Is someone offering him loads of money to go elsewhere?
What's he planning?
Can't understand why he would decline a contract with the UFC unless the terms/pay was terrible.
Outside the UFC there is no decent fights for him.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
I'm assuming they won't let him do pro wrestling, which he loves and makes mad coin off of.
Or roids.
I'm no gynecologist but I know a cunt when I see one.
Which pays for his impeccable taste in American muscle cars
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
^ Thats where I got it from this morning Jim but I'd like to know why... Or where else people may think he go to...
He could go and fight Karl Etherington for the Bellator HW title?
I think Allan is correct
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Still... I'd have thought MMA would have been more appealing to him considering he's still a top 10 fighter, potential contender and pulling in $300,000 a fight.
Wrestling is a puppet show.
agreed, i reckon for pretty much everyone reading this, pro wrestling is a lesser art etc. But he's fairly evangelical about it, if that's the right word, seems to absolutely love it.

PLANO, TX -- Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. has completed the licensing of certain brands to Coca-Cola Co. following its acquisition of Coca-Cola Enterprises' North American bottling business. As part of the transaction, DPS received a one-time cash payment of $715 million. [see story]
Under the new licensing agreements, Coca-Cola will distribute Dr Pepper in the U.S. and Canada Dry in the Northeast, where the brands were formerly distributed by CCE. In addition, Coca-Cola will offer Dr Pepper and Diet Dr Pepper as the only non-Coke brands dispensed through its high-tech Freestyle touchscreen fountain dispenser. It will also offer Dr Pepper drinks in local fountain accounts formerly serviced by CCE.
The new agreements have an initial term of 20 years, with 20-year renewal periods, and require Coca-Cola to meet certain performance conditions.
Coca-Cola will continue to distribute Canada Dry, C'Plus and Schweppes in Canada. Additionally, in certain U.S. territories where it has a manufacturing and distribution footprint, DPS will begin selling Squirt, Canada Dry, Schweppes and Cactus Cooler, which were formerly sold by CCE.
"These agreements solidify Coke's support of the Dr Pepper trademark and the continued growth of both the brand and our flavor portfolio," said DPS president and chief executive Larry Young. "Moreover, it increases the brand's presence on fountain, providing additional opportunities for millions of consumers to sample the brand each and every day."

NV, 2001 disgorgement, Primo Estate Joseph Sparkling Red - Australia, South Australia, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide Plains (6/11/2009)
It seemed sparkling reds and me weren't to be. Barring a very fine Charles Melton sparkling red, none had really impressed me. Not the aged complexity talked of (in 1986 & 1990 Seppelts Show Sparkling Shiraz), nor keeping the residual sugar in check (in virtually all the others and indeed in the SSOSS).
This clicked for me though, more than even the Charles Melton wine.
Cork sealed, though more like a traditional cork as it came out, rather than the typical bulging sparkling wine 'mushroom'. This bought ~ 5 years ago. The colour is still a rich plum/claret with relatively fine but not persistent bead.
Impressive nose, with bright fruits, but also a faint bready note and swirling releases more baked fruit notes.
On the palate, there's a very viscous mouthfeel, especially initially on the tongue, not disimilar to some of the big fruited Barossan wines. Yet fight past this (and for me it is a fight) and there's great complexity to the palate.
Certainly the fruit is full and powerful, with the faint spritz (less than say a frizzante wine) keeping it in check. Baked/dried/liquered fruits come in, with a hint of mushroom and nuts. There is acidity but it's trying it's hardest and just keeping up - it does need the help of the wine's spritz though.
The finish has more complexity than expected and this is where the most mature aspects come through.
Whilst not 100% positive about this wine, I'm more than just impressed. One of those wines where you revisit it and it shows something else again. I'd definitely buy this again, even despite a fairly high price.
So, is this a great summer red? Well maybe not for me. It's a little too viscous (even with a white wine level chilling) and also a little too intense / full-on. It tastes way stronger than the stated 13.5% alc. Yet I still think it's a stonker and I could easily see myself on a winter's day, sipping this by a log fire. Maybe I still don't get sparkling reds

