Derek Jarman's final film "Blue":
Blue is the twelfth and final feature film by director Derek Jarman, released four months before his death from AIDS-related complications. Such complications had already rendered him partially blind at the time of the film's release.
The film was his last testament as a film-maker, and consists of a single shot of saturated blue colour filling the screen, as background to a soundtrack where Jarman's and some of his favourite actors' narration describes his life and vision.

Hybrid Icing
Hybrid icing rule implemented by NHL for 2013-14 season
The NHLPA gave the go-ahead for the rule change that makes icing a race to an imaginary line across the faceoff dots instead of the puck, which was given a trial run during the preseason.

Bears QB Cutler to have surgery on broken thumb
"That's a huge play in the game," Urlacher said. "Probably a 10-point swing right there, with him making that play. I wish he wouldn't have made it, I'll tell you that much. I'd take it back right now, let the guy score, because we still got the lead. It was 31-27 if he scores. It was a great play by him to keep him out of the end zone and the effort he made on the play, but like I said, we'd trade it for a touchdown right now."
Instead, they're turning to Hanie and looking to bring in someone with more experience.
No word on Brett Favre and for what it's worth, Kurt Warner isn't available.
The quarterback for Mike Martz's "Greatest Show On Turf" in St. Louis made it clear with this post on Twitter he's not coming out of retirement: "I am bummed 4 (at)JayCutler6 ! Been there 2 many times & he was playing great fball! Yes, I know & luv offense but NO I am NOT unretiring!"
This isn't completely new territory for the Bears.
Rex Grossman missed most of the year in 2005 after breaking an ankle in the preseason, forcing Chicago to go with rookie Kyle Orton, a fourth-round draft pick out of Purdue. The Bears ran a simplified offense and went 10-5 with him as their starter thanks to a dominant defense and a solid running game. They won the NFC North at 11-5 and ultimately fell to Carolina in the playoffs.
Losing Cutler is different, though. He has been throwing well and his line has kept him upright during their winning streak.
One bright spot for the Bears: They are in a relatively weak part of the schedule.
Winning at Oakland won't be easy, and they still have to visit Green Bay on Dec. 25. The other games are at home against Kansas City on Dec. 4, at Denver the following week, at home against Seattle on Dec.18 and the finale at Minnesota.
"It's kind of one of those things that's tough to deal with, when you lose a guy like Jay who's been playing really well, and a leader on the team," linebacker Nick Roach said. "But it's kind of one of those things that happen in football every week. Somebody loses a big part of their team, and that's why you have other guys on the roster who can play."

UT's running game gaining momentum for Akron
It hasn't been enough to win, but the University of Toledo's running attack has been encouraging over the last three games.
The Rockets are averaging 150.3 yards per game and 3.89 yards per carry over that span.
Those aren't whopping numbers, but both are higher than UT's season averages of 128 yards per game and 3.6 yards per rush.
With UT's offense struggling - the Rockets have scored just 57 points in four Mid-American Conference games, all losses - the running backs will have to keep stepping up for the Rockets to compete against Akron tonight at 7 in the Glass Bowl.
"We've been playing for two years, so we have the experience," said sophomore back Richard Davis. "We have young quarterbacks, so it's up to us to lead the offense. If we run well, then it opens up some other stuff and that will help the quarterbacks."
The Rockets are averaging 200 yards per game passing, but the committee of quarterbacks has almost as many interceptions (10) as touchdown passes (11).
"With our situation, youth-wise, we need to stick to basic plays that we can execute well," UT coach Tom Amstutz said. "I think we have a corps of running backs who are working very hard and have some ability. We certainly need them to do their share."
In last Saturday's 17-13 loss at Eastern Michigan, UT (2-6, 0-4) ran the ball 37 times for 175 yards.
"I was encouraged," Amstutz said. "The line blocked hard and our backs ran with some determination."
Jalen Parmele carried 17 times for 99 yards against EMU. He has 558 yards on the season, is averaging 5.1 yards per carry and has scored five touchdowns.
"We have to keep it up," said Parmele, a junior. "The right side of the line has battled injuries, but those guys have had some good games lately. The tight ends are blocking well too. So I think we're making progress."
Davis has 196 yards and three touchdowns rushing while redshirt freshman DaJuane Collins is averaging 6.5 yards per carry.
"We have three different guys with three different styles, so it can make things tough on a defense," Parmele said. "I'm pretty much a power runner. I like to get vertical and run downhill. Richard is quick and more move-oriented. He likes to make tacklers miss. DaJuane is a mixture of the two styles.
"Defenses have to adjust from tackling high or low, from having speed or power coming at them."
Plus, added Davis, "We're always able to have a fresh back in the game."
Akron's running game has been even more meager than Toledo's, although the Zips (3-4, 1-2) got a boost last weekend while posting their first MAC win over Miami.
Dennis Kennedy posted season highs with 31 carries for 129 yards and two touchdowns. He has 458 rushing yards on the season, but the Zips are still averaging just 78.4 yards per game and 2.6 yards per carry.
Akron swept MAC East Division player of the week honors after beating Miami 24-13. Kennedy took the offensive award while defensive back Davanzo Tate was tops on his side of the ball with seven solo tackles and four pass break-ups.

