Ridge mesmerizing in Chamber Theatre's 'Underneath the Lintel'
Midway through his extraordinary solo performance in Glen Berger's "Underneath the Lintel" - being staged by the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre under C. Michael Wright's direction - James Ridge asks the audience whether we'd recognize a miracle if we saw one.
I know I've missed a few - "Lintel" suggests we all have - but I have no doubt I saw something akin to one Friday night, in watching as good a one-person show as I've seen anywhere in a long time. »Read Full Article(2)

Iamgold May Spend as Much as $1 Billion on Gold Acquisitions in AmericasQBy Liezel Hill - Oct 14, 2011 11:39 AM ET .Iamgold Corp. (IMG), a Canadian gold and niobium producer, is looking for acquisitions and may spend as much as $1 billion to add gold assets. The miner will focus its search in the Americas, and will also consider deals in West Africa, spokesman Bob Tait said in an interview yesterday at Iamgold's Toronto headquarters.
Awesome to see they have a billion in loose change. Wonder why they dumped Buckwheat? TZ is in East Africa.http://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/news/-/2558/683114/-/qx4p5kz/-/index.htmlBWAAAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! And Magoo is gonna develop this with a few million? MORE KOOLAID!!!! MORE DENIAL!!!!
More ignorance on your part.
West Africa is where all the action is at. Like bullionairo already said, IAG dumped buckwheat!!! you think they are going to buy TRX? LMAO!!!
No wonder it got pawned off for 3 million.Peter Dalali Kafumu, the Commissioner of Minerals in the Ministry of Energy, said Iamgold informed the government in September this year that it was winding up its activities.This was after realising that there were minimal prospects of gold at the formerly government-owned Buckreef project.Joseph Conway, chief executive officer of Iamgold, has confirmed that since acquiring the Buckreef project, the firm has spent about $15 million and completed over 100,000 metres of drilling.Mr Conway said that, regrettably, the work has not increased the resource base materially, and that preliminary metallurgical studies indicate only low to moderate recoveries from heap leaching.{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{CRICKET SOUNDS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

WAILUKU - Mayor Alan Arakawa stormed out of a Maui County Council Budget and Finance Committee meeting Tuesday afternoon while council members discussed recent cutbacks in landfill hours and trash pickup services.
"I'm leaving . . . You could be talking to me directly to find a solution but obviously you don't want to find a solution," Arakawa told members as he stood up and exited Council Chambers in the middle of the committee's deliberations.
The mayor interrupted Council Member Elle Cochran, leading to a short recess.
Arakawa said in a statement issued shortly after the meeting that he intends to submit a budget amendment today so that the county may restore all trash and landfill reductions. The amendment will include a request for four new positions that were previously denied by the council, said county spokesman Rod Antone.
Tensions between the Arakawa administration and the Maui County Council have been high since the administration announced in July that it would suspend trash pickup services and close all landfills on county holidays and shorten operating hours at all five county landfills. Originally, there was no makeup trash pickup after a holiday, but later makeup collections were scheduled for some customers.
The cutbacks went into effect Aug. 1.
A letter from the department was issued last week to 26,000 residences, department officials said, but council members said that many people still were not aware of the changes.
"This morning as I drove down our street I counted the cans that were sitting outside, almost every other house a cart was sitting on the curb ready for pickup, many were overflowing with covers barely on, stuff sticking out, and already trash beginning to gather on the ground," council Chairwoman Gladys Baisa said at Tuesday's meeting. She and others who testified reported seeing dozens of trash cans waiting along curbs in their neighborhoods where residents did not realize there would be no makeup pickup after the Labor Day holiday Monday.
"We've got a crisis, and we've got to deal with this," Baisa said.
Tuesday's meeting was an attempt to figure out a viable solution to restore the county's trash services, though no resolution had been reached by the end of the meeting Tuesday afternoon.
Arakawa said in the statement that the only way to restore services is for the council to "fund necessary positions so that our landfill operations can remain in compliance with all state and federal regulations, and we can resume holiday trash pickup."
The administration had requested six expansion positions earlier this year, but the council only approved two positions in its budget passed in June. Environmental Management Department officials have maintained that the changes are necessary to address regulatory compliance, safety, engineering and operations issues. They said noncompliance has cost the county $4.5 million since 2006, though only $140,000 in fines have been levied since 2011.
"Fines and penalties are an absolute waste of taxpayer money," said department Director Kyle Ginoza. "To be proactive is something where we give better service to the community, reduce fines and penalties, and have government look better to our people and the community we're trying to serve. Yes, it's just four positions, but it's four vitally important positions."
Still, the department received 99 percent of the funds it had requested in its $30 million operating budget for the current fiscal year, Budget Committee Chairman Mike White said. The four denied positions totaled $140,000, which any department should be able to accommodate, White said.
"Leaders have a responsibility to make decisions that provide for the reallocation of resources," White said. "All they'd have to do is make small adjustments here and there and they'd be able to cover the responsibilities they've done so well in covering for a long time."
He added that the four positions would not have been filled for another four months, yet the administration implemented service cuts within the first month of the fiscal year that began July 1. He said he did not think a budget amendment was needed - certainly not this early on in the fiscal year - and that the cuts are a result of the mayor's politicking.
"This has nothing to do with the budget. This has everything to do with it being campaign season," said White, who is facing a stiff challenge from Mike Molina, a former council member and an Arakawa executive assistant.
"They (the administration) have put out word, 'Blame it on the council. Blame it on the council.' I'm sorry, but I'm not going to accept the blame. The administration made the decision they're going to cut the services. It's not us that initiated the lack of service. It's not us that can fix it. We provide the money. They operate it," White said.
Council Members Riki Hokama and Cochran suggested that a "full-on audit" be conducted of the department. Ginoza said he welcomed the audit, which he said would likely show that the department needs even more positions to remain in compliance with state and federal laws.
Other members just wanted trash services restored as soon as possible.
"It's not a matter of pointing fingers, but how can we make things better and not have the insinuation that this is political warfare," said Council Member Stacy Crivello. "We sometimes lose sight of what's (important). When we say we want to provide core services, it's a shame what we're putting our public through."
Tamara Paltin, who will be facing the mayor in the Nov. 4 general election, offered testimony on the matter at the start of the meeting.
"What's most outrageous to me is that the fiscal year just started July 1, and for the department to come up with a shortfall this early on in the game that they can't cover basic needs is just outrageous," Paltin said. "The real loser is our community. It'll go back to people dumping on the side of the road because why even bother driving to the landfill? It's closed anyway. . . . That's not good for anybody. It's not good for tourism, our environment. . . . I just wish the administration would re-evaluate its priorities."

