Comments Thread For: Bernstein Expects Guerrero To Test Floyd Mayweather
We now know Robert The Ghost Guerrero is the lucky fighter to win the Floyd Mayweather sweepstakes as he will face him May 4th in Las Vegas, NV at the MGM Grand. Guerrero has been clamoring for this fight since last year and it took a tough win over a then unknown Selcuk Aydin and former champion Andre Berto to earn his chance at the pound for pound king.
Depending on who you talk to, the fight is either considered a walk in the park for Floyd or Floyd is going to be in for one of the tougher nights of his career. Showtime commentator Al Bernstein thinks it will be the latter as he discussed his thoughts on the fight when he appeared on the most recent episode of BoxingScenes official radio show The Boxing Lab.

Looking forward to this. Al Bernstein and Malignaggi are great to listen to during a fight...they give intelligent and insightful commentary. (although it's true that Paulie's scorecards leave you scratching your head sometimes.)
Guerrero will give Floyd a tough time of it. It's going to be a competitive bout. |

You say that he can explain what's going on in the ring but then say he can't judge. While he's judging, he's actively telling you how he's scoring. He accounted for the body attack that Cotto put on, that's where is scorecard came from. I mean, he was pretty explicit that he thought alot of the body work was going unaccounted for in the official judges. So I mean, what he's explaining, is also how he's scoring. I had the Trout fight 7-5 for Trout. I thought he came strong, lulled in the middle rounds and fought his ass off in the championship rounds to grab a deserved win. I can't wait to see these guys call the fight. They're very professional. I also can't wait for Jim Gray vs. Mayweather. It'll be more interesting than the fight itself |

i wrote an article at the beginning of january stating that floyd , if he choose robert he would have his work cut out for him , floyd definitely has to earn his money this fight its nowhere near as easy for floyd as many people are making out to be.
I think the Guerrero of old is long gone, which is why he resorts to pressuring, and smothering. I don't think he can be as methodical or as technical as he once was due to the weight, he lost some speed and he's more flat footed, I hate to get ahead of myself but I think we're gonna see the same Guerrero that fought Berto, maybe a little stronger but still the same. He'll at times try to box but Mayweather will quickly convince him to throw away that approach.

'Budget proposals for nature conservation a hoax'
The governemnt should withdraw from the controversial airport project at Aranmula if it was serious and sincere about its recent budget proposals, Communist Party of India district unit secretary P. Prasad has said.
In a statement issued here on Sunday, Mr. Prasad alleged that the budget proposals had got a lot of contradictions with various projects launched by the United Democratic Front (UDF) government and it amply exposed the government's double standards.
The budget presented by Finance Minister K.M. Mani had proposed the setting up of 'green villages' to ensure food safety, water safety, energy safety, and environment conservation and had allocated a total of Rs.42 crore for the same — Rs.3 crore each for the 14 districts.
How could the government justify the proposal when it had decided to take 10 per cent equity in a private airport project that required conversion of a large extent of paddy land, wetland, and natural streams at Aranmula, the CPI leader asked.
Mr. Prasad said it was an irony on the part of the government to announce the setting up of a 'green village' in each district on the one hand and destroy the biodiversity and ecological balance of a heritage village like Aranmula in the name of a private airport project.
Drought and water scarcity
The CPI leader said paragraphs 46 and 47 of the budget spoke loudly about the alarming drought situation in the State and stressed the need to initiate effective measures to address the problem that was likely to aggravate in the years ahead. It further announced the decision to launch soil and water conservation measures, quoting a NASA study report on the depletion of ground water table in the State.
He alleged that the budget proposals in this regard were mere humbug aimed at misleading the common people as the government had already given active support for conversion of nearly 500 acres of paddy land, wetland, and natural streams in Aranmula.
Mr. Prasad said people of Kerala were wise enough to understand the government's machinations to cover up its unholy nexus with the land and real estate lobby by announcing projects for paddy land and wetland protection, besides soil and water conservation.
If the government had any sincerity in its budget proposals, it should take immediate steps to protect the paddy lands, wetland, hills, sacred groves, and the natural streams at Aranmula, he said.
The CPI leader said Mr. Mani's budget proposals clearly accepted the fact that the issues raised against the controversial airport project at Aranmula were serious and based on scientific reasons. If the government accepted the budget proposals in its true spirit, it should retreat from its decision to support the project, he added.

In case you missed them: Nate Robinson's and Andre Iguodala's game winners (VIDEO)
Apr 5, 2013, 11:11 AM EDT
Just three games on Thursday but two of them came down to the final seconds and saw game winners.
Andre Iguodala had the ball in his hand at the end for the Nuggets (that's going to happen with Ty Lawson out) and he shows off a sweet crossover and move to hit the shot in the lane.
Below, Nate Robinson makes the steal of a Brook Lopez pass and pushes the ball the ball back the other way, and when a fast-break shot doesn't materialize and he brings the ball back out, you know he's not passing. He's going to make the play. And he does, a floater over Lopez. As you can see, Lopez had a rough last couple minutes of that game (he missed a key lay-up trying to draw the foul, too).

Competition is, in general, better than monopoly -- and in this case, the monopoly was already failing. Even if you're not a big fan of the free market, why would you want to preserve a monopoly that's obviously doing a bad job? How could allowing choice possibly have been worse than keeping students trapped in failing public schools?
The governor announced his plan last year. Thousands of parents cheered the idea. But most public educators and politicians didn't.
School boards and teachers unions objected. PTAs even sent kids home with a letter saying, "Contact your legislator. How can we spend state money on something that hasn't been proven?"
(Apparently, it was better to spend state money on something that had been proven not to work.)
The governor's plan "would decimate public education in South Carolina, and it's just not good for us," said State Representative Todd Rutherford.
The teachers union paid for ads that argued schools were getting better. Legislators obediently voted down the governor's plan, 60-53.
The state superintendent of schools, Inez Tenenbaum, was relieved. "It was an unproven, unaffordable, and unaccountable plan," she told me.
It may have been unaccountable in the bureaucratic sense -- lacking the arbitrary supervision of some appointed head honcho -- but it would have been the essence of accountability in a much more meaningful way: Schools would have had to satisfy students and parents, or they would have lost their customers.
And unproven? Yes. It was unproven because the bureaucrats, the teachers' unions and their legislative allies are vigilant in their efforts to prevent anyone from trying it. They've gotten their hands on America's children, and they have no intention of letting go.

