A lot of what Chael Sonnen says isn't exactly the truth, so you learn to take his statements with a grain of salt. A recent statement about his pseudo-experience with The Ultimate Fighter is probably one of his tall tales, but who knows? He actually told MMA Junkie that he turned down a spot on the original Ultimate Fighter show:
"When the show very first started, the first coaches ever were my coach, friend, teammate Randy Couture vs. Chuck Liddell, arguably the greatest light heavyweight ever," Sonnen told MMA Junkie. "In fact, the argument would be between those two: Chuck and Randy. I was just a fan. I watched it as a fan. They asked me to be on the show as an athlete, and I passed on the chance. It was on a different network at that time, but an executive at that office invited me on as an athlete. Then I loved the show.
"I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know what it was. I sat down and watched it, and I regretted that decision. I really enjoyed watching it, and all these years later, here I am."
Magically, no UFC staffer could remember Chael being named as a candidate.Meanwhile, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones actually tried out for a season once, but was told he was too young:
"I tried out for 'The Ultimate Fighter' back when I was 20 years old," Jones said. "I remember making it through the first round and then approaching a table to grapple for the second round and having Dana – I think himself, I remember him being at the table – saying, 'Man, you're too young. You're 20 years old, and you have to be 21 to apply for this show, but we're going to let you roll anyways. But you can't go much further than this.' I was like, 'Alright.' I was rolling and having a great time, and that was it. That was the end of the scenario."
"It's kind of surreal to me to know that just four-and-a-half years ago I was trying out for the show, and then to be on the show as such a young coach is just like, 'Man, we're doing things right,'" Jones said. "I said that to my manager. I said, 'We're doing it. We're doing things right.' It's just surreal to be a guy who was rejected from the show and now be the coach."
It's too bad the that the show hasn't featured talent like either of these men in a long time now, but they should make for interesting coaches at least.

At the beginning of the season, I assumed, like almost everybody else, that the Western Conference would be much stronger than the Eastern. I made this prediction: "I'm guessing something like 53 points will be needed for Western teams to make the playoffs. (Last year NYRB made it in with 46 and PTFC had 42). Maybe 40 will do it for the East. These are WAGs."
Early in the season, western teams were regularly beating eastern teams, but that has not been the case in recent weeks. In fact, as of this morning, Western Conference teams have
28 wins
25 losses
12 draws
+5 goal differential
against Eastern teams. (Feel free to check my numbers. I don't swear by them. Heck, I didn't even double-check them.)
Based on the current standings, it appears that the worst eastern teams are somewhat worse than the worst western ones, but there is not much difference between the teams at the top of the tables. I guess this is good news for the Timbers--it might not be as difficult to qualify for the playoffs in the West as expected.

Grizz have no reason to pass on Rubio!
The Grizzlies hold all the leverage. Rubio wants to play in the NBA and he is the second best prospect so you don't give him away for peanuts. This is not Pau Gasol part II because unlike Gasol on the Lakers, Rubio will be playing on another up and coming team when the Grizzlies expect to be competing in the playoffs. The last thing the Grizzlies need to do is gift wrap a superstar PG to a team in the same conference without making them pay a heavy price. Also, Rubio has two options: play in the NBA or sit out. His option of going back to Joventut are all but extinguished and I can't see him going back into that situation and playing for two season at $125,000 a season THEN sitting out an entire season so he can reenter the NBA draft in 2012.

Question – What is the deadline (or last date) to apply for H1B Visa 2011?
Answer – There is no deadline to apply for H1B Visa FY 2011. As long as H1B Visa Cap is available, employer can file for H1B Visa petition.
Since, H1 Cap ran out within first 1 week in previous years, most of them who cannot find H1B Visa sponsors think there is deadline to file H1B visa 2011 petition.
H1B Visa Deadline
H1B Visa Fiscal year starts on October 1 of each year and runs till September 30 of next year. For example H1B Visa FY 2011 starts on October 1, 2010 and runs till September 30, 2011.
- H1B General Cap – 65,000 (per year)
- H1B Masters Cap – 20,000 (per year)
USCIS would accept H1B petitions for Fiscal Year 6 months in advance, which is April 1 of that year. For FY 2011, H1 petitions will be accepted from April 1, 2010.
USCIS will accept petitions until quota is available. There is no deadline (specific) till which application would be accepted. Universities have admission deadlines and don't confuse that with USCIS H1B visa deadline.
If application is submitted on April 1, 2010 and USCIS would approve the H1B Visa with starting date of October 1, 2010. Yes, you have to wait for 6 months before you can start working on H1.
But, after October, if H1 cap is still available, one can start working as soon as H1 is approved.
Hope this gives an idea about why there is no H1B Visa 2011 deadline.

Research Programs
Monetary Policy and Financial StructureThis program explores the structure of markets and institutions operating in the financial sector. Research builds on the work of the late Distinguished Scholar Hyman P. Minsky—notably, his financial instability hypothesis—and explores the institutional, regulatory, and market arrangements that contribute to financial instability. Research also examines policies—such as changes to the regulatory structure and the development of new types of institutions—necessary to contain instability.
Recent research has concentrated on the structure of financial markets and institutions, with the aim of determining whether financial systems are still subject to the risk of failing. Issues explored include the extent to which domestic and global economic events (such as the crises in Asia and Latin America) coincide with the types of instabilities Minsky describes, and involve analyses of his policy recommendations for alleviating instability and other economic problems.
Other subjects covered include the distributional effects of monetary policy, central banking and structural issues related to the European Monetary Union, and the role of finance in small business investment.

