Joe Davis was one of the most clear, powerful, and precise lead trumpeters to ever grace the Hollywood studio scene. He was also an absolutely phenomenal jazz player, which made him one of a kind. Every studio trumpeter I've spoken with has said that he's one of the most incredible trumpet players with whom they've ever worked - some even calling him "freakish". Some said he's THE most incredible one. Studio trombonist Alex Iles said, "Joe would play stuff that left us all dumfounded". Wayne Bergeron said, "Joe was a hero of mine. He was also one of the funniest cats I've ever known." His feats in the studio are now the stuff of legend. Rest in peace, Joe Davis.

A pair of former Santa Barbara assemblymen is seeking to have the 35th Assembly District redrawn so that its boundaries coincide with the boundaries of Santa Barbara County.
But they may not have the numbers to make that work.
The Citizens Redistricting Commission is taking public testimony from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. this evening at the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors chambers, 1055 Monterey St., San Luis Obispo.
Former Assemblymen Pedro Nava, a Democrat, and Brooks Firestone, a Republican, said in a news release that they will ask the commission this evening to redraw the lines in a way that puts Santa Barbara County in one Assembly district.
Under the current boundaries, the 33rd Assembly District, represented by Katcho Achadjian, R-San Luis Obispo, includes the northern part of Santa Barbara County, from Santa Maria roughly down to Lompoc.
The Nava-Firestone proposal will fall short in at least one way: Each new district drawn by the commission must have 465,674 people. The 2011 U.S. Census reported Santa Barbara County has 423,895 residents.
Should the former lawmakers prevail, the 35th District, currently represented by Democrat Das Williams, would have to include voters from one of its surrounding counties.
The district currently includes part of Ventura County.
Achadjian told The Tribune today that he would not like to lose Northern Santa Barbara County. However the commission redraws the lines, they do it with the understanding that San Luis Obispo County is an agricultural and tourism area and should be paired with similar areas.
The commission was created by voters seeking more fairness in state and congressional elections.
Under the Constitution, the state must redraw legislative districts every 10 years. The Legislature has been doing a poor job of it, voters decided.
Their votes in 2008 and 2010 created the 14-member commission to take the redistricting out the hands of legislators who, voters felt, have historically redrawn lines in a way that protects incumbents in both the Democratic and Republican parties.

State bill would exempts LTC facilities from liquor permits
Nursing homes should be allowed to serve alcohol to residents without having to pay excise taxes or permits, according to a group of Indiana seniors who want to gain an exemption from the state.
Three residents of the Meadowood Retirement Community spearheaded a legislative drive after their community was cited by state inspectors for violating the law. The legislation would exempt nursing homes and other long-term care facilities from having to gain permits to serve alcohol.The bill was introduced by Rep. Tom Dermody (R) on Wednesday at a House committee hearing. The measure was tabled.
The Indiana Health Care Association supports the proposal, asserting that nursing homes and retirement communities shouldn't be treated the same as restaurants.
"This is a nursing home, not a nursing bar and grill," the IHCA's legislative and public affairs director, Dennis Neary, told the Lafayette Journal & Courier.

What are the latest technology trends in real
Over the past few decades, technology has changed the way we interact with several different markets. As you're
probably aware, international real estate is no different! It
used to be unthinkable to buy a property without seeing it for yourself. Now, this happens every day. This is just
one of the ways the global property market has been changed by technological progress.
One of the most noticeable ways technology has affected the real estate market is through accessibility. These
days, more people are able to invest than ever before. Through a variety of digital tools, people can now virtually
look around a property, and chat with agents tied to it. This allows you to confirm important information within
seconds. It doesn't matter if you're in London and the home is in Tokyo or vice versa! Further tools are committed to monitoring
market conditions, stepping around capital gains tax strategy and much more. There are now countless resources out there
designed to make property investment easier. Investment is steadily becoming something that anyone can do! This
is certain to have a big impact on the global market in the future.
Partnerships and agreements are also a lot more accessible through the use of modern technology. Back when there
were only traditional channels, investing in a foreign market was extremely hard. You had to make a lot of contacts
tied to your target market, usually through referrals or associates. This made foreign markets very inaccessible;
reserved only for the most successful property investors. These days, the arena is totally different. Now, anyone
with an internet connection can start building a network. When looking to invest, it'll be easy for you to connect with other players, and
verify their history and credentials. Instant communication has made the world much smaller, and investors are
doing everything to help that. As this becomes a larger part of investment, we're expecting to see more and more
transparency in the property market.
One final, overarching change is the increased number of options available to investors now. Recent years have
seen the emergence of a few crowdfunding platforms specifically for the real estate market. Here, we can see a
long-running wealth gap steadily beginning to close. These crowdfunding tools are expected to provide
individuals and smaller companies with the same opportunities as global real estate giants. Many real estate
investors already have access to a larger range of opportunities, more promising than what they'd had before.
Obviously, progress is a little jumpy and unpredictable. The property market is large and complex. Many of these
new technologies are still finding their place, and waiting to catch on. However, as more and more investors
discover the benefits of these platforms, they'll begin to shape the market more visibly.
Technology continues to move quickly ahead, and the property market is moving with it. As you explore this tech,
remember that it's only as good as its content. While various apps and sites make dealings easier, they'll never
replace a keen understanding of the industry.

