What's New for 2014 MeSH
Three hundred four (304) new MeSH Headings were added in 2014. Forty-eight (48) MeSH Headings were either changed or deleted and replaced with more up-to-date terminology. Three new publication types have been introduced for 2014 MeSH:
- Dataset: This publication type is defined as "An organized collection of values stored permanently in a formalized manner suitable for communication, interpretation, or processing." This publication type will not be used in combination with any other publication type as it is not to be used for journal articles that contain or produce datasets as part of the publication (including Supplemental Materials). Rather, it will be used on citations to items that are stand-alone descriptions of the metadata of a particular dataset.
- Observational Study: The scope note defines this publication type as "A clinical study in which participants may receive diagnostic, therapeutic, or other types of interventions, but the investigator does not assign participants to specific interventions (as in an interventional study)." This publication type should not be confused with the MeSH Heading "Observation" which is used for a scientific method. There is a related new MeSH Heading "Observational Studies as Topic," which is used for general design, methodology, economies, etc. of observational studies.
- Pragmatic Clinical Trial: This publication type refers to "Randomized clinical trials that compare interventions in clinical settings and which look at a range of effectiveness outcomes and impacts." There is a related new MeSH Heading, "Pragmatic Clinical Trial as Topic," which is used for general design, methodology, economics, etc. of pragmatic clinical trials.
Additional details are available by consulting the 2014 online Introduction to MeSH and the NLM Technical Bulletin.

" But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing. It is everlasting life touching us as something more than a vague, recondite concept. The sound of a great name dies like an echo the splendor of fame fades into nothing but the grace of a fine spirit pervades the places through which it has passed, like the haunting loveliness of mignonette.

Wage and Overtime Class Action Lawsuits
The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) set the legal rules for wages and hours, including the minimum wage and overtime. If an employer violates employee rights under the FLSA, the employee can sue. Often, however, the employee's damages are relatively small: important to the employee, but perhaps not enough to interest a lawyer in taking the case or to be worth the time and trouble of pursuing without a lawyer. If a group of employees sue together, however, the math changes.
Collective Actions Under the FLSA
Under the FLSA, employees may bring a "collective action" against the employer, on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated employees. Other employees who want to join the lawsuit do so by "opting in" -- filing a form with the court, consenting to be represented in the lawsuit. Once the lawsuit is resolved, all employees who opted in are bound by the judgment, good or bad.
A collection action under the FLSA is different from other types of class actions brought under federal law. In a typical class action, employees who don't want to be part of the lawsuit have to "opt out," by affirmatively telling the court they don't want to be involved. Because the default is therefore that employees will be bound by the outcome of the case, Congress has made it more difficult to bring this type of class action (called "Rule 23" class actions because they are described in Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure). Employees in a Rule 23 class action have to meet a four-part test to move forward as a group, including proving that there are common issues of law and fact among the employees, and that the claims of the named employees are typical of the claims of the group. Many lawsuits don't get past these hurdles, and a class is never certified by the court.
In a collection action under the FLSA, the employees only have to prove that other employees are similarly situated. This is an easier standard to meet. Because those other employees can decide for themselves whether they want to join the suit, courts don't have to be as concerned about making sure their interests are represented.
Under the FLSA, employees could bring a collective action over issues such as:
- failure to pay the minimum wage
- failure to pay overtime
- failure to pay tips
- misclassification of employees as exempt from the overtime rules, when in fact those employees should have received overtime
- failure to pay employees for all hours worked by, for example, not paying for travel time, on-call time, or time spent putting on and taking off protective gear, and
- requiring employees to work off the clock.
State Law Class Actions
Many states have their own wage and hour laws, and many provide additional employee protections. Employees who are bringing only state law claims must follow their state's rules for moving forward as a class action. Employees bringing claims under both federal and state law could try to join them together, although this isn't always successful because the rules are different for each.
Depending on state law, an action might be brought for:
- requiring employees to pay for their own uniforms
- requiring employees to provide their own work tools
- failing to pay the state minimum wage
- failing to pay overtime due under state law
- failing to pay final paychecks when they are due, or
- violating state law regarding payment of tips, among other things.
Get Legal Help
If you are contemplating a group lawsuit, you should speak to an employment lawyer right away. A lawyer can sort out whether you have valid claims against your employer, and whether those claims would best be raised in an individual complaint or lawsuit or as a group. A lawyer can also assess the chances of a court allowing the case to move forward as a class or collective action. Class and collection actions are very complicated, and you will definitely need a lawyer representing your group if you decide to proceed.

Bad Wimpfen (paper)
Photographs from a Southern German Town
de Mark C. Christianson
Acerca del libro
Nestled along the Neckar River in Southern Germany, Bad Wimpfen is a beautiful and picturesque town notable for its historic character and surviving medieval buildings. On the hill above the river, amongst the half-timber houses and winding streets, are the remains of an imperial palace. Below, next to the river, rests a monastic cloister and its church. Overlooking it all, the imperial palace's nearly eight hundred year old Blue Tower still keeps watch.
In these eighty-four images, photographer Mark C. Christianson explores the town and cloister of Bad Wimpfen. His photos range from wide vistas and townscapes, through investigation of intimate details. He pays special attention to the details of the cloister—the town's architectural gem—and the contemplative play of light and darkness within the sheltered openness of the cloister's medieval passages.
Come along on a journey into a small, historic German town found in our own contemporary world: Bad Wimpfen.
This is the paperback edition.

