sporting events? The flap over banning it and then reinstating it at high school hockey games in PA made me think about this. It strikes me that there is so little respect shown for it on so many occasions that it should be dropped. Your thoughts are eagerly anticipated.... |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't mind it being played... it's a nice traditional and historical song... I actually like our national anthem. I just don't want to have to salute it by holding my hand over my heart... that's a bit too worship-y for me. I don't have a problem standing up and offering a little respect for the countries in attendance at sporting events. In MMA or Boxing, there's often more than one or two anthems played depending on where the event is held and where the teams are from. It can seem tedious, but it's respectful. There's nothing wrong with showing a little respect. |
I attend quite a few sporting events and I am thrilled to hear the National anthem(s) played. This year at Olympics events, baseball and football games, I've consciously thought how proud I am to be in a group of up to 70,000+ or so people, all of whom are standing with hands over heart, united in showing respect. United is the key word. You and I are clearly not at the same sporting events if you feel respect isn't being shown, |
The National anthem will never be "banned" at sports events. It is my own opinion that the decision to play "God Bless America" during the 7th inning intermission of MLB games, is a bit much. |
Heri, I've never heard that played... don't they usually play "Take me out to the ball game!" during the 7th inning stretch? |

I hang out at places where the national anthem is played. I can tolerate it. Barely. What I have trouble tolerating is the Nazis berating people who won't stand up and take off their hats. Berating to the point that they drive the people out of the establishment. Land of the Free. Hay |
Since 9/11/01 most stadiums play "God Bless America" during 7th inning stretch and I agree with heri. A bit much. I don't mind the national anthem. Tradition. |
I think it's terribly overdone, and not necessary. We do know where we live, after all. I will stand, but that's it. It has become faux patriotism, and is not particularly attractive. |

I'm with jodik on this one for basebabll. You're supposed to lean way out of the window with your beer mug in hand like Harry Caray. Fun! Mind, banned? words I'd never put in the same place as the national anthem. It moves me to tears every time I sing it. Why would it be banned? That is ridiculous! |

It makes me squirm. Me too - I hear an echo of Leni Riefenstahl. |
At pretty much all our high school sporting events, the high school choir teacher (now part-time due to budget cuts) and her 12 yr old daughter sing the national anthem. Over an obsolete, scratchy, screechy PA system. The duet hits the high notes. Barely. |

The hockey thing in PA that sparked this news story and discussion is odd. From what I understand, they're trying to save money by making the game shorter by eliminating the singing of this song because they are renting the rink... by the minute? What I'm left wondering is why is some hockey rink is trying to nickel'n'dime the school like this? Why not just have a set price per game for renting the facility? |

I'm with circus and nancy. I think it smacks of jingoism und das vaderland. And many in the crowds do not behave respectfully when it is played. |
When the national anthem (and similar songs) are played at a sporting event, I always find myself wondering what is so darned patriotic about a ball game? Strange pairing of unrelated values. Unless of course one resurrects that old idea that sporting competitions are peace-time "war games" training the future "soldiers" of America. Don't know if that idea is around still, but I remember when that argument was made during my childhood. Kate |
Been a long time since I attended a live sporting event... especially baseball. |
In Canada (or at least where I live) we don't play our national anthem to an excess. It isn't played at high school games or high school concerts. When I go to hockey games I do like hearing the anthems for our team and the visiting American team. However I do wonder who we are singing them for. So many of the hockey players are now from European countries that I wonder if it is still necessary to play them. But I guess tradition is tradition. |
I'm in the circus, Nancy, Mom and Woodnymph camp. It smacks of jingoism to me too. I'm very uncomfortable with it. We've been going to my grand daughters's swim meets and they open the meet with the national anthem. |

I do not care that they play it or say the Pledge of A~~I just stand respectfully, the same as when prayers are done. I do not put my hand over my heart, not in protest I just do not~~~it is a harmless tradition I respect that. |
I think I'm shocked. Americans aren't bonded any more and we are complaining about something that should be universal to every American? I dunno. I guess growing up military and being taught respect for the flag and for all which it stands (even the distasteful opinions for those not in the mainstream), I'm just different. When I was very young, they even played the national anthem before movies started. I couldn't figure out why the rest of the world didn't. What's wrong with showing patriotism? Sorry, but the folks I'm around take off their hats, stand, with their hands over their heart. And I'm not on a base any more. Regular southern folks at schools and the Nashville Predator games (when they're played) and our farmteam (for the Milwaukee Brewers), the Nashville Sounds. Where is it people are being disrespectful? When should it be played? |
For some reason they play our national anthem and the Canadian one(I thought ours was hard)at the beginning of the Highland games here-most people are good for the American one but will start talking during the Canadian. Rude. I agree that conflating sports with patriotism is odd...even odder is bagpipe playing contests. |
I vote for the Jimi Hendrix version as the required one. |

Bagpipes at sports events? Never heard of it--but I adore bagpipes. I have no objections to bagpipes at sporting events. : ) Kate |
Apparently the ice rinks charge by the hour so here in western PA they want to eliminate the National anthem because it cuts into their time. I have no opinion. It's always played at my grandson's soccer games. I stand, hand over heart,and sit down. It used to be played during his little league games too. I have no opinion. Keep it or don't. |
Just cut the playing time in half by jazzing it up to 78 speed. ....showing my age. |

At international games/matches only, where both teams anthems are played. Except cricket, where a rather special anthem is sung - incredibly moving and patriotic! |

I don't mind the National Anthem being played at sporting events, just spare me the vocal gymnastics of some of the singers! |

