Hey Dougie,
Have you noticed any reoccurring opposing views that The Ring Ratings panelists offer as to how to rank fighters? How do you think The Ring (panel and board) is doing with its divisional rankings?
I know guys campaigning in one division is rare these days and that a big win can make a difference but the current Welterweight rankings seem especially devoid of actual Welters (who've fought Welters):
Malignaggi 4 fights
Bradley 2 fights
Bailey 5 fights (since 2009)
Lopez 3 fights
Ortiz 6 fights (since 2009)
Guerrero 1 fight
At this rate if Ricky Hatton takes out Michael Katsidis at 147 he'll be a shoe-in for a top 10 ranking!!!
Anyways enjoy the packed fall schedule. – Ad Rock, Whitby, Ontario, Canada
I will. The last three months of 2012 will fly by and I'm expecting a few gems before the end of the year.
Hatton would not be considered for THE RING's welterweight top 10 if he beat Katsidis in his anticipated comeback fight in November. Katsidis is not ranked by THE RING in any division.
The fighters you mentioned did not have many fights at 147 pounds but they beat RING-ranked welterweights to break into the magazine's ratings. Malignaggi beat Vyacheslav Senchenko (No. 5 at the time). Bradley "beat" Manny Pacquiao (No. 1 at the time, and still is). Bailey KO'd Mike Jones (No. 6 at the time). Lopez stopped Victor Ortiz (No. 3 at the time). Ortiz beat Andre Berto (No. 3 at the time). Guerrero beat Selcuk Aydin (No. 10 at the time).
I think the current Ring Ratings Panel is an excellent group of enthusiastic and knowledgeable young boxing scribes – which includes RingTV's Corey Erdman, Ryan Songalia, Mike Coppinger and Harry Pratt, as well as Boxingscene's Ryan Maquinana, MaxBoxing's Anson Wainwright and The Queensbury Rules' Mark Ortega – mixed in with us old farts (Joe Koizumi, Martin Mulcahey and Yours Truly).
We have lively (but respectful) debates about THE RING's ratings via group emails every week. RING Editor Michael Rosenthal gets everyone's POV on every ratings issue before he and I make any decision. I've been on the magazine's Ratings Panel since the Championship Policy was restarted 10 years ago and I can honestly say that there's never been this much communication between the Editorial Board and the Ratings Panel.
(And if you think I'm bulls__ting just email or tweet some of the panelists I mentioned, such as Mulcahey, Maquinana, Ortega or Wainwright, and ask them.)
Hi Doug.
How are you doing? I wonder what you would think about these match ups.
1. Finito Lopez vs Brian Viloria (at 112)
Keep up the good work! – Naoki, Reno, NV
Nice to hear from you, Naoki. Here goes (in order):
Hey Doug,
'Been itching to ask you about the following matchups. How do you see them go?
Some Featherweight stuff…
What ever happened to Celestino Caballero? Looks like he's been under the radar for quite a while.
Do you think Juanma Lopez can still be force @126 when he gets back? He's got all the power he needs but a lot less of the conditioning to go through a full 12-round battle it seems.
Who wins Mikey Garcia vs. Orlando Salido? D'you think you'll crown a lineal champ soon @126? Hehe.
Do you think Gary Russell Jr. has the P4P potential in the next 2-3 years?
Will a change of trainer work for Amir Khan? I mean, work like Wladimir Klitschko-Emanuel Steward worked? (I seriously doubt it. lol)
If I let you play the role of Andre Ward's manager, how would you steer him towards an all-time great status? Any compelling future matchups you see? Because as far as LHW's are concerned, B-Hop is the only one remaining there. Beating an old B-Hop doesn't really excite me unless it's a KO (haters would point to B-Hop's age to downgrade such a win of course). Inviting Martinez to 168 would be an option though that would hardly mean anything seeing how badly Martinez got hurt by a big guy in JCC Jr. and seeing recently how Ward handled Dawson. – Joopabs from the Philippines
Thanks for finally writing, Joopabs. (Man, they would have had fun with your name in school back in Missouri – and not just in elementary, I'm talking all the way up through college.)
I'll start from the bottom of your email and work my way up.
If I was Ward's manager I wouldn't worry about his all-time great status. Stuff like that is better left to boxing nerds like you and I. If I was Ward's manager my only concerns would be making him a worldwide star, getting him the biggest paydays available and keeping him unbeaten (and relatively unscathed). If he earns ATG recognition along the way or when it's all said and done, that's just icing on the cake.
I'd go after Andre Dirrell sometime next year (after Ward's Olympic teammate and buddy looked good in a comeback fight or two). There are storylines in that matchup that would make for an interesting promotion, plus Dirrell's size and talent make him a legit threat (at least in some peoples' minds).
The winner of the Froch-Bute rematch is another attractive 168-pound opponent and either fighter could make for a lively promotion, especially if I could get Ward to travel outside of the USA to their home regions. Beyond those two fights, Ward could stick around at super middleweight and wait for young guns such as George Groves and Edwin Rodriguez to mature, or he could toss his hat in to the light heavyweight mix. I would push for the jump to 175 pounds.
A decent domestic title bout with IBF beltholder Tavoris Cloud could kick-off Ward's light heavy campaign, but the big fights would take place outside of the U.S. against former champ Jean Pascal in Quebec and against WBO titleholder Nathan Cleverly somewhere in the UK.
I think Ward would win those bouts in entertaining fashion (because of the styles or talent level of his opponents) in front of very large crowds. I believe he would be paid very well for those fights and I think the boxing media would celebrate his willingness to travel to his opponents' home turn and many scribes would suggest that he had earned hall of fame status with that five-bout run.
Will a change of trainer work for Amir Khan? Only time will tell. It really comes down to whether or not Khan still wants to learn at this stage of his career. If the answer is yes I think he can more than regain his prior status in the sport.
I think Russell does have pound-for-pound potential given his stellar amateur background, high-level of talent and technique, and the division he occupies. However, he's got to stay healthy and fight more often – against much better opposition than he's been fighting – in order to fulfill his promise.
I like Mikey over Salido in a very good fight. It's very possible that the vacant RING featherweight title could be up for grabs in that fight. Salido is No. 1 and Garcia is No. 3 in THE RING ratings. No. 2 Chris John has publicly stated that he's winding his career down and I doubt he ever fights a top dog in the States again. This is definitely a question for the Ring Ratings Panel.
I don't know if Lopez is ever going to be the same after those two beatings he absorbed from Salido. I have to see how heavy he fights when he comes back and observe his form (with a close eye on his legs) before I give an opinion on whether he can be a force at featherweight again.
Caballero is under the radar because he hasn't fought since outpointing Satoshi Hosono in Japan last December. He can still be a player in the 126-pound division but he's got to make a move soon. The volume-punching string bean is 36 years old.
Your contemporary matchups:
– Adrien Broner vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa @135—I think Gamby is tailor-made for The Problem. Broner scores a sick-ass mid-rounds KO.
– Gary Russell Jr. vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux @126—Russell has a lot more talent and ability than the other prospects that Rigo has feasted on recently, but he's not ready for the Cuban amateur legend. Russell has yet to fight past eight rounds and he's never faced a fellow southpaw with Rigo's skill, savvy and control. However, his speed and power would keep Rigondeaux honest for much of the bout. I think the older man would land the harder shots and avoid most of the younger man's bombs en route to winning a 116-112-type unanimous decision in a chess match.
