Jon Jones: "I feel terrible, but it also wasn't my decision to cancel the whole card. I don't make those decisions."
By Brendhan Conlan on August 24, 2012
In the immediate wake created by yesterday's UFC 151 debacle UFC President Dana White blasted Jon Jones and coach Greg Jackson in a conference call, Dan Henderson ensured fans he would be back after recovering from his knee injury, Chael Sonnen called "Bones" a plethora of names, fighters scheduled for the event complained openly, and countless fans cried out in disappointment. However, one of the key players in the agitating affair remained silent on the matter – Jones himself.
The polarizing pugilist has since spoken up to explain his side of the situation, expressing no remorse for declining what would have been a show-saving scrap with Sonnen while offering an apology to the promotional peers and fans affected by the card's cancellation.
"I signed a contract a long time ago to fight Dan Henderson. That's what I studied for, and that's what I prepared myself for. To take a fight with a different opponent in which I would basically have three days of training before traveling and then starting to cut weight I just thought would be the dumbest idea ever. I wouldn't have been properly prepared," said Jones in an interview with MMAJunkie. "Chael is completely different fighter. This is war. This is strategy. You have to go in there prepared and know that you did your homework. I wouldn't be the same warrior if I just jumped in there blindly and was cutting weight while I was trying to prepare for the fight."
"I definitely apologize to the other fighters on the card. I feel terrible, but it also wasn't my decision to cancel the whole card. I don't make those decisions," he continued. "I apologize to the people that lost money on tickets and travel and things like that. I don't apologize for my decision, but I do apologize for the way it affected people. I hope people can understand I was just trying to do the best thing for my career."
Jones also admitted the angry response regarding his role hasn't fallen on deaf ears, though he remained comfortable in doing what he felt was the right thing for the people he cares about most.
"The criticism does bother me, but I have to stand by my decision. I have to be the man that I am," Jones explained. "With such large audiences comes great criticism. There will be a lot of scrutiny, but I've got to do what makes me happy and feels right to me. At the end of the day, I have to make the best choice for me and my family."
The 25-year old champion's closed things out by saying his focus was now on moving forward and preparing to beat Lyoto Machida on September 22 in a more dominating fashion than he did in their meeting last December.

I usually go for the American but I hope you get knocked out and I hope your trainer Jackson gets to close to the cage and gets kicked in the head!!! Go train more point fighters Jackson!!!

I don't really hate any fighter but, Jones is beginning to convert me.

BiG BaD BuLL says:
To Baby Face Norm- everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but your statement paints you as a fool, as well as someone that has never fought before. Am I happy with this situation? No. But can I understand it? Absolutely. When you spend nine weeks getting ready for a specific individual, switching your training style and reflexes…to suddenly be placed with a new opponent eight days out is emotionally and mentally frustrating.
Also, to critisize Greg Jackson? Whether you like his fighters performances or not, he does what a coach is supposed to do: teach their fighter how to inflict as much damage as possible, with out getting hurt themselves.
How much do you enjoy getting punched in the face, B.f.n.?… Have you ever been punched in the face?…This is not me attacking you as a person, but taking a realistic outlook at "armchair quarterbacks."…Feel free to yell and scream at me over the internet, but maybe you should take a moment to realize that the guy that you are critisizing crawls into the ring to bleed for your entertainment.

BiG BaD BuLL says:
Oh, and Norm; would you be willing to square off with Bones in the ring? No? Then maybe you should keep your insults to yourself. I understand that everyone is tough behind a computer, but to call the 205 pound divisional king (who has slaughtered everyone to step before him) "Chicken Bones" Jones is an insult only upon yourself.

Richard Stabone says:
^ Exactly right. Not sure why there are so many who don't recognize and/or appreciate that.
And Jackson advised Jones not to fight a different opponent, putting his belt on the line, with only a few days to do any sort of real preparation. Not sure why so many don't appreciate that either.

baby face norm says:
Well big bad bull just like you said everyone has an opinion and for your info yeah I do fight and yeah ive been bloody in a ring!! Unlike a lot of people I do train!!! Ive trained under Jared fairbin who is a black belt under Dave camarillo and many more good camps!! Hell just in training ive got black eye's, broken toes, even torn a lot of mussels!! But one thing about me I fight for the fans and anyone that seen me fight they know I give a show!!! I'm not saying I'm the best ive gotten my A** handed to me but ive never backed down and I always give a killer show win or lose I give the fans what they pay for!! And let me tell you I don't get payed nearly a fraction that Jones does!!! It just makes me mad when I see a champion that wont take on anybody…

Screenplaya says:
If you have an serious issue with Jones' decision, you might not be capable of rational thought.
If you have trouble with Jones' decision, you are in the same camp as "Baby Face norm" above. That realization should set you straight.
Jones is the champ, he doesn't cancel cards, and he needn't fight a windbag like Chael Sonnen who is, I understand, 0-1 as a LW. This should be clear to anyone.
Get mad at the UFC, or get mad at Dana White. No card should depend on one fight.

hindsightufuk says:
i'm far from being a fan of Jon Jones (hugely impressed by him but not a fan as such) but i see where he's coming from. i dont see why so many people are bitching about his choice, i think Zuffa should have just pulled him from the card and carried on with someone else, wouldnt be the first time a major main event was cancelled. i also think offering the LHW champ a mouthy, borderline racist, testosterone lacking bloated middleweight chump as a replacement, down right disrespectful. i'm glad Jones told them to fuck off.
Agree or Disagree: 8 2
baby face norm says:
And big bad bull I respect your opinion maybe i get alittle carried away!! but yes I would take him on because I have nothing to lose only to gain!! Well i guess i would have a few things to lose like my teeth, a broken nose and a fractured jaw!!! But atleast I would have the balls to do so!! Even tho I know 99 times out of a 100 they would be scrapeing me off the mat atleast when I could see again and I look at myself in the mirror I know I took on all fighters and didn't dodge anyone!!

