I have been crafting since I was a little girl, partly because I don't like to just sit still and do nothing! I love the feeling of finishing a project, and I love the reaction when I give a special handmade gift to one of my children or a friend. There is something very special about making something that no one else has.
If you have tried out any of my patterns, the first thing you probably noticed is that they are EASY! Why? While I love a good challenge as much as the next girl, I also like to knit and crochet to unwind after a long stressful day at the office. I often (always) work on my projects while watching TV or a movie or while spending time with my three children who like to talk... sometimes at a very fast pace and all at once. :) An easy pattern is a requirement for me. I hate frogging or as I call it un-knitting. I've made it a bit of a mission to create patterns that look difficult and impressive but actually aren't. I really hope that you enjoy making them as much as I did.
Confession: I have never been able to master the basic crocheted ripple pattern that everyone else seems to fly through with such ease and that has always bothered me. This afghan is the lemonade made from the lemons of so many failed crochet ripple afghan attempts.
The reason it is called a Weekender Afghan, is because it can be made in a weekend. With lofty, super bulky yarn and large needles, it does work up quickly which is a good thing when you need an impressive hand-made gift and you are short on time.
The pattern is very easy to follow with a simple 4-row repeat. In fact, 3 of the 4 rows are either knit across or purl across.
I made the sample in the pictures as a gift, but I'm so happy with it that I'm thinking of making one for each of my 3 children, keeping the marble, but using a different second color for each. I think the coordinating afghans would look very nice on a ladder-style quilt rack in our living room.

Police: Woman shoplifted from three stores in two daysJune 19,2014Police say woman stole from 3 stores
BENNINGTON A local woman is facing three misdemeanor charges of petty larceny after police said she stole items from three local stores in two days in May.
Jennifer A. Brandmeyer, 25, of Bennington, pleaded innocent to the charges in Bennington criminal court Monday and was released without bail.
The charges against Brandmeyer were based on two affidavits, both written by Officer Keith Diotte of the Bennington Police Department.
In one, Diotte said he was dispatched May 26 to Cumberland Farms on Northside Drive in Bennington.
Based on information provided by a clerk at the store and his viewing of surveillance video later, Diotte said he believed Brandmeyer stole a 12-pack of beer.
In the second affidavit, Diotte said he was dispatched May 27 to Payless Shoe Store in Bennington Square shopping center in Bennington. A clerk at the store said she saw Brandmeyer take shoes and leave without paying for them.
Diotte said police later learned Brandmeyer had taken sunglasses and said the total amount of merchandise taken from Payless was a little more than $50.
When police arrested Brandmeyer, she also had items from JCPenney, which is in the same shopping center as Payless. The items from JCPenneys totaled about $380 according to the affidavit.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A pending deal between the state and federal governments will give a big boost to...

|Karin Pennemann.
Retail firms have internationalized aggressively, first into developed countries and then into developing countries. Doing business in emerging countries offers growth opportunities, but also holds some uncertainties due to the lack of knowledge on whether international retailers can succeed with a global brand in business that was originally local. To expand on this issue, Karin Pennemann discusses successful positioning options for retail brands in the context of emerging countries and draws implications for retailers' international brand management. Her research identifies the importance of perceived brand globalness, the underlying value creation process, and the relevance of cultural differences in international retail brand management.