ST. PAUL, Minn. - The growing campaign to oppose the voter photo ID amendment to Minnesota's state constitution introduced four prominent co-chairs at a news conference June 26. They represented all three of Minnesota's major political parties: Democrat Walter Mondale, former U.S. Vice President, Republican Arne Carlson, a former state governor, and the Independence Party's Tim Penny, a former Democratic U.S. congressman.
Longtime civil rights activist Josie Johnson joined them as co-chairs of the "Our Vote Our Future" coalition.
The Minnesotans' campaign against the voter ID scheme, which the Republican-run state legislature sent to this fall's ballot, is one of many such drives unions and their allies are mounting nationwide against such laws. The Minnesota AFL-CIO is a key part of the state's drive against the voter ID initiative.
So-called "Voter ID" laws are designed by their business and right wing backers to cut turnout by women, minorities, workers, students and the disabled - all foes of the pro-corporate agenda those interests are pushing nationwide.
"Minnesota doesn't have a voter problem," Mondale said. In the 2008 U. S.
Senate and 2010 gubernatorial recounts, he noted, "There wasn't one suggestion,
one hint, one whiff of a problem in the casting and processing of ballots. This constitutional amendment is designed to discourage voting. It's not designed to fix a problem - because there isn't one. "
"Frankly, it terrifies me," said Carlson, denouncing the amendment. "Where does this constitutional amendment come from? A problem? Research? No. It comes from the Koch brothers," he said. The Kochs are right wing oil multi-millionaires bankrolling political campaigns nationwide. "This is an outside force, coming to Minnesota, telling us how our constitution ought to be designed," Carlson added.
"The constitution is about expanding our rights and opportunities, not restricting our rights and opportunities," said Penny. "The implications of this will be fraught with problems and inequities. It's going to pose problems for our military personnel, for seniors, for rural voters, for students."
Carlson noted that the amendment would end Minnesota's same-day voter registration, which enables 500,000 people to vote. Not so long ago, people died in the struggle for the right to vote, civil rights activist Johnson noted. "I urge every Minnesotan to vote no on voter ID on Nov. 6."

PITTSBURGH - Two former staffers testified Monday at a preliminary hearing for state Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin that they felt uncomfortable when they were asked to do political work for her.
Melvin, 56, is accused of illegally using her taxpayer-funded staff when she was still a Superior Court judge to campaign for a seat on the high court in 2003 and again in 2009, when she won her Supreme Court race.
A grand jury found sufficient ground to charge Melvin. A judge was hearing evidence Monday to determine if prosecutors had enough evidence to take the case to trial.

perfect power/size combo

About Me Professional
Comments about Cobra 400 Watt Power Inverter:
I bought this just to run small power tools like my sawzall and 4 1/2" grinder. I've used it quite a bit already and it is very handy. I was able to run my grinder off of my 4 wheeler battery for 10-15 minuets, it barely phased my battery and the fan didn't even turn on in the inverter. I also plugged my 40" samsung led smart tv and sony blueray into it and it ran them perfectly. I like not hearing the fan going all the time as well. It has a Nice balance of power and size and the clamps and cables that came with it were excellent quality. The only thing I would change would be the fuse, it would be nice if it was user servicable.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works great for my mobile office
By Brad
from Oklahoma
About Me Advanced
I run a mobile office including a printer, laptop, and multiple battery chargers and this fits the bill perfectly. It does produce some noise when under a heavy load but it's never shut down while being used.The additional remote switch is nice because the inverter is mounted in a difficult to reach area. It's unfortunate that it's not included with the original purchase.

Connecteto 4 250Watt 12volt solar panels thru a Midnight Solar Classic 150 controller and 4 Vmax AGM solar batteries. I want to know why it won't power my castille pellet stove?

We had the 2575 installed in our rv in December of 2014, we can run most of our appliances with it and with the help of solar panels we don't have to run our generator,except for those cloudy day's. We love having this product. The only issue we have is that we have a voltage meter in our rv that when running the inverter should read around 110 volts but it is showing 140 or higher until you turn something on.

