Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera made history Wednesday, becoming the first baseball player since 1967 to win the triple crown, The New York Times reports.
Check out our full MLB listings
Cabrera leads the American League in home runs (44), batting average (.330) and runs batted in (139) for the season.See which live sports are on tonight
Cabrera is only the fifteenth player to earn the honor. Though greats including Babe Ruth or Joe DiMaggio never accomplished it the feat, Ted Williams did so twice. Others in the elite club include Mickey Mantle and Carl Yastrzemski, the last player to win the triple crown before Cabrera.Cabrera was in the clubhouse when the announcement was made in the sixth inning of the Tigers' eventual 1-0 win over Kansas CIty. "Right now, it's an unbelievable feeling," Cabrera said.

Ok now that I have my mounts back from Africa I have some questions. First is does anyone know what the oily like substance is on my shoulder mounts(smells like a solvant or an insecticide)? Is it something that can be washed out? Second is these are the first skull mounts I have. I want to mount them to a plaque. Prob in the shape of Africa. Any recommendations on ways to do this? Just brain storming now. Finally any thoughts on how to attach the horns to the skull since they come detached crime the skull? Thanks in advance for the help!!
Here is a link to a thread with all the info you should need. As for the oily substance talk with your taxidermist. It is probably insecticide in which case I would try to wash it with soapy water (on a cloth not submersed). Use Dawn dish detergent as a soap, by far the best. Always sponge with the grain of the hair or angling across it never against it. http://www.africahunting.com/before...stmas-october-trophies-airport.html#post40379
Here are some suppliers for panels/Skull mounts. Taxidermy Supplies from Research Mannikins look at Trophyhanger and P-1130 panel (multiple skulls) McKenzie Taxidermy Supply - Leading supplier of taxidermy supplies Animals in motion (would require a bit of modification for skulls) Both places have standard european skull panels. Order your panel just slightly larger than your skull but as close to actual length as possible.
I just did a Google search for "european mount hanger"and found some possible options. Only question is strength on mount. Don't know if they could hold a buffalo skull, some should? I saw some things on sights diamond pointed out. I am def going to have to think about this.
Research Mannikins Trophyhanger (link above) has models for Cape Buffalo and one even bigger for Bison. I have not used them and would only be guessing as to how they are intended to be attached but they do have a good tech team that would give you step by step info for this.

Management of Information Technology/Information Systems
BSc in Management of Information Technology and Information Systems
- Course type Undergraduate
- Qualification Honours Bachelors Degree
- Delivery Modes Online Distance Learning
- Duration Continuous
This online course will equip you with degree-level competence in Information Technology/Information Systems and their application to the processes of innovation, management and administration. The programme will be of particular relevance if you're working in or aspiring to work in management, administration, enterprise or institutional development, or industrial training and teaching, especially if you have no third-level IT/IS qualification or only a sub-degree IT/IS qualification.
The programme is designed for those aspiring to the management of the IT function, those interested in using IT to promote enterprise or institutional development and renewal, and those interested in industrial training and teaching positions in IT.
About the course
Understanding the Course:
The primary aim of this programme is to equip students with Diploma/Degree level competencies in the Management of the IT/IS functions within organisations. It also aims to equip students with a critical appreciation of the potential application of IT/IS to the processes of administration, management and innovation within a range of businesses and other organisations. Graduates of the programme will emerge with a unique mix of skills in IT and business.
About You:
The programme should be of particular relevance to those working or aspiring to work in the IT/IS industry, especially those with no third-level IT/IS qualification or with a sub-degree IT/IS qualification. The programme is particularly designed for those aspiring to the management of the IT function; those interested in using IT to promote enterprise or institutional development and renewal and those interested in industrial training and teaching positions in IT.
How the course is delivered:
For each module you study, you are given access to a specially written module text. On some modules you will also study from selected textbook(s). You also get access to the vast range of online academic journals and other resources provided by the DCU Library. In addition, you will be given access to video lectures on selected topics.
