Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2014-04-02/Special report
On the cusp of the Wikimedia Conference
The annual Wikimedia Conference is about to start in Berlin, hosted by Wikimedia Germany, which won the bid to hold the event over three others. This will be the fifth time the chapter has hosted the Wikimedia Conference—it did so from 2009 to 2012, with attendance ranging from 100 to 180 Wikimedians. This year 160 people are expected at the four-day event, which is mainly for representatives of affiliated Wikimedia organisations. The conference has been built around two themes: Organisation, structures, and grants and Success and impact.
The conference will start on Thursday 10 April with an all-day meeting of the Foundation's volunteer Affiliations Committee and a half-day evaluation workshop. The first day proper, Friday, will see sessions on the "State of the movement", "Chapters dialogue", "Free knowledge", "From ideas to experiments", "Lessons learnt", "Conflict of interest", "FDC feedback", and "Community liaisons". The Saturday schedule will introduce the sessions "Re-imagine movement structures", "Best practice; sharing is caring", "User-generated advocacy", "Strategy in Wikimedia organisations", "WMF grant programs", and there will be a plenary "Meet the WMF Board of Trustees" session. On Sunday, chapters and the movement's only thematic organisation will meet to discuss the selection of the two affiliate-selected WMF trustees, due to take their two-year seats in July. There will be sessions on "How to measure blood, sweat and tears", "Your organisation and hiring staff", "Program evaluation", "Diversifying fundraising", "Learning, development and training", and "Wikimania". The last session of the conference will be devoted to the future of the Wikimedia Conference.
Last August, Asaf Bartov, the Foundation's head of WMF grants and global south partnerships, summarised the purpose of the conference:
- An opportunity for Wikimedia movement organizations to meet face-to-face and share ideas about projects and practices and to discuss any unresolved issues that may have come up during the past year.
- A venue for one of the quarterly Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees meetings and an opportunity for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees and Wikimedia movement organizations to meet and talk.
- A venue for the Funds Dissemination Committee to meet to assess the funding proposals for Round 2 of the current year and provide recommendations on those proposals to the WMF Board.
The only change this year is that the Board of Trustees will not conduct formal meetings of itself, freeing up trustees to attend sessions.
The Signpost asked the event manager for the conference, Wenke Storn, whether the costs have altered significantly from the estimates in WMDE's bid to hold the conference. She said:
- Up to now, we are very well on budget and will stay below our estimate. The only position where we will exceed our estimate are the costs for the facilitators. The facilitators will support the program team in defining the conference themes, clustering the topics, creating the outline of the sessions, identifying speakers and session formats, as well as creating the schedule. They will brief the speakers, help coordinate the documentation, and work with the program team after the conference on the analysis and outcome of the sessions.
We have outsourced the flight costs directly to WMF. All chapters who have not budgeted for WMCON14 in their annual plan or via a PEG grant, are getting flight and accommodation costs paid. Flights are booked directly via the WMF travel coordinator. I don't have an overview on the current amount at the moment."
The two facilitators are budgeted for just over €7000. Storn estimates that 80 people will need paid accommodation at €27 per person per night, and has booked a hotel where all participants can be under the same roof. For those without funding there will be triple rooms with ensuite at the same cost ("which I think is much nicer than four-bed hostel rooms with a bathroom in the hallway").
The venue, Der Tagesspiegel, will cost €14,000. It has four rooms, all equipped with presentation technology and wi-fi: the main room seats 160 people, with three smaller rooms for sessions in theatre or U-shaped modes. Conference catering for the estimated 160 people will be €17,000. Dinner snacks at the chapter's head office will cost €4000, as will social events, with some €11,000 allocated to other costs.
Given the heat of the debate about attendance and the importance of some of the themes to the movement as a whole (see this week's News and notes), the Signpost asked Wenke Storn whether any sessions will be streamed: "There will be no live-streaming or video recording, but all sessions will be extensively documented (text, photos; supported by documentation volunteers and participants themselves), and will be shared publicly."
Storn assured us that the actual costs will be published after the conference. The financial auditing and transparency of events in which significant amounts of donors' money is invested has indeed become an issue. There has been a recent query by the Israeli chapter about absence of accounts from the Hong Kong organisers of Wikimania 2013, held last August; the Signpost has inquired three times about this matter since December 2013, given the three-month deadline for a financial report after such events. Last week we asked Garfield Byrd, the WMF's chief of finance and administration, about this matter and the staff costs for attending Berlin:
- I currently have an understanding in place to have a report on Wikimania 2013 completed by April 15, 2014. If the report is not complete at that time, then WMF is reserving the right to have an independent accounting done of the Wikimania 2013 grant and expenses.
The budget for the Wikimedia Conference is included in the WM DE [Wikimedia Germany] proposal. With this grant, WMF has agreed to reimburse WM DE based on actual expenditures for the conference rather than give them a grant prior to the conference. In this case, they will need to provide a financial statement for the event in order to get reimbursed. Estimated WMF staff cost for attending the event are $30,000.
The Signpost understands that this does not include staff salaries paid for business hours during the period of their absence from normal work. The WMF also provided funding of US$30,000 through its PEG scheme, with post-hoc comments on the budget by members of the volunteer Grant Advisory Board.
WMF Trustee Jan de Vreede said last week: "I am grateful to the German Chapter for hosting us this year, and also to all the volunteers who are willing to donate their time to participate. Looking forward to seeing you all next week!"

