Play: 15* Dallas plus over Houston
In their battle off the break, the Rockets showed they are very capable of winning without McGrady. However, Houston does set up this evening against a long time hated rival in the visiting Mavs. With Dallas improving on both ends of the floor, I love our chances with the barking dog. Recall, the UNDERDOG is 5-0 ATS in the series, while Dallas has covered 5 straight at Houston.

Cleveland at Milwaukee
Pick: Milwaukee +8
The Cavs are 2-0 against the Buck so far this season, with Mo Williams exacting a measure of revenge against Redd and the Bucks. Here Redd is out for the season and the Cavs could be flat here.Cleveland is off a game in Toronto in which they outshot the Raptors 58.0% to 36.5%. Ilgauskas led all scorers with 22 points. To contrast their fine shooting, Cleveland committed 20 turnovers, eight of which were steals by the Raptors. All this points to the points as the correct play. Cleveland is 0-7 ATS (-8.8 ppg) on the road after a game in which they has more than 10 refereed turnovers and 0-5 ATS on the road after a game on the road in which they shot at least 55% from the field, losing every game SU by at least 13 points. Also, Cleveland is 0-5 ATS (-14.7 ppg) a favorite with at most one day of rest after a road win in which they scored less than 10% of their points from the three-point line. The last nail in the coffin for Cleveland is the fact that they are 0-4 ATS after a win on the road in which Lebron James was NOT the Cavaliers' high scorer.The Bucks have a bunch of players who are taking advantage of their time on the court and are playing with energy. Teams like this are terrific as a significant dog, as they are underestimated by their opponent and they can get in the back door for the cover. Indeed, the last three times the Bucks were getting more than five points they won straight up. They did lost as a 1' point home dog vs the Bulls, but that was not their spot. Cleveland will just be happy with a "W" here. With the Bucks 8-0 ATS (8.2 ppg) at home with at most one day of rest after a game in which the percentage of their baskets that were assisted was at least ten percentage points lower than their season-to-date average, we'll grab the ample points.
MTi's FORECAST: Cleveland 95 MILWAUKEE 93
Re: FRIDAY PREMIUM SERVICE PLAYS
Blue Chip
I'm playing on Houston and Dallas to finish UNDER the total.
What a difference a couple hundred miles can make! Including a high-scoring (112-102) affair back on 10/30, the 'over' is a 3-0 the last three times that these teams faced each other at Dallas and 9-4 the last 13 meetings there. However, the games played here at Houston have been a different story. Including a low-scoring (96-86) affair in mid-November, the UNDER is 4-1 the last five series meetings here at Houston. Note that those five games averaged only 179 combined points and that NONE of them finished with greater than 194. In other words, all five games would have fallen below tonight's generous number. Looking back further and we find the UNDER at a profitable 11-3-2 the last 16 times that the Mavericks traveled to Houston. The Mavs exploded for 113 points last time out. However, that was against defensively- challenged New Jersey. In their previous game, facing a better defense (Boston) they managed only 92. In their most recent road game (at Utah) they managed a mere 87. The Rockets also faced New Jersey last game and also scored a lot (114) points. Note that they only managed 94 the previous game though and that was against Sacramento, one of the weaker defensive teams in the league. Additionally, note that the defense was very strong in both those games. The Rockets held the Nets to only 88 points and they limited the Kings to a mere 82. Including those results, the Rockets have held their last seven guests to 100 points or less. Looking back further and only four of the last 20 teams to travel here have topped the 100 point mark. All four of those teams (Lakers, Nuggets, Jazz, Warriors) rank in the top seven in the league in scoring, all of them above Dallas. The Mavs have seen the UNDER go 3-0 the last three times that they were listed as underdogs. They've also seen the UNDER go 9-4 the last 13 times that they played a road game with an over/under line in the 195 to 199.5 range. With Houston's divisional games averaging only 181.2 combined points, I feel that tonight's number is more than fair. *Blue Chip
I'm taking the points with CHARLOTTE.
The Bobcats come in playing with "double-revenge," having lost a pair of games vs. the Magic already this season. A closer look shows that Charlotte covered the spread in each of those games, most recently a 5-point overtime loss at Orlando on Tuesday. Both teams played the next day. The Magic got crushed at New Orleans. The Bobcats won and covered vs. the Pacers. While the Magic are now 0-3 ATS their last three games, the Bobcats are now 5-0 ATS their last five. The Bobcats have been getting healthier, recently getting back leading scorer Gerald Wallace. Note that Wallace had 25 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists last game, with coach Larry Brown commenting: "He was great tonight. Thank God we had him...." Conversely, the loss of Jameer Nelson has been negatively affecting some of the other Orlando stars. While Howard continues to put up big stats, Turkoglu and Lewis have struggled since Nelson went down. Since the injury, Turkoglu is averaging 14.3 points on 35.6 percent shooting, while Lewis is averaging 13.8 points and shooting 36.5 percent. The recent addition of Rafer Alston should prove to be a big help. However, there could easily be a bit of an adjustment period, as the veteran guard hasn't played here before. The Bobcats survived a monster game from Howard and still nearly beat the Magic at Orlando on Tuesday. It's true that the Magic have been an excellent road team - although it should be noted that their home record is better than their road mark. However, it's also true that the Bobcats are typically much better here at home. Indeed, they're 6-18 on the road but 16-14 at home, going a profitable 18-12 ATS. The Bobcats are also 25-15 ATS as underdogs. Additionally, they're an outstanding 10-1 ATS in divisional games. Desperately fighting to get back in the playoff picture, I look for them on those numbers this evening. *Annhilator
Blowout GOW
I'm laying the small number with HOUSTON.
Knowing that Tracy McGrady is out for the season, many will grab the points with the Mavericks here. I believe that will prove costly for them though. The Rockets have proven to be more than capable of winning without McGrady, going 13-6 on the season when he hasn't been in the lineup. The Rockets have also been red hot at home. Indeed, they've won five straight at the Toyota Center, and 17 of their last 20 here. On the other hand, the Mavs lost their last road game by 28 points and are a mediocre 14-13 away from Dallas on the season. While Houston is outscoring teams by a 100.4 to 92.3 margin at home, Dallas is being outscored by a 99.6 to 98.9 count on the road. The Mavs did win here back in November. However, the Rockets didn't have Yao Ming in the lineup for that game. The Rockets won by double-digits at Dallas in the game Yao played with the Chinese star delivering a 30 point and 13 rebound performance. Including that impressive effort, Yao is averaging 27.3 points and 13.3 boards in his last four games vs. Dallas. Note that Yao will be in the lineup tonight and that he's coming off another double-double, hauling in 12 rebounds and contributing 22 points vs. New Jersey. Look for the "new look" Rockets, 83-32 at home the past few seasons, to come away with the important win and cover, continuing their excellent homecourt play. *Blowout GOW
BracketBuster Blowout
I'm laying the small number with NIAGARA.
Illinois-State has been on quite the run lately. With five wins in six games, including three straight, the Redbirds have gotten all the way back into contention in the Missouri Valley Conference. With an 11-5 conference record, the Redbirds currently sit in third place, right behind Creighton and Northern Iowa, both at 12-4. That's precisely what makes this an extremely difficult scheduling spot for the Redbirds. Off all those important conference victories, they now have their two biggest games of the year, vs. Creighton and Northern Iowa, on deck. I feel that it will be very easy for them to look past Niagara and ahead to those games. While the Purple Eagles, #2 in the MAAC, also face the top team (Siena) from their conference in their next game, they have no chance of catching the Saints for the top spot, so that game arguably isn't as important as the Redbirds' next two games. I feel that the Purple Eagles, who have won an impressive 21 games, will be highly motivated to knock off a team from the MVC. Even Calvin Murphy, the greatest Purple Eagle of all time, is expected to be on hand for the big event. The Purple Eagles are 16-8 ATS as favorites. They're also an impressive 10-2 ATS in non-conference games. They're outscoring opponents by a 78-64 margin on this floor and I look for them to deliver another solid win and cover this evening. *BracketBuster Blowout

