By James Slater: When he was last seen in action, rough and tough welterweight Jesse Feliciano was doing himself proud battling huge betting favourite and IBF welterweight king Kermit Cintron. Expected by many to be blown away, the 25-year-old Feliciano instead gave Cintron a real war, both taking and landing some hurtful shots. Finally stopped while still on his feet in round ten, Feliciano had just given his career and his name a massive boost. Now proven to be very much world class, the 15-6-3(9) warrior would be welcomed back as soon as he was ready to box again.
Now, this coming April 25th, Feliciano is ready to step back into the ring. Opposing him will be another fighter who came very close to winning a big fight in his last outing. Ukraine-born Bronx native Andrey Tsurkan was last seen losing a highly contentious split decision to the unbeaten Yuri Foreman, in a fight that saw Tsurkan lose the NABF light-middleweight strap he had won by defeating Hector Camacho Jnr. Many felt the split decision awarded to Foreman was a bad verdict, not least the 30-year-old Tsurkan himself.
Now the Ukrainian has the chance to get his own career right back on track with a fight with the crowd pleasing Feliciano. Neither guy was happy with how their last fight ended - the brave Feliciano, though taking heavy punishment at the end of the 10th round, still wanted to fight on - and now they meet in a very interesting clash. The bout will be fought at light-middleweight, a first for Feliciano, and will take place in New York, to be televised on ESPN 2. So who will win?
It remains to be seen whether or not Jesse will show any detrimental effects from the quite brutal amount of punishment he took in the Cintron fight. His chin tested like never before, Feliciano ate hard shot after hard shot. Sure, he took the blows and didn't go anywhere, but at what cost? Of course, tough fights are nothing new to Jesse Feliciano, and he will no doubt be ready to rumble again in April. The Las Vegas resident has certainly been in with his share of good opponents. With a win over another tough guy, in Alfonso Gomez, along with his upset win over the highly touted Delvin Rodriguez, Feliciano will surely feel he will be able to handle anything Tsurkan, 25-3(16) will bring to the party. Tsurkan is an aggressive-minded fighter, with good power in both hands, as his 16 KO wins prove, and he too has been in with good men - Camacho Jnr and Foreman being his best opponents. But is he tougher than Feliciano? Is any fighter, for that matter?
Barring any ill effects suffered in the Cintron war, which cannot be ruled out when one considers how hard the Puerto Rican hits, and how many time he hit Jesse flush, Feliciano figures to battle his way to close and hard-fought ten round points win. The fight is about as close to a 50/50 affair as can be imagined, however, not least due to the action taking place at Tsurkan's accustomed weight of 154 pounds. The weight factor just may tilt things in the Ukrainian's favour, but who would bet against the ultra-tough Feliciano winning yet another gruelling fight?
It won't be easy, but look for Feliciano to improve his record to 16-6-3(9) on April 25th - most likely by an exciting and ultra-competitive fight. Should we really expect anything less from a Jesse Feliciano bout?

Most of us have heard the old Christmas musical standard Silver Bells (inspired by the sound of Salvation Army bell ringers) with its jingling refrain, "…it's Christmastime in the city." But maybe the "new sound" of an American Christmas may be more appropriately described as the roar of canon fire … or at least the static of endless bickering.
There's a lot of battle lingo being tossed around in the news already this holiday season: the War on Christmas, Occupy Christmas, not to mention the ever-present Salvation Army and their bell-ringing bucket brigade fight against poverty.
The latest skirmish in this vein is the uproar over a recent corporate decision made by midwestern retailer Mills Fleet Farm. Fleet Farm's co-president, Stewart Mills Jr., anounced the company would donate funds directly to the Salvation Army in lieu of allowing bell-ringers to collect at their stores. The decision (made primarily to prevent their legal obligation to allow other solicitors onto their property) was then quickly and apologetically overturned as "unfortunate" and "wrong" after a flurry of media coverage. The change of policy was not further explained, but in financially difficult times, bad PR can prove costly.
Other retailers are heeding the Christmas war cry of politically agressive conservative groups such as The American Family Association and the Liberty Counsel, each of which maintains a "naughty and nice" list of U.S. retail businesses who do or do not use the word "Christmas" in their advertising, in order to pressure companies to toe the conservative Christian line. Walgreen's recent decision to use Christmas-specific phrasing (rather than generic references to "holidays"), was declared as a War on Christmas public relations and media victory by right-wing conservative groups.
At a time when many Christians (such as myself) are preparing to comemmorate the birth of our proclaimed Prince of Peace, the religious right once again takes its own bizarre twist on the Holy Christian Scripture for the militant rhetoric of its political crusade.

