Angry Birds Activity Park Johor Bahru, Malaysia is Southeast Asia's first Angry Birds theme park. Located on the third floor of the new Komtar Johor Bahru City Centre (JBCC), this 26,000 square feet indoor park offers fun activities for the whole family.

Malacca – Exploring a World Herita...
Malacca (also locally known as Melaka) is one of the most fascinating cities in Malaysia. Colonised by the Portuguese, Dutch and British for over 400 years over its strategic location for maritime trade, its rich history has earned itself the title of Unesco World Heritage City in 2008. It is probably the only place in the world that has ruins of both Asia and Europe. With my son learning History in school, I thought it was a good idea for him and the girls to learn a bit about Malacca's history in a fun way. We explored the historical sites on a trishaw, toured...

You can't miss it when standing in front of Malacca's Hard Rock Cafe. There were so many quirky knick-knacks on sale throughout the...

Melaka River Cruise
The Melaka River Cruise is a great way to spend an evening in Melaka (a.k.a. Malacca). The 45-minute long cruise is available from 9am to 11:30pm and departs roughly every 30 minutes. While the sights are easier to see during the day, the nice part about cruising in the evening is that you get to see colourful illumination of the buildings, bridges and other attractions along the river. The evening breeze is nicer too. The Melaka River played a big role in Melaka's history, but in the past, the waterway was not clean and the buildings along it was never...

New York City is a city that needs no introduction. It is famous for so many things like Broadway, Wall Street, Statue of Liberty, and the Empire States Building. I planned the trip to include places that my kids would be familiar with like the Central Park Zoo from the movie Madagascar and the American Museum of Natural History from the movie Night at the Museum. You might think that we were crazy to spend only 48 hours in New York City after travelling 18 hours halfway around the world, but the trip to the Big Apple was part of our New York and Orlando vacation.

Cameron Highlands Strawberries
Cameron Highlands in Malaysia, is famous for two things – tea and strawberries. It's hard to walk around Cameron Highlands without seeing strawberries. From strawberry milk shakes, strawberry ice cream, strawberry cakes, strawberry cushions, strawberry keychains, strawberry bags, strawberry t-shirts – you name it, Cameron Highlands got it. After all, strawberries can only grow in cooler climates and being near the equator, the hot weather is not conducive for strawberries to grow unless it is high up the mountains like Cameron Highlands.

Camping on East Coast Beach
Have you ever tried camping by the beach? My family and I decided to go camping at East Coast Beach during the Chinese New Year holiday when prices of flights and hotels go sky high. We got to stay overnight with a full view of the sea, and we don't have to pay a cent! Not bad eh? Well, when you have a great deal like that, it doesn't come as a surprise that like-minded families did the same. Even when we arrived early in the morning, the beach was already packed with tents. Even those who were supposed to celebrate Chinese New Year were there at the...

Batam Holiday Inn Resort Getaway
Batam is the nearest Indonesian island to Singapore that is accessible by a 30-minute ferry ride from Singapore.

Another way is to take the ferry to Batam city centre and take a 15-20 minute cab ride to the hotel.

Gunung Brinchang (Mount Brinchang) is the highest peak in Cameron Highlands in Malaysia that can be accessed by car and at 2032 m above sea-level, it provides a stunning view of the sunrise. Up a watch tower we stood, with fresh cool wind blowing against our faces, we witnessed the sun sneaking a peek through the clouds and casting its light directly on the mountains to mark the start of a new day. As the sun rose higher, its light passed through a small opening and shone on the clouds below. Despite the cloudy sky, we still got the chance to see an amazing...

But even some colleagues at NBC are skeptical of his posturing. An unnamed NBC executive told Entertainment Weekly, "If he wants to spout off about things, we're happy to let him. But our inclination is that he's not serious about running for president. We think it's a stunt."
The flying rumors do seem to keep people talking about him, though. A Pew Research survey released today put Trump far above any other name as the possible GOP candidate Americans have heard the most about lately. Over a quarter of respondents named Trump, compared with nine percent who cited Mitt Romney, the next name on the list. That said, over half the respondents couldn't name anyone.
And in the latest CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll, Trump was tied with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for first place, when Republicans were asked who they would support for a presidential bid.