Fort Bonifacio underground war tunnel soon a tourist attraction
MANILA, Philippines—An underground war tunnel in Fort Bonifacio that will be reopened to tourism is a fitting tribute to the many unsung heroes in the military.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has welcomed the initiative of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) to transform the Fort Bonifacio Tunnel into a heritage site to honor the sacrifices of the country's long line of soldiers.
The underground passageway is located at the eastern area of what is now called Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City, which used to be part of the sprawling Army base.
The tunnel used to be the main attraction of the old Philippine Army museum and library, which have since been relocated with the conversion of a sizable portion of the military camp into a business and residential district.
AFP Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Jessie Dellosa thanked the BCDA for having the tunnel declared as a historical site and reopening it to the public.
"The dedication of this heritage site is a valuable recognition for our soldiers. We hope for the success of this endeavor so that it may benefit our country's economic growth and our people's sense of historical appreciation," he said in a statement.
He added that the tunnel's reopening was timely since the Philippine Army would be celebrating its 115th founding anniversary on March 22.
According to acknowledged military historian retired Brigadier General Restituto Aguilar, the Fort Bonifacio Tunnel was constructed almost simultaneously with what was then called Fort McKinley (now known as Fort Bonifacio) in 1910.
The camp's construction took almost a decade.
Aguilar said the camp and its structures were built before Gen. Douglas MacArthur's stint as field marshal of the Philippine Army, correcting the misconception that it was MacArthur who ordered the tunnel's construction.
Aguilar said the tunnel served as the American colonial forces' main supply depot during its battle with Filipino revolutionaries.
It was originally 2.24 kilometers long with 32 built-in chambers and two passable exits, one leading to Barangay (village) Pembo and the other to Barangay East Rembo.
At present a 730-meter-long segment of the tunnel remains intact, running under the C-5 Road with the opening near the Market! Market! commercial compound.

At the United Nations, President Barack Obama tried to square the circle of U.S. support for democracy and freedom across the Middle East with his threat to veto statehood for the Palestinians, a cause he championed just last year. In an open letter to the President, author Marc H. Ellis critiques Obama's depressing double talk.
A Christian Reflection on 9/11
The tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks stirred up some powerful and painful memories of that day and the 3,000 victims. But the Rev. Howard Bess says his Christian faith has compelled him to think also about the carnage that followed – and whether any war is "just."
Answering 'Why Do They Hate Us?'
After the 9/11 attacks when many Americans wondered "why do they hate us?" they were fed pabulum by President George W. Bush about them "hating our freedoms," as a frightened (or complicit) U.S. news media didn't dare contradict. That has left a confused American people, writes Lawrence Davidson.
Chronicling America's 9/11 Descent
The terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, sent the United States into a 10-year downward spiral, not because of the attacks themselves but because of disastrous political judgments that followed. In recognition of the tenth anniversary, we have compiled six articles by Robert Parry, chronicling this decade of descent, starting just two weeks after 9/11.
Jesus: Redistributionist-in-Chief
If Christian conservatives truly understood and accepted the teachings of Jesus, they would not be at the Tea Party barricades fighting to protect the money, power and privileges of the rich; they would be demanding what Jesus wanted, a radical redistribution of wealth and decent treatment of all, as the Rev. Howard Bess notes.
The FBI Goes Rogue
One neoconservative argument against American Muslims is that there is a correlation between mosques and FBI terror investigations. But that may be circular logic since the FBI targets mosques with paid informants trying to detect potential "lone wolves" and lure them into terrorist acts, as Lawrence Davidson observes.
Stretching Charges of Anti-Semitism
Hard-line Israeli defenders have tried to shut down protests over how the Palestinians have been treated by accusing critics of "anti-Semitism" and by labeling dissenting Jews as "self-hating." These intimidating tactics are now common on U.S. college campuses, Lawrence Davidson writes.
US/Israel Can Respect Palestinian Rights
The clock is ticking on what could be the next explosion in the Middle East, if Palestinians press their demand for United Nations recognition as a state and the United States and Israel continue to spurn this acknowledgement of Palestinian rights. But Adil E. Shamoo says this political bomb can be defused.
Explaining Why 'They Hate Us'
The big question that President George W. Bush posed after the 9/11 attacks was "why do they hate us?" followed by his ridiculous answer, "they hate our freedoms." A new book by BBC correspondent Deepak Tripathi offers a more realistic analysis, writes Marjorie Cohn.
The Myopic Madness of the GOP
Pretty much the entire field of Republican presidential candidates embraces hostility toward the federal government, driven either by religious fervor or a belief in unregulated capitalism. The GOP hopefuls are appealing to a large subset of the U.S. population that resents the modern world and the lessons of history, as Lawrence Davidson notes.

