The new LMD-4251TD is a 42-inch widescreen LCD monitor designed to satisfy the rapidly growing demand from 3D productions in the broadcast and professional field.
This professional monitor incorporates a micro-polarizer filter attached to the LCD panel, and is supplied with circular polarizer 3D glasses. Wearing these lightweight 3D glasses, users can enjoy smooth, uninterrupted viewing of multiple monitors.
The LMD-4251TD inherits the proven technology and features of the widely respected 2D LCD monitor, the high grade LMD-4250W. The LMD-4251TD can also display 2D pictures.
Key features of this monitor are Sony's highly acclaimed, unique ChromaTRU colour matching technology and a Full-HD (1920 x 1080) resolution professional LCD panel with an excellent wide viewing angle. Full digital 10-bit processing adds to the already impressive array of specifications, delivering smooth greyscale and colour transitions.
The LMD-4251TD can accept various source of 3D signal format such as 3D on 3G, Dual stream left and right, Field sequential and side-by-side HD-SDI as well as DVI-D line interleave (line by line) mode. A new set of 3D features have also been added to the monitor to help the user to manage the 3D effects with efficiency. The BKM-250TG board is required to display these features.
Entirely at home in broadcast, OB, production, post-production and corporate environments, the LMD-4251TD accepts a wide variety of PC and analogue video formats and optional decoder boards are available for Standard and High Definition digital video display.
All LMD Monitors come supplied with a 2-year PrimeSupport contract which offers unique extra services and benefits for added peace of mind.
Delivers outstandingly crisp, high brightness and high contrast images.
The LMD-4251TD uses precisely manufactured RGB colour filters, allowing the reproduction of colours with stunning depth and saturation to create highly natural images.
The LMD-4251TD adopts a 3D micro polarizer filter attached to the LCD panel, and is supplied with circular-polarizer glasses. In this system, the right and left signals are sorted into odd lines and even lines respectively. The right and left images delivered from the LCD panel are circular polarized in different directions through the micro-polarizer filter and the patterned retarder. Each right and left image can then be viewed by the corresponding right and left circular-polarizer filter glass.
Sony BKM-30G circular-polarizer glasses are designed for the 3D production operator's convenience, and optimized for both LMD 3D monitors.
When a half-mirror type of rig is used, either the left or right signal may be reversed horizontally. The Flip H function turns the reversed image to the normal view. This is helpful because the user can refer directly to the rig camera, achieving a simple and cost-saving system.
Either the left or right signal phase (or both phases) of a 3D image can be shifted horizontally. In this way, users can simulate the amount of 3D image parallax, and can judge whether the camera rig should be adjusted on location or whether it would be better to adjust the parallax later during the post-production process.
This function helps users to perceive the subtle difference of depth between different objects placed on the 3D screen surface.
Left and right input signals are displayed in a grid pattern on screen – divided into 9 blocks vertically and 16 blocks horizontally. By comparing adjacent images, users can recognise a difference in brightness and colour setting of the left and right images, and thus easily adjust the camera's white balance and iris settings.
Left and right signals can be swapped in a moment without inserting black frames, simply by manually pushing a function key. This instant-swap capability enables users to compare whole images and check for any sense of incongruity or for unnatural images.
Channel-assign information about the payload ID data of input signals is displayed on the menu screen. This tells users how the left and right channels are assigned in the menu.
Colour temperatures of 9300k,6500k, or a user preset value can be selected.
ChromaTRU technology ensures close CRT colour accuracy and gamma matching throughout the product's life and delivers consistent colour temperature across the entire greyscale range. Both control characteristics also assure extremely tight colour matching between different model samples. Three settings are available to simulate EBU, SMPTE and ITU-709 colour reproduction.
The LMD-4251TD employs software based white balance calibration function, which is called LMD_AutoWhiteBalance. Combined with a PC and commercially available calibration tool - X-Rite i1Pro - this function enables precise and quick adjustment of the monitor's white balance.
Delivers smooth colour and greyscale transitions for high quality video production.
The LMD-4251TD has a 3G SDI input capability. On Sony's montiors, the 3G SDI interface is compliant with the SMPTE 425 standard, transmitting up to 4:2:2/10bit 1080/60P video data using one SDI cable. 3D left and right signals can be handled through a single HD-SDI cable with a 3Gbs data rate.
LMD-4251TD can accept almost any SD or HD video format, both analogue and digital. Includes NTSC, PAL, component, RGB, Y/C, 480/60i, 575/50i, 480/60p, 576/50p, 1080/50i, 1080/60i, 1080/50p, 1080/60p, 720/50p, 720/60p, 1080/24psf, 1080/25psf, 1080/24p, 1080/25p, 1080/30p and PC signals from VGA to Full-HD.
The monitor can accept up to two optional video boards for additional video analogue or digital inputs (HD/SD SDI). Note that the new LMD-4251TD is compatible with current decoder boards. For the variety of 3D display functions, the BKM-250TG is mandatory.

