ELYRIA — For a few minutes Tuesday, the notoriously gruff Sandi Laubenthal let her guard down.
"You have no idea how hard this is," Laubenthal, owner of Moss' Prime Rib & Spaghetti House, said about her decision to close the landmark downtown restaurant April 13. "It's even hard for me to talk about."
Moss' opened in 1958 and Laubenthal relocated it down the street to 525 Broad St., when she bought it in 2001. Laubenthal blamed the Great Recession and the weakest economic recovery since the Great Depression for the closing.
"I've done everything in my power to keep us afloat," she said. "It's just gotten to the point where there's nothing left to keep afloat."
Laubenthal wouldn't say how many workers she employs but said she was grateful to them for sticking with her through tough times. "I'm the luckiest person in the world to have the staff that I have," she said.
Laubenthal wouldn't say whether her finances played a part in her decision. In February, FirstMerit Bank sued Laubenthal, saying she defaulted on a loan and owes $124,297 plus interest. Laubenthal owes Lorain County $22,746 in taxes, including $15,164 in back taxes, for the 525 Broad St. property.
In November, Laubenthal tried to auction off the 18,000-square foot building that includes Moss', a vacant second floor and Laubenthal's third-floor apartment. Laubenthal sought $134,000 and said she had "no intention of closing" but wanted to transfer ownership.
What effect the closing will have on downtown revitalization efforts is unclear. Tamela Grubb, program director of Main Street Elyria, a nonprofit downtown booster group, and Mayor Holly Brinda didn't return calls Tuesday.
Moss' chef Gary Bainbridge said he had hoped that the $10,000 facelift and publicity from Moss' appearing on "Restaurant Impossible" on the Food Network in October 2011 might rejuvenate business. But Bainbridge, an employee since 2008, said the number of customers is dwindling. He blamed it on a combination of a stagnant economy, competition from suburban restaurants and the many closed downtown businesses.
"You no longer have a destination point in downtown Elyria," Bainbridge said. "It would've been great if we were big enough to be that destination point."
Bainbridge said while the number of customers has been down, there are a loyal group of regulars.
"They're awesome," he said. "They're the reason we've been here this long."
Bainbridge said Laubenthal's abrasiveness — a "Restaurant Impossible" promo described her as "bullish and stubborn" — didn't hurt business. He said she resurrected the restaurant by moving it from its original location at the intersection of Cedar and East Broad streets and repairing the property at its current home.
"I've never met a successful business owner that couldn't be difficult. The toughness just kind of comes with the territory," Bainbridge said. "If you let people walk on you, you're not going to be successful. And I promise you, they don't walk on Sandi."

Eric Cantor is no ideological moderate. Yet Cantor, overly smug and confident in office, lost to a tea party challenger because he failed to protect his right flank.
The lesson most Republican politicians will draw from Cantor's defeat is that even the most tepid temporizing on an issue of importance to ultra-conservatives, such as the majority leader's flirtation with immigration reform, can lead to defeat in Republican primaries, where only the most dedicated and the most conservative vote. Cantor's colleagues, reading the tea leaves, will conclude that moving to the right is the best, and the only, guarantee for staying in office.
Sixty-five-thousand people voted last Tuesday in Virginia's 7th congressional district. That's 20,000 more than voted in 2012, and most of that increase probably represented people angry at Cantor for one reason or another; most no doubt voted for David Brat, Cantor's opponent. Cantor's internal polling failed to anticipate the increase, which is why the incumbent was confident of victory on election day.
There is another way to read the election turnout. The population of Virginia's 7th congressional district is almost three-quarters of a million people, 550,000 of whom are of voting age and 270,000 of whom are thought to be Republicans. Brat received 36,000 votes, or not quite five percent of all the residents of the district, or just 6.6 percent of the voting age residents, or a little more than 13 percent of all Republicans in the district.
In other words, from any perspective, only a small minority of people in Virginia's 7th congressional district voted to oust Eric Cantor and replace him with David Brat. Yet that small minority has scuttled immigration reform and just about any other action with which extremist Republicans disagree.
The success of extremist candidates like David Brat rests on their success in driving the right-wing base to the polls in primaries. But while a candidate like Brat can attract more voters than usual to low-turnout primaries, the number who vote is still small and it disproportionately influences American politics.
Immigration reform is an example. Recent polls show that 62 percent of Americans favor providing a way for immigrants currently residing in this country to become citizens. This is not just the view of Democrats and independents; 51 percent of Republicans favor a path to citizenship.
With the backing of more than six-in-ten Americans and over half of all Republicans, an immigration reform bill ought to sail through Congress. But it hasn't and it won't, because of the power of a few tea party extremists who vote in primaries.
The same with the minimum wage. Polls show 71 percent favor raising the minimum wage, a total that includes exactly half of all Republicans. But the right is opposed; and congressional Republicans don't dare to vote for an increase.
Of course, it can be argued all this is fair, since ultra-conservatives who oppose immigration reform and raising the minimum wage vote in large numbers, while the rest of America, which favors immigration reform and raising the immigration wage, does not.
But it's not that simple. The power of the few, in this case ultra-conservatives, is magnified by gerrymandering, which gives the Republican Party, and by extension its ultra-conservative wing, control of the House of Representatives. In the last election, Democratic House candidates cumulatively outpolled Republican candidates by about 500,000 votes. Yet Republicans, because of patchwork electoral districts drawn by GOP-controlled state legislatures, control the House 233-199, with three current vacancies. Had electoral districts been fairly drawn, the Democrats would have had a slight advantage in the lower chamber to go along with their control of the Senate and the White House.
Gerrymandered districts give Republicans artificial control of the House of Representatives; low-turnout primaries, in which only the most extreme vote, give conservatives artificial control of the political process. The result: Policies favored by a majority of Americans are defeated and the nation's politics is driven further and further to the right.
This is not how majority rule should work. But it is emblematic of our dysfunctional political system.
It's up to the majority — often a silent majority — to assert itself. And it's up to progressives to figure out how to mobilize that silent majority and get it to the polls to implement meaningful reform favored by most Americans.