Why would any champion in any sport put their belt and career on the line with just 3 days to prepare? If you can't see jones' perspective on this, it only goes to show that MMA has more in common with sports entertainment than actual sport.
Agree or Disagree: 5 2
Dufresne says:
BFM, you pretty much spelled out exactly why Jones should have turned down this fight. You would take him on because you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, but on the other side that means he has nothing to gain and everything to lose. What would be his motivation for a high risk, no reward fight? People keep saying "fighters should fight" but no one seems to care that these fighters aren't fighting for us, they're fighting to pay their bills and feed their families in a sport where one injury can end a career leaving them with no workman's comp or retirement packages to fall back on.
I'm not a fan of JBJ as a human, he's done enough hypocritical things to make me climb the walls in frustration, but at the end of the day the only people that are really looking out for his best interests is JBJ and his trainers. Why the hate? Why aren't people pissed at all the other fighters that weren't named and turned down the fight? Why aren't people pissed at the UFC for not moving another fight up to the main event instead of scrapping an entire card? I'm just not sure I understand this entire mentality of blaming Jones for looking out for his career and health while letting the UFC get away with canceling 10 fights because they couldn't find a single interesting matchup out of all of their fighters across 8 weight divisions.
Agree or Disagree: 1 1
G-DUB says:
There's no black or white here, but Jones is mostly to blame here. With great power comes great responsibility. The UFC promotes this card as a Jon Jones LHW title match. 10 days out, without Jones there is no card. I'm sure Dana made this abundantly clear to Jones and his team. Is that fair? Perhaps not, but that's the way it is. Your the star of the show ….. you get paid as the star of the show …. without you, there is no show and the show must go on.
On some level, Jones must've been scared of losing, but there always that risk in every fight and I submit that the risk here was considerably mitigated. Aren't the risks of losing to Sonnen considerably less than the risks of losing to Hendo? Does Jones get much less credit for beating Sonnen than Hendo? Is his legacy tainted in any way? In terms of preparation, Jones has just completed a full camp and Sonnen's probably been spending more time in the Fuel TV offices than in the gym. 3 days isn't a lot of time to prepare, but it certainly is enough time to watch tons of film on Sonnen, make minor adjustments and come into the fight with more than a clue. For an in-shape phenom like Jones, I truly don't see this affected the outcome. Most importantly, on the off chance that it does and Sonnen pulls out a win, Jones inevitably gets a pass and an immediate rematch for helping the UFC out in a tight spot. Icing on the cake is Jones gets to win the hearts and minds of the public (instead of the hate he's had to endure in the past 24 hours) and proves himself to be a true fighting champion ready to take on all comers.
So someone please explain to me where the risks outweigh the rewards.

I said it in another article, I'll mention it here again. Jones only turned down Chael, the UFC didn't offer him anyone else besides Chael and Machida. Machida turned the fight down, and seeing what happened after the last time he fought Jones on short notice can you really blame him? Chael agreed to the fight, Jones didn't agree to fight Chael. The UFC offered him nobody else, he might of said yes to someone else, but they just threw a fit that Jones said no.
Also in the other article A.S stepped up and offered to fight someone other then Jones to save the show, and Dana said no. Sure they'd started the cancellation process, but I'm pretty sure that could be stopped easily.

elsicilian says:
You guys are ridiculous. If a person had to jump in a cage and fight Bones Jones to have a valid opinion on him, MMA would not be a very successful sport (and JBJ would probably refuse to fight any of us anyway, since that seems to be his style).
In any case, JBJ was obviously looking out for #1 (and it's hard to fault him for that); but the idea that ducking Chael Sonnen, ruining an entire event, and thereby doing irreparable damage to his standing in the eyes of the fans, sponsors, UFC brass and power brokers of the sport is "good for Jon Jones" is pretty unfathomable.
Chicken Bones Jones … heheh

Niv says:
If I may, I want to thank Jon Jones for not accepting the Sonnen fight. Jones should get a huge thank you from every fight fan out there as he saved us from paying for a bullshit fight.
Everyone's hate gets in the way of a logical outlook. Why would Sonnen even be offered a title fight at 205lbs when he just lost his last fight at MW?
Is losing a title fight at MW what sets up opponents for the LHW title? What a crock of shit!
Just as Jones was given his shot against Rua on short notice the UFC should've turned to someone like Gustafsson, or even a Te Huna or any other LHW fighter before giving Sonnen or Belfort for that matter a shot at the LHW title.
I think Machida was wise to turn down the fight on short notice and I think Rua would've done the same, but what's wrong with giving someone in that weight class who's scratching the surface a lottery shot?
In short this bs cancellation is all on the UFC, stop hating Jones for doing us a favour.

Plain and simple ….. JBJ vs. Sonnen = GOOD BUSINESS. If JBJ fancies himself as a "businessman", he would've recognized the potential. Seriously …. nevermind Sonnen's record. Under normal circumstances, you could argue whether Sonnen is worthy or not, but 10 days out from a fight all normal logic goes out the window. Brass tacks …. JBJ vs Sonnen saves the card, adds some super intrigue into the short build-up to the fight and puts $$$$ in Jones' pocket without much risk. Win-win.

To take a fight with a different opponent in which I would basically have three days of training before traveling and then starting to cut weight I just thought would be the dumbest idea ever. I wouldn't have been properly prepared,"
This is why Jones is getting the hate and the blame. According to him, he wasn't just turning down a fight with Chael but he would have turned down a fight with ANYONE.
Likely scenario is the UFC found out about Hendo, they scramble for hours trying to find a replacement, Lyoto was unreachable, Gustafsson (and everyone else) turned it down due to only having 8 days to prepare for a championship fight, and finally Chael steps up. So the UFC calls Jones telling him he has a change in opponent and Jones effectively pulls himself from the card, cause he's only trained for and will only fight Dan Henderson?!
Had he simply turned down Chael but was willing to accept other offers, I could understand, but he won't fight anyone he hasn't done his "homework" on. Well consider it a "pop quiz". If you're as skilled as everyone thinks you are, a change of opponent shouldn't be a major issue. But apparently it is.

elsicilian says:
@Niv – I had tickets to the fight, hotel booked, time off work, plane ticket bought. Although it might be more convenient for you and Jon Jones, I assure you that no UFC event next weekend (even with a less optimal opponent in the title fight headliner) is NOT A FAVOR for me, the other folks planning on attending, the other fighters on the card, the vendors, the sponsors and the promoters.

