I wouldn't trade Gus.
I don't want to trade either Gus or Tatar. But, If I were forced to choose, I would trade Gus. I would rather we take a real good look at both though so it doesn't bite us in the ass down the road.

I was listening to 97.1 the Ticket for the first half of the game tonight and he said the same thing to Paul Woods and Ken Kal during the first intermission chat. Followed it up with, 'yeah, we've got a lot of cap space, but the trade deadline isn't like the trade deadline 10 years ago.
Those of you looking for change, are outta luck from the sounds of it.
Holland, Stan Bowman and Paul Holmgren sat down for a conversation with ESPN's Pierre LeBrun regarding possible trade mindsets for their respective teams.
When the conversation came around to the Red Wings needs, Kenny Holland says the phrase we all know we LOVE to hear... (emphasis mine)
LeBrun wraps up the Wings section nicely by pointing out the Wings would like a top-4 D man, but that might be hard to get come deadline time. I'd recommend giving the full story a read.

His job was easy when he had guys like Lidstrom, Yzerman, Shanny and Fedorov. Add in no salary cap and players wanting to come to play here and his job was easy as pie. Now he actually has to be a GM and has no clue how to do it.

If Kenny can't realize that a player like Lashof is one the best current DEF and he's not going after top 2 D, he's stupid.
We need to get rid of; Q, Carlo the glass, White... and bring some true D
And where will these theoretical defensemen be coming from?
It's all well and good to say "OMG WE NEED ___," but consider presenting a viable plan of action when you do so.
Posted 06 March 2013 - 05:53 AM
I hope this is just Kenny not showing his cards, because that would just increase the prices come trade-deadline. This team as of now has no top pairing and not one top pairing defenseman. Every other team knows exactly, that the Wings do need one badly as do some other opponents in the East (especially the Flyers) but where are they coming from? No clue if people think Bouwmeester would be avaiable for anything less than overpayment they are in for some kind of reality shock. Not even Feaster would give away his biggest 3-4-13 chip for depth.
You can bet the Flames would be asking for a top prospect + a first or early second.
Although I am tired of hearing the crap about "the powerplay is our enforcer" (no it is not since 5 has retired) or "getting injured guys back will be like 2 trade-deadline additions" the team itself is average and average teams do not win the Stanley-Cup which should be the ultimate goal here.
Could the Wings need a scorer? For sure but their biggest need going forward will be a shutdown top pairing defenseman and a real enforcer.
Posted 06 March 2013 - 07:21 AM
Holland's job is to make this team competitive, and not sit back and wait for some magical healthy team. That never happens in hockey. Also, Bertuzzi and Sammy aren't going to push this team to the next level. That's what a good trade does.
So no, getting healthy isn't like a trade acquisition.
Regardless, as you all said already, trades are unlikely because no one wants to anymore.
This is why the Wings should sell some fat (Cleary, et al), and get some prospects or picks to sure up the team next season on.
Posted 06 March 2013 - 08:39 AM
Gus and Fil would get a good top six winger and maybe a pick in return. You have to give up quality to get it back.

We need a new GM. Kenny has done great things for us in the past, but we're not in the past anymore; we're in the present. In the present, we're mediocre. I don't like a mediocre Wings team. I want a superb Wings team, and in order for that to happen, s*** needs to change.

Posted 06 March 2013 - 09:47 AM
I'm annoyed. Not saying I have any idea what to do trade-wise, but for eff's sake...even before the injuries, THIS TEAM ROSTER IS NOT CAPABLE OF WINNING THE STANLEY CUP. I don't "like this team" like Holland does. Injury returnees aren't a "deadline addition" if they don't make the team significantly BETTER.
Other teams always seem to be capable of pulling off substantive trades, sometimes even for bargain basement prices.

If it was that easy, the Glen Sather and his free spending style in New York would have yielded 2-3 stanley cups in the same era. Instead, his higher payroll teams didn't even make the playoffs.

Nobody wants a player that has 1 goal on the season or a guy who is out due to injury. Ian White is the only name in there we could get something for, and we wouldn't get a 2nd round pick for him.
Gus and Fil would get a good top six winger and maybe a pick in return. You have to give up quality to get it back.
We could probably get a 1st rounder for Fil, but is a 1st rounder worth it?

I fully understand it take 2 to dance. But there is plenty of work for Holland to do with the players we currently have. Here is a good list:
1. resign Howard. Start at 5 years/20 million and get it done.
2. resign Brunner. start at 3 years/7.5 million and get it done.
3. resign Smith. RFA this year.
4. Resign Kindl. RFA this year.
Those 4 things should be done asap. It fills out your roster, keeps good young talent, and sets the amount you have to spend. Now you know how much can be added salary wise this year and in the upcoming off season.
Now start clearing out those not needed. Several teams are rumored to be looking for D. move White and Cola-picking up draft picks is fine with me. There is a deep draft this year, and draft picks are always asked for in trades. Now if we need to spend a pick to pick up a player we can.
Then do the same with the forward group. There are a few veteran guys that playoff bound teams always look for. Guys like sammy, bert, Cleary, eaves, etc....
None of those guys are going to get you 1st round picks, that is fine. But out of that group we should be able to add 3 picks between the 3rd and 5th round.
Once that is done we have a younger roster, more athletic roster, cheaper roster, and a bunch of picks. Now you can add pieces as needed. All of this can be and should be done over the next 2 weeks. Hopefully at the same time, more teams fall out of the PO race and the chance to buy improves.
Posted 06 March 2013 - 11:45 AM
1) Why would anyone expect any different from Holland or any GM?! I can see it now, " We suck at forward, I will tangle Kindl, Nyquist and Ferraro out there, plus any off the scrap pile (Cola, White, Miller, Eaves, Gator, Tootoo,Cleary) and maybe a pick for the right winger. Why? Our current group sucks. Sure I signed them all, but things change.
You need a commercial size coffee brewer, with unlimited refills, waiting on that statement.
2) Richdg said it best. Holland's first job is to lock up the UFAs.Both Howard and Brunner make arguments of being the Red Wings BEST players. After that, lock down this yound RFA D. < The BIG worry is not this offseason, but the one after that. E will be a UFA and he will want big bucks. and get them here or elsewhere.
As for "deadline deals" I think it depends on the mindset. If one believes this team can compete for the Cup, sure you may give up some parts to make the run. I can't get there from here. The team will not win their division, so you need Dramamine to follow them in the standings. 4th to 10th and back again like white caps on a bad sailing day.
I let this team roll as is until the deadline, take Holland at his word and, if a team calls ... listen.
Why? I believe this is a rebuilding year. I threw away this hokie season (yes a play on words.. sorry) before it began. 48 games, back to back to backs, 6 games in 9 nights , etc. Everyting will have an asterick by it. This could be the most painless rebuild in sport history! < glass half full approach.
I like this team and I really like the transition. They need some young blood with size up front and they are ready to spring back to the elite level. Many teams will need to jettison talent this summer (lowered cap). I believe that is Holland's plan. Reload AND rebuild. BRILLIANT!