At the center of research across the Smithsonian are the specialized branches and librarians of the Smithsonian Libraries. The contents and staff of the Libraries play a key role in helping the Smithsonian's research and curatorial staff makes sense of the museums' almost innumerable, often unique, objects and their cultural and historical contexts. The Smithsonian Libraries are a hidden national treasure, where experts come to test and expand knowledge and where America and the world can turn for authentic answers.
Behind the amazing museum exhibits and definitive writings of the Smithsonian Institution, there are over 1,500 research and curatorial staff, many of whom are leading authorities in their fields of science, history, culture, and the arts. Behind the walls and websites of the Smithsonian's museums these researchers and curators have access to the resources they need to ensure the accuracy of their work and to advance knowledge in their fields. These essential resources are embodied in the collections and staff of the Smithsonian Libraries.
The Smithsonian Libraries is a network of 20 specialized research libraries supporting each of the Institution's museums and initiatives. The subjects comprehended by this globally unique complex of libraries and librarians are as diverse and deep as the collections, exhibits, and scholarship they support. They truly span the range of scientific and cultural pursuits of humanity from aerospace, anthropology, astronomy, astrophysics, and art history to biology and botany, to cultural history, portraiture, philately, zoology, and much, much more.
While sharing the values, methods, and efficiencies of a unified network, each library in the system nonetheless is unique in itself. Each one supports the work of its own community of interest comprising specialized researchers and curators of the museums, as well as visiting scholars, educators, students, and others pursuing or advancing knowledge in their fields.
The Smithsonian Libraries and its highly qualified librarians help each of their communities by not only collecting, preserving and sharing the often original materials needed to source and verify facts. They also provide valuable guidance and support, directing users to the most relevant on-site or on-line sources and helping them frame and execute productive research strategies.
Individually each of these libraries is among the world's greatest repositories of knowledge for the specialized fields they support. Collectively they are among America's greatest scientific and cultural treasures. They belong to the nation, and through their expanding on-line presence and digitalization initiatives more and more people from across the country and around the world are able to access their vast resources.
Not surprisingly, as information technologies compound the ability and need to share knowledge, the demands on this unique and valuable source of knowledge are constantly growing. However, the financial resources required to meet these demands are increasingly constrained.
We invite you to get involved and to support the Smithsonian Libraries, contributing within your capacities either to the central initiatives of the Libraries or to a specific library whose collections and work aligns with your own interests and curiosity.
Come discover and explore the amazing resources of the Smithsonian Libraries and support the important role they play in maintaining and extending America's place in the world's scientific and cultural forums.

Surely Wawrinka has the best 1hbh in the mens game...
After watching his performance against Murray, it has to be the most offensive 1hbh in the mens game...Great at slice, passing shots and has the ability to step in and hit above waist height balls for winners. Wawrinka was generating way more pace off the backhand than Murray, who himself dictates most players with his 2hbh.
One of the many amazing bh's he hit in the match against Murrry. (1.12)
gasquet, federer, arguably better
I'll take GAsquet for 500, Alex
There is this guy called Federer.
Another one called Almagro
Gaudio, Pavel, Haas, there are many who can crush a 1 hander. But lack variety.
i like it. but gasquet's is sweet . . . when he isn't standing 5,000 feet behind the baseline and is actually taking a cut at the ball.
Also OP your namesake wasn't bad :)
Gasquet, Wawrinka, Montanes
it will truly be an epic battle...of men with horrible skin.
My money is on Querry. Bad skin aside, Stan is at least cute.
Almagro and Haas have a quality 1hbh but nowhere near as good as Wawrinka. Gasquet has a great one hander, but to me he struggles against high balls and retreats too far behind the baseline. He's DTL is a killer though. Wawrinka's rally ball is just abit more penetrating and flatter.
Someone needs to upload the full highlights reel from the match against Murray.
Top 3 (active players):
I agree that the Wawrinka BH is very impressive. Still would give the blue ribbon ro Gasquet tho' -- his BH is downright magical.
Gasquet takes such a huge swing and has such a big windup that his backhand is very inconsistent compared to Wawrinka. If I had to choose it's Wawrinka; steadier, more consistent in rallies, and just as good in terms of pace and placement. Gasquet may be able to do a few more tricky shots with his backhand, but I think Wawrinka drives it alot better consistently.
Dudi Sela's 1hbh is really nice too. He's fearless with that thing.
There is no greater site in tennis than someone playing a full blooded 1 hand back hand (aka real man's backhand). The most impressive match for a 1hbh I have seen would have to be Almagro v Nadal in a final earlier this year - Almagro won the first set and just smashed winners of the back hand so easily.
Federer's isn't far behind, especially the angled flick he loves to do... very niiice.
For me, Calleri used to have the best. I'd agree with you and say Wawrinka is the best these days.
Yeah. I wanna say his is the best. Sure there are guys that can hit it harder. But since when does that mean everything in tennis? Wawrinka has the best balance of power, consistency and variety.
I'd kill to see a match between each other (the three of them: Almagro, Gasquet, Wawrinka)
Nowadays a Federer topspin/flat backhand opener or winner has become so rare and exotic that you might as well put it up on the list of endangered stroke-species.
Wawa rocks ... but on a good day Kohl, Magro ... can be good. I've even once seen Robredo (against Kolya) hitting very well.

BOULDER — Colorado is about to learn about life without Alec Burks. Can anyone possibly replace all that magic?
Carlon Brown, anyone? Jeremy Adams?
Relatively unknown now among CU fans, Brown and Adams had better become household names next winter if the Buffaloes have any hope of replacing Burks, a bouncy shooting guard who surprised no one Thursday by announcing he's headed to the NBA and will not return for his junior season.
Burks, 6-foot-6, led the Big 12 Conference in scoring (20.5) this past season, and CU coach Tad Boyle said replacing Burks' stats-stuffing production — he also ranked 12th among Big 12 players in rebounding (6.5) and 14th in assists (2.95) — will not fall on any one player.
"I feel a lot of guys on this team can have breakout years next season," Burks said after the news conference, which he called "a great day" because the NBA has been a lifelong dream. "They're going to do a lot better than people think. I'm going to be their biggest fan."
There's a lot to replace, and it's just not Burks. Also leaving a deep void are the team's other double-figure scorers: departing seniors Cory Higgins (16.1), Levi Knutson (11.7) and Marcus Relphorde (11.2). Higgins completed his illustrious career in a tie with Richard Roby (2004-08) as the school's all-time leading scorer with 2,001 points.
Boyle arrived from Northern Colorado about this time last year and inherited a veteran roster. It's a different story for 2011-12. Eight of the 12 scholarship players on the roster will be freshmen or sophomores.
"We are losing a lot from last year's team," Boyle said. "But the next team would be a new team, whether Alec came back or not. This doesn't change the course we're on.
"Some years you have more coming back than others. We're not as good; we're not as experienced. But that doesn't mean we can't have a great year."
Boyle said Brown and Adams will get the first cracks at filling the scoring wing positions manned for a combined six seasons by Higgins (four) and Burks (two).

