For all of Dan Quinn's background as a defensive specialist, the Atlanta Falcons' second-year coach is fielding an offense about as good as anyone right now.
Matt Ryan has been efficient. Running backs Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman are wearing down defenses while keeping one another fresh. The offensive line is winning praise for its run-blocking and pass-protection. And the Falcons are outscoring even explosive opponents, as they did in a 45-32 triumph over the New Orleans Saints on Monday night.
"We wanted to stay aggressive and keep attacking," Quinn said. "The team did a very nice job of mixing up the run and pass."
It was a satisfying...

The fanboy interwebs are all ablaze with the news that Disney has reached an agreement to acquire Marvel. The immediate knee jerk reaction of is "AHHHHH! THE DISNEYFICATION OF MARVEL!!!! AHHHHH!!" However, that's probably not be the case.
Let us keep in mind that Disney has a long and storied history of gobbling up brands when they see an opportunity for growth. Case in point is Pixar. Disney bought Pixar a fews years ago and so far so good. The mouse has remained, pretty much, hands off. They've just let Pixar do their Pixar thing while they sit back and count the dough with their three fingered, white gloved hands. In the investor conference call Disney repeatedly sighted the Pixar deal as a model for the new Marvel agreement, which is good news for Marvel fans.
Disney would be well advised to do the same with Marvel, especially the publishing division. Go ahead and mine the library of 5000 characters for movie and licensing deals, but leave the comic books alone. If they start messing around with the day to day workings of the editorial offices the fanboy revolt will be epic. I wouldn't worry about that, though. Disney didn't lay out a fat $4 billion for the profitable, but in the grand scheme of things small, publishing division. They want the licensing.
Marvel has managed to build itself into a multi-billion dollar licensing power house. Movies, toys, toothpaste, pajamas... you name it and Marvel will sell you a license to slap Spider-Man on it. That's where the growth is. Not to mention the movie division. Marvel has an existing distribution agreement with Paramount that Disney says it will honor...for now. They do intend to eventually become the sole distributor of Marvel movies. It remains to be seen how hands on they'll be in terms of the content of those films.
I'll post the press release below and a few links to comics journalists way smarter than me to provide some analysis.
The press release:
Worldwide leader in family entertainment agrees to acquire Marvel and its portfolio of over 5,000 characters
BURBANK, Calif. & NEW YORK, Aug 31, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- --Acquisition highlights Disney's strategic focus on quality branded content, technological innovation and international expansion to build long-term shareholder value
Building on its strategy of delivering quality branded content to people around the world, The Walt Disney Company (DIS) has agreed to acquire Marvel Entertainment, Inc. (MVL) in a stock and cash transaction, the companies announced today.
Under the terms of the agreement and based on the closing price of Disney on August 28, 2009, Marvel shareholders would receive a total of $30 per share in cash plus approximately 0.745 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own. At closing, the amount of cash and stock will be adjusted if necessary so that the total value of the Disney stock issued as merger consideration based on its trading value at that time is not less than 40% of the total merger consideration.
Based on the closing price of Disney stock on Friday, August 28, the transaction value is $50 per Marvel share or approximately $4 billion.
"This transaction combines Marvel's strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney's creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories," said Robert A. Iger, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company. "Ike Perlmutter and his team have done an impressive job of nurturing these properties and have created significant value. We are pleased to bring this talent and these great assets to Disney."
"We believe that adding Marvel to Disney's unique portfolio of brands provides significant opportunities for long-term growth and value creation," Iger said.
"Disney is the perfect home for Marvel's fantastic library of characters given its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing businesses," said Ike Perlmutter, Marvel's Chief Executive Officer. "This is an unparalleled opportunity for Marvel to build upon its vibrant brand and character properties by accessing Disney's tremendous global organization and infrastructure around the world."
Under the deal, Disney will acquire ownership of Marvel including its more than 5,000 Marvel characters. Mr. Perlmutter will oversee the Marvel properties, and will work directly with Disney's global lines of business to build and further integrate Marvel's properties.
The Boards of Directors of Disney and Marvel have each approved the transaction, which is subject to clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, certain non-United States merger control regulations, effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to Disney shares issued in the transaction and other customary closing conditions. The agreement will require the approval of Marvel shareholders. Marvel was advised on the transaction by BofA Merrill Lynch.