Tutorial support on this programme comes in three forms: (1) Face-to-face tutorials are provided in DCU - nearly always on Saturdays; (2) Online tutorial support through the use of discussion forums in a virtual learning environment called Loop where you can interact with your fellow students and tutors; (3) Live virtual classroom tutorials using live online lecturer software. Students can partake in these virtual classroom tutorials at home, work or anywhere with a broadband internet connection. All that is required is a computer with a webcam and headset. These tutorials are recorded so they can be viewed again later and usually take place on weekday evenings.
How the course is assessed:
Most modules are assessed via continuous assessment and an end-of-year examination. The continuous assessment normally takes the form of three assignments which are submitted at pre-defined dates during the academic year. Other modules (HS2, HSA, SDA and MS00B) are currently assessed by continuous assessment only i.e. there is no examination. Students can sit their end-of-year examinations in an examination center in Dublin, Cork or Galway.
IT Equipment and Skills required:
You should have regular access to a computer (with Microsoft Office), a broadband Internet connection, a printer and a basic headset and a webcam. Specifically, you will need access to Microsoft Word and Excel.
You should also be familiar with using email, browsing the Web, and using word processing packages.
You can find detailed information on the IT skills and equipment required for this programme under the section 'Technology Requirements'.
Mathematics - Recommendation:
Certain modules (specifically the Management Science 1 and Communications Technology 1 modules) require a competence in mathematics roughly equivalent to pass Leaving Certificate level. While a Leaving Certificate mathematics qualification is not mandatory, students without recent exposure to mathematics should consider updating their skills by enrolling in a Leaving Certificate mathematics course or by studying Leaving Certificate mathematics textbooks. After you have applied, you are given online access to a Preparatory Mathematics textbook specially written for Open Education students.
Because of the way the programme is structured, you do not have to defer commencement of the programme while you develop your competence in mathematics. You could still take a preparatory mathematics course in parallel with other modules not requiring competence in this area specifically the Human Computer Interaction (HS1) and IT and Web Technology Fundamentals (C1) modules. Also, it is not recommended to take the Communications Technology 1 module before completing the Management Science 1 module (unless you have a strong background in mathematics and/or physics/electronics).
Course Structure:
Students register for the Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in the Management of IT/IS awarded by Dublin City University. To gain this degree, students must successfully complete fourteen modules. However, students may exit the programme with a Diploma in the Management of IT/IS, also awarded by Dublin City University, on completion of the eight modules at Levels 1 and 2.
An outline of the academic structure of the programme is given in Figure 1.

Exile Tibetan leadership launches solidarity campaign in Delhi
[Tuesday, January 29, 2013 20:48]
Speaker Penpa Tsering (left) and Sikyong Dr Lobsang Sangay addressing the press in New Delhi on January 29, 2013. (Phayul photo)
NEW DELHI, January 29: On the eve of the four-day Tibetan People's Solidarity Campaign in New Delhi, the speaker of the Tibetan Parliament and the
de facto
Tibetan prime minster today jointly addressed a press conference at the Press Club of India here.
Over 100 media personnel attended the conference which began with the screening of the documentary 'What is China doing in Tibet' released by the Dharmahsala based Central Tibetan Administration.
Speaking first, Speaker Penpa Tsering of the Tibetan Parliament warned that the situation inside Tibet is "getting more and more grim."
"Therefore, the Tibetan cabinet and the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile have jointly decided to come to Delhi for the first time in the history of our struggle to organise a four-day programme to seek the attention of our host country as well as the international community to call upon the Chinese government to look into the causes of why Tibetans are self-immolating," he said.
Despite repeated appeals by the exile Tibetan administration, 99 Tibetans have set themselves on fire protesting Chinese rule and demanding freedom and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama since 2009.
Introducing the solidarity campaign from January 30 – February 2, Speaker Tsering announced that India's former deputy Prime Minister LK Advani would be among a host of top Indian leaders addressing the first day of the campaign tomorrow at the Talkatora Stadium.
