Hopkins Could Fight On, Lucian Bute a Possible Target
By Bill Emes
Former two division champion Bernard Hopkins (52-6-2, 32KOs) is possibly going to continue his career. The 47-year-old veteran has not made a final decision on whether or not he plans to hang up the gloves. On Saturday night at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Hopkins lost a twelve round majority decision to Chad Dawson (31-1, 17KOs).
According to Hopkins, he needs fights that "motivate" him. One particular possibility he mentioned is Lucian Bute (30-0, 24KOs), who in a couple of weeks will defend his title against Carl Froch (28-2, 20KOs).
"If you think tonight my swan song would be sung...no. Because I believe there are a lot of people who won't fight me and they already said so. It all depends on whether the motivation is a Bute or whether the motivation is something significant that I can once again prove that I an worthy of not only being the king of the division but prove that...................tonight somebody seen something different, I think different, but I'll let the chips fall where they might fall," Hopkins said.
"But as far as tonight being a night where I'll say 'it was great, it was fun, it was a struggle, it was hard, I'm done' - I would have to look at the whole landscape. I will talk, me and Oscar [ De La Hoya], me and Richard [Schaefer]. We always talk on the phone and I'll figure out what I want to do and what I'm comfortable with."
Hopkins did mention the possibility of being more involved as a partner in Golden Boy Promotions, and mentoring the younger fighters like WBC 140-pound champion Danny Garcia.
The reason Hopkins is hard to look good against is because he is dirt bag that doesn't want to fight. And if they fight I predict that Bute's wicked body shots will take out Bhop for the first time.Comment by twosweethooks on 04-30-2012
Well it looks like the only thing that will make Hopkins hang up the gloves is the get that good whupping and have that head warmed up real good, Bute may be the one , he has the uppercut to…Comment by Jack Napier on 04-29-2012
Hopkins could probably beat Bute he has to choose selectively if he's gonna keep fighting give him props for Dawson because that was a bad fight to take Bute doesn't have a style that Hopkins would struggle with think Bute…Comment by Camp Beast on 04-29-2012
[QUOTE=EngorgedW/Blood;12058305]Like I said before the Dawson fight, I'd like Hopkins to fight on. I predicted Hopkins would not lose badly to Dawson, and I predicted the loser of the fight would argue that he should've won. And that's exactly what…Comment by Light_Speed on 04-29-2012
[QUOTE=Tobi.G;12057800]Hopkins has clearly lost to Dawson! So why should he get another major fight just now? Why should Bute fight a guy that lost his last fight? Only because hopkins is 47?? Hopkins has to earn another pay day but…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (21)

villa sola cabiati — 29 Sep '16
They say it's one of the finest villas on Lake Como.
I've visited enough places to know nothing is what it seems. Dreamy photos of far off places are never as dreamy in real life. There are multiple ways to enjoy a place, but the most alluring imagery, the ones that demand you to enjoy a place in a particular way, usually fall short of the intense expectations. For instance, wandering around Paris thinking everything is the most romantic takes a lot of work, especially when you've wandered onto a dirty street with guys pushing fake designer perfume every couple steps.
As luxurious as the photos of Villa Sola Cabiati are, I'm only interested in the decorative details. The Villa's website has albums full of details. Damask textiles are draped all over guest rooms and the minimal bathrooms are adorned with vintage faucets and fixtures. I'm satisfied taking a virtual tour, surprisingly not jealous of the people who can afford $54,100 a week to stay here.

Food - The food was great. We enjoyed the "sail away" BBQ as well as the BBQ on the private island. We ate in the Garden Cafe as well as The Crossings dining room. The food and the service was great in both. The desserts were better on this cruise compared to a previous NCL cruise.
Ports - Our first port was Freeport. We just wanted to relax this day, so we didn't book any excursions. After a relaxing morning, we got off the ship to visit the little shops right in the port and then spent the rest of the day relaxing by the pool. The second port was Nassau where we did the Aqua Adventure at Atlantis. We enjoyed the water-park. It started to rain so we headed back to the ship and spent the rest of the afternoon just relaxing. The final day was spent on the NCL private island. This was by far my favorite day. The was a downpour of rain at one point and a lot of people left and went back to the ship. The storm didn't last long and it turned into a beautiful day. There are shops on the private island. In my opinion, they had the best souvenirs. I wish I had known about the shops here. I would've waited to buy all of my souvenirs here. It was a great relaxing day on a beautiful beach. There were different activities going on. My son was in a ping pong tournament and also a volleyball tournament. All of us had a great time.
Overall Thoughts - Loved the cruise. I am already looking at dates to book our next cruise on the Sky. I would recommend this cruise to anyone.

Obama Meets With Jobs, Raises Cash on West Coast Campaign Swing
President Barack Obama appealed to Democratic donors in Silicon Valley and met with Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs on the second day of a western campaign swing to defend his party's congressional majorities against Republican gains in the Nov. 2 elections.