Volunteering against HIV/Aids
18 May 2007
by Charles Mpaka
James Kalako is chairperson of a youth club on HIV/Aids in Mulanje, Malawi. He is a volunteer trainer in carpentry. A Form 2 drop out almost three years ago, he intends to sit for Junior Certificate examinations. Kalako also thinks he is now in a better position to define what good things lie ahead for him. All this courtesy of Thuchila Community Based Organisation (CBO).
"This group lifted me out of despair. I don't have parents. I used to see life through shattered spectacles," said the young boy. "But for three years now, I have seen my life reshaping and becoming more meaningful. Now I know I can do something with myself, do something for my relations and my friends."
Some of Kalako's friends gather at the centre everyday. Here they are shaped and sharpened into carpenters, tailors and tinsmiths. They also accompany Kalako on an arduous errand of criss-crossing 12 villages with loads of life-changing information.
The office can perfectly pass for a wretched member of some populous slum location in town. It's at Nkando market in Mulanje. Situated right along Robert Mugabe Highway, the centre is nearly opposite the house on the other side of the road of Patricia Kaliati, Member of Parliament for the area and Minister of Information and Civic Education.
It is, however, entirely wrong to judge the works of the CBO by the wretched appearance of the building. Thuchila CBO is purely a volunteer initiative, born out of the minds of and managed by village people.
"We were moved by the problem of orphans in our villages particularly because of HIV/Aids," said James Mlanje, chairperson of the group. "So we decided to come together and provide whatever services we could."
The group is managed by an executive committee of 12 members, one from each of the 12 target villages. Each village has a committee working together with the central executive.
"We have orphans in our villages who are heads of their families but they have no means of support. We train them in various skills so that they may employ themselves and take care of their families," Chigwenembe said.
On completion of the free training, the graduates are given free sets of tools and materials according to their trade. This is to help them launch their businesses. Up to this point, 21 young women and men have graduated. Another group of 15 is undergoing training.
At the core of the project is the subject of HIV/Aids.
"We travel to villages and assist in taking care of HIV/Aids patients, spreading HIV messages and trying to change attitudes associated with the epidemic," said vice chairperson Fainess Kafere. "It's not an easy job but we knew long before we would meet challenges. The fact that we decided to do this on volunteer basis is even more trying as some people laugh at us saying we can't commit ourselves this much without getting any payment. But this is how we chose to work. We're delighted we're useful."
The fruits of the group's efforts include a support group of People Living with HIV/Aids (PLWHA). The PLWHAs meet to discuss their plight and share information on experiences pertaining to their condition. Another of the group's products is a youth club led by Kalako.
Apart from spreading HIV/Aids messages, the club manages tree nurseries for the club's village afforestation programme. It organises fundraising activities and open days to promote interaction and exchange of information among young people.
"We advise young people against rushing into marriages instead of continuing with education, learning some trade and joining youth clubs. We tell them things that have changed our life courses," Kalako said.
UNAids says: "Working in partnership with young people is the best hope of containing the epidemic. As well as being a resource to tap into for idealism and energy, young people's ideas and values are not always set, and they can be more willing to question and change social norms and behaviour than adults."
According to Kalako, their group is registering some successes.
Furthermore, the CBO runs free nursery schools, one in each of the 12 villages. They have over 250 children in all the schools together.
"We decided to include this component in our programme to relieve parents and guardians. With this facility available, we believe they can find time to work in their fields, participate in community development projects and of course properly care for the sick in their homes," said Chigwenembe.
To have the people accept the activities of the organisation was initially very difficult. But things are changing.
"People now see the impact this group is making," said Edith Winesi, secretary of the CBO.
"They see how useful the nursery schools have become. We're looking after HIV/Aids patients. We also help take such patients, expectant women and others to hospital using our bicycle ambulance."
However, there is still the characteristic story of challenges.
Winesi said they serve a very big area and the bicycle ambulance is highly demanded. She related how one patient died while they were waiting for the ambulance to return from another assignment.
"We felt like we had killed her," she said. "May be she would have lived if we had taken her to the hospital quickly. If we had more than one ambulance, may be the story would have been different."
Paulina Radson complained about lack of support from some parents for the kids at the nursery schools.
"We need food for these kids. Some parents think we'll be providing food just because we started the schools," she said. "I think it's because we can't provide for them adequately that we have a relatively low turnout in the schools."
The situation is somewhat different in Likwetho Village where Jennifer Chiotcha, vice secretary of the CBO, comes from. The nursery school there has 96 children. She attributed this to the support Unicef gives to the kindergarten.
In spite of the long list of challenges, the members are undaunted in the pursuit of their mission.
"We want to go further," said Chiotcha. "We will keep up serving our villages to address some of the problems and save and change some lives."
Such is young Kalako's resolve.
"The fact that I don't get any payment for what I am doing is not my problem. My problem is to help fellow young people live a positive life and look into the future with hope."

Hints from Heloise: Seat-belt extensions often free
Dear Heloise: I would like to suggest to your readers that they ask for seat-belt extenders for their cars.
Most people do not know they have to ask for them. They are free. If you do not need them for yourself, you may need them for someone who will be in your car in the future. I think it should be mandatory for all cars (new or used) sold to have them in the car for use, if needed. -- Pamela W. in Ohio
Dear Pamela: Seat-belt extenders are an important part of a vehicle, but unfortunately, they are not available for all makes and models of cars. If you want an extender, you must contact the car dealer. Many dealers will give them to you for free, but others may charge a small fee. They also may ask you to sign a waiver saying that you know about the warnings related to effectiveness and liability when using extenders. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: When I find little packets of desiccants (silica-gel packets) in boxes to keep moisture out of the contents, I wonder if it is safe to put one in my cracker jar. I did try it, and the crackers stayed just as crisp and fresh as when I opened it, but is this safe? -- Vicki A. in Idaho
Dear Vicki: Although these packets are nontoxic, they are not recommended for use with food (unless the packets came packaged with that particular food item). To keep your crackers fresh, store them in an airtight container or even the freezer.
There are many other areas in your home where you could reuse silica-gel packets, but don't use them when storing food. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: The other day, I was having a hard time understanding the dialogue on a favorite TV show. When my daughter walked into the room, I mentioned to her how hard it is to hear dialogue when actors talk too fast or too quietly. She told me she has a way to fix that when it happens to her.
Without a second thought, she took the TV remote from me, turned the volume to "mute," and the closed captioning appeared on the bottom of the screen. (Heloise here: Some TVs do not have this feature.) I now do this with any program's dialogue that I am having difficulty understanding. -- Candace W. in New York
Send a great hint to: Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000; Fax: (210) 435-6473 or send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Abortion funding could be the issue that makes or breaks health care reform.
Abortion opponents in the Senate say they want to see tough language keeping abortion funding out of the bill.
Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., says he's considering introducing an amendment similar to the one in the House version.
Meanwhile, 41 House Democrats sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pledging to vote against the final bill if it includes restrictions on abortion.
Click play for comments from conservative radio show host Janet Parshall.
President Obama said the bill should not change current federal policy that forbids using taxpayer dollars to fund abortion.
"We're not looking to change what is the principle that has been in place for a very long time, which is federal dollars are not used to subsidize abortions," the president told ABC News.
"And I want to make sure that the provision that emerges meets that test -- that we are not in some way sneaking in funding for abortions, but, on the other hand, that we're not restricting women's insurance choices," he continued. "There needs to be some more work before we get to the point where we're not changing the status quo."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. has said a vote in Senate may not take place until next year.