Deer-gun season expected to draw 420,000 Ohio hunters starting Monday
Associated Press
Ohio's deer-gun season is expected to draw about 420,000 hunters this year.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources' Division of Wildlife says the hunting week will begin Monday and run through Dec. 2. The season also will include an extra weekend of hunting Dec. 15-16.
Deer can be hunted with a muzzleloader, handgun or shotgun from one half-hour before sunrise to sunset during the season. The state encourages all hunters to take proper safety precautions, such as using safety harnesses in tree stands and wearing hunter orange.
Hunters also are encouraged to donate any extra venison to organizations assisting Ohioans in need.
The Division of Wildlife says hunting has an $859 million economic impact each year in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more.
Wait until next year when BO outlaws gun ownership. Just another industry going by the wayside.
I received my call today from hunters asking to hunt tomorrow. Problem is, they never cleaned up from last year. I had to pick up after them. I never heard from them for the entire year. No one helped to clean the trail, clear brush, cut and stack firewood, or offered any compensation. Yet, they call out of the blue and want to hunt on my land again. Yeah right...not in my lifetime. idiots! It is people like these that give hunters a bad name.

Wilmington small business advisers open Brunswick office
Published: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 11:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 28, 2012 at 4:56 p.m.
SUPPLY | There's nothing more valuable than sound advice when it comes to business matters, especially for small, family run or new companies. This is exactly the service that the nationwide, nonprofit organization SCORE provides for free.
And Brunswick County has scored an office that is operated by the Wilmington chapter. It's on the campus of Brunswick Community College.
"This development will greatly improve our ability to better serve the Brunswick population," explains David Cheek, chair and president of Wilmington SCORE. Cheek, a retired JP Morgan banker from New York, has been associated with SCORE for six years.
"Given my commercial and private banking experiences, my skill sets are a natural fit in supporting the needs of entrepreneurs and business owners," Cheek said.
The Wilmington SCORE office has been operating since 1967. Its main office is on Oleander Drive, run by a team of 27 volunteers who provide confidential, in-person, and over-the-phone consultations for business owners and entrepreneurs.
They are supported by a "blue ribbon" team of professionals who offer advice when an area of business arises that demands a specialist's knowledge or experience.
SCORE provides resources and advice to "assist entrepreneurs in developing the tools and plans they need in order to navigate their way to small business success."
The Wilmington team is delighted to reach out to even more people by partnering with Brunswick Community College. The free counseling service will be available every Wednesday afternoon at the college.
"Brunswick County is experiencing a dramatic growth in terms of business development and the influx of new people to the area. The 'baby boomer' segment is a major contributor, which is why we are so pleased to be able to extend our services," said Cheek, a Wilmington resident for six years.
SCORE is not just for new businesses, but helps those who are looking to expand or develop an existing company too. The list of clients that SCORE has assisted seems endless, from Coastal Cupcakes to Without Limits Coaching, a unique triathlon coaching company, to David Fredericksen, a local writer who runs a magazine for men.
"They go above and beyond the call of duty. They are just amazing and have helped me in so many ways," said Joan Allisen, owner of Tenderlane Timeless Couture, a handmade vintage clothing company.
As the website SCORE.org states, "The advice is free and the knowledge is priceless!"
For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact SCORE at 452-5395.

MIGUEL ANGEL TORRES vs. TAKEYA MIZUGAKI
Live From UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Sunday, April 5
Las Vegas, NV (USA) – It didn't take long for bantamweight challenger Takeya Mizugaki (11-2-2) to realize that he wasn't in Japan anymore. After a 6300-mile journey brought the 25-year-old from Kanagawa, Japan to Chicago, IL this past Saturday, Mizugaki found himself standing in the center of one of the greatest sports towns in the world. Surrounded by images of the hometown Cubs, White Sox, Bulls, and Blackhawks, Mizugaki was in brief awe of the sights and sounds of the Windy City.
When the admiration eventually wore off, reality set in. Mizugaki had not arrived in Chicago to marvel at the picturesque surroundings. Rather, the Japanese striker landed in Chicago to defeat one of the city's most decorated and celebration champions.
"I came here to fight maybe the greatest champion in MMA today," Mizugaki said of WEC® bantamweight champion and Chicago native Miguel Angel Torres (35-1), whom Mizugaki will face this Sunday at the UIC Pavilion. "Fighting in a great sports town like Chicago, I am excited about everything.
"I have never seen Torres lose a fight, but I'm ready for the challenge."
Since stepping foot in Chicago, Mizugaki has quickly adjusted to life in the U.S. and is spending the final week fine-tuning his game plan. Unlike traditional Japanese fighters, Mizugaki prefers an aggressive, stand-up fight and has made sure his striking is on point. Boasting devastating knees and cinder-block fists, the former Shooto veteran is confident that he will ready because his team has studied the strengths and weaknesses of Torres.
Simply put, Mizugaki, who owns a master's degree in electrical engineering, believes he can diffuse the champion's circuits.
"My manager (Shu Hirata) arranged a training session with a bunch of ex-UFC fighters who saw the fight where Miguel lost vs. Ryan Ackerman," Mizugaki said of Torres' lone loss in 2003. "They gave me plenty of useful advice, so I know exactly what I need to do to win. My plan is still the same; I am going to strike. I want to win the WEC belt and I'm prepared to break Miguel down."
Tickets for World Extreme Cagefighting® are on sale now and available for purchase through the UIC Pavilion, online at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling Ticketmaster at 312-559-1212.
World Extreme Cagefighting will be televised live nationally on VERSUS beginning at 9:00pm ET/6:00pm PT. All live WEC events are presented in Hi-Definition (HD) where available. For more information and how to find VERSUS in your local viewing area, visit http://www.versus.com/findversus.
In the co-main event, Island Lake, Illinois' Jeff Curran looks to make his case for a shot at the belt when he battles undefeated phenom Joseph Benavidez.
A longtime favorite of the Midwest fight scene, former WEC featherweight contender and title challenger Jeff "Big Frog" Curran (31-10-1) has long had his sights set on Miguel Torres, and he has even dropped down to the bantamweight division to chase his local rival. There is business to take care of for both men first though, and for Curran, that means his clash with Joseph Benavidez on April 5th. So expect the 30-year old Curran to come out with guns blazing in order to move forward in the crowded bantamweight division.
The 24-year old Joseph Benavidez (9-0) came to the WEC last December with a lot of hype due to his raw talent and impressive previous performances, and he lived up to the expectations with a big win over Danny Martinez. Now the stablemate of former WEC featherweight champion Urijah Faber is ready for the next step in his career, and for him, there would be nothing better than to add the name Jeff Curran to his victims list.