– Danny Garcia vs. winner of Brandon Rios-Mike Alvarado—Where do I buy tickets for this one? I like Alvarado by late TKO or close decision. I like Garcia by close decision over Rios. (Of course, if Rios beats Alvarado in impressive fashion I'll probably change this pick.)
– Kelly Pavlik vs. JCC Jr. @168—This would be a fight. If Junior's chin holds out (and I believe it would) I think he would outwork Pavlik to a close but unanimous decision.
Wassup Doug,
I love your mailbags and was hoping you can clarify something for me.
1. Is there a difference between a great fighter and an ATG fighter or are they the same? If they are different what's the difference?
2. Do you consider any of these fighters great; Roy Jones, Felix Trinidad, Oscar De la Hoya and Ricardo Lopez?
Thanks. – SRJ
Good question. For most fans and members of the sports and boxing media, I think a "great" fighter and an "all-time great" are one and the same. But those who are into the sport's deep history probably make a distinction. Personally, I separate the truly exceptional fighters into three groups: hall of famers, greats and all-time greats.
Hall of famers are very accomplished, often very popular, boxers who either burned extremely bright for a short period of time (such as Aaron Pryor, Jeff Fenech and Mike Tyson) or strung together impressive victories and title defenses over an extended period (such as Khaosai Galaxy and Terry Norris).
"Great" fighters, in my opinion are first-ballot hall of famers who fought the best fighters of their era, including fellow hall of famers when those rivals were in their primes. They can be guys who burned bright for a few years (such as Salvador Sanchez, Aaron Pryor and Joe Frazier) or badasses who managed to have long careers despite their willingness to face the best (such as Luis Rodriguez, Tommy Hearns and Julio Cesar Chavez).
"All-time greats" are great fighters who had long, accomplished careers and numerous victories over fellow hall of famers and "greats" (such as Archie Moore, Jake LaMotta and Emile Griffith). Many ATGs established themselves as the best fighters ever in a particular division (or two), such as Willie Pep (featherweight), Roberto Duran (lightweight), Ray Robinson (welterweight and middleweight), Ezzard Charles (light heavyweight) and Muhammad Ali (heavyweight). Others broke records that stood for decades (some still stand today, such as Joe Louis' record for title defenses in one division). Louis is also arguably the greates heavyweight ever.
I don't consider any of the fighters you mentioned (Jones, Trinidad, De La Hoya or Lopez) to be ATGs. They are all first-ballot hall of famers in my opinion. (I voted for Finito the first time I saw his name on the IBHOF ballot and I will do so when I see the names of the others.) They are arguably "great" (especially Lopez, who set a division record by defending his WBC 105-pound title 23 times and is arguably the best strawweight of all time).
The only active fighter I consider to be hands-down "great" is Hopkins. He has two records (the most middleweight title defenses and the oldest boxer to hold major belts), he faced the best fighters in two divisions over two and half decades (and beat most of them), and he's arguably one of the best middleweights ever (at least top 10). He also engaged in numerous return matches and was willing to travel outside of the U.S.
just got done watching the second episode of the all access show for the alvarez vs. lopez fight and I got to say I like it when they go into the aftermath of the fight and show what happens behind the scenes after the dust has settled. 24/7 did it for the Ortiz-mayweather fight and I think both series should make a point of doing an episode after the fight has aired all the time…..
canelo is so fundamentally sound its retarded (in a good way), and I think he stops both trout and cotto in the later rounds if they end up fighting. I think Lara gives him fits if they tango, and I'd love to see that scrap…..
speaking of cubans, I think Rigondeaux is the best out there at 122. A bit untested yes, but hes not a two time gold medalist for no reason (say what you want about the amateur boxing system, yes I put value in the fact he has those medals on his resume). I see him outboxing Donaire on to a comfortable UD, scoring a knockdown on the way….
I kind of don't want to see a chavez martinez rematch mainly because I think theres a good chance JCC Jr. gets his act together, trains like hes supposed to and stops martinez in the rematch. He's just so big for that weight class its retarded (in a scary way). That or, martinez polishes up and makes sure he doesn't include trading with junior in his game plan and dances circles around them in the fight…….
what do you think it does for mayweather's legacy if he beats martinez at 54? more or less signifcant than what a win over pacquiao at 47 would do provided he gets by marquez?……
lets talk legacy for a split. I think Ward's as good as it gets but the win over dawson for me is tainted because of the fact that it was at 68. How much more significant would that win have been had it happened at 75? Enough for your colleagues to have him displace mayweather/pacquiao atop the pound for pound rankings?…….
whats the word on bhop? i know this comments a bit outdated but damn, picking to fight dawson was such a "bad" decision (see what I did there). Everybody and their moms could have told him that was a bad stylistic match up for him. Where does he rate in your list of all time middleweight greats? How about at 75? ( if you even think his short resume at the weight deserves consideration)…..
and finally, i caught pwill's interview with jim gray on showtime the other day and I have to say, his optimism for the future is inspiring. He's got such a great outlook on life. How do you think his fight with canelo would have played out had it happened?– Canadian Slickster
I think Canelo's harder, more accurate power punches would have carried him to a very close, extremely hard-fought 12-round battle with Williams, whose optimism in the face of his misfortune is indeed inspiring. I won't be surprised if we see him walking around ringside in a few years. The combination of his positive attitude and fighter's iron will can work miracles.
I don't rate B-Hop in my top 10 light heavyweights but he's in middle of the list among my all-time middleweights. The only 160 pounders I firmly set ahead of him are ATGs, such as Robinson, Monzon, Greb, LaMotta and Hagler. As I stated in the previous email response, I think B-Hop is great, which means he can take his time before announcing what he plans to do next.
I do believe a victory over Dawson at 175 pounds would have been more significant for Ward. He would have faced a physically stronger version of Dawson and earned lineal championship recognition in a second division.
I think that could have been enough for him to leap-frog the dynamic duo in the mythical P4P ratings that everyone cares too much about.
A win over Pacquiao at 147 would have meant a lot more than a win over Martinez at 154 had Mayweather faced the Filipino icon in 2010 or 2011. Now that it's clear that the Manny is no longer a Pac-Monster, I think the victories would be about equal. Personally, I would give Mayweather more credit for beating Martinez, who I think is more dangerous than Pacquiao.
Interesting, your reasoning for your hesitation to watch a Martinez-Chavez rematch actually makes me want to see it.
I think Donaire knocks Rigondeaux retarded (in the bad way) and the f___ out. I think Rigo is very good, but I also think he's tad overrated by hardcore heads.
I agree that Canelo has what it takes to defeat Cotto and/or Trout, but I don't see him stopping either man. I think Trout would give Alvarez a more difficult fight. Erislandy Lara gives every junior middleweight not named Carlos Molina a difficult fight. Let's see how the Cuban fares against Vanes Martirosyan before we talk up Alvarez-Lara too much, though.
I agree that post-event documentary style coverage of big fights is often more compelling than the usual pre-fight stuff. I think both HBO and Showtime will give us more of this in the future.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, C.S. Your subjects and random capitalization were retarded (in a good way).

