It sounds like your level of nibbida (disenchantment, weariness) is strong. This bodes well; who knows, maybe the path will be piece of cake for you?Feathers wrote:Or I can decide the game isn't worth the candle - after all, even if (big if for me) rebirth is all true, memory carrying over seems so rare, that I won't be suffering. So I do as much as benefits me in this life, and then either this life is all there ever was (win) or I get reborn and continue for many more lives . . . but that would have happened anyway, as apparently even working your butt off for decades doesn't get you free of that.
If real progress, stream-entry at least, is not a realistic possibility, I simply don't see the motivation to do more than meditate a bit (for a happier mind) and live a moral life (because it's the right thing to do, and to hedge your bets on reincarnation).
This one life is exhausting - I used to wish there was an afterlife, now I am leaning towards hoping this one life is all there is. The idea of 7 more is already too much to face. To expend effort and precious energy on something that would still almost certainly leave me facing far more than 7 . . .
Looking at life here and now is like standing at the bottom of a hill with two broken legs, knowing I have to somehow climb that hill. Buddhism seems to chuck in an entire mountain range.
And yes, I know I'm on a Buddhist forum, and . . . I do believe there's something to Buddhism. If I didn't, if I was neutral or opposed to it, I wouldn't be here.
Becoming a doctor is difficult and 'rare'. When I finished school in Sydney, less than the top 1% of students could qualify for medicine. Is it impossible? No, but you would lying to your kid if you said it was common and easy. That being said, for some kids it IS easy. Maybe you are one of those 'kids'? You'll never know unless you give it a shot.
At the end of the day, its all causal from my understanding. You don't really have much choice in the matter. The fact that you have already come this close to Buddhism means you are already on the path.

SF - Week 15 Inactives - Mon Dec 19, 07:10 PM
The San Francisco 49ers have declared WR Braylon Edwards, DL Ian Williams, OT Mike Person, FB Moran Norris, LB Patrick Willis, QB Scott Tolzien, CB Tramaine Brock inactive for Week 15.
"Give me a 6 pack, half hour of rest and lets go play them again....We can beat them."
--Jack Lambert
"They say that when you're the champs, everybody will try to beat you. Well, I'm glad we're the champs, so bring 'em on, bring 'em all on. If we die, we ain't gonna die running. It's gonna be a fight."
--Joe Greene
No pat Willis or Braylon for them...
I dedicate this game to J.R. Wilburn. WR Steelers 1966 - 1970 HOF 2004 Alive and living in the Richmond, VA area.
And their fans.
Unless they shoot Ben up before the game he will hobble all night. That being said, he is not going to be able to roll out of the pocket, so the offensive line will need to hold up and he can't hold on to the ball. Drop back and fire. quick slants to Brown, Ward and Miller. They could all pick up five catches a piece tonight.
I also wonder if Redman will see more action out of the back field?
One stat that bothers me, Goldson and Rogers-both with five interceptions. With Willis out that will help us up the middle.
I look for Troy to have a big game as he tries to disrupt the offense of the 49ers. We will see. This game could come down to the final minutes of the game and who has the ball last, hopefully it is us.
one last thought, if Ben goes out early we will not win this game. No confidence in either Dixon or Batch. The both play very different forms of QB vs Ben. We need to address this in the Draft.
Now is the time to show the rats why they aren't the division champs, despite this year's sweep. It takes a full year of exemplary football to win the AFC North.
Here we go Steelers.

DURANGO A 56-year-old Towaoc man, originally charged with first-degree murder, pleaded guilty Wednesday morning in U.S District Court to a pair of reduced charges.
Clarence M. Lehi was arrested Nov. 5, 2011 in Towaoc in the shooting death of Winslow Big Soldier at Lehis house on Mountain Sage Road in the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe reservation.
He appeared in court in a jail jump suit and wrist and ankle chains.
Lehi now faces up to a combined 25 years in prison for the two counts he pleaded guilty to on Wednesday voluntary manslaughter and assault resulting in serious bodily injury.
A grand jury had indicted him on five counts, including first-degree murder, assault and possession of a gun by a felon. Those charges were waived because of the plea deal.
U.S. District Judge William Martinez accepted the plea, and the presumptive sentence on the manslaughter charge is not more than 15 years in prison, a fine not to exceed $250,000, three years supervised probation once released from prison and a $100 assessment fee.
On the assault charge, Lehi could be sentenced up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, three years supervised probation once released from prison and a $100 assessment fee.
The assault charge stems from a juvenile, who the court only identified by his initials, being injured by a ricochet bullet.
Martinez asked Lehi if he understood that he could impose a harsher sentence than the one recommended.
A somber Lehi told the judge he understood and still wanted to plead guilty.
Martinez asked Lehi twice to tell him the facts so he could determine whether to accept the guilty plea.
Lehi did not understand what the judge was asking, so Martinez asked Lehis public defender, Scott Varholak, to explain the request to his client.
I was pretty intoxicated and everything happened so fast, Lehi then said. I cant say how the gun went off. He came at me, and I thought he was going to stop.
He said he held the gun at waist length, adding he froze by the time his alleged assailant reached him.
Lehi told the judge that Big Soldier told him that he was going to give him the best (beating) this time and said the juvenile must have been near by to be accidentally hit.
Lehi previously claimed that he had been repeatedly assaulted by Big Soldier. According to court records, prior to the shooting, Lehi called him and asked the man to come over because Lehi had something for him.
Lehi was convicted of felony assault in Utah in 1983, though he told Martinez on Wednesday he had never been in trouble with the law before.
Walker set sentencing for Jan. 18, 2012 in Durango after being told that having the sentencing in Denver on Dec. 10 would be problematic for friends and relatives of both Lehi and Big Soldier who wished to attend the sentencing and possibly address the court.

