Pramana Introduces New and Innovative Web Security Platform Preventing Automated Attacks to Online Properties
ATLANTA, July 16 /PRNewswire/ — Pramana, Inc., announced today the release of its leading-edge HumanPresent(TM) online abuse and prevention solution with initial focus in four major markets, including financial services, online gaming & gambling, webmail and internet service providers, and social networking sites.
HumanPresent(TM) is a technology solution that establishes a transparent security framework allowing online enterprises to distinguish human communications from fraudulent bot or software-generated activity in real time. Both non-intrusive and invisible to the end-user, the solution verifies legitimate and desired Internet use and prevents and remediates fraudulent activity without any device dependence. HumanPresent(TM) also monitors and validates the entire user session from the beginning of a transaction to the end and defeats human CAPTCHA entry teams and other CAPTCHA breaking methods.
According to Pramana Chief Executive Officer, David Crowder, while the technology solution can be used by any business with any online presence, the company is focusing its initial efforts in markets that are highly susceptible to fraud from increasingly malicious botnets.
"Botnets have become exceptionally sophisticated and pervasive," says Crowder, "and, our proactive solution is designed to constantly evolve and stay a step ahead of attacks. Our goal is to reduce fraud and abuse for our clients, so they can focus on their day-to-day operations and protect their business."
Additionally, Gartner Research reported that, "Just examining a login or access to a website is not enough for companies that are subject to sophisticated fraud attacks, because these functions are increasingly easy for fraudsters to spoof."
"Like all ISPs, we take security measures to reduce SPAM originating from our network," says Julie Compann, CEO, ZCorum, who participated in Pramana's early pilot program and now is a client. "Our standard solution, a CAPTCHA, requires additional information when logging into Webmail, which can be an annoyance to customers. Pramana's HumanPresent(TM) technology offers an elegant security solution that is transparent to the end user and effective in stopping SPAM and automated account access."
Conceived at the Georgia Institute of Technology's College of Computing, Pramana was founded in June 2007 and is headquartered in Alpharetta, Ga., with a development office in India. Pramana delivers the most powerful, comprehensive, device-independent security framework to prevent financial fraud and reputation hacking through its patent-pending, easy-to-deploy HumanPresent(TM) solution.

Celebs who put carriage before marriage
By N.F. Mendoza and Molly McGonigle
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage. Well, not always. ... Nowadays many people are starting families before officially tying the knot. Let's take a look at Kim Kardashian, Olivia Wilde, Mila Kunis and more celebs whose engagement announcements went out in the mail around the same time as birth announcements.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
Baggage: Well, her marriage to Kris Humphries lasted approximately 72 days, after a whole lot of hoopla. But the reality-TV star found love in her longtime friend, Kanye West, in early 2012.
Baby carriage: On New Year's Eve 2012, Kanye gave a shout-out mid-concert to his baby mama. Kim and Kanye welcomed daughter, North, into the world on June 15, 2013.
Marriage: May 24, 2014
Footnotes: After Kanye popped the question to Kim on her birthday on Oct. 21, 2013, the two spared no expense for a wedding in Florence. They even had a week of celebrations before the wedding in Paris. Talk about fancy!

|Ferentz's future son-in-law to get new supervisor
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 07 March 2013 13:08
Athletic director Gary Barta said Thursday that Tyler Barnes would now be supervised by Rick Klatt, who oversees the department's marketing and media relations. He said Barnes had been a model employee, but the change in supervision was necessary because Barnes is planning to marry Ferentz's 25-year-old daughter in July.
The announcement comes after The Gazette (http://bit.ly/WwOH3L) reported Ferentz didn't disclose the relationship earlier to Barta.
University records show that Ferentz last fall sought and received permission to extend Barnes' temporary position for a second year through Jan. 2014. Barta says a university review will determine Barnes' ``long-term employment options.''

Care & Storage
Finding a good dry cleaner
Im in the process of relocating, and one of the biggest hassles is finding a new dry cleaner. I cant stand the idea of leaving my precious articles with an unknown. Also, some of my suits keep getting shinier with each trip to the cleaners. Why is this happening? Is it reversible?
To find a good dry cleaner, I would suggest you ask at the best mens store in your area. This has worked for me. I found the best dry cleaner in Manhattan by asking at Comme des Garçons, and I found the best tailor for alterations and repairs by asking at Armani. As for the shine issue, this is something that happens with flatter-finished fabrics over time. Such suits should not be pressed; they should be steamed.

