Former Champ Terry Dunstan Gloves Up Once More – For Charity Bout

Former Champ Terry Dunstan Gloves Up Once More – For Charity Bout
In just over a week's time former English, British and European Cruiserweight Champion Terry Dunstan dons gloves once more, when he takes part in the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym Charity Spar-Boxing Tournament, in association with the World Boxing Union and in aid of the Indee Rose Trust, takes place at the Menzies Prince Regent Hotel, Manor Road, Chigwell, Essex IG8 8AE on Saturday 22nd February 2014.
Terry, who thrilled the crowds for close to two decades with his all action and power punching style, virtually dominated the domestic scene in the late nineties.
In 1995 Terry beat then Champ Dennis Andries to lift the coveted Lonsdale belt, nine months later Terry once again beat Dennis in the rematch before going on to successfully defend the British crown against John 'Buster' Keaton just three months later.
Terry vacated the title in February 1998, after successfully beating Alexander Gurov, by a sensational first round knockout, to become the EBU European Cruiserweight Champion.
Six weeks later Terry vacated the European crown, to challenge Imamu Mayfield for IBF World Cruiserweight laurels, in doing so suffered his first career loss.
It would be twenty one months before the Vauxhall based slugger challenged for Championship honours once more, when he faced and lost to Carl Thompson.
It would be nine years before fans of big Tel got to see their hero in action once more, and eleven before they see him back on the Championship trail.
In December 2010 Terry once again strapped a Championship belt round his waist, when he secured the English title.
Terry's last ring action came some seven months later, when he unsuccessfully challenged Ola Afolabi for the WBO Inter-Continental title.
Now training people in the art of Boxing, Terry can be found passing on his undoubted skills to others at the TRAD TKO Gym in Canning Town.
It was after one of these sessions, at the famous East End fight factory, that Terry took a few moments to talk about his return to the ring, for a worthy cause.
"Of course, of course I'll go out there for a good cause, it's for the Indee Rose Trust and I couldn't think of a more worthy cause.
I jumped at it as soon as Johnny Eames said to me about the event, I said I'd love to do it, of course I did, it's for Charity.
It'll be good fun, I was going to have a kick about at the football tournament, I was hoping to score the winning goal, but the football didn't happen last year so I'll box instead.
Like I said it's all for Charity, you can't get better than that, boxing again and for a good cause."
For the past few years the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym has held an annual Boxers & Celebrities Charity Football Tournament, in Aid of the Indee Rose Trust, however, due to being let down on a venue in 2013, the illustrious team at the East London fight factory had to rethink their fund raising efforts for this extremely worthwhile cause, that provides support for children who have been diagnosed with a brain or spinal tumour.
Gym partners Johnny Eames and Gianluca Di Caro brainstormed with some of the regular supporters and participants of the Football Tournament, one suggested a Boxing Tournament, featuring some of the TRAD TKO old boys and their rivals.
No surprise that when TRAD TKO former stars boxers, such as WBU Light Heavyweight Champion Tony Oakey, WBU Lightweight Champ Graham Earl and British and European Bantamweight Champion Ian Napa, to name just a few, were approached with the concept, they loved it and in an instant to a man signed up to take part.
Within hours a virtually full card of fights were made, as stars such as WBU Middleweight Champion Wayne Elcock, British & European Cruiserweight Champ Terry Dunstan, WBO Super Featherweight Champion Nicky Cook, British Super Bantamweight Champion Matthew Marsh, Southern Area Champion and WBU Middleweight challenger Gary Logan, Southern Area Light Middleweight Champ Tony Hudson, British Champion Patrick Mullins as well as Gary Barron, Mark Ford, Joe Elfidh, Lee Beavis, along with TRAD TKO Coaches Ben Doughty, Brian O'Shaughnessy, Tony Cesay and Michael Sprott's coach Andrew Edge signed up to fight.
The TRAD TKO Boxing Gym Charity Spar-Boxing Event, in association with the World Boxing Union and in aid of the Indee Rose Trust, takes place at the Menzies Prince Regent Hotel, Manor Road, Chigwell, Essex IG8 8AE on Saturday 22nd February 2014.
Tickets, priced £80 (inclusive of an evening of quality spar-boxing, three course meal and after party) are available from the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town or through the TKO Box Office – www.tkoboxoffice.com or call the ticket line on 07960 850645.
Prince And Marston Set For WBU Title Double Header In London On Nov 30th

Prince And Marston Set For WBU Title Double Header In London On Nov 30th
On Saturday, 30th November 2013, a WBU Europe Championship double header will top the bill, on the Dave Murphy Acourtier Events promoted WARZONE event, which takes place at York Hall, in Bethnal Green, London.
Main bout of the night will see former WBO and IBF Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion Mark Prince, against a yet to be named opponent, for the vacant WBU Europe Cruiserweight crown, whilst the co-headliner sees the inaugural WBU Europe Women's Super Bantamweight title, being competed for by London's Marianne 'Golden Girl' Marston against Bulgarian #1 ranked Galina Gumliiska.
Prince, who has a formidable record of 20 wins (16 KOs) and just the single loss, against long time WBO World Champion Dariusz Michalczewski, will be making his first challenge for Championship honors, since returning to the ring earlier this year following a fourteen year sabbatical.
Whilst an opponent has yet been announced for Prince, promoter Dave Murphy has gone on record stating that he is looking for a top fifty ranked opponent for Prince, as he intends to move the North Londoner into World title contention as quickly as possible.
This seemingly brash statement should come as no surprise, as Prince has competed at the highest level previously and judging by his sensational fourth round stoppage win, over Czech Republic's Jindrich Velecky on October 4th, anything less would not present a challenge for the former World title challenger.
Speaking earlier, at the famous TRAD TKO Gym in London – where he was to watch co-headliner Marianne Marston sparring former British and European Bantamweight Champion Ian 'Dappa' Napa – an elated Prince could barely contain the excitement, of being back on the Championship trail.
"I'm really excited to be fighting for the WBU Europe Cruiserweight title, really excited.
I suppose it's a bit surprising for people, because I've had just the one fight, coming back after fourteen years out and I'm fighting for a title already, but I'm more than capable to do such things, because the level of fighter I am.
I'm very different from most fighters, a lot of fighters couldn't come back and demonstrate the power and skills that I have.
I've taken a year to prepare to get to this point, I'm really looking forward to doing this."
The Co-headline bout is the aforementioned Marianne Marston versus Galina Gumliiska.
Marston, the protégé of the late, great Heavyweight Champion of the World, Smokin' Joe Frazier, has only competed twice in the pro ranks, both times stopping her opponent in the first round.
Whilst Marston may have just fought just twice, her opponent, Galina Gumliiska, has a wealth of experience and has fought twice for the World title, as well as six further European, International and Inter-Continental Championship fights.
Whilst Gumliiska wasn't available to talk about the upcoming fight, Marston was and she took a little time off after her previously mentioned sparring session, to talk about the upcoming fight.
"I'm really honored to be fighting for the WBU Europe title.
However, to me this fight isn't about the title, it's about me being a boxer, winning the title will be the cherry on top.
I am so pleased to be fighting Galina, she has been in with the best in the business and is one seriously tough cookie.
No disrespect to Gabriella (Roman) or Katalena (Lazar), they both stepped in at short notice for our fights, after injuries and pullouts by my original opponents, but I want to fight tough credible opponents.
I came into the sport late, even later than planned thanks to the prejudice and politics of the BBBofC, but I'm here now and intend to make up for lost time.
I'm really looking forward to the fight, I know it will be a tough fight, but I intend to be at the very top of my game, hopefully that means at the end of the night it will be me that gets the WBU Europe belt around my waist."
Mark Prince, against a yet to be named opponent, for the WBU Europe Cruiserweight title and Marianne Marston versus Galina Gumliiska, for the WBU Europe Super Bantamweight title, that co-headline the Dave Murphy Acourtier Events promoted 'WARZONE' Xtreme Combat event, that takes place at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Saturday, 30th November 2013

