Over the Hedge 2
this wiki
A sequel to the 2006 film, Over the Hedge. This film will be made in 2015 and takes place 2 years after the events of the first film and it will feature new characters.
One Day in Suburbia, RJ and his friends preparing for the 4th of July just like everybody else in the Suburbian neighborhood. RJ and the gang get ready to watch the fire works and they celebrate independence day
One day RJ discovers on the news that he and the animals are famous. When he tells it out to the others they are amazed at this. But the newscaster says that they should stop this forever and tells everyone to try and find them And be send for extermination. After that RJ believes that the gang should go on a vacation for a while until this all ends and they all agree. They packed their snacks, cases and sunglasses and head by traviling on foot. Later, a villian whose known as The Hunter Boss who was watching the news is mourning the loss of his father and plans to get revenge on the animals and decides to get Gladys out of jail.
They traveled across america where they sight see across the states. Vincent who has now has his fur all grown back is performing at an animal show at the country fair but when he sees the clan he with the help of 4 more animals cause a fiasco at the fair making everyone thinking he's killing more of the animals after that Vincent and his minions set off after them.
While on a boat RJ watches the sunset but feels sad, he tells Verne why because he has never had a girl friend before. Heather over hears this and at night when everyone (except her falls asleep) she sings a song to RJ telling him that she loves him ever since he first came and imagines the memories of them together. Vincent and his minions try to attack RJ and the animals but failed when they enter the wrong room and scare all of the passengers and they all fell into the sea and survive the night.
Next morning the gang quickly get of the ship and hitch a ride to the forest of Louisiana. When they arrive they discovery hundreds of animals. When a female possum appears and introduces herself the gang she suddenly recognizes Heather and Ozzie and she is revealed to Heather's mother/Ozzie's wife. She is glad to see them again and calls out to the family that Ozzie & Heather are home. We are then introduced to the rest of Heather' family who are glad to see them again. Ozzie introduces their friends to his mom and dad (Opal & Ivan), Martha's parents (Shaw and Mary), Shaw's goose friend Margret and Ozzie's adapted sister Lucy and joining the party is Ryan, Heather's childhood friend and his adopted mother possum Rebecca who thought RJ and the gang had brought her and Ozzie are home. That night Martha shows Heather her old tree where she used to live when she was born, Ozzie remembers everything now and Martha reminds her about her past and what happened when she was little (She and Ozzie were swept away in a flood in a box upriver) and they missed her and Ozzie so much. Heather remembers now and is happy of her memory and her old home.
That night The Hunter Boss is getting Gladys out of prison. Back in the forest Heather is having a bad dream about Vincent about to eat RJ. She tries to stop him but falls, she wakes from her nightmare and goes to find a vending machine. She manages to and buys some snacks and soft drinks from the machines and puts them in RJ's bag to suprise him the next day which successfully does the next day.
The next morning Heather asks Ozzie if she can go hang out with Ryan and his friends. Ozzie says yes and once Heather gets there Ryan takes her to the place were his 5 friends hang out. Ryan introduces his friends Pablo, Tinnofy, Sarah, Helga and Viola To her. They are unimpressed with Heather at first but when Ryan tells them it's his childhood friend they change they're personality to her and become friends. At the Hunter Boss' camp, he treats his minions nicely about animals. The Hunter Boss second minion says that they can be animals. Gladys, who is now the boss of him, angrily shouts at his minions to get going find RJ and the gang and get rid the animals and tells some of them to set a bunch of traps to capture them. Gladys turns to the camera and jumps in front of it said that they're going to keep moving by today.
That night, Ozzie says to Ivan that other species are very loyal to them. The next morning Ivan takes RJ a tour around the forest everything goes good until they encounter Ivan's rival: Bernardo an Indian American owl who teases him for helping someone like RJ. Heather and Ryan meanwhile along with their friends were having fun on the journey, they enjoy stealling food from picnickers and sliding down the trees. That night the teenage 8 animals are relaxing in the campfire that night. Ryan tells the gang a story about what happened to father when he was little. A little fox was sung a lullaby by his father. But one night the hunters are here. His father tells him to run and Ryan runs faster by his fathers last words. Ryan keeps running until Brian is shot by hunters. Ryan calls out his father but nobody is there. Ryan is so sad that father was shot and killed. So he went off alone and he was adopted by Rebecca, Heather's 2nd aunt and she becomes his mother.
Later, Palipi introduces the other friends Tommy, Bob, Roise and Jamie to the family and RJ says the line from the first film. That night, Vincent, Daisy, Nigel, Felipe and Shannon are making a big plan for revenge. Back in the forest RJ is suddenly tossing and turning, Ozzie sees this and asks if he's okay RJ then tells him the story of his mean and cruel father. Because it was back in 1997 when RJ was 7 years old and a robot was coming and his father tells him to get ready to roar at it. RJ does it but does a squeaky hiss. After that his dad kicks him out and he gets sent to Canada leaving RJ all by himself.
Later, The Hunter Boss tells Gladys the story of when he was younger, his father loved him and his mean mother didn't. One Day on his fathers birthday (Which was back in summer 1989), his mean mother got a python snake instead, making the two watch in horror. His father says to him that he still loves him before he dies. After that Hunter Boss' Mother kicks him out, and because of that hunter has grown a strong hatred towards animals and plans to kill of kinds around the world.
That next morning, the animals learn about hunting season and must make a plan about sending the hunters away. But the plan goes awary when hunters appear and capture and surround the animals this time RJ tells Verne, Heather, Stella, Ozzie and Tiger to warn the others while he and and the rest of the gang can stop them but they end up captured and put in cages. The other animals meanwhile manage to find a hiding spot but only to find that hunter boss and Gladys are already there. They try to escape but Gladys kicks Heather & Ozzie into cages while hunter boss puts Verne, Stella and Tiger into cages.
