"We're going to come out, throw bombs, be fast, and be athletic." - Shawn Jordan

Following an impressive career on the gridiron at Louisiana State University, you wouldn't think Shawn Jordan would be fazed by stepping into an athletic competition in front of a packed arena.
After all, LSU plays their home games before more than 90,000 people at Tiger Stadium, and Jordan was a part of two National Championship teams during his time donning the purple and yellow. But there is a difference between stepping onto the football field with your teammates and walking into the Octagon solo, and despite his big game experience, the UFC heavyweight is still getting used to being one of two men underneath the bright lights when the cage door closes.
In just his second UFC appearance, Jordan stepped up to square off with veteran Cheick Kongo. The bout was featured on the main card of last summer's debut event at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, a cavernous venue that housed more than 16,000 somewhat frustrated fans by the time the heavyweights hit the cage.
"I thought I would be fine," admits Jordan with a laugh that says he was dead wrong. "I didn't think it was a big deal, but fighting in that arena was completely different than fighting at The Pearl (at The Palms) in Vegas. It's a great place to fight, but it's a small, intimate venue; we were fighting in a packed arena. It changes things a little bit.
"I've played on some of the biggest stages in sports playing football, but you have a team there, a helmet on, and you're with a group of guys. To get out there and compete under the lights, just you and another guy, it's different; it changes things in your head."
Jordan froze up, and spent the duration of the dull 15-minute affair unable to mount much offense. The golden opportunity that came with stepping up on short notice to face a perennial contender came and went, leaving the former fullback no further ahead in his climb up the divisional ladder, and coming off a loss.
His next appearance came in January against hometown heavyweight Mike Russow as part of the first UFC on FOX card of 2013. As the first round got underway, Russow landed some heavy shots on Jordan, who once again looked flat and unable to get off with his striking.
"At the start of that fight, I couldn't get warm in the back," recalls Jordan, who splits his training time between Team Jackson-Winkeljohn in Albuquerque, New Mexico and American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida. "I was feeling kind of stale and stiff. I think some of that was coming off the Cheick Kongo fight where I kind of froze up, I couldn't think of what to do. I was kind of worried about freezing up again that whole week of being there. That was weighing on me mentally, so I was shaking those cobwebs off, and Mike surprised me.
"For a huge dude, he threw that right hand a lot faster than I thought it was going to come, and I was standing there when he threw it every time; I didn't even move. I was watching the film afterwards thinking I was moving, but I was moving my feet; my body stayed in the exact same spot the whole time. Your perception during a fight isn't always what's going on."
The charismatic and talkative heavyweight cackles as he reflects on his lack of movement in the early stages of his last appearance, something that is surely easier to do given that he eventually got loose, and earned a second round stoppage win over Russow.
"Chris Leben said it best at one point: I gotta get cracked a couple times before I remember I'm in a fight," Jordan says, paraphrasing the long-time UFC middleweight competitor. "I think I need to shake that off and stop doing that because the more I move up, the competition gets harder, and we're heavyweights – everyone hits hard in the heavyweight division. You can't really risk coming out stale when these guys are wearing four-ounce gloves."
Figuring out how to avoid slow starts is just another part of the rapid learning process Jordan has been immersed in since making the transition from football to fighting over the last four years.
The fact that he's already competing at the highest level in the sport speaks volumes about his natural talent, especially when you consider that Jordan didn't really start training until 18 months ago, and remains a work in progress.
"I'm going on my fourth year fighting, but I kind of just started legitimately training and doing things the right way in the last 18 months with going to Jackson's, and now with American Top Team. I'm learning, and I'm still trying to figure out what kind of fighter I would like to be.
"That competitiveness and that raw athleticism I was blessed with and conditioned to have growing up in Texas, playing football for LSU (has paid dividends)," explains Jordan, who credits LSU strength and conditioning coordinator Tommy Moffitt for helping him develop his mental toughness during his time as a football player.
"I think that mindset has really helped me and gotten me to where I'm at. Training is giving me tools and things to work with now; it's sharpening my abilities and helping me mold myself into a fighter and develop in this competitive atmosphere. I know that I like to win, and now I figure out how to do it, which is a big plus."
Jordan's next opportunity to "figure out how to win" comes Saturday night in Winnipeg, where he'll share the cage with fellow Louisiana heavyweight Pat Barry.
From the time the contest was announced, fans tagged it as a potential Fight of the Night and Knockout of the Night contender, given each man's penchant for putting forth entertaining performances. Just one of Jordan's 14 career victories has come by decision, while Barry has been to the scorecards just once in his 13-fight career in the cage.
Just as Jordan earned a second round KO win in his last appearance, so too did Barry, who stopped Shane Del Rosario at December's Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale in Las Vegas. With both looking to establish some consistency, build off their most recent victories, and take another step forward in their careers, don't expect their friendship to get in the way of them slinging leather and looking to knock each other out on Saturday night.
"We're good friends," Jordan says of the man he'll share the cage with this weekend when the UFC debuts at the MTS Centre. "We text all the time, but this is our job. It's business; it's not personal. We're not trying to hurt each other. He didn't call my mom names or anything. He and I are buddies. It's business. It's what we do. It's nice to know that we're just competitors.
"Pat's powerful, man," continues Jordan. "It's great to get this kind of fight. Pat and I are friends, and we both have similar thoughts. We're going to come out, throw bombs, be fast, and be athletic. It's exciting to do it and to train for it."
Jordan also likes that he won't have to prepare for any mean-mugging Friday afternoon at the weigh ins.
"The worst thing – and it always makes me laugh is at weigh-ins – is when you have guys that are all upset and want to get in your face during the staredown, acting all tough. It's like, `Really? You do realize we fight tomorrow? Why are you wasting this energy right now? Don't worry about it. Save it. We'll fight tomorrow. You still have to get in the cage with me. You're not scaring me.'"
Maybe the heavyweight friends will fake animosity with each other when they stand face-to-face in front of Dana White and company Friday afternoon. Perhaps they will reenact the salute to John L. Sullivan and the bare-knuckled boxers of old like they did at a regional event in their home state earlier this year.
Either way, when the cage door closes on Saturday night, they'll be trying to take each other out from the outset, and Jordan is intent on getting the best of his friend.
"I've got to be faster than Pat, and I've got to use good technique. Take what he gives me and do well with it. Use what he gives me and dominate him wherever I can. I've got to bang it out."

