Rios to face Estrada
By Johnny B'
Professional boxing returns to the State of Kansas on Friday as undefeated lightweight Brandon Rios (22-0-1, 16 KOs) takes on Lorenzo Estrada (3-15-1) in what looks like a mismatch on paper. However, if you look closely at the record of Estrada, it tells a different story. In Estrada's last bout, he went the distance with Frankie Archuleta 25-7-1 and as the underdog in a 2008 bout Estrada upset Willie Villanueva who was 9-0 at the time. In addition, one of Estrada's three wins was a hard fought 12 round decision over tough Texan Jacobo Gomez. In the co-main event, light-middleweight Bernardo Guereca (15-8-1) of El Paso, Texas, takes on New Mexico's Joseph Gomez (16-2-1). The show takes place at the Garden City Convention Center and is promoted by Robert Gonzalez & Bad Boyz Boxing.

Shibata wins OPBF 154lb belt
By Joe Koizumi
Unheralded Akio Shibata (13-5-1, 7 KOs), 154, surprisingly captured the OPBF and Japanese super-welter belt as he pounded out a close but well-received unanimous decision (116-114, 16-113 and 117-113) over defending titlist, southpaw veteran Yuki Nonaka (18-8-2, 7 KOs), 154, over twelve upset rounds on Sunday in Osaka, Japan. Nonaka had both his regional and national titles at stake, and Shibata took all with a single victory. Shibata was aggressive from the start, effectively throwing direct rights without leading lefts to the southpaw champ. Inexplicably the champ remained less aggressive only to yield the initiative to the willing mixer all the way. Promoter: Amagasaki Promotions.
The King of Kong
Ringside report and photos by Chris Cozzone
It might've been Halloween, but the only thing scary was the action between a Colombian cazadores in search of a title, and a bantamweight monster, who entered the ring in a gorilla suit, chained and led by a hot blonde, and left without his belt, a dozen whirlwind rounds later.
Yielding up this year's gem, Treasure Island, in the first-ever fight card held there, saw one king toppled, one King return and another former king turn color commentator . . . Click here for more

The bout is being proposed for February or March of 2010 with the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California and MGM Grand of Las Vegas, Nevada as possible sites for the fight. Marquez/Vazquez have had three epic bouts with Vazquez leading the series 2-1.
Potter opens Thailand gym
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Thailand-based Australian promoter Daniel Potter has opened a world class gymnasium in Bangkok, Thailand that will be the training venue for his boxers which include former WBA 130 pound champion Yodsanan Sor Nanthachai (58-3-1, 47 KOs) and former world rated 140 pounder Saddam Kietyongyuth (18-0, 14 KOs) also recently signed world rated bantamweight Leon Moore (25-2, 22 KOs) of Georgetown, Guyana. The gymnasium features two full size boxing rings and the latest boxing equipment on the four floor venue. Boxers will have their own accommodation on the third floor of the four floor gym.
Potter said, "We are confident that Leon Moore who has signed with our promotional company, can win a world title and we will give him that opportunity as soon as possible. He defeated former IBF 108 pound champion Mauricio Pastrana in September which was a very good win.
"Our 140 pound boxer Saddam Kietyongyuth, 26 years, is a outstanding talent. He has been out of action for several months due to injury but he will be back in action soon. He also looks to be a future world champion.
"Former world WBA super featherweight champion Yodsanan Sor Nantachai is back training and will fight soon. He has had a great career defeating such outstanding boxers as Steve Forbes, Lamont Pearson and Lakva Sim in WBA title bouts. We will welcome boxers from around the world to train out our gym."

By Ron Jackson
After three rounds of holding and mauling Mlungisi Dlamini landed the first decent punch of the fight to score a fourth round knockout over Zolani Marali to win the vacant IBO lightweight belt at Emperors Palace near Kempton Park on Saturday night. One punch, a short straight right to the jaw was all that Dlamini 61.18 kg needed to add the IBO belt to the WBF belt that he already holds. (more…)

In the first bout, Bercier won a six round unanimous decision over Taylor in an outstanding six round war on June 27, 2009 in Youngstown, Ohio. With the win, Taylor moves to 11-1-1 (6KO's), while Bercier of Great Falls, Montana, falls to 8-11-1 (4KO's). (more…)

Williamson rocked Austin in round one with a series of right hands. Austin, however, turned the tide in round four with a big right uppercut on the chin to knock down Williamson. Williamson barely beat the count, but referee Russell Mora waved it off.
Unbeaten welterweight "King" James De La Rosa (20-0, 12 KOs) cruised to a ten round unanimous decision over Lenin "Volcano" Arroyo (20-11-1, 4 KOs). De La Rosa dropped Arroyo with a body shot in round six and was credited with a second knockdown in round eight by referee Jay Nady, although it was more of a trip. Arroyo showed a lot of heart to finish strong over the last two rounds. Scores were 100-88, 100-88, 99-94.
Heavyweight Bermane Stiverne (18-1-1, 17 KOs) scored a seventh round TKO over 276lb Jerry Butler (8-7-1, 8 KOs). Referee Kenny Weeks stepped in to end it with Butler being battered on the ropes. Time was 1:34.