Later when they are put into a truck they find RJ, Verne, Billy, Hannah, Jamie, Hammy, Lou, Penny, Spike, Bucky and Quillo are already in cages and are taken away to pet stores. RJ blames himself for this and thinks it's his fault but Verne talks to him telling him that it's not his or anyone's fault, which makes him feel better. Ryan hears that his friends are captured and feels guilty for not helping them and wonders off sadly. The teenage animals see this and allow him to be part of their group but Ryan refuses saying that he must rescue RJ and the gang. Pablo insults him about the gang including Heather which makes Ryan cross and ditches the teens and goes to rescue his friends. Ryan hops on the truck and uses whipped cream on his lips to scare the 2 hunters (Jon Lovitz & Davi Viera) which fools them and makes them run out of the truck and rescues the gang who are glad to see him for rescuing them and they make a run for it when they are discovered by one of the hunters (Judah Friedlander). They manage to outsmart the hunter by sending him to the wrong direction and causing him to fall off a cliff.
The gang make it back and RJ has a plan to send the hunters away. First he gathers the Heather's family, her friends, the party animals and the gang and tells them about how to send the hunters away by scaring them and throwing human objects at them. The gang agree to help defeat the hunters by tomorrow morning. That night Gladys and hunter boss learn that the animals have escaped and tell them to find them or else they'll be killed by his pet poison frog. Next morning RJ and the gang set off to find the hunters (Even Ryan joins in). They find all of the hunters out in the woods looking for animals to kill when they find RJ and the gang in trees glaring angrily at them which makes them scared and try to runaway but they are stopped by hunter boss who tells them that they're only a bunch of rats and vermins and tells them to kill them. But the gang fight and attack the hunters and joining the fight are more of the forest animals including Bernardo who tosses rocks at them, Sid chuck a ball at them and Ryan's friends who also help attack the hunters which makes them runaway. Jamie uses a slingshot to launch Rosie and Bob to send Rob flying and makes the chicken fly much to his surprise and drops eggs on them. The hunters flee and the gang celebrates. RJ and the family celebrate thinking they've outwitted all of the hunters but however they are attacked by hunter boss & Gladys who show no fear in them and try to kill by using machine guns. When hunter boss has one bullet and when the animals hide (Except for Heather who has her tail stuck in a twig and can get out) Hunter boss tries to shoot her with his last bullet but RJ quickly gets her out of the way and the bullet hits a python snake.
Hunter Boss is cross and tells RJ that he's gonna pay for what he did but RJ bravefully, yet strongly stands up to him and whacks his head hard with a golf stick by saying I thought I told you: WE MEAN NO HARM!
Everyone cheers for what RJ did and congratulate him (Including Ozzie and Martha) for saving Heather. While the others cheer Heather finally admits her feelings to RJ which makes him happy. Just when they're about to kiss, Nigel suddenly appears out of nowhere and swipes RJ and takes him to Vincent. Everyone sees this and follow him. Nigel drops RJ and Vincent appears in front of him to get revenge by using a chainsaw to open his heart and take it out, but just as he was about to do it Daisy reminds him of the dynamite she set of dynamite (She was going to use it blow up RJ) this causes Vincent to say oh dang and the dynamite explodes.
Hunter Boss meanwhile has woken up and is about to take his gun, only to find himself and Gladys face to face with the same snake he shot the bullet at. He nervously offers it a donut but the snakes violently wraps himself around him and chases Gladys while dragging Hunter Boss to kill him. Verne and the gang find RJ but they think he was killed by the explosion. Heather is sad that she never got to kiss RJ and cries softly and buries her eyes into her paws, Ozzie who say that they're gonna kiss earlier realizes that she loves him even though he died of the explosion. Verne digs up RJ's grave and is about to burry him but RJ suddenly wakes up saying that he was knocked unconciouss by being hit in the head by a tree but it broke his head bone. Everyone is relieved that he's alive and he and Heather kiss and Heather becomes his girlfriend and manages to put duck tape his injured head to make him feel better.
Vincent and his minions (Who had survived the explosion see that RJ is still alive) try to kill them but they are thwarted when men from animal control appear and take them all back to animal control, Vincent begs RJ and the gang to free him and his Minions but they just leave.
The Newscaster (Who was watching the animals fight the hunters) tells the Animals are now brave heores.
That night RJ and the gang are celebrating their victory and Heather asks Ozzie if she and RJ could hang out which he agrees and tells her that RJ is the hero who she deserves. Ryan enjoys this and his friends (Who now become nice to the gang are impressed with his bravery towards the hunters and forgive Heather for what they said about her behavior to her and Ryan For insulting the gang). RJ also thinks that Louisiana is they're new home and Verne agrees to stay here and start a new life.

News for Friday 081613
By Dave Graichen
Tropical Storm Erin has formed in the far eastern Atlantic. She is forecast to keep moving west over the next few days. The Caribbean disturbance that is approaching the Gulf is now at a 50 percent chance that it will continue to develop.
That tropical wave in the Gulf of Mexico is now less of a threat to Louisiana than it was just 24 hours ago. Jonathan Brazzell with the National Weather Service in Lake Charles says the disturbance is now less organized. And the National Hurricane Center has also lowered the chances of the wave developing into a named storm.
The second hostage who was shot Tuesday in St. Joseph has died. LaDean McDaniel was taken off life support yesterday. She was shot by a gunman who was holding her and two others in a room at the Tensas State Bank during negotiations with officers. One hostage was let go. Before SWAT took down the man, he shot McDaniel and Jay Warbington...who died that day.
