Dr. Rita's Religious Beliefs
Dr. Hancock was raised in the Catholic Church, and for the past fifteen years has attended various Methodist churches with her husband Ed (a Methodist minister's son) and with their children Lindsey and Cory.
She believes in the equality of the Trinity, in salvation through Jesus Christ, that we are saved by His grace and not our own works, and that God really doesn't care how much we weigh. He cares that we care how much we weigh, and He wants us to be released from bondage to food and live life more abundantly and serve Him with greater physical stamina.
Her Personal Weight Loss Experience
Dr. Rita knows first hand what it is like to overcome obesity.
Being Italian, she had access to the world's most delicious food when she was
growing up. Unfortunately, she ate too much of it. By the time Rita was 17 and
was 5'1" tall, she weighed 207 pounds and wore size 20 jeans
Prior to leaving for Cornell University to study nutrition, Rita
lost 75 pounds. And she did it by including occasional treats in her overall low-calorie diet, and by eating less and exercising more.
At Cornell, Rita minored in nutrition, participated in
original nutrition research, and completed a thesis on the control of body
weight. Through these studies, she was mentored by a world-leader in obesity
Apart from temporary fluctuations in her weight related to
having children, Rita has now maintained her weight loss for 25 years.
Her Medical Practice
Dr. Rita is a board-certified Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation specialist with a subspecialty board certification in Pain
Management. She has been in full time practice in Norman,
Oklahoma for ten years.
Though she performs electrodiagnostic nerve testing,
spinal steroid injections, and other high-tech diagnostic procedures and treatments
to alleviate her patients' back pain, her favorite treatment is unusual for a
medical doctor to offer: Dr. Hancock practices osteopathic style spinal
manipulation on her patients to reduce their need for addictive pain pills.
She also counsels her patients on weight loss and on improving
their relationship with their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Her Medical Training
After completing her nutrition studies as an undergraduate
at Cornell University, Rita attended medical school at the State University of New York at Buffalo,
where she was awarded a research fellowship to study gastroenterology
(digestive diseases) at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
She was also awarded the prestigious National Institute of Health's Medical
Student Research Training Fellowship, which allowed her to continue her studies
in nutrition for two years at the Center for Human Nutrition in Dallas, Texas.
Upon graduating from medical school, Dr. Hancock completed
an internship in internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center in
Dallas, and went on to her residency in rehabilitation medicine at Parkland
Memorial Hospital in Dallas, and to subspecialty board-certification in pain

Redemptions at SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) continue despite the precious metal's bounce the past week following the sharp decline.
Bullion holdings in the gold ETF fell nearly 2% on Monday to 35.5 million ounces, the lowest level since November 2009, according to Reuters.
Year to date, GLD has seen net outflows of $12.2 billion, the highest for any U.S.-listed ETF, according to IndexUniverse data.
The gold fund was down about 15% so far this year, as of Monday's close.
GLD slipped 1% in early trading Tuesday after rising for five straight sessions. Gold prices climbed back above $1,400 an ounce.
Goldman Sachs analysts on Tuesday advised clients to close short bets against gold they had recommended earlier this month before the sell-off. [Gold Falls Amid 'Steady, Large' Outflows from Bullion ETFs]
"Our bias is to expect further declines in gold prices on the combination of continued ETF outflows as conviction in holding gold continues to wane as well as our economists' forecast for a reacceleration in U.S. growth later this year," the Goldman analysts said in a Dow Jones Newswires report.

Barely a day goes by that we don't yearn after Miranda Kerr's immaculate style, but this week we're equally envious of the apparently warm weather she's enjoying in NYC.
Despite being pictured in snowfall just a few days ago, Miranda's most recent street style saw her show some serious skin.
Kerr headed out in a mesh detail knit and slipped her perfect pins into a pair of leather biker trousers. A Givenchy tote and killer heeled boots completed her outfit, while a simple low bun and a touch of red lippy added a chic finishing flourish.
After being spotted out and about with ex Orlando Bloom a few days ago, the mum-of-one was flying solo, also sans two-year-old son Flynn.
Miranda and Orlando announced their split in October, but the Victoria's Secret model has since spoken out in interviews to explain that the pair and their son are still very much a unit, and that it's in support of Orlando that she's remaining in New York for the time being.
She recently told The Mirror: "I didn't go home to Australia recently because Orlando was working six days a week in Romeo and Juliet on Broadway and it's not fair to take Flynn and go without him. We're trying to do our best to support each other."
"It's difficult for anyone to go through a separation, whether it's on a public scale or not," Miranda added. "It was important for us to preserve our friendship and the dynamic of being loving parents to Flynn so we dealt with everything honestly."
It's great to hear about such a caring celeb duo, whether they're a couple or not.