Table is set for Romney vs. Obama
Traditionally, the general election was joined in earnest right after Labor Day. Not any more – the 2012 faceoff between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney was in full swing by Memorial Day.
Romney's route to the Republican presidential nomination was unprecedented: At different points in the process he trailed, in order, Donald Trump, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum.
One by one, Romney reeled in the pretenders, as his opponents proved themselves underfunded or unready for the rigors of a national campaign. Now he faces an incumbent president who is most definitely ready, and who has been preparing to run against him for more than a year.
With five months before the election, the race is a virtual dead heat. Much will happen between now and Nov. 6, but this feels like it will remain a close contest. Each major political party will hold its convention – the Republicans in Tampa, the Democrats in Charlotte – where the host party will try to thread the same needle: solidify the support of their base while somehow appealing to independent-minded voters, many of them centrists.
It's a neat trick, which is part of the reason Obama was the first Democrat since Lyndon Johnson to win an outright majority of the popular vote. Can he do it again? Or will Obama be the third president out of the last six to fail to win a second term?
Crystal balls are hard to come by (and if you have one save it for when the horses come to Del Mar), but three benchmarks will determine November's winner.
Staging a Successful Convention: Obama enjoys a unified, if restive, Democratic base. Although his support among activists is solid, the Democrats' Charlotte confab will highlight NASCAR, the president's decision to order the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, and – hopefully – better economic news.
Yet the president's decision to tepidly embrace gay marriage will be an incongruous backdrop in North Carolina, a state that recently voted overwhelmingly in opposition to same-sex nuptials.
For their part, Republicans will use their four-day Florida pageant to shine the spotlight on one issue: the stubbornly high unemployment rate that has bedeviled the Obama presidency from his first day on the job.
"He doesn't want to run on his record," one top Romney aide told me. "But we're happy to do it." Demographics: Four years ago, Obama won the presidency with the positive-sounding promise of "hope and change." This call resonated especially with African Americans, Latinos, and a young generation of "Millennials."
In 2012, the White House is trying to get the band back together, along with traditional Democratic Party constituencies: liberals, feminists, organized labor, gay rights activists. But instead of an optimistic, high-altitude appeal, Obama is offering each group specific policy remedies Romney is not.
Latinos are told that Obama's Justice Department challenged Arizona over its anti-illegal immigration law. Women's groups are reminded that the Affordable Care Act requires contraception be included in federally mandated health insurance. College students are promised help in keeping low-rate student loans. The gay and lesbian community is reminded that Obama recently endorsed same-sex marriage.

MMG donates $25,000 for NMCC wellness and student center project
AROOSTOOK COUNTY- MMG Insurance has continued its tradition of support both for the local community and for Northern Maine Community College with a $25,000 donation in support of the college's new wellness and student center project.
"MMG has been a corporate friend of the college and of the local community for many years," said Timothy Crowley, NMCC president. "Not only have they provided financial support for this project and our previous major gifts campaign, but, just as importantly, they have demonstrated their belief in the quality of what we do by hiring NMCC graduates. MMG personnel have also provided invaluable support over the years by serving on college committees and boards."
The college will be breaking ground this spring on a 10,000-square-foot addition to the Christie Building which will house the Rodney Smith Wellness Center, a facility that will benefit both the NMCC campus and members of surrounding communities. Work began this month to prepare for construction on existing space in the Christie and Martin Buildings for the new Akeley Student Center. The space will be a gathering spot for students to socialize, do homework, and access services such as the health center.
"MMG is pleased to be a part of this project," said Larry Shaw, MMG Insurance president and CEO. "Our support is driven by the importance of Northern Maine Community College's contribution to the workforce of our company and The County overall. We have many graduates who currently work at MMG, and we also utilize the college's expertise from time to time for specific training needs. The added capabilities of NMCC's expansion and its focus on wellness will benefit the Aroostook County region for years to come."
This isn't the first time that the company has provided financial resources to help the college and support the educational efforts of students. MMG donated funds in 2007 to the Campaign for the County's College, a major gifts campaign which took place through the NMCC Foundation. The donation was used to transform a classroom area in the Christie Building into the MMG Insurance Business Technology Classroom. The renovation included an upgrade of furnishings, wall and floor coverings, lighting, ventilation and technology to replicate, to the extent possible, a modern business office environment.
The company has also endowed a scholarship through the NMCC Foundation. The George W. Scott/Maine Mutual Scholarship is awarded each fall to a student in the business technology department.
MMG Insurance is a property and casualty insurer founded in 1897. The company is based in Presque Isle and has over 110,000 policyholders throughout the States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Its products are sold and serviced in partnership with 164 independent agencies located in over 400 offices throughout its five states of operation.
MMG has earned a number of honors in recent years for both their professional performance and their corporate attitude. Among other awards, the company was named Company of the Year for the past three years by the Maine Insurance Agents Association. They were also ranked fourth in the Best Places to Work in Maine in 2011 and in the top five nationwide for ease of doing business by a Deep Customer Connections survey of 7,800 insurance agents.

Cities are for People: Turning Underused Spaces into Public Places
It begins with a fundamental premise: Buildings occupy only a fraction of land in cities. Just as important as physical structures, are the public spaces in between.
In many cities these spaces have long been disregarded. Today, however, we are witnessing bold experimentation and innovation coming forth from cities across the globe: cities re-using and re-imagining previously underused spaces in order to uplift communities and transform lives.

Winners Announced for 2013 Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design
The Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) has announced the 11th Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design award winners: Eduardo Souto de Moura's Metro do Porto in Porto, Portugal, and the Northeastern Urban Integration Project in Medellín, Colombia.
When commenting on the significance of the two prize-winning projects, jury member Micahel Sorkin stated: "If there are lessons to be drawn for urban design from Medellín and Porto, I think the broader lesson has to do with the disruption of the segregation of the disciplines in the design field. Historically we have understood that Landscape Architecture sits in one place, Architecture in another, and Urban Design and Planning [in another, with all three disciplines] in constant conflict about their territorial rights. One of the things that is revolutionary about the Medellín project is that distinguishing among the disciplines is no longer possible."