The auguries for Pure Advantage are not as strong as they might be.
By the time you read this column, the powerfully resourced green growth lobby group Pure Advantage will have published the results of a research project between the University of Auckland Business School and a London consultancy, Vivid Economics. Released for publication November 15, the report represents the start of the most ambitious phase of the Pure Advantage campaign plan. Over coming months, its organisers will seek corporate leaders to champion a brace of the most promising areas for accelerated green growth at both the political and commercial levels.
How well that works is anybody's guess. The intent can't be faulted, and the existence of a bold plan of action is laudable. But the auguries for Pure Advantage are not as strong as they might be. Without wanting to rain on the parade of a worthy cause, there are three big problems.
First, there's the naivety of the Pure Advantage leadership. There are some big names amongst its primary backers, such as Air New Zealand boss Rob Fyfe and Mitt Romney's would-be helper Chris Liddell, but chairman Rob Morrison, brother of the late Lloyd, comes across as a late convert to environmentalism, although his investment banking background gives Pure Advantage commercial credibility that environmental NGOs often lack.
Second problem: the Key administration's wilful rejection of the Pure Advantage initiative. Apparently because it involves Labour-linked figures such as Philip Mills, of Les Mills gym franchise fame, senior ministers have gone tribal on Pure Advantage. They prefer the safer 'smart, greenish' growth proposed by its Green Growth Advisory Group, chaired by Business New Zealand's Phil O'Reilly. The result is a failure of imagination that
hands Pure Advantage to the Opposition parties at a time when the Government is losing second-term momentum in a way that feels more like the decline of a third-term administration.
It seems the centre-right Government doesn't believe it can pursue well-regulated mineral and hydrocarbon extraction at the same time as actively welcoming initiatives that would bolster our global reputation as a clean food producer and tourism destination, and a smart, innovative place.
This failure is casting every other environmental policy reform the Government is pursuing in a bad light. Shorter timelines for resource consents, the first ever regime to regulate exploitation of the Exclusive Economic Zone and moves to improve affordable housing are all positives that don't have to sacrifice environmental bottom lines. But the Government seems almost to be wishing for that outcome. Inexplicably hostile acts such as canning the five-yearly State of the New Zealand Environment reporting – a National initiative of the 1990s – give the sense of a Government hell-bent on an agenda that pits the economy and the environment against one another.
That dichotomy didn't exist when Nick Smith was Environment Minister and the Cabinet's strongest voice for the environment. With Environment Minister Amy Adams at the helm, such nuance has been all but swept aside. Instead of laying claim to a credible 'blue-green' agenda, National looks increasingly 'blue-blue' on the environment, as in the navy blue reefer jackets so ubiquitous at National Party regional conferences.
This is a turn-off for urban swing voters who might've flirted with National at the last election, but it probably shores up the rural heartlands. National is moving backwards in its thinking on the environment. It doesn't bode well for Pure Advantage.
Thirdly, however, there is the vexed question of what Pure Advantage can actually deliver.
For all the shortcomings of National's approach, the reality is that without subsidies – which New Zealand governments don't do and which European and American Governments have been regretting owing to their expense and mixed results – a lot of green growth initiatives currently fail at the commercial hurdle. Of course, subsidies might be unnecessary if the global price of carbon were high enough to make some green technologies competitive with fossil fuels, but that is largely out of the Government's hands.
For all that it is guilty now of having the developed world's weakest emissions trading scheme, New Zealand's super-low carbon prices are just part of a wider global phenomenon. Carbon prices will rise eventually, but it might take another 10 years.
Until that happens, the business case for many green growth initiatives will continue to fall flat. New Zealand may be both wise and left with little choice than to be a 'fast follower' of global green growth trends. But there's not much of a campaign in that.

Powhatan Records
Character of an Indian Chief
The Centinel (Gettysburg, Pennsylvania) October 30 1811
History presents few instances of greater valor and magnanimity, than are displayed in the character of Opechanchanaugh, an Indian Chief. Bold, artful, insinuating, skilled in dissimulation and intrigue, he for many years kept the early settlers of Virginia in a state of continual alarm and more than once menaced them with destruction.
Although so decrepit by age as to be unable to walk, he commanded in person and directed from the litter on which he was borne, the onset and retreat of his warriors at the massacre of 1641, which almost exterminated the Colonists.
|The excessive fatigues of this campaign completed the wreck of his constitution, his
flesh wasted away and his sinews lost their elasticity; so that his eye lids hung over the balls and obscured their
sight. In this forlorn condition, bending under the weight of years and worn out by the hardships of war, he was
surprised, taken captive and carried to James Town, where he was basely shot by one of the soldiers appointed to
guard him.
To the last moment his courage remained unbroken. Like the staff of Moses, it supported him in adversity and prosperity, in sickness and in death. Just before he expired, "He heard," says the historian "unusual bustle in his prison. Having ordered his attendants to lift up his eye lids, he discovered a number of persons crowding round him for the purpose of gratifying an unreasonable and cruel curiosity. The dying chief felt this indignity with a keenness of sensibility the more violent and unforeseen. It was a burst of passion, a momentary ascendency of nature over the habits of education, and its exhibition and effect must be acknowledged to correspond with the greatness of the occasion.
Without deigning to notice the intruders, he raised himself from the earth and with a voice and tone of authority commanded that the governor should be immediately called in. When he made his appearance, Opechanchanaugh scornfully told him, "had it been his fortune to have taken Sir William Berkeley prisoner, he would not meanly have exposed him as a show to his people."
What nobleness of spirit! What matchless heroism! At the age of an hundred years; blind, unable to stand; wounded and a captive, his courage was unsubdued. The prospect of power and incentive of example are the usual sources of splendid actions. It remains for the great soul to preserve its equanimity in the gloom of dungeons and embrace of death.
The exploits of this extraordinary man in the vigor of life are unknown to us. We saw him only for a short time on the edge of the horizon; but from the luster of his departing beams, we may easily conceive what he was in his meridian blaze.

It's been a busy start back to the new term!
Our new topic for the summer term is 'Harpenden-Our Local Area'. We have begun by looking at the wider area: The children have been using atlases to study maps of the World and the United Kingdom. They have been introduced to terms such Equator, Longitude and Latitude. The children were able to identify different counties in England and describe their location in relation to each other using compass directions. This week the children were exploring a map of Harpenden and using grid references to identify landmarks such as St. Nicholas Church, the Railway Station and even St. Dominics Primary School! Later on in the term we will study the History of Harpenden.
In Literacy this term we have been studying poems by Grace Nicholls, John Foster and Valerie Bloom. The children have produced a range of different poems throughout this unit including shape poems, choral poems, haikus and cinquains. They never fail to impress me with their ability to write fantastic poetry. They have been working hard to include figurative language in their poems, such as similes, metaphors and personification. Next week we will begin our fiction unit 'Iron Man'.
In Maths this week we have been practicing our times tables! We have also been using the vertical method to multiply 3 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers, 2 digit numbers by 2 digit numbers and amounts of money. The children have been estimating first by rounding to the nearest 10 or 100. Next week in Maths we will be using Roman Numerals and calculating the area of complex shapes.
Our new topic in Science this term is 'Living Things'. I have been amazed by the children's prior knowledge of this particular topic; it is clearly something that interests many of them. We have been busy identify the habitats of animals and classifying them using branching diagrams. We hope to go on a nature walk of the school grounds next week-weather permitting!
Just a reminder that swimming lessons will be starting next Friday 6th May at 9:30am. Please ensure your child has a swimming costume (girls) or swimming trunks (boys). They will also need a swimming hat but goggles are optional. Thank you to those parents who have already handed in the money and reply slip, Mrs O'Mahony is busy arranging a rota for those parents who are able to walk to/from the pool.