Sonnet 2: Loves Sweet Labours - Poem by David Wood
Two swans graced the lake with wings spreading wide
Gliding one behind the other in love
The sun glinting down the shimmering lakeside
Like a sparkling glinting turtle dove.
Two lovers walking hand in hand with one heart
Along the lakeside path, two hearts beat as one
Loves sweet labour found never to depart.
Two swans with necks entwined, loves bright sun,
Their white virgin feathers gleaming brightly.
Two lovers lips entwined in love face to face
Two hearts beating as one beating tightly.
A cool breeze blows windswept leaves that gently grace
The winding lover's path meanders along
The lakeside that loves sweet labours with a song.

Help me win a camera and get published!
I wasn't really sure where to put this but was hoping to get some help from fellow Nikonians.
I entered a photo contest sponsored by the local paper and studio. The top 5 vote getters move on to a studio round and then judges pick a winner. The prize is a Nikon D300 and your photo's published in the paper.
I tend to hate these contest's because it's less about talent and more about how many people you can find to vote for you. I wouldn't have entered but with a baby on the way I really, really want that camera.
You do have to register, and you can vote once per day. If you have a free minute I sure would appreciate you voting for me.

I have installed WordPress locally in Ubuntu 13.04 following these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WordPress.
I am now trying to install a plugin (wordpress-importer but that's no the point). I have tried direct installation or via upload, everytime I end up on the page asking me for the ftp server details.
I have figured out so far that this is a permission issue, however I have tried everything I came across on the forums without success, i.e.:
sudo chown -R www-data wp-content
sudo chmod -R 755 wp-content
I have also added the following line to wp-config.php:
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
I have tried copying and pasting the plugin folder in the plugin directory but it still doesn't appear in the list of available plugins.
I feel that I've run out of options...

Now I would like to get into creating content for these various sections, because as you will notice, nothing is in this area. But I want to go ahead and create the content, and what I have used to create this content is Photoshop. So in the Assets folder, in the design folder, you will see three PSD files that all pertain to the various sections. So I am going to go ahead and open those up with Photoshop. And here are my three sections, already designed out, I will just start with the About section.
Now, I notice that there is this text layer, I want to import that text layer, and I want to import just this simple Blog button that just contains this shape right here, and then also contains this text here. So that's my About section. I want to import it, and I will start with that one first. Again, I am just going to Save this file, nothing tricky going on there. But what I want to do is, in Flash, I don't want to import the content directly into this FLA file. I want to create a new FLA file, a new Flash file, and import that design, because when the user clicks on this button, I then want to load in that SWF separately.
So if I divide up the content this way, it just makes it more manageable and just easier to work with. So I am going to create a new file, File>New. It's going to be a new Flash File (ActionScript3.0), select OK, so these are my default settings. But all I need to do is first Save this file, and I will go ahead and save it into Chapter 04, and I will call this 'about.fla.' All right. Here I am.
If I click on Timeline, you can see that there is nothing in this file, and now I can go ahead and Import to Stage the PSD file. And Assets/design/Section_About.psd, select Import, and I get this wizard, which is nice, because I want to control how each layer is being imported, starting with this top one. This Text layer, well, I want to import it as Editable text.
This Blog button, I do want to create a movie clip for this layer, and if I twirl that down, I want to make sure this text is editable and that this is just a Flattened bitmap image. So in general, this is just going to be one movie clip. I don't need to import the background, because the background is already going to exist in the index file that this file gets loaded up into, so I will just uncheck that.
Down here at the bottom, I want to place everything in its original position, convert layers to Flash layers, and then I want to set the stage size to the size of the Photoshop canvas. Select OK. The content gets imported, and I can just change the color of the stage, the background. You can see, there's my text. Reads great, and I can always change anything I want in here now, because this is editable text, and then here's my button, that is of course known as the Blog button.
So that is set up. I will just Save this file. And now I want to go ahead and open up the next file, the Portfolio section. Portfolio section has more going on. In fact, if I turn off these layers, just to show you this Thumbnail layer, notice that it's going to contain multiple thumbnails. When you click on a thumbnail, a larger image is going to load, and so will more text pertaining to this image.
So that's how this Portfolio section is going to work. So I have done all the design work in Photoshop. It's looking really good. I will just Save the file. I am going to go into Flash. Just like I did for this About section, I am going to create a New File, and I am going to Save this file as portfolio.fla. Now I am going to File>Import> Import to Stage, this portfolio.psd file.
Select Import, and again, I get similar settings. I want to make sure my text is going to be editable, in case I need to change it later. This main image, I will just leave as a Flattened bitmap image. This thumbnail, I will leave as a Flattened bitmap image. And the background, again, I don't want to import it because that background is already in my index.fla file that this gets loaded into. And then just make sure you set the stage size to the same size as the Photoshop Canvas.
Select OK, and there it is. Everything gets positioned accordingly, and I can see some text down here as well. Again, I can always change that background color to see anything else that I might not see initially. I will go ahead and Save this file. Last section is going to be the Video section. Again, this is in the same design folder. I have these thumbnails. As you can see, I am turning them on and off, and then here is my VideoPlayer folder that contains this video frame, and then just this little Cross element, the design element.
So this is good to go. I will just make sure it's saved. I will go back into Flash and create my New file, and I am going to Save this file in the same folder, and I am going to call this video.fla. I am going to import this file as well, video.psd. So again, I am using this PSD file and I am going to control its import settings. The VideoPlayer, I am going to go ahead and just create a movie clip for that layer.
This vidThumb1, well, I want to create a movie clip for it, vidThumb2, create a movie clip for it as well. Lastly, uncheck that background, and down here, I want to make sure both of these are checked as well, so the stage size changes. Sometimes you will run into this. It says one or more library items already exist in the document. I don't want to replace any existing items, but what's happening is these two files have the same name, and they kind of want to overwrite one another.
So in general, Don't replace existing items, if you ever get that warning, select OK, and it looks like everything is in place. This is great. So this section is set up, and I can Save it as well. So those are my multiple sections all set up as a separate file in Flash, and when I select the appropriate button, that's when I want to load in the appropriate section, and that, obviously, would be my next step.