According to a new report by Families For Better Care, Louisiana ranks second-worst in the nation for nursing home care. The report says Louisiana gets an F in patient care -- and found that patients here receive an average of just 32 minutes of professional nursing care per day. Texas ranked as worst in the report which also found that one in five nursing homes abused, neglected or mistreated residents in almost half of all states.
Lawmakers have reversed themselves and are now backing a 257-million dollar agreement with an energy company from South Africa that wants to build a multi-billion dollar fuel plant in the southwestern part of the state. A week after delaying a vote, the Joint Legislative Committee on the budget agreed to the contact with Sasol Limited without any objection. Sasol plans to build a complex near Lake Charles that would turn natural gas into chemicals, diesel and other fuels while creating nearly 13-hundred new jobs.
More than 160 soldiers in Covington, Independence, and Gonzales-based engineer companies with the Louisiana National Guard are headed to Kuwait. They will spend a year working in construction. The deployment ceremony will be held Today in Hammond at Southeastern University.
A deployment ceremony is set for Sunday, Aug. 18, in Alexandria for members of the Louisiana National Guard's 844th Engineer Company, 527th Engineer Battalion. They will bid farewell to family and friends during the ceremony at 10 a.m. Sunday in the Coughlin-Saunders Performing Arts Center at 1202 Third St. The 844th, based in Pineville and with detachment locations in Ruston and Monroe, will deploy more than 160 soldiers to Kuwait in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. They will help maintain and upgrade base camps and provide engineer support for all base camps throughout Kuwait.
US Senator David Vitter tells Louisiana residents at a town hall meeting in Baton Rouge he would rather see a federal government shut shutdown than support the use of taxpayer money for President Barak Obama's health care law. Vitter says there are serious problems with
the legislation. Vitter told the town hall attendees he will not vote for a bill that will keep US government services going beyond September 30th if it contains money to implement the new healthcare law.
In a case of "just in case," the state's insurer of last resort received permission Thursday to secure a $125 million line of credit to pay off storm damage. The State Bond Commission granted the Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corporation's request to increase its line of credit from $75 million to $125 million. Citizens CEO David Thomas said the corporation has sufficient funding and insurance to cover damage inflicted by one hurricane and the line of credit would be utilized only if a second storm hits the state.
A remembrance ceremony is being held today, one year after two St. John the Baptist Parish sheriff deputies were fatally wounded and two others severely injured in a shootout with anti-Government extremists who lived in a LaPlace trailer park. Deputies Brandon Nielsen and Jeremy Triche were killed. Seven people were initially charged for their roles in the shootings, 3 of them are still waiting trial.
The Louisiana Republican Party begins a statewide effort today to beat Senator Mary Landrieu in next year's U-S Senate race. The state GOP is starting a "Red to the Roots" Tour and the party says it's a chance to organize ahead of the 2014 elections. The "Red to the Roots" Tour gets underway this morning in Winnsboro. There will also be events in Rayville, Monroe and Sterlington today. The
different stops will feature legislators, local public figures and political consultants.
Louisiana's "Duck Dynasty" family set another cable-TV ratings record with Wednesday's premiere of season four on A&E. A record 11.8 million viewers tuned in, making it the most watched non-fiction series in cable history.

Abramoff Contributions
In 1997, Jack Abramoff gave $500 to the campaign of Republican Congressman Doc Hastings. The New York Times reported that Abramoff made an additional $500 donation to Hastings and that the Seattle law firm Abramoff worked for, Preston Gates and Ellis, donated $13,000 to Hastings' campaign and had a "close relationship for years" with the law firm.[1]
Preston Gates and Ellis, which had also hosted fundraisers for Hastings, issued a statement saying, "Preston Gates has the largest lobbying practice of any Pacific Northwest law firm. ... Members of the firm have hosted fundraisers for Rep. Hastings as we have for many other members of the Northwest Congressional delegation."[2]
Firing of U.S. attorneys
On March 6, 2007 during testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, former U.S. Attorney John McKay stated that Ed Cassidy, then-chief of staff to Hastings, called him in 2004 to ask whether he was investigating allegations of voter fraud after a Democrat won the Washington state governor's race in a third recount. At the time, McKay was serving as the chief federal law enforcement officer in Seattle. [3]
McKay said he responded to Cassidy's initial questions with "publicly available information and then tried to stop the line of questioning when pressed." McKay further explained that he thought Cassidy's questions were related to internal U.S. attorney decisions about an investigation and were therefore improper under Justice Department ethics rules. [4]
McKay said he stopped the conversation by asking Cassidy whether the aide was truly asking on behalf of his boss about an internal investigation or whether he was trying to lobby McKay to launch one, which would have been improper. Cassidy agreed that such questioning would be unethical and finished the conversation "in a most expeditious fashion," McKay said. [5]
House ethics package confusion
In a letter sent to all Chairs and Ranking Members, Ethics Committee Chair Stephanie Tubbs Jones and Ranking Member Doc Hastings, asked their colleagues for guidance on a provision of the Democratic ethics package. The letter cites in particular a new provision requiring members to register their earmarks and certify that neither they nor their spouses have a "financial interest" in the provision. The letter said that the ethics panel is considering how to define the term "request" and noted that the Rules Committee of the last Congress chose to defer to the incoming committee chairmen on the matter.
Hastings was born February 7, 1941 in Spokane, Washington. He attended Columbia Basin College and Central Washington University and earned a degree in business.
He served in the Washington State House of Representatives from 1979 to 1987, and was Assistant Majority Leader. Hastings was elected to the House in 1994 after being defeated in a 1992 bid.
