The young migrants, the beneficiaries of the project, that will be awarded the CILS Diploma (Certification of Italian as a Foreign Language) were present. The Minister of Education, University and Research (MIUR), Ms. Stefania GIANNINI participated in this ceremony.
London, February 25, 2015 – The Italian Telematic University Uninettuno conquests the City. Today the inauguration of the new Campus of the London School of Business and Finance (LSBF), located in the heart of London's finance, where the Technological Pole of Uninettuno is inserted, was held in London in the presence of His Royal Highness Prince Michael of Kent.
I thank Uninettuno for its structure, its teachers, its tutors and its community. Uninettuno is really the forefront of knowledge. With my family responsibilities for me UNINETTUNO was the opportunity to realise a dream. WATCH VIDEO >>
A couple of years ago I had to move to Peru for work reasons, and, unfortunately, I was not able to complete my study. The University Uninettuno gave me the opportunity to enrol in and conclude my academic career in a little over a year. WATCH VIDEO >>
Thanks to the tutors that are very helpful and fabulous. The fact that most surprised me in the UNINETTUNO is the readiness to help and the exchange among students of the University. WATCH VIDEO >>
My experience is very positive. I believe that the UNINETTUNO's method is really innovative one, in step with our times. I would recommend this formula to anyone who works, but also to today's young people, because it allows them to have the available time to deepen subjects of their interest without having to move in academic campuses. WATCH VIDEO >>
This formula of the University allowed me to study at a time when it was more convenient for me: at night, early morning, during the rehearsals and in the most unexpected moments. WATCH VIDEO >>
I've always heard like the song of the Sirens something that links me to the university studies, and, finally, in December 2010, Telecom Italia and the UNINETTUNO gave me this opportunity thanks to the project #IOVIVOCONNESSO – A DEGREE JUST FOR PASSION. WATCH VIDEO >>
For me Uninettuno was a comprehensive learning experience, not only from the educational point of view but as well as personal growth. I had to quit my studies many years ago, and UNINETTUNO gave me the opportunity to repair this personal dissatisfaction and transform it into a worthwhile experience. WATCH VIDEO >>
The UNINETTUNO gave me the chance to recommence and finally complete study that I had started many years ago. The possibility of being followed online continuously at any time and in the week ends is definitely a point in favour of the online universities. For me it was a very positive experience that I recommend to people like me who have limited time to devote to studies or who can study only at certain hours. WATCH VIDEO >>
My experience in the UNINETTUNO was a totally positive experience. It was a well-rounded educational experience, both from the personal point of view and educational and social ones. I recommend it to people who have particular problems with time management and manageability of own life. WATCH VIDEO >>
The UNINETTUNO is an experience that puts the student at the centre of her/his growth projects. The student is no longer marginal to the university life, but it is central. I would recommend this experience to the new generations, that, surely, will find in the online University a more attractive and engaging force. WATCH VIDEO >>

About Me
I am just a 'green horn' to scrapbooking. I have signed up for Digital Photography Simplified, but as I read the information and go out and look at the galleries, I think I am way over my head! I have PSE 6 and still don't know how to do things-get lost easily. I live out in the country. We raise cattle and horses. We, my brother and sister-in-law, moved here from AZ. in 2007, to be closer to my nephew. Sooo I have alot to learn. Any advice will be welcomed. Hope I am doing this right.

Upper West Side
Upper West Side residents can't imagine living anywhere else.
The buildings are beautiful and, with a few exceptions, tend not to tower over the blocks. The pace of life is a bit slower than in other areas of NYC. For anyone that has lived in or knows Boston, the neighborhood is the closest thing to Boston living that New York has.

Shale Training & Education Center (ShaleTEC)
View PCN Natural Gas Tour featuring the College's Avco-Lycoming Metal Trades Center, Schneebeli Earth Sciences Center and Marcellus Shale Education & Training Center, as well as an Anadarko Petroleum drilling site in Lycoming County.
Shale Training & Education Center (ShaleTEC) is a collaboration between Pennsylvania College of Technology and Penn State Extension established to serve as the central resource for workforce development and education needs of the community and the oil and natural gas industry.
Central operations are located in the Center for Business & Workforce Development on the main campus of Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport. Training is also offered at Penn State Extension offices, Penn College at Wellsboro, Penn College's Energy Technology Resource Center in Montgomery, and various Penn State campus locations across Pennsylvania.
Sample Programs and Capabilities
- Workforce needs assessment
- New technology development
- Access to student interns and graduates
- Research
- Advisory boards
- Customized training
- On-site training
- Industry-specific training
- Facility for meetings/events
With recent global pressures on energy, as well as key advances in new technology, the domestic natural gas market has re-emerged in locations that have not historically played a part in the recovery of this natural resource. Techniques such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (hydro-fracing) have allowed gas to be unlocked from the pores of organic shale; some of which was buried approximately 400 million years ago and, until recently, not thought of as a viable, sustainable source of energy. The Marcellus and Utica Shale plays are of particular interest to the industry because of the potential size of the formations, as well as their close proximity to the major population centers of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. As this new resource develops, there will be many challenges that need to be addressed by both the communities and the oil and natural gas industry partners. ShaleTEC will act as a central resource to help overcome many of these challenges and allow this natural resource and the regional communities to be developed in conjunction with each other.

