The stars were out at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday night. There were bright lights, a red carpet, hundreds of fans in attendance seeking autographs or pictures. One would have thought that famous actors, rappers, or other celebrities were attending an awards show based on the electricity of the event and the crowd.
Instead, it was two of the biggest names in boxing today that drew an overwhelming crowd to the outdoor plaza, which is located right across the street from STAPLES Center.
Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz took different roads during their professional career, but they will step inside the ring on September 17th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Wednesday night was the final stop of a two-day press tour to announce their showdown in a few months' time. On Tuesday afternoon, both fighters and their respective camps were in New York City, holding court in front of the media and fight fans. For more details and photos click here…

Court denies Mayweather appeal
U.S. District Court Judge Larry R. Hicks denied the Emergency Appeal filed by Floyd Mayweather, Jr. for a protective order to prevent his court-ordered deposition, finding that Mayweather's motion was "without merit." Mayweather's deposition had been scheduled for June 17, 2011, in Las Vegas, Nev. Mayweather refused to appear. Judge Hicks' decision affirmed Magistrate Robert Johnston's order denying Mayweather's motion for a protective order to prevent his June 17 deposition. "Floyd Mayweather, Jr. still is refusing to show up for his deposition. He continues to defy the Court's Order," said Pacquiao's lawyer Daniel Petrocelli Mayweather is being sued by pound-for-pound champion and Congressman Manny Pacquiao based on Mayweather's defamatory statements accusing Pacquiao of taking performance-enhancing drugs.

Perez looking for a fight
By Matt Richardson
Unbeaten heavyweight Mike Perez is eager for a fight. Any fight, actually. "I only need to get the chance," Perez (16-0, 12 KOs) explained to Fightnews this week. "I need a chance. I know I'm one of the best heavyweights…I just need to prove it." Perez is fresh off an early May triumph in the International Prizefighter tournament in London in which he decisively won three fights in one night: a three-round unanimous decision against Kertson Manswell, a first round stoppage of Gregory Tony and another first round knockout against Tye Fields. "It was good," Perez said of the opportunity. "It was what we were looking for. It wasn't that hard. We were training hard and we were worried someone was going to pull out. But it wasn't harder than I expected." For more details and photos click here….

