Howard's Muslim comments spark race riot fear
SYDNEY (Reuters) – Australian Prime Minister John Howard
has called on migrants, particularly Muslims, to integrate into
Australian society by quickly learning English — sparking
warnings his comments may lead to race riots.
The head of the government's Muslim advisory committee,
Ameer Ali, said on Friday that Howard's comments could fuel
race riots like those at Sydney's Cronulla beach last December.
"We have already witnessed one incident in Sydney recently
in Cronulla, I don't want these scenes to be repeated because
when you antagonize the younger generation … they are bound
to react," Ali told local Sydney radio.
In December 2005, Howard said some Muslims were "raving on
about jihad." Days later violence rocked Cronulla, when white
Australian youths clashed with Lebanese-Australians.
In February, Howard again angered Australia's small Muslim
community by saying he was concerned about extremist Muslim
immigrants bent on jihad.
On Thursday, Howard told Sydney radio that migrants,
particularly hardline Muslims, needed to conform to Australian
values by learning English and treating women with respect.
His latest comments angered Muslims, but the prime minister
said he would not apologize.
"I think they are missing the point and the point is that I
don't care and the Australian people don't care where people
come from," Howard told reporters on Friday.
"There's a small section of the Islamic population which is
unwilling to integrate and I have said generally all migrants
… have to integrate," he said.
Almost a quarter of Australians were born overseas. Muslims
have been in Australia for more than 200 years and make up 1.5
percent of the 20 million population.
Muslim leaders say their community feels under siege due to
the U.S.-led war on terrorism, the Cronulla riot in 2005 and
Howard's comments on Muslims.
Islamic leader Iktimal Hage-Ali said the prime minister was
unfairly targeting the Muslim community.
"There's a whole lot of other ethnic communities whose
parents, whose grandparents don't speak the English language
and it's never a problem in the mainstream Australian
community," she told reporters.
"Every tiny step that we take forward we have some
politician come out and say something stupid and it takes us 10
steps back."

We provide an independent comparison service free of charge but we may receive a commission from some of the companies we refer you to. These are indicated with purple buttons.
There's no shortage of companies offering 18 month and 2 year loans, but this doesn't mean you should pick the first one that pops up.
To find the best 24 month loan, you need to decide how much you need to borrow before you even start looking at comparing or applying for one.
Whether the loan is to pay for something you're planning to buy, or to cover an unexpected expense, try to work out precisely how much you want prior to making a 24 month loan comparison.
Sometimes it can be tempting to apply for more cash than you actually need, but don't get carried away - you will have to pay back everything you borrow, and more on top of that.
Once you know how much you want to borrow, you can start comparing the different loans on the market.
Each lender will have different conditions about who they will lend to and under what circumstances.
So if you know you're likely to be refused by one - maybe because you're not a certain age, don't earn a specified amount or have a poor credit history - it's best not to apply.
If you do approach a whole bunch of companies, it could well hurt your credit rating by making you appear desperate, so it's best to hedge your bets and talk only to lenders who might actually be able to help you.
Lenders will offer varying amounts of money, which is why it's important to have a figure in mind when looking for loans, so that you know which ones you can rule out.
Some will let you borrow a minimum of £5,000, while others will set their maximum amount at £15,000, so which ones you can choose will depend largely on your circumstances.
Companies offering unsecured loans over 2 years will lend less than those who provide secured personal loans.
Even for loans which you want to pay off over a certain amount of time, such as a 2 year loan, it's worth checking whether the company you're borrowing from will charge fees if you want to repay the whole amount early.
Some will charge a month or two's interest if you want to pay it back more quickly, while others could be flexible and allow overpayments, so check the contract conditions carefully.
While lenders will provide a 'representative' Annual Percentage Rate (APR) that may seem low, it doesn't mean that applies to all their 2 year loans - far from it.
For example, a company advertising a typical APR of 4.6% on a loan of £7,500 could charge a far higher one on any other amount - even if it's for a £1,000 or £2,000 loan.
That's why it's recommended that you make a thorough 24 month loan comparison to see what each company is proposing before you apply to any.
If you're looking to borrow over 18 or 24 months, you might be better off using a credit card with 0% on balance transfers or purchases instead.
These cards don't add interest on top of the cash you've borrowed for a certain amount of time, so you can focus on paying off what you owe without having to pay extra.
If you'd rather sidestep paying the interest on a 2 year loan, these cards offer a good alternative, though you will have to pay a balance transfer or handling fee to shift your debt from another card.
Remember you will still need to meet the card provider's conditions, so only apply if you have a good chance of being accepted and can pay off what you borrowed during the 0% period.

Juliette Geurts was found dead in 2008 in the small town of Gering in western Nebraska. This week, a grand jury indicted Dustin Chauncey with manslaughter and child abuse.
At the time of the girl's death, he was dating Juliette's mom, Charyse Geurts. She has been charged as being an accessory and slowing the police investigation.
According to a friend, the night the girl died Chauncey and Geurts spent the night partying.
The 2-year-old's aunt, Monica Hall, has been on a crusade since the girl's death, trying to find Justice for Juliette.
Chauncey is scheduled to be sentenced Friday afternoon in Boulder County on weapons and drug charges.
Hall is concerned he could be released from jail before officials in Nebraska issue a warrant for his arrest.