I realize that Nokia Drive is a beta but I have an unusual problem that I have not seen reported. Vocal turn by turn doesn't have give me spoken directionswhen I am connected to my Toyotas Bluetooth. The spoken turn by turn does work if I am not connected to Bluetooth or if I am running music thru the Bluetooth on my car. Very odd. Anyone else have this or know of a solution?
the 920 seems to be having issues with "certain" cars when it comes to bluetooth. for example, i have no problem with mine when it's paired with my gf's car (lexus gs350) but on my car it gets wacky (evolution x). phone freezes and i have to reset.

I have the same issues. Noticed yesterday when I used Nokia Drive for the first time. I never heard any voice commands at all until I stopped and shut off the engine to double check it. I'm driving a VW Passat and the phone has frozen and crashed three times (twice when someone was calling me as I was calling someone else)
It's frustrating and I hope it gets fixed soon! -

text: I am keeping myself busy with photographing children at preschool centers this fall. I have Bright Beginnings Early Childhood Center, Sonlight Christian Childcare Center and Cedar Riverside Preschool. I like working with children and working with preschools allows me to offer families a discounted rate on portraits of their children. One downfall to this arrangement is that some parents compare us to the school photographers and Walmart who only shoot one image. I take an average of 20-30 images to make sure I get 7-9 images that are acceptable to offer parents. This way parents can create a composite collage of their child, have a bag created, order multiple different prints of different images and still not break the bank. I have to say, that I would not do preschools if I didn't like the kids. Don't get me wrong, you get some kids who are just petrified of the camera, but it makes for a challenge. In the end, I usually get what I need, even if it means bringing in a chicken…. Don't laugh, it happened last year with Little Miss Elsa at Riverside Preschool.

Died | November 6, 1928[1] New York City |
(aged 46)
Nationality | American |
Other names | The Brain, Mr. Big, The Fixer, The Man Uptown, The Big Bankroll |
Occupation | Racketeer, businessman, crime boss, bootlegger |
Religion | Judaism |
Parent(s) | Abraham and Esther Rothstein |