OMA Selected to Masterplan New Civic Center in Colombia
OMA (NY), along with local collaborators Gomez + Castro Arquitectos, has been selected to masterplan the Bogotá Centro Administrativo Nacional (CAN) in Colombia, a mixed-use civic center roughly the size of Washington DC's National Mall. Located at the midpoint of Calle 26 Avenue, the city's main axis that has symbolically charted its growth from the historic downtown to the airport and the international gateway of Colombia, CAN will serve as a new city center and government headquarters with additional programs of residential, educational, retail and cultural developments.
Shohei Shigematsu, director-in-charge of OMA New York, commented, "Our proposal enables CAN to be a lively node, providing a continuous public domain that curves through the site to connect the park, the university and Calle 26. With a single gesture, the arc achieves a clear urban identity while accommodating programmatic diversity."
Urban Current[s] Competition Entry / L+CC + Taller 301 + openfabric
A conceptual framework for the development of the city of Medellin, the Urban Current[s] competition proposal by L+CC (Land+Civilization Compositions), Taller 301, and openfabric considers it important to think of the river territory beyond a simple design of public space. Instead, this is seen as the opportunity to re-structure and establish a framework for the future development of Medellín. Their approach creates new principles for the development of the city by using all available resources (natural, social, economic, political, and cultural) to link the city with its history, its ecology, and the movement of people in the territory.

24.02.05 - By Frank Maloney: So far this year we've seen the first of the big fights between a super champion and challenger ending in victory for the champion, in this case Bernard Hopkins decisioning Howard Eastman in Los Angels last weekend. I never watched the fight because I always felt it was going to be a one horse race. The post fight reports I've read in the paper confirmed my hunch. Eastman is now screaming that Hopkins ran away from him, but isn't Hopkins the champion? It's up to him to fight his type of fight and for the challenger to rise up and take the title. When you get the opportunity to fight for a world title you have to put everything on the line. In all likelihood, you'll only get one opportunity in your career and you must grab it with both hands. Howard Eastman was fortunate enough to have had two such opportunities in his career but has let both slip through his grasp..
I worked with Howard for a long time, and I can tell you that he didn't lose those fights because he's a bad fighter. On the contrary, but Howard likes to fight at a certain pace and tries to dictate the action according to that pace. Unfortunately, world class fighters like Hopkins and William Joppy won't let you do that, so you must have a plan B. Howard Eastman didn't have a plan B and he also didn't risk laying everything on the line. He was fortunate to have a second opportunity at a world title but we all know that third chances are awfully hard to come by in this unforgiving business.
A few weeks ago we saw Scott Harrison get a draw in a fight that many people may have thought he lost. Regardless of whether you thought Scott won or lost his tile defense against Victor Polo, one thing you can say about Harrison is that he stepped his efforts up and rose to the occasion when he was told that everything was one the line in the last round. Despite suffering bad facial damage he went to work and you can honestly say he put everything on the line. Through sheer force of will and effort in the 12th, Scott managed to secure a draw and at the same time retain his title. This proves beyond all doubt that Scott Harrison has the heart of a champion.
There was talk of Scott meeting Juan Manuel Marquez this spring, but unfortunately we were unable to come to terms. I've read many comments by fight fans on web site forums where they say things such as "why shouldn't Scott take less money?" I would honestly like to ask people out there if they were offered less money to continue doing the job they're doing now, would they agree to that? Scott Harrison has a contract and in that contract, it stipulates that he earns a specific amount of money per fight. I asked, on the exchange rate, for Top Rank to match what we had in that contract. They were unable to do so due to their deal with Marquez.
Why should I put my man in for a lot less when he also holds a version of the world title? I can already hear the anoraks screaming that Scott's getting a chance. Scott Harrison doesn't need to get a chance. He has already proved himself and every time a fighter steps into the ring he puts his career and life on the line. It is the job of a fighter's manager to get him as much as possible for a fight and under the most favorable terms. Soon there will be a press conference where we'll announce that Harrison will fight at the end of May or in June. Marquez will fight someone else while Top Rank and myself have agreed to talk at a later date to see if we can get nearer the financial figures that both fighters want for this fight.
If I had taken the Marquez fight based on what was offered I would not be doing my job as Scott's manager. I've had many rows since turning this down but I will not change my stance. My job is to protect my fighter and get them what they think they deserve along with what I believe they deserve. This is no different than the case of Injin Chi turning down the offer we made to him to fight Scott. And let me say the offer we made to Chi was a lot higher than the offer made to us to fight Marquez. I am confident we will get a big fight for Harrison before the end of the year and in the meantime we will watch the featherweight division with great interest.
Here in Britain, the other night Maloney Promotions brought back the exciting former WBU and Commonwealth Light Heavyweight champion Tony Oakey. It was his first fight in 16 months and he came through a couple of sticky patches to record a 5th round stoppage. Because of his inactivity, Oakey is still 3 or 4 fights away from the level he was at before he was banned from the sport but time is not on his side. I was a little bit disappointed in the shape in which he came into the ring and if Tony really wants to get back to the top he's got to dedicate himself over the next year or he will get left behind. There are a number of good fights out there for him but he's not ready for them at the moment. He will be out again on April 15th in Portsmouth and I look forward to seeing him better prepared for the hard work ahead.
But I will say this; there is something magic about an Oakey night in Portsmouth. Unless you experience it first hand you'll never understand just what it's like. The crowd generates a certain excitement, a certain hysteria and a certain mystique. They can be very hostile towards the opponent, which obviously works to Tony Oakey's advantage, but to hear them sing their theme song, the Oakey Kokey, it makes you realize that boxing is much like a theater with blood.
Speaking of an audience getting behind a fighter, or not, as may be in this case, on the same bill as Howard Eastman's title challenge was Junior Witter, a fighter who many British fans can't make up their mind about. He went over to America but I'm lead to believe that he wasn't even shown on the HBO telecast. Witter didn't do a lot to excite the British television audience and I am sure that knowing the Americans as I do, they won't take to his style either. In the near future, Junior may find himself on the undercard of quite a few Golden Boy Promotion fights, but the interesting matchup for him down the road will be a contest with Arturo Gatti. Although it remains to be seen if that fight can be made, I know who will be getting the short end of the purse during those negotiations.

