And THIS is the reason Ladies and Gentleman is why we cannot compare Eras. Yes the competition was significantly lower back then with few participants and it was a lot easier! But thats not Laver's fault, its not Gonzales's fault! They played with what competition they had! its not like they got to choose, so their wins should count but at the same time they didnt have nearly the physicality and the work it takes to win the game today!! Since its become A LOT tougher! So thats why each era has to be respected and taken in its own sense. you cant compare because over a period of time things have changed. Will the Laver of 60's win a slam in today's game?? Ofcourse not!! But If he were a player of today he'd be putting hours into the gym and training like any other player today! So we should be thankful to guys like Laver and Gonzales and Tilden and lacoste who helped shape the game and inspire more people to come and play just like Federer and Nadal are doing today rather than comparing them because they played in two different worlds!!

The Milwaukee Brewers cleared two spots on their 40-man roster Friday, sending infielder Eric Farris and right-hander Cody Scarpetta outright to Class AAA Nashville.
The moves leave the Brewers with 38 players on the 40-man roster.
Farris, 26, played in 131 games at Nashville in 2012, batting .286 with seven home runs, 31 RBI and 35 stolen bases. He was called up by the Brewers on Aug. 31 and was 1 for 8 (.125) with a stolen base.
Scarpetta, 24, ranked the No. 7 prospect in the Brewers' system by Baseball America magazine at the start of the year, underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery in May and missed the entire season.

Think of this as two luxurious gifts in one. The skin-conditioning bath salts are rich with the bouquet of green florals, fleur d'oranger, and jasmine. They come in a classically styled hand-cut crystal urn that can be used as an elegant vase or even serving piece long after the bath salts have been enjoyed.

Golar makes move for Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Production Vessel HAMILTON, BERMUDA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/01/12 -- Golar LNG Ltd ("Golar" or "the Company") announced today that it has reached agreement for the development of the Company's first floating liquefied natural gas vessel (FLNGV). The agreement is with Keppel Shipyard Limited ("Keppel") and is based on the conversion of existing Moss LNG carriers of which Golar owns three potential candidates. Golar has already successfully converted three other Moss carriers into Floating Storage and Regasification Units ("FSRU's") of which Keppel has converted two. Use of the Company's existing Moss LNG vessels, proven topside liquefaction technology together with the appointment of Keppel to undertake the engineering and conversion enables Golar's FLNGV's to facilitate the efficient development of gas monetization opportunities when it comes to cost and schedule. The target gas supply for these units will be pipeline quality gas, lean associated reserves and, potentially, lean gas from otherwise stranded fields. The floating solution gives customers increased flexibility, quicker development times and the unique ability to develop reserves that are currently uneconomic. It further gives them an opportunity to capitalize on the large global gas spreads and the attractive economics associated with gas as an energy resource. The first FLNGV will have a capacity of up to 2 million tonnes per annum and will utilize the existing 125,000 cubic meters of LNG storage on board the carrier. Keppel will start the FEED study in November and detailed design and engineering is expected to be concluded around mid-2013 when vessel conversion is expected to start. The first unit will be developed through several construction stages in order to accommodate customer requirements and is expected to be ready for production by Q1 2015. Golar retains the option to convert two additional vessels with Keppel under the same agreement. The Company sees its partnership with an experienced shipyard and a production plant provider with significant LNG experience as valuable for minimizing technical risk in the project. This project rep resents the next phase in Golar's strategy of expanding its presence within the LNG industry. The Company aims to offer its customers unique, flexible and highly economical solutions, thereby capturing a substantially greater share of the overall LNG commodity trade value. The Board anticipates that the first unit can be financed through a combination of existing cash, future cash flow, further drop downs and new debt facilities and presently do not envisage any need for additional equity. Golar's Chairman John Fredriksen said, "Golar helped to open up the LNG market through the introduction of floating receiving terminals which have opened a lot of new markets for LNG. Our FLNGV's will be able to provide a fast-track, cost effective solution for developing new LNG production capacity. We believe this technology will be extremely attractive to companies looking to develop their natural gas assets and we are actively pursuing multiple opportunities. It is Golar's intention to market the solution for field developments as well as for direct production from existing pipeline infrastructure. The Board sees particular opportunities in the African region, where gas prices remain low. Significantly, large quantities of gas are currently being flared and the infrastructure doesn't naturally support large land based LNG investments. The Board is excited about the new business line and sees massive opportunities for growth in the next five to ten years".

