Golden Boy stacks PPV undercard for Marquez-Mayweather
Story by Andreas Hale
Photos by Chris Cozzone
Boxing is in dire need of an adrenaline shot.
It's no secret that the casual fight fan watches pay-per-view fights strictly for the main event. But with the skeptics rifling off that boxing is in a downward spiral and the UFC breathing down the sport's neck, Golden Boy Promotions and Mayweather Promotions knew that they needed to put together something spectacular to make the $49.95 price tag worth every penny.
Saturday's fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Juan Manuel Marquez may be the main attraction, but the undercard of that fight has put together some potentially explosive fights that will hopefully breathe life into the sport and give fight fans a reason to be excited.
"This is something that we at Golden Boy are going to do from now on," Golden Boy's Oscar De La Hoya said during Thursday's press conference that focused strictly on Saturday's undercards. "It's something that I urged at Golden Boy and Mayweather promotions feels the same way. This is needed to bring back the excitement in not only watching the main event but the entire card."
In what could quite possibly be the fight of the night, Vicente Escobedo (21-1, 13 KO's) will face the always-exciting Michael Katsidis (25-2, 21 KO's) in what many perceive to be a knock down, drag out battle.
For Escobedo, this will be his first shot at a world title. Katsidis currently is the interim WBO lightweight champion but Escobedo is well prepared for this opportunity to fight on the biggest stage of his career thus far.
"Come Saturday night I am extremely happy that you will be seeing a new world champion against a great fighter like Michael Katsidis," said Escobedo's trainer Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain via translator.
"It's an honor to be on a card like this, it's a dream come true," Escobedo said. "It's a huge day for me knowing that this is my first opportunity at a world title. I've got a tough fight. Michael Katsidis is a tough fighter. He comes out to fight. It's going to be an exciting fight (and) I'm ready."
Michael Katsidis is never one to let you down when it comes to action. His only two losses have come at the hands of Juan Diaz and Joel Casamayor in extremely enthralling fights that had fans on the edge of their seats. Although he is the interim title-holder, Katsidis needs this victory to thrust him into the limelight.
"It's been a very tough twelve months and we've done the work. I am Greek and also Australian so I've got a lot of heart. I can guarantee that come Saturday night that this is a world title and I can grow another arm and another leg just to win this fight," Katsidis said as he cited the importance of his match-up with Escobedo. "This is going to be a night to remember and I'm here to make history."
The co-feature will be a rematch between WBA featherweight champion Chris John (42-0-2, 22 KO's) and Rocky Juarez (28-4-1, 20 KO's) after their exciting battle back in February that ended in a draw.
The casual boxing fan may not be familiar with Indonesia's Chris John. However, one look at his record and one will notice a victory over Saturday's participant in the main event, Juan Manuel Marquez. John earned the disputed victory back in March of 2003 in a fight that was not televised in the states. Although he may not be a household name as of yet, a decisive victory over the always game Juarez could make the undefeated John one to watch for.
"This fight is very big for me and I've had a good training camp in Big Bear. We have had good sparring partners too. I'm confident in this fight and I want to put on a good show Saturday," John said.
Juarez has been in the ring with the best of them for world titles and come up short. He lost a close split decision to the legendary Marco Antonio Barrera in May of 2006 and lost another close decision in their rematch four months later. He also was defeated via an extremely close decision to Humberto Soto in 2005 and was dominated by Juan Manuel Marquez in 2007. None of those losses will damage a fighter's credibility. For the 2000 Olympic silver medallist, his hunger has increased. He could nearly taste the title down the stretch during his February fight with John, but saw the carrot dangled just out of his reach yet again when it was announced as a draw. This time, the fighter from Houston says he will take home the gold.
"This isn't my first time in a big event like this and this is my 5th opportunity at a world title," Juarez mentions. "I know that I want to continue to fight in events such as this so I have to win this fight. I'm not putting the pressure on myself. I've been here before. This Saturday I'm going to come, leave it all in the ring and become the new world champion."
With the rest of the undercards featuring prospects such as Erislandy Lara and Orlando Cruz as well as a number of interesting match-ups, Golden Boy and Mayweather hopes to set a precedent on how fight cards are supposed to be done.
"This is one of those pay-per-views where you want to get there early and watch all of the fights. We're so used to watching and waiting for the main event but that is going to stop. It has to stop," De La Hoya said, brimming with confidence that he has put on a show for the ages. "This is the first of many to come in the sport."
The world of boxing surely hopes so.

Cody was received from a horrible 'rescue' in Summerdale Alabama, the 'people' who ran it decided one day they no longer wanted to be a rescue, so instead of making arrangements for the 200 animals in their care, they left them with no food or water for approx. 3 weeks!!! My Cody was one of the lucky survivors and I went through quite a bit to adopt him, he fits into our family like he has always been here & is an absolute joy!!

The Big Blue All-Stars are coming to Marion County.

Being completely atheist or completely religious are both stupid. Both state that they
for sure what the truth is while, at this moment in time, there isn't enough evidence to prove either the argument for the existence or non-existence of a deity.
While I myself am an
I am truly more of an
agnostic atheist
which pretty much means that, although I personally don't believe in a god or gods, I also have the intelligence to say that at this point in time, there isn't enough evidence to completely prove or disprove the existence of a god.
But, that being said, there is almost certainly no god out there, and although it can't be proven now, it will be proven in the future through scientific advancements and the exploration of the universe. Sticking to faith is petty and silly. Live your life as a good person, and if a god does exist and an afterlife does too, then you're pretty much in because you lived as a good person that made life better for those around.
If you, however, live your life as a good person and then after you die a god exists and won't let you in an afterlife because he says "you didn't believe in me", then he is a petty god and if this happens to me I'm glad I don't go into his ....ty afterlife, because that guy would be a huge dick if he pulled that move.

If we did want to switch to a git-like model, I've also heard arguments for Mercurial recently, but don't have any experience with it. I finally created a git clone of our cvs. Git, as a distributed CRM system, looked to me to be a bit convenient to operate with branches and process 3rd-party patches. I've chosen github (vs gitorious) server as more popular. (It shouldn't be difficult to move the repo to some other eg. back to sourceforge in the future.) I haven't compared Git with Hg. Besides, cloning the repo with the full history, I've: 1. split it into 2 projects - libatomic_ops and bdwgc itself (the latter lacks libatomic_ops folder); 2. added gc6x-branch (comprised of official pre-v7 releases); 2. added major downstream forks - mono_libgc and gcc_boehmgc branches originated from gc6x-branch (to simplify comparison and merging into upstream). (Although, I don't know how I'll update these branches from their origins.)(Continue reading)

I think the Clones finally get to win #2. KU is one dimensional and while I think Simms gets to 120-150 yards, that wont be enough. I think ISU wins 20-13.

We are going to eye poke like hell to glorious victory!

Kansas 6 Iowa State 0. Simms runs for 200+ on 43 carries.
It's Prohm Time!!
I expect a back and forth game in the cold. Cyclones win 24-20.
If at any point someone is up by more than one score, don't be surprised if the other team suddenly realizes how cold it is and mails it in for the rest of the game, resulting in a 20+ point blow-out.
The Fightin' Burnhams stops KU's rush, and ISU wins by 2+ TDS.
KU wins at Allen Fieldhouse. ISU wins at Hilton. Hopefully we play a 3rd time in KC.

The Real Story: Rapiscan and The Chertoff Group
November 15, 2011
Frequently, we are asked to explain our relationship with the Chertoff Group, a strategic consulting group headed by the former United States Secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff. To head off all of the frequent questions we receive about the group and our relationship, here is an overview:
There is no ongoing relationship with the Chertoff Group.
Rapiscan contracted with the organization for six months several years ago for professional services related to international port and border cargo inspection policies. The Chertoff Group was never contracted nor asked to lobby the United States Government (nor any international government) in regards to matters of homeland or aviation security. No U.S. government officials have EVER been contacted by the Chertoff Group on behalf of Rapiscan Systems – a review of the publicly filed documents with the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives Sergeants-at-Arms verifies this matter.
As we have stated numerous times in the past (and will continue to show), we are focused on providing global security solutions to keep private citizens, infrastructure and the international community safe. The success of our technologies speaks for itself; we don't need anyone else to do that for us.

Quickly Create CSS 3 Animations with 'Ceaser'
CSS 3 has some awesome new animation capabilities for web developers — rotating objects, fading them in and out and more — but writing the code is a bit more complicated than most CSS rules. To make your animating job a bit easier, developer Matthew Lein put together Ceaser, a handy code generator that outputs CSS snippets for animations.
Ceaser will look familiar to anyone who's ever used Robert Penner's easing equation in Flash (and later JQuery) since it includes approximations of most of Penner's equations.
To use Ceaser, just pick a preset, set a time for the transition (the default is 500 milliseconds) and then pick a property to apply it to — width, height, opacity, etc. You can also create your own easing curve using the drag-and-drop graph tools. Once you've got everything working the way you'd like, just paste the CSS output into your stylesheet and you're done.

» Butler & Te'o-Nesheim Drafted In 3rd Round
» Sat. Sarkisian Post-Practice Video
» Saturday Practice Photo Gallery
» Friday Night Lights Spring Game Central
» Football Dawg Blawg
This is an area of the game the Huskies have been developing throughout spring football practice. Erik Folk is the only mainstay in a unit that was nearly automatic last year, which led to one of the best seasons from a Husky placekicker the program has ever experienced. Gone are Folk's holder (Ronnie Fouch) and his long snapper (Danny Morovick), meaning the Huskies are juggling two new additions to the fold: Brendan Lopez and Cody Bruns, who is pulling double-duty as both a holder and a receiver.
A complete recalibration of the kicking game won't come overnight. Folk has missed some makeable kicks this spring, a sight Coach Steve Sarkisian has mostly shrugged off during post-practice interviews. He understands Folk is working with a new unit. Additionally, he's not overly concerned about kicks that don't count.
To get up to speed, a quartet of Folk, Bruns, Lopez and punter Will Mahan are a constant sight before and after practice. They've banded together each morning at 7 a.m. for workouts. When practice ends, the group will hang out together off the field as well.
"We're together almost every day," Lopez said. "Just building that friendship connection has really helped with the chemistry."
Outside of watching film, the only way Lopez said he can improve his long-snapping skills is with practice reps. So he'll gather Bruns and intentionally snap him balls that are too low or too high, helping to prepare the holder for the live snaps that do happen to go awry. Bruns said he's felt more comfortable as spring practice has worn on, knowing his sure hands (part of what made him a record-setting receiver out of Prosser High School) can handle any snap. The extra practice has helped, according to Bruns, who noted Folk is regaining the form that made him one of the most successful placekickers in Husky history in 2009. Case in point: during Saturday's scrimmage at a wind-swept Husky Stadium, Folk drilled a 45-yard field goal.
"We've made a big gain from where we were at the beginning of spring to now," Bruns said.
Bruns enjoys holding because it keeps him on the field. When he was approached this offseason by the coaches about the opportunity, he jumped. Holding offered him a sure job on the field, unlike receiving, where there is brutal competition to showcase yourself in front of the decision makers. The Huskies returned a deep class of receivers, and Bruns wasn't helped when he suffered a concussion during the early part of spring ball. The knock wasn't serious, but it was enough for others to step into his place.
"There's a lot of depth at the receiver position. A lot," Bruns said. "We're all close, and it's better for us as a unit (to be deep). It's going to help me individually as well."
Lopez has no such competition to keep him up nights. The junior from nearby Bellevue began his college football career at the University of Michigan, a decision he called "rash." That's not to say he didn't enjoy his time in Ann Arbor, but he regretted leaving the Evergreen State to head east almost immediately. Last year, Lopez backed up Morovick. Now he's in sole possession of the job.
The hardest part of the gig, Lopez said, is putting yourself in the proper mind frame to succeed in such a short window. A long snapper can theoretically sit on the bench for 59 minutes and 55 seconds, and then be called upon to snap the would-be game-winning field goal.
"I'm a real calm, collected guy," Lopez said. "I don't get rattled. But stuff like this, you don't five to six opportunities to do it right. Sometimes, you only get one shot."

Swine flu outbreak hits West Bank
Addis Ababa, January 5, 2013 (WIC) - A Palestinian public health official recently reported that an outbreak of H1N1 swine-related influenza has killed nine people in the West Bank.
Deputy Health Minister Asad Ramlawi said the H1N1 flu strain, also known as swine flu, has infected more than 225 people in the area. He said more than 25,000 of the West Bank's 2.5 million residents have been administered vaccinations against the illness this year, according to Fox News.
During the 2009 global swine flu pandemic, dozens of Palestinians died. The H1N1 strain is now considered a seasonal flu and is included in the standard annual flu vaccine. The World Health Organization declared the 2009 outbreak, which began in Mexico, the world's first global flu pandemic in 40 years.
In Rajasthan, India, 24 swine flu-related deaths have been reported in the last 20 days. More than 150 people have been confirmed to have contracted the illness. In response to the increasing number of cases, the Indian Medical Health and Family Welfare Department instructed public health officials to initiate preventative measures and to survey their jurisdictions for possible swine flu cases.
Norwegian hospitals have also reported a significant increase in swine flu cases. The Norwegian Public Health Institute said it is too early to declare a pandemic, but hospitals are preparing for an influx of cases nonetheless.
According to IndianTimes.com Some have recruited additional health professionals, while others have cleared rooms in the expectation of new cases.

|Canadian Olympian Ashley Holzer Scores Top Five Finish at CDI5* EXQUIS World Dressage Masters
|| Print |
July 25, 2009—Canadian Olympian Ashley Holzer placed fifth in the Grand Prix at the CDI5* EXQUIS World Dressage Masters on July 25, 2009, held at Dressage at Hickstead, in Great Britain. They will be amongst the top six to move on to the Freestyle on Sunday.
Originally from Toronto, ON, but now a resident of New York, NY, Holzer scored 73.191% with Pop Art (Amsterdam x Cabochon), a 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Rusty Holzer and Ian and Moreen Nicoll.
"I was thrilled that he made the trip and came out within a few days and did another stellar job," said Holzer. "He was a little tense when he saw the all the people, but as usual he calmed right down and went to work. I am looking very forward to the Freestyle tomorrow."
Also competing in the Grand Prix was Canadian Olympian Evi Strasser from Sainte-Adèle, QC. Paired with her longtime partner Quantum Tyme, a 14-year-old Oldenburg gelding (Quattro x Argentinius), Strasser scored 65.702%, which moves her on to Sunday's Grand Prix Special.
The dressage competition continues on Sunday, July 26. Complete results may be found at http://www.cso.dsl.pipex.com/results/events/2009/20090720.htm.

Forecast discussion: Despite a high pressure system over the state of Michigan, Boston saw grey skies and even some showers. The clouds cover and showers were due to a weak disturbance moving into northern New England. It is helping to trigger showers across eastern Massachusetts at the moment. This will continue into the overnight.
Despite the high pressure center moving slowly to the east, the disturbance will slowly move further south. We will continue to see grey skies and peeks of sunshine. However, the disturbance may create some isolated showers and a possible thunderstorm, especially in the middle of the afternoon. Any thunderstorms may be strong enough to produce some small hail and gusty winds. The disturbance will finally move offshore late Sunday night, and the high will dominate our weather on Memorial Day.
The holiday looks fantastic, with mostly sunny skies and temperatures will reach the lower 80's. This will make for the perfect cookout or parade. But, as we head into the evening, we will begin to see increasing clouds. A cold front will be moving over the region, and we will see the risk of showers and thunderstorms through the early afternoon into the late evening. Our warm temperatures on Monday will return to slightly below seasonable temperatures on Tuesday.
As we head into Tuesday night, we are going to feel some very cold temperatures for the last week of May. Low temperatures may fall into the lower 50's in some spots, with high temperatures in the middle 60's on Wednesday. Temperatures will warm up into the upper 60's to lower 70's on Thursday.
As we head into the weekend, a new cold front will slowly work its way into Southern New England. We should see showers arrive by the late morning on Friday, The front will be moving through rather quickly, as the front moves offshore by the early part of next Saturday morning. A new high pressure system will bring back mostly sunny skies during the daytime.
72 hour forecast:
Tonight: Cloudy with isolated showers and a low of 52.
Sunday: Partly sunny skies in the morning, with the chance for showers and an isolated thunderstorm by 3 p.m. Any thunderstorms could produce small hail and gusty winds. We will see the high of 69 with winds shifting to the southeast at 7-10 mph.
Sunday night: Isolated showers and thunderstorms end around 2 a.m. with clearing skies. We will see a low of 56 with winds turning to the southwest at 7-10 mph.
Memorial Day: Mostly sunny and warmer with a high of 82.
Monday night: Increasing clouds with a low of 61.
Tuesday: Partly sunny in the morning, with overcast skies and showers/ thunderstorms starting by 1 p.m. We will see a high of 71.
Tuesday night: Showers end by 11 p.m. with mostly cloudy skies. We will see a low of 54.
Extended Forecast:
Wednesday: Mostly sunny. Highs 63-66, lows 49-52.
Thursday: Mostly sunny. Highs 69-72, lows 51-54.
Friday: Becoming cloudy with showers/light rain arriving by the late morning. Highs 72-75, lows 55-58.
Saturday: Showers end by 2 a.m. with mostly sunny skies during the day. Highs 71-74, lows 55-58.

Let $D = \{\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{R}^2 \ | \ \|\mathbf{x}\| \le 1\}$ and let $\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^2$ be the real projective plane Let $X = D/\sim$ where $\sim$ identifies antipodal points in the boundary of $D$. I am interested in finding explicitly a homeomorphism between X and the projective plane. Could anyone please help me with this one?

OK, if $D$ is a 2-dimensional closed ball and $X = D / \sim$, where $\sim$ identifies antipodal points on the boundary, then there is a homeomorphism $\varphi \colon X \to \mathbb{R}P^2$. Here is how we define it: $$ \varphi(x,y) = x:y:\sqrt{1-x^2-y^2} $$ where $(x,y)$ are coordinates of a point in $D$. Notice that if $(x,y)\sim(x',y')$ then $\varphi(x,y)=\varphi(x',y')$, so $\varphi$ is well defined. You can check yourself that this is a homeomorphism.
Basically, what I've done here is compose the natural homeomorphism $\mathbb{R}P^2 \to (S^2 / \approx)$, where $\approx$ identifies antipodal points on the sphere, with a homeomorphism $(S^2 / \approx) \to X$ which simply projects the upper half-sphere to the $xy$-plane.
I think perhaps what you want is that $\Bbb RP^n$ is homeomorphic to $S^n/\sim$ where we say $x\sim y$ if $y=tx$ for some $t\in \Bbb R$ (we're identifying antipodal points). You can check that a homeomorhism is induced by the map $$f(x)=\frac{x}{\Vert x\Vert}.$$
They aren't homeomorphic. You can look at their homology to see this. (There is probably an easier way, this seems like overkill).
Edit: And yes, as a commenter has pointed out, the $D$ you described is a closed ball, and this is contractible so that's not homeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^2$ either

"Dancing With the Stars" Season 9, Week 2: TV Recap
The second week of competition on "Dancing with the Stars" brought a rude awakening to the 14 remaining contestants. After having four weeks to prepare for their first performance, the pseudo-celebrities had just four days to learn a new routine for Monday evening. The seven male and seven female stars were each given one of three dances — the kick-tastic jive, the moody tango or the frenzied quick step — as part of their quest for the famed mirror-ball trophy. The ballroom had a slightly more relaxed vibe Monday, no doubt because head judge Len Goodman was absent. Baz Luhrmann, the acclaimed Australian director responsible for "Moulin Rouge," filled his chair this week along side Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.
Unlike Goodman, who is the leader of the technique police, Lurhmann commented primarily on showmanship and chemistry. Here's a recap of the sequin-studded action:
Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough kicked off the show with a jive. Between the fringe on Krupa's skirt and her crimped hair extensions, it was hard to focus on the supermodel's moves. Joanna went full force, kicking and bending and twisting her way through the high-energy routine.
Judge verdict: Carrie Ann called her feet "spastic." Baz wanted to see more of a "relationship" between the pair.
Score: 20
Natalie Coughlin and Alex Mazo followed with the quick step. Natalie has a tendency to hold her breath — something that helped her win a gold medal as a swimmer but made her look stiff in rehearsals. She toned it down by the time it came to perform, using an occasional smile to break the tension in her face during the dance.
Judge verdict: Bruno said she's "got everything there" but that she needed to relax. Carrie Ann said Natalie was "one of my favorites."
Score: 21
Chuck Liddell and Anna Trebunskaya played off of Chuck's professional fighting background with their tango. But the addition of two shirtless moments and a continual half-grimace-half-stare made the dance borderline scary — or ridiculous. Chuck stomped around the floor with Anna in an elongated black tutu trying to match his intensity.
Judge verdict: The judges agreed the routine was somewhat frightful but praised the work he put into learning the steps. Bruno said, "But you really are a contender."
Score: 19
Melissa Joan Hart and Mark Ballas Jr. channeled Minnie and Mickey Mouse in red and white polka dot costumes for their jive. The actress, best known for her star role on "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," conquered her fear of dancing in front of millions and threw herself into the jittery dance. Mark choreographed a routine with as much going on with handwork as there was with footwork.
Judge verdict: All three said her technique was an improvement over last week. Both Baz and Bruno said her footwork still needed quite a bit of work.
Score: 19
Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova were out to overcome last week's bottom-of-the-barrel score of 13 with their quick step. Michael worked Anna as hard as Anna worked Michael — and the extra effort paid off. Wearing a hot pink shirt, the charismatic football player whirled around the dance floor with a smile, hitting the steps and ending with a thumb's up.
Judge verdict: "Compared to last week, this is like a touch down," said Carrie Ann.
Score: 20
Debi Mazar and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have an "I love you, I hate you" relationship, Debi said. But it feels more like the latter than the former. But the passion translated well into the tango, with Maksim's intense training bringing out the dramatic actress in Debi. "I couldn't wait to push him around," Debi said afterwards.
Judge verdict: Praise from all sides for the theatrics. Bruno and Carrie Ann said her arms need works. Score: 21
Louie Vito and Chelsie Hightower are the youngest couple in the competition and they proved it with a rebellious rock rendition of the jive. The professional skateboarder had never heard of the dance before he had to learn it but nonetheless threw himself into it — with a flip over Chelsie to start the dance. Was that an air guitar jam in there?
Judge verdict: Bruno nailed him for relying on tricks when he should focus on technique. Carrie Ann and Baz loved their energy.
Score: 19
Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff channeled Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy in their Muppet-inspired quick step to the television show's infamous theme song. Aaron donned a green tuxedo with Karina in a puffy pale-pink dress. The pair, who finished first last week, didn't disappoint with their animated routine. Aaron confidently led Karina around the dance floor, not the other way around, which was an impressive fete for the second week.
Judge verdict: Even a trumpet to Bruno's ear, complements of Gonzo, didn't stop the judge form standing up and screaming, "Spectacular!"
Score: 27 (tied for 1st place)
Kelly Osbourne and Louis van Amstel let the high expectations from last week's emotional Viennese waltz get the better of them. The pair performed a sharp tango mired with missteps. Kelly gave away the mistakes with a nervous giggle and a smile. "Basically, I just freaked out, I panicked," she said afterwards.
Judge verdict: Carrie Ann said she was building a solid technique base but that she needed to stay in character throughout her routines.
Score: 19
Kathy Ireland and Tony Dovolani had the slowest quick step of the evening. Tony filled the holes from the model's weaknesses with plenty of theatrics, including straightening of his cuffs and kissing her hand at the end. The music, "Shall We Dance?" from the musical "The King & I," didn't liven up the old-fashioned routine.
Judge verdict: Carrie Ann and Bruno pushed them to be more engaged as partners. Baz suggested she attack the dance with more vigor.
Score: 18 (tied for last place)
Mark Dacascos and Lacey Schwimmer diced the quick step precisely to the crowd's liking. The Iron Chef America star, looking dapper in a pinstriped vest and pants, slipped early on but recovered quickly to complete his performance-heavy routine. Ever the showman, Mark relied on over-the-top facial expressions and exaggerated reactions.
Judge verdict: "After that first fall, you could've fallen apart," Baz said, praising him for continuing.
Score: 21
Mya and Dmitry Chaplin did a geek-chic role play with their jive and delivered a perfect balance of sexy and spunk. It began with Mya pulling off Dmitry's hat, ripping off his too-short tie and wrapping his leg around her sequin-clad body asking "Will you go to bed with me?" The routine that followed was all sass –and Mya hit each kick with a confident smile.
Judge verdict: Baz called it the "real deal" and praised the pair for making the dance their own. Bruno compared them to Josephine Baker and Clark Kent.
Score: 27 (tied for 1st place)
Tom Delay and Cheryl Burke had a respectable tango up until the very last moment, when Cheryl threw herself into Tom's arms. She did so with such force that Tom stumbled and nearly dropped her — and it looked like he hurt himself in the process. Even if he came out and stood still on the dance floor, we suspect that the former House majority leader would continue to be a big draw for the show.
Judge verdict: Carrie Ann's comment on sticking the landing drew inappropriate jokes. Baz channeled "Uncle Lenny" and complimented Tom's hold.
Score: 18 (tied for last place)
Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson closed the show with an Austin Powers themed jive. At 51 years old, Donny is the second-oldest person in the competition and yet he put on a velour suit and kicked/slid/pointed/clapped/ his way through a complex routine — and couldn't have looked happier about it. (We will say that there was something slightly odd about seeing the squeaky-clean entertainer dance to "Secret Agent Man," a song about a man "who leads a life of danger.")
Judge verdict: "Secret Agent Osmond. Mission accomplished," Bruno said. Both Carrie Ann and Baz complimented what he was able to achieve at his age.
Score: 25
Readers: Who do you think will go home on Tuesday evening?

The 2014 edition of San Diego's 'Festival of Sail' kicked-off Thursday with a Tall Ship Parade. The parade formed near Point Loma, passed Shelter and Harbor Islands and ended at the Embarcadero, where many of the ships may be boarded by the public. The Festival runs until Labor Day and includes all manner of things from more tall ship parades, mock cannon battles, ships open for tours, vendors and displays.
The Embarcadero will be wall-to-wall people all weekend, with little or no parking available, but the Festival is well worth fighting the crowds. Have someone drop you off nearby, or take the trolley and do a bit of walking!

When an initial event is planned, the thought of celebrating it annually, let alone in perpetuity, is usually not the main focus of the organizers. It's a frenetic time fraught with peril and the recurring nightmare of the expected audience not appearing at the appointed time and place is a sleep disruptor of epic proportions.
Five years later, although the initial fears are gone, others have replaced them including the significantly increased workload of planning a (now) five day festival, not merely a single evening's concert. However, the funds raised over the time period since the first event took place are proof positive that a large loyal and vociferous audience of followers has been created. The quality of the music and the pageantry of the performances have been the driving factors leading to the continued and growing success.
The 5th Anniversary Rosarito Beach International Mariachi & Folklorico Festival promises to be 'one for the ages' as well as 'one for all ages.' 2013's student attendees ran the gamut from 10 to 67.
Rosy Torres, the President of the local Club de Ninos y Ninas (Boys and Girls Club) has graciously shared the information and the preliminary schedule with the representatives of the print /broadcast media. Word of mouth has already resulted in brisk ticket sales so for those readers interested in attending any of the festival's sessions open to the public NOW would be a good time to take action. All the information you need to purchase tickets will be included at the end of this article.
The festivities open with the arrival of up to 500 students and their maestros on Tuesday, September 30th. Three days of rigorous instruction will follow. Since instrumental music has not been part of the public school curriculum of Mexico since 1934, the support of the State of Baja's Secretary of Education for the Talleres (Workshops) in allowing those enrolled in schools to attend the Workshops, in lieu of regular classes, will definitely be a major contributing factor to the anticipated record attendance and success of the tutorial sessions. The teachers in each category…mariachi, vocal skills, and ballet folklorico…are all world class practitioners of their art.
During the first three days (October 1st-3rd) of the conclave, there will be several unique events open to the public. After classes conclude on Wednesday, October 1st, groups selected by the Directors will be providing complimentary entertainment at local restaurants. After classes on Thursday, October 2nd, the ceremonies honoring this year's Salon de Fama (Hall of Fame) inductees will take place followed by a gala 'Cocktails with the Stars' celebration (bebidas, botanas, and photos with the soiree's headliners) in the hotel's beautiful Salon de Quixote. On Friday, October 3rd, after classes, the weekend's fabulous entertainment package officially commences with the Inauguracion (Grand Opening) under the stars featuring introductions and the ribbon cutting, a Banda la Guerra (flags presentation) of the international countries represented (currently Mexico, The United States of America, Canada, The Netherlands, Japan, and the Navajo Nation), The Student Showcase (supported by Mariachi Sonido de Mexico and BF Tapatio), and a Professional Performances Concert featuring Mariachi Tesoro de Tucson, Nizhoni Camille Begay, Carolina de Holanda and Dwayne Verheyden (superstars from The Netherlands), Kotolan (featuring Junko Seki) and Latin Grammy nominee Trio Ellas.
Saturday, October 4th will be the centerpiece of the 5th anniversary celebration. It will begin with the Mariachi Competencia (Competition) at 10: 00 AM. Four of the best groups from Mexico and The United States will compete for $2500 in prize money. Noon will mark the beginning of the highly popular ' People's Choice' vocal competition and 1:00 PM will signal the start of the Ballet Folklorico Competencia (Competition) where four of the best groups from north and south of the border will dance off for another $2500 in appropriately divided-up prize money.
Saturday evening's Concierto Extravaganza will feature virtuoso performances by three of the world's finest exponents of mariachi. Mariachi Espectacular, under the Musical Direction of the multiple Grammy award-winning Alberto 'Beto' Jimenez, the multiple Grammy award-winning Mariachi Divas de Cindy Shea, and el mejor del mundo, Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan.
Sunday October 5th's two concluding events will be very special. For the very first time, the Misa de Panamericana (The Mariachi Mass), written nearly fifty five years ago by the French Canadian priest Father Juan Marco LeClerc, will be performed in Rosarito for the first time ever. It will be followed by a mariachi wedding featuring a maestro whom we all know and love as he and his bride-to-be take the wedding vows in a beautiful oceanfront ceremony.
Impartial observers would definitely agree that Rosy and her helpers have put together a once-in-a-lifetime 5th anniversary celebration. Traditional gifts commemorating this benchmark event are made of wood, symbolizing strength and a solidified relationship, while contemporary keepsakes are crafted from silver, symbolizing connectivity. Strong, solid, connected…three great adjectives definitely describing this special anniversary to remember.

|Cato Policy Analysis No. 390
|February 1, 2001
by Ronald J. Sutherland
Ronald J. Sutherland is an energy economist who has worked at Argonne National Laboratory and the American Petroleum Institute. He is currently with the Center for the Advancement of Energy Markets.
Executive Summary
Critics of the oil industry allege that the industry receives large and unwarranted government subsidies and that rival technologies, such as those for ethanol, renewable energy, and energy efficiency, deserve compensating government preferences. The evidence indicates that, on balance, the oil industry is not a net beneficiary of government subsidies. The facts point in the opposite direction. The oil industry is more harmed than helped by government intervention in energy markets.
Special tax deductions, direct expenditures, net excise taxes, and research and development expenditures are constantly targeted by oil critics. However, those subsidies are a small share of oil revenues and far less generous than the preferences and subsidies provided for rival businesses and technologies such as mass transit and alternative fuels. Moreover, most energy subsidies are wealth transfers that do not significantly distort energy prices or affect energy markets.
The contention that oil consumers do not pay their fair share of the environmental and national defense costs they impose on society is dubious. There is little evidence to suggest that the environmental externalities imposed by oil consumption exceed the taxes and regulatory costs paid by consumers. The contention that national defense costs would be lower if domestic oil consumption were taxed is also not supported by the evidence.

Red Raiders Ranked 60th In Recent ITA Top 75 Poll
Head coach Tim Siegel discusses strategy with Gabriel Dias (left) and Vitor Manzini (right).
March 6, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech is No. 60 in this week's ITA Top 75 men's collegiate tennis rankings, falling two spots after splitting a pair of matches last week with Miami and New Mexico.
Ironically, Miami moved up two spots to No. 67, while unranked New Mexico moved into the rankings at No. 74.
This is the lowest Texas Tech has been ranked in the ITA Top 75 since June, 2004, when the Red Raiders were ranked 63rd in the final poll that season.
The Red Raiders return to action on Friday at 1 p.m. when they travel to Colorado to face the University of Denver. On Saturday, Texas Tech will face No. 61 Arizona at the DU Courts at 1 p.m.

Sister Megan Rice, the nun who received a three-year-prison sentence for her anti-nuclear protest, responded to her sentencing on Tuesday after the trial. "Please have no leniency with me," said Sister Megan Rice. "To remain in prison for the rest of my life would be the greatest gift you could give me." According to a Feb. 18, 2014, CBS News report, the 84-year-old nun asked the judge during her closing statement in court to sentence her for life.
Instead of life or the six years asked for by the prosecutor, the senior nun received a prison sentence of 35 months. Two other protesters, Greg Boertje-Obed and Michael Walli, received five years for having broken into the supposedly highly secured nuclear weapons facility in Tennessee and for having defaced a uranium processing plant.
Almost two years ago, on July 28, 2012, the more than 80-year-old nun and the two other activists cut through three fences at the nuclear facility, reached a $548 million storage bunker, hung up their anti-nuclear protest banners, surrounded the area with crime-scene tape, and splashed baby bottles of human blood on the bunker wall with messages like "the fruit of justice is peace."
The three activists also "hammered off a small chunk of the fortress-like Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility inside the most secure part of complex."
When security guards arrived at the allegedly highly-secured facility, the three activists offered them to share a Bible, candles, and white roses.
During the trial, 58-year-old protester Boertje-Obed said that "the reason for the baby bottles was to represent that the blood of children is spilled by these weapons." Sister Megan Rice said that she was surprised that they had been able to get into the inside of what was supposed to be a most secured facility. She was also surprised that as a consequence, the operation of the plant was suspended.
While some people, including some government officials, had praised the activists for exposing the security weakness of the highly enriched Uranium facility, others, including prosecutors, regarded the three individuals' action as a crime.
By handing down the almost three-year-prison sentence to Sister Megan Rice, and sentencing Greg Boertje-Obed and Michael Walli to five years, U.S. District Judge Amul Thapar expressed his concern for the lack of the activists' remorse and wanted the punishment "to be a deterrent for other activists."