Skip to comments.Obama stakes claim on immigration law reform
Posted on 05/10/2011 6:24:10 AM PDT by La Lydia
President Obama plans to unveil a blueprint on Tuesday of what he wants Congress to include in a comprehensive immigration reform bill, according to senior administration officials. Obama is scheduled to visit El Paso, Texas, with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano as part of the White Houses increased efforts to return immigration reform to the national spotlight. A senior administration official told reporters in a conference call Monday evening that Obamas renewed push for an immigration bill was not merely a political move attempting to paint Congress as the inhibitor and the White House as the doer in the eyes of Latino voters ahead of the 2012 elections.
While it may be true that there are significant obstacles in Congress, we believe the American people expect the policymakers to do their job, said an official. So we do not accept the argument that because there are some in Congress who are unwilling to act that we ought to just wash our hands of trying to get this done....
Despite the new, more conservative Republican majority in the House, administration officials insist that legislative prospects have not dimmed. White House press secretary Jay Carney said Obama and his staff are congenital optimists about getting something passed, but acknowledged that Republican support for reform has ebbed in recent years...
White House officials are scheduled to take part in at least 30 talks throughout the country with community, business and law enforcement leaders on the topic of immigration reform over the next several months, according to the official on the call.
Building support and applying constituent pressure on Congress has been at the heart of the White Houses strategy in recent months, as the president has met with influential Hispanic leaders from all walks, from Hollywood to Capitol Hill....