LOS ALAMOS, N.M.—Officials at Los Alamos National Laboratory say they have been ordered to increase security, but they won't say why.
In a press release Friday afternoon, the lab said that the National Nuclear Security Administration has directed it to increase security immediately, meaning vehicles and visitors will be subject to extra checks.
Lab spokesman Kevin Roark said lab officials never discuss the reasons behind security alerts. He did say the order was exclusive to Los Alamos, and not all of the nation's nuclear facilities.
He declined to say if the order had anything to do with a faulty $213 million security system that is being installed around the lab's most sensitive nuclear facilities.
The system was supposed to be up and running this summer. But officials now say it will take an additional $41 million and another six months.
Last month five security workers were fired for taking unauthorized visitors to a shooting range on the campus.

Transformation: From Schoolhouse to Country House
We have an entire clippings file of favorite country homes (just in case!), and this 900 square-foot Catskills schoolhouse charmer, from Country Living, would fit right in. Jason Oliver Nixon, Style Director for Niche Media and designer John Loecke, who together operate John Loecke Inc. found this c.1840 Federal-style former schoolhouse for $30,000! Although it had no closets, second-floor ceilings so low that they couldn't stand upright, and layer upon layer of wallpaper and paint, they knew they had something special. The space required a gut renovation, and they did most of the work themselves.
One of our favorite things in this space is that themed gallery wall. We'd like to do something similar in our own home, but we're keeping our theme a secret. (We don't want any additional eBay competition!)
If you like all the green and want to see more, we recently did a round-up of more homes that were heavy handed with the green.
Country Living has more than a dozen additional photos of the space, and John Loecke Inc. has photos of this space and many others.

By Ewan Roberts
After a humbling FA Cup exit at the hands of Blackburn, currently eighth in the Championship, Arsenal fans are understandably pessimistic ahead of their side's Champions League last-16 clash with German powerhouses Bayern Munich.
Die Roten have lost just twice this season in all competitions, scoring 84 goals and conceding just 15, including only one away from home in the league. Jupp Heynckes's side have a 100 per cent win record in 2013, scoring 13 goals and conceding none. By comparison, Arsenal have won just 19 of their 39 matches in all competitions and have kept six league clean sheets in the process – 10 fewer than Bayern.
The Bundesliga leaders' defensive solidity is largely due to their enormous amount of possession, restricting the opposition's opportunities to build attacks. In the top five leagues in Europe, only Barcelona (69.6%) have averaged more possession than Bayern (63.9%), while only Juventus (33%) have spent more time in the opposition half than the Germans (32%).
|The Gunners must create space in the Bayern backline for Walcott to exploit with his pace
History suggests that it will be Arsenal who buckle. In four matches against Barcelona (in 2010 and 2011), the north London club enjoyed in excess of 40% possession just once. In total, they averaged a pretty meagre 38.7% against the Catalan club.
Should the Gunners come off second best against Bayern, they must ensure that they convert what few chances come their way. Bayern did not concede a shot on target for over four hours until Manuel Neuer, donning three-fingered gloves, was forced to palm Wolfsburg midfielder Diego's effort away on Friday night.
In the top five leagues in Europe, no side have conceded fewer shots than Bayern (7.6 per match), while Arsenal have averaged a measly four shots on target per game in the Champions League – the 24th worst, behind the likes of Celtic and BATE Borisov.
In that context, the possibility of Arsene Wenger dropping Olivier Giroud – as exclusively revealed by Goal.com on Tuesday – would be a shrewd move. The French forward has scored just four of the 19 clear-cut chances that have fallen to him (21%) while Lukas Podolski, the man likely to replace him, has netted 50%.
It is imperative that Arsenal do not fall into the trap of playing more cavalier, attacking football should chances be at a premium. Bayern's form has been consistent both at home (72% win rate and +24 goal difference) and away (90% win rate and +26 goal difference) and they will pick the Gunners apart should they adopt a gung-ho approach. If Arsenal attack too much at home, they risk going to the Allianz Arena with nothing for which to play.
The fight for possession, another key battleground, will likely take place in central midfield where Bayern, though enormously gifted, are less indomitable than the Barca midfields against which Arsenal have struggled in the past. With Podolski playing through the middle, Santi Cazorla will be deployed nominally on the left wing and the Spaniard's natural tendency to drop deep, link play and move infield could help outnumber and overwhelm Bayern.
The former Malaga playmaker would give Arsenal an extra man's advantage in the middle of the pitch and force Toni Kroos deeper to assist Bastian Schweinsteiger and Javi Martinez, thereby isolating Mario Mandzukic.
Thomas Muller, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, who has found his playing time limited since Christmas, like to cut infield; on the one hand that suits the out-of-position Thomas Vermaelen, who is more used to defending central areas, but equally it will create an awful lot of room for Lahm to overlap into and Cazorla must track the Bayern captain's runs or risk leaving Arsenal's left flank exposed.
Such adventurous full-backs, coupled with a willingness to press high and aggressively (a tactic designed to deny Arsenal the time and space in which they thrive), will likely see Bayern play a very high line.
Somewhat ironically, conceding possession to the Germans and allowing the high line could be Arsenal's best chance for victory. The Gunners beat Barcelona 2-1 at home in 2011 by counterattacking and ripped apart Chelsea's Andre Villas-Boas-imposed high line at Stamford Bridge last season, scoring five times. With Podolski spearheading the attack rather than Giroud, the Gunners have an abundance of pace to break into the space behind the Bayern defence.
The main man to benefit would be Theo Walcott. The 23-year-old will be in direct combat with Alaba, who plays very high up the pitch and leaves a lot of room in behind, but both he and left-sided centre-back Dante are extremely quick and capable of dealing with Walcott's pace; veteran Belgian centre-back Daniel Van Buyten, however, is not.
The 35-year-old is the weakest link in the Bayern side and very vulnerable against pace and mobility, so expect Podolski and Walcott to play on that, with the latter drifting inside to split the centre-backs with well-timed inward runs. It is worth noting that no side in the Premier League have scored more goals on the break than Arsenal (five) this season.
|Bayern Munich are 10/1 to beat Arsenal 2-0 with Paddy Power
Should Bayern dominate possession, expect Wilshere to launch Arsenal's fast breaks – just as he did for Andrey Arshavin's winner against Barcelona two years ago – and the Wilshere-Walcott combo could be a source of great joy for the Gunners.
Setting up to counterattack and expose Bayern's high line brings its own risks, though, namely that Arsenal will have to sit back and absorb considerable pressure without possessing the defensive intelligence, solidity or leadership shown, by, for example, the Chelsea side who frustrated Bayern in the Champions League final.
Arsenal have made 22 errors leading to opposition shots this season, with 13 of those resulting in goals – a Premier League high. Injury to Laurent Koscielny could mean that Bacary Sagna moves to centre-back with Carl Jenkinson at right-back; the potential duel between the 21-year-old and Ribery, who has been in exceptional form this year, could be a recipe for disaster.
So Arsenal are presented with a dilemma: counterattacking with the pace of Walcott and the fast transition-initiating ability of Wilshere represents their best chance of scoring but at the same time puts a huge amount of responsibility on a leaky and injury-hit defence.