Grade II winner Prospective figures to make his presence felt in the Ohio Derby (gr. III) Saturday, July 7, at Thistledown. The son of Malibu Moon owned by John C. Oxley is the only open stakes winner in the field of five and the only contestant with six-figure earnings. Not surprisingly, he is 3-5 on the morning line. He will break from the inside.
The 1 1/16-mile Ohio Derby, Ohio's only graded stakes, is for 3-year-olds and will be run as Race 8. Post time is 5:32 p.m.
Prospective enters the race off a 1 3/4-length win in the Victoria Park Stakes at Woodbine June 10, his first start since finishing 18th in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I). He sports three other added-money wins--in the Grey Stakes (Can-III) at 2 and in this year's Tampa Bay Derby (gr. II) and Pasco Stakes.
With $535,235 in career earnings, Prospective is far and away the leading money winner in the field and will carry top weight of 124 pounds. Jermaine Bridgmohan will ride for the first time. Mark Casse trains.
Politicallycorrect is next in line at 3-1 odds. The son of Kitten's Joy owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey didn't care for the Polytrack at Keeneland when he was 12th in the Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) in April, but he found the Belmont Park dirt more to his liking in the Easy Goer Stakes June 9 in his last start. Politicallycorrect finished third behind Teeth of the Dog, who went on to win the Dwyer Stakes (gr. II) at Belmont June 30. Elvis Trujillo rides for trainer Wesley Ward.
Trainer Donnie Von Hemel, who won last year's Ohio Derby with Caleb's Posse , returns to this year's contest with Z Rockstar, most recently third in the Prairie Mile Stakes at Prairie Meadows June 2. Z Rockstar has an Oaklawn Park allowance win at 1 1/16 miles. By Rockport Harbor, Z Rockstar is owned by Robert H. Zoellner and will be ridden by Channing Hill. The gelding is 9-2 on the morning line.
Z Rockstar will break next to Swage, owned and trained by Von Hemel's father, Nebraska Hall of Famer Don Von Hemel. Swage, 8-1 in the morning line, comes in to the Ohio Derby off two straight wins--a maiden special and a one-mile allowance--both at Prairie Meadows. Perry Compton will ride the son of Flatter again.
Defiant Flyer ships in to Thistledown off an uneven career in Chicago and westward. The son of Early Flyer campaigned by Double D Stables and Steve Lewis took the one-mile restricted Jim's Orbit Stakes at Sam Houston Race Park in February to begin his 3-year-old season but finished unplaced in his next three starts. He has the advantage of one of Thistledown's most accomplished riders, Luis Gonzalez, and an earlier claiming win at the Ohio Derby distance.

FORCE INDIA are hoping to solve Paul Di Resta's problems with the car and send him off into the winter break on a high.
Since a career-best fourth-place finish in Singapore in September, the Bathgate star has collected just two points from the last five races as he has been far from at home in his car.
In a bid to aid Di Resta, the Silverstone-based team even changed the chassis ahead of the grand prix in Abu Dhabi, resulting in a glimmer of improvement as he finished ninth.
In Sunday's United States Grand Prix, a return to much stronger form appeared on the cards as Di Resta was running fifth early on, but after his pit stop Di Resta struggled with oversteer, and on cold tyres he spun at one point after coming under pressure from Williams duo Bruno Senna and Pastor Maldonado, forcing a second rubber change.
Di Resta, who now trails team-mate Nico Hulkenberg by seven points on the back of his bad run, can only hope for better going into the last race of the year in Sao Paulo on Sunday.
Deputy team principal Bob Fernley said: "We've just not got him comfortable, and he is not at one with the car.
"In Singapore he was absolutely magnificent, did a great, great job, and was totally at one with it, but since then we've not been able to deliver him a car in which he has been comfortable.
"Also we've had these different tracks – four in a row – with new surfaces, which does require a different type of car, and I'm not sure they have been perfect for Paul's style of driving.
"Hopefully we can dial back the clock, set it to zero and start again in Brazil.
"We believe we can get him back on track because I would like him to finish on a high in Brazil. It would be good for his confidence."
Di Resta is currently going through the same problems as encountered by McLaren's Jenson Button earlier this year when he collected just seven points from six races to undermine his title hopes. Button was unable to get the Pirelli tyres and his car dialled in in harmony, wrecking a number of races.
On Di Resta, Fernley added: "It's the relationship between the tyres and the circuit, especially the high abrasive circuits.
"All the work we have done, and where we have had success with Paul, has been on the normal abrasive circuits.
"Also, the set-up in the car doesn't really suit Paul's style of driving.
"We need to find a compromise somewhere that addresses what Paul needs, but gives us the performance as well."

Imaging Geographic Atrophy Progression by High resolution Spectral Domain OCT in Patients with Age-related Macular Degeneration
Search Medline for
|June 29, 2009
Purpose: To investigate microstructural alterations in a prospective longitudinal study (FAM study, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00393692) in eyes with geographic atrophy (GA) due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by spectral domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods: Twenty-eight eyes of 15 patients (mean age 77.9 ± 5.5 years) with GA had serial examination with a mean follow-up period so far of 10.8 months ± 3.8 months by simultaneous confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and SD-OCT imaging (Spectralis® HRA+OCT, Heidelberg Engineering, Germany). Real-time registration of eye movements allowed for alignment of follow-up to baseline scans and therefore subsequent accurate three-dimensional analysis of structural alterations over time. Longitudinal SD-OCT images were analyzed and microstructural changes within the atrophic lesions, at the border and in the perilesional zone of GA were evaluated.
Results: In all eyes, GA showed marked enlargement within the cSLO images. GA progression or evolution was associated with advancing loss of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)- and the inner and outer segments of the photoreceptor layer (IPRL) with subsequent disappearance of the external limiting membrane. The outer nuclear layer progressively collapsed within the atrophic lesion. Areas preceding atrophy displayed an irregular RPE- layer and IPRL. The borders of GA hereby showed differential progression. Within the atrophic lesion and in the perilesional zone, migration of hyperreflective material was noted, and both, increase in drusen volume as well as drusen fading occurred at different regions.
Conclusions: Recent developments in retinal imaging technologies allow for high resolution imaging of dynamic morphological alterations in retinal diseases. In eyes with GA, marked changes within the atrophic lesion, at the border and in the perilesional zone of GA can be visualized over a relatively short time period. The study will be continued and will provide further understanding of the natural history of GA progression. This information may also be useful in monitoring future therapeutical interventions aiming at slowing GA enlargement.

