Nuts with curved faces have long been the standard in passive protection. The curved faces provide 3 points of contact with the rock, which make the nuts more stable as well as more versatile than older, straight-sided nut designs. However, existing curved nut designs have been limited by the available technology. Metolius has been working to perfect CNC machining to the point that we can sculpt almost any shape we want from metal. This has allowed them to optimize the shape of the nut and orient the curve from side to side rather than top to bottom. The Metolius Curve Nut shape offers all the advantages of existing curved nut designs (3 points of contact), but it is naturally more stable in flares, and because they have a straight taper from top to bottom, it is much easier to judge placement quality.
- By attaching the cable directly to the nut and eliminating the swage Metolius has made these 30% lighter than the competition
- Anodized heads are color-coded for easy differentiation
- Combines the stability of 3-point contact with the ease of a straight-sided taper
- CNC technology for optimized shape
- Side-to-side curve for greater stability in flaring placements
- Straight-sided taper makes it easy to judge placement quality.
- CNC machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum
- CE certified

- "Said I'll be lettin' you live, but the sharks may not be so charitable..."
- ―Jolly Roger to a pirate, forcing him to walk the plank
Sharks (superorder Selachimorpha) were a type of fish with a full cartilaginous skeleton and a highly streamlined body. The earliest known sharks date from more than 420 million years ago, making them some of the oldest living creatures in the world.
- "Only the darkness saved us, for they sent out boats to kill those they found alive in the water. Hard to say which was worse, them or the sharks. We heard that devil crew laughin' when men screamed as they were pulled under."
- ―Hector Barbossa
When the rogue pirates destroyed Hector Barbossa's ship, the Cobra, many members of his crew were killed by the sharks.[1] In the graveyard of lost ships off the coast of Isla de Muerta, where many honest sailors have been claimed by this passage, sharks inhabited these waters.[2] When Barbossa realized that it was Will Turner's blood he really needed to lift the Aztec curse, Elizabeth Swann was worthless to him. So he didn't hesitate to make her walk the plank, to face the sharks—or a slower death on a barren island.[3] On his neck, Scrum wore a necklace that included a lucky shark's tooth.[4]
Behind the scenesEdit
- Some concept art from The Curse of the Black Pearl had sharks, mainly the art focusing on the cursed crew or the Black Pearl. For unknown reasons, hammerhead sharks could only be seen at swimming under a graveyard of lost ships in the final cut.
- Originally, Davy Jones had, as noted in The Complete Visual Guide: "black eyes as soulless as a shark's."[5] But the character's design had changed, possibly because actor Bill Nighy had blue eyes.
- In Pirates of the Caribbean Online a player who goes fishing can catch two types of sharks.

Lecturer to explore race and athletics in America
Author, educator and social activist Harry Edwards will visit Radford University on Wednesday, March 6, to speak about the interplay between race and athletics.
The lecture, titled "Race and Sport in America: a Legacy of Promise, Contradiction and Collapsing Opportunity," will be presented by the Office of the Provost, the Philosophy and Religious Studies Club and the Sociology Club.
"For decades, Dr. Edwards has written about exploitation of black athletes by college athletic programs," said Carter Turner, associate professor of religious studies at RU and an organizer of the event. "The possible exploitation of athletes is part of a larger conversation about the mission of universities and the role of big-time college athletics."
An open discussion will follow Edwards' free public lecture, which will be at 7 p.m. in Bondurant Auditorium. His appearance on campus is one in a series of forums on the relationship between academics and athletics, Turner said. At a session planned for April 2, the RU faculty will revisit the issue with special consideration of the recent Penn State scandal.
"Our hope is that Dr. Edwards' talk and April's forum will help generate an honest assessment of Radford's athletic and academic relationship and help RU avoid the pitfalls that many universities experience," Turner said.
Edwards, who holds degrees from San Jose State University and Cornell University, came to public attention in 1968 when he advocated a boycott of the 1968 Olympics by black athletes. He taught sociology at the University of California-Berkeley from 1970 to 2000 and worked as a consultant on diversity issues for the National Football League, the National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball. He has written four books and numerous articles on the topics of sport, sociology and race.

An one-panel, gag-a-day NewspaperComic created in 1968 by Bill Hoest, continued since his death in 1988 by Bunny Hoest and John Reiner.
The comic's protagonist are Leroy and Loretta Lockhorn, a married couple who hate each other.
That's pretty much all there is to it. The strips usually feature Leroy and Loretta making passive-aggressive, sarcastic one-liners at each other, whether to the other's face, or to some third party, though light satire of everyday life also abounds.
!!This comic features tropes such as:
* AllMenArePerverts: Leroy often dances and/or looks at the resident busty woman who happens to be in the room/at the beach/wherever. When Loretta is ''five feet away from him.'' Usually, she just snarks about it.
* AlliterativeName: '''L'''eroy and '''L'''oretta '''L'''ockhorn.
* AwfulWeddedLife: The source of all humour in the strip.
* DeadpanSnarker: Both protagonists.
* TheEeyore: Both Leroy and Loretta, again.
* FamilyTitle
* LazyHusband
* LethalChef
* TheMasochismTango
* MenAreUncultured - Leroy often sleeps through or complains about things Loretta drags him to, some of which are ballets, operas, etc.
* NoAccountingForTaste
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Loretta's mother is a frequent target of Leroy's snark.
* PerpetualFrowner: Everyone's range of expressions consists of "depressed and bored" and "infuriated", with only the occasional "grimly satisfied" or "inebriated".
* PunnyName: The Lockhorns are always "locking horns" with each other.
* WomenDrivers

Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor believes he had to change the culture of his team.
In an interview with the Pioneer Press, Taylor discussed why he traded Kevin Garnett this summer to Boston, hired coach Randy Wittman and fired former coach Dwane Casey last season, among other issues.
Pioneer Press: What are your expectations for Wittman this season?
Glen Taylor: I just think that he is somehow able to figure out a rotation. It's a difficult challenge. But if he can figure out a rotation that sort of works and sort of keeps all these guys happy – I'm saying I think this is going to be really difficult.
I think he will get them to play as a team. That's my expectation. I think if they don't, he will take them out (of the game). I think we'll have 15 guys on the team, and you might see some guy sitting on the 13th or 14th or 15th spot. And I think you can figure out why they're sitting there. Randy says, "I don't think you've been playing as a team member in practice, and I'm going to discipline you and you're going to sit there." I think those guys are not going to like that. He's going to have to handle that. I'm a believer in that, so I'll back him on that.
I don't know on the wins and losses. I know I saw some other teams last year that had young guys on them, and they beat us a lot. What I saw on those teams is that they played hard. I guess if I had guys that really played hard and lost, I'm not sure that I'd be upset with that, as long as they played hard.
I thought last year, in a lot of games, we were the better team, but we just didn't play hard. So even when we won by two points, I didn't even feel good about it. We should have put them away in the third quarter by 10 points, and our guys relaxed and let them back in the game. Yeah, we won. But we shouldn't have won on a last-second shot, and I didn't like it.
I think fans like to see people give their best effort. I just didn't see that we did that last year a lot.
PP: You didn't see enough effort when Wittman was the coach or when Casey was in charge, before he was fired in January?
GT: I didn't see it in either one. I thought I was going to see it when Randy took over. I don't think I saw it like what I expected to see. There was some improvement, but I don't think he ever got it.
PP: So why did you re-sign Wittman to be the permanent coach?
GT: I don't know if we could have made those changes with K.G. here. I don't know that Randy would have made any difference if K.G. was here. I think without K.G., with new guys, it might work with Randy.
It has more to do with K.G., and K.G. not liking Mike James, and Marko (Jaric), and he didn't like Mark Blount. Heavens, half the starting team. And Ricky (Davis) didn't listen to (Wittman). So it was kind of like, holy gripes. But I don't know who I could have brought in. I know I would have had to bring in a really experienced guy. There weren't too many guys available.
Maybe the Houston coach (former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy). I probably would have gone after him, because he could have come up here and maybe set the tone. You would have had to have had a guy like that. But once I made up my mind, which I did pretty early after the season … that K.G. was gone, by that time, it was like, well then I think if I do that, then I think Randy can work.
PP: Was Garnett's personality, or something else about him, pushing you to trade him?
GT: I think there was a lot of stuff going on that we just couldn't talk about publicly. K.G. wanted Trenton (Hassell, forward) around. K.G. wanted Troy (Hudson, guard) around. And those guys took advantage of the situation, and it drove me nuts. I thought both of those guys could have been better players. But somehow because K.G. stuck up for them, they probably would have both been better players this year without K.G. But they had gone down the rope so far.
There was just a lot of little things going on. Ricky did some things, said some things that were wrong. K.G. should have confronted him. And he didn't do it. Then Dwane didn't do it, either. I asked K.G. about it, and his answer kind of was, 'I just don't want to baby-sit him.' I know those are kind of harsh words, but that's what leadership is about. None of us like to call it baby-sitting.
But leadership is taking on things at times when you might think it's beneath you. But it's not beneath you because you cut them off when they're little things. That's the time to cut them off, before they become major things. K.G. could have said it in a way that they would have done it.
PP: In what ways did Hassell and Hudson take advantage of their relationship with Garnett?
GT: They just didn't put the effort into it like they should have. Somehow, Trenton thought he had earned the starting role, and K.G. would keep him on the starting role. Neither guy would help certain teammates out on the floor. It wasn't as apparent to me until Wittman said, "here's what they're doing, watch them". They would run a play, and Trenton was supposed to cover for the other guy, and he wouldn't cover for the other guy. The fans didn't know that. So the other guy looked pretty stupid.
It was little stuff that ticked their teammates off. They did it to Mike James. They did it to Ricky sometimes. Of course, Ricky did it to them sometimes. Ricky was smart enough to figure things out. You don't cover my guy, I don't cover your guy. It was that type of little crap. What I'm kind of saying is, if they do it this year, pull them out of the gosh-darn game. Sit them down right there. So now you know, I'm pulling you out. I'll put you back in, but you're not doing what you just did. I saw what you did. And he can have Jerry (Sichting, assistant coach) tell them that. Or he can have Bob (Ociepka, assistant coach) tell them that. But don't make it like, well, the coach is going to jump on that guy in public.
PP: It sounds like trading Garnett almost became a necessity. Do you have any regrets about trading him?
GT: Business-wise, yes. Only in the sense that I like K.G. as a person. We put a lot of time in together. Also, I saw fans loved to watch him. He was an interesting player you hate to give up because you could build something around him. I felt bad that we never got what we wanted to. If your question is right now, do I know it's absolutely the right decision that had to be made, I do, for some reasons that you know and the other ones you're guessing at, yeah.
PP: Do you wish you had made the coaching change with Casey at a different point?
GT: I would have done it earlier, and I suggested doing it earlier. Randy wouldn't accept (taking over), and I don't think Kevin (McHale, vice president) was ready to (make a change). I'm not saying I was right. But if you're asking me, yeah, I probably saw how we went and how we got off so badly right at the very beginning. I didn't know how you were going to resurrect that. To me you had to resurrect that during the preseason.
PP: Was Wittman's disciplinarian style attractive because there was some dissension on the team last season?
GT: I think it was really important for us. It was probably the mistake we made in Dwane. I think Dwane was really a nice guy. I think a lot of guys liked him. But boy, I tell you, they just ate him up. It wasn't fair to him. I saw what happens when you can't do it that way (be a disciplinarian).
I think you have to learn about each of the guys and maybe do it a little bit different. Yeah, to me, in my speeches (to fans and the public) what I will say is that Randy will have discipline, and he will hold them accountable. I guess I'm really kind of saying that that is a quality we're asking him to do to all of the guys on the team. Then we're bringing in a couple veteran guys. And (forward) Mark Madsen will be one of our veteran guys who will adhere to that and reinforce that. Jerry and the coaches that he has on his staff, I think they're pretty much all in tune with that. They're pretty serious guys.
PP: You mentioned Wittman will keep vice president Kevin McHale further from the team than his predecessors, Casey and Flip Saunders. Why should Wittman take that approach?
GT: I think Randy will want to run the team. Randy's kind of tough in that. I think he's tough enough to tell Kevin don't talk to my team unless I tell you to talk to my team. The other two guys, they didn't do that.
There's times to talk to the team. I wouldn't go talk to the team without my coach's OK because I think you're really sending a mixed message sometimes. Kevin probably has done that. He used to do it in practice with Flip around. I used to see him talking in practice. I think it ticked the heck out of Flip.
I think Randy has already told him not to. I'm sure he has. I see what's happening. I'm sure Randy just said, "Kevin, if you've got something to say about the team, and you want it to be better, just meet with me". I think that's good. It's probably good for Kevin, too.