Ewi Collections Debuts Innovative Art Show
Los Angeles based furnishing importers, EWI Collections, prepares novel art exhibit in Downtown Los Angeles' LA Mart Known as "Art.Life".
"The show aims to fuse the essentials of the living space with the aesthetics of art, crossing and combining traits from both in an attempt to convey the complexity and functionality of art as a living entity as well as life as momentary art piece," said Amy Demirchian, founder of EWI Collections and creator of the show.
Art.Life brings together local artists and manufacturers of international bacKgrounds to fuse both industries in the two-weeK period of the show. Th emphasis is on local as the show wishes to highlight and broadcast Los Angeles' vast artistic and trade talents; wanting to "import from home rather over seas" as Demirchian put it.
The historic LA Mart building, which has been home to furniture and decorative showrooms for the trade industry for fifty-five years, is seeing refreshing innovations under the new direction of Sr. Vice President and General Manager, FranK Joens. Joens has made it clear that he wishes to develop the LA Mart identity further and ensure it's legacy as an essential part of Los Angeles' arts district; "Art.Life" is a step in that direction.
Opening night, which will taKe place March 30th of this year, will be an invitation only event, hosting Los Angeles socialites to the exhibit. The show will be open to the public thereafter. It is important to note that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Hollywood Sunset Free Clinic.
Oskar Rivera Co Producer and also Red Carpet director!
More information can be obtained about the event at ewicollections.com under the "Events" section of the webpage.

