Column: Learning to live with the 'new' BCS
The new BCS will be a lot easier to live with if all you remember is this: It's bound to be better than what we have.
Sure, plenty of college football fans will still be nursing a grudge because there's not a playoff by now, let alone until January 2015, when the four-team postseason makes its long-delayed debut. So if it's any consolation, once that version rolls out, you won't have to look long or hard for exactly who to blame.
By late Wednesday afternoon, the wraps will be off the worst-kept secret in college football for the past month or so. The guys in charge of the Bowl Championship Series will release the names of the 13 members who will sit on its selection committee and decide - just like the NCAA college basketball committee it's modeled after - which teams get into the postseason and where they're seeded.
The name that's been generating most of the heat thus far is former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who's currently a professor of political economy at Stanford's Graduate School of Business and never played a down in her life.
"All she knows about football is what somebody told her. Or what she read in a book or what she saw on television. To understand football," former Auburn coach Pat Dye huffed recently, speaking for the many of the game's old guard, "you've got to play with your hand in the dirt."
"I've got the greatest respect for her," echoed former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden. "But really, what does she know about football?"
But that wasn't his only complaint.
"I guess they feel like the basketball panel is the idea to copy, but I kind of liked it the way it was," added Bowden. And why not? He won national titles in 1993 and 1999 under the old system. "I just hope somebody took into account that it's a lot easier to get right when you get to pick 64 teams for a playoff, instead of just four."
Frankly, you'd be surprised by how many things the people at BCS headquarters took into account before venturing even this far. They quit being stubborn, acknowledging that most fans dismissed the computer rankings and data-driven selection process as just so much pseudo-science, and agreed to ditch both. Most important, they did their homework. A look back at the past 10 years showed only one or two seasons when there were more than four legitimate contenders for the national titles.
Even so, somebody is going to have to get up in front of a microphone on occasion and defend the committee's handiwork.
"It's sort of like politics," said former Oklahoma coach and three-time national champion Barry Switzer. "You'll get criticized no matter what you come up with."
And that might have been the one thing the BCS considered most of all. In addition to Rice, who knows her way around a conflict, the panel includes retired Lt. Gen. Michael Gould, who played at Air Force Academy before serving as its superintendent. It also includes popular former Mississippi and New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning, a few Hall of Famers, one former sports writer and a combined 200-plus years of experience either playing, coaching, covering or working as an administrator in the college game.

The stories of 2 brothers suspected in bombing
BOSTON Tamerlan Tsarnaev practiced martial arts and boxing, even aspiring to fight on the U.S. Olympic team. Dzhozkar Tsarnaev had been on the wrestling team at a prestigious high school and won a scholarship from the city to pursue higher education. Neighbors recalled the ethnic Chechen brothers, living on a quiet street in Cambridge, Mass., riding bikes and skateboards.
Two brothers, one dead, one alive and at large. After hours of only grainy images of two men in baseball caps to go on, a portrait gradually emerged Friday of the men suspected in the Boston Marathon bombing.
The brothers, who came from a Russian region near Chechnya, lived together on Norfolk Street in Cambridge. They had been in the country for about a decade, according to an uncle, Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md.
Less was immediately known about Tamerlan, believed to be 26 when he was killed overnight in a shootout. He was the stockier one identified in video released to the public, wearing a black baseball cap and khaki pants. He was involved in martial arts, and competed in boxing matches. According to a crime website he was once arrested for domestic assault on a girlfriend.
"I don't have a single American friend. I don't understand them." he was quoted as saying in a photo package that appeared in a Boston University student magazine in 2010.
He identified himself as a Muslim and said he did not drink or smoke: "God said no alcohol." He said he hoped to fight for the U.S. Olympic team and become a naturalized American. He said he was studying at Bunker Hill Community College to become an engineer.
Dzhokhar, 19, attended the prestigious Cambridge Rindge and Latin school, participating on the wrestling team. In May 2011, his senior year, he was awarded a $2,500 scholarship from the city to pursue higher education, according to a news release at the time. That scholarship was celebrated with a reception at city hall.
He attended the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, Mass., university officials said Friday.
The school would not say what he was studying. The father of the suspects, Anzor Tsaraev, told the AP his younger son was "a second-year medical student," though he graduated high school in 2011.
"My son is a true angel ...," he said by telephone from the Russian city of Makhachkala. "He is such an intelligent boy. We expected him to come on holidays here."
Dzhokhar's page on the Russian social networking site Vkontakte says that before moving to the United States, he attended School No. 1 in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim republic in Russia's North Caucasus that has become an epicenter of the Islamic insurgency that spilled over from Chechnya. On the site, he describes himself as speaking Chechen as well as English and Russian. His world view is described as "Islam" and he says his personal goal is "career and money."
Tim Kelleher, a wrestling coach for a Boston school that competed in 2010 against Dzhokhar's team, said the young man was a good wrestler, and that he'd never heard him express any political opinions.

Wow…I don't know what else to say. It really seems like Coach Kelly has that "it" factor. I really hope that he can bring another championship back to Notre Dame. Maybe not this year, but hopefully in the next couple of years. I just turned 31. I was 8 the last time the most storied college football program won a national championship. Believe it or not, I remember that game quite well. And I thought afterward that the Irish would be at or near the top every year. Well…they're due.

