LAS VEGAS — The crowd members at the MGM Grand, site of Saturday night's welterweight clash, cheered as underdog challenger Robert Guerrero weighed in at a trim and ready 147 pounds, the division limit.
There were comparative boos for Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26 knockouts), 36, who by all accounts was never more chisled and ripped than he was on Friday at 146 pounds.
Click ere for the weigh-in video.
There was no visible evidence of slippage after the one-year layoff that included a jail stint from June 1 through Aug. 3, or that Mayweather is "ripe for the pickings" as Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KOs) has indicated.
"Floyd looked ripped. Floyd looked ripped. Boy. Those abs, he didn't have one ounce of fat on him. He looks ready," said Hall of Fame promoter Don Chargin.
"He looked really ready. The only thing is with some fighters, the age of 36 means something. With others, it doesn't. But I guess that we'll see about that tomorrow night."
Mayweather chewed gum intensely during the nearly one-minute post-weigh-in staredown with Guerrero, who seemed to be trying to search for any sign of weakness.
"I was thinking about getting down. That's what I was thinking about," said Guerrero, of what he saw in Mayweather. "I've got to get down. I've got to take full advantage of this."
Mayweather lingered long after Guerrero had left the venue, signing autographs for fans on everything from T-shirts to gloves and posters.
"Floyd looked very, very calm," said Chargin. "Usually, he's very, very feisty. Surprisingly, though, he wasn't today."
Meanwhile, the animosity continued between Floyd Mayweather Sr. and Ruben Guerrero, the fighters' respective trainers and fathers.
Mayweather Sr. gained eye contact with Ruben Guerrero, and then delivered the throat-cutting gesture. Their antics were part of an ongoing feud that has endured throughout the promotion.
Mayweather will earn a purse of $32 million to the $3 million earned by Guerrero, tying Mayweather's boxing record mark he earned with his unanimous decision victory over Miguel Cotto for the WBA's junior middleweight belt last May.
An online report by Forbes' Magazine estimates that the fighter's exclusive multi-fight venture with Showtime and its parent company, CBS Corporation, could be worth a guaranteed $250,000 million to Mayweather, who is making make his first-ever appearance on Showtime Pay Per View against.
According to Forbes, Mayweather netted a total of $45 million against Cotto. In July, Mayweather was named the highest-paid American athlete for 2012, topping Sports Illustrated's Fortunate 50 ahead of golfers Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods at Nos. 2 and 3.
Nicknamed "Money," Mayweather made $85 million for his last two fights, comprised of his fourth-round knockout victory in September of 2011 that dethroned Victor Ortiz as WBC welterweight belholder, and his triumph over Cotto.
Last June, Mayweather topped Forbes' list of its 100 highest paid athletes internationally, trumping second-place boxing rival Manny Pacquiao with $62 million from earnings and endorsements.
Mayweather holds the all-time record of pay-per-view buys with more than 2.5 million for his victory over current Golden Boy President Oscar De La Hoya in May of 2007, dethroning De La Hoya by ther's split-decision for the WBC's junior middleweight belt.
Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe called Guerrero "a dirty fighter."
"From what I've personally observed in the film that I've seen, Robert Guerrero is a very, very dirty fighter. And all that I've said is that, here in Nevada, with Nevada being the best commission in all of boxing, they don't allow those dirty tactics," said Ellerbe.
"The holding with one hand and hitting behind the head. All of the little dirty things that he's gotten away with in his fights, Nevada doesn't play that. Floyd will just go out there and be Floyd, and everybody else will have to adapt. He's just a dirty fighter, and that's my opinion."
But Mayweather said he is unconcerned about Guerrero's perceived roughhouse tactics.
"I'll let the referee do his job. That's not really my focuse. I'm focused on going out there and being a clean fighter and executing the game plan," said Mayweather.
"Nobody can really get under my skin. I'm Floyd Mayweather. When the fight gets here, I'll go out there and do my best. I don't keep up with their family and what they're doing. I just try to focus on me and my family and just stay in my lane."
The Mayweather-Guerrero referee will be Robert Byrd of Las Vegas. The judges are Duane Ford and Jerry Roth — each of whom is from Las Vegas as well as New York-based Julie Lederman.
Guerrero said he is not concerned about fairness among the judges.
Mayweather is expected to wear Grant brand gloves, and Guerrero, Reyes, according to Nevada State Athletic Commission exectutive director Keith Kizer, adding that the fighters have agreed to wear 8-ounces gloves.
Elvis Grant, proprietor of Mayweather's gloves, told RingTV.com that Ellerbe advised him that it was Mayweather who requested the gloves at that size.
Rising two-division titlewinner Abner Mares (25-0-1, 13 KOs) and hard-punching WBC featherweight titleholder Daniel Ponce de Leon (44-4, 35 KOs) will each make $375,000 for their co-main event, for which each of them weighed 126 pounds.
Also, junior featherweights Leo Santa Cruz (23-0-1, 13 KOs) and Venezuela's Alexander Munoz (36-4, 28 KOs) were 122 and 121, respectively.
Mayweather will unveil five of his fighters on the undercard, including middleweight J'Leon Love (15-0, 8 KOs), a 25-year-old Michigan native now living in Las Vegas, who will face former junior middleweight Gabriel Rosado (21-6, 13 KOs), of Philadelphia.
Love and Rosado each made the division limit 160 after initially being over. Rosado removed his socks after being 160.5, and Love returned after nearly an hour after having been 161.5.
Love is coming off February's unanimous decision over Chicago's Derek Findley, while Rosado suffered January's bloody seventh-round stoppage loss to Kazakhstan-born WBA middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin.
For their super middleweight bouts, Ronald Gavril (3-0, 2 KOs) and Robert Yong weighed 168 and 166, Luis Arias (4-0, 3 KOs) and DonYil Livingston (8-2-1, 4 KOs) were at 165 and 164, and Lanell Bellows (3-0-1, 3 KOs) and Matthew Garretson (2-0, 1 KO) weighed 169 each.
Also, lightweights Badou Jack (13-0, 9 KOs) and Michael Gbenga (13-7, 13 KOs) each were at 170 pounds.