Some very good news for fans of a quick-fix: running, or even just slow jogging, for seven minutes a day could help halve your risk of dying from heart disease.
Well, nearly halve - a study by Iowa State University found that people who ran for 51 minutes a week had a 45 per cent lower risk of death from heart disease or stroke than non-runners, plus a 30 per cent lower risk of death from all causes, living for an average three years longer.
It's a pretty fair trade, isn't it? Seven minutes for three years.
Here are some more seven-minute marvels...
Just recently, experts at the Alzheimer's Association international conference in Copenhagen announced that crosswords and card games can boost brain power and prevent dementia. A few months ago, the University of Toronto had also concluded the same. So it's not hard to work out the conclusion to this point is grab your nearest newspaper (with an achievable-in-seven-minutes crossword on the back), pull out a pen, and get puzzling.
The advice from optical experts is that if you work in front of a computer, you should follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20ft away from your screen for at least 20 seconds. OK, so lots of people don't work the standard nine to five with a full hour lunch break these days, but for ease of calculation: 20 seconds every 20 minutes is a minute an hour. Times that by the seven-hour day and you're at a neat seven minutes. Seven minutes that will reduce eye strain, help avoid painful dry eyes and banish tension headaches.
Apparently, the average woman takes seven minutes 39 seconds in the shower. But it's not all about getting clean; use your bathing time to get glowing too, with a little help from the humble body brush. Daily body brushing - lightly brushing your skin, in the direction of your heart - will remove dead skin cells and encourage your circulation and lymphatic system (which removes body toxins). For an extra nudge to health, use the extra 39 seconds to turn off the hot tap - while not particularly pleasant, cold showers further boost skin glow, and can also help boost the metabolism, apparently.
Arms and Legs
Not keen on seven minutes of running? Seven minutes of toning sound better? Last year, the American College of Sports Medicine's Health & Fitness Journal published a hugely popular guide called the 'High-intensity Circuit Training Using Body Weight: Maximum Results With Minimal Investment'. Basically, it's 12 brilliantly easy-to-follow exercises (think old-school Jumping Jacks) that you can do in your living room, in just seven minutes, and still gain the same benefits as a sweaty hour in the gym.
Weight Loss
Breakfast, the meal of kings, yes? Maybe very time-poor kings. A survey earlier this year revealed that most of us spend just seven minutes and 20 seconds on eating what's meant to be the most important meal of the day. Being short on time doesn't have to mean resorting to fast-food style breakfasts of croissants, or bacon and egg baps grabbed from the local cafe. Porridge, the ultimate low-fat, fibre-packed start to the day, needs just two minutes in the microwave and one minute to cool down. That leaves a blissful three minutes and 20 seconds to eat.
Three More Super Sevens
lSeven seconds
Stress has been linked a multitude of health issues, from insomnia to cancer and even stroke. Help beat it with some deep breathing: Breathe in slowly to the count of seven seconds, hold, then breathe out for eight to ten seconds. This quickly brings a sense of calm and steadies a racing pulse.
lSeven hours
A recent Arizona State University Phoenix study on sleep duration found that 'the lowest mortality and morbidity is with seven hours' of nightly shut-eye.
After years being told five-a-day of fruit and veg was key for a healthy diet, researchers earlier this year suggested that seven was in fact the magic number for helping to prevent many major illnesses.

Obama promotes manufacturing at Wisconsin plant
Published 9:21 pm, Wednesday, February 15, 2012
MILWAUKEE — President Barack Obama is using the resurgence of U.S. manufacturing to make an economic case for his re-election, touring factory floors and promoting a made-in-America message that seemed to fit his political campaign like, as it turned out Wednesday, lock and key.
Most presidents like to surround themselves with proud workers at factories, but Obama has gone further by making the rebounding manufacturing a key plank of his election-year agenda, arguing that the increasingly service-oriented U.S. economy needs to make things in order to prosper in the long run. He opened a three-day political trip with a stop in Wisconsin, a state he won handily in 2008 but is expected to pose more difficulty for him this year.
Obama called for tax cuts for American manufacturers and higher taxes for companies that move overseas, pressing what he hopes will be a winning campaign issue. He also acknowledged that many factories have closed, their jobs have gone overseas and a lot of them "are not going to come back."
"In a global economy, some companies will always find it more profitable to pick up and do business in other part of the world. That's just a fact," Obama said at the Master Lock plant in Milwaukee. "But that doesn't mean we have to sit by and settle for a lesser future."

On a mailing list with lots of people on it, that is actually the
*preferred* action. The idea is that mailing to the entire list (perhaps
thousands of people) should take a conscious effort. Your confusion is
understandable considering how many lists hack up the headers to suit
their own enterpretation of How Things Should Be.

> > Mimsy
Gack!! Creating or changing headers beyond what is required to properly
deliver (or bounce) a message is generally regarded as a Very Bad Idea,
(even the author of Majordomo discourages it) though there are differences
of opinion. As a practical matter, some things break, or yield undesired
results when mailing list software fiddles with the Reply-To: field.
The full rundown on why this is a bad idea can be found at:
On a less technical note, expected mailer behavior with unmolested
headers is thus:
- "Reply" will reply only to the sender.
- "Reply to All" (Group Reply) replies to both sender and list.
- at least one mailer (Mutt) has a 3rd option, "Reply to List."
If you are running in a UNIX shell, Mutt is worth a serious look.
For the rest, this may be a feature worth asking for if your favorite

No Bud by the Bay
MILWAUKEE – Commissioner Bud Selig had no plans as of Sunday night to attend Barry Bonds' next game Monday in San Francisco, a source told Yahoo! Sports.
Selig has not stated publicly whether he will follow Bonds' pursuit of Hank Aaron's all-time home run record after watching the San Francisco Giants' three-game series in Milwaukee over the weekend.
His likely decision not to attend Monday's game, as Bonds sits at 753 home runs, could be the latest indication that Selig will not chase Bonds as he chases Aaron.
On Friday, Selig did not mention Bonds by name once during a nearly eight-minute interview that ran the gamut of subjects, from the veracity of Bonds' impending record to Selig's close relationship with Hank Aaron. He also referenced commissioners Ford Frick and Bowie Kuhn not attending milestone home runs, Roger Maris' 61st and Aaron's 715th, respectively.
Whether it's this week or during a homestand two weeks from now, Bonds' record home runs will come at AT&T Park if history is any indication. He hit his 71st, 72nd and 73rd in the 2001 season at home, as well as Nos. 500, 600, 660 (tying him with his godfather, Willie Mays), 700 and 715 (passing Ruth).
The Giants begin a seven-game home stand Monday against Atlanta and in the first two games face John Smoltz and Tim Hudson. Bonds has hit eight home runs against Smoltz and four against Hudson.