Netflix Releases 'The Battered Bastards of Baseball' Trailer
If you occasionally feel nostalgic for the long hair, mustaches and tight uniforms of professional baseball in the 1970s, stay tuned.
Netflix released a trailer for "The Battered Bastards of Baseball," a documentary about a ragtag team, the Mavericks, who sought in 1973 to fill a void left when Portland, Ore., lost its minor-league baseball affiliate.
The story follows the actor Bing Russell, known for Hollywood roles including Deputy Clem on the long-running TV series "Bonanza," as he forms the independent single-A team with the idea of avoiding some of the restrictions of the major-league baseball system.
While the campaign didn't last very long, the team won games and developed a following while drawing record crowds for a minor-league squad. The film presents as a sort of real-life combination of sports fans' favorite fictional baseball flicks, from "Bull Durham" and "Major League" to "The Bad News Bears."
The film premieres July 11. Watch the trailer.

Marietta's municipal code prohibits downtown businesses from placing items on city sidewalks that will obstruct pedestrian traffic, although many shopkeepers do set some wares out on the walkways during warmer months of the year.
"We've had a business on Front Street for seven years now, and have always put things out. And many other downtown stores have also put items out on the walk," said Shana Woodford, owner of H. Rietz & Company, now located at 282 Front St.
She said placing items on the walk in front of the store-against the building's front wall or at the edge of the street, leaving a wide path for pedestrians-helps attract customers and can generate sales for downtown stores.

SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Shoppers walk among flowers, flags and other items being displayed by merchants on the Front Street sidewalk Wednesday afternoon.
Judy and George Wastier of Jackson, who were perusing Marietta's downtown shops Thursday afternoon, agreed.
"To me it helps people to see what businesses have to offer," George said. "In Jackson we probably have only one store that has anything out on the sidewalk, but our town has no law prohibiting it."
Judy said she saw no problem with wares on walkways, "as long as the sidewalks are wide enough."
Fact Box
If you go
A special public meeting to discuss the city sidewalk regulations has been scheduled for 7 p.m. June 17 in the community building at Lookout Park. Area merchants and other members of the community are encouraged to attend.
Businesses with permits to locate tables on city sidewalks:
Marietta Wine Cellars, 211 Second St.-permit expires 2016.
Levee House, 127 Ohio St.-permit expires 2018.
Third Street Deli, 508 Third St.-permit expires 2018.
Austyn's Restaurant, 130 Front St.-currently renewing permit that's expiring this year.
The Original Pizza Place, 231 Second St.-applying for first permit this month.
Source: City of Marietta
Marietta resident Michelle Whitacre said items placed on city walks do not present a barrier to pedestrians.
"I've never had any problem getting down the street," she said. "I could always get around, even when my daughter Annabelle was still in her stroller."
Whitacre added that the family also enjoys eating outside when the weather is nice-a choice that's offered by several downtown restaurants, including the Levee House on Ohio Street where Tim and Margaret Skinner of Westerville were eating dinner Wednesday afternoon.
The couple was sitting at one of 10 tables along the brick walkway overlooking the Ohio River outside the restaurant.
"We're both retired and love getting off the beaten path, taking the scenic routes to towns like Marietta," Tim said.
His wife agreed.
"We've decided to take time to enjoy all the things that Ohio has to offer," she said, adding that the couple was purposefully looking for a place where they could dine outdoors and the Levee House was a perfect spot.
"We didn't want to sit indoors on a beautiful day like this," Tim added.
Levee House owners David and Kimberly Hearing said the sidewalk tables are popular and bring a lot of business to the restaurant.
"They're always full or nearly full," David said. "It's a big draw during the summer months."
But he noted that the city requires the restaurant to purchase a permit so that tables and chairs can be placed on the sidewalk for the diners.
"It's not a big concern for us to obtain the permit, although we also have to provide liability insurance to cover that area of the sidewalk," David said.
The Levee House is one of five downtown eateries that have obtained permits to allow customers to eat at tables on the sidewalks, which are part of the city's right of way.
Other facilities include the Third Street Deli, Marietta Wine Cellars, Austyn's and The Original Pizza Place.
To obtain a permit the restaurant owner must currently file a request with the city streets and transportation committee with a drawing of the sidewalk area to be used. The request then goes before city council for approval.
The 5-year permits are $150 for the first year and $1 for the remaining four years, for a total of $154.
At least two downtown establishments-Wild Rivers tea room and the Skyline Cafe, both on Putnam Street-were issued citations last month for placing tables and chairs on the sidewalk in front of their businesses without having a permit.
City safety-service director Jonathan Hupp said the businesses were simply not in compliance with the code governing use of city sidewalks and were therefore issued the citations to appear in Marietta Municipal Court.
Wild Rivers received two citations which carry $95 court costs apiece, and Skyline Cafe owner Steve Barros received one citation.
During a streets and transportation committee meeting last week Tumas-Serna said the state and municipal laws regulating use of the sidewalks seem to be contradictory. One section of the code, 722.02 (a) says merchants can "...sell merchandise, wares, goods, foods, periodicals or other articles on the sidewalk located immediately adjacent to the front of their business so long as pedestrian movement is not unduly hindered thereby."
But another section, 521.04 (c) states "No person shall place, deposit or maintain any merchandise, goods, material or equipment upon any sidewalk so as to obstruct pedestrian traffic..."
Barros, who has been in business for five years on Putnam Street, has had tables on the walkway for some time, but said he had not been familiar with the sidewalk regulation before the citation was issued last month.
"I personally believe having tables or other items outside help make the city sidewalks more appealing," he said.
But Barros agreed that the current law seemed to a bit ambiguous, and noted that city council is now moving to make changes that will help clarify the regulations for everyone.
"I agree with what they're planning to do now," Barros said. "They want to make changes in order to better communicate the law to everyone."
Hupp said Thursday that he and Mayor Joe Matthews had asked the city law director to have the citations withdrawn that were issued against Wild Rivers and the Skyline Cafe.
Following Thursday's city council meeting law director Paul Bertram said he had entered a motion for the citations to be withdrawn.
Neither Hupp nor Bertram were aware of any other citations that had been issued against downtown businesses related to the sidewalk ordinance in recent years.
Bertram also said the permits are currently only required of eating establishments who want to place tables and chairs on the sidewalks. Other merchants are able to set items on the walkways as long as they are reasonable and do not obstruct pedestrian traffic.
During Thursday's council meeting Councilman Roger Kalter, D-1st Ward, said he had counted at least seven businesses along Front Street alone that had items placed on the sidewalks.
Also during that session, streets and transportation committee chairman Denver Abicht, D-at large, announced that a public meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. June 17 in the community building at Lookout Park to discuss the sidewalk regulations and consider potential changes.
Abicht encouraged all downtown merchants to attend, saying they could provide valuable input about the issue that would help improve the sidewalk code.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma House panel is set to consider a proposal that would create a statewide emergency drought relief fund.
The bill calls for at least $10 million to be available for relevant state agencies at the discretion of the governor in the event of a drought disaster.