With their usual flair, 2nd Story Theatre is staging Sabrina Fair, the 1953 light romance by Samuel A. Taylor that provided the template for the film adaptation titled Sabrina. It's running through September 2, directed with his customary finesse by Ed Shea.
If anyone out there has not seen the 1954 film starring Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart, add it to your Netflix queue right now. In the snappy, endearing romp, director Billy Wilder choreographed a delightful minuet of sly romantic sidesteps. (Don't get confused and pick up the 1995 version, in which a self-satisfied Julia Ormond makes us wonder what Harrison Ford saw in her.)
In both the play and film, Sabrina Fairchild is the daughter of a chauffeur who grew up in that subservient role on a sprawling Long Island estate. She is not really Cinderella, though, unless you're talking about a version where Cindy goes off to finishing school and comes back to correct the grammar of her stepsisters. For Sabrina has been working in Paris for five years, returning a sophisticated young lady, self-possessed and charming.
Played with winsome vitality by Gabby Sherba, she is finally noticed by the two young men on the estate whom she grew up with. She always had a crush on David Larrabee (Jeff Church), and he's properly wide-eyed and drop-jawed at her transformation. But when older brother Linus Larrabee (Alex Duckworth) first notices her, he briskly and casually says, "Hi, Sabrina," which prompts an intentional bop on the head with her hatbox as she spins around and exits in a huff.
The play is much more complex than Wilder's film, which slimmed the plot until it flew as straight as Cupid's arrow. For example, in addition to Maude Larrabee (Isabel O'Donnell), the mother of the young men, there is her visiting friend Julia Ward McKinlock (Paula Faber), occasionally giving Sabrina sound advice. There's even a wealthy Frenchman (Tim White) in hot pursuit. Sabrina's widower father, known only as Fairchild (Vince Petronio), is kindly but hapless, having taken that job so he'd have time to read (he's currently on novel 6000-something).
There is an overt sibling rivalry between the brothers, with Linus recently dating David's ex-wife Gretchen (Allison Crews), but she quickly passes through the play having served that simple purpose. (Similarly decorative, but with occasional lines in several amusing walk-on scenes, is Linus Larrabee Sr., whom Bob Colonna gives an entertaining gruffness. His hobby is attending funerals, which cheer him up.) Since we learn more about Linus than his brother, at first he seems to be a much more well-rounded characterization; however, he's drawn in a single dimension: "ruthless" is how his mother describes him, not without affection. A recent article in Fortune magazine lauded his success in growing a small family enterprise into Larrabee Industries, a major corporation. A related attribute, as he describes to Sabrina, is that he doesn't believe in romantic love or marriage. We'll see about that.
When Sabrina first bursts onto the patio in haute couture (thank you, costume designer Ron Cesario), she commences a barely interrupted soliloquy of hyper-energetic enthusiasm; we all but expect her to start speaking in tongues. Sherba makes that scene fly and also keeps us interested when, two weeks later, Sabrina is upset at being ignored, no longer the center of attention. As she says to Linus, the two things she learned in Paris were to develop her appetites and to discipline them.

Where I stayed
Couchsurfed with Laura and Carlos
Dallas! I've imagined visiting here for a long time, ever since my fascination with the JFK assassination in my teens. I should have gone to Austin, a liberal chilled out city full of young people, I could have gone to Houston, but I wanted to see Dallas. My concern was staying with Republicans, I just find listening to them extremely difficult without banging my head against a brick wall, hopefully there have padded walls. Luckily, my preconceptions about Dallas are completely misguided!
I need to make my own way to my hosts place. The small rail system in downtown Dallas is excellent and easy to navigate. It's not long before I am walking off the train and slowly walking towards their apartment. Laura and Carlos live in a great part of the city, it is safe, well built up and beautiful to walk around. As I walk from the train, my pace is slow, the sun is out, it is hot and I am loving the sun on my face. I lift up my head, smile at the sky and enjoy the moment. The freedom of travelling is a satisfying feeling, especially when you successfully navigate a city!
I find the gate to their apartment area, there is a small community of dozens of buildings and in theory, you are supposed to be buzzed into the complex. My hosts are not in so I squeeze my way through the gate, find their apartment and sit on their stairs and wait. I've got into Peter Bjorn and John in a big way, so continue enjoying the new music I am listening to.
Laura and Carlos return and greet me like an old friend. We enter their apartment and within a few minutes, we tuck into a cooked chicken, some tortillas and dip as well. They were planning on going to a birthday party and had invited me, but after they went to ikea, they could wait no longer and bought a cooked chicken, they sound like my kind of people! They are both from Mexico, they recently spent some time living in Cancun and have both spent a large portion of their lives living in Dallas. They have seen the city transform from a dangerous crime ridden city to a safe and fancy place to dine and entertain! The interesting aspect of their relationship, was that Carlos had already met Laura's family before he met her. Even at their wedding, some of her relatives came that had never seen her fiance but when they met him face to face, had known him for years! Carlos is a sociable beast, incredibly friendly and humble and has an excellent memory. He has 2000 friends on facebook, and I do believe he knows them all!
We chat for a long time, get ready and head out to a restaurant called Glorias. We just grab drinks there and meet many of their friends. I chatted to a Polish woman called Dagmar more than anyone else. She works on high profile business deals for a global company and regularly finds herself all over the world. An interesting character! We head to a dance club and shake our stuff for the next 4 hours. In that time, Dagmar felt so pleased to have been chatted up by the girlfriend of the club owner. We left the club at 2am and all Dagmar was talking about was how she wanted to call her boyfriend (who was flying to Argentina) the good news of getting a new girlfriend! So funny, Carlos says she always talks like this when a little drunk. At 230am we were at a bar that serves food till late in the morning, I enjoyed some grease dripping tacos and plenty of water!
A great night, wonderful company and it is a side of Dallas I was not expecting to see. I'm so lucky that Carlos and Laura are so liberal and so are there friends. They also have a comfy pull out sofa while most hosts have been sleeping on a blow up air mattress that seems to deflate every night!
Miles walked 0.87
Temperature 28C
Day 132 May 15 - My plan was to get up early, and explore Dallas. My plan didn't quite go to plan when Laura and Carlos made me breakfast, what a treat! Fresh coffee, fresh omlette, perfect. They were on their way to a BBQ, and no matter how strongly I wanted to join them, I had a stronger urge to see downtown Dallas and especially Dealey Plaza.
After breakfast, Carlos and Laura gave me a driven tour, about an hour, around Dallas and surrounding neighbourhoods. The city centre itself has a fascinating sky line, the outer suburbs were interesting and a little dangerous. Carlos almost drives into another car while navigating and playing tour guide, Laura's response 'I really don't want to get shot today!'.
I'm dropped off just outside the 6th floor museum. This is the book depository, where Oswald supposedly took the fatal shots. I find it chilling how it is now a museum, but once I reach the 6th floor, the museum is more about the life of JFK than focusing on his death and from 'where' the shots came from. I listen to the earphone guide, I wander around the museum. I take from it what I want, one interesting fact that I read, in 1963 there was no federal law against assassinating the President of the USA. Therefore, the local Dallas PD undertook the investigation, and so the mess began. It's strange that I feel regret, but it is a period of history I regret for the USA and for all those who served in Vietnam afterwards, some who never came home.
I leave the 6th floor museum and walk towards the grassy knoll. We've all seen the movie JFK, but to be up front and close the where Zapruder filmed the impact and to be where a 2nd gun man was placed, very harrowing!
I stood at the picket fence for some time, I cannot believe how small the plaza is, how normal the road seems, it upsets me that people find it rewarding to stand on the X where the fatal head shot was, and strike a pose for the camera. It's why I didn't go to the killing fields in Cambodia.
Just a couple of blocks away from Dealey plaza, is the JFK memorial. Opposite the memorial is the oldest house in Dallas.
I spent some more time in the afternoon, wandering the streets of Dallas, there is a mix between the outgoing affluent and the struggling poverty line in the city.
As I knew I would be spending this day by myself, I arranged to meet another couchsurfer for coffee. There is only so long I will spend exploring the city. So, I met Alyssa at a Borders book store near my hosts apartment. We discussed politics, books and travels for two hours. It was a pleasure to meet her and share a coffee. She's another person that was prepared to leave the USA if a certain crazy hockey lady got into government.
My phone is no longer making or receiving calls, well it does, I just can't hear anyone on the other end! I'm not sure if my texts are working either? This makes meeting and engaging with couchsurfing hosts extremely difficult.
I end up spending another couple of hours at borders until I was ready to go back to Laura and Carlos.
We spend the night up till 1am discussing all sorts about our views on the world and the places in which we have seen and lived. I thoroughly enjoyed their company and felt very very comfortable and welcome in their home.
Miles walked 1.4
Temperature 26C
Day 133 May 16 - My bus was due to leave Dallas at midday so I enjoyed another breakfast from Carlos, using the left over chicken into making a Spanish omlette! So tasty.
Carlos was very gracious in dropping me off at the bus station and letting me know I was welcome back anytime!
I had sometime after grabbing my ticket to go see downtown some more and explore a little bit more of the city.
I was very lucky to have spent my time with wonderful hosts and I leave Texas with a better impression that what I hear or see in the media.
Next stop, Oklahoma City.