Brown, 6-5 and 215 pounds, is a senior transfer from Utah (scoring a team-best 12.6 points per game in 2009-10) who is ready to make the most of his only season in a Colorado uniform. He may not possess the athleticism of Burks, but he's close. As a transfer, Brown practiced with CU last season and threw down as many tomahawk dunks as anybody, including Burks.
"Carlon is one of the most athletic guys I've ever seen," Burks said Thursday. "Colorado fans are going to love him."
Before his junior season at Utah, Brown was named by one preseason college basketball publication as the "most entertaining" player in the Mountain West Conference. Another college hoops yearbook ranked Brown as the MWC's best athlete.
Adams, CU's lone spring signee, also is big for a wing guard at 6-5. He transferred from Navarro (Junior) College in Texas after redshirting his first year at Texas A&M. Adams led a balanced Navarro attack with 12.4 points per game this past season, but Boyle is well aware Adams averaged 27 points as a high school senior in talent-rich Mississippi.
Unlike most junior college transfers, Adams will have three years of eligibility at CU rather than the standard two.
"Jeremy does a little bit of everything," Boyle said. "He chose Colorado based on this (Burks declaring for the NBA) being a possibility. . . . He had an opportunity to be an immediate factor and contributor. That was appealing to him."
CU is going to be looking for improved play from returnees such as point guards Nate Tomlinson and Shannon Sharpe and forward Andre Roberson. Big things are expected of 6-11 sophomore center Shane Harris-Tunks, who missed last season with a torn ACL, and 6-3 junior guard Sabatino Chen is a transfer from the University of Denver who Boyle believes is better suited for CU's up-tempo offense.
Also coming aboard are three freshmen who were standouts at Los Angeles-area high schools: 6-4 point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, 6-1 combo guard Askia Booker and 6-7, 230-pound power forward Damiene Cain. Boyle does not expect any of the newcomers to redshirt.
"We're going to talk to everybody about elevating their game," Boyle said. "One door shuts and another opens. There are open doors now for our guys to step through.
"I'm proud of Alec. This is something we can use as a positive (in recruiting). The NBA can happen for players that come to Colorado."

Cute cold weather shopping clothes!
'Tis the season to go shopping and aside from what to buy someone, my biggest questions these days are what to wear. If I wear jeans and sneakers I'm comfy to run around all day and night but pair that with no makeup and a ponytail and I look like a tween. Looking younger sometimes has its perks but when I'm shopping in some places I am not helped as quickly or eagerly while I'm dressed down as compared to when I'm donning heels and a frilly designer bag (that takes away shopping bag carrying space in my hand).
If I'm going to run in and out of stores, I worry about temperature changes. It feels like the colder it is outside, the warmer it is inside shops. I need to prepare for outdoor elements but hate removing and lugging around my cold weather essentials. Howsoever can a petite dress comfy and chic?
This month's challengeThe weather outside is frightful, but indoor shopping is warm and delightful. So, whether you have wind, rain, or snow, show me your clothes when shopping for friends or foes!
Please keep in mind that you should prepare for the cold without looking like Joey from Friends in that episode (see pic below) where he wore all of Chandler's clothes. And yes, extra cool points will be granted for pictures taken while shopping!
I look forward to seeing your outfits!

The Three Rivers Bulldogs (4- 2, 2-1 District 14 2A II) gashed the Nixon Smiley Mustangs (3-4, 1-2 District 14 2A II) for 358 yards and four touchdowns on the ground en route to a 27-12 victory last Friday night at Furlow Johanson Field.
Senior Troy Chowns rushed for 175 yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries in the win.
"I thought Troy made some really outstanding runs," Head Coach Randy Palmer said. "[Chowns] had good vision, broke some tackles and he was a big key for us winning the football game."
Senior Kaleb Gee also surpassed the century mark with 102 yards on 14 carries and was the target on a 44 yard connection from Sophomore Hagan Johnston.
Throughout the game the Bulldogs methodically put drives together that marched deep into Mustang territory on the shoulders of the offensive line who Palmers said "were definitely the reason why we were in control of the game."
"I loved it," Palmer said with a smile, when asked about how his team controlled the ball. "I thought the offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage. We were able to get push up front and executed very well."
After a 12 yard touchdown run in the first quarter, Chowns bursted for a 73 yard touchdown midway in the second. An extra point added by junior Zenon Sanchez brought the score to 14-0.
One the ensuing kickoff, Sanchez booted the ball off a Mustang's facemask for a Bulldog onside recovery.
The Bulldogs took advantage and put together a 52 yard drive that ended in Chowns' third visit to the endzone on a five yard run.
Nixon-Smiley then responded with a 70 yard drive that concluded with an 11 yard touchdown connection from Jaime Moreno to Garrett Earlywine in the waning seconds of the first half.
The Bulldogs went into halftime holding a 20-6 advantage.
Late in the third quarter, senior Ty Brown soared up to pick off a Moreno pass. The turnover set a touchdown drive that ended in a one yard run by junior Chance Saenz.
Nixon – Smiley again countered with a 55 yard touchdown reception from Moreno to Damian Perez with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. The ball was well defended by Brown and was nearly picked off a second time.
Despite the big plays in the second and fourth quarters, the Bulldogs handled the Mustangs on the defensive side of the ball, limiting them to nine first downs and 210 total yards.
Palmer said it was one of the better defensive games that the team had played all year.
"I thought we tackled much better than we have," Palmer said. "We played physical, executed, and read our keys very well."
The Bulldogs will travel to Dilley Friday to take on the Wolves. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m.
"Dilley looks very good on offensive and defense, so we'll have our work cut out for us," Palmer said. "I think they are an excellent football team and they are 0-2 right now, so they have a lot of pressure to get a win."
"Each week the stakes get higher and higher, and this week is no different."