Jamaica is one of the larger of the West Indian islands. It is situated west of Haiti and south of Cuba, and has an area of 10,900 sq km/4,200 sq mi, about half the size of Israel.
It is one of the more mountains islands of the Caribbean, with the highest peaks of the Blue Mountains reaching over 2,300 m/7,500 ft.
The northern slopes of these mountains may have up to 5,000 mm/200 in of rain a year as compared with about 750 mm/30 in on the drier, sheltered south coast (see the table for Kingston).
In spite of the low annual rainfall, the south coast has experienced as much as 250 mm/10 in or more in 24 hours during the passage of a hurricane.

Running against the wind down the irrational alley
Many years ago, my mother had an older friend who had a rather dark complexion, because her father was a descendant of the African slaves employed by the Ottomans, mostly for domestic work, until the late 19th Century. Sadly, this woman had never accepted her heritage or come to terms with her skin color; instead, she was forever resentful to her mother for having married that dark-skinned man, her biological father. It apparently never dawned on her that she was a unique and chance product of those 2 special people and that had her parents never mated with each other, or even, for example, if they had happened to have mated on another night she would not have been born.
What made her mentality especially disturbing to me was that she taught biology at a high school. Imagine having her as a teacher.
Nevertheless, I had always assumed that this woman's distorted notion of her identity was an isolated case and that most normally intelligent adults would not fall into the same logical trap.
Just recently, however, I came upon another example, but this time in a fictional setting. A couple of weeks ago, I started reading the Turkish author Kemal Tahir's novel Esir Şehrin İnsanları*. One of the secondary characters in the book, a Turkish man, visits his ex-wife, an Italian woman who, years earlier, had taken their small daughter and left him. The man goes out to lunch with his daughter, now in her late teens. She doesn't recognize him and is instead under the impression that he is a friend of her father. During lunch, the man asks his daughter what she thinks of her father.
She became sullen. She said she couldn't comprehend how her mother had done such a wrong thing...A Turkish father...I can only hope Kemal Tahir, often labeled an intellectual, was aware of the absurdity of the young woman's thinking.
*People of the Captive City, first published in 1956, is a novel about the incipient nationalist movement in Istanbul after the 1st World War when the city was under British control. As far as I know there is no published English translation of it. A Turkish account of Tahir's life and works is here.

According to a status update shared on Facebook by the Glendora Police Department on Jan. 16, three people have been arrested in connection with the "Colby Fire" burning its way across the Angeles National Forest in the Glendora area of Los Angeles County in California.
The Glendora Police Department Facebook page says that 21-year-old Steven Aguirre, 23-year-old Jonathan Jarrell, and 22-year-old Clifford Henry have been arrested and charged with "unlawfully causing a fire of a structure or forest land." Officials say the three suspects are being held in custody, and that bail has been set at $20,000 each.
Despite having more than 500 firefighters battling it, the "Colby Fire" had already burned 1,700 acres of land within hours of being reported. The blaze has destroyed at least two homes, and injured at least civilian, who reportedly suffered minor burns.
Reports indicate that authorities have closed schools in the area and issued mandatory vaccinations for nearby residents.

For all of those that missed the fight between Nonito Donaire and Guillermo Rigondeaux and want to know every detail of what went down through the 12 rounds we bring you our Round By Round for Donaire-Rigondeaux:
Nonito Donaire is the real deal. Rigondeaux has the amateur credentials of Ivan Drago. Boxing experts call Rigondeaux "The best amateur fighter of all-time." He won a championship in his 7th pro fight. But the 11-0, 122 pound Rigondeaux is about to face his toughest opponent, the top pound-for-pound slugger Nonito Donaire.
Who blinks first? We are about to find out!
Michael Buffer is doing his thing. Donaire is sporting yellow trunks with black strips and Rigo is wearing green with white. (We will call Rigondeaux "Rigo" for short) Here comes the stare down. It's showtime!
Round 1
Action starts quick. Rigo lands a good left hand that knocks Donaire back. The left hand is working well for Rigo. The fight is taking place in the middle of the ring. And Rigo is winning this round. He is landing well. Both fighters are pawing with the jab, using it to unload with vicious shots. These guys are going for the knockout.
Rigo 10-9
Round 2
Action is in center again. Rigo is keeping his distance with the jab. He got Nonito's respect early in the first round. This round is more cautious for both. Rigo lands a great left body shot followed by left to the head. The fight is moving at a pace Rigo likes. He takes round two.
Rigo 10-9
Round 3
Donaire still can't find a way to get inside. He is stalking well but can't get inside. Rigo keeps his distance well. Slips punches and unexpectedly attacked Nonito at the end of the second minute with the straight left. Rigo is out-boxing the master boxer. The fighters' exchange hard shots at the end of the round but Rigo takes another.
Rigo 10-9
Round 4
Donaire uses a sense of urgency in round 4. He lands a good right hand to the body in the second minute. But Rigo is relaxed. Paws the jab and the left hand. In the last twenty seconds the fighters exchange power bombs. Both guys staggered at the sound of the bell.
Rigo 10-9
Round 5
That left hand keeps landing for Rigo. And when they get in the trenches, Rigo does a great job of holding Nonito, keeping the Bay Area native from throwing any inside shots. Jab and pace to the right. Jab and pace to the right. Rigo is in the zone. This is not an action round, just good boxing for Rigo. Donaire needs to change something quick.
10-9 Rigo
Round 6
The action is tense and Donaire looks confused. He pressures Rigo but can't find the target. A massive left hand in the middle of the round rocked Donaire. But he takes it well and continues to attack with little success.
Rigo 10-9
Round 7
Donaire landed three punches in round six. He needs to be more aggressive but can't get inside. It's the same story. This is a game of cat and mouse. This time the cat stalked well enough to win. The round goes to Donaire because of Rigo's inactivity.
10-9 Nonito
Round 8
The action is in center all fight. Donaire can't find Rigo. He stalks and stalks with no success. The round is quiet. The crowd is quiet. And Nonito Donaire's stress level increased.
10-9 Rigo
Round 9
Donaire got hit with a good uppercut in the second minute. Donaire's pressure is consistent. But he keeps eating jabs. Donaire's face is beginning to swell. Rigo is in total command. He stays on the outside and circles out of any pressure.
Rigo 10-9
Round 10
We are near the championship rounds and Donaire has only won one close round. He is coming out strong in this round. Boom! Rigo goes down hard by a vicious left hook. Rigo gets up quick. Donaire stalks hard now. He hits Rigo with another right/left combo to the head. But Rigo is relaxed and comes back with a super straight left that froze Donaire. This is the best round of the fight. Donaire is looking at the show!
10-8 Nonito
Round 11
Nonito is gambling with haymakers. He almost landed with a wide left hand. Rigo is tagging Donaire in this round. He takes control again with the left hand. There is a look of discouragement on Donaire's face at the sound of the bell.
Rigo 10-9
Round 12
Nonito got hit with a solid left straight left hand. His right eye is black and blue and nose bloodied. Rigo is pounding Donaire in round 12. Straight power shots have backed Donaire to the ropes. This round is easy to score.
Rigo 10-9
TSS scores the fight - 118-109
The judges scorecards read
114-113 115-112, 116-111. All in favor of Guillermo Rigondeaux.
Thanks for the recap. I liked it. Short and sweet. I look forward to watching it.
The judges score cards show corruption or inadequate ability to judge a fight. Rigo won 8/9 rounds easy. Donaire should of adjusted at some point and thrown some jabs. Rigo did get on the back foot and counter and Nonito 's face was busted up at the end . The crowd jeered a lot . Rematch?
No rematch... Donaire will not learn what it took Rigor a lifetime to perfect if he had 10 years to practice
Radam, my esteem friend, if Rigo just did his amateur jive, then it was such advanced amateur jive (complete with perfectly placed counters and unerring small shifts of feet) that he completely shut down the supposed P4P king to the point at which he barely looked qualified to be Rigo's sparring partner, and couldn't think of anything new to try, nor find the motivation to try to win on volume and pressure while risking those sharp counters. If the great Nonito couldn't even TRY what a Vito Antuofermo or Michael Katsidis did against every superior boxer they faced, then that is the decisive fact. Plus, regarding "running", Deep, every inside exchange except the knockdown was won by Rigo, who made the very incomplete Donaire move precisely where he wanted him to be, and landed with dramatically faster and more accurate punches, while staying out of Donaire's wheelhouse whenever it wasn't his own choice. I do not like Rigo's low punch output, from an entertainment standpoint, but as a knowledgeable boxing guy, I have to call it like I see it. Kellerman, et al, were right to point out that Nonito hasn't developed the fine skill edge he needs, because he has become the dramatic KO guy, and I have said this for the last year. The criticisms of Rigo are mostly sour grapes. It was a blow-out.
Fighting Rigo is like fighting Hopkins your not going to look good period point blank. I would have told Nonito your going to have to win a boring fight and don't even think about getting a KO. I would have also told him to throw more lead right hands he did that some to the body but I don't think he threw enough of them up stairs. I want to Russell Jr vs Rigo or Gracia vs Rigo at 126 Nonito needs take some time off maybe the rest of the year he has alot going on in his personal life.
114-113, Rigo nearly got the shaft! my son and I watching the fight . my sons says " that fool is quick" who is he ? Guillermo Rigondeaux. Rigo reflexes seems like a light year ahead of Donaire. No rematch Donaire needs to bounce back with fighters who will trade with him.
Hey Doc Mort, just so that you know. Amateurs always make knockout pro-style fighters look like that. Pros cannot found them by one punching and not jabbing. JunJun should have power punched off one and two jabs and followed with one and two jab. As I said before the bout, if Rigo makes The Filipino Flash go back to amateur behavior, Rigo would win. Against a southpaw amateur pro like Rigo, you just jab and end stuff with jabs. Not stand around watching him.
The Flash was an outstanding amateur, not a great one as the Cuban was. Great amateurs can whup pro on off nights and/or in sparring 75 percent of tne time. Amateur sytle change somewhat for the pros and money. Now Rigo will not get many BIG MONEY FIGHTS. No fans will pay to see that jive. They came to see JunJun kayo him. And that is the pro game. Holla!
Excellent post Mortcola...you said what I wanted to say only better.
Deepwater... ShoulderRoll..SouthPaul .........great prediction..
I said earlier Rigondeaux would probably get an upset
But You guys went against the grain and boldly proclaimed that Rigo would school Donaire.
How did you know?
Thank you, sir. I bought into hype. You can't deny a hungry man. Specially a talented one with supposedly the greatest amateur career of all time. Tell you what, though, Rigo needs to step up his output or else Ill lose interest . Good win but somewhat dull.
It's like fighting Hopkins..without the headbutts, holding and fouling....
I am going to smoke a nice Romeo and Julieta in the old Cubans honor .
Yes, Kudos to you all. I'll be heading over to the buffet now...
Last night Kellerman said , "Most of the training between Robert Garcia and Donaire took place over the phone." Anyone know about this?
Not his new home in L.A. He has a new multi-million-dollar crib in Sin City. And he trained in Northern Cal. On the weedends he'd fly home to Vegas to be with Rachel. JunJun is a SoCal hater. Rivary goes on between SoCal and NoCal. JunJun has mad luv for everything NoCal.
And the rivary is a love-hate thing, not something hateful or deadly. Holla!
BTW, over-the-phone training is a big-time culture of the game. The BIG GUN trainers usually come to the local training camp any where from about three-to-six weeks before the bout. Every since there has been phones, this is the way it's been done. And when there where no phones, it was by wiring telegrams. And before that, they probably since pigeons carrying instructions.
Great trainers have many boxers training all over the place, so the BIG DAWG trainer depends on co-trainers. Holla!
Nonito came off like the amateur. No answer, over 12 rounds. Zip. I'm gonna take the unpopular road and say that Rigo used his amateur virtues like a disciplined pro, while Nonito spent 11 1/2 rounds disbelieving what was in front of him, when what he needed to do was swarm with under and over combos, risking the counters. But he was a deer in the headlights. Rigo might have been a cuban "amateur", but he was the more seasoned and intelligent fighter in there. I think our chief contributors are in a state of denial with the taste of sour grapes in their mouths after seeing the P4P great reduced to following and not punching for nearly the entire fight. Yes, Rigo was dull. But he was the master, the true pro, while Donaire was a kid who would't adapt. And I'm sticking to it.
Not to be confrontational, Doc Mortcola, but The Filipino Flash had mental crash and came off as a novice. A seasoned amateur even knows how to adjust. TFF underestimated the aged Cuban, looked for a kayo, that never happens when you are trying to force the issue. Holla!
Rigo is the more disciplined, skilled technician. Nonito has been getting sloppy in his technique and been relying more on his power because of the fruit of his punching power and facing inferior competion. Nonito has not faced any fighter with the skill and intelligence of Rigo who is a master boxer and has full control of his craft. Nonito will need to be 100% focused and disciplined to to have a shot at beating Rigo in a rematch and will have to look to touch the target instead of go for the KO. The Flash has fell into the punchers trap of being drunk off his power and abandoning the suttle nuances and detail of the Sweet Science that makes up the difference in timing and inches. This is exactly what would've happened if Manny faces Floyd. Nonito was gracious in defeat and he will return and dominate the sport of boxing. Whether or not he can defeat Rigo is solely up to him and his level of commitment to his trade. Dueces
@real talk
Great point
Nonito is starting to remind me of Tito here's why. When Trinidad was coming up the boxing ranks he was just boxing not looking for the KO but as time went on and he started to look for the KO and once he fought someone on his skill level who could box like Oscar & B-Hop he got exposed. Same thing with Donaire if just goes in there not looking for the KO I promise u he will beat Rigo it will be a ugly win but a win at the end of the day.
Tito was coming up though in the days where the top promoters actually worked together, I.e. arum and king. We saw nonito against the best top rank had to offer. Nonito should have fought mares. In fact, he should have signed with golden boy and would have been promoted better. Donaire fought too many fights in a short period for being a superstar of today. I know this is the part where my man across the waters interrupts and starts rapping (clown is the real mad rapper if u remember thAt character) but this was too much. The Cuban could be a star but he should fight mares. Saturday was a bad day for throwing wild hooks
What rigo did to nonito is what lil floyd would have done to da tranny I mean manny, a few years ago. Nonito is a great fighter but profited from the sleazy bob arum hype machine. Mares beats jun jun too
Yes sir.........Skills do certainly pay the bills....
Sometimes a new talent arises seemingly out of nowhere, Just when you think you've seen it all and there couldn't possibly be any one in creation who could impress you again....
Just when you think,...... who could possibly display the preternatural "other worldly" boxing skills, coordination and accuracy that boxing fans have been longing to see since a prime Roy Jones,.. or a Pacman... graced the ring.
Talent comes in many different types of varieties....... but you don't have to be a Monk sitting atop Mount Himalaya to comprehend that Rigo is a very special type of fighter.
Some are all around great athletes... who possess a lethal assault package like W Klitschko, others possess an excess of stamina, chin, and heart,.... like Aaran Pryor.
then there are others like Ward can kill you with a thousand cuts from a pen-knife.
EL Chakal is unique in that he is the consumate Matador,.. an Ring Master, a Lion Tamer.
He takes command of the ring, and his opponent can only do what he allows them to do,.. both mentally and physically.
Rigo met Donaire in the Center of the ring at the first bell to provide his opponent with his first lesson, "don't try to fight me toe to toe Kid, or you'll get the worse of it"
And he continued to educate Donaire regarding his limitations.
Whenever Donaire tried to stray from his tutorial by trying to encroach into his space and engage the Master........Rigo desciplined him with straight right Left hands, piercing jabs, body blows and right hooks.... depending on the angle.
or he would disappear like David Copperfield in a puff of smoke...
The Lion Tamer to it up a notch and made Donaire do tricks for the audiences pleasure.... like.... "Run into this right hand"....
or "Catch this right hook with your teeth".
it was a masterful display. and after watching the recording several times... it was a display I will not soon forget.
What impressed me most about Rigo is during the 10th round,... Rigo tried to hold Donaire and straightend his torso as he anticipated the ref to come over and break them up.. and he was blasted by a left hand, dripping wet with bad intentions.
Never make assumptions,.. and protect ourself at all times... Lion trainers get maimed all the time... and even the very best of them get killed by their vicious pets.
it was a sneaky punch.... and As far as I'm concerned the blow was far more legal than what Mayweather did to Ortiz...
But to Rigo's credit he popped right up,.. no complaints...did a little bow... and like a real Lion trainer he went back to show the lion who was really the boss was.
Can't wait to see Rigo again... everything he does in the ring tells a story. The moral of this story.... Just Box em' Donaire,... next time stay focused and BOX!
Nobody is talking about this but Robert Garcia's training may need to come under a little fire after this fight. He has had a list of guys unprepared when facing a decent fighter in the last 3 years. Donaire, Guzman, Viloria, Rios, Margarito. I know he still has a few hitters but I kind of look at him with a raised eye now.
Wow! Good Doctor! That is all I can say -- WOW! Holla!
@the good doctor
All in all, nonito shouldn't have even fought rigo. He should have fought mares and would have made more money. We like boxing in Mexico, he would have had huge numbers against mares. However top rank over worked nonito this year and caught him at a time when he couldn't devote 100 to training. Had he fought a better puncher than rigo he would have been face first on the floor like Plank Man I mean PAC Man. Blame top rank and blame nonito/Garcia for not meeting halfway on training matters.
TioMamoy13 you made alot of great points now Bob Arum is really about to feed him to the sharks watch.
Good Doctor... You make a good point ..
Robert had nothing constructive to say when quizzed by Jim Lampley.
That's because he had nothing in his data base to cope with Rigos' level of poise and technique.
Neither Garcia or Donaire had the experience scope or understanding to comprehend a way out of the hole Rigo was digging.
With the exception of Mikey, Donaire and Vilora....Garcia's stable has been top heavy with fighters who are big on chins, conditioning and heart...
But lack even the most rudimentary semblance of defense.
Guys who end up shot after 5 - 7 on the championship level.
Folks complain about an amateur style...but its usually the pros who relax their standards and gradually get away from fundamentals.
Bottom line Camp Garcia had nothing to reference in terms of Rigos abilities and even if they did it would have taken years of practice to be able to implement the antidote and contend with his style.
Bottomline! Rigo is a great, great amateur. And as the Good Doctor said, if you don't pop continuously with the jab, you are fooling yourself if you think that you are going to kayo Rigo with one shot. Super-great amateurs are into hitting and not getting hit to the max. And risk getting hit. That is why many super-great amateurs cannot crossover to professional fighting and making that BIG PAY!
Rigo will do great and whup dat arse against every professional who fights him stupidly. You don't throw bomb at super-fast amateurs, you shot bullets. And as I said in another post -- as The Good Doctor said above -- you don't lead with wide and underhand syet. You hooked off the JAB. You uppercut off the JAB. And you finish with the JAB. WTF! It is SOOOOOOO EASY! JAB and STAB, conduct a professional boksing lab all night LONG! And you will prove that the great amateur-fighting Cubans don't BELONG! That is, unless, they can crossover to pro styles like Cuban greats:Jose Napoles, Luis Rodriguez, Sugar Ramos, Kid Gavalan and Kid Chocolate.
The only thing that the Filipino Flash did -- ONCE -- was shift punched. And knocked the Cuba the double fudge down. More shift punching off the JAB, and TFF may have gotten Rigo outta there.
The only gun -- in Rob G's stable -- who has a shot iof nterrupting Rigo -- is cool, calm, collected, sweet JABBING Mikey Garcia. And that is, of course, if Rigo moves up in weight for the bout. It will be like be Carlos Monzon destroying Jose Napoles -- the greatest pound-for-pound Cuban professional pugilist ever. Holla!
Nonito was the amateur on Saturday night. Amateur in his preparation, amateur in letting top rank overwork him in 2012, amateur in not fighting Abner mares, and amateur in his excuse after the fight, and amateur in letting his wife discuss the sweet science and making him look well..amateur. Hats off to Rigondeaux, Cuba, and anyone that ever loved the sweet science.
Here is Rachel donaire from espnboxing.com
So, is there a rematch in the future, near or far, with Rigo? The Donaires don't seem to be that enthused by the prospect. Nonito has fought a bunch of risk-averse types recently, and some foes who will take it to him, like a Juan Manuel Lopez, for example, would make for more fan-friendly encounters, and play better to his style. "We're taking nothing away from Rigo, but that style of fighting is mostly for the purist fans, which are something of a dying breed," she told me. "He can fight that way his whole career, that's fine, but that's not what a lot of the fans want."
I can't wait for miss Jackson to start talking about the science of the fight game too..ugh save me lol
if that's what amateur boxing is,... then many boxers need to return to their roots to learn how to box again.
YUP! And they would be broke, dumb a$$es! Even amateur boxing is going back to be more like the pros. You need to inform yourself. Just like back before 1983, they have gone back to no headgears. And three judges are scoring the rounds 10 points or less. And now the pros can fight in the next O Games. Rigo will change to pro-style boxing, or he will be kicked to the curve.
A change is a coming back to the future of way, way back in the day of old school! Catch up! Smarten up! And don't hate! Holla!
YUP! And they would be broke, dumb a$$es! Even amateur boxing is going back to be more like the pros. You need to inform yourself. Just like back before 1983, they have gone back to no headgears. And three judges are scoring the rounds 10 points or less. And now the pros can fight in the next O Games. Rigo will change to pro-style boxing, or he will be kicked to the curve.
A change is a coming back to the future of way, way back in the day of old school! Catch up! Smarten up! And don't hate! Holla!
I am watching the fight again right now. Nonito landed 82 punches..that's not pro that's not even amateur...that's getting whipped plain and simple!!!!!!

Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.

Outside linebackers coach Duane Price runs drills Monday.
April 8, 2013
Spring Practice Highlights and Interviews
GREENVILLE, N.C. - After conducting its first official intra-squad scrimmage of the spring Saturday, East Carolina returned to Hight Field inside the Cliff Moore Practice Complex Monday afternoon and continued an up-tempo pace with a 90-minute workout in shells.
Fourth-year head coach Ruffin McNeill and his staff completed full game-tape evaluations earlier in the day and their impressions of the content remained pretty consistent with their initial in-person observations Saturday at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
"I thought there were a lot of positives that we can build on from Saturday," McNeill said. "There were explosive plays on both sides of the ball and the tempo was good, which is something that we've emphasized since we started the spring. I was also impressed with our sideline organization and management as well, especially being out in the stadium the first time.
"On the other hand, we've got to correct the penalties. As I've said before, our goal is to always be in the max to two range, and we didn't even come close to that."
Monday's session was ECU's ninth of the spring period, leaving just six more remaining practices, including a second Saturday morning scrimmage later this week and the playing of the Purple-Gold Game April 20.
Although in shorts, shoulder pads and helmets, and void of hard contact for the duration of the workout Monday, the Pirates' weekday period-by-period schedule didn't change from McNeill's established norm this spring. East Carolina spent its final 45 minutes engaged in three segments that included special teams, skeleton drills and an 11-on-11 team period.
"We fought through somewhat of a sluggish start, but had a spirited finish beginning with skelly and extending into the team period," McNeill added. "There's only six more days left and we need to take advantage of each one of those."
NOTES: Additional medical evaluations determined that OL Chaz Lowery will miss the remainder of the spring after suffering a left knee injury during Friday's practice ... DE Chrishon Rose (left shoulder), ILB Jeremy Grove (left shoulder) and DE Terrell Stanley (left knee) returned to work Monday after sitting out Saturday's scrimmage ... A stop of a drive that reached the three-yard line and junior safety Lamar Ivey's interception off a tipped pass highlighted the defensive effort during the team segment, while Quataye Smyre (25 yards) and Justin Hardy's (23) three-catch effort topped the offense ... Shane Carden completed eight-of-12 passes for 61 yards to lead all quarterbacks.
Next Workout: Wednesday, April 10 (3:30-5:50 p.m.)
Remaining Workouts: April 12, April 13 (scrimmage), April 15, April 17 and April 20 (Purple-Gold Game, 2:30 p.m.)

