Curse this insatiable weakness of us*
Close where all severs aside
Douse our sensations
As deep as they are
Born in the blink of an eye
Born in the blink of an eye
Love deviates from the plans that we're on
Flinging us soft to the side
Find ourself broken
And all friends are gone
Caught in the blink of an eye
Caught in the blink of an eye

With Endeavour Pilot Paul Lockhart choreographing the spacewalk from inside Endeavour, Chang-Díaz and Perrin stepped outside the station's Quest airlock at 10:16 a.m. Central time. Commander Ken Cockrell used the shuttle's robotic arm to provide television views of the spacewalk activity.
Chang-Díaz and Perrin first removed the arm's latching end effector, essentially the hand of Canadarm2, and attached it to a handrail on the station's Destiny Laboratory. Next they released six bolts connecting the wrist roll joint to the adjoining yaw joint and an additional bolt connecting power, data and video umbilicals. Perrin carried the failed unit to Endeavour's payload bay where it was temporarily stored near the new joint.
Perrin released six fasteners to remove the new joint from its launch carrier in the shuttle cargo bay and brought it up to Canadarm2 where Chang-Díaz was positioned. After aligning the new component with the wrist yaw joint at the end of the arm, the duo tightened the six bolts to secure the new joint to the arm and turned the final bolt to connect the power, data and video lines. After they reinstalled the latching end effector, power was turned back on to Canadarm2. The failed joint was then placed in a flight support structure in the cargo bay for return to Earth.
Working at the robotics workstation inside the Destiny Laboratory, Endeavour Astronaut Dan Bursch and Expedition Five Commander Valery Korzun conducted a checkout of the health of the arm once the new joint was installed. At 3:43 p.m. Central time, the arm returned to full operational status.
Following an inventory of the tools they used during the spacewalk, Perrin and Chang-Díaz re-entered Quest. Airlock repressurization began at 5:33 p.m. Central time, signaling the end of the spacewalk. It was the 41st spacewalk in support of ISS assembly and maintenance and the third of the mission, bringing the total spacewalking time for STS-111 to 19 hours and 31 minutes.

Demons appear to have disturbed the peace of a small house on Carolina Street in the northern Indiana city of Gary.
Latoya Ammons' claims of her and her children's—then ages 7, 9, and 12—experiences of "strange" happenings and consequent possession in 2012 has ignited a media frenzy. Media outlets across the United States and more than a dozen countries have fallen over themselves requesting interviews with not only Ammons, but others mentioned in the Indianapolis Star newspaper Sunday edition that broke on January 26, 2014.
Ammons claims she felt she had been living in a real life horror movie…only there was no director to cry "Cut!"
Gary Police Captain Charles Austin—involved in the investigation from the start—said he expected there would be some notoriety, and figured that eventually a movie deal would come out of it. Quite perceptive! Austin, initially a skeptic but quickly a convert to the supernatural shenanigans of spiritual warfare and dripping clear oil, has himself been contacted by media sources from twenty plus countries, including Australia, France, and the United Kingdom.
Ryan A, internet commenter, offers; "I believe Ammons' story, they should make a movie on it…maybe it'll open some eyes…."
Well Ryan…that's just down the road, my friend. Be patient and wait for the magic!
There is "evidence" that would appear to give a degree of credibility to the Gary claims; at least until it is examined a little more closely. A police report—an Intake Officer's Report Of Preliminary Inquiry And Investigation—has surfaced and making the rounds across the internet. And it looks official enough from a layman's point of view…complete with blacked-out names to protect the client's privacy. Exciting stuff…at least at first glance, but readers have commented on the validity of the document:
Kenny Biddle states: "This is ALLEGEDLY the police report filed for the "200 Demon House. I have no confirmation on this yet, but it's out there making the rounds. I could only make it through about half…."
H. Kevin Derr comments: "It seems strange to me with current HIPPA regulations that an intake document would be accessible." And adds: "Anytime you have medical opinions and reports, these are often highly private and protected information. At one point when the HIPPA regulations were first enforced some hospitals wouldn't even confirm if a person was a patient."
Finally, Evelyn Rake adds a more professional perspective: "I have been involved as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) for children in another country and have dealt with CHINS (Children in Need of Services) cases as this [Ammons' children] was supposedly assigned. First, we would never be able to provide this information-with or without the children's names blacked out-to anyone outside the court system. The same laws of privacy apply to all involved. Most, specifically, where the children were placed. The mother (or guardian) would have to release it. Second, the paperwork appears to be a cut and paste of several forms and reports. We are governed by the state and I can't imagine the processes would be so much different between countries. I emailed this to one of our court officers and this was her opinion as well. Seems mighty hokey…."
Then there's the "Photo"…reportedly from a police officer's camera that shows a misty figure in the right (facing the house) center window of the screened-in porch; spooky…yes, explainable…also yes.
Mick West offers his opinion: "Obviously, it could be faked, and indeed there's an Android app for that—Ghost Camera. You'll notice it looks a lot less human than at first glance. More like ET. This could just be some distortion from compression. Or it might even be a totally different method of faking. But the image is attributed to the police. Would the police fake a photo? It's possible, however I think a more likely explanation is just normal pareidolia."
Or matrixing (your brain making something out of nothing).
Mick continues: "I think it's also very possible that the 'ghost' is just a reflection of the tree-or rather the brick wall opposite the house through the gaps in the tree….Faked image, or accidental image? The point is there are very sensible explanations available for this image, and just because we don't know 100% which it is, we don't need to jump to 'ghosts'.
Commenting on the photo, JeffreyNotGeoffrey writes: "It always annoys me and boggles my mind when people wish to jump to the most extraordinary conclusions when more mundane and run-of-the-mill ones will suffice. I think it's just people really eager to prove the supernatural. Since they have blinders on, they don't want to take a step back to figure out a less sensationalist explanation."
Jane says: "When I first read this, I thought—how can you argue with that? But I looked at the photograph on the Daily Mail's website and it's unconvincing. The photograph seems to be a reflection in the window (the whole group of front windows is reflecting what's in front of them-the tree in the front yard and other things off camera that we can't see)."
A photograph also making the rounds on the internet depicts a line of ghostly specters in each window of the screened porch. It's a joke folks…someone is making a very valid point of just what a ghost photo app is capable of. Compare this photo to the alleged single ghostly figure. Very similar….
During a tour of policemen through the home, a video camera's audio caught a purported "Hey." Doesn't sound like the gibberish of a demonic entity?
Jane writes: "It's unconvincing. The recording sounds like the camera (they can be heard operating some device that sounds like a camera) or a human voice, or a combination. The weakness of this evidence makes me skeptical about the reliability of the other evidence."
John Winkle states: "One unintelligible noise does not mean proof. If that's all the evidence they have I would still say—most likely hoax for potential profit. I am already anticipating the movie and book deals to start materializing shortly."
Others claim: "The voice on the video sounded like it was saying 'Dei', not 'Hey.' Dei is a form of the word God in Latin," while another says, "It sounded like it said 'Kane.'
It's a weak audio at best. Many have commented the "voice" is the equipment itself or other cameras. Others felt it sounded much like the video cameraman's voice…either inhaling or exhaling. You be the judge.
An interesting aside to the demonic infestation of the house n Gary, Indiana is that Charles Reed, owner of the rental property for some 33 years, claims that no tenant had trouble there prior to the Ammons family or after.
After the Indianapolis Star story came out, all hell broke loose on Carolina Street. There became a constant surge of media and curious onlookers descending like locusts. The new tenant had to enlist the aid of police to keep the mob at bay. They also declined offers of money and interview requests. Everyone wanted a piece of the portal to hell.
Things had to change….They did!
Four days after the Star newspaper story surfaced the home was purchased for $35,000—and none other than by Zak Bagans, host and Executive Director for Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures. Rumors were hot and heavy on the Facebook site before it became official. Finally, friend and sometimes collaborator with Zak, Bishop James Long, stated; "I have spoken with Zak and I can confirm he has purchased the home and plans to do a documentary on it."
This would turn out to be the additional chunks of wood that would keep the fire burning hot and steady!
"If it's true this home is a portal to hell, then I want to go there and see what happens," Bagans told TMZ.
Bagans claims he will live there (a resident of a lower income neighborhood in Gary, Indiana?) and document his experience; to experience demons first hand. "I really have a passion for this stuff and the research aspect," he says.
Opinions have been fast and furious:
Chris Howard states bluntly: " As cynical as this sounds, it's a money mill. If any future options materialize for a movie, he's in. He can milk this thing for decades. Book deals, merchandising, charging other investigators to verify his findings. Do they have demon tourism?"
Another internet commentator adds: "Oh, that Zak Bagans! He constantly amazes me with his dumbass life choices."
While another offers: "Ghost Adventures host Zak Bagans has taken on his most terrifying project yet—he just bought a house in Indiana."
My immediate reaction to Zak now being an Indiana neighbor—other than the motivation to write this series—was to rip large strands of hair from my head. The house, from all current reports, is now quiet, inactive and demon free. Just what are you going to get out of it then, Zak? No exorcisms were performed in the home…rather the St. Stephen, Martyr Parish in Merrillville, Indiana. The child walking backwards up a wall did not happen in the home, but rather in a hospital. And…if the stories actually turn out to have been true, are you idiot enough to go in and stir up dormant demonic activity again? They're going to love you in the neighborhood, Zak!
Well, Bagans after all is the executive producer of a television series geared to fuel an interest in the paranormal. It does make a strange sort of sense. And frankly—through the nuts and bolts of it all—he enjoys the exposure.
Danielle Pitcher-Garrison states: "There are literally hundreds of thousands of homes for sale in Gary. Empty houses, not making any money, claim demons and in 3 days the house is SOLD"
spookyparadigm offers: "There is obviously a market in America for selling fear to a subculture that believes it is under assault by demonic forces, sometimes metaphorical, sometimes literal."
idoubtit says: "I don't believe Zak is 'in it for the money', as such. I think he likes what he does and sees opportunity in this niche. Yeah, nothing wrong with that except—he is a spokesperson to the public that paranormal activity is ghost or demons or whatever, and the evidence for those conclusions are POOR. VERY VERY VERY POOR. If you are going to attempt to overturn some established natural laws, you had BETTER have something better than stories and fakey pictures. And that is ALL we have—perceptions, interpretations, hoaxes, and far more questions than facts….This story does not deserve the serious attention it is getting."
Sharon Hill of Doubtful News writes: "Dear Zak…at least a few skeptics have suggested you take them with you on your investigation of the 'portal to hell'. Are you so confident in your beliefs that you will attempt to convince more critical thinkers of the reality of these claims?"
Angela has her moment: "My rant stems from people who hold positions that by their very nature are supposed to only look at facts—and they're going along with this. Zak buys a ramshackle house in Indiana and turning it into one of his showcases for BS is par for the course. I find it funny in some ways, but that nagging thing of 'credible witnesses back this up' argument that people are using is grinding my gears!"
Finally, the never shy Kenny Biddle reacts upon watching Zak Bagans during an interview about the purchase of the Gary home: "I really can't describe how silly I find this. Hearing this guy talk about 'biblical' and how 'people could die' makes me both shake my head in disgust AND laugh at the ignorance and utter BS that vomits from his mouth. I have never seen one shred of decent investigative work from this guy, or anything that would be remotely considered as evidence of paranormal. Critical thinking simply does not exist here either."
"Here's an open offer to Zak—If you're up for actually having some serious-minded, skeptical critical thinkers with knowledge in such area as, oh I don't know…photography and smart phone apps…as well as those trained in real sciences—I'd be happy to provide a list of qualified individuals. Yes, you can bet your ass I'll be on the list. No charge…cause I never do."
As Zak Bagans places his conductors hat over his head we need to settle in for the ride that is coming. A ride it will be! We also have not heard the last of Latoya Ammons. And Father Michael Maginot…rumor is he's currently involved in negotiations for a movie deal based on the exorcisms and...has signed a contract with Bagans himself to help him with his documentary.
Who would have thunk it?
Sharon Hill of Doubtful News: "If Ammons and her family were suffering from some trauma (real or supernatural), I can't see how this publicity is helpful, and suspect it can only cause more stress and harm. It doesn't seem to be helping to get to the bottom of the story. I'd also bet that this [Bagan's house purchase] gets us no further credible evidence for demons, but does tell us a lot about modern pop culture and personal notoriety."

New Baby Elephant at the Anantara Golden Triangle Resort
Some good news from one of our fave Thai resorts: there's a new addition at the Anantara Elephant Camp. "A 100 kg bundle of joy" to be exact. Baby elephant Nong 'Phil (officially called "Plai Pa Choke," meaning "to bring good luck") was born on May 23, 2010. Congratulations to all the Anantara staff! Overlooking the rugged hills of Laos and Burma in Thailand's mystical Golden Triangle region, the Anantara Resort is famed for its on-site Elephant Camp where pachyderms are rescued and cared for. In fact, the resort's annual King's Cup Elephant Polo Tournament raises money for the Thai Elephant Conservation Center. Guests appreciate the opportunity to learn about these noble creatures almost as much as they appreciate the resort's laid-back luxury surrounded by 160 acres of lush tropical jungle.

For the past 30 plus years we saw it happen quite a bit, a smaller fighter taking on the bigger fighter when he's run out of formidable opposition in his own division. However, it happened even more so circa the turn of the 20th century, up through the 1950s.
When one first hears of a meeting between an outstanding welterweight and middleweight, they're very intrigued. Of course the onus is on the smaller fighter, supposedly, and it's the bigger fighter who is in a no win situation. The challenge is to see if the legitimately smaller fighter can offset the larger man's strength and power, only it seldom if ever works out that way.
For example, Sugar Ray Leonard, who fought a majority of his career as a welterweight (147) gets a lot of credit for beating Marvin Hagler, who fought his entire career as a middleweight (160). In the main that sounds pretty impressive, except when Leonard and Hagler fought, Leonard weighed in at 158 and Hagler was 158 1/2. If it were a true welterweight versus middleweight bout, Leonard would've weighed in at 146, which was his average weight for his welterweight title bouts and Hagler would come in at his usual 158 range. Had Leonard been able to decision Hagler with Marvin holding a 12 pound weight pull, that would've been really something.
Sure, Leonard deserves a ton of credit for beating Hagler because he didn't force him to come down in weight to win his title. He did that when he stopped WBC light heavyweight title holder Donny Lalonde. In reality Leonard beat Lalonde at 168, the super-middleweight limit, not the 175 maximum that Lalonde was afforded as the light heavyweight title holder. In truth Lalonde was compromised having to come in 5/6 pounds lighter than what his best fighting weight was.
Today, the two biggest draws in boxing, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, have won some of their biggest fights via bringing the bigger opponent down a few pounds in order to win his title. In my eyes, this taints their victory, just as I don't consider Sugar Ray Leonard ever being a legitimate light heavyweight title holder. In the last 60 years it's only happened one time, where one champion of a particular division fought a bigger champion for an undisputed title without either fighter moving up or down from their natural weight.
On June 25th 1952, middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson (157.5) fought light heavyweight champion Joey Maxim (173) for Maxim's title. There was no catch-weight clause and Robinson entered the ring as a middleweight and Maxim entered as a full fledged light heavyweight. The fight at Yankee Stadium was originally scheduled for the 23rd of June but was postponed two days because of rain. So the fighters actually had to weigh-in twice with the above being the official weights for both fighters.
The temperature on the night of the fight was 103 degrees and referee Ruby Goldstein had to be replaced by Ray Miller after the 10th round due to being overcome by the heat. After building a commanding lead and controlling the fight due to his speed and terrific combination punching, Robinson told Dr. Alexander Schiff after the 13th round, "I can't get up on my feet, I'm all in."
With that Robinson lost his only bid for the light heavyweight title.
Robinson, fading from the weight he was giving up and the heat, stunned the crowd when the precision puncher missed with a hay-maker right hand and fell flat on his face in the 13th round. After 13 rounds Robinson lead on all three official scorecards (10-3) (9-3-1) and (7-3-3). After the bout Maxim said he had planned to let Ray punch himself out and that Robinson was more undone by his body punching in the second half of the fight and not the extenuating heat and humidity. This was the only time in 200 fights that Robinson was ever stopped. Granted, Joey Maxim wasn't Archie Moore who would relieve Joey of his title six months later. The point is Robinson didn't make Maxim jump through hoops to make the fight. Everyone knows Robinson was a shrewd negotiator and probably wouldn't have challenged Moore if he were the reigning champ at the time. But what if he pulled rank on Maxim and forced him to come in at 168 or 169, it still would've been a light heavyweight title bout?
He still would've been out-weighed by 10 pounds.
On the other hand what would losing those four or five unnecessary pounds have done to Maxim in the 103 degree heat? Would he still have been able to come on in the last three rounds of the fight after getting worked over for a majority of it during rounds one through 10? I doubt it, he would've been drained from having to make the lower weight. Maxim wasn't flashy, but very strong, very durable and very patient. Joey was used to going long in every fight -- exactly the kind of guy you don't want to have to go 15 rounds with in 103 degree heat. Had Robinson forced Maxim to come in so far under the light heavyweight limit, he probably would've won the fight. Had that been the case, Robinson would have officially been the light heavyweight champion of the world. Robinson, despite losing to Maxim, is still the gold standard for all boxers, and the debate really begins with who is number two among the greatest of the great pound-for-pound boxers in history.
The gimmick of catch-weight fights today taints the historical record of many fighters, not all, who've won multiple division titles. Let's see what happens when the lightweight champ enters the ring as a lightweight and challenges the welterweight champ without any gimmicks or stipulations that hamstring the welterweight. Same goes for the welterweight challenging the middleweight and right on up the divisions. And if the smaller fighter feels it's too dangerous or too much to overcome, then he should stay in his own division and build his legacy there.
Wouldn't it be something to see the best welterweight in the world, Floyd Maywether, fight Gennady Golovkin with Floyd weighing in at 147 and Gennady weighing in at 160? How about Golovkin at 160 versus Sergey Kovalev at 175?
Bringing the bigger man down in weight isn't who he is as a fighter. Why taint him for one fight and change history, other than for money and the perceived star to build up his legacy via a gimmick?
Sure, it looks good on paper, but it's tainted and isn't a true indication of the smaller fighter versus the bigger fighter.
Today there's a monetary number that can make the catch-weight fight and the terms with each fighter having a say. The smaller fighter has a say in the weight and the bigger fighter has a say in how much money he needs to compromise himself. Don't get me wrong, fighters have the right to fight at whatever weight they want to. However, it's not an indication of a true confrontation between a bigger fighter and a smaller fighter, such as Robinson-Maxim or the first Louis-Conn fight where the announced weights were Conn 174 1/2 vs. Louis 199, although their actual weight was really 169 and 204. Today it's a myth saying that smaller fighters have feasted on beating bigger fighters. What they've done is compromised the bigger fighter and reduced him to less than he is at the weigh-in, and often times defeated him.
Frank Lotierzo can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com
Love the article. The first sentence of the last paragraph sums it up though. Catch weight fights are usually about the moolah. One of the fighters involved knows before the contract is signed that they will be in for sometimes serious inconvenience but they sign anyway strictly because of the money they stand to make. However, in defense of catchweights, it does sometimes bring about fights that generate alot of buzz and eyes (i.e Cotto v Pacquiao) that may not have happened otherwise.
I also think one of the underrated parts of catch weight fights is the mental aspect. In alot of ways it says to an opponent, I call the shots and you will do things my way. That can motivate some fighters, that can anger some fighters, and even unnerve a few.
Being about the moolah is first and foremost. It is called prizefighting for a reason. Not doing it is not treason. Holla!
Floyd at this age and after his last fight is not gonna step up. Chino roughed him up enough to where Floyd will either call it quits or just take MUCH easier fights. He is 37 and the recovery is becoming more difficult each fight. Can't really blame him as he makes a lot to face lesser opposition.
Frank, that is exactly what Floyd does and has been doing.
Let's look at his past five or so fights.
Against Cotto, who had hydrated to the high 160s, Mayweather weighed 147. Took the bigger man's title. If this were the old days, this would equate to the welterweight taking the light heavyweight title form the bigger man. (No super middleweight weight class in those days.)
Versus De La Hoya, he came into the ring at 148 who came in the ring as a super middleweight as well. Took the bigger man's belt.
Last September with Canelo, repeat. Same thing. Floyd weighed 146 (!) the day of the fight while Canelo came into the ring at least 165 pounds, if not more, since he had time to rehydrate even further after having been weighed.
And for what it's worth, it's the only time Mayweather has perceivably made a guy come "down," which he really didn't. What's been missed in that narrative is that the Canelo side had offered 150 so as a result, they split the difference, allowing Canelo two EXTRA pounds instead of the 150 they had told ESPN they would do for Floyd if he would agree to face them.
Then you had Robert Guerrero, a guy who walks around at over 160 pounds, who was a middleweight on the night of the fight. That was a classic welterweight vs. a middleweight scenario like the one you proposed.
Marcos Maidana, of course, was 165 pounds. Another super middleweight/light heavyweight, according to the day-of-the-fight weight standards, while Floyd was 148.
Victor Ortiz and Carlos Baldomir both were 164 pounds while Floyd was 149 for those two.
For some bizarre reason, people seem to think Floyd started at welterweight. He came out of the Olympics as a featherweight at 126 pounds.
For this reason, I think it's really ludicrous to draw historical similarities between welterweights who challenged for middleweight titles and apply that logic to Mayweather, seeing as the only weight class in which he has fought consecutively and consistently for any sustained period is super featherweight.
(Believe it or not, the most consecutive welterweight fights he's had are four (!).)
Instead of using the Sugar Rays' ascend from welter to middle as a rigid blueprint for Floyd to replicate, consider the facts that Floyd:
A) an ectomorph is maxed out and grossly outweighed at welterweight
B) Ray Leonard went up 24 pounds while Floyd went up 24
C) Ray Robinson went up 26 (Maxim was 173) and came up short, as mentioned in the article
If they could somehow get same-day weigh-ins back -- long overdue -- we could see him challenge for those same titles. And unlike the Sugar Rays, he might actually win it for real.
Come on Shadow, does not matter what Canelo weighed the day of the fight he had to dehydrate down to make the weight.
I think the same thing would have occurred with Floyd boxing his inexperienced ears off, but it is what it is. Canelo has stamina and weight problems, and it was a catch weight.
I am a huge fan of Ward and the same for him fighting a zombie weakened Dawson who looked frail dehydrating down.
Floyd is good enough that he can go up and still make his mark against certain guys.
Some great back and forth on this thread guys keep it up, making for very good reading.
Just to spice things up a little.. I know that fighters don't always fight for money. Yes boxing is a job, and a boxer expects his pay. But the DREAM is to become world champion. Almost every fighter who laces his gloves up for the first time when he is still knee high dreams of being world champ, myself included. To say all that a boxer gets in the ring for is money is a very strange angle to take.
Before the fame, ladies and millions comes glory. You can ask any real champion and they will tell you that. Whether it's the glory of being your local champion, area titlist or world champ, glory is worth more than gold, even to guys who grew up without two pennies to rub together.
A fighter reaches a stage in their career when they mature, and they start to think about life after boxing. You can't find the same glory in life after so you need to make sure your bank balance is healthy by the time you hang them up. Just because you're looking to secure your future (like every other hard working person on the face of the planet) doesn't mean that's all your in it for.
On the topic of Ward. D2 said it in another post well and Shadow mentioned it too on this thread. There are a ton of legitimate fights that can be made so long as Ward wants them to be made. He is sticking to his principles and beliefs which is admirable, but it's having a knock on effect on the memory of the boxing public... which we all know is worse than that of a goldfish. Ward is getting paid. Believe it. He get's paid 7 figures for fights. How much did those two heavyweights get for their scrap for the WBC? Not even close to what Ward makes for stepping in the ring.
Ward needs to pack it up in the court room, head to the gym and start training for a serious fight. His team need to get together 2 or 3 big names and give Ward a big chance to prove he deserves to be one of the most highly paid athletes in the world.
Radammmmm? Play nice!
Don't mind Radam, he just gets a little crazy at times when he doesn't take his meds. And Radam remember, two capsules in the morning when you wake up and one right before bed.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Republican candidate for Governor Kirk Dillard released his proposal, yesterday, on how he would put people to work as well save Illinois citizens money. As part of his Dillards's "Destination Economy" job plan he would reduce the 5 percent state sales tax on gas, while leaving the local government portion undisturbed.
Under his plan he estimates that a typical Illinois family would save nearly $200 a year, approximately $450 million for taxpayer, by cutting the sales tax on gasoline. His plan, which includes a bonding provision, would also provide a billion to put people back to work on the road and bridge projects that are in dire need of repair in Illinois.
A recent report by the American Society of Engineers found that 73% of Illinois' major roads are in poor or mediocre condition, costing $292 per motorist every year. The same study found 2,311 of Illinois' bridges to be structurally deficient.
Under Dillard's proposal, $100 million of sales tax revenue per year would be bonded, and recent estimates suggest that the revenue stream could support up to $1 billion of infrastructure improvements.
Dillard noted that Illinois is one of just seven states that charge sales tax at the pump. In Chicago, combined motor fuel taxes total more than 48 cents per gallon, plus the addition sales taxes from city, counties and Local municipalities.
"This is just the first salvo of tax relief and tax reform in the Dillard-Tracy administration," Dillard said. "I intend to conduct a top-to-bottom review of each of our taxes and tax structure, with a blue ribbon commission comprised of business people, taxpayer groups, and affected citizens, to modernize our tax code and reduce taxes for families and businesses, large and small."

BitDefender is the first to offer a free tool which disinfects all versions of DownadupWednesday, March 11, 2009On Saturday, March 7, BitDefender detected a new and more aggressive version of the Downadup virus. It spreads using a Windows RPC Server Service vulnerability and is called Win32.Worm.Downadup.C.The new version is more resistant to disinfection. Once the system is compromised, the worm disables Windows Update and blocks access to most anti-virus websites in order to hinder the user to disinfect the machine.BitDefender is the first to offer a free tool which disinfects all versions of Downadup and is available for all infected users at bdtools.net. This domain is the first to serve a removal tool without being blocked by the e-threat.The worm itself is not new, it made its first appearance in late November 2008, known under the names Conficker or Kido. The worm is also known for exploiting the vulnerability described in the Microsoft security bulletin MS08-067. After successful exploitation it used to install rogue security software on the infected machine.BitDefender Labs has been seeing an increase in worms, like Downadup, that have a built-in mathematical algorithm, generating strings based on the current date, said Vlad Valceanu, BitDefenders senior malware analyst. The worms then produce a fixed number of domain names on a daily basis and check them for updates. This makes it easy for malware writers and cybercriminals to upgrade a worm or give it a new payload as they only have to register one of the domains and then upload the files."

I don't know how many have seen this and I want Thom to see it. A very sad counterpoint on Stand Your Ground.
If you're point is that a white/hispanic man could get away with murder, but a black man can't, I'll just refer you the O.J. Simson case. He killed both a white man AND a white woman.....and got away with it. Quit playing the race card. It's so old, and I really get sick and tired of liberals constantly trying to take any circumstance they can possibly spin to advance there misaligned agenda. By constanlty bringing race into this situation it's people like you that advance racism.

College Hockey:2002-03 Mercyhurst Season Preview
Mercyhurst's Rick Gotkin got a surprise a week or so ago when he saw the league's coaches' poll. His team was once again listed first.
"I thought that Quinnipiac, because they were the defending champions and they returned so much, that they'd be favorite," said Gotkin.
Somehow, the other coaches in the league disagreed.
"I'm not surprised to be in the top three or four but I was surprised that we're picked to win it again," Gotkin said. "I'm humbled that the coaching peers feel we're the team to beat. It's a great compliment to our players and coaches and our tradition."
If Gotkin's Lakers are going to win the championship, though, they're going to have to fill a bit of a hole in goal. Peter Aubry, one of the best the school has ever seen, has graduated. That opens the door for Matt Cifelli, a junior netminder who saw little action his first two seasons.
"The torch passes from Aubry to Matt Cifelli," said Gotkin. "We've always liked Matt. That's why we've brought him here. It's unfortunate because he's sat behind one great player.
"But in the games that he's played, he's played very well. He's a very athletic goaltender and a great competitor. He needs a good chance and we're prepared to give it to him."
Gotkin will also need to replace Louis Goulet, a fiery forward who on many nights could come alive to steal a game for the Lakers, a headache to many a MAAC coach.
According to Gotkin, unlike the situation in net, no one player will replace Goulet.
"To replace Louie, we need to do it by committee, and we need four or five guys to step up," quipped Gotkin.
Much of Mercyhurst's success the past two years has come as a result of knowing how to win. If the Lakers remained in a game late, likely they came away victorious.
"In the last two years, we've had some good years, but we've won a lot of one-goal hockey games," Gotkin said. "It didn't matter who we played — those were great hockey games every single night."
Obviously, the Lakers will need to continue that tradition to find themselves on a winning path come season's end. But they will also need to show commitment to team defense that propelled the Lakers to the NCAA tournament two seasons ago.
After Cifelli, the defense will be led by seniors Mike Muldoon and Mark Chambers. T.J. Kemp was a welcome addition to the Laker defense last season and Gotkin hopes that rookies Preston Briggs and Conrad Martin can have the same impact this year.

Despite winning the first two or three rounds and scoring an eighth-round knockdown, San Francisco light welterweight Karim Mayfield dropped a close but unanimous 10-round decision Friday to Emanuel Taylor on ESPN in Huntington, N.Y. The scorecards read 97-92, 95-94, 95-94.
I had Mayfield winning 96-93, winning six rounds, including the third, seventh and 10th, but no official gave Mayfield more than one of those three rounds, and ESPN analyst Teddy Atlas, who criticized Mayfield's "one-dimensional" attack throughout the fight, had him winning none of those three rounds.
Mayfield dominated the early going by bullying his lankier opponent, but Taylor (18-2) got his bearings in the third and clearly won the fourth, fifth, and sixth by landing combinations while Mayfield tried to land a looping right hand that seldom found its mark all night.
After Mayfield had stepped up the attack in the seventh, the knockdown punch early in the eighth was a chopping right to the temple. That's a 10-8 round.
So, even if you thought Taylor had won five of the eight rounds, Mayfield was only one point down and had the opportunity to seize control in the ninth.
Instead, Taylor had his best round and Mayfield really didn't deserve to win the fight.
Mayfield, as usual, was solid defensively and boring offensively. He bucked that trend in 2012 with his fifth-round stoppage of Roger Serrano on ESPN but, coming off his March loss to Thomas Dulorme on HBO, Mayfield needed to maintain whatever attractiveness he has left to the television entities.
Taylor had stopped Serrano in six rounds in 2013 but had lost to Chris Algieri in his most recent bout. As with Mayfield, this was a do-or-die fight for Taylor, even though he's only 23.
It looks bad for Mayfield's career. As a person, he is attractive, but Mayfield the boxer simply isn't. It wouldn't be surprising to see him on ESPN some more, but his career at the elite level, despite his 18-2-1 record, is in danger of running dry.

As I said in my breakdown yesterday, all three finalists were outstanding this season but Sam Bradford stood out above the other two.
Nice speech, over-long ceremony, now we can get onto the field and settle this whole 'National Championship' nonsense.
Bradford is certainly a guy who might end up being a good NFL Pro if he continues to develop the way he has. As I said, he looks like he has all the tools.

This feels like the store I have been waiting for to come along for years and now at last it has – fate? Fate London is a new online homeware's store stocking a beautifully curated selection of products from independent brands, mostly from the US for a European audience. Yes, finally!
Simple and poetic with a focus on the luxury of materials like glass, marble, brass and wood, Fate London's very specific aesthetic draws attention to the smaller things in life. With a slick editorial website and whimsical imagery that makes you dream – the new brand excitingly draws parallels to the general store style aesthetics of my favourite US stores Love Adorned, Mociun and Ashes and Milk - and I'm so glad someone is bringing this brand of lifestyle our way.
From across the pond you will find; glorious faceted brass bottle-openers from Brooklyn based Fort Standard [also ones to watch] as well as marbled stone trivets that create Shamanic symbols on your table in triangle, pentagon and hexagon forms, hard to find Izola candles from NYC in earthy scents Sage and Magnolia, now iconic Pendleton blankets and unusual striped candles made in the US .
Offerings from the rest of the world include delicate Scandinavian glassware and handcrafted wood serve-ware from Kenya.
As a trend forecaster, one of the resounding consequences of the economic downturn for the design industry is that people are buying less trend-driven tat and more heriloom pieces that bring simple pleasure to the everyday. We are all spending much more time in our homes and a focus on honest, tactile materials and the balance they bring to our spaces is becoming ever more important.
With a superb first launch collection, Fate London proves it's one to watch.

Admissions open for Barking and Dagenham primary school applications
07:00 26 October 2013
Admissions for primary schools in Barking and Dagenham open for applications next Friday.
Children born between September 1, 2009, and the following August 31, 2010, can start school full-time next September.
Parents are being invited to list their preferred schools before the New Year closing date on January 15.
No places are guaranteed, the local education authority stresses. Parents must still apply for a school—even if their child is already in a nursery class or has a sibling at the school.
Barking & Dagenham council cabinet member John White said: "Our pre-schools, day nurseries and other arrangements are the stepping stones to a more structured learning environment.
"All children should have a positive start in school—so I ask that parents seek help as soon as they need it and submit applications before the deadline."
Applications are online and parents can get help from the School Admissions team with online sessions available at Dagenham Library on Tuesdays and at Barking Learning Centre on Thursdays until January 14, from 9am to 12.30pm and 1-4.30pm.
The authority's Admissions Team has set up a telephone help line on 020-8215 3004. Online applications are at www.barking-dagenham.gov.uk/admissions

1. Bryan Bulaga, RT (hip) --- Losing Bulaga has a ripple effect. T.J. Lang and Evan Dietrich-Smith are not completely foreign to their new positions on the starting offensive line but it may take time for the new front five to adjust as a whole. Above all, one more injury would be costly. Two undrafted rookies are all the Packers have in waiting for now. With seven games still to play in the regular season, that should be a concern.
They give an overview of each guy on IR and how important they view him to be in the overall scheme of things.
I don't think losing Bulaga is THAT costly. It will be losing the NEXT tackle that will be costly. Unless Sherrod or Datko are ready.
Maybe one of those unsung guys will step up.

Bulaga is the choice because of the lack of depth. I'm hoping it helps the offense though. Run blocking is more natural and easier than pass blocking. Perhaps if protection is lacking, they will actually run the ball more.

I'd say Ced but we might get him back in the next few weeks. So i'll go with Brian. What is more important than protecting the best player in the National Football League?

And screens! To cobb, maybe? :>
Both will take the pressure off Rodgers and will help the deeper stuff that we've just not had this year.

Good question, at this point I would say in the following order of importance:
1. Cedric Benson - I believe the Colts game would have likely been a win if he hadn't been injured.
2. Bishop - It seems like he is the only other LB on the roster capable of reliably getting pressure when he blitzes.
3. Bulaga - Has had a rough year, but still is the best we have at an important position. Also, this loss strains the OL depth.
4. Perry - Young player who needed the limited game reps to develop.
5. Smith - Dynamic player who got his chance to show what he could do cut short.
6-7 Saine/Jones - Don't really know/follow either of these guys.

My List-
1. Bulaga: I think even in struggles this season, he had the talent to stand up and stand out any given Sunday. With him out, the depth takes a hit. Sherrod might be the solution to bring that back in line, but not a given with his injury struggles. This was a concern coming into the season, but thankfully it may be only a short term that we are one injury away from a UDFA rookie protecting the franchise.
2. Smith: A dynamic linebacker that made plays all over the field, I had more faith in him in coverage than just about any other option on the roster. That said, Jones has filled in admirably to date, we shall see if that holds when we go up again elite TE's again.
3. Bishop: Probably could flip flop Bishop and Smith but for vastly different reasons. Bishop was the enforcer on the defense, he gave us a physical dimension up the middle. I bumped him down a spot because of Hawk's aggressive play this season.
4: Benson: No doubt he is missed on the offense, but I think the 3 above are more vital to our overall success. We need to run and we have ran without him.. and it has effected the defenses without him. I look forward to hopefully having him back to draw more defensive attention for the playoffs.
5. Perry: As a rookie he is being outplayed by Walden and probably Moses in snap for snap. I think he has a huge upside, but if we were going to lose him, this probably is the season to take that hit. We have options on the edge, so that is why he falls here.
6: Saine: Special teams effect. Versatle player that provided protection in different areas. My opinion, still probably the back with the most complete game on the roster. Not that he is better than the others.. but does everything in one package.

Desmond Bishop is the only loss that it's not amicably replaceable. He might not be able to cover Calvin Johnson, but I'm okay with that. The others lost are rotational players, not starters. Benson is solid, but replaced by a rotation. Bulaga is over rated and a rusted turnstile could replace him effectively.

1. Bishop Big hit when he went down.
2. Bulaga Being "only an injury away from a rookie" is a thin excuse for ranking Brian high. That means IF there is no injury to Lang or Sherrod they won't miss the big whale. I think GB will miss him even if his replacement does well.
3. Smith an exciting player
4. Benson GB still wins with a terrible running game. and since he could come back he gets moved down the list.
5. Perry
6. Saine
7. Jones
the real answer to which injury hurts the most- with as thin as the Packers are on both sides of the ball- the next one.

My list would be
1) Brian Bulaga ~ when 100% healthy, I think he's the best OL the Packers have. With the adjust of Lang to RT and D-Smith to LG, I find it interesting though... I'm wondering if they could be a better run blocking team. I think D-Smith is more physical than Lang, and I think Lang is GREAT at getting to the second level and blocking a LB or DB, and putting Lang at OT might give him some more chances to do so when they run to the left or pull someone to go right.
2) Nick Perry ~ I know a lot of people think Walden out played Perry (and at OLB he probably did) but I thought it looked like they were rotating them in two different roles. Perry played a lot on the first level (DL depth) between the OT and OG, where Walden mainly played on the second lever (LB depth) outside the OT. I see Walden and Moses now doing some of the things Perry did at the first level, and Perry was much better at holding the point and battling with the OL with no running start. Basically they were keeping Perry out of the coverage stuff (because he was struggling with it). But he was better in the more physical roles... and the rotation was keeping them all fresh. Now with Matthews banged up and Perry on the IR, they might not being staying fresh, which could be a problem.
3) Cedric Benson ~ I very well could argue Benson should be higher... but the reason I put him here is because I projecting forward some... I think his injury is helping Green learn what he needs to do, and helping Starks shake off the rust from being injured himself, and so if Benson comes back healthy, the Packers might have 3 RBs that are ready for the playoffs instead of just 1 or 2.... also Benson is going into a contract year, and having depth behind him with help with making the judgement weather to bring him back or if Green and Starks might be ready to step it up.
4/5) Bishop, D.J. Smith ~ To me they drop this far mainly because guys keep stepping up there and playing VERY well. No doubt Bishop his harder but I'm not seeing the huge loss some claim there is. Last year the Packers starting ILB had 6.5 sacks... so far this year the starting ILB have 4 sacks and the season isn't over. And Jones is the best in coverage IMO, he's not as physical but the DL is stepping up there and doing a much better job this year. Also I have to give it to Smith, he's not that fast but he's Super quick... there were a couple of plays where he's surprised the ball carriers which how fast he was able to stop his momentum change direction and restart in the new direction and make the play.

It will be interesting to see if at some point they move Lang back to G and insert Sherrod at T.
If they do not do so, it means that EDS is better than Sherrod.

Innocent is a fantastic father and I must give him kudos for that,he is crazy about all the kids he has.
He just strives to be there for everybody and he is not doing badly at all.
The relationship that exists between us now is the daddy and mummy relationship to our daughter and that is the truth.
I have no regrets that our relationship is not leading to marriage.Sometimes things come differently,but there are some things you cannot control,that does not mean you should regret it.So,I am cool.
But about marriage,no comment but God knows my husband.I dont have any regret because I am counting my blessings.
My decisions have been favourable.I am a very lucky and fortunate person.
I enjoyed everything though the relationship had its ups and downs and it went sour,it really went sour.
I just want a good man,a man who is matured enough,who appreciates the woman that loves him.I want a very good man and extremely matured with a good heart.

Hello! This was a party that I styled for my girls! I love planning their parties and everything was a DIY project! At the time, I was not aware that you could submit party themes to blogs; this is my reason for very late submission!!! :) Since then, I have started my own business, CHERISHED AFFAIRS! I love coordinating and styling ANY kind of event...weddings, parties, showers, etc. This is truly my passion!!! I would love to answer any questions that you have. I hope that you enjoy the pictures!

You can't file any charges yourself. All you can do is make a complaint with the local or state police where the act occurred, or the District Attorney for that county. It is ultimately up to the prosecutor to decide what, if any, charges are filed. However, under current PA law, it would be too late for the state to file charges here. Pennsylvania law provides that the latest charges may be brought for a sexual crime involving a victim under age 18 is the 50th birthday of the victim. 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 5552( c)(3). You were age 15 when the alleged crime took place, and that was 38 years ago. Thus, you are evidently age 53 now, and in that case it would be too late for the state to pursue. Moreover, the statute of limitation may have expired much earlier than that under the law that applied at the time the offense occurred. But, you are free to make the complaint if you wish; you have nothing to lose and it's up to the DA to determine if the statute of limitation has expired.

I agree with the prior response. The other problem you'd have, of course, is that the only evidence likely to exist is your testimony. If the defendant were to deny your allegation, then it would basically be a coin flip for the jury to decide which of you is credible. Your motivations for coming forward with something like this nearly four decades after the fact would be highly scrutinized. And statutory rape isn't exactly the crime of the century. For these and numerous other reasons, this isn't likely to be the sort of case that any prosecutor is going to be interested in pursuing.
