In a clash of unbeaten welterweights, Konstantin Ponomarev (28-0, 13 KOs) scored a ten round unanimous decision over Mikael Zewski (26-1, 20 KOs) on Friday night at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The Abel Sanchez-trained Ponomarev set the tone early, taking the normally aggressive Zewski out of his game with a sharp jab. Zewski landed occasional power shots, but after ten highly tactical rounds, Ponomarev won by scores of 99-91, 97-93, 98-92. With the win, Ponomarev claimed the NABF championship.
In the opening bout, Russian 2012 Olympic light heavyweight gold medalist Egor Mekhostev (9-0, 7 KOs) won a unanimous decision over Frenchman Hakim Zoulikha (21-6, 10 KOs). Mekhostev controlled the fight throughout the eight rounds and dominated Zoulikha. All three judges scored the bout 80-72. (more…)

Latest Mayweather Sr., Roach quotes
Floyd Mayweather Sr. and Freddie Roach, trainers for Floyd "Money" Mayweather and Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, respectively, met with the media Thursday to discuss Saturday's welterweight championship showdown between Mayweather and Pacquiao live on pay-per-view at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Floyd Mayweather Sr: "To be honest with you, it's not going to be much of a fight. This fight has already been won. We can beat Manny any day, any time, any year, any moment. Manny's best performance was when he got knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez. I think it's best for Floyd to choose what he wants to do at the end of the year. I think he should retire, because if he sticks around, somebody is going to get you sooner or later."
Freddie Roach: "We've have trained so hard for this fight. This fight has two of the best fighters fighting each other. I've been training Manny for this fight for five years. We know all about him, we have covered all the bases. I think we have the winning formula to win this fight. If we were to lose to an undefeated fighter like this, there's no shame in that. Floyd's a good fighter, but he has picked his opponents. I don't think he picked Manny. I think he was forced to take this fight. Manny was down to 143 pounds yesterday, so I told him to eat a good meal and then we will do a light workout later today. Tomorrow he will have breakfast in the morning and then get on the scale."

Ex-Olympic Gold Medalist Murata halts Ataide; ex-champ Yaegashi flattens Songsaenlek in two
By Joe Koizumi
Former Olympic middleweight gold medalist, WBC#7/IBF#12 Ryota Murata (7-0, 5 KOs), 161.75, scored his career-best stoppage over WBO#15 Douglas Damiao Ataide (13-2-1, 6 KOs), 161, from Brazil, over ten frames in the main event on Friday in Tokyo, Japan.
Murata returned his original peek-a-boo style with which he had gained the gold medal in London, and almost perfectly blocked Ataide's busy combinations and retaliated with heavier punches to the face and the belly. Ataide accelerated his attack to have Murata on the defensive in the third and fourth, but the Japanese, five years his senior at 29, was patient enough to wait for openings to fight back with his powerful rights. Just after the fatal fifth started, Murata exploded a very strong right to the neck under the ear, dropping Ataide on the deck. The Brazilian was on the feet, but Murata furiously swarmed over him and decked him again with a fusillade of punches to have the referee Yuji Fukuchi declare a well-timed halt. It seems the best stoppage that Murata displayed after he began fighting in the paid ranks in August 2013.
Formerly two-class champ Akira Yaegashi (21-5, 11 KOs), 115, returned to ring warfare and showed a breath-taking TKO victory over Thailand's Songsaenglek Phoswangym (18-12, 5 KOs), 115, at 2:05 of the second round. Yaegashi looked very sharp in countering the taller Thailander with a solid right to floor him in the closing seconds of the opening canto. Songsaenglek had a narrow escape, but the second session witnessed Yaegashi's right cross over his left hand stretch him with a thud with the ref immediately calling a TKO without counting over the flattened pancake.

Miura stops Dib in three to keep WBC 130lb belt
By Joe Koizumi
Hard-punching southpaw Japanese, WBC super-feather champ Takashi Miura (29-2-2, 22 KOs), 130, impressively kept his belt when he dropped ex-IBF feather titlist, WBC#6 Billy Dib (39-4-1NC), 130, from Australia, and halted him at 1:29 of the third round on Friday in Tokyo, Japan. Miura registered his fourth successful defense since he dethroned Mexican Gamaliel Diaz via ninth round TKO in April 2013. The slick-punching Dib, from the outset, utilized his shifty footwork to avert mixing it up with the Rocky Marciano stylist, and his strategy looked fine in the first two sessions as Miura failed to catch the elusive target.
Miura, however, positively kept stalking the Aussie footworker and finally pinned him to the ropes midway in round three, when he connected with a pulverizing southpaw left that bounced the face off and followed up with another vicious left to the face. Dib sank under the lowest ropes in the neutral corner and his face was almost out of the squared circle—on the apron. The Australian ex-champ barely raised himself up but couldn't maintain his equilibrium, and the Panamanian referee Hector Afu (Panama) wisely declared a well-received halt then and there.
Miura, nicknamed "Bomber" here, showed his technical improvement while still kept his vaunted power punching, which proved too much for the Australian Billy the Kid.

Leo Santa Cruz: The fights the fans want, we're going to give it to them
Undefeated WBC super bantamweight world champion Leo "El Terremoto" Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 KOs) is looking to impress when he takes on unheralded Jose Cayetano (17-3, 8 KOs) in a 10-round featherweight contest in the Mayweather-Pacquiao PPV co-feature on Saturday night.
"I know that everybody is here for Mayweather and Pacquiao but there will still be millions seeing me fight and I want to show them who Leo Santa Cruz is so that I can get a lot more fans," he told reporters on Thursday. "I'm still young and there are many more fights to come. The fights the fans want, we're going to give it to them. I know those fights are going to happen. I want to look spectacular and I want to get Cayetano out of there really fast."
Lomachenko excited to show what he can do
Arguably the greatest amateur boxer of all-time with two Olympic gold medals and two Amateur world championships, 27-year-old WBO featherweight world champion Vasyl Lomachenko (3-1, 1 KO) has quickly made his mark in the professional ranks. He will defend his world title for the second time against WBO #1 rated contender Gamalier Rodriguez (25-2-3, 17 KOs) in the TV opener on the Mayweather-Pacquiao PPV telecast on Saturday night.
"This is an opportunity to show everyone what I'm capable of doing and for millions of viewers to see that I can do it," said Lomachenko. "The best fighters get the best opportunities in the ring, there are a lot of great fighters getting those opportunities including myself. It's always a good feeling when people are saying good things about you. I'm very excited to be involved in a bout such as this one, May 2 will be a big show shown around the world. I'm very happy to be in the opening bout for this huge fight."
Gamalier Rodriguez: I will win, I'm sure of it!
WBO #1 rated featherweight Gamalier Rodriguez (25-2-3, 17 KOs) is confident he'll dethrone world champion Vasyl Lomachenko (3-1, 1 KO) when they meet in the TV opener on the Mayweather-Pacquiao PPV telecast on Saturday night.
"I will win! I'm sure of it. I will be champion," declared Rodriguez on Thursday. "All of the attention toward Vasyl Lomachenko gives me motivation. I've been a fighter and a boxer since I was young and it's added motivation to come out on top this weekend. I know that Lomachenko is a good and technical fighter but it doesn't compare to my hunger and drive to be world champion.
"I wanted to take the opportunity during my speech at the press conference to let everyone know that I came here to fight. It's going to be a hard fought battle and I'm very confident that I'll win and become the champion this Saturday."
Cayetano: I feel very strongly that I will win
Coming off a bad loss to a fighter who lost three straight, the last place unheralded super bantamweight Jose Cayetano (17-3, 8 KOs) expected to be is in the co-feature for the Mayweather-Pacquiao "Fight of the Century." However, against all odds, Cayetano now finds himself matched against WBC super bantamweight world champion Leo "El Terremoto" Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 KOs) in a 10-round non-title featherweight contest. "I'm very happy and very grateful and very excited to get into the ring. It's a huge commitment, the entire world will be watching me but that is why I accepted the fight, I know that if I beat him, bigger and better opportunities will come my way," Cayetano said Thursday.
"I'm not nervous because it's not the first time that I've faced a tough opponent. I've never faced a world champion but I've faced opponents that throw hard punches, so I'm not nervous, I'm excited. I know that Leo Santa Cruz is a strong, difficult fighter but he also has weaknesses and that is what we prepared for, to give him a surprise…I'm a man that takes challenges and I've been preparing very hard. I'm always prepared for these types of fights. I'm very prepared and I feel very strongly that I will win."

Smith defeats McCalla, Theophane survives Montes
Two days before the much-anticipated welterweight unification title fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, the boxing weekend kicked off with a Mayweather Promotions card at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
In the main event, former world titleholder and hometown hero Ishe "Sugar Shay" Smith (27-7, 12 KOs) hammered out a one-sided ten round unanimous decision over Cecil McCalla (20-2, 7 KOs) in a junior middleweight bout. Scores were 97-93, 97-93, 98-92.
Light-welterweight Ashley Theophane (38-6-1, 11 KOs) scored a split decision over Mahonri Montes (29-5-1, 20 KOs). During round 10, the last round of the fight, Montes knocked down Theophane. Two judges scored 96-93 for Theophane and the last judge scored it 96-93 for Montes.
Gesta and Molina battle to a draw
By David Robinett at ringside
In a spirited, back and forth contest, super lightweight Mercito Gesta, (28-1-2, 16 KOs), battled Carlos Molina, (17-2-2, 7 KOs), to a split decision draw in the main event of the FOX Sports 1 telecast Thursday night at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif. Although the scores of the bout were widely divergent after the 95-95 scorecard, with one judge scoring the fight 98-92 for Molina and the other judge scoring the fight 96-94 for Gesta, all three scores could be considered legitimate, as Molina clearly landed the heavier punches while Gesta controlled long stretches of each round with his jab and quick combinations while keeping just out of Molina's range, though less so as the fight wore on.
This was a proverbial crossroads fight, with the loser likely to be relegated to an afterthought in the division, and Molina in particular fought with great urgency, eschewing the traditional glove tap to start the fight with a quick left hook to Gesta's head. Gesta, whose only loss came in an unsuccessful title challenge in 2012 to Miguel Vasquez, had most of his success standing in the center of the ring, darting in and out to land quick combinations before Molina could counter. However Molina, whose only losses were to Amir Khan and Adrian Broner, had some success timing Gesta coming in, particularly with his left hand, and clearly landed the heavier blows when the two combatants traded blows in the pocket. Gesta was able to limit the sustained combat in the early rounds but as the bout wore on the two fighters spent more time trading punches, which presumably secured the draw for Molina. (more…)

Oscar hopes Mayweather-Pacquiao is exciting
Golden Boy President Oscar de la Hoya has issued a statement on Mayweather vs. Pacquaio and Canelo vs. Kirkland over the next two weeks.
"The week around Cinco De Mayo will serve as perhaps the most exciting seven-day stretch in the great history of boxing, launching with the May 2 super-fight between the biggest stars of today and closing with the May 9 Texas battle featuring the biggest star of tomorrow, Canelo Alvarez. As for my May 2 prediction, my head says Mayweather, but my heart goes with Pacquiao. Whoever wins, my ultimate hope is that the fight is exciting for the millions of fans tuning in. They waited far too long for this match, and they deserve to see something dazzling in the ring.

Floyd Sr: Pacquiao can't punch, I'm going to have Floyd walk him down
While Manny Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach has been making daily headlines, Floyd Mayweather's trainer and father Floyd Mayweather Sr. has been less vocal. Senior didn't speak during Wednesday's final press conference, but he did get in a few digs afterward.
"Whatever happens on Saturday, it's going to be one-sided," said Mayweather Sr. "Pacquiao is going to sleep. I'm a trainer, I know what's going on with fighters. Pacquiao doesn't have it. Everybody can say what they want to say. I've said it before, Pacquiao can't punch. I'm not worried about it. I'm going to have Floyd walk him down."
Roach: I think we will win a decision and outpoint this guy
"When this fight was announced, Manny's training level went way up," said Freddie Roach, trainer of Manny Pacquiao. "He's really excited about this fight. I think we will win a decision and outpoint this guy. If the knockout comes then that will be a bonus.
"I think Manny likes to be the underdog. We like pulling upsets and doing things we're not supposed to do. Manny is going to be that guy.
"We will put a lot of pressure on Floyd. Manny likes to exchange and with his hand speed, this fight will go in our favor. Manny is reckless, but that's his style. He tries to win fights and people enjoy his fights. He gives it his all and sometimes you get knocked out, that's part of boxing."

Mortgage debt overhang from the housing bust has meant lack of middle-class spending power, and low consumer demand is preventing the economy from growing. The problem might be fixed by a new approach from the Fed. But if the Fed won't act, counties will, as seen in the latest developments on eminent domain and litigation over MERS.

While in these last months the NSA has cast a long, dark shadow over American privacy, don't for a second imagine that it's the only government agency systematically and often secretly intruding on our lives. A remarkable traffic jam of local, state, and federal government authorities turn out to be exploiting technology to wriggle into the most intimate crevices of our lives.

Local and state governments having a hard time making ends meet are "quietly taxing a group even more cash-strapped than they are: the poor," writes Leah A. Plunkett at Salon.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- While the playoff-bound Philadelphia 76ers rested a handful of their regulars, the Detroit Pistons' season finale was a tale of two Bens. Reserve guard Ben Gordon poured in 26 points, including eight 3-pointers, as the Pistons cruised to a 108-86 victory over the 76ers at The Palace on Thursday night. Center Ben Wallace, playing perhaps the final game of his career, added seven points and 12 rebounds. "We just wanted to come out and honor Body (Wallace)," said Gordon, who made seven 3-pointers in the second quarter as the Pistons tied an NBA record with 11 in the quarter. "This might be his last game, and we all felt inspired tonight. My teammates did a good job of finding me, especially in that second quarter. I was able to make a lot of shots. It was a lot of fun." The loss ensures the 76ers, who entered with a four-game winning streak, will be the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Philadelphia will play a best-of-seven series against top-...

AIP Foundation wrapped up the Vietnamese school year with several exciting events and reflected on the outstanding helmet use results achieved nationwide.
In May 2015, more than 1,000 students and their families shouted "I Love Helmets" in Ho Chi Minh City. The phrase was heard among students across Ho Chi Minh City as part of a family event encouraging helmet use. Organized under AIP Foundation's Helmets for Kids program, the event included a poster exhibition, creative road safety competitions, and several interactive road safety games to improve the awareness and significance of child helmet use. This family event was the first-ever citywide gathering for school students and their families to participate in road safety activities together.
A few days later, a helmet donation ceremony took place in Hanoi on the occasion of the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Charles H. Rivkin's visit. This is the first event to take place under the new partnership between AIP Foundation and the U.S. Department of State and is one of many that supports the 20th anniversary of normalized diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Vietnam. Assistant Secretary of State Rivkin participated in a symbolic helmet handover at the event that represents the U.S.-Vietnam shared vision of a safer future for its children. Helmets were distributed to all 671 students and teachers.
On a national level, government agencies and AIP Foundation organized a midterm review of the National Child Helmet Action Plan in early May. Delegates from ministries, departments, and provincial levels across Vietnam shared implementation experiences, discussed the direction for the Action Plan's next phase, and celebrated achievements. Average child helmet use across Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Danang was 38% at baseline. After the launch of the National Child Helmet Action Plan and related police enforcement, child helmet use increased significantly to 68% across the three cities.
Without your contributions, these accomplishments would not have been possible. We want to achieve even better results for the upcoming school year. To do this, we need your continued support. In the lead up to the start of the school year in September, please consider telling your friends and family about our project - share the link on your blogs or social networks, use the tell-a-friend feature on the project page, or just bring us up in conversation. Thank you for spreading the word!
United Nations Global Road Safety Week is an international initiative that features hundreds of events hosted by governments, international agencies, civil society organizations, and private companies to raise awareness of road safety. This year's UN Global Road Safety Week took place from May 4th to 10th and was titled #SaveKidsLives, themed around "Children and Road Safety." #SaveKidsLives seeks to highlight the plight of children on the world's roads, calls on leaders to take action, and advocates for the inclusion of road safety in the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals.
AIP Foundation conducted a wide range of activities across Cambodia in celebration of UN Global Road Safety Week.
96 newly enrolled students received free helmets and road safety education on May 7th. The event took place at Sampov Meas Primary School and focused on raising students' awareness of safe road behaviors while calling on authorities to commit to safer roads for children.
Cambodian students also signed the Child Declaration for Road Safety, a declaration that calls on decision-makers to commit to improving road safety for children. On May 7th, the Child Declaration was presented to the Secretary General of the National Road Safety Committee and Deputy Director of Central Department of Public Order from the National Police in Phnom Penh.
Lastly, AIP Foundation conducted street-based activities in six target districts under the "Head Safe. Helmet On." project and in support of UN Global Road Safety Week. We engaged police and Commune Road Safety Committee members in each district to implement activities. Police stopped motorcyclists with un-helmeted passengers, and committee members educated passengers on the importance of helmet use and provided them with educational flyers. The project also provides subsidized helmets to motorcycle passengers who reside in target communes.
Road safety education and awareness raising is crucial for the protection of children and their families on the roads. With your support, we hope to create a generation of smart and safe road users in Cambodia. Let's work together to #SaveKidsLives.
On March 17, 2015, AIP Foundation organized a kick-off ceremony in Quang Nam Province to mark another year of Helmets for Kids. This is the first year Quang Nam Province schools are receiving helmet donations and road safety education under the Helmets for Kids program. Five primary schools in Quang Nam Province received 2,987 helmets at the ceremony. Representatives from the National Traffic Safety Committee (NTSC), Ministry of Education and Training (MoET), and local partners attended the ceremony and took part in the symbolic helmet handover.
A total of 9,100 helmets will be distributed to primary students and teachers at 44 schools across Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Dong Nai, and Quang Nam provinces throughout 2015. The remaining helmets will be distributed in September at the start of the 2015-2016 school year to primary schools in these four provinces. The selected schools are located in four of 15 major provinces implementing the National Child Helmet Action Plan. The Action Plan is coordinated by AIP Foundation, NTSC, and other road safety supporters and aims to reach 80% child helmet-wearing rates by 2016.
On April 2, 2015, the C67 traffic police and NTSC launched the National Enforcement Action Plan for child helmet use. The National Enforcement Action Plan will be applied and implemented in provinces across Vietnam and will connect all relevant agencies, including district-, commune-, and village-level enforcement with the ability to enhance police monitoring together. The National Enforcement Action Plan is a part of the larger National Child Helmet Action Plan, which aims to significantly increase child helmet-wearing rates.
Representatives from the C67, NTSC, MoET, traffic police, and supporting partners attended the launch. An "enhanced police enforcement" week scheduled from April 6-10, 2015 is a major component of the plan.
As part of the "enhanced police enforcement" week, police and public security forces will patrol schools for compliance with the child helmet law. From April 6-9, motorcycle drivers whose children are not wearing helmets will be stopped and given a 'reminder' and all violation cases will be reported to the schools to take further action. These 'reminders' will shift to traffic penalty fines on April 10, 2015. Police will then begin strict enforcement for violators who do not put helmets on child passengers.
This government prioritization of child helmet use would not have been possible without your support. Your contributions have enabled us to implement our Helmets for Kids programs, which involves a component of government engagement. Through the implementation of our school-based programs, we have strengthened our relationships with the government, increased their focus on road safety, and built their capacity to effectively improve Vietnam's roads. The National Child Helmet Action Plan is a key example, and similar policy changes will lead to more sustainable and widespread interventions that protect Vietnamese children from road traffic casualties.

Book fair attracts crowds from afar
Relevant offers
Book lovers raced to find some rare reads when the gates opened for the Founders Book Fair this weekend.
First in line on Saturday morning was Glenn Haszard, who had been waiting since 7am, and had travelled up from Christchurch especially to buy books to sell online.
He's made the annual mission for the past 13 years, and he enjoyed seeing his fellow-fair goers, as much as the book hunting.
"I've become friends with people who come every year. There's lots of good banter here, you hear lots of jokes."
Waiting with bags in hands for the 10am opening, he planned to spend $500 and "load up the van" with his finds.
Haszard was after a range of books and made a beeline towards the higher priced, special and rare books first. From there, he had a plan to visit the other tables, to see what would make the trip back to Christchurch that evening.
The Founders Hall had books divided into different sections, from animals, to prose, politics, to humour, to hunting and fishing.
Haszard said the range of books reflected well on Nelson.
"It's quite amazing for the size of Nelson; it says a lot about the city by the sort of books you have."
Despite Haszard being first in line, Nelson City councillor Tim Skinner was first through the doors to the hall. He had a "friendly" rivalry running race with tennis coach Alastair Cotterill and this year was no exception. The pair pounded the pavement, bags flapping alongside them as they raced ahead of other book lovers caught up in the excitement.
Skinner was looking to add to his own collection of books, and buy his children something new to read.
"I went for the special value books first; they are interesting, older books."
He said the book fair was great for Nelson and showed people still cared for physical books. Many that he bought were not available digitally.
"You won't find them on the internet. Some are 150 to 200 years old."
Organiser Karen Clark agreed, she said the numbers at the book fair showed "people still cared for print media."
"This is probably one of the biggest crowds we have had on an opening day. Even some of our regular buyers said they were quite surprised."
Friends Jan Dahl and Heather Cole had driven over to Nelson from Takaka "at the crack of dawn" to stock up on some reading.
Dahl had been to the event for the past five years, and convinced Cole to come this year - her first time.
They had waited since 8.30am and "galloped in" they joked.
Cole said it was "wonderful. I am enjoying it, everyone is very friendly, and you talk to people while in line."
She had brought a bag to fill, and was after books about history, politics and international relations.
She spend $20 and had about 20 books to keep her busy.
"I would have brought more but I can't carry them. Once I start a book I can read it in one sitting."
She said she will "definitely" be back next year.
Carla Glasgow was rummaging through children's books with her keen bookworms, Eddie, 3 and Iris, 5. They had picked up some Enid Blyton books as well as a Twister set.
"They just love it, they love books. Iris is really into reading."
She liked the recycling aspect..
"If they take a shine to something during the year we'll keep it, otherwise I'll bring them back for the next fair."
The annual Founders Book Fair runs until Sunday, from 10am-4.30pm every day. Daily entry fee is $2 or $5 for a nine-day pass.

The whole world mourns Nelson Mandela. Rightly.
But, as usual, some politically and historically challenged liberals have seen the passing of a great man of history as a chance to take more cheap potshots at Ronald Reagan.
One human rights attorney, Gay McDougall, made a fool of herself on "Good Morning America."
She claimed that while many Americans were urging our government to use economic sanctions to pressure South Africa to end apartheid in the 1980s, "Ronald Reagan wanted to solidify, you know, U.S. support for apartheid."
That was a pretty dumb thing to say for a 66-year-old who attended Yale Law School. But at least McDougall wasn't pretending to be a fair and balanced TV news reporter the way Andrea Mitchell does.
Mitchell bared her liberal biases -- and historical amnesia -- to the world during her report on Mandela's death on the "Today" show.
Instead of concentrating on praising Mandela, Mitchell felt she had to remind her viewers that "The U.S. wasn't always on Mandela's side."
Then she pointed out that "President Reagan supported the apartheid regime, a cold war ally, even as protests broke out on college campuses across America demanding that the U.S. punish the regime...."
Mitchell went on to say that Congress, including some key Republicans, had to override my father's veto of the South African economic sanctions "that helped break the apartheid regime."
Truth, accuracy, fairness, political balance, historical perspective, the complex geopolitics of the Cold War?
Mitchell, like McDougall, didn't bother with that complicated stuff.
It was all about race. And Ronald Reagan was, as usual, called on stage to play the bad guy.
It's the only role my father gets when the lefty news and entertainment media do their dirty historical work. The latest example was the movie "The Butler," last summer's liberal fantasy about Eugene Allen, the real-life White House butler.
But let's give Mitchell the benefit of a few doubts she doesn't deserve.
Maybe she forgot that Mandela was also in jail during the JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford and Carter administrations.
Maybe it slipped her mind that those presidents didn't push for economic sanctions to force the end of apartheid in South Africa.
Apartheid was a horrible system of oppression. But until it ended, the Cold War was more important to American presidents.
They had to keep their eyes on the bigger global picture. That meant supporting the racist regime of South Africa, our only important ally in the region during a time when Moscow was busy inciting revolutions there.
It's unfair and simplistic for the media to single out my father and smear him for being soft on apartheid because he vetoed Congress' economic sanctions against South Africa.
My father detested apartheid and wanted to see it end. But he thought economic sanctions -- which hurt South Africa's poorest black citizens the most -- would be counterproductive.
Andrea Mitchell doesn't remember. But after my father's veto of the sanctions was overridden by Congress, he said the debate wasn't about "whether or not to oppose apartheid but, instead, how best to oppose it and how best to bring freedom to that troubled country."
Ronald Reagan did not kiss up to South Africa's leaders, he was in their face.
One of his first moves was to send his close aide William Clark to tell Prime Minister Pieter Botha to his face how much my father abhorred apartheid.
Later my father appointed the first black ambassador to South Africa, Edward Perkins.
And in 1986 he said that as necessary step to achieving political peace in South Africa, all political prisoners, including Nelson Mandela, "should be released to participate in the country's political process."
Ronald Reagan called apartheid "a malevolent and archaic system totally alien to our ideals."
Given the realities of the Cold War, and contrary to the selective memories of Andrea Mitchell and her friends, he did the best he could to help Nelson Mandela put an end to it.

They will be the ultimate books for "Peanuts'" fans the world over. These first volumes will be of particular fascination to "Peanuts" aficionados. Many of the strips from the series' first two or three years have never been collected before, in large part because they showed a young Schulz working out the kinks in his new strip.

Author information
The creator of beloved cartoon Peanuts, "CHARLES SCHULZ was an innovative genuis of American comics and also the marathon man, drawing panel after four-square panel, year after year, creating a fantasy world that connected to kids as well as adults and all based on powerful iconic characters who express deep feelings of loneliness and resentment and despair...We remember him with love and admiration and gratitude for his gifts and his heroic endurance." -Garrison Keillor
Review quote
"'An extraordinary publishing project.' Time 'So well-done that any reader will be impatient for the rest of the series, but in the meantime this is a book to savour.' Amazon.com 'Now that Schulz is gone, the comic he drew for fifty years looks more eccentric and ingenious all the time.' Washington Post"

We wanted you to know how much we appreciate the care you took to ensure its safe and fast delivery. We'll do business again one day. Review by Dave M. (Posted on 6/11/2013)
Two years ago, when my husband returned from Iraq, he offered to buy me a wedding ring to go with the engagement ring I already had. I looked into it and found out getting a custom made band for the ring I already had would cost as much as the higher carat weight engagement ring I had. It was never that comfortable anyway, so I started looking at vintage rings with comfortable bands. We found the perfect Art Deco era ring at Gesner for a very reasonable price.
It is comfortable and the old European cut diamond in the center is amazingly beautiful. I was impressed by the wide selection of vintage jewelry Gesner had to offer as well as pleased with the polite salestaff. I would highly recommend this store to anyone seeking vintage jewelry and a pleasant purchasing experience. Review by Amy B (Posted on 8/25/2013)
- I knew as soon as I got the ring it was perfect. I couldn't wait and proposed the same day. She said yes and loves the ring. She says it is perfect and exactly what she wanted. Thank you so much! We love it! Review by Nicholas M. (Posted on 2/22/2012)

SPCA Of Texas Offers $2,000 Reward In Burned Cat Case
WILLS POINT (CBSDFW.COM) – The SPCA of Texas is offering $2,000 as a reward to the person or people who provide information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator(s) who has allegedly severely burned a cat in the Cochise Village neighborhood of Wills Point on March 11, 2014. The cat has third degree burns down its back and on its ears, and is currently in the care of a veterinarian, according to a press release.
The SPCA of Texas points out that animal cruelty is often an early warning sign of violent tendencies that will be acted out against people. Childhood cruelty to animals has been linked to later antisocial and aggressive behavior in several retrospective studies.
"There is a well-documented link between animal cruelty and human violence." said SPCA of Texas President James Bias. "Helping the Hunt County Constable bring this individual to justice will help stop the cycle of abuse."
April is Animal Cruelty Prevention Month, and the SPCA of Texas, the Hunt County Constable Pct. 1 and the Hunt County District Attorney are partnering to raise awareness about animal cruelty by asking anyone who sees suspected animal cruelty or abuse to contact their local law enforcement agency and the SPCA of Texas. To report suspected cruelty or abuse to the SPCA of Texas, call 214.742.SPCA or visit spca.org/abuse.
Anyone with information on this case should contact the SPCA of Texas at 214.461.1850.

The musician Alam Khan demonstrates a major scale on the sarode with the Indian note names. The sarode is a stringed musical instrument used mainly in Indian classical music. Alam Khan explains how the ragas are derived from the ten basic scales. Ragas are used to express different moods through music such as sadness and joy. A short excerpt from a concert performance is followed by an explanation of the use of scales, known as 'thats'.

Classroom Ideas
Give each group of students a different raga to work with, and an indication of the possible mood which they should try to express. Students can then compose a short melodic piece based only on the notes of their raga.

Purgatori #1
"Purgatori" #1 leaves a lot to be desired, as this incarnation struggles to find the right idea to build the story around in a satisfying manner.

Spread #1
"Spread" #1 by Justin Jordan and Kyle Strahm has a familiar story of a parasitic monster, but it's the execution that makes this a fun, gripping and gruesome read.
