Linky no worky, RR.
Another CVC ride. Got to the start late, so I had to catch up a little bit. Went down Portrero to PCH, took PCH to Latigo(little bypass near Zuma Beach), went up Latigo, and back to the start. Longer than usual ride, legs were dead by the end.
http://app.strava.com/rides/12753081 |
I met three others at the Malibu Bluffs to ride up Latigo, Mulholland Hwy and PCH. We left at 8 a.m. in thick overcast with arm warmers on. About half way up Latigo we had some sun, but no real heat. Arm warmers came off and never went on again. At the end of Latigo and Kanan Dune we picked up PV0463 and became five riders. I finally got to meet PV0463. Way cool. Nice quiet man and good rider. I hope we can do some more rides together.
We all rode together until we left Leo Carrillo State Beach rest stop. I am not sure how everyone went after that, but PV0463 had a route to get home and two others took a more direct way back. My riding partner and I went on north to Las Posas Road trading off pulls. Las Posas Road was our turn around point. We headed back still trading pulls but with shorter pull times as the wind albeit not a head wind was presenting problems. I started to fade after a short period and suck wheel most of the way back until the SFVBC ride came by. I quickly found myself alone, but only being about 8-10 out no big deal. I successfully make it back to the Malibu Bluffs just after 1 a.m. to find two of our riders still there. Nice and cool all day along the coast which is just what I went there for. I saw many riders out and in many groups too. When riding I wish more would wave back to me though. 63 miles; 4,167 feet
My brother-in-law is Borg and my SO is a Prior of the Ori. I just thought you moderators should know. |
We'd planned to leave at 7:30 for a 2 hr. ride so Mr. RR had plenty of time to get his stuff organized to fly his hang glider on the coast.
I overslept and once we finished breakfast it was 8...so I missed the deadline. We forged on; cleaned the downstairs & 2 of 3 bathrooms, picked half the peaches off the tree, mowed, trimmed and weeded front & back yards, grabbed a sandwich, and he was off with Ms. RR and the dogs, and I was left to...ride my bike! I think it was 98* when I left, and got hotter as I went along, and as I was already behind in hydrating I started feeling the effects about 17 mi. into the ride. I tried denial for a couple more miles but it didn't work. Pulled over into a wee spot of shade for about 5 min., sucked down a Gu, 1/2 a bottle of water, and watched 2 thermals spin up dust 200+ feet, like they were dirt hurricanes. Finished the ride in 101* -- glad I stopped when I did. Took several tall glasses of water to cool me down.
When my feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says, "Damn! She's awake!" If my breasts were any perkier, I'd have to have a Tupperware party. |
Good to put faces to the names I see on the forums. Enjoyed meeting you all in person. Nice ride down Mulholland (why is it that the downhill is so much more enjoyable and fast) and up the coast. I tried to hang with the fast two, but couldn't. Ended up at the Las Posas off-ramp as they started the homeward leg.
Headed up Las Posas to Camarillo for a 50-miler. It was very, very fun. Went out this morning after watching Stage 8. The Canton of Bern is where some of the in-law family live, so watching the riders going through some of that landscape made me wish I were there. Got a flat 20 miles in, with lots of water to battle the heat. Mark, I'm with you. Not enough people wave anymore. And some pass so close that almost rub the bar tape...without a hint of an 'on-your-left' warning. |
Rock Store climb, 3rd weekend in a row I've lowered the PR! Down to 16:45 on the Strava Actual Climb segment. I've been riding more this year and it must be making a difference.
90 degrees out there. lots of traffic, especially on Mulholland and Kanan. Everyone is heading to the beach...I surfed there yesterday and it was packed. 26 miles completing a skewed out and back.

Wheel Sucker Extraordinaire
I left my house at about 6:30 a.m. with another SoCal Rider to beat the heat and get in some easy miles before we would meet our other cycling friends in Montrose for coffee. Riding the streets on an early Sunday morning is the hot ticket. Minimal traffic, cool and fairly quiet.
I rolled into the Montrose Coffee Bean at mile 47 to see 10 already seated and enjoying the morning coffee. It was great to see everyone together and a couple of SoCal RiderS ladies I have not seen in a while. Good times. We all left together for an easy social ride back when one of the gals broke a spoke on the rear wheel. No issues other than taping the broken spoke to a good one and opening up the brakes to make it all workable. It was hot out but we have a breeze here today which makes it feel okay. I rolled into the driveway just before 1 p.m. to the greetings of the SO and my two dogs, one of which who had been playing in the water from the garden hose. She loves to bite at the water spraying out, but wet dogs smell. Shell does not care I tell you. 64.8 miles; 2,768 feet
My brother-in-law is Borg and my SO is a Prior of the Ori. I just thought you moderators should know. |
Another hot day for a bike ride. Even though we left 2 hrs. earlier than yesterday, it was still in the 90s and, well, ugh. Just no snap in the legs...probably should've taken the day off, but Mr. RR really wanted to get the tandem out, and I pretended I could hammer with him.
OTOH, any day we can get out on the bike together is a win, another opportunity to share some fun on two wheels.
When my feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says, "Damn! She's awake!" If my breasts were any perkier, I'd have to have a Tupperware party. |
I have a lot of work to do to get to your level. The heat does not help. And the crotch rockets 'pinching' me right on the steepest part of some of the turns scare the bejezus out of me. Got to keep trying, though. |

