Someone should tell Frankie Gomez that he could pace himself to actually fight the scheduled rounds and not end a fight so early.
"Once I saw that he did not have enough on his punches, I went after him," Gomez said after less than one round of action.

Boxing Buzz
Salvador Sanchez II of Mexico will wear the robe, trunks and shoes that his legendary uncle, world champion Salvador Sanchez, wore against Juan LaPorte in a 1980 world title fight. Grant Elvis Phillips, manager of young Salvadore Sanchez II, said it is a tribute to the Sanchez family at Top Rank's Latin Fury 15 here in the Alamodome on Saturday night. Sanchez II will take on Tomas Villa in the opening PPV bout.
Villa is from Midland, Texas. He works in an oilfield servicing pumping units during the day, then trains in the evening.
Gabriel Elizondo, who is taking on Raul Martinez in a battle of San Antonio fighters on the PPV, said "…I really need my A-Game going. My plan is to take away his confidence. Raul tends to wear down in the late rounds." Gabriel is reunited with trainer Tony Ayala for this fight.
Raul Martinez: "Tony Ayala brings in fighters in top condition. That concerns me going into the fight against Elizondo." Martinez adds if he wins he will celebrate with a bowl of ice cream. "Vanilla custard will work," he said today. "I haven't been eating much since I have been in training camp."
Adailton DeJesus of Brazil said he has seen "every available video of Marco Antonio Barrera" to prepare for his showdown with the former world champion on Saturday night. "Barrera was a champion when I first started boxing," DeJesus said. "I learned about boxing myself just watching his videos. Now, here we are, going against each other." DeJesus said he has fought times outside of Brazil – 5 times in the USA, once in Argentina, once in Panama.
Barrera on DeJesus: "He's taller than me and hits hard. He has long arms, reminding me of Kennedy McKinney."
John Duddy's previous trainers were Pat Burns and Don Turner. Duddy is now trained by Harry Keitt. Duddy trained for weeks in the Pocono Mountains, Bushkill, Pa., and finished his work at Gleasons Gym in New York. George Mitchell is the cutman for Duddy.
Freddie Roach on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.: "He practices all the moves I teach him everyday."
Chavez Jr on Roach: "I knew I needed to work with him for discipline, hard work and to get to the next level. I am going to show everyone what hard work really means when I get into the ring Saturday night. I know this is the most important fight of my career."
Miguel Diaz is the cutman for Chavez Jr. Lupe Contreras is the ring announcer. Officials for the main event are referee John Shorle (California), and judges Julie Lederman (New York), Jurgen Langos (Germany) and Glen Crocker (Texas)
Top Rank.com will stream the undercard bouts which get underway 7:15 pm eastern/4:15 pm pacific. Latin Fury 15 PPV goes live 9 pm eastern/6 pm pacific.
Fury TKOs McDermott
Unbeaten heavyweight Tyson Fury (11-0, 9 KOs) scored a ninth round TKO over John McDermott (25-7, 16 KOs) on Friday night at the Brentwood Centre in Brentwood, England.

Jonathan Maicelo 135 vs. Alberto Leopoldo Santillan 134.2
Crowd showers fighters with cash
As has been the tradition for the last 26 years at the Irvine Marriott's Battle In The Ballroom pro shows, when fans sense that fighters have given above and beyond what is expected of them, and fight toe-to-toe each and every round, they show their appreciation by wadding up paper money and throwing it in the ring. It is then collected and split between both fighters regardless of who wins. That was the case last night when a standing room, sold out crowd of 1,452 fight fans cheered and donated to the tremendous performance displayed by bantamweights Richard Contreras and Eder Peralta. Contreras 1-1 out of Riverside had Peralta down in the first and third rounds, but could not put the game 1-2 Peralta from Pasadena away. Besides a standing ovation from the fans, they also threw over $100 cash into the ring. (more…)
Zamora victorious
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Ibeth "La Roca" Zamora (8-2, 2 KOs) returned with a spectacular victory at 1:02 of the second round over Patricia Hernandez (11-4-2, 3 KOs) and thus won the WBC female youth miniumweight world title on Thursday night at the Jose Cuervo Salon, Distrito Federal in Mexico. In the first round, Hernandez received a bill for protection. The referee Gelasio Perez stopped the match when Zamora dominated from the start and withstood attacks from "La Patito" Hernandez. "We are ready to defend our titles in Mexico or in any country. I love this sport and I want to do my best," said Zamora.
Conversations with Brock
He's the most talked about fighter in MMA today, and with good reason. But the former NCAA National wrestling champion and current UFC heavyweight titlist has done plenty of talking himself since signing with the UFC in 2007, and we've captured some of his best as we await his showdown with Shane Carwin in the main event of UFC 116 on July 3rd in Las Vegas . . .