About Me Frequent User
Great product! Have used for 6 hours straight without any issues (never traveled longer than that with it). Worked with a laptop and tablet, laptop and movie player, etc. Had absolutely no issues. There is a little fan mechanism in it that self-regulates to prevent overheating - it can be heard coming on and going off, but it isn't loud or annoying. Just something I noticed.Definitely a great value for what it gave us.... peace and quiet since the kids were occupied with movies, games, tablets, etc!! Devices charged and ran in the car for our long trip without a problem!I leave it in the car all the time with an extra cord in case I need to charge my phone while I'm out -- I drive a hybrid SUV, and for some reason, car phone chargers do not work in my car, so this is a life saver when I need a charge!

Axis of evil
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the incident, which occurred in Lori Oke settlement, a village that is about 10 kilometres from Ogotun town, drew the attention of hundreds of residents and travellers.
The spokesman of the community, Sunday Ogunmeji, who spoke with NAN correspondent on behalf of the Baale (community head), Ganiyu Adetoun, said a pastor, Mr Daniel Odedele, helped to deliver the goat of the baby.
"After watching the goat labour for several hours, the pastor took pity on it and courageously pulled the baby out, only for it to turn out to be human-like.
"The `baby' had all the features of a human being such as human face, head, hair, female genitals, two legs and two arms with hoofs.
"However, the human-like baby died at about noon as a result of lack of care as the crowd merely trooped there to watch rather than to attempt to save its life,'' Ogunmeji said.
A resident, Mr Saidi Oladepo, who is a commercial motorcycle (Okada) operator, told NAN that immediately the goat delivered the `human-like baby', it took to its heels.
He said that as soon as members of the community got wind of the incident, they ran helter-skelter in apparent confusion.
He said alarm was raised and the local security agents, referred to as `Peace Corps', were alerted to the incident.
Oladepo added that it took more than two hours to re-capture the goat in the bush.
The traditional ruler of Ogotun-Ekiti, Oba Samuel Oyebode, could not be reached for comment as he was said to be in a meeting of the Traditional Council. (NAN)
Axis of evil
This is horrible.
That could have been the President's grandson.
or your mother's baby picture
jones u ar stupid my God help us
Obasanjo can sleep with anythig. Another Obasanjo born wrong
Anon, if your father has the half of Obasanjo's brain, he would have been recognised. You are either not well trained or you reject home training
that goat has been the neighborhood ho for years so it was bound to happen
Yorubas do hump goats. shame. Truely it is the axis of evil
The biggest shame is that the Editors of this page published a stupid comment like yours!
That poor goat got muhdikked by 8 bucks
TNB and monkeyshines. Coons over here would hump goats if they were available.
This news tells more about the people of the Ekiti town than about the goat. I can see nothing in the dead baby-goat that looks human. Obviously there was something wrong already, when the delivery didn't come easy. The little carcass is swollen, but that does not make it look like a human baby.
Yoruba pple are disgrace to humanity…From the oyenusis to godogodos..From a rapist Oba to humping goats and cattles.. Useless tribe
See my reply to Peace above. Idiots like you are a shame to your tribe and to the country as a whole!
Fuck u for saying that may thunder blow ur mouth
fuck you motherfucker
only in niggerland
Actually while not impossible it's very unlikely, but if humans or any other animal tries too many times hybrids will emerge, humans themselves can be result of hybridization between chimps and pigs, theres even a large amount of evidence pointing it.
Oh yeah that looks just like a human and not just a retarded goat baby.
Judging by that huge hole on it's ass, I'm thinking they didn't just look at it.
Prepare for "Human rights"-movements developing around such incidents.
"Its love, why cant a man marry his goat! — See they can even get offspring!"
Thanks homosexuals! You certainly needed your "right to marry" and adopt, soon enough we will see more of this here.
(The slipery slope is a counterargument like "You like bread, Hitler liked bread. You are a Nazi!")
the community is caused.for a goat to deliver a human like
Why did you posted this joke?It never happened in Nigeria.Please stop this,we have a country to defend! Not in Ekiti,not in anywhere in Nigerian land.So stop,it's not funny!!
if you ask me ,I don't see anything human look alike there guys just take another closer look okay
you guys are retarded the chromozone difference would forbid any kind of offspring. Humans = 46 Goats = 54/60 depending on genus
There was this Igbo man caught for armed robbery who claimed he always have sex with his dogs before every operation because there lies his strength. Another under aged boy was also caught having sex with a chicken by a neighbor who happened to be the chicken's owner. When the Bible says that wickedness will abound at the end time this is it. What we are all seeing are the manifestation of wickedness.
Probably impregnated by someone!
If Ogoatherder had a daughter…!!!
They should ask the goat owner and his family who pregnant the goat because its must connect with human blood-spam and not just a magic.
Are you having any problem with your waec/gce result? WITHHELD, CANCELED RESULT, DATE OF BIRTH OR CHANGE OF NAME OR RECOVERING LOST INFORMATIONS? CALL; 08117666136
We don't need to debate this… The answer is so glaring… A yoruba man slept with the goat… That's what they always do. I wish the goat can speak, she would have told a story of how a yoruba man raped her for medicine
I was thinking it was OSHIOMHOLE'S BABY