Public Policy Brief No. 135 | August 2014Contrary to German chancellor Angela Merkel's recent claim, the euro crisis is not nearly over but remains unresolved, leaving the eurozone extraordinarily vulnerable to renewed stresses. In fact, as the reforms agreed to so far have failed to turn the flawed and dysfunctional euro regime into a viable one, the current calm in financial markets is deceiving, and unlikely to last. The euro regime's essential flaw and ultimate source of vulnerability is the decoupling of central bank and treasury institutions in the euro currency union. In this public policy brief, Research Associate Jörg Bibow proposes a Euro Treasury scheme to properly fix the regime and resolve the euro crisis. The Euro Treasury would establish the treasury–central bank axis of power that exists at the center of control in sovereign states. Since the eurozone is not actually a sovereign state, the proposed treasury is specifically designed not to be a transfer union; no mutualization of existing national public debts is involved either. The Euro Treasury would be the means to pool future eurozone public investment spending, funded by proper eurozone treasury securities, and benefits and contributions would be shared across the currency union based on members' GDP shares. The Euro Treasury would not only heal the euro's potentially fatal birth defects but also provide the needed stimulus to end the crisis in the eurozone.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Related Topic(s):
Conference Proceedings | August 2014This conference was organized as part of the Levy Institute's international research agenda and in conjunction with the Ford Foundation Project on Financial Instability, which draws on Hyman Minsky's extensive work on the structure of financial systems to ensure stability, and the role of government in achieving a growing and equitable economy.
Among the key topics addressed: the challenges to global growth and employment posed by the continuing eurozone debt crisis; the impact of austerity on output and employment; the ramifications of the credit crunch for economic and financial markets; the larger implications of government deficits and debt crises for US and European economic policies; and central bank independence and financial reform.Download:Associated Program(s):Region(s):United States, Europe
Working Paper No. 802 | May 2014
Policy Challenges for Central Banks
Central banks responded with exceptional liquidity support during the financial crisis to prevent a systemic meltdown. They broadened their tool kit and extended liquidity support to nonbanks and key financial markets. Many want central banks to embrace this expanded role as "market maker of last resort" going forward. This would provide a liquidity backstop for systemically important markets and the shadow banking system that is deeply integrated with these markets. But how much liquidity support can central banks provide to the shadow banking system without risking their balance sheets? I discuss the expanding role of the shadow banking sector and the key drivers behind its growing importance. There are close parallels between the growth of shadow banking before the recent financial crisis and earlier financial crises, with rapid growth in near monies as a common feature. This ebb and flow of shadow-banking-type liabilities are indeed an ingrained part of our advanced financial system. We need to reflect and consider whether official sector liquidity should be mobilized to stem a future breakdown in private shadow banking markets. Central banks should be especially concerned about providing liquidity support to financial markets without any form of structural reform. It would indeed be ironic if central banks were to declare victory in the fight against too-big-to-fail institutions, just to end up bankrolling too-big-to-fail financial markets.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Related Topic(s):

Debt, Finance, and Distributive Politics under a Kalecki-Goodwin-Minsky SFC Framework
This paper describes the political economy of shadow banking and how it relates to the dramatic institutional changes experienced by global capitalism over past 100 years. We suggest that the dynamics of shadow banking rest on the distributive tension between workers and firms. Politics wedge the operation of the shadow financial system as government policy internalizes, guides, and participates in dealings mediated by financial intermediaries. We propose a broad theoretical overview to formalize a stock-flow consistent (SFC) political economy model of shadow banking (stylized around the operation of money market mutual funds, or MMMFs). Preliminary simulations suggest that distributive dynamics indeed drive and provide a nest for the dynamics of shadow banking.Download:Associated Program(s):Author(s):Eloy Fisher Javier López BernardoRelated Topic(s):Debt and public finance Kaleckian macrodynamics Political cycles Political economy of finance Political macroeconomic models Shadow banking Stock-flow consistent (SFC) modelingRegion(s):United States

Future rises in income inequality will lead to a prolonged period of anemic economic growth and high unemployment.
Income for the bottom 90 percent of households has stagnated during the past 35 years. Strong economic activity in the 1990s and 2000s was largely generated by consumption that was financed by borrowing. The resulting high levels of debt relative to income precipitated the financial and economic crisis.
Since 2008, the bottom 90 percent of households have deleveraged, thereby reducing their debt-to-disposable-income ratio. This ratio for the top 10 percent has remained relatively stable. Should this deleveraging trend continue, by 2017, economic growth will be 1.7 percentage points lower than the post-recession period, and unemployment will rise 1.3 percentage points to 7.6 percent, according to the Levy Economics Institute.
Future economic growth is unlikely to arise from the activities of the top 10 percent of households. Their consumption levels tend to remain relatively stable, and their investments are driven by short-term arbitrage opportunities of financial assets — not long-term direct investment in businesses that generate strong employment and income growth.
Coupled with weak foreign demand and restrictive government fiscal policy, future economic growth may be driven by domestic deficits. This burden will fall primarily on the bottom 90 percent in the private sector and exacerbate income disparity. However, as debt-to-income levels rise, a financial and economic crisis becomes more probable.
The only viable solution to this economic conundrum is greater income equality.
Working Paper No. 799 | May 2014
A Financial View
This paper develops the framework of analysis of monetary systems put together by authors such as Macleod, Keynes, Innes, and Knapp. This framework does not focus on the functions performed by an object but rather on its financial characteristics. Anything issued by anybody can be a monetary instrument and any type of material can be used to make a monetary instrument, as these are unimportant determinants of what a monetary instrument is. What matters is the existence of specific financial characteristics. These characteristics lead to a stable nominal value (parity) in the proper financial environment. This framework of analysis leads the researcher to study how the fair value of a monetary instrument changes and how that change differs from changes in the value of the unit of account. It also provides a road map to understanding monetary history and why monetary instruments are held.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Related Topic(s):