PATERSONS Securities has launched a bold takeover bid for the broking arm of Melbourne's embattled Tolhurst, Australia's oldest stockbroking firm.
Tolhurst, which has seen its share price plummet from a high of 50¢ to just 4.5¢ before yesterday's trading halt, has been under pressure from banker ANZ to sell assets and reduce the company's debt burden.
ANZ financed Tolhurst's $39 million purchase of Community & Corporate Financial Services (ComCorp) in June 2007. ComCorp is now up for sale with a number of parties interested in the independent advisory business as Tolhurst tries to eliminate its debt burden.
ComCorp's clients include 11 member-based organisations, including Prime Super and Qantas Staff Credit Union, with more than 600,000 members.
Patersons will take control of Tolhurst's entire stockbroking and client advisory business, including the 151-year old William Noall name. Tolhurst dropped Noall from the listed company's name in 2007.
Tolhurst described the deal with Patersons as a "merger" in an announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange, but an internal email from Patersons executive chairman Michael Manford to company staff hailed the "acquisition of Tolhurst".
"I am delighted to announce that Patersons has entered into an in-principle agreement to acquire the Tolhurst stockbroking business," Manford wrote. "We will continue to trade under our Patersons brand but incorporate mention of the newly acquired business. I will continue to be executive chairman and chief executive of the expanded Patersons business."
Tolhurst will take a stake in Patersons the size of which will be determined by how much cash it can contribute to the merged entity. The maximum stake is 31 per cent, for which Tolhurst would need to contribute an estimated $11.5 million in cash, plus other assets.
After the deal is completed and sale of ComCorp finalised, Tolhurst shareholders will effectively own a company with one key asset: its stake in Patersons.
If the maximum 31 per cent threshold is reached, it will mean Tolhurst's major shareholder, Macquarie Group will effectively own 6.1 per cent of Patersons Securities.
Macquarie bought a 19.8 per cent stake in Tolhurst at 49¢ per share in 2007. Tolhurst executive chairman David Browne will also own a 6 per cent stake in Patersons if the 31 per cent threshold is reached. Browne controls 19.5 per cent of Tolhurst's stock. As part of the transaction, Patersons will be granted options to acquire up to 15 per cent of listed Tolhurst.
The deal is subject to a 15-day due diligence period and shareholder approval. A number of potential issues including Tolhurst's debt problems and the potential for litigation at Patersons have been discussed at board level.
Former Patersons Securities private client adviser Eric Hawley could face criminal charges relating to $15 million of client money that went missing through high-risk trading allegedly undertaken without his clients' knowledge. Patersons has reached settlements with a number of Hawley's clients.
"The potential for litigation in the Hawley case was high on the agenda when we spoke, and I don't think that will be a problem at all," Browne told BusinessDay. "I don't think we have any issues at all when it comes to due diligence."
His counterpart at Patersons concurred. "This combined broking business will assume none of the debt of Tolhurst," said Manford. "Indeed, our balance sheet is so strong that we are assuming no debt to complete this deal. We have been open in saying we have been on the lookout for acquisitions, and this deal is a tremendous moment in the history of Patersons. We have been looking to increase our presence on the east coast, and this deal with Tolhurst will allow us to do that."
Asked how much of Patersons he expected Tolhurst shareholders would eventually own, Manford said: "That depends on just how much cash they contribute, and you'd have to ask the Tolhurst board for an answer on that. As far as we are concerned, it will be no more than 31 per cent."
Manford said he had no concerns with Macquarie taking a stake in his company. "All Tolhurst shareholders will ultimately own some of Patersons. Even if they take the maximum 31 per cent, Macquarie will only have 6 per cent control."
The merged entity, to trade under the Patersons name and "incorporating Tolhurst and William Noall", will have more than 400 employees and 370,000 clients. It will rank among the top 20 broking firms in the country by volume of shares traded, behind only the major institutional brokers, backed by major banks.
The one major stumbling block for the deal will be the reaction of Tolhurst's brokers and private client advisers to the deal it's their network of clients that is the ultimate asset being bought.
Manford will fly to Melbourne on Monday to address Tolhurst staff. "We want every single Tolhurst client adviser, every single broker, to come on board," Manford said.
"That's very important for us, for this deal to work, but when they see the potential for this company, the resources we will offer, the levels of distribution we offer, the company we are building, then they will be happy to join our platform."
The takeover comes against a grim outlook for the Australian broking industry, with a number of mergers and collapses expected in the next 12 months.
Just last month Patersons announced it will merge with Perth firm Montagu Stockbrokers.
Otto Buttula, who sold the listed online broking firm IWL to Commonwealth Bank for $350 million in 2007, has emerged as a key player.
Last year, Buttula seized control of listed broking firm Findlay Securities, and has since orchestrated its merger with listed Aequs Capital.
Browne said that given the challenges faced by the broking industry in Australia, the deal was "one to rejoice".
"Some might typify this as the end for Tolhurst and William Noall, but I see it as securing the next century of the company's future," Browne said. "We are in a period of aggregation of broking firms, and we are going to see a lot of names disappear."

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A week ago, the Columbus Blue Jackets were sinking fast.
Now they are on a roll.
Brandon Dubinsky keyed a four-goal surge in the third period with a short-handed tally, and goalie Sergei Bobrovsky did the rest as the Blue Jackets beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2 on Friday night.
"It obviously was a huge goal," Columbus coach Todd Richards said of Dubinsky's wicked wrist shot from the right dot that put the Blue Jackets ahead 3-1. "It was a huge plus for us.
"On the other end of it, on the Toronto bench, they're sitting on a 4-on-3 situation, so they're thinking they're going to tie the game. To give up a shortie, that's a tough one to recover from."
Instead, Dubinsky -- the Blue Jackets' unofficial captain in the absence of a designated leader -- streaked up the right wing, took a glance at teammate Mark Letestu during a 2-on-1 break, and rocketed a shot that beat goalie Jonathan Bernier.
Dubinsky, who also had an assist, was acquired in the blockbuster deal that sent Rick Nash to the New York Rangers 18 months ago.
"I just grabbed the puck and went," he said. "I knew (Toronto defenseman Dion) Phaneuf broke his stick, plus there's more ice in a 4-on-3 situation. I just tried to get up the ice. (Letestu) did a good job of drawing guys, and it gave me a lane to fire the puck."
Dubinsky's goal led to a wild final few minutes.
Dave Bolland scored for the Maple Leafs with 4:30 remaining to narrow the lead to a goal. Bobrovsky, last season's Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL's top goalie, made several of his 23 saves to keep Toronto at bay.
Then the Blue Jackets' offense -- which hadn't scored more than four goals in a game this season -- took over.
Ryan Johansen scored an empty-netter in the final minute, and Nick Foligno, who also had an assist, added another goal in the closing seconds.
"I'm so proud of the way we came back," Foligno said of the Blue Jackets' three-game, home-winning streak after they lost four in a row. "I know the guys were not in low spirits but disappointed after that road swing. We needed to get off on the right foot here on this homestand. We seem to have done that. We seem to have gotten our confidence back."
Earlier in the period, Marian Gaborik scored his fifth goal to give the Blue Jackets the lead for good. Rookie defenseman Ryan Murray, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 draft, had opened the scoring by notching his first career goal for the Blue Jackets.
After David Clarkson, making his debut for the Maple Leafs, was sent off for hooking, Murray got some rare power-play time. James Wisniewski blistered a shot from the top of the left circle that R.J. Umberger tried to redirect. The puck glanced off defenseman Paul Ranger and to the post with Murray closing fast from the wing to jam it in.
"It's just real exciting," Murray said. "It's good to get it out of the way. It was definitely a gift sitting there on the doorstep for me, but I'll definitely take it."
After Phil Kessel evened things in the opening minute of the second period with his sixth goal, the Blue Jackets took a 2-1 lead 3:12 into the third. Foligno won a battle for the puck with Bolland on the back wall and then fed Gaborik for a quick shot that beat Bernier on the stick side and just inside the near post.
Toronto coach Randy Carlyle was less than pleased with the finish.
"Our third period wasn't something I would say we'd be proud of," he said.
Clarkson, an offseason free-agent signing, played his first game in a Leafs sweater after being suspended for the first 10 games for leaving the bench to join a fight during a preseason game against Buffalo.
"I felt like on the forecheck my jump was OK. But it's all about winning now," he said. "It doesn't matter how anyone feels. We have to find a way to win, and to be better than that."
Game notes
Toronto LW Joffrey Lupul didn't play after sustaining a bone bruise when he was struck by a shot Thursday during practice. ... Columbus played its third of a four-game homestand. It had won the first two games by a combined score of 7-2. ... The Maple Leafs' four losses this season have come to franchises that begin with the letter C: Colorado, Carolina, Chicago and Columbus. ... The Blue Jackets have scored a power-play goal in seven of their first 10 games. ... The last time the Blue Jackets beat the Maple Leafs was Dec. 30, 2010, in Toronto, by a 3-2 score.

