The Bundle Album $8 Bonus
The bundle bonus album is from Dubmood. It's the recently released Lost Floppies Vol 2. Beat the $8 price to get this bonus album.

You can find more information on The Prairie Dog Bundle, including real-time statistics and its current price, on its official website or via its Facebook, Twitter and Google+ pages. As ever, the bundle is cheaper the sooner that you purchase its (unless, of course, some kind purchaser opts to lower the price for others) although there is tremendous value here whatever price you pay.
Thanks for Retrovirus! Had eye on it for long time already!
The MP3 download link for my bonus album doesn't work :(
Comments are so quiet when the bundles are good...
This bundle is great! Thank you for not putting any steam-only games in this bundle. I'm especially happy with Signal Ops. I'm looking forward to seeing what the mystery game is.

Mr. Jeffrey Lund
This explanatory research project evaluates the impact of
Hopwood v. the State of Texas on minority enrollment at the
University of Texas at Austin. Hopwood challenged the race-based
preferential admissions policies used at the University of Texas at
Austin. The successful challenge resulted in changes in admissions
policy and legislation that attempted to mitigate the damaging
effects the ruling would have on minority enrollment. This research
evaluates changes in trends in minority enrollment at the
University of Texas at Austin in selected academic disciplines and
the relationship between Hopwood and minority enrollment. The
research hypothesis states that Hopwood will have a negative impact
on minority enrollment in each academic discipline. An interrupted
time series design is used to test the hypotheses. The data
collected consist of the percentage of Black and Hispanic student
enrollment each semester. The findings suggest that Hopwood had an
overall negative impact on minority enrollment at the University of
Texas at Austin. In addition, policies enacted in response to
Hopwood may not be successful in maintaining minority enrollment
rates that existed before Hopwood.

- The Transportation Security Administration is hoping to buy Apple products. The agency's wish list includes iPads, iPhones and Apple TVs. TSA has a lot of Microsoft and Blackberry products but said it needs to buy Apple to help meet a public-driven need for more mobility. The agency is planning multiple contracts that could be worth $3 million over three years. (TSA)
- President Barack Obama has moved quickly to replace Gregory Jaczko as chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. He nominated Allison Mcfarlane to the Senate-confirmed position. Mcfarlane is an associate professor of environmental science at George Mason University. In 2006, she wrote a book critical of the government's plans to store nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain, Nev. That plan was killed by Jaczko's NRC. He resigned amid allegations of an abusive management style. But Jaczko said he would leave only when a successor was confirmed. (Federal News Radio)
- Jeff Neely, the General Services Administration regional commissioner behind the infamous Las Vegas conference, has left the agency. Neely, the Public Buildings Service Commissioner for Region 9, was on administrative leave. An agency spokesman confirmed he was no longer employed there. Neely was at the heart of a scandal that forced the resignation of GSA administrator Martha Johnson in April. It followed revelations of a nearly $1 million conference in 2010. Neely had told his minions to make the event over the top. The spending later came to light in a report from GSA's inspector general. (Federal News Radio)
- The president nominated a new leader for the Office of Government Ethcis. Walter Shaub will take the director's chair, if the Senate confirms him. He has been OGE's deputy general counsel since 2008. Earlier, the White House said Shaub worked at Shaw, Bransford, Veilleux and Roth, where he focused on federal employment law. He's also worked in legal jobs at Veterans Affairs and Health and Human Services. (White House)
- The Digital Government strategy released by the White House this week was a grassroots effort led by agency CIOs. Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel said it was not a top-down fiat. He told Federal News Radio, the strategy was formed initially during an offsite meeting last winter. Ideas from that session also found their way into other IT policies, including the shared services strategy. VanRoekel said the CIO community is rallying behind the Digital Government strategy. He said OMB also included acquisition and finance people in forming the strategies. (Federal News Radio)
- The Justice Department is accusing two of its prosecutors of reckless professional misconduct. DoJ said Joseph Bottini and James Goeke failed to disclose information favorable to the defendant, in the bungled corruption case against the late Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska). But the department said it wasn't intentional. Stevens had been convicted of lying on Senate financial disclosure documents about home renovations and gifts from wealthy friends. A judge overturned that conviction in 2009, after the Justice Department admitted misconduct. Stevens died in a plane crash three years ago. An internal DoJ watchdog said the managers should suspend the prosecutors without pay. (Federal News Radio)

