LAS VEGAS, NV (January 14, 2006) -- Fight week is finally here! Undefeated two-division world champion RICKY "HITMAN" HATTON, making his Las Vegas debut after 41 bouts as a professional, has already put in a full week of sparring in Sin City, while undefeated IBF junior welterweight champion JUAN "IRON TWIN" URANGO, making his first title defense, is scheduled to break camp this morning and arrive later today. Urango and Hatton go toe-to-toe, This Saturday! January 20, at Paris Las Vegas.. Combined, Hatton and Urango have an incredible record of 58 victories - 0 losses - 1 draw, 43 KOs. An undefeated record is impressive enough, but factor in that 74% of their opponents fail to hear the final bell and you have dynamite in the ring!
Over 2,000 die-hard Hatton fans in England have purchased tickets to the fight -- so far, promising the biggest British invasion on U.S. soil since they marched into Washington, D.C. during the War of 1812 (a.k.a. United States vs. England, the rematch!) With a complete sellout projected, the only question is will Hatton, from Manchester, England, make Urango, from Monteria, Colombia, sing "Blue Moon" in surrender or will Urango successfully defend his title and force Hatton to wave the white flag and warble "Hail Colombia?"
Promoted by Banner Promotions and Fight Academy, in association with Top Rank, Saturday's all-action card will also feature former two-time WBC lightweight champion JOSE LUIS CASTILLO, the WBC's current No. 1 super lightweight contender, taking on undefeated NABF/WBC International super lightweight champion HERMAN NGOUDJO, the WBC's No. 2-rated contender, in a 12-round WBC super lightweight title elimination bout.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The "Super Six" -- a group of highflying and arguably overpriced stocks -- is beginning to show some cracks.
In the three months since I unveiled this equal-weighted "anti-value" portfolio, the group -- which includes Amazon
(AMZN - Get Report)AMZN, Facebook
(FB - Get Report)FB, LinkedIn
(LNKD)LNKD, Netflix
Salesforce.com (CRM)CRM and Twitter (TWTR)TWTR-- is down 3.6%. Meanwhile, despite a choppy ride, the S&P 500 is up 2.6%, and the Nasdaq Composite has risen 3.2%.
Salesforce.com (+7%), and Facebook (+18%) are the only stocks in positive territory during that period.
While three months is but a day to some investors, including yours truly, the point of this exercise is to track the path of the most exciting, well-covered, cult-like, priced-for-perfection stocks in the market today. These are the companies that are creating a buzz among investors and getting loads of press coverage.

The Giant Chess Puzzle BookOur Price: $26.95Tactical skills are paramount in chess. More than anything else, a player's ability to find tactical solutions determines how successful he is over-the-board. No endgame scheme, opening idea or strategic plan, however brilliant a concept it may be, is of any value unless it is accurately calculated and implemented.
The best way to develop tactical skills is to practice them by tackling new and challenging positions. This book provides a wealth of chess puzzles to test just about every facet of your tactical ability. It is very unlikely that even those who have read many other chess puzzle books will recognize more than a handful of these positions. Franco has searched recent events and used powerful computers to seek out previously unpublished puzzles, and has also drawn extensively upon Latin American sources that he has been scouring for brilliant examples over the last three decades.
Following the pattern of Gambit's hugely successful Ultimate Chess Puzzle Book (by John Emms), the book begins with 100 relatively easy positions suitable for novices, and ends with 100 extremely tough puzzles, which provide a mind-bending challenge even for grandmasters. There are 1001 puzzles in all, including themed sections and graded tests, all with detailed computer-verified solutions and verbal explanations of the main instructive points. Learn More

Italy has struggled to absorb thousands of immigrants in recent years, many of them fleeing the civil war in Syria and travelling through North Africa to the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa on flimsy boats.
The issue has become a political battleground. Rights groups have complained about the conditions in centres while the anti-immigration Northern League has said the government is being too generous to new arrivals.
The thirteen, who arrived in October and were taken to the Ponte Galeria centre the following month, sewed their mouths shut on Saturday night, said police.
"They've been left in complete uncertainty, no-one has explained anything to them," said a spokeswoman for LasciateCIEntrare, a protest group set up to highlight the tough conditions in the migrant reception centres.