text: Is Justin Timberlake Really The Only Thing Worth Mentioning About a Motor Show?Peter Orosz3/08/10 10:00amFiled to: Rantsgeneva motor show2010 Geneva Motor ShowAudiAudi A1Justin TimberlakeLamborghiniLamborghini Countach32EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink What's even sadder than the cynical deluge of hybrid supercars is that the only event from last week's Geneva Motor Show covered by the mainstream non-automotive press was Justin Timberlake introducing the Audi A1 at a press conference. Granted, a free commuter paper is not exactly The New York Times, but it's perhaps a reflection of the general public's interest. Advertisement Advertisement Our Mr. Petrány was in attendance at Audi's press event on Tuesday afternoon and he described an awkward corporate scene, where Mr. Timberlake feigned great interest in receiving the first Audi A1, equipped with a 1.4-liter engine, after being introduced by 15 seconds of corporate rock performed by a band flown in from Sweden. Perhaps it's too much to ask from the general press to focus on anything other than a nano-bit of vapid celebrity news, but one cannot help but think of the Geneva Motor Show's great history, spanning almost a century.Has the automobile really fallen to such levels of social irrelevance that the only bit of interest at a supposedly grand motor show is a shabbily dressed man purchased for corporate money, sticking out like a sore thumb in his unlaced boots and his garish belt from the French-Italian chic of the local crowd. Sponsored Geneva is the canary in the coalmine of automotive trends. If there's any indication of where the automobile is headed, Geneva points to a world of pointless hybrids and appliance-cars, sparsely decorated with a lone Lexus LF–A or an Audi RS5. But maybe there's hope. A few pages behind Timberlake, a spread describing the history of the show featured a rather large print of a red Countach, introduced here in 1971 to hurl the world of supercars forever spaceward. At least one person on the 6:42 AM Lausanne-Geneva express was interested. Advertisement Not that being interested in a red or yellow wedge from outer space is a particularly great request from the human nervous system, but still, it's a start. We need our supercars like never before. Photo Credit: Máté Petrány, Lamborghini, and the authorReply32 repliesLeave a reply

5 Financial Rules for your Twenties
I think everyone can agree that your twenties are difficult. When you are fresh out of college, adjusting to the 9-5 grind can be hard, and then in your mid-twenties competition in your career can become fierce, you may get married and have a kid.
Once you are on the carousel it never stops, but my point is that most of your twenties will be spent in flux. This doesn't mean your finances have to be, which is why I've compiled the most important financial rules for those in their twenties.
1. Live like a college kid for as long as possible —The transformation from poor college kid to working adult with an income can be a dangerous one. After all, you've lived off of ramen noodles for four years. Still, depending on the industry you work in, your starting salary may not go as far as you think. Even if it is just for a year or two try living like a college kid. The money you'll save with put you ahead and pay off those student loans even faster.
2. Put your credit cards on ice —You don't actually have to freeze your credit cards (even though I do) but laying off of the credit cards in your twenties could save you big down the road. And having some credit on the cards will come in handy later in the event you have an emergency and are still building your savings. Credit should be used wisely, but it is easy to fall into the trap of using a credit card once you are making money every month to "pay it off." Most of the time people rarely do.
3. Adjust your expectations —This may seem like odd advice in a financial article, but working a terrible, soul-crushing job in your twenties is almost a rite of passage. If you adjust your expectations, you'll be able to see that every job is a stepping stone, no matter how terrible. Use the income to pay down debt, save up to start your own business, or take classes if you are still figuring out what it is you want to do. A job is better than no job.
4. Save early, save often —I won't lie to you. It is difficult to accumulate savings. Especially when you are just starting out; you have insurance costs, furnishing your apartment/home or saving for a wedding to contend with. Still, the earlier you start saving, even if it just a tiny amount, can set you up for financial success down the road. Having an "emergency fund" keeps financial disasters at bay, and is the single most important key to financial stability. After all, living paycheck to paycheck in your 30's just isn't cool.
5. Share your journey with someone —Those who are married already have access to the single greatest benefit of joining finances: having someone to keep you accountable. Even though couples share both two incomes and two sets of financial baggage, they have a financial buddy built-in to their home life. Not married? No problem. Share your journey with a close friend, mentor, or parent. Having someone to bounce ideas and "talk money" with on a regular basis will keep you accountable for your financial goals in the long term.
What financial lessons from your twenties do you think are the most important? What would you have done differently?

On Oct. 31, the University of Redlands hosted the first annual âLENS: Mapping People Symposium,â generously supported through a grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation.
Approximately 75 Geographic Information System (GIS) practitioners and graduate students from the Inland Empire attended the symposium to explore the complexities of mapping people. LEarNing Spatially (LENS) is a University of Redlands initiative promoting spatial literacy as a foundational component within a liberal arts institution.
Diana Sinton, director of Spatial Curriculum & Research at the University of Redlands, organized the event. âI was inspired to create this event because I wanted to make the region more aware of the interesting and innovative projects that our faculty members are doing,â said Sinton.
The keynote speaker was Ian Gregory, professor of history and leader of a digital humanities initiative at Lancaster University, United Kingdom. His presentation, âGIS & Texts: New Approaches to Understanding the Geographies of the Past,â showed how geo-tagging text on websites was combined with GIS technology to put points on a map based on place names and other geographic references. Once mapped, readers could interact with the map and the text to understand words in the context of location.
In 2010, the University of Redlands received a three-year grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation to support spatial literacy and learning, which includes LENS fellowships that encourage professors to use maps, mapping and spatial perspectives in teaching, learning and research.
Four University of Redlands LENS Fellows presented their research and showed how spatial thinking led to a more in-depth understanding of the relationships between people, culture, language and geography.
Jim Sandos, Farquhar Professor of the Southwest, department of history, presented âMapping Cultural & Social Change in a California Mission: San José, 1797-1850.â
John Glover, professor, department of history, presented âHistorical Lebu Migration in West Africa.â
Lillian Larsen, associate professor, religious studies, presented âRecreating the Historical Travels of Paul.â
Dan Klooster, professor, environmental studies, presented âVisualizing the Trans-border Communities of Mexican Migrants.â