Proposed takeover last year would have netted $3B more
ICE was established in May 2000. Its founding shareholders represented some of the world's largest energy companies and financial institutions, according to the company's most recent annual report.
Its stated mission was to transform the energy futures market by providing more transparency. The company has expanded through acquisitions during the past decade and went public — on the NYSE — in November 2005.
Analysts forecast that ICE's revenue will reach $1.4 billion this year, more than double the $574 million it reported in 2007.
"We believe the combined company will be better positioned to compete and serve customers across a broad range of asset classes by uniting our global brands, expertise and infrastructure," said ICE Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Sprecher.
Sprecher will keep his positions. Four members of the NYSE board will be added to ICE's board, expanding it to 15 members.
For each share of NYSE Euronext stock that they own, shareholders can choose either $33.12 in cash, about a quarter-share of ICE, or a combination of $11.27 in cash and about one-sixth of a share of ICE.
NYSE's stock jumped $8.20, or 34 percent, to $32.25 in heavy trading shortly after the market opened. ICE's stock closed up $1.79, or 1.4 percent, at $130.1 after falling at the open of trading.
ICE plans to pay for the cash part of the acquisition with a combination of cash and existing debt.
The deal has been approved by the boards of both companies, but still needs the approvals by regulators and shareholders of both companies. It's expected to close in the second half of next year.

