My Experience at the Scholarship Lunch — Todd Roling, UTCS Junior
I decided in January that this would be the semester I search for jobs, and began making a concerted effort to find just the right situation. At the UTCS scholarship lunch, I met Jerry Dziuk from IBM and he distributed my resume to a plethora of hiring managers inside IBM. I also received a second offer from another company through a contact made at the lunch, but selected a part-time position with IBM which I'm extremely excited about.
For my efforts during the semester, I received six job offers, but the most lucrative and interesting opportunities came from the scholarship lunch. Thanks to UTCS, FoCS, and all the wonderful scholarship donors, I now have a dream fulfilled, a great learning experience ahead of me, and a paycheck!

|Variability, Speciation and Phytoremediation of Soil Arsenic at Cattle Dip Sites in NSW, Australia
|Niazi, Nabeel Khan
Cattle dip sites
Chinese brake fern
Gold dust fern
Mid Infrared
Sequential extraction procedure
spatial variability of arsenic
|Issue Date:
|Arsenic (As) contamination of soils is a major environmental problem due to its toxic and carcinogenic nature. Historical use of As-containing pesticides has resulted in the contamination of soils with high and variable concentrations of As in many parts of Australia. Phytoremediation using As-hyperaccumulating ferns can be potentially utilised as an environmental friendly and low-cost remediation technology to phytoextract As from soils at sites containing elevated and varying concentration of As. The spatial variability of total and phosphate-extractable As concentrations was evaluated in soil adjacent to a cattle-dip site located at Wollongbar in northern NSW, Australia. The results from the linear mixed model showed that total (0–0.2 m) and phosphate-extractable (0–0.2, 0.2–0.4 and 0.4–0.6 m depths) As concentrations in the soil adjacent to the dip site varied greatly and increased significantly (P = 0.004–0.048) toward the dip site, indicating that As variability in soil was spatially correlated with distance from the dip. The data suggest that 5 samples should be required to assess the soil contamination level (mean = 826 mg kg–1) and 15 samples would be required to evaluate the effects of phytoremediation of As-contaminated site. The proposed guidelines on sampling requirements are important to estimate the variability in As contamination levels around other cattle-dip sites and to monitor changes in soil As content from phytoremediation activities. Ensuing study compared the phytoremediation potential of Pityrogramma calomelanos var. austroamericana (gold dust fern) against the well-known Pteris vittata (Chinese brake fern) over a 27-month duration grown at the cattle-dip site described earlier. The ferns were planted in January 2009 and harvested following 10, 22 and 27 months of growth. After 10 months of growth (short-term data), P. calomelanos var. austroamericana produced significantly higher frond dry biomass, possessed higher frond As concentration and removed more As in fronds (mean = 130 g plant–1, 887 mg kg–1 and 124 mg plant–1, respectively; P < 0.05) than P. vittata (mean = 81 g plant–1, 674 mg kg–1, 57 mg plant–1). Further samplings up to 27 months (long-term data) confirmed the earlier results that the mean frond dry biomass, As concentration and As uptake were significantly higher in P. calomelanos var. austroamericana than P. vittata. In the three harvests over the 27-month period, P. calomelanos var. austroamericana removed (8,053 mg As) 2.65 times higher As than P. vittata (3,042 mg As). For the surface (0−20 cm) and subsurface (40−60 cm) layers, the mean total soil As content was significantly (P < 0.05) reduced by 49% and 63%, respectively, using P. calomelanos var. austroamericana; and 17% and 15%, respectively, by P. vittata (P > 0.05). It is estimated that P. calomelanos var. austroamericana would take approximately 6 years to decrease mean total As content below the ecological investigation level (EIL; 20 mg kg−1) limit in the surface and subsurface soils, whereas P. vittata would require 13−15 years to achieve this target. The field experiment results suggest that P. calomelanos var. austroamericana is better suited than P. vittata for the phytoremediation of As-contaminated soils under the experimental conditions existing at the site. The potential of mid infrared (MIR) spectroscopy in combination with partial least squares (PLS) regression was investigated to estimate the total As content in a large number of soil samples collected from a highly variable As-contaminated dip site. The MIR-PLS calibration model developed excluding spectral outliers (n = 149) was robust with an acceptable reliability (coefficient of determination; R2c = 0.73; residual prediction deviation; RPDc = 1.94) to estimate total soil As content. The validation of calibration model using a separate set of unknown soil samples (n = 149; validation set) showed R2v and RPDv values of 0.63 and 1.66, respectively. The results indicate an acceptable prediction of total As content in unknown samples, suggesting that MIR-PLS based model is capable of estimating total soil As and possibly be used in certain situations; for example to estimate soil As concentration at a highly variable site, where a large number of samples needs to be analysed. The solid-phase speciation and plant availability of As in contaminated soils was determined using combination of a sequential extraction procedure (SEP), X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy and As plant uptake using Brassica juncea as a test plant. Arsenic was found to be predominantly associated with amorphous Fe oxides in arsenate (AsV) form; in few samples As was present in arsenite (AsIII) form. The concentration of As in plant shoots showed significant (P < 0.001−0.05) correlations with the exchangeable As (r = 0.85), and amorphous Fe oxides associated As evaluated by the SEP (r = 0.67) and XANES spectroscopy (r = 0.51). The results suggest that As in these fractions is readily available for plant uptake and may pose potential risk to the environment. Such detailed analysis for As speciation and phytoavailability is vital for the management and rehabilitation of As-contaminated soils.

Setting goals for Hopeville
New test targets needed after school scandal
WATERBURY — State and local educational leaders have begun talks aimed at adjusting standardized testing targets for a school rocked by a cheating scandal in 2011.
In early December, the state unveiled its new accountability system, which includes a new scoring system and targets for student performance on annual standardized tests. Scores of up to 100 points are possible on the tests, which are taken by students in grades three through eight, and high school sophomores.

Use the word plummetted if you must but PLEASE add a few words about where those plummetted scores landed. Stop hurting the innocent staff and students of Hopeville, who are performing as the district performs! "

Our research suggest that inhibition of this pathway can increase the intrinsic sensitivity of tumor cells to radiation and also decrease tumor oxygenation.