I was a senior in high school, just 10 miles from campus, when ND played that game against Miami. I remember seeing a lot of STOP signs near campus that someone wrote "Miami" under the word "stop". I also had the opportunity to speak with Steve
Terrell (#15, broke-up the pass to end the game) a few years ago and ask him about that game. What a great game he and the rest of the Irish had that day.

Latest Fringillidae Stories
The Wildlife Society's annual conference is from Nov. 5 to 10 on Waikoloa (the Big Island), Hawaii.
PAAUILO, Hawaii, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Legacy Hardwoods (HLH) has developed a fundraiser initiative to help schools and organizations raise money while improving the planet and benefitting Hawaii's unique ecosystem.
Wildlife experts praised the Obama administration for its "holistic approach†to conversation in Hawaii, after it named 48 species to be added to the endangered species list on Wednesday, boosting the number of endangered Hawaiian species from 2 to 50.
In the late 1920s, people intentionally introduced birds known as Japanese white-eyes into Hawaiian agricultural lands and gardens for purposes of bug control.
U.S. Forest Service scientists with the Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry have completed a study on ways to make high-value koa trees grow faster, while increasing biodiversity, carbon sequestration, scenic beauty, and recreation opportunities in native Hawaiian forests.
Yellowed grasses cover the lower southern slopes of Mauna Kea where impenetrable koa forests once stood on the Big Island. But Hawaii's largest endemic tree, with its sickle-shaped leaves, has reclaimed some of its former territory over the last two decades.
One of Earth's rarest birds might have gone into extinction following the death of one of the last known po'ouli. The aging male po'ouli died in captivity Friday, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Tuesday.

India Slams North Korea Rocket Test, Then Launches Its Own
Military Terms Nuke-Capable Launch a Success
The Indian government has issued a statement condemning North Korea for a successful long-range rocket test, which put a satellite into orbit. Officials termed it "unwarranted" and a threat to regional stability.
At roughly the same time, India launched their own long-range missile test, firing a nuclear-capable surface to surface Agni-1 ballistic missile off the Odisha coast.
Officials gave no indication as to why the firing was timed so closely to the statement, or indeed any indication that they understood exactly how hypocritical the launch makes them look on the matter.
North Korea withdrew from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty in 2003 and though it has done some nominally successful detonations is not believed to have warheads capable of loading onto their missiles. India, on the other hand, has never been a member of the NPT at all, and has a significant nuclear arsenal. So far the international community has not commented on India's missile test at all, and appears to busy railing at North Korea.

From the US or Israel, or even France, let alone the UK, this would have come as no surprise, but India!
It is true that India is fascist country; in a sense, it is still being ruled by the Brits.

First, the vent should be 1" hose according to Peggie Hall, the doyenne of marine heads. It should be terminated in a standard through-hull. It should be as short and straight as possible, to maximize ventilation of the holding tank.
If the tank is well aerated, then the stinky anaerobic bacteria will be reduced and there will be little odor.
I would ask where the head in the boat is. If the head is forward in the boat, it is a really bad idea to put the holding tank aft. The longer the distance between the tank and head, the more hose that will be sitting full of waste, unless you use a lot of water to pump the hose clear, and the more likely the hose will permeate. Also, the more waste that will leak into the boat if you have to disconnect the hose at any time.
Keeping head waste hoses as short as possible is generally a good idea.

Pablo's sporting a hot looking chin strap and loves to suck on Angel's thick uncut Latin cock. He has no trouble going all the way to the base of Angel's thick shaft. In between deep throating Angel's cock he is also pouring cold water over the shaft of his cock as some sort of torture and pleasure ritual. Pablo is also a master ass muncher as can be witnessed when he gives Angel a nice ass eating and tongue fucking. Angel returns the favors as he shows Pablo his cock sucking abilities as well. Later Pablo gets Angel up on his knees in the office chair and fucks his tight Latin hole bareback. To switch things up Pablo now lays back in the chair and opens his legs allowing Angel to fuck his tight hole bareback.