5 Thanksgiving Myths Debunked — Pilgrims Didn't Wear Buckles? (And More)
Thanksgiving, which we've been celebrating in America for centuries now, is a time of family, food and, especially, tradition. Even so, many of the stories we take as gospel about this wonderful holiday—wonderful if you're not endlessly bickering with your relatives, that is—aren't true at all. Myth, legend and wishful thinking play into a lot of the misconceptions surrounding Turkey Day.
Like most things, Thanksgiving has evolved over the years and borrowed from a variety of sources in order to create the current celebration we know and love. Here are five stories about Thanksgiving that may have you thinking differently about America's national meal:
Turkey Wasn't the Original Main Course
Turkey might not have even been served at the first Pilgrims' Thanksgiving celebration. Deer, lobster and a ton a shrimp were on the tables, but not necessarily turkey. While the Wampanoag people and the early settlers hunted fowl, they could have just as easily bagged ducks and geese instead of the "gobble gobble" bird for the three-day feast. Corn, crab, fish and lots of veggies, which were in season, along with venison probably made up the majority of the food enjoyed by the Native Americans and the battered newcomers on those festive autumn days so long ago.
Cranberry Sauce and Sweet Potatoes Were Off the Menu
When those legendary Mayflower voyagers arrived in the New World, they didn't bring stores of (expensive) sugar with them, which meant cranberry sauce was a later addition to the traditional Thanksgiving feast. Fresh cranberries, however, were likely consumed in abundance. Sweet potatoes weren't available either, so that culinary delight had to be added at some later date as well. Pumpkins were on the menu, but not in pie form. Carrots, peas and different kinds of squashes featured heavily, but not so for sweet-potato dishes and cranberry sauce.
Pilgrims Dressed in a Variety of Colors Without Buckles Everywhere
Buckles on the hat, buckles on the shoes, and big buckles on the belt are standard Thanksgiving Day apparel motifs. As much as we love those buckles, it seems the Pilgrims didn't deck themselves out with buckles at all, since buckles weren't in style at the time. Moreover, black and white weren't the only colors available to the pioneering fashion set. Women typically wore blue, brown, gray, green, red and violet. The men also had several options other than black and white, which was reserved for formal attire, when it came to the wardrobe department.
Thanksgiving Day Was Celebrated Before Plymouth—And Not Just by the Pilgrims
Thanksgiving Day, as celebrated by the Pilgrims at Plymouth, was a combination of various European harvest festivals and, more importantly, ancient harvest festivals celebrated by the Native Americans. American Indians living in the Northeast had long been farmers, and autumn, of course, is the time of year when farmers reap the bounty of the harvest.
The dancing, food and games that Pilgrims shared with the Wampanoag Indians on "Thanksgiving" weren't in line with the somber and religious days of "thanks" in the traditional Pilgrim sense of the term. The harvest festivities were more akin to the celebrations of the Wampanoag, a people living in North America long before the Dutch, English, or Spanish ever set foot on American soil.
Pilgrims ≠ Puritans
Pilgrims and Puritans are not the same. While the Mayflower was full of people who wanted to escape religious persecution back home and practice a different kind of religion, those Pilgrims were much more tolerant and far less strict than the Puritans. The Puritans came to the New World well after the Mayflower had already dropped anchor. The Pilgrims wanted to break away from the Church of England entirely, while the Puritans wanted to reform, or purify, it. Puritans were also the folks behind much of the witch burning that went on in the 17th century, something the Pilgrims would never do.