Ladies, brace yourselves: It's not true.
Your femininity is not protecting you from receiving tickets on Wisconsin interstates and highways.
Women and men actually receive the same proportion of tickets compared with warnings when pulled over by Wisconsin State Patrol officers.
But here's the good news for Cheeseheads, ladies and gents alike:
Those Illinois drivers got slapped with tickets a higher percentage of the time. One possible reason? In general, they were driving faster.
That's according to an analysis of more than 150,000 citations and warnings issued by the Wisconsin State Patrol in 2008.
Public Investigator requested the data to get a closer look at who receives tickets and warnings on Wisconsin roads.
State Patrol officials say the decision to cite or warn a driver can be subjective.
"The ultimate decision goes with the trooper," said Inspector David Harvey of the Wisconsin State Patrol, noting that speeding in a 30-mph zone with bicyclists around could be considered more dangerous than speeding on a rural road.
Public Investigator asked for the data to examine the State Patrol's trends in ticketing drivers based on race and other factors. But the data provides an incomplete picture on race.
Black drivers from Wisconsin, for instance, received a speeding ticket a higher percentage of the time when they were stopped than whites did - about 10.5 percentage points more.
Nearly 30 times more whites than blacks were issued either a citation or a warning, but proportionately, white drivers were more likely to get off with a warning.
But black drivers were recorded speeding at faster speeds than whites. Those higher speeds are more likely to earn a ticket than a warning, experts say.
For example, 26% of blacks from Wisconsin who were cited were going at least 21 mph over the speed limit, according to state records. Only 11% of white drivers who were ticketed were going that fast.
When state troopers issue warnings, they don't log how much over the limit drivers were going at the time. So it's impossible to compare whether race makes any difference in drivers getting tickets or warnings at the same speeds.
"You need to get data that has some sort of benchmark," said John Lamberth, an expert in conducting racial profiling studies.
As of now, that data doesn't exist for many of the state's law enforcement agencies, even though lawmakers and community leaders have recommended for nearly a decade that it be collected.
Lamberth said agencies often don't know the appropriate data to collect, don't have the money to collect it or are stymied by political agendas that won't allow certain information to be gathered.
In June, Gov. Jim Doyle signed into law a provision that requires more data collection to check for racial profiling.
Maj. Darren Price, with the Wisconsin State Patrol, said the agency is looking to capture more data so that it can better analyze trends. The department still investigates the few complaints that it gets about racial profiling, he said.
"We're not shy about it," he said.
Illinois drivers ticketed
No one likes to see the red and blue lights flashing in their rearview mirror. While law enforcement officials acknowledge there's a certain amount of subjectivity to their ticketing, they insist they're not out to get anyone.
Many drivers, however, disagree.
Elaine Graf of Aurora, Ill., said she was pulled over and ticketed on I-94 last August for driving 11 miles over the speed limit.
While she admits she was speeding, Graf said all the other drivers around her were too. She thinks her Illinois plates might have made her stick out.
"I wasn't going 11 miles over the speed limit all by myself," she said.
Price, with the State Patrol, said out-of-state drivers might have a higher proportion of tickets than warnings because they are used to driving a certain way in their own state and enforcement varies from state-to-state.
Public Investigator found that about 60% of Illinois drivers received tickets instead of warnings in 2008, compared with about 40% of Wisconsin drivers who were cited.As it turns out, Illinois drivers seem to be going faster than Wisconsin drivers.
About 20% of Illinois drivers who were ticketed were driving at least 21 mph over the speed limit, compared with about 8% of Wisconsin drivers who were ticketed for driving those extreme speeds.
Wisconsin drivers also might be conditioned not to speed.
Price said that Wisconsin has much higher fines than many other states, which out-of-towners might not expect. Wisconsinites, however, might already know fines are steep and slow down accordingly.
Erica Gunther, of Cullom, Ill., said she was stunned when she received a ticket last June for at least $250. Gunther said she was driving only about 8 mph over the speed limit, but a State Patrol trooper recorded her driving 12 mph over the limit in a 65-mph zone.
Gunther said she wouldn't have gotten pulled over in Illinois for going that fast, but had she known Wisconsin troopers were so strict, she would have taken precautions.
"I would have at least set the cruise control," she said.
Price said Wisconsinites might also be extra cautious about speeding because they don't want to rack up points against their license. Out-of-state drivers don't necessarily have to worry about losing points in their home state if they get a ticket in Wisconsin because the points don't transfer over.
He dismissed the idea that troopers would pull over an out-of-state driver just for being an outsider.
"We don't know we are stopping an Illinois driver until we stop them or pull up behind them to stop them," he said.
And what about the ladies?
While it's true that more men are stopped overall - they have nearly double the amount of warnings and citations compared with women - the sexes both got off with just warnings 57% of the time.
Cassandra Amdahl, a 20-year-old student at UW-Milwaukee, said her friends who are guys wouldn't buy the statistics.
Amdahl said she's been pulled over at least 15 times and has gotten only three tickets.
"I don't know why they seem to let me go so much," she said.

Medline ® Abstract for Reference 5
of 'Overview of hepatitis B virus infection in children'
Acute hepatitis B virus infection: relation of age to the clinical expression of disease and subsequent development of the carrier state.
McMahon BJ, Alward WL, Hall DB, Heyward WL, Bender TR, Francis DP, Maynard JE
J Infect Dis. 1985;151(4):599.
Yupik Eskimos of southwestern Alaska have the highest known prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection of any general population in the United States. Prospective serological surveys of 1,280 seronegative Yupik Eskimos, performed between 1971 and 1976, identified 189 (14.8%) who developed serological evidence of hepatitis B virus infection. Twenty-six (13.8%) developed clinical hepatitis during the interval when seroconversion occurred. The proportion of patients with clinically apparent hepatitis increased with age (P less than .01), ranging from 9.5% of infections in patients who were four years of age or less to 33.3% of infections in patients who were 30 years of age or older. Twenty-five (13.3%) of the 188 individuals who were studied became chronic carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen. The risk of becoming a carrier was inversely related to the age of the patient at the time of infection (P = .02). Among patients who were four years of age or less when infected, 28.8% became chronic carriers of hepatitis B, as compared with 7.7% of those who were 30 years of age or older.