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Boards (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/)
- - Looking for feedback! (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/51592-looking-feedback.html)
Looking for feedback!
Hello all! Looking for some feedback and any suggestions you guys might have.
Background: I've been boarding for ~6 years on the same board (which was a hand-me-down from my brother who used it for 3+ years) and I've decided that I owe it to myself to purchase a new board.
I would say I'm better than most riders as I can ride almost anything, but not quite at the expert level. I'm 5'9" and ~130 pounds (yes I am a manlet) and won't be getting much bigger as I'm nearly 22.
I'm looking for a board tailored to all-mountain boarding in B.C. (mostly the big white, sun peaks, silverstar, baldy area) If there's powder, I'll spend all day in it however if the conditions are sub-optimal I'd like a board that isn't going to suffer too heavily. Percentage wise I spend 70% of my time in powder and tree glades and 30% getting there ^^
I have no interest in park, rails, or boxes, but terrain jumps and drops are always fair game and I'd like to get better at my switch riding and spin tricks (although it isn't imperative).
Some boards I've been researching:
Never Summer:
T.Rice Pro
I have Burton Freestyle bindings, they're non-EST so no channel boards (your loss burton) for me.
I've been riding a 152 as I said earlier, but finding boards in the boardshops around that size is difficult and I think I may just have to order online.
Right now I'm leaning towards the Cobra or SL as the cobra seems to be better for all-mountain and freeride but the SL is a little more flexible and might suit my weight better.
What do you guys think? Any other boards you would recommend? I'm not opposed to a directional board either. If I were to buy a larger board, maybe 155 or 157 what difference can I expect (harder turning?)
I'm open to any critques or suggestions you have, thanks!
I would recommend this board in this size
Custom Flying V Snowboard | Burton Snowboards
I just ordered my own or
K2 Happy Hour Snowboard | Snowboards | K2 Snowboarding 2012-13
I do the same type of riding- Freeriding- IMO best kind of riding, the faster,the more powder, bigger jumps the better:D
I've been looking at some retailers that sell the cobra/heritage/SL and the shortest cobra and heritage I can find in Canada is 155, compared to a 151/153 SL there shouldn't be much difference in terms of float and handling should there? I mean, its only 2cm.
YES. SNOWBOARDS » Pick Your Line
Just got mine yesterday...nice fat nose/tapered tail for float in pow, but camber between the bindings so it can cruise down groomers alright too. I'll be up in Whistler end of Dec, hopefully you save some of that white stuff for me.
Pretty much settled on getting a 2012 SL for ~400 (1$170 off from retailer price). Just going ask if there are any last words before I pull the trigger on this thing.

As Dick Zimmer seeks to become a U.S. Senator, the 64-year-old Republican candidate says he is running so that state citizens can keep their tax dollars in their own pockets rather than sending them to Washington. "That can be done by cutting the cost and size of government and keeping taxes low," he says. When he entered the Republican primary on April 11, he promised he would "fight like a tiger to make sure the state gets its fair share of federal spending, but that the better strategy would be to cut federal spending."Dick Zimmer was born on August 16, 1944, the second child of Evelyn and William Zimmer. The family lived in Hillside, Union County. When Zimmer was three, tragedy struck when his father, a physician, died of a heart attack. His mother was faced with being the sole provider for the family. The Zimmers moved to Bloomfield, where in time, his mother found a job at the Sunshine Biscuits warehouse as a clerk.When Zimmer was 12, his mother married Howard Rubin, a laundry delivery truck driver, with three children of his own. Rubin would soon work for the Glen Ridge Post Office as a mailman. Subsequently, the family moved to Glen Ridge.As a Glen Ridge High School senior, Zimmer gave the commencement address at his graduation. His mother, who was suffering from lymphoma, was in attendance. Paramedics had to carry her to the school auditorium. She died a few days later.As a top student, Zimmer won a full academic scholarship to Yale, graduating in 1966 with honors in political science. He then enrolled in Yale Law School, graduating in 1969. He was also an editor of the Yale Law Journal.Zimmer immediately landed a job as an associate at the New York law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore. He would stay there until 1975, when he joined the law department of Johnson & Johnson (J&J), New Brunswick, as a general attorney.While working at Cravath Swaine & Moore and J&J, Zimmer was also chairman (1975-1977) of NJ Common Cause, the nonpartisan, nonprofit advocacy group and think tank. While there, he lobbied for New Jersey's Sunshine Law, making government meetings more open to the public. Working closely with then Assemblyman Tom Kean, Zimmer helped champion campaign finance reform. Later, he would serve as treasurer for Kean's 1975 Assembly re-election campaign.With a taste for politics, Zimmer decided to run for State Assembly in 1981. By this time, he was living in Delaware Township, Hunterdon County, with his wife Marfy Goodspeed, whom he had met while attending Yale, and their two children Carl and Ben. He won the election and would serve until 1987.In the Assembly, Zimmer served as chairman of the State Government Committee. He was an advocate for open government and Initiative and Referendum and was the prime sponsor of the state's original farmland preservation law as well as the legislation creating the state's radon detection and remediation program.He won a special election to the State Senate in 1987 upon the death of Senator Walter E. Foran. He would soon be elected for a full term and serve on the Revenue, Finance and Appropriations Committee.Zimmer would remain in the State Senate until 1990, setting his sights, that last year, on the House of Representatives for the 12th District. In the general election he defeated Marguerite Chandler by a margin of 66 percent to 34 percent.He served in the House for three terms, 1991 - 1997. While there, Zimmer was hailed as the most fiscally conservative member of the entire Congress by the National Taxpayers Union. He was also named a "Taxpayer Hero," on an annual basis, by Citizens Against Government Waste (in two of those years, he was named a "Taxpayer Superhero").His proudest achievement in Congress was authoring the federal Megan's Law, which requires families to be notified when a convicted sex offender moves into a residential neighborhood. The law was named after Megan Kanka, of Hamilton, who was raped and murdered by a convicted sex offender. "It was an honor working with Maureen and Richard...