Checklists for Powerful, Efficient Legal Writing
Jennifer Murphy Romig
Emory University School of Law
December 2011
Georgia Bar Journal, Volume 17, Number 4
Emory Legal Studies Research Paper No. 12-225
Lawyers may wish for their writing to be more powerful and efficient, but not know what to change or how to implement changes. One solution that speaks to each phase of the writing process and every writing situation is this: a checklist. Actually, the solution is not just one single checklist, but the method of using checklists throughout the writing process as well as in broader conversations about effective legal writing.
Inspired by Atul Gawande's The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right (2009), this column in the Georgia Bar Journal reviews the types of checklists lawyers may use to improve their writing process and their written work product. It provides short sample checklists and encourages lawyers to critically assess their own writing strengths and weaknesses and construct personalized writing checklists for better legal writing.

May 16 at 7:28 PM We spent three weeks at your condo and everything was excellent. We were happy to celebrate our 53rd wedding anniversary there. The people who looked after our service were excellent. The only criticism we had was the smell of smoke at times in the entrance to the gate. Nevertheless that was very minor in the overall scheme of things and we are already booking there for next year. Regards Bill & Marie King 31 Covington Blue Crescent Wasaga Beach, Ontario L9Z 0E4

Spring break 2013

The unit & facilities is accurately described. The condo was nicely decorated & spacious for a 1 bedroom. We used the pull out couch for our teens. The kitchen was really well equipped. One of the closets contained numerous extras-beach chairs, a cooler, several paperbacks, a kite, beach toys. Unfortunately, the weather didnt cooperate, so we spent little time at he beach, but it is a very pretty beach & is quite close. We were able to enjoy a nice walk one day. The pool is on the small side & their seemed to be little room for my family of 4- the seats in the sun were quickly taken by other guests. The management company was responsive & accommodating. We also managed to hit a spring training game, a visit to Universal Studios & the Kennedy Space Center. All places were a little farther than described, but no big deal.

We stayed at Waves unit 6, it was a one bedroom condo,very nice.The pool area was nice and big.Waves is close to beach within walking distance to many resturants. I also had its own washer and dryer which was a big plus. The unit was fairly priced for that time of year.We were happy there and would recmend anyone to stay there.

Waves #14
October 5, 2012
My husband and I rented #14 at the Waves on St. Pete Beach, we had a great time. My sister got married at the Grand Plaza just a few blocks up the street and we decided to make it a whole weeks vacation. End of September seems like a great time to go, the rate was very reasonable and the beach wasn't crowded at all. The condo was perfect. It was great size for the two of us, provided what we needed and was really clean. We liked that it was gated and we had a designated parking spot. It's just two streets over from the beach, the walk isn't bad at all. The owner of the unit had chairs and beach things in the condo to use, which made it really convenient and more enjoyable when we went to hang on the beach. We had a problem with bugs in the coffee maker the first morning we were there, but we called the rental company and everything was taken care of that day and everyone we spoke to was really helpful. We had a great experience and will definitely look into renting again if we go back.

Location: Insect Behavior and Biocontrol Research Unit
Project Number: 6036-22000-031-04
Start Date: Dec 11, 2012
End Date: Dec 31, 2016
We will evaluate alternative management strategies such as plant and horticultural petroleum oils, repellent plants, biorational chemicals, entomopathogens, and other methods to control invasive pests such as whiteflies and lepidopteran pests in horticultural and forest systems. Effects of these chemicals, biopesticides, entomopathogens and oils will be tested on non target insects such as beneficial predators and parasitoids. Laboratory experiments will involve use of the Potter Spray Tower to test various chemicals and different rates against the pest and natural enemies. Olfactometer studies will allow studies on repellency of oils and plants against whiteflies and lepidopteran pests. Greenhouse and field experiments will be conducted to determine the effect of habitat manipulation, companion crops and refuge planting as part of "push-pull strategies" to control invasive pests while attracting beneficial natural enemies. Two or more graduate students from UFV will work in USDA-ARS and at the Center for Biological Control at FAMU as visiting research scholar students for a certain period. Research conducted at USDA-ARS may be part of the graduate student's thesis at UFV in Brazil. Scientific information will be exchanged between scientists, students, and faculty at USDA, UFV, and FAMU through seminars, workshops, and outreach activities.

Mallory Peebles
Reporter and Fill-in Anchor
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Mallory Peebles joined the Channel Two News team in August 2012 and is thrilled to be "taking on the Last Frontier." Having never stepped foot in Alaska prior to her KTUU arrival, she's looking forward to every opportunity in which she can explore what she is already referring to as "our beautiful state."
Mallory began her television career at KEYC-TV in Southern Minnesota. She was a Reporter in Mankato for over a year before being promoted to Weekend Anchor at KEYC. Mallory covered everything from crime and court cases to severe weather and the agriculture beat in Minnesota. One of Mallory's favorite coverage topics was Natural Resources and the great outdoors, and she very much looks forward to continuing that beat in the Great State of Alaska.
Although Mallory enjoys colder weather, she grew up in the Golden State of California. A self-professed "surfer girl" from the San Francisco Bay area, she's always led an active lifestyle. A deep well of enthusiasm is one of Mallory's best personality traits and one she often puts to use in her journalism career as she tackles the challenges that accompany tough assignments. After all, enthusiasm comes naturally to Mallory, evidenced by her role as a cheerleader beginning at the age of 6 and continuing throughout her college years at California State University Stanislaus. There, she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies and a Minor in Journalism.
Mallory got her first start in television through an internship at KTVU (another well-known "Channel 2 News") in Oakland, CA. She grew up watching KTVU and attributes her chosen career path to the days she spent watching the talented KTVU staff, eventually being personally mentored by many of those same TV journalists.
During her free time, Mallory enjoys shooting bow with her fiancee and hanging out with her cat, "Bennett."
Mallory loves the challenge of finding compelling stories in her own community, and she looks forward to hearing from Channel Two viewers if you have any story ideas you'd like to share.