K9: "Shane is my dream fight"
By Rick Scharmberg

Bundrage (29-4, 17 KOs), of Detroit, Michigan is the top contender in the IBF junior middleweight rankings. He is rated number two, but the number one spot is vacant. The champion is Cory Spinks. "I am the mandatory to fight Cory Spinks. I fought three title eliminators already. What do I have to do to get the fight?" asked Bundrage. "Now that The Contender gave me my release, I am ready for the world of boxing. Junior middleweights, even welterweights, I'm ready for any of those guys," he said. (more…)

By Tom Hebert, FightNews Canada

With Galen taking a barrage of punching with both his hands down by his side, refereee Len Koivisto had little choice but to wave off the contest at the 1:32 mark on the third round. (more…)
Report/gallery: Camacho-Campas
Ringside report and gallery by Chris Cozzone & Ricardo Trujillo
It wasn't the prettiest fight ever seen in El Paso. But it might be one of the more controversial ones held in recent years.
If you had told Hector "Machito" Camacho Jr. that going ten rounds with 108-fight Mexican veteran Ramon Luis "Yory Boy" Campas also meant going ten rounds with Texas, he might've talked promoter Zeferino Ramirez into a safer fight site . . . say, Afghanistan or across the border to the world's murder capital, Juarez . . .

Fightwriter: Agbeko-Perez
By Graham Houston
After his impressive, upset win over Vic Darchinyan in July, Joseph Agbeko is back on Showtime on Saturday night to defend his IBF bantamweight title against mandatory contender Yonnhy Perez, and the fight should be a good one. I'm glad to see these talented and well-matched fighters getting the opportunity to top the bill on the first boxing event at the Treasure Island casino hotel, with Don King promoting. Agbeko, from Ghana in West Africa but now living in New York, was once one of boxing's well-kept secrets. Now the secret's out. The Ghanaian is a durable, crowd-pleasing boxer-fighter who seemed to handle Darchinyan much more easily than the scores suggested. (more…)

Camacho defeats Campas
Middleweight Hector Camacho Jr. (50-3-1, 27 KOs) won a ten round split decision over former world champion Yory Boy Campas (92-15-1, 74 KOs) on Friday night at the Don Haskins Convention Center in El Paso, Texas. The bout featured a lot of clinching as the speedy 31-year-old Camacho looked to hit and grab the slower 38-year-old Campas, who mostly seemed unable to pull the trigger. Camacho was deducted three points by referee Laurence Cole during the contest. A point for a low blow in round three, a point for a punch after the bell in round four and a point for holding in round ten. Campas was cut over the left eye from an unintentional headbutt in round five, but neither fighter was down or hurt. In the end, scores were 95-92, 96-91 Camacho, 95-92 Campas. After the bout, former world champion Fernando Vargas announced he was interested in a comeback fight against Camacho. Where Campas goes from here remains to be seen as he is now 1-5-1 in his last seven fights.
WBA #1 super bantamweight Antonio Escalante (22-2, 14 KOs) scored an impressive second round KO over Carlos Fulgencio (11-4-1, 7 KOs). After a very exciting round one where both boxers landed big shots, Escalante dropped Fulgencio with a big right hand. Fulgencio tried to get up but fell back to the canvas and the fight was stopped. Time was 1:17.
Welterweight Abel Perry (12-3, 4 KOs) scored a fifth round TKO over Bobby Joe Valdez (9-7-2, 4 KOs). Referee Rafael Ramos waved it off at :32 just as Valdez was headed to the canvas.
Middleweight prospect David Medina (21-2, 10 KOs) pounded out an eight round unanimous decision over "Macho" Miguel Hernandez (20-10, 10 KOs). Scores were 80-72, 79-73, 78-74.
Kiattaweesuk stops Hui
By Ray Wheatley–World of Boxing
World bantamweight contender Tantong Kiattaweesuk (13-0) was impressive in scoring a four round stoppage of Wan Jun Hui (5-9-1) to retain IBF Pan Pacific bantamweight title at Tambon Dantabtako, Ratchaburi, Thailand on Thursday. Southpaw Kiattaweesuk attacked the tall Chinese boxer from first bell cutting off the ring continually to score with effective head and body punches. The importation scored with accurate long range punches on the back move but they did not have the power to gain Kiattaweesuk's respect. In round four IBF#14 Kiattaweesuk dropped Hui three times at which point the referee Sanong Au-Im crowned the Thai boxer at 2.40 of the round. For more details and photos click here…

