First a baseline. This is what I think prior to doing exercise. I think an 82 game Souray is worth about 3 million. He's a #4-5 who can play both special teams. I think Souray is actually worth more like 2 million. Under that actually. Basically he misses some 30 games a year, meaning you should pay him 5/8 of what he should command while healthy.
Now on to the comparables game. Basically if player X is worth the salary they got Y, then how much should a healthy Souray be worth. My answers that follow are not necessarily done with a lot of research, just based off my general views of the player.
If Allen is worth 3.5, then healthy Souray is worth 3
If Beauchemin is worth 3.5, then healthy Souray is worth 2.5
If Carle is worth 5.5, then healthy Souray is worth 4.5
If Suter is worth 7.5, then healthy Souray is worth 2.5
If Salvador is worth 3.2, then healthy Souray is worth 2.8
If Brookbank is worth 1.2, then healthy Souray is worth 2.7
If Garrison is worth 4.6, then healthy Souray is worth 3.6
If Salo is worth 3.8, then healthy Souray is worth 3.5
If Aucoin is worth 2.3, then healthy Souray is worth 3.2
If Kuba is worth 4.0, then healthy Souray is worth 3.7
I think what this exercise showed me is that I still think Souray is overpaid, but probably not by as much as I originally thought (if you assume he will be completely healthy). This UFA crop seems to be a little crazy, and his price tag isn't too out of line with the other guys. OTH, I still do not like the "if healthy" assumption and I really think we will be paying for it. If he retires, then the 35+ part doesn't matter. But if he still plays the seasons and goes on IR, then we are in trouble because we still pay his salary, we need to pay a replacement, and the team is still a budget team.
I'd be curious to see other people's valuations of the various players. For these or any other guys.
Beauchemin is on a discount.
Carle is overpayed.
I disagree with Suter. I think he is payed the right amount but 2.5 is too little for Souray.
Souray at 3.6 is not that overpayed. The 3 years is what pisses me off.

While his career has never reached the heights of his famous brother Michael, David Hussey has been a solid performer for Australia in limited overs cricket and Victoria in all three forms of the game.
Like his brother, Hussey was forced to pile on the runs in state and county cricket for years before he was finally handed his international debut, a T20 against India in 2008.
His first taste of international cricket came five years after his debut with Victoria, despite regularly averaging over 50 for the Bushrangers and county side Nottinghamshire.
It wasn't until he passed the 1000-run mark in the 2007-08 season that Hussey earned his first Cricket Australia contract and became a semi-regular feature in Australia's ODI and T20 sides.
He scored his maiden ODI century against Scotland in 2009, which came hot on the heels of by a brutal 88 from 44 balls in a Twenty20 against South Africa. Despite topping the Sheffield Shield run tally with 970 at 57.05 in 2009-10, including a century in the final, Hussey lost his national contract soon afterwards and has only played sporadically for his country since.

ASOCS teams with China Mobile on Cloud-RAN networks
Feb 27, 2013 (Globes - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- ASOCS Ltd., a Silicon IP provider of software defined radio solutions and CMRI, Research Institute of China Mobile (CMCC) Ltd. (NYSE: CHL; HKEX: 0941), the world's largest mobile operator, have signed a strategic memorandum of understanding for the joint development, commercialization, testing and deployment of large-scale baseband processing units for China Mobile's next generation Cloud-RAN network.
Earlier trials undertaken by leading mobile operators, identified the bottleneck of Centralized Base-band Units, consisting of general purpose CPU, to perform major baseband calculations in cost and power efficient management. The solution was to introduce significant offloading capabilities of such calculations with highly specialized Modem Processing Units (MPU).
Today there is a growing understanding in the industry that such MPU should support a wide range of system partitioning, topologies and real time system performance, including large scale Collaborative Multi-point communications (COMP) and massive MIMO. Since communication algorithms are evolving over time, and since the C-RAN concept provisions on-the-fly reconfiguration of the BBU to support a variety of mobile communication standards, an MPU solution which is re-configurable at runtime has a great advantage over traditional hard-wired designs.
ASOCS Software Defined Radio (SDR) based ModemX architecture undertakes this task, allowing for optimal CPU-MPU partitioning while offering a cost- and power-efficient solution, coupled with massive processing capacity.
CMRI chief scientist Dr. Chihlin I said, "C-RAN is the green radio access network initiated by China Mobile with the aim of large capacity, low cost and high power efficiency. We believe that by collaborating with ASOCS, Network Equipment Vendors will be able to accelerate and optimize their development of high capacity Cloud Ran systems. The goal of CMRI is to realize C-RAN by closely co-operating with key stakeholders in the industry." ASOCS CEO Gilad Garon said, "ASOCS is pleased to take part in the development of a crucial element in the C-RAN overall solution by closely collaborating with CMRI. ASOCS Silicon IP Modem Processing Unit (MPU), implemented on our Software Defined Radio platform is ideally suited for massive processing of baseband pool of any current and future cellular technology and is yet more proof of ASOCS' long-term strategy based on its groundbreaking ModemX technology." ASOCS was founded in 2003 by Garon and is headquartered in Rosh Ha'ayin. The deal with China Telecom could be worth tens of millions of dollars for the Israeli company.

