Daniel Bryan stripped off his WWE World Heavyweight title
The Daniel Bryan title reign is over. And just like that, with just one title defense under his belt, the fairytale from WrestleMania has been cut short due to a neck injury that is taking longer than expected to heal.
WWE tried to stick with Bryan through his injury by not stripping him off the title but after the latest indications that he would not be able to wrestle at the Money In The Bank pay-per-view, WWE took the right decision and took the title away. Certainly not the most popular decision by any means, but definitely one which is best for business, no pun intended.
The announcement was done at the start of Monday Night RAW yesterday by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon who for months tried to screw Daniel Bryan and made his road to the title as difficult as possible.
A short video clip of Dr. Joseph Maroon, WWE's head doctor, was aired on RAW where he basically says that while Bryan will be evaluated in the coming weeks, he would not be cleared to wrestle this month.
WWE anticipated this scenario and last week they announced that if Bryan is unable to compete at the pay-per-view, then he would be stripped off the title and the MITB ladder match would be for the title.
Bryan's title reign consisted of just one title defense, at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, where he defeated Kane in an extreme rules match.

Occupational Employment and Wages in Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton – May 2018
Workers in the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Metropolitan Statistical Area had an average (mean) hourly wage of $22.87 in May 2018, 8 percent below the nationwide average of $24.98, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Sheila Watkins, the Bureau's regional commissioner, noted that after testing for statistical significance, wages in the local area were lower than their respective national averages in 12 of the 22 major occupational groups, including legal; arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media; and computer and mathematical. Three groups, including education, training, and library, had average wages that were measurably higher than their respective national averages.
When compared to the nationwide distribution, local employment shares were significantly higher in 5 of the 22 occupational groups, including transportation and material moving, healthcare practitioners and technical, and office and administrative support. Conversely, 11 groups had employment shares significantly below their national representation; these groups included business and financial operations, management, and computer and mathematical. (See table A and box note at end of release.)