See definition in Oxford Advanced Learner's DictionaryDivisión en sílabas: thank·ful·ly
Pronunciación: /ˈTHaNGkfəlē/
Definición de thankfully en inglés:
1.1 [sentence adverb] Used to express pleasure or relief at the situation or outcome that one is reporting; fortunately: thankfully, everything went smoothly
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- The instruments had cost Benedict a fortune, but thankfully he was already a millionaire.
- Cake forks and serviettes were provided, thankfully not placed under the buttered teacake!
- It is so easy for it to happen, as we have seen here, but thankfully this case ended happily.
Thankfully has been used for centuries to mean 'in a thankful manner,' as in she accepted the offer thankfully. Since the 1960s, it has also been used as a sentence adverb to mean 'fortunately,' as in thankfully, we didn't have to wait. Although this use has not attracted the same amount of attention as hopefully, it has been criticized for the same reasons. It is, however, far more common now than is the traditional use. For further explanation, see hopefully (usage) and sentence adverb.

TIRUCHI: The recent spell of rain has set back the progress of runway expansion work at the Tiruchi airport.
With certain parts of the airport area being low lying, the project had to be stopped for a few days owing to water stagnation. Though airport sources said work had begun again they conceded that the temporary suspension would push back the completion date of the project.
The sources said the work would be completed by January, another time overrun of about two months.
The project was originally scheduled to be completed early this summer but suffered delays, owing to "slow pace" of the work.
Officials of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) had then assured that the work would positively be completed by November. The AAI, which is not very happy over the issue, is pulling all the stops to complete civil, electrical and other related works simultaneously.
The repeated time overrun suffered by the project has caused considerable consternation and exasperation among the members of the air travel industry here.
For, already a few air carriers, including Malaysia Airlines, are waiting in the wings to start operations from Tiruchi. The airlines had planned to start operations on the Tiruchi - Kuala Lumpur sector by this winter but had to defer the plan to the summer schedule of March 2006. Travel industry sources here said it was unlikely that the foreign carrier would be able to start operations by March given the uncertainty over the completion of the runway work. "It will be tough to ask the airlines to commence operations by March even if the runway expansion were to be completed by January," said a travel industry official.
Meanwhile, Indian Airlines, which is already operating to Sharjah and a few other Gulf destinations, is also stated to be close to firming up its plans of operating flights to Singapore and Dubai from here.
The national carrier is keen on tapping the enormous potential for direct flights on these routes projected by the travel trade. The introduction of additional flights would also provide direct daily two-way connection between Tiruchi and Chennai, for which the local industry has been clamouring for long.
"We would be losing out on some big business each passing month, especially in view of the fast pace of expansion activity at the Madurai airport, which could emerge as a serious competitor for Tiruchi soon," they said.

Favorite Quote
Having gone through all you wrote I am uniquely qualified to say that with this project you have managed to make a silk purse from a sow's ear.- Richard Tobin, Ph.D
"Jina Brenneman is an original, in the best sense of the word. She has remarkable vision, a vibrant imagination and an uncanny ability to turn unusual ideas into brilliant finished products. During her tenure as visual curator at the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center, the exhibitions that she has overseen have never failed to amaze, mesmerize and succeed on all levels."
Scott Smith
Life editor/writer
The Pueblo Chieftain
"For the past few years, the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center has been synonymous with beautiful, thought-provoking and surprising exhibits. But 'Southern Colorado's Beautiful Mind,' three stories of eye- and-mind-boggling exhibits opening today, sets a new standard for Pueblo's arts center."— Mark Arnest/The Gazette/2005-02/11
"Here's a lead I've written about five times before: 'The new shows at Pueblo's Sangre de Christo Arts Center are amazing and wonderful and not to be missed.' Might as well write the same opener here, because, once again, curator Jina Brenneman and her staff have achieved miracles."— John Hazlehurst/csindy/2004-11
"Thanks to the indefatigable Jina Brenneman, the museums fine arts curator, we've come to expect that any contemporary art show at the Sangre will be not just good, but superb. Over the last couple of years, the feisty arts center has hosted exhibitions better than anything in the Rocky Mountain region- better than Santa Fe, better than Colorado Springs, better than Denver."-John Hazlehurst/csindy/2004-06
"Brenneman has a genius for imaginative programming that challenges audiences without ever losing sight of the center's public mission."-Mark Arnest/Gazette
"Jina has an exemplary resume and importantly she is an individual who is reputed to be imaginative and have remarkable vision and bravado in developing exhibitions." Mary Puller, Director of Exhibtions, Durango Arts Center
"With curator Jina Brenneman leading the way, the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center has assembled several exhibitions in the past couple of years that have been ambitious and imaginative enough to lure visitors from as far away as Denver"— Kyle MacMillan/Denver Post/2003-5-30
" Sangre de Cristo Arts Center brings a masterpiece to Pueblo with a stroke of curatorial genius. This latest show at the SDC is also another fine example of how Jina Brenneman has reinvented the art of how to be a world-class small-museum curator"— Noel Black/csindy/2003-01-16
"This tour de force show, created by the center's visual-arts curator, JinaBrenneman, with help from numerous collectors, is sure to be the talk of Pueblo this summer."—Susan Froyd/ WestwordIssues/2005-06-09
"I'm delighted to report on must-see-art— this time the visual kind, at the Sangre de CristoArtCenter in Pueblo where Jina Brenneman and her fearless forces have assembled five new exhibitions."—David Sckolnik Artspeak-5-25-02