Fast-food lover gets whopper of a funeral
YORK -- Mourners at a Pennsylvania fast-food fan's funeral wanted him to have it his way, so they arranged for his hearse -- and the rest of the procession -- to make one last drive-thru visit before reaching the cemetery.
David Kime Jr. "lived by his own rules," daughter Linda Phiel said. He considered the lettuce on a burger his version of healthy eating, she said.
To give him a whopper of a send-off Saturday, the funeral procession stopped at a Burger King where each mourner got a sandwich for the road.
Kime got one last burger too, the York Daily Record reported. It was placed atop his flag-draped coffin at the cemetery.
Phiel said the display wasn't a joke, rather a happy way of honoring her father and the things that brought him joy.
"He lived a wonderful life and on his own terms," she said.
Kime, 88, a World War II veteran, died Jan. 20.
Restaurant manager Margaret Hess said she knew his face and his order. She and her crew made 40 burgers for the funeral procession.
"It's nice to know he was a loyal customer up until the end <0x2014> the very end," she said.

Double Diesel is the sativa-dominant result of a cross between award-winning NYC Diesel and Sour Diesel. These plants are easy to grow and their lime green buds will give off a strong diesel-y odor with some grapefruit added in. The grapefruit notes overpower the taste, giving this strain a unique musky fruit flavor. Its effects are happy and uplifting, but not usually as energetic as some other sativas. Overall, it's a good choice for a laid-back medicated time.

Sucampo Presents Detailed Results Of Positive Phase 3 Trial Of Lubiprostone In Opioid-Induced Bowel Dysfunction (OBD)
Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCMP) today announced the presentation of positive data from a Phase 3 clinical trial of lubiprostone for the treatment of opioid-induced bowel dysfunction (OBD), at Digestive Disease Week 2012, held in San Diego, California . The Phase 3 trial evaluated lubiprostone for OBD in patients with chronic, non-cancer pain, excluding those taking methadone. As previously announced, in this study lubiprostone met its primary endpoint and was found to be safe and well-tolerated.
"We believe that these data demonstrate that lubiprostone may represent an important new treatment option for patients suffering from this condition," said M. Mazen Jamal, M.D., M.P.H., a lead investigator in the trial and Chief of Endoscopy, Long Beach Veterans Affairs' Medical Center, Long Beach, California, Professor, Department of Medicine, University of California College of Medicine at Irvine. Dr. Jamal gave the presentation, entitled " Lubiprostone improves treatment response in opioid-induced bowel dysfunction patients with chronic, non-cancer pain: results from a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial."
Results from this trial not previously disclosed include:
- The proportion of patients with a first spontaneous bowel movement (SBM), at 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours post-dose was found to be statistically significant over placebo (p=0.002, p=0.017, p=0.021, p=0.016 and p=0.022, respectively) with the median time to first SBM being 24.25 hours for those on lubiprostone versus 38.5 hours on placebo (p=0.019).
- Greater proportions of lubiprostone subjects experienced improvement in their OBD symptoms over the 12 week period than did placebo subjects, including: straining associated with SBMs (p=0.002), stool consistency of SBMs (p<0.001), constipation severity (p=0.007), abdominal bloating (p=0.208, not statistically significant) and abdominal discomfort (p=0.048).
- Weekly changes from baseline in SBM frequency (lubiprostone vs. placebo) were significantly different at 8 of the 12 treatment weeks for lubiprostone vs. placebo, with overall statistical significance achieved (p=0.005).
There were no drug-related serious adverse events reported for patients taking lubiprostone. Overall, the percentage of patients discontinuing treatment due to adverse events was 5.0% for the lubiprostone group compared with 1.8% in the placebo group. Of the patients receiving lubiprostone, 23.5% discontinued the study versus 18.6% of patients on placebo. The most common treatment-related adverse events (experienced by >5 percent of patients) were diarrhea (9.6% vs. 1.4%), nausea (8.2% vs. 2.7%), and abdominal pain (5.5% vs. 0.0%) for lubiprostone vs. placebo, respectively. A majority (91.7%) of lubiprostone patients who reported diarrhea described the events as mild to moderate in severity. The incidence rates of severe nausea were 1.4% for placebo-treated patients and 0.9% for lubiprostone treated patients.About AMITIZA for Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) AMITIZA is a chloride channel activator indicated for the treatment of CIC (24 mcg twice daily) in adults and for IBS-C (8 mcg twice daily) in women 18 years of age and older.

Secretary of State Charles E. Summers, Jr. Announces: School's Open, Drive Carefully
Secretary of State Charlie Summers teams up with AAA Northern New England and local officials to promote back to school safety message
On September 6, 2012 Secretary of State Charlie Summers will team up with AAA Northern New England and state officials to promote back to school safety. The press conference will be held at 10:00am at the Cumberland Avenue entrance to Portland High School. State and local officials will discuss efforts to improve highway safety in Maine as children return to school.
Secretary Summers will highlight law changes and (driving regulations) passed by the 125th legislature which became effective August 30th. "I'm hopeful that stricter laws and penalties will deter not only teenage drivers but all drivers to make our roadways safer," said Summers.
According to AAA's statistics more than 1,200 children lost their lives during after-school hours between 2000 and 2010. Pat Moody, AAA Northern New England public affairs states, "although we've seen a steady decrease in the number of tragedies each year, it's important to remember that one death is one too many." AAA Northern New England distributes thousands of "Schools Open, Drive Carefully" posters annually in the region in an effort to raise awareness.

Full text not available from this repository.
In this study, seven metrics are proposed for measuring the complexity of Executable Business Processes (EBP). The metrics are either derived from existing business process metrics or adapted from software metrics. Evaluation was carried out in three case studies with the goal of finding out if the metrics are theoretically sound and at the same time intuitional. In case 1, metrics values were computed from three processes and then analyzed to check whether they agree with reality. In case 2, the metrics were grouped into two categories of length and complexity and then separately checked for their conformance to Briand's framework. In case 3, all the metrics were treated under one complexity category and then checked for their conformance to Weyuker's properties. Results indicate that the new metrics are intuitional and are good if used in their respective categories, or when used together to complement each other in order to give a fuller view of process complexity.

