Top Rank: Antonio DeMarco returns on Jan. 11
Former WBC lightweight titleholder Antonio DeMarco will fight as a junior welterweight for the second straight time on Jan. 11 when he meets Jesus Gurrola in Tijuana, Mexico.

Manny Pacquiao says that a bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. could not happen until 2015 if Mayweather is not willing to work with Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum.
Floyd Mayweather has acknowledged the potential for bouts with either Amir Khan or Marcos Maidana, while dismissing the notion of a fight with Manny Pacquiao.
Trainer Virgil Hunter believes Amir Khan "can shock the world" and defeat Floyd Mayweather Jr. if his fighter gets a shot at the reigning welterweight and junior middleweight champ on May 3.
Andre Berto, a loser of three of his past four bouts in the ring, continues to be a winner in support of Haitian relief efforts following the devastating earthquake of 2010.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. suggests that Marcos Maidana is a more likely opponent than Manny Pacquiao, and that Adrien Broner's next fight should be on his undercard in May.
Among the things Golden Boy President Oscar De La Hoya said to rival Top Rank CEO Bob Arum during their exchanged Christmas greetings on Twitter was "Let's make these fights for the fans."
Robert Garcia on Marcos Maidana's win over Adrien Broner: "We were ready to throw 100 punches a round. We know that's the only way to beat somebody like Adrien Broner, or that's the way to beat somebody like Floyd Mayweather [Jr.,]. That's the way [Roberto] Duran beat Sugar Ray Leonard."
Victor Ortiz will return to the ring for the first time in 19 months against Luis Collazo in a Fox Sports 1-televised battle of left-handed former titleholders.
Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer on Marcos Maidana-Adrien Broner: "I would like to see a rematch. I would like a rematch at the Alamodome. There is no rematch clause."
WBA welterweight titleholder Adrien Broner has a speedy boxing style that usually troubles challlenger Marcos Maidana, who may employ an aggressive strategy that once stymied Broner. RingTV.com polled 25 boxing insiders/fans about whose style will prevail on Saturday.
Adrien Broner's trainer Mike Stafford said the undefeated WBA welterweight beltholder is going to "make Marcos to Maidana look so bad, that he's going to look like an amateur" during their showdown in San Antonio on Saturday.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. plans to return to the ring in May and could name his opponent as early as next week.
Marcos Maidana says Adrien Broner "has not been tested by a natural welterweight like me. That's why this is the hardest fight of his life." Maidana challenges Broner for the WBA 147-pound title on Dec. 14.
Miguel Cotto is considering a confirmed package of at least $10 million from Golden Boy Promotions to face Canelo Alvarez, but a widely-reported offer of $15 million to fight middleweight champ Sergio Martinez is unconfirmed.
Devon Alexander's trainer Kevin Cunningham: "Shawn Porter is going to find out that he's in way out of his league and that they bit off more than they can chew. That's going to be crystal clear on Dec. 7."
Undefeated featherweight Gary Russell Jr. is scheduled to return to the ring against an opponent to be determined on the undercard of a Dec. 13 Golden Boy Live! event at the the Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino in Indio, Calif.
Antonio Tarver weighed 221 pounds for his heavyweight bout on Tuesday against Mike Sheppard, who weighed 227.6 pounds for the Golden Boy Live! main event on Fox Sports 1. "This is my re-introduction to the boxing world," said Tarver.
Unbeaten Cuban heavyweight Luis Ortiz has signed a co-promotional deal with Golden Boy Promotions and Dade Promotions.
Marcos Maidana on challenging WBA welterweight beltholder Adrien Broner on Dec. 14: "… once he feels my punches and my power… Broner will either quit or end up getting knocked out because he has never been tested."

Clarification: At no point was Shawn Neal a dental hygienist, and at no point did Shawn Neal claim to be a dental hygienist.
The fraud trial for former state school superintendent Linda Schrenko continues in Atlanta.
We found out Monday afternoon how Schrenko and Merle Temple were involved in getting those $590 checks into Schrenko's gubernatorial campaign.
The government called Shawn Neal to the stand today.
Neal testified today she was the office manager at the Wheeler Road dental office of Dr. Katherine Cooper, Linda Schrenko's daughter, in the summer of 2002, when Schrenko and Temple came into the office.
Neal testified Linda Schrenko herself said she needed some people to sign some checks for her campaign. Neal testified Schrenko told her to endorse the backs of those $590 checks, as if Neal worked for Schrenko.
Neal said she not only endorsed checks written out to her, but also those written out for her husband, Jason Neal. Neal said she signed the backs of the checks, but said she never filled her or her husband's name in on the payee line.
Neal testified Schrenko told her it was okay and slid the checks across the desk for Neal to endorse.
Neal also said Kristi Secord and Becky Russell endorsed checks made out to them. Both women work in Dr. Cooper's office. She added that she knew Schrenko herself filled out at least one check's payee line, because Schrenko had misspelled Becky Russell's name--spelling the last name with one "L".
Remember this is money that prosecutors say came from federal education money given to an Atlanta computer company.
On cross-examination, Pete Theodocian, Schrenko's attorney, asked Neal if Schrenko or Dr. Cooper ever asked her to lie, and she said "No." When he asked, "Do you think a lot of Linda Schrenko," she replied, "I did."
Neal also said she was told she'd be taking part in a focus group, that someone else would be calling later to ask her some questions...as if it were a survey.
She also said she never got that survey call.
Campaign treasurer Harry Dolnick took the stand after Neal, and the day finished with former campaign manager Richard Leonard testifying for the prosecution.
The government showed exhibits demonstrating that Schrenko's campaign was broke until this federal education money started allegedly filtering back.
That's when the government says a second "media account" was opened up to help the campaign make large buys of television time for campaign ads.
Each witness can take awhile.
They have to be questioned by the prosecutor, then cross-examined by each of the three co-defendant's lawyers.
Then, the government can redirect and question that same person again.
There are still several notable witnesses to go, including: Sue Burmeister, Richard Leonard, Tim Shelnut, Merle Temple, and Linda Schrenko herself.
The government was worried one of Linda Schrenko's co-defendants would try to flee the country. Stephan Botes told News 12 this morning that the idea was "ridiculous".

