An promise, on which you can apply array methods. For when you are sure the promise will return an array!
npm install arraypromise

Version | 0.1.7 last updated 5 months ago |
License | GLP v2.0 |
Keywords | promises, array |
Repository | https://github.com/dralletje/ArrayPromise.git (git) |
Bugs | https://github.com/dralletje/ArrayPromise/issues |
Dependencies | kew, async, underscore |
A Promise that acts just like an array, as you can invoke map and sort on it.. with chaining!
It implement all methods that async (https://github.com/caolan/async) supports, except reject, which is renamed to arrayReject. It also add supports for promises in any aspect of interaction with this api, and so with the async api. All based on the kew (https://github.com/Obvious/kew) promise implementation, but should work with like every Promises/A+ implementation that uses reject and resolve, or even the ones who don't (did not check that :s). Small example to show his promise-full-ness:
Q = require 'kew'
require('arraypromise').install(Q.defer().constructor) # Install does add the 'array' method on the given promise prototype
defered = Q.defer() # Create a new promise
defered.array.map( (value) -> # Notice there is no callback, still it's async
Q.resolve value*7 # Make it return a promise, just to show promise-compatibility
).then (result) -> # The result of .map() is also just a promise! :D
console.log result # log the result
r = Q.resolve # Shortcut for making promises of values
defered.resolve [r 1, r 2, r 3, r 4] # Resolve the promise with promises of 1, 2, 3 and 4
It is promised all over the place, ALL OVER! Awesome, isn't it? :D

To draft a QB or not to draft a QB, that is the question facing Jets' GM John Idzik. Does the front office have faith that Sanchez can turn things around in the Big Apple, or will New York look to draft its signal-caller of the future? The Jets issues run a lot deeper than quarterback Mark Sanchez writes Green and White Report's Andrew Soares.

Consumer Reports Declares Lexus Most Reliable Car Brand
Toyota took the second spot with Acura rounding out the top three. What about Scion? Well...
They didn't too too well. They've dropped several points this year. They're not at the bottom, but Scion has been fighting electronic and mechanical bugbears. Lexus have had no such issues and as a result, they've been kicking ass.Even their hybrids were ranked well. The ES300h was given special mention in Consumer Reports' article. Overall the results are good for Lexus and good for Toyota. You can see what other cars filled out the list in detail on their site here. Of course, it's important to take what you hear on the internet with a grain of salt. Let us know what you think of CRs assessment in the comments below!

This is actually my 2nd phone. First one had a mic issue. I noticed that when I have a charger plugged into the phone, the phone's touch screen starts "tweeking" on me. By tweeking I mean:
If I long press an app to move it around on the home screen it starts flickering around as if I was multitouching. I know it has something to do with the charger being plugged in to it, since I tested by plugging and unplugging the charger and it didn't do it when no power was supplied.
Also I have tested multiple chargers so I know it isn't the charger.
Anyone else have this issue?

Syrian rebels: Iran and Russia can't participate in Geneva II conference
The Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army on Monday rebuffed the participation of Syria's allies in the proposed Geneva II conference aimed to end the 31-month Syrian conflict.
"We will not sit down on the negotiation table with those who have blood on their hands. We consider Russia, China, Iran and [Lebanese Shiite group] Hezbollah as the regime's partners," FSA said in a statement.
While Hezbollah has sent fighters to battle rebels alongside Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces, Russia and China have long vetoed resolutions threatening Damascus.
FSA said its conditions must be fulfilled if Syrian opposition to join the proposed peace talks.
"Geneva II lacks real incentives and a clear road map," the statement said, adding that there needs to be guarantees from Muslim and Arabic countries before the start of the peace talks.
The rebel army said what has been agreed in Geneva I must be fulfilled before entering any negotiations. Geneva II is meant to decide on how to implement a declaration agreed by the major powers in Geneva in June 2012. The declaration stated that there should be a transitional government in Syria.
FSA said shelling against "Syrian cities and villages must stop; blockades on besieged areas must end."
"Assad must cede power and his regime members must be tried for all the crimes they committed against Syrians, and transfer of power to form a transitional government must take place," the statement added.
The rebel army's statement comes after U.N.-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi arrived in Damascus on Monday, as part of the next leg of his regional tour to garner support for a peace conference on Syria.
Brahimi flew in to Beirut from Tehran and was to travel overland to Damascus the same day, making his first visit to Syria since last December, Agence France-Presse reported.
The envoy arrived at the Sheraton hotel accompanied by Syrian deputy foreign minister Faisal Moqdad.
In Tehran, Brahimi said it was "necessary" for Iran, a key ally of the Damascus regime, to take part in the Geneva II conference.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is still to name a formal date for the proposed meeting despite comments from some Syrian and Arab nation officials suggesting the talks could be held late next month.
Russia and the United States have been pushing for peace talks to find a political solution in the Syria conflict but it has been repeatedly delayed.
On Monday, Russia described as "outrageous" a threat by Syrian opposition groups against those who attend Syria peace talks.
"It is outrageous that some of these extremist, terrorist organizations fighting government forces in Syria are starting to make threats," Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was quoted as saying by AFP.
"The threats are directed at those who have the courage to attend the proposed Geneva conference being offered by Russia and the United States with the entire world's support."
A statement was released on Sunday by 22, mostly, Islamist brigades fighting to topple Syrian Assad saying the proposed conference "is not, nor will it ever be our people's choice or our revolution's demand."
The opposition groups went on to say that anyone who attends such talks would be committing "treason" and "would have to answer for it before our courts," according to AFP.
Under pressure from the West, the National Coalition opposition group is to meet on Nov. 9 to decide whether to take part in the peace conference.
But it has insisted it will only do so if there are guarantees Assad will step down, and its leader Ahmad al-Jarba has also said no talks can take place unless the regime frees women and children from its jails.
Top Headlines
The Syrian rebels are becoming more extremest and ridiculous with the passage of time. The only recourse if they refuse to participate in Geneva ll on the basis of their above comments as for the world to come together and assist in their defeat and removal from Syria while demanding that Assad follow through on his previously stated promise of elections and reforms.