Latter-day revelations speak of hell in at least two ways. First, it is another name for spirit prison, a temporary place in the postmortal world for those who died without a knowledge of the truth or those who were disobedient in mortality. Second, it is the permanent location of Satan and his followers and the sons of perdition, who are not redeemed by the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
Additional Information
Spirit prison is a temporary state in which spirits will be taught the gospel and have the opportunity to repent and accept ordinances of salvation that are performed for them in temples (see D&C 138:30-35). Those who accept the gospel may dwell in paradise until the Resurrection. After they are resurrected and judged, they will receive the degree of glory of which they are worthy. Those who choose not to repent but who are not sons of perdition will remain in spirit prison until the end of the Millennium, when they will be freed from hell and punishment and be resurrected to a telestial glory (see D&C 76:81-85).
Those who are not redeemed by the Atonement are in outer darkness, which is the dwelling place of the devil, his angels, and the sons of perdition (see D&C 29:36-38; 76:28-33). Sons of perdition are those who receive "no forgiveness in this world nor in the world to come—having denied the Holy Spirit after having received it, and having denied the Only Begotten Son of the Father, having crucified him unto themselves and put him to an open shame" (D&C 76:34-35; see also D&C 76:31-33, 36-37). Such individuals will not inherit a place in any kingdom of glory; for them the conditions of hell remain (see D&C 76:38; 88:24, 32).

New Delhi, Feb 20 (IANS) The Delhi High Court Wednesday issued notice to the Delhi government on a plea seeking special courts to try sexual offences committed against children.
A division bench of Chief Justice D. Murugesan and Justice V.K. Jain sought a response from the Delhi government and the department of law, justice and legislative affairs and posted the matter for May 1.
A public interest litigation (PIL) filed by advocate Gaurav Kumar Bansal also sought direction to the government to appoint special public prosecutors for these courts.
The PIL submitted that section 28 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act 2012 "mandates establishment of a court of session to be special court in every district" and section 32 "mandates appointment of special public prosecutors".
Bansal said the government had neither constituted special courts nor appointed special public prosecutors. The act came into force Nov 14 last year, it said.
The petition asked the court to direct the government to create sufficient awareness about the act and its provisions among the public, government officials and police.
"An estimated 150 million girls and 73 million boys under age 18 have experienced forced sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual violence involving physical contact," Bansal told the court.

'Saint of 9/11' to Screen in 12 Cities for 9/11/06, National 5th Anniversary Remembrance
Sep 05, 2006, 01:00 ET from Equality Forum
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- "Saint of 9/11," the story of Father Mychal Judge, Chaplain, FDNY, will screen in 12 cities for the National 5th Anniversary Remembrance. Father Judge became the international symbol of heroism on 9/11 when a Reuters photograph depicted his body being removed from the World Trade Center. After the attack, it was revealed that Father Judge declined Mayor Rudy Giuliani's invitation to join him, instead choosing to be with the FDNY and victims of the terrorist attack. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060403/PHM002) Many of the 12 cities are inviting regional fire fighters to attend as their guests. The 12 cities include Boston, Denver, Ft. Lauderdale, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Patchogue (NY), Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Seattle. In Patchogue, Long Island, New York, the film will be introduced by Father Kevin Smith, Chaplain of the local fire department that responded on 9/11. Father Smith found Father Judge's body at Church and Vesey Streets and had it placed at the altar of St. Peter's Church in Lower Manhattan. "Saint of 9/11" is the story of Father Judge, a first generation Irish immigrant who became a quintessential Franciscan priest and authentic American hero. The film had its world premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. The LA Weekly called it "magnificent" and The Philadelphia Inquirer said it is a "must-see film." Ian McKellen is the narrator of the film, which has an original music score by Michael Aharon. In San Francisco, the screening is being sponsored by the San Francisco Police Association and San Francisco Fire Fighters Local 798. In Kansas City, the Interfaith Council and Human Relations Commission are collaborating. The Mayor has declared a citywide moment of silence before the screening. The film will have its theatrical release at the IFC Center in Manhattan on September 6.

After nearly 24 years on the Pasadena City Council representing the residents of Council District 3, Chris Holden is moving to new public service duties at the California Legislature as the newly elected Assembly member for the 41st Assembly District.
Mr. Holden also was selected by his peers as the Majority Whip of the California Democratic Caucus in Sacramento, a rare honor for a first-year Assembly member.
In addition to Pasadena, Assembly member Holden now represents portions of South Pasadena, portions of East Pasadena, Sierra Madre, Monrovia, La Verne, Altadena, San Dimas, Claremont and Upland.
A swearing-in ceremony was held Dec. 9 before an overflow crowd of about 350 well-wishers at the Paseo Colorado. On Dec. 17, the Pasadena City Council and members of the community also honored him during a special farewell ceremony at City Hall. On behalf of the City Council, Mayor Bill Bogaard presented his former Council colleague with a special framed picture of Pasadena City Hall as a remembrance of the many hours spent inside the historic building—and something to help remind him of Pasadena while representing the city in the Assembly.
The Pasadena City Council is expected to appoint a temporary representative for District 3 in January or February.

