4.01/5 rDev +3.9%
750ml bottle purchased in March, 2014 at Shadyside Giant Eagle. Poured into tulip glass.
A - Dark dark ruby brown, must be held to direct light to demonstrate brightness. Nice 1 1/2" head on pour that fades slowly.
S - Cured plum, dates, and raison with a healthy dose of spiced rum. Rum intensifies as the glass warms, blueberries and chocolate come out.
T - Sweet dark fruits upfront, a little heat from the alcohol, fading into cured dates, dark fruit preserves, and a note of port on the finish.
M - Creamy with moderate carbonation, little sticky on the finish.
O - Very rich and full quad, paired nicely with a shoulder roast braised in black IPA. I think this bottle would have been better if given a few more months, but I couldn't wait, it paired too well with the dinner at hand.

4.19/5 rDev +8.5%
DATE REVIEWED: June 17, 2014... GLASSWARE: Duvel snifter... OCCASION: year in public education #15--done!...APPEARANCE: intimidating dark black body that sports a thin white head that settles quickly--a white on black spectacle... AROMA: toffee and peat malt dominate the nostrils; fruity yeasts--peach, pear, apple--provide a floral balance... PALATE: active, warm, full-bodied--worth sipping of 10% ABV; like a strong ale in texture, but a bit buttery too... TASTE: complex fruit--plum, black currants, and banana--with clove cigarettes and milk stout properties--a demanding,, playful experience... OVERALLL: the kitchen sink seems thrown in here, with a serious backbone that rewards the drinker with hear and flavor--a big beer that could be brought out for big occasions....

750ml bottle bought from Lighthouse Wines, Jordanstown
Poured a deep burgundy red / brown colour with a slight haze... Creamy tan head poured quite foamy but faded very quickly to thin covering with thick edging... fair amount of carbonation bubbles... light patchy lacing...
Aroma - Dark sweet and spicy fruits (raisins, prunes, some blackcurrents), strong toasted toffee maltiness, some molasses notes, yeasty, caramel, light aniseed hints, some light rum traces, vanilla, some nuttiness, peppery hops...
Taste - Spicy dark fruits (definite raisins and prunes, spicy apples, some figs and blackcurrents), brown sugar / toffee sweetness, milk chocolate, toasted malt loaf, strong Belgian yeastiness, light herbal notes, nice warming alcohol, liquorice hints, spicy hops...
Feel - Quite sharp and dry then some smoothness coming through after.. Medium / full bodied... Pretty drinkable considering the strength...
Overall - An excellent Quad and one of the best i've had... recommended...

A: deep mahogany color, clear, head dissipated quickly
S: dark fruits, jam-like, leathery, cidery hints
T: mellow, sweeter, cloying, leather, dark fruit

3.13/5 rDev -18.9%
Welcome to DC, Sly Fox!
Served in a "Game of Thrones" glass.
A: Poured a dark, dark, brown with a slight bit of translucence, possibly only detected by some serious astronomical tools.
S: PEZ dust, with figs, plums, and various dark fruit. Somewhat understated, yet still present.
T: Kinda strong on the sugar and Belgian yeast front. Totally overwhelming. The fruit was there, along with a bucket of brown sugar.
M: Decent carbonation bill, but this stuff is boozy as hell. Seriously, It's hard to take a gulp of it.
O: This one was fairly cheap, at only $8.99. If you're looking for some cheap social lubricant, go ahead. However, I'll pass on this in the future.

I expect the Cowboys to play the TO situation close to the chest, but force the Giants to gameplan for a healthy and healed TO. In fact, I'm sure TO dresses and starts, regardless.
Need a monster effort from the run-D and the pass rush.
FWIW, NFC is generic 16 point dog in the SB.

Sebastian's parents were Spanish peasants. At the age of 31 he sailed to Mexico, where he began working in the fields. Eventually he built roads to facilitate agricultural trading and other commerce. His 466-mile road from Mexico City to Zacatecas took 10 years to build and required careful negotiations with the indigenous peoples along the way.
In time Sebastian was a wealthy farmer and rancher. At the age of 60 he entered a virginal marriage. His wife's motivation may have been a large inheritance; his was to provide a respectable life for a girl without even a modest marriage dowry. When his first wife died, he entered another virginal marriage for the same reason; his second wife also died young.
At the age of 72 Sebastian distributed his goods among the poor and entered the Franciscans as a brother. Assigned to the large (100-member) friary at Puebla de los Angeles south of Mexico City, Sebastian went out collecting alms for the friars for the next 25 years. His charity to all earned him the nickname "Angel of Mexico."
Sebastian was beatified in 1787 and is known as a patron of travelers.