Over the next four days various events such as peace marches, interfaith prayers, day-long fasting, public address by Indian leaders, lobbying efforts with foreign diplomats among others will be held.
Speaker Tsering noted that the mass prayer meeting on February 1 will be presided by Kyabje Gaden Tri Rinpoche, the first throne holder of Gelugpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism of Indian origin.
Speaking next, Sikyong Dr Lobsang Sangay, the elected head of the Tibetan people, said China's policies of political repression, cultural assimilation, population transfer, racial discrimination, economic and education marginalisation and environmental destruction were the causes behind the self-immolations in Tibet.
de facto
Tibetan prime minister noted that 70 per cent of economic enterprises in the so called Tibetan Autonomous Region are owned or run by Chinese, while 40 per cent Tibetan college and high school graduates are unemployed.
"Facing such repressive policies and with no freedom of speech or expression, Tibetans are resorting to the drastic way of protest by setting fire to themselves," Sikyong Sangay said. "It reflects the desperation as well as the determination of the Tibetan people to protest with their lives."
Speaking about the strong historical, cultural, and academic bond that Indians and Tibetans share and the security threat currently imposed by China, the Harvard law graduate noted that Tibet "ought to be one of the core issues of India vis-à-vis China."
He ascertained that the Tibetan movement is "very much made in India," arguing that the democracy that Tibetans practice is inspired by India and Tibet's policy of non-violence follows Mahatma Gandhi's notion of Ahimsa. Many of the Tibetan leaders, including Speaker Tsering and himself have been born and brought up in India, he added.
"Indian government and people have extended so much support to the Tibetans for which we are eternally grateful," Sikyong Sangay said. "But we would like to see a little bit more given the gravity of the situation in Tibet."
More than 5000 Tibetans have converged in the national capital from all over India, Nepal, and Bhutan to take part in the solidarity events. Over 1500 Indian supporters are also expected to take part in the campaign.
At the press club, a travelling exhibition on Tibetan history and culture titled, 'Looking Homeward' and a ten-panel photo exhibition on the self-immolation protests were displayed.

FontanaArte was founded by architect Gio Ponti in 1932. A leader in advanced Italian glass manufacturing and design, FontanaArte's works were first distinguished by artistic stained-glass windows, many of which remain a part of modern life (Duomo of Milan, Cathedral of Brasilia). Ponti realized the potential of this material and soon FontanaArte started to produce furniture, lamps and objects with glass as the main distinguishing feature.
Over the years, FontanaArte has collaborated with many architects and designers including Pietro Chiesa, Gae Aulenti, Pierluigi Cerri, Piero Castiglioni, Vico Magistretti, Vittorio Gregotti, Ettore Sottsass, Umberto Riva, Alvaro Siza and Renzo Piano, all of whom have contributed to the very high quality of design that is FontanaArte.
Norman Foster is one of the most prolific architects of his generation. Soon after Mr. Foster birth, his family moved to Manchester, which he dubbed as "one of the workshops of the world" and "the embodiment of a great city". During his school years, Mr. Foster was fascinated with engineering and the process of designing, which caused him to pursue a career in industrial design. Specific interests included aircraft - a hobby he maintains today; and trains, generated by viewing passing trains on the railway outside his terraced home during his childhood.
In 1994 Mr. Foster received the AIA Gold Medal. In 1999, he was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize, often referred to as the Nobel Prize of architecture. In 2009, Foster received the Prince of Asturias Award in the Arts category.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Dave Chase is CEO of Avado, which provides patient relationship management systems for healthcare and is a member of White House Roundtable on Patient Access to Health Data.
The biggest mega-trend in healthcare is a shift towards fee-for-value from what some call the "do more, bill more" era of healthcare that is bankrupting governments and impacting business' competitiveness. The most prominent new model is the Accountable Care Organization (ACO). Skeptics say ACOs will be a repeat of the failings of HMOs. Proponents say they have fixed the shortcomings that were the undoing of HMOs.