Had to remove the ice-maker (also easier than trying to work inside the freezer letting all the cold air out). A few mounting screws and an electrical connection in the back. After it was out you will need to remove the cover (not the superficial cover that just pries off) where the gear is behind it, just far enough so you can get the mounting tabs on the ice-stripper in. In order to to move this cover out, after removing the screws (the obvious), you'll need needle nose pliers to ever so slightly squeeze the plastic clips together that hold the plastic movable bracket and the metal ice level arm/switch, so it will pop out. Once you have room to put the ice stripper in, it should just all snap back together, then proceed in reverse to put it all back together.

It looks like it's raining Skyfall these days (in terms of content, that is), but that shouldn't come as a surprise since the movie hits in about 22 days. This week, we saw a bevy of clips and TV spots released in anticipation of James Bond's twenty-third adventure. A viral site which featured a game that let you walk a (virtual) mile in Bond's shoes was also launched recently.
But if you're ready for more previews, more spoilers, and more of Bond girls Berenice Marlohe and Naomie Harris, then we're happy to oblige because we've got not one, not two, but five B-rolls that feature loads of behind-the-scenes action and footage from Skyfall.
You can watch the first one on the player above and hit the break for the rest. If you're curious about the music being featured in the movie, then there's also a video blog covering that at the very end. Enjoy!
And here's the video blog about the music on Skyfall:

Can I purchase a Visitor Pass from Cancun Airport, or upon arrival at Havana, or must I purchase it before leaving my home country
My girlfriend and I will be travelling to Cuba in mid July for 3 weeks and were wondering if anyone has any recommendations for great beaches in less touristy areas, we will be avoiding the likes of varadero and Cayo coco.
We will be travelling from Havana to Santiago de Cuba so any unique must see recommendations would be appreciated.
We were looking to go to Cayo sabinal also to see the flamingos and other wildlife in the area, has anyone been here and if so how was it?
hi I would like to know how much a taxi would cost from club amigo marea del portillo in Manzanillo to club amigo carisol los corales in Santiago de cuba
Is it still near impossible to withdraw money from an ATM using a TD bank card, even one with a Visa symbol?
hi I will reach at varadero at 7.30 pm.is there any money exchange at airport?
Next year on the march break my friends and I will be going to Varadero Cuba to celebrate our birthdays. We will be there for a week. And i was wondering where is good night club to go to. and there any clubs that have a dress code?
I will be in havana 5/18-5/24 and i was looking to hire a private driver, if you have any suggestions please let me know. Also i have been in contact with some brokers over there about renting a house, but if anyone has any good suggestions i am open, it is going to do 3 of us. Thanks everyone in advance for the help.
I booked a vacation to Varadero for May4-May 11. The weather forecast is concerning because it shows 80-90% of precipitation every single day, including from 12pm-6pm. Should I trust what the forecast says? Does it rain for an entire day in Cuba? Has it ever rained for an entire week in Cuba?
is there any body out there from sagua la grande?

The vote took place in an unusually solemn atmosphere, with senators sitting at their desks rather than milling around the podium. Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, looking frail and in a wheelchair, was in the chamber to support the treaty.Sen. Mike Lee "argued that the treaty by its very nature threatened U.S. sovereignty," and that because it includes language about providing equal access to reproductive health care to disabled people, it would lead to abortion. Because everything the UN does involves either black helicopters or abortion in the fevered brains of the tea party Republicans who now rule their party. Here's the roll call of the vote.
The treaty, already signed by 155 nations and ratified by 126 countries, including Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia, states that nations should strive to assure that the disabled enjoy the same rights and fundamental freedoms as their fellow citizens. Republicans objected to taking up a treaty during the lame-duck session of the Congress and warned that the treaty could pose a threat to U.S. national sovereignty.
"I do not support the cumbersome regulations and potentially overzealous international organizations with anti-American biases that infringe upon American society," said Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla.
And the international embarrassment that is the U.S. Republican Party continues.
12:55 PM PT: Sen. Harry Reid responds to the vote:
"It is a sad day when we cannot pass a treaty that simply brings the world up to the American standard for protecting people with disabilities because the Republican party is in thrall to extremists and ideologues. The United States is seen as a leader around the world. Today, we had a chance to lead, and we failed because a small group of Republican senators fear the Tea Party more than they care about equality for people with disabilities.
"Today's vote wasn't about Republicans or Democrats. It was about standing up for our heroes – men and women who risked their lives on the battlefield for the United States of America. This treaty was about 57 million Americans who live with a disability. Republicans such as former President George H.W. Bush, Senator McCain and former Senator Bob Dole called on their Republican colleagues to support these Americans. I am saddened those Senators did not listen. Their arguments against the treaty had no basis in fact – the treaty does not change United States law. That is why I plan to bring this treaty up for a vote again in the next Congress. Our wounded veterans and millions more around the world deserve better."