Help Your Child Adjust to a New School
When Mary Rice's husband walked through the door, she knew something was wrong. "He told me his job was moved to Georgia, and we could either go with the job or lose the job," she says. "We both cried for hours."
The Rices had built their entire life around a small community in Pennsylvania, but corporate downsizing was taking its toll on the area and many families were being forced to relocate.
"We knew the best move for our future was to move," says Rice, who now lives in Atlanta, Ga. "But it wasn't so easy to convince the kids."
At 8 and 11 years old, the Rice children were settled into their schools and had strong circles of friends. Their reaction is echoed by millions of children who are forced to relocate and begin life in a new city and a new school. It's bound to be a stressful experience, but parents can help ease the new school blues.
First Things First
Involve your children as much as possible in the move and the options surrounding it. "We didn't have a choice of whether or not we had to move, but we did have a choice about the house and the neighborhood and even the schools," says Janice Long, of Mequon, Wis. "Those became the kids' pet projects."
While it was a logistical hassle, the Longs felt it was important enough to bring their children on every trip they made to Wisconsin. "It really would have been easier if my husband and I could have flown up alone, but the kids ended up seeing something special in a house my husband and I didn't really like," Long says. "Now, we can't imagine living anywhere else."
Most realty offices have personnel designated as "Relocation Specialists." These people are schooled in the intricate process of moving from one city to another. Most have considerable information about neighborhoods and schools. They may even be able to send you an informational package to get the ball rolling.
Now That You Know
Once you've ironed out where to live and which school to attend, it's time to prepare your child. "Some kids come to a new school and fit in with no problem," says Lori Linden, a school counselor for the Millcreek Township School District in Erie, Pa. "Then, you have the kids who have that 'shy' nature or maybe even a 'tough guy' exterior, who have problems fitting in due to that personality style. Parents just need to pay attention to their child's personality and what they are like."
If your child has had problems making or keeping friends in the past, or if your child takes a considerable amount of time to warm up to people, there are things you can do to help. "If they know that their child is shy and has difficulty interacting, then they may want to take some extra steps – like role-playing situations – where the child would introduce themselves to peers or ask to play with peers," says Linden. "Don't make the role play perfect, either. It's good to help your child process how they would handle a tough situation, so they get that practice beforehand. Kids can be mean; it's hard to fit into a group when you're new, so the more skills they have going in, the better."
Keep the lines of communication open. Even if your child is an extrovert, he or she still might have reservations about this move. Ask if they are bothered. Ask if you can help. Let them know you will do whatever it takes to make them comfortable in their new school.
Linden suggests that parents and children take a school tour before the start of classes. This way, the child can see the classrooms and maybe even meet their teacher. The key to good preparation is to eliminate or reduce the surprises.
The School's Turn
Your help isn't the only assistance that your child can expect. More than likely, the school will work with you to ensure a smooth transition. "I usually meet with new kids after a week or so and see how they're doing," Linden says. "That way, they know what they have to deal with and who they are dealing with, if there are any problems."
Despite your best intentions to eliminate the surprises, you can't know what your child's classmates are like until he or she begins classes. This is where the school can help. Linden points out that some kids develop a hard exterior in order to prevent others from being mean to them. "This kind of kid will probably be identified early on by the teacher, and hopefully, the teacher or counselor would be able to intervene before it gets out of hand," she says. "Parents just need to give their kids those extra tools, like having respect and being kind."
"We figured Julia was doing fine," says Kathy Thompson of Lansing, Mich. "She seemed to have adjusted well. But it was odd that she never called friends and that friends never called her. We didn't realize she was being cordial but not really getting to know anyone. That changed when I suggested she join the ski club."
If you're not in school with your child and you can't meet classmates ahead of time, how do you help friendships develop? Suggest an activity. "Try to have the parents involve their children in extracurricular activities – any sports, scouts, music, etc.," Linden says. "Anything is better than nothing. Those groups typically foster good friendships."
The school also can be instrumental in helping your special needs child get settled. "If a child has special needs, whether they are academic, physical or social-emotional, let the school know in advance so they can offer their support," Linden says. "Most districts have support teams to help students."
Starting over in a new school is not just your child's problem; it can become everyone's problem if behavior issues result from unhappiness. Even though relocation is a busy time for parents, you have the knowledge to empower your child, if you just take the extra time.