And when I say suddenly, I mean: after 9 years of almost total disinterest in telephonic technology – except when manifest as a shiny i-screen on which she can play apps and games – on Monday, completely out of nowhere, she decided she now likes chatting on the phone with her friends from school. BOOM! No lead-up, no dabbling-in-talking-on-the-phone on occasion beforehand, no foreshadowing or warning shot.
Nothing. Just one giant, unexpected stride from little girl right into tween.
I was not – am not – prepared for this.
I am not prepared for the constant use of the phone. For the giggling about boys, the increasingly hysterical concern over fashion and hair, the dramatic, put-upon attitude and constant eye rolling at adults. And I'm not a fool – it's coming, all of it. I can smell it in the air like a sailor can smell the salt water of the sea miles inland. But most of all, I think I'm not ready for the distance I know she'll cultivate between us over the next few years, as it slowly dawns on her that her Mom is, like, a total square, GAWD. I'm not ready to face the reality that soon she'll feel ashamed to be seen with me in public, embarrassed to hold my hand or give me a hug when there are other people – especially other kids – around.
I'm not ready for her to grow up.
It's stupid, right? Because this – her growing up and becoming her pre-teen self, her own person and all that entails – is what we've been shooting for all along. And that she's doing it, and doing it in love and happiness and joy and health is something I know I should be celebrating. It's an occasion for cake and champagne, my girl growing up and developing her own social life and interests, doing all the things she should be doing at nine years of age. I know this.
So why does all of it feel like a series of tiny, heartbreaking deaths? That in some faint and almost imperceptible way – but a way that I feel like an anvil in my guts – I'm losing her, bit by little bit? That slowly, week by week and month by month, she's pulling away from me, never to return as she was?
Well, because she is.
This is, I think, the truly wrenching part of what it means to be a parent. That we have to hold them tight, and then we have to let them go. And painful as it is, I know none of us have any choice in the matter. This is our job, and what we signed up for the day they first breathed in the world and exhaled wailing, bundled in our arms. We have to give them what they need and then release them to themselves. We have to. Even when every ounce of who we are wants to keep holding their hand forever.

In the case of ICA, there are literally hundreds of different clear and pigmented 2K PU coatings available, each with its' own specialty and niche. The main advantages as seen by the Italians over the more traditional pre-cat and acid-cured products normally found in North America are: the possibility to build without checking due to the more flexible nature of the product; superior physical and chemical resistance; easier catalysation ratios (typically 2:1 or 1:1); better clarity and brighter colors; higher solids; no formaldehyde; and the possibility of doing wet on wet cycles.

My mom will be here with me for three weeks, but she may arrive after I've already given birth. So, I do think I am going to stay that additional night. I cannot have too much help and I KNOW I will be FULL of questions!!Citi-Kat congratulations on your upcoming adventure! It seems you have great resources in place, get the most of them while you can! If possible stay for the second day, you never know what may come up and the questions you will have.

The title explains it all really. Why do some theists seem to take it so personally when you say you don't believe in not just their god, but any god? It just seems so silly...
Views: 383
I'd wager there are a great many reasons. Just speculating I'd say:
People, all people, respond to many things personally and emotionally when it makes no rational sense. I think it's just in the wiring to a certain degree.
ah! I fellow redditor! i usually post both places hahaha and usually get two different sets of answers, both very good :)
I assumed people I have experienced like that believed it was their duty. Sort of like they were getting brownie points with god or something to speak out. I think Kris nailed it.
Because believing in a god is the basis for their entire way of life. They really think morality comes from religion and without religion we are without morals. By not believing you are, in a way, saying that they are wrong, that god is a fabrication, and that the bible is a work of fiction and full of lies.
thats how my husband, Chris, step dad gets.
His head is so far up the bible's ass he has to rub it in Chris face when ever he sees him lol
They identify as their belief instead of as an individual, so anything that can be perceived as an attack on their beliefs is immediately translated to a personal attack. Given that existence or non-existence are the only two options, they don't like the insinuation that their belief is wrong, but have no problem telling you that yours is.
Perhaps they feel as though we're mocking their beliefs, rather than simply choosing not to share them?
Perish the thought.
Those that take it personally have an emotional attachment to their religion or cannot bare the consquences if they are wrong.
People are idiots.

But it wasn't just his size that almost derailed his Hall of Fame career. "When I was 17, I broke my femur. Don Brankley was a trainer for the London Knights for 38 years, and without his support, I really don't think I would have made it. The leg took two years to heal and after a year coming back, it still didn't feel strong enough, but Branks said, 'You're not going to let a broken leg get in the way of fulfilling your dream, are you.'"
Not selected by any team through two National Hockey League Entry Drafts, teams shied away from Ciccarelli, although Scotty Bowman of the Buffalo Sabres and Lou Nanne of the Minnesota North Stars both talked to the youngster about signing as a free agent. Nanne won the services of Ciccarelli. "He said, 'You could score goals prior to breaking your leg and if we get the leg in shape, you'll score goals again.'" Dino did.
Splitting the season between the Oklahoma City Stars of the Central Hockey League and the NHL's Minnesota North Stars, Dino scored 50 goals (32 in 48 games with Oklahoma and 18 in 32 games with the North Stars), and then tore up the playoffs, setting an NHL record for goals and points by a rookie in the post-season as he helped Minnesota's drive to the final with 14 goals and 7 assists in 19 playoff games.
For Dino Ciccarelli, the pinnacle of a fine National Hockey League career was, in fact, playing his first National Hockey League game, pulling on the green and gold sweater of the Minnesota North Stars during the 1980-81 season, the first step towards a Hockey Hall of Fame career.

