HBO Boxing Insiders Eric Raskin and Kieran Mulvaney break down Terence Crawford's dismantling of Viktor Postol at the MGM Grand.
Photos: Will Hart
By Kieran Mulvaney
Viktor Postol was supposed to be Terence Crawford's toughest test, and while it was one he was favored to pass, the expectation was that it would be a challenge, that the Nebraskan would be forced to dig deep and answer questions that had not to this point ever been posed to him in the ring.
In the end, Crawford not only passed the examination, he aced it, dominating Postol over 12 increasingly one-sided rounds that left the Ukrainian looking lost long before the torture reached its eventual end.
This was not because, as some sought to suggest in the immediate aftermath, Postol was overrated, that his career-defining victory over Lucas Matthysse had flattered him because the Argentinian was nearing the end of a career of tough fights. The man from Kiev was – and remains – a legitimate quality boxer, one with a lengthy jab and an awkward style that would prove at worst an ordeal for pretty much any other opponent in or around the 140-pound division.
The fact that Postol could barely lay a glove on Crawford was not because he was in some way inadequate. It was because Terence Crawford proved at the MGM Grand on Saturday night what his recent performances had more than suggested: that he is a very special talent indeed.
Not that the first few rounds offered much indication of the quality of either man. Both fighters are known for a tendency to start slowly, and so it proved here. There was much bouncing of toes, much circling and feinting but little of any consequence landing for either man. Postol's vaunted jab was not landing, but the mere fact that he was pawing his lengthy left hand in Crawford's direction was enough to keep the American at range. The exploratory punches that Crawford (29-0, 20 KOs) did send in Postol's direction fell short, but he was always probing, constantly moving, measuring the distance, testing Postol's responses, gathering information, setting himself up for the rest of the fight.
In the fourth, he showed that he had accumulated much of the knowledge that he needed, and that now he was ready to put that knowledge to work. A straight left from the southpaw stance landed on Postol's jaw, as did another. Postol reached with a right hand and Crawford cracked him with another left. The Crawford gameplan was now evident: force Postol to throw a right hand and then counter him with his faster punches.
At the start of the fifth, however, Crawford didn't wait for Postol to throw first. He came flying out of the corner, landing a cuffing right hand that pushed the Ukrainian briefly to a knee for a knockdown. Postol shook his head in frustration at receiving a count from referee Tony Weeks, but there was no doubt about the next knockdown in that round, which came after Crawford feinted in response to a Postol right and landed a hard left that forced Postol (28-1, 12 KOs) to touch his glove to the canvas. Crawford's constant movement had Postol utterly befuddled and unable to find a target for his jab; at the end of the sixth, Postol even dropped his hands to his side in frustration.
By the seventh, Crawford was completely comfortable, even beating Postol to his jab, attempting to bait him on to counters, rarely exciting but utterly dominating, turning in a performance that was increasingly – for all the positive and negative connotations that implies – Mayweatheresque. At times, even the strongly pro-Omaha contingent among the announced 7.027 crowd booed the lack of action, only for Crawford to spy an opening and flash a left hand that buckled Postol's knees and had the fans cheering anew.
Again and again, the pattern repeated: Postol, too slow physically and increasingly broken emotionally, followed Crawford around the ring, afraid to commit to punches, but occasionally falling victim to his natural impulses, launching a hopeful right hand anyway and promptly being punished by the hard counter that he knew would be coming. Adding insult to injury, one brief Postol attempt to show some aggression in the eleventh resulted in his landing a pair of rabbit punches that earned him a point deduction from Weeks.
He opened up finally in the twelfth, knowing by now that he was hopelessly behind on the scores; Crawford's response was to stick his tongue out at him, dare Postol to hit him, and then land a right hook and a left hand, and then another, tearing into his utterly beaten opponent as the final bell sounded, at which point the Nebraskan raised both hands to the sky and beamed the smile of a clear victor.
If anything, the judges' scorecards – 118-107 twice, and 117-108 – might arguably have been a smidgen generous to the dominated, and no longer undefeated, Ukrainian, who had no excuses afterward.
"He was too fast," Postol admitted. "He surprised me."
"They said he had the best jab in the game, in the division," sneered Crawford, "and I took his jab away. It wasn't my toughest fight at all."