I wouldn't worry about Janish outperforming anyone.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Perhaps because of the injury, but his short stint was impressive and his minor league pedigree is good. I think he is a question mark, which I think is what you meant by your analogy, but has performed well enough to project as being at least average at the position, both with the stick and defensively. All things considered, that level of performance will benefit the team.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
I'm not sure how impressive his debut really was.
He had 38 PA, zero walks.
A .345 BABIP and a 20% HR/FB rate indicates his low .800's OPS was not sustainable on that basis.
Now it was 38 PA, so it really means little in any event.
His minor league stats indicate he should be a servicable major league SS, but not much else.
With him coming off a serious injury, I think we needed more than one option.
TJ surgery is routine these days. Janish himself had it while in the minors, and to his throwing arm. Cozart's surgery was to his left elbow. Not a complete non-issue, but nothing to be real worried about.With him coming off a serious injury, I think we needed more than one option.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
The problem as I see it is that if Cozart fails or sustains a long-term injury, neither Janish or Valdez are decent options - if this club plans on contending.
Depth is nice, but if the Reds need to rely on this depth more than occasionally then they are probably in trouble.
The results for 38 PA is completely irrelevant to this conversation. He clearly demonstrated MLB talent both at the plate in the field. His minor league results are the relevant indicator, and offensively he should be a positive addition to the offense's bottom line, and at least neutral defensively.
For the record, I had to eat crow for those who were begging for him last year much earlier. Not calling him up probably wouldn't have made a difference in the big picture since he wasn't a pitcher, but that misstep by management could have given them more than 38 PAs in the show to project for this season, which is evidenced by their handing him the job going into this season.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
11 pages of debate that Janish is as good as Valdez...haha...Janish is one of the worst MLB players in the history of the game. Valdez can play all the infield positions with above average defense (Janish is pretty much just a SS) and is clearly, clearly, clearly a better hitter no matter how old he is. I would venture that Valdez will be a better hitter than Janish when he is 50. As to giving up something of value, it was Jeremy Horst...If Janish starts in AAA over some younger guy that should be playing I would be shocked. Amazing how tied into home-grown "talent" some of us Reds fans become. Janish is horrible, we should be happy we won't have to watch him be horrible...
The grass is always greener on the other side, I guess.
Over their last season's worth of playing time, they're basically the same guy production wise - Wilson has a slight edge that you certainly couldn't detect with your eyes. Valdez has been a better hitter. Janish has been a better fielder. It more or less comes out a wash.Code:PA AVG OBP SLG Fld WAR 2010 363 .258 .306 .360 1.9 1.1 2011 300 .249 .294 .341 -5.0 0.0 663 .254 .300 .351 -3.1 1.1 2010 228 .260 .338 .385 1.2 1.1 2011 366 .214 .259 .262 4.2 -0.4 594 .231 .289 .308 5.4 0.7
The idea that either guys is clearly better (that is, much more likely to outproduce the other given the same opportunity) is just silly and seems to be to be based in a visceral reaction from having the privilege of watching Janish suck -- and not having been able to watch Valdez.
I get that people really don't want Janish on the team. I'd love to have a better backup too. But the reality is that they are very similar players -- guys are quality defensive IFs who have played primarily at SS and some at 3B and 2B and who are poor hitters. Try to project them for 2012 and the bars of uncertainty around either players' performance significantly overlaps with the other guy.
It's completely possible that the Reds don't miss Horst at all. But let's not delude ourselves that one crappy hitting, good fielding 25th man is better than the other. It assumes way too much about our ability to differentiate between part-time players in small samples. Janish is not a good player and arguing that Valdez isn't much better is not to defend Janish so much as it is an effort to assess Valdez realistically.

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Valdez is better (and clearly a better hitter) and knows his job and has no problem with that being his job. For those that want to continue to hold onto this belief that Janish is actually a MLB player, carry-on for another 11 pages. I will just be happy that he is done and that Dusty won't be able to play him an excessive amount in the coming season. War means nothing to me; I will continue to go by real stats and actually watching players (as opposed to stats created by people that don't want to watch players).
11 pages! Hilarious!
Get MLBtraderumors Reds updates on Facebook.
don't let facts get in the way of a good rant. I said it before, I'll say it again. You don't trade for Paul Janish... you buy him. You buy him, you buy Juan Castro's. You buy them you shouldn't trade for them, especially when you already have them.
Valdez is just Janish with a Latin last name and a few more miles. That's it. And if you THINK Valdez has value, then you think Janish has value.