WARZONE: Xtreme Combat Event – Pro Boxing, K-1 and Muay Thai – Set For Nov 30th York Hall Debut
by Gianluca Di Caro on Oct.30, 2013, under Events
WARZONE: Xtreme Combat Event – Pro Boxing, K-1 and Muay Thai – Set For Nov 30th York Hall Debut
Back in April Dave Murphy and the Acourtier Events crew made a major impact when they presented the first ever GBA sanctioned show in the UK, the all action THUNDER & LIGHTNING event at York Hall.
In October, Murphy and co went one better with their second offering, the sensational NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS, which was co-headlined by the GBC World title showdown, between Jennifer Retzke and Big Brother star Angel McKenzie, and the return of WBO and IBF Inter-Continental Champion Mark Prince.
Now the ever innovative Murphy and the Acourtier Events crew are set to raise the bar to a whole new level, with their WARZONE Xtreme Combat event, which takes place at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Saturday 30th November 2013.
Whilst Xtreme Combat shows are not new in mainland Europe – where mixed discipline events, featuring professional Boxing, K-1 and Muay Thai Kickboxing bouts, are becoming increasingly popular – but this type of event has yet to make inroads into the UK, until now that is.
So what can fans of the pugilistic arts expect on the 30th November?
Scintillating action packed bouts, with plenty of drama in the mix, as WARZONE features some of the most explosive fighters around, many possessing concussive knockout records, but each and every one of them a true gladiator of the modern age.
Co-headlining the pro boxing element is former WBO and IBF Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion Mark Prince, who will be campaigning for the WBU Europe Cruiserweight crown.
Prince, whose record stands at 20 wins (16 by way of knockout) and just the one loss – which came when he challenged long time Champ Dariusz Michalczewski for his WBO World Light Heavyweight crown – is without doubt THE most exciting all action Cruiserweight around, bar none!
In his last fight, against Czech Republic's Jindrich Velecky, the entire crowd at the York Hall were on their feet as Prince entered the arena, for his eagerly awaited return to the fray, where they stayed for the duration of the bout, due to the scintillating performance he displayed on way to the fourth round stoppage victory.
The other boxing co-headliner sees the hugely popular Marianne 'Golden Girl' Marston take a tilt at her first Championship accolade, against the highly experienced five time World title challenger and Bulgaria's #1 ranked Galina Gumliiska for the vacant WBU Europe Super Bantamweight title.
Marston, the protégé of late, great Heavyweight Champion of the World, Smokin' Joe Frazier, has made quite an impact since professionally debuting earlier this year.
It's unusual for any boxer to be challenging for a European title after just two pro bouts, but when you take into account the sensational way she won those fights, maybe not so much a surprise after all.
On her debut in April, Marston stopped Hungarian #1 Gabriella Roman in one minute and forty seven seconds of the first round, mightily impressive in it's own right, but when you take into account that the Woolwich, London based southpaw sent Roman to the canvas twice in the first minute it becomes a case of plain sensational.
Her second bout, against Romania's Katalena Lazar was over even quicker, lasting a mere sixty seven seconds – nuff said.
Supporting the two Championship bouts are a pair of equally sensational young boxers.
The first being former England amateur captain Antonio Counihan, who in October won his debut pro fight, over the highly entertaining 'Rockin' Robin Deakin, by a fourth round stoppage.
The second being London based American Manny Muhammad, a former professional Basketball player, who like Prince, Marston and Counihan, is an explosive, exciting all action entertainer.
With the boxing element more or less covered – other than to say that discussions are taking place, which if successful will lead to rising superstar Iain 'The Blessed One' Weaver also taking part – so now it's onto the ISKA K-1 and Muay Thai protagonists.
The K-1 headline Championship bout is yet to be announced, but word is it will be a domestic star challenging for a major title – so watch this space.
Heading up the K-1 support is Bexley's ISKA Southern Area Heavyweight and Fight Scene Light Heavyweight Champion Mike 'The Nightmare' Neun, who has been described by Addicted MMA magazine's Jack Mills as 'The Next Big Thing'.
6'6" tall and weighing in at a solid 100kg, Neun is unbeaten in both K-1 and MMA competitions, under both ISKA and BAMMA banners.
A fearsome fighter, Neun pushes everything to the limit, as was proved when he fought Pete Brown, it was a pure bloodbath, after Neun opened up Brown with vicious kicks and elbows!
Also on the card is Sunday Brawl Champion Ed Kelly, who fights out of The Gym South London, in Mitcham.
Kelly had an exemplary amateur career before turning pro earlier this year. Since turning over Kelly has knotched up two sensational wins and was crowned Sunday Brawl Champion back in February.
Kelly's gym mate Adrian Shalik will also be fighting on the WARZONE event, as will former amateur star Nicole Commerford, who makes her professional debut on the 30th November.
Further K-1 and Muay Thai fights will be announced in the coming days, as well as hopefully the news that Iain 'The Blessed One' Weaver will be making his third visit to York Hall this year.
Dave Murphy Acourtier Events promoted 'WARZONE' Xtreme Combat event takes place at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Saturday, 30th November 2013
Tickets, priced £35 (Standard Seated) and £60 (Ringside) are available direct from the fighters taking part or in person from the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning town – www.tkoboxinggym.com – and Ringtone Gym in Euston – www.ringtonehealthandfitness.com