Men's Australian Open Day 4: Murray to motor on
Andy Murray is in action tonight in the Australian Open tennis championship. He's up last on the Rod Laver Arena, just one of six courts that you can watch live on your PC through betliveTV and we're bringing you our preview of tonight's Men's highlights.
It's the Second Round matches from the top half of the men's draw tonight which means alongside Murray there are four more of the top 10 seeds in action. World number one Rafa Nadal is out on the principal court ahead of Murray. You'll also be able to watch last year's runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, his French compatriot Gilles Simon and America's James Blake.
Read more about watching the Australian Open via live video stream on your PC.
Rafael Nadal [1] v Roko Karanusic - Since the Spanish ace made his debut and reached the final 16 in 2004, Rafael Nadal has improved by one round every year and entered this year's Australian Open as number 1, the top seed. Last year he got to the semis so if this trend is to continue, Rafa is one of this year's finalists. His opponent for the today's match, Roko Karanusic - recorded his first Australian Open victory beating Florent Serra in his first ever 5 set first round win. Can Roko beat the number 1 seed? He has never... a) Beaten a lefthander, b) Beaten a top 10 player, c) Progressed to the third round in Australia.
Andy Murray [4] v Marcel Granollers - Andy Murray will be looking to further his Australian Open campaign tonight in his second round match against Marcel Granollers, who defeated Teimuraz Gabashvilli in a four sets first round victory. Murray's first round opponent Andrei Pavel retired from that match and from Tennis, with a long-term back problem - but this match looked like Murray's for the taking before it was cut short. Murray to advance this evening looks a sure thing.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga [7] v Ivan Ljubicic - Frenchman Tsonga plays in his third consecutive Australian Open this year. Having exited the 2007 tournament in the first round & reaching the 2008 final only to lose to Novak Djokovic, Jo-Wilfried has form and is able to beat quality players but does have a back injury which forced him to withdraw from his recent quarterfinal at Sydney. If this niggle can be kept at bay - Tsonga should deal with Croatian Ivan Ljubicic - ATP ranked 55, with little difficulty.
Chris Guccione v Gilles Simon [8] - After defeating Pablo Andujar in a first round straight sets victory, Gilles Simon squares up against Australian Chris Guccione, a player currently without a coach. Simon has only ever been able to get through to the third round in this competition so will he equal his career best with a victory this evening over Guccione, who broke a four year first round losing streak here in defeating Nicolas Devilder in the 1st round?
James Blake [10] v Sebastien De Chaunac - James Blake made it all the way to the quarterfinals this time last year, only to be defeated by Roger Federer. In doing so, the American equaled his best Grand Slam performance and of his 8 matches against qualifiers, has been victorious in seven. In 25 attempts to qualify for Grand Slams, Sebastien De Chaunac has been successful in only three including this year and Blake will be looking to put an end to his 2008 Australian campaign.
Gael Monfils [13] v Stefan Koubek - After Monfils employed Llayton Hewitt's former coach Roger Rasheed, the Frenchman has risen to a career-high ranking of No.13 this month which is bad news for tonight's opponent Stefan Koubek. The two have met once before, Monfils with the unsurprising victory. Koubek does have some form here though, reaching the quarterfinals in 2002 but one feels that at 32, Koubek is past his best and the young in-form Monfils should progress to round three.
Fernando Gonzalez [14] v Guillermo Canas - Very much a South American affair here as 2007 runner-up Fernando Gonzalez who defeated Lleyton Hewit in a first round 5-set duel, faces 31 year old Argentinean Guillermo Canas, who is attempting to win back-to-back matches for the first time since July 2008. Canas has missed this event for the last three years and although the break may rejuvenate ATP ranked 77th player, Fernando Gonzalez looks the winning bet.

The Inheritance
1947, Crime
In Victorian England, heiress Caroline Ruthyn (Jean Simmons) is ordered to move in with her disreputable Uncle Silas (Derrick de Marney), who was once suspected of killing a man. Soon after Caroline arrives, Silas and his co-conspirator, Madame de la Rougierre (Katina Paxinou), discover that they are next in line to inherit the family fortune. At first, their schemes are relatively benign: they try to persuade Caroline to marry Silas' son. But when that fails, their thoughts turn to murder.

Israeli health minister says surrogates for gays goodAround the World, Bottom Highlights Thursday, May 31st, 2012
JERUSALEM – An Israeli Health Ministry committee has recommended that gay men be allowed to use a surrogate mother to have a child, reports Haaretz.
The public committee, which was set up two years ago to examine policies surrounding fertility and birth, concluded its proceedings last week, issuing a report that may transform Israel into one of the most progressive countries in the world in this field.
Among the report's recommendations are extending the right to conceive children with a surrogate mother to gay men and single women; allowing married women to serve as surrogates; allowing married men and women to undergo fertility treatment with people other than their spouses without notifying them; and allowing non-anonymous sperm donation by which a child may learn the donor's identity upon reaching 18.
The committee was appointed in August 2010, headed by Shlomo Mor Yosef, chairman of the Israel National Institute for Health Policy Research and CEO of the National Insurance Institute of Israel. The committee was made up of 12 members; ethicists, doctors and social workers.
While gay men may gain the right to use a surrogate mother, the report only allows them to use a volunteer or altruistic surrogate, which will make finding a surrogate more difficult, according to Haaretz. Family members also will be allowed to serve as surrogates as long as they are not daughters, grandmothers or grandchildren.