Location: Antarctica
Destination: More Antarctic Cruises
Starting at: $0
A true Discovery voyage including the southern Antarctic Peninsula, the rarely visited volcanic Peter I Island. Visit the outer fringes of the pack-ice in the Amundsen sea, Roald Amundsen's starting point where he finally reached the South Pole in 1911, sailing voyage in the Ross sea, the huts of British explorers Ernest Shackleton and Robert Falcon Scott, Mc Murdo Station, the Dry Valleys and Macquarie Island. (No Single Supplement available for these tours.)Contact us about this trip Share
Enlarge Slideshow
Expedition Ships
Capacity: 106
Please note: The interary below is for the January 9, 2015 departure. The itinerary for the February 11, 2015 departure operates in reverse order.
In the afternoon, we embark in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world located at the Beagle Channel and sail through this scenic waterway for the rest of the evening. The February 11th Voyage starts in Bluff, New Zealand and offers the same itinerary as described hereunder, but in reverse.
At sea.
We arrive in the Antarctic Peninsula and sail in the early morning through the spectacular Lemaire Channel and land on Pléneau Island, where Elephant Seals haul-out on the beaches. Gentoo Penguins, Kelp Gulls and South Polar Skuas are confirmed breeders. Pléneau Island was first charted by the French Antarctic Expedition of 1903–05 of Jean-Baptiste Charcot and was named after his expedition's photographer Paul Pléneau. We will also visit Petermann Island with colonies of Adélie and Gentoo Penguins and Imperial Cormorants (Blue-eyed Shags). Petermann Island was named after the German geographer August Petermann who was a member of a German Expedition in 1873–74.
Sailing south through the Penola Strait, we cross the Polar Circle and arrive at the Fish Islands. The small islands lying east of Flouder Island are called the Minnows, first charted by the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–37) of John Rymill. Detaille Island was discovered by the French expedition of Charcot (1903–05) and named for a share holder in the Magellan Whaling Company. From 1956 till 1959, The British Antarctic Survey had their "Station W" located on Detaille Island. On both locations we may observe Adélie Penguins and Blue-eyed Shags.
Bellingshausen Sea, where we may see our first pack-ice.
Peter I Island or in Norwegian Peter I Øy is an uninhabited volcanic island (19 kilometres long ) in the Bellingshausen Sea. It was discovered by Fabian von Bellingshausen in 1821 and was named after the Russian Tsar Peter I. It is claimed by Norway and considered a territory by its own. It is sporadically visited by passenger vessels. On earlier landings groups of Elephant Seals and colonies of Southern Fulmars and Cape Pigeons were seen.
These days we sail through the Amundsen Sea along and through the outer fringes of the pack-ice, which—depending on ice-conditions—will give us glimpses of the Antarctic Continent, while we take advantage of the west-going Antarctic coastal current. The sailing along and through the ice is very lively, with sightings of single straggling Emperor Penguins, groups of seals on ice-floes, and also Orca's and Minke Whales along the ice-edge, often accompanied by different species of fulmar petrels. If the sea-ice allows, we will try to land on Shephard Island in Marie Byrd Land among colonies of Chinstrap Penguins and South Polar Skua's. Shephard Island was discovered by the US Antarctic Expeditions (USAS) of 1939–41 and was named after one of the promoters of this expedition: John Shephard.