The captain of the historic ship HMS Bounty, which sank off the coast of North Carolina, is still missing. The Bounty is underwater and only the mast remains barely visible, about 125 miles from Cape Hatteras.
The 180-foot replica tall ship was headed to St. Petersburg, when it sank in Sandy's heavy seas and powerful winds. We talked to a local man who helped train the ship's crew.
Grant Bredeson of Palm Harbor is leading an effort to help his stranded fellow crew mates. We also learned more from a former captain and crew member about what it took to work that tall ship on its maiden voyage, and why it almost sunk once before, when it caught fire.
"I was on board in Puerto Rico, helped train-up the new crew for this coming season," said Bredeson, who told us he was psyched to join his crew when they were supposed to arrive in St. Pete next month, only to watch in horror as the U.S. Coast Guard pulled them from the Atlantic.
"God bless the Coast Guard," said Bredeson. "They're doing a great job, but seeing my friends get off the boat, and looking the way they looked, just the look on their faces, broke my heart."
He said the crew trains constantly for a disaster like this, which is why he is hopeful 63-year-old Captain Robin Walbridge is still alive somewhere in his survival suit.
"We practice getting those suits on in 90 seconds and getting the life rafts and being ready to launch those in under two minutes," said Bredeson.
The Coast Guard is searching day and night, and crews from air station Clearwater have already made two passes looking for Walbridge.
"My last trip was in 1995, and it was glorious," said former HMS Bounty Captain Hugh Boyd, who headed the Bounty from 1976 through 1988. "It was a real return to the old days."
Boyd recalls making the trip to Tahiti. The Bounty was built for the 1962 movie version of "Mutiny On The Bounty," starring Marlon Brando.
"He was sort of a loner, and he'd go off up the mast and wait for the next shot to be done while he sat up there by himself, but he was a good guy, yeah, we loved him," said Boyd.
He has a wall in his St. Pete home devoted to his years on the ship.
"We had some terrific storms when we were taking the Bounty to Tahiti," said Roy Boutilier, who was one of the ship's original crew members and was 19 when he signed-on aboard the Bounty. He remembered almost not making it to Tahiti. They were minutes away from abandoning ship; the HMS Bounty was on fire.
"I remember seeing flames coming out of the hatch and I was frightened to death I have to tell you," said Boutilier.
They got the fire out and did not have to abandon ship, but he said it was incredibly close.
The Bounty has survived since that trip until Sandy came along. The U.S. Coast Guard said there are some whispers of salvaging it, but their primary goal is finding Captain Walbridge.
Bredeson is working to establish a fund at Chase Bank to help the crew, who lost everything on the ship. The information is on the Bounty's Facebook page.

Money & Banking
Too many dollars? Easy come, easy go
Sudhanshu Ranade
Chennai , Jan. 26
WHEN large foreign exchange inflows come in too fast, the Reserve Bank of India steps in to buy the surplus in order to avoid jerks in the rate of exchange.
This requires an injection of rupees into the market in lieu of the amount of foreign exchange withdrawn from it. This, in turn, needs to be sorted out, as otherwise inflationary pressures would arise for the domestic economy.
The main method of dealing with it hitherto has been to sell bonds/government securities to mop up surplus liquidity. However, forex inflows in recent years have been so large as to seriously deplete the stock of issuable bonds/securities. Therefore, it was thought necessary to supplement this way of mopping up excess liquidity by prepaying high-cost debt, for example, and by relaxing norms for the release of foreign exchange against rupees on both the current and capital accounts.
As far as the release of foreign exchange is concerned, the present position is that authorised dealers of foreign exchange are allowed to release up to $100,000 for medical treatment abroad, overseas employment, emigration, maintenance of relatives abroad, etc., without any reference to the RBI. The limit for remittance towards consultancy services purchased from outside India has been raised from $100,000 to $1 million a project.
Repatriation of sale proceeds of immovable property acquired by NRIs or PIOs (persons of Indian origin) out of rupee resources has been allowed within an overall limit of $1 million a calendar year provided the property is held by them for a period of not less than 10 years. This facility is available even if the property is held for a shorter period provided the property and sale proceeds are held cumulatively for a period not less than 10 years.
Repatriation of sale proceeds of assets by NRIs/PIOs and foreign nationals by way of inheritance/legacy has been allowed within the overall annual limit of $1 million, subject to tax compliance.