From the April 16 edition of Fox News' Hannity:
Loading the player reg...
Faced with the uncomfortable fact that President Obama lowered federal taxes for the vast majority of Americans this year, conservative media are looking to Congressional Republicans for talking points that harmonize better than reality with all those "Taxed Enough Already" people demonstrating on the mall this week. Fortunately, Michigan Republican Dave Camp released a document listing 25 "tax increases" signed into law by Obama since January 2009 "totaling more than $670 billion, or more than $2,100 for every man, woman and child in the United States." The next day, the "25 tax increases" claim appeared in the Wall Street Journal via Karl Rove. It jumped from there to Fox News, where Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade referenced Rove's column and said, "According to these statistics, there's been 25 tax increases since Barack Obama took office in 2008, so when people say wow, I feel overtaxed, they're pointing right to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue." Kilmeade repeated the statement on today's show, this time dropping the citation to Rove, let alone to the House GOP.
Blaming President Obama's policies, Karl Rove and Fox & Friends highlighted a Rasmussen poll finding that 66 percent of respondents believe America is "overtaxed." In doing so, Rove and Fox & Friends completely obscured the fact the vast majority of Americans paid lower federal taxes this year as a result of Obama's policies; moreover, the Rasmussen poll they cited also found that most respondents overestimate the tax rate paid by the average American.
From the April 14 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
Loading the player reg...
In his Wall Street Journal column, Karl Rove advanced the claim that the health care legislation "only appears to be affordable on paper because it includes 10 years worth of revenue from huge tax increases and gigantic Medicare cuts to pay for six years of spending." But, in fact, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that the Senate bill -- which the House passed -- will not only reduce budget deficits through 2019 but will continue to reduce deficits in the following decade.
Karl Rove proffered false and dubious claims to criticize the Obama administration's nuclear policy review as "troubling" and likely to "undermine our strength" -- a position at odds with military brass and nuclear experts who support a limited deterrent role for nuclear weapons. Rove's false claim that the United States "will not use nuclear weapons under any circumstance against a non-nuclear state" distorts a provision limited to nations acting in compliance with their non-proliferation obligations.
In his Wall Street Journal column, Karl Rove claimed that President Obama "dismisses" tea party participants "as an extremist 'strain [that] has existed in politics for a long time.' " In fact, in the interview Rove quoted, Obama explicitly said that tea party participants are not "on the fringe," and the movement includes people with "legitimate concerns."
Karl Rove claimed that Republicans were not "out there saying, 'Take away the $40 billion in small-business tax credits' " in the health care reform legislation. But one day earlier, 39 Republican senators cast votes in support of fully repealing the legislation, including the provisions providing tax credits to small businesses.
From the March 25 edition of Fox News' America Live:
Loading the player reg...
In recent days, Karl Rove baselessly claimed that Democratic leaders were using "threats" and "bribe[s]" to get Democratic House members to vote for the health care reform bill and making "backroom deals." But in his memoir, Rove described the behavior of Republican leaders in 2003 to get Republicans to vote for a Medicare prescription drug benefit -- which resulted in then-Majority Leader Tom DeLay's admonishment by a House ethics subcommittee -- as typical "horse-trading."
On ABC's This Week, Karl Rove pushed the anonymously sourced allegation that the White House tried to intimidate Democrats into voting for the health care bill by sending "unsolicited emails to federal employees." However, White House officials have stated that the emails were sent out to everyone on a voluntary White House mailing list and are not specifically targeted at federal employees.
From the March 21 edition of ABC's This Week:
Loading the player reg...
Media reports have repeatedly clouded the health care reform debate by uncritically reporting on false claims that the Senate health care bill provides federal funding for abortion beyond the limited cases allowed by current law: rape, incest, and conditions that endanger the life of the pregnant woman.
Karl Rove brought his misinformation tour to Meet the Press by making false claims about the Iraq war and the use of reconciliation to pass health care reform legislation.
In a March 11 Wall Street Journal editorial, Fox News Contributor Karl Rove falsely claimed that the Senate health care bill has "abortion-funding language," adds to the deficit and contains no immediate benefits. In fact, the Senate bill prohibits federal funding of abortion, contains numerous immediate benefits, and, according to the Congressional Budget Office, reduces the deficit.

