ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Lyoto Machida took a split decision over Dan Henderson in the co-main event at UFC 157 on Saturday. The judges saw it 29-28, 28-29, 29-28 for Machida.

Machida was elusive as usual in the first round, but Henderson was able to sneak in and land a few kicks and punches. At the end of the round, Machida took Henderson down with a leg trip and landed strikes.

The second round showed Machida still being elusive and keeping his distance from Henderson. Machida tried for a front kick several times, but couldn't land it. Meanwhile, Henderson couldn't land much.

Henderson is known for his big, overhand punches. Most of the time, when he throws it, it can mean the end of a fight. However, he had trouble getting close enough to Machida for the overhand to work.

In the third round, Machida moved in for a takedown but ended up with Henderson on top. Henderson used elbows from the top, but Machida was able to get out with less than two minutes left in the fight.

Before the fight, UFC president Dana White said that the winner of this bout will get the next title shot. UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will put the title up against Chael Sonnen in April, but the next fight will likely go to Machida.

[Also: Josh Koscheck suffers upset loss]

Machida was once the UFC light heavyweight champion, but lost the title to Rua in 2010. Since then, he has wins over Randy Couture and Ryan Bader, but losses to current champion Jon Jones and Quinton Jackson. It will be his third chance at the light heavyweight title. He won it with a knockout of Rashad Evans in 2009, but lost to Jones in 2011.

Henderson had a long layoff between fights. His last bout was one of the best in MMA history. In November of 2011, Henderson defeated Mauricio Rua in a five-round decision. Since then, Henderson had a fight lined up with Jones in September, but had to pull out at the last minute because of a knee injury. His record falls to 29-9. He's 42 years old, and against Machida, looked slow and old for the first time in his career.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Israeli forces clashed with Palestinian protesters throughout the occupied West Bank on Friday, capping a week of violence amid a hunger strike by four Palestinians in Israeli jails.

Tension and anticipation is rising in the West Bank a month before U.S. President Barack Obama is due to visit Jerusalem and Ramallah, though he has announced no concrete plans to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks stalled for three years.

From the precincts of Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque, both one of Islam's holiest sites and revered by Jews as the site of their Biblical temple, youths threw stones at Israeli police after Friday prayers.

Dozens of Israeli officers briefly entered the politically sensitive compound. Witnesses said officers fired tear gas and threw percussion grenades at the demonstrators as bystanders and elderly worshippers ran for cover.

A police spokesman said no tear gas was fired, but that protesters were throwing firecrackers.

The old city of Hebron, a bitterly contested city in the southern West Bank sown heavily with Israeli settlers, echoed with percussion grenades hurled by Israeli forces at some 1,500 Palestinian protesters.

At a military checkpoint near the northern city of Nablus and outside a military prison in the central West Bank, Israeli forces worked to clear away makeshift roadblocks and fired rubber bullets towards stone-throwing Palestinians.

There were dozens of light injuries from gas inhalation and rubber and aluminum bullets, witnesses said.

Palestinians seek statehood in territories Israel captured in a 1967 war. Peace talks broke down in 2010 over Palestinian objections to Israel expanding settlements on occupied land. Israel has called for resuming the talks without preconditions.

HUNGER STRIKERS IN LIMBO

The status of four hunger-striking Palestinian detainees was in limbo as Israeli civilian courts failed to rule definitively in hearings held for two of them this week, referring their multi-decade sentences back to military courts.

Israel convicted the men of taking part in militant attacks and freed them along with hundreds of other prisoners in a 2011 swap for Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier held in Hamas-ruled Gaza for five years, only to re-arrest them soon afterward.

Lawyers and officials representing the men, who were accused by Israel of violating the terms of their release, say their cases are locked in a legal maze and Palestinian officials hope Egyptian mediation could convince Israel to free them.

"Our prisoners ...(on) hunger strike are engaging in a true battle, a battle of glory against the tyrant," said Ismail Haniyeh, Gaza's Hamas prime minister. "No one of us will forget the prisoners. No one would enjoy being with his children at home as long as those heroes continued to suffer in jails."

The hunger strikers have told representatives of an independent Israeli medical group, Physicians for Human Rights, that they are taking water but refusing medicines and nutrients.

There is little exact information on the health of the strikers, whose on-off hunger strikes have ranged from around 80 to over 200 days, as they have repeatedly refused treatment and been denied regular access to independent doctors.

Israel holds around 4,700 Palestinians in its prison on charges ranging from throwing stones to killing Israelis.

