British shopping habits will not be heavily affected by the Olympics
By Sasha Birkin, brandrepublic.com, Friday, 27 July 2012 08:30AM
Seventy four percent of UK adults claim they won't be spending more money than usual during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, writes Sasha Birkin, associate director, Ipsos Marketing.
As London and the rest of the world gets ready for the start of the 2012 Olympics, the question asked by many businesses is will they be able to profit from the games as much as they had originally hoped?
In many ways the 2012 London Olympics provides excitement for consumers as well as opportunities for brands and retailers to profit from the feel good factor that the games provide.
And in the current economic climate, it is hoped by all that the games will provide a much needed economic boost to flagging sales.
According to Howard Archer, IHS Global Insight: "Retailers will be very much hoping that the London Olympics will provide a significant list to their sales over the coming weeks as people buy related merchandise and souvenirs, and also purchase extra drink and food to enjoy watching the games..."
Across the high street we have witnessed a whole host of different product launches and promotional campaigns based around the Olympics theme, from Cadbury's 'Spots Versus Stripes' campaign and Hovis's 'Gold Start Challenge', to Pantene's 'Beauty on the Podium' and M&S Olympic logo biscuit tins.
It seems everyone is hoping to cash in on the feel good factor that the games will bring.
However, the country is in a very different state economically in 2012 compared to seven years ago in 2005 when London won the hosting rights.
Given the change in the UK's economic situation, will British consumers still be willing to part with additional cash and spend more money than they would usually?
Research conducted earlier this month by Ipsos Mori suggests that spending may not increase as much as is hoped - at least not among British shoppers.
Three in four (74%) adults claim they won't be spending more money than usual during the Olympics and Paralympics.
It would seem that consumers will be most likely to celebrate and watch the Olympics from the comfort of their own homes. As a result retailers will benefit more from the Games than pubs and restaurants from increased consumer expenditure.
The categories shoppers are most likely to spend more on are food and snacks for home entertainment (10%), alcoholic drinks for home entertainment (7%) and soft drinks for home entertainment (7%).
In contrast only 3% expect to spend more on food and drink in pubs and 4% from restaurants and cafes.
Enthusiasm for Olympic branded souvenirs and merchandise is fairly low overall - only 4% expect to purchase these. Similarly only 3% expect to spend more on sports clothing or footwear.
Purchasing in all categories is skewed towards younger age groups. Four in ten of the 15-24 age group will spend more as a result of the games compared to only one in ten of the 65+ group.
Also, perhaps unsurprisingly given where most of the sporting action will take place, Londoners are the most likely to be spending more during the games, across all categories.
Just over half of Londoners (55%) will be spending more during the Olympics, compared to less than a quarter of people from the rest of the country.
This does suggest that at present other areas of the country feel more of a disconnect with the Games which is challenging for businesses.
Many companies in London are encouraging workers to work from home to avoid travelling. But despite this, Londoners are the most likely group to be spending more on travel during the Games period.
A fifth (22%) of Londoners will be spending more on travel during the Olympics versus 4% in other regions. This may indicate travel within London for the games themselves or outside of London, in order to avoid the anticipated heavy congestion.
It is too early to say that retailers and manufacturers won't benefit as much as hoped from increased consumer spending during the next few weeks.
In June the Diamond Jubilee failed to deliver the promised boost to retail sales and the four day Jubilee weekend had no significant impact on retail sales. But this was partly due to the weather washout which meant barbeques and events were cancelled.
Businesses will now hope that as enthusiasm for the Games builds, consumers will get swept away in the feel good factor and increased patriotism that the Olympics will inevitably bring and spend impulsively in all areas as a result.
Let's hope the sun continues to shine... or we can always pin our hopes on the tourists...

Somewhere in-between the space-age bachelor pad sounds of Esquivel and the gimmicky novelty of Spike Jonze sits Mel Henke, one of the most overlooked originators of the mid-century lounge sound. While most famous for versions of All That Meat, 77 Sunset Strip, and Pennies From Heaven, his largely instrumental wink-wink-nudge-nudge album La Dolce Henke is considered his masterpiece - The Lively Ones - The Twisters - You're Driving Me Crazy - Woman In Space - Farmer John - Old McDonald Had A Girl - See The USA In Your Chevrolet - Last Night On The Back Porch (Warning, historical sexism, erotic car metaphors)

"Now it is instructive to go into, eg, one of the big old boozers in the East End of London and imagine them not as they are, just one room, frequently, if they've been hipstered up, with unplastered brick walls and big, clear windows, but as they were 50, 60, 80, 100 years ago, carved into three, four or more separate spaces by mahogany and etched glass barriers, each section with its own hermetic, exclusive group of customers, who would rather walk into the wrong lavatory than the wrong bar, and served, often, by its own separate door to the streets outside." -- Martyn Cornell dives into the diverse varieties of British bar one could encounter until recently