I have also discovered that it will not now allow me to install office 2007 and this is because there was a trial version of 2010 which I uninstalled but it leaves enough rubbish behind which even Revo misses that you cannot install 2007. A common enough problem I have found through Google.
So I am just setting up a USB to install a fresh copy of Windows 7.This is by the way an absolute nightmare and in future i will have to think very carefully if I want to go through tis just to have a piece of kit work the way I want.

PH Dealing System slams creation of separate PSE depository
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—The Philippine Dealing System & Holdings Corp. (PDS) has called on regulators to remedy what it described as a "grave regulatory misstep" arising from the Philippine Stock Exchange's setting up of its own depository platform under exchange's Securities Clearing Corp. of the Philippines (SCCP).
In a statement, the PDS group said the existing market architecture, a reference to the depository platform for both bonds and equities provided by the Philippine Depository & Trust Corp. (PDTC), already achieved productivity across asset classes.
PDS said this platform was already enabling conversion from a debt asset to an equity asset more quickly.
"We should also consider that bonds, particularly government securities, are a critical asset class that is particularly useful for collateralization purposes. As such, distancing bonds from the equities asset class by location only creates unnecessary inefficiencies for the market and investors," the statement said.
The provisional depository license given by the Securities and Exchange Commission to SCCP opens up a new – and potentially significant – revenue stream for the PSE but signals a break from the depository platform under the PDS.
PDS, which is led by the Bankers Association of the Philippines, called for a more "consultative deliberation" on the matter. It said there were situations where "singularity is the optimal environment," especially where depth of liquidity and leverage management are objectives to be achieved. It argued that having a single depository system for both bonds and equities would allow nimbleness in market management, facilitate speed in markets, enable a market to achieve same day values and enhance investors' earning capacity.
"Compellingly, as markets around the world evolve towards integrating their depository structures into singularity, recognizing the market efficiency that results from this model, we now seem to be taking a step backward," the PDS said.
PDS said it has come this far in creating a robust and diversified depository capability that could host multi-currency, multiple-asset classes – in fixed income and equities.
"The proposed depository for equities will usher in a market architecture of specialized depositories, where each depository would cater to a market specific to an asset class, thereby fragmenting the location of securities. This will create difficulties for investors to make their securities productive through collateralization and value substitution, which all depositories around the world are now moving towards," it said.
PDS said the PDTC depository was envisioned and brought to life in the late 1990s as a central market infrastructure that would bring about order, soundness in settlement, and investor protection.
"We stand by these fundamental market principles as the underpinning foundations of our creation and the basis of our strength as a market institution. We take this mandate seriously and assure our communities of our commitment to continuity and integrity as this process unfolds," it said.

Fr. Sirico of the misnamed Acton Institute (almost as aggregiious doublespeak as the Susan B. Anthony Fund) wrote a column on the Hobby Lobby Case, which Michael Sean Winters reviews in National Catholic Reporter. I never link to Acton (bad luck) but the link to MSW is at http://ncronline.org/blogs/distinctly-catholic/contra-fr-sirico-hobby-lobby. My comments follow:
I would agree with Fr. Sirico on shifting from contract money to donor money but for one thing, donor money is optional. Make the donations essentially mandatory and I am all in, provided that does not change the requirements that they treat their employees according to law and not canon law. Unless donors can match dollar for dollar, Sirico is part of the war against the poor by ersatz libertarians who justify inequality. The Catholic Church will alway be part of public life and should join with the state as long as there is one in making serving the poor more than a few sandwiches and possibly a bed for the homeless. Besides that, Lutheran Social Services already cleans the Catholic Charities clock in some jurisdictions, like DC, because the bishops don't interfere at LSS.
On the question of whether Hobby Lobby is a person, it is - and not even a publicly traded person. Still, the only resolution to this case was an outside birth control provider (so no moral victories were won here) - as effectively preventing birth control use by Hobby Lobby employees in all cases would have attacked Griswold v. Connecticut. Sirico would have loved that to happen, I am sure, but he was sorely disappointed if he did. This was not a question of religious liberty. It was a question of religious power and those who wanted more power for religion lost.