Jason Furman, the brilliant economist who chairs the Council of Economic Advisers, spoke recently at the 23rd Annual Hyman Minsky Conference, sponsored by the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College.
The title of Furman's presentation was "Whatever Happened to the Great Moderation?" He argued that with the right economic policies, as advocated by the administration, this mythical Great Moderation could be restored.
I suspect a priori that the Great Moderation was a result of official policies that suppressed normal adjustments that should have taken place in the economy, for example, by neglecting prudential and consumer protection regulation of "too big to fail" banks, so that when the 2008 episode of the permanent financial crisis erupted, it was much more costly and disruptive than it would otherwise have been.
Ironically, after having written this sentence, I found that a similar suggestion had been made by a famous economist — none other than Hyman Minsky. The very informative Wikipedia entry on the Great Moderation also contains a reference to a 2003 speech by University of Chicago economist Robert Lucas as president of the American Economic Association celebrating the idea that the profession had practically solved "the central problem depression prevention."
Furman defined the Great Moderation as the reduction in the volatility of a wide range of economic variables, and to the associated increase in the longevity of economic expansions and reduction in the frequency and severity of economic contractions. Among the economists cited as having contributed research on this subject are former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke (2004) and Douglas Elmendorf (2006), currently director of the Congressional Budget Office.
Furman dated the beginning of the debate over the Great Moderation to the early 1990s. To his credit, Furman took time out to question, as I do, whether "there ever was a 'Great Moderation,' let alone that it has returned and rendered further policy steps unnecessary."
Furman dismissed the idea that policy responses are not needed, because recessions serve a purpose and little can be done, on the ground that while this might be true in "normal times," these times are characterized by a large shortfall in output, and policy responses are needed. He seems not to have considered that maybe these are "normal times," and that the slow growth and shortfall in output are due to previous misguided policies.
Instead, he offered some new misguided policies, a lot of them, under what he calls "The Unfinished Agenda for Economic Stability." This is ironic, because it seems that Minsky himself was highly skeptical that "economic stability" could be achieved by policy.
It almost becomes amusing to consider the grab bag of measures Furman offers as holding out hope of averting or coping with future downturns. He claimed that Obamacare will have a counter-cyclical effect, a notion that is heatedly disputed, and he also pointed to increased progressivity in taxation. Reducing inequality is highly speculative as a counter-cyclical measure, but maybe they can start with salaries of reckless bank executives and their feckless regulators.
Finally, Furman pointed to implementation of Dodd-Frank and Housing and Finance Reform, which are laughable, because neither is likely to happen, and they might not produce the effects he expects even if they do.
As a political document, the speech represents how desperate the administration is to establish a positive legacy as President Obama's popularity declines.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., spoke at the 23rd Annual Hyman P. Minsky Conference, held in Washington at the National Press Club recently. The conference was sponsored by the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, an independent group that "encourages diversity of opinion in the examination of economic policy issues while striving to transform ideological arguments into informed debate." The theme of the conference was "Stabilizing Financial Systems for Growth and Full Employment," and it was co-sponsored by the Ford Foundation.
The conferences celebrate the life and work of Minsky, who was an early theorist on the financial crisis and an advocate of government intervention to respond to financial crises that inevitably occur from time to time. This is the first of three articles on speeches delivered at the conference by Maloney and Jason Furman, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.
Maloney struggled to deliver the speech due to a cough, and perhaps also due to some form of the flu, she seemed medicated and perhaps to be reading the speech for the first time, although the arguments were very familiar.
Later that day the House was scheduled to vote on what is known as the "Ryan budget," authored by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., which she rightly stated represents the embodiment of the Republican platform, and she devoted the speech to two provisions related to financial reform that would be affected by the Ryan budget, namely the so-called "Orderly Liquidation" provisions contained in title II of the Dodd-Frank Act, and so-called "Housing Finance Reform" now being tentatively considered in Congress.
In 2008, I predicted privately that there would be a bank bailout, based on a cynical recollection of the deals that were put together in 1988 during the savings and loan crisis to stretch that mess out past the November election at what was then considerable cost to taxpayers. However, this prediction was not nearly cynical enough. The George W. Bush administration, with Henry Paulson as Treasury Secretary, was so incompetent, or the needs of Paulson's former firm, Goldman Sachs, were so pressing, that the bailout could not be put off.
The 2008 election offered a choice between a candidate who had virtually no experience and one who had a lifetime of experience but seemed not to have learned much from it.
Candidate John McCain made a big show of "suspending" a campaign that voters may not have noticed even existed. McCain flew back to Washington, ostensibly to intervene in the crisis, but without any actual plan. Meanwhile, candidate Barack Obama stayed coolly on the sidelines and benefited from the contrast with the manic McCain.
After the failure of Lehman Brothers and the bailouts of Bear Stearns and AIG, the official story line was, not surprisingly, that the reason the crisis happened was that the regulators lacked the authority to resolve nonbanks whose failure threatened the health of the financial system. Title II of Dodd-Frank gives the FDIC the authority to borrow up to $150 billion to fund the resolution of failing institutions through "debtor in possession" financing. The Ryan budget wants to repeal this authority, and Maloney is extremely exercised about this prospect.
Given that this move has engendered such a reaction from bailout apologists like Maloney, legislators seeking to prevent yet another round of bailouts might consider attaching the repeal of title II to any legislation coming out of the Senate that looks promising.