Strength Training for Young Athletes
Strength training can help kids and teens build healthy muscles, joints, and bones. With a properly designed and supervised program, they can improve endurance, total fitness level, and sports performance. Strength training can even help prevent injuries and speed up recovery.
About Strength Training
Strength training is the practice of using free weights, weight machines, and rubber resistance bands, or body weight to build muscles. With resistance the muscles have to work harder to move. When the muscles work harder, they grow stronger and more efficient.
Strength training can also help fortify the ligaments and tendons that support the muscles and bones and improve bone density, which is the amount of calcium and minerals in the bone. And the benefits may go beyond physical health. Young athletes may feel better about themselves as they get stronger.
The goal of strength training is not to bulk up. It should not be confused with weight lifting, bodybuilding, and powerlifting, which are not recommended for kids and teens. In these sports, people train with very heavy weights and participate in modeling and lifting competitions. Kids and teens who do those sports can risk injuring their growing bones, muscles, and joints.
Age Guidelines
Generally, if your child is ready to participate in organized sports or activities such asbaseball, soccer, or gymnastics, it is usually safe to start strength training.
A child's strength-training program shouldn't just be a scaled-down version of an adult's weight training regimen. A trainer who has experience in working with kids should design a program for your child and show your child the proper techniques, safety precautions, and how to properly use the equipment.
Kids as young as 7 or 8 years old can usually do strength-training activities (such as pushups and sit-ups) as long as they show some interest, can perform the exercises safely, and follow instructions. These exercises can help kids build a sense of balance, control, and awareness of their bodies.
Specific exercises should be learned without resistance. When proper technique is mastered, small amounts of resistance (body weight, band, or weight) can be added. In general as kids get older and stronger, they can gradually increase the amount of resistance they use. A trained professional can help your child determine what the appropriate weight may be.
As with any sport, it's wise to have your child visit a doctor before beginning a strength-training regimen. If the doctor signs off on the idea, you'll need to make sure that your child will be properly supervised, using safe equipment, and following an age-appropriate routine.
Muscle strains are the most common form of injury, and the lower back is the most commonly injured area. But these injuries usually happen because the child has not used the proper lifting technique or is trying to lift too much weight.
As long as your child is using the proper techniques and lifting an appropriate amount of weight, strength training shouldn't have any effect on growth plates, the layer of cartilage near the end of the bone where most of the bone growth occurs.
Strength training should not involve the use of anabolic steroids. Some young and professional athletes have abused these drugs to build muscles and improve athletic performance and appearance. But these drugs, some of which are illegal, can pose severe risks to physical and psychological health.
A Healthy Routine
In general, kids and teens should tone their muscles using a low amount of weight and a high number of repetitions, instead of trying to lift a heavy load one or two times.
The amount of weight will depend on a child's current size and strength level. But in general, kids should be able to lift a weight with proper technique at least 8 to 15 times. If they can't lift the weight at least 8 times, the weight is too heavy.
Preteens shouldn't be concerned about adding muscle bulk, which won't occur until after they have passed through puberty. Even then, it's important to focus on technique so that they can strengthen their muscles safely.
The focus of each training session should be on proper form and technique, with qualified instruction and supervision.
Program Guidelines
Here are some guidelines when considering strength-training programs:
- An instructor-to-child ratio of no more than 1 to 10.
- The instructor should have an approved strength-training certification and experience with kids and strength training.
- When teaching a new exercise, the trainer should have kids perform the exercise under his or her supervision in a hazard-free, well-lit, and adequately ventilated environment.
- Warm up with at least 5-10 minutes of aerobic activity and dynamic stretching. Cool down with less intense activity and static stretching.
- Calisthenics and stretching exercises should be performed before and after strength training.
- Kids should begin with one set of 8-15 repetitions of 6-8 exercises that focus on the major muscle groups of the upper and lower body and core.
- Kids should start with no load (resistance). When proper technique is mastered, a relatively light weight can be used with a high number of repetitions. Increase the weight as strength improves. Progression also can be achieved by increasing the number of sets (up to three) or types of exercises.
- Two to three training sessions per week on nonconsecutive days is sufficient.
It's important to remember that strength training is one part of a total fitness program. It can play a vital role in keeping your child healthy and fit, along with aerobic exercise such as biking and running, adequate hydration, and healthy nutrition.

You are the most important influence on your child. You can do many things to help your children develop healthy eating habits for life. Show by example. Eat vegetables, fruits, and whole grains with meals or as snacks. Let your child see that you like to munch on raw vegetables. You can also limit screen time. Allow no more than 2 hours a day of screen time like TV and computer games. Get up and move during commercials to get some physical activity.

The High Tea Shape Sorter from the fabulous Wooden Toy Shop. co.uk is such a beautiful toy, made from solid wood and hand painted with gorgeous realistic details! It would make the perfect toy for any child this Christmas and would be a great addition to a toy kitchen or as part of a role-play bakery, cake shop, cafe or home corner, or indeed just as it is!
What I love about this is that not only is it fabulous to look at (and good enough to eat!) but it's also educational! Each cake is carved into a slightly different shape and fits into its own unique hole in the stand, so that your child has to fit them back in like a puzzle. They also have numerals on the base of each with a matching space for each. So these toys promote number and shape recognition, cognitive skills, sorting and matching and problem solving– all at once! Not to mention imaginative and creative play skills, language development and social and interactive skills when played as part of a collaborative game with an adult or another child.
This is exactly the sort of toy I used to look for to have in my classroom when teaching Reception. High quality, long-lasting, educational, traditional and creative. A perfect combination!