1.17: Technology Careers
Did you ever wonder who thinks up the designs for roller coasters like this one, or how a roller coaster is built? There are more than 100 large amusement parks in the U.S., and they compete to have the fastest or tallest coasters that give the most thrilling ride. Each year, many of the parks install new roller coasters. Each new coaster is designed for its specific location and the park's needs. Then it is custom built.
Technology Professionals
Companies that design and build roller coasters employ a range of technology professionals. Technology is the application of science to real-world problems. Professionals in technology are generally called engineers. Engineers are creative problem solvers. They use math and science to design and develop just about everything—from roller coasters to video games.
Q: Whether engineers are designing and developing roller coasters or video games, they need many of the same skills and the same basic knowledge. What skills and knowledge do you think all engineers might need?
A: All engineers need basic knowledge of math and science, particularly physical science. For example, to design and build a roller coaster, they would need to know about geometry, as well as forces and motion, which are important topics in physical science. In addition, all engineers must have skills such as logical thinking and creativity. The ability to envision three-dimensional structures from two-dimensional drawings is also helpful for most engineers.
Careers in Engineering
Different types of engineers, such as electrical and mechanical engineers, must work together to build roller coasters and most other engineering projects. You can learn about these and other technology careers at the URLs listed here and in the Figure below.
- http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/science_careers.shtml?gclid=CMbjl5HB4qgCFcW8Kgod7HdmGQ
- http://www.careertoolkits.com/engineering/
These are just a few of many possible careers in technology. Do any of these careers interest you?
- Professionals in technology are generally called engineers. Engineers are creative problem solvers who use math and science to design and build things.
- Different types of engineers, such as electrical and mechanical engineers, work together on most engineering projects.
- engineer: Professional in technology.
It's a lot harder to design a roller coaster than you might think. Try your hand at designing a virtual coaster at this URL. Go back and correct any design problems until your roller coaster is rated both safe and fun.

The age-old problem of shrinkage in men's.......... dress shirts needs an explanation.
If you ever wonder why your dress shirt might shrink...read on.
It's amazing what can go wrong with a dress shirt!
Shrinkage in dress shirts is an unusual problem since the manufacturer has already allowed for the normal 2% shrinkage. Manufactured shirts are normally designed so when they shrink 2% they will be at the promised size. If your dress shirt shrinks all over, you probably have a defective shirt and the manufacturer should be held responsible.
But what happens when you have that shirt laundered a few times and it eventually shrinks either in the sleeves or the collar?
I have seen this situation occasionally and often on custom tailored shirts.
This may be the result of the cuff or collar interfacing shrinking while the outer fabric does not, causing the shirt to seemingly get smaller in only 1 area, say on the collar, but the body still feels right. What's going on?
The interfacing is an inner layer of fabric covered by the outer fabric found on cuffs, collars and placket in dress shirts. The interfacing gives the cuffs and collars extra strength and body in these important parts of the dress shirt. But I believe sometimes the interfacing is not pre-shrunk causing this problem. When the outer fabric has been pre-shrunk but the interfacing has not, the cuffs or collars (or both) can shrink.
Should this happen, I suggest you measure the collar (or the sleeves if this is what shrinks) and see if the shirt still measures its original size. If the collar or sleeves have shrunk, return it to the retailer or tailor for adjustment.
If you have 2 similar shirts and only one shrinks, assuming they have both been laundered the same way, there must be something going on with the one shirts that fails. This too, is a manufacturer's problem.
Of course, if you (or your dry cleaner or commercial laundry) have not followed care label instructions and the dress shirt shrinks, then you (or your dry cleaner or commercial laundry) are responsible.
If the collar or sleeves have not shrunk, get on the scale and see if you have grown a little.

The goal here is nothing more that to get a team, in each area where there is another NFL team and challenge their fans to a game of friendly competition. Here is how it worksââ¬Â¦
There are 31 teams in the NFL other than us DOLFANS! Us DOLFANS are in every state and continent around the world! The goal is to form a team, in each area where another team, or fan base, may reside. This team would be made up of our own fans that wish to do battle with the other fans. While I would hope that 75% of each team representing the FINS would come from this forum, I know that this is not a likely expectationââ¬Â¦ However, each member of the team must either HATE the opposing team or be a FINFAN! Now I could spend DAYS and WEEKS trying to support and enforce this but I think you all may know where I am coming fromââ¬Â¦
I donââ¬â¢t really think that I need to go into each teamââ¬â¢s location as I am SURE that you know where you live at and know what team is close to you. If you really need that info, PM me and I will respond with ââ¬ÅDONââ¬â¢T BOTHERââ¬Â!!!
Now there have been several responses to my thread ââ¬ÅA Challengeââ¬Â. Listed below are the names of those that have showed interest and could possibly be a point of contact for othersââ¬Â¦ If you do NOT see anyone in your area, and you are interested in pursuing this adventure, please PM me and I will create another area. However, you must understand this, if you create the new area, you will be the POC for that area until such time that you identify anotherââ¬Â¦
Once you have formed your team, let me know. From there we can work together to get your team set up for a game with the neighboring competitionââ¬Â¦ You need to let me know the following so that I may schedule and provide rules for the gameââ¬Â¦
Upon the receipt of the above items, I will provide $500.00 to support your team in your areaââ¬Â¦ The money is meant to be an offset for expenses for things like jerseys and anything else that you wish to spend it onââ¬Â¦ However, each team MUST submit a film of the game. And each team had BETTER be wearing a jersey/t-shirt that represents this site!!! I want to see at least a common jersey!!!
- Will it be tackle or flag
- What schedule works best for you and your team
- Who is the captain/POC for your team
- You must fill out a form that identifies that all on the team have signed up to play with no risk of law suite or charges if they get hurt. I donââ¬â¢t need a copy from each one, but a single copy signed by all. This can be faxed to meââ¬Â¦
Currently I have the following contacts in the following areas:
Low Key
Washington DC/Maryland/Virginia:
Rules and REGS will follow and be specific to each gameââ¬Â¦ i.e. Tackle vs Flag etcââ¬Â¦ This is meant to be FUN and fill in the void from the SB to pre-seasonââ¬Â¦ So if you wish to join a team or create a team, please PM me or respond to this post.
MODS... Could you sticky?

Saw Cake, De La Soul, Flaming Lips, and various filler bands Thursday night; really good show, although the Cake front man was just as aggro and angry as he was when I saw them last year in Berkeley. Still, good show.
Work: boring as hell. I know now that the only way it won't be boring drudgery for me is if I let myself care about it. I can't do that unless I decide that this company is definitely what I want to do for the next few years. One or two is easy to see - much beyond that, I just can't. Grrr. I need to be able to give a shit to want to be there, and right now I'm just having trouble with that.
I am discovering, in bits and pieces, that I am an emotional wreck. The events of the last couple of years have left me with much to process and understand. The dotcom boom and crash put me through the wringer; caring for my grandfather while he slowly died is something that will take me years to figure out. What do the last two years of my life mean to me? What will it mean to me in five years?

RIPLEY – A man and woman are in jail after a witness who saw them steal a generator notified Tippah authorities, who arrested the pair later that day with the stolen generator in their truck, which later turned out to be stolen from Memphis.
Robert Walker Davis, 29, of Byhalia, and 24-year old Casey Hamilton are each charged with one count of burglary and receiving stolen property. The two are also the prime suspects in an attempted burglary in Benton County.
Additionally, the woman was questioned by Fayette, Tenn., authorities in connection with the sale of a stolen TV set, Tippah Chief Deputy Chris McCallister said this week.
The two are charged with taking the generator from a Miss. 4 residence earlier this week. Tippah authorities were alerted, and soon found a black Dodge Dakota fitting the suspect vehicle's description stopped with a flat tire on Miss. 4 West.
The pair was taken into custody without incident after deputies found the stolen generator in the truck bed.
The man gave authorities a false ID, using the name and other information of a friend of his. Although the false name was similar to Davis' name, authorities soon saw through it. Like Davis, the friend also had a criminal history. Davis' fingerprints — on file due to an extensive criminal history – revealed his true identity. Records indicate he's wanted in Hernando (Miss.), Memphis and Shelby County Tenn.) in connection with thefts, Wyoming, and Colorado, where he's also accused of stealing a vehicle, McCallister said.

Upcoming Scenes 1/14 – 1/19 part 1
I've just taken a sneak peek at several DVD's which will be uploaded in the following few days. I'll be previewing a few scenes from those DVD's in this post. We start out with a favorite of mine, Mariah (before she went under the knife). Coupled with all natural, and rarely seen Cheyanne, the duo take on Uncle Vinny in 2 on 1 #2. Then it's off to the beach to catch up with Casey Parker (because, as Alice Copper once said – School's Out!), and lastly we'll take a look at a girl that's new to me – Rachel Honey in Dude Your Girlfriend Is In A Porno #4. I've captured images, and have summaries for all three scenes inside.

STARKVILLE – Caleb McClanahan threw 249 pitches over a 10-day span, including 158 in a pair of starts four days apart. But he's good to go.
The senior right-hander will take the mound tonight for Central Ar-kansas in its NCAA Starkville Regional opener against No. 14 Mississippi State. McClanahan (10-5, 2.17 ERA) has put in a lot of work lately, including two starts in last week's Southland Conference tournament, which UCA won.
In his last outing, six days ago, McClanahan tossed six innings, allowing three runs on nine hits versus Oral Roberts.
"I'm good. Good to go," he said. "Thrown a lot, but we went through all that in the fall, in the spring, all the working out and the running and everything. I'm fine."
McClanahan has logged a team-high 1161⁄3 innings this season, and coach Allen Gum has no qualms running him out there for tonight's game.
"He's been our horse. He's been our No. 1 guy for two years," Gum said.
UCA (39-20) won two of three from MSU (43-17) here back in March. McClanahan took the Game 1 loss, giving up two runs on three hits in 41⁄3 innings.
"I've tweaked some things since the beginning of the season when I played them," he said. "I'll be bringing that out."
Big crowd expected
McClanahan and the rest of his team don't expect to be overwhelmed by the environment that's expected today at Dudy Noble Field. More than 6,300 tournament passes have already been sold, and MSU officials are expecting a heavy walk-up crowd for single-game tickets.
All three head coaches for the visiting teams believe that having played at other big schools – like Florida State, Georgia Tech and Oklahoma State – will help prepare their players for the atmosphere today.
"A regional wouldn't be a regional with 150 people in the stands," South Alabama coach Mark Calvi said. "I hope it's packed out."
MSU's Hunter Renfroe and Jonathan Holder were both named first-team All-Americans by Louisville Slugger on Thursday. Reliever Ross Mitchell made the third team.
Renfroe, a junior outfielder, is batting .352 and has 15 home runs, which is tied for the SEC lead. He also has 54 RBIs.
Holder, a sophomore closer, has a school-record 16 saves this year to go with a 2-0 record and 1.00 ERA. Mitchell, a sophomore, is 11-0 with a 1.55 ERA as a long reliever.

Smart Start South Central has begun a fundraising campaign to help keep Dolly Parton's Imagination Library alive in Pontotoc County.
As is the case with most state-supported agencies, said Trish Little, SSSC community coordinator, Smart Start South Central's funding has taken a big hit this year, leaving very few funds to keep the Imagination Library program in operation. The program sends a free, age-appropriate book to any Pontotoc County child who registers, up to age 5. It costs $28 per year to fund each child enrolled in DPIL.