(1) A positive percent difference measures how much the mean wage in the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Metropolitan Statistical Area is above the national mean wage, while a negative difference reflects a lower wage.
* The mean hourly wage or percent share of employment is significantly different from the national average of all areas at the 90-percent confidence level.
One occupational group—transportation and material moving—was chosen to illustrate the diversity of data available for any of the 22 major occupational categories. Allentown had 41,740 jobs in transportation and material moving occupations, accounting for 11.5 percent of local area employment, significantly higher than the 7.1-percent share nationally. The average hourly wage for this occupational group locally was $17.33, significantly lower than the national wage of $18.41.
With employment of 19,920, hand laborers and freight, stock, and material movers was the largest occupation within the transportation and material moving group, followed by heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers with 6,160 jobs. Among the higher-paying jobs in this group were first-line supervisors of transportation and material-moving workers, except aircraft cargo handling supervisors ($31.38) and heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers ($23.52). At the lower end of the wage scale were automotive and watercraft service attendants ($11.38) and taxi drivers and chauffeurs ($12.12). (Detailed occupational data for transportation and material moving are presented in table 1; for a complete listing of detailed occupations available go to www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_10900.htm.)
Location quotients allow us to explore the occupational make-up of a metropolitan area by comparing the composition of jobs in an area relative to the national average. (See table 1.) For example, a location quotient of 2.0 indicates that an occupation accounts for twice the share of employment in the area as it does nationally. In the Allentown area, above-average concentrations of employment were found in several of the occupations within the transportation and material moving group. For instance, hand laborers and freight, stock, and material movers were employed at 2.7 times the national rate in Allentown, as were industrial truck and tractor operators. On the other hand, light truck or delivery service drivers had a location quotient of 1.0 in Allentown, indicating that this particular occupation's local and national employment shares were similar.
These statistics are from the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey, a federal-state cooperative program between BLS and State Workforce Agencies, in this case, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.
Area Changes to the May 2018 Occupational Employment Statistics (OES)
OES continues to publish data for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas that cover the full geography of the United States. However, the level of detail available has decreased.
OES no longer publishes data for metropolitan divisions. Data for the 11 large metropolitan areas that contain divisions are now available at the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or New England City and Town Area (NECTA) level only.
In addition, some smaller nonmetropolitan areas have been combined to form larger nonmetropolitan areas. The May 2018 OES estimates contain data for 134 nonmetropolitan areas, compared with 167 nonmetropolitan areas in the May 2017 estimates.
More information on these changes is available at www.bls.gov/oes/areas_2018.htm.
Implementing the 2018 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) System
The OES program plans to begin implementing the 2018 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system with the May 2019 estimates, to be released by early April of 2020. Because each set of OES estimates is produced by combining three years of survey data, estimates for May 2019 and May 2020 will be based on a combination of survey data collected under the 2010 SOC and data collected under the 2018 SOC, and will use a hybrid of the two classification systems. The May 2021 OES estimates, to be released by early April of 2022, will be the first set of estimates based fully on the 2018 SOC. For more information, please see www.bls.gov/oes/soc_2018.htm.
The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey is a semiannual survey measuring occupational employment and wage rates for wage and salary workers in nonfarm establishments in the United States. The OES data available from BLS include cross-industry occupational employment and wage estimates for the nation; over 580 areas, including states and the District of Columbia, metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), nonmetropolitan areas, and territories; national industry-specific estimates at the NAICS sector, 3-digit, most 4-digit, and selected 5- and 6-digit industry levels; and national estimates by ownership across all industries and for schools and hospitals. OES data are available at www.bls.gov/oes/tables.htm.
The OES survey is a cooperative effort between BLS and State Workforce Agencies (SWAs). BLS funds the survey and provides the procedures and technical support, while the State Workforce Agencies collect most of the data. OES estimates are constructed from a sample of about 1.2 million establishments. Each year, two semiannual panels of approximately 180,000 to 200,000 sampled establishments are contacted, one panel in May and the other in November. Responses are obtained by mail, Internet or other electronic means, email, telephone, or personal visit. The May 2018 estimates are based on responses from six semiannual panels collected over a 3-year period: May 2018, November 2017, May 2017, November 2016, May 2016, and November 2015. The unweighted sample employment of 83 million across all six semiannual panels represents approximately 58 percent of total national employment. The overall national response rate for the six panels, based on the 50 states and the District of Columbia, is 71 percent based on establishments and 68 percent based on weighted sampled employment. The sample in the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Metropolitan Statistical Area included 3,450 establishments with a response rate of 70 percent. For more information about OES concepts and methodology, go to www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_tec.htm.
A value that is statistically different from another does not necessarily mean that the difference has economic or practical significance. Statistical significance is concerned with the ability to make confident statements about a universe based on sample. It is entirely possible that a large difference between two values is not significantly different statistically, while a small difference is, since both the size and heterogeneity of the sample affect the relative error of the data being tested.
The May 2018 OES estimates are based on the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system and the 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Information about the 2010 SOC is available on the BLS website at www.bls.gov/soc and information about the 2017 NAICS is available at www.bls.gov/bls/naics.htm.

