If you don't then your considered a ducker. If you do and then you lose your considered no good. To please the fans and the media must be confusing as hell.
Being a professional boxer must be very confusing. The fans and media want you to fight the best available opponents.
I bring this point up because Lucian Bute is getting praised heaped upon him. While Kelly Pavlik is considered done after his last loss. Of course the backing of HBO has helped Bute.
Pavlik falls into the fighting top opponents and losing. Bute falls into fighting less than stellar opponents and winning. Bute seems to get a pass because the best are fighting in the Super Six.
Well my problem is that Bute could of fought any of them before but did not. Bute has had a title since 2007 but has made no effort to fight the top super middleweights.
He beat Sakio Bika to put himself into position to fight for the IBF title. He then beat Alejandro Berrio to win the title.
Since winning the title he has not made one defense against a top 10 opponent. Beating William Joppy, Edison Miranda and Fulgencio Zuniga are not good defenses at all.
Joppy was about 500 years old when they fought. Zuniga and Miranda are both big punchers but they are not top 10 fighters and had little chance of beating Bute.
His best defenses were against Librado Andrade. He "won" the first fight and knocked out Andrade in the second fight. When Andrade is your best defense that is pathetic.
He is very tough but very limited. If the first fight wasn't in Montreal he would have lost the title and his 0. Bute is very talented but he is not the No. 1 super middleweight.
I give Andre Ward, Andre Dirrell, Mikkel Kessler, Arthur Abraham, and Carl Froch a chance against him. Froch is the one that I would be worried about but he is super tough and finds a way to win.
Now when you look at Kelly Pavlik everyone is convinced he is done. All he has done is won the middleweight title and fought the best available opponents.
He did have his Gary Lockett, Marc Antonio Rubio, and Miguel Espino fights. Those fights are inexcusable. Other than those fights he has fought top opponents since 2007.
He beat Edison Miranda to gain a shot at the middleweight title. You may say why is this a good win for Pavlik and not Bute. When Pavlik fought him he was on a tear and many people believe Pavlik just beat the fight out of him.
He then beat a prime Jermain Taylor to win the title. He then beat him again in his next fight. He lost to Bernard Hopkins and Sergio Martinez in his other big time fights.
The loss to Hopkins was totally unexpected. Although Pavlik knew he had trouble with slick boxers like Hopkins he signed to fight Martinez.
He didn't duck him. He could of fought Paul Williams or a lesser middleweight champion. He knew Martinez had a style he had trouble with and took it anyway.
The loss to Martinez shouldn't spell the end of Pavlik. He does it old school. He fights anyone and he doesn't worry about how his style matches up.
Also after the loss Pavlik did not give any excuses. He owned up to what happend and said he would like to fight Martinez again.
People shouldn't be jumping off the Pavlik bandwagon and onto the Bute bandwagon. I will stay with the fighter who doesn't handpick opponents so he can look good

The San Diego Chargers are still interested in adding more help on the defensive line and have had their eyes on former Denver Broncos DE Justin Bannan. He has been on the Chargers radar for a little bit now and he is currently in Detroit taking a physical.
Bannan specializes in stopping the run and is an 11-year veteran. There is not a lot of experience for the Chargers at the position. We have our starters and next in the depth chart are a bunch of undrafted free agents. We do have former Green Bay Packers DE Jarius Wynn as a possible veteran competing for a roster spot.
We will keep an eye on the progress of Bannan in Detroit. The signing wouldn't blow anyone away, but it is depth that can compete for a roster spot.

How would you envision a better bus stop shelter? The Seeking Shelter Youth Design Challenge is a project that invites youth to creatively re-imagine these public spaces. With the aim of encouraging community interaction and addressing environmental impact, students were challenged to design a new bus shelter that would better fill community needs.

Using cardboard and freeware tools, students assemble structures in physical and virtual spaces to explore their ideas. Through the website, teachers are engaging their students in a dialog about community and environment. The project culminates in two contests: a November contest for the conceptual cardboard model designs and a December contest for the refined designs created in SketchUp.
The project launched with a conceptual bus stop shelter installation in September at the ZERO1 Art & Technology Biennial in San Jose, CA. The installation aimed bring people together in playful experimentation as they add components to the full scale model, record audio in SoundCloud and make their own small models and share them on Instagram. Locally, the Seeking Shelter project attempts to anchor Silicon Valley with a sense of place through the re-envisioning of a community resting and gathering hub.

