Blue Fox Run Golf Course
Hartford golfers who haven't played Avon's Blue Fox Run recently will be in for quite a surprise when they do return. This picturesque course along the Farmington River, in the shadows of Talcott Mountains, now features 27 holes that allow for three distinct 18-hole layouts.
Blue Fox Run introduced nine new holes in 2008 that have completely transformed this popular course in the heart of the Farmington Valley. You can now choose from the challenging par- 72 White-Blue layout and its lengthy 7,025 yards. Or, you can opt for two other combinations, each just over 6,200 yards and a par-70.
The new nine holes, which were incorporated into the existing layout, feature a mix of contrasting styles. Some are cast in the classic style of tree-lined fairways while others are open and reminiscent of links golf. And while the old Blue Fox Run gave you ample room off the tee, the new holes require more shotmaking skill, with smaller greens and extensive bunkering.
Our Hartford golf clubhouse features a well supplied pro-shop and Mulligan's restaurant that is open daily. Locker rooms with showers are also available. Our open-air pavilion is perfect for tournaments, private parties or in providing a good scenic view for some post-round beverages.
Thanks to everyone who came out on our customer appreciation day this year! The weather is getting colder but we are still open! So get your winter golf gear and stop by Blue Fox Run!

Barnsley are expected to appoint Rochdale boss Keith Hill as their new manager on Wednesday.
Hill initially ruled himself out of the running for the job last week, but reopened talks on Monday night and is now poised to take over following the departure of Mark Robins.
The 42-year-old guided Dale to promotion from League Two in 2010 and then to their joint highest position of ninth in League One last season.
Leyton Orient's Russell Slade was also a target for the Tykes but an approach for him was turned down last week.
The new manager will officially be unveiled at a noon press conference at Oakwell.
Robins quit at the end of the season amid reports of a fall-out with the club's board over the budget for next term.

A Cure for the Housing Blues
The cramdown solution.
Nov 7, 2011, Vol. 17, No. 08 • By IKE BRANNON
At the moment, mortgage loan modifications are entirely at the discretion of the lender. But thanks to the disintermediation of the mortgage market in recent decades, negotiations between the mortgage holder and the debtor can be nearly impossible to initiate, despite a plethora of administration programs designed to ameliorate this problem. (The mortgage holder is typically an investment bank or some other investor who holds it along with a host of other mortgages in a mortgage-backed security.)
Ironically, one of the arguments offered for exempting home mortgage loans from being crammed down in the 1978 bankruptcy reform was that the community banks and savings and loans that issued most home loans were well-positioned—and had an incentive—to negotiate with a financially troubled homeowner to avoid foreclosure. As that is no longer the case, bankruptcy judges should be given the power to impose cramdowns.
Republicans typically react to suggestions of mortgage cramdowns with indignation, arguing that it sets a bad precedent and rewards speculators and people who didn't play by the rules. There is some truth to this: For instance, economists Michael LaCour-Little, Vincent Yao, and Eric Rosenblatt find that a good portion of foreclosed homeowners in Southern California bought their homes well before the peak of the price bubble and managed to extract a considerable amount of equity from the home before the crash. They estimate that the typical return on equity for those with foreclosed houses approaches 40 percent—not a bad haul.
However, should meting out fiscal justice trump economic expediency? It's a question that policy-makers have asked themselves previously. In his book The Banking Panics of the Great Depression, Elmus Wicker notes that the Federal Reserve maintained a tight monetary policy well into the 1930s that they knew would lead to the collapse of banks throughout the country, which in turn would crater the economy. Nevertheless, they held fast to this path not just because of a Darwinian economic perspective but also because of a widely held notion (at least within the Fed) that helping these troubled banks would be rewarding failure.
Phillip Swagel, assistant secretary for policy at Treasury in the latter years of the Bush administration, wrote in a paper for the Brookings Institution that his old bosses rejected any cramdown because they feared its subsequent impact on the lending markets for middle-income households. Resorting to a cramdown, they reasoned, would lead mortgage issuers to tighten credit standards as well as demand higher down-payments. It's safe to say that this ship has sailed. Cramdown or no cramdown, credit standards are tightening and higher down-payments will be the rule.
Who Gets a Break?
Ultimately, America has a choice: Do we continue to insist that the people who made bad bets in the housing market get punished for their wagers, or do we focus on creating policies that have the best chance of ending our economic malaise? Once we decide that the latter should take precedence, the next step is easy: We allow mortgage cramdowns to occur in the context of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy reorganization.
By doing it in the context of bankruptcy, we set a high bar on who takes advantage of a cramdown: Someone who is marginally under water is not going to want to go through the proctology exam that comes with a Chapter 13 bankruptcy or to pay the thousands of dollars of lawyers' fees to file. But someone $100,000 in the hole is likely to explore the possibility—exactly the incentive we want to create.
The worry that mortgage-holders are going to take a hit is valid: While granting mortgage relief through bankruptcy minimizes the costs of fixing the housing market, the government may still find it necessary to provide some sort of relief to various holders of mortgage-backed securities, which would be politically unpalatable but much less expensive than the president's proposed $447 billion stimulus plan, while having the advantage of actually providing real stimulus.
But the true cost of a cramdown will not be that significant: At the end of the day the investors holding mortgages aren't likely to get more for their mortgages than what the houses are currently worth. So the real question is who should live in those houses? The people now in them, or the people who would buy them for pennies on the dollar after the wrenching and complicated ordeal of a foreclosure and auction?

Read more in The sex lives of animals: A rough guide
GLANCING around at the images surrounding me - a deer threesome, a pair of West Indian manatees in a "69" position - I can't help but feel like a bit of a pervert. Then I see flamingos that prefer to have sex while others are watching, a panda watching porn and a homosexual, necrophiliac mallard, and I think, these are the perverts. Only they're not really, because whatever sexual activities these animals engage in are, by definition, natural. The Sex Lives of Animals exhibition at the Museum of Sex in New York City makes clear that "natural" doesn't rule out very much.
The Sex Lives of Animals is not a peep show, but a serious science exhibit whose advisory board boasts an impressive roster of scientists including Niles Eldredge, a curator at New York's American Museum ...