Charles Evans, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and a leading dove of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), delivered a speech April 9 titled "Monetary Goals and Strategy" to the 23rd annual Hyman Minsky Conference, which is sponsored by the Levy Institute of Bard College and held at the National Press Club in Washington.
With the exception of me, the modest-sized audience was composed of liberals who follow economic policy very closely and believe that governmental authorities should tinker constantly with the economy in order to improve its performance and the distribution of income.
The conference honors Minsky as one of the earliest exponents of this view, who propagated it articulately from the earliest years of the permanent and ongoing financial crisis.
Chicago has traditionally been a hotbed of conservative and even hard money economics, especially at the University of Chicago. However, the Chicago Fed under Evans has placed itself firmly in the dovish camp on monetary policy, and in 2015 Evans will rotate into a voting seat on the FOMC, so that he can back his sentiments with a vote. Evans has taught at the University of Chicago, University of Michigan and University of South Carolina, and he received degrees in economics from the University of Virginia and Carnegie-Mellon University, which is a stronghold of conservative monetary scholarship.
What makes Evans' speech especially significant is that he poses a scholarly challenge to conservative advocates of a monetary rule, particularly in circumstances where the economy has performed so poorly that the federal funds rate has already dropped to the bottom, and he contends that under these conditions, even Milton Friedman would agree that the FOMC should take an aggressive stance in order to keep the economy from slipping into a zone of negative inflation that could cripple economic growth for decades.
The speech was divided into four parts. First, Evans reviewed the "Three Big Events in Fed History," in his order of importance: 1) The Great Depression (1929 to 1938); 2) The Great Inflation (1965 to 1980); and The Treasury Accord (1951). He defended the independence of the Fed, but accepted in a serious way, not just rhetorically, that with the independence must go accountability.
Second, Evans laid out a three-part strategy for achieving the goals the FOMC has set out during the long term.
Third, he used bulls-eye charts to demonstrate that the Fed has missed both its employment and inflation targets.
And finally, he lamented the inability to stimulate the economy by adjusting the federal funds rate once it has reached its lower bound.
He concluded by advocating that the Fed adopt more aggressive policies now to stimulate growth, even at the risk of exceeding the 2 percent inflation target for some time after the employment target has been reached.
He criticized as "timid" the stance of most of his colleagues who argue for a slow glide path to the target so as not to risk touching off another bout of inflation.

For years, China has been enjoying robust economic growth that has turned it into the world's second largest economy.
The problem is, however, that China's growth is in part driven by over investment in construction and manufacturing sectors, fueling asset bubbles that parallel those of Japan in the late 1980s. With one major difference: China's overinvestment is directed by the systematic efforts of local governments to preserve the old system of central planning, through massive construction and manufacturing projects for the purpose of employment creation rather than for addressing genuine consumer needs.
Major Chinese cities are filled with growing numbers of new vacant buildings. They were built under government mandates to provide jobs for the hundreds of thousands of people leaving the countryside for a better life in the cities, rather than to house genuine business tenants.
China's real estate bubble is proliferating like an infectious disease from the eastern cities to the inner country. It has spread beyond real estate to other sectors of the economy, from the steel industry to electronics and toys industries. Local governments rush and race to replicate each other's policies, especially local governments of the inner regions, where corporate managers have no direct access to overseas markets, and end up copying the policies of their peers in the coastal areas.
We all know how the Japanese bubble ended. What should Chinese policy makers do? How can they burst their bubble?
There is a bad way and a good way, according to L. Randall Wray and Xinhua Liu, writing in "Options for China in a Dollar Standard World: A Sovereign Currency Approach." (Levy Economics Institute, Working Paper No 783, January 2014).
The bad way is to pursue European-style austerity, which reins in central government deficits.
We all know what that means–the Chinese economy is almost certain to be placed in a downward spiral that will jeopardize employment growth. Besides, as the authors observe, China's fiscal imbalances aren't with central government, but with local governments. In fact, China's main imbalance "appears to be a result of loose local government budgets and overly tight central government budgets."
That's why the authors propose fiscal restructuring rather than austerity. Rein in local government spending, and expand central government spending.
That's the good way to burst the bubble. But is it politically feasible? Can Beijing reign over local governments?
That remains to be seen.Associated Program(s):Region(s):Asia

great teacher
Super awesome professor. Is able to given intuitive interpretations to very complicated mathematical concepts. Gives good explanation of the theory, and focuses on how to apply it to real world problems. I feel priveledged to have been able to take this course from this professor.
Very crisp material and delivery. Very impressive personality and knowledge of the subject.
Extremely application oriented classes. First time I thought learning linear algebra is going to be useful. Brings in a variety of applications. Home works go well in helping understand the concepts. They are realistic and complete with matlab programs we have to write and observe. Best prof in EE!
A lot of reviews have mentioned that Boyd is full of himself--I don't get that impression at all. He does like to rag on other fields, but most of his criticism is warranted. He has a slightly cheesy sense of humor, knows the subject well, and tries to keep the lectures entertaining. HWs are long but not bad if you're a math person.
Really fun to go to classes.
Always elaborate on the really easy points, and skip the difficult ones that most need explaining. Rather read lecture notes than going to lectures.
I think that 263 has (almost) reached perfection. Great material and useful and enjoyable class. I don't know if his behavior is arrogant or if it's related to his sense of humour (which I like). He's also very witty. I think that it would be a pity to leave EE and not have taken a class from Prof. Boyd.
I've taken EE263, 363, and 364 from Boyd. Probably the best teacher I've had at Stanford. The classes are all quite applied, in my opinion; there is theory but it's always brought back down to earth with plenty of scientific computing. Just an outstanding teacher whose problem sets will let you master some challenging material.
ee 364
He made easy things harder. Not a honest guy.
Very smart, but he knows it. His lectures are some of the most entertaining, but they take a lot of work. Deffinately recomend any of his classes!
huge ego. listening to him dis other profs is always entertaining. Material is fast paced, general requires strong math background. easy to get left behind. He great at presenting theory - but skips out on how to apply it. (Examples might be nice)
Is really full of himself and has a silly smile frozen on his face (would make a great politician)... other than that, a great teacher who exposes the hidden insights behind the subject material. The foundation he reveals will stay with you for the rest of your life.
Great, great teacher and great class. Highly recommend EE263 to anyone.