The Craft Lake City DIY Festival was formed in 2009 by Angela H. Brown, editor and publisher of (Salt Lake UnderGround), as a way to showcase local DIY (do it yourself) culture. We've prided ourselves on the mission of helping educate, promote and inspire local artisans, while elevating the creative culture of Utah as a whole. Through our workshops, fundraisers and other gallery showings, our organization has brought a newfound awareness of local crafts to the community, utilizing technology and art to elevate the DIY culture and the "buy local" sensibility that has helped Utah thrive over the years.
The first Craft Lake City festival was held in Salt Lake City at the Gallivan Center on August 8, 2009. It featured over 65 crafters and artists specializing in items such as silk-screened posters, reconstructed clothing, knitted items and jewelry, along with live entertainment provided by local Salt Lake bands, and boasted 3,000 attendees. Since then, Craft Lake has expanded to become the state's largest, local-centric DIY arts festival, with over 200 local artisans, two stages for musical and dance performances, and local food vendors, hosting over 40,000 attendees and expanding to two days in 2013.
In Dec. 2011, Craft Lake City applied for and received 501-C3 non-profit status, which has developed the festival into its own organization, and granted it more opportunities to enhance Utah's DIY arts culture. Craft Lake City also broadened its definition of "craft" in 2012 to encompass all things handmade, including craft food and DIY engineers (electronic makers). The festival now hosts monthly events that include workshops, gallery shows, DIY gatherings, fundraisers and collaborative projects with like-minded organizations such as the Salt Lake Film Festival, the Utah Art Alliance and The Temporary Museum of Permanent Change.
The 2015 Craft Lake City DIY Festival will be held at the Gallivan Center, 239 S. Main Street, on Aug. 7 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and on Aug. 8 from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Absolutely do not copy anything from my bio without my permission.
Real Name: Creer Hernandez
Hair: White/Black (Variable)
Age: 2,500
Eyes: Variable
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 189 lbs (Pounds)
Place Of Birth: Barcelona, Spain
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Group Affiliation: None
Occupation: Guru, Hero, Philosopher
Aliases: The Enlightened One, Elemental Guru, Herald of Nature, Elemental Sage
Marital Status: Single
Perhaps Creer's greatest quality is his undeniable wisdom and humility. Having lived for at two thousand five hundred years, Creer has a vast amount of experience and knowledge. Creer usually acts as a source of sage-like wisdom for travelers and his advice is known for being particularly helpful. He is also an easygoing spirit and stresses living life to the fullest, stating that every moment is crucial. Creer is also quite fond of discussing philosophy with others, interestingly enough, he shuns science and believes that human nature cannot be explained by science and some level of metaphysics is required. Creer's wisdom stems from his age as well as having reached enlightenment during deep meditation when he briefly glimpsed beyond the observable universe. Despite possessing the powers to manipulate the elements, Creer is not an ambitious person due to his understanding that there are things in life beyond one's control. As a result of his age and experience, Creer is also a humble man. He doesn't hesitate to praise an enemy's skill or ability but he is a reassured person, knowing the consequences of his choices. Creer also strongly believes that a person is always responsible for aspects of their life that can be controlled and therefore, he believes that every single person possesses the ability to direct their own destiny. The Elemental Guru's sense of spirituality came as a result of his brief glimpse into the world beyond the observable universe. One interesting aspect of his personality is his nigh-pacifism. Having experienced the horrors of war in the past, Creer became a pacifist in a sense. As a result of this, Creer hardly if ever engages in battle and almost always chooses to retreat or trick his opponents with his wit and cleverness. But with age also came a sense of realism, whenever Creer realizes that he is in true mortal danger, he will resort to using his abilities to briefly hold off the threat and when the opportunity arises, Creer will retreat. The Herald of Nature is also very respectful of others but does not take kindly when he feels that he has been disrespected himself. A man in control of his emotions, Creer cannot be angered easily nor can he be saddened easily, but he does not hesitate to warn enemies when his anger boils which is extremely rare. His calmness and spiritual tranquility is so prominent that Creer views vengeance as foolish and unneeded which has made him very unlikely to hold grudges. The Elemental Sage puts a lot of emphasis on keeping a composed mind in all situations. Creer's meditation has also detached him from the world in the sense that he has obtained some sort of spiritual awareness and does not harbor any inner conflict. His age and wisdom have made him realize that there is very little to fear in the world. Although Creer does fear the spiritual balance in existence shattering as a result of some massive unnatural event. Many have noted that Creer gives off an aura of serenity and composure. The Enlightened One almost always speaks in a calm and composed voice, always reasonable but firm when proving a point. Creer is also good-humored and tends to use whimsicality to lighten up tense and serious situations. One of the kindest and generous people in the world, Creer believes that there is good in everyone but is not foolish enough to attempt to draw it out from those he deems hopeless. Despite his easygoing nature, Creer was highly perceptive and emotionally intelligent and knowledgeable. One would assume that Creer holds hope in high regard however, he himself has stated that hope is but a distraction from the truth and one must learn to accept the truth in order to succeed. A very strong believer in good, Creer is a just and honorable man with a flawless sense of morality and benevolence. An interesting note is that Creer believes that people who fear death still require a lot of growing to do, stating that death is an illusion and is in truth transcending to another state of existence where one becomes detached from the physical world. Despite being a Spaniard, Creer is against monarchies and supports democracy. And though he does not involve himself too much in the world, he strongly supports socialism and holds some strong political beliefs. An interesting note is that Creer will appear to heroes in situations that he believes will require his brief attention, he may even guide heroes through situations if he feels that the danger is great enough. Those who have encountered Creer in their lifetime describe him as a man of perfect morality and spirituality.
Despite being over two thousand years old, Creer's appearance is that of a healthy and fit sixty year old man. This is because in his early twenties, Creer had devoted his life to intense meditation and eventually he harmonized with nature, channeling the ambient natural energies of the world into himself, thereby granting him unparalleled longevity. This came with a retarded aging process which has greatly slowed down the Elemental Guru's aging to the point that after two thousand five hundred years, he holds the appearance of a fit and active sixty year old man. Creer himself has claimed that when he was one thousand two hundred and fifty years old, he was physically thirty years old. Aside from that, Creer has white hair as a result of his old age. Creer's snow white hair is quite long and surpasses shoulder length. Another prominent physical characteristic of his is his long white beard. One the top of his head, Creer wears a gold headpiece shaped like fire, representing his favorite of the elements. Creer is usually seen with a composed facial expression with an air of serenity to him. He has never been seen with an angered facial expression however, he does at times put on an intense and serious expression when warning people. Creer wears red robes accompanied by a few cloaks at times. An interesting physical alteration that occurs is when he is channeling the ambient energies of nature for the purposes of manipulating the elements of fire, water, earth, air and lightning. This physical alteration is quite frightening for those witnessing it. Creer'e eyes become devoid of pupils and irises and glow a blue or white energy whenever he activates his ability to manipulate the elements. Whenever Creer uses his teleportation abilities, his eyes also glow for some reason. His appearance is also altered when he uses his astral form to traverse the spiritual world, his body gains a blue tint and glow as well as his eyes. With his powers, Creer can also take on a more youthful appearance by using the energies of nature to enhance his physicality. In his more youthful appearance, Creer takes the appearance of a forty year old version of himself. This is the appearance that he usually takes when interacting with others. His elderly appearance is only shown when he is in combat which is rare. However, at times he may choose to maintain his more youthful appearance in combat, although it limits his power.
A Long Life
Powers & Abilities
Conexion Espiritual:
This is Creer's mysterious connection to nature and the world. After spending years meditating on a hill, Creer was immersed in the waters of his spiritual side. This eventually lead him to enlightenment. However, the occurrence was more than that. Having dedicated years of his life to the pursuit of spiritual evolution, the Elemental Guru was awarded a glimpse into the world beyond the physical and observable universe by mysterious abstract beings. This resulted in Creer's eyes baring witness to things that few mortals eyes could comprehend. Creer himself has stated that any unprepared person would have been driven mad by seeing what he calls "The Truth". After having reached enlightenment, Creer became one with nature and developed an eternal bond with nature itself. This bond grew to become so strong that Creer could channel the ambient natural energies of the world into his body for at first great longevity. Over the years, Creer's connection to nature improved and he eventually established a connection to the spiritual realm itself. Once the connection became strong enough, Creer's connection with nature and the spiritual realm enabled him to involuntarily tap into it's energies to give himself a more youthful appearance. Being two thousand five hundred years old, Creer is incredibly old however, once he had established a permanent link with nature, his aging slowed down immensely and at over two thousand years old he appeared to be no older than sixty years old. However, once he established a permanent link with the spiritual realm due to further meditation, Creer's aging slowed down even further and he can even tap into the ambient energies of the spiritual realm to give him the appearance of a forty year old version of himself, this appearance can be permanent depending on Creer's wishes. But this comes with a price. Giving himself a more youthful appearance limits his power as his vessel is not "old enough" to house the mystical energies of wisdom that comes with age. Creer can choose to retain his true appearance which is that of a sixty year old man, this is when his power is no longer limited. A common misconception is that Conexion Espiritual grants Creer immortality, it merely grants him longevity. Creer himself has stated that he would be distraught if he were immortal. In his own words, "Death is what makes life precious. Without it, life would be meaningless. Therefore immortality is meaningless". The most powerful abilities that Conexion Espiritual grants Creer is elemental manipulation. Other abilities include astral projection for him to travel into the spiritual realm which turns him intangible and immune to physical attacks but unable to attack others. The Elemental Guru is also capable of instantly teleporting to other locations by taking his astral form which allows him to teleport to any given location in the natural world. He usually uses this when he wishes to retreat from battle.
Elemental Manipulation:
Another supernatural power that comes with Conexion Espiritual is the ability to command all five elements of nature: the tranquil water, the free air, the wild fire, the heavy earth, and the deadly lightning. After harmonizing with nature, Creer established a spiritual connection with the world and nature enabling him to tap into the ambient energies in his environment. These energies allow him to take command of the elements of nature. The Elemental Sage's favorite element to control is fire. Having a natural affinity with the element, Creer does not view it as destructive and wild like many do, although he understands that the power of fire can be alluring and destructive. However, Creer embraces the beauty and life giving qualities of fire instead, believing that fire represents life and energy much like the Sun. With countless years of experience and skill, Creer has mastered his fire manipulation and aside from orange fire, he can use blue, red and white fire. Having developed two styles for manipulating fire so that he causes very little destruction. The first style puts a good deal of emphasis on fluid and internal movements that are designed to dodge and parry attacks as well as cause little collateral damage, focusing only on the target. This style focuses on concentrated waves and streams of fire, especially whips of fire. However, Creer has stated that he can manipulate fire without the need of a fighting style so that he may utilize it's destructive force. His second style is a conservative one, focusing on precision, self-control and patience. His second style focuses on creating colossal walls of fire and massive blasts. Creer's second style puts incredible focus on control as Creer at times creates large walls or barriers of fire to block powerful attacks that may do him harm. The walls he creates are very powerful and can be used to smash opponents against another fire wall, while burning them as well. Creer is even capable of creating tidal waves of fire. He is capable of taking flight by projecting fire beneath his feet like jets. Due to his age and experience, Creer is a master fire manipulator and can even manipulate the heat of other's flames. Creer's manipulation of fire so vast that he can even activate dormant volcanoes and manipulate lava. It is unknown how hot his flames are although Creer claims that it is like having the Sun in the palm of your hands. A master earth manipulator as well, Creer can create massive walls and even generate earthquakes with his powers. Perhaps his greatest earth manipulating feat was when he split a large island in two. His second favored element is water. With water, Creer tends to use fluid and dance-like movements for manipulation, claiming that one must move with the water. He has shown the ability to create large tsunamis, manipulate even snow and ice. A dangerous ability that he discovered was that he could remove the moisture from an opponent's body, but only when they are weakened or completely stationary. Creer can also manipulate air as well, and has been shown generating massive tornadoes and air currents. For defensive purposes he created protective spherical barriers of air. The element that he uses the least is lightning simply because it is the most dangerous. Creer has described lightning as the most difficult element that he mastered. Capable of creating lightning storms, shooting bolts of lightning and more, he is truly a master elemental manipulator.
Skills & Talents:
Vast Knowledge and Experience:
Being thousands of years old, Creer has amassed a vast amount of knowledge about the world. Knowing about countless cultures etc. Creer can be described as a living history book, having lived through countless important events in history. His knowledge also extends to the spiritual world as well since he is one of the few humans who has ever glimpsed and traveled to the spiritual world. His age has also granted him great experience, having lived through countless wars and events, Creer has experienced just about everything there is for a human to experience.
Enlightenment & Wisdom:
Due to his intense meditation, Creer has achieved spiritual and mental enlightenment. This came with a vast amount of wisdom as well.
Human Body:
Creer is not superhumanly durable nor is he incredibly fast or strong. Like any other human being, he can be killed and harmed by the likes of bullets.
Pacifistic Nature:
Though not a true pacifist, Creer is dangerously close to being one having experienced the horrors of war. He hardly ever attempts to do battle and will usually distract opponents so that he can retreat. He prefers to solve his problems by talking them over. He will however, defend himself, he simply will not harm others most of the time.