Palestinians widely regard them as heroes of their national struggle against Israel and want them all freed.

Cold weather flips butterflies? migratory path

BUTTERFLY EFFECT

Scientists have pinned down the answer to a long-standing butterfly mystery: what flips monarchs? migratory compasses. A little cold weather may be all that?s needed. Just 24 days in a chilly lab incubator is enough to switch a butterfly?s flight orientation from south to north, researchers report online February 21 in Current Biology.

?It?s pretty doggone cool,? says insect ecologist Orley ?Chip? Taylor of the University of Kansas, who was not involved in the new research. But the finding is also disturbing, he says. ?It suggests that as temperatures warm, monarchs may be in trouble.?

Each fall, in a massive monarch migration, millions of butterflies set off on a journey from their northern range to central Mexico to escape freezing winters. Nestled among Mexico?s Michoac?n mountains, the butterflies cling to tree branches, huddled together in roosts to fend off the cold. ?They sort of snuggle each other,? says study author Steven Reppert of the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. The snuggling creates a cozy microenvironment that buffers high and low temperatures.

HOMEWARD BOUND

Migrating to and overwintering in Mexico is tough work: The long journey strips the black-and-orange monarchs of their vibrant colors and tatters their wings. These old travelers are ?battle worn,? Reppert says. ?But they?re still troopers.? In the spring, when the monarchs begin their voyage back, he says, ?even though their wings are beat up, they fly like crazy ? moving ahead like nobody?s business.? The travel-weary butterflies are strong enough to start the journey north, find food and reproduce. Then their descendents finish the trip home.

Until now, researchers didn?t know what triggered the trek north. They suspected environmental factors such as temperature or changing day length could cue the monarchs. To find out, Reppert?s team studied southward-migrating monarchs captured in the eastern United States. The scientists housed one group of migrants in an incubator for 24 days and turned down the temperature to 4? Celsius during dark ?night? periods and 11? C during light ?day? periods ? the average temperatures in the wintertime butterfly roosts. The team exposed a second group of butterflies to the same temperatures while also simulating the subtle increase in daylight that monarchs see over the winter while in Mexico.

Then the researchers took the two groups outside and tethered them one by one inside a flight simulator ? a white plastic barrel that gauges flight bearings. In both experimental groups, the lab-wintered butterflies flew north. In fact, Reppert says, ?the data were identical.?

Also, southern-migrating monarchs that had been captured in Texas and kept in the lab under fall conditions ? with no pulse of nightly cold temperature ? continued to head south when hooked up to the flight simulator.

?It?s astounding,? says ecologist Karen Oberhauser of the University of Minnesota, who supplied captured butterflies to Reppert?s team. She?s convinced that just 24 days of cold temperature is enough to switch butterflies? flight direction from south to north. But she?s also curious about the effects of day length alone.

Reppert says the direction trigger might be modified by changes in day length, but ?clearly coldness is the main factor.? Next, his team hopes to figure out exactly how the monarchs sense temperature.

Introduction to Real Analysis: An Educational Approach
English | PDF | 262 Pages | 10.1 Mb

An accessible introduction to real analysis and its connection to elementary calculus
Bridging the gap between the development and history of real analysis, Introduction to Real Analysis: An Educational Approach presents a comprehensive introduction to real analysis while also offering a survey of the field. With its balance of historical background, key calculus methods, and hands-on applications, this book provides readers with a solid foundation and fundamental understanding of real analysis.

The book begins with an outline of basic calculus, including a close examination of problems illustrating links and potential difficulties. Next, a fluid introduction to real analysis is presented, guiding readers through the basic topology of real numbers, limits, integration, and a series of functions in natural progression. The book moves on to analysis with more rigorous investigations, and the topology of the line is presented along with a discussion of limits and continuity that includes unusual examples in order to direct readers? thinking beyond intuitive reasoning and on to more complex understanding. The dichotomy of pointwise and uniform convergence is then addressed and is followed by differentiation and integration. Riemann-Stieltjes integrals and the Lebesgue measure are also introduced to broaden the presented perspective. The book concludes with a collection of advanced topics that are connected to elementary calculus, such as modeling with logistic functions, numerical quadrature, Fourier series, and special functions.

Detailed appendices outline key definitions and theorems in elementary calculus and also present additional proofs, projects, and sets in real analysis. Each chapter references historical sources on real analysis while also providing proof-oriented exercises and examples that facilitate the development of computational skills. In addition, an extensive bibliography provides additional resources on the topic.