AMA Raises Reimbursement Concerns Over EHR Workarounds
The AMA urges the Office of National Coordinator to address EHR usability concerns raised by physicians, and to take "prompt action to add usability criteria to the EHR certification process," Stack says.
He suggested ONC reconsider Stage 2 of Meaningful Use to allow more flexibility to providers to meet its requirements.
On Monday, the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) called for a one-year extension of Meaningful Use Stage 2. In a statement, CHIME said that the one-year extension would maximize the opportunity of program success.
The organization of healthcare CIOs said the additional 12-months for meeting Stage 2 would give
- Providers the opportunity to optimize their EHR technology and achieve the benefits of Stage 1 and Stage 2;
- Vendors the time needed to prepare, develop and deliver needed technology to correspond with Stage 3;
- Policymakers time to assess and evaluate programmatic trends needed to craft thoughtful Stage 3 rules
CHIME defended much of the federal incentive program's progress to date, arguing that fundamental shifts in health IT adoption and EHR product capabilities have been made possible through the policy of Meaningful Use.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Perhaps providers who work in small practices or those that are using the "free EHR"s have an inability to document a free form note but the majority of large EHR's have this capability. You can even dictate the history and physical and or the clinical notes and have it blown into the chart. It sounds like those practices that went the "cheap" way and didn't invest in any workflow redesign or pay for some consulting time are tripping up but this is the minority.

Tonight's edition of Friday Night Fights is live at 9pm EDT from the US Airways Center in Phoenix on ESPN2, ESPN3D and ESPN3.com. Bad Left Hook will be here with live, round-by-round coverage, and immediate post-fight analysis.
The main event is a super middleweight bout between hometown fighter Jesus Gonzales (26-1, 14 KO) and Francisco Sierra (24-3-1, 22 KO). Gonzales was originally supposed to face Henry "Sugar Poo" Buchanan, but instead takes on a bigger, taller, harder-punching opponent. Last week on Friday Night Fights, we saw Top Rank prospect Mark Melligen take on Sebastian Lujan as a late replacement for Freddy Hernandez, a matchup we warned could spell doom for Melligen, and it did. Like Lujan, Sierra looks like a step up from the originally scheduled opponent, and with his power could be real trouble for Gonzales, who is just getting back into the swing of his career after a two-year absence.
The co-feature will have Cleveland super featherweight prospect Yaundale Evans (14-0, 10 KO) matched with Mexican veteran Emmanuel Lucero (26-6-1, 14 KO) in a very respectable step up for the 22-year-old Evans, who has dined on fluff thus far in his young career.
Join us tonight!

There's a Brazilian saying that goes, for a good party, you need a good mix of people. The gathering I attended last night, hosted by Roberto Thompson and Amalia Spinardi at their house in São Paulo and held in my honor, was exactly that. In the group were fashion enthusiasts, designers, editors, and artists, including Marina Abramovic, who is celebrating the holidays in Brazil with her pal Riccardo Tisci.In between dancing to remixes of Edith Piaf tunes and sipping caipirinhas, and despite the distractingly stunning views of São Paolo, there was talk of work. Designer Carlos Miele chatted with a few businessmen about his plans for brand expansion in Asia, and Pedro Lourenço gave us a preview of his upcoming pre-fall presentation at Milk Studios, while Alexandre Birman shared the news that he's now part of Bergdorf Goodman's designer shoe floor. At the top of the Birman's to-do list: make shoes for the baby girl his wife is expecting. Does that mean he'll be going into the children's business? He wouldn't say, but I bet a lot of moms would die for that.Style.com/Print magazine was also a big topic of conversation. Guests were pleasantly surprised when I passed them out as party favors once the night came to a close.