One of the frequent complaints from "American Idol" judges during the recently wrapped season nine was that this year's younger teenage contestants couldn't really connect with the emotions and meaning of certain cover songs because they just hadn't experienced much outside of their parents' house and high school.
That makes it even more surprising that one of the show's producers announced in a press release touting this summer's "Idol" tour that for the upcoming 10th season, "Idol" will be lowering its age limit from 16 to 15.
"A lot of young, talented people are now seeking careers and representation before they turn 16. Lowering the age limit allows us to tap into this talent pool," said Cecile Frot-Coutaz, the show's executive producer. The move seems to go counter to the recent trend of 20-something winners and runners-up who had years of performance and recording experience under their belts, including David Cook, Kris Allen, Adam Lambert and this year's finalists, Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox, both 24.
The maximum age for the show will stay put at 28. The move sets up a situation where next year's contestants could be two years younger than this season's youngest, 17-year-old top-five finisher Aaron Kelly, who was frequently criticized by judge Kara DioGuardi for not really connecting with the passion behind some of the songs he covered due to his limited life experience. A number of outlets have already criticized "Idol" for seemingly chasing after the Justin Bieber train with the new age requirements.
In the meantime, there's still no word on who might replace departed lead judge Simon Cowell, even with the prospect of auditions already looming. The "Idol"-making machinery is slated to kick off again July 17 with open auditions a the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, and current plans call for wannabe singers to sing in front of DioGuardi, Randy Jackson and Ellen DeGeneres. The audition process will continue on with casting calls in Milwaukee (July 21, Bradley Center); New Orleans (July 26, TBA); East Rutherford, New Jersey (August 3, Izod Center); Austin, Texas (August 11, Frank Erwin Center); and San Francisco (August 19, AT&T Park).
Get your "Idol" fix on MTV News' "American Idol" page, where you'll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

Recent Martha's Vineyard Reviews
The Beach + House= Perfection on MV
My wife and I decided to try Martha's Vineyard for the first time. We have been to Nantucket but never MV and thought we wanted something different. This Chilmark Farmhouse was just the ticket. It was the perfect week long get away with the perfect beach. Hancock Beach (which they give you the key to) was the most peaceful beach I have every been on. It was a short walk/drive down a beautiful private pathway with a gate so not just anyone could come. It had no snack shacks or loud patrons, just you and the beach. Even saw some dolphins and sea lions! One of the nice locals told me the sea lion's name was Herby! The house was perfectly kept with the most unique and beautiful antiques I have ever seen. The book case full of interesting history just like the house. The owners have amazing taste mixing modern amenities with a classic MV farmhouse touch. The Chilmark store and Ally's is short drive in either direction down South Road. Do not miss the farmers market in West Tisbury! We got such great food that we brought to the beach that day. A stroll on the property at the end of the evening was the icing on the cake. I would 100% go back and visit next summer!
Wonderful Experience
This property has it all! We rented this location for our wedding in Sept 2014. The owner was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, even helping us locate vendors on the island. The property is picturesque and made our dream wedding come true. The house is top notch as far as quality, cleanliness, and amenities. We had some family members stay with us and the size of the house provides everyone with their own space. Even on wedding morning the men and women could all get ready comfortably without the potential for seeing the groom too soon. We love this place and will definitely be back any time we come to the Vineyard.
Fantastic Family Reunion
"We had a wonderful vacation at this gorgeous rental home in Katama, and I would like to recommend this home highly. Definitely one of our favorite places we have stayed as a family, and the location of the home was ideal for us, as it is a short walk to south beach, or a fun, easy bike ride into Edgartown. One of our favorite things to start our day with was just that, a bike ride into Edgartown for coffee and/or breakfast, and some exercise (many many bikes to choose from, as they were provided with the house). My wife and I loved riding the beach cruisers, although we did give the tandem bike a try too. The home is quite spacious, nicely appointed, and very comfortable, and it accommodated our big group of families, for our mini-reunion of sorts. Plenty of comfortable rooms upstairs and downstairs for adults, with privacy and separation when you needed quiet time (there is a cottage as well, with two more rooms available). At the end of the day, we all ended up in the kitchen/large family room upstairs (which we called the Great Room), which has a very beautiful, and large wooden dining table that could seat us all, and we much appreciated being able to do that without dividing our crew up at dinner time. This is the largest, brightest room in the house and where we all seemed to congregate and had lots of laughs, meals, wine, and even impromptu dance parties that the kids put on! great memories created, although I think I pulled something trying to do an old dance move from long ago.. There is a deck just off of this room which was a good place to relax, or read in the sun, and made it easy for us to watch the kids swim in the pool just below as we prepared meals. The Great Room was our favorite room, although I think my wife's favorite might have been the sauna! Everything we needed was provided with the house, and the owners were very friendly and helpful with the whole process. Great stay, beautiful home, we all definitely want to make a return stay here in summers to come!"