March 18 marks the 40th anniversary of one of the most momentous events in postal history — the postal strike of 1970. The night before, postal workers in New York voted 1,555 to 1,055 to go out on strike in protest of a House committee vote to limit their wage increase that year to 5.4 percent on the heels of a 41 percent increase in Congress's own pay. The wildcat strike and picketing were effective in shutting down postal operations in New York and quickly spread to about 30 other cities. Within days about 152,000 workers in 671 locations were on strike. It was illegal for federal workers to strike, or even to advocate a strike, but union officials said they had no control over the action. The strike shut down New York's financial industry, kept 9,000 youths from receiving draft notices, delayed the mailing of census forms and tax refunds, and generally disrupted the country's communications. Injunctions and heavy fines were levied on union leaders; but the membership paid no attention. President Nixon called out 24,000 military personnel to distribute the mail, but they were ineffective. While the president asserted there would be no negotiations until the workers returned to work, Secretary of Labor William Usery did engage in negotiations that brought the strike to an end after 2 weeks. By all accounts, the strike was extremely successful for the unions, and it set the course of postal affairs for decades to come. No postal worker was ever disciplined for the walkout. Negotiators agreed to a 6 percent wage increase retroactive to 1969, and an additional 8 percent contingent on enactment of the Postal Reorganization Act. The bill had been languishing in Congress, but by April 16, 1970, agreement was reached. It not only provided the 8 percent pay raise, but also allowed postal workers to reach the top of the pay scale in only 8 years — in contrast to the 21 years previously in effect. After the first contract, pay for the newest worker had surpassed what a 21-year veteran had made 3 years earlier. Although the agreement directed the large increase towards high-cost areas like New York, where the strike began, it was effective across the nation, even in low-cost areas where compensation had been ample. The practice of uniform wages continues today at the Postal Service; even though the federal pay system introduced locality pay in 1990. The binding arbitration feature of the Act could also be traced to the strike. According to a union history, binding arbitration was included in the bill "in lieu of the right to strike," though of course no federal employee has ever had such a right. This feature of the law has meant that the Postal Service has never been able to exert control over its labor costs. Unions also insisted that the Postal Service would not be called a government corporation, to guard against any implication that workers would lose the security of their federal jobs. The strike also set in motion lasting changes in the postal labor movement. Union heads that had tried to control the strike, and were willing to compromise with government leadership, lost credibility. A city carrier, Vincent Sombrotto, was in the forefront of rank and file members in New York insisting on the strike. After the strike, he led a movement to open up union elections and eventually headed the National Association of Letter Carriers for 24 years. Coincidentally with the formation of the Postal Service, five distinct unions of postal clerks, mail processors, maintenance, and motor vehicle workers merged into a new American Postal Workers Union, which provided a more unified voice for labor in political and collective bargaining negotiations.

On March 2, Postmaster General John E. Potter presented a 10-year "action plan" to meet the challenges faced by the Postal Service as it encounters declining mail volumes combined with increasing overhead costs. The plan comes as a product of a yearlong study by the Postal Service and a number of leading consultants to identify and analyze over 50 different actions that could help counter the changing marketplace. The Postmaster General warned that if the Postal Service continues to operate as it is, it will run a cumulative debt of $238 billion over the next 10 years. Even if the Postal Service institutes every conceivable control within management control – product and service actions, productivity improvements, workforce flexibility improvements and purchasing savings – it can only shrink the debt to $115 billion.
In order for the Postal Service to continue its primary mission of affordable and reliable delivery, it will need the kind of flexibility that only legislative changes can provide. The Postmaster General outlined key areas:
- 1.Retiree Health Benefits Prefunding – The Postal Service currently would shift from prepaying its fund to paying premiums as they are billed, as other government agencies and private companies operate. 2.Delivery Frequency – The Postal Service would consider 5-day delivery and other adjustments that would allow it to operate more efficiently. 3.Expand Access – The retail network would be examined in order to close unproductive outlets and expand the postal presence in other retail channels, including online. 4. Workforce – In order to have greater workforce flexibility, the Postal Service would need to shift workers and better utilize part-time employees in the workforce. 5.Pricing – The prices for postal products need to reflect demand and market-dominant products should be limited by a single price cap. 6.Expand Postal Products and Services – Given the evolving needs coming from technological and consumer change, the Postal Service is looking to streamline the process involved with rolling out new products and services. 7.Oversight – The current oversight model has encumbered the Postal Service with a number of agencies and commission as with authority as well as Congress. The roles and processes of oversight need to be clarified to allow for efficient operations.
What do you think? Are the actions mentioned above enough for the Postal Service to remain viable in the future? Would you suggest further steps? This topic is hosted by the OIG's Risk Analysis Research Center (RARC).

By Robert CohenShould the Postal Service pursue a last mile strategy? A strategy that emphasizes delivery and deemphasizes the retail, processing, and transportation functions which are outsourced explicitly or through pricing incentives. In some ways, the Postal Service is already pursuing a last mile strategy. Historically, the Postal Service has generally set worksharing discounts based on cost avoided. In other words, the discount is set at the amount of money the Postal Service saves if it doesn't do the activity itself. If a presorter can sort the mail more efficiently than the Postal Service, it will choose to do so. This is good for society as a whole because it provides the lowest overall cost for end-to-end mail service. It also means that the Postal Service receives the same profit per piece whether it is workshared or not. The profit from the 80 percent of the mail that is workshared comes from delivery. A last mile strategy would mean that the Postal Service should extend worksharing to provide discounts for dropshipping bulk First-Class Mail. This would benefit many bulk First-Class mailers because the printing of their mail could be distributed around the country eliminating mail processing and transportation costs and delays. It would provide a greater incentive for First-Class mailers to use the delivery system, and research has shown that new worksharing discounts are highly stimulative to new volume. (See "The Effects of Worksharing and Other Events on U.S. Postal Volumes and Revenues" by Edward S. Pearsall available at www.prc.gov.) The introduction of dropship discounts in Standard Mail was associated with a large expansion of Standard Mail volume. The strategy would also imply that the Postal Service should move towards 100 percent passthrough for all its worksharing discounts and thereby reduce upstream costs to the mailers. Again, this would maximize the incentive to use the delivery network. In some cases discounts are not set at 100 percent of avoided cost because these discounts are not defined well and and they lead to anomalous results (e.g. Standard mail dropship discounts). The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 may have given the Postal Service the opportunity to adjust worksharing discounts so that they are less than avoided cost. Setting discounts that are smaller than avoided cost adds a small additional amounts of institutional cost contribution relative to the large amount included in the implicit price for delivery. It is, however, inconsistent with a last mile strategy because it increases upstream prices. Looking at the Postal Service more broadly, the strategy would encourage contracting out upstream activities that can be done at a lower cost than in-house. It may be that savings and service improvements could be generated by contracting out significant portions of the ground transportation network in a way similar to the FedEx air transportation contract. There are presorters in almost every large city that would be prepared to sort single piece and bulk letter mail. This would be most attractive in cities where the Postal Service's processing productivity is comparatively low. Retail also deserves attention because much of this function could be contracted out. Selling some retail facilities and then contracting for retail services from the new owners could allow the full utilization of their commercial potential. Worksharing began as presorting in the 1970s and was a significant move in the direction of a last mile strategy because it allowed the bypass of some upstream activities. Over the years worksharing has been further developed so that it now encompasses almost all upstream activities. The result has made mail service in the United States a collaboration between the Postal Service, mailers, and third party providers. A rate structure was created around worksharing that put virtually all the institutional cost contribution of workshared mail in the implicit charge for the delivery function and the one thing the Postal Service reserves to itself is the delivery of mail to the mailbox.