We approach the Ross Ice Shelf, a floating mass of land-ice, with a front of 30 meters high. We intend to offer a helicopter landing on the Ross Ice Shelf. In the Bay of Whales at the eastern side of the shelf, close to Roosevelt Island (named by the American aviator Richard E. Byrd in 1934 for President Franklin D. Roosevelt), Roald Amundsen gained access to the Shelf and ventured to the South Pole, where he finally arrived on 14 December 1911. For us it is perhaps a chance to climb on the shelf as well.
Along the Ross Ice Shelf we sail to the west.
In the Ross Sea we intend to visit Ross Island, guarded by Mount Erebus, Mount Terror and Mount Bird with all the famous spots which played such an important role in the dramatic British expeditions of the last century such as Cape Royds with the cabin of Ernest Shackleton. We also intend to visit Cape Evans with the cabin of Robert Falcon Scott; from Hut Point Scott and his men set out for the South Pole. We will further make attempts to visit the US-station McMurdo and Scott Base (New Zealand). If ice and weather conditions are favourable, we will use the helicopters to offer landings. From Castle Rock we will have a great view across the Ross Ice Shelf toward the South Pole. We will have a view into Taylor Valley, one of the Dry Valleys, where on our planet you are closest to the conditions on Mars. For the Dry Valleys we plan to use our helicopters. This is just one example of helicopter use during this epic voyage.
Sailing northward along the eastern west coast of the Ross Sea ,we pass by the Drygalski Ice Tongue and the Italian Station in Terra Nova Bay and further cape Hallet.
Cape Adare is the place where people for the very first time wintered on the Antarctic Continent. The hut where the Norwegian Borchgrevink stayed in 1899, is surrounded by the largest colony of Adélie Penguins in the World.
At sea, working our way through the sea-ice at the entrance of the Ross Sea.
We sail along Scott Island.
At sea.
Campbell Island is a sub-Antarctic New Zealand Reserve and an Unesco World Heritage Site, with a luxuriant and blooming vegetation. The fauna on Campbell Island is fantastic with a large and easily accessible colony of Southern Royal Albatrosses on the main island and breeding Wandering, Campbell, Greyheaded, Blackbrowed, and Lightmantled Sooty Albatrosses on the satellite islands. Also three penguin species, Eastern Rockhopper, Erect-Crested and Yellow-Eyed Penguins breed here. In the 18th century seals were hunted to extinction, but Elephant Seals, Fur Seals and Sea Lions have recovered.
At sea.
We arrive in Bluff (New Zealand) where passengers depart for their homebound journey. The February 11, 2015 departure ends in Ushuaia, Argentina and starts in Bluff, New Zeland and offers the same itinerary as described above, but in reverse.
Special note: crossing the Date Line:
Both voyages have a total duration of 31 nights/32 days. However, looking at the starting and ending dates of the voyages, it would, at first, appear that one is 32 nights and the other is 30 nights. This is explained by the fact that we cross the International Date Line at 180 degrees longitude.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the nature of expedition cruising, itineraries are subject to change due to weather, ice conditions, natural and cultural events, wildlife viewing opportunities and other logistical considerations. In general, a ship's crew will endeavor to complete the itinerary provided, but the ultimate decision lies with the ship's captain and expedition leaders.