The "Salvation Army" pft! I'd never give a nickel to religious militants.
Read the article and the post but yours Maryanne E made me stop, think and smile. Your short post summed up the true holiday spirit. Soooo, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Blessed Solstice and Merry Yule! In other words, Happy Holidays!
I would like to add one last thing and it is something from my favorite movie. Mankind should be our business and not just at Christmas but every single day.
With all the extremely serious things going on globally, we Americans waste our precious time bickering over what is politically correct or incorrect for the Holidays.
I grew up celebrating Christmas and not Xmas. And, we always spoke, heard, wrote and read Merry Christmas and seldom Happy Holidays. We are in the process of losing the Arctic as we know it, glaciers, and a countless number of living species, and yet we are focused more on many insignificant issues. With each American citizen fighting for his or her individual rights, including the non-American ones who should not have ANY rights whatsoever, I feel America has gotten extremely petty in most of its political arenas and is losing sight of THE REAL ISSUES OF CONCERN!
Oh, by the way, I hope all of you Have a Very Merry Christmas!
It's the biggest commercial holiday of the year! What's holy about that?
The one thing I think about most at this time of year is SPRING!!!
War on Christmas.. what a bunch of BS.
Maryanne E.
that is offensive to the Jack Chick and WBC style xians. that is why they hate happy holidays. because it's about everyone else. December=Christmas season. Those fools think people worship Santa and Christmas trees and tell people Rudolf is a character that is old as dirt.(let everyone know rudolf is the true god of gimmicy holiday marketing in America! i forget how he gets in the public domain)
Christmas is based off the Pagan holiday yule, The church just put their own twist into it so they can convert the pagans who did not want to lose their holidays, there is no proof on when Jesus was born to it is technically wrong to call it Christmas, i still do. I will celebrate modern Christmas with my christian family but my fiance and i will be celebrating Yule, Have a wonderful winter solstice everyone
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Blessed Solstice and Merry Yule! In other words, Happy Holidays!
Even if the religion might be in the minority, many of these are older than Christmas itself. Nothing wrong in including everyone, is there?
The "Mall" would not be the "Mall" without the Red Bellringers. As long as they don't take away"Santa" and "Rudolf" all is not lost. Or is this next???

Define your website goals. Write down what you want to accomplish in terms of Internet traffic and visitors, sales, gaining customers or clients and/or overall success. Set a time-frame, such as six months or a year, for measuring the success of your website launch. Write down an official launch date for your website.
How to Create Launch Plan for a Site Web Presence
Much more work is involved with launching a Web presence than simply setting up a website. You need to set goals, make plans to engage website visitors and plan for Internet advertising, among other things. Whether its an e-commerce website selling tangible goods or a membership website offering digital content, creating a plan can help you prepare for your official launch and stay organized while doing so.
Check your website to make sure it functions properly. For example, perform cross-browser checks to verify that your website works in all major Web browsers. Confirm your website utilizes title and meta data (description and keyword tags, for example) important for search engine optimization. Design a favicon---the small icon that brands Internet browsers' tabs or windows---to help with branding of your website. Proofread your website for grammar, spelling and factual errors.
Set up social media accounts for your website one to two months before the launch. For example, set up Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace profiles and any other social media accounts through which you plan to engage. Creating your social media accounts allows you to advertise them during the launch.
Install an analytics tool on your website so you can track visitors and the effectiveness of your website. Free analytics tools include Google Analytics, Clicky and Woopra. These tools can tell you how many visitors you receive each day, from where visitors are coming, the browsers visitors use and statistics concerning the pages of your Web site, such as how long users remain.
Plan the website content that you want to publish during the launch. Make a list of topics you want to cover in your blog posts or videos. Create a list of ideas for e-books, tutorials or other downloadable content you want to send customers via email during the launch. Start developing this content at least one to two months before the launch.
Set an advertising budget. Decide which forms of advertising you want to use, such as pay-per-click, banner advertising or even off-line advertising. Research websites that cater to your target market and contact the webmaster for each one to ask about advertising prices. Make a list of websites on which you want to purchase banner spaces. Create accounts with pay-per-click vendors so that you'll be ready to create PPC campaigns.
Write a checklist of all the ways in which you'll interact with customers or website visitors. Set up the framework for these activities. For example, sign up with an auto-responder service if you want to build a marketing list and contact customers via email. Install trouble-ticket or help-desk software on your Web server if you want customers to contact you in this way.
Write press releases to announce the launch of your website. Make a list of the press release services to which you want to submit, such as PRLog, Newswire Today, Betanews and ClickPress. Submit your press releases approximately one to two weeks ahead of your official launch date with an embargo warning if appropriate.

Latest Deforestation in Brazil Stories
A new report by researchers from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama and Canada's McGill University identifies gaps in forest monitoring and ways to improve data collection.
Brazilian government researchers said Tuesday that deforestation in the country's Amazon accelerated in June, with 120 square miles destroyed.
A Kansas State University geographer is part of a research team out to prove what environmental scientists have suspected for years: Increasing the production of soybean and biofuel crops in Brazil increases deforestation in the Amazon.
An increase in deforestation in March and April in the Amazon has led Brazil to announce the creation of an emergency task force.
New research from Chalmers and SIK shows that impact on the climate is much greater than current estimates indicate.
A long-lasting drought that affected the Amazon Rain Forest last year was worse than the once-in-a-lifetime drought that the region suffered in 2005, and a team of British and Brazilian scientists say it may have a bigger impact on global warming than the US does in a year.
BRASILIA, Brazil, Dec. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Deforestation rates in the Brazilian Amazon declined 14 percent from August 2009 to July 2010, reaching the lowest rates ever recorded for the second consecutive year, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva announced today in BrasÃlia.
By 2100 only 18% to 45% of the plants and animals making up ecosystems in global, humid tropical forests may remain as we know them today, according to a new study led by Greg Asner at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology. The research combined new deforestation and selective logging data with climate-change projections. It is the first study to consider these combined effects for all humid tropical forest ecosystems and can help conservationists pinpoint where their...
During his unprecedented expedition into the heart of the Amazon, Michigan State University geographer Bob Walker discovered surprising evidence that many of the Brazilian government's efforts to protect the environment are working.
Fire occurrence rates in the Amazon have increased in 59% of areas with reduced deforestation and risks cancelling part of the carbon savings achieved by UN measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and degradation.
Latest Deforestation in Brazil Reference Libraries
The Amazon Rainforest (known as Floresta Amazônica or Amazônia in Portuguese, and Selva Amazónica or Amazonia in Spanish), also known as Amazonia, or the Amazon Jungle, is a moist broadleaf forest that covers almost all of the Amazon Basin in South America. The basin consists of 1.7 billion acres, of which 1.4 billion acres is rainforest. This rainforest covers nine nations (Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana). Brazil contains...
Deforestation is the act or process of removing trees from forested lands by cutting or burning. There are many reasons for deforestation. Logs are sold as a commodity and cleared lands can be used for pastures and human settlements. The damage caused by deforestation, however, can be great. If land is not somewhat reforested it can cause damage to habitats for wildlife and other plant life, affect the aridity of the region, and possibly encourage degradation into wasteland. Due to negligent...