Beware of Reused Syringes When You Get a Shot
For all of the discussion of fancy new technologies that pose problems in health care, it's sometimes the simple things that create daily trouble.
Like shots. Unsafe injection practices have contributed to outbreaks of hepatitis in the U.S. in recent years, and are a leading cause of infections in doctors' offices, outpatient clinics and long-term care facilities, Laura Landro writes this morning. Also, take a look at our posts from last year about a Nevada outbreak of hepatitis C tied to unsafe use of syringes.
Even if health-care workers replace needles each time, reusing a syringe can be enough to infect someone with HIV or hepatitis. Diseases can also be passed on if an unclean needle or syringe is used to draw more medication from a multiple-dose vial, contaminating the vial and putting subsequent patients at risk.
Another mistake is to inject a sterile needle into a patient's IV tubing to flush it with saline solution, then to reuse the needle for another patient, figuring it only came into contact with the sterile solution. But it might have become contaminated with microscopic amounts of disease.
To combat these kinds of mistakes, the CDC and some private medical groups plan next week to start an educational campaign with the slogan, "One Needle, One Syringe, Only One Time."
Prevention Bonus: To learn more, check out this nonprofit educational group, Hepatitis Outbreaks National Organization for Reform or HONOReform, which was started with funds from a malpractice settlement over a reused contaminated syringe. The WSJ article also has tips for avoiding problems, such as requesting single-dose vials of medicine and using clinics affiliated with major hospitals, which are likely to better train workers.

Past Exhibitions: 2009
Treasures Rediscovered: Chinese Stone Sculptures from the Sackler Collections at Columbia University
May 23 through August 16, 2009
This exhibition features 22 important sculptures that now for the first time can be ascribed to specific Buddhist sites such as Xiangtanshan, Longmen, and Tianlonghsan. The sculptures—steles, full figures, and heads of divinities, as well as funerary objects—provide a comprehensive view of how art manifests ritual practice and reveals, through iconography, the transmission and transformation of cultures from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE) through the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE). The exhibition will explore both indigenous and imported trends during the period. Emphasis will be placed on works from the sixth century CE, a time of great intellectual ferment and artistic creation, when change and innovation occurred in political and Buddhist centers in China.
This exhibition and tour are organized by the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery, Columbia University.Major support for the exhibition and the accompanying catalogue came from the AMS Foundation for the Arts, Sciences, and Humanities, the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Foundation, and an anonymous donor. Contributions were also received from Giuseppe Eskenazi, London; Dorothy Tapper Goldman; James J. Lally; Dr. David and Mrs. Elvi Menke; and Howard and Mary Ann Rogers.
This Ann Arbor presentation is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Center for Chinese Studies.

11 30 Americans Artists Select Participants in Debut Exhibition of the Contemporary Wing Gallery
The Contemporary Wing art gallery's premier exhibition, NEXT GENERATION: Selections by Artists from the 30 Americans Collection, is on view February 4–March 10. Artists in the exhibition were selected by 30 Americans artists Nina Chanel Abney, Nick Cave, Rashid Johnson, Rodney McMillian, Gary Simmons, Xaviera Simmons, Shinique Smith, Henry Taylor, Hank Willis Thomas, Mickalene Thomas, and Carrie Mae Weems. A catalog accompanies the exhibition with critiques by Kalia Brooks, exhibitions director at MoCADA (Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts) in Brooklyn, NY. The exhibition is being held at 1250 Ninth Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20001.
Nine on the Ninth
In this special edition of "Nine on the Ninth," the monthly poetry series at Busboys & Poets hosted by Derrick Weston Brown, four poets responded to 30 Americans. Poets read a work of their choosing plus a 30-word poem written expressly for the occasion. Cave Canem Foundation, the national organization dedicated to cultivating the artistic and professional growth of African American poets, co-sponsored the event. Cave Canem Foundation was founded in 1996 by poets Toi Derricotte and Cornelius Eady as a home for the many voices of African American poetry.

Theresa May said the UK has to "wipe out anti-Semitism". The BBC has now featured an article about Jews in the UK fearing for their safety, but unfortunately this doesn't surprise me at all. This new interest in British anti-Semitism stems largely from the attacks in France, and it's a shame that it took such a tragic event for Brits to begin to consider the problems here at home.
It is now that these two communities must understand how interdependent they are. When one community is attacked, the other is next in line. The hatred of Muslims in Europe is the same hatred that Jews have experienced for the last few centuries. When Jews perpetrate islamaphobic actions, they are creating an atmosphere in which anti-Semitism thrives and vice versa.