"It's dangerous for kids and customers. I feel for the kids. I understand but there are parks," Buff said Thursday afternoon.
Her business is located on West Avenue.
Buff approached the borough council during a recent meeting Tuesday night to express her concerns and ask for further assistance from officials.
"I came to Woodstown because Woodstown is a promising downtown area. It's a bad element, children are running amuck. I would like something to be done, I need your help," Buff said to council.
Director of Public Safety Cris Simmermon said the police department has taken a report on every complaint.
Taylor's Florist & Gifts owner Sharlene Taylor said she also has had issues with children riding dangerously across the street.
She added that they aren't looking to see if cars are pulling out of the driveway. Taylor's business is located on South Main Street.
"They are flying down in front of our store where our customers are coming in and out, leaving their bikes out all over the sidewalk. It's a safety hazard," Taylor said.
She added that the biggest concern is for kids to acknowledge cars trying to pull out as they quickly ride by.
According to Borough Council President David Layton, within the past five years, the police department has responded to about 10 incidents of violations and in most incidents, the violators have been children.
"Our police officers have always informed the violators of the ordinance and asked them to refrain from riding their bicycles on the sidewalks. In all cases, a report has been generated and a parent or guardian was notified and informed of the ordinance," Layton said.
The police department will continue efforts of outreaches, partnering and educating community youths in an effort to ensure public safety, according to Simmermon.
Layton said each incident must be handled on a case-by-case basis, as the police are well trained and authorized to exercise professional judgment in resolving conflicts and offenses.
"Although the ordinance must be enforced, at the same time our police force is community focused. We will work with our police department to discuss and encourage ways in which they can work proactively with the community," Layton said.
He added that the borough is committed to preventing bikes on the sidewalks within the business district for safety reason and will support the police department.
The ordinance states that on first violation "the municipal court may impose a fine not exceeding $500, forfeiture of the roller blades, skate board or bicycle used in violation, and may order community service."
According to the council president, if a summons is required for a particular offense, it will be issued and prosecuted in municipal court.
"The police have the authority given in local ordinances and the confidence of the mayor and council in their ability to enforce the law in the best interest of the community," Layton said.

Penn hopped over Johns Hopkins University to take the second spot in U.S. News & World Report's ranking of 122 U.S. medical schools this year.
But even Penn's medical school dean, Arthur Rubenstein, acknowledged that if one of his researchers had proposed a study using the magazine's methodology, he would have rejected the project.

White is the color of perfection. The color white means purity, innocence, wholeness, and completion. In wedding, the word white refers to the color of the wedding dress, which first became popular with Victorian era elites, after Queen Victoria wore a white lace dress at her wedding.
However, the term now also encapsulates the entire Western wedding routine, especially in the Christian religious tradition, which generally includes a ceremony during which the marriage begins, followed by a reception. A number of cultures also have adopted the traditional Western custom of the white wedding, in which a bride wears a white wedding dress and veil. And it becomes a new tradition, which in a wedding, a bride generally wears white, but still a number of people don't.
The white dress in a wedding commonly refers to a bride. And as a wedding guest, can we wear white too? I think this is not a yes no question. A number of people don't wear white in their wedding, so why we avoid this color as the guest? But, as so many colors there, why urge to choose white as a guest?
People don't wear white to a wedding because it used to be no respectful. An article from About.com wrote:
Wearing a white dress to a wedding when you're not the bride is still generally frowned upon. The bride should get to stand out on her wedding day, and one of the ways she does that is by being the only one wearing white.
Believe it or not, etiquette books say yes to guests wearing white (and black, and even red), as long as the fabric and cut of the dress aren't bridal at all. Even Cara Delevingne wore a white dress to her sister's, Poppy Delevingne, wedding, make wear white seems right.
But in my opinion, the answer is no. Why? Because in today's less traditional society, wedding will always be a tradition and it's sacred. Not because it's rude or whatever people said it, but not wear white means respectful.
If you still want to wear white to a wedding, I think this could be an acceptable inspiration:

On Monday, Ohio election board Republican Doug Preisse admitted that the goal of voter ID laws are to stop African Americans from voting.
Preisse told the Columbus Dispatch in an email: "I guess I really actually feel we shouldn't contort the voting process to accommodate the urban — read African-American — voter-turnout machine." He also called, "Claims of unfairness by Ohio Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern and others 'Bullshit.' Quote me!," according to the Ohio Dispatch report.
A horrible picture is emerging all over America. And as it comes into focus, as it has in the past few weeks, it is one of hate, division and racism. It is also the greatest assault on free elections and democracy witnessed in generations.
Despite what some believe, it is now virtually impossible to hide the deep distain of Republicans for African Americans. But their efforts to "fix" the next election through voter suppression does not end with black voters. Voter ID laws, all implemented in Republican-controlled state legislatures, have been targeting the poor, elderly, Hispanic, and other non-white voting groups. If you do not believe that is evidence of racism and discrimination, you need a dictionary.
Some judges have halted voter ID laws, but others, particularly Republican appointees, have upheld these laws which will stop millions of Americans from voting.
Voter suppression has become an epidemic ahead of the 2012 elections.
In Florida, the Polk Ledger reported that "a former state GOP chairman… claims that the party tried to suppress black voters."
In a court deposition in July, former Florida GOP Chair Jim Greer said he was "concerned about what people knew about a secret arrangement he made to get a share of party donations," which included stopping black voters from voting, the Ledger report added.
In Ohio, early voting has been the target of Republican election officials. First, early voting hours were extended only in Republican counties. Then under public pressure, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted made early voting hours uniform, but limited them to weekdays only, effectively preventing traditional Sunday voting by African American church-goers.
In Florida, Republican Governor Rick Scott signed voter ID restrictions into law, then began to purge voting rolls, targeting Hispanic voters. Cuts in early voting also took aim at voting groups that gave President Obama Florida's 27 electoral votes in 2008. The federal Department of Justice ordered Governor Scott to stop because the efforts were discriminatory. But Scott has continued his push to stop more than 180,000 Americans from voting in Florida.
While some Republicans claim the goal is to stop fraud by people impersonating registered voters, others have admitted it's really all about winning elections for Republican candidates by cheating because there is no evidence to support claims that voting fraud is a problem.
Pennsylvania House Leader, Republican Mike Turzai admitted the true object behind the new voter ID laws. In a now-famous video, Turzai said strict new voting laws would help Republicans "win the state," in the 2012 elections.
That goal is best achieved by blocking votes by as many Americans as possible who might cast a vote for a Democrat.
In the past 30 years, there have not been so many obvious efforts to stop Americans from voting. This is what democracy has been reduced to in the United States of America in 2012.
When new voter ID laws threaten to stop 5 million Americans from voting, it is difficult to call it democracy anymore.