by Kent Appel, photo by Chris Farina - Top Rank: After two largely uneventful rounds in Temecula, California which saw former heavyweight champion Hasim The Rock Rahman holding a slight edge on the basis of a busier left jab over former multiple division champion James Lights Out Toney, it was determined that Rahman was unable to continue just one round later, after the third round, complaining he couldn't see clearly.
Toney was getting untracked in that third round clearly winning the round by landing several right leads to Rahmans head, a good left hook, and the best punch of the fight up by either fighter to that point, a right hand to the head that punctuated a good left jab, however it was a clash of the heads of the two fighters that caused a cut above the left eye of Rahman, which the doctor ruled was not big enough to warrant stopping the fight, that appeared to cause the damage that ended the fight..
So I can't see how this can be ruled a TKO because Rahmans blurry vision was almost certainly caused by the accidental head butt, not by the punches Toney had landed.
Apparently it was ruled a TKO loss for Rahman rather than a No Decision for both fighters because Rahman had indicated he couldn't continue due to his vision problem.
Pending a certain appeal by the Rahman camp to the California State Athletic Commission and to the NABO, which sanctioned the fight, Toney improves his record to 71-6-3, KO 44 while Rahman is now 45-7-2, KO 36.
My first impression of the two fighters was that neither fighter looked sharp. Toney, 226 pounds, looked a little sluggish as did Rahman, 244 pounds, and although Toney did land the best punches of the fight in the third round, no questions were answered by either fighter as to whether either of them can seriously challenge for the heavyweight title. Three rounds was just not enough time to see what these two veteran fighters have left.

Former bank officer receives jail, fine for cheating offences and assisting loan shark
Published on Jan 16, 2014 2:24 PM
In 2011 and 2012, Manisah Mohamed Ariff, then a DBS bank officer, fabricated lucrative investment schemes to cheat a distant relative of $110,000. Now unemployed and heavily pregnant with her first child, the 33-year-old was jailed for 15 months and fined $30,000 on Thursday for the cheating offences and for assisting a loan shark.
A district court heard that in mid-2011, she convinced Ms Zaiton Junid to "invest" $50,000 in a foreign exchange investment scheme allegedly operated by a forex brokerage firm in Cyprus.
Investors were to receive $625 a month over 10 years, amounting to a total payment of $75,000, but payments to Ms Zaiton stopped after the fifth month. However, Manisah was able to talk her relative into handing over another $60,000 to participate in a DBS Employees Share Option programme in July 2012. This, too, was fictitious.
In September 2012, Ms Zaiton suspected she had been cheated and made a police report. Police investigations then revealed that in June 2012, Manisah had assisted a loan shark by handing over an ATM card and allowing the unlicensed moneylender to use her bank account for his illegal business.

By JADE CHAN
PETALING Jaya residents, especially those living near the Tropicana City Mall, are worried that the tight traffic situation will turn chaotic when the entire Tropicana City project is completed.
The mall, located at the intersection between the Sprint Highway and Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP), is part of a mixed commercial development that includes Tropicana City Business Park (formerly known as Damansara Intan e-Business Park), and the soon-to-be-completed Tropicana City Office Tower and Tropicana City Tropics Service Suites.
The 12-storey office tower block is scheduled to be completed by the middle of this year, while the 601-unit Tropics Service Suites block is expected to be completed by the first quarter of next year.
It has been reported that the mall developer would also build two ramps costing RM17mil to provide better access to the mall.
According to PJ Utara MP Tony Pua, the major issue now is how to address the traffic problem.
"While the ramp to Jalan Daman-sara Lama will help as residents will have a direct route when heading towards Kuala Lumpur, instead of having to do a U-turn at the LDP, I'm not sure what it will be like once both ramps are opened," Pua said.
"The access road to the project is badly designed and dangerous as it is quite a blind-sided road.
"There is no contingency for emergencies and one accident will cause a massive traffic backlog," he said.
Pua said residents had wondered why the mall was allowed to open for business although its premises and ramps were not fully completed.
"What is needed is a complete overhaul of the public transport system, although the local council has no significant control of it in Petaling Jaya," he said.
Pua also urged developers to include public transport plans for future developments and for those of existing developments.
Councillor Cynthia Gabriel, who sits on the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) Traffic and Infrastructure Committee, agrees with Pua on the need for a more efficient public transport system.
"We are now discussing and finalising several proposals to provide greater access to LRT stations within housing areas and shopping malls," Cynthia said.
"There is a fear that the present infrastructure isn't able to accommodate the increasing traffic flow, and we are now faced with the real concern of over-density and over-development in the newer parts of Petaling Jaya.
"It is essential for the macro traffic study for the whole of PJ to be done without delay, and the MBPJ plans to start it this year," Cynthia said.
According to All-Petaling Jaya Residents Associations Coalition (APAC) chairman Liew Wei Beng, the present traffic congestion is already very bad, and he could not imagine what it would be like once the entire Tropicana City project is fully occupied.
"This project and its traffic dispersal system weren't properly planned.
" The MBPJ should engage an independent traffic consultant to do a comprehensive traffic study and not rely on the developer's consultant," Liew said.
"This should be done soon to give the MBPJ time to do something before the occupancy qualification certificate is given for the occupants to move into the offices and apartments," he said.
Tropicana City Sdn Bhd senior general manager Tan Hoi Kwan attributed the cause of the congestion to the backlog of traffic, and insisted that it was not because of the mall.
"On one side is the backlog from the LDP for those heading towards the Sunway-Puchong direction; on the other side is the backlog from the Sprint Expressway (Damansara Link)," he said.
"To facilitate the turn in and out of Jalan SS2/72 and on the Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA) recommendations, we have created an additional lane as a slow lane." Tan said.
"Before this lane was included, the interchange from Sprint to the LDP was only two lanes," he said.
On the two ramps to facilitate access to the mall, Tan said the first ramp to Jalan Damansara Lama, for KL-bound traffic, was recently opened.
"We'll be starting work soon on the second ramp, which links the mall directly to the Sprint Expressway, for the NKVE Expressway-bound traffic.
"Construction work is expected to start within a month and completed by the third quarter of this year," Tan said.
On the traffic situation following the complete occupation of the office tower and service apartments, Tan said the increase in traffic volume would not be substantial and the impact would be minimal.

