18.06.07 - By Vivek Wallace: When it comes to sports on an international platform, for whatever reason, the sport of boxing is generally one that comes up close to last. In an era that encompasses Golf great Tiger Woods, preceded by international Basketball icon Michael Jordan, unfortunately, few have found time to enjoy the sport known to it's aficionado's as the 'sweet science'.
Level of competition plays a key role in the question of 'why' Boxing has seemed to fizzle in the minds of sports fans globally, but all that could soon come to an end as things in one division in particular, (welterweights), have amped up a few notches. To put it in lyrical terms: "THINGS ARE HEATIN' UP LIKE MIAMI IN THE SUMMER WITH FIGHTERS ROUGH AND RUGGED LIKE A HUMMER"!!!
For the first time in a longtime (probably ever) Boxing fans can look down the top 10 welterweight rankings and actually recognize each of the fighters listed and in a video game like fashion, ponder what it would be like to witness a tournament that would actually pair each of these guys in a Championship eliminator. Unfortunately, the politics of the fight game won't allow that to happen but in an effort to bring that dream to life, today we'll analyze the top 8 players in the 'game'. (From less recognized to most). Aside from analyzing the fighters, we'll do a skills challenge, which will take a look at another fighter within this Elite 8 that would make for the most interesting matchup with each man.
1. Luis Collazo: 27-3, (13KO)
Talented, slick southpaw fighter with great skill. Highly underrated. Probably more talented than a couple fighters ahead of him in this breakdown but his lack of power - as evidenced in 13 KO's over 30 fights - puts him in the lower echelon until he proves differently. He may make some noise ultimately in the welterweight division but needs to get some 'big-name' victories under his belt.
Skills Challenge: Collazo vs Clottey {Slick southpaw vs Powerful Charging type fighter}
2. Joshua Clottey: 31-2, (19KO)
Very talented but major question marks are beginning to silently appear. Seems very powerful but apparently either doesn't know his own strength or simply hasn't learned how to use it to his benefit yet. Watching him punch Diego Corrales (RIP), and Antonio Margarito, you'd think he would have far more than 19KO's in 33 fights but some question his conditioning which could answer why he hasn't had too many late fight knockouts. Similar to Collazo, in order for his stock to rise he needs to get more 'big-name' victories under his belt. The other obvious stepping stone for him would be to learn to utilize his power better. The one thing that separates him from a Manny Pacquiao type pugilist is his lack of killer instinct. Juan Urango had the same problem as we saw against Brit great Ricky Hatton. He could demolish guys if he just fought with more energy and let his hands fly with reckless abandon.
Skills Challenge: Clottey vs Cintron {Both fighters have power, but need to polish other aspects of their game}
3. Kermit Cintron: 27-1, (25KO)
This guy was well on his way to becoming Puerto Rico's next big star until the rise of Miguel Cotto, which was preceded by his embarrassing loss to Antonio Margarito. Since the loss to Margo, Cintron has seemed to polish his skill level which could have alot to do with bringing Emanuel Stewart On board. His power was always there, (25KO's in 28 fights), so now if he can hone in on his other skills, he could be well on his way to the top echelon of our Elite 8. A scheduled matchup with Shane Mosley would have been a great gauge of his current ability, but since it fell through, we'll have to wait and see what he does next.
Skills Challenge: Cintron vs Clottey (See #2)
4. Paul Williams: 32-0, (24KO)
A total freak of nature. There's probably not one physical advantage that this guy doesn't possess over an opponent. An 82 inch reach, a southpaw stance, and stands two inches over 6 feet tall. What more could you ask from a young welterweight? Good question, but an easy one to answer. EXPERIENCE. It's far too early to say if he's the real deal or a fraud but with Walter Matthysse being the best (as far as records go) fighter that he's fought, and a bunch of has-beens and tomato can's prior to that, his upcoming matchup against Margo should tell us all we need to know. Of all the lower tiered fighters in this Elite 8, Williams could be the diamond in the rough, but only time will tell.
Skills Challenge: Williams vs Cotto. {There are probably better matchups for both but this challenge would test both men in areas they've never been tested before. How would Cotto handle a linky slugger that could get to him at will, and how would Williams handle a body banger that refuses to go backwards)?
5. Antonio Margarito: 34-4 (24KO)
This fighter is probably one of the more intriguing in the division. Watching him in his early days, the only thought to come to mind was WOW!!! He displayed power, skill, and a chin of granite. Recently however, the chin appears to be still sturdy, the power is still there, but the traps, the jab, and his skill level in general have seemed to vanish a bit. A perfect example of this was when he destroyed Kermit Cintron, only to turn around and barely escape an injured Joshua Clottey in a decision most felt was made of poor judgment in his biggest television stage yet. He has the ability to 'pull the curtains' on almost all of these Elite 8, but in order to be taken seriously he will have to completely destroy Paul Williams in their upcoming showdown in a way that removes the doubt from the minds of all of his fans as well as critics. If he has a weak performance and wins, he can't expect to see any big paydays any time soon. If he loses, he'll be well on his way to the land of Fernando Vargas' and Ricardo Mayorga's. Meaning he'll be cast as yet another fighter with great power but not enough skill to deal with the true greats of his era. An interesting stat to note going into his July 14th showdown with Paul Williams - Margarito has never won a professional fight in the month of July.
Skills Challenge: Margarito vs Cotto {Some would like to see him against Floyd Mayweather Jr., but I think the better matchup would be against Cotto. That would be a brawlers dream fight. You'd have two fighters that don't believe in fighting while going backwards. This would be a helluva collision}.
6. Shane Mosley: 44-4 (37KO)
Of all the Elite 8 fighters listed here, this one is easily the most battle tested. From a total package standpoint, even Floyd Mayweather Jr. would find himself entrenched in the midst of a tight race to finish ahead. Most thought Mosley was finished but after facing two guys who simply had his number, (Vernon Forrest/Winky Wright), he responded emphatically. Not only that, but he showed a great display of heart by immediately seeking rematches to avenge both losses - albeit in a losing fashion both times. Despite his age (35), Shane is still the creme of this crop. Many find age to be a loss of youthful progression but to a salty vet like Shane, age is an acronym, standing for: A - Greater - Experience. His ability paired with this experience easily puts him on pace to top any of these guys in the Elite 8, to include possibly Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Skills Challenge: Mosley vs Mayweather Jr. {Shane is similar to Floyd in speed but he has more of a knack to want to exchange and press the action which would force Floyd to fight more and pick his spots less. Shane's ability to want to exchange takes away from his defense which is why he was hit alot by much slower fighters like Winky Wright and Vernon Forrest. That would be his only undoing if any in an epic showdown with Floyd}.
7. Miguel Cotto: 30-0 (25KO)
Talented, tough, strong, and charges forward no matter what. Four attributes reminiscent of his island stablemate, a young Felix 'Tito' Trinidad. Similar to Tito, Cotto has managed to steal the hearts of not only his fans, but his opponents too. Just ask the flamboyant Zab Judah who thought going into their recent matchup that Cotto couldn't handle a fighter with his 'flash' and speed. Many, (myself included), saw Cotto as a sheltered question mark, but recently found out that he's actually more of an un-contained exclamation point. His worth as a fighter is now starting to be defined and his star will undoubtedly continue to rise. Granted, Zab is no Floyd, but Mayweather aside, I don't know many other fighters in this Elite 8 that would truly give him a run for his money. After beating Zab, I guess it's safe to say he's graduated to the higher echelon of contenders so we'll soon find out how high his 'elevator' goes.
Skills Challenge: Cotto vs Mosley {I would most like to see he and Floyd get busy, but from an action standpoint, Shane would be his best challenge. Shane poses the the bigger challenge to Cotto as his speed and power would be more than Cotto's ever seen from one opponent}.
8. Floyd Mayweather Jr.: 38-0 (24)
This fighter here, at least as it stands now, is at the top of the mountain. Speed, defense, reflexes, foot work, and an uncanny ring intelligence; This is the Elite 8's version of Billy 'The Kid', shooting with dead-on accuracy and a very innate ability to make it his fight, not be coaxed into fighting someone else's. Basically a total package. No one can question his skill, but his business-man type mentality has led many to question his heart. Every man in this Elite 8 has put his name in the hat, hoping to get picked in the 'chance to fight Floyd' sweepstakes and the unfortunate thing is that not one of them have been successful. Mosley or Cotto should get first crack at it, but for different reasons (depending on who you ask), retirement may catch Mayweather first. Floyd says he's done, but recently his Uncle and Trainer, Roger Mayweather stated that Floyd will be back in the ring for sure come November. Hopefully what Roger said was true. I just hope that it's not as a promoter like Floyd has stated it will be.
Skills Challenge: Floyd vs Mosley {Cotto would be a good fight but Floyd's already fought a fighter like him in Castillo. Margarito is a good fighter but hasn't shown me enough on the big stage. The other guys simply aren't as proven or worthy at this point in their careers. Mosley on the other hand matches Floyd in everything but defense}.
To wrap this all up, it's safe to say that the welterweight division has solidified itself as the perennial weight class in the sport of Boxing for the next few years to come and each of these guys mentioned will play a major role in what ever those headlines read. There are a few other fighters who could also enter these ranks as Ricky Hatton and a couple others contemplate a jump north in weight. Falling from our Elite group was Zab Judah who finds himself on the outside doorstep looking in at the #9 spot. Prior to that fight he was listed as #8, but in a grand numerical fashion, our #7 ate #9 - (Cotto defeated Zab) - (no pun intended). Carlos Baldomir would have rounded out the top 10. So in closing, now that this article is finished, let the debates, and hopefully the great matchups begin.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Russ Wasendorf Sr. duped customers, regulators and his colleagues as he pulled off a 20-year, $100 million fraud at his Iowa-based brokerage. The state's tax collectors say he and his ex-wife also duped them, and that the former couple owes Iowa more than $14.1 million in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties.
The Iowa Department of Revenue filed an assessment in November against Russ and Connie Wasendorf, alleging they underreported their taxable income between 2001 and 2009 by about $75 million and dodged $6.6 million in taxes as a result, according to court records released this week.
Wasendorf is in jail awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to misusing more than $100 million in funds that customers invested with his now-bankrupt brokerage, Peregrine Financial Group. He was arrested last year after attempting suicide in his car outside the company's headquarters in Cedar Falls and left a note confessing to a scheme in which he misused customer funds to support his financial empire and created phony documents to cover his tracks.
The details of Wasendorf's tax liability were made public in a filing in federal court in Chicago by a receiver that is in the process of liquidating Wasendorf's far-flung personal and business assets to reimburse his victims. The assessment alleges that the Wasendorfs underreported their income by about $8.3 million per year.
U.S. District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer granted the receiver's request Friday to suspend any efforts by the department to enforce the assessment rather than litigate the issue now. The revenue department had agreed to the court order, which puts the process on hold until further notice by Pallmeyer. The order "preserves all rights the department and State of Iowa may have with respect to assessing and collecting any amounts lawfully due."