Smith edges Quigley
By Alexey Sukachev
In a grueling clinchfest, Paul Smith (28-1, 15 KOs) wrestled the British national super middleweight title with a split decision over previous titlist Scott Quigley (13-2, 6 KOs) at Echo Arena in Liverpool. Both fighters turned the contest into an ugly and uneventful stinker with a lot of grappling and wreslting. Quigley was a better man throughout the first half of the fight but the challenger proved to be stronger down the stretch. Neither fighter was ever rocked except for a badly tired champion during the last round. Smith was cut over his right eye in the tenth. At the end two judges saw it in favour of the local hero: 116-113 and 116-112, while the third one scored the contest for Scott Quigley: 114-116. This reporter saw it 115-114 – for Quigley, and SKY Sports' analyst and former world champion Jim Watt made it a draw – 114-114.
James DeGale (4-0, 3 KOs), 2008 Beijing middleweight gold medalist for the United Kingdom, stopped an unbeaten but hugely overmatched Ally Morrison (2-1-1) at the beginning of the third. DeGale used his fascinating speed and reflexes to frustrate his foe in the first couple of rounds. In round three, former amateur star went in for kill and got the job done with a series of powerful left hooks. Morrison wasn't been down but looked dazed enough for the referee to stop the contest.
Another British Olympian Frankie Gavin (4-0, 4 KOs) easily notched his fourth consecutive knockout win with the second-round stoppage of shorter and hugely overmatched Steve Saville (19-7, 8 KOs). 24-year old Gavin was all over the veteran from the beginning, punishing him mercilessly at the ropes. At 0:27 of the second round, Saville was downafter a quick counter combo by Gavin. He got himself upright but was too shaky to be allowed to fight on by the referee.

Campas, Camacho promise KOs
Former world champion Luis Ramon "Yory Boy" Campas (92-14-1, 74 KOs) has vowed to punish Hector "Machito" Camacho Jr., when they collide tonight at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas. At age 38, the veteran of 107 professional fights came in at a ripped and ready 152 pounds, his lowest weight in nearly a decade (he weighed 151.5 for a March 2000 fight against Oba Carr). The bout is billed as "Revenge of the Son," referring Campas' controversial draw with Hector Camacho Sr. in May, but Yory Boy is looking for a little payback in this fight himself. "I think he'll fight the same way his father did in Florida. He'll run away or he'll come in and hug. But I'll cut off the ring and, sooner or later, I'll end it!" Camacho Jr. (49-3-1, 27 KOs), meanwhile, has also vowed to finish Campas early. "I'll knock him out," he proclaimed. "He's done what he's done, but now it's Junior Time." After weighing in 5.5 pounds over the 154lb super welterweight limit, Camacho gave up his WBC CABOFE belt, and will have a 7.5lb weight advantage over the heavy-handed Yory Boy when they meet in the ring later tonight. Bobby Czyz and Arnie Rosenthal will call the action from ringside on tonight's pay-per-view telecast.
"LATIN INVASION 2″ will be held at UTEP's Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas. The event will be on live on Pay-Per-View. Tickets for this event available at TicketMaster, or can be purchased at the Don Haskins Center box office, at 915-747-5234.

If there's one thing the Netherlands is famous for, it's tulips. Photographer Normann Szkop has documented the colorful fields of Anna Paulowna, a town at the northern tip of the country's North Holland region. To capture the 100-plus image set, Szkop took to the skies, revealing the millions of flowers that dot the landscape, forming an enormous patchwork quilt of color. Claython Pender, the pilot that helped the photographer to capture the aerial images, documents the journey on his personal blog, and Szkop has uploaded all the photos to Flickr.

Goals Leaders (league):
Liverpool: Kuyt 2; Agger, Alonso, Bellamy, Crouch, Fowler, Gonzalez, Riise 1
Aston Villa: Barry 3; Agbonlahor, Angel, Moore 2; Mellberg, Ridgewell 1
Referee: Steve Bennett
The squad I'd like to see:
Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Warnock
Gerrard, Alonso, Sissoko, Riise
Crouch Fowler
Tougher than usual to predict the front line. The official site has been promoting a couple of features with Kuyt, a "big interview" and an article where he speaks about how happy his father is coming to Anfield this Saturday. This would lead me to believe he's got a role to play in the game, but the BBC is claiming that he'll miss out due to calf injury, which I hadn't heard until today. As Bellamy is also out, this would leave Crouch and Fowler to reprise their pairing from Wednesday. It'd be nice to see Robbie get an extended run, because despite his age and fitness, he'll always be able to find the back of the net, which is exactly what Liverpool needs at the moment, but you have to think he'll continue to be 4th choice striker.
Think we'll see Warnock and Riise on the left flank. Liverpool must defend better down the left to prevent Agbonlahor from doing damage. Not only is he capable of running rampant, but the left side has been particularly vulnerable when Gonzalez or Aurelio has been paired with Riise. I think Warnock is a better defensive option, and Riise has played well offensively as of late from the LM position.
Once again, I'm sure there will be questions as to where Gerrard lines up, but I think he'll stay on the right. The pairing of Alonso and Sissoko seems to be Rafa's first choice; Liverpool needs the creativity and passing of Alonso, and, as many others have said, we saw Liverpool's defensive frailties on Wednesday after Sissoko was subbed out. It's almost a shame that Gerrard is so malleable that he's forced out of his preferred position, but it's reassuring to see all the quotes in the news this week about how he'll play any position for the team, and it's obvious this is how the manager prefers it. Hopefully, this means they'll be less sulking and shouting at teammates than there was against Manchester United.
Liverpool will have to start brightly on Saturday. After some of the recent performances, I just want to see them come out looking to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and imposing themselves on the other team. Villa has been playing well as of late, and while they haven't had the best of luck at Anfield in the past, the longer the game goes scoreless, the more they'll grow in confidence, and the harder it will be to break them down.
Maybe the hysterics over the turncoat board member will spark something in the team, and Liverpool will come out with a point to prove, because this bad spell isn't going away until every player starts playing better.