The contribution of government transfer programs to inequality. A net-benefit approach
The contribution of government transfer programs to inequality is often assessed by analyzing to what extent the benefits paid go to lower income families. Several analysts have found that some key government transfers actually go mostly to middle and high income families and thus contribute to greater inequality. We argue in this paper that the impact of these programs on inequality should be evaluated considering the benefits received net of the taxes paid by households to finance the programs, since higher income households receive higher benefits but they also pay higher taxes. We illustrate this approach by estimating the impact of three government programs on inequality in Uruguay and show that the conclusions are different depending on whether we use gross or net benefits in the estimation.Download Info

The Android client library provides a Java interface for the Gigya API. The library makes it simple to integrate Gigya's service in your Android application. This document is a practical step-by-step guide for programmers who wish to integrate the Gigya service into their Android application. Follow the steps below to get started, and use the Library Reference while implementing.
For your assistance, we provide a simple demo project for Eclipse, which includes a basic Gigya SDK integration.
Note: Android SDK requires Android 2.2 and above.
Note: If you wish to integrate the Gigya service in your server application, please refer to our Server Side SDKs and choose the SDK that suits your development platform.
Download the SDK zip file:
If you are upgrading from a former version, please make sure to read the SDK's Change Log.
Library Guide
Please follow these steps to integrate Gigya's Android library:
- Download the SDK zip file (above).
- Add to AndroidManfiest.xml
- Gigya Setup - obtain your Gigya API key
- Initialization
- Logging in the User
- Use Gigya's API - Send Requests
Add to AndroidManfiest.xml
Paste the following lines in your app's AndroidManfiest.xml, and make sure you replace "YOUR-PACKAGE-NAME" with the package of your MainActivity:
<activity android:name="com.gigya.socialize.android.ui.HostActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" /> <activity android:name="com.gigya.socialize.android.login.providers.WebLoginActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:allowTaskReparenting="true" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /> <data android:scheme="YOUR-PACKAGE-NAME" android:host="gsapi" /> </intent-filter> </activity>
Modify the application manifest to allow the application to make network calls. Do this by adding the following to the AndroidManifest.xml file in the app project:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"> </uses-permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"> </uses-permission>
Gigya Setup - Obtain Your Gigya API Key
Go to the Site Dashboard page on Gigya's website. Follow the instructions in the Gigya's Setup guide to setup your application and obtain a Gigya API key.
Important: Please make sure to check the Enable Mobile or Desktop Client Applications API Access checkbox in the Permissions page.
The GSAPI class is the central class of the Gigya Android SDK. GSAPI is a singleton class that provides access to the Gigya SDK services.
As a first step for using Gigya service, insert the following code in your MainActivity's onCreate method:
GSAPI.getInstance().initialize(this, "YOUR-API-KEY");
Logging in the User
The first interaction with Gigya must always be logging in. If the user is not logged in, you cannot access her social profile nor perform social activities, such as setting her status. The quickest way to implement logging-in is using the showLoginUI
method of class GSAPI. The method opens a login user interface, which presents a selection of providers' icons, enabling the user to login via his social network account. Here is a screenshot of the Login UI:
The following code displays the Login UI (with default preferences):
// Present the Login user interface. GSAPI.getInstance().showLoginUI(null, null, null);
Note: If you wish to implement the graphic design by yourself, use the login
method instead.
The following providers currently support the login operation: Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Microsoft Messenger, Google, Google+, LinkedIn, AOL, FourSquare, Orkut, Instagram, Renren, Tencent QQ, Sina Weibo, Kaixin, Vkontakte, WordPress, Blogger, Typepad, Paypal, Amazon, liveJournal, Hyves, VeriSign, OpenID, Netlog, Signon, Orange France, mixi, Yahoo JAPAN, Odnoklassniki, Spiceworks, Livedoor, Skyrock, VZnet, Xing.
Registering for Gigya Global Events
The Gigya SDK provides two global event listeners that handle session changes, based on whether you are using Gigya's Social Login package (GSSocializeEventListener) or Registration-as-a-Service package (GSAccountsEventListener).
For example, using GSSocializeEventListener:
GSAPI.getInstance().setSocializeEventListener(new GSSocializeEventListener() { @Override public void onLogin(String provider, GSObject user, Object context) { // User was logged in } @Override public void onLogout(Object context) { // User was logged out } @Override public void onConnectionAdded(String provider, GSObject user, Object context) { // Social connection has been added to the user } @Override public void onConnectionRemoved(String provider, Object context) { // Social connection was removed from the user } });
Sending a Request
After you have logged in the user, you may use the GSAPI to access the user profile and perform various activities. This is implemented using GSAPI's sendRequest
method. The following code sends a request to set the current user's status to "I feel great":
// Step 1 - Defining request parameters GSObject params = new GSObject(); params.put("status", "I feel great"); // set the "status" parameter to "I feel great" // Step 2 - Defining response listener. The response listener will handle the request's response. GSResponseListener resListener = new GSResponseListener() { @Override public void onGSResponse(String method, GSResponse response, Object context) { try { if (response.getErrorCode()==0) { // SUCCESS! response status = OK System.out.println("Success in setStatus operation."); } else { // Error System.out.println("Got error on setStatus: " + response.getLog()); } } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } }; // Step 3 - Sending the request String methodName = "socialize.setStatus"; GSAPI.getInstance().sendRequest(methodName, params, resListener, null);