Premier League Kit Deals Reach Record High
Tue 14th May 2013 | Marketing & PR
American invasion drives Premier League clubs' kit deals to new record high as Warrior and Under Armour help contribute to a 32% jump in kit deal revenues.
The total value of Barclays Premier League clubs' kit supply contracts has this season shot to £117.3 million (145.5 million EUR) – a 32% increase on 2011/12.
While traditional giants such as Nike, adidas and Puma continue to invest heavily, the surge in income has been driven by the entrance of North American duo Warrior and Under Armour the suppliers of Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, respectively.
This is one of the key findings of the REPUCOM Kit Supplier Report 2012/13, produced in cooperation with PR Marketing, the leading industry analysis of sports equipment supply contracts in the top European football leagues.
"The entrance of Warrior and the growth in Under Armour's investment in British football has been a real shot in the arm in terms of Premier League clubs' kit sponsorship incomes," said Andrew Walsh, President – Global Enterprise at REPUCOM.
"The league's global reach makes it a very attractive prospect for the world's top sports merchandise manufacturers. In turn, kit contracts are becoming an ever-more relevant source of revenue for the clubs, not only at the top level, but right down the division."
Today, almost 40 years after Admiral became the first sports equipment brand in England to advertise its logo on club kit, with Leeds United, 11 different suppliers are present in the Premier League.
It accounts for almost two-fifths of the total combined kit deal revenues across Europe's top five leagues, which this season nears £315 million.
"Across Europe, we're seeing the relationships between the top clubs and their kit suppliers growing from purely branding of the kit to more profound, strategic partnerships," said Dr Peter Rohlmann of PR Marketing.
Clubs from England's top division earn an average of £6 million per year from kit supply deals, also up on last year.
The dominance of Premier League clubs when it comes to securing kit sponsorship deals comes down to the sheer volume of replica shirts they sell.
This season, the league's 20 clubs will sell a combined total of approximately 5 million jerseys worldwide. That is around one million more than 2011/12, another key indicator of continuing growth of the league's popularity globally. It is also more than double the number sold by Germany's 18 Bundesliga sides.
Shirt prices are also rising across Europe but Premier League club shirts are still the cheapest among the top five European leagues.
The report shows the average price of a Premier League club shirt has risen 8.3% since last season, impacted primarily by the proliferation of leading brands this season.
The average price of a Premier League club jersey now stands at £47.60, but that is still significantly less than the Serie A equivalent at £61.
All values in GBP (£). Currency conversion at time of study: 1 GBP = 1.24 EUR

The theme from Rocky blared as I stretched with scores of others preparing for this year's Broad Street Run.
It evoked thoughts of another fighter, Philly-born jazz tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker, whose battle with leukemia had much to do with why I could survive the same disease and travel from western Massachusetts to join 30,000 runners this spring.
Brecker - an elite jazz improviser and New York studio musician - died four years ago after he failed to find a match for a bone marrow transplant. But his search for a donor registered tens of thousands of new volunteers and saved the lives of at least 30 people, including me.