Britto added that Louis Vuitton's No. 1 problem with Sony BMG was likely the advertisement for goods the label doesn't even produce. But she said that there is a general trend among high-end designers to do everything they can to market their products to the groups of people they really want to see wearing them.
"The brands don't say it, but where they spend their marketing dollars is very reflective of who they want wearing their things," said Britto.
Steve Hall, the editor of a marketing industry blog Adrants.com, agrees, and says that while the brand executives may not come right out and say who they do and do not want photographed wearing their items, they make it clear in other ways.
"They will launch the legal machine just to make headaches because they don't want to be associated with Britney Spears, who shaves her head and has a teen sister who has a baby," said Hall.
"While they can't say that Britney's family isn't allowed to buy their products, they're not happy with the association, so they do try to stop it," Hall added.
Hall said that marketing strategists for these companies work long and hard to develop their image and the last thing they want is someone to "take a crayon and draw all over the brand's clear image."
The approach can backfire, said Hall. A celebrity's endorsement of an item can catapult a brand as high as their disapproval can harm it.
"Celebrities have a giant influence just by picking up a particular brand," said Hal. "But they can conversely destroy it if they think the brand is manhandling them or just being rude."
Brands likely weigh the risks before taking action against stars, and Hall said that Louis Vuitton probably didn't believe Idol's Studdard to be a big enough money-maker to have any long-term effect on the company's sales.
But much of the brand imaging that high-end companies work hard to mold is out of their hands, according to Hall.
"[Luxury brands] can control what happens in their actual marketing because they'll pay for celebrities to appear, but what happens organically they can't really control, even though they'd like to."

Recent stories in the Union-Bulletin and newspapers across the country have chronicled the ``unexpected'' financial shortfall in the Department of Veterans Affairs' health-care programs.
The revelation of a $2.5 billion hole for 2005 and 2006 had politicians on both sides of the aisle hopping mad.
How embarassing is it to have this kind of story break right before members of Congress head home for Fourth of July celebrations? VA Secretary Jim Nicholson said most of the shortfall could be traced to unexpected health-care demands from veterans of all combat eras and an underestimation of the number of wounded troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
While it may be impossible to predict to the dollar how much the VA will need for health care, it stretches credulity to say this is unexpected.
How can you not expect aging veterans to require more health care? How can you not expect the number of wounded to do anything but increase at an unhealthy pace?If these scenarios so easily stump those in charge of watching out for veterans' welfare, we have to ask: Are we _ locally and as a nation _ providing the quality and accessibility of medical services our veterans deserve?We don't have an answer to that question _ yet. But with the help of local veterans and VA employees, the Union-Bulletin hopes to get answers to that and other questions.
We believe veterans and the public have a right _ and a need _ to have as much information on this subject as possible.
As we pondered the situation, we found we had lots of questions. Among other things, we want to find out:4What were veterans promised in regard to health care?4What kind of waiting list do veterans face and how does that compare to public hospitals and clinics?4How easy or difficult is it for veterans to access health-care services?4How do the medical results at VA facilities compare with other hospitals and clinics treating patients with similar health problems?4How does the VA system stack up to the fiscal norms of other well run hospitals?4Do VA facilities have up-to-date medical equipment?4Has the VA health-care budget kept pace with the number of veterans and the rate of inflation in health-care costs?4In 10 years, as older veterans die and more veterans are wounded in action, will there be a net increase or net decrease in health-care demands?4If you could design the perfect health-care system for veterans, what would it look like and what would it cost?Until some of these questions are answered, it is impossible to know if the VA is grossly underfunded or wastefully overspending. Or to conclude whether we as a country are meeting or exceeding or falling way short of our responsibility to care for our veterans.
For us to be able to bring these answers to our readers, we need guidance from veterans and health-care providers. We need to know your concerns and your experiences.
To help launch this process, we are setting up a series of community meetings. On July 19, we are inviting World War II and Korean veterans to meet with us at 5 p.m. at the Union-Bulletin. On July 26 at 5 p.m., we would like to meet with veterans from the 1960s through the current conflict.
On Aug. 2 at 5 p.m., we asking VA employees and health-care providers to meet with us. Anyone interested in this topic is welcome to attend any of the meetings or to contact me by phone or e-mail.
Armed with these local concerns and questions, we will go in search of answers. What we find will be reported in a continuing series of stories until there is a clearer picture on the current health-care situation for veterans and a projection on what the future holds.