In Part 1, I looked at what could be behind Facebook's acquisition of WhatsApp and subsequent purchase of Oculus Rift. How are these seemingly different acquisitions related? There is no question that both Facebook and Google are in a race to build the next-generation computing/communications platform (after mobile) and the battle lines are being drawn between the over-the-top (OTT) players and telecommunications companies. After all, both Facebook and Google count on telcos to deliver services to their customer base. How will the WhatsApp and Oculus Rift acquisitions shape Facebook and impact the rest of the market including Google and mobile?
Facebook did not pay $19 billion for WhatsApp simply because it's an SMS replacement, a Skype and Twitter competitor, because it could grow its international subscriber base, or could attract customers among the coveted millennial demographic - although these reasons are icing on the cake. Facebook's WhatsApp acquisition was a shot across the bow to telcos: we will be masters of our own destiny and not be reliant on you to reach our customers. With the addition of voice calling to WhatsApp, this puts even more pressure on mobile providers who are already feeling the heat from WhatsApp, which has cost them billions in lost SMS revenue. Now, they have to worry about an even bigger impact on their bread and butter voice business if that follows a similar pricing pressure trajectory. With an already 450 million strong WhatsApp subscriber base added to Facebook's own customer base, Facebook has the ideal launch pad for the next-generation communications platform provided by Oculous Rift. While Facebook and Google have similar business (new subscribers and advertising revenue) and personal (secure a place in the history books) motivation that is driving both companies overall strategy, their approach is quite different.
Google Glass addresses the ubiquitous nature of communications, which started with the mobile phone. Google wants you to be able to communicate without taking your phone out and checking for messages, texting and more. In contrast, Facebook imagines a world where a computer has essentially removed you from the real world and placed you in a virtual world. While Glass enables users to text, receive messages, take pictures, record videos and chat, Oculus Rift provides users (remember that important Whatsapp subscriber base) with the opportunity to interact in a virtual online city. Think digital billboards, among other advertising opportunities. In a nutshell, the key distinction comes in the way these technologies are meant to be used: Google Glass wants to augment the real world by making technology and devices fade into the background, while Facebook wants to improve reality by eliminating it altogether. Google Glass thinks the real world is fine if you can speed it up and make it better with faster search and navigation - Oculus will put you in a room by yourself where you can communicate with people thousands of miles away, putting the real world out of your mind.
This difference in end goal is immediately apparent just in each product's design. Google Glass is slick and almost Apple-like in its appearance, and is convenient for everyday use, whereas Oculus Rift is bulky and is not likely to be worn outside. Google Glass may still look a little ridiculous for the time being if it's being worn in public, but nowhere near as ridiculous as Oculus - that is a virtual reality device only meant to be worn behind closed doors. Zuckerberg's comments on the acquisition provide additional support to the long-term Oculus play. "Strategically we want to start building the next major computing platform that will come after mobile. There are not many things that are candidates to be the next major computing platform. [This acquisition is a] long-term bet on the future of computing." He also views the technology as more than a device for video games, noting "Immersive virtual and augmented reality will become a part of people's everyday life."
So what can we conclude for Facebook's future? While gaming is a good place to start, there are many other future uses for virtual reality that can be imagined. With a growing developer community and partners, there is a myriad of applications that can be developed and monetized. With a user base of more than one billion and a growing and a shiny new virtual reality platform, Facebook might be ready for what's next. Imagine experiencing the FIFA World Cup, sharing adventures with friends or learning in a virtual world simply by putting your goggles on. This is Facebook, next generation. If it had to use its very deep pockets to acquire its way into this new world, so be it, but the social interaction with your online friends has the potential to become an addictive (and arguably scary) pastime.
Facebook and Google see the next generation computing/communications platform in a fundamentally different way. Glass makes your everyday life easier; the Rift enables you to escape it all together. Which approach will win remains to be seen, but what is a certainty is that we will see more ads along the way than anyone can possibly consume - just the way both companies planned it. They will see a new wave of revenue, but their motivations are now bigger. The money from ads ultimately fulfills much bigger ambitions. Whether that's simply a place in the history books or changing the world in a fundamental way, time will tell.
Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

When you create nail art, do you use nail polish, striper polish, or craft paint?
I use everything to do nail art, depending on the design. For example, if I'm doing marbelizing, I'll use nail polish. If I'm doing striping, I'll use acrylic craft paint and a striper brush. If I'm doing a character like a cat, I'll use acrylic craft paint. Basically, for most of the designs, acrylic craft paint will do the trick. And of course, colored acrylics! — Patricia Lopez of Studio 24 in Parral, Chihuahua, Mexico, won NAILS Mural Contest in 2008.