The sister of my husband moved to a new home. In the garage we found this old kitchen closet ( we took the doors out). She gave it to us and we painted it white and now we have a beautiful vintage kitchen closet for all my favorite plates.On the backside of the closet was written "Made in Finland". Afcourse! The little flower china mug and the soup-cups we bought yesterday at the Wintersale.

Free tax help offered in Fair Lawn to local seniors
Fair Lawn - The tax-aide program, sponsored by AARP, will again be available in 2013 for senior citizens and others with low to moderate income. This community service offers free tax preparation, including federal and State of New Jersey returns.
This is an all-volunteer program and the volunteers have been trained and certified to prepare tax returns.
"The importance of this program is that we are able to help seniors and other low to moderate income people in our communities by answering their tax questions and preparing their tax returns, both state and federal. We have six locations throughout Bergen County conveniently located at either public libraries or senior centers," explained Bruce Belowich, Bergen County recruiting and publicity coordinator for AARP Tax-Aide.
The tax preparation sites will open beginning Feb. 7 until April 13.
"The deadline for filing 2012 tax returns is April 15. However, we are also able to request an extension if necessary," said Belowich.
Sites in Bergen County are:
Midland Park Regional Senior Center, 46 Center St., Midland Park, 201-445-5690
Fair Lawn Library, 10-01 Fair Lawn Ave., Fair Lawn, 201-796-3400
Wayne Library, 1006 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne, 973-694-7110
Westwood Riley House, 100 Madison Av., Westwood, 201-666-0840
New Milford Library, 200 Dahlia Drive, New Milford, 201-262-1221
Mahwah Town Hall/Senior Center, 475 Corporate Drive, Mahwah, 201-529-5757
All are invited to any site. Residents should bring with them their social security card, last year's tax returns and all documents related to the 2012 tax year, including medical expenses.
"There is no charge for either the tax preparation or the filing of the tax returns. All tax returns are filed electronically to the IRS and a client is given a complete copy to take home with them," Belowich said.
For information on the sites, contact AARP at www.aarp.org/taxaide or call 1-888-AARPNOW (1-888-227-7669). Residents can also email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Erudit DLX 40x-1000x
Microscope for the demanding beginner
The Bresser Erudit DLX positions itself as a high-quality, robust and good equipped microscope for school, studies and hobby use. A rechargeable battery, which is integrated in the solid microscope base, enables the Erudit DLX to function also in mobile use.
The transmitted light illumination of Erudit DLX is performed by a LED with dimmer (for continous variation of light intensity) and a height-adjustable condenser (with iris diaphragm and filter holder). This allows to the instrument to have not only the 4x, 10x and 40x objective, also the 100x objective. These all are DIN objectives. The 40x and the 100x objective are retractable (saveguarding against damages). With the 10x wide field eyepiece, you get a total magnification range 40x-1000x. The microscope has a 360° rotatable monocular viewing, coaxial coarse and fine focusing drive, and a mechanical desk with vernier scales.
With meaningful accessories, which are available on request, you can build up your microscope to a more and more powerful system. Above all, we recommend the BRESSER MicrOcular II (640 x 480 pixels). With this electronic eyepiece, you can observe your preparations on your PC monitor. The software enables you to save and replay your microscope observations.

