New York's Church of the Holy Communion has had many names since it was opened in the mid-1800s. Originally built as an Episcopal religious space, the Gothic revival-style building was later acquired by Miami club owner Peter Gatien, who converted it into the notorious party venue Limelight in 1983. After years as a popular destination for celebrities, young urban tastemakers, and eager club kids—during which time it was repeatedly shut down by the police and later renamed—the Limelight eventually closed its doors for good in 2007. New York scensters and fashionistas needn't bemoan the passing of the iconic party space any longer, however, as it will soon be reopened as Limelight Marketplace, a boutique, three-story retail mecca.
Jack Menashe, who formerly owned Soho nightclub Lounge, is the man behind this ambitious facelift. Aided by designers James Mansour and Melisca Klisanin, the $10 million renovation has steadily transformed the 25,000-square-foot space from a bustling nightclub into a daytime shopping haven. Located in the perennially hip Flatiron district, the venue is now set up to house 70 small vendor stalls, several quaint eateries, and two full-scale restaurants, all of which will create a beehive of activity within the hallowed, historical building.
Visitors will be treated to retail options like jewelry, clothing, organic goods, and artisanal treats in an atmosphere that Menashe envisions as a place where families can come and browse all day. Targeted at savvy shoppers, the businesses include everything from a sneaker gallery with unique, sought-after kicks to an apothecary that sells cult brands. When asked by WWD about the inspiration behind the project, Menashe replied: "Retail became very boring. We're trying to make this fun."
It remains to be seen how this new incarnation of the building will turn out, but with all the cards stacked in a promising direction it looks like Limelight Marketplace might be just the right fit.

Now, we consider our sneaker collection to be fairly vast. There's the fitness category—you know, for running, hiking, hitting the occasional cardio class. There's the casual category—shoes you slip on before heading to the store or picking up the kids. There's even a novelty category, with retro, funky or other quirky styles eating up closet space as well.
But we have nothing—nothing!—on Penny Gold. The Imelda Marcos of sneakers owns a magnificent 733 pairs of Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars, Today reports, and her shopping habit may have helped her set a new Guinness Book of World Records.
The former teacher from Florida had so many Chucks, she used to wear a different pair to school every day, challenging her students to catch her recycling, according to the news show. They never could.
Gold, 63, documented her ginormous stockpile of shoes for Guinness verification this week, but she should be, well, a shoo-in: Today notes the current record is a mere 403.
Converse, meet your next spokesperson. Because a love of kicks that great makes Gold an All Star in our eyes, record or not.

I am looking for a reasonable solution for network location switching after VPN connection is established for Windows 7. The scenario is as follows:
For location public (employee plugging in his laptop in hotel, public wi-fi,etc) all inbound connections are restricted, only outbound VPN + www is enabled.
Employee then initiates a VPN connection, VPN pushes routes to 10.0.0.0/8 subnet
Now I would like to have lax security rules for traffic from/to 10.0.0.0/8 that comes through the VPN interface, while still protecting the laptop from traffic that comes via uplink interface as if it was private.
How to achieve this switching and duality? One option I see is switching to IPSec...

Quarterback Travis Wilson finally got to hit someone, and get hit, on Sat. Aug. 16 during the Utah Utes second scrimmage of fall camp at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Utes QB Kendal Thompson, on the other hand, tended to avoid contact unlike his competition--a strategy which may give the Oklahoma transfer the upper hand as the decision to name a starting quarterback nears its exciting conclusion.
Before Saturday, doctors and team officials held Wilson out of all preceding full-contact drills and scrimmages due to an intracranial brain injury he suffered last fall. The 6-foot-7-inch Wilson looked no worse for the wear as he played his first tackle football in months. If it sounds like the opening scenes from any tear-jerking sports blockbuster, that's because, in the end, this wild story no reporter could ever make up might have a Hollywood ending.
Wilson not only threw the ball better than he had in a previous scrimmage--he ran it with authority, too. This from a kid whose career was thought to be over a few months ago. Then again, there is Thompson, son of a legend at Oklahoma who never made it big like his dad, the great Charles Thompson, did.
And so begins, or continues, this wild yet exciting quarterback controversy. If there was one opening argument in the saga unfolding between Wilson or Thompson, you would be somewhat confused there was a QB controversy after watching Wilson barrel down the field as Saturday's scrimmage unfolded at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Watching Wilson run is like watching a baby giraffe realize he has legs and can run pretty fast. The gait isn't always pretty--but it gets the job done. When you realized Wilson was also taking on live contact for the first time, it was like watching Bambi cross a busy intersection--you probably shuddered after Wilson took that first hit.
Despite missing several key starters including wide receivers Dres Anderson, Kenneth Scott--possibly still in shock after enduring Friday's Ice Bucket Challenge--and tight end Westlee Tonga who were all held out as precautionary measures, Wilson took all the hits and still he moved the ball down the field.
Extending plays with both his arm and his feet, Wilson threw for 145 yards and two touchdowns on 11-of-22 passing--and ran for another score with 53 yards on 11 carries. Not bad for a player who hadn't played real football since he suffered that injury to his brain.
Wilson's throws were on the money most of the time. On one TD, he pump faked out of his play action, zinging a 38-yard laser to wide receiver Kenric Young. Andre Lewis was Wilson's second beneficiary on an 18-yard howitzer from Wilson, again off of play-action. Sprinkle in a 6-yard scamper by Wilson, and you have yourself a pretty good day by Wilson's standards.
While Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham was pleased with Wilson's progress, he was a bit concerned about Wilson's devil-may-care attitude when it came to running the show.
"He had no hesitation. He didn't shy away from anything," Whittingham said post-game, acting like a proud papa giraffe. "In fact, in my opinion, he was a little too aggressive. You want to be smart. We have the quarterback run element to our offense, but you still do not want to take those direct hits. You want to try to dive into those gaps of daylight — and so he was probably too overzealous if anything today."
Even still, Whittingham wouldn't name Wilson as his starter, saying he'd rather look at more game film over the weekend in his office and make his decision on Monday.
That's because Thompson gave the Utah coaches no choice but to think long and hard about naming the OU transfer as the starter. Despite being in fall camp for just a few weeks now, the 6-foot-3 Thompson has rapidly closed the gap between himself and his 6-foot-7 competition.
Part of Thompson's rapid rise has had to do with a reasonable understanding of new offensive coordinator Dave Christensen's system--and part of it has to do with the fact that Thompson makes you think back to another speedy Utes signal caller, the unforgettable Brian Johnson.
Early in his career, BJ made more dumb decisions with the football than just about anyone who ever put on a Utah jersey. By the time Johnson was done, however, the Houston native led the Utes to a Sugar Bowl victory over mighty Alabama as a fifth-year senior by using football smarts he'd developed over time.
That's right; Johnson wasn't born with the ability to out-think his opponent--similar to Thompson, who didn't come to Utah thinking he knew the playbook already. Thompson has rapidly ascended the depth chart because he's willing to study long hours learning Christensen's complex schemes.
Over time, Ute fans will recall that Johnson learned when to leave the pocket to find more yardage and how to avoid making costly mistakes--like throwing interceptions when plays broke down. As Johnson got older, his ability to also know when to tuck his head and dive to save his body became more important than getting hit for the sake of getting a few more yards.
These lessons are ones that Wilson has yet to learn. Even if he was born with unconscionable height, has a baby giraffe's gait, good top-end speed and a cannon of an arm, he still makes bad errors in judgment. The underage drinking foray at a country music concert aside, Wilson threw several pick sixes last year that could have been avoided--had he learned to use better judgment.
If you think about Thompson, he's a prototype of Johnson. He has a decent arm, not a great one, he has to work for everything he gets and he can make plays with his feet. That much was apparent on Saturday.
Thompson did not wow anyone with his arm in this scrimmage, throwing for 129 yards on 8-of-18 passing and two touchdowns. But the touchdowns in and of itself were serious talking points because in Thompson, you see the daring but calculated nature that one day made Johnson great. Thompson, not Wilson, was the one who led the Utes' on their first scoring drive, a 65-yard touchdown strike to tight end Siale Fakailoatonga on a crossing route.
It was the longest touchdown of the day, on one of the first plays during the scrimmage. It wasn't a bomb like Wilson's first TD; it was simply a well-executed play that covered a lot of space in a short period of time. That fact alone had to impress Ute coaches and fans who were thinking that Dennis Erickson was the one who would bring a piece of Oregon Ducks-style football to the Beehive State.
Nope, it would be Christensen, a former Washington Husky. Thompson wasn't done, either. He'd find the end zone again on a 21-yard run and he'd find it yet again on a zippy little 9-yard pass play to young speedster Kaelin Clay. Never fear, Utes fans. Your return to those dink-and-dunk Johnson days of yore may be closer than you imagined.
Where Thompson may have separated himself from Wilson though was during the 2-minute drill, on the final drive of Saturday's scrimmage. In a way, it looked it came right out of the old Johnson playbook.
The offensive linemen didn't hold up their end of the bargain--again--and in came the other team's defense on a busted play. Their mission: seek and destroy. You've seen this movie before, right? You know, the one where Wilson, or Adam Schulz, or Jordan Wynn tried to do too much too soon?
Thompson collided with his tackler, alright, but unlike the three afore-mentioned, it was this OU reject who somehow stayed upright, gathering his wits about him as he inexplicably tightrope-walked along the paint marking the sideline, punch-drunk slightly but still stutter-stepping to maintain his balance and stay inbounds.
Once Thompson regained his equilibrium, he sprinted in true Hollywood fashion down the sideline to paydirt. Charles Thompson' son and possibly Brian Johnson's heir to the throne, whatever this kid from Oklahoma is, this son of an OU great--he's pretty good.
That second touchdown run to daylight and beyond gave Thompson 89 rushing yards on nine carries. Nobody could have written a better script than the one that played out on Saturday afternoon. There is a cautionary tale, however.
The player Whittingham thought he had in Terrance Cain--remember him?--and then didn't have when Cain turned out to be a bust is reason one why you should still be a little wary of this new guy from Oklahoma. Cain's misfortune during the post-Johnson era is why Whittingham turned to Norm Chow and settled for pro-style quarterbacks. All it's gotten Whittingham is three years, one bowl game thanks to an elite-level running back and defense, and two 5-7 seasons in a row.
Whittingham knows better now--after all, he's rolled the dice before on a junior transfer who could run like the wind and throw bullets.
At the end of it all, Whittingham was mum about which QB would start against Idaho State. He kept his poker face on for reporters afterwards, even when you know that deep down, this grizzled ball coach who was once a rising star in his profession, was squealing like a little kid when Thompson made that last play count in the biggest way possible.
"Both of them ran the ball well," Whittingham said post-game. "Both of them threw the ball much more effectively."

Authors: Babu, V Ramesh; Koushik, C V; Lakshmikantha, C B; Subramaniam, V

Abstract: A technique based on electrical open and closed circuit principle has been used to measure the vertical capillary height of the liquid in the fabric as the function of time. Vertical wicking height for different types of fabrics with different yarn counts and fabric densities is observed. It is found that the yarn count and fabric density influence the wicking behavior of the fabrics.

Authors: El-Molla, M M; Badawy, N A; AbdEl-Aal, A Y; El-Bayaa, A A; El-Shaimaa, H M G

Abstract: Cationisation of cotton and nylon 6 fabrics has been done using Solfix E, Tino fix Eco, Acramine berfix K and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide to impart cationic sites on fabric surface for improving their substantivity to acid dyes. Pre-cationisation of cotton and nylon 6 fabrics improves the depth of the colour as well as fastness properties. In all the cases, the overall colour fastness of cationic cotton dyed with acid dyes is found to be comparable to the colour fastness of the nylon 6 dyed with same acid dyes.

Authors: Sharma, Meena; Nachane, R P

Abstract: The effect of non-conventional scouring treatment (NST), using exclusively non-ionic surfactant, on the properties of cotton fibres of different species has been studied. It is observed that for the treated G. arboreum, G. barbadense, G. herbeceum and G. hirsutum the sinking time remains within the standard limits. No significant effect on uniformity ratio is observed for all the samples except for G. herbeceum. A decrease in 2.5% span length is recorded with all species, except with G. herbeceum. The species G. arboreum and G. hirsutum show an increase in micronaire values while G. herbaceum shows a decrease in the value. The % elongation decreases for G. arboreum and G herbeceum. SEM micrographs also suggest that the NST method can be conveniently used for different species of cotton.

Concluding a great day of international soccer friendly (ESPN live stream) action is a game between Mexico and Nigeria, which according to a March 5, 2014 ESPN-FC report, has a TV start time of 8:30 p.m. EST (7:30 p.m. CST/6:30 p.m. MST/5:30 p.m. PST) on ESPN-News and Watch-ESPN (online).
The Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Ga., will be the site for what many are calling a lopsided matchup. International friendly soccer oddsmakers agree, giving El Tri the nod this evening despite being in a neutral location.
According to the latest money lines, Mexico's national team comes in as a -105 money-line favorite to defeat a Nigerian side that's a huge +260 underdog. The OVER/UNDER for this live stream game is set at a combined total of 2½ goals, and alternate goal spreads have Mexico at -½ [-105] and Nigeria at +½ [-115].
Nevertheless, Manchester United's Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez was very thankful when manager Miguel Herrera penciled his name into tonight's starting lineup alongside: Guillermo Ochoa, Diego Reyes, Rafa Marquez, Hector Moreno, Paul Aguilar, Andres Guardado, Hector Herrera, Juan Carlos Medina, Luis Montes and Oribe Peralta.
"Whether I have the goals or the statistics or not, the truth is I try to leave my heart and soul in the match, I commit to deliver everything I have," the struggling Manchester striker told ESPN Tuesday night. "I am truly grateful to him because he didn't have to support me. He is the coach and we all have to give our souls to earn a spot on the team, but we can't live in the past either."
Can El Chicharito get out of his funk and help his countrymen win this World Cup 2014 warm-up game against a Nigerian squad with nothing to lose in this evening's international friendly? Tonight's Mexico vs. Nigeria TV (game time) broadcast is slated for 8:30 p.m. EST and so is the Watch-ESPN (online) live streaming feed.
Also courtesy of the Worldwide Leader in Sports, soccer fans can stream this soccer match (and replays) straight to a desktop or a number of (Internet) mobile devices (click here).

- Description: In his first defense, he beat former and future world champion George Foreman by unanimous decision in 12. The fight was billed as a "Battle for the Ages," a reference to the age differential between the young undefeated champion (28 years old) and the much older George Foreman (42 years old). Holyfield weighed in at 208 pounds and Foreman weighed in at 257 pounds. Foreman lost the fight by a unanimous decision, but surprised many by lasting the whole 12 rounds against a much younger opponent, even staggering Holyfield a few times and knocking him off balance in the seventh round.

It's that time of year again. A big fight beckons, so your old pal McCarson gathered picks from around the boxing world to see who will come out on top Saturday when Manny Pacquiao faces Timothy Bradley at the MGM in Las Vegas.
While the majority of TSS writers like Pacquiao to win a decision, a panel of 15 other boxing gurus ended up muuuuuch closer: 8 see Bradley winning, 6 see Manny the victor, and one abstained, on principle.
One panelist, boxing writer Matt McGrain, gave perhaps the most interesting response of the bunch. McGrain won't pick a winner and won't even watch the fight because he says fight fans "were robbed" back in 2012 when two boxing judges gave Bradley the nod in a bout most everyone else saw a clear Pacquiao win.
Without further adieu, here are Pacquiao-Bradley predictions from boxing's best panel of pickers.
TSS Crew Picks Pacman 8-1, Woods Says Draw
I'm going with Tim Bradley again. I picked him in the first fight and I pick him again in the rematch. He cleaned out the junior welterweights and now is targeting the welters. Bradley by TKO. -- David Avila, TheSweetScience.com
I've never been so timid to call a fight with conviction... I can genuinely see this going either way. I'm going with Pacquiao via majority decision, with one knockdown being the difference in the fight. -- Blake Hochberger, TheSweetScience.com
Pacquiao won the first time and did everything right except get the decision. Manny will try and turn up the heat and pressure more this time (because he doesn't believe Bradley can really hurt him) and Bradley will try to box and move a little more…The fight will go the distance and Pacquiao's hand will be raised regardless of whether or not he deserves the decision. -- Frank Lotierzo, TheSweetScience.com
I am not going to want this fight to end. I love Bradley's game. He continues to get better and looked great against Marquez. I would love to see Bradley fight Mayweather because of their styles. But Bradley doesn't have an answer for Pacquiao's speed. If I have to choose a winner, I like Pacquiao to win a close, highly competitive fight by KO. Pacquiao's speed and timing will be the deciding factor. -- Raymond Markarian, TheSweetScience.com
Bradley is going about it all wrong. He convinced himself he won the first fight when all but a very few people actually believed that to be the case. He'll go into the rematch thinking he can do the same thing and get the win. He can't. Pacquiao will defeat him more convincingly this time and win a wide unanimous decision. -- Kelsey McCarson, TheSweetScience.com
Freddie, as always, is making big promises about the "Old Manny" returning. It might sound like a tired tune, but the last time he said it, Manny almost finished off Marquez, even though it didn't quite pan out. If Freddie isn't just blowing smoke, an aggressive Manny could be all wrong for Bradley. This is a different Tim Bradley, though. After surviving Provodnikov and legitimately beating Marquez, Bradley rightly believes he's ready for prime time. I see a close, exciting fight with the difference being that Bradley won't be able to really hurt Pacman. That will allow Pacquiao to eek out a tight, unanimous decision. -- John Nguyen, TheSweetScience.com
After Bradley beat Pacquiao by split decision in 2012, Lennox Lewis said the outcome was "maybe not worse than my draw with Holyfield but still bad nonetheless." In that particular rematch, Holyfield performed better, but Lewis still won a unanimous decision. In this rematch, Bradley will show that he has the skills of a top-level fighter, but Pacquiao will walk away with a unanimous decision. A rubber match is inevitable. -- Aaron Tallent, TheSweetScience.com
Tim Bradley is good. Real damn good. I thought he'd be damaged goods after Ruslan gave him some wicked thumps. But he showed me YET AGAIN that my omniscience is a work in progress. The man has skills, and even if those skills don't include much in the pop department, he can box a doozy. The other guy can still too, and his flashy, still-present hand speed will get judge love onApril 12. And maybe you recall, they kind of owe Pacquiao one, don't they? I see 12 rounds that can go either way, though, and a MAJORITY DRAW. -- Michael Woods, TheSweetScience.com
Pacquiao's turn to take a close, questionable call, as he's done in Vegas a few times already. This time Arum will borrow a page from Bradley's book and show up with a poster for Pacquiao-Bradley 3. -- Phil Woolever, TheSweetScience.com
Contrary to popular belief, I thought the first fight was highly competitive. I'm expecting more of the same. However, this time, whether he deserves it or not, Pacquiao will be the one who has his arm raised.Pacquiao by SD. -- Lee Wylie, TheSweetScience.com

I like Pacquiao to win a competitive unanimous decision. He will be a lot more active in the ring and throw more eye-catching shots than Bradley will. I also think Pacquiao's power will be a big difference in the fight. He throws the type of punches that judges respond to—at least the competent ones. -- Adam Abramowitz, SaturdayNightBoxing.com
In their first tilt, Pacquiao did not land fractionally as often as he was expected, or in many cases seen, to do. Bradley's performance, too, was sub-par. Pacquiao will be slower but more aggressive this time. Bradley will be quicker but less aggressive. And it will be make-up day on the scorecards: Fans and pundits will see Bradley win on effectiveness, Las Vegas judges will see Pacquiao win on activity, and acrimony will ensue. -- Bart Barry, 15Rounds.com
Two years removed from a decision win he didn't deserve, Timothy Bradley Jr. has done nothing in the interim but improve. Now, at the peak of his absolute prime, expect the versatile boxer-puncher to utilize his speed, guile and fearlessness to claim a tight decision that's justified. Pacquiao remains one of the very elite fighters in the sport. But he's slowing down just a bit. Look for Bradley to utilize the confidence gained in the final few rounds of their first fight when he outboxed Pacquiao to score enough points to offset the Pacman's power shots that will likely sway the crowd in his favor. -- Brian Campbell, ESPN.com
While I agree with the masses that Pacquiao deserved to win the first go-round in 2012, I also think the intervening two years have been kinder to Bradley. Particularly in his Marquez fight, he showed the varied skills he'll need to handle a Manny who's either still what he was back then, or a trifle diminished. He's got speed, he's got guts and he's got the patience and the smarts to stick to a game plan that might make for a dull fight... but a successful ending. Give me Tim by a close decision, 115-113 let's say, and get ready for the third match. -- LyleFitzsimmons, CBSSports.com
It seems that most of the questions for this fight revolve around Manny. Is he still hungry? How much has he slipped? Does he still have that old killer instinct? Bradley is solid and has many tools. However, Manny looked quite good against Rios in November. So I say he's still got it. Pacquiao by unanimous decision. -- John DiSanto, PhillyBoxingHistory.com
There are very few ELITE fighters and even fewer elite fighters that love to slug it out: we are getting a combination of both in #PacBradley2. It's going to be a battle of who has the toughest chin, and right now, I think that is Bradley. But who has the most heart? -- GeorgeForeman IV, Foreman Boys Promotions
I'm still not convinced about the "not wearing socks" excuse. At the highest level, I'd imagine Bradley's feet being conditioned to fight without socks and to also prepare for "spongy" rings. I've fought all over the world in different conditions. A fighter shouldn't be surprised of the environment. Second, Bradley was able to utilize his skills against a much slower Marquez, who also took a lot of punishment from his last fight, which was with Pacquiao. Can we agree that Pacquiao is much faster than Marquez? I can't base Bradley's performance with Marquez being a "litmus test" of how much he's improved. No disrespect to Bradley, he's a great fighter, but whether he wears socks or not, I give the edge to Pacquiao winning. -- boxer Ana Julaton, former world champion
I like Bradley by unanimous decision with a display of athleticism and skill. -- Andy Lee, middleweight contender
PACQUIAO BY UNANIMOUS DECISION. I had Manny up by two rounds in their first fight. Even though he out-landed Bradley, in the middle round his activity level slumped after the 6th stanza. Manny is inspired for this one and I believe he will consistently press the attack this time around. In their first fight, Bradley was often able to slip Pacquiao's third and fourth punches. The Pacman has to change that on Saturday night and score his signature long combinations. Pacquiao has no respect for Bradley's power - which is both a plus and a minus. The minus is, of course, that Bradley could surprise him with a potent counter-right. The plus is that the power differential will make Pacquiao more comfortable staying in the pocket and throwing punches in bunches. Either way, I can't wait for this one - two amazing fighters and ambassadors for boxing. --Gordon Marino, Boxing.com
Pacquiao by decision. He won the first fight, no reason to think he won't win the second one as well, especially since he'll be coming in hungry to right the past. -- Rachel McCarson, Boxing Photographer
Not only am I not picking a winner for Pacquiao-Bradley II, I won't be watching. The day after the first fight I wrote that "anyone who buys the sequel is in some way endorsing the decision in the first fight", and that is how I feel about it. In the summer of 2012 we were robbed - you, me, every other boxing fan, Pacquiao, and not least of all Bradley, who supposedly came close to retiring in the wake of the hatred that enveloped him in the wake of that first ridiculous decision. Who robbed us? Some s------d that was after our money or two idiots that don't understand boxing. Doesn't matter. Pacquiao outclassed Bradley last time around, and the only reason there is a rematch is because of those idiots - or those criminals. My prediction is losers all round - the writers that cover it like it is a real fight, the fans that buy tickets, the fighters that got duped the first time around. Bob Arum will win though. Unlike other picks, this one is inarguably correct, and unaffected by the outcome. -- Matt McGrain, Boxing.com
Timothy Bradley Jr. is a dangerous fighter. He's highly skilled, determined and feels like he has something to prove. That's a dangerous mix, especially against an opponent who has been half in and half out of boxing for the past several years. In this fight, you can expect a lot of close, competitive rounds. But when the judges award them to Bradley, this time, he'll have earned them. He's just more intense and more desperate to prove himself than Pacquiao. Bradley "avenges" his win in the first fight with a close unanimous decision. -- Kevin McRae, BleacherReport.com
Many observors are picking Pacquiao, and understandably so. He's come back well after the sickening knockout loss to Marquez, as he looked fairly decent against Rios last November. Personally, I thought Manny would've been damaged goods after Marquez planted that bomb on his chin, but he's proved me wrong so far. But let's see what happens when he's hit regularly with full blooded punches and is truly tested. Bradley doesn't need to fully commit himself - yes, I'm talking about being pretty aggressive - to win via knockout or on points. He should hang back a little bit behind the jab while using his speed and movement, occasionally stepping in with countering power punches, then swiftly departing - Marquez style. To sum that up in a simple format: Boxing combined with sporadic attacks, making himself multi-dimensional. He's got the speed, timing, athleticism and style to accomplish such a strategy. However, he's got to adjust to what Manny does as the fight progresses. Another thing he needs to do is match, or surpass, Manny for workrate to hang in there when it comes to convincing the judges. Crucial. When Manny is in the mood and firing on all cylinders, he's no joke. Although not with concrete conviction, I'll go for Bradley on points. --fighterwriter Robbi Paterson
A lot has happened since Pacquiao and Bradley first met in the ring. The Bradley vs. Provodnikov fight is one of the most memorable I've seen. I remember where I was, who I was with, and thinking, "HOLY COW." Although Tim took quite a beating, he served one greater. I think he will do the same with Manny. This is Tim's chance to shut people up for all the detestation after their first fight, and I think he will take full advantage of it. In other circumstances, the idea of having to avenge a win doesn't make sense, but here it does. Hopefully this will be the final statement to bring Tim the respect he deserves. Of the Bradley fight, JMM said, "...you don't have to knock a guy out to win." But with Tim Bradley, maybe you do. That is something I don't see happening. It will be a battle, and I can't wait to see it. Bradley SD -- Stephanie Trapp, Trappfotos.com
Pacman moved up to a weight class where within the past 2 years, he has not been able to knock out an opponent. Timmy is younger, and very strong-willed. Two hungry fighters, I do not see a knockout... But I see a close decision for Timothy Bradley. Unless of course that one lucky punch comes. -- boxer Kaliesha West, former world champion
Bradley did not win the first bout. He ought to quit acting like a lout. He's going to get knocked da double OUT. No DOUBT! Da crying bytch is becoming a nagging, delusional crybaby Marquez type. Thanks to God that the Cali Cranium Crusher cannot fight like the un-shot Marquez, or we may have to see a total of four bouts.
Bradley is going get knocked da _____ OUT! For a shrank, somebodee and dey sidekick need to shout. Bradley is going to need to be on suicide watch. Da dude is already bugging. Those that can, better get him some help, and quit nuthugging.
This fight is not gonna be a war. And won't go far.
For four rounds, Da Manny is going to whup da heck outta Big Foot, and then stop him in the fifth. And that is no monkey jive. Da delusional jivesucka Big Foot is going down in five. Bradley is going to look like he has been stunt by 100-million bees from a Eight-thousand-and-one P-Islands' beehives.
Worldwide this bout will be one of the more live-seen fights since the "Rumble in Jungle." Holla!
Mcgrain is insane in the membrane . Bad decisions ,corrupt judges,sneaky trainers ,and promoters that lurk in the shadows are all part of the game called boxing. It will never be perfect and what fun would that be. Mcgrain should take his toys and go play in another sandbox. I have never seen a prediction from a so called professional writer like this. Boxing.com should have a talk with him that goes something like this " there's the door . You're fired" or to be nice, " it's not you ,it's us. Sorry. Going forward we are not a good fit" or the way I would say it , " don't bite the hand that feeds you moron. Get the f out of here before I meet you in the parking lot" he basically called all boxing writers losers. No credentials for him, no comps, no drinks or chit chat at the bar.
Bradley is a flawed fighter with heart and will. Technically he's sound but not on the same planet as Mayweather. A fight between those two is a mismatch,
with Mayweather dominating. The only thing Bradley has going for him is he's catching Pac and Money in their boxing twiight. The difference in Pac this time
is renewed desire and motivation, plus still enough skill to handle Bradley. We still have our doubts with Bradley at this level, Marquez is shot so I'm not
even considering that as a good performance from Bradley. Pac in a spirited unanimous decision this time.
Boxing.com has a lot to recommend it, in spite of Matt McGrain. He thinks he's special, but he's nothing but a gasbag.
Everyone thinks Tim has improved since the first Pac fight...How so?
by being concussed twice and getting a gift decision over the Russian which he actually lost?
or by barely, barely beating an old and slow and NON roided JMM???
Pac looked very good against Rios who is a hard thudding puncher, peppering the **** out of him for 12 rounds....In that fight Pacs balance and footwork was much better, smoother and coordinated to where against Tim he was all over the place.
Pac will be more fluid, smooth and sit down a bit on his punches and I am with RG, a mid fight stoppage as the ref jumps in and stops Tim from getting hammered on the ropes half out concussed.
And BTW, Tim looked like a fucking CLOWN wearing his hat like that during the NBA interview...
that alone shows the dude has NO sense....I am all for style and my 13 year olds wear their hats correctly, not like Tim did. What a fool.
no sense means no adjustments, Tim will try to run and be down 4 rounds to none early
Tim gets less likeable every day. He's not on Manny or Floyd's level, nowhere near. I'm praying Manny has enough left to put him back in touch with reality as to his standing in boxing versus the elites.
First of all, I have to laugh at the pomposity & righteousness of Matt McGrain. He's not making a pick & not watching the fight because he feels fight fans were robbed in the first Pacquiao-Bradley fight. Is he for real? Taking that ridiculous logic, I am done watching Baseball because one of my favorite players--David Wright--was called out at first after clearly beating out a grounder to third. How dare those umpires. I will show them! No more baseball for me! Yeh, right! There is no way McGrain is not watching the fight. He will be watching it, just like all of us will be watching it, too.
As for the fight McGrain will certainly be watching, Manny Pacquiao will be too much for Timothy Bradley in every department. Last time, he did not fight for three minutes per round. Tonight he will. He will set a very fast pace, one which will for Bradley into making mistakes. Juan Manuel Marquez hit Bradley. Ruslan Provodnikov did, too. If they coould hit him with regularity, so can a much faster, more accurate Manny Pacquiao.
Pacquiao will break Bradley down. Pay attention to those right hooks to the body. If Pac doesn't stop Bradley late, he will win a comfortable decision, taking perhaps eight of the rounds. Amd don't worry about the scoring. C.J. Ross and Duane Ford are not judging tonight.
-Randy G.
I Think Bradley will do a lot better than most give him credit for.
He really did twist his ankle/foot in the first fight and speaking from experience that really hurts and blows your gameplan.
Fighters are expected to fight hurt. It is called the hurt business. Any unhurt Bradley is going to get kayoed. Holla!
I think all these guys already know Bradley chances to get the W this time are very slim. If it's close (which I doubt) he won't get the decision, and he will not get the benefit of the doubt he got in the Rus fight, if he gets hurt like that tonight the fight will be stopped! and I highly doubt he can stop Pac.
My recollection of the first fight was a comfortable victory for a semi-motivated Pac. As soon as Bradley tasted a bit of Pac's power, he seemed to be in safety-first mode thereafter. I see nothing that says things will be different this time around. Pac by decision.
@deep. How? How do 'the incompetents' get handed a crayon by other incompetents, with both groups of incompetents getting paid for it, and get to destroy fighters' careers; then babble something incoherent about "Remember, it's subjective!" It's not all that subjective. Not really. Scary thing is, some of these judges truly have no idea what her job encompasses. (Yeah, in the olden days you had to use the masculine form, but now, more and more, because of equality purposes, they are using "her". Well, it's really applicable in this case, so let's use it.) As far as this boxing expert that you referenced, does he believe that Tim doesn't deserve a fight against Pac after his last two outings? What if this would have been the first time they were meeting? Then would it have been okay? The best should fight the best, and often... like in the good ole days.
@New York Tony. Boxing.com does a great job.
@Leon30001. Yeah, I'm starting to sense that.
@deep. Another thing. What if this fight ends up being the fight of the year. Does it still not count?
One definition of an expert is someone widely recognized as a reliable source of technique or skill whose faculty for judging or deciding rightly, justly, or wisely is accorded authority and status by their peers or the public in a specific well-distinguished domain. An expert, more generally, is a person with extensive knowledge or ability based on research, experience, or occupation and in a particular area of study.
Trust me, there are not too many boxing experts out there. I know, I've looked. There have been so many less than knowledgable wannabes that have dispensed bad advice that later gets taken as gospel, then that gets added to more bad advice, stirred well, and dispensed yet again. Here at TSS, we're doing a slow build of competent knowledge. Policing the maniacs who come in with elbows swinging, screaming as loud as they can possibly type, figuring that way, their (useless) opinion will carry the day. Nope, not here. We'll build it one quality opinion at a time. Watch and see what we build over the next several years.
Pacquiao decision, might be controversial. I think Tim does well tonight.
Manny was the better boxer in the first fight. Manny also has a record of winning rematches (most of the time).
Bradley is better... He's punching straighter and slapping less.
But no amount of wishful thinking can convince me to believe Bradley has the chin necessary to survive a series of straight lefts from Manny.
This fight will be won by the boxer with the best mobility, ring generalship, and countering ability.
The way I see it .... Bradley needs to fight at least ten percent above his normal capacity to win it.
It would have to be a very special note.
Y'all ready?
If it isn't clear by now, Floyd would end Manny's life.
I'm telling you man. No triangle theory.
Movement bothers Manny so bad. Movement, defense and Floyd's sharp punches will wound him.
See how stupid macho Bradley wobbled Pac?
Just my opinion, though. That said, after tonight, Manny will resign with Top Rank. They're not going to let that happen.
Another thing: he's not the same without the MannyPak.
I think Shadow may have a point although I don't think Mayweather would kill him.
Manny clearly isn't the same Manny of old in my opinion, although he is still one of the toughest fighters to face out there, just not on the same pinnacle.
Bradley was looking for a knock out with a big looping right a lá marquez... If that's what him and diaz were banking on it was very poor tactically.
Time to make my way home.. 6:30 am here in the UK. Looking forward to some nice discussion tomorrow lads!
I agree Doc. Floyd is in much better nick unsurprisingly. The wild card training regime, the number of times he's been sparked and age are starting to creep in on Pacquiao.. 2 more years at the most for him left at the top or in the sport general.
Things happen a 33 year old Floyd got staggered by a 38 year old half himself shane mosley
a 30 year old prime floyd got knocked down and blown out the first four rounds against the a.d.d Zab
a younger and more prime Floyd got put on queer street by a C level fighter in chop chop...
a 25 year old PRime floyd really lost the first Louis Castillo fight...
my point is floyd is great and at 37 he is much more vulnerable and static and less offensive, against a 35
year old Pac, who isnt 25 either, but has great hand speed and power, plus is a southie, things happen...
it would be a close fight no matter which way it would go....
Before it, Amayseng, all we have is opinions and guesses, ergo none of us are right. Or wrong.
That's the beauty of it.
Based on what I see, however, I am 100% convinced and would bet BIG money (for me, anyway) on that outcome.
I can almost guarantee that there's a greater chance of a Pacquiao fatality than a Mayweather defeat.
You make a valid point and I somewhat disagree with your takes on those Floyd matchups.
While he got hit, yes, Chop chop lost every round. He did not get blown out at all vs Judah, I think that's a narrative that's been overblown too much. That was a dominant performance.
Floyd is so dominant that when he doesn't blow someone out, it tends to be viewed as him losing. (I think Judah's best moment in that fight was a body shot on the inside in the middle rounds.)
Don't think he lost to Castillo either. And Mosley had HUGE power and faster hands than Floyd.
Boxing scoring is subjective, though, so we can see different things.
Nevertheless, Floyd has improved significantly since.
And what we can agree on this: styles make fights, like you said.
And IMO, Manny is tailor made for Floyd.
@Doc and Skibbz, the reason I favor Floyd is because Tim's amd JMM's movement confused Pac.
In round 11, Bradley was hurt so bad. All he did was jab and circle left. Nullified everything Pac did.
He also showed vulnerability to a right hand. Bradley is not as sharp nor as accurate a puncher as Floyd.
Those wild right hands wouldn't be flying all over the place. They'd be landing like lasers.
The way I see it, everything Bradley does that troubles Pac, Floyd does better -- and then some.
In addition, his same power, the x-factor, isn't there anymore, for whatever reason.
I'm willing to bet $1000 plus the bonus of me running down Ocean Drive in my underwear screaming Hakuna Matata that it won't be close.
I think Mosley and Maidana are bigger punchers at this stage.
Part of me wants to see the fight, as well as Pac vs Ortiz, Huerrero, D. Garcia and others.
But from a biz perspective, I think he's better off being the top dog on hbo fighting the likes of Alvarado and passing the torch to M. Garcia.
I just saw the highlights. I freakin' LOVE Manny Pacquiao!!
What's interesting is this: Looks like the same awesomd athlete to me.
He's been diminished, perception wise, by poor matchmaking.
Or you can say the perception has taken a more realistic turn.
He's not as great as they said when they were going overboard with the hyperbole but he's FAR from shot!
Keep him away from spoilers.
Feed him some more creatine, amino acids and whatever else.
Feed him Provodnikov.
Do those three things and he will be No. 2 P4P again.
Especially since Andre Ward isn't fighting.
But really, like Brother Nazeem says, if you don't like Manny you don't like boxing.
I like how he's mixing in some intelligence with his Taxmanian Devil game.
What an awesome fighter. So fun to watch. Watching him is like watching Allen Iverson in 20001.
Bottomline , Money May is as smart as the late greats Jack Johnson and Sugar Ray Robinson, he let fans, fanfaronades and fanboys holla for him while he cowards and ducks, as he knows and accepts what Da Manny will likely do to him. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

The man boasts the highest smile-to-KO ratio in boxing history, but nobody, if they weren't aware of the most well known athlete in the history of Kazahkstan, and they didn't know he had 26 KOs in his 29 wins as a pro, would have thought Gennady Golovkin had anything but business on his mind at Madison Square Garden on Friday afternoon.
After making weight (159.8), the best middleweight in the world until proven otherwise rushed past me, looking to do a TV interview, and in fact, then surprised some of his fans, who'd become used to his genial manner and ultra-cordiality, as they waited for him to exit MSG. Golovkin, age 32, looked stoic, ready to rock and rumble, and make Daniel Geale (30-2 with 16 KOs; ex middleweight tilist) the 17th man in a row to fall before the final bell, as he hurried past the well wishers, and into a car to take him to his hotel.
The principals are pictured above, in HBO/Will Hart photo.
Yes, no one should confuse themselves, think that this Bieber-faced banger isn't what he is; a resolute predator, who intends to separate a foe from his faculties with almost every punch he wings. There is a time and place for smiling, but the ring isn't it, and this guy can get into snarly game face mode, with his head screwed on tioght and aimed at a single goal, with the best of 'em.
Geale, who scaled in at 159.2, didn't come to lay down, or make the numbers, as the Brits say. Some close to the boxer will perhaps admit that the odds are not in his favor, that he maybe has a 30-40% chance to hand Triple G his first loss…but his face didn't reveal any knowledge of the long odds against him. He gave as good as he got in the staredown/poseoff at the Garden.
The stakes are some titles, and are more so in clear focus for Golovkin. Should he win, he'd love to meet up back at MSG in December, and wrestle Miguel Cotto, who carries a 160 crown which he mugged off of Sergio Martinez last month. Cotto calls the Garden his boxing home, and Golovkin and company would like nothing more to lay some leather on the Puerto Rican, and in rude and violent fashion show him otherwise. Cotto holds his promotional cards in his own hands, and isn't one of these "Let me see what Al says" guys. He will shop around and make the best deal for himself, for money and whatever other reasons he sees fit. If that means a fight with canelo, he will make that happen with Golden Boy...
Team Golovkin spits at the concept of a fight with 168 pound ace Andre Ward, noting that Ward seems more preoccupied with dealing with lawyers and promotional entanglements than setting up fights. To talk Ward is a waste of time, they think.
And no one knows which way the Cotto wind blows. The so-savvy Puerto Rican hasn't tipped his hand, even to trainer Freddie Roach, on what he might like to do next. Roach might be able to help clarify that next path in the arc, as he will be front row at MSG, scouting Golovkin. He is in town to corner Glen Tapia, but The Jersey Boy's fight was scratched, as a red flag came up in his blood work, so his scrap was cancelled. The blood issue is not an issue at all, Tapia told TSS, and he shrugged it off as part of the game. Roach, though, will make the most of his time, he stated, and see up close if the talents of Golovkin match the hype.
What say you, fight fans. What happens in Golovkin-Geale? Fire your preds, here and now.

Maybe sales will pick up on fight night.
Fair point D2. If GGG fights in Europe again I will be going, unless he decides to make the Gardens is new home then I guess i'll have to hop the pond for a big fight. Geale is in for some seriously hard leather and I think he knows it. Can't wait.
It's no surprise that ticket sales have been sluggish. An Australian vs. a guy from Kazakhstan doesn't tap into the tribal loyalties that have propelled boxing throughout its history. Moreover, the odds are lopsided in favor of GGG.
Oubabcat passes along useful information when he mentions that Perez weighed in at 242, a "compact" 242 as one report has it. Looking at his record I noticed an oddity. Two of his wins occurred on the same date. Yes, he appeared in two different bouts on the same show. We don't see that much around these parts anymore.
Danny jacobs? sell out? Whuts he gonna do give his review on Beyoneces latest recording? may i ssk what distinguishes danny jacobs as a fighter and boxing personality that he scores?
Michael Woods joined Gerry Cooney & me on our SiriusXM show last night and talked about the weigh-in...how GGG was not his usual, smiling self...how he blew off several reporters whom he had promised interviews to...and how he looked tighter than anybody remembers seeing him.
I suppose it had to happen eventually. That always shining, smiling, jovial face of GGG has turned sullen and serious. I can't blame him. It's hours before the fight. In MSG. On HBO. Against perhaps the best opponent he has ever been in with. Talks of future mega-fights are swirling around. Cotto. Chavez. Alvarez. Ward. $$$May.
How could he NOT be serious?
At the bell, GGG will have his fight face on--and take care of business. He will methodically stalk Geale and begin to break him down. I expect it'll take time and rounds, but Geale will not be able to withstand the assault, and crumble by the 10th round.
After the victory, GGG's smile will return, along with his jovial demeanor.
Until then, he's all business.
-Randy G.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

For the second year in a row the Charmcity Skatepark from Baltimore, Maryland has won the AM Invitational portion of Alli Sport's Dew Tour. This was the 10 Year Anniversary of the Dew Tour and they had chosen to once again visit the East Coast with a stop in beautiful beach town Ocean City, Maryland. This was the second year they held the AM Invitational Shop contest event during the Dew Tour. Both years have been sponsored by ION Cameras. ION provided prizing for the event. The winning shop team received a $500 check for the shop and a camera for each of the riders on the 18 and up 3 man crew which represented their shop.
This year Ocean City locals Dimensions and Get Gnarly were there to hold it down for OC. Palace 5 showed up to represent DC. The Charmcity Skatepark crew, last years champs from Baltimore had returned to rep Charmcity. The set up was definitely tighter this year. It had a much better flow then last year.Not only was the set up better but it seemed to be constructed better. This certainly helped the riders. The talent pool was off the charts this year. Stereo Skateboard's Yoshi Tanebaum was there destroying the rail and the steps with consistency and style. Matt Bullinger threw down hard, getting technical on the rail. He took a couple of hard slams and got right back up. That's always commendable. Dudes got heart! Everyone was skating really well but as the MC let everyone know Charmcity's Tyrone Henderson was in the zone.The MC's phrase of the day "The Tyrone Zone". The crowd was feeling it too. They loved Tyrone. His constant pounding of the course with trick after trick along with great performances from team mates Johnny McGuigan and Kadian Maxwell helped the Charmcity Skatepark secure another victory at the Dew Tour AM Invitational 2014.
"I was so proud of the crew. They really had stiff competition this year. Everyone was so good!" - Jason Chapman Owner the Charmcity Skatepark
"I was just trying to cruise around and have fun! I was just getting hyped off everyone's skating! - Tyrone Henderson team rider The Charmcity Skatepark

(i.e A Wi-Fi Connection to be known as stable should at least have 85% Signal Strength.) If you are disconnected, no matter what reason, your results will not be counted towards the tournament.
3. We have absolutely zero tolerence for hacked Pokémon. Hacks are not just limited to Pokémon with illegal movesets (Ice Punch + Dragon Dance Feraligatr, Prankster Illumise with Spore) or illegal abilities (Wonder Guard Sableye, or unreleased hidden abilites). This rule also goes toward Pokémon with an illegal shiny form (shiny Rain Dish Blastoise) and Pokémon caught in illegal balls.

If any of these are encountered within the Tournament, then the user of the Pokemon will be expelled from the next 2 Tournaments.
4. Before entering, the Tournament, do not reveal/post ANYTHING Team Related. If you do post something that is Team Related, then you will be expelled from the Tournament. You are welcome participate in the next one if this rule is broken. Also, you can only post something Team Related if it's not team or team(s) that you will be using for the Battle Tournament.
Failure to comply to these rules will result in a strike.
If you feel your opponent is violating any rules, PM Ducklett12, and he will contact said member regarding the problem/situation.
If you have violated a rule, Ducklett12 will PM you about the violation, and you will be given the opportunity to ask how you violated a rule. If you think his decision is unfair, you may then take the decision to Dylan18.

Participants will have until 12:00 Midnight on Saturday of the same week to complete their battle and send the results to Ducklett12. Failure to submit results by this time will result in both players being eliminated from the tournament.
When a battle is complete, one of the players must record a battle video of it and PM Ducklett12 the results along with the battle video number. If a Battle Video is not provided then the results of the battle will not be put toward the Tournament.
If anyone has any further questions, you can contact Ducklett12 via PM. Sign-ups will only be accepted inside Clan Omega.
If your sign application is accidentally missed then please post it again. Do not post it more then 2 times! If you have posted it more then 2 Times and it still was not accepted, please PM Ducklett12 your Sign Up Application.

National Post ·
Each episode of Treme, the audacious HBO television epic on the post-Katrina fate of New Orleans, begins with a bright, bouncy theme song:
Down in the Treme is me and my baby we're all going crazy While jumpin' and havin' fun!
It's a pleasant ditty but an oddly perverse introduction to an urban saga that deals with loss and longing far more often than jumpin' and havin' fun.
Admittedly, the local passions of New Orleans are music, food and parades. They get their due in Treme, named for a much-loved, historic but unfashionable district (pronounced Trem-ay). But nothing stops New Orleans from celebrating itself. It never forgets for a minute that it's the seedbed of jazz and therefore the site of a central event in American culture.
Even so, Treme the series springs from the greatest calamity in local history, the breaching in 2006 of the levees under hurricane pressure that suddenly made much of the city uninhabitable. Sadly, the program appears in the shadow of another disaster, the failed oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico that threatens to poison the water and the land of the Louisiana coast.
To all that followed Katrina, David Simon brings the same bold but thoughtful approach that he developed when dealing with Baltimore's downfall in The Wire, which ran for 60 episodes from 2002 to 2008. But he and his co-producer Eric Overmyer, along with a platoon of first-class writers and directors, take a different approach in Treme.
Having now seen seven of the 10 episodes in the first season (a second season will be shot in the autumn), the audience has had a chance to realize that we are watching a revolutionary kind of television.
First, Treme takes a radical approach to music. It doesn't just introduce the dialogue and provide background texture. Several characters are musicians, and we hear them play at some length. The producers take the music as seriously as the musicians do, something new in television drama.
The treatment of character is even more original. Seven major characters, and about a dozen at a secondary level, stay with us from week to week. They don't appear and reappear, in TV's usual style. A character gets more time in one show than in another but never vanishes.
This novelistic storytelling requires prodigious effort but the results justify all the planning and scheming that must have been involved. The term "ensemble," spoken often about acting, acquires fresh meaning.
A third innovation amounts to a still bigger risk: The scripts are measured, sometimes even leisurely.
There are few obvious climaxes. Characters reveal themselves without haste; plots unfold gradually, rarely in obvious ways. Not everyone is happy with this format. On the blogs where Treme is obsessively discussed, some viewers call the style self-indulgent.
"What an abysmal series," one viewer wrote. "Is there a plot lurking somewhere?" But there were people who didn't see much virtue in The Wire at the beginning. Treme is slowly proving itself.
Simon and his colleagues make their style work by braiding together the various plot lines and having the characters interact. In this week's program, seven different stories were given almost equal emphasis.
-Albert Lambreaux (Clarke Peters, the shrewd Lester in The Wire) plays bass and builds houses but passionately commits himself to being chief of a tribe of Mardi Gras Indians, who every year make flamboyant feather-and-spangle costumes to wear in the parade. He's furiously intent on reassembling the scattered fragments of his tribe, a solemn moral responsibility for him. He's equally desperate to revive New Orleans. He gets arrested reopening public housing the federal government has closed down.
-Creighton Bernette (John Goodman), a Tulane English professor, delivers angry You-Tube editorials on the incompetence behind the disaster ( "The flooding of New Orleans was a man-made catastrophe, a federal f--k-up of epic proportions and decades in the making").
YouTube makes him a star, even up in New York. Random House now wants the historical novel he's working on to include Katrina. So the hurricane, having pretty well destroyed his city, may revive his career, or perhaps sink it.
-Toni Bernette (Melissa Leo), the professor's wife, is a civil rights lawyer, searching for a young man who vanished into the jail system after being arrested during the storm; it takes seven episodes before his fate becomes known.
-Annie, a violinist busking for change in the streets (Lucia Micarelli, who has a notable career in both classical and pop music) demonstrates a wonderful talent. Sadly, her jealous boyfriend is an inadequate musician who turns violent when coked up.
-Antoine Batiste (Wendell Pierce, who played Bunk in The Wire), a trombone player, reveals himself as a drunk, a serial adulterer and a runaway dad. Still, he never gives up on his music, his fellow musicians --or New Orleans.
-Janette Desautel (Kim Dickens), a talented and much-admired chef, has to close her restaurant because paying for damages from Katrina destroyed her credit and her insurance money hadn't arrived. When it did come she said, "Too little, too late."
-Davis McAlary (Steve Zahn) is a loser and whiner, a sometime disc jockey who can't keep a job but believes in his city and his music. He was named after Jefferson Davis, the head of the Confederacy, an expression of his mother's brainless racism. He decides to run for city council to expose corruption. He falls deeply in love with his own face on television.
The characters share an intransigent commitment to the future of New Orleans. They know it's decadent but they can't imagine living elsewhere. Each of them believes in the authentic New Orleans though each has a different notion about what that means.
In one scene a discussion of tradition leads far away from New Orleans, north to a famous 1953 concert in Toronto. Delmond Lambreaux, a talented young trumpet player and the son of the Mardi Gras Indian chief, is discussing tradition. A friend says that New Orleans music encompasses "many styles, many traditions." But Delmond, who has been playing in other cities and worshipping other gods, says: "Yeah, but for me traditional is Bird and Diz playing Salt Peanuts at Massey Hall, with Bud Powell and Max Roach." Which proves that Treme, like New Orleans itself, can reach out to find inspiration in even the most distant and exotic places.
- Treme airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on HBO Canada.

To resupply a space station, for example, the best solution appeared to be to launch the ferry rocket into an adjacent orbit. A minimum amount of fuel would then be needed to inject the ferry rocket into the same orbital plane as the space station. Attention was also focused on the wait time before a rendezvous launch.
If launch were made into the correct orbital plane, with subsequent lead or lag correction, wait periods of many days would be necessary, but if launch were made into an incorrect orbital plane with a later plane correction, wait periods of only a day or two would be feasible.

Neighborhood Stabilization and Safety in East North Philadelphia, 1998 - 2010
The University of Pennsylvania's Fels Institute of Government has issued a second report in its series on how public investment guided by strategic planning can revitalize abandoned and disinvested communities.
Neighborhood Stabilization and Safety in East North Philadelphia, 1998-2010 provides evidence of improving social outcomes for a section of North Philadelphia that lies east of the Temple University main campus. During the past decade, one of Philadelphia's leading community development corporations, Asociación Puertorriqueños en Marcha, the Association of Puerto Ricans on the March, or APM, has developed hundreds of well-designed sales and rental housing units and a new supermarket on formerly vacant parcels within the area. A greening program undertaken in coordination with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, PHS, has also brought well-tended grass and trees to once-neglected lots. [See earlier report: Vacant Property Reclamation through Strategic Investment.]
This newest report acknowledges that these "bricks and mortar" improvements, by themselves, are not sufficient to bring about the revitalization of economically disinvested communities, and compiles evidence of improving social outcomes in the APM area. According to research compiled by the Fels Institute, serious crimes here have declined an average of 5.7% per year, the flood of residents leaving the area has ceased, and the neighborhood has begun to attract working families.
"Physical development must be accompanied by human capital development—that combination of education, training, and health and human services support, accessible in a safe environment, that provides neighborhood residents with the best prospects for moving out of poverty and into the middle class" Fels Institute Senior Consultant John Kromer, who organized and supervised the research project, in coordination with APM staff, said. The project was funded through a grant from the William Penn Foundation.

Plan Philly has published an excellent multimedia series on the transformation of the APM area, available at Desolate to Dynamic: the planning, patience & politics that made it possible to reclaim an abandoned North Philadelphia neighborhood.Related News:

I have been contemplating new ink for quite some time. I knew what and where I wanted it, but just needed to sit and ponder to make sure. And while I loved the idea, Hubby was not overly keen on the placement thus, more pondering.
Then, through the eye crack that is Pinterest, I found what I really longed for – white ink. Subtle yet there. Hubby loves it! Maybe even some day I'll share the story.
A BIG thanks to Matt for the title of my post. If you love wine, heck, even if you just remotely like it – he's the guy for you!
So what did YOU view this Monday??

Since joining SL in 2006 (oh gosh I'm old) I always had different moods dictating my look. I've been dark/gothic, vampire, cyborg, covered in weapons, covered in tattoo... I've been teenage-looking, femme fatale, geek, hipster, fashionista, skinny, curvy, tall, short, blonde, brunette yet mainly redhead for most of my SLife.
These days, and to my own surprise, I feel like going back in time to my tattoo and black clothing period, only with a more feminine and dorky side, instead of dressing in leather from head to toes like I did during my last tattoo & black mood back in 2008.

The show "Hannibal" has fans tuning in as they watch the cast of characters reveal their true colors. One of the most popular shows on NBC, the series is fun and a bit frightful! This is the spoiler for "Hassun" episode airing on Friday, March 14 and viewers should turn away now if they don't want to know the details. According to the Los Angeles Times on Thursday, it is people closest to Will (played by Hugh Dancy) who must take sides as his trial begins on "Hannibal."
Deciding who to support isn't easy for Jack (played by Laurence Fishburne) and the idea quickly becomes complicated. The hope to back him without strings is impossible because of already in trouble because of Alana's (Caroline Dhavernas) damning report about his conduct. He acknowledges that he may be partially to blame for pushing his student past the edge.
Added confusion to a suspenseful trial, has a court bailiff is killed in the same manner and those closest to Will start to wonder if they were inaccurate about the situation. The outcome of the entire trial hangs in the balance as one last key victim is served up.
"Hannibal" offers up another suspenseful episode on NBC. Watch the "Hassun" episode on Friday night at 10 p.m. ET.
