruening to the Wood Center and Constitution Hall.
Your question will be shared with the project managers overseeing these areas. The following suggestions for pedestrians do not specifically address construction zones, but both pedestrians and drivers should take extra care on site. Keep in mind that many times heavy equipment operators may not see pedestrians from their vantage point and heavy equipment drivers can't always stop the machinery quickly.
We realize this has been an extraordinarily busy summer for construction in the core of campus and are rapidly nearing the end of these disruptions in order to be ready for the beginning of the fall semester. We appreciate the patience that UAF employees and the public has shown this summer while we make needed safety and operational improvements.
- Always cross at marked crosswalks.
- Obey any pedestrian signals and look left right left. By doing this you insure that the road is clear in both directions before crossing.
- If a vehicle approaches, make eye contact with the driver to be sure they see you before you cross.
- Look before walking past stopped vehicles. Do not cross just because a driver waves you on. Be sure all lanes are clear first.
- Remember that bicyclists are not considered pedestrians unless they are walking their bikes. Otherwise, they are considered vehicles.
- Yield to pedestrians.
- Remember that bicyclists are not considered pedestrians unless they are walking their bikes.
- Obey vehicular traffic signals and laws on the roadways.
- Use extra caution as you transition between bike paths, roads and sidewalks. Be aware that your actions are unpredictable to drivers and pedestrians.
- Yield to pedestrians in the crosswalks and at intersections.
- Be prepared to stop at all marked crosswalks. Stay alert and reduce speed in areas with crosswalks.
- Come to a complete stop if pedestrians are crossing or preparing to cross.
- Never pass another vehicle that has stopped or is slowing down at a crosswalk
Aug. 12, 2013 -- Landscaping between Gruening and Eielson
I noticed that the passage area between the Gruening and Eielson Building entrances has had the irises, dogwood, and pansies torn out. Wood bark and two giant menacing looking and un-sit-able boulders have been put in their place. Whose idea was this and why was this done?
From Darrin "Bear" Edson, Facilities Services
The shrubs that were in this location were over grown and under cared for, this will allow us to manage the landscape and keep it clear of snow and debris. Some of the plant material was rescued from the waste of the new engineering building. The wood chips are generated from other landscaping and clearing projects on campus. The large rocks fill a couple roles, as they are leftover from another project, as well as provide a year round attraction to look at. Facilities Crews will be adding some smaller shrubs, just to give the area more depth.
Aug. 12, 2013 -- Wellness program
What has happened to the university's wellness provider? I heard WIN got the boot and a California company will take over. What services will they provide and what is the cost? Thank you.
From Erika Van Flein, UA Human Resources
The contract has not yet been awarded, but we'll update employees once it has been. The RFP did require most of the same services employees enjoy now. On-site services were a required program element, as were biometric screenings, telephonic and online services. The committee was a 5-person group from around the state (each MAU was represented) and the group reviewed for technical score and pricing to determine the best value for our wellness program.
Aug. 11, 2013 -- Food grown at the Agrictulture and Forestry Experiment Station
What happens to the produce from the Agriculture and Forestry Experiment Station?
From Nancy Tarnai, SNRAS
At the Fairbanks Experiment Farm on the UAF campus, food grown at the Georgeson Botanical Garden is divided among volunteers. At the research plots, the produce is primarily processed for data collection and analysis. Some is donated for university and community events and to the food bank and soup kitchens. This year the farm is providing some produce for the Farm to School program in Tok and Galena. Grain is grown for research purposes, with seeds retained for future use. Seeds are also shared with the state's Plant Materials Center.
Aug. 2, 2013 -- How to pronounce Gruening
How do you properly pronounce Gruening? I have been pronouncing it GREEN-ing for 20 years, but sometimes I hear people pronouncing GROON-ing. Should I correct them, or are they right?
Earnest Gruening's name is pronounced GREEN-ing.
About the Ernest Gruening Building.
The building was dedicated in May 1972, is an eight-story, 72,000-square-foot structure and the first building on campus more than three stories tall. It was designed to resemble the FBI office building in Washington, D.C.
The Gruening Building houses the College of Liberal Arts and the School of Education as well as classrooms and department offices.
Ernest Gruening was born in New York City in 1886. He graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1912 but never practiced medicine. He discovered a love for journalism and joined the Boston American as a reporter immediately after graduation. From 1938 to 1942, Gruening was a member of the Alaska International Highway Commission. In 1939, Roosevelt appointed Gruening territorial governor of Alaska. He served 14 years as governor and made statehood his personal campaign.
Aug. 2, 2013 -- Career Services closing
I heard that Career Services is closing and the staff members are being reassigned. Is there a plan for another office to take over the important services this office has provided in the past? Are other offices at risk of closing?
The Office of Career Services will be downsized and eliminated over the course of the next 16 months. During that time, career fairs and other campuswide events scheduled for the 2013-2014 academic year will continue and the office will remain open, but provide fewer services. We will work with university and community partners to create a new long-term plan for student career support services and aim to implement that plan by December 2014.
At this point, we have not eliminated any other departments. We do anticipate leaner budgets in the coming years and will be asking the campus community to help us find cost savings in the future. It's too early to say exactly what those will be, but we want input from everyone. For more information and to offer suggestions for cost savings, visit the Office of Management and Budget website at http://bit.ly/UAFbudget.
Aug. 1, 2013 -- Sink hole developing
On the road next to Hess Village (driving in the right lane, uphill, near the snow dump entrance)is a huge sink hole developing in the roadway and the road is buckling. There are no markers indicating the hole or the damage to the road. Can these be clearly marked until they're fixed?
Facilities Services has filled the hole (temporary repair) while awaiting a contractor to come up campus and make permanent repairs. Please call 474-7000 for Facilities Services dispatch to report maintenance and repair needs.