Japan opposition urges PM to stay with apology
Published on Jan 9, 2013 6:04 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - A Japanese opposition lawmaker on Tuesday urged Prime Minister Shinzo Abe not to alter a two-decade apology to World War II sex slaves, saying a revision would be "counterproductive."
Mr Abe, an outspoken conservative, called before taking office for a review of the landmark apology issued in 1993 by then top government spokesman Yohei Kono - a move that would outrage Asian neighbours, particularly South Korea.
On a visit to Washington, parliament member Motohiro Oono - whose Democratic Party of Japan lost power in Dec 16 elections - said that views on history should be left to academics.
"We believe that... if the government revises (the) statement of Kono on history, it is counterproductive," Mr Oono said at the Heritage Foundation think tank. "We would like to request Mr. Abe to have a cautious attitude to revising this historical issue," Mr Oono said.

Los Angeles, CA (August 18, 2009) In the days when American television allowed cigarette commercials on its airwaves, there was one whose slogan was: Id walk a mile for a Camel. That trek pales in comparison to the air miles that #1-rated WBC super featherweight contender Sergey Gulyakevich traveled to take on #3-ranked Humberto Mauro Gutierrez for the interim WBC Super Featherweight Title this Saturday night, August 22nd at the Auditorio Unidad Deportiva in Los Cabos, California Big Sur, Mexico..
The 28-year old Gulyakevich (26-1, 12 KOs) arrived in Cabo after an 8,000 mile flight from his home in Minsk, Belarus to battle the 20-year old Gutierrez (25-1-1, 19 KOs), fighting in his home country of Mexico.
It was a long flight but Im ready to fight now, Gulyakevich, interpreted by co-manager Philippe Fondu, said. Fighting for the world championship has been my dream and what Ive worked so hard for. Im fighting for my country and plan on bringing the WBC belt home with me.
With an extensive background consisting of over 100 amateur fights and a multi-national champion in his native country, Gulyakevich has been a pro for over six years. At 5-10, he is tall for the 130-pound weight class and uses his height and reach exceptionally well. Described at times as somewhat awkward, he throws punches from unusual angles, which have helped him secure the top rating in the WBC.
One thing I can tell you said Fondu, Sergey is tough and determined with excellent stamina, which has allowed him to be effective late in several of his fights and I know hes going to be the new champion.
Gulyakevich was 16-0 when he stopped Dmitry Tarenko in the 10th round to claim the Belarus Super Featherweight Title in November, 2005. Two fights later in April, 2006, he challenged Alex Arthur in Scotland for the European (EBU) title, but sustained a cut over his left eye in the seventh round from an accidental head butt and the referee stopped the bout. Behind on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage, Gulyakevich absorbed the only loss of his career.
Since then he has won eight straight bouts, including a 12-round unanimous decision over Leva Kirakosyan to capture the EBU Super Featherweight Title in his second try in December, 2007 in Italy. Following a non-title win, he made his one and only successful defense of his crown in December, 2008 in Germany with a 12-round unanimous decision win over Vitali Tajbert, before relinquishing the title to secure his upcoming WBC title shot.
In Gutierrez, Gulyakevich will be taking on a southpaw opponent eight years his junior, with a high knockout ratio in his home country. His only loss came via eight-round, split decision to Guadalupe Rosales in May, 2008. Two fights later, Gutierrez avenged that setback with a 10-round unanimous decision to win a WBC Super featherweight Title Eliminator last October. He won a hard-fought, eight-round majority decision over Carlos Parra in his last outing back in April of this year.
Now co-promoted by Goossen Tutor Promotions and World Sport Promotions, Gulyakevich is managed by the duo of Philippe Fondu and Valery Kaplia and trained by Piotr Bikhtanovich.
We appreciate the confidence World Sport Promotions provided us with our association with them in helping to guide the career of Sergey Gulyakevich, said Goossen Tutor Promotions President Dan Goossen. Sergey has established himself as the number one contender in the WBC and we believe he has a bright future as a formidable world champion in the 130-pound division.
17 Straight Wins Vaults Manny Quezada Into Top World Title Contention
Los Angeles, CA (August 17, 2009) - Fresh off a stunning first-round knockout of highly-regarded heavyweight Travis Walker, Manuel "El Toro" Quezada (28-4-1, 18 KOs) has climbed the ladder in the World Boxing Council (WBC) rankings from last months #9 position to the #4 WBC heavyweight contender.
Quezada's latest victory was the 17th straight for the 31-year-old, native of Wasco, CA, who was making the third defense of his WBC CABOFE title. In 2009 Quezada, who has displayed increased punching power since Joe Goossen took over as his trainer, has won all three of these fights by knockout - the last two coming in the opening round.
As the #4 contender in the WBC -- whose champion is Vitali Klitschko -- only former world champ Oleg Maskaev, Ray Austin and Goossen-Tutor stablemate and top-ranked Cristobal Arreola, are rated ahead of him.
"We are very pleased of the tremendous progress Manny Quezada has made," Goossen Tutor Promotions President Dan Goossen observed.
"I had called before to get some fights (with top 10 boxers) and they didn't answer," Queada said. "Those phones will be ringing now."
Braekhus to defend WBA/WBC Titles against Morelli in Herning
Cecilia Braekhus is looking forward to her first professional fight in Denmark as she prepares for her September 12 clash with Lucia Morelli. The First Lady, unbeaten in 12 bouts (2 KOs), is thrilled to be a part of Team Sauerland´s fight night in Herning. I cannot box in Norway, so this is probably about as close as I will get to home, she said with her trademark smile. I am really excited to fight in Herning. I have a lot of friends in Denmark and I really want to put on a good show.
The 27-year-old will make the second defence of her WBA/WBC Female Welterweight Titles since edging Danish star Vinni Skovgaard in a tough fight in March. In May, she clinched an uncontested points victory over Amy Yuratovac in Helsinki. I finally got a one-week vacation afterwards which I spent on the beach in Tunisia. I then returned to Norway to work out and do some TV and media shootings. I have been training in Berlin since July. Even though the work-outs are very hard, I still enjoy them. I want to get better every day.
Braekhus believes that the fight against Morelli will be one of the toughest of my career. The Italian is unbeaten in 13 fights and boasts a KO quota of almost 50 percent. She will be tough to beat, but as the world champion, I have to defend my titles against the best opponents out there, added the First Lady. It will be a hard fight but I am sure I will win.
Braekhus needs to overcome another challenge. I have yet to find hotel rooms for my friends and my family everything seems to be sold out in Herning. But that is no surprise since Mikkel Kessler really is a Danish national hero. Everybody is excited to see him in action. I am really happy to fight in front of such an enthusiastic audience with so much love for the sport of boxing. It will be a great night in Herning.
In the main fight, Mikkel Kessler will defend his WBA Super-Middleweight Title against mandatory challenger Gusmyl Perdomo.