This thread brings back a very nice memory. We have lived in the USA a couple of times. In fact, our son, was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan and actually has dual citizenship. But that is another story. My husband and I are both baseball fans and love going to games. Back in 2000, we were living in Dunkirk, New York. Within a hour of our home we had access to A Ball(Jamestown, NY, Double A (Erie, PA) and Tripe A (Buffalo, Ny) ballgames. At the games in Jamestown, a recording of the National Anthem was played over the speaker system. At one of the games, everyone was standing waiting for the anthem to start, it was taking a while to start and then became obvious that there was a problem. All of a sudden, a man jumped on the field and started to sing the anthem and then everyone in the bleachers started to sing along with him. It was really touching. I love going to ball games where both the US and the Canadian Anthems are played. ~Ann |
I love when the National anthems are played, especially if it is a situation where both the US and Canadian anthems are played. What I can't abide is the disrespectful jerks who keep yapping and yelling and cheering. I also really get annoyed when both anthems are not respected equally. They do it really well at the Olympics PS: Oh Canada always brings tears to my eyes when I sing it....and I can even sing the French parts! |
I love Oh Canada too and I'm not even Canadian. Brings tears to my eyes. I love when two different countries are playing a sport or the Olympics. National pride then...but a 6 year old's tee ball game? |
I don't see why the national anthem is played at sporting events, unless the game is between two countries; then I think both anthems should be played. If the USA national anthem IS played, for whatever event, I stand, hand over heart, and face the flag. Oh, I also sing along. If the USA president walks into a venue, I stand for him/her, too. It's a matter of respect, not a worship thing. I would also stand for a governor and the pope. And a just-married couple. And a guest of honor. Back to the OP: no. |
- Posted by agnespuffin (My Page) on Thu, Nov 15, 12 at 19:19
My objection is NOT to the playing of the anthem, it's the singing by a show-off, that is more interested in making it a jazzy, or cute solo. It should sound patriotic, not like something heard in a bar full of drunks. |
agnespuffin: I agree. For the opening ceremonies at the Olympics in Vancouver, the girl who sang "Oh Canada", Nikki Yanofsky did it in a matter that I thought was insulting. She is a jazz singer and sang it in that form. It meant that the audience, mainly Canadians could not sing along with her. The people of Vancouver were so excited about hosting the games and we couldn't sing our own national anthem. I suspect that was one of the reasons that we wound up taking any and every opportunity to sing it out in the streets during the games. |
- Posted by prairiefox (My Page) on Thu, Nov 15, 12 at 22:58
I always think it is weird when they play the anthem at the start of a dog show. It is considered a sporting event but it still is odd to me. |
I have to disagree with you blfenton. I really enjoyed Nikki Yanofsky's version of O'Canada. Ann |
I think I know what Fenton means though. Like Christina Aguilara (I'm a fan), singing at the Super Bowl. She got so carried away with her complicated vocalizations that she forgot the words! |
I'm one of those weepers around the Star Spangled Banner very Pavlovian or just a sap for the USA. I love Jessie Norman's, "La Marseillaise" but Whitney Huston nails our National Anthem. Jesse gives me goosebumps! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Jesse Norman French Bicentennial
I always enjoyed the symbolism/honor of the French having Jessie sing the Marseillaise on the 200th anniversary. |
Whitney Houston certainly did a bang up job on the National anthem. Loved it. Call me old fashioned, but I don't like the extremes singers go to show off their range while singing it. |

It gets a bit complicated over here: While England does not have an official national anthem, there are many songs which are considered to fill such a role. In most of the national sporting fixtures 'God Save the Queen' is used. At the Commonwealth Games, Team England uses "Jerusalem" as the victory anthem from 2010 onwards. At international football matches, England uses "God Save the Queen" as the national anthem. Then of course the Scots, Welsh and Irish have their own anthems, too. The most popular current choice at public events seems to be 'I Vow to thee my Country'. Perhaps it goes to show that patriotism isn't necessarily based around one anthem, one flag or one constitution - we don't have one of those, either :) Best wishes |
I think it's fine to play the national anthem, and that of a visiting team, before a professional sporting event, or even at a college level event, I suppose... even high school sporting events are okay... but lower academic levels is a little much, I think. It's kind of like making a spectacle about god or religion at a public sporting event, on camera, and making the entire world watch and listen... there are simply too many belief systems and non-believers, so too many people are either left out, not represented, don't care, or are even offended. Grabbing the microphone during a post-win interview to praise some entity that not everyone is in line with kind of makes athletes look a little strange, in my opinion. I have no issue with a moment of silence before an event for a short and silent prayer, if that's an athlete's thing, or a quick moment after a win... but do it privately, please. We don't all want to be converted or hear about some idea that it was a god that made them win. It was skill and team effort that gained that win. Out of respect, I will stand for anthems... but I won't go beyond that. It reminds me too much of a religious action. |

I've attended many Detroit Red Wings games with my son and there is RESPECT during the opening ceremony...always....it isn't until after the puck is dropped that the biting, kicking and cussing begins. :) |
I've been to hundreds of major league baseball games in cities all over this country and have never heard God Bless America played during the 7th inning stretch. That's a new one to me. Kids are never too young to learn about the national anthem, the words to it or the respect that goes along with it. |
I'm with Jodi--reminds me "too much of a religious action" intruding on a secular event--and everyone is forced to participate or at least acknowledge it. That parallel only goes so far, however. I think what really bothers me is what brushworks noted: "there is RESPECT during the opening ceremony...always....it isn't until after the puck is dropped that the biting, kicking and cussing begins." To me, the two contradict each other. Why would biting, kicking, and cussing be considered the national way of life that we should all respect? The two just don't fit together, and no one goes to a football game or golf match as a way to show they love their country. They go to find out who will win or lose the game. The national anthem played at an event honoring the military or at the inauguration of the president of the USA or something like that--now that makes sense. Kate |
God Bless America is always sung at Yankees Games 7th inning stretch. It's often by some celebrity singer. |
Joe - do you remember if they sang it before 9/11/01? I know at other stadiums they didn't before then, but not sure about Yankee Stadium. |
But no one has said when it should be played. When is a good time? |
Like I said above, The national anthem played at an event honoring the military or at the inauguration of the president of the USA or something like that--now that makes sense. I think it would be a better opening for Congressional sessions than a prayer--since mixing religion and government is so disturbing to many Americans. A patriotic song we can all agree on would give the appropriate formality to the start of the governmental season. Besides, then the singers would not have to all compete to see who can sing the loudest to fill the stadium with sound. It really bothers me when they strain themselves so hard. Kate |
Missed that. Any other time? I'm not sure what to think on this one. I realize growing up military is very different than the rest of the US. |
I don't think they did it before 911 at Yankee Stadium! Just YMCA |
Ha, YMCA! I much prefer that to "God Bless America". |
I can recall actually being on the receiving end of some mighty dirty looks when I've left my arms at my sides, or done something other with them than holding a hand at my heart while standing for the national anthem... as though it were required, or something. Imagine that... |
I have never put my hand over my heart during the playing of the National Anthem. Never noticed any dirty looks, but certainly possible I was oblivious. |