Mexico and Central America Ride Planning and Road Wisdom
View Single Post
Jeff Munn
Just along for the ride..
Joined: Nov 2003
Location: Petersburg, Virginia
Oddometer: 2,155
Part Four: Special Notes by Country
(US$1=about 10 pesos) Mexican is a particularly unique country. You need to get it right up front or it gets expensive later.
Mexico is one of the few countries that do not rigidly control their borders, at the physical location of the border. (Along the US border is the 20 miles economic zone where you do not even need to do any administrative paperwork at all to visit.) But once you are about 20 miles into the country, you will hit the checkpoints. If you havent properly done Immigration and Customs before being stopped there, then you get hammered.
I will offer this advice, even though it may not be completely legal. You can decide if you wish to follow it. Legally, you must export yourself and your vehicle when departing Mexico. However, if you are enroute to Panama, and plan on returning to the USA thru Mexico, you can avoid having to pay the visa and vehicle import fee twice, using this technique. We failed to do this and it doubled our fees for crossing Mexico. Pilot showed us this technique, and had no problems.
When you enter Mexico, you must specify how long you will be in Mexico. You visa will be annotated with this number of days. So will your vehicle import paper work. You do not tell them you are transiting in a week and then coming back, or they may give you a 7-day visa to transit. A 7-day visa costs the same as a 180-day visa.
You want your visa issued for a period to cover both your entry into Mexico, your eventual return from Central America, and exit from Mexico back into the USA. This means you should tell the officer that you are entering Mexico for six months of vacation and touring. Your vehicle importation paperwork should be for the same six month period. Then, when you depart Mexico and head south, you simply DO NOT stop at the border and out process. Carefully store all your Mexican documentation in a safe place. Several weeks later, when you return from your trip, you simply ride thru the border into Mexico and keep going. When you are stopped and have your documents checked, do not mention that you have been out of the country. If you are still within the valid dates on your visa and vehicle import paperwork, you should not have an issue unless they see the stamps in your passport that youve been outside the country. Then you might have some explaining to do . Only you can decide if this technique is worth the several hours of border work and approximately $60 it will save you in fees. I know what Im going to do the next time I go back. I will always tell them I am vacationing for the 180 days.
The other unique issue is that your tourist fee must be paid at a Mexico Bank, sometime during your stay, and prior to departing. These banks ARE NOT at the border, so make sure you find one, pay the fee and get the appropriate stamped documents before you head to the border to depart Mexico for the last time.
Now for your vehicle importation. Remember the Vehicle registration validity period is tied to the visa period. You will have to pay the vehicle importation fee to a special Banjercito that will probably be several miles from the actual border (remember that free trade zone?). On departure, you MUST remember to find the Banjercito office at the ADUANA that will out process you. They will take back your vehicle importation sticker (the one you placed on your fairing), annotate in the computer that you have exported your vehicle, and give you a receipt that shows you have exported your vehicle from Mexico. Put this documentation somewhere on the bike for the next time you visit Mexico. If for some reason their computers tell them you failed to do the proper paperwork on your last visit, you can pull it out and prove to them you did.
The important thing to remember is that Mexico will NOT stop you from exiting at any border. There is no mandatory checkpoint to depart the country. So if you do not take the time and effort to stop and do these procedures, you will be fined eventually, and refused entry to Mexico the next time you try to go there. It is all your responsibility to do the required documentation on entry and exit.
(US$1=about 7 Quetzal ) Avoid the main crossing points. We liked La Mesilla to and from Mexico. Fees total about $15 to enter Guatemala.
El Salvador:
(US$1) The US dollar is official currency of El Salvador as of 2001. Just like Panama, we used US dollars the entire time we were there. All prices are in US dollars. El Salvador has a special visa which is valid for 48 hours, if you are in transit. The transit visa is FREE if you stay less than 48 hours in the country. If you stay longer you have to pay a fee. Ask for it if you are just zipping through. El Salvador is quite efficient, and the roads are great.
(US$1=about 17 Lempira ) Honduras takes all the prizes for imaginative bureaucratic complexity. You get fumigated, have to pay a customs fee ($32 in local currency) this fee is payable at a special bank office (if it is open) which requires you to go to that additional office and you must pay another fee to the Ministry of Transport ($10 in either $ or local currency) at yet another site. The special bank branch does not do foreign exchange but they require local currency to pay the fee. Thus either you got currency in advance or you buy it from the money changers. That is right. No nearby bank in the border zone. And then the copies!! Read below about copies.
(US$1=about 14 Cordoba ) Ensure you get the liability insurance document valid for long enough to cover your return, but do not mention that fact to the border officials. 30 Days costs US$12. The insurance sales people are usually young women with clipboards, who are standing alongside the road a few hundred meters past the border. If you miss them, there will most likely be a police checkpoint 2 miles down the road where they will stop you and demand to see the insurance document. If you didnt get it before, they will sell one to you on the spot.
Costa Rica:
(US$1=about 377 Colon ) US dollars acceptable at some upscale places, ATMS give choice of dollars or Colons, but Id suggest getting colons because you get a better rate) Of note, CR has a very good relationship with Panama. Because of this, when you depart CR, they have an option to hold your vehicle importation paperwork at the Aduana. Then, when you return from Panama you simply pick it back up. This saves a lot of time and effort at the border. If you are going to continue on to South America, you will still have to export your vehicle from CR. CR also has liability insurance you buy at the border.
(US$1= 1 Balboa) Their currency is linked to the US dollar and US paper money is used, but there are some Panamanian coins) Panama has a tourist office separate from customs and immigration but nearby where you need to purchase a tourist card for $5. Also there is a small municipal tax. Panama crossings are a breeze.
Ride to challenge yourself and to expand your horizons. But be warned, once you've ridden beyond the U.S. border, you might begin to realize that the world doesn't revolve around us......

Lot of truth here but who says the world economy needs to go one way. Sure there will be some advantages but we will lose innovations that will never be explored. Countries will continue trade with each other, so I just don't see the loss very well.
"Why can't everyone just follow the path that only benefits me?!"
My way or the high way.
Just means we will reach the point of no return that much faster. And the costs of trying to fix it will be of a much higher cost than stopping the use of all fossil fuels and moving to carbon neutral ones.
The Khaleej Times (English translation, the Gulf Times) is published in the UAE, a major oil exporter that spent billions on a solar city that uses no fossil fuels.
Which makes sense. The less oil they need, the more they can sell to the West!
But we need to go to zero and that won't be happening for maybe 50 years maybe 100.