Obama sandwiched a 45-minute meeting with Jobs just after landing in the San Francisco area yesterday in between campaign appearances in Seattle on behalf of Washington Democratic Senator Patty Murray and two fundraisers where the party was aiming to raise about $1.8 million.
"They discussed American competitiveness and education, especially reforms such as the president's Race to the Top initiative," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said in a statement afterward. "They then talked about energy independence and ways to increase job creation."
Gibbs told reporters earlier that the session with Jobs was "a meeting the president was interested in having" so they could discuss the economy and innovation.
The president arrived in the Bay Area to help the Democratic National Committee raise money at separate fundraisers held at the homes of clean technology venture capitalist Steve Westly and Marissa Mayer, Google Inc.'s vice president of search products.
At Mayer's Palo Alto home, Obama said the "can-do spirit" of Silicon Valley must be revived in the U.S. more broadly.
'Structural Problems'
"My task over the last two years hasn't just been to stop the bleeding, my task has also been to try to figure out, how do we address some of the structural problems in the economy that have prevented more Googles from being created, prevented more Hewlett-Packards from being created?" Obama said.
The meeting with Jobs wasn't on the president's official schedule. They last met during the 2008 campaign, according to Gibbs.
Jobs has supported Democratic candidates and organizations in the past. He donated $50,000 to the DNC in 2000 and $26,700 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2006, according to Federal Election Commission records. Jobs also contributed $1,000 to former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel when Emanuel was running for the U.S. House in 2004.
On Oct. 19, Apple predicted profit of $4.80 a share for this quarter, short of the $5.03 average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg before the announcement. Apple has risen 46.9 percent so far this year.
Senate Race
Obama is scheduled to leave for Los Angeles today for an event with California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer. She is in a close race for re-election against Republican Carly Fiorina, the former chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard Co..
California voters also will decide another of the year's most high-profile contests in the governor's race between former EBay Inc. CEO Meg Whitman, the Republican nominee, and Democratic state Attorney General Jerry Brown, a former governor.
A poll by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California showed Brown with a 44-36 percent lead among likely voters. Boxer leads Fiorina 43-38 percent in the same poll.
In Seattle earlier yesterday, Obama focused on two key constituencies, women and young voters.
He told a group of women at a backyard town hall-style event that his initiatives will help them prosper in the workplace and benefit their families. There, and at a rally at the University of Washington, he took aim at Republicans, who are poised to make gains in the midterm elections, saying they would return to policies that led to the worst recession since the Great Depression.
Reminding Voters
"Well Seattle, it's up to you to tell them you haven't forgotten," Obama said to a crowd at the university. "It's up to you to say, 'We are not buying what you are selling.'"
With less than two weeks before the election, the president is seeking to rouse the party's base and revive some of the enthusiasm, especially among younger voters, that helped him win the presidency in 2008.
"We need you fired up, Seattle," Obama said at the rally.
Murray is being challenged by Republican Dino Rossi, a businessman and former state senator. Vice President Joe Biden and first lady Michelle Obama have also appeared for Murray in recent weeks.
Lead in Poll
A poll by the Seattle-based university conducted Oct. 5-14 found Murray leading Rossi by 8 percentage points, 50 percent to 42 percent among registered voters. The poll has an error margin of plus or minus 4.3 percentage points.
The campaign help from Obama, Biden and others "will only help solidify the lead," said Matt Barreto, an associate professor of political science at the university and director of the poll.
Obama is still popular in the western portions of the state, particularly Seattle, he said.
After the events in Southern California today, Obama heads to Nevada to campaign for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Nevada's 14.4 percent jobless rate is the highest in the U.S., and the home foreclosure rate is five times the national average, according to RealtyTrac Inc. of Irvine, California.
Reid's race against Sharon Angle, who is backed by the Tea Party, is rated a toss-up by the non-partisan Rothenberg Political Report in Washington.
Before returning to the capital tomorrow, Obama is scheduled to campaign for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton in Minnesota.

A deeper side to just darn cute
By Catherine P. Lewis
Friday, Apr. 20, 2012
The playful name Allo Darlin' perfectly captures the twee-pop band's carefree, up-tempo sound. But despite the whimsy in its name, the U.K.-based quartet doesn't focus just on happy sentiments. Instead, it tackles relationship woes and other wistful moments on its second album, "Europe," all with the same C86 sound it established on its debut.
These new songs do have a richer guitar sound than the group's earlier recordings. Lush, jangly guitar tones serve the band well on such songs as "Capricornia" and "Still Young," while "Wonderland" recalls the group's predecessors the Field Mice. "Some People Say" begins sparsely, with the spotlight on Elizabeth Morris's breathily cooed lyrics, but the rest of the band joins in by the second verse, complementing Morris's nostalgia with a somber tone and subtle flourishes (especially from a slide guitar).