The University of Texas-Pan American was the recent recipient of the most prestigious honor granted by National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA), which recognizes the contributions of exemplary individuals to the Hispanic community.
"This award is significant because the award recognizes UTPA's Hispanic outreach efforts at the national level," Dr. Jane LeMaster, professor of marketing, management and international business, said. "This award recognizes and commends excellence."
The University was recognized for its retention efforts, such as the Early Warning System, which targets freshmen and sophomores taking core curriculum courses, and the learning framework course which acquaints new students with college expectations. UTPA was also honored based on its tutoring efforts and partnership with South Texas College to assist students in transferring to the UTPA campus to achieve a four-year degree. Additionally, the University was acknowledged for the Hispanic Engineering, Science and Technology (HESTEC) Week event which has been held yearly since 2002. HESTEC, which takes place Sept. 24-29, 2007, attracts more than 45,000 students, teachers and families to campus while it serves to steer minorities into science, engineering, technology and math fields of study and careers.
The award, which is the most esteemed honor granted by the NSHMBAs, is given to outstanding leaders and organizations whose work and contributions reflect the society's mission to "foster Hispanic leadership through graduate management education and professional development in order to improve society," according to the NSHMBA Web site.
UTPA was nominated for the award by the president of the Rio Grande Valley Chapter of the NSHMBAs, Imelda Leal.
"I nominated UTPA because of the tremendous impact the University has made in our community and on Hispanics as a whole. Aside from the fact that UTPA educates more Hispanic students than any other university in Texas and the second highest number of Hispanics in the nation, I strongly believe that UTPA has played a critical role in the rapid economic growth of the Rio Grande Valley," Leal said. "The university takes economic development challenges such as low educational attainment levels and low graduation rates and implements successful programs to address and overcome these challenges."
Past recipients of the educational excellence award include Cornell University, University of Michigan, The University of Texas at Austin and Rice University.
"This shows UTPA is having a bigger and bigger presence on the map for quality higher education," LeMaster said.
The Brillante Awards ceremony will take place Oct. 6 in Houston.
For more information about the Brillante Award, contact LeMaster at 956/381-2976 or visit http://www.nshmba.org/brillante/.

Posted on 02/16/2006 11:12:36 AM PST by areafiftyone
FEBRUARY 16--Five days after Vice President Dick Cheney shot a hunting partner, a Texas sheriff today released his department's report on the incident, which investigators have formally classified as an accident. A copy of the Kenedy County Sheriff's Department report, released this afternoon by Sheriff Ramon Salinas, can be found below. The sheriff's report includes information provided to deputies by assorted witnesses as well as Cheney and Harry Whittington, the 78-year-old lawyer who was struck in the face, neck, and chest by the vice president's wayward birdshot. Cheney was interviewed Sunday morning, more than 14 hours after the Saturday afternoon incident. There is no indication in the sheriff's report that he was questioned about alcohol consumption by Chief Deputy Gilberto San Miguel, who interviewed the vice president and authored the report. Whittington, who was questioned Monday at a Corpus Christi hospital, declined to have his Q&A session taped and told investigators that "foremost there was no alcohol during the hunt" and that everyone in the hunting party was wearing proper "blaze orange" attire. In a Fox News interview yesterday, Cheney said that he downed one beer at lunch Saturday afternoon. On Tuesday, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department issued the first report on the Cheney shooting incident. (5 pages)
I am only going to post this much because the report is much too long. You can click on the link to read all of it.

Now the COPS are part of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy too?!
So long as he wasn't muttering anything about Jodie Foster...
Did you get approval from THE White House press corps before posting this?? Well??!?!?
Nothing mentioned about a homicide, huh?
>> Kenedy County Sheriff's Department report <<
Irnoic, huh?
The press is all over Cheney for not having held a press conference while his friend was still being evaluated. I suppose they'd rather he be left beelding for a day or so...
What's the problem. SOP for a Texas quail hunt.
Where's the BAC level report??? ;)
"investigators have formally classified as an accident"
Things you'll never hear:
"An accident??? Oh, never mind then."--David Gregory
I can't keep up with all the claims now, but didn't the NYT claim the police said they were turned away when they arrived at the ranch? I could have sworn I read this somewhere.
Par. 2 of the report proves that claim wrong.
>> who learned of a "possible hunting accident" from Captain Charles Kirk around 5:30 PM Saturday. <<
What idiot doesn't know his name is JAMES? Hehehe.
Can we put this stupid incident to bed now please? He's taken responsibility, the guy that got shot is okay, the police have determined no wrongdoing. Can we get back to looking for Natlee Holloway or something?
Captain Kirk, of the Kenedy County Sherrif's Office, received a report that the Vice President of the United States shot a lawyer, and the press didn't run with the story? 10:1 the Washington Post got wind of it immediately, and thought it was a joke.

Are they tapping my phones yet? Wooo hooo! ;-)
As if the press are not making up even more crazy theories.
P.S. here's more info (and hunting party names) for the timeline.
*Tinfoil Hat ON* FIVE DAYS! We had to wait FIVE DAYS to read this report? Why wasn't it released before it was even finished?!? I DEMAND an investigation into this! *Tinfoil Hat OFF*
Now if this were KENNEDY county instead of Kenedy county and it was the swimmer it would never see the light of day.

Were they 'Saddams'.....hee,hee......
>> a hunting party that consisted of himself... Jerry Medellin, ... Oscar Medellin... <<
I think I'll post to Daily KOS that Cheney had to shoot someone to be accepted into the Medellin cartel.
O shucks, they all are dancing in the streets that the Medellin RUNS things now...
Whittington not Armstrong
MSNBC: CHRONOLOGY... What happened in the Cheney shooting (All times ET)...........6:30 p.m.: Cheney accidentally shoots fellow hunter Harry Whittington while aiming for a bird............7:50 p.m.: The head of the Secret Service office in McAllen, Texas, calls the Kenedy County sheriff to report the accident. The sheriff asks to speak to Cheney, and they schedule an interview for 9 a.m. Sunday.
To tell you the truth I wasn't aware that the police generally cut people that kind of slack - well, now I know otherwise.
Thanks for the post. I have been reading the site a couple days for great info.
LOL...and the list could go on..and on:)
Now the COPS are part of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy too?!
Don't forget the Secret Service.
I note in your MSNBC link that they give all times differently than the Sheriff's report and realize that the MSNBC chronology is all given in Eastern Standard time. I find that illustrative of the DC centrict thinking of the media in general.
Well, no wonder! The victim was a lawyer, wearing a red shirt, and Captain Kirk's jurisdiction!
How do you think FR would treat it if it happened to John Edwards?
Well, yeah, but that goes without saying that Secret Service are all lying scumbags - in fact, ANYONE who carries a gun for law enforcement "duties" is suspect at this point.
LOL! I received that little number in an email today and just had to share it.
The Secret Service notified the Sheriff's Office within an hour of the shooting. They didn't choose to interview Cheney until the next day.
Since it never would have made the news, who do you expect it would have been known, let alone "treated"?
I don't recall the specifics, yet I understand Secret Service called the proper authorities - possibly the local sheriff. A different law enforcement agency may have heard radio chatter and drove out to the ranch. The gate keepers at the ranch hadn't even heard about the shooting yet and turned them away.
I didn't know you warrant Secret Service level protection - nice to meet you.
Did someone make sure the AP got this first, before anyone else saw it? If not then we will hear about it for a week or so.
It must be some new rule that the AP has to be notified of everything before anyone else.
Does the AP first rule give anyone besides me any onery ideas? How does one contact the AP with a story? I may have some things to report to them.
The kenedy county sheriff said he would have been finished sooner, but he had to pull an Oldsmobile from the pond.
Near midnight on Chappaquiddick Island, a drunk and definitely married Senator Ted Kennedy takes a right turn instead of a left. His car winds up skidding off Dike Bridge and is quickly submerged upside-down in salty Poucha Pond. His passenger, RFK office secretary Mary Jo Kopechne, is knocked into the back seat. Kennedy swims to safety, whereupon he fails to rescue his companion or even simply report the incident to anyone until the following morning. Because no autopsy is ever performed on Kopechne's body (her body had been promptly whisked out of state) it is uncertain how long it took her to drown, if she wasn't killed on impact. Likewise, it is never established whether Kopechne was pregnant or exhibited signs of recent sexual activity.
Just another proud moment in the history of the most corrupt demonRAT political family in America.
I've read conflicting reports but if the report on SG says its just the sherrif who decided to wait until the next day, then all I can say is that was very considerate of them.
How do you think FR would treat it if it happened to John Edwards?