Arrack contractors owe State Rs. 712 crore
Three amendments to the Karnataka Panchayat Raj Act approved
Interest waiver scheme for Ashraya housing scheme beneficiaries
Bangalore: The State Government has announced several incentives, including waiver of interest, to motivate defaulters to pay their dues to the authorities in the Excise and Commercial Taxes sector.
Briefing presspersons after a meeting of the State Cabinet here on Monday, Minister for Home V.S. Acharya and the Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs S. Suresh Kumar said the Government was keen on maintaining a clean track record in the Excise and Sales Tax receipts, and towards this end has come forward with a Karsamadhan scheme — to provide incentives to defaulters and thus ensure that they clear their dues to the Government.
The Karsamadhan scheme for the Excise sector is for the dues to be received prior to the total ban on the manufacture and sale of arrack (July one, 2005). Of a total of Rs 712.72 crore due to the Government from the arrack and toddy contractors, Rs. 251.35 crore constitutes the principal amount and Rs. 461.47 crores is the interest thereon. Under the scheme announced on Monday, for those who pay the principal amount due from them within a period of three years, the interest thereon will be waived. Further, they can pay the principal amount in three instalments within the stipulated three months.
Similar is the scheme for the commercial taxes sector which is prior to the introduction of the value addition tax (VAT) regime in April 2005 . The total sales tax due to the Government is Rs. 498 crore and under the scheme the defaulters can clear the dues with the payment of a ten per cent interest on the principal amount. This scheme will be in operation until December 31.
Veterinary college
Dr. Acharya said the Cabinet also approved the starting of a Veterinary college at Athani in Belgaum district and four horticultural colleges at Mysore, Hiriyur, Sirsi and Koppal. All these colleges will commence functioning from the next academic year starting in June and will have all the requisite facilities in about three years.
In yet another important decision, the Cabinet gave its approval for three amendments to the Karnataka Panchayat Raj Act of 1993, which includes enhancing the reservation set apart for women from 33 per cent to 50 per cent in taluk and the zilla panchayats. The other amendments relate to usage of electronic voting machines in panchayat elections and appointment of panchayat development officers.
The other decisions include setting up of a Mango Development Board with a grant of Rs. 10 crore, Vajapayee Housing Scheme for the poor to provide 50,000 sites of 20-foot by 30-foot dimension for the urban poor in the current year, an interest waiver scheme for Ashraya housing scheme beneficiaries who clear their principal loan due (the total due from 10.63 lakh beneficiaries is Rs. 1,453 crore and the interest due on this is Rs. 963 crore).