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on April 12, 2013
Yesterday, Governor Mike Beebe (D) signed into law Senate Bill 858, introduced by state Senator Jason Rapert (R-35). This new law goes into effect in mid-July and establishes that Arkansas must recognize any valid Right-to-Carry permit issued by another state and replaces the current conditional reciprocity standard. We thank Governor Beebe for signing this important pro-gun reform.
Senate Bill 896, introduced by state Senator Bryan King (R-5), unanimously passed in the House Judiciary Committee yesterday and is now eligible for consideration on the House floor. This legislation is a companion of Senate Bill 71, also sponsored by Senator King and enacted in February. SB 71 removed the absolute prohibition on concealed handgun carry license (CHCL) holders from carrying a concealed firearm for personal protection into any church or other place of worship. Churches and other places of worship can now decide if CHCL holders will be allowed to carry concealed firearms on their property. SB 896 would address places of worship that also have a private school (grades K-12) on the same property. Because Arkansas law prohibits CHCL holders from carrying their personal protection firearms onto any school property, this legislation is necessary to create an exemption for those properties that have the dual function of acting as both a house of worship as well as a private school.
Senate Bill 896 could be heard any day now, so it is imperative your contact your state Representative and urge him or her to support SB 896.

April 7th, 2013 By Pedro FernandezCAN FANS COMPREHEND THIS?
San Francisco, CA- Some of you are probably scratching your heads after reading the title, so in order to fully clarify what I'm talking about, it'll take additional verbiage. Having known professional boxers since I could first remember, Frankie Klick, who beat Kid Chocolate for the World 140 lb. crown in 1933 was the first pro I ever met. For the most part, Frankie was always on his back, drunk as a skunk, lying on the sidewalk somewhere on Cortland Ave in the Bernal Heights District of this beautiful City by The Bay.
Frankie, who went 84-26-13, 24 KOs from 1929 to his last fight against an old friend of mine Al Citrino (who was knocked down 12 times by Henry Armstrong, decades before training Pat Lawlor to wins over ex-champs Roberto Duran, Wilfredo Benitez and Rene Arrendondo) in 1943, when he was sober would tell me about the great fighters of his era, Joe Louis, Armstrong, Ray Robinson, even Archie Moore. But he never put himself at their level, admitting that he was brought in to lose to Kid Chocolate, pulled off what amounted to like a 20-1 upset, and lost his next fight, a non-title affair before he defended and lost the championship in 1934 to Barney Ross. My old man said, and Frankie readily admitted that he had been beaten up many times in his career.
I can go through a list of fighters, some local, some national, a few amateurs, but mainly professionals that were beaten up and the residual effects of such are telling today. Bobby Chacon, as goofy as he got from being beaten up, I introduced him once at the California Boxing Hall of Fame and he went up and admitted he was "brain damaged." Said Bobby, "I'm a fighter and that's what happens."
As for guys that retired unbeaten, Rocky Marciano is always brought up, and when I look at interviews of Marciano before his death in an airplane crash, that was brought about because Marciano, a cheap skate of epic proportions, refunded his airline ticket and hopped on a small plane for free. To his credit, he never appeared punchy.
That being said, Rocky may have retired unbeaten, but not unbeaten up! Archie Moore put a beating on him, so did non-puncher Roland Lastarza and Joe Walcott, the point is that Rocky did go unbeaten, but not unbeaten up!CALZAGHE ONE OF FEW EXCEPTIONS TO RULE
When the ex-WBO 168 lb. titleholder Joe Calzaghe retired in 2008, not only was he unbeaten at 46-0, 32 KOs with 21 title defenses, the lad from Wales walked away unbeaten-up! Quite an accomplishment when you realize that out of the thousands of fighters who have boxed professionally, I can only cite Joe and 1950s heavyweight prospect Jack Scheberies, who retired abruptly after beating German prospect Hans Freidrich who went out "unbeaten up." And if he continues on his current path, Floyd Mayweather will join this select group.
Although BoxRec.com has him listed at 6-0, 4 KOs, according to promoter Don Chargin, both alumni of San Jose State College, Jack Scheberies was more like 15-0 with 10 KOs when "nerves" compelled him to hang up the gloves in 1954. A nicer than nice man, both to me and everybody I've ever mentioned him to, Jack had a heart of gold and once gave an unemployed mother of three an $800 car for a $25 down payment, this after took over his father's use used car lot in Oakland, CA and became a referee. I was at a function some 20 years ago in Oakland speaking, when this woman told me how Jack helped her keep her family intact with a good running car and that she had no job or credit.
The unnecessary beating Shane Mosley took from Saul Alvarez is one that he will pay for until they pour dirt over him. Some people think Manny Pacquiao, Vernon Forrest (twice) and Winky Wright (twice) gave Mosley a licking, but those beatings weren't much when compared to the damage Alvarez inflicted. That being said, I'm going to call out both his trainer Nazim Richardson and trainer/HBO analyst Emanuel Steward, both good men and trainers.
Richardson should have thrown in the towel before the tenth round, if not then, certainly thereafter. But he didn't. Instead he allowed the much smaller Mosley, who can no longer cheat and use performance enhancement drugs, something he has admitted to knowing of prior and then doing so. I'm talking about a couple forms of steroids and EPO (blood doping). Mosley, who is nearly 40, can't push guys around the ring and that was illustrated when Manny Pacquiao mauled him for the better part of 12 fistic frames.
The damage done by having someone punch you with reckless abandon to both the torso and cranium cannot be undone. Unlike the common cold, which most people can kick within 14 days, the results of taking hard punches repeatedly is like a progressive disease, like Lung Cancer, it doesn't go away if you stop smoking. The same can be said from taking a beating.
Having televised one of Mosley's first four or five professional fights, I knew he was something special. In post fight interviews he was quick to respond, didn't have to obviously think about what he was going to say before he said it, which today appears not to be the case. In other words, he's a "beaten up" fighter who may have facial features that are distorted today, it will be his neurological state in five to ten years that concerns me more.
I am not one to believe that you let a fighter continue taking a beating. And what Alvarez was dishing out was a "complete" beating both to the body and the head, rocking Mosley much like President Kennedy in his famous rocking chair at the White House. Steward, Richardson, even trainer Jeff Mayweather while appearing on the Sunday edition of the "Ring Talk Boxing & MMA Hour," was of the opinion that it was OK to let Mosley continue because of the fact he had never been stopped before!
In closing, sustained beatings in boxing would not occur, boxers wouldn't suffer concussions or brain bleeds at a 21% clip, not if boxing changed two things. The first being, the size of the gloves. Anybody 130 and below should wear six ounce gloves. From 130 to 160, eight-ounce gloves should be utilized. From 168 to heavyweight, ten-ounce gloves should be the rule. Truth be told, I even wince at that for if I had my druthers, boxers from 108 to 130 would use four ounce padded gloves, 130 to 160 would mean six-ounce mitts. And anything about 168, eight ounces should be the rule.
