Friday, August 28
Yankee Stadium
Attendance: None
Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Robinson Cano slugged a three-run homer in the 10th inning, and the Yankees defeated the White Sox 5-2 to start a three-game series at Yankee Stadium.
Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon each hit a solo home run for New York, which has alternated wins and losses over the last seven games.
CC Sabathia tied a season-high with 10 strikeouts in seven innings of two-run ball. The burly lefty gave up eight hits and walked one. He had won each of his five starts to begin the month of August and was aiming to become baseball's first 16-game winner this year.
"I've been feeling pretty good, so I'll try and keep it going. It's been feeling pretty good and it has been for the past month or so," said Sabathia.
New York maintained a six-game advantage on Boston for first-place in the American League East with the win. Brian Bruney (4-0) pitched a perfect top half of the 10th to get the win.
Alex Rios and Gordan Beckham had run-scoring hits in Chicago's seventh frame, tying the game at two. Jayson Nix had a career-high three hits for the White Sox, who salvaged the finale of a four-game set with Boston on Thursday but has otherwise dropped five of six.
Mark Buehrle pitched well for Chicago, holding the Yanks to eight hits and two runs in six innings. However, the veteran southpaw remained winless in seven starts since throwing the 18th perfect game in MLB history versus the Rays back on July 23. He's 0-4 over that stretch.
Chicago fell to five games back of first-place Detroit in the AL Central and to third in the division following Minnesota's win over Texas.
Randy Williams (0-1) retired the first two batters in the home 10th but walked Hideki Matsui and Nick Swisher. Cano then turned on a 2-2 inside slider and deposited the pitch in the Yankees bullpen beyond the right-field wall.
"I was looking for something right in the middle and just swung the bat," said Cano. "It's exciting -- you run around the bases, you see the fans and your teammates after the play."
Leadoff homers by Jeter to start the game and Damon to begin the third staked New York and its ace to a 2-0 advantage.
"Obviously I got in trouble the first couple innings. I tried to go as deep in the game as I could and give up the least amount of runs," said Buehrle. "(When) you're up against Sabathia...especially the way he was pitching tonight. He had his A stuff. I just had to go out there and battle."
Sabathia allowed just four baserunners through the first six innings but ran into trouble in the seventh where the Sox scored twice to tie the game.
Jermaine Dye doubled to right-center to start the rally, and Carlos Quentin drew a walk. Rios then doubled to the right-field corner to plate Dye. Alexei Ramirez lined out with runners at second and third, and Ramon Castro's weak ground ball to third resulted in Quentin being nailed at the plate for the second out.
Nix kept things going and loaded the bases with a sharp grounder down the third-base line for an infield hit. Alex Rodriguez made a diving stop to save a run, but Beckham followed with a base hit to right, scoring Rios. Castro headed for home as well, but Nick Swisher's throw to the plate was in time and ended the inning with the game tied at two.
"Swish came up huge. That was a really big play," said Sabathia. "Alex's play down the line...those guys definitely bailed me out today."
Matt Thornton set down the Yankees in order in their turn at the plate, and Phil Hughes responded in kind by striking out all three batters in the top of the eighth.
Thornton was back out for the eighth and turned in another 1-2-3 inning, and Mariano Rivera relieved Hughes with a perfect ninth. Scott Linebrink worked around a one-out single from Jose Molina in the bottom half to send the game to extras.