Stetson Men's Soccer Head Coach T. Logan Fleck announced the Hatters 2012 schedule on Wednesday afternoon. The slate includes three NCAA Tournament participants from a year ago.
"It's a very ambitious schedule," Fleck said on Wednesday. "All of the boys on the team realize that we're attempting to have a stronger schedule than we've ever had a Stetson before. We know we're an unproven and untested team, but the only way to get there is to go through those that have been proven it in the past."
The 2012 campaign begins with a trip to Penn State on August 25. The Hatters will take on last season's Big 10 runner-up for the second year in a row, after defeating the Nittany Lions by a score of 3-2 early in the 2011 season.
Stetson will then stay on the road to play at West Virginia on August 27. The Mountaineers advanced to the Second Round of last year's NCAA Tournament and finished with an 11-8-1 record. The road trip will continue as the Hatters play at Houston Baptist on September 1 at 8:00 p.m.
The newly renovated Stetson Soccer Complex will see its first men's soccer action on September 7 when the Hatters open Atlantic Sun Conference play with a 7:00 p.m. game against Jacksonville. Stetson continues the home stand with non-conference contests against Florida International and Florida Atlantic on September 22 and 26, respectively.
It's then back on the road for Stetson, playing at A-Sun opponent Mercer on October 7 before challenging UCF in Orlando on October 10. The Knights advanced to the NCAA Second Round in 2011 with a record of 12-6-3 and were recently picked to finish third in Conference USA's Preseason Poll.
The rest of the conference schedule includes home games against USC Upstate (Oct. 14), North Florida (Oct. 26), and ETSU (Oct. 28). The away schedule features tilts at Lipscomb (Oct. 19), newcomer to the league Northern Kentucky (Oct. 21), and defending champion and 2011 NCAA Tournament participant FGCU (Oct. 31).
Stetson will cap the regular season slate off with a road non-conference game against Georgia State on November 4. The A-Sun Tournament is scheduled for November 7-11, as the Hatters are attempting to make the field for the 14th straight season.