I have never put my hand over my heart Are you supposed to? Things I never learned, and will now blame on the LAUSD. |
As a Brownie and a Girl Scout, we were told to put our hand over our heart, and the boys should remove their caps. Habit for me, I guess, or brainwashing. |
- Posted by lavenderlver none (My Page) on Sat, Nov 17, 12 at 7:31
I think the hand over heart thing is optional, but standing with your arms at your side is always respectful. I've seen people stand up at the start of the anthem and continue on texting...why bother! |
According to US Code Title 36, Chapter 10, Section 171, the proper conduct during the playing of the nation anthem is as follows: During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed there. I seriously doubt that anyone would ever be arrested over not putting their hand over their heart during the playing of the national anthem but the situation is addressed in the US Code. |
Every patriotic heart I've ever known has always put their hand over their heart. This is a free country and citizens don't have to be patriotic or care, or participate. Some like to make a statement by being "different," too. |
And some don't feel it's necessary to go to extremes over patriotism. There's nothing wrong in being different... diversity is what built this country, and conformity smells too much like... several things I'm personally not into. |

I stand corrected, thank you jlhug. IMO, trying to instill an innate understanding of respect and gratitude for any goodness this country and more importantly, its people, have given, is an impossible task. Some people are so wrapped up in themselves, they can't conceive of the notion of honoring others in a recognizable manner. |

Any tradition handed down to display respect(flag at half mast)or Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag or God Bless America or any other display of bringing all together to incorporate a "unit" spells America to me!

I like hearing the national anthem at sporting events. It's one of the few times that thousands of unrelated folks get together, so it's a nice tradition. I thought I liked "God Bless America" after 9/ll during the seven inning stretch, but it's been going on waaaaaay too long. Time to bring back "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." |
Patriotism consists of more than attending ballgames and putting your hand over your heart. As part of our entertainment, such shows trivialize what patriotism should encompass. Kate |
"IMO, trying to instill an innate understanding of respect and gratitude for any goodness this country and more importantly, its people, have given, is an impossible task.

Lavender, You have summed up the majority on this thread quite succinctly and accurately. In the next couple of weeks...watch...they will be bicching about some aspect of the young in our country...and how parents of these young are pure trash. |

If it wasn't for sporting events, where would I hear the anthem? I think some tv stations used to play it before going off for the night, but they don't go off anymore. It's infomercials now. I would rather hear the anthem all night. I love the anthem. Brings tears to my eyes every time. Never was a scout, 4H for a time, but I don't remember the anthem in 4H. |

"If it wasn't for sporting events, where would I hear the anthem?" Follow me on Saturday night. On the Saturday night after 911: "From this day forward we will open every Saturday night with the National Anthem..." Always followed by "God bless America". 10 tortured, wasted minutes of my life. Respect? Don't show it and the Nazis will enforce it. Hay |
"If it wasn't for sporting events, where would I hear the anthem" October, Find a school, any school, and you can hear it. |
Gosh. I don't remember it ever being played at school either. And I went to catholic schools. Last time I heard it was a ball game (White Sox), 18 mos ago. I'll go to itunes and get Hendrix's rendition. |

I did not like the MK lipsticks. Bought them in a few colors. I find that they go on dry and they have old, musty smell to them, IMO. I will not buy them again. The colors are nice and timely, but the colors are also available in many other brands for the same price or cheaper.
This lipstick has no staying power whatsoever for me. I find it moving everywhere all over the lower half of my face. I tried the lip outliner and lip liners and neither really helped. I have had some luck using a lip brush with them. The scent doesn't bother me like it does some people.
Oh My Gosh! I absolutely L-O-V-E MK lipsticks! For years I swore by chapstick, but I haven't had need for it since I started wearing MK lipsticks! Awesome!
I just cannot get past the fragrance of these! It reminds me of when I was a little kid and my mom would have nasty-smelling/tasting liptick on and she would drink out of my soda and ruin it because of her lipstick. I wish Mary Kay would get new colors. They need colors that are not so bright and bold. I would love to see Mary Kay come out with sheer colors that do not have that terrible old lady flowery fragrance. Right now, the only colors I really like are Shell and Suede. So many of the others are bright and frosty. For now, I'll be sticking with NARS and Clinique for lipstick.
I bought this in Gold Dust and LOVE it. WHile I will not say it is the most moisturizing, it totally stays put. Would love to find more.
O no, ew, I know most people like Mary Kay lipsticks but they seem like evil to me, gross. It says moisturizing but it totally dried my lips out, I got a sample used like a fingertip bit and got the worst most craggly application ever. Ugh. I got it in Cranberry a semilngly pretty classic Chanel-like red. Dead wrong. When you put it on it looks bluish and gross, and very very very unnatural. Don't try this please.

Time waits for no man, and neither does technology.
That dash-mounted GPS you got for Christmas three years ago? It's already a relic.
Finally deciphered all the bells and whistles on your iPhone 3GS? Its great-grandson -- the iPhone 5 -- was born a few days ago.
Your new luxury sedan can parallel park by itself? Google has developed cars that drive by themselves.
But even in the sort of world where a couple of guys can launch a new mobile phone app and agree to sell it 18 months later for a cool $1 billion, there's still a market for the low-tech approach.
For three Knoxville, Tenn., entrepreneurs, building a business has meant leaning on technologies that date back to the 15th century, the Roman Empire and even (believe it or not) the 1970s. They're not offering lucrative stock options to their employees and they may not launch an IPO any time soon, but they're carrying a torch for a bygone way of life -- and in some cases, reviving it.
For instance, when it comes to the wedding invitation, there's still no substitute for the old-fashioned letter.
That's where Sarah and Ty Pattison come in.
The Knoxville couple own The Happy Envelope, a stationery shop that generates 75 to 80 percent of its revenue using a decades-old letterpress, the sort of machine whose basic technology has been employed for centuries.
With Ty handling the printing duties and Sarah the design, the company has built a client roster from all over the country. But even if you're familiar with the letterpress style, the Pattisons' work might not be what you had in mind.
While the company outsources some of its printing work for faraway clients, its downtown storefront is home to a Chandler & Price 10x15 platen press. Ty estimated that the machine was built between 1890 and 1920; the curved spokes on the wheel are emblematic of an older style, he said.
The machine does have some modern touches. A motor provides power, and instead of a traditional tray to hold the letters, Ty uses a photopolymer plate with an adhesive back that is attached to a type-high "Boxcar base."
So what's the appeal? A letterpress can print invitations on ultra-thick paper and the press itself leaves a texture, creating a tactile as well as a visual experience. "It has ... really nice crisp, crisp edges (and) crisp colors," Sarah added.
The seeds of Alice Sword's business, Kalligraphia, were planted at her childhood breakfast table.
When she was a girl, Sword's mother took a calligraphy class and while the two of them sat together, Alice would practice her own writing. She never had any formal training, but years of practice eventually led to a thriving solo business.
As the name implies, Kalligraphia specializes in providing handwritten, calligraphy-style lettering for envelopes, invitations and other documents that require a certain flourish.
While she learned the craft with a pen that used an ink cartridge, Sword now uses a traditional pen-holder and nib, which allow more flexibility and variability in the width of the lettering.
Time is probably the biggest challenge in her line of work, Sword said. "(Like) all things that are done by hand, it takes time," she said. "And there is only one of me."
Sword isn't averse to technology. There's a computer in her studio, and Kalligraphia has a Facebook page. But she knows that for clients, her work is valuable because it's done by hand.
"It takes some care. ... There's something about that that is appealing to people," she said.
Pat VanBuren was grief-stricken when her husband died, and she filled her time by socializing on a citizens band radio.
Using the handle "Main Mama," she got to talking with Bill Mincey, a divorce who went by the radio name of "Whittler." Eventually, Bill got Pat's phone number from a fellow CB enthusiast, and in May 1986 they went on a date. They've been together ever since.
The couple operate Bill's CB Sales, selling a wide variety of items for the CB community.
The CB craze has waxed and waned over the years, and the store has adjusted its approach to marketing to match the times. At one point the operators mailed a flier to members of a CB club, and they later shifted to eBay.
These days the operation is strictly word-of-mouth, and it relies partially on stocking items that aren't available at truck stops, such as a 102-inch "steel whip", a long, flexible antenna resembling a fishing pole.
In their heyday, CB radios played a similar role to 21st century social media tools like Twitter or Facebook, giving users an opportunity to socialize with their friends or listen in on the conversations of strangers.
But earning a living from the devices isn't so easy anymore. Asked how business was, Pat replied, "slow," and Bill said "terrible."
Citizens band broadcasting may yet enjoy a future resurgence, but even if it doesn't there's no denying its impact on the past.
As Bill put it, "I'd have never known (Pat) existed if it hadn't been for the CB radio."