Angel McKenzie: This Is The Biggest Fight Of My Life

Angel McKenzie: This Is The Biggest Fight Of My Life
South London's Angel McKenzie challenges Germany's Jennifer Retzke For World Crown On 'Home Turf' On October 4th.
Over the past few years former Big Brother star Angel 'The Entertainer' McKenzie has had a couple of title shots, unfortunately all were abroad and on very short notice, but now this is about to change, as the Brixton based pugilist is in the last stages of her preparations to challenge Germany's Jennifer Retzke for the GBC World Light Welterweight crown on the Dave Murphy Acourtier Events Promoted NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS EVENT, At York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Friday the 4th October.
As previously stated previously, Angel is not new to challenging for titles, the first being in February 2011, when she faced Lucia Morelli for the vacant WIBF Lightweight title, in Germany.
Just five months later Angel travelled to Spain, to challenge Mikaela Lauren for the WPBF crown.
Then in October 2012, she once again made the trek to Germany, this time to challenge Marie Riederer for the vacant WIBF Light Welterweight title.
In each case Angel went the distance, losing by points decision, something that Angel herself put down to her taking the fights at short notice, as well as possibly a little home advantage for her opponents.
However this time around things are likely to be very different, for a start Angel will have had ten weeks preparation for this fight, as well as the benefits of a new coach, Dean Knight and of course fighting for a title in her home city for the first time.
Following a sparring session with British Light Welterweight Champion Darren Hamilton and long time friend Super Bantamweight Marianne Marston, at the TRAD TKO Gym in Canning Town, Angel spoke briefly on this golden opportunity.
"I'm very pleased to fight for a World title here in London, it's great news.
I'm very excited and I really want to win it, I really want to bring the title to the United Kingdom.
I love boxing, I've travelled all around the world, I really like fighting in England and think that we deserve a title here.
We just had the Olympics here and people here are still waiting for some big sporting event victory and I'm sure I'm going to give it to them.
I'm training really, really hard, I have a very good new coach, Dean Knight, he has me in very good shape.
I like discovering myself, I'm discovering new power, everyday I learn something new, I'm still learning. I've been boxing all my life, yet still everyday I learn something new, I really like it.
To prepare I've been sparring with a lot of girls at Miguel's Gym and Knight's Gym, today I'm at the TRAD TKO and have been sparring Darren (British Light Welterweight Champion Darren Hamilton) and Marianne (Super Bantamweight Marianne Marston).
This is the biggest fight of my life, so I have been getting a lot of very good sparring, I have to keep sharp and keep practicing.
I was supposed to fight Jennifer two years ago, but it was cancelled because the British Boxing Board of Control wouldn't give permission for me to fight her.
Then I was supposed to fight her a year or so ago but it didn't go through, again because of the British Boxing Board of Control.
I think this will be the toughest fight for Jennifer so far, I looked at her record and she hasn't fought any of the girls I fought, I've fought the top girls like Myriam Lamare, Anne Sophie Mathis, Jessica Balogun, Delfine Persoon, Lucia Morelli, Mikaela Lauren, all the top girls, so I'm very proud of my record and deserve a shot at the title.
This really is my chance, it's a challenge but gives me the chance to show everything I did before, by fighting all the top girls, will pay off.
To my fans, I love you all, come and watch me on October 4th."

Johnny Eames Announces Line-Up For October 18th York Hall Event
by Gianluca Di Caro on Sep.17, 2013, under Events
Johnny Eames Announces Line-Up For October 18th York Hall Event
TRAD TKO Boxing Gym supremo Johnny Eames today announced the line-up of the first event, from the promotional arm of the famous East London fight factory of the new season, the appropriately titled BROTHERS IN ARMS, which takes place at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Friday, 18th October 2013.
Heading up the show is a real barnstormer, as Nathan Graham defends his BBBofC Southern Area Light Middleweight title, against TRAD TKO's very own Freddie Turner.
Nathan makes not just his first defense of the crown, that he won back in December 2012, following Kris Agyei-Dua's unfortunate fourth round retirement from a painful dislocated shoulder, but also his first ring appearance of 2013.
No such potential ring rust for Freddie, as he will be making his third outing since signing with the esteemed Mr. Eames earlier this year.
In his two previous outings, under the TRAD TKO banner, young Freddie has scored resounding points victories over Costas Osben and former British title challenger Max Maxwell.
Heading up the support sees TRAD TKO's sensational, big punching, Heavyweight prospect Paulius Kasiulevicius back in action, against a yet to be named opponent.
No doubt once again Johnny will be looking to give the former two-time Lithuanian National Amateur Heavyweight Champion another serious test, especially after the short work he made of his previous pair of opponents.
Back in June, on his pro debut, Paulius stopped Czech Republic's Frantisek Kynkal in just two minutes and twenty five seconds of the first round, no mean feat considering Kynkal also has a knockout reputation, stopping both his previous opponents early also.
Then back in July Paulius stopped another equally big hitter, Janis Ginters, who in May stopped Ivo Apsitis and then just two weeks before locking horns at York Hall with Paulius also stopped Deniss Grocevs, no soft option as both these Ginters victims fell in the first.
Another of the TRAD TKO stable of unbeaten prospects that will be in action, on October 18th, is Middleweight Festim Lama.
With just two fights under his belt young Festim is proving to be quite a crowd pleaser, due to his all action, non-stop pressuring, fight style. In his first outing Festim stopped Didier Blanch in the third, then back in June scored a shut out points victory over Dan Blackwell.
Teen Lightweight sensation Tommy Martin makes his fifth outing in under a year, since signing with the aforementioned Johnny Eames.
On his last outing, on the TURF WAR event in July, young Tommy put on one of the best performances of his career to date, on way to scoring a shut out points victory over Kristian Laight.
Nineteen year old Tommy will be looking to put in yet another seriously impressive performance, as he is hoping to persuade Johnny it's time for him to step up to six rounders.
Making his pro debut will be another TRAD TKO teen, this time Basildon, Essex, Super Flyweight Joe Stevens. Johnny has high hopes for Joe and feels the kid has got what it takes to become a future title contender.
The event is titled BROTHERS IN ARMS for a very good reason, as the event will feature not just one pair of brothers but two.
The first sibling pairing is the Romford based Upton brothers, Paul and Anthony. Both were outstanding amateurs, with a host of amateur accolades under their belts.
Paul made his pro debut back in June, scoring a superb 40-37 points victory over the highly experienced Brummie Dee Mitchell, whilst Anthony will be making his pro debut on the BROTHERS IN ARMS event.
The second pairing are Onder and Siar Ozgul, who just like the Upton boys, both have world class amateur credentials, having both represented Turkey in international competition and secured an array of accolades during their amateur careers.
Onder also represented Turkey in the AIBA World Series of Boxing, so in a way already has a level of pro boxing experience.
So there we have it, once again it seems Johnny and the TRAD TKO team are serving up another sensational night of boxing, with lashings of all action, equally matched bouts, just what is needed to warm the cockles of any discerning fight fan on what will surely be a chilly mid-Autumn night in the Capital.
Nathan Graham versus Freddie Turner Southern Area Light Middleweight Title clash headlines the Johnny Eames TRAD TKO Events promoted 'Brothers In Arms' event at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Friday 18th October 2013.
Tickets, priced £35 (Standard Seated) and £60 (Ringside) are available on line at www.tkoboxoffice.com or in person at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town or from any of the fighters named. For further information, or to by tickets by phone, call 07960 850645