Hello, I want to know more details, why Myway wordpress theme ( presentation url : http://test.mythem.es/myWay1/ ), has not been approved for sale on ThemeForest. I want to make changes but do not know what. Message sent by you is just like last time, whether we add more features. I understand that you try to follow certain quality standards, but please understand me. This is my first item, I received two rejections. Now I'm really confused, please, if you can make a specification that should change, maybe not right functional or presentation is not ok, or can be a different concept and / or another design. Me and my team myThemes, wants very much to work with ThemeForest, you do a fantastic job. We want to get involved and make beautiful things. But we need a little push to start. Good day, thank you.
The theme looks great for me. Do they give any reason? well rejection is normal, it will forge you to be a better designer..
btw how do you that color picker on the frontpage?
Not bad, I see the potential of this template. I think you need to fix your typography and spacing to be more consistent (some texts are too crowded, try increasing the line height). Also, the 'Buy Now' button at the slider image doesn't seem to fit the overall design style well, I think you should change it to something else.
Maybe you should try asking the reviewer for more information. My first item was rejected 4-5 times before it was approved, so don't give up easily
Good luck!

Revealing the Old Man in the Sun
June 19, 2012
When one moves through 11 SDO images taken at the same time, shown in order from the lowest temperature material being imaged to the highest, a funny thing happens: the features of a face in the Sun begin to appear. The movie underscores the fact that images taken at different wavelengths do reveal different features. The images also start at the Sun's surface and gradually move out to the Sun's upper corona.

High-altitude help from extinct ancestors
Gene mutation passed on from long-extinct Neandertal 'cousins' seems to help modern Tibetans survive at high altitudes
By Stephen Ornes, 13:11 PM July 24, 2014
Tibet has been called the "roof of the world." It's a vast region in southwest China that sits on the highest plateau on Earth. It's cold and dry. What's more, its air has 40 percent less oxygen than does the air at sea level. That should make it difficult for people to live there. But Tibetans comfortably survive such extreme conditions. And it's due in part to an ancient genetic gift from their ancestors. These were amazingly ancient ancestors, a new study finds. Those long-extinct folk wer...

Pinned topic Omnifind 9.1 search brings only links with "myportal"
Im dealing with WebSphere Portal 7 with WCM, and I have omnifind 9.1 to configure.
Now, I used the seedlist of the "WebSphere Portal" and also the "Web Content Management", for both the crawler brings fewer documents than expected. However, when i test the search i notice the results links are all came with context "/wps/myportal". the portal is available for public users, so most of the portal pages security been set to "anonymous user", and the home page address is like "/wps/portal/home".
What is the best practice to configure the omnifind to bring all the available pages, so the search result will include the public links (of context "/wps/portal").
Thank You

Re: Omnifind 9.1 search brings only links with "myportal"2013-02-12T09:26:58Z in response to SystemAdminHello,
Any answer, guys?
Re: Omnifind 9.1 search brings only links with "myportal"2013-02-14T09:17:19Z in response to SystemAdminI have a somewhat similar concern... the links we are obtaining from WCM lack '/wps/mypoc/...'. Whenever we click the search results from WCM, we get an error page. Adding the quoted string above fixes the link.
The link begins with '?urile=wcm:path ...'
We did not apply changes to the WCM crawler and it used to work before. Any idea what we should tweak?

Re: Omnifind 9.1 search brings only links with "myportal"2013-02-14T18:20:41Z in response to jgtiojanco@jgtiojanco If it was working before and just stopped working, were there any changes made on the WCM side like an new fixpack or anything? Can you share the versions of what you are working with on both sides?
bfoyle 060001WDQ329 PostsACCEPTED ANSWER
Re: Omnifind 9.1 search brings only links with "myportal"2013-02-14T18:18:51Z in response to SystemAdminI'm not an expert in this area but I'll make some suggestions and see how far we get.
First of, make sure that you are using the seedlist crawler and then select WCM 7 as the source. The WCM direct crawler was for an earlier version of WCM.
Do you have any security enabled on the collection?
Do you have the latest fixpacks of OEE?
Re: Omnifind 9.1 search brings only links with "myportal"2013-02-15T07:53:25Z in response to bfoyleHello bf,
Yes, they applied some patches to WCM. I pointed out to the customer that a change seems to have been applied to their seedlist links. We're currently using IBM Content Analytics with Enterprise Search v3 and they're using WCM 7.
Our crawler's a seedlist crawler. Security is enabled.
I have a workaround in mind involving the alternate URL feature that would check if the URL is missing 'wps/mypoc' and add it if it is not there. But still, that's just a workaround.
Would you know if there should be something in WCM that needs to be changed in order for it to work with ICA?
Re: Omnifind 9.1 search brings only links with "myportal"2013-02-18T03:12:12Z in response to SystemAdminHad a meeting with the specialists from the client side last Friday. They said that their seed list is working for WCM's own search application. They didn't change any settings and everything's default. Still, I find it weird that the href in <atom:link> is incomplete.
As expected, they weren't too excited about my proposed workaround involving alternate URLs.
Is it possible for the crawler to use the <atom:content src=...> instead of the +<atom:link>+?