Qualitative Research and the Generalizability Question:
Standing Firm with Proteus+
Margaret Myers, RN, BA, BscN, EdD (Cand).
The Qualitative Report, Volume 4, Numbers 3/4,
March, 2000
Qualitative studies are tools used in understanding and describing the world of human experience. Since we maintain our humanity throughout the research process, it is largely impossible to escape the subjective experience, even for the most seasoned of researchers. As we proceed through the research process, our humanness informs us and often directs us through such subtleties as intuition or 'aha' moments. Speaking about the world of human experience requires an extensive commitment in terms of time and dedication to process; however, this world is often dismissed as 'subjective' and regarded with suspicion. This paper acknowledges that small qualitative studies are not generalizable in the traditional sense, yet have redeeming qualities that set them above that requirement.
Changes do not transpire recklessly within the scientific research world. The roots of traditional research, which has become known as empiricism and positivism, dates back to the sixteenth century (Gale, 1979) and continues to direct traditional scientific inquiry. In 1970, Kuhn proposed the concept of specific paradigms, suggesting that there can be more than one set of basic beliefs, or 'paradigms' about what constitutes reality and counts as knowledge (Kuhn, 1970).
Paradigms provide philosophical, theoretical, instrumental, and methodological foundations for conducting research and, in addition, provide researchers with a platform from which to interpret the world (Morgan, 1983). The empirical paradigm holds assumptions based on the supposition that an external world of objects exist, that the assumptions "can be measured independently of one another, that these objects are lawfully interrelated, and that the relationships are mediated by a real force in objects that is called causation" (Cook, 1983, p. 78). Using scientific objectivity allows researchers to stand at a distance and derive knowledge through empirical study. In this way, "the knower can be completely differentiated from the known" (Allen, Benner, & Diekelmann, 1986, p. 25).
The approach of measuring and quantifying phenomena as distinct and analytically separate is at the heart of quantitative inquiry and allows inferences to be drawn about the whole from the analysis of its parts. Reality is conceptualized as two-dimensional and explained by cause-and-effect relationships. This "way of knowing" is deductive and emphasizes observing truth as a singular objective reality.
The qualitative paradigm aims to understand the social world from the viewpoint of respondents, through detailed descriptions of their cognitive and symbolic actions, and through the richness of meaning associated with observable behavior (Wildemuth, 1993). In this paradigm, which rejects both a cause-and-effect construct and universal laws devoid of any sociohistorical context, the separation between researcher and respondent is diminished (Munhall, 1989).
Kemmis (1980) asserts that the true value of non-experimental research lies in its connection to the real world, its ability to describe actions in their social and historical contexts, and its ability to rationally critique these descriptions.
Central to the qualitative paradigm is the belief that people assign meaning to the objective world, that their valued experiences are situated within a historical and social context, and that there can be multiple realities (Benoliel, 1984; Tesch, 1990). I embrace the conviction that realities cannot be studied independently from their contexts, and I affirm the position that qualitative methodology is legitimate and valuable, possessing distinctive characteristics that make it ideal for many types of investigations, including nursing education and practice.
Stake (1974) discusses a form of knowledge delineated by Polyani (1958), termed 'tacit' knowledge, and which is contrasted to propositional knowledge. I believe the understanding of these two types of knowledge prepares the stage for understanding the 'generalizability' of qualitative studies. Propositional knowledge constitutes all interpersonal shared statements and differs from tacit knowledge which may also dwell on shared statements and events, but it is more importantly the knowledge gained from experience with interactions as well as experience from propositions and ruminations about them.
Qualitative research has been criticized and regarded with suspicion and hostility, within the nursing profession and elsewhere, because its general characteristics remain poorly understood and consequently its potential remains underdeveloped (Adelman, Kemmis, & Jenkins, 1980; Sandelowski, 1986). A familiar criticism of qualitative methodology questions the value of its dependence on small samples which is believed to render it incapable of generalizing conclusions (Hamel, Dufour, & Fortin, 1993; Yin, 1984, 1993, 1994;). Those researchers forcefully argue for the value of every single study providing that parameters are guided by the goals of the study, and have met the established objectives. Yin (1989) asserts that general applicability will result from the set of methodological qualities of the study, and the rigor with which the study is constructed. Attention to such rigor may serve to offset some of the criticisms of qualitative research as a 'soft approach' utilizing subjective procedures that provides corresponding weak explanations (Morse, 1989).
Despite the many positive aspects of qualitative research, studies continue to be criticized for their lack of objectivity and generalizability. The word 'generalizability' is defined as the degree to which the findings can be generalized from the study sample to the entire population (Polit & Hungler, 1991, p. 645). I suggest that while qualitative studies are not generalizable in the traditional sense of the word, nor do they claim to be, that they have other redeeming features which makes them highly valuable in the education community. Partial generalizations may be possible to similar populations, but I feel that even this should not be a primary concern of qualitative research. According to Adelman, Jenkins, and Kemmis (1980), the knowledge generated by qualitative research is significant in its own right. The authors argue that, while the aggregation of single studies allows theory building through tentative hypotheses culled from single findings, the generalizations produced are no less legitimate when about a single finding. I caution researchers to bear in mind the goals of the study when evaluating the quality of research reports. Problems related to sampling and generalizations may have little relevance to the goals of the study and the reality of the situation. In many situations, a small sample size may be more useful in examining a situation in dept from various perspectives, whereas a large sample would be inconsequential. The goal of a study may be to focuses on a selected contemporary phenomenon such as child abuse or addiction where in-depth descriptions would be an essential component of the process. In such situations, small qualitative studies can gain a more personal understanding of the phenomenon and the results can potentially contribute valuable knowledge to the community.
Stake (1980) counters the claim that single qualitative studies are not an adequate basis for generalizations. He is speaking specifically about case studies and makes the claim that they can be a preferred research method, especially in fields such as education and social work. Few laws have been validated in those fields, and Stake recommends that inquiry be directed toward gathering information that has practical and functional uses rather than the cultivation of persistent pedantic laws (Stake, 1980, p. 70). He further suggests that such methods may be in conceptual harmony with the professional reader's experience and thus be a natural basis for generalization (p. 64).
In addition to concerns about generalizability, qualitative methodology is rebuked because studies are often difficult to replicate. Future researchers may not have access to the same subjects, and if other subjects are used, results may differ. Subjects (respondents) may openly communicate with one researcher and remain distant with others. The aim, then, is on producing research that can inform and enhance reader's understandings.
Stake (1980) believes the most effective means of adding to understanding is by preparing research reports that speak to the reader through words and illustrations. Reports should be prepared in such a way as to resemble natural experiences attained in ordinary personal involvement. He further claims that objective and scientific studies do an inadequate job of acquainting man (he is speaking of humankind) with himself and argues that research methods needs to capitalize upon the natural abilities of people powers to experience and understand.
Yin (1994) is concerned with rigor in non-experimental research, and while he concludes that studies do not require a minimum number of cases, or randomly select cases, he cautions researchers to work with the situation that presents itself in each case in structuring the best possible study that can be adequately described in the research report. Qualitative study lends itself well to this task.
A major strength of the qualitative approach is the depth to which explorations are conducted and descriptions are written, usually resulting in sufficient details for the reader to grasp the idiosyncracies of the situation.
The ultimate aim of qualitative research is to offer a perspective of a situation and provide well-written research reports that reflect the researcher's ability to illustrate or describe the corresponding phenomenon. One of the greatest strengths of the qualitative approach is the richness and depth of explorations and descriptions. Kemmis (1980) contends that non-experimental research must be prepared to meet two types of demands of justification: those concerned with the truth of findings, and those concerned with researcher accountability. In addition, he cautions researchers to beware of the 'attitudes' they will encounter from the empirical community. The first part of the attitude is scientism, which is described as the belief that one school of scientists claim to hold the keys to truth. Problems arise when such a group demands justification from other groups in forms that cannot be satisfied, such as asking the research group to provide guarantees which will reassure everyone that the conclusions reached in a study are not merely sound but certain. Another aspect of the 'attitude' is the appeal (from the group that holds the truth-keys) that their authority is logical and is also a form of a priori truth. They demand that justifications be framed in their own approved forms. Such attitudes can do much to undermine the self-confidence of novice researchers.
The mission of qualitative research, as I understand it, is to discover meaning and understanding, rather than to verify truth or predict outcomes. This is a puzzlement to many who are wedded to the quantitative research approach, and I often find myself feeling like a mythical Proteus, determined to 'resume my usual form and tell my truth'. Quite recently, a seasoned nurse researcher, hearing my research proposal, told me that it wouldn't be difficult to turn it into a quantitative study 'with some clout'. I managed to hold a strong picture of Proteus in my mind.
As qualitative research is based on its own specific epistemological foundations, it has its own perspective on ways to contribute knowledge to the community and to society. If a measure of 'respectability' can only be acquired by conceding to the positivist criteria of generalization, then the mythical Proteus will have lost his authentic form.
Stake (1980) proposed the concept of naturalistic generalization which is described as a partially intuitive process arrived at by recognizing the similarities of objects and issues in and out of context (p. 69). Kemmis (1974) points out that naturalistic generalizations develop within a person as a result of experience, may become verbalized, and may pass from tacit to propositional knowledge. Naturalistic generalizations have not yet, though, passed the empirical and logical tests that characterize formal scientific generalizations.
According to Stake, naturalistic generalization ensues more commonly from a single study to one that is similar than from a single study to a population. Consequently, it is essential that the research report is properly descriptive because as readers recognize essential similarities to cases of interest to them, they establish the basis for naturalistic generalization.
Researchers may embark upon qualitative research with different goals in mind. In addition to collecting descriptive information, researchers may choose to use the data collected to support or to attempt to invalidate theories. In nursing research, thick, descriptive qualitative reports are practical ways to communicate the effectiveness of specific therapeutic techniques. Effectively communicated studies involve in-depth analysis and systematic descriptions of small groups or situations (Becker, 1970), and are holistic, contextual, inductive, and relative (Bradley, 1993). It was through such reporting that the nursing researcher Delores Krieger (1975) introduced the well known technique of "Therapeutic Touch" to the world. Qualitative research has been described by Benoliel (1984) as "modes of systematic inquiry concerned with understanding human beings and the nature of their transactions with themselves and with their surroundings" (p.3).
Holistic by nature, qualitative research is concerned with humans beings in all of their complexities. The design of the study is dependent on the aims of the study, but it always includes an element of time. Contact is personal, lengthy, and there may be multiple meetings with respondents. From my experience, there have been 'aha' moments when I became aware of important components that needed to be examined, but had not been built into the study.
Those who are not familiar with qualitative methodology may be surprised by the sheer volume of data and the detailed level of analysis that results even when research is confined to a small number of subjects. Furthermore, a complete analysis can provide evidence for the relationship among variables and may stimulate additional research questions in the particular area of study.
According to Stake (1980 ) theory building is the search for pervasive and determining ingredients as well as the makings of laws. The descriptive qualitative study, however, proliferates rather than narrows. One is left with more to pay attention to rather than less. While Stake sees qualitative research as having some utility in theory building, he doesn't see theory building as its best use (p.72). Its ideal use, he contends, is for adding to the body of existing knowledge. Because of the universality of experiential understanding and the compatibility of qualitative research with that understanding, the ideal is to add to the existing experience and humanistic understanding of the reader.
The debate has emerged in recent years over whether qualitative or quantitative studies are better suited to advancing nursing practice (Munhall, 1982; Webster, Jacox, & Baldwin, 1981), and there is growing recognition that the qualitative approach is becoming increasingly valuable to both nursing education and practice (Bargagliotti, 1983; Downs, 1983; Goodwin & Goodwin, 1984; Gorenberg, 1983). There is agreement that the most rewarding results do not come from the ability to do extensive generalizations, but rather from the ability to seek answers to how persons or groups make sense of their experiences. Hamilton (1980) asserts that educational phenomena are different from those of the natural sciences; therefore, it is legitimate to address them with different research procedures. He claims that the value of a study is established by reference to the phenomena it seeks to comprehend and the understandings it aspires to develop. It seems reasonable to agree with Hamilton's assumption in regards to research in the area of nursing education. Such a belief is compatible with the view that educational circumstances are more social than are those of natural science.
Conducting research with people who are dealing with such personal experiences as cancer or addictions and describing such complex, interpersonal investigations are skills that are not possible to investigate with structured instruments. If a researcher were focused on 'measuring' such phenomena, it is likely that she or he would never really come to understand the process that is the real focus of the inquiry. While there certainly is a place for measurement and generalizability in nursing practice and education, it is best reserved for areas that do not require detailed descriptions of vulnerable life experiences.
Nursing and qualitative research share the mutual goals of dealing with subjectivity, describing the complexity of lived experience, and appreciating realities where holism and intuition are valued. Qualitative methodology is, therefore, conducive to research that attempts to understand such human experiences as pain, caring, powerlessness and comfort. Yin (1989), in discussing the case-study approach, stated that "the case study allows an investigator to retain the holistic and meaningful characteristics of real-life events, such as individual life cycles, organizational and managerial processes, neighborhood change, international relations, and the maturation of industries" (p. 14). This description covers the potential range of ways in which the case study approach might be used in nursing. When the aims of research are understanding, extension of experience, and increase in conviction in that which is known, the qualitative study is by far the better choice for nursing and may prove to produce the strongest data (Merriam, 1988).
Recent nursing literature has affirmed the value of small quantitative studies for numerous purposes which includes: describing the evolution of the expert nurse (Benner, Tanner, & Chesla, 1992); understanding meaningful nursing ethics (Parker, 1990); and recognizing the beginnings of political action (Sullivan, 1992). Benner (1984, Benner, Tanner, & Chesla, 1992) described the value of sharing narrative accounts that chronicle advancing understanding of the profession. Other studies report on lived experience and meaning (Leininger, 1985; Munhall, 1989; Silva & Rothbart, 1984); understanding the holistic philosophy of nursing (Baer, 1979; Leininger, 1985; Munhall & Oiler, 1986); the experience of the dynamics of truth (Tinkle & Beaton, 1983); and the appreciation of novice nurses for continuing education (Yeun, 1991).
Qualitative research, often thought to be pre-experimental, and commonly criticized for its lack of generalizability, is making valuable contributions to the nursing education literature, as well as other professional education literature, despite resistance. I salute the importance of the qualitative method, and believe that, to the extent that it contributes to knowledge and promotes action in the area of the circumstance studied, it is exonerated in the broader framework of social life. As advanced by Kuhn, there is more than one way of knowing, and qualitative research is one such way.
In communicating--or generating--the data, the researcher must make the process of the study accessible and write descriptively so tacit knowledge may best be communicated through the use of rich, thick descriptions. In answering questions, what counts as a question depends to a large measure upon the assumptions made by the interrogator. I have been asked the question, and I wish, like Proteus, to maintain my form and hold my truth.