This guy doesn't even deserve a comment ! He has fought no one and will get a mandatory ass whooping! This is a battle of which promoter gets his way , a pissing contest . Mandatory nothing kick ass Arreola then fight when and who you want !! Go nightmare!Posted May 10, 2014 8:37 am
Hate to admit it, but TARK is correct re his last two comments. Boxers today fight so little, therefore anyone with ambition and focus will as they say, 'have bag, will travel,' to any sparring gigs they can get with the top guys in the sport. Groves and HAYE went out and did this. Larry Holmes sparred with Smokin' Joe (RIP) and Ali for years and on his way up to the top. The best way to stay in shape, sharp and focus in between fights is to search for good, regular sparring in conjunction with a good trainer and team around you – one where you are constantly learning about both the art and the business of boxing, which are two very different but integral parts of the game. Mayweather and the KLITSCHKO's learned this many, many years ago and is why they're at the top of the sport.
Tony TT Galento.., "How can you say Price has no ambition, he took on Thompson in his 16th fight"
How ambitious is that? To let people manipulate you into fights you're no ready for???
An ambitious fighter fights more often and tries to get the right matchups… Not fight super easy guys, and than suddenly switch to fighting super tough guys, and then go back to super easy guys.Posted March 26, 2014 1:18 am
How do I know Deontay is smart???
Wilder talked to his people about getting him sparring gigs with Wladimir and Haye… He did it to learn as much as he can from the greatest heavyweight boxers in the world… He's only American Olympic medalist in the last 10 years, but he knows damned well he was a "super novice" when he turned pro because of his lack of amateur experience.
The only thing you can do in that case is learn from the best.
Deontay can't put his own fights together, but he has tried … He'll get on the phone if you want him to, or if he thinks it wll help him get a fight… He called out Bryant Jennings … I noticed Jennings picked Scott to beat him.Posted March 26, 2014 1:10 am
You are sick man, sick.Posted March 25, 2014 6:14 pm
Squared-Circle Real Talk (a.k.a. LionKing)
Wilder has proven he has pure dynamite in his right hand, but his technique still looks sloppy and amateurish in many ways. For one, he wings wild flurries of wide, looping round-house punches that often appear to lack control, efficiency and accuracy. Secondly, he has not yet developed his jab into any sort of an effective, dangerous weapon. Third, his left hook doesn't appear to pack anywhere close to the power that his right does. Fourth, his chin is still HIGHLY suspect as he was knocked down by an absolute tin can with an 18-27 record and pitiful 23% KO ratio; he was also rocked/wobbled by Firtha's jab of all punches. Fifth, his stamina is still a big question mark because he's never been past the 4th round. Sixth, he's never even beat a contender ranked in the Top 20, so it's too soon to be crowning this guy as the next great HW Champion.Posted March 25, 2014 2:31 pm
Wilder can't even jab correctly.Posted March 25, 2014 12:25 pm
Wilder uses the swarm and haymaker approach to his offense. He wings his long arm slap punches from out in the wings and hopes to hit his opponent over the ear or up side his head. A smart fighter lets him come in and unloads a straight right or overhand right right (LIKE HAYE DID IN THE SPARRING VIDEO) and knock his ass out. Wlad will KO Wilder much like he kayoed Brock with a monster right hand. If the sparring gloves were off, Haye would have KTFO out of Wilder. Wilder is slappy, wide, and predictable. Stand your ground and punch straight through and KO that birdlegged MOFO.Posted March 25, 2014 12:01 pm
"We saw the same with Jerry Cooney, David Price, Frank Bruno, Duane Bobick, Farouk Saleem, Tye Fields, Tommy Morrison, Jeff Simms etc" … Wilder isn't slow and clumsy like those guys.
All those guys were clumsy, slow, unskilled, wide open targets. They weren't the sharpest tools in the shed. David Price was never as dedicated, smart, or athletic as the Klitschkos. He's is a bigger, stronger, and taller version of Joe Bugner, with 3 times the punching power. Price gets hit with everything. I don't see the brain power or ambition there.
Cooney, Bruno, and Morrison were dangerous punchers, but basically target practice for any clever boxer. Holmes, Tyson, and Mercer showed them what a real heavyweight is all about.
Wilder is not only very tall, rangy, and powerful—but he's fast, smart, and patient as well. He went out of his way to get opportunities to spar with Wladimir and Haye. He hasn't been well matched, but he's a hard worker. Wilder or Bryant Jennings will be the top American heavyweight in 2 years. A clash there is inevitable. Stiverne and Arreola are also-rans.Posted March 25, 2014 11:25 am
Wilder has done ZERO to give people the idea that he can beat ANY Top Ten Heavyweight. Power punchers ALWAYS look great beating trial horses, club fighters, shot fighters etc. We saw the same with Jerry Cooney, David Price, Frank Bruno, Duane Bobick, Farouk Saleem, Tye Fields, Tommy Morrison, Jeff Simms etc, but all of them got caught out when they stepped in with a durable, skilled fighter who hit back and asked them some questions, same with Wilder.Posted March 25, 2014 8:24 am
TARK hedging his bets on a Wlad vs Wilder clash, like he always does. If they ever fight watch him slither his way to let people know he always picked the winner.Posted March 25, 2014 6:04 am
wlad also said leapai does not need technique. Wlad an Shannon played out a "cannon blow out" before Shannon and Wlad did some spar time. Wilder will get his ring time soon.Posted March 25, 2014 5:35 am
Anthony Joshua is there in the background, getting better and better, and his time will come, and he'll hammer Wilder the bum.Posted March 25, 2014 3:08 am
That's not what Wladimir and Haye said about Deontay… I'm not trying to build DW up, but they did say Wilder was a tough, fast, and very hard puncher, and a tough sparring partner. He gave them both a lot of good work.
If DW couldn't do the job they would have sent him home.Posted March 25, 2014 1:28 am
Wilder #3 WBC without fighting anyone even nearly ranked?! Can Stiverne or Arreola be bought? Vlad totally outclassed Wilder while sparring for the Wach fight, Vlad beat Wilder from one side of the ring to the other, knocked him down with a jab. Wilder could not land the right on Vlad at all……….Vitali would have easily knocked Wilder out and Wilder's right hand would not have caused Vitali to even blink his eyes. Watch the tape of Wilder sparring Haye, Haye made Wilder look like a drunk. When Wilder gets hit, he will fall………