Introduction to Real Analysis: An Educational Approach is an ideal book for upper- undergraduate and graduate-level real analysis courses in the areas of mathematics and education. It is also a valuable reference for educators in the field of applied mathematics.

Why do I feel like I have psychic abilities?
I feel like I have psychic abilities but I just dont know how to use them. I feel like I need to learn them, this is very hard to explain. Who should I go to get help for this and how can I improve them? No skeptics please. Thanks!

Suggestion by BJ Jackson
I actually practice psychic abilities. Really everyone has them it just takes the practice and patients to control them and use them to your advantage. If you really want a deeper understanding you should check out this website: psipog.net

Suggestion by Shenaynay
I suppose you feel that you have psychic abilities because you are fooling yourself like all the other people that like to imagine that have magical powers.

Now instead of saying ?no skeptics? just go ahead and do something to prove you have the abilities you claim and then no one need be skeptical any more.

Suggestion by advisor
Just keep an open mind unlike the skeptics who cannot stay away even when asked politely.

Give your answer to this question below!

Why is it that people believe women are more open to psychic abilities?
I have heard that women are just naturally more open to their psychic abilities and esp type of things. What makes that so?

Suggestion by ZelosWilder
In general, women have richer fantasy lives. So they?re more willing to believe that they are psychic.

Suggestion by Anonymous
Women are more observant of body language, tone, and movement.

It isn?t that women are ?More Open? to anything, it is just that women are WAY MORE innately aware of things that men are not DESIGNED to notice.

It goes along with the idea of ?Cold Reading?. You ask questions, watch reactions, and then tailor your response to those reactions.

Women exist on more then 1 level? We see the ?Big Stuff? like cars and trees and people? But we have a 2nd level that is even more observant then what we consciously see.

Men are designed to be able to find the deer in the brush?
Women are designed to read the look on their child?s face and understand what they are feeling and, to a lesser extent, what they are thinking.

We are not even really ?Aware? that all this extra analysis is going on? It just happens as instinctually as birds know to fly south?

?Normal? women just go with it and accept it as the natural, biological ability that it is?

People with low self esteem or that crave attention or have no problem screwing money out of gullible people? They are another animal all together?

THEY take ?I knew my best friend was going to call and that my father was going to tell me that something bad had happened? from normal and put such greater meanings on it that they CONVINCE THEMSELVES that they have ?powers?.

Most of these people TRULY THINK they have powers? You hear it all the time even here on Y!A?

?I have the gift and I never ask for money, you don?t know what you are talking about.? Etc.

People that NEED MORE in their lives may turn to religion and say they see Jesus in the wood grain on their bathroom door?

As seen here:

Then others delude themselves that they have magic powers that make them ?Special?.

It all boils down to the NEED to feel special? And be that ?Special? in the eyes of their god or ?Special? as in ?I can see the future and talk to dead people? it is all the same?

A desperate cry for attention.

Suggestion by Bisexual Bullet
I think that psychic abilities are felt through your emotional level of feeling.

Add your own answer in the comments!

What is the difference between hallucinating and psychic ability?
And what I mean by the psychic ability, I mean like seeing the dead or spirits and other stuff like that. You know what I mean? How can you determine if someone is just hallucinating or actually has psychic abilities?

Suggestion by Stacie C
If someone has abilities, they would most likely be very hush hush about it. A good way to find out is to see if the person has done anything that would give them hallucinations. Drugs? Mental Illness? Lack of sleep? History of mental illness in the family?

Suggestion by Tukmyhamster
In my opinion no one has psychic abilities, since such an ability has never been shown to be real when tested under controlled conditions on the other hand I don?t think the majority of people that claim to be psychic are hallucinating either. To me it seems more like wishful thinking, imagining things, and bending the data.

People make a few general guesses, remember the things they get right and mentally discard the things they get wrong so in the end they are left with the idea that they are getting a load of magical messages from the beyond.

There?s plenty of people who claim to be psychics or mediums but watch how they wiggle away when you ask for something to prove what they say.

Suggestion by Richard Fleming
hallucinating usually comes from some form of brain mis-function or something else to cause the brain to hallucinate or the other possibility is the use of different drugs. psychic ability is something that i don?t put much stock in. most people that claim this ability are either seriously deceived or living in a constant state of hallucination.

No, it's not an ode to necrophilia. It is a charming and whimsical movie that goes deeper than anyone would expect about connectedness, trust and a willingness to change.?