230 grain .45 caliber HydroShock, oh, and a 1911 to shoot them in. :D
January 25, 2004, 07:14 PM
Try the Winchester Winclean. It has a flat point. I wonder if the bullet would expand with a HP from such a short barrel. I carry the Winclean in my Browning BDA. Byron
January 26, 2004, 03:18 PM
Some good .380 loads. One shot stops listed as %, Strasbourg times in second ( ) if any:
1. COR-BON 90 gr. SIERRA JHP +P (71%) (11.12)
2. FED 90 gr. HYDRASHOK (P380HS1G) (71%) (10.94)
3. TRITON 90 gr. QUIK-SHOK +P (70%)
4. FED 90 gr. SIERRA JHP (380BP?) (69%) (11.06)
5. WIN 85 gr. SILVERTIP (68%) (12.88)
6. R-P 88 gr. JHP (new) (67%)
7. CCI 90 gr. GD (67%)
8. TRITON 90 gr. JHP +P (65%)
9. FED 90 gr. PD HYDRASHOK (65%)
10. WIN 95 gr. SXT (64%)
11. R-P 102 gr. GS (64%)
12. PMC 95 gr. STARFIRE (62%)
FMJs are around 55%
Gary A
January 26, 2004, 08:03 PM
Without commenting on the controversy surrounding the One Shot Stop theory or the Strasbourg Test reports, it should be noted that those numbers will not be the same coming from the 2.7 inch barrel of the Kel-Tec as they would from a 3.35 to 3.6 or longer barrel of more traditional .380s. Even Sanow has written articles noting that the difference in effectiveness of loads between say a Beretta 85 and a Colt Mustang is striking. Just something to consider. Will those HPs open up from approximately 1 inch less barrel? Certainly the velocity, power, penetration, OSS and everything else will be affected.
Random Discharge
January 26, 2004, 10:02 PM
I'm with Byron and Gary A on this one. When it comes to short barreled blowbacks I'll take the penetration of a flatpoint or FMJ everytime. The JHP statistics look good, but when I factor in my confidence that the bullets will penetrate to where they need to go, I take my chances with FMJ.
Back when a 32 Guardian was my pocket favorite I kept it stocked with Fiochi FMJ. It ran a little warmer than most and fed reliably.
January 27, 2004, 09:52 AM
Living in Michigan, where everyone is bundled up in layers of clothing, I keep my .380 pocket pistols loaded with FMJ.
I also use Fiocchi - I've found it to be a very reliable feeder in my Kel-Tek P-3AT, and a little hotter than other manufacturer's FMJ. 100% reliable in my P-3AT.
Here's what a target looks like after 150 rounds or so of it. ;)
January 27, 2004, 06:21 PM
Man, I'm impressed with the 25yd accuracy you're getting out of your P-3AT!! That in a 150rd group too!!! I can't wait to bench mine! Just kidding!
Good to see that you do shoot yours, so many buy a gun, load it, and carry it forever. In my initial tests three different types of ammo ran perfectly in mine. Mine were all HP ammo, which is what I carry. My take is, if it doesn't expand, it acts like a solid. No harm done there. I doubt if expansion is reliable with any I've tried. I'm gonna chrono mine when the weather improves and do some penetration tests as well.
Random Discharge,
Unlike the Secamp, NAA, and the Tomcat, the Kel Tecs are locked breach pistols. How much of a velocity difference between the blow backs and the locked breach with the same length barrels I don't know. I doubt if it is significant.
January 27, 2004, 06:27 PM
The problem is, if it does expand, it will more than likely not penetrate adequately. At lease with an FMJ, you know you will get adequate penetration. Expantion is nice, but if your round doesn't reach the CNS, it will probably not stop anyone.
January 27, 2004, 06:38 PM
Shooter1 - LOL at 25 yards. :) That was all at about 25 FEET (was actually between the 7 and 10 yard marks, so probably was actually 25 feet.
I've found mine to be pretty accurate once you get how the sights work, and the trigger isn't too bad, either. It's my carry-when-I-can't-carry-something-bigger gun. I just never feel comfortable with just a .380...but I feel more comfortable with THAT than with nothing. And that's the niche this pistol fits nicely into. :)
Darn thing is hardly bigger than my cell phone...
When I do carry it, it's in one of these nice Hedley holsters:
January 27, 2004, 07:03 PM
Here are some links to 380 ammo performance. The Bersa thunder 380 is used in the first link and it does have a little longer barrel then the P-3AT so should produce more velocity, expansion and less penetration due to the better expansion.
The P-3AT was used in the next link
The penetration and expansion produced with the Speer God Dot from the P-3AT looks about as good as you're going to get from it's short barrel!
January 27, 2004, 09:03 PM
Still good shooting. 150 rounds with only a few flyers! My first time out with mine I was able to ring the 8" steel plates most of the time from the 10yd line. I wasn't disappointed
My first requirement for Carry ammo is reliability, second is penetration, anything more is a bonus. I don't have the means to test in gelatin, but shoot a lot of wet phone books. The only thing this does, is give me opportunity to compare a variety of ammo in the same medium. I settled on the Gold Dot for the 32 based on this testing. I will do the same testing with the 380. Actually neither one would be my first choice for a carry gun. That said I carried a P-32 for years before I got the P 3AT, and frequently carried it solo when clothing would not allow a larger gun. Actually I carry mine all the time, mostly as backup to a more effective weapon. Like you, it's my ALWAYS gun!