Ali retired at 36…rather than fight Larry Holmes… I thought, "Okay… Now, that's a really wise decision."
But Ali ran out of money and came back at the age 38 to fight Larry… He didn't have a snowball's chance in Hell but made the biggest purse of his life, 10MM … Was it worth it???Posted March 24, 2014 8:54 pm
Wladimir will be 39 years old by the time Deontay lines himself up to fight him next year… Deontay has a fair chance—because Wladimir is an outside boxer who doesn't attack the body.
DW has a longer reach than Wladimir and Deontay has sparred enough rounds with WK to know a few things about him.. It could be devastation..
It sure would be interesting… because I've never seen a heavyweight with Wilder's combination of height, speed, and power.. He probably still needs to round out some skill aspects of his game…and his defense.. Nobody's really been able to throw at DW so far.
Of course Wladimir might decide to retire rather than box a dangerous young opponent when he's 39 years old.Posted March 24, 2014 8:48 pm
at the end of the day it doesnt matter whether he can beat arreola or stiverne or any other of the contenders the question is-can he or anyone else beat wlad?Posted March 24, 2014 4:55 pm
Wilder had to fight Scott… He needs to fight anyone who will step into a ring with him. You need those rounds. 90 seconds of action aren't enough for months of preparation … If Cus D'Amato was handling him he'd get him 3 more fights before he fought Stiverne.
Tyson had 28 fights in his first 2 years and was Heavyweight Champ by age 20.. If you clean everyone out in a round or 2 you need a ton of fights.. Cus kept his guys fighting while they were contenders. You still need those rounds regardless — because that experience is going to save your ass, sooner or later.
Once you're champ you're rich… You an hire the world's best sparring partners, so you can always get the rust off.Posted March 24, 2014 3:21 pm
He will have to really hit them. They won't go down on air punches, like Scott did.Posted March 24, 2014 2:37 pm
Theres a reason Wilder is being managed so carefully. His handlers know he doesnt have the skills or chin to stand with a Klitchko, so they are waiting them out. As Tony Thompson demonstrated the other night, there are practically no good young heavyweights out there and you dont have to be great to win a title in this division, just better than the other guys. Wilder probably win a title, but what does that really mean? Is his accomplishment of winning his first a world title the same as Ali winning his first title, or even Tyson? Hell no. The title was created by an organization, by people, but beating good fighters to going on and beat the best fighter, with or without a title, is really what counts. Wilder will not be a real champion in my eyes unless he does what champions do.Posted March 24, 2014 1:17 pm

"WHERE IS HAYE ANYWAYE?????????????" – Nursing his poor broken toePosted March 24, 2014 11:43 am
Wilder is awkward and windmills his haymakers. Just saw Haye sparring with Deon and Haye exposed how Wilder is a sucker for an overhand right. Wlad will KO Wilder with his piston like right hand. James Lights Out Toney said he would KO Wilder also. Those who have sparred with him say he is good but weak. He just has not fought anybody of credit yet, because he is busy slipping through the cracks. Haye would KO him. WHERE IS HAYE ANYWAYE?????????????????????Posted March 24, 2014 11:37 am
Wilder has power. He looks very awkward in the ring. Wlad had to get beaten a few times before he learned how to box. Wilder has faced no adversity in the ring thus far. I give him a lot of credit for getting a medal in the Olympics. But I think his handlers have done him a disservice by feeding him too much apple sauce and ice cream in the pros. His first solid food will be the winner of the Stiverne Areola fight. And neither of them are that good. Guys like Jennings and Pulev have been fighting live oppoinents and skill wise are ahead of Wilder. I think Wilder has potential. But if you ask me, although his record is 31 and 0, with 31 KO's I would place him at a real record of about 10 and 0 with 10 KO's as far a progress is concerned.Posted March 24, 2014 11:14 am

"Wilder gets absolutely no credit regardless of what he does". No, he just has not been tested yet. A power puncher usually decimates journeymen on his way up but when starts to get to the elite level his punch will not always carry the day. It takes skills. Boxing has proved this time and time again.Posted March 24, 2014 11:02 am

Wilder gets absolutely no credit regardless of what he does. Bermane Stiverne was praised quite a bit for his spectacular 2nd round blowout of fringe fighter Kerton Manswell, Wilder had him down 3 times inside of 2 minutes but got ZERO credit for it. Everyone pretends they are an expert in technique when it comes to Wilder. 'He's just a long right hand' and 'His footwork is so bad any decent boxer will expose him.' Let's remember that this fighter who is allegedly only a right hand had a very solid defensive fighter in Scott gone in 90 seconds. Please no more nonsense about diving. Of course Scott didn't take a dive. Take a dive for what? In my opinion Wilder wont get respect regardless of what he does until he starts fighting for titles. If he knocked out Chisora in the first round people would still call him a joke. He's got flaws but my God his power is truly of the terrifying quallity you so rarely see.Posted March 24, 2014 10:20 am

Arreola would crush Wilder! Stiverne probably would too.