The Republican candidates have shown a stunning lack of sense when it comes to their statements on international relations. As you may recall, at one of the 87 Republican debates, Rick Perry claimed that Turkey is run by islamic terrorists and questioned its membership in NATO. The comment unsurprisingly prompted outrage in Turkey, and the U.S. State Department was left trying to distance itself from the comments, as it sought Turkey's cooperation in various crises in the middle east.
Never content to be outcrazied, Mitt Romney has gone after an even more significant ally:
Either with nuclear arms discussions or it has to do with missile defense sites and what he did with nuclear weapons already as well as the new treaty and to reduce our missile defense sites in Alaska, from the original plan. These are very unfortunate developments and if he's planning on doing more, if he has things he's willing to do, this is without question our No. 1 geopolitical foe, they fight every cause for the world's worst actors, the idea that he has more flexibility in mind for Russia is very, very troubling indeed.
To be clear, I think it's fair game to criticize foreign policy of the President you're trying to unseat. But you've got to make those criticisms without interfering in the President's ability to actually conduct foreign policy. Romney may even be right about Russia for all I know (they've certainly been an obstacle to getting Assad out of power in Syria) but he should keep his mouth shut about it unless and until he's in office. Or, as former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe and former Democratic presidential candidate Wes Clark put it:
Surely one lesson of the 21st century is that America's security in the world depends on making more friends and fewer enemies. Governor Romney's statement sounds like a rehash of Cold War fears. Given the many challenges we face at home and abroad, the American people deserve a full and complete explanation from Governor Romney. Good policy does not come from bumper sticker slogans. The next president is going to have to take America forward, out of war, and into other challenges. The rekindling of old antagonisms hardly seems the way to do it.
And guess what? If Romney takes the White House, expect a much softer line from him on Russia, once he no longer has to invent criticisms of President Obama out of thin air.

Ballmer made the comments in an interview with French publication Le Parisien, which was incorrectly translated to English by several publications and reported by others including TabTimes.
In fact, Microsoft told Bloomberg, Ballmer was talking about a modest approach to supply and distribution, but not sales of the Surface.
"When asked about Surface, Steve's use of the term 'modest' was in relation to the company's approach in ramping up supply and distribution of Surface with Windows RT, which has only been available via our online store and Microsoft retail and holiday stores in the U.S. and Canada.," Microsoft said in the statement.
"While our approach has been modest, Steve notes the reception to the device has been 'fantastic' which is why he also stated that 'soon, it will be available in more countries and in more stores.'"
The Surface tablet certainly garnered its share of buzz following Microsoft's splashing launch event in New York last month for the device as well as Windows 8 including crowds at a number of Microsoft Stores when it first went on sale.
A number of positive reviews have noted the Surface's inclusion of Office and other productivity features, such as the choice of keyboard covers, make it a worthy competitor to the iPad in the enterprise.

Court Victory Gives Blogger Same Speech Protections As Traditional Press
cold fjord (826450) writes | 1 year,11 days
cold fjord (826450) writes "Reuters reports, " A blogger is entitled to the same free speech protections as a traditional journalist and cannot be liable for defamation unless she acted negligently, a federal appeals court ruled on Friday. Crystal Cox lost a defamation trial in 2011 over a blog post she wrote accusing a bankruptcy trustee and Obsidian Finance Group of tax fraud. A lower court judge had found that Obsidian did not have to prove that Cox acted negligently because Cox failed to submit evidence of her status as a journalist. But in the ruling, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said Cox deserved a new trial, regardless of the fact that she is not a traditional reporter. "As the Supreme Court has accurately warned, a First Amendment distinction between the institutional press and other speakers is unworkable,"