Lord Faust says:
Henderson was injured two weeks ago and kept it quiet until Wednesday night.
Whose fault is this again?
Agree or Disagree: 2 1
Spoken says:
This close to fight night, I doubt the UFC cared about who earned a shot. Asking pretty much anyone at light heavyweight would mean asking someone to cut weight in a week, risking their health. They had a decision to make and had to make it quick. They took a shot on a marketable replacement who walks around close enough to 205 to make weight in time. Jones cost the company I can't even imagine how much money, and cost 20 other fighters a paycheck. It was a selfish move from a selfish little kid.
Agree or Disagree: 2 2
Lord Faust says:
Pressuring Jones to sign a bout agreement on 8 days notice — or an entire event is cancelled — is the textbook definition of duress. No one with any sense would agree to that, and in any other context that contract would be declared null and void.
The UFC lost a main event fight. If that destroyed a whole card then shame on the promoters. Stop saying Jones cancelled UFC 151; he opted to not take a bottom-of-the-barrel replacement with zero time to train (his coaches are gone, helping Arlovski in Asia – Jones is flying solo between now and next Thursday).
Agree or Disagree: 4 2
MCM says:
Asking Jones to do the job he's contracted to do is the definition of professionalism. You'll have to excuse me if I don't find a change of opponent to be that big a deal. It's like a carpenter being contracted to build an entire house then being told he only needs to build a garden shed, but he'll get paid the same (or a little more) as long as he shows up with all his tools.
Agree or Disagree: 4 1
JBAR says:
I also do not see a drastic difference in style between Hendo and Chael. Hendo is just a better version of Chael so I would think your preperation for Dan would match up pretty well for Chael. It's not like you spent your training camp focusing on a high level striker and got swapped to a top level wrestler / BJJ player.
Agree or Disagree: 2 1
JBAR says:
Plus Jones had a full training camp, any replacement that was not scheduled to be on the 151 card would not have that, and they were not training for Jones just like he was not training for them so that part is a wash.
The UFC is to blame for the cancellation of 151 no doubt about it but I just do not feel like Jones has held up his end as a fighter, much less as a champ.
Agree or Disagree: 2 1
Mad_Hatter_XX says:
Without rehashing all previous arguments one thing I read from JBJ made me understand his position a bit more:
He said that the reality of it was not that he was getting 8 days of notice to prepare for Sonnen that he was really getting 3 days. He said that fight week as a champ is vastly different than as a challenger with all the extra obligations for interviews/media events.
Training for Hendo would be alot different than for Sonnen. Both high level wrestlers, but how that is used is way different. Hendo uses body control to push you around and uses dirty boxing for control where Sonnen comes straight for a double leg and tries to control you on the ground with GnP.
Both styles effective, but training for one would not seem to be good enough to defend against the other.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Niv says:
elsilian I totally sympathize with your plight here and have to acknowledge fans like yourself being hurt in this process. However I will not blame Jon Jones for that decision, I'll blame the UFC for cancelling the card outright.
I don't know if it's an intentional act of pure genius or a side effect but the UFC has taken a turn to help make Jones the heel of the organization. They are blaming him for the cancellation when I'm sure there are other fighters that would be worthy of a main card fight that would do it on short notice.
Jones has earned his place as champ right now and has earned the right to decline a fight on short notice, what I see here is the UFC being vindictive to its fans, champ and other fighters scheduled to make an appearance.
Now the UFC comes up with a replacement fight next card with Belfort fighting for the LHW title, now there's another wtf moment if there ever was one. The UFC is really doing itself and its fans disservice if his is the best they can come up with as a replacement fight.
I guess every top LHW looking for a crack at the title needs to drop to MW to get their shot penciled in.

I try to add the music to my J2ME application for 3510i and 7210. Both phones can play polyphonic melodies - when I upload them and use them manually as the ring tone. But when I split my 4-channels MIDI to 4 .ott files and try to play it by midlet - it sounds very sad ( If I try to play each .ott voice separately - each of them plays using the only musical instrument (every channel use the SAME instrument). If I try to play voices simultaneously (in various combinations) - the result is the silence or strange sounds
If somebody knows that - please tell me:
* is this possible to set the desired melody instrument when I play .ott sound fragment from J2ME midlet?
* Is it possible to play several voices (in case of 3510i & 7210, I think, its 4) simultaneously?
I see that my phones CAN do that. But I dont know how to do that by J2ME midlet.
Hoping for the wise advice,

Sixty SRP workers are finally home after spending weeks on Long Island restoring power to neighborhoods devastated by Superstorm Sandy.
The crews made it home just in time for thanksgiving. Families hugged and kissed, finally reunited.
Sixty SRP workers sacrificed two weeks to go back east and work round the clock in areas devastated by Sandy. They're heroes to the thousands of families left without power.
"The devastation was just amazing," says Guy Trump, SRP. "It just was great to be able to help them out and try to be some bit of a bright spot for them."
Some families on Long Island were without power for 16 days before crews reached them.
"They offered us food, money everything," says Carl Johnson.
In the 35 years Carl Johnson has been working for SRP, he's never seen anything like it.
"Homes destroyed and trash brought out of the bottom of the basements and put all over the street."
These guys are just thankful they were able to do their part. Not only did they restore power, they restored faith for people in need.
"They were grateful very grateful," says Andy Smith, SRP.
"People come together they take care of one another," says Trump.
"They were very good in making sure we had room to do our work and they stayed out of the way," says Johnson.
"I have three kids and a wife that will be happy I'm home," says Smith.
They were thanked for a job well done.

MUSKOKA – Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare will unveil options for the future...
Telefilm raises $14 million in private donations for Canadian filmmakers
This Saturday, August 23, from 1 to 5 p.m., Aspen Valley Wildlife...
HUNTSVILLE - Mary Meldrum admits she has never really raced competitively in her skiing career.
Come this time next month, she will be very close to her first opportunity.
The Emsdale resident will be representing the Muskoka Parry Sound District 4 region in the 55 to 64 age group for the women's giant slalom at the 2013 Ontario 55-plus Winter Games, which will be held here next month.
Meldrum, who has been skiing since she was 16, was living in Montreal, but really got hooked on the sport through a former boyfriend who she met when she was 19. Meldrum's love for the sport still lingers to this day.
"I like being outside and I like winter ... and I like speed," she said with a laugh. "I am not crazy about motorized speed just speed on my own abilities."
Meldrum said that she has participated in fun races over the years, but had not entered any highly-competitive events before she decided to try her hand at the winter games.
"I have taken some adult racing courses before, the last about eight years ago. It was just a once a week-training course. My sons, Jeff and Jamie, were both competitive skiers in the Montreal area, but I was never a competitive skier. I decided to try for the winter games because I thought it might be fun. I feel great about doing this."
Meldrum is preparing herself for the ski championships, with regular trips to the Blue Mountain and Hidden Valley ski area, and adjusting her regular workout routine with a focus on her leg muscles.
She said that while she has not raced formally, she admits she is a competitive person and wants to be fit and ready to complete the course.
More than 1,000 athletes, officials and fans will converge on Huntsville Feb. 26 to 28 for the Ontario 55-plus Senior Winter Games.
The event is a provincial multi-sport championship that will showcase athletes 55 and older and is an excellent example of what a healthy, active lifestyle can contribute to improve quality of life in your senior years. For more on the event, visit www.ontario55pluswintergames.com.