A bill which seeks to ensure a safe environment for women at work place has been referred to a parliamentary panel for further scrutiny.
The Protection of Women Against Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill, 2010 was introduced in the Lok Sabha during the winter session in December.
The bill has now been referred to t he parliamentary standing committee on human resource development for a deeper "examination".
The committee, headed by Congress MP Oscar Fernandes, has sought opinion of various stakeholders, including the common man to fine tune the proposed legislation.
The move comes against the backdrop of the National Advisory Council (NAC) headed by Sonia Gandhi suggesting to bring domestic workers under the purview of a proposed law for protection of women against sexual harassment at workplace.
Voicing concern over the exclusion of domestic workers from the purview of the bill, the NAC sought amendments to certain clauses of the draft legislation.
The government contended that as domestic workers were in the non-formal sector, it was difficult to bring them within the scope of the bill.
The NAC also decided to ask the government to drop a clause in the bill that they felt could prevent women from coming forward to seek protection against sexual harassment at workplace.
"The safeguards provided to them (women) by this bill are weakened by the inclusion of clause 14 (punishment for false or malicious complaint and false evidence), which might deter victims from seeking protection of the proposed legislation," the NAC said in a statement a few days ago.
The bill proposes a definition of sexual harassment, which is as laid down by the Supreme Court in a 1997 case.
It recognises the promise or threat to a woman's employment prospects or creation of hostile work environment as 'sexual harassment' at workplace and expressly seeks to prohibit such acts.
The proposed legislation also provides protection not only to women who are employed but also to any woman who enters the workplace as a client, customer, apprentice, and daily wage worker or in ad-hoc capacity. Students, research scholars in colleges and universities and patients in hospitals have also been covered.