UPDATE 1:05 p.m.: Reuters has released details of its Ipsos poll. It indicates that 56 percent of Americans believe offshore drilling is still necessary. Looked at another way, it says, "69 percent have not changed their views on drilling despite the spill."
A new round of polls this week show that even after nine weeks, Americans still haven't reached much of a consensus on the Gulf oil spill, except that BP is bad.
A Gallup daily tracking report released last night show the public is still just about split on President Obama's handling of the response, with 44 percent approving his performance. That's basically unchanged from early June.
A New York Times/CBS poll out today indicates that 49 percent of Americans oppose increasing offshore oil drilling, while 42 percent approve. But Reuters says it's about to report a poll it conducted with Ipsos North America that shows "a majority of Americans" still support offshore drilling on the U.S. coastline.
Reuters gives no numbers yet, so we don't know how far apart the Ipsos and NYT/CBS polls are.
One thing nearly everyone agrees on: Blame BP. Only 16 percent approve of BP's handling of the spill in the Gallup poll; it's in single digits in the Ipsos poll.
We'll post details of the Ipsos poll once it and Reuters release the data.

2013 Season Recap: Ouch.
by: Michael Aprile
The 2013 season was one full of promise, full of expectations, and unfortunately full of disappointments. If it were a heavyweight bout, the Falcons got knocked out cold in the first round. The feeling most of us as fans were left with was utter shock and disbelief. Finishing with a brutal 4-12 record after being picked by many as a preseason Super Bowl pick seemed unimaginable. How could a team that came so close just one season ago fall so far so fast? Injuries were a major part of the problem as many vital players missed significant playing time, but there was much more to it. Let's take an in-depth look at why the 2013 season didn't turn out as planned.
Failed Youth Movement: The Falcons front office took a leap of faith by releasing long-time starters John Abraham, Todd McClure, and Tyson Clabo. That gamble did not pay off as replacements Peter Konz, Lamar Holmes, and Osi Umenyiora failed to adequately replicate the consistent production we came to expect from their predecessors. The young guns simply were not ready. Couple that with the fact that the Falcons were hit hard by the injury bug and it's easy to see why the "Dirty Birds" only managed 4 wins.
Key Injuries: This Falcons team was loaded with talent, but take away a team's top two receivers, two starting offensive tackles, it's defensive leader, plus other key veterans, and you're obviously going to have huge problems. Losing Julio Jones for the entire season early on with a foot injury was the biggest blow, and without a healthy Roddy White for nearly all 16 games sucked out every bit of explosion this offense was built around. Running back Steven Jackson, the team's top free-agent signing, also missed time with a hamstring injury that seemed to linger until late into the season. Left tackle Sam Baker went on injured reserve with a knee injury that rendered him basically useless in the few games he played in. Starting right tackle Mike Johnson broke his fibula and dislocated his ankle during the preseason, and starting fullback Bradie Ewing broke his shoulder just two games into the year. Both were lost for the season.
On defense, veteran play-making cornerback Asante Samuel missed time with a thigh injury and eventually lost his starting job to rookie Robert Alford. Starting defensive end/linebacker Kroy Biermann, who was a key piece injury Mike Nolan's defense, was lost for the season in Week 2 with an achilles tear. Sean Weatherspoon, the Falcons defensive captain and leader was put on short-term injured reserve and missed two months with a foot injury. Linebackers Stephen Nicholas and Akeem Dent also missed time. All together, 11 out of 22 starters missed time with injuries. That's exactly half of the starting the lineup. It's no wonder why Atlanta struggled to compete at times.
Coaching: Mike Smith entered his sixth season as the Falcons head coach and looked to build on a strong 2012. Unfortunately, he had one of his worst seasons as the head coach in Atlanta. Looking back, hindsight is always 20/20, but he clearly made some outright bad decisions in 2013. He should've chosen to rest Roddy White after his high ankle sprain in the preseason rather than having him play not near 100%. It only prolonged his recovery and kept healthy guys like Harry Douglas and Drew Davis from making more of an impact. Smith also waited too long to bench struggling starters. Why did it take so long to replace Konz with Joe Hawley? Right guard Garrett Reynolds was awful but wasn't replaced until after Konz was benched. Saftey Thomas DeCoud, a train-wreck all season long, was only taken out of the starting lineup because of injury. Many fans also wondered why electric running back Antone Smith wasn't getting more touches. Coach Smith made questionable decisions throughout the year. He must get better in those situations if he wants to remain in Atlanta going forward. After this disaster of a season, he's got to be on a short leash with owner Arthur Blank.
Positives: The silver lining in a down year is always the development of young players. First-round pick Desmond Trufant had an outstanding year with 2 interceptions and 17 pass deflections. Trufant was named the Pro Football Focus defensive rookie of the year as well as being named to the All-Rookie teams of ESPN, Pro Football Writers of America, and NFL.com. Undrafted rookie free agent linebacker Paul Worrilow exploded onto the scene and led the team with 127 tackles while starting less than a full season. Other young players to emerge were cornerback Robert Alford, linebacker Joplo Bartu, defensive ends Jonathan Massaquoi and Malliciah Goodman, tackle Ryan Schraeder, and receiver Darius Johnson. If some of these young players can take the next step and become solid starters in the future, Atlanta's talent level will be off the charts; they've just got to put it all together on the field.
All in all, 2013 was not what any of us expected, but with many lessons learned by the coaching staff and front office, this past season could have been the wake up call that was needed to take the next step in winning a Super Bowl.
Up next: Player grades and season analysis for every 2013 Atlanta Falcon.