Step 1: Define the Request Parameters
Create a GSObject instance and fill it with parameters. There are two ways to define the parameters:
1. Construct a GSObject from a JSON string. For example:
GSObject params = new GSObject("{param1:'value1', param2:'value2', param3:'value3',...}");
2. Construct an empty GSObject and add parameters using the put method:
GSObject params = new GSObject(); params.put("param1", "value1"); params.put("param2", "value2"); params.put("param3", "value3"); ...
When a parameter is a complex object, you can use compound GSObjects or a JSON string as the value. See the example below.
Note: You can find the list of available Gigya API methods and the list of parameters per each method in the REST API reference.
Step 2: Define the Response Listener
To define a response listener, define a class that implements the GSResponseListener interface. The onGSResponse method implementation should handle the response.
class MyResponseHandler implements GSResponseListener { @Override public void onGSResponse(String method, GSResponse response, Object context) { // Handle response here... } }
The GSResponse object includes data fields. For each request method the response data fields are different. Please refer to the Gigya REST API reference for the list of response data fields per method.
For example - handling a 'getUserInfo' response:
The response of 'getUserInfo' includes a 'user' object.
class UserInfoResponseHandler implements GSResponseListener { @Override public void onGSResponse(String method, GSResponse response, Object context) { // Handle response here... try { if (response.getErrorCode() == 0) { // SUCCESS! response status = OK String nickname = response.getString("nickname",""); // Second parameter gets default value String age= response.getInt("age"); alert("User name: " + nickname + "; The user's age: " + age); } else { alert("Got error on getUserInfo: "+response.getLog()); } } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } }
Step 3: Sending the Request
Execute the sendRequest
GSAPI.getInstance().sendRequest("socialize.setStatus", params, resListener, null);
The parameters of the method are:
- method - the Gigya API method name. Please refer to the REST API reference for the list of available methods.
- params - the parameters object that you have created in Step 1.
- listener - the response listener object that you have created in Step 2.
- context - an optional object that is passed back with the response.
Example - Publishing User Action
The following code sample sends a request to publish a user action to the newsfeed stream on all the connected providers that support this feature.
The socialize.publishUserAction method has a complex parameter called userAction, which defines the user action data to be published. To define the userAction parameter create a GSObject object and fill it with data. There are two ways to fill the GSObject with data; you can either use the put method or construct the GSObject with a JSON string, as shown in the two examples below:
Option A - Using GSObject's put Method
// 1. Defining request parameters GSObject userAction = new GSObject(); userAction.put("title", "This is my title"); userAction.put("userMessage", "This is my user message"); userAction.put("description", "This is my description"); userAction.put("linkBack", "http://google.com"); GSArray mediaItems = new GSArray(); mediaItems.add(new GSObject("{\"src\":\"http://www.f2h.co.il/logo.jpg\", \"href\":\"http://www.f2h.co.il\",\"type\":\"image\"}")); userAction.put("mediaItems", mediaItems); GSObject params = new GSObject(); params.put("userAction", userAction); // set the "userAction" parameter // 2. Sending 'socialize.publishUserAction' request GSAPI.getInstance().sendRequest("socialize.publishUserAction", params, null, null);
Option B - Using a JSON String
// Defining the userAction parameter GSObject userAction = new GSObject("{\"title\":\"This is my title\", \"userMessage\":\"This is a user message\", \"description\":\"This is a description\", \"linkBack\":\"http://google.com\", \"mediaItems\":[ {\"src\":\"http://www.f2h.co.il/logo.jpg\", \"href\":\"http://www.f2h.co.il\",\"type\":\"image\"}]}"); GSObject params = new GSObject(); params.put("userAction", userAction); // set the "userAction" parameter // 2. Sending 'socialize.publishUserAction' request GSAPI.getInstance().sendRequest("socialize.publishUserAction", params, null, null);
To learn more about publishing user actions, please read the Advanced Sharing guide.
Configuring Native Login
Adding Facebook Native Login
Adding Facebook native login to your Android app is mandatory if you want to login via Facebook. Please follow the first 3 steps of Facebook's instructions on Facebook SDK for Android (1. Install the prerequisites, 2. Install the Facebook SDK for Android and the Facebook APK, 3. Import the SDK into Eclipse). Also open and configure a Facebook application (step 5 in Facebook SDK for Android).
Adding Google+ Native Login
Android enables users to set their Google account on their device. Android applications can access the native account to authenticate the user without requiring the user to enter their credentials. We recommend utilizing this functionality on your Android app.
Adding Google+ native login to your Android device is optional, and if you choose to add it, please follow the first 3 steps of Google's instructions at Google+ platform for Android (1. Enable the Google+ API, 2. Configure your Eclipse project, 3. Declare permissions).
Integrating Your Site with the Android SDK
GSWebBridge connects between the Gigya JavaScript SDK and the Gigya Android SDK. Any WebView can be attached to the web bridge. Doing this provides the following benefits:
- Session state will be synchronized. If the user is logged in and the session is active in the Android SDK - he will be automatically logged in in the JS SDK.