A post on our 14 News Facebook page earlier today already has thousands of likes.
It's a picture of an Evansville woman, who turned 105 years old Friday.
With her wheelchair decked out and love from family and friends on display, Emma Bump is happily celebrating one heck of a milestone.
"I'm thankful for the way people accept me and my 105 years," said Emma.
That's right, 105 years. That's an accomplishment well-deserving of a celebration.
Emma's looking forward to tonight's trip to Haub Steak House.
"Haub House is really famous for their steaks and I'm planning on a Haub steak," she said.
Hey, at this age, a little red meat can't hurt. After all, it turns out, Emma is pretty much a picture of a health. 105 and no prescription medicine routine.
"The only thing she's taking on a regular basis is an aspirin. Just an aspirin every day. it must help," said Eleanor Werner, Emma's niece.
It probably doesn't hurt that Emma stays active and keeps up on current events.
"I like to read the newspapers," Emma said.
Sometimes it is the simple things, like getting her hair done this morning and having a great breakfast. She says bacon is what makes her live this long.
"Many will ask me what my secret is for longevity but I just tell them I don't have any idea but I think I made it," said Emma.
But this wonderful life isn't over yet!
"It's been a great life and I have been enjoying it," said Emma.
Emma spent 32 years working for the Indiana Bell Telephone company and grew up on East Delaware Street in Evansville.
She got married in 1938!!
She does have some trouble hearing now, but at 105 I'd say she's looking great!
If you'd like to wish happy birthday to Emma, head to our 14 News Facebook page and look for her photo.@

Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Short Course
Presented by James Ward
Time: 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Room: NIEHS Rall 101A
Abstract: We will start by looking at the evolution of sequencing technology and briefly go over the chemistry and principles behind first, second, and third generation sequencers. We will then delve into the methods and applications for ChIP-seq analysis. ChIP-Seq stands for Chromatin Immunoprecipitation followed by Sequencing, and as the name suggests, uses immunoprecipitation to assess the genomic loci of DNA binding proteins such as transcription factors, histone modifications, CTCF etc. This section will include an overview of the ChIP-seq protocol, experimental requirements, statistical analyses, data formats and visualization. We will end with a demonstration of ChIP-seq data analysis, starting with raw data from the sequencer to the visualization of "Chipped" peaks in the UCSC genome browser. Please note that due to time limitations, we will not be able to perform a real-time demonstration and will instead rely on a recently analyzed example. Bringing a laptop is not necessary.

Daemen College : Academics & Research : Division of Arts & Sciences : English : Faculty : James Bono
First and foremost, I am concerned with how writing and other forms of rhetorical action mitigate risk and, ultimately, save lives. My dissertation, "Writing Resiliency: Emergency Management, Technical Communication, and the Resilient City," which I will defend this fall at the University of Pittsburgh, exposes the negotiations between building codes, disaster response plans, training materials, accident reports, and the like that have directly influenced coordinated emergency preparedness, response, and recovery throughout the history of New York City.
My interest in technical communication and emergency management has developed over the course of two overlapping careers, one in emergency medical services and the other in rhetoric and writing studies. Since 1995, I have worked as a paramedic, instructor, and emergency management specialist for emergency services and public policy agencies across New York State and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. During this time I have participated in curriculum development for emergency responders, strategic- and tactical-level response planning for catastrophic mass casualty incidents, and public advocacy and education projects.
In 2010, I was appointed as a research fellow at the Center for National Preparedness where I developed risk communication and mass-evacuation projects for clients including the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, and the Metropolitan Washington (D.C.) Council of Governments. This appointment afforded me the opportunity to work closely with engineers, public health specialists, policymakers, and corporations on revising the texts that mediate idea-sharing and project coordination across organizations and disciplines.
My background in adult education and emergency services informs the case-based, scenario-driven pedagogies that characterize my courses. As an instructor and curriculum coordinator for paramedic classes, I have experienced first-hand the effectiveness of hands-on, simulation-based teaching experiences that give students a chance to experiment (and, yes, fail) within a structured, "safe" space—a space separate from, but contingent on, the concerns of the "real world."
I see my teaching as a thoroughly rhetorical, ludic enterprise designed to help students develop the multiple literacies and critical consciousnesses necessary for knowledge work across the disciplines. My courses encourage synthetic discourse communities that are interdisciplinary in constitution and whose interactions span a range of rhetorical situations and media. I try to instill a sense that writing is just one mode of composition and that multimodal composing is an essential part of contributing to diverse communities whose interactions are increasingly distributed across a range of analog and digital media. I accomplish this, in part, by interpreting pedagogical touchstones such as "class participation" broadly, offering students a chance to make their own informed rhetorical choices about the media though which they engage the course. In blog posts, through word-processed and multimodal essays, or during in-class discussions, students have every opportunity to experiment with different voices, strategies, identities, and technologies—to test the boundaries of possibility.
Outside of academia, I can usually be found reading technical documents for fun, performing stand up comedy, or working as a risk management, business continuity planning, and curriculum development consultant.
Faculty accompanied students to Mexico City and Cuernavaca for the January inter-semester term.

