Cut Copy

Cut Copy are one of those bands that sneaks up on you. The Australian dance-rock group's first album, 2004's Bright Like Neon Love, arrived at the exact moment many of us were discovering our iPods' shuffle function and, at least for this writer, they quickly became the one group I was always happy to hear when they randomly popped up. At first, Bright Like Neon Love sounded like a fun but insubstantial combination of fizzy, winsome indie-pop and starry-eyed, hard-thumping house music. But after a few months, those songs didn't go away; they sunk in deep. On the follow-up, 2008's In Ghost Colours, they sunk in even deeper, with tracks like "Hearts on Fire" and "Lights and Music" registering as honest-to-god hands-in-the-air anthems.
Now, they've returned with Zonoscope, a masterful long-form piece of work with jittery reggae-pop tracks dissolving gorgeously into retro-house bangers, and all of it ending in the blissed-out 15-minute disco-marathon "Sun God". We recently spoke with frontman Dan Whitford via telephone from Australia about the new album, the process of recording while hung over, and how they started out pretending to be a band.
Pitchfork: You're really tall and skinny and you haven't always looked totally comfortable onstage. How do you develop a presence there? Is that something you've ever worried about?
Dan Whitford: I don't think so. In a strange way, none of us feel like musicians. We're not classically trained. When we started, Mitchell [Scott] had never played drums before. Same with me with guitars and keyboards, and Tim [Hoey] had never played guitar in a band before. So we were all sort of faking being in a band from the beginning. And it showed. We hoped that no one noticed.
Being up front and singing and being a frontman is something that's done-- I haven't been given this natural ability. We just threw ourselves in the deep end. It's one of those things where you convince yourself, and you hope the crowd thinks you know what you're doing. We seem to have gotten away with it so far.
Pitchfork: Compared to In Ghost Colours, Zonoscope feels like a big, expansive, unified piece of work rather than a series of hits.
Dan Whitford: With this record, we've tried to have it feel like the songs belong together even when they don't necessarily match stylistically. A lot of records seem to have a certain continuity in the way they mix the tracks-- Since I Left You by the Avalanches or Chill Out by KLF or DJ Shadow's first record-- and we're inspired by that.
Maybe it's some sort of reaction to the way people absorb music these days, where you listen to songs on blogs and often don't even get to hear a whole record. With Zonoscope, the tracks might have a greater unity or commonality behind them because of the percussion or maybe just the fact that we wrote all these songs in a shorter period of time. It seemed like they all came from the same place.
"We're not these hot musicians that do guitar solos like nobody else."
Pitchfork: On YouTube, there's a documentary about the making of the album, and there's a scene early on where you're all sitting around and listening to records together. Is that part of your process when you start making album?
DW: Yeah, definitely. It's not even really part of putting a record record together, it's just something we would do [laughs]. I spend probably half my time in record stores, and we collectively listen to old records all the time. It's important. We don't consider ourselves too far from a lot of our fans, or people like yourself who write about music. We're not these hot musicians that do guitar solos like nobody else. Cut Copy is more about an aesthetic and reinterpreting the music we like within our own records. I guess a lot of artists feel a little bit uneasy about saying what their influences are. But we've always been happy to talk about it. We celebrate all those people.
Watch a part of the Zonoscope making-of documentary:
Pitchfork: So who were some of the big influences that went into Zonoscope?
DW: There was a period through the early 80s where a lot of art and music became pretty influenced by African culture, and lot of the records that came out of that period had a big influence on the basic demos we made. Obviously, there's Talking Heads, but then there's stuff like the Art of Noise and Trevor Horn-produced records like Malcolm McLaren's Duck Rock, too. And that was also around the birth of hip-hop, as well. A lot of it was quite primitive. Beyond that, we were thinking about some of the British acid house-influenced stuff like the Happy Mondays and Primal Scream's Screamadelica, too.
Pitchfork: Most of the music you mentioned is really optimistic. That's something that also strikes me about the music you make-- it seems to come from this sunny, joyous disposition.
DW: It's perhaps a reflection of the fact that we're doing something we love. It's fun sitting there and coming up with ideas. We have such an array of options-- we could pretty much make any record we wanted. Making a record is such a joyous experience.
"It's more like: 'Well, I've got these four synthesizers and a drum machine, Tim's got a Theremin, and Mitchell is about to bang on a ladder over there with his drumsticks; maybe we'll record that.'"
Pitchfork: You mentioned Trevor Horn, who fit all these big production tricks into every second of his music with bands like the Buggles and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. There are so many ideas flying around within your tracks, too. Does that come from adding and subtracting lots of things to the recording?