I do, it nicely saves me the trouble of needing to think up answers :)
I can see the "point" ...but if I see two people in a restaurant sitting in silence.. it makes my skin crawl.. NEVER WANT TO BE THAT COUPLE.....soooo... If they guys not talking... guess what.. I take it upon myself to be jabberjaws...You want us to shut our pie holes...do some talking... muah!
If you don't listen.
I like to talk too, so it doesn't bother me at all.
I think the real question here is how much is too much? Obviously no one likes someone who talks too much as that's what the term 'too much' sorta implies.
Only a deaf man. Lol
if its interesting maybe or a funny play
I'm patient, I have no problem with people who supposiedly "talk too much."
Noone like the person that does not know when to shut up, be they male or female. And we all know these people, those that if they stopped talking the argument would be over. But they continue and make things worse.
then if you just like to ramble on, most of us men know how to tone that out rather well. lol.
Some men do but most hate it
Oh shush. :P

U.S. Anti-Semitism at Record Low, Says ADL
But that doesn't mean we can stop being vigilant!
The Anti-Defamation League released the results of its annual poll on anti-Semitism in the United States this morning, and the news is, as one might say, good for the Jews. The organization's pollsters report that only 12 percent of Americans are prejudiced against Jews, a figure that matches the ADL's previous record low, set in 1998. (When the group first started conducting its polls, which determine levels of anti-Semitism based on people's propensity to agree with ideas like "Jews have too much power in the U.S. today," it determined 29 percent of Americans didn't like Jews.)
But what's good for the Jews isn't necessarily good for the ADL, which exists primarily to combat anti-Semitism. Accordingly, the group's website is currently advertising the results of the poll under the banner "Anti-Semitism Still a Factor in U.S." In a statement on the site, executive director Abraham Foxman reminds everyone that positive news is no excuse for relaxing vigilance: "We can't dismiss that 12 percent of the American people means that there are still over 30 million Americans that hold anti-Semitic views."

Here's What Would Actually Happen If Rand Paul Eliminated The Department Of Education
"I don't think you'd notice if the whole department was gone tomorrow," Rand Paul said of the U.S. Department of Education at a University of Chicago Institute of Politics panel last year. The Kentucky senator has been saying this for years, but he isn't the only one. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry have also said the department of education is "nonessential" or worth scrapping completely.
But what would happen if indeed, there was no Department of Education?
The department as we know it now, a cabinet-level agency, was created by the Department of Education Organization Act, which President Jimmy Carter signed into law in 1979. The department officially opened in 1980 and started with an annual budget of $12 billion. Prior to the law, the department of education changed its name several times since its creation in 1867.More ...

Visit this place and you will learn what lack of class really means. A terrible reputation locally. Dirty toilets and unfriendly regulars with a mass of smokers thronging the entrance make this about the least welcoming establishment in the town.
Told it wasn't very nice here but we liked it and the drink is really cheap, music was good and the people were friendly

There are different
of pure Eastern (knuckle on top) depending on the position of the
heel pad
of the palm.
The "classic"/"textbook" Eastern has the heelpad on the top bevel. This creates the "steak knife" or "pistol" grip.
The Eastern that pros use (including Federer) puts the heelpad somewhere on bevel 8 or even closer to 7, which is more
the handle. This makes the grip play "extreme" even though the index knuckle is in the same spot. This is called a "hammer" grip by some.
Try this: Put on a normal Eastern grip. Now roll the heel of your palm down (behind the handle) as far as it can go while keeping your index knuckle on top. This will make your all your knuckles line up on the top bevel. Now go hit some balls. It should feel pretty damn extreme, right? That's because it
more extreme even though it is still technically called "Eastern." So I would have no qualms about calling this grip "extreme."
The heelpad is probably more important than the index knuckle in determining how extreme a grip plays. I'm pretty sure Gasquet has his heel down further than Federer.
So a player can change the nature of his Eastern grip simply by changing the heel pad and keeping the index knuckle in the same place. i.e., he can make it more "extreme" even though it is technically still "Eastern".
FYI, in the past they used to have different names for grip depending on where the heelpad was. For some reason, the system became simplified to only looking at the index knuckle. This was a bad overrsimplification.

The story regarding Dr. Kermit Gosnell, a Philadelphia late-term abortionist on trial for the murder of seven babies and a woman, is undoubtedly deeply troubling for even the most staunch pro-choice supporters [April 14, op-ed, "Gruesome Abortion Mill A Place Of Last Resort"].
It is unimaginable that anyone with a moral conscience can kill a baby outside the mother's womb. If civilized people can agree that terminating a baby outside the womb is morally objectionable, then why would anyone support a law that makes it legal to terminate a baby within the womb?