You're Invited To Brainstorm The Future Of The Coconut Grove Playhouse
Local leaders want to brainstorm with the public about the future of the historic Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami. The long-shuttered theater's fortunes have turned 180 degrees in the past months, as an effort to revitalize the playhouse has solidified. Nick Madigan wrote for the Miami Herald that Grove residents will have three chances to share their ideas with members of the village council and the playhouse's advisory committee:
Residents are invited to present their views at 6 p.m. Friday at Miami City Hall, 3500 Pan American Dr., during the first of three proposed "public brainstorming" meetings about the theater.
The idea is to assess the views of people who live near the theater and pass them on to county officials who are studying plans for the building, said Javier Gonzalez, the chairman of the village council.
"Our goal is to gain insight as to residents' concerns and then present these topics to the county as a neighborhood consensus," he said.
After being closed for eight years, Miami-Dade County and Florida International University are partnering to reopen the theater -- and keep it open for at least 50 years. The state handed the reigns over to the county and the university after taking back ownership of the property in 2012 from a nonprofit board that was tasked with running the playhouse. Critics say the board financially mismanaged the historic theater.
The playhouse originally opened in 1927 as a movie theater called the Player's State Theater. In the 1950s, oilman George Engle saw potential for a live performing theater and, a million-dollar renovation later, reopened it as the Coconut Grove Playhouse.
The end goal, under the latest renovation plan, is for the playhouse to become Coconut grove's resident professional theater as well as a home to the award-winning theater group GableStage.

In an update that addresses one glaring gap in E-Verify, USCIS has announced that Social Security numbers that are used fraudulently (stolen, borrowed or purchased from someone else) will be "locked" in the system, generating a tentative non-confirmation (TNC).
E-Verify has long been criticized because if the SSN provided belongs to a real person, no TNC was generated. Thus, even employers, such as the former Swift & Co. meat packing plants, that used E-Verify ended up employing unauthorized workers. Swift & Co. was the subject of a highly-publicized and financially-devastating immigration raid*.
If the enhancement works, it will assist employers in identifying potential unauthorized workers, while still allowing the person that is subject of the TNC to continue employment. When a TNC is received, E-Verify rules require that the employer provide the worker with the option to challenge the TNC and continue working. The employ would then go the SSA office to sort out the matter. If the employee timely challenges the TNC, she may continue to work until a final non-confirmation is received. (If the matter is successfully sorted, a verification will be issued).
Of course, the software enhancement will undoubtedly have some "false positives" (those that are allowed to work will have to go to SSA) and some "false negatives" (those that are not allowed to work will get through the system).
Uninformed employers sometimes terminate employment when a TNC is issued, which is against the rules but can be hard for some workers to challenge (such as those that are not familiar with the U.S. legal system or do not have a strong command of English).
Remember that E-Verify is still not mandatory except in certain States for certain employers, or for certain federal government contractors. However, the immigration reform law passed by the Senate would mandate it on a rolling basis.
Also, E-Verify "self-check" is now available so you can see if your information is accurate in the system.
Although the author is still not a fan of E-Verify, if we are going to insist on using such a system, it is better if it is thorough.
*For one account of the Swift & Co. raid history, click here. We make no claims about the accuracy of this account, but it provides a jumping-off place for further research if you are interested. The author has her own bad memories of what is known in Iowa as the "Marshalltown Raid".

Carl Froch, the undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) super middleweight champion from Nottingham, England, came to America determined to make a lasting impression on U.S. fight fans. And that, to say the least, he did last Saturday night on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING when he rallied in the later rounds to register a dramatic, come-from-behind 12th-round knockout over the universally known and respected challenger Jermain Taylor. Froch, after getting decked in the third round and being outboxed for much of the match, entered the last round trailing Taylor, a former undisputed middleweight titleholder, by four points on two of the judges scorecards..
Froch needed a knockout to avoid a split decision loss and claim victory in only his second professional fight on U.S. soil. To the astonishment of a packed theater at MGM Grand at Foxwoods and surely to everyone watching on SHOWTIME, he got it in emphatic fashion, too.

New video coming for Bob Dylan's 'Rolling Stone'
NEW YORK (AP) - Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" is getting its first official music video, nearly 50 years after the song was released.
The interactive video will premiere on Dylan's website Tuesday and marks the release of the new 47-disc box set, "The Complete Album Collection Volume 1."
"Like a Rolling Stone" came out in 1965 and remains one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer-songwriter's most influential songs.
The video will allow viewers to switch between 16 different story lines that mimic television channels. The actors and hosts on each of these channels lip-sync the lyrics to the song and viewers can move from one to another during the song seamlessly. There is a Dylan channel as well that features vintage footage.

DOBSON — The Dobson Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a rezoning request Thursday night, paving the way for an additional mobile home to be located at an existing mobile home park.
The action came as the board met for its regular monthly meeting in Town Hall.
The request was proffered by town property owner Harry Folger.
Folger has purchased a trailer park in town on Main Street located across from the high school and Surry Community College. The mobile home park is located back from the road, and Folger also purchased two parcels with road frontage on Main Street.
The rezoning was necessary, Town Manager Josh Smith said, because Folger wanted to combine the two tracts with road frontage and place an additional mobile home at the park.
The property was originally zoned RS, or residential suburban and Thursday's rezoning converted it to RMS, or residential manufactured home.
"There's a house on the property on Main Street, and he wants to keep the house there but combine the tracts to add the additional mobile home," Smith said.
Prior to Thursday's vote, the Dobson Planning Board has given the request the go-ahead.
"The only question raised was whether he was going to tear down the house and put a mobile home on the road, but that's not his intention," he said. "This is a well-maintained mobile home park and the town has not had any issues with it. The rezoning would not impact other residents or change the appearance of the neighborhood."
The rezoning was approved on a motion by Commissioner Todd Dockery with a second by Commissioner John Lawson.
After considering the rezoning request, the board voted to proclaim March as American Red Cross Month.