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — Pennsylvania is getting some good state budget news.
The Revenue Department reported Friday that April revenues exceeded projections by $201 million, or about 5 percent. That pushes the surplus for the first nine months of the fiscal year to $569 million.
It's also about 7 percent more than tax collections a year ago.
Most major tax lines are outstripping estimates for the month and for the year. The biggest gain was a one-time bump in non-tax revenues in April resulting mainly from a change in unclaimed property rules. Corporate income-tax revenues are down for the month, but nearly 4 percent above estimates for the year.
Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf is seeking to increase taxes to boost school funding, reduce property taxes and close a projected budget gap.

Waves of people flood county fair's opening day
"I thought it was cool," he said. "It has a lot of history."
Standing near the toilet history exhibit, Amy Saviage said she had just smelled some of the grease from the food vendors outside the exhibit hall, and she was also looking forward to trying some of the many foods available at the fair.
Although Peter Clarke, 70, of Escondido, said he regularly comes to the fair -- usually on its first day each year -- Saturday was the first time he had tried a fried Twinkie.
"It certainly gives a lot more emphasis to an ordinary Twinkie," he said.
Scores of rides appeared to be favorites among fairgoers Saturday, eliciting smiles and squeals from younger children at Kiddieland in the infield area. Older children enjoyed twists and spins high above the ground on such rides as the Windsurf and the spinning and turning Hard Rock, both in the Fun Zone, but the rides there were not crowded about midafternoon Saturday.
A fair spokeswoman said a count of how many people attended the fair's opening day would not be available until today.

Deloitte welcomes Division 7A changes as making economic sense for businessDOWNLOAD
27 March 2014: The recently released discussion paper about the Review of Division 7A which outlines a policy framework directed at achieving efficiency, simplicity and equity, has been welcomed by professional services firm Deloitte.
The recommended reforms to Division 7A are about maximising simplicity by reducing the compliance cost burden on business.
Keith Hardy, Deloitte Private Lead Tax Partner noted that the Board's stated aim to assist private businesses, without sacrificing the progressivity of the personal tax system, was achieved.
"A balance has been met by ensuring the use of company profits attracts tax at the user's or recipient's progressive personal income tax rate and through the removal of impediments for the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector to reinvest business income as working capital," said Mr Hardy. "Also no advantage is given to accumulating passive investments over the reinvestment of business profits in active business activities."
The Discussion Paper outlines five key principles that the Board recommends.
If accepted, the recommended changes should simplify some of the more difficult and or controversial areas currently embodied in Division 7A.
Essentially, the Board of Taxation's recommendations are aimed at striking the right balance between shareholders using business profits to fund lifestyle or other passive investments without paying any top up tax, and enabling business operators to reinvest profits that are capped at the corporate rate of tax back into their business.
"The Board intends that business operators in the SME sector are to be the main beneficiaries of the Board's recommendations," added Mr Hardy.
The Discussion Paper outlines five key principles that the Board recommends.
"From a SME perspective, the option for trading trusts to carve out UPE's from Division 7A is unquestionably the flagship of the Board's recommendations. The most pressing issue now will be how the transitional provisions will cater for existing UPEs that are effectively locked into seven or ten year safe harbour sub-trust arrangements which are currently prescribed by the ATO," observed Mr Hardy.
"We might see some transitional measures operating for the next 25 years simply because people are already locked into the secured loan arrangements. So a simplified Division 7A won't happen overnight.
"The devil will be in the detail and we need to wait and see if these simple and sensible frameworks are implemented, as the benefits for private businesses will be profound," concluded Mr Hardy.

I am out of ideas and need some please.
I am trying to push changes form my local computer to the remote server where the project is used.
I am sort of using this guide: http://ryanflorence.com/deploying-websites-with-a-tiny-git-hook/
I add the remote on my local machine like so
$git remote add stage ssh://email@example.com/var/www/domain.com/public_html
This /var/www/domain.com/public_html is the path the the repo
Then when I do
$git push stage stage
all seems to work but the changes do not seem to appear on the website.
So checking the remote (stage) #git status I can see
$ On branch stage
$ Changes to be committed:
$ (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
$ modified: sites/all/modules/custom/bf/bf.forms.inc
So doing a #git reset --hard on remote (stage) brings in the changes.
I then add a post-receive hook to automate this process My post-receive file contains
cd ..
umask 002 && git reset --hard
But now when I do $git push stage stage i get this result
Counting objects: 24, done. Delta compression using up to 2 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (16/16), done. Writing objects: 100% (16/16), 1.56 KiB, done.