open borders ping
"Reform" — odd name for surrender.
Yeah, like...
I want the border secured with land mines and I want all the illegals sent home. This is a gold mine for the communists.
The commie 'RATS still haven't explained to the American people WHY our immigration policies need to be "reformed". I don't think we have a shortage of poverty in this country.
IMO this is DOA.
It's simple: More Latino Voters for politicians who pander to Latinos.
Oh. You have written their slogan for them: "ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH POVERTY AND IGNORANCE IN OUR COUNTRY YET"
I continue to be amazed that blacks do not rise up in large numbers to demand enforcement of immigration laws and to oppose easing of laws making it easier for illegals to be employed here.
Study after study has shown that blacks are the demographic must affected by iillegals.
The majority of the jobs illegals take are jobs that blacks lose out on.
The mantra that illegals are taking jobs Americans won't do has been proven to be pure political bovine excrement.
Time after time, when jobs become open after an ICE raid, there are more legal applicants than there are jobs.
Americans of all races want jobs.
But politicians of both parties want to make cheap illegal labor available to unscrupulous employers.
The same employers give them quid pro quo in the form of campaign contributions, jobs for their relatives and friends, and high paying jobs or speaking fees for the politicians after retirement.
As an example:
In Florida, the state legislature just ajourned without passing a state law requiring businesses to use E-Verify to make sure employees are legal and using their own, legal, social security numbers. The state's politicians know that the tourism and agriculture industries rely on cheap illegal labor to hold costs down and won't do anything to endanger political support from either.
Exactly. Start up with daily trifecta of email, phone call, and fax to be sure your reps know where you stand on immigration.
Oops! "adjourned" not "ajourned"
Loathsome coward. He knows the House will never pass it, so next year he can paint the Repubs as racist evilmongers. The Repubs' failure to effectively attack Obama is this year's biggest disappointment.
Kick out the invaders and their kids,Secure the border,there is absolutely no reason why we can't do both.
The dems didn't want amnesty passed all the problems it's going to create would fall right on top of the dems.
The illegals are the dems useful idiots, and just like all useful idiots they are expendable.
The objective is to get the illegals to marching in the streets in protest, and for the protest to turn violent.
The leaders of Marxist revolutions perceive themselves to be too important to the movement to risk or sacrifice their own lives. They are the great leaders. Without them the movement would fail.
Let the expendables shed their blood.
THE THIRD WORLD INSIDE THE US ALERT Just "here for a better life" with no compunction about using votes for personal gain. He has powers under existing law to provide relief from deportation for certain immigrants, said Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez, (D-Ill), a Third World cheerleader in our Congress. Not that these scumbags care about US laws, but it is unlawful to trade votes for govt action.
GOOD NEWS REFERENCE The Pew Center for the People and the Press massive look at political parties, released last week, found that the gap between Democratic coalitions favoring stricter immigration enforcement and legalization is TWICE as large as the gap between hard-line Republicans and their more libertarian-leaning cohorts.....
Reform ... a good name for "mission accomplished".
President Obama plans to unveil a blueprint
Just like Microsoft blue screen.
It is likely he will do it by edict ... he has the power (in his mind) and he will use it. He is a tyrant thinly disguised. MO
An engraved invite was issued to the Pelcastre brothers of Dallas---the WH was pleased with the way the two undermined US ntl security.
July 21, 2006----BERGEN RECORD, NJ
Texans accused of selling counterfeit IDs (impoverished illegals "here for a better life" pay several thousand $$$ for fake ID's)
Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, NJ L/E authorities said.
The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses for any state in the US, passports and resident alien cards, said state police.
The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker.
Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. Authorities wouldn't identify the NJ hotel by name for fear it would spark retribution. The Drug Interdiction Task Force regularly runs checks.
The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. Authorities approached the Texas brothers when they returned to the NJ hotel and questioned them separately.
The Texas brothers consented to a search. Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs. All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 Social Security cards. ####
He needs the votes. Clinton pulled a fast one with making a lot of people citizens at the last minute to get himself elected. He had INS drop background checks and rush everyone in the process through to citizenship so they could vote for him. And they did.
Clinton delegated it to Algore, whose "Citizenship USA" program naturalized more than 1 million aliens; a couple of hundred thousand of those were never subject to a background check before they were allowed to become citizens, during Congressional hearings, witnesses testified their FBI background check requests were simply thrown away; another 100,000 who were checked and found to have significant criminal records were naturalized anyway. This was under the INS directorship of Doris Meissner, who "advises" BO on immigration. At that time, there were two — yes two — INS workplace enforcement officers for California, Nevada and Arizona combined.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane, La Lydia. Obambam is going to do the same thing.

Andre Lange and Kevin Kuske were the last Germans to win the two-man world title five years ago in Altenberg, that coming a year after they won it for the second time in St Moritz.
And if all goes to plan Friedrich and Baecker could be following suit for their first title as they hold a lead of 0.35 seconds Beat Hefti and Thomas Lamparter going into the final two runs.
The German pair, who have six top-three finishes on the World Cup circuit this season, comfortably clocked the fastest time during both runs to top the time sheets at the halfway stage.
Friedrich and Baecker recorded 1:05.59minutes and 1:05.51 for an overall total of 2:11.10 with Hefti and Lamparter posting 1:05.79 and 1:05.66 to come in 0.35 behind in second.
In a sport where hundredths of a second usually split the top five, let alone top two, Friedrich's lead would seem unassailable with defending champion Steven Holcomb third 0.77 behind in total.
Meanwhile British pilot John Jackson and former sprinter Craig Pickering are currently placed 20th at the halfway stage after showing improvements from run one to two in St Moritz.
They clocked 1:07.08 first time out before going half a second quicker while they also took 0.02 off their start while fellow Brits Lamin Deen and Ben Simons are six places behind in 26th.