Spending time in schools as a leadership and learning coach has been some of the most gratifying work I have done. The best part is the conversations that I get to have with learners, especially at the elementary level. These always leave me invigorated and remind me why I became a teacher many years ago. Then there is the practicality of being able to work with both administrators and teachers at the ground level to improve pedagogy and, in turn, student outcomes. From this lens, I get to truly see the seeds of change germinate into real shifts in practice. It also provides me with an opportunity to reflect on what I see and my take on how the field of education can continue to evolve in ways that better support the needs of all learners.
Case in point. Recently I was conducting learning walks in Edward K. Downing Elementary School with principal Marcos Lopez as part of some broader work in Ector County ISD. As we entered, the lesson was about to conclude. The teacher had the students engaged in a closure activity to demonstrate an understanding of multiplication concepts in math. After the exit tickets were all turned in the teacher had all the students participate in a brain break activity. Each kid was instructed to get up, walk around the room, and find a partner who was not in their pre-assigned seating groups. They were then instructed to compete in several games of rock-paper-scissors with various peers. After some heightened physical activity and fun, the lesson then transitioned to a do-now activity where students completed a science table to review prior learning.
At first, I was enamored by the concept of brain breaks. As a result, I did a little digging into the concept. Numerous studies have found that without breaks students have higher instances of inappropriate classroom behavior. Not only did Elisabeth Trambley (2017) do a fantastic literature review of these, but she also conducted her own research study to determine the impact of brain breaks on behavior. She found that once the breaks were implemented the inappropriate behavior diminished, establishing a functional relationship between breaks and classroom behavior.
The concept of brain breaks got me thinking about a growing trend in education – as kids progress through the K-12 system, there is less and less movement. I have seen this firsthand in schools across the globe. Let's look into this a little more closely. Research reviewed by Elisabeth Trambley, Jacob Sattelmair & John Ratey (2009), and Kristy Ford (2016) all conclude how both recess and physical activity lead to improved learning outcomes. To go even a bit deeper, studies have found that movement improves overall learning as well as test scores, skills, and content knowledge in core subjects such as mathematics and reading fluency as well as increases student interest and motivation (Adams-Blair & Oliver, 2011; Braniff, 2011; Vazou et al., 2012; Erwin, Fedewa, & Ahn, 2013; Browning et al., 2014).
The bottom line is not only is physical education an absolute must in the K-12 curriculum, but schools need to do more to ensure that movement is being integrated into all classes. Need more proof on how important movement is? All one has to do for this is to turn to science. The brain needs regular stimulation to properly function and this can come in the form of exercise or movement. Based on what is now known about the brain, this has been shown to be an effective cognitive strategy to improve memory and retrieval, strengthen learning, and enhance motivation among all learners. The images below help to reinforce this point.
Click HERE to view the research study.
Science and research compel all educators to integrate more movement into the school day. Below is a short list of simple ideas to make this a reality.
Add more recess not just in elementary, but in middle school as well.
Intentionally incorporate activities into each lesson regardless of the age of your students. Build in the time but don't let the activity dictate what you are going to do. You need to read your learners and be flexible to determine the most appropriate activity.
Implement short brain breaks from 30 seconds to 2 minutes in length every 20 minutes, or so that incorporate physical activity. If technology is available utilize GoNoodle, which is very popular as students rotate between stations in a blended learning environment. If not, no sweat. A practical activity can simply be getting students to walk in place or stand up and perform stretching routines.
Ensure every student is enrolled in physical education during the school day.
Don't look at kids moving in class as a break or poor use of instructional time. As research has shown, movement is an essential component of learning. If the goal is to help kids be better learners, then we have to be better at getting them up and moving in school.
When I think back to my days as a learner, the content seemed to be at the forefront of every class. Whether it was disseminated during a lecture in college, through direct instruction in K-12, or at times consumed from a textbook or encyclopedia, it was everywhere. The more I think about it; content was predominately the focus in every class. Day in and day out a repetitive cycle ensued in most classes where my classmates and I were given information and then tasked with demonstrating what we learned, or in a few cases, constructing new knowledge. The bottom line is that I, like many other students at the time, did school and never really questioned the means or process. In the end, it was about passing the test plain and simple.
Now I am not saying that content is not valuable or not needed as a basis to move from low to high-level learning. It goes without saying that a certain amount of content is required like learning letters and numbers to be able to move to different levels of knowledge construction in language arts and mathematics respectively. But let's face it, as learners progress through the system, content, and knowledge for that matter can be easily accessed using a variety of mobile devices. This then begs the question – how relevant is content really in a knowledge-based economy that continues to evolve exponentially thanks to advances in technology?
When reflecting on the last question in the paragraph above, I think about the following quote from Steve Revington, "Content without purpose is only trivia." Learners today are not as compliant or conforming as many of us were back in the day nor should they be. Whether we are talking about authentic or relevant learning, kids inherently want to know what the higher purpose is and who can blame them.
A lesson, project, or activity that is relevant and has purpose allows learners to use both the content and their knowledge to tackle real-world problems that have more than one solution. The shift here is key. Engagement for learning empowers kids to put knowledge to use, not just acquire it for its own sake. Many yearn for and deserve to use content and acquired knowledge to solve complex, real-world problems and create projects, designs, and other works for use in real-world situations.

Being a whiz at trivia might help as a contestant on Jeopardy but has little value in the game of life.