Hsieh, like several of his tech billionaire ilk, has a varied history as both a C.E.O. and an investor: after selling his first company to Microsoft for $265 million in 1998, Hsieh invested in several companies, including Ask Jeeves, OpenTable, and a cockamamie idea an investor pitched him that centered on selling shoes online. By the time Amazon purchased the company in 2009, Zappos.com was selling clothes, too; today it pulls in more than a billion dollars in revenue per year.
But why does Hsieh insist on living in a trailer park, where he and his neighbors tend to the community pet alpaca? For one, he owns it. The park, once a vacant lot, is part of his $350-million revitalization plan for downtown Las Vegas—it's now packed with sleek silver Airstream trailers that he rents to visiting coders, according to a New York Times profile. But why is he investing millions in revitalizing Las Vegas, a tourist pit, when he could easily place his entire team in Silicon Valley? It has to do with Hsieh's insistence that Zappos be customer-oriented and independently driven: "You don't want to think of your customer as a dollar sign. You want to truly and authentically connect to their humanity," he told Playboy.

|Netflix Goes Live on Sony BRAVIA Televisions
|Home Theater News LCD HDTV News
|Tuesday, 17 November 2009
Sony announced today that its line of BRAVIA internet capable TVs have joined the ever growing ranks of devices capable of streaming videos from Netflix. A quick firmware update – and of course, a Netflix account – is all users need to get up and running with the service.
According to the press release from Netflix, the Sony products that will be able to use the service consist of all Sony BRAVIA Internet Video capable HDTVs, previous BRAVIA models compatible with Sony's BRAVIA Internet video link module and the Sony Network Blu-ray Disc Player.
New players should be Netflix ready right out of the box this holiday season, but existing owners will need to connect and download a firmware update to get the added functionality. This will certainly add to the appeal of these Sony products this holiday season, but Netflix is almost certainly getting the most out of the deal.

There are car shows and there are car shows, and then there's the Pacific Coast Dream Machines Show, an annual potpourri of steel, rubber, oil, wheels and glass.
Car shows, as rule, are usually pretty stratified — it's cars and more cars. But the Pacific Coast show, this Sunday, is nothing if not eclectic. Far more than a car show, it features just about everything man has developed over the past 100-plus years that will get from A to B, usually with an internal combusion engine.
Planes, motorcycles, cars (of course), tractors, steam engines, trucks, and more. Some 2,000 of them.
This year, the show promises to have, among other things, a flock of military planes — a Japanese A6M Zero, a YAK Russian fighter, a Curtiss P-40 Kitty Hawk, a Grumman F6-F Hellcat and a P-51 Mustang.
The show will benefit the Coastside Adult Day Health Center in Half Moon Bay. It runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, April 26, at the Half Moon Bay Airport, on Highway 1, about 1.5 miles north of Highway 92.
Admission is $20 for adults, $10 for ages 11 to 17 and for those 65 and older, free for children 10 and under. More information at (650) 726-2328 or at this Web site.

This letter, written to a sister living in the North, reflects the views of a pro-Union woman residing in Gainesville, Georgia, at the close of the Civil War. She tells of the suffering in the South due to the blockade and to the demands of returning soldiers. Among the subjects discussed in the letter are losses by Southerners who invested in Confederate bonds, efforts of ladies in preparing clothes for soldiers and her refusal to participate in this activity, murder of Union prisoners by the home guard, plans of neighbors to move to Mexico, lack of new clothes as a result of the war, and family news. The writer, identified only as "Mitt," expresses her pleasure at the outcome of the war and speculates as to whether slaves would actually be freed and Southern land confiscated.

There is a lot of talk at the government, industry, and producer level about the promise of games in education, but has anyone really proven true educational outcomes from informal gaming? In this presentation, Sara and Drew will share some of the most effective gameplay mechanics for teaching kids, discuss how challenges and rewards influence outcomes, showcase video of kids engaged in gameplay, present some of the latest theories for skill-scaffolding within games, and share outcome data from real educational gaming evaluations. Using specific examples, we will show how learning and well-designed games share important traits (like fun, frustration, failure and flow) that get kids engaged and motivated.

Designers of all kinds are key players in the game of change that so typifies the opening decades of the 21st century. Called on to imagine, build, guide, demystify, explain, provoke, enable and inspire, game designers deal daily in the currency of transformation—of places, practices, and perspectives. Play is a key strategy in developing a design practice that is agile enough to entertain a constant need for transformative thinking but substantive enough to throw its strategic weight around when needed. This talk will delve into a set of tasty truisms gleaned from professional game designers about what happens to play when approached from the perspective of learning. What they have to say will both surprise and inform.

D-backs fans play for cash on 'Bucks on the Pond'
In the milestone 40th overall episode of the hit MLB.com game show "Bucks on the Pond," powered by Ford, Major League Baseball legend Frank Thomas asks D-backs fan contestants Adam Akroyd and Danny Brunner of Phoenix to name the seven-letter word for a pitcher-and-catcher combination.
"Battery," they correctly replied, and the coincidence was not lost on the pair. They have been friends since age 5, when Brunner was pitcher and Akroyd was catcher on their local T-ball team. Now they are a baseball combo act again on a larger scale, stars on their favorite team's site, seen in their authentic D-backs jerseys on a Chase Field concourse fielding questions as the first D-backs episode of "Bucks" was released on Thursday -- the 11th episode of this season.
"No way did that just happen," Akroyd said. "Right place at the right time."
"Bucks" is hosted by Jeremy Brisiel, and you might be a part of it this season when you least expect it. Fans at the ballpark interact with MLB.com's studio through the magic of technology in conjunction with game action inside. In creating a new experience for fans, MLB.com is giving people a chance to earn bucks while they spend bucks at the ballpark.
Contestants are asked a trivia question -- general knowledge and baseball -- on each pitch during a half-inning of baseball. Get the question correct and win money. Get the question wrong and it's a strike. Three strikes and you're out.
The questions' difficulty and value increase with the number of outs in the on-field action: $5 easy questions to start, $10 medium-difficulty questions after one out, $20 hard questions after two outs. If the contestant lasts longer than the team's at-bat, they win the bucks in their bank.
Here's the new wrinkle: Cross the $100 mark during the show and it's time for "Say The Word" powered by Ford SYNC. You can wager any part of your bank on the next question. Answer correctly and you win, answer incorrectly and you lose that amount ... and it's another strike. That's where the Big Hurt's "battery" question came in.
"We were little. We'd just started," Brunner recalled of those days.
It wasn't long after their T-ball season that MLB expanded into Phoenix, and Brunner and Akroyd have been D-backs fans since the club's inception in 1998. Their best memories?
"I'm not going to go with the mainstream answer, the 2001 World Series game-winning hit," Brunner said. "Tony Womack's inside-the-park grand slam on Father's Day after his dad passed away. That was probably the best moment in D-backs history."
"I'll go with the normal 2001 World Series," Akroyd added. "That was the best. It just gives you chills every single time you see it. You could see it 20 years from now and it still will give you chills. Who else would you want at the plate besides Gonzo?"
Topics covered in this episode include Apple, George Washington, Greece, housing rentals, Chinese food, Academy Awards, Neil Armstrong, Dixie Chicks, U.S. states, eye color, "Peanuts," diamonds, baseball teammates and '50s music.
"I saw a guy with the lanyard that said 'MLB.com' and instantly I was excited," Brunner said of being asked to participate. "He said 'free money,' so why not? We're already at a D-backs game."
What did they plan to do with their bucks if they won some? "Rent. Pay rent. Prioritize," Brunner said. Akroyd shook his head: "Buy D-backs gear, man."
They built some two-strike drama in this episode, and you'll just have to watch the video to see how it all came out. Was it time to pay rent and buy gear? Was it back to T-ball? Here is their advice for future fans who might see the "Bucks" crew at their park:

24 Ways to Stop Wasting Food This Month
The Chew cohost and author of The Happy Cook invites us into her New York City home for a dinner party with besties including Lauren Bush Lauren and Katie Lee. Check out her easy menu and genius hostess hints.More
Ask Daphne Oz where she's the happiest, and her answer comes easily: the kitchen. "I love the way being in the kitchen makes me feel. Cooking, eating, entertaining — food was always love for me in that way," she says. In her newest cookbook, The Happy Cook, the New York Times best-selling author shares easy family favorites (her dad is Dr. Oz!) and simple party dishes. ($19, amazon.com)
"I like to provide my family [husband John; daughter Philomena, 2; and son John Jr., 1] with really delicious, healthy meals, but I also want to save myself some time. I just aim to do the little things a bit better — which is why the book is full of quick flavor boosters and easy swaps. Eating your own food should always feel like a celebration."
Since she grew up making dinner each evening with her mother, it's especially important to Daphne that her children pick up her love of cooking — and eating. "My grandmother taught me not to make dinner a battle of wills — if you're constantly fighting to get your kids to eat the thing you make, it becomes less about the food and more about them trying to resist you." Daphne's solution? Nightly family dinners. "My mother and grandmother were my original 'happy cooks' — their tables were the ones I felt happiest gathered around, and my parenting has really been formed by that," she explains. "My husband and I sit the kids down to dinner with the mentality of 'This is what we're all eating.' I want to cook one meal for all of us and not feel like a short-order cook, so we show them by example what we want them to eat. Our kitchen is where the fun happens, where we all share the end of the day and where they start to feel like grown-ups."

Nothing To Fear But Fear Itself, And A Bad Attitude
Jedidiah Becker for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
Putting aside pop-psychology adages that claim the contrary, simply confronting our fears isn´t always the most effective way of defeating them. Instead, researchers now say that to gain lasting freedom from our deep-seated phobias, we have to change our attitudes towards the objects and experiences in which those fears are rooted.A team of Ohio State University psychologists recently found that among two groups of people who were treated with exposure therapy — for which individuals must confront their fears in a non-threatening environment — those individuals who had a negative attitude toward public speaking were more likely to relapse into their phobia than those who had developed a positive attitude.
What´s more, by devising a new method to evaluate each individual´s attitude immediately following exposure therapy, the researchers believe that they have given therapists a new tool for determining whether or not a patient might need to undergo a few more treatment sessions.
Their research was recently published in the journal Behaviour Research and Therapy.
Psychologists have long known that a large percentage of patients relapse into their phobias even after they have successfully completed intense therapy programs. The Ohio State team suspects that this return of fear may be related to the fact that most therapies tend to focus on equipping the patient with tools for fighting against their fears while leaving their fundamental negative attitude towards the source of the fear unchanged and unchallenged.
These negative attitudes arise because of a deeply anchored psychological association between the object of fear — whether it´s public speaking or poisonous snakes — and a powerful negative feeling that is usually rooted in a negative experience or memory. The result is that a person with a phobia typically can´t even see or think about the object of their fear without experiencing an automatic negative reaction.
According the National Institute of Mental Health, almost 9 percent of Americans, or about 20 million people, live with phobias.
"In exposure therapy, people can learn some skills to control the negativity and fear that got automatically activated and be able to perform well despite that activation. But if that´s all that happens, then the person may still very likely have a problem because there will be situations where their confidence will end up being eroded, they won´t be able to manage their fear and they will have a failure experience," explained Russell Fazio, Ohio State psychology professor and senior author of the study.
"The other thing treatment can do is actually change the likelihood that that negativity or fear is automatically activated when one is placed in that situation. We argue that treatment will provide more persistent improvement if it succeeds in changing that attitude representation," he continued.
"Overall, we´d like to see if clinicians can get people to view success in therapy not as a limited experience, but instead as an opportunity to really learn something about themselves. To the extent that we promote that generalization, we´re going to promote attitude change."
The researchers studied 40 people between the ages of 18 and 46 who had been diagnosed as having an anxiety disorder related to public speaking. The team measured the participants´ phobias and attitudes using a combination of questionnaires, heart-rate recordings and subjective units of distress — a scale that allowed the subjects to rate their anxiety level while they gave a speech.
As part of the exposure therapy, the participants were each given three minutes to prepare a five-minute speech on two topics that had been randomly selected for them. The participants were then asked to give the speeches in front of an audience and camera without using notes. Each person delivered four of these speeches during the course of the therapy.
Finally, the test subjects were asked to complete a modified version of a popular critical assessment tool known as the Personalized Implicit Association Test.
The combined results of the study showed that all of the participants´ phobias were reduced after their treatment. However, after one month, almost half of the participants had experienced a full return of their fear. Looking at the results of the association test, Fazio´s team found that those people who had persistent negative attitudes towards public speaking were by far the most likely to see their public speaking phobia return. This relapse into their phobia was evidenced by an elevated heart rate and high levels of anticipatory anxiety.
Fazio believes that these post-therapy follow-ups are important to assess whether the treatments are really working or not. The reasons, he says, are that people want to believe that their therapy was effective and they want to make their therapists happy.
"There is a lot of pressure to believe and to report that it is going well," he says. "Another part is people are not very well calibrated at reporting the extent to which they´ve improved. So there´s value in having another way of getting inside the person´s head."
One remaining question not addressed by the study is how and why some people retain their negative attitudes after treatment while others do not. In the future, Fazio and his colleagues would like work on creating new tools that can help therapists and clinicians pinpoint and treat the negative attitudes that lie behind phobias.

Different use cases might require different kinds of interaction between rule bases and RDF graphs. I think it is important to distinguish here between (a) rules with RDF in the antecedent (body) and (b) rules with RDF in the consequent (head). Rules of type (a) are relatively easy to deal with, both in a classical setting and an LP setting. Rules of type (b) could become a bit tricky, if we were to allow bnodes and RDF vocabulary (as pointed out in the wiki). A possible solution to this problem would be to limit the types of RDF triples allowed in the head of a rule. Additionally, as became apparent during the discussion on OWL compatibility in San Francisco, we will most likely need two different semantics for our language in phase 1. One semantics based on (1) classical models and one semantics (2) based on minimal models. This might require two different (but I guess similar) RDF mappings. > > > E.g., the straightforward mapping of RDF triples > > <s,p,o> to Horn facts p(s,o), as mentioned > > on http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/RDF_Compatibility > > at the beginning, would break "plain" RDF > > compatibility as simple queries which are supported > > by most (all?)