….and other studies (also with very tiny numbers of subjects) fail to show that it causes brain damage. The problem with marijuana studies is that they're illegal in the U.S., so they don't get conducted. It stands to reason that bringing smoke into your lungs isn't healthy, and messing with your brain isn't healthy, which means Obama's observation (which is misquoted here to make it sound worse than it was) is extremely reasonable. He also gave a series of sound reasons not to smoke marijuana. But conservatives block that part out in their bubble-addled brains, because they have to pretend that Obama is a dope fiend.
The artistic and creative side of Ramirez's brain is well developed, too bad the logical side is not.
Cannabis is not deadly like alcohol or tobacco.
Alcohol damages the brain, which explains Ramirez cartoons.
There seems to be a need for far more research into the effects of .cannabis, both the detrimental and potential beneficial.
Agreed. However, the only way to run a drug study with reliable results is to use a controlled dosage on all subjects. The only source that is controlled in such a way is the stuff the federal government grows. But it is illegal to use that crop in any study. Therefore any conclusions of any studies done otherwise are unreliable. Catch-22.
Global Warming has much bigger surprises, and concerns than pot! Read Death Dustby Dana Goodyear in the January 20th The New Yorker. As pot goes, the threats include a recent rash of toxic events occurring in Colorado from "synthetic marijuana" i.e."spice" There was a good article in the LA Times covering the subject.
Pretty much… Marijuana can and does cause cancer just like cigarettes. Marijuana used long term regularly can impair some mental functions, particularly when started in adolescence.
THC stays in your body up to 30 days creating a nightmare for employers, and insurers. What happens when a commercial driver or pilot tests positive for THC after an accident involving loss of life?
Marijuana long term usage also gives the user a 19% increased chance of developing a bi-polar disease.
Alcohol and cigarettes both have their problems in terms of health and societal impact. So does Marijuana and it can be just as bad or worse than either in some ways.
Those who claim it is "harmless" are delusional.
The Obamanation's brain damage is obvious for all to see just by examining the horrendously moronic job he has done as "president." It IS about the level of incompetence one would expect from a stoner.
"…Because something stays in your system is not reason to ban it…" When you are in court, Juries will decide you are negligent. And Employers will not employ you. But, people on mj could care less about those things.
People have got to get with the program, marijuana is well on the way to legalization nationwide. One hell of a tax source and huge savings on ridicules waste on fighting it.
If it were nationally legalized you can bet the only people making bank off growing it will be companies like RJ Reynolds or Archer Daniels Midland. Taxes paid by those agribusiness mega corporations won't change a bit.
Also if you think the government law enforcement infrastructure that was policing it will disappear you are a fool. They might change what they are enforcing, they may not. Either way they won't disappear and the cost of them won't either.
If one thing about government bureaucracies is true they entrenched better than the armies of WW 1 were and are going nowhere.
Yea, sure Nantucket…
Two hundred years ago people thought tobacco was medicinal and just over a century ago people still thought mercury had medicinal value…
@Enoki "If it were nationally legalized you can bet the only people making bank off growing it will be companies like RJ Reynolds or Archer Daniels Midland. Taxes paid by those agribusiness mega corporations won't change a bit."
You're forgetting (or ignoring) the tax dollars raised by the sale of cigarettes. If legalized pot is taxed in a similar way as cigarettes, it would be a revenue stream.
Cigarette taxes are regressive. The point of raising them to massive levels was two fold: To offset the cost of health care and other negative impacts smoking has and two: To discourage smoking.
The result has been a massive rise in black markets and a steady decline in tax revenue from cigarettes.
Marijuana would be the same way, only the black market already exists.
Right wing radio, TV, and TEA have done a lot more damage to brains in America.

Latin America causes a stir at the Internet Governance Forum
What priorities did Latin America take in its suitcase to the first Internet Governance Forum? How did all the sectors participate in what was a pioneering event in this kind of format? APCNews spoke to Raúl Echeberría, executive director of LACNIC, the Latin America and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry.
A utopia called diversity?
What does diversity mean in the internet age? Linguistic and content plurality was the approach chosen by the organising committee for the Internet Governance Forum, which took place in Athens, Greece, from October 29th to November 2nd.

UPDATED SITE: APC Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) ICT policy monitor
APC aims to demystify internet policies and regulations with an updated version of an important web site that is the only one of its kind across Latin America and the Caribbean. The updated monitor site has a new design and structure, which makes it easier to search for the material that Latin American civil society needs to be able to have a greater and more effective voice in local and regional negotiations over ICT policies.
Is the environment taken seriously at the IGF?
At the Internet Governance Forum today APC held two worshops, while also taking part in the 'openness' plenary session. A quite intensive day that saw issues around copyright on the web, environment democracy on the net, as well as content regulation from a gender perspective debated by a multitude of people attending this first internatioonal multistakeholder internet regulation conference in Athens. An article was published by APCNews on today's 'Greening IT' workshop and some have expressed the desire to comment. The thread starts here, please comment.
Diverse voices.. heard before the IGF
Amnesty International is calling for internet freedom particularly for bloggers in countries "such as China, Iran, and Tunisia" Nitin Desai's statement on the "Balkanisation" of the internet also attracted quite some media. Another view, from the other extreme, it would seem, comes from The New York Sun, which says, Keep the United Nations's Hands Off the Internet!