By Stephanie Springer - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - An Albany woman speaks out about a case of stolen identity. Someone racked up thousands of dollars in bills using her name and she has had enough. She wants to help protect you.
Identity theft is often referred to as the fastest growing crime in America. Last year close to 10 million victims were reported according to a Federal Trade Commission Survey.
Every time a new month rolls around, Courtney Lovett has to deal with another bill collector call.
She says the calls started in June after she gave her personal information to a dealer at an Albany car lot, so he could run a credit check.
"I gave him my ID, my social security number, my address, I had to give up all that information," said Lovett.
And ever since, she says gets bills for things she didn't buy.
"They bought laptops they bought computers they got sprint phones they went to Belks and got jewelry they went to reeves jewelry," said Lovett.
Lovett says someone stole her identity and opened credit cards in her name, using a fake ID and a false address.
"You are dealing with these major big time businesses at the same time you wouldn't think they would do anything like that with your information," said Lovett.
And so far the thieves have charged more than 10,000 dollars in her name.
"I just want justice served they need to go to jail they need to go to jail," said Lovett.
Lovett says now, she tries not to make any purchases, and if she does she pays cash.
"I don't deal with credit, I have closed any existing cards that I have," said Lovett.
In the meantime, Lovett has investigator working on her case, and is even trying to do a little investigating on her own.
She says she wont be satisfied until whoever is responsible, pays up and takes ownership for what they've done.
The Federal Trade Commission advises that you place a fraud alert on credit reports and constantly check your credit report to see if there is any unusual activity. Also file a report with the Federal Trade Commission and your local police department right a way.

We will be running a tuck shop on Saturday this week and we are running low on crisps and sweets. We managed to sell out all of our chocolate bars on Sunday.
If anybody can help us with these then that would be gratefully appreciated.