Bailey-Naylor Title Fight Headlines TURF WAR At York Hall On July 27th
The latest offering from Johnny Eames and the TRAD TKO Events crew, takes place at York hall in London on Saturday 27th July and will be headlined by the Ian Bailey versus Dan Naylor Southern Area Featherweight title clash.
Ian will be making the first defense of the title, he sensationally secured by a ninth round stoppage of Lewis Pettitt, back September last year.
Back in March, Dan Naylor unsuccessfully challenged Michael Devine for the Super Featherweight version of the regional title. Whilst the Gants Hill slugger may have been unsuccessful, he proved to be more than a handful, having sent Devine to the canvas in the first round.
No surprise I'm sure, that Johnny has stacked the undercard with the cream of the esteemed Mr. Eames' famous East London fight factory.
Heading up the list of exciting young prospects from the TRAD TKO Gym is Canning Town's very own unbeaten Welterweight Freddie Turner.
Freddie, whose career had been relatively static until signing with Johnny earlier this year, was due to have had his second outing under the TRAD TKO banner on June 1st, but unfortunately illness put paid to that.
Also unbeaten, in seven pro outings, is Tony 'Oakey Kokey' Oakey protégé Joel 'El Toro' McIntyre.
On the 27th July Joel returns to York Hall, the scene of his recent victory over Darren McKenna, in stunning form, having been the sparring partner for British and Commonwealth Middleweight Champion Billy Joe Saunders for the past few weeks.
Joining Joel on the show is fellow unbeaten Pompey boy Andy Gatenby, who returns to action just a few weeks after beating Delroy Spencer.
Yet another unbeaten prospect on the card is St Neot's teen sensation Tommy Martin. On the 27th July, Nineteen year old Martin will be making his fourth pro outing.
Also unbeaten and making his fourth pro outing is Dagenham's Ediz (Eddie) Hussein.
Young Eddie is the son of, and coached by, former Commonwealth Lightweight Champion Mo Hussein. For those that remember watching the all action big punching Mo will be in pugilistic heaven, as young Eddie is a chip of the old block.
If you were at Johnny's June 1st event, you will remember the sensational knockout performance of Johnny's newest Heavyweight prospect, Paulius Kasiulevicius.
Back on June 1st it took the 24 year old Bognor Regis based Lithuanian stopped Czech Republic's Frantisek Kynkal in just two minutes and twenty five seconds, after putting him down three times!!!
Making a most welcome return to the ring on July 27th is former British Light Welterweight title challenger, Michael Grant.
Michael has been on a forced sabbatical, due to injury, since June 2011. By his performances in sparring Michael, who has always been a seriously stylish boxer with Championship potential, will be coming back stronger and with some new weapons to his already stacked arsenal.
Also on the card are two of Johnny's new youngsters making their professional debut.
The first is sensational West Ham based Irish amateur star Paul Upton.
Paul, a two time Irish National Champion, earned many accolades during his stellar amateur career including being crowned both the Dublin Champion and Ulster Senior Champion, as well as a silver medalist at the Four Nations.
Joining Paul on the night will be another teen sensation, Joe Stevens, who Johnny describes as a 'great little stylist'.
Johnny also previously stated that he intended to move Joe along slowly, as he has the potential to go all the way, nuff said!
Tickets, priced £35 and £60, for the Johnny Eames TRAD TKO Events promoted 'Turf War', at York Hall on Saturday 27th July 2013, are available on-line at www.tkoboxoffice.com or in person from the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town, London. For further information call 07960 850645

Irish Champ Lee Murtagh Ready For Capital Debut On July 5th

Irish Champ Lee Murtagh Ready For Capital Debut On July 5th
Irish Light Middleweight Champion Lee Murtagh is the latest addition to the Dave Murphy, in association with Acourtier Events, promoted 'Independence Day' extravaganza at York Hall in Bethnal Green on Friday 5th July.
On his most recent defense, Murtagh, who won the Irish title back in July 2012, after Joe Hillerby retired with a dislocated shoulder, was involved in a classic toe-to-toe Battle Royale with Ballyclare's Willie Thompson.
Right from the off, both protagonists battled for control of centre ring, which was just fine for the raucous Ulster Hall crowd, who always enjoy a good old fashioned war.
Besides some questionable use of the head by Thompson, the bout was a small hall classic, after ten all action rounds the man that matters, referee Paul McCullagh, scored the bout a very close 96-95, in favour of Murtagh.
On the 5th July, London's fight fans get their first chance to watch fifty fight veteran Murtagh in action, as surprisingly it's only now that he makes his very first appearance at York Hall.
On the night Murtagh will be campaigning in a six round bout, loosely described as a warm up, as part of his preparations for a shot at the IBO Light Middleweight Inter-Continental title in October.
Leeds based Murtagh joins fellow countrymen, WBU Lightweight World Champion Stephen Ormond and Steve Collins, no not the legendary 'Celtic Warrior' but his son Steve Jr.
Keeping the Irish theme Manchester based Maxine McCarthy makes her most welcome return to the ring, against Julija Cvetkova.
Speaking from his Leeds home Murtagh spoke briefly on his joy of fighting at the York Hall for the first time.
"I didn't expect to be fighting in the UK again, so am really overjoyed to be fighting at York Hall on July 5th.
The show might be in London but there's a heavy Irish presence. Besides myself Stephen Ormond and Steve Collins Jr. are also fighting and I've just heard that Maxine McCarthy has been added to the card, so there'll be four of us there.
This will be my first outing this year, but from what I've been told by promoter Dave Murphy it definitely isn't my last. He's told me he already has a title fight lined up for me in October.
I don't know who I'm fighting yet, but that doesn't matter as I'm ready for anyone.
My training camp has been first class so I know I'm going to be a hundred percent ready.

Johnny Eames Announces Line-up For 1st June Event At York Hall

Johnny Eames Announces Line-up For 1st June Event At York Hall
Earlier this year TRAD TKO Boxing Gym head honcho Johnny Eames announced that he will be promoting events in 2013, keeping to his word Johnny last night announced that his first UK event, tagged 'Two Tribes Go To War', will take place at York Hall, in Bethnal Green, London on Saturday 1st June 2013.
Headlining Johnny's first show is former IBO Light Welterweight World and British Welterweight Champion Colin Lynes in an International contest against Georgia's Beka Sutidze.
Supporting Lynes-Beka Johnny has put together a solid card featuring many of the rising stars from his TRAD TKO stable, as well as a couple from Alan Smith's squad.
On making the announcement a clearly pleased Johnny said.
"June the 1st sees the launch of TKO Events, something that should have been launched in April and then May but eventually ended up being in June.
As it's our first show we're really excited here at the gym, it was supposed to be a co-promotion with Spencer Fearon but Spencer has other commitments and he can't do it, so no hard feelings there but I promised the boys fights so obviously we've had to go ahead with it.
I'm really looking forward to it, although I have promoted events with other promoters this will be the first time I'm promoting my own show.
It's been a challenge, but with the help of Rio (Gianluca Di Caro), Dave Murphy and Tony Vincent we've slowly got it together.
We've had promises of sponsors, but they didn't materialize for whatever reason but now we've got another sponsor in place, who put his money where his mouth is and come up with the money straight away, which has helped make the show possible.
We've got five or six of our own fighters on the show, plus a couple from Alan Smith in Adam Dingsdale and Lewis Pettitt.
I'm looking forward to working with Alan again, it's been a long time since we've worked together.
Headlining our first show is Colin Lynes, I've know Colin since he was a kid so it's a real pleasure to be promoting him.
I believe Colin's still got a couple of titles left in him and if we get the opportunity we will progress him onto the title trail once again.
On the 1st June we have Colin fighting Beka Sutidze in a non-championship International bout.
This should be a really great fight, both boys like to go to war, so it is an appropriate headline fight for our first show, which we named 'Two Tribes Go To War".
Our Freddie Turner gets his second outing since signing with us in March, he's another one we want to move onto the title trail as soon as possible.
I don't need to say too much about Freddie as I have said it all before, Freddie is one of the most exciting young prospects around and it's an honour to have him on board.
On the 1st June Freddie will have his work cut out, as he's facing Jay Morris, who as I'm sure you know is as tough as old boots.
Another of the TRAD TKO boys on the show is Festim Lama, with Festim it's a matter of what you see is what you get. He's a tough kid, who comes to fight. He's very, very entertaining and will be a crowd pleaser I'm sure.
Also on the show I've got the debut of my big heavyweight Paulius Kasiulevicius from Lithuania. Paulius is only twenty three years of age but has had plenty of amateur experience.
He's been training with John Murray down at our sister gym, The VK Gym in Bognor, so I know he's going to be in excellent condition for the fight.
Another new signing I have on the show is Tom Little. Tom's improved so much under the guidance of our Barry Smith, not only in ability wise but also fitness.
In Tom's previous five fights he's never been totally fit, but now he's certainly never been fitter and he's never had as much sparring as he has had since joining us at the TRAD TKO.
It's great to have two young heavyweight involved on our first show.
From Spencer's camp we have Kreshnik Qato, who again I'm sure I don't need to say too much about. Everyone knows what a warrior Nik is, he's record says it all.
Finally we have a late addition, Eddie (Ediz) Hussein, so late we don't even have him on the poster. I'm really pleased to have Eddie on the show, he's another one that you know will always put on a fantastic performance.
So as you can see our first event may have been a little late coming but it's here now and it's going to be a great show."
Colin Lynes versus Beka Sutidze headlines the Johnny Eames promoter 'Two Tribes Go To War' event at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Saturday 1st June 2013.
Tickets, priced £35 (Standard Seated) and £60 (Ringside) are available on line at www.tkoboxoffice.com or in person at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town or from any of the fighters named.

Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren has assembled an all-star line up for his blockbuster event at Wembley Arena on Saturday 15th June, live and exclusive on The Channel of Champions BoxNation (Sky Ch. 437/Virgin Ch. 546).
Top of the bill sees an explosive Trans-Atlantic heavyweight showdown between Britain's enigmatic Dereck Chisora and unbeaten American star Deontay Wilder in a ten-round international contest.
Londoner Chisora is relishing the fight and is promising to pull off a huge upset as he targets a second world title shot. Chisora beat Argentine Hector Alfredo Avila last month at Wembley, stopping him in the ninth round – his first fight since his loss to David Haye in July last year – and sees the dynamite punching US heavyweight hope as his route back to the top.
Wilder from Tuscaloosa in Alabama and known as the "Bronze Bomber" has blasted out all 28 of his opponents with a staggering 26 of them coming inside three rounds. The Beijing Bronze medallist ended the career of Britain's Audley Harrison last month, blitzing the Olympic Champion inside 70 seconds in his UK debut.
Chief support on the card sees an exciting all-British showdown between two unbeaten young champions in Frankie Gavin and Denton Vassell to decide who's the best at 147lbs.
Birmingham ace Gavin, the British Welterweight Champion, makes the second defence of his title against Vassell who puts his Commonwealth title on the line.
Gavin won the title by outpointing Junior Witter last November and defended against Jason Welborn in January with seventh round stoppage. Unbeaten in 15 fights with 11 KO's, Gavin – still Britain's only ever World Amateur Champion – faces the toughest test of his career against his undefeated Manchester rival. Vassell has already claimed the scalp of a hot unbeaten prospect in Ronnie Heffron last November, stopping him in six rounds and will have no fear facing Gavin.
Ellesmere Port's Paul Butler returns to London, bringing his all-action style to thrill fans' once again. The exciting new young star of British boxing aims to add a third title in back-to-back fights when he challenges for the Vacant WBO Intercontinental Super-Flyweight title as he storms his way to world title shot. Butler, who holds the British title, won the Commonwealth belt last month at Wembley Arena with a devastating performance against Yaqub Kareem, stopping the champion inside five rounds.
Liverpool warriors Paul Smith and Tony Dodson meet again in a brutal rematch with the British Super-Middleweight title up for grabs. The pair clashed over three years ago in a bloody and brutal battle that saw Smith, then British champion, suffer two cuts above his eye in the opening round from head clashes and take some heavy shots from Dodson, but he battled back with a powerful performance to win on the judges' scorecards.
Unbeaten London super-middleweight star Frank Buglioni continues his meteoric rise and features in an eight-round contest on the undercard as he targets a first title shot. The hard-hitting 24-year-old made it six KO's out of eight fights with his third round KO of Darren McKenna last time out at Wembley Arena.
An action-packed undercard features unbeaten light-heavyweight and 2010 Commonwealth Games Champion Calum Johnson from Boston; Southern Area Welterweight Champion Bradley Skeete; Former Southern Area Light-Middleweight Champion Steve O'Meara; Wembley Light-Welterweight Gary Corcoran; Harrow Weald Super-Featherweight Mitchell Smith; Canning Town lightweight Billy Morgan; Chingford's unbeaten Tom Baker and Bowers Gifford John Dignum clash over four rounds at middleweight; plus Islington super-featherweight Joey Taylor.
Tickets, priced at £40, £50, £70, £100 and £150 are available now on-line at www.tkoboxoffice.com – call 07960 for further information

A gift of any amount to support the Allen Hall project is an investment in our students, faculty, and ideas. It is about more than just space—this will be the new home for the future of media.
This renovation will welcome students to make Allen Hall a second home where they can work and collaborate. Informal learning and collaboration spaces are an important part of this comprehensive plan to serve students and create a vibrant learning community.
The student lounge will provide a comfortable space where students can meet, prepare for a test, or just hang out. The reading alcoves will give students quiet, welcoming spaces to study.
Well-designed offices will enhance the faculty's teaching and research efforts, providing spaces to meet with and mentor students. The investment in faculty space will also help the SOJC recruit top new faculty members.

What to do when university admission documents doesn't reach university or university lot my supporting documents.
I want to discuss a problem associated with my application.Even though I sent all the application credentials in time-
- 10th & 11th Mark Transcripts officially signed and attested.
- Statement of Purpose
- Letters of Recommendations
- Application fee
- and Essays
- SAT & TOEFL Official Score reports
It seems that the university did not receive them ( IN MY CASE TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE STATION ).
Will it effect my admission process. I sent them well before in time but is not reflecting in my application tracker, which says
We have not received your documents yet(Mentioned above). Is there a chance that there is a fault with the courier system.
I sent it with FED-EX and it says the documents have already reached before the deadline.
What shall I do now. I've also been given a Universal Identification Number (UIN), which confirms that they've received my application and essays(Submitted online). Do they guarantee any admission. Help me HSB. I am in real trouble now.
Missing Application Documents
There are 5 ways to check college admission status. Lets analyze what could have happened. Several scenarios are possible here.
- If Texas A&M, College station has fixed admission deadlines, then chances are your application package haven't been opened for processing.
- University lost your application documents
- Application documents delivered to different department
- You forgot to send above documents ( I know you will not agree to this)
What Next?
Why do you think you are in real trouble. Even in your previous mail, you said you are in real trouble. If you have a problem, don't hit the panic button right away.
- Call them (better than sending email) and ask why is your status is documents not received.
- If they lost the application (less likely, but possible) say the name of the person who signed and received it.
- Send them the FedEx tracking number.
- Worst Case – They will ask you to send the documents again.
Follow the required documents for admission checklist and how to send college application documents.
There is always a solution, eventhough you have to prepare for worst case scenario, if things go wrong, don't assume worst case has happened.