I'm back after a 2-week hiatus to recharge my batteries, reignite my passion for pop culture, and more importantly spend some much needed face-time with my wife, family and friends.
Before I go into the meat of this column which is putting together DC Comics' New 52 multiverse puzzle pieces (a finite multiverse of 52 as opposed to the infinite one of olde… see Infinite Crisis' take on the latter to the right), I think I owe you a bit of an explanation of where I've been and where I think I'll be going with my pop culture fandom.
2011 was a year of endings for me pop culture-wise. A lot of things I have anticipated or sought after as a collector came into my possesion:
With that, I decided to relook at my contribution at the Comics Nexus. My previous most-recent column series had been called "One Fan's Trials" because I was really not happy with how many of my fave characters were being portrayed in comics. That title isn't very inspiring or positive. And, there were others things I wanted to talk about that weren't rants, so I just wrote many more articles sans any column banner and only revisited OFT sparingly.
Despite the endings of 2011, I see 2012 as a year of new beginnings for me as a pop culture enthusiast. And, I am optimistic for the first time in a long-time about my fandom. So, I decided to rethink what a Babos column around here would be like and about and came up with the versatile title of "Demythify" for my new column. This is where I will demystify pop culture news, starting with this inaugural edition's look at DC's second wave announcement and doubling down on their multiverse with companion Earth 2 related books. There have been a lot of teases over the last several months, some more direct than others, but we do know a lot about what's coming rounded out by recent musings by writers James Robinson (on Earth 2) and Paul Levitz (on Worlds' Finest).
My Demythify columns will bring analysis of comic and pop culture news, may break news on occasion, may provide a history lesson other times, and will naturally include some rants along the way.
So, I come back to you reenergized, excited, and raring to go. I hope you like this new column and as always, all feedback is welcome. Without further ado, here is what we can gather about DC's multiverse and the titles committed to its exploration. It's been pieced together from months of musings my DC'ers not just the most recent tidbits. And, it's easy to draw inferences if you're a "veteran" fan like me. Enjoy and let me know what you think. Here we go…
4. The stealth tease of a Kryptonian Cousin vs. the overt fanfare of a Dark Knight Daughter! It was recently revealed quite directly that the main character in Paul Levitz's Huntress mini-series is Helena Wayne, Batman and Catwoman's daughter from Earth 2, who uses several identities in her crime fighting / espionage including her current Bertinelli surname (the name of the pre-Flashpoint Huntress who was NOT Batman's daughter). While this has yet to be revealed within the New 52 mini-series, writer Levitz has indicated that Worlds' Finest will include a scene where Helena Wayne is rummaging through several Helena _________ passports including the Bertinelli one. DC has tapped the creator of Batman's Daughter to write her new New 52 adventures. DC Comics has been more guarded in their commentary on "Karen Starr" Power Girl. Would she be the Supergirl of Earth 2 (in substance, but not by nom du guerre) like she was in the 1970s? Most references to the character were using her "Karen" Earth name with no official confirmation she was the Earth 2 Superman's cousin, until a January 19th DC blog interview where Levitz said that "Helena and Kara are facing dilemmas in WORLDS' FINEST that are nothing like any version of either of their previous lives". Why is that significant? Well that is first reference to "Kara" which indicates that Power Girl is in fact Kara Zor-L (not "el" like the New 52 Supergirl) the cousin of the salt-and-pepper haired elder Superman, Kal-L (not "el") of Earth 2.
3. It's 2012 on Earth 2 not WWII? Earth 2 writer James Robinson confirmed on the, you guessed it… the DC blog… that "Earth 2 is a world that's very like our own, but at the same time vastly different… in the present as new menaces emerge to attack the Earth, so new heroes must emerge too, learning to work as a team (or perhaps Society is a better word) while facing these new threats head-on". So, it would seem that "in the present" puts the Justice Society of Earth in their 2012th year not during WWII. Coupled with the existence of Earth 2 Superman's cousin and Earth 2 Batman's daughter trapped on Earth 1, that essentially confirms there is an older generation of heroes on Earth 2, whether WWII era or not is a question, whether that worlds pre-2012 history unfolded in a "similar" way as Earth 1 just with mystery men added, remains to be seen. This seems to be confirmed by another James Robinson musing: "It has known great conflict and danger…a dark menace defeated but at a great cost both to the Earth and to its superheroes of that time." A big question will be whether Batman will be alive in 2012 on Earth 2. For folks that remember, the Earth 2 Batman (pre-Crisis of Infinite Earths) died in the pages of Adventure Comics 462, while Superman continued to live. Since the modern Earth 2 is not the same as the 1970s one, the jury is out on whether Bruce Wayne is a hearty and hale geezer in James Robinson's title. And, we'll likely get second generation heroes a la the 1980s Infinity Inc. (hopefully) plus new characters too in the book. Should be fun.
2. Earth 2's or New 52's Superman THE Superman in Grant Morrison's Multiversity? It was interesting the way the DC blog announced the James Robinson penned and Nicola Scott pencilled Earth 2 series: "The greatest heroes on a parallel Earth, the Justice Society combats threats that will set them on a collision course with other worlds." Instead of the much ballyhooed Multiversity being a vanity project for writer Grant Morrison to explore some of the New 52 Earths in DC's multiverse, maybe Multiversity is actually more integral to the New 52 and will be kicked off by the goings on in the Earth 2 New 52 series. Why does Grant Morrison need to establish Earth 2 in Multiversity when James Robinson is doing that in his Earth 2 New 52 title? We know that we're getting a Shazam book, a Charlton book (Watchmen done right according to Morrison), a Nazi one (likely where the Freedom Fighters are), and others as part of the seven Earth-specifc books of the nine-part maxi-series. It was revealed years ago that Superman was going to be through whom the readers would experience these new worlds. Now, it still makes sense for the New 52 Earth 1 Superman to be the lead of Multiversity, since he is the face of DC Comics alongside Batman, but maybe it's actually the Earth 2's Superman if the solicit for the Earth 2 series is spot on. Time will tell.
1. What's in a Name? Earth 2 Not JSA; Earth 3, 4, 5 Titles on the way? It was interesting that DC Comics chose to name its Justice Society centric series Earth 2 and not JSA or any other variation on the classic team names used DC's Golden Age heroes (Super Squad, All Stars, etc.). Now, that lends itself to the belief that marketing has aligned with storyline not just with its Earth 1 "main" New 52 Earth books, but with its multiverse. DC Comics has brought back the multiverse at the end of its first year-long weekly maxi-series 52 and explored some of those worlds in Countdown to Final Crisis and its related titles. From a marketing standpoint, to help readers, DC emblazoned numeric Earth icons on the cover of the issues where the protagonists of Jason Todd, Donna Troy, Kyle Rayner and others were "visiting". In 2012, with DC committed to making its main Earth titles successful, it makes sense that DC would also double down on its multiverse… eventually with books set exclusively on other Earths. So, if DC is committed to tapping the storyline and $ales potential of its multiverse, why not call the various multiverse set books Earth __ instead of using tiny icons on the cover to show you're not on the main New 52 Earth anymore? In the early 1980s, before the Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC had a few Earth 2 set titles on the shelves (All Star Squadron, Infinity Inc., Young All Stars) alongside its "main" Earth titles. It would seem to make sense even with a finite multiverse of 52 Earths and their universes, that other Earth titles could flourish. DC is smart to start with Earth 2 set on another world, but also with Worlds' Finest set on the "main" Earth starring strong heroines looking to get home to Earth 2. Worlds' Finest offers the promise of home, but also interesting New 52 Earth interactions: Power Girl and New 52's Supergirl, Huntress and New 52's Catwoman, etc. Through both titles, DC can make Earth 2 viable in a way it hasn't been since writer Geoff Johns left the then pre-Flashpoint Justice Society of America several years ago. If Earth 2 and Worlds' Finest are successful, and Multiversity plays out as more intergral to the New 52 than once thought, don't be surprised with other Earth __ titles on the shelves in 2013 and beyond. However, with the Curse of Shazam dubuting as a back-up in Justice League, I don't think an Earth 5 book starring the classic interpretations of the Marvel Family is coming any time soon. With that, maybe, the old Charlton characters of Earth 4 get their own book? Or does all the chatter about the Watchmen 2 Prequels (check out Bleeding Cool for more on that bit 'o news) scuttle that notion? Or could Watchmen 2 take place on Earth 4? Hmmm.
Do you have any other tidbits and factoids to share? What else have you gleaned about Earth 2, Multiversity, and/or DC's multiverse?
Speak now, savvy readers!
I hope you enjoyed this debut edition of Demythify.

The National Defense University has two primary campuses: North Campus in Washington, DC and the South Campus located in Norfolk, Va. But their students are all around the world, and thanks to the NDU iCollege, they don't miss out on anything, from guest speakers to special lectures.
From U.S. DoD Combatant Commands (COCOMS) stationed around the world, and students from Hawaii to Sweden, the NDU iCollege's video teleconferencing capabilities allow NDU to share their resources and courses more broadly.
Installed in July 2009, the NDU iCollege maintains a telepresence room equipped with a speaker lectern with interactive capabilities and 18 separate workstations with video teleconferencing screens.
"When we decided to purchase the system, it took several months to get approval and to work through security issues," Jolly Sienda, Outreach Professional at the NDU iCollege said. "Now, we can see the benefits of video teleconferencing usage with our students and stakeholders."
In the past year and a half, NDU iCollege has continued to incorporate their telepresence capabilities into various areas of the university, and seen the benefit not only to their mission, but also to their bottom line.
"For example, the capability of having a guest speaker from Washington, D.C., talk to students in Sweden without travel costs is a tremendous cost savings," Sienda said in an e-mail to Federal News Radio. "We've done this twice this year and we are planning other video teleconferences next year."
It also allows the college to provide expert faculty speakers in off-site courses, Sienda said, without having to send faculty off campus. In early 2010, the college conducted meetings with academic partners in Singapore to plan a cybersecurity conference. Even basic coordination and planning between the university's two campuses is made easier.
The NDU iCollege uses a Polycom RPX HD system, Sienda says, which further diminishes the sense of distance.
"When we are able to connect two teleconference systems, the result is very high quality, almost like you are together in person," Sienda said.
The iCollege continues to find new uses for its telepresence room, most recently adding students in Hawaii.
"Our use of telepresence continues to grow as the adoption of the technology grows throughout the Federal government and particularly within the Department of Defense," Sienda said. "This is a powerful tool for information sharing and networking with the college's students and stakeholders."

Every now and then, my son straps some plastic object onto his arm, announces that it's his Omnitrix, and then goes on a tear throughout the house, announcing that he's turning into various aliens and destroying us all.
If you're not a parent, you may find this behavior alarming. But for those of us deep in the trenches of what appeals to kids—and, particularly, what causes small boys to swoon with glee—this behavior is nothing more than typical (if slavish) devotion to Ben 10.
Being the simplistic person that I am, I thought it was enough when Bandai started making the aforementioned Omnitrix and some alien action figures. Silly me! Soon enough, there were Ben 10 vehicles, the Alien Experiment Laboratory, and even alien rocks which reveal the creatures trapped within once you submerge them in water.
Want to drive your little Ben 10 fan wild? Surf on over to Bandai's interactive Ben 10 site to watch clips and interviews, read all about the various aliens, and—of course—see great footage of the newest toys.
And now Animation Insider reports the latest Ben 10 merchandising news: Back-to-school is the next order of business.
"We are very excited to be working with Cartoon Network on their premiere boy's property, Ben 10," Steve Russo, President and CEO of FAB/Starpoint commented in a recent press release. "FAB/Starpoint prides itself on the fashion detail of every product. We are incorporating today's coolest treatments to our product lines for back to school!"
The agreement looks to cover a full line of products in relation to FAB/Starpoint's talent for creating interesting backpacks, accessories, school supplies, watches and clocks under a multi-year agreement that will have product in store for the back-to-school season.
That sounds like a pretty big undertaking. So did Cartoon Network stop there? Nope; they're striking while the iron is hot, in as many ways as they can:
Cartoon Network Enterprises has also signed a deal (in a separate matter) to help create more toys for Ben 10 through additional product licensing. Working with Pressman Toys, CNE hopes to get some really cool games and puzzles based on the incredibly popular action and adventure animated television series onto store shelves and into the homes of Ben 10 fans. A multiple-year agreement, Pressman Toys will make products related to the property that will wonderfully mesh in the plethora of toys, action figures and other uniquely designed materials based on the animated property.
It sounds like 2007 is going to be a year of Ben 10 product nirvana. As always, stay tuned to the Ty's Toy Box Ben 10 Store for the latest and greatest offerings. Just a small word to the wise—try to check it out when the kids aren't around, otherwise you're going to be hearing endless whining about how they need this action figure ("But MOM! His head lights up!") and that voice changer.
Trust me on this one.

Starring Bob Odenkirk in the title role, the series will also feature Jonathan Banks, Michael McKean, Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian and Michael Mando. "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan and executive producer Peter Gould created the show together and serve as co-showrunners of the premiere season which is set six years before Saul Goodman (Odenkirk) meets Walter White. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and, often, against Jimmy, is Mike Erhmantraut (Banks). The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer." The series' tone is dramatic, woven through with dark humor.

Amsterdam offers some of the most exciting and breathtaking experiences to be found in Europe. From picturesque tours of the city to historic monuments, fabulous museums and superb entertainment venues, Amsterdam has something for everyone to enjoy.
Cycle around the city
|Cycle around Amsterdam, Licence
In Amsterdam, bicycles are a popular and efficient mode of transport. The city itself is designed for this very purpose, with designated bike lanes and rental facilities located near every major attraction. These rental facilities supply bikes at affordable tariffs and also provide guided tours and route maps to help tourists find their way around this impressive city.
Try a canal tour
|Amsterdam canal tour, Licence
Amsterdam's seventeenth century canals were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, and are a fantastic network of waterways that weave through the city. Boat tours are available from many locations along these historic canals (you can find it here), and are a truly pleasurable way to take in the views and attractions of Amsterdam. Choose a full-day tour or the hop-on, hop-off option which enables tourists to visit places of interest and then resume the journey afterwards.
The fabulous floating flower market
|Amsterdam floating flower market, Licence
Bloemenmarkt (map) is a world-renowned flower market that sells a huge range of incredible flowers, plants and bulbs from barges that float on the Singel canal. A visit to this beautifully fragrant market is a must for any tourist. As the only floating flower market in the world, visitors flock here daily to purchase pre-packaged bulbs and colourful tulips that are the emblem of the capital. The Oudemanhuispoort Book Market offers an alternative shopping experience, and has a great selection of textbooks, novels, poetry and prints. The Albert Cuyp Markt is a popular fleamarket where quality goods can be found at bargain prices.
The Secret Garden
|Begijnhof, Amsterdam, Licence
The fourteenth century enclosed courtyard of Begijnhof (map) is quite possibly the most tranquil place to visit in Amsterdam. Despite the crowds, this old religious sanctuary that was once a convent provides a peaceful but memorable break from the chaotic streets of the capital. Tiny houses and immaculate gardens surround the courtyard, and both the Begijnhof Kapel and the Engelse Kerk, the two churches that can be found here, are definitely not to be missed.
Picnic in Vondelpark
|Vondelpark, Licence
Amsterdam is notorious for gloriously sunny days, and there is no better location for a spot of relaxing than Vondelpark (map). Boasting one hundred and twenty acres of gardens, lawns and playgrounds, Vondelpark was opened in 1865 and now receives more than ten million visitors every year. The park is an ideal location for a family picnic, and with the bandstand and open air theatre providing free entertainment and the various bars and restaurants that are dotted about, there is plenty to do here.
Enjoy the music scene

Amsterdam is home to some amazing music venues, and after all of the sightseeing and touring there is nothing more welcome than some soulful jazz music to end the perfect day.

Café Alto is also well-known for its jazz musicians, and is a wonderfully intimate venue. Whether it be day or night, Café Alto offers a constant stream of fantastic jazz music and live entertainment.
Visit an art museum
|Rembrandt House Museum, Licence
Amsterdam has some of the best galleries and museums in Europe and the Rembrandt House Museum (map), the artist's former home, showcases some of his greatest works and is a true delight to explore. The Rijksmuseum is likewise dedicated to the arts, and houses over eight thousand paintings, sculptures and historic artefacts that date back to the 1200s. Displaying many of the works by Vincent Van Gogh and other famous artists, the Van Gogh Museum is another of Amsterdam's impressive art galleries, and is the most visited museum in the Netherlands.
So, whether the aim is to tour the city by bike or by water, to take in the sights and enjoy the many historic buildings, flower displays and art museums that are on offer, or simply to unwind in one of the fantastic music venues dotted about the capital, a trip to this beautiful city is a truly memorable experience that can be enjoyed by all. And with great prices on flights to Amsterdam all year round, there's never a bad time to make a visit!

Your report on detecting longer wavelengths of red light with a modified human visual protein (15 December 2012, p 19) suggests a way for us to see auras.
If some people naturally have mutated versions of such proteins that are stimulated by infrared radiation, then the phenomenon would be possible.
The editor writes:
• We recently published a story on auras (5 January, p 13). They do exist for some people, but it's likely they stem from rewiring in the brain rather than differences in proteins in the eye.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, shown here speaking at a conference on women's leadership in the Middle East, held in Vienna, Austria in May 2007, will now be advising Khosla Ventures on its international expansion. Northfoto / Shutterstock.com
Who's next over at Khosla Ventures? George W. Bush? The pre-eminent venture capital firm has tapped a consultancy firm led by Condoleezza Rice, former secretary of State, that also includes other veterans of the Bush administration to help the firm expand into international markets.
The deal with RiceHadleyGates LLC means that the Silicon Valley-based firm led by Sun Microsystems cofounder Vinod Khosla, which specializes in clean energy and tech startups, will have the top foreign policy guns from the Bush cabinet in its employ as it expands internationally with the Middle East, China, India and Brazil on its checklist for growth.
Rice's other Bush-era partners in the consultancy are Robert Gates, former secretary of Defense, and former White House national security adviser Stephen Hadley.
"All of us at RiceHadleyGates share Khosla Ventures' vision and passion for helping the next generation of entrepreneurs change the world for the better," said Rice in a press release on the move. "We look forward to putting our experience to good use by helping Khosla's impressive portfolio companies navigate the tricky waters of political, policy, and regulatory issues around the world."
The Bush administration's foreign policy mistakes have certainly been criticized and seized upon by the Obama administration, particularly during the president's first campaign. Rice, who endorsed Mitt Romney at the Republic National Convention, critiqued the president's global performance, saying in her RNC speech that people around the world no longer know "where America stands" and that the world was a more dangerous and chaotic place because of it.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

Countdown to Christmas: Up to 70% off at Play.com
Sales seem to be two-a-penny at the moment, however one of note comes in the form of Play.com's "Biggest Ever", giving you up to 70% off certain products.
Usually when companies are citing such large reductions, the "tat alert"alarm should start ringing as you're usually faced with a whole host of bits and bobs of very little use. In fairness, however, in amongst the cheap plastic Play.com has some reasonable offers going.
Offers include the jOG body motion controller - compatible with your Wii for £6.99, the Sennheiser PX 200 for £29.99 and the Samsung BD-P1600 Blu-ray player for £139.99. All three come with free delivery and there is plenty more to choose from if you take a look around the site.
Bear in mind that all discounts are calculated from the original RRP so probably don't give a fair representation of the actual saving, but there's deals to be done if you're in the market.

Portable FB oven in Sacramento

I received this photo in the email today. Very cool -- I like the way the oven and the work surfaces are set up; and they have a great name and logo. This looks fun.
Bella Familia is in Sacramento, CA.
Re: Portable FB oven in Sacramento
thanks James - my wife and I have a couple events under our belts so far. A big thanks to Joseph at The Fire Within for all his patience with us and the great job on the oven.
Re: Portable FB oven in Sacramento
Excellent, excellent.
Do you want to share your contact information and some background on how you are running your business and the oven. This is very cool.
Also, send me email at james at fornobravo dot com, and we can set up posting links and more background information on Bella Familia on FB.com!
Nel bocca del lupo.
Re: Portable FB oven in Sacramento
While I wish I was about 50 pounds lighter or that the photographer would have airbrushed one of my chins away, here was an article from the front page of our local paper about my portable pizza oven business. I spoke to the interviewer for about 45 minutes and threw in fornobravo.com a couple times, but it didn't make it in.

Re: Portable FB oven in Sacramento
The portable ovens are a huge source of curiosity for the media...they love to latch on to something cool. Cane Rosso has been picked up on every food blog in Dallas and will be in local mags in April and May. NBC and BBC are coming to our event next week...it is a great way to prove out your recipes and test various areas for future restaurants. I will agree that Joseph and Forno Bravo have made a great product.

Being a web application, ffindr is available to everybody all over the world, all the time. This sounds sweet, but it's not enough to really address oneself to everybody. Although the Frisbee world is pretty Anglophone, it's not nice to exclude those who don't speak English. And since this application wants to be nice to everybody (i.e. nice to watch, nice to use, nice to have... just nice), ffindr is available in several languages.
Currently we have 5 languages: English, German, French, Russian and Spanish (ordered by completed translations) Big thanks at this point to
David Rosenfeld from Ireland for his corrections of the English version,
Charles Gleïzes and Christophes Brolles for straighten the French translation,
Sasha (Oleksandr Stakhovsky) from Kiev for doing the translation into Cyrillic signs (sorry but sign's all I can make of it, beautiful signs by the way), and
Mariana Otero from Maracaibo and José Antonio de los Rios from Madrid for their work on the Spanish version.
Work on two more languages has started (Polish and Italian), and why not having ffindr in your language? I invite you to join the team (either as a translator of whole parts of ffindr, or as a corrector that checks existing work), it's not about endless efforts of only a few but, about a small contribution of many that will make the difference. Thanks to the community, ffindr became what it is: a huge source of Frisbee event information. And there's still a long way to go/continue.
If you don't want to get lost in translation, just read on to see that it's pretty straight forward to translate ffindr.
Basically there are two different things to translate: firstly the interface (like all the buttons, labels, descriptions) and second the static pages (like the about, spread the word and all the other pages available in the footer). Thanks to a clean separation of content and code, there's one file that holds all the interface translation (a XML file called messages.[COUNTRY_CODE].xml), and another for each static page (a simple text file called about_[COUNTRY_CODE].txt for instance).
The first, the country specific XML file, is composed of a bunch of source / target pairs. Only the value inside the target brackets has to be translated, the rest can be ignored.
An example taken from messages.en.xml of the current ffindr homepage in English...
<target>discover frisbee events world-wide</target>
...looks in the Spanish file messages.es.xml like this:
<target>descubrir eventos de Frisbee a nivel mundial</target>
Since the content of this interface XML file is quite basic, it's the number of targets to translate -- currently 420 messages -- that makes it quite a task. Fortunately many of the short messages repeat themselves, so it's actually not this much.
The second part of translating ffindr concerns the static pages filled with whole sentences and paragraphs. An example from the help page in English...
## 2. Why should I use ffindr?
ffindr is geared towards players and organisers alike.
...will look in Russian as follows:
## 2. Зачем пользоваться ffindr?
 ffindr полезен как игрокам так и организаторам.
All the text inside the text files has been translated while the basic formatting (HTML tags, Markdown formatting) is left untouched. There's nothing more to add I guess, it's all about translating the whole text of each of the static page files into the new language.
Each of the following language packages contains the interface XML (messages.xml) plus four static text files (about.txt for about.txt, help.txt for help, spreadTheWord.txt for spread the word, and contact.txt for contact).
Just download the zipped packages to...
Hopefully with this little tutorial, you should now be well on your way to unlocking the mystery of ffindr's internationalisation, I mean the i18n..

The purpose of the policy, says the Fed, is to "avoid preventable foreclosures" in those cases where the Fed can "maximize the net present value of the assets for the benefit of taxpayers."
The idea is try to save those who can be saved — and that's not everyone. However, given that the government is now a major investor in more than 200 banks, including the biggest banks in the country, the Fed effort could potentially be the largest foreclosure rescue effort to date, and one with real impact.
The Fed policy outlines a series of steps to determine which loans can be saved and those which will be foreclosed.
Proactive Review: The Fed says "if residential mortgage assets become subject to this Policy" then the Fed or its agent (meaning the lender, servicer or originator) will take a look to see if "borrowers should be offered a loan modification."
This is hugely important because the need is to reduce the stock of foreclosed properties, inventory which holds down local home prices. Whether a home is owned by a resident or an investor makes no difference if it sits empty on your street.
This is a far-higher housing cost than the 31-percent standard the FDIC is using to modify loans that it controls from the takeover of IndyMac. The Fed standard is also far tougher than the 34-percent benchmark that Countrywide is using to modify some 400,000 mortgages — a standard worked out with a number of state attorney generals. If the Fed's goal is to modify loans to "avoid preventable foreclosures," then the natural extension of that objective should also be to avoid re-defaults, something more likely with a lower standard for housing costs.
Second Loans: Many recent borrowers purchased homes with piggy-back financing — an 80 percent first loan and a second loan for much or all of the balance. The idea was to buy with little or nothing down and avoid the cost of private mortgage insurance. An interesting strategy — if home values go up.
One area where the Fed has broken new ground is that it will consider modifications of rental properties with one to four units. This is a substantial departure from past federal modification plans and recognizes the reality that a large number of properties facing foreclosure are rentals.
The government has tried a number of efforts to rescue failing borrowers and to date there have been no successes. The hugely promoted FHASecure program resulted in 4,037 delinquent conventional borrowers who were able to refinance with FHA loans. The Hope for Homeowners program has attracted 412 applications between October 1, 2008 and January 15, 2009 — with not one loan approval.

Home > Archives for sk8 hi
We feel like we say this every week but damn these are some of the raddest Vans we've ever seen. Who knew that double dipping a pair of Sk8-Hi CA's in blue and black ink would turn out so sick? Vans knew, that's who. Get them now at The General. Detailed looks after the jump.
HighSnob broke the news on these in the beginning of June and finally the thermo-adaptive leather Jason Jessee x Vans Syndicate Sk8-Hi pack has arrived at KCDC. These buttery joints will probably not last through the weekend and are gonna be essential once the temperature drops so you might want to hit them up soon.
After giving you a look at the Vans x Parra collaboration pack the other day, we show you today the Fall 2009 Pixies Sk8 Hi.
The Pixies and their music have influenced bands across multiple genres and more importantly set a strong base for music decades after their introduction. It also helps that they started in Boston – a city close to our editors' hearts.
Expect the Vans x Pixies Sk8 Hi to release some time this summer.
Previously previewed here while attending the Bright Summer 2008 tradeshow, the Vans Slayer Pack is slowly getting into stores. The Sk8 Hi "Slayer" is the first to be available and yet another collaboration by Vans with a prolific metal band.
The Vans Sk8 Hi "Slayer" is now available at Skate Warehouse.
After presenting you yesterday the Vans Forty-Four Hi "East Coast vs West Coast" Pack and the Hosoi Legends Pack, we give you a preview today of the Spring 2009 Usugrow collaboration by Vans.
The pack consists of three sneakers – AV Sk8 Low, Sk9 Hi Pro and the Half Cab Pro. All three come in premium black leathers and feature a good amount of tonal embroidered details, created by the Japanese artist. The shirts complement the shoes and vice versa.
Look out for the Vans x Usugrow Pack at selected retailers in the coming weeks.
For the third season in a row, Vans presents a Legends Pack together with Christian Hosoi. This time they chose to work on the Sk8 Hi Vert Pro. It comes in a black and a red colorway, both featuring leather uppers, perforated side panels and the Hosoi logo tag on the tongue.
The pack is already available at Huf SF.
More images follow after the jump.
Vans presents this season the Caballero Legends Pack. Honoring Steve Caballero, the pack consists of the Half Cab Pro, Sk8 Hi and the Era. All three come in a black, dark red design, with the graphics being influenced by one of Caballero's most recognized Powell Peralta decks.
The Vans Caballero Legends Pack is now available at Flauge.
Detailed images of all three sneakers follow after the jump.

Buffalo Coffee Sandwiches Tea
"We really enjoyed the Sweet Potato Pie ($1.50), served in a perfectly small pie tin that was great to share alongside coffee, tea, and a small lunch: fresh and sweet, but not too sweet."
Have any plans for Easter? You probably do. But how about the day after Easter? Well, if you're in Western New York, there's a better than average chance that the answer is yes, thanks to Dyngus Day - also known as Easter Monday. In most parts of the world, Dyngus Day comes and goes without much notice, but Polish neighborhoods in Buffalo have been celebrating it for over 130 years, with certain venues hosting events for roughly a half-century; momentum built for a city-wide event, and an official parade started in 2006. To get into the spirit of the upcoming holidays, we decided this week to revisit the Broadway Market - one of 19 official Dyngus Day sites this year, and the starting point for the official Dyngus Day parade - as well as stop for coffee at The 2nd Cup nearby. Here's the story, along with a full interactive map of all of the sites where Dyngus Day 2009 is being celebrated.
Readers may recall that we last visited the Broadway Market months ago, finding it in rough shape: perhaps half of its vendors were open, then only partially, with very light foot traffic even on a weekend at noon. Boy, do things change at the Market when Easter and Dyngus Day approach: though the same vendors were there, so too were the other half, and business was extremely brisk. There was barely room to move between people within the now narrow aisles, as people lined both sides of each aisle waiting to buy everything from pussywillows to butter lambs. The pussywillows are used as switches, for guys and girls alike to flirt by tapping each other, and the butter lambs are traditional table items in Polish Catholic Easter meals. Our pictures show off some of this year's elaborate hand-molded lambs, offered by multiple vendors at the Market for prices between $3 and $13. Painted Easter Eggs, Polish pottery, and numerous other seasonal items were all on hand, too.
New to the Market this time was a small, temporary collection of local wineries who have set up shop on the previously closed off second floor. Vetter Vineyards from Westfield, NY was one we hadn't seen before, offering a collection of wines - including an interesting blueberry one - while Niagara Landing, Vizcarra, and The Winery at Marjim Manor all had tables set up, too. Separately, a local wine merchant was offering bottles from a number of different local wineries who weren't individually represented elsewhere upstairs. A quick trip on the escalators offers Market visitors a convenient way to sample some of the area's wines without doing a full wine tour; the bottles we saw on offer were generally affordable, selling for $10-$15 a piece.
The lead up to Easter and Dyngus Day also transforms the Broadway Market into an almost amazing snack food den. In addition to the numerous Polish and Italian desserts noted in the prior report, we spotted Crystal Beach sugar waffles being sold by the stack, and vendors such as the Bavarian Nut Company selling their glazed almonds and pecans by the bag - note: they're not as good cold in the bags as they are warm off the heating table. There were also a number of large sweet shops set up to cater to the crowds; Kelly's Country Store was just one of several that were packed from wall to wall with chocolates, jarred candies, and the like. It was amazing to see how much sugar the Market had waiting for its customers.
If you haven't been to the Broadway Market before, now's the time to visit, especially if you have Easter meal needs or haven't been shopping recently for meats or sweets. We even spotted a City restauranteur in line at one of the seafood stores buying fish - it's the only place nearby he can find good red snapper, he said. Who knows, maybe you'll find something worth bringing home, too?
Since we were in the area, we took the opportunity to stop off at a relatively new coffee shop, The 2nd Cup, to grab lunch. Located at the nicely cleaned up far end of Broadway, 2nd Cup isn't affiliated with the Canadian Starbucks-alike Second Cup, but it's commonly owned with the EM Tea Coffee Cup Cafe, a shop near Canisius on Oakgrove and Hughes. The staff are dressed in EM Tea uniforms, and the logo - a nearly empty coffee cup (get it?) on a saucer - is shared between the businesses, which like Spot Coffee's shops have made names for themselves by offering beverages, light brunch fare, and desserts alongside large rooms where members of the community can get together and talk. As we waited for our food to arrive, we found that the dining area was almost entirely filled by a meeting, which ended just as our dishes came out; like Chow Chocolat, another nearby drinks and sweets place, 2nd Cup's beautiful photo-lined brick walls, nice wood tables, and spacious seating area all give off the impression of a modern, clean, and safe locally-owned place to get a cup of coffee in the city.
The food and drinks ranged from okay to good. We really enjoyed the Sweet Potato Pie ($1.50), served in a perfectly small pie tin that was great to share alongside coffee, tea, and a small lunch; it was pretty fresh, sweet but not too sweet, and just unique enough in flavor to distinguish itself from pumpkin, taro root, and similarly sweet starchy pies. Another winner, albeit a little bit less impressive in ingredients, was the Portabella Mushroom Panini ($7), four pieces of fresh and perfectly toasted but plain white bread with provolone, roasted red peppers, onions, and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Served just right - hot - in temperature, the flavors were all spot on, with the vinaigrette adding a slightly sour tinge to the absorbent mushroom bits, but between the white bread, the goopy cheese, and the relatively small cuts of Portabella, the textures seemed a little off. It was good, but with better cheese and bread, it would have been great. We had our choice of bagged chips or a small salad with the Panini, and brought the chips home for a later snack.
A small, cardboard bowl of Jerk Chicken Soup ($3.50) was alright, a few pieces of lightly jerk-flavored chicken breast meat mixed with plenty of rice and a more traditional, creamy chicken broth. It was hot, tasted fine, and wouldn't have been identified as jerk chicken if we hadn't known to hunt for the flavor in the chunks of meat. The 2nd Cup served the soup with a sliced, outstanding croissant, which like the Panini was surprisingly good for something so simple - we alternately had the choice of an accompanying bagel. Costanzo's rolls are listed on the menu as an ingredient for the place's $4.50 deli sandwiches, and Bagel Jay's is the source for its bagels; if the rest of the bread comes from one of these guys, that would explain a lot about the quality of the food here. Less clear was the origin of 2nd Cup's desserts, which included plenty of interesting slices of $3.50 cake that appeared to be a day or so old; if there had been more than a lonely slice or so of Red Velvet left, we might have sampled that, too. The employees behind the counter were so friendly and charming that we had the odd desire to stuff ourselves trying things.
Bearing in mind that The 2nd Cup is a coffee shop, we were somewhat surprised to discover that the coffee and tea weren't fantastic. We ordered a Red Eye ($2.60), a cup of house blend coffee with an added shot of espresso, and a Chai Latte ($3.33), finding neither to be especially good or bad. Both were a little too watery; the coffee was served from a carafe rather than freshly made, and weak even with the extra espresso. Similarly, though the chai was freshly made with milk, the consistency was on the weak side and the flavor wasn't anything special. We'd lean towards Spot Coffee for drinks if we were in the area, but for a snack, we'd definitely visit again.

Boom of the iPod add-ons

(continued from previous page)
a tactic for changing the graphics that the iPod displays at startup and when synching to a computer.
In general, Apple hasn't encouraged the development of software that runs on the iPod. It has not opened up the file system that runs on the iPod or created a platform for developers to write programs that run on the iPod. But from the product's early days, companies have found ways to work around that. Among the products available are electronic bibles and foreign-language translators that work from within the iPod's music-oriented interface.
Historically, much of the iPod accessory market has focused on a few key needs: chargers, cases, speakers and the FM transmitters that allow the iPod to play through a car stereo.
"When the number of iPod owners was smaller, you had to appeal to all of them to make (an accessory) make sense," Van Harlingen said.
That said, there was less competition in the early days--all a company had to do was offer a product, and buyers lined up. XtremeMac discovered that when it came out with an early iPod case at Macworld Expo in 2002. The company's booth was mobbed, quickly selling the 1,000 cases it had ordered ahead of the show.
"It was a crazy show," Bart recalled. "We had people lined up for four days, usually 30 or 40 people at a time."
That's no longer the situation, as more and more companies make basic products, turning them into something of a commodity.
"There's going to be a need for those, but not a lot of innovation there," said Andrew Green, vice president of marketing for accessory maker Digital Lifestyle Outfitters. Instead, many longtime market players are focused on taking the iPod to new places. One of DLO's popular recent introductions has been the $149 iBoom, which turns the iPod into a boom box, creating a far more portable option than is possible with most iPod speakers.
Though the first cases showed up just weeks after the iPod was introduced, the real boom in iPod accessories began in 2003, when Apple teamed up with Belkin to create several iPod accessories. Included in that first wave were a microphone for voice recordings, a digital-camera connector and a device that allowed iPod owners to transfer files stored on flash memory cards onto their portable music players.
Belkin sold the products, while Apple built the necessary support into an upgrade to the iPod's software. Such a close partnership with an outside company was fairly unheard of from the usually secretive Apple.
"That was really unusual for Apple," Van Harlingen said. "It was something that was needed at the time, that Apple felt the market needed, so they departed from their traditions."
The other big shift, which happened around the same time, was Apple's move to a standard dock connector that has been at the base of all iPods since. Apple designed the connector to work both with Apple's dock and serve as a gateway for all kinds of third-party accessories.
"There have been capabilities in that connector from day one that are just now being taken advantage of," Van Harlingen said.
It might have seemed like overkill when Apple first included the complex 30-pin connector on the iPod, but Van Harlingen said Apple simply had a broad vision for the product. The proprietary interface gives Apple some control over what's connected to its gear, while at the same time leaving plenty of room for innovation.
And while the iPod has certainly made millions for accessory makers, Van Harlingen said the large supply of add-ons has also helped Apple's player stay ahead of a widening array of competitors.

- As far as I know this does not exist yet... what about an iJacket where you can tuck your iPod into the sleeve and maybe even have some speakers in the jacket too, like the Gap Hoodio. They could make all kinds... leather, wool, wind or rain proof, all colors... the possibilities are endless.

- I have forgotten the companies name, but they make a jacket that those features and it has controls on one of the sleeves so you never have to take the ipod out the pocket except to charge it. There is another company that makes a jacket with photovoltaic cells in the back that will charge your devices. Now if the two got together...

Prep girls basketball: Barron Collier staves off Fort Myers to advance to 6A regional final
Despite leading by double digits in the second half, the Barron Collier girls basketball team found itself in the middle of dogfight Tuesday in the Class 6A regional semifinals.
The veteran Cougars, playing in the second round of the state tournament for the fourth straight year, never got rattled. Instead, Barron Collier knocked down big shots in the fourth quarter to beat Fort Myers 60-51 at home.
The Cougars (16-13) play Saturday at Miami-Norland for the regional championship and a spot in the 6A semifinals in Lakeland.
Barron Collier led 43-30 with 70 seconds left in the third quarter. With the help of a 9-0 run, Fort Myers (22-8) clawed its way back into the game, and eventually tied it with four minutes left.
Junior Megan Langham put back an offensive rebound with 3:20 left to break the tie and give the Cougars the lead for good. Kacie Frost, also a junior, drilled a 3-pointer with 2:27 left to give Barron some breathing room on its way to victory.
"We knew we had to win after losing last year (in the semifinals)," Frost said. "We were pushing as hard as we could and trying to hits as many shots as we could."
The Cougars are in the regional finals for the sixth time in the past eight seasons. Last year Fort Myers knocked off Barron Collier on the Green Wave's floor in the second round.
"Revenge feels pretty sweet right now," Frost said with an ear-to-ear grin.
Barron looked to pull away several times, but the Green Wave did all it could to keep the game close. The Cougars led by nine at the end of the first quarter and were up 12 in the second before Fort Myers got within five points.
Langham, who had a game-high 18 points, said a 15-point win over Fort Myers in the regular season might have had the Cougars a bit overconfident.
"We came out and just thought we were going to beat them again," said Langham, who had 10 points in the first half. "We shouldn't have let up like that. We can't underestimate anyone."
After Fort Myers hit a free throw to pull within 53-49 with 2:18 left, Barron Collier played keep-away with the ball. The Cougars ran more than a minute off the clock before Langham found Brittney Lozada under the goal for an easy basket that put Barron up 55-49 with 1:14 left.
"We kept our composure when it mattered most," said Mike Hamburg, who has won three regional and two state titles in 13 years with the Cougars. "We made a lot of mistakes to let them back in the game, but give Fort Myers credit. They fought back."
Outsized by Fort Myers' two 6-footers and another 5-11 player, Barron Collier kept the ball on the perimeter. The Cougars shot 7-of-20 on 3-pointers, including three apiece from Frost and Langham.
Frost had 15 points as nine Cougars scored. Lozada added eight, all in the second half.
Jordan Lentz and Rebecca Troast each scored 11 points to lead Fort Myers. Lauren Gillingham added 10 points and nine rebounds.

Exclusive Interviews
Exclusive | BJ Penn Transcript Part 3 | "They're All Bigger Than Me At 170 But I've Never Felt Like I Can't Beat Them" | UFC NEWS
Going into UFC 152 BJ Penn has total confidence at 170lbs. BJ explains to the Pulver Brothers there are different challenges at different weight classes. Not one of his opponents ever shook his confidence and neither will Rory MacDonald.
Abel: "Just to talk about this fight a little bit. Obviously it's at 170lbs. You've had some time off to reflect on maybe coming back or not coming back at all. Was there ever anytime where you thought – Maybe I'll cut to 155lbs again, maybe even try to get a super fight even as high as 185lbs you fought even Machida at heavyweight. Weight is never an issue for you. Do you think this is the optimal fight for you at 170lbs competing with guys like Rory who might come into the ring at 185lbs?"
BJ Penn:
"The last 3 guys I fought have been 25lbs heavier than me or 185lbs – John Fitch, Matt Hughes and Nick Diaz. They're all that much bigger than me. Honestly, I never stood in from of me and thought when I walked away 'There's no way I can beat this guy'. I've never felt that kind of talent standing in front of me. I've never felt that kind of aura, that kind of ability except for the first time that I fought Jens…. I'm pumped up for this fight.
If everything goes well in this fight, I wouldn't mind. I'm going to have to drop weight to the fighting weight for this. Maybe you will see me at 155lbs one day but honestly I don't have any plans looking past this. I don't have plans for a title run or anything but you never know what the future may hold.
My last 3 a lot kept talking to me 'oh why don't you go back to lightweight?' You know what I'm kind of fat right now. I got to lose some weight and my last 3 fights I did it. I've taken at welterweight so for me to just loose the weight and go up against these fast guys.
A lot of people they ask me 'what's the big difference with the weight classes' I always say 'The bigger guys are stronger but they are slower. The smaller guys are a little weaker because they're smaller but they're quicker. Everything offers different challenges and I feel good about this whole thing. I fought my last 3 fights at 170lbs and I got no fear whatsoever of any type of size difference."

just scrap! love it!!!
"no fear" WAR BJ!!
If I may give and advice to Mr Penn, why not train with Randy Couture? And try his natural methods for packing weight while being in shape.
BJ please get a great game plan and corner. This guy Rory will ground and pound you just like GSP and Matt. Without a super bowl game plan, i don't see a good result. The last thing we want to hear is, "he pushed me into the fence"
Go get 'em Prodigy!!!
i think Penn could have won the fight against Nick Diaz and all those other big guys that he fought except for GSP. i think Penn is one of those fighters that can be almost unbeatable if he just have his gas tank right.
Unfortunately, for BJ, his time in the sun has passed. At lightweight, he was embarrassed twice by Edgar, and he has even less of a chance against Henderson. At welterweight, he's not even in the top 4. Diaz made him look terrible, and Diaz will get crushed by GSP if and when that fight happens. Condit and Rory are 2 more guys that will end up making Penn go back into retirement. BJ should go back to worrying about his daughter seeing him all busted up (as he said in the post-Diaz fight interview), and avoid legacy-tarnishing beat-downs like the one he'll get from Rory.
Say what you want about BJ, but there really is no one else like him. And I mean that in the best possible way.
I'm glad to see him back in the cage, but rory is a horrible match up for bj. Bj will win a closely contested first round, then slowly get his ass kicked as his gas tank depleats until he is either finished or just battered up, depends if its 3 or 5 rounds, as a fan of bj, I hope its 3 rounds. Rory is a young hungry fighter with a boat load of talent, looking to make a name for himself and trains w the best in the world, bj plays with his daughter, goes swimming and jogging, and tanning in the sun. I love bj but let's be real about this fight. Natural Talent isn't enough now adays, there's people w those natural talents but also spent 8 hours a day in the gym honing their talents in order to mess people up and be the best in the world.
Yes they spend 8 hours a day in the gym and then go have a little injection in order to recover and be ready the next day. Screw Tristar
BJ just needs a corner and strategy. He has never discussed his game plans. Why? because his corners have less talent then BJ. He needs a corner with more experience and knowledge, pretty hard to do. Seriously, just skill/scrapping without the best game plan will not win at this skill level and size. you need a game plan. Even a pussy game plan like Jackson's camp. Their strategies are pussy, but they usually win. Does Bj want to win, or scrap and get his ass kicked. Recently it's the later.