- Any API requests by the JS SDK will be routed through the Android SDK, using the Android SDK session.
- Any login process invoked by the JS SDK will be handled by the Android SDK, creating a seamless login experience - using the web browser or the provider's native login.
To register a web view, follow these steps:
- Call the attach method before the web view has started loading:
GSWebBridge.attach(webView, new GSWebBridgeListener() { ... });
- Add the following code to the beginning of your WebViewClient implementation's shouldOverrideUrlLoading method:
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webView, String url) { if (GSWebBridge.handleUrl(webView, url)) { return true; } }
- Detach the web view when finished:
Using Gigya Plugins in the Android SDK
GSPluginFragment is a custom fragment that renders Gigya JS Plugins and integrates them seamlessly with the Gigya Android SDK.
GSPluginFragment currently supports the following plugins, listed with their plugin name:
- Comments - comments.commentsUI
- Reviews - comments.commentsUI
- RaaS Screen-Sets - accounts.screenSet
You can either use showPluginDialog to display GSPluginFragment modally, or alternatively, for more control and customization, you can create an instance yourself and add it to your layout.
An example for using showPluginDialog to display GSPluginFragment modally:
GSObject params = new GSObject(); params.put("categoryID", "comments1"); params.put("streamID", "1"); params.put("captionText", "My Comments"); GSAPI.getInstance().showPluginDialog("comments.commentsUI", params, null, null);
An example for creating an instance yourself:
GSObject params = new GSObject(); params.put("categoryID", "comments1"); params.put("streamID", "1"); GSPluginFragment pluginFragment = GSPluginFragment.newInstance("comments.commentsUI", params); getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.my_layout, pluginFragment, "comments").commit();
You can also handle plugin events (for example, commentSubmitted) by implementing the GSPluginListener interface and passing it as a parameter.
For more information see reportDeepLink in the reference guide.
Advanced Topics
Site Login - Synchronizing with Gigya Service
When a user authenticates using your existing login form or when a new user registers using site registration, it is important to notify Gigya of the user's new state, so as to provide consistent user experience and have access to Gigya's API. The following chart diagram illustrates the implementation:
- Steps 1-3: your standard site login/registration flow.
- Step 4: call the socialize.notifyLogin API method. Pass the following parameters:
- siteUID - set this parameter with the user ID that you have designated for this user in your database. The notifyLogin call registers a new user in Gigya in case the siteUID provided is new, or reconnects a returning user in case the siteUID already exists in our records.
- newUser - If it is a new user set the newUser parameter to 'true'. This will enable Gigya to distinguish between a new site user and a returning site user, allowing Gigya to analyze users' login/registration behavior with or without Social Login and compare the ratio.
- Step 5: the notifyLogin response data includes the following fields: sessionToken and sessionSecret.
The following code is the implementation of steps 4,5 using Gigya's Java SDK:// Define the API-Key and Secret key (the keys can be obtained from your site setup page on Gigya's website). final String apiKey = "PUT-YOUR-APIKEY-HERE"; final String secretKey = "PUT-YOUR-SECRET-KEY-HERE"; // Defining socialize.notifyLogin request String methodName = "socialize.notifyLogin"; GSRequest request = new GSRequest(apiKey, secretKey, method); request.put("siteUID", "12345"); // The ID you have designated to this user request.put("targetEnv", "mobile"); request.put("newUser", true); // whether or not this user is new (registration vs login) GSResponse response = request.send(); if (response.getErrorCode() == 0) { String sessionToken = response.getString("sessionToken"); String sessionSecret = response.getString("sessionSecret"); /* send the sessionToken & sessionSecret to the client app ... */ } else { System.out.println("Got error on notifyLogin: " + response.getLog()); }
- Step 6: pass the sessionToken and sessionSecret to your client app.
- Step 7: create a session on your client app using the sessionToken and sessionSecret fields, so as to maintain the client application synchronized with the user state. Use the
GSAPI.setSession(GSSession session)
method:// Create and store a session String sessionToken; // value received from server String sessionSecret; // value received from server long expirationSeconds = 6 * 60 * 60; // The session will expire 6 hours from now (setting expiration time is optional) GSSession session = new GSSession(sessionToken, sessionSecret, expirationSeconds); gsAPI.setSession(session); // Store the session in the app's storage
- Step 8: As long as the session is valid (not expired and has valid token), the client app will have access to Gigya's API.
Tracking Deep Link Referrals
Verifying Signatures from Mobile Logins
The process for verifying UID signatures generated from logins via our mobile SDKs depends on whether your API key begins with 2_xxx (older) or 3_xxx (newer).
For API keys beginning with 2_xxx the process is as follows:
- Upon user login, grab the "accessToken" and "secret" from the getSession method of GSSession in your mobile SDK.
- Over HTTPS, pass this accessToken and secret to your application server.
- Call getUserInfo (without specifying a UID) passing the accessToken and secret as the API Key and Secret Key (respectively) to the Gigya API.
- Assuming the accessToken and secret that you received in iOS is valid, you will receive a valid response from the getUserInfo call.
For API keys beginning with 3_xxx the process is as follows:
- Upon user login, grab the UID, Signature, and Timestamp from the response and pass it to your application server.
- Use your SDK's SigUtils.validateUserSignature() method, passing in the data you received from step 1 and your Gigya secret key.
Eclipse Demo Project
We have created for your assistance a simple Eclipse project that integrates Gigya's Android SDK, with basic usage.

