21.11.05 - By James Moore: IBF Light Welter Champion Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton (photo by Mark Robinson) headlines a hotly anticipated Fight Academy promotion at the Hallam FM Arena in Sheffield, England this Saturday when he faces dangerous WBA Champion Carlos Maussa. Hatton is, quite literally, boxing's equivalent of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; a mild mannered, happy go lucky, down to earth gentleman outside of the ring who transforms into a cold-blooded, calculating, ruthless assassin inside it. Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton is a very rare breed indeed. It's not often sport produces such a dramatic contradiction of alter-ego, but in Hatton, the world of boxing has a unique exponent, a classically equipped fighting machine who incorporates respected "old school" values and morals into a persona rarely encountered in today's game..
The popularity of both the boxer and the man speaks volumes, widely regarded by many as the most exciting fighter on the planet, and with a fan base unrivaled within the sport. Ricky Hatton is redefining a new era in boxing. He is boxings Max Factor in every sense of the word; Hatton has the make-up of a true star, a make-up that exudes undisputed class from every single pore. He possesses two very differentiating sides of character that fuse and collaborate to produce brutal efficiency within the noble art, and an art of nobility outside it.
Adored by millions, feared by many, respected by all.
So what exactly makes this unique man tick? What goes on inside the mind of the self proclaimed Hitman? If you could ask him any question, boxing related or not, what would it be? Rick has kindly taken time out from the busy training schedule for his upcoming unification fight with WBA Champion Carlos Maussa in order to answer questions from the fans on his official website www.rickyhitmanhatton.com
James Moore: Hi Rick, how's tricks?
Ricky Hatton: "Excellent thanks Jim, how's things with you?"
JM: Its all good pal, its all good thanks. So just to explain, as you know, we have run an "Ask The Hitman" competition, in which we have given your loyal, hardcore fans from your official site http://www.rickyhitmanhatton.com the opportunity to ask you their questions. Some are boxing related, some aren't, but hopefully, its something a little different to what you have been hammered with of late. Okay, on with the show ... How many times have you watched the Tszyu fight, and what did you think of your performance personally?
RH: "Well, for about two to three weeks after the fight I never had it off really. At first, the first week, due to the fact it was like the crowning moment, the fight I'm always going to be remembered by, even though there was still a lot more that I still want to do, but yeah, the first week it was because it was such a hell of an achievement from my point of view, it was just a massive buzz watching it. I mean for the first week I was just f**king filling up every time I watched it (laughs).
JM: We all were mate (bursts into uncontrollable tears like a big girl)
RH: "But yeah, after you have watched it from an enjoyment point of view, obviously you look at it and pick the points up and learn how you can improve. I haven't watched it though for a few weeks, but when I did I was just looking at what I could have done differently because one thing about making yourself a better fighter is studying how you performed and learning from it. But yeah, I thought it was a good performance, the only way I could have won the fight was fighting the way I did, I had to get on top of him, sap his strength, smother him, you know, not give him the space or leverage to get that f**king right hand in, although he did get it in a few times, which is only to be expected from someone of the caliber of Tszyu.
"You know generally, with the likes of Sharmba Mitchell, or Zab Judah, fighters like that, who like to give ground, who pull away from punches, look what happened to them. The leverage and the bite on his right hand, its a long right hand, its not a short right hand, not like maybe I would throw it, its a long right hand, so I thought, you know, the more I try to stay away, or keep back the more chance I'm gonna get collared with it like Judah and Mitchell did. I just thought, stay close, make it a rough and tumble affair, and he was waning really, so from a tactical perspective it was spot on, but obviously yeah, there is still more a lot more you can improve on, and I feel that I've improved in my training camp for this fight."
JM: Now that you have beaten Tszyu, which fighter now goes to number one on your hitlist?
RH: "I would have to say Mayweather, you know, with Mayweather being a world champion at several different weights, has made him become number one in some peoples eyes, and number one pound for pound in the world, the best in any weight division now, a few people have got him ranked at number one, but I have to admit from a ranking point of view, he wasn't the man at light welterweight, Kostya Tszyu was the man.
"And you know I beat Tszyu when he was ranked number one and above Mayweather in the light welterweight rankings, so I believe that I am the number one in the division, but depending on which organisation, or how people see it, I think most people see me and Floyd as the one and two, and whichever order you wish to put us in. But he's rated so highly in the pound for pound ratings.
"My main goal was to become number one in the division, and I thought I did that when I beat Kostya Tszyu but what he's done over the years and in different weight divisions, you have to regard Floyd as one of the best, if not the best pound for pound in boxing, so obviously that would be the next, if I could get the scalp of Floyd Mayweather, I'm sure I could go to the top of the pound for pound listings. So that's got to be my incentive."
JM: Many people have your victory against Tszyu as the greatest performance ever by a British boxer. In your opinion, which performance do you rate as the greatest by another British fighter?
RH: "I would say Lloyd Honeyghan, obviously you know, Lloyd fought Donald Curry when Curry was the undisputed champion, a bit similar to when I fought Kostya really, although Kostya was regarded universally as the undisputed champ, but he only really had the IBF belt to show for it. Kostya got elevated to WBA super champ and WBC emeritus Champ, and he never lost the belts in the ring. But yeah Honeyghan beat Curry when he was in his prime, he was a dangerous champion, you know it wasn't like he was past it or anything like that, and maybe another little similarity with Tszyu. If Kostya looks back at some of the performances in his career, I think his second fight with Sharmba Mitchell would have to go down as one of his best performances, and I'm sure he'd say that himself.