Congressional career
Hastings, usually a "behind the scenes" kind of legislator, has recently been thrust into the spotlight as the chairman of the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, commonly known as the Ethics Committee. According to the Seattle Post Intelligencer, "Hastings has become a central figure in an intense political knife fight, a struggle being played out on a national scale involving Majority Leader Tom DeLay, the second-most-powerful Republican in Congress."[6]
2006 elections
In 2006, Democrats nominated Richard Wright to face Hastings in his November 2006 bid for reelection. (See U.S. congressional elections in 2006) [7] Hastings retained his seat.

During an earlier discussion of a potential bout featuring his former IBF and WBC junior welterweight titleholder Devon Alexander and Newly-crowned IBF welterweight beltholder Randall Bailey, trainer Kevin Cunningham wondered if Bailey would eventually try to avoid Alexander's challenge.
"Devon has responded with 'let's do it,'" said Cunningham, in response to Bailey's having called out Alexander. "So I hope that Bailey doesn't do the moonwalk like Michael Jackson and start backing up out of the fight."
But Bailey (43-7, 37 knockouts) says that if he does, in fact, face Alexander (23-1, 13 KOs) in a proposed Showtime-televised bout at a venue to be determined on Sept. 8, the 37-year-old titlewinner has no intentions of dancing.
"Earlier in my career, people wanted to see you move around the ring and see rounds, and when I was knocking people out, I was given the impression that it wasn't good enough. Now everybody wants to see knockouts, and I'm able to produce that. So people should be embracing my style," said Bailey, adding that he was in agreement to meet Alexander "a couple of weeks ago."
"I think that this is a very, very winnable fight for me, and I'm not really worried about it to tell you the truth, you know what I'm saying? So once we get everything signed and sealed and everything, I can begin my preparation and we can go from there. But I still haven't gotten a contract, so that's still up in the air. But once it's on, I'm definitely going into it thinking I should be able to knock Devon out."
Bailey's promoter, Lou DiBella, confirmed an initial report by BoxingScene.com which cited Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer that Bailey-Alexander has been agreed to in principle.
"We still have to finalize a few loose ends, but it's definitely the fight that we want to do," Schaefer. "It is correct that Lou and I have agreed on the deal, and so everything looks good."
Schaefer told RingTV.com Bailey-Alexander was of extreme interest to Showtime's President of Sports Programming, Stephen Espinoza.
"I'm still waiting for the contracts from Golden Boy, but it looks like it's basically a done deal for Sept. 8," said DiBella. "I've got to get a contract from them, but Bailey has agreed to the fight."
Although Bailey's manager, Si Stern, confirmed that no contract has been signed, he also acknowledged that Alexander is a major consideration.
"There has been discussions," said Stern. "But nothing final has been done."
Cunningham said Alexander welcomes the matchup.
"You have a boxer-puncher in Devon and a one-punch knockout artist in Randall Bailey. I don't think that Randall Bailey gets enough credit for being one of the biggest punchers that the welterweight division has seen in a long time. The welterweight division hasn't seen a one-punch knockout artist like Randall Bailey since the likes of Thomas Hearns," said Cunningham.
"But Devon is one of the most talented fighters out there, skill-wise, and he's a bigger puncher than people give him credit for. It's a really interesting and exciting fight. We're excited about the opportunity and excited about the chance to become a three-time world champion."
Bailey is coming off of a come-from-behind, 11th-round knockout of Philadelphia's previously unbeaten Mike Jones on June 9 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas that took place on the undercard of a split-decision victory by Tim Bradley which dethroned Manny Pacquiao as WBO welterweight beltholder.
Against Jones (26-1, 19 KOs), Bailey won his fourth straight bout, and his second by knockout during that time, having last suffered defeat by 11th-round stoppage against Juan Urango in a failed bid to earn the IBF's junior welterweight belt in August of 2009.
In his next fight in March of 2010, Urango was dethroned by eighth-round knockout against Alexander, who laughs at Bailey's assertion that he already had taken the heart out of Urango before Alexander did.
"That's really funny to me. I mean, that's the opposite. How can he say that when he got knocked out and got stopped by Urango. But that's what he's saying, that he softened him up for me?" said Alexander, laughing.
"Well I don't see how he can say that when he knocked you out. But if he says that's what happened, oh well. But I got in there and took care of business and got Urango out of there, which is something that he couldn't do."
Known for his powerful, lights-out right hand, Bailey landed two of those punches against Jones. Bailey dropped Jones once in the 10th and again in the 11th of a clash Jones had been dominating up to that point.
Jones led by 99-91, 98-92, and, 97-93 on the judges' cards prior to being dropped for good with 10 seconds left in the final round.
"That last punch he hit Mike Jones with was devastating. His power is explosive. The thing is that the probability of how Randall is going to win a fight is always by knockout. So the merits of the fight with Devon Alexander are that if Randall hits you on the chin, you've been knocked out," said DiBella.
"Against the young guys, like the Mike Jones and the Devon Alexanders, the likelihood is that Randall is going to be behind on points during the fight. These guys move a lot and they're more cautious, but all Randall has to do is to land that one punch."
In victory, Bailey earned the IBF's vacant belt. He won his first title via a first-round knockout of Carlos Gonzalez to win the WBO's junior welterweight crown in May of 1999. His record at the time was 18-0, all by stoppage.
The win over Gonzalez marked Bailey's 13th first-round knockout, after which he defended twice to improve to 20-0, all by knockout, before losing the title to Ener Julio by split-decision in July of 2000.
Bailey went to 24-1 with 24 knockouts after earning the WBA's interim title with a third-round knockout of Demetrios Ceballos in February of 2002, but was stopped for the first time in his next bout by Diosbelys Hurtado.