St Cruz De La Palma Harbor
Calle O'Daly Street
At the heart of Santa Cruz runs the narrow pedestrianized Calle O'Daly, which was named after an Irish banana merchant. The street is lined with historic houses on both sides, the most famous being no 22, the Palacio de Salazar, which dates from the 17th century. The street intersects with Plaza Espana, a pretty square bordered by the 16th century town hall and the pleasing Renaissance architecture of the Inglesia del Savador.
Avenida Maritima
The 18th century mansions which sit beside the shoreline Avenida Maritima are famous for their magnificently ornate balconies.. The ground floor of several of these houses now operate as restaurants or bars, perfect for a well deserved break after a hard day's sightseeing.
Maritime Museum
Dramatically housed in a full-sized replica of Christopher Columbus' famous Santa Maria ship, the Maritime Museum contains an interesting collection of navigational charts, model ships, instruments and ships' flags. The Museum is on the Plaza Alemeda at the north end of town.
Santuario de la Virgen de las Nieves
Every five years La Palma comes alive with the Bajada festival, during which a statue of the island's patron saint is brought down from a hillside chapel to the city. You might not be able to make the festival, but you can walk up to the chapel, Santuario de la Virgen de las Nieves, which is about a mile inland from the port. The modest church exterior hides a fabulously opulent interior with the embodiment of La Palma's saint, a 14th century sculpture of the Virgin Mary, taking centerpiece.
Los Cancajos
The nearest beaches to Santa Cruz are Varadera and Nueva at Los Cancajos. They are popular black sand beaches with lots of facilities available nearby. Behind the sands runs a paved walkway which contours along the spectacular coastline. Los Cancajos is located about 2 miles south of Santa Cruz and can be reached either by taxi, or by catching the number L8 bus which leaves from Santa Cruz bus station.

Hurricane Irene tore through the region over the weekend, leaving a path of destruction a wiping out two of the three games the Phillies were scheduled to play with the Marlins. The Phils and Florida will play a makeup double-header on September 15.
The Phils lost the one game the teams did play, getting a weak start from Oswalt and falling 6-5. Oswalt was coming off of a fantastic start against Washington in which he had struck out nine in eight shutout innings, but looked a lot worse on Friday, allowing six runs on 12 hits over 5 2/3 innings.
The Phillies are 83-46 on the year after losing to the Marlins 6-5 on Friday. They are in first place in the NL East, six games ahead of the Braves.
Oswalt got the start for the Phillies and went 5 2/3 innings, allowing six runs on 12 hits and a walk. Only five of the runs was earned. Five of the hits went for extra-bases, four doubles and a grand slam by John Buck. Oswalt struck out two.
Emilio Bonifacio led off the game with a single to right and stole second. Infante was next and hit a ball that Valdez fielded at short, but Valdez threw the ball away for an error that put runners on the corners with nobody out. Logan Morrison was next and he grounded into a double-play, with Bonifacio scoring to put the Marlins up 1-0. Oswalt struck Mike Stanton out swinging to end the frame.
Greg Dobbs started the second with a single. Oswalt got the next two batters before Buck moved Dobbs to third with a single to right. Oswalt got the pitcher Clay Hensley to pop to Utley in foul territory to leave the runners stranded at the corners.
Oswalt set the Marlins down in order in the third.
He started the fourth with the score tied at 1-1. Stanton led off with a double and Dobbs followed with a ball past a diving Howard and down the first base line for another double, scoring Stanton to put Florida up 2-1. Oswalt retired Gaby Sanchez on a popup to Valdez for the first out and got Mike Cameron to fly to left for the second. He walked Buck intentionally to pitch to Hensley and the runners moved up to second and third on a passed ball before Hensley grounded to third to set the Marlins down.
Not a fan of the intentional walk to Buck there, but the grand slam off of Oswalt two innings later is a compelling argument.
Bonifacio singled to center to start the fifth, but Oswalt got Infante to ground into a double-play behind him. Morrison followed that with a double to right, but Oswalt got Stanton to ground to third to leave Morrison stranded.
The Marlins loaded the bases to start the sixth on singles by Dobbs, Sanchez and Cameron. It brought Buck to the plate and he hit a 1-0 pitch just out to right for a grand slam that put the Fish up 6-1. Oswalt got Hensley and Bonifacio on a pair of fly balls before Infante doubled to left. Herndon took over to pitch to Morrison and got him to fly to right to leave Infante stranded.
Herndon was back for the seventh with the lead cut to 6-4. He struck Stanton out swinging for the first out before Dobbs doubled again to right. Herndon got Sanchez on a fly ball to left and struck Cameron out looking to leave Dobbs at second.
Herndon has not allowed a run in 13 innings over his last 11 appearances.
Stutes started the eighth and struck Buck out looking for the first out. Lefty Bryan Petersen hit for the pitcher Ryan Webb and doubled to right, but Stutes struck out Infante and Bonifacio both swinging to leave Petersen at second.
Nice outing for Stutes, who has had a rough August in which he has thrown to a 5.56 ERA and had four bad outings in nine appearances.
Madson pitched the ninth and set the Marlins down in order on two ground balls and a fly ball to left.
Madson has now thrown two scoreless innings in two appearances since allowing six runs in 2/3 of an inning against the Nats on August 19.
The bullpen will be well-rested after not playing any games on Saturday or Sunday.
The Phillies lineup against righty Clay Hensley went (1) Victorino (2) Polanco (3) Utley (4) Howard (5) Pence (6) Mayberry (7) Ruiz (8) Valdez. Valdez at short with Rollins on the DL. Mayberry starts in left against a righty with Ibanez sidelined by his sore groin.
The Phillies were losing 1-0 when they hit in the bottom of the first. Polanco walked with one out, but Utley and Howard went down behind him.
The Phils went in order in the second.
Valdez led off the bottom of the third and hit a 1-1 pitch out to left for his first home run of the year, tying the game at 1-1. The Phillies went in order behind him.
Down 2-1, Utley, Howard and Pence went in order in the fourth.
Mayberry, Ruiz and Valdez went in order in the fifth.
They were losing 6-1 when Martinez, double-switched into the game in the top of the inning, flew to center for the first out of the sixth. Victorino grounded to second for the second out before Polanco singled to center and moved to third when Utley followed with a double to left. It put men on second and third for Howard and lefty Michael Dunn took over for Hensley to pitch to Howard. Howard hit a 1-0 pitch out right center for a three-run homer that got the Phils back in the game at 6-4. Righty Ryan Webb took over for Dunn and Pence reached on an infield single. Mayberry followed that with a double to center, moving Pence to third. Ruiz flew to right to leave both runners stranded.
Third home run of the year for Howard against a left-handed pitcher.
The Phils went in order in the seventh. With the righty Webb still pitching for Florida, Orr hit for Herndon and lined to right for the first out.
Righty Edward Mujica started the eighth and Polanco hit a ground ball to third. Dobbs fielded it, but his throw to first was high and Polanco was safe on the error. Utley popped to short for the first out and Mujica struck Howard out looking for the second. Pence moved Polanco to third with a single, but Mayberry struck out looking to leave both runners stranded.
Utley and Howard both get to hit against the righty as they tying run after Polanco reaches on an error, but can't do anything against Mujica.
Righty Steve Cishek struck Ruiz out swinging for the first out of the ninth. Ibanez hit for Madson and singled to right. Lee ran for Ibanez at first and Martinez doubled to the gap in left center, scoring Lee to make it 6-5. Victorino got to hit with the tying run in scoring position, but flew to left for the second out. Polanco grounded to short to end the game.
First at-bat for Ibanez since August 21 against the Nationals.
Victorino was 0-for-5 in the game. He's 1-for-his-last-10.
Polanco 1-for-4 with a walk and a single. 233/294/271 in his last 266 plate appearances.
Utley 1-for-4 with a double.
Howard 1-for-4 with a three-run homer. 240/296/380 against lefties for the year.
Pence 2-for-4 with two singles. He's hitting .330 with the Phillies.
Mayberry 1-for-4 with a double. 1-for-8 in his last two starts.
Ruiz 0-for-4. 12-for-his-last-31 (.387).
Valdez 1-for-2 with a home run. Six career home runs in 978 plate appearances, four of which came last year with the Phillies.
Hamels (13-7, 2.62) faces righty Homer Bailey (7-5, 4.44) tonight. Bailey faced the Phils on May 26, allowing four runs in four innings in a game the Phils won 10-4. Ibanez hit a three-run homer off of Bailey that day. Hamels comes off the DL with inflammation in his left shoulder to make the start. He's been outstanding against righties this year, holding them to a 202/244/288 line. Righties have hit 238/286/389 against him for his career. Hamels has allowed just six home runs to right-handed batters in 2011 — in 2010 he allowed 21 to righties and in 2009 he allowed 17.