Universum: Thank You ZDF
The eight year partnership of Universum Box-Promotion and Germany's ZDF television network will end on July 31 with a stellar show headlined by WBC interim middleweight champion at the o2 Arena in Hamburg. During the successful eight year run, 18 Universum boxers became world champions, and five more who already held belts defended on the network.
To celebrate this golden era in televised boxing, Universum promoter Klaus-Peter Kohl has something special planned: all seats 30 euros. "We wanted to find a special end for a special partnership," he said, "so the boxing fans can really enjoy themselves on one special evening. One can buy the first row of tickets for 30 euros, which normally cost 600 euros or more. On top of that, every ticket buyer does something good!" (half the proceeds will be donated to the charitable organization 'A Heart for Children.') (more…)
Klitschko-Povetkin Update
By Alexey "Oscar" Potapov
Looks like IBF/WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 28 KOs) could fight IBF mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin (19-0, 14 KOs) on either September 11 or 18th at Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt, Germany. Team Povetkin is interested in staging the fight in Moscow. Wladimir was seeking a unification fight with WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KOs), but it appears David is eyeing a fight with Audley Harrison (27-4, 20 KOs), which could take place on November 13th in England.
Weight troubles with Duddy?
By Robert Hughes
Photos: Robert Hughes
A less-than-cheery John Duddy did not like being asked Thursday evening if he was going to win Saturday's bout with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. "No, I'm here to lose," Duddy snapped at this reporter in a hotel elevator. "Of course I'm going to win, what kind of question is that?"
Meanwhile, Chavez Jr. was in the lobby with dozens of fans and chatting with his father, the great Mexican champion Julio Cesar Chavez, when FightNews asked the fighter the same question. Chavez Jr. responded with a more diplomatic statement about being in shape and being well prepared. And then he said, in his best English: "I think he's having a problem." (more…)

Gomez victorious
By Francisco Salazar at ringside
Unbeaten Frankie Gomez stopped veteran Jaime Orrantia (13-27-5, 4 KO's) in the first round of a scheduled four round fight. Gomez was on the attack on Orrantia, but the veteran fighter was able to make Gomez missed. Although he tried to counter, Orrantia would miss, allowing Gomez (4-0, 4 KO's) to go back on the attack. Gomez landed a right uppercut, sending Orrantia back against the ropes, prompting referee Pat Russell to stop the fight. Orrantia was not visibly hurt, prompting some in the crowd to boo the stoppage. Click here for more + photos

The Observation Deck
A blog of opinions on local, state and national issues
Monthly Archive for May, 2012
They want their cake and eat it too
America educates those who go on to build billion dollar companies, says Froma Harrop in the Seattle Times. The government guards their corporate facilities, their intellectual property and their mansions; so why are these zillionaires "so eager to avoid paying their fair share of taxes?" he asks. [Read More]
Obesity a social, environmental issue
"Obesity is a symptom of an ill greater than itself," says Noliwe Rooks in Time. Obesity cuts across race, class and gender, and is not restricted to certain cultures, and will only end when there is equal access to healthy environments, she says. [Read More]
NYRA runs out of chances
Our opinion: Naming a new CEO from inside a scandal-ridden regime is too much for regulators. Can NYRA's board assure us that it is on an honest and sustainable course? Or is it time for a change? In the wake of a scandal that cheated bettors out of $8.5 million, Charles Hayward is gone, thankfully, […] [Read More]
Minimum wage
Dodd-Frank fails to deliver reform
The Dodd-Frank bill was supposed to change banking practices to better safeguard consumer interests, says Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone. Instead, the act demonstrates the government's failure "to institute even the simplest and most obvious reforms" when those reforms "clash with powerful financial interests," he says. [Read More]
Evil flourishes in a free market
"Capitalism is predicated on bad behavior," says William Deresiewicz in the New York Times. "Shafting your workers, hurting your customers, destroying the land. Leaving the public to pick up the tab. These aren't anomalies; this is how the system works," he says. [Read More]
Dump Joe Biden for Hillary Clinton
Rumor has the president replacing Joe Biden with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, says Jack Kelly in Real Clear Politics. Despite the downsides to dumping his vice president, Obama ought to, Kelly says, contending," Slow Joe is a national embarrassment." [Read More]
Some numbers for Mr. Skelos
Our opinion: A poll shows heavy support for a higher statewide minimum wage. The Republicans in the state Senate might think about that. Say, how about those poll results, Dean Skelos? No, not the ones showing how the state Senate that you lead is viewed much more favorably by New Yorkers than it was a year […] [Read More]