1969 Bobby Jones Signed Letter With Significant Golf Content
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $1,856.00
One-page typed signed letter from golf legend Bobby Jones to book illustrator Anthony Ravielli. This extraordinary letter, dating from late in Jones' life when he was suffering greatly from syringomyelia ( a disease of the central nervous system), finds him still preoccupied with the game of golf. In this instructive missive, written upon his personal stationery and dated August 12, 1969, Jones offers constructive criticism to illustrator Anthony Ravielli, with whom he is collaborating on the book Bobby Jones and the Basic Golf Swing. Jones writes in full: "Dear Tony: The only possible criticism I could make of your illustrations of our book relates to the apparent lack of full extension of the left arm at the top of the swing, as shown on pages 27 and 28. Please compare these pages with the left arm of Julius Boros on the enclosed cover of Golf World. The photographs you used for our illustrations were obviously posed, whereas the photograph of Boros is not. Boros's clubface is looking a bit too much skyward to suit my style, but the straightness of his left arm is exemplary. With Best Regards, Sincerely, Bob [signed]." Jones' signature, penned in black ink ("7'), reflects his ailing health at the time and is somewhat shaky. The combination of his debilitating illness and his close working relationship with Ravielli obviously resulted in his simply signing the correspondence, "Bob." Included with the letter is the originally enclosed cover of Golf World mentioned by Jones as well as the original mailing envelope, which bears the printed return address of Jones' law firm, "Jones, Bird & Howell." Interestingly, the enclosed cover of Golf World represents Jones' personal copy, as it still bears the attached mailing label addressed to "Robert T. Jones Jr." Signed letters from Jones penned during the final stages of his illness (the symptoms of the disease were similar to ALS and left him more and more incapacitated as it progressed) are extremely rare. This particular letter, with its marvelous content, is certainly one of, if not the finest, Bobby Jones letters dating from his later years.