What is Full Psycle?
Full Psycle is the most efficient, most effective and most exciting full-body workout in the world of fitness today. We take the best parts of indoor cycling, the best parts of weight training and add in a performance measurement/competition component. In a typical 45-minute class riders will burn between 550-900 calories. Riders perform standard indoor cycling routines (hills, flats, intervals, etc) while simultaneously toning their abs, arms, back, shoulders and chest through the use of handweights and pilates-based core exercises, accomplished while maintaining fat-burning levels of cardio. Our personal achievement system measures your performance statistics (Power, RPMs, Energy) in real-time on two large HDTV displays, allowing you to compete against yourself, your instructor and/or other class participants. (This is an optional system.)
What is full-body cycling and why is Full Psycle's full-body cycling workout different from others?
Simply put, full-body cycling is an indoor cycling class that incorporates upper body strength training to provide a full-body workout. It is a workout concept that has taken over
How do I redeem and book my first class free?
First, create an account (name, email, etc) by clicking "Sign Up" in the top right corner at fullpsycle.com. Once your account is created click "Buy Classes" in the top right corner. Under Standard Series, and next to "1 Class ($17.00)", click "buy this series". On the next screen enter FIRSTCLASSFREE in the promo code field and that class will be placed in your account. Next roll your mouse over "RESERVE" in the top right hand corner and select the studio of your choice (Costa Mesa or Huntington Beach), then select the class you'd like to book, pick a bike and you're all set! Please feel free to call (714-903-7746) or email firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions!
Do you have a referral program?
We certainly do! Our program is called "Bring One Get One!" Bring a friend who's never been to Full Psycle to a class and we'll give YOU a free class to use on a future visit! Fine print: One free class per person per day. Both people must attend the same class. Redeem at front desk after class. In order to receive a free class, you must be using a class purchased at fullpsycle.com.
When does the schedule come out?
Our schedule comes out every Sunday at 5pm and goes from Monday through the following Sunday. So, for example, on Sunday February 17th at 5pm the schedule will be posted online and you will be able to reserve classes from Monday, February 18th through Monday February 25th. Some classes will fill up extremely quickly, so in order to expedite reserving a spot, it would be wise to have classes banked in your account before that time.
Is Full Psycle for beginners?
Full Psycle is for all levels of fitness!! It's just like riding a bike... only cooler, and much more fun!! If you've never taken an indoor cycling class, or even if you have, stop by or call 949-631-2222 for a free 15-minute consultation to learn about the Full Psycle method and proper bike setup. Just come in, we'll take care of you. Our goal is make your workout as beneficial for you as possible. Then you'll come back. And we'll be able to pay our rent!! We like that!!
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations not made eight hours before class will be charged for that class. Unlimited members will be charged $10 for cancellations not made eight hours prior to class. To cancel, log into your account and click "unreserve". Within eight hours of class you will be given the option to "late cancel." With a "late cancel" you will forfeit that class, however, it will allow you to give up your bike so another client can book. Good karma!
What is your waitlist policy?
If MEMBER goes online to reserve a bike and the class is full, MEMBER has the option to sign up for our waitlist. As bikes open up, we give them away automatically to riders on the waitlist, in order of when they put themselves on it. The waitlist won't be an option for MEMBER unless MEMBER has a class or series already purchased. Riders enrolled in the class must be ON THEIR BIKE at the scheduled class start time, otherwise we will give your bike to a MEMBER on the waitlist and you will be charged according to our Cancellation Policy.
If MEMBER is on our the waitlist for a class, three things can happen:
1) The class remains full and MEMBER doesn't get a bike. The series will be returned to MEMBER's account to be used at a future date.
2) A bike opens up before our cancellation window closes (at least eight hours before class). MEMBER is automatically added to the class and will receive an e-mail notification.
3) A bike opens up within our cancellation window. We will send a text message and call MEMBER and MEMBER will have the option of choosing to enroll in the class. If MEMBER chooses not to enroll, the class will be returned to MEMBER's series. If MEMBER does not return our text or voicemail within 15 minutes, or MEMBER does not choose to enroll in the class, we will then contact the next MEMBER on the waitlist.
If MEMBER is on the waitlist, we assume MEMBER wants to take the class. If MEMBER is automatically enrolled from the waitlist (#2 above), MEMBER is now considered a rider in that class and our standard cancellation policy now applies. If MEMBER can no longer make a class MEMBER is waitlisted for, MEMBER must take himself or herself off the waitlist at least eight hours before class to prevent unwanted charges. While we appreciate and understand the desire to secure yourself a spot in one class while being waitlisted in another, please note that we do not offer the option of swapping classes. If MEMBER ends up scheduled for both classes, MEMBER will be automatically charged for both.