Rondo helping Hudson improve defense
|11.21.09 at 3:33 pm ET
WALTHAM ' With the Celtics departing for New York in less than an hour, it was nearly impossible to pull Rajon Rondo and Lester Hudson off the court.
The two point guards were in the midst of an intense post-practice drill and neither wanted to stop. Rondo drove, pulled up for shots, and tried to shake Hudson on the way to the basket. Hudson buckled down and tried to stay one step ahead of him.
'I just play defense and he's on offense the whole time,' Hudson explained.
The drill, while competitive, was friendly in nature — 'Me and Lester are pretty close. I like Les,' said Rondo. They decided some extra practice time would help Hudson improve on defense and Rondo was happy to help him out.
'[I've learned] you've got to be ready,' said Hudson. 'There are multiple pick-and-rolls in practice. Just he's very quick so he's going to help me out guarding quicker guards in the NBA, so hopefully I can get my defense right.'
Rondo participated in similar drills as a rookie against Sebastian Telfair and Delonte West and knows the benefits of additional time on the court. It is especially valuable for Hudson, who has clocked just 37 minutes so far in his first season.
'He can play D, he's long, he's athletic, he's quick,' Rondo said of Hudson. 'He's going to be a great player in the league one day. He's young, he's just trying to learn the way and try to find his way on the team.'
Hudson also learned about Rondo's game as well. Rondo is shooting 55.9% from the field this season, the second best percentage among all guards behind Chris Paul, but his offense has been criticized in the past.
'He can shoot better than I thought he could. He's very quick, so it helps me on my defense. I'm trying to get my defense up,' Hudson said. 'He can shoot from the three. In one-on-ones he's been hitting, so I think he can shoot it. He just has to shoot the ball.'
Neither player keeps score in this drill. It just comes down to shots and stops.
Said Hudson, 'We just go til we say we're done.'

Upbringing for men has to be different and we have to stop stereotyping women, says Kishwar Desa
Kishwar Desai has no qualms about expressing her ideology. "I don't think there is anything wrong in calling myself a feminist, even my husband (economist and politician Lord Meghnad Desai) calls himself one," she says, adding, "Anyone who believes in equality between men and women is a feminist. And all of us should be feminist in that sense. We all need to fight for equal rights for men and women."
Kishwar, a former journalist, certainly lives by what she professes. Her award-winning series of novels deals largely with gender issues including rape, female infanticide and surrogacy in India. According to Kishwar, "My books are always based on real situations. I am trying to make a change through my novel. All these books are written with great anger. Each time I pick up these issues, like any other woman in India, I get extremely angry. We are sitting on a time bomb. There is increasing sexual and gender violence and women are becoming more and more marginalised in India. "
She believes that the gender imbalance in Indian society is a function of several socio-economic factors prevalent in it. "There is a high level of frustration in Indian society and the violence increases because of that.
The problem cannot be solved just by saying that there has to be proper laws. There also needs to be proper implementation of these laws.
Also, some sort of social conditioning has to take place and that is unfortunately not happening. We simply do not have the set-up to deal with the kind of psychological and social messages that need to go out." She firmly believes that the message can be communicated through portals such as art, cinema, literature and media, "I think it is the duty of all creative people to address these issues," she says.
However, she bemoans the stereotypes created by popular culture that ends up creating pigeonholing women into distinct categories, "Many of these feel good films make women marginal to the stories. For instance, the good girl gets the man, the bad girl doesn't. But then again what is a good girl, what is a bad girl. Just because a woman drinks and smokes and has multiple partners, doesn't mean she is bad."
Simran Singh, the protagonist of her series, goes about firmly dispelling these notions. She smokes, she drinks, she has multiple partners yet she is also a social worker-cum-amateur detective who relentlessly serves the cause of justice and makes a difference.
And that makes her a heroine material as far as Kishwar is concerned, "I choose a female protagonist who is very different from a normal one, so that by her own character she brings in a certain change."
Talking about her latest part of the series, Sea of Innocence which has been released recently, she says, "My book deals with rape and sexual violence and my protagonist is trying to solve a gang rape that happens in Goa. It is based on research that I had done of rape cases that have taken place in India and gone unsolved. There are similarities in most rape cases in India." In addition to her Simran Singh series she has also written a biography titled Darlingji: The True Love Story of Nargis and Sunil Dutt. Talking about it, she says, "My husband wanted to write a book on Nargis and we started writing it together. We then realized that one couldn't write on Nargis, without writing about Sunil Dutt.
Then my husband got busy so I ended up writing the book myself. It is essentially a story of mobility in India, Hindu-Muslim love and how a family can survive and do well for themselves. I simply loved it."
She is currently working on another biography, one of the actor Devika Rani which is slotted for release early next year. And though the collaboration with her husband on the book didn't really happen, Kishwar admits that he is her biggest supporter when it comes to her writing, "He is so positive about everything and his attitude, encouraging. As a writer himself, he understands completely what I am going through and we help each other. We read each other's work and give feedback. I think the most important thing is that he is a pillar of strength—as a writer and also as a woman, I need that."
Keywords: Kishwar Desai, gender issues, rape, female infanticide, surrogacy, gender imbalance

Originally written on Patriots Life | Last updated 11/17/14
So yesterday a reporter brought up the topic of SpyGate to Logan Mankins. It didn't turn out so well.. ESPN: ...The straight-shooting Mankins gave a dose of his honest personality to a national reporter who asked if "Spygate" comments, like those from Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendan Ayanbadejo on Twitter earlier this week, still get Mankins fired up. "Nah, that was a long time ago," brushed off Mankins. The reporter kept digging, asking if the reference "got under his skin at all." "No, but you are," Mankins retorted, smiling. Now without seeing a video of this we don't really know if he was joking or not. I'm willing to bet he was. Still, I have no doubt that if this conversation went on longer, was in a private setting, and the guy wasn't a member of the media surrounded by other members of the media, Logan Mankins would beat the crap out of this guy. Mankins is one tough dude. Did you know he owns a ranch that's completely self-sufficient? That's a smart decision...

SATURDAY, June 23 (HealthDay News) -- For those who need help getting pregnant, the thought of having a child who's a little shorter than other kids probably won't be much of a worry. But the question of whether infertility treatment causes unanticipated consequences remains fertile ground for researchers.
In a study scheduled for presentation Saturday at the Endocrine Society annual meeting in Houston, researchers found full-term children conceived with fertility drugs were about one inch shorter than their peers.
The researchers wanted to find out whether there was a difference in height among children whose mothers used only ovarian stimulation by fertility drugs such as Clomid (clomiphene) without in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
Children conceived with the help of ovarian stimulation alone account for about 5 percent of all births in the developed world, according to the researchers.
Previous studies have suggested that children conceived by IVF may be taller than naturally conceived kids. The researchers wanted to know if something in the process of IVF, which includes fertilization and culture of embryos in a laboratory dish, could affect stature. So they studied children conceived without IVF, but with the assistance of fertility drugs that cause ovulation.
"The challenge in doing research like this is that in general the people who come to infertility clinics have been trying to get pregnant for multiple years," said Dr. Valerie Baker, medical director at the Stanford Fertility and Reproductive Medical Center, in Palo Alto, Calif. "These people often have serious medical problems. So it's possible that the issue is not the fertility treatment, but something going on with people who have been trying to get pregnant for more than a year without success," she said. Baker was not involved in the study.
The researchers, led by Dr. Tim Savage, a p

(AP Photo/Chris O'Meara, File)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Powerball ticket sold in Tennessee barely missed winning a share of an estimated $590.5 million prize. But the ticket has a nice consolation prize worth $1 million.
Officials say the Powerball ticket worth $1 million was sold in Chattanooga.
There's no word yet on who won.
A Powerball ticket sold at a supermarket in Zephyrhills, Fla., matched all six numbers selected Saturday night for the estimated $590.5 million prize. It's the highest Powerball jackpot in history.
The winning numbers were 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with a Powerball of 11.

By all means, the annual C. Narsi Reddy memorial basketball tournament, organised by the RBVRR Sports Hostel, is one of the most eagerly awaited by the hoopsters in the city and for different reasons.
For the record, the last week edition was won by the Victory Playground which defeated Nizam Basketball Association 86-65 in the final after leading 54-44 at the break.
For the winners, Amruth Raj (23) and Ganesh (18) were the main scorers while for the losers Samson (18) and Gopi (12) put up a good show.
Sridhar Reddy, organising secretary, informed the select gathering that every effort would be made to conduct the event on a much bigger scale next year. "We are very grateful to the RBVRR Hostel, the technical officials of the AP Basketball Association and also the players who made it a point to compete in this annual event and ensure that it is a big success," he said. It is also revealed that the Finance Minister Anam Ramnarayan Reddy, who was the chief guest for the valedictory function, assured the hosts that the government would not be found wanting in promoting sport.
"We will make conscious efforts to help all those individuals and agencies involved in promoting the sport in a selfless manner though the budget allocation for sports may not satisfy all of them," he told the gathering, it is informed. "If we get any proposal worth considering for the promotion of sport, we will surely find a way out," he told the RBVRR Hostel officials. Mr. Anam Ramnarayana Reddy and Konda Lakshmi Kanth Reddy, President of RBVRR, gave away the prizes.
The scores:
Victory Playground 86 (Amruth Raj 23, Ganesh 18) bt Nizam Basketball Association 65 (Samson 18, Gopi 12).

Melanie Schoenborn, Bindery Manager in Library and Information Services (LIS), is the recipient of the March Employee Recognition Award. Melanie was nominated by Lynnette Fields, Director of Technical Services in Library and Information Services.
"Melanie has been with the University since 1987, and embodies all the qualities that make an outstanding SIUE employee. She has an extremely strong work ethic, is conscientious, an excellent team member, and has been an integral part of LIS for the past 27 years. In her capacity as the Bindery Manager, Melanie has supervised many student and graduate assistants over the years. Her caring support and careful mentoring have started many of these students on the way to professional and personal success. She is also a wonderful supporter of international students, not only assisting them with their studies and work, but also in their personal lives. Many of her former students keep in touch years after they graduate. Melanie has not only made a tremendous impact on LIS, she has made significant contributions to the University community. She was a very active member of the Staff Senate for 16 years and chaired the Scholarship and Constitution and Bylaws committees. I can't imagine what it would be like not having Melanie in the department of LIS."

by Geoffrey Ciani - This week's edition of On the Ropes Boxing Radio featured an exclusive interview with boxing trainer Floyd Mayweather Senior whose son, Floyd Jr., recently defeated Sugar Shane Mosley in a dominant performance. Here are some excerpts from that interview:
Regarding what he believes his son did that enabled him to be so successful against Mosley:
"He did what his Daddy told him to do. I told him to stay behind his jab and keep Shane in the middle of the ring. I told him that Shane can't box. You're faster than him, you're younger than him, you're more mobile than him, you're slicker than him, you're more clever than him—he has nothing on you. I know that all those attributes that he has over Shane and that's a lot of things to overcome."
Regarding his thoughts in the second round when Mosley caught Floyd with some good right hands:
"Don't get me wrong, I was very worried as well because that is my son. It just shows you that he is human. When you got 40-0, 41-0, it shows you that he is human. Anybody can be hurt. My thing was I know my son is smart, but of course I got worried when Shane had him on the ropes and he had his hands up. It really wasn't a problem, but I think I would have tied him up, though. I would have tied Shane up and I would have been more cautious, because right after that round when Floyd got hurt, the third round he came out he jumped right on Shane. To me, I don't know how bad he was hurt. He was the only one who felt the shot, but I think that he, well—I wouldn't have fought that way. I wouldn't have fought that way, but he fought a smart fight—a brilliant fight.."
Regarding athletes who use performance enhancers in boxing:
"A lot of these guys today can be dominant. The much weaker guy can be dominant because he has some kind of enhancement drugs in him and that's why boxing is falling out of hand and beginning to be a bad game. Not only boxing, but you got baseball, football, you know, you name any sports you want to name. They're attacking everybody. I don't know. They're attacking Tiger Woods, too, as far as that goes. I'm letting you know that so many people get into drugs. I'm not saying that Tiger Woods is doing that, I'm not saying that any guys are—well, we do know about Shane and he didn't have any stuff in him because he was checked. There it is, right there. Without no stuff in him, now you see the real Shane."
Regarding Floyd's win over Shane in the context of Mosley's win over Antonio Margarito:
"Well you know what? They kept talking about how Floyd was scared of Margarito. Little Floyd already told everybody he could whoop Margarito. He was not worried about no Margarito so what Floyd did was kill two birds with one stone. He let Shane go whoop Margarito and Shane beat Margarito like Floyd beat Shane, so that showed him he would have done the same thing Shane did—knocked him out. Little Floyd would have done the same thing to him because Floyd is too fast, too quick, and too smooth for Margarito."
On being in Camp with his son for the last two fights during which he seemingly performed at a higher level:
"It's because he's a different animal when his father's around because I'm the originator! I'm the motivator, innovator, creator of that boy Floyd and that's what I do. You know, Floyd still makes errors, but I tightened him up and straightened him out. He's a student of the game so it's not hard to train him. I've been training Little Floyd since he was one year old. As a matter of fact, since he first came out of his mother's womb I've been training my son."
Regarding the fact that Mayweather Senior predicted how this fight would unfold more accurately than all of the other past guests on the show:
"Hey, I'm a scientist of boxing. I know boxing like the back of my hand. A lot of people you're talking to are just everyday people and you're talking to news writers, and you're talking to maybe somebody who's playing football or basketball or some other sport, but they definitely aren't talking about boxing because there was no surprise to me and there was no doubt in me about Shane and Floyd fighting because I already knew that there isn't no 38 year old guy who was going to whoop little Floyd. Floyd did just what he was supposed to do."