With UFC 155 just a couple days away the Twitter Mailbag dives into all the big questions, like what's going to happen to Cain Velasquez if he loses another heavyweight title fight? And will the UFC ever reach PRIDE-era levels of awesomeness with its end-of-the-year event?
All that, plus the usual hand-wringing over women's MMA, concerns over the state of the flyweight division and some discussion of Chris Leben's tale of woe and (possible) redemption.
To ask a question of your own, fire up the Twitter and search for @BenFowlkesMMA. Or you can just follow me wordlessly like a total weirdo.
Rod @therodmartin
@benfowlkesMMA What should Velasquez do if he loses again? Is he too big to drop to light heavyweight?
By far this was the most asked question in this week's Twitter Mailbag. That tells me you fine people have been paying attention to how the UFC deals with fighters after they've gone 0-2 against the current champ. Lose once and you might have to wait around a little while for a rematch. Lose twice and you might grow old waiting for a third shot.
Obviously Cain Velasquez isn't planning on losing another fight to Junior Dos Santos at UFC 155, but if he does lose a lot will depend on how. Should he and JDS go the distance in the heavyweight fight of the decade, it might not be so hard to convince the UFC it's worth doing again somewhere down the line. On the other hand, if he gets knocked out in the first round again, well, then he'll need a plan B.
Cutting to light heavyweight seems like it'd be tough for Velasquez, though not impossible. As much as he might not like the idea, he could eventually discover that he likes it a lot more than treading water in the heavyweight division, waiting for Dos Santos to lose. There's also the chance that Velasquez's AKA teammate Daniel Cormier could be the man to take the belt from Dos Santos, which would provide yet another obstacle. Would he rather fight his teammate or radically alter his diet? Is it better to hang around in purgatory or starve yourself for a fresh start somewhere else? Those aren't easy questions. Fortunately for Velasquez, they're the kind he'll only have to worry about if he loses on Saturday night.
Joe Price @comfortablejoe
@benfowlkesMMA What would a dominant win Saturday do for @toddduffee in your opinion? He's awesome, still young, thoughts?
Maybe more than anyone else at UFC 155, Todd Duffee needs a big win. He got booted out of the UFC under unusual circumstances back in 2010, then wandered the earth from one gym to the next before finally getting the call to come back to the big show when the UFC needed someone to replace Matt Mitrione, who had jumped up to replace Shane Carwin. Point is, this was an opportunity created by circumstance. Now it's up to Duffee to take advantage of that opportunity. Can he do it? I think so. As you pointed out, he's still young and still has tremendous physical gifts. He only needs to get out of his own way and let the world see what he can do. Thumping Phil De Fries would be a great start, and there's no reason to think it won't happen, and in a hurry. I'd get to your laptop early for this Facebook prelim.
Jared @Orderx7
@benfowlkesMMA You think WMMA and more importantly Ronda Rousey is just a fad? Ill tell u, no way I shell out 54.95 for fem. headliner #tmb
Really? UFC 157 has the organization's first female fight (which also happens to feature the UFC's first openly gay fighter), a bout between Dan Henderson and Lyoto Machida that could determine the next light heavyweight title challenger, not to mention Urijah Faber-Ivan Menjivar and Robbie Lawler-Josh Koscheck, and you don't feel it's worth your money all because two women are headlining? That's your prerogative, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Mig Weston @MigsterMMA
@benfowlkesMMA How many women does UFC need to sign before it's not viewed as a novelty? And merry christmas mate.
More than two, definitely. You go look at the UFC's website under "women's bantamweight" and you see only two fighters: the champ and the challenger. Then you go and look at the flyweights – another new division in the UFC – you see 15 names. Hard to make us think you're serious about this if you don't care enough to populate the division the way you would with any other weight class. Still, it's early on in the UFC's women's MMA experiment. Maybe a wave of signings is on the way. Or maybe the UFC plans instead to pluck fighters one at a time from the Invicta ranks. All I know is that if the UFC wants fans to treat this as seriously as any other division, it needs to lead by example.
#knightsec @EliWaterhouse
@benfowlkesMMA when will fighter realize its not "talking your way to a title shot", its "getting fans interested in seein you fight?" #tmb
True, but that's a little like saying that it's not having a high-paying job that's important – it's having a bunch of money. One thing often leads to the other, and in the UFC we've absolutely seen examples of fighters talking their way into title shots. It's especially helpful for guys who don't have the most interesting of fighting styles (looking at you, Chael Sonnen), but who can make up for the temporary lull of action by talking all sorts of mess before and after their fights (yeah, still looking at you).
Here's where we get around to Tim Boetsch, who I suspect is the impetus for this question. He's the most recent fighter to make a big deal about how he's not going to talk his way into a title shot, instead he's just going to keep beating people up until there's nobody left. Of course, you could argue that Boetsch has exactly the kind of style that could benefit from some added entertainment value outside the cage. You could also argue that, judging by his past interviews, he might not be capable of talking his way into a title fight even if he wanted to. Maybe if you're a soft-spoken, grind-it-out wrestler and all-around tough guy, you don't have any choice but to stay patient and keep winning fights.
If Boetsch beats Costa Philippou on Saturday and then suddenly went all "Ravishing" Rick Rude on us in his post-fight interview, we might assume he'd just suffered serious head trauma and needed to be rushed to the hospital. It's too late in the game for him to switch tactics now, so he might as well work with what he's got. Also, isn't making a big deal about how you're not going to talk your way into something kind of a backdoor way of trying to do just that? I'm just saying, it's the most I've seen Boetsch's name in the headlines, and all for talking about how he's not going to do much talking. Maybe "The Barbarian" is sharper than I've given him credit for.
Nate @BurgersMMA
@benfowlkesMMA #TMB Lauzon vs Miller and Guillard vs Varner are prime FOTN candidates. Which do you give the advantage to?
Jamie Varner's been full of surprises since he returned to the UFC, and Melvin Guillard is a guy who went on TV and basically called him a coward and/or a Ferris Bueller-type faker for getting sick before their scheduled meeting at the TUF 16 Finale. You think these two dudes might be ready to tear each other's heads off? Because yeah, my money's on that one delivering some memorable destruction on the FX prelim card.
Seán Sheehan @snsheehan
@benfowlkesMMA #TMB in your opinion who has the better chance of getting a title shot Alan Belcher or Tim Boetsch, eventually, in like 2015
If Alan Belcher can put Yushin Okami away at UFC 155 – and if he's relatively unscathed afterward – I like his chances a lot better than Boetsch's. Maybe that's because I'm working off the assumption that if Boetsch beats Philippou, it will probably be via takedowns and top control. That's a perfectly legitimate way to win, but we've seen Anderson Silva in that fight before. There's little reason to think that fans are dying to see it again, and, as our previous questioner pointed out, that's often what really matters in determining who gets the next shot. As long as Belcher can keep from getting Okami'd for three rounds, he'll have a case worth making.
Dawg Lang Syne @Dawgriguez
@benfowlkesMMA Where "in the mix" is the winner of the Lauzon/Miller fight at UFC 155? #TMB
Unfortunately for both of them, it's a pretty full mix at lightweight right now. We've got Gilbert Melendez coming over from Strikeforce soon. We might also have Eddie Alvarez coming over from Bellator, eventually. Already in the UFC you've got Anthony Pettis, who only needs to beat Donald Cerrone at the next FOX event in order to set up a rematch with his old WEC rival. Where does that leave the winner of the Joe Lauzon-Jim Miller fight? Definitely not first in line, but still in front of the loser. Seems to me that's exactly the kind of situation the phrase "in the mix" was created for. It means we haven't totally forgotten about you, but neither are we planning our futures around you.
Deadpanda @DeadpandaCP
@benfowlkesMMA #TMB Will the UFC ever reach the epicness of Pride New Year's Events? (I couldn't spell, 'epicness' correctly, sorry)
If this is your way of asking whether Zuluzinho will ever fight for the UFC heavyweight title at the big year-end event, I'm afraid I have bad news. If it's your way of suggesting that maybe the big year-end event isn't so big this year, you might have a point. A heavyweight title fight is always a big deal, and there are plenty of other exciting match-ups on this card, but it doesn't quite have that blockbuster buzz, does it? In fairness, the New Year's Eve event is a different sort of deal in Japan, where New Year's Eve itself is a much bigger night for TV viewership. Instead of flooding the bars in search of a stranger to make out with at midnight, the Japanese are more likely to stay home and watch the tube with family, maybe go out to visit a shrine later. You know, the usual.
In the U.S., trying to convince a mostly young male audience to stay home and buy a pay-per-view on a night where there's this weird pressure to have the awesomest time ever is a pretty tough sell. Last year, the UFC even scheduled the event for a Friday just to avoid the headache of running an event on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas. So yes, maybe it's not surprising that the year-end show is becoming simply the last event before the clock runs out. Especially after an injury-riddled 2012, we should probably just be glad that there are enough fighters left standing to have a real event. It might lack the pageantry and the star-power of a Pride NYE event, but at least you won't have to stay home on New Year's to see it.
Rasmus Jarborg @rjarborg
@benfowlkesMMA #TMB With Leonard Garcia relegated to the FB-prelims, does he have what it takes to get back "in the mix"… if he ever was?
If I had to predict what the future will look like for Leonard Garcia, I'd have to say that it will look a lot like the past, only with diminishing returns as the years go on. His style just isn't built for longevity. Even when he tells himself he's going to play it smart, stop trying to brawl it out with every opponent he faces, something happens to him the minute he gets punched in the face. Usually what happens is he turns into a human haymaker machine, then he loses. Garcia is 33 years old now, and he's been so consistently rewarded for that style that I wonder whether he's even capable of change. I'd like to say yes, but I'm not sure I believe it. Maybe the best he can hope for is that one of those haymakers lands in just the right spot against Max Holloway, which in turn might buy him a few more chances to throw them on TV.
David Bowman @ThunderValleyKO
@benfowlkesMMA #TMB how can Cariaso v. Moraga not be televised if they are serious about the flyweight division? #1contmatch
The UFC is in a tough spot with the flyweights. If it puts them out front in a pay-per-view title fight, they get booed. If it sticks them on a FUEL TV event or hides them on the prelims, we wonder how they're ever supposed to build up a fan base for the 125-pounders if too few people get to see them. And having them main event a FOX fight card? You better believe there'll be some griping about that. Damned if you don't, damned if you do. The best approach here might be to hope that Chris Cariaso and John Moraga do something to each other that's worth replaying on the broadcast. Though, with heavyweights Duffee and De Fries also on the Facebook prelims, the competition for replay air time could be pretty stiff.
Josiah Renaudin @JosiahRenaudin
@benfowlkesMMA Is Leban essentially starting over at UFC 155, or is he at risk of getting cut with a second-straight loss/drug problem? #TMB
I don't think you really get to start over when you're a 32-year-old pro fighter with a history like Chris Leben's. What we make of his present and his future is inextricably bound up with what we know of his past. That said, he can afford a loss a lot more than he can afford another failed drug test or DUI.
The UFC likes Leben. You can tell that just by how many chances he's gotten to get his life together. There have been times when it seems like the UFC and the MMA world in general want Leben to be clean and sober and successful even more than he wants it. I think part of that is how open and honest he's been about his struggles. It feels like we've all lived through the ups and downs with him. We remember back when he was just a wild-eyed kid on "The Ultimate Fighter." We also remember when he took a fight he had no business taking against Anderson Silva, and his strategy of "rough-necking" the future champ went horribly. Leben feels like a member of the family in a way that most fighters don't. You know he's had his problems, but when he needs a little money or a ride to an AA meeting, you can't tell him no. That's why we want to see him pull it together and do well, but also why he has more power than most to break our hearts with his own self-destructive impulses.
If Leben goes out on Saturday and gets beaten by Derek Brunson, we can write it off as ring rust. He's been out for more than a year. He needs some time to get his feet under him. It happens. He'll be back. On the other hand, if he wins and then fails a drug test, or goes home to Hawaii and gets in trouble with drugs and/or alcohol again, that'll be much more serious. It'll also probably be much tougher to bounce back from. You never know how many chances you'll get to turn your life around, but each one you burn through leaves you a little closer to the end of the line.