Rome, Italy
My Rating
Perfect cos I skipped the line - all I needed.
Paris, France
My Rating
Well, I din't like it but that was only because all I wanted was to skip the line then do my thing. I felt restricted having to follow the group around and do what they were all doing.
Otherwise if my purpose had been a tour and information, it was good. Anya was energetic and knowledgeable.
My verdict is it's worth doing just to skip the line.

Holiday cheer lifts patients' spirits
Toddler Emilie sat on Maggie's bed, opening a mountain of presents with the help of her grandparents, Martha and Tom Rodriguez.
Christmas for the Rodriguezes usually involves an elaborate party with a spread of turkey, ham and sweet potatoes laid out for Maggie's great-grandmother, grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Maggie and her immediate family couldn't join the relatives this year, but they look forward to enjoying some leftovers.
"Maggie can't eat a lot of it, but they'll bring some of everything and we'll be happy if she can eat a little of it," Martha Rodriguez said.
Throughout the day, nurses delivered festive pillowcases filled with donated toys for visiting siblings. A guitar player serenaded patients in their rooms. A photographer delivered copies of his picture book with glossy photos of dogs, a project funded by a Carlsbad couple who hoped to lift the spirits of patients missing their pets.
The presents left a huge smile on the face of 4-year-old Noalani Kuheleloa, who is undergoing treatment for a brain tumor.
"She woke up this morning and saw the bright packages of gifts and said: 'See, Mom? I told you Santa would come here,' " said Noalani's mother, Candis Williams of Imperial Beach.
For older patients like Mariah "Riley" Williams, the holiday was just as much about giving as receiving. She spent days making a gift for her mother, a wooden plaque painted in glittery blue with a handwritten message:
"Dear Mommy, I just want to thank you for being there through all the hard times I've been through. If I could give you the world, I would in return. You have taught me so much. … I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Riley"

A kayaker trying to traverse "car-sized boulders" on a trip
in the eastern Bay of Plenty sparked a helicopter call-out
after slipping and falling into a river.
The man and another male kayaker were making their way along
the Motu River, when they came across some "car-sized
boulders blocking the way", Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC)
spokesman Steve Rendall said.
They were carrying their kayaks over the rocks when one of
the men slipped and fell in the water.
"He was washed down stream...and ended up sticking to a
"Fortunately they had their personal locator beacon attached
to them. They were able to use that and it saved the day."
The Taupo Greenlea Rescue Helicopter was notified of the
beacon signal by RCC at about 5pm.
The man was in the water for about 3 hours before he was
picked up in the upper reaches of the river.
"They were picked up and flown back to a farm house where
they received some good old Kiwi hospitality.
"They weren't injured but they were wet and cold.
"Unfortunately in the course of the incident both of them
have lost their kayaks and some of their personal belongings
which were in the kayaks."
A LandSAR team assisted in the rescue, Mr Rendall said.
The rescue helicopter said the boulder the man was stranded
on was in the middle of a "swiftly flowing series of rapids"
in the river.
The LandSAR team were able to set a rope anchor and pull the
man to safety, it said.

No fairy tale: The saga of the Mother Goose Parade, B-list celebrities, embezzled funds
El Cajon's former councilwoman painted as both generous civic booster, star-struck 'small town girl'
Over a breakfast omelet at a cafe on Main St. — "my second office," he joked — Lewis said public service was organic in the Hanson family.
"You just know certain people are going to get involved and be a key person. She was a go-getter. She always wanted to be involved in politics, even before her father let her," said Lewis, who has been Hanson-Cox's close friend for years.
Gary Kendrick, who sat next to her on the council for eight years, remembered that from her first day in office in 2004, she made it a priority to spend quality time with her constituents.
"Sometimes she would come to the council meetings very, very tired from meeting all these constituents," he said. "We would take out our council activity reports and hers would always be the longest of anybody's."
He added that it was hard for Hanson-Cox to have someone angry with her. "She would be upset and tell me, 'So and so is mad at me,' or 'I don't understand why they don't like me,' " he said. He would remind her that comes with the territory of public service.
She ran for her first term in 2004 on a pro-business, pro-development platform. Her second campaign, in 2008, was unfolding while she was planning that year's parade. Kendrick teased her about her priorities.
"I remember mentioning one time, during election season, that the Mother Goose Parade was more important to her than getting elected."
'Star after star after star'
Hanson-Cox hired Steven Gerard, a celebrity booking agent, to help her reinvent the parades of 2007 and 2008.
Gerard says the first year, she asked for a handful of celebrities to perk things up. The next year he was "booking star after star after star." Around 40, he estimates. "She just kept wanting to book more celebrities, it was like an addiction. It was over the course of many, many months," he said.
Gerard calls her "a small-town girl" who got "drunk with the excitement of celebrities," but who didn't comprehend just how costly hanging with celebrities can be. She suggested bringing the parade talent en masse from L.A. in a charter bus, and he pushed back that they needed private transportation. She wanted to put people up in hotels Gerard knew wouldn't fit the bill. They compromised on a boutique hotel, he says.
Her ultimate desire: Ryan Reynolds, famous as much for his role in "The Proposal" as for his oft-photographed abs. "She said, maybe we can make an offer to Ryan Reynolds to be in (the parade), and I can come to Los Angeles to have lunch with him, and people can take our picture and say 'Who's that woman with Ryan Reynolds?' And I'm cringing because it's just not really reality."
That never happened.
Gerard occasionally paused to wonder how a small city could afford such extravagance.
"Wow, this budget is awesome. Where's it coming from? You think there's sponsors, you think people are really wealthy and they want to throw money around so they can have their picture taken with celebrities."