Ruby Memorial Hospital was "made in the 80's" and this years Employee Appreciation Picnic proved it. The event was held on the 25th anniversary of the hospital's opening.
Employees that have been working at the hospital since its opening in 1983 said it was hard to believe.
"I remember us going into the building when it was just a shell and preparing," said Mary Fanning, a 30-year employee of WVU Hospitals and the Director of Nursing Administrations at Ruby Memorial Hospital. "I worked in the ICU at the time and we were designing our rooms. And then to have moved patients over and been there as a nurse all these years, it's just really amazing."
Different departments set up booths, complete with 80s themes, food, and live music.
Ruby Memorial Hospital was all made possible by the first donation from Hazel Ruby McQuain.
"She paid for about 10 percent of the cost for the original construction of Ruby," said Bruce McClymonds, the president of WVU Hospitals. "Back then it was by far the largest gift ever given by anybody to any non profit before in the state. It sort of kick started the whole process, I think that's worth remembering."
Employees remember the very beginning of their move and how things have changed; especially technology.
"When we moved we were using walkie talkies and today I'm sure we'd be using cell phones and texting," Fanning said. "The way we document our patient care, and just all the opportunities we have for our patients here. It's just wonderful."
The hospital is planning several events through out the fall to celebrate the 25th anniversary.

text: "A 45-year-old Florida woman who said she called 9-1-1 because she 'ate too much food' was arrested following an encounter at a hotel, according to a recently released affidavit. A St. Lucie County Sheriff's deputy on Dec. 18 went to the Traveler's Inn motel in Fort Pierce, Florida and saw a woman "jumping up and down and yelling in room #108." A man walked out and said the woman was his girlfriend, Mary Ellen Lisee. He said Lisee wouldn't stop talking and that he was leaving so he could sleep in peace. When Lisee, who appeared intoxicated and smelled of booze, came out of the room, she started yelling, "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?" Lisee said she called 9-1-1 but said there wasn't a reason for a deputy to be there. Asked how authorities could help, Lisee started laughing, saying she called because she 'ate too much.' Queried again why she dialed 9-1-1, Lisee said, "Because I ate too much food." w/ photo

I just saw this on Engadget (the former Bell Labs' research space is going to be torn down). I agree with them that it'd be a shame to lose a historic site like this to the wrecking ball.
But, progress moves on. Things get torn down all the time that are historic.
I remember the day when they tore down the R. Cali Brothers' grainery and feed store to make room for Apple Computer. That was sad (I bought feed there for my chicken, it was about a mile from my house and was a part from my childhood).
What's even worse is I can't find photos of that grainery in Google.

NBA Weekly Recap: Week 10
The week started off with a bang. The Celtics vs. Knicks game had a heated confrontation between Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Garnett. But the conversation did not stop there on the court; Anthony was waiting outside by the Celtics bus. The league decided to suspend Anthony for one game this week. Garnett is known for his trash talking and this time he crossed the line with Anthony. This was the first meeting of the season for these divisional foes and it should amp up their future matchups this season.
This week also brought the second coaching casualty of the season with the firing of Milwaukee Bucks' head coach, Scott Skiles. The Bucks currently have a winning record and have the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference standings. The Bucks have decided to name Jim Boylan the interim head coach for the remainder of the season. The Bucks are a young team and this move does come at a surprise but it was a mutual decision on both sides.
The Nets are now 8-2 since the firing of Avery Johnson and they have moved back into the top 4 of the Eastern Conference. P.J. Carlisemo has lead this team in a revival of their season and with the team's recent success, it could land him the head coaching job for the remainder of the season. The Nets have three games this week against the Raptors and the Hawks twice. A big win yesterday against the Pacers supports their improvement efforts and should be motivation for the season's course.
There are some teams that are improving as the season rolls on and those teams are the Portland Trailblazers and Denver Nuggets. The Trailblazers are a young team with eight players in their rookie or second year. The NBA's best rookie so far is Damian Lillard and he is guiding his team to a stellar 7-3 record in the last 10 games returning Portland to a playoff contending team. The Trailblazers' veterans have played a big part in their recent success, like Nicolas Batum and LaMarcus Aldridge. The Nuggets are winners of five straight games and are moving up in the standings in the Western Conference. The Nuggets are 8-2 in their last 10 games with wins over the Clippers, Warriors and Lakers twice. The Nuggets have the right combination of talent and will be a team that no one wants to play in the playoffs. The Nuggets will have a string of big games this week; they play the Trailblazers and the Thunder twice. They have an opportunity to gain ground on the five teams ahead of them in the Western Conference with their schedule this week.
A team to watch is the Detroit Pistons, who are just three games out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons are 7-3 in their last 10 games with wins over the Heat, Hawks and Bucks twice, all playoff contending teams. The Pistons have developed a great rotation with their bench players which includes improved play by Will Bynum and Charlie Villanueva. Also, the development of 1st round draft pick Andre Drummond has those in the Motor City encouraged with this proud franchise's future. Greg Monroe leads the Pistons in scoring and rebounding and has made a case for his first All-Star selection in his third season. The Pistons have a chance to gain ground in the standings with games this week against the Knicks and Celtics.