Starbucks will soon be taking over the coffee aisle at your local grocery store with their new kiosks. The coffee brand will be introducing "Signature Aisles" to grocery stores across America.
The kiosk makes shoppers feel as though they have entered a Starbucks shop, using the same warm colors and noticeable logo. The aisles are stocked with Starbucks' packaged coffee, Via products and signature products like the Blonde Roast, and K-Cups.
"Over the next year or so, we'll have an elevated aisle fixture in multiple retailers across more than 100 stores," Joe Manning, the director of channel development at Starbucks, told The Huffington Post.
Starbucks as already implemented the Signature Aisles in 25 stores, including Safeway, Vons and Dominick's. Most of these aisles are in Californian stores, with few in Washington, Illinois, Colorado and Ohio. The next is expected to be on the East Coast.

Manufacturing problem caused Ford Escape recall
More News from Associated Press
popular .
DETROIT— A manufacturing problem at a company that makes fuel lines forced Ford to recall thousands of its brand-new Escape small SUVs and tell owners to stop driving them right away.
Ford Motor Co. announced the recall Thursday, saying there was a risk of an engine fire.
In documents filed by Ford and posted Friday on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website, the company said fuel lines were "mechanically scored" or damaged on the outside during manufacturing. The lines, made by a TI Group Automotive Systems plant in Indiana, can split when pushed over a connector fitting, and leaking fuel could ignite.
The recall involved 11,500 Escapes. About 4,800 have been sold to customers; the rest are still on dealer lots.
Ford urged customers in the U.S. and Canada not to drive the SUVs and to contact dealers, who would pick up the Escape and drop off a loaner car. The problem affects only 2013 Escapes equipped with 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engines.
TI Automotive spokesman Frank Buscemi said in an email that the company is "working with Ford to identify root cause and resolve the issue."
The problem was discovered June 9 when a newly built Escape caught fire while a Ford worker was driving it from the Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky to a holding lot for shipping, the documents said. After two more fires — one on June 18 involving an Escape being driven by a customer in Canada — Ford engineers determined that the problem involved the engine compartment fuel line.
The company approved the recall on July 16, according to the documents.
No one was hurt in any of the three fires, the documents said.
"Vehicles are not to be driven until this repair has been completed," Ford said in a letter dated Thursday telling dealers how to handle the problem. The warning not to drive the Escapes was in all caps and red ink. The company is telling dealers to tow the Escapes in for service.
It took 40 days from the first fire until the SUVs were recalled. Ford said Thursday it moved quickly to keep its customers safe. Ford hopes to have the repairs completed within two weeks.
This was the second recall of the new Escape in less than a week. Ford is recalling more than 10,000 Escapes to fix carpet padding that could interfere with braking. The Escape was the nation's top-selling SUV in June and is one of Ford's most popular vehicles
Problems often crop up when new vehicles are introduced, even though automakers have improved quality in recent years.