"But yeah, Lloyd beat a great champion, Curry was flying in the pound for pound rankings, I think at the time he was regarded as the best pound for pound fighter on the planet, so there you go, so yeah, I'd have to say Lloyd's win over Curry. I think that's the best performance, unbelievable, nobody really gave him a chance there, and he pulled it out."
JM: Your achievements in boxing speak for themselves, but if you could achieve major honours in any other sport, which sport would it be and what honour?
RH: "I think probably scoring in the World Cup finals for your country, I mean, one of my most proudest moments still was pulling on an England shirt when I was boxing in the amateurs, well I mean when you're a professional, and your winning fights and titles, and stuff like that, its great, but when your representing your country, coming out to the national anthem, there is nothing better. So yeah, I think playing in the World Cup finals and scoring a goal, would be very, very nice, and really, really special."
JM: Who are your top 3 favourite football (soccer) players, past or present?
RH: "My top 3 favourite footballers, I like Diego Maradona, I think Maradona was probably the best ever and I think the Brazilian team that won the World Cup in the 1970 was probably the greatest team ever. Pele is another one, and it would have to be Georgie Best.
"I think they are the top 3 players of all time I would say, but I think Maradona was the best of the lot and my favourite, I think when Brazil won the World Cup in 1970, Pele had a team with so many great players, and I think that team could have beaten any team in history, but when Argentina won the World Cup, they had some excellent players, but no real superstars, and I think Maradona won that World Cup on his own, and he is definitely my favourite."
JM: What do you think of England's chances in next years World Cup?
RH: "England have got as much chance now as they will ever have I think, but I think the only problem is with England, I mean the win against Argentina on Saturday was brilliant, what a fantastic game. But England, every year, show how good we can be, we show so much promise, but for some reason, whatever, we always fall short, its a little bit like watching Manchester City in many ways, your banging your head against a brick wall, because you know the always show the promise but never quite pull it off. I think that's been the story of England over the last few years, but hopefully they will have turned the tide before the World Cup, but you know, we just seem to not quite do it when they need to, but hopefully we will rectify that this time."
JM: Outside of boxing and carpets, what other career would you have chosen?
RH: "Oh, without a doubt football, believe me, there is a hell of a lot more money to be made in football than there is in carpets, and a lot more money to be made in football than boxing if you think about it. You certainly don't get a flat nose by playing football, (laughs) so yeah, I think football I would say."
JM: What is the most exciting and rewarding aspect of boxing for you?
RH: "Well, obviously my last fight against Kostya Tszyu, when you first start boxing at ten o'clock, ten o'clock ? ( laughs) I mean, when you first start boxing at 10 years old (laughs) ) you always want to be the number one in the world and the champion, you know so, that was, that night was just, well, it was just a dream that I'll just never wake up from. But yeah, you know, in boxing a very close second is the respect I get off the fans.
"I think the fans turn out, sometimes in the past we have had big names linked up to fight, and right at the last minute, they have not come off, my opponents have pulled out, and as much as I've been pissed off, I know the fans have been pissed off and they have still turned out in the thousands to support me, I not underplaying my fighting style, I know they know I'm just one of the lads, and no different to the man in the street or the man in the stands really, and it means a big deal to me when the fans come out and give me the support. And you know its like, even when I'm walking in the street, just the opinion that people have of me is like winning a world title in itself."
JM: As a fight fan, what's the most exciting fight you have ever seen?
RH: "The most exciting fight I've ever seen ? That's a tough one, as there are so many, but I think I'd have to go with Hearns and Hagler. You know, it was only three rounds, but it was absolutely fantastic, they only had one thing on their minds and that was to knock each other out, that was something else."
JM: How did you come up with the name "Hitman"?
RH: "The name was given to me by my first amateur coach really, Ted Peat. Its funny really, it was the first day I ever went to the boxing gym, he just give me some gloves and said go and hit that bag, I mean it was my first day really, and I thought, I'm not going to go that mad, he just said have a go on the bags and see how you like it. I mean I've always been quite aggressive, even from the early days really. I think Ted just looked over and said 'He's a bloody little animal him (laughs ), he's a little Hitman' and obviously âanimalâ didn't really go with Hatton, but Hitman did, so it basically just stuck from there."
JM: If a movie was to be made about your rise to greatness, which actor would you want to play Ricky Hatton?
RH: (laughs) "There would have to be two actors I think to cover both sides of me, (laughs). I think the first one would have to be Colin Farrell for when I'm slim and on the weight, and then I think they'd have to get someone like f**king Bob Hoskins when I've put a few pounds on (laughs) . But I'm not really sure to be honest, don't really know what to say about that one. One of my favourite actors is Robert De Niro, he was brilliant in Raging Bull, but I expect that he's probably a little bit past it now for that role to be honest."
JM: What's the best advice you have ever been given in boxing?