Argentina's Matias Rueda entered his featherweight contest with Oscar Valdez Jr with an impressive 26-0 record; but given that all but one of his fights had been fought in his native land against mostly anonymous opposition, there was some question as to how good he really was. The answer, as it turned out, was not very – or at least, to be fair, nothing like good enough to cope with Valdez, a former Mexican Olympian who now has a title belt to go along with his prodigious talent and potential.
From the opening bell, Rueda stood too tall, his erect head an inviting target for left hooks from Valdez (21-0, 18 KOs), who cracked his opponent repeatedly in the first round, following up with a couple of right hands that had Rueda rocking early. It was more of the same in the second, although the end came when Valdez switched his attention to his foe's body. A left hook to the midriff caused Rueda (26-1, 23 KOs) take a half step back and then drop to a knee. Although he beat the count, he was immediately in trouble again, as Valdez swarmed him and dropped him with another body shot, prompting referee Russell Mora to wave off the contest at 2:18 of the round.
Jose Benavidez Jr managed to simultaneously look frustrating and unimpressive, score a wide and deserved unanimous decision win to remain undefeated, and be booed by the MGM Grand Garden Arena crowd. At least from the safety and comfort of a ringside seat, it appeared that Benavidez could have won his welterweight bout with Francisco Santana with something to spare had he boxed differently, but far too often in the early rounds he retreated to the ropes and allowed Santana to rip him with a seemingly never-ending fusillade of punches.
That said, he clearly won the first two rounds, by countering Santana up the middle with some hard uppercuts; a couple of times he actually appeared to have Santana badly hurt. Perhaps falling in love with that approach, however, he spent the next two rounds with his back against the ropes, looking for openings to land counters that didn't materialize, as Santana (24-5-1, 12 KOs) scored more effectively with his relentless offense. Benavidez (25-0, 16 KOs) began to find a better distance in the fifth, and to land at least some shots from mid-range in the center of the ring; by the sixth, fatigue was clear in both men, which enabled Benavidez to keep Santana at bay somewhat more easily, even if the crowd responded to Santana's less effective flurries.
It was much the same over the second half of the bout: a fatigued Santana chuntering repeatedly forward, and an almost equally fatigued Benavidez attempting to keep him at bay with spearing jabs but occasionally continuing to retreat to the ropes, and making the bout seem closer than it was. Judge Adalaide Byrd's score after ten rounds of 100-90 for Beavidez, giving Santana absolutely no rounds, was ludicrous; but the other two scores of 98-92 and 96-94 were more accurate, however much those in the arena were displeased.
Oleksander Gvozdyk recovered from a shock first-round knockdown to break down and beat up former title challenger Tommy Karpency en route to a sixth round knockout in the opening bout of the pay per view.
Halfway through an opening round in which he was landing repeated, but soft combinations, the highly-rated Gvozdyk left himself open for a counter and Karpency obliged, dropping his left shoulder and launching a southpaw right hook in close that dropped Gvozdyk to his back. The Ukrainian (11-0, 9 KOs) looked on shaky legs as he rose and was less than convincing in the second round, even as he sought to regain the initiative. By the third, though, he was once more boxing and moving, turning Karpency repeatedly even if he showed no sign of the power that he has flashed so far in his professional career. But as Karpency (26-6-1, 15 KOs) slowed down, Gvozdyk became increasingly comfortable with his timing and the distance, and landed progressively heavy leather.
By the fifth round, Karpency's nose was bloodied and possibly broken, and in the sixth, a seemingly innocuous right hand to the face produced a shout of pain from the American, who dropped to one knee after a tame follow-up right to the body, and stayed there as referee Kenny Bayless tolled the ten count.