The Grey Robust material looked like my best bet but it appears to be discontinued. Stainless steel would likely work okay, but it's a good deal heavier than I'd like. The coloured WSF materials are interesting, but the notes about absorbing pollution and yellowing over time have me worried a bit. As such, I was hoping to get some feedback as to how well these materials can hold up under those circumstances and/or if anything can be done to toughen them up on my end? Right now I'm just looking at something simple like this but with rigid mounting arms rather than the velcro. Down the road, there are a few more complicated parts (eg faired storage that mesh with aerofoil tube sections) that I'd like to play around with. What I'd really like would be a food-safe plastic material so I could make my own bottles/tubing but for the time being I'll stick to parts that can better work with existing systems. Either way, I love the idea of this stuff and just have to find a way to make it work for me ]]> rbn 2012-01-22T22:48:40-00:00

Safety Baratti to have season-ending shoulder surgery
Aug 12, 2013, 1:16 AM EDT
A crowded race for playing time at the safety position might be light one of leading contenders for the job. Sophomore safety Nicky Baratti could be done for the season, reportedly reinjuring a shoulder injury that required offseason surgery. A year after playing in all 13 games last season, multiple reports, first uncovered by IrishIllustrated.com, have Baratti's season finished before even getting started.
Notre Dame hasn't officially commented on the injury, with the team taking the weekend off. But Irish Illustrated cites a Facebook post from Baratti's father Clarke, who revealed his son would be out for the '13 season.
If the injury does keep the Texas native off the field for the season, it'll allow Baratti to save a year of eligibility. After multiple seasons of limited depth at safety, Baratti's injury is at a position where there's actual depth to spare — with the race to play next to incumbent starter Mattias Farley featuring frontrunners like Elijah Shumate, Austin Collinsworth, Max Redfield and Eilar Hardy.
A converted high school quarterback, Baratti quickly worked his way into the rotation in the secondary as a freshman, coming up with a critical interception against Michigan last season while contributing on special teams as well.
Brian Kelly will likely update us on Baratti's status tomorrow after practice, but those searching for clues could look to the sophomore's Twitter account, where he recently posted, "Everything happens for a reason."
MONDAY UPDATE — Head coach Brian Kelly confirmed after practice that Baratti dislocated his shoulder during practice and will have season ending surgery.

- irishaggie - Aug 12, 2013 at 8:13 AM
Tough break for this guy. He may save a year of eligibility but he was going to be a big special teams contributor and was a solid back up. We've actually had very few injuries so far I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
- yaketyyacc - Aug 12, 2013 at 12:30 PM
nude, that's what Frank Leahy said at a pep rally when I was a student. 110% and the Irish would achieve success. thak for jogging the old memory.
- nudeman - Aug 12, 2013 at 12:52 PM
No disrespect to Frank who I loved, but that is one nauseatingly insipid piece of drivel athletes spew when interviewed.
Some others:
– "I just want to win". Translation: "If we win, that's cool, but mostly I need a 5 year no cut extension"
– "We're just taking this one game at a time". Translation: "Have you seen our schedule? We have no fucking chance"
– "If we stay focused and disciplined, I like our chances". Translation: "We have no goddamn focus or discipline"
– "To tell you the truth …" Translation: "Here comes a whopper"
– "I got no comment on that". Translation: "Let's meet for a beer after the game and I'll tell you what an asshole everyone on this team is"
– "It's not about money, it's about respect". "It's 100% about money"
– "We need to bring our 'A" game". Translation: "We haven't brought our A game all year, so why now?"
– "I have NEVER used PEDs". Translation: "Can I borrow some of your urine?"
– "I want to stay with this team the rest of my career" Translation: "Get me the fuck out of here"
– "I'm retiring to spend more time with my family". Translation: "My mistress dumped me and I hit .198 last year"

All's cool DC
Thanks for askin' though
- bernhtp - Aug 12, 2013 at 2:39 PM
I share Nude's recent cynicism and disdain for 110% etc. It probably comes from boredom.

- shawtiernan - Aug 13, 2013 at 5:11 AM
The only one I truly hate is the "I just want to thank god" after every win. God has nothing to do with wins or losses or your performance in said game. Not like you hear a bunch of guys in the losing locker room the next week lining up to thank god. To me it's a ridiculous ritual guys do purely for ego purposes, and the few guys that do believe it are even worse. How delusional do you have to be to actually believe god influenced the outcome of any particular game? As a Christian it just rubs me the wrong way for some reason.

Sure, she might send the accidental sexy pic to her in-laws, but she's also got the right idea when it comes to maintaining the spark in a relationship.
While she was visiting Watch What Happens Live Monday night, host Andy Cohen divulged something Ripa had told him in private. That is, because she and her husband, actor Mark Consuelos, have been together 18 years, they have to really go the extra mile to keep things interesting.