Re: 2k14 Wishlist?
-Bring back trade block.
-Give me something new in association. I don't care what it is as long as it's decent. Take into account how certain players have played. If they've been hot lately, make it easier to score. If cold, make it harder to get them out of a slump. Particularly for pure shooters like Korver, Ray Allen, Steph Curry, James Jones, Steve Novak etc etc.
-I get why it got taken out, but i did like the d-league. bring that shit back.
-Perhaps make a myplayer mode where you're already in the d-league and you're trying to make it back into the league? Or into the league for the first time.
-Change some of the development drills. Some of them are ridiculously hard. (especially IMO the full court press)
-On that note, maybe make it where if you get your drill perfect, you can get another hour of drills. Thus if you get at least 2 done perfectly, you can do something else.
That's all I got for now.

To the editor:
Based upon the broken promises made by GOP leaders in Raleigh during 2013, I thought that it would take at least the six-week (short) session for a 2014 promise to be broken.
Unfortunately, it took six days or less for the governor to promise additional funding for a teacher pay raise and the GOP house speaker pro tem to reject that proposal. He said school districts could shift state money designated for one purpose and use it for another: teacher salary increases. Simply, he wants to "rob Peter to pay Paul(ine)."

Anderson Silva's hubris leads to his downfall as Chris Weidman KOs him, snaps streak(s)
LAS VEGAS – A magnificent, unparalleled title reign ended in disgrace Saturday, as Anderson Silva embarrassed himself and disrespected the sport that made him rich and famous in a second-round knockout loss to Chris Weidman.
It wasn't that he got knocked out, but how, that was so distasteful.
For all of Silva's greatness – and it should be said here that the loss in the main event of UFC 162 before 12,399 at the MGM Grand Garden does nothing to diminish that – he's always been different than the vast majority of his peers.
He kept his hands at his side repeatedly in Saturday's bout, urging Weidman to hit him. Several times, he banged his own fist on his chin and shouted at Weidman to fight. A few times, he put his hands on his hips, stood flat-footed and sneered at his unbeaten challenger.
UFC president Dana White was enraged by his performance at UFC 110 in Abu Dhabi, when Silva kept his hands at his side and taunted Demian Maia in a similar manner.
But after the UFC crowned a new middleweight champion for the first time since Oct. 14, 2006, when Silva knocked out Rich Franklin, White had nothing but praise for Silva.
Many angry fans took to social media to accuse Silva of throwing the fight, a ludicrous notion. White dealt with that aggressively, saying, "That's the stupidest [expletive] thing I've heard in my life."
Then asked if he felt Silva disrespected Weidman or the UFC of the fans who paid up to $1,200 for a seat, White again was aggressive and passionate in his defense of his deposed champion.
"Fans came here to see a fight and they saw a great fight tonight," White said defiantly. "Was it disrespectful? I don't know. This is fighting. How do you disrespect someone in a fight? I'm going to punch you in the face, try to knock you out and try to take your leg off.
"If I grab your arm, I'm going to take that off. I'm going to strangle you if I get your neck. But I don't want to disrespect you? And you know, I think what Weidman did to him was pretty damn disrespectful, too."
Silva taunted Weidman throughout the fight, clearly trying to draw the former All-American wrestler at Hofstra into a striking match. Weidman didn't do much in the first round and there was a sense as he walked to his corner at the end of the first that Silva's mind games were having an impact.
But when Silva did it in the second, it cost him his title and ended his UFC-record unbeaten streak at 16 fights.
Silva effectively dodged several punches, but he couldn't dodge the last, a crushing left hook that landed square on the butt of Silva's chin. He was down and out quickly, and referee Herb Dean stopped it at 1:18.
Weidman said afterward in the Octagon that he "was pissed off," by Silva's antics, but took a more understanding tone at the post-fight news conference.
"I didn't see him as being cocky; I saw it as him trying to mentally defeat [me] in there," Weidman said at the news conference. "That's just part of the warfare. He's trying to defeat you. It's like any other style. It works for him. I tried to not let it get into my head. I was like, 'I'm going to keep walking forward, walking forward, throwing my punches.' Then it got to a point where he was doing it and I was like, 'Screw this. I'm hitting him.' "
And hit him he did, ending Silva's hard-to-believe reign. There are no mixed martial arts fighters who pile up 30, 40, 50 or more wins in a row without a loss, as some top boxers do, because there are so many more ways to lose in MMA – it's difficult to win six in a row, let alone 16.
But it would have been better had Silva gone out fighting, trying to knock Weidman out, rather than with his hands at his side while playing mind games.
The loss does nothing to diminish Silva's legacy, and it's ludicrous to even suggest it does.
But it sure left a bad taste in the mouth of those who wanted to see the greatest fighter ever perform and wound up getting far less than his best.

Boost controllers are some of the most effective and value-friendly performance upgrades you can perform on your turbocharged vehicle. With our extensive range of manual and electronic boost controllers, you can be sure of truly optimised turbo performance, quicker boost and better acceleration.
Boost controllers help to regulate the amount of air going into the intake manifold of a turbocharger, thus controlling the boost it generates. This makes for one of the most simple and easy performance and power increases available for your vehicle, as well as a truly customised performance experience. In turn, this ensures that your vehicle's turbo is performing in a way that's as easy on your engine, as efficient and as effective as possible.
By regulating the amount of air going into the turbo more efficiently, boost controllers can help your vehicle's turbo spool quicker and reach peak levels of boost much more efficiently. Boost controllers can come in both manual forms, which regulate boost through adjustable valves in turbocharged vehicles that also have waste gates. For all other vehicles, electronic boost controllers attach to your vehicle's ECU to regulate boost according to your driving conditions and preference.

no you look at MY jersey.
As long as he got his foot amputated I'd welcome him back in a rotational role
I thought Jennings was alot older than 29 (turned 29 in Sept). He's got another 2-3 years of good productivity (if healthy). I'd be more than happy to sign him for a 4 year deal.
This thread is about Welker. If you want a Jennings thread, wait 3 minutes and JCB will have one up.
Actually if we stayed with Palmer's scheme Welker might be a guy to consider. But we really don't need him. We can use Washington or Wright in the slot and if we spend money on a FA WR it should be an outside guy that can take the top off the defense.
Welker is another player that when you take him away from Brady and the system, he maybe very average. Only other team I could see him fitting and having alot of success is the SAINTS. We would try to use him, as a wr 1 or wr 2 when he is a slot guy wr3. I wonder how good kendall wright would look in N.O or the N.E. offense? Again Brees, brady, manning, and rogers make recievers look better than maybe they actually are. This is the team that brought in randy moss and wouldn't use him. We had donnie avery on the roster and wouldn't use him, he actually looked good in Indy. Wonder what jared cook would look like with any of the teams and qb's listed above?