Violation of Probation in Fort Walton Beach
Being charged with violating the terms of your probation is a serious offense, one that can often result in extended jail time upon conviction. If you have been accused, or are worried about a pending violation of your probation or community control in Fort Walton Beach, you need an experienced legal team by your side that can help you effectively fight these charges and try to keep you from serving jail time. The level of proof in a violation is significantly reduced. This means that the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard you had when you were charged is gone. Let our team force the State to prove the violation against you. Additionally, it is imperative that you continue to meet with your assigned probation officer, as you will still be held to the existing standards of your probation or community control, even if you are currently in violation status.
Common Causes of Probation Violation in Fort Walton Beach
Individuals who are charged with Violation of Probation (VOP) or Violation of Community Control (VOCC) in Fort Walton Beach usually face these charges as a result of a number of common issues, such as the following:
- Failing to report for monthly meeting
- Being arrested for a secondary offense
- Moving / changing residences without receiving approval ahead of time
- Breaking a no-contact order
- Failing to pay necessary fines / costs
- Failing a urinalysis or breath test
- Breaking any of other explicitly stated terms of your probation
Should any of the above occur, a judge will be presented with a warrant application and affidavit of violation. Once the judge reviews and signs the warrant application, the warrant becomes active, and you could subsequently be arrested by law enforcement. Fortunately, there are legal options available to individuals who find themselves in a similar situation, and our Fort Walton Beach legal team at Flaherty Defense Firm is here to help keep clients accused of probation or community control violations out of jail.
Contact a Probation Violation Lawyer to Learn More
Charges involving violation of your probation or community control can have very serious consequences, but an attorney with experience handling these cases can fight to maintain your freedom and avoid harsh additional sentencing. At Flaherty Defense Firm, our Fort Walton Beach legal team knows what it takes to protect your rights and your freedoms in the face of VOP or VOCC charges, and we are ready to put this experience to work by fighting for you.

Future military balance likely to tilt in favour of China against India, says US expertDecember 15th, 2007 - 8:03 pm ICT by admin
By Sudhakar Jagdish
New Delhi, Dec 15 (ANI): India's military power vis-a-vis China is presently relatively balanced, but in the next decade or two, New Delhi would find it difficult to counter any offensive from Beijing, considering the fast pace of modernisation being undertaken by the Chinese forces.
"Sino-India military balance is relatively stable…, but it would not be true in a decade or two," said noted US strategic expert Dr. Ashley J. Tellis during a seminar titled 'Chinese Military Modernisation And Asian Security', here on Saturday.
Dr. Tellis, who played a crucial role in initiating the talks between India and the United States on the civil nuclear cooperation agreement and has carried out research on China's military strength, said that Beijing in its pursuit of fast economic growth would not like to spoil existing international peace, though it will not be deterred from being involved in small tactical operations.
In his opinion, India is threat number two for the Chinese and follows Japan, which remains Beijing's arch-rival in the region.
Dr. Tellis discounted fears of Chinese using nuclear missiles as artillery fires against India in a future conflict. He said that any future Sino-India conflict would remain a limited one, but skirmishes would occur along the disputed 3700-km long border.
He said that as per his inference China is not keen to resolve border or territorial disputes with either Japan or India, since Beijing thinks that in the days ahead as it emerges as a powerful nation, it would be able to get a better deal.
"They still think that they can wait, and they can have a better deal when they become strong," he said.
On the issue of concerns being raised in New Delhi that China is trying to carve out its sphere of influence in the sub-continent and contain India, Dr. Tellis said that evidences to indicate such a plan is a 'mixed' one and theories of 'encirclement strategy' could be overstated.
China is maintaining the option of adopting encirclement strategy, he said, adding that as of now, it could also be diversionary tactics.
"India needs to neutralise Chinese influence in the region," he said.
He lauded the Indian Air Force (IAF) for producing the best pilots in the world, but added that they need to fully utilise the technologies of the aircraft flown by them and should train for high altitude operations.
He said to maintain the balance with the Chinese military; India should concentrate on three aspects- improvements in its firepower capabilities, increased logistic mobility and enhancement of its communication network. (ANI)

Episode 07
Let me start by saying that with all the hype and talk that Junie
promoted himself he should have beat Roli in the first round. Junie
was first pick overall and fought the last pick overall. Either Roli
was just better than everyone expected or Junie really wasn't as
good as he said he was. I chose the latter. He was upset with his
performance and so was Mir. I would be too if I was him. He barely
won the fight. Junie only has a few weeks to heal and sharpen up his
skills before the semi's. I remember him coming home after the fight
with huge ankle from getting and giving kicks.. I can honestly say
Roli might have humbled him a bit. Might I emphasis the words "a bit"
especially for a guy like Junie. I give respect to Roli for being the
underdog and fighting his heart out. He also has many tools he must
improve including his stand up and over all strength. I just know Roli
is the kind of person to take that fight home to the drawing board,
except his flaws, and come back better.
I guess you can finally see my baking abilities. I can't tell you how
much my girlfriend laughed after seeing my cake for big Nog. All I can
say is it came from the heart. I'm not the most experienced baker but
I tried. Looks can be deceiving. Nog and the team said my cake was
tasty! Jules cake was even better with all that cookie dough inside!
Man I'm getting hungry writing this. Nog must have really liked us to
come over for his birthday. He could have done anything else. But he
came over to share his moment with us. Again I must say how proud I am
to be on the red team. After hearing the comments from Nelson and
Vinny I couldn't stop laughing. They called us gay and said we take
showers together! haha. The blue team is just a bunch of haters! They
wish they had the love we had! Just because we all fight in a cage for
living doesn't mean we can't show some love for each other. Of coarse
in a completely straight and non-gay fashion! We really did cook,
clean, eat, train, go to sleep and wake up together! In different beds
of course! It made time go by faster and helped a lot.
I never knew that Vinny and Nog had a fall out like that. I know Vinny
can run his mouth a bit sometimes. He talks much about the "girls"
which is funny. In the Philippines we'd call Vinny a Playboy. He's
the kind of guy that young girls want, but mothers should watch out
for. I do think that Vinny's Jiu-Jitsu level is world class. He
really is a freak of nature on the ground. But you should never
disrespect the world champ. He did call Nog's Jiu-Jistu "basic". You
really have to watch what you say on reality TV. Everything is
captured. Vinny is still a little fish in MMA compared to Big Nog -the
great white shark! He did apologies for his actions and I don't know
if they made up off camera.
Jules is a really nice guy. I'm sad to say that his skill level wasn't
up to par with most of the guys on the show. Especially his ground
game. He was pretty much a white belt on the ground. He had absolutely
no chance on the ground against Vinny. He did have a chance on the
feet with him. But he didn't execute the plan. He was suppose to throw
his hands. Let his strikes go and stay away from the clinch or any
take downs. I thought the game plan was stick and move. I think was
overwhelmed and was afraid to commit punches. I think he threw 2
punches in the whole fight.
Next week the light weights go at it! I can't wait!