A hit-and-run driver slammed into a light pole west of the Las Vegas Strip, causing traffic to slow, police said Tuesday.
Las Vegas Metro police reported the incident just before 6 a.m. near W. Tropicana Avenue and Dean Martin Drive.
Police said the driver appeared to have fled on foot after the vehicle slammed into a light pole and knocked it over. The vehicle remained on scene, police noted.
Metro said several surrounding traffic lights and light poles were also inoperable following the incident.
Clark County engineers were dispatched to clean up the damage and work on the light pole. There was no word on when lights will be back to full operation.
FOX5 Traffic Anchor Chris Brown suggested motorists take Flamingo Road as an alternate route around the crash area.

News: Lupe Fiasco Gleamin' & Beamin' Over "Lasers" No. 1 Debut, "I Put It In They Face"
Wednesday, Mar 16, 2011 6:01PM
Grammy-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco has provided his reaction to stomping his competition by debuting number one and selling over 200,000 copies of his new album, Lasers.
Writing on his Twitter page, Fiasco expressed his post-album release excitement.
"Thank You #Lasers #1," he tweeted Wednesday (March 16).
"shout 2 all the dj's, who gave a n*gga replays, @fakeshoredrive @rapradar & the whole internet space, U put it online I put it in they face,"
"and there it will remain, for atleast another week, right at number 1, hahaha yeah nigguh, stay strong Japan, Nate Dogg REST IN PEACE!!!" (Lupe Fiasco's Twitter)
In just seven days, Lupe's album sold over 200,000 copies.
Leading the pack this week is Lupe Fiasco's Lasers which topped the chart at No. 1. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Lupe's long-awaited third solo album sold 204,300 records in seven days. (SOHH Sales Wrap)
Initial estimates predicted the album selling up to 240,000 records in its first week.
It's Lupe Fiasco time. The Chicago-born rapper--real name Wasalu Muhammad Jaco--arrives with his third Atlantic Records studio album, Lasers, which will debut at #1 next week with between 220-240k in sales, the second biggest of the year next to Adele and the best start of his career. (HITS Daily Double)
While the new LP continues to generate sales, Fiasco is already hard at work on his next project.
"There's no attempt to get on the radio, except maybe once, thus far, it's still a work in progress," Fiasco promised in an interview. "It's a harder album -- the beats are way harder. It's not about being progressive. It's not about making music, which is weird [to say]. It's 'let's make some really hard-a** songs.'" (MTV)
Check out some recent Lupe Fiasco footage down below:

From Jesper Olsen in 1984 to Anders Lindegaard in 2013, Scandinavians have served us well - there were no fewer than six, for example, in the Treble-winning squad of 1999. Here we recall the nine Nordic stars who established them as regular members of United's first-team set-up, starting with the Swedish contingent.
Henrik Larsson: A surprise loan signing who could not be persuaded to extend his stint with the Reds. A strike on his debut against Aston Villa in the FA Cup showed he'd lost none of his attacking instincts at the age of 35 and he finished the spell with three goals from 13 games.
Jesper Blomqvist: A display that tormented David May and helped dump United out of the European Cup first alerted Sir Alex to the IFK Gothenburg winger's talents. Although he was in the 1999 Champions League final line-up on the left flank,