Last week was "Health Week" in Washington DC featuring an array of conferences and meetings related to healthcare. [See previous article reporting on a meeting at the White House - Mr. Obama, Tear Down This Wall.] At an event hosted by the U.S. Chief Technology Officer, some of the most prominent people in healthcare spoke about the complete reinvention of the industry: the former Senate Majority Leader and current healthcare entrepreneur Bill Frist, Health & Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, Jonathan Blum Deputy Administrator and Director for the Center of Medicare at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the individual many consider the best medical storyteller and commentator in healthcare, Dr. Atul Gawande.
Process and Payment Reform Drive Breakthroughs
After opening comments by Jonathan Blum, Dr. Gawande gave a compelling presentation about how the resourcefulness of military doctors has cut the death rate of injured soldiers in half. Connecting this fact with the ACO panel he moderated following his talk, he described how it was an improved process, not new technology that enabled the breakthrough. During Gawande's presentation, he shared how there was no correlation between higher quality outcomes and spending more. [Update: See the end of the post for video of Gawande's presentation.] If there was a correlation that more money spent led to better outcomes, it would be clear that rationing practices would be the only way to solve the cost crisis. Instead, the key is to identify best practices and replicate them. To this end, Gawande moderated a panel of the so-called "Pioneer ACOs" which have been funded by government grants. According to Gregg Masters of ACO Watch there are 39 Pioneer ACOs and 162 pure private sector funded ACOs. This was followed by presentations by companies offering software for the myriad of new requirements required by ACOs.
The following three leaders from Pioneer ACOs spoke:
- Joe Kimura from Atrius Health and Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates is the Pioneer Data Action Group lead and Medical Director of Analytic and Reporting Systems
- Nancy Boerner from Monarch Health Care is their Chief Medical Officer
- Sam VanNorman from Park Nicollet is their Director of Data Analytics and Business Intelligence
If you read about some of the steps on the path to success for ACOs, they include how to align payment with value, institute leadership and cultural change by gaining buy-in from the clinicians critical to the reinvention. A veteran of value-based healthcare providers and expert on patient-centered design, Sherry Reynolds clearly states that everyone must be on the same team and there can be no fee-for-service providers in a fully functioning ACO. In parallel, it's critical to identify the high cost/risk patients that will make the difference between making or losing money when the healthcare provider takes on financial risk inherent in ACO models. If the high risk patients aren't managed effectively, they run the risk of eating up the payments that come in blocks.
The Untapped Care Member and New Metrics
VanNorman shared an insight that was recounted in various forms by other Pioneer ACOs. "We have come to realize we have to incorporate the most important member of the care team -- the patient. With our finite resources, we must figure out ways to offload what we have thought as tasks that needed to be done by our staff. In most cases, it's the patient who can do it more effectively. In the process, the patient is more engaged and it's more efficient for everyone."
Brian Ahier, who works at a Planetree-certified facility which are noted for their patient-centered design shared a similar view. "If we are truly to transform our healthcare system it will necessitate having patients as a key member of the care team. Patient engagement is probably the greatest area of opportunity for innovation that will disrupt the industry. Using cloud based services and mobile technology while leveraging the big data capabilities through data aggregation, there is likely to be some great new businesses springing up that will radically challenge the status quo. Patient engagement is a key enabler of achieving the triple aim of improving the experience of care, improving population health, and lowering costs."

Crisp white kitchen cabinets have been my dream ever since I can remember (I couldn't have been the only 12 year old dreaming of remodeling my future kitchen? Right?), So when my husband and I were shopping for a house I was specifically looking for a kitchen with potential. I was hoping for icky looking cabinets that were sturdy and in good shape, plus a layout that would work.
When I saw this kitchen I knew exactly what I needed to do to make it look like this...
I have learned that there are a few very important (in my opinion) things that are often overlooked during a remodel. Of course there are the big changes like painting the cabinets and installing new countertops, but it's the smaller details that can make all the difference.
We raised the cabinet above the microwave and popped it forward a couple inches too. I think it gives the kitchen more of a custom feel. I wish now that we had also raised the cabinet above the refrigerator but that can be done another day I guess!