RH: "Best piece of advice given in boxing? That's a tough one that really, but I guess basically just to work hard, you only get out of boxing what you put in it, but I don't think that just stands for boxing, it stands for the same in life really, but more importantly, in boxing you cant cut no corners, if you skimp in your training it will come back to haunt you, you cant bring on any substitutes, you can't come off if it isn't going well, you know, you don't have another ten team mates to help you out, you have got to do it all on your own really."
JM: Has anyone ever advised you to use the modest approach? For example Naseem Hamed used the Ali tip to great effect, but you're the exact opposite.
RH: "No not at all, I don't really need a gimmick, what you see is what you get. I mean coming through I looked up to Naz, but we went through a period when fighters were saying the same old stuff, saying they were going to do this and that, they were going to knock their opponent out when this bomb lands, and the fight will be over, but I think, and no disrespect to any other boxer, I'm friends with Naz, but in general, after Naz I think it got a little old hat, and I think I was the refreshing change, and I just got on with it. I think people like me not only for my style but for my personality, the âjack the ladâ personality; I'm just like one of the fans."
JM: Have you ever during any fight had a non-boxing thought pop into your head, and if so, what was it?
RH: "No not really, I think during a fight, one good thing about me is that my focus, and something I needed more than anything against Kostya Tszyu, you know, one punch and it would have been over. So, no, there was nothing really popping into my head, but I must admit during the Kostya Tszyu fight, you know, once we got to rounds 9,10,11, I started thinking to myself, how much has he got left? I was thinking can I knock him out, but apart from that, no other thought, other than trying to finish my opponent. Your just thinking about your opponent all the time really. "
JM: What do you have planned for your son Campbell's main Christmas present this year?
RH: "I don't know, he's got bleeding everything, I'm not to sure at the moment, what with all the training and everything, you see I'm hoping to do all my Christmas shopping the minute the fight is finished, its going to be another last minute one like per usual I think. I always get him a load of Manchester City clobber, you know, I've got to drill that into him at an early age, (laughs) important part of his upbringing that, he's got to follow the right footsteps. But yeah, I haven't really give it much thought really, you know he's getting to the age where he can be having a Playstation or computer. He'll turn 5 in January, I think before he's been a little bit too young for a computer, but now he maybe ready.
"Also maybe a train set, things like that, but to be honest he gets spoilt rotten, not only from my side of the family but from his mums as well, either way I'm pretty sure Santa will be leaving him a load of pressies, but what with the fight I'm still not to sure yet as its been a very busy time with me lately, not only with the training for the fight, but with things outside the ring as well, but the minute the fights over I'll concentrate on what I'm going to get him, but it will be a good Christmas for him that's for sure. "
JG: What music are you into and what are your favourite bands?
RH: "I like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis, James, you know that kind of stuff, The Stereophonics, all that kind of music really, but basically whatever is in the charts, they might be a good tune in the charts that I fancy, you know, I listen to most stuff that's on the radio, all the top tunes of the week. I do like Rock as well, I tend to put a lot of Rock on in the changing room before a fight, I think the beat gets me pumped up and fired up. But yeah mainly what I've mentioned there, Happy Mondays also, the Manchester stuff, that's what I'm into, I like the golden oldies as well, Motown and all that so, just whatever tune takes my fancy."
JG: What was your best "lad's" holiday; where did you go and who were you with?
RH: Oh, I had a few of them! (laughs) I like to go to Tenerife a lot because I've got a few pals over there, I also go to Marbella. But yeah, generally, we tend to go to Tenerife every year with the lads from the gym around about June time, and its brilliant really, because you know generally I tend to fight around about May/June and then maybe in December. So every year, the lads, everybody from the gym; my brother Matt, Belly, Matt Macklin, Si, and a load of others usually go to Tenerife. It's great when you have all been training, and working hard for the fight, and the minute you've won you can go have a week abroad and celebrate. And to be honest the holidays with the lads are sometimes just as tough as the fights ( laughs) , but yeah, going away with the lads from the gym is brilliant.
"I've had some great holidays, another one I went to was when I went to see Manchester City play in Thailand on a preseason tour with a couple of pals, and that was a great time. And Vegas, that's always a good one. I'm going to Vegas to watch the Hopkins/Taylor fight as its going to be the week after mine, so I can have a bit of a holiday and watch the boxing as well. But yeah, there are too many to mention really, but when I go with the lads is when I have my best times, like my mates are all my good mates and have been there since day one, and they are very important to me, and my family; the cruises that we have every January is another great holiday as well."
JM: You are know for your sharp wit and sense of humour, out of all the other boxers you know, who would you say is the funniest you have met?
RH: "The funniest I've met ? Billy Schwer is quite witty, I always get a good laugh out of Billy Schwer, and Colin Dunne, I've always liked Colin Dunne, he's a Scouser that lives in London now and I cant make my mind up whether he is talking Cockney or Scouse, (laughs) he's always funny.
"I also met and had a few good drinks and laughs with Jake LaMotta at a few sportsman's dinners, he's been married about 22 times I think or some thing like that, and its the little stories he tells me about certain things, he said, âI've been married however many times Ricky and I wont stop until I get the job rightâ� (laughs) you know its little things like that, but you know a lot of boxers are characters. I think John Conteh is one of the funniest men I've ever seen, at after dinner speaking, he is fantastic. There are not many boxers that are really on the dull side, they always tend to be characters, its that kind of sport, I think you have to have a slate loose (laughs) to do it at times, you know most boxers are usually pretty good with their personality, except one, which I don't really think I need to mention his name. (laughs all around)
JM: What's your favourite episode of the classic television show "Only Fools and Horses"?