The Paranoid Gamer writes: "Which portable is right for you? Well it certainly all depends on what you want to do with your device, and more importantly, what kind of games you want to experience. The article won't be discussing tablets or smart phones, though they are a viable alternative of sorts to these systems. If you want to browse the net, read books, watch movies, listen to music or have access to a myriad of apps and bite size gaming than perhaps those options are best for you. Here though we will cover the more core systems that have some of those features, but their main focus is on gaming."
Wait till vita gets a price cut to get one....no one was buying 3ds untill the lowered the price...its going to be the same with vita
Even if the Vita became cheaper then the 3DS it still has to launch attractive games, it's all about the games, I know I'd go out and buy a Vita if they made a FF6 Remake for it.
I own both and have to say the I enjoy the Vita much more. Both have a bunch of great games, but I use my Vita for everything. It's my PS3 companion and a perfect partner for my constant needs. I am looking forward to Killzone a lot and Luigi's Mansion 2. I have gotten out of Pokemon over the years but I am going to get X or Y. It's been a long time since I got my fix and no time like the present.
This whole library thing also needs to be clarified. The 3DS having 300 party/Hello Kitty/Tetris games doesn't justify a more diverse line up. Both systems have at least 10+ AAA titles worth owning. I do love that the 3DS plays DS games. I don't play them anymore, but I am glad I have the option and that newer gamers can play titles they missed on last gens handheld.
meh, got both my 3ds&vita on launch day, i can easily say that 3/4 of the time when i use a handheld is the ps vita, the only game that made me use my 3ds is paper mario and theatrhythm...and a gba metroid game i got with the ambasador certificate, meanwhile i had a SHIT LOAD of ps vita games to play unlike on the 3ds 90% made of shovelwares right now.
i cant wait to see a new zelda/metroid game on the 3ds to justify my purchase, but hey, at least i get ps vita games.
exactly @trunks i didnt even get my 3ds until Kingdom hearts was near release vita has some great games but none i personally want to play except maybe gravity rush but thats one game and im not going to buy a system for one game. Ill wait until more games i want are released and buy them all with the system. Also a price drop wouldnt hurt
As with everyone who owns both and actually BUYS GAMES, I play my vita WAY more than my 3DS. Infact, I've just moved and my vita is with me and my 3DS is still in storage.
3DS because it got a stellar and still growing library of great games. Pokemon is on the horizon aswell along with many other great games.
Whereas if you want vita to collect dust with no games then get vita. As no games only few are worthwhile such as Gravity Rush and Golden Abyss and few are upcoming like tearaway and Killzone Mecenaries it doesnt help the vita is struggling badly and not getting supported with games at all.
bottom line is the vita has no games and a unimpressive library at the moment where as 3DS is leagues ahead and getting stronger.
Vita so far is dead in the water until sony do somthing about it soon.
great point below plus you have a huge library of amazing ds games to play on it on aswell. Want to play play old psp games on vita? you can forget that.
Great games are a matter of opinion. Really no games on the 3ds appeal to me, eventhough the 3ds has a large library. The smaller library on the Vita appeals to me more.
Oh god lol, again with the no worthy games. Go play your pokemon while I have Sly Cooper on the fucking go. Oh and you still think there are no games? Here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
Fucking 3DS fanboy. I love the 3DS and both of the consoles deserve the best.
Your comment seems slightly biased so I'm going to try to correct some things you may have been mistaken about. I'll start by saying that the Vita has plenty of good games. You can check Grim's list below if you want to confirm this for yourself.
Second, the main reason the 3DS has more games is because it has been out for a year longer, and many of the titles are low quality with only a few such as pokemon and animal crossing that appeal to me.
With your point about not being able to play psp games, I can play almost all of the games I had previously downloaded to my psp, and I have many PS3 cross play/buy games and some PS1 classics as well.
Please try not to be so one-sided next time you comment. Both consoles are good and have games that appeal to different people. Not everything is black and white.
If you think Vita has no games, you need to get your head out of your ass.
Anyway, I think you can't go wrong with either system. They're both amazing handhelds with more than enough great games to play. PS Vita is the best handheld I've ever played, hands down. I plan on getting a 3DS sometime, I'm not in any big hurry. Hopefully they come out with a 3DS with built in dual circle pads.
There is no denying the Vita is a better handheld than the DS, but Vita cant compare with over 6000 games already on the ds.
Backcatalog and something called backwards compatibility
Sony forgot what that was with the ps3 like the vita coulda had a huge back library but Sony chose to make money off resales
Thing is, people were buying the 3ds before the price cut. the price cut just made it more attactive as an alternative to the existing ds/dsi. Keep in mind that a 3ds is bc with ds games. You dont have that with the vita so it isnt seen as a replacement to an existing PSP.
Had sony give the vita direct UMD bc then we could look at it like that. But seeing as its all digital and not all of the digital psp games are available for it, it isnt as attractive to those who would get one to use in place of a psp while waiting for whatever vita specific title they are looking forward to.
At least a 3ds being able to play ds games opens the library of physical titles to a 3ds buyer. If money was no object then I say get both.
If you are looking at it from an existing library POV then it depends on the library. DS owners getting a 3ds is a logical choice.
PSP owners (UMD games) getting a vita isnt as logical but if a PSP owner (digital psp games) gets a vita and the games are available then by all means its a good choice.
Those are all based on the idea of playing older games on newer units. I know not all of us do that but it is a nice convenience. If it was just about new games then its more about the appeal of those games and franchises that cater to the individual. That could go either way.
Sony forgot one nifty idea:
"UMD external player" accessory.
Snaps onto the back of the VITA.
I guess it's a personal choice. For me, the Vita has enough of the type of games I'm into and I really dig the technology it is sporting... Haven't regretted the purchase at all, especially now that PS+ is supporting it. But some folks may dig 3D or be into the Nintendo 1st oarty games.
Going into the Vita purchase, I also had a number of solid PSP/PSN titles that were compatible for it that I had already purchased for my PSP, so the backward compatibility was a big win for me and the fact that you can map the dual sticks really opened up some of those old PSP titles, but some folks may not really see that as a big deal at all if they didn't have a PSP already that they had pruchased online content for...
Buy what you like... If you have enough dough, buy both! I would like to see dedicated handheld gaming live on in some form!
^^ This.
I feel completely the same way about my Vita and if you prefer Nintendo's games more then get the 3DS. I hope both handhelds do well because the competition is good and they both offer something different.
It's a matter of preference...can't make someone eat grapes if they like apples! Buy what you like and as long as what it has to offer makes you happy then that the one for you!!!!
I have a Vita and I love it, but I stopped buying games for it a while ago, they can **** off with the prices, how the hell do they justify charging me £40 for a hand held game?
Don't really know why anyone would disagree with what you've just said.
They're £40 yet they're vastly inferior to £40 games on consoles? At least with the PSP the games for it were around £27
Nintendo sell their 3DS games at £40 and the majority of them have half the content that the PSVita games do. At least the Vita games are closer to console quality.
yea they will follow in Nintendo 3DS selling/marketing strategy. its been a carbon cut copy
and even at the 3DS's old price point it was doin better than the vita. it got shit cause it wasnt keepin up with the DS's original pace.
vita is my best laugh when it comes to sony. check the comments from 1-2 years ago and see how much everything I said came true.
I have both. Both has promising titles. The 3DS has games like Pokemon and Luigi's Mansion. The PS Vita has games like Tearaway and Killzone Mercenaries. Device wise, go with the PS Vita.
In comparison; The 3DS has a few functions that it's predecessor, the DSi had. The DSi had features like a alarm clock and better features with the camera. But the 3DS makes up for that with the Mii apps and the ability to take 3D photos.
PS Vita has so many free apps and superior tech than the 3DS. The only thing the 3DS has better when it comes to functionality is that it can produce 3D graphics.
I would choose the PS Vita over the 3DS.
I also have both. Vita is a better device, but a device doesn't play itself, it needs games. And I play much more with my 3DS. I'm trying to finish Persona 4 Golden on Vita, but I really don't know what else I'll play on it when I finish Persona.
...wait, the DSi has an alarm clock?
And I'm serious in this question.
Yes, it does. I actually used the DS Lite alarm clock to wake me up for work. I am a bit bummed the 3DS doesn't include one. I guess my phone will do.
lol yes!
So does Vita, btw, free app just launched today in EU, was already out in Japan and not sure about US. It's cool too, looks pretty and has nicer sounds than most insta-headache alarms :)
Vita if u want some new 3rd party games to play now & in the future.. 3DS if u like nintendos 1st party games..We have yet to see smash bros, wario land, etc make an appearance but I dont know of a single nintendo system that releases sequels in the same generation besides mario platformers.. Mario kart already released as well as mario land, mario bros, etc.. So its already peaked while vita has much more to give other than whats available.. In conjunction with PS Plus, vita is an incredible value & gaming machine to own
"So its already peaked "
your fanboism is showing.
as far as nintendo handhelds, they have a HUGE third party support compared to their consoles, and the gbc, gba and ds are shining examples of that.