ORANGE, Richard Callahan: Now that city council elections are over, it is time for winners to face reality, put away campaign rhetoric and promises and no longer nostalgically live in the past ignoring the reality of situations cities face with the looming unfunded pension and health care promises to city workers.
Many O.C. cities are looking into the face of a financial "crush," a potential financial contagion that could bring cities to their knees, that is similar to what happened in Vallejo and Stockton.
For example a financial audit performed for the city of Orange in June 2011 identified in the "Notes to Financial Statements" section under the Retirement Plan's "Schedule of Funding Progress for CalPERS," an unfunded liability of more than $101 million primarily due to a defined-benefit pension structure and miserable investment performance from CalPERS investments for which the taxpayer picks up the shortfall.
Additionally, there are "Unfunded Actuarial" liabilities of another $12.5 million "Post Employment Benefits," health, accrued leave, etc. These total about 130 percent of the city's annual operating revenue.
The critical nature of the city's liabilities must be addressed at once. Council members must analyze and identify the amounts and develop comprehensive funding plans. They must also take immediate action to facilitate a change in pension plans from defined benefit to defined contribution to avoid future taxpayer subsidies. In addition, caps on accrued leave must be established and health care benefits must be aligned to those of private industry.
City leaders can no longer ignore this looming problem, but, instead, must take definitive action and make hard choices to avoid an "Orange crush."
Tough days for King's dream
FULLERTON, Joe Weston: In August 1963, standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the Rev.Martin Luther King, Jr., gave an extraordinary and memorable speech about the terrible plight of African-Americans and his dream that freedom and justice for all Americans, of all races and beliefs, was soon going to become a reality.
Among many other powerful statements, he said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
The Civil Rights Act was passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law in July of 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Racial discrimination in most realms of commerce and societal activity was outlawed.
And yet today, a massive social construct has emerged that's sole purpose seems to be to celebrate and promote division, separation and even distrust along racial and cultural lines, all in the name and in the cause of diversity. This point was proven in predictions about racial and cultural voting patterns before the recent election and in analyses afterward in broad and extensive coverage in the national news media.
This seems to be a total subversion of the ideas and dreams Dr. King so valiantly believed and taught. He envisioned an America in which the cohesive promise of our national motto would be fully realized in the lives of all citizens. The motto is, "E Pluribus Unum," which means, "From Many, One."
Take the road to reality
SAN CLEMENTE, Hugo Folli: I got snarled in a traffic mess recently on the southbound I-5 at Camino de Estrella in San Clemente. This mess should serve as warning to city, county and state "planners" about how fragile our infrastructure is there. On a personal level, the Friday after Thanksgiving was just an annoyance affecting a leisure drive. But if anyone had needed emergency care in the area, it would not have been timely if they were able to get it at all.
I would imagine that it would be reasonable enough to make a case for suing these entities in case of personal loss. It is downright criminal to only have one major artery to connect through the south section of the county.
The toll road, long ago promised and overdue, should be extended beyond the south end of San Clemente and the La Pata extension and completed. This would at least ensure that South County residents have access to move around in a manner that is more expected to be seen in Third World country than in Southern California – once known and admired for its traffic infrastructure.