Don't Act For Action's Sake
One of the newest sites I've been reading has been The Daily Crux, a site that highlights, among other things, the most intriguing investing news of the day. It's run by Stansberry & Associates Investment Research, a company that does exactly what it sounds like it does – investment research (and they're based out of nearby Baltimore).
Investing isn't my forte, I'm an adherent to simple investing through index funds with a little dabbling in individual stocks just to get my heart rate up during the day. However, I find that even if you aren't big into the markets, it's still especially important to keep abreast of the financial news of the day.

It's a long process..
you first need to attend local boxing clinics..link up with your city's LBC president..and get certified for the amateurs as a ref/judge..you'll start at level 1 and have to work your way up in the amateurs before going on to the pro's which will take quite a few years..
good luck..oh and in the amateurs..it's rare to get paid..so don't think you'll do it as a side job with pay..it's mainly volunteer work.

there should be a form on your state govt website or USA boxing website you can fill out which, if approved, makes you eligible to volunteer to judge amateur fights after some training, clinics, orientation.
Thought I had the form for CA bookmarked, but i cant find it right now. Even before you fill that form out you could probably just go to as many am events as possible and start to ask familiar faces you see where these clincs might be. how you elevate into the professional ranks I'm not entirely sure but it will take a couple years of volunteer work before you prove yourself to be entirely competent and are able to network into the pro ranks.

The 2011 NFL Draft is just two days away, and with each hour gone by comes more and more "certainty" about who's going where, and when.
Like a broken record, we've already heard who's supposed to be the top player at each position, who's a small school sleeper, etc.
But, like in every draft, there are players who went from big names to small prospects for reasons we may not understand.
Some players who were extremely productive in college just don't get the recognition they deserve heading into draft day, and their stock is hurt accordingly.
Before the NFL owners think they have got it all figured out, here are 10 players who definitely need to be reconsidered by NFL teams before Thursday night rolls around.

2 tsp. grated lemon peel
18 fresh raspberries, halved

in a small bowl , beat butter and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, add flour and salt; mix well. Press into prepared pan bake at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
meanwhile in a small bowl combing cream cheeses and remaining sugar until smooth, add egg; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in lemon juice. Pour over crust bake 14-18 minutes longer until filling is set.
cool on a wire rack for 1 hour refrigerate for at least 2 hours Using foil gently lift bars out of pan , Granish with raspberries.
I don't usually like the texture of anything made with fat-free cream cheese, but I guess we have to give up something.

Meet Our Survivors: Forrest Jackson
As 15-year-old Forrest Jackson lay in a hospital bed awaiting test results to identify a mass on his brain, his mother Wanda Jackson comforted the athlete in him.
"Forrest, we're going to treat this like football," Wanda said. "Whatever happens, we're going to tackle it. We're going to hit it as hard as we can, and we're not going to worry about it."
Wanda's words steadied her and Forrest as they learned the teen's diagnosis – germinoma, a brain tumor. The diagnosis was a swift, unexpected blow to the family, who'd attributed Forrest's headaches to a sinus infection or migraine. "It was the furthest possibility from my mind," remembers Reginald Davis, Forrest's dad.
It was spring when Forrest began suffering the headaches – the time of year when allergies might cause some problems, like a sinus infection, Wanda thought. But the headaches continued for about three weeks.
Forrest awoke with unbearable pain before dawn one morning, and Wanda, alarmed, took him to a local emergency room. Forrest's X-ray results were normal, and he was diagnosed as having a migraine and prescribed medication. "But over the next few days, something still wasn't quite right," Wanda remembered. "I watch my son all the time, and I was watching his behavior. He was not his usual self, and he was somewhat quiet. I knew the pain was still there, even though he wasn't complaining."
When asked, Forrest admitted to Wanda that indeed the pain was still present. Wanda took her son to his primary care physician who ordered the CT scan that revealed the mass on Forrest's brain. Further tests revealed the tumor, and the hospital – a local leading children's hospital – referred Forrest to MD Anderson's Proton Therapy Center for treatment. The tumor needed treatment with radiation therapy to prevent further complications or discomfort.
Treatment for brain tumors is complex and must be administered delicately, yet aggressively for effectiveness. With proton therapy technology, doctors were able to deliver the high doses of radiation needed to treat Forrest's tumor, while protecting nearby normal brain structures to prevent new neurological deficits, hormonal deficiencies or intellectual impairment.
"Forrest was diagnosed with a rare – but luckily highly curable -- tumor that originated from his pineal gland," explained Dr. Anita Mahajan, medical director of the Proton Therapy Center and director of Clinical Pediatric Radiation Oncology at MD Anderson. "Generally, radiation treatment has a very high cure rate for his specific tumor type, but because of the location of the tumor, we needed to deliver the treatment as precisely as possible. That's why we recommended proton therapy."
In addition to protecting healthy tissues in Forrest's brain, the ability to precisely target proton therapy also helped to reduce side effects during the teen's treatment, and "it will ultimately lessen potential late effects, such as secondary cancers, that may occur with traditional radiation treatment," added Mahajan.
Forrest underwent five weeks of treatment at the proton therapy center. While the treatments went smoothly, the quarterback's biggest discomfort was being away from the game he loves. Forrest's absence from the gridiron was only temporary, however. Doctors released him to play in the fall following his treatment.
"At the Proton Therapy Center, our goal is to treat our patients so they can get back to doing what they love," said Mahajan. "In Forrest's case, we were thrilled to let him know that he could get back on the field and play football. We'll still monitor him closely but we expect a very positive outcome as a result of his proton therapy treatment"
Reginald, who involved Forrest in football when he was 4, enjoys seeing his son back on the field, but he was more thankful for his son's care.
"We would have tried anything to make him well," Reginald said. "But we couldn't have asked for better care. The staff was informative and answered all the questions we had and any question they thought we might have."
The family also is thankful for Wanda's watchful eye and vigilance. "Forrest is an athlete, so I've always been focused on his health," Wand said. "I get every thing checked out. You have to pay attention to your children, and know when something is not right."