AgroFresh Solutions is an agricultural provider in proprietary technologies for fresh produce. Co.'s products include: The SmartFresh™ Quality System, which regulates the post-harvest ripening effects of ethylene, the naturally occurring plant hormone that triggers ripening in certain fruits and vegetables; Harvista™ technology, which uses in pre-harvest management of pome fruit, such as apples and pears; AdvanStore™ technology, which provides monitoring the condition of produce during storage; the RipeLock™ Quality System, which extends the shelf life of bananas; and LandSpring™, which is a 1-Methylcyclopropene technology targeted to transplanted vegetable seedlings. We show 18 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our AGFS shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute AGFS market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing share price, and the resulting changing AGFS market cap history over the course of time is important for investors interested in comparing AGFS's market cap history versus its peers. Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies, and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of AGFS versus a peer is one thing; comparing AGFS market cap versus a peer is a completely different story. Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares), the market cap for a company like AGFS can fluctuate over the course of history. With this page we aim to empower investors researching AGFS by allowing them to research the AGFS market cap history.

Happy Labor Day! Unfortunately for the Saints DE Will Smith, and LB Jonathan Vilma, they have no upcoming labor to be celebrating for. Will Smith will not be able to return to the field until after the Saints fourth game, meanwhile, Jonathan Vilma is not going to be able to return to football until the 2013 season. The two were hoping to have their suspensions lifted, or at least reduced, but neither had any luck in their attempts to get Roger Goodell to show them mercy. It still remains unclear to the public how involved Vilma and Smith were with bounty program, and many still question Goodell's motive for the harsh suspensions, accusing him of using this to support the NFL's position in their concussion lawsuits to show that they are doing everything they can to keep the players safe.
Regardless of whether or not the suspensions are justified, the fact remains that the suspensions have still been upheld and neither Vilma or Smith can speak with Saints management, nor can they enter their training facilities until their current suspensions are either over, or reduced. Don't count on them being reduces.


Sophomore Anirudh Suri has been selected as one of only 20 undergraduates from the United States and Canada to be honored as a Goldman Sachs Global Leader.
On April 23—24, experts in anthropology, literature, and politics participated in a symposium called"Cultures of Capitalism," sponsored by the John B. Hurford Humanities Center and the Distinguished Visitors Committee.
Two young artists will be featured in a new exhibit at Haverford College. The works of Nicholas Cairns and Michael O'Keefe will be on display at the College's Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery, April 2-May 2, 2004.
The works of an up-and-coming composer and current Haverford student will be performed for the first time at a one-night-only concert, March 27 at 7 p.m. in the Union Building's Macrate Recital Hall.
Thanks to a Fall 2001 Plenary resolution, Haverford formed the Committee for Environmental Responsibility, which has outlined a green plan for the college.
Between March 6-14, four groups of Haverford students traveled to West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, and Indiana as part of Haverford's Housing Outreach Action Program.