Since the election, I've heard the same old, same old from the different factions of the Indian Trail town council. One side censures the mayor, the other side accuses the council of corruption in a plot too thin even for network TV. This is a joke and why we wanted a new start. Good luck to the new council members. Maybe the next time Indian Trail appears in the news, it won't be for a political cartoon we're all embarrassed by.

By David Russell of OptionMonster
NEW YORK -- Pharmaceuticals were strong on Friday, and upside options were really flowing in Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY).
OptionMonster's tracking systems detected bullish activity at two strikes in particular. Traders started with the shorter-term Weekly 54 calls expiring on Dec. 6, snapping up more than 5,000 contracts in volume well above previous open interest of 1,316. Premiums rose from 22 cents to 41 cents, with most of the large blocks pricing for 24 cents to 34 cents. .
These long calls lock in the price where a stock can be purchased, letting investors profit from a rally while risking only small amounts of capital. Their cheap cost also offers the potential for significant leverage if the drug maker pushes higher.
About an hour later, buyers turned to the March 52.50 calls, mostly paying $2.92. Some 5,400 changed hands against open interest of 1,047 contracts.
Bristol-Myers ended the session up 2.02% to $53.41. The company received a key upgrade from Morgan Stanley on Oct. 28 based on the promise of its cancer treatments. Shares have been consolidating at their highest levels in more than a decade since then.
Total option volume in the name was four times greater than average in the session. Overall calls outnumbered puts by almost 5 to 1.
Russell has no positions in BMY.

I have delayed saying a public thank you to Andrew Marsden and his gallant flight crew for their fabulous efforts in mounting Batley Vintage Day in order that our gratitude didn't get lost in the welter of praise that was quite rightly poured on them for a truly fabulous day.
We are truly grateful because Andrew chose to support the food bank with the "bring a tin to get in" message that went out with the publicity and we are very grateful to the public who responded with such wonderful generosity. Our shelves were much replenished at the end of the day and many people chose to give cash donations instead allowing us to stock up on those items that we constantly run out of.
It is extremely heartening when people intent on having a good day out can nevertheless spare some thoughts for those in a less fortunate position and the generosity of Batley folk never fails to amaze.
So once again, thank you Andrew Marsden and thank you the good people of Batley - and the visitors from near and far.

If you had the brains god gave a chipmunk, you wouldn't be spouting nonsense like that. The Oregon Forest Practices Act was written by the wood products industry, and is pretty damned good environmental law. It includes protection of streams, fish, wildlife, mandatory reforestation and bans all harvesting or pesticide application until a plan is filed with the State Forestry Department. The land owners and mill owners did a really good thing, long before the hippiedippie tree huggers came along clutching their ignorance. The only problem being that the Feds decided they didn't have to adhere to state laws, so they did any damned thing they wanted to do and made a royal mess of things. Absentee landlord, don't ya know? If the feds would divest of all those forest holdings, things would be managed a whole lot better. After 20 years of public debate, the feds *still* don't have the foggiest idea what they are doing. The Bozons in DC have completely lost touch with reality if they think they can treat logging as a point source of turbidity. They may as well treat the whole river as a point source of pollution. When you have rivers that drop thousands of feet in just a 100 mile run to the sea and are next to the north Pacific and its storms, turbidity is just a fact of life. If you want the mud to settle out, you have to go back to flooding hundreds of square miles of bottom land so the water doesn't run so fast. Of course, the bottom lands are now covered with cities, but as long as everyone keeps a boat in the garage it shouldn't be too bad. It's just one more case of hippiedippie "I want YOU to clean up MY environment." Nothing is going to get fixed until they assume responsibility for their own actions rather than blaming somebody thousands of miles away. -- Larry

I realize the title might offend some…read on.
If you know someone who has breast cancer…read on.
If you care about what happens to a woman after a mastectomy…read on.
If you know a survivor…read on.
And if you, or a woman you love, has been diagnosed with breast cancer, please…read on.
There's a wonderful group of women just outside Tacoma, WA, in Lakewood, to be exact, who gather at Yorkshire Yarns, to do, among other fiber arts things, knit breasts. Yes, you read it right. It's the Knitty Titty Committee. And they'd like all of us to join them.
What's this all about? It comes down to comfort and self-empowerment…and, once again, terrific fiber artists reaching out to each other and to other women.
A little history lesson: in 2002, 28 year old Chesley Flotten, in Brunswick, ME, was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer.
And she was pregnant.
That year she had the first of two mastectomies.
In 2007, she had the second.
But in 2006, her fiber artist friend, Mary Ellen, as Chesley says, "presented me with the most thoughtful and joyful gift-a knitted boob!" After wearing her new knitted "boob" to the Breast Health Center at Mid-Coast Hospital in Brunswick, ME, and showing it to her surgeon and Kim Lynch, the Breast Health Center's Coordinator, a movement was born: Knitted Knockers.
Here's what Chesley says about knitted v. silicone breast prostheses:
"…Sounds silly, doesn't it? Yet, when placed in a bra, these knitted breasts take the shape and feel of a real breast. They are lighter and more comfortable than silicone prosthetic breasts. The knitted fabric breathes and prevents the heat rash experienced by many women wearing the silicone ones.
Did you know that just one silicone prosthetic breast costs between $300 and $500?! Without health insurance, they are out of the reach of most breast cancer survivors. Even those with insurance are limited to a new prosthetic breast every two years. If it springs a leak that is not covered by the warranty, you are out of luck.
With a knitted breast, you can have a different one for every day of the week. Perhaps add a little embroidery for that tattoo you always wanted!"
How about starting our own groups wherever our readers are scattered?
And, hey, local yarn shops in the Capital Region and beyond, let's do this.
If we time this right we'll all be up and running by autumn, in time for October: Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
According to Chesley, here's what all of us have to do:
"First, knit a knocker.
Then, contact the local hospital, oncology unit, women's health center, or your local chapter of the American Cancer Society. Find out who serves as the liaison for breast cancer patients. Describe the knitted breasts and the tremendous impact they have already had. Feel free to refer them to our website and story and bring in the breast you have knit to show them exactly what it looks like.
Find other knitters to join you. Perhaps declare a Knitting Knocker Day sometime in October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month."
You ready? We can do this.