HBO Boxing Insiders Eric Raskin and Kieran Mulvaney report in moments after the Crawford-Postol weigh-in at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Photos: Will Hart
By Kieran Mulvaney
It has been a fairly quiet week in Las Vegas, without too much of the noise and fury that sometimes accompanies pay-per-view boxing events in Sin City. A lot of that, frankly, is likely due to the demeanors of the two men in the main event: neither Terence Crawford nor Viktor Postol is renowned for being brash or boastful; outside of some needle with Hank Lundy the last time he fought, Crawford has rarely flashed pre-fight anger toward his opponent, and Postol seems rarely to change the timbre of his voice, no matter what the subject of his conversation.
The Ukrainian did allow himself a hint of a smile when, after weighing on at 139.5 lbs., half a pound inside the junior lightweight limit, he discussed the fact that his wife gave birth to twin boys two days ago, relieving him of the concern of entering the biggest fight of his life while worrying about his pregnant wife. It also, he admitted, gave him extra motivation: each baby, he promised, would be receiving one of the two title belts at stake in his battle with Crawford.
But Crawford, who tipped the scales right on the weight limit of 140 lbs., flashed to life as he noted that this was a clash between two undefeated fighters in their prime, and he smiled as he told fans not to blink during the main event.
As he spoke, the crowd in the MGM Grand Garden Arena screamed and cheered. It seems that Crawford's hometown Omaha, Nebraska fans have arrived in force. The volume in Vegas may be about to get a lot louder.
Weights from Las Vegas:
Terence Crawford 140 vs. Viktor Postol 139.5
Oscar Valdez 126 vs. Matias Rueda 125
Jose Benavidez, Jr 146.5 vs. Francisco Santana 148
Oleksandr Gvozdyk 175 vs. Tommy Karpency 174.5
Watch the official Crawford-Postol weigh-in live beginning at 5:30 PM ET.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS: None Prove So Stubborn as a Giant Spurned
G.M. Never Wavered in Its 4-Year Fight Over Executive Who Defected to VW
By EDMUND L. ANDREWS
Published: January 11, 1997
RUSSELSHEIM, Germany, Jan. 10— By the time he walked into Robert Strauss's Washington law office Tuesday afternoon, Jens Neumann, the chief lawyer for Volkswagen A.G., knew who was holding the cards: the General Motors Corporation.
For nearly four years, Mr. Neumann had been locked in a bitter and visceral legal battle with G.M. over accusations of industrial spying. As recently as a year ago, VW had managed to bog down G.M.'s case against Jose Ignacio Lopez de Arriortua, the former G.M. executive who stood accused of stealing thousands of documents when he defected to Volkswagen. It was a legal tangle that the shrewd Mr. Neumann and Mr. Strauss, the influential Democrat and former ambassador who worked for VW, had helped throw around General Motors.
Just how G.M. reversed course and won a big settlement from VW on Thursday is a story about the fierce determination by some of G.M.'s top executives and directors for the company to assert itself, the auto maker's own detective work and its collaboration with the German and American criminal law enforcement authorities.
But the biggest turning point was G.M.'s decision to take a chance last March and file a lawsuit against VW in Detroit that laid out in stunning detail the thousands of pages of documents taken by Mr. Lopez or his friends -- papers that contained confidential information about one of the most closely guarded subjects in the automobile industry: what manufacturers pay for parts. The case also contended that Mr. Lopez had walked off with G.M.'s secret plans for ''Plant X,'' a new, cost-efficient experiment to assembling cars and trucks.
After that suit and a series of court rulings brushing aside VW's bids to thwart it, G.M. had the upper hand and Volkswagen was desperate to settle. It also did not hurt that Mr. Lopez and several of his associates had recently been charged with fraud by the German prosecutors. Settlement talks began in earnest in September, and by Thursday, both sides had a deal. VW agreed in principle to pay G.M. $100 million, to buy at least $1 billion worth of G.M. parts in the next seven years and to issue a statement acknowledging G.M.'s ''concerns with respect to possible wrongdoing.''
In the business world, managers, scientists, talented engineers and creative producers are wooed away from one company to join a competitor every day. But increasingly, companies are turning to the courts for compensation when they feel valuable information and ideas have been taken. The Lopez case stands out as parable for jilted employers and as a cautionary tale for workers who clean out their files assuming that no one will make a fuss.
Now Mr. Lopez, who resigned from VW several weeks ago and has been out of sight for months, will probably face a criminal trial later this year in Germany. And Volkswagen, which for a long time insisted that it had never received any documents, has agreed to send G.M. back whatever is left from Mr. Lopez's hoard.
''There really is no dispute any longer that he took our confidential documents,'' Thomas A. Gottschalk, G.M.'s general counsel, said. ''They recognize that that occurred.''
In many respects, the easiest part of G.M.'s job was collecting damaging evidence against Mr. Lopez and several associates who had followed him from G.M. to Volkswagen in 1993. G.M.'s sleuths reconstructed Mr. Lopez's activities before leaving G.M. on an almost hour-by-hour basis, pinpointing an array of classified documents he shipped to Volkswagen, including some on a VW plane. The evidence included cartons of documents seized at the home of Mr. Lopez's associates; affidavits about a secretive document-processing operation Mr. Lopez had set up at Volkswagen offices and more.
But most of that evidence had been in the hands of the German prosecutors a year after Mr. Lopez quit G.M. and the case had seemed to stagnate for the next two years.
It was not until G.M.'s decision last March to file a suit in United States District Court in Detroit that invoked racketeering statues that the tide began to turn. By using the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act in some of its accusations, G.M. left VW open to triple damages if the charges held up in court. In a series of decisions late last year, Federal District Judge Nancy Edmonds turned back VW's moves to block the case and set the stage for a trial that would have been embarrassing to Volkswagen and possibly exposed it to billions of dollars in damages.
The civil suit may also have galvanized the German prosecutors. After reviewing evidence for nearly three years, the prosecutors let it be known in October that they would probably be filing charges against Mr. Lopez and several of his associates.
''Within the last six months, three or four events went our way,'' said David Herman, the chief executive of G.M.'s Adam Opel car-making subsidiary in Germany.
Taken together, G.M. officials said today, these events suddenly put it in an extremely powerful legal position. But the conflict also posed a ticklish choice for G.M., which had a great deal to do with its own eagerness to sign a peace pact.

Card sharp and former wild child Hallie Palmer is in college now–and Bernard Stockton, her legal guardian, has suddenly appeared during final exams. He's hysterical about his recent breakup with his longtime boyfriend, Gil, and wants to enlist Hallie in a scheme to win Gil back. So Hallie returns to Cosgrove County, Ohio, for the summer, to her job as live-in yard person for Bernard and his delightfully oddball mother, Olivia. Also present are Ottavio, Olivia's hot-tempered Italian lover, who's desperate for a wedding; Rocky, a chimpanzee who's one Singapore Sling away from an AA meeting for primates; and Hallie's own ever-expanding family, which she fled as soon as she could slide down the drainpipe.
Around town, folks assume that since Hallie isn't in jail, she clearly has no problems of her own and can therefore tackle theirs. But Hallie has plenty of troubles–a looming tuition bill, gambling temptations, and an ex-boyfriend who's back in town for the summer to upset any potential if highly unlikely (a girl can dream!) romantic flings.
Yet as Hallie and company navigate life's unexpected paths of games lost and love found, the real truth begins to emerge: With friends, family, and a place to call home, your heart's desire is always within reach.

The Rocket took the three frames he needed from an overnight score of 14-10 to reach his fifth World Championship final.
The defending champion will be hot favourite to secure his fifth title against either Barry Hawkins or Ricky Walden who are both fighting to reach their first final.
Yesterday, O'Sullivan courted controversy when he was admonished by referee Michaela Tabb for an obscene gesture he made with his cue.
He was also overheard to say: "I want to go home" during the match.
Today was strictly business though as he looked in firm control throughout.
Trump hit back with a break of 77 from when he was 16-10 down to prolong the contest but the frame before proved to be crucial as Trump left a free ball to his opponent when fouling on the pink while trying to play a safety shot back to baulk.
It came after an opening frame in which Trump was presented with a chance to clinch it but he failed and O'Sullivan punished him.
Curiously, O'Sullivan won the match without scoring a single century - and Trump only scored one - but always looked the more likely to win frames in one visit.
His safety play was also consistently good as he ran out a deserved victor.
Any fears that the Rocket is falling out of love with the Crucible already again seemed to be quashed when he fist-pumped to the crowd at the end of the contest to show just how much the triumph meant to him.
The four-time world champion will now await Walden or Hawkins in the knowledge that neither of his opponents has played in a world final and he has never lost one.

Synthetic workload generation uses artificial programs to mimic the resource-utilization patterns of real workloads. It is important for systematic evaluation of dynamic load-balancing strategies because load-balancing experiments require the measurement of task-completion times under realistic and reproducible workloads. The authors describe a generator that permits accurate replay of measured system-wide loads, thus providing an ideal setting for conducting load-balancing experiments. The generator is implemented inside the operating-system kernel and, therefore, has complete control over the local resources. It controls the useage levels of four key resources: CPU, memory, disk, and network. In order to reproduce accurately the behavior of the process population generating the measured load, the generator gives up a fraction of its resources in response to the arrival of new jobs, and reclaims these resources when the jobs terminate. The authors results show near-perfect reproduction of background load even in the presence of interfering foreground load

Fresh off of one big-budget action film with Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction, Mark Wahlberg has a bionic eye trained on another. That's if you believe the latest rumor.
According to The Tracking Board, he's tipped to star in Universal Pictures' adaptation of The Six Million Dollar Man, the popular 1970s television series that featured Lee Majors as a former astronaut who, after sustaining severe injuries in an accident, is given bionic replacements for right arm, left eye and both legs. With enhanced strength, speed and vision, he becomes a secret agent for the Office of Scientific Intelligence.
Peter Berg, who worked with Wahlberg on Lone Survivor, is said to be attached to produce and possibly direct.
There have been several attempts to make a Six Million Dollar Man feature — Kevin Smith wrote a movie script in 1998 that eventually was transformed into a comic book — but none has gotten off the ground.
loved this show as a kid
Loved that show as a kid! But if it's remade..6 million bucks isn't applicable. .should be more like the 6 Trillion Dollar Man…inflation and all..
6mil sounds like the govt was cheap
The original book that this was based on was much more down to Earth. He couldn't run hundreds of miles an hour, but his mechanical legs could run indefinitely without getting tired. He couldn't see out of his mechanical eye, but there was a camera hidden in it for covert surveillance.
It might be interesting if they tried to get back to the book and do a more grounded approach. I doubt they'd do that, though. People have expectations, especially for a movie version.

The Indian Subcontinent is a multi-cultural melange. Eclectic, frenetic, fantastic, it's an opportunity to immerse yourself in the lives and emotions of a billion other people. With an in-your-face attitude and extraordinary diversity, it's one of the world's most multi-dimensional destinations that causes visitors to love or loathe it, often in the course of the same trip.
Awash with traditions, history and festivals, India is the beguling heart of the region. From cutting edge contemporary cities to traditional villages by way of peaceful temples and riotous festivals, snow-capped summits and sun-drenched beaches, it's a country that you'll never forget. Darjeeling, Mumbai, Udaipur and Varanasi offer different city experiences; the Taj Mahal stands as an iconic monument and the Himalayas, beaches of Goa and backwaters of Kerala provide adventure and activity.
Elsewhere, Sri Lanka offers a quieter, calmer alternative, whether you settle in Kandy or Galle, explore the southern beaches or exceptional national parks. Destinations such as Bhutan and Nepal are there to be discovered and enjoyed in a more intimate way whilst hiking through the Himalayas, beneath Annapurna or Mt Everest.

What is the moral of "The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse"?
2 Answers | Add Yours
The moral of the story might be that generosity can solve most disputes. In the oddest of ways, the fact that John Byro does not exact revenge on the boys ends up working things out for everyone's benefit. The boys return the horse, once they recognize that they did take something that does not belong to them. This awareness was brought on by John Byro's generosity and compassion in speaking about the situation without a tone of accusation nor a demand of vengeance. At the same time, the boys' training of the horse made it more receptive to people and benefits Byro in the long run. In this light, one can see that taking a compassionate and generous approach to certain conflicts can bring its own resolution where everyone wins.
Though the story definitely teaches that there is no excuse, not even poverty, for taking something that is not yours, the bigger moral of "The Summer of the Beautiful Horse" is that if one understands another's circumstances and motivations, wrongs can be righted without anger or retribution.
Some boys take a horse that is not theirs to take. The owner catches them but rather than accuse and demand retribution, he shows understanding even as the boys do not at first admit to the wrong doing. However, later the boys do show understanding that this was wrong and make a sincere effort to return the horse to the owner. In returning it, the owner takes into consideration and understands the boys' circumstances and motivation. Without anger or demands for punishment, he is able to see the situation clearly and realizes that the horse has actually gained benefit from the situation. He is more behaved and manageable because of the boy's interactions with him.

WEATHERFORD, Texas (AP) - A Parker County sheriff's deputy and a suspect were wounded in an exchange of gunfire as officers tried to serve an arson warrant.
Sheriff Larry Fowler says the deputy was shot in the leg early Wednesday when the barricaded suspect fired through a door. Deputies returned fire, wounding the suspect who had tried to hide in a shed, in a rural area near Weatherford.
Both men were transported to hospitals. Fowler says the deputy was conscious and is expected to recover. Details on the wounded suspect were not immediately released.
Weatherford is about 30 miles west of Fort Worth.