Design Tips for Choosing the Right Blinds
There are many ways that you can add elegance and beauty to the interior of your home, but one of the best methods is with fabulous window treatments. With the multitude of options available, the perfect window blinds will give a somewhat drab living space an instant makeover! Bob the Blindman is one of the UK's leading manufacturers of custom made to measure blinds, with a variety of styles, designs and colours to improve the decor of any home.
There are two major factors to take into account when choosing new window treatments. To begin with, consider your individual style. Your window treatments are one of the most visible features in a room, and if you're not 100% comfortable with how they look, you will discover that you are unable to relax in that particular area. For example, someone with more conservative taste should opt for a traditional or classic style of blind, whereas an individual whose personality is more outgoing or edgy would prefer something a little out of the ordinary. Next, think about overall decor of the room. While you may be tempted to mix things up a little in terms of style, this can sometimes start to look rather busy or mis-matched. One of the main purposes of window treatments is to tie the room together, providing a backdrop for your furnishings. Therefore, it's extremely beneficial to take your cues from the existing decor.
The days of plain white or cream window coverings are very much behind us. Today, you can find a fabulous blind in practically every colour of the spectrum. If you are considering a brightly coloured blind, it's a good idea to match an existing colour in the room, whether it's a shade picked out from a design on a rug or maybe a piece of artwork. This will create a certain 'flow' that is extremely appealing to the eye. Remember that while a darker colour offers a feeling of warmth and coziness, in some cases, it can also overwhelm a small room, making it appear even smaller. If you already have items in the room that command attention, such as brightly coloured furniture or elaborate accessories, consider a neutral tone for the window treatment.
Blinds, as opposed to traditional curtains, are the perfect way of offering privacy while filtering the amount of light into a room. This is ideal for a living room or bedroom, where natural light is preferable during the daytime, but the individual still wants a certain amount of privacy. It is also beneficial during the summer months, allowing you to reduce the amount of sunshine that streams into your home. Certain rooms, such as a nursery, a toddler's bedroom or a home theatre area, sometimes require complete darkness, even during the daytime. This can be achieved by installing blackout blinds, which feature an opaque backing that blocks out even the strongest of light. They are also ideal if you work nights and have to sleep during the day, or you have an extremely bright streetlight near your window.
Prior to choosing your blinds, think about what type of material and style would be preferable. Wood blinds look fabulous if you have a rustic or 'cottage' decor, whereas roman blinds are highly decorative, and will add a touch of elegance to a formal living or dining room. In a kitchen or bathroom, always pick a window treatment that is waterproof and can be wiped down easily. In a humid environment such as this, wood is unsuitable, as it can warp. Very large windows or sliding doors would benefit from fabric vertical blinds, offering you an excellent view of the outdoors, while still filtering the light. In the case of patio doors, vertical blinds can be opened completely to one side or the other, allowing ease of movement between the interior and exterior. Metal venetian blinds offer clean, contemporary lines and are perfect for any room in the home.
Older homes used to feature windows that were considered an 'industry standard' size, but these days the majority of windows are custom built. Due to this, most reputable window blind manufacturers offer a tailor made service. At Bob the Blindman, we are able to cater to your individual measurements, creating custom window coverings at a very cost-effective price. Our online site is extremely easy to navigate, and offers a multitude of top quality blinds in various styles, colours and materials. If you are uncertain about which blind would be most suitable for your particular requirements, feel free to contact one of our expert customer support staff, and we will be able to advise you. If your windows are too complex to describe via telephone, simply send us a picture - it's that easy! With no minimum order, free delivery and a guarantee of superior quality, purchasing your window treatments from Bob the Blindman will be a simple, enjoyable process from start to finish.

WICOMICO CO., Md. - Officials are working with the Delmarva Shorebirds to make sure the boys of summer stick around.
The team's lease is up next year.
Consulting company Crossroads Consulting Services of Tampa, Fla working with
both the club and the county released its recommendations to improve

The ZSC Lions website has announced that Cory Murphy has signed with the Swiss team for 2 years. At least, that's what I understand from this Google translation of the original article. Murphy was a low-risk signing last summer, trying to add some offense to a blueline that lacked it. Murphy started off in New Jersey but couldn't stick around; yet he had a good and productive season down in Lowell with 6 goals and 38 assists in 64 games. I don't know if the Devils still have his rights though. He won't be going to Albany with the AHL team, but to Europe, and I wish him the best of luck. (Hat-tip: Matsku on Twitter for initial news, confirmed via Zurich site)
The Lowell Devils beat the Providence Bruins 6-3 on Sunday and with a loss by the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, Lowell has secured a first round matchup with Worcester, the Atlantic Division champions. Their series begins on Wednesday. This is huge news because it is the first time since 1999-2000 that the Devils' AHL affiliate has made the Calder Cup Playoffs. Congratulations to John MacLean, Kevin Dean, and the L-Devils players! Give the Sharks a scare!
I'm guessing it's a concussion though no one wants to admit it. Editor's Note: You're sort of right. The word is concussion symptoms, according to Lou as reported by Gulitti. Not the same thing, but the Devils are wise to play it safe all the same. Patrick Davis and Nick Palmieri have been called up in the meantime.
Per Tom Gulitti, the New Jersey Devils moved the young winger to their AHL farm team, the Lowell Devils, today. This leaves the Devils with, well, no extra players on their roster. This tells me that Patrik Elias must be getting ready real soon for the Devils to make this move. There was no pressure to create extra space otherwise.
Petr Vrana apparently will not return to the Devils next season, as he has signed a 2 year deal with Vitkovice. Spector has a link to the original article at Sport.cz (translated via Google here). It's a bit of an unfortunate occurrence that he makes this move now. With Holik retiring, that's at least one roster spot open that Vrana could have competed for and won in New Jersey for 2009-10. Alas, he feels otherwise. Best of luck to him in his career. Thanks to Don for the heads up.
Check out the Hockey's Future review of our farm team in Lowell!
Gulitti has reported that Anssi Salmela has been called up. With Paul Martin's
upper body soreness muscle pull the Devils do have no spare defenders.
But given that Andy Greene hasn't played all that well recently, I think the Devils want to give the Finnish international another, well, shot with the big club. I think a good outing could help make his case to stay with New Jersey, really.
Salmela has had 8 goals, 15 assists in 36 games with Lowell this season.