Arnold Rothstein (January 17, 1882 – November 6, 1928),[2][3] nicknamed "the Brain", was a Jewish-American racketeer, businessman and gambler who became a kingpin of the Jewish mob in New York. Rothstein was widely reputed to have organized corruption in professional athletics, including conspiring to fix the 1919 World Series.
According to crime writer Leo Katcher, Rothstein "transformed organized crime from a thuggish activity by hoodlums into a big business, run like a corporation, with himself at the top."[4] According to Rich Cohen, Rothstein was the person who first realized that Prohibition was a business opportunity, a means to enormous wealth, who "understood the truths of early century capitalism (giving people what they want) and came to dominate them."[5] His notoriety inspired several fictional characters based on his life, portrayed in contemporary and later short stories, novels, musicals and films.
Rothstein failed to pay a large debt resulting from a fixed poker game and was murdered in 1928. His illegal empire was broken up and distributed among a number of other underworld organizations and led in part to the downfall of Tammany Hall and the rise of reformer Fiorello La Guardia. Ten years after his death, his brother declared Rothstein's estate was bankrupt.
Early life and education[edit]
Arnold Rothstein was born in Manhattan, the son of a wealthy Jewish immigrant racketeer and businessman, Abraham Rothstein, and his wife Esther.[6] After his early use of chicanery, extortion, and theft, the elder Rothstein disavowed such behavior in later years and became known as a philanthropist, donating to Beth Israel Hospital. Arnold was skilled at mathematics, was well-read, and was being groomed to take over the legitimate business of his father. However, Arnold dropped out of school and developed an early interest in illegitimate business which he easily found amongst his father's early connections. His older brother studied to become a rabbi.[7]
While still a child, Rothstein began to indulge in gambling, but no matter how often his father scolded him for shooting dice, Rothstein would not stop. In a rare interview in 1921, Rothstein was asked how he became a gambler: "I always gambled. I can't remember when I didn't. Maybe I gambled just to show my father he couldn't tell me what to do, but I don't think so. I think I gambled because I loved the excitement. When I gambled, nothing else mattered."[8]
Illegitimate career[edit]
By 1910, Rothstein at age 28 had moved to the Tenderloin section of Manhattan, where he established an important gambling casino. He also invested in a horse racing track at Havre de Grace, Maryland, where he was reputed to have fixed many of the races that he won. Rothstein had a wide network of informants, very deep pockets from amongst his father's banking community, and the willingness to pay a premium for good information, regardless of the source. His successes made him a millionaire by age 30.
1919 World Series[edit]
There is a great deal of evidence for and against Rothstein being involved in the 1919 World Series fix.[9] In 1919, Rothstein's agents allegedly paid members of the Chicago White Sox to "throw", or deliberately lose, the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. He bet against them and made a significant profit in what was called the "Black Sox Scandal".[10]
He was summoned to Chicago to testify before a grand jury investigation of the incident; Rothstein said that he was an innocent businessman, intent on clearing his name and his reputation. Prosecutors could find no evidence linking Rothstein to the affair, and he was never indicted. Rothstein testified:
The whole thing started when (Abe) Attell and some other cheap gamblers decided to frame the Series and make a killing. The world knows I was asked in on the deal and my friends know how I turned it down flat. I don't doubt that Attell used my name to put it over. That's been done by smarter men than Abe. But I was not in on it, would not have gone into it under any circumstances and did not bet a cent on the Series after I found out what was under way.[11]
In another version of the story, Rothstein was first approached by Joseph "Sport" Sullivan, a gambler, who suggested Rothstein help fix the World Series. Rothstein supposedly turned down Sullivan's proposal but when he received Attell's offer, Rothstein reconsidered Sullivan's first offer. He figured that the competition to fix the game made it worth the risk to get involved and still be able to cover his involvement. David Pietrusza's biography of Rothstein suggested that the gangster worked both ends of the fix with Sullivan and Attell.[12] Michael Alexander concluded that Attell fixed the Series "probably without Arnold Rothstein's approval", which "did not prevent Rothstein from betting on the Series with inside knowledge."[13]
The odd thing – or perhaps not – about the legal battle surrounding the World Series fix, Leo Katcher says, is that "all the records and minutes of the Grand Jury disappeared. So, too, did the signed confessions of Cicotte, Williams and Jackson… The state, virtually all of its evidence gone, sought to get the players to repeat their confession on the stand. This they refused to do, citing the Fifth Amendment." Eventually, the judge had no choice but to dismiss the case. Katcher states, "Thus, on the official record and on the basis of [State Attorney Maclay] Hoyne's statement, Rothstein was never involved in the fixing of the Series. Also, on the official record, it was never proved that the Series had been fixed." All eight White Sox players were forever banned from the game of baseball. Despite all his denials, though, Katcher notes that "while Rothstein won the Series, he won a small sum. He always maintained it was less than $100,000. It actually was about $350,000. It could have been much – very much – more. It wasn't because Rothstein chicken [sic] out. A World Series fix was too good to be true – even if it was true."[9]
1921 Travers Stakes[edit]
Under the pseudonym "Redstone Stable", Rothstein owned a racehorse named Sporting Blood, which won the 1921 Travers Stakes under suspicious circumstances. Rothstein allegedly conspired with a leading trainer, Sam Hildreth, to drive up the odds on Sporting Blood. Hildreth entered an outstanding three-year-old, Grey Lag, on the morning of the race, causing the odds on Sporting Blood, to rise to 3-1. Rothstein bet $150,000 through bookmakers, allegedly having been informed that the second favorite, Prudery, was off her feed. Just before post time and without explanation, Hildreth scratched Grey Lag from the starting list. Rothstein collected over $500,000 in bets plus the purse, but a conspiracy was never proven.[14]
Prohibition and organized crime[edit]
With the advent of Prohibition, Rothstein saw the opportunities for business; he diversified into bootlegging and narcotics. Liquor was brought in by smuggling along the Hudson River, as well as from Canada across the Great Lakes and into upstate New York. Rothstein also purchased holdings in a number of speakeasies.
With his banking support, and high-level political connections, Rothstein soon managed to end-run Tammany Hall to the street gangs. Subsequently, his criminal organization included such underworld notables as Meyer Lansky, Jack "Legs" Diamond, Charles "Lucky" Luciano, and Dutch Schultz, whose combined gangs and double-dealing with their own respective bosses subverted the entire late 19th century form of political gangsterism. Rothstein's various nicknames were Mr. Big, The Fixer, The Man Uptown, The Big Bankroll and The Brain.
Rothstein frequently mediated differences between the New York gangs and reportedly charged a hefty fee for his services. His favorite "office" was Lindy's, at Broadway and 49th Street in Manhattan. He often stood on the corner surrounded by his bodyguards and did business on the street. Rothstein made bets and collected debts from those who had lost the previous day.[citation needed] Meanwhile, he exploited his role as mediator with the city's legitimate business world and soon forced Tammany Hall to recognize him as a necessary ally in its running of the city.
On November 6, 1928, Arnold Rothstein was shot and mortally wounded during a business meeting at Manhattan's Park Central Hotel at Seventh Avenue near 55th Street.[15][16] He died the next day at the Stuyvesant Polyclinic Hospital in Manhattan.[2] The shooting was reportedly linked to debts owed from a 3-day long, high-stakes poker game in October. Rothstein hit a cold streak and ended up owing $320,000 ($4.3 million in 2014 dollars). He claimed the game was fixed and refused to pay his debt. The hit was intended to punish Rothstein for failing to pay his debt.[17] The gambler George "Hump" McManus was arrested for the murder, but later acquitted for lack of evidence.[17]
According to Kevin Cook in the book Titanic Thompson (2010), the poker game was fixed by gambler Titanic Thompson (real name Alvin Clarence Thomas) and his associate, Nate Raymond. Due to some complicated side bets, by the end Rothstein owed $319,000 to Raymond (much of which Raymond was due, by secret agreement, to pass on to Thompson); $30,000 to Thompson; and approximately $200,000 to the other gamblers present. McManus owed Rothstein $51,000. Rothstein stalled for time, saying that he would not be able to pay until after the elections of November 1928, when he expected to win $550,000 for successfully backing Herbert Hoover for President and Franklin D. Roosevelt for Governor. Thompson testified at McManus's trial, describing him as "a swell loser" who would never have shot Rothstein.[18] According to Cook, Thompson later told some of his acquaintances that the killer had not been McManus, but his "bag-man", Hyman Biller, who fled to Cuba shortly afterwards.[18]
In his Kill the Dutchman! (1971), a biography of Dutch Schultz, the crime reporter Paul Sann suggests that Schultz murdered Rothstein. He says this was in retaliation for the murder of Schultz's friend and associate, Joey Noel, by Rothstein's protégé, Jack "Legs" Diamond.
On his deathbed, Rothstein refused to identify his killer, answering police inquiries with "You stick to your trade. I'll stick to mine."[19] and "Me mudder (my mother) did it."[20] Rothstein was buried at Ridgewood's Union Field Cemetery in an Orthodox Jewish ceremony.
Break-up of empire[edit]
At his death, Prohibition was in full swing, various street gangs were battling for control of the liquor distribution, and the carefully constructed political boss structure of the late 19th century was in total collapse. Frank Erickson, Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, and other former associates split up Rothstein's various "enterprises" after his death. With Rothstein's death, the corrupt and already weakened Tammany Hall was critically wounded, because it relied on Rothstein to control the street gangs.[21] With Tammany Hall's fall, reformer Fiorello La Guardia rose in prominence and was elected Mayor of New York City in 1933.
Ten years after his death, Arnold Rothstein's brother declared Rothstein's estate bankrupt and Arnold's wealth disappeared.[2]
In popular culture[edit]
- Rothstein is referred to as "The Brain" in several of Damon Runyon's short stories, including a fictional version of his death in "The Brain Goes Home". (As a newspaper reporter, Runyon came to know Rothstein personally and later covered the trial of his alleged killer.)
- In the novel The Great Gatsby, Meyer Wolfsheim is a Jewish friend and mentor of Gatsby's, described as a gambler who fixed the World Series. Wolfsheim appears only twice in the novel, the second time refusing to attend Gatsby's funeral. He is a clear allusion to Arnold Rothstein.
- Rothstein was portrayed by several actors in films: By Robert Lowery in the 1960, The Rise and Fall of "Legs" Diamond; by David Janssen in the 1961, King of the Roaring 20's - The Story of Arnold Rothstein (aka The Big Bankroll); by Michael Lerner in the 1988, Eight Men Out, based on the Black Sox Scandal; and by F. Murray Abraham, in the 1991 Mobsters.
- In The Godfather Part II, Hyman Roth mentions Rothstein as someone who arranged a sport game result. Even more, Roth was the name that Vito Corleone gave him when he was a young boy (Roth's real surname being difficult to pronounce), after Hyman spoke of his admiration of the gambler.
- In the HBO series Boardwalk Empire, a fictionalized version of Rothstein is portrayed by Michael Stuhlbarg. Also, two episodes vaguely refer to Rothstein having indigestion and that laxatives were being administered into his food unbeknownst to him. No actual account states that he had stomach trouble.
- Waxey Gordon – worked as a rum-runner for Rothstein during the first years of Prohibition.
- Harry "Nig" Rosen – involved in narcotics with Rothstein during the mid-1920s.

