I picked this game back up due to a few reviews I read on here and was let down by Aion in it's current state.vI played from 1-30 on a new character and my impressions are below.
1-10 - semi interesting, learn about the game a little bit and test out your character. Flying and stuff is cool.
11-15 - GRIND. This is where the boring grind starts. I don't find the quests in this game to be entertaining, it's basically run to point X, run back and turn in quest. A lot of the time I wouldn't even be paying attention to what was happening, and just having my character run back and forth.
16-24 - I was about to give up at level 15 but the game is actually fun here. You get to do the first dungeon, get some double XP from the event NPC, and level up quickly using new skills. At level 20 you also get to have a house which is a plus. This was the pickup I was looking for in the game and was hoping it would continue.
25-30 This is where the game dies again, you're stuck the grind again. Worst part about it is that they have dungeons and "PVP" during these levels but they are worthless to you because it's hard/impossible to find ppl for lower level dungeons and no one does PVP around lvl 25-46. I can't really understand why they don't have "solo" modes for the instanced dungeons.
To conclude, if you came to this game for PVP, you're out of luck until lvl 46. If you came to this game for PVE get ready for grind spots and having to run the same quest over and over again to get out of it as fast as possible. (everyone runs the bronze coin quests).
Another major issue I had was that for some apparent reason they bounce you back and forth between the server your character is on, and a server for 2x XP. The main problem with this is that in PVP zones you get taken off the the 2x XP zone and put into your solo server, aka it's empty.
I'm not saying the game is horrible, and it has a lot of interesting features like flying, having pets and having your own home, but you would be better off paying for something like ESO where crafting actually matters, the quests are more involved, and you actually see people in the PVP zone.

I will agree Aion has some grind but compared to how it was at release it is nothing.
Plus, I wouldn't even try to pvp until you hit 55 or 60 as most pvpers are at max level with best gear so it is almost impossible to be even the least bit effective at 10+ levels below them.
It does have some interesting features but the game has been out now for over 4 years, the economy is trashed and as a new player, unless you buy gold then getting anything from the auction house is almost out of the realm of being possible. Plus if you wish to get a house that isn't the very small free one they give you it is rediculous. Last time I played, about 2 mths ago, the small houses, which the game starts auctions out at around I think 45-50 million, ended up selling for over 500 million which is still almost 4 times more expensive then the opening price for mansions.
Anyway, if you don't care about the houses and just play the game for the pve it can be fun, but each day there is less and less to do.

Early game grind has pretty much been eliminated. It shouldn't take more than 4-5 hours to hit level 30 right now. They've increased the primary campaign quest rewards and solo dungeon exp gain so much that you barely need to run anything now to level up.
The problem is they didn't really boost the blue quests that much, so people who are new to the game will probably stick to doing blue quests instead of just doing the story campaigns. That will still take a while, although still significantly shorter than launch.
If you focus mainly on the campaigns and instance dungeons, it shouldn't take more than 10 hours to hit level 50. That's when things start slowing down as the campaigns alone are no longer enough to level. 55 is probably where the real grind starts, since most experienced vets start 2 manning a specific instance and repeat until level 63, as it is by far the fastest way to level).

There's still a decent population on Siel, but most of the players are in the 60+ zones. Even in the fast track server where all 4 servers can PvE together it's hard to find groups for lower level content, especially since almost everything is solo-able now.

for new players i can understand your review. but if you talk to any veteran player the game does not start until max level. thats when it is most interesting and you start to progress your character. many different type of arenas, to owpvp in many different zones, or plentiful dungeons & raids to grind
any person leveling in a korean mmo will say the same, espcially old ones like this, if you get through that, the game is really fun

Just how wrong can Joe Biden be?
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military for the Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The estimable Rajiv Chandrasekaran points out that VP Biden recently said on MSNBC's Morning Joe, on Tues. Dec. 15, about the American approach in Afghanistan that, "This is not a COIN strategy."
This is going to be a surprise to General McChrystal, who thinks it is.
What a hot tranny mess! The fact of the matter is that, pretty much as usual, Biden doesn't know what he is talking about. He has some vague notion of counterinsurgency as a massive, nation-wide effort. But word on the street is that he has been dozing during the briefings: In fact, McChrystal and his boss, the once-prominent Gen. David Petraeus, have explicitly said that the revamped approach is focused on only about 40 percent of Afghanistan, and that even within that area, outlying areas won't be handled in a troop-intensive, classic counterinsurgency manner, but rather with focused counter-terror raids.
Request to NSC: Will someone over there have the VP and his posse get a brief on counterinsurgency from the Special Operators on the Joint Staff before he shoots off his mouth again? I mean, do him a favor.
Long-term benefit: I have long been struck at how consistently good Joe Biden and John Kerry have been as counterindicators of what their party, and their nation, should do. Age doesn't always bring wisdom — sometimes it just brings seniority.