[remote rejected] stage -> stage (branch is currently checked out) error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://firstname.lastname@example.com/var/www/domain.com/public_html'
How do I rectify this? I mean based on the message this is not a recommend workflow is there a better way?

Wednesday July 18, 2012
By CHRISTOPHER TAN firstname.lastname@example.com Photos by MUSTAFA AHMAD
LITTLE did Penang Umno chief Datuk Zainal Abidin Osman know that his interest in motorcycles would lead him to his new wife, actress Siti Nur Syafiqa Amirol Melvin, whose father owned a Vespa that caught his eye.
Zainal Abidin, 52, first got to know former flight engineer Amirol Melvin Abdullah, 67, through a bikers' club event, and was subsequently smitten by the latter's Italian scooter.
It was only after the two men became closer that Zainal Abidin's interest turned from the bike to the beauty.
"I was also watching the reality TV show Gadis Melayu and Siti Nur Syafiqa caught my attention. I fell for her on TV," said Zainal Abidin.
Siti Nur Syafiqa, 23, was the winner of Gadis Melayu Season Two in 2009, and recently graduated from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia with a bachelor's degree in Microbiology.
She is the eldest of five siblings.
Zainal Abidin said he got to learn more about Siti Nur Syafiqa from her father.
"Both Siti and I were busy with our schedules, and we could only communicate via Facebook. That strengthened our relationship," he said after his wedding ceremony at Dewan Merdeka in Jalan Dewan, Parit Buntar, Perak on Saturday.
Amirol Melvin said he was very happy that Siti Nur Syafiqa found the right man.
"I hope and pray that they live happily ever after," he said.
Datuk Ishak Osman, 65, who is Zainal Abidin's eldest brother, said their family was glad that he had found someone to love after his wife Datin Shazarina Shamsuddin died of cancer at 46 two years ago.
Zainal Abidin's second son Nabil Ashmawi, 20, said he was happy for his father.
"She completes the family and I hope that they can live happily forever," he said.
Zainal Abidin has three other
children — Nadhir Ashafiq, 24 years old, Najlaa Aina, 13, and Nafiz Ashrani, seven.
More than 6,000 people turned up for the wedding.
Among them were former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop, Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon.
Also present were Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir, Gerakan vice-president Datuk Dr Teng Hock Nan and Penang Barisan Nasional chief Teng Chang Yeow.

By Vitali Shaposhnikov: The title alone will most likely make almost every viewer click to see whats inside. The reader will again hope for something new, but expect the same old. What news could I or anyone else possibly bring to the table at this point in time about either of the fighters? The answer is none. Still, writers re-write, and readers re-read.
Floyd Mayweather Jr (41-0-0): An unbeaten boxer with amazing speed and defensive maneuvering.
Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2): A Filipino sensation and the hope of the Philippines. Also a professional boxer and an 8 division world champion, being possibly the greatest boxer to come about in many years.
Yes, every living and breathing boxing fan along with a ton of average sports fans want to see them fight. The country of the Philippines will be on their feet as a whole if their match-up ever comes to fruition. PPV numbers will break records, and the event will bring unparallel energy to the arena. But why are we so damn obsessed with this fight anyway? I will tell you why: it is not because we anticipate an exciting fight, as its very unlikely to be one. We want to see this fight, because we want to witness one of these men lose. We want an upset, and in their proposed fight, there is no ending without an upset. Either fighter losing is a tremendous happening in the entire sports world.
But really, what else can it be?
Mayweather Jr., besides having the skill set and an explosive arrogant personality, has not done anything exciting in the ring for a very long time. Yes it was exciting to watch him beat a suboptimal Arturo Gatti in 2005, square-off against Zab Judah in 2006, and break financial records with Oscar De La Hoya in 2007, but unfortunately, thats about as exciting as Mayweather Jr. gets. Since then, his fights have been against fighters that are at some disadvantage in comparison to him.
Since I am on the topic of disadvantages and time wasteful fights, Manny Pacquiao is in the very same boat as Floyd Mayweather Jr. in that department. Beginning with a weight drained terrible looking Oscar in 2008, and ending with Mosley earlier this year, Pacquiao has faced no threat in the ring. Hatton, Clottey, Margarito, and even Cotto, despite being bigger fighters, posed absolutely no risk to Pacquiao. Slow, and some weight drained, they were simply not competitive in the ring, as was clearly evident not only to boxing enthusiasts, but anyone watching the fights. Why is the other man not hitting back at all, asked my mother who has never in her life watched boxing, when I was re-watching the Clottey fight? I had an answer for her: because he is not capable of doing that against the other guy. She replied with: So then why did he fight him? He will only get hurt? I told her that it was a very good question, to which the answer had to be, a great paycheck.
I cant even estimate how many dozens of articles I have recently seen all over the internet talking about how Mayweather Jr. will beat Pacquiao, or vice versa. The hundreds of pieces about why either one of them will win this utopia of a fight. Writers write about their strategies, predictions, their estimates and hypotheses about why this fight will or will not happen. All this without a contract in sight.