What do Pamela Anderson, Big Ben, Airbus A380 and Godzilla have in common?
All the above made the news for being BIG about something! Human beings in particular the 'competitive' (some say kiasu) Malaysians love big stuff. We built big things, we drive big cars, we want to live in a big house and a job with a big fat pay cheque every month! Realizing this fact American fast food joint, Carl's Jr. focuses on the size factor in making a re-entry to Malaysian fast food industry.
Carl's Jr. was once upon a time an established fast-food chain in KL known for its famous outlet in the KL Bird Park. The joint used to be competing directly with more well known chains such as McDonald's, KFC and A&W. After exiting Malaysian, market not less than 10 years ago, Carl's Jr. made a re-entry, this time with a new image of "SIZE DOES MATTER!�?
My search for the best fast-food burger in Malaysia begins with a trip to One Utama Shopping Center; in particular the Carl's Jr. outlet.
Joining me for this inaugural "Adik Beradik Best Burger Hunt�? is my partner-in-crime brother with his Alpha 700 DSLR Camera (you can see his review here), younger sister and sister in-law and my 'big-eater' nephew
Let the review
wallap-ing begins!
First stop, menu. Carl's Jr. offers wide range of burger selections. From charbroiled to fish burgers, all are prepared fresh once you place your order.
Making a choice can be tricky for first timers. As for me, I simply want to taste the high-end burger in the menu so I went for the second most-expensive burger which is the Portobello Mushroom Burger. In burger world, more expensive means bigger and better food so I gave it a shot.
Queuing is easy enough as you only have to place order & pay and the food will be delivered to your table. The only thing is Malaysians tend to spend some time browsing the unfamiliar menu making the queue a bit long at certain times.
Waiting time was not too bad. Considering the burgers are freshly made, we waited for about 15 minutes before all the food arrived.
Every mili-seconds of waiting for the burger and unwrapping the burger wrap, my mind kept imagining the juiciness and crispness of the burger shown on the menu, wow yummy, I was 110% excited and super hungry.
Few seconds later, I was brought back to reality. My expectation of a nicely prepared and juicy thick burger crashed within seconds. I was served Portobello Mushroom burger "Sumbat style�?. Every ingredient seems to be stuffed in between and hastily wrapped hence the poor appearance.
Really "Indah Khabar dari Rupa�?
Same goes for my brother's Famous Star with Cheese. Average appearance and packaging. They could have at least invested some money on real paper box pack for packaging of the burgers.
Let's face it, a guy always go for look first before taste when it comes to
woman food.
However, things start to look good the moment I had my first bite. I felt in love with the burger immediately. It seems like the recipe is just right and flavor of the mushroom, meat, fresh green lettuce and onions can be felt on every bite. Yummy!
Similarly the Famous Star with Cheese burger is quite tasty. The beef burger used is really good quality and has a unique taste that draws closer towards 'home-made' burgers. Close your eyes and have a few bites and you will forgot that you are in a fast food joint.
Besides burger, they serve bottomless drinks (soft drinks and ice lemon tea) and other side menus. Chili Beef Fries is not too bad For weight and health conscious people, there's not much information on calories of the burgers but you can stick to salad or simply stay away from this place!
Ambience is quite good. Due to the pricing, you would not see people with laptops or group of students and youngsters lepaking while enjoying their burgers and making lots of noise. Carl's Jr has a quite nice interior decorations with wallpaper and furniture that bring the mood of a typical burger joint in the US. It is so relaxing that one can take a short nap after 'wallap-ing' a burger
Unfortunately, in life, good things come with a high price. Same goes with Carl's Jr burgers. The cheapest burger is at RM7.95+ and top it with a drink and fries it's RM12.45 as the cheapest burger combo set. In order words, stay away if you only have RM10 in the pocket. I strongly believe it should not be this expensive. I cannot register in my mind the fact that a burger can cost me RM18. Not when I can get a similar burger from a real restauraunt like TGI Fridays for about the same price.
Carl's Jr. is so expensive that customer can pay using credit card. (sigh~!!)
To be fair, Carl's Jr's main strength is the taste and freshness of the burger itself. Every bite is being cherished and the ambience makes it even better. The only drawback is the price. I believe Carl's Jr will be a main contender for "Adik Beradik Best Burger Challenge�? top spot simply for its taste.
How about the size? Are the burgers really that big? No. It's slightly bigger than normal fast food burgers, but it's not
"Pamela Anderson�? kind of big, but Asians love Asian size. Yes, I'm talking about burgers.
Overall Review:
Menu: 4 out of 5
Apperance/Packaging: 2 out of 5
Taste: 5 out of 5
Ambience: 5 out of 5
Price: 1 out of 5
Overall 3.5 out of 5
Tummy Thumbs up!
Coming soon: Leg 2 of the challenge. The search continues….

This draft needs to be re-titled to "routing protocol filtering and policy control." It is not talking about Control Plane security. That document would be 50% about protocols and 50% about the queuing and compartmentization requirements to keep a control plane from being disrupted by data plane activities.
I don't necessarily disagree. There may be another approach to stratifying a diffuse control plane.
Routing control and forwarding is, at the SP level, near-real-time to real-time and is likely to be hardware-assisted. Vulnerabilities here can be flooding, spoofing, and other mechanisms that interfere with packet delivery to control processors or ASICs.
Path determination and signaling may be at the order of seconds or below, and is most likely to be in reasonably general-purpose processes in the router. In this area, the vulnerabilities are apt to be in protocols or mechanisms (e.g., the various BGP security approaches) to validate the content of protocol messages.
Management, including IDS/statistical/flow alerts/alarms, response such as automatic blackholing and sinkholing, and general configuration, often needs statistical baselines of some length, and will operate in much longer time granules. A substantial amount of such servers can live on more general-purpose servers than routers, and be vulnerable to server-oriented attacks.

|Electrical Test Structure for Overlay Metrology Referenced to Absolute Length Standards
|May 01, 1994
|This test structure is based on the voltage-dividing potentiometer principle and was originally replicated in a single lithography cycle to evaluate feature placement by a primary pattern generator. A new test structure has now been developed from the single-cycle version and has been used for measuring the overlay of features defined by two different exposures with a stepping projection aligner. The as-measured overlay values are processed by an algorithm that minimizes the effects of nominal random pattern imperfections. The algorithm further partitions measurements of overlay into contributions that derive, respectively, from misregistration of the image fields projected by the two masks and from the drawn misplacement of features on the masks. The numerical estimates of these contributions so obtained from the electrical measurements were compared with those extracted from the same features by the NIST line scale interferometer, providing traceability to absolute length standards. The two sets of measurements were found to agree to within the several-nanometer uncertainty cited for the line scale interferometer's readings alone.