My wife had been showing interest in my weapons lately and saying she wanted to shoot one to see what it's like. And much to my joy, a new indoor range opened just this month that is only a 5 minute drive from home. So after work today I told the wife we were going shooting. Grabbed my virgin M&P40 and a box of ammo I had waiting for such an occasion and off we went.
Knew there was no way she would like firing the .40, so we rented her a Walther P22 at the range and grabbed 100 rounds of .22LR. It was of course our first time at the new range, so they made us watch a 10 minute long Safety video then let us go into the firing line. Ever since she started showing interest in my guns, I have been showing her proper safety and handling, how to grip the pistol, sight alignment etc, and took a few moments there to go over everything I've already taught her. I then showed her how to fill a magazine, put it in the pistol and charge it, and she was ready to fire her first shots. She was nervous as all heck! LOL.
She fired her first shot and hit the target perfectly center of mass but was a bit startled by the gun's recoil. Her next shots though aiming center mass were left of center quite a bit in the shoulder and arm of the target. I told her to stop anticipating the recoil, that the gun was going to go BOOM regardless and there's no changing that, just tighten her grip, hold her arms nice and firm in front of her and to slowly exhale as she squeezes the trigger and she'll do just fine. So she tried doing as I said and was hitting the target dead center repeatedly. Although I did catch her flinching from time to time still anticipating the recoil. But her shot placement was much better this time around. By the time she was into rounds 70 and up you would have thought she was a more experienced shooter. All in all, minus the first magazine she ran, she managed to put all rounds in the same 7in grouping. Everyone at the range was impressed with her shooting, and I was very proud.
After she was done shooting I loaded up the M&P40 and ran a few rounds through it for the first time. I then offered the wife the chance to shoot it. She took the weapon, got a good firm grip, extended her arms took aim and pulled the trigger. Gun fired, muzzle raised a good 4-5in, her eyes got real big and she promptly laid it on the table in front of her and walked away nervously laughing. LOL.
She's hooked though. Already wants her own .22. I'm thinking maybe a few more range trips are in order for her first to see how she can eventually handle a 9mm and we'll decide on a first weapon for her after that. But I couldn't be more pleased that she had a great time at the range this evening.

Durata Therapeutics Presents New Comprehensive Review Of The Efficacy And Safety Data Of Dalbavancin And New In Vitro Findings At IDWeek 2013(TM)
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Durata Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:DRTX) today announced a comprehensive review of the efficacy, safety and microbiology data of the company's lead product candidate, dalbavancin, for the treatment of patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). The data is being presented in six posters at this year's IDWeek 2013™, held in San Francisco, Calif., October 2-6, 2013. Among the findings, an integrated analysis of two Phase 3 clinical studies (DISCOVER 1 and 2) showed dalbavancin met its primary and secondary endpoints of early response, measured at 48 to 72 hours of therapy, as well as clinical success at the end of treatment. Sensitivity analyses for both timepoints were also included. i A separate analysis showed that patients achieving cessation of spread of the lesion after 72 hours of antibiotic treatment with dalbavancin have a greater than 90 percent chance of being cured at the end of treatment. ii A pooled summary analysis of the safety profile of dalbavancin based on the Phase 2 and 3 clinical program also found it to be generally well-tolerated and to have a similar safety profile to comparators with fewer adverse events. iii Examination of patients with baseline Gram-positive bacteremia enrolled in the dalbavancin clinical development program as well as in vitro activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae were also presented.
"The data show that dalbavancin has the potential to be an efficacious and well-tolerated treatment option for patients with ABSSSI," said Durata Therapeutics Chief Medical Officer Michael Dunne, M.D. "Our studies were designed to meet the new standards required by regulatory authorities for antibiotic development in the United States and European Union and support our New Drug Application submission to the Food and Drug Administration late last week."
Dalbavancin is a novel antibacterial under investigation for the treatment of ABSSSI caused by susceptible Gram-positive microorganisms, such as S. aureus (including MRSA and other multi-drug resistant strains) and Streptococcus pyogenes, as well as certain other streptococcal species. Dalbavancin is bactericidal against Gram-positive bacteria and is administered with a once-weekly dosage regimen of 1000 mg on Day 1 and 500 mg on Day 8, over 30 minutes by intravenous infusion.
Copies of the following posters will be available on Durata Therapeutics' website: www.duratatherapeutics.com . Poster # 1339: An Integrated Analysis of the Efficacy of Dalbavancin for the Treatment of Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) in the DISCOVER Program i (Date: October 5, 2013) Data were presented from an integrated analysis of the efficacy results from the DISCOVER (" Dalbavancin for Infections of the Skin COmpared to Vancomycin at an Early Response") program and found that dalbavancin is non-inferior to the comparator regimen at both an early timepoint and at the end of therapy. The DISCOVER program includes two Phase 3 identically designed multicenter, double-blind, randomized clinical trials of more than 1,300 adult patients with ABSSSI from the United States, Europe, Asia and South Africa. Patients were treated for two weeks either with intravenous dalbavancin once weekly (1000 mg on Day 1 followed by 500 mg on Day 8) or with intravenous vancomycin (1000 mg or 15 mg/kg every 12 hours) with the option to switch to oral linezolid after three days. Primary endpoints from the DISCOVER trials were cessation of spread of the erythema associated with the lesion and resolution of fever measured at 48-72 hours per FDA requirements. While a secondary endpoint for FDA, clinical success at end of treatment is the expected primary endpoint for regulatory review in Europe. Examining both endpoints provides clinicians with correlation between the early and late findings. The integrated efficacy analysis found that:- Dalbavancin had similar efficacy rates relative to the comparator regimen in demonstrating the combination of cessation of lesion spread and absence of fever 48-72 hours following initiation of treatment
- Success rates at the Day 14 end of treatment and the Day 28 follow up visit were similar in both treatment groups
- The majority (945/1,046, 90.3%) of patients who responded favorably to treatment with dalbavancin by 48 to 72 hours were ultimately cured by the end of treatment
- Most (129/182, 70.9%) patients who were non-responders on Day 3 were also subsequently cured by the end of treatment
- Patients who do not achieve cessation of lesion spread at 72 hours alone and have worsening pain have an 80 percent chance of ultimately failing treatment