APSCUF Negotiations Statement -- 5/14/2015
The Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) and State System negotiators met today, Thursday, May 14, 2015 at the Dixon University Center in Harrisburg. The two sides discussed retrenchment and a specific provision of the Affordable Care Act. The two sides will continue negotiations on June 12, 2015 at the APSCUF office in Harrisburg.
Thank you to all of you who took action yesterday on Senate Bill 1 by contacting your senators. After APSCUF issued the alert, Senate leadership contacted us with word that there is a single line in the 400-page bill that does allow for the continuation of alternative retirement plans (ARPs), e.g., TIAA-CREF. We appreciate Senator Corman's office clarifying the appropriate provisions, and we apologize for our misunderstanding. Given the quick movement of this bill, we used the best sources and the best reading of the provision that we could given the short time frame and seriousness of the issue. If you communicated about the ARPs to your senator, you may wish to note our corrected understanding of these provisions.
With the exception of the information about the ARPs, all other information in yesterday's alert are correct. That is:
- Those enrolled in SERS or PSERS would be required to move to the new plan with the new contribution rate. Further, only your highest 5 years (it is currently 3) would be used to calculate your pension;
- Liability for past employees would have to be covered by the State System instead of the pension system. Presumably, that money would be paid from the Education & General budget, which would put additional programs and positions at risk.
In addition to these facts, it also appears that members enrolled in SERS or PSERS will have a choice: either pay more for your existing benefits, or pay the same amount with a reduction in benefits. Please continue to contact your senators to let them know that this change to SERS and PSERS is not acceptable. The fact that we were approached demonstrates that your senators listen when you write. The bill is expected to be voted on as early as tomorrow.
Dr. Brendan Finucane, APSCUF member and Shippensburg University economics professor, submits testimony to Senate Labor and Industry Committee
Earlier today, Dr. Brendan Finucane, APSCUF member and economics professor at Shippensburg University, submitted testimony to the Senate Labor & Industry Committee for a public hearing about raising the minimum wage. His testimony follows below. To download Dr. Finucane's testimony with footnotes, please click here.
Written Testimony Submitted to the Senate Labor and Industry Committee
Public Hearing to Consider the Impacts of Raising the Minimum Wage
Dr. Brendan P. Finucane, Professor of Economics, Shippensburg University
May 2015
I would like to thank the Senate Committee on Labor and Industry for the opportunity to provide written testimony on the positive impacts raising the minimum wage will have on individuals and the Commonwealth. As a Professor of Economics at Shippensburg University, I commend the leadership of Senator Tartaglione on this important social and economic issue, as well as that of Representative Kim in the House. Their respective bills, Senate Bill 195 and House Bill 250, will help Pennsylvania move toward sound economic policies by supporting working families and individuals, and increasing the long-term economic vibrancy of the Commonwealth.
The purchasing power of the lower and middle class has been on the decline for decades. Since 1938 when the Fair Labor Standards Act established the minimum wage, nominal wage increases have occurred sporadically rather than at a steady and predictable pace. Not indexed to inflation, research compiled both nationally and state-wide demonstrates that minimum wage increases have failed to keep up with consumer prices. In fact, in 2015 minimum wage earners have less than 60% of the purchasing power that they had in 1968 . Among the most encouraging elements of House Bill 250 and Senate Bill 195, is the provision to incorporate an annual cost of living increase into minimum wage legislation. This will create purchasing power stability among low wage earners and will break a 50 year trend of wage devaluation.
Across the nation, many full-time minimum wage workers have been unable to rise above the federal poverty line ; this is no different for minimum-wage earners in Pennsylvania. Poorly remunerated work results in a smaller tax base to help fund state services and simultaneously increases the demand for state and federally-funded social programs required to help low-income individuals to meet their basic needs. Increasing the minimum wage will increase the tax base and help more residents to become financially independent and reduce expenditure on social programs.
Minimum wage earners should be seen a crucial part of creating sustainable economic growth within the Commonwealth. As immediate spenders, putting money in the pockets of low-wage earners will stimulate local markets by increasing the demand for goods and services. Consumer spending has long been a determinant in forecasting job growth rates; as such, raising the wage holds promising opportunities for job creation.
In Pennsylvania, we are fortunate to be in a position to evaluate the experiences of other states who have already raised their minimum wage above the federally mandated minimum of $7.25. Contrary to long held assumptions that wage increases cause employers to relocate, job creation has been shown to increase in states where wages have gone up. Economic history also provides ample examples of the importance of workers as consumers of the same services and goods that their labor produces. If they are to consume such products, they must be able to afford them. It was this very logic that propelled Henry Ford's company to the forefront of the American auto industry.
Beyond the economic arguments in support of raising the minimum wage, the current debate is also personal, particularly for those of us living in rural areas and those who care about accessible higher education. Although the total number of individuals impacted by a wage increase will be highest in urban counties, the proportional impact of raising the minimum wage will affect a larger share of the workforce in rural communities . This will directly affect the students and families of students that we teach in Pennsylvania's public university system. At Shippensburg University, over 32% of our students come from rural counties; when looking at university attendance of all schools in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) that figure rises to nearly 35% of our student body . It is PASSHE's mission to provide affordable higher education opportunities in the Commonwealth. Raising the minimum wage is an important part to ensuring that our working students can continue to afford tuition and other enrollment costs. To the extent that workers who benefit will be adults, an increase in the minimum wage will help support the families of students in the PASSHE system.
Ultimately education is the major determinant for individuals seeking to move up the economic ladder. House Bill 250 and Senate Bill 195 provide crucial provisions to better the quality of life for minimum wage earners; improved educational opportunities that will become affordable as a result will help propel individuals into better paid industries.
I encourage the Senate Committee on Labor and Industry to support House Bill 250 and Senate Bill 195, and any other efforts to raise the minimum wage to at least $10.10 per hour, indexed to inflation. These bills represent an important stepping stone moving toward a living wage for all people employed in the Commonwealth. Thank you for your consideration.
APSCUF Coach Executive Leader, Keith White, issues statement regarding the non-renewal of coach contracts at California University