PONTOTOC – A Saturday afternoon accident that claimed the lives of three people is still under investigation by the Mississippi Highway Patrol.
Killed in the accident on Highway 9 near Endville Road were William Scivally, 72 and his wife Doloris Scivally, 69, both of Huntsville, Ala.
The name of the third victim has not been released pending notification of the family.
Mississippi Highway Patrol Trooper Ray Hall said the accident happened at 1:45 p.m.
A Ford pickup truck was traveling north on Highway 9 when it apparently crossed over into traffic and struck a 2010 Toyota mini-van. The Scivallys were driving the van.
After the collision both vehicles overturned and the Ford Ranger burst into flames.

I'm excited for the Griggs-Browne clash
I'm actually looking forward to this fight.
Both guys are coming off good wins:
Griggs- Lashley and V. Overreem.
Browne - Broughton and Struve.
This should be a good one while it lasts.
I'm leaning on Griggs winning this one though. Probably by early TKO.

I doubt this one makes it out of round 1.. They're both great prospects, but I'd give Browne a slight edge because of the competition he's faced.

I think it could be good. Griggs is tough and scrappy as **** he could easily take this but worse case scenario browne uses his size and decisions him.

The Batkid stole hearts in San Francisco once more, with thousands cheering the young boy at the ballpark for the Giants home opener.
Miles Scott, who has undergone treatment for leukemia and saved the city as his favorite superhero through Make-A-Wish Foundation in November, threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Diamondbacks-Giants game Tuesday.
He helped steer the Batmobile into the stadium and raised his right hand into the air out the window, walked hand in hand to the mound with pitcher Matt Cain and even received a fist bump from left fielder Michael Morse from across the dugout rail.
His form wasn't bad, either. The boy kicked his right leg back and fired an on-target fastball to Cain as thousands in the sellout crowd of 42,166 roared.

The Isaac Foundation, which raises money for children with a rare enzyme deficiency known as MPS VI, says in its blog that the 32-year-old singer is a "kind, caring and compassionate person" they have come to "respect."
"I don't care what Playboy magazine writes about the man, and I don't care what John says to the journalists that write what they do about him," writes the group's founder, Andrew McFadyen. "In America, it's all part of the game."
Mayer has donated generously to the group and spent time with Isaac, the little boy with MPS VI, and his father McFadyen. Mayer met Isaac when the boy was 4 years old before a concert in Toronto in July of 2008. Mayer blogged that the little boy was "one of the coolest kids I've ever met."
"I know he has said things that turn people off. I know he's said things that make him sound like someone you would never want your children around – ever," McFadyen writes. "But I also know the person that he truly is and the good things he tries to accomplish with the celebrity status he's achieved."
Mayer has given Isaac's family love and a sense of "hope" that there is a cure for the disease, McFadyen says.
"Write what you want about John, think what you will, but before you hand down your verdict on what kind of person he really is, please consider the good he has done in his life."
In the fallout since his interview, Mayer had stopped his typically incessant Tweeting – but he recently broke his Twitter silence to link to The Isaac Foundation's Web site.

I'm Janice Ryan and I live in Los Angeles with my husband, 2 children and 4 cats (I'm not sure who creates more havoc when I try to sew-the children or the cats). Despite the Cali address and Irish name, I swear that I am genuine Pennsylvania Dutch (and, no, that is not the same as Amish-feel free to ask me about this!). I've been sewing for as long as I can remember (some of my early memories are of my mom and I designing and sewing clothing for my dolls). In my former life (that would be pre-kids), I lived the vagabond life of a costume designer for regional theater, got my MFA in Costume Design from Carnegie Mellon, and then rode off into the sunset to become a costumer for TV and film in sunny California. Although I've had a long-time love affair with my sewing machine (I love it enough that my detour into the dark world of bridal alterations didn't sway me), I didn't catch the quilting bug until I was pregnant with my son, 5 years ago. In all my free time (ha!) I also enjoy fixing up our 1927 English Tudor home, unapologetically indulging in chick-lit, and exploring my family tree.

Thank you. This was the only suitable fabric I had on hand and I just could not wait to begin :) I had to go as bright as I could with the work so it would show up. I had saved a lot of this trim from someone's curb a few years back and I knew it would come in handy one day! I'm starting on my next project since my new fabrics arrived :)