An apology to Derek Fisher
By Basketbawful at 9:40 AM
0 comments
I'm almost ashamed to admit this now, but I used to
Derek Fisher. I mean, he was a Laker for god's sake...and that made him The Enemy. Watching Derek Fisher break down and cry after the the Spurs eliminated the Lakers in Game 6 of the 2003 Western Conference Semifinals was seriously one of my happiest moments of my basketball-watching life. Conversely, watching Fisher hit
The Shot That Dethroned The Spurs
in Game 5 of the 2004 Western Conference Semifinals was one of the worst, and it only made me hate him all the more.
When Fisher left Los Angeles for Golden State, I laughed with devilish glee, because not only did it signal the glorious end of the Lakers' mini-dynasty, it also meant that he was doomed to under-perform on a crappy team...a fitting end for someone so reviled.
But then he went to Utah Jazz, a team I quietly root for year after year. I was decidely not happy, especially this season when the team appeared strong but doomed by Fisher's inability to stick opposing 2-guards on defense (seriously, Derek gave up a half-dozen 50-point games). I even went so far as to tell a friend, who's a Lakers fan, that Fisher was "my Smush Parker."
Well, I was wrong, okay?
Fisher's a true leader with a huge heart. He's also a brave and loving father.
Yesterday, he scored 21 points -- 14 of which came in the 4th quarter -- to help the Jazz stick a knife in the hearts of the upstart Warriors and their rabid fans. What made the win even more amazing was the fact that it happened in Oakland, where nobody was supposed to be able to win this postseason. In fact, Baron Davis became so unhinged he took a cheap shot in the form of a Macho Man Randy Savage-esque elbow smash across Fisher's mug. That was followed later by a Jason Richardson clothesline on Mehmet Okur, and suddenly the Warriors had transformed from the babyface to the heel.
But none of that is important. What's really important is what I have to say right here and now:
Derek? I'm sorry.
Excuse me, Derek. How did you
become so freaking awesome?
Derek Fisher
Golden State Warriors
Los Angeles Lakers
Utah Jazz