During this old school death metal renaissance we are enjoying at present, a lot of Razorback signings and similiar acts seem to have been doing too little to last past fleeting nostalgia. The Grotesquery have finally taken up the torch for taking it all past musical imitation and thematic parody. They are essentially Bone Gnawer (Rogga and Kam are both here) with a lot more class, and more thought gone into the music being created.
Firstly, the concept album is a self-indulgent gimmick, and does not intrude upon the actual songs aside from short sections of narration between them. The lyrical concept is a sort of Wes Craven-esque rendering of Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Fall of the House of Usher' short story, and is communicated with good taste and effective pacing. This story spans twenty years, and in a way, so does the music.
The core old school sound so popular at the moment shares its dank cave with a sharp pylon of death metal modernity. Typical scrawling, edgy riffs and familiar slow, pounding passages are offset by a measure of brutality, manifesting in the form of a modern thrash influence with an edge of grooviness. 'This Morbid Child' is a highlight, with a violent, scissoring chug and the most headbanging breakdown I've had the pleasure of for far too long. The weighty, lumbering riffs of 'Nightmares Made Flesh' feel heavy enough to drop through concrete floors. 'Sins of His Father' breaks out the classic styles, with a rattling thrash-based riff that shares the song with more dark and deadly doom. The production sound is throaty and heavy, but with plenty of the acerbic clarity needed to accentuate the more recent influences.
Technically things are more complex than influences like Carnage or Grave, and certainly more than Bone Gnawer and Revolting and such, more in the realm of Bloodbath while retaining the old school authenticity through being less reliant on blastbeats and more inclined toward slow and gory drum rolls underneath the staggering tremolo wails. The bass guitar is delightfully unchecked, seeming to organically ramble and groan across the tracks as if improvised during the recording process.
Having Kam Lee do the vocals was a wise choice, as Rogga's, while effective, are just a little too homogenous to get me excited. Kam is the perfect voice for the demented character represented in the lyrics. His performance ranges from cavernously deep growls to evil rasps, occasionally with an echoing effect, as if he is roaring from a crypt out into the cold night air. Only on 'Spirits of the Dead' do things edge a little too far into modern territory, with half-shouted vocals accompanying the simplistic slam riffs. His low, sepulchral gurgles on 'Coffin Birth' and 'Nightmares Made Flesh' ("hhhhhrrrrrr....") and habit of continuously rasping over the instrumental breaks make up for it however.
The old geezers who are The Grotesquery have managed, between them, to create a well-crafted, well-written behemoth of refreshingly vigorous death metal. The songs vary enough in length and mood to make the album a very rewarding listen. While opener 'Coffin Birth' is a straightforward old school boxing of the ears, 'The Terrible Old Man' is a genuinely sinister mid-paced monster replete with eerie guitar pinches and maniacal laughter. 'Sepulcher Macabre' and 'The Fall of the House of Grotesque' are both excellently realized dark, deathly epics, with particularly the latter featuring some chilling guitar work. Where Bone Gnawer was derivative and moronic, Tales of the Coffin Born is inspired and vicious. The old dogs learned some new tricks.

Bio and Links
I was born in Atchison, Kansas, where Amelia Earhart was also born. I currently teach computer science courses at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois, but worked 11 years as a professional programmer in Kansas City, Missouri, before that. My family and roots are all in the KCMO area, though, so I make it back there often.
I love to do a lot of things but genealogy and classical music are among my favorite pasttimes. I am currently researching all of my lines but am at a standstill with my Decker line. I am trying to find the parents of my second great grandfather Benjamin G. Decker, Sr. Other lines that I have are Allen, Lemley, Dege, Russell, Klopp, Katterman, Dundore, Walborn, and many others. Please feel free to message me if you have any suggestions or questions.
I enjoy the work of the conductors Herbert von Karajan, Carlos Kleiber, Karl Böhm, Eugen Jochum, and many others. I especially love Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven, Bruckner, Mahler, Wagner, and Richard Strauss, just to name a few.

RE: Find A Grave Memorial# 23411576
I saw those 2 names mentioned as their parents also. I am pouring through subscription websites and other websites looking for obituaries on the Deckers. I pay for obituaries individually through Rutherford if I find the obits there. I have paid people to go into libraries around the country...to copy an obit that is no where else found and the librarians won't do it. The Decker family is tough to research. I too like proof which is why I buy genealogy family books and use google ebooks geneaolgy. I snapshot the pages as my proof if I find the proof. I've tracked down cemetery sextons Deckers are supposed to be buried in and have them verify which are in there. If you find the parents, let me know and I will let you know if I find them. Can't give up.

RE: Lucky Lytch
Thank you Mr. Decker. I hope that I didn't duplicate yours. It may have been removed, I hope, because yours is much better. Yes, Larry tells me that his grand parents were the best. He misses them very much. I just linked the father to Seth on here. Finally found him. Took some doing as his name was changed from Lytchliter to Lytch when he moved from Iowa, I believe. Fascinating family history. Thanks, Geoffrey.

RE: I'm confused
Hi Cousin!
I'm confused too --- but I think the guidelines suggest keeping the oldest memorials.
Why don't I transfer any of your family that you wish to have? I go through Johan & Margaret to John Miesse & Catherine Kline, so we're pretty good after the first generation. It would be easiest if you could please use the Edit tab to make the requests.
The same works in reverse. Please let me know if any of mine are newer than yours.
Hoping this method doesn't put too much work on your end! I'm under some deadlines, so if you'd rather wait until March, happy to take a closer look at the conflicts.

after reading all the positive reviews on multiple sites, i decided to catch an early dinner here on a day trip to santa barbara. i'm glad i did, as the food was overall quite good, the fish fresh, and the menu offered a wide variety of unique dishes and rolls. prices ranged from mostly moderate to occasionally high. i ate on the sidewalk patio, which was a bit chilly but bearable and the place overall was amazingly casual, yet still vibrant and fun.
on another note, we got here about 5 min after it opened on a saturday night, and it was already packed! we couldn't believe it.
refreshing bite-size avocado pieces infused w/a delicious, fruity (peach? mango?) flavor. for $9 bucks it's a bit steep and you'll still be hungry after, but it's enough to split b/w 2 as a starter.
this is one of the few raw salmon sushi rolls i could find on the ecletic menu, and although there aren't too many slices, it's surprisingly good. definitely would order again.
i suppose this would be the closest roll to your typical rainbow roll. nothing wow-ing, but w/the crab being actual minced crab, it's a solid roll.