Historical Traveler Reviews Pavillon Villiers Etoile Paris
Lovely Hotel
I read a couple comments from other reviewers and I agree with most of them. The hotel is indeed clean, the rooms are small, the staff are friendly, and the location is convenient. The hotel is on a small street off of a side street (with daily street market), which is off of the main blvd (traffic and subway stop). Being a NYC guy, I loved the area because it is quiet, yet convenient to the subway station. It reminds me of being in Upper West Side. All in all, it's a great, inexpensive hotel in a convenient and safe (but not hip) neighborhood.
All pictures below are of the side street on or near the hotel.
Loved this Hotel!
This hotel was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and the hotel rooms were very clean. The rooms were a bit small, but definitely a bargain for what you were getting. The continental breakfast was very tasty, and if you ask to have it delivered as room service rather than go to the dining room, you can do that as well. I would definitely recommend this hotel, and it has a great location too!
Would not recommend
We stayed at this hotel in October and while the location was fine, the hotel itself left much to be desired. Most of the staff simply ignored us and when we did interact, we were left wondering if our request was going to be handled.
The room was small and while we expected that, we did not anticipate having to move our bed to open the door. The room itself reeked of smoke and when opened the bathroom door, the room then smelled like the sewer. The bathroom seemed clean, which made the smell even more confusing and suspect, but the toilet seat was cracked and the stopper for the tub was touch and go. The linens on the bed were clean but the coverlet was stained (we worked very hard to try not to identify any of the stains) and the carpet was in such bad shape I made sure to always wear slippers or shoes.
I would also recommend having very clear instructions for locating the hotel if you travel by taxi, our driver did not know where it was located, although he did a great job of finding it, it would've gone smoother if we had pretty clear instructions.
All in all, this hotel was extremely disappointing and did not provide a peaceful place to rest and recharge after a day or night of roaming Paris. The neighborhood was great for getting a glimpse into daily Paris life away from the more touristy areas, but I would definitely find a different hotel for my next visit.
Perfect for the weekend
We stayed here for just two nights but found the staff friendly and the room welcoming, everything we needed for a romantic weekend away.
The room was small, but so is every room in Paris according to our Lonely Planet guide! It was very clean, it came with a mini bar and TV, plus the maid cleaned the room.
Breakfast is a simple buffet of french pastries, bread and cereal. It provides a good start to the day which prepares you for the miles of walking and steps you will encounter whilst sightseeing.
Situated in an ideal location, it is only 5 mins walk from the nearest metro station and 10 mins metro travel to the Eiffel Tower!
A wide range of restaurants and cafe's close by with a vibrant market atmosphere.
A value for money hotel in an otherwise expensive city!
Terrific location
I just came back from a girls' trip. We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. I would say all of the previous reviews have merit, but we thought it was great for the money. The rooms are small, but I think all 3 star rooms are small. It was clean. Our rooms weren't air conditioned, but that wasn't a problem the end of September. Our room also had a fan which was a real plus because it did get noisey at night. Definitely take some earplugs. The breakfast was typical, but good. They also had a table in a courtyard where we had our own wine and cheese one evening.
What sells this place is the location. You're a short, safe walk from a metro which has two lines. You're also in a "neighborhood." The daily market is colorful and fun. There's a Monoprix up the street. There are also several outstanding restaurants in the area, especially Une something Familie, the next block over. I think they served our best meal in Paris, and it was very reasonable as well. I would stay here again.
Nel complesso davevro buono
Hotel situato in una posizione estremamente piacevole e ben collegata. Le camere sono un p� piccole e l'arredo � un p� vecchiotto ma la pulizia � eccellente. Ottima la colazione. Per il prezzo pagato siamo assolutamente soddisfatti. Nel complesso lo consiglio a chi desidera una sistemazione soddisfacente a prezzi ragionevoli!
Just OK!
Hotel was very clean and the staff was nice but it just made me think "motel 6". If we had been staying for several days, I would probably have switched to somewhere else. It did not have air conditioning which was a disappointment in August but did have two huge windows that opened wide and was not noisy at night. Only had two extremely small (hand) towels so had to go down to lobby and get some more.
They have little buttons on the hallway walls to turn hall lights off and on and every time we came into the building they were turned off so it was quite intimidating and depressing.
Being in the 17th was not too far away from things, with the metro stop so close, we were no more than 10-15 minutes from anything and the market next to us was very nice as were the little shops and especially Paul's Bakery.
Excellent small hotel
Located in Villier close to the Metro, access to the central parts of Paris were easy (Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Champs Elysee). The Rue Levi at the bottom of the road has an excellent example of a market selling all kinds of fruit, vegetables, cheese, bread and various other non food shops.
OK, the rooms were a bit on the small side although fine for a short stay (my wife and I went for a weekend break) and the beds were also a little on the soft side for my taste... but that's personal preference.
The bathroom was clean with a hot, powerful shower. The breakfast was fine (rolls, croissants, fruit, cereal, juice, cold meats, pastries and hard boiled eggs - not necessarily in that order). The English speaking staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to help. The hotel was extremely clean. There is no restaurant but then Paris is hardly short of places to eat out in.
All in all I had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend this hotel.
Not recommended
I would not recommend this hotel. Location is nice, but staff were very unfriendly--almost rude. The facility is run down and rooms are very, very small. The breakfast area is dirty, and located near the toilets---very unpleasant. Even by european standards, the price far exceeds any value this hotel provides.
Great value, but not for claustrophobics!
Great location but scary at first - just on a little, not so scenic, street. However, DO visit the market (almost daily from morning til night, except holidays) on Levis Street at end of block. We had many a meal by stopping off there for bread, cheese and wine (all from different shops, of course!) and great fastfood Vietnamese also. The Parc Monceau is an easy 3 block walk and huge and gorgeous - great to take your picnic lunch to.
Julian, a young man working at the front desk, really saved us on this 8 day vacation, he was always so friendly and booked our TGV train tickets to Provence as well as an excursion to Monet's Giverny and reservations at a Michelin rated restaurant, Chez Leon, that we found ourselves in the Michelin guide, but turned out to be ONE block away and was perfect, unbelievable inevery way.
Julian and one young lady were the only desk help with excellent English. But his attitude made us feel so happy, and that it was OK to ask a million questions, that we just went to him with everything.
Now, the negatives. Mainly just the room which gave me claustrophobia -- and believe me, we have stayed in hotels through Paris, Germany and Austria before; so we know the smaller European std. But, in Villiers Etoile, there were NO drawers, so the very cool modern furniture you see on their website had to be covered with stacks of clothes; I do not think this room would work if we had not stayed gone all day every day until we dropped into bed each night. For our snacks we ate them in the little courtyard which could be cute if someone will plant live flowers.
We stayed in 2 different parts of the hotel and I'm convinced all the rooms are like that. Still, we would stay there again, especially if Julian is still working there.
The included breakfast was great, wonderful, loved it. Included French ham, yogurt, cheeses (which I must confess I packed in my fanny pack to snack on during midmorning hunger while my husband dragged me all over the city on the metro)
Internet was down the whole time we were there. But can walk to a cyber cafe 1 street over.
Oh, and ladies, if you do shop on Levis (sp?) street - be sure and check out the lingerie store called Samy (I think, or else thats the Lingerie they carry) - its down to the right about 3 shops past the last street market vegetable stand. Beautiful selection and great prices -- some better than Monoprix! The proprietress speaks no English but point and sign language works fine and its luxurious to have her bring things to you.
We stayed 8 days and it was wonderful. Paris is the best.