Nopales opening in Grandin delayed
Roanoke restaurateur Rocky Byrd had hoped to have his Mexican-Caribbean restaurant, Nopales, open by the end of April.
But as happens with many restaurant openings, Byrd has run into a multitude of problems that have set back the opening a couple months.
"It's been a little bit of a nightmare," he said.
A big issue has been with the kitchen equipment that Surf 'n Turf left behind when they closed in December. (A previous version of this blog post reported that Byrd was leasing the equipment from the landlord, but the equipment is not part of the lease.)
"Nearly every piece of equipment has had a problem," Byrd said. He's had to replace most of the equipment, which added a significant amount of wait time.
He also ran into problems with the building's plumbing and electrical system.
But perhaps the most shocking setback was when he discovered what he estimates to be 100 pounds of grease and oil in ducts between the stove vent and chimney.
The ducts ran parallel to the floor (instead of straight up) for 17 feet, Byrd said, and two to three inches of "very volitile oil and grease" was trapped in them, Byrd said.
He believes it had been nine years since the vents and ducts were serviced. Contributing to the mess was the roof fan which wasn't strong enough to pull everything out of the ducts.
"They guy who does that kind of work had never seen anything like it in his entire life," Byrd said.
Byrd promised his 12-year-old daughter he'd be open by early July.
"I'd like to live up to that promise," he said.
You can read more about the restaurant in this Retail Roundup column from February.