Srs Light Is On
2001 Honda Accord (Page 1 of 3)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2001 Honda Accord suffers from widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (SRS). We recommend avoiding this model year like the plague.
The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 100,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000. Transmission failure problems have been a huge problem for Honda Accords & other models all through the early 2000s model years. Honda eventually extended the transmission warranty to 93 months/109k miles for the 2000-2001 Accords as settlement for a class action lawsuit, but that period is over & owners of Accords with transmission problems are out of luck.
Subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel has become a problem recently, due to the poorly positioned A/C drain hose directly above that area. Repair cost to the subframe is over $2,000.
The SRS warning light likes to come on due to a defective seat belt sensor -- typically the driver's side. This sensor is covered under Honda's lifetime seat belt warranty, but some dealers charge a $100+ "diagnostic fee" or tell customers the entire SRS unit ($800) is bad. Also make sure your 2001 Accord has been checked for the airbag recall: excessive pressure may cause metal fragments during airbag deployment.

Erica Jean and Saigon seek help
After last week's nasty blowup over their son, Saigon decided the he really needed to apologize to Erica Jean for his behavior. He recalled that his father would always talk down about his mother and he wanted to break the cycle.
Once they were back on the same page, Saigon and Erica took their son to a psychologist to figure out why their son might not be developing his speech as quickly as other kids.
The meeting turned into a family therapy session that resolved some conflict resolution and communication issues between Erica and Saigon.