The need for a college education is more important than ever, but the barriers to obtaining a degree continue to mount as a result of rising tuition costs and dramatic declines in state support for higher education. With all eyes on college affordability, the Delta Cost Project at American Institutes for Research (AIR) makes a unique contribution to the dialogue by focusing on how colleges spend their money. We believe college spending can be contained without sacrificing access or education quality.
The Delta Cost Project provides policymakers, higher education administrators, and the general public with analyses and resources to deepen understanding of what colleges do with their money. Our team focuses on four key questions:
- Where does the money come from?
- Where does the money go?
- What are tuitions paying for?
- What is the relationship between spending and outcomes?
The answers to these questions provide insight into the challenges and opportunities we face as we strive to improve higher education affordability and accessibility in the United States.
In January 2012, AIR took over the analytic work of the Delta Cost Project. The National Center for Education Statistics is maintaining the Delta Cost Project's database as part of its Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). IPEDS conducts annual surveys gathering information from every college, university, and technical and vocational institution that participates in the federal student financial aid programs.

Richard Bradley: I'm looking forward to a great year with KCMG!

I'm looking forward to a great year with KCMG
I started racing when I was 8 after my dad took me karting for my birthday. He used to race historic cars and I used to go with him to watch so there was always an interest. It expanded from there and I graduated to national club races in England for 2000 and 2001, before in 2002 I made my break into British Championship competition. This is the first... [Read more...]

The first race of the Rallycross Season was 21st October 2012. I was excited, and the track conditions weren't too bad with small patches of rain, but a blue sky. The car was sitting there waiting for me, and it was ready for a serious battle. The Juniors had two practice sessions, just to get back in the saddle, and the first heat went well as I...

The offseason officially began today. We completed a three day test at Jerez this week and fortunately we got sunshine throughout.

Ah the Baylor Bears. The team I once hung 120 on in NCAA Football 2005 with an offense that featured an early version of the Wildcat (I'm a visionary!) with Charles Gordon at QB. The Big 12's favorite whipping boy (in football at least). KU is going to beat Baylor this weekend. Why? Because Baylor sucks. Always have and always will. Much more than we do even (thats kind of sad). Lets dive in.
Everyone keeps saying "this will be a tough test for KU because its on the road." On the road? Going to Norman is playing "on the road." This is going to Waco Texas. Check out Baylor's eye-popping attendance numbers:
2004: 30,856 (wow)
2005: 38,899 (almost got to 40,000!)
2006: 37,080
2007: 34,378
2008: 34,124
2009: 34,693
I'm willing to bet some of these numbers (or all of them) are inflated by opposing team's fans traveling to the game. Then again, who would want to travel to Waco?
Tee hee. Look at the bear go pee pee!
Slow down Grad. Baylor has some die-hard fans. Look at this guy!
When he isn't pretending to be a statue on the streets of Paris, this party animal takes it all in at a Baylor game. Look at those crowded stands behind him too. You can tell he is having a lot of fun watching the 69-0 beatdown Oklahoma is laying on his team with mom and dad in the stands. "BRIAN SMILE! WAVE! YOU LOOK SO CUTE!"
So KU is not up against some terrorizing crowd. Southern Mississippi already gave them their biggest and baddest road environment. We will probably encounter more opposing fans at home against KState next week.
Speaking of Baylor and not being good, try going to http://www.baylorsucks.com/. The guy who ran this site felt so bad for the Bears that he took down his site and quoted Ghandi. Geez. KU is one of the most hated schools in the Big 12 and I like it that way. Why? People are jealous of our success (KState fans nod their heads while vicously crying and attacking a Cole Aldrich poster), our good looking women (which, remember, helped us beat Georgia Tech) and our awesome blog. Baylor is so sad that...well...you just don't hate them. You just feel bad for them.
Also, check out the Baylor Sucks facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2200257497 It has a whooping 24 members. LOOK OUT! The author of the page asks "Theres a lot of UT and A&M haters out there, but are there any Baylor haters? REPRESENT" Wow dude you are so cool. It was made by Texas Tech people too...
There you have it. KU is going to roll into town and win. After I found the Achilles Heel in Georgia Tech, I have done so again with the Baylor Bears. I'm confident we will roll into mighty Waco and win this one. Spoken

With the Tulsa Drillers owning first place in the Texas League North standings, perhaps it's only fitting that the Drillers also own the most players on the Texas League North roster in the upcoming U.S. Cellular Texas League All-Star Game.
Included in those Drillers receiving All-Star honors is Colorado's top farm prospect, Nolan Arenado, who will start the All-Star Game at third base. He is currently hitting .291 with 6 homers and 35 RBIs.