RH: (laughs ) "It's got to be the Batman and Robin one and also the one with the chandelier, they crack me up all the time, I must have watched them a million times, brilliant, absolutely fantastic." (laughs)
JM: It would be fair to say that your left hook to the body is the punch you are best know for, but in your opinion, what is your most improved shot?
RH: "My most improved shot I think is my right cross, its been working a treat in sparring, particularly for this fight, but yeah, I mean everybody has their favourite punch, every single boxer, has their favourite punch. Larry Holmes was his jab, a great jab, Tommy Hearns was his right cross, so you know everybody has their favourite punch, but you have got to try and make yourself the all round package, and that is important to me, everybody expects the left hook to the body, but if you notice against Tony Pepp, John Bailey, and a few others along the way, you know, Mike Stewart, I nailed him with a right cross. But I've tried to add as much to my game as possible, my left hook to the body will still be the same, that will be the one I'll always favour, but don't watch my left hook to the body too much, as I feel I'm improving all the time."
JM: What aspect of training do you most enjoy, and which part do you most dislike?
RH: "I most enjoy the body-belt, obviously you need your sparring, that is where you get your timing, and you have to get your sparring partners in the mirror image of your opponent, that's a vital part of your training. But I do love the body-belt, 15 rounds on the body-belt, the pace that I go at is absolutely ferocious, and the minute I've done that I know, from a stamina point of view and a conditioning point of view I don't need to worry, you know so that's probably the best part of my training. I think the worst part of my training is the running, because its basically boring really, you find yourself going on different runs to make it a bit more exciting but it never tends to work, your bored to tears, especially for the last fight against Kostya Tszyu, when your doing that at f**king two in the morning (laughs) , and there is nothing out there, I mean there is no cars, no traffic, f**king bats flying out of the trees, I thought that was a bit scary, but yeah, the roadwork is definitely the worst part, and making the weight, the dieting, because I love my food, and that's pretty clear to see at times (laughs).
JM: Boxing politics and contractual issues aside, hypothetically speaking, if you could only have three fights before you retire, and you were looking to cement your legacy as a true great, which three opponents would you choose to fight from the very rich 140lbs â 147lbs pool?
RH: "I would say Floyd Mayweather, no first probably Miguel Cotto, or Mayweather actually, whatever order, but yeah I'd have to do Mayweather and Cotto to clear up at light welterweight, and that would make me the undisputed champion. I know I'm regarded as the undisputed in many ways, but obviously I'd have all the belts to prove it, and then I think I'd try and move up and fight Zab Judah, and if I could beat Zab Judah then I'd be an undefeated, double weight, undisputed world champion, I think that would be something else." ( laughs )

Former Atlanta Public Schools Superintendent Beverly Hall entered a plea deal. Both the prosecution and defense agreed on the plea deal. Prosecutors and defense lawyers chiseled out a plea deal in March. In the deal, Hall would agree to plead to a single felony charge. In her guilty plea, in exchange for probation and pay restitution.
Those negotiations broke down, because, if the plea deal was accepted, it would allow Hall to plead guilty and would not require her to accept responsibility. According to law, a plea of this nature can be permitted under a 1970, U.S. Supreme Court decision. Judge Jerry W. Baxter also rejected the plea deal. This is called an Alford plea (also referred to as Alford guilty plea and Alford doctrine). In the United States, this guilty plea can be used in a criminal case. This allows the defendant to plead guilty and does not admit the act and asserts innocence.
Hall, now 67 is also battling stage four breast cancer. In the history making scandal, Beverly Hall has been charged with engaging in a racketeering conspiracy that improperly raised students' scores on a state standardized test. Also, other charges, theft by taking, submitting and giving false documents in 2009.
Hall to this day, denies any wrong doing and says she is innocent of the charges. The trial for Hall and 12 others are scheduled to start next month. A jury will determine the future of each defendant. Hall's lawyers have asked the judge for a continuance for six to eight months due to the health of their client. Judge Baxter is yet to rule on that request.
Twelve educators of Atlanta Public Schools involved in the cheating scandal plead guilty. They wrote letters apologizing to students, parents, and community for their actions. Dr. Hall was the superintendent and the highest ranking school employee involved in the scandal. She fails to assume and accept responsibility for her role and actions taken by subordinates under her leadership. Children first.
'Integrity is doing the right thing, even if nobody is watching.'

Japan's economy shrinks in 4Q, stays in recession
More News from Associated Press
popular .
TOKYO — Japan's economy remained mired in recession late last year, shrinking 0.4 percent in annualized terms for the third straight quarter of contraction on feeble demand both at home and overseas.
The government reported Thursday that growth for all of 2012 was 1.9 percent.
The figures were worse than expected, as many analysts had forecast the economy may have emerged from recession late last year as the Japanese yen weakened against other major currencies, giving a boost to Japanese export manufacturers.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who took office in late December, is championing aggressive spending and monetary stimulus to help get growth back on track. He has lobbied the central bank to set an inflation target aimed at breaking out of Japan's long bout of deflation, or falling prices, that he says are inhibiting corporate investment and growth.