After taking the nation by storm with his unbridled passion in Ramleela, Bollywood's 'crazy dude' Ranveer Singh has added another feather to his cap by signing up for endorsing a condom brand.
Yes, you heard us right.
In what can be termed as a pathbreaking step, the actor has become the first leading man from Bollywood to have signed up for a deal to endorse a condom brand.
While actresses like Pooja Bedi and Sunny Leone have shown more guts to have endorsed the product, the men have shied away from it, until now.
The actor feels that ensuring safe sex is also a social cause and that there is no harm is endorsing the product.
A leading tabloid quoted a source as saying, "Ranveer always prefers to tread a different path. He knows how to exude confidence and attitude. A combination of all these factors, plus his growing popularity, made him a suitable choice for the brand. The actor loves attention and knows how to get it - be it through his mannerisms or his comments. The brand feels that his cool dude image will be an asset to their campaign."
Well, with this move, we can guarantee that the Ramleela actor will grab more eyeballs than he did for his bare-bodied act in the film.
While Ranveer has the project safely tucked away in his kitty, the hunt for the female model is on for the ad that is scheduled to be shot on March 30 and 31.
One hears that the brand had approached actors like Emraan Hashmi and Arjun Rampal, before they found Ranveer.
Interestingly, during one of the episodes of Koffee With Karan 3, Deepika had suggested her ex-flame Ranbir to endorse a condom brand.
While Kapoor junior didn't take up the challenge, Deepika's current beau Ranveer has risen to the ocassion. Anything for love, we say.

Legal Correspondent
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday directed a sessions court in Godhra, Gujarat, to hear the bail pleas of 85 accused persons in the Godhra train carnage-related cases afresh and dispose of the applications expeditiously.
A three-judge Bench of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, Justices R.V. Raveendran and Dalveer Bhandari asked the POTA court in Sabarmati, Ahmedabad, to transfer the cases to the sessions court within a month.
The Bench said only matters relating to offences under the IPC would be heard, without any reference to the POTA charges.
The Gujarat government invoked provisions of POTA against the accused and the cases were pending in the POTA Court. A POTA Review Committee held that no prima facie case was made out for invoking the POTA charges. The Supreme Court, in its October 21 judgment, held that the recommendations of the review committee were binding on the government and the POTA charges, therefore, could not be invoked.
In its brief order, the Bench said the POTA Court should transfer the cases to the sessions court, which should proceed with these cases as if it had taken cognisance of the offences. It should hear the bail applications and decide on merit, untrammelled by observations, if any, made by the High Court or the apex court in earlier proceedings.

He mows the lawn,
doesn't every man?
He mops the kitchen,
a gift of great value.
He shells pecans,
saves the pith for me.
He roasts peanuts;
we love peanuts!
He plants blackberries,
brings them in a bucket.
He builds bird houses,
cooks his own suet cakes.
He picks wildflowers,
shows me where they grow.
He makes up our bed,
most every day.
He bakes banana bread,
serves it warm, with coffee.
You will notice, I sometimes
wear a Cheshire grin.
You can wrap it, but with
Only a bow, nothing more.
You can see it from a far,
As it's lights shine bright.
You can't hold it in your hands,
But surely it will guide you.
Follow this light, your gift,
To you, my heart and soul.
This house, a gift for you,
Filled always with much joy.
Rough waters you'll have no
More, Serenity waits at
The way to go out:
Shot by a jealous husband
At ninety years old!
Lying here and listening to you breath
once again rings the clock alarm
You'll have to go if I awake you but
I know the day is only 8 hours long.
To the kitchen I go and put the coffee on
as so many mornings before and off to work
I know you'll go and deep in my heart with
you is where I know I'll always belong.
As I hear the water in the shower start to run
I know a new day for both of us has begun
I will reflect onto the day all the things I want
to do, just to show you how much I appreciate
and love you when the long day is through.
I will greet you at the door and your face is always
so dirty and you will say hello honey, mmm
something smells good and my aren't you pretty.
A smile as always will come across my face and
now it is our time to put our evening into place.
This very day, 27 years ago a little boy met a girl and thought nothing of it.
Two innocent minds, two pure souls with no crooked intentions.
We shan't lie to the world that it was love a t first sight
For we didn't know the difference between wrong and right.
For we didn't know what love is or what pain is.
We chose to be friends, yes we became best friends.
With the passing of time, moments, laughs tears we shared and Gods plans,
With the synchronizing of two heart beats that longed to beat as one.
Two souls that fed each other, two minds and two bodies that were destined for all eternity
This we could not fight, for it was destiny, for it was God's plan.
This love was beyond my control my love.
27 years have gone by and I am still in love with you as if it were our first day.
My love is still pure and innocent just as the minds and souls of that little boy and girl.
Loving you is still not a choice, loving you is not a decision I have to make day after day.
Loving you is food to my soul, loving you is what defines me, loving you is my daily bread.
You make me whole; you make me significant, for you make me one with you.
All these years have passed and all I see changing is time and not my love for you.
Loving you my dear is beyond my control.
Without you near me I am deaf, I am blind and I cannot feel.
For my eyes see only you
For my ears only hear your sweet voice.
For my hands feel only the smoothness of your skin.
When you are away I cannot smell nor can I taste anything.
For the only scent I know is yours.
For the only lips I know are yours.
You are my connection to the outside world
For I see through your eyes and know the sour sweet taste of air with your tongue.
For I hear the sound of the wind blowing with your ears and smell through your nostrils.
For I feel through your palms and your skin.
You are me and I you. For we are one
This love I feel for you is beyond my control
You are my one and only
You are my past, my future and my present.
You are my life; you are my heaven, my gift from above.
Every day I pray to the Lord to thank him for I have you, for I have it all.
I am yours always, I am yours for eternity, I am yours even in the after life
I love you. Wish us an eternity together.
This love is beyond my control my love.
His kindness envelops me in pleasure
I feel inspired, satisfied, euphoric
Wonderful inklings are my measure
Embracing me in all that is domestic
He breathes compassion across my heart
I feel revived, encouraged, edified
Brilliant ideas have me feeling smart
Into his attentive ears I will confide
His gentleness melts my bitter judgments
I feel affectionate, intuitive, enlightened
My spontaneous senses grow in patience
Tranquility within has been awakened
With him, I feel like me
Together, we are free
©2014 by Regina Riddle
Pondering through the pages of time
folded and saved in the book of my mind.
Glancing at and seeing true all the things
we have been together through.
Stronger now than we ever were before
streaming life into us without ever having
to close a door. So much love we have
shared, for ever love and forever care.
Each time I turn a page, I see you and all
I needed in good times and in times of hurt
that deeply felt like a rumbling rage.
You brought stillness to me, so that through
the darkness I could so fearlessly see and
never leaving a broken page.