Oakland Raiders coach Dennis Allen should have a unique perspective on Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel as Allen also played football for the Aggies.
Though Manziel had an impressive Pro Day in College Station on Thursday, Allen acknowledged there is more than on-field play to evaluate when it comes to the Heisman Trophy-winning artist known as Johnny Football.
Especially with the Raiders holding the No. 5 overall draft pick and having just acquired veteran quarterback Matt Schaub in a trade with the Houston Texans for a sixth-round draft pick.
"The biggest thing you have to look at with Johnny, it's really not as much what you see on the field, but all the other things surrounding him -- the media attention, the 'celebrity' of Johnny Manziel," Allen told the Houston Chronicle. "Those are all things, as he continues to mature, that he'll be able to handle. And if he's able to handle those things and keep them under control, he's going to have a successful career."
Allen also said the relatively small Manziel has "well above average" arm strength.
The media circus -- former President George Bush was in the house -- that attended the Pro Day also got a chance to see receiver Mike Evans, who could vault into the top 10 of the draft.
It gave teams a chance to see just how much attention Manziel will bring with him to the NFL. ESPN NFL Nation Houston Texans reporter Tania Ganguli reported that 75 representatives from teams were at the workout, including eight general managers and eight head coaches. Though Allen, offensive coordinator Greg Olson and QB coach John DeFilippo were there, Oakland GM Reggie McKenzie was not.

Get off the lawn
While some big businesses and many Republicans delay action on climate change and focus on denial, this certainly isn't the case for all companies. Royal Dutch Shell, Unilever, and more than 60 others have put out a statement calling on all governments to fight climate change by limiting carbon dioxide pollution. These businesses recognize just how serious the problem will be, and they want government action. That's just the opposite of what the climate-denial pack wants. The politicians need to be called out, and if they continue in their denials, they should be made to step down from public office. We need good, meaningful action - not road-blocking officials.

Orioles infielder Wilson Betemit left Monday's Grapefruit League game with an apparent right leg injury after he fell to the ground writhing in pain while running the bases in the bottom of the fifth inning. With two outs in the inning, Betemit was running full speed from first to second when he stumbled. It appeared that his right knee buckled before he went to the ground.

Canelo Under Jalisco Fire as Arrest Warrant is Pursued
By Miguel Rivera
WBC 154-pound champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez is under fire in Mexico. Canelo is already in San Antonio for Saturday's unification with WBA champion Austin Trout at the Alamodome.
However, authorities in Jalisco have requested that an arrest warrant be issued against Canelo and his brother Juan Ramón Alvarez.
On Tuesday, the Attorney General of the State of Jalisco move forward with the case related to the alleged crimes against boxer Ulises 'Archie' Solis. In the case of Canelo's brother, he is being charged with makng false statements to local authorities about the incident.
Canelo allegedly approached and gave a vicious beating to Solis, a former junior flyweight champion, on October 25, 2011. Solis suffered a broken jaw and lost several teeth from the beating. He required several surgeries and was stripped of his IBF due to inactivity.
Canelo has denied the allegations and said his brother was the actual person involved in the incident with Solis.

THIS YEAR'S Super Bowl is not just about expanding the NFL's ultimate championship game into cold-weather cities. It's much bigger than that.
It is about the length of the NFL season. It's about expanding it by another month, maybe even into March. Before you discount this, please note that the NFL season once contained 12 games and finished before January. Please note, too, that college football once owned New Year's Day and ended pretty much then, too, and that the NBA Finals used to take place in May, not June.

Blind Pick or Draft Pick
What mode you guys pick when playing normals?
Personally I always go Draft Pick. The people there generally act a little less stupid than the ones I see in Blind Pick.
I prefer blind because at my normal elo in Dominion, it takes about ~8 minutes to actually get a match that plays (people hop cus bans and etc.) and even though there are some champs I would love to ban, I don't think it's worth the time, especially since it's about 5x longer than a blind pick.
I used to play draft a lot but that was before level 30. The only time I play draft format now is in ranked. Like Jare said, not worth the wait time.
I always plan Blind Draft, only draft pick when it's ranked lol. I can't stand having to sit around 5 minutes for people picking stuff just for someone to leave right before it starts and then have to do it all over again... ;_;
I play draft because it's kind of a ranked scenario without worrying about ranked. Blind pick is always fun sometimes xD
Blind pick until I learn to jungle...

John Q. Busdriver| about 7 years ago
If federal funds are accepted, I hope transporters are prepared to accept federal mandates beyond what presently exists.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The effort to create a federally-funded program promoting school bus use is now focused on drumming up support in the Senate.
After recruiting nearly 50 members of the House to sign on to a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood — a turnout that the National Association for Pupil Transportation called "a rousing success by any measure" — industry members are being urged to contact their senators.
As with the House version of the letter, the Senate version asks LaHood to allocate funding for a two-year public education program to promote greater use of school buses.
Pupil transportation industry groups, partnered as the American School Bus Council, are working together in the campaign. The Senate effort is being co-sponsored by Sen. Benjamin Cardin of Maryland and Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma.
The letter to LaHood also outlines the safety, environmental and financial benefits of utilizing school buses. The Senate signatures are needed by Friday, April 16.
"It is imperative that each senator receive as many contacts as possible requesting their support and signature," Bob Riley, executive director of the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services, told members.
To find your state's U.S. senators, go here. A sample letter and other information are available on the National School Transportation Association's Website.

If federal funds are accepted, I hope transporters are prepared to accept federal mandates beyond what presently exists.