FRED STERNBURG, BANNER PROMOTIONS: Undefeated two-division world champion Ricky Hitman Hatton will be making his Las Vegas debut when he challenges undefeated IBF jr. welterweight champion Juan Iron Twin Urango on Saturday, January 20 at Paris Las Vegas. It will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing beginning at 9:45 p.m. East Coast time and at 6:45 p.m. West Coast time. Ricky is going to attempt to regain the title that he previously held before vacating it to win the WBA welterweight title. Ricky, its a pleasure to welcome you back to the States. Why were you so keen on fighting in Las Vegas and how are you enjoying it so far? ..
RICKY HATTON: All the great fighters fight all the top men in our weight divisions. So its just a pinnacle for a fighters career, especially a British fighter, to fight in Las Vegas, more so for the glitzy side of this. Its absolutely dream serious, a dream come true. Its the place to be and I know a lot of me fans have been waiting for this chance to see me fight in Vegas for a number of years now. So yeah, I mean Im very happy to be here, finally got it on and look forward to making a good performance.
FRED STERNBURG: Youre training at Wayne McCulloughs gym. Howd that come about and how, I know youve only been here a few days, but how is training in the desert going so far?
RICKY HATTON: Its going great. Waynes been a friend of mine for a number of years. A friend of mine came over about three weeks ago to check out the restaurants and the training facilities and the gym and the hotel and everything and obviously went and had a look at Waynes gym. And me being a friend of Waynes for some years, his gym is very, very private and nice. The gym is small, private and all the facilities that we need, so it was nice. All the facilities that we need are there and it was nice to see Wayne McCullough again. So, yeah, training has gone exceptionally well. Im really enjoying me stay. Its only been a couple of days but Im very much enjoying it.
FRED STERNBURG: We also have on the line Juan Urango. I know a lot of people dont know a lot about Juan except that hes an excellent fighter, a terrific world champion, with an outstanding undefeated record. Juan this is your first title defense. Can you tell us how camp is going and how do you feel about making your first world title defense against someone like Ricky Hatton?
JUAN URANGO (Translated): Weve been training hard for the past almost three months now that weve been in camp. Weve been working hard and were dedicated. Were looking forward to fighting Ricky Hatton. We want to thank you Ricky, and your team, and our promoter for giving us the opportunity to fight you, and were looking forward to that. .
CHUCK JOHNSON, USA TODAY: Ricky, how much did your bout against Luis Collazo have to do with your decision to move back to junior welterweight?
RICKY HATTON: Well, it funny really, I mean, I never really was to fight at welterweight in the first place. Like some fights Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is a prime example, he moved up to welterweight. The same with Miguel Cotto he had to move, he couldnt make the light welterweight division no more, but that wasnt the case with me. I was due to fight at junior welterweight. I mean there was a fight with Juan Lazcano. Juan hurt his hands seven or eight weeks before the fight. And we went searching around for obviously a suitable opponent and Luis Collazos name comes to the forefront and he was the world champion. I want the challenge or fighting for a world title in a new weight class more than anything. I never really had any intention or moving up to welterweight. It was only the position we got put in when we were looking around for suitable opponents and then when Luis Collazo was mentioned I quite liked the idea of becoming a two division world champion, but really I likely will fight as a junior welterweight. I wouldnt have changed it [fighting Colazzo] for the world, because it was a very entertaining fight, which Im sure my fans would have loved. Normally you have maybe two or three fights to adjust to a new weight division. I had seven or eight weeks to bulk up to the welterweight limit and fought the world champion straight away. He was a Speedy South Paw. Luis Collazo was a lot better fighter than what people gave him credit for actually. I think my preparation was a little on the rough side, because I wasnt used to fighting at welterweight and never wanted to fight at it in the first place. I wouldnt change it for the world but its great that Im in the weight division that I always wanted to be in now.
CHUCK JOHNSON: So did you learn anything about moving up to welterweight. Was there a difference? I mean Luis Collazo proved himself to be a tough fighter that night, that day. But did you learn anything about a difference between the weight divisions?
RICKY HATTON: Yeah, because theres strength and the size factor, but like I said earlier, there are some times you need two or three fights to give you time to bulk up and to grow into a weight division. I wasnt given that look through unfortunately. I think, Im not saying that Ive turned my back completely on the welterweight division, because I really want to compete at welterweight again. I would like to do it over a longer period of time when Im probably eased into the weight division. Now, it sounds, you know, I want easier fights in the weight division, but I think even Floyd Mayweather didnt fight the world champion on his first fight in welterweight and Im sure that he had more than seven weeks to prepare to do it really. I think if Id have given more time to grow into the weight division, I think I could get a lot better performance. But obviously, naturally, junior welterweight is my natural weight. Really, I think it was really a junior welterweight fighting a welterweight word champion really. So the achievement was a wonderful thing for me. And I think, Im a lot better than that performance and a lot of it has to do with size really. It was a junior welterweight versus a welterweight.
CHUCK JOHNSON: So what do you know about your opponent, Juan Urango?
RICKY HATTON: Hes a very good fighter. He had a good amateur pedigree. He comes to fight. Hes in your face all the time. Hes a good body puncher. Hes my kind of fighter. Hes the type of fighter that you would always put on the TV to watch because he goes for a knockout. Hes not going to take a backwards step which is very similar to me in many ways. His style is to make fights and this cant fail to be an exciting fight, because I dont take a step backward, neither does Juan Urango. Hes unbeaten. I know hes hungry and a lot of people say that theyve not heard too much about him. But also a lot of people were saying the same thing about me before I beat Kostya Tszyu so I dont look at it that way. I will have my hands full. Hes a very dangerous fighter. Hes a good puncher, good. Those are the fights you want to be involved in because it is a fight, style-wise, that the fans will hopefully walk away from the Paris Las Vegas and feel that they saw some good and exciting fighting, something special.
CHUCK JOHNSON: Id like ask Juan. So does he see this opportunity to fight Ricky Hatton as a kind of career breakthrough? I mean if he beats Ricky Hatton does he think this will really bring a surge in his career?
JUAN URANGO: (Translated): Most definitely it is an opportunity that, you know, that has come upon me. First and foremost, (inaudible) at now today and like any other world champion everybodys got opportunities to become the best by beating the best and I most definitely have those qualities to become that.
DAN RAFAEL, ESPN.com: Hey Ricky I wanted to ask you about the title situation in this fight. You were the junior welterweight world champion, you had The Ring (magazine) championship but you havent fought at the weight in a long time and you had won the welterweight belt against Collazo and Urango went and was able to win the title that you vacated and there are some people in boxing that say youre still the champion at junior welterweight because youre coming back to the position. Others would look at him as the title holder. Are you looking at this fight as a title defense of your junior welterweight championship or are you looking at it as Ive got to go back there and regain my title?
RICKY HATTON: No, Im looking at it as to go and regain my title. Obviously with Urango achieving a lifelong dream in becoming the world light welterweight champion, it would be very disrespectful for me to turn around and say that I consider myself the champion. I consider myself one of the best, pound for pound, in junior welterweight boxing and I think Im really putting that mantle on the line rather than saying that I am the light welterweight champion of the world. Although Ive never lost it in the ring, I mean I vacated it and (inaudible) Juan Urango without that Id be going in there with the same mind as a challenger. But hopefully my main aim is to keep climbing the pound for pound rankings. If Juan beats me that means he would take my pound for pound ranking. So I suppose that is the only thing that Im putting one line, my reputation of being a top pound for pounder. But I think Ive got to show Juan Urango the respect that he deserves. Hes the world champion and Im going in there as a challenger. Which pretty much is what Ive have to do the last couple of fights. It would be nice to hopefully win this title, and keep hold of it for maybe a couple of weeks. It would be nice to defend a title in my next fight rather than challenge for one.
DAN RAFAEL: Ricky, you do still have The Ring (magazine) title. How much stock do you put in that? I know you were very excited and very pleased to receive that when you were first presented it.
RICKY HATTON: Yeah. The Ring belt -- theres so many versions of titles nowadays and different rankings -- and I think The Ring is the one that everybody respects and everybody acknowledges as the number one -- and most people regard it as the number one title of the division. But at the end of the day, you know my last fight was at welterweight. I havent fought at junior welterweight for a while, so Ive got to really look at this as a challenging one for each title. I still do have The Ring belt but I will only feel that Im The Ring champion when Ive beaten Juan Urango.
DAN RAFAEL: Obviously everybody knows that José Luis Castillo is on the undercard of the fight against Herman Ngoudjo, and Im wondering is it at all difficult to focus on the fact that you have a tough guy like Urango in front of you when everybody knows that if you and José are both successful in your fights, that the obvious situation is going to be that the two of you fight each other in what would be a much bigger fight down the road?
RICKY HATTON: No, I really only got one person on my mind at the minute. I dont want to look past Juan Urango; though I do look forward to the fight with Castillo. d love that fight, so would Jose Luis Castillo. Thats a super fight, a dream fight and knowing that that is in the distance gives me actually incentive to get past Urango, really. You know I use that fight as not taking my eye off of the ball type thing. But I use it as more as an incentive to come through this one. But theres only one thing on my mind. Juan Urango is a real handful. Hes very, very strong. Hes a big decent puncher. He has a good amateur pedigree. Hes got good boxing skills as well, he comes to fight and theres no other opponent, as dangerous as Juan. If youre not on your game, youll get beat. So Im 100 percent focused on my opponent. Ive watched the tapes of him numerous times and I have a visual on how the fight will go. Ill attack him, Ill body punch him, Ill utilize my all-action style, but I have a decent boxing brain as well and after watching the tapes I think Ive worked Urango out pretty good in my mind and now Ive just got to go and put it into practice.
DAN RAFAEL: Juan, can you talk about that? Ricky just mentioned about not looking ahead to the Castillo fight. Im wondering if it is at all in any way motivation for you to know that by winning you would really disrupt what many people are viewing as a major fight later this year between him and Castillo?
JUAN URANGO (Translated): Yes As a professional boxer, I do my work. Its not only about looking forward. Its looking at whats in front of me. Its not about looking at what the opportunities are coming after fighting Ricky Hatton or not, its fighting the one in front, Ricky Hatton, and its about being a professional, the boxing of a good boxing boxer, its about training hard. Its about earning the respect and acknowledging the admiration from the fans and from the world.