Vitali Klitschko was not slow by any means, Vitali's chin was granite. Vitali would have knocked Wilder out cold. Vlad beat Wilder from one side of the ring to the other, knocked him down with a jab!!!!!!! That was while sparring for the Wach fight. Haye also kicked Wilder's arse in sparring, made Wilder look like a drunk. Watch the video…………..Arreola walked through Seth Mitchel's right hand with no problem. If Arreola lands a punch on Wilder it will be lights out. Vlad mentioned fighting Wilder, Steward said that Wilder would not stand a chance. Wilder is not as strong as Tye Fields, but has a chin about the same. Wilder refused to fight Thompson, Chisora, Fury, Arreola, Jennings, you name it. After Chisora knocked Scott out, Wilder decided to fight him. Scott is a really bad actor, but he gave Wilder a gift as I expected he would.Posted March 24, 2014 1:07 am
The first time someone lands flush – As in Cory Sanders flush or Mike Weaver flush or Wald flush or many others flush then it will be all over – We know it – Wilder's team knows it – N Wilder knows itPosted March 24, 2014 1:05 am
Deon needs to shut his pie hole until he do sumthin. Jury is still out on this cat because he ain't fought nobody. We will see when he face Chris or Bermane or even Tony the Tiger. Or even Pulev or Fury, or Haye or Povetkin, and God knows Povetkin will give him some trouble as all the others will do. He wants the belt handed to him by passing the others in the fast lane. He will not even have to face VK. But, maybe VK will unretire if he lives through this Ukraine/Russian BS. If he does not then Wladdy will have to KO this punk Mofo with the Birdlegs.Posted March 24, 2014 12:55 am
Wilder would murder Thompson… That's not a fight.. But there are definitely some tough fights out there for Deontay.
The winner of Stiverne-Arreola will provide a tough test. Bryant Jennings would provide an even stronger test… and of course Wladimir Klitschko is the ultimate test.. And Wladimir could be 39 before they meet.. which is good.
Muhammad Ali and Larry Holmes were only 36 when the Spinks brothers beat them — and nobody in the world expected the Spinkses to beat them.Posted March 24, 2014 12:38 am
Wilder is tall at around 6'8, freakishly athletic, with great hand and food speed. Fitness???? Chin???? Power, massive massive power in his right hand. Left hand??? Can he use his left hand??? does he have a jab???? After 30 plus fights we still have not seen enough of this guy. Right now he is exactly where price was before his lose to thompson. Pulev beat thompson, he has earned the worlds respect. Wilder needs to do the same and answer the critics. He will need more than one punch to beat tiger.Posted March 23, 2014 11:49 pm
Wilder better check his tone while he can still move that jaw of his. He speaks as if BS and CA aren't gonna touch that pretty little face of his. He should keep that chatter down and figure out a way to not get touched.Posted March 23, 2014 11:40 pm
A fight with the winner of arreola/stiverne against wilder would be awesome. First I would like to see him fight old thompson. Getting past thompson and the winner of arreola/stiverne would be the two fights he needs to have a chance with wlad. Right now he is a one handed fighter with a massive punch.Posted March 23, 2014 11:33 pm
This pundit took a gratuitous shot at Vitali Klitschko… calling VK, "Slow as molasses."
Vitali was NEVER slow… Michael Grant was slow as molasses… Arreola is slow.
Tomasz Adamek out-sped Grant but Vitali was way too quick for Adamek to land any decent punches. Sam Peter landed only 3 fair punches on Vitali in 7 rounds. Vitali is ONLY fighter to stop Arreola. Vitali was very quick and adept.
If Wilder fights Arreola it's going to be a tough. It's not going to end in one round. But I suspect DW may be fighting Stiverne, who CAN cut you off and get inside. Stiverne has a powerful left hook to the body and he takes a good shot. It's not going to be a picnic for Wilder. A lot of fights DW has from now on won't be picnics.
Deontay hasn't been baptized yet.
Either Arreola or Stiverne are going to be huge steps up in class for Wilder. I think the Scott fight was a bit of a fluke. If they fought again it would be a different fight. Scott won 4 of the 5 completed rounds against Chisora and out-scored Glazkov — but he never got a shot off against Wilder. Wilder is good but he's not THAT good. He's been very lucky to date.Posted March 23, 2014 11:32 pm
GGG said already that he will move down to jr. middleweight to fight Floyd what happened cuz?Posted March 23, 2014 8:37 pm
I'm with Deontay. He'll stop Stiverne or Arreola.Posted March 23, 2014 8:37 pm
Tall Mike or maybe who did they dodge?Posted March 23, 2014 8:35 pm
Tall Mike
I wonder why Floyd and Wilder are labeled frauds but Kovalev and GGG are the greatest things since sliced bread. Who has Kovalev or GGG fought. I see the pattern here.Posted March 23, 2014 8:32 pm
Or even versus Perez!Posted March 23, 2014 8:32 pm
Definitely I would like to see Tony Thompson versus Diante!Posted March 23, 2014 8:31 pm
Spot on Spartacus couldn't even say better myself!
Prof Konje
It all sound good…until Wilder get caught with a punch from a puncher.Posted March 23, 2014 8:15 pm
Lol he knocks out Malik Scott and thinks he's the best in the world now ? Lol I think stiverne and arreola would whoop deontay, hughie fury would stand a good chance against deontay, both of them have only fought bums so far…coin flipPosted March 23, 2014 7:44 pm
Al Haymon fix. Dirty stuffPosted March 23, 2014 7:41 pm
So after that farce against Scott, Wilder is just gonna wait it out now to fight the winner of Stiverne Vs Arreola? He should be making a more solid name for himself by proofing himself against someone like Tony Thompson, who just beat Solis before he gets to fight for a title, which he doesn't deserve yet.Posted March 23, 2014 7:32 pm
Vitali and Holmes were in their early 30's went they first fought for the linear titles, against Lewis and Ali respectively. Both became two of the longest reigning champs the heavyweight division has had.Posted March 23, 2014 7:18 pm
Tyson had also peaked and was in decline by the time he was 23.Posted March 23, 2014 7:10 pm
What?!! … after 31 fights, look at Rocky's record. I can assure u nobody would hav been mentioning Marciano in the same sentence as Dempsey or Johnson either. Not based on his skill level, amateur accomplishments, or on the quality of the opponents he had beaten up until that point.Posted March 23, 2014 7:06 pm
Freddie Roach Ate My Hamster
Wilder a young guy?! Tyson was 20 and stepped up to world class as quickly as possible. The Shadow's held Wilder back until Vitali retired and positioned him against smaller, beatable opponents. He had an eliminator against someone he knew inside out. I expect Wilder to win the WBC belt, then defend against 2nd rate hype jobs & Wlad to be offered $1.20 to fight in Wilder's back yard so that he can be 'ducking' the great red white & blue hope. I don't dislike him and believe that he wants to face the best but his career is stage-managed.Posted March 23, 2014 7:03 pm
Other than Wlad, who exactly?.Posted March 23, 2014 7:00 pm
I'll tell you who would be a great test for all these so-called contenders, Lucas Browne. Browne seems very raw and less skilled than the Wilders, Fury's, Chisora's, Povetkin's but what he does bring to the table is a good chin, great power and is willing to fight back. Browne will not lie down and he is very calm and patient in the ring. I'd like to see the level Browne can get to, but no one will fight him so he keeps taking stay busy fights.
On another note, please do not ever mention Wilder in the same breath as Marciano. That's like mentioning Fury in the same breath as Ali.Posted March 23, 2014 7:00 pm
He prob will against them two but y wont he go after sbody else betterPosted March 23, 2014 6:54 pm
wilder is another michael grant….Posted March 23, 2014 6:50 pm
Wilder is a young guy with hardly any rounds in the clock. Yet he's already beaten a former alphabet champ and Scott. Was Marciano's record any better after 31 fights? Deontay has a long career ahead of him. Arreola/Stiverne will b a good step up. The only fighters clearly better than those two are Haye and the Klits. And with Haye and Vitali more or less retired Wilder is going to struggle finding any worthy opponents to get him ready for Wlad.Posted March 23, 2014 6:28 pm
even a bigger fraud than fraudly himselfPosted March 23, 2014 5:56 pm
after 31 fights most top fighters are looking at retirement!!!hes the biggest fraud on the scenePosted March 23, 2014 5:55 pm
Deontay vs Hughie Fury!Posted March 23, 2014 5:49 pm
they keep talking about his power!!!the bums hes fought a light weight could stun!!!in all honesty whos he fought with a pulse or any hunger!Posted March 23, 2014 5:31 pm
I'm not sold on Wilder yet, but if he's up for these fights, then alls good as far as I'm concerned, and look forward to them happening,Posted March 23, 2014 5:26 pm
soon they will run of flops!!!soon you will have to fight a real man pencil legsPosted March 23, 2014 5:08 pm
wilders a 100percent fraud!!!even Anonymous will agree!!!!Posted March 23, 2014 4:59 pm
Vitali Klitschko wasn't particularly "slow as molasses." He could beat Wilder today with matching speed. Don't worry. Wladimir will take it to Deontay when they meet and knock his ass out.Posted March 23, 2014 4:45 pm
If he can knock arreola clean out then I think he will make a believer of even the biggest scepticsPosted March 23, 2014 4:39 pm
Hopefully Wilder hasn't fallen in love with his power. If he thinks he's going to KO his way to a title belt, he's crazy. Yes, Arreola doesn't move his head much/is hittable, but Arreola has shown he'll walk through fire to land his own big shots. Wilder better be ready for that. It's one think to blast out soft touches, it's another to avoid/take return fire from a challenger who isn't there to lie down.Posted March 23, 2014 4:10 pm