ILLINOIS -- In the state of
A budget crisis task force report puts it bluntly: "
"There's just too many people in the Legislature that don't want to do the heavy lifting of legislating," said Madigan, the State Representative. "They want to go there and talk among themselves. They want to talk to people like you and say the right things for your consumption; but then when it comes time to cast a difficult vote they're in the bathroom somewhere."
Madigan and some other Democrats think the state's universities, community colleges and local school districts should pay for the pensions of their own employees.
Currently the state does, and Madigan calls it "spending money and sending the bill to someone else."
Madigan says it accounts for 75 percent of the state's annual pension payments.

South Norwood chef Sharon Taylor, of St Giles School in South Croydon, in the running to win School Chef of the Year 2014
Updated 9:39am Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By Chris Baynes, Reporter
For many of us, the mere memory of school-dinner staples such as cremated turkey twizzlers and lukewarm sponge and custard is enough to have us begging for a packed lunch.
But for the lucky pupils of one South Croydon school, lunchtime is rather more mouth-watering.
Sharon Taylor, the head chef at St Giles School in Pampisford Road, serves up a menu to make Jamie Oliver proud.
Her culinary creations include delicately spiced Peruvian chicken thighs with tomato ceviche and tofu-based coconut chilli chocolate pots with griddled pineapple.
Now the 50-year-old, of Enmore Avenue, South Norwood, is in the running to be crowned queen of the capital's kitchens.
She will battle seven other school chefs vying to be named London's best later this month.
She said: "I'm pleased to have got to the final. We have worked very hard to get all sorts of different cultures and food tastes represented in the school meals.
"Children these days have got really sophisticated tastes and a lot of the old traditional foods they think are a bit bland and boring.
"I grew up in Australia so I didn't experience the school meals system until I started working here as a cook.
"I've heard the horror stories from by husband and friends, so I'm glad school food has moved on and developed and children seem to enjoy it. It is very rewarding."
Mrs Taylor, who has worked as a cook for eight years and at St Giles for four, cooks for 60 children each lunchtime alongside two assistants.
She said: "St Giles is a unique school - there are lots of children with high dietary and medical needs.
"The pupils have heightened senses anyway - you have got to season it well and make it interesting for them.
"They are quite partial to a hot curry here. It is nice to be able to put flavour in."
She added: "This year I looked at the nationality mix of the school and we do quite a few international days here where we explore different cultures and foods.
"We had a new pupil come into the school whose family are from Peru and a couple of pupils from Brazil, so I looked around that South American region and got influences from that."
Mrs Taylor will serve up her signature dishes in a Masterchef-style cook-off at Croydon College on February 27. The two-course menu must cost just £1.60.
The winner will enter into national School Chef of the Year finals in May.
The competition is run annually by the Lead Association for Catering in Education.

Entertainment was probably the best we have seen - both dancers and singers were good and very hard working.
The cabin was small but clean with enough hanging and drawer space - note however, that your suitcases stay in the room (under the bed)so make sure they are not too big!
Gratuities are charged at £10 per day per cabin, however we chose to give money personally to our cabin girl,(who failed to say 'thank you') our waiter (Nin Nin who was the cheeriest and nicest staff member we met on board) and wine waiter and the remainder of the £140 we added to our final bill.
The attraction of this cruise for us was the departure from Tilbury. We were surprised, however at the number of old and infirm people on board, given that this is an old ship and not really suitable for wheelchairs etc.
Over all the trip was good value working out at about £100 per night each including bar bill and car parking. We did not take any of the trips in port.

Public Abstract:
Transplantation of somatic stem cells (SCs) can be beneficial for patients with a multitude of degenerative conditions. However, the use of somatic stem cells has several disadvantages: 1) incompatibility of donor and host cells; 2) restricted differentiation potential; and 3) only limited quantities can be obtained from adult donors or neonatal tissues or by in vitro expansion. In contrast, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are capable of developing into all tissues in the body and can be expanded ad infinitum. Thus, ESCs may serve as an excellent, alternative source of transplantable cells for regenerative medicine. However, similar to SCs, the use of ESCs produced conventionally using in vitro fertilization will be limited by host-graft rejection. Experimental approaches designed to avoid this outcome involve the use of retroviral vectors and the introduction of exogenous DNA (induced pluripotent stem cells, iPSCs). Another option is the use of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) to generate patient specific, histocompatible ESCs in a process referred to as therapeutic cloning (TC). While TC has not yet been accomplished in humans, recent success has been achieved in a preclinical model using a novel protocol for SCNT. Here, we propose to adapt this novel patented technology with a current efficiency of 10% in preclinical models to the generation of human, patient-specific, SCNT-ESCs and to compare their therapeutic potential to genetically related iPSCs.
Statement of Benefit to California:
The concept of stem cell based therapy implies that damaged tissues can be repaired by tissue-specific stem cells that generate mature, functionally active progeny. However despite obvious progress in the somatic stem cell transplantation approach, there are obstacles in effective stem cell-based therapy, namely a shortage of HLA-matched donors and technical limits on the in vitro expansion of somatic stem cells. In addition, the use of immunosuppressive drugs often results in severe site effects in these patients. Thus, alternative sources for transplantable cells are needed, and human histocompatible, pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) generated by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) theoretically represent an excellent source. Recently, a novel protocol for SCNT in large animal models was established with a 10% efficiency rate. An important aspect of this technology is that it has been patented and licensed by our California based company, thus providing a basis for further commercial development. Importantly, we will use the same donor fibroblasts to generate inducible PSCs (iPSCs) using viral-based and non-viral-based methods. Thus, we will create triads of genetically related PSCs, but derived by different methods to compare their therapeutic potential. These genetically-related triads of PSCs will be subjected to genetic, cytogenetic, epigenetic and potency analyses setting the stage for preclinical evaluation. Eventually benefits generated by the use of such cells in regenerative medicine should benefit all people but Californians will also profit from the generation of novel products (i.e. cell lines and media kits) commercially available to clinical, academic and for-profit research laboratories and from the regional experience and expertise in regenerative medicine.
Review Summary:
This project is focused on defining the best cell types to use for regenerative medicine by targeting the bottleneck for the safe and stable generation of patient-specific, immunologically-tolerated human pluripotent stem cell lines. The applicants propose three different means of accomplishing this goal: 1) somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT); 2) viral-mediated direct reprogramming of donor cells, or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS); and 3) reprogramming using non-viral methods. Cell lines derived by these different methods ("triads") will be compared to one another using genetic, molecular and epigenetic analyses, transcriptional profiling, followed by differentiation into neural lineages and subsequent transplantation of these cells into experimental animals for functional analysis. This project is directed towards the generation of histocompatible stem cells using both SCNT with human oocytes and iPS cells from fibroblasts of Alzheimer's disease patients and normal controls. Reviewers generally approved of this application's objective aimed at establishing patient-specific pluripotent cell lines without the use of insertional viral-mediated reprogramming. Despite this good intention, the reviewers had many reservations regarding the applicant's methodology and rationale. The applicant proposes to generate cloned pluripotent cells using SCNT with human oocytes, or non-viral-mediated genetic modification of donor cells compared to the standard virus-mediated approaches currently available. The general hypothesis is that SCNT is probably better than iPS, and that if using iPS, non-viral vector derivatives will be safer. This is not a very controversial stance, and the PI is probably correct that SCNT might make the "best" ES cell lines for regenerative purposes. Of course, this has not been possible to test, since human SCNT has not been documented to generate ES cell lines. As is suggested by the applicants, a direct molecular and genetic comparison of identical donor cells reprogrammed by the ooctye compared to those created by induced pluripotency (iPS) is needed, as it is still uncertain to what extent iPS cells are analogous to human ES cells derived from embryos. However, one reviewer thought the assumption that there was a bottleneck to cell-based therapies and the use of pluripotent cell lines for toxicology or drug discovery was unfounded. The reviewer suggested that there were a very large number of both genetically normal and disease-specific human ES cell lines available for fundamental research, and iPS cells created by viral means were still useful for basic research. Further, the translational question is, "What can each cell do?" and if the cells perform well and safely, the biological comparison is interesting but not a bottleneck. The reviewer further stated it was naïve to think cloned human pluripotent cell lines could be created for an individual for each envisaged cell therapy. Additionally, although the applicants proposed to generate iPS cells using non-viral means, they offered no concrete means of how they would achieve this other than citing previous literature demonstrating work with mouse cells. The applicants also presented preliminary data from their collaborators based on large animal SCNT, where they suggested the efficiency of that particular SCNT and subsequent generation of cloned cell lines could be increased to 10%. The hope that the preclinical model protocols for SCNT will transfer is reasonable and seems to be based on a strong scientific basis, but it is very difficult to evaluate the likelihood of success and hence, the potential impact. To date, no group (including this research team) has successfully generated cloned human ES cell lines, and many have tried, although there are a number of reports of successful nuclear transfer and progression to the blastocyst stage. Therefore, for the applicants to predict that they will be able to generate such cell lines in the first year of this project was considered to be over-stated. In addition, one reviewer suggested that the issue of viral or non-viral lines was perhaps moot, since considerable progress had been made using chemical induction or other non-integrating strategies, such that progress in this area makes that comparison a less compelling priority. One reviewer expressed concern that with the exception of the SCNT experiments, almost all of the methodology in the proposal was descriptive and lacking in significant details. For example, there were no time lines for the transplantation studies or metrics on how the human cells would be identified and characterized post-implantation. The preliminary data presented on neural differentiation described a protocol that utilized cell sorting to enrich for neural cells yet there was no quantification of the purity of the sorted cells. This reviewer opined that it was not clear how successful and reproducible this protocol would be. Another reviewer considered it impossible to comment on feasibility, since the entire project relied on success of human SCNT, which has not yet occurred. From a human subjects protection standpoint, it would have been useful for the PI to more clearly describe the oocyte numbers required for these studies. The reviewer was astonished at the enormous task of comparing, with all the required assays, all 108 cell lines generated from this study and recommended that it would be useful to prioritize. (Even if they were successful in generating 1% SCNT efficiency, a major feat, the numbers of oocytes required are huge.) Only if SCNT works efficiently, could Aim 1 be achieved. The experiments described in Aims 2 and 3 are then entirely dependent on the co-investigator's lab (an expert with iPS lines and neural differentiation assays), but the level of commitment is unclear since 0% effort or salary is allotted by the co-investigator. The principal investigator is the Chief Scientific Officer of a company which has exclusive rights to the preclinical model SCNT technology, licensed from an out of state university. The applicant will devote 25% effort to the project. Funding for two research associates and four technicians is requested, but there is very little justification or description of the role for any of these posts. One reviewer noted that the applicants were clearly successful in primate SCNT and should have as good a chance as any of success. In summary, the applicant proposes to create and compare patient-specific human pluripotent cell lines. The application contains several deficiencies in the rationale and significant problems with feasibility, which categorically weaken its seemingly novel attempt to address a bottleneck in generating SCNT for cell-based therapies.

Fed Releases Document Proving It Has Lied About Gold Swaps and Gold Price Manipulation
For several years, the US government's official stance has been that it has not only never engaged in manipulating gold prices, it has also never even discussed the subject.
To comply with a court order from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, Inc. (GATA), on February 18 the Fed turned over to GATA the minutes of a secret April 1997 meeting of the G-10 Gold and Foreign Exchange Committee.
This document was one of several that were sought by GATA to gain more information on the actions of the Fed that involve gold swap discussions and activities since 1990.
The judge allowed the Fed to keep nine other documents secret.
From the Gata Website; "According to the minutes, the U.S. delegate cited above, identified only as "Fisher" — apparently Peter R. Fisher, head of open market operations and foreign exchange trading for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York — also warned that central bank gold sales and leasing might be construed as positive for gold. The minutes say: "First, he noted that some market cynics viewed central bank activity as a contrary indicator and therefore one had to be conscious of possible feedback effects. Second, he noted that the price of gold, unlike other commodities, had historically not trended toward the cost of production. This seemed to suggest an ongoing supply/demand imbalance. Third, he had the sense that the gold leasing market was an important component in this puzzle, though he did not understand enough about that market, particularly the credit risk aspects of gold lending."
A Canadian delegate, the minutes say, wondered whether data about the gold market could be trusted — a point much pressed by GATA and others lately.
U.S. delegate Fisher, the minutes say, "explained that U.S. gold belongs to the Treasury. However, the Treasury had issued gold certificates to the Reserve Banks, and so gold (by these means) also appears on the Federal Reserve balance sheet. If there were to be a revaluation of gold, the certificates would also be revalued upwards; however [to prevent the Fed's balance sheet from expanding] this would lead to sales of government securities. So the net benefit to Treasury would need to be carefully calculated, since sales of government securities would expand the public portfolio of government securities and hence also expand the Treasury's debt-servicing burden."
This seems to be as candid an acknowledgement as any of the U.S. government's profound interest in suppressing the price of gold.
Two years after the G-10′s Gold and Foreign Exchange Committee discussed coordinating Western central bank policies toward gold, most of those central banks announced just such a formal mechanism of cooperation, the Washington Agreement on Gold:
The minutes of the April 1997 meeting of the G-10 Gold and Foreign Exchange Committee, which the Fed sought to conceal, along with the secrecy on which the Fed successfully has insisted for its other gold records, are powerful confirmations of Western central bank interest in controlling the gold market surreptitiously. The minutes have been posted at GATA's Internet site here:
http://www.gata.org/files/FedMemoG-10Gold&FXCommittee-4-29-1997.pdf "
Once again, this new document confirms that the Fed has consistently lied in denying its discussions and activities about gold swaps.

Alfred Hayes was a Rhodes Scholar (anti-USA sovereignty) and was president 1956-1975 of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in which capacity he presided over the winnowing out of silver coins in the nation's largest banking district, which were sent to the Treasury and melted for bullion at give-away rates for price suppression purposes to the Silver Users Association. On leaving the NY Fed he became president of Morgan Stanley International, another metals suppressing entity. For reasons unknown, few major commentators in metals have shown any wish to touch the heavily documented findings at The Silver Stealers, which have been publicly available by free access since January 2011; specifically, that so many major league gold and silver suppressors over the last century have all been members of one organization, "The Pilgrims Society," (including Hayes), which maintains a shockingly low profile considering how its members stand atop the pinnacles of world finance, and always has the USA President (who can order metals nationalization and did so in 1933-1934) as an "honorary" member! I value the help from Silver-Investor, Bullion Bulls Canada, Silver Bear Cafe, Implode O Meter, Don't Tread On Me, Brother John, Silver Strategies, Silver Market News Online and many other sites in spreading about this one singular fact—all major attacks on precious metals trace to this "Pilgrims Society," set up via the wills of diamond cartel organizer Cecil Rhodes, who fronted for both the Crown and the Rothschilds. As of 1986, William Rockefeller was on the executive committee of The Pilgrims, New York branch. The quotations below are documented in Vital Speeches of the Day—
"I HAVE HEARD OUR SWAPS CRITICIZED AS COVER UPS." —Alfred Hayes, lecture at Economic Club of New York, April 22, 1963
"I AM PARTICULARLY PROUD OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SWAP NETWORK, IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF WHICH I WAS INVOLVED FROM ITS INCEPTION, LINKING THE FEDERAL RESERVE AND 14 OTHER CENTRAL BANKS AND THE BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS. GOLD HAS LONG BEEN VIEWED BY MANY AS A BARBAROUS RELIC AND DEMONETIZING IT AND PHASING IT OUT OF THE SYSTEM COMPLETELY SEEMS TO HAVE A GOOD DEAL OF APPEAL IN SOME QUARTERS." —Alfred Hayes, speech at International Monetary Fund, August 31, 1975
Why are the majority of acknowledged leaders in gold and silver commentary ignoring the heavily documented findings in "The Silver Stealers" documentary? While they're ignoring it, the rank and file are READING it. Please help! The purpose is to protect our private property rights!

Tampa Bay's Thursday morning training camp practice won't be another ordinary walk-through for the players. The Bucs will be cheered on by more than 70 Special Olympics Florida athletes coming from Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, and Sarasota counties as part of the team's annual tradition of hosting this organization at training camp.
Following Tampa Bay's walk-through, the athletes will take the practice fields to participate in a training camp of their own. As part of Gatorade Junior Training Camp, athletes will enjoy football drills and fundamentals with Bucs players. Along with the players, cheerleaders and Captain Fear will also be on hand to take photos, sign autographs and visit with the Special Olympics group at the conclusion of their morning session.
Special Olympics is a national organization committed to empowering people with intellectual disabilities. The nonprofit group helps athletes become more healthy, confident and capable leaders, both on and off the field, through year-round sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports. Opportunities such as attending Buccaneers Training Camp help Special Olympics athletes develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and share their skills with friends, family members and the community.

|Political use of 'free market'
By Robert Reich
ONE OF THE most deceptive ideas continuously sounded by the right (and its fathomless think tanks and media outlets) is that the "free market" is natural and inevitable, existing outside and beyond government.
So whatever inequality or insecurity it generates is beyond our control. And whatever ways we might seek to reduce inequality or insecurity — to make the economy work for us — are unwarranted constraints on the market's freedom and will inevitably go wrong.By this view, if some people aren't paid enough to live on, the market has determined they aren't worth enough. If others rake in billions, they must be worth it. If millions of Americans remain unemployed or their paychecks are shrinking or they work two or three part-time jobs with no idea what they'll

Instead of this week's Judo Chop: Finish of the Week I want to take time to look at the recent prize fight between Chad Dawson and Andre Ward. I've had some requests to break this one down and frankly Ward's performance was sublime and deserves to be explained. I think it is a real slur on a fighter's skills when the media shower him with praise for his physical abilities, things he was largely born into such as his speed and reflexes, rather than his technique and strategy. To blame Ward's defeat of Dawson on Ward simply being a "better fighter" or faster moving and quicker to react also takes away from Ward's team, who did a masterful job in planning for this fight. In an attempt to shine some of the limelight on Ward's coaches and technical ability I will today break down the methods that Ward used to scientifically take Chad Dawson apart.
This article will not be covering a bullet point list of features on display, as is normally my modus operandi, but will rather talk through the progress of the fight as Andre Ward brought new tools into play through the fight in order to get to a point where he was outlanding Dawson more than 5 to 1 in some of the later rounds. For those who like to have a theme to think about through an article, however, the definite theme for this fight was Andre Ward's footwork.
Reminder: (G) in this article represents a gif image. These are an excellent supplement to the stills in this article and have been linked by me. They are not hosted by myself or Bloody Elbow but will open in a new tab and are definitely worth the watch.
Circling the "Wrong" Way
To set the scene - Chad Dawson is a right handed southpaw, while Andre Ward is a left handed orthodox fighter. This is possibly the most unusual type of encounter in boxing because of the blind following of tradition that the coaching of the sport is rooted in. Both fighters' power punch was their lead hand, while the traditional strategy against an opponent in the opposite stance (which I refer to as Open Guard) is to step the lead foot outside of their lead foot and land with one's rear hand. HBO's commentary team made repeated note of this throughout the fight but failed to notice that in this match the man with his lead foot on the inside of his opponent's lead foot was landing the telling punches.
Something which you should not see used effectively in combat sports is the southpaw jab from a standard fighting position. If your opponent is standing straight in front of you, in the opposite stance, and is hitting you with his lead hand you have some very fundamental errors in your game. Because the lead hand is almost always slapping the opponent's lead hand around from opposite stances, looking for openings and eliminating the opponent's ability to fire his lead. Notice below that when both men are hand fighting from open guard, neither man will have much luck getting his jab through against an alert opponent, even if he has dominant hand position. One of the main examples I use to demonstrate just how poor most boxing is in MMA is Yushin Okami's reliance entirely on the southpaw jab, a punch which shouldn't work without excellent footwork yet has built the flat footed wrestler an entire career.
If it is so hard to land the southpaw jab from the standard position, how did Andre Ward proceed to light up Chad Dawson with the jab in every round of their bout? He used his feet to create a straight line between his rear leg, lead shoulder and left fist. He achieved this by circling what is traditionally the wrong way against a southpaw, into Dawson's rear hand. Notice below how when Andre Ward is landing his jab, his lead foot is always inside of Dawson's lead foot, not on the outside as Max Kellerman kept claiming it would need to be in spite of what was unfolding in the ring.
To land the rear hand lead from an open guard - meaning Ward's right straight or Dawson's left straight - a step outside of the opponent's lead foot would be necessary, but in attempting to land a jab the step outside of the lead leg is fairly ineffective. To land the rear hand lead from an open guard - meaning Ward's right straight or Dawson's left straight - a step outside of the opponent's lead foot would be necessary, but in attempting to land a
jab the step outside of the lead leg is fairly ineffective.
One of the reasons you don't often see men use this technique so freely is that it feels very counter intuitive. Every time you land a stiff jab by stepping inside of the opponent's lead foot and sneaking your lead shoulder inside of theirs, you land in an off-balance position and they can accidentally or intentionally throw you over their lead leg to your back. Notice how Ward is forced to land in almost a headlock every time he lands his jab, simply to keep his balance. You can certainly see why this technique will never come to prominence in Mixed Martial Arts, as it is effectively giving up your balance for one good jab - but the kickboxing southpaw genius Giorgio Petrosyan has also had success with stepping inside on his jab.
Changing Direction
After establishing his jab in the first round and circling away from Dawson's power hand, Ward got a little lazy at the start of the second and attacked the bigger, stronger Dawson head on for the first time. Here he got his first tastes of Dawson's money punch, the right hook. Soon after, however, Ward got back to the gameplan and started circling to his right, stepping inside of Dawson's lead foot to land the jab, and ducking out to the right, away from Dawson's right hook again.
In the third round Ward introduced a change of direction with the right straight to the body. This carved out the main difference in the fight - Ward had two weapons, his powerful lead hand and a fairly powerful rear hand, while Dawson was entirely happy to work with just the one. Ward could shut down Dawson's entire offence by moving away from the one hand, where Ward could attack with vigour and bad intentions from any position he placed himself in.
The knockdown scored at the end of the third round is a beautiful example of a change in strategy taking immediate effect. Notice in the stills below that Ward steps outside of Dawson's lead leg this time, to land his right straight to the body, then dives back across to his right by bringing his right foot up and out to the right side. Having circled right all fight, Ward changed direction to land the right straight, then changed direction immediately to land the left hook as he ducked out again to the right. (G)
Notice that while Dawson is dropping his lead hand to swing his right hook from right to left, Ward is able to move his lead shoulder inside of Dawson's - securing the shorter, faster line. Ward also throws his hook more as a lancing straight punch across his body - where Dawson is loading up for a full swing from right to left. The straighter punch travels much quicker and while it is not as pure in terms of bodyweight and punching power it is more than enough to floor Dawson while he is swinging.
Dawson gutted out the rest of the round and Ward opened the second round with another beautiful left hook to knock the bigger man down. This time however Ward landed his hook by jumping his lead foot inside of Dawson's once again. This ensure that his shoulder was inside and added to the speed advantage that his hybrid straight across the body style hook had over Dawson's traditional swinging one. (G)
Notice how it is Ward's lead shoulder being inside of Dawson's lead shoulder that leads him to scientifically win the exchange, not simply his speed. Placing his lead foot inside of Dawson's simply increases the likelihood of his lead shoulder getting inside of Dawson's and also takes his head and body away from the point at which Dawson's hook will achieve it's full momentum.
The rest of the fight was much of the same - Ward continued to circle to his right, landing one hard jab at a time, then changing direction for a few moments to land a hard right straight to the body. As Dawson landed fewer and fewer punches per round he became incredibly discouraged (despite having great success with his left hand the three times he actually threw it in this fight) and eventually he was TKO'd by Ward. Ward's power looked great but his science allowed him to land his shots and evade Dawson's repeatedly, and to simply frustrate Dawson to the point of basically giving up while the referee was counting him out.
If you haven't seen this fight yet I suggest you find a means of watching it as soon as possible. It was a beautiful, scientific display for what is still a rare meeting in the ring - left handed orthodox vs right handed southpaw. I personally struggle to remain interested in modern boxing happenings due to the amount of gift fights, drawn out negotiations that lead nowhere, and fighters who simply put on the ear muffs and take it in turns to throw 8 punch combinations that achieve nothing, but this fight was simply superb and showed that you don't need to throw combinations in excess of 3 punches to put a scientific beating on an opponent if you have great footwork and strategy.

Greetings Hogs Haven, P_Roach17 here from Bleeding Green Nation attempting to organize a SB Nation-wide mock draft. After a disappointing season for my Birds, and being less than thrilled with having to watch the Giants in the SB (I'm sure you guys can sympathize here), I'm left with a football void at my core. So, as a result, I'm turning to the rest of SB Nation to satisfy not only my football needs, but the needs of others who are on the outside looking in during this 2011 postseason. You will of course be representing the Washington Redskins in this Draft, who currently hold the 6th overall pick in the 2012 draft, as I'm sure you all know. Your cooperation in this poll is greatly appreciated. Note: I would like for this poll to reflect the fans choice, not necessarily who you think your team will draft. Now for a few quick rules.
1) There will be no trading picks. Trading picks would be both complicated, and time consuming, so everyone will just stay put at their set draft position.
2) Submit your votes for the player of your choice as soon as possible. After 2 days the results of the poll will be final, Hogs Haven will submit its pick at 1am on 2/6/12, and Big Cat Country will be on the clock.
3) If you feel as though I have left a player out that deserves consideration as your teams draft selection, then let me know in the comments section, and I will gladly add them.
4) Any draft talk (or argument) that is to be made pertaining to your Skins' pick, feel free to make in the comments section.
5) ******** Be sure to rec this post so that it will remain under the recommended fan post section for everyone to see, and so that they are able to cast their vote *********
Previous picks:
1) Indianapolis Colts - Andrew Luck
2) St. Louis Rams - Matt Kalil
3) Minnesota Vikings - Morris Claiborne
4) Cleveland Browns - Robert Griffin III
5) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Trent Richardson
Hopefully this can be a fun experience for all of SBnation, as well as provide insight into the upcoming NFL draft. Be sure to vote and keep the ball rolling so that the rest of SB Nation can participate. Thanks for your time, and good luck in the upcoming season. Hogs Haven is now on the clock!

Pre-20th century[edit]
- In 1605, an attempted bombing of the House of Lords took place. A group of men led by Robert Catesby conspired to destroy the house from underground with gunpowder during the State Opening of Parliament, in which King James I of England would be killed by the blast. The conspiracy was revealed and the gunpowder discovered under the House before it could be used; the men were subsequently executed.
- Attacks by the Fenians during the Fenian Dynamite Campaign 1867–1885:
- In 1867, in the Clerkenwell Outrage, a bomb planted by Fenians at New Prison in Clerkenwell exploded, killing several passers-by.[1]
- In 1883, a co-ordinated attack at several public buildings across London resulted in a number of explosions, including one within Scotland Yard itself, the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Service.[2]
- On 25 January 1885 Fenians detonated bombs at a number of locations in central London, including London Bridge, the House of Commons and the Tower of London
- On 20 January 1885 the London Underground system was targeted for the first time. A bomb exploded on a Metropolitan line train at Gower Street (now Euston Square) tube station. No injuries were reported, although some passengers received minor cuts from broken glass.
- In 1894, Greenwich Observatory was attacked with a bomb. A French anarchist, the only person who died in the attack apparently due to mishandling of the weapon, was the perpetrator, and later became famous after a reference was included in Joseph Conrad's book The Secret Agent.[3]
Irish republican attacks before and during the Second World War[edit]
Main article: S-Plan
On 16 January 1939, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) launched a campaign of bombing and sabotage against the civil, economic, and military infrastructure of the United Kingdom. The campaign petered-out in early 1940.
- 16 January: a bomb exploded outside the control room of a large power station. It created a large crater in the forecourt of the building. There were no casualties and the control station was reportedly undamaged. A second explosion damaged an overhead cable running from Grand Union Canal to Willesden Power Station.
- 17 January: a bomb exploded at Williams & Deacons Bank, damaging gas mains.