Our first stop over was Villers-Bretonneux where we rode straight to the Australian War Memorial and cemetery.

So far my gout has not bothered me, so I think I will only drink French wine from now on!!!

The Roundup
Nation World HQ
June 26 2015 06:00AM
New salary cap and it's effect on teams, Mark Giordano's asking price, a fight between two first overall picks, Bieksa, Lucic, Bozak, McDavid and all the draft and trade news you can handle in this week's Roundup.
Nation Network Prospect Profiles: #3 Dylan Strome

June 25 2015 06:03PM
Being a fan of your hometown team can be a bit of a thankless job at times, but sometimes your loyalty gets rewarded in spades. Such was the case with fans of the Erie Otters the last couple years, as they have been treated with being able to watch the development of both generational talent, Connor McDavid, but also the emergence of Dylan Strome, who's set to become a franchise center for one lucky team.
I'll break down Strome's draft year after the jump.
Nation Network Prospect Profiles: #4 Mitch Marner

June 25 2015 04:45PM
Mitch Marner has been one of the biggest risers in this year's draft rankings thanks to a jaw-dropping offensive season with the OHL's London Knights where he demonstrated an elite offensive skillset.
Let's dig a bit more into Marner's impressive draft year.
Nation Network Prospect Profiles: #5 Zach Werenski
Garret Hohl
June 25 2015 03:55PM
The common opinion goes that there are two tiers of defenders in the first two rounds. There is Noah Hanafin, Ivan Provorov, and Zach Werenski, and then there is the rest of the bunch.
Zach Werenski is a pretty special player. What he has done in the NCAA for his age is not only special, but essentially unprecedented.
This is why Werenski sits at number five for our Nation Network prospect rankings.
Nation Network Prospect Profiles: #6 Noah Hanifin
Rhys Jessop
June 25 2015 12:00PM
At this point in the draft, we're really splitting hairs about who's better than whom. Noah Hanifin is a great player. The guy we have at #5 is a great player. The guys sitting at 4th and 3rd are also great players. After McDavid and Eichel, there's really no "wrong" way to order these next four players. Still, we have to prefer some guy, and perhaps a little controversially, that guy isn't Noah Hanifin.
And that's the most negative thing you'll read in this profile because the kid is one hell of a hockey player.