Luckily the street markets and churches were just about reachable, although made more difficult by the amount of children following and asking for money. ...

Bassmaster Classic title has eluded some top anglers
"I've always wanted to win this," said Grigsby, who has won nine times on tour and over $1.8 million. "But you know, Roland Martin never won it, and I'm not picking on Roland, but he was one of the greatest anglers we had out here. Look at Gary Klein, Aaron Martens. Look at Dan Marino in football. He's one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play, but he never won a Super Bowl. I'd love to win it, but I'm not one of the greatest anglers who ever lived by any means. There are guys here like Kevin Van Dam and Denny Brauer. Those guys are incredible anglers. I'm not chopped liver, but it just hasn't come together for me. I do know I can win one. I've been close. Will I win one? Will it happen? If it doesn't, I've had a great career. If it does, I will be crying my eyes out. It will be bigger than big."
Aaron Martens' story of being a self-taught angler and tackle-maker truly is an American classic. Some have nicknamed him "The Natural," and he likes that.
A native of West Hills, Calif., Martens, 39, now lives in Leeds, Ala., and is a regular force on the BASS Tour. This is his 13th Classic, and he hasn't won, but he has four second-place finishes in the Classic, two to four-time Classic champ Kevin Van Dam, one last year on the Louisiana Delta and a heartbreaker in 2005 on Pittsburgh's Three Rivers when he believes he released a fish that would have won it.
Martens fishes these days with a heavy heart because his father, Jerry, is battling a debilitating disease, polyneuropathy, a rare nerve disorder, that limits his mobility. His mother, Carol, was his fishing partner when he was learning how to fish. They fished team tournaments together.
"My dad is the same, holding steady, but he can't come here," Martens said. "He and my mom really miss these. My mom is missing it bad. I miss seeing them."
Martens has made an incredible change in his body appearance by getting back into running. He runs up to 45 miles a week and has finished two half-marathons. His goal is to run in full marathons, but his really important goal is to win the Classic. He thinks his workouts have made him a better angler.
"Everyone is saying I'm skinny, but I say I'm lean," Martens said. "I didn't lose any muscle. I just got lean. I feel like I'm 20 again."
To make his point, Martens describes how he could, upon request, jump from table to table at the media day gathering. No one requested it, so he stood still for a minute.
"I could do that right now and not fall once," he said. "That's what kind of shape I'm in right now. It's amazing what it does for you. The mobility I have and the way I feel. I have energy all day, and it's incredible."
In addition to making strides physically, Martens also appears to have reached a place in his mind where the four seconds in the Classic don't haunt him. He jokes about it, flashes over it like it's no big deal. It's in the past, he said, at least that's what he's saying. If there are scars, he has overrun them with all the miles running.
"Have to think that way, that it's in the past," he said. "That's it. You have to. Can't let it get to you. You believe in God and put it in God's hands and that makes it a lot easier. When it does happen, it will be that much more special."

