Last night (Sat., Sept. 14, 2013) at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in the main event of a 152-pound championship catchweight fight dubbed "The One." It was by far the biggest boxing event of the past decade and arguably of all time.
To watch full "Mayweather vs. Canelo" main event video highlights online click here.
"Canelo" was thought to present an interesting stylistic match up, and with Mayweather's age, 36, some believed the time was right for "Money" to fall to a younger, hungrier fighter. That was not the case as Mayweather put on an absolute clinic against Alvarez, who just never seemed to find his rhythm.
If you missed it, I don't know what to tell you. It was one of those "once in a generation"-type fights that will be hard to recreate again.
So, About Last Night ...
Mayweather is totally "Money"
This may come as a surprise to some of you, but Mayweather is without a shadow of a doubt the best boxer of this generation. I know, some of you are shocked at that statement. But, the way that he's been able to compete at such a high level for so long, it's like he's getting better with age.
He neutralized most of Alvarez's attacks with that patented Mayweather shoulder roll, and kept his opponent on the defensive for the entirety of the fight just by finding a home for his jab. By the end of the fight, it was pretty clear that Mayweather was the better fighter.
The big takeaway, though, is that there is currently nobody in the world up to 154 pounds who really has a shot at beating him. "Canelo" truly was the best shot. The only thing that will beat Mayweather at this point is Father Time and last night showed that Mayweather has at least another few years left in the tank.
Not all undefeated records are created equally
Without doing any research, this appeared to be a perfect match up. Mayweather entered the ring Saturday night with a 44-0 record. "Canelo" entered with his own impressive 42-0-1 record. But, inside those numbers contained a certain truth:
Alvarez's resume was the product of favorable matchmaking.
And don't take that as a knock on his skills as a boxer. At 23 years old, "Canleo" is one of the young bright spots in a sport that desperately needs stars for the next generation. He has the good looks, charm and popularity to possibly transcend the sport and ensure that boxing doesn't die after Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao retire.
But, he's still got a long way to go. He was caught flat footed most of the bout and wasn't able to keep up with Mayweather's ridiculous pace. That may be because of the weight cut, but if he hopes to rebound, he'll need to make certain adjustments in his training.
Wait ... a majority decision? That can't be right.
Mayweather wasn't the only one surprised when Jimmy Lennon Jr. announced that the fight had ended in a majority decision. From my couch, it was a clear win for "Money," who worked over Alvarez for 12 rounds of boxing. If there ever was a clear case for a unanimous decision, it was last night's bout.
But, for some reason, CJ Ross scored it 114-114. She's the same judge who scored the Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquoia fight 115-113 for Bradley. It's a completely indefensible scorecard and one that needs some investigation. Boxing isn't crooked, it's the people who can alter an outcome who are the problem.
And for those conspiracy theorists out there: A majority decision paid out 21:1 odds in Las Vegas.
It's time to stop underestimating Danny Garcia
Yes, his father Angel Garcia is about as grating as they come, but Danny Garcia proved last night that he's one of the elite fighters in the world with his 12 round drubbing of Lucas Matthysse. Entering the bout, Garcia was the +210 underdog despite being the Light Welterweight (140-pound) champion.
Oddsmakers are usually good at evaluating talent and skills. Last night proved that sometimes a fighter's heart and determination are incalculable. Garcia worked over Matthysse and caused a ton of early damage to his right eye. By the end of the fight, it was almost completely shut.
At 25 years old, the sky is truly the limit for Garcia. Especially if he can continue to put on great performances against top-ranked fighters.
Additional Thoughts
- I know we love talking about the production of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) being the best in combat sports, but Showtime has brought it to a totally different level. Every aspect of last night's pay-per-view (PPV) was incredible. The broadcast booth added such a nice touch to an already "big fight" atmosphere.
- The Molina/Smith bout was fun, but definitely one of the dirtiest fights I've ever witnessed. There was no reason for a referee to get so involved in a fight. But, I guess like the saying goes, 'if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.'
- Seriously, that 114-114 card is criminal. I hope that Keith Kizer launches an investigation if only to protect the image of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. I know with other commissions, judges are asked to justify ridiculous cards almost immediately after the fight. I'd hope that Kizer did that with CJ Ross.
- My favorite part of the night was that after people already spent $75 on an HD version of the PPV, Mayweather told fans to go buy a $65 hat on his webstore. That's not greed. That's the American dream. Mayweather is a business, and right now, business is booming.

Krauthammer: 'Nuclear Energy Is Dead' After Japanese Crisis
It was likely not a surprise to "Inside Washington" viewers that most of the usual suspects on the panel Friday saw the crisis in Japan as not being good for the future of nuclear powered electrical plants in this country.
What certainly must have raised a couple of eyebrows though was the strongest opposition to any further construction of such facilities coming from lone conservative Charles Krauthammer (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Look, I think nuclear is dead as a result of this. Look, if Three Mile Island which was a picnic compared with this – one reactor, human error, no health hazard outside of it – as opposed to four reactors, no human error, human heroism in fact, and it's a disaster of ultimate proportions and in Japan which, you know. It's not like Chernobyl's shoddy Soviet construction and expertise. That's the gold standard and it's, it's, it's gonna, there's going to be a problem that will take weeks and will leave a residue for years. The resurgence of nuclear energy is dead. We will keep the plants we have, we're going to inspect them. Look, the Germans have taken seven of their seventeen offline. The Chinese who are kind of reckless environmentally have suspended all construction. It's over for nuclear. It's not going to recover.
COLBY KING, WASHINGTON POST: A resurgence, but the resurgence of interest in the idea. The prospect of bringing some nuclear plants online not very good anyway it's beginning. Why? Because Wall Street has to come in and finance those, those power plants, and there was no interest at all on Wall Street in taking that kind of investment.
KRAUTHAMMER: That's why Obama, the federal government under Obama and Bush were offering huge loan guarantees as a way to step in override the market and encourage this, but that's not going to go on. I think its day is done.
As the Left and their media minions love citing conservatives when one of them says something they agree with, it seems a metaphysical certitude Krauthammer's comments will make the rounds in the coming days.
As that happens, we should hope that it is part of a greater discussion concerning what our energy policy should be without nuclear.
The Left and their press are already opposed to coal due to the dreaded carbon dioxide. Oil is hated for similar reasons and is already over $100 a barrel.
In deference to Al Gore and his moronic followers, wind and solar are not close to being able to meet this country's electric needs, and the possibility of getting a new hydroelectric plant built is slim because it might kill some fish.
We as a nation appear to be approaching a tipping point where environmental concerns are about to make it impossible for us to power as well as heat and cool our homes, offices, and factories.
With all due respect to Krauthammer who is indeed one of my favorite writers and commentators, are we really going to allow what might have been a once in lifetime confluence of historic natural disasters dictate our energy policy for the coming decades?
Isn't there instead a far more rational approach to this matter whereby existing plants along the coasts are upgraded to account for tsunamis, and new facilities are built within reasonable distances from fault lines as well as the oceans bordering our eastern and western flanks?
My learned conservative friend should be advised that these reactors survived a 9.0 magnitude quake and all the aftershocks including ones in excess of 7.0. The problem was caused by a tsunami, which is not something we'd have to concern ourselves with at plants 50 to 100 miles inland.
That fellow panelists King, PBS's Mark Shields, and NPR's Nina Totenberg expressed skepticism for nuclear's future was one thing. For Dr. Krauthammer to not only share in the hysteria but also advance it was unfortunate.
Let's hope Charles has a change of heart before he writes his next column or it could be him causing a journalistic tsunami by taking such an extreme view on this important issue.