Building and maintaining strong and healthy bones largely depends on the optimal production of collagen, a protein that forms the basic structure of the bone and determines its strength. This protein creates the foundation for a proper deposition of calcium and other minerals that give the bone its characteristic solid and hard appearance. Bone cells need specific vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other micronutrients to support optimal collagen formation and mineral deposition. A chronic deficiency of these micronutrients can lead to mineral depletion in the bones and their weakening.
Warnings: Keep out of reach of children. As with all dietary supplements, consult your healthcare professional before use. See product label for more information.

Michel Josue Testimonial
In Haiti, especially in remote mountain regions, the local teacher is just the person who can read the best and is available – not necessarily one who has received a degree in education or even teacher training.
As school administrator, Michel Josue trains teachers for several schools.
He will be graduating from Laurel University in May 2012 with a master's degree in education. Once this happens, he's looking for the next level, a doctorate degree, Michel says
"…to have more, to give more, to do more for the Lord,"
He believes that education will significantly help Haiti out of poverty. He also appreciates Laurel University's education program which helps him help others.
A Laurel U instructor noticed that every time a class ended, Michel would ask for any power point presentations.
When questioned, he explained that he gathered together information from the classes he was taking to pass it forward, training the teachers he's responsible for. Not only was he learning himself, but also immediately sharing it with his teacher. Many Laurel U education students in Haiti are doing the same.
Whether formally or informally, they use what they've learned to train and assist other teachers to develop curriculum and improve teaching strategies.
"I'm very happy to be part of this program, because this was part of my dream: to further my education to better help my country. What we're doing here in Haiti is important and what Laurel U is doing is important. I want people to know. Thank you and thank you again."

I've been working on a project dealing with file paths inside our PostgreSQL databases and came across a situation where I wanted to parse out the file name from a path. As with everything code related, there are several ways to accomplish the task at hand.
Here are the three easiest methods I've came up with.
SELECT '/path/to/my/file.txt' AS str_path ,REGEXP_REPLACE('/path/to/my/file.txt', '^[^*?"<>|:]*/','') ,ARRAY_TO_STRING(REGEXP_MATCHES('/path/to/my/file.txt','([^/]+)$','g'),'') ,SPLIT_PART('/path/to/my/file.txt','/',ARRAY_UPPER(REGEXP_SPLIT_TO_ARRAY('/path/to/my/file.txt','\/'),1));
And now for a breakdown of each method.
REGEXP_REPLACE('/path/to/my/file.txt', '^[^*?"<>|:]*/','')
The first method is the most simple method (and fastest). It uses regex to find and replace everything but the last element in a path with empty space ('').
The second method finds the last element (the reverse of the first method). The function
REGEXP_MATCHES returns a PostgreSQL array so we use the
ARRAY_TO_STRING function to convert the array to a string.
This third method is probably overkill but it may be useful if you can't seem to get a regex expressions to work. The method uses
REGEX_SPLIT_TO_ARRAY to split the string into an array. Then using the
ARRAY_UPPER function we find out how many elements are in the array. This value is then passed to the
SPLIT_PART function , telling it which element we want returned.
Keep in mind that with each of the methods above you can always replace the delimiter with your own search criteria to come up with fun and exciting ways to pull out that gem of information from a string!

I have the pleasure of introducing you to Tracie and her blog, Spirits Of The Old, described as, ". . . Individual Family History."
How Tracie Got Started in Genealogy
"It started back when I was 10 years old, just after my mother died, up till then I never thought to ask why I only had one grandparent, my maternal grandmother (nana). Once mom was gone I started asking where my other grandparents and family were. I found out my dad was adopted and his adopted parents had died long before I was born. That started me on my journey to find my paternal grandparents, a journey that would take just 44 years for me to discover their names."
Tracie's Thoughts on Blogging
"I started Spirits of the Old after I discovered GeneaBloggers. The daily themes and reading the other wonderful blogs there inspired me to look at blogging in a new way, as well as doing my Genealogy, instead of just names and dates logged into a computer program or written down on paper. I now see a story of my Ancestors and I'm able to share it with others. Since starting my blog last year I have been contacted by long lost family members who have shared with me family photos, stories and documentation that I did not have."
Tracie created her blog title from, "'Scotlandthe Brave' Hark! When the night is falling Hear, Hear! The pipes are calling, loudly and proudly calling, down through the glen. There where the hills are sleeping, now feel the blood a-leaping, High as the spirits of the oldHighland men."
Tracie had a few blogging concerns in the beginning, "One that I would never make it past a few posts before I lost interest in it, and two, that no one would read it."
How Tracie Follows the Rest of Us
"I follow many (over 100). I usually spend my weekends with a cup (pot) of coffee as I visit their pages."
Tracie's Time Capsule Message
"My message to future generations is ask questions while there is family to ask, listen to the stories your Grandparents and parents tell no matter how silly or boring you may find them now, one day they will mean the world to you. Write things down because one day you will want to know about your Ancestors."