MSD DynaForce Starters feature a 3.4 horsepower motor to crank over the reduced 4.4:1 gear set to deliver great torque to get the engine turning. The armature is balanced during assembly and is guided by two ball bearings for smooth engagement and thousands of starts. The downsized housing clears most headers and oil pans, but just in case, MSD made the billet mount so it can be clocked in different positions to help in tight applications. The DynaForce Starter is powder coated MSD red and will stay looking good, even though it's underneath your car. DynaForce Starters are never rebuilt or refurbished units.High Torque Starter Features
If you struggle to start your race engine because the starter can't keep up then this High Speed DynaForce Starter is what you are looking for. It is designed for race engines using magnetos that require higher cranking speed and provides 25% extra speed so even the most stubborn motor will start. High Speed Starter Features:
JEGS Easy Kits are designed by JEGS high performance racing professionals to help you get all the performance parts you need for your race car, hot rod or truck.

text: Nick636 October 04, 2012 3:50 PM You know, looking at the first few comments from Lewis, it would be very easy to say, "Ah, what a git, look how he talks to the media...". BUT, I can't understand how Perez, Di Resta and Massa weren't reacting EXACTLY THE SAME! They ask the same question over and over, a question the drivers make clear, from the first time asked, they can't really answer... Anyway, let's hope for a good race! GO JENSON!!!

QOTSA & Nick Oliveri perform together for first time in decade
Listen to Queens of the Stone Age on iHeartRadio
The newly-reformed friendship between Queens of the Stone Age and former bassist Nick Oliveri is apparently still going strong.
Oliveri took the stage with the band Tuesday night in Portland, Oregon to sing lead on one of their encore tracks, "You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire."
The performance marked their first live show together in more than a decade. Oliveri was fired from Queens of the Stone Age in 2004. But in 2012, he invited frontman Josh Homme to guest on a track with his band Mondo Generator. Homme then invited Oliveri to contribute to a song on Queens of the Stone Age's last album, ...Like Clockwork.

Carson came to my class today. Via the wonders of Skype, I was able to bring my dear friend and esteemed colleague over 1,600 hundred miles and across a time zone to come and talk to my kids about the effects of decolonization. My goal was to give them an historical perspective on the destabilizing influences of decolonization in the hopes that they would better understand the memoir we're reading that recounts the experiences of a child soldier in Sierra Leone.
As usual, it was awesome.
Well, to be more specific, it was awesome for ME. My problem is this; I think that I get FAR more out of Carson's lectures than the students do, and I feel that this happens with most of the guests I invite into my classes.
Here's the thing: I try to make sure that I get a lot of different voices in my class, and I try to get other people in to talk to my kids as often as possible. I teach in a ridiculously tiny school. No, really; we have about 80 kids and only 6 full-time teachers. I want to make sure that my kids get exposure to a number of different perspectives and ideas, and I want for them to have the opportunity to hear those things from people other than me.
I go out of my way to invite incredibly smart, articulate, and engaging teachers to speak to my kids. I want them to be sucked into these talks as much as I am, so I make sure to choose people who a) know their shit and b) know how to deliver it. Some of these people are, like Carson and my colleague Tom from the Holocaust Center, teachers by profession. Others, like my friend who grew up in Nazi Germany and speaks about his struggles with identity and forgiveness, are people who speak from their own experiences. Either way, though, these people offer incredible gifts to my students. The problem is that my kids really aren't in any intellectual position to truly appreciate them.
Take today as an example. I invited Carson to come and talk about how the withdrawal of a colonial government is often an incredibly destabilizing influence in a country. I wanted him to give the kids a more complete picture of the political implications than I could, as most of my experience with colonialism and imperialism have come by way of their influences on a culture's literature and not on a nation's government or social or economic systems. My hope was that the students could take this information to help them form a better, clearer picture of the underlying conflict in the background of the memoir we're reading; the book is written in the perspective of a 12-year-old boy who doesn't understand why his country is struggling through a civil war, so that information is necessarily absent from the book. I felt that understanding some of the causes of that conflict might help them to better connect with an experience that, thankfully, none of them will likely ever have to contemplate beyond this reading.
Carson did a gorgeous job with the time we were able to share. He gave the kids a lot of really great, easy-to-understand examples of what drives colonialism, and what historically happens when a colonizing power withdraws from a country, and how those effects could be lessened through more careful policy. He was incredibly engaging – sometimes even funny – and he asked all the right questions.
In a room of 18 kids, I saw maybe two or three who had any glimmer of an idea of what was going on. Only three students had anything to say (the same three who always have something to say) and I can say with some pretty solid certainty that none of them had any clue what jingoism means.
This isn't a big surprise. In fact, it's something that I've been lamenting about since I came to CHS last year; before just this school year, there wasn't
any a strong focus on raising the academic bar in the school and, as a consequence, the kids have had no reason to go beyond the barest minimum they've been expected to do up until now. I'm thrilled that's changing, and I recognize that it's going to take some time to get that bar up to a level we're satisfied with, but sometimes it's really, really hard to be patient. I want it to happen NOW.
I spoke to one of my colleagues about it this afternoon, and he reminded me that patience is exactly what's required. "It's like boiling frogs," he told me. The idea is to get the kids comfy in the academic "pot" and then gradually turn up the heat such that they're able to acclimate without too much protest. My friend is, of course, right about this; I'm already meeting huge resistance to the work I'm expecting from my kids (because they're used to what used to be asked of them, which was the academic equivalent of finger-paint and cookies at snack-time). That he's right doesn't diminish the fact that I'M still profoundly dissatisfied with what I can ask – and expect – my kids to do. I feel a sense of urgency that they understand MORE, and understand it BETTER. They miss out on so much of what we have to give them because they've not been taught – nor expected – to do any intellectual heavy-lifting. We have so little time with them as it is; to send them out into the world as ill-prepared as they are feels patently unethical to me.
In order for us to do any good, though, we have to keep them in the pot. I'm already concocting plans for turning up the heat, little by little, when we get back from Thanksgiving break. More than a hope, I have a need to see that CHS kids graduate with a far deeper, richer, and more nuanced understanding of their world than they currently have, and I'll take all the help, advice, and suggestions anyone can give me on how to make it happen.