Enrico Fedele, the agent of Napoli centre-back Paolo Cannavaro, has claimed that the side "lack the winning mentality" necessary to compete for the title with Juventus.
Coach Walter Mazzarri's men currently sit second in Serie A, four points behind champions Juve, and the player's representative feels the team need to push themselves to succeed.
"They lack the winning mentality and the only way you earn it is over time," he told Radio Crc.
"In order to aim for the Scudetto, Napoli would have to win all [the games], starting from Udinese on Monday.
"As a fan, I hope Napoli can win the title. As a professional in the football world, I say this is just a dream."
However, he says a second-placed finish would already be considered a great achievement for the side, adding: "The truth is Napoli have to lock down this second place.
"That would already be a great success and part of their progress."
Napoli will be looking to bounce back from their 3-0 Europa League defeat at Viktoria Plzen last week, as they prepare for the second leg of the tie on Thursday, February 21.

Penn State's football program may be on its way to the cathartic comeback predicted here and there at the beginning of the season. After starting the year with consecutive losses to a very good Ohio University team and a pretty bad UVA team, Bill O'Brien's squad has won four straight, including its two games against Big 10 opponents and total blowouts against Navy and Illinois.
Down 28-17 after three today, the Nittany Lion offense scored 22 in the fourth quarter, including a five-yard run from Quarterback Matt McGloin that put them up for good. Sophomore running back Zach Zwinak racked up 121 high-impact yards, and the Penn State defense held Northwestern to 23 yards of offense in the final quarter.
Even if Penn State wins aren't cathartic for you in any way, this was a victory we could all enjoy, for it made many a Northwestern school of journalism grad nauseous. That includes our favorite Wildcat of all:
And if you missed the GIF of Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald getting wiped down by an assistant, well, it's pretty great. Penn State gets a bye week to bask in the love, then heads to Iowa.

Slightly off-topic ...

Who was in the wings, ready to do that arm-scissor challenge start signal, or belittle people in challenges, or offer up meaningless food for thought as a tribe leaves tribal council?I'm thinking they have to have a plan. It's not like they can suspend taping. The show must go on.

2013 WNYMBA Racing
With the 2013 race season starting just after the holidays with the 2nd annual Winterfest Race in late January, I thought some discussions about racing/riding would be nice since the weather is not cooperating for riding. To start it off, slower_than_u has written an article about passing, which touches on general race etiquette. I have also started a new topic in the forums HERE, where anyone can go in and post a comment or question.