Boardwalk Empire: Sergio Martinez KO's Paul Williams
It was there that in December, even as he lost a disputed, non-title clash of southpaws to former three-time titlist Paul Williams in a fight where both boxers were down in the first round, Martinez left his adversary requiring stitches for lacerations around both eyes.
Martinez's stock rose even in defeat.
In April, Martinez dethroned Kelly Pavlik as WBC middleweight (160 pounds) champion by unanimous decision, even though he was out-weighed, 178-to-167, by fight time by a man who was seven years his junior.
Interest grew in Martinez, whose performance against Pavlik not only thrust him into the top 10, pound-for-pound, lists of a number of media outlets, but also made him a candidate for lucrative bouts opposite six-time titlist, Floyd Mayweather (41-0, 25 KOs), five-time champion Shane Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs), and, former belt-holder, Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27 KOs), the latter of whom knocked Martinez out in the seventh round in February of 2000.
Mosley, who was coming off of a loss to Mayweather after having stopped Margarito in the ninth round, turned down an offer from Martinez's promoter, Lou DiBella, of a 60-40 split in favor of Mosley "because he would have gotten murdered" by Martinez, DiBella contends.
After Martinez's performance in Saturday night's HBO televised rematch with Williams, it is hard to argue with DiBella's assertion.
Martinez felled the 6-foot-2 Williams like a tree with a single, crushing left hook, knocking him cold at 1:10 of the second round in the first defense of his WBC title before a stunned crowd of 5,502 at Boardwalk Hall.
The sudden end came when both fighters were trying to land left hooks. When Martinez's got there first, with a thud against Williams' lower, right jaw, its concussive force had Williams' eyes rolling long before he had pitched face forward onto the canvas where he lay motionless for about 45 seconds.
"This is the way that the cookie crumbles," said Williams. "He just caught me with a shot that I didn't see. That's the end of the story."
Referee Earl Morton knelt down and reached the count of seven before waving the fight off, even as Martinez donned a golden crown, ran toward a neutral corner, climbed the ropes and thrust his hands skyward in a jubilant celebration.
"This is like a dream. This is just the product of hard work and being in sports all of my life. I get paid to put on a good show, and that's what I do," said Martinez (46-2-2, 25 knockouts), who began his athletic career with his feet as a former cyclist and soccer player, didn't start boxing until the age of 20, and, at 35-years-old, continued to defy his age against the 29-year-old Williams (39-2, 27 KOs).
"This is the third time that Martinez has fought here at the Boardwalk Hall. He has fought Williams here twice, and he fought Pavlik here, and he's the greatest fighter that I have had the privledge of promoting," said DiBella during the post-fight press conference where he also called Martinez's effort a "Fighter of the Year" type of showing.
"It's also nice to see a guy who is Argentinian by birth, who has fought out of Spain, and who is reminding everybody what the American dream is all about," said DiBella. "A couple of years ago, no one knew who this guy was. And now, I believe that he is the greatest fighter in the world."
Martinez hopes to create demand for a potential match-up with Mayweather or WBO welterweight (147 pounds) titlist Manny Pacquiao (52-3-1, 38 KOs), who is coming off of last week's unanimous decision win over Margarito that earned him the WBC junior middleweight (154 pounds) crown that was vacated by Martinez. It was Pacquiao's eighth championship over as many weight divisions.
"Manny Pacquiao is too small. It would be a mismatch. I don't believe that it will ever happen," said Martinez, who wore Reyes gloves against Williams, which are considered to be conducive to scoring knockouts. "But Floyd Mayweather? Most likely, that would be a fight that we could make. He's a great fighter, and I would love to do it."
Martinez's manager, Sampson Lewkowicz, went even further.
"Sergio would never fight Manny Pacquiao," said Lewkowicz, "because [Martinez] would knock him out."
There is also an outside chance that Martinez could face Russian WBO middleweight champion Dmitry Pirog (17-0, 14 KOs), who is coming off of July's fifth-round knockout of Daniel Jacobs (20-1, 17 KOs) that earned him the crown that was vacated by Martinez.
"I'm hoping that it will not be so hard to find me a challenger," said Martinez. "I'm hoping that HBO will help me to find another one."
DiBella, for now, rules out a move to super middleweight (168 pounds) for potential challenges against the likes of Showtime televised fighters such as WBA champion Andre Ward (22-0, 13 KOs)) and southpaw IBF king Lucien Bute (27-0, 22 KOs).
"We'll fight anybody, but Sergio is not yet a 168-pounder. Bute is the big guy who generates the big money at 168 pounds, but frankly, Bute has got a three-fight deal with Showtime, and we're sticking with the people [HBO] who helped us to get where we are," said DiBella.
"So we can't fight Bute on Showtime, and, with respect to being a 168-pounder, if he has an unbelievable opportunity, Sergio would consider fighting King Kong," said DiBella. "But this is a guy who was really a 154-pounder who moved up to 160 out of necessity and grew himself into being a middleweight. Sergio will fight anybody, so don't ask him. I ain't going to let him do it."
Williams had complained that he was not properly prepared the first time around for Martinez, then, after having geared up for a potential bout with the right-handed Pavlik, who twice pulled out their scheduled match up with an injury.
As a result, Williams had only three weeks to train for the first bout against Martinez, who knew long before Williams that they were likely to meet.
Unlike the initial meeting, however, Williams spent the entire training camp knowing that Martinez was his opponent.
Williams even sparred with wily southpaw former world champion, Carlos Quintana, whose unanimous decision handed Williams his lone defeat before being stopped in the first round of their rematch.
But Martinez had discovered some mistakes in his opponent while sitting ringside for Williams' most recent victory, a short-lived, fourth-round, technical decision over Kermit Cintron that was determined by the judges' cards after Cintron fell out of the ring and did not return.
"Paul Williams was too wide open with his defense. I saw this happen, and I saw that as a way to score a knockout," said Martinez. "But I also use my speed in every fight. But there is nothing you can do in a fight without a good trainer."
In addition, on Thursday, Martinez's trainer, Gabriel Sarmiento, was having trouble sleeping -- not because he was nervous about the fight, but because he was anxious to jot down yet another error that he noticed Williams making in a video of their first fight.
Based on a discussion he had the next day with Martinez regarding Williams' newfound flaw, Sarmiento wrote down a new strategy in a notebook that Lewkowicz brought to the post-fight press conference as proof of the story.
The conclusion of the new approach was that Martinez would win by a second-round knockout, said Sarmiento.
"I found out, in the middle of the night, an error -- a very big one -- that Paul Williams was making. It kept me up all night, and then, the next morning, I changed the strategy totally because of it," said Sarmiento.
"All of the errors that he made in the first fight, we knew that he was going to do them again," said Sarmiento. "I was convinced of a new strategy two days ago, and so, I changed our program and wrote it up."
The mistake, said Sarmiento, was that Williams followed his jab by leaning forward and "putting his body in front of his [lead] leg," meaning that Williams' chin was often exposed as the fighter's right, jab-hand dropped after being deployed.
"If he didn't get his [right] hand back fast enough [for defense,]" said Sarmiento, "then we could let go with the left hand."
The strategy worked perfectly and devastatingly for Martinez, who said that he further goaded Williams into in-fighting by engaging in first-round clinches during which he would often bang the challenger to the body or club him to the head.
"We knew that Williams was going to attack us in the first round, so we used his aggression to set him up. And the second that I touched Paul Williams with that left hand shot, I knew that he was knocked out right there," said Martinez.
"After the jab, he puts his right foot way out in front of him. I knew that that would bring him closer to me," said Martinez. "So the only thing that I needed to do was to throw my left hand. It was a flush shot, and I felt it all the way up through my arm."
Williams said that he does not regret getting into a slug fest with Martinez.
"We were doing a lot of clinching, but the referee was breaking us up really good," said Williams. "But we were just going at it. I wasn't going to try boxing him or nothing, I was just going to make it the way that it is. And if we fight him again, I would do it the same way."
Martinez said that he felt "very comfortable" with the Reyes gloves, and that he would continue to use them.
"But really, the biggest error that Paul Williams made was to get into the ring with me and to stand in front of me," said Martinez. "But you know, I can't blame him, because that's what he had to do. I'm the best, and that's why I am the one who has the titles."