Home Away From Home – From March 10 onward, the Boston Bruins won a total of five games at their Beantown home, TD Garden.
That's the same number of games the Washington Capitals won in the same building over the same time span.
Joel Ward's goal at 2:57 of overtime gave the Caps a 2-1 win in the deciding Game 7 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series between the Capitals and the Bruins on Wednesday night in Boston.
The win was Washington's fifth in six tries in a span of 47 days in Boston.
Mike Knuble collected an errant dump-in attempt from Bruins forward Benoit Pouliot as the home team went for a change. Knuble then tore through the neutral zone with Ward on a 2-on-1 break, and backhanded a shot on Boston netminder Tim Thomas. Thomas made the initial stop, but Ward tucked the rebound into a small, short-side opening to end the series, dethroning the defending Stanley Cup champions and sending the Capitals on to the second round against an as-yet-to-be-identified foe.
"It hit me right in the shins," says Knuble of Pouliot's dump-in attempt. "I knew they were all going for a change. Ward wasn't going to get the pass. I was going right to the crease with that one. I'm glad he added the finish there at the end."
"I went for a change," says Ward, "and Knubs made a big block there and I assumed we had a little bit of a break up ice so try to take a chance and I knew he was going to take it to the rack and I just tried to follow it up as best as I could. You know, I just saw the puck laying there and I just took a whack at it and it went in."
"We went to dump it in, Pouliot went to dump it in," says Bruins coach Claude Julien of the game-winning goal, "and he hit one of their players with the puck, and it just bounced out. That puck gets in deep, we're making a line change, and we're making a good line change but when it hit their player and bounced out, that's when things kind of turned sour on us, and we weren't able to recover."
Talk about unlikely heroes. Knuble (9:33 in ice time on the night) and Ward (10:44) had the lowest ice time totals of any Capitals on the night. Both were healthy scratches for several games down the stretch in late March and early April, and the two finished the season with identical stat lines of six goals and 18 points, Knuble in 72 games and Ward in 73.
"It's what hockey's all about," says Caps coach Dale Hunter. "Winning in overtime in the seventh game. That's something special, and well-deserved by our guys."
For Ward, the goal was his first since Feb. 24. That Feb. 24 goal was an empty-netter, so Wednesday's overtime series winner was his first goal with a goaltender in the net since Jan. 7.
Knuble was a healthy scratch for the first three games of the series. He was inserted into the Washington lineup in Game 4, and only because Caps center Nicklas Backstrom was suspended for that game because of a cross-check to the visor of Boston forward Rich Peverley at the final buzzer of regulation in Game 3.
Had Backstrom not been suspended, Knuble might not have been in the lineup and might not have been playing alongside Ward and Keith Aucoin.
And the series might have had a different outcome altogether.
Game Seven Overtime – Ward joins Hunter as one of only two players ever to score a game-winning goal in overtime of Game Seven in a Washington sweater. Hunter's moment came on April 16, 1988 when he went five-hole on Philadelphia's Ron Hextall to send the Caps to a Game Seven victory.
Thursday night's win raises Washington's all-time franchise record in Game Sevens to 3-7.
One More From The Road – Washington had the worst 2011-12 road record (16-21-4) of any of the 16 Stanley Cup playoff entrants. But the Capitals won three of the four road games they played to move on to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Tonight's series win in an enemy building was Washington's first since June 4, 1998 when Joé Juneau's overtime goal pushed the Caps past the Buffalo Sabres in six games in the Eastern Conference final series and delivered Washington to the lone Stanley Cup final appearance in its 37-year franchise history.
Like Ward's goal, Juneau's was a rebound follow-up that beat a pretty good goaltender (Dominik Hasek) who happened to have won the Vezina Trophy the year before.
The Kid's All Right – Caps goaltender Braden Holtby stopped 31 of 32 shots in Game 7 to win his first playoff series, besting the defending Vezina Trophy winner and Conn Smythe winner in the process.
According to Elias Sports Bureau, Holtby is just the fourth rookie goaltender in NHL history to win a Game 7 on the road, and the first to do so since Toronto's Felix Potvin in 1993. Holtby is also just the third rookie goaltender in league history to eliminate the defending Stanley Cup champions in a seven-game series, joining Calgary's Mike Vernon (1986) and Montreal's Ken Dryden (1971) on that short list.
Pressed into service when both Tomas Vokoun and Michal Neuvirth were sidelined with injuries at the start of the series, Holtby limited the Bruins to just 15 goals in the seven games. He finished the series with a 2.00 GAA and a .940 save pct.
Appearing in his first ever Stanley Cup playoff series, the 22-year-old Holtby played with the poise and composure of a seasoned veteran.
"If I got rattled I wouldn't be here right now," says Holtby. "It's one of those things that I've learned in order to get to this level. I've had to work on it and get better at it and obviously it has paid off."
Forty-one years ago this month, a veritable unknown 23-year-old netminder with a total of six games worth of regular season NHL experience came out of nowhere and stunned the Big Bad Bruins – who had set an NHL record with 399 regular season goals – in a seven-game first-round series. That stunned Bruins team was also a defending Stanley Cup champion club.
That goaltender was Montreal's Ken Dryden, and now Holtby is hearing his named mentioned in that lofty company.
"Holtsy is a unique kid," says Hunter, "[in] that nothing fazes him. He's a battler, you know whatever he does he's going to try his best, and he gets rewarded for it, because he is. And he's got great character, and the guys love him. When you call your goalie in net like a warrior, he's one of the guys like that."
Asked if he thought he'd someday look back on this series and be thankful he was a part of it, Holtby had the perfect response.
"If we win the next three [series] it will be."
Kid Stuff – Holtby becomes – along with Semyon Varlamov (2009) and Michal Neuvirth (2011) – the third rookie Caps goalie in four seasons to lead the team to a Stanley Cup series win. Each of Washington's last 18 Stanley Cup playoff wins has been delivered by a rookie goaltender.
Heroes – The heroes were many for the Capitals tonight. As is almost always the case in important wins, it was truly a team effort. But a few should be singled out.
Holtby was again strong and solid in net, keeping things close and never allowing the Bruins to get a two-goal lead at any point in the seven games. The Bruins were 38-0-0 in games in which they led by two goals at any point in the contest during the regular season. The fact that Holtby and the Caps were able to go through seven games without falling as many as two goals behind the defending champions is truly remarkable.
Foot soldiers Ward, Knuble and Matt Hendricks deserve kudos for supplying the offense in a game – and series – in which offense was particularly difficult to come by.
Ward and Knuble are a couple of the most genuine and well-liked guys in the Washington room, and they both battled through more than their share of adversity during the season. It was great to see them get rewarded at the end of the series.
Hendricks' first-period goal was his first since March 10 when he scored against Thomas in Boston. It was also the first Stanley Cup playoff goal and point of his NHL career.
And finally, don't sleep on the standout defensive play of Karl Alzner that came just prior to Ward's game-winner. Alzner splayed out to prevent Patrice Bergeron from ending the game and Washington's season just prior to Ward's game-winner.
Much was said and written about Boston's shutdown duo of Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg during this series, and deservedly so. They comprise one of the best such tandems in all of the NHL. But Alzner and partner John Carlson each had a tremendous series of shutdown duty against a Bruins bunch that is a handful in any one game, let alone seven hard-fought, tightly played tilts.
Special Delivery – Washington's penalty killing unit deserves mad props for pushing the Capitals into the second round, but it was really at the top of its game tonight in Game 7.
And it needed to be.
Boston had only three power play chances on the night (to one for Washington), but the Bruins got two of those extra-man opportunities in the third period with the game even at 1-1. The second of those opportunities came with just 2:26 in regulation when Caps left wing Jason Chimera was whistled for a holding call on Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk.
"When you talk about tonight," says Julien, "that's probably the most frustrating part of our game, was that power play that could have ended the series and the game.
"But, I guess, when you look at the whole picture, I think it was more than that. At the end of the series, you look at their team, and you look at ours, and they were the better team. They had more guys going than we did, and they played us tough. It was unfortunate that we've got to look at this one incident because it did play a big role in tonight, but a lot of the damage had been done before that as well."
Washington killed off 21 of 23 Boston power plays in the series for a kill rate of 91.3%, second only to Phoenix (94.7%) in the playoffs to date.
The Capitals won six of eight face-offs (75%) while shorthanded in Game 7. Boston was limited to just four shots on net during the six minutes in which it enjoyed the manpower advantage.
The King Is Dead – For the first time in five tries in its 37-year history, the Capitals have dethroned a defending Stanley Cup champion in the following year's playoffs.
Tonight marks the seventh time in the last nine seasons that the defending Stanley Cup champions have exited in the first round of the playoffs.
Razor Thin – Your faithful Caps365 correspondent believes he – and likely most of you – won't live long enough to see another Stanley Cup playoff series played this tightly again.
(Unless of course, it's St. Louis and Los Angeles in the upcoming Western Conference semifinals.)
For the first time in Stanley Cup playoff history, all seven games of a series were decided by a single goal. Four games – the first two and the last two – went into overtime.
A total of 450 minutes and 28 seconds of hockey were played in this series. And for 308 minutes and 47 seconds of that time, the score was tied. That represents more than two-thirds of the entire series.
The Caps had the only two-goal lead of the entire seven-game set. It came in Game 5, and it lasted all of 2:54.
"Well, no doubt, it's made it an interesting series," says Julien of the closeness of the seven games. "I think when people watch these kind of games, and our games went into overtime and stuff like that, but again, I don't know why people would even think that it would have been one-sided.
"When you look at their team, and I mentioned numerous times, I don't believe they're a seventh place team. There's too much talent on that team to be that, and they righted the ship at the right time, and they're playing some great hockey right now, and that's what it seems to be all about in the playoffs nowadays.
"When you look at the teams that have been knocked out, it's whoever's playing their best hockey at the right time, and the parity shows, and then the team that's on top of their games seems to be winning the series right now."
The Longest Lead – From the time Hendricks scored at 11:23 of the first period until Tyler Seguin's tying tally for the Bruins at 14:27 of the second period, the Caps held a lead for 23:04. That represents the longest either team held onto any lead at any point in the entire series.
Alternating Tallies – The Capitals and Bruins combined for a total of just 31 goals in the seven games, 16 by Washington and 15 by Boston. The last 13 of those 31 goals were scored in alternating fashion, one by Boston and one by Washington, right up to the end of the series. The Bruins scored twice in a span of 28 seconds late in the second period of Game 5. The second of those two goals – from forward Brad Marchand – started the sequence of 13 alternating goals from the two teams.
Been There Before – Half of Washington's franchise total of 10 Game Sevens has been played in the last five springs. The Caps' current core is now 2-3 in the five Game Sevens in which they've played together, starting with the loss to the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2008 Eastern Conference quarterfinal series.
Streak Stopped – Hendricks' goal ended Thomas' Game 7 shutout streak at 139:03. Thomas had pitched consecutive Game 7 shutouts – against Vancouver and Tampa Bay last spring – prior to Wednesday's series finale.
Star In The Making – Sophomore Bruins forward Tyler Seguin was quiet early in the series but he came on late and was quite a handful for the Capitals to contend with in the final two games.
Seguin scored the overtime game-winner in Game 6 that forced the series back to Boston and he also supplied the Bruins' lone tally of Game 7. Seguin led the Bruins with seven shots on goal in Wednesday's series finale.
Over the final 74:17 of the series, Seguin was the only Bruins to solve Holtby.
Down On The Farm – The AHL Hershey Bears were in action on Wednesday night at Giant Center, attempting to stave off elimination in their best-of-five, first-round Calder Cup series with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
Hershey got it done, needing overtime to take a 4-3 decision over the Baby Pens and force a Game 4 on Friday night at Giant Center. Ryan Potulny scored at 2:57 of the extra session – the exact same time at which Ward's overtime game-winner was scored – to keep the Bears' season alive.
D.J. King scored his first goal as a member of the Capitals' organization, and Cameron Schilling netted the first goal of his pro career for the Bears. Kyle Greentree also scored for Hershey. Dany Sabourin made 26 saves in goal to earn the victory.
With Wednesday's win, Hershey avoided being swept in the first round in a best-of-five set for the first time since 1966.
By The Numbers – Mike Green led the Caps with 24:55 in ice time … Alzner skated 3:57 of the six minutes in which Washington was shorthanded on the night to lead the team … Chimera, Hendricks, Ward and Roman Hamrlik led the Caps with three shots on goal each … Hendricks paced the Caps with six hits … Carlson led the way with five blocked shots … Jay Beagle won seven of 10 (70%) face-offs to lead the Capitals.