"Europe" drags a bit when its sound grows thin; the solo ukulele number, "Tallulah," feels out of place among songs with fuller, noisier instrumentation. The choice might be a nod to Allo Darlin's beginnings as Morris's solo project - and her vocals here are certainly on point, capturing a melancholy yearning - but the song's momentum-killing placement in the middle of the album only serves to show by contrast how far the band has grown.

Bulgaria is a country of about 7.2 million people, and has been a member of the European Union (EU) since 2007.
Bulgaria has undergone a significant transformation over the last twenty years. It has moved from being a highly centralized, planned economy to an open, market-based, upper middle income economy securely anchored in the European Union. In its initial transition to a market economy, the country went through a decade of slow economic restructuring and growth, high indebtedness, and loss of savings.
However, advancement of structural reforms starting in the late 90s, the introduction of the currency board and expectations of EU accession unleashed a decade of exceptionally high economic growth and improved living standards of Bulgarians. Yet, some legacy issues from the early period of transition, the global economic crisis of 2008 and a period of political instability in 2013-14 undid some of the gains achieved during the high growth period.
Now, in its pursuit of boosting growth and shared prosperity, Bulgaria is moving to address these issues. It will take a shift towards growth-enhancing and poverty-friendly policies, as well as sustained efforts to build strong institutions that protect the rights of all Bulgarians and ensure well-functioning markets, to put Bulgaria on a higher growth trajectory.
Today Bulgaria faces the two inter-related challenges of raising productivity and addressing issues related to the country's rapid demographic change. Higher productivity growth is critical for accelerating convergence as Bulgaria's income per capita is only 47 percent of the EU average, the lowest in the EU. Productivity will need to grow by at least 4 percent per year over the next 25 years for Bulgaria to catch up with average EU income levels and thus boost shared prosperity. Since 2008, however, productivity growth has been slowing down.
At the same time, Bulgaria is facing a significant decline in the size of the working age population, putting at risk future growth prospects in an already challenging global environment.
Within only three decades, Bulgaria has become the third oldest country in Europe and by 2050 its working age population is projected to be lower than in 2010, the steepest decline in the world. Bulgaria's geographic location also places it on the EU's frontline of many geopolitical and energy security issues of the day.
Building on Bulgaria's achievements, the World Bank Group has adapted its business model to support the country's goal of EU convergence. Its partnership with Bulgaria is based on a flexible framework that takes into account Bulgaria's priorities as an EU member state.
The evolving partnership represents an important step taken by the Government of Bulgaria to draw on the World Bank's expertise to develop and implement strategies and programs in a range of sectors under Operational Programs financed by EU Structural Funds.
On September 1, 2015, the World Bank's Vice-President for Europe and Central Asia, Cyril Muller, and Bulgaria's Deputy Prime Minister for EU Funds and Economic Policies, Tomislav Donchev, signed a new MoU on partnership and support in the implementation of the European Structural and Investment Funds for 2014-2020 period.

Backstage Pass
Backstage Pass
You've just seen the latest touring Broadway musical, and the show was so good you're humming the tunes on the way home. But suddenly you think to yourself, I wonder what the cast is like? What do they look like without stage makeup? And how do those tap dancers stay in shape?
These are exactly the kinds of questions that are answered during the Discover Broadway series at the Broward County Main Library. Presented by the library and the Florida Theatrical Association, the series features the casts and crews of touring productions who reveal behind-the-scenes techniques and share show-biz experiences. On Thursday, for example, you can meet the actors portraying Belle and Beast from Disney's Beauty and the Beast, which is running at the Broward Center For the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale.
When the studly dancers from Tap Dogs visited the library last year, the inquiring crowd wanted to know how exhausted they get during the physically demanding show. Sherry Lynch, assistant library communications director, recalls one of the dancers admitting that he was so tired during a rehearsal that he almost nodded off while perched on a ladder.
Lynch says she's picked up all sorts of interesting theater lore, and not just from the big stars. Understudies and backstage crew members also provide interesting perspectives. For example, when Cats was in town, the makeup folks showed how they hide tiny microphones in the hair of the performers. When someone asked how the actors keep their feline faces smudge-free, the audience member was told that powder is applied between each layer of kitty face-paint.

Beth Zickar, special projects coordinator for the library, says she was particularly interested in the sound and lighting operator from the show Full Gallop, starring Elizabeth Ashley. Zickar saw the production last year and was wondering about the maid, a character who's heard but doesn't appear on stage. The sound expert revealed that there was no actress -- at least not in person. Her lines were provided by a recorded voice.
"To people who enjoy the theater," says Lynch, "they now have a view of the theater they've never seen before."

A traditional "60/40" allocation to stocks and bonds may no longer be enough to provide you with the returns and diversification needed to achieve your long-term goals. Over the past 10 years most portfolios carried predominantly equity risk: a 60/40 portfolio moved in the same direction as the S&P 500 Index 99% of the time1.