Last week, California University of Pennsylvania (Cal U) issued a statement announcing that six assistant coach contracts would not be renewed. Keith White, Coach Executive Leader for APSCUF, is issuing the following response:
"I am distressed and disappointed with President Jones's and the California University leadership's decision to non-renew six assistant coaches. While I am fully aware of the limits of financial resources on all State System schools, it is still quite a shock to have the heart of an athletic program hit so hard and with such little discussion or warning.
"Assistant coaches play an integral part in the lives of our student athletes and the athletic department. They are mentors, recruiters, fundraisers, and they steer the students to degree completion. For those students who participate in women's soccer, men's soccer, baseball, football, softball, and volleyball programs, this is not simply a 'workforce adjustment.' It changes their lives.
"It is hard to see how, exactly, this is a wise decision on the long-term health of the university, and it is difficult to see why this decision could be done so rashly and without university-wide discussion.
"Student recruitment and retention should must be a top priority at Cal U. Removing six talented individuals who make such an impact in the lives of Cal U students is shortsighted and alarming. We all need to take a hard look at how the university prioritizes its expenditures to make sure that they maximize our students' learning experiences."
APSCUF President, Dr. Kenneth M. Mash, issues statement regarding the State System performance audit
Yesterday, the Auditor General released findings related to the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) in a performance audit. Dr. Kenneth M. Mash, APSCUF President, is issuing the following response:
"During yesterday's press conference, Auditor General DePasquale began by stating that the Commonwealth contributes only 28% of the cost for a student to attend a public university in Pennsylvania. The Commonwealth currently funds the state system at the same level it did in 1997-98.
"The Auditor General is absolutely correct that the State System needs the Governor and the General Assembly to allocate additional funds to stem the tide of rising tuition and overwhelming student debt. Governor Wolf's budget is a step in the right direction. His two-year plan to fully restore funding to the State System correctly prioritizes public higher education and works to secure the future of Pennsylvania's working families.
"In 2011, Governor Corbett cut the State System budget by 18 percent or $90 million dollars. Since then, with no additional funding, the State System has eliminated 270 full-time faculty positions and discontinued over 150 academic programs. Because the budget could not be balanced on cuts alone, the Board of Governors raised tuition in an effort to survive the drastic cut.
"A recent economic impact study concluded that for every $1 spent on the State System, $11 returns to the Commonwealth. Over 90 percent of our students are residents of the Commonwealth, and 80 percent of our graduates remain in Pennsylvania and contribute to its economy. All Pennsylvanians benefit when we properly invest in our state-owned universities.
"Our professors and coaches hope that the General Assembly will work with Governor Wolf to ensure a strong path to full restoration so that our current and future students will have access to high-quality public higher education at an affordable cost."
Read Dr. Kenneth M. Mash's Remarks to the Board of Governors
Good morning, Chairman Pichini, Chancellor Brogan, Governors, University Presidents, and guests. My name is Kenneth Mash, and I am the President of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties. APSCUF represents the approximately 6,000 faculty and coaches employed at our 14 great public universities.
I want to emphasize the word "public" again. The universities that comprise this System are public universities. It has gotten harder and harder to remember that. As Secretary Hanger pointed out yesterday, over the course of the last two administrations our universities have struggled with declining resources.
When this system was founded, the Commonwealth paid for 2/3 of the cost of student's education. Today students foot 75% of the cost. After attending our public institutions, the average student graduates with $30,000 in debt. That number would have been unthinkable to the bipartisan forces that founded this system.
Of course, over the last 4 years the financial state of the majority of our universities has gotten progressively worse. Under the previous administration we had an 18% cut followed by three years of no increases.
Even as 42 states increased funding for public higher education, ours did not. Pennsylvania now ranks 49th in funding for public higher education.
Since the 2011 cut, resident undergraduate tuition has jumped 17% or over $1,000 per year and average fees have increased by 18%. This Board has approved several tuition pilot programs that could increase tuition for students 25%. How much would that be a threat to the very notion of public higher education?
Just last year, similar to patterns from the years before, the State System faced a $58 million deficit due to years of cuts. Approximately $30 million was filled with another 3% tuition increase. A $28 million hole was left unfilled by this Board.
The remaining deficit was closed by continued cuts on campus. These cuts have already placed 77 programs in moratorium including key programs, like music. It also led to major reductions in faculty and major reductions to staff.
Last year, in the face of the $28 million gap, the Board sent the university presidents on their way thanking them in advance for the hard decisions they were forced to make. There was little if any discussion about the implications of those cuts. There was no talk of needing to raise tuition further to bridge the gap.
After the previous governor announced in 2012 that he wouldn't cut the budget further, our then Chancellor stood at a press conference with the Governor, and thanked him for that. Instructions were given by the administration to keep tuition capped at the rate of inflation.
The Board complied, and there were no public recriminations. There was no great debate about the needs of the students and the universities. There certainly was no great concern voiced about how the Board could possibly meet any salary "demands" my association might make at the negotiations table.
Last week, April 3rd marked the first night of Passover. It is tradition at the Seder – the Passover dinner ritual – for the youngest in the room to as the 4 questions – which I recited many times. The first of those questions is "Why is this night different from all other nights?"
I am certainly no longer the youngest in the room. But after the watching the committee meetings yesterday, as the sun set, I was and I am still motivated to ask, why was yesterday afternoon so different from other afternoons over the last 4 years.
The only difference I can see is that we now have a governor who genuinely wants to restore public higher education. Over two years, he has proposed fully restoring the $90 million cut. He wants no tuition increases because he foresees the Commonwealth working to meet its obligation to public higher education. It would make for a tough year, but it also makes it a lot less tough than the preceding four years.
Thank you Governor Wolf for that, and thank you Secretary Hanger for delivering that message. Thank you Representative Hannah for making the motion to try to bring that about.
I do not know what action the Board will take today or what will be discussed, but after yesterday I am still wondering, why was last night different from all other nights?