PRINCETON, N.J. (12/30/12) - The Princeton women's hockey team returns for the second half of the 2012-13 season when it travels to Connecticut to play a New Year's series against the Huskies. Games will be Wednesday, Jan. 2 and Thursday, Jan. 3 at 7 p.m., both days.
Eye on the Tigers
Princeton looks to get back on track after closing out the first half of the season with three straight losses. The Tigers are 5-9-2 overall. Senior Corey Stearns is the team's leading scorer with 18 points on 16 assists and two goals. Classmate Kelly Cooke is the leading goal scorer with 10 goals and three assists for 13 points. Junior Sally Butler adds five goals and six helpers. Junior Olivia Mucha and sophomore Brianna Leahy add eight points apiece and eight others have a point or more. Freshman Kimberly Newell has started in all 16 games in goal, but will be unavailable for this series, as she is with the Canadian U18 team at the World Championship that is currently being held in Finland. The Tigers will look to sophomore Ashley Holt to protect the goal. Holt has played in two games this season and has allowed one goal on seven shots.
Scouting the Huskies
The Huskies are looking to snap a 10-game winless streak as they enter the series with a 2-14-2 overall record. UConn defeated Maine and Syracuse and tied ECAC teams St. Lawrence and RPI. The team was blanked twice by Vermont the last time out, Dec. 1 & 2 by 3-0 and 2-0 scores. Freshman Michaela Cava and senior Kelly Horan lead the team offensively. Cava has six goals and six assists for 12 points, while Horan has a team-high seven helpers and three goals for 10 points. Sophomore Rachel Farrel and Emily Snodgrass chip in eight points each and 10 other skates have three or more points. The Huskies have used two goalies, freshman Elaine Chuli and junior Sarah Moses. Both have similar numbers. Chuli has an 0-9-2 record with a 3.76 GAA and an .893 save percentage. Moses is 2-5 with a 3.92 GAA and a .902 save percentage.
The Series
Princeton leads the series with UConn 8-1-2. UConn is actually the oldest DI opponent as the teams met in game three of the first season of Princeton women's hockey in 1979. Prior to that game, Princeton defeated Penn and Wesleyan. The Tigers won that opening series opener 6-0 and won the seven straight. Since 2008 the teams are even at 1-1-2, splitting the last series in Oct. 2008 with UConn winning 3-0 and Princeton winning 4-1.

Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
A group of researchers discovered the molecular process by which the PAX5 protein, necessary for lymphocyte development, promotes the growth of common lymphomas.
"We have long believed that PAX5 was involved in B-lymphomagenesis, based on the discovery of PAX5-specific translocations and somatic hypermutations in diffuse large B cell and other non-Hodgkin lymphomas," comments Andrei Thomas-Tikhonenko, Ph.D., an associate professor in the department of pathobiology in the school of veterinary medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. "Yet at the molecular and cellular levels, the contribution of PAX5 to neoplastic growth remained undeciphered."
The study used two B cell lymphoma cell lines that spontaneously silence PAX5 and then form slow-growing tumors. The researchers reconstituted these cells with an engineered version of PAX5 that required the synthetic estrogen tamoxifen for activity. In the experiment, tumors grew briskly when mice were treated with tamoxifen but stagnated if tamoxifen were withheld.
After large-scale gene-profiling studies, the team found "that PAX5, which regulates gene expression, instructs B cells to make enough of the components of B cell receptors to spur tumor growth even in the absence of foreign antigens, which normally initiate the immune response," reports Dr. Thomas-Tikhonenko.
Studies on human clinical samples corroborated this conclusion, he adds. Approximately half the lymphoma samples from the University of Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital tumor bank exhibited evidence of abnormal B-cell receptor activation. UPenn researchers collaborated with the Wistar Institute and University of Oxford on this study.
The findings will be published in the September issue of The Journal of Clinical Investigation.

Due to a lack of staff to assist me with running the group, Digimon World Discovery is on indefinite hiatus. From the very beginning, this has all been a one-man effort, and because of that, I must admit that I'm simply burnt out. I have very little motivation to get this group back into action because I know I'll be on my own again if I do, however, if I find users enthusiastic about helping me with this project, I'd love to start this back up again.
In the meantime, I'm sorry to say DWD is closed.
Here are the steps you'll need to take if you plan on joining:
1. Read all the blogs, the most important of which being the Rules and Application Information.
2. Complete a Digidestined Application, which you can find here: fav.me/d4hqhm9 . While your artistic ability or style will not be judged, applications that are incomplete or show a huge lack of effort will be rejected.
3. When you send a request to join the group, you need to include this before you submit your request:
4. DO NOT SEND YOUR JOIN REQUEST AS A NOTE. Click the 'Join our Group' button.
5. Wait for approval! If you're declined, something was wrong on your application or your join request. After you fix the errors, you can send another request if you are declined.