After seeing only a handful of the University's dedicated buildings it was plain to see that I was completely wrong in this assumption. Whilst Coventry University does have an extensive and prestigious engineering and computing department at its disposal, it also is host to a wide range of alternative facilities all in the city centre in close proximity to the city's famous cathedral.
For example the 'Tank' (which is the University's media studio) features the latest in video production technology, in addition to a full size professional grade studio suitable for use by those studying Media, Drama, Music Technology and much more. The University further supports its Arts and Humanities students by operating galleries for both students and the general public, notably the 'Glass Box Gallery', which displays students' artwork and photography in a central location everybody can see. I had the opportunity to see a collection of pieces made by students, which included everything from clay sculptures to an animated short film, for the degree show which acts as not only a chance to showcase your skills to your peers, but also to potential employers who attend an individual industry night.
You can learn more about the degree shows in this blog.
As well as this, the University boasts a variety of career-focused facilities, such as full-size replicas of typical housing and a mock hospital ward in the new Science and Health Building, which will be unveiled this year to prepare students for public interactions and real life scenarios they may face in their career. Similarly, the Coventry Law School is home to a realistic courtroom, or 'moot room', for applicants to hone their skills and gain vital experience for use in the workplace if they choose to take their degree further. For those interested in Business there is a fully functioning mock Trading Floor, which allowed the Trading Society to quickly become one of the University's top societies.
I spoke to Kevin, a Business student at Coventry to ask him why he had chosen to study in Coventry. He told me he had travelled from abroad for the quality of teaching, after hearing about it online. He told me he went to speak to his business teacher and he recommended the university highly to him.
I learned that the university's rankings are only increasing too, and it's currently 12th in the Guardian's league table.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Sells 5.7 Million Units Worldwide
February 11, 2009 | By Eric Caoili
More: Console/PC
LucasArts's Star Wars: The Force Unleashed sold 5.7 units worldwide across all platforms since releasing in September, making it the fastest-selling Star Wars game in history.
Several versions of the title were shipped, with LucasArts developing editions for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360; Krome Studios for PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and Wii; n-Space for DS; and Universomo for iPod Touch, iPhone, N-Gage, and other mobiles.
The non-mobile releases immediately established The Force Unleashed as the fastest-selling Star Wars game in history, moving over 1.5 million copies globally in just its first five days of sale.
The title's demo also received a record number of downloads on Xbox 360, with over one million gamers grabbing the trial in just eight days. Likewise, the PlayStation 3 version was the most downloaded game demo for the PlayStation Network.
The Force Unleashed also recently won the second annual Video Game Writing Award from the Writers Guild of America, an award seeking to "encourage storytelling excellence in video games, improve the status of writers, and foster uniform standards within the gaming industry."
The overall Star Wars brand was so successful in 2008, Lucasfilm says its toy and product line experienced its strongest holiday sales in the 31 years since the theatrical debut of the first Star Wars movie, despite the currently challenging retail economy.
According to consumer research firm The NPD Group, the brand's toy retail sales in 2008 exceeded $450 million, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars was the single most popular licensed toy property last year.
The brand is also celebrating the success of 14 different Star Wars titles appearing on the New York Times best seller list (including a Star Wars: The Force Unleashed novelization). The Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon also scored as the most-watched series debut in Cartoon Network's history, and the StarWars.com site saw a 30 percent jump in traffic.

Another open letter to Rob Ford
Posted by MGK Published in Canadian Politics, Politics, The Internets
Dear Mayor Rob Ford:
Recently, Sue Edworthy wrote a thoughtful and friendly letter to you. It was a thoroughly positive letter, given that it was written in response to you skipping out on an executive meeting of city council so that you could go coach football. Ms. Edworthy has, very nicely I might add, suggested that perhaps you would be happier if you made your foundation which helps underprivileged kids play football your life's work, which dovetails neatly with the conflict of interest charges you face for using city resources to solicit donations to said foundation.
She's right. But her letter to you is a classic "mom letter." And this is the thing: you do not deserve positive reinforcement for its own sake at this stage in your life. You are a grown-ass man, in years if nothing else. God knows that, as the privileged son of a wealthy family, growing up and acting like an adult has always been something you treated as sort of an optional extra. And I'm certain that the useless son of a rich and connected family will find no shortage of donors for his nonprofit, because you were lucky enough to be born into a class that can almost always find something for its less talented children to do, and at least you're good at coaching football (by all accounts).
But you aren't a football coach first and foremost, no matter how much you might like coaching football (and I'm sure it is rewarding). You are the fucking Mayor of fucking Toronto. You ran a long and dirty campaign to become Mayor. You spent an extremely large amount of money to become Mayor – most of which, needless to say, was other people's money. Every one of those people should take it as a personal insult when you blow off work – and that is exactly what you were doing.
I'm sure you don't like being Mayor of Toronto any more. I'm quite sure you didn't realize what you were getting into when you decided to run for Mayor; I'm sure you didn't understand what the position entails and in fact am still sure you don't (I strongly suspect you think the entire job consists of taking constituent phonecalls, like you're some really, really well-paid customer service representative). Tough. I don't care. You're the Mayor. Do your fucking job. Don't like it? Well, then, maybe you should quit. Ms. Edworthy was quite right about that: if you don't want to do the job, you could at least have the courtesy to hand it over to someone who won't half-ass it the way you're half-assing it. That's the choice most everybody else has every day: do your job or quit. Most of us just do our jobs even when it's on a day we don't want to be doing them, and for those of us where it becomes unbearable, we quit (and generally we don't have the assurance that you do that someone will come along to make sure there's something for you to do).
But if you're going to remain Mayor (assuming you don't get booted for that conflict of interest violation – and I note that 55 percent of Torontonians have said they would be happy to see you get the boot on a technicality, so please understand you would not win an emergency election), and it certainly seems like you want to keep being Mayor even if you don't like doing the actual job – then you have to do the work. This might seem like a dreadfully obvious thing to say, but apparently you need it said to you, because you are an enormous bawling child of a man. Do the job or go home. You're already quite probably the least effective Mayor in the city's history (and given that we had Mel Lastman in charge less than a decade ago that really says a lot); leaving early won't tarnish your reputation further because there is simply nothing left to tarnish.
Because nobody cares (September 4th, 2015)
My comparison of Michael Coren to a ringworm was edited out (February 13th, 2015)
I can't wait for this election to be over (October 22nd, 2014)
More facts than you can fact a fact at (October 7th, 2014)