You are the second poster to ask about this. I had never heard of it before.
Equifax manages the National Consumer Telecom & Utilities Exchange (NCTUE) and this is apparently where the score comes from. From what I read they are a CRA and fall under the FCRA like any other and you can get a copy of your CR from them.

COLLEGE STATION - The Texas A&M football team had a pair of practices on Thursday as the Aggies continued preparations for the Sept. 4 season-opening matchup with SMU at Kyle Field.
The afternoon workout inside the McFerrin Indoor Center featured the Aggies working on situational football -- red zone, end of the game scenarios and third-downs, which led to head coach Mike Sherman heaping praise on quarterback Ryan Tannehill. The fifth-year senior from Big Spring, Texas was named to the Manning Award watch list earlier this week, and was already mentioned on preseason lists for the Davey O'Brien Award and the Maxwell Award.
"I thought Ryan Tannehill was right on the money," Sherman said. "He's been on the money for most of camp, but I think the last three days have been the best three days he's had as a quarterback since I've been here. He practices so hard and so fast, and he's a great example to everybody else. I'm very excited about the progress he's made."
Tannehill was one of 12 Aggies that received mention on watch lists for various prestigious national awards, but Sherman says the 2011 Aggies aren't likely to get distracted by the preseason hype.
"We had a conversation about that," Sherman said. "They know how I am. We talked about staying in the moment. All that stuff can be a distraction if you let it, if you breathe it in. I don't think we breathe that stuff in. We're a very matter-of-fact, work-hard-every day-type of team."
In the course of the post-practice press conference, Sherman related some of the dual-training that the Aggies are experimenting with: backup quarterback Jameill Showers got a look at slot wide receiver (termed the "Tannehill plan" by the head coach), cornerback Dustin Harris at wide receiver, linebacker Steven Jenkins at fullback, and safety Howard Matthews at running back.
"I think you create great chemistry on your team if you're able to have guys cross over lines a little bit," Sherman said. "We worked Dustin a little bit at receiver and he did a nice job. We worked Jenkins at fullback, and we worked Howard Matthews at running back. I think it makes us have more depth."
Outside linebackers coach Nick Toth gave the assembled media an overview of his trio of freshman outside 'backers – Brandon Alexander from Brenham, Texas, Tyrell Taylor Houston, Texas and Shaun Ward from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
"All those guys have been doing a great job," Toth said. "Alexander has come along in the last four days, his learning curve has come along in a hurry. Tyrell Taylor in the last four days has been unbelievable. He comes off that edge real, real hard against the one's, the two's, whoever. Both those guys, and Shaun Ward, have been impressive."
Toth was asked specifically about pass-rushing ability of the 6-foot-4, 205-pound Taylor.
"His short-area quickness, his burst, is unbelievable," Toth said. "I hate to compare him, and you guys are going to kill me, but his burst is comparable to Von (Miller). He gets up the field like Von did on his first three steps. He's not Von Miller, let's not put that on him, but his burst up the field is like that."
Senior defensive end Tony Jerod-Eddie was held out of practice, and he watched from the sidelines with his right foot in a boot.
"Any time one of your starters, one of your leaders, is out, it's a concern," Sherman said. "His foot is sore and he's a 300-pound man running around sideways to sideways. It puts a stress on it, so it's always a concern to me."