FRANKLIN MCNEIL, STAR-LEDGER: Ricky, you mentioned in the past Floyd Mayweather, Junior as a possible opponent, but now youre back at junior welterweight. Is that fight out of the picture as of this time?
RICKY HATTON: Yeah as of this time. Floyd is considered by most as the pound for pound fighter in the world so obviously someone like that is never off your radar. But hes got a big fight with Oscar coming up, a fight at junior middleweight. Also there are a lot of rumors that this may be Floyds last fight. Obviously Ive got to keep hoping that that fight is the last one.
I have no problem with fighting up at welterweight again. But the only fight Ill probably look at that might tempt to me to welterweight would be certainly Floyd Mayweather, maybe Miguel Cotto. Im not soon to be back on the welterweight division even though Ive made back down to junior welterweight its just I felt like the last time my opponent, I was due to fight at light welter my opponent pulled out injured and seven to eight weeks before I had seven weeks to grow into a different weight division, which is quite hard, quite tough. I think I could be a better force at welterweight if Id given a little bit more time maybe two or three fights to grow into the weight division. But I wasnt given that luxury against Collazo. But no, that fight is still a fight still on me radar. Even though it would be at welterweight, I would still consider moving up to welterweight if we had a little bit more time to prepare accordingly. But I am a natural junior welterweight. Ill prove that when I the ten-stone mark on the 19th of January. But its all about putting yourself in the shop window. I have got to put on an exciting performance against Juan Urango. Hopefully win my title back which Im confident that I can do, and hopefully lead to a fight against José Castillo and then if Floyd is still fighting, if he chooses not to retire then that would another fight Id love. Its a fight Ive always wanted but when people were asking me not so long back do you want to fight Floyd Mayweather. What about the Floyd Mayweather fight? For the last two years Ive been a terrible court rambling procedure with my former promoter and I switched promotional camps. I signed a deal with HBO. I think that it would be very foolish with so many things going on outside the ring, like signing a deal with HBO, fighting Mayweather straight from the outset, really. I think that would have been what a foolish move with everything that was going on outside of the ring. Obviously you want to get to America first. Have a few fights, feel your feet and then hopefully get the court things out of the way, with my former promoter, which obviously we have been now, and things look more to us. It was just bad timing. But hopefully I can win these next two fights, which obviously is no foregone conclusion, then if Floyd is out and about I would like to think that I could insist on that fight, yeah.
FRANKLIN MCNEIL: I know youve got to fight Urango and Castillo being your next potential opponent. Do you have any plans should you regain your title? Do you have any plans of unifying the titles in the division?
RICKY HATTON: Thats always an option. There are some good fighters in the junior welterweight division. But Im not really bothered about what weight division exactly. I mean Im bothered about fighting the big names. This is my tenth year as a pro, Ive had 41 fights and although I feel Im at me best and Im right at me prime because Ive had so many fights and its my tenth year as a pro Im looking at maybe three years, two to three years on the outside when I would like to retire. So really its the most meaningful fights out there and if that means unification fights at junior welterweight or moving up to welterweight, then those are the fights that I want. But obviously if I do move up to welterweight I just need more time to prepare. I was given the seven, eight week period to grow into a higher weight division and I fought the world champion straight away.
He has a tricky southpaw. So it wasnt ideal preparation. I think if I do fight welterweight again it would only be for two names, probably Miguel Cotto or Floyd Mayweather and Id just like a little bit more time to grow into that weight division as opposed to seven weeks which I had last time. But I am open to all options. There will be some great fights out there in both weight divisions so well have to see.
FRANKLIN MCNEIL: Juan this is your first title defense and everyone is going to be seeing this HBO. Can you tell me, I havent seen you before so I admit my ignorance, what do you bring to the table, tell me why you are going to win this fight? Is it going to be a straight ahead type fight?
JUAN URANGO: (Translation) I am recognized as a good boxer, as a good power puncher, as a good athlete, and Im natural. And everything that I have is not mine, its up above, Gods. Im very disciplined and Im doing this make it successful to dedicate it to my country Colombia and to the whole world.
FRANKLIN MCNEIL: Theres been a lot of talk about as far as Ricky winning, should Ricky win hell be fighting Castillo. Do you feel insulted at all that theres already talk about a Castillo/Ricky Hatton fight?
JUAN URANGO: (Translation) Im a very practical type of person. I understand, and there is no need for me to take anything personal or hold anything against anybody. Im a professional. Im disciplined. Im not an ordinary boxer. Ive got knowledge. So Im not going to talk about other people and negotiate out a contract and fight everybody else, but at the end of the day, it is what it is and on January 20, the one who is going to be fighting Ricky Hatton is going to be Juan Urango.
RICKY HATTON: Yeah, I can just put him on. Just one second.
PATRICK KEHOE, THESWEETSCIENCE.com: This is for Billy Graham. I just had a quick question about Rickys arm or the injury, even the issue of a little bit of loss of sparring time. Hows that going?
BILLY GRAHAM: The injury was completely blown up out of proportion. The arm was just a little twinge at the beginning of camp. He goes to his physio on a regular basis all the time just for massage to treat the usual various training tenderness.
PATRICK KEHOE: The other question I want to ask you is at age 27, 28, 29 sometimes for some fighters are when some pros start transitioning and stop doing as much sparring in terms of what they might have done when they were 20, 21, 22. Are you encouraging that or how are you and Ricky looking at that right now?
BILLY GRAHAM: Me and Ricky, and all of my fighters I spend a long time but theyve always done about the same amount of sparring as they do now. It hasnt changed whatsoever. No, that hasnt changed at all. The way we train, has always been the same. Weve added more things like, you know more modern things like weight training and stuff like that, but as for his boxing training, no. It hasnt changed at all.
PATRICK KEHOE: Ricky, a quick question on how youre dealing with the weight transition and the maintenance of your weight. Youve always been known as a really high energy, really hard training guy. Are you sort of doing that or are you trying to temper in more diet, more sophisticated diets or how are you looking at it these days?
RICKY HATTON: Obviously I am very, very big for junior welterweight which obviously that goes without saying with obviously by winning the world title at welterweight, but I mean its never been, what I would say, easy for me to meet 140, but I have a great team around me. I have a fantastic nutritionist in Kerry Kayes but a very long training camp because unfortunately I only had one fight last year which obviously I normally would like more than that. Id like to have at least two maybe three fights, but because of TV dates being put backwards and stuff like that I only had one fight last year. So Id had plenty of time to recharge the batteries because I give myself a long training camp. Ive been about 13 or 14 weeks in camp for this one. So Ive been able to do, bring the weight down gradually, bring it down correctly, and no, I mean what happened (inaudible) is that I only had one fight in the welterweight division and there was only basically, that was only because of a change in opponent that I had to. I was due to fight at junior welterweight and the opponent got injured, (inaudible) to welterweight. So I only had a seven week period to bulk up if you like. It would have been a lot more difficult for me if I had maybe three fights at welterweight and then decided to move back down. I think that would have made it a damn sight more difficult. But I mean, like I said the seven or eight week period in which I had to bulk up, so probably its not as hard as many people would expect. If you think about it logically, that makes sense. I only had seven weeks to bulk up to welterweight. So if I had been fight at welterweight for maybe a two-year period or something like that, than it would have been a lot, lot harder I think to get back down. But no, its not easy, but not a struggle either. I just have to be really careful not to cut any corners in me diet. But yeah, I still get the same volume of punches, you know, high tempo. You can (inaudible) the same that everyones used to. I dont think that moving back down to weight is going to deteriorate from the punch resistance, my punch volume or work rate, my conditioning. I dont think it will detract in the slightest.
BRIAN WOLNOUGH, DAILY STAR (UK): How conscious are you of the Americans wanting to see the real Ricky Hatton with you putting on a show from what theyve seen on television, you know, the all-action style that you have? How conscious are you of wanting or you needing that kind of performance?
RICKY HATTON: Yeah, I think I dont fight like a typical British fighter. My style is probably more towards more of a Mexican type style fighter or an American style fighter and I think with a fight against Kostya Tszyu, me fight with Carlos Maussa and even me fight against Luis Collazo, you know theyre all wonderful fights to watch, usually very exciting and I think thats why my reputation is really big over there. And it is, baring that I have only topped the bill once in the United States, still high and I think thats down to my style of fighting. I cant help thinking this fight will be an exciting fight as well. I mean weve got the right opponent to make it really something special. Im expecting some fireworks, some real fireworks. I mean neith of us will be taking a backwards step. Well each be taking a big punch to give a big punch and go for the knockout. I certainly dont think anybody on January 20th will be falling asleep. I mean the fans are on the edge of their seats at a Ricky Hatton fight anyway, but bear in mind how exciting it will be to watch my opponent go toe-to-toe with me. I think the fans are in for a winner. And that means a lot to me. You know I dont want anybody to go away from a Ricky Hatton fight and saying that sent us to sleep or that was a load of crap. I want them to come away and feel like they witnessed something special and Im always in good fights. Juan Urango has a style that is always in a good fight so it cant help but be a fantastic fight. I hope they come out to the occasion. Well be in Vegas and everything.
BRIAN WOLNOUGH: Thats probably why more than 3000 of your fans are coming over to watch.
RICKY HATTON: Yeah, thats right. I mean. I heard that theres going to be about 3000 Brits coming over, 3000 British fans which is absolutely fantastic. I mean with all the British fans you already get wonderful support whenever they box you know, people like Frank Bruno, Nassim Hamed, Nigel Benn, and Lennox Lewis boxed over in the United States before, you know they always get fantastic support. And I think now it looks like its going to be the same. I mean 3000 Brits. Just a couple of weeks after Christmas and New Year is actually very exceptional. But I think its because of how much they hold me in high regard for my fighting style. I think also they like me for who I am. They feel Im a genuine down to earth guy that always plugs Manchester to fly the flag type thing. So, yeah, hopefully it will be a great night, not only for me but for British boxing in general. Its my third consecutive fight that which I have challenged for a different world title. In fact its the fourth one actually. I beat Tszyu, I beat Maussa, I beat Collazo, and if I could beat Urango that would be four titles. Im not defending; Im taking the belts off champions so it would be a huge win for me and a huge achievement.