What can I do if I'm pregnant and don't have health insurance?
I just found out that I'm 11 weeks pregnant. This was very unexpected. I'm unemployed and don't have health insurance. My boyfriend has a good job, and I could be insured through his employer if we got married -- but he doesn't want to get married just because of the baby. (We have a few friends who've done this and their marriages haven't lasted.) How can I get through pregnancy without insurance? Is there anything I can do?

Check with your state's dept of social services... I know that MO and IL have great plans to help out uninsured moms... like medicaid... do some internet searching and I'm sure you'll find your state'sposted 01/25/2005 by mommy2kadin
If you are unemployed and pregnant you can most likely depending on what state your in get state insurance which is free. It would cover just about all cost.posted 04/07/2011 by Mneumann

what do i do since I am pregnant with no health insuranceposted 02/17/2011 by jlang9713
WHY do people keep suggesting Medicaid when she just said she doesn't qualify. I don't qualify either and it's getting annoying reading all these posts suggesting Medicaid just to get to an answer that MIGHT help me.posted 02/15/2011 by saramizzou77
you arent married, and you are unemployed- that means you qualify for medicaide. You should apply for it..posted 01/18/2008 by skinamonn
i was not interested in getting medicaid or any state help so i found this company and every pregnant woman should know about it if you dont have insurance or never have go to www.homelandhealthcare.com and they will give you insurance to cover everything no waiting period and no copay and also after the baby is born you get 6 months of well care for the babys health checkups and it does not matter how may months you are or how far along you are best choice i ever foundposted 08/02/2010 by classysadie43
Baby0622, where in Ohio do you live? I also live in Ohio, in the Cincinnati area and have no health insurance. I make too much to get Medicaid. I'll have to call down to the hospitals around here to see if they have something like that.posted 11/22/2010 by antsmarching819
I feel like most of these responses aren't accurate. It seems that most of you people didn't read Shanna's question clearly. Her boyfriend is still in the picture, but doesn't want to get married just because they are having a child. I am in the same situation. My boyfriend doesn't want to get married either and I am 4 months pregnant. That's ok because it sounds like Shanna's boyfriend plans on being in the picture, just not ready to get married yet. Regarding no job and medical insurance. I would search the internet for programs specifically designed for your case. As an example, there is something in Connecticut called the "Husky Plan" that will cover you and the unborn child for medical expenses. Also, some hospitals will let you pay on a sliding scale if you have no insurance. I would search around a bit and i'm sure you will find something. Good luck with everything!posted 08/25/2005 by tashastar08

ANTONIO AGUILAR: U.S. has tried appeasement; it doesn't work
In the aftermath of the Boston terror attack, we are already seeing the blame game begin with the No. 1 target of the blame being the victim: us. According to the accusers, it is American foreign policy that caused the attacks — not directly, of course, but by giving people a "valid" reason to hate us.
This is the same old story that we've been hearing for years from the anti-war crowd: American foreign policy, American "imperialism" has given the rest of the world reason to hate us and provided the motivation for terror attacks. If we simply change our foreign policy to what essentially amounts to appeasement, then we will be liked and loved and no one will attack us.
This argument flies in the face of both reason and historical fact and is based on nothing but wishful thinking.
Before the Barbary Wars, America followed this policy with the radical Muslims of North Africa: paying a vast amount of money to keep them from raiding American shipping. Despite this appeasement the raiding continued until eventually Congress authorized military action against the Barbary pirates, which included landing Marines and sacking Tripoli.
Remember also that in the 1990s America did not react favorably at all to Russia's wars with Chechnya and yet the terrorists in Boston, who were Chechen, still hated us anyway.
Simply put, appeasement does not work. Be it in nature, crime-ridden streets or foreign policy. Showing fear to an aggressor always invites more aggression.
History shows this time and time again, from the example of the Barbary Wars to World War II, about which Martin Niemoller lamented "... When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I wasn't a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out."
America and much of the rest of the world ignored Germany's aggression, too, until it was almost too late.
While on active duty in the Army I spent two and a half years in Iraq. I interacted with Iraqis on a daily basis and I have seen radicals murder men, women and children over slights as simple as following different imams. I saw that what might seem as minor slights to us in our culture might not seem so minor to others, to radicals.
The United States is an infant on the grand scale of history compared to the ancient cultures of the Middle East, and to some over there the Crusades aren't such ancient history, not to mention Western support for the formation of Israel.
How then can we expect the perceived slights of the current war to simply be forgotten by changing our foreign policy? The hatred that we face was already there, and will be there in the next generation and the generation after, regardless of whether we adopt a policy of appeasement or continue with our efforts to flush out and destroy terrorists wherever they may be.
I am not saying that there is no place for peaceful diplomacy in the world Far from it. I know all too well how horrible war can be. Both from moral and from practical standpoints, diplomacy should always be a favorite option.
In an ever-changing world, foreign policy should be subject to change, as well. But we must recognize that no amount of diplomacy will ever work if we do not have both the force and the will to use it to back that diplomacy up.
As Robert Heinlein so eloquently put it, "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms."
Antonio Aguilar lives in San Angelo.