Computer Simulation Unravels Quasicrystal Mystery
The method to the madness of quasicrystals has been a mystery to scientists. Quasicrystals are solids whose atoms aren't arranged in a repeating pattern, as they are in ordinary crystals. Yet they form intricate patterns that are technologically useful.
A computer simulation performed by University of Michigan scientists has given new insights into how this unique class of solids forms. Quasicrystals incorporate clusters of atoms as they are, without rearranging them as regular crystals do, said Sharon Glotzer, a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering.
Crystals form when liquids freeze into solids. When a normal crystal grows, a crystallite nucleus develops first. The atoms in the liquid attach one-by-one to the crystallite, as though following a template. If the atoms have already formed a cluster on their own, they must rearrange in order to fit the template. This is how a repeating pattern forms.
In the case of quasicrystals, though, atoms that have already formed stable shapes away from the crystallite can still bind to it. They don't have to make adjustments.
"In our simulations of quasicrystals, we observed that the atoms attach to the crystallite in large groups," said chemical engineering doctoral student Aaron Keys. "These groups have already formed locally stable arrangements, and the growing quasicrystal assimilates them with minimal rearrangement."
Because quasicrystals aren't as regimented as regular crystals, the solid can reach a "structural compromise," where liquid-like molecular arrangements are retained in the solid state. This allows quasicrystals to form more easily than regular crystals.
Quasicrystals are found in certain metal alloys that tend to resist wear and corrosion, and are used in non-stick coatings, for example. They also have high tensile strength, meaning high forces are required to stretch them to their breaking point.
"Learning how they grow will help us figure out to how engineer quasicrystalline structures from new building blocks, which could lead to a slew of new materials," Glotzer said.
Glotzer and Keys are authors of a paper on the research, "How do quasicrystals grow"," published in Physical Review Letters. Their paper is featured in an article in the current edition of the journal Nature.
Glotzer is also a professor in the departments of Materials Science and Engineering, Macromolecular Science and Engineering, and Physics.

That Trailer was incredibly intense, really made my toes tingle. The voice narration and music are fantastic. I hope the story does justice to the previous MP installments. I never pre-order new releases, but this time I made an exception, though I'll have to wait a bit longer for my PC version.
Words just can't describe how great that trailer was.

Can't wait to play this game!
Max rules.
Max Payne is an easy choice for me, and I can't wait.

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher confirmed reports that he will be out two to four weeks and possibly out for the rest of the regular season. The eight-time Pro Bowl player, who is in the final year of his contract, may have played his last game as a member of the Bears. Urlacher, 35, admitted to the possibility, telling FOX Chicago: "I do not think that's going to happen. But, if it does, I have had a really good and long career so I would be sad, but I would not be crushed." Urlacher has played his entire 13 NFL seasons with Chicago. He isn't giving up on a possibility to play again for the Windy City, saying he is "100 percent" going to play in Chicago's potential playoff game. The Bears will likely move Nick Roach to strong side middle linebacker and Geno Hayes to strong side linebacker. The Bears also added depth to the position by signing linebacker Dom DeCicco to a two-year deal Tuesday.

PH telcos expected to make it big in 2013
popular .
The country's phone firms are seen posting higher profits in 2013 despite slowing revenue growth as spending for expansion slows down due to the completion of large scale upgrades.
Debt watcher Fitch Ratings in a report said margin pressures would continue to hound Asia Pacific telecommunications firms, but profit margins would remain at healthy levels.
"Demand growth is likely to match or outpace the decline in margins and growth in investment and credit metrics will generally be stable or slightly improved," said Steve Durose, head of Fitch's Telecommunications, Media and Technology team in Asia-Pacific.
"In the cases where credit metrics will decline, Fitch expects few rating downgrades as these operators generally have significant headroom at their current rating level," Durose said.
In the Philippines, he said price competition would remain despite the duopoly enjoyed by Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) and Globe Telecom.
"Volume growth is likely to be insufficient to offset margin decline, and therefore Fitch expects the telcos' cash flow from operations to be weaker," Durose said.
"However, leverage will improve as free-cash flow is likely to turn positive due to lower capital expenditures, with the completion of major network investments in 2012," Fitch said.
PLDT, led by the Manuel V. Pangilinan group, completed in the second quarter of 2012 its two-year, P67 billion network modernization program that involved the expansion of its fiber-optic backbone and introduction of new technologies such as LTE (long-term evolution).
PLDT is so far the only company offering LTE-grade mobile services, which are significantly faster and more reliable than existing third-generation or 3G technologies, to mobile subscribers.
For its part, Globe Telecom expects to complete at least 80 percent of its own $790-million network modernization program. The company aims to replace its entire "legacy" network with brand new "future proof" infrastructure.
PLDT is the dominant player in the local telecom sector with a 68-percent share of the cellular phone market, 64 percent of broadband Internet and 65 percent of fixed-line business.