A look at various possible portfolio allocations using the classic "efficient frontier" curve, which shows the optimal portfolios for generating the highest returns for defined levels of risk, demonstrates the potential of alternatives. When selected for their low correlation to other parts of a portfolio, alternative investments may help lower volatility, enhance returns and broaden diversification.
The New Diversification: Open Your Eyes to Alternatives
When it comes to diversification, the "old rules" may not work as well as they used to. Incorporating alternative strategies can help to augment and diversify your sources of risk, while also introducing potentially new sources of return.
The (New) Tools of the Trade
Using the same investment processes and tools from the past limits an investor's ability to succeed in today's environment. The world has changed and ways to manage money have evolved with it.
Market Volatility Can Erode a Portfolio's Value
Alternative investments can help you mitigate the effects of market volatility on your portfolio while providing attractive returns.
Diversification is Difficult When Correlations Are Rising
A "diversified" portfolio of stocks and bonds has been moving nearly in lock step with the stock market. Alternatives can potentially lower this correlation and dampen the effects of market volatility.
Rewarding Risk: How the Science of 'Rewarded Risk' is Redefining Diversification
Diversifying risk is essential, but it is not enough to only balance exposure to asset classes.

Developing a Custom Destination Component
Applies To: SQL Server 2016 Preview
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services gives developers the ability to write custom destination components that can connect to and store data in any custom data source. Custom destination components are useful when you need to connect to data sources that cannot be accessed by using one of the existing source components included with Integration Services.
Destination components have one or more inputs and zero outputs. At design time, they create and configure connections and read column metadata from the external data source. During execution, they connect to their external data source and add rows that are received from the components upstream in the data flow to the external data source. If the external data source exists prior to execution of the component, the destination component must also ensure that the data types of the columns that the component receives match the data types of the columns at the external data source.
This section discusses the details of how to develop destination components, and provides code examples to clarify important concepts. For a general overview of data flow component development, see Developing a Custom Data Flow Component.
Implementing the design-time functionality of a destination component involves specifying a connection to an external data source and validating that the component has been correctly configured. By definition, a destination component has one input and possibly one error output.
Creating the Component
Destination components connect to external data sources by using ConnectionManager objects defined in a package. The destination component indicates its requirement for a connection manager to the SSIS Designer, and to users of the component, by adding an element to the RuntimeConnectionCollection collection of the ComponentMetaData. This collection serves two purposes: first, it advertises the need for a connection manager to SSIS Designer; then, after the user has selected or created a connection manager, it holds a reference to the connection manager in the package that is being used by the component. When an IDTSRuntimeConnection100 is added to the collection, the Advanced Editor displays the Connection Properties tab, to prompt the user to select or create a connection in the package for use by the component.
The following code sample shows an implementation of ProvideComponentProperties that adds an input, and then adds a IDTSRuntimeConnection100 object to the RuntimeConnectionCollection.
Imports System Imports System.Data Imports System.Data.SqlClient Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime Namespace Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer.Dts <DtsPipelineComponent(DisplayName:="Destination Component", ComponentType:=ComponentType.DestinationAdapter)> _ Public Class DestinationComponent Inherits PipelineComponent Public Overrides Sub ProvideComponentProperties() ' Reset the component. Me.RemoveAllInputsOutputsAndCustomProperties() ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection.RemoveAll() Dim input As IDTSInput100 = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.New() input.Name = "Input" Dim connection As IDTSRuntimeConnection100 = ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection.New() connection.Name = "ADO.net" End Sub End Class End Namespace
Connecting to an External Data Source
After a connection is added to the RuntimeConnectionCollection, you override the AcquireConnections method to establish a connection to the external data source. This method is called at design time and at run time. The component must establish a connection to the connection manager specified by the run-time connection, and subsequently, to the external data source. Once established, the component should cache the connection internally and release it when ReleaseConnections is called. Developers override this method, and release the connection established by the component during AcquireConnections. Both of these methods, ReleaseConnections and AcquireConnections, are called at design time and at run time.
The following code example shows a component that connects to an ADO.NET connection in the AcquireConnections method, and then closes the connection in ReleaseConnections.
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper Private sqlConnection As SqlConnection Public Overrides Sub AcquireConnections(ByVal transaction As Object) If IsNothing(ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection(0).ConnectionManager) = False Then Dim cm As ConnectionManager = DtsConvert.GetWrapper(ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection(0).ConnectionManager) Dim cmado As ConnectionManagerAdoNet = CType(cm.InnerObject,ConnectionManagerAdoNet) If IsNothing(cmado) Then Throw New Exception("The ConnectionManager " + cm.Name + " is not an ADO.NET connection.") End If sqlConnection = CType(cmado.AcquireConnection(transaction), SqlConnection) sqlConnection.Open() End If End Sub Public Overrides Sub ReleaseConnections() If IsNothing(sqlConnection) = False And sqlConnection.State <> ConnectionState.Closed Then sqlConnection.Close() End If End Sub
Validating the Component
Destination component developers should perform validation as described in Component Validation. In addition, they should verify that the data type properties of the columns defined in the component's input column collection match the columns at the external data source. At times, verifying the input columns against the external data source can be impossible or undesirable, such as when the component or the SSIS Designer is in a disconnected state, or when round trips to the server are not acceptable. In these situations, the columns in the input column collection can still be validated by using the ExternalMetadataColumnCollection of the input object.