Kelly Ripa on Marriage to Mark Conseulos: It's Fine to Fight Sometimes
Originally posted 04/03/2013 03:15PM
After nearly 17 years of happy marriage to Mark Consuelos, one thing can still really set off Kelly Ripa.
"I am openly hostile when Mark leaves the toilet seat up," Ripa, 42, told PEOPLE Tuesday at a private dinner in New York to honor her pal, Bravo star Andy Cohen, and his partnership with the retail site Gilt Man. "I don't think you get past the little pet peeves."
"Mark never puts the toilet seat back down, and it irritates me," she continued. "We still fight about it. But it's OK to fight about things. We're secure with each other. I don't feel like if we have an argument, it will be the end of our lives."

Daytime TV's favorite husband just got a little scarier.
Former All My Children star (and Kelly Ripa's doting husband), Mark Consuelos has joined the cast of FX's American Horror Story for season 2, EW.com reports.
Consuelos will play Spivey, a patient admitted to an institution for the criminally insane in the 1960s.
Jessica Lange (who won a Golden Globe for her role as Constance Langdon in the show's debut season), James Cromwell, Joseph Fiennes, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe, Zachary Quinto, Adam Levine, Chloë Sevigny and Lizzie Brochere also are all slated to appear on season 2 of the series.

Regis Philbin has greeted viewers nearly every weekday morning for the past 28 years, but with his final show only months away, the question still remains: Who will rise to the occasion and take over for TV's veteran talker?
American Idol and radio show host Ryan Seacrest, 36, Bravo personality and exec Andy Cohen, 43, and actor (oh, and Kelly Ripa's husband) Mark Consuelos, 40, are said to be Disney-ABC's top three picks to fill Philbin's shoes when he leaves Live! with Regis and Kelly in November, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Kelly Ripa Loves Date Night and 'a Little Bump and Tickle'

Sounds like Julianne Moore needs to chat with Kelly Ripa about the wonders of date night.
While Moore finds such evenings all but impossible to schedule, Ripa tells Good Housekeeping that quality time with husband Mark Consuelos isn't optional – and often leads to a little hanky-panky.
"Sometimes we'll put the kids to bed early and watch Jersey Shore on DVR," Ripa says in the magazine's November issue. "It can be that simple, just the two of us, alone, one day a week, for dinner and hijinks … a little bump and tickle. Woo-hoo! I'm 40. I can say that now."

Air Force pilot may have taken earliest colour photo of Everest in 1965
Soon after the first Indian conquest of Mount Everest led by Captain M. S. Kohli in 1965, the Indian Air Force organised a photo-op for journalists. But of the entire planeload of photographers who were flown to the world's tallest mountain peak, the only clear images came from the camera of the pilot, an amateur photographer.
Well over 45 years later now it transpires that those might well be the earliest aerial colour photographs of Everest.
Kolkata-born Squadron Leader R. K. Basu, an octogenarian today, has vivid memories of the sortie when he flew the Russian AN 12 aircraft with nearly 50 photographers on board. Even as he clicked several pictures from the cockpit, refraction through the thick aircraft windows posed quite a challenge for the photographers and none of them was able to capture any clear images.
On his London-based son's request, Squadron Leader Basu recently handed over his original slides to the Royal Geographical Society in London. It was then that he was informed that these might well be the earliest aerial colour photographs of the peak.
"The Royal Geographical Society maintains a record of all the images taken of the peak in various periods. They told me that they were not aware of any older aerial colour pictures of Mount Everest taken from the air," Squadron Leader Basu told The Hindu over telephone from his residence in Mumbai.
While aerial photographs are usually taken from mechanised cameras that come outside the plane and gain a direct view, all the photographs on that day were taken from hand-held cameras and from inside the aircraft. Another challenge while photographing from the inside is the bulging windows that cause further distortions, he said.
"I had developed a technique to hold the camera at an angle to the glass of the window to counter the effects of refraction. I also had a further advantage. Since I was the pilot, I could tilt the aircraft and frame the picture accordingly," he added.
Squadron Leader Basu had taken the pictures as part of his hobby, but he also had an immediate task at hand. Flying at an altitude of 10,000 feet above sea level, there were several restrictions he had to bear in mind. "I had to ensure that we never ventured closer than one mile of the peak. The vibrations and noise from the aircraft could have triggered an avalanche while the mountaineers were still there in one of the lower base camps. We also had to make sure that we did not enter Tibetan territory," he said.
The images taken from a Contaflex camera with a 2.8 lens and a UV filter were kept in the Air Force archives and even used by Captain Kohli in his book on the famous expedition. He had also taken film clips from another camera.