Sofia Vergara tops Forbes' list of TV's highest paid womenSaturday, July 21, 2012
Sofia Vergara has been named the highest earning woman on TV — just three years after landing her first major series. The Modern Family star beat reality star Kim Kardashian to top Forbes magazine's list of TV's highest paid stars. Colombian born Vergara, 40, earned $19 million in 2011 while Kardashian took in $18 million. The majority of Vergara's bumper pay day came from her business deals rather than her role as Latino mother Gloria on the award-winning show where she earns an estimated $100,000 an episode. While Modern Family brings in over $1 million a year Vergara scores with a clothing deal at Kmart and other lucrative endorsements, including deals with Pepsi and Burger King. She also has her own production company and has landed roles in several Hollywood films, including New Year's Eve. Vergara's rise to the top of the pay list has been nothing short of meteoric, having landed her first major series in Modern Family in 2009. Until that role she had been a bit part actress appearing in several TV shows, including Baywatch. As the Queen of TV Reality series, 31-year-old Kim Kardashian has used her fame to promote her clothing line as well as perfume that brought in $6 million, according to Forbes. Even a marriage that lasted less than three months has failed to dent her popularity and she has appeared on the cover of 63 magazines in the last 12 months. The series Keeping up with the Kardashians is worth $10 million a year. Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria is third on the Forbes List with $15 million a year. She was paid $375,000 an episode for the final series of Housewives and has lucrative deals with Pepsi and L'Oreal.

Beyoncé reveals new blonde braids on day out with Blue Ivy
She rocked blonde braids during her Destiny's Child days and Beyoncé Knowles has now decided to revisit the look. The singer, who has favoured soft waves in recent times, debuted her newly plaited light locks while on a shopping trip to Bergdorf Goodman in Manhattan last Wednesday. The 30-year-old, who was dressed in a patterned play-suit, twisted her tresses into a big bun on top of her head and finished off her look with big hoop earrings. She had daughter Blue Ivy cradled in her arms during the outing and the six-month-old has quite the head of hair too. The curly-haired cutie was stylishly dressed in pink pants and a floral top and onlookers were treated to a glimpse of her beautiful face as the pair browsed through the department store. Beyoncé and rapper husband Jay-Z welcomed their first child in January this year.

Hoping for a CK campaign? Mario Balotelli shows off his physique
He is believed to be on around £120,000 a week for his services to Manchester City, but it looks like Mario Balotelli is trying to launch himself a new career. The temperamental striker lapped up the sunshine and the attention from the ladies as he strutted around in just his briefs. The 21-year-old striker walked around outside his apartment in Ibiza, Spain, wearing a pair of tight purple underpants as he showed off his toned torso. The famously sulky footballer is never normally modest or shy, but he made sure he was adequately covered before leaving his apartment. The Italian international pulled on a pair of white Hollister beach shorts before deciding to slip out of the purple pants in favour of something more fashionable. Super Mario completed the next phase of his modelling aspirations by donning a pair of Emporio Armani boxer trunks, exactly like David Beckham once wore.

Query Details
|Query Subject:
SLA/FLA of English Suprasegmentals (intonation)
|Tanja Angelovska
|Submitter Email:
|click here to access email
|Linguistic LingField(s):
Applied Linguistics
Language Acquisition
Dear all,
I was wondering if anyone of you can share any ideas about the topic:
literature and sharing contacts of colleagues working on second/foreign
language acquisition of suprasegmentals, in particular intonation. I am
writing my PhD thesis at the University of Munich and my main research
question is how can the different proficiency of near-native accent of
adult second language learners be explained with focus on intonation.
As far as I am informed, the area of segmentals has been far more
researched than the one about acquiring (in the case of immigrants) or
learning (in the case of foreign language learners) of the suprasegmentals.
I would be extremely happy if you inform me about some person(s) who
has/have the same research interests (or if you are one of them) so that we
can exchange ideas (or maybe I can find an additional supervisor from abroad).
Also, I was wondering about what kind of software you use in order to
transcribe intonation. I have heard about PRAAT and looked at their home
page. After installing the program, it seems to me too complicated, so I am
not quite sure about which parameters exactly are used for transcribing and
analyzing intonation.
I would be grateful for any input or information that can help me.
Thank you in advance
Kind regards
Tanja Angelovska M.A.