Ashton Eaton likes to compare decathlons to life — the ups and downs, the good and bad, the setbacks and comebacks.
Over two dreary days that finally closed with a bright ray of sunshine, Eaton found out just how good life can be.
He's the world-record holder in the decathlon, the cream of the crop in the hallowed and history-filled event that has long identified the world's greatest athlete.
Needing a personal best in the grueling finale, the 1,500 meters, to get the record, Eaton came through Saturday night in the U.S. Olympic trials, running the last event in 4 minutes, 14.48 seconds to finish with 9,039 points and beat Roman Sebrle's 11-year-old mark by 13 points.
"It's like living an entire lifetime in two days," Eaton said. "It doesn't mean that much to the rest of the world, but to me, it's my whole world. To do the best that I possibly could in my world makes me pretty happy."
Eaton joined the likes of Bruce Jenner, Dan O'Brien, Bob Mathias and Rafer Johnson among the Americans who have held the world record. He did it on the 100th anniversary of the first Olympic decathlon — and many of the American greats who have made history in the event were on hand to watch Eaton.
"I thought he showed some real courage," Johnson said. "He hung in there and figured out a way to win. He was brilliant in everything he did."
He won seven of the 10 events and did most of it in terrible weather — drizzle, rain, cold and then, finally, sunshine as he got ready for the final 1,500-meter push.
"It's like the 11th event," runner-up Trey Hardee, the defending world champion, said about the weather. "I hope when they put his name in the record books, they'll put every parenthesis, asterisk and every other mark you can put down. Every athlete out there tries to act like that stuff doesn't bother them, but it does."
Eaton, the 24-year-old and a former NCAA champion for University of Oregon, needed to beat his personal-best time of 4:18.94 in the 1,500 by at least 2.57 seconds to break the mark. He did that, and then some.
When it was over, he bent down and put his hands on his knees, then brought them up to cover his mouth. Tears were falling — elation and shock at the same time. Adding to the fun, he did it at Hayward Field, his home field in college and the site of some of his biggest triumphs. None, of course, any bigger than this one.
"It's a feeling that you get, even if you're off pace," Eaton said of the sensation he calls 'Hayward Magic.' "I was so tired before the 15 (hundred). I felt like sleeping. As soon as the gun is fired, it all goes away."
After the initial celebration ended, he took the mini American flag he'd been handed as a newly minted member of the U.S. Olympic team and stabbed it into the turf near the scoreboard that displayed his accomplishment: "World Record Decathlon. Ashton Eaton. 9,039 points." Photographers lined up for the historic shoot. Certainly, Eaton will own a copy or two by the time this celebration is over.
"The kid is phenomenal," said Bryan Clay, the defending Olympic champion, who fell in the hurdles and finished 12th. "There's no other way to describe him."
What to do for an encore?
We'll see in six weeks in London, where he'll go in as the favorite, along with Hardee, who finished 656 points back and was every bit as much a fan as an opponent when the last race was over.
"I don't think it changes anything for the Olympics," Hardee said. "It was his before we started yesterday and it still is now. It hasn't sunk in for Ashton. For me, it's something down the road that I'll tell my kids, my friends, my nephews about. I'll say, 'See, I saw it. I've got the pictures to prove it.'"
While Eaton earned his place in history, the women's 100 final provided a much less-concrete result.
After a long review, race officials determined Allyson Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh finished in a dead-heat for third place, each at 11.068 seconds. Only three spots are available at the Olympics and USA Track and Field officials huddled late into the night, trying to solve a problem for which there is no written solution. Carmelita Jeter won the race in 10.92.
Elsewhere, Lolo Jones' leaned at the finish line to earn the third and final Olympic spot in the 100 hurdles by 0.04 seconds. Dawn Harper won in 12.73. Tyson Gay made it through his first 100 heat cleanly, while LaShawn Merritt, Jeremy Wariner and Sanya Richards-Ross all advanced in the 400.
Nobody, however, covered more ground, or did it better, than Eaton.
He opened his pursuit Friday by setting world-best marks for the decathlon in his first two events, the 100 (10.21 seconds) and long jump (27 feet). He had a mark of 46 feet, 7 1/4 inches in shot put, cleared 6-8 3/4 in the high jump and ran the 400 in a driving rainstorm in 46.70 seconds to finish the first day in the mix for the world record.
He returned Saturday to more dreary weather, but didn't falter. The results: 13.70 seconds in the 110 hurdles, 140-5 inches in the discus, and 17-4 1/2 in the pole vault. His javelin throw of 193-1 meant he would need to top his personal best to set the world record.
The sun finally peaked out shortly before Eaton made it to the starting line, illuminating his green and black shirt and neon orange shoes. He waved to the crowd, toed the starting line, took an early lead, stayed on pace the entire time and crossed the line with nearly 2 seconds to spare.
Eaton also overtook O'Brien's American record of 8,891 points, which he set in 1992 — nine years before Sebrle became the first man to break 9,000 points.
"He didn't have any letdowns," O'Brien said. "It's real easy when you're way ahead to have that letdown. That's what separates him from even myself. I don't know if I would've run my guts out in the 1,500."
Eaton's record adds another chapter to a rich history of decathlon success in the United States.
Jim Thorpe won the first Olympic decathlon in 1912. In 1976, Jenner put the event squarely in the spotlight, winning the Montreal Olympics and becoming a celebrity when he returned home. He was on the front of the Wheaties box back then, and the fact that he's still on the front of it now — as part of a retro marketing campaign — speaks volumes about how far the event's stature has fallen over the last few decades.
But that hardly diminishes this latest accomplishment.
"It pleases me to be in that fraternity with a kid that carries on a great tradition in a very classy way," Johnson said.
All this, Eaton said, was more than he expected. He came to Eugene simply hoping to make his first Olympic team. He'll leave with a spot in the history books.
"It's not just numbers," he said. "It's all the little stuff that you guys don't get to see that kind of makes this thing possible. There's really very few words to describe it, so unfortunately, I'm brief in that respect."