2005 will be the year the Association for Progressive Communications remembers most for the World Summit on the Information Summit.

Lem's latest: Brook injured; Broner-Burns, Maidana-Thurman considered
An injury to unbeaten English welterweight Kell Brook could force the postponement of his scheduled Jan. 19 clash with IBF beltholder Devon Alexander.
An injury to unbeaten English welterweight Kell Brook could force the postponement of his scheduled Jan. 19 clash with IBF beltholder Devon Alexander.
WBC lightweight beltholder Adrien Broner could face WBO counterpart Ricky Burns on Feb. 16 in Atlantic City.
WBC lightweight titleholder Adrien Broner could make the first defense of his belt on the same night that heavyweights Johnathon Banks and Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell fight in a rematch.
Adrien Broner: "I know what fight can happen, and that's me and [Manny] Pacquiao."
Oscar De La Hoya says Adrien Broner "is Floyd Mayweather, [Bernard] Hopkins, myself…all wrapped into one."
Adrien Broner spoke to RingTV's Bill Emes while celebrating his dominant victory over Antonio DeMarco in his lockeroom. Broner says he's not ready to go to 140 pounds yet and thinks a unification bout with Ricky Burns could be a big fight.
Adrien Broner's stoppage of Antonio DeMarco was among the seven knockouts which contributed $3,000 each toward a Hurricane Sandy relief fund for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Atlantic City.
Action shots from Adrien Broner's impressive display against Antonio DeMarco in his lightweight debut, and heavyweight Johnathon Banks' upset stoppage of Seth Mitchell.
Adrien Broner on his knockout of Antonio DeMarco: "I don't try to knock out people, but I know that I have the ability to press them and get the cheese."
New Jersey State Athletic Commissioner Aaron Davis: "I don't want anybody to go to the hospital for a knockout, but if you're going to get knocked out, it's good that it's for a good cause."
Seth Mitchell: "I believe I'm two or three more fights away from a title shot. I don't think I'm that far away at all."
Antonio DeMarco: "It will be the talent of Adrien Broner against the hunger and heart of DeMarco. Without a doubt, he's a very elusive and intelligent fighter. But we came prepared for that, and even more."
Adrien Broner and Antonio DeMarco will be wearing Reyes gloves, considered the most advantageous for scoring knockouts, on Saturday night.
Fans give their two cents on the Antonio DeMarco-Adrien Broner showdown, ask questions about Edwin Valero, and propose legendary mythical matchups with heavyweight champ Wladimir Klitschko in this week's Friday mailbag. Enjoy!
Undefeated former 130-pound titleholder Adrien Broner spoke to members of the boxing press about his HBO-televised challenge to WBC lightweight beltholder Antonio DeMarco on Saturday in Atlantic City.
WBC lightweight titleholder Antonio DeMarco spoke to the media about his HBO-televised title defense against Adrien Broner. His promoter Gary Shaw shared his thoughts on the fight and staging the show in his native New Jersey.
Adrien Broner: "Critics are like butt holes: Everybody's got one. If I really just wanted to hear a butthole, I'll pass gas."
Former world titleholder Roy Jones Jr. will take over for the late Emanuel Steward as HBO's analyst for World Championship Boxing and its Pay Per View broadcasts for the rest of 2012.
WBC lightweight titleholder Antonio DeMarco will emphasize placement of punches over volume in an attempt to counter the speed and defensive skills of rising former WBO junior lightweight beltholder Adrien Broner on Saturday.
Adrien Broner on Wednesday's visit to the Atlantic City Boys and Girls Club: "I just want to put some smiles on peoples' faces, man. I just want to make somebody's day better. If I can brighten somebody's day by just showing up, and helping out and helping to clean up, then I'll do it. I would do that every day if I could."

Another tenant in complete agreement
AUTHOR: Another dollar sign - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, October 21, 2013POSTED: Monday, October 21, 2013
I am a previous tenant of RPM Rincon and I can completely agree with the above complaint. They actually pressured us, ILLEgALy, to move out early so another tenant could move in, made it impossible for us to be present for the walk-through, and then refused to return any of our security deposit. During the time we lived there, which was almost two years, the nasty mold growing above the patio due to a leak upstairs was NEVER fixed or even addressed, despite us making at least five work orders and countless complaints; they did not care.
let me add that we were good tenants, paid all rent on time every month, and followed all cleaning mandates upon move out. We had the carpets professionally cleaned, but they still charged us $300 for cleaning AND $165 for Carpet Cleaning. And yes, we had given them the receipt as proof that we had them cleaned. The new tenant moved in one day after we returned the keys, so how did they spend that much on cleaning in one day?
We we demanded they return our deposit or at least ssend us receipts, but they claimed that we had not disputed their charges quickly enough. Arizona law does not give a time limit, so this is bogus.bthey just don't think I will sue them because I moved out of state, so they don't care.
if you rent from these people they will smile when you come in and then screw you on the way out. Those of us with recent complaints should file a class action suit against them!!!
any takers??