This collection exists on both input and output objects and must be populated by the component developer from the columns at the external data source. This collection can be used to validate the input columns when the SSIS Designer is offline, when the component is disconnected, or when the ValidateExternalMetadata property is false.
The following sample code adds an external metadata column based on an existing input column.
Private Sub AddExternalMetaDataColumn(ByVal input As IDTSInput100, ByVal inputColumn As IDTSInputColumn100) ' Set the properties of the external metadata column. Dim externalColumn As IDTSExternalMetadataColumn100 = input.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection.New() externalColumn.Name = inputColumn.Name externalColumn.Precision = inputColumn.Precision externalColumn.Length = inputColumn.Length externalColumn.DataType = inputColumn.DataType externalColumn.Scale = inputColumn.Scale ' Map the external column to the input column. inputColumn.ExternalMetadataColumnID = externalColumn.ID End Sub
During execution, the destination component receives a call to the ProcessInput method each time a full PipelineBuffer is available from the upstream component. This method is called repeatedly until there are no more buffers available and the EndOfRowset property is true. During this method, destination components read columns and rows in the buffer, and add them to the external data source.
Locating Columns in the Buffer
The input buffer for a component contains all the columns defined in the output column collections of the components upstream from the component in the data flow. For example, if a source component provides three columns in its output, and the next component adds an additional output column, the buffer provided to the destination component contains four columns, even if the destination component will write only two columns.
The order of the columns in the input buffer is not defined by the index of the column in the input column collection of the destination component. Columns can be reliably located in a buffer row only by using the FindColumnByLineageID method of the BufferManager. This method locates the column that has the specified lineage ID in the specified buffer, and returns its location in the row. The indexes of the input columns are typically located during the PreExecute method, and cached by the developer for use later during ProcessInput.
The following code example finds the location of the input columns in the buffer during PreExecute and stores them in an array. The array is subsequently used during ProcessInput to read the values of the columns in the buffer.
Private cols As Integer() Public Overrides Sub PreExecute() Dim input As IDTSInput100 = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection(0) ReDim cols(input.InputColumnCollection.Count) For x As Integer = 0 To input.InputColumnCollection.Count cols(x) = BufferManager.FindColumnByLineageID(input.Buffer, input.InputColumnCollection(x).LineageID) Next x End Sub
Processing Rows
Once the input columns have been located in the buffer, they can be read and written to the external data source.
While the destination component writes rows to the external data source, you may want to update the "Rows read" or "BLOB bytes read" performance counters by calling the IncrementPipelinePerfCounter method. For more information, see Performance Counters.
The following example shows a component that reads rows from the buffer provided in ProcessInput. The indexes of the columns in the buffer were located during PreExecute in the preceding code example.
Public Overrides Sub ProcessInput(ByVal inputID As Integer, ByVal buffer As PipelineBuffer) While (buffer.NextRow()) For Each col As Integer In cols If buffer.IsNull(col) = False Then ' TODO: Read the column data. End If Next col End While End Sub
The following sample shows a simple destination component that uses a File connection manager to save binary data from the data flow into files.

PROVO, Utah (AP) - Polygamist Tom Green's television appearances and other evidence made a guilty verdict inevitable, jurors said Tuesday.
Green was found guilty Friday of four counts of bigamy and one count of failure to pay child support. He faces up to 25 years in prison and $25,000 in fines when he is sentenced June 27.
On Tuesday, five of the eight jurors who decided his case said they were confident they made the right decision. Three others - Roger Elsmore, Kim Ferguson and Peggy Lindsay - were unavailable.
"I think it would have been very difficult, judging by the evidence and what the law was, to do anything other than what I did," juror Alyson Keiser said.
Green, 52, is the first Utah man to be found guilty of bigamy in nearly 50 years, and his case has drawn media attention from around the world.
But the jurors said they were able to tune out the hype and focus on the facts presented during the weeklong trial.
"For us, it didn't come into play whether we agreed with Tom Green or disagreed with Tom Green, whether we advocated or condemned his lifestyle," said Jeff Forsyth, one of the three men on the jury. "For us, it's a matter of the evidence that's presented to us, does it fall within the bounds of what the law will allow or without the bounds of what the law will allow."
Before the trial began, Green had said he would not get a fair trial in Utah County, which is estimated to be 90 percent Mormon. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which brought plural marriage to Utah, now excommunicates polygamists, and Green said Mormon jurors would be biased against him.
But the jurors - who refused to reveal their religious affiliation - said religion was never discussed in the jury room. They also said they could not accept religious beliefs as an excuse for criminal behavior.