I just don't want my big name RB's to flop like Michael Turner and Steven Jackson did for me last year.
I just don't want my big name RB's to flop like Michael Turner and Steven Jackson did for me last year.
MMO2 is done. I think I won the draft *wink*
I'm trying to check out these projections.
I'm one of those people with their PC specs listed in their signature now. Aryan PC Master Race.
QB: Matt Ryan; Matthew Stafford
RB: Jamaal Charles, DeMarco Murray; Bilal Powll, Joseph Randle; Daryl Richardson
WR: A.J. Green, Roddy White; Lance Moore, Jordy Nelson,
TE: Kyle Rudolph
R/W/T: Eric Decker
K: Dan Bailey
Def: Cincinnati Bengals
I'm not actually sure how good any of those guys are lol but I followed my list pretty well.
I'm one of those people with their PC specs listed in their signature now. Aryan PC Master Race.
Good receivers. As I mentioned above, Dallas doesn't have running backs that stay healthy. Other than Charles, I don't even know who the rest of the backs are. Rudolph is a decent tight end, but you are gonna need a backup. I also have the Bengals' defense.
2 Dallas RBs? I'd say your RBs past 1 and 2 are meh. Bengals D is going to be good this year. Other than that looks good. Don't get deceived if Stafford puts up better numbers one week than Ryan.
I picked 9th in MMOChamp2
QB - Russel Wilson(8), Josh Freeman(12)
RB - LeSean MeCoy(1), Alfred Morris(2), Ahmad Bradshaw(7), Bryce Brown(11)
WR - Randall Cobb(3), Vincent Jackson(4), Hakeem Nicks(6), Tavon Austin(9), Michael Floyd(13)
TE - Tony Gonzalez(5), Antonio Gates(14)
Def - Broncos(10)
K - Steven Hauschka(15)
For some reason the projected points for my WRs are crap, but other than that I think my team looks pretty good.
*starts crying* I didn't look at things like same team RBs.
Idk about these projections, they're scaring me. I'm probably gonna ask your opinions every single week for my team that I'll be drafting tomorrow 9:15.
I'm one of those people with their PC specs listed in their signature now. Aryan PC Master Race.
I kinda like those backs. I think McCoy will get fed a LOT in that offense. So will Morris. I don't think Wilson will put up stellar numbers, but I'd say hes better than 8th round lol.
Also I feel like Gonzalez will go godmode and have an amazing fantasy year. Atlanta is still one dimensional. Steven Jackson is better than Turner, but not by a lot. Both are pretty old.