In a public statement, Rice said that the case needed to be reopened because one of the the accusers, Daisy Coleman, said that she would be willing to testify during an appearance on CNN. At the same time, Rice defended his decision to drop the case in the first place, hoisting the blame on Coleman.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) — Power shortages expected in Japan this summer are lifting coal prices and the prospects for specialized exchange-traded funds that invest in the commodity.
Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Co. or Tepco (9501) said last month it expects its electricity supply capacity in July to total 46.5 million kilowatts, falling short of estimated peak demand of 55 million kilowatts. The utility is still working to fully restore cooling operations at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which was critically damaged in the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March.
Australia and Japan head in opposite directions
While Australia's economy is powering ahead, Japan's is languishing, as S&P cuts its outlook on Tokyo's bonds. This means Japanese investors will direct more of their savings to Australia. Dow Jones Newswires' Mark Cranfield offers his analysis.
The disaster took out about 9.7 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear power capacity in the region, along with about 9 GW of additional thermal power capacity. Tepco, Japan's largest electric utility, supplying electricity to Tokyo metropolitan area, has lost 23% of its generation capacity.
As a result, coal is being seen as a readily available power source. Indeed, J-Power, Japan's largest coal-based thermal power producer, is already overextended — having to make up for the lost electricity of Tepco and Tohoku Electric, two utilities most impacted by the quake.
Japan's rebuilding effort also will rely heavily on coal, as coal is essential in the production of cement and steel— two major construction materials. Read more: Japan data paint grim post-quake picture.
"Coal power plants are going to have to run harder to replace power in the nuclear power plants," said Michael Tian, an analyst at investment researcher Morningstar Inc.
Thermal coal prices have been rising in Australia, Indonesia, South Africa, South America and Canada as weather and other issues negatively impact supply. Other factors that could drive coal prices higher include the brisk growth of emerging countries such as China and India, and the weak U.S. dollar.
Long term, the U.S. and China have committed to so-called clean coal technology, which could one day make coal competitive with other "green" energy sources and boost global demand for coal.
"We are going to see coal demand increase, as we see global GDP increase," said Tom Lydon, editor of ETFtrends.com, an online research publication.
Two exchange-traded funds focus on coal producers and related companies: Market Vectors Coal ETF KOL, -0.07% and PowerShares Global Coal Portfolio ETF PKOL
Top holdings in the Market Vectors portfolio include China Shenhua Energy Co Ltd. (1088), Joy Global Inc. JOYG and Consol Energy Inc. CNX, +0.06%
The PowerShares ETF, meanwhile, has sizeable positions in China Shenhua, Consol Energy, and Peabody Energy Corp. BTU, +0.00%

He is riding an eight fight winning streak... Definitely deserves a shot even if I don't know his last 6 or 7 opponents.
Yeh Soa definitely deserves another shot and HW can always do with some new blood (or old in this case) I wonder who he will get matched up with?
I like this, Soa is a bjj black belt so that lnp won't work against him. Todd Duffee is another good choice
Awesome signing, he deserves it. He ko'd Sean McCorkle in the first round a while back. Apparently he's fighting Stipe Miocic at UFC 161
Dang, I think Stipe will be too young and hungry to bounce back from the Struve loss for Soa to handle. Rough debut fight.
sherdog has him at 290lbs haha...better call Dolce for his fight in June Miocic will be a tough welcome back for him, doubt that one's going to last very long either way

Pentax's K-x offers an awful lot of K-7 features in what is essentially the same body as the K2000 (K-m). In fact, its high specification and low price are most reminiscent of the much-loved K200D, which could make this a welcome addition to the upper-entry-level market. We were able to borrow a pre-production model so that we could look beyond the various color options to see just what this latest little Pentax offers.
Pentax K-x Brief hands-on
by Richard Butler, September 2009
Based on a pre-production Pentax K-x
The Pentax K-x sits in the slot previously occupied by the company's K200D - one of the best-specified entry-level DSLRs on the market in its time - though that position has now been elevated by the arrival of a new breed of simplified models below it. In Pentax's line-up that means the K2000/K-m designed to entice compact camera users into DSLR ownership with its easy-to-use interface and diminutive scale, and it's that camera the K-x is immediately reminiscent of (they share the same body).
Despite its compact size and use of AA batteries, there is more than a hint of the K-7 about the new model's specifications. It gains the K-7's 11-point AF system and PRIME II imaging engine, along with its abilities to correct for chromatic aberration and distortion when using Pentax DA and DFA lenses. Portrait photographers will be delighted by the re-inclusion of an orientation sensor.
However, the K-m cloning process has meant that although you can now at least select the active AF-point, it's still not displayed in the viewfinder. There is still plenty new about the K-x that is not shared with either of its stable-mates, though.
The camera is based around a 12.4 megapixel CMOS sensor with onboard A/D conversion (a system often associated with Sony), with output fast enough not only for the camera to shoot at 4.7 frames per second, but also for capturing 24 frames of 720p HD video per second. Along with the sensor come higher ISOs - now up to 6400, expandable to 12800. Plus there's a revised version of the K-m's shutter mechanism to allow the high continuous shooting speed, which ups the maximum shutter speed to 1/6000 sec. The camera also features a new 'cross-processing' mode on top of an already impressive range of filters and processing options.
With its decision not to use a Samsung sensor and that Korean company's apparent unwillingness to re-badge the most recent Pentax DSLRs, it's hard not to see the K-x as another question mark over the closeness of the relationship between the two companies and what that might mean for Pentax's future direction.
Pentax K-x Key Features
- 12.4 megapixel APS-C-format CMOS sensor (total pixels: 12.9 million)
- PRIME II imaging engine
- 1/6000th maximum shutter speed
- 720p HD video (24 fps)
- 2.7" LCD monitor (230,000 dots)
- Image sensor cleaning (sensor shake)
- 11 selectable AF points
- IS0 200-6400 range (100-12,800 when expanded)
- 4.7 frames per second continuous shooting (for 17 frames)
In the hand
Because it inherits the K2000/K-m's body, the K-x fits well in the hand and locates all the most important buttons directly where you place your fingers. We rather liked the K-m's ergonomics, which should make K-x a competitive addition to the market - especially considering its very reasonable-looking price-tag.
How the Pentax DSLRs compare:

It comes in colors
The popularity of the white limited edition of the K-m has also encouraged Pentax to offer a white K-x as a mass-production model, with red and blue now being available as specials. And, in the Japanese market, will be available in custom combinations from a selection of 20 body and 9 grip colors. The Taste Police prohibit 40 of the combinations, but you're still able to choose from 100 possibilities (A Fushia Pink body and Yellow grip has somehow slipped through, for instance). The option to choose lens colors will also be available. Pentax UK and Europe say they have no plans to extend the scheme to their markets.