With all that we have to do in a day, spending a lot of time in the kitchen is probably the last thing you want to do at the end of it. But the family has to eat and so do you. Check out these easy recipes that require only 10 minutes or less of prep time. All of the recipes can easily be modified to suit your taste and dietary requirements. Here's a little hint to save yourself even more time: wherever recipes call for chopped vegetables, either buy them already chopped or chop them the night before yourself.
There's no baking involved, although you could bake this meal if you want the flavors to really come together. I use the stovetop because my kids are not interested in whether or not the flavors have had time to develop. You will need:
Cook beef and onion together until the beef is brown and crumbled. Put beef mixture and the rest of the ingredients in a saucepan. Stir well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Fried rice is such a great meal because it can be as simple or as complex as you like. It's also easy to adapt to your family's taste. You can substitute or add ingredients. Sometimes I add cooked shrimp, shredded chicken, or cooked beef strips.
Scramble the eggs. Set them aside in a clean dish.
Using the same pan in which you scrambled the eggs, add a teaspoon of oil and set the heat to medium-high. Sear the tofu on all sides until it's golden-brown on all sides. Remove the tofu from the heat and set it aside in a clean dish.
Add another teaspoon of oil to the pan and stir in the rice. Make sure all the grains of rice are coated with oil. Let it cook until the rice begins to brown.
Add soy sauce and rice wine vinegar (if you're using it, add the ginger and garlic) and stir. Add the bok choy and cook until the leaves are wilted. Add the mixed vegetables, cook until warm. Stir in the eggs, tofu, and scallions.
Add more soy sauce and rice wine vinegar to taste. If you're using sesame oil, add it here.

Breakfast for dinner is different and adds a little novelty to meal times. You can't get much easier than this recipe.
Beat eggs together. Add the rest of the ingredients in whatever amounts you like. Pour into a greased muffin pan. Fill it a little more than half way. Bake for 375 degrees for 30 minutes. If you have leftovers or make extra, the egg muffins are easy to warm up for breakfast on the go the next day.

Mix cooked and shredded chicken with your favorite barbecue sauce. Heat it in the microwave until it's warm, not hot. Serve on split rolls or hamburger buns. Alternately, you can heat over the stovetop adding onions, jalapeños, red or green peppers or even black beans or corn.