Amazon Extreme: Three Ordinary Guys, One Rubber Raft and the Most Dangerous River on Earthby Colin Angus Ian Mulgrew
The hair-raising true story of the first team to raft the entire length of the Amazon. To a trio of twenty-something adrenaline junkies, it sounded like an irresistible challenge: Tackle the Amazon with nothing more than a rubber raft between them and fate. In Amazon Extreme Colin Angus provides a you-are-there account of his expedition's terrors and triumphs. In spite of Shining Path gunmen, mosquito-laden drinking water, and, of course, the terrifying rapids themselves, his crew also found a reverence for the equally compelling beauty that makes this region so renowned. Graceful dolphins, lush forests, and the intriguing people who live along the river complete the backdrop as Angus's five-month excursion unfolds. Culminating in an astonishing victory that garnered major media coverage, this is the story of three guys who truly went off the deep end, and one who came back to write a riveting recollection of it.

The Amenity Migrants: Seeking and Sustaining Mountains and Their Culturesby Laurence A. G. Moss
Places with perceived high environmental quality and distinctive culture are globally attracting amenity migrants. Today this societal driving force is particularly manifest in mountain areas, and while beneficial for both the new comers and locals, is also threatening highland ecologies and their human communities. This book describes and analyzes the challenges and opportunities of amenity migration and its management, and offers related recommendations. The book's chapters cover the subject through case studies at international, regional and local levels, along with overarching themes such as environmental sustainability and equity, mountain recreation users, housing, and spiritual motivation. A crucial issue addressed is the relationship of amenity migration to tourism, and migration motivated by economic gain. The introduction and concluding chapters bring all of the information and analyses together strategically, summarizing in a manner of theoretical and practical value for both academics and practitioners.
An American Bestiaryby Jack Schaefer
In a series of leisurely and loving portraits, Jack Schaefer describes a whole ark-full of creatures great and small, who mostly live beyond the din of traffic and the glare of city lights, from the industrious pika, whose sophisticated stockpiling permits him to live in comfort on the desolate rockslides of the high Rockies, to the magnificent pronghorn, whose very appearance represents a perfection of successful adaptation. The book is packed with a thousand bits of information, much of it surely unfamiliar even to the well-read naturalist: the special conditions of a bat's pregnancy, the subterranean architecture of the gopher, the seasonal frustrations of the stolid porcupine. But more important is the overall warmth and geniality of the author's vision--one would like to call it his humanity, but, alas, at the present stage of our development "animality" seems a more appropriate word. In any case, the reader will end up a better mammal, and perhaps even a wiser and more understanding human being.

American Canopy: The Role of Trees in the Shaping of a Nationby Eric Rutkow
This fascinating and groundbreaking work tells the remarkable story of the relationship between Americans and their trees across the entire span of our nation's history. Like many of us, historians have long been guilty of taking trees for granted. Yet the history of trees in America is no less remarkable than the history of the United States itself--from the majestic white pines of New England, which were coveted by the British Crown for use as masts in navy warships, to the orange groves of California, which lured settlers west. In fact, without the country's vast forests and the hundreds of tree species they contained, there would have been no ships, docks, railroads, stockyards, wagons, barrels, furniture, newspapers, rifles, or firewood. No shingled villages or whaling vessels in New England. No New York City, Miami, or Chicago. No Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan, or Daniel Boone. No Allied planes in World War I, and no suburban sprawl in the middle of the twentieth century. America--if indeed it existed--would be a very different place without its millions of acres of trees. As Eric Rutkow's brilliant, epic account shows, trees were essential to the early years of the republic and indivisible from the country's rise as both an empire and a civilization. Among American Canopy's many fascinating stories: the Liberty Trees, where colonists gathered to plot rebellion against the British; Henry David Thoreau's famous retreat into the woods; the creation of New York City's Central Park; the great fire of 1871 that killed a thousand people in the lumber town of Peshtigo, Wisconsin; the fevered attempts to save the American chestnut and the American elm from extinction; and the controversy over spotted owls and the old-growth forests they inhabited. Rutkow also explains how trees were of deep interest to such figures as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Teddy Roosevelt, and FDR, who oversaw the planting of more than three billion trees nationally in his time as president. As symbols of liberty, community, and civilization, trees are perhaps the loudest silent figures in our country's history. America started as a nation of people frightened of the deep, seemingly infinite woods; we then grew to rely on our forests for progress and profit; by the end of the twentieth century we came to understand that the globe's climate is dependent on the preservation of trees. Today, few people think about where timber comes from, but most of us share a sense that to destroy trees is to destroy part of ourselves and endanger the future. Never before has anyone treated our country's trees and forests as the subject of a broad historical study, and the result is an accessible, informative, and thoroughly entertaining read. Audacious in its four-hundred-year scope, authoritative in its detail, and elegant in its execution, American Canopy is perfect for history buffs and nature lovers alike and announces Eric Rutkow as a major new author of popular history.