What's the Tory pitch? Anyone know?
With the latest poll putting Labour only seven points behind the Tories, what are the Cameroon Conservatives who hope to govern in around 100 days time saying to the country they aspire to lead? As an observer it is genuinely difficult to work out any coherent, clear message or figure out what their strategy is.
Take the deficit and the weird Tory gyrations of the last few days. For a while they were emphasizing deficit cutting ("I'll cut the deficit, not the NHS", as that not very effective poster of a few weeks ago put it) but now there seems to be a shift going on. David Cameron told an audience at Davos that cuts in year one of a potential Tory government need not be "particularly excessive". They look like they fear the blame for a potential double-dip recession later this year and appear to have become, once again, believers in old-fashioned demand management.
As ever, their message after such an intervention is that it's really no shift at all and in line with their previous statements. So they try to shift position whilst saying that they are not. The impression is of confusion at best, and chaos at worst.
But it's more than that. I'll write later, in my agenda column for the paper, on how Britain looks to be heading for a hung parliament. For now, here are a few observations of the battlefield.
1) The Tories have become so fixated on being vaguely positive in their campaigning – the approach advised by Cameron's marketing guru Steve Hilton – that they have almost no attack capacity. For example, Gordon Brown suddenly realizes, after years in power and just when Labour might lose following three victories in a row, that he wants to change the voting system. From the Tories in response there is what? Virtual silence, or comments so weak as to not command any hearing with the public.
2) The Tories seem to fear simple, strong messages. It is widely agreed – by Labour and Tory people that I speak to – that the concept of "five more years of Gordon Brown" is potentially a serious campaigning challenge for Labour. Labour is delighted that the Tories, thinking they are too clever to go for the jugular, never mention the prospect.
3) The Tories have no properly developed negative case, but they don't have a clearly defined positive case either. Or if they do, I haven't met anyone recently who knows what it is.
4) Are the rest of the shadow cabinet still alive?
5) Does the Tory party actually have an ad agency? If so, the Tories should ask for a refund after the "Darling, we can't go on like this" poster of Cameron a few weeks ago. Moving forward, as they say in adland, how do the Tories plan to get better posters? I bet you Labour's will be quite good.
Senior Labour people, Mandelson particularly, sense all of these multiple weaknesses in the Tory position. It is fascinating to watch them pour heavy fire into the gaps.

Self-help guru Chopra accepted Boteach's invitation to meet for an evening of "East Meets West" to discuss what Gary Rosenblatt, the publisher of the Jewish Week, which co-sponsored the event, described as "concepts important to all of us seeking meaning in our lives." Chopra discussed a mystical tradition that he said is shared by Hindus and Jews.
Calling himself a "Hinjew," the black-clad Chopra drew conceptual and linguistic parallels between Jewish biblical and mystical traditions and the Vedanta, philosophy based on the Hindu sacred text.
One theme common to Vedanta and Kabbalah, Chopra said, is an awareness of different realms of reality -- physical, intellectual/emotional and spiritual -- and the concept of an eternal domain of infinite power, known to Jewish mystics as the Ein Sof.
He even noted an etymological parallel between Brahma, the creator of the cosmos in Hinduism, and the Jewish patriarch Abraham.
Boteach started his energetic oratory by discussing the human quest for happiness, which he described as a state of "having external deeds match internal convictions."
Philosophy, he said, often divides the world into opposites: dark and light, form and substance, yin and yang. Mysticism sees a unifying source behind all being.
Both speakers were received enthusiastically by the multireligious audience of hip, leather-clad young adults and polished Upper East Side matrons, couples and singles. --By Julia Goldman, JTA
When It's 40 to Love,
The Whole World is Jewish
Hard on the heels of the blockbuster news that Pete Sampras, the world's top-ranked tennis player, is... uh... sort of Jewish, comes the revelation that German tennis great Boris Becker is the son of a Jewish mother.
Becker, a three-times Wimbledon champion, told Inside Tennis magazine that his mother, born Elvira Pisch in Czechoslovakia, had "slept in a tent for years" in a postwar displaced persons camp in Germany.
As reported in the London-based Jewish Chronicle, Becker said that "I have from my mother's side a Jewish background, from my father's side a very Catholic background... so, therefore, I'm a little bit of everything. That's probably why I am more open-minded than most people."
Becker lives with his African-American wife, Barbara, in Munich with their 5-year-old son, Noah Gabriel.
According to the interview, Pisch fled her German-occupied hometown when Soviet troops advanced on Czechoslovakia. It does not explain how she survived during the war under Nazi rule.
Earlier, the Jewish Chronicle ran an interview with Sampras, in which the American ace revealed that "Not too many people know that I'm Jewish."
The claim might not pass halachic inspection, but Sampras said that his father, Sherwin, also known as Sam, was Jewish. Sam, in turn, had a Jewish mother but a Greek father, hence the family name Sampras.
At his parents' behest, said Sampras, "I was raised as a Greek Orthodox and I went to a Greek Orthodox church." He added that he had never been inside a synagogue. -- Tom Tugend, Contributing Editor
Happy Hana-Jah
A musicologist and Fulbright scholar named Alan Eder drew together a dozen or so talented friends -- Israeli singers with enchanting voices, Rastafarian drummers, West African dancers and a couple of cantors -- and put them in a recording studio in Valencia.
The result: "Reggae Chanukah," one of the finest Chanukah albums in recent memory. The new and reinvented traditional songs blend ska, reggae, samba, Hebrew folk and liturgical music with spoken word and rock in a wonderfully upbeat and spiritual style. If Eder's "Reggae Passover" of two years ago was a sort of experiment, Reggae Chanukah is the proof that the preeminent musical style of the Carribean can enliven and intensify the Jewish experience.
From the opening track, "Be All That You Can Be (Join the Maccabee Army)" to the final drum-laden groove, the music gets children and adults moving. Our advice: fire up a latke, crack open a Red Stripe, and hit it. We can't imagine what kind of magic was taking place in that Valencia recording studio, but we're sure, as the singer says, "A great miracle happened there, mon."
You can find "Reggae Chanukah" in some local music stores, on the web at www.reggaechanukah.com, or by calling (661) 297-0374. --Robert Eshman, Managing Editor
Once is Not Enough
Actor Kirk Douglas will celebrate his second bar mitzvah Dec. 9, on his 83rd birthday.
According to tradition, man's allotted lifespan is 70 years, so in his "second life" Douglas's bar mitzvah would be due 13 years later.
Douglas is currently traveling abroad, but his spokeswoman, Marcia Neuberger, said that the ceremony will be held in Los Angeles. Although he has been studying for many years with Orthodox Rabbi Nahum Braverman of Aish HaTorah, Braverman said he is not slated to officiate.
The actor, born Issur Danielovitch, the son of illiterate Russian-Jewish immigrants, celebrated his first bar mitzvah at the Sons of Israel synagogue in his home town of Amsterdam, in upstate New York.
He so impressed the congregation that it offered to subsidize him if he would enter a yeshiva and become a rabbi. He informed his would-be benefactors that he planned to become an actor.
In the following decades, as his star rose in Hollywood, Douglas married twice, both times to non-Jewish women, and generally ignored his faith.
A near brush with death in a 1991 helicopter crash revived his interest in Judaism and he embarked on a course of Torah studies.
Though still suffering from spinal injuries sustained during the plane crash, and his speech slowed by a stroke, Douglas has set out on a successful writing career. His output includes two well-received autobiographies, and, most recently, "The Broken Mirror," a Holocaust-themed story for children.
Due next month is another youth-oriented book, "Young Heroes of the Bible." To be released at the end of the year is a new movie, his 83rd, titled "Diamond," which explores the relationship between a grandfather, his son and his grandson.
Douglas has some post-bar mitzvah plans. In an interview with this reporter two years ago, he mused that he had few friends outside his family.
"That sometimes depresses me," he said. "People will ask, 'who is your best friend?' and I have to think. Somehow, I have been a loner all my life... I have friends, but my wife says I don't nourish them, and she is very right. After my second bar mitzvah, I will address myself to that problem." -- Tom Tugend, Contributing Editor