Redskins RB Clinton Portis returned to the field Sunday for the first time since injuring his groin in Week Four, but he aggravated the injury early in the game and could miss the rest of the season.
Portis got the start on Sunday but acknowledged to Jason Reid of the Washington Post that he had not fully recovered from the injury that kept him out for five games.
Portis, a ninth-year veteran, said he will get an MRI on Monday. "I'm hoping it'll be fine," he said.
He had five carries for 32 yards and one catch for 14 yards in the Redskins' 19-16 win.
The way we see it
The Redskins were in dire need of Portis returning. RB Ryan Torain, who had played well replacing Portis, was out with a hamstring injury, leaving the 'Skins thin at running back. QB Donovan McNabb doesn't have a host of weapons at wideout, either. Portis could be shut down for the year which would be a blow to the 29-year-old, whose best days likely have passed.
Fantasy Spin
Keiland Williams has gotten the bulk of the carries and his value will increase if Portis has to miss time. Keep an eye on Torain as well; he could regain the starting role if healthy.

WI raises nearly £1,000 with fashion evening
10:00am Monday 17th February 2014 in New Forest News
FASHIONISTAS from the Verwood Women's Institute organised a stylish fashion show in memory of a much-loved member and raised funds for the new Jigsaw Building at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.
The event saw more than 130 people flock to the Verwood Memorial Hall to see clothes from ladies' fashion company Travelling Trends modelled by friends and members of the WI.
In true WI style, batches of cookies were baked for the evening and a raffle was held, giving a grand total of £950.
The funds will go to Bournemouth Hospital Charity Jigsaw Appeal.
Construction work has begun on the building which will house a new women's health unit and a blood disorders unit.
Verwood WI president Jan Parish said: "We arranged this sociable evening to raise money in memory of a much loved friend and member, Grace Copper, who touched so many lives of ladies in Verwood and indeed within the Dorset Federation of WIs.
"This truly was a team effort. So many people worked hard behind the scenes to make this such an enjoyable and successful evening.
We are delighted to have raised so much money while having so much fun. Well done ladies and thank you all."

Ed Schultz's Genuine Contrition on MSNBC Preceded by Churlish Non-Apology on Radio Show
It's not often Ed Schultz earns my respect, but he did with his apology to Laura Ingraham on his MSNBC show Wednesday night, right before starting a week-long suspension.
Based on what Schultz said earlier that day on his radio show about maligning Ingraham on the program only 24 hours earlier as a "right-wing slut" and "talk slut," Schultz's mea culpa Wednesday evening was fully unexpected.
That afternoon on the radio, Schultz was defiant and defensive and claimed Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity have said things just as bad and not paid a price (audio here, video clip after page break) --
I'm here (singing along to background music of David Bowie's "Fame"). ... Well, come on back in here! (in loud voice, apparently to his radio crew). OK, let me give you a classic of how this all works. This is how it works. Now in recent days, we have had Rush Limbaugh talk about, you know, Arnold Schwarzenegger and drowning the maid in relationship to the Kennedys. They get away with that, OK? Uh, Sean Hannity can refer to John Kerry's wife as a scumbag during the campaign. Fair enough? I think it is.So, uh, and I don't know Laura Ingraham, I don't hang out with the right-wing talkers, I don't even go to their conventions, I believe I told you that yesterday. I don't like being around them. I think they're trying to destroy the country. Look at what they are doing to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Look what they've called the president. Look how they've given us record number of filibusters and supported it on talk radio, I don't like any of them. I admit it! I'm guilty! I don't like 'em! But I don't think she's a slut.
So now the right wing is trying to gin up this story that I have called Laura Ingraham a slut. I referred to her as a talk slut. Which, by the way, I got some email, people agreed with me on it. It's a war out there! It's a cultural war is what we have in America. Uh, if I offended some women out there, I apologize. Now what Laura Ingraham was talking about was going after President Obama for having a beer, and she's not the only one, this other dude on Fox was talking about it too, going after President Obama for having a beer overseas when there's a tornado going on in the United States.
Now I believe it's almost becoming a tradition that when you go to Ireland, I believe it was Ronald Reagan that did the same thing. So in the heat of the moment and the passion of it all, I guess I used a term that has got the Michelle Malkins of the world upset. And we all know that she is an honest broker when it comes to fair vernacular in the arena of debate and politics. OK? But I just want to make sure that if there are any ladies out there who were offended that I used that term, I do apologize, I didn't mean to offend you. I did refer to Laura Ingraham as a talk slut.
Now, does she walk the streets? No, I know she doesn't. Is she a slut in the terms of whoring around? No, but I used it as a term that I think it's low rent for her to go down that road and describe our president when it's been paralleled in the past, the behavior of a president overseas, does just that. I thought it was low rent. My terminology was wrong, I should not have done it, and I certainly do not think that she is of that level of character, OK? I hope (makes kissing or kiss-off sound, depending on your perspective) everybody on the right wing is happy now!
But seriously, lefties, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It's like there's a different standard. Now, are you going to catch Rush Limbaugh apologizing for what he said to the Kennedy, about the Kennedy family about how Schwarzenegger couldn't be related to the Kennedys because if he was he would have taken the maid and drowned her? Now that kind of stuff is fair game, right, for them. This is why the Michelle Malkins of the world have no credibility whatsoever. But they will try to bring whatever pressure they possibly can on lefty talkers! We're not allowed the license of passion of the moment. We're not allowed the license of saying something that might be somewhat off-color but not intended to be offensive to the group but maybe depicting of one.
There you have it -- rambling, thin-skinned, and at times incoherent.
What a contrast with what Schultz said several hours later on his MSNBC show, which can be heard in the embedded video. No equivocation this time -- and Schultz expressing regret for people he may have hurt, namely his family and MSNBC colleagues. Schultz apologized directly to Ingraham and took full responsibility for his remarks. He was a man who appeared profoundly chastened.
The chronology here is worth noting. Schultz made no mention of the uproar during the first hour of his radio show Wednesday. At the start of the second hour, he was late to the microphone, not taking to the airwaves until the second song of his musical intro was playing, and this rarely happens. Was Schultz contacted by MSNBC between the first and second hours of his radio show and compelled to address the issue? Sure looks like it. But what he said clearly wasn't enough.