"I think he chose to live what his god tells him instead of what the law tells him," said Andrea Mitchell. "And he needs to somehow figure out how to work those together because you've got to live how the law says or you'll pay."
But that didn't mean the panel was heartless, especially when it came to Green's enormous family. His five wives and 25 of his children live a hardscrabble life in a cluster of trailer homes in Utah's West Desert. They will be left on their own if Green is sentenced.
"I think that was probably the hardest thing," said Cecilee Nelson, the jury's forewoman. "We had a lot of emotions in the room because of the family. But when it came right down to a decision, we felt sorry for his family and we felt bad that this terrible thing had to happen to the family. But those were the choices that he made."
"It's their children that I really find my heart goes out to," added Holly Mitchell.
The jury was introduced to the children through excerpts from their appearances on a half-dozen television shows, including "Dateline" and "The Jerry Springer Show."
Before the trial, Juab County prosecutor David Leavitt said the media exposure tipped him off to Green and convinced him he had a provable case. On Tuesday, the jurors said they would have had more difficulty convicting Green without those shows.
"The video clips helped us a lot, I think," Nelson said. "The video clips were his testimony."
The other crucial piece of evidence in the case, jurors said, was a judge's ruling that Green and his first polygamous wife, Linda, were legally married under Utah's common law, even though they didn't have a valid marriage license.
"It showed that he was guilty," said Andrea Mitchell. "It showed the times that he had been married to Linda he had lived and cohabited with his other wives. That was definite. There was no question on that."
There was no question, either, that the jurors were happy to have this case behind them.
"It's been a very interesting experience," Holly Mitchell said. "I'm glad that I'm not up (for jury duty) again for three years."

The biggest surprise for the Patriots in the AFC Championship game was BenJarvus Green-Ellis' performance against a stout Ravens' defense.
Green-Ellis put together an awesome performance running the ball for 68 yards and touchdown. While this doesn't seem like an amazing stat line, considering the team he was facing and the expectations coming in, it was a great game.
The Patriots may not be in the Super Bowl without him.
However, I don't see Green-Ellis being a game changer in the Super Bowl like he was in the AFC Championship Game.
The Giants don't have an elite run defense, but they have been playing fantastic football as they headed in to the postseason. That trend hasn't stopped.
The Giants' front seven will be all over the Patriots rushing attack and "The Law Firm" will struggle to find the holes he did against the Ravens.

Two veteran Philadelphia police officials were disciplined Friday for their roles in an alleged cover-up of a scuffle between a pair of patrol cops and the grandson of a retired police captain.
Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey said that Inspector Aaron Horne and Capt. John McCloskey were both suspended for 30 days without pay.
Horne, the commander of the Northwest Police Division, was transferred to the Forensic Science Bureau.
Horne had been in line for a promotion to chief inspector later this year. "Unfortunately, at this moment, that's not an option," Ramsey said.

Skip to comments.Newt Gingrich: Walking dead out of Alabama, Mississippi
Posted on 03/14/2012 3:11:51 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
NATCHITOCHES, La., March 14, 2012It was a good night for Rick Santorum. It was not a good night for Mitt Romney. Newt Gingrich is a zombie.
President Obama might want to celebrate tonights election results in the morning with a nice bowl of grits for breakfast.
Gingrichs southern strategy is dead, and so is his campaign. The only southerner in the race, hes said all along that the South would help him to the nomination. ... He came in a close second in both, results that would be respectable if he had more wins to his credit. But he doesnt. Theres no way Gingrich can spin the nights results into victory.
Nor can Romney, but his campaign remains very much alive. The mathematics of the delegate race didnt demand that he win if he and Santorum traded results, the effect would be a gain of only seven delegates for Romney but a victory in either state would have been a definite boost. He won some delegates, and if he wins Hawaii and American Samoa, as is widely expected, his delegate lead will grow, but the losses still hurt, and they illustrate a serious weakness.
Romney could have won in Mississippi, and even Alabama wasnt out of reach. He had sufficient support on paper to win, and the spread between him and Santorum was actually quite narrow. Between him and Gingrich the gap was even narrower, and second-place would have been just fine. But his supporters werent sufficiently supportive to actually go out and vote. He showed, if anyone needed showing, that his support is a mile wide and an inch deep. His supporters preferred to stay home and watch CSI, and so Romney came in third.
(Excerpt) Read more at communities.washingtontimes.com ...
But now that he's placed 2nd in Alabama and Mississippi (and 1st in South Carolina and Georgia ) he's a "rejected" Southerner who has "failed miserably" and must slink off in shame.
A picture of a zombie character is posted with this OpEd, just in case you needed a visual to get your thinking straight.
Newt Gingrich is right.
If the GOP Primary was a "two-man" race, Mitt Romney, the GOP-E, the MSM and his super PAC would turn all their guns on Santorum and take him out.