Here's an amusing story (click here) about how one of South Africa's internet services is so slow at transmitting data that a carrier pigeon reached its destination with the downloaded data before the internet transmission went through. (Well, I suppose it's not funny to customers.) As a bird-person though, what I found fascinating wasn't that the internet service was so slow that pigeon beat it, but that the pigeon could fly 50 miles in just over an hour. That's just about how fast it takes to drive the same distance in Southern California most weekdays.
I've never thought of pigeons as great, efficient flyers but perhaps that's because the ones I see are usually loitering outside Costco's food court, jockeying for position to snatch up a piece of fallen pizza crust. Still, I think my cockatiel, with his long, sleek and virtually wing-feather-trim-proof feathers, could take on a pigeon in a flat out race. On second thought, Gracie has absolutely no sense of direction, so he would never reach the finish line. (For umpteenth time, Gracie, the bird room is to the right; not left and on top of living room window. But you know that already …) Even if my 'tiel had a sense of direction, he'd fall for any self-reflection along the way (car mirrors, reflective windows, etc). Pigeons, I suppose, are above all that.

Celebs got their tan on during former Saturday Night Live star Chris Kattan's summer pool party at his Hollywood home Aug. 6. Matthew Perry held court with four ladies by the natural-rock swimming pool while Selma Blair and Adrien Brody mingled near the bar. As deejay Samantha Ronson spun beats, guests such as Jason Bateman, Patricia Arquette and Chloë Sevigny chowed on Mexican food. But the party didn't really get started until after sunset, when a few of the guests decided to go skinny-dipping. Kattan also got a surprise when Daryl Hannah, who mistakenly thought the bash was a birthday celebration, gave Kattan a present. "[She] brought me a piñata that looked like a donkey," a tickled Kattan told us. For the record, Chris won't celebrate his 35th until Oct. 19.
While FOX is considering the idea of having the fourth season of The Simple Life center around Paris Hilton's and Nicole Richie's wedding preparations, there may be one hitch: Richie says she won't agree to go along. "I would never put my own personal marriage [plans] on television," Richie tells us. "The great thing about The Simple Life is that it's a reality show but not based on my reality. It has nothing to do with my life or my home or my relationships or anything. I'm not open to anything like that." Although she and former pal Hilton have creative input on the show, Richie says she hasn't heard from FOX executives yet. "The concept is still under discussion," says a FOX rep.
Hilary Duff and her boyfriend, Good Charlotte front-man Joel Madden, went thrill seeking at Orlando's Universal Studios Florida on Aug. 5. Arriving at 8:15 p.m., the couple hurried hand-in-hand to hit as many rides as possible before the park closed at 10 p.m. At the Shrek 4-D ride, Duff, 17, and Madden, 26, playfully argued about their favorite animated character—hers is the green ogre, his, SpongeBob SquarePants. Later they took two whirls on the Incredible Hulk Coaster, then a beaming Duff cozied up to Madden to watch the nightly fireworks. "They were really affectionate with each other," says one onlooker. "She was definitely having a great time."

Watch: Brad Bird talks about directing Tom Cruise in IMAX for 'M:I - Ghost Protocol'
As long as I've been in LA, I've been enjoying great conversations with Brad Bird.
When I worked at Dave's Video in the early '90s, Bird was one of our regular customers. At that point, he was working on "The Simpsons," and he was already known by some film geeks for his incredible "Family Dog" episode of "Amazing Stories." At that point, I remember long conversations about pulp classics, spy movies, his dream of making either "The Spirit" or a SF animated film called "Ray Gunn," and much more. He was one of those customers of ours who really lived and breathed movies, who seemed to be interested in every genre and in every type of filmmaking.
It was little surprise, then, when I saw and loved a very early rough cut of "The Iron Giant," a movie that was a difficult political football at Warner Bros.
There was talk of a video release, talk of forcing Bird to cut big chunks of it for time, and a general sense that no matter how much Warner Bros. wanted a feature animation department, they just weren't willing to put in the time and money to really make it work. I reviewed the early rough cut, though, and that helped put pressure on the studio. When I conducted a huge free-wheeling interview with Bird, without any involvement by the studio, it served to put all of the behind-the-scenes troubles on the record, and Warner finally committed to a full theatrical release of the film that Bird set out to make. And while it wasn't an immediate hit, the film has had a tremendous second life on video, and is acknowledged as a modern animated classic at this point.
Watching his career since then, I'm endlessly impressed with the work that Bird does. He builds set pieces like a mad scientist, knowing precisely how to goose an audience along with one escalation after another. He's also great with character and theme, something that is not always the case in people who are good at orchestrating action. Bird's the whole package as a filmmaker, but because he worked in animation, it was easy for people to dismiss him. "He just makes cartoons" was something another critic said to me with a straight face one day. Never mind that the Anton Ego/Proust moment in "Ratatouille" might be one of the most sophisticated character beats in live-action or animation in the last decade. Never mind the endless invention on display in the way he crafted that island invasion in "The Incredibles." Nope. "He just makes cartoons" is actually the way some people think, and it baffles me as much as it infuriates me.
In making the jump to live-action, one of my fears was that Bird's voice would get buried thanks to all the other people in the mix, but "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" is absolutely overflowing with the sort of detail that distinguishes his other work. When I sat down to talk to him, I had not seen the whole film yet. It was the day after we saw an early couple of scenes from the Dubai IMAX sequence.
I hope this opens more doors for Bird and that he's able to get some films made that are very personal to him. I think he's one of the great voices in commercial filmmaking right now, and nothing would make me happier than to see him unleashed completely.
"Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" is in IMAX theaters now and opens everywhere on Wednesday.