Despite increases in the overall use of opioid drugs to relieve severe pain, black and Hispanic patients remain significantly less likely than whites to receive these pain-relievers in emergency rooms, according to a new national study.
The study examined treatments for more than 150,000 pain-related visits to U.S. hospitals between 1993 and 2005. It found that 31 percent of whites received opioid drugs compared with only 23 percent of blacks and 24 percent of Hispanics. About 28 percent of Asians received the drugs.
In contrast, non-opioid pain relievers, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen were prescribed much more often to non-whites (36 percent) than to whites (26 percent).
Studies in the 1990s showed a disturbing racial or ethnic disparity in the use of these potent pain relievers, but we had hoped that the recent national efforts at improving pain management in emergency departments would shrink this disparity, said Mark Pletcher, MD, a UCSF assistant professor of epidemiology and biostatistics and lead author of the study. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
The study results are published in the January 2 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
Opioids are narcotic drugs used to treat patients with moderate to severe pain. Their use in emergency rooms increased overall from 23 to 37 percent between 1993 and 2005. National quality improvement guidelines on pain control in 2001 called for increased monitoring of pain status and stressed the need for adequate pain control. Since then, the hospital use of opioids has further increased. The new study is the first to assess national opioid prescribing patterns in the emergency room setting since implementation of the guidelines.
Among the findings:

Emergency services were alerted around 8pm last night after a "small electrical fire" broke out in the building. Smoke was seen coming from the cable which supplies power to one of the tower's two lifts.
But the crew of HMS Bangor, which is moored on the River Clyde near the centre, rushed to the scene and managed to put out the flames before the fire service arrived.
A spokesman for Scottish Fire and Rescue said there was no major damage, but the lift would have to be checked by electrical engineers before it could be safely operated again. The tower has two lifts, so the facility could open today with just one in use.
The latest drama comes four days after the 417ft structure reopened following years of problems and delays, including fixing issues with its lifts.
Around £1.8 million had been spent refurbishing the tourist attraction over the past four years after lift failures led to an incident in 2005 when 10 people were trapped for several hours. Additional maintenance problems resulted in closures, with the tower eventually shut in 2010.
The £10 million tower, first opened in 2001, is the only structure in the world capable of rotating 360 degrees into the prevailing wind.

Curriculum work, research papers have their value irrespective of whether you are from a reputed college or not
Now, youth associates themselves more with the brand name of the college than the course they want to take up. Is it because of peer pressure? Is being from a reputed college more important than the course you take? To get into a branded college has become more of a competition. The Hindu EducationPlus asked some students from Christ College, Bangalore, whether brand name should be given more importance than the course.
Rohan George Mathew (second year B.Sc): The course is more important than what college you choose. College activities are important but to get the job one's own performance matters. When people choose college over course only some get away with it but more importantly it is a risk one should not be willing to take. Today competition has become very important everywhere and therefore what course you take becomes more important than what college you select. So, at the end of the day, reputed colleges might be given preference at some places but what really matters is what you do.
Anoo Bhuyan (second year B.A. Communicative English): For a particular course maybe the more reputed college is preferred but in my opinion what one does in college matters. Curriculum work, research papers have their value irrespective of whether you are from a reputed college or not. So, whether from a reputed college or not it should ideally boil down to the course curriculum.
Aditya Saharia (second year Communication and Media Studies): From a job perspective course definitely matters and how you perform on your own. When one applies for a job it won't really matter which college you come from; the employer will only see your capability. If I had to choose I would obviously look at a good college but if I don't get my course there then I will not give it priority. There will be more opportunity for growth if I take up what I like and not merely a college because of its brand name even if I don't get the course I want.
Ratika Yumnam (second year B.A.): I do not give much importance to brand name, it is the course that matters. But nowadays most people consider going to a college with a name. Of course your confidence is much more than someone from a college less known but that is because of peer pressure and you can be what you want in spite of what college you are in. I have seen a lot of people who prefer a college because they think they will get recruited on the basis of the college's name but that's generally not what is seen.
Sumana Sri (second year B.A Media Studies and Psychology): Colleges do make a difference now. I'm doing B.A. from Christ College and people really care about the college I come from. If you do a course from a good college people are impressed vis-a-vis someone doing the same course from a lesser known college. Fine examples of colleges with reputed names are Stanford or Oxford; so someone from Stanford will be given way more importance than someone from another college. Obviously these colleges have gained competition over many years but what should be done is to look at course over college.