super smash bros 4.
yeah its "peaked" alright.....
@Dark-hollow You just named mario, pokemon and japanese titles! The only game I might want to play on that list is monster hunter. killzone mercenary on the other hand is one game that makes me really want a vita
I prefer the 3DS simply because it has a more varied, extensive and attractive game library. And at the end of the day, you buy a handheld mainly for that, games.
I don't know about you, but games like Kid Icarus, DoA Dimensions, Code of Princess, Fire Emblem and a few downloadable ones like Sakura Samurai, Crimson Shroud, Mighty Switch Force, Gunman Clive (with physical controls!), Liberation Maiden and others have been enough for me, not to mention stuff like Soul Hackers, Etrian Odyssey, SMT4, Monster Hunter 3 and more are coming out later.
I need to find this "extensive and attractive game library". I own Mario 3D Land, Street Fighter and Zelda OOT. Nothing else on the system other than Resident Evil stands out to me. It seems all the games I wanted to succeed have generated generally negative responses. Kingdom Hearts, Paper Mario and Mario Bro's 2 have all generated a less than satisfying buzz for me than previously expected.
I can't say the PS Vita is much better. I don't own one, but there are more than 3 games I wish to play on the system so its a start.
Why are you getting so many disagrees! You speak the truth! Seems that anyone saying anything agains the 3ds will ultimatly get disagrees. Listen I played nintendo first party games when I was 10 years old thats the market the games are aimed at.
GametimeUK is right, I've had a 3DS at launch, waited god knows how long for ANY worthwhile games, picked up zelda, mario 3d land, mario kart, kid icarus and more. The games are so short its unbelievable the price they sell for. The games are below average apart from kid icarus and zelda. 3dland was like 6 hours long to get all the star coins etc, mario kart wasn't even as good as the previous DS version. No online play for star-fox.
It seemed to me nintendo just rushed out big names to get the damn thing to sell, the usual fanboys lap up the substandard quality whilst i'm left feeling ripped off.
A couple of weeks ago I sold around 15 3DS games and I'm left with the only game worth keeping, Ocorina of time, pretty much just for the nostalgia.
My PSvita on the other hand, has around 18 games and I have trouble picking what to play, I've platinumed 2 of them and that took me a good 40 hours for each. Much more value for money, and much more enjoyable.
I already made my choice and bought a vita at launch. Games like Lbp vita, Uc Abyss, MvsCap., Unit 13, and others really put the competition to shame and show how vita is in another league.
Games like Kz merc, tearaway, Soul Sacrifice, etc.... are just icing on the cake.
I chose the Vita, because it was right for me. Some of my friends chose the 3DS, and most people I know chose neither.
Same here i choose the Vita because it had the games that i was interested in. The only game that i really wanted to play from the 3DS was Revelations but since its coming to the PS3 i dont need to buy Nintendos handheld in order to play it.
This is tough. I think at this point the 3DS is a better buy, however the Vita is close. With some more games, a price cut, and extension of existing features I would say it could take a lead.
Give me more disagrees :D.
There's a reason for the disagrees.
1. You can find great deals on the PS Vita for $200 or less which is an amazing price for the handheld.
2. Vita has plenty of games, some that you probably will not like but there's at least a few to spark anyone's interest.
3. The PS Vita has a good number of features because of it's apps, I use it as a alarm clock, can watch youtube, skype, FB able and I think Netflix too so it's only going to get better.
vita hands down
age 2 - 12 3ds
3ds graphics are better than the vita graphics. 3D proves it.
Best "lmao" of the day, I had so far!!!...
But no, I disagree with your opinion for obvious reasons.
yeah enjoy your headaches in 3D @ 240p while i enjoy full blown 1080P movies on my PSVita's OLED screen.
"age 2 - 12 3ds"
lol hahahah i just love it "the worst"
Eh depends, For some people 3D isnt a big deal, After 5 minutes of gaming on the 3DS i lost interest in the 3D feature even at max depth. And the Vita may not have as big of a library as the 3DS, and people seem to think of this as "has no games at all". The Vita does have more good games than you could probably buy without a full time job, so its pretty much a non issue.
3DS since it actually has more than 1 good game
Persona 4 Golden
Gravity Rush
Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Jet Set Radio
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift
Rayman origins
Street Fighter X Tekken
Touch My Katamari
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

Wipeout 2048
MGS2 and 3 HD
your argument is invalid.
Nothing in that list appeals to me so from my perspective your argument is invalid. I'm not saying that the games you listed are bad I'm just saying they don't appeal to me.
^^Cool story, thanks for sharing your "common sense" with us, we are all now enlightened lol
Since we're sharing meaningless opinions, here's one; nothing in your comment appeals to me, rendering it also invalid :P
Personally, I quite liked the 3DS at first, but after playing a friend's Vita I gave mine to my nephew for his birthday and bought my own Vita, which I prefer. I find it more comfortable to play and like the controls. Also the games feel more like what I play at home, which is a plus for me.
right now? 3DS. But when soul sacrifice and Killzone is released. PS VITA hands down!
Whichever one has the games you want of course.
I thought this was the first thing we thought about when buying new consoles.
The thing that worries me about the Vita (aside from the price) is that it is seriously lacking in 3rd party support, and some of the support it is getting is rather lackluster like the Call Of Duty games that I had high hopes for.
If there were a price drop and it looked like third party companies were going to support it well in the future, I'd buy one. As it is, I have a 3DS and I enjoy it very much, I'd love a Vita too, but the price and lack of third party support are troubling. I still have my PSP though, which suits a lot of my handheld gaming needs.
Question shouldn't even be posed at this point. Vita's been doa since its release, with no signs of improving any time soon. Just calling a spade a spade.
3DS' problem is Nintendo has not appealed to the tastes of the western demographic. Japan it is very healthy, but outside of Japan its mediocre.
In terms of the better handheld..in what way? Game Gear was technically superior to Gameboy, didn't save the Game Gear from becoming a forgotten handheld. Same for Vita, better tech than 3DS, but that's about it.
there are lack of games for 3DS outside of Japan, in case of so called western demographics tastes, if 2nd bestselling game on Vita is absolute garbage known as CoD: Declassified then I'm actually glad it has no appeal for this kind of humanity, the day Nintendo chose this path with their systems, better let them died.
Nethier. Saving money for a lot of ps3 games coming out.
One cannot Play Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2+ on the go w/ a DS.
I was going to get a Vita but since ATLUS seems to have become Nintendo pal i will go to the 3DS, something tells me P5 and following SMT games will go there sorry Sony :(
Well SMT4 is already on lock for 3DS but I think the P5 will either be a Vita or PS3 title. I'm excited as hell for them both though, haven't had a mainline SMT game since Nocturne for the PS2 and the Persona games are amazing. Not to mention I'm very excited to see what SMT x Fire Emblem is gonna be like.
Well yeah but ATLUS always goes were the money is, maybe is just me but that Persona tittle hold for 3DS could be P5 considering ATLUS pairing with Nintendo.
Im escited for SMT 4 and the crossover too.
Both., So I can play it all. The Ultimate Handheld gaming experience.
i bought first the vita and some months later a 3dsxl love both but Vita is my favourite :)
1.) We buy these for games
2.) Which has more / better quality games ?
Vita will be worth purchasing in 2014 once more games are out and the price is dropped by at least $50.
I own a 3ds, but as a gamer I would like both. I also own a wii u and am looking forward to ps4. Sony + Nintendo = fulfilling all my gaming needs. I will pick up a vita after a price cut