This section provides information on the following topics:
What Is Personalized Cancer Medicine?
Personalized medicine involves selecting treatments based on a person's unique genetic makeup and the genetic makeup of the tumor. By performing more genetic tests and analysis, doctors may customize treatment to each patient's needs.
Understanding Targeted Therapy
Until recently, cancer treatment was largely based on the location in the body where the tumor began, such as the lung or breast. Now, cancer treatment increasingly depends on specific factors of a person's tumor, such as gene mutations (changes) or proteins that are often characteristic of cancer cells, regardless of the original location of the cancer.
Angiogenesis and Angiogenesis Inhibitors to Treat Cancer
Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels. This process regularly occurs during growth and development in children but happens less often in adults. For example, angiogenesis occurs during the healing of a deep cut or after menstruation. Otherwise, angiogenesis in adults is usually part of a disease process such as cancer.
Understanding Pharmacogenomics
The field of pharmacogenomics (also called pharmacogenetics) studies how our inherited genes affect the way our bodies process and respond to drugs, which can make these drugs more or less effective and safe. A drug may act differently in one person than in another person taking the same drug for the same condition. For instance, some people may experience severe side effects from a drug, while others may not, even when given comparable doses of the drug.

|Petra Nemcova
Petra Nemcova attended the Dolce & Gabana party in Milan, Italy on Christmas day and she blew away every other woman at the party with sheer hotness. She didn't show any cleavage, or ass, or whatever. But the dress she wore made her look really sexy. And the way she seductively smiled for the cameras added to the effect. Or maybe I just got tired of looking at half-naked women for the past few days that the first chick I saw fully-clothe looked really hot.

Watch Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima From NatGeo's Cosplay Documentary
- Written by Dave Walsh
Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima has for the past few years been hands down the most colorful fighter to step into a K-1 ring, largely due to his affinity for cosplaying. He has insisted in the past that it is not cross-dressing, although he might choose to dress as female characters, but simple costume play, known as cosplaying in Japan. His cosplaying has spilled over into the ring for him as he enters the ring fully dressed up before stripping down to his fight gear and has garnered him international attention.
National Geographic Channel ran a program about cosplaying earlier this week and a whole feature portion of the show was based upon Jienotsu himself and the reasons behind why he cosplays and the ridicule he receives for it. It is somewhat sad that a professional fighter like Nagashima has to declare to the world that he is not a homosexual and doesn't do things because it is a fetish for him, it is simply something he likes to do. While there is no way that I could ever see myself or one of my friends participating in cosplay or anything like it, it is brave of Nagashima to talk to the world about something he loves to do and is often misunderstood.

Grilled Sofrito Pork
Sofrito, which means "sautéed," is one of the most important building blocks of Latin American cooking. This aromatic cooking base combines the rich flavors of onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cilantro and garlic sautéed in olive oil until meltingly tender and deeply flavored. Here, we combine our homemade sofrito with pork, let it marinate overnight and grill over a hot fire. The results: outdoor Latino cooking at its best.
Serves 6
Prep time: 15 min.
Total time: 50 min., plus marinating time
Ľ cup GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 medium onion, very finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 medium green bell pepper, very finely chopped (about ľ cup)
Ľ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, divided
2 tbsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic
1 tsp. GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning with Pepper, plus more to taste
1 packet Sazón GOYA® with Coriander and Annatto
4 medium, ripe tomatoes, cored, seeded and finely chopped (about 2 ˝ cups)
1 2-2˝ lb. boneless pork shoulder butt roast, or boneless pork loin roast, cut into 6 steaks about 1" thick
|Heat oil in large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften but do not brown, 8-10 minutes. Add 2 tbsp. cilantro, garlic, 1 tsp. Adobo and Sazón. Cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add tomatoes to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until moisture from tomatoes evaporates and mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Transfer sofrito mixture to non-reactive container; chill until cold. Scoop out and reserve 6 tbsp. sofrito mixture; mix with remaining cilantro. Cover and reserve in refrigerator.
|Add pork steaks to container with remaining sofrito; massage to coat completely in sauce. Cover with plastic wrap. Transfer pork to refrigerator. Marinate at least 4 hours, or up to 48 hours. Bring pork to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.
|Heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove pork from sofrito mixture, shaking off excess. Add pork to hot-greased grill grates. Season pork with Adobo, if desired. Cook, flipping once, until pork is dark golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of at least 140F), 17-20 minutes. Transfer pork to platter. Top with reserved sofrito mixture. Serve.

I'd say they should do the opposite. End the "end game" already, and let's level. (And not just for two days to reach a pseudo max level which is just really useless and and artificial cap to make the "end game" start)
Stop making raiding content.
There is plenty of raiding content if people want to raid.
Bottom line: Raiding sucks.
Stop making new BG's/Arenas.
There are plenty of BG's/Arenas if people want to PvP.
Bottom line: PvP sucks.
Stop making posts.
There are plenty of trolls on this site.
Bottom line: The OP sucks.
In the next expansion after we reach 100 we should reset back to like, "prestige" leveling and start at 1, even though we'd really be at 101. And then we can go back to level 60 and everyone can say how it'll be like we're playing in classic again.
Your rights as a consumer begin and end at the point where you choose not to consume, and not where you yourself influence the consumed goods.
Translation: if you don't like a game don't play it.
Oh man I can see it now.
No more expansions, just overpriced "map packs" and "raid packs" released on the blizzard store. What a nightmare.