last month wag says they dont ESRX.then on 7/20, they start reaching out to benefit consultants and attempt to contract with employers directly, or choose another PBM except ESRX.7/21 8:00am, Paz calls Wasson and says....can you hear me now. 40% of retail US prescription claims are ESRX/MHS...amazing!
cmxgen, it would appear, on the surface at least, that ESRX gained a powerful bargaining advantage with the MEDCO acquisition announcement. As we all know however things are not always as simple as they first appear. For instance, if I sat on the board of Bank of America, Morgan Stanley or any of the 11 banks that have committed to loaning ESRX a total of $14billion, I would look for certain assurances. At or near the top of my list would be that ESRX secure a contract with WAG. I would not be surprised if this were a covenant of the loan agreement.
I think these two events were running separate events.WAG/ESRX were renegotiating retail rate contract, while MHS/ESRX were talking merger.ESRX did not seek MHS to help fight WAG. MHS sought ESRX because of future lost business from UNH, Calpers, FEP, etc. ESRX used the potential merger as a positive to put a strangle hold on WAG. No way WAG walks away.As far as banking goes, they have been in talks for awhile and the banks have been on board. These mergers are not risky at all. Your combining similar business to leverage purchasing power. WAG needs to focus on competitive future. With WMT, MHS/ESRX, and CVS, who will be 1, 2, 3, 4 in next 5 years.CVS has caremark to draw business towards CVS as we go to preferred/ restricted networks. WMT with humana. What does WAG have, what are there options? They no longer will have ESRX or MHS to merge with? Is it possible that ESRX/MHS one day buy WAG?? What are your thought on MHS/ESRX impact to WAG bottom line/ top line?
As reported in the Seattle times August 1, 2011.If you sat on the board I would think others board members would look at trending growth!!As reported in the Seattle times August 1, 2011.Membership in Humana's stand-alone Medicare prescription drug plans was up 41 percent from a year ago at 2.4 million members. Humana credited the upswing in part to teaming with retail giant Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to offer a Medicare prescription drug plan.Retail is at the end of the Insurance chain, this is lesson that should beconsidered from the Above referenced article.
Who is the "gorilla" now boys?
I wonder how fast Wag is burning thru that $2B announced buyback with the most recent event.Yank your Up to Bat..Could the number be higher than 20% of revenue loss?CVS/CareMark must be licking their lipswith Walmart being a co-host for this cenntenial Dinner. Sushi anyone!! This possible revenue loss is beyond a Slap, A class action more likely.. So what do you think the outcome in the Walgreens/ESRX conflict will be..CMxgen I give you a home run.Adam Fein where are you???, because a few of our own investors in this Sector saw this future direction ..Check Mate..Regards,

This is Terrific. Being more of a coffee drinker, I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this. I have a new favorite. The combination of the Amaretto and Grand Marnier was perfect. I followed the recipe exact and enjoyed this in a heavy mug and again in a glass tumbler with shortbread cookies! YUM. Thanks for sharing another great soothing beverage.

Photos: Mayweather, Canelo Face To Face in Grand Rapids
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Floyd "Money" Mayweather went home Wednesday and an estimated 2,000 enthusiastic fans, friends and family members were there to see the legendary fighter and his upcoming opponent, Canelo Alvarez, at Houseman Field in Grand Rapids, Mich.
The third stop of an unprecedented 11-city, two-country, nine-day media blitz to promote Mayweather's eagerly anticipated Saturday, Sept. 14 showdown with Alvarez at the MGM Grand Garden Arena which will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV® had the look and feel of a state fair or carnival. There was a marching band, cotton candy, snow cones, and bouncy houses to play in.
Those in attendance included 300 children who were bussed in from the Grand Rapids Public School System summer program. Mayweather is an alumni of the Grand Rapids school system.
Immediately following the event, Mayweather, Canelo and their teams flew to Chicago where they will host the second of today's two events at The Chicago Theatre (5:00 p.m. CT). The media tour continues tomorrow, Thursday, June 27, at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta.
Mayweather showed his appreciation, "To the city of Grand Rapids, you believed in me when no one else would. I want to thank all my fans and Canelo's fans, but one thing we know, fans can't fight for you.''
"THE ONE: MAYWEATHER VS. CANELO," a 12-round fight for Canelo's WBC, WBA and Ring Magazine Super Welterweight World Championships and Mayweather's WBA Super Welterweight Super World Championship taking place Saturday, Sept. 14 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, Golden Boy Promotions and Canelo Promotions and sponsored by Corona, O'Reilly Auto Parts and Valvoline.