3. Cut out the center of a cabinet door and add glass
I had no idea how simple this would be! We just cut out the center panels then took the doors to a glass place (I'm sorry, I really don't know what else to call it!) and they installed a pane of glass in each. The best part is that it only cost 20 bucks for the two of them!
4. Add new hardware
New pulls and knobs give you a chance to personalize your kitchen a little more. Replacing old knobs may be a given but if your kitchen doesn't already have any to begin with I would definitely add some. When it comes to hinges, they will make cabinets look fresh and clean (plus hinges are totally cheap so you really can't lose!)
5. A new faucet
A pretty faucet will liven up the kitchen! I got mine at Costco for a great deal and it had all the practical features I was looking for.
6. Backsplash
We went with tile but there are lots of options. All the tile for our backsplash cost about $200 which I thought was a good deal but you could definitely spend a lot less and still have good results. Shop around for your tile, don't just choose from the selection at the big chain stores. I prefer a more neutral colored backsplash as opposed to a fun, trendy colored one that may not be trendy for long. You can always add color with accessories that can be changed out whenever you feel like it.

Next I put down some cute contact paper I picked up at the dollar store. I love that contact paper can make the normally ugly space under the sink pretty!
I also added a 3M Command hook to the inside of one of the doors to hang my dish gloves.
2. In our kitchen we have very limited drawer space. There is one huge drawer and 4 tiny drawers. I have come to really like my giant everything drawer and I like it even more now! It holds every cooking utensil I have plus all of our silverware. Making sure everything has a specific place has been the key to keeping this drawer efficient. Again, I used the same contact paper from the dollar store along with a few wire containers also from the dollar store.
3. I have finally figured out how to keep a junk drawer organized! So what's the secret? Don't treat it like a "junk" drawer! Instead of it being a catch-all, be more thoughtful about it. Before I stick anything in there I think to myself "Is this really the best, most efficient place for this item?" and it really has worked! Of course my husband will throw just about anything in there but it's nothing I can't handle. If I happen to see something that doesn't belong I take it out right away. It has been great being able to find a clothes pin or pair of scissors so easily!
5. Lastly, we have some organized upper cabinets.
Keeping our canned food organized was always hard because the cabinet is so deep and I could only see what was in the very front. I found these can organizers for a buck each (there are two in there), they make every can visible so I can easily see what we have. We keep the bulk of our canned food in a food storage room in the basement, so the kitchen cabinets don't get too cluttered.
Our spice cupboard had the same problem as the canned food but since the spices are so much smaller than the cans, I needed a different solution.
Now, don't laugh (Okay, I guess you can laugh) but I have been using a few spaghetti boxes to raise the spices. It actually has been working out perfectly!
The more spaces I organize the more I realize how easy it is to keep it that way. Going the extra mile to make the space pretty is just more to motivate you to keep it nice and neat.
Thank you so much for the full tour, Chloe! How sweet is that mail holder? Pull out drawer under the sink? Yes! Getting creative with spaghetti boxes? So resourceful! I'm completely motivated to go finish my half-done kitchen now! What was your favorite part? Let's chat kitchens!

Hit my usual thrift stores today. One is notorious for splitting suits up as they have 100+ jackets and like 5 suits on the rack. Found a nice Hickey Freeman jacket, and wanted those pants so took my time looking through pants (which I never do). On the last rack of pants I ended up finding them, but also found a pair of Isaia pants which are solid gray but obviously for a suit At least someone got a nice SC I'm sure.
Also found a NWT Canali tie, two Borrelli shirts, aMartin Greenfield S/C and a bunch of other goodies which I should have pictures and listed tomorrow.