When I throw out the 21% factor of boxers getting concussions, the test results I'm relying on were from a five-year period in the state of Nevada. In that same time span, only 2% of the UFC related cage fighters who use four-ounce gloves incurred such injuries. For the safety of the fighter, the gloves need to be smaller for all the big gloves do is allow a sustained beating to occur, much like the Saul Alvarez-Shane Mosley fight which resulted in a 12-round unanimous decision loss for Mosley. Would the fight have been any different had they halted matters after eight? No, but Shane Mosley would've paid less of a price than he did and might even enjoy a longer and more productive lifespan.
Pedro Fernandez
Mosley has to retire that ass whooping will probably concuss his brain to the point where he will demand a rematch with Floyd!
Pedro, what's your take on Bernard Hopkins? Isn't he also, even at 47, an unbeaten up fighter? Or if he has been beaten up who did it?
I like the idea of smaller gloves but i favors punchers, also expect a lot more fighters to have hand problems. You'd expect a lot of fighters to merely slap with punches in fear of damaging their hands. MMA fighters don't sustain the same damage because alot of their fighting consists of ground combat. I like your idea, I think it would make the sport safer and more entertaining, however if you were a boxer type not sure if it would benefit a defensive minded boxer.
Calzaghe beat him up a bit! Taylor bruised him twice. Dawson licked him like a stamp in rematch!
The missing ingredient to the "smaller gloves = safer since ufc has less brain injuries" argument is that mma guys don't have the pinpoint accuracy as boxers. when an mma/muay thai guy hits you it may be hard but it's not one of those drop-you-and-you-don't-know-what-happened type punches. it's hard to explain but the punches don't feel the same so the study would have to be done with boxing matches using lighter gloves vs boxing matches using heavier gloves.
Okay, here's the reply. Nobody ever died in a bare-knuckle (no gloves) fight and that you have 265 lbs, guys pounding on prone (horizontal) guys. So, If you don't think like 170 lb. monsters like Nick Diaz, who can box as well, or these 265 lbs. (at the weigh in) monsters striking a downed opponent with a punch thrown from the top are not more powerful than a boer hitting a guy who is moving about and standing up, then you're not dealing with reality.
Whats up every1? Great article again Pedro. As we were watching the fights (shane vs canalo) last night my father and other folks at my party were saying they should stop this so he can fight again or another time. I thought no way let Shane go out on his shield, this will be his last fight anyway. Even though he was crying in the Pacman fight, Mosley is a Hall of Famer. He was never KO'd. Even against an undfeated fighter that was close to half his age couldn't knock him down. This is Boxing. For some reason I never got into Joe Calzaghe. Ricardo Lopez was Top Dog of the all time greats. BHop is 47 years old. HELLO.
Ricardo killed his legacy when he wouldn't step up and meet Humbero Gonzalez or Michael Carbajal. I think jose (Sillyman) Sulaiman was calling the shots for Lopez, and he wouldn't move him up a lousy three pounds. Good fighter, we'll never know how great a pugilist, but a great person was Ricardo!
Another beaten-up guy is Juan ma Lopez, 2x from salido and 1 from the african (forgot his name) fighter
But does "beaten up" always mean dementia? Look at George Chuvalo. Who took more punches than him over the course of their career? Yet the last time I heard him speak he was as lucid as a child.
No, I just said beaten-up. Marciano got beaten up, no dementia there.
After watching the fight, I never got the impression that Mosley was slower than Alvarez. Mosley just couldn't pull the trigger when he needed to. A shot fighter is what Mosley is. The brain sends the commands but the body reacts too slow. As far as Alvarez goes, this win proved nothing.
i think shane has to keep fighting most likely for money. remember his exwife was his manager also, she got everything including shane's championship belts (dont understand that) i think shane just needs money. thats it thats all.
I don't know what the actual number is but I do know that it is somwhere around 90% of all ring fatalities happen at weights 140 and below.
Get busted across the face by Mike Tyson, your lights go out and that is pretty much it. You get in there with a buy like say Erik Morales or Marco Antonio Barrera, more often than not, you are going to be in there a long time, taking dozens if not well over a hundred shots to the head.
I don't know how relevant the UFC comparison is, it is a different breed of animal. I think that anyone who analytically looks at the two can see where the UFC is much safer in this regard. You have submission pins that are pressure point holds and pretty much the entire body is an acceptable target with much if not most of the maneuvering being of the non-impact variety where as in boxing, everything from the waist down is off limits and every single blow is the result of some form of impact blow… Whether it is a clean punch or the SOB is elbowing or head-butting you. It is the same thing over and over again… bam, bam, bam
Beautiful article. Again, you're sharing your experience with legends like Frankie Klick, and you're talking honestly about the dangers of boxing. This is as real as it gets for a layman like me.
I hear that Mosley wants to continue fighting and that he thinks that he has "gotten his legs and reflexes back." We all know that he may able to still beat some fringe contenders and club fighters, but that even this would be risky. Against real world class fighters at welter and junior middleweight, forget it. Let's hope that his true supporters and friends intervene and help him explore other options to keep him financially solvent. I know that his divorce was very costly and that his ex-wife is in possession of his championship belts. Apparently, they're to be given to his sons when they come of age.
Several times, Pedro, you've mentioned the use of certain weight gloves to help nullify some of the risk for permanent brain damage. Please share with us some additional measures that can be taken.
"Smaller gloves were safer,"you got this by comparing fatalities in boxing and UFC. Isn't it the fight itself? MMA or Boxing when a man was hit in the head accurately then it can cause concussions. The difference is, in boxing you'll have a 10 – 12 rounds continuous pounding while the UFC only have few rounds. Or maybe the kind of trainings they have to build their defence.. Just an opinion though.
Smaller gloves do not mean round after round of head punches. In a 5 year span, Nevada tested MMA fighters and boxers after fights. 21% of boxers had concussions…….ONLY 2% of MMA fighters had "brain bleeds."
Geoff, thanks for the kind words. Frankie lived until he was 82 I think. Taught me more about boxing nd he never taught me anything except………….boxing can be hazordous to one's health.
PEDRO, PEDRO, PEDRO! Finito wasn't scared of Carbajal or Humberto Chiquita Gonzalez, it was the other way around. Lopez had the style to beat them quite handidly. You are talking about a boxer who was willing to fight anyone and demanded a rematch with Rosendo Alvarez. Finito stated he wouldn't fight anyone til he fought Alvarez in the rematch although he had a rough time with him and fought him after he came in waaaaay over the limit in the rematch Sulaiman didn't run Finito. If anyone, Beristain would have. Unlike Mayweather who fights has beens or coming up in weight and fought no more than 2 fighters in their prime. Finito fought the fighters who people wanted him to fight and those who people thought had a chance to beat him. Ricardo beat all those fighters easy. Mayweather will retire undefeatred because he wont take chances(Martinez, Pac, Canelo,GGG,Ward)
Floyd will probably retire unbeatenup , because he'll onlyfight guys he is 99% sure he'll beat. He doesn't take on ALL comers ,he cherry picks everybody. I never even heard of the Ferro until