Courtesy of a 40-25 win over West Allis Central on Jan. 17, the Indians will host West Allis Hale on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. for the Greater Metro Conference dual meet title. If they win, it would be the first league title for Falls since 2006.
"The kids have worked hard for this," Falls coach Jim McMahon said. "We're very close. It's going to be an interesting week. We have (semester) exams so it's going to be hard for the kids to stay mentally prepared, but I know they're excited for this opportunity.
"We know that they're tough," McMahon continued. "We're going to need pins and we're going to have to avoid getting pinned."
Falls, which also sent a mixed team to the Homestead Highlander Invite last Friday and finished fifth, will need some luck on the coin flip, to see which weight class the meet starts at.
The Indians had that luck against Central. It was designated to start at 195 pounds, so McMahon bumped 2012 state qualifier Ayoola Olapo up from 182 and he responded with a technical fall. That started a pivotal run for the Indians, as Matt Alili got vengeance for an earlier loss with a decision at 220 and then Trayvon Handy continued to show improvement at 285 with a pin in the second period.
Then at 106, Aaron Daly dominated an opponent he had barely beaten before and won with a technical fall.
At that point, Falls was up 19-0 and was well on its way to victory.
Other individual wins for the Indians went to Jerrot Holz at 120 (pin), Bill Holz at 126 (technical fall) and to Sam Schwabenlander at 145, Jon Haririe at 152 and Alex Koch at 160.
It marked the second victory for Falls over Central this year.
"It's always a tough match against them," McMahon said, "but the kids responded well, even though they had changed their line up."
To protect the health of certain wrestlers, McMahon ran in a mixed line up of seven starters and seven non-starters in the Highlander meet and the Indians responded with a solid effort.
Schwabenlander (19-10 overall) had the best finish going 4-1 for second on the evening with three pins. Tyler Simcock was third at 152 (3-1, 7-3) while Brian Bonesho was fourth at 113 (3-2, 16-12) and Jake Fuiten was fifth at 170 (4-1, 23-10) as was Casey Crangle at 126 (4-1, 21-11).

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
21 Oct 2012 10:47 GMT | Sierra Leone
Alexandra Readhead is the Global Campaigns Manager, Save the Children, Sierra Leone.
In the outskirts of Sierra Leone's capital Freetown stands Susan's Bay, a massive slum overlooking the ocean. More than 40,000 people live in this place and until recently, the only health facility they could visit was one based in a tiny room at Alice Tamba's house where she provided skeletal services.
Then things changed last March when Save the Children set up a community health centre, the first in four centuries of history of this area. Tamba who runs this centre told me how they can now help more malnourished children, providing simple life-saving oral rehydration solutions and food supplements, in addition to treating many pregnant women who avoided going to hospital.
Susan's Bay reflects the changes taking place in the rest of the country where, until
Then things changed last March when Save the Children set up a community health centre, the first in four centuries of history in this area. Tamba - who runs this centre - told me how they can now help more malnourished children, providing simple life-saving oral rehydration solutions and food supplements, in addition to treating many pregnant women who avoided going to hospital.
Susan's Bay reflects the changes taking place in the rest of the country where, until just two years ago, young mothers and infants were more likely to die than almost anywhere else in the world. Emerging from conflict, Sierra Leone was a grim place to be a mum, especially a mum with a young child. United Nations and World Health Organisation figures were stark: Out of every 1,000 babies born, almost 200 would die before reaching the age of five.
Live Box 201291081132832373
Thanks to the selfless example of healthcare workers such as Tamba, as well as government-led health and nutrition initiatives, the rate of maternal and infant deaths is steadily falling. Key to this transformation was the government's announcement in September 2009 that all health user fees would be removed for pregnant and lactating women and children under the age of five.
The Free Health Care Initiative (FHCI) was launched in April 2010, which aimed to give around 460,000 women and one million children a much better chance of having a longer and happier life.
In the first year alone, there was a 214 per cent increase in the number of children attending outpatient units. More women who needed urgent care began attending facilities and the number of women dying from pregnancy complications at facilities was reduced by an amazing 61 per cent. This initiative has had an incredible effect on the awful health indicators of just a few years ago.
Tamba, like thousands of health workers across the country, has come out to support the implementation of the Free Healthcare Initiative, working round the clock to meet the increased demand, helping turn this into a success story. At Susan's Bay, women and children now have access to the Free Healthcare Initiative at her clinic. This is being replicated elsewhere, ensuring that the healthcare dream is kept alive and well in Sierra Leone.
But much more needs to be done. Sierra Leone is still off-track to reach the target set by Millennium Development Goal 4 to reduce the number of under-five child deaths by two thirds by 2015. And thousands of children continue dying from preventable diseases, many of them caused by malnutrition.
This is the reason why on October 16, coinciding with World Food Day, over 300 school children in Sierra Leone will join 20,000 children across 42 countries in Save the Children's Race for Survival, a global relay race meant to raise awareness on the issue of child malnutrition and mortality. In each country, children will call on world leaders to get serious about tackling the number of under-five child deaths to bring it down by eight million by 2015.
In Sierra Leone, the next three years will be crucial to consolidate the Free Healthcare Initiative and ensure that no more children under the age of five die from preventable causes. Two years on from the launch of Free Healthcare Initiative, Sierra Leone must sustain progress and the government and its partners must ensure that the progress made is sustained and accelerated so that we can reach our common goals.