Nairobi Westgate attack: 'Most hostages now rescued'
Most of the people caught up in an attack on a shopping centre in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, have been rescued, defence officials have told the BBC.
Col Cyrus Oguna said only a small number remained under the control of the militants, who are thought to be from Somalia's al-Shabab movement.
Some of those rescued are dehydrated, said Col Oguna. At least 68 people have been killed.
Col Oguna expressed hope that the operation would end very soon.
He said that a large part of the building was now under the control of the security forces.
In total about 175 people have been injured, including four soldiers who were taken to hospital.
There are reports that the gunmen are currently holed up in a supermarket. Civilians in the complex are thought either to be held as hostages or in hiding.
Confirmed victims
- Ruhila Adatia-Sood, Kenyan radio host
- Ghanaian poet Kofi Awoonor, 78
- President Uhuru Kenyatta's nephew, Mbugua Mwangi and fiancee Rosemary Wahito
- Canadian diplomat Annemarie Desloges, 29
- Two French nationals
- One Australian
- Three Britons
- One Chinese woman
- A second Canadian national
- One Dutch woman, 33
- One South African national
- Two Indian nationals
As troops continue to clear the building it was possible they would come across more bodies, the said Col Aguna.
A heavy military presence remains both in and around the shopping centre.
Late on Sunday afternoon, a police helicopter and another with military camouflage swept low over the shopping centre.
Correspondents says the full extent of the attack will not be known until the military is back in control.
The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse, outside the centre, says he cannot see or hear anything that suggests a "final push" by security forces who surround the complex is going on.
Our correspondent says that there is calm at the moment alongside a feeling that the crisis cannot last much longer.
People continued to escape from the building on Sunday.
'Appalling brutality'In a news conference on Sunday Mr Kenyatta said the country was united and strong in adversity.
"The criminals are now located in one place within the building," he said.
"With the professionals on site, we have as good a chance to neutralise the terrorists as we could hope for," he said.
He thanked those who had helped with rescue and relief efforts, and asked other countries not to issue travel advisories against visiting Kenya.
At the scene
It is extremely tense here as people wait to learn the full horror of this attack. That will only be known once the entire building has been secured.
Trucks full of Kenyan soldiers have been driving towards the mall. Eyewitnesses saw some of those troops entering the building in an effort to end this siege.
But with the government confirming that hostages are still being held, any move will carry great risk. Here, just 200m from the shopping mall, the Red Cross has set up a medical centre to help the injured, including soldiers, who are being rushed out in ambulances. Relatives are registering the names of their missing loved ones and waiting anxiously for news.
An attack by al-Shabab had long been feared. This shopping centre was considered a prime target partly because it is frequented by many different nationalities. This horrific attack has sent this city into shock.
Mr Kenyatta said his nephew and the man's fiancee were among the dead.
The UK Foreign Office has confirmed that three Britons have been killed, and says the number is likely to rise.
British Prime Minister David Cameron called it "an absolutely sickening and despicable attack of appalling brutality".
US President Barack Obama called President Kenyatta on Sunday to express condolences and reiterate "US support for Kenya's efforts to bring the perpetrators of the attack to justice".
The wife of an American working for the US Agency for International Development was killed, US officials said.
Prominent Ghanaian poet Kofi Awoonor - who was attending a literary festival in Nairobi - also died, as did a Chinese woman.
French, Dutch, South African, Indian and Canadian nationals are also among the foreigners confirmed killed, along with a dual Australian-British national.
Thousands of Kenyans have responded to appeals for blood donations.
'Non-Muslims targeted'Al-Shabab says it carried out the attack in response to Kenyan military operations in Somalia.
The group, which is part of the al-Qaeda network, has repeatedly threatened attacks on Kenyan soil if Nairobi did not pull its troops out of Somalia.
There are about 4,000 Kenyan troops in the south of Somalia, where they have been fighting the militants since 2011.
The attack began at about 12:00 local time (09:00 GMT) on Saturday, when the militants entered the Westgate centre, throwing grenades and firing automatic weapons. A children's day was being held at the time - children are among those reported killed.
Witnesses report seeing many bodies strewn round tables of unfinished fast food - with pop music left playing in the background.
Women were reported to be among the attackers but this was unconfirmed, he said.
BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner says a security source told him that at least one of the attackers was a woman who appeared to have a leadership role.
Some witnesses said the militants told Muslims to leave and said non-Muslims would be targeted.
Security experts are reported to have warned that the Israeli-owned complex was in danger of being subjected to a terror attack.
This is one of the worst incidents in Kenya since the attack on the US embassy in August 1998.

Nice new and clean, very spacious room. Grounds are tidy and look good, beautiful pool with nice ocean view. Only negative is that it was not in the main part of town, so we walked in when we wanted to shop etc. But don't worry, it's only 10 minutes away.

Wizard of Oz latest Google Doodle homage
Google celebrates the 71st anniversary of Wizard of Oz, the 1939 film that follows Dorothy's journey to the Emerald City.
Screengrab via Google
Google is off to see the Wizard.
Because, because, because, because, because, because its marking the 71st anniversary of the Wizard of Oz today with a new Google Doodle.
The 1939 film starring a young Judy Garland has enjoyed a love/hate relationship with fans for some time, showcasing a dream world filled with, among other things, a talking lion, a yellow-bricked road, ruby slippers, the Wicked Witch of the West, and, of course, flying monkeys.
Marking the 70th anniversary last year, the film was remastered and shown to audiences around the country for one night in over 400 movie theaters. The movie included a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of The Wizard of Oz, exclusive footage, home movie outtakes, rare interviews with the cast, and exclusive clips with Ray Bolger, a.k.a. "Scarecrow."
With today's Google Doodle, Dorothy and her comrades are pictured walking down the famous "yellow brick road" toward the Emerald City.
What newer fans may not know was that the film was based on a children's novel by L. Frank Baum titled "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." Baum would go on to write 13 novel sequels based on the Land of Oz. One such sequel, "Tik-Tok of Oz," published in 1914 predicts the use of wireless telephones.