Lauderdale County, Miss.
The Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department has received some new rifles.
The sheriff's department has been working on getting these guns for about a year. They will be used by members of the SWAT unit.
The LWRC 6.8 rifles were purchased through seized funds and community donations.
SWAT members qualified with those guns Wednesday.
Lauderdale County is the first agency in the nation to receive these rifles for use for by its SWAT members.
"As first responders, we periodically look at the weapons we carry, the ammunition we use, to make the best determination as to what will serve us best and serve our community best," said Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun.
Calhoun says these rifles will help the SWAT team be prepared in case it has to respond to a call where an individual may be armed with weapons that have high-capacity magazines.

Meet the chef: Kyle Rourke
We know the Chef is the mastermind behind the whole operation….so let's take a minute to meet the Chef at Hotel Monaco Portland. Known for his big ideas and creative takes on everything from comfort food to Asian street fare, Chef Kyle Rourke belongs in the kitchen — something he must've known early on, given that he started working in restaurants as a teenager. It wasn't all glamour, but he worked his way up the ranks from dishwasher to pizzeria owner to the role he was destined for: executive chef. Although he grew up outside of Philadelphia, he fits in perfectly in Portland, thanks to his commitment to source from local, organic, sustainable farmers, fishers, and producers. That gives Red Star Tavern ingredients like five types of organic goat milk cheese, which translates to fresh, flavorful meals that bring the bounty of the area straight to your plate.

It makes you feel proud don't it! I just think Wenger has done so much for our club! I just roughly tallied up what our players would probably go for today and I think our squad would probably go for £160 million if (god forbid) They were all sold! Mind you if it was Chelsea doing the buying they would probably bid £300 million!! Ah chelsea the only club htat would give you 50 quid for a tenner!!

After Alonso for Liverpool you have undisclosed. I think it was around 14mill for him, because Liverpool bought him just when it looked like Vieira might go to Real, and I remember thinking that Liverpool had got a good deal.

True I guess you could add at least another 10 mil onto their transfer for cole then! I am going to keep an eye on their spending over the next season and let you all know when their squad value exceeds our stadium price!! (I don't think it will be long at this rate!!!

Very interresting, I wasn't far off with my guess of £50m. Pound for pound must be the best squad in club football, all thanks to Wengers brilliance. And you have not even added in guys like Behdtner etc who cost nothing and must be worth a few bob... the really interresting stat would be value created ( what they were bought for and what they would be worth to a purchaser now) probably every one of wengers team would be worth more.. not sure you could say that of the others.
In the end though its all about producing football that the fans enjoy and that wins things. whilst we didn't win anything last year, i'd back us to get something out of the prem or CL this year. We will I hope with a few more wins under the belt become a much more confident team, still a bit leaky at the back and letting too many chances slip past us for my moneybut they are getting better and better and now the international merry go round is over we should have a good five months ahead of us. Looking forward (with a degree of trepidation) to the Watford game. Hope we put them to the sword but would settle for a solid and old fashioned one nil in a hard fought contest.
My prediction is they'll stick men behind the ball, we'll have over 65% possession and 10 or so shots on goal, I just hope one or two go in and we are not too ellaborate with the final ball.

As Requested here is the Tottenham squad with the list of (approximate!!) prices paid for players:
Paul Robinson £1.5m
Chimbonda £5.0m
Dawson £3.3m
Lee Young Pyo £2.05m
Callum Davenport £1.1m
Anthony Gardener £1.0m
Zokora £8.0m
Jenas £7.0m
Danny Murphy £2.0m
Ghaly £2.0m
Malbranque £3.0m
Aaron Lennon £1.0m (bargain!!!)
Berbatov £10.89m
Robbie Keane £7.0m
Jermaine Defoe £6.0m
Mido £4.0m
Total: £64.84 million
Over £10million more than what we've spent! I do think though to contradict myself in a previous thread about no cheap English players Aaron Lennon does show that they are rare but they are there!!