Product Technologies:
Solid Forged Brass Construction: All Baldwin hardware begins with raw bars of solid brass which are heated, and pounded into specially made dies—producing a stronger, more substantial product. The difference between lesser metals and heat forged brass is noticeable the minute you hold it in your hands—solid brass is heavier, smoother, and naturally resists corrosion.

If you're a candidate for president, there's a good chance you've been sued — or at least threatened — by a musician. Republican hopefuls Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich have both been asked to stop using popular songs at their campaign rallies. A long list of musicians, including Jackson Browne, Don Henley and David Byrne, have taken political campaigns to court over the years for using copyrighted songs without permission.
With that in mind, here's a primer on music and copyright law for political operatives.
Rule No. 1: Know your venue. Where you play a song can matter as much as what you play. Gingrich's campaign is being sued for copyright infringement by a member of the band Survivor for using the song "Eye of the Tiger" at campaign events without permission.
Copyright experts say you don't have to ask an artist's permission to play a popular song at your rallies — as long as the venue where you play it has what's known as a blanket license from the performing rights organizations ASCAP and BMI. Peter DiCola, who teaches law at Northwestern, says most public venues do have those licenses. But small or unconventional venues may not, including a few that are mentioned by name in the Survivor lawsuit.
"The complaint is cleverly written actually," says DiCola. "The venues they mention include Gingrich using the song in a Moose Lodge and an excavation plant. And those are public places that might not as a matter of course acquire blanket licenses."
If the venue does not have a license with BMI and ASCAP, then the campaign has to negotiate its own. Which brings us to ...
Rule No. 2: Sometimes you have to ask for permission. This is especially true if you want to use a song in a television commercial. In that case, you have to pay royalties to the songwriter and to whoever owns the sound recording, usually a record label. Lawrence Iser, an entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles, says, "Just as if you were making commercials for any product you can think of — if you wanted to put that onto television, you want to put commercials on YouTube, you want to make any kind of audio/video work that contains music — you do need to have licenses, you do need to have permission."
Iser should know. He represents Jackson Browne, who sued the Ohio Republican Party for using the song "Running on Empty" in a campaign ad for John McCain four years ago. Iser also represents David Byrne. The onetime singer of Talking Heads sued former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist for using "Road to Nowhere" in an ad for Crist's Senate campaign.
Both the Browne and Byrne cases settled for undisclosed amounts. And Crist was forced to post a videotaped apology on YouTube. That brings us to ...
Rule No. 3: Know when to fold 'em. Even if your campaign is sure its venues have the proper licenses, and you're not using any copyrighted material without permission on TV, your candidate can still wind up in hot water.
The singer and rapper K'Naan invoked trademark law when he asked Romney's campaign to stop using the song "Wavin' Flag" at Romney's events. Basically, law professor DiCola says, K'Naan argued that the politician was hurting his brand.
"The heart of trademark is supposed to be consumer confusion," he says. "The idea would be that fans or listeners or just the general public would be confused that K'Naan was endorsing Mitt Romney. And he described his fans complaining on blogs about 'Why did he give a license to Romney?' And 'Why would he give permission?' "
Some of these artists' claims may not have much legal merit, says Sherwin Siy, an expert on copyright law at the nonprofit Public Knowledge in Washington, D.C. "They're just throwing that out there to say, to make a statement," he says. "To say, by the way, this music they're trying to use as the soundtrack to their campaign, the musician doesn't support it."
But no matter how flimsy the legal case, Siy says it often makes more sense for a political campaign to back down anyway. "The optics of it are so bad that there's really not much point in continuing to use a piece of music when the musicians really don't want you to."
That seems to be the conclusion Mitt Romney's handlers reached. While campaign officials said they were legally entitled to use "Wavin' Flag," they said they'd stop doing so, out of respect for the artist.
Some Republicans have complained that musicians are singling them out. But the soul duo Sam and Dave did send a cease and desist letter four years ago to Barack Obama's campaign, demanding that the Democrat stop using the song "Hold On, I'm Coming" during his first run for the White House.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- A pet food company is voluntarily recalling dog treats that could be contaminated with salmonella.
Nature's Recipe announced Saturday the recall of a limited supply of its "Nature's Recipe Oven Baked Biscuits with Real Chicken," which were manufactured at its plant in Topeka, Kan., and distributed nationally — primarily through pet specialty retailers.
The company says the product has the potential to be contaminated with salmonella, which can affect animals eating the products and pose a risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products.
Nature's Recipe officials say no pet or human illnesses have been reported, but suggest that pet owners monitor themselves and their dogs for signs of salmonella and seek medical care if symptoms worsen.
The company says the recall is precautionary, and advises consumers who bought the recalled treats to discard them immediately.
The recalled treats were sold in 19-ounce stand-up resealable pouches. The products included in the recall are marked with the Lot Codes 2199TP or 2200TP and a UPC Code of 30521 51549. The pouches also have a "Best If Used By Date" stamp of "10 11 13" and "10 12 13."