It's the best sushi I've ever had in my life. I highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar and asking the chef to just go nuts. Also, get the mushroom miso – and, of course, the house sake.

By far one of the best sushi spots in Santa Barbara. Where there is money, there are sushi enthusiasts and Arigato is where I take dates for dinner when Sushi gets the call on our first outing. The place is always packed, always good, always clean, service is friendly, a pretty good location, the chefs are top notch and they will make you specialty orders if you ask for them. Sit outside on a warm clear night, and your date will know that you appreciate her company.

Arigato Sushi is one of my favorite Sushi places. The rolls are really fresh and full of flavor, the service is great, the prices are good. This is just a great sushi place to come to with friends and enjoy an evening with good food and…

TAMPA, FL (April 13, 2009) Friday night in Tampa, Florida, Jamaican born heavyweight prospect Lenroy Thomas thrilled the huge HOMECOMING crowd with a vicious second round knockout of Wes Taylor at the Sun Dome arena. The Thomas/Taylor bout was the co-main event to the Jeff Lacy/Otis Griffin headliner..
The action packed first round saw Thomas drop Taylor with a marksmen like left hook body shot towards the end of the first stanza. Thomas then finished him off with a barrage of punches at the 1:17 mark of the second round.
Said Thomas, now 12-1-0 (8KOs), He came out very aggressively from the opening bell, but once I was able to time him I was able to land at will. Dan Birmingham and I worked on that in the gym and we were able to use it in the bout.
Its always great to fight in Tampa and the crowd on Friday night was terrific for this event.
The 24 year old Thomas had spent the last two months in Las Vegas training and sparring with boxing superstar Winky Wright in preparation for his HBO televised bout Saturday night showdown Paul Williams.
About his future, Thomas said Ill let Chet and TKO decide where and when Ill be fighting next, but I want to face other top prospects in the heavyweight division. The camp in Las Vegas with Winky put me in great shape and thats where Im going to stay.
Said promoter Chet Koerner of TKO BOXING Promotions, Were very happy with Lenroys performance. He worked hard in training camp with Winky and was easily able to handle Taylor s aggressiveness. The body shot that he dropped him with in the second would have worked against any heavyweight in the world.
Our plan is to keep him very busy this year, this was his second fight in 2009, and we want to get him on TV where he can truly showcase his skills to the boxing fans everywhere.
Intense body work for prospect Danny OConnor
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (April 13, 2009) Promising prospect Danny OConnor recently spent 10 days working out at the famed Athletes Performance Institute in Tempe, Arizona.
Athletes Performance, where Boston Red Sox stars Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury trained during the off-season, is home base for numerous athletes in several sports. OConnor arrived there right after a slew of college football players, including potential top pick Matthew Stafford (U. of Georgia quarterback), preparing for the NFL combine had departed, which afforded Danny extra time and special attention.
One of my best friends went to school for sports medicine and he has a good job there (Athletes Performance), Danny said. He talked to the people who run the facility and I did 10 days of legitimate training there. I was very impressed. I got educated about my body, nutrition, recovery work, and not getting injured. It was like going to school to learn how to be an athlete. It was way better than going to the gym and punching the heavy bag. I had a little time off after my last fight. I could have taken a vacation, or taken a vacation in Arizona and training at Athletes Performance. I learned a lot of new stuff. I was like a sponge; taking in as much knowledge as possible to make me a better athlete.
2004 U.S. Olympic Team alternate OConnor (5-0, 2 KOs) is coming off his first-round TKO of Charles Wade before 300 of his passionate fans 3 ½ weeks ago in Boston. The place was jam-packed, Danny noted. They kept me until the last fight. I didnt watch any of the other fights so I could concentrate on mine, but when I went out there everybody family, friends and fans were standing and it was so loud. I was really taken back to think they were all there to see me. It was a good feeling.
The 23-year-old OConnor, who defeated 2008 Olympic Gold medalist Felix Diaz, of the Dominican Republic, last May in a USA-Dominican Republic dual meet, is gradually dropping down from light welterweight (140) to lightweight (135). His connections at Athletes Performance set him up with a strength and conditioning coach, Eric Cressey, in Hudson (MA).
Eric is a well known strength coach who worked a lot with (former Red Sox star) Curt Schilling, OConnor added. He has me doing a lot of ply-metrics, similar to workouts we did with the Olympic Team interval and explosive training. I feel good about my fights. Im getting stronger and better each fight. Im not the type to ever get out of shape, but Im on a mission to be world champion and everyday, I wake up thinking of what I can do to make that happen. Mornings, I work with Eric, and nights Im at the gym in Providence training with my coach, David Keefe.
Im coming down in weight, little by little, to 135. The morning of my last fight I weighed 137+ but when I learned my opponent wasnt coming in close to 140, I ate more and weighed in at 141. With proper nutrition, I want to be a strong 135, not weak making it. Im on a great diet plan and when Im comfortable at 135, Im going to be a monster.
Dannys head trainer and co-manager, David Keefe, believes the move to make his prize pupil a lightweight is a major step in the right direction. Our goal is to drop weight gradually until he hits 135 in about six months, Keefe explained. Eventually, Danny will be the champion of the world in the division that suits him best - lightweight. Hes going to be a big lightweight. Ive always told Danny that he had the weight to lose. Hooking-up with Eric Cressey will help him drop weight and make him stronger at the same time, something Rob Valle (OConnors other co-manager) and I are excited about.
OConnor, promoted by Seminole Warriors Boxing, is scheduled to fight an opponent to be determined April 25 on Showtimes Carl Froch-Jermain Taylor card at MGM Grand Foxwoods. Thats another big card where I can showcase my talents to a lot of different people, Danny concluded. Its a great fight card and Foxwoods is close to home, so I know a lot of my fans will be there (Ledyard, Connecticut).
INTERNATIONAL BOXING HALL OF FAME PREPARES FOR 20th ANNUAL INDUCTION WEEKEND
CANASTOTA, NY APRIL 13, 2009 The International Boxing Hall of Fame is eagerly anticipating the celebration of its landmark 20th anniversary. Many events are being planned to celebrate the occasion, including the Annual Hall of Fame Induction Weekend, June 11-14th.
Since the Hall of Fame opened in 1989, progress has been made in honoring the international sport of boxing. The first class of inductees was enshrined in 1990 and the first expansion to the Museum was completed in 1992. The Hall celebrated its 5th Anniversary in 1994, its 10th Anniversary in 1999 and its 15th Anniversary in 2004. In late 2002, ground was broken for the Event Pavilion, which was completed in the spring of 2003. The Event Pavilion now proudly houses the world famous Madison Square Garden boxing ring. The Hall's collection of memorabilia and research material has grown immensely through the years and has helped entertain and educate boxing fans from around the world.
"With the 20th anniversary upon us, it's a great time to reflect on the strides made in 'Boxing's Hometown' while casting an eye towards the future," said Hall of Fame Executive Director Edward Brophy. "We want to thank everyone in the boxing community who has played a part in the success of the Hall of Fame."
Events planned for the Induction Weekend include a banquet, night of rising stars, parade, golf tournament, boxing autograph card show, cocktail party and the Official Induction Ceremony honoring the Class of 2009. In addition, other special activities will be implemented for the celebration, including a fireworks display.
New inductees to be honored are bantamweight champion Orlando Canizales, heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, junior lightweight champion Brian Mitchell, matchmaker / publicist / promoter Bob Goodman, promoter Akihiko Honda, journalist Hugh McIlvaney and broadcaster Larry Merchant. Posthumous inductees will also be honored.
According to Hall of Fame officials, nearly 200 volunteers are contributing their time and effort to make the Hall of Fame Weekend a success. Planning for the event began last fall and everything is on schedule for a memorable and exciting Hall of Fame Weekend.
An impressive list of boxing legends of yesterday and today are scheduled to participate in weekend festivities. Tickets for all events are now available and capacity crowds are again anticipated for June.
Boxing fans from throughout the United States and abroad have already reserved tickets and made hotel accommodations for the weekend, said Brophy. This event will be one that everyone involved in the sport will be proud of and will hopefully generate additional interest in the sport.