Did you grab the pants? I'll take solid colored pants from isaia any day

Rave Architecture
No doubt about it, the Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage is an amazing space. As a music venue, though, this gloomy maze of looming, steep-sided chambers leaves a lot to be desired: Performers tend to drown in a quagmire of reflected sound. On June 28, the final installment of Creative Time's annual series of avant-electronica events (a 10th birthday bash for Frankfurt's Force Inc and its sister label, Mille Plateaux) saw some groups faring better with the acoustics than others. Panacea's 180-b.p.m. Gothkore bombast suited the medieval ambience, but Kid606's set was too busy and event-crammed (Boredoms do IDM) to thrive in this catacomb. SND suffered from the opposite syndrome: Too sparse even for the Anchorage, they sounded like an ailing metronome trapped in an echo chamber.
Luckily, Porter Ricks fit the space like a glove. Thomas Köner and Andy Mellweg first came to acclaim with their late-'90s releases on Chain Reaction, Berlin's "heroin house" label. Combining Köner's texturology (he's an avant-garde composer renowned for bleak arctic dronescapes) with Mellweg's grasp of house's pump-and-pound rhythm, Porter Ricks make formlessness funky.
But that's no preparation for how hard they rocked tonight: Imagine Eno's On Land meets the Stooges. Porter Ricks use a guitar processor on all their synth sounds, which helps explains the added grit in their grind. Early in the set, the songs felt like spelunking through spongy-walled caverns flushed with foamy water: total body-massage. But as the beat got steadily more bangin' and the texture-riffs flared fierce like magnesium, Porter Ricks hit a sublime pitch midway between warm pulse and cold rush: a sound as visceral as hardcore, as sensuous as deep house, as abstract as glitch. The combination of this glorious roar and the Anchorage's architecture was like being teleported through time-space to Berlin's legendary early-'90s club E-Werk, a disused power plant. Finally, the Anchorage became the rave temple it has always promised to be. Simon Reynolds

Wisecracked Rear View
"I'm such a sarcastic asshole," Eef Barzelay of Clem Snide told the capacity crowd at their record-release party at Mercury Lounge on Saturday night. As with all of rock's great sarcastic assholesfrom Dylan to Johnny Rotten to Eminemit's hard to tell when the leader of the Brooklyn-based band is kidding. The beauty in Clem Snide's music (most compelling on their new The Ghost of Fashion) lies in that tension between sincerity and ridicule. The wiseass wordplay of "Joan Jett of Arc" (introduced as "a sentimental song") barely hides the ache beneath, while that whole bit about Corey Feldman, the Bible, and Jesus playing guitar in "The Junky Jews" is downright confusing.
The setwhich began with Barzelay's spine-tingling a cappella performance of Ghost's most straightforwardly confessional track, "The Curse of Great Beauty," and ended with a rollicking bar-band-style cover of Neil Young's "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere"was no less difficult to decipher. Barzelay sang with his eyes half closed and his mouth wide open, just like an I'm-baring-my-soul-can't-you-people-see? singer-songwriter. But lines like "When it's my moment in the sun/Oh how beautiful I'll be/But in a normal sort of way," recited with a hint of a smirk over a chord progression eerily reminiscent of Hootie and the Blowfish's "Hold My Hand," drew laughter from the crowd. On the record, "Moment in the Sun" is pure devastation, but here the band built up its sweeping climax with such energy and abandon that it transformed the song into the world-embracing feel-good anthem it would be if Clem Snide actually were Hootie and the Blowfish, and the singer weren't such a goddamn talented sarcastic asshole. Amy Phillips
Hadda's Boogie
Eighty-four-year-old singer-pianist Hadda Brooks betrayed one minor concern during her Joe's Pub show on Friday, her first New York performance in seven years and first ever for the JVC Jazz Festival. "That's just the subway, right?" asked the wide-eyed Los Angeles native, momentarily startled by the low-pitched vibrations underground.
Despite her look of angst, Brooks and her decades of seismic activity outrumble any earthquake. In her glory days, she toured some 83,000 miles with the Harlem Globetrotters, kept company with Billie Holiday and Billy Tipton, and narrowly escaped sexual slavery in Algiers. She still rallies forces of nature, whether belting out "Old Man River" à la comedienne Martha Raye, demonstrating "Ballin' the Jack" with her swiveling hips center stage, or eluding spotlights for an extended romp through the audience. As she nested in some unassuming gentleman's lap, one had a hard time picturing her private audience with Pope Pius XII decades ago.