6 Tips for Being a Better Landlord
Whether you're a first-time landlord or an old pro, there's always room to get better. Improving your skills can increase occupancy rates, make for more consistent revenues, and lead to a less stressed life for you and your business. For some helpful tips on how to up your game, read on.
1. Be More Personable
Landlords all hope to be busy, but that doesn't mean they can't be personable. When tenants stop by with their rent payments, ask about their families or jobs. Inquire about hobbies, too. It's little inquiries like these that can make your tenants feel more appreciated. Be professional, but friendly.
2. Include More Detail In Rental Contracts
If excessive noise is against the rules, note that in the lease – and be detailed. No loud music after 9 p.m., for example. Don't leave anything open to interpretation. If home improvements are restricted, list that as well. Renters may be allowed to repaint their rooms, for example, but not re-carpet their floors. And, if installing a new ceiling fan is prohibited, your tenants are going to appreciate knowing that so they don't waste money buying one.
3. Price Your Rentals Appropriately
Do some market research and see what other rentals in the area are going for, and be sure your properties are priced appropriately. Of course, you want to improve your profits as much as possible. But, if you overprice properties and folks move in only to eventually find they're paying hundreds of dollars more than they could have been, you can harm your reputation. Keep your bottom line in mind, but always stay reasonable.
4. Vet Prospective Tenants
Good tenants can go a long way toward creating a good landlord. Always do criminal background checks, get thorough credit reports, and contact every personal and professional reference. Renting to folks with sketchy histories can lead to trouble further on down the road.
5. Maintain Your Property
Make sure you're addressing the concerns of your renters, whether it's a leaky faucet or a faulty AC system. Nothing can damage a landlord-tenant relationship more than ignoring your tenants' problems. Ramping up your repair department protocols can help a great deal. You're much more likely to have minimal tenant problems when your property is a place they enjoy coming home to.
6. Seek Out Professional Advice
No matter how long you've been a landlord, there's nothing wrong with asking for advice. Professional property management companies provide a wealth of knowledge around legal issues, tenant relations, even evictions. Check out the directory All Property Management to find a local property management company and any of a number of legal blogs targeting landlords. You can also join a professional association in your city or state.
Final Thoughts
If you've got property managers on staff, they serve as conduits to your tenants – so choose them with care. Vet your hires just as much as you do your tenants. Any candidates should have previous experience managing properties, solid accounting and organizational skills, and be trustworthy and reliable. You can do everything in the world to improve your personal landlord skills, but if your direct managers aren't qualified, all your efforts could be lost.

All Property Management Acquired by Buildium.com
To our family of property managers,
Today I'm excited to announce some big news… All Property Management (APM) has been acquired by Buildium, a web-based property management software company that helps property managers to be more effective and efficient.
For more than 10 years, APM has passionately helped thousands of property management companies grow their businesses. We get to wake up everyday and introduce new property owners to hard working property managers, connections that often last many years and generate many thousands of dollars.
In 2014 alone, APM delivered over $50,000,000 worth of new property owner relationships to property managers in the U.S. And now, with Buildium's vast resources and experience, we're able to emphatically say that we're just getting started!
Like APM, Buildium was founded 10 years ago by a couple of guys who are passionate about helping small entrepreneurs succeed. Michael Monteiro and Dimitris Georgakopoulos set out to make it easier for property managers to run more efficient and profitable businesses. Today, Buildium has more than 10,000 property managers using their software to manage over three quarters of a million units! That's an amazing achievement. And under Michael and Dimitris' leadership, APM's service is only going to get better!
This acquisition creates the most complete solution in the property management industry. Together, APM and Buildium are a force to help property managers be more efficient and grow faster.
What's next? Nothing changes for either Buildium or All Property Management customers – you can continue to use the same services you've grown to love. In the coming months, you can expect to hear more about some of the exciting new innovations we have planned for Buildium and APM customers later this year, so stay tuned. And don't worry, your account manager is still here to provide the same great service you've come to expect.
Lastly, we wouldn't be here without you, our customers. Thank you. The best is yet to come!
Jacob Colker
General Manager