This is a great price for this camera and 50x telephoto is amazing - you probably will need a tripod at times as I am not sure software can overcome the kind of movement you will see at that magnification.

Rep. Susan Fisher and Rep. Bruce Goforth are pleased to announce that Buncombe County will receive $5.3 million for a transportation project to aid in the state's economic recovery.
The project is one of eight in the state funded in this cycle by the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, or ARRA. These federal stimulus projects have a total value of more than $94.7 million.
The money allotted for the project will pay for the resurfacing and making safety improvements along 5.9 miles of I-240 from Exit 4 on I-240 just east of the bridges over the French Broad River to I-40, including the exit ramps, in Asheville. The $5.3 million contract was awarded to APAC-Atlantic Inc. of Asheville. Work can begin as early as March 29, with final completion set for Sept. 15, 2011.
"We need safer roads and we need good jobs. This investment helps with both," Rep. Fisher said. "It will be money well-spent."
"I am pleased that Asheville will receive these much needed funds to improve our roads and keep people safe while traveling," Rep. Goforth said. "The fact that it will also create jobs and stimulate the economy in North Carolina is the icing on the cake."
According to the Federal Highway Administration, every $1 million spent on transportation creates 30 jobs, and according to the construction industry, every dollar invested in transportation generates $6 in economic impact.

I honestly don't remember we ate at different ones and I left Detroit in 1980. I do remember buying smoked chunk kielbasa from Markowycz's on Michigan in Dearborn.

When Dave Grohl isn't working on his 'Sound City' documentary and jamming with Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, his former Nirvana bandmates or Paul McCartney, he's hanging out with his friends in Soundgarden to direct the band's latest video.
Perhaps the hardest working man in the world of rock, Dave Grohl's latest project is behind the camera, directing Soundgarden's upcoming video for 'By Crooked Steps.' Not a great deal of information has been released about the video's concept, but through a number of pictures posted on Soundgarden's Instagram page, 'By Crooked Steps' will showcase a biker theme.
Following a motorcycle club called "Crooked Steps," the patches on the back of biker gang members depicts the grim reaper armed with his trusty scythe, and if you look closely, you'll even see some patches with a middle finger flipping the bird. Scenes depicted in the available still images show frontman Chris Cornell playing a rousing game of cards, some seedy dive bar moments and shots of Soundgarden performing 'By Crooked Steps.'
Soundgarden are set to embark on a 2013 North American tour, beginning in New York City on Jan. 16 and concluding in Los Angeles on Feb. 16. Check out the full list of tour dates by clicking HERE

We are Australia's leading consumer organisation with over 160,000 members.
Set up by consumers for consumers, CHOICE is the consumer advocate that provides Australians with information and advice, free from commercial bias.
As vital today as when we were founded in 1959, CHOICE continues to fight for consumers and uncover the truth.
By mobilising Australia's largest and loudest consumer movement, CHOICE fights to hold industry and government accountable and achieve real change on the issues that matter most.
CHOICE doesn't accept advertising or sponsorship. This means we can uncover the truth about everyday consumer issues and provide practical advice to help consumers cut through the crap.
CHOICE is Australia's largest source of expert reviews. Based on unbiased analysis and rigorous testing, we help consumers compare products and services and select what's best for them.
The choices you make at the supermarket can have a huge impact on the type and quantity of kilojoules you consume. There are plenty of brands pitched at people trying to lose weight, so we've scanned the supermarket shelves for diet brands and take a look at:
Coles Simply Less is a new range of 90 products aimed at the "health conscious" that won't "hurt the hips, or the hip pocket". It joins established brands McCain Healthy Choice, which has more than 30 products, and Lean Cuisine's 35-plus meals.Weight Watchers – with a whopping 230 supermarket products – has teamed up with brands such as cheese maker Bega to market products with "Approved by Weight Watchers" and its "Points" on the packaging.
Although these brands don't use the words "diet" or "weight loss", their packaging does display terms such as "guilt-free", "lean", "balanced", "healthy", "less" and "stay in shape", which are likely to pique the interest of dieters. There is an emphasis on fat content, kilojoule counts or, in the case of Weight Watchers, the points value foods carry.
Many diet products tend to be highly processed, salty, sugary treat foods with little nutritional value. From jams and biscuits to salad dressings, they're foods you'd assume a dieter should avoid, even with reduced kilojoules. So do these products have a useful role as part of a balanced diet of fresh fruit and vegetables, wholegrains, lean meat and low-fat dairy?
"Diet foods can provide a less harmful alternative for people who are dedicated to losing weight, particularly if they're looking for a treat," argues Professor John Funder, executive chair of Obesity Australia. There's good data, he says, to show that if people know upfront how many kilojoules they're eating, they can end up eating about 200kJ fewer across a day.
Choosing foods purely based on their kilojoule content doesn't take into consideration the nutrients present in the food. A low-fat rice cracker may have fewer kilojoules than a handful of nuts, but the latter is a better choice nutritionally.
McMillan prefers what she calls "kilojoule awareness". By all means check the nutrition panel of a product for the kilojoules and see how it fits into your daily intake, she advises, but focusing obsessively on a rigid kilojoule-controlled diet doesn't help people learn how to respond to hunger signals or make consistently healthy food choices.
12 Sep 2012 | Supersizing – and increasing portion sizes in general – is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.
20 Jan 2011 | CHOICE looks at problematic myths and misconceptions, as identified by our in-house experts and a survey of professionals.