I'm not sure whether support for quantification over RDF properties is required, but I can imagine it could be. I think the syntax "triple(s,p,o)" would in this case be the more feasible, since we decided to stay syntactically in function-free Horn (with rule safety) for phase 1. Higher-order syntax would be a possible extension to be considered for phase 2. > > I'd like to see this reflected in the RDF compatibility pages somehow but > was at a loss for how to do so via the Wiki.

Abraham, Brooks praise joint U.S.-Russia security effort
MURMANSK, RUSSIA – On December 18, near Murmansk in the far north of the Russian Federation, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Administrator Linton Brooks represented the U.S. government at a commissioning ceremony marking the completion of security upgrades at two Russian Navy nuclear sites.
Working with colleagues from the Kurchatov Institute and the Russian Navy, the project team from NNSA designed and oversaw the implementation of upgrades to improve the protection of the nuclear areas against the risk of theft by terrorists. Brooks also presented plaques to the commanders of the sites in recognition of the outstanding performance by Russian Northern Fleet personnel who took part in these cooperative projects.
Department of Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham praised the effort as yet another step in U.S.-Russian cooperation on security and nonproliferation matters. "The Bush Administration continues to put nonproliferation high on its list of concerns and priorities," Abraham said. "As Russia and the United States continue working on nonproliferation priorities like this, we strengthen U.S. security and make the world a safer place."
An important mission of NNSA is to reduce the threat of the proliferation of nuclear weapons by working cooperatively with Russia to upgrade the security of nuclear facilities. Since 1997, NNSA has worked with the Russian Federation Navy to reduce this threat and these cooperative efforts achieved another milestone this week.
"I am very impressed with the quality of work and the dedication of the people involved. They are making a huge difference in tackling the problem of under secured nuclear sites. This location is only one small part of a massive cooperative effort to improve material protection and control at storage and handling sites, and we will continue working with the Russians on securing these sensitive locations," Brooks said after the ceremony.
In recent years, Russian authorities have said they have interdicted hostile groups conducting surveillance on Russian Navy nuclear facilities. NNSA has completed security upgrades at 30 of 39 Russian Navy nuclear sites. Due to acceleration efforts post-September 11 2001, the security work with the Russian Navy will be completed in 2006, two years ahead of schedule.
NNSA is a semi-autonomous agency of the Department of Energy. It enhances U.S. national security through the military application of nuclear energy, maintains the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, promotes international nuclear nonproliferation and safety, reduces global danger from weapons of mass destruction, provides the U.S. Navy with safe and effective nuclear propulsion, and oversees its national laboratories to maintain U.S. leadership in science and technology.

40 Clever and Adorable Signs You Should Definitely Have at Your Wedding
I was clicking through some wedding photos and saw a super cute wooden sign at one of them (it directed guests towards various aspects of the reception), which got me clicking on other stuff, and … well, you know how it goes: down the rabbit hole!
I have definitely seen a rise in couples posting various signs at their weddings, and these days, they're more clever, funny and irreverent than ever. I think they're so great! Whether they perform a function along with being cute, or simply exclaim a bit of joy on such a happy day, they're such a cool personal touch; just another opportunity for you and your groom to stamp yourselves all over your celebration and make it really sound/look/feel like you.
And so, please behold the results of my rabbit-holing: Buzzfeed's roundup of 40 awesome wedding signs. These go so much further than saying, like, "Cake's this way!" and I just love them, especially the chalkboard one above the display of escort cards that says "If your name isn't here, it means you are crashing this wedding … you better be funny."
Which ones are you going to steal?

Civil society and protest in South Africa: A view from 2012
On 16 August 2012, the South African Police Services (SAPS) shot and killed 34 striking mineworkers at Marikana, near Rustenburg. The world watched in horror as images of the police shooting semi-automatic live rounds at the strikers were broadcast across international television stations – an unprecedented attack on civilians among democratic states.
The violence did not end in the hail of bullets. Strikers who were rounded up after the police killings were arrested and allegedly tortured. Two hundred and seventy strikers were charged with murder under the highly criticised criminal law doctrine of "common purpose", charges that have subsequently been provisionally withdrawn.[2] Responding to the severity of the situation, President Jacob Zuma announced the appointment of a Judicial Commission of Inquiry, commonly referred to as the Marikana Commission, into the events surrounding the 16 August killings, as well as the deaths of 10 people (two police officers, two security guards and six workers) in the preceding days. The terms of reference for the Marikana Commission were gazetted on 13 September, marking the beginning of the Commission's work. The Marikana Commission is arguably the most important judicial commission since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Public hearings began in October 2012, and the Commission is aiming to present its final report in July 2013.[3]
Marikana, as it has come to be known, is a defining moment in South Africa's post-apartheid history. However, it is far from an isolated incident of protest that ends in violence. Indeed, as analysed below, protest, whether involving striking workers or local communities, is becoming an endemic feature of South Africa's socio-political landscape.[4] A January 2013 briefing document from Municipal IQ, a web-based data and intelligence service that monitors all of South Africa's 283 municipalities, shows that service delivery protests in 2012 accounted for 30 percent of protests recorded since 2004. The second and third quarters of 2012 recorded more protests than any other quarter since 2004.[5] According to Municipal IQ, "…protests remain a consistent and worrying social phenomenon in many South African communities. Vigorous work to address inequality, unemployment and poverty, as well as lagging service delivery remains crucial as the ultimate solution to address the trend."[6]
Civil society organisations (CSOs) must actively take up this challenge if they are to remain relevant. However, to date, it is questionable whether CSOs have adequately responded to the current socio-economic and political landscape. Indeed, civil society was arguably found wanting at the time of the Marikana massacre, uncomfortable or unable to deal with the kind of traditional human rights violations that many hoped they had left behind in 1994. This deficit was particularly apparent in the failure of CSOs working on legal issues to provide direct assistance to those arrested by the police following the protest, and victims of other forms of repression that followed in the aftermath of the killings and arrests.
Defining local protest
As described above, local protests have gained momentum over the past couple of years, becoming increasingly visible during 2012. Increasingly, South Africa is experiencing a movement of local protest amounting to a rebellion of the poor, which has been widespread and intense, reaching insurrectionary proportions in some cases judging by the levels of aggression and spread of the protests. As witnessed in Marikana – and also in Ficksburg in April 2011, when protester Andries Tatane was shot dead by the police – civilian protest is increasingly being met with lethal police force. Yet, despite South Africa reportedly experiencing the highest number of protests in the world[7], there has not been much systemic analysis of local protests, nor has there yet been a coordinated response from civil society to deal with the repercussions.
During 2009, in the wake of a fresh round of locally-organised protests in urban areas, a debate waged in the South African mainstream media about the nature of the protests. Commentators such as Steven Friedman cautioned against the crude reduction that the protesters are demanding 'service delivery' – for Friedman, protesters are demanding a more complex inclusion into all aspects of the socio-political and economic order.[8] Similarly, as members of the national shack dwellers' social movement, Abahlali baseMjondolo, have stated:
"Waiting for 'delivery' will not liberate us from our life sentence. Sometimes 'delivery' does not come. When 'delivery' does come it often makes things worse by forcing us into government shacks that are worse than the shacks that we have built ourselves and which are in human dumping grounds far outside of the cities. 'Delivery' can be a way of formalising our exclusion from society."[9]
However, while there is clearly a need to utilise a wider lens with which to view the protests, it is inescapable that protesters have framed their actions in terms of material demands, whether for better basic services, houses or jobs. In short, it is likely that the protests are about both socio-political and economic exclusion. As argued by Richard Pithouse, the protests are best understood as being about "the material benefits of full social inclusion … as well as the right to be taken seriously when thinking and speaking through community organisations".[10] In the words of Abahlali baseMjondolo:
"But we have not only been sentenced to permanent physical exclusion from society and its cities, schools, electricity, refuse removal and sewerage systems. Our life sentence has also removed us from the discussions that take place in society;"[11]
"In as much as you [the government] need to deliver services, you cannot do that without engagement, or direct engagement… [I]f people were engaged and consulted about development, then people become a vital tool in their own development and such developments will also be owned at a community level, you know?"[12]