"NOTE: The "soft" delegate count is this website's estimate of the potential delegate support for each contender based on key delegate selection events already held and is subject to change as we get closer to the National Conventions; the "hard" count is the tabulation of delegates already formally pledged or bound by law and/or Party rules."
"I shouldn't have gone to motivations," Carney said. "I should have said that anybody who said that doesn't know what he's talking about."
......."What [President Obama] is not willing to do is to look the American people in the eye and claim that there is a strategy by which he can guarantee the price of gas will be $2.50 at the pump," Carney said yesterday. "Any politician who does that is lying."
Gingrich spokesman Joe DeSantis said Carney's pivot was evidence the Speaker was "in the president's head."......
Three in the race keeps pounding the conservative message and keeps pounding obama.
If not for the continued primary, the gas price message may only have been coming from one person or not at all. If not for the continued primary, the healthcare debate would be quite different - obamacare or romneycare vs private or gov't run insurance.
Me, I'm glad for the primary like this. It really keeps the pressure on to satisfy primary voters. I think a brokered convention is fine.
Romney as our nominee will have a hard time b/c he doesn't move the base.
Santorum as our nominee will have a hard time b/c he is only socially conservative [and is a big gov't man.]
Newt as our nominee will have a hard time b/c our base doesn't like his personal history.
But keeping them all pushing for conservative ideals is working to the benefit of conservative ideas.
If only Mitt were in the race, the debate would be lost on abortion, homo marriage, and health care.
If only Rick were in the race, the debate would be lost on small government/lower taxes.
If only Newt were in the race, the debate would be lost on family values.
Pick your poison. But all three in "keeps them honest". JMO
Yeah I just sent more money to him that I don't have.
I think he's the best one to lead the fight.
He is holding the line. CONSERVATISM will be THE issue in Tampa!
Making the GOP-e hear our voices: Newt $2.50 gallon.
[Make that number more than 175,000 small donors!]
And it's smoking out the RINOs in the party establishment and the media.
I wish Newt had done better, but with that being said he shouldn't get out of the race.
The idea that 33-32 is "winning" and that the guy with the 32 is a "loser" who should drop out is absurd.
The purpose of the primaries (does anyone remember) is to elect delegates to a deliberative body (the convention). What the deliberative body is supposed to deliberate about is who has the best chance of beating Obama in November.
Right now, that is as clear as mud. AND, after a long hot summer of OWS and black violence, with war perhaps underway and oil at $250, and unknown consequences of pending court cases, who knows? The correct answer on August 31 may be very, very different than what seems correct now.
If Gingrich had the 33 and Santorum the 32, that would not make Gingrich a "winner".
The one thing that's absolutely clear is that a strong and consistent MAJORITY of GOP voters don't want Romney.
Not that that matters.
That is what he told us in Florida-he said he would have everyone in the media on his bad side-we told him that we would have his back and to go for it. He has had it with the establishment/ I think he blames them mostly for the negativity towards his record.
35 Romney endorsers received contributions first
Newt is running like our nation's life depends upon it.
Which he believes, and I believe, and millions of fellow Americans believe, it literally does.
That makes this, and his, not a typical campaign.
The Media Elite don't get that, including this article and others, and including Faux News which not only stands for Romney, but also stands for despising Newt.
It goes without saying the GOP E don't get it.
These rose-colored glasses Newt people are wearing won't filter out Mitt winning the nomination because of him and then Mitt losing to Obama and then all of us losing America.
Gingrich has lost—he fought well but he came up short—now he must choose between his ego and the United States.
I will not relish an "I told you so" when it comes from a "reeducation" camp.

——Three in the race keeps pounding the conservative message-—
The money sentence or as Rush says the pull quote
I still can't believe people are voting for Preacher Ricky. What a phony. What a Rino. What a clown.
Newt has become to conservatives this election cycle's Alan Keyes.
It's all very simple:
If Romney wins, we lose.
If Romney wins, the Democrats will rejoice for they have the fool that they have been waiting to take apart before the public's eyes.
If Romney wins, the "good ole boys" in the establishment GOP have safe jobs once again.
If Romney wins, the common citizen is guaranteed the fact that they will no longer be represented by anyone in the GOP. Only the rich and famous will.
IF GINGRICH WINS the "little" people will have a chance at a brokered convention to actually choose the candidate to represent them for the first time in many, many election cycles.
IF GINGRICH ceases his election run.....WE ARE ALL DOOMED, for we may not ever get the chance to take our country back.
True patriots can't fire guns at the opposition but they sure as hell can fire donations to the Gingrich campaign.
It is time for Newt to show that he cares about America by dropping out and getting behind Santorum. Mit
t cannot be allowed to win.
The U.S. economy, along with international events, (both pushed to the brink by Obama's policies) will increasingly become a drag on Barack's re-election odds. We have an excellent opportunity to extend the 2010 conservative uprising to the 2012 election.