NH firefighters battle 5 alarm blaze in Strafford
New Hampshire firefighters are battling a blaze in Strafford that has reportedly destroyed a duplex.
Firefighters were first called to the structure on Crown Point Road at about 5 a.m. Monday.
No injuries have been reported.
Foster's Daily Democrat says the building has been leveled.
Efforts to fight the fire have been hampered by a lack of water and the cold, windy weather.

Custom Belt Buckles – The Best Wedding favor
Wedding is one of the most beautiful things that can happen to a person. To a lady, it is the coming true of her childhood fairy tale –the moment where a knight and shining armor comes to rescue her and give her the love of the lifetime. On the other hand, to a guy, it is the time when he finally steps up his game and transforms to a man he was always destined to be –to take her hand and promise her to take care of it for the rest of eternity. However, it is not only the couple who's able to feel this moment as surreal as it can be. To the spectators of this wonderful bond, it is the time to lavish the couple with gifts of delight and astonishment to a wonderful love story finally taking another chapter. And if you're the spectator you surely want to honor this love with the best gift there is out there. Luckily today, it is here –the custom belt buckles.
Just like the custom ring for the wedding, the custom belt buckle can also come in pairs. The groom and the bride can have his and her custom belt buckle. Well it's always been a sweet gesture of couples to wear matching outfits to show to the world how good they look together. Why not have matching belt buckles as well? Even crazier is to have their names engraved over it.
Longevity is one thing that every couple hopes for when they tie the knot. Custom belt buckle can now be a symbol of that objective. Of course, it's out in the open that belt buckles is one tough thing. It is simply durable and has long been used generations earlier. Definitely, it can last long. And by that it can be one great symbol of a marriage that can sail through time.
When people jump into the marriage life, it is not a secret that it is a difficult task. You have to go through the commotions to keep the motion going. In short, one has to be flexible to enable the marriage to bend and not break. Just as how a custom belt buckle is, it is flexible and functional. It can come with different uses to fit your very need. Popularly it is used with belts and so it clouded us from seeing its numerous uses. Satchel bag is a trend nowadays and to add spice to it are custom belt buckles. If you're keen enough, you'll even see it used as accent to furniture. I can't begin to imagine its countless uses.
As one person who wants to make a remarkable gift for a very significant event, you can't seem to go wrong with custom belt buckles. How it is being used, how it can symbolize countless values in marriage. Most definitely, custom belt buckles is the best wedding favor you can give.