PebbleOS Firmware v1.8 Released
Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky alluded to the fact that since this is the first batch of smartwatches, the updates would come fast and furious.
Looks as if Pebble is keeping its word in announcing frequent updates - I found a tweet from the @Pebble account earlier this month that smartwatch owners can now update to version 1.8.1 that includes (but not limited to):
- Improved backlight control
- Display settings are now persisted across resets
- Notification popups now time out after 3 minutes
- Bug that caused certain MAP/SMS messages to crash the watch
- Fixed some incorrect battery state transitions and thresholds
Click this link for the full list of additions and fixes.
Not suprising, as new ideas (and bugs) for the first "legit" smartwatch would be on the top most fans, developers, and nay-sayers to-do list. I am one of the early-adopters who just received my watch over the weekend. I must admit, the update still isn't showing up on the app's dashboard even after a force stop/start of the app, shutdown/restart of my phone, and a delete/reinstall of the Pebble app itself.
Sounds like update roll-out should be on the top of Pebble's to-do list. If you have the watch and the update, let me know what you think.

John Barleycorn Must Die is the Traffic album that nearly never was. After all, the band had split up a couple of years earlier after guitarist Dave Mason left the group for the second time. It was a sudden end to what had seemed like such a bright beginning only a couple of years before.
Traffic formed in April 1967 when Spencer Davis Group man, Steve Winwood, ex-Deep Feeling drummer Jim Capaldi, flautist and saxophonist Chris Wood (who had been in Shades of Blue with Christine McVie) and Dave Mason, who decades later turned up in the post-Christine McVie Fleetwood Mac. Such are the roundabout ways of music.
Their early psychedelic songs were all hits in the UK with "Paper Sun," "Hole in My Shoe," and "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" all hitting the UK Top 10 singles chart within a period of six months. However, they quickly diversified, incorporating jazz and improvisational techniques into their sound for their second and, seemingly, last album, Traffic. With the band splitting, Steve Winwood headed off to join Eric Clapton in the ill-fated Blind Faith, but after that band's abrupt end he went into the recording studio to make his debut solo album, to be called Mad Shadows, with producer Guy Stevens.
But after only getting a couple of tracks down — "Stranger to Himself" and "Every Mother's Son" — he invited Chris Wood and Jim Capaldi along, and Traffic was reborn; albeit in a different style to what had gone before. With the UK folk-rock explosion headed by the likes of Pentangle and Fairport Convention underway, Traffic added some of that influence to the jazz and blues concoction of their second album, and ended up creating what will always be their masterpiece, John Barleycorn Must Die.
This deluxe edition has been overseen by Steve Winwood and, as well as the original studio album, now digitally remastered, you're getting a second disc of bonus material featuring seven songs recorded live in 1970 at the Fillmore East in New York alongside alternate mixes and versions of album tracks. And it really is worth the effort.
It's hard to believe that Winwood was still only 22 years old at the time, such was his experience by that point, but this record has a depth and inventiveness that puts most of his then contemporaries firmly in the shade. After a break from recording his solo album to play with Ginger Baker's Airforce, he tried to finish off "Glad," a jazz-influenced instrumental. However, he realised that what was missing was Jim Capaldi's drumming and Chris Wood's saxophone, something that made the whole album take off.
Some of the songs reflect the more pastoral sound of Blind Faith and Delaney & Bonnie, especially the likes of "Freedom Rider," The Fairport Convention influence comes firmly to the fore on the title track, with the Traffic rendition of the seventeenth century traditional folk song "John Barleycorn Must Die," a song that also appears on the bonus disc in an earlier incarnation.
The live tracks from the Fillmore East were recorded on November 18th and 19th for a projected live album. That album was shelved, and even though a couple of tracks ended up on the 1999 CD reissue, the versions here have never been previously released.
This is a superb album, the kind of record that only seemed to be made in the seventies when you could mix up jazz, blues, folk and even the odd bit of prog, and have it become a hit.
Traffic carried on for another few, solid if unspectacular albums, before Winwood went solo for a couple of highs but mainly musical lows. There was a brief nineties reunion, but if you've never heard this album before, give yourself a slap and make up for it now.