When it comes to fashion, Hillary Clinton, wife of Democratic nominee Hill Clinton, is, well, democratic. "She's not extravagant; she shops in department stores," says Cliff Chally, the Designing Women costume designer who refreshed Mrs. Clinton's wardrobe before July's Democratic National Convention. Chally recommended a few St. John knits ("They travel like a dream") for the size-8 Clinton, 44, who, he says, "has simple, classic taste." In that spirit, PEOPLE asked four top designers to deck her out for the rest of the campaign.

Down To The Wire: Need An Extension?
|Email Print
If you haven't filed your taxes yet, check out the date… you have less than a week to do it. Do you really want to spend a sunny warm weekend indoors pouring over filing forms or sitting in front of your computer trying to fill out little boxes? Heck no! That's why you need to file an extension.
Here are the two important facts, straight from H&R Block themselves:
please add your thoughts now! }
Notify the IRS – If a taxpayer files an extension with the IRS (Form 4868) he or she will have until Oct. 16 to complete their tax return. (Taxpayers living and working outside the US have an automatic two-month extension to June 15. They can request an additional 4-month extension by filing Form 4868.)
Preparing Form 4868 isn't always easy, so the taxpayer should plan ahead. Using a tax professional or a digital solution (online or software) may simplify the task. They may also visit www.hrblock.com to file an extension electronically or to find the nearest year-round H&R Block office.
File later, pay now – The extension to file will not give taxpayers more time to pay their tax bill. Taxpayers should estimate their tax liability and pay as much as they can by April 17. Underpayments are subject to penalties and interest.

Returning Diapers
For store credit but they did not sell the box count that I had
Walmart will exchange them.
A (27) + J (28) = C (2) & #2 (edd 12-8-14)

Walmart lets you do 3 no receipt return transactions per year on your drivers license, but I think they cap the overall total at $150. Target has unlimited returns up on your driver's license upto $70 a year, but usually if it goes over that amount if you ask to speak with a manager they will allow you to do an exchange in the same department (it's based on the first 3 digits of the product code, so it can be pretty limited in what you exchange for), But they will not take back the diapers they don't carry, so if you have a 240 count box of luvs that Target doesn't carry they won't return them. And also remember that without a receipt at BOTH locations you get hte lowest sale price within the last 45 days (I think for Walmart) and 90 days at Target.
Used to work at Target so I am pretty familiar with the return policy at both. Lol.
Oh don't bother with Kmart if you have one near you -they absolutely will not do a return or an exchange without a receipt, no exceptions.
Ember (7/4/09). Dahlia (7/18/12). Zora expected around 1/1/16.
our walmart will not take them back, but you can exchange them for another size.
I bought a bunch of preemie diapers for my dd (she was 5lbs and nb was too big). I also bought some other items that day. when I got home, we tossed the bags, w/ the receipts in them. A few days later, I decided to use cloth diapers instead. Went to return the diapers and walmart would NOT give me store credit or refund my money because I did not have a receipt. I even asked if they could look up the items on my card (like they can do at Target) and they said no. My only option was to exchange them for another size. I didn't want another size. So, I just simply kept them and used them. But I was so pissed. I can't believe they couldn't do a receipt look up w/ my debit card. I hate walmart. That's why I seldom shop there. Those diapers were my first purchase at a walmart in over 6 months. they suck.
sorry...this has turned into a rant about walmart.

As per CEO,
I'm hesitant, frankly, to discuss April, although I will because it's pretty exciting. One month is not a trend, but we're seeing a significant uptick in demand and sales, partly due to a restocking of wholesalers from March, when we were right at the bottom of our 14- to 28-day inventory level at the wholesalers, so we are seeing a recovery of that sell down of inventories, which is what we've hoped for. But we're also seeing a pretty strong improvement in fundamental demand as you've seen in the recent IMS data. So I'm hoping, with our sales force out there doing their job with the medical information we're communicating, this is the beginning of a much stronger quarter.
hate to break it to you, but you can easily see through PR jargon like this, basically trying to cover their butt! FIDO is not selling and hasn't for the past 2-3 years since launch. What makes you think this has change???? It's a combination lower incidence rates in the USA and competition from generic Vanc. Both are extemely bad news for OPTR. The cost/benefit is simply not attractive....
LOL Pro....good to see you back, loser. You're still haven't been right about anything.
All of the above, just one man's opinion.