"The old expression is that the punch is the last thing to go, and this guy is a true puncher. Randall Bailey is the definition of a pure puncher, and that helps with your longevity when you're a puncher, if you look at, say, what George Foreman did to Michael Moorer," said DiBella, referring to a 10th-round stoppage that made Foreman the oldest man to win a heavyweight title at the age of 45.
"Randall doesn't have the same legs as he used to have or the same movement that he used to have, but his power has translated tremendously as a welterweight. In fact, I think that he's stronger as a welterweight than he was at 140 in terms of punching power. I don't care who you are, if Randall Bailey hits you on the button, you're going to be knocked out."
Although he is among the premiere young fighters in boxing, Alexander had to restore what had become a maligned reputation with a unanimous decision over Marcos Maidana in February that occurred 15 days after his 25th birthday before a partisan crowd at the Scottrade Center in his native St. Louis, Mo.
In victory over Maidana, Alexander rebounded from a series of lackluster performances, having lost his WBC junior welterweight belt following an 11th-round technical decision loss to current Bradley in January of last year, and escaped with a 10-round decision win over Lucas Matthysse in June.
"This fight with Bailey means a lot more to me, and I'm excited, because this will be my third title fight that I'll be fighting for and winning at the age of 25," said Alexander.
"So I'm excited about that. It's going to be a tough fight, but I'm definitely going in there and taking control from the opening bell until the end."
Prior to facing Bradley, Alexander won a disputed decision over former titleholder Andriy Kotelnik in August of 2009, and blamed extreme weight loss for the efforts against Kotelnik, Bradley and Matthysse.
"The weight was the issue when I was fighting at 140. I didn't know it at first, but I was like, 'something is wrong, because I'm not being as elusive as I could be, and I don't have the legs I used to have anymore,'" said Alexander. "I felt like I wasn't strong enough and that I had way more energy than I was able to put out. So the weight was definitely an issue, but hey, it happens."
Having faced Kotelnik and Matthysse in St. Louis Family Arena and Scottrade Center, respectively, Alexander was perceived to have benefited from home-cooking by the judges.
"I still got some criticism because I still feel like I haven't proven myself, because you still have people out there who are talking bad about me," said Alexander. "But in life, everything happens for a reason, so I'm still going to continue to prove myself. I think that my situation is great right now."
Cunningham said that Bailey offers Alexander yet another opportunity to display his overall abilities, including his punching power.
"When you look at this fight, most people would think that Devon is going to be running around, moving around and trying to win on points and to win by a 12-round decision, but that's not the game plan, man. The game plan for us in our mind is that we're going in there to win this fight, and we're going in there to take tht title," said Cunningham.
"The way that you that you take the title and make a statement is to win by knockout. So our game plan is to knock out the knockout king. That's what the game plan is for us. We're planning on stopping Randall Bailey. Point blank. Period."
Bailey-Alexander will compete with an HBO-televised bout between RING light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson (31-1, 17 KOs) and RING super middleweight champion Andre Ward (25-0, 13 KOs) that is slated for Sept. 8 at the Oracle Arena in Ward's hometown of Oakland, Calif.
"We've got one of the biggest events of 2012," said Ward's promoter, Dan Goossen. "We're looking forward to promoting it, and I have no problem with any events being opposite."
Dawson is dropping to 168 to challenge for Ward's WBA and WBC belts. Cunningham, however, believes that it makes sense for Bailey to defend his belt against Alexander in St. Louis, where the challenger is a big draw.
"We have some of the greatest boxing fans in the world in St. Louis, and this game is a business. It only makes sense to take the fight where it can do the best draw at the gate. Obviously, that would be St.Louis. But we're just concerned at getting a shot at the title, so it doesn't matter to us where the fight happens," said Cunningham.
"You've got another great fight on the same night with Andre Ward and Chad Dawson, and the fight is happening in Oakland, and I'm pretty sure that they know that they're going to do a big gate. But like I said, as far as we're concerned, the fight can be anywhere. We're just happy to get the shot. Much respect to Randall Bailey for stepping up to the plate."
Having vanquished Matthysse and Maidana during each of his past two victories since falling to Bradley, Alexander said he's ready to join the sport's best fighters, pound-for-pound.
Bradley dethroned Pacquiao, and it appears that Floyd Mayweather Jr. has vacated the 147-pound division, his unanimous decision dethroning Miguel Cotto as WBA junior middleweight titleholder to add that belt to the WBC's welterweight crown he already owned.
"All of the pound-for-pounds and the big-wigs that are at the top of the game right now are fixing to be leaving out," said Alexander. "So this is my shot to be one of the sport's new stars. Boxing is going to need some, and I want to be one of those."
Even at his advancing age, there is room for Bailey to face Alexander because IBF President Daryl Peoples informed RingTV.com that there is no rush for the titleholder to make a mandatory defense. Although Bailey has six months in which to take a mandatory challenge, Peoples said that the current scenario allows him much more time.
Peoples said that England's Kell Brook (27-0, 18 KOs) and Oklahoma City's Carson Jones (34-8-2, 24 KOs) are preparing to face each other in an eliminator on July 7, with the Brock-Jones winner being in line to meet Argentina's Hector Saldivia (41-2, 32 KOs) for the No. 1 mandatory spot and the right to challenge Bailey.

Morgan Stanley Reports Middling Quarter
Morgan Stanley reported this morning and revenue came in a bit better than expected, but the earnings per share figure is muddled up in various charges and other items.
Early trading indicate Morgan Stanley up very modestly.
Revenue for the third quarter was $6.8 billion, which is better thant the $6.4 billion expected, according to Thomson Reuters. Analysts expected earnings of 15 cents a share, Morgan Stanley reported earnings from continuing operations of 7 cents a share. All of this is well off last year's earnings of 38 cents a share on revenue of $8.68 billion.