Scientist at UFZ and Caltech now developed a method that solves this problem. Pernthaler and co-workers attached small ironbeads to the microorganisms of interest and pulled them out of the deep sea sediment by simply applying a magnet. These microbes are Archaea, which cooperate with sulfate reducing Bacteria to perform a thermodynamically tricky process: the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM). These poorly understood consortia are globally distributed in oceanic sediments above methane hydrates and provide a significant sink for methane by substantially reducing the export of this potent greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. After sequencing the genomes of the purified syntrophic consortia, Pernthaler and co-workers could find all genes responsible for AOM. The scientist also discovered an unexpected diversity in the bacterial partners of this syntrophic association, which may play a role in the performance of AOM. Pernthaler and co-workers also found genes for N2 fixation and demonstrated in lab experiments that the AOM archaea are indeed fixing N2. These results are intriguing, especially since the fixation of N2 is energetically expensive processes and the energy gained by AOM is low. The potential for metabolic versatility combined with the ability to form pa

Veloloop lets bicycles trigger traffic light sensors
October 14, 2014
If you're a regular bicycle commuter, then you've no doubt experienced the following scenario: you're the only vehicle going in your direction at a controlled intersection, and the light is red, but it won't change to green because the traffic sensors embedded in the asphalt can't register your presence. Well, that's where the Veloloop comes in. It's designed to make those sensors think that your bike is a car. Read More
While shifts between the sprockets on a bike's cassette are generally quite fast and crisp, going between the chainrings up front is definitely a slower, more awkward affair. In an effort to make things quicker and easier, Poland's Efneo has developed a 3-speed planetary gearbox to take the place of the front derailleur. Read More
If there's one recurring complaint about conventional bicycles, it's that the saddles hurt peoples' nether regions. As a result, we've seen ergonomic seats that have no material in the middle, that are made up of independently-moving ribs, and that move around with the rider. One of the latest, the Reprieve Bicycle Saddle, combines a dipped middle with an inflatable nose. Read More
Floating cycle path proposed for the River Thames
October 3, 2014
Though cycling can be a great way to get around London, cyclists often need to share road space with fast-moving cars and vans. The River Cycleway Consortium, which includes Hugh Broughton Architects and engineering firm Arup, proposes to build a £600 million (roughly US$965 million) cycle path that floats on the Thames and offers cyclists a safer way of navigating the city.

Indoor bicycle trainers may allow cyclists to keep fit and go through the physical motions of riding a bike, but let's be honest ... as compared to actually riding outdoors, they're stunningly boring. Among other things, one of the problems is the fact that riders tend to use them in isolation, with no real incentive to push themselves. Zwift, however, is designed to change that. It's a massive multiplayer online game (MMOG) platform that lets real-world cyclists ride with or race against one another in 3D computer-generated online environments. Just think of it as World of Warcraft for riders. Read More

Quick Caps made to thwart bicycle wheel thieves
September 29, 2014
While quick-release hubs certainly make it easier for cyclists to remove and reinstall their wheels when doing things like fixing flats, they also make it very easy to steal those same wheels. As a result, riders typically have to remove the front wheel when locking up their bike, or run a secondary cable lock from it to the main U-lock. Quick Caps, however, are designed to make doing so unnecessary – they're little padlocks for the quick-release levers. Read More
Double O bike lights are designed not to dazzle – or get stolen
September 25, 2014
As bicycle headlights continue to get brighter, a certain problem is starting to occur – they can actually be too bright, blinding oncoming drivers and cyclists. Lessening their output isn't a particularly appealing solution, so British designer Paul Cocksedge came up with an alternative. His Double O lights distribute the individual LEDs out around a ring, instead of concentrating them in a searing cluster. The lights also offer a few other handy features. Read More
Nikola pedals are designed to let you cycle like a skater
September 23, 2014
When Nick Stevovich analyzed speed skaters and cyclists, he noticed that the two groups use different sets of muscles to propel themselves forward. It occurred to him that if cyclists could use both of those muscle groups, their pedaling power might increase. The result is the Nikola pedal, which slides out to the side in order to help bring that skating movement to cycling. Read More
New lorry design could save cyclists' lives
By Dave LeClair
September 23, 2014
A UK team at Loughborough University is proposing a new cab design for lorries that would offer drivers a better view of the road around them, thus potentially saving the lives of pedestrians and cyclists. According to the researchers, the redesign of the cab could offer a 50-percent increase in front and side field of view, compared to traditional cabs. Read More

DERRY MATHEWS insists he wouldnt have agreed to face Anthony Crolla unless Danny Vaughan returned to his corner. The Liverpool ace (29-6-1) had been trained by Oliver Harrison, but was re-united with former handler Vaughan for Saturdays challenge against British lightweight champion Anthony Crolla (23-2).
Mathews, 28, set up training camps in Scotland and Spain ahead of his test against Crolla at Oldham Sports Centre.
He said: I am back with my old trainer, Danny Vaughan and that is the reason I took this fight.
I got offered it and if Danny had said no to training me I wouldnt have taken the fight.
I have been away, had great sparring, prepared right and everything is going good.
Mathews is the underdog when he faces improving Crolla, but promised: From the first bell to the last it is going to be non-stop action.
I know how good Anthony is and I am expecting to face a good, strong fit opponent and I havent look past him.