However the Bank of Japan was not expected to announce any major new initiatives from a policy meeting Thursday. The current central bank governor, Masaaki Shirakawa, is due to leave office on March 19, and Abe is expected to appoint as his successor an expert who favors his more activist approach to monetary policy.
Last year began on an upbeat note with annual growth in the first quarter at 6 percent as strong government spending on reconstruction from the March 2011 tsunami disaster helped spur demand. But the economy slipped back into contraction in the second quarter and deteriorated further as frictions with China over a territorial dispute hammered exports to one of Japan's largest overseas markets.

Last week, while much of the country was focused on President Obama's second inauguration, or was distracted by a three-day weekend, a quiet coup by Virginia state Senate Republicans disappeared a Democratic state Senate seat. Virginia's upper house is evenly split, but with Sen. Henry L. Marsh III in Washington for the presidential inauguration, the Republicans used his absence and a party line vote to approve a new redistricting plan that eliminates a Democratic Senate seat, thus giving themselves a likely more permanent majority, beginning in 2015. But that was only the beginning of what they want to do. Virginia's Republicans have an even more cynical plan for 2016:
A Republican-backed bill that would end Virginia's winner-takes-all method of apportioning its 13 electoral votes in presidential elections cleared its first legislative hurdle Wednesday.How would the new system work?
The bill would apportion electors by congressional district to the candidate who wins each of the state's 11 districts. The candidate who carries a majority of the districts would also win the two electors not tied to congressional districts.And what would it have meant, last November?
(Continue reading below the fold.)
Last fall, President Barack Obama carried Virginia for the second election in a row, making him the first Democrat since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win Virginia in back-to-back presidential elections. For his victories, he received all 13 of the state's electoral votes.President Obama won Virginia by 149,298 votes, or 3.88 percent, yet under this new Republican plan he would have won less than half of Virginia's electoral votes. Whatever you want to call it, that is not democracy, it is not the will of the people, and it is antithetical to every precept by which representative government is supposed to work. Certainly, the Electoral College is anti-democratic in its very design, but this move wouldn't be a step toward leveling the power and impact of each individual voter, rather it would be a huge step away from that, empowering a deliberately chosen few at the expense of a deliberately excluded many. It's long been the Republican way on economic matters, but now they want to take it to the very basis of how we are governed. It would literally destroy the concept of representative government, in this country. And because Republicans are Republicans, it also is a blatant effort to disenfranchise minority voters. And this effort is not limited to Virginia.
Under (the Republican sponsor's) revision, Obama would have received only four Virginia electoral votes last year while Republican Mitt Romney would have received nine.
Backed by Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preibus, an effort is underway which would mirror that in Virginia, to guarantee that Republican candidates become president despite losing even by large margins of both the national popular vote and the popular votes of states whose Electoral majorities they would be effectively stealing. This is not about fixing the Electoral College system, it is about rigging it. Ian Millhiser explains:
The Republican election rigging plan targets blue states that President Obama won in 2008 and 2012, and changes the way they allocate electoral votes to give many of these votes away for free to the Republican candidate for president. Under the Republican Plan, most electoral votes will be allocated to the winner of individual Congressional districts, rather than to the winner of the state as a whole. Because the Republican Plan would be implemented in states that are heavily gerrymandered to favor Republicans, the resulting maps would all but guarantee that the Republican would win a majority of each state's electoral votes, even if the Democratic candidate wins the state as a whole.If Republicans want to talk about comity and open dialogue, they can begin by declaring this effort dead, in the interest of basic democratic principles. If the pundits who bleat endlessly about the need for bipartisanship have any principles at all, they will loudly and consistently declare their outrage at a plan that would render the will of the people null and void. If Third Way type centrists actually believe there is a path toward less acrimonious governance, they can begin by ending their false equivalency that lumps Democrats who have fairly won the opportunity to pursue a Democratic agenda with Republicans who never compromise, never negotiate in good faith, and now are planning to blow up the very concept of representative governance. And keep in mind that even the Republican control of the House of Representatives is due entirely to gerrymandering, which already has undermined the will of the voters, because in some states where Democratic candidates won a majority of overall Congressional votes, Republicans nevertheless won large majorities of actual Congressional seats. Nationally, Democrats won more Congressional votes than did Republicans, yet Republicans retained their majority in the House. This also was by design, and in apparently accidental moments of honesty, some Republicans have even admitted it.
In other words, a system that would allocate presidential electors by Congressional district would be twice rigged against the will of the voters, and the American system of government would be twice divorced from representative democracy. As Aaron Blake of the Washington Post explained:
The new system would allow Republicans to consistently win electoral votes (and quite possibly a majority of electoral votes) from states like Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Virginia, regardless of whether they win the statewide vote.But it's even worse than that.
All five of these states went for Obama in 2012. Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have consistently gone blue at the presidential level, and Virginia is tilting in that direction, which would make winning any electoral votes in these states a victory for the GOP.