2010 Chicago Cubs Season Preview
Posted 3/28/2010
Another year of baseball for the Chicago Cubs, another season where fans will dream that a World Series title will finally find a home at historic Wrigley Field.
After a monumental meltdown in the 2008 playoffs, the Cubs seemed to let it affect their play during last year's disappointing, 83-win season.
As always, high hopes are abound in the Windy City for their loveable Cubbies, and rightly so. This team doesn't lack for talent, although they weren't particularly active in the free agent market.
One of the few moves the team made this winter was actually losing a player, and it may be a case of addition by subtraction. The Cubs were able to deal away disgruntled outfielder Milton Bradley and his big contract for virtually nothing, which was just fine by them.
Bradley was a big problem in the clubhouse and was a major distraction, often calling out the manager and teammates. There was also the time he flipped the ball into the stands after a fly-ball thinking the inning was over when it wasn't, allowing a run to score.
The starting rotation is still anchored by Carlos Zambrano, who has had his share of mental meltdowns as well. He's also had some injury issues, and the Cubs wouldn't be opposed to trading away his big contract as well.
The rest of the rotation is very solid. Ryan Dempster has come a long way since his early years, and Ted Lilly has great stuff. Sean Marshall has shown promise while Carlos Silva, who the Cubs got in the Bradley trade, could really benefit from a switch to the National League.
The bullpen has been a trouble spot, and it seems as if the Cubs are comfortable with Carlos Marmol as their closer. Don't be surprised if they are looking for bullpen help well before the July 31 trade deadline.
The lineup doesn't have a lot of home run hitters, but outfielder Alfonso Soriano and first baseman Derrick Lee both have the ability to drive in a lot of runs. The team really needs both to bounce back from down years in 2009.
Third baseman Aramis Ramirez can also be a big run producer, and hopefully he is healthy after missing time with an injury last year.
The Cubs certainly have enough talent to reach the postseason, but they will have to either take down the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central or grab the lone wild card spot.

The Blue moon is a moon that come around every so often during the harvest. I was thinking having her hair be like a pail blue. A silver head dress that almost looks Elvish so kinda like this: https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...WkAZpjyqB6mM-q but without covering up her solari symbol. Armor that has a silvery blue like half skirt in the back. Like very light armor that kinda looks glassy. No make up on eyes and curly ish hair half up in a pony tail. To where its like shes going to prom, but if prom was on a battle field.

1. Wish i could afford it,but probably not.
2. My PSU won't handle it as it can't even hack an 8800GT.
Still,by the time i do upgrade again,i will be able to afford it.
Going to be a stonking card,but I was surprised at some of the slow framerates they were showing.
1680 x 1050 with eight times AA enabled , the frame rate ranges between 7 FPS and 17 FPS.
Is this because it's a tech demo?
How do you compare it with say an 8800GT.Surely it's beter to have the GT200 running a game so that you can compare it with what you have.

IMO, the 8800GT was a bit overated and overpriced.
Some ofthem were better than others, but the 8800GTX (now coming down in price, but still not what you'd call cheap) is a great gaming card.
Two makes it even better.
The 8800GTS which I recently installed for a neighnour is pretty good too!

As long as i can play the latest games at medium settings i'm quite happy.
The 9600GT, with a little overclocking is a match for the 8800GT all bar a few frames per second.It's quite a bit cheaper too.
Overclocked my 8600GT so will have a dabble at it with the 9600GT at some point.

Rangers Ballpark in Arlington
Attendance: 38,537
Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Michael Young knocked in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth with a soaring fly ball to right that went over the head of Corey Patterson to give the Rangers a 5-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in the middle game of a three game series in Arlington.
Josh Hamilton collected three hits, including an RBI triple while Nelson Cruz added an RBI double for the Rangers, who have won the first two games of the series.
Darren Oliver (3-5) worked 1/3 of an inning to earn the win, while Marc Rzepczynski (2-3) was charged with two runs -- one earned -- and a walk to absorb the loss. Jon Rauch suffered his fourth blown save of the season.
J.P Arencibia smacked a home run while Eric Thames collected an RBI triple for the Jays, who have lost back-to-back games after winning three in a row.
Mike Napoli led off the ninth with a walk and Mitch Moreland reached on an error by Rzepczynski to put runners on first and second. Rauch then entered the game to face Ian Kinsler, who laid down a sacrifice bunt to put runners on second and third with one out. Elvis Andrus followed with a suicide squeeze to score the tying run. Hamilton came up next and was intentionally walked, setting the stage for Young's walk-off heroics.
Earlier, Toronto opened the scoring with a run in its first at-bat. Yunel Escobar led off the game by reaching on an error by Andrus but was erased trying to steal second. Thames followed with a one-out double, and Adam Lind ripped an RBI double two batters later.
Kinsler smacked a one-out double to left in the third and came around to score two batters later on a triple by Hamilton to knot the game at one.
David Murphy slapped a one-out single in the fourth, stole second and scored on a single by Chris Davis to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead.
The Rangers extended their lead to 3-1 in the fifth. Hamilton laced a one-out single to left, stole second and scored on a double by Cruz.
Toronto came back to take the lead in the sixth, plating three runs. Arencibia led off the inning by blasting his 15th homer of the season deep into the seats in left. Escobar followed with a double and scored on a triple by Thames. Jose Bautista followed with an RBI single to give the Blue Jays a 4-3 advantage.