Re: Omnifind 9.1 search brings only links with "myportal"2013-08-29T08:09:45Z in response to SystemAdmin
If you want to have in your link /portal, /connect and /myportal, /myconnect I suggest you to modify searchportlet.war\dojo\dojo\dojo.js
Locate "_renderTitle: function" line and before "var uri=_141f.documentURI" add the following line: "var str=document.location.href;var chlogon=str.search(/myportal/i); ". Then between "else{if(uri.toLowerCase().indexOf("notes://")==0){if(EDR.config.notes_link_target!="null"){_1426=EDR.config.notes_link_target;}}}}} " and "if(!(EDR.config.forceTitleLink&&EDR.config.forceTitleLink=="true")&&(!uri||uri==""))" add "if (chlogon>=0){uri=uri.replace("portal", "myportal");"
And if you are not redirected with portal or myportal from the search field... then you'll have to copy portalSearchBar.jsp and make portalSearchBar1.jsp , locate the line "String url = ESURLGenerator.generateUrlString("ibm.portal.OmniFindSearch", "ibm.portal.OmniFindSearch.called", "/portal", request, response); " and change /portal with /myportal and then modify your Default.jsp theme file in the section "<portal-logic:if loggedIn="yes" portletSolo="no"" find "<a href="/wps/omnifind/portalSearchBar.jsp" onclick="wptheme_TCLightbox.show(this.href); return false;">" and change portalSearchBar with portalSearchBar1

Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray's demise has revived demands from Sena and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) members that the "warring" Thackeray cousins — Uddhav and Raj — bury their differences and join hands on the political front.
"After Balasaheb's death, the Marathi manoos feels orphaned and insecure. Now, the estranged cousins must unite for this common cause," said a Shiv Sena party member.
But if the cousins come together, they will do so only after the Lok Sabha polls depending on the numbers they can garner, he said.
"They will test each other's strength as these will be the first polls to be held without Balasaheb… this will help them judge their bargaining power," the Sena member added.
A MNS legislator, too, said that any alignment between the two cousins would be determined in the coming months.
"Everyone wants to come to power [and the two cousins coming together increases these chances].
"However, it seems far-fetched now to say that the Sena and the MNS will merge. Both have created various rungs of leadership in their respective parties. In case of a merger, how will these be adjusted?" asked a MNS functionary.
"But a pre-poll adjustment or post-poll alliance may be possible," the MNS leader said.