Buffalo's Early News in Depth
Hear John & Susan with
Bill Naab, MatchMyWork.com
Pt. 1 | Pt II | Pt. III | Pt. IV
With graduation season in full swing, Buffalo's Early News & WBEN.com is taking a look at the job prospects facing the class of 2014.
|"There's two main trends that have been in place for a while. One is in technical occupations , and the other is in the medical field. In the medical field it's mainly because of demographics, and in the technical fields we have had a shortage of everything from engineers top computer programmers. Those guys really hit the ground running when they graduate,"
-- John Slenker
Regional Economist, NYS Dept. Of Labor
The Most Abundant Jobs in WNY
According to the NYS Labor Dept., WNY graduates face a big supply of lower wage service jobs to get them by, and a fast growing booml in the medical, engineering and technical fields. And accountants have the most abundant local job that requires a four year degree.
NYS Dept. Of Labor projections show that low skill positions like waiters, retail clerks & cashiers are the most abundant in Western New York, but the health care field and technical fields (engineering, computer related, etc) are showing the strongest growth in recent years.
April's unemployment rate in WNY is 5.8 %, down from 7.5 % the prior year, but job growth is far flatter in the short term

Hot and Sweet Basil Soup
October 9, 2009
Servings:Makes about 32 oz.
After juice fasting for 50 days, I decided to start back eating. . . very slowly and carefully. It seemed that blending my food for a while would be easier on my system then actually eating it. So, I created this blended soup and was very pleased with the taste and texture. Use as much or little cayenne, herbs, and stevia as you like. Hey, use as much or little of any other ingredients you like. I'll never know the difference!

Patrick is by far SA's best flyhalf at the moment now that Goosen is out. I
would not compare Goosen with Pat because of Goosens lack of finals rugby
although he is a brilliant young prospect. Pat has had a bunch of finals
including winning one of those finals almost single handedly agianst the WP in
2010. If he is injury free this season at the Sharks and Boks, expect him to
become one of the flyhalf greats.

Suppose this appeared in Star Trek
A single seat fighter with quantum flux warp engines, shields, phaser cannons, and quantum flux torpedoes, top speed is warp 9.8. The quantum flux engines use a zero point energy cell that needs to be replaced after 24 hours of usage, this cell is not rechargable. The ship requires no antimatter to operate.
What Star Trek time period would this likely appear in?
Agree with Albertese. 25th or 26th century although maybe as early as 24th century in the TNG-continuity.
"Quantum"-named weaponry only start to appear in late 23rd century. ZPEs unheard of AFAIK in TNG-continuity.
A fighter as you described would have a maximum range of 50 LY on one 24 hour ZPE in the TNG continuity. (Warp 9.9 = 21,000c from "The 37's".
Yep, and for exploration purposes, they would be based on carrier starships, it is those carrier starships that would service these fighters and replace the Zero Point Energy Cells, the main reason is that antimatter storage is bulky and there is the matter of radiation shielding at such a small scale, and while Zero Point Energy Cells are more expensive, they allow greater miniaturization and greater warp potential for such a small starship. Another possible use for this fighter is as a time machine, by conducting the sling shot maneuver around a star for instance, its greater computer processing power allows for more accurate and less risky time warp calculations, there is still some risk in these, but as it is only a one-person starship, the risk to crew is minimized. Time traveling warp fighters also have cloaking devices, as they have no onboard transporters, so the ship has to be physically landed on a planet's surface, and then hidden by a cloaking device so it is not discovered by downtime natives.