I like what KTM is doing right now. There was an interview article I read recently (CN?) that featured Jon-Erik Burleson who is the Pres of KTM USA. I got the impression that racing would continue to be a focus. He seemed pretty passionate about the whole concept, and pointed out that they produce many derivative products to suit particular nitches in their market, while traditional OEM's might only produce an enduro bike and a motocrosser. One look at the KTM enduro line up and its pretty obvious how they differentiate themselves and command a premium to boot.
KTM has had a good long run in Rallye Raid. They have always been solid in enduro type race bikes and finally after decades of failure they have a premium motocross effort. I would think MX/SX is where they need to invest now that they've got some talent running their programs. Maybe this Moto 3 thing can be even bigger, since it is pretty obvious that their Moto 3 factory bike is already the class of the paddock.
There will be 3 MotoGP rounds next season in North America. How many Raids?

After pointed comments about lack of cooperation on public transit and affordable housing, a Milwaukee Common Council committee delayed action Wednesday on renewing a 10-year, $1.3 million-a-year deal to sell water to Menomonee Falls.
By contrast, a study of selling water to Elm Grove easily sailed through the same panel after Village President Neil Palmer voiced enthusiastic support for regional cooperation and said he wished a light rail line could connect his community to downtown Milwaukee.
The debate before the council's Public Works Committee was the latest example of Milwaukee aldermen trying to use water as a tool to pull the suburbs into talks on other regional issues. Similar questions were raised last year, when the city agreed to start negotiations on boosting water sales to New Berlin.
Suburban officials see access to clean water as a key factor in their communities' development. Urban leaders generally want to see more compact development and believe suburbs should share Milwaukee's social costs if they benefit from their proximity to the city.
"When we talk about regional cooperation in this community, it's very much a one-sided approach," Ald. Michael Murphy complained.
Menomonee Falls benefits from Milwaukee water, but municipal governments and businesses in Menomonee Falls and Butler refused to help Waukesha County pay for a Milwaukee County Transit System bus route that carried some 70 Milwaukee residents each day to Waukesha County jobs, said Murphy and Ald. Bob Bauman. Some of those Milwaukeeans likely lost their jobs when Route 9 shut down a few weeks ago, Murphy said.
Those low-income workers also couldn't move closer to their jobs, because the suburbs have little affordable housing, noted Murphy and Ald. Willie Wade.
"Having decent, family-supporting jobs does more to fight crime than having armies of police," Murphy said.
Under state Public Service Commission rules, the city can't just cut off water service to Menomonee Falls, city Water Works Superintendent Carrie Lewis said. Instead, the debate turned on a proposed contract amendment that would give the village more control over groundwater sales to its neighbors.
Jeff Nettesheim, Menomonee Falls utility director, said the village wanted to serve isolated subdivisions just across its borders. Lewis said the contract terms would prevent the village from using city water to replace groundwater it was selling to others.
But Bauman and Wade said the city shouldn't give up the veto power it now wields over Menomonee Falls groundwater sales.
After the meeting, Nettesheim said he would have to confer with village officials about how to respond.
Barrett backs deal
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett understands aldermen's frustration over Route 9, but still wants the water deal extended, said Patrick Curley, Barrett's chief of staff. Curley said anger about Route 9 should be directed at Waukesha County officials and Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker.
The original 1997 water sale to Menomonee Falls was tied to Milwaukee's annexation several years earlier of village land where the Ambrosia Chocolate Co. stood, and to the village contributing money to rebuild several major northwest side streets, Curley said.
Unlike Menomonee Falls, Elm Grove is a fully developed community. Palmer said he was seeking city water not for residential development, but to ensure a stable supply for fire protection in downtown Elm Grove.
The council had voted in 2006 to let Wauwatosa sell Milwaukee water to Elm Grove. But talks between the two suburbs broke down, leading Elm Grove to seek to buy water directly from Milwaukee, Palmer said.
Palmer said he agreed with Murphy's comments about transit and would support light rail to his community "in a heartbeat," adding, "the way this region operates in terms of regional transit is absolute lunacy."
If the full council agrees, engineers would study the feasibility of running water lines to Elm Grove. If the study results are favorable, Lewis said, she will ask aldermen to authorize talks on water sales to the village.
Unlike in New Berlin, the talks with Menomonee Falls and Elm Grove are not complicated by the Great Lakes Compact, a pending eight-state agreement that would regulate lake water sales. Both Menomonee Falls and Elm Grove are within the Lake Michigan watershed.