Although she became known in the 1940s as "Queen of the Boogie," arthritis tends to limit her to one example per seton Friday, the thundering "Hadda's Boogie." Her vocals, which bear a resemblance to Nat King Cole's, retain some but not all of their delicious, velvety warmth. On the other hand, age has also become a surprising ally. Unlike Anita O'Day, another wild woman who has somehow survived into her eighties, Brooks works a lyric to her advantage, refusing to acknowledge youth's monopoly on romantic ballads. "Why not take all of me?" becomes a different question in the hands of this Gray Panther than in those of any whippersnapper past, present, or future. Likewise, the words of her old TV theme song take on an added dimension: "To spend one night with you/In our old rendezvous/To reminisce with you/That's my desire." As Brooks sweetly crooned, she transformed the torch song into an open invitationshare an evening of song and she will give you the treasured memories of a lifetime. Lara Pellegrinelli

The techniques of Karate are used as a last resort. I have often written about this. If this "last resort" is reached, what rules apply to the use of Karate techniques -- what things are illegal, outlawed, or prohibited?
I know that this seems like a simple question. But even the most brutal forms of combat you might see on television have at least some rules. For example, I don't think any competition allows you to grab two of the attacker's fingers and split them apart. This is a very easy and useful technique, but pretty soon all the competitors would have mangled fingers.
In Karate, once the state of "last resort" is reached, there are no laws or rules. It is literally "kill or be killed," or very near that. You must defend yourself and loved ones. The attacker is not restricted by any rules, and you cannot afford to be restricted either.
My point is that unrestricted Karate is quite a different thing than competition Karate or children's Karate. This may sound severe and it is. Karate is a very serious thing. It is no less serious than carrying a gun or a knife.
When rules are applied to Karate, the techniques become less and less effective, and more and more dependent upon size and strength. Rule bound Karate puts women, older, and smaller students at a distinct disadvantage when attacked by a larger and stronger person.
Imagine if someone gave you a gun and told you that you could only use it to strike the attacker, like a hammer. You might as well not have the gun at all, or at least you should get a better hammer.
Rule bound Karate is a bit like having an unloaded gun and being allowed to only say "bang, bang."
If you practice rule bound Karate, your interpretation of techniques will be limited by the rules. The Karate elders of old had no such restrictions, and their techniques reflected this.

The international flights of Copa Airlines would now connect the Central American country Panama with the United States. Copa Airlines recently announced it will be launching its nonstop flights services between Boston and Panama City in July this year. The airline in a statement said that the flight would depart from Boston's Logan International Airport just before 10 am ever day for Panama City. The airline will deploy a 124-seat Boeing 737 aircraft to operate flight on Boston-Panama City route. The airline stated that it will be offering cheap air tickets starting at $528 round-trip. Boston is currently the largest U.S. market, which is still without a nonstop flight to Central or South America, despite having a great demand. More than 400,000 passengers traveled between Boston and the nearly 60 cities in Latin America in 2011 where Copa Airlines serves out of its hub in Panama City.

Mayor Walsh vows to help expand life sciences in both Boston and the region
Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh said Wednesday that he would push to expand the life sciences industry in the city, but also work with other communities to fuel industry growth in the region.
"We are home to the best hospitals and universities," Walsh told about 280 people at a policy leadership breakfast sponsored by the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council. "We have Vertex on the waterfront. We have Dana-Farber expanding in Longwood. And we need to continue that growth and expansion, not only in Boston, but in the region."
Walsh, who took office earlier this month, said that he would seek not only to expand the Innovation District in South Boston, but he would work to attract medical device manufacturing to create jobs in low-income areas such as Dudley Square.
The mayor said he had begun talking with MassBio president Robert K. Coughlin about putting together a team to press the manufacturing initiative.
"As mayor of the City of Boston, I'm ready to move forward with this partnership," Walsh told the life sciences executives.