Tips for IIT JEE Success #2 – Study Hard & Smart
Mar 01,2015 | 104 Comments | By: Quest Tutorials
You should have a well thought out methodology for your IIT JEE preparation.
Setup a Routine: The 1st step of smart and successful studying is to build a routine. A lot of our time and energy gets lost in deciding about the time and place of work. It is easy to procrastinate (postpone work) in absence of a routine.
- Place: Find a quiet place, away from distractions, with ample room to work. It could be a desk in your room, the dining table, or the local library.
- Time: Figure out what time of day you can concentrate best, and what works into your schedule. Use that time every day to study.
- Every day:Make a time table to study at the same place at the same time, every day.
Posture: Sit in an alert posture
We can't study effectively if we are not alert. If you are sprawled on the bed or sitting in a reclining posture, your body gets the message that it is time to rest. The mind stops working or becomes slow. Typically, the effectiveness becomes less than 25%. 1 hour of such study is equal to 15 minutes of study in an alert posture on your table and chair.
Do not fool yourself by counting such time as study. It is similar to us not being able to sleep while standing. When we are standing, the body gets a message that this is not the time to sleep.
Stay healthy : Achieving and maintaining high levels of performance (critical for success in IIT JEE) are difficult if an individual is in poor physical or mental health. It is important that one gets adequate rest, exercise, and nutrition.
Good mental performance can be achieved only with good physical health. Spending some time regularly in outdoor, physical activity like sports, running walking etc. is absolutely essential. Relaxation and concentration techniques of Yoga are very useful.
Organize study material: Keep all your homework material in one place, ready to be used. Keep it organized, and you won't need to waste your time searching for it when you get down to studying.
Decide upon the material that you are planning to study during your preparations. Most of us don't have enough time to complete even one set of IIT JEE course material. Collecting more than one set is a wastage of time. It also ends up confusing the student. Most of the coaching have very similar course material. A little better material does not make much of the difference. As a matter of habit, do the following in your study of the material*
- Complete the reading of the text books
- Writing and compile your notes
- Read and understand solved examples
- Attempt numerical problems
- Mark unsolved problems for 2nd attempt
- Take tests
- Revise
*Set yourself a deadline for completing each component and make sure you stick to it.
Distractions: Cell-phones, friends, SMS, TV, Video games, surfing, chatting are some of the biggest time drains. Most of the students lose maximum amount of time in these activities. These activities do not require much effort (unlike sports) and they can go on for a long time. There is nothing wrong in indulging in such activities for entertainment. However, it is important to watch the time that gets consumed.
Some methods of dealing with distractions are:
- Turn the cell-phone ringer and SMS alert tome to 'Silent'. Respond to your friends but only as per your schedule. This will send the message that you are serious about not being disturbed.
- Schedule a fix amount of time for TV, Video games, Internet combined. Typically, the time spent should not exceed 45 minutes. You can check your mail in 15 minutes. Watch your favorite TV program in 30 minutes.
- Fix just one day in a week for video games. Don't try to mix any of these activities with studies. This will spoil the fun in both.
Avoid 'Marathon' sessions: Marathon study sessions (longer than 1 hour) are the least productive way to study. Typically, most of us have attention spans ranging from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. The mind starts getting distracted after this attention span. It is good idea to unwind and take 10-15 minute breaks after every study session.

Snow is here - wolves on snow - PHOTOSHi!The first snow came - it was very thin layer, much less than 1cm, so it did not survive the night, but it still pleased me It inspired me to post some photos of wolves on snow - those shots are quite old Wohoo, this number of pageviews? thanks people, it looks nice - I wonder if I can make it to 1 000 000 until the end of 2012! it would be awesome
Guilty and adorable baby animals - PHOTOSHi!At first, thank you for very interesting discusion under my last journal - although I did not reply to every comment, be sure I read every single one! do not be afraid, I definitely do not judge USA and its citizens through some reality shows here in the Czech republic we also have really stupid shows and so, I think it is a world epidemy I always keep in mind that USA is huge country with a large scale of people of all the qualities some of you said they are ashamed to be Americans - I do not think there is a reason for it, as your country has f.e. many good universities or scientists!I had a bad day today. I got totally stressed (I can not say why - maybe because of my stupid diploma thesis?) and when I get stressed, I eat. Holy mother, I ate such a crap today, that I feel really guilty and if I did not feel a strong resistance against it, I would like to kick myself to threw it all away I ate some caramel cream I prepared for a cake I made, then I ate TH

And because amrodel is a lion lover and because baby lions were born in Olomouc, we could not have a better opportunity to meet! It is always a pleasure to see :devamrodel and we really had fun. It was fantastic to watch whole lion family - father imon was so desperate, because his babies wanted to play with his tail! He really seemed very unhappy about it.