Spartanburg County Sheriff's deputies have arrested a man they say tried to sexually assault a jogger.
Kenneth Wayne Watts is charged with assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct third degree after the reported attack on Tuesday night.
A woman said she was running on West Autumn Ridge Road in Moore after 7:00 p.m. when she said she heard footsteps behind her. The woman stopped and said the man asked for directions, but then grabbed her by the waist and shoulder.
The woman fought off the man who then ran away, but she ran after him. The victim followed him - while calling 911 and her husband - to a home on Smith Road.
A deputy talked to Watts, 46, who claimed he was "going to rape" the woman according to the SCSO incident report.
Watts was arrested and taken to the Spartanburg County Detention Center where he was being held Thursday morning on $50,000 bond.

A year exploring
May 2, 2010
I want to spend a year or two of my life going across the United States on foot or on bike, and don't know where to start or how to finance such a trip.
For a while now I've wanted to spend an extended period of time exploring and traveling, both in cities and in the countryside, and I've decided that the sooner, the better. However, I'm still a student right now, and I've never been employed. I have a parent paying most of the bills, so I'm not going to graduate in debt, but I also only have about $1300 in my name, all as a result of $1900 in scholarships which I've been spending gradually.
I don't want to go on this trip unprepared, and I don't want to go without an ability to make it either self-sustaining or operating solely off earned money. Making this trip on a parents' dime would be entirely counter to its goals.
So, I have a few questions, but hopefully other MeFites know more about this than I do and know the answers to the questions I don't know to ask...
- What should I have and/or pack? I'm pretty sure a netbook and a camera are necessities, but what should I have in terms of food? Clothing? Should I carry a cell phone? CD player? [I haven't made the switch to mp3 players yet.] What should I pack these all in so that I can carry them?
- How can I finance this sort of expedition? I have a decent collection of Magic: the Gathering cards which I've made some money by selling off, but I don't want to be completely without a collection, either; plus, that can only get me so much. Would freelance photography be practical? Blogging? Could I make any money by writing about it?
- What sort of accommodations should I expect? Would CouchSurfing be a reasonable way to find place to stay, or should I expect to sleep in motels? How much would I expect to pay for sleeping in motels/hotels?
- How much should I expect to pay for food? How should I obtain food, and what food should I get?
- What method of locomotion should I use? I'm not particularly experienced with bikes, but I have one, and they're definitely faster than walking. On the other hand, having a bike would force me to use it the entire time, and that's not always conducive to exploring strange cities or uneven locales. Walking is easier, but slower. Driving is straight out - too expensive, and not at all the type of travel I want to do. Plus I don't have a car.

Let me be the first person to suggest you switch to an MP3 player. They come real cheap now - you can get a 2 GB player for as little as $40 and fill it up with new music every day. Your CD player will skip. A lot.

Well, that's a pretty broad question. I recommend reading A Walk Across America, a memoir of a Christian dude who, well, walked across America.
Other than that, get an np3 player and some good boots. And a map.

This is a very big question. Having done a 2-month bike tour in the U.S. I guess I am narrowly qualified to offer a little bit of advice...
Bike touring and hiking are great ways to see a country, but they are slow and can be expensive. You will need a lot of food, and you will often have to pay for camping or hotels (unless you stealth-camp), and you will spend most of your time on the move. Many state parks have discounted hiker/biker campsites for under $5. Even with a very minimal $10 a day food budget, minimum expenses are $15/day * 30 = $450/month = $5400/yr. I'd expect a more realistic budget is two or three times that, especially if you want to do things in cities.
You'd have a hard time trying to make a living while travelling like this. Even blogging is quite a challenge on the road, where you're often away from electricity (let alone wifi), and you're too exhausted to write. And unless you are already a professional writer I have a tough time imagining anyone paying for your dispatches.
I think a better option for you might be to pick two or three cities, sublet an apartment, and try to get part-time work at a cafe or hostel for a few months at a time. This is the "working-holiday" type trip which is popular with Australians here in Canada, perhaps because the cost of airfare makes a shorter trip not worth it. Depending on your origin there might be a visa class that suits you. You can travel between cities by bus or train or plane quite inexpensively. While you're in a city you'll have lots of time to explore and get to know it, and you can make friends and meet people.