JUNEAU - The Juneau Federal Building recycling committee has worked for the past two years to promote and increase recycling in the Juneau Federal Building. As a result, the Federal Building's trash disposal has been reduced by 25 percent.
The recycling committee distributed informational posters and e-mails about how and what to recycle, and coordinated with GSA and REACH to install recycling stations in the post office lobby and on each floor of the federal building.
The committee also worked with GSA to include recycling pick-up from each floor in the recently renewed janitorial contract.
Employee volunteers from several federal agencies continue to facilitate and improve recycling within their agencies.

The Kopp Publishing Company recently held a series of lectures in Germany to discuss the impending doom of the EU and the chocolate pennies which currently pass for its currency. It was an ensemble piece of financiers, economists and casino bankers, but amidst the advice and prognostication came a warning which I suspect a lot of writers outside the MSM know perfectly well to be accurate:
"[Udo] Ulfkotte warned of impending unrest in Europe, which we can also expect in Germany. Many in the hall gasped when the secret service expert reported: Unnoticed by media and public, 'special action forces are being prepared all over Europe to forcefully put down the expected social protests. Until a few days ago, reported the ex-correspondent of FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), not even the parliamentary representatives charged with responsibility for control of the secret services had known that there has for years been a secret European organization of informants whose target above all is EU opponents and critics. "The work groups form cross-border teams, which, for example, are supposed to observe potential ringleaders and plant contact people in their environment.'"
[Hat tip: Gates of Vienna]
When the grand guignol debacle of the EU finally hits the tarmac with its undercarriage firmly locked in the stowed position, there will be blood. Our police, of course, showed themselves to be utterly useless during last summer's rioting. European police, however, the forces of naturally fascist countries such as Spain, Italy and France, will not spare the night-stick and might be less inclined to act like social workers on a lunchbreak from their latest racial diversity course.

Now then, 238 is fair of face, 168 is full of grace, 320 is full of woe, and 312 has far to go. Lambs born a couple of days ago had been turned on to the Cutlins field above the Priory with their ewes. They were all numbered in blue paint and, like the old fortune-telling rhyme, their destinies were cast. Here, in another of the countless years of these fields, the lambs would grow from scrappy puppets, bounding over the roots of tall lime trees with a vitality far older than the domestication of their kind, into breed replicas to be driven off to the abattoir.
Around them stalked rooks, jackdaws, crows and a couple of ravens. The birds adopted a casual disinterest in the field, as if not wanting to alarm the sheep, but all the time watching and waiting for an opportunity to take an eye that failed to look into theirs. Most of the corvids moved on, leaving a few behind to slip through the crowd like secret police. This had been a slow, sorry season: cold, wet and relentlessly grey. In an abandoned garden overgrown with thorn and bramble, brilliant clumps of snowdrops shone in the shadows around a deer skeleton without its skull. Russians call the bodies of those found after the winter thaw snowdrops. The first tree to send leaves into this greyness was the elder. Its small, purple-streaked tufts opened into a moment of sunlight sweeping the hedge. But at the tree's base spread the Judas's Ear fungus: in a flowering of erotic lips the fungus announced mortality – for the elder tree, the snowdrops and especially the lambs. The season would change, the green would grow, the rot would set and their numbers would soon be up.

Castelli Free tri Short and Jersey review
- Price Paid:$130.00
User rating:(4.9)
- Would buy again from this company: Yes
- Used product for: 1 months
- # of logged workouts:
"Simply said I am a Castelli fan. I have used their cycling gear for a few years now and when I heard they were starting a triathlon division I was pretty excited. This is a relatively new product line for them but the shorts and shirt combo are fantastic. They are comfortable, breath well, shed water well and are extremely light. I will use these in most every race I do"imdapman
Ease of use
Great fitting with no adjustments
Quality of Construction
As is expected with Castelli Gear the construction is excellent. All flatlock stitching and high quality materials. I particularly like the small hooks on the jersey that clip into the Shorts to keep them all in place
Fit runs true to Castelli sizing which means it runs small for US sizing. I am 5'9 137 lbs and a medium is a perfect fit
By far the most comfortable tri shorts and jersey I have ever worn
I have only used them a few times now but I expect them to last as long as the rest of my Castelli gear
Castelli is a little pricey but you get what you pay for here.
As I have come to expect from Castelli it is a great fit both top and bottom. Sharp Castelli graphics with comfortable trim. The only drawback is it comes in only white with red trim for the men and pink for the ladies. For me this isnt a problem as I prefer this color combo but for some it may be an issue
Seems to shed water well. The water actually beads off the shorts which is kind of amazing. The chamois is simply amazing. It is designed specific for triathletes so the cushioning is thickest in the high front center. This makes it extremely comfortable when sitting on the nose of your saddle for hours. They have also trimmed the wings of the chamois so it is still very comfortable to run in them. I have done a half iron distance in them and they worked flawlessly with zero discomfort. For the ladies out there my wife has this same kit and her only complaint is no built in bra
Well made
Sheds water
Tight fit(no flapping)
Very comfortable shorts
Jersey is tight(I list this as a weakness and a strength as some dont like clothing this snug)
Extremely light
Only one color available(White)
Jersey is tight(I list this as a weakness and a strength as some dont like clothing this snug)
For the ladies(no built in bra)( I bought my wife the same kit)