Ashley Sexton to fight on May 3rd
Rising flyweight talent Ashley Sexton features on Queensberry Promotions debut of the exciting new concept show BoxAcademy on BoxNation (Sky Ch. 456/Virgin Ch. 546) on Thursday 3rd May at The Troxy in London.
Unbeaten in twelve fights, the Cheshunt fighter will go in over eight rounds.
Name: Ashley Sexton
Born: Edmonton, north London
Age: 24
Family background: Im the eldest of three. Ive a younger brother and a younger sister. Im the only one in the family whos boxed but Ive heard Im distantly related to Archie Sexton (a 1933 British and Empire middleweight challenger from Bethnal Green).
Today I live in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire with my fiancée Natalie. Ive three kids, Archie (5), Indie Summer (3) and Tiger Manny (1).
Trade: I do a bit of labouring. I went to college to do gas installation and passed everything so Ive that to fall back on but I turned pro at 20. What Id like to do is personal training; nothing better than walking around all day looking at a gym full of women and getting paid good money!
Nickname: Flash, partly because I had some proper flash moves and partly cos I scored a flash knockdown in my fourth schoolboy fight. Danny Oliver, Spencers brother, called me it and it stuck.
What age did you become interested in boxing and why? As a young kid I werent very athletic. I was into insects and bugs, and loved going fishing; a bit of a geek! Where we lived, around Tottenham and Wood Green, was pretty rough. My school was pretty rough and, if you couldnt defend yourself, youd get eaten alive. Dad took me to everything; kick-boxing, karate, judo but I enjoyed the boxing on a social level. I became good friends with Darren and Gary Barker after he took me to the Finchley gym when I was seven or eight.
What do you recall of your amateur career? I had my first fight, aged 11, at 30 kilos! For the first four years I stayed at Finchley and was trained by Jimmy Oliver, Spencers dad. At 15, I moved to the Cheshunt ABC where I was coached by Mark Bliss, once a Southern Area featherweight champion then finished off at the Haringey club under (trainer) Brian John.
I had 97 fights and lost less than 25. I won the Minors, two national schoolboy titles, was robbed in the Junior ABA finals up in Huddersfield, then bagged two NACYPs. Twice I got to the semi-final of the English (senior) ABAs but was stitched up against Liverpools Paul Edwards (2006), then beaten fair and square by Adam Whitfield of the Army (2008). Both went on to win the title.
Against Edwards, I thought I dominated but, in four rounds, was only given one point, other than those given against him for persistent holding. Ridiculous! Hopefully, hell move up to superfly in the pros so I can right the wrong. That needs addressing!
I must have had 30 odd internationals and represented England at every level from the age of 12. I went to the European Schools in Rome, the European Cadets in Estonia and the European Juniors in Lithuania but never managed a medal. I also went to France, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Ghana and the US many, many times. I once boxed a Cuban, Salanas, whod beaten Yuri Gamboa and Guillermo Rigondeaux.
The highlight was representing England abroad. I shared a room with Amir Khan for many years and fellas like Bradley Skeete and Georgie Groves who were also on the squad will remain friends until I die.
I was never a computer boxer, always had a fight, so Im very content to walk away with four national titles. I exceeded expectations and saw places Id otherwise never see. My one regret was that I never bagged a senior ABA title. I let myself down there.
Why did you decide to turn pro when you did? I knew I never really had a style to succeed at the Olympics because I got involved too much, liked everyone to enjoy my fights. Knowing I was small, I always watched the lighter pros like Jimmy Yelland, Ian Napa, Martin Power, Spenny, the Booth brothers, Johnny Armour...Like them, I wanted my name to be up in lights.
Tell us about your back up team: Up until my British title draw with Shinny Baayer (May 2010), I was trained by Paul Rees, managed by Mickey Helliet and promoted by Frank Maloney. Afterwards, I wanted a change. Perhaps I was trying to shift the blame but I left Paul on amicable terms, saw out my contract with Mickey and moved to Hayemaker.
There, I was trained mostly by Pete Marcasiano, David Hayes strength and conditioning coach and learned loads of new stuff. I had two fights in Germany on Haye undercards and one in the UK when Darren Barker fought for the European title. Pete was a terrific guy but I found it hard to adapt to Hayemakers way of fighting, I wasnt a natural counterpuncher like George or David. Pete no longer had time to give me his full attention and, after a few months and no fights with Spencer Oliver, I apologised to Paul Rees and went back to him and Mickey. I found the grass werent greener!
I trust them implicitly and that makes a big difference. Before the split, because I went a few fights unbeaten, everyone was blowing smoke up my arse and, if Im honest, I got caught up a bit in the hype. Ive grown up a lot since and Im glad it happened then. Ive become a better person and better fighter because of it.
I first met Paul when I was at the Finchley. Because he shuns the limelight, hes very underrated. He doesnt get the ABA champions but converts average fighters into good fighters. With a good fighter, which I believe I am, I think he can make em world class.
I can still call Pete and Ruben Tabares from Hayemaker for advice. Rubens knowledge of nutrition is second to none and, strength wise, Pete could turn you into The Incredible Hulk if he wanted!
Whats your training schedule? Which parts do you most and least enjoy? I used to have a fight then go missing on holiday for five weeks and eat my body weight! However, after my last fight on a Friday night, I was back in the gym sparring six rounds the following Monday.
If Im working, Ill be up for a five to six mile run before going to work then Ill hit the gym immediately after. Four weeks before a fight, I give up the labouring. Thats the only way you can get 100%.
In camp, I move into my Nans to isolate myself from the kids. Ill arrive at The Monster Gym in Cheshunt around midday and, after Pauls taped my hands, Ill do rounds of shadow boxing, pads, bags, a circuit, some skipping, maybe a bit of cross trainer or some sprints on the machine, then stretch out. It varies. Paul makes it up as he goes along.
Two or three days a week, Ill spar with guys like Brad Watson, Phil Gill and Andy Smith, a southpaw who works my corner. Later, I might do another weight session or more cardio and two days a week I do fitness work with a guy called Ben Cormack. But I never kill myself. Im mindful of overtraining.
Also, I go away as a paid sparring partner. I once did two and a half weeks in the French Alps with Brahim Asloum (the 2000 Olympic light-fly gold medallist and ex WBA light-fly champion). I was looked after very well and learnt a lot. Recently, I spent 10 days in Italy with Andrea Sarritzu (the former European flyweight champion and a recent IBF challenger).
Sparring is what I most enjoy. I just love to fight. Theres no pressure on you and it depends on my mood. Sometimes I mess around, other times, Ill go for the guy. I least like making weight. It can ruin careers if you dont respect it. I used to eat take aways out of training but now I keep my weight lower. Today, I never walk around above nine stone.
Describe your style? What are your best qualities? Im a leave it all in the ring guy, an action fighter. Recently, someone wrote Im a warrior by nature. I liked that. I like my fans to get their moneys worth. I like to impose myself, apply educated pressure off the jab, pin em on the ropes and hit em hard with every shot.
What specifically do you need to work on to fully optimise your potential as a fighter? My defence definitely still needs addressing. I take too many, sometimes. When I sparred Sarritzu, he werent the most technical but he really shelled up and took hardly any punishment. Thats how you succeed at the very top level.
What have you found to be the biggest difference between the pro and amateur codes? Not having to score points. Also, theyd pull you apart whenever you got close in the amateurs. I like to work inside and throw people about. The pro refs allow you to work yourselves out of clinches, provided youre not holding.
Who is the best opponent that youve shared a ring with? Probably Wayne McCullough. I sparred him at his garage gym over in Vegas. I was only about 14 but he bashed me up with body shots and stuck the nut on me nose! He was class. Straight after, his wife Cheryl came into the ring wearing six inch heels and gave him a serious pad session. Amazing!
The best home fighter Ive faced would be Rendall Munroe. He was as strong in round ten as he was in round one and was just very good all round.
All time favourite fighter: Between Marco Antonio Barrera, a proper warrior who was technically very good, and Mike Tyson who was just ferocious. Ive met Tyson a few times and he was always a really nice bloke.
All time favourite fight: Barrera-Morales I. Both were world class fighters who gave it everything and really hated each other!
Which current match would you most like to see made? Mayweather-Pacquiao. Its The Fight, isnt it. I think Mayweather beats him; too big and too cute.
What is your routine on fight day? If in London, I set no alarm and just wake when I wake, then spend another hour in bed, dozing. Ill have a nice breakfast then have a shower and a shave. Sometimes, Ill get my haircut. I need to look my best. Afterwards, Ill chill out with a DVD or on the Internet. I might watch some boxing.
In the build up to every fight, I get myself a good book to read in the dressing room on the night of the fight. I start getting changed an hour, hour and a half, before Im due in the ring. Ill flick out on the pads then its time to go.
Entrance music: Its always the first few bars of Flash by Queen followed by something different for every fight.
What are your ambitions as a boxer? This year I definitely want to make my way to the British and Commonwealth super flyweight titles. After that, its a bit awkward as the divisions not recognized by the EBU yet. That said, fighters with less fights than me have contested world titles over in the Far East. Hopefully, I can be manoeuvred into the right positions.
How do you relax? Generally I spend time with the kids and catch up with mates. You dont get time when youre stuck away in camp. Were all football mad so watch matches at the pub or play over the field. Im no good but Im definitely the fittest!
Football team: Mad Arsenal fan. I cant commit to a season ticket but can always get tickets when I need them and I go regularly.
Read: It used to be biographies; Che Guevera, Fidel Castro....Recently, Ive really got into Stieg Larsson novels; The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy.
Music: Mainly Indie Rock. I like The Stereophonics and Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
Films/TV: I like films with the big name actors. If Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp or Will Smith is in it, you know its likely to be good. On TV, I love a bit of Shameless and Ive just started getting into Entourage and Jersey Shore.
Aspiration in life: To be remembered as a fighter who always gave you your moneys worth.
Motto: Seize The Day!