Episode 06
didn't get in that cage soon. As you all can see Junie decided to pick
Delgado. It was a smart pick for him. Delgado didn't win his fight to
get in the house so Junie thought he would be an easy kill. On the
show the editing made Delgado's black belt look really fake. From a
first hand experience and rolling with the guy, I can see he really
did deserve a black belt. Black belts come at all different levels. He
might not be in the ranks of Vinny or Elliot on the show but he sure
did feel like a black belt. I also do think he had way better
Jiu-Jitsu then Junie. That's why during the fight Junie never wanted
hit the ground with Delgado.
Junie is just full of surprises. The incident where he pulled out the
black belt and spit on it wasn't only disrespectful to Roli. He
disrespected the art itself and all the black belts in the room. All I
remember is Anderson Silva that day looking really pissed off and
saying something in Portuguese that probably meant "That guy Junie is
a an asshole." Anderson Silva is the last person you ever want to piss
off. Junie doesn't seem to have a problem with that. Even Mir himself
didn't approve of his antics. However he also didn't punish him for
it. If I was Mir I would refuse to teach him and corner him.
I never understood this concept a lot of fighters display. That is
downgrading your opponents abilities before the fight to make yourself
look better. What this actually does is make your opponent look
unskilled and if you beat him, so what. You just beat someone who you
said "sucks" anyway. So how much better can you be if you accused your
opponent of "sucking." The smart fighter would not underestimate an
adversary. Instead praise him up for being well skilled in his craft
and formidable in the cage. This way when you beat him it only makes
you look better because you beat someone who is good. So you must be
really good at fighting. Anyone can beat a scrub so why call your
opponent a scrub?
The fight went the distance. I didn't think Junie had the conditioning
to go the full three rounds but he did. With all that drinking
alcohol and eating frozen pizzas he still managed to pull out a
victory. Junie is pretty athletic but he would be so much better if
he just focused and cleaned up his act. I really wanted Delgado to
win that fight. They both fought there hearts out. I have to hand it
to them. For the days following the fight they were both really beat
up limping around the house. I know Junie went to the hospital for an
almost broken ankle and Delgado had two black eyes.

Episode 05
The show started off as a continuation of Junie's antics. We recapped the fight between Nelson and Efrain. Then Junie jumped over the cage and embarrassed himself, his team, and his coaches. It was totally out of line. At that point I remember standing and watching in total disgust. I remember thinking why doesn't Mir just ask Dana to throw him off the show. If I was his coach I wouldn't corner him, train him, or even allow him to come and train at the training center. That is the background from which I come. My coaches wouldn't tolerate behavior like that. I also agree with Shane Primm saying that "It was Junie's attempt to steal the spotlight. And it is the most disrespectful thing you possibly can do after a fighter wins a fight."
Junie was sitting in the pool with Shane and said something along these lines: "So I hear you guys are trying to set Phillipe up with me next week if you have control? So is he the sacrificial lamb?"
That's pretty funny. I did speak freely and openly to my teammates, coaches, and even some of the fighters on the other team that I wanted Junie next week as long a we sustained control. So he found out the plan. I wanted to fight him because I thought he was all talk. His fighting skills didn't impress me at all. He did well against Jose Agallar who was a one-dimensional fighter that wanted to turn the fight into a jiu-jitsu match.
I just think Junie is overrated and I wanted to also put an end to his behavior by shutting him down in the cage. He was also first pick overall so I wanted to prove to everyone he didn't deserve to be picked first. He knows I wanted him but you can see in the next episode he has control and winds up fighting someone other than me. That was odd being he presented himself as such a badass. Junie talked smack to everyone on the show — even to their faces. He never disrespected me to my face. He always called me a "Tough Filipino." He either respected me as a fighter or he feared me.
As you can see the pranks got a bit out of control to the point where our coaches tried to get involved to put an end to it. I do admit that it was fun pranking the other team. Vinny really can't take a joke at all. That was out of line. I witnessed him with my own eyes peeing on Efrain's pillow. Luckily I had a extra pillow which I offered Efrain to keep. All I can say regarding pranks is that it only gets worse. You'll have to wait and see.
Anderson Silva stopped by as a guest coach. While the man is an animal in the cage, he is a charismatic, smooth, soft-spoken, respectable guy outside of it. He shows the world that really good fighters aren't knuckleheads and bar brawlers. They are professionals and take life seriously. I look up to him as an overall human being. The lessons he showed us was just what I needed. His kick, knee, and elbow combos were perfect for my game.
The fight between Shane and Eliot was a disappointment. I believed in Shane. He reached too far for that clinch and opened himself up to get body locked and taken down. He did fight the choke well, better than a lot experienced fighters would have. Good luck to him and I know he'll be back. What was more disappointing to me is that our team lost control. If our team had control I would have faced Junie next. That's what the plan was.