ICD-10 Coding Uncovers Higher Rate of Fatal Falls Among Seniors
"This calls attention to the fact that falls are an extremely important cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly, and now we're starting to see what the real numbers are. They are far and away the leading cause of death in the elderly."
The greatest increase, her research discovered, was a 698% increase in mortality coding under the category "other falls on the same level," falls that aren't as likely to result in injury as a fall down a flight of stairs, for example.
In 1999, the first year of ICD-10, only 1.6 people age 65 or older per 100,000 population were said to have died from a fall on the same level. But by 2007, that had jumped to 13 per 100,000.
These same-level falls, perhaps resulting after someone loses one's balance, occur more often in the elderly and don't result in injuries that are immediately life threatening.
Instead, they prompt a trip to the doctor or hospital, a diagnosis of a broken or fractured hip, and often complications from surgery or pneumonia weeks or months later. Before the switch to ICD-10 in 1999, Baker says, physicians signing death certificates were more likely to code such deaths as simply resulting from pneumonia or other complications, and ignore the fall that precipitated it weeks before.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
DonS (5/22/2012 at 1:54 PM)
As a non-supporter of ICD-10, I was very eager to learn of a benefit of the coding. This FALLS short (pun intended!) People fall and have complications of pnuemonia or surgery so the cause of death is FALL!? Why not make cause of death WALKING? The walking led to the fall which led to the pnuemonia. I realize that I dont have the full report, but anyone who uses this report to tout the benefits of ICD-10 is really grasping at straws!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Nobody happy after one gets away
This group capable, but has to show it
NEWARK, N.J. -- The Winnipeg Jets are in position to make some good things happen, but not if they continue to play as they have of late.
The Jets ended a four-game road trip Sunday with a 3-2 shootout loss to the New Jersey Devils and picked up a point in the doing. That resulted in five points out of a possible eight on the road swing for the Jets.
But no one was particularly happy in the Jets dressing room following the game, as they felt they'd let an opportunity slip away.
A regulation win over the Devils would have vaulted Winnipeg into eighth in the conference for the final playoff spot in the East. Instead, the Jets sit ninth today with 26 points and a 12-11-2 record.
"I would say we played one-and-a-half good games out of four, if I'm being honest. I didn't like our first game, I didn't like our third game and I only liked half of this game," said Jets captain Andrew Ladd.
Winnipeg now has 23 games left on the schedule and 14 of them are at home. They've hung around into the second half of the season and will define themselves as faders or closers over the final stretch.
Winnipeg was terrible on the road last season but have an 8-5-2 record away from home this season. The record at the MTS Centre, however, is troubling at 4-6-0.
"Our problem at home is we've been trying to do too much, and that's gotten us into trouble. On the road, we've had success keeping things simple," said Ladd.
Jets coach Claude Noel saw very little positives in his team's performance Sunday and wondered aloud about their slow start.
"How we start like that is unbelievable. We battled back to get a point, but they travelled while we sat here and rested. We didn't come out a little flat, we came out a lot flat," Noel said. "I didn't think we had a lot of good players. I thought we struggled in a lot of areas."
Noel did allow that Ondrej Pavelec was strong in goal and pointed to his and Al Montoya's play as why the Jets were able to scrape up points despite mostly poor play.
"We come out being 2-1-1, so it points to where our goaltending has been in these games," Noel said. "We can't expect to play that way as a group and get points. If we're going to be a team that's going to be above the line, we're going to have to get better performances."
Noel said the Jets' current play can't last if they want to take advantage of where they are in the standings.
"We have to decide how we're going to play this thing. We're going to have to play a lot better," he said. "Home is a place with great fan support and passion. We're going to have to take advantage of that."

Is 'Idol' Thinking About Life Without Jennifer Lopez?
Insiders believe that Jennifer Lopez's admission to the BBC that she's "on the fence" about returning to 'American Idol' next season is nothing more than a ploy for a pay hike ... However, 'Idol' is already discussing possible replacements should they not be able to entice J.Lo to return.
"Right now the star of 'American Idol' is Steven Tyler," an insider source tells me. "Everyone thought after Simon announced he was leaving that [Lopez] would fill the void. How wrong were they? It's all about Steven, who's already signed on for season 11.
Jennifer, who currently earns a reported $12 million for her one-year deal with 'Idol' -- a touch below the $35 mil Simon earned -- needs to ask herself how much her contribution to the show is really worth.
"'Idol' has resurrected her much-stalled music career," one music exec tells me, referring to 'On the Floor,' the singer's first radio hit in a while. "Likewise, 'Idol' didn't fall apart when Simon left and Jennifer has to get some of the credit for that. But let's also remember the show didn't increase in ratings and that is also thanks to J.Lo."
Jennifer told the BBC: "I loved 'Idol,' but I have a lot of other things happening, and it's going to come down to me making a choice of what I want to do for the next year ... We're not really at the breaking point of 'You have to make a decision right now!'"
Be careful, Jennifer, I'm being told the names Shania Twain and Shakira are already being mentioned in hopes of bringing in viewers!

Not since the 90's. But not a bad thought.
But someone like Sheryl Crow would give this show a lift. JLo, for sure, is dispensible. For my money I'd like to see one of the 'old gals' like Bette Midler or Gladys Knight who would tell it like it is and not sugar coat all those lame performance.