Press Conference
Secretary Kerry's Press Conference after Israel Trip, April 2013
Secretary of State John Kerry held this press conference after his trip to Israel on April 9, 2013. He discussed his meetings with Minister Netanyahu, President Abbas, Prime Minister Fayyad, and President Peres and speculation on the Arab Peace Initiative.
Excerpt from the press conference:
"QUESTION: Hi, Mr. Secretary. I want to ask: We've heard from several sources that in your meetings with the parties you proposed two changes to the Arab Peace Initiative, so that this initiative would serve afterwards as a basis for negotiations on borders and security.
Second issue: Just a follow-up for things that you spoke in the beginning; you spoke about economic steps to be taken on the ground. Now the pertinent issue for the Palestinians on the ground is the issue of prisoners. Have you heard anything from the Israelis in this regard?
Thank you.
SECRETARY KERRY: Thank you very much. President Abbas raised the issue of prisoners with me, and he's very passionate about it, and I understand that passion. And obviously, the issue of prisoners is very, very important to the Palestinians, very, very important to President Abbas. And I am not going to discuss here what I discussed privately with the Prime Minister; I think that's inappropriate. But suffice it to say that President Abbas made a passionate argument to me about the prisoners, and I think the government in Israel has a full understanding of the potency of that issue.
With respect to --
QUESTION: The Arab Peace Initiative.
SECRETARY KERRY: -- the question of the Arab Peace Initiative, let me make this very clear. I actually am happy to have the question because I've wanted to have a chance to clarify a couple of things that I've been reading. Number one, no, I have not made any proposals to change it. It's not my initiative to change; it belongs to King Abdullah and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that made the initial proposal, and to the Arabs, the Arab League, and the Arab community that has – Arab and Muslim community that has adopted it. It is a very important initiative, free-standing on its own. And what is important about it is that it suggests in its own language a way forward for the Arab world to make peace with Israel. And as such, it remains a very important statement.
Now, it may not be that in its current format it is a basis for a negotiation or for – it is a – the foundation of the way in which negotiations can take place, but any statement, any document where you have a proposal for peace and where you have dozens of Arab countries, Muslim countries, willing to make peace, needs to be taken at its value and should be respected. And it is an important contribution to the overall dialogue. And that's the way I think it ought to be reflected.
Now, I will be meeting in a matter of weeks with a delegation from the Arab League that will come to Washington. I'm confident they will want to discuss components of it. But in the end, the parties themselves, Israel and the Palestinians, need to come to the table, and this is a negotiation between them, and they need to work out the details of which agreement they want to work off of, or what language they want to work off of, and where they want to proceed.
Clearly, this is one of the things that I am working on in the context of laying the groundwork so that we can bring people to the table with a clear understanding of what we're beginning on, of what we're trying to do, and of where we want to wind up. And those are the things that require time and thought and care. And we will continue, as I said, to do our homework. Others will do their homework, and when we've done our homework, I'm confident we're going to be in a position to be make some progress and move forward."

I've lost my frog...
... And I can't figure out why. I would assume my PH levels got off balance, but it's so hard to tell.
Robert was fine and dandy yesterday, he ate his food, swam around actively, and seemed pretty content. This evening I pop in and notice he's aying front and center in the tan, on his back, dead.
He's got a sore on his side that's red, and I'm not sure of he bumped something bad. He's not emaciated, and I've been doing water changes regularly. (For about a month 25%-30%) and for the past week haven't had a chance to test the PH of it, I ran out of strips and since I've been busy with midterms and the petstore is out of the way from college and work I haven't picked any up.
I can look at his hand and it looks like there is a little bit of a white fungus on him, I'm not sure if that happened before or after death. I also notice tank water has been evaporating rapidly within the past two days so I don't know if that upset his levels or not?
Any help for a distraught froggy owner?

Panel to explore library research skills
Posted May 11, 2009; 07:28 p.m.
A panel discussion titled "Library Research Skills: Can They Be Taught? By Whom? When? How?" is set for 2 p.m. Monday, May 18, in 101 McCormick Hall.
Faculty members and librarians will examine a variety of issues related to teaching library research concepts and skills to students. Some of the questions to be addressed are:
- What library skills do you expect students to have when you create assignments requiring them to do research using library or other resources?
- What do the results of these assignments tell you about students' research skills?
- What strengths or weaknesses have you noticed?
- What do you think is the best way to remedy deficiencies? What is your ideal scenario for teaching Princeton students to do library research?
- Is there a minimum set of skills using library and information sources that all Princeton undergraduates should have before they graduate?
- When you were a student, how did you learn to do research?
Panelists will be: Simon Morrison, professor of music; Mary George, senior reference librarian; Marta Tienda, professor of sociology and public affairs; Bobray Bordelon, economics, finance and data services librarian; Catherine Peters, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering; and Steve Adams, biological and life sciences librarian.
The event is sponsored by the Princeton University Library.

Did some work on Sotonians last night. Finally dusted down the old schema and began work on a lower-level API for it. Basically, for each table I need the classic insert, modify, get and delete behaviour modelled. The biggest dilemma, however, is where to perform the error checking.
If I wanted, I could just pass stuff to the DB verbatim, and get it to report errors to me if values don't fit into the attributes they are assigned to. That can be costly, though. I don't really want the overhead of creating a DB connection if the end result is going to be fruitless.
Which leads us into option 2 - which is to provide program logic which will use the Perl regexp checking to make sure values fit before placing them inside. Makes for a much bigger API, but you can be reasonably sure that DB connections are worthwhile.
I did actually knock up a seventy-line Perl script to analyze my DB schema and provide template methods for insertion, modification, deletion and retrieval. This had type checking built-in, so if something was NOT NULL, it'd produce a check to make sure that particular attribute has been supplied as a parameter. It also spawned little regexp and length checks to ensure that INTEGERs were correct, and that VARCHARs had a sensible number of characters in them.
The problem with the generated code stems from the schema. The DB is heavily normalised, which results in the same attribute being present in a lot of other tables. In each table method, the same code was being used to check the same attribute again and again. The generated API weighed in at something like 1200 lines, which is a maintenance bitch. So, whilst my DB API generator was a nice idea ( and a hairy coding experience - nice lot of escape sequences ) I'm now thinking about taking an alternative approach.
I plan to wrap all the attribute checks into a single method, which can be called from the insertion, modify, retrieval and delete functions. I'm also thinking of parameterising those functions to enable me to have just one routine for insertion, one for modification, etc.
Still, a damn useful prototyping session, and something that ought to bear fruit regardless of it's apparent failure.

Yamato and Wicky Draw at Dynamite
- Written by Dave Walsh
The final K-1 fight at Dynamite!! 2010 featured K-1's 63kg Grand Prix champion Tetsuya Yamato facing Dream fighter Akiyo "Wicky" Nishiura. It wasn't a fight that received a lot of hype heading into the show, but turned out to be a very entertaining affair.
Through the first two rounds, the fighters were mostly even, with Wicky perhaps edging out a slight advantage by using his speed and unorthodox style to keep tagging Yamato. Open scoring was on, and all judges gave the first two rounds 10-10. With no extension rounds at Dynamite!!, the fight came down to the 3rd.
Both men really stepped up their game in that 3rd round, turning in a fun final stanza. Nishiura reverted to some of his MMA habits, making things a bit sloppy at times, but both men kept the speed up, working hard to take the win. In the closing minute, Yamato finally started to land, rocking Wicky and stumbling him. Great ending to the fight there and some of the best action of the night so far.
I thought that final exchange earned Yamato the round and the win, but only one judge saw it that way. The other two again went 10-10, resulting in a majority draw. That's not a great result for Yamato, who sould have been able to defeat the MMA fighter, but it was the kind of fight that will earn both men new fans regardless of the outcome.