Zotac GTX680 AMP! Edition Review
Up Close
Published: 8th May 2012 | Source: Zotac | Price: |
Up Close
The packaging leaves no doubt as to which version of the card you're picking up. The AMP! is writ large and proud, dominating the front of the box, which is resplendent in the usual Zotac black and yellow.
Opening up the box we find the card safely contained in some high density foam. For the accessories it's all fairly standard stuff with adaptors and things, although the inclusion of the Assassin's Creed titles will guarantee a lot of gaming excitement even if it's your first ever GPU and makes a nice change from Dirt 3.
And here she is, positively bristling with vents and heatpipes. Whereas the reference design cooler is a single fan, two-slot affair, this is much larger with two fans, multiple heatpipes and it's two and a half slots wide. Worth noting for those of you thinking of going SLI with a smaller motherboard size.
We considered the GTX680 to be one of the finest reference coolers in a long time, but there is no denying the eye-catching splendour of the AMP!. Swathes of chrome and copper wherever you look. Hopefully the performance will be worth the audaciousness of the Zotac design.
Other than the cooler with it's huge fans and heatpipes spilling out the sides, things are normal at both input and output ends. It still only uses two 6pin PCIe power inputs, and still has the same display output options of the standard card.

Love the look of this Zotac card... one of the sexier looking GPUs I've seen so far this round.Quote
I like the heat pipes and the orange fans on this card, performance ain't to shabby either.Quote
Still can't wrap my head around some of the stock, stock oc, AMD and NVIDIA, amp, amp oc results tho. The comparisons just don't make sense.Quote
Cheery Oh Tom.Quote
Maybe with silver heatpipes... Looks a lot like a ghetto mod to me. But the temps are nice Nice review.Quote
Just read a review on another site and they said it's going to be about £300, which is confusing, but true. Thats around £100 cheaper than the 680 yet it's a faster card
£320 from Aria

Head coach Gregg Holifield said that the loss of three good players last season, Matt Ritch, Sherwin Jones and Brandon Washington, takes away three solid perimeter scorers as the three made 76 of the Bulldogs' 103 3-pointers last season.
"We do have a lot of work to do," said Holifield. "I think we're quick, I think we'll be able to guard, rebound and defend, but we don't shoot the ball very well. We've got to be more patient offensively and get the ball where it's supposed to be."
Holifield said that sophomore Darryl Howard will get some playing time on varsity this season and said that Jackson has improved from last year.
"We have a good nucleus back," he said. "We did lose some good players but hopefully we'll be able to make some adjustments and get the job done."
As for his returning all-stater, Porter, Holifield said that he's improved over the offseason as well.
"Michael's (Porter) improved and he's worked hard," said Holifield. "He's gotten much better and he's doing an excellent job leading the team."
Once again, the Bulldogs will play host to the SEMO Conference Tournament where they took third place over the Notre Dame Bulldogs by a final score of 78-45 in 2007. Also, the Bulldogs will travel to Poplar Bluff for the Showdown, set to take place Dec. 29-31. The championship game of that tourney is on New Year's Eve. Last season the Bulldogs placed fifth out of eight teams in the tourney as they compiled a 2-1 record over three days of action.
The district tournament has also moved back to the Sikeston Field House after spending last season at Perryville.
"We're looking forward to that," said Holifield of playing district host. "It's always good to play at home. I know our players will be excited about it, but it's a very difficult district as we've found out the last three or four years. So, whoever is playing well at that time has a shot to win it."
When asked about the comparison of area teams as far as what they have returning, Holifield said that he would like to think that Sikeston has an advantage, but stated that other clubs won't back down either.
"I think we do have some good experience coming back, especially with Michael (Porter) back," he said. "You would like to think so, but I think Notre Dame is going to be darn good again so we'll have to see what happens."
The Bulldogs kickoff the season Saturday at 6:15 p.m. in Cape Girardeau at the Show-Me Center in the Pepsi Showcase.
"We're ready to get started," said Holifield. "We've got a tough schedule with Lafayette right off the bat. They should be as good as anybody in the state. Then, we go to Blytheville and they're always very tough, especially down there. So, we better be ready to play because our schedule is tough and there are no easy ones."