Boat explodes in Norfolk Virginia
A Norfolk police officer investigates the scene of a boat explosion at Bay Point Marina in Norfolk on Wednesday. HYUNSOO LEO KIM / THE VIRGINIAN-PILOT
By LOUIS HANSEN, The Virginian-Pilot
© August 9, 2007 | Last updated 11:37 PM Aug. 8
A 42-foot sailboat exploded late Wednesday afternoon at a marina in Ocean View, sending debris 40 feet into the air, demolishing the boat and leaving a man seriously wounded.
The man, whom rescue workers did not name, was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital's trauma center, said Battalion Chief Bruce Evans, the Fire Department spokesman.
The splintered remains of the sailboat, a 1974 model made by Irwin, floated around a 100-foot square debris patch at the Bay Point Marina. Witnesses said the blast could be heard across the marina and in nearby condos.
Emergency crews arrived at the 4800 block of Pretty Lake Ave. shortly after 6 p.m., Evans said. They found a badly injured man and the remains of his boat. "There's basically nothing left," Evans said.
Jane Slaterback was gardening in her nearby condo and heard the blast. She immediately looked toward the marina and saw debris flying 40 feet in the air.

"I saw everything coming down," she said.
She went to the scene and discovered the demolished vessel was docked alongside her family sailboat, she said. Slaterback said the injured man was repairing a propane stove on his boat, which led to the explosion. She said she knew the man only by his first name.
Slaterback's boat and about 15 others suffered broken windows and other internal and external damage, Evans said.

Instagram Hits 300 Million Users, Celebrates With Badges For Celebrities
Nine short months after the image-sharing site hit the 200 million user milestone, Instagram reports it now has 300 million users.
"Over the past four years, what began as two friends with a dream has grown into a global community that shares more than 70 million photos and videos each day," the social network's blog post said.
The latest numbers have prompted TechCrunch blogger Josh Constine to note that Instagram has now surpassed Twitter by user count, though keep in mind that Twitter has 284 million active users, while Instagram did not say which percentage of its users are active. On the other hand, Twitter says it has added just 38 million people in the past nine months.

In tandem with this news, Instagram has announced a new feature that ought to lend it more credibility—celebrity badges. These badges should roll out for eligible users in a couple of days.
"We're excited to announce verified badges for celebrities, athletes and brands, making it easier for you to connect with the authentic accounts you're looking for," the post read.