Picked 7th in MMO Champ 2
QB - Aaron Rodgers, Tony Romo
RB - Trent Richardson, Reggie Bush, Lamar Miller, Fred Jackson
WR - Dez Bryant, DeSean Jackson, T.Y. Hilton, DeAndre Hopkins, Emmanuel Sanders
TE - Rob Gronkowski, Jordan Cameron
Def - Houston
K - Sebastian Janikowski
The Law firm is still listed as the #1 on the Bengals depth chart. I'm not sure why Bernard is going so high.
Be careful of the warnings that the sites give you though. Last year with Yahoo they didn't want me to start Torrey Smith after his brother was killed. I didn't have any other option but to start him, and then he went on to have his best game..
Picked 2nd in MMO Champ 2
QB - Cam Newton (4), Eli Manning (10)
RB - C.J. Spiller (1), Stevan Ridley (3), Darren Sproles (7), Shane Vereen(9), Bernard Pierce (13)
WR - Dwayne Bowe (5), Pierre Garcon (6), James Jones (8), Josh Gordon (11), Chris Givens (12)
TE - Jimmy Graham (2)
Def - Green Bay (15)
K - Justin Tucker (14)
Self Critic:
- There was more of a run on WR's than I was expecting, we had 3 computers drafting and that may have contributed to that, but I was late in drafting WR's and I feel thats my weakest section of my roster.
- Also taking Graham in round 2 may have been a slight reach, albiet at the end of round 2.
- Also I was trying to add kickers to my watch list and accidently drafted J.Tucker in round 14 when I was going to get DEF, but I got GB, which is what I was going to pick so it worked out ok. But Phil Dawson K SF was available at that point, round 15, and I would have probably taken him over Tucker.
Interested in what other people think!
Looks good. I'm not a Cam fan. Ridley Prime will get more touches this year. Like the WRs. No bueno on the D though.
Tucker is a good pick IMO.
CHI in round 5
SF and SEA in round 8
NE and HOU in round 9
DEN and CIN in round 10
BAL in round 11
I guess I could have taken a DEF at the start of round 9.. instead of Vereen.. But Eh.. thats a bit pricey for my liking. I would have taken Cinncy in 10 if they'd fallen to me.
Lamar Miller where you got him in round 6 was nice value. A lot of people are big on his potential this year.
The only thing I don't really like about your team is the selection of Jordan Cameron, I would have taken Cook or Rudoph over him, both which were available.
- - - Updated - - -
It went QB, WR, WR, WR, DEF, TE, K, before the first RB. I think that must have been some interesting pre-draft rankings.
And ahh.. I didn't even look at the schedule.. Yikes, yes GB is going to have a tough year.

The Lord Almighty sits on a throne as the Ruler of the universe, and in His left hand He holds an opened Gospel. With His right hand He blesses with the priest's blessing, the fingers of His hand forming the Greek letters "IC XC", which is the abbreviation for "Jesus Christ". In Christ's halo are the Greek letters for "I AM", for this is the King of Kings as spoken of in Revelation (1:8), "I am Alpha and Omega...saith the Lord, Which Is, Which Was, and Which Is To Come, the Almighty."
This is an example of a modern rendition of a traditional depiction of Christ as He will appear at the end of time, for icons are a revelation of theology and a vision of eternity made manifest for us as a foretaste "before that great and notable day of the Lord come." (Acts 2:20) Because Christ is Alpha and Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet which St. John used when he wrote his Gospel, Epistles, and Revelation, He always stands at the beginning and end of everything, bearing witness to how we choose to respond to His call to holiness. It is up to us to choose well, and cooperate with His Will to sanctify His People.