Hi everyone, this is a game between me and my friend. I am white and I'd appreciate it if you could give me some constructive criticism.
Seems from a quick look you played a lot of tempo wasting moves which didn't really help your position and your opponent blundered his way into the loss. Don't really have the time right now to look properly, nor am I probably a good enough player to see everything.
29.Rd1 .. Too late move .. I think you are nice and carefull player .. Go on man .
Thanks for the comments.
@ Scottrf - Which moves wasted a tempo?
e3 then e4. Nc3 allows you to play e4 straight away or you could play it move 2. a3 to stop the knight when I'm not sure you need to. Moving your c knight 3 times just to trade looks like a waste to me. Not that you played badly, I just think there will be moves to improve your position more. Also, you gave away the bishop pair for no real compensation.
This opening I played is called the Zukertort variation of the Colle System and apparently playing e3 than e4 after I've developed a bit further is the way to go. I understand what you mean by moving my knight 3 times but I wanted to trade so I could kick his knight off f6 and form an attack from there. Also, how did I give up my bishop pair? I traded my white bishop for his knight to open a hole in his king side.
Once again thanks so much for your feedback, it's much appreciated.
Yeah probably ignore me.
White showed genius in this game,but probably lost some tempos.
@ GM_Hiceberg - Thanks a lot for the comment.
More feedback would definetly be appreciated.
I think that after eXd the positional advantage of white decreases.Best is in my opinion h3 and after Nh6 white should get a good position with Qe2.
My new board is here!