No fan of any of the judges but Jennifer was the only judge that was ok. Stephen Tyler was great on the audition shows but he was hopless when if came to the live shows. Jennifer came into her own.
The article is made up anyway because Shania has signed up to perform in Vegas for a whole year.Shakira has never had much success in the US. She has never had a number 1 hit. I think she had one top 10. Why would America hire her?
Idol ratings have been falling evey year. The ratings went up this year. The final attracted 30 million.
Anyway just had to quash this article lol.
- Wednesday 29 JuneBy kARL
Shakira was #1 with "hips don't lie", #6 with "whenever, wherever", #9 with "underneath your clothes", #11 with "she wolf".
Anyway, she's not probably the best option to replace J.Lo
- Thursday 30 JuneBy George9448
If you had any brains at all, you'd realize that be bringing in Shakira, they'd increase the viewing by bringing in more Hispanic people who might not ordinarily watch the show, just as bringing in Tyler brought in more people from a rock n roll context. More viewers means more money.

After JLO's hypocritical "judging" of Haley, she should be dismissed post haste. JLO was fine in the early auditions, but later came off as quite shallow and her bias was patently obvious.
I suggest someone like Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell or Sheryl Crow.
- Tuesday 28 JuneBy Phranque
Sheryl Crow would be a great idea. I hope they don't hire Shania because I'm not interested in anything she has to offer, dating back to her music.
- Thursday 30 JuneBy Dee Dee
That JUDGING of HALEY was the only true happening on that show. Haley has been handed her entire life obviously. The way she handled ANY feedback that didnt praise her was totally unprofessional and child like. She was a spoiled brat. She didnt start out too bad but as she got towards the end of the show she had her fits too often!!!!!!

In the 1800 Federal Census of Rutherford County, NC Henry and Joseph Dunham are enumerated on lines one and two, respectively, of page 160. Charles Durham and his son Richard are enumerated on lines 18 and 20, respectively. Dunhams also appear in the 1810 census of Rutherford County, but are gone by the time of the 1820 census. The Durham families continue in Rutherford Co.
Is Dunham a misspelling of Durham or is it correct as written? Is there any relationship between these Dunhams and these Durhams?

To the Editor: Unions not helping the middle class
Editor's note: The following is in response to the Aug. 25-31 Guest Column "Are all parachutes real?"
I read the guest column by Paula Coulahan (twice). There is a lot of "Oh, poor me!" whining…look at my sacrifices, look at my good intentions, look what they did to me, etc., etc. However, there is more.
Ms. Coulahan states that "it points to a trend, not just in Rockford and not just in education, to devalue unions and break their membership." That's rich! With the most pro-union president and Congress in recent memory? I don't think so.
She winds up by pointing out "the role of unions in preserving the middle class and protecting the disenfranchised."
I have no problem with the concept of unions generally, but to credit them with "preserving the middle class" is a bit of a stretch.
Anyway, since unions tend to vote heavily Democratic, I would opine that they are much more likely to destroy the middle class than preserve it.

Wright sits out practice with sprained left ankle
Updated: October 23, 2007, 7:01 PM ETAssociated Press
CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami quarterback Kyle Wright missed practice Tuesday because of injuries that knocked him out of the Hurricanes' win over Florida State last weekend.
Wright said he injured his left ankle and left knee in the second quarter of Miami's 37-29 victory.
"He'll be back next week," Miami coach Randy Shannon said after practice. "Give him a week or so. Right now it's an ankle sprain. We need to isolate it and get it ready. Hopefully, he'll be ready by Sunday."