Jonathan Kay on the Global March to Jerusalem: Hateful ignorance on parade (NATIONAL POST COMMENT) 03/29/12)
Source: http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2012/03/28/jonathan-kay-on-the-global-march-to-jerusalem-hateful-ignorance-on-parade/
NATIONAL POST Articles-Index-Top
When Israeli paratroopers entered Jerusalems Old City during the Six- Day War of 1967, they had to rely on a passing bystander an old Arab Jerusalemite to guide them to the Western Wall of Herods long- destroyed Jewish Temple.
Why did these soldiers not know the way to the holiest place in all Judaism? Because none had ever visited it. When the Jordanians ruled Jerusalem, Jewish visitors were persona non grata, and many synagogues were bulldozed.
I recite these facts in anticipation of March 30, the date picked by activists for what they call the Global March to Jerusalem.
The march will demand freedom for Jerusalem and its people and to put an end to the Apartheid, ethnic cleansing and Judaisation policies affecting the people, land and sanctity of Jerusalem, the web site informs us. We aim to highlight the cause of Jerusalem (the City of Peace) which is considered the key to peace and war in the region and the world. The march will confirm that the policies and practices of the racist Zionist state of Israel against Jerusalem and its people are a crime not only against Palestinians but against all humanity.
With just a few sentences, the web site summarizes the dominant strains of anti-Israeli propaganda that circulate in the Arab and Muslim worlds (as well as at the United Nations Human Rights Council, which just adopted five new resolutions against Israel, including one written by Syria). In regard to Jerusalem, in particular, the Global March organizers emphasize the image of the city as a sort of once- peaceful, once-tolerant Eden, that recently has become corrupted and desecrated by hateful Jews.
And so it is worth taking a moment to remember what Jerusalem and the surroundings looked like before the Israelis took control of the area 45 years ago.
Far from the thriving centre of tourism and spiritual life that the city has become under the Israelis, Hashemite Jerusalem was something of a backwater. Even the Temple Mount then, as now, controlled by Muslims attracted few Islamic visitors. Jewish prayer at the Western Wall was practically non-existent: The faithful were confined to a tiny, constrained pit the size of a bowling lane.
And what about now? From the manner by which Israels shrillest enemies describe the Jewish state, one would think that the mosques had all been destroyed or turned into pig stys. And yet al-Aqsa and the holy Muslim buildings it contains have become an active place of worship for Muslims from around the world. Indeed, Muslims are free to pray at mosques all over Israel (and, unlike in many Muslim nations, Shiite and Sunni worshipers do not have to worry bout being blown up by their opposite number as they pray), just as Christians gather and worship freely at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and Baháís congregate freely at the Baháí World Centre in Haifa.
Unless you count the oddballs over at Jews for Jesus, there is not a single religious faith that does not enjoy full freedom of worship in Israel. Only a tiny, militant, widely despised fringe of Jews seek to remove the Temple Mount from Muslim religious custody.
Once the Jordanians were thrown out in 1967, archeologists from around the world descended on Jerusalem to excavate the treasures that Muslims had feared would weaken their claim to the city. In recent decades, as Simon Sebag Montefiore recounts in his newest book, Canaanite fortifications, Judaean seals, Herodian foundations, Maccabean and Byzantine walls, Roman streets, Umayyad palaces, Ayyubid gates [and] Crusader churches have all been uncovered.
Muslim leaders, on the other hand, when given the chance to excavate an area under the Temple Mount in the mid-1990s, took the opportunity to throw out tons of uninspected material, along with untold historical treasures. To his dying day, Yasser Arafat trafficked in the bizarre conspiracy theory that Jerusalem had never been a Jewish holy city. Such ignorance permeates Palestinian propaganda to this day.
But that Israels tolerant attitude toward other faiths presence in Jerusalem were mirrored by, say, Saudi Arabia, where non-Muslims arent allowed even to enter Muslim holy cities, let alone build churches or synagogues.
And yet we never hear of a Global March to Mecca. Odd that, no?
Jews and Arabs likely will continue to fight over control of Jerusalem for many years. But let us dispense with the idea that the Israeli presence amounts to a racist desecration of an otherwise peaceful city. If the moral battle between Jews and Arab were fought on the basis of who governed Jerusalem in a more tolerant and civilized fashion, the victor would not be hard to choose.

How to prevent nail biting?
I noticed my daughter has nail biting habit. Her finger nails are always trimmed yet still managed to bite those. When feeling stress or bored, she bites more often. No one else from our family does that and it bothers me a lot. Please help me on this.

Ive not experienced nail biting with my children however one of my siblings was a avid nail biter and thumb sucker.
I do know that the child will grow out of the habit with time.
In the meantime here is a great article on how you can support your child through the transitioning of nail biting.
Let us know how this works out for you all.

A 13-year-old girl, one of four teenagers struck by a car on a dark, rural road in Payson, has died from her injuries, the Utah Highway Patrol said.
UHP confirmed Monday that Courtney Osborn passed away about 1 p.m. Sunday at Primary Children's Medical Center after being taken off life support.
Osborn suffered severe head trauma and multiple other injuries when she was hit by a car about 11:24 p.m. on State Road 147 near 9200 South just north of Payson. UHP Cpl. Todd Johnson said that it was unclear Monday whether the teens were walking along the side of the road or whether they were crossing the road when the collision occurred. Johnson said investigators were looking into the possibility that they were walking along the side, "but that's not concrete yet."
Still at the hospital Monday in critical, but stable, condition was 13-year-old Jared Fillmore, who suffered multiple broken bones and head trauma. Haylee Burr, 15, and Shanece Reynold, 13, were released after being treated for minor leg injuries.
The four teens had been at a party in the area just before the crash. It was not clear on Sunday why the four decided to cross the highway, which has no streetlights, UHP said.
The driver of the car, 17-year-old Shanae Sainsbury, who was driving a late model Honda Civic, was not injured.
The cause of the accident remained under investigation.

Two charged in Sex-Trafficking Case
Two Troy residents are in the Albany County jail on sex-trafficking charges, according to Sheriff Craig Apple. Authorities say they fed a Lewis County woman's heroin habit and prostituted her out of the Super 8 Motel on Central Ave.
"They were selling her for sex and giving her three bags of heroin a day," said Apple. Detectives also seized 20 bags of heroin and about $1,800 in cash from the motel room.
Elijah Richardson, 19, and Jakia York, 19, both of Troy, are each charged with Sex-Trafficking (Class B Felony), Criminal Possession of Controlled Substance (3rd Degree, Class B Felony), Criminal Possession of Controlled Substance (7th Degree, Class A Misdemeanor) and Unlawful Possession of Marijuana (violation). They were arraigned in the Town of Colonie Court by Judge Peter Crummey and sent to the Albany County jail without bail.
They were arrested on Tuesday, March 4, after a tip on the whereabouts of an endangered 21-year old woman. The victim had told a friend she was being forced into prostitution and the friend contacted the local authorities who then called the Albany County Sheriff's Office, Apple said.
Sheriff's Investigators found that the 21-year old was being advertised as an escort on backpage.com so they called to set up a meeting, Apple said. That led them to the Super 8 Motel on Central Ave. to find the victim and she told them where to find two suspects – just a few doors down.