Chills griped your small body as you desperately tried to warm up. People passed on the snowy sidewalks where you sat in watch, not even sparing a passing glance towards you, a poor girl only four sitting amist a pile of white snow.
Your nose was sniffling, your throat burning and your body freezing. Huddling yourself closer together, you tried desperately to warm yourself up. Again, you sniffled your nose and let out a sneeze.
The snow in front of you crunched as people walked making it hard to head when one pair stopped in front of you. Someone picked you up, a stranger who was completely warm.
Bringing your head up, you noticed his hair and skin-tone were rather dark and his eyes were a beautiful violet color. "What is a little cutie-pie ragazza like you doing outside on her own?"
Someone brushed by, rather similar but with auburn hair and a fairer skin tone than the one who held you. "Put her down Lovino. She might have fleas or something..."
He looked at you, unsure as to listen to the other and leave you or just take him as he wished. In the end, you were being held in his arms carefully as he followed behind the other man,"I'm not leaving her fratello."
"I'm telling you she's got diseases or something-"
Suddenly, the warm violet eyes the man held turned cold. "You live in my house fratello. And I say she can stay with us! If you don't like it, go stay with Lutz!"
"I live in the damned house too Lovino!" The other man snapped back,"I think I should be allowed to decided whether or not to take in a dirty, disease-ridden...thing into the house!"
Hearing the poison in his voice, your lip began to tremble before tears finally spilled. "Now look what you did you dumbass! You scared the poor ragazza!" The man holding you bit back before jouncing you in his arms,"Shh...don't cry otherwise you'll even more sick..."
You sneezed once more before nodding as he walked along. The meanie-head Italian was walking ahead of you, mumbling things in Italian. "My name is Lovino...that's my little brother Feliciano. Sorry about that, we don't really get along too well with each other sometimes..."
"I-I'm _-_________..." Your voice squeaked as you snuggled closer to the Italian. "N-Nice to meet you..."
Lovino pulled you closer, rubbing your arms to warm your frozen body up,"How long have you been out here by yourself? Who left you alone out there?"
"M-Mama did..." Your voice trembled once more,"I-I went to the store a-and she left me there...t-the people k-kicked me out at the end of the day and n-now I'm all alone!"
Sobs erupted once more, bringing your face into his shirt. The man rocked you in his arms, his comfort making your chest not hurt as much. "Don't you worry ___________, me and my fratello'll watch over you."
"Why are you dragging me into this!?" Feliciano snapped from ahead, not even looking back. "What did the stupid ragazza ever do for me, eh!?"
"Don't listen to him..." He whispered, holding you closer and warming you up even more. "Just stay with me and you'll be okay..."
The rest of the walk home was silent except for your occasional sniffles or sneezes followed by coaxing Italian words he would feed afterwards. You were brought into a strange house which seemed fresh and clean before being set down on the couch.
Feliciano just left, not wanting to bother with the situation at hand. Lovino brought you to a bathroom, starting a bath up for you. He held you over the porcelain tub and allowed you to judge the temperature for yourself. When you assured it was a good and warm, he ran out to grab a change of cloths and a towel before returning to turn off the water.
"When you're done, just come into the last door on the right, okay?" You agreed before he left you to rinse yourself off, all the dirt and cold melting off of your body as you laid in the warm water. You didn't stay in terribly long, just enough to heat up and cleans yourself before drying off and putting the cozy cloths Lovino gave you.
You walked down the halls, you dragged the dampened towel over your shoulder until you made it to what you believed was the right door before abandoning it outside.
The second you entered the room, you were faced with cold, violet eyes. Instead of going to the door on the right, you went left and ended up in Feliciano's bedroom instead. He didn't say anything before you started to cry silently in fear of what might happen.
His eyes rolled before he came up to you, crouching down in front of of you and sighing. "What? Why are you crying ragazza idiota? I didn't even do anything."
"I-I..." You squeaked. "I-I want Lovino..."
Again, the man let out a sigh before picking you up. The one thing you noticed is that he smelt like tar and smoke. Your body was frozen in his arms, you were truly frightened being around him.
He carried you farther from the door, sitting you on his bed and laying down lazily on it. You sneezed softly before moving beside the Italian and began to cry out once more. He didn't look happy but wrapped his arms around you and tried to calm you down.
"Quit crying, will ya? I'm not killing ya or anything, God..." Hearing this, you began to sob into his chest completely frightened. "Shut up! I said I'm not!"
"I-I'm sorry...! I-I didn't mean to..." Your voice panicked before tears replaced your voice once more. Seeing this occurrence, the Italian brushed away the tears embarrassingly. "I'm sorry..."
"Stop talking..." He hissed softly, rubbing your back as you hiccuped and sniffled. "Just take deep breaths." He demonstrated, taking a deep lung-full of air in his nose and breathing out through his mouth.
You allowed him to do this a few times before falling in sync, finding it harder not to cry as your body trembled. Feliciano noticed and took your small hand in one of his larger ones, massaging it gently. "Just breath...I don't wanna hear your voice just...breath."
This seemed to help until you felt everything just crash on top of you. Your mother left you alone, knowing that they would kick you out eventually into the cold snow. If these two hadn't found you, you would've surely died in the snow.
And like that, you began sobbing loudly, enough to get Lovino into the room to see his brother trying to comfort you as you bawled into his nightshirt. Lovino rushed over to your side, glaring at his brother who just held his hands up in response.
Lovino took you, bouncing you in his arms and shushing you. "What did mean ol' Feliciano do to you, huh?" You brought your head into his shoulder and shook your head. "Nothing...?"
"M-Mama..." You cried out, hiccuping and tears falling. "I-I...mama...I-I coulda..."
Feliciano picked you up once more, sitting at the edge of the bed and placing you on his lap so that you could look up at him. "No talking...just breath...deep breaths..."
You nodded, breathing in roughly at first. Lovino knelt down beside you two, rubbing your back to coax you softly. Feliciano demonstrated once more before you began to do so, calming down and letting the last tears roll.
Lovino lifted you up off Feliciano's lap and held you close, deciding not to bring up the subject again tonight. "Thank you Feli...I guess you're tired _________...how about we go lay down...?"
You nodded, being brought out of the room only to look at Feliciano looking slightly confused. Bringing your arm up, you waved at him to which he waved back until you were in Lovino's room.
Laying down, you fell asleep immediately in exhaustion. These two were rather interesting characters to say the least. Maybe you'd like hanging around these too for awhile.
You know...
If you survive...