If any normal person listens to Rush Limbaugh 3 hours every day for a month or so, what he says makes sense. There are times when I listen to him, and I laugh hysterically at some of the jests, prods, and nudges he uses to "tweak the media". Sure, some of it is off color, but Rush is very witty in what he has to say in order to get the point across. The left spews nothing but pure hatred and jealousy towards Rush and all things conservative.

That his new found humble civility would not last has been confirmed. I will note that he did this on his radio show and not on MSNBC. I am sure he is fully aware of how close to the line he can dance before his Comcast boss's will finally say "That's it, you are oughta here!" But this is a sign. He is incapable of holding his tongue for very long. Now I understand the suspension was indefinate. Maybe the head honcho's will just not end it as soon as thought after this.

"He was a man who appeared profoundly chastened."
Operative word is "appeared". He had do this and did. I don't think for a second that it's not in his capacity to spew forth even more misogynistic vulgarities in the future. But, just like in the movie, Ed The Cowardly Lion Schultz had his nose swatted and cried and, once again, like in the movie, he'll be back to his usual comedic "tough guy" form in a couple of weeks or so.

His apology is sooooooooooooooooo fake. He is still justifying his mouth by comparing his slut remarks to what Rush and Hannity said. Have never heard "scumbag" from Hannity and what Rush said about the drowning, is true. He will never change as he is to arrogant and ignorant to do so. TV and radio need to trash this poor excuse before he does/says any more horrific, disgraceful remarks. Laura is a slut, Rush is a drugster, rip Cheneys heart out, will cheat at the poles, will burn the station down, whities are racist, I had twice as many people at my gathering then Beck did, Republicans want Sr's dead, on and on. He needs a one way ticket back to Fargo, if they would take him back.

Ed's just pissed off that he did what was demanded he do, apologize, but people are still obsessing over it as if he can do anything more. MSNBC, just get rid of him so we can put this story to rest already.

Why is apology is only to women who might be offended?
Submitted by Ray Mark on Sat, 05/28/2011 - 11:02am.
I am not a woman and I was offended. What women were not offended? Why not make the apolgy unconditional?
He uses the offensive term very often in his monologue. I am sure he has an even more dirty mouth off the air. What kind of people does he hang with, if any?

This just supports my theory that his "apology" on MSNBC was written by someone else on order from MSNBC brass which he was forced to read on air in order to keep his job.

The overall goal of research in the Rosenzweig lab is to elucidate mechanisms that produce and maintain diversity in prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes. We are particularly interested in understanding how changes in genome architecture affect global patterns of gene expression and whether such changes translate into how clones behave physiologically and demographically. We are engaged in several projects related to this theme: we are investigating how yeast and bacterial genomes, including those of interspecific hybrids, respond to either chronic resource limitation or continuously changing temperature and ethanol regimes. We are now also studying how genome architecture of opportunistic pathogens evolves in the cystic fibrosis lung. In the lab and in nature it is possible to track evolution of clonal microbial populations for hundreds of generations. A living record of each population's evolutionary trajectory can be preserved by archiving samples as -80°C glycerol stocks, and the tempo of evolutionary change inferred from changes in the frequency of neutral markers. The physiology and genetics of evolved strains and their ancestors can then be analyzed in detail to determine the bases for differences in Darwinian fitness. Sequencing of the yeast, E. coli and P. aeruginosa genomes makes possible the use of DNA microarrays to assess how changes in genome architecture and transcript levels underlie, or attend, evolutionary adaptation to various selection pressures.

SPEEDWAY — The Speedway Sparkplugs fell to visiting Brownsburg Saturday afternoon 12-4.
The Sparkplugs were playing the back end of a dual-school doubleheader with the first game resulting in a loss against Tri-West.
When the Bulldogs arrived for the second game, senior shortstop Mike Hartnagel was keyed up as he hit two two-run home runs that led Brownsburg to victory.
The first inning started with an early Bulldogs lead as Brownsburg (8-5) took a 3-0 advantage sparked by Hartnagel's leadoff single that eventually resulted in the game's first run.
Speedway (8-3) wasn't a push over, though.
The Sparkplugs had senior Austin Gosnell in scoring position on third after a Nicholas McCormick ground out to first in the bottom of the first frame, but junior Matthew Turk left him stranded after striking out.
While the day was looking up for the Bulldogs, the frustrations mounted for the Sparkplugs. The Bulldogs put up five more runs by the top of the fourth inning, making it 8-1 over a Speedway team that just couldn't find its groove.
"We talk a lot about how character is defined on how you react on moments of adversity and today would be an adverse moment," Speedway coach Marcus McCormick said. "Depending on how we bounce back will define us as a baseball team. We've got to put this game away and look forward to conference games ahead of us. Baseball is a long season."

