Ratings down eight percent this year
Updated: July 13, 2005, 6:21 PM ETAssociated Press
NEW YORK -- Ratings for baseball's All-Star game hit a new low for the second straight year.
The American League's 7-5 victory over the National League in Detroit received an 8.1 rating and 14 share on FOX, Nielsen Media Research said Wednesday, down 8 percent from the 8.8 rating for the AL's 9-4 win last year in Houston.

Dallas running back DeMarco Murray is expected to return for Sunday's night game on NBC. How big of role he will have in tonight's game is questionable. All signs are pointing to Murray and Felix Jones splitting time at running back. Murray has been out since being injured in an Oct. 14 game at Baltimore. Since his absence the Cowboys offense has seen their run totals drop to last in the NFL in yards per game and yards per carry. How much Dallas can take advantage of a middle of the pack Eagles defense against the run relies on Murray. The Eagles are allowing 117.5 yards per game on the ground. The Cowboys are averaging just 78.7.

Well for those of you that have already installed Deployment 4 may have notice that Deployment 4 does not use builds anymore. Task sequences are used instead.
Task sequences are very similar to builds with a few subtle changes.
All of the task sequence configuration information is now maintained within the task sequence itself, NOT in the general and settings tabs settings tab.
So let's compare builds and task sequences. The screen shots below are from a BDD 2007 build.
So where exactly is this information stored in Deployment 4?
The information is stored with the task that uses it. So for example let's have a look at the operating system deployment task. As you can see from the screen shot below there is a drop down box that allows you to choose an operating system.
Now let's look at the disk partitioning task. As you can see below this task allows you to specify the disk configuration in the task itself... NICE ... no more mucking around with diskpart files!!
I really like this new approach to to configuring settings. I think it will prove to be much more flexible than the way builds are configured.
Unfortunately there is not currently an interface to configure the following operating system configuration settings:
Don't panic! The Deployment 4 team is working on adding this functionality to the operating system deployment task before it is released. For now you will have to manually update the configuration files. As a teaser I have included a screen shot from an SCCM task sequence to show you the "apply windows settings" task, as this is what the final solution might look like.
For more information about task sequences please have a look at this post by Michael Niehaus.

Great post, Ben. I agree the task sequence model is awesome.
What is Deployment 4? Deployment 4 combines the guidance and toolset from previous releases of Business
Do you have any idea of there also will be a "Apply Windows Setting" task for Windows XP?
So for now with Deployment 4 manually unattend/Sysprep file editing in the control folder...
Yes there will be an apply window settings task. It should be similar to the task in SCCM.
Today i've installed Microsoft Deployment RC1, and looked at the task sequence, but could not find a task "Apply Windows Settings". I'm I overlooking it or is it not yet availeble? Do you know something about it?
Thanks in advance,
Unfortunately it's not there yet. I have been assured that it will be there before MDT is released.
Will this release have the ability to read AD for GUID and return a machinename? I have the GUID entered in the AD and do not want to run another database as well. or am I missing the point somewhere?
No it won't.
Although you could update Windows PE to support ADSi then you should be able to do it.
The onter option you have is to setup a web service tat will get the information for you.

Hi, guys!
Just noticed that MIP has launched new versions of their Race Duty Aluminium drive shaft kits, and this time with steel dogbones which should be a lot stronger than the aluminium ones. And there is no limitation to only 2S anymore.
MIP kit numbers are #13270 (rear) and #13260 (front).
Check these links:
As far as I can tell, the only difference to the X-Duty kits are the steel dogbones and the differential outdrives. So it should not be too expensive to go from the X-Duty's to the new dogbone type.

Mirroring DCO & DRL - Windows Failover CLuster
Hi everybody,
I've got just some questions about DCO and DRL in Storage Foundation. Maybe someone can help ;)
I have a 2 nodes failover cluster (windows 2012) and I use Storage Foundation 6.0.2 to create a Dynamic Disk Group. This dynamic disk group contains 2 SAN disks (these disks are located on remote and separated storage arrays) and the option "Create cluster Group" is enabled.
I create a new volume (mirrored option enabled) and then, I add Log (DRL) & FastResync (FastResync is mirrored beetweend disks)
Sometimes, when a network failure occurs, I have to remove and add again the DRL on the disks which was previously in failure.
This behaviour is explained here.
Ok, now I wonder if I really need to add the DRL on disks ? I have read here that the DRL is built into DCO Version 20.
How can in know which version Storage Foundation uses ? I tried something like vxprint -g name-oft-he-disk-group -F%... but it didn't work.
For your information, here is the failue:
I do apologize for my english.
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
DRL functionality is built-in to DCO in UNIX, but I don't think the same is true for Windows, so I think for windows you still need a DRL, when you have a DCO.
It's pretty hard to get low-level information out of Windows - I think the most you can get out with standard tools is "vxprint -l".

Oh dear. Just when we thought Microsoft might have gotten over its misleading Surface tablet ads attacking the iPad (and iPad mini), it has run three new ones, each attacking the MacBook Air (the other two are shown below the fold).
Microsoft's decision to go on the offensive is perhaps understandable: while Apple can run a MacBook Air ad simply observing that it's "the notebook people love," poor sales of the Surface despite high marketing costs have so far resulted in Microsoft losing $1.7B on the device …
The ads claim the Surface is as powerful as a MacBook Air while championing the the Surface's touchscreen, pen and detachable keyboard that allow it to be both a tablet and a laptop – the very 'worst of both worlds' experience that resulted in such poor reviews.
The poor sales performance of the Surface led Microsoft to abandon its plans to make a Surface Mini, a decision resulting in some embarrassment when observers pointed out that the company had made several references to the smaller model in the Surface 3 user guide.
Microsoft's ad campaigns for the Surface have been almost entirely negative, attacking not only Apple but Samsung too. The two other MBA-dissing ads can be seen below.

I think the give away of Microsoft's conceptual mistake with the Surface is most clearly expressed in the ad for the Surface Peo 3, called "Power" where the voice over says: "Yep, but it's not only a tablet, it's really a laptop". That's the whole problem right there, Microsoft. You're trying to turn the tablet into a laptop PC, and in doing so you're compromising the product in both capacities, making it both a poor tablet and a poor laptop.
it's heavy tablet and poor laptop
You know I bought a Dell Venue Pro 11, the i3 version, for my wife, because she says she needed a Windows PC for a certain application that she runs.
Turns out that wasn't true, but anyway, that's how that started.
I notice, she 100% never uses it as a tablet, its only a laptop. And I never imagined that it was going to be as bad as it was, I honestly thought people were exaggerating. But you have this classic windows environment where everything doesn't really work for touch that well. And so the first thing my wife found really confusing is the "two faces of internet explorer" – sometimes it works well with touch, and other times it doesn't……what?
I do understand why Microsoft made the screen bigger. Since it is a laptop – a tiny netbook size screen is no advantage. Unfortunately with the Dell Venue Pro 11 we actually bought, my wife does suffer with the small screen.
Like I said, I got the i3 version, so I got the version with a relatively capable processor, and the faster SSD drive- so its capable enough performance-wise, but overall I didn't realize that Windows 8.1 was really as bad as people warn.
It's just a frankenstein monster.
When, for example, you change from an iPhone to an android phone or WP phone there is a certain learning curve. Why isn't this obvious with Windows 8? You have to LEARN something. Young kids find Windows 8 stupidly easy to use… then again they are open to new things unlike adults.
I always like when the Microsoft-leaning folks try to justify poor interface and hardware design by saying "Obviously, there's a learning curve," as if to say that if people have problems with it, they obviously are stupid and/or lazy. Usually, I imagine, these types of comments are by software engineers, or computer tinkerers who love the geeky side of everything. So do I. However, bad interfaces and bad hardware design is simply that: poorly designed, poorly executed. It has nothing to do with the abilities of the end-user or their motivation to "learn new things" or spend countless hours trying to get the damn thing to do what should be intuitive and easy for ANY user, regardless of their experience, and regardless of how long you think they should play with it before getting frustrated and giving up.
of course, you can already draw on the screen; with the track pad. And you don't need to carry around another thing…
Although, If I'm being honest, they are good ads, and I think they will find a market for the SP3 with these ads. I think Apple's vision of productivity and what these devices are supposed to accomplish is slightly different than Microsoft's, and that's fine, but I bet after six months or so Full Photoshop runs like an anchor on that thing.
It will be a niche product for the next couple or so years. That until, Microsoft decides to discontinue it.
I think Microsoft made a good keyboard once.
All the other hardware ventures have been debacles, this is no different.
If I wanted to use a stylus I would go back in time and use a PDA. MicroLAME.
The MacBook Air can also run Windows 8.1 under BootCamp if that's the case. Anyway, Microsoft has a valid case against the MacBook Air but that's for consumers to decide. I've got no problem with Microsoft running these ads if that's the best they can do. Microsoft is only hurting its own business partners by also competing against them. If a company sets out to design a product feature by feature to beat a rival's product it definitely is easy to make a lot of claims how their product is better because it can do more. Microsoft desperately needs to get consumers to buy that Surface Pro 3 so let them give it their best shot. Microsoft seems to be set on building a single product that can do everything better than multiple Mac products, so let's see if they can convince consumers it's possible. It's been shown how consumers can be easily fooled by snake oil claims, so maybe it'll work for Microsoft.
Based on how many ads Microsoft has made that pit their products against Apple's, in the same boring manner no less, is proof that they're giving it their best shot and it's still not working. They've tried kids dancing in the street, 20-something's dancing in boardrooms, a short, fat, bald guy walking up to (seemingly) random people on the street; they've also attempted to have ambulance drivers and café owners to shill their devices with very little success.
The difference in the "Hi, I'm a Mac…" ads was the comedy, the play on words and metaphors conveyed through the actors. You didn't need to see the product at all to understand Apple's message and Mac (Justin Long) was almost always humble and inquisitive leaving PC (John Hodgman) to self-depricate or realize his deficiencies in interesting and entertaining ways.
Apple didn't need to show a Windows machine with a virus they just needed Hodgman to sneeze uncontrollably then eventually collapse because he had to… crash.
You know, I was gonna buy an MBA, but now I'm convinced. I'll go for tablet/notebook combo that has *dozens* of apps available, runs a shitty OS that nobody wants to buy (allowing me to finally be the snowflake my mother always told me I was), an inferior keyboard that I'll forget at home, a touchscreen that does what the MBA's trackpad does, only less comfortable and a kickstand it wouldn't need if it actually were a notebook. Oh, and A PEN.
The Wall Street Journal confirms: Microsoft got a real winner on their hands with this one.
i think the fundamental problem with the Surface is actually the software. Looking through the Windows app store on my new Surface Pro 3, seeking to find what I thought were logical things, led me repeatedly to scam apps. Looking for 'Google Chrome' and other software without a listing in the Windows App Store would have listings with prices even!
I've never encountered this phenomenon in all my years of using the Apple Store. It's truely buyer beware in the Windows store. My Surface largely acts as an extended desktop for my MBA (Synergy ftw). I use it for the Breaking News metro app, sometimes for One Note, but thats about all that matters. Anything productive is done on the MBA.
Tablet = using it any where.
Laptop = using it on a desk.
I don't see the point Microsoft is making in these commercial, because I still consider the Surface Pro as a laptop. You have 2 interfaces where you have to switch back and forth with which I believe is just a way to confuse you. Not all applications take advantage of the Metro interface which kills the whole tablet feature.
In the commercial Microsoft shows off their tablet running Photoshop and tried to make it that the MacBook Air doesn't LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQcl-Zmkg34 (which is considered false advertising, because you CAN run photoshop on the Air too!) If you want to get into detail then why must they leave out the multi gesture touchpad that the Mac has? Oh… That's right… They want you to believe that you can't do most the same things on a Mac and what I mean by "most" is the touch pen and the kickstand.
The pen is only useful to draw or write with and it's a STUPID idea to use it to navigate through the OS. Just my opinion though.
It's an "attack ad" because it points out the detachable kb, stylus and touch in a blatant attempt to mock or discourage Apple purchasing as a foolish decision.
It's the plethora of entities that Apple has that MS' lacks, but isn't mentioned that accurately portray these ads as desperate or attacking.
It's a straw-man fallacy because overwhelmingly Apple makes a better device as evidenced by sales, customer satisfaction and loyalty – the addition of a stylus, detachable screen and touch don't even put a dent in the disadvantages, impositions and hardships associated with ownership of the SP.
next they will diss the iPod. oh wait the Zune is already dead.
The Microsoft paid shills are out in force! I guess it doesn't matter how many times they get caught when they are that desperate.
Why not… Actually admit that the Surface Pro 3, along with the previous model, is quite a nice machine that 'does' offer that little bit more than the competition? Is your precious small mac machine that important to you that you're blinded by what YOU own? This is straight forward playground stuff going on in here. Be impartial, be practical, open your mind and maybe be interested in something that isn't coloured 'white'.
I wanted to like both the Surface and Windows 8. I really did. I thought they were such brilliant and cool concepts. And I tried really hard to like them both…
But I guess it's like a gay guy trying to be straight. It's just not gonna happen. They're both really terrible.
Oh, well. I figured, "Well, I tried guys. Nevertheless, Microsoft, kudos for taking the initiative. You've got a friend in me."
Then they started their campaign railing against the products that I moved to using after being highly disappointed by their new stuff…
Aside from the obvious, I feel like most people who use Macs, regardless of how experienced of users they be/were on PCs and/or Macs, moved for the same reasons I did.
"We make shitty products. Then, when you use other products, we make fun of you for it."
– Just another software company drone and power user :/
Honestly, I'm *slightly* intrigued by the Surface 3, but it was WAY overpriced. Also, if they want it to be a real tabtop then the keyboard should be included, not a $130 accessory.
I do not want my tablet to replace my laptop. My iPad is an entertainment device and my MacBook is a productivity device and never the twain shall meet. My car gets me back and forth to work or on the errands I run, my truck hauls stuff from Home Depot and tows my boat on weekends. The ridiculous pursuit of THE all-in-one device should be abandoned like the search for Eldorado. The reason Microsoft was able to win the PC war is because when people began to buy computers for their homes they, being good little corporate drones, bought them to be compatible with what they had at work, enabling them to extend their 70 hour work weeks to 90 hour work weeks by taking work home. Apple products have always been "personal" devices, designed to enhance people's lives.

Redmonds response to that will be to break down what Mayweather just made for this last fight and what his contract with Showtime will pay him. None of which Mayweather is sharing with Redmond and none of which helps him sell his douchey self to the American public who vote with their wallets and leave blocks of seats empty for his sparring matches. Advice to Mayweather, get over to the UK. The chavs love you and would probably support you more than your fans in the ghettos of America that you have priced out of attending your live fights.Posted May 5, 2013 1:34 am

"The Klits have been fighting for 16 years and cannot give away tickets in the US…"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WHO CARES what they do in the US when they sell out STADIUMS and receive strong television viewership in many parts of Europe? Americans can never wrap their heads around the fact that the whole world does not revolve around THEM. Boxing is better in other parts of the world anyways. The fans are more enthusiastic and appreciative of their fighters OUTSIDE of America. Europe, South America, Canada, you name it, it's just better. Funny how this idiot is a Mayweather nuthugger and making comments about what other fighters sell. Mayweather couldn't sell out a stadium anywhere in the world to save his life, has NEVER sold a single ticket outside of the US and in fact, The MGM Grand Arena had ENTIRE ROWS of seats available earlier in the week for today's fight. The last person who should be talking about ticket sales is a Mayweather jock box. I guess the haters are getting desperate at this point since it has been almost 10 years since a Klitschko has lost.Posted May 5, 2013 1:28 am
I wonder what doctor WK works with, these days, Ward worked with Victor Conte (BALCO) up to the Kessler fight. There is too little doping controls in boxing.Posted May 2, 2013 6:38 am
WK reminds me terribly of Andre Ward, and he looks like he is on the juice too. I never said that Vitaly wasn't a hard hitter, when he was younger.
I said that WK couldn't throw a clean punch, if his mother helped him, he has his jab, and unclean punches. His opponents consists of beer belly americans, and eastern european bums. Rematches is the most natural thing in boxing.Posted May 2, 2013 6:34 am
The Klits have been fighting for 16 years and cannot give away tickets in the US…. Ward is buidling his presence doing telecasts for HBO and Showtime setting himself up for the future.. More importantly he is dominating a class of opponent in his division that is FAR superior to the sparring partners, OLD men, and Cruisers that the Klits are now routinely selling to their fans in Germany… Carl Froch, Mikkel Kessler, Bika, Abraham, Chad Dawson ALL World Class fighters and 3 or 4 have been or were Champions before they faced Andre SOG Ward… Wards undefeated not getting knocked out left and right like Wlad was by the time he was Wards age… Wards got a long way to go be he accomplished WAY more than the Klits has by this age…. Vitali was 31 or 32 getting stopped by Lewis, Ward was underdog in the Super 6 and drew the FAVORITE in the first round (Kessler) who had fought Calzaghe competitively… Ward beat him up and stopped him for the first time in his career he made Kessler look like a novice… Wlad at 28 was what? being asked to retire by Vitali? because he had recently been stopped 2x in 5 fights by a golpher and a B fighter he was supposed to beat (Brewster)Posted May 1, 2013 10:15 am
I just don't get it. Lennox is the best. Vitali is the best, no lennox. Phuuuuxing girls. Cant you just agree both the Kbros and LL are freaking beast. They are tall, athletic highly skilled power boxers. The best style for modern heavies. Simple respect they both.Posted May 1, 2013 8:17 am

Nobody will watch ward fight. But the klitschkos fill stadiums fighting pianetta and mormek in mere money making voluntaries. Third biggest purse bid for wlad vs povetkin and who came in the wrong era? Bahahahahah! Garbage son. Moneys good for mayweather but no the klitschkos. Attention folks we havea flip flopper I'm sure u know who it is. Who did holmes fight? A washed up clay? Yep. Now wlads gonna pass that cat up in the ecord books and espn and skysports will be all over it. Vitaly is already a record and tatistical BEAST so thehaters got clean sheeted. Like vitaly outlanding lennox every round and 4 rounds with one eye. Ouch!!!Posted April 30, 2013 10:46 pm
wlad vs wach was an awesome fight. Rafael thought so. People were writing off thompson then he shocked price and immediately added moore value to an already decent scalp. Klitschkos are always exciting right out of the gate they are landing klitschko signature sauce power shots until the end. And u know any of those shots could drop a guy like charr in less than 3 rounds. Had charr been dropped. Its funny brewster had never been knocked down in fight 1 with wlad and wlad dropped him twice. The funny thing is brewster never knocked down the zombie that was wlad. Then fight 2 summed everything up nicely as wlad pickedup where he left off given brewster the beatdown. Nobody buys wards garbage while wlad vs povetkin is the 3rd largest purse bid of ALL TIME. Feed on it haters boo yahPosted April 30, 2013 9:35 pm
Farmboxer, the Klits have talent and they can fight but alas they are BORING from a stylistic perspective and the quality of their foes is the nail in the coffin.. NO ONE absent their German fans is getting pumped for Mormeck, Charr, OLD Thompson, Pianeta, Sosnowski, King Pin Johnson, and Gomes…. Real is Real the Klits just did NOT take over at the right time!Posted April 30, 2013 9:13 pm
Andre Ward is an undefeated fighter who has CLEANED out his division… He is lining up fights with quality foes and certainly NOT absorbing 3 TKO losses by the time he was 28 like Wlad did… Wlads compiling a nice record at HW but he should have learned to clinch EARLIER or he would not be known as the HW Champ with perhaps the WEAKEST chin during his prime years….Posted April 30, 2013 9:11 pm
i was watching Pianeta on youtube, Klit has very low chance to loose. I hope to watch Klit to annihilate Povetkin. Povetkin deserves to be beaten in front of Moscow crowd. I really do not like him. Only problem, Klit looks too confident in his interview, and there is no Emanuel Stuart to put him down. And Italian fighters are not Franch, and he was Klit's sparring partner.Posted April 30, 2013 5:25 pm
Rematches are for guys who could NOT win the first time out (Vitali Klitschko) but then again Vitali needed or hoped for Lewis to be older and a little more out of shape so he could get his face flayed in 8 rounds instead of 6, a 2 round… Sorry guys Vitali had his shot and he simply could not cut it…. We see him ducking a Cruiserweight trying to scavenge the dead HW ranks for a decent name before he goes and becomes a City Councilman in the Ukraine or whatever his aspirations are… Meanwhile Lewis gave a BIG prime future HW Champion a shot and sent him packing…. LL the thorn that will NEVER get out of Vitalis side!Posted April 30, 2013 4:31 pm
Wlad and Lennox have different assetts Lewis is a FAR tougher and meaner boxer than Wlad Klitschko who is terrified of contact… Lewis is a BETTER infighter than Wlad and did not have the inclination to carry guys beyond a certain point he sought to destroy… Lewis gave Holy MORE punch variety to think about than Wlad who is pretty much a jab right hand occasional left hook fighter… Lewis has a smoking uppercut, straight right, hooks and was capable of body work…. Holy would have a tough fight with Wlad but if he could get the younger Klit into later rounds in an action fight there is no telling if Wlad would have another attack of "Poison" or Don King putting him in an imaginary chokehold! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!Posted April 30, 2013 4:22 pm
Klits are might be are good boxers, but do not compare them with someone who can box.Posted April 30, 2013 4:11 pm
Even Haye, some small guy, terrified Wlad and definitely would murder Vitaly. Fat low skills Arreola has good chaces against Wlad, too bad he lost already.Posted April 30, 2013 4:10 pm
Wlad is the best of two klits, and he lost to Sanders Brewster, lost to to mediocre boxers. Every great boxer would tear both Klits in peaces. Lewis in good shape would floor Wlad in second round and Vitaliy in 10th round. Tyson would scare Wlad and finish him in second round and KO Vitaliy in first.Posted April 30, 2013 4:04 pm

God I was looking at some of Max Bears fights, Garbage. Would not even be a good cruiser. Most of those old legends were working in factories and did boxing on the side for a bit of cash. They cannot compare with today guys but we will pretend they were hard men, they were unbeatable. They would be KTFO in quick time today.Posted April 30, 2013 12:43 pm
In his last fight Wlad was hurt with only one punch from an inept bum
Time have changed. Foreman was a giant, a human wrecking machine. He would be a averaged sized to small heavy weight now and incredibly slow at that as well. The only chance he would have with either Kbro is to land one if his massive body punches to the ribs but he would be too slow to get past their jabs. He would also with his level of fitness not be able to fight an active high paced 12 rounds. If ali could KO him a K Bro definitely can.Posted April 30, 2013 12:39 pm
Haye is way too fast for foreman. And after watching such fights as foreman vs lyle I think I would put my money on haye if they fought. But we have seen very little of haye at heavy so its hard to say. The only good fighter haye faced at heavy has been wlad and his fight was disgraceful and he was dominated in the boxgamePosted April 30, 2013 12:30 pm
Foreman was the same size than Haye but unlike him he was a natural stronger heavyweight who hits harder with vicious hooks and uppercuts, and could take a punch better, the only issue was his stamina. He was fast in his prime and he knew how to cut ring. Haye
its obvious vitaly would ko holy. I think wlad would tooPosted April 30, 2013 12:11 pm
If lennox can defeat holy no doubt peak wlad can.Posted April 30, 2013 12:10 pm
The Klitschkos are not the real problem in the division, they have just used their points of leverage to be a dominant team. I don't understand why people want them to retire. The big problem is the quality of the rest of the field. There are fewer boxers globally today than in the past, they fight less often, they fight less rounds and the 'best' do not fight each other. Beyond that most of them can't even be dedicated when training and are out of shape. This is not an evolution of any kind – you don't get better at boxing by not fighting, not fighting anybody who will challenge you and improve you and you are not an 'evolved super athlete' if you don't train and instead scoff buritos or swig Guiness. Boxing is a craft not a simple physical contest where 'greatness' is indicated by how tall you grew.Posted April 30, 2013 12:01 pm
Foreman was taller, had a larger wingspan (which is more important in a sport controlled by the arms than the level off the ground of the tip of your fro) and weighed more. He was a bigger man than Haye. He was stornger, height doesn't mean you are broad or strong – Tommy Hearns was alot taller than Mike Tyson for example. Boxing isn't a height contest, it never has been. There have always been tall HW boxers. Most of the contenders in this era are overwight plodders – not 6'7 athletes like Wlad and most of the other tall guys around are not skilled like Wlad. Guys like Wach, Pinata, Fury etc are useless, irrespective of their height. Wlad is where he is because he is skillfull and disciplined. Watch the Stiverne Arreola fight and try and tell me that those guys are a physiological evolution of the human species. They look more like cavemen to me.Posted April 30, 2013 11:47 am
The thing is that WK reminds me terribly of Andre Ward, jab, hold and move like a robot. WK even looks like he is on the juice too.Posted April 30, 2013 11:41 am
"Big" George Foreman is the same size as Haye. HW's in that era were nothing more than todays CW's.Posted April 30, 2013 11:35 am
K2Fan really tried to pass of Wlad's quality by quoting Wachs suit measurements LOL!!! Wach is a fighter with NO real ranking in the World and until Klitschko pulled him out of a meatlocker and unthawed him for a beating NO ONE was discussing him… SAME with Charr and his now ex sparring partner Pianeta… Are you going to tell us how tall these other mopes are? Wach was TERRIBLE he was unbelievably slow and his balance was POOR he certainly did not look like he was ushering in a new era of athletic performance… I don't think much of Wilder but he looked alot more light on his feet than Wach who fights like he has a couple of planets strapped to his boots…Posted April 30, 2013 10:22 am
Peak Holyfield would have given Wlad HELL his chin is about 10x Wlads considering the quality of his foes and his size relative to them… Wlad could NEVER trade shots with Foreman, Tyson, Bowe 3x and Lennox Lewis 2x…. The ONLY guy to stop Holy in his prime was Big Daddy Bowe and he walked away from their encounters WORSE for wear..Would Wlad be a tough obstacle and in danger from Wlads right hand? Sure he would but Evander at his best KNEW how to fight and he had the kind of guts that Wlad is sorely lacking in…. During his prime you NEVER would see Evander laid out by a Corrie Sanders, Ross Purrity or Lamon Brewster he was taking a tough man like Mercer BEFORE Wlad got to the elderly version…. Holyfields resume speaks for itself 4X HW Champion, Undisputed and owning 2 wins over Mike Tyson… When did Wlad EVER get in the ring as a big underdog and surpass expectations? he ONLY got in as a favorite and UNDERPERFORMED expectations on 3 occasions….Posted April 30, 2013 9:56 am
Wach is a NOBODY with a scant KO record and NO ONE is going to pass on the quality of Wlads chin due to Wach you would be better served saying he survived Peter putting him down.. Guys gave Lewis grief for his losses if you think that Wlads historically suspect chin is NOT gonna enter the convo you are crazy especially considering the relative low level of fighter and how deep in his career he was still getting stopped 45 fights….Foreman got stopped ONCE in 80 bouts by a GREAT HW, Holmes ONCE in 75 fights by a murderous HOF HW in his prime…. Sorry Wlads done well since learning to avoid the big one but those KO's are part of the strikes against him…Posted April 30, 2013 9:51 am
Wach is powder puff. Being 6'7 doesn't automatically generate huge power – there is more to the craft of boxing and human physiology than that. I'd say that you're the "simpleton" making simple 'arguments'.Posted April 30, 2013 9:24 am

Prime Wlad vs Prime Vitali. I am beginning to think wlad by UD. He has more one punch power. Much faster on this feed and with his hands. Better jab than even Vitali. Vitali has the better chin and throws more volume but I think Wlad is just too athletic. Both are beast along with Lewis. Tall athletic power boxers who have great skills and know how to maximize this size. The new breed of Heavies.Posted April 30, 2013 8:16 am

Klittard statement 2a: Lewis has a glass chin because he was knocked down once and was counted out once vs 2b: Wlads chin is not glass as he has been sat on his arse 14 times. Klittard statement 3a: Lewis lost to bums like Rahman vs 3b Wlad (who was green and poisoned etc) was 'beaten on paper' by 'giant Killer' Corrie Sanders. Rahman beat Sanders, if Rahman was so bad and light hitting how come he managed what Vitali couldn't an KO Lewis. It would be easy to go on like this forever. I don't see anything in Wlads historic performances to tell me that he could stay on his feet following the uppercut that Lewis hit his brother with and that being a past prime Lewis. I see plenty in Lewis's record, he took big shots from huge punchers. Wlad has no physical advantage over Lewis, he would try and clinch, get manhandled (maybe even sliced up by Lewis's 'razor dreadlocks') and hit with big shots like that uppercut. I can't objectively see Wlad getting through it.Posted April 30, 2013 7:08 am
Lewis ONLY needed 43 or 44 fights and he retired Undisputed HW Champion and won pretty much EVERY accolade you can attain… Wlad and Vitali have a BUNCH of names on their resumes and not a SINGLE fighter bound for the HOF because they quality of their foes has been low… Wlad did have a spate where he beat Brock, Byrd, Chambers, Chagaev and Ibragimov that was solid work but it has been YEARS since then and these last defenses have been ATROCIOUS and he is continuing with a former sparring partner…. Lewis B level guys like Tua, Grant, Mercer and Morrison were better than most of the BEST guys Wlad beat and definitely BETTER than the best guys that Vitali beat…. Thats why when Vitali discusses his career its NEVER long before one of Lewis testicles rolls out of his mouth… Whats he gonna discuss after that? Samuel Peter????? SNOOOOOORRRREEEE!!!Posted April 30, 2013 6:55 am
yeah pulev-vlad is the fight I wanna see. but pulev-fury is just as wanted for me. can't wait to witness the destruction of chatterbox fury from pulev's hands. I wish that fury wont bail out of this one.Posted April 30, 2013 6:50 am
Comment on Grant below meant for Tark NOT Bears… FACT is Tark that Lewis got Grant when he was unbeaten and highly ranked him losing to McCline later is irrelevant to Lewis blasting him when he was unbeaten AGAIN you are trying to indirectly tie him (Wlad) to Lewis nutsack and its SADLY NOT working…Lewis talking with Sanders means what exactly? Sanders is a HW NOBODY AGAIN the only night he had worth discussing was him upsetting Wlad Klitschko beyond that his career was unremarkable unless you want to talk about Hasim Rahman stopping him or Nate Tubbs? Sanders was beating WEAK comp in South Africa most of his career but of course a vacant intellect like Tark will tell us that South Africa is the BOXING MECCA of the World it produced PED user Botha and legless Olympian Pistorious of COURSE Sanders was secretly GREAT!!! Silly me LMAO!!Posted April 30, 2013 6:50 am
man, pulev will be fighting tyson fury this year for the mandatory contender spot, it's according IBF rules.Posted April 30, 2013 6:45 am
I just cant freaking wait to see Pulev vs Wlad 2013. That Bulgarian is a beast. Povetkin is also a very tricky guy even with the man boobsPosted April 30, 2013 6:43 am
I didn't like mormek and charr also. but in near future we'll, for sure, see fights against PULEV, WILDER, JENNINGS, POVETKIN, MAYBE STIVERNE. The good challenges are coming, we need to just wait a little bit.Posted April 30, 2013 6:43 am
pulevPosted April 30, 2013 6:41 am
man, I don't like pianeta too. but the champ got to stay busy. nobody is available at this moment. you call the name!Posted April 30, 2013 6:37 am
Bryd, Chargev, Igbragimov all quality, even old thomspon. The KBros are great but great champs should not be having warm up fights. I am a KBro fan and am starting to loose respect. Fights with Charr, Mormeck, Pianeta. Maybe a few years ago but now the division have alot of talent. Crap poor useless matchups fight for the championship belt.Posted April 30, 2013 6:31 am
PIANETA – POVETKIN HUGE CASH-IN IN MOSCOW 80.000 OLYMPIC STADIUM – KUBRAT PULEV AFTER HE BEATS PUS SY TYSON FURY. THIS IS THE GAME PLAN FOR VLADIMIR KLICHKO IN 2013.Posted April 30, 2013 6:28 am
ROFL!!!! IT'S EXACTLY ELENA LEWIS WHO WOULD NOT LAST EIGHT ROUNDS AGAINST VLADIMIR KLICHKO. VLADIMIR IS SUPERIOR TO ELENA IN EVERY DEPARTMENT. LEWIS OPPONENTS WERE PUNCHBAGS YOU FOOL!!! TUA, BOTHA, RAHMAN, MERCER, BRIGGS, GRANT, TYSON, HOLYFIELD ARE ALL SUPERHEAVYWEIGHT PUNCHBAGS, ARE NOT BETTER THAN DAVEY G AY, SULTAN IBRAGIMOV, THOMPSON, CHAGAEV, BYRD, WACH, PETER ETC!!! YOUR A NAZI FOOL SREDMOND. ELENA LEWIS PERFORMED ONLY 44 FIGHTS WHILE VLADIMIR KLICHKO WILL PERFORM HIS 63RD FIGHT THIS WEEKEND!!! THE MOST DOMINANT SUPERHEAVYWEIGHT EVER! PLUS HE IS THE BEST KNOCKOUT ARTIST EVER. PLUS HE SPEAKS THREE LANGUAGES WHILE ELENA SPEAKS ONLY ONE. VLADIMIR KLICHKO IS GENIOUS, HE IS A UNIQUE BOXER, WHILE ELENA LEWIS JUST A JEALOUS EX CHAMP FROM CANADA.Posted April 30, 2013 6:24 am
The world champ should not have warm ups. He is the best in the world and needs to face the best contender out there otherwise the sport will suffer. Fight Toney or Fraudley next wlad. Come on 2013 Pulev Fury are waitingPosted April 30, 2013 6:22 am
Fraudly should just freaking retire. He won gold, just hang up the gloves and get into sports commentating of something.Posted April 30, 2013 6:20 am
Audley is a LAME but what the hell is Wlad warming up for? His next LIFE and who the hell is this big name fighter he is warming up for? Povetkin who has lost almost ALL respect and David Haye would clobber with ease? Povetkin used to have some buzz but his cowardice, tough nights with Cruisers (Huck) and beating on RELICs like Boswell and Rahman have left him as a guy everyone knows is cashing himself out against Wlad and thats about it…. He destroyed whatever intrigue might have been years ago….Posted April 30, 2013 6:20 am
rod. pianeta, charr and mormek are WARM UPS. nobody argues. but you can't find a bigger piece of sht than audley harrison.Posted April 30, 2013 6:14 am
HaHaHa Lewis retired Undisputed HW Champion and as a parting gift to the sport he did a hatchett job on Vitalis mug with his right hand… The Klits are some very solid HOF fighters and Wlad is on quite a run but his legacy is being BADLY watered down by his recent run of opponents.. Dead bodies, old men, retreads and sparring partners… SHAMEFUL…. Vitali might as well retire we have pretty much forgotten hm it has been YEARS since he faced a big name opponent and has tried to build a rep off of lasting 6 rounds with Lennox Lewis then begging for a rematch with GAUZE hanging out of his face like a guy who's parachute did NOT open…Posted April 30, 2013 6:12 am
Wlad would NOT last 8 rounds with Lennox Lewis because like his brother vs the OLDEST version of Lewis seen in the ring he would have to get hit and his jab and grab style would be negated… I notice you said "this version of Wlad" you mean the one that appeared over 8 years after he began and Lewis had retired? He could have fought his way into position but he was getting splatted by nobodies and fighting for the lightly regarded WBO belt….Wlad is a talented fighter but he is also the beneficiary of not having to face or defeat ANY really hard assed big name fighters… He will do well facing guys like Pianeta, and Wach extending them long rounds… Lewis was last seen in the ring pounding a prime Vitalis face into MUSH during a pitched battle….Posted April 30, 2013 6:09 am
Kbros are great no question. They are freaking beast. I just don't like most of they guys who get in the ring with the. Pianeta, charr, mormeck. It's like Harrison or James Toney will be their next opponent. Would Pianeta beat Stiverne, Arreola, Cunningham, Fury. Would Pianeta beat Thompson or even David Price or Lucas Browne. Hell I think Fraudley would take him. The same goes for charr and mormeckPosted April 30, 2013 6:06 am
2Slick: In a fantastic fight, Sanders had Vitaly, in big trouble too. Sanders had both brothers in trouble. To me, Vitaly was always the talented one.
VLADIMIR KLICHKO BEAT THE BIGGEST AMOUNT OF UNDEFEATED SUPERHEAVYWEIGHTS THAN ANY OTHER BOXER BEFORE. INCLUDING LENA LEWIS OR RAPIST TYSON.Posted April 30, 2013 5:57 am
Lewis was giving advice to Sanders to beat a potential big payday. Yeah it sounds like LL really wanted to dismantle WK. Sanders even said he was surprised by the phone call, its not like they are good friends or something.Posted April 30, 2013 5:55 am
Lena Lewis was a very hittable boxer, his chin also was not a granite. Rahman and McCall are toasts with no devastating punch, but look what they did to Lena. even young Vladimir was very dangerous. as for current Vladimir, he is superior to Lena in every department such as power, hand speed, foot speed, attacking skills, especially defensive skills, biggest experience in superheavyweight division of all time. PRIME VLADIMIR KNOCKS LENA LEWIS OUT. Btw which Lewis was peak? at 35 he lost to Rahman.Posted April 30, 2013 5:52 am
Farmboxer, you never know. Thinking about that 23million and povetkin might make him lose focus a bit. Emanuel Stewart ain't around to keep things in perspective.Posted April 30, 2013 5:51 am
Bears, really? where EXACTLY have I EVER called Michael Grant "Great" but he was UNDEFEATED, YOUNG 31-0 I believe and ranked #3 when Lennox Lewis CRUSHED him in a split second…. Corrie Sanders was a pudgy C level fighter who split time on the Golf Court… He was there for Wlad to pad his record with and keep it moving thats why it was UPSET of the year and whats so special about Sanders getting TKOed by Vitali? HE was SUPPOSED to he was not some sort of dynamo thats a myth you nutcases concocted to simultaneously mitigate Wlads embarassing 2nd round beatdown and somehow get Vitali some additional cache for doing his brothers dirty work… Absent Wlad, Sanders was beating up nobodies in South Africa in between being a caddy… Grim yet true reality RIP Sanders!Posted April 30, 2013 5:50 am
Wlad got lucky when Sanders derailed him – if he'd have fought Lewis at that point he would have been in very big trouble. Purely conjecture but if full on destructo mode Lewis had got his hands on Wlad he could have come out the other side as damaged goods. SRED – Klit fans will always build Sanders into some mythical giant killer, all due respect to the man but the reality was Wlad was the only real giant he killed. As for Lennox and his talk, I remember him once saying Audley Harrison would become champion, he also likened David Haye to Ali; Lewis talks a lot but his opinions are not facts simply because he was a great fighter.Posted April 30, 2013 5:26 am
the champ of the world is to fight this weekend!!! great fight!!! i am so exsite! Klitschko remains unbeaten!Posted April 30, 2013 5:10 am
matthews, this isn't 10 years ago and Wlad isn't losing this fight or any other. Dream on.Posted April 30, 2013 4:56 am
WK could lose this fight. In boxing one punch could change it all. Nobody expected Sanders to beat him, wlad was looking ahead to a showdown with LL.Posted April 30, 2013 4:13 am
Peter-rabbit punches to the back of the head, purrity and brewster- gassed , Williamson – what a devastating kd (sarcasm). Only fighter who really checked wlads chin was sanders not a blown up cruiser weight.Posted April 30, 2013 4:09 am
tyson fury is a soft pus sy. Pulev will degrade that cheap chatterbox kidPosted April 30, 2013 3:04 am
SREDMOND: Sanders Koed WK and gave Vitaly one hell of a fight, in that wild and crazy Tyson Fury style, he was much tougher than all those fat american HWs. I am not saying that Fury could beat WK, who possible have that weak chin, still, I am saying that he is one of the few interesting challengers. And he is doping free.Posted April 30, 2013 2:54 am
peak holyfield over PEAK current VLADIMIR???? and you call yourself a boxing fan?????! holyfield is a bum superheavyweight with 10+ defeats!!! don't make a fool of yourself neil, both KlichKOs destroy holyfield hands down.Posted April 30, 2013 2:39 am
Neil (Pomy)
Id go for a peak Holyfield over both K-brothers.Posted April 30, 2013 1:58 am
holyfield fought trilogies with bowe and lewis. imagine if it was wlad and vitlay……dude would be destroyed. 90s fighters wouldnt even be use to the work rate/comubox of the klitschKOs. let alone the power and reach. their better range masters than lennox. better jabs too. im just saying imagine if lennox fought each brother 3 times. it would be so brutal. the klitschKO team is the most brutal thing in heavyweight history.Posted April 30, 2013 1:56 am
Right Tark I knew you for a long time your predictions and suggestions mostly hit the apple! Just stay here and educate a new coming bloggers!Posted April 30, 2013 1:09 am
Agree 100% with Bears!!!Posted April 30, 2013 1:05 am
Funny how everyone dismisses pianeta. Glad Wlad isnt his old self and takes every opponent seriously. Last time he did that was against Sanders, and it nearly derailed him.Posted April 29, 2013 11:57 pm
Hail to the kings!!!! the klitschKOs!!!!! can imagine if someone had to fight multiple fights with these guys??? oh, like sam peter. then got utterly destroyed and rendered useless. if the klitschKOs were in the 90s. imagine if someone fought trilogies with BOTH BROTHERS??? do you think they would survive? imagine if ali fought each brother 6 times or frazier or foreman. imagine if ANYBODY foght trilogies or multiple fights with them. it would be bad for them. nobody can survive at the top while the klitschkO's are around. i dont care what era your talkingPosted April 29, 2013 11:39 pm
AS I SEE IT. VLADIMIR KLICHKO'S GAME PLAN FOR THIS YEAR: WARM UP FIGHT WITH PIANETA – MANDATORY HUGE CASH-IN FIGHT WITH POVETKIN IN MOSCOW IN A CROWDED OLYMPIC STADIUM WITH ABOUT 80.000 PEOPLE – AND AT THE END OF THE YEAR A FIGHT AGAINST MANDATORY CONTENDER KUBRAT PULEV, GIVEN PULEV BEATS THE SHT OUT OF THAT LONG PUS SY TYSON FURY. PRETTY GOOD GAME PLAN FOR VLADIMIR. Long reign to you people's champion! We are waiting for great knockouts! Respect Vladimir KlichKO!Posted April 29, 2013 10:31 pm
Sredmond…, You dis Corrie Sanders as a "C-level Heavyweight" LMFAO, You praised Michael Grant as a great Lennox Lewis win. 6'7" X 260 Jameel McCline KO'd Grant in the 1st round for Grant's 2nd loss. Wladimir Klitschko then KO'd McCline to improve his record to 41-1. Then Corrie Sander 39-2, KO'd Wladimir in the 2nd round. Lennox Lewis repeatedly called Sanders at his training camp and told Corrie he's the best attacker in the heavyweight division—and said he had the perfect style to beat Wladimir. I guess Lewis doesn't know what the Hell he's talking about. Lennox Lewis-Wladimir Klitschko was THE heavyweight fight everyone talked about, and Sanders threw a wet blanket on it. If you score on the bell curve: A, B, C, D, and F, Sanders was easily in the top 20% of heavyweights…even the top 1%.. So easily A-level. C-level fighters don't become Heavyweight Champion or achieve a record of 39-2. Sanders fought the Klitschkos back to back—going 8 tough rounds with Vitali. Stop your hating.Posted April 29, 2013 8:13 pm
Vit will fight Stiverne.Posted April 29, 2013 7:17 pm
Hey, maybe Wlad will fight 3 defenses this year. I'd like to see him fight Povetkin & Pulev after he destroys Pianeta. If not Pulev, maybe Wilder, Fury or Stiverne.Posted April 29, 2013 6:34 pm
Jesus, Corrie Sanders? we know he starched Klitschko but that guy was NOT some sort of Big Time relevant HW stopping Wlad aside… Let him rest in his grave as the C level HW he was…. Good Grief!Posted April 29, 2013 5:17 pm
Mk if you see Tyson fury as a big Corey sanders, you don't have a clue about boxing. Fury doesn't have power anything like sanders had.Posted April 29, 2013 4:56 pm
Prof Konje
The Klitchko brothers fight whoever is next and whoever is put in front of them. I don't know why people put the brothers down just because they're head and shoulders above the competition. It's called boxing, not street fighting and they are excellent boxers. Has it occurred to some of you that maybe the other heavyweights are afraid to face them? How is it either Klitchko's fault if there is no competition?Posted April 29, 2013 4:29 pm

Nobody beating Dr Steel Hammer for a long time yet….Posted April 29, 2013 4:06 pm
Wlad should show Pulev his limts. Pulev-Wlad 2013!Posted April 29, 2013 3:39 pm
Tyson Fury is green, yes, but he is the only current Hw that is crazy enough to do damage to WK. I was very disappointed by Hayes defensive style against WK. One thing that is basic, is that you show up for a world title fight, without a big belly. How I miss a prime Tyson, Lewis and Holyfield. I see Tyson Fury, as a physically bigger Corrie Sanders. Wild, crazy and dangerous. On another note, Vitaly is getting old, and Wlad may still have that weak chin that he is trying so hard to protect, with that boring style.Posted April 29, 2013 3:01 pm
Hey Tark, what do you say about Wlad fighting another legend in Pianeta ? Do you believe Pianeta would stand a chance against the likes of ron Lyle, Norton or Foreman, are you sure he's better than ruddy lubbers, or Evangelista ?
Textbook Hayelord
Must be difficult to get motivated to train for a guy like Pianeta, Wlad's level will drop if he fights to many guys like this.
Wlad should have just fought Povetkin now instead of later in the year, Povetkin is no threat but Pianeta is just pointless.Posted April 29, 2013 1:46 pm

Wlad's recent opponents have been very poor Thompson, Wach, Mormeck and now pianta all level c fighters – there are so many decent match ups that could be made with pulev, fury, povetkin, banks, stiverne even a Haye rematch – hopefully teh K brotehrs retire soon and we can have some decnt match ups as the rest fight for the titlesPosted April 29, 2013 1:03 pm

After this change his name to PinataPosted April 29, 2013 12:56 pm
As much as I like the Klitschko bros, but I won't pay to see a sparring. I'd like to see Vlad fight Pulev. I think that's the best opponent out there at the moment. Fury is still too green, and the others are avoiding the K Bros.Posted April 29, 2013 12:53 pm

Hoping for the upset ….. more so than usual because of yet another bullsh+t match-up for the linear heavyweight champ. This belongs in the Mormeck catagory of bullsh+t match-ups.Posted April 29, 2013 12:51 pm
problem is the better HW are busy fighting bums too!!!Posted April 29, 2013 12:48 pm

[show]Ricky Nelson's launch as a rock star on this series is an interesting tale. He was already musically talented, having inherited his ability from his parents. As rock-n-roll was starting to grow and Ricky's interest in the music grew, he kept asking father Ozzie Nelson to let him play on the show. Initially, Ozzie resisted until he realized that it was an opportunity to take advantage of Ricky's growth as a "teen idol" and would thereby help the show's popularity. Ricky first sang a cover of Fats Domino's "I'm Walking" on the episode "Ricky the Drummer" and soon afterward more episodes were tailored around showcasing Ricky's talents. However, not everyone was pleased with his foray into Rock-n-Roll. Most parents in America were still concerned that rock would be a bad influence on their children and many wrote letters to Ozzie and Harriet Hilliard protesting their allowing their son to take part in the music. The Nelsons dealt with the furor by injecting moments in the episodes in which Ozzie and/or Harriet would offer a sound and practical reasoning for supporting their son's music. With that, the furor died down and Ricky went on to become a major rocker with hits like "It's Late", "Traveling Man" and "Hello, Mary Lou".

Hot Button: Wine sales in grocery stores
Tennessee House Speaker Beth Harwell, R-Nashville, cast the deciding vote last week to send a bill that would authorize wine sales in grocery stores out of a House subcommittee for the first time ever. After Harwell voted to kill an attempt to defer the wine-sales issue to July 2014, the measure moved on to the House State and Local Government Committee. The Senate version of the bill, which would let voters at the local level decide whether to allow grocery and convenience stores to sell wine in their communities, is awaiting review in the Senate Finance Committee.
Harwell said she voted to send the bill out of committee to spur negotiations between liquor retailers and wholesalers on one side and grocery stores and big-box retailers like Costco on the other. Legislative leaders are trying to get liquor stores to end their flat opposition to wine sales in grocery stores in return for legislation to allow liquor retailers to be open longer hours and on Sunday, to own more than one store, and to sell items other than liquor, wine and lottery tickets.
But Chip Christianson, a Nashville liquor retailer and board member of the Tennessee Wine and Spirits Retailers Association, vowed to continue trying to kill the bill outright. "I don't really know what that (negotiations) means. As a retailer, I don't want any more hours. As an association, we don't think Sunday sales are a good idea. And I'll show you around liquor stores: we don't have room for beer. I don't want beer. ..."
Here are excerpts from readers' comments on a story about Harwell's vote that was posted Wednesday at commercialappeal.com.

(dolasetron mesylate) Tablets
ANZEMET (dolasetron mesylate) is an antinauseant and antiemetic agent. Chemically, dolasetron mesylate is (2α,6α,8α,9aβ)-octahydro-3-oxo-2,6-methano-2H-quinolizin-8-yl-1Hindole-3-carboxylate monomethanesulfonate, monohydrate.

But they show no lifesaving benefit over bare-metal version, studies show
WEDNESDAY, May 6 (HealthDay News) -- Although arteries propped open by drug-coated stents are less likely to become blocked again than those treated with bare-metal stents, the risk of death and heart attacks is virtually identical between the two devices, major studies in Sweden and the United States show.
The Swedish results eliminate concerns raised by an earlier study that the drug-coated stents might actually be more dangerous, said Dr. Stefan K. James, an associate professor of cardiology at Uppsala University and lead author of the Swedish study appearing in the May 7 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
The earlier study, of Swedes given stents in 2003 and 2004, found a higher death rate among those who got the drug-coated kind. The follow-up study of 47,967 Swedes who had stents implanted between 2003 and 2006 found "no overall difference between the group that received drug-eluting stents and the group that received bare-metal stents in the combined endpoint of death or myocardial infarction [heart attack]," the report said.
But the rate of re-stenosis -- new blockage of the treated artery -- was three per 100 patient years versus 4.7 for the bare-metal recipients.
So the earlier result was "just a scary signal" that proved to be false, James said.
"For me, this paper shows that there should now be no real concerns about the safety of drug-eluting stents and that the emphasis should shift back to considering the relative efficacy of drug-eluting stents and bare-metal stents," Dr. Eric Eeckhout, a spokesman for the European College of Cardiology, said in a statement.

The moment our eyes locked
I knew it was you
now i'm stuck like glue
I promise its true
how the girls must have flocked
to drown in those eyes
I still hear their sighs
Oh, I sympathize
their advances you blocked
and you said for me
said i set you free
and i'm all you see
but its my world you rocked
with your charm and wit
and my fires were lit
with the lip you bit
Overwhelmed, I am shocked
cos' your mine to keep
so true and so deep
so I take the leap

Fingerprints is based on the widely publicized urban legend that took place 50 years ago in a small Texas town, where a school bus filled with children was hit by a train killing everyone on-board. The ghosts of the children are supposedly still in the area where the accident took place. It is said that if a car is put in neutral on the railroad tracks, the children will push the car off the tracks, leaving only their ghostly fingerprints behind. The movie centers on a troubled teenager who discovers the gruesome truth behind the legend.