DW: We've never written like a classic band; we don't come up with a chord progression and then make that the song. In a lot of ways, we write like producers. We never think that we're limited to a guitar and a drum kit and a microphone. It's never been like that. It's more like: "Well, I've got these four synthesizers and a drum machine, Tim's got a Theremin, and Mitchell is about to bang on a ladder over there with his drumsticks; maybe we'll record that." The songs are filled with a lot of detail, and I like the idea that you can listen to a song 20 or 30 times and then come back again and hear something you hadn't heard before.
Pitchfork: Watching the documentary of you making the album in a warehouse, it seemed like it was a really pleasant environment and you didn't have to rush. What was it like compared to making previous records?
DW: Well, I remember the last day of recording In Ghost Colours at DFA studios with [producer] Tim Goldsworthy. We'd all gone out the night before because there was a LCD Soundsystem show in New York-- everyone had had a pretty massive night in the true New York style, and I'm pretty sure half of us hadn't slept. So we're sitting on the couch listening to this last song that we had to finish for the record, "Sands of Time". After a half an hour of listening to the stuff, I think Tim Goldsworthy's head was actually face-down on the mixing desk. Eventually, he got back up and said, "Look, I'm not sure this song is going to be on this record." We all agreed and went home and slept. But, with an extra few weeks, maybe that track would have made it.
For this album, we weren't forced to rush anything because of financial reasons or because we were running out of studio time. That was really useful. In the warehouse, we spent six months recording and writing, and it was an opportunity to explore any and every idea that we had. We could spend two weeks on a track, or we could spend half a day on the track. It was up to us.
Watch another clip from the Zonoscope making-of doc:
Pitchfork: When you're putting songs together, do you think about how they're going to translate on stage, especially in front of big festival crowds?
DW: No, never. When we're making a record, we never think about how we're going to play it live. Actually, there's often quite a lot of head-scratching when it comes to figuring out how to play the songs live. Like, you can't play 20 keyboard parts laid over one another all at once.
Pitchfork: When you were putting Zonoscope's 15-minute closer "Sun God" together, did you know that you wanted to make this massive epic?
DW: No. That track actually started out close to four minutes. When we finished recording [the early version], I was sitting there and I had the main synth arpeggio loop running at the end. I thought, "Wow this, is a pretty cool loop. We've had it running through the whole song, but I'm still not sick of it." And then I just started doodling around on some of the keyboards and I basically ended up doing a synth jam overnight. It's like I got possessed and started taking it on this journey. I was just like, "This is fun; I'll see what the other guys think." And everyone was like, "We've got to use this."
Pitchfork: So many of your tracks have this build-up and then a moment of release, which is definitely something I associate more with dance music than indie rock. When you're putting songs together, do you try to figure out where you'll put the build-up in?
DW: Probably not [laughs]. I mean, that's probably not the first thing that pops into my head writing a song. It's something that comes a bit later, like when we're mixing a track: "Wow, this is the moment-- how do we accentuate it?" And when we play live, it will get to that moment, and it's like, "Where's a big speaker stack or something I can jump onto and wave the crowd into some sort of frenzy?" You want to enhance those moments. It's definitely a dance music thing. In some ways, the energy of dance music is the thing that excites me most-- when you're on a dancefloor and you're almost helpless to move because your body parts are being propelled out by the music.
"I've always liked that juxtaposition between these super-robotic pulsing synth sounds and a luscious soul voice just dripping over the top of it."
Pitchfork: In the documentary, there's a scene where a group of singers records backing vocals on "Need You Now". How did you link up with them?
DW: When we finished all the demos, we were sitting down and listening to David Bowie's Young Americans at my house, thinking about enlisting a gospel choir or a bunch of vocalists to do that kind of soul backing-singer sound on some of the tracks. I've always liked that juxtaposition between these super-robotic pulsing synth sounds and a luscious soul voice just dripping over the top of it. Like some of the stuff Donna Summer did with Giorgio Moroder. It's a really interesting contrast.
By that point, we already knew we were going to Atlanta and that we could work with [Animal Collective/Gnarls Barkley collaborator] Ben Allen. It was magic with him. I remember talking to him on the phone before we went over there, and he said, "Man, I could hook this up in a heartbeat. I know like 50 people over here that could do that sort of thing." So he found us a bunch of local singers that were the ones you see in the documentary, and that ended up on the record. They had just come in before we started doing the mixing for the album and laid down all those amazing vocal parts across four or five of the tracks.
Watch another clip from the Zonoscope doc:
Pitchfork: Were there any ideas like that that you were hoping to try that you weren't able to do this time?
DW: With this record, we probably got to most of the ideas that we wanted to try, unlike in the past. This is the first time we've come to an album's release and we feel like the ideas are complete.