Write A Simple COM Application
The purpose of this tutorial is to give you an idea on how to create a COM Server using ATL, and then being able to call the server from both a Visual C++ program, and a Visual Basic program. I am not gonna go into the depths of COM details or burden you down with IDL, this tuorial is designed to show a new VC++ programmer, how easy "Simple" COM objects are to create using ATL, and to whet their appetite for wanting to learn more.
Step 1: Running the ATL COM Wizard
The first thing you need to do is to fire up Visual C++ and create a new project. Choose the "ATL COM AppWizard". In the project name call it "Simple_ATL". Set the location where you want this project to be saved in, then hit the Ok button. You will see a screen that gives you several choices. The first choice is "Server Type". We are going to build a Server DLL, so make sure that the Server Type is set to "Dynamic Link Library". The other three checkboxes below do not concern us for this particular project, so we can ignore them. Press the finish button to have the Wizard generate to appropriate files for you. A "New Project Information" window will appear to tell you what files are going to be created. Press the Ok button to accept this.
Step 2: Creating a new ATL object
Make sure you can see the "Workspace View" inside the VC++ IDE. You can do this by clicking the "View" menu, then choosing "Workspace". There will be three tabs, click on the "ClassView" tab. You should see "Simple_ATL Classes". Right click on this and choose "New ATL Object" from the popup menu. You will see a window like the following:
The default choice (Simple Object) is what we want. Click the next button and you will be in the "ATL Object Wizard Properties" window. In the "Short Name" textbox, enter "First_ATL". Notice how the Wizard automatically fills in the rest of the textboxes for you. Click on the "Attributes" tab at the top. Here you have several choices to make. For the first choice, Threading Model, we will stick with the default Apartment Model. For the "Interface", click on "Custom", instead of "Dual". Finally, as we are not going to be concerned with "Aggregation", click on the "No" radio button. We don't need to worry about any of the three checkboxes at the bottom. Click on the Ok button and let the Wizard create our new ATL Simple Object.
Step 3: Adding a method
If you click on the "ClassView" tab now in your workspace, you will notice that the Wizard added a bunch of things. The first thing we want to do is add a method. We can do this easily by right clicking on "IFirst_ATL" and choosing "Add Method".
Once you have clicked on "Add Method" you will see the "Add Method to Interface" window. Under the Return Type you can see that by default the method will return "HRESULT". In most cases you should leave this as is. The next textbox allows us to type in the Method Name. Lets type in "AddNumbers". The last textbox asks us the Parameters we wish to use. As we want to add two numbers together, and get a result back, we will use three parameters. The last parameter will be a pointer. Now without going into a 300 page tutorial on IDL, we need to type in the following in the parameter textbox:
[in] long Num1, [in] long Num2, [out] long *ReturnVal
In a nutshell, we are declaring two parameters as long, the values are going in [in], and a final value to return [out] the answer. (It might looking kinda weird the first time you see it, but once you read a book or two on COM, this will make more sense) Click on the Ok button. Click on the "ClassView" tab and expand all the "+" symbols so the tree is fully open to view. Under the top interfaace ("IFirst_ATL") you will see our "AddNumbers" method, and the parameters we gave it. Double click on this, and it will place you into the code. Add the following code:
Code: CPP
Step 4: Compiling the DLL
Believe it or not, but you have a working COM Server built with ATL! Of course we need to compile it. To do this, press the "F7" button and let VC++ do its work. The compiler will grind away for a few seconds. The compiler will register your new DLL in the registry so that other programs can make use of it. Lets try it out.
Step 5: Testing the COM Server with Visual Basic
To start with, we will use Visual Basic to test out the COM Server. (If you do not have a copy of VB, you can skip ahead to the section on testing the COM Server in VC++) Fire up VB and choose "Standard EXE" as your project. Place a Command button on the dialog. Now we need to add a reference to the COM Server. Click on the "Project" menu and choose "References". Scroll down until you see "Simple ATL 1.0 Type Library" and click on it.
Click the Ok button. Now, double click on the command button you placed earlier and VB will drop you into the code window for the command button. Add the following code:
Code: VB
If your a VB programmer this should be pretty straight forward. We declare and object, call the "AddNumbers" from the COM Server, then display the results. Press the "F5" key to run to the VB project, click on the command button, and you should see the expected results:
Step 6: Testing the COM Server with Visual C++
Save and close the Simple_ATL project if it is still open and create a new project. Choose a "Win32 Console Application" and name it "Test_ATL". Click the Ok button and accept the default (An empty project) for the next window. Click on the finish button, then hit the Ok button again. You should now have an empty project. Press the "Control" and "N" keys to add a file to this project. From the window, choose "C++ Source File" and name it "Test_ATL.cpp". Press the Ok button to accept. You should have a blank file open. We need to add some code now to test out the COM Server. Start adding the following code to the new cpp file:
Code: CPP
Re: Write A Simple COM Application
i will try to implement it

Terrible how? Races or battles?
The main way to improve is to keep playing over and over. Try using different combinations of character/vehicle until you find one that suits your style of driving. My personal preference for races is the Magikruzer and Baby Mario although I'm also warming to Mario on the Dolphin Dasher .. .. .. ..
If you can then play online because playing against other human players is harder than against the AI. Watch what others do, where they powerslide, where they wheelie the bikes, which lines they take through corners.
Learn how to use the weapons effectively. Timing is important.

Local water officials firmed up the Santa Clarita Valley's commitment to recycled water Wednesday with plans to expand the master plan for recycling and begin the process at the Saugus Water Reclamation Plant.
Directors of the Castaic Lake Water Agency approved a recommendation by the board's engineers to proceed with the second part of its Recycled Water Master Plan to augment local water supply with increased use of recycled water.
The hope is to use more and more recycled water to offset local demand for potable water, using it to water parks and public landscape.
Phase one of the agency's recycling plan previously identified the source of local recycled water as coming solely from the other local water reclamation plant, the Valencia Water Reclamation Plant.
By 2050, recycled water is expected to provide about 21,000 of the 122,000 acre-feet of total water demand in the Santa Clarita Valley.
The state requires California water suppliers to meet a 20 percent reduction in per capita water use by 2020.
"To the extent that recycled water is developed, it provides the agency the ability to bank more water for use during dry years," said Dirk Marks, agency water resources manager.
The plan approved Wednesday assured agency directors that its next phase will not hurt the environment in any way.