American Environmental History: An Introductionby Carolyn Merchant
By studying the many ways diverse peoples have changed, shaped, and conserved the natural world over time, environmental historians provide insight into humanity's unique relationship with nature and, more importantly, are better able to understand the origins of our current environmental crisis. Beginning with the precolonial land-use practice of Native Americans and concluding with our twenty-first century concerns over our global ecological crisis, American Environmental History addresses contentious issues such as the preservation of the wilderness, the expulsion of native peoples from national parks, and population growth, and considers the formative forces of gender, race, and class. Entries address a range of topics, from the impact of rice cultivation, slavery, and the growth of the automobile suburb to the effects of the Russian sea otter trade, Columbia River salmon fisheries, the environmental justice movement, and globalization. This illustrated reference is an essential companion for students interested in the ongoing transformation of the American landscape and the conflicts over its resources and conservation. It makes rich use of the tools and resources (climatic and geological data, court records, archaeological digs, and the writings of naturalists) that environmental historians rely on to conduct their research. The volume also includes a compendium of significant people, concepts, events, agencies, and legislation, and an extensive bibliography of critical films, books, and Web sites.
American Environmental Policy, 1990-2006: Beyond Gridlockby Christopher Mcgrory Klyza David J. Sousa

American Wasteland: How America Throws Away Nearly Half of Its Food (and What We Can Do About It)by Jonathan Bloom
What Tom Vanderbilt did for traffic and Brian Wansink did for mindless eating, Jonathan Bloom does for food waste. The topic couldn't be timelier: As more people are going hungry while simultaneously more people are morbidly obese, American Wasteland sheds light on the history, culture, and mindset of waste while exploring the parallel eco-friendly and sustainable-food movements. As the era of unprecedented prosperity comes to an end, it's time to reexamine our culture of excess.Working at both a local grocery store and a major fast food chain and volunteering with a food recovery group, Bloom also interviews experts-from Brian Wansink to Alice Waters to Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen-and digs up not only why and how we waste, but, more importantly, what we can do to change our ways.

America's Last Wild Horsesby Hope Ryden
From the Book Jacket: "A richly researched and written book with an unusual appeal." -Publishers Weekly "This book is a treat for everyone who knows or cares about horses." -Cleveland Amory No wild animal captures the spirit of North America quite so powerfully as the wild horse-nor has any faced such diverse and potent enemies. In this provocative account, Hope Ryden-who helped to ensure the passage of the Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act, which grants mustangs special protection-combs the history of these proud and noble horses; Descended from the Spanish horses ridden by the conquistadors, they evolved into the tough and intelligent ponies that Indians-and later, explorers and cowboys-learned to rely on. From the period when wholesale extermination of the buffalo was underway until recent times, commercial and political interests have sought to eliminate the wild horses as varmints. In the latest update to this classic story Ryden tells of the successes: and failures in the past ten years of regulation, and has added stunning new color photographs. The subject of a front-page article in The New York Times. when it was first published, america's last wild horses continues to be a compelling testament to the life of a uniquely American symbol of grace and wildness, and is a must read for horse lovers and Western history enthusiast everywhere.