Homes in Seattle have appreciated in value: Rent or sell?
Now that homes in Seattle have appreciated in value, is it better to sell or rent out your property?
Most US states have seen a rise in home prices. Further appreciation will come over the next year according to the REALTORS Confidence Index Report released in April 2014. The nation is expected to see property values further increase by a median of 4%. This trend provides homeowners looking to downsize or upgrade the opportunity to keep their current property as an investment.
In fact, the recent home price increases have made it harder to buy a house which has made the rental market go crazy. Rents are increasing and vacancy is decreasing. Choosing to turn your property into a profitable rental is more viable than ever before.
What caused this spike in appreciation?
Mark Ferguson, a successful Northern Colorado real estate broker and rental home investor, commented, "In my market we have almost no inventory. Last year we had 1,500 homes for sale and now we have 300… There simply are not enough lower priced homes for the current buyer demand. That demand is continuing to push prices higher." As home prices rise, more people opt to rent. In turn, this increases the viability of profitable rental properties.
What caused the lower inventory of homes?
One factor was little to no new home construction. Construction of new homes has not kept pace with the post-crisis recovery. With lack of additional inventory entering the housing pool and the population increasing, the market is in short supply, driving demand and prices. Though we have seen a resurgence in new construction in parts of the country, there still remains a huge demand for more affordable housing.
How does this affect property owners or investors?
Ferguson continues to explain, "The great thing about real estate is if you already own property, inflation is not a bad thing. Your rents and values will most likely increase and your payments stay the same. The downside is that its more expensive to buy property, but if the rents are rising as well, you should still be able to make the same amount of margin."
How are property managers partners in this process?
We're obviously biased. We believe that a professional property manager can help you save money and time by avoiding costly mistakes. Give us a call at 877-215-9182 or browse a list of our favorite property managers online!

Scientific Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
642 PM CDT Sat Mar 28 2015
29/00z tafs.
primarily VFR conditions with winds shifting from southerly to
strong northerly. Could see MVFR visibility and ceilings from kpnc down
through kokc/koun from around 09-12z until frontal passage with moisture
increase. Ceilings will be mentioned at kpnc with light fog kokc/koun.
Strong northerly winds expected after frontal passage with VFR conditions.
Previous discussion... /issued 131 PM CDT Sat Mar 28 2015/
several fronts this week will bring wind shifts and chances for
rain, but the warm airmasses will stay in Oklahoma until Thursday.
The first front tomorrow will bring gusty northwest winds and
increased fire danger to western Oklahoma. Relative humidity may
just lower to 20 percent, so a Fire Weather Watch is effective
there tomorrow afternoon. This front is expected to stall tomorrow
night near or south of the Red River. This will be the weather
maker Monday and Tuesday. On Monday weak northwest flow aloft is
expected to impinge on weak southerly winds at the surface for
modest vertical shear. Thunderstorms are possible along and north
of the front in southeast Oklahoma later Monday. A better chance
for thunderstorms comes Tuesday when slightly stronger middle-level
flow is across the area and the front has moved north into more of
Oklahoma. Southern and central Oklahoma have the best chance for
rain. The next front comes Thursday followed by a second, stronger
one Friday. The one on Friday finally brings cooler, more
seasonable weather. A chance for thunderstorms will come with this
front especially in south central and southeast Oklahoma. Middle-

Transplant advice- mature Fargesia grove
I plan to transplant part of a friend's mature small grove of 12' Fargesia Robusta, here in Seattle, this Friday- I have a 2' x 7' x3' deep pit all dug, where I want to move it to (maybe we were a little gung ho on the depth..). I will have a sawzall for cutting out basketball-size chunks of bamboo, for moving.
A few questions-
The middle of the grove is quite dense. Should I cut off culms above the ground, so I end up with 5 canes/so per basketball-sized chunk, to reduce transplant shock? If I do this, should I cut the larger or smaller culms? Should I try to transplant it in smaller chunks, 2 or 3 culms, to give it more room to spread out, and reduce its current density? I, like everyone else, hope for an "instant" privacy screen. Any other transplant tips are most welcome :-)
Thank you so much for helping out a newbie!

Javagal Srinath: Keeping pace with the times
Former India fast-medium bowler Javagal Srinath was born on August 31, 1969 at Mysore. He was perhaps - with due respect to Kapil Dev - the first bowler who extricated India's attack from the mire of military medium pace.
A vegetarian, who spent his first overseas tours in desperate searches for home-tasting 'rasam', Srinath evolved into a genuine quick who thrived on bouncy pitches outside the sub-continent.
It may well have been his legacy of chin music that inspired a generation of Indian youngsters to take up fast bowling, in a climate where batsmen alone were deified. When he drew the curtains on his 11-year international career in 2003, Srinath was second only to Kapil in number of Test wickets by an Indian paceman.
Srinath took 236 wickets at an average of 30.49 and strike rate of 64 from 67 Test matches; and 315 wickets at an average of 28.08 and economy rate of 4.44 in his 229-match ODI career. He is also India's leading wicket taker in World Cups with 44 across the 1992, 1996, 1999 and 2003 editions of the tournament.
Srinath was selected as a match referee by the International Cricket Council in 2006. On November 21, 2010, Anil Kumble and Srinath won the elections for president and secretary of the Karnataka State Cricket Association.