Trump's Birtherism Follows In WorldNetDaily's Footsteps
If Donald Trump's litany of discredited birther claims sounds a bit familiar, that's because they are: The right-wing website WorldNetDaily has been pushing this stuff for years. Indeed, some of the biggest -- and most inaccurate -- birther claims Trump has made have also been promoted at WND.
For instance, Trump has claimed that Obama has "spent over $2 million in legal fees to keep this [birther issue] quiet and to keep this silent." Salon's Justin Elliott reported [1] that WND has repeatedly [2] made this claim, but the only evidence WND has offered to back it up is that the Obama campaign paid $1.7 million in fees to the law firm Perkins Coie between October 2008 and October 2009. WND is assuming that all of that money went to fighting birther lawsuits; in fact, Democratic National Committee national press secretary Hari Sevugan has stated [3] that the money spent by the Obama campaign on post-election legal fees are " ordinary legal expenses related to the wind-down of its operations and other legal services which all campaigns incur and which are proportional to the unprecedented size of this campaign."
Trump has also said, "The grandmother in Kenya is on record saying [Obama] was born in Kenya." PolitiFact rated [4] Trump's claim "false" and noted that it relies on selectively edited audio of an interview with Obama's grandmother conducted with Anabaptist minister Ron McRae, which it called "a very rough translation in which an elderly woman agreed to the leading question that Obama was born in Kenya and that she was present. But it was immediately and clearly corrected -- repeatedly." PolitiFact also talked to WorldNetDaily writer (and discredited Obama-basher [5]) Jerome Corsi, who said that he has spoken to Trump about the claim:
In a brief telephone interview with PolitiFact, Corsi said he has spoken to Trump and that the statement about Obama's grandmother was, in fact, based on her taped conversation with McRae. Corsi pointed us toward an article [6] he wrote for the conservative WorldNetDaily, in which he says that he spoke to two unnamed Kenyans familiar with Sarah Obama's dialect, and that they claimed she was clear in saying that she witnessed Obama's birth in Kenya. Futhermore, Corsi said they told him it appeared her later efforts to recant appeared to be heavily coached by those around her.
(In a letter [7] to PolitiFact, McRae stood by his claim that the grandmother said that Obama was born in Kenya. He also wrote that "I have copies of Barack Obama's Kenyan birth certificate" and that "I do not consider him president, would not give any allegiance to him or demonstrate any regard for him or any document he signs, until he is man enough to step forward and prove his grandmother a liar.")
Both Trump and WND have insisted that the birth certificate Obama's campaign released during the 2008 campaign is insufficient proof of his birth. Trump has claimed that the certificate was never signed and has no serial number (wrong on both counts [8]), while WND has promoted [9] a claim that the certificate is "criminally fraudulent" and WND editor Joseph Farah [10] suggested that it can't be used to obtain a passport. In fact, FactCheck.org points out [8] that the Obama certificate meets State Department standards for establishing citizenship.
Trump [11] and WND [12] also have promoted alleged ambiguities over which Honolulu hospital Obama was born in. But FactCheck.org says [8] Obama has stated which hospital it is, it has found "zero evidence of such a family disagreement" over the issue, and federal privacy laws prevent the hospital from releasing birth records.
WND, needless to say, is ecstatic about Trump's birtherism. Farah writes [13] in his column today that "I am eternally grateful to him for standing up boldly and demanding to see Barack Obama's birth certificate, as I have been doing for the last two and a half years," adding that Trump is "doing God's work here."
Is being repeatedly discredited [8] on birther claims really "God's work"? Apparently so, in Farah's eyes. But then, Farah has admitted [14] to publishing "some misinformation" on his website, so WND may not be the most credible source for Trump to be taking his cues from, as he seems to be doing.

Here's CCL's Clemson Turregano, who has facilitated "leadership at the movies" sessions for years:
"I started using movies when I was teaching at West Point and then at the Naval War College," he notes. "Movies, like a case study, offer real-life portrayals of examples of leadership in crisis. Viewers can use these portrayals to discuss the behaviors they would like to emulate or avoid during similar circumstances."
I've had teams watch full movies as an evening activity at an off-site, and have used short clips during training sessions or team development workshops. The introduction of YouTube now provides us with a searchable library of leadership content on any topic.

The most common challenges are
How can a genealogist confirm that a relative served in the
American Revolution?
If you suspect your ancestor served in the American Revolution,
you must first determine the possible town (or state) from which
he may have served. If a Revolutionary War record exists for your
ancestor, it will be filed under the state of service. Next, you
should examine record collections specific to the Revolutionary
War. Some of these
What are some great resources for researching Colonial-era and
early Americans?
Because 17th-century New Englanders are one of the most-studied
ancestry groups, a multitude of resources are available at NEHGS
and beyond. My top 10 include:
Where can people trace immigrants who arrived before 1820,
when federally mandated passenger lists of arriving ships begin?
Passenger lists as we know them today were a result of the Act of
March 2, 1819, which required passenger lists for ships from
foreign ports. These records often provide the name of the
immigrant, age, country of origin, and ship name.
Passenger records prior to 1819 rarely survived, and failed to
provide such specific information. Alternative records for 17th-
and 18th-century immigrant ancestors include loyalty oaths, new
settlement charters, and published passenger lists, which can
provide an exact year of immigration. Other records, such as
freeman records or town meeting minutes, provide an approximate
immigration year. Sometimes an estimated year is the closest a
researcher will come to locating information about an ancestor's
arrival in Colonial America.
In addition to the Great Migration series mentioned above, some
popular published immigration resources (and alterative resources)
What substitute sources can help with missing censuses and
those head-of-household-only pre-1850 census records?
Several record collections can be used to identify members of a
family. Commonly, researchers in New England use vital record
collections in Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New
Hampshire, and Rhode Island to identify the children of a
particular mother and father.
When vital records are unavailable, as is often the case with New
York, Mid-Atlantic and Southern states, probate records, land
deeds, court records, pension files, and city directories may
provide more specific information about a family dynamic. For
example, a probated will may identify the name of the deceased's
spouse, children, and (sometimes) grandchildren.
To locate these alterative records, you could examine the probate
and deed record collections available (browseable only) at FamilySearch.org (go
here and filter by state), or the American Revolutionary War
and the War of 1812 pension records at Fold3. Also try
Ancestry.com's US City Directories, 1821-1989 database.