text: Working Paper | HBS Working Paper Series | 2014 Integrated Reporting and Investor Clientele George Serafeim In this paper, I examine the relation between Integrated Reporting (IR) and the composition of a firm's investor base. I hypothesize and find that firms that practice IR have a more long-term oriented investor base with more dedicated and fewer transient investors. This result is more pronounced for firms with high growth opportunities, not controlled by a family, operating in "sin" industries, and exhibiting more stable IR practice over time. I find that the results are robust to the inclusion of firm fixed effects, controls for the quantity of sustainability disclosure, and alternative ways of measuring IR. Moreover, I show that investor activism on environmental or social issues or a large number of concerns about a firm's environmental or social impact leads a firm to practice more IR and that this investor or crisis-induced IR affects the composition of a firm's investor base.

wtf fuck brock got the most what bs and and emerson got alot also fuck that fake ass gang banger
Yeah, I think Brock was overpaid. If he would have won, he would have had close to a Chuck Liddell payday. He's no Chuck Liddell.
I hope Emerson gets robbed for that money. Getting shot in the process wouldn't hurt my feelings either.
Haha im sure karma wont mind that little tid bit Joe lol…but i have to agree that emerson is a pussy witha doorag who cals himself a badass fighter…Brock gt paid the most cause he is a huge name and i cant argue with that pay check…what i do argue tho is that people like diego sancez and gabriael gonzaga should be making around 150 K a fight instead of the bullshit 85K they get…Dana white is the stingiest mother fucker on the planet
brock made more than the guy who beat him thats crazy
Who bought this UFC because of Brock? I know I did, it wasn't to watch Tim Silvia thats for sure. Brock is going to make the UFC a lot of money and thats why he gets paid well. I don't argue that. What I hate is the bottom people who have put in a lot of work to get to the UFC and are getting a few grand in return. Eastman, Martin, Lytle…we've seen them fight a few times already in the UFC. I think if they are asked to come back so many times that maybe they should get paid more.
wtf. brock got paid like 3x more than mir! bullshit! and that's crazy that nog got paid that much too, considering sylvia (although he sucks) has been with the ufc for that long.
Man almost a 1/2 Million to a guy for only his 2nd Professional MMA fight?!?!?
I really want to know what kind of money the UFC thinks they made off Brock Lesnar. Im sure he brings some WWE/ECW fans with him but jesus he can't be as popular as a Stone Cold or even hell the Rock back in there day.
Meanwhile Mir barely gets 100K to fight and win. A shame how Veteran Professional fighters get paided a fraction of what an Amatuer/Rookie gets even if hes the most popular thing since sliced bread he still should have to earn his way up the pay ladder like most fighters.
you have to respect brock tho brock was makin millions a year with the wwe and he left it all for a lot les money just so he could really fight. i respect the hell outta brock
yeah i agree with that dane. i don't think he was there just for the payday, he looked genuinely disappointed in himself when he lost. he was working hard to get that win and be exciting. i think in his next fight he will come back and look very good.
as far as him not being popular in the wwe. i remember that he was a fan favorite and was the cover of video games and magazines. fans really liked him and even though he wasn't around as long as the rock or stone cold, he was just as entertaining in the ring. aside from that, you cant beat the rock and stone cold, those guys were entertaining everywhere.
Thats bullshit man Brock will never be the Iceman, thats why the UFC sucks. Brock doesn't sell out seats maybe in the fake ass WWE not in MMA, Mr. Dana White. Why pay him more than a real MMA fighter, in that case why not bring HULK HOGAN and STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN, Dana you dumb ass. Frank Mir deserved way more than that, Frank go some where else where they appreciate real MMA fighters dude, it seems UFC just want to be a circus of clowns.
and by the way that card sucked if it wasn't for Nogueira, and Mir. As always you suck Dana.
Look Brock is a name already, not a no name. Plus he pulls in the 12-16 age group crossing over to MMA for the first time.
Hulk hogan is a has-been and not a real fighter. Lesnar
was a top wrestler and did put a beating on Mir.
He made a stupid mistake, but was close to winning.
He should have defended from the ground and kept pounding, and not stood up and hung his legs out there for so long.

Vastus intermedius
Muscles in the human body serve to force movement in the body. The vastus intermedius muscle is located along the upper portion of the femur, which is also known as the thigh bone. The muscle covers the front part of the femur and the side of the femur. It is directly underneath and ends at the rectus femoris muscle, which is part of the quadriceps. The muscle is closely related to the vastus medialis muscle and may look attached to that muscle. When the rectus femoris flexes, a small area is visible between the two muscles. The two muscles move in a continuous line, but each is a separate muscle. It is hard to stretch the muscle because of its location in the quadriceps. Hip extension exercises fail to work the muscle and massage therapy cannot reach the muscle. Patients with vastus intermedius muscle strain or other problems may require special surgery to repair the damage or exercises to slowly work out any strains.

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|Collectables' Roger Miller collection At His Best does include many of his best, most popular songs like "King of the Road," "Dang Me," "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd," and "Engine, Engine #9." At only 11 tracks, though, there doesn't seem to be enough room for classics like "Do-Wacka-Do," "Chug-a-Lug," and "England Swings." Instead, the compilers have inserted more serious ballads like "Me and Bobby McGee," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," and "Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)," which weren't Miller's strong suit at all. Perhaps this was done to show Miller as a multidimensional artist who didn't just do novelty-type tunes, and that is an understandable impulse. Still, a collection titled At His Best and as short as this really should deliver the best and not try to paint a complete portrait of the artist. There are collections that have more tracks for not much more money; look for those instead. [The Collectables release is a reissue of the 1995 PSM collection with a different cover and a reshuffled running order.] ~ Tim Sendra