(CEMESP/IFEX) - March 18, 2011 - The Acting Mayor of Monrovia, Mary Broh, has threatened to file a lawsuit against the Center for Media Studies and Peace Building (CEMESP). CEMESP, the lead freedom of expression advocacy group in Liberia, has for the past five years been engaged in reporting and documenting attacks on freedom of expression in the country.
The threat followed the release of CEMESP's annual report entitled, "Strengthening Freedom to Further Democracy in Liberia: Attacks on Freedom of Expression in Liberia 2010". The report singled out Acting Mayor Broh as the only high Government official that unleashed two attacks on press freedom in 2010.
On March 14, 2011, the Liberian Women Democracy Radio quoted the Acting Mayor as saying that she will file a libel lawsuit against CEMESP for mentioning her name in the report.
CEMESP's report noted that on April 15, 2010 Acting Mayor Broh ordered her bodyguards to arrest and jail Love FM reporter Nimpson Todd. The report also stated that it had been the second time in less than two weeks that Broh had publicly disgraced Todd while in the discharge of his reportorial duty.
Meanwhile, CEMESP Executive Director Malcolm Joseph has welcomed the threat of a lawsuit against his organization. Mr. Joseph says he is not disturbed by the threat, saying this is simply a calculated ploy by Madam Broh to intimidate members of his staff, thereby subjecting them to submission.

Two programs that have had to pick themselves up off the mat more than they'd probably prefer over the last two seasons will square off Saturday in Los Angeles in a game that will likely shape the pecking order of the Pac-12 South.
Utah travels to USC, and neither team feels particularly good about what it did this past week. Coming off a huge victory over Stanford, the Utes were flat in their first out-of-state road trip of the season in a 35-24 loss at Arizona.
The Trojans were offensively unimpressive in a 14-10 loss at Notre Dame.
A bowl berth still seems very much a possibility for both teams. The Trojans (4-3, 1-2) play 13 regular-season games this season because of their Week 1 trek to Hawaii. And with California and Colorado still on the schedule, it's hard to imagine the Trojans not eking out at least two wins over the final six.
The road to the postseason is a little tougher for the Utes (4-3, 1-3). With trips to Oregon and Washington State sandwiched between home dates with ASU and Colorado, Utah is hoping it's one-year bowl absence last season proves to be more of a freak occurrence rather than routine.
Most troubling to Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, however, was that he has no explanation for why his team lacked the sizzle it showed two weeks ago in upending Stanford.
"I think that was our first out-of-state road trip and that could have played into it a little bit," Whittingham said. "We were flat coming out. We had a good week of preparation. There were really no indicators we were going to come out flat. For whatever reason we weren't real fired up in the first half ... We didn't get it done. We lost some of the momentum we had from the Stanford win. Now we have to move forward and try to get that corrected this week."
This wasn't the first time it's happened, either. Whittingham cited last season's 24-21 win over No. 25 BYU, which was followed by the Utes being blasted on the road by Arizona State. In 2011 they erased a 14-13 halftime deficit to win at Pittsburgh 26-14, only to tank on the road a week later at Cal.
"I talked with Coach (Dennis) Erickson afterwards and he said that's happened to him so many times over the course of his career and he didn't have a great answer either, other than it happens," Whittingham said. "It's happened to us a couple other times ... I wish I had an answer. If I had an answer than I wouldn't let it happen. But it did."
And now the Utes have to wash it away. With five opportunities left to find two wins, this game takes on even greater importance for Utah -- which will have to either sweep at home or pick up at least one out-of-state road win to become bowl eligible.
"The Pac-12 has become a meat grinder just like the SEC, in my opinion," Whittingham said. "Every single week you're going to be challenged. I don't want to paint the picture that it was us being flat, or this and that, why we lost. Arizona is a darn good football team. They deserved to win. Ka'Deem Carey is one of the best backs in the country and did a number on us. You have to be able to play your 'A' every week in order to have a chance to win. We did play our 'A' game against Stanford and didn't quite play up to that level this week."
Interim USC coach Ed Orgeron is banking on his players' peppier attitude to guide them after one opportunity after another slipped through hands in South Bend. Numerous times throughout the game the Trojans had an opportunity to re-take the lead, but either missed field goals or penalties or poor execution contributed to their downfall. Orgeron said he's confident the Trojans have moved on.
"I really feel like we came back with a good attitude," he said. "We've put the last one behind us. I really like the feeling of this team and their attitude. But we have to play well Saturday.
"They have a good mindset, whether they read (what's written about the team) or not. It's none of our business. They are going to do what they want to do. They are grown men. But I think they are pretty focused."
Both teams are hoping to get marquee playmakers back for this week. Utah quarterback Travis Wilson sat the second half of the Arizona game with a hand injury. Whittingham said it's early, but he's hopeful Wilson be ready to play. USC wide receiver Marqise Lee also missed the second half of the Notre Dame game when he aggravated his sprained knee.

We believe that international aid can work. Spent in the right way, aid can foster development and promote growth in poor countries. All too often, however, funds are directed towards inflexible, poorly executed projects that don't adequately address the particular needs of individual states and communities.
We believe in the simple truth that when something works, we should do more of it and when something doesn't work, we should stop doing it. Making aid more effective is, therefore, a question of figuring out which activities are having a positive impact and directing more funds towards these. This involves a process of trial and error, reliant on strong feedback from the front line of aid delivery to all points in the development chain. Access to this kind of data and critique, combined with the freedom for practitioners to adapt activities accordingly, must mean better outcomes. And ultimately, better opportunities and quality of life for the people we are all trying to help.
Like everyone involved in international development, we have our own ideas and experience of what has worked and what has not. But there is a wealth of experience out there that we all need to learn from.
So we want to hear from you.
This site is a collection of editorial, news and comment on the issues surrounding effective development aid. Good practice is born of good dialogue – so let's get talking.