RIALTO -- Two veteran City Council members vying for the mayor's seat joined six council candidates, including an incumbent seeking his second term, at a forum on Thursday night at the downtown Woman's Club.
About 40 people listened as council members Ed Scott and Deborah Robertson each gave their reasons why they should fill outgoing Mayor Grace Vargas' seat.
Between opening and closing statements, the candidates fielded written questions from the audience.
Topics ranged from the controversial utility-users tax to how elected leaders will govern a city facing 19 percent unemployment, scaled-back services and anemic economic growth.
There was a lot of talk among candidates about their love for the city, but not much in the way of specific policies that the candidates would pursue.
One thing for certain: Don't expect the candidates to fight the utility-users tax, which sunsets in June, unless voters re-approve it.
According to City Administrator Mike Story, the General Fund will lose $11 million, or 22.8 percent, in revenue annually, if the tax goes away.
"We have to support the utility-users tax," said Shawn O'Connell, a council candidate who is a retired police sergeant.
O'Connell and incumbent Ed Palmer are among six candidates for the council. Voters this year will elect two council members.
The other candidates are Joe Britt, a businessman; June Hayes, a businesswoman; Sam Syed, a production supervisor; Rafael Trujillo, a congressional aide.
Scott and Robertson expressed respect for one another and their work on the council dais during a forum that was cordial and without the political and personal jabs that typically mark campaign seasons.
Robertson said she has gone against council majorities when she thought her colleagues were moving in the wrong direction. That includes her opposition to enhanced pensions for public safety personnel.
Continued belt-tightening is what is needed to move the city through difficult financial times, Robertson said.
"I think it's important that we as a city have to learn to live within our means," she said.
Scott cited his council experience, especially regarding his work with local, state and federal officials to clean up perchlorate contamination in the city's groundwater.
"In fact, yesterday I had the privilege of signing the very first settlement (with perchlorate polluters)," Scott said.
The council candidates agreed that helping small businesses succeed is key to growing the city again.
But their answers were short on specifics.
Britt said his experience as an entrepreneur and on the city Recreation and Parks Commission enables him to be a team player, and he will be an "advocate for small businesses.... I can help this team go forward."
Hayes, a veteran member of the the city Utility Commission, has been active in the city since 1977.
"We need businesses in this city," she said. "We need restaurants in this city. We need retail in this city. And unfortunately, although none of us like it, we need some more big businesses, perhaps some of those messy warehouses, because we need jobs and we need tax revenue."
Palmer, an attorney who owns businesses in the city, said the best way for government to help is to get out of the way.
Along those lines, O'Connell pledged to work to streamline fees and licensing requirements for all businesses, bring in employer job fairs, and assist businesses in learning about programs that could lead to tax breaks.
But Palmer said that among the council candidates touting the need to streamline business requirements, he has the experience on the dais to get it done, saying later in the forum that the city should be run "like a business."
Syed, also a utility commissioner, supports Measure V, a proposed business license tax increase on petroleum companies that operate in the city. Proponents say it will raise roughly $5 million in annual revenue.
"That's going to bring in revenue that's not going to come from the citizens of Rialto but from the big oil companies that have been using Rialto's land but not (paying their taxes)," he said.
As a congressional aide to Rep. Joe Baca, D-San Bernardino, Rafael Trujillo, who also is on the Recreation and Parks Commission, said his experience will help him as a councilman.
Public safety and government transparency are top priorities, he said. Trujillo said the health-care industry will continue to grow in the region and the city should work with the school district and hospitals to train students for the medical field.
"I want to make sure we partner with Rialto Unified School District so that we can create a doctors academy at one of our high schools...." Trujillo said.

No, he isn't setting fires in the driveways of people, but there is still the weekend ahead of us, so plenty of time. Maybe being named to Lindsay Lohaan's sex list set this in motion. Ever since his name was attached to her sexually he has been on a downward spiral. He had the incident with the 17 year old the entire world got to see. It's interesting that he was going to get a room for them and not invite her back to his place. He then blasted a critic who didn't really care for Franco's new project Of Mice And Men on Broadway. Earlier this week he had other things to say about Lindsay Lohan when he told Howard Stern the pair only ever kissed and that he read her a story when he found her hovering over him in his hotel room at 3 in the morning. Yesterday he culminated his fateful month by posting a selfie to Instagram which he quickly deleted, but not before the entire world got to see him in almost all of his glory.

Sandy• Tanner Kirk wanted to die.
Two years ago, he tied a rope around his neck and tried to hang himself in his Utah home. At 13, he was minutes away from becoming another teen suicide statistic when a relative found him. He was rushed to the hospital and survived the episode, but not without a life-altering change: He's now confined to a wheelchair and able to speak through a computer-generated voice.
The 16-year-old from Cyprus High in Magna on Tuesday traveled to Sandy to speak to peers about what he wishes he would have known before he tried to end his life on Feb. 8, 2010. Today, he tries to look past the bleakness that enveloped him when he was suicidal in order to share a message that there is hope and helpfor teens who may feel alone like he did.
Rolling his wheelchair to the front of a crowd gathered at Jordan High School, Kirk punched his computer board as an older, modulated voice echoed over the PA system. He suffers from dystonia, a result of coming out of a three-month coma, that causes his body to twist in repetitive movements beyond his control.
Kirk's brain functions on the same level as his peers, his IQ is normal, but his body seems to belong to someone else. His life has never been the same since his suicide attempt.
"I am trapped in hell," Kirk told some 300 Jordan High teens. "I can't tell you why I put the rope around my neck."
"Ask for help, do not make my mistake," he said.
Suicide-prevention expert Taryn Aiken said Jordan High is the first Utah school to host an assembly with a speaker like Kirk. The boy's talk hit close to home for students at Jordan High, who said goodbye to a classmate who died as a result of suicide last year. The topic has also gleaned new attention in the wake of the death of David Phan, a 14-year-old student at Bennion Junior High in Taylorsville who shot himself at school two weeks ago.
Utah teens commit suicide more often than their peers in other parts of the nation. Two youths are treated for suicide attempts every day in Utah, according to a 2011 report by the Utah Department of Health.
Health officials have said all suicide attempts should be taken seriously. In 2011, Utah high school students reported that: 26 percent felt sad/hopeless; 14 percent had seriously considered attempting suicide; 12 percent made a suicide plan; 7 percent attempted suicide one or more times; and 3 percent had suffered an injury because of a suicide attempt that had to be treated by seeking medical help.
Aiken, chair of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Utah Chapter, attempted suicide as a teen. She said it's time for educators and students to talk candidly about the subject. She cited a statistic that 19 Utah teens killed themselves in 2011, but noted that those were the cases reported. Many suicides may not be reported because of a stigma associated with taking one's own life, Aiken said.
She told students that when Kirk first tried to tell his junior high peers about his experience, a school administrator denied the request because it would "glamorize" suicide.
"It's OK to seek help," Aiken told the Jordan High teens.
She encouraged students to be aware of behavior exhibited by their friends that could be signs of considering suicide. An untreated mental illness, expressions of hopelessness, substance abuse, self-harming activities such as cutting and browsing the Internet for ideas on how to die are all alarming signals, she said.
Jordan High senior Ashley Knudson said her best friend attempted suicide.
"We want to make this issue important on our campus and at others," said Knudson, who chairs the school's suicide prevention committee. "I was 16 and I didn't know what to do. I couldn't imagine what was going on with her."
These days she has a better perspective, she said. She hopes her Jordan High friends will think about their actions and how permanent they can be an example also explicitly set by Kirk from his wheelchair on Tuesday.
"It's a mistake I can never take back," Kirk, who once played football, told the Jordan High audience.