Kagawa hopes to play bigger role at Man Utd
Shinji Kagawa is hoping he can play a bigger role for Manchester United next season after admitting he was only "half satisfied" with his maiden campaign at the club.
The 24-year-old moved to Old Trafford from Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund last summer but suffered a major knee injury early in the season.
However, he showed glimpses of his talent, netting an impressive hat-trick in a comfortable win over Norwich, and he is keen to re-find the form that saw United part with €20 million to sign him.
"It was great to win the title with United," Kagawa told Inside United. "But I feel I still have work to do. I would say I am half satisfied, half unsatisfied."
"You have to believe in yourself. If you don't, things can go wrong both on and off the pitch. Being positive and believing in yourself is important, not only in football but also in improving as a person."
New Manchester United boss David Moyes has a host of attacking options at his disposal including Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney and Kagawa says he relishes playing alongside such quality players.
"It is inspiring and exciting to play alongside such world class players," Kagawa continued.
"Wayne can do everything to the highest standard. He has everything a football player would need: team spirit, hard work, switching between attack and defence.
"You don't see such players very often. He plays for the team, plus he can score and assist. There is so much I can learn from him and I enjoy playing with him. Robin, of course, made the difference with his goals. He's wonderful."

Something bad happened in the past 10 years to young workers in this country: Since 1999, more of them now have lower-paying jobs, if they can get a job at all; health care is a rare luxury and retirement security is something for their parents, not them. In fact, many-younger than 35-still live at home with their parents because they can't afford to be on their own.
These are the findings of a new report, "Young Workers: A Lost Decade." Conducted in July 2009 by Peter D. Hart Research Associates for the AFL-CIO and our community affiliate Working America, the nationwide survey of 1,156 people follows up on a similar survey the AFL-CIO conducted in 1999. The deterioration of young workers' economic situation in those 10 years is alarming.
Nate Scherer, 31, is among today's young workers. Scherer lives in Columbus, Ohio, where he shares a home with his wife, his parents, brother and his partner. He spoke at a media conference at the AFL-CIO today to discuss the report.
After getting married, my wife and I decided to move in with my parents to pay off our bills. We could afford to live on our own but we'd never be able to get out of debt. We have school loans to pay off, too. We'd like to have children, but we just can't manage the expense of it right now...so we're putting it off till we're in a better place. My [work] position is on the edge, and I feel like if my company were to cut back, my position would be one of the first to go.
During today's press briefing, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Richard Trumka summed up the report's findings this way:
We're calling the report "A Lost Decade" because we're seeing 10 years of opportunity lost as young workers across the board are struggling to keep their heads above water and often not succeeding. They've put off adulthood-put off having kids, put off education-and a full 34 percent of workers under 35 live with their parents for financial reasons.
Just last week we learned that about 1.7 million fewer teenagers and young adults were employed in July than a year before, hitting a record low of 51.4 percent.
As AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said:
Young workers in particular must be given the tools to lead the next generation to prosperity. The national survey we're releasing today shows just how broken our economy is for our young people...and what's at stake if we don't fix it.
Some of the report's key findings include:
* 31 percent of young workers report being uninsured, up from 24 percent 10 years ago, and 79 percent of the uninsured say they don't have coverage because they can't afford it or their employer does not offer it.
* Strikingly, one in three young workers are currently living at home with their parents.
* Only 31 percent say they make enough money to cover their bills and put some money aside-22 percentage points fewer than in 1999-while 24 percent cannot even pay their monthly bills.
* A third cannot pay their bills and seven in 10 do not have enough saved to cover two months of living expenses.
* 37 percent have put off education or professional development because they can't afford it.
* When asked who is most responsible for the country's economic woes, close to 50 percent of young workers place the blame on Wall Street and banks or corporate CEOs. And young workers say greed by corporations and CEOs is the factor most to blame for in the current financial downturn.
* By a 22-point margin, young workers favor expanding public investment over reducing the budget deficit. Young workers rank conservative economic approaches such as reducing taxes, government spending and regulation on business among the five lowest of 16 long-term priorities for Congress and the president.
* Thirty-five percent say they voted for the first time in 2008, and nearly three-quarters now keep tabs on government and public affairs, even when there's not an election going on.
* The majority of young workers and nearly 70 percent of first-time voters are confident that Obama will take the country in the right direction.
Trumka, who is running for AFL-CIO president without announced opposition at our convention later this month, is making union outreach to young people a top priority. He said one of the report's conclusions is especially striking:
Young people want to be involved but they're rarely asked. Their priorities are even more progressive than the priorities of the older generation of working people, yet they aren't engaged by co-workers or friends to get involved in the economic debate.
Currently, 18-to-35-year-olds make up a quarter of union membership. And at the AFL-CIO Convention, we will ask Convention delegates to approve plans for broad recruitment of young workers, as well as plans for training and leadership of young workers who are currently union members. And that's just the beginning of a broad push towards talking and mobilizing young workers in the coming months and years.
According to the report, more than half of young workers say employees are more successful getting problems resolved as a group rather than as individuals, and employees who have a union are better off than employees in similar jobs who do not.

As the regular season winds down, college basketball conference tournaments are on the horizon, and ESPN's Joe Lunardi is casting his bracket predictions for the 2011 NCAA Men's Basketball tournament. Check out how your Dogs faired against his bracket forecasts Brigham Young University, Utah State and Colorado State.
Fresno State kicked off its 2010-11 season with one of the biggest road games in recent history, as the Dogs ventured to Provo, Utah to face a No. 24 BYU in a sold-out battle and homecoming for head coach Steve Cleveland, who resurrected the BYU program in his tenure with the Cougars, 1997-2005.
The recent meeting between the Dogs and then ranked No. 24 Cougars began as a competitive game early for the visiting Bulldogs, who entered the game with an aggressive defensive game plan, but surged too late in the game that led to an 83-56 victory for BYU. BYU currently holds a 26-2 record overall, and is 12-1 in the Mountain West Conference. Lunardi predicts BYU to be a second seed in the tournament, and will meet with the 15th seed Long Beach State in the Western Region (Anaheim, Calif.)
The Bulldogs hosted BYU one year prior at the Save Mart Center for the first time since the Cougars left the WAC.