Pune: With the rise in toll charges on Pune-Mumbai expressway, travellers will now have to shell out more money to avail cool cab services on the route. Citing the reason of the revised toll charge and rise in petrol and diesel price, fares of Pune-Mumbai Cool Cab Service have been revised from April 1.
Pune-Mumbai Cool Cab Taxi Association has stated that as per the revised fares, passenger would now have to pay Rs475 for the shared taxi, as against Rs380, while the fare for entire taxi would cost Rs1,900 as against Rs1,520. There are around 450 cool cab taxies that ply on Pune-Mumbai-Pune route, of which around 200 ply on a daily basis.
President of Pune-Mumbai Taxi Owners' Association, Hardeep Singh said, "The rates of the cool cab have been constant for the last three years, despite the fact that there has been a steady rise in the fuel prices. Although the state transport department had approved the revised rates for cool cab service In October last year, we did continue to provide the service on old rates."
"With the increase of toll rates by Rs30 and fuel price going up, it was impossible to ply on the old rate. Increase in the fare hike is been nominal so that there is minimum burden on the passengers," added Singh.
Owner of the International Tours and Travel, Arshad Memon, said, "Even as the express-way toll rates have increased we will not be increasing the fare of cab that are plying on the Pune-Mumbai route. As of now the rate for shared taxi is Rs350 and for hiring the cab the fare is between Rs2,500 to Rs3,500."
But to much respite to travellers, who prefer Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC), air-condition Shivneri buses over cool cabs, fares for the same will remain unaffected. Speaking to dna, divisional controller of MSRTC, Sailesh Chavan said, "Even after the hike in toll rates on Pune-Mumbai express-way, fare for A/c Shivneri buses plying on the route will remain unaffected. The current rate of the A/c buses plying on the route is Rs465, there will be no additional charge to this."
Passengers misery who will have to shell out more for traveling on Pune-Mumbai route.
Pranay Ajmera, (35), working professional, resident of Kalyani Nagar said,"Increase in the toll rates and then the fare of the cool cabs is just adding on to the burden of the common man. This increase in rates will only add fuel to the fire and common men like us are always at the receiving end."
Vaibhav Raut (29), IT professional, resident of Kothrud said,"Every weekend I travel Mumbai to visit my parents. The fare hike was unnecessary I will now have to think of other mode of transport as I will not be able to shell out Rs 100 extra every time I travel to Mumbai."
Girish Vij (33), working professional, resident of Hadapsar, said,"There is no option but to pay extra money and travel by cool cab, as the ac buses plying to Mumbai take extra time moreover there are hardly any trains that we can choose from if we have to travel to Mumbai."
New rates for cool cab from Pune-Mumbai-Pune (Cool Cabs).
Indica: Sharing: Rs 475 / Hiring the cab: Rs 1,900
Innova:Sharing: Rs 712 / Hiring the cab: Rs 2850
Private cabs : Sharing :Rs. 350 / Hiring the cab (Indica- Rs 2500 onward) Innova (Rs 3000 to Rs 3500).
MSRTC Shivneri buses: Rs 465