To me it seems that there is a lack of strong female pair skaters in Canada. They either can't do the SBS jumps and/or throws, or else they are so unpolished/unrefined/unsophisticated that you just know they are never going to do anything at the senior international level with respect to PCS marks. I think there's a big problem in Canada in that many of our female skaters (ice dancers excluded) are not encouraged to take ballet. As a result, they look like truck drivers out there. I thought Skate Canada was supposed to be encouraging ballet 10 years ago with the coaches, but I'm not seeing that that is happening. Either the parents don't buy it, or the coaches don't think it's important.
So it looks like we have the Kitchener-Waterloo brigade in this thread. The problem with MT&M is that they zero finesse, polish, toe point, etc in their skating. There are times where she skates around with arms dropped beside her. Nothing is ever placed. They just bomb around from one element to the next rushing through the music and movements. Hopefully there will be improvements this fall. As for Jones & Gaskell, I think he has potential, but she needs big time work on posture, edge quality, stroking, toe point, etc. She can't even hit a good position in the BODS. One of the worst I've ever seen. I blame the coaching situtation. The Wirtzes were never the most polished team out there. Kristy herself was a bit of a truck driver and obviously they (as coaches) have put all the emphasis on the "big tricks" and pretty much nothing else. It's a shame because their teams are athletic.
Truck driver is a good description- even some of Canada's more refined pairs have that quality. My all time favorite Canadian pair -Hough & Laudret. They're Canadian (I hope), right? Boy I love watching their old routines on SOI video clips. Toughy(ie?) Hough could dance rock'n'roll on the ice like no other. Maybe SC needs to start farming out their pairs to some of the non-Canadian coaches around.
I agree. This to me is the biggest problem. What I would like to know is, why is it usually the girls who seem to have so much more trouble with the SBS jumps than the guys? It was a big problem for Jamie Sale for many years, and now it continues to be a big problem for Annabelle Langlois and Jessica Dube. I have rarely seen these ladies get through a long program without a problem on the SBS jumps. Despite the fact that Cody Hay has less experience than Langlois, he is already more consistent on his SBS jumps than she is. Why are the guys more consistent?
I'm curious Rafter. Are you a (former) skater, a coach, a judge or just a skating fan? I don't mean to offend by this question, I'm just quite interested in what background you bring to your criticisms. Would you consider sharing teams and/or coaches that you admire and the reasons for that. I don't have a dance or skating background. I'm just a fan but I'm interested in learning more.
No idea but if dance teams can go to non-Canadian coaches, can't a Canadian team go to Muskvina or something? Just - Barabe is the worst, IMO. These are simply impressions and I'm open to correction, but she seems like she coddles D&D and is more of a peer than a coach. Fine if they're getting results, but they're not. For instance, she let on that D&D were disappointed at first in Vancouver but then realized sixth (seventh?) in the world is amazing. Heeelllloooooo! It's like this team spends way too much time contemplating the universe and their place in it and not enough time getting themselves and their skating in the absolute best condition they can possibly be, raising the bar and trying to push past it. That's how it has to be done. Have to wonder how William Thompson and Skate Canada looks at their situation right now. He touted the results of all of the skaters but D&D, but what's the answer? Toss em in the trash, pull the plug? A meeting that includes pep talks and goal setting without any change in environment? I mean, ??
I think that more top pairs should go to Lee Barkell. He has Langlois/Hay and for all his singles coaching success (Jeff, Chris Mabee, Nobu, Joey Russell...), pairs is really his specialty, so I'm surprised he doesn't have more top pairs there.
I don't think there's much left in the way of pairs in Barrie though. It's uncertain if Langlois/Hay are continuing and their other senior team Pisotta/Stewart have split and well as their junior team of Bird/Schultz so it doesn't seem there's much of a pairs environment there any more. There aren't a lot of pairs training centres in Canada really. There's Kevin Wheeler in Preston, Scott Rachuk in Strathroy, the Wirtzs in Waterloo and then Gauthier and Barabe in Quebec and then I think Lawrence and Sweigers are with Hole in Saskatchewan. Might be kind of interesting, if one had a lot of time on their hands, to do a medal count for each of them lol!
If I was a skater I would want to hang up my skates after reading some of these posts. How can anyone say that a skater who has reached the level that these kids have has 'zero' anything???? As a fan, I sat through Canadians and was so inspired by the depth that there seemed to be, in pairs especially. I can honestly say that I never once thought about a skaters' toe point or whether or not they looked like a truck driver or whether or not they sucked because they lacked consistency. I did however think WOW how awesome are these skaters. How amazing that they have the courage to do what they are doing.
I was in London, too, and I agree that it was great to see lots of confident senior pairs teams, each with their own style, putting on a great show. But when teams reach this level, people begin to look at their international potential, and look at what it would take for them to get podium results at senior Grand Prixs. And that's where the comments and criticisms (often constructive, although not always phrased as such) come in. If teams are happy with success at the National level (and that is a great achievement in itself) then they needn't worry about the comments. If they want international success, there's more work to do.
Don't you think that the teams know where improvement is needed? I would think that they're working on it. I really hope that they don't read these sites!
These sites aren't for the skaters, they're for the fans. And the fans can talk about all this stuff because this is what is interesting to the Fans. IMO, if a skater comes in here at all, he/she should know what to expect and not get upset that there's (gasp!) criticism.
Maybe Fedor Andreev can go back to his old idea of skating pairs? There just may be a spot on an Olympic team for him, after all. By hook or crook!
If it's true - then good move. Hopefully, she'll get some ballet training. They have the tricks but zero finesse.
According to Langlois facebook status, she has decided to retire ...best of luck to her and Cody in their future endeavors... they will be missed!
Glad to hear about the Jones/Gaskell move! Not to knock the Wirtzes - their teams are always extremely well-trained for every competition, and he seems to be able to teach ALL his teams how to a triple twist - but Jones/Gaskell did not seem to be improving all that much. At least not in their second mark. I agree I wish more teams would train with Barkell. Not sure why he isn't really building his pairs school. His teams always seem to have the classic/balletic look that (rightly or wrongly) the International judges still seem to prefer.
Thanks for the truck driver comment, rafter. Succinct. Saves me trying to find a diplomatic way of putting it. Kristin has got to get those shoulders down , and Kristy is not the one to teach her that... I, too, would love to see more pairs go to Lee Barkell..Lenny and Jazz had some pretty good programs, as I remember, plus good line. Gautier also seems very good about getting some dance training for his skaters, working on line etc. I think he's done wonders for Tran and his partner ( whose name wants to elude me at the mo..), he just hasn't had the best material to work with lately. But I can't echo strongly enough the need for ballet training ( or modern dance , or yoga ..something stretchy and strengthening)Why must it come as an afterthought, when there's a problem to correct... when it could be built into the training at a young age. I remember Skate Canada paid it some lip service in the past..but we're sure not seeing much of it on the ice. It should be a requirement, not a suggestion.
Guess what, all the Wirtz teams are taking ballet/dance classes as well as Pilates. Not every skater is naturally balletic.
I don't get why Kristy is not the one to teach skaters these skills. Just because she didn't excel in that area? Oh, I didn't realize Tarasova does triple axels in her sleep.
well I'm obviously in the minority but I actually think the pairs program in Canada is in good shape. The novice and junior pairs at Canadians were looking very good and our senior results speak for themselves. IMHO Kris & Kristy are good at developing a well packaged pair team, or any team for that fact.. however I agree about the lack of flexibility in Kristen's back.. but she had that as a singles skater too - but as long as they are working on it I think this team can do well, they have great personalities on the ice. Bryce and Jessie are too good to toss out - hey when they are 'off' they are like 7th in the world - when they are 'on' they are fighting for the bottom of the podium - pretty damned decent .. Now if we could reign in some of our wayward pairs skaters who are skating for other countries we would be in even better shape
Well, I'm glad to hear that the Wirtz's pupils get ballet etc.. I hope it's enough. And it is hard to tell how much blame to pass around when the coach may not see the skaters 'til they're in their teens and some bad habits may already be set (more difficult to untrain something , than to train good habits in from a young age). However , when I see Kristin give the same automatic hitch of the shoulders leading into an element that typified Kristy's skating, and the same stiffness..it makes me suspicious. Kristy did work to improve this toward the end of her career ( after some work with a Russian coach?) but she never really overcame it. So I wonder how much importance they place on it ,whether it registers with her to the same degree as it might with another coach...Really. I'm on the west coast , I'd like to know. Valerie Marcoux was likewise very stiff 'til Richard Gauthier took her on and it took quite a while to make a big improvement. Gauthier is very good in this respect ..He's worked wonders with Duhamel as well..but it may never be quite enough to fully compensate for the stiffness,lack of turnout that was allowed to set in in her early career. Lee Barkell seems to always be able to develop good line and extension in his skaters... he just hasn't had many lately. But I just shake my head when year in, year out, Bryce Davison's extension never improves ( and OT ...who keeps thinking it's OK for him to skate in rumpled street pants, with the pockets gaping.). I'm not down on any of our upcoming pairs..I'd just like to see them realize their full potential. And it's not a matter of a balletic style versus an athletic style. An athletic style still looks better with good position.
There's a contradiction if I've ever heard one! Gautier has worked wonders with Duhamel BUT why would he have to since since Meagan trained under Lee Barkell previously. If he ALWAYS is able to develop good line and extension than why did Duhamel any work at all? The coaches/choreographers need to be given a break. They can only work with what they're given.
When Meagan was doing pairs under Lee her partner was Ryan Arnold who wasn't exactly the greatest - I don't think she was really able to reach her potential with him or would have improved if their partnership stayed. Also, at that time both Meagan and Ryan were doing singles as well, so I don't think Lee was able to really spend the time working on pairs with them that was required to get her there.