12.10.08 - By Paul Strauss: This was one night when "Two + Two is actually One Sided". Vitali Klitschko fought tall, like the giant he is. He kept his hands low, especially his left, which enabled him to throw left jabs, hooks, shovel hooks, uppercuts, etc, from many different angles. Samuel Peter remained relatively stationary, which allowed Vitali to take target practice. Every time Peter would tense up to unload, he would find that Vitali had already moved out of range. Or, at other times, when he tried to rush into range, he would run into a Vitali right, plus a few more lefts thrown in for good measure.
It would be accurate to say that Vitali looked very good, especially after such a long lay off, and that Peter looked lethargic and frustrated. Vitali made the fight, and Peter helped him do so by cooperating with Vitali's game plan. Right from the beginning Peter was rocked, and the process continued with each and every round, so much so that realistically Peter did not win one round..
As the end neared, both of Peter's eyes were swollen, and it was obvious that he was incapable of mounting any kind of sustainable attack. His head was immobile, his guard dropped, and he was pushing his punches. Vitali was obviously enjoying himself with this sitting duck. Peter wasnt, so he quit after the eighth round.
During the post-fight interview, Vitali was understandably non-committal about what he thinks is in the future for him. He wants time to enjoy his well earned victory, and compare titles with
his brother Wladimir. It's seems a sure bet they will not be fighting each other. Vitali & Valuev could grow their own beanstalk, and capture the goose that laid the golden egg. Now wouldn't it be interesting to see those two giants in the ring. They would need one equally as big as the ring used tonight, in which the Russian Hockey team could have skated.

Drew Champlin covers Troy athletics for The Dothan Eagle. E-mail him at email@example.com.
Wednesday, September 19, 2012
This is my last week at the Dothan Eagle
Heads up, turn your microphone up if you want to hear me. Even though my mic was up to my face, it went in and out. I talk about Troy in the beginning, other schools in the middle and my future over the final minute.
This was filmed Monday and it was the first realization that this was it for me in the Wiregrass, at the Dothan Eagle and covering Troy University. Some of you knew this, but this is my last week with the paper and the game at North Texas this weekend will be my last assignment.
I've enjoyed almost every minute of it, but I'll be moving on to a new challenge in covering UAB for the Birmingham News/al.com. I have to monitor other schools, such as Samford and Jacksonville State, but for any UAB fans reading this, rest assured, it's going to be predominantly Blazers from what I was told. I'll be at all the football games, all the home basketball games and I want to say several road games as well, but haven't been told that. I'm crossing my fingers. Basically, if UAB has something important going on, I'll be there.
I was hindered by more around here covering high schools and desk shifts and even being an hour away from Troy, was still able to get plenty of material out. I should be able to do much more with UAB and I'm looking forward to the challenge of a new fan base/readership, new school, new people to deal with and living in Hoover.
But back to being here - I can't thank Jon Johnson and Ken Tuck enough for taking a chance on someone just a few months out of college with no contacts at Troy. I think it turned out well.
Larry Blakeney, Don Maestri and Bobby Pierce, and their assistants, have been first class. I've been through a lot of their best and worst moments since Feb. 2005, when I took over and the first Troy athletics event I saw was Troy beating Jacksonville in an Atlantic Sun basketball game. It hasn't been perfect, but it's been professional.
The staff in the Troy athletics media relations department has bent over backwards to help me out, from Ricky Hazel's crew to now Adam Prendergast, and I'll miss being in the press box making jokes with the current crew while waiting for them to pass along Troy notes throughout the game.
I can't imagine many University heads taking time to help out a newspaper writer, but Dr. Jack Hawkins always made time for when I had a question and I can't thank him enough for his class and time. The University, despite not being in a great location in a huge town, has thrived under Hawkins' leadership and I expect that to continue.
I've been asked about who will replace me. I don't know that answer, but I do know they are working hard to fill it. They got corporate approval to make a hire. The job posting is HERE. We'll still have Troy stories each day, and Jon Johnson will write them in the interim. I would think this blog would still be maintained by my replacement.
In the meantime, it's been great dealing with the people, the student-athletes over the years and writing about them while watching them grow from teenagers to grown men. The best part has been the interaction with the readers, and that can still continue. I'll stay on twitter @DrewChamplin, for new followers, and I'll respect if you have to unfollow because I won't be updating Troy any more after Sunday.
My personal e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com, which is the best way to get me after Sunday. I start my new job on Monday, and will be fully immersed in the UAB beat on Oct. 1. I'm still not exactly sure what all I'll be doing next week. I'll have a new work e-mail, but I'm not sure what that will be yet. I just know to show up Monday at 8 a.m. for orientation.
To close it out, I just need to say thanks to everyone who made this coverage grow, and that was the readers. We'll have Troy coverage (written by someone else) on al.com, but don't forget the Dothan Eagle - I'm positive the newspaper will continue on its path to be the leading source of Troy news long after I'm gone.

After the recent looting spree by bike-borne robbers across the city, the police department has swung into action and decided to provide newer and faster bikes to policemen, so that they can chase the criminals having immense riding ability.
Giving details about the plan to curb the menace of robbers in the city, commissioner of police SK Saikia said that the process of procuring new bikes has already been initiated.
"We've already initiated the process to place order for newer and faster bikes for our men, so that they can chase the robbers whenever required. We are also planning to give petrol allowance to those policemen who use their own bikes during duty hours," the commissioner stated.
A few years ago, city cops were given Bajaj Pulsar bikes. However, a majority of these bikes have become non-functional or are in a bad condition.
Saikia also announced that traffic police will be given bikes with siren, which will be placed at several strategic locations across the city. "Bike with sirens can be useful while chasing robbers on bike. As soon as we learn about the location of these robbers on the road, the nearest traffic cop can use that bike and start the chase," Saikia said.
Saikia also spoke about the long-awaited CCTV project, which will enhance the security cover for the city. "In the first phase, 100 different spots of the city, including 60 entry points, will be covered with CCTV cameras. In the later stage, cameras will be installed in interior parts of the city, including narrow streets, BRTS junctions and offices," explained Saikia. He also announced that 250 police vehicles, including 80 PCR vans, will be equipped with GPS system for better communication.
According to the police chief, the recent robberies have been committed by two different types of gangs, one from the city and another from outside. "City-based gangs usually hail from Kubernagar and Sardarnagar area. They are usually involved in chain-snatching and don't use firearms. Gangs from other states come prepared with guns, like in Vastrapur loot. We have already started our crackdown on these gangs," said Saikia.

Nazir Afzal, chief Crown prosecutor for the north-west of England, who put Coronation Street's William Roache in the dock, said the authorities would prosecute if the evidence was there - irrespective of who the defendant was - in cases of historic sex abuse.
"This is not some witch hunt. Criminal justice is not a ducking-stool, it is due process. It is a collection of evidence, scrutiny of evidence, presentation of evidence, the testing of that evidence and determination by a jury," he said.
Mr Afzal said in each case, no matter who the complainant or accused was, the same test applied in deciding whether a case went to court: "Is there sufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction and is it in the public interest to do so?
"The threshold has not changed. Time is not barrier to justice being delivered. It is for Parliament to determine there should be a limitation on cases being brought to court. Parliament has decided there is no limitation on these types of cases and that must be right.
"Our test is the realistic prospect of conviction, it's not the same as 'This man is guilty': that is a judgment only a jury can make. Nobody is above the law in this country. We apply the code, the law, to everybody."
Mr Afzal said that as a chief prosecutor he was "damned if I do and damned if I don't" in deciding whether a case goes to court.
Speaking at a conference on sexual abuse in Manchester, he said it was important to prosecute cases of historic abuse regardless of the passage of time for the sake of the victims.
"Time is not a healer," he said. "Justice delayed, evidently, is better than justice denied. "
He said that for generations children, very often the victims of sexual abuse, had been told they should be seen and not heard and it took "enormous courage" to eventually come forward.