Last night (Sat., Nov. 12, 2011) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, two old foes renewed their rivalry when Manny Pacquiao stepped back in the ring against Juan Manuel Marquez.
12 rounds and 36 minutes of back and forth action later, it seemed as though a clear winner may not have been determined. Sure enough, the first judges scorecard read 114-114. A draw felt fitting, considering how hard Marquez battled, despite his declining speed and advanced age, and how much heart Pacquiao showed to fight through the adversity of battling a man who seemed to have his number.
Then the final two scores were read: 115-113 and 116-112, both in favor of "Pacman." The fighting pride of the Philippines and arguably the pound-for-pound greatest in the world had done it again.
Or had he?
Immediately after the decision was read and Pacquiao declared the winner, social media sites lit up like a Christmas tree. An overwhelming amount of support was shown for Marquez, who was visibly distraught at the decision and even later said he would contemplate retirement.
A pair of mixed martial arts fighters, Dan Henderson and Miguel Torres, clearly expressed their collective displeasure, the latter far more aggressively than the former.
First, Henderson:
"Boxing is disgusting. Marquez was absolutely robbed."
Then, the far more animated and emotional Torres:
"Never witnessed a worst robbery in all my life & Bob Arum you can suck my brown (expletive). Tonight boxing died for me."
In fairness, plenty of pundits and fans believed Pacquiao was the rightful winner and the judges scored the fight correctly. However, the Marquez supporters were far more vocal in their displeasure. There seems to be a general consensus among them that it was more important to preserve a potential Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather fight than award Marquez his rightful victory last night.
There are also more than a few who feel as though it was such a close fight that it literally could have gone either way. A score for Pacquiao would have been good but a score for Marquez would have been as well.
That brings me to you, Maniacs. Surely you caught the fight (who didn't?) and have drawn your own conclusions. Now it's your turn to weigh in. Cast your vote in our poll (after the jump) and leave a comment explaining your decision.
For complete results and recap of the Pacquiao vs. Marquez fight, as well as all the other action on the card from Las Vegas, click here and here.
Did you think Marquez got robbed? Or was "Pacman" the winner?

The information below was provided by the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Hunger Task Force.
Our neighbors in need of food this holiday season will be the beneficiaries of a food drive taking place on Saturday, Nov. 17 and Sunday, Nov. 18 at four local food markets. The food drive is sponsored by the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Hunger Task Force (a.k.a the Food Pantry) in partnership with the United Way.
Donations of non-perishable food will be accepted at Stop & Shop on Boston Post Road in Larchmont; A & P on Mamaroneck Avenue in Mamaroneck; Mrs. Green's on Boston Post Road in Larchmont and ShopRite on Palmer Avenue in New Rochelle. Food drive hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. both days.
The need for food assistance in Larchmont and Mamaroneck remains high, explained Melinda Lehman, president of the Food Pantry.
"Every time we give out groceries, we feed 1,200-1,300 people, 1/3 of whom are children. New families register with us every time we are open. With the colder weather, we are already seeing an increase in the number of families needing our help, and we expect to see this need rise during the holidays."
"Although there is a great need for help, we live in a caring, cohesive community where we look out for one another and give assistance where help is needed," she added. "This food drive is a wonderful example of neighbor helping neighbor."
All of the food collected at the food drive will be given directly to people living in Larchmont and Mamaroneck.
Volunteers are needed at each of the four food markets from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p..m. on Nov. 17 and 18 to collect, sort and load food, and from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. to load the food that has been collected into trucks. Volunteers are also needed on Monday, Nov. 19 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Community Action Program (CAP) Center, 134 Center Ave., Mamaroneck, to unload the trucks and sort the collected food. To volunteer to support the food drive, please contact the volunteer coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com or 914-698-3558.
The Larchmont Mamaroneck Hunger Task Force is an all-volunteer coalition of community organizations, houses of worship and concerned citizens dedicated to assisting families living in Larchmont and Mamaroneck who need food. It runs a food pantry that distributes a nutritional bag of groceries providing four days of meals, twice a month.