Wonderful animals from ZOO Brno - PHOTOSHi,today I post some older photos taken by Canon Powershot S5 IS Enjoy!
Some personal news + wonderful animals - PHOTOSHi Thanks for your support, I feel better now The bad / sad issue with the stubborn person I love is not fixed, but at least it seems to improve. I am afraid it can never be absolutely ok, which makes me feel sad for that person. You know, you offer a hand, which is refused, while this person wants you to offer a hand, just in a different way, but he refuses to say which way. Mhm. As I say, it brings me down a bit, because this person is sad and I have always done my best to help. The bad thing is, there is no 100% solution. At least it seems to get better and I am grateful for it, although it is kind of difficult to forget some things which have been said and which somehow hurt As I said, the ZOO visit on Friday made me very happy to be honest, I came to Brno so tired and hungry, that I joined my family in a restaurant (TVD, you remember Richard, right? ) and ate incredibly big portion of pretty unhealthy food for dinner but I do not regret, it was delic

Amazing SNOW LEOPARDS on snow - PHOTOSHi,thank you for kind voluntary donations for free calendar (http://woxys.deviantart.com/art/Animal-photocalendar-2012-FOR-FREE-269531520) I really appreciate it! Kiriban winners will be featured next time, ok?Today I post photos of my favourite cats, snow leopards. All were taken in ZOO Jihlava with Canon Powershot S5 IS. I still have some sharp photos of nice moments, which I somehow "saved for better occassion". Ironically, I now do not feel like posting them, because although they are sharp and bright, they do not have SLR quality of shots taken with my SLR camera. There are also some very cute poses of baby snow leopard, so I might still post them later. I will consider it.Nah, bad mood here.And thank you for every , of course!
X-mas - being commercial :) fox, wolves - PHOTOSHi people!kiriban winner will be featured next time Today I want to be commercial A bit more than 1 month until Christmas - time to announce my stuff I really think some of those might be nice gifts - especially when it comes to print/gifts, which are not only originals with animal photos, but also USEFUL! Last year, I used donated points to order some of my stuff from DA, because I wanted to know the stuff I sell. I got 6 mugs and I was amazed with quality - I use them on daily basis and they are so cool! And I got also a calendar - and again, I can say the calendar's quality made me really happy, photos are sharp, colours are vivid and the format of calender allows you to note your own stuff into it So I am definitely not ashamed to offer my stuff - I believe it can really make people happy In this journal, I at first feature some of the stuff I sell - then I post a photo to show you, how those mugs really look like. The last photo set will show you, how d
Fantastic but less known canines.Do you know them?Hi Today I post 8 photos of not that well-known canines.Do you recognize all eight species? My fox mug is broken noooo! It slipped from the sink and fell down and although the mug is quite massive, it did nit survive. Hell!
Fantastic white wolves - PHOTOSHi!Nobody caughed the kiriban? What a pity Will, will, where are you?I do not mean any guy (although Will Riker is kind of cute ), but my own will - I can not get into losing weight again, although I now have the perfect chance to continue! I hate my weak will so much, how comes that I can not kick myself to continue, especially when I see it IS possible? :/ nah, I am so angry at myself. Go, stupid Woxys! There are still 20 kilos of fat which wait to be removed.Mhhhhhm, I really need to start, as even the current state makes me feel much happier than the state a year ago.Sorry for talking about this issue a lot, it is not easy, although I have already managed to lose some 20 kilos. And now other 20 should go away! It is just hard, because yes, it is nice I lost so much, but I am still so terribly overweight I have so many motivation clothes, but I obviously need a big kick to continue. GOOO, blonde, go but thank you for your support, you are awesome.Now so
Shame about fennecs + my favourite wolves - PHOTOSHi!I went to my beloved ZOO Olomouc to photograph animals yesterday - I needed a break from the thesis writing.I spent hour or maybe more with my favourite wolf subspecies - Iberian wolves. They were very active and even aggresive, snapping their jaws and snarrling a lot. One of them tried to catch a crazy rodent. It was fun and I got many photos for you But the bad news - fennec fox got a new light in their enclosure. It is a red light and it TOTALLY does not allow you to photograph, because the specific light ruins the texture of the animal's fur and there is no chance to get any photo I am sad about it, I loved this place for fennec photography now it has been lost... in ZOO Dvur Kralove, they put those foxes into very dark indoor exhibit, so this place is also lost and in Prague, you never see them... Hm... I am a bit sad about it, I would miss those little guys I also definitely need a new lens. My current one had troubles to focuse yesterday and I could not take a s