National Guard carves out its slice of DoD cyber mission, wants teams in every state
Both the Army and Air National Guard say they are making inroads toward gaining a foothold for their state-based forces in the Defense Department's growing mission sets in cyberspace. Both services say they are training more personnel and building the guard's credibility within the Pentagon when it comes to cyber missions.

On 22 May 2012, Viviane Reding, Vice-President of the EC in charge of Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship, John Dalli, Member of the EC in charge of Health and Consumer Policy, and Malcom Harbour, Chairman of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, gave a press conference on a new European Consumer Agenda, held in Strasbourg.
Consumer expenditure, amounting to 56% of EU GDP, reflects the enormous power of the consumer to drive forward the European economy. Only empowered and confident consumers can fully exploit the potential of the Single Market and enhance innovation and growth. This is why the European Commission's strategic vision for EU consumer policy for the years to come – adopted on that day - aims to maximise consumer participation and trust in the market. Built around four main objectives the European Consumer Agenda aims to increase confidence by: reinforcing consumer safety; enhancing knowledge; stepping up enforcement and securing redress; aligning consumer rights and policies to changes in society and in the economy. It also presents a number of key actions to be implemented between now and 2014

The play was premiered at the Edinburgh Festival at the Traverse in 1975.[2]
The 25th anniversary production, produced by Steven Berkoff's East Productions and Marc Sinden and starring Tanya Franks, started at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley. The tour included the Edinburgh Festival (winning the Stage Award for Best Ensemble work at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe) and the Théâtre de Silvia Monfort, Paris. It opened at London's Vaudeville Theatre on 15 September 1999 where the DVD of the production was filmed in front of a live audience.[3][4]

Odom seemed to have forced a turnover by Josh Powell during the team's scrimmage, and when Phil Jackson signaled with an extended arm that possession should go to Odom's team, he danced over with a big grin and tried to high-five Jackson. (The coach didn't reciprocate, not that it stopped Odom from slapping Jackson's wrist anyway.) When Lakers assistant coach Brian Shaw, playing the role of scrimmage ref, overruled Jackson's call, Odom protested but managed to laugh about that, too.
After practice ended, Odom came off the court and engaged a group of reporters in a high-energy conversation about the upcoming baseball playoffs and the state of the NFL. In bare feet, with just tape around his ankles, and holding his socks-stuffed-in sneakers in his left hand the whole time, Odom re-enacted Brett Favre's every move on the miraculous winning touchdown pass that lifted the Vikings over the 49ers. (The groom still managed to get his football fix Sunday, apparently!)
The little pink gum moved every which way around his teeth and tongue as Odom kept jabbering away about the boxing lessons he did every other day for two months of the summer. He said the effect is "incredible" and his whole body feels different now. He hiked up his purple shorts in an effort to display how much stronger his thighs feel.
Although Phil Jackson later kidded that the effect is a result of Odom having never worked out in any capacity during any previous offseason, Odom's longtime personal trainer Robbie Davis agreed that the boxing has helped, saying of Odom: "He's very fit."
When he's all revved up, Odom speaks all in questions, and he was soon doing so as he kept talking: "You've got to be strong from your ankles to your neck, right? To take a punch? You know what I mean?" A left-handed baller, Odom suggested that boxing right-handed would create muscle memory for all the right-handed layups he never makes.
He showed how his boxing stance is a slight crouch, similar to proper basketball positioning for defensive slides. He chattered on about how he liked that it felt "combative" and believed he would be a better defender to stand up alongside Artest.
Odom shared his workout mindset, saying: "I'm just thinking, 'I'm gonna stay in there. I'm not a (wussy) anymore. Not scared to take a punch.' And it just made me think of competing at the highest level, just one-on-one. Warriors."
Lamar being Lamar – he's the social-butterfly sort who simply knows too many people – he couldn't remember his boxing trainer's last name when raving about him Wednesday. All the hours put in were, in fact, at Terry Claybon's LB4LB gym, and this is not a mere peripheral note to this story.
Claybon trained Denzel Washington for "The Hurricane" and Matt Damon for "The Bourne Ultimatum." Claybon has also trained Tom Brady. And Tyra Banks. And Snoop Dogg.
There's a reason Odom went there to work out. Artest is right; in NBA history there has never been a player so willing to pass up shots who has been so desirous of the spotlight. He definitely wants to win, but he wants much more to be a winner.
Say he should be more responsible; NCAA investigators have. Say he should be a better parent; the mother of his two children has. Say he should be a greater player given his skills; well, just about everyone has gone there.
He has always been a piece of work … and an incomplete work of art.
In a vibrant life plagued by loss of life (his grandmother, his mother, his infant son), Odom is starting to make the kind of mark on the world he has always wanted. He has achieved his longtime goal of proving he's "not a loser" – his words – by playing a key role in the Lakers' championship. He is thankfully re-signed, happily married and proudly portrayed on the cover of OK! Magazine – his sideways grin dancing behind all three Kardashian sisters.
Whether you believe it's real life, this is the life for L.O.
It'll be interesting to see who he is now that he's finally playing from ahead, not behind.

just quick question if my project was soft rejected (Reason: The preview image set here is incorrectly labelled.) do i have to upload all parts of the project again via edit options ( Image Preview, Thumbnail,Main File(s), Preview Image Set) or can i upload JUST Preview Image Set ( with correct names obviously) it's just gonna take ages on my internet connection
Just as the Reviewer stated, "The preview image set here is incorrectly labelled." Just re-upload only the preview image set from EDIT menu and remember to label from 01_ consecutively.
thx that makes perfect sense ( the fact that that the rest of items dont show up in drop down menus in edit>Update Item makes me wonder )

I wonder when the press will learn their lesson. They seem to do this time and time again with celebrities (especially child stars who grow up to develop severe mental health issues.) They ridicule and hound them, which can only make their mental health issues worse. Obviously, I'm not blaming the press for her mental health issues, but surely people need to draw a line and say to themselves ''Okay, she's clearly not well, so we need to leave her alone and hope she sorts herself out rather than making money from the mental illness of another human being.'' But that never seems to happen. It just makes me wonder where the humanity is in some people
At the minute, her entire life seems to be like some sort of circus attraction which people are lining up to see and laugh at. It breaks my heart.

25.04.07 - By Paul McCreath: On Friday, May 4 at the Palms Casino in Vegas, Showtime will present another heavyweight match of importance to American fans. While not a title bout or an eliminator, it does match the fighter, Eddie Chambers, that most fans consider to be the country's best hope for the future among the heavyweights against the man, Dominick Guinn, who used to be considered the best hope.
Guinn, of course, has not made it to the top. After a very successful amateur career where he won the national title at super heavyweight in 1998, as well as two Golden Gloves national titles in 1997 and 1999, Dominick was considered a top prospect when he turned pro in June of 2000. 21 consecutive victories, 16 by KO over the usual suspects, did little to change any minds. Then came his big chance, a match with former contender, Michael Grant in June of 2003. Many felt that this was too big a step for the young hopeful but Guinn proved them wrong with a convincing 7th round KO of the disappointing Grant.
Victories in 10 rounds over decent journeymen Duncan Dokiwari and Derrick Banks followed and the march to contention seemed right on schedule. Then, in March of '04, came the first bump in the road, a 10-round split decision loss to Monte Barrett, who was coming off his narrow loss to top contender Joe Mesi. This was a setback but considered a learning experience and not too serious. After a 1st round KO of veteran Phil Jackson in July, he was ready again to set the record straight. Unfortunately, Sergei Liahovich had other ideas and won a surprising and convincing 10-round decision in December. Still, as we all know, Liahovich in his next bout won the WBO title from Lamon Brewster, so perhaps all was not lost yet.
Regrettably ,subsequent losses to James Toney in 12 in Oct of '05 and later Tony Thompson again over 12 rounds in June of '06, combined with an unimpressive draw with Friday Ahunanya in April of '05, have pretty well placed Guinn in the gatekeeper or even trial horse class. He has only lost to good fighters and showed he is still no pushover by upsetting the much touted Audley Harrison over 10 rounds a year ago. He needs a victory badly to remain in the money making class of heavyweights. His current record is 28-4-1 with 19 KO's. His last bout was a second round stoppage of Zuri Lawrence in February.
Fast Eddie Chambers is a smaller heavyweight, around 215 pounds, and will likely concede about 10 pounds to Guinn, who usually comes in around 225. That won't bother Eddie who is usually outweighed, often by much more than that. His last opponent, Derrick Rossy, who came in undefeated at 15-0, weighed 248. He also has wins over Ross Puritty and Robert Hawkins while running up a 28-0 record with 16 stoppages since he turned pro in December of 2000. He is noted more for his fast hands and good defense than for his power. Guinn, on the other hand, is a boxer puncher who has never been stopped. It seems likely this one will go the distance.
Chambers, whose style has often been compared to Chris Byrd, will be meeting his highest rated foe up until now and this promises to be a good test for him.A loss could still be written off as a learning experience and not be considered too much of a setback. A win will mean he is on track for possible title contention in another year or so.American fans who are pining for another heavyweight hero will be hoping he comes through. I suspect he will do that by a clear but not easy decision.

Slovakian cyclist Peter Sagan wins Ghent-Wevelgem
Associated Press
BRUSSELS -- Peter Sagan of Slovakia made a solo breakaway with 2.5 miles left to win the Ghent-Wevelgem classic Sunday, extending his lead in the WorldTour standings.
Sagan's surprise move left 10 other riders standing, giving him a 28-second advantage at the finish. He won in 4 hours, 29 minutes, 10 seconds.
After finishing second in his past two WorldTour races, the leader of the Cannondale Pro Cycling team has his first big victory of the season.
Slovenia's Borut Bozic won the sprint in the chasing group for second place ahead of Belgium's Greg Van Avermaet.
The course was shortened from 147 to 113 miles on the eve of the race because of snow and frost on parts of the roads. It was the second time in two weeks snow affected a race, with the Milan-San Remo also shortened.

Visa, MasterCard to form SET body

New standard for corporate buyingJune 4, 1997
SET e-commerce spec readyMay 29, 1997

Smart standards for e-commerceDecember 23, 1996
A source close to one of the card associations said the new body, referred to as SetCo, is likely to add other card brands that have endorsed SET 1.0. The protocol is designed to make credit card purchases over the Internet safe. American Express, Diners Club, Novus, and Air Travel Card have endorsed SET.
Both Visa and MasterCard declined to comment on plans for SetCo, but the source said an announcement may come as soon as next week, after the relevant parties sign a memorandum of understanding.
SetCo also will develop future versions of SET, which is likely to expand to cover smart cards and additional debit card options.
SetCo also will oversee a testing program to assure that software products comply with SET. Companies that pass muster will win the right to use the new SET logo, under a branding program SetCo will administer. Web sites that support SET transactions also are eligible for the logo.
SET is one of a half dozen standards efforts in the Internet commerce area. American Express, for example, is spearheading an online catalog protocol called Open Buying on the Internet; Microsoft, Intuit, and CheckFree have created Open Financial Exchange (OFX), a protocol for home banking and bill-paying on the Net.
But SET differs from other e-commerce specifications in that it addresses the "trust" relationships between buyers, merchants, and financial institutions. The other e-commerce protocols mainly address technical and formatting issues, the traditional stuff of technical standards.
SetCo membership will be open to card companies, but several "technology advisers" will be invited as non-voting affiliates. That parallels the roles that computer firms, including Microsoft, IBM, CyberCash, Netscape and others played in developing SET 1.0.

An adamant but a bright young lad. This is how the new chief minister's kin and long-time acquaintances describe him. "Siddarama" means a person who does what he wants and the young man who would go on to become Karnataka's 22nd chief minister more than lived up to his name; right from his childhood, he was headstrong and uncompromising.
He was born to Siddaramegowda and Boramma in Siddaramanahundi, about 20 kilometres from Mysore. He has three siblings. When just a boy, Siddu was not keen on education, more interested in his father's cattle and fields. It was his father who goaded him towards education. A village elder, Appaji, was his first teacher. Siddu drew his first Kannada letters on sand in the backyard of a temple, next to his father's house.
The new CM's uncle Rame Gowda said Siddaramaiah's father did not earn much and had to save every penny for his education. The young boy, after joining school, would help his father wherever he could, carrying ration and vegetables for the family from the marketplace that was 10 km away from their village. He would walk the entire distance, and his father would reward him with masala puffed rice, which was dear to Siddu.
Another uncle of Siddaramaiah, Siddegowda, said they knew from the start that the boy was anything but ordinary. He claimed that his nephew is the first graduate of the village, that too a lawyer. He said that after completing his law education, Siddaramaiah worked as a junior under a lawyer in Mysore, Chikkaboraiah, who graciously took him under his wings.
Chikkaboraiah, now in his 80s, said Siddaramaiah took copious notes, studied every case meticulously and argued well in the court. He said Siddu would have made a mark in the field of law had he not drifted to politics. Another senior colleague of Siddaramaiah in legal profession, Thammanna Gowda, said he knows the former since 1979. He said that Siddaramaiah not only practised law, but also taught part time in a local law college.
He described how he was surprised when he once visited Siddaramaiah's room, as there were more books than there were clothes. He added that as far as he knows, Siddaramaiah slept on a cot and led an abstemious life throughout his scholastic life.

Johnny Quiroz calls me sir, an address that you seem to get these days only when buying something. He has no tattoos, wears a crucifix around his neck and beams a big smile. He has the eyes of a shy, gentle person.
From now on, he can only go down in my estimation.
But the smile is about to vanish, which is a big part of this story.
He's 19 years old and was raised in the Oceanside barrio where many of his friends were ganged-up. He had every opportunity to embrace a lifestyle that's frowned on by people who carry handcuffs and who don't congratulate those they invite to wear them.
Johnny stayed out. He graduated from El Camino High School and now has a glamorous job busing tables for minimum wage at the Jolly Roger restaurant in Oceanside. Then, in pursuit of his ambition to become a cop, he drags himself out of bed after a late shift to attend a full load of classes at MiraCosta College. Difficult though all this is, the smile persists like a birthday party snapshot.
Johnny is small of stature but big of resolution. He's 5 feet, 2 inches and 117 pounds. For such a small man to get other men to reflexively step aside, there are two certain ways: Be a boss or a boxer, and you can be a boxer younger.
Johnny is a professional boxer — a flyweight. Standing before me, he's 30 minutes away from his fourth pro fight. That's the reason the smile has taken flight. He's swapped it for his fighting face: a purse-lipped glare. It's a combination of nerves, determination, and yes, fear.
He knows that in an adjoining room, a fellow his size is focused on making sure Johnny hurts too much for the smile to return, at least until morning.
Johnny is 3-1 as a pro and was 40-10 as an amateur. He didn't just start doing this yesterday. He was 10 when he first tried "the manly art of self-defense," as it was called back in John L. Sullivan's day.
Johnny is one of half a dozen fighters and their entourages in a large conference room that serves as a ready room. It's in the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in San Diego, where, in an adjoining arena, tonight's six bouts will take place. Johnny's four-rounder is the second on the card.
The fighters busy themselves by half-listening to trainers' instructions, gazing fretfully into space and getting hands taped and gloves laced on. Their opponents are in the next room doing the same. Aging fight guys wander around in silk shirts. Damon Runyon would miss the cigars, the sawdust on the floor and the faded posters on the wall, but he'd still know it as the fight game.
We're marking time, so I look around. Off in one corner is a female boxer — Araseli Tinoco of Ramona, standing alone with a towel around her neck, looking around like she just stepped into Oz. This is her first pro fight. I'm intrigued and go over. She is curious about her opponent from Mexico City, Lupita Gutierrez, also 19. I tell the young boxer I'll go next door and check her out.