Dear Gudrun @ Window Solutions,
We are thoroughly please with our new replacement windows provided by Window Solutions. From the initial call to your company, to the final results, each person we dealt with was very professional and knowledgeable. The installation team, Mike & Trevor, were very efficient in their work and did an incredible job from beginning to end. They arrived ahead of the scheduled time (Great!) Scoped our where to work, unpacked windows, and cleaned up throughout their process — and, washed the new windows!! We will employ your company again, as we do have more windows to be replaced.
Best Regards
"I had all windows and sliding doors in the house replaced and they did a superior job. I couldn't be more pleased."
Michelle M. San Diego, CA
"Very impressed with this company! After comparing 4 estimates, this company had the most competitive prices. We had all of our windows and 2 sliding glass doors replaced and they did an excellent job."
SL. – Homeowner San Diego, CA
I want to thank you for allowing Window Solutions to do this work for you.
We won't know until the previous afternoon ( the 14th ) as to what time our installers will arrive. We will call in the afternoon to let you know how the routing is and the time.
As to furniture and blinds. Yes, we will require clear working areas for the windows and patio door. Usually the window blinds are easily removed by unclipping the top runner from the hold-down spring clips along the top bar. It might take a little 'discovery' to get the first one down, but after that you should be able to move quickly. The patio door is somewhat similar, but may be somewhat more awkward. If there is any problem with the blinds, we wouldn't expect you to damage them trying to get them down. Our guys can usually take care of them quickly, but it is not usually something that we want to obligate them to do. It is also something that we wouldn't want to have to replace if we somehow manage to damage the blinds. I am sure you can understand.
One final point is the rear patio wood deck. The area immediately adjacent to the patio door bottom has some wood decking material that will need to be removed prior to the installation of the new vinyl door. It would be best if you are able to remove the planks ( about the last four ). After the install, our guys would be able to cut or notch the wood to fit around the new door frame and sill. Leave some nails and they can reset the wood.
Again, I want thank you for having Window Solutions furnish and install the new vinyl windows and patio door for you.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Dennis Hartley
"Window Solutions is Top Notch! They educated me on lead safe practices for replacing my old wood windows. They followed the city Lead regulations to make sure my kids and I were safe and healthy. Watch out, not all companies follow this new law."
Brooke Peach, Domestic Diva

PacMosley undercard presser
Text & photos by Chris Cozzone
A press conference introducing the three opening PPV-televised bouts and undercard for Saturday night's Manny Paquiao-Shane Mosley card was held today at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. In the co-main, WBO Super Bantamweight Champion Wilfredo Vazquez (20-0-1, 17 KOs) will take on former champ Jorge Arce (56-6-2, 43 KOs). Former middleweight king Kelly Pavlik (36-2, 32 KOs) makes his long-awaited return against undefeated Alfonso Lopez (21-0, 16 KOs) in a ten-round super middleweight bout; and in the opening PPV bout, Mike Alvarado (29-0, 21 KOs) takes on Ray Narh (25-1, 21 KOs) for the WBC Continental Americas title. Pictured: Arce tells Vazquez to hush his promises of victory Saturday night.
Quick quotes:
Kelly Pavlik: "I'm fighting a kid who's hungry, undefeated and I did not take him lightly. I'm pumped and feel the best in my whole career."
Alfonso Lopez: "We all know what Kelly Pavlik brings to the table, but I did what I had to do in the gym. I came here to win."
Jorge Arce: "Only thing I know is, I'm winning by knockout."
Wilfredo Vazquez: "He is talking about a knockout – he is crazy. It isn't going to happen. I will be victor Saturday night."
Mike Alvarado: "This fight will bring me to the next level. I'm ready for the champions out there."
Ray Narh: "I'm here to take care of business. My hands will be raised high on Saturday night. Let's do this."
Pacquiao-Mosley: The fight remains
Story by Andreas Hale

There isn't much left to say that hasn't been said already.
Manny Pacquiao is supposed to win. "Sugar" Shane Mosley is too old to deal with Pacquiao's speed and is a huge underdog. Pacquiao isn't distracted by his seemingly endless amount of side activities. Mosley is ready to shock the world. If you listen to the talk surrounding the fight, it is a foregone conclusion what will transpire on Saturday night. But that's why talk is cheap . . .

Pacquiao using Yellow Gloves
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Manny Pacquiao, WBO welterweight world champion and elected congressman from the Philippine province of Sarangani, has announced that he will be wearing yellow gloves in the ring against Sugar Shane Mosley on Saturday night to support the Gawad Kalinga organization that has built more than 50,000 homes and helped more 500,000 people in poverty in the Philippines. Pacman says the yellow color symbolizes the fight against poverty. "The biggest fight of my life is not in boxing but is to end poverty in my country. On Saturday I will be using yellow gloves representing the drive to fight poverty and I encourage everyone to wear yellow on Saturday and help me carry this message of unity further."

Orlando Piñero, manager of former WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel López, has received a summary suspension pending the conclusion of an administrative hearing from the Boxing Commission of Puerto Rico to following the events of April 16 at the Ruben Rodriguez Coliseum, Bayamon, where his previously undefeated fighter lost his belt to Orlando Salido. Piñero's furious post-fight protest in the ring sparked a riot where the mayor of Guaynabo, Hector O'Neill, allegedly received a head wound from a thrown object.