Psychological disorders, dreams, attachment in children, genetic influences on intelligence, shyness, eyewitness testimony, neuroscience, sensation & perception - these are just a few of the numerous topics covered in psychology. Although you may find many definitions, psychology is commonly defined as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes.
What is Psychology?
Becoming a psychologist means using scientific methods to understand behavior. Psychology is a diverse field with both scientific and professional aspects. As a science, psychology focuses on research: psychologists collect, quantify, analyze and interpret data describing human and animal behavior. As a profession, psychology focuses on the application of knowledge, skills and techniques to solve individual and social problems.
BA (Bachelor of Arts) vs BS (Bachelor of Science)
Whether you choose the BA or BS degree will be dependent upon your career goal. Both the BA and the BS degree prepare you for all areas (clinical, developmental, etc.) of graduate level study in psychology and similar employment opportunities. Which degree is best for you depends upon the graduate program to which you are applying. The BS degree program prepares you for graduate programs which require you to have completed more math and science undergraduate courses. The BS degree may also be of more interest to employers such as laboratories, pharmaceutical companies and human factor labs.
The check sheets in the Social Science office provides a comparison of the courses required for the BA and the BS degree:

LYON, France – Senior Libyan officials from the Ministry of the Interior have attended the first meeting of INTERPOL's Project RELINC (Rebuilding Libya's Investigative Capability), a European Union-funded initiative to assist Libyan authorities in developing a sustainable capability to identify security threats and investigate criminal and terrorist activity.
During the four-day meeting (19 – 22 November) at the General Secretariat headquarters, discussions focused on the key components of the project, including provision of access to INTERPOL's databases at Libya's border crossing points and the creation of a crime analysis unit within the criminal investigations department.
Following the 2011 revolution, the project is aimed at supporting Libyan law enforcement in addressing transnational crimes such as trafficking in weapons, drugs and human beings, which generate violence and threaten to destabilize the country and the region.
The project consists of seven components :
- Performing a wide assessment of the threats posed to Libya by transnational organized crime and terrorism, to support the Libyan government and police in identifying strategic enforcement objectives;
- Initiating the building, within the Libyan police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID), of a sustainable operational Crime Analysis Unit;
- Advising the CID to take full operational advantage of the support provided by the future Crime Analysis Unit;
- Reinforcing the capacity of the INTERPOL National Central Bureau in Tripoli to make optimal use of the INTERPOL network and policing tools;
- Establishing remote access to INTERPOL databases in key Libyan law enforcement bodies and at strategic border crossing points;
- Building a prototype police criminal database within police headquarters to enable the Libyan police to efficiently store and share criminal information;
- Raising the awareness of and training the Libyan police on the international police cooperation tools and mechanisms provided by INTERPOL.
The 18-month long project, launched in September 2012, is being run from the Office of the Special Representative of INTERPOL to the European Union, with support from INTERPOL's Middle East and North Africa unit at the General Secretariat.

Vietnam Authorities Move to Stop Protestant Christmas Events
HANOI, Vietnam (Compass Direct News) – In what appeared to be part of a central government crackdown on Protestant Christianity in Vietnam, hundreds of Christians from 10 northern provinces were locked out of a Christmas celebration that was supposed to take place here on Sunday.
The throngs who arrived at the National Convention Center (NCC) in the Tu Kiem district of Hanoi for the Christmas event found the doors locked and a phalanx of police trying to send them away, sources said. Deeply disappointed, some of the Christians began singing and praying in the square in front to the center, they said.
Police moved in, striking some Christians with fists and night sticks in the melee that followed. A number of video clips of the action were posted online by Monday morning, Hanoi time. Christian leaders worked to calm the disappointed crowd, which eventually left, but not before at least six people – including the Rev. Nguyen Huu Bao, the scheduled speaker at the event – were arrested. They had not been released at press time.
Similar incidents occurred on Sunday in at least four other places throughout the country.
Unregistered house churches under the umbrella of the Hanoi Christian Fellowship rented the auditorium in the name of one of their members. A copy of the six-page contract obtained by Compass says the event was to be a reunion of Vietnamese who had worked in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc countries. Many of northern Vietnam's house church leaders became Christians during their time there.
While it was understood that this was to be a Christmas event, the managers of the state-owned facility did not want to put this in writing. Organizers had hoped that some 4,000 people would come.
The contract called for at least five days' written notice before the event if either side wanted to terminate the contract. According to one source, the NCC informed event organizers on Dec. 15, four days before the event, that the contract was voided but gave no reasons as the contract required. The organizers, having completed major preparations and distributed several thousand invitations, considered this a breach of contract and decided to try to go ahead.
When the first Christians arrived Sunday afternoon, they found the doors of the NCC locked. According to a source at the scene, a sign indicated a wedding was taking place. When more than 1,000 people had arrived, some decided to sing and pray in the square in front of the NCC. Police called for reinforcements.
One witness said "possibly hundreds" of uniformed and plainclothes personnel came to try to disperse the growing crowd. Reports from the scene and video clips on the Web show pushing and shoving, with some Christian leaders trying desperately to calm the agitated crowd. Some witnesses said officials punched some Christians, and others were struck hard with night sticks. Late police reinforcements carried electric cattle prods, according to one source. In one clip, people can be seen comforting an 86-year-old woman who was knocked down.
Gradually the Christians dispersed. For many Christians who tried to come – some from great distances and at great personal expense – this would have marked the first time they had ever worshipped in a large gathering.
Sources in Vietnam told Compass that similar stoppages also took place yesterday (Dec. 19) in Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, and Quang Nam provinces, and in the city of Danang in central Vietnam.
In Thanh Hoa province, Christians of various house church denominations planned a joint celebration yesterday at the home of a woman identified only as Tuyet in Dong Phu commune. Pastor Ho Van Thom sent an appeal to the church worldwide asking for the prayers. He arrived at the scene to find some Christians had been beaten and wounded by police intent on preventing their Christmas worship.
In Danang city in central Vietnam, the Rev. Ho Tan Khoa, superintendent of the unregistered United Presbyterian Church of Vietnam, was invited to preach at a house church Christmas celebration yesterday. Pastor Khoa reported that a distraught church leader told him authorities had come that morning and, without a warrant, carted off the chairs, the pulpit and the sound system. They also tore down the Christmas decorations including a backdrop painstakingly decorated by church members, he said.
In Ho Chi Minh City, house churches have received permission for a public Christmas celebration both from authorities of the central government in Hanoi and of Ho Chi Minh City for an event on Dec. 26. But church leaders say that potential venue owners, obviously under threat, will not dare rent to them.
Even those who closely follow Protestant church developments in Vietnam were somewhat surprised at the severity of the crackdown. One well-respected overseas Vietnam leader observed that it is now clear that this was a coordinated, well-planned and executed crackdown involving top Communist Party and government officials.
He noted that sometimes officials in remote areas of the country are excused when they persecute Christians on the grounds they do not yet know the new, more enlightened religion policies of the central government.
"In this case," he said, "the strong actions against Christians are taking place in Vietnam's three largest cities. They can't use that excuse."
Another observer said that authorities likely became alarmed at the size and attraction of the Christmas events in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi last Christmas. The events in those two cities attracted more than 50,000 people. They were organized by unregistered house churches that somehow obtained permission in spite of prohibitions of such events by Vietnam's Decree 22, which governs religion.
One key church leader in Vietnam informed Compass that Directive No. 75, a secret Ministry of Interior document dated Oct. 15, ordered the crackdown on unregistered groups.
Unregistered groups are caught in limbo. Denominations with a history before the 1975 communist takeover of Vietnam have now been registered, but many groups that began in the 1980s and later have tried but failed to register their congregations as provided by Vietnam's regulations. Their requests have mostly been ignored or denied, leaving them vulnerable to capricious repression.
As Christmas Day draws near, it appears the 400,000 or so Protestants that belong to unregistered churches will be denied celebrating together.