Stallworth's Impact Bigger Than NumbersPosted by on March 22, 2012 – 2:56 pm
Reports surfaced two days ago that free agent receiver Donte' Stallworth had agreed to terms with his former team, the New England Patriots, to return for the 2012 season. Stallworth spent the 2011 season with the Redskins, his sixth team in as many seasons.
Stallworth was a serviceable receiver with the Redskins, making several spectacular catches, including a touchdown in the game against Dallas. He had his best game of the year against the Patriots, burning his former teammates for 96 yards through the air.
But Stallworth's finest hour in Washington was not on the field, and can't be seen in the highlight reels. His lasting impact on this franchise will be his influence on the players that constitute the youth movement in Washington.
When Stallworth came to Washington in August, he promised to provide the fabled 'veteran leadership' that many claim but few can provide. His locker was positioned near the door, and players would chat with him on their way in and out of the locker room.
His most-profound impact was likely on rookie receivers Niles Paul and Leonard Hankerson, as well as fellow Bay Area-native DeJon Gomes. Whether it was showing these players how to practice on the field, or how to act off of it, each of these three rookies blossomed into solid contributors for the team in 2011.
As a well-known free agent receiver, I knew Donte' The Player before he joined the team. But there were a few moments during the season when I realized what a professional he truly was.
Going into the final preseason game against the Buccaneers, Stallworth was perched firmly on the bubble, in terms of earning his spot on the final roster. He played quality minutes, but got only dink-and-dunk passes for 7 yards-per-catch. As the minutes waned down in the game, it appeared that his brief time in Washington may be as well.
But with 1:14 to go and the Redskins trailing by one, Kellen Clemens dropped back and found Stallworth streaking down the field. Stallworth was blanketed by the coverage, but hauled in the 41-yard bomb for the game-winning touchdown.
Following the game, Stallworth praised his teammates and thanked the organization for the opportunity he had been given. He said he was hoping to make the team and would love to carry on in Washington, but sounded like a grizzled veteran who knew the numbers game.
He was elated when he made the team later that weekend.
Fast-forward two and a-half months to Week 9 against the 49ers at home. It was an all-around bad afternoon for Redskins not named Roy Helu, and Stallworth was cut that following Tuesday. The prolific tweeter handled the situation with dignity and class, while his former teammates offered their feelings:
@DonteStallworth I wish you all the best bro. Good luck!—
Adam Carriker (@BigPoppaPump94) November 08, 2011
@D_Gomes24 thanks DJ, means a lot. I just hope I wasn't talking too much lol. Keep ballin' out there—
Donte' Stallworth (@DonteStallworth) November 09, 2011
@DonteStallworth Naw not at all, I tried to soak all of it in that I could.—
DeJon Gomes (@D_Gomes24) November 09, 2011
Even when he was re-signed following the Dolphins game, he mentioned his regret that his return was keyed by a season-ending injury to rookie receiver Leonard Hankerson. With that being said, he was ready for another opportunity.
Stallworth finished the year with 22 receptions, 309 yards and two touchdowns through the air. He wore Redskins spandex in his workouts this offseason and frequently tweeted about his desire to win a Super Bowl ring before retirement.
In the Patriots, he joins a team that was only minutes away from winning one in 2011.
On his way to New England earlier this week, he took a few minutes to thanks his teammates, the Redskins organization, and most importantly, the fans:
I REALLY enjoyed my time with the #Redskins. Some of the best fans in the league, hands down. Thank you for welcoming me to your team.—
Donte' Stallworth (@DonteStallworth) March 21, 2012
Looking forward to watching the #Redskins this yr. Thanks to the whole organization for everything. Made a lot of friends there in Ashburn.—
Donte' Stallworth (@DonteStallworth) March 21, 2012
In return, he got a goodbye tweet from locker neighbor Niles Paul:
@DonteStallworth I'm going to miss you boss! I appreciate all your encouraging words & everything you taught me this past season.—
Niles Paul (@Niles_Paul) March 21, 2012
Congratulations on your next step Donte', and stay classy in New England.