An April 16 gold tournament to be held at Chiefland Golf and County Club will benefit a scholarship fund established in memory of slain Dixie County Sheriff's Capt. Chad Reed Sr.
Reed, who was killed in the line of duty by a multiple shooting suspect on Jan. 14, is survived by a wife, Holly, and two sons, C.J., 9, and Caden, 5.
Stacy Marlow, an organizer of the event, spoke to the Chiefland Rotary Club recently and came away with a $250 donation and a $250 hole sponsorship from the group. Marlow's cousin is Reed's widow.

Sure, the contestants are required to actually sing the songs they are performing, but they are not out Jennifer Lopez who would never be able to actually compete on the show she is judging. Just like Paula Abdul before her, Jennifer Lopez lip synchs all of her performances on American Idol and will continue to do so because she is a lousy singer who knows she will look like an idiot if she tries to sing live. See, when you lip synch you can say there was a reason she had to do it whether it is production or a sore throat or time constraints or a million other excuses. When you sing live, it doesn't matter what excuse you come up with, the only thing people remember and play all over the internet is where you sound like crap. Real singers should be the judges on the show. How about taking some people who finished in the top 3 of Idol and have them be judges on the show. How can Jennifer Lopez judge and give advice on something she can't even do on our own. She would not even make it to Hollywood week.

Kim Kardashian reveals Kanye West's Christmas gift
Kanye West gave Kim Kardashian a "one of a kind" Christmas gift.
On Thursday, the bride-to-be revealed West had commissioned a Hermes Birkin pocketbook with a painting by visual artist George Condo.
The design features a nude couple (possibly meant to be West and Kardashian) getting intimate alongside other, um, creatures.
"#HandPaintedGeorgeCondo #HermesBirkin #OneofOne #ChristmasPresentFromYeezy," Kardashian wrote.
West and Condo previously collaborated on artwork for his 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
As Gossip Cop reported, Kardashian also shared photos of West from her family's Christmas Eve "Naughty or Nice" party.

After a lengthy wait drenched with anticipation, it's finally here: Daniel Radcliffe's first post-Potter project. Hoorah! Based off of the novel of the same name, The Woman in Black follows a young lawyer (DanRad, natch) who leaves his home in London to settle the affairs of the recently deceased Alice Drablow. Of course, though, he ends up in hotter water than he would have thought, getting embroiled in an eerie tale of danger, woe, and—of course—ghosts. Here, take a peek at the trailer:
Creepy, right? The story of The Woman in Black has had a long and healthy life; the novel was first published in 1983, a stage adaptation has been playing in London's West End since 1989 (and still plays today), a television movie was produced of it, and finally it's seeing a big screen release on February 3rd (that's tomorrow!) in cinemas everywhere. So to celebrate, we thought we'd introduce you to a whole bunch of other spooky, ghost-tacular films. We're going less for high-octane scares here and more for the subtle sort of eeriness that will stick with you even if you think it won't. Some of them are fairly recent; others are older; but all of them are quite unnerving indeed.
Be sure to scare yourself silly with The Woman in Black, in theaters this weekend! You can sleep with the lights on. We promise we won't tell anyone.
1. The Others (2001)
Partly inspired by Henry James' classic novella The Turn of the Screw, The Others capitalizes on just how creepy it can be to put something down in one place, then find it somewhere entirely different later. This goes for everything from objects to all of the curtains in your house. The Others is largely about memory, which can be a tricky—and a spooky—thing. Nicole Kidman's two creepy can't-be-left-in-the-sunlight kids help, too.
2. The Gift (2000)
The Gift has the somewhat dubious honor of being the one film that I know of in which Keanu Reeves is actually good. Cate Blanchett plays Annabelle "Annie" Wilson, a Southern widowed mother of three who also happens to be her Georgia town's resident "fortune teller." When Jessica King (Katie Holmes), the fiancée of the school's principal (Greg Kinnear), goes missing, she ends up getting drawn into the search—in more ways than one. An ensemble cast featuring Hilary Swank, Giovanni Ribisi, and Rosemary Harris among many, many others gives knockout performances, and director Sam Raimi, not usually known for his subtlety, brings a delicate touch to Annie's "gift."
Read 11 Celebrities Who Have Had Real-Life Ghostly Encounters
3. The Haunting (1963)
No, not the 1999 travesty; I'm talking about the 1963 classic here. Based off of Shirley Jackson's novel The Haunting of Hill House (which, by the way, is one of my favorite books ever), The Haunting follows the story of Eleanor "Nell" Lance (Julie Harris), Theodora, known as Theo (Claire Bloom), and Luke Sanderson (Russ Tamblyn, who happens to be Amber Tamblyn's father) as they assist Dr. John Markway (Richard Johnson) in his investigations into the paranormal. As soon as they meet up at the forbidding Hill House, though, a whole bunch of weird things start happening, most which seem to be centered around Nell. The beauty of both the novel and this adaptation of it is the ambiguity surrounding everything: Are there actual ghosts? Is Nell going nuts? You decide! One thing's for sure: Whatever walks at Hill House… walks alone.
4. The Orphanage (2007)
The Orphanage is a horror film in the same way that Pan's Labyrinth is a fantasy film: That's what it looks like on the surface, but there's a lot more going on underneath. Creepy kids, a former orphanage, a child ghost with a sack over its head… this one has it all. The Spanish children's game "Uno, Dos, Tres, Toca la Pared"—roughly, "One, Two, Three, Knock on the Wall," similar to Red Light, Green Light—factors prominently in the story, and believe you me, the pivotal scene that centers around it towards the end will scare you silly.
5. Gaslight (1944)
You've heard of the term "gaslighting," right? You know: That horrible form of psychological abuse which involves presenting a victim with false information in order to doubt their memory, perception, and sanity? Gaslight—and the 1938 play of the same name on which it was based—is where it comes from. In addition to featuring Charles Boyer slowly trying to drive Ingrid Bergman insane, it's also got a very young Angela Lansbury in her screen debut. Chilling.
More creeptastic ghost films, including The Devil's Backbone and The Shining, up next!