- Bay Bridge technicians 'listen' for cracking in the steel anchor rods
OAKLAND -- The Bay Bridge's broken bolts have busted the schedule, forcing the construction team to postpone for weeks or months the opening of the Bay Area's new signature bridge while critics lambast the builders for missteps that contributed to the delay.
Citing a longer than expected timetable to retrofit the seismic stabilizers where key anchor rods snapped in March, the span will not open to traffic immediately the morning after Labor Day as planned. No new opening date has been set.
"Heads should roll," said Senate Transportation Committee Chairman Mark DeSaulnier, D-"Concord. "It's unconscionable that people have been exposed to so much risk of an earthquake on the old the bridge and paid so much for the new one. People need to be held accountable on these big projects."
Bay Area legislators got the bad news during a closed-door meeting in Sacramento on Monday morning with the Toll Bridge Program Oversight Committee, comprised of directors of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, California Transportation Commission and Caltrans.
The committee also released a scathing report detailing a cascade of missteps and errors that triggered the catastrophic failure of the high-strength bolts and a crisis of public confidence in the $6.4 billion span's seismic safety.
The oversight committee spread the blame liberally among Caltrans, bridge consulting engineers of record at T.Y. Lin and Moffatt & Nichol, and bridge contractor American Bridge/Fluor Enterprises.
The panel concluded that Caltrans and the consultants inappropriately applied a single industry standard for bolts without factoring the unique purposes and heavy loads required of the Bay Bridge fasteners.
The committee also criticized principle suspension span contractor American Bridge/Fluor Enterprises for allowing water to collect around the shear key bolts that later broke.
The foul-ups eventually led to the need for repairs to the seismic stabilizers in the large pier east of the tower where 32 out of 96 anchor rods snapped after contractors tightened them down.
Those repairs won't be done until Dec. 10 at an estimated cost of up to $20 million.
To fix the problem and handle the heavy loads originally intended for the steel rods, engineers have designed an exterior saddle and cable system. A saddle will be affixed to the top of the shear key with cables stretched over it and anchored on the outside of the shear key. Then the entire assembly will be encased in concrete.
None of the other fasteners on the bridge show signs of imminent fracture after subsequent testing although some may need to be replaced in coming years.
A new date for opening the span will likely be the topic of considerable debate Wednesday when the oversight committee appears before the Bay Area Toll Authority, the board of county and city elected officials who oversee toll funds.
The committee will "select a bridge opening date based upon actual completion of the east pier retrofit work, weather windows, traffic impacts and other information as it becomes available," according to a published statement.
The switch to the new span requires a four-day shutdown of the old bridge and Caltrans initially chose Labor Day weekend because traffic volumes are lower.
A post-Dec. 10 opening date puts the possible timetable into the Christmas season when the numbers of commuters on the bridge also declines.
But the shift also means potentially poor construction weather for paving, pouring concrete and lane striping.
Commuters asked Monday about the prospect of more delay expressed disappointment but preferred safety over speed.
"Safety first," said Dupriest Hill, who works in Oakland. "I think we should get it right. I would hate for a travesty to happen, like a failure of the bridge."
The open vs. close question once again pits engineers' predictions of an even more disastrous collapse of the 1936 span in the next temblor against public fears about the safety of a new bridge on the technological edge.
Some experts say any delay is dangerous. Waiting for the shear key retrofit is unnecessary, according to renowned experts including Frieder Seible, chairman of the Toll Bridge Program Seismic Safety Peer Review Panel.
The bridge doesn't need the shear keys except during an earthquake and the old 77-year-old span's extraordinary earthquake vulnerability outweighs the "minuscule" risk that the new span would weaken or fail without fully functioning shear keys, Seible said.
"The likelihood that a big earthquake will come between now and the time that the bolts are fixed is a very small exposure window when compared to the 150-year life span of the bridge," Seible said. "It is a risk worth taking compared to keeping traffic on the old bridge."
The opening day dilemma is the latest nail-biter in a suspense story that began 24 years ago. That's when the Loma Prieta earthquake shook loose a 250-ton piece of the Bay Bridge's upper deck and killed a motorist, one of 63 people who lost their lives in the shaker.
Bay Area residents ultimately demanded a safer, albeit iconic, bridge.
After years of bickering over the design and who would pay the fivefold cost overruns, the $6.4 billion span was on the verge of opening.
The modern 2-mile bridge is actually two spans -- a reinforced concrete box girder viaduct and the world's largest single-tower self-anchored suspension span -- linked to Oakland and Yerba Buena Island via complex transition structures.
The 2013 bridge is packed with seismic and construction innovations, many of them unprecedented at this scope and size, and tested only in laboratories.
Yet, nearly every engineer who has studied the existing 77-year-old bridge predicts it will suffer a catastrophic and possibly deadly failure when the next big temblor strikes the adjacent Hayward or San Andreas faults.
"The evidence is convincing that the new bridge is many, many times safer than the proven vulnerable old bridge," said Metropolitan Transportation Commission spokesman Randy Rentschler. "So, I don't have any doubt that we take the earlier opportunity we can to get traffic onto the new span. It is a function of the time it will take to get the retrofit done."

Montreal proved Pittsburgh has too many talented eggs in their center-basket... and the Flyers doing exactly what we said they would.
On the heels of Montreal's stunning upset of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia becoming just the sixth NHL team to force a Game 7 when down 3-0 in series, I have some thoughts.

What good do hand passes serve? whiteouts don't back the right team; and Dustin Byfuglien a clutch playoff performer.

A week away from the office wasn't supposed to be a week away from hockey, but that's exactly what it turned out to be.
It was a furious night of action Monday with two teams eliminated and another pushing its series to a seventh game. And for this weary traveler, it was a merciful reprieve from having to rely on ESPN for my hockey fix.

After going down 1-0 to their lower-seeded opponents, both Pittsburgh and New Jersey showed Friday why they were favored in the first place.
In the two early games Friday, things began to settle down and get back to where most pundits figured they'd be: with the favorites winning.

As the Flyers and Senators took Game 1 on the road, special teams proved to play a big role in the unexpected victories.
Sloppy play and nerves characterized the opening frames in both early games as the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs kicked off Wednesday night. But things settled down relatively quickly and, as is often the case in the playoffs, special teams became the story of the night.

Even though the on-ice product is great, there are many off-ice issues troubling the NHL and the best way to deal with them is to do one big overhaul.

Despite a messy ownership situation and two fan-displeasing trades, Atlanta is on the precipice of making its second trip to the post-season.

Ovie's hit on Brian Campbell is worthy of a five-game suspension, but the league is unlikely to take serious action against one of its most marketable assets.
He's had more game misconducts than any other NHLer this season, two for boarding and once for kneeing. He was criticized for his treatment of a fan with a camera at the Olympics.
by John Grigg - March 9, 2010 12:40 PM UTC
The NHL should look to the NFL's "unnecessary roughness" rule in order to curb excessive violent hits on the ice.
If Matt Cooke's hit on Marc Savard has done anything other than prove once again that Cooke is one of the NHL's most dangerous players, it has shone a glaring light on the fact the NHL needs to change its rules surrounding bodychecking.

Expectations were low for Colorado and Phoenix heading into this season, but now both teams have good reason to wheel and deal.
With six points separating eighth from 13th in both conferences, there are a limited number of sure-fire sellers for tomorrow's 3 p.m. trade deadline and, obviously, as many as 26 potential buyers.
by John Grigg - February 26, 2010 9:30 AM UTC
How did Canada go from almost losing to Switzerland to steamrolling Russia? It's simple: good coaching.
It's become obvious that each time Canada ices its best at the Olympics the same thing happens: everyone not wearing goalie pads defers to everyone else not wearing goalie pads.

SAN JOSE -- Sharks defenseman Brent Burns spent much of the offseason recovering from hernia surgery. Apparently that prevented him from shaving or combing his hair.
Burns' team photo for the Sharks, with his unkempt hair and a beard that appeared to not have been trimmed or shaven in at least a month, made a splash on the internet and Twitter on Thursday after it was posted on Yahoo!'s Puck Daddy hockey blog.
Some of Burns' teammates were shown his most recent team picture, and mostly shrugged their shoulders.
"I've seen him grow it, but not keep it so long," said defenseman Dan Boyle, whose locker is next to Burns' inside the dressing room at the Sharks practice facility. "Maybe it was a lockout beard. I don't know what he's got going on there."
Burns has not been at the facility in recent days and Sharks coach Todd McLellan did not have an update on Burns' injury, other than saying Burns has been continuing to receive treatment for the injury.

OAKLAND -- Joseph Blum is often asked if he photographed the building of the Golden Gate Bridge and the original Bay Bridge.
"I tell them I'm old, but I'm not that old," Blum, 72, a wiry, silver-haired retired shipfitter said, laughing. What he did photograph is the construction of the new Bay Bridge eastern span, now in a breathtaking collection called "The Bridge Builders," which opens to the public Thursday at the Metropolitan Transportation Commission offices in downtown Oakland.
Blum's 15-year project was obviously fueled by a deep respect for blue-collar laborers.
He captured pile drivers working well below sea level in the '90s, not far from the Alameda shipyard where he once labored. He braved catwalks 500 feet above the San Francisco Bay chasing ironworkers, many a third his age, as they erected the new span's signature tower.
The only audience that Blum wants to please is the group of people who built the bridge.
"If they like it, I don't care what anyone else thinks. It's all about them," he said.
His images echo the iconic bridge construction photographs of the famed 1930s Life magazine photographer Peter Stackpole, on display three short blocks away from the MTC at the Oakland Museum of California.
The work of Stackpole, who died in 1997, is "one of the most important groups of documentary photographs by one of the most important documentary photographers of the 20th century," said Drew Johnson, the museum's curator of photography and visual culture, who created the exhibit. The photos were nearly destroyed when the 1991 Oakland hills fire gutted Stackpole's archive.
The opportunity to view these two stunning shows -- made eight decades apart -- is short, as the "Peter Stackpole: Bridging the Bay" exhibit closes Sunday. Blum's show will hang through the end of May.
What: Community Art Program presents constructing the new east span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge: a solo exhibition of photographs by Joseph A. Blum
When: Exhibit ongoing through May 31, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays; reception Thursday, 4 p.m.-6:30 p.m.
Where: Joseph P. Bort MetroCenter, Third floor, 101 Eighth St., Oakland, at the Lake Merritt BART station

An area drug task force has raided several local marijuana operations, including a new business in Gold Hill that was featured in a May 20 story in the Mail Tribune.
According to a release from the Medford Area Drug and Gang Enforcement task force, police officers served eight state search warrants in Southern Oregon "to investigate three separate marijuana drug trafficking organizations."
The release said local, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies participated in the raids. The release also said that three organizations involved are alleged to have sold marijuana from store fronts located in Jackson County.
Among the sites raided was a Gold Hill business operated by Medford resident Mike Schanno, who described it in an earlier story as the region's first medical marijuana wellness center. Schanno also operates The Green Compass, a medical marijuana business off Medford's McAndrews Road.
Schanno said the Gold Hill site offers medical marijuana for patients with state-issued medical marijuana cards, along with classes on growing marijuana and services such as massages using cannabis-infused oils.
A press conference is planned for 3:30 p.m. today at the Medford Police Department, where additional information will be released.