@Eurasian, very good point regarding white privilege vs black disadvantage.
In other countries for example, all citizens have free access to healthcare and education (Grade 1 to tertiary), all paid from taxes.
If I moved to Australia, I would be better off not having to fund these expenses. I therefore do not think I have undue privilege because I am white and living in SA. White people I do not think come to SA because "life is just better here".
I understand our situation is very different, but then I would expect the taxes I pay to help level the playing field (offer free services to people who cannot afford it).
However I do not see much return on my tax payments, either to benefit myself or others.
I have a little problem with point 31.
I am white. I should identify myself as white. As should any person identify him or herself according to their race. I don't think that is the problem. The problem comes in allowing that definition of yourself to mean more than just a categorization.
I've been thinking about contemporary racial issues a lot recently and I agree that most white South Africans (especially in Cape Town) are happily unaware privileged whites. The guilt should come from the actions you take today, not the actions taken by your predecessors. I can't help that I'm white, but I can strive to erase social injustice for every human through my everyday actions.
I feel the same way about tall people. I have to use a little step ladder when reaching for things stacked away in the very top most parts of my cupboards. They are so privileged! Shame on you tall people! Shame on you!
Liewe Gillian, jammer dat ek in afrikaans skryf maar ek kan myself buite"uitdruk" in my moedertaal maar ek dink darem jy kan afrikaans lees. Jy het baie moeite gedoen met hierdie artikel, en aan die einde van die artikel vra jy jou lesers vir nog voorbeelde. Met van jou punte kan ek saamstem maar met ander nie. Jy maak of al wat n wit mens (behalwe jy natuurlik) is soos wat jy hierbo verduidelik het. Die wit mens is die tiran en die swart mens is die slagoffer. Daar is slegs n baie klein persentasie van witmense wat jy hierbo beskryf in SA. Die meeste witmense is gematigde afrikaners en engelse. Ek hoor en lees gereeld van wit mense wat ongelooflike opvoedingswerk en bydraes tot die arm mense (swart of wit) maak en maar dis of dit net niks vir jou beteken nie, jy kyk verby dit. Jy vertel net die slegte maar die ander kant van die muntstuk raak jy nie eens aan nie. Sulke eensydige joernalistiek laat my twyfel aan jou moetiewe vir n beter SA. Jy moedig mense aan om te gaan sit en dink hoe die witmens hulself verheerlik bo the swart mense. Al wat jy eindelik reg kry is swart mense om wit mense te haat en dat hulle dink alle witmense is soos wat jy beskryf. Gaan delf maar lekker diep Jullian en vra jouself af wat jou motiewe nou eindelik is met die skryf van die artikel. Ek daag jou uit om te gaan ondersoek instel na wat die witmense al vir die land en sy mense gedoen het. Jy sal dalk net ander insigte kry.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, but this is a gross generalization of white people and I think that's something you should point out. I think any white person with that mentality needs a serious wake-up call, and I say this as a white person. As a white person who wrote this article, I'm sure you also don't subscribe to the belief systems you have described here. We must not forget that there are white people who truly are not racist and who truly wish for harmony in this country. Just my two cents worth
Wow, i am kind of disgusted with this article. I am white but i don't see color, i grew up in a house of racism and was born in in the apartheid era, but severed myself from it because of my love for humanity. White, black, indian colored, we are all humans and tolerance of one another can go a long way. At current i am studying and putting myself through university by working every day as a contractor, and i'm not eligible to be hired by my current employer because of BEE, which looks solely at your skin and not your achievements. So the government is still promoting racism, although i choose to ignore it.
To the author of this so called article, I have a few questions for you .1. have you ever lived in South Africa as of Late, not back then, NOW, and secondly, every word in this article makes me believe you've never EVER even been to South Africa, now how is that ? i Mean HONESTLY, You must not have heard of Plaasmoorde or farm Murder. I mean this article is a joke, and to any person who reads this article and Agrees with this, i feel sorry for you as you will have the absolute Wrong and downright BIASED opinion of every white human Being in SA. racism exists, it will always exist in South Africa, and every race has a right to be racist.
White people are facing an absolute Dead end of inequality in South Africa today. I am speaking of the Whites of my generation, the youth, who had NOTHING to do with Apartheid, and mostly nothing to benefit from it. The South African Government and Police Service is Horrifically racist towards white people. crime statistics are forged and hidden from the international public, Racist Police officers hijacking, Raping and murdering innocent white families on roads for being "white" . and now you're thinking "what ? this guy is a liar!" and that scares me, as i Live here and i witness this HERE, IN THE STREETS. AND YOU DO NOT,so Go back to your cozy…
White South Africans are Racists? some are.Not that long ago Australians labelled all Aboriginal people as plants /flora and fauna in order to take their Land. As flora and fauna had no right to land. If all South Africans whites were Racists than why there is so many Black people. Maybe you people should check how many millions native Americans vanished,how other populations of colored people vanished around this globe. The Black people are not racists ? Surely they are, some definitely are, take Burundi and Rwanda what was it ?a happy wedding party which just turned up bad? closer look at Europe-clandestine racism and discrimination and the tribe behind the mountain is an enemy.How many whites vanished because some decided that they will be superior from now.The EU established non-discriminatory non-racist laws.What the hell you need any laws for, if you can hardly get through the lawyers in front of the Judge, as lawyers swiping everything under the carpet .Surely not all the countries are like that. Some countries claiming high Human Factor Development and yet there is racism all over. Hardly to call it an animal development factor as animals do not kill and torture their own species like humans do. EU two tier development-what a hell is it-a new word for apartheid. Stop being an hypocrite if you want to be a human, be a real one.
White South African
And all the best for my white and black brothers and sisters.Deranged will stay deranged.Doesn't matter where.
Taken down because of this?
Zepiel, That's the spirit! No blaming of circumstances or of people – rather taking on the challenge of creating excellence in what you do, and therefore opening up the world for yourself and your compatriots. You can and will do better, I believe!
I'm a white privileged male and you are a black privileged male. For both of us its not a curse, but it's a huge responsibility. Now the challenge is to use our opportunities to leverage opportunities for those who has the potential to succeed in even greater excellence than we've achieved, but needs an open door/ opportunity.
I try to do it by teaching some kids in a township nearby to read and trying to motivate them to start dreaming and working towards their goal.
Wanna join me? I am dreaming of a bursary fund for "my" kids to open up a world of opportunities for those who dare to dream….