Counter-clockwise from right: the late Gov Shapp, his chief of staff Dick Doran (RIP), a local judge, State Senator Vince Fumo, Buddy's protege and successor, now in prison. I almost went to jail too.
This year's election is being framed by Republican candidates, lead by the Romney camp as a "change from old style politics." Hooey! After four years in the White House, President Obama has learned the bitter truth about old style politics. Nothing gets done without it.
Politics is still old fashioned horse trading. Power trumps idealism and good intentions. Money buys votes, voters, elections and laws. It's been going on since the Republic began.
We know that all too well in Pennsylvania, a pivotal state in every national election. Philadelphia, like other major cities, has a longstanding rep for its unapologetically crooked politics, politicians and especially election day hanky-panky. (The dead voted in every election, we used to say). The old ways were often messy and downright offensive, but they got the job done.
If we're going to embrace real change and jettison those "back room old style politics," we have to understand what we're leaving behind. Not theoretically. Realistically. In. The. Room.
Here's a story from another time and another election. I was there. In the room. Young, enthusiastic, idealistic. And eventually bushwhacked. One of Philly's most powerful political "bosses" came to my aid. I had no choice. And I'm damn glad he was on my side.
Buddy Cianfrani, The Senator, Boss of old style political Bosses, shortly before his death.
This connects to my Walter Cronkite story from the 1976 presidential primary. It happened during the general election that year. And it involves the political stylings of one of the most colorful local politicians in the country -- the late PA State Senator Buddy Cianfrani, Philly's premier political boss for over 30 years.
Buddy Cianfrani was the essence of an old time backroom pol. Big, bald, ham-fisted, cigar-chomping, gravel-voiced, steely-eyed. A true kingpin ... and king maker. A Paisan from da neighborhood. Sout Philly. Since I worked for PA's governor, I knew The Senator. Nobody called him Buddy, at least not to his face.
The Senator was a pretty scary guy. You didn't want to get on his bad side. Ever.
No matter his tough guy rep, to da goils, Buddy Cianfrani was a gentleman. Courtly. Charming even. An old-fashioned Democratic machine politician, he called me and every other female 'Doll'. Not quite the caché of being "That gal in PA" to Walter Cronkite.
But. I became, very briefly, Buddy's 'Doll'. Based on nothing more than political expediency and Doing the Right Thing. I worked for a Democratic Governor. I was in trouble. So of course, The Senator came to my rescue.
Presidential Election Day, 1976, My Arrest
As PA's Commissioner of Elections --yes, really, it's in the Cronkite story-- I was sworn in as a Judge of Elections, tasked with reviewing claims of improprieties at city polling places. In Philly, that's a full time job. And not the best venue for someone so young and green.
I had a cadre of lawyers to advise me, but still, I was positioned as The Boss. Needless to say, I made a few enemies. More even than I imagined. Mid afternoon I stopped home to take a short break. A friend and I were drinking coffee when a knock came at the door. A policeman and a Traffic Court officer. WTF?
They informed me I was under arrest as a "scofflaw." Claimed I had amassed over $500 in unpaid parking tickets. They had a bench warrant to bring me in. Now I was really in WTF-land. I lived primarily in Harrisburg. And garaged my car when in Philly. So their claim was clearly bogus.
It was a set up. A ploy to keep me and my team away from the polls. And I was scared to death.
Using Old Style Politics
I showed them my Judge of Elections badge and asked to make a phone call. They grudgingly agreed. Frantically I dialed the emergency number of Philly's Deputy Mayor. "Sit tight," he told me, "We'll get right back to you."
I waited. The officers waited. Impatiently. I was sweating bullets. Feeling way out of my league.
I jumped when the phone rang. A familiar gruff voice said, "Hey, Doll, you okay?" The Senator. I said I was fine, just worried. "Lemme talk to da cop. And don't say nuttin."
Wordlessly I proffered the phone to the patrolman. "I don't want to talk to nobody," he said.
"This isn't nobody," I whispered. "Please, just take the phone."
He rolled his eyes at the Traffic Court officer and grabbed the receiver. "Yeah?" he barked.
There are the moments you dream about. Delivering the perfect exit line. Making your boss laugh. Getting back at an old boyfriend. This was way better.
"Senator!" the cop gulped, suddenly standing at attention. We couldn't hear Buddy's words, but the tone came through loud and clear. "Yessir, Senator! I'm sorry, Senator! A mistake. Yes, Senator. Whatever you say, sir!"
My friend smiled at me. "Buddy?" he mouthed. I nodded. Watching us, the Traffic Court officer snapped to attention too. Looked at me with incredulity. Respect. And --I'm not so crazy about this part-- a little fear. But when your adrenaline is pumping from your own fear, you let that slide.
The officer handed me the phone as if it were a live bomb. I grabbed it like the lifeline it was.
"It's all taken care of, Doll," Buddy said. "Doze guys won't bodder you no more."
"Thank you, Senator." I squeaked. "I'm sorry to bother you."
"S'okay, Doll. Dat's what I'm here for. Just keep doin yer job."
Buddy Cianfrani did his job for a lot of people. Not always on the side of the angels, but fiercely loyal to his constituents. I learned a lot from him and his ilk. Play fair when you can. Take care of your own. And do what's needed to get the job done.
I also learned the penalty for seriously illegal wheeling and dealing. Buddy ultimately went to jail, but not from this incident. For racketeering, what else. And shortly after he got out, again became as strong a force as ever.
What's Next?
Reuters/Joshua RobertsThe most important lesson I learned was about power. It's incredibly seductive. Especially when it's on your side. It seduced George W. Bush and his dastardly cronies. It's clearly seduced Mitt Romney and his big business power brokers.
I want to believe Barack Obama will manage to stay immune from its siren song. Create a new brand of politics. Cooperation. Bipartisanship. Congressional support. Staying focused on the critical issues to enact sensible laws and programs that preserve all our freedoms and make sense for our country's future.
Here's my dirty little secret though ... I wish The Senator and friends were still here to help.
I have a soft spot for Philly. I went to Penn and my son and daughter in law both went to med school there.
Grand town if you know your way around.
And yes, I absolutely miss having guys around who want to get stuff done instead of posture about it. I can still remember how health care was blown early in the Clinton administration when a rather green Hillary Clinton and Ira Magaziner didn't understand they had to cut a deal with Bob Dole, who was more than willing to, back before the Republican party went completely insane.
Every Chicagoan would recognize dis story. As the late, great Mike Royko wrote, "[W]hat clout is in Chicago is political influence, as exercised through patronage, fixing, money, favors, and other traditional City Hall methods. "
Yer clout beat da udder guy's clout. Den again, Royko wrapped up his column on clout by sayin, "Clout is used to circumvent the law, not to enforce it. It is used to bend rules, not follow them."
There is an even more delicious joy in watching a loudmouth hardass like Chris Christie eating crow -- which is much to his credit -- in the face of a far more serious problem than phony parking tickets. I'll give the guy his due, tho, most politicians wouldn't get anywhere near being that honest.
in america, sovereignty is shared among 536 adults whose word is final except for the occasional intervention of the supreme court.
that is very narrowly focused power, in a nation of 330 million. the commercial and financial institutions that service those 330 million are easily able to raise the money to buy some of those 536 people. they do, a whole street is named after what other nations shamefacedly call 'corruption,' but is merely an address in dc: 'k street.'
the structure of american politics creates corruption by simply making it possible, usually easy. the cure is simple: revolution to democracy.
people are still people in a democracy, but since public business must be done in public in a democracy, corruption is very difficult. incompetence is hard to hide, too.
any politician that does not begin by describing the need for democracy has no interest in real change, so i was unimpressed by obama going in, and unsurprised to discover he was just another empty suit.