Thx for the graphic ...helps to put the focus back on the reality of the situation vs the media and Santorum camp induced "drumbeat" for Newt to drop out.
Rather than go thru the entire litany of what is wrong w/both Romney and Santorum w/regard to their positions on various issues or how the suggested "two man race" would fail from a tactical perspective; I will leave those "dead horses" to be flogged by whomever else chooses to do so.
I will just say that Newt is the only candidate running that I feel I can happily and intellectually support. The other two are merely default candidates for me; to be used "only in case of emergency" in order to achieve the "prime directive;" which is to defeat Obama at all costs; which I have already pledged to do.
Newt said he would stay in the race; no matter how he performed in Alabama/Mississippi and he is maintaining that pledge. I will continue to support him as long as he remains in the race. It is, quite simply, a matter of principle to me.
If Newt did drop out, calls would immediately "surface" for Rick to drop out.
Newt is our Winston Churchill. Obama is our Chamberlain (only worse). I sure wish I could vote FOR Newt in the presidential election rather than 'anybody but Obama'.
Santorum is a good man but he just doesn't compare to Newt, who is a statesman. Romney is a good man but he is just a dud. (not a dude, a dud LOL!)
Yes, that would be bad.
The only thing worse is nominating Santorum, who will not only be crushed by Obama but who will lose SO badly that it may cost the House.
Deciding the nominee at the convention, AFTER the events of the upcoming hot summer, is the only way out of this mess.
Conventional "wisdom" is spinning for Mitt. They are wrong about "inevitable" Mitt and should realize (we sure do) that by continuing to advance that lie, they are looking like paid, in-the-bag shills for the Establishment - the K Street to Wall Street crowd - who do NOT want power returned to the states or to shrink federal government because they are still profiting and sticking us with the bill.
As Newt rightly explains. Powers that be on the Hill will not voluntarily change. It is up to Americans to make it happen.
You're a Santorum supporter (not that that's a bad thing) ... so I'll ask you.
The economy is positioned to crash ... with or without Obama in the White House. What is Santorum's plan to deal with this? Specifically.
I really would like to know.
God is in control. What's Newts' specific plan?
Your usual personal smear and cheap shots against Rick are based on a Romney AstroTurf campaign and the Dem media machine .
Your tired cheap shots are pathetic .
If Newt stays in that will happen and then Obama will win.
But then delusional fantasies fueled by sour grapes are not uncommon...
...but the stakes have never been higher and rational minds must win out.
So can I assume from your answer that Rick's going to pray our way out of economic collapse?
Good to know. Thanks.
And Santorum is our McGovern.
Can't you read?
No, I don't want Romney to win. It is my considered opinion that nominating Rick Santorum is a guaranteed loss to Obama, PLUS the loss of many otherwise winnable House seats.
Why on Earth would I, believing as I do, support what I believe is a lemmings off the cliff movement?
Boolhockey. You don't know that. As for me, I agree with a true conservative, Sarah Palin, who wants all of the candidates to stay in up to the convention.
And Newt's strategy is?
Scary thought.
Have never quite figured out the strategy of this?
Tell me Santorum's. Really, I'm begging you. Tell me how Santorum will lead us back to prosperity.
...course, won't matter then will it?
The media has controlled the GOP primaries from the beginning - pushing 'front runner' Romney. After each candidate gained some traction the media pummelled them into obscurity. Reflect on Bachmann, Cain, Huntsman and Perry. Romney was supposed to be the last man standing, but Newt would not drift away - so the media pushed a 'surge' for Santorum.
The voters have been had!!!!
Become the obvious choice without enduring fifteen months of LSM destruction?
"All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him." - Sun Tzu, the Art of War
You either want Romney or Obama to be POTUS for the next 4 years. I was fine with either Newt or Rick, but now it is clear that Newt can't win.
Either Obama, Romney or Santorum will be elected. Which one do you want?
But it's beginning to sink in!
Have never quite figured out the strategy of this?
There are plenty of explanations here at FR and all over the internet.
One reason I like the thought that all of the candidates will be in the race is that I won't be disenfranchised as I was in 2000. The Republican presidential candidate essentially had already been chosen by the time I got to vote in my state's primary.
The voters haven't been had. The voters are voting for who they wanted to vote for.
The media tries to steer it for Romney, but the media also doesn't care for Rick or Newt.
If you have a problem, blame the people who decided to stay home rather than vote.
Romney is the weakest option who will be crushed in a general election .
The Dems need Obamacare to be a non issue in 2012 and Mittens guarantees that .
Mittens is pro abortion ,pro global warming ,pro cap and trade , and pro
Govt .
The base will stay home thanks to his fire bombing of the other primary options .
He ran the most destructive hate filled primary campaign in my lifetime .
This guy hates the GOP voters .
He is John McCain part ii without the military story
You're dreaming if you think this is reality.
Good luck on that. The most dangerous place in America is no longer between Chucky Schumer and a camera....it's between Newt Gingrich and his ego.