Stock rubber control arm bushings give a disconnected and mushy feel to the front suspension, especially when worn, as the bushing deflects more than it should. You get sloppy steering, vibrations, and poor handling which makes the car feel unstable. These urethane bushings are stiffer than stock rubber and will not deflect as much. This helps keep the alignment in check with less variation. The car feels more planted and confidence-inspiring. And a lifetime warranty means you'll likely never have to pay for another bushing ever again!

I have created some bots on Teams to be used internally.
Previously I have shared the bot with the link generated and it worked well, until today I found when clicking into the link, there's an alert saying "this app couldn't be found or the orgnization doesn't allow it to be used" (maybe not extacly what it is in English as my app is in my own language". In the meanwhile, the bot is still functioning if someone has installed it before.
I checked with my organization IT and they said nothing's got turned off at administrator level.
I have colleague who had the same issue with me. We both had trial license on web - but expired. However we built our end product on Teams not on the web. Would this be the reason?
But is Power virtual agent on Teams free as long as we have Microsoft 365 licence?
Anyone who had the similar issue or anyone who knows what's going on in such cases?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Pessoal, estou com o mesmo problema desde ontem...
Good Afternoon,
Has anyone heard an update on this issue? We have four bots for our organization and none of them are working currently either?
I started a case with Microsoft to analyze the current situation, this Friday they will tell me the progress.
This issue has been resolved by the Microsoft Teams team as of 2:20 pm PST. Please let us know if this is still occurring for you. Apologies for any inconvenience. Thanks!
I confirm the resolution. Thank you so much
Thank you for the team and updating the status!
Yes, it works now!
I confirm this is working now. Thanks for the resolution.
Links in bot responses (such as email addresses etc.) still don't work for me.. Any ideas how to resolve it?

Edwin Jackson (1-0, 3.48) vs. Shaun Marcum (0-2, 12.46).
Who will face the Rangers in the World Series? The Brewers have lost only one game at home this postseason, but they'll have to win two straight to earn the right to face Texas. And Shaun Marcum, who had a solid regular season but who has been disastrous in the playoffs so far, has to show up today. Oh, and the defense can't make four errors. That kind of stuff kind of makes it harder to not lose.

A grand jury indicted Fabian Johnson, 19, of Washington earlier this week in connection with the murder of a city resident in October.
Johnson is accused of shooting Bob Cory McNeely, 40, to death on the 1200 block of Wythe St. on October 20. During his preliminary hearing in January, the prosecution's eyewitness testified McNeely and Johnson had an argument several days before their final confrontation.
McNeely was the city's sole murder victim in 2011. Authorities picked Johnson up in Georgia just days after launching their investigation.
Attorney Christopher Liebieg is defending Johnson. The trial is slated to begin in May.