Straight to the listing of the players in an order that reflects how they played the last week:
1. Kevin Durant (last week: 1)
It's getting monotonous just repeating, "he's so very, very good," so here's a random stat I just looked up: Assisted by numbers this season for KD: five from Nick Collison, eight from Serge Ibaka, nine from Kendrick Perkins, 10 from Thabo Sefolosha, 13 from Reggie Jackson… 39 from Russell Westbrook.
2. Russell Westbrook (last week: 4)
Here he comes.
The biggest thing holding Westbrook back in his return was his feel at the rim. He was getting there just fine (6.7 attempts a game inside five feet compared to 7.0 last season); he just wasn't making it once he got there. Last season, Westbrook shot 56.6 percent inside five feet; this season, he's at 46.7 percent. And getting to the rim is a major part of his game. It's not that he's an elite finisher (for example, Durant's 67.9 percent inside five feet), but creating those high percentage chances is key for Westbrook.
The last five games though, Westbrook's coming around, shooting 54.2 percent inside five feet. The last three games, he's 9-of-11 from that range. So it appears to be coming back.
Somewhat surprisingly, the midrange touch has been good all season so far for Westbrook (47,1 percent from 10-14 feet, 43.8 percent from 15-19 feet), so really, it's just been the touch at the cup.
3. Reggie Jackson (last week: 2)
Hat tip to commenter OKC035 for looking this up, but the three-man lineup of Durant, Westbrook and Jackson this season is a +24.8 per 100 possessions in 137 minutes together. Compare that to Westbrook-Durant-Harden in 2012 (+9.9) and Westbrook-Durant-Martin in 2013 (+14.3). That's something.
4. Serge Ibaka (last week: 5)
Already this season through 19 games, Ibaka has 10 double-doubles. Last season, he finished with 17 total.
Also, there's this: Per 82games.com, at center this season Ibaka's PER is 29.3, compared to 19.5 at power forward. And opposing centers have a PER of 11.4. And OKC's been a net +17.9 points per 48 minutes with Ibaka at the 5, versus a +2.5 with him at the 4.
The big thing about that is what it provides Scott Brooks in terms of lineup versatility. With Ibaka's ability to not only play, but excel at center means Durant can play more power forward — where he's dominant — and the Thunder can get Reggie Jackson on the floor more. There are certain matchups where Ibaka doesn't work as well at center, but he's holding his own on the boards — he's grabbing 4.6 contested rebounds a game, fifth in the league — which is really what's provided the Thunder the ability to go small. Ibaka's overall play this season has been a solid step forward, and the fact he's learning to play as the lone big for OKC is a significant part of it.
5. Nick Collison (last week: 6)
The numbers are starting to take shape. With Collison on the floor this season, the Thunder are +14.9 points per 100 possessions better than their opponent.
6. Jeremy Lamb (last week: 3)
A little bit of a down week for Lamb, especially after he had two good ones against the Kings (14 points) and the Blazers (10 points). He got into foul trouble against the Pelicans and finished with just two points on 1-5 shooting and followed that up with only five against the Pacers on 2-6.
But you know what? Those two down games still kind of impressed me, because even after getting a taste the past few weeks of scoring, Lamb hasn't forced a single shot that I can think of. Even in garbage time against the Pelicans, he wasn't trying to jack up looks for numbers. He was still swinging the ball, still making cuts and still trying to do his job. The guy is a really good "fit" player.
7. Kendrick Perkins (last week: 7)
Two things cloud the discussion around Perk: 1) That he's a starter and 2) that he's making almost $9 million this season. For a guy that has a PER of 5.93 and averages 2.9 points and 3.4 rebounds, how can you rationalize all of that together? I'm not completely sure you can, but some of the reasoning was on display Sunday against the Pacers. Roy Hibbert is a dominant player, and he was unable to get comfortable at all against OKC, and that was almost exclusively because of Perk.
Now, with more teams playing small, it diminishes Perk's value. And what complicates things more is that Brooks has stubbornly decided to stick with his starting lineup no matter the circumstance, rather than adjusting and deploying Perk in specific situations.
8. Thabo Sefolosha (last week: 8)
This goes for Perk as well, but the starting lineup isn't going to change until one of these guys isn't on the roster. I absolutely love Thabo and still think he's a premier wing defender and is a plus player, but at the same time, I am starting to wonder what his future place on the team is.
Having Lamb and Jackson off the bench together is nice, but Lamb certainly has the potential of being a starting 2-guard. The way he fits and isn't ball dominant, he was essentially work in as a more offensive Thabo (with obviously a step back defensively). Or there's Andre Roberson, who's killing it in the D-League.
I've had a small hunch the Thunder may shop Thabo at the deadline since he's an expiring deal, but that's only if they really, really feel good about what they're getting back or think Lamb/Roberson is ready for the starting job. I don't really see that happening. But will Thabo be on this team come next season? Ehhhhh.
9. Steven Adams (last week: 9)
I think it's just been a product of bad matchups, but Adams has definitely found himself in some limited minutes. Or there's this: When playing with the other four starters, the Thunder have a net rating of -18.2 per 100. Defensively, they're horrific, allowing 121.6 per 100. And something to note: This is the Thunder's second most-used lineup, playing 60 minutes together. Something to note off of that note, though: That's a little deceptive because Adams has had two starts, against the Clippers and Warriors, and OKC didn't perform well defensively at all in those two games.
Another number to share just because I looked it up: Per SportVU, 53.4 percent of Adams' rebounds are contested, which is fifth in the league for guys having played 10 or more games. Which confirms what I feel like my eyes have been telling me. Adams grabs a bunch of boards in traffic. And when he does, he chins the thing and basically dares you to come and grab it. I swear, he's going to pop a basketball one of these times like it's a balloon.
10. Derek Fisher (last week: 10)
The box score says Derek Fisher played 14 minutes against the Pacers on Sunday. I truthfully don't remember any of them. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? I can't decide.
11. Perry Jones III (last week: 11)
The sample size is miniscule, but did you know Jones is shooting 57.1 percent from the field and 60.0 percent from 3 this season? Look, at some point you just can't play everyone and even though I'd love to see Jones on the floor more, I honestly don't know how Brooks can fit him in without it being awkward. Still, it's a shame to have a really quality young player on your bench that did his job and played well, but can't get on the court anyway.
12. Ryan Gomes (last week: 14)
Gomes played a part in the biggest controversy this season where he inexplicably got garbage time minutes over Perry Jones against the Pelicans, causing a 10-second freakout on Twitter by me, before I realized what was happening, and immediately stopped caring.
13. Hasheem Thabeet (last week: 13)
You know who likes to clap? Hasheem Thabeet likes to clap.