Siebel Forecasting Guide >
The topic discusses some of the problems you may encounter as you use Siebel Forecasting. To resolve a problem, look for it in the list of Symptoms/Error messages in Table 8.
Queries run in the Details view in the Forecasts screen affect the information shown in the Summary view in the Forecasts screen.
End users may have to requery to see each of the forecast summary records after running a query on the forecast details.
Forecast Details view shows product line items that were deleted before creating the forecast.
While it is unlikely that any best practice would include the deletion of an opportunity that included revenue estimates, end users do have the ability to delete an opportunity. If an end user deletes an opportunity, but does not delete the associated revenues, then those revenues are maintained, and will be included in the next forecast.
End users should delete each revenue associated with the opportunity before deleting the opportunity if those revenues are not meant to be forecasted.
Revenues in the Opportunities screen > Revenues view do not appear in the parent account
End users may find that if they create an opportunity and assign revenues to it before they define the parent account, then those revenues will not be associated with the parent account.
If end users set the parent account in the opportunity first and then create the revenues, the revenues will be correctly associated with the parent account.
Cannot create a forecast.

Check the forecast log file on your server to find the source of this problem. These files are typically located as follows:
Siebel Mobile Client (siebel.exe) installation:

The error in the previous example occurred on October 30th, 2004, when running a WW Sales forecast for a regional sales manager with the user ID of MSTERN. The error occurred because a revenue record that was to be included in the forecast included an invalid value for the Revenue Class picklist. In this example, the error can be corrected by adjusting the Revenue Class LOV to include a value called BackLog, or by changing the Revenue Class on the offending record to a choice that is still valid.
NOTE: It is most likely in this example that the valid values for the Revenue Class field were changed and the old data was never cleaned up.
After this issue is corrected, the forecast can be deleted and rerun, or the missing revenue record can be added manually.