Losing faith in humankind XD + animals PHOTOSHi!Holy mother, as I keep saying, thieves come in waves Other art-thief just deactivated her account thanks to your report, thanks!The last drop was a guy who posted a comment under my last red fox photo, who was not able to understand that photos of foxes do not belong to Domecticated category, although those are captive animals and he was not even able to understand the description of the photo, which clearly states I did not take the photo in the wild. And he mistook domestication (which is a long lasting process of turning of wild animal species into an animal fully living or depending or serving to humans) to keeping wild animals. OMG, people those days!I have already met several people who did not understand that, so to make it clear:According to rules of DA:Domestic animals category: Photographs of animals that have been domesticated (tamed to live with humans), as either pets or livestock, and which depend on humans for survival.Wild animals category: Photographs of

And we're not disputing that. We're just saying John's, located in an industrial wasteland three miles away from anything else you'll want to do while in town, gives this town's best cheesesteaks a run for their ooey-gooey money.

The Reichserziehungsministerium (Acronym: REM; translation: Reich Ministry of Education.) was officially known as the Reichsministerium für Wissenschaft, Erziehung und Volksbildung (Reich Ministry of Science, Education and Culture).
The REM was the successor to the former Preußisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Kunst und Volksbildung (Prussian Ministry of Science, Art and Culture), creating for the first time in Germany a centralized and hierarchical institution in control of the Reich's education sector. In 1934, the REM took over from the Reichsinnenministerium (abbreviated RIM; translation: Reich Interior Ministry.) the supervision of colleges and universities in Germany, as well as research institutions like the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt (abbreviated PTR; translation: Reich Physical and Technical Institute.); today, the PTR is known as the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt.[1]
From 1 June 1934, the REM Minister was Bernhard Rust, who also assumed on this date the administration of the culture division of the RIM.[1]

Behind the noted 'troubles' a curious glint of benefits
My host was somewhat taken aback by my question. "What," I had asked, "are the benefitsm of the troubles here?" Ulstermen are more accustomed to articulating only the tribulations caused by the terrorists. But as evening settled quitely over the fairways of the Knock Golf Club outside our window, he and his friends spoke of the new- found concern here to establish a society where bigotry and fear were lessened.
Already, it seems, a new cohesiveness has surfaced, detectable only, perhaps, in contrast to other economically depressed areas in Britain, where no outside threat has yet energized the desire to dig deep for a solution.
It may still be too early to talk of solutions: For many here, the problems of the Protestant desire to remain British and the Roman Catholic desire to unify the island under one government remain irreconcilable, and no solution seems possible. To the poet Michael Longley, for example, the problem is intractable. Having just returned from a lecture tour of the United States, he is critical of Americans for being overly optimistic and, therefore, simplistic.
"They tend to think that if there is a problem and you apply yourselves to it you can solve it," he says, shaking his head.
But as Anthony Hopkins of the Northern Ireland Development Agency says, "You've got to travel in hope." And many here agree, even if they see no promise for a termination of terrorism or for any realistic political settlement emerging from the rambling governmental conferences and statements.
"One result of the trouble has been a counteraction of the wheel . . . going full circle and finding an urge for creative things," says Ken Gilbert of the Local Enterprise Development Unit. His group has seen "a definite upturn" in interest in crafts -- potters, weavers, woodworkers, lacemakers -- all coming to it for assistance.
Frank Murphy, drama director at the Northern Ireland Arts Council, says that over the past several years the arts have "generally improved" here. He points to the refurbishing of the grand opera house as a sign of newfound civic concern. The building, designed by Frank Matcham in an ornate Indian motif, was opened in 1895. Lying idle for many years -- and now next door to the much- bombed Europa Hotel in the heart of the downtown area -- its scheduled reopening this September attests to the local desire to return to normality.