This book offers an up-to-date treatment of chalcogenide glasses and amorphous semiconductors from basic principles to applications while providing the reader with the necessary theoretical background to understanding the material properties technology of this class of materials. This book offers an up-to-date treatment of chalcogenide glasses and amorphous semiconductors from basic principles to applications while providing the reader with the necessary theoretical background to understanding the material properties. Chalcogenides form a special class of materials, which have one or more of the elements from the chalcogen group, Group VI in the Periodic Table (S, Se. or Te) as a constituent; the chalcogen is mixed with other elements to form various "new" compounds and alloys. Chalcogenides are noncrystalline solids because their structure is "amorphous" or "glassy". Such structures have totally different properties than crystalline solids. Chalcogenide glasses have a number of very interesting and useful properties, which have been already exploited in the commercialization of new devices.
The AMS Weather Book: The Ultimate Guide to America's Weatherby Jack Williams Stephanie Abrams Rick Anthes Jim Cantore
America has some of the most varied and dynamic weather in the world. Every year, the Gulf Coast is battered by hurricanes, the Great Plains are ravaged by tornados, the Midwest is pummeled by blizzards, and the temperature in the Southwest reaches a sweltering 120 degrees. Extreme weather can be a matter of life and death, but even when it is pleasant--72 degrees and sunny--weather is still central to the lives of all Americans. Indeed, it's hard to imagine a topic of greater collective interest. Whether we want to know if we should close the storm shutters or just carry an umbrella to work, we turn to forecasts. But few of us really understand the science behind them. All that changes with The AMS Weather Book. The most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to our weather and our atmosphere, it is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to understand how hurricanes form, why tornados twirl, or even why the sky is cerulean blue. Written by esteemed science journalist and former USA Today weather editor Jack Williams, The AMS Weather Book, copublished with the American Meteorological Society, covers everything from daily weather patterns, air pollution, and global warming to the stories of people coping with severe weather and those who devote their lives to understanding the atmosphere, oceans, and climate. Words alone, of course, are not adequate to explain many meteorological concepts, so The AMS Weather Book is filled with engaging full-color graphics that explain such concepts as why winds blow in a particular direction, how Doppler weather radar works, what happens inside hurricanes, how clouds create wind and snow, and what's really affecting the earth's climate. For Weather Channel junkies, amateur meteorologists, and storm chasers alike, The AMS Weather Book is an invaluable tool for anyone who wants to better understand how weather works and how it affects our lives.
The Anasazi: Prehistoric People of the Four Corners Regionby J. Richard Ambler
Ambler explores the Four Corners of Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. Weaving together its geological, ecological and human histories, he presents a unique portrait of this ruggedly beautiful landscape that goes beyond mere description to give readers a true sense of the land in all its richness. Here are rock croppings that are 2 billion years old and broad desert valleys where rivers of lava cooled to form floors of solid rock. Here ancient hunter-gatherers stalked the woolly mammoth, four-story pueblos were carved by the Anasazi from sheer stone cliffs and an ancient midnight Holy Week ceremony is still practiced in a modern Spanish village. Providing a fresh perspective on a region currently enjoying an upwelling of interest, Four Corners is a study of one of the world's great wonders -- compelling reading for all science, nature, anthropology and travel aficionados.

YouTube says the battle with TV is already over
More News from Associated Press
NEW YORK—YouTube vs. TV? YouTube says the battle — if there ever was one — is over.
In a flashy presentation to advertisers Wednesday night, Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt declined to forecast that Internet video will displace television watching. Instead he declared: "That's already happened."
Schmidt says "the future is now" for YouTube, which recently passed the milestone of one billion unique visitors every month. But, he adds, if you think that's a large number, "wait until you get to six or seven billion."
YouTube billed the event, which was part of a week of digital media "NewFronts," as a "brandcast." YouTube presented itself as a new video entity unlike TV, one with global reach, community engagement and more 18- to 34-year-olds than any cable network.

IRS's Rossotti Says Agency is Still Short on Resources
"These divergent trends simply cannot continue indefinitely. It's not going to be possible for the tax system to be stable if those trends continue, so something has to turn around," he said [1]. He explained that a growing population and an increased emphasis on customer service have strained the system that once focused on revenue collection. While IRS services have expanded beyond revenue collection, the number of IRS employees has decreased by nearly 10% in the past 10 years. The agency hired about 1,500 professionals a little over a year ago, but from 1994 to 2000, the IRS didn't hire any new revenue agents or tax professionals. "It was essentially a hiring freeze," said Mr. Rossotti.
When Mr. Rossotti assumed his position as commissioner five years ago he indicated he thought a required overhaul of the IRS would take 10 years. He still believes that is the case. He believes the ongoing improvement in technology and the shift in tax enforcement resources to higher-income taxpayers will go a long way to improve the performance of the agency.
Mr. Rossotti also described what he called "the false metaphor of the swinging pendulum," which he said referred to the idea that the IRS is perceived to be overly focused on either customer service or collection at any one time. He expressed his belief that the IRS is capable of doing both jobs well and simultaneously.