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Trash-talking between usually effusive two-division titlewinners Zab Judah and Paulie Malignaggi had been at a minimum prior to Wednesday's final press conference, where the welterweight Brooklyn natives turned up the heat in advance of Saturday's clash at Barclays Center.
"First and foremost, I want to thank Paulie Malignaggi and Team Malignaggi for taking this opportunity… First of all, you guys, welcome to my office," said Judah, who turned 36 in October, referring to Barclays Center.
"This is my office. They built this building for me. There are two Zabs, in case you didn't know. There are two of us. I've brought back the guy from before. On Saturday night, I'm bringing that old, vicious, young Zab back. This is a special opportunity for me."
Before signing with Golden Boy in August, Judah (42-8, 29 knockouts) had appeared to restore the "Super" in his career with his past two performances. Judah scored a ninth-round TKO previously unbeaten Vernon Paris in March of 2012 before rising from an eighth-round knockdown against Danny Garcia this past April during a close unanimous decision to RING, WBA and WBC 140-pound champion at Barclays Center.
Judah's other losses were to Joshua Clottey, Kostya Tszyu, Miguel Cotto, Carlos Baldomir, Cory Spinks and Floyd Mayweather Jr., with all but the ones against Khan and Tszyu taking place in the welterweight division.
The winner of Judah-Malignaggi will be awarded an official, first-ever City Championship of Brooklyn belt.
"This really has nothing to do with my man, Paulie, it's just the opportunity of crowning yourself the king of your city," said Judah. "My mind frame is like the old Roman days, and everybody knows that back in the old, Roman days, there was only one king. One king, and that's it, and I'm taking it back to that."
A 33-year-old, Malignaggi (32-5, 7 KOs) was last in the ring for June's split-decision WBA welterweight title loss to Adrien Broner, which marked Malignaggi's second straight appearance at Barclays Center.
Malignaggi had won the belt in April of 2012 with a ninth-round stoppage of previously unbeaten Vyacheslav Senchenko on Ukrainian soil, representing Malignaggi's fifth straight victory as a welterweight during a run that had included two knockout wins.
Before falling to Broner, Malignaggi had earned a split-decision victory over Mexico City's Pablo Cesar Cano at Barclays Center in October of 2012.
"Camp has been hard, and I'm very motivated. There's a lot of motivation even without a world championship being on the line. Obviously, there's a lot of pride here, like Zab was saying. There's only one king, also, this is an opportunity that beating Zab Judah bring to the table. He's a multiple-time world champion, and beating Zab Judah leads to a world title, I have no doubt about it. So the rewards of winning a fight like this is motivation in and of itself. It reminds me of those gladiators days," said Malignaggi, who is nicknamed, "The Magic Man."
"Back in the Roman times, you never knew who you fought, but you fought to the death. Sometimes, you probably did have to fight your friend, and it was either him or you. Like Zab said, it's not personal for him, and it's not personal for me, either, but it's me or him. Somebody has to win, and somebody has to lose on Saturday night. I've prepared very well. Once the bell rings, you have to be a different person. I know that I'm a different person when the bell rings. At the end of the day, when the bell rings, even if my mother is across the ring from me, I'll punch her right in the mouth. So that's just the mentality we have as fighters. So on Saturday night, yeah, there's only going to be one king, and I plan on that being me."
The Judah-Malignaggi undercard will include southpaw Devon Alexander (25-1, 14 KOs) defending his IBF welterweight title against Shawn Porter (22-0-1, 14 KOs).
In addition, junior middleweights Austin Trout (26-1, 14 KOs) and Erislandy Lara (18-1-2, 12 KOs) will meet in a clash of left-handers, and WBC super middleweight titleholder Sakio Bika (32-5-2, 21 KOs) will defend against Anthony Dirrell (26-0, 22 KOs).
"I was blown away by being the main event on such a special card, top to bottom, that Showtime has put on. When I got word that me and Zab would be the main event, and I saw the co-features that are on the televised card, I was amazed that they made me and Zab the main event with all of the great fighters on the show," said Malignaggi.
"It humbles me and it blows me away that I'm still fighting amongst these top level athletes, and a lot of them younger than me, after all of these years. Me and Zab had had a lot of longevity over our careers. I've been a pro for 12 years, he's been a pro for 18 years, so the fact that we're still at this level speaks volumes about our skills, determination and our ring savvy."
Porter is coming off September's unanimous decision over ex-beltholder Julio Diaz that made up for the draw they had in December of 2012. In between, Diaz dropped Amir Khan in the fourth round of a unanimous decision loss in April.
"It's Showtime. What time is it? Showtime Shawn Porter is in the building. I'm 22-0, and I'm about to get my first world title. I'm ready to do it. I've worked extremely hard in this camp," said Porter, who a 26-year-old who is trained by his father, Kenny Porter.
"I'm taking nothing from Devon Alexander, except his belt. I know what he's got to bring, and I'm ready for it. He's bringing the belt for me and he's bringing some speed and a little bit of this and a little bit of that. But we're going to handle it, and I'm going home with that belt."
Alexander dethroned hard-hitting Randall Bailey for the IBF belt at Barclays Center in October of last year before scoring a seventh-round knockout over Lee Purdy in May.
The victory over Purdy represented Alexander's fourth straight victory since falling to current WBO 147-pound beltholder Tim Bradley by 10th-round technical decision in January of 2011.
"I want to thank Barclays for letting me come into your building and allowing me to display my talents again," said Alexander, who soundly defeated Porter when they were young amateurs not yet in their teens.
"As far as the fight, Shawn, I've already beaten you. So it ain't going to be no different on Saturday night. Showtime? What does Showtime mean? It's time to go. I'm ready. I'm 120 percent focused. Shawn is a solid fighter and he's stepped up to the plate."
Alexander owns stoppage wins over former titleholders Juan Urango and Junior Witter, route-going wins over ex-beltholders Andriy Kotelnik and DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley, and impressive decisions over hard-punching Argentines Lucas Matthysse and Marcos Maidana by split- and unanimous decision, respectively.
Alexander had hoped to land a bout with Khan, who instead may be in line to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May.
"You guys know that I was supposed to fight somebody else, but Shawn stepped up to the plate. Now, I'm going to take care of him," said Alexander. "I'm going to continue to win, and I'm going to continue to prove to people that I'm an elite fighter and I deserve to be at the top. So, come Saturday night, my winning ways will continue."
Trout unanimously decisioned Miguel Cotto for a career-defining victory on Dec. 1 of last year at New York's Madison Square Garden in front of family members, one of whom was his grandmother, Ann Johnson, who passed away in May.
While Trout has dedicated Saturday's clash to Johnson, he also welcomes relatives such as great grandmother, Dorothy Johnson, who celebrated her 88th birthday the day Trout ended Cotto's unbeaten mark at The Garden at 7-0. Many of those related to Trout are from New York.
"I'm happy to be here. Happy to bring it back to Brooklyn. A lot of people don't know that my mother, my grandmother, they were both born and raised here. My grandfather is from here. New York is in my blood," said Trout, who is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Canelo Alvarez in April.
"Over a year ago, I came back to New York and retained my title against Miguel Cotto, and I'm looking to regain my title because I feel like that's my belt. I lost to Canelo, but I feel like that has made me a stronger, and better fighter and a stronger man. You are going to see the re-invention of Austin Trout on Saturday night."
Lara rose from knockdowns in the fourth and ninth rounds of his last bout to score a 10th-round stoppage of Alfredo Angulo in June, which had followed a disputed draw with Vanes Martirosyan in November of 2012.
Although he had engaged in a pre-fight war of words with Trout, Lara had little to say on Wednesday.
"The talk is over now," said Lara. "On Saturday, we're going to find out who has got the bigger heart."
In May of last year, Dirrell suffered a broken leg during a motorcycle accident, this, after having been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma shortly after he stopped James Hopkins in December 2006.
"Come Saturday, it's destiny," said Dirrell, 29, who did return to the ring until October 2008, when he decisioned Andy Mavros over four rounds.
"I've been through a lot. Cancer in 2006. Overcame that. Motorcycle accident. Broke my leg and my hand. Overcame that. So, Sakio Bika can't overcome me."
In his last fight in June at Barclays, Bika majority decisioned Mexico's previously unbeaten Marco Antonio Periban for his current belt at Barclays Center.
Bika-Periban was for the WBC belt formerly held by RING and WBA champion Andre Ward, had followed February's unanimous decision over previously undefeated Nikola Sjekloca, and represented his fourth straight win during a run that includes two stoppages since falling by unanimous decision to Ward in November of 2010.
"He looks for the knockout, but doesn't get it every time," said Dirrell, of Bika. "But this time, it's going to be me who is looking for the knockout."
Bika, nevertheless, questioned Dirrell's resolve.
"He says that he can do it, he says that he can beat me, but I don't think that he has the balls to do it."
In other bouts, Brooklyn welterweight Sadam "World Kid" Ali (17-0, 10 KOs) will fight Mexico's Jesus Selig (16-1-1, 10 KOs), and light heavyweight and 2012 U.S. Olympian Marcus Browne (7-0, 6 KOs) takes on Kevin Engel (20-8, 16 KOs).
In his last fight in September at Barclays, Ali rose from a first-round knockdown and then floored rival Jay Krupp in both the third and final stanzas of an eight-round unanimous decision victory.
Browne was also at Barclays on the Ali-Krupp card, going the distance for the first time in eight-round unanimous decision over Lamont Williams.