This article told me a lot
Submitted by Bull Moose Progressive on Sun, 03/20/2011 - 10:21pm.This article told me a lot more about Noel's bias than Krauthammer's. He didn't say whether he thought it was good or bad that nuclear was dead. He just stated that these events are going to kill its prospects, something that I agree with. Really, are any of you crazy enough to say that the events involving the nuclear reactors in Japan is actually helping the case of those who are for more nuclear energy? I'm actually in the more anti-nuclear energy category than Krauthammer is, but I'm not going to waste energy arguing the case in this environment because I know anyone on the fence about it up till now just got tilted over into the no category for the next few years. That isn't to say we shouldn't turn this into a great big discussion on U.S. energy policy. But we have to get the discussion away from the MSM. It would be good as a great topic of discussion for those upcoming presidential hopefuls.

I'm still in favor of nuclear energy in the United State of America. And, as far as Krauthammer is concerned, we all love him so much that we don't actually keep a running tally of his prognostic errors. How many times over the past couple of years has Dr. K boldly presumed something with the air of certitude and been dead wrong?

As I posted somewheres around here earlier this week, the anti-economic-growth crowd (and let's be honest here, as that is exactly what is behind all this) is going to exploit the events in Japan to the hilt, and get all of the mileage out of it they possibly can.
The government-educated dumbMass sheeple will fall for it as they always do, and none of us will live long enough to see another nuclear power plant built anywhere in America.
And it won't matter one bit if the electrical rates triple, or even quadruple.

Just look what happened in November of 2008. Do you think someone as mysterious as Obama would have been elected POTUS back then?
I don't. Not even if he was lily-white.
As for their "concern" for the loss of life, I am guessing they are in the same small minority as those "environmentalists" that express concern for the environment.
Most are doing it for other reasons, and those reasons are centered around stifling economic growth - not out of concern for human life or the environment, but for power and control.

Run the numbers. The US
Submitted by Slyrr on Sun, 03/20/2011 - 10:40pm.
Run the numbers. The US currently gets about 20% of it's power from nuclear. Divide that out to 50 states and it means about 15 states get power from nuclear. (I'm no math whiz, I'm sure some of you out there can be more precise) If (as Krauty says) 'nuclear is dead', then that means the government is going to have to tell 15 states in the country that they're going to have to go back to the dark ages and live without electricity.
They can build all the wind farms they want. The math says it's impossible. Even after years of liberal pimping wind and solar, the country barely gets like 4-5% of its power from these unreliable sources. And their performance is poor - they still have to stay connected to nuclear/coal power plants on cloudy days and days when there isn't much wind. 'Bio fuels' are even less advanced. The government's disastrous attempt to go to ethanol did nothing but plunge the entire world into a food crisis by raising the price of corn. Ethanol has proved to be an unviable dud. So - shut off the nuclear plants and .... what then?
Even with the 5% of the power from wind/solar/bio that still leaves at least 10 out of 50 states completely without power. And in this age when everyone is used to having juice for their computers, iphones and whatnot, the people will NOT tolerate 'rolling blackouts'. They'll throw anyone and everyone out of office who tries to institute such a policy. Cries to 'do it for beloved mother Gaea' will not count for beans when people get cold in winter and want some heat. Nor will the internet crowd tolerate any official who tries to take away their mobile access. They'll cut off the political head of anyone who tries - even their beloved 'sort of god', Obama.
So - if nuke is 'finished', what then? There will only be two options. 'Drill baby drill!' (oil) or 'mine baby, mine!' (coal). Suddenly Palin's ideas sound pretty smart, huh?

There are two more options
Submitted by dscott on Mon, 03/21/2011 - 12:31am.
There are two more options which liberals will push with increasing insanity and a third they won't consider.
1) conservation and magical energy efficiency standards (we know we can't conserve to energy self sufficiency) and
2) De-industrialization as promoted by Hansen, the recession made a good start.
3) population reduction? Electric consumption growth is proportional to population growth. Liberals know what needs to be done there but they are too invested in vote buying to send the illegals packing.