One Game At A Time
Even 24/7 can't say who won
HBO's 24/7 prefight series has set a high standard for boxing television primers.
One could easily dismiss this since HBO holds the key to the pay-per-view payday of the protagonists. They have almost unlimited access to the fighters, bringing their cameras and microphones into the training camps, the homes and families.
But it's their production treatment that sets it apart. They find the angles that others seem to avoid or take for granted. They weave in insightful interviews with the fighters, the ring experts and even controversial figures that usually shun away from a microphone.
One excellent recent episode was when Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez reviewed their three previous fights. Pacquiao's mentor Freddie Roach was also interviewed as well as Marquez's trainer Nacho Beristain. Ringside analyst and interviewer Larry Merchant and Robert Hoyle, one of the judges of the third fight, shared their insights.
Aside from asking questions, the producers showed snippets of the fights to the interviewees. Gone are the days of cumbersome video playback equipment as the fight highlights were viewed by the respondents on a tablet computer. This allowed them to recall the moments, tactics and even errors of the previous battles.
Reviewing all the three fights on 24/7 with the advantage of hindsight and inside information, one may form new opinions on the decisions of the three fights. New views will not change the results but this does not inhibit sports fans from understanding or rejecting the judges' perspectives.
Our nationalism has sometimes led us to believe that Pacquiao never lost any of the battles. However, many Filipino armchair experts who even go to the extent of scoring each round on their own also believe that Pacquiao lost the second and the third fights.
Those who feel that Pacquiao lost one or two of the fights are not unpatriotic but simply attempt to view the fights with different, if not objective eyes.
Here's my take after going through the three battles on 24/7: I give the first fight to Marquez simply because of the comeback he made after the three knockdowns. The second fight went to Pacquiao with a slight edge because of the knockdown he scored in the third round. The third battle which I first saw as a slight win by Marquez could have very well been a draw.
The program revealed that Marquez inexplicably held back in the last round of the third because he probably thought he was ahead. Beristain begged Marquez in the corner to explode or else the judges would rob him again. Hoyle believed Marquez failed to win the fight in the last three minutes and gave the last round to Pacquiao. His final count was a 114-114 standoff. Pacquiao went on to win via majority decision.
I don't expect everybody to agree with me but isn't that the thrill of sports opinions? Looking back at the three fights can provide new insights but will not alter the decisions that were made right after the battles and in real time. There was no 24/7 to dissect the fight and the judges had to stand by what they saw atop the ring.
HBO's 24/7 said that after 36 rounds, there is still no clear winner between Pacquiao and Marquez. Now, we understand why there is a fourth and probably final showdown.
Maybe by then, 24/7 will have a more conclusive ending.