Marquez: Entire Team To Blame For Chavez Drug Issue
By Miguel Rivera
WBO 140-pound champion Juan Manuel Marquez acknowledged he was shocked by the news that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. tested positive for marijuana after his fight with Sergio Martinez, which took place on September 15th. Marquez feels that the entire team, from the bottom to the top, should take the blame for the postive test result - and not just the fighter himself.
"Neither myself nor anyone else expected Junior to test positive. I think we now have to look on the bright side of all of this. He will not make this mistake again, this will help him mature," Marquez said. "As [Chavez] wins so does the entire team, and his mistakes should be placed on them as well. It's not just a problem for Chavez, it's a problem for the entire team."
Marquez faces Manny Pacquiao for a fourth time on December 8th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. He Mexican veteran calls himself the "champion of the people" and in closing he promised "I'll prove that I'm better than him."

Just some random thoughts on the WWDC keynote.
Got to hand it to Apple, in that despite the huge build up of anticipation and numbers of rumours floating round, they managed to pull off the keynote without a huge backlash of disappointment. Mainly by producing a pretty spectacular number of announcements all paced at the right time.
Quickly skipping past my predictions, the core announcements were a refresh of the MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros, a next generation MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Mountain Lion and iOS6.
The masterstroke was to introduce "One More Thing" only a quarter of the way into proceedings. After announcing some speed bumps and price reductions for the current line up, Apple dramatically introduced a new model under covers. At that point, all the disappointment of Apple not refreshing the entire laptop line with new processors, new form factor and retina displays were dismissed in an instant as the new beast was unveiled. A brand new "next generation" MacBook Pro – completely redesigned and re-imagined from scratch. Thin, extremely powerful and with the hugely anticipated retina display.
Game over!
Apple could have finished the keynote right there and everyone would be ecstatic.
It's so obvious when you think about it. No way could Apple refresh the entire line, that would be madness. But a single new machine brimming with new technology and connectivity. The introduction and timing was a masterstroke.
If you're a regular follower to my blog, you'll know that I've pretty much switched to the 11″ MacBook Air as my main production machine. I'm still happy with the arrangement but I have been waiting for the revisions to the range, mainly to upgrade the processor speed, the RAM and perhaps a bigger screen. With the introduction of the next generation MacBook Pro, I think I've found the ideal combination of speed and portability. So immediately after the keynote, I placed an order for this configuration:
- 2.7GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
- 16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
- 512GB Flash Storage
Not cheap, but less than I would have spent actually going to WWDC which was originally planned.
Will keep you posted on my thoughts once it arrives and I put it through its paces.
The rest of the keynote covered Mountain Lion and iOS 6.
Some new features in Mountain Lion and Apple are aggressively pushing it as a must have upgrade – just $19.99 and available from next month. For it to be so close to WWDC, you have to think that it may have been targeted for release at WWDC and slipped. Some solid new features, well worth upgrading for, but it remains to be seen just how many people will be excluded from upgrading due to machine limitations. It was surprising to me to see the new Power Nap feature only being available on the most modern machines.
iOS6 also delivered some pretty neat features. The new Maps feature looks a solid 1.0 release but I remain to be convinced that the "Flyover" feature is nothing more than eye candy. and extremely limited at the initial release. Still, Apple must be applauded for delivering such a enormous undertaking as rolling out your own mapping solution. Google mapping has an enormous head start over Apple so it may take Apple a while to produce a truly comparable service.
Some big updates to Siri too, especially in its functionality and coverage – but Sports? Meh 😉
The application I think will be a sleeper hit and will probably mature into something that will be seen as revolutionary is the new "PassBook". Most definitely Apple's first foray into turning the iPhone into your electronic wallet or payment system – I expect big things from "PassBook" in the future.
There's so much to cover in the keynote I'm going to leave it at that for now, except to say I was shocked to see the earlier rumours of iOS 6 not being available for the iPad1 come true. iOS6 is available for the 3GS but not the iPad 1? That doesn't seem right to me, although out of the two, the 3GS is still the only one still on sale.
The big omission was the non appearance of the Mac Pro, although it did receive a minor speed bump following the keynote. No Thunderbolt or USB3. Apparently, there are technical reasons for this, all not under Apples control, so I'll give them a let on this for now. I find it interesting that they didn't kill it stone dead, and that leads me to think that they still have plans for the Mac Pro line, now is just not the time.