I just read a great article!
Nicholas Carr says,
"The choices we make, or fail to make, about which tasks we hand off to machines shape our lives and the place we make for ourselves in the world."
"Automation does not simply supplant human activity but rather changes it, often in ways unintended and unanticipated by the designers of automation."
He is so right! I've always thought that usable technology will help people have better lives. No, it will help people have different lives! Not necessarily better.
"Knowing demands doing!"
You have to get your mind dirty to learn stuff.

Speedo... on a live aboard sailboat you can have just about anything you want. If you are plugged in at a dock while living aboard...there is really no limit as to what you can have since it is just like home and whatever DC powered stuff you have (like cabin lights) will be powered from your batteries which will in turn be charged by a built in charger running off A/C dock power.
In Texas...you will also probably need an air conditioner for living aboard and this is definitely a dock powered device.
If you are living aboard at anchor on the boat...you must have sufficient batteries to run the stuff you really need AND a way to charge those batteries back up as they run down. There are EXTENSIVE threads here on sizing battery banks and recharging and solar and wind power so you can slog through those and ask questions as you have more time.
Have fun!

One of the things I've always disliked about wrestling games is that they didn't feel like the humorously melodramatic soap opera they are on TV. Without the interesting fighting or compelling, operatic tales, I certainly didn't feel like a wrestler. WWE DAY OF RECKONING 2 changes that somewhat with an extended story mode. You've climbed up through the ranks to become a top dog, but the doggone title is stolen. You try to retrieve it with the support of your galpal, who happens to be skinny looker Stacy "How Does She Wrestle in Heels?" Keibler. With some of the best graphics seen on the GameCube, some decent (though not perfect) A.I., and a fighting system that makes you care, this is an essential title for the wrestling fan, and for the curious (even if you're not really going to get Stacy Keiblernot even if you're that drooling dog Neil Strauss feigning in Style mode.)
187 Ride or Die
Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: Ubisoft
There's street cred and then there's street cred. 50 Cent arguably had more cred with Get Rich Or Die Tryin' than with The Massacresimply because he got rich and didn't have to die tryin'. But then there's the desperate try for cred. 187 RIDE OR DIE is an urban racing game with a lot of shooting of AK-47's. For bling, the makers added some story elements by Straight Outta Brooklyn director Matty Rich. The story? Regain turf captured by a rival gang. The game's mainly just racing and shooting, like the makers were on some sort of OCD kick and couldn't do anything else but race and shoot, race and shoot.
Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Capcom
Then, there's BEAT DOWN: FISTS OF VENGEANCE with these too-pretty characters who've been framed by the local mob. They seek redemption via vengeance. Here, the story's intense and varied, but there's a problem with everything from camera angles to the repetitive fighting and the interrogations, which become banal and stupid. It should have been called "Beat Down: Fists of the Dense."
Publisher: Nokia
Developer: Bugbear Entertainment
Finally, there's GLIMMERATI for the N-Gage phone, a racing game full of beautiful, rich people. Remember the triple-digit millionaires I mentioned? You're one of them. In Glimmerati, there's no more money to be gained to increase your snivelling power over people and things. It's just racing in super-pimped vehicles for pride (its own kind of power). Because the game is almost old school, I like it. When the words "Your Engine Has Been Tampered With" appear on the screen, I'm pissed off and want to win races. It's kind of like Racing With the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. The Finnish-makers only mistake: Where's that Lizzie Grubman and her crazy SUV?

Glee actress Dianna Agron is one of those rare breeds of women who can walk around without any makeup on and still look great. While many women around the world have to spend time everyday putting on their makeup, Dianna does not have to worry about it.
Dianna Agron always manages to look absolutely stunning when she is on TV in Glee, or on the big screen in a movie or ever at red carpet events. However, this is because she would have a makeup artist and stylist on hand to make her look so fantastic.
Yet Dianna has been spotted on a number of occasions without any makeup on and she still looks beautiful. Agron's makeup free beauty will split women around the world, as some will praise her for such natural beauty while others will be jealous and envious of the young star.
There were rumours earlier this year that Dianna Agron would not be returning for the new season of Glee, after she was left out of a promotional picture. However, Dianna will be returning to Glee and has already been seen on the set for filming of the new season.
Glee season four is set to return with the fifth episode of the current run on November 8.