5 title bouts in Japan
By Joe Koizumi
We are looking forward to watching no less than five world title bouts in a couple of weeks here in Japan. On Saturday, in Osaka, WBA bantam champ Koki Kameda (24-1, 15 KOs) will make his initial defense against Nicaraguan Daniel Diaz (18-2, 13 KOs) over twelve rounds.
On Sunday, in Tokyo (at the Korakuen Hall), there will be a female WBC title triple-header that was postponed for eight weeks from March 12 because of the earthquake happening just after the weigh-in ceremony. WBC 108-pound champ Naomi Togashi (8-0, 4 KOs) will defend her belt against Filipino Jujeath Nagaowa (9-9-1, 5 KOs) over ten two-minute rounds. WBC 102-pound titlist Momo Koseki (10-2-1, 2 KOs) will put her belt on the line against unbeaten Thailander Krikanok Islandmuaythai (4-0-1, 2 KOs). WBC 105-pound queen Anabel Ortiz (7-1, 1 KO), from Mexico, will face ex-amateur champ Nahoko Fujioka (5-0, 3 KOs) with her throne at stake. This event is presented by WBC Cares and Gen International.
On May 17, also at the Hall in Tokyo, WBA female super-fly champ Tsunami Tenkai will make her fourth defense against Thailander Petchsairoong Looksaikongdin over ten.
The busy fistic schedule may symbolize this country's steady effort for restoration after the horrible earthquake and tsunami disaster.
Klitschko in Hollywood, Fla.
Photo and report by Phil Doherty
The Heavyweight Factory boxing gym in Hollywood Florida received a surprise visitor this afternoon when WBO, IBF, IBO and Ring magazine world heavyweight champion Wladimir "Dr. Steelhammer" Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO's) stopped in for some "light" conditioning. Klitschko mercilessly assaulted one of the gym's heavy bags for almost 20 straight rounds until the hapless sack tore off the iron cross beam securing it. No worries for Klitschko as he nonchalantly stepped to his right and continued pounding the next bag in line. (more…)
Katsidis to fight in Australia
Former lightweight world champion Michael Katsidis has returned to Australia, setting up camp in his hometown of Toowoomba, Queensland. Despite back-to-back losses to the two men regarded as the best in the lightweight division, Juan Manuel Marquez and Robert Guerrero, the options for crowd-favorite Katsidis were many. However, he recently turned down the chance to fight in Las Vegas on July 30 where it was anticipated he would face Mexican great Erik Morales. But Katsidis said this week his focus was to lock in a date to fight in Australia, something he has not done since June 2006.
"My last 10 fights have been overseas and I think now is the time for me to come back to Australia and bring and bring an international opponent into my country," Katsidis said. "This is something I've been looking forward to for a long time, but until now, the timing just hasn't been right. It's been a tough six months for me personally and I feel it is really important to come home and fight." (more…)

Pacquiao-Mosley presser
By Andreas Hale
Manny Pacquiao and "Sugar" Shane Mosley pose for the media at today's final press conference held at the MGM's Hollywood Theater in Las Vegas.
J Prince: "It's an honor and a privilege to be here today to witness one of the biggest upsets in the history of boxing; that's "Sugar" Shane Mosley beating Manny Pacquiao."
Nazeem Richardson: "All we keep hearing about is age and is age a factor. What we fail to forget is that we're not talking about an ordinary guy getting older in the ring. We're talking about a special guy. This guy is a legend. . . . Mosley is bringing his own set of weapons to the plate and Pacquiao is going to see difficulties that he has never seen before"
Shane Mosley: "This fight is going to be a terrific fight. We're both warriors, we both love to fight and we're both winners. When you get two winners in the ring you know it's going to be a heck of a fight."
Freddie Roach: "From day one Manny told me this would not be an easy fight and he's been training his ass off from then until now. We know we're in for a tough fight."
Manny Pacquiao: "You heard I trained hard for this fight. You know why? Because Mosley is a good fighter. You think he's old? He's not old. He moves like he's 31-years-old. He has handspeed, foot speed and he knocked Margarito out. I fought Margarito and we went twelve rounds. He has an advantage there.
"The biggest of my fight of my life is not in boxing. The biggest fight of my life is how to end poverty in my country.
"I'm so happy about this fight because there is no trash talking. This is a good example to the boxing fans and the children who idolize the fighters."
Burns defends July 16
Big time boxing returns to Liverpool's Echo Arena on July 16th when WBO super featherweight champion Ricky Burns tops the bill in defense of his title. An opponent for Burns will be announced next week. For Burns it will be the third defense of the title he ripped away from Rocky Martinez in September and it will be his first time fighting outside of Scotland as a world champion. Promoter Frank Warren said, "Burns is one of only four world champions that Britain can boast of at the moment and the only one you can watch on these shores and he is every bit as exciting as Haye, Froch and Khan, all who are having their next fights abroad."
In the co-feature, Commonwealth light heavyweight beltholder Tony Bellew aims to add the vacant British title in a rematch with Ovill McKenzie.

"Geale is strong, but he is not going to win in my living room, the Jahnsportforum," added Sylvester.
IBF #1 rated Geale (24-1, 15 KOs) stated "My preparation went according to plan," he said. "Of course I know that Sylvester is very accomplished, but I want to make my dream of being champion become reality." (more…)

Australian middleweight Daniel Geale (24-1, 15 KOs) will challenge Sebastian Sylvester (34-3-1, 16 KOs) on Saturday for the IBF middleweight crown when they clash over twelve rounds at Jahnsportforum in Neubrandenburg, Germany.

Judges are Berit Andreasen of Denmark, Steve Epstein from Connecticut and Marcus McDonell from London, England. Geale scored an impressive twelve round stoppage over former IBF 154 pound champion Roman Karmazin in October 2010 to become the IBF mandatory contender. Sebastian Sylvester was awarded a twelve round draw against Roman Karmazin in June 2010 to retain the championship.
Matchroom inks Froch
Matchroom Sport haas announced that Carl 'The Cobra' Froch has signed a five-fight promotional deal.