The verbal skirmish between WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm and mandatory challenger Sebastian Sylvester came to a head on Monday in advance of their grudge match on Saturday's huge "Universum Champions Night" event at the König Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen. The psychological warfare continued during the third and final press conference at the Coca-Cola Oasis in the Oberhausener CentrO as once again the fighters refused to pose together for photographers or even shake hands..
This highly anticipated fight will headline the Universum Champions Night on November 1 at the König-Pilsener-ARENA in Oberhausen. Universum world champion Felix Sturm said: After six weeks of endurance training in Cologne and four weeks of technique training and sparring in Hamburg with my trainer Michael Timm, I can hardly wait to get in the ring to implement everything that we have trained to do. Sebastian Sylvester commented: Everything is great with me. I have nothing to lose and look forward to the world championship fight. I believe in myself. He cannot run away for twelve rounds - sometime he'll have to make a stand. Previously the world champion and his mandatory challenger had exchanged some biting commentary (for example, Sturm saying that Sylvester has neither the intellect or level to beat him).
The bout has ignited the interest of German fight fight fans as this will be the first world championship fight between two German boxers in over eight years (the last being in April 2000 when Dariusz Michalczewski stopped Graciano Rocchigiani). Of the 8,000 tickets originally available, only about 500 remain.
Felix Sturm, who finished off his sparring phase in Hamburg last week, received an additional praise by his coach Michael Timm: "During the preparations, everything was better than expected. Felix lives for the sport, and always wants to become better and fine tunes his technique meticulously again and again. He is in an extremely good state of fitness - better than ever before." Sylvester-Trainer Hartmut Schröder: We are delighted to become world champions on November 1! We want to win and will do everything we've been studying to fight against Felix, er Adnan.
WBO world champ Sergej Dzinziruk defends his belt against Joel Julio of Columbia
Unbeaten Universum junior middleweight world champ Sergej Dzinziruk will feature in a second tantalizing world title fight, when he defends his title against KO artist Joel Julio (34-1, 31 KOs). WBO #2 rated Julio is seen as a tough challenge. The WBO-Latino-Champion lives and trains in the USA and has an incredible record for this weight division with 31 ko wins in 35 bouts. Sergej´s Trainer Michael Timm: The record speaks for itself. This is a very difficult task, but Sergei is very highly focused.
Other notables in action will be include the unbeaten spotlight boxing fighter Marcos Rene Maidana (24-0-0 (23)). The Argentinean junior welterweight is the current WBA #1 and underlines his amazing skills with a fantastic record of 23 Knockouts wins in 24 fights.
Highly touted spotlight boxing heavyweight Vladimir Tereshkin (8-0-1 (5)), now trained by Michael Timm, who will be making his tenth professional start. Rounding out the card are light heavyweight Patrick Dobroschi (7-0-0 (2)), heavyweight Christian Hammer who will have his pro debut and super featherweight prospect Jesus Marcelo Andres Cuellar (3-0-0 (3)).
The fight Sturm vs. Sylvester will be shown LIVE on ZDF from 10.00 pm.

Dunne set for acid test with world rated Garcia
World rated Eduardo Bambino Garcia has promised to derail Bernard Dunnes world title ambitions when they clash on the Hunky Dorys Fight Night at the Breaffy House Resort, Castlebar on November 15th. The Mexican dangerman looks set to provide Dunne with an acid test of his world title credentials when they clash in County Mayo and Garcia is in no doubt about the outcome.
The 28-year-old said, I have heard about Dunne and watched some of his fights on the internet. He is a good fighter but I believe I am simply better and I think he will be a great stepping stone for me to a world title. I want to join the list of great Mexican world champions and I know a win over Dunne should get me a world title fight.
I was surprised to get the call for this fight because I have proved again and again in my career that I can travel to a fighters backyard and spoil the party. In fact in my last 3 fights I have upset the local fighter and I plan to do the same again this time."
Certainly Garcia is not afraid to travel, two years ago he lost out on points in a bid for the WBA super flyweight title in Japan but he is unbeaten since then including impressive wins on the road in Canada and Russia.
Reflecting on his gallant but unsuccessful bid for Nobuo Nashiros WBA title in Japan in 2006 Garcia said, I think that chance came too soon for me and my inexperience showed. I hurt the champion badly in the tenth but I ran out of time to finish him and the judges decision did not go my way. I was also struggling with the weight and am a lot more comfortable at super bantamweight. Im 28 now and I think Im at my peak and ready for any of the world champions out there."
The Naucalpan natives last outing in Canada saw him fight a controversial 10 round draw with local favourite Oliver Lontchi for the North American super bantamweight title. "I know I beat Lontchi, said Garcia. Even his own fans knew that I won the fight but the judges still scored it a draw but I believe everything happen for a reason and the bad decisions I have had in my career have only made me stronger and more determined to become world champion.
Certainly the draw with Lontchi did not harm Garcias impressive world ratings. Hes ranked number 7 by the WBC and 15 with the IBF and he believes a win over Dunne will hand him a second world title opportunity.
Dunne is also a world rated fighter so after I beat him I hope that will be good enough to make me a mandatory challenger for the world title. I know I wont make any mistakes second time around.
Promoter Brian Peters admits that Dunnes encounter with Garcia is a high stakes gamble but hes confident that the Dubliner is ready for it.
Its obviously a risk but were hoping that it will prove a calculated one because it is effectively a world title eliminator. We wanted a world ranked fighter for Bernard and weve got one and this guys are real live wire. If Im honest he wouldnt have been the first choice on our list but guys like Oliver Lontchi, Bryan Vazquez, Gary Stark, Sergio Medina and Ceferino Labarda all turned down the fight.
This guy is the definition of a dangerman. Hes derailed quite a few fighters with world title ambitions so hes going to be a real acid test for Bernard. If Bernard can come through this then I think he hell have proved beyond doubt that hes ready for a World title fight.
An action packed supporting lineup is headed by local hero Henry The Western Warrior Coyle who faces Birminghams Delroy Sweet D Mitchell while another intriguing matchup will see Lurgan welterweight Stephen Haughian look to avenge last years controversial IBF Inter Continental title defeat to Italys Giamario Grassellini.
Also in action is Galway born welterweight prospect John ODonnell, as he looks to continue his impressive recent form. Tyrones Damian Taggart also features alongside Irish Canadian lightweight prospect Logan McGuinness while Brendan Ingles latest protégé, Steve Barnes makes his pro debut.