A long time ago, I (this is John, btw) brought a picture of the famous sexual harassment cake to our local bakery, to see if the Nice Older Ladies there would recreate it for a party.
Me: [handing over picture] "Hi there! I was wondering if you could make a cake like this for me."
Nice Older Lady: [looking at picture] "Uh..." [gasping in horror] [looking at me as though I was a dirty, demon-possessed pervert] "No."
Me: [embarrassed] "Oh, well, the cake is saying that kind of behavior is bad. See, that's what the big 'NO' sign means." [smiling innocently]
Nice Older Lady: [flagging down Nice Older Manager Lady]
Nice Older Manager Lady: [looking at picture] [calling security] [writing down my physical description in a big red book] [smiling thinly] "I'm sorry, sir. We don't put smut on cakes."
So, sure, that was embarrassing, and now I can't shop for croissants without being shadowed by Billy the stock boy, but the good news is that bakeries have a line, and one that will not be crossed. Which is a relief, because otherwise these cakes might have had me worried.
When first we...
Spidey! Stop that!
Now this is some crotch rocket:
Thanks Elisabeth M., Anony M., Laura E., Josef V., & Bethany P. Oh, and hey, could you pick me up some croissants?

Huevos Ahogados En Salsa Verde + Tomatillo Salsa Verde
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...While it is something I normally purchase, I made our salsa verde this summer. I wanted to control the heat the sauce contained for the young among us, and the only way that could be done was to make it myself. I found a recipe that that could be made hot or not and soon found myself making a batch of each to keep everyone happy. The sauce takes about 15 minutes to assemble and by controlling the number and type of chilies, I was able to make mild and hot sauce at the same sitting. I used stemmed and seeded jalapenos for the milder version but relied on Serrano chilies for the fire eaters in my gang. With so much sauce lying around I had to find ways to use the excess. While looking for recipes that would help me do that, I came across one for eggs poached in salsa verde and decided to give it a try. Conceptually, the recipe was very much like the one I use to make Eggs in Purgatory, so I suspected the dish would be quite good. It was. Because the eggs can't be made without salsa, today's post will feature two recipes. I'll start with the salsa and then move on to the recipe for the huevos ahogados, or "drowned eggs." Here are the recipes.
Tomatillo Salsa Verde...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite, courtesy of Recipe Tips
1 pound tomatillos, husked
3 jalapeños - fresh, seeded, cut in half
1/2 onion - quartered
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup cilantro - chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
Combine tomatillos,onion and jalapeno in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until al dente rather than soft. Drain. Transfer vegetables to a blender or food processor. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Store in refrigerator. Salsa can be kept refrigerated, three to five days. Yield: 2 cups.
Huevos Ahogados En Salsa Verde...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite, courtesy of Michael Nankin
3 cups tomatillo salsa, thinned to the consistency of tomato soup
4 eggs
Sea salt
1) Bring salsa to a simmer in a small saucepan set over medium heat.
2) Carefully crack eggs into sauce. Cover pot and cook for 3 minutes. Remove lid and check to see if whites are completely cooked. If not, cover, and continue to cook until white is no longer transparent. Transfer eggs and a portion of the sauce to individual serving bowls. Garnish with cilantro and a pinch of sea salt. Serve with warm tortillas to mop up sauce. Yield: 4 servings.

I am more towards the child version of the salsa since my stomach is very sensitive to hot dishes. The way you prepared it with the eggs is ideal. I loved it.

This sounds decidedly better than the breakfast I just had--rye bread with sliced tomatoes (it was good--just not very exciting). I'm especially grateful for the salsa recipe as my husband doesn't care for hot sauces. I can make some for him, then "heat" it up for me. Thanks!

OMG that looks wonderful with the egg!! Funny, I live in the southwest where tomatillos seem to be abundant all year long and I have still never made a salsa verde, heck I've never even cooked with them. Looks like I'm going to have to change that!!

13) I contributed Festhalls to the Realms. Ed's original city maps had a high population of brothels, which made them inadvisable to publish. Our choices were rename them or rekey all the maps. I came up with the festhall name, which by definition spread out to handle a multitude of sins (feasts of both foods and flesh, and a bit of day spa added as well). I am very aware when someone else uses them in a fantasy novel.I've always considered "festhalls" to be a perfect example of the kind of sanitization of D&D that frequently drove me away from the game in the late 80s and throughout the 90s. I understand the logic behind it, but it bugs me and, worse yet, it contributes to a false impression of what the Realms are actually like. To be clear, I don't blame Mr Grubb for this either, even though he's the immediate cause of the existence of festhalls. I certainly don't think he should have "made a stand" back in 1987 over something as comparatively trivial as this, even if I think the decision on the part of TSR's management was a poor one.
Thanks to Dan at Sword and Board for the heads-up on Mr Grubb's post.