September 15, 2009, 8:00 AM
By Luke Dittrich
Sheryl Nields
The new movie comes up only once. The usual setting. Dinner. Beers.
Gary White's soliloquizing about WaterCredit, explaining, in his complicated and authoritative way, the nuts and bolts of getting commercial banks to sign on to a sort of lending scheme they'd never touched before. When White finishes his discourse, Damon waits a beat, gives a curt nod, and says, smugly, "So there." Then, lest he be considered an asshole, he explains that the line is a sort of catchphrase from his upcoming movie, The Informant! Warner Brothers sent him the final cut a few days ago, so it was on his mind.
"I almost brought it so you could see it," he says, "but then I thought, what the hell."
It's a fine line. Like, Damon doesn't want to participate in any more celebrity profiles of the meet-for-lunch-at-the-Chateau-Marmont-and-try-to-dodge-questions-about-his-personal-life sort. He thinks they're a waste of time, of energy. "People don't decide to see or not see the latest George Clooney movie just because they see or don't see him on the cover of a magazine," he says. So he doesn't want to talk about the movie.
But he's willing to let a reporter tag along with him to India. He'll offer himself up, but only as part of a package deal, one that includes Gary White. He'll sell out, but only to get something he wants. And right now, what he wants to do is help White and Water.org.
So exactly how much can he help?
The day after the merger was announced, Web traffic at Water.org quintupled. Many of those hits obviously came from people for whom the main draw was Matt Damon's name: The top two referring Web sites were HuffingtonPost.com and PerezHilton.com. Hits, of course, don't necessarily translate directly into dollars. Still, Water.org's chief community manager anticipates that this coming year's Web donations will increase fourfold. White himself believes Water.org will triple its annual revenue over the next three years, from the $5.5 million it collected in fiscal year 2008 to more than $15 million in fiscal year 2011.
But it's all still a bit of a work in progress. Damon's still not sure what works best, where his celebrity capital has the most leverage, what can make the most difference without turning him into a parody or hurting his cause. He tries all sorts of things. Just two days before flying to India, Damon was in Vegas, playing in Don Cheadle's Ante Up for Africa charity poker tournament. Three days before that, he was in L. A., filming a guest spot on Entourage in which he tries to hector the star into supporting OneXOne, another real-life charity Damon backs. A few weeks before that, he posted a letter on the One.org Web site, asking readers to sign an online petition related to a clean-water bill making its way through Congress. Each of the initiatives hinges on the same strategy: using Damon's face to illuminate a problematic part of the world we might normally remain in the dark about. It's like surfing to TMZ.com and then having UNICEF.org hijack your browser.
He knows that a lot of people, when they see the footage from this trip, the clips of him squatting in an Indian classroom or touring some formerly desiccated slum, they'll just roll their eyes. Another Hollywood saint, indulging his messiah complex.
But it doesn't really matter how many eyes roll.
What matters is that some won't.

is this the eddy slim denim?
is this the eddy slim denim?
No. The Slim and the Edddy are two different styles. The Eddy has a smaller leg opening and a slimmer (but not skinny) look throughout. Personally, I LOVE the Eddy fit. I have two pairs and they're the only jeans I will wear currently. Please check out the Eddy (and my reviews) here:
One other thing... the images in this website are pure embarrassment. The Eddy denim is neither a nut hugger (as shown on the HF Black) or balloon pants (as shown on the Raw color). I have both colors. They will look great in real life!
Not slim leg opening
I thought the leg opening would be slimmer... Waist and thigh was right on, but leg opening was not the same. Dont buy if you want a slim jean all the way through.


text: With our high profile local management and diverse international business profile we can comfortable say that we are capable of opening to you the doors of opportunity in the UAE markets. At present we are almost dedicated to find and create opportunities for our present and future partners in the World and the region in two of the fastest growing sectors in the UAE market, the Hospitality sector and the Real Estate sector.Why real estate? With yields ranging from 7-12%. Which is higher than most international markets, real estate continues to be the most attractive investment opportunity in the UAE. Moreover Dubai property market in particular continues to absorb the supply of property that emerges. Real estate is now a large part of the dynamic UAE economy and will help to sustain the booming economy in any oil price downturn. It's also worth mentioning that much of the real estate investment come from equity sources and not borrowed money. So, it is unlikely to dry up and leave property projects standing still.Also, the boom in real estate investments in the UAE led to massive growth in allied sectors such as the paint industry, interior design, kitchen, home technology, arts and crafts, garden and landscaping. Property and festive gifts and decorations in addition to many other sectors.Why Hospitality? With its fast paced growth in all sorts of trade and business the UAE became the destination for any seekers of business or leisure opportunities. The feverish race between investors in the market to build the tallest or the biggest and the most wondrous landmarks keeps the world's eyes turned to the UAE. Also, the services sector is always driving for perception when it comes to hosting tourist or conventioneers.

Propelled by Romero's persistence, Sick not only played out, but before long, the band headed into the studio and recorded a powder keg of a debut, Just Deal With It, released only on cassette. The cuts ranged from the heavy-handed "Innocent Child," which dealt with kids caught in the crossfire of gang violence, to the groove-oriented "Just Deal With It" to the spastic fun of "Whip It," a Devo cover. But as Sick was getting ready to deal Just Deal With It, Romero checked himself into rehab.
That kind of put a "bump in the road," he says, adding that it was just the start of a saga that would make a great Behind the Music special, complete with jail, marriages, divorces and rehab. It turned out that Romero was a little too good at emulating his heroes, and his life began to imitate his art.
"That was my first stint in rehab, which I needed, but the timing couldn't have been worse," he says. "But the guys were really cool. No one freaked out, because at the time, the band was a hobby and no one was serious about it except for me."
Romero emerged from rehab with a new vigor, more determined than ever to make music. With the buzz generated by the new recordings and the group's incendiary live show, Sick soon pushed past everyone's expectations -- everyone but Romero, that is. For him, it was never a question of if, but when.
Over the next eight years, the act that had started as a hobby became a force to be reckoned with, with a reputation as the band that no one wanted to follow. A few lineup changes -- Vinnie Levshakoff replaced Ortega behind the kit, and Pat Searcy was added as a second guitarist -- enhanced an already tight unit. And Sick's momentum just kept increasing, fueled by some good fortune combined with Romero's naive audacity -- when Sick first toured California, he walked into Perry Ferrell's office and asked to be considered for the Denver date of Lollapalooza, a request that, shockingly, was granted.
By early 1998, having played every major venue in town as well as most of the big summer festivals, Sick had accomplished damn near everything that a local act could without being signed. And then that May, Uncle Nasty, an old DJ friend, gave it an extra push. He'd been playing tracks off Just Deal With It at the two stations where he worked in San Jose and Salt Lake City, and when he returned to KBPI, he and Willie B. lobbied the program director to add Sick to the station's birthday bash at Red Rocks, opening for the Deftones and Megadeth.
A few months later, in an unprecedented move, KBPI added "Seize the Day," from Sick's new Carpe Diem, to regular rotation. Romero's phone was ringing off the hook, and major-label A&R reps were lining up in droves. But just as it looked like these local boys were going to make very, very good, everything came to a screeching halt. By that October, labels were merging and artists were being dropped left and right. Romero's phone stopped ringing.
Sick played on for almost four more years, releasing two more records, Slam and a three-song EP, but it never got back up to speed. And after an eight-year run, in June 2002 Sick played its last show at the Whisky A Go-Go in L.A.
Romero returned to Denver, dejected but far from broken. After weighing his options, he started sending demo tapes across the country in the hopes that someone might be looking for a frontman. Within a month, he'd been granted an audition with the Lynch Mob, George Lynch's band, and was in contention for the slot now occupied by Scott Weiland in Velvet Revolver, Slash's new outfit, right alongside Sebastian Bach from Skid Row and Buck Cherry's Josh Todd.
But then Sick rose from the dead. When Romero got the chance to play a radio fest in Nebraska, he convinced some of the band's members to reconvene for what was supposed to be a one-off date. Mike Crisler, the former Angellic Rage drummer, joined in the fun -- a fan of the band, he'd already learned all of the material. The gig went so well that Romero, the Greenwalls, Searcy and Crisler decided to give it another go.
And that's how Drug Under started up.
At first the new band was just Sick with a new name. But within a few months, all of the material was new, giving the band a fresh sound.
And soon, Drug Under had some fresh faces, too. Earlier this year, Aaron Greenwall burned out and quit playing music in order to spend time with his family. He was replaced on bass by Ron Chavez, who'd been in a band with Romero. Searcy also left the group.
Drug Under's latest lineup is now getting ready to release the band's debut album, Disconnected. Romero says the new material has gotten a much better response than any of the old stuff -- which is a little hard to imagine, since songs like "Seize the Day" and "Broken" kicked major ass. But listening is believing: Eric Greenwall has put a much larger emphasis on melody -- Disconnected could be his most accessible work to date -- while maintaining enough of an edge to keep the music in the realm of aggro rock. What the band lost with Aaron's nimble bass playing and undeniable stage presence, it's gained in Chavez's deft harmony vocals, which take the band into uncharted territory. And lyrically, Romero is still fascinated by his dark side. Some folks wear their emotions on their sleeves; Romero tattoos them on his arms, like Guy Pearce in Momento. Still, songs like "Change My Ways" suggest that this segment of his Behind the Music -- the well years -- may be reaching for a PG rating.
Drug Under isn't quite a year old, but Romero is confident it's going places. Just where, exactly, he doesn't know. He's taking it one gig at a time.
But in his office, he's already making room for that championship ring: a platinum record.

Does ice cool?
Name: Amber, Matt, Jason Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 1999
Does ice cool a drink or does a drink warm the ice?
Heat moves from a warmer body to a cooler body. Thus heat moves from the drink to the ice. When heat moves from the drink, it gets cooler.
Heat is a transfer of energy on a microscopic scale. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy (energy of motion) of the molecules present in a sample of matter. Thus, when heat moves from the drink, the molecules in the drink have a lower kinetic energy.
F. Brown in Tallahassee
Most of the cooling of the drink comes from the "latent heat of melting" which the ice absorbs when it melts... I think
jade hawk
Both of these answers are basically correct but I'd like to try to tie them together if I may.
Microscopically, the flow of heat between two phases is a massive transfer of kinetic energy due to molecular collisions. Now, if you dropped a block of cold aluminum into a cup of warm water, ALL of the heat that flowed from the "warm" water to the "cold" block would correspond to a "slowing-down" of the water molecules (cooling) and a "speeding-up" of the aluminum block's atoms (warming). Nothing else happens in this situation, because the amount of energy transferred is not enough to break the covalent bonds holding the atoms in the block of aluminum together.
Now, if the cold block is ice instead of aluminum, the heat that flows into the ice IS enough to break the hydrogen bonds holding the molecules in the block of ice together...or at least, some of it. Whether the ice melts completely will depend on how much water and how much ice there is in the glass...but some of it will melt, and this allows a cube of ice dropped into the cup to absorb more heat than the same mass of liquid water at the same temperature would...due, as jade hawk says, to the "latent heat of melting." So some cooling is due to melting, and some to equilibration.
- topper.

Hi all!
I was just wondering - have any of you ever rented the Friendship or a pontoon boat for a waterfront viewing of IllumiNations: ROE? Is it worth it, granted what it costs? I'm tempted to try to do this for my upcoming November trip, but I thought I'd see if you guys had any thoughts to offer.

Bowne High School's missing peacock is still on the loose, but school officials hope to have him back before the start of school next Thursday.
The elusive bird has been on the run in the Kew Gardens Hills area since mid-August, having left its home on the Bowne campus, located at 63-25 Main St. in Flushing. The school, which is known for its agricultural program, maintains chickens, alpacas, pheasants, a miniature horse and more.
Assistant Principal Steve Perry, who heads the agriculture program at Bowne, was away on vacation last week, but since then has been searching for the pesky peacock. "We think he got scared during a storm and took off," Perry said. "His wings were clipped, but must have grown back."
He said the bird can fly, but not very high and, like all peacocks, is a great scavenger. "He lives outside, so I'm not worried about the elements and he can get food on his own," Perry noted.
He has been working closely with Animal Care and Control of NYC to find and capture the peacock, without success.
On Monday, the bird was sighted at 69th Road and later at 68th Drive, where Animal Care and Control workers tried unsuccessfully to net him. The peacock got away and flew to a roof.
"He's in the neighborhood," Perry said. "Eventually, we'll get him back."

Thursday Thoughts
65August 30, 2012 by Katie
Hey everyone! How's the week going!?! I'm excited about today: although it's my looongest day at school (4 classes, 10:40am – 7:25pm which isn't even super long) it is the last day of the week for me!!! Wooohoooo for graduate teachers never scheduling their classes on Fridays! But don't feel too bad, I have a feeling I'll be spending plenty of the day reading for next week. This week was horribly overwhelming because 1) I didn't have all my books to get the reading done and 2) well, I was still in summer mode and just didn't' want to. Oops. Gotta kick it into gear this weekend.
Oh, but do be jealous of who I may go visit tomorrow:
And be jealous that I got to hang out with her and my brother for a bit while I picked up some of my school books that I had shipped to his apartment. She's fantastic. My brother is alright too.
Anyway, I'll stop jabbering and leave you with this week's Thursday Thoughts!
1. My Monday was a pretty good day with a good workout, my first class, and some successful shopping. However, when I got home I had this waiting in my mailbox, and my day went from good to super awesome. Thank you Clara!!!!
2. Remember how Molly loves to stare at bunnies? She also loves to stare at birds out the window…
3. I watched the movie "A Little Bit of Heaven" with Kate Hudson on Netflix, half Sunday night and the rest Monday evening. I literally sobbed the whole last half hour. SOBBED. That ugly, I can't even breath kind of sobbing. Several tissues were necessary.
4. Can we please discuss this Starbucks app?!? How did I not know about this!? You can just scan the app rather than your card! And this sure beats going online to figure out my balance.
5. Part of my kitchen clean up involved putting most of my bulk items in jars. I cut out the nutritional label and taped it on the back of the jar so I'd know what it was! I wanted to use a grease pen and write the name, but I haven't been able to find one!
6. This is what I think about all the 1Ls all dressed up for class this week:
7. Remember that shirt I bought Monday from Old Navy? Well I want another because it's insanely comfortable, but I can't pick a color! What color should I get?!?! (and don't worry about size, they had all of them in the store, although not on sale…).
8. Um, yes please? Not only is it cute, but it will keep anyone from stealing my iPhone plug in!
9. Because I feel obligated (aka LOVE) to include some sort of Harry Potter reference in my Thursday Thoughts post… (I've been listening to the 7th book again while running so it's fresh in my mind even though most of you have forgotten about HP in your normal lives…).
10. I liked this:
Have a great Thursday!
Okay, seriously. What color shirt?!?!?!?!
What movie have you watched recently? Any criers out there?

haha I love the HP cup! That is hilarious.
I want that Old Navy shirt!! And Clara loves you right back!
I like the Cool Multi colour!! I think the green will really compliment your fabulous hair colour.
Clara's drawing is TOO cute! And I always look forward to your HP Thursday thought. -
I wished everyone working at starbucks was like that; playing along.
I'm such a cry baby when it comes to movies too! A few nights ago I watched New Year's Eve, which is supposed to just be a light hearted chick flick right? Well I spent the last 15 minutes bawling my eyes out at the Robert de Niro storyline haha.
And I love the Harry Potter reference on the cup! Gosh I love those books. I think I'm still in denial that there isn't another one coming out.
I love that Starbucks app!
I think when I actually get moved into my apartment and stock up I want to put dry goods in jars like that. I love that idea!
I love that you have Cherry Republic jars! I love that company :).
I love the jars they look so cute! I may have to copy your idea. Also, wanted to say I'm glad you posted about going to buy new jeans. I'm at a healthy weight too but many of my jeans have become snug and I've finally accepted I need some new pairs in a size up. I'm tired of being uncomfortable!
i'm a huge fan of reds/corals so i always go in that family but i don't know since we have such different hair color. i love them all! i am seriously addicted to old navy lately, i don't know why. i feel like sometimes they're the best and other times they're super cheap and no good. this season is a great season!
Can I borrow that dog? I miss my pup. My parents had to put him to sleep a couple months ago : (
DYING at that starbucks cup. God, I wish that happened to me. It would hav emade my life. I love HP on tape, it's my fave book on tape ever. Do you listen to the British guy one? I love all his voices.
Molly is so cute in those photos! I like the light blue/green or the gray/black top! I need to look for that movie on Netflix… I haven't heard of it!
Last movie we rented was Hunger Games and I am a total movie/tv crier.
Can I steal molly? She looks like such a playful puppy! I love your harry potter reference on your starbucks order. I love harry potter! The movie that I ball almost all the time is the English Patient. Its so freaking sad that I go through a whole box of tissues. You should get the green striped shirt!
Ha! Love the Harry Potter cup!
I would go with the Cool Multi color one. I think that will look the best on you! Although I may go try on the black stripe one for myself…
The HP cup is hilarious. Love it!
I reuse jars too. My boyfriend thinks I'm insane for saving glass jars but it's so much cheaper than buying mason jars to store things in. Plus, I like the mismatch look and the smaller ones can double as tupperware for salad dressings!
Love the bulk to jars idea! Hope you don't mind me stealing that idea…
Whoa. Do I spy a purple option for that shirt? Obviously that's your best choice. I am also admittedly in love with purple clothes, so this may be swaying my decision
Storing dry goods in jars might be one of the best ideas I've ever seen. I'm going to start copying you. Space saving AND adorable! Win win.
I'm a weird movie crier. All those "normal" movies to cry in (Toy Story 3, Up, A Walk to Remember) don't get to me. I'm almost positive I cried in Wall-E, though, and don't even get me started on The Hunger Games (which is also the most recent movie I've seen, since I'm a crazy obsessed fangirl and bought the 3-disc deluxe edition DVD the day it came out). District 11 makes me WEEP.
i love the starbucks app! i use it to 'create' new drinks, too, when i need a special treat
for the shirt i really like the yellow or the purple!
i also totally need to do that for my iPhone plug in before i leave for college – then no one will try to take my plug!
Was the movie good, or just tear-inducing? Get the green and white! I love it!
I watched The Lucky One yesterday and didn't shed a tear. But then I watched House Hunters and cried like a baby when he proposed to his gf. I am SO weird.
PS i love the red shirt!
Molly has stolen my heart!! She is so stinking precious!! P.S I organized my pantry the same way, twinsies!

Once I get the new apartment organized, I want to do the same sort of thing with my pantry items. Looks so cute!
GREEN or red!! <–men like red just sayin.
LOVE that last quote!!! <3
Oh I absolutely love that little drawing from Clara! How cute is she!
As for the shirt…tough question! I really like the orange (or is it red?!) stripped one! Or the plain purple, as you do already have a stripped one! Really couldn't go wrong with any of them! I think I may need to make a trip to Old Navy this weekend…haha -
How did I miss this Kate Hudson movie?! I love her. Need to add this one to the Netflix queue! And yes, I'm definitely a crier/sobber.
Gdshjhsdjfhs Molly is so so cute! I think I could stare at her staring at bunnies and birds all day long. I'm beginning to think I need to move, just so that I can have a dog in my house.
As for the shirt, I love the orange and white stripe, but I think the green and white would look beautiful with your hair color!
Ah! I can't believe that you just discovered the Starbucks app! I sweeeaaar by it. haha. I'm not going to lie, I get free drink coupons every couple of weeks- my addiction is ridiculous.
And I don't know how I missed that Kate Hudson movie. It sounds really good! Thanks for the recommendation. (: -
HAHA I love the HP cup!! I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and often re-read the books. I have the audio books too and tried running to them but can't seem to get into it!
I love the HP cup!! I want that. I am a huge fan. And to answer your question, I am a huge crier. I can't help it! I get emotional at movies.
That Harry Potter cup is pretty amazing. I wish I had realized both of our obsessions toward Harry Potter, we could have really geeked it out that weekend at the HLS lol You are a lucky duck for having Fridays off! I have Mondays off, but I would rather go with Fridays for sure! Although like you, I am sure I will be reading the day away
I've seen that movie on Netflix and it is in my queue but I haven't watched it yet. I'll have to make some time to watch it this weekend. I'm definitely a crier when it comes to movies PS – I love the Harry Potter cup!!!!
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. STARBUCKS APP!? I need this in my life nowwww babes! NOW!
As for the shirt, I like green and white stripes! I think that's really cute! Heck, get them all girl. You love the one you have right?

Man proposes to girlfriend and records the moment with Google Glass [Video]
Posted By Briley Kenney On June 4, 2013 @ 1:36 AM In General Tech | 1 Comment
We've seen quite a few geeky proposals lately, between the guy who proposed with an Angry Birds level [2] and the other guy who proposed with a light-up ring [3] there's been quite a bit going on. As it turns out, there's more to come since this next proposal may be the first-ever proposal recorded with Google Glass.
Obviously, it seems like most of the original video has been edited, but that's okay. The 26-seconds played out in the video are certainly the most interesting as it follows Breon Nagy who proposes to his at-the-time girlfriend at Leeds Castle in Kent, England.
The video is aptly named "She said yes #throughglass." In it, Nagy makes a rather suave proposal to his soon-to-be wife before she declares "yes."
"If you were my queen, I'd buy you a million castles. Let's start our adventure together. Will you marry me?"
As Nagy announces that eternal question, he drops to his knees and presents his lover with a ring. It's romantic, it's sweet, but it's also quite geeky considering Nagy was wearing a pair of Google Glasses the entire time.
If you had a pair of Google Glasses of your own, would you consider recording the moment with them? I certainly would! If you record the moment in first person just like Nagy did, you can watch it continuously in the future and it will always be like you're right there again.
Congratulations Nagy and fiancé!

I need some recommendations on how to secure a 4x4 post to a patio made with Pavers. I believe the patio is set under a concrete slab. One thought I had was to drill through the Paver though to the concrete and drive a piece of rebar. Then the rebar will be fed through the tube of the metal post and I will fill the tube with concrete. Please let me know you opinion and or other solutions. Thx |

Find out if there is a slab down there.Find out what condition its in. If the slab can handle your building remove the pavers,bolt a custom steel bracket to it. Your rebar idea is a little silly. |
Not sure how you bolt anything into solid slab, usually have to remove concrete in area & put the bracket into wet cement with bolt down in wet cement. That's how we did ours but we did it when putting patio in. I think it's against code to add post later but maybe I'm wrong. We live in quake country so things need to be strong. |
What is the post for? Post for fence and post for patio cover are 2 different animals. |
The problem is that most slabs are only about 3 1/2" thick. You put a concentrated load on it, and you can expect it to crack. The correct way to do it, is to remove the pavers, cut a hole in the concrete, dig out to the proper depth, for your area, pout concrete, preferably with a post connector in it. Replace the pavers, cutting them around the post, and build your structure. |
If you have a 4"--6" slab, drilling a hole with an appropriate carbide bit in a hammer drill and using an expanding concrete bolt with a bracket to hold your 4^4 (buy at Lowes, Home Depot or your favorite HW store) is completely adequate for light uses. A good 4" long 5/8" diameter expanding bolt will be limited by the strength of the concrete, not the bolt. Drilling into dry concrete is perfectly legal. What determines whether it meets code-- more importantly, if it makes sense-- is what you are going to do with the 4^4. If you plan to support a significant load, the concrete slab is not an appropriate footer, you need to take off the pavers, cut out the concrete for an area sufficient to support your load, dig down below frost line and pour a concrete support. There are cardboard cylindrical forms that make the job easier. You should extend the concrete above the paver level and set in a 4^4 bracket. You then restore the base for the pavers and replace them, cutting out for the new post. This is to prevent rot from destroying your hard work. Whether the simple bolt method is okay or you need this more elaborate solution is entirely dependent on how you are going to use it. Will |

Ibrahim Harb – Birmingham
Two-time WBC super middleweight world champion Carl Froch is just six weeks away from the most significant, lucrative and potentially legacy-sealing fight of his life and The Cobra has spoken out over his current training regimen, his Olympic sparring and his desire to see Super Six World Boxing Classic final opponent Andre Ward, WBA titlist, knocked out. The two tussle on Saturday, October 29 at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall.
"The training camp has been tough as nails, with early hill runs following by intense strength and conditioning work at the world-class Olympic facility up in Sheffield under my respected trainer Robert McCracken," Froch wrote in his column at the Nottingham Post. "Many regard McCracken as the best coach in this country and Robert is also training all our top amateur boxers in readiness for the London 2012 Olympics."
Froch championed a clutch of domestic titles and won his British title outright prior to competing for the then-vacant WBC belt against Jean Pascal, whom he decisioned and cemented his standing as an elite 168lb (12 stones) operator. Despite remaining at world level – the pinnacle of the sport – since 2008, Froch has admitted it is the amateur lads blossoming under McCracken's tutelage whom are aiding his motivation.
"All this young talent is training alongside me in Sheffield… all of this youth and enthusiasm is infectious. They all want to out-fight and out-run you – and that spurs you on to work even harder. Sparring is really coming together now," noted the man who boxes with his fists by his waists and with a gladiatorial style. "At the moment I'm sparring middleweight amateur Anthony Agogo who is very good for sharpening my punches. Then I'm also jumping in with the heavyweights, to practice the power shots and improve my strength inside."
He continued: "Soon I'll be relocating my training camp to America, where I shall be using a local gym and bringing in some red-hot American talent to finish off my preparation."
Froch then mused on his chances come fight night. Ward has thus far boxed exclusively in California throughout the Super Six competition and, again in the final, will also benefit from remaining within his own country. Froch, though, intends on taking any home comforts away from Ward, as well as the necessity for the judges' scorecards as he intends on being the first to not only defeat Ward, but knock him out.
"The odds are stacked against me," said Froch. "I'm fighting an American, on his soil with American referees and judges. In a 50-50 fight I'm not likely to get the decision so I'll need to put on my very best performance to leave no doubt in anyone's mind. There is nothing that removes doubt like a knock-out – and that's what I'll be looking to do to my opponent.
"I'm going to box smart and pour on the punches when I catch him clean. In my last few fights I've played it safe, to minimise wear and tear for this moment. I've been hoarding all that cobra venom up for the final and I'll be looking to show the world that I'm the best 12-stone fighter on the planet."