Fuck me its like good cop bad cop lol.You should prove him wrong to add credibility to your blog mate,and also to help other people who are thinking of fighting.training blogs can be a great tool for people thinking of training or fighting.i looked high and low for info about how it would feel to train for a fight before I decided to go for it and found none.i asked for help and advice from the people who know best,my coach,training partners and fighters from my gym.i started my blog to help motivate me so I can see where your comin from with that,but also people might see what it's like to mentally prepare.
And I put exactly what and how long I trained before making the decisions I made.
You don't have to answer my questions,its ur prerogative,all I'm saying is it may help other people if you do,and get bad cop off your back.
Twitter @ricbrad
Thanks for answering gooses question and adding a bit of substance to your blog instead of...oh wait...
Dear me.....
Its not about proving me wrong mate-your doing a training blog and the info i asked about-as well as other forum members by the way,would be very useful and relevent (especially considering the info you have included) to see where you are coming from and to how it might benefit you on your "journey"
Read me posts to see why am annoyed too- hardly comes across as being annoyed cos someone wants to train-Clue? arrogance. And support what ya crank? you talking about walking dogs and adding a few cups of green tea to ya diet? hardly an account of a gruelling training blog is it?
I am a fan,so thanks for letting me stick to that. However,like i mentioned i do train also-hard and consistant- another reason this troll/bullshit/nonsense is a tad annoying.
I'm coming to the conclusion you are literally an inbecile,you're making less sense the more you go on- read what i've posted and what you have been chatting since the start.... Who seems like a "wannabee"?
Hahaha! its really not hate yano-but if you feel i dont deserve to have any requests graced by yourself,listen to what other people are asking ya-same as me really innit?
Today went well sticking to my my nice clean diet and did a 2 hour walk with the dogs and had a nice cup of green tea when i got in felt really refreshed after drinking that. Feeding the trolls

How am I trolling?i admit I am relatively new on here,and gave u the benefit of the doubt cos,hell i could ise all the advoce an help i can get.but partridge is right.if u had competed or even traine before u would have answered my questions with no hesitation. The fact that u havnt leads me to think u never have,maybe uv done a boxercise class or two...I dunno.but it seems you've created this blog for nothing more than to be popular.i hope I'm wrong,but I doubt it.te advice u have to the guy asking about if he should compete with no ground game is laughable and shows ur lack of knowledge (saying he should go straight to semi pro????!!!!!)
Anyway,I'm sure ur not bothered about following my blog as I'm only fighting amatuer c class (no headshots) and u don't find it interesting.and ur right,ur blog will last longer than mine,my fights next week and it ends the day of my fight.so I guess u win that one.
Anyway,good luck with ur weight loss,I only hope that when u start training mma properly u will see that it takes well over a few months or a few years to hone ur skills enough to 'hang with the pros' cos I'm sure when u get in the cage with them,they wont offer you the benefit of the doubt as I did
Twitter @ricbrad
Firstly there's a huge difference between top level pros in this country and bottom level pros secondly there is a few who compete at pro rules that hardly train and get the shit kicked out of them. And 3rd I honestly couldn't care if you think I don't know what its like to train hard and step in the cage those are my memory's not yours Also i find it pretty cheeky that somebody who hasent even had his first fight yet and will be fighting amatuer is trying to rip in to me i mean comon man at least get your fight out of the way so I can half way respect you before trying to say i havent done this or that. And just for the record i didnt try brag you started asking the questions.
Mate,I respect everyone that trains mma,not just fighters.cant say in too fussed u dont respect me.if all u wan to do is fight so you can say that your a fighter......and not test yourself against the best possible opponent out there,then I find that pretty disrespectful to everyone that trains there arse off,fighter or not.i respect my coach enough to do what he thinks is best for me,as he is much more experienced than me.....even tho he doesn't fight.
Your making yourself sound like a dick.i commented cos i was genuinely interested.but u have shown how little u regard anyone else's opinion,and blindly believe what u want,rather than people who may be able to offer u advice.if u want to be a fighter and not put the proper training in,be prepared to be criticised by everyone who trains their arse off,fighter or not