By the way the standard way touring expeditions are financed is through a few years of hard work and saving up at home. If this isn't an option then a working holiday is really the only viable way that I can see.

If you're thinking bike, get over to
and start reading as many journals as possible to see what kinds of set ups people used, how they ate, where they slept, and the whole bit. Lots of journals have gear lists, some have budgets, all talk about sleeping and eating.
journal is highly entertaining and informative, and I found it helpful as I planned my first cross-country trip. He was a college student doing things on the cheap, so that should help you with a lot of your questions. If you want to go the walking route instead, there's
American Discovery Trail
. Even if you don't do the trail, that site and the
Trail Journals
site can get you started. But take special note of how difficult either form of journey is. I'd say that the cycling is much easier than the walking in a lot of ways because the bike carries the weight of your gear and because it's easier to be in places where you don't have to carry more than a day's worth of food. Have you ever backpacked? I don't know any backpackers who carry laptops. Camped? If not, you need to try some shorter trips to get a feel for what to expect on a longer one and figure out your gear.
It sounds like you need to do a lot, a lot more online research to get a better sense of what you want to do and how as you sound really underprepared so far. I used libraries for internet access and didn't take a computer. Didn't do an mp3 player either--just a tiny radio and that mostly for weather updates. And the best way to get money, as usual, is to get a job and earn the money before you go. I worked at a nursing home for a year in addition to going to school full time and working at another job to get money for a trip. No one is going to pay to read a blog about your trip since there are so many out there for free. From my experience, 3 months on the road (about 4500 miles) was enough to learn a lot and see a lot and do a lot and much, much easier to finance than an entire year, so you might want to consider a shorter trip if $$ is tight.

Keep in mind that you'll probably find yourself eating much more if you're pedalling a bicycle (or walking) all day.

One of the more epic rides (on cgoab) is Pete Gostelow's
A Long Ride Home
, which was what he decided to do instead of flying back to the UK from a stay in Japan. Currently, Pete is doing the
Big Africa Cycle
. Not to discourage you, he's currently in Dakar recovering from a machete attack during an apparent robbery which severed tendons in his wrist. He's determined to finish, though. His approach is about as serious and professional as I've seen, but he's still doing this all on a minimal budget. Part of his technique is similar to couchsurfing -- arranging host accomodation in advance.

trip and a half
on May 3, 2010
While I appreciate the idea of such a trip, I think you're biting off way too much at once. I don't mean to suggest that it's impossible to do such a trip (on the contrary, I'm sure it's quite possible), but you have so little travel experience that your conception of how it might go is very simplistic.
Take a week or two and attempt a mini-version of this trip, and you'll get some idea of what you're really facing. You'll realize, for example, that you have to physically carry everything that you have with you, for long distances. Anything that you can do without, you will prefer to do without. Any time you have a choice between something heavy and large (a CD player) and something small and light (an MP3 player), the right choice will become perfectly clear to you. Anything that costs money, you'll do in the cheapest way possible. You'll learn that electronics of any sort are challenging companions because they require either batteries or charging adapters (not to mention electrical outlets) and are generally vulnerable to moisture. Keeping your stuff dry in a sudden rainstorm will be hard. You'll get wet and dirty and smell quite often, and getting clean and dry again will be time-consuming and difficult.
You'll also learn something about the social aspects of such travel. In some places, strangers will be friendly and helpful, treating you as a fascinating visitor. In others, especially in areas of higher population density, you'll be avoided as a potential threat or burden. Either way, you will depend on the people you meet, for information or food or employment or a place to pitch a tent. It's not like surfing the net, where you can instantly skip out of one social network to another that's more your style; you will have to relate productively with the people you are physically near you, wherever you are. This will sometimes be uncomfortable.
Read a couple of relevant books, then take a brief trip to try out whatever you think you know. Expect it to be both more and less fun than you will have imagined.