The earnings included a 12 cents a share tax boost and a 30 cents per sahre debt-related credit reduction.
One sort-of surprise: Morgan Stanley's investment banking revenue came in strong — $1.44 billion. That tops the investment-banking revenue reported by rival Goldman Sachs yesterday of $1.12 billion. They won't like that down on West Street!
Morgan Stanley CEO, James Gorman, said he wasn't satisfied with the overall performance. Well, no investment bank is happy with the current quarter. Things have gotten much tougher than one year ago, especially on the trading desks.
Morgan Stanley reported $1.44 billion in overall trading revenue, which topped the $1.22 billion the firm got in investment banking fees. Compensation expense? $3.7 billion.
Goldman Sachs had overall revenue of $8.9 billion, earnings of $2.98 a share and trading revenue of $4.8 billion.

Brad Paisley Stuns Ex-Creedence Frontman Into Silence
John Fogerty releases collaborations album that includes Brad, Miranda, Alan and Keith.
In country music, we all know how incredibly talented Brad Paisley is. And now, other genres are taking note, too.
Ex-Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty included Brad—and Miranda Lambert, Alan Jackson and Keith Urban—on his solo album coming up this fall.
And Brad is so good that Fogerty got caught staring at Brad in the studio.
"There was a point where we were kind of trading solos and one of the takes we did, he was playing and, I mean, it was amazing, it was fabulous," John tells ABC News Radio.
"And then, suddenly, there was this big silence and I went, 'Oh! Oh, that's me! Oh!'
"I was just having such a good time observing," he said with a laugh. "In other words, I was watching him and then, you know, my mouth was probably wide open, like, 'Oh my God, that's great,' and I had forgot to be a professional and, you know, play something."
John said Brad is one of his idols.
"Music is just flying out of that guy. He's an incredible guitar player. He's an incredible singer. . . . And he is definitely a songwriter and a musical presence, and he's incredibly prolific. I don't know if that guy ever sleeps. It's just so much going on all the time."

Conditions were poor for viewing all the ducks and there were at least two or three times more wigeons on Saturday. the only birds of interest there were Pintails (5 on Saturday and at least one on Sunday) and a Lesser Black-backed Gull on Sunday. My lack of success in Eden Prairie did not deter me from checking White Bear Lake for Kittiwicks, but I was no more successful. I did see a winter plumage Common Loon. On Thursday in Maple Grove, I had to pull over to the side of the road when I saw what looked like a buteo hovering being harassed by a smaller falcon. The only buteo that will normally hover is the Rough-legged. They can be ID'd at a great distance by this trait. But, this was a Red-tail. Upon closer inspection it was kiting, which is holding a stationary position with minimum wing beats, usually in a stiff wind.

With the Rolling Jubilee, Debt Activists Strike a Nerve
Long before the curtain goes up on the Rolling Jubilee's kick-off telethon tonight, it was clear that the event's organizers have struck a nerve.
The Rolling Jubilee, a project of the debt-activist group Strike Debt, an outgrowth of Occupy Wall Street and the people behind the Debt Resistors Operation Manual, is based on a diagnosis that Americans are struggling under an ever more complex and stifling architecture of student debt, medical debt, credit card debt, and mortgages.
The solution proposed by Strike Debt is based on the biblical institution of a the jubilee, a year in which debts were wiped clean and indentured servants released from their bondage. The Rolling Jubilee will buy debt on the debt market, where it can be had for pennies and the dollar, and then, rather than hounding the debtors for repayment, it will simply forgive the debt.
In the weeks leading up to tonight's telethon, the project has gone viral. Everyone from BoingBoing to the New York Times has written admiringly of the project.
Upcoming Events
New York Giants vs. New England Patriots
TicketsThu., Sep. 1, 7:00pm

"We were surprised by the level of success early on, because we hadn't been very overt about publicizing it," says Aaron Smith, one of the organizers. "The main inflection point in the reaction came when David Rees, who's taking part in the telethon, advertised it on his blog. It got picked up by Will Wheaton, and took off from there."
The project's PayPal link went live overnight, and when organizers woke up the next morning, there were already thousands of dollars in donations.
The campaign's debut telethon, which features performances from Lee Ranaldo, Jeff Mangum, Janeane Garofalo, Guy Picciotto, Tunde Adebimpe, and others, was equally popular. Tickets for the event, held tonight at 8 p.m. at Le Poisson Rouge, sold out quickly. (You can still watch it livecast on the Rolling Jubilee website.)
Business journals like Fortune have registered their approval of the project.
But if the Rolling Jubilee has led the Occupy alumni of Strike Debt to find themselves with some strange bedfellows, they're okay with that.
"The fact that they're talking about us is in itself a victory," says Suzanne Collado, one of the Strike Debt organizers. "They're participating in the political exercise that we've laid out."
Inside ARM, the trade publication of the debt collection industry, wrote about the Rolling Jubilee, provoking comments from debt collectors ranging from the unimpressed to the opportunistically open-minded.
Organizers say that all the publicity has actually brought a number of debt industry insiders to approach Strike Debt with offers of help. Religious groups are also signing on. For the moment at least, it appears that the Rolling Jubilee is a big tent, an idea whose appeal extends well beyond those with the revolutionary ambitions of Strike Debt.
"It's certainly possible for people to participate in the jubilee without having the same philosophical bent we do," said Smith. "If people are coming at this from other political leanings, that's okay, because it's opening up an important dialogue about debt that we need to be having."
Strike Debt set an initial goal of raising $50,000, which they calculated would allow them to buy and forgive $1 million in debt. Before the telethon even started, they were already already approaching four times that figure.