Team Cellucor Athlete, Calum von Moger, Crowned Mr. Universe at WFF Universe Championships
Australian powerhouse and Team Cellucor Athlete, Calum von Moger, was crowned Mr. Universe in the Extreme Body Class at the 2014 WFF Universe Championships in Seoul, South Korea.
New York, N.Y. (PRWEB) July 08, 2014
The World Fitness Federation (WFF) Universe Championships call on elite bodybuilding athletes from around the world to take the stage and compete for the ultimate title in their respective categories. Team Cellucor Athlete, Calum von Moger, took home the coveted Mr. Universe title in the Extreme Body Class. The competition was a significant milestone for the Australian bodybuilding powerhouse because it qualifies Calum as a WFF Pro.
Athletes who compete in the WFF Universe Championships go through three rounds of rigorous judging. The WFF panel evaluates competitors on several criteria: presentation/individual routine, physique symmetry, and grade of muscularity. During round one competitors show off their figures, personality and presence; in round two they demonstrate their body shape and symmetry; and in round three competitors exhibit muscle size and definition.
Calum shattered the competition, and while much of the fitness industry has dubbed Calum "Arnold 2.0," after industry great, Arnold Schwarzenegger, his classic physique, personality, drive and now, Mr. Universe title all make Calum a star in his own right.
"The Cellucor team is so proud of Calum's Mr. Universe win. Calum is undoubtedly one of the brightest stars this industry has seen in a long time. His unrivaled charisma, humility, and most importantly, his commitment to himself and his signature style, make him a force to be reckoned with. I'm certain this is just the beginning for him," remarked Cellucor Marketing VP, Daniel Lourenco.
Though Calum is only 24 years old, he is no rookie in the fitness industry. Calum von Moger began his fitness career at a young age as a certified personal trainer. His love for bodybuilding inspired him to pursue the sport competitively.
In 2010, he competed in the NB Teenage 19 & Under Victorian Bodybuilding Championships, where he won 1st place. This significant win only deepened his passion, and he continued to compete, winning several more titles including, 1st place in the NABBA Junior International Championships and 1st place WFF Junior Mr. Universe – Superbody (Baden, Austria) in 2011. Calum rose even higher in 2013, when he took 1st place in the NABBA Class 1 International Championships and 3rd place in the NABBA Class 1 Southern Hemisphere Championship.

Where Andy MacDonald beats "Hawk" over the head with his own board is the sheer amount of playability in MTV Sports Skateboarding.
True, there are a ton of levels and different gameplay modes, but the control is going to bug you to no end.
Couldn't possibly appeal to anyone. With a seemingly random frame rate, stiff and ugly animation, and a control scheme that fights you every step of the way.

The International Franchise Association just released (with the help of PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP) their study of the economic outlook for our industry in 2010.
Bottom Line;
A few $Billion in small business loans will help!
Now, what follows is a projection. No one has a crystal ball.
From franchise.org
The U.S. economy is expected to experience
slow growth in 2010 as the nation begins to recover from the recession.
The Franchise Business Economic Outlook for 2010's macro view of the
economy anticipates nominal gross domestic product (GDP) to grow 3.8
percent, while economy wide employment is projected to increase 0.4
percent in 2010," said Drew Lyon, principal in PwC's National Economics
& Statistics practice….
"Our forecast is for output of all franchise business sectors to expand modestly in 2010 as the recovery takes hold."
Here are some other highlights;
- The lending analysis report prepared for the
IFA Educational Foundation by FRANdata and released Dec. 2 estimates
that banks are expected to lend $6.7 billion to franchises in 2010
versus the $10.1 billion that would meet 100 percent of demand. The
shortfall can be attributed to banks' conservative approach to a weak
economic outlook and uncertainty in the commercial real estate market.
At 100 percent lending, franchise business could create or maintain
305,000 jobs and $32 billion of annual economic output in 2010.
- Employment is forecast to decline in Lodging
(-2.4 percent) and Commercial and Residential Services( -0.9 percent)
and increase in the other eight sectors, with the largest percentage
increases expected in Real Estate (1.3 percent), Quick Service
Restaurants (0.8 percent), Retail Food (0.7 percent) and Personal
Services (0.7 percent).
You are more than welcome to read the entire report. Here

text: Syracuse, NY -- The Syracuse football team will enter today's 8 p.m. Big East game vs. Connecticut in the Carrier Dome with a minus-10 turnover ratio. The Huskies (3-4, 0-2) are minus-7. The Orange (2-4, 1-1) has lost seven fumbles and thrown eight interceptions in six games. At least two of the lost fumbles have been the work of the author of the picks, senior quarterback Ryan Nassib. In an effort to improve the ball security of his quarterbacks SU coach Doug Marrone has devoted more time in practice recently to drills designed to help them hold onto the ball.

Hubli-bound Tipu Express stopped
MYSORE: Residents of Palahalli, including schoolchildren, senior citizens, farmers and daily-wage workers, turned out in big numbers at the village railway station on Saturday and stopped the Hubli-bound Tipu Express demanding a halt of all passenger trains at the village.
"After the Mysore-Bangalore railway line was converted into broad gauge, none of the passenger trains have been halting at Palahalli. This has caused difficulty to commuters from the village," the residents, who blocked the train for over 20 minutes, said.
They said that though a new railway platform and a ticket counter were constructed, the railway authorities had not taken any action to stop passenger trains . Palahalli, they said, was the biggest village of Srirangapatna taluk, with a population of over 10,000. Students, Government employees, farmers, labourers and artisans travel daily to Mysore, Mandya, Maddur, Channapatna, Ramanagar and Bangalore, from Palahalli, they added.

