What's Next for the UFC on Fox 6 Main Card Fighters?
Last night in Chicago fans at the United Center and at home watching on Fox were treated to four highly entertaining bouts as the UFC presented: UFC on Fox 6: Johnson vs. Dodson. The UFC and Fox seem to have really hit their stride as their past three events have all put out some great fights. That trend seems as though it will continue when they partner up again in April with UFC on Fox 7: Melendez vs. Henderson.
Eight men walked into the Octagon last night, four walked out happy and four left disappointed. Speculation will run wild as to who the winners and losers will face next and I am more than happy to take a stab at playing Joe Silva for a day. Let's take a look at what's next for the main card fighters from last nights card.
Demetrious Johnson- Mighty Mouse walked into the Octagon as UFC Flyweight Champion and walked out with the belt still strapped around his waist. There were a few moments where he looked to be in serious trouble as John Dodson dropped him a few times, but Johnson showed great poise and kept his composure en route to a unanimous decision victory. With the flyweight division still pretty thin there aren't all that many options for Johnson.
Some are calling for an immediate rematch with Dodson, but Johnson really stepped up in the third round and proved that he is the better fighter at this point in time. For these two to meet again right now would make no sense as Dodson needs time to work on his game. The best option is probably the winner of next week's UFC 156 bout between Ian McCall and Joseph Benavidez. I know Johnson has fought both men already, including McCall twice, but other than John Moraga I don't see anyone who is ready to step into the cage with Johnson just yet.
John Dodson- To be honest I thought Johnson would have an easier time against Dodson last night and thankfully I was wrong. Dodson had Mighty Mouse hurt a couple of times and showed he could handle the pressure of being in the main event of a huge card. Johnson just had more left in his gas tank as the fight wore on. Dodson can only get better and Greg Jackson will have him back in title contention in no time. The obvious way to go here is to have Dodson face the loser of McCall-Benavidez. No matter who he faces it will be a great fight and help get him back in the thick of things.
Rampage Jackson- Glover Teixeira is no joke and he will face Jon Jones or whomever is UFC Light Heavyweight Champion within the next year or so. Jackson should feel no shame in losing to Chuck Liddell's former sparring partner. In fact I thought Jackson looked better last night than he has in a long time, but it just wasn't good enough. His heart is still there, he showed that he will never quit, but his reflexes are slower and his power has decreased. His days at the top of the division are over. Rampage says his days in the Octagon are finished, but I wouldn't count him out just yet. Maybe a long break is what he needs to clear his mind and heal his body. It doesn't make sense to speculate who he will face next until he decides for sure what he wants to do.
Glover Teixeira- Having Jones congratulate you and tell you he believes that you will make for a great fight with him is pretty high praise. It seems as though the hype surrounding Teixeira all these years is certainly warranted. He needs another big win before he gets seriously considered for a title shot. If the winner of the Dan Henderson-Lyoto Machida match-up is going to face the winner of Jones-Chael Sonnen, then maybe Teixeira can face the winner of the Gegard Mousasi-Alexander Gustafsson bout scheduled for April. Better yet, how about Teixeira vs. Phil Davis or the winner of Rashad Evans-Antonio Rogerio Nogueira? The possibilities are endless and all of them would make for highly entertaining fights while offering Teixeira the opponent necessary to get him closer to a title shot.
Ricardo Lamas- With four wins in a row and three of them coming against Erik Koch, Hatsu Hioki and Cub Swanson, Lamas has made a definite claim to face the winner of the Frankie Edgar-Jose Aldo title fight that will take place next Saturday at UFC 156. Keep in mind he has finished all of them but Hioki and is now 4-0 as a featherweight. If the UFC doesn't feel he is ready then have him face former number one contender Chad Mendes who has won two straight since losing to Aldo last January.
Erik Koch- After being out for over 16 months it was a lot to ask of Koch to come in face a fighter of Lamas' caliber right off the bat. I don't care what anyone says, ring rust has to play a factor, you can only simulate so much in practice and sparring with your teammates. Koch is just 24-years-old and has lost only twice, he will be back better than ever. He looked good in the first round and who knows what happens if he doesn't slip in the second round. Regardless, a loss is a loss and he can now go back to Milwaukee with Duke Roufus and regroup. A logical match-up would to have Koch face the loser of the Dustin Poirier-Cub Swanson bout scheduled for next month in England. He was supposed to face Poirier awhile back before being injured and the timing makes perfect sense. If not, he could face Hatsu Hioki who last last night to Clay Guida via split decision.
Anthony Pettis- This is very simple; Pettis will face the winner of the Benson Henderson-Gilbert Melendez UFC Lightweight Championship bout scheduled for April 20 at UFC on Fox 7 in San Jose. There is no need to consider any other possibilities, Pettis has earned his shot at the title. Showtime is coming off of two straight brutal knockout wins against two of the lightweight divisions toughest fighters in Joe Lauzon and Donald Cerrone. He owns a victory over Henderson, a rematch would be fantastic, but then again so would a fight against Melendez.
Donald Cerrone- Another tough loss for Cerrone just as he was climbing his way back towards a title shot. First it was Nate Diaz who knocked him off and this time it's Pettis. That shot to the gut was absolutely brutal and would've put anyone on the mat. Cerrone is a hard worker and is loaded with talent, don't be surprised to see him back in another high profile bout real soon. He knows how to sell a fight and is a tough go for any of the UFC's lightweights. I'd love to see him and Lauzon go at it, that contest has fireworks and Fight of Night written all over it. If not Lauzon, maybe one of the Strikeforce lightweights who are making their way over. KJ Noons sounds like an interesting idea, two guys with good stand-up who love to bang and entertain the fans, doesn't get any better than that.

I call bullshit on the Pettis analysis. Pettis comes into the UFC and gets beat up by Guida for Christ's sake, Then he "loses" to Stephens and gets a couple of TKO's against tough but only top 10 fighters and you think he deserves Bendo? Well I call fu and bullshit. Pettis needs to fight a top 5 wrestler like Maynard or Miller, maybe both, then if he can beat these guys, THEN he would have "earned" a spot against Bendo.
But hey I am good at letting Bendo beat his up again without earning a spot. Just this dudes analysis is full of shit.
you do realize, pettis smashed bendo in the WEC? he was supposed to get a title shot right away because he left the WEC as the champion? i know what your sayin how he hasnt done as good as he can, but the dude is warrior and he deff could beat hendo again. I dont actually see him beating hendo because hes a fucken beast. But still he has atleast earned a title shot by demolishing cowboy like that. either way, pettis will get knocked back down fighting henderson or gilbert.
he didnt "smash" Bendo in the WEC. it was a close fight with Pettis leading the scorecards by alittle, till everyone got mesmerized by his off the fence kick that then solidified his win, but by no means did he SMASH Bendo. The Bendo NOW is not the same as the one he beat in the WEC so now it would be an awesome fight. i would like to see Pettis fight Maynard or Miller though or even Nate Diaz even though he just loss, he's still a top 5 contender till he loses another one, then well hes gonna be another Cerrone.
Did you just copy and paste this from the other page, your about the only person who doesn't think Pettis deserves a shot….You should watch that Guida fight again, it was close Guida just humped him though. Pettis stopped 2 top 5 guys in the first round and definitely deserves the shot after Gil…
No I didn't. It's easy to present your argument when you believe it. This is your problem and all the other armchair "fighters" on this site. Guida DOMINATED Pettis because Pettis could not do shit with Guida's top control. Don't you get it, Pettis was completely neutralized. That means he LOST. He couldn't do what he wanted and Guida controlled the whole fight. That is called domination!!! You kids that have never wrestled or fought have ZERO idea what is going on. For GOD's sake, get in a gym and wrestle and fight. You can say that you don't like that. but when you say he barely lost and was close, indicates how stupid you are. Pettis lost Guida by a LANDSLIDE. (oh and he lost to Stephens too). EVERYBODY that fights knows you are an idiot too.
You patronizing prick, I guarantee if we were face to face you wouldn't be calling me a 'kid' because I would choke you until your eyes popped out. I train 6 days a week how about you???? You're probably a middle aged overweight guy who used to wrestle at high school (probably not very well) and still wears his gay wrestling onesie to watch the UFC. Bottom line Pettis is getting the shot because he deserves it after dominating 2 quality opponents.
Ok Jujitsu Player, first I call you a kid because you post like one with your idiotic kid fantasy bullshit. Second, I am a Div 1 wrestling champion that trains and fights everyday!! AND I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY THIS TO YOUR FACE KID! Your post indicates you are afraid by challenging me by saying you will choke me until my eyes pop out!!! lmao. This is what a kid says!! You wouldn't stand a chance kid. But I accept your challenge. I am 25 and have rolled with many fighters.
Bottom line is Pettis is fighting next and will be exposed as overrated. Just like you and your eye popping boast. What a kid!
Haha I've probably forgotten more about fighting than you'll ever know….25 lol, i was watching the UFC when you were still in little league. I've got regional and divisional gold medals and bronzed in the British championships for Jujitsu so I think I'm fairly well matched for a 25 year old boy like you. I call bullshit on your post because I do train, I have a ton of fight experience and been watching the UFC and MMA long before punks like you thought it was cool. You sound like a little boy talking all tough, calling people out saying they have no idea. you're the one who has no idea, that's why Pettis is getting the shot and btw he fuc$ing beat Stephens so shut the fuc% up.
Cerrone vs Lauzon is fight of the year
I think Dodson should get a rematch now. He should've been more aggressive when he had Johnson hurt. It was the closest fight Johnson has had. And Pettis deserves the shot. Styles make fights. Stylistically Pettis matches up with bendo the best. Pettis has one shot ko power and is very fast and flashy. Both are tae kwon do based stand up. Bendo would've already called out Pettis if he wasn't a little worried about getting beat again. Who wouldn't want to avenge a loss to someone that took your strap.
im pretty sure the closest fight johnson has had was his draw to Ian McCall….think before you speak. And Bendo has already said he would love to fight Pettis again, but he will fight anyone they put in front of him. He understands that his job as champ isnt to pick opponents, but to fight who they throw at him.
Please no more rematchs, you loose you go back down. let the next contender step up. i am so tired of paying to watch a rematch and guys getting title shots who are not top contenders and the get title shot because they call someone out or they are Dana whites buddy (sonnen, belfort, ect)
Regardless who he fights its going to be a rematch or rubber match. There's like 4 125ers.
Kenny Florian may come out of retirement and go for that belt, better odds lol.
Ummm Rampage need's a long break….really? Just long enough to heal and then get his butt back in the cage. Altho he really needs to go back to youth wrestling and learn how to sprawl or throw a wizard in.
Pettis deserves the shot, Diaz got it by beating cowboy and he dominated him in 3 rounds but was not able to finish him! Pettis finished him in 2 min which is way more impressive if u ask me! I believe miller just fought a 3 round war with louzan but couldn't finish him! Pettis finished both in under 3 min. And my point proven exactly.
Jake from State Farm proved me wrong. Sorry, that makes sense. I'm just a fat guy that has nothing to do but bitch about anything. I like boys.
I just REALLY like you girl!!!
glover teixiera vs alexander gustaffson for no1 contender.. anthony pettis vs gray maynard for no1 contender.. donald cerrone vs nate diaz 2.. ricardo lamas vs dennis siver.. demetrious johnson vs winner of mccall/benavidez.. john dodson vs loser of mccall/benavidez.. erik koch vs jonathan brookins
actually.. erik koch vs leonard garcia
anyone else find that Dodson kid annoying?! grinning little buck…that shit was OK for a bit, but he didn't know when to quit. i think the big man DW was annoyed with him too.
I will ONLY agree with you this ONE time!! Lol. Yah that shit-eating grin of his has got to go. He will end up looking like the joker some day!!

China developed a similar
missile, the B611. The first version had a range of 150 kilometers and a .3 ton
warhead. The most recent version has a range of 250 kilometers, and a more
accurate guidance system (using GPS, and possibly terminal guidance.) The B611
and SS-26 both use large trucks to haul them around (some with two missiles per
truck), and to launch from. China wants to use the B611 as mobile heavy
artillery in any attack on Taiwan. The missiles would be aimed at air bases,
naval bases, and other high-value military targets.

(AP) NEW YORK - Former CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien will be contributing reports to the new Al Jazeera America network when it debuts in August.
The network said Monday that O'Brien will report for the network's prime-time magazine series, "America Tonight." Al Jazeera has also made a deal with O'Brien's production company to produce hour-long documentaries.
O'Brien is pioneering a new model since leaving CNN this spring. She's actively building up her company, Starfish Media Group, in making deals with different media outlets. She has also signed on to HBO's "Real Sports" as a reporter for the sports-oriented newsmagazine and is contracted to continue making some documentaries for CNN.

Olympics Day 13: Bolt gets his double-double; U.S. women get revenge
LONDON (CNN) -- Usain Bolt is used to doing things no other man has ever accomplished on the track. On Thursday he added to his impressive resume with a second consecutive Olympic 200 meters title, becoming the first man to ever win showcase sprint events -- the 100 and 200 meters -- in consecutive Olympics.
As the Jamaican made his history, the U.S. women's football team got revenge for its loss in the 2011 World Cup final, beating Japan 2-1 to win its third consecutive Olympic gold medal and fourth overall.
Carli Lloyd scored twice for the United States, which also got a spectacular late-game save from goalie Hope Solo to preserve the win.
Canada defeated France in the closing moments of their bronze-medal game to take the third spot on the podium, with the winning goal from the boot of midfielder Diana Matheson.
At Olympic Stadium, Bolt, running in an outside lane, came off the turn well ahead going down the home stretch.
"It's what I came here to do. I'm now a legend," Bolt said. "I'm also the greatest athlete to live. I am in the same category as (former U.S. sprinter) Michael Johnson."
Johnson won four Olympic gold medals, but ran the 200 and 400 meters.
Bolt's countrymen Yohan Blake and Warren Weir earned the silver and bronze.
American Ashton Eaton won the decathlon while teammate Trey Hardee was second.
History was made in the boxing ring Thursday, as Great Britain's Nicola Adams became the first woman ever to win an Olympic gold and Team USA's Claressa Shields followed with the middleweight title.
"I think I will wear (the gold medal) every day for the first year," Shields said.
Adams' triumph in the flyweight final over China's Ren Cancan was greeted by ear-splitting screams of delight by the home crowd.
"It sounds really good, it's like a dream come true," Adams said. "I've wanted this all my life and it's finally come true. I'd really like to thank all the supporters here and elsewhere. I'm so happy and overwhelmed with joy right now."
Shortly after, Ireland's Katie Taylor came out on top in the first Olympic women's lightweight final, making a spirited comeback in the last round to beat Russia's Sofya Ochigava by 10 points to 8.
Taylor fell to her knees in joy and relief as the victory was announced, giving her country its first gold medal of the Games, before doing a lap of honor around the ring draped in the Irish flag.
Shields' 19-12 victory against Russia's Nadezda Torlopova is a remarkable achievement for the 17-year-old from Flint, Michigan -- and makes her the first American woman to take an Olympic boxing gold.
Flyweight Marlen Esparza, from Texas, took a bronze.
Women's boxing was an exhibition sport in the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis but only made its debut as a full Olympic event at the London 2012 Games. It has proved hugely popular with the crowds and seen skillful sparring in the ring, defying the critics who argued boxing was a man's game.
There was disappointment in the Olympic Stadium earlier Thursday for those hoping to see South Africa's Oscar Pistorius, the first double amputee to compete at the Games, run in the 4 x 400-meter relay.
The baton never reached the hands of the man nicknamed the Blade Runner, for the artificial blades on which he runs, after the second South African runner, Ofentse Mogawane, fell before he could pass it over.
However, in a dramatic turn of events, the South African team was reinstated on appeal and will contest the final Friday, after officials accepted that Mogawane had fallen as a result of obstruction by a Kenyan runner.
Pistorius was delighted by the turnaround in his team's fortunes, the official Olympic website reported.
"It's been absolutely phenomenal, just stepping out there again today on the track in front of a crowd like this has been awesome. This whole experience has just been mind-blowing for me," he is quoted as saying.
And the relay final won't be the last time for the crowds to see Pistorius in action, as he's set to return in the Paralympic Games later this summer to defend his 100-meter, 200-meter and 400-meter titles.
Trinidad and Tobago won the first 4 x 400-meter relay heat, with Great Britain and Cuba in second and third. Team USA, the defending champions, and Russia also qualified for the final, as did the tiny Caribbean nation of the Bahamas.
Venezuela also made it into the relay final on appeal, meaning nine teams will contest the final for the first time.
At North Greenwich Arena, site of the basketball tournaments, the American women earned a spot in the gold medal game, beating fierce rival Australia 86-73. They will meet the winner of the Russia vs. France contest.
Over at Greenwich Park on day 13 of the Games, Great Britain's Charlotte Dujardin, took gold in the individual dressage final, only two days
after helping Team GB win the team dressage gold for the first time.
Dujardin, who only started riding in top level dressage competitions last year, held the Dutch rider Adelinde Cornelissen to silver. Team GB's Laura Bechtolsheimer took bronze and compatriot Carl Hester, who trains Dujardin on her horse Valegro, took fifth.
The latest successes cap a remarkable Games for Britain's equestrian competitors, who have also taken medals in show jumping and eventing.
The U.S. women's volleyball team made it through to the final with a win over South Korea, where it will face either Japan or Brazil.
Beach volleyball queens Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings made it three Olympic golds in a row Wednesday, as they pushed their American rivals April Ross and Jennifer Kessy into silver position.
Also Wednesday, LeBron James became the first men's basketball player to have a triple double in an Olympics game. He scored 11 points, had 14 rebounds and 11 assists to lead the U.S. into the men's semifinals against Argentina.
Hopes were high for Team GB's Keri-Anne Payne, the 10-kilometer open water world champion and Beijing silver medalist, to repeat her success in the Serpentine lake in Hyde Park.
After a hard-fought two-hour race Payne could only manage fourth, though, with gold going to Hungary's Eva Risztov and silver to America's Hayley Anderson.
Thousands of spectators gathered in the sunshine on the banks of the lake, more usually home to swans and geese, to watch the grueling swimming marathon.
Thrills and spills returned to the swooping bumps and turns of the BMX park Thursday, as the men's BMX racing quarterfinals got under way. The event is novel for many spectators as it was only added to the Olympic program in Beijing.
Earlier, Germany took two golds in a busy morning on the waters of Eton Dorney lake.
One went to Franziska Weber and Tina Dietze, who clinched top spot in the women's kayak double (K2), with Hungary in silver and Poland taking bronze.
The other was won by German duo Kurt Kuschela and Peter Kretschmer, who triumphed in the men's kayak double (K2) 1,000-meter canoe sprint final.
After a slow start, Australia is now climbing the medal table. Their latest victory came courtesy of Tate Smith, Dave Smith, Murray Stewart, and Jacob Clear, who took gold in the men's kayak four (K4) 1,000-meter canoe sprint.
Danuta Kozak took gold for Hungary in the women's kayak single (K1) 500-meter final.

In a report issued this morning, KGI's Mingchi Kuo has listed predictions for the October 22nd event to be held at the Yerba Beuna center for the Arts. Clearly, iPads will be front and center, with the thinner, lighter iPad 5 headlining the event. Kuo predicts a slimmer iPad 5 with 20% lighter weight down to 7.5mm and 500g respectively. He also expects an 8 megapixel camera with a larger aperture on the order of the iPhone 5 and a new 64-bit A7X processor. As we've seen since our initial story in January(image below), the iPad 5 shell will have thinner bezels like the iPad mini.
Speaking of the iPad Mini, the prediction is that it will go Retina in its second iteration with a 2048×1536 pixel display covering its 7.9 inches and get upgraded to the same A7 chip as the iPhone 5s. We've heard recently that the retina update will make it slightly heavier and thicker than its current form.
Kuo says the Gold option will NOT be on the table for iPads but fingerprint readers may not because of the inability to make enough for iPhone 5s production alone. We've seen a ton of space gray and other shells for the iPad Mini so that option would seem increasingly likely…
Finally, the analyst expects the MacBook Pro line to get updated with Haswell processors and an updated HD camera. We'd also expect the PCIe SSDs and 802.11ac networking that MacBook Airs and iMacs received over the past few months. The biggest change will be the battery savings which should push life to over 10 hours from the current amounts which start at about 3-4 hours in real world testing.
There was no word yet on Mac Minis, the expected Mac Pro or a 4K Thunderbolt 2.0 Display which all have been rumored for quite some time now.
We'll of course be covering the event closely so make sure to head over on Tuesday morning.
(Updated: Kuo clarified that he doesn't believe Gold will be an option)

No Touch ID, Apple's MO. Touch ID next year. That will give some a reason to replace this years model.
Could the low supply of Touch ID sensors for iPhone 5s also be partially due to the fact that Apple has to (at least right about now) lay some aside for the new iPads?
Low supply lies nonsense spread by Tim Cook to justify his own mess forcing massive production of crap plastic iPhone 5C he desperately wanted to sell and no one is buying.
Tim Cook lowered production of iPhone 5S on purpose because he wanted to push his own 5C crap nonsense plastic fraud.
Touch ID would have been really nice!
Until they nuke this shitty iOS 7, my current iPhone 4 and iPad 2 (with iOS 6) will be the last iOS devices I will own.
Do you think that Apple might ditch the 16GB storage option in favor of 128GB ?
Apple currently sells an 128gb iPad model – there are four storage options in there line up. 16, 32, 64 & 128 – which retails for $799 for WiFi & $929 for 4G.
I will never understand the lack of Flash to go along with the camera. I am not using the iPad outdoors only inside the house where it would most likely to be needed. If I am taking a pic with it, it is because it is what is handy and will most likely require the flash
Cell phone flashes are almost never worth it.. Either the light doesn't reach the target or it gets overexposed due to the low quality of led lighting…
If you just touch the object you want to focus on, on the screen, the device will adjust it's light sensitivity and most times leave you with a better result..
I never use a flash on a cell phone anymore, though I am very curious about that new iPhone 5s flash…
Okay, so the general difference between an A7 and an A7X processor is supposed to be the GPU, wich is faster, to handle a retina display. And somehow, someone still manages to predict an iPad mini with an A7 processor and a retina display…. Sigh……
It will have an A6 or A6x processor, depending on wether or not it has a retina display….
Glad I wasn't the only one to notice this. If the iPad mini goes Retina, it will be pushing the same number of pixels as the 9.7″ iPad — smaller screen, but same number of pixels. Therefore, the mini will need every bit as much of horsepower as the full size iPad.
This is why I have constantly been so skeptical of a iPad mini with Retina Display coming this year. AllThingsD says its coming, and their word is pretty much gospel when it comes to Apple, So, I guess its coming, but they'll need a AX series caliber chip to drive those pixels. Whether or not A7X is small enough to go into the mini is anyone's guess, but a die-shrunk A6X would be a strong possibility.
The A7 beats the A6X on the 3D marks benchmark by about 30%. It would be a great tablet CPU/GPU. They could also used the A6X on the new mini
No TouchID on iPad 5 ?
No $ dear Tim…
No display Thunderbolt 4K ?
No $$ dear Phil…
No Mac Pro ?
No $$$ dear Apple !!!
Bye Bye to the end of 2014…
Wrong prediction.
Touch ID on iPad 5 surely must be there… they might not include it on the iPad Mini 2 but if iPad 5 gets released without Touch ID then it would be another mess by Tim Cook.
"another" mess????
I have an iPad 4, iPad mini, and literally a dozen other apple gadgets between my wife and I. I also have a 2013 nexus 7 1920×1200 tablet. In every case EXCEPT for the iPad mini, I feel the Apple gadgets are best. From a hardware perspective I strongly prefer the 2013 nexus 7 to the iPad mini. Nexus is MUCH nicer to hold, as it is narrower, has comfortable rounded edges, and an easily gripped rubberized back. The display has not just vastly higher resolution than the iPad mini, but also much greater maximum brightness, making it the nicest tablet screen for reading. The contrast/color is slightly better on the iPad 4, but this is only a slight benefit for photo viewing. For text viewing, the max brightness of the nexus display is much nicer to use than even the retina iPad 4. I definitely prefer iOS to android, especially the integrated ecosystem and vastly superior app selection, but as a general use web/email device, the nexus is my favorite. I am hoping for a no compromise iPad mini with exactly the same specs as the iPad 5 just smaller display. Great for gaming. News the mini 2 may have a lesser GPU than the iPad 5 is disappointing. I still use my iPad 4 for high power games and Apple ecosystem integration. I want a no compromise mini to replace both my Nexus 7 FHD and my iPad 4.
I'm sure this prediction is wrong. Apple said the iPhone 5S is "futureproof" with it's 64bits processor and TouchID. These are the new toys for Apple to bring easier payment and easier authentification. If they want the devs to use TouchID, it has to be on the highest numbrer of devices, and the iPad is a really heavy market.
I agree. The fact that iPad is a HUGE monetizer (not just for Apple, but advertisers, retailers and vendors), it makes sense to streamline the purchase process even further. My question is, when are they going to broker the necessary deals and then announce this functionality?
the new "iPad 5″ will be called iPad AIR. Remember men
It wouldn't make any sense to put an A7, instead of an A7x in the retina mini. The mii retina has 4x as many pixels to render an as iPhone 5S. It needs more GPU power, or it would struggle badly when rendering anything with much overdraw (such as games). In other words, it would be as sluggish as an iPad 3.
Really looking forward to an A7 mini with Touch ID. If I have to wait a bit longer until the supplies catch up with demand, that's okay. I'll take longer battery life over retina if there's a 1:1 choice with no other tradeoffs.

On this page you can see photos taken by me from photo shoots at conventions, Expos or on-location shoots. This where I have spent way more than 5-10 minutes on the models I normally do at a photo shoot studio setups I do and I will do much more creative photos etc.
After the photo shoot I will do basic editing like adjusting the exposure, some colour corrections, cropping etc. On requests, I can do more advance editing like: eye colour changing, minor blemishes removal etc. I will add a 'before & after' examples soon.
If you wish to have me do a personal photo shoot for you or a group like this, be it cosplay or casual shoot. Please feel free to contact me for more enquiries via e-mail, text or phone.

Cooking in a tandoor oven
Im looking for advise and recipes for cooking in a tandoor oven. Yes I do have one and have been mildly successful making recipes in it. My tandoor chicken will come out tasty but it will burn if I leave it in there long enough to cook all the way through so I finish it in the oven. My nann never sticks to the side the way its supposed too. It just falls into an inferno and puffs immediately to smoke and char. Im not looking for recipes prepare in a reg oven, grill or stove top. Only Tandoor. Thanks.

Andy Lees has been moved away from leading the charge with Windows Phone 7 instead being put to work on a 'time critical' job for Ballmer
Andy Lees, the current head of Windows Phone is being moved to work on what could be a crossover project that will see Windows Phone and Windows 8 brought together.
In an internal memo discovered by AllThingsD the correspondence was from Ballmer stating that Andy Lees would be moving from his current role into one where he would be reporting to the CEO directly.
"I have asked Andy Lees to move to a new role working for me on a time-critical opportunity focused on driving maximum impact in 2012 with Windows Phone and Windows 8,"
While it's not known what this project could be it seems logical to assume that it would involve joining the two operating systems closer together, especially after rumours have pointed towards the Nokia Lumia 900 coming with a new version of Windows Phone.
What do you think this new opportunity will be, could it be a new version of Windows Phone or something that see's the two operating systems sync better? Let us know what you think via the comments box below...

It is important to remember that commas make a writer's meaning clear. When you speak, your tone of voice and pauses punctuate what you're saying, but when you write, your readers have only the printed page to use to understand your meaning. Punctuation marks, like commas, help the reader get the meaning from your writing. This is especially true in the case of compound sentences.
A compound sentence is two or more complete, simple sentences that are joined together by a conjunction. Conjunctions are words like and, but, or, nor, so, for, yet. For a compound sentence to be punctuated correctly, there must be a comma before the conjunction.
Look at these two simple sentences below. Since they are so closely related they can be joined together with a comma and the conjunction so to form a correct compound sentence.
The reason for this is that a comma is not a strong enough mark of punctuation to separate complete sentences. Commas can only be used to separate words, ideas, and phrases.
Two simple sentences joined by a conjunction become a compound sentence. Remember, the comma always comes before the conjunction.
There are two simple
sentences here joined by the conjunction but.
Here you have two simple sentences joined by the conjunction and. These require commas before the and to prevent a run-on sentence.
Be careful not to get confused by a sentence that has a compound verb. This type of sentence has only one subject but two verbs. Since it is just one simple sentence it does not require a comma before the conjunction.
For example:
This sentence has one subject (Jim) and two verbs (entered and won), so it does not need a comma before the and because it is not a compound sentence.
This sentence also has one subject (mother) and two verbs (cooked and baked), so it does not need a comma before the and because it is not a compound sentence.
Read, think carefully, and remember:
A compound sentence is two
or more complete, simple sentences that are joined together by a

Mark Thomas joins Colombia's human rights activists

In Colombia, right-wing paras once played a football match against the military using the severed he
by Mark Thomas Published
Greetings from Colombia, dear reader. You find me on an international solidarity delegation (called "The Caravan") to this fine and bloody country, blissfully unaware of any news from home. David Blunkett could have been caught cottaging but I neither know nor care at this moment in time.
The only television I have seen is the England results. Consequently, the only Spanish phrases I have learned are "David Beckham es un tronco pirobo" ("David Beckham is a fucking donkey") and "Celebremos que al menos Francia perdio" ("Cheer up, at least the French have lost").
In truth, I did take the precaution of learning one other phrase before I left for Colombia. Because I am travelling with a very large friend, I memorised "Dispara al gordo primero" ("Shoot the fat one first").
My friend Carlos told me a very famous Colombian football story. In Cacarica, near the border with Panama, there was a football match between the Colombian army, under the command of General Rito Alejo del Rio, and the right-wing paramilitaries.
That the paras and the army can play a friendly game of football shows the level of collaboration between the two forces.
All the local inhabitants were forced to watch this sporting fixture, where the head of the community leader, Marino Lopez, was used as the ball, having been removed from his torso by means of a chainsaw.
As if that were not enough, Lopez's family had to join the game and kick their dead father's head around the pitch. The entire community was then displaced and, staying with the sporting theme, forced to live in a basketball stadium for three years, from 1996-99.
According to the US administration of George W Bush, Colombia's human rights record is improving thanks to the country's president, Alvaro Uribe Velez. Surprisingly, many people here do not share that view.
Halfway through this trip, in a telephone interview with RTE in Ireland, a journalist asked me if I had "uncovered any human rights abuse". The question is absurd. It's like asking: "On your trip to Berlin in 1939, did you uncover any Nazis?"
In hot, fan-less trade union halls up and down the country, hundreds of people have queued up to give their testimony to The Caravan, which waits patiently to hear their stories of horror.
Some read dispassionately from prepared texts talking of disappearances and murder. Some hold back tears. Some don't. Some read with a calm fury. The atmosphere is a mixture of desperation and defiance.
Roughly 4,000 trade unionists have been assassinated by Colombia's right-wing paramilitaries since 1987. Now President Uribe points out that the murder rate for this year so far is down on the previous one. As if he has somehow moved the paras from piece rates to a fixed quota system.
In Bucaramanga, north of Bogota, EfraIn Guerrero, a prominent member of the food and drinks workers' union Sinaltrainal and an employee of Coca-Cola (Femsa), has witnessed this "improvement" in human rights at first hand. On 20 April, his sister-in-law and her entire family were shot by the paras as they slept. Their ten-year-old daughter survived by hiding under her bed. Just days before we arrived in Cali, on 22 June, a bodyguard for the metalworkers' union Sintrametal, Hugo Fernando Castillo Sanchez, and his wife, Diana Ximena Zuniga, were murdered in front of their four-year-old son at a fast-food drive-through - again, by paras.
None of these killings of family members, bodyguards and friends appears in the statistics. Neither do the mass arrests of trade unionists, nor the brutal attacks carried out by the police during the current oil workers' strike.
The human rights abuse seems about to increase as Uribe's neoliberal reforms privatise the entire country: neither he nor his forces will brook any dissent to this process.
Civil movements are as much a target as the unions. Student organisers are assassinated. Campaigners for the disappeared are disappeared. Even rappers singing songs of peace get death threats. And the anti-terror law has given the army more official powers than the US marines in Iraq.
The Colombian president's intentions are clearly seen in the amnesty he is offering the paras. On 1 July, he began a dialogue with them, commonly referred to as the "monologue". There are to be no trials for the beheaders, rapists, torturers and murderers. Instead, Uribe will officially forgive and forget. Yet there is no dialogue or forgiveness for the guerrillas (the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and the National Liberation Army).
Heads might not be kicked around in public any more, but Colombia's violence against the poor is at crisis point.

Don't know what GB is, and there are a lot of chameleons. But as I pointed out in the post above, my gig is much more than just playing drums. There are tons of players who can drum circles around me, but who could still not do my gig.

Geting the gig was easy and a chance meeting. (see

As for how I've
the gig, it's by always rising to the occasion. Al throws all of us some new curves on each album and tour, and the only way to keep the gig is to learn and grow into the parts/techniques. So, when we did our first all-sequenced song in 1985, I bought a drum machine. When I got tired of keyboard players handling drum sounds on some of the sequenced songs, I bought a sampler. When we did a Zappa homage on 2003's "Poodle Hat", I studied every lick that Ralph Humphrey, Chester Thompson, Chad Wackerman and Terry Bozzio played, and woodshedded until they felt natural. And album after album, I've proven that I can acheive the parts -
and sounds
- required of me. Even when a track was originally sequenced and there was no drummer per se, I still have to take on the task.
So, basically, never saying 'no' (that is, never being afraid to say 'yes') has ensured my career with him. As I say in my bio: "Al's made me play parts I didn't know how to play."

Blown away by sales
Thanks to the prolonged periods of summer sun that we have been experiencing in the UK, the gadget of the summer seems to be emerging already as the latest invention from the mind of Sir James Dyson, the air multiplying bladeless fan.
Despite the somewhat lofty £200 price tag, supplies of the impeccably designed and highly efficient fans are reported to have run out at the Dyson warehouse whilst it is understood the company has had to double production in its Malaysian factory.

The revolutionary air multiplying fans work by sucking in one unit of air at the base and pushing it out at speed through a thin gap in the fan's ring. Forced out over an airfoil-shaped ramp, similar to that of an areoplane wing, the high-speed airflow draws in surrounding air, transforming that initial single unit of air into 15 propelled units.
Although costing ten-times more than a bog standard desk fan, Sir James Dyson was insistent that his company's fans would capture shoppers' imaginations. Based on recent sales, he looks to have been correct.
Speaking exclusively to T3 last week at the launch of the latest range of Dyson air multiplying fans, the British inventor admitted that the initial idea for the Dyson fans was the accidental result of a previous product.
He said: "When we were developing the handdryers, we noticed that the sheet [of air] that comes out pulled in a huge amount of air next to it, I mean vast amounts and we were astonished. We got on with the business of developing the handdryer but we thought that's very interesting, could you make an air mover on that principle?"

Biv- Three paragraphs of writing and I still don't know if you agree or disagree with me. So... why do all those rappers get awards for recording songs filled with gun violence and hate while the Heavy Metal ones are singled out as 'extremist'?
The music execs you mentioned aren't the artists creating it and also not the ones buying it. You didn't answer my question if you were trying to.
Relax there VoteG.... Take your medicine. Thats it, Yes, yes... Feel it take effect. That's right... Now you can attempt to stay on topic. Atta boy... In with the good air and out with the bad. Good boy.
Since he didn't take a life as far as we know, we shouldn't hang him. Let's just chain him to a cot, use intravenous tubes for feeding, and a firehouse for bathing. When court time comes, they can use a camera system to allow him his right to trial. Wanna be an animal, get treated like an animal.
Here we go again putting a single psychotic event into a tirade of political rants as if the two have anything to do with each other. This guy was sick and a homicidal worm. I'm glad he's dead and taken out by a veteran Police Officer.
But since everyone here on these forums like to turn these things into a political stand, let me give it a try too....
Why isn't the same said about rap music and virtually every single hip hop song I've ever heard while our inner cities are destroyed by gun violence? Why the double standard? Rap guys talk the same violence and hate but they get music awards for it. I'd like to ask the reporter but as usual these things are written by a guy named 'The Associated Press'. If you see Mr. Press let me know. I have a question for him.
Voyager- When you say 'nothing can happen to you' I assume you are refering to being arrested. Maybe so, but its not gonna stop you getting your butt kicked by a veteran who takes offence to someone playing games with what they hold as sacred. Good luck with that!
You might be a wizard... but you're not a very smart one. Research the definition for 'terrorism' and educate yourself. Shooting members of the public is murder unless specific political objectives are met which makes it a terrorist act. Please read a book.
Voyager- When you say 'nothing can happen to you' I assume you are refering to being arrested. Maybe so, but its not gonna stop you getting your a$$ kicked by a veteran who takes offence to someone playing games with what they hold as sacred. Good luck with that!
People make me laugh. When it fits their own agenda its free speech and when it doesn't its racist, profane, inaccurate, and Un-American, etc. Politicians ON BOTH SIDES are taking us to the cleaners and destroying this country with inaction while we squabble over these silly political allegiances.
NJ- I agree with your post but understand that there are many qualified Black and Hispanic candidates from a good background and even military service. But how many of these want to apply? The selection process for any police agency is difficult and not everyone is cut out for a career in law enforcement. After reading many of these posts... Would you want to rush into an active shooter situation to save the butts of some of these jealous and bitter haters? Or deal with their destructive family habits repeatedly? Cops don't have the choice and you only have to read posts here to see that people want cops but only when they need them. Then they become the fascist army or ticket writing nazis again in their minds. Real shame. Not an easy way to make a living and the good pay and benefits are reflective of that.
When you commit a violent crime and are convicted by a jury of your peers, you have proven yourself a threat to society. A leopard cannot change its spots. All violent crime offenders should be known to the public even after their sentence is completed since its the public that was victimized and yet paid for the inmate's incarceration, cable tv, medical attention, clothing, meals, educational opportunities....etc etc etc
This is what happens when a liberal sense of entitlement and the individual's failure to become a part of something larger than themselves comes to a point. Although I have respect for the SP, with a newer generation of using any excuse available for self benefit and promotion, this unfortunately soon will become the norm as it has in the private sector.
If Obama had a son, he would look like Alfred Patterson and the councilman acted "stupidly" by trying to enforce township code violations.
Jersey- Consolidation of jobs isn't always the best way to go. Would you want the school custodian working the second half of his day preparing your kids lunch after the morning bathroom scrub detail? There's some savings to be had right there!
@Bob- Of course I don't want anything to happen to these folks or any other folks for that matter. My point is simply that I want to know why my tax dollars are not spent equally. I doubt that the cost was picked up by the organization and I'll explain why.
If I do have any type of wariness against this specific group, its from fact and an article on NJ.com from last year about using PUBLICALLY funded bussing to transport Hassidim students to a religious PRIVATE school in Lakewood... on Thanksgiving... and where the 'gentile' bus drivers were forced to come into work or be fired. Now count the things that are wrong, biased, and Un-American in that sentence alone. I have a very good and long memory.
Ah yes Bob- The 'ol "ask any reasonable and intelligent question against a protected class and you're a hater" response. The article says the stadium was locked down for at least two days prior. Have you any idea how much those resources cost and for the duration that it was used?
I've heard people complain about using publically funded police services for a July 4th city parade that lasts only a few hours so where exactly does this private religious gathering fall in that discussion then hmmm?
I haven't looked it up but just for argument's sake, how many police agencies are used during services at one of those Mega-churches that fill auditoriums? Nice post and well thought out Bob.
Jax- I hope you're done making your husband breakfast before taking time out to post. And just saying, that carpet isn't going to just vacuum itself ya know.
I don't understand why anyone would pay $10 for access to the beach to swim in brown water, the same water that medical waste washes ashore every year, and be surrounded by a bunch of guido Italian flag sportin' morons only to finally come to your senses and return to your car to leave and find a $48 parking ticket on your windshield.
Well, at least the fine can be paid online. Now thats what I call a convenience.
Lots of comments here and not one of them hitting on the obvious.
Who paid for the 600 State Police Troopers, FBI investigators, Port Authority Police Officers, and the multiple k-9 units that were pulled from normal assignments for this gathering?
Funny... I thought the State was going broke and all those rascal teachers, firemen and cops were to blame according to the Governor. Where did all this money suddenly come from to hire not only one...but two... politically connected appointment failures with both making over $150,000 and publically funded pensions to boot? Weird.....
Its 1930's lingo but you have to use a prohibition era Brooklyn mobster's accent in order to pull it off... Lets give it a shot. Read and repeat:
1) "Meah coppers. Ya won't get me see?"
2) "its coitins (curtains) Muggsy, coitins"
3) "All of yous g-men won't take me alive see? Meah... I'll be on the lam."
4) "anoder mixup like that and I'll be in da slammer fo sure."
5) "mess wit me and get a belly full o' lead see?"
With proper study and repetition one can transport themselves through time to a bye gone era and then write a current news article about crime. Next weeks lesson is 70's lingo while roller skating.

Nothing compares to a hot afternoon of being drenched in colours and water, dancing to filmy songs. Here's a list of our favourites.
Holi ke din from Sholay
Who doesn't love the Dharmendra-Hema jodi? Even Garam Dharam's dancing skills (or lack thereof) can't beat the fun factor of this song. And what makes the song even more special is that the couple was not yet romantically involved but Dharmendra had already started hitting on Hema Malini – coincidentally reflected in the lyrics 'jare ja deewane tu, holi ke bahane tu chhed na mujhe besaram'.
It is said that he even bribed the spot boys to ruin the shot so that they could get more retakes together. We love this song for the lovelorn Amitabh Bachchan too but it is Dharam and Hema who steal the show whose bubbly personalities perfectly match with the peppy music and beats.
Tan rang l0 from Kohinoor
We love the Meena Kumari who isn't grief stricken but a chirpy young princess playing holi with her friends. And who better to give her company than a swashbuckling prince, Dilip Kumar? The beauty of the song lies in its simplicity – the lyrics are humble and the music characteristically folk but the underlying message is beautiful – let in hope and let go of differences. And despite being a black and white song, you can still see the colour and the joy. One of our favourites for sure.
Hori khele Raghubira from Baghban
One of the more recent Holi songs in Bollywood, Hori khele is a song we love for the swanky Big B and the ever graceful Hema Malini. Despite the lyrics, 'Tanik sharam nahin aaye dekhe naahin apni umariyaa, Ho saath baras mein ishq ladaaye,' the sprightly duo showed everyone that you don't have to be young to rock a Holi song, just youthful.
The song has been sung in Awadhi, a dialect from Uttar Pradesh lends it a playful folksy character. And Mr. Bachchan's inimitable dance style and impish expressions not to mention his distinctive singing voice make for a fun filled song to dance on.
Rang barse from Silsila
You couldn't possibly think we'd miss this! This is the Holi song without which a holi party would be colourless. This one's quite a departure from the naughty mood in Hori khele to the flirty, almost lewd tones of Rang barse. The lyrics are rife with innuendos but that and the music is what makes this one a class apart and our absolute favourite.
'Bela chameli ka sej bhichhaya, soye gauri ka yaar, balam tarse, rang barse!' is just one such line from the song and would you believe who wrote it – Big B's father and the revered poet, Harivansh Rai Bachchan. And to top it all off, there's the crack-a-tastic chemistry between Big B and Rekha, what's not to love? Rang barse is pure desi fun at its best and will forever remain a favourite.
Let's play holi from Waqt
No, don't cringe! Loving this song comes with terms and conditions. You must be down at least six or seven (read ten) glasses of bhang and willing to look silly. Granted, Anu Malik should be banned from flitting anywhere close to a recording studio but you'll learn to forgive him and maybe even love him a little bit once you're adequately high. Remember 'unchi hai building, lift teri band hai'?
This one's so bad it's good, you know?
While all these Holi songs are good, make sure your list includes all the latest hits, item numbers and Bollywood mixes. As the bhang works its magic you are going to need more than just lyrics about rang and pyaar. If you are looking for some fun ideas for your Holi party, we've got some suggestions… as always!
Happy Holi!!!

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said school vouchers are needed to repair a public-education system that has left students unprepared for college and work.
The first-term Republican said he will push the Democratic- controlled Legislature to pass a test program by July 1 that would offer private funding to help parents send students in failing districts to other schools.
The governor has been urging lawmakers for more than a year to approve his proposed education overhaul, which also would institute merit pay for teachers and make it easier for administrators to fire educators deemed inadequate. The voucher program is "the tool that has the chance to get the most change, the most quickly," Christie said during a speech in Jersey City to advocates of so-called school-choice programs.
"Parents cannot wait for us to get it together anymore," Christie said. "In New Jersey, we've been trying to figure this out for 30 years. We've spent hundreds of billions of dollars and we still haven't got it."
Christie, who took office in January 2010, has feuded with leaders of the state teachers union over his proposals and has accused Democrats of being recalcitrant on efforts to fix the state's schools.

Wired to Win: Surviving the Tour de France
Alternate Title(s): Formerly Brainpower: Surviving the Tour de France
The subject of the film is the amazing ability of the human brain to overcome adversity, accomplish the near-impossible, and power each of us to victory and success in life.
We will illustrate these various abilities by following cyclists racing in the Tour De France. Over the course of the event, theyll be caught up in hair raising crashes, dramatic battles over the Alps and Pyrenees and action-packed descents down steep mountain roads. Their ultimate goal? The finish line on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.
The film will raise the questions "how do they do this?" and "why do they do this?" Audiences will learn that the answers to these questions lie within the mind and the human brain itself.
Through a combination of cutting edge computer graphic digital animation, strong and inspiring personal stories and unprecedented IMAX giant screen footage, this film will entertain and, hopefully, inspire audiences of all ages.
This film will study of the various aspects of the human brain and its ability to help us achieve success in the face of what seem to be insurmountable obstacles.

SOCMA Urges Congress to Approve Long-Term Extension of CFATS
March 31, 2011
Media Contact:
Christine Sanchez
Manager, Public Relations & Media
(202) 721-4182
Washington, DC – With the current authority for the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) set to expire in days, the Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (SOCMA) today urged Congress to act now to ensure the program's continued success by approving a multi-year extension.
In testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Environment and the Economy, SOCMA's Vice President of Government Relations, Bill Allmond, said Congress can assure the program's forward momentum by passing H.R. 908, recently introduced by Subcommittee Vice Chair Tim Murphy (R-PA) and Ranking Member Gene Green (D-TX). In doing so, Congress would reauthorize CFATS through 2017, allowing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to implement the program through completion.
Allmond reiterated a point made by SOCMA in written testimony submitted to the House Homeland Security Committee earlier this year: "The need for annual reauthorization of the program has created uncertainty for facilities regulated by CFATS. Without the assurance of a long-term authorization of these regulations, companies run a risk of investing in costly activities today that might not satisfy regulatory standards tomorrow."
Any programmatic changes would also leave government and industry with an incomplete picture of the current security standards. "Completing the program's implementation from start to finish would provide DHS and chemical companies the ability to assess the overall efficacy of CFATS, identifying its strengths and weakness," he said.
Allmond urged policymakers not to devote any further time to discussing the discredited concept of mandatory inherently safer technology (IST), noting that IST would create "substantial unintended consequences" for the chemical industry, such as in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used in life-saving drugs.
SOCMA will continue to work with the House and Senate towards the passage of a long-term authorization of CFATS. On April 13, SOCMA members will directly take their message to Congress and discuss their position with lawmakers and their staff during SOCMA Connect's 4th Annual Washington Fly-in.
For more information about SOCMA's position on IST, please visit www.socma.com/ist.

Quote of the Day
In case you haven't heard, the USGA has lengthened Bethpage Black to nearly 43 miles*.
The course that Tiger Woods won on in 2002 was 7,214 yards, but will play over 200 yards longer this year at the U.S. Open. So, at 7,426 yards, what do you think senior director of rules and competitions have to say about Bethpage?
"This course is going to be long," Mike Davis said.
Yeah, I'd say. There are three par-4s that will play 500 yards or longer, and to make it even tougher, they've hired sharpshooters to try and take out anyone that misses a single fairway.
Tiger shot 277 (3-under) at the Open when it was at Bethpage last time to win, so what wins it now? Even? 3-over? Just finishing?
Hey, at least the bunkers are said to be playing simple.
"I think these are the most challenging sets of bunkers we have," Davis noted.
Ummmm, well, surely the course is set up to where even a poorly hit shot will be playable, right?!?
"We want this to be the toughest test of golf the players face all year," he said to the assembled members of the media. "If you execute the proper shot, you should get the proper result. If you execute a mediocre shot, you should get a mediocre result. And if you execute a poor shot, well ... "
Asked by a media member, how Davis would finish that sentence, the senator of pain said, "Well, you'll be disqualified on the spot and have your tour card revoked. Got it? Got it?!?! Nobody will finish this tournament!!! Nobody!!!!!"*
* = two parts not entirely true
2 comments:
- John said...
Hells bells, who cares about an extra 200 yards on the ground? It's Bethpage. I'm worried about how much distance they added vertically. When I was there for the 2002 Open, sweet zombie Jesus, it's like walking a mountain range.
If my back holds up between now and then I'll be going for Saturday this year. You want a roving reporter?

DeLAND, Fla. — East Tennessee State center Tiana Burley produced one of her best games of the season Saturday at Stetson. Her team couldn't follow her lead.
Burley collected 20 points and 12 rebounds, but the Lady Bucs fell to the second-place team in the Atlantic Sun Conference 74-65 in the Edmunds Center.
It was a 44-24 game at half, and ETSU never got closer than 10 the rest of the way.
"Every time teams go on runs against us, we drop our heads and basically quit," said Burley. "We have to find a way to fight back."
The Lady Bucs (6-13, 4-8) actually made a short-lived rally in the second half, pulling within 10 at 59-49 after a layup by Burley with 7:20 to play.
The Lady Hatters (17-6, 10-2) collected themselves and raced away again to get the season sweep.They won the earlier game in Johnson City 71-55.
"We started this game OK, but they were on fire," said ETSU coach Karen Kemp. "And I felt like we stopped playing defense and communicating late in the first half."
The Lady Bucs now face an even tougher challenge Monday night when they play at Florida Gulf Coast. The Lady Eagles are working on back-to-back unbeaten seasons in the league. They demolished ETSU 97-60 on its home court a month ago.
"The women down there pack that place out. It's a really tough place to play," said Kemp. "You have to play 40 minutes of tough basketball. We need to have the intensity we showed late in this game from the start."
Whether the Lady Bucs will have Destiny Mitchell remains to be seen.
The all-conference forward has been hobbled by a knee injury she suffered three games ago. She sat out the last game but was in the starting lineup Saturday.
Mitchell wasn't much of a factor, with eight points and six rebounds in 26 minutes. She wasn't even on the floor as the Lady Bucs tried to rally down the stretch.
"She took herself out," said Kemp. "She's hurting. You know that because she's a tough kid. I could tell she was dragging at the beginning of the game."
Burley, a 6-3 sophomore from Camilla, Ga., tried to fill the void. She was dominant inside inside, making 8 of 15 shots, many on stickbacks. She had seven offensive rebounds.
"She was playing strong like we need her to every game," said Kemp. "I hope it was just not because her family was here."
The Clemson transfer had been averaging 8.1 points and 5.0 rebounds in just 15.4 minutes of action. She admits she has plenty of room to improve, particularly in the fitness area.
"I can do much better," said Burley. "I gotta get in the weight room and get stronger. I gotta be in better shape."
Cara Bowling, with 10 points, was the only other ETSU player in double figures.
Stetson was led by Sasha Sims with 20 points, and she had plenty of help. Shanasa Sanders scored 17 points, Cherisse Burris 15 and Victoria McGowan 14.
The Lady Hatters flourished at the foul line, hitting 21 of 26 while the Lady Bucs were 8 of 11. They also committed 10 turnovers — seven fewer than ETSU.

Sling Media, the company behind the Slingbox set-top box, which allows you to view content from your own TV package on connected devices has launched an app for tablets boasting the Android Honeycomb operating system.
The SlingPlayer app has spread its wings beyond Android phones to offer its service to any tablet boasting Android 3.0, opening the door for users of the Motorola Xoom, Sony Tablet S and P and of course the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
The app, which will cost users in the UK a one-off fee of £20.99, will give you full access to your home Sky+, Virgin Media, BT Vision, Freeview and Apple TV content if your set-top box connected to a Slingbox SOLO or Slingbox PRO HD
You'll even be able to change channels and control content you've recorded on your DVR's hard-drive and sling media says that this iteration of the app arrives with a new remote control feature that pulls up an exact replica of the remote you have at home.
So, effectively, you can switch channels, record shows and browse the TV guide in the same way you would if you were sitting in your favourite easy chair.
If you've already downloaded the Slingbox app for Android phones, it will continue to work in compatibility mode on your tablet device. The SlingPlayer for Honeycomb tablets app joins the iPad version released in late 2010.