Girl, 8, Shot Dead at Sleepover
(NEWSER) – A young girl is dead after an innocent sleepover turned into a nightmare in Oakland on Wednesday night. Alaysha Carradine, 8, was shot and killed at a friend's apartment when a gunman rang the doorbell then proceeded to fire through the door, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Alaysha's friend, 7, her friend's brother, 4, and grandmother were all injured in the attack, which has so far left family members and police with more questions than answers.

This is the name given to the remains or traces of a plant or animal preserved in the Earth's strata. The word itself is of Latin origin, signifying to dig. Fossils collected from all over the world provide detailed information about the organisms that have lived on Earth since life began.
Under normal conditions, when an animal dies, all traces of it quickly disappear. The body may be removed by scavengers or broken down by micro-organisms, after which no trace of the animal is left. Remains are only preserved under exceptional circumstances.171 For that reason, only a very few organisms are preserved as fossils after they die. The fossilization of any organism generally depends on two conditions being met:
The most efficient environment for fossilization is a muddy, clay-rich one. After any organism that falls—or is dragged—into such an environment, the elements around harden, forming a mould. Later, the soft tissues of the organism itself generally disappear, due to decay, but the mould or cast remains. If minerals subsequently fill the hollow, the result is an exact copy of the organism's outline. If the body parts are replaced with different minerals, this is known as petrifaction. So perfect can this petrifaction sometimes be that anatomical studies can even be carried out on fossilized specimens.172
Fossils may include not only the hard parts of living things such as bones, teeth, and shells, but can even preserve moulds of various organs and even suggest lifestyles. The shape of bones and how muscles were attached to them can tell us an animal's posture and how it moved.173
Fossil research also enables us to obtain information about extinct animals and plants, and when these particular species lived. However, evolutionists also regard fossils as vital in terms of constructing genetic relationships between living things and indicating similarities in their development. They use fossil remains to prove their claim that living things supposedly developed from one another in stages. However, although some 80% of the fossil records have today been uncovered, they have no evidence to offer, apart from a few fossils that subsequently proved to be fakes or the product of distortion. In fact, the fossils in the layers of the Earth confirm that living things have existed in their perfect forms ever since they were first created. (See Fossil records, below.)
The gaps in the fossil record are real, however. The absence of a record of any important branching is quite phenomenal. Species are usually static, or nearly so, for long periods, species seldom and genera never show evolution into new species or genera but replacement of one by another, and change is more or less abrupt. 174

Acclaimed filmmaker to offer the other side of immigration
By Peggy Binette, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-5400
Roy Germano has visited more than 50 college campuses, screening his award-winning film, "The Other Side of Immigration," and sparking conversation about the causes and the impact of Mexican immigration.
Germano will bring his presentation to the University of South Carolina Wednesday, April 4. The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place at 6 p.m. in the Darla Moore School of Business, Room 005. At the end of the 55-minute film, Germano will answer questions from the audience.
Germano says the film comes at a time of unprecedented anti-immigrant sentiment in many states, including South Carolina.
"It's my hope, my intent to spark a more objective and creative conversation about immigration reform," Germano said.
Through more than 700 interviews with rural Mexican families left behind by migrant workers headed to the United States, the film explores the root causes of Mexican immigration and proposes more creative and effective immigration policies.
Kimberly Simmons, director of USC's Latin American Studies Program, said she hopes Germano's film and visit will challenge students and others to consider the many sides to immigration.
"We are at a critical moment in our history in the United States, and in South Carolina more particularly, with respect to immigration and immigration policies. Our response to immigration will not only impact our generation, but also future generations," said Simmons, an anthropology and African American studies professor in the College of Arts and Sciences.
"This film gives us an opportunity to consider immigration in a new light - as a peopled migration - a network of families, friends, neighbors, teachers and communities that span the United States and Mexico (in this case). What are their stories and experiences? What can we learn by casting immigration as a peopled migration? What does this mean for Latino(a) communities in Columbia and in South Carolina in general? We have a unique opportunity to explore these questions surrounding immigration in South Carolina and in the country," Simmons said.
"The Other Side of the Immigration" was named a Notable Film of 2011 by the American Library Association. It has been called "a must-see for anyone serious about the subject" and a "beautifully shot film" that "shows the human side of immigration." The film was named "most original presentation of a current political issue" at Politics on Film, an annual event sponsored by The Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington D.C.