EA, did you contact the VEDC or City Council or the Chamber to ask them your questions? Great questions by the way. If so, what were the responses?February 14, 2011 at 10:11 a.m.
If those darn ole postal workers had only worn their VICTORIA boots, we would find a place for them.February 13, 2011 at 2:54 p.m.
Maybe if they had offered the USPS the 100 acre wood...
That IS still available, isn't it?February 13, 2011 at 9:42 a.m.
Sorry Edith, but our area leadership would rather attract low end tourist employers and expand government employment through the Unniversity of NoOne, than capitilize on the strengths of the region.February 13, 2011 at 5:43 a.m.
butwiser—accurate assessment.
Victoria is a distribution center, centrally located. Corpus Christi is on the coast and therefore not centrally located. As a distribution center it is obvious that Victoria is much better suited to serve as a hub than Corpus Christi.
If our city and county leaders, VEDC or the Chamber of Commerce would have promoted Victoria as such, perhaps the United States Postal Service would not have moved its distribution center to Corpus Christi.
Maybe if our city and county leaders, VEDC or the chamber of Commerce would have voiced opposition to moving the postal distribution center to Corpus Christi, we would not have lost the jobs that just got reassigned.
Maybe the postal service could be shown the financial savings of transportation cost to Victoria and final destinations as opposed to Corpus and final destinations.
Maybe the postal service would increase its use of the airport here in Victoria.
Now my questions: Where were our city and county leaders, VEDC or the Chamber of Commerce when the Postal Service was considering moving the distribution center?
Out on Lone Tree Road listening to the crickets?February 12, 2011 at 9:50 p.m.
It is interesting how Victoria with its 60,000+ in population has become a bedroom city. Many business operations have been moved to Corpus Christi. Most utilities, the postal service, weather forecasting, and on and on. We can only support two major grocery stores. We used to have many national chains. We are down to only one major local grocery store. Look at how many business are fleeing Victoria. It would not surprise me for Sears or JCPenneys to move out. Why is that? Is it the people in charge of the Victoria government or is it the good ole boy business model? Is it the decisions such as tear up streets all over Victoria at one time with limited personnel so it can take years and keep traffic screwed up for maximum time? I don't know, but we can't seem to support anything anymore.February 12, 2011 at 2:53 p.m.
This County Carried the REPUBLICAN Vote and Cutting wasteful spending was part of that agenda, but...no, N.I.M.B.Y.
Next I want to see FARM and OIL subsidies CUT! Total COPORATE WELFARE!
I bet the a lot of folks in this town would scream then.
As Usual the whiners about taxes are the biggest Tax TAKERS like Doctors, Farmers, Oilmen and Politicians.February 12, 2011 at 11:06 a.m.
The transfer of jobs from Victoria to Corpus will do little to reduce the overhead of the area Post Offices. Cut delivery days down immediately, eliminate positions, reduce operating expenses, etc. Run the Postal Delivery like a true business instead of another Federal boondoggle.February 12, 2011 at 10:02 a.m.
And these are the people you want in charge of your healthcare?February 12, 2011 at 2:58 a.m.
The question is not WIRE5050 Where else have you lived? The question is WIRE5050 who do you work for UPS, FedEx or DHL? Oh, DHL went into bankruptcy.February 12, 2011 at 1:19 a.m.
This comment was removed by the site staff for violation of the usage agreement.February 11, 2011 at 11:45 p.m.
Postal employees have some of highest wages for government employees and they have some of the best benefits with little or no money every month out of pocket to help pay for the premiums. I have been in both of the local offices here. I can tell they get paid by the hour, they are very slow and not very helpful if you have a question. Its sad but the typical postal worker is over paid and under worked. It does not get any better at the state level, is it any wonder why the country is in debt. If federal and state government workers would have to go out in the real world and find a job I am not sure they could survive.February 11, 2011 at 11:13 p.m.

Vineyard Theatre is located at 108 E. 15 St., near Union Square. A blackout occurred below 38th Street starting the night of Oct. 29.
The production's new opening date will be announced along with the resumption of performances.
Jennifer Garvey-Blackwell, The Vineyard's executive producer, said in a statement, "Along with countless other New Yorkers, we are assessing the aftermath of the storm and working with colleagues in the neighborhood to determine when power will be restored and when performances can resume on our stage. We appreciate everyone's resilience and understanding under these exceptional circumstances."

In February of 2010, Michael Yater underwent heart transplant surgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center. The donated heart came from David DeSabla, 29, who died in a skiing accident. On April 7, 2011, Yater threw out the first pitch at that night's Baltimore Orioles game with David's mom Diane DeHaven at his side as part of a Donate Life month celebration.
Yater and DeSabla talk about the importance of organ donation, the impact this has had on their lives and how their families have formed a close bond through this life-changing experience. Yater was just two weeks away from receiving a mechanical heart when notified that a donor heart was available. Dr. Erika Feller, Yater's cardiologist at UMMC, says Yater's new heart is working well and that he's had few complications from DeSabla's heart.

051910 – Commission work
May 19, 2010 at 5:19 pm Leave a comment
Today I worked on a commission piece. I am really happy with the progress so far – looks realistic! Wish I could show you – but can't. Maybe after the commission is complete and its new owner has it I'll be able to share. This commission will be done this week and then I'll go back to framing.

If you weren't watching Amazon Forest Combat (AFC) 2 last night (Sat., March 31, 2012) from the Amadeu Teixeira Gymnasium in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, then you missed what could be the knockout of the year.
Even if it wasn't scored as one.
That's because Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and longtime mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Pete Spratt, at the ripe old age of 41-years-old, absolutely obliterated Daniel Acacio with a spinning backfist knockout right as the final horn sounded.
Naturally, he was awarded the decision win.
For complete results and a full recap of AFC 2 last night click here. And if the above video wasn't enough to satisfy your lust for violence, the knockout is in .gif format after the jump.