Birminghams Delroy Sweet D Mitchell is promising an uncomfortable homecoming for Henry Coyle when the two clash in a Light Middleweight 10 rounder at the Breaffy House Resort, Castlebar, Co. Mayo on the Hunky Dorys Fight Night on November 15th.
Coyle, the Western Warrior from Geesala in County Mayo relocated to Chicago last year to launch his pro career having been Irish Senior Champion as an amateur. He returns to his native county on November 15th for his first professional fight on Irish soil as the chief support to Bernard Dunne who takes on world rated Mexican Eduardo Garcia.
Mitchell though is hoping to make it a night to forget for Mayo fans and spoil the homecoming for Coyle by defeating the local hero. Both men have similar records with Coyle having won all but one of his nine professional outings while Mitchell has eight wins from ten outings.
Coyle should have the edge in power having maintained an incredible 100% knockout ratio so far by halting all eight of his victims inside the distance. Sweet D will be hoping his boxing ability can shine through against Coyle. The Birmingham man is trained by former World super middleweight champion Ritchie Woodhall and he also trains alongside current Irish middleweight champ Matthew Macklin.
Macklin says hes expecting fireworks on November 15th. I think it will be a great fight. Ive sparred them both and they are both excellent fighters. Henrys very, very strong and hell obviously have great support with the fight being so close to home for him but Dees got great boxing ability and he can mix it up too when he needs to. I cant really pick a winner but it should be a great scrap because theyre both exciting fighters.
Another intriguing matchup on the card sees Lurgan welterweight Stephen Haughian look to avenge last years controversial IBF Inter Continental title defeat to Italys Giamario Grassellini.
Also in action is Galway born welterweight prospect John ODonnell, as he looks to continue his impressive recent form. Tyrones Damian Taggart also features alongside Irish Canadian lightweight prospect Logan McGuinness while Brendan Ingles latest protégé, Steve Barnes makes his pro debut.

Last season, the Hastings girls hockey team finished with six wins. This year's team just concluded its season with a 16-8-3 record, a significant improvement from the 2008-09 season. But Hastings will be stuck thinking about the one that got away for much of the upcoming offseason. Saturday night in the section semifinals, Hastings lost to the Burnsville Blaze, 6-4. The game was 2-2 heading into the third period. "When you play a good team like Burnsville, you're not allowed to make many mistakes," Hastings coach Jeff Corkish said.
A broom provided Tim O'Brien's start in the automobile business. As a 12-year-old, he'd tag along with his father, Joe, to Midway Chevrolet on Saturdays to sweep the garage room floor.
Hastings had one of the best teams in the Suburban East Conference, Woodbury, on the ropes Thursday night. Late into the second period, Hastings held a 4-1 lead. But with just 34 seconds to play in the second period, Woodbury scored a big goal, giving them all kinds of momentum heading into the third period. The Royals then scored three unanswered goals in the third period and won, 5-4. Hastings coach Russ Welch was thrilled his team had taken the three-goal lead against the Royals.
Heading into a very challenging three-game stretch on the schedule, Hastings boys basketball coach Chad Feikema was optimistic. He wasn't necessarily thinking Hastings would beat Forest Lake, Stillwater or Cretin-Derham Hall, but he knew his team had a great chance to learn a lot against three very good teams. After a bumpy four-game losing streak, Hastings took on Woodbury here Tuesday night and won handily, 67-42. Hastings took a 32-15 halftime lead and didn't look back. Hastings had a very balanced attack, with senior Shane Monjeau leading the way for the Raiders.
The Hastings boys swimming team handily won another Suburban East Conference dual meet last week. The Raiders beat Roseville, 90.5-74.5. At one point, Hastings led 90.5-49.5 before swimming exhibition only in the final two events. Good swims were turned in by Hastings athletes all night long, including two lifetime bests by Tony Ring.
The Hastings girls hockey team begins play in the section tournament Wednesday night against South Washington County. Hastings is the No. 2 seed in Section 3AA. South Washington County (Woodbury and East Ridge) is the No. 7 seed. The game is at 7:15 p.m. at the Hastings Civic Arena. Should the Raiders win, they will play at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13 at Veterans Memorial Community Center in Inver Grove Heights against either Burnsville (the No. 3 seed) or Eastview (the No. 6). Eagan is the section's No. 1 seed.
Hastings jumped out to a quick lead and never looked back in a 89-73 win over Park last week. The Raiders actually led 89-35 late in the meet before swimming exhibition only in the final three events. Despite the lopsided win, there were a number of close races, which was exactly what Hastings coach Gerry Rupp was hoping for heading into the meet. "Our whole intent of the meet was to create some races," Rupp said. "I manipulated my personnel in order to do that.
The Hastings girls Alpine ski team came within a point of qualifying for the state meet next week. Hastings was edged out of the qualifying spot by Minnehaha Academy, which finished with 343 points. Hastings had 342. The girls will have three individual skiers at the event. Kelly Pechous, Gabriella Sorg and Lane Manke all qualified. On the boys side, Matt Hoffman qualified for the Raiders.
Hastings High School senior Wyatt Behrends was again the story for the Hastings Nordic ski team. On Tuesday at Valleywood Golf Course in Apple Valley, Behrends placed sixth in the Section 1 championships to earn another trip to the state meet. In the morning's Classic race, Behrends finished the 5K course in 18 minutes, 48 seconds, the sixth-fastest time of the morning. In the afternoon's 5K freestyle race, he finished in 16:48.86. His combined time was 35.36.9. Andy Dodds of Apple Valley won the section meet with a time of 34:01.2.
Readers of the Hastings Star Gazette didn't exactly take the news well last week that they'd soon be seeing a new tax/fee on their utility bills. The Hastings City Council passed an ordinance last week that assesses a fee to homeowners and businesses for storm water runoff. We heard from many readers, some of whom left comments on our website at www.hastingsstargazette.com . Here's what our readers were saying: Scott M.: Here we go again.