Pearl Harbor Day: A Tragedy with a Legacy of Heroism
Dec. 7, 1941, was a peaceful Sunday morning on the island paradise of Oahu. Thousands of American service members were just waking, cleaning up for church services or heading off for a day of R&R at the beach. Just before 8 a.m., the explosions started. When the Japanese onslaught stopped almost two hours later, more than 2,400 Americans were dead.
More than 70 years later, a dwindling few survivors remain to share their firsthand memories of the attack on Pearl Harbor. As their numbers decline, the nation's commitment to remember that day grows ever more important. The anniversary is formally recognized as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. And though Congress didn't officially observe the day until 1994, Dec. 7 has always been known, in Franklin D. Roosevelt's terms, as "a date which will live in infamy."
A Prelude to War
While the Pearl Harbor attack caught American forces off guard, the buildup to that fateful day had begun years earlier. For more than a decade, Japan had aggressively sought to seize political and military control over China, and by 1937 the two nations were engaged in an all-out war. The U.S. disapproved of Japan's imperialistic plans, curtailing and eventually halting trade with the Japanese. As Japan's power-grabbing strategy spread into Southeast Asia, it appeared that military intervention from the United States was imminent.
To discourage further Japanese aggression, Roosevelt moved the Navy's Pacific Fleet from San Diego to Hawaii. The Navy was prepared to move into action if the Japanese launched an offensive against several targeted Asian nations. What U.S. officials never expected was that the assault would come to them.
Two waves of Japanese bombers and fighters – more than 350 planes launched from aircraft carriers in the Pacific – descended upon Pearl Harbor with unrelenting force and calculated precision. The surprise attack decimated the Pacific Fleet, sinking four of the eight battleships stationed in the harbor, destroying other massive ships and taking out hundreds of U.S. aircraft.
The strike was intended to prevent the U.S. from interfering in Southeast Asia, while issuing a devastating blow to American morale. But history would have it otherwise.
Fighting Back
For several years prior, the U.S. government had debated whether to enter the escalating global conflict provoked by Germany, Italy and Japan. But now, shocked and enraged by the premeditated attack, the American people supported retaliation with near-unanimous fervor. The day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States declared war on Japan, effectively launching the country into World War II. Three days later, Germany and Italy declared war on America, and the largest military confrontation in history approached its boiling point.
The name Pearl Harbor will be forever tied to tragedy. But as the flag flies at half-staff each Dec. 7, Americans can also take pride in what occurred that day and the years that followed. Fifteen Medals of Honor and dozens of other commendations were bestowed upon American service members for their selfless heroism during the attack. As the nation banded together in war, America reminded the world of its resilience, its sense of responsibility and its resolve to fight for what is right.
USAA salutes the veterans who were lost at Pearl Harbor, the ones who lived on and the generations of service members who have followed in their footsteps.
I was born in January of 1943. My older sister was born on Pearl Harbor Day. My uncle served on Corrigidor and endured the Bataan Death March. He spent the rest of the War in Japanese prison and work camps. When he was liberated, he was re-united with his older brother at Pearl Harbor and weighed less than 100 lbs. The base commander met my uncle departing from the ship when he arrived, with my Dad, gave them his jeep for the day to tour the island and enjoy their liberty. He shared the unspeakable ordeal with my father only and died in his 50's from the ravages of that war. When my father and uncle returned home together they came into my little bedroom in their uniforms and asked me which one was my father. I picked my uncle Veral...to the lasting family story that has become dear to me. May God bless all those families who loved and lost, and gave their lives to us and built a better future. May we learn to appreciate what they did, what history reveals about good and evil, and embrace the good with thankful hearts.
David Crowe
Thank you for the great piece. I can add little to it. I buried my father at ANC this past November. I am retired Navy. What you wrote expressed my thoughts as I walked behind my father's caisson to the four beat funeral dirge.
There is a knee weakening sense of gratitude that thoughtful people feel when they contemplate the sacrifice and service of military families. It can be nearly incomprehendable. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all service members (My father's habitual greeting on his Christmas cards).

