There were numerous world-class boxers in action, internationally, last week, which resulted in movement in THE RING's divisional ratings. The most notable change belonged to Tavoris Cloud, who drops in the light heavyweight rankings following his unanimous decision loss to 48-year-old Bernard Hopkins.
At heavyweight, formerly RING-ranked contender Alexander Dimitrenko was dropped in the fourth round en route to winning an eight-round decision over journeyman Ivica Perkovic. Raw, undefeated KO artist Magomed Abdusalamov (17-0, 17 knockouts) beat Victor Bisbal in the fifth round by TKO. Neither heavyweight merits a ranking.
At light heavyweight, Hopkins fought a very good, strategic fight in outpointing previously unbeaten Cloud for the IBF title. Hopkins proved that his conditioning and execution were more important than chronological age. Hopkins retains his No. 1 ranking in THE RING's ratings; Cloud is dropped from No. 2 to No. 5 moving up Nathan Cleverly, Beibut Shumenov and Sergei Kovalev one spot each with Nos. 6 through 10 remaining the same.
At super middleweight, THE RING's No. 7-rated George Groves stopped journeyman Dario German Balmaceda with a TKO in the third round. No movement in the rankings.
At middleweight, unrated-but-just-outside-the-top 10 Darren Barker beat Simone Rotolo in the fourth. No changes in the rankings.
At junior middleweight, undefeated prospect Hugo Centeno had a solid unanimous decision win over KeAndrae Leatherwood. No change in rankings.
At welterweight, undefeated prospect Keith Thurman won a unanimous shutout decision over No. 7-rated Jan Zaveck, causing the former beltholder to be dropped from the rankings. Every welterweight who was rated under Zaveck – Tim Bradley, Victor Ortiz and Devon Alexander – moves up one space and Thurman is installed at No. 10 in the ratings.
At junior welterweight, prospect Emmanuel Taylor overcame Victor Cayo by TKO in the eighth round although Taylor was dropped to the canvas in the fifth. Cayo suffered a knockdown in the eighth round. No changes in the rankings.
At lightweight, Colombian veteran Darley Perez won a unanimous decision over Julio Camano. No changes in the rankings.
At junior lightweight, Argenis Mendez twice dropped and knocked out IBF titleholder Juan Carlos Salgado in the fourth round of their rematch, causing the following movement: Salgado is dropped to No. 7 and Mendez is lifted to No. 3 with Yuriorkis Gamboa moving up to No. 2.
At junior featherweight, No. 6-rated Tomoki Kameda stopped Nouldy Manakane in six. No changes in the rankings.
At bantamweight, Stephane Jamoye looked solid retaining his European title by stopping Ashley Sexton in eight rounds. The battle-tested 23 year old from Belgium is closing in to a top-10 spot if he continues his winning ways. Undefeated prospect Alejandro Gonzalez Jr. scored a stay busy stoppage against overmatched Alexander Acosta in four. No changes in the rankings.
At flyweight, No. 8-rated Edgar Sosa scored a one-punch second-round KO over fellow former 108-pound titleholder Ulises Solis. Sosa is moved up a notch in the rankings to No. 7.
At junior flyweight, Solis, who was THE RING's No. 4-rated contender, drops from the rankings. Streaking 23-year-old Panamanian Luis Alberto Rios (18-1-1, 13 KOs) enters the ratings at No. 10. Rios, who has won his last three fights by KO versus solid opposition, will challenge No. 8-rated Johnriel Casimero for the Filipino's IBF title on Saturday in Panama.
At strawweight, unbeaten Filipino veteran Merlito Sabillo travelled to Colombia and stopped once-beaten local Luis De La Rosa in eight. No. 2-rated Raul Garcia is dropped from the rankings since he hasn't fought officially at 105 pounds since August 2011. Sabillo (21-0, 11 KOs) enters the rankings at No. 10 with everyone who rated under Garcia moving up one spot.

HAMPTON — A bicyclist was hospitalized Sunday due to non-life-threatening injuries after colliding with a car at Hampton Beach during the Cycle the Seacoast event.
Hampton Fire Capt. John Stevens said the 54-year-old male bicyclist was in the area of 369 Ocean Blvd. around 11:26 a.m. Sunday when a car door opened in front of him. The bicyclist collided with the car door, which knocked the man off his bike, said Stevens.
The man complained of back and shoulder pain, and he was transported to Exeter Hospital. No one in the vehicle was injured.
Stevens said no other injuries were reported in Hampton during the event, which is an annual 25-, 50- and 100-mile ride to benefit the New Hampshire chapter of the American Lung Association.
An American Lung Association official said the organization checked its records and believes the injured biker was not a registered participant in the Cycle the Seacoast event. Michael Seliback, vice president of public policy and communications for the American Lung Association in the Northeast, said the organization tracks all riders to the finish of the event.
Hampton officials have closely monitored races and cycling events in town since two women were killed in September during a non-competitive biking event.
Numerous large, electronic signs were posted around the Cycle the Seacoast route Sunday to alert drivers and ask them to share the roadway with the participants.