It was a must-win game for the Canadiens and they didn't disappoint the louder-than-usual 21,273 crowd at the Bell Centre on Monday with a convincing 4-0 win over the Boston Bruins in a thrilling, fast-paced game.
"Everyone was on board,"said Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty who scored his first goal in the series, beating Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask on a breakaway.
"We saw that from the first shift. Everyone was skating," he said.
"We're a fast team and when we use our speed we're frustrating to play against. And I think we were able to do that tonight. No passengers. Everyone played their best tonight," added Pacioretty who also picked up an assist on Thomas Vanek's power play goal.
The Canadiens went into Game 6 on the brink of elimination in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference semi-final series with the Bruins. The series is now tied 3-3 and will be decided in Boston on Wednesday at TD Garden.
"Anything can happen in Game 7. That's the beauty of it," said Canadiens coach Michel Therrien.
Carey Price made 26 saves and earned his first shutout of the playoffs. He got some help in the third period from David Desharnais who pushed the puck back from the goal line, preventing the Bruins from scoring.
The Canadiens got off to a strong start with Lars Eller scoring at 2:11 of the first period.
Defenceman Nathan Beaulieu played his first playoff game in the National Hockey League and collected an assist on Pacioretty's goal in the second period. Vanek gave the Canadiens a 3-0 lead with a power play goal in the second period, then scored again when the Bruins pulled Rask with four minutes left to play in the third period.
"I think we definitely fed off the crowd tonight. They were awesome," Price said.
"It was a lot of fun to play in front of them. They gave us the momentum and the spark we needed."
There was so much energy in the building, said Canadiens defenceman P.K. Subban.
"I don't think there was any time during the game where they were quiet. That helps," Subban said.
"I thought we did a good job of putting pressure on their defence. Making them make tough plays," Subban added.
"As a defenceman when guys are coming in hard like that on the fore check and making it tough for you every shift, it's hard to make plays and get the puck out of your zone. I thought we did a good job of forcing them to make mistakes."

Last Thursday's transformation of the Harvard Square Urban Outfitters from clothing store into rock club wasn't all that dramatic. Store employees reinvented themselves as bouncers, keeping order to the line of attendees with easy nonchalance early in the evening and standing stageside later, nodding and watching the show in skinny ties and cut-off shorts. The fuss was for a free show from Cleveland foursome White Williams sponsored by the store, Toyota, and Emerson College's WERS-FM as part of UO's "Free Yr Radio" series — which last year included a similar performance by Dinosaur Jr.
After sunset, the band emerged from the bargain basement and assembled on stage in front of the first-floor men's department. Joe Williams, the waify mastermind, may be in his mid 20s, but he's childlike in performance, all long eyelashes and restless feet. He flitted about as though forever on the verge of dancing but never actually did — instead, he kept his head down, alternately fiddling with synth knobs and tooting a melodica.
The audience was stylish (were UO designers patrolling the door?) and appreciatively still, despite the floor-shaking volume — that is, until Williams played "Headlines," the synth-heavy, popping, disco-derivative first track from his debut, Smoke (Tigerbeat6). From that point on, heads crowned in neon Ray-Bans began to nod, bodies gradually shifted, and finally, in the midst of the faux vintage T's and every imaginable shade of Levis, people started dancing.
Since this was a clothing store, no house lights came up to signal the end of the half-hour set (they never dimmed in the first place), and there were no bartenders to shout, "Last call!" Despite the early hour and the unavailability of beer, people seemed reluctant to leave, and Williams mingled dutifully, swilling Red Bull from a Solo cup. Some eager fans approached armed with Sharpies and posters; others eased the store's transition back into itself by browsing for breezy tanktops and summer dresses.

At age 56, Bill Davidson is back at school, learning math, social studies and reading skills to prepare for a general equivalency diploma test.
The Corona man has been out of work since February and is terrified about losing his home to foreclosure.
Davidson traces his financial problems to his 1971 decision to drop out of high school.
âI didnât realize until later in life how it affected me,â Davidson said after a morning at Riverside Adult School. âIt held me back.â
The economic crisis has affected people of all educational backgrounds, but no one more than those who dropped out or never attended high school.
The national unemployment rate is more than three times higher for dropouts than for college graduates.
Nearly 26 percent of Inland dropouts over 24 live in poverty, compared to 5 percent of college graduates, according to the 2010 U.S. Census.
The typical Inland dropout earns less than $20,000 a year. A high school diploma boosts incomes to nearly $28,000 and a college degree to about $51,000.
High school dropouts are more likely to be sick, obese and dependent on government aid, and they commit more crimes, studies show.
Even in good times, dropouts were finding it increasingly difficult to find good jobs, as manufacturing moved overseas and more employers began demanding diplomas.
Davidson said he easily found a job at a plastics factory after dropping out and worked through the 1980s and 1990s at an electronics manufacturing plant. His employers didnât ask for a high school diploma.
âNowadays things are totally different,â he said. âYou have to have a lot more knowledge than you did 30 or 40 years ago.â
Schools have long known who is most at risk of dropping out: Kids of low-income, less-educated parents.
Now they are armed with research that details how to keep children of all backgrounds interested in school and ways to find red flags as early as kindergarten that a child may be headed for trouble.
San Jacinto Unified School District intensely monitors elementary school studentsâ attendance to look for missed days, frequently calls parents when children are absent and offers incentives like raffles for bikes for good attendance, said Marianna Vinson, the districtâs director of accountability and assessment. Students who miss too many days in early grades often fall further and further behind and have a hard time catching up, she said.