Although number theorists have sometimes shunned and even disparaged computation in the past, today's applications of number theory to cryptography and computer security demand vast arithmetical computations. These demands have shifted the focus of studies in number theory and have changed attitudes toward computation itself.
The important new applications have attracted a great many students to number theory, but the best reason for studying the subject remains what it was when Gauss published his classic Disquisitiones Arithmeticae in 1801: Number theory is the equal of Euclidean geometry--some would say it is superior to Euclidean geometry--as a model of pure, logical, deductive thinking. An arithmetical computation, after all, is the purest form of deductive argument.
Higher Arithmetic explains number theory in a way that gives deductive reasoning, including algorithms and computations, the central role. Hands-on experience with the application of algorithms to computational examples enables students to master the fundamental ideas of basic number theory. This is a worthwhile goal for any student of mathematics and an essential one for students interested in the modern applications of number theory.

"Clean and elegant in the way it communicates with the reader, the mathematical spirit of this book remains very close to that of C.F. Gauss in his 1801 Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, almost as though Gauss had revised that classic for 21st-century readers."

By M. Scott Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
The people in charge of Reed's GumTree Bookstore in downtown Tupelo know its place, which is between Jackson and Oxford on the authors' map.
When writers schedule book tours through Mississippi, Lemuria Books in Jackson and Square Books in Oxford are natural stops.
"We get them to stop here on their way between the two. That's why a lot of our signings are at noon," said Camille Sloan, manager of Reed's gift shop and bookstore. "When they come through Mississippi, they come to us as well."
The bookstore has carved out its own niche since 1984, when Jack Reed Sr. and his brothers paid $50,000 to buy the stock from a paperback store.
"I thought that was a lot of money at the time," said Reed, chairman of the board. "We were going to give it a chance and see how it went. We wanted to make us a destination store."
Charlie McGill's bookstore was located at GumTree's current site. Reed's took over the lease and later bought the building.
The idea from the start was to get away from the paperback business and focus mostly on hardbacks.
"It fit the image of the store," Reed said.
The profits weren't rolling in at first, though Reed was quick to add that the store wasn't bleeding money, either.
No one knew at the time, but the store's fortunes were about to change when a newly published author spoke at the Lee County Library. GumTree took a chance and added his book to its inventory.
"A Time to Kill" didn't exactly jump off the shelves, but John Grisham's next book, "The Firm," became an international best-seller, and the author hasn't forgotten that early support.
During a 2009 interview with the Daily Journal, Grisham said the reason is simple.
"I was turned away from a lot of stores which is not unusual," he said. "There were a handful of stores in this area that not only said yes, but enthusiastically had book parties, and GumTree was one of them. So it's always been easy to come back to Tupelo."
Fans once lined up around the block for a chance to meet Grisham and get their books signed. Some of them camped out overnight.
He no longer does public signings, but he signs about 2,000 copies of each new book for the store.
"John Grisham made it profitable," Reed said. "Seriously, if you can count on selling 2,000 to 2,500 books in a season, you're doing well."
Attracting writers
Grisham's ongoing support helps the bookstore in other ways.
"When you tell someone John Grisham has been here, it gets their attention," Sloan said.
The GumTree primarily focuses on Southern writers, though others are welcome. Willie Morris drew big crowds in his day, and Natchez-based writer Greg Iles has been the second-best seller behind Grisham.
Jack Cristil's self-titled autobiography has flown off the shelves lately, as has "Tupelo Man," a book about George McLean written by his son-in-law, Robert Blade.
"A lot of times, someone will have a connection with an author they love and want to bring them here," Sloan said.
People who've written books about Elvis Presley schedule their signings at the King of Rock 'n' Roll's hometown during the Elvis Presley Festival.
The GumTree keeps a black and white cut-out of Elvis near the front window of the store, where visiting authors sit and sign their books.
"All the authors want to have their pictures made with Elvis," said Catherine Mize, assistant manager.
"Karl Rove was the cutest one," Sloan added. "He had his lip curled and everything."
Some authors draw big crowds, and others don't. That's not necessarily a reflection on the quality of a particular author's work.
"The best authors nationwide can have the worst signings because they don't have friends here," Sloan said. "You just hate it, but it's about relationships."
Mize said that even without crowds at the store, a signing still makes sense for authors and the store.
"A lot of times they will sign copies they bring and we always end up selling them," she said. "It may not be at the book signing, but the book signing is a catalyst for sales."
"Even if they can't attend the signing, people call ahead and we'll have 10 books sold before the author gets here," said Susan May, bookstore manager.
Neil White, author of "Sanctuary of Outcasts" and publisher of "Mississippians" and other books, said he appreciates the hospitality at GumTree during signings.
"They just come to visit. They talk to you. They're happy to come over and sit down and chat with you," he said. "They're just nice people and make you feel at home."
It's common for Reed, an avid reader, to visit with the authors.
"When the owner comes down and sits with you to talk, that's special," White said.
Looking forward
The book business is going through serious changes, and the future is fuzzy. As Reed said, "We don't make any money off Kindles."
Children's books and coffee table books are consistent sellers at GumTree, and they're the type of reading material people like to get their hands on. It's hard to see how they'd make the jump to Kindles and other eReaders.
But the digital revolution is here to stay. Reed and the rest are hopeful their bookstore is positioned well.
After all, Grisham can't sign a digital screen, and it's relatively easy for authors to swing by Tupelo between stops at Lemuria Books and Square Books.
"When a customer leaves here," Reed said, "they have a keepsake. It's not just a book."