I suggest picking up some work skills. Be able to wash dishes, bus tables, wait tables and bartend. These skills are useful around the world. Carpentry and the building trades are also good employers of casual labor. If you have a college degree, you can teach english anywhere. Always be willing to work if you can. Especially when you are on the road.
I still practice my work hustling skills. I ask the cashier, the barrista, the bartender, the balloon vendor, the ice cream man. I go around to the back of the restaurant and talk to the guys on their breaks.
I do think this is an important thing you want to do. The walkabout teaches you so much about the world I won't even begin.
Bring half of what you think you need and twice as much money.
Oh, and $1300 is so much money that I think I'd spend half on a plane ticket and use the other half as my traveling money and GIT.
God Luck

Have you thought about trying to find sponsorships? Or better yet, finding a charity or cause that you support, and using your trip to raise money and awareness for that cause?
Also, seconding the suggestion to try a mini-trip first. A heavy pack really will wear on you pretty quickly. If I had to do this myself, I probably wouldn't even take the netbook.
posted by
on May 3, 2010
A netbook is definitely not a necessity, especially if you don't already own one and you're planning on financing this trip with the $1300 you have to your name. To echo others, I'm not sure you've thought this thing through, and I'm confident that it'll be a lot harder than you're imagining.
The advice to go on a shorter, exploratory/research kind of trip, maybe with another person, is excellent. And as others have noted, this kind of trip, like any big project, will probably be more expensive than you're estimating, and the usual way to finance these trips is to save up for a while. Not to sound like somebody's dad, but I think you should consider getting a job.

Forget about something like an MP3 player, don't worry about taking food except maybe some power bars for emergency use and take enough clothes to fit in a small, small pack. An extra pair of jeans and shirt are about it. Don't take money or any valuables and get used to living on the cheap and making friends on the road to help take care of your needs. Take a phone card and credit card to use for emergencies and have a few people you can trust to wire you money you'll need along the road. You can wire money to yourself at points along the road so it will be there when you need it.
It also doesn't hurt to get friends either here or some other website you trust so that you have contacts across the country to stop and visit. I've heard about people on sites like SA who travelled the country and crashed at other users places. You can also finance the trip along the way by finding temp jobs. Getting around by catching rides from people you meet or by hitch-hiking can work. It takes some trust and wariness on your part but is an effective way to get around the states.

Please don't spend time looking for sponsors. Spend that time working for pay. The sponsorship thing for this is so overdone as to be distasteful for a lot of people in the cycling and hiking communities. Why should someone else pay for your vacation?
This thread
over at crazyguy has some advice on that along with some other shoestring budget advice and ideas for making money. The charity thing isn't much better unless you give 100% of proceeds to the charity. Again, if I really wanted to donate to that charity, why wouldn't I give the whole amount of my donation to them rather than give it to you and let you take a cut?

My brother walked from NY to California. He worked odd jobs and for the federal parks. He camped out and carried everything he needed in backpack. He is mentally ill and was able to do this in about 1.5 years. I think if he was not mentally ill it would have been a lot harder and he would have quit.
I suggest you start with short walks, like 10 or 15 miles. This will let you know if you really want to do this and what you need.

When a radio station wants to broadcast a program that reaches as many ears as possible-even remote listeners in the hinterlands-it amps up the signal. But when content marketers with branded content to promote seek to swell their audience, it's not as simple as cranking up a dial. Wider distribution of content that's created to grow affinity and brand consideration-and not necessarily to hawk a product or service-requires careful research, planning, and execution to overcome the significant challenges today. Smart publishers, content providers, and marketers need to recognize these challenges and develop effective strategies to connect with the crowds in a landscape that's already overcrowded with competitors.

In-Q-Tel is as hip and forward thinking as, well, you never expect the government to be.
Its mission, "is to identify and invest in cutting-edge technology solutions that serve U.S. national security interests" and that investment usually comes in the substantial amount of one to three million dollars. Supplemental resources include access to In-Q-Tel's network, an in-house technology team, and a group of experienced business personnel. The enterprise is funded by the CIA and runs as a private, non-profit; it has no vested interest in government-specific solutions, but seeks solutions for the challenges facing the intelligence community at large. In-Q-Tel launched in 1999 and has since reviewed over 3,500 proposals, primarily from companies who had never worked with the government before, nor ever planned to. Approximately 40 strategic relationships have developed from the proposals and In-Q-Tel has grown to support a 50-member staff operating venture and technical teams. Key areas of focus for In-Q-Tel are: Knowledge Management, Security and Privacy, Search and Discovery, Distributed Data Collection, and Geospatial Information Services. (www.in-q-tel.org)
Internet Archive
"Libraries exist to preserve society's cultural artifacts and to provide access to them," according to the Internet Archive site.
"If libraries are to continue to foster education and scholarship in this era of digital technology, it's essential for them to extend those functions into the digital world." Thus, the Internet Archive seeks to build a digital library of sites and content in digital form to prevent the "cultural artifacts" of the Internet from falling into obscurity—or worse, disappearing altogether. Just like a traditional library, the Internet Archive is freely available to anyone interested in visiting, but it has some more powerful collaboration partners than your local branch, including the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian. Growing at a rate of 12 terabytes per month, the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, which houses archived versions of Web sites, currently contains over 300 terabytes of data—more than the amount of text held by the Library of Congress.

Midgard Project
Back in the late 1990s, Henri Bergius and Jukka Zitting needed a system for publishing material on the Web for their small Finnish history association, Harmaasudet.
Since Harmaasudet did not have the resources to maintain such a vast undertaking independently, they adopted the open-source model and Midgard version 1.0 was officially released in 1999. Thus began the Midgard project, an open-source CMS built on Apache, PHP, and MySQL frameworks. Applications are written using PHP scripting language and interfacing is done using a regular Web browser, which eliminates the need for special tools for developers or authors. "Midgard is the predominant PHP-based, open-source CMS," according to contributing editor Tony Byrne. "It is getting a lot of traction in Europe, though suffers from lack of a critical mass of proponents in North America." Midgard distributes core content using the GNU Library General Public License, under which the software can be distributed freely so long as users can link to new versions of the libraries. Solutions based on Midgard can be used to manage Web content, as well as intranets or extranets. Midgard is designed for developers, while end-users are encouraged to check out Aegir CMS and other Midgard-based content management systems. (www.midgard-project.org)

Trade Policy at the Crossroads - The Indonesian Story
AbstractFollowing the crises of the late 1990s and the subsequent slowdown in the world economy, many countries in the developed and developing world are at the crossroads in their trade strategy, uncertain whether to advance with trade reforms, to stand still or increase protection. While the case for liberalisation has been widely accepted as a long-term goal for economic policy, the gains from trade have not always been forthcoming and macroeconomic crises have exacerbated the situation. The delayed and uncertain benefits of reform, plus the costs of adjustment, the need to offset tariff revenue losses, and the possible benefits of some degree of intervention to foster industrialisation have all contributed to this indecision. Support for the WTO multilateral negotiations now appears half-hearted, and there are calls for increased protection. Following the slow progress of multilateral negotiations, attention has inevitably turned to regional and bilateral agreements. Indonesia provides an interesting case study of the potential benefits and costs of alternative trade strategies that are under active consideration in many developing countries. The ASEAN region has recently announced a deepening of its commitments and is considering widening the agreement to include countries such as China, Japan and the Republic of Korea. A bilateral agreement with the United States is also a possibility. Against this background, Indonesias options on trade policy range from increasing protection to actively pursuing bilateral, regional and multilateral initiatives. The results of a global general equilibrium analysis point to several interesting implications for policy makers. The results from the model show that increasing protection results in economic losses while a stand-still and more liberalisation produce economic gains. After undergoing full adjustment, estimated annual gains to Indonesia from a conservative Uruguay Round-style outcome within the WTO system total an estimated US$380 million (0.22 per cent of GDP). However, annual gains from a completely liberalised ASEAN plus China, Japan and Republic of Korea regional trade agreement are estimated at US$2.3 billion, again after adjustment. Indonesia could capture half of these benefits by liberalising unilaterally. The major source of the gains from unilateral, regional and multilateral liberalisation is improved efficiency following removal of tariffs on politically sensitive sectors such as motor vehicles. This improves productivity in many downstream sectors. There are significant trade diversion effects from regional integration, with non-members worse off as a result. The results have implications for other countries having second thoughts about their strategy.

Reminding the fuck puppet that it is nothing more than just a fucking object for you pleasure.
The pig uses all its self control to keep its hips from wildly bucking up into the air. Its cunt hasn't been used in weeks and feeling its owner dip His cock inside there makes the front fuckhole burn with need.
But the pig knows its place. The cunt in not the primary fuckhole, all it is now is a lube pot that endlessly fills itself for Master. And now that His cock is glistening with that wet pigslime it's time for the little animal to present its main fuckhole.
Turn over, arch your back and beg to be sodomised you filthy little pigslut.
Now, tie her neck to your leg so she can't pull back and enjoy the ride.
Mandatory training.
He grew weary with the way it was only able to take half of His dick, despite the fact that He had been fucking its mouth for a full ten minutes.
"cunt," He said, slapping its face, "you're going to take all of Me."
"ak ak ak ak," it responded.
He sighed.
"If you won't open that throat, bitch, I'll have to make you."
He took its tits in His hands and, squeezing its nipples, yanked them up hard. it arched its back reflexively, tilting its head back and providing a straight line from its lips to its throat. He immediately began slamming deeper with each stroke.
"See, whore?" He asked. "Isn't that better?"
"MMMRLNG glk glk glk glk," it responded.
He smiled down at it.
"glk glk glk HRGHRL glk glk glk BLRGH glk glk glk," it said, pausing only to retch worshipfully.
He twisted its nipples, enjoying the feeling of it swallowing on Him as pain lanced through it. Next He knew He would have to work on getting rid of its gag reflex. But for now, His pleasure was paramount. His cock swelled in its throat as His orgasm approached.
"AHRLLLLGK GLK GLK GLK AK AK AK," it sang happily as He brought Himself to fruition with it.
When you're allowed to touch each other intimately, cunts, it must be at the command of a Man and for His pleasure alone. There are few sights more energizing for a Man than to see two bitches making out above His dick, their cock pads shiny with saliva from making love to Him. you whores play with each other as a form of entertainment for your Superiors - no other reason exists that justifies you taking pleasure in your sisters rather than giving a Man His due. Just like your orgasms, which exist and occur solely to enhance the pleasure of your Betters, you cunts are sexual with one another only insofar as it increases the satisfaction of the Men observing you.
Which doesn't mean that you can be inattentive to Him, of course, even if He has allowed you to play with another whore. Make out with your sister only so long as His passions are heightened and not forestalled by you having your mouths off of Him. Do not risk turning His enjoyment into dissatisfaction. Be ready to turn from your sister, to ignore the temptation to indulge in uppity pleasure for yourself, and to descend once more onto His Manhood. Spread your cock pads wide; engulf all of Him in your worthless throat. you and your sister are stupid beasts - show her what He expects of both of you, and show her that she should be eager to give all of it and more to Him.