- 4 February: two bombs exploded in the London Underground – one at Tottenham Court Road station and one at Leicester Square station. They were timed suitcase bombs stored in the left-luggage rooms overnight. There were no deaths, although two people were wounded and severe damage was done to the stations.
- 9 February: two bombs exploded at King's Cross station.
- 2 March: a bomb exploded on an aqueduct for the Grand Union Canal near Stonebridge Park.
- 23 March: five bombs exploded at different times during the day. Targets included telephone and gas installations, and the offices of the News Chronicle in Fleet Street.
- 29 March: two bombs exploded on Hammersmith Bridge.
- 31 March: seven bombs exploded in different parts of the city.
- 5 May: two bombs exploded.
- 10 June: bombs exploded in thirty post offices and postboxes in London, Birmingham and Manchester.
- 24 June: several bombs exploded before or after a republican demonstration (under police protection) demanding the release of IRA volunteers.[4]
- 24 June: bombs exploded at the London branches of the Midland Bank, Westminster Bank and Lloyds Bank.
- 26 July: two bombs exploded in the London Underground – one in the left-luggage area of King's Cross Station and one in the left-luggage area of Victoria Station. In the King's Cross attack, one man was killed and two wounded. In the Victoria Station attack five were wounded.
- 6 February: two bombs exploded in mailbags at Euston Station.
- 23 February: two bombs exploded in the West End. The devices had been placed in litter bins. Thirteen people were wounded.
Irish republican attacks during "the Troubles"[edit]
See also: The Troubles, Chronology of Provisional Irish Republican Army actions and Timeline of Irish National Liberation Army actions
In many cases telephoned warnings were given about bombs due to explode, identified as genuine by the use of a code word. In some cases the warning gave the wrong location, or did not give enough time to evacuate the area. Hoax calls, intended to cause disruption, were often made.[citation needed]

Comedian Bill Maher is a new limited parter of the New York Mets, according to CBSSports.com.
Maher bought one of the minority partnerships that the Mets started to offer in December. Those shares were reportedly $20 million -- and they included a meet-and-greet with Mr. Met, though there were no financial terms released with the Maher deal.
Maher said that he grew up a Mets and Yankees fan, though in recent years he's been known to rock the Mets hat more.
"I was so not a fan of George Steinbrenner that he turned me off to that franchise," Maher said. "I don't think he represented what New York should be."
He gives a couple more quotes in the article, but he doesn't crack wise, which is disappointing. Here are the jokes I totally would have told:
"We have to sign him. We don't want him to be known as David Left."
"And then I was all, yeah, don't let the door hit you on Reyes on your way out."
"Has anyone ever noticed that R.A. Dickey has a funny name?"
Looking for a writer, Bill? Call me. I'm around.

Peyton Rose is heading back to Gallup, N.M., only this time the Deer Park teenager is bringing a teammate.
Rose, a freshman-to-be at Deer Park High School, qualified as a barrel racer at the Wrangler Junior High School National Finals Rodeo for the second straight year. She will also team up with fellow DPHS eighth grader Cole White in the ribbon roping competition.
The rodeo finals run from June 26-July 2 in Gallup.
Rose and White qualified for the national rodeo after placing the top four in their events at a series of rodeos last fall and this spring.
Like most high school football teams in the state, the Deer Park Stags are not waiting until mid-August to get ready for the 2011 season.
The Stags are spending the current week finishing up their NFL-like organized training activities (more commonly known as summer camp) before heading to a four-day team camp later this month at Eastern Washington University.
The Stags OTA has brought out 88 football players, including 34 eighth graders who will make up the bulk of the freshman team this fall. About two dozen of the campers suited up for varsity action last season.
Mary Walker boys basketball assistant coach Dave Howard has been promoted to head coach following the recent resignation of Dwayne Watts.
Howard, a 1977 Deer Park High School graduate, has served as assistant basketball coach for the past six years. He is also an assistant football coach.
Watts was 49-43 during his recent four-year tour as head coach with the Chargers. He led the Chargers to the state tournament in 1989 during his first head coaching stint at the school.
• The second annual Chargers Hoops Golf Tournament will be 1:30 p.m. on July 23 at the Deer Park Golf Course.
Springdale's Kendall Peone, Rodney Abrahamson and Connor Parker, who helped guide the Chargers to a regional berth were named to the All-Northeast 2B League baseball team in voting by conference coaches.
Peone was named to the first team along with league most valuable player J.J. Robinson, Brandon Heiser, Tyler McNannay and Alex Teade, all of Colfax; Ross Collins and Jacob Schmach, both of Liberty; Erik Muelheims of St. George's; Daniel Holland of Northwest Christian; Traven Smith of Lind-Ritzville-Sprague and Ron Wilke of Davenport.
Deer Park's Aaron Eskue was the Stags' lone representative on the All-Great Northern League baseball team this spring in voting by the conference coaches.
The senior catcher was named to the second team.