TORONTO, Feb. 25 , 2016 /CNW/ - Unifor welcomes investment in education, health and infrastructure but says overall funding in the Ontario budget falls short.
"Increased funding in these key areas is overdue," said Unifor Ontario Director Katha Fortier. "Today's budget is a start, but we need greater investment to really make a difference in the lives of Ontarians."
In its pre-budget recommendations, Unifor called on the Wynne government to restore hospital funding and increase core funding of long-term and home care. The union describes the announced budget increases for long term, hospice and palliative care as modest and says it found the hospital funding level disappointing.
"Following a five-year freeze the Ontario government has increased base funding for hospitals by a mere one per cent," said Fortier. "This is a stop-gap measure that wont significantly improve the day-to-day care of Ontario patients."
The union is also disappointed the budget does not go further to protect public assets.
"Rather than recognizing the sale of Ontario Hydro as a mistake the Wynne government seems to be doubling down on its plan to sell off valuable public assets to achieve short term financial gain" cautioned Fortier.
"The budget refers to government-owned assets, but they belong to the people of Ontario and once sold the priority will be on the bottom line not fair service to the taxpayer."
In addition, todays budget provides very little response to the dire state of manufacturing in Ontario, with no significant investment in the advanced manufacturing sector. "Unifor is concerned that the budget fails to outline a strategy to keep and create manufacturing jobs," Fortier said.
Fortier did welcome Ontario's commitment to work with the other provinces and the federal government to negotiate Canada Pension Plan reform. "We continue to believe an enhanced CPP, as good as or better than the ORPP, is the best choice for Canadians," said Fortier.
Unifor is Canada's largest union in the private sector, representing more than 310,000 workers. It was formed Labour Day weekend 2013 when the Canadian Auto Workers and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union merged.

Richard Baxter And Conversion Pb
Full Product Description
"...If you be not converted, you are not true Christians. You may have the name, but you have not the nature." Richard Baxter, A Treatise of Conversion 1657. Puritan religious experience was centered on conversion, the 'new birth' of the soul the essence of Puritanism. Tim Beougher forensically dissects Baxters writings and life so that we see how he constructs a systematic theology of conversion. How relevant this is becomes clear as Beougher investigates how Baxter speaks to us today about controversies on justification, church discipline and the sacraments. Baxter was, arguably, the greatest of the Puritan pastors, over the period of his ministry in Kidderminster he had every person in his town to his house to enquire of their spiritual state. It was central to his care for his flock. In an era where authentic belonging is sought, but rarely found, Baxter can speak to us today just as effectively through this study by Tim Beougher.

Probably english is your mother tongue.
Thats why maybe i have not expressed myself well.
Solid proof? If i do not own an organization where Mr. Nunes was affiliated and commited fraud, how can i present 'solid proof' to you, dear sir?
Not being able to present that solid proof means i have a grudge? Means that i am lying?
Can you prove that you are not in the Matrix? If you cannot, accordingly with your argument, you in fact are in the Matrix.
Please do not compare my position to the position of mr. stungun.
Here i read you making note of me not presenting proof, when i ask you and all the readers to contact personally with those people and ORGANIZATIONS (contact Soke Cheek, Tattershall, Juan Gomez, contact Kevin Pell, contact João Santos, contact Luís Fernando, contact Pedro Dabauza, contact Eric Pariset) - is this not the right way to do it?
Do you want me to contact these people and organizations and say that 'Hey, i am exposing Helder Nunes, can you give me info about this gentleman so that i can post it on a forum?'
Is that what you mean with solid proof?
If i do it, surely you will claim that i invented those things, so just dial the phone to Portugal, Spain, England, Portugal indicative is +351 , and do your own research if you are interested.
If you are not interested, dont do it, but also dont make me to pass as a smearer, and threat of deleting this thread, just because for timidity or lazyness you dont wat to check for yourself.
I have put all the info for you to make something clear out of this.
I am weary, not with a grudge, for that you seem to hit on the same point.« You dont have hard evidence, you dont have hard evidence», contact these people and ask. How hard do you want it?
He is
6 Dan Jiu Jitsu International
Shihan Karate Jutsu
Sho Dan Judo; Shodan Karate
Muay Thai Instructor trainee
Style(s) and knowledge:
Jiu Jitsu
Karate Jutsu
Muay Thai
Jiu Jitsu International
(he never practiced karate or muay thai)
In :
he is:
Shihan Helder Nunes Black Belt, Jiu Jitsu (he uses both Ju jitsu and Jiu Jitsu to claim that he is both a Sensei in traditional Japanese Jujitsu and in Brazilian JIUJITSU, when he is not)
International Coordinator for Jiu Jitsu International
President and Technical Director of the Portuguese Ju Jitsu Assoc
Diplomated Professor for Fittboxe by 3/B System (???)
Judo Instructor by the Portuguese Judo Federation (lie, contact www.fpj.pt)
National Ju Jitsu and Grappling Coach (of his own organization, Ju jitsu or Jiujitsu?)
International Instructor ( Sensei Pat. Lavigne (Balancemartialarts.com) and Sensei Mike Carrier (Warriors of God) are under him and both his greatest students )
Representant of the International Black Belt Association
Delete it, discredit me, if you think i am doing something wrong to Truth and to martial arts, best wishes, you have the stick in your hand big man, i will continue until all people are alert to this.
My email is [email protected].
In my investigations i contacted all those persons and ORGANIZATIONS and got answers from all of them, i will not put those answers in the Forum, i have no right to do that. But you have the obligation to go get the 'hard solid proof' you want, i even took the liberty to minimize the trouble, giving you the links, (want the phones?). Contact them if the first one say that is a lie, i will imediatly shut up and speak of this matters no more.
Any more threat from you or claiming im not more than a smearer and i will no longer post on Bullshido.
I do not have a grudge, i repeat.
I am weary of being asked to put 'solid evidence' when nobody as putten as much info as i have done, and quite honestly, i have no more patience to deal with being discredited.
If you like, all my best wishes to this great martial artist seminars, long a fruitfull life to him and you.