|10 Problem Sets (4% each)
|35 Active Learning Exercises (must submit 30 total, 0.33% each)
|Midterm Exam (open book, open notes)
|Final Exam (open book, open notes)
Lectures: 3 sessions / week; 1.5 hours / session
None. No programming experience is required. You should be familiar with the use of Microsoft® Windows® and Word®.
Laptop computers are used for class participation in many lectures. A laptop with at least 1GB of memory running Windows 7/8 is needed to run the course software.
For this course, the following software is required:
You can share the texts with your homework partner, so each of you needs to get three texts. Obtain either the Bowman et al. (2003) text or the Syverson (2002) but not both, for the SQL language.
|10 Problem Sets (4% each)
|35 Active Learning Exercises (must submit 30 total, 0.33% each)
|Midterm Exam (open book, open notes)
|Final Exam (open book, open notes)
Problem sets are due at noon; they are submitted electronically on the course Web site.
You will receive one penalty-free extension until the following class day at noon per semester. No extensions beyond that will be granted, unless there are repeated or extended medical or family emergencies. We will generally require a note from the dean. See the instructor if this occurs.
Late homework sets submitted after noon and before noon on the next class day, beyond the one free extension, are penalized 30%. Homework sets submitted after noon on the next class day receive no credit, since solutions are posted then.
We don't give makeup exams. Please make sure you are here for the midterm and final exams. You will be excused from the exams for medical or family emergency reasons only.
You will collaborate with your partner to do the homework sets. You may ask other groups for explanations or help but cannot look at or copy any of their work. Homework in 1.264 is a term-long project, and is designed to be a larger scale activity, in which brainstorming and design is often a key component. We encourage you to work with your partner. We expect, however, that you are involved in all aspects of the project. When you hand in material with your name on it, we assume that you are certifying that this is your work and that you were involved in all aspects of it.
Here is an example scenario of how a good collaboration might work: Both of you sit down and together plan how you're going to design and implement the homework. You work together on one or both of your laptop computers. You check after each step to make sure that you both understand and agree on the approach.
Here is an example of an inappropriate collaboration: You send your partner a copy of your homework so far. He or she works on it to complete the parts you had not finished, and he or she fixes a mistake in another part. This is inappropriate collaboration because you were not both involved in all aspects of the work.
You may work alone or with a partner or in a group for classroom exercises done in lecture. If you do the active learning outside (before) lecture, you must do it alone.
Exams are individual work.

Jules Gluten Free (& allergy friendly) Cookbook: Free for All Cooking
October 31, 2010 by Nancy
Filed under Book Reviews, News
Thanks to Jules and her publisher, DaCapo Press for giving away one of these great new cookbooks to 3 lucky Gluten Freeville Friends. Congratulations Denise Nelson, Vicky Sing and Karen D. Wood for winning our random drawing.
I recently bought Jules Dowler Shepard's new cookbook, "Free for all Cooking: 150 Easy, Gluten-Free, Allergy Friendly Recipes the Whole Family Can Enjoy". In this versatile cookbook, gluten-free cooking expert Jules Shepard offers delicious gluten-free recipes that can also be made free of many major allergen ingredients—dairy, nuts, soy, eggs and more—to fit your unique dietary requirements. While that title is a mouthful, you're in for a treat with all the tasty, gluten free, allergy friendly recipes you'll find within the 236 pages.
When my book arrived from Amazon, I ripped open the box and the book just about fell open to page 195: 5-Minute Chocolate Cake. Within a few short minutes of the book's arrival, I had a wonderful Chocolate Cake in a Mug! Not only delicious, but cute as can be! The chocolate chips melt just enough to make a lava-cake effect, and the cake itself is springy and yummy. This is such a perfect little cake recipe to have on hand for a special after school treat or a drop-in guest. Just imagine how impressed your guest will be when you whisk up a little cake in a mug that cooks in three minutes. It's practically a miracle!
It's that pumpkin time of year, so I couldn't resist trying one of the pumpkin recipes: Pumpkin Cookies. For these were simple to mix up and drop by spoonfuls onto the parchment paper. Again, within a few short minutes, I had some beautiful little cookies. They turned out a bit more like soft little scones than cookies, but they were great. Good enough to share, which I did. I gave some to 3 different families. Two had celiac members and one did not. All of them enjoyed the cookies, whether they were gluten free households or not.
My third test from the book was the Soft Pretzel recipe. These were a bit more complicated to make, but not difficult. Three bowls and an hour later (some time needed for rising), I had six gorgeous, salty, chewy magical soft pretzels. They definitely tasted like the real thing!
This cookbook has a little bit of everything- or should I say a lot of everything:
- Cooking Tips
- Substitutions for ingredients that may be allergens
- Breakfast Foods
- Appetizers and Side Dishes
- Breads and Rolls
- Soups, Main Events
- Desserts (LOTS of desserts!)
The recipes include things like:
- Crusty French Baguette
- Easy Homemade Ravioli
- Southern Biscuits
- Crab Cakes or Veggie "Crab" Cakes
- Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Dairy-Free Cheesecake
- and many more!!
If you haven't discovered Jules' recipes and mixes, you are definitely in for a treat, and if you have, you are in for many treats when you get this book! I can't wait to try more of these great recipes and share them with my friends and neighbors. These are some impressive recipes!
Thanks to Jules and her publisher, DaCapo Press for giving away one of these great new cookbooks to 3 lucky Gluten Freeville Friends. Congratulations Denise Nelson, Vicky Sing and Karen D. Wood for winning our random drawing.
Buy one at this link. or on Amazon.com ($12.89 as of this writing)

SABMiller Samples Some Turkish Delight
Anything spirits giant Diageo can do, Brewer SABMiller can do too.