8 Tips and Tricks On How To Properly Store Fresh Produce
Do you ever find yourself tossing out spoiled fruit and vegetables? These 8 tips and tricks on how to properly store fresh produce will help extend the shelf life of your produce and save you money!
The University of Arizona conducted a study that analyzed families and their eating habits and found that, on an average, over 470 pounds of food was tossed out (14% of all food brought home), at an annual cost of $600! One fourth of all produce Americans buy is thrown out because it has gone bad, which sums up nationally to around $43 billions dollars worth of food per year!
If your produce goes bad after just a few days, it may be because you are storing it improperly. Some fruits and vegetables give off ethylene gas (a ripening agent), that speeds the ripening of ethylene-sensitive foods (and thus leaving them to rot at a much higher rate). If some of your produce has mold on it, this mold can proliferate and rapidly spread to anything nearby. If you do have spoiled produce, make sure you toss it out immediately to prevent spoilage of nearby food items.
Lengthen shelf life
Putting fruit and vegetables in cooler areas (like the fridge) slows down the respiration process and helps make (most) produce last longer. In warmer temperatures, produce respires at a much faster rate, making the ripening process much faster.
You do want to slow down the rate of respiration, however, you do not want to stop it altogether. Sticking produce in airtight plastic bags in the fridge is one of the worst things you can do to fruit and vegetables. You will suffocate them and speed up the rate of decay (and thus leave you throwing out tonnes of produce)
If you recall earlier when I mentioned ethylene gas (a natural ripening agent released from fruit and vegetables), this can lead to premature decay. If you put greens like kale, collards or spinach in the same bin as nectarines, peaches or apples, you will find your greens turning yellow and limp in just a few days.
Trick #1:
Separate produce that emits ethylene from produce that is ethylene-sensitive:
– High ethylene-gas emitting produce: apples, nectarines, apricots, papayas, avocados, passion fruit, cantaloupe, peahces, cherimoyas and pears
– Keep these foods away from high ethylene-gas emitting produce: bananas (ripe), broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cucumbers, eggplant, lettuce and other leafy greens, parsley, peas, peppers, squash, sweet potatoes and watermelon
– Refrigerate apples, apricots, canteloupe, figs, and honeydew
– Don't refrigerate avocados, unripe bananas, nectarines, peaches, pears, plums, and tomatoes
Trick #2:
Eat more perishable items first.
For example, eat your fragile raspberries sooner than you would your apples. Fruit that ripens faster, eat first, and fruit that takes longer to ripen eat last.
Eat First:
– Artichokes
– Asparagus
– Avocados
– Bananas
– Basil
– Broccoli
– Cherries
– Dill
– Green beans
– Mustard greens
– Mushrooms
– Watercress
– Strawberries
– Raspberries
Eat Second:
– Apricots
– Bell peppers
– Brussels sprouts
– Bell peppers
– Grapefruit
– Cauliflower
– Leeks
– Lemons
– Mint
– Oranges
– Oregano
– Peaches
– Parsley
– Pears
– Spinach
– Plums
– Tomatoes
– Watermelon
Eat Third (these last for quite a while):
– Apples
– Cabbage
– Beets
– Carrots
– Celery
– Garlic
– Potatoes
– Onion
– Winter squash
Trick #3:
Some fruit and vegetables should never be refrigerated, or should not be refrigerated until fully ripe!
For example, keep tomatoes FAR AWAY from the fridge! They turn mealy and flavourless if refrigerated. Keep tomatoes at room temperature to ripen, and only store tomatoes in the fridge if they have been cut.
Melons should not be refrigerated until fully ripe. If you put them in the fridge when they are still hard, they will turn rubbery and flavourless. The only exception here is watermelon, which tastes wonderful refrigerated (it gets a little more crunchy I find)
Winter squashes, onion, garlic and potatoes should not be kept in the fridge either, and should be kept in a cool dark place.
Trick #4:
Use perforated plastic bags to allow for air circulation (this also prevents drying out of produce)
Trick #5:
Fresh herbs do well when you store them in water. Use mason jars, and fill them with a little bit of water – you can use these mason jars to store parsley, cilantro, oregano, sage, marjoram, basil, rosemary, tarragon, mint and chives.
For cruciferous greens like kale, chard, and collards, remove the tough stems and cut the leaves into ribbons. Store them in a perforated plastic bag with damp paper towel to keep them fresh. Likewise, you can also store your greens in little water containers to keep the leaves crisp and prevent wilting (just put the base of your romaine, kale, chard, collards, or other leafy greens in a mason jar with a little bit of water)
Trick #6:
To prevent root vegetables from wilting, cut off their tops before refrigerating.
Trick #7:
Use paper towel in your produce bags to absorb extra moisture (this is good for leafy vegetables and herbs, especially if there is not enough room in your fridge to use the mason jar & water idea)
Trick #8:
Never soak your mushrooms in water, and do not wash them in water before storing them. Mushrooms should be left alone – water spoils their flavour. If they are muddy, remove the mud just before you eat them with a dry towel (the mud should just crumble off – and a little bit of dirt never hurt anyone, especially if you are consuming organic produce)
fabulous advice.

Keeping Mosquitos Out of Your Yard
WESTFIELD, Mass. (WGGB)- It's tough to enjoy time in the backyard this summer with mosquitos all around. But there are ways to keep your yard mosquito free this summer.
You can spray yourself with mosquito repellent, or take it even one step further, spray your land. There are store bought products available or you can hire a professional service.
"Basically it's a leaf blower, but it has this 4.5 gallon tank in the back, which we pour the ingredients into the top," says Nick Catjakis, Mosquito Shield employee.
"99.97% natural, which is very safe for pets and for children in yards," explains Steve Sutton, owner of Western Mass Mosquito Shield.
The product is made of up of different spices, and they say it has a garlicky floral scent. To apply, workers spray the perimeter of the household and try to cover as much foliage as possible.
"If the mosquito lands on the foliage it will get to the mosquito's wing and kill the mosquito," explains Sutton.
Western Mass. Mosquito Shield has treated over 200 homes. Crews go every 2 weeks to keep up the property.
One thing you can do on your own to keep the mosquitos out is remove breeding grounds from your yard. For example, water sitting on top of the pool deck, other puddles that don't dry out, flowerpots with excess water, kiddie pools, and bird baths.
Keeping the unwanted pests out will make invited guests to your home, very happy and comfortable this summer.

An estimated 200 Tourism Industry Association (TIA) member
businesses around the country can expect to see a marked
reduction in their 2013-14 ACC levies, from $3.48 to $0.84
per $100 of payroll, following a review of their risk levels
requested by the association.
The businesses are classified by ACC as ''amusement and other
recreation activities''.
Alpine and whitewater recreation operators, who are also in
this category at present, are also in line for a levy
reduction, from $3.48 to $2.56 per $100 of payroll. ACC will
classify those operators under a new, separate category from
April 1.
The reductions come after the association worked with ACC to
review how levies were set for operators in the adventure
tourism and outdoor activity sector.
The actual risks involved were analysed and several hundred
historical claims made by businesses covered by the
''amusement and other recreation activities'' classification
Association chief executive Martin Snedden said in a
statement the adjustments would make ''a huge difference to
the profitability of many of our member businesses.
''It also fairly reflects the nature and level of risk of
these businesses.''
Shotover Canyon Swing general manager Matt Hollyer, of
Queenstown, said the levy cuts would save his business more
than $10,000 a year in ACC levies.
''We really appreciate the efforts TIA made for us on this
matter,'' he said.
''This is a massive reduction in costs and shows the benefits
of having a strong member organisation to tackle these issues
on our behalf.''