•Checking into Salt Lake Behavioral Health, 3802A South, 700 East, which offers mental health evaluations. 801-264-6000

Katy Perry first to 50 million Twitter followers
Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio
Katy Perry is the first star to reach 50 million Twitter followers.
The singer reached the milestone over the weekend, and can currently tweet to a staggering 50.1 million fans.
Perry marked the occasion by writing:
Oh yeah AND we grew to 50 million Katycats! Eh, regular day at the office. 🙌
— Katy Perry (@katyperry) February 1, 2014
As it happens, Perry's boyfriend John Mayer just rejoined Twitter after a couple of years' absence — even giving Perry a "Follow Friday" boost.
I'm back. What'd I miss?
— John Mayer (@JohnMayer) January 31, 2014
Been waiting SO long to share this with you. It's so bad it's good. Take a look. http://t.co/nBQAvVr1OR
— John Mayer (@JohnMayer) January 31, 2014
Also #FF @katyperry
— John Mayer (@JohnMayer) January 31, 2014
He's got a ways to go to match Perry's follower base.
Justin Bieber, with 49.3 million followers, should be the next social media sensation to pass the 50M milestone.

So it's finally here – the Android tablet that will break Apple's iron grip on the market and consign the iPad to history. Or at least that's what Google hopes. The Nexus 7 is an Asus-built, media consumption-focused 7in tablet with a quad-core Tegra 3 processor and 1280x800 screen, running the new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS.
Couple that impressive spec with a cheap-as-chips £160 price, and you can see why the Nexus has – at least on paper – overtaken the Amazon Kindle Fire as the tab most likely to topple the new iPad. So can it live up to the hype?
Design and build
As with all of Google's Nexus smartphones, build quality of the Nexus 7 is superb. Asus has done a great job of making this look and feel every bit as impressive as an Apple product.
The rubberised back is an attractive and sensible addition, meaning you can confidently hold the tablet in one hand without fear of dropping it – perfect for use on a standing room-only train.
The number of buttons has also been kept to a minimum, and even the speaker placement is smart, giving the Nexus 7 a loud, clear sound for its size. It's the ideal form factor for a tablet you can easily use when you're out and about, with none of the wind-catching unwieldiness of larger, iPad-shaped designs.
While it lacks the eye-caressing wow factor of the new iPad's Retina Display screen, the Nexus 7 has a decent 7in IPS display with a 1280x800 resolution. That's considerably crisper than the Amazon Kindle Fire's 1024x600 effort, greater than the 1280x720 on high-end smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X, and equates to a none-too-shabby 216ppi. Not quite up there with the new iPad's 264ppi, but certainly good enough for a few hours' reading without eye strain.
HD movies look superb on the Nexus 7's screen, with rich, vibrant colours, although it can look a little washed out with still images – something that's particularly noticeable in menus and apps, and no doubt a by-product of the dramatically low price tag.
OS and interface
Android 4.1, or Jelly Bean if you prefer, is a big improvement on 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). We had to update our Nexus 7 test device to the new OS manually – a simple process once you've registered for an account on Google's Play Store – but retail versions of the tablet should come with it preinstalled. Particularly impressive are the new gestures – to delete something, for instance, you simply flick it off screen.
Jelly Bean's interface remains largely the same as ICS, but many of the bugs have been ironed out, and general navigation and app launching feel a little slicker and more polished than before. That might have a lot to do with Google's Project Butter, a processing framework built into the new OS specifically to get rid of device lag. We think calling it Project Hot Lard or Project WD40 would have been a bit more imaginative. In any case, Google's finally bringing Android up to iOS levels of slickness.
Google has overhauled many of its default apps for the Nexus 7, and they look great. YouTube, in particular, is a thrilling graphical experience, while a tablet-optimised Gmail makes better use of the available screen space.
One of the most impressive new features is called Google Now – a scarily clever attempt to bring together all of Google's knowledge about you. It takes the form of 'cards' which show you information based on your location. For instance, stand at a bus stop, and it will display the next arriving bus. Use Google's Maps Navigation sat-nav software, and it will show you how long it will take to get home, taking into account traffic. Or it can combine your diary, location and travel info to warn you that you're going to be late for an appointment.
Google Now can even keep you updated on the score in major sporting fixtures, although it seemed to struggle to display Cardiff City fixtures, so obviously some big names have been left out. Google reckons it can work out which team you support from which searches you have made. As we said, scarily clever stuff.
Outside of Google's own apps, though, it's a disappointingly familiar story. You do of course get access to the whole of the Google Play app store (unlike on the Kindle Fire), but Android still trails far behind iOS in both quantity and quality of tablet apps, and very few take advantage of either the Nexus 7's quad-core processor or the new Jelly Bean OS.
The Nexus 7 is incredibly snappy in use, with the quad-core processor and Project Butter combining to make lag a thing of the past. You won't have any problem watching HD video either, with the 12 GPU cores inside it ensuring there's never any stuttering or slow-down – even when beamed to a TV through Google's new Nexus Q gadget.
The latest generation of tablet-optimised games also look excellent on the Nexus 7's HD screen – not quite as detail-rich as the latest iPad titles, but definitely the best we've seen on any other tablet, and a lot crisper than they look on the likes of Asus' Transformer Prime thanks to the more closely-packed pixels. Plus, all of the most powerful titles can be found in one place with a simple tap on Nvidia's Tegra Zone app.
With a choice of 8 or 16GB, the Nexus 7 isn't blessed with vast storage, but thanks to Google's Play service, that's not as big a problem as it might seem. Anything bought via the Google Play Store, including films and other space-hungry files such as games, can easily be stored on and re-downloaded from Google's servers.
Admittedly, 8GB does limit you to a couple of HD films and a few albums – but for all but the longest of flights that should be enough to last you until you next get network access. The integration of Google's cloud-based Drive will also help boost its storage space when you can get on Wi-Fi.
Battery life
Google quotes eight hours of 'normal' use and nine hours of video playback, and these figures seemed to tally with what we found – you certainly won't need to recharge midway through most flights. However, do be warned that existing USB chargers are unlikely to work (the Nexus 7 is too power-hungry for that), so you'll need to use the one supplied with the Nexus 7.
Possibly the biggest drawback to the Nexus 7 is that it's Wi-Fi only – there's no 3G or 4G even as an option, although you do get Bluetooth, GPS, accelerometers, a magnetometer and NFC for contact-free content sharing and payments. Download everything you need for the day before leaving the house and you'll survive, and at least the Wi-Fi antenna is strong – we were able to connect without issue at home and in cafes alike, even with weak signals that the Galaxy Nexus phone struggled to capture.