Here are some preliminary rookie rankings for the 2014 class before the combine. A few notes:
- These rankings are meant for standard 12-14 team start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3-4 WR, 1 TE leagues. In special formats like 2QB or 1.5 PPR for TE, I would bump players at those positions up significantly.
- I only have two tiers this year because I see the dropoffs being a little more flat than in a typical year. There isn't a huge, huge difference in value between say...the #10 pick and the #18 pick in my opinion. That will probably change after the combine.
- I would expect some of the unlisted/fringe prospects to eventually make a push for inclusion in the top 24. Guys like Charles Sims, Terrance West, and Robert Herron could have a decent case for it in May depending on what happens in the NFL draft.
1. WR Sammy Watkins, Clemson – Watkins doesn't have a huge frame, but he's big enough and his straight-line speed is excellent. I view him as a cross between Julio Jones and Mike Wallace. He can take short passes the distance, he's tough enough and strong enough to function in the possession game, and he has the vertical explosiveness to go long. I value him as a top 10-12 dynasty WR right out of the box.
2. WR Marqise Lee, USC – Lee isn't the biggest target and he has some consistency issues with his hands, but he plays stronger than his listed dimensions and has a rare degree of initial quickness, fluidity, and agility. He's going to be uncoverable as a slot weapon on short-intermediate routes thanks to his route running ability and he has enough speed to sneak deep as an outside receiver. I think he's a safe bet to become a solid NFL player and I value him as a top 15-20 dynasty WR from day one.
3. RB Carlos Hyde, Ohio State – He's big, he's fluid, he has nimble feet, and he can catch the ball. Is he a GREAT talent? Probably not, but his overall skill set is similar to that of Eddie Lacy and LeVeon Bell. If he goes to a team with a wide open opportunity, he should be able to yield a rookie season much like theirs. That makes him an attractive commodity in FF.
4. RB Jeremy Hill, LSU – Hill is a bit like Hyde in some ways. Both are bigger backs with surprising foot quickness. Hill may actually be a bit more dynamic with potentially a higher ceiling. He has little man feet on a big frame and displays surprising long speed. He can catch the ball and grind out tough yards. He's ready to produce top 10-15 RB seasons right away. So if he goes to a team that will give him a starting opportunity, expect solid results. There is some character risk based on his past.
5. RB Lache Seastrunk, Baylor – Seastrunk is a fast and athletic back who will appeal to teams seeking a home run hitter. Although he has a solid and compact frame, he does not run with a lot of thump. He's more of a speed back than a pounder or a juker. However, I think he shows enough elusiveness to run between the tackles. Add that to his electric big play ability and he should be a dynamic starter in the NFL. He will have to answer questions about his durability, character, and pass catching skills.
6. WR Allen Robinson, Penn State – A gifted natural receiver with great body control, fluidity, and initial quickness. Robinson isn't the strongest or the fastest, but he "knows how to get open" with subtle moves to set up defenders and create space. He's also a natural when the ball is in the air and in his hands. He can make circus catches in traffic and he transitions to running after the catch very well, showing good elusiveness for a tall player. Though not a dominant "on paper" athlete, I think he has a high floor and a pretty high ceiling. He should at least be an Eric Decker type in the NFL and could top out as something like a taller Reggie Wayne.
7. WR Mike Evans, Texas A&M – Evans is one of the toughest players in this draft for me to evaluate. His production was excellent and he has a tall frame with great range. He has good top speed and was able to make many big plays on screen passes despite not looking like the most evasive open field runner. I have some nagging fear that he doesn't possess enough quickness or agility to get open in the NFL, so I'll be watching him closely in the receiving drills at the combine to assess his movement skills. For the time being I'm slightly down on him relative to average, but I think he has a high ceiling and he's a player that could move up in future editions of this list.
8. TE Eric Ebron, North Carolina – Ebron looks like one of the safest skill prospects in this draft. Although he's often compared to Vernon Davis, he's not as fast, but a better and rangier pure receiver. The player he reminds me of is Kellen Winslow Jr. As long as he can stay healthy, I think he's a lock to become a solid starter with the upside to potentially become a Pro Bowl type. I value him as a top 6-7 dynasty TE based on his combination of security and upside. However, TE is a devalued position in many FF formats, so that's why he's at the bottom of my first tier.
9. WR Kelvin Benjamin, Florida State – A tall target with imposing strength at the catch point. Benjamin makes some great highlight reel grabs and also flashes a little bit of open field YAC ability. Given his imposing frame and big play skills, Benjamin has a very high ceiling if he hits. However, he seems like a boom-or-bust proposition. He's almost too long-legged for his own good (suspect initial quickness), he has consistency issues with his hands, and he's old relative to his draft standing. I sort of doubt that he's really going to hit big, but if he does the value could be tremendous.
10. WR Odell Beckham, LSU – Beckham is a tricky player to gauge because I like him for NFL purposes, but I don't know if his game will translate to FF production as well as some other players. He's slightly undersized for a potential #1 WR and his punt return exploits won't count for anything in most FF leagues. However, he's a great athlete with a high floor who should become a major contributor to his NFL team. It may be as more of a #2 WR/return specialist than as a 130+ target per year WR.
11. WR Donte Moncrief, Ole Miss – Moncrief has the height/weight/speed of a #1 NFL receiver, but he doesn't play like one. He's inconsistent as a possession receiver and lacks great initial quickness. He's more of a loping runner than a compact/agile athlete. His hands are spotty at times. He never dominated in college despite his talent, but I think he can be more productive at the next level than he was at Mississippi. He's a very dangerous deep threat thanks to his speed and size. He reminds me of a better version of Cowboys WR Terrance Williams and would be an ideal #2 receiver with a QB who likes to go long. That could result in a FF career somewhere along the lines of Torrey Smith and Mike Wallace.
12. WR Davante Adams, Fresno State – He's not incredible in any way, but he's solid at pretty much everything. In that regard he reminds me a little bit of Hakeem Nicks as a draft prospect. Big, but not huge. Fast, but not a burner. Athletic, but not freaky. In a dream scenario he could end up making an impact like that of Roddy White or Nicks, but he may end up being just a decent #2 target. I'm a little less certain on his athletic ability than some of these other receivers, so I'll be watching him closely at the combine to see what's under the hood.
13. RB Devonta Freeman, Florida State – Freeman has the type of skill set that should translate into NFL serviceability, if not more. He's deceptively strong with a compact frame that yields a lot more tackle breaking power than you'd think just looking at his listed weight. He has a nice burst of speed. He can catch the ball. He's a little bit straight-linish as a runner and he struggles to make the second cut once he gets up to full speed, but he does flash some ability to pick his way through traffic. I don't think he's an awesome talent who will demand a starting job wherever he goes, but he should be able to get on the field and contribute. Possibly as a starter in the right situation.