Critic Questions Way Coal Firms Build Slurry Ponds
By VICKI SMITH
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) â¿¿ With a driver and his bulldozer missing in a thick, dark lake of coal slurry, a mine safety expert and critic of the coal industry says regulators are ignoring stricter construction standards that could prevent more failures at hundreds of similar dam-like structures around the country.
For at least a decade, state and federal regulators have allowed coal companies to build or expand the massive ponds of gray liquid and silt atop loose and wet coal waste, said Jack Spadaro, an engineering consultant and former director of the National Mine Health and Safety Academy.
"They're building on top of the existing slurry, and therein lies the problem," Spadaro said. "It's wet and it has no stability. It's creating hazards for all of us downstream."
In all, there are 596 coal slurry impoundments in 21 states. West Virginia has 114, more than any other state, according to the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration. Kentucky has 104, while Illinois is third with 71. Slurry is a byproduct of washing coal to help it burn more cleanly. Companies have disposed of the dirty water and solids in various ways over the years, injecting it into abandoned mines, damming it in huge ponds like the one at Robinson Run and, less commonly, disposing of it with a costly dry filter-press process. Spadaro's criticisms follow the Nov. 30 failure of a section of embankment at Consol Energy's Robinson Run mine slurry pond near Lumberport in the north-central part of West Virginia. Two workers escaped after pickup trucks slid into the massive pond, but the dozer and driver are missing. "Since we're still in recovery mode and have barely begun the investigation, it would be premature to comment at this time," MSHA spokesman Amy Louviere said. The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection also declined comment on Spadaro's charges, but Bill Raney, president of the West Virginia Coal Association, said impoundment failures are rare.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Bundesliga club Hannover 96 have completed the signing of Miiko Albornoz from Swedish champions Malmo FF.
The 23-year-old full-back impressed in Malmo's successful Allsvenskan title bid and was rewarded with a place in Chile's squad for the World Cup in Brazil.
Hannover sporting director Dirk Hufner travelled to South America so Albornoz could pen a three-year contract with the club and believes the highly-rated wing-back will be a success in the German top flight.
\"He is a very talented player,\" Hufner told the club's official website. \"The fact he was selected in the World Cup squad confirms his potential.\"
Albornoz's arrival at the HDI Arena means the club have ended their pursuit of FC Augsburg defender Matthias Ostrzolek, who they believe has been over-priced by their Bundesliga rivals.
Former Germany U21 international Ostrzolek is under contract until June 2015 but is eager to leave the SGL-Arena, with German reports claiming fellow Bundesliga club Hamburger SV in discussions with the player.
\"As far as I am concerned there have been offers for my services from other clubs,\" Ostrzolek told BILD. \"And I definitely want to leave FC Augsburg this summer.
\"Back in September I admitted to the club that I will not sign a new deal beyond my current contract.
\"They said they would then sell me this summer as they do not want to kick off a season with a player heading for a Bosman situation.\"
Another Germany age-group graduate on the move is Lasse Sobiech, who will leave Hamburger SV to join St Pauli on a 12-month loan.
The 23-year-old centre-back joins his parent club's city rivals after struggling to establish himself as a first-team regular, but there is no option to buy in the deal.

On the eve of the Preakness Stakes, Maryland-trained Animal Kingdom is getting a pep talk from a high-profile visitor: Gov. Martin O'Malley(D).
The governor is scheduled to trek Friday to a horse training center in the northeastern corner of the state, where he will "wish Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom well as he prepares for the Preakness Stakes on Saturday," according to an advisory from O'Malley's office.
Following a private stable tour at Fair Hill Training Center in Elkton, led by trainer Graham Motion, O'Malley plans to discuss the future of horse racing in Maryland, aides say.
Among the more than 200 bills O'Malley signed into law Thursday is one that will use some existing slot-machine gambling revenue to subsidize racing operations.
Both O'Malley and Animal Kingdom should get some camera time Saturday during NBC's broadcast of the 136th running of the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. Post time is 6:19 p.m.

Would not recommend
Spacious Rooms, friendly service
The Comfort Inn Erie was a good value, I was excited about the great breakfast. The staff was friendly and I checked in with no problem. The bed was comfortable and I had a restful nights sleep. When I woke up in the AM I was extremely warm and wondered why the alarm clock was off. I called to the front desk and the power was out. So, without emergency lighting in the room I showered completely in the dark and made my way down the three flights of stairs, again with no emergency lighting, to the breakfast I was looking forward to. Unfortunately, everything was gone, I had a muffin and a piece of bread. No toaster, no microwave and no juice... and no waffles. The other options were cereal with milk and yogurt that were not cold. I would recommend a generator for any hotel... at least for emergency lighting, as it was near impossible to carry my baggage down the stairs in a completely dark hallway. I would have loved to stay here under normal circumstances, but this was an extreme disappointment. I think most of the guests left by 8 am. I definitely would have showered or gotten ready elsewhere, if I had somewhere to do so. The following night I stayed at the new Comfort Inn in Edinboro, absolutely amazing. I will drive the extra distance to stay at that one again...
Go to the Penninsula and have ice cream on the way out...the views are breathtaking

Half Of Workers Plan To Do Some Online Holiday Shopping At Work, CareerBuilder Study Finds
Nov. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Using the Internet to knock items off the holiday shopping list is likely to continue to be the trend. According to CareerBuilder's "Cyber Monday" Internet usage study, 49 percent of workers expect to spend some time in the office this holiday season shopping online, on par with past years. More than a quarter of workers plan to shop from work either on Black Friday (12 percent) or Cyber Monday (16 percent). The survey of more than 2,400 employers and more than 3,900 workers nationwide was conducted online by Harris Interactive
© from
August 13 to September 6, 2012.
Shopping from the office is most common in the weeks leading up to December 25, with 30 percent saying they're most likely to shop from work after December 7. The study also revealed that a higher percentage of women (43 percent) have shopped online while at the office compared to men (36 percent).
"Employers tend to be more lenient when it comes to workers using breaks or down time to get online and—in some cases—take care of some online shopping," said Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources at CareerBuilder. "However, it is the employee's responsibility to know and adhere to their company's policy regarding Internet usage. Be aware of how you spend time on the Web, and don't let your holiday shopping get in the way of your productivity."
While most companies have an official Internet use policy for their employees, workers often go online for non-work related reasons.
- 25 percent of employers have fired someone for using the Internet for non-work related activity.
- 7 percent of hiring managers have fired an employee for holiday shopping at work.
- 53 percent of employers block employees from accessing certain websites.
- 45 percent of workers are connected with co-workers on social media.
- 11 percent of hiring managers have fired an employee for something they posted on social media.
- 30 percent of employers monitor their employees' email use.
- 11 percent of hiring managers have fired someone for sending non-work related emails.

text: DECANTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CELANI FAMILY VINEYARDS 2005 ARDORE CABERNET SAUVIGNON Friends, Celani Family Vineyards is pleased to announce that all pre-orders of our 2005 ARDORE Cabernet Sauvignon have been released as of March 1, 2008. We are delighted with the reception and are confident that the wine is ready for your enjoyment. ARDORE is a special wine that is best when given proper thought and consideration before drinking. It is recommended that you stand the ARDORE bottle upright at room temperature for a minimum of 24 hours before decanting. Decant the wine at least one hour before consumption. Do not be afraid to be aggressive in the decanting process! Young California cabernets need to be oxygenated so that they can open up. The reason for decanting this way is so that we can soften the tannins, as well as allow it to mature and express a closer version of the winemaker's envisioned flavor, so you can taste its full potential. Thank you for ordering ARDORE. We value your patronage and welcome your comments. Please send us your thoughts after you have had a chance to experience our passion, our ARDORE. Sincerely, Vicki and Tom Celani Proprietors |