Chicken breasts with a side of vegetables is a frequent stand-by at my house. It's easy and healthy. I try to keep it interesting by using different, seasonal vegetables and either grilling or baking the chicken. I even try different herbs and spices on the chicken.
Forget that mac and cheese from a box. You can do this recipe in about 5 minutes and the results taste much better.

Renault Clio RS review
Renault has taken its latest Renault Clio RS hot hatch in a different direction, with a turbocharged engine and five-door body
Renault has a reputation for building lively, effervescent hot hatchbacks that are great to drive, so its current downsized Clio RS represented a departure from the familiar recipe when it hit the market in 2013.
That's because Renaultsport focused on emissions, cutting the Clio's capacity and adding a turbo, while opting for a dual-clutch auto gearbox only.
The latest Clio RS endured a tough start to life, losing out to the Ford Fiesta ST and Peugeot 208 GTi on its review debut.
Both rivals had the edge as they were cheaper and more fun to drive. Yet with its hi-tech twin-clutch gearbox and turbocharged engine, the new Renault Clio RS is a more grown-up package than its hardcore predecessor. Plus, the roomy cabin and five-door layout make it a practical everyday proposition. It also boasts head-turning looks and an equally stylish interior.
If the standard Clio RS isn't enough for you, Renault is also considering building the new R.S 16 version, which uses the same engine and gearbox from the Megane RS. That means it has 271bhp and a manual box. We've driven the concept version, and it's ace - so we're dearly hoping Renault will build a production version.
Our choice: Clio Renaultsport 200 EDC Cup
Engines, performance and drive
The Renault shares its 1.6-litre turbo engine with the Nissan Juke Nismo RS, although it produces a slightly less powerful 197bhp in the Clio. It feels willing and urgent low-down, but the Clio's power delivery feels strangled higher up the rev range. It's not helped by the whooshing exhaust note or the sluggish gearbox.
Pull the 'up' paddle and the Clio pauses before engaging the next gear – it's faster in Race mode, but the shift times still aren't that quick. A long throw to the paddle's action means you're never quite sure if your request for another ratio has registered, either.
Despite this, the RS will sprint from 0-60mph in 7.1 seconds thanks to Renault's launch control system, which manages engine revs for you to make the best getaway possible. It's explosive off the line, but the anodyne engine loses out when it comes to in-gear acceleration.
Unlike lesser Clios, the RS allows you to fully disengage the stability control to explore the tuned chassis' capability on track. A £650 Cup pack can be fitted, adding 15 per cent stiffer springs and dampers, bigger 18-inch wheels with grippier Dunlop tyres and lowered ride height by 3mm – the result is plenty of grip to lean on in quick corners, although if you do push past the limit, the Clio isn't as progressive or communicative as, say, a Ford Fiesta ST.
Instead, the Renault responds better to a neat and tidy driving style, preferring you to place the car accurately with the well weighted steering. It's an impressive performer, yet it can't match the Fiesta ST for composure on the track or road. The ride strikes a good balance between control and comfort for a sporty hatchback, but big potholes do send thumps and rattles through the car's structure.
MPG, CO2 and running costs
The Clio is predicted to retain only 45.8 per cent of its new price after three years. In mixed driving conditions, the RS returned 27.0mpg, but it emits 144g/km of CO2, and that means a 21 per cent Benefit in Kind rate. As a result, company car buyers pay £926 per year at the lower rate and £1,851 at the higher rate.
Still, the Renaultsport is rated in insurance group 29E, which means a year's cover will cost £376 for our sample driver.
Interior, design and technology
There's no mistaking the Renaultsport Clio for one of its lesser stablemates. There are performance-focused design touches everywhere, from the gaping twin tailpipes and rear diffuser to the distinctive front end, featuring an F1-style silver front blade specific to the RS. There are bulging wheelarches, plus you can spec optional 18-inch gloss- black alloys (17-inchers come as standard) and £1,300 Liquid Yellow metallic paint.
From all angles the Renault looks every inch the aggressive hot hatch, with a boot spoiler, deep front bumper and RS badging transforming the curvy, regular Clio into something much more hardcore.
Inside, Renault has been less adventurous with the styling changes, however. The RS gets a pair of more supportive sports seats, grey-faced RS dials and some red flashes on the gearlever, doors and air vents. Other than that, though, much of the cabin is carried over from the rest of the Clio range.
That's no bad thing, as apart from some budget plastics, the Clio's interior is functional and loaded with equipment. Everything is controlled from the central seven-inch touchscreen tablet, with sat-nav, Bluetooth, cruise control and USB connectivity all fitted as standard. Large icons and clear graphics mean the infotainment system is intuitive.
The £295 Renaultsport Monitor can be specced, which gives real-time performance data on the colour screen. You can download your fastest laps from your favourite race tracks, and view different engine and gearbox parameters. It's a touch gimmicky, but is aimed at the younger audience Renault is trying to attract with its raciest Clio.
Practicality, comfort and boot space
Making a five-door look like a sportier three-door hatch is a clever trick. At a glance, it's easy to mistake the current Clio for the former, but Renault's designers have neatly hidden the rear door handles with a rising beltline, keeping a rakish profile, but adding practicality.
It means access to the rear is easy, and the RS's width at the back means the interior is roomy. The boot is big, at 300 litres – it's a deep, usable, square shape, and the seats fold easily so it's simple to enlarge the load bay to the maximum 1,146 litres. When stowed, the rear seats sit almost flat, too.
There are drawbacks, however, and storage space is one of them. It's fairly limited – for example, the glovebox is tiny as right-hand-drive Clios have to accommodate the fusebox.
Reliability and Safety
French manufacturers have traditionally been criticised for poor reliability and flimsy build quality, but Renault has dramatically improved in these areas over recent years.
It was still only the 19th best manufacturer for reliability in our Driver Power 2014 survey, but it scored reasonably well for dealer service, taking 14th spot.
Renault's fourth-generation Clio boasts plenty of safety kit, including six airbags and a tyre pressure monitoring system that helped it score a maximum five-star rating in Euro NCAP's crash tests. However, it isn't available with any autonomous braking safety aids.

Sprite Named Best Hangover Cure
Comments Off
(NEW YORK) -- There is new scientific evidence in that age-old search for the best hangover cure.
Researchers in China compared 57 drinks -- including a Bloody Mary, herbal tea, black coffee and Sprite -- and found that the latter worked the best. Sprite was the winner because it quickly breaks down the enzyme that makes hangovers feel so bad.
Herbal tea, meanwhile, was found to make symptoms like headaches and nausea worse, and "hair of the dog" didn't work too well either.