Padres' bullpen meltdown leads to Giants' 6-2 win
Whiteside tied his career high with three hits.
The Padres had three consecutive hits off Madison Bumgarner for a run with two outs in the third. Denorfia singled to right, advanced on Jason Bartlett's base hit to center and scored on Chase Headley's single to left.
Bumgarner allowed seven hits in six innings, struck out four and walked none.
NOTES: San Diego State football coach Rocky Long threw out the ceremonial first pitch, to Padres manager Bud Black, an SDSU alum. ... The Padres wore 1983 throwback brown uniforms as a tribute to Hall of Fame manager Dick Williams, who died July 7. There was also a video tribute and a moment of silence. Williams managed the Padres from 1982-85, including reaching the World Series for the first time in franchise history in 1984. Williams managed the Oakland Athletics to back-to-back World Series titles and also led the Boston Red Sox to the 1967 World Series. ... Headley left in the eighth with a bruised left ankle.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Robb Smith is no stranger to coaching top defenses, having led Rutgers in 2012 when the Scarlet Knights were fourth in the country while allowing only 14.2 points per game.
However, the new Arkansas defensive coordinator faces a difficult opening act with the Razorbacks - who have allowed more than 30 points per game in each of the last two seasons while finishing a combined 7-17.
Smith was hired by Arkansas coach Bret Bielema in February after former defensive coordinator Chris Ash left for Ohio State.
After spending last season with Tampa Bay in the NFL, Smith has spent much of his time with the Razorbacks trying to instill confidence and improve on a Southeastern Conference low of 14 forced turnovers last season.

About Alexza Pharmaceuticals
Alexza Pharmaceuticals is an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel, proprietary products for the treatment of acute and intermittent conditions. The Company's technology, the Staccato system, vaporizes unformulated drug to form a condensation aerosol that allows rapid systemic drug delivery through deep lung inhalation. The drug is quickly absorbed through the lungs into the bloodstream, providing speed of therapeutic onset that is comparable to intravenous administration, but with greater ease, patient comfort and convenience.
Alexza has five product candidates in clinical development. Alexza's lead program, AZ-004 (Staccato loxapine) for the treatment of acute agitation in schizophrenic or bipolar disorder patients, has completed one Phase 3 clinical trial and enrolled a second Phase 3 trial. The Company has completed its end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA for AZ-001 (Staccato prochlorperazine), which is intended for the acute treatment of migraine headache, and it has advanced AZ-104 (Staccato loxapine) to Phase 2 testing. Product candidates that have completed Phase 1 testing are AZ-003 (Staccato fentanyl) for the treatment of breakthrough pain, which is partnered with Endo Pharmaceuticals in North America, and AZ-007 (Staccato zaleplon) for the treatment of insomnia. In addition, AZ-002 (Staccato alprazolam) has completed a Phase 2a proof-of-concept clinical trial for the treatment of panic attacks -- an indication the Company is not planning to pursue -- and is being assessed for other possible indications and renewed clinical development. More information, including this and past press releases from Alexza, is available online at http://www.alexza.com.

Making music with Csound
Sound Design
The powerful Csound software provides an impressive set of features for audio production and processing. We walk you through the entire system.
Csound is a software system designed for digital audio synthesis, signal processing, and music composition. As a production environment, Csound [1] is fully mature, with a well-tended development track extending from the 1970s to the present day. Csound runs on all major platforms, including iOS and Android systems, with support for a broad range of hardware. Csound is free software as defined by the FSF and is licensed under the LGPL.
The System
Csound's system is an organization of agreeable parts. The Csound binary, which is typically found at
/usr/bin/csound or
/usr/local/bin/csound, is the engine that processes your code and sends the output on its way, either as a sound file or as real-time sound. Csound's native user interface is a domain-specific programming language with built-in elements for audio production and processing. These elements, called opcodes, are the fundamental building blocks for all your Csound designs. The system further includes a language for scoring a composition, a multifarious set of utilities, and a variety of interface extensions that ally Csound's powers with the general capabilities of C/C++, Java, and Python.
Incidentally, the C in Csound refers to the language of the internal code. No prior knowledge of C or any other programming language is required to use Csound effectively, however, and with one of its excellent front ends, you may find that you have no need at all to program directly in native Csound.
What Can It Do ?
A proprietary synthesizer is usually built around a specific synthesis method. Thus, Yamaha's DX line of synthesizers were built on principles of FM synthesis, whereas Roland's Juno and Jupiter synths are based on classic subtractive synthesis methods, and Modartt's Pianoteq instruments are constructed by physical modeling synthesis. Csound imposes no such specific restriction. You can freely mix additive, FM, subtractive, granular, physical modeling, and other synthesis technologies, allowing you to design synthesizers with greater complexity than any hardware on the market. For example, you can build banks of identical or varied filters and effects, specify parameter envelopes with any number of breakpoints, and project your sounds in spatialization formats from simple stereo to multichannel speaker arrays.
Those "other" technologies referred to above include some recently developed methods, such as scanned synthesis (an offshoot of physical modeling), hyper-vectorial synthesis (a method for smooth cross-fading between waveforms), and wave terrain synthesis (which determines a waveform by scanning a 3D surface) and are all new worlds to me – areas of sound production waiting for further exploration.
Csound can function as a powerful sampler/rompler. Real-time audio and sound file I/O is supported by various opcodes, including some that allow permutation of pitch and time. Looping opcodes are available, again with pitch and time shifting. SoundFont playback is handled by a set of opcodes based on FluidSynth, a well-known, open source playback engine for sounds in the SoundFont SF2 format.
Csound's DSP capabilities are impressive. Opcodes are available for various reverb types, delay lines, chorusing units, flangers, and other commonly encountered effects. For those who like to have greater control, various filter types can be employed for designing your own equalizers, delay lines, and reverb units. Of course, a full complement of opcodes can be invoked for mixing, balancing, gating, compressing, and limiting the signals in your mix.
Personally, I find it odd that someone might want to use plugins with Csound, but why not? Linux users can employ their favorite LADSPA signal processing plugins through the
dssi4cs opcodes. Alas, DSSI plugins aren't supported yet, but it is on the to-do list. I hope to see it develop; I can imagine great possibilities with the amSynth and Hexter DSSI synthesizers wired into Csound's awesome capabilities.
Csound also supplies a set of utility programs designed for audio analysis, the results of which can be processed by associated resynthesis opcodes. For example, a file created by the hetro utility can be processed by
adsyn, its target opcode. The hetro analysis separates the original sound's frequency and temporal characteristics, thus permitting independent control of pitch and duration when resynthesized by the
adsyn opcode. Similar arrangements exist for the phase vocoder, LPC, ATSA, and convolution analysis utilities. Each is associated with an opcode or set of opcodes designed to process the utility's output file format. Time-stretching, pitch-shifting, and reverberation are some common applications of these tools.
The Test Bench
I'll look at Csound version 6.00, built and installed on a dual-core machine running Ubuntu 12.04 in 32-bit mode. My 64-bit box is currently under reconstruction, but I can testify that Csound runs perfectly well on 64-bit Debian and Arch systems. My Ubuntu boxes are always customized with KXStudio, an overlay that provides an audio-optimized system and a complete set of tools for getting right to work with music and sound on Linux.
Csound can be installed from the normal Ubuntu repos, but I've been rolling my own for so long I can't stop now. I compile Csound with activated options for OSC support, the Java and Python language interfaces, integrated FLTK graphics, and a few other personal preferences. However, the examples I'll present here require only a plain vanilla Csound.