Texas AG Accepts Redistricting Voting Map
SAN ANTONIO — The Texas attorney general has accepted a deal on temporary voting maps that could salvage the state's April 3 date for primary elections. In a statement released today, Attorney General Greg Abbott said that seven minority groups agreed to a plan that minimizes changes to the original redistricting maps drafted by the GOP-controlled Legislature. Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar's lawyer tells The Associated Press the plan gives Texas two new Hispanic congressional seats. But at least one major minority group isn't on board. Attorney Luis Vera of the League of United Latin American Citizens says the new plan "means absolutely nothing." A federal court gave the state and minority groups until Monday to reach a compromise, or see the primaries pushed back for a second time. The groups said the original plan was discriminatory.
WASHINGTON – There were less people out of work in January, dropping the unemployment rate to 8.3 percent, the lowest in nearly three years. The economy created 243,000 jobs last month, the most in nine months. Employers have added an average of 201,000 jobs per month in the past three months. More jobs and higher incomes should help consumers boost spending and increase economic growth.
TYLER -- Three suspects, including a local standout high school football player, have been arrested for shooting several people with blow darts.
TYLER -- Tyler Police have released a surveillance photo of the man suspected of robbing a woman of her purse and then knocking her to the ground. Officers responded to the East Texas Medical Center parking garage Sunday night where 63-year-old Shirley Steelman of Kilgore was walking to the entrance of the garage and was approached by the suspect. Police say the suspect who had a weapon stole the purse and knocked Steelman down and fled on foot. The victim suffered a broken arm during the aggravated robbery. The vicitm's purse was recovered by police a few blocks from the garage. The suspect was last seen running east bound from ETMC. The investigation continues at this time.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy grew at a modest 2.8 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter of last year. The Commerce Department says Americans spent more on cars and trucks, and companies built up stockpiles. Consumer spending was up from October through December of 2011, it grew at a 2 percent annual rate, that's up modestly from the third quarter. But growth was held back by the biggest annual government spending cuts in four decades. For the full year, the economy grew just 1.7 percent, about half as much as 2010.
LOS ANGELES — A private research firm is reporting that foreclosures were a smaller share of all U.S. homes sold in last year's third quarter. RealtyTrac cites delays by banks in putting properties on sale and slower home sales. Even with the decline, foreclosures still made up 20 percent of total homes sold in the July through September period.

With swanky, high-rise buildings replacing old landmarks, Tondiarpet wears a new look. But behind all this glitz lies a neighbourhood whose basic issues are still unresolved, writes Serena Josephine. M
With a raft of high-rise apartment complexes coming up in recent times, the Tondiarpet skyline has undergone a transformation.
As part of the locality's changing profile, an impressive number of multi-specialty hospitals have also sprung up. Some of these new entities serve as landmarks, having replacing old ones.
The most conspicuous example is the Apollo Hospitals, located on the Tiruvottiyur High Road as it cuts through Tondiarpet. The tall building of this corporate hospital has become a landmark, nudging another out in the process. Communicable Diseases Hospital (CDH), standing bang opposite the Apollo Hospitals, figure frequently as before. Interestingly, in keeping with the times, CDH has got itself a new building and looks modern.
Residents still don't notice any dramatic change in the civic situation, but are happy with the new landmarks, which essentially suggest improvements in the housing and health sector. One of the few north Chennai localities to witness development in the area of health, Tondiarpet has a slew of hospitals in both the government and private health sector.
CDH and the Government Peripheral Hospital, Tondiarpet in the government sector and Apollo Hospitals and few other health centres in the private sector enable easy access to healthcare for residents.
The quality of the hospitals in the Government sector has considerably improved. In December 2012, a modern building at CDH was inaugurated. According to residents, this new facility has increased efficiency.
Improvement in health infrastructure and rise in sprawling gated communities might have given Tondiarpet a downtown character, but the neighbourhood still faces acute civic issues. "Drinking water supply is still poor for several areas in Tondiarpet. We are still facing plenty of difficulties to get regular water supply," says Gopal, a resident of Tondiarpet.
An auto driver pointed out that traffic congestion continues to haunt Tondiarpet. "The area has developed in a few ways and remains the same in several others. Basic amenities including drinking water supply need to improve," a shopkeeper on T.H. Road points out.
Lakshmi, another resident, says the condition of the interior roads is pathetic.

Guideline adherence and patient satisfaction in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disorders – an evaluation study

BMC Health Services Research 2009, 9:17 doi:10.1186/1472-6963-9-17Published: 27 January 2009
Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the most frequent inflammatory bowel disorders (IBD). IBD cause a significant burden to society due to extensive health care utilization from the first clinical symptoms until diagnosis and thereafter due to direct and indirect costs. Besides the socio-economic impact of CD and UC, gastrointestinal and extraintestinal symptoms affect quality of life, but there is remarkably little data about the quality of treatment as assessed by patient satisfaction, quality of life and adherence to guidelines. Thus the aim of this study was to identify variables that influence quality of treatment and quality of life as well as patient satisfaction.
The Essener Zirkel Study was a cross sectional study of 86 IBD-patients with a confirmed diagnosis of CD or UC. They were recruited at primary, secondary and tertiary care settings. Quality of treatment, quality of life and patient satisfaction were evaluated. Consulting behaviour and number of examinations, duration of disease and variables regarding adherence to guidelines were evaluated, too.
59 (69%) patients had CD and 27 had UC (31%). 19% spent more than four years until the suspected diagnosis of IBD was confirmed and visited more than five physicians. All patients showed a significantly reduced quality of life compared to the 1998 German normative population. In spite of being under medical treatment, nearly half of the patients suffered from strong quality of life restricting symptoms. Over all, 35% described their treatment as moderate or bad. Patients who consulted psychotherapists and non-medical practitioners suffered significantly less from depression.
Besides structural deficiencies due to the health care policy, we revealed the adherence to guidelines to be a problem area. Our findings support the assumption, that providing better health care and especially maintaining constant patient-physician communication improves patient satisfaction.

|So it appears that Lovers Leap has a NW aspect. Am I seeing this right? Just trying to figure out what kind of shade it might receive at what times of day? I'm here visiting in Reno for a couple weeks, and it's 100 degree weather here. Will the Leap be too hot? Any recommendations are appreciated.

|The Leap has lots of shade. Usually when the temps are in the 100's in Reno or the Central Valley the Leap stays at a decent 80-85 degrees. There is an occasional heat wave that may make it a bit warm but that's the exception. Should be nice, lots of shade.... Go!

I was there about two week ago. Weather was in the 90's so tried to climb in the shade.
I certainly felt the elevation, after not doing much cardio in a while.