Nissan Looks Into Leaf Electric Car Problem
Nissan Motor Co. said there have been a few reports of Leaf electric cars failing to restart after they have been turned off because of an air-conditioning sensor problem.
"If this sensor is activated it will illuminate a warning light on the instrument panel and may cause the vehicle to not restart once it has been turned off. We are actively investigating to determine the root cause and what action is necessary to address the issue," the company said in a statement.
Nissan isn't planning a recall because the problem isn't a safety issue. The company says the cars won't not stop running while being driven. Nissan says it is trying to "promptly address this issue."

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Here is the latest in our year-long look at one cool comic (whether it be a self-contained work, an ongoing comic or a run on a long-running title that featured multiple creative teams on it over the years) a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Let's take a look at the #2 story on the Greatest Thing Stories Ever Told list, Tom DeFalco and Ron Wilson's Marvel Two-In-One Annual #7!
The set-up for the issue is a strange one, to be sure…
Finally, the collected heroes meet the Champion…
The heroes obviously try to find other ways of stopping the Champion, but nothing seems to work – the day of the event ticks down and the hype around it increases…
One by one, the heroes are eliminated (the really big guns are eliminated for reasons other than their not being able to defeat the Champion, like Thor being disqualified because he needs his hammer, Namor because he refused to cooperate and the Hulk because he goes berserk and won't follow the rules)…and only one hero remains…
And here's his intro – pretty cool, huh?
Then the fight begins – I don't want to show too much of the fight (only the first and second pages are in sequential order – there are pages missing so as to not ruin too much of it)…
That's enough – you should check out the comic (you can find it most back issue places for not too much money) to see the cool ending! DeFalco and Wilson do a marvelous job making the Thing come off as really, really cool.
Nice choice. Ben Grimm refuses to give up and also refuses to break the rules. This is my all-time favourite Thing battle.
Very happy to see this. Since I first read it, I learned that it was actually pretty famous and well-regarded, and that an episode of Dexter's Labratory's Dial M For Monkey was actually based on it (pretty strange). But I bought it for about a quarter as part of some big back-issue sale without ever hearing of it beforehand. You can't really go wrong with cheap Marvel Two-In-Ones, and this one turns out to be a kind of classic. Man, Ben Grimm is a great character. What superhero fan doesn't rank him in their top ten favorite heroes?
No, sorry. This is a terrible, terrible comic, like all of DeFalco's Two-In-One run.
He wouldn't become tolerable until the Machine Man mini.

The 28-year-old was the champion-elect heading to the Russian Olympic venue having won seven of the eight races so far this season including the last five in a row.
That gave him a 223-point lead at the top of the overall World Cup standings with only 225 on offer in Sochi.
Despite a remarkable fightback over the last run in St Moritz, Dukurs lost at the World Championships for the first time in three years with Alexander Tretiakov victorious.
But Dukurs exacted revenge on the Russian on his own ice in Sochi to win by 0.17 seconds from him - while Germany's Frank Rommel occupying third place at the test event.
Dukurs's win was the 25th of his World Cup career and also sees him claim the inaugural Triple Trophy and €100,000 prize for winning the last three races of the season.
And, having had to settle for silver at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics behind home hope Jon Montgomery, Dukurs will surely head back to Sochi next year as the man to beat.
He held a 0.17 lead over Tretiakov after posting 56.90 on his first run with older brother Tomass Dukurs 0.43 further back in third with a 0.10 cushion over fourth-placed American John Daly.
Martins Dukurs and Tretiakov clocked the same time on run two, 57.22, to hand the Latvian victory in Sochi and in the overall World Cup, the latter for the fourth successive time.
They stormed clear of the rest of the field with the gap between Tretiakov, who was last the man to win the World Cup title before Martins Dukurs in 2009, and third place 1.23.
Rommel jumped from fifth to third place after posting 57.87 second time out with Daly remaining in fourth and Tomass Dukurs slipping to fifth place overall.
Meanwhile's Britain's three sliders all finished in a line with Ed Smith this time the pick of the bunch in 14th before Kristan Bromley in 15th and Dominic Parsons in 16th.
Smith was the lowest of the three at the World Championships - 15th to Parsons' ninth and Bromley's 10th - but he turned the tide at the final World Cup round

That's how Pastor Marilyn Parmelee described holding a $70,000 dollar check.
She cashed a winning lottery ticket Thursday, one day after one of her 25 parishioners at Covenant Life Worship Center put it in the collection basket.
"People just don't do that," said Parmelee. "I'm not sure if I would've done that. God would have to talk to me pretty loud."
The woman, who wants to remain anonymous, discovered the winning ticket when she found it in her purse. The Lucky 7's Raffle game held a drawing May 4 and turns out, the woman's ticket was a winner. She told wilx.com why she gave all of it to her church and it started with the help she received after a car accident four years ago that left her with a closed head injury.
"I don't know where I'd be if it wasn't for all of them," she said. "I might not have made it."
Both she and Parmelee call her gift to the church a "reap what you sow" kind of thing, since the woman is moving to Florida to join the ministry herself. Giving to another ministry means hers will receive a healthy gift.
"I believe when you give things will be given back to you," said the woman with her 19-year old daughter by her side. "God watched over me for the last four years. I won't say it's been easy, but He's really taken care of me."
Parmelee says the church is considering paying for a mission in Africa with the money, which is tax-free since it's a non-profit organization.