At the end of February, Diageo's acquisition of Turkey's Mey Içki was not a real surprise, as nascent talks were first reported back in December last year.
But SABMiller's play Wednesday morning for its Turkish adventure was not so well tracked. Still, the rationale is the same and that rationale is compelling—access to booming economies and fast-growing markets.
The London-based global brewing giant, maker of Grolsch, Peroni Nastro Azzuro and Miller Lite, announced a strategic alliance with Turkish peer Anadolu Efes, allowing the two companies to push further into Turkey, Russia, Central Asia and the Middle East.
It is understood that Anadolu Efes was also weighing up striking a partnership with rival Heineken as a platform for reciprocal growth in Russia, but in the end plumped for SABMiller as the advantages fit better with the brewer's ambitions.
Taking a 24% stake in Anadolu Efes, SABMiller will transfer its Russian and Ukrainian beer businesses, with an equity and debt value of $1.9 billion, to the Turkish company in return. The Anadolu Group will control 42.8% of Anadolu Efes's enlarged share capital.
The deal will allow Anadolu Efes to leverage SABMiller's logistical expertise to distribute its portfolio of brands across the region, while SAB can in turn use the Turkish group's dominance in the local markets to grow its international brands.
Anadolu Efes will have an 89% share of the Turkish beer market and occupy a number two market position in value terms in Russia, with a valuable portfolio of brands across key market segments.
Turkey is one of the world's high growth economies with a population of 74 million people, while the company's products overall reach more than 600 million consumers across the region.
It has also leading market positions in the growth beer markets of Kazakhstan, Moldova and Georgia.
As ever, the commercial benefits are key. The companies say the transaction is expected to be earnings per share enhancing for both groups in the first full year following completion, which is expected at the end of the year.

Economic relations
Bilateral trade between France and Romania continued to increase in 2011 (+11%), but with less dynamism than in 2010 (+23%). Accordingly, France dropped one place to the benefit of Hungary and is now Romania's fourth-biggest trading partner.
French exports remained stable at the same rate of growth as 2010. Our trade deficit fell 36.5% in 2011. Approximately one fourth of Romania's exports to France are motor vehicles (Dacia). The sound performance of French exports to Romania is due mainly to industrial demand, which remains strong. They reached the historical record of 2.89 billion euros in 2011, after an increase of 13.2%. French imports of goods and services reached a record level of 3.18b euros after growing continuously over the past decade.
From a surplus situation in 2008, France moved, in 2010, to a trade deficit of 486 million euros, which dropped 38% in 2011 to 287 million euros. France might return to a trade surplus situation with Romania in early 2012.

Thousands of California gays and lesbians identify themselves as married even though the state never awarded them a marriage certificate, declaring on 2010 census forms that they lived with a wife or husband of the same sex.
Newly released U.S. Census Bureau statistics put the number of married same-sex couples in the state at 28,000, well above the 18,000 legally married before the passage of Proposition 8 halted same-sex marriages in 2008.
"Not all same-sex couples who call themselves husband and wife are legally married," said demographer Gary Gates of UCLA's Williams Institute, which has helped advise the Census Bureau. "Nationally, we estimated only about 70 percent are actually legally married. Another 15 percent are in a civil union or other domestic partnerships."
Some couples could have married in other states, such as Massachusetts or Connecticut, where same-sex marriage is still legal, while others might be making a statement that they are "married in our hearts," said Berkeley resident Judy Appel, director of Our Family Coalition, which advocates for gay and lesbian families.
The 2010 census numbers mark the first time the Census Bureau has released information distinguishing between married and unmarried same-sex couples. About 29 percent of California's 98,000 same-sex couples identify themselves as married, according to the Census Bureau. The others identify themselves as unmarried partners.
Appel was surprised by the new numbers. She wedded her partner in 1996, but the two women were not able to obtain a marriage certificate until the California Supreme Court allowed same-sex marriages in the summer of 2008. Proposition 8 banned gay marriage in November that year but did not invalidate the 18,000 marriages that occurred in the six months before voters passed the measure.
"I personally would only put married (on the census forms) after we won that right, but there are really good reasons why people would answer in a lot of different ways," Appel said. "The reason why people get married, or get as close to married as the law will allow us, is because they have a deep love and commitment for each other. Marriage is the way we show that in our society."
The 2010 census actually counted 52,000 married same-sex couples in California, not just 28,000, but government statisticians said Tuesday that the bigger number is erroneous.
The number of same-sex couples counted around the country in the 2010 census was artificially inflated by opposite-sex spouses who misidentified the gender of themselves or their family members by checking the wrong boxes, said Census Bureau statistician Martin O'Connell. Because there are so many more opposite-sex couples than same-sex couples, the mistakes skewed the numbers.
O'Connell said government statisticians have spent months in the summer creating a model that would get a better estimate of the true number of same-sex couples, and on Tuesday downgraded the total number of same-sex couples in the United States from 942,000 to 646,000, and the California number from 126,000 to 98,000.
Gates, the demographer, said he was "pleasantly surprised" the government is working at improving its methodology.
"This is probably the best sort of estimate anybody has ever made," he said. The new numbers may now underestimate the number of same-sex couples but mostly because of gays and lesbians who are not sharing information about their relationships.
"We understand how important it is for all groups to have accurate statistics that reflect who we are as a nation," said Robert Groves, director of the Census Bureau.
The Census Bureau's revised estimates remained confusing to many.
"It makes me have less confidence in the numbers, but I guess the bigger point is we're learning as we go along," Appel said. "The Census Bureau, like so many public agencies, is learning how to count us and see us and include us in the public debate."