Mario E. (Miami Beach, FL): What were your thoughts on the situation with Team Mayweather allegedly being racist and turning down the request of a Filipino news source to speak with him at the Mayweather/Mosley press tour?
I hate to sound cliche-ish here, but it goes back to that old "there's-always-more-than-one-side-to-a-story" theory. I have covered promotional events for Goldenboy Promotions on several occasions and what I have noticed is that (by personal admission) they simply don't go out of their way too much for what Richard Schafer calls (to use his exact terms) "secondary sites". It may sound discriminatory on the surface, but there's a good reason why they don't, and in their defense, it is never unilateral, it always has more to do with the industry status of those making the request, rather than the color or race of them. In other words, it all came down to the pecking order, and those of us at the bottom of the totem pole simply had to realize that we weren't gonna always have the same level of opportunity..
To a certain level, it also has more to do with how we accept our role than how defined that role may be. I can remember one event in particular when two fellow scribes from one of these "secondary sites" were declined the opportunity to speak to ODH, but me being humble enough to acknowledge and respect that I was simply at the bottom of the totem pole at the time (compared to the ESPN's and the HBO's) turned out to be the reason why I was allowed to speak to him and those who got hot were asked to take a seat somewhere and cool down. No matter what the scenario is in life, you have to understand your position and play it accordingly. My first few conference calls with Goldenboy Promotions and others, I knew I going into these calls that I would be the last one allowed to ask questions, and I knew I would only get one question on that call - and in a very hurried fashion. Rather than trying to make a huge deal of it, my intent was to simply make the most of that opportunity. Suddenly, you start to hear things like "great question", or "wow, I didn't think of that", (from the call moderators) and as your reputation for good work grows, so does the level of opportunity.
My response to those from the Filipino news staff that were turned back is to take this in stride and see the bigger picture. Even the great Bert Sugar has gone on record about stories of how he was declined credentials and looked down on in his early days. The fact that this story was even broadcasted as racist is partly why these "secondary sites" generally don't get the same level of opportunities. This story was initially reported to say that Mayweather was racist, but somehow they left out the major detail that Mosley didn't speak to them either. Does that mean he's racist, too? If not, why didn't we see an article about him? That example right there highlights why the credibility of many "secondary sites" doesn't afford the same level of opportunity. The best two ways to overcome this matter is to simply improve the quality of the content you donate, and let your work speak for itself. It has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with earning the title (as a respected scribe).
Marv L. (Chicago, IL): Which would shock you more? Joshua Clottey knocking out Manny Pacquiao early or Pacquiao knocking out Clottey early?
Vivek W. (ESB): While many of us marvel Pacquiao's power, I think seeing him stop Clottey early after taking 12 rounds to get a damaged Cotto out of there would really shock the hell out of me! That being said, Clottey has gotten quite a bit of flack for not always dialing up the aggression when it counts most, so to see him step up and not only dig his way through Pacquiao's grueling assault, but have enough left in the tank to stop him would be something that would really leave me speechless as well. When you look at the two men involved, I think both have the natural attributes to knock the other out, but truthfully, I think defense is gonna determine who is able to knock the other out first.
If Pacquiao takes a pounding early, I wouldn't totally rule him being stopped at some point. Just not early. If he (Pacquiao) is able to figure out the defensive shell of Clottey and land at will early while using his great footwork to remain elusive and avoid taking shots, seeing him get a mid-round KO may not be far-fetched either. I don't really know how to answer this question from a comparative standpoint, as either one would shock the hell out of me. I think an early KO for either man would steal the show for me because they're just both so spirited. They're warriors in every sense of the word. That's what makes this an easy fight to get pumped for and a hard fight to answer such a question!
Tavis R. (Memphis, TN): I know that you have been very high on Devon Alexander. What were your thoughts on his victory over Juan Urango?
Vivek W. (ESB): I have tried to tell everyone within shouting distance that Devon Alexander is as talented as ANY rising star in the sport today. For whatever reason, he doesn't get the same respect, but if it takes performing like he did last night to earn it, trust me, the kid will oblige. I remember first seeing him while covering a Don King card a while back and watching him live, my first opinion was that "with improved defense, this kid could be as good as Floyd Mayweather jr., because he has great speed and amazing talent". His defense has improved, (although still not on that elite level), but across the board, I think you had to be totally impressed with his ability. He demonstrated a durable chin, a great shot selection, and above all else, he proved to us that it isn't how much power you have, it's how and where you place your shot.
I think if there were any questions about his ability, last Saturday night's performance immediately showed many that he belongs in that same conversation with the Bradley's, the Khan's, and the Valero's. He and Khan would be a helluva fight because of the speed factor, but a fight with Bradley would be amazing. He and Valero, on the other hand, would be a spectacle because he has now proved that he can handle power and won't run from it. Knocking out Urango was no easy feat, and I think that clearly established him as a perennial force in the division. We'll have to see what happens, but I'm thoroughly impressed and all the emails I've received in the aftermath tell me that I'm not the only one.
Ardis L. (Brooklyn, NYC): Do you think Edison Miranda has a chance against Lucian Bute?
Vivek W. (ESB):I think it all depends on the Lucian Bute that shows up. The one that we saw in the first fight against Librado Andrade that barely escaped, needing the help of referee Marlon B. 'Wrong'; or the one that showed up in the sequel with a chip on his shoulder that just wouldn't be denied. In the second Andrade fight, Bute was at his best, and showed each of us why he remains a top-tier talent in the sport. That Bute I think would be able to avoid the power punching of Miranda and win on a clear and decisive decision. Anything less and things could get quite interesting, as Miranda has not only a punchers chance, but also what's being described as a 'hunger for more' that needs to be quenched. You have to remember that Miranda knows a competitive win erases all his recent setbacks from the minds of fight fans. That in and of itself can be enough motivation. I think it should be an interesting fight, but if I had to put money down, I'd like Bute on points. It'll be great to watch.
Leones R. (Miami Lakes, FL): I think Carlos Quintana is a much better boxer than Berto. Would you agree that this is his fight to lose?
Vivek W. (ESB): No. That's my short answer. Not at all. I think that Quintana has far more skills than many seem to give him credit for, but he hasn't fought at the welterweight limit in 2 years and there was a reason that he went up. Some have stated that when he was in the welterweight division, he wasn't all too comfortable there. While that hasn't been confirmed, I can say for a fact that he appeared a bit more energized at his higher weight, although the level of competition wasn't anything to get excited about, either. I wouldn't rule out him (Quintana) winning the fight, as Collazo proved that Berto still hasn't quite mastered the slick southpaw type. That being said, I do think that once Berto settles in, his power and speed will be a major issue for Quintana if he isn't at his best. If the fight goes the distance, I like Berto on points, maybe even by a wide margin. But if it is somehow stopped early, I think one of Quintana's sneaky shots that comes from the blindside could be the culprit. As Oscar Dela Hoya once reminded us, "it's the shots you don't see coming that hurts the most"! Bombs away! May the best man win!