I'm generally a 12" collector but some character are really hard to come by. Hence, customising is the name of the game. I haven't customise a lot of 12" and in fact, only 2. Now, I'm doing a 12" Rebel Fleet Trooper - inspired by the soon to be release 3.75" RFT.
But the real reason for starting this thread is because I craved to see 12" customs from other 12" collectors / customiser. Anyone in this Forum specialise in this area, pls post here and with your website address so that I can visit and learn a thing or two. You can visit my homepage by just clicking the "www" icon below.
I know Rebelscum.com has a brilliant 12" customiser in Tony Diterlizzi (hope I spell his name right) and his works are my main source of inspirations.
Hear from you guys soon

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Game 1 of the best-of-three series is at 7 p.m. today on ESPN.
1. Defend cleanly
UCLA doesn't hit the ball well, batting .248 on the season and just .183 here in Omaha. But the Bruins have 69 stolen bases and can create ways to advance runners, and they average 4.7 runs per game. That usually leaves more than enough wiggle room for a strong pitching staff.
It's an opportunistic offense, so MSU can't afford any fielding mistakes.
2. Get it to the pen
All season, MSU has relied heavily on its bullpen. If the starters can log three or more innings of quality work, the coaches will be happy with that, because the relievers have rarely let the Bulldogs down.
MSU has the depth to match up in certain situations, or it can just let Chad Girodo and Ross Mitchell go for several innings.
3. Keep it loose
The Bulldogs know how to have fun off the field and in the dugout, which they believe helps them stay relaxed and focused on the field. On this biggest of stages, MSU can't tighten up – that just wouldn't be its style.

I guess they are shutting down the Senate over a simple disagreement.
In a little over 30 seconds on the Senate floor yesterday, Republican leader Mitch McConnell demonstrated everything that's broken in the United States Senate.
A little after noon eastern time, McConnell rose to object to Majority Leader Harry Reid's motion to confirm several Obama Administration officials, including appointees with jurisdiction over issues of national security.
By objecting to Reid's motion, McConnell effectively subjected the nominees to a filibuster, raising the threshold for confirmation to 60 votes (the only way to override his objection on the Senate floor is to invoke cloture on Reid's motion). With the swearing-in of Scott Brown, Republicans now have 41 votes, so as long as they hold together, McConnell's objection cannot be overridden on the Senate floor.
As if that isn't broken enough, McConnell also admitted that he didn't know why he was objecting to Reid's motion other than he was doing it on behalf of Richard Shelby, the Republican Senator from Alabama, who was in some sort of dispute with the Obama administration.
Of course, we now know what Shelby wants. Later in the day, his office released a statement indicating that the primary motivation for Shelby's hostage taking was his desire to see the Pentagon's aerial refueling tanker contract go to the European aerospace giant EADS instead of the American firm Boeing. Shelby wants EADS to get the contract because some of manufacturing work would be done in his home state of Alabama.McCONNELL: Madam President, reserving the right to object, and I'm going to do that, I just wanted to indicate that Senator Shelby has been in discussions with the administration over an issue with which I'm not terribly familiar and I believe that that is the genesis of his objection. He is not able to be here at the moment to state his position. Maybe we can, in discussions with him, make some progress on these, sooner rather than later, but for the moment I'm constrained to object on his behalf.
It's stunning that a senator would be willing to shut down the process of confirming administration appointees simply to help a foreign firm win a military contract. But it's also amazing that Mitch McConnell, the GOP's leader in the Senate, carried Shelby's water without understanding what Shelby was up to or trying to accomplish.

You Might Be Wondering..Who is Gregory Tony?
- Written by Rian Scalia
So you're all hyped for It's Showtime Lyon on May 14. You're hearing all this talk about the return of Badr Hari and how this is the most stacked card of the year. You look into the card a bit more, browse through all the great match ups and you see Badr Hari vs. ...Gregory Tony? Who could this be?
Many people technically don't know him. If you look around you can see that no one's even sure of his real name. Take a look around the internet and you'll notice that you'll find about half of the results are for Tony Gregory and the other half are for Gregory Tony. I guess those are the troubles you encounter when you have two first names as your name. It's Showtime lists him as Tony Gregory. In his recent big time boxing match against Robert Helenius, he was listed as Gregory Tony. We can indeed confirm that his name is Gregory Tony.
So let's get to the question. Who is Gregory Tony? Gregory Tony is a 6'5, 230lb Super Heavyweight fighter from France who will be taking on Badr Hari, May 14th in Lyon for It's Showtime.
Early in his career in the mid to late 1990s Tony fought around France, becoming the Muaythai champion of the country in 1996, 1999 and 2000 and Kickboxing champ in 1995, 1996 and 2000. In 2001, Tony started fighting in K-1 with a disqualification win over Swedish fighter Jorgen Kruth. The next year he went on to win the K-1 World Grand Prix 2002 in Marseilles tournament with 3 straight wins over Karim Aouaden, Phillipe Gomis and Azem Matsukaj. The next year in 2003, Tony would again win another K-1 tournament, this time winning the K-1 World Grand Prix Preliminary France with Daniel Waciakowski, Fabrice Bernardin and again Azem Matsukaj in the final for the second year in a row.
For the next few years, Tony went on to fight for K-1 all over Europe, facing names such as Alexander Ustinov twice, Humberto Evora, Vitali Akhramenko and Patrice Quarteron. In 2006 he split two fights with Daniel Ghita, knocking Ghita out in the first encounter and being knocked out by a right hook from Ghita in the rematch.
The year 2006 was also the year Gregory Tony started his professional boxing career. Tony would go back and forth between boxing and kickboxing from the end of 2006 until 2008, racking up a 9-0 record in boxing and getting a win over Alexey Ignashov and a loss to Zabit Samedov in kickboxing. Tony moved more towards boxing in 2009 with 3 wins, improving his record to 12-0. At the end of 2009, he came back to kickboxing and fought to a draw over 5 rounds with Fabrice Aurieng, still retaining his WKBC Heavyweight title. That was the last time he would fight in kickboxing.
In August of 2010, after not having fought in any combat sports for 9 months, Gregory Tony returned for the biggest boxing match of his career. At this point, he was ranked one of the best heavyweights in all of France. Facing Robert Helenius of Finland, one of the biggest up and coming fighters in boxing. Tony was dropped in rounds 3, 4, 5 and 6 when the fight was finally stopped. Tony continued with boxing this year, picking up a win each in March and April.
Just last night, mere hours ago, Gregory Tony fought in the British "Prizefighter" International Heavyweight Tournament. He defeated Russian journeyman of both boxing and kickboxing, Evgeny Orlov by controversial split decision in the first round. In the second round, he was stopped in the first round by Cuban-Irish Mike Perez. Now you may be thinking..Wait, he got stopped in the first round, how is he fighting Badr Hari in a week? Well, supposedly he had hurt his arm when he was dropped but many people are questioning that and think he may have just been looking for a way out. We'll never know but as of now he is still fighting Badr Hari.
And that leaves us where we are right now. A week away from It's Showtime Lyon on May 14th. In kickboxing, Gregory Tony is coming off a longer layoff than Badr Hari. He's been keeping active in boxing but you have to wonder if this whole time he's even been training kickboxing or just focusing solely on boxing.
Here's some fight videos of Gregory Tony:
