Is the Shanghai Dialect a Dying Language ?
by Savitha C Muppala on February 25, 2012 at 11:56 PM Lifestyle News - G J E 4
China may soon witness the fading of the Shanghai dialect, unless they work hard to promote this language.
The number of people speaking the rapid-fire language -- a badge of identity for residents of China's commercial capital of more than 20 million people -- is shrinking.
The number of people speaking the rapid-fire language -- a badge of identity for residents of China's commercial capital of more than 20 million people -- is shrinking.
As the government maintains a decades-old drive to promote Mandarin Chinese as the official language, banning dialects from media broadcasts and schools, many young people are unable to fluently speak the native Shanghai tongue.
AdvertisementAn influx of migrants from outside Shanghai and the city's drive to become more international have also combined to water down the local patois.
"A language is like a living thing, after it gets old, it must die," said Qian, a retired professor of language studies at Shanghai University. "People born in the 1990s cannot really speak Shanghai dialect."
Shanghai is not alone. China's southern province of Guangdong has announced plans requiring broadcasters to get special permission to use the Cantonese dialect in programmes from March 1, causing a storm of controversy.
But there are signs that Shanghai's residents will not give up on their language that easily.
Shanghai comedian Zhou Libo has helped revitalise interest in the dialect with his witty routines, which often mock outsiders.
"The weakening of dialects means the weakening of local culture. Why must our children speak (Mandarin) Chinese? Shanghai people who cannot speak the Shanghai dialect. What stupidity!" he said on a talk show.
City buses have recently introduced announcements in Shanghainese, and there are plans for the metro system to follow suit to cater to older people, especially those with no formal education, who do not understand Mandarin.
Shanghai Airlines has just added an announcement about the city's attractions to market the unique features of Shanghai. But the airline had to train young flight attendants to pronounce the words.
Not long after the Communist Party took power in 1949, it made Mandarin Chinese the official language to promote unity.
The government has been unable to stamp out local dialects, but it has discouraged their use, barring them from the classroom in most cases.
Although millions of people -- mainly those aged from their 40s -- still speak the Shanghai dialect, the version Qian heard in the 1980s is now found only in the mouths of elderly people and in the city's distant suburbs.
Qian, 66, laments the disappearance of words and changes in pronunciation as Shanghainese borrows from dominant Mandarin.
"As soon as the sounds combine, a group of words change," he said.
Also lost to time are colourful curse words like "corpse floating on the river" and "ghost of an executed criminal" which were once common insults in the Shanghai dialect.
In the 1990s, the local government pulled radio and television broadcasts using the Shanghai dialect as part of a national campaign.
A popular Shanghai radio show "A Fu Gen" which featured discussions of current events was among the victims.
Xiao Ling, a host for the show, struggled for 10 years before a sympathetic official revived the programme.
Xiao is one of only two hosts at the radio station who have formal broadcast training in the Shanghai dialect.
Last year, the programme was forced to hold open auditions to find candidates with Shanghai language skills to fill open positions.
"My colleagues joke that we are giant pandas," said Xiao.
Shanghai's prestigious Tongji University organised a voluntary class in the dialect, after finding student volunteers were unable to communicate with elderly Shanghai people, teaching basic phrases like "nong hao" (hello).
Tongji also offers a class for foreign students.
"We thought it was good to have people from outside the organisation and even outside the school to join the class," organiser Shen Yiwen said.

I like this specific Selenium package because this is the only one I could find 100 mcg available at Iherb. Since 200 mcg is a safe dosage per day, I take one pill in the morning and one before going to sleep for my thyroid treatment.
This selenium is exactly what you're looking for if you're picky like I am. It doesn't contain anything I wouldn't want it to contain and it's a perfect dosage. Besides that, it's packed in a glass container, which I, for several reasons (environment, preservability...), prefer above other packaging methods.

Do Hedge Funds Have to Disclose Holdings?
Original post by Geri Terzo of Demand Media
Hedge funds have been among the most loosely regulated investment vehicles in the financial industry. In 2011, the landscape changed as regulators put forth a set of new rules to more closely monitor investment firms, including hedge funds. As a result of the new legislation, hedge funds now have to make certain disclosures about holdings, but current details remain confidential to protect a fund's competitive position.
Large Funds
Hedge funds that oversee at least $1 billion in assets under management are required to disclose investment holdings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, according to an article on the CNBC website. Prior to 2011, hedge fund managers were not required to share any trading information and the article suggests that the requirements are likely to be bothersome for hedge funds. Fund managers must disclose details surrounding trading positions, including the amount of leverage, or debt, used, as well as the source of any debt.
Small Funds
Regulation for smaller funds is somewhat less cumbersome. Managers of smaller hedge funds need to make less-frequent SEC filings in comparison with the larger funds. Small hedge funds are not required to disclose the same detail about holdings as larger funds, either. Instead, small hedge fund requirements are more general and surround revealing trading strategies and details about the level of debt and risk associated with trades. Other disclosures include Information about hedge fund performance as well as the regional concentration of investors.
The premise behind the ramped-up controls in the hedge fund industry is to keep any potential failures that might occur among hedge fund traders from posing a systemic risk to the economy, according to the CNBC website. The theory held by lawmakers is that by viewing hedge fund holdings, regulators can recognize if the economy might be heading toward some colossal failure. Hedge funds and other market participants, however, question how policymakers who may not be experts in the financial markets and the complex strategies used by traders might be able to identify such risks.
Hedge funds overseeing $100 million or more in assets under management make further disclosures about holdings to the SEC and the documents are available to the public. The filing is called a 13F, and it discloses details about some of the largest stock positions hedge funds have been exposed to. The information, however, is from the previous quarter, according to "The New York Times." It is very possible that portfolio holdings have changed by the time the document is published.

Jack and Zac
Joe Inglis BVSc MRCVS is the vet for the One Show, This Morning and BBC Breakfast. He runs his own line of natural pet food called Pet's Kitchen
Owning a dog is much more than simply looking after a pet to many people. To many owners dogs are literally one of the family and are involved in all aspects of family life, from everyday activities to holidays, travel and even, in some cases, work.
In my case my dog Jack is not just very much at the heart of the family he's also at the heart of my pet food business Pets' Kitchen. Jack comes into work at Pets' Kitchen with me when I'm not in the surgery and spends his days patrolling the warehouse hovering up stray biscuits and generally keeping an eye on his pet food empire!
Having such a close relationship with my own dog definitely helps me empathise with clients at work who feel equally strongly about their own canine companions, especially when things get difficult. At times like these empathising with the owners can help me understand what they are going through and be more sensitive in how I approach their case, but it also has its downside as I can share their sadness and stress…..

Fla. Gov. promises tax cuts
Published: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 11:26 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 11:26 a.m.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Rick Scott is kicking off a tour pushing $500 million in planned tax cuts around the state as he heads into what could be a tough re-election fight.
Scott recently announced plans to ask legislators to cut taxes next year but hasn't specified which taxes and fees he wants to cut. He's expected to release more details at press conferences in South Florida on Tuesday.
The Republican governor says he maintained a budget surplus in 2014 and wants to use some of the extra revenue to cut taxes. Scott has sought tax cuts every year he has been in office, but his initial efforts encountered stiff resistance from fellow Republicans in the Legislature.
The proposal may also help reconnect him to the conservative base that propelled him to victory three years ago.

Suppose $p:[0,1]\to \mathbb C$ is a curve where $p(t)=u(t)+iv(t)$ and $u,v$ are smooth functions of $t$. Why then is $$\left(\int_0^1 \langle \dot{p},\dot{p}\rangle^{1\over 2} dt\right)^2\le \int_0^1 \langle \dot{p},\dot{p}\rangle dt$$ for any inner product $\langle ,\rangle$ and equality is achieved iff $\langle \dot{p},\dot{p}\rangle=c$ for some $c$?
My first thought is Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, but I am not too sure how it applies.

4th April 2013
We have done all the adventure stuff, it was time for some comfort when we camped. After a couple of cheaper, single layer beds that either collapsed over night or mysteriously got punctures, wanted something deeper & more robust. Were delighted with it, appears to be constructed of better quality materials, and the depth is a real bonus. Quick to inflate/deflate with a very small electric pump. Will not get used properly till Aug. but do NOT expect opinion will change.@pusscatglen Great review thanks, you're right the Campingaz raised extra quickbed double is super comfy and quick to erect, I use one at home as well for visitors

- Nice comfy bed

Easy and quick to inflate but takes an age to deflate. Really difficult to pack away due to deflating. Very comfortable and a good size. Didn't go down at all. Larger than you think which can present a problem.@Kitty kat The Campingaz Raised X'tra Quickbed Double airbed will stay up all night! Great for camping or as an extra bed at home

Event Detail
Thievery Corporation
event description
Spend a day with Thievery Corporation's Eric Hilton and Rob Garza and you might hear them make reference to David Cope, the university professor who studies music and artificial intelligence, or mention Garza's travels to Sudan and Nepal, or explain why The Clash's London Calling may just be the best-produced album in rock history. So it's not surprising that Hilton and Garza's thoughtful curiosity about the world finds its way into their sophisticated, impeccably crafted musical soundscapes that reflect not only their broad appreciation for diverse styles of music (everything from Brazilian bossa nova and Jamaican dub reggae to vintage film soundtracks and psychedelic space rock), but also their take on the complicated times in which we live.
Since banding together 16 years ago, these two independent thinkers have taken a DIY approach to their musical and cultural interests, which has led to the formation of their own record label, ESL Music, through which Thievery Corporation release recordings by a slew of international artists, such as Federico Aubele, Ursula 1000, and Thunderball, as well as their own recordings. The label is run out of the basement of a Gothic-style three-level townhouse in Washington, D.C., that is also home to Thievery Corporation's recording studio, which is filled with the latest high-tech gear as well as vintage guitars and Moog keyboards. The studio is where the two songwriters and producers have crafted their own output: six studio albums, three compilations, and numerous EP's and singles — an impressive body of diverse work that has made Thievery Corporation one of the most influential and respected names on the electronic/dance music scene.
In June, the duo will release its sixth studio album, Culture of Fear — a cinematic-sounding inquiry into space rock that straddles the sweet spot between funk and soul, with a bit of dub and reggae thrown in for good measure. The title track, featuring vocals/lyrics by rapper Mr. Lif, comments on the fact that, nearly 10 years after 9/11, "everyone is afraid of everything," Hilton says. "People are living like wimps. The terror level is always at orange. Now we've got body scanners in airports. Somehow the whole country's been spun into this pointless web of fear." Adds Garza: "People have learned to be subservient to the system, automatically taking their shoes off at airports. Our message with this album is that there really is nothing to fear. The things we're being told to fear aren't what we should fear. The intrusion into your day-to-day rights and privacy are a whole lot scarier."
Culture of Fear continues to address the socially conscious themes that Thievery Corporation have explored since 2002 when they released their third studio album, The Richest Man in Babylon, which incorporated protest music into their sound. They followed Babylon with 2005's The Cosmic Game, which featured politically minded collaborations with Perry Farrell, Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne, and David Byrne. In 2008, the duo paid homage to people's resistance movements around the world with Radio Retaliation — setting a think-for-yourself agenda to eclectic sounds from Jamaica, Latin America, Asia, and The Middle East. The album, which questioned the profit-driven mentality of corporate media, earned Thievery Corporation a Grammy Award nomination for Best Recording Packaging.

Drug test all the employees
February 9, 2014
Douglas Amundson, Minot I had a very good laugh when I read the park board article about drug testing of all employees with the exception of the administration staff....
I guess I should feel flattered that the letter writer cut and pasted my exact same comment to that news article. LOL
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Exactly. The influence of management is felt by every subordinate. More important to test Mgt. first, if at all. Let's leave weed out of it. Too many in our city Gov't. r goofier than any weed user i have met.

Those making the decisions and running the affairs of the entity they work for need to be drug free as well. If they are going to test anyone they need to test them all!!!

Its not cheap to have testing done. I believe their goal is to test those that use equipment. City state and county equipment operators with heavy equipment driving licenses are already tested I suspect.

LIONA? Are Liam Payne and Leona Lewis Dating?
Reports are emerging this morning about a possible new One Direction couple in the form of Liam Payne and Leona Lewis!
This comes after many sources reported that Liam had left his girlfriend Danielle of two years recently. Apparently, the One Direction lad is totally loved up with the "Bleeding Love" singer after only 2 dates.
A source said to the Mirror Newspaper:
"As soon as the chance came to ask her out he grabbed it – and they really enjoyed their dates together."
They added:
"Although they were in London they managed to stay out of the limelight and are really into each other."
The age gap of 8 years is nowhere near close to Harry Style's usual rumoured girlfriends, but it's still an impressive difference.
Liam has been very vocal about having an attraction to Leona, often hopping on Twitter to express that Lewis is in fact his "celebrity crush".
Leona has said in the past that she finds the One Direction boys sweet but that they are little bit too young for her. Although after she followed Liam on Twitter they have grown closer, with Miss Lewis having this to say about him:
"I met [Payne] and he is just the sweetest boy – he is so lovely, so I'm really pleased everyone got me to follow him."
Leona was previously dating German dancer Dennis Jaunch, but the pair have drifted apart recently, and talking about whether Liam and Leona would be able to cope with such a high-profile relationship, a source said:
"She would have loved to have seen more of Liam, but his career had to come first. It's sad they've had to part. But you could understand why a woman like Leona Lewis would be able to cope with Liam's superstar status."
No word on whether there is any truth to the rumours, but it seems very quick for Liam to have moved on already, don't you think?

Two Innings Cost Tech Against Campbell
March 7, 2008
PALO ALTO, Calif. - Two innings proved to be the difference as Texas Tech dropped a run-filled contest 11-7 to Campbell Friday afternoon. The Camels scored four runs in the third innings and five more in the fourth to hold off a Red Raider comeback.
With the win, Campbell improved to 16-7 on the year. Whitney Riley paced Tech at the plate by going 2-3 with an RBI. Montana Patin and Jennifer Bowers both finished with two RBI apiece on two-run doubles. Patin finished 1-4 and Bowers was 1-3. Elizabeth Eimen added an RBI as she saw her three-game hitting streak snapped. Tye Coats (2-7) picked up the loss in the circle.
Things looked promising for the Red Raiders in the early going as they plated the first run of the game in the bottom of the second when Riley came in on an error from the Campbell catcher. The Camels came back with four runs of their own to go ahead 4-1. Tech fought back with two runs in the third when Megan Shupp and Leah Legler came in on Patin's double to right center. That would be all Tech would get in the inning as Campbell's Lauren Stephan settled in to retire the next two hitters and end the inning.
Two errors cost Tech in the fourth as the Camels capitalized with five runs, four of which were unearned. They added another run in the fifth to extend their lead further. The Red Raiders fought back once again, however, with two runs in the bottom of the fifth. Legler singled and eventually came in on a Riley single. Devin Zaragoza added the second run when she came in on a fielder's choice off the bat of Eimen.
After Campbell tacked on a run in the seventh, Tech mounted another comeback attempt by putting two on with just one out. Bowers' double with two outs brought in Jenny Krause and Riley, but the Camels forced a groundout to end the game.
The Red Raiders will be right back in action as they take on North Dakota State at 8 p.m. CT. Fans can catch the action live via www.texastech.com.

She took them over the weekend, the glasses were not able to be fixed, she wrote me a note stating my son was receiving 2 new pairs of glasses with his prescription, and I didn't have to worry about paying for them. Also, that his brother was getting a pair of sunglasses so he wouldn't feel left out. She works special hard with all the children and is such a wonderful person who really cares about our children. Without her I would have never been able to get my son's glasses that he needs to wear everyday. Also, her parent/teacher communication is the best.

We were so Excited when she transferred over to Bay High and even more Excited when we found out that she was my daughter's Geometry teacher. She pulled me on the side one day and told me that my daughter was struggling with the course but, she was willing to tutor her so that she can keep up. I thank her very much for taking the extra time to help my daughter get that extra push that she needs as well as keeping me informed on how she has progressed or if she needs additional help.
Jennifer Christensen - (Bay Haven, 5th) - This is my first year at Bay Haven and I was very scared about who was going to be my teacher, who was going to be nice to me but when I got to know her she was very kind and considerate.

This is why I want my teacher to win the Golden Apple Award. Erica West (Breakfast Point Academy, 5th) - I have been honored to see Mrs. West begin her amazing career, and ten years later still look at her teaching abilities in awe. She never leaves the school before 4:30 and is there every Saturday and Sunday. She is 100% dedicated to the learning process of her children. She knows what they need to learn and become better individuals. I am blessed to learn from her as a fellow educator, and was doubly blessed because she taught my son to read after struggling for so many years. Every year I make the same statement to the kids in her class. You have the best teacher in the world.
Amanda Baggett (Ponce de Leon High School, 11th & 12th) - Mrs. Amanda Baggett is one of the best teachers to ever grace the halls of PDLHS. She is always happy smiling, which spreads to her students, no matter how their day is going. After just one semester out of my long experience with her, I was able to fully grasp and master algebra concepts that other teachers could not help with. Even though I no longer have her for a teacher, I and other students still go to her for any help we may need for other mathematics classes, even college level classes like my Trigonometry class.
Andrea Kopp (St. John Catholic School, middle grades) - Mrs. Kopp is a fun and energetic teacher. She always has something creative for us to do. Her best teacher feature is that she cares about each and every one of her students. She looks out for everyone because she is always thinking of us first.

She also makes literature fun by giving us her honest opinion about the characters that we read about. Mrs. Kopp is awesome.

Jeaneen Boutwell (Rutherford High School, 10th) - She is an inspiration for me going to school. Even though we take notes everyday, her class is very enjoyable with her and my fellow classmates. Her lectures are very interesting like the wives of Henry the 8th or Louis the 14th.
Angela Pfeiffer (Seward High School) - Mrs. Pfeiffer has been such a great influence to all the students and staff at Seward High. If it weren't for her hard work I wouldn't be moving on with my life. I want others to know how positive she is to everyone and her positive words.

Jay Bidwell (Wewahitchka High School, 9-12th) - Jay Bidwell has been teaching and coaching at Wewahitchka High School for twenty-two years. I have watched him in action in the classroom, on the coaching field and court and what impresses me the most is when others say it is impossible to achieve, Jay not only shows that where there is a will there is a way; he proves to the child or team, that yes you can and you will succeed at whatever you set your mind to! In the classroom, no one is left behind...Spanish-if there is a word or phase a student needs to know for a lesson, he will have them jumping like frogs, are dancing the cockroach dance until the learning is achieved. On the basketball court or track/cross country fields, he encourgages and pushes each child to reach his potiential. It doesn't matter if is the so called star of the team or a beginner who just wants to better himself and become healthier. His motto is (in the classroom and on the couching field): MOTIVATE THE MIND AND THE BODY WILL FOLLOW!

For the 2nd electoral cycle in a row, The Republicans blew opportunities in senate races. The turning point in in the 2012 race, was Todd Akins winning the nomination for Senate in Missouri. The Democrats made this possible by supporting Todd Akins with ads. He went on to defeat John Brunner and Sarah Steelman. The latter 2 were electability and would have easily defeated Sen. Claire McCaskill. The Democrats knew that Akins was not an electable. The gambit work as Akins made offensive comments about rape and went on to lose. Senate Republicans now vow that there will be no more Todd Akins in future elections.
Read their lips: no more Todd Akins.
In the wake of the GOP's Election Day beatdown, influential Republican senators say enough's enough: Party leaders need to put the kibosh on the kind of savage primaries that yielded candidates like Akin — and crippled Republican prospects of taking the Senate in two straight election cycles.
It's time, they say, for Washington bosses to be more assertive about recruiting and then defending promising candidates. They argue that it's critical to start enlisting local conservative activists as allies and to ease the tea party versus Washington dynamic that's wreaked havoc on the party.
All easier said than done, of course. Tea party types have relished showing the chosen candidates of the Washington establishment a thing or two — and it's hard to see them laying down arms overnight. But after a sure-bet election in 2012 turned into an electoral disaster, Republicans say resolving their primary problem is, well, their primary problem.
Now, top Republicans are considering splitting the difference between the heavy hand they wielded in 2010 that prompted sharp blowback from the right and their mostly hands-off approach of 2012. Both strategies produced a handful of unelectable candidates, so senators are gravitating toward a middle ground: engage in primaries so long as they can get some cover on the local level.
One thing I dispute from this article is that Todd Akins was a Tea party candidate. He wasn't since the Tea Party in Missouri supported Sarah Steelman. Akins was from the Santorum/Huckabee/Bush big government Progressive wing of the GOP. He would have lost a run off election. That is what is needed, mandatory run off elections if no candidate gets 50%. This will prevent a loon like Akins or an obvious false flag candidate like Sharon Angle from getting near a Senate candidacy.
Another item needed to make sure the Senatorial 2010 and 2012 debacles is message discipline. All new candidates should be given instructions on how to answer trap questions. Hopefully the GOP learned its lesson for 2014 and there will be no more Akins/Angle ssituation.

Supercharged Towing - The Right Supercharger For Towing, Low RPM, And Power Under Load
Superchargers are not just for high speeds, they are used extensively in vehicles that do a lot of low end work, hauling and towing, vehicles under load, especially in the mountains. The Whipple twin screw supercharger is the one we find the best for this kind of work, because of the instant boost at low rpm, and the constant availability of full boost all the way through the powerband, the rpm range - with no sudden surges of power to upset your driving. las vegas payday loans

The 2014 National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions held at the Las Vegas Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, runs May 12-17 and Team Colorado/New Mexico bounced back strong in Wednesday action, winning 4 of 5 contests.
108 lbs.- Aaron Perez Colorado/New Mexico won (points) vs Corey Thomas, Mid-South
123 lbs.- Charles Williams, Colorado/New Mexico lost (points) vs Michael Stoute, New York Metro
152 lbs.- Reyes Marquez Colorado/New Mexico won (points) vs Malik Hawkins, Washington D.C.
165 lbs.- Marquis Moore, Colorado/New Mexico won (points) vs Ghazi Muhammad, Wisconsin
201 lbs.- DeRae Crane, Colorado, New Mexico won (points) vs Devon Henry, Tri-State
Results for Team Colorado/New Mexico will be posted HERE, daily.
Saturday night on HBO beginning at 8:15 p.m. MST, Denver's own Mike '303' Alvarado (33 years-old and 34-2, 23 KO's) steps in the ring with legendary Mexican champion Juan Manuel Marquez (40 years-old and 55-7-1, 40 KO's) in a welterweight challenge (catch-weight of 144 lbs.) held at the 'Forum' in Inglewood, California.
The Top Rank (Bob Arum) main event is scheduled for 12 rounds, stamina being the probable deciding factor in the outcome of this bout with the youth, size and strength of Alvarado giving him the slight edge.
Both Alvarado and Marquez have much riding on this fight, it being a guaranteed barn-burner.
Most feel the winner of Saturday's Alvarado/Marquez bout has positioned himself for a shot at Manny Pacquiao, Arum probably hoping to see Marquez the victor that setting up Pacquiao vs Marquez V in what would be a huge PPV event.
Whether or not Mike '303' Alvarado pulls off the upset, as long as he shows himself prepared and on top of his game, he is looking at a major rematch against Brandon Rios, that Alvarado/Rios trilogy an appealing thought to most boxing fans.
Look for the Alvarado upset by way of unanimous decision.
The undercard is of little interest other than the talented Manuel Damairias Lopez (5-0, 4 KO's) from Denver taking on Cameron Kreal (4-5-2, O KO's) in a scheduled for 4 rounds light welterweight bout that won't go the distance, Lopez improving to 6-0, with 5 KO's.
Young Lopez is on track to becoming one of the light welterweight divisions rising stars and should be closely followed.

Woody Herman: Wild Root
Wild Root
Woody Herman (clarinet)
Blowin' Up A Storm: The Columbia Years 1945-1947 (Columbia/Legacy C2K 65646)
Woody Herman (clarinet), Flip Phillips (tenor sax), Bill Harris (trombone), Pete Candoli (trumpet),
(clarinet) Sonny Berman, Irv Lewis, Ray Linn, Neal Hefti (trumpets), Ed Kiefer, Ralph Pfeffner (trombones), Sam Marowitz, John LaPorta (alto saxes), Pete Mondello (tenor sax), Skippy DeSair (baritone sax), Billy Bauer (guitar), Tony Aless (piano), Chubby Jackson (bass), Dave Tough (drums).
Composed by Neal Hefti.
Recorded: New York, September 8, 1945
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
Once upon a time, an alternate take of "Wild Root" was the more commonly heard performance whenever the title would be reissued by Columbia, probably an accident since it is marked Take 1. It's is a perfectly good performance, but Take 2, the original choice for issue, is clearly the gem. The solos by Flip Phillips, Bill Harris, Herman himself and Pete Candoli show each at the top of his form, and the band blasts through this Neal Hefti original with the force of a rocket blasting through space. If you know someone who has never heard any recordings of the First Herd, this is the place to start.

Adrien Broner and his trainer Mike Stafford before the Saturday clash with Paul Malignaggi said they thought after the dust settled, the combatants could, if not be best buddies, then find some common ground. Broner said he'd whup Paulie and then take him out for a steak. After the fight, in which Broner didn't whup the Brooklyn-bred fighter, and won a split decision, with one judge heavily rewarding Paulie's considerable volume edge over Broner's power edge, Malignaggi was in no mood for hugs, even figurative ones, from Broner.
The Cinci boxer didn't exactly move the mood in a direction of serenity when he announced that he beat Paulie and took his girl, which was a reference to the seamy and unseemly brouhaha during the buildup to the fight over a woman who supposedly canoodled with Paulie, but then took up with Broner afterwards.
During the postfight presser, Malignaggi, who bless his soul can't help himself but speak truth to power, didn't back off tremendously from what he declared int he ring after the fight, that the judge who saw Broner a 117-111 winner was too enamored of Broner's advisor, Al Haymon.
Malignaggi did reduce the directness of his assertion at the early-morning presser, but not by much. His advisor Anthony Catanzaro hadn't been imbued with an overdose of acceptance by the next morning, either. He told TSS: "We saw the flaws in Broner before the fight, which is why we took it, and Paulie exposed those flaws," he said. "We were called crazy for making the fight from so-called experts and we along with the gladiator Malignaggi proved everyone wrong. The politics of boxing won last night, nothing or no one else won!"
Catanzaro said that Broner threw kidney punches and tried to knee his fighter and should have been penalized. No, sleeping on it didn't lessen his belief that his guy won. "The so called future face of the sport got a gift," he said.
Indeed, Malignaggi was the better and busier man in many minutes of many rounds. He threw more, 843-524, and judge Tom Miller rewarded that, with a 115-113 score in favor of Malignaggi. But judge Glenn Feldman (115-113 Broner) and especially Tom Schreck (117-111 Broner) liked that Broner landed more 246-214, and liked his power punching (214 to 94 for Paulie). I Tweeted as the cards were tallied at Barclays that we'd see scores in the 117-111, 116-112 range, simple because I knew that the judges would be swayed by that two or three times in most rounds when Broner connected on an obvious power punch. PauIie's sweaty head sends a spray signal that rewards his foes, that tells judges that the other guy landed clean. I wouldn't say Broner got a gift, as the two "Broner" judges were within their bounds rewarding his "effective" aggression...but I came away more impressed with Malignaggi than ever before. He's said that he thinks he is an underachiever, because he didn't get the promotional push he deserved early on in his career, but I think I'd still label him an overachiever, because what he managed to do against the super-skilled Broner, with the lack of power he is saddled with, is immensely admirable.
The Malignaggi crew, including Catanzaro and partner Steve Bash, do deserve some mea culpas from people who called them crazy, and stupid. Their guy got half a million more to fight Broner than he would have gotten to fight Shane Mosley, Mosley's style and the fact that he isn't shot could have resulted in a loss, and Paulie came pretty damned close to knocking off the next big thing. If he'd beaten Mosley, nobody would have been impressed, anyway. And what's with the ball-busting on people who decide to take the biggest challenge? People play fantasy advisor and hammer them when they take the toughest fight available, and the same people would have crapped on them for taking on a "shot" Mosley. I guess it's best course of action to ignore it, be secure if you can in knowing you did the right thing by your heart and taking some small solace in a healthy payday.
I continue to be amazed and impressed with Malignaggi's inability to filter himself. Watching the tightened lips on the faces of certain people at the postfight presser as Malignaggi talked about the supposed extra love Al Haymon fighters get, and how he shouldn't have gotten paid less than Broner and how irked he was that that he wasn't allotted more prime tickets at Barclays is marvelous theatre of discomfort. Malignaggi is a certified character, as an entertainer, as a boxer, and the sport will have lost something when he exits the stage.
Feel free to follow Woods on Twitter.
No gift here, simply that kind of fight.
I don't like bringing much attention to it because it's partly designed for that but Team Broner is truly a genuine obnoxious, antagonizing group of people. It goes past entertainment into downright absurd distasteful nonsense.
Broner's obese midget father should spend less time brushing and more time doing cardio. Fat punk....
Broner is a strong tough talented kid
but he better learn to box in all sense of the word
because if he thinks he's gonna stand stand in there and take shots
from guys like Matthysse, Garcia , khan , rios,
Alvarado, pacman, jmm and so on then he'll be asleep faster than
I was Friday night off of 7 Crown and Cokes.
Totally agreed. One of two things will happen in a Garcia match up. Danny will outright ....no dipusting ....beat Broner's hair brushing gimmick into full submission or.....he'll force him to quit the bullshitting ....and take his game to another level. Either way, I got Garcia handling 'dat azzzzzzz'! Too good-- too mature-- just enuff experience. War Team Garcia. His Dad can be a bit much but gotta love Lil' Danny....
His da is a bit crazy and disrespectful it is annoying.
But u gotta hype to sell fights.
I'd take Garcia as well.
Among many others.
Broner reminds me if that jv player who has
been playing with less competition for a year and then when he steps up
he is overwhelmed and out of his league.
This was paulie who most can say took 5 rounds legitimately.
With an elite ww or jr ww broner is in trouble.
Also blame the powers that be. They are letting Broner clown as he does. It is the greedy-@$$ GBP that is allowing this. Like in other sports, when a playa got too darn silly, he got docked for misbehavioring. GBP doesn't give ant's @$$ about Broner. When he is exposed and taken down, GPB will then criticize his wild, juveniled behavior. Holla!
And Paulie should be salty it's only been a day.
That's what competitors do.
**** I'm still salty of a state tournament game we blew
my senior year.
It's when a fighter or athlete stops caring is when he's in trouble.
I felt Paulie dipped and slipped, threw 3-8 punch combinations, gave angles, used footwork to keep his range and distance, and when Broner closed in he would smother him, hold, or give a forearm or shoulder shove. Very good game plan. He used range and offbeat timing to never let Broner find his distance and timing. Broner looked fat, slow, and one-dimensional in there. Paulie saw everything coming. Great article EM.
The result is disputable it could have gone either way depending on how you look at; it all comes down to subjectivity. But Broner did not land 241 punches, he didn't control the ring, and he should have been penalized. As for Paulie's post fight comments, I hope he is not penalized. Someone speaking the truth against the system should be rewarded. Broner is classless, when he gets knocked out by the elite WW GB better not give him any special treatment. But we all know they will
broner is crap. what is everyone so juced about ? it has to be because you all werent around 30 / 40 yrs ago . even a cream puff like paulie stayed with him and to me won the dec or at least a draw.. broner and that slob father of his ought to take some lessons in class .. what a crew of bums..
I'm about ready to rock 4-0, kidcanvas. So I hear you about Broner. His behavior is crap, and that is a rap. His punching was flaunting slap, slap! Paulie exposed him. He should go down. Holla!
broner and that slob father of his ought to take some lessons in class ..
Some things you can't teach
That is the way it rolls, TGD. When it goes your way, NO BEEF! When it goes against you -- "BEEF LIKE A muthapucka," my Tio Mamoy said. Darn live is so topsy-turvy. Holla!
Lmfao@ the Tio Mamoy comment . I totally heard his accent as I read that. Hilllllllllariiiious. Good mention too about Paulie getting his gift. Like I said, don't forget also how obnoxious and crude Paulie himself once acted. Followed this cats career since the jump... Got plenty of his early bouts on VHS... Homey was an annoying Jersey Shore type character himself. To his credit ..he's matured ... He's aged like fine wine ....kinda sorta.... Lol..... But make no mistake about it the guy use to be a an over the top clown himself. He was showing bits and pieces of it in the build up... Also during the fight itself. He looked like a eeffffffin' moron sticking his tongue out and making those funny faces. So yea, to Paulie I say...stfu and take your loss like a man.
Ya paulie was obnoxious enough to embarrass me back then.
I'm a fellow talley, half talley they call me but his behavior
years ago was embarrassing at times.
We all grow up, usually and it's nice to see paulie mature
and grow to a sense. He fought a good fight and he's right about
boxing we have witnesses corruption for years.
That's the game Although its tough to stomach at times
no matter who is wronged.
Broner is an idiot, more so for having5 kids from 5 women than his antics
in the ring an out of it.
Yes those antics are tiresome and dudes jokes bomb.
I ignore it now.
He's good enough to let his fighting do the talking at this point.
Paulie was complaining about the 117-111 scorecard, not the loss. The fight did NOT go 9 rounds to 3. Nope.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Predict Changes in the Euro–Dollar Exchange Rate
Interest rate
Remember, interest rate is a portfolio flow–related factor. Think of yourself as an investor who is deciding between a dollar- and a euro-denominated investment opportunity (with the same risk). Because the main subject is portfolio investment, the interest rate considered here is the real interest rate.
The real interest rate is defined as the difference between the nominal interest rate and the inflation rate.
This model predicts that the currency of the country with the higher real interest rate will appreciate. As an investor, and at the given exchange rate, you decide to invest in a security that gives you a higher real return. Suppose that the Euro-zone's real interest rates are higher. The figure shows the implications of this change on the euro–dollar exchange rate.
When you look at the demand and supply curve, identify the investors along these curves. As the real interest rate on Euro-denominated securities increases, investors' demand for dollar-denominated securities declines. Therefore, the demand for the dollar declines. In terms of the supply of dollars, investors are inclined to sell their dollars in exchange for euros to buy euro-denominated securities.
The supply curve for dollars increases. Both an increase in the supply curve and a decrease in the demand curve lead to the appreciation of the euro (or the depreciation of the dollar).

I was wondering if this was technically possible in English. I did not know if there are specific grammar rules that would make an infinite sentence impossible.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The answer is no. A sentence needs punctuation. After that punctuation it is over. A sentence fragment can be infinite but not a whole sentence because it has to end.
According to Wikipedia, such a sentence is theoretically possible.
In practice, of course, though the clauses and other structures of even the longest sentence may be notionally separated by such typographical devices as semi-colons, dashes, parentheses and so, in practice that sentence will consist of shorter sentences which might as well be marked off at intervals by full stops/periods as by the various pseudo-periods I've just mentioned.
There is no reason that a computer couldn't be coded to write a recursive sentence along the lines of
with a simple k + 1 increase, indefinitely extended. Of course, a machine wouldn't reach infinity with that operation, any more than computers calculating π or simply counting integers ever would.
But more to the point, it's hard to argue that such a sentence has any theoretical interest, since it amounts to a snippet of language infinitely repeated with one minor and predictable variation in each iteration. Is it grammatically correct? Sure. Is it coherent? Enough so that no one would be tempted to spend more than an extremely finite period of time reading it. But so what?
The problem with the most obvious infinitely long sentences is that their trajectory is too boringly easy to comprehend, not that they are overwhelmingly complicated. And the direction of the simple case is enough to persuade me that the undertaking itself isn't very interesting.
A sentence is only grammatically correct if it can be mentally parsed by speakers/readers of the language in question. Even a sentence with 7+ levels of nested clauses fails to be grammatically correct in this sense, so forget about infinite sentences.
There is no theoretical limit on the length or depth of a sentence. But
There are many constructs to generate infinite sentences:
Maybe you could have a sentence that goes on and on and on and on and .... and on and on and on for an infinitely long time and then stops.

Sci-fi and "Mad Max" fans, calm down. The wait is finally over. The 2015 George Miller (original "Mad Max") written/directed reboot/remake has a full-length trailer to keep us happy for at least a little while. This was released at Comic-Con and just hit the internet today. This modern version will star Tom Hardy ("The Dark Knight Rises") in the lead role of Mad Max and with him we get Charlize Theron ("Promethus") as Imperator Furiosa. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley ("Transformers: Dark of the Moon") will get another crack at a summer blockbuster in this one as Splendid. If you have never seen the original movie the plot is pretty basic: the world had an apocalyptic event and is now a very barren, desert-like environment. To most, things like gas and water are worth killing for, and many do. In this modern version you get a couple of rebels who play by their own rules; which is pretty much a way of life.
If you recall, the original from 1979 starred Mel Gibson and was something of a "cult classic". It had a really supportive fan base but was not a huge financial success in the United States, grossing a little over $8 million in a limited run. It was the film that jump-started Gibson's acting career and the fans supported several sequels and spinoffs. Filmmakers are certainly hoping to draw in fans of the original and maybe start a new franchise for a new generation.
Take a peek at the new trailer in all its glory as you mark one more day off the countdown to May 15, 2015. What do you think? Will this be a decent reboot? Do you think fans of the original will enjoy a modern-day version of one of their classic films? Will this be a box office success? One of the things that made the original so good was the post-apocalyptic world. Over the last couple decades there have been many movies with similar plots. Will this have the same effect as it did in 1979? Sound off in the comments section below.