OAKLAND — The A's got a mixed report on right-handed starting pitcher Jarrod Parker Sunday morning. It could have been better, but it could have been much worse.
Parker, who limped out of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals in the fourth inning after having suffered either a cramp in his right hamstring or a right hamstring strain, said he was still feeling some pain in his leg Sunday.
"It's probably typical that there's some soreness the next day,'' manager Bob Melvin said. ``But he's a little better. We'll have a much better indication Tuesday when he throws batting practice.''
The A's have not ruled out Parker being able to make his next scheduled start Saturday against the Royals in Kansas City.
The fact that the A's believe Parker will be able to throw BP is in itself a good sign. If the injury was clearly a strain, they'd keep him from throwing.
"If he's feeling something Tuesday,'' the manager said, ``we won't put him in position (to hurt himself further by throwing).''
He's getting some starts in center field for the River Cats.
A regular at second base in 2011 and 2012, Weeks had injury issues and stiff competition at second base this spring. Since then he's branched out to the point where he's actually played more games at shortstop (21) than at second (19) through Saturday.
And it was on Saturday that Weeks, hitting .265 with a .383 on-base percentage and 58 runs scored in 72 games, gave center field a shot for the first time.
``Athletically, he could probably play anywhere,'' Melvin said. ``It's my understanding that it may have been his decision to go to center. He has the skill set to do that.''
But if Jaso can't catch Tuesday against Chicago Cubs' right-hander Scott Feldman, the A's may have to reconsider the disabled list.
``We're hoping not to have to do that,'' Melvin said. ``He's better, but he's still not ready to catch nine innings.''
Jaso said he's getting a little stir crazy not being able to play because of such a little thing.
``It doesn't look like a big thing,'' he said, holding out his left palm. ``To miss this much time, I should have broken a finger or something.''

21 March 2011
In response to the media release issued by the Commerce Commission on the 18th of March 2011, the directors of spazioCasa would like to clarify the following statements made: Origin of Goods: Whilst it is true that spazioCasa's goods are sourced from around the world, including China, spazioCasa has never implied on its website or in printed information that all products were manufactured solely in Italy.
spazioCasa has also never made customers intentionally believe that the non-Italian products were actually Italian. However after the Commerce Commission investigation, it become apparent that two new spazioCasa employees (out of approximately forty nationwide) were mistaken with regard to the origin of a number of products and subsequently claimed that these were Italian made when in fact they were not. spazioCasa admitted that this was unsatisfactory and that it was a breach of the Fair Trading Act but at the same time both parties agreed and concluded that this was not an intentional breach.
Although this was agreed, the Commerce Commission media release implies that spazioCasa knowingly and intentionally misled its customers. This is not correct and in conflict with the settlement. The press release also stated that 60% of all spazioCasa's products were sourced from China. This is also not true. The Commerce Commission infact started its investigation (one and a half years ago), by focusing solely on 'the plumbing range', just one of the many product categories that spazioCasa import. The natural stone, timber flooring and tile product ranges were not included in the investigation. However the Commerce Commission press release seems to suggest that 60% of the entire spazioCasa product range is made in China. This is completely incorrect. As per today, spazioCasa's total product range consists of approximately 70% of genuine Italian made products and 30% of product manufactured in other countries, including China (but still manufactured with Italian inspired design and engineering). The current bathroom , flooring and tile brands supplied exclusively by spazioCasa that are manufactured 100% in Italy include:
Cotto d'Estte, Casalgrande Padana, Versace, Gigacer, Floor Gres , Rex Ceramiche, Sichenia, Blu Italy, ArBlue, Proparq, Remer, Bellosta, Daniel Rubinetterie, Geda, Cielo, Vitruvit, Solmet, Casabath, La Roccia, Ceramiche Nordica, ceramiche Vaccari spazioCasa believes that they have one of the largest ranges of Italian bathroomware and flooring available in New Zealand under one roof. spazioCasa stands behind all their products with guarantees that range from one year to a life time.
Uniqueness of Goods: While spazioCasa believed that it was the exclusive supplier of certain products, it has accepted some of those products were also available at some competitors' stores and this was corrected on its website and merchandising.
Price Guarantee: In a number of brochures and folders spazioCasa made the claim that consumers would not find an equivalent item for less. This statement was never intended to mislead spazioCasa's customers and as soon as this breach of the Fair Trading Act was bought to the attention of the directors, these claims were immediately removed from the website and merchandising. spazioCasa recognizes that this may have misled some customers and the directors of spazioCasa wish to apologise unreservedly if any customers were misled. GST Declaration: All goods are advertised at spazioCasa as excluding GST. On the spazioCasa website good branding practice was not followed and the +GST may not have been displayed or may have been displayed in an obscure manner. However, customers were clearly informed of the GST component before any sale was made.
SpazioCasa was Not Fined or Prosecuted
It is vital to highlight and make the public of New Zealand understand that spazioCasa was not fined or prosecuted by the Commerce Commission.
The reason that spazioCasa and the Commerce Commission were able to settle out of court was due to the understanding that the above were genuine, unintentional mistakes on the part of spazioCasa. It was agreed by both parties that there was no intent to mislead the public of New Zealand, and it is for this reason that spazioCasa received a warning and was not prosecuted and fined by the Commerce Commission.
spazioCasa has fully cooperated with the Commerce Commission, acted immediately to rectify the situation and has continued to comply with all Commerce Commission requests/recommendations from the moment the issues were identified as part of the 'out of court settlement'.
While spazioCasa admits that (because of some of the above reasons highlighted during the investigation) there were breaches of the Fair Trading Act, spazioCasa at the same time strongly disagree that their website and merchandising misled customers about the country of origin. As explained, the wrong statement about the country of origin was only breached by 2 relatively inexperienced employees out of 40 when showrooms were surveyed by the Commerce Commission.
It is for the above reasons that the spazioCasa directors feel that the Commerce Commission press release overstated the facts because it not only implies that spazioCasa was deliberately intending to mislead its customers about the country of origin, but also states that 60% of the entire spazioCasa product range is made in China. Therefore spazioCasa strongly disagrees with the overall content of the press release. The spazioCasa directors feel that it is disappointing that the Commerce Commission only released the press release to spazioCasa's lawyers 45 minutes before it was released to the media. This did not allow enough time for the spazioCasa lawyers and directors to review and identify the implications of the overstatement of facts and discuss this with the Commerce Commission directly.
spazioCasa and its directors feel that it is necessary to clarify the Commerce Commission press release and is continuing to seek legal advice regarding this matter. Once again, if a spazioCasa customer feels that they have been misled in any way, the directors of spazioCasa wish to express their sincerest apologies and wish to encourage the customer to contact their nearest store to discuss the matter further.