JESSE HART Signs with Top Rank
LAS VEGAS, NEV. (April 20, 2012) Top Rank announced the signing of amateur sensation JESSE HART to an exclusive long-term promotional agreement today. Hart, son of Eugene Cyclone Hart, a highly-rated middleweight contender in the late 60s and early 70s who in 2003 was named to the The Rings list of 100 greatest punchers of all time, will be making his professional debut, as a middleweight, on the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley, Jr. World Welterweight Championship, Saturday, June 9 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nev.
Hart, 22, is looking to continue the long and illustrious lineage of great Philadelphia-based middleweight fighters. He compiled an amateur record of 85-11, highlighted by a stellar 2011 which included winning the National Golden Gloves at 165 lbs., the USA National Tournament at 178 lbs and going undefeated at the double elimination USA Olympic Trials box-offs. Hart also tied the knot last August, marrying childhood sweetheart Starletto Brayboy-Hart. The Harts are expecting their first child, a daughter who will be named Halo, in August.
Hart, who signed on with the Philadelphia-based D&D Management, where he will be co-managed by Alfred Doc Nowicki and David Price, will continue training with his father.
Eugene Cyclone Hart fought in Philadelphia in an era of unbelievable middleweight talent. Now we have the opportunity to promote Jesse Hart, the son of the Cyclone, said Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum. We hope Jesse will be a future superstar which will make all of us, including his father, very proud.
I always admired Top Rank, Bob Arum is the best! They are and have been the premier boxing promoters for over 30-40 years, said Hart.
As an amateur Jesse won 85 fights and a lot of gold medals. He is a very skilled fighter who has knockout power. We think he is a future world champion, said Nowicki.
"I am very excited that Jesse has signed with D&D Management as well as a promotional deal with Top Rank, said Price. I think that everyone involved, especially the fans will thoroughly enjoy watching the career of Jesse Hart."