Families of Children with Special Needs
Research very clearly states that early intervention for children with developmental disabilities is a must. When children receive intervention early on, the likelihood of negative behaviors decreases, because appropriate behaviors are taught from the beginning.
Although the premise of early intervention is logical, very little consideration has been given to the concept of early intervention for parental coping skills. When a parent is given the tools to both teach their child and take care of themselves, they maximize their child's outcome, while maintaining the cohesiveness within their family.

Global Spa & Wellness Summit Announces Focus of Global Spa and Wellness Research
The Global Spa & Wellness Summit (GSWS) recently announced that its centerpiece research initiative will focus on three global industry sectors. The report will be released at GSWS's 2014 conference, to be held in Morocco.
SRI International, one of GSWS's longtime research partners, will conduct the "Global Spa and Wellness Economy" research, focusing specifically on the wellness industry as a whole, the spa industry, and the wellness tourism market. In addition, global and regional spa industry statistics - such as information on spa revenue, employment figures, economic impact, key spa industry genres, and the first-ever research on new sub-segments such as the global hot springs market - will be included in the study.
Says Susie Ellis, chair and CEO of GSWS, "So many private and public industry stakeholders have told me how invaluable the GSWS-SRI data on the spa, wellness, and wellness tourism markets has been in shaping their development strategies and in raising their profile with both investors and consumers."

I was given a refund code by phone on April 12, 2011 and returned the holsters to The Holster Store first class mail with insurance, tracking and delivery confirmation. On April 18, 2011, The day the holsters were delivered, I received an email notifying me that the holsters I received were the ones I ordered since The Holster Store does not carry the holsters I claimed I ordered. I sent links to the pages where I ordered the holsters they claimed they didn't carry and The Holster Store responded in an email admitting they had made a mistake but said they would only exchange my items for something else. That wasn't acceptable to me because they didn't have the holsters I ordered and I had already bought one from a local retailer April 13, 2011 the day after they promised a refund on the phone and gave me a refund code to include with my return. I notified The Holster Store that if they wouldn't refund my money I would dispute the credit card charges
-something I've never had to do before.
I haven't received a refund and The Holster Store is trying to defraud me of the $90.86 credit card charge by telling my credit card company that they never received the holsters I returned but I have USPS tracking confirmation they were delivered and I also have an email from The Holster Store, after the return was delivered, notifying me that I would receive a refund for my order minus shipping and a 20% restocking fee.

It's Successful Crime 101: Don't leave anything behind at the scene of a crime. Doing so might give law enforcement just the break they need to come find you and arrest you. It was a violation of this basic tenet that lead to the arrest of a man for alleged burglary. He apparently left his dog behind at a home that had been burglarized.
A police officer recognized the dog and had seen him with the man earlier in the day. The rope around the dog's neck was distinctive, which made him even easier to recognize. Police officers went to his home where they found some of the stolen items. The man is in jail, charged with residential burglary.
That's two alleged bad actions on his part: burglary and not attending to his dog.

Hi Doug,
Love the Bi-weekly mailbags, thought I'd give it a go and see if I could get a line of your wishes for 2012.
What are you really looking forward to for 2012? Do you have a division you think is going to rule the ratings?
My thinking is that if Brando Rios and Robert Guerrero move up in weight as it's rumoured, the division to be in could be Light Welter. Peterson, Khan, Maidana, Morales, Garcia and Bradley along with those two just scream 'Great Match-Ups' and throw in Marquez (if he doesn't retire) and it could just be the most exciting division of 2012.
As a Brit I'm obviously hoping Amir comes back 10 fold and think he should stay where he is and try and become the No. 1 in one division before 'dream' fights against the wife beater who, let's face it, will probably think up another 'reason' for not fighting Pacman when he gets released. And really how the hell did he manage to keep his belt? Surely that contravenes enough of the WBC's own rules in itself! Am I the only one who rues the day that Graciano Rocchigianisettled his dispute with them and didn't just let this corrupt little organisation enter Chapter 7.
As for the Lightweights even if we do lose the top three in the current ratings I still think there are some great fights out there and a chance for Ricky Burns or Kevin Mitchell and Antonio DeMarco to really shine. At Light-Middleweight I'd love to see Alvarez and Cotto get it on, and at Bantamweight Moreno and Mares would be a cracker.
As you may have noticed I've picked a few No.1's and No. 2's of the divisions as my main wish for 2012 is for The Ring Champion boxes to be filled in and 'Vacant' not to be the Champion of so many divisions! Here's to hoping! — Chris McCandlish
I guarantee you that there will be less RING title vacancies by the end of 2012 than there are now. The magazine's cruiserweight title will be filled by the winner of the Yoan Pablo Hernandez-Steve Cunningham rematch on Feb. 4.
If a Moreno-Mares fight is made, you better believe THE RING bantamweight title will be up for grabs.
Which division will be the hottest in 2012? That's a good question. I think you're correct in selecting the junior welterweight class, even though Bradley (who will most likely win the Manny Pacquiao sweepstakes), Maidana and Alexander are all headed to welterweight this year. Peterson, Khan, Morales, Matthysse, Garcia, Mike Alvarado, and a number of non-RING-rated standouts, such as veteran Humberto Soto, and young guns Jessie Vargas, Josesito Lopez and Vernon Paris, make the 140-pound division the most stacked with talent and potential good matchups. If Rios and Guerrero join the junior welter party (there's no guarantee that either will), that's just gravy for us fans.
Junior middleweight has promise if the James Kirkland-Carlos Molina winner actually faces Vanes Martirosyan (as per the WBC's "semi"-title elimination stipulations) and then the winner of that fight gets a mandatory shot at Saul Alvarez. It will be interesting to see how Alfredo Angulo bounces back and if Erislandy Lara can land a title shot. I wouldn't mind watching the Cuban standout challenge one of the underrated beltholders of the division, such as Austin Trout or Cornelius Budradge. I'd also like to see Delvin Rodriguez get a title shot or a significant bout on HBO or Showtime.
I also believe that light heavyweight has potential. It's got the aggressive young contenders with WBO boss Nathan Cleverly, IBF beltholder Tavoris Cloud, WBA titleholder Beibut Shumenov, and former champ Jean Pascal; the skilled veterans with RING champ B-Hop, Chad Dawson and Zsolt Erdei; and one scary ass darkhorse in my man Ismayl Sillakh (watch out for this Ukrainian brotha, he's taking no prisoners in 2012). With a little luck, one of the super middleweight stars – Ward, Froch, Bute or Kessler – will test the waters at 175 pounds this year.
Beyond good matchups in boxing's deepest divisions, the main thing I'm looking forward to in 2012 is for the sport to get over its Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather obsession. If the fight happens this year, well then, halle-f__king-lujah. Boxing fans around the world can form a giant daisy chain and jerk each other off until Michael Buffer hollers "Let's get ready to rumble!" with Floyd and Manny in the ring. But if the super-mega-ultra-uber fight does not happen this year, my most sincere wish if for everyone to DROP THE F__KING subject. I cannot begin to express how so sick I am of Mayweather and Pacquiao fans holding every internet boxing forum, message board and comments page hostage with their ignorant, racist ramblings. I'm tired of the pointless debate. I'm tired of sharing the boxing world with small-minded nut huggers pretending to be real fans. If Pacquiao-Mayweather doesn't happen in 2012, I want the fight to go away forever and I want their most mindless fans to disappear with it.
Sorry for the rant, Chris. Thanks for all of your kind words. And for the record, the mailbag is a TWICE-weekly column (at least 40 of the 52 weeks of the year), not bi-weekly.
Moving on… just finished watching Andre Ward's masterful performance, and I can't help but comment on the scoring of two judges whom had it 115-113. Where do they get these guys?! What were they watching?! There is no way Froch won more than two rounds. Being one who believes Marquez beat Pacquiao, I believe it is time for boxing to take a different approach to appointing judges. I don't know what the required credentials are needed to be a judge, but what if people who are actually involved in the sport become judges? Former boxers, trainers, referees, and journalists would seem to be the ideal candidates. How great would it be to see Mills Lane, Bert Sugar, Angelo Dundee, and Larry Holmes scoring a fight? Also, I think it should be more than three judges. There should be ten judges ringside scoring championship fights. It should take the lead of Olympic gymnastics and diving which reaches a more general consensus and cuts down on the controversy. I know these ideas are radical, and have some negatives in there own, but what do you think Doug? Thanks. – Roger
Nothing wrong with radical ideas, Roger, they just need to be rooted in some logic. I'm not convinced that more judges equals better judging. In fact, less is probably more in this instance.
I have no problem with the referee scoring certain prize fights (the way some non-world title bouts are determined on British soil). All that matters to me is how good of a judge the ref is. Boxing's problem isn't that there aren't enough judges; it's that there aren't enough good ones.
The three-judge system works fine when we have quality officials in place.
What boxing needs are strict standards for officials who are assigned the highest-profile bouts, especially fights that have one or more major titles on the line (as the Ward-Froch and Khan-Peterson fights did). Whoever refs or judges those bouts should be the most experienced officials with the best track records. It's as simple as that.
I like the idea of having celebrity boxing hall-of-famers scoring big fights, but I'm not sure Mills Lane, Bert Sugar, Angelo Dundee, and Larry Holmes would do much better than the usual suspects, Patricia Morse Jarman, Glen Trowbridge, Glen Hamada and Duane Ford.
Just because someone is a great referee or writer or trainer or fighter doesn't mean that he will make a great judge.
Regarding the Fight of the Year, unless fans are treated to a truly great high-profile showdown as we were in 2000 (Barrera-Morales I), 2002 (Gatti-Ward I), 2005 (Corrales-Castillo I), and 2008 (Vazquez-Marquez III), there's going to be a lot of debate as to which bout was the most exciting of the year.
Most years we have a handful of gems and the best of the bunch boils down to what each fans prefers in a good scrap – sustained two-way action, ebbs and flow, multiple knockdowns, blood and guts, miraculous comebacks, etc.
This is one of those years. Berto-Ortiz I was as good as it gets for six rounds, but I agree that a lot of the exchanges were sloppy and I also think the action tapered off in the late rounds. The best fight that I saw live in 2011 didn't even make most "honorable mention lists" – Marcos Maidana-Erik Morales. I loved this fight, and not just because of the action. The DRAMA of the bout made it unforgettable in my opinion. Who "El Terrible" is and what he means to boxing, the awful condition of his eye after the first round, and the fact that he was completely counted out, had as much to do with the compelling nature of this fight as the back-and-forth action for 12 rounds.
Hey Dougie,
How's it going? Happy New Year to you. I am a big fan of your work and have emailed you a handful of times over the years. You even put one in the Monday morning mailbag!!!! Thanks, that was a big thrill for me.
I am writing you because I have been a boxing fan for over 25 years and have never been to a big Vegas fight!!!! I live in the Bay Area and have been too many local shows featuring Andre Ward and even the card I met you at: Kirkland-Julio/Ortiz-Arnaoutis in San Jose, Calif. Due to lack of funds or waiting for the right fight to go to it has just never happened. Well the time has come and I am going to Berto-Ortiz II on February 11th (my birthday) in Vegas. I am so excited to take in the whole event. Can you give me any tips as to attending any of the activities such as the weigh in or where to hang out? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. You going out for this one? If so maybe we can grab a drink. Keep up the good work. Take care. – Alex
I will be there (God willing), Alex. I'm looking forward to covering this bout. (In fact, I should probably make my flight and hotel arrangements this week.) And I'll drink anything as long as it has alcohol in it, but I'm partial to a room-temperature pint of Guinness.
Advice? Just enjoy yourself, buddy. Try to get in town by Wednesday or Thursday morning, if work or school or wife permits. You can bump into pro fighters on the card (and those who are just in to watch the show) before and after the final press conference, which usually takes place around noon on Thursday. The weighins for these big fights are always open to the public. It will be interesting to see if this one can attract more than a 1,000 fans. In recent years, only Pacquiao, Hatton and Mayweather bouts have attracted big numbers to the MGM Grand's Garden Arena for a weighin.
If you're a night owl, hang out by the Rouge Lounge or the Zuri bar, which is near the lobby (and the main elevators) into the wee hours. You'll see a lot of boxing people in and around those drinking holes (and most are pretty friendly one they're drunk).
I hope to see you there, Alex. Don't be a stranger if you see me.
Hey Dougie,
Why did you get rid of all the crazy inflated typos on the records for the honourable mentions in the On The Cusp story on prospects to watch in 2012? That was the best part of the original article. Seriously though, I enjoyed the article and know the typos aren't your fault.
I'm hoping Rosenthal doesn't pull another Omar Narvaez non-effort (i.e., triple spaced, size 22 font and half the regular number of features) with the 3rd issue of the magazine under his watch.
The Ring Mag is like a hotly antcipated PPV or Championship fight, the loyal readership expects world-class writing, production and effort from the staff.
Like I said I know it's not you but I sincerely hope things get ironed out.
Peace. – Adam, Whitby Canada
I know it sounds like I'm making excuses, but I swear on the Bible, Qur'an, Torah, Dhammapada, Mahabharata, Guru Granth Sahib, Toa Te Ching, and The Boxing Register (the official record book of the IBHOF) that Rosenthal is not at fault for the weird-ass size and font of the January issue. But the growing pains of taking over the magazine are pretty much over for Mighty Mike. You'll find that the February (90th anniversary) issue has more quality content without typos or strange point sizes, and I guarantee that you'll think the March issue (with Saul Alvarez and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on the cover) is off the damn chain. I'll go ahead and give the March issue, which we just put to bed, the "Dougie stamp of approval."
Please let me know what you think when you read it, and thank you for the kind words and the criticism. Both are appreciated.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
DiversityDiversity description:
The family Palaephatidae currently includes ca. 60 species equally divided between southern South America (Davis 1986) and Australia (Nielsen 1987; Common 1990). Five genera (Sesommata, 6 species; Metaphatus, 6 species; Plesiophatus, l species; Palaephatus, 13 species; and Apophatus, 2 species) have been described from South America and two (Azaleodes, 4 species and Ptyssoptera, 25 species) from Australia. Autapomorphies for the Palaephatidae include the terminal, median ridge covered with campaniform sensillae on the oviscapt and possibly the mesal plate on the abdominal prolegs of the larva. The squamiform seta laterad to the pretarsal claw on the larva is an unusual feature also shared with some Incurvariidae and Prodoxidae. Unlike most monotrysian Heteroneura, adult male Palaephatidae have also developed a diverse assortment of sex scale pockets, most of them located in various regions of the wings.

|Changing the Paper Size in Word
For US versions of Microsoft Word, the default paper size is 8.5 X 11 inch letter. While you will probably print most of your letters, reports, and other documents on this size paper, at some point in time you will probably want to use a different size paper like legal size or some other more obscure paper. Lucky for us, Word does not place any limitations on the size or shape of the paper except that the dimensions must be between 1 X 1 inch and 22 X 22 inches; Of course, there is a good chance that your printer sets greater limitations on the paper you use than Word will, so before you make any changes to the page size, you should consult your printer documentation it will save you a lot of frustration in the long run.

An exhibit of documents, newspapers and letters related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is opening this week at the Old U.S. Mint in New Orleans.
Loyola University says the exhibit is curated by students in its University Honors Program.
The exhibit "JFK: A Wounded Nation" marks the 50th anniversary of the Nov. 22, 1963, assassination. It opens with a reception Thursday night and runs through Nov. 24.
The exhibit includes, among other items, original newspapers from Dallas, New York and Washington providing coverage of the assassination and funeral; a copy of the Warren Commission Report signed by then-Congressman Gerald R. Ford; and an original letter signed by FBI director J. Edgar Hoover thanking an FBI agent who provided images for the commission's report.

|A few answers to the same questions...
First thing to mention, please do not email me about a project as I am not taking any on at the moment. Also, since I received a number of emails about how I make things, I figured it may be best to make an entry here about that, etc.
I have a healthy respect for the tattoo world. Though I appreciate when I see my work tattooed on a person, I do not create tattoo designs for anyone at this time.
Illustrations/Mixed Media work:
I make a majority of my work by hand. Ie: I do not use Photoshop brushes/effects in my work. I'm not that technologically advanced to do such a thing. My use of a computer is extremely basic in that regard. It's a great tool to clean up images, but I don't see it as a creative tool by itself. Many commercial projects I work on require a great deal of versatility/flexibility in their uses and sizing. Because of this, I tend to construct pieces physically in layers, and will scan those elements for later use. Photography also plays a major part in what I create.
Overall Advice:
Learn to be poor yet dedicated, forever. Step away from the computer every chance you can and learn how to be flexible as an artist/designer. Learn art history, color theory, grid systems, typography, photography, and illustration. Work with other artists/designers around you. We all learn from one another. Education is everything, but the institution isn't. School is great, but retaining information is better. With that said, Art School is great for some and a waiting room for others. It's certainly not a requirement to be an artist.
To summarize, I am a person just like you, no better or worse. I work to create things that I find interesting and fulfilling on a variety of levels. My advice to you is to find your voice and do the same, and hopefully it will lead you in a positive direction. Good luck.

Hoi An Information
Hoi An Weather
Hoi An Information0
Unlike Northern Vietnam, Hoi An is a city of two seasons with warm weather averaging 29°C dominating for most of the year. The wet monsoon season spans the months from September through to January with a dry season for the rest of the year.
Most days temperatures average between 25°C and 30°C with the hottest months being June and July.
Best Time to Come to Hoi An
December delivers cool breezes to Hoi An, making it perfect for exploring town although the most pleasant temperatures are between February and April. Rainfall is also low, making these months a great time to visit. If you are a beach lover then make your trip a little later towards the beginning of June when long hot sunny days are guaranteed.
Monsoon conditions also influence the weather in Hoi An with heavy rains starting in September and ending sometime in January. Hoi An is best avoided during the rainy months, especially in October and November when flooding is usually a problem. The areas close to the waterfront can experience severe conditions during this time.
Hoi An is a city that is dominated by a wet (monsoon) season and a dry season with little in between. The dry season from February through to May brings lots of mild warm weather coupled with low humidity, this is therefore a time of peak tourism in Hoi An so it might be worth booking ahead for your trip. Things get gradually hotter with temperatures hitting 38°C in July, building up to a season change in September.
The annual monsoon brings plenty of rain to the area with constant showers guaranteed pretty much every day from September to January. Flooding is normal during this time with heavy rain hitting in October, typhoons are also not considered unusual during the monsoon season. As the rain starts to ease and temperatures cool down to between 19°C and 24°C in December, this makes for a nice visit with fewer tourists around, although you may need to bring a light jacket for the cooler evenings.