A report from Comic-Con 2016 on the various ways to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Star Trek."
A movie named "Monsters" must contain monsters. But in its breathtaking final scene, we realize they should not be called Monsters but perhaps simply Beings. They're aliens from Europa, a moon of Jupiter, which has a thin oxygen atmosphere and possibly an ocean under its surface. It's one of the prime candidates for life elsewhere in the solar system, and if it's hard to understand how that life might be 50-foot-high spiders that float and have a pulsing inner glow, well, that's an alien for you. The bastards are always up to something.
I've read some complaints from fanboys that the monsters in "Monsters" aren't monstrous enough. You don't hear any complaints about Godzilla, Mothra or the clicking grasshoppers in "District 9," but let a filmmaker dare to imagine a truly alien lifeform, and it's whine, whine, whine. So let me say that "Monsters" is a rather special achievement. Think of it as a movie that M. Night Shyamalan (and we) would be happy he made. It's based on characters, relationships, fear and mostly unseen menace, and although the movie's special effects are important, it's not about special effects.
I recently came across a collection of covers from a 1950s comic book named Tales to Astonish! Each issue featured a different low-rent monster ("Mummex," "Droom," "Titano," "Vandoom," "Roombu"). The most intriguing was "X," described as THE THING THAT LIVED!! The monsters invariably towered high above puny humans who were running for their lives in the foreground. The Beings in "Monsters" tower above humans, but that's not because they're giant versions of B-movie cliches. It's because they are different in structure and nature from the lifeforms on Earth.
The story, set some years in the future, explains that a probe was sent to Europa to search for life. On its return, it crash-landed in Mexico. Whatever was on board found the conditions here suitable. The Beings have occupied a wide swath of northern Mexico, known as the Infected Zone, and travel through it is forbidden. The two nations are connected only by boats and airplanes. A massive wall has been constructed to keep the creatures out of the United States, and Air Force planes fire missiles at them.
Whoops. I just hopped over one allegory and tripped on another one. There's an obvious parallel with our current border situation and the controversy over undocumented aliens. And another one with our recent wars, where expensive and advanced aircraft are used to fire missiles at enemies who are mostly invisible. A process of demonization is also going on: Are these beings actually a threat?
Oh, sure, the journey in the film takes us through wastelands of devastation (my guess is they filmed in the aftermath of hurricanes). Boats are in trees, planes are in rivers and so on. A brief comment, almost a throwaway line, suggests the creatures grow agitated when attacked. Many a creature does. There isn't a single shot on camera of a Being actually assaulting anything without provocation.
The story involves Andrew Kaulder (Scoot McNairy) and Samantha Wynden (Whitney Able). He's a free-lance photographer. She's the daughter of Kaulder's boss. Her father calls Kaulder and orders him to be sure Sam gets out of Mexico unharmed. He reluctantly agrees. They begin a journey north that, after many setbacks, leaves them trying to navigate a river through the Infected Zone on a boat crewed by hired gunmen.
We see evidence of the aliens. We hear their mournful sounds. We see them unclearly in night vision images on television news. Apparently they don't come out in daytime. The river journey, like the one in "Apocalypse Now," often goes smoothly enough, but there's always the invisible threat in the jungle. Andrew and Samantha, like many a movie couple before them, start out antagonistic, and gradually lower their guards as they share the journey. But theirs is not a conventional romance. It's more about learning to see another person.
"Monsters" was written and directed by Gareth Edwards. He also created all the special effects. He shot on location. All of the characters, except the leads, are played by locals. They're untrained, which means they're all the more convincing. Edwards had a minuscule budget, but let's say he knew how to spend it.
"Monsters" holds our attention ever more deeply as we realize it's not a casual exploitation picture. We expect that sooner or later, we'll get a good look at the aliens close up. When we do, let's say it's not a disappointment. They're ugly and uncannily beautiful. We've never seen anything like them. And their motives are made clear in a sequence combining uncommon suspense and uncanny poetry.
Edwards is brilliant at evoking the awe and beauty he has been building toward, and at last we fully realize the film's ambitious arc. I think the lesson may be: Life has its reasons. Motives are pretty universal. Monsters are in the eye of the beholder.
"It's a madhouse!"
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.
Women are nicer than men. There are exceptions. Most people of both sexes are probably fairly nice, given the nat...

Comparison of Modal Versus Delay-and-Sum Beamforming in the Context of Data-Based Binaural Synthesis
Several approaches to data-based binaural synthesis have been published that capture a sound field by means of a spherical microphone array. The captured sound field is typically decomposed into plane waves which are then auralized using head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). The decomposition into plane waves is often based on modal beamforming techniques which represent the captured sound field with respect to surface spherical harmonics. An efficient and numerically stable approximation to modal beamforming is the delay-and-sum technique.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A judge in Birmingham is hearing a case
that could help clarify whether electronic bingo machines are legal
in Alabama.
Circuit Judge Robert S. Vance is considering whether so-called
charity bingo halls are legal in Walker County. The hearing only
involves that one county, but attorneys in the case say it could
help clarify the issue throughout Alabama.
Opponents including Gov. Bob Riley say the bingo machines are
illegal slot machines. Operators say electronic bingo is different
from illegal gambling, and it's helping veterans' groups and other
A federal judge recently said electronic bingo machines in
Madison County violated the constitutional amendment that allowed
them and that they appeared to constitute illegal slot machines.

Convair B58 Hustler by EmigepaWatch
©2011-2016 Emigepa
The Convair B-58 Hustler was the first operational supersonic jet bomber capable of Mach 2 flight. The aircraft was designed by Convair engineer Robert H. Widmer and developed for the United States Air Force for service in the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the 1960s. It used a delta wing, which was also employed by Convair fighters such as the F-102, with four J79 engines in pods under the wing. It carried a nuclear weapon and fuel in a large pod under the fuselage rather than in an internal bomb bay. (BLENDER 3D)
Love the Delta Wing bombers. We had one of only two wings stationed at Grissom AFB in Indiana. Great work!
Nice blending
beautiful piece of art
What a superb piece of 3D art! Love the textures and details! Fantastic matey!
One of my favourite planes!
One of my favourite planes!
Thanks Chris. It's an amazing plane. I always liked it. It is an icon of aviation.

Good page, tips and photos of Fez.I would love the souks- but I would HATE the tanneries. I am a vegetarian- so all that I find quite repulsive.The architecture of Fez looks lovely.Thanks Jean-Louis
I like your traffic light warning, I experienced something similar whilst travelling Malaysia in 2000. We were in Fez September'08, the tour of the Medina was fantastic.
That 'speeding ticket' story is a good one - it sure beats anonymous hidden cameras! Interesting photos of the old town. Just as well VT has only videos and not smell, when it came to the tannery! :)
I had to laugh. Your traffic ticket story reminds of the time we got a ticket near Sun City South Africa. I swear his radar gun was nothing more than a hair dryer he waved at us. Like you - no written ticket & our money went into his pocket. C'est la vie!
Interesting photos of the tanner's souk. I am not sure if I could stand the smell there, eeks!
Nce shots of the Tannery. Fez was my favourite city in Morocco.
More interesting stuff about a destination high on our "to do" list.
Nice medina pics!
Jean Louis cette page est superbe :-) Now I know a real expert in Morocco :-))
Stuning photos again. Thanks.

Gross Says Fed to Keep Easing Policy Amid Job Growth: Tom Keene
Pacific Investment Management Co.'s Bill Gross said the Federal Reserve will maintain accommodative monetary policy and consider more asset purchases even with the U.S. employment market expanding.
Gross domestic product in the first half of the year will probably be 2 percent to 2.5 percent, which will leave the Fed unsatisfied with growth, Gross, manager of the world's biggest bond fund, said in a radio interview on "Bloomberg Surveillance" with Tom Keene and Ken Prewitt.
Employment climbed more than forecast in January and the U.S. jobless rate unexpectedly fell to the lowest in three years. The 243,000 increase in payrolls was the most since April and exceeded all forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey, Labor Department figures showed in Washington. The unemployment rate dropped to 8.3 percent, the lowest since February 2009.
"This is really an extraordinary report," Gross said. "We'd caution as always that there are many structural headwinds ahead in terms our economic future. But for the moment we are heading up in terms of many of these growth metrics."
The Fed purchased $2.3 trillion of debt in two rounds of quantitative easing known as QE1 and QE2 as part of its efforts to support the world's biggest economy. Policy makers last month said they plan to keep their benchmark interest rate near zero until at least the end of 2014. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said following the central bank's Jan. 25 meeting that he's considering another program of debt purchases if it appears the recovery isn't progressing.
'Cyclical Bounce'
"We should welcome the headline numbers, they are really good, but we should not lose sight that we have structural issues that aren't being dealt with," Mohamed A. El-Erian, Pimco's chief executive officer, said in a separate interview on Bloomberg Television's "In the Loop" with Betty Liu.
"So far the Fed has been dismissing the short-term data," said El-Erian, who serves as co-chief investment officer with Pimco founder Gross. "They have been looking beyond the cyclical bounce as secularly the economy is still week."
Gross boosted the proportion of U.S. government and Treasury debt in the $250 billion Total Return Fund to 30 percent of assets in December, the highest since November 2010. Treasuries with maturities from five- to seven-years have been the focus of Treasury purchases, added Gross, with longer-term debt unattractive due to risk of a pick-up in inflation,
Pimco's largest fund has returned 6.95 percent in the past year, topping 53 percent of its peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It gained 2.78 percent over the past month, beating 99 percent of his competitors.
Inflation Bet
"We did think that the Fed would raise its inflationary target to 2 percent," Gross said. "And that has produced a tremendous bid and higher prices for TIPS."
The Total Return Fund increased its allocation of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, or TIPS, to 8 percent, and holdings in municipal bonds to 5 percent, as well as bets on debt of the U.K. and German government, Gross said.
The Federal Open Market Committee in statement of its long-run goals and strategies on Jan. 25 specified a 2 percent goal for inflation, as measured by the annual change in the price index for personal consumption expenditures.
The difference between rates on 10-year notes and TIPS, reflecting the outlook among traders for consumer prices, increased to as much as 2.19 percentage points, the widest since Oct. 28. The spread averaged 2.03 percentage points over the past five years.
Yield Curve
The zero-bound interest rate policies embraced by central banks including the Fed may end up killing as opposed to creating credit and developed economies may suffer accordingly, Gross wrote in a monthly investment outlook released two days ago on Newport Beach, California-based Pimco's website. While recent actions by policy makers provide assurances that short and intermediate U.S. bond yields may not change for years, any potential for price appreciation is limited, he wrote.
Pimco favors Treasuries maturing in five through seven years, with longer-maturity debt more at risk to inflation with the stimulative polices of the world's central banks, Gross said.
Pimco, a unit of the Munich-based insurer Allianz SE, managed $1.35 trillion of assets as of September.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 32 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by junead Really like this A unique, attractive addition to my decor....I love it. In fact, I ordered a second table for my son-in-law whose eyes lit up when I removed it from the box. He doesn't exclaim over much but he said it "is so cool". It was his personal, special house warming gift as they just bought a home and he's so tickled I gifted him one. My own fits perfect;y next to my small leather chair and friends ask where I found such an unusual table, Also, I must say Grandinroad is one of the best company's I've dealt with and most wonderful of all, they ship to Alaska - no hassle. Not so with many others. Thank you. August 20, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Philly Very unique piece Awesome table. Exactly as pictured. Well built. I have it as a side table to a brown leather couch with a lamp on it. My LR was drowning in brown--brown leather, wood furniture and hardwood floor. The metal adds a great texture and contrast. I love it. If you love copper I highly recommend the copper column planters from Grandin Road. They are incredible and also very unique.. February 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CaptBlur End Table The Verona Copper Table is more than I anticipated and fits perfectly into my decor. A plus is that I have 2 kit kats with claws intact, and they can do no damage to my new bright beautiful piece. February 22, 2013