14. RB Tre Mason, Auburn – Mason is a compact runner with deceptive power, decent quickness, and good fluidity. Although he doesn't really have a lot of flashy qualities, he was a very effective grinder at the college level. I'd feel a bit better about his NFL potential if he were a bit more special physically, as he lacks rare explosiveness or size. However, he's solid and could be a serviceable NFL starter.
15. RB KaDeem Carey, Arizona – A poor man's LeSean McCoy. He doesn't have the conventional bottom-heavy RB body type, but he compensates with his good foot quickness. He's a shifty and slippery runner who can handle a big workload. There's a lack of special athletic tools and that may limit him to a backup role in the long term in the NFL. As with most of these second tier backs, landing spot will be a crucial variable in his FF value. As his opportunity goes, so goes his value.
16. RB Andre Williams, Boston College – Williams is a unique talent with some different qualities compared with the rest of this RB class. He's not as versatile as most of the other top backs, showing suspect elusiveness as a runner and minimal potential as a pass catcher. He's more of a classic two-down pounder. He has a hulking frame and deceptive speed with long strides that chew up turf. If he goes to a team that will commit to getting him the ball, he could end up making a Brandon Jacobs type of impact. I think he might be a little underrated. However, he lacks avoidance skills and will most likely have a short shelf life.
17. WR Brandin Cooks, Oregon State – Very explosive and athletic. Cooks is lightning in a bottle with legitimate track speed and good quickness. However, he's also acutely undersized, so there are going to be questions about his usage. He might not fit the mold of a high volume target. He'll never be a great red zone threat and with guys this little you've got to question their ability to take a hit. If he ends up being a top 10-12 rookie pick, I'm unlikely to be a buyer. I don't mind the gamble in the 12-25 range though on the chance that you end up with something like a DeSean Jackson or Antonio Brown.
18. QB Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M – Is he a disaster waiting to happen? He was a star in college, but he'll have a huge target on his back in the NFL and he won't be able to get away with a lot of things that worked for him on Saturdays. Manziel is extremely mobile with great improvisational skills as a runner and passer. He plays with fearlessness and will not shrink away from the big moment. Of all the three quarterbacks projected to go in the first, he looks like he has the most superstar potential. On the other hand, he also looks like a massive bust risk. He's not that big and his reckless style could get him into trouble against NFL defenders. Although he has a decent arm, his pure pocket passing ability is questionable. He will float passes, hold the ball too long, and sometimes just chuck it up for grabs. I see him as something like a Jeff Garcia, Doug Flutie, or Jake Plummer type of player. He won't be a conventional pocket passer, but if a team surrounds him with the right players then he can potentially be successful. He will have to stay focused and put in the work. I think he would really benefit by spending a year on the sidelines ala Mike Vick. If he's rushed into game duty too quickly, there's a significant chance he could go into a permanent tailspin. Despite the obvious risk, he has an appealing upside and that's the main thing I'm looking for in a developmental dynasty QB, so I'll roll the dice here.
19. TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington – Talked about as a possible top 10 overall pick in the offseason, ASJ simply doesn't have the raw explosiveness to warrant such a high selection. He doesn't break big plays and isn't very fast, but I like his chances of having a moderately successful career as a big body power forward type. He has a huge frame, he's nimble for a big man, and he has good innate receiving skills to come down with difficult grabs. I see his NFL outlook falling somewhere between Martellus Bennett and Antonio Gates. Like Ebron, his ranking on this list suffers from the relatively low value of the TE position in most FF leagues. He also has some minor character red flags to answer.
20. RB Bishop Sankey, Washington – A jack of all trades and a master of none, Sankey is yet another RB in this draft who can do a little bit of everything. I rate him a little below some of the others because he looks less dynamic to me. I don't think he's going to be one of the 20 most talented backs in the NFL, but I think he's talented enough that if he goes to an open situation he could make some noise. So as with many of the other backs this year, keep a close eye on who drafts him and what their depth chart looks like.
21. TE Jace Amaro, Texas Tech – Amaro put up huge stats in Texas Tech's pass-happy offense as a glorified slot WR. Given that he's a receiving specialist and that those are in vogue at the TE position in the NFL, it's possible that he'll end up being a lot more valuable than this ranking would suggest. We saw what happened with Jordan Reed last year. Amaro is a totally different style of player than Reed though. He's taller and bigger, but a lot less agile. He has somewhat sloppy movement skills. He's not elusive in the open field and won't be a big threat after the catch. He had a pretty modest YPC and really isn't the dynamic athlete that you might think looking at his raw stats. However, if he goes to a team that will utilize him as a pure receiving specialist, there's definitely the potential for a big FF output. So even though he doesn't totally pass the eyeball test for me, I can't rule him out.
22. QB Blake Bortles, Central Florida – Bortles has the NFL look with a big frame, decent mobility, and adequate arm strength. Whether or not he has the mental talent of an elite QB is a little more questionable. His 2013 stats were outstanding, but he seemed more comfortable working the outside of the field than the middle. Screens and short WR hitches padded his numbers a little bit. When working the clogged middle, he was less consistent with his decision making and ball placement. He does show some innate ability to evade the rush though and I think he has the right mental toughness and demeanor that you want in a leader. I think there's something interesting to work with here, but at the same time I don't see him as an obvious elite innate passer. He's right in the middle between Jake Locker and Andrew Luck, which could make him comparable to Ryan Tannehill. A physically gifted developmental project with fringe top 10 upside, but probably not Pro Bowl potential.
23. QB Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville – Bridgewater offers a contrast in styles compared with Bortles. He's not as good of an athlete and might not have as high of a ceiling, but he's a more polished product with arguably superior mental talent. He makes good decisions, shows good poise under pressure, and can improvise when things break down. He always seems calm and in control. However, his arm strength is nothing spectacular and he has a thin frame for the NFL. I see him as more of a rhythm/touch passer in the mold of Chad Pennington than a real gunslinger like Brees. There's a chance that he could grow and develop over time as Tom Brady did. I like the fact that the mental components all seem to be there, but ultimately my sense is that he lacks a huge upside and will top out as a more of a mid-level player than a real mega star.
24. WR Jordan Matthews, Vanderbilt – Matthews had a great college career and is a little more athletic than he might appear at first glance. He's a tall, skinny technician with a little bit of vertical speed and downfield game. I don't think he has the look of a future #1 NFL target, but in the right offense maybe he can be a productive #2. There are other players out there with more upside, so he's a prime candidate to slide down the board in future editions.
RB Terrance West, Towson
RB Charles Sims, West Virginia
RB Isaiah Crowell, Alabama State
RB Storm Johnson, Central Florida
RB Tim Flanders, Sam Houston State
WR Robert Herron, Wyoming
WR Jarvis Landry, LSU
WR Cody Latimer, Indiana
WR Martavis Bryant, Clemson