IOM Urges 10 Major Healthcare Fixes
"We tried to address a big-deal problem in a way that is very comprehensive, because we feel much of what has been said to this point has been in bits and fragments," says Gary Kaplan, MD, a member of the authoring committee as well as Chairman and CEO of Virginia Mason Health System in Seattle. Providers, payers, patients, funders, the government—everyone—has to see quality, outcomes, technology, fraud and waste in a holistic fashion.
Kaplan adds that the committee hopes "that the first thing to come from this is awareness. Too many providers are saying to themselves, 'We're alive and well; we know change is coming, but we're banking that change will be glacial, so we don't have to do much right now. We're profitable.' "
A case in point is the transition to electronic health records and the attainment of meaningful use attestation. While some providers may see these moves largely as big expenditures, for which they may recoup some federal incentive payments, they may overlook the enormous potential of using EHRs to gather real-time data on inappropriate, unnecessary or incorrect use of expensive hospital resources.
"We can know for the last 100 patients who had X procedure, we have this percent of complication. We know that in real time, not through 18-month-old data. This is not an abstraction, and can provide us with early warning signs and places where we may intervene."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Joleen Chambers (9/15/2012 at 9:52 AM)
The #1 expenditure of Medicare is joint replacement. July 29, 2011 the IOM reported that the FDA 510(k) method of approving these implanted medical devices should be scrapped because it failed the mission of assuring devices are safe and effective. Thousands of Americans are living in medical and legal purgatory. Profit is privatized but the patient harm byproduct is a drag on our country's prosperity and a national shame. Congess and our judicial system must arm consumers with public health information and consumer protections/civil rights to stand up to a powerful and aggressive industry.
Tyco Brahe (9/12/2012 at 11:24 AM)
Many of these very recommendations are contained within Healthcare Reform. It's terrible that politics gets in the way of improving our heathcare system. All we hear is "Obamacare is bad!" but there's no real discussion of all the valuable points within it.

Six months after the quake: risks, support and opportunities impact the lives of children
August 2010
Six months after the strongest earthquake to hit Haiti in 200 years, the challenges to meet the needs of more than 800,000 affected children and their families remain daunting.
The earthquake left behind a death toll of over 220,000 persons and over 300,000 injured. Some two million persons have been displaced from their homes and some 1.6 million of them remain in overcrowded displacement camps. The country's infrastructure was devastated with 60 per cent of government infrastructure destroyed and over 180,000 homes uninhabitable.
"The earthquake in Haiti was a disaster for children and it isn't over yet," said Anthony Lake, UNICEF Executive Director. "UNICEF and its partners are working hard every day to save lives and help children claim their future."
|Today, safe water is being provided to some 1.2 million people through our partnership with other aid organizations and UNICEF is directly providing water to 330,000. More than 275,000 children have been immunized against major vaccine preventable diseases. Nutrition programmes are providing food to 550,000 children under five and lactating women and some 2000 children with severe acute malnutrition are now receiving life-saving therapeutic feeding and care. 500,000 children in total have received basic education materials, 185,000 children from UNICEF's own programmes. And special training has been provided to some 2,300 teachers and 3,000 education personnel.
The education sector was hard hit by this disaster, with 3,978 schools damaged or destroyed. This has compounded an already fragile situation where less than half of school-aged children were attending school before the earthquake.
Three months ago, the Government with the support of UNICEF took up the challenge of getting all Haiti's children into school. The focus now is to expand access to learning opportunities for all children, particularly the hardest to reach, across the nation. UNICEF is also working with the Government to alleviate the burden of school fees in a context where 90 per cent of schools are fee-based and not public.To read the details of the 6 months Recovery of Haiti, please click here:
