100 Ways to Make Your Marriage Rock. 19 Tools for Pinterest Pros. By Bliss Hanlin, Community Manager at eModeration (and Pinner extraordinaire) As Pinterest growth skyrockets, so follows the number of tools available to help us manage our content, understand our metrics, and be better pinners.
Below are just a few of the tools and services now available for use with Pinterest that are especially handy for brands, marketers, and Pinterest devotees. (Are we crazy for Pinterest? Little bit! For more from eModeration on Pinterest, try our look from a legal standpoint at the new Terms of Use going into effect April 6, our Everything Pinterest guide, and of course, eModeration's boards on Pinterest.) General Use Tools Official "Pin It" Pinterest Bookmarklet - sometimes the simplest answer is the best one.

There's no question that Pinterest is the hottest social network right now.
From your friends and family to celebrities, athletes and designers, everyone's pinning visually interesting content. But did you know that non-profit organizations are pinning, too? Non-profits, like other companies and brands, are flocking to Pinterest and utilizing its features to gain exposure. They want to show supporters more about their missions and how their work makes a difference in the world. We found ten non-profits that are particularly awesome at pinning.
Image courtesy of iStockphoto, mattjeacock. Pinterest's First Investor Explains the Secret to the Startup's Success. "I was Pinterest's first investor."
That's a sentence I bet you wish you could say. Here at SXSW, I find myself sitting opposite angel investor Brian Cohen who happily owns that distinction. In other words, he found, as he calls them, a couple of young guys from NYU (Ben Silbermann and Evan Sharp) at a business plan competition where angel investors "forage for new opportunities." The rest is startup legend. Cohen, who has a background in publishing and is now the founder and chairman of the New York Angels, wanted to talk about what it was like to work with Pinterest in those early days, how the idea for Pinterest blossomed out of a different project Silbermann was working on, and what makes the Pinterest team different and therefore successful.
"They listened," Cohen said — repeatedly. Where it All Started That listening started with a different product Silbermann was working on at Cold Brew Labs — an app called Tote. Challenges Bonus: 10 Creative Pinterest Board Hacks. Pinterest: The New Facebook For Lifestyle Magazines. While Pinterest's usefulness and staying power are still being debated, one thing has become clear: With its mostly female user base and emphasis on visuals, the online corkboard has become a traffic boon for women's lifestyle magazines, even if the site doesn't make it easy for brands to stand out.
"Pinterest is the perfect complement for a visually driven brand," said Gayle Butler, Better Homes and Gardens' editor in chief. Editors from other magazines like Real Simple, Martha Stewart Living and Martha Stewart Weddings echoed that sentiment, noting that recipe and "how-to" photos have proved especially popular on the site. A big selling point of Pinterest is that photos, whether posted directly from a website or reposted within Pinterest, lead directly back to the source material. "From an SEO standpoint, it's a boon," said Herndon Hasty, associate director for digital marketing firm iProspect. Pinterest also can serve as a trend forecaster. Everything Pinterest and Tumblr Users Need To Know About Copyright Law. It's hard to write a story or post about Pinterest and copyright law without at least one reader leaving a comment along the lines of "What about Tumblr?
" Indeed, comparisons between the two sites are fairly obvious: while Tumblr is more of a blog platform and Pinterest is more of a link-sharing site, both are set up to allow users to easily share content they find on the Internet, and both do a great job of displaying visual content - whether or not the person sharing that content has rights to share that work. But Pinterest, in large part because of its rapid growth and sudden popularity, gets the lion's share of heat when people talk about what social networks can and can't do when it comes to copyright. And that may not be entirely fair, according to copyright attorneys we spoke with. "The copyright policies of both sites are really quite similar, and the particular focus on Pinterest seems unwarranted in my opinion," said Timothy C.
Must-Know Pinterest User Demographics. It's no secret that the Internet loves Pinterest.
Now, most users are even spending more time, on average, pinning than they are on hanging out on Facebook. Here's what you need to know about Pinterest user demographics. With an average of 1.36 million users daily, the social photo pinboard has taken the web by storm, and top online retailers are following suit. Who are these feverish pinners? According to full service agency Modea, the majority are female mothers — 28 percent have a household income of $100k+. SEE ALSO: 10 Most-Followed Users on Pinterest Using stats from comScore and a few other analyses, full service agency Modea has put a few interesting facts about Pinterest into visual form with this infographic.
Pinterest's Got a Copyright Problem. Search results for shoehorn entertainment. How Pinterest Changed Website Design Forever. Even if you haven't ever visited popular visual bookmarking site Pinterest, you might recognize its design elements — which have been popping up everywhere since the startup burst onto the mainstream scene in 2011.
The site doesn't use traditional web building blocks. "It's almost like a window-shopping mode," says Khoi Vinh, the former design director for NYTimes.com. "It puts the ball back in the user's court," muses Andrew Beck, a web designer at Blue Fountain Media. "It flattens the information hierarchy," describes Jeff Croft, a web designer and co-founder of ebook lending site Lendle. Pinterest puts web content into sticky-note sized blocks users can organize onto pinboards that fill the entire browser screen. Though the hot Palo Alto startup is staying mum about its user numbers, one study found it drives more traffic to websites than Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn combined. As it has gained in popularity, so too has its unusual design. Consequently, the design caught on.
Designers Make Data Much Easier to Digest. They are computer scientists, statisticians, graphic designers, producers and cartographers who map entire oceans of data and turn them into innovative visual displays, like rich graphs and charts, that help both companies and consumers cut through the clutter.
These gurus of visual analytics are making interactive data synonymous with attractive data. "Statistics," says Dr. Hans Rosling, a professor of international health at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, "is now the sexiest subject around." Dr. Rosling is a founder of Gapminder, a nonprofit group based in Stockholm that works to educate the public about disparities in health and wealth around the world — by offering animated interactive statistics online that help visitors spot trends on their own. Hit the play button and an animated graphic, called Gapminder World, shows a constellation of brightly colored bubbles, each representing a different country, bouncing along over two centuries.

These are the must-know facts about Pinterest user demographics. via @mashable 13 'Pinteresting' Facts About Pinterest Users [INFOGRAPHIC] Pinterest: The Content {Source} Issue. In the world of blogging, a common courtesy among us is the practice of source 'crediting' if you choose to to use it within your content. With the recent phenomenon of Pinterest, many bloggers have been tripple-ing their traffic through the use of Pinterest 'pins.' Some bloggers are up in arms with this recent practice solely because their 'own' images have been the source of other bloggers' traffic success and/or creative ideas.
Amy Locurto of Living Locurto recently blogged about 'How Pinterest is Changing How I Blog and Feature Creative Content", in that "…the average person probably doesn't realize the amount of traffic people are getting from Pinterest. In the creative community, the referral traffic is higher from Pinterest than any other social media platform as of now. Bloggers could easily be using content 'without' crediting back to the original source which later can create a problem from the use of Pinterest.

College Counselor to Parents: Relax
Patrick O'Connor, The Christian Science Monitor
It must be September, because the parents of high school seniors are panicked about college. As a high school counselor, I did everything but give away free gas to get parents to visit me in the spring, but usually to no avail. Now, I'm buying my groceries in the next county because so many parents want to solve their senior's college woes in Aisle 6 of the corner supermarket.
The stress of applying to college is not lost on me. But unlike running from a burning building or scoring a Harry Potter book at midnight, stress doesn't help the college selection process. If you feel you're behind, the best thing to do is forget about the stress and start talking to two important college experts.
The first expert is your high school senior, the person who will be going to college. You may have missed the February college night for juniors and the college fair last May, but chances are your child has picked up more than enough information to bring you up to speed - plus, they know what they're looking for in a college.
Of course, this might not be easy. Teenagers often seem feisty, uncommunicative, and embarrassed by your every move. Ask them about college plans, and you may as well be doing the Macarena at the bus stop. You need an approach that shows respect for them as independent people, interest in their opinions, and an understanding of their values.
So go buy a pizza.
Sitting down with a pizza creates a common interest (food), a relaxed atmosphere, and something to do in the event of an awkward silence. In the middle of their second slice, tell them you want to help them apply to college, but you don't want to hassle them. As a result, you'll sit down once a week for 20 minutes to talk about college, and unless they bring it up some other time, that will be it.
The 20-minute weekly meeting is the only time you nudge them about application deadlines (NOT on Friday night as they're heading to the game), and ask how college plans are going. In return, they use the meeting to ask if you wrote the check for the application to State U., or why you asked that embarrassing question when you visited a college last week. You get the information you need, they don't feel you're invading their turf, and everyone gets a snack. Voila!
After about two or three of these meetings, you're ready to meet the second expert, your child's school counselor. If you haven't met the counselor before, don't worry; the goal here is to make sure everyone knows how to help your child find a college that's right. …

July Swanky Stamper
Maggie Haas Swanky Stamper for July I'm loving this card by Maggie Haas. It's simple, but surprisingly complex. She uses the whale from Whale of a Time for this sweet little card. And her use of Aqua, Yellow and Kraft is fresh and unexpected, as is her placement of the sentiment on the tag and twine. I love to be surprised and Maggie constantly surprised me with this card. Check out my blog for some of the other great cards that came in this month |

First comes love, then baby, then marriage!
Kate Hudson is engaged to Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy, her beau of nearly a year and father to her unborn child. Hudson, 32, made the surprise announcement on Wednesday's "Today Show."
Interviewing Hudson (who's promoting her flick, "Something Borrowed"), Matt Lauer noticed a giant, square-cut engagement ring on her finger.
Confirming her engagement for the first time, Hudson said, "I haven't really announced it, I was waiting for someone to notice."
Although mum on details, the Oscar-nominated star said the "very romantic" proposal went down about a week ago in New York.
It will be the second marriage for Hudson, who divorced the Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson in 2006 after nearly six years. The amicable exes share son Ryder, 7.
Us Weekly was first to break news of Hudson's second pregnancy back in January.
Her marriage news comes as something of a surprise. Although she and Bellamy, 32, have been inseparable since her pregnancy announcement, she said in January, "I don't feel it necessary to get married ... I already have one child, and have had one divorce, so it is not necessarily the golden ticket. I just want to be happy."
Bellamy gushed of his love while accepting a Grammy in February, thanking "my beautiful pregnant girlfriend" at the podium in L.A.
The duo reportedly met years ago in Australia, but didn't become romantic until late spring 2010 -- finally stepping out together in June.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Police nab pair in connection to shots fired in West Kildonan
Street-gang feuding was the sinister backdrop to brazen gunplay which saw the same West Kildonan home shot up twice in 24 hours.
"It looks like that's an aggravating factor in this case," Det. Sgt. Natalie Aitken said Wednesday.
Police announced the arrests of two men, Tamim Ahmadzai, 18 and Hamed Shahnawaz, 24, in connection to early-morning shootings Tuesday and Monday that left the exterior of a Seven Oaks Avenue home riddled with bullet holes.
There were no reported injuries.
Tuesday's shooting occurred just after 4 a.m.
An SUV was seen leaving the immediate area, police said. Soon after, police spotted a 2007 Ford Explorer near Portage Avenue and Vaughan Street.
As police approached, the SUV sped off.
Officers pursued the vehicle as it wended towards the city's south end.
It crashed into a snowbank near Bairdmore Boulevard and Beaufort Crescent and two men inside fled.
The suspects were arrested after a foot chase and with help from a police dog. Each were checked out in hospital and then taken to the Public Safety Building.
Ahmadzai is accused of flight from police, an indication he was behind the wheel at the time of the chase.
Each suspect faces more than thirty charges stemming from Tuesday's shooting and a similar event at the same home around the same time Monday morning.
Some of the offences the men now face carry with them years-long mandatory minimum prison sentences upon conviction.
Police declined to identify the gangs they believe are involved in the feud.
Investigators don't believe a Tuesday morning shooting in the 100 block of Walnut Street is related, said Aitken.

Mideast: "Throughout the Middle East, we must harness American power to reinvigorate American diplomacy," said candidate Obama. We can now add Saudi Arabia to the list of his diplomatic failures as president.
The Middle East is gradually falling apart with Barack Obama as leader of the free world.
America's relationship with Israel has never been worse. Our key ally Egypt was propelled into revolution and its future remains unclear after our president's "New Beginning" speech at Cairo University in 2009. That address also helped ignite destabilizing upheavals in Tunisia, Libya and Yemen, plus uprisings or demonstrations in a half-dozen other Islamic countries.
The direct, top-level contact Obama now has with the Iranians, after four and a half years of dithering, seems to be a new, dangerous chapter in the Islamofascist state's deft string-along of the West.
The president's "tough-minded diplomacy, backed by the whole range of instruments of American power — political, economic, and military" that then-Sen. Obama, writing in Foreign Affairs in 2007, promised "could bring success even when dealing with long-standing adversaries such as Iran and Syria," has ended up about as successful as an ObamaCare enrollment.
Instead of our "we should not hesitate to talk directly to Iran" approach making miracles, it has just this week led to what another key friend in the Mideast, Saudi Arabia, calls a "major shift" for the worse in relations between the U.S. and the kingdom where Mecca sits.
The Persian Gulf War of 1990-91 and the 2003 invasion of Iraq are only two examples of Saudi Arabia's invaluable strategic assistance to the U.S. And, of course, our economy depends on the U.S. having good relations with the largest oil exporter in the world.
In executing the massive troop deployment preceding the Gulf War, then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney recounts in his memoir "In My Time" that "it became clear pretty quickly that if the Saudis didn't agree to accept U.S. forces, we had few options."
The U.S. couldn't be seen launching military action against an Arab country from Israeli territory, and Turkey was so far away that it would have posed "real logistical challenges."
Cheney also told how Saudi Arabia's then-U.S. ambassador, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, told him that "It's very important that you demonstrate to the king (the late King Fahd) that you are serious" that the U.S. would deploy a large force fast. Bandar had reminded Cheney that, after the overthrow of the shah of Iran, President Jimmy Carter sent the Saudis an unarmed squadron of F-15s, "humiliating the Saudis and leaving a bitter memory of America as an unreliable ally."
Cheney took Bandar's advice and Fahd was convinced after just one briefing from Cheney and Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf. That's real "tough-minded diplomacy."
Barack Obama has spent four and a half years showing Fahd's successor, King Abdullah, that he is not serious or clear-minded or competent when it comes to the Middle East and its many threats.
And so that same Prince Bandar, now director general of the Saudi Intelligence Agency, according to news reports this week, told European diplomats that Saudi Arabia's "shift away from the U.S. is a major one" because the oil-rich kingdom "doesn't want to find itself any longer in a situation where it is dependent."
Bandar's explanations reportedly range from Obama's Syria debacle to his move to get closer to Iran to his failure to join with the Saudis in backing the Bahrain government against a 2011 internal revolt.
In other words, practically Obama's whole Middle East policy — blustering and blundering in Syria, naively believing a summit can stop Iran from going nuclear, and fomenting the so-called Arab Spring — has resulted in a possible disaster in U.S.-Saudi relations.
To quote one of President Obama's favorite rallying cries, "This is what change looks like!"
Visible Boot: If you think "call waiting" is an incredible innovation, you're gonna love it when the FCC starts regulating the Internet like it's Ma Bell. For the rest of us, Thursday's "net neutrality" vote is a disaster.For 80 years, the Federal Communications Commission has regulated the ...

If they do, many 2016 voters will consider it a dirty betrayal.The Homeland Security/immigration amnesty showdown is, in the words of the Washington Post, "a ...
Election 2016: We understand the only Republican in the field of potential presidential candidates who hasn't pledged not to raise taxes is the presumed front-runner: former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. There's a family history here.George H.W. Bush signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, but lost his ...
Environment: One United Nations official has admitted that the global warming scare is an effort to destroy capitalism. But that's only part of the motivation. For others, as a second U.N. official confirms, it's a religious experience.Alarmists started to come clean at a news conference in ...

World Architecture Festival 2012: Heart of Doha, a 31-hectare masterplan designed by AECOM for the gateway to Inner Doha has been named Future Project of the Year at the World Architecture Festival in Singapore.
Currently under construction, the project will form a gateway to the city that connects it with the waterfront, as well as with existing and proposed airports.
The architects studied historical aerial photographs of Doha to develop a layout that follows traditional Qatari street patterns, then superimposed it over an orthogonal grid to allow room for modern day vehicles.
The combination of these two layouts, which the architects refer to as "the grid and the lattice", will create a complex web of streets that respect the Arab/Islamic vernacular, and are also oriented to capture the north-westerly sea breeze.
We've also announced winners for World Building of the Year and Landscape of the Year, as well as all the category winners from day one and day two.
Dezeen is media partner for the World Architecture Festival, which is taking place at the Marina Bay Sands hotel and conference centre. You can follow all our coverage of the event here, including a series of movies we filmed with programme director Paul Finch in the build-up to the event.

Justin Larson didn't land an NHL contract, but the veteran forward did make some capital gains during his time in Washington, D.C.
The leading scorer in Canadian university hockey last season returned to the University of Waterloo Warriors this week with renewed enthusiasm.
His time at the Washington Capitals' main training camp with Ovechkin and Co. was still a good investment.
And Larson is ready to spread the wealth.
"Justin and I have already spoken about it," said Warriors head coach Brian Bourque.
"He is determined to come back and keep the same sort of pace they kept at the NHL camp — and hopefully we'll keep that pace going here all season."
If Larson, named an all-Canadian last season, was disappointed by not sticking with the Caps, he didn't sound like it.
The undrafted Larson, 23, earned an invitation to the Caps' summer development camp, their rookie camp, and then was summoned to their main camp this month.
And he does have other irons in the fire.
The Warriors are eager to set sail for a return trip to the national championship tournament in March, and the six-foot-four, 225 pounder will have to be a big part of their voyage.
Larson, who had 45 points in 28 games last season, led the Warriors to a rare conference championship and their first excursion to nationals in 16 long years.
The former Peterborough Pete, a late-bloomer on the ice, is also on track to enter law school if hockey doesn't pan out.
"I'm happy to be back. (Going to nationals) was a huge step for our team last year and we all want to have that same opportunity again," said Larson, of Buckhorn, Ont.
He's back in his legal studies program at UW, about a week behind in his class work, but no worse for the wear.
"If I didn't get an NHL contract, there was no way I'd leave school," he said on Wednesday.
The Warriors are in London, Ont., this weekend for a two-game exhibition series against McGill and Queen's.
UW's regular season opener is Oct. 10 when Oshawa's UOIT visits Columbia Icefield.

Brodsky's latest LP, Emilyn Brodsky Eats Her Feelings, is out now.
Check out Satriani's custom JS25ART guitars — and every current Satch signature Ibanez.
Next week, Resonance Records will release Echoes of Indiana Avenue, the first full album of previously unreleased music by guitarist Wes Montgomery in more than 25 years. The release date, March 6, would have been Montgomery's 88th birthday.
Finding that perfect guitar can also be choosing a certain style of playing. Naturally, you should be able to play any style of music on any guitar, but the glaring truth is some guitars are better suited for certain musical styles than others. You wouldn't necessarily show up at a Wes Montgomery covers gig with a B.C. Rich, much less play Slipknot's songs with a D'Aquisto hollow body.

Somersaults, Finborough Theatre, London
Scots Cambridge graduate, James, has it all – or what passes for "all" in our materialistic culture. Having made a packet from computer games, he's the self-made metropolitan man incarnate, with a swanky Hampstead flat, a beautiful trophy wife and an art collection so impersonal that even the couches are a copy of those in Tate Modern. But then he has a little premonitory accident.
While serving drinks to a recently rediscovered university friend, he trips on a rug and goes arse over tip. What this upset principally makes him realise that he cannot remember the word for "somersault" in Scots Gaelic, the language he spoke as a child. As the financial crash robs him of his wealth, James returns to Lewis, where his father Sandy, his last link to the past and to his linguistic roots, is dying of cancer. When you are reduced to nothing, you always have your mother tongue to fall back on – don't you?
First presented by the National Theatre of Scotland and now receiving its English premiere in a well-acted but distractingly over-fussy production by Russell Bolam, Iain Finlay Macleod's talented, calculatedly fractured seventy-minute drama is informed by a bracing scepticism as it meditates on the role that language plays in our sense of identity.
David Carlyle's twinkly, charming James is repeatedly confronted by a posh, eerie bailiff-figure (Richard Teverson) who is making a clinical inventory of all his assets at the same time as James is struggling to remember the basic words for the sentimental heirlooms (his father's weaving tools) that, to the liquidator, are valueless.
But there's a creepy moment when the bailiff suddenly betrays his knowledge of a line from a Gaelic song – almost as if this apparent antagonist is James's alter ego and precursor in the stripping away of everything, even the taste on the tongue of one's childhood. And while the unsubtitled conversations in Gaelic with his father (rather stiffly acted here) are designed to communicate the intimacy that can't be reproduced in any other way, Tom Marshall's gentle, fading Sandy is refreshingly equivocal about the seeming rootedness that belatedly means so much to his son.
He had intended to live in New Zealand until called back because of his own father's final illness. The culminating debate about minority languages, addressed straight to the audience, suggests that these issues should have been woven better into the fabric of the drama. But this is a play that will continue to nag at one's mind like a word that is on the point of remembering.

Entergy to pitch expanded nuclear plant to NRC
Published: September 2,2010
Tags: electricity, energy, nuclear energy, utilities
PORT GIBSON — Entergy Mississippi will go before nuclear power regulators later this month to pitch its plans to expand the Grand Gulf plant near Port Gibson.
With approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the utility would increase the plant's output from 1,265 megawatts to 1,443 megawatts — a 13 percent increase, Entergy officials said.
Entergy officials said after the upgrade, Grand Gulf will be able to produce enough electricity to power an additional 53,000 homes round the clock for the life of the plant.
The average home uses about 1,000 kilowatts a month, company spokeswoman Mara Hartmann said.
The upgrade is scheduled for Feb. 2012 during regular maintenance outages, pending federal approval. Entergy expects it will take at least a few weeks, but has no definitive timetable for the expansion.
"It's a big endeavor for the station, because safety is our number one priority," Randy Douet, the plant's vice president, told The Clarion-Ledger's editorial board. "We're basically making what we have run at higher power."
The Mississippi Public Service Commission has given its approval.
Entergy Mississippi president Haley Fisackerly says the NRC will receive documents including the plant's design and various engineering data. Some new equipment will be needed, too.
The NRC is expected to take about 11 months to review the data.
Douet said he doesn't expect any problems because the upgrades are standard for a growing nuclear facility.
If the federal agency finds some changes are needed, those can be incorporated into the plans before Feb. 2012, he said.
The planned updates in 2012 will add about 1,500 temporary jobs in construction, engineering and technical areas, company officials said.
Grand Gulf has operated since 1985. The upgrade's cost would be split among the facility's joint owners, which also include Entergy's Arkansas, Louisiana and New Orleans subsidiaries.

Grove City College provides a liberal arts education in the classical sense. Education's first true purpose, and ours, is to provide a well-rounded curriculum that helps students see the broad intellectual landscape of ideas, people and events that have shaped, and continue to shape, our world.
Our founders fostered the talents of young men and women who would be committed to contributing to the culture in their multiple roles as citizens, consumers, spouses, parents, voters, congregants, employees and entrepreneurs. We celebrate both our diversity and our commonalities.
When Grove City College was chartered, a broad, Christian-based cultural consensus prevailed in America. By charter, the doors of the College were open to qualified students "without regard to religious test or belief."
The Grove City College Alumni Council is a body of alumni who serve in an advisory capacity to the College on matters crucial to the College's more than 25,000 living alumni. Each year, three Alumni Council members sit on the Board of Trustees.
Seven vice presidents at Grove City College lead the strategic directives of the College—from fundraising to curriculum, and from facilities and technology to the financial viability of the institution.
Grove City College believes in purposeful accounting of its finances. Most of the College's operating expenses are covered by student tuition.
Grove City College was the dream and lifelong work of the Ketler and Pew families. In 1876, Grove City College began with 13 students. By the turn of the century, the enrollment had grown to 660 students.
Harbison Chapel not only serves as the center of the religious life at Grove City College, but also as a beautiful wedding venue for brides and grooms from around the world.

Boxing: Khan goes back to school as Haye relishes facing a bully
Flawed lightweight insists he can stand on his own two feet. By Alan Hubbard
Sunday 05 October 2008
The thing about most boxers is that while they endeavour to keep their jaws out of the way in the ring, they always enjoy a bit of a chinwag. So it is with two of Britain's biggest drawcards, heavyweight David Haye and lightweight Amir Khan, who have been explaining how they hope to build and rebuild their respective world championship aspirations by taking it on those fragile chins.
In Khan's case not literally, of course. While he is prepared to absorb the told-you-so jibes that followed his potentially career-wrecking KO by Colombian Breidis Prescott last month, he has moved quickly to insure himself against further disaster by firing his Cuban coach Jorge Rubio and enlisting in the hardest school of knocks under the expert tutelage of top US trainer Freddie Roach. But perhaps more important is his revelation last week that from now on he is his own young man, firmly in control of his ring destiny.
"In some ways it's good that this [the defeat to Prescott] happened because people will now listen to me," he said. "Now what I say goes. Long before that fight it was me who said I wanted to go to America and train away from everything and all the distractions, it was me who said I wanted to train with Freddie Roach.
"But you have to listen to your management team, this guy or that guy, you get dragged here, dragged there, you get with a coach and you're not happy. You keep it all in. A lot of things were playing on my mind and I just didn't say anything until I got beat. I should have done this a long time ago and I don't think it [the defeat] would have happened. I take the blame for that even though I was told wrong by Jorge. Maybe getting beat was a blessing in disguise."
So Amir goes to Hollywood, though Roach's renowned Wild Card gym in Los Angeles is hardly Beverley Hills. Situated in seedy north Hollywood, it is a fistic emporium more redolent of the sweat science than the sweet science. Roach is a trainer much in the inspirational mould of Muhammad Ali's guru Angelo Dundee and the late Eddie Futch, who was his mentor. If anyone can teach Bolton's young boxer pup new tricks, he's the man.
Khan will spend six weeks re-learning the art of self-defence alongside Filipino Manny Pacquiao, a four-weight world champion and Roach protege who is preparing for his "super-fight" with Oscar De La Hoya on 6 December, the night Khan is due to begin his ring rehab in Birmingham. But the date and venue may have to be changed because of TV schedules, which would also allow Roach to be in his corner.
"The thing with Freddie is that he explains everything," said Khan. "He doesn't just work with the pads, he throws punches back at you. He's already shown me how to roll with the shots by bending my knees more." Roach took time out from a promotional roadshow with Pacquiao to say: "Overall Amir is a good athlete and a boxer with great potential. He had a problem but he'll get over it. He'll be training here with guys like Pacquiao and we've got to bring him to another level. He has to go back to his boxing and stop looking for a knock-out."
And avoid getting hit on the chin, something which Haye confessed he is actually looking forward to when he meets American Monte Barrett at London's O2 Arena on 15 November. "He's not one of those slow, sloppy heavyweights," said Haye. "I know he's going to test my chin, and that's what I want. Some people think I'll fall down and go to sleep but if I can't take a shot from a seasoned heavyweight like Monte Barrett, who'll come in with two guns blazing, I might as well call it a day."
Barrett has twice challenged for world titles and has been beaten by three of the best, Wladimir Klitschko (who floored him five times), Nicolay Valuev and Hasim Rahman. But he has won his last three bouts in under two rounds apiece and has just blasted out a genuine US heavyweight hope, Tye Fields, in a round. "I beat up prospects for a living," he warned Haye.
Barrett is one of those ghetto-reared boxers always equipped with a quip. His best line came when he said that at 37 he is 10 years older than Haye. "That's the same difference in age as me and my girlfriend. But the difference between her and David is that she likes it when I spank her ass."
Tomorrow it will be Ricky Hatton's turn to unveil a new trainer in Floyd Mayweather Snr, father of his Las Vegas nemesis, hired for the Hitman's 22 November fight with Paulie Malignaggi. Mayweather Snr uses more expletives per sentence than Joe Kinnear, and Frank Warren, who has just pocketed £115,000 in libel damages from the publishers of Hatton's biography, remarks: "I don't know what he can teach Ricky at this stage of his career except how to swear better."

President Barack Obama was received in the Middle East with the usual grovelling Saudi plea for help in taming the Israelis and an incendiary threat from Osama bin Laden that America will pay the price for his role in displacing a million Muslim refugees in Pakistan. It wasn't difficult to see why Obama warned the world not to expect too much from his attempt to "create a better dialogue" with Muslims.
Bin Laden was probably 1,300 miles to the north of Obama when the US President landed in Riyadh yesterday for his meeting with King Abdullah but, as usual, Bin Laden's words were a good deal more direct than those of the fawning Saudis. By his support for the Pakistani army's assault on the Taliban in Waziristan, Obama had "sown new seeds of hatred against America" and was "laying the foundation for long wars ahead". With his normal flourish, Bin Laden added that he "warned the American people... that they will suffer the consequences of his actions".
Could it be, perhaps, that Bin Laden is beginning to miss old George Bush and his "war on terror", that the ever smiling Barack Obama is beginning to stick in Bin Laden's craw, that the fractional improvement in US-Arab relations is beginning to be a little irksome – or that, by some awful mischance – Obama actually might tame the colonial ambitions of Israel? Ironically it was Madeleine Albright – writing with the usual pomposity but with almost bin Laden-like directness in the New York Times – who also spotted that no Obama speech, "however eloquent, can disentangle US-Muslim relations from the treacherous terrain of current events such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan..."
The Saudis, of course, wanted to talk about the Iranian – i.e. Shiite – threat to the Sunni world as well as the refusal of Bibi Netanyahu to bow to Obama's demand for an end to the Israeli colonisation of Arab land. Indeed, there are times when the Saudis speak of Iran with almost the same hatred as Bibi. They really should meet some time, although success for the 2002 Saudi peace plan – total Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 border in return for full Arab recognition of Israel – would probably guarantee that just such a meeting took place.
Obama's speech writers will have tightened up the US President's Egyptian address for today once they discover whether King Abdullah is still as keen on the Saudis' own 2002 plan. It will no doubt be neatly slotted into the "better understanding" speech which we are going to have to listen to in Cairo today when Obama addresses that famous entity, the "Muslim world". The trouble is that the Shiite-Sunni void – to be played out again this weekend in the theatricals of the Lebanese elections – is almost as important for the Arabs as resolving the tragedy of the Palestinians.
And, of course, everyone wants to be seen hugging the new American President. Grinning over his cardamom tea with the king in Riyadh yesterday, poor Obama is going to have to endure the embrace of Hosni Mubarak in Cairo today where the government press – almost as fawning as the Saudis – have been proclaiming that Obama's reference to the Egyptian president as a "stalwart ally" of peace proves that Egypt has yet again won its place at the centre of the Arab world.
Yes, Obama did actually call the old dictator a "stalwart ally", much to the disgust of the opposition in Egypt, but that is what you have to do in this part of the world if you want to get invited back. Waiting for the President's speech is almost exquisitely painful because, like the Arabs, Washington's policies still appear hopelessly divided. While infuriating the Israelis – much to the Arabs' delight – Obama continues to send his men into the graveyard of empires to beat the Taliban, shrugging off any responsibility for those one million Pakistani Muslim refugees whom Bin Laden so shrewdly spotted on the horizon. The only real question, perhaps, is whether Obama has asked himself the most important question: does the "Muslim world" actually exist?