Fantastic sustained climbing on tufa blobs and flowstone - reminiscent of Kalymnos. Shares the same first couple of bolts with DS then take the left of the two ringbolted routes. This is a full 30m pitch, with a 60m rope you will only JUST make it to the belay. WARNING - the clip-and-go lower-off anchor should NOT be trusted - its a dodgy chinese snap-and-die that may break at 100kg. Back it up by threading direct through the mallions.

In April, it's all about the vegetation. So, we found some really dope planters to help you show off those pretty flowers. Haven't got any flowers? Read on to learn what to plant this month.
CB2 galvanized planters (starting at $14.95) http://www.cb2.com
We loved the futuristic look of these metal boxes. A bright, colorful flower like the Iceland Poppy would look amazing juxtaposed against the stark silver. These poppies are best planted in early spring, so take advantage of April's still-cool temperatures.
Planter, tangerine ($70, Etsy)
This clay planter is handthrown on the artist's pottery wheel, and therefore completely unique. The tangerine color is the perfect compliment to the citrus colors of a gladiola flower.
Target Paris Planter ($39.99)
Choose from two equally vibrant shades of blue with these pretty planters. Lamb mint's fuzzy, green leaves would look nice sticking out of this container.
Velocity Campy Planters ($72)
These adorable containers come in ultra-cute, mix and match colors, like mint green with cream or teal blue with ocean blue. A pretty, yellow Appleblossom Dahlia would be a great addition to this planter.
What are you looking forward to planting this month?