Deepwater Horizons not so bright
On 20 April a disastrous explosion on the BP-owned Deepwater Horizon rig killed 11 workers and subsequently caused the rig to sink. A damaged wellhead underwater was left leaking over 1 million litres of oil per day for a month. In the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in April, the world is left wondering how this could happen, whether or not it was preventable – and more importantly, will it happen again? Bjorn-Ruban Thomassen reports.
Deepwater Horizon is not the first major devastating oil spill in the world. A little closer to home, it was only last year that one of Australia's worst oil disasters occurred.
On 21 August 2009, a blowout on a rig in the Montara oil field in the Timor Sea off the northern coast of Western Australia left a well leaking 64 tonnes of oil per day. The well did not stop leaking until 3 November when the blowout was capped.
The World Wide Fund for Nature reported that the oil leak had significant impact on marine life, occurring in a fragile conservation area. Consequently green groups have been calling for better emergency response plans at oil and gas sites, as well as improved safety measures.
In more ways than one, the Montara Wellhead spill foreshadowed what would be an even worse disaster.
While the official investigative report on the spill is yet to be made public, conservationists and experts claim that lessons clearly have to be learned in the field of security and safety measurements on oil rigs worldwide.
And while the public discussion on the safety over oil rigs continues, others question the severity of impact oil spills have on the environment.
In a report published on the University of Technology Sydney's Newsroom website, professor and marine biologist Peter Ralph argues that the Montara Wellhead leak had little impact on marine life.
"This is not refined or processed oil leaking from the Montara Wellhead platform.
"It is the same natural oil that leaks from natural fissures in the sea floor.
"The highly toxic components of this oil evaporate far more readily than other oils such as the bunker oils. As the slick breaks down, components of the oil will dissolve in the water but the large volume of the surrounding water means the impact is quickly diluted."
While Professor Ralph's statements might indicate that oil spills of a major size like the Montara Wellhead are not as dangerous as they are made out to be, other experts say there is simply not enough knowledge of the subject.
Professor Ross Coleman is the director for the Centre for Research on Ecological Impacts of Coastal Cities at the University of Sydney. He says more research is needed before we can truly define the environmental impacts of oil spills.
"The environmental impact of an oil spill is often actually not known because it's an area we don't have much knowledge of.
"People don't necessarily define what they mean by environmental impact. For instance, conservation groups often use emotive imagery in their work. A bird covered in oil spill trying to take off from a rig is not a pleasant sight, but it is not necessarily indicative of environmental damage."
After the Deepwater Horizon spills, birds were largely reported to be affected and Coleman agrees this is a problem.
"The effects of oil spills on sea birds are reasonably understood," he says.
"Oil causes birds to lose the capacity to insulate themselves, so they often die of hypothermia. And while there is the option of cleaning the birds, it usually adds stress and the birds end up dispersing anyway."
However, Coleman argues that it is very hard to know in detail how oil spills affect other marine life, as in general we know very little about the deep sea.
"We generally know more about the surface of the moon than we do about the deep sea. So understanding ecological impact on deep sea marine life, such as organisms living on the sea floor is simply something we need to do more research on. Better research on oil spills in these habitats would mean we would better know what would happen if they were contaminated," Coleman says.
A greener future
Environmental groups worldwide argue that oil spills on the whole should be avoided no matter how much or little of an impact they have on marine life.
Alex Moore, spokesperson for Friends of the Earth US says all new oil drilling should be avoided.
"Offshore drilling is inherently dirty and dangerous. The only way to protect our coasts and our economy from oil spills is to ban any new offshore drilling," he says.
The organisation also remains highly critical of the US government and BP in light of the recent disaster.
"For far too long the U.S. Government has allowed oil companies to set the rules for safety and environmental protection", he says. "Do-nothing regulators have looked the other way as companies like BP drilled deeper and deeper, putting the coastal ecosystems and fisheries at unacceptable risk.
"President Obama needs to take over the spill response to ensure that people and the environment are put ahead of BP's profits," says Moore.
BP themselves have openly declared ultimate responsibility for what happened and are responsible for making things right.
While their response to the oil spill has been under extreme amounts of scrutiny, even President Obama acknowledged at a recent press conference that some of the criticism hurled at BP has been unfair or overly harsh. And as the company progresses with the clean-up, the very future for offshore drilling is looking bleak.
Green organisations warn of future environmental disasters caused by offshore drilling, and while President Obama has put a moratorium on drilling permits until November, experts are beginning to question whether our dependency on fossil fuels must come to an end once and for all.
Professor Coleman says there are resources that unlike fossil fuels, are not currently being used to their full potential.
"There is a fine supply of oil and coal on the planet, and the less there is the harder it is to get, and the pricier it will become. I think we will suffer stress long before the supplies run out," he says.
He adds that Australia has a "shockingly bad" reputation in this respect.
"We have the possibility to provide solar power a lot more than we do. And yet successive governments have unsuccessfully done so, by failing to fund necessary research.
"For instance," he adds, "the University of New South Wales did research on solar power but was cut back on funding.
"Another indicative of a poor attitude towards the issue is the lack of use of water power. In Sydney, it rains more than it does in London but still most of the rainwater goes out to sea so we suffer periodic droughts."
Greenpeace International recently announced a new blueprint showing how governments investing in green energy jobs could save the climate and fossil fuel addiction.
"Our Energy Revolution scenario shows how to eliminate unpredictable fossil fuel costs, destructive mining and oil exploration and with it catastrophes such as the current BP Gulf oil spill," said Sven Teske, Greenpeace International's Senior Energy Expert in a statement.
"Investing in people, rather than dirty and dangerous fossil fuels not only boosts global economic development but stems catastrophic climate change," he added. The report goes on to show that cutting our dependency on fossil fuels is not a matter of technology, but investment.
"The 2010 Energy Revolution report outlines pathways towards a 100% renewable energy supply for the world. It demonstrates that there is no technological barrier to achieving this vision and reaping its many benefits in terms of the environment and jobs," said Christine Lins, Secretary General of the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC).
She added, "The barrier is political. All that is now needed to set sustainable energy future for our planet is the political will."
The Lofoten Islands – potential disaster
This political will might see a rather significant boost after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, if environmentalists are to be believed.
In Norway, plans for test drilling were recently dropped.
With its 4.8 million inhabitants, it might seem rather insignificant in comparison to the bigger, more powerful European nations, but Norway is no small player on the European economic market.
With large resources of oil, natural gas and hydroelectric power, it is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, benefitting from its large coastal areas, strategically kept to itself by opting out of affiliation with the European Union.
Since the 1960's, successful offshore test drilling for oil and gas has quickly sent the country to the top of the world's list of financially wealthy countries, and Norway invests its Petroleum Fund, saving up capita for future generations.
While Norway has avoided any major damage from oil spills, there are still concerns about its offshore rigs.
As the government announced new plans for more test drilling close to potentially very fragile marine environments, green groups throughout the country panicked and quickly opposed the government's plans.
However, it was not until the Deepwater Horizon disaster that plans were officially dropped.
The proposed new drilling was to take place in the Barents Sea, just off the coast of the Lofoten Islands. For the 25,000 inhabitants living on the islands, an environmental disaster such as an oil spill could have devastating consequences.
Frederic Hauge, of the Norwegian Environmental group Bellona, says the area is one of the world's most important fishing grounds.
"The Lofoten Islands and the Barents Sea is one of the world's cleanest sea areas, and is the natural habitat for over 150 different fish species," he says.
"The areas are grounds for spawning for some of the world's most important fish stocks. The Northern areas are regarded as internationally important sea bird areas, and are the homes to a lot of endangered species. These unique resources are vulnerable to pollution from oil spills."
Bellona says the Norwegian government so far has insufficiently taken this into consideration, as well as failing to acknowledge how there is very little knowledge about the natural resources in the area.
"Accidents and spills in these vulnerable areas will generally have bigger consequences than other places in the world," Hauge says.
With the government currently revising its plans for expanding offshore oil drilling, the vast fishing and sea bird grounds of the Lofoten Islands are momentarily safe, but for other areas of the world offshore oil drilling is the only option in the search for energy fuels.
Joshua Reichert of the Pew Charitable Trusts in the US says while offshore oil drilling probably will not come to an end anytime soon, environmentalists are happy with the focus that has been put on safety measures and risk assessment.
"All uses of the ocean should be considered through rigorous, scientifically valid assessments of the potential impacts and benefits," he says. "If offshore oil and gas development continues to be a part of the picture it should not be at the expense of either safety or the other economic and environmental values our oceans provide."
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority and BP Global declined to issue any comments, and directed information requests on to their respective websites.
Bjorn-Ruban Thomassen was on an Global Environmental Journalism Education Initiative exchange at UTS is now back at City University where he is completing a Bachelor in Journalism.