Though Oahu is the most populated of the Hawaiian Islands, there are only four major hotel resort areas:
- Waikiki Beach – dozens of hotels ranging from basic economy to mid-range to luxury accommodations.
- On the North Shore – there's only one hotel, Turtle Bay Resort, which is an ocean front 4-star resort built on a peninsula and flanked by two beaches. The North Shore is our top pick on Oahu for a relaxing vacation. It's more peaceful than other areas of Oahu, yet it is accessible/driveable to many great sightseeing spots on the island. The resort has several restaurants onsite, but here aren't too many nearby restaurants outside of the resort.The North Shore's famous shrimp trucks are only about a 5 minute drive away. A scenic 20-minute drive to the iconic North Shore town of Haleiwa provides many other eateries.
- Ko Olina in the southwest Oahu – resort community with a mix of condos and hotels. The new Disney resort, Aulani has been very popular. The manmade lagoons at KoOlina offer a relatively sheltered area for kids to swim and play. There's also a Marriott Vacation (timeshare) resort here. In late 2015, Four Seasons Oahu is planned to take over the former J.W. Marriott Ihilani property. We like Ko Olina, but one of the very slight downsides is that we feel that we have to drive further to get to some of the best sightseeing spots on the north and east shores.
- Kahala Resort on southeast Oahu – offers oceanfront luxury in the Kahala community of Honolulu.
In addition to hotels, you can also find vacation rentals and bed and breakfast accommodations around the island. For solo travelers on a budget, you can find hostels on Oahu, too.
By far the most popular area to stay on Oahu is Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. This area hosts Hawaii's most iconic beach, hotels to match any budget, excellent shopping, gourmet and casual dining and most any water sport your heart desires. The urban vibe blends with the aloha spirit which perpetuates the popularity. Waikiki Beach suits vacationers looking for an energetic environment where there's a bit of nightlife. Waikiki Beach can be crowded at times.(See what our readers think of Waikiki Beach.) On the other hand, if you are looking for a quiet, calm environment for your Oahu vacation, we recommend that you stay on the North Shore, Ko Olina or Kahala resort areas.
Since Waikiki offers a huge selection of hotels to suit any budget, let's look at it a bit closer. As you might expect, ocean front resorts tend to be more expensive while hotels a couple of blocks away from the beach are much more budget-friendly.
There are only eight Waikiki hotels in the heart of Waikiki that are on the beach. They are:
- Hilton Hawaiian Village
- Hale Koa (Military only)
- Outrigger Reef on the Beach
- Halekulani (Oahu's top luxury resort)
- Sheraton Waikiki
- Royal Hawaiian
- Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach
- Moana Surfrider (Westin)
- I should also mention that New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel is oceanfront, though please note that this hotel is beach front, but not in the heart of Waikiki's shops and restaurants. It's close to Diamond Head.
Other hotels on Waikiki beach that have rooms with very good ocean views, but are directly across from the beach on Kalakaua Avenue are:
- Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort
- Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort
- Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel
- Aston Waikiki Circle
- Higher rooms at the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel
Waikiki hotels decent but more obstructive ocean/beach views:
- Embassy Suites Waikiki Beach Walk
- Holiday Inn Waikiki Beachcomber
- Higher rooms at Sheraton Princess Kaiulani

Relations between Israel and Turkey reached breaking point yesterday when Ankara expelled the Israeli ambassador in an escalation of a dispute about a raid on a Turkish aid ship last year.
The diplomatic crisis between Israel and Turkey, once close military allies, has set alarm bells ringing in Tel Aviv over its loss of erstwhile friends and its growing isolation in a volatile region.
Israel's ties with Egypt, another Muslim powerhouse, have been tested since the revolution earlier this year. Cairo threatened to withdraw its ambassador last month after a border shooting.

The WBA light-welterweight title defence is Khan's first since joining Golden Boy promotions after his split from Frank Warren.
The 23-year-old Bolton boxer - a silver medalist at the Athens Olympics in 2004 - is in no doubt the match-up against Malignaggi, who has rediscovered some form since he was beaten by Ricky Hatton during November 2008, will be a night to remember.
"I will have a real test ahead of me on my American debut at Madison Square Garden, which is the Mecca of boxing," said Khan, speaking at today's press conference in London's Leicester Square to officially announce the fight.
"I have fought there before as an amateur, but to fight there as a professional is a whole different ball game.
"I have a new deal now with Golden Boy Promotions, and they are going to get me the big fights, so I am looking at a bright future.
"I will start working with Freddie Roach at our training camp on Tuesday.
"We have watched a lot of tapes of Paulie, and we really think it is a style we can beat - with my style and his style, it is going to be electric.
"We both have heart and just don't quit."

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
The shoes are not very comfortable and the strap broke the first time I wore them in rehearsal. Poor quality.
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
Of course I didn't measure or look at the sizing listed to order 1 size smaller. They ended up slipping off my heel constantly and eventually wearing out the shoe even more. I'm sure if I ordered the right size I would love them! Ended up really strengthening my feet because of the split/elastic between the soles.

Cast fetes Fox show
There was a whole lot of lovin' and commercializin' at the "Time of Your Life" preem party sponsored by ESQ watches at Hollywood's Garden of Eden on Tuesday.
Cast members and producers of the Fox spin-off of "Party of Five" sported shiny new timepieces provided by the Movado company, and expressed their fondness for program star Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Cast member Jennifer Garner remarked after displaying her wrist, "Love is a huge reason why I did the show." Likewise, exec producer Christopher Keyser said, "Once you work with her, you never want to stop."
"It's amazing to star in your own show," Hewitt gushed. "But now I get a lot less sleep."
As dance music pulsed, ESQ models handing out entry forms for a watch giveaway mingled with exec producer Amy Lippman and co-stars Pauley Perrette, Gina Ravera, Johnathon Schaech and Diego Serrano.

It's been a week of playing Princess Charming for Carrie Underwood!
After granting a young fan his first kiss over the weekend, the songstress came to a chipmunk's rescue in her backyard on Tuesday.
"Meet Dale. My dog, Ace, tried to eat him today!" she Tweeted, sharing a photo of the cute critter. Luckily, Ace didn't do much damage.
"Good news: the vet does take care of chipmunks and Dale is doing fine!" Underwood continued.
But unlike fellow country queen Miranda Lambert, who has a habit of holding onto her strays, the American Idol alum assured fans Dale would be returned to his natural habitat.
"No, I'm not keeping him!" she wrote. "He will be released into a different yard with no Ace to chase him!"

GLOUCESTER TWP. — Five students and a school bus driver suffered minor injuries Tuesday in a crash involving the bus and a car, police said.
The bus was taking students to Camden County Vocational School when the crash occurred on Berlin-Cross Keys Road at the Atlantic City Expressway.
The students and bus driver were taken to a local hospital to be evaluated, police said. One lane of the road was closed for about 45 minutes while the incident was investigated, they added.
The crash was still under investigation by the Gloucester Township police traffic safety unit late Tuesday morning. No charges had been filed as of then.
Police were assisted by EMS crews from Winslow, Gloucester Township and Kennedy Memorial Hospital, as well as Winslow police and Lambs Terrace Fire Company.

National Ukuleles
The National Company are most famous for make steel, resonator instruments. These instruments produce plenty of volume. Even the tiny ukulele creates a huge sound.
The company began producing instruments in the 1920s and their design shows it. Some of the best instruments are designed in a heavily art deco style. Many National ukuleles will be engraved - sometimes highly elaborately.
The 1920s reso-phonic ukuleles are one of the ukes I intend to add to my collection once I win the lottery (admittedly, that's a very long list)

Bob Brozman has a huge collection of vintage resonator instruments including this ukulele. Even on video, you can get an idea of the volume it's capable of producing.