The Reality of Nuclear Power
Submitted by richb313 on Sun, 03/20/2011 - 10:58pm.There has been way too much hysteria and not enougfh reality. Yes the potential risks involved with Nuclear Energy are huge but so are any modern petro-chemical operations. It was not that many years ago that Union Carbide had an incident in India where many were killed. When we build nuclear reactors we are trying to tame a very unruly dragon. We have kept this particular dragon under control for very many years but as the crisis in Japan has shown that when this dragon is set free it is very difficult to get him back under control. What is needed is a real world risk assesment. Would we be better served without Nuclear Power? Would smaller mini plants be a safer alternative? How about direct convesion as in Nuclear Batteries? I come from Nuclear Powered subs but the size of the reactors used by the Navy are miniscule compared to the reactors in power plants and there is the real problem. The potential risks are huge. What is needed is a little time, distance and reflection. We need energy and nuclear power is a very real source of vasts amounts of it. What is needed is a way to extract that energy without subjecting the population to such devastating risks, no matter how remote. Remember there was no design failure except that no one thought such a devastating earthquake and resulting tidal wave were even possible. This points out why, when working with systems where failure of that system can kill we must design it in such a way that it will always fail in a safe condition even if it means deliberatly sacrificing the reactor and containment structures.

Cooler heads will prevail
Submitted by pbthinker on Sun, 03/20/2011 - 11:26pm.Ironically, Noel is more correct on this than Krauthammer. The Japanese reactors took a licking and kept on ticking, until the Tsunami hit. Water, traveling at that speed, is very difficult to defense against. If nothing else, I'm sure we'll take a good look at nuclear facilities, close to the ocean, and try and figure if they're likely to get hit by a Tsunami. Ironcially, in Japan, that was a huge possibility, given their history, then again, a 30 footer is still unusual. It will be fun to watch the House and Senate hearings on Nuclear Power Safety, which you just know are going to come up.

- Nina Totenberg: "It would be irresponsible not to pause a moment and review... what we're doing, and make sure we're up to snuff enough as we can be."
- Mark Shields: "On the ropes...a mandatory eight count, and perhaps even two eight counts. Nuclear industry has always been the problem. I mean every presidential debate we go to Yucca Flats in Nevada and argue what are we going to do with the nuclear waste, and that becomes the question. And so we've never decided what we're going to do about nuclear waste in this country. But, given the seriousness and the gravity of the problem with energy and the Middle East and oil and the price there was an opening for nuclear energy and that is closing fast from Japan.
Positivity definitely ratcheted downward as opinions emanated sequentially from Eeny to Meeny then Miney and finally Moe. But, the three other panelists did not call nuclear energy dead like sour Kraut.

Here he brings up the onerous "debate" about Yucca Flats yet never (like all his lefty colleagues) wonders whatever in the world France does with its waste despite getting 80% of its electricity from nuclear. Did it ever occur to these guys to just ask the French if we could dump ours where they do? "Oh, no", cried the Democratic Congress a couple of years ago. They stopped funding a special program at Argonne National Laboratory which would have enabled a manner of recycling nuclear waste, a way of re-enriching it, that the French actually use. There was never a good reason to "store" it anywhere. Liberalism; government of the people, by the theories and for the ideologists - deadeyedan

Krauty and the Moderator briefly touched on France's handling of spent fuel. Hammer said we don't want to make it into plutonium because that would increase the amount available (for misadventure, I surmise). My impression was not only that Kruathammer see's the Left crushing nuclear power but that he, Charles, is all for crushing nuclear power as well. A little too passionate in his speech IMO.
Charles has had three big errors in the past 3 years:

Thanks for reminding me, Unsane. Mark Shields explicitly said "Yucca flats" instead of "Yucca mountain", the actual federally designated/legal location for storage of nuclear waste. The flats were used for nuclear explosion testing IIRC.
A significant distinction which should garner as much ridicule coming from the expert panelist Shields as what happened with Bachmann's Revolutionary War era gaffe.

if we can go to the moon....
Submitted by MidAmerica on Mon, 03/21/2011 - 12:44am.If Charles is merely talking about the politics of nuclear that's one thing but if he means the nuclear plants themselves I totally disagree. Nuclear power plants are a thing created by engineers. If that thing is deficient then it's an engineering problem to be solved. That will take nuclear engineers and not us peons or tv pundits to come up with a satisfactory answer. A future without enough power will kill more and impoverish more than all the nuclear accidents there have been since nuclear power was first turned on.

Hey Noel. You missed Krauthammer's Point
Submitted by filioscotia on Mon, 03/21/2011 - 11:07am.CK was just stating his opinion on the long term impact of the events in Japan. I respect CK because he's such a clear eyed observer of what's going on, and he has a wonderful knack for seeing where today's events are taking us. He thinks Japan's nuclear disaster, which was caused by nature, not human or technical failure, is the death knell for nuclear powered electricity in America, in very large part because we're watching it play out in horrific and terrifying detail day in day out on TV. Just as the Hindenburg crash, and the spectacular film footage we've all seen, killed the use of large dirigibles for travel and transport, the Japan tsunami and the "crash" of those nuclear power plants will kill any hope of expanding nuclear power in the United States. That's not a statement "For' or "Against" nuclear power. It's only his view of its dim future, and I think he's right. I've always supported use of nuclear power, but after what's happened in Japan, I don't think I will be buying any of its stock.

The nuclear stance of CK
Submitted by Ashrak on Mon, 03/21/2011 - 11:48am.
is as radical and extreme as his stance on Palin. Like Palin, nuclear power is here to stay.
Some will ignore it, others will blatantly wish it away absent opposition qualified by alternative solution. This piece is right on the money , it wasn't the quake itself, but rather the water that did the damage causing so many problems.
To be sure, the entire world should learn lessons from what happened in Japan. We did so after TMI and we did so again as a result of Chernobyl. Heck, we are still learning from Chernobyl.
I propose that rather than endlessly slam Nuclear power, this happening in Japan should be employed as a means of impressing upon Iran why it is that nuclear activities must have international partnerships involved.
Nuclear bombs are not a game but neither is nuclear energy. I submit that the world should use what has happened in Japan as a means of learning rather than a political football.