Trainer Freddie Roach fires opening salvo, blasts Floyd Mayweather Sr.
Kevin Iole at Boxing 14 hrs agoSince their mega-fight was announced amid much fanfare on Feb. 20, neither Floyd Mayweather Jr. norManny Pacquiao have had anything bad to say about the other.
But Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, isn't as interested in playing nice.
In a telephone interview with Yahoo Sports from Macau, China, where he is preparing Zou Shiming to challenge Amnat Ruenroeng for the IBF flyweight title in Cotai Arena, Roach blasted Mayweather's father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., and said Mayweather Jr. would be far better off with his uncle, Roger Mayweather, working his corner.
Roach said Roger Mayweather is a better trainer than Floyd Mayweather Sr., and said he believes he'd face a more challenging battle when the welterweight title fight happens on May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas if Roger Mayweather were the one giving Floyd Jr. the instructions.
Ronda Rousey is never going to fight a man, so please STOP
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter 20 hrs agoAn online sports book set odds at 25-1 that Ronda Rousey would fight a man in a UFC sanctioned event by Dec. 31, 2016. Bovada could have set the number at 100 million to 1, because it's never going to happen.
Not now.
Not ever.
It's beyond ridiculous and is highly disrespectful to Rousey, the wonderfully talented UFC women's bantamweight champion. What Rousey is doing is remarkable, and should be celebrated. She's 11-0 with 11 finishes and has won her last two fights in a combined 30 seconds.
It's one of the most dominant runs in sports history by any athlete in any sport, male or female.
Three times in UFC history have there been championship fights between two unbeaten fighters. Rousey was involved in two of the three, and won those fights in a combined one minute, 20 seconds. She defeated Sara McMann, who was 7-0 entering their bout at UFC 170, in just 1:06. And then last week, she needed only 14 seconds to submit Cat Zingano in the main event of UFC 184.
This needs to stop, and now.
Why odd fit John Molina Jr. belongs in NBC's boxing series
Kevin Iole at Yahoo Sports 21 hrs agoLAS VEGAS – At the inaugural Premier Boxing Champions news conference in New York, one name stood out as out of place among the others.
It was no shock that Adrien Broner would be involved in the first primetime boxing match on NBC since 1985. Nor was it all that much of a surprise that Keith Thurman and Robert Guerrero would square off.
And then came the name "John Molina Jr." and it was like, "Huh?"
Is this the same Molina (27-5, 22 KOs) who lost his last two bouts?
Is this the same guy who had lost every round to Mickey Bey before a stunning final-minute knockout?
Is this the guy who was knocked out in the first round of a lightweight title fight by Antonio DeMarco, and is it the same guy who has lost four of his last seven and could easily have lost five of his last seven were it not for that haymaker against Bey?
Yes, he's one and the same.
But it speaks to progress in the industry that there wasn't much grumbling among those in the know about his inclusion on the card.
Hockey coaches often use the saying, "Talent won't beat hard work if the talent doesn't work hard," and that's also true in boxing.
Manny Pacquiao confident ahead of Mayweather fight but refuses to talk trash
Kevin Iole at Yahoo Sports 2 days agoThe word for years among those who know Manny Pacquiao is that he didn't particularly care much for Floyd Mayweather as a person, but Pacquiao was always far too courteous and circumspect to ever say anything derogatory about his biggest rival.
Pacquiao will fight Mayweather on May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas in a bout that will generate close to $300 million in gross revenue as the richest fight in the sport's history.
In a telephone interview with Yahoo Sports on Monday, Pacquiao praised Mayweather's abilities as a fighter, but predicted he would be victorious.
He credited CBS Corp. chairman Leslie Moonves and HBO CEO Richard Plepler for being the driving forces behind getting the massive deal completed.
And he said he loves Alex Ariza, his former strength and conditioning coach who has since defected to Mayweather and has been critical of his performance.
The one thing he didn't want to do, though, was speak about Mayweather personally.
Though they fought on the same card on Nov. 10, 2001, they never spoke face-to-face until Jan. 27, when they met at an NBA game in Miami and later when Mayweather visited Pacquiao in his hotel room.
How Marv Albert, 73, could help boxing regain traction with younger crowd
Kevin Iole at Yahoo Sports 3 days agoBoxing desperately needs a younger audience, and fast. Scan a television ratings spreadsheet and it's impossible to miss that the largest numbers of viewers for any boxing telecast almost always fall into the category of what is referred to in the ratings business as "P55+."
It shouldn't be confused with Tony Horton's workout program, P90X, which is very popular among young people.
No, in the television ratings game, P55+ isn't anything to be excited about. It refers to people aged 55 and older, perhaps the least desirable audience segment. Advertisers are desperate to reach a younger audience, particularly the coveted 18-to-34-year-old demographic.
Over the last 25 years, boxing hasn't been able to do that.
And so to some, it might seem a curious choice on the part of NBC and the Premier Boxing Champions to name a soon-to-be 74-year-old who hasn't called a boxing match since the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, as the play-by-play voice for the upcoming series.
Then as now, Marv Albert will be the man calling the fights.
To that, to borrow Albert's distinctive catch phrase, fans can only say, "Yes!"
What PBC on NBC needs to succeed is simple:
How Ronda Rousey went from child prodigy to the UFC's most dominant champ
Kevin Iole at Yahoo Sports 4 days agoLOS ANGELES – When Ronda Rousey was 13 and in junior high school, she was doing things athletically that made her mother's jaw drop. AnnMaria De Mars suspected she may have a child prodigy on her hands.
De Mars was not just another proud mother. She was a world-class athlete herself and in 1984 became the first American to win a world judo championship. She had an eye for talent and an analytic mind, and she believed deeply that her daughter had the potential for greatness.
What she was concerned about was having it develop to its fullest extent. So she did what any parent in a similar situation would do with a prodigy. She sought help, only to get rebuffed.
"I called up USA Judo, the governing body for judo, and I said, 'I have this kid and I seriously think she is going to be something special,' DeMars said. "[I said to them], I don't just say it because she's my kid, because I have three other kids. I'm telling you Ronda has something. Can you send me a program for what to do with really gifted athletes.' They kind of laughed and said, 'That would be nice to have.' So I kind of made it up as I went along."
Ronda Rousey destroys Cat Zingano in just 14 seconds at UFC 184
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter 4 days agoLOS ANGELES – It used to be that Ronda Rousey needed a minute to finish her fights. Now, she's getting two of them done in half of that time.
The most dominant fighter in the world continued her mind-boggling run of destruction Saturday, submitting previously unbeaten top contender Cat Zingano in just 14 seconds – the quickest finish in UFC championship history – in the main event of UFC 184 at Staples Center to retain her women's bantamweight title.
Rousey blew away Alexis Davis in just 16 seconds at UFC 175 in July in what seemed to be a ridiculously easy manner. But it was done even quicker on Saturday.
Zingano raced out of her corner and threw a flying knee at Rousey. She then flung Rousey down. But Rousey, the vastly superior grappler, quickly reversed position and got on top.
She extended Zingano's arm toward her and then turned her hips to the right, putting incredible pressure on the joint and forcing the tap.
"We expected she might come out flying," Rousey said.
It was over so quickly, Zingano seemed stunned. She didn't know what to say and several times uttered an expletive as she was being interviewed in the cage by UFC broadcaster Joe Rogan.
Brock Lesnar cageside at UFC 184, prompting speculation about his future
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter 4 days agoLOS ANGELES -- Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, now a star in the WWE, was cageside at UFC 184 on Saturday, prompting speculation that the big man is on his way back to the UFC.
Lesnar is nearing the end of his contract with the WWE and there has been talk, though none of it from Lesnar, that he wants to return to mixed martial arts. Lesnar suffered from diverticulitis during his UFC career and was never fully healthy.
After defeating Antonio Silva in Porto Alegre, Brazil, on Sunday, one-time Lesnar rival Frank Mir called Lesnar out and said he'd love a rubber match.
UFC president Dana White smiled when asked about Lesnar's presence during the event and said, "I don't know [why he's here.]" Lesnar was not available to media. On Thursday, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer and MMA Fighting reported that Lesnar had come to a contract impasse with the WWE.
CSAC decides to test all 22 fighters at UFC 184 for PEDs using blood, urine
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter 4 days agoLOS ANGELES -- The fight against doping in mixed martial arts took a big step forward on Saturday when Andy Foster, the executive officer of the California State Athletic Commission, told Yahoo Sports he was testing all 22 fighters taking part in UFC 184 for performance enhancing drugs.
The tests, which Foster said will "come at a significant financial cost to this commission," will include both blood and urine tests of all fighters. In the event of a positive result, Foster said he would have a Carbon Isotope Ratio (CIR) test done on the sample.
"We want to create an environment of deterrence," said Foster, who conducted out-of-competition testing of main eventers Ronda Rousey and Cat Zingano. "We're not trying to suspend people or take their money, but the athletes need to know that when they come to California, we have the resources, the means and the will to do this."
Silva then failed his post-fight test, as well. He was temporarily suspended by Nevada and faces an upcoming disciplinary hearing.
Foster, a former fighter himself, said it was disappointing to see all the positive tests, but said he doesn't believe doping is as rampant as many.
Cat Zingano on what to expect from her in UFC 184 title bout: 'Just watch"
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter 5 days agoLOS ANGELES – Champion Ronda Rousey and No. 1 contender Cat Zingano each made weight on Friday at LA Live, making official their bout on Saturday for the UFC women's bantamweight title at Staples Center in the main event of UFC 184.
Rousey, who appeared more gaunt in the face than usual, weighed at the bantamweight limit of 135 pounds. Zingano, who weighed first, was 134 1/2.
She was asked by UFC broadcaster Joe Rogan for a comment about the fight following the weigh-in. She said simply, "Just watch," and then turned and headed to the locker room.
Rousey (10-0, 10 finishes) praised Zingano (9-0, eight finishes) as her most dangerous opponent, which she said is a good thing. As her hometown crowd cheered her, Rousey said, "I'm going to show you guys the most fantastic win ever."
Holly Holm, a former boxing champion making her UFC debut in the co-main event, weighed in at 135 1/2, the same as her opponent, Raquel Pennington.