Fires in the Yucatan and Central America
April 30, 2013
Fires on the Yucatan Peninsula cast a pall of smoke over the Gulf of Mexico on May 8, 2006, veiling its dark blue waters with a dingy white haze. The fires have been marked with red in this photo-like image, taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite. Although a dense cluster of fires on the eastern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula is producing a thick cloud of smoke, much of the haze appears to be coming from fires burning throughout southern Mexico and Central America. May is near the end of the region's dry season, when fires are common. People set many fires to clear land for agriculture, but some of the fires may be accidental or natural.

Attending school online has come a long way. Not too long ago, online classes only had the basic necessities required to pass a class: assignment list, announcements and drop box for completed work.

A main difference between online and traditional schooling can be the element of flexibility: you can customize your schedule to suit your lifestyle.... more
"Go back to school now? I don't think that is possible. There is no way I can fit school into my schedule." Does this sound like you or someone you know? If so, you are not alone. It's something college admissions counselors from Colorado Technical University hear from numerous spouses on a daily basis. Many spouses are dealing with similar concerns that could prevent them from starting their education: I'm raising kids alone while my ... more
When it comes to your college application essay, you probably are not going to write about the three months you spent "finding yourself" in the Seychelles. The value of your spring break trip through Patagonia seems equally doubtful. We're guessing you won't even be writing about the 107 cats you saved from that burning building last year. Why? Because that is not your life. The military is. And you want to know how to use your milita... more
If you have been a milspouse for more than a year, you have probably heard a lot of complaints about MyCAA, the Defense Department's tuition assistance tool for military spouses. The complaints are all true -- MyCAA offers less money than it used to.

Tianna Kirkland
Tianna Kirkland begins her third season as an assistant coach at the University of Illinois. Kirkland came to Illinois after serving five seasons as an assistant at the University of Michigan. She has been a key factor in helping Illinois sign back-to-back recruiting classes and also helped guide the Illini to their best record since 2007 in 2012-13.
"Tianna has a very bright future here," Bollant said. "She's a great recruiter. AAU coaches just think she is fantastic. Her contacts and her ability to get players will make a huge impact at Illinois. I love her heart for others, her desire to serve, her passion to go after things and her charismatic personality."
Kirkland helped land consecutive signing classes ranked in the top 25, including high school All-Americans Chatrice White and Amarah Coleman in November 2013. She also helped the Illini finish eighth in steals in the nation (11.0 per game) and 13th in turnover margin (+5.2 per game) in 2013-14, while breaking the school record for three-pointers made (202) for the second-straight season.
Kirkland had a big hand in recruiting at Michigan. In her five years under head coach Kevin Borseth, the Wolverines consistently improved culminating in a bid to the NCAA Tournament in 2012. That marked the fourth post-season berth in five years for Michigan, having been invited to the WNIT three of the previous four, reaching the semifinals in 2010.
Kirkland's Big Ten ties also include serving as an assistant at Eastern Michigan under current Michigan State head coach Suzy Merchant for the 2006-07 season. The Eagles were 16-13 overall, 10-6 in the Mid-American Conference that year. Kirkland had an emphasis on coaching post players at EMU as well as overseeing the team's academics, post-season workouts and strength and conditioning activities.
Kirkland has had two other stops to her coaching career, spending two seasons as an assistant coach at Butler University (2004-06) and two years as a graduate assistant at Central Michigan University (2002-04).
A native of Flint, Mich., Kirkland graduated from Ferris State University in 2002 with a bachelor's degree in applied biology. Kirkland was a four-year letterwinner in basketball while also lettering in track and field. She was team's leading scorer and rebounder in her final two seasons, helping the Bulldogs to a combined 74-37 record and the program's first-ever NCAA Division II Tournament appearance in 2000. Her number, 42, has been retired by the school.
As a senior, Kirkland averaged 15.2 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, earning Women's Basketball Bulletin third-team All-American accolades, as well being named the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Player of the Year. Kirkland was also selected to the All-Great Lakes Region and GLIAC All-Defense first teams in her final season. She finished her career as the school's 10th-leading scorer (926 points), third-leading rebounder (705) and fourth in career field-goal percentage (.540, 350-of-648). She also left FSU ranked in the top 10 for blocks (fifth, 40) and free throws made (ninth, 226).
In track & field, Kirkland earned NCAA Division II All-America honors in the indoor and outdoor shot put and the discus in her final season. A two-time co-captain, Kirkland is the school record holder in all three events.
Kirkland also played for two semi-professional teams, the Flint Flames and Flint Monarchs.