In fact, if every state awarded its electoral votes by congressional district, it's likely that Mitt Romney would have won the 2012 presidential election despite losing the popular vote by nearly four percentage points. (According to Fix projections and data from Daily Kos Elections, Romney won at least 227 congressional districts and 24 states, giving him 275 electoral votes — more than the 270 he needed.)Think about that. Think about what it would do to this country, and what it would tell the rest of the world. President Obama won the national popular vote by close to 5 million votes, but if the Republican plan had been in effect Mitt Romney might now be president. No matter your political allegiance, if you believe in such basic concepts as democracy and representative government and will of the people and fair elections, such a plan should leave you not just angry but infuriated and aghast. Unless this effort is buried, it should be the issue and the the story, because nothing even approaches it in importance. Every political issue is by it trumped, because it would trump every issue, and in countless cases countermand what the people of this nation want done on the issues.
In addition, if just the five states mentioned above changed their systems, Obama's 126-electoral-vote win would have shrunk to a 34-vote win — close enough where a different result in Florida (which Obama won by less than one point) would have tipped the 2012 race in Romney's favor.
Unless this effort is buried, all elected Democrats must understand and act on the reality that Republicans with this effort are proving they are neither responsible nor responsive, and that their every pretense of patriotism and honor is nothing but a lie. The danger of this effort cannot be overstated. And if it is allowed to happen, it is a certainty that if on election night 2016 a Republican has by these rigged rules stolen the presidency despite losing the popular vote by millions, the traditional media will shrug it off, just as they shrugged off the later proved stolen election of 2000. But this would be so blatant that even the traditional media's best efforts wouldn't be able to obfuscate it. It would tear the country apart, as every person of principle and conscience awakened to the reality that the dreams and ideals of democracy and republic were dead. But it would be too late. It would be legal, even though the rule of law itself no longer would have any basis in popular consensus.
The time to speak out is now. This can only succeed if done quietly, in the shadows. Already, Florida Republican leaders are backing away from the idea, and the more Americans hear about it, the more they will be outraged by it. Regardless of partisan affiliations, you can be sure that the vast majority of Americans still has a basic sense of fairness, and a respect for the ideals by which this country is supposed to work. The time for Democratic leaders to speak out is now. The time for Republican leaders to be forced to take public stands for or against representative government is now. All Americans of conscience and integrity must stand up and be heard, or anything good and just about the American system of government will fall and be silenced.

Sherman Alexie: What I'm GivingPosted by Sherman Alexie, November 26, 2013 2:00 pm No Comments Filed under: What I'm Giving.
In this special series, we asked writers we admire to share a book they're giving to their friends and family this holiday season. Check back daily to see the books your favorite authors are gifting.
÷ ÷ ÷
For holiday giving, I highly recommended Amy Krouse Rosenthal's Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life. This book is a memoir, yes, but it's written as an encyclopedia of moments, objects, and memories in Rosenthal's life. I've always been attracted to books of lists. And I love poetry that makes beauty out of the mundane. Rosenthal's book is filled with beautiful and personal trivia. And, oh, is she funny. You'll laugh at least 50 times while reading this book. So, yes, Rosenthal writes like a standup comedian performs. And she'll knock you over with a moment of such crystalline insight that you'll have to shut the book to compose yourself.

Poll up.
Post ones that I missed.
Did The Smothers Brothers Show go into the 70's? [OK, I looked it up... it went from 1967-1970 - I guess it qualifies :dunno:]
I know the worst one.
I had to go with Hee Haw. A few reasons...I use to watch it with my grandfather when I was a little girl (he died when I was 11) and because of all those on the list it's the only one I ever saw more than once :dunno:
How about "Sha Na Na"...that one I watched with my dad! We both LOVED it ;)
"Room despair and agony on me
deep dark depression
excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck
I'd have no luck at all
Room despair and agony on me..."
Hee hee hee hee hee Haw HeeHaw!
I thought Carol Burnett Show was going to win this one hands down. At least they are still in it.
I remember shields and yarnell freaking me out as a kid, man i hated that show, part of the reason why i still to this day fear mimes.
The Muppet Show should really be included
the Dean Martin Show should have been on that poll. It ran from 1965-74. Loved the roasts, and especially Foster Brooks. :lol:
The Dean Martin roasts were very funny, Sonny and Cher was also pretty good sometimes, but Carol Burnett was consistently funny.
This is kind of like voting for the best turd in the litter box.
you are obviously lacking an appreciation of the finer things in life :DQuote:

Nice girl looking for a sweet guy
I am a shy and laid back girl who loves to laugh. I can appreciate a man with a good sense of humor and an optimistic outlook on life. Laughter is good for the soul. If I could use one word to describe myself if would be introvert. I like to observe, listen, learn, and reflect. I may be quiet at first, but you can't shut me up once I warm up to you. I really enjoy the company of a few friends and family in an intimate setting. I also enjoy reading a good book, watching movies and watching old sitcoms on Netflix. I LOVE music! Whether it is listening to any genre of music, playing my violin, or dancing with no rhythm, I love it. I am a deep thinker who likes to learn new things and see new places. Boredom is not in my vocabulary. Between my beautiful children, my wonderful friends, and my vivid imagination I never get bored. I like to enjoy life and not take things too seriously. I heard many men say that women ignore the nice guy and go for the bad boys. Well, I'm looking for a nice guy! A nice guy who will take the time to get to know me and with whom I can build something strong and special with. He must also love kids (Duh). I don't believe that soul mates are found, I believe they are created. I am more than willing to work with you, if you're willing to work with me. I like men who are strong, smart, kind, patient, and goal oriented. Someone who would want to explore new places with me as well as snuggle on the couch every once and a while.