Appellate Clinic
Faculty: Professor Bruce La Pierre
To view the latest brochure article, click here
Students in the Appellate Clinic represent pro se litigants in cases to be heard on appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. After the Clerk of the Court assigns cases at the beginning of the semester, students handle all aspects of the appeal, including motions, filings, and briefs. This clinic calls for extensive research and writing. One student argues each case. Enrollment is limited to 8 students per semester.
Professor Bruce La Pierre, a veteran constitutional law professor and experienced appellate advocate, developed this clinical course. Brian C. Walsh, a partner at Bryan Cave LLP and an adjunct professor, assists in instructing the clinic students. Michael Gans, JD '77, Clerk of the Court for the court of Appeals, also assists with the course.
- Michael Gans
"The Appellate Clinic performs an essential service for the Eighth Circuit by taking on a pro bono basis difficult pro se cases that members of the court's bar may not be able to accept. Everyone benefits: the court gets well-written and carefully researched briefs, the students get the opportunity to work on actual cases, and the litigants who might otherwise go without counsel receive high-quality representation from highly motivated students working under the guidance and direction of experienced appellate advocates."
STUDENTS: Click here to view information about the Appellate Clinic. This handout provides general information that will be helpful for you to know before registering.

The room at the Lodge at Four Seasons was packed full of Citizens Against Domestic Violence Supporters on Wednesday for their annual brunch.
The room at the Lodge at Four Seasons was packed full of Citizens Against Domestic Violence Supporters on Wednesday for their annual brunch.
The annual event has grown throughout the years. This year, ten new tables were added to the room and a record high of proceeds were donated.
October is a month full of fundraisers for the organization since it is domestic violence awareness month. The brunch was held as a fundraiser and to raise awareness for the current needs at the shelter.
One of their biggest needs is for more SART volunteers. SART — Sexual Assualt Response Team — responds to both sexual and domestic assault calls. Medical personnel, law enforcement and a CADV representative are all called in when a case comes in. This way, the victim only has to discuss their experience one time.
"We try to make it simply by all coming together," Kellie Walters with CADV said.
CADV steps in and finds out what the victim needs whether that is information, resources, a place to stay, clothing or tangible goods.
"We provide what they need or the resources to get it," Walters said.
Volunteers for this position do not have to be highly trained when they sign up. According to Walters, CADV is looking for "anyone with a passion for helping people."
When a volunteer signs up, a background check will be done and then they will be trained by the shelter staff.
If this volunteer position is not for you, CADV still has other needs.
"We still have a lot of needs. SART is our biggest one right now," Walters said.
Volunteers are able to set their own schedule but need to be available for all hours of the day on days they are on call.
To find out more, contact CADV by calling 573-346-9630.
So far in 2013, CADV has...
covered 354 hotline calls
provided 2,066 bed nights
assisted 276 new victims and 430 ongoing victims
provided support for 49 SART hospital calls
provided free counseling to 316 women in need

Mike Trout's two-run homer in the ninth only delayed the Athletics' celebration, as Josh Donaldson's RBI double in the 11th inning sent Oakland past the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 10-9, on Tuesday.
The second meeting of this three-game AL West series saw plenty of momentum swings, as LA scored four runs in the fourth to take a 6-3 lead, only to have the A's get two back in the seventh and put up four in their next at-bat.
David Freese's RBI single in the eighth brought the Angels within two runs at 9-7, and Sean Doolittle, who is trying to earn Oakland's closer's role from an ineffective Jim Johnson, couldn't hold the lead in the ninth.
Kole Calhoun, who went 3-for-6 with a two-run homer, opened the inning with a double, and Trout followed with his fifth home run of the season, one that landed in the rocks beyond the wall in left-center and set off the fireworks.
The celebration was premature, however, as Doolittle settled down to force extras and Johnson (2-2) pitched a perfect 10th prior to Oakland pushing across the game-winning run against Yoslan Herrera (0-1).
Jed Lowrie opened the 11th with his third hit of the night, and Donaldson chased him home with a double into the left-field corner to cap his own three- hit effort.
Johnson put the go-ahead run on second in the bottom half before grounding out Howie Kendrick to secure Oakland's fourth consecutive victory.
Trout opened the scoring with an RBI double in the bottom of the first and later scored on Kendrick's two-out base hit to center.
The A's answered with three runs in the third, as Eric Sogard and Lowrie each drove in a run sandwiched around John Jaso's RBI groundout.
Calhoun's two-out, two-run homer in the fourth capped a four-run inning for the Angels and ended Dan Straily's outing prematurely. The hosts pushed two across earlier in the frame when Chris Iannetta's RBI double was compounded by a Yoenis Cespedes error that allowed another run to score.
Sogard singled in a run and Craig Gentry scored on a wild pitch in the seventh, and Oakland retook the lead with four runs against Joe Smith in the eighth.
Brandon Moss evened things with an RBI base hit that ate up Albert Pujols at first, and after Cespedes worked a walk to load the bases, Alberto Callaspo singled to right to plate Donaldson with the go-ahead run.
Jose Alvarez relieved Smith and was greeted by a pinch-hit, two-run double back through the middle by Derek Norris.