"An entangled affair" Venice by Sjalen
Venice Travel Guide: 8,406 reviews and 22,526 photos
Trying to keep our expectations down as the train crossed the bridge from Mestre, in order not to be disappointed by the smell of stale canals, hoards of loud tourists and the pickpockets trying to fool us all. Thinking that maybe, maybe this would nevertheless be the great destination everyone keeps marvelling about and that we had wanted to see since childhood. The place we had already seen in so many films and TV series.
We exit the railway station. SMACK!!! Venice hits you with full power as you find yourself on the steps down from the station, Canal Grande laid out in front of you and full of vaporetti, gondolas and little barges full of beverages. Has passion ever hit me in two seconds flat before? Because this is something else, something not like anywhere else in this world. A world to itself. A place where boats run the show and there is not a car in sight. A place where people walk everywhere they do not go by boat. Grand palaces can be found all over Italy and although the Venetian ones impress, this is not what is striking. Instead, it is the fact that if you call an ambulance, a boat turns up and when you have your garbage collected it is by boat! I also love the feeling of being in a film again that I haven't had since Sicily. Not only do you recognise settings here, you also have a curious mix of happy waiters and intellectual tourists despite the crowds. It is as if everyone has decided to behave their best and enjoy themselves. This is LIFE and I want to be a part of it again and again and again...I am entangled getting lost in canals, my finger is entangled in plasters since Verona and I am emotionally entangled in tiny alleys and gondolier singers doing Tom Jones' "Sex Bomb" when I thought they would do "O Sole Mio".
People kept saying Venice would be expensive. Whilst I certainly agree that when looking for accommodation I kept having to raise my maximum cost level all the time to find something family friendly (but would never stay in Mestre since then you lose the whole point of going to Venice), for the rest, I don't completely agree. Sure, it costs a lot of money to go here but when you compare it to other cities in the Veneto, it is cheaper than for instance classy Verona in many cases. The only thing is you might not always get the same QUALITY for your money as elsewhere (particularly on food) since it is easy to get money coming in on average food and ambience as long as it is by a canal...But, again, shopping in the Cannaregio district turned out to be much cheaper than Verona and even in some of the exclusive San Marco shops you could make a bargain. Just try to avoid eating there as Venice has so many more exciting areas to dine in.
This Venice page is one of my pages where I have opted to include some sights I never had time to visit. The reason is of course to show you as many pictures as possible of this very visually pleasing city. I have however made it clear when I haven't visited a tip. Hopefully, there will be plenty of time next time around :)
- Pros:gorgeous, fun, very unusual, shopping galore, water everywhere
- Cons:crowded, humid, expensive accommodation
- In a nutshell:Seeing is believing!

You're so right! There's nothing like walking out of the train station in Venice and laying eyes on Venice, in all its glory!
Great pages,and some lovely photos,thanks for your tip on rooms
Great Pages, Mike
Great pages. Loved the Children and Venice travelogue: I think there is a little kid in all of us that responds to all the sights, but especially yo the gondolas!
Great page about Venice...and pictures,too...
Charlotta, excellent start about Venice. I wanted to go to Burano as well, but only made it to Murano, Lido and Cimitero. Keep up the good work and sleep well .... ;-)

AbstractA new lignan glycoside, tianshanoside A (1), together with a known phenylpropanoid glycoside, syringin (2) and two known lignan glycosides, picraquassioside C (3), and aketrilignoside B (4), were isolated from the whole plant of Viola tianshanica Maxim. The structure of the new compound was elucidated by extensive NMR (1H, 13C, COSY, HSQC, HMBC and ROESY) and high resolution mass spectrometry analysis. The three lignans 1, 3, and 4 did not exhibit significant cytotoxicity against human gastric cancer Ags cells or HepG2 liver cancer cells. This is the first report of the isolation of a lignan skeleton from the genus Viola L.

Donaire Drops Vazquez, Wins Decision and WBO Title
By Osman Rodriguez
Alamodome, San Antonio, Texas - In his first fight at 122-pounds, Nonito Donaire (28-1, 18 KO) won a twelve round split decision over Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (21-2-1, 18 KO) to capture the vacant WBO super bantamweight title. The judges had it 115-112 for Vazquez, and two scores of 117-110 for Donaire. No clue how a judge could have this fight 115-112 for Vazquez.
From the opening bell, Donaire was the sharper, busier and more accurate fighter. Donaire lets his hands go in the third round, after stunning Vazquez with a looping left hand. Vazquez fought his way off the ropes and stayed defensive. In the fourth and fifth, Vazquez was sticking to his left jab but still getting punished with harder punches. In the sixth, Donaire's eyes were starting to show some bruising from Vazquez's jabs. Donaire started switching to southpaw to give Vazquez a different look.
Vazquez became braver in the seventh round and started fighting Donaire on the inside. In the ninth round, Donaire landed a three punch combination to send Vazquez down for the first time in his career. The Puerto Rican boxer made it to the bell. In the three remaining hards, Donaire continued to work harder and his punches were more accurate.

Vazquez looked like he wanted to cry when he was at his corner after the third round. I thought the fight was a twelve round beat down.Comment by DominiBox on 02-05-2012

[QUOTE=damit305;11747581]Could have Ramos came in scared to fight? Very much likely.
