It's win or bust for wounded warrior Khan against undefeated Molina in Los Angeles
Amir Khan is praying his personal new year, starting here on Saturday, will be in dazzling contrast to the bleakest period he has ever suffered.
Khan believes his 26th birthday, last Saturday, marked the end of 'the worst 12 months of my life'.

In the spotlight: Amir Khan & Carlos Molina at the weigh-in
Fighting fit: Amir Khan at the weigh-in for his super lightweight bout against Carlos Molina
Amir: I'm a more mature fighter
Amir Khan insisted he had learned from his mistakes and would get his career back on track by beating Carlos Molina after both men weighed at 9st 13 3/4lb on Friday night, a quarter of a pound inside the 10-stone limit.
The two surprises were the cold weather for the outdoor weigh-in at the Los Angeles Coliseum and the smaller Molina coming in unexpectedly as heavy as Khan.
Khan said: 'I know that as long as I stick to the gameplan and my instructions, then I'm not going to lose this fight.
'I made a lot of mistakes in my previous two fights and I know I said for those fights that 'I'm not going to lose, I'm going to stick to the gameplan' but on those occasions the gameplan went out of the window and I tried to do more.
'In this fight I'm going to just stick to what I know best. It's been a maturing experience, big time.
'I'm a lot more mature now than I've ever been. Having that defeat has only made me a more mature fighter, a better fighter, a more focused fighter.'
Molina is understandably a significant betting outsider considering he has mainly campaigned at lightweight and has yet to prove himself at the top level.
However, the Californian is confident he can follow Peterson and Garcia by springing an upset against the high-profile Briton.
'We know Amir doesn't like pressure fighters and whatever way we can make him uncomfortable, that's what we'll do,' he said.
'So expect an all-out war. We're going to fight in my city, in LA, in the 'hood. So I'm going to make this a street fight. He can't come to my 'hood and beat me.'
He is also acutely aware that if he is mistaken in that conviction and fails to beat the undefeated Carlos Molina in the Los Angeles Sports Arena, his career will be damaged almost beyond repair.
The past year has seen Khan dethroned twice as world light-welterweight champion. He says: 'My year of being 25 was very bad for me. The two defeats hurt me and damaged me.
'But I feel like I'm starting all over again. I am full of new beginnings. I feel my 12 months of being 26 will be the best year of my life. It had better be.'
As he says himself: 'I know this is my crossroads. I know that I simply cannot afford a third successive defeat. I must win this fight if I am going to get back into the world title picture and build towards mega-fights with the likes of Floyd Mayweather. And no, in saying that I'm not looking beyond Molina. I have to focus. I can't make another mistake and give any fighter the chance to beat me now. There's too much on the line.'
Golden Boy Promotions, led by president Oscar de la Hoya's belief in Khan as a superstar in the making, have invested heavily in the young man from Bolton. So have the major US cable TV networks: first HBO, and now Showtime, as well as Sky in Britain.
They all supported Khan when he was robbed of his title by the drug-fuelled Lamont Peterson at the start of his annus horribilis. They have stuck by him since his crushing KO by Danny Garcia.
Now there can be no excuse. Molina is the home boy here this evening, but he is one of the most carefully selected opponents possible for a bill-topping fight.
Now Khan must deliver. An impressive win can set up a world-title rematch with Garcia and then up in poundage to the goldmine of the welterweight division.
Lose here and the powerful support structure would fall away and - he grimaces at the prospect - he would be reduced to striving to rebuild his reputation on undercards back in Britain. No pressure, then?
Well, Khan seems reassuringly relaxed as he wears the $5 baseball cap given to him by Rio Ferdinand for good luck, as well as a diamond ring on the second finger of his left hand to indicate stability in his private life, also, through his engagement to Faryal Makhdoom.
Focused: Undefeated Carlos Molina
Head-to-head: Khan, left, and Molina
He attributes his composed, mature demeanour to the influence of his new trainer, Virgil Hunter, who is also the mentor of American prodigy Andre Ward.
'Virgil is very much part of the new Amir Khan,' he says. 'Some things have been said about me changing trainers whenever I get a setback, but I believe that it's right to make a switch from time to time. I'm still young and learning. I did well with Freddie (Roach) but now I'm getting new information from Virgil.'
Principally, he is being ordered to build his natural attacking style on a less penetrable defence.
He says: 'Virgil asked me why I kept leaving myself open to stupid shots. He showed me the small adjustments that were all I needed to make. I need to be more controlled. If that's boring, so be it.
'But I don't think it will be. I'm an exciting fighter by nature but, to be that, doesn't mean I have to do anything silly.'
Hunter is a quiet man and runs a mostly closed gym near San Francisco but Khan says: 'He tells me off when I need it. I was in my comfort zone at the Wild Card gym. Los Angeles had become a second home. I made a lot of friends and got invited to so many celebrity events.
'I knew I had to take charge of my own life. Stand on my own two feet. Be my own boss but also be prepared to listen. You will see a new man in the ring here.'
Thirsty work: Khan faces the cameras
Hunter says: 'I can be adamant in my tone with Amir, but I never lose my temper. I wouldn't be here if I didn't know he is a very gifted fighter who can take flight, become the best in his division, and climb towards the top of the pound- for-pound rankings.'
That climb starts some way down the ladder.
Tickets for this event start at a very low $25, and Golden Boy have wrapped other happenings around the event, including a fan fest. Commendably, rather than just paper the house with free seats, they are giving tickets to those who donate Christmas toys to a campaign in aid of under- privileged children.
As for the opponent, although Molina had a splendid amateur career and is unbeaten in his first 18 professional fights, he has not mixed in anything like such lofty ring company as Khan.
Molina is not only naturally lighter, having recently come up through the weight classes, but four inches shorter. Nor, with only seven KOs on his record, does he appear to be a big punching threat to Khan's chin.
But Molina will be fighting for the pride of his tough, Latino, east Los Angeles neighbourhood and he says: 'I'm going to make a street fight of it. This is happening in my 'hood - and he can't come in here and beat me.'
Logic insists that Khan will do just that, probably with a mid-fight stoppage, and thereby launch his annus mirabilis.