ClassicsOnline Home » BRUCH: Violin Concerto No. 1 / Konzertstuck / Romance, Op. 42 > Review List
Strap yourself in for a thrilling orchestral ride.
Maxim Fedotov produces a gloriously full and weighty sound, ideal for Bruch's Romantic blockbuster. Not since Isaac Stern's mid-1960s classic have those famous skin-tingling melodies hit the emotional bull's-eye with such overwhelming intensity. If only the recording had possessed greater body and clarity, it would have been an outright winner. The two-movement Konzertstück was originally intended as a fourth concerto and is again played with scorching commitment by Fedotov, who clearly believes in every note…Fedotov's surging spontaneity carries the day. © 2012 Classic FM

In part two of Megyn Kelly's fiery interview with disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner, the Fox News host asked how he could be so cocky.
"I'm trying to understand how somebody with a secret like that could go on national television and be that cocky," Kelly said on her show Monday, the second half of the interview which ran Friday.
"When you say, 'that cocky,' you mean answer your questions?" Weiner said.
Kelly ran clips of two separate interviews with Weiner prior to his scandal going public.
"Listen to you," Weiner said. "You were talking over me the entire time. Do you think that's good tv?"
Not backing down, Kelly said getting answers to her questions is good tv.
"Do you think your viewers care about what I have to say," Weiner asked.
Not missing a beat, Kelly answered bluntly.
"That remains to be seen," she said.

What is a PC? The acronym "PC" stands for personal computer, but the term "PC" implies so much more than that.
A PC is an IBM-based system.
When you're talking computers, you've got two types of systems: PC and Mac. A PC is an IBM-based personal computer, typically running Windows. Mac machines are built by Apple, and they run Mac's proprietary software. If you're not using a Mac, you're using a PC.
Unlike a Mac, a PC can consist of a broad range of PC components and operating systems. IBM created the original PC back in the early 1980s, and PCs followed the IBM style and architecture for years after that.
PC components vary widely.
The term "PCs" typically refers to desktop PCs. Laptops can also be PCs, but generally people use the term "laptop" or "notebook" to describe a laptop. The major difference between desktop PCs and Mac machines is that desktop PCs are made by a variety of manufacturers, and they consist of a broad range of PC components. You can build custom PCs with individual components from different manufacturers, or you can buy PCs from several different manufacturers, including Hewlett Packard, Dell, Toshiba, Sony or Compaq.
Mac computers, on the other hand, are manufactured only by Apple and run only the Mac operating system. You won't find a broad configuration of Mac computers. You can order a custom system to a limited degree, but you have to go through Apple to do it.
PCs tend to be less expensive than Mac computers.
With all the PC manufacturers out there, you've got a variety of options. You can choose from entry-level desktop PCs all the way up to power systems consisting of high-end hardware. Mac, on the other hand, starts at the same price as a high-end PC because Mac has no competition. If you're looking for a cost-effective desktop computer, PCs easily defeat Macs.
The PC is just the computer.
When people refer to a "personal computer" or "desktop PCs," they may use the term to describe all of the PC components, but that isn't technically what it means. A computer is the tower itself; the case that contains the hard drive, memory and processor. The other PC components, such as the monitor, keyboard and mouse are technically not a part of the personal computer, and they aren't really covered when people refer to a PC.
PCs use non-Mac operating systems.
Mac computers use Mac operating systems. PCs, on the other hand, can run any operating system other than the Mac OS, depending on the operating system. You can technically run Windows Vista, Linux or a proprietary operating system on a PC, and all of them would still be considered personal computers. In fact, Microsoft and Apple have taken such ownership of the PC and Mac style computers that they began advertising campaigns in which their respective users claim "I'm a Mac" or "I'm a PC" to identify their allegiance to their respective computer style.
Learn how to build a gaming PC for your desktop. The gorgeous, fluid graphics and game play of a gaming PC come at a cost. Of all the applications you can run on your computer, games are the most resource intensive.
To connect a computer to TV monitors, you need a few basic items: the right adapter or cable and a little savvy. Connecting your computer to your TV is simple if you follow these easy steps.

Some of the most common electrical problems in your home are very minor, like a set of outlets or lights going dead but other problems can be more complicated such as tripping circuit breakers.
With most homes, there are enough circuits established that using basic appliances such as the microwave and washer at the same time isn't detrimental to the circuit itself nor does it cause any issues with regards to it shutting down.
Unfortunately, older homes built in the 1950s or 1960s that haven't undergone renovation may have problems with circuits frequently shutting down. Older circuits are not as equipped to deal with the high voltage of modern appliances.

Other problems with older homes are that sometimes they have cloth or aluminum covered wiring. This type of wiring can become a fire hazard.
The only way to fix problems like this would be to contact an electrician and have your house rewired to establish more circuits.
While this may be costly, it will be worth the cost if you plan on selling your home. During inspection, you may be forced to compensate for faulty circuits.
"Some homes in SCV, specifically older homes, have aluminum covered wires. These wires get hotter when you run electricity through them. We can go in and make the wires much safer," Judd Boykin of Valencia Electric said.
Since 2004 Valencia Electric has been serving the Santa Clarita Valley and offers a range of services including whole house rewiring at a reasonable cost.

Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou is convinced they're over the worst after Saturday's 6-0 thrashing of Manchester City.
Kalou has declared everything is back to normal at Stamford Bridge following the departure of Jose Mourinho: "I had it at Feyenoord when Ruud Gullit left. But in that situation Gullit left at the end of the season.
"In this case, it didn't happen like that, but it's all experience. It's all part of football. In this game you meet people, you work with people, but things change.
"Jose Mourinho brought me to Chelsea so in that respect it was difficult to see him go. But for me, it is also important that you keep the great memories of that person and look back on it as a good time.
"I'm a professional footballer and these things happen so we have to move on.
"The most important thing is the team. As professionals, that's all that matters, so we have to give our best to whoever we are working with.
"Avram likes his players to be focused on their jobs and their goals. He knows what he wants and where he's going. So we have to make his job as easy as we can by giving him our best."