Note: At the end of this infographic the creator suggests a series of "fixes" for the Federal Reserve. Tweaking the Federal Reserve is not the appropriate solution. We must end the Fed.
Source: Best Accounting Schools
Uncovering The Fed: The Federal Reserve and its Critics
In the early 20th century, a financial crisis led panicked citizens to withdraw all their money at once, damaging banks. By 1913, Congress responded with the Federal Reserve Act, creating 12 regional banks acting as a federal bank to deal in local and global affairs with both private banks and the federal government.
Is the Fed still doing its job today? What secrets are being kept from us and how are the Fed's ations impacting our economy?
Some say the Fed was meant to create a balanced economy, while others argue its purpose was to inorganically manipulate free enterprise, rescusing banks that we'd be better off without.
Complaints Against The Fed
- Overly secretive
- Should be fully audited
- Encourages bad, risky investments by softening the blow of bad decisions
- Causes economic bubbles
- Makes the pain of recessions worse by covering up and exasperating problems that the market would correct on its own
- Caters to banks and financial insiders
- Systematically allows the value of money to decrease as a result of inflation
- For 100 years before the Fed, money retained or gained value over time
- Discourages people from saving for the future
- Doesn't hold government spending in check
Explanations By The Fed
- Needs level of secrecy in order to maintain independence from political pressures and make wise decisions
- Monitoring of the Fed could create uneccessary economic panic
- Keeps inflation stable
- Softens the blow of recessions and prevents depressions
Other Fed Issues
- Savers and investors have lost money to the big financial institutions
- $400 bill in government losses
- TARP still owes taxpayers $118.5 billion
- Fed claims to have gotten paid back for loans, but secrecy remains an issue
The Gold Standard
The gold standard was a method of valuing money based on the price of gold, a real tangible object with value. The gold standard was eventually abandoned by the Fed.
Why We Left The Gold Standard
- Gives the government more flexibility for dealing with economic recessions
- Allows the government to spend more than it has on hand in case of emergencies
Benefits Of The Gold Standard
Holds government spending in check with upper limits
- Non-arbitrary
- A tangible, limited resource that sets real spending ceilings
Reducing The Fed's Influence
What would things look like if the Fed had less influence?
- Interest rates would be higher
- People would save more and spend less
- Government would spend within its means
- People would spend within their means
- There would be decreased consumption
- People would invest more
- Stock values would track company value and efficiency more closely
- Government would shrink
- America would produce and manufacture more
- Trade deficits would shrink
How Do We Fix A Broken Fed?
- Boot Bernanke
- Get big bankers and corporate interests off the Fed boards
- Uphold higher lending standards
- Ensure the Fed doesn't bend its own rules for personal interests
- Work for the whole economy and not just the banks
- Consider a return to the gold standard (removing the clout of monetary policy)

Mayoral candidate Lee Kropp, 43, is challenging voters to consider whether enough is being done in Eureka to enhance it as a place to live, work and raise families.
Kropp said he believes more efforts should be employed to build on the new businesses who choose to establish in Eureka, as well as to attract consumers and shoppers to the city.
Citing it's time for a change, Kropp also references several city projects that were initiated only recently. "Projects that the current mayor has promised in all my years that I have live in Eureka. I have seen many promises during my residency for the past 17 years. I want better results," he said in campaign materials.
"There are some that have grown comfortable with the status quo, and may be uneasy of change. But I'm running for mayor because I care, and I want to make a difference," he said.
Kropp said many Eureka residents have talked to him about the need for a citywide water softening system, due to the area's extremely hard water supply. Eureka is the only wholly-contained municipality in St. Louis County with its own water and sewer services.
Although Kropp has no previous experience with elected positions, he was a former Eureka Chamber of Commerce president.
"I believe in civil service, and will always be available before and after elected," he said.
Kropp hosted 12 at local restaurants, starting Feb. 9 and ending on April 3.
More details about Kropp's plans can be found on his website. His e-mail address is email@example.com.
His comments from participating in Monday's Eureka Chamber of Commerce candidate forum can be found on .
Kropp owns Theatrical Concept, a home theater company. He and his wife have raised two children.
Regarding Kropp's financial challenges and bankruptcy, he said he has been "forthright" but that he feels publicly available documents about his finances "do not tell the real story." For example, he said his company had a lawsuit with a company that he claims delivered damaged plasma TVs. He said they lost the case because an employee did not check the boxes when they came off the truck. He said several similar instances mounted up in a given period of time to cause financial hardship as a small business owner.
Additionally, at one point, he stated when the mortgage company for his residence was taken over by a bank, they were given 14 days to come up with $100,000. "To save our home, we were told we had to file for bankruptcy," he said.
Kropp said many topics that have been rumored during this mayoral campaign were based on "half-truths." He said, "I think some of what's happened in this campaign has turned it into a class 3 mayor race, which is a shame."

First and foremost the date has changed from Sunday 10th August to Sunday 3rd August.
Steve has kindly agreed to move our event forward a week so as not to clash with the newly organised Pontefract Grand Prix on the afternoon of the 10th.
With the recent trouble we've been having with road race courses in Nottinghamshire Steve is hoping to run Tumby's Road Race on a larger circuit at Braithwell that is also used for the Out of the Saddle Road Race later in the year.
With the bigger circuit also comes the need for more marshals so I'm asking now rather than a week before the event, if YOU can help Steve out and not leave it to him to rally round his family and friends at the last minute.
This is the second of four events that the Club is promoting this year so please try and do your bit and keep this and other events going for the future of our sport.
It's a 10 o'clock start and the event is 68 mile so it should be all over by about 1pm.
Steve can be contacted by email, pigeon post or the good old dog and bone, his details have been circulated via email but contact us through this website and we'll forward your details.
Had an email from the organiser of this event and the prize list looks very impressive… anyone riding??

On the 12th of September 2011, JBIMS hosted Mr. L. S. Narayanswami, Associate Director, Strategic Initiatives, Standard Chartered Bank and Alumnus from the Batch of 1999, for a guest lecture for the Batch of 2013. The students were very excited to have such an eminent personality from the industry address them and share his wealth of experiences. He spoke on topics ranging from his life at JBIMS, his stint as an entrepreneur to his tenure at Standard Chartered Bank, and shared his success mantras with the batch.
Talking about qualities essential for succeeding in life, he said that confidence, clarity of thought, and having the right attitude were of utmost importance. Emphasizing the importance of hard work he said, "Nothing works like work, especially in the early part of one's life". He also suggested, "Attitude is good; Attitude problem is not".
It was interesting for the students to know that after an eight year stint at banking; he had worked for a couple of years on his own entrepreneurial venture. He said "Entrepreneurship is a fabulous thing to explore at some point in life". It was not the money but the ability to create something new that was the key driver for him. He also expressed that there is no concept of a work-life balance in an entrepreneur's life, but the experience is "priceless".
He urged the students to pursue their hobbies as it gives one a fresh perspective on life. He advised the class, "Life will take turns, which you never thought of. Life will offer you opportunities which some of you will grab and some of you may not. But the key is to not get stressed."
Reminiscing his days at JBIMS he shared a few light hearted memories such as the frequent use of acronyms like "DAGMA - Desperate Attention Grabbing Measures and Actions". He concluded this passionate and motivating lecture by urging the JBites to continue the legacy and 'Keep the Bajaj flag flying high'.