My last post notwithstanding I had a truly magnificent time at BlogHer '08. I expected to meet a lot of people, which I did. I expected to make a fool out of myself, which I did. But here are some things that I didn't expect (along with all of the shameless name-dropping that I totally feel entitled to do now):
1. To have Loralee actually squeal when she saw me at the Newbie Mixer on Thursday night.
2. To be standing in a triangle with Graham and Mike at the People's Party, getting our Bay Area Dad Bloggerness on in the middle of a sea of women.
3. To have my bullshit seen through by Oh the Joys and then to get teased by her all weekend about it.
4. To be given one of Carmen's "four mile hike" muffins.
5. To be recognized by Lisa Stone and thanked for participating on the BlogHer website, with references to actual participations!
6. To see, on the great big screens at the front of the ballroom during the opening breakfast, a screenshot of my blog and some lame quote. Several times. Thanks "Blogher-big-screen-slideshow" Committee. You both mortified me and made me feel awesomely welcome and involved.
7. To be practically adopted by Tanis, who was awesome and acerbic and who forced me way out of my comfort zone to meet people.
8. To fall in love more than a little bit. With Catherine's infant son.
9. To be told by Ali how cute I am in person.
10. To hear variations on "Oh my god! Backpacking Dad!" enough times to feel like a huge, monster, Rock Star. I can only hope that I gushed similarly often enough to ease the karmic burden of all of that appreciation. My ego has been swollen to such an inappropriate size that I will be sentencing myself to the Python Abuse Room for a good week and a half to come back down to earth.
11. To discover how much I like mojitos. Even $11 mojitos.
Bah, there are a thousand of these I could write.
I was really touched, ladies. If every guy could go to BlogHer and have the same experience you'd be beating us away with great big sticks. It was an amazing experience that I'm never going to forget.

From the Associated Press / FoxNews.com:
VATICAN CITY – Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI came home to the Vatican on Thursday for the first time since he resigned Feb. 28, beginning an unprecedented era for the Catholic Church of having a retired pontiff living alongside a reigning one.
Pope Francis welcomed Benedict outside his new retirement home — a converted monastery on the edge of the Vatican gardens — and the two immediately went into the adjoining chapel to pray together, the Vatican said.
The Vatican said Benedict, 86, was pleased to be back and that he would — as he himself has said — "dedicate himself to the service of the church above all with prayer." Francis, the statement said, welcomed him with "brotherly cordiality."
A photo released by the Vatican showed the two men, arms clasped and both smiling, standing inside the doorway of Benedict's new home as Benedict's secretary looks on.
Unlike the live, door-to-door Vatican-provided television coverage that accompanied Benedict's emotional farewell in February, the Vatican provided no television images of his return Thursday.
The low-key approach followed the remarkable yet somewhat alarming images transmitted on March 23 when Francis went to visit Benedict at the papal retreat in Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome, where Benedict was living. In that footage, Benedict appeared visibly more frail and thinner only three weeks after resigning.
Some Vatican officials questioned whether those images should have been released, given how frail Benedict appeared. Thursday's photo showed no obvious signs of further decline.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, has acknowledged Benedict's post-retirement decline but has insisted the 86-year-old German isn't suffering from any specific ailment and is just old.
"He is a man who is not young: He is old and his strength is slowly ebbing," Lombardi said this week. "However, there is no special illness. He is an old man who is healthy."
Benedict chose to leave the Vatican immediately after his resignation to physically remove himself from the process of electing his successor and from Pope Francis' first weeks as pontiff.
His absence also gave workers time to finish up renovations on the monastery tucked behind St. Peter's Basilica that until last year housed groups of cloistered nuns who were invited for a few years at a time to live inside the Vatican to pray.
In the compact, four-story building, Benedict will live with his personal secretary, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, and the four consecrated women who look after him, preparing his meals and tending to the household. The building also has a small library, a study and a guest room for when his brother, Monsignor Georg Ratzinger, comes to visit.
"It is certainly small but well-equipped," Lombardi said.
When Benedict announced his intention to resign — the first pontiff to do so in 600 years — questions immediately swirled about the implications of having two popes living alongside one another inside the Vatican.
Benedict fueled those concerns when he chose to be called "emeritus pope" and "Your Holiness" rather than "emeritus bishop of Rome." He also raised eyebrows when he chose to continue wearing the white cassock of the papacy.
Given the political intrigues that plague the Vatican, it wasn't much of a stretch of the imagination to wonder if some cardinals, bishops and monsignors — not to mention ordinary Catholics — might continue making Benedict their point of reference rather than the new pope.
But Benedict made clear on his final day as pope that he was renouncing the job and pledged his "unconditional reverence and obedience" to his then-unknown successor. It was a pledge he repeated in person on March 23 when Francis went to have lunch with him.
It was during that visit that the world saw how weak Benedict had become: Always a man with a purposeful walk, he shuffled tentatively that day, using his cane.
Francis, for his part, seems utterly unfazed by the novel situation. He has frequently invoked Benedict's name and work and has called him on a half-dozen occasions, making clear he has no intention of ignoring the fact that there's another pope still very much alive and now living on the other side of the garden.
Francis' gestures to Benedict during that March 23 visit were also remarkable: He refused to pray on the special papal kneeler in the small chapel of Castel Gandolfo, preferring to join Benedict on a kneeler in the pews, and referring to his predecessor as his "brother."
Now that they're neighbors, they might bump into one another on walks in the Vatican gardens or at the shrine to the Madonna, which is just a stone's throw from Benedict's new home.