In His League: Being George Plimpton
Tom Albert Photo
In the summer of 1963, while most of his companions were toiling in sundry Manhattan offices, George Plimpton spent many a weekday alone in Central Park tossing a football. "Without someone to throw to," he later remembered, "it was a melancholy practice--to throw a ball in a park meadow and then walk to it, and throw it again--and I did it in a sort of dull, bored way." Plimpton hoped that his nonchalant bearing would convince the elderly men flying kites that he was merely awaiting the arrival of friends caught in a traffic jam. If the heat in the park was too intense, he would practice in his apartment--"a sort of studio, long enough to allow a throw into an armchair from twenty or twenty-five feet away."
Plimpton was in the grip of a quixotic notion: to become the "last-string quarterback" of the Detroit Lions. When he arrived at the Lions' training facility later that summer, he was greeted by the equipment manager, Friday Macklem, who declared, "I hear you're a writer turned footballer. You're going to play for us--making some sort of big comeback." "That's right," Plimpton replied in his patrician accent. Macklem shook his head: "Well, I've been with Detroit for twenty-seven years, dishing out uniforms all those years, and I know if I'd ever been tempted into one, I wouldn't be around to tell of it, for sure." Not only did Plimpton survive his foray into professional football, but he also produced a fine book about it, Paper Lion, which enhanced his personal wealth and literary clout. The book sold extremely well, and Tom Wolfe included excerpts from it in his famous anthology The New Journalism, published in 1973.
As a "participatory journalist," Plimpton endeavored, in a wry, self-deprecating manner, to "play out the fantasies, the daydreams that so many people have." And so he had his nose bloodied by the boxer Archie Moore at Stillman's Gym; he was vanquished by Arnold Palmer on the golf course; he floated through the air on the trapeze for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus; he performed with the New York Philharmonic; he tried stand-up comedy in Las Vegas; he was a Bedouin extra in Lawrence of Arabia; he was shot by John Wayne in Rio Lobo; he pitched to nine players, including Willie Mays, during an unofficial postseason all-star game at Yankee Stadium. From this last endeavor came a slim book, Out of My League, which contained a blurb from Plimpton's hero, Ernest Hemingway, who praised it as "beautifully observed and incredibly conceived."
Reality sometimes intruded into Plimpton's daydreams. In 1968, when Sirhan Sirhan shot Robert Kennedy in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, Plimpton helped to wrestle the pistol from the assassin's hand. In George, Being George, Nelson Aldrich Jr.'s affectionate and absorbing oral history, we learn that Plimpton never wrote about Kennedy's slaying, but that many years later, over cocktails with young staff members of The Paris Review, the journal he had led since 1953, he burst into tears at the memory of it.
But distress and trauma were fleeting occurrences in the Plimptonian realm. Throughout five decades, the writer and editor, to a breathtaking degree, enacted his daydreams and fantasies and fashioned them into a glittering persona. He was "George Plimpton"--editor, host, naturalist, toastmaster, celebrity escort, fireworks specialist, athlete, gossip and playboy. (Esquire listed him as one of the most attractive men in America.) As Nathan Zuckerman declared in Philip Roth's Exit Ghost: "When people say to themselves 'I want to be happy,' they could as well be saying 'I want to be George Plimpton': one achieves, one is productive, and there's pleasure and ease in all of it." The friends, colleagues and associates of "George Plimpton" monitored it all with varying degrees of astonishment, amusement and distress. "I have a hard time having fun, period, and he was the paragon of fun," Richard Price says in George, Being George. "George knew so many more people than I did," Norman Mailer recalled, "he was having so much more fun in New York than I was having. I felt that whatever enjoyment I was having, I had earned; and there is nothing that excites envy like the feeling that you received no more than you earned, while there was George, who had received so much more than he had earned."
Plimpton was born in Manhattan in 1927 and raised in a Fifth Avenue duplex with views of the East River and the Central Park Reservoir. His lineage was equally commanding. His great-grandfather Adelbert Ames was the youngest general in the Civil War and subsequently became a Reconstruction governor of Mississippi. His grandfather George Arthur Plimpton earned a fortune as a textbook publisher and served on the boards of the New York Philharmonic, Exeter and Barnard. His father, Francis T.P. Plimpton, was a partner at the white-shoe law firm Debevoise & Plimpton and a man whose favorite lecture at the family dinner table concerned "the beauty of the mortgage indenture."
Family summers were spent near Walt Whitman's birthplace in leafy West Hills, a tight WASP community of lawyers, brokers, bankers and architects on Long Island. The years passed in a whirl of touch football, tennis, swimming, bicycling and Ping-Pong. "My parents lived in the same small tribal community as the Plimptons," George's cousin Joan Ames told Aldrich. "I remember this little telephone table in my parents' bedroom that held the Social Register; it was the only phone book we ever used." George was not a reclusive child. "Our parents entertained there a lot," his younger brother Oakes recalled. "George came by his social appetites honestly--our parents were very social people--but I guess he outdid them and then some."
Francis T.P. Plimpton placed a high premium on a certain kind of education, and George began his schooling at St. Bernard's, next door to the family's apartment building. His classmates included Charles Morgan, J.P. Morgan's grandson, and Arthur Sulzberger, scion of the New York Times. Aldrich recounts a story about a weekend trip Plimpton made with Sulzberger to the country, in a chauffeured limousine that got a flat tire:
What followed was not the worst of George's lifetime of mortifications, but he vividly recalled his squirming embarrassment in the backseat as the chauffeur got out of the car and set about changing the tire. He remembered how the tails of the man's black uniform jacket flapped crazily in the wind of the passing traffic and how the sweat stood out on his face as he worked the jack up and down, up and down, while the rear of the car, with the little boys safe in their soft gray seats, went up, up, up.
Family ties to Exeter--his father chaired the board of trustees--facilitated George's arrival there in 1940, and he soon distinguished himself with his manners and sophistication, and his skill in athletics. He did not excel in the classroom, perhaps because, as a friend offers, "his mind was not set up for strict schedules." For disregarding curfew, Plimpton was placed on disciplinary probation; and for aiming a Revolutionary musket at the football coach, he was expelled.
He made it to Harvard nevertheless--"It was a little easier to get into Harvard in those days," Oakes Plimpton says--and arrived in 1944. He joined the Lampoon, immersed himself in the Porcellian Club and got acquainted with Archibald MacLeish, I.A. Richards and F.O. Matthiessen, whose company deepened his interest in literature and the arts. He began to ponder a career in publishing. When he decided to pursue graduate study in English in Britain, his father was not excluded from the application process. "May I again say," George wrote in a letter to his parents, "that I am more particularly interested in Cambridge at the moment, and the epistolary offensive should be directed towards that University." As usual, things went his way, and in the fall of 1950 Mr. and Mrs. Plimpton received a letter from their son about the new heights he had scaled abroad: "There is no mountain climbing here, East Anglia being notoriously flat, but there is a wonderful sport called roof-climbing."