Bangladesh defended Tuesday its decision to snub foreign aid after the collapse of a garment factory complex where at least 388 people died as the UN revealed it had offered specialist help to find survivors.
With the death toll from the country's worst ever industrial disaster still rising, the government is facing criticism over its handling of the tragedy and the lack of regulation blamed for the loss of life.
"The need for immediate foreign assistance was not felt because our rescue operation has been sufficient and exemplary," Home Secretary Mustak Ahmed told AFP, adding the government was "grateful" for of help offers from Britain among others.
The UN's humanitarian advisor in Bangladesh Gerson Brandao said that he had offered emergency disaster teams based in Singapore and Abu Dhabi within hours of the accident on Wednesday morning last week.
"These are a group of people who are experts. They have dogs, micro cameras and other equipment that we do not have in Bangladesh," Brandao told AFP.
Facing more angry protests near the accident site, where workers took to the streets brandishing sticks, the government also announced plans for another blitz of inspections as it came under pressure for an improved safety regime.
Groups such as Britain's "fast fashion" label Primark and Canada's supermarket giant Loblaw, whose clothes were found in the wreckage, have come forward to offered compensation to the dead and injured.
Spanish label Mango and Italian group Benetton have also admitted their products were recently manufactured in the building and they are under pressure from campaign groups to contribute.
Although the exact number of people still missing is not known, there were around 3,000 workers on shift at the time of the disaster and more than 2,400 were rescued from the ruins.
As heavy-lifting equipment and cranes moved in at the site on Tuesday, more bodies were expected to be found.
The shocking accident has again focused attention on the safety record of the $20-billion Bangladeshi garment industry, the second biggest after China's, following a fire in November that killed 111.
Western brands which have moved manufacturing to low-cost and low-regulation countries such as Bangladesh as well as consumers who wilfully overlook the plight of workers have been criticised by campaigners.
Rights activist Hana Shams Ahmed wrote on Facebook that the Bangladesh government had spurned foreign rescue help because "they don't want this to be internationally discussed how easily preventable this was".
"Ultimately, the responsibility of this lies with the government and its chain of corruption, negligence and greed," added Ahmed.
Most of the hundreds of the garment factories in Savar, a suburb of the capital where the collapsed building is situated, were forced to close again on Tuesday out of fear of unrest.
There were also sporadic protests and clashes that led police to fire teargas, said Industrial Police assistant director M. Muniruzzaman.
"Tens of thousands of workers walked off their factories. But only a few hundreds of workers joined demonstrations carrying sticks," he told AFP.
At the accident site, distraught relatives awaiting news of loved ones were increasingly critical of the recovery operation, fearing bodies could be pulverised as a major clean-up operation began.
Yunus Khan, among a group of around 100 people still awaiting news, told reporters that he feared "the use of this heavy equipment will dash any chances of recovering the bodies".
Relatives have also turned their anger on the owner of the eight-storey building, Sohel Rana, who made his first appearance in court late Monday after being detained at the border with India.
There were chants of "Hang the Killer!" as he was brought before the court in Dhaka on charges of causing death through negligence. He was remanded in custody for a further 15 days.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
As expected, Diamond Comic Distributors announced this morning that, beginning in January, all direct-market retailers in North America and the United Kingdom will be able to receive comics on Tuesdays for sale on Wednesdays. Currently only the larger stores have the option of Tuesday delivery; most everyone else receives shipments on Wednesday morning.
Although Tuesday delivery has been bandied about for years, the proposition gained traction in April at the Diamond Retailer Summit at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo. The distributor followed a request for a show of hands with a formal survey in which more than 52 percent of responding retailers said they would "benefit significantly" from day-early delivery.
During the presentation at the April summit, retailers were told that those who opt for Tuesday delivery will have to pay a $5-a-week charge to fund a mystery shopper program to help ensure Wednesday street dates aren't broken. According to Heidi MacDonald, that is still under review.
Day-early delivery will take effect with shipments delivered on Jan. 11 for sale on Jan. 12. Read Diamond's official announcement after the break:
Effective in January, 2011, Diamond retailers in North America and the UK will have the option of "day-early" delivery of weekly product shipments on Tuesdays for sale on Wednesdays.
Day-early delivery – which was outlined to retailers in the form of a Q&A following Diamond's Retailer Summit in April — will take effect with shipments delivered on Tuesday, January 11, that have a scheduled on-sale date of Wednesday, January 12.
Please Note: The current industrywide Wednesday new release day will remain unchanged, and retailers who do not wish to use the new option may continue to receive their shipments on Wednesdays.
"Our decision to proceed with day-early, Tuesday-for-Wednesday delivery resulted from positive discussions with leading publishers and vendors, from retailer requests and feedback, and from retailer responses to our recent survey on the topic," explained Diamond Vice President of Sales & Marketing Roger Fletcher.
In that survey, retailers were asked how they thought the day-early option would affect their business and the Direct Market. "Of more than 1,000 retailers who responded to the survey," Fletcher said, "75% believe day-early delivery will benefit their business, while 72% believe it will benefit the entire Direct Market."
The survey also asked retailers: "If given the choice between Monday delivery for Tuesday on-sale, and Tuesday delivery for Wednesday on-sale, what would be your preference?" Retailers could choose between the two options, or for "Either Monday for Tuesday or Tuesday for Wednesday."
"The number of respondents who selected Tuesday delivery for Wednesday on-sale and the 'Either' option totaled 63%," Fletcher said, "while those selecting the Monday-for-Tuesday alternative and the 'Either' option totaled 38%. This encouraging consensus has convinced us that moving forward with day-early delivery for Wednesday on-sale holds considerable advantages for vendors, retailers, and the industry."
With the implementation of day-early delivery, Diamond will also initiate a "mystery shopper" program to ensure that participating retailers abide by the industrywide Wednesday release date for books received on Tuesday.
Fletcher urged retailers to "stay tuned" to Diamond Daily and Diamond Dateline for more details about registering for the day-early delivery option.
Additionally, Diamond has announced that — working in concert with vendors — Diamond will deliver product on its normal Wednesday schedule in December. The first shipment of 2011 will arrive after the New Year's holiday on Wednesday, January 5. Day-early shipping will commence the following week.
"During the holidays, our retailers and their customers depend upon Diamond to keep the newest and hottest product flowing into stores, and we'd like to thank our vendors for working with us to maintain our regular schedule," Fletcher said. "We'd also like to thank our vendors and our customers for working with us to get 2011 off to a great start by making the day-early shipping option a reality. We look forward to a smooth transition to what we feel will be a highly beneficial and profitable service."
Actually the $5 a week thing is NOT part of the initial announcement. I misunderstood.
I think this is great news! And thanks for the $5 update Heidi!
Hold on… AND THE UK?????
We get new comics Thursdays at the moment because of delivery, is this saying we will gte wednesday comics finally??
Ditto, comics being delivered on Wednesday would be very novel, not that it helps me as such as I'm only near enough to pick up my comics on Tuesdays and Fridays anyway unless I go out my way…
This is breaking fast on many sites and blogs, but many comic fans are misreading it…
RETAILERS will get delivery on Tuesday, but cannot put out for sale until Wednesday.
(Wednesday 10 a.m. was reported early on, but I have not seen an official time listed from DCD.)
New comic day, in the U.S. remains on Wednesdays.
(Also, this does not start until the 2nd shipment of 2011, it looks like DCD might avoid the "skip" week of last year, maybe.)
Not clarified are U.K, mystery shopper to come later, stores that already get Tuesday delivery, etc.
I'm not so certain that fans excitement can be seen as mis-reading this news. I think the fan excitement comes from us not having to wait until late into the afternoon/evening hours until our respective shops have had enough time to stock the inventory. Now, if the shops receive books on Tuesdays, the shops that have historically not been able to stock until late in the day may finally have their books available on Wednesday mornings.
How long until somebody ruins this by putting books on sale Tuesday?
There has been a version of this system used for book stores, video game stores, music stores for years. So far, no one has screwed it up yet.
Does anyone know if this applies to pick-ups as well? The store that I used to work for would get their deliveries on Wednesdays, but now they're opting to pick up on the Wednesday. I wonder if they'll be able to pick up their orders now a day earlier.
Cool! I'm sure my retailer will let me read them before I buy them on Wednesday so I can put all the spoilers up!
So comics will be on sale possibly a day earlier, so what? Seriously after all the euphoria, will it make the product any more desirable to buy?….somehow i doubt it.
And so what if someone does decide to allow customers to buy on a Tuesday instead of waiting, i mean come on, we're only talking about comics here, not national secrets, are we expecting the industry to crumble because someone breaks the rules?!?!?!?!
With sales dropping like a stone these days, i'd think any initiative that actually encourages people to buy should be applauded.
I wonder if the books will be up a day early on the torrent sites as well? wink

Explosive New Book "Edge of Dawn" by Jim Muturi examines Global Crisis
The "Edge of Dawn" is a Christian book geared towards injecting hope in a world that is reeling out of control. Jim Muturi examines Matthew 24 afresh and communicates its truths to a 21st century mindset.
Ever wondered where the world is going with the current global socio-political and economic crisis? Does it look like things are getting worse and with no end in sight to the wars, recession, crime rate, racism and bigotry? How about the resurgence of previously eliminated diseases? These and more gloomy stories dominate our evening news. But these same events had been foretold by bible prophets centuries ago.
The "Edge of Dawn" is a Christian living, self-help book geared towards injecting hope in a world that is reeling out of control. Jim Muturi examines Matthew 24 afresh and juxtapositions it against the book of Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel, Acts and among others. His insights provide a fresh look at what Jesus really meant when he answered his disciples in Matthew 24 and whether what we are witnessing now in the news is an unfolding of these words.
The book also goes further and provides helpful insights into the fact that the current global crisis is actually paving the way, or setting the stage so to speak, for the ushering in of a new millennium of peace and prosperity. But while the bible does teach of glorious times ahead, especially for those that have vested their lives in God, troubling times lie ahead. This in and of itself has the potential to cause alarm and apprehension. But Jesus said that these are nothing but "birth pains". At the end of every birth pain is a birth. In order to weather the storms that lay ahead, Jim Muturi has offered divine insights into biblical teachings geared at explaining why we suffer, the attitude we are to take, the powers behind today's headlines and much more.
The target audience for this book is people struggling with answers and people who feel that they just can't cope with the crisis. Regardless of what crisis one is undergoing, there is hope in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, since he is the only Person who overcame the current world system.
Jim Muturi is a bible teacher and scholar currently pursuing a degree in Theology, Apologetics and Pastoral Studies. He has been writing commercially for the last 20 years including running and editing a Christian magazine. He is also an information technology expert with extensive hands-on experience in computers, website design, search engine marketing and social media.

The Back Room announces the following upcoming shows
Published: Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 19, 2009 at 4:16 p.m.
The Lone Derangers will perform at 9 p.m. Friday. The bands eclectic repertoire embraces Americana and folk/rock. Noted for its great harmonies and unique arrangements, each band member brings his own twist to the songs the group performs.
Zeppelin Floyd night will be held at 9 p.m. Saturday. Eric Congdon and Steve Whiteside will be the featured artists.
Songwriter Night will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 3. Featured performers will be Emily White, Mara Levi and Nancy Eddy.
Whites stage presence is a compelling and quirky blend of humor and storytelling that wins new fans at each show, and her music is captivating and honest.

Pimco's Loss Is a Win for Wall Street Crooks: Jonathan Weil
Crime didn't pay for Joseph Collins, a former corporate lawyer who received a seven-year prison sentence in January for securities fraud. It just has cost him a lot less money than it should have.
Collins, a former partner at the law firm Mayer Brown LLP, was the chief outside counsel for Refco Inc. when the futures- trading firm collapsed in October 2005, two months after its initial public offering. He was convicted last July on five felony counts for helping Refco executives fleece the company's investors and lenders of $2.4 billion. Yet Collins, 60, hasn't been forced to pay compensation to anyone who lost money when Refco went bust.
That's mainly because Congress has made sure only the government has the right to bring civil court claims against defendants for aiding and abetting securities fraud. Private litigants are barred from doing so under federal law. That means outside investors typically have no means to seek redress in such cases, unless prosecutors or regulators choose to pursue restitution for them. As for the Collins case, the government has proved worthless in that respect.
Last week, the Securities and Exchange Commission settled its own civil complaint against Collins. His deal included no monetary penalties. His only punishment was a court order barring him from violating the securities laws' anti-fraud provisions in the future. He also was allowed to settle the suit without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, an absurd formality considering he's already been found guilty of a crime.
No Recovery
Investors aren't slated to recover any money as part of his conviction, either. His sentence included a mere $500 fine. The judge who presided over his trial denied prosecutors' request for a forfeiture order, under which Collins's assets could have been used to compensate victims of Refco's fraud.
Before that, Collins and Mayer Brown got off scot free in an investor lawsuit led by Pacific Investment Management Co., the world's largest bond-fund manager. The federal district judge overseeing that case, Gerard Lynch of New York, threw out the plaintiffs' claims against Collins and his former firm last year.
"It is perhaps dismaying that participants in a fraudulent scheme who may even have committed criminal acts are not answerable in damages to the victims of the fraud," Lynch wrote in an opinion upheld two months ago by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. "The fact that the plaintiff-investors have no claim is the result of a policy choice by Congress." He added that "this choice may be ripe for legislative re-examination."
Change Rejected
Members of Congress did reconsider the policy last week at the House-Senate conference committee, where final terms of the financial-overhaul legislation are being negotiated. However, senators on the committee rejected a House amendment that would have restored aiding-and-abetting liability claims for private litigants. They offered instead to have the Government Accountability Office study the merits of such a proposal, which is a polite way of killing it.
The beneficiaries of the status quo include corporate law firms, accounting firms and investment banks. The way the law works now, under a 2008 U.S. Supreme Court ruling known as the Stoneridge decision, private-sector plaintiffs must prove they relied upon a defendant's material misrepresentation or omission of fact to prevail in a securities-fraud suit.
Collins drafted SEC filings and other documents that Refco used to cheat investors. Prosecutors alleged he knew about the long-running fraud and helped conceal it. However, neither he nor Mayer Brown made any public representations about Refco, meaning they made no misstatements that the public could have relied upon. So Pimco lost its case against them.
Not Clear Yet
To be sure, Collins isn't in the clear yet. He and Mayer Brown are defendants in a separate suit by three funds associated with Thomas H. Lee Partners LP, over representations Collins made to the private-equity firm in connection with its purchase of a majority stake in Refco in 2004, before the IPO.
As for the government's efforts, the judge in the criminal proceedings, Robert Patterson of New York, rejected prosecutors' request for a forfeiture order after concluding that Collins received no personal benefit for his participation in the fraud. Prosecutors are appealing that ruling, as well they should.
Mayer Brown billed Refco, Collins's most lucrative client, more than $40 million in fees from 1997 through 2005, according to court records. Collins's annual income usually topped $1 million during the same time span. The SEC nonetheless agreed with Patterson's ruling, which paved the way for Collins's sweetheart settlement with the commission.
True justice for investors duped by Refco would include the opportunity to seize everything Collins owns. As Eddie Murphy's character Billy Ray Valentine said in the 1983 hit comedy, "Trading Places," the best way to hurt rich people is to turn them into poor people. The Congress instead has decided to protect fraudsters such as Collins from the public. It's supposed to be the other way around.

CNBC's Morgan Brennan reports on energy companies who have reduced or suspended their dividend payouts even as oil rallies. » Read More
Stocks closed modestly higher as oil and precious metals staged a strong comeback, sending prices in the energy and materials sectors higher.
Stocks held firm gains in the final hour of trading on Monday as a rebound in oil and precious metals pushed energy and materials sectors higher.
What follows is a roundup of corporate earnings reports for Thursday, April 21.
One year after the BP oil spill, and one week after Goldman Sachs told investors to take oil profits, independent oil trader Dan Dicker says oil has farther to go, and offers up his favorite trades.
If you're bearish and betting on significant downside, strategic investor Dennis Gartman would like a word.
Investors are closely watching the action in oil services names after the US government issued its first deepwater drilling permit since the BP catastrophe.
We're likely to see the moratorium lifted on more of the 16 wells in the Gulf of Mexico (operated by 13 different companies) that have been under the moratorium since last year. But this is not necessarily a shift in the Obama administration's offshore drilling policy.
Here's our Fast Money Final Trade. Our gang gives you tomorrow's best trades, right now! Also part 1 of the gang's 'Beat China' series.
The U.S. has approved its first deepwater drilling permit after the BP spill. This first permit went to Noble Energy, which is an exploration and production company. This will be a benefit to many deepwater drillers.
Stocks closed February on a strong note, leading to three consecutive months of gains, as all the major indices gained in the final minutes of trading. J&J and Verizon rose, while Intel fell.
Stocks traded mixed Monday, as blue chips advanced and small stocks slumped, yet the market was still on track to start the year with two straight months of gains. Johnson & Johnson and HP gained, while Intel fell.
With energy the one bright spot in an otherwise bleak market, should you get in too? Or is this trade about to reverse?
With unrest spreading across the Middle East, Israel has begun to use more aggressive tone in comments about Iran. Is energy about to become the market's wildcard?
We've updated this post with even more plays from the Fast Money traders.
Hot numbers out of China and turmoil in the Middle East sent commodities higher, Tuesday. But don't fret. The Fast traders have a slew of ways to profit from inflation.
What follows is a roundup of corporate earnings reports for Thursday, Feb. 3.
A growing chorus of strategists, including top BofA Merrill analyst Maryann Bartels, warns us to prepare for a pullback.
Big is better this year, especially multinationals in energy, health care , tech and industrials. "Don't be underweight in global gorillas that are under loved," says one strategist.
Considering gold broke below its December low of $1360, did the bubble just pop? Find out why Dennis Gartman says no way!
Stocks declined as investors digested a mixed employment report and turned their attention to next week's earnings season.

Appointment of judges: Opinions of govts to be considered, says CJI
Chennai: Chief Justice of India P Sathasivam on Tuesday said the Central and state governments were free to express their opinions and objections, which would be taken into account, while appointing judges for the Supreme Court and various High Courts in the country.
Speaking at the inauguration of Alternative Disputes Resolution Centre here, he said, though judges were not elected members by the people but lawyers and judges were ultimately accountable to the people.
Emphasizing the need for the judiciary to give priority to cases relating to women, children and socially backward communities and minorities, he said he had written to Chief Justices of all High Courts in this regard, after assuming office.
Observing that Alternate Dispute Resolution mechanism should not be taken as only a mode to reduce pendency of cases, the CJI said that it also allowed litigants to reduce misunderstandings among themselves.
Stressing the need of judges to be equipped with knowledge in latest technologies, he said it would be required to have both national and international perspective to decide cases in future.
He said the administrative control of High Courts over subordinate judiciary was comprehensive and complete and added that being in the apex of judicial administration of the state, Chief Justice and other High Court judges have a shared responsibility to access performance of subordinate judges periodically.
There was a steady decline in the reputation of judiciary in the country, he observed.
Though judiciary was India's most respected institution, unfortunately, there was a steady decline in the reputation of the judiciary as well as the legal profession, he said.
He said the judiciary, unlike other institutions in the democratic setup, thrived only on trust and confidence reposed by people and the virtuous image of this institution in the eyes of public was imperative for dispensing justice.

Parking Alerts

The Clybourn level will have permit parking.
July 13
No permit parking on the 11th Street level until 2pm.
The Clybourn level will have permit parking.
Dear Law School Community,
For the past month, our parking system has been experiencing issues causing it to shutdown unexpectedly. I understand this can be (very) frustrating. Here is how you should proceed.
If you enter an Eckstein Hall parking level that is full, please do not illegally park – that is, do not park in a place that is not a parking spot. You should leave the lot and park in your assigned structure or lot. Otherwise, not only will you be ticketed, but you could lose parking privileges for a year.
And if the system is down, causing your ID to not work, please do not pull a ticket and plan to park unless you are willing to pay the parking fee (Monday-Friday $30; Saturday-Sunday $3). If you must pull a ticket (for example, because there is a line behind you), you should go into the lot and circle around to leave: there is a seven-minute "grace period" in which all you have to do to leave is to insert the ticket. You do not need to leave your car and have that ticket validated.
We are aware of this inconvenience and are working with University officials to find a solution. Your cooperation as community members is important and appreciated. THANK you.
Christine Wilczynski-Vogel
Associate Dean for External Relations, Events, and Facilities
Simple Rules to be a Happy Eckstein Hall Parker …
Eckstein Hall parking levels fill quickly. Arrive to campus with the expectation you will park in your assigned lot on campus. This guarantees a timely arrival for classes.
The Gesu Church surface parking lot is NOT a Marquette Law School parking lot – if you are caught parking there, please be prepared to receive a ticket and possibly lose your Eckstein Hall parking privileges.
The Gesu Church surface parking lot is NOT free & open parking after 5pm. Again, if you are caught parking there, please be prepared to receive a ticket and possibly lose your Eckstein Hall parking privileges.
When entering the Eckstein Hall parking garage, unless you intend to pay for visiting parking, the only reason to pull a ticket is because your MU ID is not working and there are cars behind you, so you can't back up. In that case, pull the ticket, leave immediately by putting the ticket in the exit gate ticket machine, and go to your assigned lot. You have a 7 minute grace period to exit with the ticket you just pulled – after that be prepared to pay the $30 parking fee. Your parking ticket will not be validated if you are in the lot more than 7 minutes.
Please note that if your MUID does not work for parking – you will need to park in your assigned lot until the issue with your card can be resolved. You can email Parking directly to have your ID fixed (supply your name, MU ID, and the type of parking you purchased for the semester) or you can report the issue to the 244B Office and someone will communicate with Parking regarding your ID.

I am trying to migrate some old Windows installs into VirtualBox. I have tried a few different tools including Clonezilla and Disk2VHD to create my virtual disks but cannot get the newly created virtual machines to boot. So far I have made a Windows 7 machine and a Windows XP machine and both BSOD with a 0x000007B code. I have googled the code and followed several tutorials to fix this (most assuming your install is on a real HDD) including running MBR repair tools and CHKDSK /r with no improvement.
How do I get my virtual HDD to boot?
Installing Windows from scratch works fine, but I want to revive these old installs.
I run Ubuntu 13.04 as my Host OS. I have a clean install of Windows 7 in a VM that I am using to run any Windows based recovery tools (such as Disk2VHD). The old Windows installs are on old hard disks that have been put into USB caddies.

Green Mountain Power works to restore outages from stormJuly 04,2014Green Mountain Power issued the following press release this morning:
Green Mountain Power has restored power to more than 20,000 customers who lost power during yesterday's storm. The areas where damage was most extensive include towns along the Route 4 corridor, particularly around Poultney, Springfield, and Sunderland.
"The reported 70 mile per hour winds brought down hundreds of trees onto lines and broke dozens of poles," said Dorothy Schnure, GMP corporate spokesperson. "Each of these events needs a line crew and a tree crew, and can take anywhere from 30 minutes to make repairs to half a day or more if the damage is extensive."
Green Mountain Power crews worked through the night in difficult conditions, assisted by more than 110 contract lineworkers and tree trimmers. Fresh crews are arriving today from Canada and southern New England to keep an intensive effort to restore power as quickly as possible.
"We've made significant progress restoring power overnight and expect to get most customers restored by late today," said Schnure. "But in the areas with severe damage, we expect to be working on restoring customers' power well through the weekend."
"For the latest information, we will post updates through Facebook, Twitter, and media announcements," Schnure said. "We have put together a large contingent of workers to restore power as quickly as we can."
GMP offered the following safety advice for the public when experiencing high winds and thunderstorms:
* Treat any downed line as if it is live and stay at least 50 feet away from the line, and keep children and pets away.
* Contact GMP at 1-888-835-4672 to report downed lines and your local first responders if the lines are blocking roadways.

Film The Dark Morning
posted by July 21 at 10:25 AMon
Now that everyone has seen The Dark Knight—now that it has broken the record for top-grossing box-office weekend in U.S. history—can we talk about how excellent Heath Ledger is and how limp and drawn out most of the rest of it is?
Paul Constant, who I think agrees with me, writes in next week's Stranger Suggests:
The Dark Knight is not "the best movie ever," as many internet nerds have proclaimed. Nor is it even the best movie of the year. But it is truly a great movie, packed with excellent performances (Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart) and thrilling, non-CGI special effects. Plus, Batman! And 30 minutes of the thing were filmed with an IMAX-exclusive camera, which means that if you watch it on an IMAX screen (highly recommended—movie times here) you're in for some vertiginous eyegasms.

Read an Excerpt
All paul clermont wanted to do was to conduct his business, rid himself of one unwanted family inheritance and then get out of the heat and humidity of Indigo, Louisiana.
He'd been doing exactly thatuntil a woman he'd never met screeched into the driveway in a spray of gravel. She'd jumped out of her car and planted herself between him and the real estate agent who held a For Sale sign. "You can't sell this building," the other woman said.
"I'm the owner," he explained. "I can sell it if I want to."
The tall, lean brunette parked her fists on her hips. She was an attractive woman, with a long, neat French braid running down her back. A few stray tendrils wisped around her face, tickling at the soft pink of her cheeks.
She was beautifulif he ignored the look of annoyance on her face. "All these months, we've been trying to contact you. Now you show up to sell the place?"
He quirked a grin at her to show her he wasn't evil incarnate. His ex-wife, however, might disagree. "I'm making a business decision, nothing more. And I think Sandra here" he thumbed in the direction of the agent who stood mute and frozen in place, holding the sign "has no issue with me selling this place. Why do you?"
The temper in the brunette's vibrant blue eyes simmered steadily. "Because I care about this building, unlike you."
The blasted Louisiana heat had soaked Paul clear through, even though it was October. If there was a god of humidity, this place would be his headquarters. Paul had been in Louisiana for a few days, doing a follow-up story on hurricane recovery efforts, and had decided to stop by to finally see the property his family hadbragged about for years. Clearly, none of them had paid a visit here recently, at least not in this century.
"If you like this place so much," he said, "buy it yourself. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get this this thing" he waved at the dilapidated building beside them "listed."
"It is not a thing," she said. "It's a legacy."
Paul took in a deep breath to calm himself. At the same time, a small chunk of siding fell from the wallmore proof the place wasn't worth the land it sat onand tumbled to the ground, landing in a jumble of vines and weeds.
The rest of the plantings were, he had to admit, well-tended, as if someone had been working on the grounds but hadn't yet tackled that particular section. Window boxes beneath the tall, elaborate front windows were filled with blooming flowers, and small, carefully trimmed shrubs bordered two sides of the building's exterior.
The opera house had been beautiful once, that was clear. The two-story building had been designed in an imposing Greek Revival style, with tall, arched windows that framed carved double doors large enough for Goliath.
A wrought-iron balcony formed an impressive presence. Paul glanced up, following the lines of a magnificent cupola, which looked freshly restored, along with the roof.
He considered taking out his camera again. His gaze drifted over the opera house, seeing it with his photographer's eyerather than that of a jaded ownerand for a brief moment the place inspired a feeling of magic, and a direct link to the past.
But then, as he looked closer, he saw the flaws. The peeling white paint, a split window frame, the torn curtains inside.
It was a gorgeous buildingthat was falling apart at the seams.
He'd taken a few shots of it when he'd first arrived, intrigued by the intricacies of the design, the elegant air amid such a rustic setting. But that was all he wanted, a picture or two that he might be able to sell to his editor down the road, or to some architectural magazine.
As he looked at this "family legacy," Paul figured his uncle Neil, who'd died two months ago, had either a mean sense of humor or a vision problem. The opera house had been passed down through a long line of Valois generations, going eventually to Uncle Neil and now Paul.
After all these years, however, the building defined decrepit, reminding him of Miss Haversham's crazy house in Dickens's Great Expectations.
"Why sell it?" the woman asked him. "All you have to do is own it. Amelie Valois's will appointed Indigo as its caretaker. We'll go on doing what we do, and you go on back to whatever it is you do." She paused. "Unless you want to sell it to the town?"
"Is Indigo willing to pay enough to recoup my investment? I just paid off a very much overdue tax bill on this property."
"Considering the town's limited tax base, we could offer," she hesitated, "a dollar."
Paul snorted. "A dollar? That doesn't even pay for the gas it took me to get here." He turned back to Sandra. "Where do I sign?"
"Sandra, talk him out of this," the woman said.
"You know what the opera house means to the town."
The agent's face went as pale as the white sign she held. She couldn't be a day over twenty, and he suspected she wasn't used to being caught in the crossfire of a verbal brawl over an MLS listing. "Perhaps you want to come back later?" she squeaked. "Do you even know what this building is?" the woman asked.
Her again. With the agent about as useful as a stone, Paul had no choice but to deal with the spitfire. He sighed. "The Indigo Opera House. And also a mess."
She let out a gust of frustration that Paul would swear was tinged with smoke. "It's a cultural icon. You can not put it up for sale."
"Are you deaf as a haddock?" he demanded.
"Because I've already told you that I can, and I am."
Sandra was quaking in her black flats. "Mr. Clermont, you really should hear Marjo out. She's got a point. And, uh, in all honesty, I think Marjo would kill me if I put this For Sale sign up."
So her name was Marjo. It had a nice ring to it, but it came attached to a woman who did, as Sandra had pointed out, look ready to commit a homicide right here on the wide stepswith him outlined in chalk. "All right, Miss"
"Savoy. Marjolaine Savoy."
"Miss Savoy," he corrected, "I'll hear you out." He flung out his wrist and glanced at the beaten watch that had survived several near-death experiences in his travels. "You've got three minutes."
Although she looked as if she'd rather let out one hell of a high-pitched scream, Marjo bit her tongue, sucked in a breath and eyed him squarely. "The Indigo Opera House was built by Alexandre Valois for his wife just before the Civil War and has been an integral part of this town for centuries. You can't sell it. Indigo is counting on reopening it for the music festival at the end of the month. If you had read any of the letters we have been sending you, you'd know all this."
He didn't bother telling her that he was so rarely home in Nova Scotia that sending him mail was a waste of time. Or that his uncle Neil had been bedridden in the last few months of his life, and probably not up to corresponding with this woman or her committee. He'd heard stories about the opera house over the years, but given the way his Cape Breton family tended to exaggerate at family get-togethers, he'd figured it was more myth than fact. If there was one thing Capers were good at, it was concocting a tale tall enough to rival Paul Bunyan.
When Paul had learned of his inheritance, he'd initially ignored it, intending to deal with it when he had time. That time had never come. One assignment after another had kept him out of Canada more than he was in it.
Then a past-due tax bill had arrived, and after a brief investigation, Paul learned that Uncle Neil had squandered the Valois inheritance on bad stocks and left the property as a negative investment for Paul. The unexpected blow to his wallet had been enough to send him down here between assignments to get rid of the property before he put another dime into it.
Paul wiped his palms together. "I just want to let it become someone else's problem."
Her gaze narrowed. "Aren't you a descendant of Amelie Valois?"
"Then this" she swept her palm in the direction of the fixer-upper "is your legacy, too."
"Lady, I don't do legacies. I don't put down roots. I don't get to know the neighbors. And I don't renovate opera houses just because some uncle I've seen maybe five times in my life saw fit to dump this thing in my lap." He gave her another grin, then tipped an invisible hat in Sandra's direction.
"And since you seem so damned determined to get in my way, I'll have to finish this real estate business later."
"You will not"
He took a step toward her. If they hadn't been so filled with frustration, her deep blue eyes would stop a man in his tracks. They were the kind that would have intrigued him, had him wondering what thoughts were hidden behind themon any other day but this one. "Maybe this building is important to you, but it's not worth a damn thing to me. I will sell it and you won't stop me."
Then he turned on his heel and walked back to his rental car. He heard her muttering unflattering comparisons between him and several species of fourlegged animals.
If Marjolaine Savoy was on Indigo's welcome committee, it was no wonder the town's human population was lower than its alligator one.
HER MOTHER'S Pfaltzgraff had never taken such a beating. Marjo had come home from the confrontation in front of the opera house and started cleaning. She took out her frustrations on the dishes, seeing Paul Clermont's face in every soap bubble. She tried to scrub his image off the dinner plates, but he stubbornly refused to go.
"Are you okay, Marjo?" A soft hand on her shoulder, and instantly her temper subsided.
She turned to look into the sweet, trusting eyes of her younger brother. "Yes, Gabriel, I am. Just a little frustrated today, that's all."
He looked at the dishes and the sloshed water all over the countertop. "Did you have hard-toclean plates?"
It took her a second to make the connection. "Oh, no, no. Just a bad day overall."
"Poor Marjo." Gabriel reached out and pulled her into a hug, a tight, nearly smothering embrace that pressed her face into the crook of his shoulder. When had her brother gotten so tall? He'd always seemed little to her, as if he'd never passed the age where he needed her to walk him to the bus, to be sure he had his lunch money, his math book.
Despite the years that had passed, one thing hadn't changed: the protective love of the brother who had relied on her ever since their parents had died. To others, his embraces might seem needy, but she understood them.
When Gabriel loved someone, he loved fiercely, with no judgments, no boundaries. Marjo thanked God once again for his calming, accepting presence.
When he finally let go, she looked up at him and smiled. "You're the best, Gabriel. You always know exactly what I need."
"You feel better?" His sea-green eyes were still shadowed by concern.
She nodded. "I do." "Good." A bright smile broke across his face. "Can I have some peanut butter?"
Marjo laughed and made him a sandwich, which he happily took out to the front porch to eat, sitting in the rocker and pushing off from time to time, rocking in the easy breeze. Gabriel was like that, so concerned, so ready to help, and then just as quickly content with a couple pieces of bread, some peanut butter and a cushy seat on the old wooden porch.
After the death of their parents in a car accident, she had been left to care for then five-year-old Gabriel, whose IQ was now around seventy. Because he was at the high end of the mental disability scale, the doctors had said Gabriel would be able to live on his own someday, needing only minimal assistance from Marjo in doing things like filling out loan and job applications, making big decisions.
But Gabriel was sweet and trusting, often too much so. Over the years there had been cruel children who had taken advantage of his mild nature. He'd also been the kind of kid who would run after a butterfly in the middle of his own birthday party, or who would forget his shoes and be halfway to school before he noticed.
Stepping into the role of Gabriel's caretaker had been a no-brainer, really, even though Marjo had been nineteen, in her second year of college and on the cusp of starting her own life.
Gabriel had needed her, needed someone who loved him, understood him and could make sure he avoided the potholes and speed bumps in life.
So she was there.
She watched him munch away, without a care in the world, and again felt the heaviness of the day descend upon her shoulders. Damn that Paul Clermont. There was no way he was going to sell the opera house, not when the restoration committee was on the verge of restoring it to its former glory.
The CajunFest was a mere two weeks away. Local businesses were counting on the festival to draw in people from all over the area, particularly the ones who often overlooked Indigo in favor of the more touristy St. Martinville and New Iberia. The bean counters on the festival committee were talking thousands of visitors during the course of the day, and the money spent would mean a financial windfall for Indigo.