China Weighs in on Japan's Election
Hours before the polls in Japan's general elections closed, Xinhua, China's state-run news agency, was already airing its dissatisfaction with the way things were going.
Xinhua's commentary, published Sunday under the name Huang Yinjiazi, warned about a trend of nationalism among Japan's politicians that could worsen ties with neighbors, threatening economic relationships and regional stability.
"It is a troubling sign that some of the political parties vying for the 480 seats of Japan's lower house of the parliament have pledged to take a tough stance on territorial disputes and boost military spending to woo rightist voters," the commentator wrote.
Ties between Asia's two largest economies have soured since the Japanese government announced in September it would buy from a private owner three disputed islands claimed by both countries, known as Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese. The announcement sparked widespread anti-Japanese riots in China. Since then, Chinese government ships have faced off with the Japanese Coast Guard almost daily in waters surrounding the islands.
The Xinhua commentary singled out Shinzo Abe, the leader of the front-running Liberal Democratic Party, and likely next prime minister. Mr. Abe has criticized the current Democratic Party of Japan-led government for being weak in responding to China's moves, and has vowed to take a harder line should he become prime minister.
Mr. Abe has also tweaked China and other countries around the region by paying respects to Japan's war dead at the controversial Yasukuni Shrine, where World War II soldiers -– including those accused of war crimes — are memorialized, though he has not yet said whether he would visit as prime minister.
"PM-hopeful Shinzo Abe have [sic] paid two visits to the notorious Yasukuni Shrine, which honored WWII war criminals," the commentary said. "These moves have raised suspicions among Japan's neighbors. They also pose a risk to regional peace and stability."
Aside from foreign relations, Xinhua's commentator even had some advice for what Japan's new leaders need to focus on at home.
"For Japan's new leadership, it is of more urgency for them to save the Japanese economy, which has been plagued by decades of deflation and in its fourth recession since 2000, than pick fights with its neighbors."

Drills buying guide
The drill is the most popular and versatile of all power tools and has become an essential in every DIY tool kit. Not only useful for drilling holes into a variety of materials, they can also be used to drive home screws (with the correct bit attached).
Consider whether you will be looking for a drill with a 'hammer' action - Not only can these drills rotate a drill bit, but they can also apply a 'hammering' action. Switch to hammer (or impact) mode, and the drill bit is vibrated and shunted forwards rapidly as it turns. This makes for quick work, especially through harder wall surfaces or materials. Fit a specialist chisel bit, and you can use your hammer drill for 'chasing' - making a channel in walls to hide wires and cables.
This guide will help you to choose the right drill for your needs - and explain the function of some of the most popular accessories.

Clerk pistol-whipped by would-be robber
Published: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 8:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 8:06 p.m.
Spartanburg County sheriff's deputies are investigating what they say was an attempted armed robbery at a convenience store during which a clerk was pistol whipped.
Lt. Tony Ivey said in a written statement that about 6 p.m., a man and woman entered the Fuel Stop at 2708 Cannons Campground Road. The man was armed with a handgun, and struggled with the clerk, pistol whipping the clerk during the altercation, Ivey said. The man fired a shot before leaving the store.
The clerk was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to deputies. The suspects did not take anything from the store, Ivey said.

Scuba Diving in South Maui: Ma'alaea Dive Sites and Charters
One of the island's newest wreck dives is a Helldiver WWII airplane which was abandoned by a pilot on a training run off Sugar Beach. When the pilot ejected, his plane sank in 50 feet of water, and for the better part of 60 years this plane sat forgotten in the mudflats off Ma'alaea. When a local fisher tipped off a Kihei dive instructor that there was probably something down there, the exploratory dive mission yielded a historical discovery which is now property of the U.S. military; divers aren't allowed to touch or enter the aircraft. While there isn't an overwhelming amount of marine life here, this is a unique dive you won't find in many people's logbooks. There aren't any regularly scheduled trips to the Helldiver, but many South Maui operators periodically plan excursions to the site, so inquire about when the next outing might be.
Rental Operators
The only retail operator in Ma'alaea that rents out dive gear is Maui Dive Shop (300 Ma'alaea Harbor Rd., 808/244-5514, 6am-6pm daily) in the Ma'alaea Harbor Shops. Although most dive operations will furnish their own gear, this is a good place to pick up equipment if you're diving at the Maui Ocean Center, are planning a dive off a nearby shoreline, or need some accessories such as a flashlight or a knife.
Dive Boats
Although most Molokini dive boats depart from the Kihei Boat Ramp, two that depart from Ma'alaea Harbor are the 48-foot Maka Koa which is operated by Maui Dive Shop (808/875-1775) as well as the 40-foot Maui Diamond II (Slip 23, 808/879-9119). Maui Dive Shop offers two-tank trips to Molokini Crater three times per week, and the second dive is either along the shoreline of Maui or at the St. Anthony wreck off Kihei. Rates for a two-tank dive are $139, and BC and regulator rental is an additional $20. Snorkelers are allowed to accompany divers for a reduced rate of only $80, and this is a good option for the novice to intermediate diver who wants to explore in the 65-70 feet range. In addition to providing a good trip, an added perk of booking with Maui Dive Shop is that they provide complimentary transportation from your hotel to Ma'alaea Harbor. If you're driving yourself to the harbor, check-in is at 6:30am at the store in the Ma'alaea Harbor Shops.
For a few dollars less, Maui Diamond II offers 2-tank trips to Molokini and the South Maui shoreline for $129, and BC and regulator rental is an additional $15. If you aren't a certified diver, you have the option of partaking in a Discover Scuba Diving introductory class in which you will snorkel at Molokini and then dive with an instructor at the second spot along the shoreline. The rate for the snorkel and introductory dive combo is $145, although the price is inclusive of all your equipment. This boat is a little older and a little slower, but they feed you well, so the added transport time can be devoted to digestion.

Bama interviews Shelton State's Thompson
Published: Friday, May 10, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 2:49 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Shelton State Community College coach Madonna Thompson and Texas Tech coach Kristy Curry have interviewed for the vacant head women's basketball coaching position at the University of Alabama, The Tuscaloosa News has learned.
Thompson, 39, was a player on Alabama's 1994 Final Four team and participated in four NCAA Tournament appearances at UA. She has been head coach at Shelton State for 15 years, winning nine Alabama Community College Conference championships — including seven in the last eight years and two in a row.
Shelton State finished the regular season undefeated in 2012-13 and ended with a 33-1 record and made it to the quarterfinal round of the National Junior College Athletic Association tournament.
Curry has been head coach at Texas Tech for the last seven years, leading the Lady Raiders to three straight 20-win seasons and NCAA Tournament bids in 2010-11 and last season. She has compiled a 130-98 record at the school. In her previous head coaching stop, Curry led Purdue to seven straight NCAA Tournament appearances and a 179-51 record that included a trip to the national championship game in 2001.
Curry signed a five-year, $3.675 million contract in April of 2011, according to a report by the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. The deal runs through the 2015-16 season and guarantees Curry $750,000 in the 2013-14 season.
Wendell Hudson was reassigned last month to an administrative position in the UA athletic department after five years as head coach.
Alabama went 68-87 under Hudson, including a 14-64 record in Southeastern Conference play.

Police say a dispute at a club in the East End led to a man being cut overnight by an unknown object.
Rochester Police were called to Magic City on Lawrence Street, around 2 a.m., and found a 36-year-old Webster man who had been cut in his upper body and limbs. He was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital with what police believe are non-life threatening injuries.
Officers say the man was involved in a dispute at the club that escalated.
Last month, two men were shot in the parking lot across from Magic City after leaving the club.

Watonwan County Human Services will be moving from their current building into Marian Hall beginning in about three weeks. Watonwan County is hopeful they can have the job completed by the end of President's Day weekend. They have been given permission to use the building for $3,000 per month while renovations are taking place.
A special session was held Tuesday, Jan. 29 to accept bids for the moving process.
In the process of moving, the Human Services department chose a phone provider. They received bids from Christiansen Communication and Century Link. Christiansen Communication's bid was cheaper by about $2,000 at $25,488. The Watonwan County Board decided unanimously to accept Christiansen Communication's bid.
In the past, the Human Services Building has been serviced by Century Link, but the County has been considering a move to a different provider for the past two years. With the change, the Human Services department will no longer be charged the long distance rate for phone calls to Madelia.
The Watonwan County Board also decided to accept a bid for 35 cubicles at $600 a piece. After shipping and tax the total for the cubicles will be about $24,194. Chris Glass, the producer of the cubicles is willing to purchase the cubicles back at $250 a piece. In total the cubicles will cost $15,444 with about 20 percent federal reimbursing.
The cubicles are simple box cubicles that will be put up temporarily in Marian Hall.
Movers will cost the County $240 per hour, that was the decision of the county commissioners. This is based on the assumption that they will need six people to move. The have accepted the bid by Fitzgerald Movers at $240 per hour.
"Fitzgerald moved our original and they did outstanding," said Director Rich Collins.
All of the paperwork in the Human Resources Building will fit into 300 boxes, which still need to be purchased. The board decided the decision could be made by the Human Services Department to accept the bid which will most efficiently make use of taxpayer dollars.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – Sixth-ranked Lee University used a 19-0 run in the first half to knock off the University of Pikeville 79-54 Tuesday night at the UPIKE Gym.
Lee (10-1) fell behind 11-10 with 10:28 to play when junior Callisha Johnson hit a jump shot. But the Bears wouldn't score for the next 9:01 while the Flames lit the lamp for their 19-point run. Six players scored for Lee during the stretch, led by junior guard Hollie German's six.
By the time Pikeville scored again, on a layup by senior Sally Roberts with 1:57 to play, the lead had grown to 29-11.
The Flames never looked back.
German led all scorers with 20 for the Flames, who hit 43.8 percent overall and was 16-of-20 from the line. She was joined in double digits by sophomore Jenna Adams, who had a double-double of 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Thanks to Adams' efforts, Lee controlled the glass 52-22.
Pikeville had one player in double figures, as sophomore Natalie Tunnell came off the bench to go 5-of-8 from the arc for 15. Sophomore Christin Haney had nine to go with four assists.
The Bears hit 54.2 percent in the second half and was 7-of-11 from the arc for 63.6 percent.
Pikeville (5-7) will now begin its Christmas break and will return to the court on Saturday, Jan. 5 when it visits Bluefield College. The next home game is set for Thursday, Jan. 10 when No. 16 Cumberlands comes to the East Kentucky Expo Center for a 6 p.m. tipoff.

Long Grove has some new (to me) holes since the first two arrangements out there. It now plays a little shorter. Original holes 3, 4, 5, and 9 no longer exist. There are also infield-dirt tee pads now.
I saw some flyers posted at the park about Leagues out there to raise money for a Park View course. Anybody know when Leagues are?

Hi everyone. We had a great weekend in Texarkana with our good friends. We went out to lunch Saturday, and Mike and Lynne had picked a Mexican restaurant. That probably would have been the last place I picked, but we were their guests so we kept our mouths shut. I love Mexican food, but it's certainly not the healthiest place to eat. I ordered fajitas, but I did eat some chips and salsa and a little quacamole. That night, Lynne roasted a chicken and made mashed potatoes and gravy and purple hull peas. I did make a big salad for everyone, and I didn't take one bite of anything until I finished my salad. Sunday morning, she made homemade biscuits and gravy, fried ham, and scrambled eggs. And Lynne is who got me involved in WW! Both Saturday night and Sunday morning, I hate tiny portions, but adding up what I ate on Friday and Saturday, I used 33 of my 49 extra points. I really don't understand why she cooked this way because she usually doesn't. We were home by noon yesterday, and I did not go over my 26 points. I plan to be very careful the rest of this week. I do not want a weekend to sabotage my hard work.
The WW Store was great, and I bought a red beans and rice mix, a Tuscan soup mix, and was given a box of "Celebration Cake" bars by the Leader there. They're 2 points each, and taste exactly like white cake with white icing. I wouldn't have bought them myself, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like them. We then went to the Amish store, and it was nothing but amazing. The furniture was incredible, and the food choices! Wow. My DH bought peanut butter (with peanuts being the only ingredient) and homemad butter (for him, not me), and I bought peach/jalepeno jam, several spices, and a huge bag of dehydrated okra. It was a place I could have stayed in all day, and kind of dangerous as I wanted almost everything they were selling.
It's cold again here, very cold, and I'm aching. I'm getting my knees x-rayed this afternoon, and then finding out when I go to Hot Srpings for the MRI. I hope everyone has a good week.