Maximum Plate/Screen Voltage 6550 in UL
I have two of John Atwood's One Electron BFT-1B PTs that I want to use in a pair of 6550 monoblocs. This PT has two HT windings, one is 770V CT, the other is 520V CT. The 770V tap translates to about 530V plate quiescent.
The 6550 datasheet seems to limit the applied voltage to 450V. Can I cheat on this up to 530V, and if so then I guess the OT has to be able to take it too. I'm looking at a 5K Edcor OT. If not, then I'll probably use the 520V CT secondary winding as the screen supply, but this will degrade the performance some I think. I've built several 50 to 100W guitar amps, lately mostly Dumbles, so I'm used to playing fast and loose with design maximum numbers. Do I need some re-education in this application? |

kt88's are better suited for UL operation. might aswell use them then instead.

Thank you Ruben. I know that the KT88 is generally considered to be tougher than the 6550, however, is a NOS Tung-Sol 6550 perhaps tougher than a current production KT88?
In a pinch I can rise to the cost of four NOS 6550, but certainly not to four NOS KT88, even if I could find them. |

You may give a try to KT120, too. Very good tubes and very affordable.

I'm running EH KT-88s at around 430ish SEUL no red plating sounding great at 5K OPTs down to 1-2 ohm load speakers. If you're using cathode bias maybe just upping the cathode resistor some could help??

Quite possibily so. True NOS 6550s were reliabily manufactured. And they were used in tube regulated power supplies with higher plate voltages then that. I personally use GE Jan 6550As in ULPP with almost 600 volts on them with no problems. Yes, there may be an occasional NOS failure by fireworks, but these would probably have failed anyway even under lower voltage. I certainly would not feel comfortable using new production 6550/KT88s at this level. Can't speak for KT120s since I've never used them. I have a lot of NOS to use up first.

Thanx for your responses. I've been able to find some instances of +500V UL operation of KT88s so I'm going to proceed on that basis. Right now Golden Lion seems to be a well regarded choice in KT88s.
For 70W per channel I'm thinking 5K is about right for RLaa onthe OT. I'm also looking at using Patrick Turner's 50+50 power amp design as a basis, which uses 6K6 OTs. See pic attached. |

I have used Tungsol Reissues 6550's at 560 volts as per the GEC circuit for multiple KT88's, they lasted for at least 10 years, but that is with 39K as recommended in the GEc circuit on the Grid using Fixed bias, not 100K. Current production tubes such as the KT120 recommend 50k not 100K. Don't try 560 volts with Psvane KT88's or Chinese tubes.

That's interesting. I saw somewhere that "Tung-Sol reissue 6550s don't like anything above 500V". Grid bias not specified. Shows you how misleading incomplete info can be!
Turner's design uses 68K grid bias at 520V and I'll be at 520V too, not 560. I would think your comments on those current KT88s would be cause for concern even at 520V. |

Topeka Topeka came to us labeled 'feral' cat. Topeka apparently got picked up by rescue workers along with a group of ferals, but she is clearly the sweetest, gentlest cat and must have gotten out of someone's home to end up with the stray crowd. She's roughly eight or nine years old and as you can see from her picture, is absolutely beautiful. She loves belly rubs and has recently retired from being a 'receptionist.' We are not planning to adopt Topeka out - she lives here with us and Missy, our other hospital cat- and we wouldn't have it any other way. She loves visitors so feel free to swing by and say hello.
Missy is our beautiful sweet & sometimes sassy Tortie/Calico 11 year old hospital cat. You may find her on the front reception desk as you check in. Give her a pet and she'll appreciate it. Give her two pets and she'll swat your hand away. She loves to jump on your lap and sleep in a nice warm bed in the front window.