Resmon system monitoring tool
Resmon is a lightweight utility for local host monitoring that can be queried by tools such as nagios over http. One of the main design goals is portability: that resmon should require nothing more than a default install of Perl. Built with the philosophy that "we are smart because we are dumb," that is, local requirements should be minimal to ease deployment on multiple platforms.
Apps supporting Resmon output
- Circonus
- Munin with the circonus-munin bridge.
- Perl 5
- Some modules will require specific commands to be installed, such as subversion for the SVN checks, but these are module specific.
Currently there is no release version. The latest version of Resmon can be checked out via git from github
git clone git://labs.omniti.com/resmon.git
For those of you with push access, you should use the ssh url:
git clone email@example.com:resmon.git
An older release of resmon is also available in the resmon1 branch:

Former workmates of a Doncaster woman who died from a rare industrial disease could hold vital clues to how she may have contracted it, say her family.
Shouna English died less than a month after she was diagnosed with a lung disease caused by a deadly dust.
The family of the former factory worker, who died from the asbestos-related cancer, are now appealing for her former colleagues to come forward to help with an investigation into how she was exposed to the 'silent killer'.
Mrs English, who lived in Rossington, died in February 2013 aged 69, just three weeks after she was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a cancer in the lining of the lungs.
An inquest was held last October and the diagnosis of mesothelioma was confirmed.
Her family have now instructed asbestos lawyers at Sheffield law firm Irwin Mitchell to investigate when and where she was exposed to the material and to find out if more could have been done to protect her. The family said: "We hope that anyone who thinks they can help will get in touch with our legal team as quickly as possible."
During the 1960s, Shouna, who was also known as Sally, worked for Glass Bulbs, which has now been dissolved, at their factory on Snape Lane in Harworth, Doncaster.
Working in the main part of the factory, her job was to pack bulbs from a conveyor belt which was made of asbestos and carried hot glass products. She also wore asbestos gloves on a daily basis and worked with asbestos tape and friction pads.
As Shouna worked in the main part of the factory, she may have also worked in the close vicinity of heating and plumbing engineers, who regularly carried out repair and maintenance work to the pipes, which were lagged with wet-mix asbestos cement.
At the time of her employment, Rossington was populated with many migrant workers from Scotland and the North East – Shouna herself was originally from Scotland and she spoke with a Scottish accent.
The family are now appealing for Shouna's former work colleagues to come forward with any information about working conditions there.
* Anyone who may be able to help with information about the working conditions at Glass Bulbs in Harworth, during the 1960s, is asked to call Laura at Irwin Mitchell on 0114 274 4420 or email email@example.com

Jo-Ann Fabric to Open in Former Publix at Butler Plaza/
By Anthony Clark | The Gainesville Sun
Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft will open a 36,000-square-foot store next year in the long-vacant former Publix location in the Esplanade at Butler Plaza.
The company wants to open before the end of the second quarter of 2014, preferably in the first quarter, but has "fairly considerable" construction to do, said Seth Lane of Front Street Commercial Real Estate Group, which handles leasing for the Esplanade.
A Jo-Ann spokeswoman did not return a call for comment Friday.
Jo-Ann closed its 12,000-square-foot store in the Millhopper Shopping Center in January 2010 to make way for a larger Publix. Prior to that, several sources said the company was looking for a larger space for a superstore and would close its two smaller Gainesville stores, including the one that remains open at 1220 NW 76th Blvd.
Lane confirmed that Jo-Ann still plans to close the 76th Boulevard location.
The coming store is one of many changes to the oldest part of Butler Plaza at 3610 Archer Road.
4 Rivers Smokehouse opened Thursday in the former McAlister's Deli, which moved last year to the former Ashley's Pub.
Guitar Center will open its 8,000-square-foot musical instrument store on Thursday.
Cox Communications has signed a lease to put in a Cox Solutions Store in a few months where customers can sign up for service, pay bills, exchange equipment and see features such as high-definition service.
Jo-Ann offers products for quilting, apparel, craft and home decor sewing, as well as components, tools and kits for crafters. The Hudson, Ohio-based company operates 790 stores in 49 states.
The arts and crafts retailer Hobby Lobby also plans to open a Gainesville store next year, in place of the just-closed Stein Mart.

It's the "eyes" that get me the most but it would be cool if the monsters in the mist were more elephants. I could see the water being so deep near where Thriller Bark was anchored that what we see during the final pages of that story are actually just the trunks of several elephants.
If the tip of Zou's snout has a pair of sparkly anything I'll really start to believe it. I know we've seen it already but maybe on the other side? Of course multiple people could have been riding the elephant trunks as look outs when the whole animal goes underwater.
All random guesses but a way to potentially explain some things if the two are connected.

TULSA, Okla. — A judge has refused to dismiss a civil lawsuit that accuses a Tulsa megachurch of trying to cover up the rape of a 13-year-old girl by a worker on the church's campus.
The Victory Christian Center had argued that the girl's mother, who filed the suit, was not entitled to any relief under the law. A judge on Monday rejected the church's request to dismiss the lawsuit.
Ex-janitor Chris Denman was sentenced to 55 years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple sex-related charges. Denman admitted raping the teenage girl in a stairwell on church property.
The lawsuit accuses employees of not reporting the August rape to the authorities while the church conducted an in-house investigation.
The mother is seeking more than $75,000 in damages. See Chick's REV. WONDERFUL.