How to Cast On with the Two-Strand Method
5 of 11 in Series: The Essentials of Knitting a Gauge Swatch
When you cast on with the two-strand method in knitting, you need only the RH needle. The two-strand cast-on method (or long-tail method) is a great all-around cast-on for your knitting repertoire. This cast-on method is elastic, attractive, and easy to knit from.
Measure off enough yarn for the bottom part of your piece and make a slip knot on your needle.
To make the slip knot (the first stitch), make a pretzel-shaped loop and place your needle into the loop (a.) and pull gently on both ends of the yarn until the stitch is firmly on the needle (b.) but still slides easily back and forth.
To figure how long the tail should be, you need approximately 1 inch for every stitch you cast on, plus a little extra. Alternatively, you can measure the bottom of the knitted piece and multiply this number by 4.
Holding the needle in your right hand with the tip pointing away from your hand, insert your left thumb and index finger into the tent formed by the two yarn ends falling from the slip knot on your needle.
This position might seem a bit awkward, but it'll be second nature when you become a knitting know-it-all!
With your left hand's ring and pinkie fingers, catch the yarn ends and hold them to your palm.
This step prevents the ends from flapping around as you work.
With your right hand, pull the needle between your left thumb and index finger.
You don't want the tent sides to be droopy.
With the needle tip, go around the yarn on your thumb from the left, as shown in (a), then go around the yarn on your index finger from the right (b), and pull the new loop through (c).
This looks complicated, but you'll get the hang of it.
Tighten this new loop (your first cast-on stitch!) onto the needle — but not too tight.
If you don't let go of the yarn after creating the stitch, you can use your thumb to tighten the stitch onto your needle.
Although this is your first cast-on stitch, it's technically the second stitch on the RH needle; the initial slip knot counts as the first real stitch.
Repeat Steps 5 and 6 until you have the number of stitches you need.
If you need to put your work down, or if you lose your place, you may have to pull the stitches off the needle and start from Step 2 again.

Poll Watchers Hover in Mississippi Runoff
Mississippians are voting Tuesday under the watchful eyes of people on both sides who say they are worried about voting irregularities in the GOP runoff between Sen. Thad Cochran, the six term incumbent, and his tea-party-backed challenger, State Sen. Chris McDaniel.
Tea party groups have sent activists to monitor polling places around the state because they are suspicious of Mr. Cochran's efforts to woo Democratic voters. The state's NAACP is monitoring the polls as well, to make sure that African-American voters are not subjected to intimidation if they try to vote in the primary.

The Mississippi attorney general's office issued a statement Tuesday reminding the public that, while candidates are allowed to authorize a single poll watcher, no one else may be within 30 feet of a polling place unless they are a voter or an election official.
"There is no authority in state law for a PAC or other outside group to place 'election observers' in Mississippi polling placement," the statement said.
Mr. McDaniel outpolled Sen. Cochran by about 1,400 votes in the June 3 primary, but was forced into a runoff because he did not get more than 50% of the vote. Under Mississippi law, any voter from either party can cast ballots in the runoff — except the 84,000 people who voted in the Democratic primary June 3.
There is another seemingly unenforceable provision of state law that forbids people from voting in a GOP runoff if they intend to vote for a Democrat in the November general election. But the statement from the attorney general's office specified that a voter may be challenged based on party loyalty only if the voter "openly declares" he does not intend to support the nominee of the party holding the primary.
McDaniel supporters say they are concerned because Mr. Cochran has been openly courting Democratic voters, including the state's large African-American population.
FreedomWorks, a tea-party allied group that has been backing Mr. McDaniel, has teamed with other conservative groups to coordinate volunteers to "observe the polls and report any illegal activity," said Jackie Bodnar, a spokeswoman for the group.
"This effort is not about preventing people from voting," she said, "it's about preventing progressive Democrats from illegally voting twice with the intent of sabotaging the Republican runoff."
Wayne McDaniels, president of the Jackson branch of the NAACP, said the group had sent poll monitors out of concern that "some of the campaign workers are targeting minority voters" and possibly trying to discourage them from voting.

Irving v. Lipstadt
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Skeleton Argument of the Claimant (long): Electronic Edition, by Adrian DaviesTable of Contents
|<< Section 5 of the Defamati...
|< Skeleton
|Hitler's personal knowled... >
|Racism and Anti-Semitism >>
The Allegation that Irving is an "Extremist"
35.It is submitted that, as a matter of law, it is not sufficient to plead by way of particulars of justification that someone is an "extremist," let alone to introduce this point in the course of argument without pleading it sufficiently or at all.
36.Greer LJ said in Talley v. Fry [1930] 1 KB 467 at 479:--
"Words are not defamatory, however much they may damage a man in the eyes of a section of the community, unless they also amount to disparagement of his reputation in the eyes of right-thinking men generally. To write or say of a man something that will disparage him in the eyes of a particular section of the community but will not affect his reputation in the eyes of the average right-thinking man is not actionable within the law of defamation."
37.A statement is not defamatory simply because it is untrue, so to suggest that someone takes a particular political position is not defamatory per se, even if it is completely untrue. See per Street J. in Slatyer v. Daily Telegraph [1907} 7 NSWSR 488 at 498, a New South Wales case, which is generally accepted as good law in England, and is cited with evident approval at note 90 to para. 2.19 of Gatley.
38.That, it is submitted, is the case, however "extreme" the position in question may be. True it is that there are cases (they are to be found at note 88 to para. 2.19 of Gatley) in which it has been held that it is defamatory to say of a man that he is a Communist, but they are best explained on the basis that the libels complained of carried the implication that the plaintiff was a traitor in the pay of a foreign power, or that he advocated overthrowing the state by violence.
39.Thus Devlin LJ said in Kantorowicz v Cookridge, The Times, 10 October 1960, at the height of the Cold War, and at a time when the full extent of Stalin's crimes was already well known, that it would not in all circumstances be defamatory of a man to say that he was a Communist.
40.An extremist is merely a man whose ideas depart radically from the prevailing climate of opinion at a particular time. Anyone who suggested that the suffrage should be extended to the working classes would have been considered an extremist in the climate of opinion which held sway in 1800; anyone who suggested that the suffrage should be extended to women would have been considered an extremist in the climate of opinion which held sway in 1900. These were never morally reprehensible positions. Thus to prove that Irving associates with noníviolent "extremists" ought to avail the Defendants nothing.
41.The crucial distinction in this case, it is submitted, is between libels SA and 8B at paras. 44 and 45 below.
42.The principal issues on appeal in relation to justification, numbered by reference to the importance which Irving attributes to them, and not chronologically, are Irving's treatment of (1) Hitler's personal knowledge of the scale and scope of Nazi atrocities against the Jews during the Second Word War ("WWII") generally, (2) Auschwitz in particular, and (3) the events of Kristallnacht. Irving's case is that (1) and (2) are crucial, while (3) is important.
43.The Defendants additionally sought (successfully) to justify by reference to Irving's treatment of (4) Hitler's 1924 trial following the unsuccessful Beer Hall putsch and (5) the crime statistics for Berlin in 1932. Irving contends that (4) and (5) are of secondary importance.
44.The Defendants further succeeded on their plea of justification by reference to (6) Irving's account of the bombing of Dresden in February, 1945, (7) Irving's anti-Semitism and racism, and (8A) the claim that Irving associates with right wing extremists.
45.The Defendants did not attempt to justify Lipstadt's allegation (8B) that Irving associates with violent extremists, and failed to justify Lipstadt's allegations that Irving (9) works in his office under a portrait of Hitler, (10) had damaged the historic glass microfiches of the Goebbels diaries in the Moscow archives, and (11) had broken an agreement with the director of the Moscow archives.
46.As to (7) and (8A): on the Defendants' case as pleaded, (7) is prejudicial and irrelevant, or goes at most to Irving's motive for treating (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) as he allegedly did, and could not of itself justify the pleaded libels, while (8A) is irrelevant, and could not under section 5 or otherwise justify the pleaded libels.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Statement of Mark David Bateman: Electronic Edition, by Mark David BatemanTable of Contents