I have decided to attempt to pick up some differential geometry on my own, and I am trying to get some traction on the subject which I do by trying to reduce it to familiar and simple cases. This is a trivial case, I know, but it will go a long way in advancing my understanding. Suppose the manifold of interest is the surface of a 2d-sphere (embedded in a 3d Euclidean space) and consider the tangent plane at point p. According to elementary differential geometry, a basis for this tangent space is [itex]\partial[/itex][itex]\mu[/itex]. Now according to elementary linear algebra, one basis for this space would be: B= { [1 0], [0 1] }. These are written as row vectors because I don't know how to write them as columns here. My question: How do I get the B basis from the partial derivative basis from differential geometry? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Another question that I have comes about when I get confused because the differential geometry formalism is introduced talking about a paramaterized curve in a manifold. What is the relationship between this paramaterized curve and the coordinate curves?
The tangent space at given point is unique, but it can have many different bases. They are usualy denoted [itex]\frac{\partial}{\partial x^1}[/itex], [itex]\frac{\partial}{\partial x^2}[/itex]... Which basis is used doesn't depend on surrounding euclidean space, but on chosen coordinate chart. Coordinate chart gives you diffeomorphism between some subset of the manifold and ℝn, so when you for example want to differentiate real-valued function on manifold, you take it through coordinate chart to ℝn and do usual calculus there. When you take as manifold ℝn itself, I'm sure you can easily imagine usual partial derivative basis at any point of this manifold, maybe as arrows. Through coordinate chart you just push them to any other manifold.
To understand this, you need to understand the definition of the "tangent space at p", denoted by TpM if the manifold is denoted by M. The simplest (but probably least intuitive) way to define it is to say that it's the vector space spanned by the partial derivative operators associated with a coordinate system ##x:U\to\mathbb R^2## (where U is an open subset that contains p): Denote the manifold (in this case the sphere) by M. A function ##f:M\to\mathbb R## is said to be smooth if all partial derivatives up to arbitrary order of ##f\circ y^{-1}## exist for all coordinate systems y. For all p, all coordinate systems y whose domain includes p, and all i=1,2, define $$\frac{\partial}{\partial y^i}\bigg|_p f =(f\circ y^{-1})_{,i}(y(p)),$$ for all smooth f. The notation ,i denotes partial differentiation with respect to the ith variable. Now we define TpM by choosing a specific coordinate system x and saying that TpM is the vector space spanned by the partial derivative operators associated with x. (Linear combinations of two partial derivative operators u,v are defined by (au+bv)f=a(uf)+b(vf)). This definition is ugly because it depends on a choice of coordinate system. But it can be proved that the result is independent of the coordinate system used. The definition can also be stated in a coordinate-independent way: Let S be the set of all smooth ##f:M\to\mathbb R##. Define TpM to be the set of linear functions v:S→ℝ such that v(fg)=v(f)g(p)+f(p)v(g) for all f,g in S. Define a vector space structure on TpM by (u+v)(f)=uf+vf and (av)f=a(vf). Now it's possible to show that given any coordinate system x, with a domain that includes p, the corresponding partial derivative operators form a basis for TpM. The proof can be found e.g. in Wald's GR book or Isham's book on differential geometry. The most intuitive definition actually assigns the term "tangent space at p" to a different vector space than this one. This doesn't really matter since there's an easily defined isomorphism between the two spaces. Here the idea is to define a tangent vector at p as an equivalence class of smooth curves through p. Two smooth curves are considered equivalent if they "are going in the same direction" at p. This idea and the associated definition of TpM is discussed in this post. A curve is a function ##C:[a,b]\to M##. If x is a coordinate system defined on a set that includes the range of C, then ##x\circ C:[a,b]\to\mathbb R^n## is a curve in ##\mathbb R^n##. I guess this would be the "coordinate curve". (I don't use those terms myself, and I'm not sure how other people use them. This is just what immediately comes to mind).
Thanks very much for the replies. I'm going to follow up with a question which may be totally wrong, but I'm trying to get some intuition. Is there a function or set of functions to which [itex]\partial[/itex]i is applied to get the standard basis { [1 0], [0 1] }? I'll explain my motivation, and I apologize for my imprecise presentation (I am a physicist, not a mathematician): I know that if I have a point p on M and some open set U of M that is diffeomorphic (homeomorphic?) to ℝn together with an associated coordinate system, then I can perform calculations as if I were performing the calculations in Euclidean space. I want to make the connection in my mind between the differential geometric definition of vectors and "traditional" vectors in Euclidean space. I agree that the partial derivatives form a basis of the tangent space since I think that I can prove it using the techniques of ordinary linear algebra. I don't have a problem with that. Maybe my conceptual difficulty lies with the fact that I'm thinking of the wrong space. I don't know. I just think that the partial differential operators somehow should reduce to the standard basis that we use to do calculations. I suspect that the partial derivative operators operate on the coordinate system associated with U to produce the standard basis. I'm still left with the question of how does the single component [itex]\partial[/itex]i basis vector produce a two-component euclidean basis vector.
First, a disclaimer: I'm reading only slightly more advanced stuff(cotangent bundles, tensors...) at this very moment, and the stuff you are asking I've learned only few weeks ago. Well, there are coordinate functions, usualy denoted (xi), which are real-valued functions defined on some open set U of a manifold. They are determined by a coordinate chart defined on U. For example, coordinate functions on R3 for identity function(i.e. one possible chart) are f(x, y, z) = x, f(x, y, z) = y etc. When you apply a tangent vector(with coordinates ai) to j-th coordinate function, you get [itex]a^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x^i}x^j = a^i\frac{\partial x^j}{\partial x^i} = a^iδ^j_i=a^j[/itex], so it picks j-th component of that tangent vector. There is also reverse process, given n smooth functions and a coordinate chart, you can assemble vector field from it. if it's topological manifold only homeomorphic, if smooth manifold diffeomorphic It's not that straightforward, for example, in ordinary calculus you can tell distance between two points using derivatives, integrals etc... but on smooth manifold you can't. You do stuff on smooth manifolds only such that doesn't change with diffeomorphisms(and distance, as you can easily imagine, changes, for example a sphere of double size). One thing you can do on SMs is integrate, since you integrate covector fields(or differential forms which are generalization of that) that change in a way that precisely cancels out any change of coordinates, diffeomorphisms etc... Imagine you paint lines on a rubber baloon and when you path-integrate you just count number of lines your path passes through. Also I know that while vector fields are rarely compatible with smooth maps(i.e. smooth function between two SMs), every covector field is compatible with smooth maps and can be pulled back from range to domain. So when you have path f: [a, b]→M and you have covector field on M, you pull it back to R and integrate it there using ordinary calculus. I started a thread on similar topic in november, you should check it out. The process of defining tangent vector takes about 5 pages in my book(Lee) and I think details of this process are not so important, but it's good to read through it and remember key fact(exact definition of tangent vector etc..). It does reduce to standart basis, but only using coordinate chart. You probably misunderstood your book. Don't forget about summation convention.
When ##\frac{\partial}{\partial x^i}\big|_p## acts on a function, the result is a number, not a vector. So, no, nothing like that is possible. I'm not sure what you're asking here. How to see that ##T_pM## is 2-dimensional when M is a sphere? That depends on which of the three definitions of ##T_pM## we use. If we use the first one, it's 2-dimensional by definition, so there's nothing to prove. If we use the second definition, you'd prove it using that trick that you can find in Wald or Isham. (It's pretty hard to think of). If we use the third definition, then I'd do it by proving that the space is isomorphic to the one produced by the second definition. If you're asking how members of a 2-dimensional vector space can be anything but 2×1 or 1×2 matrices, then you probably need to refresh your memory about some basic linear algebra. A vector space is said to be n-dimensional if it has a linearly independent subset with n members, and doesn't have one with n+1 members. It doesn't have anything to do with what the vectors look like. See posts #5 and #7 here for a nice example of this. Post #3 in this thread about the relationship between linear operators and matrices will also be useful. This is one of the most important details in all of linear algebra, so you should make sure you understand it perfectly. It will make it easier to understand tensors. (Ignore the stuff after the quote box).
Thanks, you've both given me a lot to think about, and I really appreciate it. Fredrik, I'm going to follow your links and see if my confusion disappears. Of course, you're right that the definition of a basis has nothing to do with how a vector looks like. I still have a question, and if I still have it after reading your post again carefully and following your links, I will post it. Alesak, do you find Lee to be a good book? One of my biggest problems is finding a book that works for me ... books tend to be either so abstract as to be impenetrable for me or too simplistic (Geometrical Vectors by Weinreich). I'm not used to reading graduate texts in mathematics.
Well, here on the forums I´ve seen only high praise for Lee, so I guess you can´t go wrong with it. For me it´s not an easy ride(I´m undergrad economist lol) but I doubt there is a book that will make learning it efortless. It´s quite detailed(IMHO good thing if you have time since SMs is important topic) and you need moderate knowledge of topology(but there is no need to go bonkers with it), good multivariable analysis and good linear algebra. Some knowledge of groups, modules... and categorical methods is useful. He says somewhere in introduction that his previous book on topological manifolds had been written as textbook on prerequisities for smooth manifolds, but I think there is way too more than strict prerequisites. But of course, it depends very much what background do you already have.