4 French taken captive in Niger free after 3 years
PARIS Four Frenchmen taken hostage by al-Qaida extremists in Niger have been released after three years of captivity and a French-led military intervention in the region that weakened the Islamic radicals.
French President Francois Hollande announced the release Tuesday and credited Niger President Mahamadou Issoufou, who later appeared on television with the hostages. The men, who worked for the Areva nuclear company when taken, had long beards and some wore turbans and brown robes. They did not speak.
Niger Foreign Affairs Minister Mohamed Bazoum told The Associated Press that the hostages - Pierre Legrand, Thierry Dol, Marc Feret and Daniel Larribe -were freed in neighboring Mali and taken to Niamey, Niger's capital.
Officials gave few details on the release, but the French defense minister said there was no assault and that France did not pay a ransom. "There was an initiative taken by the network" of the Niger president "which allowed the liberation without a clash," Jean-Yves Le Drian told France's TF 1 television.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and Le Drian traveled to Niamey to bring the four Frenchmen home. Speaking from there on French TV, Fabius said the freed captives are "in good shape" now that "the nightmare is over." He added that the group would reach home by late Wednesday morning.
The four freed Frenchmen were captured in September 2010 by the North African wing of al-Qaida and spirited from their dormitories in the town of Arlit, Niger, where Areva, a French state-run nuclear company, operates a uranium mine.
Officials had long suspected the hostages were being held in northern Mali, a harsh desert area where there is no tree cover and the blazing midday heat can soar to 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). Previous hostages have recounted being bitten by scorpions.
The question of whether ransom was paid to procure their release immediately rose to the fore.
Hollande had made clear his government would not pay ransoms to free French captives. That sparked an outcry from families of French captives in West Africa, where hostage-taking has been a lucrative business for radicals. Fear was redoubled when in January France invaded Mali as part of an anti-terror offensive.
Pascal Lupart, who, as the head of an association representing friends and families of the hostages, is in touch with those investigating the case, said he was told Areva paid a ransom for the captives. He did not know the amount, however, and an Areva press officer, Julien Duperray, refused to comment on the claim.
Former French Defense Minister Gerard Longuet also downplayed the notion - held by many who have observed the case - that Areva would pay a ransom in lieu of a direct payment by the government. "One cannot imagine that a state company would do the contrary" and pay to free the men, Longuet said on BFM-TV.
Global intelligence company Stratfor estimates that al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, has carried out at least 18 kidnappings since 2003, raising an estimated $89 million in ransom payments.