Alumni connections , Book club , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing
Bowling, Dancing, Walking / Hiking
I don't exercise regularly.
I like Birds, Dogs, Fish
Middle of the Road
Cancun, Carribean Islands, and Atlanta
I will listen to any genre of music as long as I like the messege or melody of the song. Music in general is a favoriite of mine. I also like The Big Bang Theory, Comedies, Action Flicks, Dramas, and watching the sunset over the Ohio river.
I like to take my children to the park on warm days and go for ling walks. I recently picked up playing the violin as a hobby. I enjoy going to the movies, to plays, and to comedy shows.
I am currently reading a non-fiction titled Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking.

Vastus medialis
The vastus medialis is a muscle which is a part of the quadriceps muscle group, located on the front of the thigh. It is the most medial, or inner, of the quadriceps muscles. It extends the length of the thigh. The portion of the muscle that is just above the knee is sometimes referred to as the vastus medialis obliquus, or VMO. This muscle is used to extend the leg at the knee and to stabilize the patella, which is also known as the knee cap. The muscle is a common center of weakness because it will not become fully strengthened unless the leg is regularly extended fully. The vastus medialis can be strengthened by performing exercises such as knee extensions, leg presses, and squats. The muscle is more fully activated when the knee is at a greater angle, especially when the leg is completely extended. Therefore, quadriceps exercises which involve a full range of motion are best for targeting this muscle.

Regulators ease rule curbing banks' exposures to customers
Published on Apr 15, 2014 9:12 PM
LONDON (REUTERS) - Global regulators have eased a new rule limiting how much business a bank can undertake with a single customer, as they try to minimise the risk of fallout from a counterparty going bust without imposing excessive burdens on financial firms.
Regulators want to avoid the damage to financial stability an insolvency can wreak, as seen with the collapse of US bank Lehman Brothers in 2008 which led to taxpayers bailing out several lenders.
"In cases where the bank's counterparty is another bank, large exposure limits will directly contribute towards the reduction of system-wide contagion risk," the Basel Committee of banking regulators said in a statement on Tuesday.
The committee, made up of banking supervisors from nearly 30 countries, published the final version of a new rule that will take effect in 2019, bumping up compliance costs for banks and potentially limiting how much business they can conduct with a customer.

And so Rosie O'Donnell is out at The View, leaving when her contract expires in mid-June, according to today's announcement. It's sad news for fans of unexpectedly in-your-face happy-talk morning TV, but if you were paying attention, you'd have seen it coming. Lloyd Grove profiled View creator Barbara Walters in New York recently, and he questioned how much longer O'Donnell would be with the show:
O'Donnell's arrival in September — to replace the deferential Vieira as moderator — has been unquestionably a success. She has been credited with an over 20 percent hike in the ratings in the key 18-to-49 female demographic, which has fueled speculation about her bright future on daytime TV. Will ABC cash out Walters's stake and retire her in favor of O'Donnell, who, after all, had her own very successful show from 1996 to 2002? The betting in Las Vegas at last month's programming-executives convention was that O'Donnell will leave soon to launch her own show for either ABC or a major syndicator. At minimum, O'Donnell — who's said to be pulling down nearly $3 million from The View, about twice what Vieira was paid — will likely be demanding a big raise.
Both [producer Bill] Geddie and Brian Frons, the head of ABC Daytime, are uncomfortably in the dark about O'Donnell's intentions. "I have absolutely no idea, I really don't know," Geddie says. "I hope she stays. I think we all hope she stays. I know there are many opportunities for her now."
O'Donnell has done nothing to discourage speculation that she's out to take over the show from the woman who invited her back to daytime TV. She's been known to "slip up" and call The View "my show," and she introduced a discount-clothing segment early this month with "It's Budget Week on um The View. I almost said The Rosie O'Donnell Show. [Studio audience laughter.] That would have been a mistake!"
So let's just sit tight and see where she ends up next.

Will Age Or Ranking Retire Fed
I'm just wondering what will eventually tell Fed it's time to hang them up. Would he stop playing if his ranking fell to say 7 or 8th in the world? As he gets older he is probably going to play fewer tourneys and i would think his ranking would fall. I just wonder would hang around and try to win majors as say the number 8 or 9 guy or would he hang them up because it's an embarrassment to be outside the top 4....or do you all think if he has say 2 or 3 in the next couple of years where he gets put out before the quarters would make him retire.
Plus he's making a fortune with his sponsors, and he might have a few slams in him. Who knows, maybe he'll remake himself like Agassi and pull out 5 more GS's!
once he stops consistently making semis of slams.
He'll play through 2016.
I say this because I think he's going to keep playing as long as he can regularly make SF berths at the Slams. As long as he can maintain his top 4 ranking, that should not be a problem and with Nadal such a big question mark right now I think the odds of either Tsonga, Delpo or Berdych pushing him out of the top 4 are very slim. So he'll be making SFs through 2014, I think. Then let's say his level drops in 2015 (he'll be 33ish) and fails to make a SF berth. He'll then announce that 2016 will be his farewell year and he'll play one last time in the Olympics.