Ok for those who dont know, its a popular method to be listed at Yahoo SERP by submiting your feed to MyYahoo, however if you are as lucky as i m your blog wont get listed even after 7 days of constant pinging and 7 hectoliters of consumed coffee trying to put your blog in Yahoo
s famous index which is getting closer as competitor to Googles throne btw..... so it`s important o get listed at Yahoo if you care least about your web promotion.
Did anyone manage to get listed with their WordPress blog? How long did it take? What do you think might be the cause of my headache. thanx!! :)

First off it seems very odd that the backorder option isn't available unless stock management is enabled on the inventory settings page. I should be able to use the backorder feature even though I'm only stating whether a product is in or out of stock (stock status).
Secondly on the product page Stock Qty and Stock Status should not be shown at the same time since they're mutually exclusive.
What I'd expect was the option to select Stock status and combine it with a backorder option. For instance "Out of stock", "Allow, but notify customer" and then get an "Available on backorder" on the product page with an add to cart button. Currently it shows Out of stock no matter the backorder settings.

This app keeps my kid happy and therefore ME happy!
This app is great because I can give it to my kids when I'm waiting in line or at the doctor's office and they get right in to it. They love the story and the kid drawn pictures. They really love touching all the different dinosaurs and volcanoes and other fun things to see what they will do. Oh, and they can't help but smile when they tickle the dinosaurs and hear them giggle. Great app! 1.99 is a small price to pay for my sanity (and compared to an actual book it is super cheap!)
Parents, buy this app you will love it!
Great storytelling, the kids love it
Very nicely put together. My kids enjoy the story and the pictures. Hope to see more interactive stories like this!
This is great.... for my son.
My 4 year old son (the resident Rolondo champion) loves this game.
I think it will officially take over the four little monkey's spot.
Good stuff!!

In his centennial address before the Section on Nervous and Mental Diseases of the Annual Session of the American Medical Association at Atlantic City, N.J., June 12, 1947, Stanley Cobb reviewed progress in the previous hundred' years in neurology, psychiatry and neurosurgery.1 In 1847 specialisation in medicine was just beginning. While psychiatry was already developing, neurology was in the earliest stages and neurosurgery did not exist. After instructive sketches of the advances in the knowledge of the nervous system, its structure, physiology and diseases, Cobb considered neurosurgery, which did not begin until about 1900. The technics of neurosurgery—asepsis, anesthesia and hemostasis--were not sufficiently developed earlier, which was the case also with the clinical localization of lesions within the brain and the cord.
According to Cobb, Godlee in 1884 removed the first brain tumor " localized scientifically." Trepanning was done by the neolithic man; Hippocrates used the trephine with occasional success,

As part of a software package I'm working on, I need to implement a parser for application specific text files. I've already specified the grammar for these file on paper, but am having a hard time translating it into easily readable/updatable code (right now just it passes each line through a huge number of switch statements).
So, are there any good design patterns for implementing a parser in a Java style OO environment?