By Michael Barone, Investor's Business Daily
Michael Barone
Presidents' State of the Union addresses are delivered in the chamber of the House of Representatives in the Capitol.
The classical majesty of this building where laws are made symbolizes the idea that we live under the rule of law.
Unfortunately, the 44th president is running an administration that too often seems to ignore the rule of law.
"We can't wait," Barack Obama took to saying after the Republicans captured a majority in the House and refused to pass laws he wanted.
He would act to get what he wanted regardless of law.
One example: his recess appointments in January 2012 of three members of the National Labor Relations Board and the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Last month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled unanimously the NLRB recess appointments were unconstitutional.
The decision, written by Judge David Sentelle, noted that the Constitution speaks of "the recess," not "a recess," and reasoned that it could only be referring to the recess between annual sessions of Congress.
Obama, like many presidents before him, interpreted the phrase as referring to any recess during which Congress is not in session. But he went one step further.
When Harry Reid became Senate majority leader in 2007, he started holding pro forma meetings of the Senate every three days and stating that the Senate was not in recess.
George W. Bush, who had made recess appointments before, stopped doing so.
Bush took the view that, since the Constitution says that each branch of Congress makes its own rules, the Senate was in session if the Senate said so.
Obama took the view that he would decide whether the Senate was in session. Who cares what the Constitution says?
Doing As He Pleases
As Sentelle pointed out, Obama's view would entitle the president to make a recess appointment any time the Senate broke for lunch. "This cannot be the law," the judge wrote.
Critics of his decision argue that under it, the recess appointment power would be vanishingly small.
But under Obama's view, the Senate's power to advise and consent could effectively vanish.
The Framers contemplated that the Congress would take long recesses (as for many years it did) and that it could take months for senators to return to Washington to act on appointments.
It's plausible that the Framers would have considered recess appointments unnecessary in an era of jet travel.
It's not plausible that they would have approved of getting rid of the Senate's power to vote on appointments altogether.
Meanwhile, decisions of the NLRB and the CFPB are in legal limbo, pending a Supreme Court decision.
Hundreds of thousands of people are affected and millions of dollars are at stake. There is a price for not observing the rule of law.
There are other examples. For several years, the Obama administration has refused to obey a law requiring the president's budget to be submitted on a certain date.
As Budget Director, Treasury nominee Jack Lew refused to obey the law requiring him to issue a report in response to the trustees' report on Medicare.
During the 2012 campaign, the Pentagon told defense contractors not to inform employees that they may be laid off if the sequester took effect as required by the WARN Act.
They were even told that the government would pay any fines for not complying. What law authorizes that?
Similarly, Health and Human Services has stated that the federal government can fund health insurance exchanges run by the feds for states that refuse to create their own exchanges.
But nowhere does the Democrats' hastily crafted ObamaCare legislation say that.
In spring 2009, we got our first glimmers of this modus operandi. In arranging the Chrysler bankruptcy, administration officials brushed aside the rights of secured creditors in order to pay off the United Auto Workers.
University of Pennsylvania law professor David Skeel pointed out that this violated the standard rules of bankruptcy law established, interestingly, during the New Deal.
"We have just seen an episode of gangster government," I wrote at the time. "It is likely to be a continuing series."
It looks like that's one prediction I got right. This president, like all his predecessors since Woodrow Wilson started delivering these speeches in person, looks magnificent in the temple where laws are made.
But he doesn't seem to consider himself bound by them.

Anthony Hopkins Joins Cast of NOAH
Filmmaker Darren Aronofsky revealed on his Twitter account today that actor Anthony Hopkins has just signed on to play the role of Methuselah in the upcoming biblical film NOAH. The actor will join previously announced cast members Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Saoirse Ronan, Douglas Booth, Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ray Winstone.
Aronofsky commented on Twitter, "i'm honored to be working with the great sir Anthony Hopkins. we just added him to the stellar cast of #Noah; #methuselahlives." Methuselah is described as "the world's oldest man mentioned in the Hebrew Bible who according to the story died seven days before the Great Flood."
The movie is currently shooting and is scheduled to be released on March 28, 2014 from Paramount Pictures.
Sir Philip Anthony Hopkins is a Welsh actor of film, stage and television. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs (for which he received the Academy Award for Best Actor), its sequel Hannibal, and its prequel Red Dragon. Other prominent film credits include The Lion in Winter, Magic, The Elephant Man, 84 Charing Cross Road, Dracula, Legends of the Fall, The Remains of the Day, Amistad, Nixon, and Fracture. Hopkins was born and brought up in Wales. Retaining his British citizenship, he became a U.S. citizen on 12 April 2000.