Underrated: "I Just Remember Saying, 'Why Hasn't This Guy Caught His Break Yet?'"
Tuesday, Mar 5, 2013 12:05AM
[Each week, SOHH asks two entertainment personalities to name who they feel is the most underrated emcee in hip-hop. After Sadat X gave Kool G Rap the title last week, Jim Jonsin's production duo Finatik N Zac's Finatik crowns Termanology SOHH Underrated.]
Do you want to know who's really coming to my mind? It's a rapper named Termanology.
He's from Boston and he's done a lot of stuff with Statik Selektah and all of that, but I remember listening to his stuff about six or seven years ago while doing a radio show and I just remember saying, "Why hasn't this guy caught his break yet?"
He's been putting in so much work and I'm just a real big fan of that dude. To me, I don't know if I can say he's the most underrated, but he's one of the top ones that pops up into my mind.
I can probably name a few others but he's the one I'm going with.
He's been putting in work for so long and I know he did a crazy track with M.O.P. and I can't remember the name of it but I remember buying the vinyl and spinning it every week during my shows.
I would say he comes to mind.
Finatik N Zac are an Australian duo signed to producer Jim Jonsin's "Rebel Rock Entertainment". The duo consists of Michael "Finatik" Mule and Isaac "Zac" Deboni. By the time Finatik had reached eighteen, he had accomplished what most high school students had only dreamed of, and had acquainted himself with some of hip hop's biggest names such as DJ Premier, Method Man & Redman, Jurrasic 5, Black Eyed Peas, Mix Master Mike etc... During this time, Finatik continued to broaden his skills and decided that he wanted to be more involved in creating and developing the beats that he had become so used to playing on the decks weekly at resident nightclubs of up to 5,000 people all around Australia and Asia. Word spread fast that this popular young DJ had retired from battles and would be pursuing his production career. It was then that he was introduced to another Perth production heavyweight, Isaac Deboni, known as Zac, who had completed a diploma in audio engineering from the School of Audio Engineering (SAE) straight out of high school.

New Sandy rebuilding leader
The mayor is expected to appoint a former development official under former mayors Michael Bloomberg and Rudy Giuliani, to take over the city's Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts. Amy Peterson, president of Nontraditional Employment for Women, will likely lead the effort as well the Build It Back program, according to DNA info.
Ms. Peterson has 10 years of government experience holding roles as deputy director in the office of construction, deputy commissioner in the city Department of Design and Construction and project director in the city's Human Resources Administration. She was also a senior vice president at the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. The appointment comes as the city's Sandy efforts have been criticized.

Architecture graduate Stephan Sobl has designed an upside-down skyscraper to hang over the Colorado River in Nevada, right beside the Hoover Dam.
Entitled Vertical Strip, the conceptual tower would provide a casino, a hotel, a boxing ring and a concert hall, like the nearby Las Vegas Strip.
The lightweight carbon-fibre structure would be suspended from a concrete cantilever and supported by a spiralling metal shell.
Located between the dam and the bypass bridge, the tower would be accessible to both cars and pedestrians from the adjoining road.
Sobl developed the project whilst studying at the University of Applied Artsin Vienna.

Kruger-Rumpf ascending to new levels.
So, it's day 2 and anyone reading this little travelogue is probably already wondering if EVERY DAMNED WINERY is going have some amazing vintage that transcends all previous vintages, blah, blah, blah. I promise, this will not be so. However, at Kruger-Rumpf it is distinctly worth noting that the tides have turned. The wines here have always been good, this is known. However, the young Georg Rumpf has had the great opportunity of maintaing attentive and specific focus in the vineyards and the cellar of such a degree which his father simply did not have the freedom to maintain. The benefits of this come to us through intensive vineyard study and management and more individual parcel attention in the cellar. The dry wines of this estate especially stand out this year. And I'll refrain from individual tasting notes, et. al. and simply state that the refinement, pleasurability, and incredible terroir expression have not ever been so boundless as they are in this collection of wines.
Terry often gets accused of not liking dry German wines. And so far, the selections from the 2011 collections prove vastly otherwise. After 4 estates tasted (without yet heading to the Pfalz, mind you) approximately 2/3 of all wines selected for the forthcoming catalogs are decidedly dry. And to quote Terry himself, "this is the best collection I have ever tasted at Kruger-Rumpf" - and this is largely due to the extremely impressive dry wines collection here.
