In an opinion with potentially significant consequences for the preparation of EIRs and other environmental review documents under CEQA, the Fifth District Court of Appeal (Fresno) has ruled in Citizens for Ceres v. City of Ceres that any attorney-client privilege or work product protection which initially attaches to a document is waived if that document is shared, prior to project approval, between a project applicant and the agency conducting CEQA review. This would mean that otherwise privileged documents that concern the project at issue or compliance with CEQA generally, if shared among applicant and agency prior to project approval, are subject to disclosure and must be included in the administrative record which the court reviews in CEQA litigation.
CEQA generally requires that any document in the lead agency's files that is relevant to the proposed project or compliance with CEQA must be included in the administrative record. In the past, however, some agencies had relied on the so-called "common interest" doctrine of non-waiver of privilege to exclude from the record otherwise relevant documents prepared by or for attorneys for either the applicant or the agency, even if those documents had been communicated between the applicant and the agency considering the project.
On June 3, 2013, in the case of Brisbane Lodging, L.P. v. Webcor Builders, Inc., et al. (No. A132555), the California Court of Appeals set new precedent by affirming a lower court ruling upholding the enforcement of a contract provision which abrogated the "delayed discovery rule" by providing that all causes of action relating to work on the contract would accrue from the date of substantial completion. This is the first time in the history of the State that a California Court has done so.
In Sierra Club v. The Superior Court of Orange County, the California Supreme Court ruled last week that data in a geographic information system ("GIS") file format is a public record subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act ("CPRA", Government Code section 6250 et seq.). The Supreme Court explained that, although GIS mapping software falls within the CPRA statutory exclusion of "computer software" generally, the ordinary meaning of "computer software," does not include data that is stored in computers and formatted in such a way to be used with particular software. If data in a GIS file format is statutorily exempt from CPRA disclosure, then any information stored on a computer in a specific format to be manipulated by software would arguably be exempt as well, and that is not what the Legislature intended.
On Friday, July 19, the State Water Resources Control Board ("State Water Board") issued the latest draft of the Statewide General National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") Permit for the Discharge of Storm Water Associated With Industrial Activities (the "IGP"). The IGP is issued under the federal Clean Water Act and state law to regulate operators of industrial facilities that discharge storm water into "waters of the United States." The IGP contains many significant changes from the previous general industrial storm water NPDES permit issued in 1997, which remains in effect until the new IGP is adopted (the State Water Board anticipates adoption in January 2014). A number of the IGP's changes are summarized below.
The State Water Board is accepting public comments on the IGP through noon on August 29, 2013, and will also hold a public hearing to accept verbal comments at 9:00 am on August 21, 2013. The notice of opportunity to comment and all relevant permit documents related to the fourth draft IGP are available here.
This fourth draft of the IGP is the State Water Board's latest attempt to update the 1997 general industrial storm water NPDES permit, which demonstrates the long history and contentious issues that have prolonged the reissuance process.

July 4, 2010, was a bad day for Tyler Southern. He dreamed he was with his older brothers, playing sandlot football, running and laughing, horsing around just like they used to when they were together as kids in Jacksonville, Fla.
In his dream, he was whole again.
Then he awoke in his hospital bed at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., and reality came flooding back. Both of his legs and his right arm were gone, blown off in Afghanistan two months earlier by an improvised explosive device so powerful that only bits of his legs and boots were ever found. The explosion left one remaining limb, his left arm, broken and mangled.

Arbeloa established himself as the team's first-choice right-back in the 2008/09 season when Liverpool should have won the League title. The signing of Glen Johnson in the close season of 2009 led to much speculation that Arbeloa would move on which was confirmed when he signed a five-year contract with his former club, Real Madrid. Arbeloa has played in roughly 70% of Real Madrid's Primera matches in his four seasons there and in 2011/12 he added a Spanish championship winners' medal to the Copa del Rey winners' medal won a year earlier as Real reclaimed the title after it had been in Barcelona's possession for the previous three campaigns. Arbeloa was in Spain's successful squad that won the European Championship in 2008 but only appeared in one match, against Greece, during the finals. He can also call himself a world champion even though he only featured for 13 minutes in 2010. Arbeloa was finally a regular in the team when Spain repeated their Euro success in 2012, appearing in six games. Arbeloa made forty first-team appearances for Real Madrid in the 2012-13 season to take his grand total for the club past the one hundred and fifty mark.
Arbeloa appeared in just less than half (18/38) of Real Madrid's La Liga matches in the 2013/14 season. Real finished in 3rd place behind Atlético Madrid and Barcelona. The defender also played in 8 Copa del Rey matches but a knee-injury meant that he was unavailable for the final against Barcelona in Valencia, which Real won 2-1. In the Champions League Alvaro played the full 90 minutes in four of Real's six group matches but the same knee-injury ruled him out of the knock-out stages as Real joined their city rivals Atlético
in the Champions League final in Lisbon. At the end of 2014-15 there was some speculation linking Arbeloa with a return to Anfield but instead Liverpool signed Nathaniel Clyne and Joe Gomez. His Real Madrid contract was extended for another year but he was a bit part player as the club won an 11th Champions League title, appearing in just two group games.

According to Alvaro Arbeloa his first two weeks at Liverpool were no picnic
The sale of Arbeloa, Hyypia and Alonso was an important loss. Alvaro was a player who did a vital job for us, always played to a high level and his flexibility was a huge bonus. Sami may not have played every week but he was a 10 out of 10 on and off the pitch, bringing calm to the ground and having everyone's admiration. And Xabi … players like Xabi are very rare. He was the team's engine and you know that when you change an engine, it takes time to work again.

Forcing a Firmware Downgrade for Buffalo NAS DevicesPosted on February 7th, 2013 No comments
I recently needed to return a Linkstation NAS back to a previous firmware version.
When you download the update utility in the folder there is a file called LSUpdated.ini. In there I changed the "VersionCheck" flag from 1 to 0
After that running the update utility worked exactly the same as usual and it happily replaced the current firmware with an older version.
This should also work with Terastation devices too.
As always "use at your own risk, I'm not responsible for breaking your stuff, yada yada"
Buffalo also have a very helpful article on their knowledge base which points out that you can change the "debug" flag which then allows you force the downgrade from within the utility itself.
The main problem I had was actually getting hold of the older firmware.
The download page on the Buffalo website on provided the latest version.
The trick was to manipulate the URL as Buffalo still have the files on their site.
For example.
Version 1.64 is available on this link.
To get hold of version 1.37 i changed the numbers at the end to match.
I can't make any promises on how long this will continue to work for though.
Probably also worth noting, make sure you're on the correct site.
buffalotech.com is the USA site
buffalo-technology.com is for Europe
The Europe download site gives each file an ID number so it doesn't quite work the same.
For example
Version 1.64 download link is
Note the 153 on the end.
The release notes for that firmware are available on
154? Not helpful

Lennie Tristano: Line Up
Line Up
Lennie Tristano (piano)
Lennie Tristano / The New Tristano
Lennie Tristano (piano), Peter Ind (bass), Jeff Morton (drums).
Composed by Lennie Tristano.
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
When this track was first released, it attracted enormous attention . . . but not for the music. Tristano had "tampered" with the tapes by recording the piano part over a separate rhythm track, manipulating the music in the process. Tristano never provided details—and got testy when questioned about his method—but it appears that he brought the bass and drums down to half speed, and recorded the piano on top of this slower version, then accelerated the playback rate of the combined performance. A certain ethereal and detached quality permeates the finished product. The piano sound possesses a strange, unnatural crispness, and the question was raised whether Tristano wasn't trying to "trick" people into thinking that he could play faster than was actually the case.
The controversy would be less pronounced today, when studio splicing, dicing and "fixing" are a high-tech art. But the sad result of this brouhaha was that it distracted attention from Tristano's brilliant performance. "Line Up" is one of the great linear improvisations in the modern jazz heritage. Students could profitably study this solo, learning from its crystalline structure, unlocking the artistry of its phrasing, the rhythmic relationship of melody to the ground beat, and the harmonic implications of Tristano's lines. The chord changes are borrowed from "All of Me," but instead of the romantic sensibility of that standard, Tristano offers a diamond-hard coolness purged of all emotional excesses. This is as pure and abstract as music can get. At any speed, "Line Up" is a masterpiece.

Most misunderstand Lennie's treatment of phrasing. The Tristano "school of jazz" stresses extreme individualization of individual notes and cells within phrases, each note being of significant importance, not just a "go-to" to get from one end of the phrase to the other. No matter how quickly the notes are played in succession, each one has its own spin with a parameter that sets it apart from the one surrounding it. Because of this, deliberate metric swing, or shuffle, is unnecessary to create dramatic propulsion, which is why the music sounds "cooler" (cool-school) than the jazz norm of pushing tied eighth note trips (the "jazz" eighths played like triplet eighths with the first two notes tied, even though written as straight eighths). Internote dynamics are one way to acheive this. Where most jazz players will swing by rhythmically playing a phrase as: Daaa-Da, Daaa-Da, Daaa-Da, Daaa-Da... etc. but with all other parameters of production being static, "cool-school" players can impart a swingless swing by imparting the following dynamic profile (on a scale of 1-10) to those notes: 5-5-10-5-1-5-1-10-5-1-1-5-10-5-1-10-5-, etc. Now, what that did was very interesting. It created 3 different phrasing sub-groups within the same phrase. Notes that pop out at you dynamically from within the phrase. Keep in mind that the same way Tristano school musicians individualized the dynamics note to note, we also were taught that each note should have an entire life of it's own to maximize instant creation. Not only it's own dynamic, but it's own metric quantized or unquantized placement, it's own ASDR (attack envelope = attack, decay, sustain, release), or duration within that quantized ot unquantized space. Using this type of mindset, you can play the same 10 note phrase over and over and never repeat it exactly the same way twice! Control over the parameter of each note is of equal importance! And think about it. Isn't this what the greatest singers do? Lennie felt that pianists should strive to develop the same amount of control over note production as "breathing" musicians (wind players and singers). This is why singing/scatting with melodies and solos is so very important, not just to duplicate the notes, but to duplicate every phrasing nuance of the dialect one is filling their musical psyche with. Here's my Youtube video of my version of Lennie's Scene and Variation: http://youtube.com/watch?v=5C5gnAqgttY&feature=user
// Jan 21, 2008 at 01:12 AM
Lennie could have played these two tracks at tempo but not with the same intense degree of individualized spin on each connecting note. In order to dramatically increase the dynamic curve and phrase envelope, brething more horn-like life into his piano produced lines, Lennie recorded it at half speed, with his right hand one octave below where it sounds on regular speed playback. At two points, it's evident that Lennie "touched" the tape during recording because twice a definite "vibrato" can be heard, especially on the 21st note of E.32nd. I'm sure this wasn't a gliche and purely intentional because it fits a horn phraseology so well. That is the gist of Lennie's half speed recording of these two tracks. Not because he couldn't execute it at full speed, but because he wanted to impart as close of a horn-like phrasing to his piano lines as possible and slow-play made internote dynamics of a wider range possible.

Hospitals have highest number of occupational injuries
August 18, 1999
In 1996, hospitals reported the highest number of nonfatal workplace injuries of any private-sector industry. There were more than 330,000 occupational injury cases in private hospitals.
[Chart data—TXT]
Among other industries with the greatest number of injuries, eating and drinking places had the second highest level, at 315,100 cases. Nursing and personal care facilities experienced 226,300 cases of workplace injury, while grocery stores had nearly as many—219,200 cases. Of the eight industries with the most injuries, only one was in the manufacturing sector: motor vehicles and equipment manufacturing.
The large number of injuries in each of these industries reflects in part the fact that these industries employ large work forces. However, the incidence rate—the number of injuries per 100 full-time workers—was above the private-sector average of 6.9 in all of these industries except eating and drinking places. For example, in hospitals the incidence rate was 11.0 cases per 100 full-time workers and in nursing and personal care facilities, the rate was 16.5.
These data are a product of the BLS Safety and Health Statistics Program. Additional information is available from Occupational Injuries and Illnesses: Counts, Rates, and Characteristics, 1996 (BLS Bulletin 2512).

As Told By Postage Stamps
The postage stamps that we used to stick on envelopes before mailing them document the history of Turkish aviation in miniature...
Have you ever taken a close look at the stamps on the letters and postcards that arrive in your mailbox? These stamps, which are stuck on envelopes and then travel from city to city, sometimes even from country to country, are a virtual gold mine of information. The currency unit of their country of origin, its form of government, its geography, its endemic plants and animals, its historical ruins and monuments, and its national costumes are just a few of the things stamps can tell us. In short, these colorful little pieces of gummed paper are like miniature documents chronicling the history of their land of origin. Here we are going to tell the history of Turkish aviation as recorded on the country's postage stamps.
Postage stamps were first used in England in 1840. And 63 years later man began to fly through the air in a contraption called the 'airplane'. The first flight in an engine-powered plane, made by the Wright brothers in the United States on 17 December 1903, soon led to further initiatives in the field in the other advanced nations of the world. Countries like England, France, Germany and Italy developed the first airline companies. Among the Turks, the history of aviation is regarded as having commenced with Hezarfen Ahmed Çelebi, who in the 17th century made the first flight from the Galata Tower on the European side to Doğancılar Square at Üsküdar on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus on wings made of eagle feathers. But the beginning of aviation in the true sense of the word dates to 1911 when the first planes were purchased at the instigation of the then-War Minister, Mahmut Şevket Pasha, and the Ottoman Air Force was founded. Planes manufactured with the latest technology were bought, emphasis was put on training pilots to fly them, and new airports were opened right and left. While similar developments in aviation were under way all over the world, airplanes were also taking on a new responsibility beyond that of the national defense, namely 'carrying the mail'. Countries that had founded airlines began using planes to ensure 'speedy' delivery of mail being sent from one place to another many kilometers away. And thus the phenomenon of 'air mail' came into being.
The world's first official airmail was carried in India on 18 February 1911 when some six thousand letters and postcards were transported by a 'Humber-Sommer'- type aircraft from Allahabad to Naini five miles away. The first airmail in Turkey traveled from Lefke to Bilecik on a plane called 'Prens Celaleddin', flown by pilot Captain Nuri and navigator Captain Ismail Hakkı on 12 February 1914. Planes, balloons, zeppelins and birds were the usual themes appearing on the stamps used for air mail letters, which cost slightly more than normal postage rates. With the introduction of air mail, the captivating notion of flight began to draw the attention of stamp collectors as well, and within a short time a new branch of philately emerged known as 'aerophilately'. The first official postage stamp on the aviation theme was issued in 1917 by the Italian Postal Service to commemorate a test flight between Rome and Turin. This was followed by issues of more stamps in other countries, and the issuing of air mail stamps continues to this day.
The first air mail stamps issued in Turkey are the 'First Airplane Series', brought out to coincide with the Istanbul-Ankara flight made by the State Airline in 1934. This series of five stamps consists of a picture of an airplane and a price surcharge printed on some stamps remaining from a 22-stamp series actually issued in 1930. But the original series on the theme of aviation is a four-stamp series printed for the Türk Tayyare Cemiyeti (Turkish Aviation Society), or Türk Hava Kurumu as it is known today. These stamps, which were either affixed to envelopes alongside normal postage stamps on special occasions like national holidays or used as revenue stamps on a broad array of official papers from ownership deeds to notarized documents, occupy an important place in 'aerophilately' collections.
Some 140 stamps on the aviation theme have been issued in Turkey since 1926 either as postage stamps or as Turkish Aviation Society stamps. Furthermore, more than fifty special philatelic stamps, most of them commemorating inaugural flights by Turkish Airlines, are also in use today. While many of these are used for air mail, several were also printed as commemorative stamps for a wide range of occasions from key events in civil aviation to the promotion of air sports. The original special philatelic stamp was issued around the time of the first Istanbul-Rome flight, undertaken by the State Airline on 1 July 1933. Letters sent with these first flight stamps are therefore some of the most rare and valuable collectors' items among philatelists today.
Turkish postage stamps on the aviation theme document a host of details about the history of Turkish aviation, from Hezarfen Ahmed Çelebi's first flight on eagle's wings and the various types of aircraft used by the Turkish Air Force and Turkish Airlines to aviation conventions, the sports activities of the Aviation Society and the Air Acrobatics Team. Still others display compositions involving birds, those quintessential symbols of flight. Indeed, these stamps constitute a veritable history of the development of aviation.
With the continuous spread of air transport and the use of hi-tech supersonic planes today, any distinction between regular mail and air mail has long since become a thing of the past in many countries. The consequent decline in special air mail stamps means that they live on only in collections. Happily however stamps on the themes of aviation and outer space will always be with us.

I absolutely love the fact that we've reached a point in this country where I don't need to explain why a sake tasting in San Francisco or New York might be an enjoyable way to spend an evening. In the five years since I've been writing this blog, sake has gone from obscure to obvious, hardly known to hip. The availability and visibility of sake in the US has blossomed, driving by fine dining establishments and the increasing popularity of all things Japanese.
Despite this, however, the average wine lovers' knowledge of sake is extremely limited, mostly by virtue of not having tasted very much sake side-by-side in comparison with one another. And that of course, is where the Joy of Sake comes in. This tasting event, the largest public sake tasting outside of Japan, is much more than just an opportunity to compare a few sakes. Nowhere outside of Japan do consumers have the opportunity to sample so many different, and so many high quality sakes as they do at this event. For anyone truly interested in sake, this tasting cannot be missed.
Hundreds of different sakes are on offer, including the scores of gold and silver medal winners from the annual U.S. National Sake Appraisal, a competition held each year in Hawaii. Dozens of local restaurants serve up sake friendly food to accompany the brews, which are sampled by attendees using the traditional eyedroppers to fill their glasses.
The one difference between the Joy of Sake tasting and a normal wine tasting event has to do with the information that is available to the curious taster. While there are volunteers whose job it is primarily to make sure that the reservoir cups of sake don't run dry, these folks have an extremely inconsistent knowledge of what they're actually pouring. Unlike a large public wine tasting where the folks behind the table are informed about their particular wine, there is little or no information available about these sakes, should you fall in love with any of them, or have questions about what you are tasting.
Despite this lack of information, the event can be an incredible education to the attentive palate, and is always a great reminder to me of just how much great sake there is out there to be experienced.
Sadly, for reasons I cannot explain, it seems that the event organizers have decided to downsize the event in San Francisco. While the New York event seems to offer the usual selection of hundreds of sakes, the San Francisco event is no longer called The Joy of Sake event. Instead it is being billed as the Sake Soiree, and its venue has changed to Yoshi's nightclub and restaurant. While the event web site suggests that there will still be more than 100 sakes to choose from, the lower admission price and the change of name seems to signify that the event will be less than full blown.
Not like you (or I) were going to taste all 200 of the sakes anyway, right?

Tickets are $50 per person for San Francisco and $80 for New York. and can be purchased in advance online. The price goes up at the door.
Sake tasting is even harder work than wine tasting, as sake is higher in alcohol and much more subtle in flavor. I recommend snacking your way through the tasting to keep your palate fresh. Maddeningly, in the past years they have not provided spit buckets with any regularity, so I recommend bringing your own spit cup or bottle if you are a serious taster. And if you truly consider yourself the latter, I also recommend bringing a small white wine glass, the better to appreciate the aromas.

Since current core sets all have a returning mechanic of some kind - usually a keyword, although Magic 2014 used "Sliver tribal" for its old-is-new-again theme - each year there is speculation about what the one for the upcoming core set will be. The mechanics in question have to be simple, relatively neutral flavorfully, and lead to good gameplay and interesting decisions for even beginners, and Mark Rosewater recently advocated one oft-repeated mechanic for the slot.
When openfire1 asked Rosewater on his Tumblr blog, "What would be the chance of Cycling being the main mechanic of a core set? And if it was, what colors do you think it would be placed in?" he said:
Cycling could be in a core set. I have no idea what colors would get it. It depends how we used it/what type of spells we put it on.
Almost every color but white is a "natural" fit for cycling. Blue obviously has hand filtering and card draw and "pursuit of enlightenment" flavor, black is willing to discard as a cost and fill up its graveyard, as well as to throw away lesser resources callously, red is impulsive and nowadays gets looting effects in its slice of the color pie, and green is tertiary in card draw and has an idea of "mulching." However, since core set keywords are typically relegated to two or three colors, blue and red seem most likely, since cycling is able to be used as an instant or sorcery mechanic as well as a creature one.

Exercise 3, page 13 from Golan's book ("The Linear Algebra a Beginning Graduate Student Ought to Know"): Define a new operation $\circ$ on $\mathbb{R}$ by setting $a\circ b= a^{3}b.$ Show that $\mathbb{R}$, on which we have the usual addition and this new operation as multiplication, satisfies all of the axioms of a field with the exception of one.
My work: The new operation is not commutative and there is no identity of multiplication. If there exists $x\in \mathbb{R}$ such that $a\circ x= a = x\circ a$, then $a^{3}x=a=x^{3}a$. If $a\neq 0$ then $x=1$ and the first equality would gives us $a=\pm 1$.
Is the exercise wrong or I am doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!
PS.Please, correct any mistake I made.

The president vows to do all he can to prevent a re-occurrence of what he called the "worst day" of his presidency.
11:14, UK, Tuesday 01 January 2013
Barack Obama has voiced scepticism about proposals to put armed guards in schools, following the Sandy Hook massacre of 20 children and six adults.
The president told NBC's Meet The Press that he wants legislation aimed at containing gun violence passed next year.
In his most specific remarks about gun violence since the deadly assault at the Newton elementary school, Mr Obama revealed how deeply the tragedy affected him.
"This is something that, you know, that was the worst day of my presidency. And it's not something that I want to see repeated," he said.
The shootings prompted renewed calls for greater gun controls.
But the National Rifle Association has resisted those efforts vociferously, arguing instead that schools should have armed guards for protection.
"I am sceptical that the only answer is putting more guns in schools," President Obama countered.
"And I think the vast majority of the American people are sceptical that that somehow is going to solve our problem."
The president said he still supports increased background checks and bans on assault weapons and high capacity bullet magazines.
"It is not enough for us to say, 'This is too hard so we're not going to try,'" he said.
"I think there are a vast majority of responsible gun owners out there who recognise that we can't have a situation in which somebody with severe psychological problems is able to get the kind of high capacity weapons that this individual in Newtown obtained and gun down our kids."
Authorities say the gunman Adam Lanza also killed his mother at their home, and later took his own life at the school.

Orlando Salido showed Vasyl Lomachenko all the slick tricks in the book in the TV opener of a Top Rank card, at the Alamodome in San Antonio Saturday night. Holding and hitting, hitting on the break, low blows galore, Salido sent notice from minute one that the pro ranks are a different brand of battle than the amateurs. He was aided by ref Laurence Cole, who left his glasses at home.
The scrap, a thorough and violent and perhaps eye opening introduction to the real rigors of the pros, ended with us going to the cards. The judges rewarded the vet, Salido, with a SD12 win, by scores of 115-113 (Loma), 116-112 (Salido) and 115-113 (Salido). The decision almost wasn't necessary, as Loma had Salido buzzed pretty bad in the 12th, but it was too little too late.
Salido went 142-645 to 164-441 for Loma.
After Salido said to Max Kellerman he knew the fight would be tough. He was asked if he felt offended that a newbie thought he could beat him. No, he said. He was a two-time gold medallist, and a true champ, the victor said. As for the weight, he said he's been at the weight, for 12 years, and he can no longer do it. Was he buzzed bad late? "He did hurt me," he admitted.
Loma then spoke to Kellerman. The loser, who did well to compete with such a capable vet, but does slide back in the eyes of those who believed he was the second coming, was gracious in defeat. He was asked why he didn't return low blows. He explained that he is a clean fighter. As for Salido's size, Loma said that it is what it is.
Loma (26; from the Ukraine) was 125 1/4 and 136 on fight night, while Salido (40-12-2; age 33; from Mexico) was 128 1/4 on Friday, and was 147 on fight night.
Salido gave up his WBO 126 pound crown with the Scale Fail.
Loma, who started boxing at age 4 or 5, followed his dad's footsteps. He said he hopes for the safety of all the citizens of the Ukraine, not caring to take sides in the scary situation of upheaval in that region. "The worst part is, I can't do much about it," he said. He fought six bouts and got paid for them, in the World Series of Boxing, so he's actually 6-0, not 1-0, in the eyes of many. Including me.
In the first, Loma's hand speed stood out. His corner told him to stay off the ropes, and relax after the round. Stick and move, said Loma's dad, his trainer.
In the second, Salido tried to land a power right, and served notice that he was there to do damage, even if his camp wasn't the most successful.
In the third, Loma moved a bunch, as Salido stalked. The action was slow to this point. In the fourth, Salido picked it up. His body work worked, and he was making it a rumble. Loma was mobile but didn't make that work for him as much as his backers would have hoped. He did land a hard right late.
In the fifth, Loma landed right hooks more. He looked to clinch several times, as he had in prior rounds. In round six, it was more evenly matched action.
In round seven, Salido kept on throwing and landing sneaky low blows. In round eight, Salido wasn't acting tired. He pressed forward, intent on pressing the issue, keeping pressure on the new pro.
In the ninth, Loma again looked a bit confused, what to do when he got close, hit, hold or move. His corner told him to avoid low blows after the round, instead of aiming that advice to the ref. In the tenth, Salido went down, but not off a knockdown. Was Salido fading? No, he kept winging.
In the 11th, Salido kept bulling forward. He dropped his head, and kept on tossing. High and low, but the ref seemed to have blinders on. It was not a sharp night for Laurence Cole. Salido held Loma's right arm as Loma tried to pull back, and landed a right...The vet has all the moves.
In the 12th, Jim Lampley called Cole a "dreadful referee." He missed a bunch of Salido low blows. And Loma holding. A straight left hurt Salido late, and Salido had to hold to clear his head. Loma almost had him out. But we saw the final bell..
Looks like there need to be some adjusting to the pros, and Lomanchenko should be fine
Lomanchenko has to learn how to fight crowded and on the inside. Of course he ate a hundred low blows and that will make any fighter start to clinch and stop those shots. He started slow and got behind early.
Salido is a crafty veteran and he made bhop look like a novice at the tricks of the trade. He was quite dirty
with lots of illegal blows.
Salido was sneaky indeed. From not making weight to gaining 19 pounds over night and getting a referee of his choice to let him continuously foul with low blows, head butts and Illegal wrestling tactics.
I ain't hating him. Because he simply hollered on tricks of the trade against an inexperienced pro fighter and corner. V-Lo's cornermen should have been losing their dang minds.
"Don't mess with Texas." If you don't know, yo' @$$ away 'em Texans will blow. And referee Larry Cole will flicking cheat in every show. Holla!
Yep I had no problem with Salido, it is the refs job and the corners of VL to get the ref to respond and look for certain things. What is with Loma's corner? by round 6 my dad would have been telling me to sit down and get this dirty mofo out of here.
They are still in that olympic style mindset, even during post fight interview, Loma said he didn't want to fight back dirty, never brought it to the ref's attention
Please don't mention Lomachenko in the same breath as Rigondeaux anymore. Shame on the folks that were foolish enough to do so. I understand Lomachenko had the cards stacked against him (low blows, weight disparity), but he was supposed to be so skilled that none of that mattered. Its time for some of you to eat crow. Holla!
Lomachenko bit off more than he could chew against Salido, but Laurence Cole once again lived up to his atrocious reputation as a ref.
Lomachenko also didn't go to the body enough, Salido was catching Lomachenko to the body when he would Loma would would exit exchanges. Loma's high guard seemed to expose him to the body shots.
I take nothing away from Salido, he did what Cole gave him; a lot.
Hopefully this will be a great learning experience for Lomachenko and his management.
Don't jump the gun, SRD. V-Lo learned a lot. Now he has the best shot. There is still gold at the end of the rainbow in his pot. Finished he is not. What it takes and time he's got.
Jamaican-Cuban Willie Rigo has only a few more years left. He is listed at 33 years old. But with three kids, the oldest an 18-year-old daughter, he is riding 40 years old and not paying child support.
The USA is in such hatred of politricks against the Cuban government that defecting Cuban boxers making thousands of dollars of money are not forced to pay child support back in Cuba. This is a violation of human rights and the United Nations.
WTF! Whaddu wif dat? Anywhere else but Texas, V-Lo would broke the record -- held by an Asian -- for least fights to win a major corrupted alphabet-sanctioning organization world title.
What is the name of the fighter who holds the record? And in how many bouts did it take him to win? Including the WBF too. It was a major corrupted alphabet-sanction organizations until your's truly with a group of ______ ______ stripped of their _____ kicked it arse along with kicking the _____ ______ outta the IBF too? Holla!
I think that was the worse job of reffing I've witnessed. As for Lomachenko, I can't say I was impressed with anything I saw him do in the ring tonight. The hype that preceded him coming into this fight combined with the pre-fight hand speed footage, I was expecting him to wreck Salido in the same fashion Garcia did. But he showed a lot of class by making no excuses...I'll be tuning in to watch his next fight to see if he puts on a better performance.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If I was managing a fighter we would never fight in Texas. Lawrence Cole continues to be a discrace. That being said I was expecting to see Lomachenko walk on water on his way to the ring. Looked to me like he could have used a few more fights before jumping up to the world class pro level. I'm sure he will be better going forward. Hopefully he learned to steer clear of Texas.
Each generation the boxing gods bless us with a new seed of hope who brings the culmination of boxing knowledge gleened from every fighter who laced on pair throughout the history of the sport and advances that knowledge to a new pinnacle of expertise heretofore never witnessed by the likes of Mankind.
And from what I witnessed last night
Lomanchenko ..... Ain't that guy.
I give him props for rolling the dice... Taking the chance... And absorbing more low blows than is possible for a man who hasn't had a sex change operation.
For Chrissakes man ... Foul him back ..bite his ear... Thumb his eye... Go for the KO...talk about his mama... Take a five minute break ...BUT DO SOMETHING.
Much respect again for Lomo's post fight responses.. He does have some core skills but don't match him against Rigo anytime soon...
Don't even match him against Donaire!!!
With patience... His time will come.
And stay the f@ck away from Texas. Unless U R a serial killer... Going to marry your sister....
Like going to a chain gang... Or are obsessed with refs who can't officiate.
I got to eat crow on this one. Vl was classy in his interview . I thought cole was banned . His Danny is on the commission or something. That was criminal boxing all around. Low blows ,holding and a crooked ref . The weight thing was done on purpose and roj jones even said a pro camp would of negotiated a weight limit the day of the fight not putting on more then 10 or 12 over the weight. A pro corner would have complained to the ref hard, a pro corner would have said look son eye for an eye. Low blow him back until the ref takes points from anyone fo crying out loud . Joey gamache is training him, he knows about weights due to the lawsuit he had against gatti for putting on 20 lbs before their fight. Where was gamache during all this.
Yep his corner should have told him keep him at the end of your stick on the outside with strong jabs and throw at least 2-3 punches at a time to swarm him and wear him down.
Salido is pretty crafty but VL has the youth, speed and energy where he could have out hustled him to a points decision if he would have fought the proper fight.
Perhaps a rematch down the road.
Joey Gamache was wuzzy out by V-Lo's dad. The corrupted alphabet-sanctioning commissions should enforce their on rules. It is and always has been a no-gain-of-more-than-10-pounds-the-night-of-the-bout rule. Obviously the commissions are waving this rule because of politricks with lose of sanctioning money and bytching of the TV mafia losing televising of the bouts.
Back in the day, it was a big stink by the TV mafia when Diego Corrales refused to fight overweight J.L. Castillo and Showtime or HBO -- I don't recall which -- lost millions of dollars.
It is always the BIG money that allows the BIG cheat. Holla!
Strange bout all the way 'round. As to VL's management... why match him with boxing's best "spoiler" for his debut? He needs to find a better team. Was hoping for another Rigo... not even close. Salido should insist on having L. Cole ref his remaining fights. The fix was in. No way in hell Cole doesn't see dozens of obvious fouls. He should be banned. Someone could get hurt. Good on Lamps for repeatedly highlighting his atrocious reffing.
I thought Lomachenko was almost as good as advertised. Even from the first fight I didn't think he was as good as advertised but I thought he ain't bad. We all knew Salido is as tough as nails and that he was going to fight in the style that he did. I thought Lomachenko would be good enough to take him apart like Mikey Garcia did. At least I thought he would box the h*ll out of him. He couldn't. He wouldn't even fight fire with fire and return some of the low blows. Show me a good loser and I'll show you a good loser. I agree with SRD and BSug, he will be alright and maybe even brilliant against some but he ain't the guy to be considered an all time great. In fact there are some boxers that he will never be more than adequate against. Very disappointed. He learned a lesson he should have already known ala Broner.
One other thing, they have to give not making weight a more severe penalty. Penalize up to 50% of their purse or something. More fighters should decline the fights, although I know that can be hard for someone who may not get another opportunity, but if you can that could be an option. One that sucks I'll admit.
People who say that boksing is a one-man sport are not only liars, but d@mn archmaster liars and BIG ole fools. The seconds in the corner are key to a win. During the bout, they can be bytching at the commissioner to tell the referee to become unbiased and d@mn unblinded.
Larry Cole really needed a seeing dog which would have bark each time that Salido went low, head butted, stepped on V-Lo's toes and knee bumped V-Lo.
Salido difinitely did an archmaster's tricks of the trade on V-Lo. And Larry Cole is not exclusively at fault for his apparently inattentional blindness to see syet. All the hate that Cole gets forces him into subliminal incompetence. And again, Team V-Lo is at fault about 90 percent, V-Lo about five percent, the referee about one percent and the promoter and corrupted WBO about two percent a piece. Holla!
Yes I agree those were some very audacious and egocentric moves by Arum.
But a gutsy try by the kid.
He didn't live up to the hype but more fighters should take a leap of faith and take on the impossible challenges..... Maybe not so extreme as Lomo.. but if more fighters took chances they wouldn't be criticized so badly when they lose if everybody was doing it.
Then boxing could return to the golden age.
Arum's time is limited... His successors will do better.
im eating crow on this one big time, but i still believe VL can come back hardcore and be great. its not like he got his a$$ whopped, he just got schooled up by a true vet who knows a trick or two of the trade. much props to crafty salido, which im a fan of btw and i actually thought VL was going to walk through him. i truly counted him out like a dummy. i hope VL learned a great lesson from this second pro fight, if he studies this fight and everything about it from the weight issue to the dirty tactics and officiating, i know he can be up there soon. slowly but surely, i think thats what he should have done from the beginning, but hey i bought into the hype way too early, but i still do believe in him.
Hey Shadow what do you think of this scenario.
Its been Reported that Loma demanded the title shot.
But clearly every thing from the venue to the officiating favored Salido. ....Even the audience had no love for him.
Do you think Arum purposely tossed Loma into the lions den of hostile territory for the purpose of fostering Loma's dependency on Top Rank.
To let him feel the sensation of getting in to deep?
Was Arum conditioning the kid to need his guidance so Loma doesn't become another defector like Mayweather... And take charge of his own career?
What do you think?
As a high yellow-brown dude, who can stick around, I will holla the actually of the reality as I always do. And never hide in the shade, and will call a spade a spade.
It is all about the HUE of the skin. V-Lo was a victim of it. Cuban Willie Rigo is too a victim of it. V-Lo was being pushed as a white knight in shining armor when the armor is not that shiny. And CWR's armor is that shiny, but he is a Jamaican-Cuban knight that for the paying public is not the right-selling sight. [And you guys and gals know the sad charter of out-of-the-closet (gay) Orlando Cruz.]
In the Western world, talent and skills without the right looks might get you in the history books, but it won't get you in the super-BIG moolah hooks. And it is prizefighting, not pride fighting.
In this seedy, shady, sneaky hurt bitnezz [$¡¢] of nowadays boksing, if you don't have stereotyping and/or looks working deeply for you, you don't fit that bill and will never get up the hill.
In other words, the Ukrainian boxer, the Cuban boxer and the gay boxer didn't have the whole nine, so they are minus a gold mine.
One had the skin hue, good facial looks and talent, but not the full amount of skills and KO power.
One had the skills and talent, but not the KO power, skin hue and looks.
And one had the latest civil rights catch, but not the skills, talents and KO power.
The perfect fitting fighter will be found only in the mythology of the movies. Holla!
Serious question. Why "kinda say" something without saying it? GOAT Ali told me to always say what's on my mind, especially when it is very, very true. Even if the haters and posers and cover uppers want to beat you black and blue. "Let 'em be the cowards, not you."
Now I've got my arse kicked and handed to me by nuns, my grannies, great grannies, momma, big sisters and senior female aunties and senior female cousins, but I've manned up and went out on my shield still talking smack. For guts, I will never lack. [I'm a king. And will do wars with and against kings.
But those d@mn queens got my number. Danggit! As I've mentioned before, "Life is like playing chess for Pinoy TIME, BABEEE!
"The king is the head, but ole queeny control da moves on dat chessboard of life."> Holla!
Nope! Certain things won't come across at the first, second, third or umpteen beating of a dead horse. The human brain has filters that just keep on filtering out realities of actualities of people that optical illusions are often played on.
I know how and why the illusions are done, so I'm seldom in the been-fooled-again group. I'm one that -- like my icon and godfather GOAT Ali -- WON'T STFU! Hehehe!
Weak minds will try to flip you into going along to get along. I should have known that you were just down with O-P-P. Hehehe! Y'all know me. Holla!
@The Shadow, holla at "Random Topics" some time tonight, USA mainland time. I will give you some spices and seeds that you may need to add to diet for that eye-candy body look, which also give you killa power to swifty and quickly wreck arse. Holla!
The game is full of optical illusions. V-Lo was in about his 10 professional scrap. Dude got excellent apprenticeship in the WSB. Fans are not sympathizing with him. Maybe fanfaronades are because they don't know the reality of the actuality. And they don't know that there is more smoke and mirrors in da hurt bitnezz than a show of magicman David Copperfield.
Just because a fanfaronade is not in da know, one still needs to stop and yield. And for promotion tricks, quick going out on your shield. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?