Pools boss Turner blasts referee
A ball sent across the penalty area appeared to strike home defender Evan Horwood on the arm but referee Andy Taylor saw nothing wrong and Carlisle held on to inflict a third straight defeat on Pools. After Tuesday's League One clash at Brunton Park, Turner said: "It was an obvious penalty - more obvious then Thierry Henry's handball. But that is typical of what is going against us at the moment." He added: "We got the start we wanted but we didn't play as well as we can. I haven't seen conditions like that for a long time."

Division-by-division rankings
Originally Published: June 9, 2005
Dan Rafael | ESPN.com
Check out my rankings within each boxing division by clicking on the links below. The rankings will be updated on the second Thursday of each month.
Who is the world's best fighter, regardless of weight class? See my pound-for-pound rankings.
Note: Results through June 8:
1. Vitali Klitschko (35-2) He rarely fights, he's often injured and now he's making noise about ducking a worthwhile mandatory against the Hasim Rahman-Monte Barrett winner. The big guy is trying our patience. Next: Sept. 24 vs. TBA 2. Chris Byrd (38-2-1) Was supposed to defend belt against Sergei Liakhovich on Don King's Aug. 13 pay-per-view card, but the fight is in limbo because he might have to fight a mandatory instead. Typical sanctioning organization nonsense. Next: TBA 3. James Toney (68-4-2) Disgraced steroid-user was stripped of belt and is serving a 90-day suspension for positive drug test that followed fight with John Ruiz. A more severe punishment would be to force him to watch Ruiz fight tapes every day for a year. Next: TBA 4. John Ruiz (41-5-1) Lost title to Toney, but it was handed back to him on a silver platter after Toney's positive drug test. We've heard that Ruiz has a four-leaf clover and rabbit-foot collection that he stores with his wish bones at the end of his leprechaun brother's rainbow. Next:TBA 5. Hasim Rahman (40-5-1) He's supposed to fight Monte Barrett for an interim belt this summer, but he still found time to work for ESPN as an analyst on its coverage of Saturday's Mike Tyson fight. Next: Aug. 13 vs. Barrett 6. Lamon Brewster (32-2) His title-retaining, 53-second, three-knockdown destruction of Andrew Golota on May 21 was impressive and forces us to at least talk about him in the context of major fights. However, next up could be a mandatory vs. Luan Krasniqi. Next: TBA 7. Monte Barrett (31-3) Five years ago, he was knocked down five times in a TKO loss to Wladimir Klitschko. Boy, how times change. He is now on the verge of fighting for an interim title. Next: Aug. 13 vs. Rahman 8. Calvin Brock (25-0) Brock is one of the division's fresh faces (along with Samuel Peter), and he returns from his big April win against Jameel McCline to fight a soft touch on the Arturo Gatti-Floyd Mayweather undercard. Next: June 25 vs. Kenny Craven 9. Samuel Peter (23-0) It's appropriate that the best young knockout artist in the division fights on July 4 weekend, because we expect fireworks in the form of an explosive KO when he headlines on Showtime. Next: July 2 vs. Taurus Sykes 10. Wladimir Klitschko (44-3) Fourth-round TKO of previously undefeated Eliseo Castillo was a solid win for a guy still grappling with confidence issues after shattering defeats to Brewster and Corrie Sanders. Next: TBA |
1. Jean-Marc Mormeck (31-2) Best cruiserweight since Evander Holyfield fights in an unloved division, but he's a unified champion and deserves attention when he fights. Next: TBA 2. Johnny Nelson (44-12-2) British public wants to see him defend against hot young contender Enzo Maccarinelli, who scored a first-round knockout in a stay-busy bout last weekend to make a fight with Nelson possible this fall. Next: TBA 3. Wayne Brathwaite (21-1) He's a crude fighter, but he has the power to change any fight with one shot. He just couldn't find that shot when he lost his title to Mormeck in April. Next: TBA 4. O'Neil Bell (24-1-1) Claimed a vacant belt in highly controversial fashion on May 20 against Dale Brown. He should do the right thing and give Brown an immediate rematch. Next: TBA 5. Dale Brown (33-4-1) Third shot at a title seemed like the charm until the scorecards for his fight with Bell were read. He deserves a rematch, as long as it's not in Florida, where the judging has been horrible lately. Next: TBA 6. Carl Thompson (33-6) Beloved Brit is never in a boring fight; rejuvenated his career with upset knockout of rising star David Haye last fall. Next: TBA 7. Steve Cunningham (17-0) His April victory against Guillermo Jones albeit slightly controversial looks even better now in light of Jones' May knockout of former titlist Kelvin Davis. Next: TBA. 8. Guillermo Jones (32-3-2) Panamanian moves into rankings off eye-opening four-round demolition of former titlist Kelvin Davis. This guy would be a handful for anyone. Next: TBA 9. Virgil Hill (49-5) French promoter Michel Acaries won the purse bid for a vacant title bout between Hill and France-based Russian Valery Brudov (30-0). Don't be deceived by Brudov's record. He's fought a collection of nobodies. Next: TBA vs. Brudov 10. Kelvin Davis (21-2-1) Former titlist finally patched things up with promoter Don King after sitting out for a year in a snit, only to tear a biceps and get waxed by Jones on the Brewster-Golota undercard. Smart move. Next: TBA |
1. Glen Johnson (42-9-2) Is there any doubt that he's the best nine-loss fighter in the world? He can keep that recognition with another victory against Antonio Tarver in their rematch. Next: June 18 vs. Tarver 2. Antonio Tarver (22-3) When he lost to Eric Harding, he knocked him out in the rematch. When he lost to Roy Jones, he knocked him out in the rematch. When he lost to Glen Johnson, he we'll let you know next month. Next: June 18 vs. Johnson 3. Zsolt Erdei (22-0) Technical boxer puts his title up against former belt holder Mehdi Sahnoune in what could be a pretty solid fight. Next: July 2 vs. Medhi Sahnoune 4. Roy Jones Jr. (49-3) He told HBO in a meeting last week that he is coming back and plans to fight this fall. Names being discussed include Bernard Hopkins (if he beats Jermain Taylor), Clinton Woods, Eric Harding or the Johnson-Tarver II winner. Next: TBA 5. Fabrice Tiozzo (47-2) French star's title-retaining sixth-round TKO of former champ Dariusz Michalczewski turned out to be the final fight for Michalczewski, who announced his retirement last week. Next: Sept. 10 vs. Thomas Ulrich 6. Julio Gonzalez (38-2) Former belt holder won a technical decision against Montell Griffin in an eliminator to become the mandatory challenger for Clinton Woods' title. Next: TBA 7. Clinton Woods (37-3-1) Title holder from England is being considered as a potential comeback opponent for Jones, who already beat him in 2002. But Woods has a belt, which is why Jones is interested. Next: TBA 8. Tomasz Adameck (29-0) Polish hero claimed belt that Tarver vacated in a sensational action fight with Paul Briggs one of the bloodiest brawls we've ever seen. Adamek's skills are crude but his heart is a monster. Next: TBA 9. Paul Briggs (23-2) Australian might have lost a majority decision to Adamek on the Brewster-Golota undercard, but he won all-time respect for the heart he displayed in their epic battle. No one who saw it will forget it. Next: TBA 10. Montell Griffin (47-6) Suffered disappointing technical decision loss to Gonzalez in recent elimination bout when an accidental clash of heads cut Gonzalez's right eye and sent the fight to the scorecards. Next: TBA |
1. Joe Calzaghe (39-0) It's taken 39 fights, but finally he'll engage in a truly meaningful fight when he unifies belts with Jeff Lacy this fall but only if Lacy wins an August bout. Next: TBA vs. Jeff Lacy 2. Mikkel Kessler (36-0). Titleholder from Denmark showed he's the real thing this week, scoring an impressive near-shutout in Australia when he surprisingly dominated hometown hero Anthony Mundine. Next: TBA 3. Jeff Lacy (19-0) All that stands between him and a fall date with Calzaghe is dangerous former titlist Robin Reid, but we expect Lacy to take care of his biz. Next: Aug. 6 vs. Robin Reid 4. Markus Beyer (32-2) Titleholder from Germany weighing his options. He could face Cristian Sanavia in a rubber match, Eric Lucas in a rematch or Otis Grant for the first time. Next: Sept. 3 vs. TBA 5. Danny Green (19-2) Australian action fighter returns from disappointing decision loss to Beyer to face an American journeyman. Next: July 3 vs. James Crawford 6. Anthony Mundine (23-3) Despite overwhelming support from the Australian home crowd, he failed (miserably) to regain old title against a dominant Kessler in a surprisingly one-sided affair. Next: TBA 7. Robin Reid (38-4-1) Give former champ from England credit for agreeing to come to Lacy's hometown of St. Petersburg, Fla., for the challenge. It is just Reid's second fight in the U.S. the first since a 1993 six-round preliminary bout in San Antonio. Next: Aug. 6 vs. Lacy 8. Librado Andrade (22-0) Oscar De La Hoya protégé having contractual issues that could keep him idle until the fall. Next: TBA 9. Otis Grant (36-2-1) Canadian contender needs to get past next fight to preserve possible shot at Beyer. Next: June 18 vs. Charles Adamu 10. Scott Pemberton (29-3-1) New England brawler won five in a row since 2002 loss to Charles Brewer, including a pair of exciting wins over Omar Sheika. Next:TBA |