Beck renews witch hunt: Sunstein has "more power than the Fed," "will control your every move"
Glenn Beck devoted much of his May 26 show to renewing his attacks against Obama administration official Cass Sunstein. Beck claimed that Sunstein is "the man who controls everything", "a geek" who has "more power than the Fed" and with the passage of financial reform would "control your every move."
Beck fearmongers: Sunstein has "more power than the Fed," "controls everything"
Beck called Sunstein "the man who controls everything." Beck said that as White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) administrator, Sunstein "is the man that controls everything through nudges. He'll just nudge you. He'll never tell you what to do, he nudges." Beck then compared him to the director character in the movie The Truman Show [1], who gave the protagonist Truman the illusion of choice while controlling the world around him. Beck said Sunstein advocates a similar policy in his book Nudge [2], and that Sunstein has "wanted the job in the control room his whole life."
Beck: Sunstein is a "geek." Recounting a story [3] in which Sunstein indicated to his date that he'd like to work at OIRA, Beck said that made Sunstein a "geek." From the May 16 New York Times Magazine article Beck cited:
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Sunstein went to Iowa on Obama's behalf with his friend Austan Goolsbee, now a member of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, and Goolsbee's friend from college Samantha Power. Sunstein got in such an involved conversation with a voter that he left Goolsbee and Power outside, shivering in the snow. The three joked that, between their three sprawling areas of expertise, they had almost any potential question about Obama covered. They failed at the first door, when a voter wanted to know the location of the nearest caucus.
Sunstein and Power, who is 39, soon went on a date, and she asked him if he ever fantasized about doing anything else. "I expected him to say he dreamed of playing for the Red Sox," she told me. "His eyes got real big and he said: 'Ooh! OIRA!' "
Beck claims Sunstein's job gives him "more power than the Fed." Beck said that a "geek" would want to head OIRA because "only geeks know what this job really is," and that Sunstein wanted his job at OIRA because "[a]ny geek who knows history knows why you say 'ooh.' It's one of the most powerful jobs in the world. You're looking at more power than the Fed."
Beck: "Government control" of 60 percent of economy will allow Sunstein to "control your every move." Beck claimed that if the financial reform bill [4] passes Congress, it will put 60 percent of the economy under "government control," and that as a result Sunstein "will control your every move." Beck has previously noted [5] that he believes that the financial reform bill is "the beginning of financial global regulation" which will eventually lead to "global government."
Beck: Sunstein "taking a page" from "playbook" of "evil" "S.O.B." Woodrow Wilson. Beck argued [6] that Sunstein was "taking a page" from Woodrow Wilson's playbook (who he called "evil" and an "S.O.B.") by using tactics to "discredit," "eliminate," and "infiltrate" outside, dissenting voices. In Beck's incomplete version [7] of the historical record, President Wilson engineered America's entry into World War I.
Beck implored viewers "in the Capitol" to listen to him about Sunstein, repeats "most dangerous man" attack. Beck reiterated [8] his warning that Sunstein is "the most dangerous man in America." Then he asked viewers that if they were "watching in the Capitol" that they should "please, please" listen to his program because "I don't think you have done your homework. I have." Beck added that Sunstein represents "history you do not want to repeat."
Beck linked Sunstein, Media Matters to WWI, WWII government propaganda. Beck said [9] that President Obama appointing Sunstein to OIRA was reminiscent of Woodrow Wilson's Committee on Public Information [10] and Franklin Roosevelt's Office of War Information [11] --both wartime government-run propaganda offices -- but that instead Obama had Sunstein and "Media Matters and Center for American Progress and MSNBC and The Huffington Post and -- where else? The New York Times. I could go on."
Beck previously called Sunstein "the most evil man" in America, compared his office to "Reichstag"
Beck falsely claimed Sunstein has been "pushing for the Second Bill of Rights." On January 11, Beck claimed [12] that Sunstein "tried to resurrect" Roosevelt's "Second Bill of Rights," and that he was "pushing" for it. In fact, Sunstein explained [13] that FDR didn't want to change the text of the Constitution, and that Sunstein was "nervous" about such changes.
From the September 8, 2004, edition of the public TV program The Open Mind:
SUNSTEIN: If, if we are excited about judicial protection of individual rights, then we might want the Second Bill of Rights in our Constitution. I, myself, am nervous about that, because I'm nervous about the judges. I'd much prefer that we recover this aspect of our history, that we understand that this is what we've been about, rather than the post-Reagan blunder of thinking America is opposed to government intervention. Which is a ridiculous and false characterization of our history.
Beck called Sunstein "the most evil man, the most dangerous man in America." On March 18, Beck referred [14] to Sunstein as "the most evil man, the most dangerous man in America" while discussing Sunstein's book on FDR and the false claim that Sunstein favored a second bill of rights. Beck previously described [15] Sunstein's beliefs as "awfully Nazi."
Beck claimed Sunstein's office at OIRA was "a new role" and compared it to the "Reichstag." On May 17 Beck said, [16] "He holds the office -- the White House office of information. Jawohl. Is that a new role, do we know?" Beck continued, "The office of information -- that doesn't sound too Reichstag, here, does it?" In fact, OIRA was formed [17] in 1980 under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980.
OIRA is not a propaganda office
OIRA reviews federal regulations, aims to reduce paperwork. From the OIRA's website [18]:
The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) is located within the Office of Management and Budget and was created by Congress with the enactment of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (PRA). OIRA carries out several important functions, including reducing paperwork burdens, reviewing Federal regulations, and overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs.
Please see www.reginfo.gov [19], which is a public website disclosing information about OIRA's review of draft regulations under Executive Order 12866. This dashboard graphically presents information about rules under OIRA review through an easy-to-use interactive display and allows the public to sort rules by agency, length of review, state of rulemaking, and economic significance.
Conservatives have repeatedly praised Sunstein
Instapundit's Reynolds: Sunstein is "an honest, decent and very smart guy who wants to help the country." In a May 1, 2009, post [20], conservative blogger and University of Tennessee law professor [21] Glenn Reynolds wrote of Sunstein's nomination to serve as the head of OIRA:
I've known Sunstein for a while -- in fact, my first introduction to Barack Obama was when he guest-blogged [22] for me -- and while he and I disagree on plenty, I think he's an honest, decent and very smart guy [23] who wants to help the country. Since I'm not going to get someone who agrees with me about everything from the Obama Administration (heck, I didn't get that from the Bush Administration) that ought to be enough, and I think that efforts to block his appointment are both unfair and not very smart. If they succeed, he'll be replaced by someone whose views are probably farther to the left (or at least more partisan and pliable), and who will almost certainly be less admirable and honest.
Volokh: "Sunstein is brilliant, thoughtful." In a January 8, 2009, post [24] headlined "Volokh Conspiracy Guest-Blogger Nominated to High Government Office," libertarian law professor Eugene Volokh wrote:
Well, OK, his guest-blogging isn't what he's famous for, but allow me to be parochial here, and point to Cass Sunstein's posts [25] from last year. I agree with Todd Zywicki [26] that Sunstein is an excellent choice. Sunstein is brilliant, thoughtful, and ideologically probably as good as libertarianish/conservativish people like me can hope for from the new administration.
WSJ editorial board: Sunstein "brings important qualifications"; Obama "has made a savvy choice." In a January 10, 2009, editorial [27], the Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote:
We still don't know much about how Barack Obama plans to overhaul our financial regulatory system, but his reported appointment of Cass Sunstein to an important post is a promising sign.
Mr. Sunstein, a professor at Harvard Law School, is no conservative -- far from it. But his writings on regulation and the herd mentality deserve a voice in the incoming Administration. From his new post as Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs inside the White House, he would have an opportunity to put into practice some of the ideas he has written about as an academic.
Odds are that you've never heard of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, but it plays a central role within the executive branch in vetting regulatory proposals. Mr. Sunstein brings important qualifications to that role, and Mr. Obama has made a savvy choice in putting him there.
Former Bush Solicitor General Olson: "I respect him enormously." In a September 11, 2009, post, FrumForum.com writer Tim Mak reported [28] that former Bush administration Solicitor General Ted Olson [29] said of Sunstein:
"Cass is one of the most brilliant, creative and productive lawyers I have ever known, and a true gentleman. I respect him enormously."
Former AEI president DeMuth: "[I]t is a shame that his appointment as President Obama's regulatory chief has been delayed for so long." Mak also reported [28] in his September 11, 2009, post:
One of the conservative experts on regulation who knows Sunstein best is past American Enterprise Institute President Christopher Demuth. In an email to NewMajority, DeMuth wrote in praise of the Sunstein selection: "[Sunstein] has publicly and privately supported the most high-profile conservative judicial nominees in recent years, and it is a shame that his appointment as President Obama's regulatory chief has been delayed for so long."
Beck, Fox News have long engaged in witch hunts against Obama officials
Sunstein just one of many Beck, Fox targets. Fox News personalities, including Beck, have been leading [30] the charge [31] against Sunstein and other Obama administration officials and nominees they have described as "czars" -- often by unearthing and criticizing statements the officials had made in the past rather than critiquing their job performance or credentials for those positions. Beck urged [32] his followers in a September 2009 Twitter post to "[f]ind everything you can on Cass Sunstein, Mark Lloyd, and Carol Browner." Beck recently targeted [33] another official, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services nominee Donald Berwick, by distorting [34] his comments.