Episode 04
focus was given to Junie's and Nelson's antics. I hope the people
watching can separate that type of a so called MMA fighter from the
new age professionals that truly deserve to be on the show. The UFC
and MMA in general have blown up to incredible proportions in the last
10 to 15 years. The only thing stopping MMA from getting main steam
are the politicians and conservatives who believe MMA is "to
barbaric and violent". Junie and Nelson particularly brought evidence
to that point. They got drunk and inner thoughts of violence broke
out. They started breaking things like delinquents as a way to show
how angry and cool they can be. That is not how a human being should
act and even further not how a professional fighter should act on television.
The incidence that occurred on the show brought us back a few years
politically in the struggle to bring the UFC to every state. Even in my
hometown of New York MMA is banned! MMA is not about bar
brawls or street fights. The people who still think it is, now have someone
to look up to. Junie! Young kids and parents will watch that episode
and be turned off. I would not want my kid to be involved in something
like that.
I feel ashamed of the two cast members. At one point I almost felt
sorry for them but those feelings ran dry after realizing that they weren't
genuinely sorry for there actions. As you can see I haven't been
getting much face time on the last few episodes. I try to stay away
from drunk violent behavior not only on the show but in life in general.
People like that have nothing to offer. I was sleeping tucked in my
bed during that pool incident. I made sure I slept early almost every
night so I can the most out of training the next day. I got on the show
with one goal in mind. And that didn't include drinking like a retard in
front of 5 million people.
Junie should have been thrown out right after he threw that glass at Kyle.
That was assault. He should have been arrested. I wasn't comfortable
sleeping in the house with a drunk on the lose. Thoughts of him pulling
out a kitchen knife and stabbing another fighter crossed my mind.
Sorry Junie but if I was Dana you would have been gone!
Junie jumping over the cage after Efrain's fight was just a way to get
more camera time. He will now be the person America loves to hate.
Just the plan he had in mind.
I really hope the fans can learn something from this episode. And that is
- drinking alcohol is just poisoning your body and it will hurt you.
I think Nelson's performance was great for the first 3 minutes. After that
his tank was close to empty and he couldn't give it his all. He knows he
could have done better and he knows its mostly due to his conditioning
level. Efrain looked great in the fight. His take downs were on point.
He had solid knees. He looked great in the scramble also. My hat goes
off to Efrain for keeping his cool and winning the battle in the cage
( where it matters ) and not with his mouth!
In recent news I hear that the UFC is preparing overseas events all
over the world. The Philippines seems to be what everyone is talking
about. If anyone has seen Chuck Liddel's latest video on UFC.com it
was him getting ambushed by 4,000 Filipino fans in Asia mall in the
Philippines. It's simple -Filipinos love the ufc! I trace my roots
to my Filipino family on my mothers side. I practically grew up there
every summer. I take pride in having Filipino Blood running threw me.
I believe Filipinos naturally have a likening to combat sports. All
throughout Filipino history you will find times periods with invasions
and turmoil. We have a very recent war like history that still occurs
to this day. I guess you can even say it makes us tough. If the UFC
plans on expanding it's reach as far as Manila, I'm 100 percent there.
It would be an honor to fight in the Philippines! Hopefully I won't
pass out due to the hot Filipino sun! haha - just kidding.

Episode 03
As everyone saw tonight, I wound up on the red team as Nog's first pick. It felt great to be picked first by Noguiera but at the same time I felt some pressure. I felt I needed to fill in some big shoes. Being first pick for the red team meant you must be a bad ass. I was really happy to get picked by Nogueira rather then Mir. He is the reigning world champion!
As you can see we really focused on the team aspect of things. We trained together, cooked and ate together, and we even slept in the same room. My room had Delgado, Efrain, Jules, John, Kyle, and myself. Our team, as you can see from the episode, almost felt like a family.
As for the rule about not fighting due to a broken nose, it covers the safety of the fighters. Unfortunately the whole competition is over a six-week period. So you not only have to win your fights, but also win and come out unharmed.
Junie Browning also saw a lot of camera time, which I am sure he was fine with because he loved the attention. He is this emotional roller coaster that got overwhelmed with the entire situation. He said he had a hard time growing up and it was reflected well on this episode. I think that having the ability to drink and eat almost anything you want made him go nuts.
I've read in the past where some people have blamed the UFC and Spike for making alcohol so readily available. I really don't think they are to blame. I believe as an adult we should be responsible for ourselves. Not only are we adults, but also professional athletes (well, at least some of us are). So there should have been close to no drinking in the house. Spike and the UFC didn't tell us we have to drink or force it into our mouths. We didn't have to do anything we objected to. We didn't even have to train or get up in the morning if you so willed not to. It really is as "real as it gets!"
Finally, we have the fight. Ryan is so powerful. After watching the fight over and over on TV, he looked like he hit Tom with a brick. Tom stood his ground well but
made a small error which cost him the fight. I think Tom should fight at 185 lbs. and not at 205 lbs.. He is just not big enough. Nogueira didn't talk openly to the entire team about his fight pick. I think he just pulled Ryan to the side and told him his thoughts. The matchup was perfect.
One last thing: I was asked about the fried chicken reference last week. Well, in the kitchen there was some KFC and it smelled the place up. I think it was ordered for the Spike workers. Cold cuts would have been better. At least it wouldn't have smelled.