1. Bernard Hopkins (46-2-1) If he gets past Jermain Taylor in defense No. 21, Hopkins might look to go up for a rematch with Roy Jones because his big money rematch with Felix Trinidad was wiped away by Winky Wright's stellar jab. Next: July 16 vs. Taylor 2. Winky Wright (49-3) Former undisputed junior middleweight champ made a spectacular middleweight debut last month, wiping out Trinidad in a shocking shutout. Next: TBA 3. Felix Sturm (23-1) Headlines German promotional company Universum's first card in Croatia when he meets Spaniard Jorge Sendra in an elimination bout. Next: June 18 vs. Sendra 4. Jermain Taylor (23-0) How do you spell win against Hopkins? J-A-B. Simple as that. If Taylor establishes his killer jab, he should win. But that's a big if. Next: July 16 vs. Hopkins 5. Howard Eastman (40-2) The only defeats for Britain's best middleweight are to Hopkins and former titlist William Joppy in a controversial decision. We think Eastman has one more run in him. Next: TBA 6. Oscar De La Hoya (37-4) He's backing off his claim that he's going back to 147 and more likely will wind up back at 154. He's also backing off his insistence that he will fight Sept. 17 and more likely will wind up fighting in November. We hope it's against Ricardo Mayorga. Next: Sept. 17 vs. TBA 7. Felix Trinidad (42-2) After a stunningly horrible performance against Winky Wright, Trinidad said he thought he would retire again. But let's wait for the shock of the loss to wear off a little so he can see what he really wants to do. Next: TBA 8. Kingsley Ikeke (23-1) Looked terrific in scoring a dominant 10th-round TKO of Antwun Echols recently on ESPN2 in an elimination bout that moved him one step closer to a title shot. Next: TBA 9. Sam Soliman (30-7) Hopkins' mandatory has stayed busy sparring with Mikkel Kessler and Kostya Tszyu. But don't hold your breath waiting for him to face Hopkins, who probably would give up a belt before he fought the little-known Soliman. Next: TBA 10. Robert Allen (36-5) He's going on a year of inactivity since losing to Hopkins in their third meeting last June. Next: TBA |
1. Kassim Ouma (21-1-1) Rises to No. 1 with Winky Wright's departure to middleweight. But before Ouma can get a major fight, he needs to take care of mandatory Roman Karmazin, a bout HBO hopes to fit in someplace this summer. Next: TBA vs. Karmazin 2. Daniel Santos (29-2-1) Puerto Rican titleholder recently signed with Don King, who also promotes Ricardo Mayorga, Travis Simms, Alex Garcia and Cory Spinks. That means there are a wealth of potential opponents for him, but Spinks is most likely. Next: TBA 3. Ricardo Mayorga (26-5-1) Former unified welterweight champ probably will face Michele Piccirillo of Italy on King's upcoming pay-per-view card for the title left vacant when Javier Castillejo was stripped. Next: Aug. 13 vs. TBA 4. Travis Simms (24-0) The first time he met Alex Garcia in a 2003 title match, he knocked him out. Can he do it again when they meet in a mandated rematch? Next: TBA vs. Garcia 5. Alex Terra Garcia (29-1) Earned another crack at Simms' title when he stopped Rhoshii Wells in the ninth round of a terrific fight on the May 21 Brewster-Golota undercard. Next: TBA vs. Simms 6. Verno Phillips (38-9-1) His HBO match against comebacking Ike Quartey on the Johnson-Tarver II undercard has potential to be a barnburner. Next: June 18 vs. Quartey 7. Rodney Jones (36-3) Slick boxer won a split decision against Teddy Reid in May on ESPN2 in an elimination bout to move one step closer to a title opportunity. Next: Aug. 26 vs. Kofi Jantuah 8. Javier Castillejo (58-5) Was stripped of belt for refusing to fight bogus mandatory Mayorga in order to fight Fernando Vargas on HBO. Normally, we hate it when a fighter is stripped by one of the cancerous organizations, but in this case Castillejo was as big a joke as the WBC title holder as Mayorga was as his mandatory. Next: Aug. 20 vs. Vargas 9. Fernando Vargas (25-2) He'll still face Castillejo in a 12-rounder this summer, but it won't be for the title like he wanted. Good. It remains a good matchup, but Vargas didn't deserve a title shot at this point. Next: Aug. 20 vs. Castillejo 10. Kofi Jantuah (28-2) He made Ouma work for a decision win in January and could earn another shot when he meets Jones in a final eliminator on ESPN2. Next: Aug. 26 vs. Jones |
1. Zab Judah (33-2) Funny ... despite being the undisputed champion, Judah cannot convince the other big names Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley and Antonio Margarito to schedule a fight with him. Next: TBA 2. Antonio Margarito (32-4) If the Julio Cesar Chavez farewell tour continues this summer or early fall, don't be surprised to see Margarito defending his belt on the card. Next: TBA 3. Cory Spinks (34-3) Manager Kevin Cunningham said Spinks suffered severely in making weight for February rematch with Judah and will now go up to 154 pounds, probably to face Santos. Next: TBA 4. Shane Mosley (40-4) Now that he has successfully returned to 147, the biggest and best fight for him is with Judah. It would be huge. Next: TBA 5. Manuel Gomez (27-10-2) Exciting brawler just keeps plugging along. If by nothing other than attrition, he should eventually get a title fight. Next: TBA 6. Thomas Damgaard (35-0) Undefeated Dane is now the mandatory challenger for Oktay Urkal's European title, a fight planned for Sept. 3 if Damgaard wins his tune-up bout. Next: June 17 vs. TBA 7. Luis Collazo (25-1) It wouldn't be a surprise if he wound up defending his minor belt on King's Aug. 13 pay-per-view card or in September on Showtime. Next: TBA 8. Kermit Cintron (24-1) Probably still licking his wounds from the smackdown he took from Margarito in April, so don't expect to see him back in action until at least the fall. Next: TBA 9. Oktay Urkal (35-3) Skilled boxer whose only losses are to Kostya Tszyu and twice to Vivian Harris moved up from 140 pounds to outpoint Frederic Klose for the European title on May 14. Next: TBA 10. Jose Antonio Rivera (37-4-1) Lost an April slugfest to Collazo and could wind up in a rematch. Another possibility is a move up to 154 pounds. Next: TBA |
1. Ricky Hatton (39-0) Manchester, England's darling imposed his will on Kostya Tszyu, made the long-reigning champion simply quit and shook up the deepest division in boxing. It was a memorable performance, the first of what could be many for this energetic 26-year-old star. Next: TBA 2. Kostya Tszyu (31-2) Although he is 35 and sadly quit after 11 rounds, it shouldn't be forgotten that he pushed Hatton hard in a competitive fight. We wouldn't be surprised if Tszyu retired. If he does, it's been a hell of a run despite a sour end. Next: TBA 3. Arturo "Thunder" Gatti (39-6) OK, we know his fight with Floyd Mayweather is a biggie, but for sheer blood-and-guts excitement, is there a boxing fan alive who wouldn't give up a vital organ to see Gatti vs. Hatton? We shudder at the thought. Next: June 25 vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. 4. Floyd Mayweather Jr. (33-0) Hatton has already taken Tszyu's title. Will Mayweather do the same to Gatti and continue the division's changing of the guard? That's why Gatti-Mayweather is must-see TV. Next: June 25 vs. Gatti 5. Miguel Cotto (23-0) Hatton might have replaced him for the moment as the division's top young gun, but he can make his case when he defends his belt against 2000 Olympic nemesis Muhammad Abdullaev in the main event of HBO's best "Boxing After Dark" card in a long time. Next: Saturday vs. Abdullaev 6. Vivian Harris (25-1-1) In a huge month of junior welterweight action, Harris will have his work cut out for himself to get noticed. He needs a lights-out performance when he defends his belt on the Gatti-Mayweather undercard. Next: June 25 vs. Carlos Maussa 7. Sharmba Mitchell (55-4) Former champ moves up to 147 pounds this weekend when he faces Chris Smith on the Mike Tyson-Kevin McBride Showtime PPV undercard. Next: Saturday vs. Smith 8. Junior Witter (31-1-2) European champ has been chasing countryman Hatton for years. If they ever meet, it could be the biggest all-British showdown since Lennox Lewis fought Frank Bruno in 1993 or the great Nigel Benn-Chris Eubank showdowns of the early 90s. Next: July 9 vs. Andreas Kotelnik 9. DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley (29-4-1) With all the action in this division right now, he's the one guy left out of the party. Next: TBA 10. Muhammad Abdullaev (15-1) 2000 Olympic gold medalist beat Cotto in the opening round of the tournament in Sydney. Now, he's got the opportunity to do it again for a world title. Next: Saturday vs. Cotto |
1. Diego "Chico" Corrales (40-2) Unified champ is still taking bows following his epic, all-time battle with Jose Luis Castillo in May. They both deserve another round of applause. Next: TBA 2. Jose Luis Castillo (52-7-1) He's chomping at the bit for a rematch with Corrales. If it happens, is there a boxing fan alive who wouldn't spend pay-per-view money to watch it? That's why we suspect it will eventually happen. Next: TBA 3. Acelino "Popo" Freitas (36-1) If he wins his fight next month in his native Brazil, he could return to 130 pounds for a fall rematch with titlist Jorge Barrios. Freitas stopped Barrios in the 12th round of a sensational fight in 2003. Next: July 15 vs. TBA 4. Joel Casamayor (31-3) Former 130-pound champ is at the crossroads. If he beats Kid Diamond, he's back in the mix for a major fight. If he loses, he could slip to opponent status. Next: Saturday vs. Almazbek Raiymkulov 5. Juan Diaz (27-0) The fight with Ebo Elder that was canceled because Diaz suffered a cut the week before the April 23 fight date probably won't be rescheduled, because Diaz has a mandatory against an utterly unknown and untested fighter from Thailand named Prawet Singwancha. Next: TBA 6. Julio Diaz (31-3) Former titleholder rebounded from March TKO loss to Castillo when he destroyed Marco Angel Perez in 66 seconds on this week's Tuesday Night Fights. Next: TBA 7. Juan Lazcano (33-3-1) Between losing a decision to Castillo and battling with Golden Boy Promotions, he's been idle for a year. But the problems appear to be behind him and he should be back in the ring this summer. Next: TBA 8. "Kid Diamond" Almazbek Raiymkulov (20-0) Takes big step up when he faces Casamayor in his first fight against a big-name opponent. The winner of this eliminator moves a step closer to a mandatory shot at Juan Diaz. Next: Saturday vs. Casamayor 9. Javier Jauregui (49-11-2) Former titlist faces tough southpaw Ricky Quiles in a title eliminator that should be a very competitive. Next: June 16 vs. Quiles 10. Sirimongkol Singwangcha (48-2) In becoming the mandatory for Corrales, the former 118 and 130 champ looked excellent in scoring two knockdowns en route to a seventh-round TKO of Michael Clark on the Wright-Trinidad undercard last month. Next: TBA |