Thanks to J-Sho for this easy to read version of the rules.
Very good stuff. Saw this on EFN Sports BJJ Forum. Would be good if all U.K BJJ orientated competitions apply these rules and weight classes.
I thought leglocks were legal as soon as you reach your purple. I also thought you were allowed heel hooks when you were a purple too.
I suppose these are the type of submissions that can end a carreer or even fuck up your job if damaged you're too much.
Good Post.
These rules are in place at every single UK BJJ competition and have been for a long time.
The competitions that these rules are not in place at are No Gi comps and
'groundfighting' comps.
Any comp with 'BJJ' in the title will be using these rules.

Story and photo courtesy of Princeton Athletic Communications
PRINCETON, N.J. - Capping off an incredible year for the Princeton field hockey program, senior Katie Reinprecht was named the Honda Sports Award winner for field hockey, given annually to the nation's top field hockey player by the Collegiate Women Sports Award (CWSA). Monday's announcement marks the first-ever Honda Award winner in program history.
"I am extremely honored to be recognized amongst such an elite group of female athletes," said Reinprecht. "It has been a privilege to represent Princeton University and while accepting this honor as a personal accolade, I full-heartedly acknowledge my incredible teammates, family, and coaching staff for, undoubtedly, shaping me into the person and athlete I am today."
Reinprecht returned to the pitch after spending the 2011-12 year training fulltime with the U.S. Senior National Team and competing in the London Summer Olympics. Upon her return, she helped guide the Tigers to their eighth consecutive Ivy League title behind a perfect 7-0 conference record. The midfielder then played an integral role in Princeton capturing its first NCAA Championship in a 3-2 come-from-behind effort over top-ranked North Carolina and finish with a program-best 21-1 overall record.
A four-time All-America, All-Ivy and All-Region selection, Reinprecht concludes her career as a three-time Ivy League Player of the Year and the 2012 Longstreth/NFHCA Player of the Year and Mid-Atlantic Player of the Year.
In 2012, she dished a team-best 19 assists and scored nine goals for 37 points. Reinprecht averaged 0.90 assists per game, ranking second in the nation. She concludes her decorated career ranked second in career assists with 49, second in assists in a season with 19 and fourth in a career in points with 155.
"Katie is an Olympian, a four-time All-America and a National Champion. As is obvious from her accomplishments, she has all the qualities of an exemplary athlete: speed, quickness, endurance, power and grace," said head coach Kristen Holmes-Winn.
The CWSA presents the Honda Sports Award annually to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports. With this honor, Reinprecht becomes a finalist for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the 2013 Honda Cup. Reinprecht was chosen by a vote of coaches from 1,000 NCAA member schools. Finalists included Chelsea Armstrong (Northwestern), Megan Frazer (Maryland, 2011 Honda winner) and Paige Selenski (Virginia).
"I couldn't be more pleased for Katie, personally, the field hockey team and the athletics department. We are so lucky to have someone of Katie's stature represent us on the field, in the classroom and all aspects of Princeton life. She is a credit to her family, to her team and to this University. It is a great honor and I cannot think of anyone more deserving," said Gary Walters '67, The Ford Family Director of Athletics.
A three-time team captain, Reinprecht is a sociology major and will graduate in the Spring of 2012. She played on the field hockey team with both her sisters Sarah '09 and Julia '13 at Princeton.
The Collegiate Women Sports Awards has honored the nation's top NCAA women athletes for 37 years, recognizing not only superior athletic skills, but also leadership, academic excellence and eagerness to participate in community service. Honda has been a sponsor of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards for the past 27 years. Since commencing its sponsorship in 1986, Honda has provided more than $2.5 million in institutional grants to universities of the award winners and nominees to support women's athletics programs at the institutions. Previous Honda Cup winners include Brittney Griner, Ann Meyers Drysdae, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Mia Hamm, Lisa Fernandez, Misty May-Treanor, Courtney Kupets, Maya Moore and Candace Parker.