North Korea may be preparing nuclear bomb test: report
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – North Korea may be preparing an
underground test of a nuclear bomb, ABC News reported on
Thursday, but U.S. officials told Reuters they had no new
evidence of such a plan.
ABC quoted an unnamed senior military official as saying a
U.S. intelligence agency had recently observed "suspicious
vehicle movement" at a suspected North Korean test site.
A senior State Department official, who was also not
identified, told the network, "It is the view of the
intelligence community that a test is a real possibility."
Asked about the report, a senior U.S. official told
Reuters: "We have no new evidence to support that." Another
official, who also declined to be identified, said there was no
indication of a threat in the near term.
South Korean government officials had no comment on the
State Department spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos declined any
comment on "intelligence-related matters" but said the world
needed to remain vigilant in preventing such a test.
"A North Korean nuclear test would be an extremely
provocative action that would draw universal condemnation from
the international community. We continue to consult with
friends and allies," said Gallegos.
ABC reported the activity at the suspected test site
included the unloading of large reels of cable outside an
underground facility called Pungyee-yok in northeast North
It said cables can be used in nuclear testing to connect an
underground test site to outside observation equipment. The
intelligence was brought to the attention of the White House
last week, the report said.
Fears about North Korea's nuclear ambitions were heightened
when Pyongyang defied international warnings and fired seven
missiles into waters east of the Korean peninsula on July 5.
The United Nations Security Council passed a resolution
condemning the launches.
North Korea declared itself a nuclear power in February
2005 without testing. Talks on ending its nuclear program among
the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States have
been stalled since November.
Daniel Pinkston, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation
Program at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey,
California, said North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has bluffed in
the past to get U.S. attention.
Last year, activity at suspected North Korean test sites
led some analysts to believe the secretive state was preparing
to test a nuclear device, but nothing happened.
In 1998, U.S. spy satellites detected a flurry of activity
at an underground site at Kumchangri in North Korea designed to
hold a plutonium reprocessing reactor.
But Pinkston said that North Korea was "very unhappy" about
the U.N. resolution following Pyongyang's July 5 missile tests
and might want to show that "under pressure and in an
atmosphere of hostility they won't disarm."
"It's much more likely now that Kim would want to have the
option (of testing) available," he said by telephone.

Bought this tent for my girlfriend and I to camp in at music festivals. Fit perfect in the back of my truck, even with the rails for an Access tonneau cover still on. Directions provided are simple. Tent has color coded rods and pockets. My only suggestion would be if you have a truck that sits a little higher, you may want to look into a small step stool, or a extendable hitch step to help you get in and out.

Chad, I did not like your comment that I "had more guts then sense" You have the story all wrong. My boom broke in a storm off the coast of South Africa, near Richards Bay and I made a temporary fix there and sailed to Durban, for repairs. That's only an overnight sail. The trip you are talking about,is the one I made from Costa Rica to Honolulu (not with a broken boom) It did not take 45 days, it took 52 days. that's 4800 nautical miles in 52 days which is not too bad considering a small cruising boat should average about 100 nautical miles a day. that's only 4 days over the average.
The next time you feel compelled to make a comment about me, please contact me at,
And I will help you get the story straight.

Nick Canepa: 'Money' talks in conference shake-ups
The dominoes were lined up, but a Texas-sized piece refused to go down. And so what promised to be the greatest conflagration in amateur American athletics since MacArthur stepped in and doused the NCAA-vs.-AAU inferno came to a smoldering halt after a roaring start.
If we didn't know it before — and we can't be that naive, can we? — we know it now. Money is the best fire retardant.
Remember the wise words of "Deep Throat." Follow the money. Economics drove the vicious game of musical chairs recently played out by the most prosperous collegiate conferences. And the last universities to find seats got their wallets stuffed.
"Money," San Diego State Athletic Director Jim Sterk says dreamily. "Yeah."
No other reason. What, you think this is going to help student-athletes' GPAs?
Nebraska left the Big 12 for the Big Ten, the richest conference. The Pac-10, with the loftiest of ambitions, pulled Colorado from the Big 12, hoping to use the Buffalos as chum to also lure the huge University of Texas franchise, along with Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Texas A&M.
It appeared almost certain to happen, leaving the Big 12 in ruins and possibly aiding the Mountain West, SDSU's conference, with other Big 12 refugees such as Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Iowa State and Baylor possibly hopping on the MWC's lifeboat. But, at the eleventh hour, Texas, the skate key to this roller derby, called off the jam when an offer it couldn't refuse was thrown at its feet.
Big 12 Commissioner Don Beebe came up with a new TV deal that will pay the Longhorns $20 million to $25 million per year, with its other conference chums receiving a paltry $14 million to $17 million.
And we wonder why universities cheat. Chump change, this is not.
The Mountain West already had added a powerful football force in Boise State and still appeared to be sitting pretty. But the Pac-10, now desperate, swooped in and grabbed Utah and its fine all-around program, reducing the MWC back to nine schools almost as quickly as it had added a 10th.
Superficially, it appears the loss of Utah will damage the Mountain West's chances of becoming one of the big-shot BCS football conferences. I don't think it's going to help. But Sterk, the Aztecs' latest AD, who arrived not long ago from the Pac-10's Washington State, doesn't necessarily believe it's so.
"I'm looking at it from where we were a week ago, and I think we're going to be stronger than we were," Sterk says. "We've kept the Utah market (BYU) and added Boise State, which, in the BCS formula, is a better value than Utah. We didn't want to lose Utah, but if you look at it from a BCS standpoint, we're stronger."
For certain, Boise State can't match the overall athletic excellence of Utah's program, but this has nothing to do with the overall excellence of programs. It has to do with football. Football is the provider. Why, do you suppose, the Pac-10 didn't want Kansas and Kansas State? Why did the Big 10 want Nebraska?

Kornbread ft. Bishop Lamont - I Know
Artist: Kornbread
Featuring: Bishop Lamont
Producer: J. Bizness
Album: Superlative
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 3 votes )
There are few ceretainties in life, but anyone who's been on his hustle as long as SoCal rhymesayer Kornbread is bound to have picked up a little knowledge, wisdom and understanding along the way. On new single and debut DJBooth feature I Know, the up-and-comer shares a few of his observations, painting an apocalyptic lyrical picture of the 'hood life over project collaborator J Bizness' ominous street boardwork. Fellow Los Angeles repper Bishop Lamont brings the joint's political subtext into the foreground on the final verse, spitting, "Capitalism is the greatest killer / It's cataclysmic what these devils do to get they scrilla." J.R. Griffin ties the package together with some gritty official visuals. Superlative has yet to be assigned a drop date but, as always, we'll keep you supplied with the latest news and tunes.