Actually.. Helder has studied grappling under Renshi Pat Lavigne here in Canada from what I have heard.. I am unsure of the rank but I do know Pat is an amazing instructor in grappling. So he may be passing his knowledge off to others as he learns.
And I believe that many of the IJJF schools now also teach BJJ as well as Can-Ryu and traditional JJ.
So Helder may not be lying about his grappling abilities.
I am not 100% sure but I can check it out here with Pat.

There is an english expression that probably has a much more flowery translation into Portugues, "Less is More"
You have a complaint. Spell it out cleanly and succinctly, with concise claims. This does not require a book, and multiple posts, unless they are actually accomplishing, refuting or furthering your investigation.
We get it.
- Allegations of fraud at University.
- A judo brown belt, becomes a JJ black belt
- Faster than light, he is 6- 7th degree.
- You are angry.
- Plagerism of American JJ
- Smear campainge by you and others.
- Counter smear campaigne
- Some Poster who has trained with him said he was ok and had some skill (not that his rank was valid or his lineage intact)
- You get more angry and state the same points
Do you have anything to add to this? - (in point form to avoid redundancy and losing your audience?)

In Portuguese, since you are fond of expressions, we have one that is 'Quem não se sente, não é filho de boa gente' that goes sort of 'One that does not feel it is not a son of good people' and what i feel is two things, some readers of the forum have two measures and two sides, and that my point is not understood because i am taken as a smearer, a badmouther.
From me, the 'smearer' is requested that bring hard evidence. I must prove what i claim, and i cannot give the contacts of where we all can get this subject clear.For the defensors of this gentleman its only recquired to speak well of the Sensei.
I can put up a fake and brand new alias and speak bad of him, or i can tell lies like he is from 'da police' and is a GI Nunes.
I do not present, once and for all, allegations. My point here is to inform, and i am only defending my information. I will not pactuate with people claiming that i have no hard evidence, that do not contact the organizations or research the info i give, and come to the forum saying there is no hard evidence. I am not defending my identity. I am defending what i say.
What i say is true, and we all can prove that if we contact people in Portugal that were at a certain time involved with Mr. Nunes. Have you contacted any one of this?
- Allegations of fraud at University. (not allegations - contact University)
- A judo brown belt, becomes a JJ black belt
- Faster than light, he is 6- 7th degree.
- You are angry. (i am not angry)
- Plagerism of American JJ (i have given hard evidence)
This is my last post in answer to this type of post like your own.
I have given info, comented technically videos and so on, so i do not admit to anyone to say that
1) i am saying the same thing
2) i am a smearer
3) i am not clear
4) i am angry
5) Mr Nunes is a victim just because i am a smearer
Unless anyone can prove me wrong (if so i will in public admit my mistake) this is what i maintain.
Why is that a forum poster appears and talks highly of someone and then, without a third from what i have put here, suddently i become a badmouther again? All based on subjective, personal, points of view. I am clearly refering the stungun.
I will not admit also that this is personal or a vendetta.
I have made my point. My mission here is over.
My long posts are only to maintain and defend the message that i brought, Nunes is a fraud. Do i have de freedom, alone to defend what i have presented?
Please, do confirm with Pat, he is a student of Shihan Nunes, of course he will say that Nunes is a poser.
I quote « International Instructor ( Sensei Pat. Lavigne (Balancemartialarts.com) and Sensei Mike Carrier (Warriors of God) are under him and both his greatest students )»
You can find this in :
«Actually.. Helder has studied grappling under Renshi Pat Lavigne here in Canada from what I have heard.. I am unsure of the rank but I do know Pat is an amazing instructor in grappling. So he may be passing his knowledge off to others as he learns.»
His claims are that he is at least black belt in Jiu Jitsu. That takes a while to achieve, does Sensei Nunes lived in Canada for at least 4 years, in order to get the black belt?
OOOops, he is a genius, with only a seminars he becomes Shodan.
Too bad for me i dont have the same capacity :D
In Portugal, i assure you, he does not have practice or degree in Jiujitsu.
P.S. : Once and for all, again, i am not angry or with a grudge. :D
I am in a very good mood almost all the time. If i repeat things sometimes in a hard manner, its not i am angry, its because i like to share points of view and get carried away ;)

I do get it. It is YOU who doesn't get it - at least not completely. I did some of the research. I do not know anything about Mr. Lavigne, and will not put words in his mouth. Perhaps his students might come on and say something. But basically Nunes has done trips and seminars to Canada, a while ago and people have attended. It does not make them "students" anymore than getting an autograph of Eusébio da Silva Ferreira makes me a Football star.
I contacted Mr. Mike Carrier (aka Tapout74) about his relationship with Nunes the day you posted the OP. On my public page he replied...

Mr. KO'd N DOA
Maybe our english is very different, probably my fault since my original language is not english.
In my post i was adressing KellyD, not you.
KellyD said :« Actually.. Helder has studied grappling under Renshi Pat Lavigne here in Canada from what I have heard.. I am unsure of the rank but I do know Pat is an amazing instructor in grappling. So he may be passing his knowledge off to others as he learns.
And I believe that many of the IJJF schools now also teach BJJ as well as Can-Ryu and traditional JJ.
So Helder may not be lying about his grappling abilities.
I am not 100% sure but I can check it out here with Pat. »
I think i was clear, probably you have done a quick reading of my post, i was not adressing you, in this part. If you notice, i write KellyD, so i am adressing what KellyD have said.
I have contacted Mr. Carrier also, and after that contact i confirmed yhat Mike is a good and serious guy, the rest, ask him if you like.
In the links i gave, (heve you seen them?) in JJI Mike and Pat appear as Nunes students. I gave clear indications of his claims.
I repeat (dont complain that i am repeating myself) in
Shihan Nunes appears as Black Belt, Jiu Jitsu - (not traditional Ju jitsu, because he is 7th Dan, therefore Shihan, so by excluding parts and by using 'Ju jitsu' and 'Jiujitsu' words i prove to you his claims. Have i made myself clear?
I assure you, im not responsible for the JJI webpage.
Is this enough evidence for you? If you want you can come to Portugal we will train BJJ and i will put you in contact with persons that will confirm what i say. Unless you believe we are a smearers club.
In your interest about my training you can find more info in
Apologize for my poor english expression, i have learned it many years ago, so all your bad comprehension must be my fault.