Nuclear powered electrical
Submitted by Jack Bauer on Mon, 03/21/2011 - 1:59pm.
Nuclear powered electrical energy is not dead in France.
80% of it's power is generated from Nuclear power plants. It's not going anywhere Charles.
That comment reminds me of the old joke of the British Empire and insularity. "Fog in the English Channel. Continent cut off."
CHINA uses FRENCH designed and built nuclear power plants.
And they are plowing ahead. They're not stopping because of US public opinion. They want cheap, plentiful nuclear generated POWER. If you rthink they're manufacturing is unfair NOW, wait till the Greenies make it so expensive in the US, it will be cheaper to import from Mexico and Canada.
CHINA HAS 27 --- THAT'S TWENTY SEVEN nuke power plants currently under construction.
Yet once again the most innovative, competitive country the world had ever seen is bent on a suicide mission to go backwards.
A country that used to LEAD the world in technological progress now decides its future based on TV images.
All of the above Mr Obama? --- How about ALL OF THE BELOW, instead.

nuke power
Submitted by Andrew1431 on Mon, 03/21/2011 - 2:17pm.I think nuclear power will always be a part of the energy mix until wind and solar become a feasible alternative. Sorry Charlie. Just because it's perceived as dangerous doesn't mean it isn't needed. Future safety improvements are always possible too.

Submitted by BW222 on Mon, 03/21/2011 - 2:48pm.Like many "conservative" pundits in the DC area, Charles wants to be invited to all the Beltway cocktail parties and many of the best ones are thrown by Democrats.

Now the inconvenient truth revealed by Fukushima: http://opinion.financialpost.com/2011/03/21/lawrence-solomon-reactor-vic...
"Among about 100,000 A-bomb survivors registered at Nagasaki University School of Medicine, male subjects exposed to 31-40 cGy [centigrays] showed significantly lower mortality from non-cancerous diseases than age-matched unexposed males," the researchers found. "And the death rate for exposed male and female was smaller than that for unexposed." The 31-40 cGy is a measure of radiation absorption higher than the general population in the vicinity of the plants is likely to have received.
What we are witnessing is the death of the liberal myth that all radiation is bad. The only bad radiation is Acute, if radiation doesn't kill you immediately it turns out that it prolongs your life. Kind of like fire, get too close and your dead, in the cold it keeps you alive. You gotta love the irony of nature.

From bottle ordered on-line.
Poured in a Belgian Scotch Silly glass.
Copper color with big head.
Aroma of grassy hops and sweet malts.
Medium carbonation and significant mouthfeel.
Flavors of roasted malts, grassy and piney hops, funky fruit rind, white grapefruit, Italian herbs...let me give this 5 minutes...
OK...head remains with mixed size bubbles...aroma is still there, with a touch of oxidation/wet cardboard. Flavors are big and bold, with a touch of funky melon fruit, biting grassy and pine sap bitterness, alcohol, mango rind. Humm...might well be better at the brewery, but in this form at this time it's bitter and rough, certainly not for the timid but beyond that, for the double IPA fan, it's not compelling.

Pours a clear deep burnt orange with a billowing two finger white head that settles ever so slowly leaving broken lace behaind as it does.Aromas of citric and leafy hops with not alot of sweetness,there is some alcohol induced sweetness but not in ur face.Big citrus fruits on the palate with not a whole lot of bitterness,more alcohol induced frutiness makes for a very non-bitter DIPA with all the fruitiness derived from the hops and malt,the alcohol does creep and make's itslef known as it warms.I like this beer because it's not overly sweet and the hops have some complexity.Nice job here.

Appearance Clear, brownish-orange body with a head that was kind of small but that lasted awhile and pitted, lacing the glass beautifully.
Smell Strong, raunchy hops define this aroma. Theres huge pine with some citrus and something else that I cant identify, but this is probably one of the sharpest hop aromas that I have every smelled.
Taste Man, this is huge! By far the biggest hops of any beer that I have ever tasted. As stated earlier, I can pick up the gigantic pine and secondary citrus, but theres much more in this one that I just dont have the experience to describe. The bottom line is that THIS IS ONE HOPPY ALE!
Mouthfeel Close to full-bodied and extremely dry. The hop finish goes on forever.
Drinkability If you dont like hops, I wouldnt go near this one. Really, I wouldnt even talk to someone who has drunk this beer in the last ten days. But, if youre like me and love hops of all kinds, this is the Buddha.

This beer pours with a thick creamy head that settles into a nice residual swirl of bubbles. The color is a deeper orange, like many other imperial IPAs. The aroma jumps out of the glass and presents you with a pleasant onslaught of citrus-y hoppiness with some undertones of pine. The taste is sweet, alcoholic, a little bitter, and generally good. It finishes with some hoppy bitterness. Really, this beer is worth the aroma alone and everything else is just a bonus.

22 oz bottle obtained via trade with waldowin. Thanks for the opportunity to enjoy this rare, Pacific Norhtwest DIPA.
Served slightly chilled into an imperial pint glass, the body is a chill hazed, radiantly golden color, with a lot of active carbonation evident in the glass. Two finger, beige head retains well, finally receding into sticky, island chain, lace. Quite a looker!
Aroma is boldly hopped. Fresh hop resins sear the nose with pine sap and grapefruit rind. Faint notes of tangerine and caramel seem to emerge at room temperature.
Mouthfeel is medium to medium full bodied, with crisp carbonation. Oily, resinous, hop juice is intense enough to have a burn on the tongue. No alcohol presence noted.
Taste is all about the hops. Fresh and Bitter hops. Earthy, floral, citrus, but mostly pine sap. Caramel, orangerind, and tangerine notes peek through, especially at room temperature, but are quickly swatted into meek submission. The brash hoppiness becomes more citrusy toward the finish, but a malt presence is never able to fully come forth. Finish and aftertaste have a lasting, dry, bitterness that is limezest and pine resin.
This one is a perfect remedy for the hop deprived. Whooppass, indeed! Hopheads would rate this one much higher. This makes a Stone Ruination seem like an ESB. "Knock the Doors Down" bitter hoppiness is offered here. Very enjoyable to drink, well constructed, and loaded down with Pacific Northwest, high alpha, C hops. Whew! This one will render your tastebuds useless to review anything else, but the high abv is cleverly concealed.

Another one thanks to Jetsbeer...don't know why, but I like it when there is no mention of the word "double" in the name...had no clue this one clocked in at 9%.
Cloudy mahogony in color with less than a half finger of bright white head...a fine layer remains on top and some sporadic lacing remains on the side of the snifter.
Nothing over the top in the nose...juicy fruit hops with a diacetyl twinge with a lingering nose.
The taste is real solid...glad to see this is no butter bomb. Well balanced with a strong malt presence to balance out the boatload of hops this one is carrying.
Mouthfeel is a bit thin, but the carbonation is perfect...no alcohol present until the last few swigs and finishes very clean.
Not overdone for the style...just done right. Possibly the best session brew for a double IPA I have tried to date.

Thanks to someone for sharing this at the May Freetail bottle release.
The beer pours an orange color with a decent-sized white head. The aroma definitely lets you know this is a double IPA. I get a lot of pine and orange notes as well as a little bit of biscuit malt.
The flavor is more of the same. There is a medium bitterness in the beer and a lot of pine from the hops. There is also a little bit of orange citrus and biscuit malt, but the beer is dominated by the piney hops. The alcohol is well hidden and the beer is easy to drink.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A very nice Double IPA.

0.26 gallon swing-top courtesy of RoyalT.
Appearance: Poured a wonderful hazy honey in color. Massive, thick, and creamy head stands proudly atop the brew. Lacing is impressive and complex.
Smell: This is the Eddie Murphy stand-up show of aromas..."RAW". What we have here is "Kick you in the nuts" aggressiveness in the hops department. Very strong and very nice.
Taste: Freshly-cut grassy, oily hops stand up and physically assault your palate, beating them to an unrecognizeable pulp. An oily pine cone then wedges itself between your teeth and refuses to budge. Possibly one of the hoppiest beers I've ever had. Barely anything stands in the way of the avalanche of hops that invades your mouth. Finishes with a very long-lasting, mouth-puckering, lip-smacking bitterness. This is a 9% ABV beer but it is kicked aside by the myriad of hops that leave it trampled underfoot.
Mouthfeel: "Large". Full-bodied and sticky on the palate.
Drinkability: Folks...if you don't like hops, steer clear of this one. The burps this one kicked up were a symphony to witness. This is "the" beer for the evening.
RoyalT scores yet again with this hop monster.

Good caramel auburn color. Noticeable hop aroma still (I drank this about 8 months after I purchased it).
Great bitterness. I thought I totally ruined this beer sitting on it, but it held up true to the DIPA style. I promise, I will buy another bottle and drink it within 48 hours just to compare and contrast. Anyways, lots of caramel on the palate, but a stinging bitterness. Big mouthfeel of what I assume is Cascade hops among others.
EDIT: Could have a little more flavor hops instead of just all bittering. What I thought was an old dipa review, really didn't change much when having it 1 month old.

22oz bomber, from a late-night (I love this city) jaunt to a QFC (boss!) in the Denny Triangle.
This beer pours a clear medium orange-amber hue, with one finger of thin foamy white head, which settles quickly, leaving a decent vista of iceberg lace around the glass in the process. It smells of citrusy, herbal hops, and mild bready caramel malt. The taste is caramel/toffee malt, and a slackened leafy citrus hoppiness, buoyed, if that's your thing, by a subtle to enveloping booziness, depending on the sip, and the phase of the moon, I guess. The carbonation is on the low side of average, the body medium weight, in danger of turning to the light side, and coldly smooth. It finishes off-dry, the increasingly nondescript hop bitterness taking a final toll against and underwhelming malt presence.
As far as PNW DIPAs (acronym budget, spent!) go, this is fairly weak offering, flavour-wise. The booze, on the other hand - well rendered, and pretty innocuous. A trade-off, at best.

Day 3 of Thanks Msubulldog25 For This Beer I Could Not Acquire Otherwise. You rule, Brian!
Pretty much a quintessential Double IPA look: dirty white head is creamy and fluffy, lasting a good several minutes before thinning and never totally disappearing. The color is a rusty burnt orange with notable clarity.
Aroma has an excellent balance. There's a prevailing toffee-heavy maltiness mingled with an herbal, minty hop character. Doesn't scream "DOUBLE IPA" the way some do, as this is obviously not about Armageddon-level hoppiness. Not in the aroma, at least...
Ooh...very nice flavor. Herbal/minty, like the aroma, but a controlled grassy astringency comes in to thrill the tastebuds, especially if you're a hops lover. They're prickly, buoyant and quite bright without being anywhere near tongue-ripping. That's thanks to a caramel-y sweetness laid down by the malt, and there's a bit of apple cider-ish sweetness here too. Finish isn't terribly powerful or long, but mint, caramel and red apple meet there and stick around just long enough to make you want to take another sip, and fast. Easy, easy.
Not as creamy as I prefer the style to be, but good enough. Fairly sticky, while in the bubble department it delivers a nice tickle to the tongue. And slick enough to make it a smooth ride.
This is a nice example of the style, and one of the most drinkable, thanks to its balance and "where is it?" alcohol presence. I wonder if all Silver City stuff is this good? [Fairly Obscure Comparison Dept.: Middle Ages X Double IPA]

Pours a rather still orange-amber hue with almost no head. Aroma of biscuity malt, strong fruity hops, and light notes of tropical fruit. Palate is full of hops up front, with accents of pine and tropical fruit. The sweet malt offsets the bitterness before the swallow, but yields again on the finish, leading to a lasting hoppiness.
Body is full and creamy, a little richer than most IPAs, almost velvety like an ESB. Still, this is not a distraction but rather a fitting body for the flavor profile. A thoroughly enjoyable offering, cheers to my man Noah for bringing it over last week. Now I need to find more!

22oz bomb
appearance: served in my delirium chalice - autumunal amber body, forced foamy white cap with a sticky, filmy lace
smell: balance very evident in the aroma - big sweet malts, resinous piney hops, light citrus rind
taste: quite sweet - both from the citrus in the hops and the heavy malts that balance this thing out and almost overthrows the hops. Balanced with moderate bitterness. grapefruit rind, dash of lemon, pretty heavy on the booze
mouthfeel: big and sweet - not particularly how I prefer my IIPA's
overall: just ok - kind of a letdown

Taken from notes from Summer 2009. Previously reviewed but lost from the website.
Poured from 22 oz. bottle a nice sparkly amber with a foamy head that left just a bit of lacing.
The aroma consisted of a powerful punch of pine, grapefruit, citrus, and grass. Just a hint of malty sweetness.
The flavor followed the smell --- piney, citrusy hop bitterness up front with a sweet malt backbone that doesn't interfere with the fresh hops. This is a great tasting DIPA made with fresh Washington hops. This is not a balanced DIPA --- it is tremendously hop forward that takes advantage of fresh Yakima hops.
Nice carbonation to counter the sticky resin. Thicker mouthfeel than other DIPAs I've had.
Given this is a Spring seasonal release (just when I'm in the mood for IPAs after a long winter of stouts and porters), I could drink many of these. The high ABV might limit the number that I could have, but these taste good enough that I would drink only these in a sitting.

Thanks to my WA friends for this one.
Pours a coppery burnt orange. Smells great; not too strong but enough to get a hint at what's in store. Notes of cascade and columbus hops (as stated on the bottle).
Not as orangey and flowery as my So Cal IPA's but a good effort nonetheless. Tastes solid with a nice finish. Not too bitter which is something I like in a DIPA.
Well done Silver City.

Thanks to mughugger for this 650 mL capped bottle.
A: The DIPA is amber, more orange than brown. The ale is rather clear, showing off a bright shine. A finger plus of white foam has left thin patches of lace around the rim of the glass.
S: Orange peel is in overload, thickening up the nose with bitter sweetness. A strong caramel backbone doesn't back down, matching the hops nicely.
T: The ale is prickly, leaping off the tongue with zesty bitterness. The orange peel mixes with pepper, lemon and grass and comes across very strong. Mid-sip an interesting floral flavor emerges, complimenting the citrus bitterness. Caramel malts add a base for the hops to sit upon.
M: The ale is big but it never trips over itself; rhe malts stay in their place and the hops in theirs. The hop profile nicely defines and directs the ale; I'm just along for the ride.
D: The 9% is well hidden, rarely betraying its warmth. Silver City really nails the hop profile, resulting in a very approachable DIPA.

Clear golden copper. Dense beige frothy head. Big tangled sheets of lace.
Super floral and citrus. herbal resins. sweet pale malt lingers in the background.
Rush of juicy citrus, bitter grapefruit, pine, floral, spicy resins. Toasty, light caramel, touch of booze. Big ol bitterness.
Medium body. sticky and drying. slow and low carbonation. just enough. some creaminess to the body. some acidity.
Drinkability is great for abv. there is a little kick. Plenty of hops make this one a real Pass Whooper.

Pours a nice amber color, with a massive white head and tons of carbonation. Smell is all hops, somewhat cedary and woody, no real floral nose to it.
Taste is sweet malts, with a bit of buttery slickness and a blast of pine-tree and woodsy hops.
With all the hops and carbonation, this is not an easy beer to drink in any quantity. It's almost like drinking chopped hop buds at times.
This beer was a bit uncomfortable to drink, despite the nice crisp taste. Would be a good beer to drink while watching the leaves turn red.

NASHVILLE (BP) -- In the wake of the Connecticut school shootings, New York Mayor Bloomberg said the country needs President Obama "to send a bill to Congress to fix this problem." Maybe that statement reflects a quintessential American attitude, a can-do spirit (though I hope we've not concluded that the prime fixers are the president and Congress).
We all want to see something done, within reason and the Constitution, to lessen the chance of such horrors. But we need to be careful in our rush to "fix" things that we don't presume to be smarter or more able than reality would warrant.
Take the case of childhood death at the hands of drunk drivers, who, of course, kill many people of all ages. The DUI-based killing of kids averages between 200 to 300 a year, a slaughter of thousands of innocents over the past 15 years. In that same period, about a hundred students have been shot to death on campuses, grade school through college, from Columbine to Virginia Tech to Sandy Hook.
What's the fix? Perhaps we should look to Sweden, whose blood alcohol standard is .02, as opposed to the common .08 in the U.S. -- the same Sweden which links fines to income, charging some drivers tens of thousands of dollars for a single DUI episode. And in Norway, first offenders are assigned three weeks of hard labor.
Does the Bible give guidance on these issues? Certainly we're not to murder or get drunk or put our neighbors in danger because of our negligence. But it's hard to find specifics on these issues for personal behavior and public policy. The apostle Paul told Timothy that some wine might be good for stomach problems; Jesus told His disciples that they should keep a couple of swords handy when they hit the road. But Scripture says nothing particular about pistols, which didn't appear until the 15th century in Europe, or distilled spirits, which surfaced in Italy in the 13th century. Both are clearly dangerous, but good people can differ on what exactly we should do with them.
Most Christians think it is acceptable to employ deadly force in the defense of one's family, and even oneself. This is what the Founders, who were familiar with tyranny and frontier dangers, had in mind when they put a right to bear arms in the Constitution. There is always the threat, however remote, that government will go rogue (as on Kristallnacht in 1938 Germany), will indulge outlaws (as in Klan-ridden Neshoba County, Miss., in 1964) or will show itself helpless to protect the citizenry (as in the "Bleeding Kansas" slavery strife of the 1850s). So it is fair to ask what sort of equipment would you need to make thugs think twice about coming after you, your household and your neighbors (presumably something between a derringer and an RPG).
But if you only want to defend, why do you need an "assault" rifle? For one thing, the name is hypberbolic, as those familiar with real assault weapons (e.g., the M-16 and AK-47) well know. But couldn't this help? Maybe. Still, one has to wonder why Switzerland has less than a third our gun-death rate when around a million households have military-type weapons, many with fully-automatic, machine gun-like fire. There must be something else in play here.
Charles Krauthammer points to our lame response to warning signs in such menacing souls as Jared Loughner (Tucson) and Seung-Hui Cho (Virginia Tech). Mike Huckabee suggests a link to the ban on public prayer in schools. Or perhaps it's a confluence of factors, as in Adam Lanza, who was the product of a broken home, a person whose mental health was impaired, a player of violent video games and a Goth enthusiast, as were Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold of Columbine. So shall we fix things by closing down Goth-supply stores and websites, forbidding kids to play "Assassin's Creed," repealing no-fault divorce, lowering the threshold for commitment to asylums, and renewing the practice of Bible reading over school intercoms? It's hard to say.
Of course, for some, the answer is simple -- more gun control (though Connecticut had relatively tight laws). Determined to "not let a crisis go to waste," they've picked up the old agitprop (agitation and propaganda) technique of "waving the bloody shirt," stirring crowds to "charge the barricades." Of course, some barricades need charging, and there's a time to "Remember the Alamo," but it's fair to ask whether things are being blown out of proportion; whether relative rarities are cast as grievous generalities; and whether their indignation is irresponsibly selective (the sort of thing you saw when NBC and HBO magnified the death of the 22-year-old gay Matthew Shepard, killed by straights, but ignored the death of 13-year-old Jesse Dirkhising, killed by gays). For those whose gods are politics and power, it matters not at all. The point is to leverage every tragedy, cashing in legislatively, codificationally and juridically -- rational discourse be hanged.
It would be nice if the government could "fix" the problem of relatively rare schoolhouse shootings, whether through reducing or multiplying the number of gun bearers, but it can't repeal the Fall of Man as told in Scripture. Nothing is foolproof since fools are so ingenious.
If the pursuit of utopia is your cup of tea, or if you count original sin as bothersome fiction, then have at it with your fixes. Better, though, to despair of true fixes, and work, instead, on managing a bad situation. Perhaps the Lord will send an antiseptic-like awakening to our land, and we'll enjoy a season of decline in slaughter -- on the school grounds, in the streets, at the clinics, in the homes and on the roads. Perhaps more will simply come to their natural Romans 1 and 2 senses. Either way, the comprehensive fix won't arrive till Jesus returns.
In the meantime, we do what we can, neither paralyzed by pessimism nor addled by optimism -- biblically realistic. Salt and light. Our brother's keeper. Good Samaritan. Playing Barnabas and Jeremiah, Jonathan and John the Baptist, Apollos and Dorcas, Deborah and Job, according to our wiring, calling and circumstances.

The new PORT guidelines focus on improving physical as well as mental health.
The Schizophrenia Patient Outcomes Research Team (PORT) has issued updated treatment recommendations that not only include detailed advice about medication and psychosocial treatments but also address, for the first time, common problems in this population such as smoking cessation, substance abuse treatment, and weight loss. The authors note that the goal is not only to help clinicians and patients understand how to increase chances of schizophrenia recovery (albeit modest in scope), but also how to reduce the risk of additional life-threatening medical problems such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The PORT recommendations, issued in 1998 and first updated in 2003, were funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the National Institute of Mental Health. Researchers at the University of Maryland wrote the latest update after consulting with leading schizophrenia experts. In contrast to efforts like the American Psychiatric Association practice guidelines for schizophrenia and the Texas Medication Algorithm Project, which attempt to address the full range of situations clinicians encounter, the PORT review is more conservative in scope. The PORT authors limit their recommendations to those interventions that have been tested in randomized controlled trials.
Medication Advice
Since the last PORT review, two large clinical trials have compared efficacy of first- and second-generation antipsychotics: the Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE) and the Cost Utility of the Latest Antipsychotic Drugs in Schizophrenia Study (CUtLASS). Based on the findings of these studies, the PORT reviewers noted that in many cases, first- and second-generation antipsychotics are equally effective for treating schizophrenia.
First-episode psychosis. The PORT review recommends using any antipsychotic except clozapine (Clozaril) and olanzapine (Zyprexa), because these drugs are most likely to cause significant weight gain and other metabolic side effects. Because patients experiencing psychosis for the first time are both more responsive to medications and more likely to have side effects, antipsychotics should be prescribed at doses that are lower — generally about half — compared with those recommended for patients with chronic schizophrenia.
Relapse. Patients who initially responded to medication but suffer a relapse of symptoms have several options. The PORT team recommends any first- or second-generation antipsychotic other than clozapine, and stipulates that medication be prescribed at the lowest effective doses to reduce side effects. Choice of which antipsychotic to use depends on patient preference, past medication response, side effects, and medical history.
Maintenance therapy. Studies that have followed patients with first-episode or chronic schizophrenia for one to two years have concluded that continuous maintenance antipsychotic treatment reduces risk of relapse. The PORT review recommends that intermittent maintenance therapy — a strategy of stopping antipsychotics until symptoms reappear or worsen — be reserved only for patients who refuse to continue taking an antipsychotic or for those who cannot tolerate the side effects.
For patients with chronic schizophrenia, both first- and second-generation antipsychotics are equally effective at preventing relapse. During maintenance therapy, first-generation drugs may be used at lower doses than those required to treat the initial (acute) episode, while second-generation drugs can be prescribed at whatever dose was effective in the initial phase.
Long-acting injectable antipsychotics provide another option in maintenance therapy, especially for patients who have trouble taking medication. The PORT review concluded that it is unclear whether injectable medications are any more effective than pills at preventing relapse, mainly because of a lack of randomized controlled studies.

Leadership and Service Learning
The Office of Student life strives to develop and foster leadership skills and volunteerism within all GHC students through involvement in RSOs and other leadership programs. Some programs require application and acceptance, while others are open to any interested student. The OSL believes the leadership process begins by strengthening individual leadership skills and facilitating a sense of responsibility to your community. We offer opportunities to develop fundamental leadership skills that are necessary to maintaining successful personal relationships, contributing to campus organizations and participating as citizens in our community.
Student Government
The Student Government Association (SGA) is composed of student and faculty/staff representatives who work together for the betterment of the student body and its interests. The student representatives of the SGA are the designated representatives (officers) from all the student clubs and organizations at all campuses; plus a limited number of unaffiliated student representative slots called student-at-large positions. Students interested in serving in an at-large position should contact the Office of Student Life for an application. Although the SGA includes representatives from the faculty and staff, a student representative serves as chairperson of the SGA and is selected by the other council members.
The primary purpose of the SGA is to serve as the voice of the student body and act as a liaison between students and college administration in order to help formulate just and proper regulations pertaining to student government and to assist those persons designated to enforce the regulations. The SGA operates under the Constitution of the Student Body of Georgia Highlands College. The SGA also assists the Office of Student Life with its activities and events in a manner that strives to result in the greatest possible advantage and satisfaction of all students, both as individuals and as part of the student body as a whole. The SGA also operates as the student activity fee budget committee that determines how the collected student activity fee monies are to be allocated for the upcoming year.
Students also have the opportunity to serve on several institutional committees to assist faculty and staff in the setting, review and discussion of college policies and procedures. Committees available for student representation and participation include the following:
Student Affairs Committee
Student Judicial Committee
Technology Committee
Affirmative Action Committee
Students interested in serving on an institutional committee should contact the Office of Student Life.
Emerging Leaders
Students who participate in the Emerging Leaders program receive leadership development training through a series of workshops and short training sessions. Students who successfully complete the program are better prepared to be campus leaders and expand on their leadership skills during their time at GHC. Students must be nominated by a faculty/staff member to be eligible to participate in the program.
Coordinators: John Spranza firstname.lastname@example.com, Megan Youngblood email@example.com, Lyric Sprinkle firstname.lastname@example.com, and Alexis Carter firstname.lastname@example.com
Northwest Crescent Leadership Alliance (NWCLA)
The Northwest Crescent Leadership Alliance is a collaborative foundational student leadership program that, through experiential learning, exists to develop, prepare and empower emerging student leaders for enhanced campus and community engagement. This cooperative leadership development program is a collaboration between GHC, Shorter, Dalton, Reinhardt and Southern Polytechnic. Applications are available early Fall.
- Through this program students will develop a thorough understanding of Kouzes and Posners 5 practices of student leadership
- This program will prepare emerging student leaders to take the next step in their leadership journey
- Through this program students will be empowered to use knowledge based skills in their involvement on and off campus
Volunteerism and Service-Learning
GHC offers a wide variety of opportunities for student to give back to their communities. Students interested in volunteerism and service-learning are encouraged to contact Juliana Breithaupt.
Service Learning Coordinator: Juliana Breithaupt email@example.com

PASCO, Wash. - Pasco Police said they are continuing to investigate the death of a 61-year-old man as a possible homicide.
On Thursday, the Franklin County Coroner said the death of Peter Martinez 'does not appear to be suspicious.' But Police said the motel room in which he was found is rather suspicious.Martinez died from inhaling smoke and carbon monoxide. There's evidence there was a fire in the room he was found in at the Tahitian Inn and police are still trying to determine how that fire started. The room was also left in disarray, with tables and chairs overturned.
Investigators are waiting on the toxicology report and believe that will provide more answers in this case, as well.

1. Make a marble run out of junk.
2. Mail yourselves postcards when you go somewhere for the day, even around town. It's a hoot when kids get snail mail. Later in the week they'll be glad to get a card reading, Hi Me. I had a great time today riding a paddle-boat with Grandpa. We both got wet. Bye self!
3. Learn to play a free instrument you already have. (Really, it's in your kitchen.)
4. Learn chemistry using pennies.
5. Let yeast blow up a balloon. Have kids write their names on balloons with a permanent marker. Using a funnel, let them fill each balloon with 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon dry yeast. Add a little warm water to each balloon, tie shut, and shake to mix. Then put them outside on a hot sunny day. Check to see how big the balloons have gotten every ten minutes or so. Guess what might happen to balloons that get too big.
6. Subversively advance geographic knowledge using a wall map.
7. Designate your yard as a nature area.

Council: new rules good news for rogue trader victims
– Councillor Alice Grice, Vice-Chair of Nottinghamshire County Council's Community Safety Committee
Elderly and disabled people are often targeted by doorstep criminals so these new rights will make it easier for them to get their money back if they have been a victim of a scam.
We deal with some heartbreaking cases where vulnerable local people have been left traumatised by a sales scam or shoddy workmanship carried out by cowboy trader.
It is good news that they will also be able to claim compensation for any distress caused.

Eagles Fall to Camels, 6-1, in A-Sun Home Opener
FORT MYERS, Fla. – In its second Atlantic Sun Conference match of the season, the FGCU women's tennis team fell to Campbell, 6-1, on Thursday at the FGCU Tennis Complex. Sophomore Morgan Bechtel (Toledo, Ohio/St. Ursula Academy) picked up a victory in the No. 4 singles position.
FGCU's record drops to 3-2 (0-2 A-Sun) on the year and Campbell's record improves to 4-4 (1-0 A-Sun) this season.
The Eagles received some unfortunate news heading into the contest as sophomore Melissa Narzissenfeld (Tampa, Fla./Academy of the Holy Names) has been ruled out for the remainder of the spring with an injury, prompting a few student-athlete to play a higher position.
"Losing Mel for the season was a shock for the team," said third-year head coach Jennifer Gabou. "However, Saturday will be a great opportunity for them to rebound in another A-Sun conference contest."
Campbell swept the opening doubles point as the Eagles made a strong push in the No. 1 and No. 2 positions. CU's Lisa Sutton and Dominek Wallaart defeated the FGCU team of sophomore Bibiana Almeida (Porto, Portugal/Schiller International School) and senior Iris Rendon (San Antonio, Texas/Tyler Junior College), 8-5, and the freshmen pair of Gyanna Mandic (Oshowa, Canada/Edison Academies) and Bettina Botha (Cape Town, South Africa/De Kuilen HS) fell to the Camel duo of Karolina Chernaya and Borislava Nikolava, 8-6.
Bechtel earned the lone singles victory in the dual for the Eagles, as she took down Anais Gomas, 6-2, 6-0. The Camels would take the remainder of the singles contests on their way to the 6-1 win.
FGCU will return to the court on Saturday for another A-Sun conference dual with USC Upstate at the FGCU Tennis Complex beginning at 10 a.m. Results and recaps from the competition will be available at www.FGCUAthletics.com following the match.