Public Safety - 24785 - PAPA 599 - 901 – Meets Friday and Saturday – Jul 10-11, Jul 24-25 and Jul and Aug 1
Jay Keeven has enjoyed a comprehensive policing career with the Illinois State Police, a nationally recognized and accredited agency, providing senior management and leadership in the fields of administration, patrol, intelligence and investigations – achieving the rank of Major. Mr. Keeven is the Director of Police for the City of Edwardsville.
This graduate level course addresses many of the contemporary problems in American public security and policing, some of which have not changed since the founding of the republic while others were never conceived as a police function but have emerged as a result of adynamic society. The course focuses largely on a major element of public security and emergency preparedness in the United States, most notably local police and other first responders. As such, emphasis is placed on the genesis of policing in the United States, the typesof police organizations in existence, who the police officers are, where they come from, what they actually do on the job and, whether or not their efforts are efficacious. Additionally, recent emergency security incidents are studied such as school shootings, hostagetakings, and lone wolf offender analyses. Needless to say, this encompasses quite a bit of material and a micro assessment is beyond the scope of this single course. Nevertheless, the course has a strong local policing orientation wherein each student will be asked to think about their own local police department and whether or not it is providing quality public security; and whether their department, along with other enforcement agencies is prepared to handle significant emergency events.

Sidecar Tommy from Beats Antique joined us live in studio for some live mixing of their glorious fusion of of beats and tunes from around the globe. We heard many yet to be released tracks! You may also know Tommy as the drummer of the Yard Dogs Road Show.
Beats Antique forges a curious alliance between middle eastern traditions and potent west coast circus, underground hip hop, breakbeat brass band, downtempo, glitch and dubstep.

December and Spring bulbs are blooming!
I noticed my Hyacinth and daffodills are budding their flowers and it's still December. I know it's been very warm but won't that hurt the plants if we get -20F weather in January? Should I just cover them with something or leave hoping they'll make it through the winter. They are already few inches tall.
Do you have similar things happening in your garden?
My grape hyacinth have sent up their usual grassy foliage.
I have a circular bed around a front garden, and had a hard time getting my lawn man to 'let them grow'.
In spite of the spate of unusually warm weather here in SE WI (West Bend)no Daffs or tulips have poked their heads up. (South-facing front lawn- 3 weeks of warm weather)
If my spring bloomers were already putting up spears of blooms, I am not sure what I would do. I guess I would
just let them go and do their thing. Then wish for better timing next year.
Maybe I will buy and read Al Gores new book/video. many things are out of whack.
I have some snowdrops and daffodils against a southern exposure on my garage that I planted there on purpose to produce exactly this effect - third January in a row now with blooming flowers, they usually start the last week of December. The early cold and then a warmup like we had this year always gets them going.
The earlier bulbs will survive no problem. Especially if they get covered with snow before the next cold snap. If not, you might lose some of the early blooms, but the bulb survives. I think spring bulbs bloom longer in cold weather anyway. If we get an early 80F (like late March or April), that seems to exhaust the bulbs even more than a cold snap. Besides, they give you something to look at outside this time of year!