[QUOTE=Mick3391;7191347]Fed reminds me of the old boxers, always going on too long. QUOTE]
Really? Wasn't he number 1 in the world recently as 2 to 3 months ago? Isn't he the reigning Wimbledon champion? Has his ranking fallen hugely...last I checked he was number 2.
Federer is a one-off there will never be another and I wouldn't consider myself and avid fan but when he retires there will be more tears shed by a lot of fans regardless of who you support.
Once his love and passion is gone and knows he cannot beat the Djokovics, Murrays or Nadal despite playing his best tennis, that's the day he will call it quits.
2016 would be a good time but I wouldn't be surprised if he retires before that.
I am not a Federer fan but I admire his tennis and have a lot of respect for what he has done for our sport!
We will miss him when he has gone so really should treasure every match he has left!
We have to be honest, he's lost a step. This doesn't mean he can't go on and win more slams!
Just expect the unexpected if it unfortunately happens.
Frustration will retire Federer
Once he loses to all 3 players at all 4 slams in a repeated fashion, he will call it quits. Which will be around 2016.
That's already happened at AO
Murray has yet to (meet) beat him at RG.
Djokovic is yet to beat him at SW19
Murray/Nadal is yet to beat him at USO.
Rather not a contemplate a depressing matter.....when he retires whether it be tomorrow or 6 year later it would suck.
Don't know when.....I hope after 2015.
I mean we have to be honest or no one will take us serious, I agree if the courts were faster he'd still be kicking butt, but they are not faster, and he's slowed. If he can get through a easy draw, and play for example like he did against anyone but the last two at the AO, he'll win more GS's, he's still got it big time, more natural talent than anyone, but not when tired.
I think he'll still be in the top 10 when he retires. Which is totally respectable. He's not stupid. He'll be able to tell if his ranking will fall drastically and will call it quits before that happens. But I agree he'll try to play till the Rio Olympics.

Top court term a difficult one for Rehnquist
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court's newly endedterm was a difficult one for Chief Justice William Rehnquist,with his health problems and a number of major rulingsrejecting the conservative legal views he has long espoused.
Soon after the term began in October, Rehnquist wasdiagnosed with thyroid cancer, raising questions about how muchlonger the 80-year-old would be able to stay on the nine-memberhigh court and speculation about who might replace him.
After undergoing a tracheotomy, radiation and chemotherapy,he eventually returned to the bench, but appeared weak and hisraspy, wheezy voice was often hard to understand.
When the term ended on Monday, Rehnquist announced that thecourt would be in recess until October and gave no word on hisfuture plans. He could retire at any time.
Rehnquist has led the court for nearly 19 years. Before hewas elevated to chief justice, he had been on the court fornearly 15 years.
The most recent term was notable for rulings rejecting themedical use of marijuana, expanding local governments' power toseize a person's home, outlawing juvenile executions and someother cases in which he voted with the dissenters.
"It was a term in which the chief justice was on the losingside of many of the ideological battles he has fought sovigorously throughout his judicial tenure," said StevenShapiro, the American Civil Liberties Union's legal director.
"The justices seemed less anxious to undermine meaningfulcivil rights enforcement, more skeptical about the deathpenalty and more willing to look at international law forwhatever guidance it can provide in resolving fundamental humanrights issues," Shapiro said.
Among issues central to the Rehnquist conservative agendahave been protecting property rights and shifting more power tothe states while restricting federal government power.
But the court, with Rehnquist in dissent, gave cities broadpowers to take a person's home or business for a developmentproject designed to revitalize a depressed local economy.
And it ruled Congress had the authority to ban thecultivation, possession and use of marijuana, and that thefederal law trumped state laws allowing the legal use ofmarijuana for medical purposes.
"The medical marijuana case indicates the limitations ofhow much he was able to accomplish," said Georgetown Universitylaw professor Mark Tushnet, who published a book on theRehnquist court this year.
"The chief justice and his allies asserted strong positionsthat would have changed constitutional law dramatically, andone or two of the allies decided each time that pushing thepositions to their conclusions would be too great a change inthe law," he said.
Rehnquist has generally supported the death penalty. Butthe court this term struck down as unconstitutional its use forjuveniles, reversing a ruling that he joined in 1989. It alsooverturned a number of death sentences.
Rehnquist was not always on the losing side during theterm.
He wrote the court's ruling that upheld as constitutional aTen Commandments granite monument, put in place in 1961, on theTexas Capitol grounds as part of a display with a number ofhistorical monuments and statues.
Rehnquist rejected arguments by opponents that the displayhad a religious intent that violated constitutionalchurch-state separation.
Washington lawyer Tom Goldstein said in his statisticalanalysis of the term that the court's conservative majority –Rehnquist and Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia,Anthony Kennedy and Clarence Thomas — stayed together in onlyfour of the 20 cases decided by a 5-4 vote.
Of those decisions, Rehnquist authored three. Goldsteinsaid Rehnquist agreed with Kennedy and O'Connor less frequentlyin the just-concluded term than in the previous one.
The more liberal members are Justices John Paul Stevens,David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Steven Breyer.