"I think it's important to start out by acknowledging we are on stolen land," Demian DineYazhi said, starting off the night of writing by Indigenous Writers at the Hugo House in Seattle last weekend.
Elissa Washuta, Tommy Pico and Demian DinéYazhi' are part of different nations and presented very different styles of writing. Their shared identity as indigenous writers brought a variety of perspectives that drew a full house and an appreciative response from audience members.
Board member of Seattle City of Literature JC Sevcik said that he "enjoyed the reading immensely" and emphasized how important this type of event is for a community. "It's through this sort of sharing of art and identity that we can bring about increased understanding of the other and ultimately effect a more just and equitable society."
Demian DineYazhi began the night with a newly written piece, still in progress. The stream of consciousness and snapshot imagery juxtaposed beauty and pain, indigenous identity and societal structures that restrict. DineYazhi is described in his bio as a "Portland-based transdisciplinary artist born to the clans Naasht'ezhiTabaaha (Zuni Clan Water's Edge) and Todich'ii'nii (Bitter Water) of the Dine (Navajo)."
After the reading, he discussed the way he uses writing as a tool for empowerment. "I've used every opportunity to tell my truth through words and as a way to use language against a colonizing force, use it as a tool for resistance, to use it as a tool for giving people knowledge," he explained. His work is best understood through the lens of curatorial inquiry, 'zine production, street interventions, education, workshops and art production.
Elissa Washuta's essay followed and dug deep into her family history of coal miners, as well and how that relates to her experience as a writer. Sevcik said this is the piece that resonated with him the most out of the night, especially the ways in which she identified "the stress we put ourselves under as writers" and questioned "how much of it is necessary and how much of it is manufactured, maybe even masochistic because somewhere we learned to carry a belief that writing has to be hard and painful and personally damaging."
Washuta has published two autobiographical books and says she uses writing as part of a lifelong process of "figuring out how to survive and where I'm going to draw my power from." When discussing the feeling of writing with other native writers, she said she doesn't have to "explain myself […] that it feels comfortable in a different way." She is on her way to New Zealand to share her writing and participate in a panel with other indigenous writers, namely the Maori.
Tommy Pico joined the other two writer's as a stop on a book tour that will culminate in a book release party in New York. He shared an excerpt from his book, "IRL," which "is a sweaty, summertime poem composed like a long text message, rooted in the epic tradition of A.R. Ammons, ancient Kumeyaay Bird Songs, and Beyoncé's visual albums. It follows Teebs, a reservation-born, queer NDN weirdo, trying to figure out his impulses/desires/history in the midst of Brooklyn rooftops, privacy in the age of the Internet, street harassment, suicide, boys boys boys, literature, colonialism, religion, leaving one's 20s and a love/hate relationship with English." He says when it comes to him writing now means "making a new ceremony" because the only ones he knows from his own tribe are those that are to do with "death because that happened so often".
As the audience members left, many stayed to mingle with the three writers and to continue the conversation. As they drifted off into the sunny Seattle evening, they took with them stories of Native struggle, empowerment and identity, and images of survival that will continue the story they are constantly telling, one page at a time.

SHANGHAI — Tencent, a Chinese Internet company, denied on Friday that one of its employees had been involved in a recent breach of computers belonging to Japanese and Indian companies, as well as Tibetan activists.
The company and the employee suggested that his identity might have been confused with someone else's.
The company released a statement soon after Trend Micro, a computer security company with headquarters in Tokyo, released a report on Friday describing the breach. It was the result of a nearly yearlong effort to hack into computers and steal information from hundreds of companies and individuals in several countries, the report said.
The report never identified a hacker by name. But it linked the attacks to an alias used by a graduate of Sichuan University in western China who wrote several articles on computer hacking and defense. The researchers found the alias through its connection to an e-mail address and a QQ number, the Chinese equivalent of an instant messaging screen name.
The New York Times identified the owner of the alias as Gu Kaiyuan, based on online records of his writing. Mr. Gu is now an employee at Tencent, which offers social networking, instant messaging, online gaming and other online features.Continue reading the main story
On Thursday, when asked about the attacks, Mr. Gu said, "I have nothing to say." On Friday, however, he denied involvement.
In a message posted on Weibo, China's Twitter-like social media service, Mr. Gu said: "The QQ number associated with the hacker-controlled server belongs to my classmate, not me. I have not participated in any hacking."
Sichuan University also issued a written statement late Friday by e-mail, saying it had never "hired any unit or individual to participate in Internet attacks or hacking activities."
The report does not say precisely how many hackers were involved, but it suggests that the main attacker used the alias "scuhkr," which may stand for Sichuan University hacker, a researcher said.
Mr. Gu, the Tencent employee, has used the alias "scuhkr," and he agreed on Friday that a QQ number mentioned in the report belonged to him. In several articles he wrote, he used both his real name and the alias "scuhkr."
But he and a Tencent executive said on Friday that the report also included a second QQ number that did not belong to Mr. Gu and that was more likely related to the attacks.
"We have checked with our colleague Mr. Gu Kaiyuan, who denied he was involved in any hacking activities," Tencent said in its statement. "Nor was he named by the author of the report as a hacker."
In an interview on Friday, Nart Villeneuve, a researcher who helped lead Trend Micro's effort, said there appeared to be one hacker using multiple QQ numbers and aliases.
"That's what it seemed like to me based on the posts I saw online," he said. "We saw two aliases, 'dang0102' and 'scuhrk,' make separate posts that contained the same QQ number that was used to register a command and control server."
But he did not rule out more than one hacker.
Sichuan University also suggested that two people were associated with the QQ numbers in the report. In a statement, it said: "Sichuan University had two students who used the nicknames of 'dang0102' and 'scuhkr,' " — which were both mentioned in the Trend Micro report. "But they never participated in malicious Internet attacks or hacking activities while at school and have graduated and left the university several years ago."
According to Trend Micro's report, the hacker used a variety of types of malware, including some tied to an earlier cyberespionage campaign. The attacks breached 233 computers, according to the report. They aimed at Japanese companies, an Indian military research organization and activists and nongovernmental organizations related to Tibet, among others, the report said.
The researchers did not suggest the attacks had been the work of government-employed hackers, but security experts said the methods and victims suggested a state-backed campaign. Chinese officials did not respond to the release of the report on Friday.Continue reading the main story