Gerard Butler apparently doesn't want to become the latest Hollywood casualty of prescription drugs. On the heels of a TMZ report that the Scottish star spent the last three weeks seeking treatment for substance abuse at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif., his rep confirms he's out and feeling better.
"Gerard has completed a successful course of treatment and has returned home in good health," the rep said in a statement (via Gossip Cop).
According to TMZ, Butler, 42, entered rehab after realizing he was "relying too much on prescription drugs" for "pain management," which reportedly began during his physically demanding (and mostly shirtless) role in "300," and was made worse when he suffered a near-death experience while filming the surfing movie "Of Men and Mavericks" late last year.
The actor also allegedly had issues with cocaine, but "the root problem appears to be the injuries and pain management." TMZ says he wanted to avoid a "full-blown addiction" by preemptively seeking help.
Butler has talked openly about his battle with alcohol in his 20s.
"I had gone from a 16-year-old who couldn't wait to grasp life to a 22-year-old who didn't care if he died in his sleep," explained the law school grad, who ended up being fired from an Edinburgh law firm over his boozing. "I used to drink until I couldn't remember anything. I was just mad for it and on a death wish. It was madness. One or two drinks was never enough for me. I was a foot-on-the-floor-all-the-way drinker, so it had to go. I don't miss it."
Gerard raised eyebrows last year when he hit the red carpet looking much thinner than usual, but he chalked up the change to preparation for the surfing pic.
"If I wear a long shirt, everyone says, 'Oh my God, he lost so much weight!' But this is how I look," he told E! in September. "I just used to be a lot bigger. But now I'm surfing. I'm doing a surf movie, so I have to slim down. I don't know ... maybe I'm sick or something!"
While filming "Of Men and Mavericks" in Northern California back in December, he was pulled underwater and over a reef, resulting in an ambulance ride and brief hospitalization.
"This was maybe one of the few times that the reports were not exaggerated," he acknowledged last month on "The Graham Norton Show." "It was a pretty close call. ... [The waves] just took me and I couldn't get up. It was pretty hairy."

text: In a small, shallow bowl, combine ½ stick melted butter or margarine and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. In a second small, shallow bowl, place 1 cup of Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs. Dredge each piece of fish in the breadcrumbs, then dip in the butter mixture, and dredge again in the breadcrumbs. Place the breaded fish fillets on the rack of a broiler pan. (I cover mine with aluminum foil for easy clean-up; you can spray with cooking oil spray instead.) Broil the fish about 5 or 6 inches away from heat, with the oven door partially open, for about 10 minutes, or when fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Watch the broiling process carefully, as the breading can get too dark. If the breading darkens before the fish flakes, you may want to use a spatula and carefully turn each fillet over to brown the other side while the fish cooks completely. This fish will be very tender, so you will need to carefully transfer it to a serving platter when done. Garnish with lemon wedges, which may be squeezed over the top of the catfish before eating. I hope you enjoy this full Southern Catfish Dinner—Southern Broiled Catfish, Tart and Tangy Tartar sauce, Deep-Fried French Fries, Done-In-A-Snap Country Style Green Beans, and Doggone Good Hush Puppies, accompanied by fresh lemonade made from my Lemonade Syrup Splash, and a Mid-Summer Melon Salad! I made this dinner using a minimal amount of fat and calories, so that you could enjoy a traditional Southern catfish feast without the guilt! Eat up!!!