1. Marco Antonio Barrera (60-4) The big fights are return matches with either Erik Morales or Manny Pacquiao, but while they are involved with each other, Barrera is at least making an attractive (albeit smaller) fight when he unifies belts with Robbie Peden. Next: Sept. 17 vs. Peden 2. Erik Morales (48-2) Before a possible December rematch with Manny Pacquiao, we may get either a rematch with Jesus Chavez or a scrumptious showdown with featherweight champ Juan Manuel Marquez. Next: Sept. 10 vs. TBA 3. Manny Pacquiao (39-3-2) He's supposed to go to trial with former promoter Murad Muhammad this summer, and if Pacquiao wins the case he ought to be ready for a September fight to be tentatively followed by a December rematch with Morales. Next: TBA 4. Jorge Barrios (43-2-1) Supposed to make first title defense on the undercard of Barrera-Peden in the fall. Obviously, an eventual Barrera-Barrios fight makes sense since they are both promoted by Golden Boy. Next: Sept. 17 vs. TBA 5. Jesus Chavez (41-3) Talk about a warrior. After 15 months out with shoulder and knee injuries, he returned without missing a beat to take a split decision from Carlos Hernandez in a sensational action fight that earned him a shot at Barrera. Next: TBA 6. Carlos Hernandez (41-5-1) A split-decision loss to Chavez, one that easily could have been a draw, didn't hurt his standing one bit. He deserves another meaningful bout coming off such a terrific fight. Next: TBA 7. Vicente Mosquera (21-1-1) Let's hope this exciting new titleholder from Panama doesn't disappear for a long stretch after his blazing April victory against Yodsanan Nanthachai. Next: TBA 8. Yodsanan Nanthachai (43-3-1) Probably will take a good, long rest after his impressive 11-year undefeated streak (in which he went 36-0-1) finally came to an end at the hands of Mosquera in April. Next: TBA 9. Robbie Peden (25-2) Australian titleholder's fall unification bout with Barrera has potential to be a slugfest in a year already filled with them. Next: Sept. 17 vs. Barrera 10. Cassius Baloyi (31-1) Fine South African contender has back-to-back wins against countryman and former titleholder Lehlo Ledwaba. Next: TBA |
1. Juan Manuel Marquez (44-2-1) If he can't land a fight at 130 pounds with Erik Morales, we'd love to see him in a unification bout with Scott Harrison, a match that makes sense for both guys. Next: TBA 2. Injin Chi (30-2-1) The first half of 2005 has been loaded with memorable slugfests, and we expect Chi's defense against Rocky Juarez on HBO to continue the great run. Next: Aug. 20 vs. Juarez 3. Scott Harrison (24-2-2) Scotsman went to the hometown of quality challenger Michael Brodie of Manchester, England, and knocked him out with a pulverizing shot to the belly to retain belt in impressive fashion; Brodie announced his retirement afterward. Next: TBA 4. Rocky Juarez (23-0) 2000 U.S. Olympic silver medalist has served his apprenticeship, and now he's stepping into the fire against rugged Chi. It's the kind of match that can either make Juarez a star or ruin him. Next: Aug. 20 vs. Chi 5. Chris John (35-0-1) Indonesian titleholder is a total unknown in the U.S., but he has quality victories against Derrick Gainer, Osamu Sato and Oscar Leon. In negotiations to face Spend Abazi of Denmark. Next: TBA 6. Manuel Medina (64-14) Puerto Rican media reports indicate the former five-time titleholder will move up to 130 to fight an eliminator vs. Jose Miguel Cotto Miguel Cotto's older brother in Puerto Rico. Next: Aug. 20 vs. Cotto 7. Victor Polo (34-5-2) Recent loss to Marquez was his fifth unsuccessful try for a world title. Can he possibly get another one? With the lack of depth in this division it is certainly possible. Next: TBA 8. Derrick Gainer (39-7-1) Whenever you see a horrible fight, just think about this: Is it possibly as bad as enduring a mythical pound-for-pound match between Gainer and Ruiz? Next: TBA 9. Nicky Cook (24-0) He's the European champ and has an undefeated record, both good credentials, but he's fought a pretty low level of opposition. Next: June 16 vs. Dazzo Williams 10. Spend Abazi (31-1) Danish contender isn't a big puncher, but he's been getting the job done, including a solid win against former 122 champ Lehlo Ledwaba last year. Next: June 17 vs. Geoffrey Munica |
1. Oscar Larios (55-3-1) First fight with Wayne McCullough in February was far closer than the crazy scorecards read, so they're going to do it again in what should be another strong action fight. Next: July 16 vs. McCullough 2. Joan Guzman (23-0) Although he's willing to move all the way to 130 for the right fight, "Little Tyson" retained belt with a comfortable unanimous decision against Fernando Beltran Jr. on April 22. Next: TBA 3. Israel Vazquez (38-3) He just scraped by Armando Guerrero last week on a close decision to retain his belt and set up a possible fight with aging (but still popular) former three-division champ Johnny Tapia this summer. Next: TBA 4. Mahyar Monshipour (26-2-2) Julio Zarate, who lost a bantamweight title challenge in February, is moving up to challenge Monshipour. Next: June 25 vs. Julio Zarate 5. Wayne McCullough (27-5) Despite losing a decision to Larios in February, it was a terrific fight and highly competitive, so the "Pocket Rocket" is getting a rematch on the Hopkins-Taylor HBO PPV undercard. Next: July 16 vs. Larios Other contenders: Celestino Caballero, Yoddamrong Sithyodthong |
1. Rafael Marquez (34-3) It wasn't his greatest performance, but he did score a 12th-round knockdown to seal a title-retaining decision against tough-as-nails Ricardo Vargas on the May 28 Julio Cesar Chavez-Ivan Robinson undercard. Next: TBA 2. Hozumi Hasegawa (18-2) We'd like to see a rematch of his shocking upset of long-reigning champ Veerapol Sahaprom just to make sure his close decision win in April wasn't an accident. However, could face Diego Morales the younger brother of Erik Morales in his first defense. Next: TBA 3. Veerapol Sahaprom (47-2-2) Although he's 36 and coming off his first loss since 1996, the fight with Hasegawa was close, and it looks like Sahaprom still has a lot left in the tank. Next: TBA 4. Ratanachai Sor Vorapin (63-8) Although he defeated Cruz Carvajal to win a belt in 2004, he has yet to defend it, instead going 7-0 in non-title bouts. But he's headed to Las Vegas to defend it this summer. Next: July 8 vs. Jose Luis Araiza 5. Silence Mabuza (18-0) Emerging South African star was impressive in outpointing former titlist Carvajal (who tested positive for steroids after the fight) in Las Vegas last month to earn mandatory shot at Marquez. Next: TBA Other contenders: Genaro Garcia, Jhonny Gonzalez, Cruz Carvajal, Toshiaki Nishioka, Wladimir Sidorenko |
1. Martin Castillo (28-1) Heading back to Japan for his second title defense to face southpaw Hideyasu Ishihara, whom he stopped in the 11th round in a May 2004 title eliminator. Next: June 26 vs. Hideyasu Ishihara 2. Fernando Montiel (30-1-1) Defense against Eric Morel on the Hopkins-Taylor undercard has all the makings for a snore-fest. It could get ugly. Next: July 16 vs. Morel 3. Luis Perez (23-1) Aggressive belt holder looked terrific dismantling Luis Bolano in six rounds in April, a performance even more impressive considering Perez hadn't fought for 15 months. Next: TBA 4. Katsushige Kawashima (28-3) Defends against former champ Masamori Tokuyama in a rubber match, with the winner mandated to fight fine American contender Jose Navarro. Next: June 18 vs. Tokuyama. 5. Ivan "Choko" Hernandez (20-1-1) He lost his title when he was beaten every way possible by Montiel in April. The key will be to see if Hernandez, who is only 22, learns from the mistakes he made in that fight. Next: TBA Other contenders: Jose Navarro, Mark Johnson, Masamori Tokuyama, Alexander Munoz, Masamori Tokuyama |
1. Pongsaklek Wonjongkam (56-2) We fully expect his mandatory title defense against Jorge Arce on the Christy Martin-Lucia Rijker undercard to be a fight of the year runner-up candidate (come on, nothing's gonna top Corrales-Castillo). Next: July 30 vs. Arce 2. Jorge Arce (39-3-1) Former 108 champ has already been in one of the year's best fights, his March brawl with Hussein Hussein. Can he go 2-for-2? Next: July 30 vs. Wonjongkam 3. Lorenzo Parra (25-0) Before the end of the year, he'll head to France for a mandatory defense against 2000 French Olympic gold medalist Brahim Asloum. Next: TBA 4. Vic Darchinyan (23-0) Jeff Fenech-trained slugger makes his second title defense against Northern Ireland's Damean Kelly, whose only previous title fight was a seventh-round TKO loss in 2003 to then-champ Irene Pacheco, who later lost his title to Darchinyan. Next: July 27 vs. Kelly 5. Irene Pacheco (28-1) He rarely fought when he was a champion. Now that he's coming off a TKO loss to Darchinyan, the stretches of inactivity could grow even longer. Next: TBA Other contenders: Rosendo Alvarez, Omar Narvaez, Hussein Hussein, Brahim Asloum. |
1. Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon (22-0) Slick 105 champ from Puerto Rico faces former titlist Isaac Bustos of Mexico on the Gatti-Mayweather HBO PPV undercard, the fifth champion or former champion that Calderon will face in his last eight fights. Next: June 25 vs. Bustos 2. Will Grigsby (18-2-1) After long stretches of inactivity and legal problems, he returned to the big stage to school Victor Burgos last month and reclaim the belt he lost to the great Ricardo Lopez in 1999. Next: TBA 3. Roberto "The Spider" Vasquez (19-1) Lost a four-round decision in his 2001 pro debut but now is a world champion after a thrilling 10th-round knockout of formidable Beibis Mendoza in April. Next: TBA 4. Victor Burgos (36-14-3) Lost title and No. 1 position when he was thoroughly outboxed and at times outpunched by Grigsby on the Trinidad-Wright undercard. Planning to move up to 112. Next: TBA 5. Hugo Cazares (20-3-1) Native of Mexico went to Puerto Rico and pulled an upset, claiming a 108 belt with a 10-round technical decision vs. Nelson Dieppa in April. Looking at possible first defense against another Puerto Rican, former titleholder Alex "Nene" Sanchez. Next: TBA Other contenders: Nelson Dieppa, Yutaka Niida, Beibis Mendoza, Eric Ortiz, Muhammad Rachman |