I'm not an expert but I've been messing with dishes since the days of Sky analogue so you might find this useful.
Here's a typical Sky "minidish" fixed directly to a wall with a bracket. The bracket allows minimal adjustment for elevation (up down tilt) and for sideways alignment. This type is useful where the wall almost faces the satellite. It has a special "universal" LNB on its arm.
Most Sky minidishes are supplied with a 1.5 inch diameter tube and separate wall mount bracket, which allows a much wider angle of east/west adjustment.
Installing a Sky dish
The "Sky Digital satellite" is actually a cluster of satellites positioned above the equator and 28.2 degrees east of the meridian. So (in the UK) your dish will point in a south easterly direction and must be aligned extremely accurately because that tiny cluster of satellites is about 23,000 miles away.
This is a larger dish. It's actually about 80cm in diameter and I think it's made under the name of "Orbital". It has a standard "40mm neck" universal LNB clamped to its arm.
80cm dish
This is another 80cm dish. This time it's a "perforated" dish. It's just a solid dish which has been perforated all over with little holes. The perforations allow it to blend in with the background a little better for cosmetic reasons.
Those metal legs that you see are actualy a tripod wall bracket. The centre leg is formed from a 2 inch diameter tube.
These wall brackets are a bit tricky to install. It's a good idea to rest the legs on a large piece of paper or card and mark the hole positions. Then you can fix the paper to the wall and tap a nail or centre punch through to mark the hole positions on the bricks for ease of drilling.
80cm dish rear
The satellite cluster is so far away that the signal reaches Earth in a tight beam. The dish acts as a parabolic mirror and focusses the signal onto the end cap of the LNB. In case you didn't know, "LNB" stands for "Low Noise Block-downconverter". That's because it collects the whole "block" of very weak microwave satellite signals and converts them to a block of lower frequency signals so that they can pass down the coaxial cable to your receiver.
Notice that the LNB support arm is NOT pointing at the satellite cluster. In the UK, the arm will be almost horizontal. Further south it will be tilted upwards more.
The direction of the satellite varies with your location. To calculate the angles, you can download SMW Link, at http://www.smw.se
dish signal angle
Sometimes it's undesirable to positon the dish on a wall because there are trees blocking its view of the satellite or because it would look unsightly. In this instance it may be possible to mount the dish at the opposite side of the house on a pole so it is looking up the roof at the satellite. More information in this PDF document.
dish on house
You can paint your dish to blend in with the background. Here's a picture that I found. The minidish has been painted white to match the wall. It's barely noticeable now.
OK, so you first need to assemble your dish then fix it in place. It doesn't need to be high up – you can install it in a hole in the ground if you wish – as long as it can "see" the satellite.
In the UK, the satellite will be between 20 and 30 degrees above the horizon – higher as you go south. You can check this by using a cheap school protractor and a piece of cotton with a weight tied to it. Much cheaper than an inclinometer!
disguised dish
I won't go into details of the actual fixing here; if you can't manage it, or you are unwilling to climb a ladder to do it, then you're unlikely to be able to align the dish either! That's when you get in the professionals. (I downloaded an excellent book "Installing Sky Digital TV" from Satcure which I'm sure you will find indispensible as it gives far more information than I can put here. There's over 100 pages of instructions and pictures).
The satellites broadcasting Sky Digital (there's more than one satellite) are located above the equator at a longitude 28 degrees east of the meridian. Now, Greenwich in the UK is on the meridian line (zero longitude). So, if you look directly south and imagine looking at the top of a big ring encircling the earth, that's 0 degrees. Now let your eyes move east (left) along the arc that's curving down to the left. At 28 degrees (out of 360 for the full circle) you'll be looking towards the Asta 2 satellites.
Point your dish roughly in that direction then use a satfinder meter to locate the satellite. You can do it with the Digibox but it's not as easy. Expensive digital meters will analyse the signal and tell you which satellite you have found automatically and instantly!
lacuna meter
If the dish is on the ground, the TV can be right next to you (but plug the extension cable into an RCD for use outside).
Connect the LNB to the receiver's input with a length of satellite co-ax (make sure you have the right sort of cable), switch on the receiver and TV and select the signal level display on the receiver. With a Sky Digibox, you press Services-4-6, but all digital receivers have some sort of signal level display.
The display shows the overall signal level or strength received on the "default transponder frequency" only; the signal 'quality' (a measure of the correct digital data received) and an indication of the signal 'lock' (when the correct signal isfound).
If you're very lucky, on connection, the level and quality meters will surge up and the indicator show the signal locked. But more likely, you will have to search a little to find the satellite. Starting from your first guess position, move the dish left and right and up and down to scan the sky. Move in small increments or you will move past the satellite.
In addition, look for the following information on the signal menu screen:
Astra 2 at 28.2'E
Network ID = 0002
Astra 1 at 19.2'E
Network ID = 0001 (this is normally 000 unless you alter the default transponder FEC to 3/4)
Hotbird at 13'E
Network ID = 013e
This tells you which of the three most popular satellites your dish is aligned on. If it's not the one you want, simply swing your dish in the appropriate direction. Easy!
Fortunately, the small dishes used for the major satellites these days have a wide 'beamwidth', and so they will get a portion of the signal even if they're not aimed well at the satellite – enough to alert you that you're getting close.
When the dish gets a glimpse of a satellite, the level meter will register (the quality and lock indicators may well do nothing). With many receivers (including the Sky Digibox) there's a distinct delay before the menu display registers the signal, so this whole process must be a slow one of move-wait-move-wait. The advantage of a separate signal level meter is that the response is near enough instant so you can sweep the dish, watching for a kick of the meter.
The scanning process is repeated, centred on the new position to get a stronger signal, until the signal quality meter registers about 33 per cent, changes colour from red to green, or otherwise shows it's found a digital signal, dependent on your receiver.
If you have found the right satellite, the lock indicator will come on (or on some receivers, the search channel flicks into life). Now set your receiver to perform the full search and check that you get the expected channels (with a Sky Digibox, that happens automatically – it will find the EPG listings if you have 28'E in your sights).
If you get no channels, or ones other than expected, you have the wrong satellite and the whole procedure needs to be repeated from the start. Refer to our Network ID list above.
When you've found the right satellite, you should tweak the alignment for the best possible signal, using the signal quality display. If you find that you get a 100 per cent reading (only likely with an over-sized dish), temporarily cut down the amount of signal reaching the LNB by draping a wet cloth over some of the dish reflector, and home in on the very best (diminished) signal. This works because water absorbs the microwave signals from satellites very efficiently.
The last task is to set the 'skew' of the LNB (its correct rotational angle in its holder). With a Sky minidish this is sometimes preset. Otherwise, with the damp cloth in position, rotate the LNB to find the strongest "signal quality".
When you have all the adjustments correct, tighten up the various screws and bolts to lock the dish in the right position (tighten pairs of bolts evenly so the dish is not pulled out of position) and run the cable to where the receiver will normally reside.
Without any kind of meter, this whole process is very lengthy and often frustrating but you should now have your dish accurately trained on the satellite. If it is well aligned, the onset of rain or even light snow should not affect the picture and you will not have to repeat the process again – until you want a larger dish, a different satellite, or you move home.
Note: If you get everything working fine but some programmes are missing, it may be helpful to use the "Manual Tuning" menu method. This is described quite well with screen shots on the SatCure site, technical section page 10.
Here is a movie that shows the use of a simple alignment meter. (You will need "Flash" plugin installed to see it:-
To connect the LNB, first to a meter or a receiver placed near the dish for alignment, and later to the receiver in its final position, you must learn how to make up a cable.
Use screw-on F-connectors. The crimp-on type can perform better but they require a lot more practice and a special crimping tool.
1. Use CT100 cable or equivalent (double shielded with copper braid and copper foil. RG6 will do but the copper braid/aluminiurn foil is more likely to corrode outdoors).
2. About 25mm from the end, cut through the outer plastic covering with a sharp knife and remove it. Do not cut through the braid beneath
3. Remove the exposed foil and twist the braid together to one side
4. Cut and remove the inner insulation (don't cut the centre wire) to leave all but a few millimetres of the wire exposed.
5. Twist the F-connector on to the cable as far as it will go (until the inner insulation hits the baffle inside
6. Finally, trim off the exposed braid and cut the centre wire to be just proud of the F connector
(Info from What Satellite TV magazine)
how to fit f plugs
While most shops would have you believe that the particular "F" plug they stock will fit ALL sizes of cable, it's simply not true! If you screw a plug designed for WF100 onto RG6 cable, it will be too loose and could fall off. Conversely, if you screw an RG6 plug onto WF100 cable, you'll damage the cable and cause an impedance mismatch.
Take a look here for proof.
Q. I have a Sky+ Digibox. How do I tell which cable goes to input 1 and which to input 2?
A. It doesn't matter which cable is connected where. The outputs of a twin- quad- or Octo LNB are all the same.
More information about installing on Dave Sullivan's site (see Links page). Also a good book that you can download here.