The Unstoppable Gravy Express said on September 12th, 2012 at 9:14 am
I have no doubt 55 percent of Toronto wants to see him gone; the question is, how are those 55 percent distributed amongst the city's ridings? Last election, roughly 200% of downtown voted against Ford and he still won. 🙁
Gotta love how he ran on "Cut the gravy train" and now we learn he's hired special advisors on his mayoral staff that do nothing but help run his football team.
Meanwhile, programs that help at-risk youth = "Hug-a-Thug". Programs that help at-risk youth help Ford win football games = essential good work. Blech.
John said on September 12th, 2012 at 10:05 am
, Sue Edworthy wrote a thoughtful and friendly you.
Should that be "letter to you"?

So basically Rob Ford is Bobby Newport from Parks and Rec, minus the good nature, but he actually won the election.

Sort of. Rob Ford ran on vague promises of 'cleaning up City Hall' by eliminating wasteful spending, implying a level of incompetence and/or corruption that he would also fix. Somehow.
Lia said on September 12th, 2012 at 3:57 pm
The funny thing is that the Fords have always been so critical of people they perceive as being lazy or not working hard (union members, protesters, etc) and extol the virtues of hardworking people. Rob may work hard, but not necessarily at his actual job.
Mitchell said on September 12th, 2012 at 6:38 pm
Uh oh, MGK. You've unleashed the monster now. Brother Doug will be along shortly to "come after you," same way he threatened the very female (and, I believe, pregnant) G&M reporter who wrote today's story on Ford's special assistants.
For real, how is it The Daily Show hasn't done a segment yet on these two bozos? There cant be anything in the US that compares to this level of idiocy.
DistantFred said on September 12th, 2012 at 7:21 pm
Mitchell: Well, they also managed to mostly miss Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick racking up 48 felony corruption charges, so it might just be an issue of them focusing on Federal level US politics. (And New York City politics, due to their filming location)
Potomac Ripper said on September 13th, 2012 at 6:11 am
So….not a fan?
MarvinAndroid said on September 13th, 2012 at 8:33 am
Mitchell: You're kidding, right? This isn't even news in the U.S. "I avoided my job as mayor to coach football" is something that'll get you elected in America.
The Crazed Spruce said on September 13th, 2012 at 2:01 pm
Y'know, when I read about Ford blowing off a meeting to coach football, my first thought was, "Oooooooooh, can't wait to see what mightygodking has to say about that." Thanks for not disappointing. 🙂
William Kendall said on September 13th, 2012 at 2:26 pm
The man is a bloody joke. An idiot. A buffoon. He could pass for Mussolini on a bad day. And his dolt of a brother Doug is just as dense.
I never would have thought Toronto could have voted in a mayor who was more of a joke than Mel Lastman. This guy makes Lastman look like the most dignified, refined guy in the room.