As a parent of two children attending Telscombe Cliffs Primary School, I express my full support for head teacher Andrew Kearsey in the action he took regarding Natasha Thoday.
While I have nothing personally against transsexuals, the resulting confusion and disruption generated by this person among the children did not create an atmosphere conducive to learning.
Additionally, I would not be happy about a teacher actively encouraging questions from children of this age regarding the subject of adult sexuality.
In my experience, Mr Kearsey is a conscientious, considerate, caring and respected teacher.
The action he took in dispensing with the services of Ms Thoday was taken in the best interests of the children.
-Mrs H Smith, Carey Down, Telscombe Cliffs

The Callaway Cavaliers, less than two weeks removed from a season-ending loss to Cartersville in the state quarterfinals, are back on the baseball field.
The summer season got under way on Tuesday, and Callaway's two teams will each play 20 games through June.
Callaway coach Dusty Hubbard said the summer is a great time to get a close look at certain players.
"If you have a kid you want to be able to see if he can pitch a little bit, or if you're thinking about a position change with guys, now's the time to do it," Hubbard said. "You don't worry so much about the result, it's about developing kids."
Callaway plays in a summer league along with Troup, Northside, Harris County, Heard and Brookstone.
Teams will play doubleheaders on Tuesdays and Thursdays through the end of June.
"The reason we all kind of started doing this is you have so many of them that play travel ball on the weekends," Hubbard said. "We put it together and said go play travel on the weekends, and do what you want to do with that, and know you're going to be here with us on Tuesdays and Thursdays."
Of Callaway's two teams, one will be made up primarily of guys expected to be on the varsity team next year, and the other team has players likely headed for the junior-varsity team.
Plans can change between now and the 2015 season, though.
"You always try to think ahead, but there are always a couple of kids that surprise you, a couple of kids that develop, and they're ready to play," Hubbard said. "It's great to find those kids."
Callaway is coming off a superb season.
The Cavaliers went 25-6, won a region championship, and won a pair of series in the state playoffs before meeting their match in Cartersville.
Callaway beat Cartersville 1-0 in the series opener, but it lost the next two games.
Cartersville went on to lose to Blessed Trinity in the championship series.

The TopView A2281Wd+ is most affordable 22in monitor from a new brand with plenty of heritage in the PC accessory market
TopView is a new brand of monitors to the UK, a sub-brand of Gigazone – best known in this country for its Gigabyte PC motherboards. But based on our first sample TopView deserves to become a more familiar name in the future.
The TopView A2281Wd+ sits at the higher end of the range, a classic 22in value design dressed in a shiny black plastic frame. Some monitors of this size now boast full-HD 1920x1080 resolution, but this model is one notch down at 1680x1050, a size that gives the slightly squarer 16:10 rather than 16:9 aspect ratio.
Priced at just £110, we shouldn't demand too much in features or even performance from the TopView A2281Wd+; yet with expectations managed, we were certainly impressed by the monitor's intrinsic image quality.
Like most monitor brands, TopView makes mendacious claims for contrast ratio, in this case 20,000:1. In actual use we were impressed by the brilliance of the whites and the darkness of blacks. Whereas many recent (and more expensive) screens are using white LED backlighting, this TopView A2281Wd+ uses traditional cold fluorescent lighting.
And it certainly is well lit, as well as very even. In fact we had to turn brightness levels to nearly 'zero' for comfortable screen reading. And note that at the zero setting, the panel does not go black. Colours were vivid but never lurid.
Reading text from the TopView A2281Wd+was made easy by the overall clarity though, with black text actually appearing as black rather than dark grey. And off-axis viewing angles were not at all bad for a twisted-nematic type panel.
Eco mode is TopView's greenwash name for various preset picture settings, including Internet, Game and Movie mode. We set the screen to a comfortable level of brightness for PC work, where it consumed 25W electricity. Change this to Sports mode, for instance, and watch the brightness increase dramatically; power consumption in our tests rose here to around 35W.
Overall build quality of the TopView A2281Wd+ is quite satisfactory for the price, and we find the usual non-height adjustable stand, but with a modicum of tilt available. Picture adjustments are made through a row of five stiff plasticky buttons under the bezel. Monitor connection options are either DVI or D-Sub VGA. There are no built-in speakers.
The TopView A2281Wd+'s on-screen display menus are somewhat crude looking but functional. There you'll find adjustments for such features as colour temperature, brightness and contrast. A 'color boost' function lists effects such as Nature Skin, Green Field and Sky-blue, but we preferred to fine-tune image through the other options.
'Demo mode' here can be useful though, as it gives a split-screen effect to preview before and after processing.

I like this idea but I wouldn't turn the jeans inside-out for the seam at the hem. I'd stitch the leg shut following over the existing top-stitching. I'd also repurpose at least one of the hip pockets so there's a place to put things you need quick access to on the outside and stitch one to the inside for quick access items that you want to carry more securely.
