The Nova Studio in Point Richmond, CA (SF Bay Area)
If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and get busy building your business empire, then there's no better place to be than The Nova Studio this October! My Spring 2014 bootcamp sold completely out and I'm thrilled to be returning to San Fransisco for round two. I'm leading a series of workshops over 4 days which are designed to completely transform your business. We're covering a wide range of topics: how to price and pitch your products to wholesale buyers, strategies for protecting your intellectual property, strategies for garnering free press + building media buzz, innovative ways to build philanthropy into your business, building your brand + identifying your ideal customers and more. This is a comprehensive curriculum that will yield results for creative entrepreneurs of all stripes and the 4-day ticket price is unbelievably reasonable. Join me in the gorgeous SF Bay area and let's infuse your business with energy + wisdom!
This event has met it's minimum threshold and there are just a few seats left...seating is very, very limited!
Sailing in the Caribbean
My favorite week of the year is almost here: the week I sleep on the balcony of a gorgeous cruise ship, awake to the sunrise, enjoy a room service breakfast and then spend the day in mastermind sessions with an intimate group of savvy, indie entrepreneurs. Throw in a pedicure, a few bottles of wine and a day of snorkeling, and Indie Cruise is my personal version of heaven.
Donna Maria of the Indie Beauty Network is hosting the fifth annual Indie Cruise and this time we're bound for St. Thomas, St. Maarten and a private island for seven days of community-building, masterminding and cocktail-ing (perhaps the most important "ing" of all). I'll be leading a workshop which teaches all about the power of live events to build your brand. It's a good time and you'll be kicking yourself if you miss it. Wherever you live, February is cold as hell. Come play in the Caribbean and build your business while your friends are freezing their tushies off back home!
Kenna Cote of Modern Soapmaking has created the mother-of-all-single-day soap conferences. I'm heading back to Kansas City for an encore engagement at CSW 2015 and I'm ridiculously excited about it. Why? Oh, let me count the ways.
One: There are two tracts this year: soapmaking and business. Marinate in more of what you love with two laser-focused programs happening simultaneously. Want to learn the latest swirl techniques? Hit up the soap lab? Want to learn empire-building from some of the brightest minds in the biz? She's got you covered.
Two: I'm teaching two 90-minute workshops on two of my most favoritest (yes, that is a word) subjects; GMP and wholesale. I'm going to be giving you a serious push in the right direction on both subjects, so you can build a smart, successful bath and body business in 2015.
Three: There's now a virtual ticket option if you can't make it to Kansas City. No, I can't deliver cocktails to your front door, but you could totally pour a glass of vino and snuggle up in your pajamas and capture all the workshops from the event at your leisure.
Four: Have you seen that speaker lineup? No seriously, HAVE YOU SEE THE SPEAKER LINEUP? Donna Maria Coles Johnson, Anne Marie Faiola and Kayla Fioravanti are some of my favorite people on the planet and some of the sharpest minds in the industry. You won't catch that speaker roster at any other event in 2015, so I highly recommend getting yourself to Kansas City.
450 beauty brands will gather in one of my very favorite cities (hello, Indy!) for 3 days of product formulation and business workshops, interspersed with swanky dinners and networking parties. This is my fifth conference and it's always a treat to see hundreds of like-minded entrepreneurs come together.
This year, I'm teaching a new 90-minute workshop entitled "The Anatomy of a Compelling Brand," where I'll dissect enormously successful brands to discover what makes them tick and teach you to apply those same principles to your brand, no matter how deep your wallet or how far you are in your entrepreneurial journey.
Even better? I'm also teaching a special half-day seminar on the 17th (separate ticket required) which dives even deeper into brand architecture. Even even better? They let me call that half-day workshop Branding for Badasses, which I would have bet money they'd never let fly. But they did… hooray! Come play.

All the Boys Love Mandy Lane wins the filmed before release category easily...
Stars Amber Heard looking smoking as usual... teen slasher with a twist type film...
Made in 2007, released this year.
Watched what I think is probably the blackest black comedy I've ever seen (and I've seen most of them) last night... "Excision."
I quite enjoyed it, but man... it is BLACK. :lol:
Seek it out if you're into that sort of movie and aren't squeamish.
May I ask what you didn't like about Upstream Color, BC?
It's the same reason I didn't care for Mulholland Drive and haven't pursued David Lynch films any further...
"All is Lost" with Robert Redford playing a role with almost no speaking lines whatsoever... a man's attempt to survive after his sailboat is damaged in the middle of the ocean.
Really enjoyed it, Redford can still carry a film.
Just watched The Last Stand on Netflix. For a dumb action movie, it was surprisingly good. As with every Schwarzenegger movie, nobody questions why a guy who looks like a body builder and has a thick Austrian accent is, in this case, a sheriff in a small Southwestern town.
I haven't seen it but Wolf of Wall Street seems to be turning people off. And DeCaprio and Johah Hill are trying to message the film's message.
I'm a big Scorcese fan but I have no desire to see it.
I turned on Jack Reacher out of curiosity, just to watch the first few minutes, and ended up watching the whole thing. I'd put it in the sister category of dumb thriller. I don't want to spoil it but, if you are a bit knowledgable about cult directors, you'll get a kick when they reveal the main bad guy for the first time.

For the first time in 20 years, the Southeastern Conference will not be split by divisions in men's college basketball next season.
If the West Oktibbeha girls basketball program had come into this summer with a theme, that theme would undoubtedly be change.
As the Northeast Mississippi Basketball Coaches Association All-Star festivities take place Saturday, there will be a definite East Webster flavor.
Mississippi State fans are one step away from being allowed to bring their cowbell to Davis Wade Stadium for the 2011 football season.

Hobbies/Interests: White Sox, Notre Dame Football, Da Bears, soccer, beer brewing, traveling, napping on my couch, and a good home cooked meal!
Why I chose Saint Joseph: St. Joe's felt like a good fit from the beginning. Every person I met was friendly and honestly interested in who I was and how they could help me become a better doctor. I was drawn to the challenging learning environment that I knew would teach me to think for myself, yet knowing that there was always someone there I could count on for help. I realized that St. Joe's would help me grow as a physician and presented me with the best opportunities to become skilled at the art of medicine.
Favorite place or activity in Chicago: Grilling on my back porch
If I had not gone into medicine what I would be doing now: Anthropologist
The best vacation I've ever taken was: Every vacation is fun, but the best one has to be my most recent. I drove an RV with some friends to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, and proposed to my now fiancé during the trip. A vacation definitely to remember.

"SC sets the bar for content and events in this industry," reported one delegate.

NEWARK, Del., April 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- iBio, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: IBIO) announced that its proprietary iBioLaunch™ technology for the production of biotherapeutic proteins and vaccine antigens in whole green plants has been used to produce a functional monoclonal antibody copy of palivizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) glycoprotein fusion protein (F), and inhibits viral entry into cells. Palivizumab is used to reduce RSV associated hospitalizations, but its high cost limits treatment to high-risk infants who receive monthly intramuscular injections throughout the RSV season. Worldwide annual sales of palivizumab exceed $900 million.
Scientists at iBio's research and development partner, Fraunhofer USA Center for Molecular Biotechnology, have expressed the antibody heavy and light chains in green tissues of plants using an iBioLaunch vector system developed for multi-chain proteins such as antibodies. The expression of palivizumab in plants resulted in self-assembly of the appropriate antibody quaternary structure, which was then recovered from the plant tissue.
iBioLaunch-produced palivizumab was shown to bind inactivated RSV, indicating that it recognizes F antigen presented on the virus' surface. Furthermore, plant-produced palivizumab was demonstrated to have a dose-dependent RSV neutralizing activity in a plaque reduction neutralization test. The effective concentration to observe 50% plaque reduction is comparable for plant-produced palivizumab to that reported for palivizumab manufactured in recombinant mammalian cells. The virus neutralizing activity observed is specific to palivizumab, as demonstrated with the use of an unrelated, plant-produced monoclonal antibody as a negative control for any plant-specific activity.
The production of functional palivizumab in plants extends the n

A Palm Beach landmark, built in 1924 as a casino, this north end hotel has the feel of an Italian villa. All rooms are equipped with comfortable pillow-top mattresses, custom-embroidered European linens and towels, and polished hardwood floors. There are also high-tech touches like flat-screen TVs and full modern kitchens (only in suites). Outside you'll find a tranquil setting in the courtyard and tropical gardens. Trevini Ristorante, a former Worth Avenue restaurant, is on the first floor and offers guests discounts. Shops, other restaurants, and galleries are close by along Poinciana Way. The Palm Beach Bike Trail begins across the street.

Not what you expect on Palm Beach! Their website is misleading, so beware. You think you are going to be staying in a nice Palm Beach hotel, but it's more like a musty old house. ?I was planning on spending a week, but checked out after one night and paid an early departure penalty. ?I stayed in a Suite, so not their cheapest room and the windows didn't open. The hotel is lacking in basic hotel expectations and customer service. The front
desk isn't open 24 hrs. There was no one to help bring my bags to my room. The suite had a full kitchen, but there were no plates, silverware or paper towels. Their restaurant is very limited and there was no room service menu provided. The internet was not available in my room as advertised and there was no proper common area for internet access. They expect you to sit in a tiny foyer with no work area. Also, there is no fitness center as advertised. The tv in the bedroom was outdated and tiny.... not up to today's standards.? When I returned home, I contacted the hotel three times and was told the manager was going to refund my early departure penalty and call me, but I received neither. ?I was very disappointed with this hotel, their attitude and zero customer service.? There are so many deals out there, be advised, you can do much better for your money than the Bradley Park Hotel.
No Thanks

Unable to add network driver to WinPE 2.1 Boot Image on DS 6.9 SP1
We recently changed our standard desktop model to the HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF. I tried to get one of these new pc's to PXE boot for image deployment, received the "retrying DHCP" message, and knew I had to update our WinPE Boot Image to include the new driver.
I downloaded the driver from HP, extracted it, then went through the Altiris Boot Disk Creator Wizard to edit our current boot image. I get into step two, click the "have disk" button to add the driver, browse for the driver I have just extracted, it properly shows me the list of drivers to be installed from the .inf file I have selected. I click ok, and there is a short delay while it appears that the driver is being added. However, the number of device drivers stays at the 1256 it was prior to performing this step. When I uncheck the "auto detect all device drivers" box, and browse the driver files, I do not see my driver listed there. This box is checked for the purposes of our WinPE image.
I have tried to just go ahead and save this image, but of course it does not work.
I have not had to do this in over a year, which was also the first and only time I was shown how to do this. Am I missing any steps here?
Any assistance/feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Fellow Altiris DS User,
I too had the same issue you are reporting and I was able to solve by using the following instructions:

Ice and cold packs can relieve pain, swelling, and inflammation
from injuries and other conditions, such as arthritis.
Apply an ice or cold
pack to the injured or sore area at least 3 times a day for as long as you have
pain, swelling, and inflammation. For the first 72 hours, ice for 10 minutes,
once an hour. After that, use ice for 15 to 20 minutes, 3 times a day: in the
morning, in the late afternoon after work or school, and about one-half hour
before bedtime. Also, ice after any prolonged activity or vigorous
Always keep a cloth between your
skin and the ice pack, and press firmly against all the curves of the affected
area. Do not apply ice for longer than 15 to 20 minutes at a time, and do not
fall asleep with the ice on your skin.
Commercial cold packs are
too heavy and bulky for use on or around the eye. Be careful around the eye to
prevent a chemical burn to the eye if a pack leaks.

Amy's Gran Fondo
Australia finally gets an authentic Gran Fondo
Re: Amy's Gran Fondo
incidentally, the patron of AGF was my PE teacher at school for a year or two. he was a machine who was rumoured to have held a world record for rowing ergo machine output. i'm impressed with where he's taken AGF, but sad to hear about his loss.
Re: Amy's Gran Fondo
Typically it falls on a non negotiable day for me... lets hope it's successful and next years lands on a different date!
Re: Amy's Gran Fondo
The Gran Fondos are coming:
Re: Amy's Gran Fondo
Great to ride on closed roads, decreases the amount of idiots to be dealt with
Can I have some of these?
Re: Amy's Gran Fondo
Is it though? I just had a read of their information and it says everywhere that it's not a race etc etc. I thought the idea of a Gran Fondo that t's essentially a race for amateurs with staggered start times to prevent congestion. Maybe I've got that wrong?
Re: Amy's Gran Fondo
It is a race: http://www.amygillett.org.au/gran-fondo-competition
Has the timing and prize amount in it. You will be issued with a timing device in the briefing sessions held on the Saturday.
If you download the regs. your entry also includes a 12 month "Sport" license.
- David.
Re: Amy's Gran Fondo
It's a race. The annual Amy's Rides aren't, but this one is. Hopefully it's running next year, finances a little low atm and I've already signed up for the ATB 135km, and will barely be in shape for that one!

History: Case back to US Court of Appeals following remand for fashioning relief in favor of Naval; Naval appeals as judgment failed to award greater profits; Berkley crossappeals from judgment as a whole and such parts of it as awarded moneys to Naval Facts: Naval entered into a licensing agreement w/Berkley in Sept 1984 granting Berkley the exclusive license to publish Red October "not sooner than October 1985"; Berkley shipped early and paperback sales began in Sept 1985 Issue(s): Was there copyright infringement against Naval? No What was Naval's actual contract loss? Holding: Case dismissed at trial court level; On remand, district court awarded Naval $35,380.50 in damages and $7,760.12 as profits wrongfully received by Berkley; US Court of Appeals reverses the award of profits and affirm the award of damages Analysis: Purpose of damages for breach of contract is to compensate the injured party for the loss cause by breach and these damages are usually measured by the Plaintiff's actual loss; However, sometimes Defendant's profits are used to measure damages; breach of contract remedies are compensatory and not punitive; Berkley gets to get their profits b/c they are not being punished; looked at August sales compared to September sales, assuming trend didn't change; assumed sales would have been the same in August and September if there hadn't been a breach, even though probably would not have sold the same amount, but gave them the profits they would have had had the paperback not come out; no way to have an exact amount;

If you could, how would you change the law?
Cohn said, "Right now, I would change the idea that, because you use a service provider for your email or social networking, somehow the information that the entity has about you as a byproduct of the service is not protected by the fourth amendment [which protects us against unreasonable searches and seizures]. I think it is.
"I would create a world in which people's expectations about the tools that they're using and their activities online really match the kinds of privacy protections that people actually have."
UPDATED: Here is part two.

(PRWEB) August 14, 2014
The Corporate Whistleblower Center is urging healthcare professionals in physical therapy, medical practice group management, hospice, imaging, or those who work for a dialysis center to call them at 866-714-6466, if they possess substantial proof their employer is over-billing, or defrauding Medicare out of hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars per year. The rewards for this type of information can be significant.
For example, in April 2014, the Justice Department announced two companies that operate physical therapy clinics in Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Maryland, along with three individuals associated with the businesses, have agreed to pay the United States $2.78 million to settle allegations that the firms' billings to Medicare and the TRICARE health care program violated the False Claims Act.
The settlement resolves allegations that, between January 2007 and August 2012, the companies submitted claims which falsely represented that the physical therapy services being billed were either rendered or directly supervised by the physical therapist identified on the claims by his or her National Provider Identifier (NPI) number. In reality, the physical therapist identified on the claim had no involvement whatsoever in the services rendered. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com
The Corporate Whistleblower Center says,"For whatever reason physical therapy workers, or healthcare workers have been very interested in this topic. As we would like to explain, you do not have to be the CFO of a healthcare provider to know that Medicare over-billing is happening, and it is happening a lot. In the example we provided, it could be an insider at a physical therapy clinic, a hospital insider, a manager of a larger medical practice group, an employee of a hospice service, or any other type of healthcare company that is over-billing Medicare. As long as the fraud, or over-billing, is in the hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars, we want to know about it.
"If you are a healthcare professional, and you posses well documented proof of Medicare Fraud, please call us at 866-714-6466, and we will get you up to speed on federal whistleblower reward programs, and provided the information is sufficient, we will get you in contact with some of the nation's top whistleblower attorneys." http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com
In this case, the whistleblowers will receive more than $400,000 as their reward.
Simple rules for a whistleblower from the Corporate Whistleblower Center:
Any type of insider, or employee, who possesses significant proof of their employer, or a government contractor fleecing the federal government is encouraged to contact the Corporate Whistleblower Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or they can contact the group via their web site at http://CorporateWhistleBlowerCenter.Com

'Price tag' settler argues in court that revenge isn't a crime
You would think that sentencing a group of Israelis for setting fire to a Palestinian cafe is a positive development. But a closer look shows that the culture of minimizing the seriousness of price tag attacks is alive and strong. Were people's lives and livelihoods not at stake, it would have been an almost sublime piece of parody. During the trial of four teenage Israeli settlers who set fire to a Palestinian-owned cafe in the West Bank town of Dura, which concluded on Monday, the defendants' attorneys - as reported by Ynet - brought forth the claim that because the arson was…Read More... | 8 Comments

Favorite Movies
Here is my list for my favorite movies ever (in no particular order) along with my respective opinion on each one of 'em.
*in construction
Here is my list for my favorite movies ever (in no particular order) along with my respective opinion on each one of 'em.
*in construction
I don't care what the charlatans from Rotten Tomatoes say, this movie was amazing from start to finish. Henry Cavill does a amazing job as Superman, they avoid the typical cliches and pitfalls that come with Superman stories and the fight scenes are pure DBZ.
I gotta say, I had no expectations when I went to see Batman Begins for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised.
Once again I was surprised how Nolan managed to outdo himself and when so many people were hating on Heath Ledger for him being chosen as the Joker being shut up by his performance.
Haterz gonna hate. I can't see what better way to close a trilogy like this movie did.
This coming from a guy who doesn't like Joss Whedon's works, I don't recall having so much fun in a movie like this movie. Every five seconds my audience was having a hell of time laughing with the jokes and the climax is pure badass.
If it weren't for Blade, we wouldn't have superheroes movies as we know today. Blade is both a great superhero and vampire movie.
Even better than the first movie, so much that its a sequel that can stand on it own as a movie.
Yes, this movie was a epic box office bomb. Yes, it seems painfully derivative and yes, the marketing destroyed any interest anyone might had in the movie. Most of the cliches associated with the science fiction today originated in John Carter.
What is best in life? Crush enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women. This movies deviates a lot from the source material, but forms a identity of its own that inadvertently becomes more popular than the books it was based on.
X-Men 2 is one of my favorite superhero movies ever. Allan Cummings is simply brilliant as Nightcrawler, the opening sequence is in my opinion one of the best I've seen.
Yeah, yeah, I know. Its a stupid action flick, but is a damn fun one to sit through.
And yes, I enjoyed the movie too. I think nostalgia is a big factor here.
This might sound like heresy, but I do like this movie a lot, even more than Allan Moore's graphic novel.
This movie is such epic improvement over the past X-Men movies its not even funny. This self-contained story can stand on its own and you gotta have balls to take away the adamantium from Wolverine's claws.
They said it was impossible to pull off a Watchmen movie. Not only they succeed, but the ending here was better than in Allan Moore's novel and made more sense.
I thought this movie was going to suck hard. Specially when the trailers reminded me so much of Priest. I was lucky to get a pre-screening on my town before it was replaced by something else. This movie was so badass, its tragic how it bombed so hard in the box office.
MK stands out among so many video-game based movies that is very entertaining. At that point, the games didn't have much of a characterization to begin with so the movie helped establish them (just look at the story mode for MK 9 and you will know). Even if you like martial arts movies, you won't be disappointed.
Leaving out the fart jokes (which is unfortunately plentiful), this movie is a very underrated superhero parody.
This movie is a probably answer to what would happen if the bad guys in Blade Trinity won. A very interesting look to a world populated by vampires, where the civilization adapted to the change and remained largely unchanged from the previous one, only that humanity is being hunted to provide nourishment.
Once again with the adaptation being more entertaining than the source material.
I am a sucker for fantasy movies. Deal with it. Besides it has Hercules in it :D
Romance notwithstanding, this movie is impeccable in visuals, soundtrack and being the closest you can get to the book.
Okay, I don't like this movie on the same way as the other examples. Its more of guilty pleasure, cause I know its stupid but I enjoyed it regardless.

Trout did NOT put a serious beatdown on Delvin Rodriguez and he is not going to put one on Canelo..There is certainly a chance he can outbox him but lets get real Trout is not some sort of KO puncher and most of his rep is off Cotto which is a BIG win but it would be bigger if he was not facing Miguel coming off a loss to FMJ…Guys hate Canelo so suddenly Trout is the most dangerous guy in boxing? He is a very good fighter by the looks of it but this is going to be a tough fight for him Canelo is a solid puncher and he is technically sound… AGAIN sleep on him if you will the result might be surprising..Posted March 14, 2013 6:30 pm
Mad Scientist, just because some of us think Trout is gonna put a serious beat down on Canelo, doesn't make us haters.Just because I describe Canelo as robotic with movement like Frankensteins monster,doesn't mean it's not true.I happen to think Alvarez could become a great champ given time,but right now he's a work in progress,with a good arsenal, but with serious flaws.So far he's been matched against very overmatched opponents,now suddenly he wants Floyd.This is what hacks fans off.Trout will be the first measuring stick of Canelo's worth.I think this fight is about 2 years too soon for Canelo.It seems like GBP are keen to cash out with him.Canelo is just too easy to hit,and I just see Trout picking him off all night,with Canelo getting frustrated mid rounds and exhausted and bloodied in the later rounds.I could be completely wrong.Posted March 14, 2013 2:53 am
The Mad Scientist
No doubt, Trout just might be able to pull off a win against Canelo but no way he ko's Alvarez or put a serious ass beating on him like some of the haters would hope or like to think..Posted March 13, 2013 8:42 pm
te tumbo
"Golden Boy said NO to Mayweather"? i could've sworn that Mayweather rejected the guaranteed matchup in September should Canelo defeat Trout(?). anyway, Martinez may be elusive but Mayweather is not so much at 154lbs. this is where his grappling and counterpunching skills have come in handy. in either case, i favor both Martinez and Mayweather in matchups v. Alvarez but like a true fight-fan, demand to actually see it happen in a Boxing ring.Posted March 13, 2013 6:50 pm
te tumbo – Problem is Trout doesn't stand still like Lopez, Mosley or all the other walking punching bags Canelo has fought…that's why they didn't wanna fight Martinez, 'cause Canelo NEEDS a fighter who stands still and allows themselves to be hit…another reason Golden Boy said NO to Mayweather…he's too elusive. Same with Chavez, he needs someone who's willing to bang it out, what happened when he was matched with "a mover"?? He lost 11.5 rounds, STRAIGHT. Canelo CAN surely win, but we don't know if he will 'cause so far his opponents were hand picked for him to win and look good.Posted March 13, 2013 5:30 pm
Trout by TKO.Easy nights work against the slayer of Borrowers and shopworn Hobbits….if anyone thinks Trout doesn't have the firepower to keep Ginger Frankensteins Monster off him, you are sadly mistaken, Trout will either stop The Copper Robot on cuts or spark the stiff out cold…Posted March 13, 2013 5:02 pm
it's a good matchup and the winner will be avoided no doubt, except by fighters in higher wt. divisionsPosted March 13, 2013 4:28 pm
te tumbo
Canelo will be "exposed" as not being the dominant force at 154lbs if Trout wins. combined "Ws" v. Cotto and Canelo will establish Trout as that fighter. that is, if you doN'T consider Canelo a "hype job". otherwise, a Trout win will prove nothing(?) to some posters on this thread. however, i just don't see Trout being able to discourage Canelo over 12 rounds during which i anticipate that Canelo will repeatedly test Trout's chin and gut. he does it well and i think it's all that's necessary to defeat Trout.Posted March 13, 2013 3:47 pm
Alvarez was game for a Williams or Kirkland type, Trout in a unification match should silence the reasonable critics its a good fight… Austin is a big Jr MW and he can box, I lean towards Alvarez but I think he is going to have to take some counters to ultimately get the job done..Posted March 13, 2013 3:21 pm
Ghetto Thug
who has canelo beaten that everybody says he is the next big thing?? i hope this hypejob gets exposedPosted March 13, 2013 2:43 pm
stupid loser
te tumbo, no question Alvarez is obviously willing and desires to fight the top of the division. Trout will be a great test to gauge how he is likely to do moving forward.Posted March 13, 2013 2:27 pm
te tumbo
Btw, there can no longer be ANY doubt that Team Alvarez is making the logical moves to claim 154lb supremacy. they challenged Williams, Kirkland, Cotto, Mayweather, and now Trout. Canelo was not to blame for any of these matchups falling through and deserves full credit for confirming the mini-showdown v. Trout. nothing soft or lame about Canelo's game and he's willing to prove it in a Boxing ring.Posted March 13, 2013 1:49 pm
te tumbo
"Funny how you call Cotto a 'undersized ring-worn gatekeeper', yet you were ALL for Canelo fighting him" ABSOLUTELY. i wanted nothing more than for Canelo to be the one to pound Cotto into official gatekeeper status. Trout plucked Cotto out of Canelo's basket and will now collect the beating meant for Cotto. i don't know what Trout's boosters are so excited about(?). believe me, Canelo is supPosed to defeat Trout and in lieu of a Mayweather, Kirkland, or Martinez, he's become the worthiest of unproven contenders for Canelo to bolster his own claim to 154lb supremacy. a Trout win will be nothing less than an upset.Posted March 13, 2013 1:46 pm
stupid loser
This seems to go outside the norm of boxing today, matching up a top hyped prospect with a "potential" dangerous challenge. So kudos to GBP for willing to make this fight for the fans. I can't wait to see if Canelo can live up to the hype or if the Trout win over Cotto means anything. Can't wait to see this fight.Posted March 13, 2013 1:43 pm
Canelo like Chavez Cheato Jr is about to get exposed…Posted March 13, 2013 1:26 pm
Martinez would knock he Red Food Coloring out of Canelos fake Red hair…Posted March 13, 2013 1:24 pm
Canelo could barely impress vs 43 year old tiny Mosely.. Mosely was tagging Canelo at will and backing him up.. I think he will have his hands full fighting a guy his true size..Posted March 13, 2013 1:22 pm
The Mad Scientist – NO WAY Canelo fights Martinez if he gets passed Trout….NO WAY!! Canelo's already said "we wanted a fight with Martinez, but we figured his style wouldn't be ideal for my style"…in other words, "I won't look good fighting Martinez, so I won't fight him". C'mon! Martinez wouldn't let Canelo rain down punches like he usually does, Martinez would box circles around Canelo.Posted March 13, 2013 12:08 pm
te tumbo – Funny how you call Cotto a "undersized ring-worn gatekeeper", yet you were ALL for Canelo fighting him, even after he lost to Trout….weakness! This IS Canleo's FIRST true 154lb foe. Should be interesting.Posted March 13, 2013 12:05 pm
Finally, this fraud alvarez is going to fight a fresh "potential" fighter — as compared to the old over-the-hill or "c" rated fighters. Trout wins easily.Posted March 13, 2013 11:08 am
te tumbo
"This is the first time his fighting a legitimate 154lbs champion" and precisely what makes Trout so much more legit at 154lbs? this sounds like the ignorant pap that had Lara at the pinnacle of 154lb contention . . . until he fell flat v. fellow contender Vanes. Trout is a steppingstone for which Canelo has been criticized before for fighting and his predictable win v. a ringworn, undersized, 154lb gatekeeper like Cotto doesn't make Trout particularly "legitimate". however, until the likes of Martinez steps up or down, Canelo might as well proceed to unify and claim 154lbs for himself. Trout is simply the first step towards that goal . . . unless Canelo is robbed by notoriously shady American reffing and scorecards.Posted March 13, 2013 9:31 am

Interesting fight choice 4 Canelo? A Mayweather fight was all but a done deal, a lose here could b very costly. Gd on Canelo 4 taking this fight. This fight is any1s, Canelo is use 2 being the bigger guy this will test him…Posted March 12, 2013 8:45 pm

This is a good fight. Looking at Zilla's point; I won't buy a PPV BECAUSE I also love the sport. Put on a great card and I will pay but I ain't gonna out my hard earned cash in the promotors pockets if the best fighters aren't gonna take on the high level competition. Where would boxing be without Frazier v Ali, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard and Duran all facing each other? The best guys in divisions need to fight each other in order for Champions to become legends.Posted March 12, 2013 7:37 pm
Trout with the easy win. Canelos only chance is getting a gift decision.Posted March 12, 2013 5:30 pm

If Canelo can beat Trout in impressive fashion I say he should fight Sergio Martinez next in September..big wins for Canelo against Trout and Martinez in 2013 will turn him into the sport's next superstar IMO but it remains to be seen..anyway, I got Canelo beating down Trout during the later rounds on their bout to secure himself a UD win.Posted March 12, 2013 5:29 pm
LOL whats won with canelos head ..? And Largothetic there was nutting narrow about austins win over cotto ….Posted March 12, 2013 5:24 pm
The reason this fight is so compelling is that Trout is young, in his prime, undefeted, and bigger than Canelo. If Canelo wins, he'll be THE man at 154. And that includes Floyd.Posted March 12, 2013 5:21 pm
I watched the Trout/Cotto fight & I fail to see what was so impressive about narowly beating a Cotto on his last legs…Canelo is young & vibrant & has good skills, he'll win this one without major difficulty.Posted March 12, 2013 4:56 pm
Good match up props to both fighters. How great would boxing be if the best always fought the best. The tops guys never want to fight the best competition. We are the ones to blame for paying for the pay per view fights, I know Mayweather could fight stiffer competition on May 4 yet I will still order the fight just for the love of the Sport…Posted March 12, 2013 4:08 pm

Como todos, soy ignorante del resultado final de esta pelea. Algunos apuestan duro a Trucha, como Dan Ambrosio, (Joto). Y yo como fans del boxeo, y Mexicano, como muchos, Apostamos al Canelo. Viva México Cabrones. Yo creo que va a ganar el Canelo por KO, y si gana la Trucha va a ser por decicion dividida. Es una apuesta dificil, pero confio y recomiendo al Canelo. Saludos al Pueblo de los U.S.A. y a los Afroamericanos, Grandes boxeadores. Saludos a mis Paisanos y al Pueblo Mexicoamericano, un reconocimiento a su Valor y Tenacidad. Y que gane el mejor…(Canelo).Posted March 12, 2013 2:01 pm

pressure is on Canelo. he's supPosed to prevail in this matchup, which won't necessarily elevate his status among believers or doubters. although, it will re-bolster his "dibs" on Mayweather that he appears desperate to enforce. anyway, Trout's weakness is Canelo's strength and Alvarez will turn this into a grueling 12-round bout that should compel Trout to wilt by the 7/th/8th resulting in a somewhat routine "W" for Canelo. anything less would be a notable upset and cred for Trout whose credibility is being stretched to the utmost to contrive any degree of suspense for this bout. IMO, a steppingstone for Canelo who should be targeting the likes of Martinez instead. now THAT is a risky and dangerous matchup for which i favor Martinez.Posted March 12, 2013 1:48 pm

I'm glad this fight wasn't canceled. I heard that Canelo had pulled out of the Mayweather PPV and figured the fight was off. This should be a good fight!Posted March 12, 2013 1:31 pm

Color me shocked, I didn't see Team Golden Boy taking this fight. It will be a good one and I'm looking forward to watching it.Posted March 12, 2013 1:00 pm
Finally a great fight. Kudos to both guys and their management for stepping up to the plate. Canelo has home edge but Trout can overcome this and win.Posted March 12, 2013 12:13 pm

Bidvest Makes Unsolicited Bid to Buy Caixa's Mercantile Bank
June 30 (Bloomberg) -- Bidvest Group Ltd., owner of South Africa's biggest money changer, offered to buy Mercantile Bank Holdings Ltd. to expand in consumer and retail banking.
The 35.5 cents-a-share offer is 69 percent more than Mercantile's weighted average share price over the past 30 days, the Johannesburg-based target said in a statement to the stock exchange today. The offer values Mercantile at about 1.4 billion rand ($207 million), according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Caixa Geral de Depositos owns 92 percent of Mercantile. A spokesman at the Lisbon-based lender couldn't immediately comment on the offer.
Mercantile rose 5 cents, or 25 percent, to 25 cents at the 5 p.m. close in Johannesburg trading. Bidvest shares dropped 95 cents, or 0.6 percent, to 150.50 rand.

New York Islanders forward Matt Martin immediately called the New Jersey Devils training staff to come out on the ice after knocking out Devils forward Tom Kostopoulos in a first period fight during Monday night's game in Newark. Kostopoulos challenged Martin after Martin decked his Devils teammate Steve Gionta. Martin dropped Kostopoulos with only three punches. Kostopoulos stayed down for a while before being helped off the ice. Although Kostopoulos did not return to the game, he was talking and answering questions afterwards. Both players got five minute majors for fighting. The Islanders won the game 3-1. Video via HockeyFightsHD. H/T PD. Visit us at holdoutsports.com and follow us on Twitter @HoldoutSports.

Clinical Data Presented at the 2009 ASCO Meeting
INDIANAPOLIS, May 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Semafore Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a privately held cancer drug discovery and development company, today presented data from a Phase I clinical trial of its vascular targeted pan-PI3K/mTORC1/2 inhibitor, SF1126, at the 2009 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, being held in Orlando, Florida.
Dr. E. Gabriela Chiorean, from the
Pharmacodynamic analysis of tumor tissue confirmed inhibition of the PI3K pathway by complete absence of a downstream target (pS6). In contrast, a normal tissue (skin) demonstrated no inhibition providing evidence of tumor selectivity of SF1126. Pharmacokinetics displayed dose proportionality and no accumulation between cycles.
SF1126 was well tolerated. The most common side effects were grade 1 or 2 vomiting (42%), nausea (39%), diarrhea (33%), fever (22%), fatigue (19%), chills (14%), and puritis (11%). There were two patients with grade 3 toxicity, one with diarrhea, the other with urticaria and pruritis. Notably, there were no clinically significant changes in glucose or insulin levels reported.
"Based on these Phase I results we are encouraged that SF1126 is well tolerated and may hold promise for the treatment of solid tumor maligna

I often work with companies who want to measure the effectiveness of their leaders but don't have a plan that they are confident in for how to do that. Too often we resort to downstream results, such as sales numbers, as our only way of determining if our people are good leaders or not. The problem with only using the bottom line to measure leader effectiveness is that leaders are responsible for not just the what, but the how. It also doesn't give us any indication of how new leaders that have only been in their role for a short period of time, are impacting the bottom line. As a result, if sales, profit, or growth are our only measurement of how leaders perform in our business, we don't really have a measurement. We've probably all seen situations where leaders can get a team to hit numbers for a while, and even drive short-term growth, but down the road we learn that they used management techniques that cost us more in terms of retention, employee satisfaction, or HR issues than they could ever make up for in dollars. Those things affect our culture and our future, and if we put a price on those things, I'm confident the bad managers would cost a company far more than they generate. If you doubt this is true, take a look at this infographic from INC. Magazine.
Just one stat from the research shows that 33 percent of employees admit to doing less than their best for a bad boss. Admit might also be a key word here. But how do we determine how good the leaders in our organization are? Is it a gut feeling? And yes, I've heard that answer when I pose the question. Is it how well their own boss likes them? What others say? If we can't measure them well, how do we identify leaders for promotions, succession planning, or even development?
Here are some other tools to consider as you think about determining who the best leaders are in your organization.

Leigh was in eighth grade when the mean messages started. The emails, texts, and posts got worse. It was so bad that she eventually changed schools.
Leigh says she has come through the experience more self-aware and compassionate toward others. It was a terrible time, she says, but with some counseling and support from adults and friends, she was able to make sense of what happened to her.
Most people know about cyberbullying. Here are some suggestions on what to do if you, or someone you know, is involved.
Cyberbullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. Online threats, rude texts, and mean tweets, posts, or messages all count. So does posting personal information or videos designed to hurt or embarrass someone else.
Cyberbullying also includes photos, messages, or pages that don't get taken down, even after the person has been asked to do so. In other words, it's anything that gets posted online and is deliberately intended to hurt.
In some situations, cyberbullying is considered harassment. Intimidation or mean comments that focus on things like a person's gender, religion, sexual orientation, race, or physical differences fall into this category. Whether it's done in person or online, this type of meanness counts as discrimination and is against the law in many states. That means law enforcement could get involved, and bullies may face serious penalties.
Some schools or other organizations might make a distinction between bullying and harassment. That's because of legal differences and definitions. But to the person being harassed or bullied, there's no real difference — it's painful to go through, no matter what you call it.
Online bullying can be particularly damaging and upsetting because it's usually anonymous or hard to trace. People can be tormented on a 24/7 basis — anytime they check their phone or computer. Sometimes, they might not know what's being said behind their backs or where the meanness is coming from.
Online bullying and harassment can be easier to commit than other acts of bullying because the bully doesn't have to confront his or her target in person.
Because of the role technology plays in our lives, there is often no place to hide from bullies. Online bullying can happen at home, school, or anywhere else people go online.
Sometimes, online bullying, like other kinds of bullying, can leave people at risk for serious problems: Stress from being in a constant state of upset or fear can lead to problems with mood, energy level, sleep, and appetite. It also can make someone feel jumpy, anxious, or sad. If someone is already depressed or anxious, cyberbullying can make things much worse.
It's not just the person being bullied who gets hurt. The punishment for cyberbullies can be serious. More and more schools and after-school programs are creating systems to respond to cyberbullying. Schools may kick bullies off sports teams or suspend them from school. Some types of cyberbullying may violate school codes or even break anti-discrimination or sexual harassment laws, so a bully may face serious legal trouble.
Why would someone be a cyberbully? There are probably as many reasons as there are bullies themselves.
Sometimes, what seems like online harassment may be accidental. The impersonal nature of text messages, posts, and other ways of communicating online means it can be hard to figure out if someone is joking or not.
Most people know when they're being bullied, though, because bullying involves relentless insults or threats. The people doing the bullying know they've crossed a line too. It's not a one-off joke or insult — it's constant harassment and threats.
If you're being bullied, harassed, or teased in a hurtful way — or know someone who is — there is no reason to suffer in silence. In fact, you absolutely should report upsetting IMs, emails, texts, etc.
Tell someone. Most experts agree: The first thing to do is tell an adult you trust. This is often easier said than done. People who are cyberbullied may feel embarrassed or reluctant to report a bully. Some may hesitate because they're not 100% sure who is doing the bullying. But bullying can escalate, so speak up until you find someone to help.
Most parents are so concerned about protecting their kids that sometimes they focus on taking all precautions to stop the bullying. If you're being bullied and worry about losing your Internet or phone privileges, explain your fears to your parents. Let them know how important it is to stay connected, and work with them to figure out a solution that doesn't leave you feeling punished as well. You may have to do some negotiating on safe phone or computer use — the most important thing is to first get the bullying under control.
You can also talk to your school counselor or trusted teacher or other family member. If the bullying feels like it's really getting you down (like if it's affecting your sleep or concentration), counseling can help. If you're not ready for that, you can still benefit from the support of a trusted adult.
Walk away. What you've heard about walking away from a real-life bully works in the virtual world too. Ignoring bullies is the best way to take away their power, but it isn't always easy to do (both in the real world and online).
If you see something upsetting, try to step away from the computer or turn off your phone for a while. Don't respond (or forward the message to someone else). Find something to distract yourself from what's going on. Do something you love that doesn't give you time to think about what's happening, like playing the guitar, going for a run, or immersing yourself in a book or movie. You can also just chat with a parent or sibling or play with a pet.
Taking a break like this allows you to keep things in perspective and focus on the good things in your life. It also gives you time to figure out how you want to handle things.
Resist the urge to retaliate or respond. Walking away or taking a break when you're faced with online bullying gives you some space so you won't be tempted to fire back a response or engage with the bully or bullies. Responding when we're upset can make things worse. (Standing up to a bully can be effective sometimes, but it's more likely to provoke the person and escalate the situation.) Taking a break gives the power back to you!
Although it's not a good idea to respond to a bully, it is a good idea to save evidence of the bullying if you can. It can help you prove your case, if needed. You don't have to keep mean emails, texts, or other communications where you see them all the time — you can forward them to a parent or save them to a flash drive.
Report bullying to your service provider. Sites like Facebook and YouTube take it seriously when people use their sites to post cruel or mean stuff or set up fake accounts. If users report abuse, the site administrator may block the bully from using the site in future. If you're being harassed by someone sending you mean texts or emails, you can complain to phone service or email providers (such as Gmail, Verizon, Comcast, and Yahoo).
Block the bully. Most devices have settings that allow you to electronically block the bully or bullies from sending notes. If you don't know how to do this, ask a friend or adult who does.
Be safe online. Password protect your cell phone and your online sites, and change your passwords often. Be sure to share your passwords only with your parent or guardian. It's also wise to think twice before sharing personal information or photos/videos that you don't want the world to see. Once you've posted a photo or message, it can be difficult or impossible to delete. So remind yourself to be cautious when posting photos or responding to someone's upsetting message.
If you know of a friend who is acting as a cyberbully, take him or her aside and talk about it. Without putting your friend down, stand up for your own principles: Let the bully know it's not OK.
Explain to your friend that bullying can have very serious consequences: for the bully, for the person (or people) being bullied, and even for bystanders like you and your friends. Meanness is like pollution — it can spread to bystanders who may get stressed out or upset about what's going on. Do what you can to build a bully-free environment!