Wheatmore High School in Trinity, North Carolina has found itself in one mother of a controversy.
Having your picture taken and taking a picture both require a certain degree of concentration. So when you're taking a "selfie" (and performing both of these tasks at once) you tend to be pretty oblivious to anything else going on around you.
Just after 10:00 Tuesday morning (April 16), the Sedalia Fire Department and the Sedalia Police responded to a house fire at the corner of Pettis and Lamine on Sedalia's north side.
I was scanning Facebook and came across this gem, from the Missouri Cattlemen's Association. Mallory Early and Layne Robinson of Leeton, Mo., decided to put together a snow steer. It looks very similar to the butter cow that has been

Maybe we're just hypersensitive to this sort of thing, but it seems like UFO reports have been pouring in lately. After the possible appearance of UFOs in Google Street View and in the skies over San Francisco and Brooklyn, a man claims to have snapped a photographed of a "Grey" alien in the woods of Texas.
Just to prove nothing ever really goes out of style, KSIS Newsman Jack Miller took 3rd place this morning (Dec. 13) in a contest for the ugliest sweater at the Sedalia Area Chamber of Commerce Breakfast.
When you hear a story about a landlord, it's usually an angry tale concerning neglect or some kind of funny business with a security deposit. Instead, this holiday season we present a tale that will make any heart grow three sizes.
Change is good, even when you are a naturally gorgeous country superstar with a signature hairstyle. Miranda Lambert just debuted a brand new look, which consists of much shorter, swingier and straighter hair, complete with long, side-swept bangs.

FAIRFAX, VA (October 9, 2006) --- Needing a strong performance to get back on the winning track, popular Northern Virginia middleweight contender Jimmy Lange didnt disappoint the 3,614 boisterous fans Saturday night at the Patriot Center, using an impressive surge late in the fight to record a ten-round technical knockout (2:45) over tough veteran Tommy Wilt in the Main Event. Lange of Great Falls, VA, improved to 27-3-1, 19 KOs, while Wilt from Altoona, PA, dropped to 20-6, 4 KOs. Due to a schedule conflict, Langes head trainer Buddy McGirt was unable to work Saturdays fight, so Langes camp enlisted the legendary International Boxing Hall of Famer Angelo Dundee and the highly-regarded Tommy Gallagher to serve as his corner men. Both seemed to provide the necessary motivation and support for the season-one Contender star who was looking to bounce back after suffering a disappointing loss last February. In the co-Main Event bouts, Dorin The Pride of Portsmouth Spivey (34-4, 28 KOs) earned a well-fought, eight-round unanimous decision (80-72, 79-73, 78-74) against Mexicos Roberto Valenzuela (37-26, 33 KOs), and Newark, DEs Larry The Laser Marks (29-8, 16 KOs) defeated Washington, DCs Purcell Hard Rock Miller (22-5-1, 18 KOs) with a commanding eight-round unanimous decision (80-71, 79-72, 79-72). Langes Contender co-star Anthony The Bullet Bonsante (27-8-3, 16 KOs) of Shakopee, MN, delivered a strong performance by knocking out Larry The Gladiator Brothers (6-20, 4 KOs) of Washington, DC at 2:34 in the fourth round of a scheduled six-rout tilt. Dumfries, VAs Derek Amos (14-23, 9 KOs) and Juan Carlos Robles (4-0, 2 KOs) of Waynesboro, VA, got the evening started with a competitive heavyweight slugfest with undefeated Robles emerging victorious with a four-round unanimous decision. Jed Phipps (17-5, 10 K0s) of Baltimore, MD failed his physical, canceling his heavyweight showdown against Washington, DCs Rohan The Buffalo Soldier Wallace (6-4, 4 KOs). Time limitations imposed by the venue prevented two other swing bouts featuring Money Mike Sawyer (2-1, 2 KOs) of Falls Church, VA vs. Sault St. Marie, MIs Randy McRorie (0-1) and Riverdale, MDs Horace The Reason Grant (1-0, 1 KO) vs. Jonathon Felton (2-4, 2 KOs) of Woodbridge, VA, from taking place. Among the notable dignitaries attending the fight were undefeated welterweight contender Paul The Punisher Williams, former middleweight champion William Joppy, former world champion Pernell Sweat Pea Whitaker (who served as Spiveys trainer), First Lady of Boxing and Contender star Jackie Kallen, popular George Mason University mens basketball head coach Jim Larranaga and former Washington Redskins star Brian Mitchell. Joe Hensley of Major League Boxing (www.majorleagueboxing.com) was the promoter of record and Nick Tiberi served as matchmaker.

In the battle against soil fungi that discolor horseradish roots and can render the entire crop unsellable, University of Illinois researcher Mohammad Babadoost found that subjecting the roots to hot water before planting was most effective in killing the pathogen in propagative root stocks.
The final recipe: submerge in water heated to 47 degrees Centigrade for 20 minutes.
Babadoost was looking for a reliable, non-chemical method to control Verticillium and Fusarium soil-borne fungi species that cause the internal discoloration of horseradish roots. "The discoloration doesn't affect the taste of the horseradish, but it does affect the color of the processed horseradish sold in glad jars. Consumers expect horseradish to be a light color," said U of I plant pathologist Mohammad Babadoost.
Horseradish producers save root cuttings from their harvest in order to propagate plants in the next season, Babadoost said. "Most of the cuttings are apparently healthy, showing no symptoms, but they are often infected with Verticillium and Fusarium. So, starting horseradish production from pathogen-free cuttings is essential for managing the internal discoloration of roots."
In order to find a treatment, Babadoost experimented with immersing the horseradish root stocks in water at temperatures from 44 to 50 degrees Centigrade for 10, 20 and 30 minutes. Treatments at temperatures lower than 46 degrees Centigrade did not control the pathogens. Treatments at 48 degrees Centigrade or higher affected the germination and vigor of the plant.
"We found that the most effective treatment for control of the pathogens without adverse effects on plant was 47 degrees Centigrade for 20 minutes," Babdoost said.
He said that the beauty of this treatment is that it is a simple, safe, reliable, and cost-effective method. "Hot-water treatment of horseradish roots is simple and can be done using equipment and tools that are readily availab