Texas Energy-Water Simulator
Texas and EPA's Clean Power Plan: Water, CO2 Emissions, and Costs (Executive Summary)
Author: Paul Faeth
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a new rule under the Clean Air Act—the Clean Power Plan (CPP)—to control carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from existing stationary electric power plants. In order to better understand the potential impacts of the rule for water consumption and withdrawals in Texas, a state that is experiencing on-going drought, we apply a power generation policy model to evaluate water use along with other economic and environmental indicators. We explore two scenarios: a baseline scenario and the implementation of the CPP. We find that the state will save water under the CPP and be able to meet the final and interim targets with modest incremental effort.

In an area with as many connections as the energy, water, land, and climate nexus, it can be a challenge to identify the highest priority research opportunities. In collaboration with the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), we undertook a process to isolate and rank a wide variety of potential research topics. Using several forms of Delphic processes, we engaged experts working on related topics to work with us to develop a short list of 15 priority research topics. We briefly describe the process we used, the challenges with developing topics that encompass all of the elements of the energy-water-land-climate (EWLC) nexus, and present the final list, which is intended to be a discussion starter rather than a definitive list. We found that it is relatively easy to identify research topics that touch one or two elements of the nexus, but difficult to identify ones that truly cover the nexus. Priorities identified by our participants in the process include improving policy and planning, understanding human behavior, enhancing data and modeling, managing risk, and understanding regional differences.

This report describes the application of a new mixed-integer linear programming model of the power sector that accounts for water used for thermal cooling. The model is used to explore a series of scenarios for each of four case studies—the North Grid of China, India, France, and the state of Texas in the United States. For each case study we developed a baseline projection, then modeled a number of scenarios, including limits on water availability, reduced power demand from end-use. energy efficiency, expansion of renewable energy, and carbon caps. We provide model output, including water withdrawals and consumption; power generation fuel mix; carbon dioxide emissions; and total system, fixed, and variable costs. Documentation of the model is provided in an appendix. We developed a set of recommended strategies from this analysis, which are presented in detail in a companion report, Capturing Synergies Between Water Conservation and Carbon Dioxide Emissions in the Power Sector.
Authors: Paul Faeth and Benjamin K. Sovacool
In order to gain a more thorough understanding of potential conflicts and synergies between power generation and water use, we developed a mixed-integer linear programming model of the power sector that captures the key relationships with water. We used the model to develop a series of scenarios for each of four case studies—the North Grid of China, India, France, and the state of Texas in the United States. We found that cost-effective options exist that can cut water use, reduce risks to the power sector, and also reduce emissions of conventional pollutants and greenhouse gases from electricity generation. This report focuses on strategies we recommend to capture those synergies.

We braved the cold for another fun volunteer event with YouthBuild Philly and Saint-Gobain employees! However, this wasnt your typical volunteer day.
Collectively, Saint-Gobain and YouthBuild collected approximately 20 boxes of canned and boxed food donations to give to the Nicetown Community Development Corporation's food cabinet. The students and Saint-Gobain employees not only sought to renovate two homes in the community, but also contribute to serving the community for Thanksgiving.
Saint-Gobain employees worked side-by-side with YouthBuild Philly on the 2006 and 2008 Wingohocking Street project, in the Nicetown area of the city. Employees assisted students with installing CertainTeed's fencing and framing of walls and windows. As team we are better together! We had a ton of fun, and we look forward to more success on Wingohocking Street.
Have a great holiday, everyone!

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 50990
iptables-save uses incorrect syntax for negated TOS match
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:38:00 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.7 i586)
Description of problem:
The proper syntax for a negated TOS match is "iptables ... -m tos ! --tos
<value>". However, when iptables-save saves such a rule, it instead uses
"iptables ... -m tos --tos !<value>". Note that the exclamation point has
moved. Subsequent uses of iptables-restore will fail because the saved
syntax is incorrect.
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
Issue the following commands as root:
# service iptables stop
# iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -m tos ! --tos 0
# service iptables save
# service iptables start
Actual Results: The final "service iptables start" command yields the
following output:
Flushing all current rules and user defined chains: [ OK ]
Clearing all current rules and user defined chains: [ OK ]
Applying iptables firewall rules: [ OK ]
iptables-restore v1.2.2: Bad TOS value `!Normal-Service'
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more
Expected Results: "service iptables start" should have completed without
error, and the saved rule should have been restored properly. To verify
proper restoration, issue the command "iptables -t nat -L OUTPUT". You
should see the following:
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
all -- anywhere anywhere TOS match
Note the "!".
Additional info:
We (Red Hat) should try to fix this for the next release.
Fixed in 1.2.2-4