Positives: Beautiful ship. Very good service by staff and crew. Smooth operation of complicated itinerary. Interesting guest lecturers. Good orientation lectures about each port of call. Flexible dining and always the desired table, even for 2, even with the ship full. You can bring your own wine and champagne on board! ($18 corcage fee if served in a restaurant). Beautiful flower arrangements. Wonderful live classical music daily. Reasonable coffee prices. Good selection of movies in Wajang Theatre, often relevant to the destinations visited.
Negatives: Way too many announcements over the PA system, in english and dutch, obtrusive. Insufficient variety in food. Taste of food varying. Melons and watermelons often near to rotten, quality of cut fruits low. Only alibi-sushi (must try the sweet potato fries though!). Few production shows (but fairly good). Many guest entertainers of varying quality, practically all british or irish. And as always on cruise ships: Way too expensive shore excursions, no information about cost of individual transportation, internet rates and speed unacceptable ($0.75/min).
It's a small cabin, however with ample drawer space. But I knew this ship, so knew what to expect. Just want to point out that in the cabin 3387 we experienced noises every night because the galley is just above. Apparently heavy objects are being moved around and bumped on the ground. This must be a permanent situation.In addition, at some point a different type of noise occurred, which turned out to be a malfunction of the steam system (whatever that is). So eventually we had to be given another, inside cabin to sleep for 3 nights, before we were moved to another outside cabin.Our neighbors at cabin 3387 told me they heard these noises as well.

I have collected some lip stains over the past week or so from Covergirl and Revlon. Right now CVS has their Revlon lip products 6.49 get 4.00 back in rewards that can be used like in-store cash or credit on your next transaction. There are 1.00 off coupons in the 8-5-12 Sunday paper Smart Source coupon insert as well. I am on the search for natural flush of color to my lips in a natural pink or natural nude brown that can be worn daily. I have been using them lately and wanted to share my review.
Covergirl Outlast Lipstain
Okay first glance you got this container with a clear top. Taking the top off looks just like a marker. The two colors I got is 400 which is suppose to a pink shade and 427 is suppose to be a light brownish nude shade. This lipstain was almost a miss until I found out that this is a problem with many products such as this. I purchased this product before back in May for a cruise. Used it one time and didn't use it again for a while and when I went back in my makeup collection to use it again the product wouldn't come out. It was like it dried up. So strike number one. I ended up throwing that one away. I decided to give it another chance recently and purchased it again thinking I bought a dud the first time. First time use was successful. Second time use same problem. So I was complaining to my husband about how I hate this product and that I was going to give it a bad review on my blog and write Covergirl and complain and basically going on and on about brimstone and hellfire. Then my husband just quietly took the lipstain out of my hand and gave it 3 big downward shakes and TADA! You can see the product bleeding the clear cap to my surprise. LOL needless to say I felt pretty foolish and just shut my big mouth. So come to find out the product did not dry up this time or the first time. Ever since then I have been able to use this lipstain. The down side is every time I want to use it I have to give it a shake. The product itself when it comes out does exactly what I expected it to do. It stains my lips giving them color. On the pink one that I bought I wouldn't exactly go by the main color thats on the container. It comes out more like a red than a pink. The brown one I bought is fairly close to the color on the container however. I have been wearing a little bit of the pink/red one on top of another natural pink product to give a little more color but not too much. The funny thing about this is that now I found out about this neat trick my hubby did, my liquid eyeliner from E.L.F was acting up the same way. I did the same little trick and got product to come out. So kudos and kisses to the hubs for teaching the wife how to get the most out of her makeup! I personally am not use to having to do that before I use makeup *shrugs*. You do have to wear a lipbalm under or over this stuff. It is not at all moisturizing. It just gives a natural matter finish to the lip.
Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm
This looks very similar to Covergirl's Outlast lipstain with a marker tip and clear cap except its longer and have a white glue stick looking balm on the other end of container making it like a dual lip product. It works pretty much like Outlast. Major plus to the balm. Smart idea considering the actual marker looking lip stain part doesn't provide any moisturizing abilities to my lips. I currently have the color Passion which is a hot pink and Beloved/Adoration which is kind of a mauve plumish pink. Neither I would wear for everyday. The hot pink is well hot pink and is more for going out. The mauve one is too dark for daily, but great for the fall season or going out as well. And yes I have to do the shake to get the product to come out.
Revlon Just Bitten Balmstain
First glance with the top off it looks just like a fat Crayon pencil. The color I got is in Cherish/Devotion which is a bright pink. I accidentally picked this up. I wanted the regular Just Bitten lipstain at the time and when I realized I picked up the wrong one (balmstain) after I already purchased I was cussing hellfire and brimstone again. Yet when I tried it on my lips I was actually happy with the product. While the Revlon Lipstain + Balm has the lipstain on one end and the balm on the other this balmstain is just one fat pencil that does both at the same time. Think of the Revlon lipstain end as a daddy and the balm end as a mommy which gave birth to the balmstain. It is true to the name. It is moisturizing just like a balm. I would say more like tinted lipbalm. If you wanted to wear this alone then it is totally okay. No need to put any extra balm to it. The color I got is a lighter brighter pink that I would wear going out and not everyday. I would have prefered to pick a more natural looking pink for my lips. But hey atleast I dont have to shake to get some product!
Unfortunately none of the lipstains I bought alone gave me a natural flush of color to my lips. I like the idea of the lipstains because the way they go on does look like a natural flush to the lips. I just havent quite found the natural color part that I am looking for. I would buy all three products again and try out more colors on a deal of course.

Epileptic seizures are sudden bursts of abnormal electrical activity in the brain that can cause changes in behavior, involuntary movements, and sometimes loss of consciousness. Epilepsy can result from a wide variety of disorders, including brain injury and stroke. Widely regarded as a pediatric disorder, almost one-third of new cases are diagnosed in early childhood.
A first seizure requires careful diagnostic evaluation to determine the cause of the event and the most appropriate treatment. Recurrent epileptic seizures can affect neural development in young children and present special challenges to patients and their families.
These seizures are split into two main categories:
Advocate Lutheran General Hospital features neurologists and pediatric neurologists highly experienced in identifying and treating epilepsy and other seizure disorders. We offer the most current diagnostic techniques and treatments available.