We are a married couple from New Jersey who enjoy travelling. After 20+ years of staying at Disney hotels, we found renting a vacation home, and now owning a vacation home, the best way to experience the best of 'both Worlds'.
Tuscan Hills Villa purchased this villa in 2011
Location! Location! Location! Close to DisneyWorld, yet just a small commute to all Central Florida attractions. Tuscan Hills is a quiet gated community that is tastefully designed with a quiet ambiance, manicured landscaping and easy accessibility to many highways. Many conveniences and restaurants nearby. And to top it off, our home was given the Flipkey Gold 2013 Top Vacation Rental award. See more info/reviews at Flipkey.com
Renting a home affords the traveller the opportunity to save money, expand the living experience, cook-in or BBQ, and enjoy a private swim during a mid-afternoon break or late at night. Plenty of activities within the home or clubhouse for non-park days. And Tuscan Hills... well its just the best, highly sought after for both rentals and home ownership!
5 stars for this home. Booking experience easy and owner very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. A lovely, clean and well equipped villa in an ideal location to explore all that the area has to offer. Very good local amenities close by. Villa perfect for our needs, just a little tricky to see the dial on the key safe without a light, when returning at night.
My family and myself had an amazing vacation. It was one of the best vacations I have been on in awhile. I would recommend any of my friends and family to stay there. It was close to all the parks, the house is beautiful and had plenty of space.
My family traveled to Florida for a few reasons, my husband had to work (someone has to make the $$), our sons received a Christmas present to Disney and my Grandma turned 92 years old! Lots to celebrate in the sunshine state! This house was absolutely PERFECT for us, we had 2 children ages 8 and 9 and a total of 6 adults. We had the perfect sleeping arrangements with the rooms, a pool to enjoy with heat, great meals planned, and location location location! My husband was less than a half of a mile to his work, Disney was very convenient, airport was about a half an hour away and my Grandma was about a half an hour as well. This was the absolute ideal location for us!
We loved the feeling of security as the neighborhood is gated, pool was clean, house was spotless, grocery store was very close and we loved being able to have all of us in one house with family meals! I prefer to stay in a house versus a hotel when we travel with more than our immediate four and we always have a blast! I highly recommend this home for you if you are traveling with your family or friends. We will absolutely be renting again!!!
One specific thing to note, the owner of this beautiful home was very easy to communicate with, was readily available for any questions and checked on us while we were there. That personal touch from her was very comforting and greatly appreciated!
I stayed here with my husband & two kids, plus my sister, her husband & two kids & our parents to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday. We had a great time & there was plenty of room for the 10 of us. We also enjoyed the pool & games in the garage. Kathy, the owner, was easy to get in touch with & sent us all the information we needed regarding the gate code, etc. well in advance of our trip. The pool guys were there almost every day to make sure the pool was warm enough for us & that the chemicals were balanced. The house was very clean & the kitchen has the basic pots, pans & serving pieces you need for simple meals. Getting to Disney, Sea World, LEGOLAND, etc. was very easy. We enjoyed our stay immensely.
I stayed at the house with my family for a trip to Disney World. The five bedrooms are very spacious. My daughter loved the princess room and my son loved the sports room. My infant son slept in a provided pack and play in his own room as well. Disney World trips are very busy, so it was great to come back to the house and not cram into a small space. My husband and I were able to relax in the family room while the kids were sleeping. Kathy the owner is very responsive. We left an entire bag of laundry in the laundry closet. She responded right away and arranged to have it sent back. The parks are ten to fifteen minutes away. We were happy with our choice.
I highly recommend staying here, especially if you have children or a large group. The home was beautiful and allowed the children to be free without the worry of bothering other guests. They had freedom to use the pool for as long as they wanted, and no one had to be the designated adult to supervise them, as the pool was right outside the living room. Overall you really get your money's worth. I highly recommend this home, I've even referred my friends. The owner is very nice and will try her best to accommodate you if something comes unexpected arises.
This was a great property to stay when visiting Disney - close enough to the parks, but a private spacious five bedroom home to settle down to each night. We also liked the gated community - very nice and quite! We are planning our next stay!!!!
Walt Disney World is approximately a 10-minute direct drive over Rt 192 from the property... Universal Studios and Wet n Wild a 30-minute drive, a 60-minute drive to Hard Rock Casino, Tampa; 80 minutes to Busch Gardens, Tampa Fl or Clearwater Beach. Kennedy Space Center is located 60 miles directly east on Rt 192. The new Legoland is 20 miles directly south on highway 27.
Want a break from the amusement parks? Lake Louisa State Park is about a 10-minute drive north on route 27. Horseback Riding , Canoe rentals, fishing, walking trails, biking. Google Lake Louisa State Park for more details.
Want outlet shopping? - Premium Outlets houses 2 large shopping complexes off route 4. About 30 minutes.