Despite recent discussions within the league concerning the possibility the game had outlived its usefulness, the contest will be contested once more at Aloha Stadium on Jan. 27 -- the Sunday before the Super Bowl.
A general lack of effort during the game last season and the absence of many of the sport's stars only increased the talk among league officials that the Pro Bowl's negatives now outweighed the positives.
Ray Anderson, the NFL executive vice president of football operations, said Wednesday players had made it clear they want to keep playing the game and also want it to stay in Hawaii.
"We have had many discussions with the players in recent years about the Pro Bowl and they recognize that the quality of the game has not been up to NFL standards," Anderson said.

Using the "temp" utility hides most of these parameters from the user. Note that even though our probes are equipped with thermocouples that are accurate to 0.1 degrees or better, we can't really tell the EXACT temperature WITHIN the sample, because of
In critical cases it may be worth calibrating the temperature under the given conditions (sample height, solvent, salt concentration, gas flow, pulse sequence / decoupling).
"PID" stands for "Proportional / Integrative / Differential" regulation - an algorithm that can be adjusted to the characteristics of the regulation circuitry (which is all the hardware involved - heater characteristics, heat capacity of the VT gas, gas flow, heat capacity and geometry of the relevant probe components), such that the regulation is efficient / fast (within minutes), does not produce excessive overshoot (not more than a few degrees, depending on the amount of temperature change) and suppresses oscillations. The characteristics of such a regulator can be adjusted by setting the P, I, and D components. In practice, these values are pre-set in the software and are transmitted to the VT controller once prior to every experiment requiring VT control. For experiments using the Oxford or Highland VT controller (GEMINI, MERCURY and UNITY families of spectrometers), the acquisition software uses a PID value of "440" (P=4, I=4, D=0), while the solids VT controller for Varian MAS probes uses a value of "171". In the standard software, this is NOT under user control, and with few exceptions there is NO NEED to alter these values, see the following article.
This means that

on VXR-S, UNITY and UNITYplus systems you should avoid performing huge jumps

For more please see Varian NMR News 1998-10-02.
How Does VT REGULATION Work?
VT control involves much more than simply turning on the heater if the temperature is too low, and switching it off when the temperature is too high: such a simple algorithm can lead to excessive "overshooting" early in the regulation process and excessive rates of change in temperature (see also the article below), and it could also lead to oscillating temperatures. Our VT controllers (both the Oxford VTC and the newer Highland controller) use a much more sophisticated, so-called "PID" algorithm to dynamically regulate the heater current.
"Stepped" VT Regulation:
When starting VT control, older spectrometers and all HAL-based systems (VXR-S, UNITY, UNITYplus) directly send the desired setpoint to the VT controller, irrespective of the current temperature. This method has several disadvantages because different probe hardware (characteristics of the ("regulation circuit") and different temperature intervals would in principle require adjusting the PID values to the current situation, in order to obtain optimum results. One can observe these problems through:
temp=x su
commands. There is a user library contribution "psg/vtfuncs" that permits user
entry of the PID values via a global parameter "pid" - but this should be used
with care, and no assistance can be given for these adjustments, beyond the

That method is thwarted if the remote stations are behind a NAT, because that will scramble the source port. I presume you are aware of this, but I brought it up just in case.

In a recent interview with GQ, The Dark Knight Rises costume designer Lindy Hemming discussed some scenes director Christopher Nolan shot with Tom Hardy's Bane that get into the character's origins more than seen on screen in the finished film. That's about as far as you can get in this story without wandering into SPOILER TERRITORY, so consider yourself warned.
Between answering questions about Bane's choice in jackets and which designer Alfred Pennyworth favors, Hemming (who has not yet seen the film) discussed some of the finer points of Bane's look and the scenes shot to convey where they came from.
"The other thing that you should have seen during that sequence is him being injured in his youth," Hemming said. "So one of the fundamental things about his costume is that he has this scar from the back injury. Even if he hasn't got the bulletproof vest on, he still has to wear the waist belt and the braces. In that scene in the prison, where he's learning to fight the same way Batman learned to fight, he's wearing an early version of his waist belt. It's showing support, but it's not the finished one he eventually wears. He's also wearing an early version of his gas mask, all glued together."
Those of you who have seen the film will remember that viewers were tricked into thinking Bane had one origin, but wound up with another. According to Hemming, more scenes were shot of Bane's actual origin.
"Well, if you look at the film, unless they've cut it—and I'm sure they haven't—there's a whole early section for Tom Hardy where he's fighting and being taunted by people," Hemming said. "He's got chains on him, and he's standing on a wooden thing while people are attacking him. And in that scene, he's wearing a much more ragged, primitive version of the mask."
Clearly that last part was cut from the film, which Hemming called a shame, but also said it showed why he wears the mask. Perhaps fans will be able to see some of these scenes when the film finally comes out on DVD and Blu-ray.
The movie was TERRIBLE from begining to end.
The ONLY good/great things about it were BANE JGL & Anne
HATED every scene with BALE in it. and the 19 minutes of actual Batman was worthless nonsense too.
You mother was terrible from beginning to end.
Crappy movie.
I agree wholeheartedly. And adding a few minutes of extra Bane origin footage will not save this thoroughly flawed movie
Even though the movie was pretty weak, I have to agree with this comment.
Man you people are losers. So let me guess, you are marvel zombies, who think the avengers was awesome even though it was a children's movie that had no story whatsoever. Stick to your brainless movies morons.