Kids' rooms are transformed into a luxury guest suite
After a tree fell on their Centerport home in 2010, Christine and Charles Gentile decided to make over their damaged third floor into a guest suite. Previously, it had been the bedrooms of their two sons, now grown. As part of the reconstruction, they removed the ceiling, allowing a view of the inside of the homes turret. The Gentiles, who own Ashbourne Designs in Huntington, say they wanted to give the area a sense of luxury and the feel of the seaside. TOTAL: About $12,000 (Christine Gentiles fee for a makeover of this type would have been $1,500) --Sylvia E. King-Cohen

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Listening to the three discs composing Farewells and Fantasies can be heartbreaking. Following Ochs's path from witty, hopeful numbers like "What's That I Hear" and incisive barbs like "Love Me, I'm a Liberal" to the baroque Scott Walker-styled sorrow of "Pleasures of the Harbor" and "Rehearsals for Retirement" is like sputtering down an off-ramp to nowhere. Perhaps it's the grimness of Ochs's later numbers that prompted the set's compilers to skimp on the songwriter's final work in favor of the earlier, easily digestible protest songs.
Yet, while the mid-'60s songs are undeniably powerful, the darker-hued, more musically complex material that followed strikes the deepest chord. Particularly gut-wrenching is his final studio recording, "No More Songs" (1970), an ironically exquisite examination of Ochs's artistic block. Against a majestic backdrop of timpani, horns, and strings, Ochs hauntingly apologizes to the listener for surrendering his muse with "a white flag in my hand." Today it rings reminiscent of Kurt Cobain's reading of Lead Belly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." You can almost hear Ochs dying in his song. If you listen hard enough, you might hear the '60s go with him. (Ruttenberg)

Holding Up Half the Sky: Women's Voices from Around the World
YES, I KNOW: You're sick of women's film festivals, women's art collectives, goddess cults (which I swear have more variants here in Northern Cali than Mickey D's has national franchises), and "Women in Rock" magazine covers. Me? It's all fine: Art and culture need marketing hooks, and goddesses--like all deities--need worship. So aside from the chintzy Gaian new-age bookstore packaging, I heartily endorse Holding Up Half the Sky, a four-CD box, which sets out to (re?)expose far-flung artists that you'd probably never get to hear if they didn't come on a record bearing Sky's subtitle.
The music gets parsed into Asian, Celtic, Reggae, and African sets, and while the samplings aren't definitive, they're well-informed. The standout African disc bypasses Egypt's Om Kalthum--probably the continent's biggest star ever--but does include a delicious mid-'70s recording by South Africa's Miriam Makeba, probably the continent's second biggest star ever. I don't know where Zaire's Tshala Muana charts, but this set includes the boffo "Tshibola": Originally from 1991's Soukous Siren (easily one of my all-time favorite Afro-pop recordings), it has her representing tougher than L'il Kim in a Don King pay-per-view, and rocking harder than Shania Twain on a mechanical bronco. You also get girl-group mbaqanga from South Africa (the Mahotella Queens, with a little number about ritual circumcision), girl-group juju from the Lijadu Sisters singing about God-knows-what, and stranger hybrids like Malika's Swahili wedding-band pop and Malouma Mint Miadeh's Arabic-inflected take on Quiet Storm. It's all primo.
The other sets do right by their traditions, too. The Celtic disc gets points for capturing talented artists like Clannad and Mary Black before they got crossover sticky. The Asian set scores by hopping the frisson between decorum and passion (and also for how darn avant-garde it all sounds). And the reggae collection is recommended for reinvigorating history and avoiding cheese--though it should be docked for using the edited version of Rita Marley's "One Draw," which cuts out the midsong skit where the school marm gets turned on to ganja by her red-eyed Rasta pupils. Maybe the producers were worried about C. Delores Tucker? Cowards. They could always have pleaded sisterhood. (Will Hermes)