Here is a column that I wrote for the Deseret News last year regarding Maundy Thursday (today), Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter — the culmination of Passion Week. The last three days are sometimes called "the Holy Triduum" or "the Three Holy Days" in Christian tradition.
Thursday was the day of the so-called Last Supper.
It was a Passover seder, a ritual meal commemorating the deliverance of Moses and the Children of Israel from bondage in Egypt.
Jews still celebrate Passover, and I myself have conducted a number of Passover seders for Latter-day Saints. (On Tuesday night, though it wasn't a fully-fledged seder, I demonstrated the basics of such a meal and service for about eighty people, mostly from our ward, and I'm slated to do an actual seder in a few weeks elsewhere.) The symbolism of the seder, and the echoes of the Exodus story — bondage, divine liberation, etc. — prefigure the Atonement of Christ brilliantly and memorably. And, of course, our sacrament (along with Christian communion generally) derives from that ancient Passover meal.

Friends and friendship define who we are and who we become. Is it changing in today's virtual world of social networks, asks
When Vincent Van Gogh cut off his ear, there were several interpretations offered for this morbid act of self destruction. Gauguin was living with Van Gogh in his home at that time in the small town of Arles. Gauguin influenced Van Gogh to paint from thought instead of using live subjects placed right in his line of vision. Gauguin played a key role in moulding and shaping some of Van Gogh's style during his productive years at Arles.
History is rife with examples of such men and women of great talent whose paths are crossed by mentors and guides. Sometimes the association serves as a catalyst to hasten progress in their chosen field of excellence. Many leaders and achievers acknowledge the role of great influencers who have played no small part in their quest for achievement, providing just the right impetus.
The friendship of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison is a case in point. Thomas Edison met Ford at a dinner banquet of Generic Electric where Ford was a young engineer. Thomas Edison was greatly impressed with Ford's car designs and his support and encouragement went a long way in the making of Ford's historic success in the auto industry.
Lifelong friendship
Ford and Edison remained inseparable friends. After Ford became a wealthy industrialist, he convinced Edison to participate in a lot of technical and scientific projects. As friends, they also spent vacations and camping trips together. Ford even moved into a seven bedroom home next door to Edison. Their estates were separated by a wooden fence but the gate always stood open and became known as the "friendship gate". Edison, who was quite a bit older than Ford, became confined to a wheel chair later in life. Ford, who was active and in good health, purchased a wheel chair for himself and together they both would race around the grounds in their wheel chairs.
Ford celebrated the 50th anniversary of the light bulb by establishing the Edison Institute. Later at the Banquet hall celebration, Edison played a tribute to Ford, saying, "I can only say that, in the fullest meaning of the term, he is my friend."
Great business minds such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have come together, driven by mutual commitment to the common goal of philanthropy. Gates was persuaded by his mother to be present for a meeting in 1991 which Warren Buffet also attended. Gates, though initially reluctant, hit it off immediately with Buffet. At Buffett's behest, Gates read the World Development Report, published by the World Bank that analysed poverty levels around the world. This sparked his intense interest in philanthropy and together Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have spearheaded the effort of spreading the notion of Corporate Philanthropy across the world.
Some of the greatest mentors in eastern cultures have been teachers. The teacher-pupil relationship can be very special and significant enough to be life changing. Many a time great teachers are always on the look out for a protégé as in the case of the famous Sufi poet Jalalludin Rumi. Rumi was born into wealth, power and high society. Shams was a powerful spiritual wanderer looking for a grand master student. Their association changed Rumi's life forever. Rumi went from a somewhat scholarly personality to an impassioned seeker of truth and divine love. Shams' sudden disappearance caused Rumi great grief and during the next couple of decades he became known as a great mystical poet. His message of universality resonates to this day.
Different flavours
Friendships between people takes on a different hue in Eastern cultures. The ease of familiarity with a best buddy translates to a different dynamic of speech and behaviour, one which may seem strange and unfamiliar to the Western world. Men can be seen on the streets of India walking about with their arms around each others' shoulders. There is more intimacy, both physical and verbal, between friends without sexuality being a factor. What is socially acceptable behaviour in the East is perplexing and maybe even suspicious to Western people. A recent book by Joseph Lelyveld, on the life of Mahatma Gandhi has sparked controversy on the nature of friendship between Gandhi and his German architect and bodybuilder friend, Hermann Kallenbach. This friendship and letters exchanged between Gandhi and Kallenbach really needs to be explored in the context of Eastern behavioral patterns as well as looked at temporally, in the context of the generation and timeframe in which this occurred.
Today, friendship is the top relationship people talk about. As family sizes have shrunk and many key relationships are not of your own choosing, friendship becomes the most convenient "try out for size" relationship. You can change friends, promote and demote friends, find long-lost friends, pick up the threads from a dormant friendship or kick friends out of your life. The pleasure you derive from a budding friendship or the pain you endure from a deteriorating friendship is more manageable and less life-changing.
New-age friendships are no longer as earth-shatteringly deep as the legendary friendships of two crooks in the blockbuster movie "Sholay". Even the light-hearted banter and camaraderie of the TV show "Friends" may be a bit passé. Recently, at the "Facebook orchestrated" high school reunion for my class of 83, an old pal gave me a rundown of the rules of engagement. "Just meet at the old school and have a good time. Asking the girls about their lives and significant others is out of bounds. Too many people are going thru too many personal transitions."
Again, as friendships become remote clicks of a button through social networks and the sharing of photos and videos on cyberspace becomes the de facto standard of participation in friends' lives, it remains to be seen if great mentors are produced in this way.

By Geoffrey Ciani: With the recent unification of the IBF/WBO by Wladimir Klitschko and the vicious knockout victory for Sam Peter over WBC champion Oleg Maskaev, it appears as if heavyweight boxing might finally be headed in the direction of unification. After all, in Klitschko, we have a unified champion for the first time since Lennox Lewis dumped his IBF belt instead of facing Chris Byrd, and it appears a rematch showdown between Klitschko and Peter is inevitable..
When Iron Mike Tyson defeated Tony Tucker on points back in 1987, he had technically become the first undisputed champion since Leon Spinks defeated Muhammad Ali about nine years earlier. Of course, he would maintain this distinction until succumbing to Buster Douglas in what many consider the biggest upset in sports history. Buster Douglas would go on to lose the undisputed championship in his very next fight against Evander Holyfield, who would ultimately lose it against Riddick Bowe after a trio of successful title defenses.
When Bowe threw the WBC version of the heavyweight title into a garbage can, it essentially symbolized the end of an era, and undisputed champions became a thing of the past. The question becomes, is there anything on the horizon that indicates a change in this unfortunate trend? Sadly, I think the answer is no, and unless there are some major changes made, I suspect we are entering a new status quo where splintered titles become the norm.
When Mike Tyson reigned supreme, the prerequisite for calling oneself the undisputed champion of the world generally meant that one had to be in simultaneous possession of the three major sanctioning body titlesthe WBA, the WBC, and the IBF. Today we also have the WBO, widely becoming recognized as a fourth such body, further complicating an already complicated subject matter. Let us briefly go over the history of the heavyweight championship from the time Bowe said to hell with the WBC.
Lennox Lewis was declared the new WBC champion and defended his new crown in a barnburner against fellow Brit, Frank Bruno. Meanwhile, Bowe would defend the WBA/IBF against the likes of Michael Dokes and Jesse The Boogeyman Ferguson while WBO champion Tommy Morrison made successful defenses against George Foreman and Tim Tomashek. 1993 closed out with Morrison being knocked out by Michael Bent and Holyfield winning his rematch with Bowe.
In 1994, Herbie Hide stopped Bent to win the WBO, Holyfield dropped a decision against Michael Moorer costing him the WBA/IBF trinkets, and Lennox Lewis defeated Phil Jackson before losing a stunner at the hands of Oliver McCall. The 45 year old Big George Foreman would go on to make history when he defeated the 26 year old Moorer, making him the oldest heavyweight champion in history. The victory earned Foreman the WBA/IBF straps, but also sent things into even more of a tailspin.
In 1995, Bowe beat Seldon for the WBO, Foreman defended his IBF in a disputed decision over Axel Schulz, Bruce Seldon beat Tony Tucker for the WBA which was recently vacated by Big George, and McCall was bested by Bruno after having made a successful defense against Larry Holmes. Confused yet? It gets better. Francois Botha would end the year by winning the vacant IBF strap against the aforementioned Schultz when Foreman was stripped of his lone remaining belt, meaning, even though he had not lost a fight, Foreman no longer held any belts.
The four belts remained splintered throughout all of 1996 and most of 1997, often changing hands between many of the aforementioned names, with additions like Mike Tyson (freshly released from prison) and Henry Akinwande joining the mix. In November of 1997, we finally had another unified champion for the first time since Foreman dropped the WBA when Evander Holyfield defeated Michael Moorer in a rematch which reunified the WBA and IBF.
In 1999, at long last, we would have another bout for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world! This all went down in March when IBF/WBA titlist Evander Holyfield was pitted against WBC champion Lennox Lewis. At the time, Vitali Klitschko was the reigning WBO champion, but that never precluded the powers that be from selling Holyfield-Lewis as the bout for all the marbles. Perhaps an argument can be made that the WBO was still not yet as well respected, but whatever the case may be, fans were still left dissatisfied when the Holyfield-Lewis contest was inexplicably declared a draw in a match clearly won by Lewis.
Later that year, fans would be afforded the chance to see these two square off again, and at the end of another lackluster affair, Lewis was declared the victor and, ergo, the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world since Bowe dumped the WBC belt which, incidentally, Lewis had literally picked out of the trash can some six years earlier. Hooray! We had an undisputed champion!
Sadly, this was short-lived, as Lewis would be stripped of the WBA in his very next contest when he decided to defend against the universally recognized number one contender Michael Grant rather than the WBA number one contender, John Ruiz, who was best known for his humiliating 19 second loss at the hands of David Tuaman Tua. So much for having an undisputed champion! *sigh*
Here we are, eight years later, and we are still no closer to having anyone unify the championship. The way the game is set-up, it is unlikely we will ever have an undisputed champion, and even if we do in brief spurts here and there, the status quo will inevitably shift the momentum in favor of splintered champions causing fans to become more and more disinterested in the sport. Such is heavyweight boxing of today. If Wladimir Klitschko, Sam Peter, or some other pugilist does ever manage to unify three or more belts, rest assured, it will be short lived, as evidenced by the last fifteen years.