Argentina rights activist finds stolen grandson after 35 years
Published on Aug 6, 2014 5:21 AM
BUENOS AIRES (AFP) - The 83-year-old head of the Argentinian movement which works to track down babies stolen by the country's brutal 1976-83 military dictatorship has found her grandson after a 35-year search, a relative said on Tuesday.
Estela Carlotto, who leads the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo group, was able on Tuesday to meet her kidnapped
grandson, said a relative, who said the identity was confirmed through genetic testing.
"The result of the test was positive. We have found my nephew after 35 years," said Kivo Carlotto, son of Estela, whose sister Laura disappeared during the dictatorship while pregnant.
While the family was overjoyed to find their missing relative, it was also "a terrible feeling," said Kivo Carlotto, who said the test results confirming who his mother was, was also "a terrible shock" for his nephew.

'After Earth' joins exclusive ultra-HD movie club
Monday - 6/3/2013, 7:12pm EDT
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Sony Corp. is taking a deeper dive into ultrahigh-definition video as it comes out Friday with "After Earth," the first of Sony's three movies this year both shot and presented in the emerging 4K digital format. At a screening for journalists, I got a close-up look at even the pores on Will Smith's face as details were rendered with greater clarity on the big screen.
Sony and other consumer electronics makers are betting that 4K images will become the new standard, prompting consumers to buy fancier TVs just as they did when high definition, or HD, rolled out over the past decade. It could also entice more people to buy movie tickets to see for themselves what the super-clear format is like.
But the more detailed images present a host of problems. They use four times the number of pixels as the current HD standard, which results in larger data files. Budget-strapped digital effects companies are having trouble handling all that data. The cost and time to deal with the extra visual information means the majority of the special effects shots in "After Earth" -- comprising about a third of all the shots in the movie -- were actually worked on in lower-resolution HD.
At the screening I attended, I could see details I've never noticed before -- the actors' tiny skin imperfections, or Smith's salt-and-pepper whiskers. In a distant shot of Smith's son Jaden running down a riverbed, I was struck by how many small rocks were defined clearly from such a distance. Yet other shots that included computer-generated cityscapes or otherworldly creatures looked less sharp. I was sitting in the seventh row -- close enough to tell the difference. If you sit at the back of a theater, you might not be able to tell the difference between 4K and HD.
Sony has 15,000 4K projectors installed in theaters worldwide, with more than 11,000 in the U.S. Other manufacturers such as Barco, Christie and NEC also make 4K projectors.
So far, major theater chains Regal and AMC are not charging extra for 4K screenings. AMC says nearly all of its 344 theaters have at least one 4K projector. Regal says more than 300 of its 579 theaters have a 4K projector. You'll have to check with your local theater to see if the movie will be projected in 4K.
The push toward higher resolution follows the industry's emphasis on HD in recent years. Many TV sets tout the "1080p" resolution standard, so named because its images are 1,080 pixels high and 1,920 pixels wide. A slightly wider version with 2,048 pixels across is known as 2K. But 4K is 4,096 pixels wide and 2,160 pixels high. That gives 4K images 8.8 million pixels compared with roughly 2 million for high definition.
Higher-definition movies are a key component in Sony's strategy to maximize the benefits of both owning the Sony Pictures movie studio and making electronic gadgets.
Sony Electronics makes 4K motion picture cameras -- such as the F65 used to shoot "After Earth" -- as well as 4K movie theater projectors, 4K TVs, home media servers that play 4K movies and other technologies needed to get ultra-HD video from one end to the other. The camera-making division has even had talks with Sony Music Entertainment about shooting concerts in 4K.
"It touches an awful lot of the ecosystem," says Rob Willox, director of large sensor technology for Sony Electronics.
So far, 56 movies have been converted to 4K, the majority distributed by Sony. Those include ones originally shot on film, including last year's Oscar-nominated "Django Unchained." Sony's other end-to-end 4K releases planned for this year are "The Smurfs 2," due out in July, and "No Good Deed," set for release in October.
After Red Digital Cinema began selling a 4K camera, the Red One, in 2007, companies including Sony and Canon Inc. also began making them. Thousands of movies have been shot in 4K, but almost all of them have been shrunk down to HD format before being screened. One exception was Sony's 2011 remake of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," which was shot in 4K with a Red camera and also shown in theaters that way. Having "After Earth" and two others on the release schedule this year marks another milestone for the format.
"There is a new movement now where movies are actually being shot at high resolution and finished at high resolution," says Ted Schilowitz, a co-founder of Red. "We see huge advantages to deliver four times as many pixels on the screen as HD."

Dog adoption
I have adopted three dogs that were older and received many years of companionship from them. They were already house-trained and wonderfully trainable.