I forged an alliance with Sigma Camera Corporation. They sent me their latest and greatest Sigma DP2 Quattro with a proprietary Foveon sensor which is actually three sensors combined into one. I also purchased their predecessor to the Quattro; the Sigma DP3 Merrill which I also have grown to love. I'm going to write a few blog articles (coming soon!) about these two amazing little cameras from Sigma. About six months ago, I started a petition asking Sigma to create a Micro Four Thirds camera with a Foveon sensor but the DP3 Merrill seems to be satisfying my cravings for Foveon Technology. Without going into more detail, I am posting a few test images here to show you the color and quality of the Foveon technology…

The Marriage Between Micro Four Thirds & iPhonography
Okay… I'm being overwhelmed with technological advances in photography from using an iPhone 4s to capture and post-process landscape images to using the iPhone to edit and print my DSLR and mirror less camera shots… Okay! I'm not going to give up my regular camera equipment anytime soon, but the iPhone apps are causing me to fall in love with photography all over again. It's like a rebirth! So stay tuned. This photoblog is going to undergo a lot of different types of photography. I'm trying to post to Flickr, Instagam, Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Not an easy feat. Also, this image was shot on a micro four thirds camera then edited with photoshop CS5 and then further processed with the frame using Lo-Mob on my iPhone 4s. I'm integrating my computer and iPhone using Dropbox. It's pretty crazy. Photo title: Haunted Hallway -Historic Overland Hotel – Pioche, Nevada.
130 Year Old Condemned Building
This felt quite strange through my viewfinder, almost paranormal? It's the kinda of stuff that draws me in to take pictures. I don't know how to interpret this, it's just a hunch that I get!
Original 19th Century Memorabilia
This is the old west museum in Pioche, Nevada. The town's a strange place full of Nevada ghost stories. There's an old lady in her 80s that used to volunteer at the museum but she had passed away since my last visit to the town, and it was in the museum where she past away while on her shift. If you want to know more facts about Pioche, look through my picture archive, as it is one of my favorite destinations in Southern Nevada.
High Noon At Midnight
Main Street in Pioche, Nevada at midnight. Pioche was one of the wildest mining camps in the west in the late 1800s. It is said that over 76 people were killed in cold blood and shootouts before anyone died of natural causes. It never gained the notoriety of Tombstone or Dodge City because of how isolated and secluded this part of the country was. They say more people died in the violence that ensued in Pioche than the two other towns combined. There are a variety of ghost stories that locals will tell and I can feel the restlessness of whatever is left and still lurking. The history still lives in the presence. So, I try to capture what I feel through my images. There is an intuition at play in my photography and I hope you can see what I am feeling!