IBM pushes state to keep layoffs confidentialJuly 16,2013
Staff Report
MONTPELIER - IBM wants to keep confidential the number of employees recently laid off at its Essex Junction facility.
IBM Monday complied with a state law requiring the company to provide the state with the names and other details of employees who were laid off last month.
However, according to the Department of Labor, "IBM asserts that all of the information provided, including the total number of affected employees, is highly sensitive and confidential commercial information."
IBM goes on to state that making public the information will cause competitive harm and damage individual employees.
The company cites Vermont's Public Record Act that exempts trade secret and competitive business information.
"While the department agrees that any information that could be used to identify individuals is exempt from disclosure, the department is not convinced that the total number of affected employees, as reflected in the notice, must be withheld from the public under Vermont law," the department said in a press release.
The department noted that it had received media requests for the total number of layoffs at the Vermont facility.
The state advised IBM to provide "any legal justification or other information to support its claimed confidentiality" and to file that information by noon on Thursday.
IBM was once the state's largest private employer with another round of layoffs, IBM has fallen to second place behind Fletcher Allen Health Care with 5,500 fulltime employees.MORE IN This Just InMORRISVILLE Overtime magic from Chloe Schiff and Maralina Moore gave the Solons a huge...

It's fair to say the golf world was pretty happy to see the ever-colorful Boo Weekley walk home the victor at Colonial after five years outside the winner's circle. Weekley may have credited his win to solid ball-striking (hitting about 85% and 72% of his fairways and greens, respectively), and back-to-back 66's in the third and fourth rounds, but I suspect the winner's prize has more to do with it.
Weekley's three career PGA Tour victories (two at the Verizon Heritage in Hilton Head, and one at Colonial) have now come at events that award plaid jackets to the winner. It makes sense that he pays close attention to these things--his unique fashion sense and cotton allergy are both well known--so we decided to put together a list of tournament "swag" that could have Boo Weekley's name all over it in the future.

Income Distribution (The International Library of Critical Writings in Economics series)
With increasing interest in the distribution of income generated by movements towards more inequality, this three volume contains articles on this controversial area. Volume one considers the problems of measurement and description and explores theories explaining the shape of distribution; it investigates explanations of the upper tail in terms of hierachies and organizations and present research on the dynamics of incomes. Volume two considers the determinants of an individual's income on the one hand and analyzes the factors influencing the entire distribution on the other. The third volume discusses non-labour income and polices that influence distribution.

Iran's President Hassan Rouhani has called on his United States counterpart Barack Obama to ignore ''warmongering pressure groups'' and seek better relations.
Speaking at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Rouhani said Iran poses ''absolutely no threat to the world'', in remarks widely watched for signs of a thaw with the US.

Obama opts for diplomacy in UN speech
US President Barack Obama tells the United Nations General Assembly that America remains committed to staying engaged with the world.
Rouhani condemned international sanctions against Iran and also hit out at America's use of drones.
But he said if Obama rejects ''the short-sighted interest of warmongering pressure groups, we can arrive at a framework to manage our differences''.
Rouhani spoke a few hours after Obama told the assembly that he wanted a ''meaningful agreement'' with Iran if it acted to end international concerns over its nuclear program.
The Iranian leader reaffirmed his country's position that its nuclear drive is ''exclusively peaceful''.
''Nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction have no place in Iran's security and defence doctrine, and contradict our fundamental religious and ethical convictions,'' he said.
He added that the international community had to accept Iran's nuclear activity, which Western nations say hides an attempt to reach a nuclear bomb capacity.
The UN Security Council has imposed four rounds of sanctions against Iran over its uranium enrichment.
But Rouhani said it is ''an illusion, and extremely unrealistic, to presume that the peaceful nature of the nuclear program of Iran could be ensured through impeding the program via illegitimate pressures''.
It was his first appearance on the world stage since he was elected in the summer.
Nuclear negotiations between Iran and six world powers have been stalled for months, but Iran agreed to a new meeting on Thursday on the sidelines of the General Assembly.
Rouhani said every issue can be resolved through moderation and rejection of violence.