We cannot put into words how happy we are with Amigo, our family friendly protection dog. He is an exceptional dog and an amazing addition to our family.
Having never owned a dog we were looking for not only a new pet, but also a dog that would also be able to look after the family if needed. After researching and visiting a few [protection dog] companies we contacted Alaster and the team at K9 Protector. The service they have provided for us has been amazing, from our initial chat over the phone through to purchasing Amigo and visiting him at the training center, we instantly knew K9 Protector were the company my family and me would use. Both Alaster and his team were experts in their field and left no doubt in our minds that we would purchase our dog from them.
Our requirements were a dog, which could fit into a very busy lifestyle, a dog that we could be confident about its temperament around our children and in busy environments and Alaster delivered much more with our dog. Our first meeting with K9 Protector and their dogs gave us confidence that they understood our requirements and matched us to with the perfect dog.
Prior to the handover we visited the kennels a few times in order for the children and ourselves to build confidence in what we were investing in. The day of the handover was amazing we spent 2 days hands on with our new dog with Alaster and his team overseeing and guiding us.
Amigo has fitted into our hectic lifestyle showing love to all members of our family. He is the ultimate dog, obedient, friendly and loving, the support we have received from K9 Protector has been amazing. We are extremely happy and have no hesitation in recommending family and friends.
Having previously never owned a dog Alaster's guidance, support and training process gave us the confidence to proceed with our handsome boy.


Been very busy with all the deadlines and stuff. Last week, I was in Northern Luzon backpacking with Magnus, my friend from Stockholm. Promise I will resume with my normal blogging operations this week. So expect several entries from me.
In the meantime, I wish everybody a fabulous New Year!


A government program is training 500 university teachers and 5,000 students in artificial intelligence (AI).
The program organized by the Ministry of Education, Peking University and Innovation Works (a Beijing incubator) will continue for five years.
Last year, China's cabinet issued an AI development outline, stressing the need to train AI talent and attract the world's leading professionals to China.
The new program targets teachers and students alike. They will participate in training sessions and camps. Teachers of the course include American computer scientist John E. Hopcroft, a recipient of A.M. Turing Award and Kai-Fu Lee, venture capitalist and head of the Innovation Works research unit.
The program will train 100 teachers and 300 students this year.
Peking University vice principal Tian Gang said the school expects the program to become a model that can be expanded in universities across China.


26 फेब्रु Manache shlok was written by Samarth Ramdas. These are verses. This is a part 1 of 21 part series, with explanation, rather interpretation. 16 Sep Manache Shlok teaches your mind to change yourself gradually. The great saint Samartha Ramdas teaches us to have dialogue with our own.
Let us destroy jealousy in our mind. We are nursing our body with great care but death may destroy it any moment.
He who looks at him is merged with him. Let us have attachment for Lord Rama.
Shloka 5 Let us say no to anger which makes us feel sorry. We are not capable to renounce our ego. We should not indulge in petty quarrels for the sake of benefit.
We should always have knowledge manache shlok meaning our manache shlok meaning self in our mind. That does not mean that he is not there. If we dont do this then we will feel sad in the future. This path will lead us to Shri Hari. We shook speak the truth. Shloka 17 We should always long for Lord Rama.
Let us always understand others. Lord Rama is fondly remembered by Shiv and Parvati.
With the last morcel he eats a fly. The gist of the manache shlok meaning is good action. We cannot see the truth. Let us find out with the full devotion of mind. We should not concieve anything without base.
One should respectfully abide by the good qualities. Constantly changing the state of mind results in agony. Manache shlok meaning appears that it is beyond our power to understand Lord Rama. They do not acquire any merit through their actions. Manache shlok by Swami Ramdas IV. Now we will explore the way to reach Lord Rama which is considered as infinite. Let us understand our true self. Let our mind have love and care for manache shlok meaning.
Such people raise their ego and undergo all manache shlok meaning. Let us hold Lord Rama in our mind always. Let us avoid actions that will lead to incurring sin. Our conscious should not be at the level of our body. Manache shlok meaning cannot see the mezning due to the ego we have. Let us have association with good people.
God takes care of this world. While speaking let our mind dwell on the truth. Let all darkness be dispelled. Let us reach out to Lord Manache shlok meaning by adhering to the path he has shown. He should not be meeaning what we have said earlier. Let us not speak without knowing the truth. Let us not get involved.
Waiting to be Unborn. Let us bear the evil words spoken to us. The eternal spirit cannot be experienced by him who has ego.