|The contents of the Rudol... >
|The Witness statement of ... >>
Availability of the Evidence: Rudolf
9.Before looking at the Rudolf witness statement in detail it is important to note that the Claimant's counsel, Adrian Davies stated at paragraph 6 of his Skeleton Argument in support of the application to adduce new evidence (1st March 2001) that the Rudolf witness statement is "founded upon the same author's earlier analysis of the improbability or outright impossibility of the established historiography of Auschwitz". Rudolf's "earlier analysis" was published as the "Rudolf Gutachten" ('Rudiger Kammerer, Armin Solms (ed.), Das Gutachten, Gutachten uber die Bildung Und Nachweisbarkeit von Cyanideverbindungen in den 'Gaskammern' von Auschwitz') in 1992 (in German). It is clear that the Claimant was aware of Rudolf and his report from an early stage (see MDB1). An English version of the full Rudolf Report was available from 1993. Further, the Claimant made a 'complete illustrated copy' of the Rudolf Gutachten available through his own website (ww-wipp.co.uk) in July 1999. (I note that according to Rudolf, his Report was 'freely accessible on the Internet since end of 1997': see MDB 3 tab 2 page 1 6). However, the Claimant never applied to adduce that report in evidence at trial He could easily have done so. There is no explanation of his failure to do so.
10.I note that at paragraph 8 of the Claimant's counsel's skeleton argument of 1st March 2001 he suggests that the Claimant handed up a copy of Rudolf's report to Gray J and that (paragraph 9) "to that extent the Rudolf Report was probably in evidence anyway" the Claimant, at paragraph 1 of his witness statement of 28th February 2001, says that he 'put in evidence before the court the published version of a scientific rrport which he had written'. It is hard to see how a Claimant can apply to adduce as fresh evidence a report which, on his own case, was handed to the trial judge in the course of the trial. However, what was handed up to the judge was not the full Report (which is over 100 pages long), but a 16-page document "A Scientific Sensation: The Rudolf Report: A discussion of the Rudolf Report on the Formation and Demonstrability of Cyanide Compounds in the Gas Chambers at Auschwitz, with additional research findings on the Holocaust", published by Cromwell Press in 1993 a copy of which is at MDB 1 tab 3 (the second page of which refers to the availability through the same publisher of the 120-page full Report in German. The Claimant is a fluent German speaker). The Defendants made no objection to that document being put before the judge but did make clear that this document was not The Rudolf Report (see trial transcript Day 9 pages 24 and 23).
11.It is clear that the Claimant could have applied to put in evidence the full Rudolf Report, had he wished to do so. Moreover, it appears that he could have brought Rudolf as a witness to the court, had he asked. The Claimant says nothing in his witness statement about any request to Rudolf to give evidence, stating only the Claimant's own conclusion that it would have been 'impractical' to call him at trial, in view of the 'personal risks' to which he would have been exposed if brought to London. It appears, however, that Rudolf would have been willing to appear as an expert witness. Rudolf has written about the Claimant's request (to which he acceded) that he give evidence at trial; that first request, made in 1996, was not followed up by the Claimant. In 1999, Rudolf supplied assistance to the Claimant, which the Claimant received before cross-examining Professor van Pelt. Then in January 2000, it appears that the Claimant asked Rudolf to attend the trial, to give technical assistance as an adviser, but did not ask him to appear as witness. Rudolf confirms that he would have been willing to appear as a witness, had he been asked to do so (see MDB 1). In his. witness statement, Rudolf says this (page 333) (emphasis added):
'When David Irving asked me in January. 2000 to assist him during his trial as an expert sitting at his side, to help him answer scientific and technical questions, I declined. I knew that I was a hunted man in England, so the risk for me if I appeared was high. I would have risked appearing in answer to a subpoena, as I believed (whether rightly or wrongly, as a matter of law) that if I appeared in answer to a subpoena, I would have had some rights at least as long as I was in the witness stand. Appearing as a witness, instead as a private adviser on Irving's side, also would have had the advantage that I could have presented my findings for the first time in front of a court of law and a wider public, which alone is worth risking my freedom."
12.It appears that what is said in Adrian Davies' skeleton argument (paragraph 7), namely that the Claimant "did not seek a direction for leave to adduce Rudolf's expert evidence, because he knew that Rudolf would be unwilling to attend the trial for the reasons that appear by paras. [ ] to [ ] of Rudolf's affidavit" is incorrect, if it is intended to suggest that Rudolf was unwilling to attend trial as a witness (whatever the position may be so far as attendance as an adviser is concerned). The skeleton argument, apparently prepared without sight of the final version of the Rudolf witness statement, has not been amended. Significantly, the Claimant does not state that he asked Rudolf to attend trial or that Rudolf was unwilling to attend trial (rather, that the Claimant "considered" it impractical to bring him to London). The Claimant suggests that Rudolf is now willing to attend the hearing, without explaining what has changed (other than that the Claimant lost at trial). The Claimant had other witnesses attend in answer to subpoena.
13. The three documents in MDB3 are of particular interest. They are:
- (1) A 'Critique of Chemical Claims Made by Robert Jan Van Pelt' (the 'van Pelt Critique') (see MDB 3 tab 3), dated 11th February 2000 (Germar Rudolf, Hastings, last revised: February 11, 2000', see pace 18). This document is now available on the 'Radio Islam' website ('http://abbc.com') at 'http://abbc.co/aaargh/engl/technical/GronVPa.html'.
- (2)A 'Critique of Claims Made by Robert Jan Van Pelt' (the 'van Pelt Critique 2') (see MDB 3 tab 2), dated April 10 (Germar Rudolf, Hastings, last revised: April 10, 2000', see page 30). This is posted on the 'Vho' website (http://www.vho.org/GB/c/GR/RudolfOnVanPelt.html). The date cannot be entirely accurate, as this document refers to the Judgment on 11' April 2000
- (3)A 'Critique of the "Findings on justification" by Judge Gray' (the 'Gray Critique') (see MDB 3 tab 1). The Gray Critique is an 18-page document that purports to deal with many of the issues dealt with by the Rudolf Witness statement and which uses similar headings and layout. In this, it appears to be an earlier draft of Rudolf's current witness statement. The Gray Critique is dated 20th April 2000 (nine days after Judgment, see page 16) and is also posted on the 'Vho' website (http://vho.org/GB/c/GR/CritiqueGray.html). The Gray Critique refers the reader to the Critique of van Pelt and carries 'hyperlinks' to take you to it (see for example page 6 of the Gray Critique 'I hate repeating myself about this topic, so I refer to what I said in my critique of van Pelt's claims.).
14. The significance of the three documents at "MDB 3" is this:
- (1) It is clear that the van Pelt Critique was available for trial. The date shown for the last revision is 11th February 2000, a month or so before the end of the trial. However, the Critique would have come into existence before that date. The Claimant received van Pelt's expert report at the end of July 1999 and solicited help in responding to it immediately. The fact that the Critique refers to 'Hastings' suggests that that is where Rudolf worked (or, at least, began his work) on the Critique: he was, as he stated in his witness statement, in Hastings until sometime between October 1999 and November 1999 (see page 331). It seems likely that Rudolf had received a copy of van Pelt's report from the Claimant (the Claimant says nothing as to whether this is or is not the case) and commenced work on a detailed critique of it before the trial began. An earlier version of this Critique is likely to have been available to Irving: Rudolf states that he was able to get his comments to the Claimant "shortly before the cross examination of the most important witness, Professor van Pelt." (see article by Rudolf 'Jagd auf Germar Rudolf' "MDB 4" tab 1 page 18 and translation on the following page). That cross-examination began on January 25th 2000. (The Critique was unlikely to have been posted on any Internet website until after the end of that cross-examination on 28th January 2000). Material that was put into a Critique during the trial could have been put forward in the form of a report or witness statetnent. Further, it is highly likely that material which was put into the Gray Critique/van Pelt critique 2 within days of the judgment must all have been available for trial.
- (2)Although much of the text in the Rudolf witness statement has been lifted word for word from the van Pelt Critique or van Pelt Critique 2, the footnoted sources given for the same text are often changed. In some instances, where it would have been clear from the van Pelt Critique that the source material, was available before trial, the source is altered.
- (3) It is clear from the Gray Critique that the Claimant asked Rudolf to prepare evidence for use at an appeal no later than 20th April 2000 (see page 1). The Claimant did not inform the First Defendant or the court of any intention to introduce new evidence until 17th January 2001. Even then, despite repeated requests (see correspondence at MDB 2) we were not informed of the nature of this evidence until it was provided to us on March 2001.
15. The Claimant has given no assistance in providing Rudolf's sources for the material in his witness statement. At MDB 2, the correspondence between the solicitors on this matter is set out. On 7th, 9th and 20th March 2001 this firm asked for copies of all of the source material to which Rudolf referred in preparing his witness statement. None of this has been provided, on the grounds that it is said that Rudolf does not have that material (see Nigel Adams & CO's letter dated 21st March 2001). We were asked to limit our request to those documents that were essential. In response we asked, on 23rd March, for a list of what Rudolf did have. On 28th March we were told 'we have sent Mr Rudolf a further e-mail informing him of your request for a list of those documents that he does have and made clear the urgency. We repeated our request on 3rd April and were told on the 5th that '...we axe still waiting to hear from Mr Rudolf with details of the documents he has in his possession...'. We repeated our request on the 5th April and were told on the 11th April that 'all or most' of the documents required were in Germany and that Rudolf is 'severely hampered in complying with your request as a result of the persecution he has suffered and having to flee his own country.' We were again asked to notify those documents we considered essential. On 17th April we asked for a timetable within which Rudolf could provide a list of documents in his possession, the date of publication of each document refereed to in Rudolf's Affidavit and confirmation of when Rudolf first wrote his witness statement. We also asked for one document, the 1993 Rudolf Report. We have received no substantive reply to any of these points, nor the 1993 Rudolf Report despite repeated requests. As is made clear below and in James Libson's witness statement, there is nothing new (post-trial) in Rudolf's source material, such that his witness statement could not have been available for use at the trial. On the contrary, it could have been used by the Claimant, had he decided to do so.
16. Penguin submits that it is clear from paragraphs 5 to 13 above that the Claimant cannot satisfy the first requirement of the Ladd v Marshall test in respect of the Rudolf witness statement. The court should refuse to admit that evidence on this ground alone.
17. In the paragraphs below, I set out further detail as to the availability of the evidence contained in the Rudolf witness statement before and at trial.