I never thought I'd say "this zombie flick is a great date movie," but now I have. As a matter of warning, it should be rated "Z" for brain-eating zombies. Still, a large cross-section of movie lovers will enjoy it, making it a far better choice?February 14th?than that new Diehard (coming out that day! Wah?),?for everyone from girlfriends hanging out and Twihards, to couples who don't mind a bit of edge in their flicks.?

Playing at AMC Hoffman Center 22.?

To all those who have heard or bought into the press about it being a wannabe Twilight clone, I say yes, the Twihards will appreciate it. But it will be even more appreciated by all of us who grew tired of Twilight's whining and negativity (however much it was dressed in sparkle), and those of us who wanted to scream at that mopey sad-sack Edward to suck it up and get an afterlife.

Warm Bodies plays fast and loose with zombie rules

Here, in this movie, the undead are anything but resigned to their plight. ? Warm Bodies has an optimism, unabashed romanticism and earnestness that is perfect for a holiday about love.?It might be too much for the most cynical filmgoers, even with the dried blood and rotting body bits with which it's smeared. ?

Stay far away if you only like your zombies terrifying and the stuff of nightmares. Stay away as well if you are a stickler for the rules of zombie-ism, as you will find Warm Bodies plays a little too fast and loose with those rules.? As yet another mash-up, this time of zombies and coming-of-age romcoms (a "zomcom," if you will) Cinema Siren does believe it adds something worthwhile to both genres.?

The story is about R, a zombie who lets us into his conflicted, less-dead-than-we-think brain, as he trudges with the rest of the rotting pack. He takes a Cupid's bullet to the heart when he sees gun-toting Julie, out with her med-foraging friends, about to become the next zombie Happy Meal. He rescues her and whisks her away to the nick-nack-filled jet airplane this nostalgic zombie packrat calls home, where they share a few sweetly awkward days and nights getting to know each other.?

Actor Nicholas Hoult, as 'R,' is the star

Love spreads like a scarlet pillow? The rest of the movie is them against the world, which includes Julie's protective dad (the underused John Malkovitch), a post-apocalyptic general with a quick trigger finger for all things undead. ?

Aussie ingenue Teresa Palmer, who forever strains against the label of the "blonde Kristen Stewart," does well enough as Julie, the love interest for an undead 20-something who finds he feels more and more alive when she is near.?

R is the star. Actor Nicholas Hoult (About A Boy, X-Men: First Class) is the one who must carry the film on his slumped and shambling frame. He plays a character who feels isolated, misunderstood and trapped inside a shell that belies his inner sweetness.?

Director enhances novel on the big screen

It's probably hard to make friends and make time when you smell like death, speak in grunts and eat human flesh to survive. He works his way through a wide range of emotions, in scenes that require him to play both broadly and with subtlety in quick succession. ?With natural talent, expanding skill and now adult and undeniable good looks, Hoult will catapult himself into position as an "A" actor with his pick of constantly revolving projects. ?

Rob Coddry's "M," R's "BZF," allows the actor to bring his great character acting and perfect timing to the proceedings, and gets big laughs that mean his memorable role might quickly become a fan favorite. He makes impressive use of scant screen time, further perking up the auds with his every arrival.

Director and screenplay writer Jonathan Levine (who made the surprisingly successful cancer dramedy 50/50) makes the depth of the original novel, written by Isaac Marion, translate very well to the screen, keeping and sometimes even enhancing the metaphoric lessons both great and small, which range from tackling racism and bigotry, to youth alienation, to cocooning and isolation in the computer age.?

There is also a literary reference you might already have heard about or figured out that is far more meaningful if you know well the original from which it takes inspiration.

Soundtracks builds emotional atmosphere

The soundtrack proves to be a mix of clever and poignant. Levine allows the music, some of which is made up of cheesy '80s hits you'll never hear the same way again, to be an integral part of the scene. It builds an emotional atmosphere and adds a component that connects with the audience during the extended times where voiceover narration and slowly shuffling zombies might call a screeching halt to the movie's forward movement. The best soundtracks do that.

To be sure, the end of the movie arrives in a swell of sweet that might as well have us all singing Todd Rundgren's "Love Is The Answer," but that's what romcoms do. The difference is this is a zomcom. Either you can abide this funky freaky little film, with its conceits and exposed beating heart or you can't.

I can, and I absolutely loved it. You might find you do, too. One thing's for sure, your significant other is probably not going to be willing to sit through The Walking Dead on Valentine's Day. With Warm Bodies, you get zombies and love, all tied up in a big bloody-caked bow. Make it a Valentine's Day present to yourself. ?