Nearly three years ago, the 1,700-seat Theatre at the Hilton in Las Vegas got the crowning achievement of its five-year renovation that included replacing the original stage, reconfiguring the seating, and implementing a whole new AV infrastructure.
Head technician Michael Beyer presided over the installation of two Yamaha PM1D audio consoles in the theatre that was originally built for Elvis (he performed more than 800 shows there), and Beyer's expertise was tapped again when the Hilton's little sister, the 375-seat Shimmer Cabaret, underwent a sound system upgrade. The extent of that upgrade was influenced by other, simultaneously occurring projects in the room. "We intended to upgrade the FOH console," says Hilton technical director, Tony Tauber. "But at the same time, we were contemplating a room redesign and preparing to host a new show."
The new show is Menopause: The Musical, and the new console is a Yamaha DM2000. When Tauber and entertainment director, J. Eric D'Richards, saw the renderings for the set design of Menopause, they turned their attention to the room's speaker system, based around cabinets set in a 7' deep soffit and covered in beige grill cloth.
"We realized that we could pick up a footprint if we eliminated the soffit, replaced it with a proscenium, and went with some form of line-array speaker system," says Tauber. Beyer remembers, "I looked around the room, and I thought, 'Wow, if any room is crying out for a line-array, it's this one.'" His assessment was based partly on the dimensions of the theatre: a pie-shaped room with the stage at the apex and balcony seating, not very deep, but relatively tall, and suited for stereo.
At this point, Tauber and D'Richards realized that they had an opportunity to accommodate a number of major changes — sound system, room redecoration, and set install in a very compressed timeframe. "Instead of waiting," says Tauber of the room furbishing in particular, "we decided, let's jump on this right now."
Menopause went into production with the legacy loudspeaker system and the soffit-fitted cabinets, supported by side-stage stacks. But it didn't take long for that to change. Within days, this setup was updated with a new vertical tangent array loudspeaker system from Nexo: seven GEO S805s per side, with one S830 at the bottom of each cluster, and two CD12 HyperCardioid Subbass speakers per side. Two NX 242 Digital TD Controllers — one for the stereo arrays and one for the subs — provide crossover, sensed-amplifier control, and system alignment acoustically matched to each Nexo GEO. The system is driven by four Yamaha PC9501Ns, with the cluster split in half and the subs powered on their own. Mixing is handled by the Yamaha DM2000, positioned behind the balcony seating.
Beyer considered other line-array products, all excellent he notes, but not necessarily ideally suited for the room he had to work with. "I was looking for a 110° to 120° pattern in the horizontal plane for downstairs and, going higher in the array, I wanted a narrower pattern, 80° to 90° for the balcony, which, obviously, is much farther away. The Nexo boxes do both, whereas the other products were not as flexible. And the horizontal boxes could be adjusted asymmetrically using the flare fittings on one side to narrow the horn throat."
The Nexo rig's pragmatic design also appealed to Beyer. "It gives you the ability to really adjust the amplitude nearfield to farfield, with differing vertical patterns," he says. "Instead of having to use six boxes and six sets of drivers to cover 30° vertical — blowing people out of their seats in the nearfield, then trying to find a way to get that amplitude down without ruining the composite waveform, somebody thought to take one box with one set of drivers and make them 30°, bringing down the amplitude but covering the area. It's all about physics. If the design's logical, that speaks to me."
One thing they had to consider in the Cabaret was the size of the boxes. When the soffit above the stage was torn out, the set designer was concerned about the line-arrays blocking the set sightline, Beyer says. "I told him that this PA was only 17" wide, you won't even see it…I know he believed me, but I don't think it really sunk in until a few weeks later when we hung the arrays backed with black velour with 50% fullness. He was thrilled that he could barely see it, and with the lights down, he couldn't tell it was there at all."
Being a small sub driver guy, Beyer says the other thing that attracted him to the CD12 sub was its size and the 12" drivers. When he demos the system for people, he says they always remark on how awesome the bass is, but also how punchy and tight it is.
While the Shimmer Cabaret has become a more production-show intensive venue, the decision was made recently to give the room over to a live band after the 7pm Menopause show. Beyer, whose background is in concert touring, says he's happy about that because whether it's a production show or a live band with dancers and backup singers playing, the Nexo arrays are fit to the room. He concludes, "The only supplemental speakers we needed were a few Yamaha IS 2205s for fill at the back of the room, in the under-balcony area. Otherwise, the coverage was complete."

U.S. Supreme Court
High Court Rules Pakistani Held After 9-11 Can't Sue Ex-AG on 'Conclusory' Claims
Posted May 18, 2009 9:48 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A cable TV installer who says his detention after the Sept. 11 attacks was motivated by racial, religious and national origin bias has failed to allege specific facts allowing him to sue the former attorney general and the ex-director of the FBI, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled.
The court ruled 5-4 against Pakistani citizen Javaid Iqbal, SCOTUSblog reports. Iqbal's pleadings were insufficient to allow his suit against former Attorney General John Ashcroft and former FBI director Robert Mueller, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote in his majority opinion (PDF).
Iqbal had claimed he was beaten by prison guards when he was held in New York after the attacks, Reuters reports. He had been designated a "high interest" detainee after his arrest for fraudulent identification documents and held in a maximum security wing, according to the opinion. He alleged he was held under policies focused on Arab Muslim men and requiring harsh treatment.
Kennedy wrote that Iqbal's account of his prison ordeal, if proved true, could demonstrate unconstitutional conduct by some government actors. But naked assertions devoid of further factual enhancement are not sufficient to allow the suit against Ashcroft and Mueller, he wrote. Something more is required, Kennedy said, than "an unadorned, the-defendant-unlawfully-harmed-me accusation."
"To be clear, we do not reject these bald allegations on the ground that they are unrealistic or nonsensical," Kennedy wrote. "It is the conclusory nature of respondent's allegations, rather than their extravagantly fanciful nature, that disentitles them to the presumption of truth."
The decision allows the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in New York to decide whether Iqbal may amend his suit to bolster it with additional facts, SCOTUSblog says.