As parents we all strive to find what we regard as the 'best' school for our children - but experts are now saying if we are basing our choice on academic achievements, we could actually be HARMING our kids.
Researchers at the London School of Economics have published a paper which claims that some children could actually do better at a worse school with less competition, and that surrounding children with 'brainbox' peers could leave them academically worse off.
They say that for weaker students of either sex, less competitive schools could be the best option, allowing pupils to be psychologically better off by being a 'bigger fish in a smaller pond'.
Dr Felix Weinhardt, a post-doctoral research fellow in economics, said his findings go against the common assumption that having better peers is always the best for children.
"Previously we thought there were no negative effects," he said. "But just making it into a better school and being at the bottom end of the ranks can have a negative effect."
Researchers looked at almost 2.3million English pupils taking National Curriculum tests in maths, English and science, and used Key Stage 2 assessments as a benchmark of ability for 11-year-olds, and Key Stage 3 tests to rate how well 14-year-olds did at secondary school.
The project also used the finding of a survey on confidence taken by 15,000 pupils.

World War One starts with the death of Franz Ferdinand and the mobilisation of European troops. Clashes in northern France remain indecisive as French assaults falter on German defences. The German High Command, seeing Russia as the biggest threat, send their forces eastward, leaving the Western Front as a defensive measure for now. Italy also declares war on France, liking the odds the Central Powers are offering. Britain hovers before eventually declaring neutrality after seeing none of their interests threatened and Belgian neutrality respected. The War soon develops into a bloody stalemate with the Central Powers slowly edging toward their targets.
Seeing the chaos in Europe, the Ottoman Empire declares war on France, hoping to exploit their weakness in the Middle East and gain some measure of support for the moribund regime. Seeing this as an utterly unprovoked and despicable attack, Britain declares war on the Ottoman Empire while Germany pressures China into doing the same, not wanting to war on a former Ally but also not wanting to let the Ottoman Empire get away with what is seen as a dirty move.
Toward the end of the year, a large selection of Chinese troops and British ships stage an attack on Gallipoli, taking incredible casualties. Despite that, the Chinese troops under the leadership of Duan Qirui eventually overcome the defences, making a beachhead and gain a victory over the Ottoman Army. With the collapse of Turkey, the British gain vassal states in the Middle East while China takes control of Turkey itself. In Europe, German forces break through Russian lines in Poland and march east. In the west, French forces still find themselves in bloody stalemate with Germany and Italy.
With the occupation of Turkey, the Chinese Emperor is convinced by several German influenced ministers to visit his troops, a sort of diplomatic sign to Europe of Chinese strength. The move is oddly welcomed by the European powers as they see that the Chinese holding Constantinople is better than anyone else holding the But all is not right in the Middle Kingdom, as with the Emperor, his family and most of the elite German trained troops now out of the country, Revolutionary feeling, suppressed six years ago, explodes throughout Southern China and quickly spreads across the nation. Imperial forces either defect to the Revolutionaries or are promptly slaughtered.
By the middle of the year, the parts of the government still loyal to the Qing are forced to flee the country, managing to get to Turkey. The first signs of the Chinese government-in-exile begin to show. Elsewhere in Europe, the War still grinds on in the Central Powers favour as German troops march beyond the Baltic and into Russia proper.
At the Siege of Smolensk, the German army outflanks and destroys an entire Russian Army twenty miles west of the city, finally making the Tsarist government to see sense and surrender. Seeing that there was now no hope of victory, the French also gave up before the full might of Germany's army can be unleashed upon them.
The Treaty which ended World War One was signed at Nuremberg and contained the following agreements:
The Principality of Poland was to be created out of Russian lands and placed under German control. Effectively making it an autonomous region in the German Empire.
Italy was to receive Corsica for its part in the War.
Austro-Hungary annexed Montenegro and northern Albania, Serbia is effectively made a region of the Empire as it loses its military and foreign sovereignty to Vienna.
France was to give the colonies of Madagascar, Indo-China and their Middle East mandates to Germany.
All parties were to recognise the Chinese government in exile as the true ruling power in Turkey.
France was to pay reparations for the German defences damaged during the war and also for the loss of life for German soldiers on the Western front.
All parties were to recognise the various nations created by Britain in the Middle East after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
A non-aggression clause is to be signed by all interested nations that would last for ten years.
The Treaty was seen as harsh but workable by all parties. The biggest winners were Britain as they gained some new Allies in the Middle East with little cost of life. Germany also got a large boost of prestige and power from the newly acquired territories in Poland and the colonies.

Cover portions of leaves with identifiable shaped masks. Leave for a day or two and then test for starch formation with iodine solution. Even more fun would be to get them to produce some indigo. For this you need either indigo or Woad (Isatis tinctoria). Boil up the leaves in soft water. Strain off liquor, reduce the pigment with ammonia and sodium dithionite, dip in some cotton fabric, boil up again and then remove SLOWLY from the vat and watch the indigo turn blue as the oxygen gets to it. If you have any problems over supply get in touch with your nearest group of weavers, spinners and dyers. Good luck, Peter Harris

Barcelona winger Pedro is disappointed by the sale of David Villa to Atletico Madrid.
Villa was a surprise sale to Atletico last month.
"Villa is a dear person to me," said Pedro. "I've shared many moments with him. I miss him personally and on the pitch. I have the good fortune of meeting him with the national team and I enjoy that. I'm very glad things are going well for him at Atletico.
"He is a reference point for Spanish football. I would have liked him to stay, but these things happen. I wish him well."