I Am Time
Blue Jackal
I AM TIME attempts the near impossible feat of compiling the history of Cuban music into one neat four-CD package. And, consequently, it fails. The greatest singer in Cuban music, supa soulsista Célia Cruz, is not here; neither is its most famous salsa bandleader, Tito Puente--assumedly for copyright reasons (Rhino has recently released excellent compilations of both). Bassist-bandleader Cachao, frequently compared to Mingus, is here, but only once. (Get to know him through Epic's Super Sessions.) Same holds true for legends like Bene Moré, and key players like Arturo Sandoval. And though its century of song reaches well into the '90s, the white-hot, genre-hopping singing star Albita Rodriquez is, sadly, not in the house. Yet, while this may not be the best possible pop-music passport to a country whose riches are known only too vaguely by most Americans (thank you "cultural boycott"), it still stands out as an excellent introduction for any curious Yan-qui, and an inexhaustible pleasure-listen, regardless of where you're from--or how much you already know.
Divided into four programs--"Bailar con Cuba," "Cantar en Cuba," "Cubano Jazz," and "Cuban Invocations"--I Am Time finds that socio-musical sacred space where Hispanic Catholicism and West African tribal religions miscegenate. My favorite song here is Merceditas Valdés's goody basket, "Osain," in which a stately, Eurocentric wash of piano and acoustic guitar fades into a sublime Afro-polyrhythmic bump-and-grind sheared by West African, call-and-response sing-chants. It comes on the "Invocations" disc, along with 12 other love-sexy Afro-Cuban prayer-jams--all of which are thoroughly discussed in Time's 112-page liner notes. As are all the different drums, dances, artists, and singing styles that crop up on the other three discs. But the notes are inessential. Bene Moré's breezy big-band beats, Ñico Sequito's spare, plaintive ballad "Maria Christina," and Irakere's acidic jazz-funk all speak for themselves, and they do it in tongues. Wild ones, and weird ones too. Oh yeah, and it comes in a cigar box. Essential. (Dolan)

In this Article
NSAIDs are used frequently by millions of individuals for treatment of pain, fever and swelling caused by inflammatory conditions as well as for pain alone. NSAIDs work by blocking the production of prostaglandins, chemical messengers that often are responsible for the pain and swelling of inflammatory conditions.
COX-2 Inhibitors
Prostaglandins are made by two different enzymes, cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). The prostaglandins made by the two different enzymes have slightly different effects on the body. COX-2 inhibitors are NSAIDs that selectively block the COX-2 enzyme and not the COX-1 enzyme. Blocking this enzyme impedes the production of prostaglandins by the COX-2 which is more often the cause the pain and swelling of inflammation and other painful conditions. Because they selectively block the COX-2 enzyme and not the COX-1 enzyme, these drugs are uniquely different from traditional NSAIDs which usually block both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes.
COX-2 inhibitors are used for treating:
What is the basic difference between traditional NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors?
COX-1 is an enzyme which is normally present in a variety of tissues in the body, including sites of inflammation and the stomach. Some of the prostaglandins made by COX-1 protect the inner lining of the stomach. Common NSAIDs such as aspirin block both COX-1 and COX-2 (see below). When the COX-1 enzyme is blocked, inflammation is reduced, but the protection of the lining of the stomach also is lost. This can cause stomach upset as well as ulceration and bleeding from the stomach and even the intestines.
The other cyclooxygenase, COX-2, also produces prostaglandins, but the COX-2 enzyme is located specifically in areas of the body that commonly are involved in inflammation but not in the stomach. When the COX-2 enzyme is blocked, inflammation is reduced; however, since the COX-2 enzyme does not play a role in protecting the stomach or intestine, COX-2 specific NSAIDs do not have the same risk of injuring the stomach or intestines.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: David J. Dries, MD (University of Minnesota Medical School)
Description: This book reproduces the opening chapters of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine: Basic Science and Clinical Evidence by the same authors (Springer, 2007).
Purpose: Evolution of pediatric critical care programs and outcome issues are emphasized in this softcover book.
Audience: Fellows and/or practitioners treating pediatric critical illness are an appropriate audience for this work, produced by faculty from leading pediatric hospitals in the United States.
Features: Initial chapters review the history of pediatric critical care, highlighting major contributors. Later chapters review ethical and administrative issues along with personnel considerations specific to children's units. Concluding chapters discuss some of the basic science specific to critical care at any age with reviews of cytokines, signal transduction, ischemia-reperfusion and molecular biology. Chapters are clearly written and contain excellent line drawings while making good use of tables. Black-and-white photographs are of lesser quality. Chapters have excellent reference lists, with citations dating to within 3 to 4 years of publication.
Assessment: This is a good read on the history and biology of the field.

A question on motivation.

Since by this age, if he doesn't have enough intrinsic/internal motivation to put in 100% on/off the court, then basically "this is" the most that he can be in tennis?
Incidentally, I am not expecting (or hoping) he'll win state or even playing college tennis, though he's good enough to play d3 single now. I just would like for him not to lose 10/12 matches this coming high school season. He's close enough to the other kids to win 6/12 matches.
Many thanks,
Is your son taking lessons and participating in clinics on a regular basis? Does his clinic include off court fitness training? If the goal is to win 50% of the high school matches, 3-4 practices a week may be enough. You may ask him to play more tournaments. Tournament play is the best training for my 16 year old son. Rewarding him for winning matches might motivate him to train harder.