Top Three Faves - Boys
Theodore - my favourite on your boys list
Francis - one of the "softer" boys names that I love
Abel - I like the Biblical connection as well as the play on word of "able".
Don't like...
Gibson - there are better "son" names out there
Booker - book her?
Cleary - weary, dreary
Top Three - Girls
Alice - a true classic with a sweet simplicity
Caroline - see Alice
Violetta - I like this one and I'm not usually a fan of overly frilly girls names
Coraline (Cora) - Not as classic as Caroline but an interesting choice
Isla - seems to be one of the trendy names at the moment
Cordelia - it's not my favourite Shakespearean girls name
Sibset Suggestions
Alice and Theodore - a swoon-worthy pair
Caroline and Theodore - you can't go wrong with classics. They're timeless and ageless.
Francis and Caroline - I think these two are a lovely match
Abel and Violetta - how cute are Abe and Etta?
Combo Suggestions
Alice Margaret - if you like a vintage combo
Caroline Bridget - class and spunk
Violetta Ruth - the serious Ruth grounds the feminine first name
Theodore Daniel - I don't like the d's but it's a family name and that fact always trumps flow
Francis Robert - a fine twosome
Abel Robert - This combo is better than Abel Daniel which has the same ending.All the best,

I think you talked me into using _netdev, but it means we need to change some things in the book. nfs-utils shows a fstab entry, but does not use _netdev. This section also needs to point to the section that installs the netfs script. Samba doesn't mention fstab at all. ncpfs is an unknown to me. Does anyone use it? My understanding is that the code only supports Netware 3.x and limited functionality for Netware 4.x. It appears to be ipx only! The current version of Netware is 6.5! Should we drop this package????? -- Bruce


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Origin Hector Santiago is the Swine. Hector Santiago better known as the Swine was a corrupt warden at a prison along the border of Rio De Muerte, the "River of Death". He ruled with an iron fist, an individual that abused and tortured his prisoners. He instilled fear into his staff and prisoners and would not hesitate to have someone killed or tortured if they disobeyed or disrespected the Swine. Hector orders some men to bring back a former prisoner named Felix Garcia who is a waiter at a fancy restaurant in New York City. Felix has some special guests at his restaurant, Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson. Both of them witness two men pull out guns at the restaurant and start harassing Felix. Steve and Sam interfere and punch out the two gunmen. Later that night, Steve returns home with Sharon Carter and an argument occurs between the two. During the argument, an invader sneaks in with a gas-pistol and fires it at the couple. Two of the invaders are men that work for the Swine. They decide to kidnap Steve Rogers and use him as a substitute for Felix Garcia. Meanwhile back at the prison, some of the guards talk about a woman that could "doom" the warden because she constantly ridicules and disrespects him. That woman is actually the cousin of Hector and goes by the name of Donna Maria. Donna is not afraid of her evil cousin and tells the warden that a real man will come soon and break him like he has broke so many others. Meanwhile, Steve Rogers is being held captive on a plane heading towards the prison located deep in Central America. Steve Rogers wakes up and manages to escape. The plane crash landed near the prison in Rio De Muerte. The Swine and some of his guards go after Captain America. Hector's first encounter with Cap is one he would like to forget. Hector tries to shoot Cap with a pistol but ends up getting smashed by Cap's shield and is left hanging on a tree. Hector is humiliated and takes it out on his prisoners. He begins to torture individuals and swears to end his problem in the jungle. He vows to capture Captain America and make an example of him before every man in his prison. Donna Maria teases her cousin and tells the Swine that hopefully this real man, this tiger breaks him and his spirit. Captain America is roaming the jungle when he is suddenly attacked by this creature called Man Fish. A fight ensues but is broken up by gunfire from the prison guards. The creature flees and Cap is suddenly surrounded by some guards. Cap fights back against the guards but falls into a pit trap when he tries to escape. The Swine and Donna Maria see Cap in the pit. Hector orders one of his guards to hand him a flame thrower. Hector wants Donna to see her dream of a real man breaking him come to an end by killing Captain America. Donna Maria throws a knife at Hector forcing him to drop the flame thrower. Hector grabs Donna Maria and throws her into the same pit with Captain America. Suddenly the creature known as Man Fish appears and starts attacking the prison guards. The creature ends up killing Hector the Swine and his guards. CreationThe Swine was created by Jack Kirby in 1977 and first appeared in Captain America # 206.

The Anaheim Ducks almost certainly don't put a whole lot of stock into Power Rankings, nor should they. They started and ended last season at the top of thn.com's Power Rankings and what did it get them? An overabundance of bupkis when it came to cashing in that currency against the Los Angeles Kings in the playoffs.
But here we go again and here go the Ducks again. After losing their first game of the season, the Ducks have knocked down five straight en route to opening this season as the No. 1 team in our Power Rankings. Since this is our first installment of the year, last season's final ranking will be in parentheses. In the future, the previous week's ranking will appear. Read more