In some languages the correct transscription would be "JuJutsu", in others "Jiu Jitsu" or "JuJitsu"... the combinations used are probably endless. If you use Germany as an example, then you will find out that different schools and clubs use different transscriptions, whilst still adressing the same martial art.
Its much like the infamous _ing _un.
I train in Jiu Jitsu, yet its not brazilian. The fact that he uses different transscriptions can not be taken as proof of him claiming a BJJ belt of whatsoever color.
Oh and btw... afaik a rokudan holder is still largely considered a "blackbelt". So alternatingly using the terms "6th dan" and "blackbelt" would not be contradictory or misleading either.

I believe that very few people are interested in reaching to the bottom of this.
Mainly i know now that the most interested people in not finding what is going on, are the ones that received grades from Mr. Nunes.
As i mentioned before, maybe i dont make myself clear. Using two different words in the same webpage does not have to do with the correct kanji translation. I hold a black belt in Jujutsu. I dont boast about having a black belt in Jujutsu, a black belt in Jujitsu, a black belt in Jiujitsu, etc.
Again, probably i have not made myself clear.
Alright, Mr. Nunes win. I know when to stop. It was my mistake to present this in bullshido. Mr. Nunes is a wonderful person, a great martial artist, a cool guy, very energetic, a great man.
I am a liar, a smearer, a jealous person, a bad person, i have no evidence of my badmouthing campaign, i should be ashamed of myself, i apologize for all my dreadfull lies, people like me should be expelled from the martial world.
Congratulations Mr. Nunes, you have won.
Cheers to all, sorry for the trouble

I did a little digging myself last night and talked to Pat L about Helder. And I took alook at Helder's site also.
1) Helder does not say he has a black belt in BJJ, but he saus he has an "Instructor level" in BJJ. That translates to a purple belt. It was given to him from the head of Gracie JJ in France with whom Helder has been taking lessons from. Pat has gone down there several times in the past year to help Helder teach seminars and to go to gradings with him.
2) As for the 7th dan, I was mistaken. It was offered to Helder from Prof Morris and Helder refused it. He did not feel it was right at the time or that he was ready for it. he told Prof Morris he felt he was too young at this time for it. Besides as we all more or less know, after 4th dan, most belts are at the discretion of the senior instructors and time lines can be varried. There is a set amount of time but this can be waived with certain conditions.
3) All this stuff about Helder comes only after his organization beacame a full Federation in Portugal. Funny isn't it.
I have heard that there are some people from WEBBS there that do not like Helder and are trying to soil his name.. I don't know if that is true but I hope to god no one from WEBBS is that stupid and would try to ruin the organization that way.
If they are doing such they should back the **** off as I am sure Soke Cheek would not be impressed in any way by it.
Deception is one thing, but to creat an outright lie is something that would never be forgiven in WEBBS.
4) There are a few reasons Helder and WEBBS broke apart but I will not get into them here as I don't think it really is anyones business but WEBBS abd Helders....
I respect both organizations greatly. JJI and WEBBS and have been members of both as well as being a current member of WEBBS but I have been invited to rejoin JJF as well.
Whoever is doing all this is not doing anything good for either organization.
As for Mike Carrier. He has not been known as Warriors of God for a while.. His school is UMMA here in Ottawa.
Heler also won the Paris Open in 2001. Pat has seen the awards and has talked to many instructors that have verified it. Many are not even Helders students or associates.

Consumer sentiments have proven to be a significant indicator of the health of an economy. In the most basic sense, when consumers view the economy as weak, they are more reluctant to spend and more keen to hold on to their money.
Singapore (PRWEB) February 08, 2013
Consumers in Singapore are likely to cut back on their spending over the next 12 months following a decline in consumer confidence in Q4 2012, according to a recent report released by global market research firm Nielsen.
Entitled "Nielsen Global Survey of Consumer Confidence and Spending Intention", the report revealed that a total of 64% of consumers have expressed a desire to reduce their spending, up 3 points from the preceding quarter. Congruently, Singapore's consumer confidence index has dropped by 3 points to 95 points in Q4 2012, after a brief uptick in Q3 2012.
Moreover, the research showed lower spending intentions across multiple discretionary areas, including taking holidays, buying clothes, and making investments. The largest decline was recorded for investments in stocks and mutual funds, which went down 8 points to 24%. Investments in savings funds also dropped 6 points to 58%; whereas retirement investments fell 4 points to 20%.
Correspondingly, approximately 63% of consumers have changed their spending habits to cut back on household expenses in Q4 2012, compared to 62% in Q3 2012. The top expenditures that were reduced include: clothes (55%); groceries (43%); and utility consumption (47%).
The decline in consumer consumption expenditures can be attributed to cash problems, with a total of 10% of respondents indicating that they had less cash in Q4 2012, compared to only 7% in Q3 2012. In addition, more Singaporeans are concerned about job security. About one in five (or 20%) of respondents have expressed less optimism about their job prospects for the year.
Commenting on the report, Mr. James Nuben, Head of Taxation at Singapore company registration consultancy AsiaBiz Services, said, "The cautious sentiment currently pervading Singapore's consumer market can be attributed to a number of factors. At the onset, we see inflation as the main culprit, but there are, of course, other forces at play. Business outlook remains a major concern, as well as the prolonged crisis in global markets."
"In general, I see the decline in consumer spending as an adaptive response to economic uncertainty. Consumer sentiments have proven to be a significant indicator of the health of an economy. In the most basic sense, when consumers view the economy as weak, they are more reluctant to spend and more keen to hold on to their money. This is particularly true in Singapore," he added.
"The challenge for firms, therefore, is to bolster their marketing efforts and offer more incentives to consumers to cope with this wave. To stimulate the economy, we need continued spending activity. But to increase spending, consumers need more stimuli, perhaps in the form of tax cuts or a lower price index, among others. As such, measures must be implemented not only to help households and Singapore companies cope with rising costs, but more importantly, to ensure stability and sustainability in our economy," he said in conclusion.