More pet owners should take the initiative to thoroughly prepare themselves and their pets for a disaster, whether natural or man-made. I want to focus on developing a product or system that can make the process easier, through which I can raise awareness of the importance of this issue and encourage pet owners to become more engaged.

Hi Nicole, what's the latest? I have been looking for your postings about your pet rescue ideas, but I haven't seen too much...keep the postings coming! steven

Nicole, your mission statement does these things:
It states who your audience is: pet owners. That's a huge and very diverse market, because there are many countries with pet-friendly people and enough disposable income to be able to purchase your product, if the price is low enough.
Demonstrates that your mission is appropriate for the world we live in. We have recently seen heartbreaking scenes of abandonded animals in New Orleans and more recently in Houston, and there is no reason to expect the trend for severe weather to abate.
Explains the human dimension that makes the idea compelling and worth the effort to produce. From reading your Mission Statement, we are ready to believe that your product will not be just another object to consume and then discard.

Reagan Carter was supposed to start at a new school this week. The seventh-grader at Bardstown Middle hoped to escape a group of older girls who had bullied and harassed her online and at school, her parents say. Transferring seemed their only choice to end the harassment after reports to school officials didn't stop the problems. But the night before her last day, Reagan took a handful of pills after she was harassed one last time during a middle school basketball game.


text: 1Centre for Atmospheric Science, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK 2National Centre for Atmospheric Science, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK Abstract. A synthesis of UK based airborne in-situ measurements of aerosol properties representing air masses from North-West Europe and the North-East Atlantic is presented. The major focus of the study is the vertical distribution of sub-micron aerosol chemical composition. Vertical profiles are derived from a Quadrupole Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (Q-AMS). Background sub-micron aerosol vertical profiles are identified and are primarily composed of organic matter and sulphate aerosol. Such background conditions occurred predominantly during periods associated with long-range air mass transport across the Atlantic. These instances may serve as useful model input of aerosol to Western Europe. Increased mass concentration episodes are coincident with European outflow and periods of stagnant/recirculating air masses. Such periods are characterised by significantly enhanced concentrations of nitrate aerosol relative to those of organic matter and sulphate. Periods of enhanced ground level PM2.5 loadings are coincident with instances of high nitrate mass fractions measured on-board the aircraft, indicating that nitrate is a significant contributor to regional pollution episodes. The vertical structure of the sulphate and organic aerosol profiles were shown to be primarily driven by large-scale dynamical processes. The vertical distribution of nitrate is likely determined by both dynamic and thermodynamic processes, with chemical partitioning of gas phase precursors to the particle phase occurring at lower temperatures at the top of the boundary layer. Such effects have profound implications for the aerosol's lifetime and subsequent impacts, highlighting the requirement for accurate representation of the aerosol vertical distribution.

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - A Gwinnett police officer resigned Wednesday following accusations he caused a drunken accident after leaving a Duluth nightclub Saturday.
Already placed on routine leave, James Stoudenmire, 27, quit to avoid termination, police officials said Wednesday. Stoudenmire, a four-year Gwinnett County Police Department veteran, was driving a 2006 Ford Mustang about 1 a.m. Saturday when the vehicle struck a 1999 Mazda 626 stopped at a traffic light on Pleasant Hill Road near Interstate 85, police said. Responding Gwinnett police smelled alcohol on their colleague's breath and charged him with DUI after he failed field sobriety tests, authorities said. Stoudenmire, who was off duty, told police he was coming from Wild Bill's. A passenger in the Mazda was treated at the scene but was not seriously hurt, authorities said. Stoudenmire posted $1,557 bail and was released from jail later Saturday morning. Gwinnett police Chief Charles Walters scorned the officer's alleged actions in a statement Wednesday. "Members of this police department who are involved in incidents which reflect poorly on the department will not be tolerated," Walters said.More like this story