In spite of the significant potential of cellulose nanocrystals as functional nanoparticles for numerous applications, a fundamental understanding of the mechanical properties of defect-free, crystalline cellulose is still lacking. In this paper, the elasticity matrix for cellulose Iβ with hydrogen bonding network A was calculated using ab initio density functional theory with a semi-empirical correction for van der Waals interactions. The computed Young's modulus is found to be 206 GPa along [001] (c-axis), 98 GPa along [010] (b-axis), and 19 GPa along [100] (a-axis). Full compliance matrices are reported for 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 % applied strains Color contour surfaces that show variations of the Young's modulus and average Poisson's ratio with crystallographic direction revealed the extreme anisotropies of these important mechanical properties. The sensitivity of the elastic parameters to misalignments in the crystal were examined with 2D polar plots within selected planes containing specific bonding characteristics; these are used to explain the substantial variability in the reported experimental Young's moduli values. Results for the lattice directions [001], [010] and [100] are within the range of reported experimental and other numerical values.

OK, I'm trying to explain what I want to achieve in another way. Here's an example:
Say if it's an anti virus program, and user can choose between two ways to run the program, choice one, automatically start to scan disks for virus when the program starts up, choice two, hit the start button to make the program scan disks for virus after the program starts up any time the user wants. So, as a wxpython beginner, I know how to bind wx.EVT_BUTTON to let scanning start after the user hit the start button, but I don't know how to make the scanning start once the program starts up. I wonder if there's a program_start event I can bind? Hope you guys can help me out. Thanks!