Alarm calls started to pour in to the Emergency Services from concerned residents after the explosions in central Stockholm on Saturday afternoon. But the initial information from the police was very unclear, it described two car explosions, but later it proved to be only one.
"A car at street Olof Palmes gata has exploded, we got the alarm at two minutes over five o'clock PM. Two minutes later, we received yet another alarm about an explosion from street Bryggargatan some distance away," said Ulf Göranzon, at the Stockholm Police.
A man was found dead at the place of the second explosion.
Shouted in Arabic
Police bomb technicians examined the dead man's bag by using a bomb robot.
Radiographs show that it contained a large quantity of nails and an unknown substance which is suspected to be explosives.
At least four ambulances were sent to the scene. Two people were taken to hospital with minor injuries, they had been in the vicinity of the explosions.
According to witnesses, the man shouted something in Arabic before the bomb detonated.
The Swedish news agency TT reports that both them and the Swedish Security Service received a email with an audio-file only ten minutes before the explosions.
In the audio-clip a man addresses "Sweden and the Swedish people". He refers to the Swedish silence on artist Lars Vilks paintings of the muslim prophet Mohammed, the Swedish soldiers in Afghanistan, saying that "now shall your children, daughters and sisters die like our brothers and sisters and children are dying."
Security Service: "A terrorist crime"
When the Security Service and the Stockholm Police held a press conference on Sunday, yesterday's bombings were officially entitled a terrorist crime.
The Security Service would not confirm that the email that came just before the blasts are linked to the attacks, but says that it is one of the things that are examined.
The Security Service also states that they do not raise the threat level in response to yesterday's events. The threat level was raised on October 1 from level two three, from "low" to "increased", on a scale of five.
The Stockholm Police is now to increase its "presence and visibility" at shopping malls and other public places. The police also asked the public to report observations.
According to the Security Service, the Council Against Terrorism may be called to a meeting during the day. The Council is a forum for cooperation between fourteen Swedish authorities, among else the Office of the Public Prosecutor, the National Criminal Investigation Department, and the Armed Forces.

Definition of cataclysm in English:
- Meanwhile, across the globe, there are thousands of families like his: slowly rebuilding, trying to make sense of a natural cataclysm which changed their lives forever.
- Many have noticed that poorer nations are more severely affected by natural cataclysms than developed nations.
- These are not the victims of natural cataclysms, these are the victims of human greed for power, violence, stupidity, and of man's destructive impulses.
- It indicates that despite the political upheavals and cataclysms of the past decade, the core of military professionals, who constitute the nucleus of the Russian Armed Forces, has been preserved.
- The country, he writes, has exceeded its 'limit for political and socio-economic upheavals, cataclysms and radical reforms.'
- He has never written a poem that addresses, passionately, or engages with, his own country's terrible political state, the cataclysms for centuries.
Early 17th century (originally denoting the biblical Flood described in Genesis): from French cataclysme, via Latin from Greek kataklusmos 'deluge', from kata- 'down' + kluzein 'to wash'.
cataract from Late Middle English:
Latin cataracta (from Greek kataraktes, 'rushing down') meant both 'waterfall or floodgate' and 'portcullis'. The first meaning led to the 'large waterfall' sense of the English word cataract, and the second is probably behind the medical sense describing the clouding of the lens of the eye. A person's vision is blocked by this condition as if a portcullis had been lowered over the eye. Other words in English containing kata 'down' include cataclysm (early 17th century) from kluzein 'to wash'; catapult (late 16th century) from pallein 'hurl'; and catastrophe (mid 16th century) from strophē 'turning'.

Creme de Cocoa and Vanilla Sauce
Salsa di Vaniglia e Cioccolatto
4 eggs yolks
¼ (one quarter) cup sugar
a pinch of salt
2 cups half and half
2 tablespoons crème de cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
Yield 2 ½ Cups
Printable Version
Make the sauce. In a metal bowl or in the top of a double boiler, mix together the egg yolks, sugar and salt. In a separate pan, scald the half-and-half just until small bubbles form at the edges. Carefully pour the warm milk into the yolk mixture, stirring constantly. Cook the sauce over simmering water until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Do not boil or the eggs will curdle. (Alternately and preferably, cook the sauce in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the custard thickens, 8 minutes.) Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the chocolate liqueur and the vanilla. Place a piece of plastic wrap on the surface to prevent a skin from forming and chill until ready to serve.

V HSI Collaborative Grant
US Department of Education has awarded a Title V HSI ("Hispanic
Serving Institutions") Grant of $3 million to California State
University, Stanislaus, Merced College, and Modesto Junior College.
Funded from 2003-2008, the project was conceived, proposed, and
supported by The Higher Education Consortium of Central California
(HECCC). The HECCC member institutions are: California State University,
Stanislaus, Merced College, University of California, Merced, and
the Yosemite Community College District, which includes Columbia
College and Modesto Junior College. With CSU, Stanislaus serving
as the lead institution, the grant's primary focus is three
fold: increase student success in mathematics and math dependent
courses through the implementation of "Supplemental Instruction,"
increase the number of students who transfer from community colleges
to a university, and facilitate related regional research.
officially qualified Hispanic Serving Institutions, CSU, Stanislaus,
Merced College, and Modesto Junior College serve a student population
who face formidable obstacles in achieving success in their pursuit
of higher education and have traditionally had a disproportionately
low transfer rate to four-year institutions. The three institutions
are building upon their history of cooperation in HECCC to address
this obstacle for all students. Therefore, the project consists
of two parts, inclusive of a strong regional research component
and is coordinated through a regional Title V Project Director with
the support of the Chancellors/Presidents, Vice Presidents of Instruction,
and the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs of CSU Stanislaus.
goal of Activity One is to improve student performance in algebra,
economics, and chemistry through the creation of an Academic Enrichment
Program using Supplemental Instruction (SI).
goal of Activity Two is to increase the transfer rates of currently
enrolled Merced College and Modesto Junior College students into
four-year institutions. Target population is first-generation, college-bound
Hispanic students and/or low-income community college students who
have enrolled in an intermediate algebra course and have declared
an education goal of transfer to a four-year university.
regional data collection and analysis is the third overriding activity,
which focuses on the goals of this grant project. This requires
tracking the subsequent academic success of the community college
students who transfer to CSU Stanislaus as well as an identification
and examination of the institutional obstacles that remain between
the colleges and university. The second regional research focus
is to measure the effectiveness of Supplemental Instruction in relationship
to student academic success. Ultimately, based on the research findings,
we plan to create meaningful institutional change to address institutional
barriers, measure the effectiveness of Supplemental Instruction
with our local population, and identify effective student support

I knew better; but, decided to try this bogus product.
Of course they ripped me off.
Not only does the product not work, it actually is painful and has opposite effect.
I told them to never send anymore product. Of course they sent another batch and billed my credit card $139.00
When I asked for refund they said "maybe" 25% refund (which of course they never did).
I had to return the package and now my bank will cancel the transaction.
If you like bogus products and huge hassles I strongly advise you buying some Code Red 7.