It is listed in every travel brochure. Every time a celebrity visits, she never leaves without a pilgrimage to the ultimate destination in dirt cheap street fashion — Sarojini Nagar.
From runway looks to high-street merchandise available here, starlets, fashion designers, college students, hard-working professionals and women of leisure know one thing — everything here is defined by just one rule — inside Rs.500.
On Saturday afternoon, at about 1 p.m. when the sun seems especially strong, the lanes and by-lanes that define the market are bustling and being elbowed is something you get used to after a while.
"Every time I come here, I am surprised by the labels I find — Armani, Zara, Calvin Klein. You want tank tops, dresses and skirts, Sarojini is your best bet. And you get it only for Rs.300 or Rs.400. Variety and budget shopping together," says travel writer Geethika Sachdev, who has been shopping in many cities but swears by this market.
"It is a great hotspot for anything rasta funky," says Laxmi, who loves fashion magazines and keeps up with the latest merchandise that hits the city's malls and flea markets.
The shopkeepers say products are export surplus and the labels are authentic. Whether you want to believe this or not is left up to you, they also add, while you are trying to drive a hard bargain.
Fashion student Anupam says that she comes here very often and that there are very simple rules that one must follow while shopping here.
"It is very easy to get carried away by the low prices and you end up spending too much on things you do not really like. You wouldn't buy something in a showroom unless you really like it."
All regular shoppers had some advice that sprung from years of experience.
First of all, withdraw enough money before you get here because all ATMs will have long queues.
Carry a decent sized bag to stuff your shopping, because carrying tiny plastic covers can be quite a task. You also get to go green this way.
Always drive a bargain and never ask for the price. "You name the price and walk away if the vendor does not agree. Nine of 10 times the man will follow you and give you what you asked for. Otherwise, you will find it somewhere else in the market for the price that you want," said a regular.
And, last but the most important rule is to not get carried away. After all, nobody wants to accumulate trash in their wardrobes, no matter how cheap they get it for.

Los Angeles Dodgers Clinch National League West Division Title
Sept. 19 (Bloomberg) -- The Los Angeles Dodgers became the first Major League Baseball team to clinch a postseason spot, wrapping up the National League West title with a 7-6 win today at the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Hanley Ramirez hit two home runs and drove in four runs as the Dodgers (88-65) rallied from a 6-3 deficit to win at Chase Field in Phoenix and capture their first division title since 2009.
The Dodgers, whose payroll of more than $216.5 million is the highest in the NL according to USA Today, have gone 58-23 since starting the season 30-42 and falling to last in the West.

KBOX: Miniature Linux for Non-Rooted Android Devices
Productivity Sauce
While it's possible to run Linux on Android, this usually means going through the rigmarole of rooting the system with the ever-present risk of bricking your precious Android device. If this proposition is not your cup of tea, you'll appreciate KBOX, a miniature single-user Linux distribution with an integrated terminal emulator that can be installed on non-rooted Android devices. KBOX is not available in the Google Play Store, so you have to download the apk file from the project's website and install it manually.
KBOX comes with an assortment of Busybox utilities (find, grep, tar, vi, etc.), an SSH server and client, and the scp tool. A handful of other packages are available as separate downloads, including vim and rsync. The latter can act both as a client and server. Installing packages on KBOX is done using the dpkg tool. To install, for example, the rsync package, grab it from the project's website and use the following command:
dpkg -i /sdcard/Download/rsync_3.0.8_kbox.deb
While KBOX has its limitations, it can come in handy in many situations. Install, for example, rsync, and you can use this powerful and flexible tool to back up files on your Android device to a remote server. And thanks to the supplied SSH server, you can access your Android device via an SSH connection.comments powered by Disqus