|Dialog Option
|USDA Soil
Texture - Rough Estimate of H2O Infiltration based on Soil Type
ISC will default to this source useing the most conservative setting available "Clay".
|Texture Drop list
|Choose one of twelve soil textures. The summary box is updated to reflect the infiltration rate based on the selected option.
|Texture description
|Depending on which texture item from the drop list is selected, this description will describe the composition of soil types, their relative percentages, and particle size.
of Agriculture (USDA) Textural Triangle
|The chart identifies each soil type listed in the drop list. The soil textural triangle can be used to determine soil texture from the relative amounts of particles of any two sizes. The composition of a soil type can be interpreted by following the component lines to the appropriate axis. Alternatively, the soil type can be identified knowing the composition of clay, silt, and sand elements.
|Default Rate Supplied by Parent Resource - This dialog is offered in numerous irrigation setup boxes. By default, ISC will select the parent resource as the source of information for infiltration. The parents value is forwarded to the summary box. Note, the dialog associated with the parent at the top of the hierarchical list, the "System Runtime Limits & Defaults", will indicate "Not Submitted" as it has no parent.
|Water Infiltration Rate -
LVE recommends this method, because it most closely measures actual
infiltratin rates for the sites soil. The USDA estimate methods will get close to actual, but
for those willing to spend a little time we believe this is the best
The process involved in determining the absorption or infiltration rate can be elaborate. One of the "correct" methods is one sanctioned by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, FAO. A website with their official methodology can be found at "Annex 2 Infiltration rates and infiltration test". By their definition "infiltration rate is the velocity or speed at which water enters into the soil. It is usually measured by the depth (in mm) of the water layer that can enter the soil in one hour. An infiltration rate of 15 mm/hour means that a water layer of 15 mm (~ 0.6") on the soil surface, will take one hour to infiltrate."
"In dry soil, water infiltrates rapidly. This is called the initial infiltration rate. As more water replaces the air in the pores, the water from the soil surface infiltrates more slowly and eventually reaches a steady rate. This is called the basic infiltration rate".
To determine the basic infiltration rate they prescribe the use of an "infiltration ring", a device with an outer ring of 60 cm and a concentric inner ring with a diameter of 30 cm. The rings are hammered into the soil to a depth of 15 cm, leaving a 12 cm height exposed above the surface. The space between the two rings is filled with water. The drop in water height relative to the ring top is plotted as a function of time. When the plot becomes linear, the "basic infiltration rate" can be determined using the slope of the linear portion of the plot.
The infiltration rings are available from various sources on the Internet, Google the term "infiltration ring." One interesting link is to a company named "Turf-Tec" that provides a number of options, though apparently targeted for professional use.
That was the official method, but the equipment acquisition is probably too expensive for the average end user. A rough estimate for absorption can be determined using an alternate method. It basically entails digging a 10" deep hole using a post hole digger, filling it with water, and measuring the drop over a period of time. To review this process see "LVE Infiltration Determination".The method described below has been found to provide adequate results.
Dig a hole from the surface to just below root depth. We are only interested in infiltration, not permeability of the soil. The instructions for this procedure are:
1) Use post hole diggers and dig a hole about 10" - 12" deep
2) Use a steel brush to remove sheen on sides of hole
3) Fill with water - allow to empty or soak (1 hr)
4) Refill with water, measure water surface relative to the the top of a board laid across the hole. Record start time.
5) In 1 hour or when measurable dissipation is apparent, measure the water surface as before and record stop time.
6) Enter difference in measured depths under "Water Depth"
7) Enter elapsed time in an HH:MM:SS controls
For best results, soil temperature should be at least 65 deg Fahrenheit for this procedure. Additionally, the soil should contain the approximate moisture content representative of the soil conditions desired. Perform the test when cool temperatures are present in order to minimize evaporation influence.
|Water Depth
|The amount of water that was absorbed or that infiltrated into the soil. This depth value is the difference between the height of the water when the clock started, and the height when the clock stopped.
|UOC drop list
|Identify the unit of choice you are working with.
|Elapsed Time
|Enter the elapsed time in the appropriate edit box, hours, minutes, seconds.
|Summary - whichever source is used, the infiltration rate associated with that source is presented here
|H2O Rate
|The amount indicated here is the value reported any time ISC needs to know the infiltration rate. Select one of the three radio buttons to the right of each category, to select it as the source for use. Alternatively, manipulating any control within a category will automatically select that category as the source.

Kratom Strains and Colors
Kratom can be considered the jack of all trades in regards to the strains and colors and can seem complicated from the outside looking in. There are many different names and colors, and at times can get confusing. Kratom is simple when broken down the right way, so allow me to elaborate a bit on this rarely documented topic.
Kratom comes from regions throughout Indonesia, Malaysia, Borneo and Thailand and the kratom effects are defined by this, taking into account the climate, ore composition and more. Borneo strains are known to be the most pain relieving and can provide some energy when used to the correct dosage. Thai strains are the most energizing and do provide a decent amount of pain relief. Malaysian (Malay) strains tend to extend the effects and last the longest. Malay is the happy medium of pain relief and energy. Next is the color of each strain. Each leaf has a certain color vein that runs through it and this vein can also define a strains effects. These colors include white, red and green. White's and Green's are pain relieving and energizing whereas Reds are also pain relieving, but can be more sedating when taken in higher amounts. Combine the Origin with its color and you have yourself a unique product.
The ore composition, or soil, of each of these regions, along with the climate is what makes each Kratom leaf unique and different from another. The combination of these properties will affect the strength and abundance of the active alkaloids found in the leaf matter. A few of these active alkaloids include mitragynine, 7-hydroxymitragynine, and mitraphylline.
These, of course, are not all of the places or colors that Kratom comes in, but they are the most common. This will provide you with a good basis for comparison when looking for your perfect Kratom strain.

I feel like it's been a thousand years since the season finale of Glee, which made me bawl despite the fact that the show had been annoying me all season.
Perhaps the whole Rachel-Finn-engagement storyline would have tugged at my heartstrings a little harder if Glee had gone ahead and aired this pretty scene that finds all the gals in a bridal shop and nods to Bridesmaids with its blush-frock ensembles. The McKinley girls look like they walked right off the movie's poster.
I especially love Santana and Brittany's takes on pink. (Red always was more their color, as evidenced by this on-set pic Lea Michele tweeted yesterday...)
But I mostly loved getting another look at that tea-length dress of Rachel's--so Rachel Berry.
And here's another clip that ended up on the cutting room floor: Klaine time!

5. Player to watch AVALANCHE: Gabriel Landeskog - (LW: 92)
Landeskog ranks second on the team in points (28) and assists (16)… He currently has a four-game point streak, where he has three goals and five points… He became the NHL's youngest captain at 19 years, 297 days on Sept. 4, 2012… He was taken 2nd overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft and won the Calder Trophy as NHL's Rookie of the Year for the 2011-12 season after he posted 52 points (22g-30a) in 82 games… Landeskog has played just one game against the Flyers, scoring one goal.
"Six points in three games, especially when you haven't been playing well - it's huge."
- Scott Hartnell

Vento Motorcycles, USA, has revamped its design, manufacturing and business processes with a focus on improving the design, quality and reliability of its product families and enhancing customer service to consumers and dealers, the company announced today.
Among other initiatives, Vento is focusing on improving relations and support for its dealer partners. The company has divided the U.S. into eight regions and created an in-house sales team with dedicated sales coordinators for each region. The focus on customer service for dealers includes a policy to answer all phone calls during business hours, eliminating the need for dealers to leave voicemail messages and wait for answers.
"In late 2006, we realized that in order to provide the best Vento experience for our dealers and end users around the world, we would need to take a serious look at the way we manage all of our processes from design to delivery and beyond," stated Isaac Calderon, Vento president. "After an exhaustive review of our internal processes, we identified some key areas where we could effect changes that would make a significant improvement to both our products and the support that we provide to our customers."
Vento management realized the only way to build a consistently high level of quality and reliability into the company's line of motorcycles, scooters and ATVs was to manage every aspect of product development from design to assembly.
Now Vento's U.S.-based design team oversees the research, design and development of all new Vento products, including a number of new engine designs in development specifically for Vento with the help of a top-tier Australian engine design firm, a spokesperson says.
Once the engine designs are finalized, Vento commissions the manufacturing of the engine components and brings everything together at the company's Laredo, Texas, assembly plant, where a robust Quality Assurance program enables Vento to manage and closely control the entire assembly process. To ensure the quality of its products, Vento uses components from world-class vendors including Mikuni, Bosch, Marzocchi, Maxxis and Brembo, the spokesperson says.
Vento increased its limited power train warranty from one to three years, so improving the quality and reliability of its products makes sense for the balance sheet and for customer satisfaction.
To improve its customer service program, Vento implemented a Total Quality Management approach, embracing processes that focusing on setting, achieving and exceeding quality standards to deliver products and services that exceed customer needs. The company's new customer support team ensures prompt online and phone-based customer assistance to provide product support for parts, warranties and technical issues, and a team of customer service representatives and field engineers has been dedicated specifically to cater to Vento's dealers' needs for training, troubleshooting and general support. Vento's dealer kits are designed to provide customers with ease of ordering for parts and service warranties.
"By designing our own engines and building them in our own assembly plant, we are now able to maintain full control over every stage of the design and manufacturing process to ensure that we deliver the best product possible," Calderon says. "With our enhanced customer support program, we are making Vento's products even more attractive for dealers to sell and consumers to ride."