The 33 year-old Nottingham star has wowed fight fans with his stunning performances against Jean Pascal, Jermaine Taylor, Andre Dirrell and Arthur Abraham, and now he plans to become a household name after years of frustration in the shadows.
"I'm so excited to be working with Matchroom," said Froch. "When you are fighting at your peak it's about raising your profile and securing TV time and that's where I am. When you sit down with Barry and Eddie, you can tell they have the power and the resources to maximise your potential so I'm really excited about the rest of my career. (more…)

"With that said, he'll have problems when we first meet up between the ropes. It's me who is 'The Real Deal,' and I'm here in this country with a mission to be completed Saturday night.

Geale hit the pads of trainer Graham Shaw for two rounds with rapid fire punches and vowed that he would "take the title." Sylvester did a few rounds of padwork with trainer Karsten Roewer followed by three rounds of shadow boxing to the rhythmic clapping of his fans. When asked what the audience would see, Sylvester replied "A victory. I have prepared myself well and with the support of the fans I want to have a great fight against Geale."

Chad Dawson camp notes
Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward is hard at work at the Kronk Gym in Detroit with his new client, former WBC light heavyweight champion "Bad" Chad Dawson (29-1, 17 KO's), for Dawson's upcoming 12-round match-up against Romanian/Canadian light heavyweight contender Adrian Diaconu (27-2, 15 KO's). The two will meet on the undercard of the May 21 "Dynasty II: Pascal vs. Hopkins" rematch at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and it will be more than a non-title clash of top 175-lb contenders for Dawson. If he wins, Dawson will face the winner of the Pascal and Hopkins in an effort to regain the belt.
Steward, known for his ability to analyze fighters and formulate winning fight plans, says he sees why Dawson is a champion and is currently working to change some technical errors in the style of the 6′ 1″ southpaw. "He's unbelievable; phenomenal balance. He goes in and out and changes directions very, very well. He's a terrific positional fighter. A lot of guys are always out of position, but Chad is sensational at getting in the right position to punch. He's a natural athlete with a track background. A lot of boxers are that way, very gifted athletes." (more…)
More on Hernandez-Keb
By Graham Houston
The smaller weight classes continued to provide the best fights with a thrilling Mexican civil war on Saturday night that saw the younger, stronger Adrian Hernandez overwhelm Gilberto Keb Baas in 10 rounds to capture the WBC light-flyweight title.
Keb Baas is a remarkable fighter, who despite having suffered 20 losses turned his career around, winning the 108-pound title with an upset victory over Omar Nino Romero. One of Keb Baas's losses was to Hernandez — a fourth-round stoppage defeat three years ago when Keb Baas's career was in a slump. The rematch was a different story, a classic contest between a boxer and a fighter. (more…)
Pacquiao, Mosley Speak

They started hovering around the make-shift ring in the lobby and the front entrance at MGM Grand an hour before the first of the custom-designed buses were scheduled to arrive. First, a little after 11 a.m., came the Shane Mosley bus. Then, at a tad after 1, the bus carrying Manny Pacquiao and his team rolled onto the property. By the time Pacquiao stepped inside the MGM, several hundred vocal, animated fans, most carrying cameras and chanting his name, and media, including dozens of TV crews, had jammed into the area.
This Saturday, May 7, at the sold-out MGM Grand Garden Arena, eight-division world champion Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs), of General Santos City, Philippines, will defend his WBO welterweight title against three-division world champion Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs), of Pomona, Calif., in the main event of a four-fight telecast produced and distributed live by SHOWTIME PPV® beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Investors who buy and sell stocks need to understand the workings of the markets and the types of orders which actually create trades. Stocks do not have fixed prices. A "hot" stock with a lot of potential buyers will increase in price. Stock of a company in decline or financial trouble will drop. The type of order can affect the price a buyer pays or a seller gets.
At the Market
A market order tells a broker to buy or sell a stock at the best available price. That may be higher or lower than the "closing" price reported at the end of a trading day or even the last posted price on a stock reporting service. Orders to buy and sell are matched, on an exchange trading floor or an electronic market and the price paid on a market order depends on that match.
Price Limit
A limit order sets a fixed price to buy or sell. If the price of a stock does not reach that price, the order won't be filled. It does not guarantee that a stock will be bought or sold at that price. It simply establishes the criteria for a broker to complete a trade with an order. Large limit orders may be filled over several days if it takes many trades to complete the order.
Stop Limit
Another type of limit is the stop order. This sets a floor or ceiling for a market order to be issued. It's a defensive measure to sell if the price drops below a certain level or to guarantee a profit if it rises. A stop order is converted to a market order once the stock reaches the designated price. However, once a market order is issued, there is no guarantee it will execute at the designated price, if subsequent trades have sent the price up or down.
Time Limits
Market or limit stock orders can be placed as day orders, good until cancelled (GTC) or immediate or cancel (IOC). Day orders are good only for the day on which they are placed. GTC orders are good until the investor cancels them. IOC orders must be executed at once or they are cancelled automatically.

Skip to comments.FLAT TAX*** TIME HAS COME???
Posted on 04/15/2002 3:58:03 PM PDT by ANAGM
OKAY Freep-peeps... Now open for discussion, the FLAT TAX thread. I for one think the flat tax is a great idea. My only issue with it is that it would likely put thousands of CPA's out of a job, but it would also do away with the majority of the IRS. I want to hear opinions from everyone. I myself, am self-employed so the flat tax is very appealing. I currently set aside about 30% of what I make to meet my tax "obligations". For info on the old ARMEY proposal got to flattax.house.gov Look forward to hearing from you all.
But you're right, too many people depend on the jobs the IRS causes, agents, accountants, etc.
But I say, bring it on! And while we're at it, let's abolish the death tax too!
land fill? no, my bad, that's lawyers. nevermind.
flat tax would be a major step in the right direction from where we are.
I would support a flat tax but not a national sales tax. The flat tax would have to be something less than 15% and we would have to safeguard the rate by working into law some way to prevent the crooked bastids in Congress from raising it every year. 30% of my hard-earned income is just to darn much. That said, we will never get the criminals in government to agree to anything "fair". The only way we will get out from under their thumb is if we revolt. (Not necessarily armed revolt - don't get me wrong here!)
Would you have an issue with curing cancer if it resulted in putting some doctors out of work?
I'm sure those CPA's could find other ways of earning their pay.
Maybe you can help me with something I've been wondering about. Why would a flat tax (i.e., a uniform tax rate) on income wipe out the "majority of the IRS" or render CPA's useless?
No tax at all means we need to look again at tariffs to fund the government.
And in an era of reliance on world trade partners, tariffs are a dangerous thing.
No, we need some form of taxation, sales or flat...
But we need fair taxation!
If there's one thing California has learned from gay right's activists it's "push your agenda gradually" Take what you can get and work towards an income tax free society
But it is especially important that EVERYONE pays tax. We have a situation now where about half of the people pay NO taxes...when more than half of the people are voting for freebies an not the principles of freedom our cultural and societal decline will accelerate...and the bottom is approaching way to fast as it is.
The fairness of the "progressive" tax is simply self-evident to some people--namely, the vast majority. It will never be permanently got rid of.
Under the ARMEY proposal, you forfeit your deductions (weep), and the tax form is the size of a postcard. The simplicity of it all demands that CPA's and the IRS would have to reduce their numbers. Clint Eastwood once put it this way, if the flat tax were passed the IRS would be replaced by a little old lady and a PC.
Which puts us right back at square one. I would rather see a limit on the legislative session than anything else. We could save a lot of money if the crooks in Congress had something else to do besides screw up the freedom of the citizens of the Republic for at least 6 to 9 months out of the rear.
Freudian slip?
The Constitution, in Article I, Section 8, gives Congress the power "to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States."
In Article I, Section 9, the original document made clear that "no Capitation, or other direct Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census of Enumeration herein before directed to be taken." It is moreover established that "No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State."
Since 1913, our Constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property have been abridged and diminished by the assumption of direct taxing authority on each of us by the federal government.
We will propose legislation to abolish the Internal Revenue Service, and will veto any authorization, appropriation, or continuing resolution which contains any funding whatsoever for that illicit and unconstitutional agency. We are opposed to the flat-rate tax proposals that are being promoted as an improvement to the current tax system. The Sixteenth Amendment does not provide authority for an unapportioned direct tax.
Moreover, it is our intention to replace entirely the current tax system of the U.S. government (including income taxes, Social Security taxes, estate taxes, and inheritance taxes).
To the degree that tariffs on foreign products are insufficient to cover the legitimate Constitutional costs of the federal government, we will offer an apportioned "state-rate tax" in which the responsibility for covering the cost of unmet obligations will be divided among the several states in accordance with their proportion of the total population of the United States, excluding the District of Columbia. Thus, if a state contains 10 percent of the nations citizens, it will be responsible for assuming payment of 10 percent of the annual deficit.
The effect of this "state-rate tax" will be to encourage politicians to argue for less, rather than more, federal spending, and less state spending as well.
I understand that the tax code can be simplified by, among other things, eliminating various deductions. What I don't understand is the connection between uniform rates and simplification. Once I've waded through the deductions and the more complicated parts of the code, the simplest part of the project is to find the appropriate rate. They even provide a table for that and making the rates uniform won't significantly simplify that task.
I do understand the usual philosophical arguments in favor of uniform rates, but I don't think that they have much to do with simplicity. And I hate to see the effort to create a simpler tax code stymied by its being attached to the more controversial demand for uniform rates.
I'm retired on about the average US income, I paid less than 5%.
Everybody do your math, how many paying over 15% of gross income now?
The problem would be that if we took the federal budget and divided it by the number of taxpayers, some people would not be able to pay that amount. Then there should be a huge cry to lower the amount. The most logical way to lower the price would be to reduce the spending.
Alas, logic has nothing to do with politics.
However I much prefer a repeal of income tax in favor of a national sales tax. I really do not like reporting my finacial dealings to the goverment. Also, I can much better regulate the taxes I pay through national sales taxation.
Unfortunately I cannot support a Sales tax unless the 16th Amendment is repealed.
"I pay taxes like I would pay "protection money" to the mob ; so they won't come and break my legs or in the case of the IRS put me in the can and take away my house. There is very little difference between organized crime and government theft through taxation. "
A flat tax is still an income tax. It does not get rid of the IRS. You (and every other taxpayer) would continue to pay "protection money" to the IRS mob under the Flat Income Tax.
OTOH, the National Retail Sales Tax will abolish the IRS. You will no longer pay "protection money."
Here is the logic: You will pay taxes in accordance with how much you consume, not how much you earn. You will be in control of how much you consume. Therefore, you will be in control of the amount of taxes you pay:
Not the Congress.
Not the IRS.
