Dope Folks Records releases new mix of rare old school Chicago hip hop
If you know Kid Millions, the man behind Dope Folks Records, then you know his music knowledge, especially in deep underground hip hop, is pretty vast. And lucky for us, he shares that knowledge through mixes he makes. This time, he focused on Chicago hip hop from 1988-1998, hence the title of the mix "88-98 Chicago Mix". While many of the titles below may not be very familiar or popular, it doesn't diminish how dope all these cuts are. »Read Full Blog Post
Next Act gives wings, radio style to 'It's a Wonderful Life'
Imagine a Milwaukee without its musicians and dancers, its singers and actors, its highly reputed symphony and its world-class theater. It would look a lot more like Pottersville, that mean-spirited burg of cheap thrills and third-class entertainment that greets George Bailey before his great awakening.
Such were my thoughts Friday night as six veteran Milwaukee-based actors tugged at my heartstrings for the second straight year, in Next Act Theatre's reprise of "It's a Wonderful Life," as transformed by Mary MacDonald Kerr into a 1957 radio play, coming straight to us from the studio of Milwaukee's very own WNAT. »Read Full Article(1)

A construction apprentice from Walthamstow had a brush with royalty when he helped show Prince Charles around a building site for the new Crossrail railway.
Bob Gridley, 34, is one of 130 apprentices working across the 40 construction sites that are building the 118 kilometre route through London.
Mr Gridley, of Higham Hill Road, was among a select group of workers who gave a tour of the works in Farringdon to the Prince of Wales and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall last week.
Mr Gridley is undertaking an 18 month Spray Concrete Lining apprenticeship with Crossrail contractor BAM Nuttall, and has been working 25 metres underground on new platforms and tunnels.
He said: "To find out about the apprenticeship training on Crossrail and then apply and get the job was really pleasing.
"It's great to be working on something I can feel passionate about and that actually means something.
"The Tube is 150 years old so the idea that I'm now building something like Crossrail that's still going to be around and in use in another 150 years is quite incredible."
Crossrail, which will cost an estimated £14.8billion to build, is due to open in 2018.

The last four months have been filled with political ads, debates, and a presidential election, and while we couldn't completely rid ourselves of this once-every-four-years event, we could approach it from a totally different angle. This issue of the journal takes an in-depth view of how the president and other leaders can set policy to improve government management, operations, and execution—on financial and budget reform, intergovernmental relationships, technology, transparency, and reorganization. If you were writing a memo to the president, what would you include?
As you all know, your jobs didn't stop during the election cycle, and won't stop during the transition. You're still dealing with challenges in workplace training, employee engagement and recognition, cultural competency, and change management. This issue examines the good and the bad of being a change agent, the debate behind revamping the federal pay system, how to recognize employees for their service, and how to create effective in-service training.
Change is hard. Making a change to a process, procedure, or technology affects everyone in the team or workplace. But to remain competitive in this business environment, where doing more with less is the norm, change is inevitable. Several articles in this journal explore how to manage change and create buy-in among employees and executives.
Paula Ketter
Editor, The Public Manager
It is with deep sadness that all of us at The Public Manager report the death on October 5 of our close friend and colleague, Paul T. Weiss. Paul was a long-time supporter, contributor, board member, and one-time editor-in-chief of The Public Manager. He passed away after losing his two-year battle with lung cancer, much to the surprise of many of us to whom he had barely let on that he was ill.
For those of us who came to know Paul during his many years in government or as he segued into a second career in public management consulting, we will remember him most for his overall humanity, his many contributions, and his unflagging commitment to making government work better. A senior colleague at LMI (where he consulted for the past 15 years) noted: "I don't know if there was a more considerate or thoughtful person on the planet."

Range Description
The dwarf or Dzungarian hamster is found throughout Mongolia, Russia, and adjacent parts of Siberia and Manchuria.
Biogeographic Regions: palearctic (Native ); oriental (Native )
Physical Description
Coloration of Dzungarian hamsters ranges from gray to pinkish buff dorsally and whitish on the underparts (Nowak, 1991). Some individuals have a dark dorsal stripe. The ears are dark blackish, edged and lined with white. During the winter months the fur turns partly white. As a result of having been bred and sold as domestic pets, these hamsters have given rise to a number of mutations in coat color. Three color mutations are commonly recognized: albino, argente, and opal; and two pattern mutations, mottled and platinum.
The Dzungarian hamster has a rounded robust body and short broad feet, covered with thick fur throughout. They also have dark eyes, long whiskers, sharp claws, and cheek pouches. Head and body length is 7-10.5cm while the tail length is 0.6-1.8cm. As in all rodents, one upper and one lower incisor are found on each side of the jaw. Canines and premolars are always absent, and there are no more than three lophodont cheek teeth on either side. (Macdonald 1984, Hill 1997)
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; bilateral symmetry
Average mass: 23.4 g.
Average basal metabolic rate: 0.313 W.
Habitat and Ecology
- Terrestrial
The Dzungarian hamster inhabits semi-arid areas. It usually prefers grassy plains, sand dunes, or wormwood steppes. (Nowak 1991)
Terrestrial Biomes: savanna or grassland
Trophic Strategy
The Dzungarian hamster is mainly herbivorous and granivorous. Normally it eats seeds and any available plant material. As the dwarf hamster forages, it pushes food into the huge cheek pouches, which enable it to carry large quantities of food to its underground quarters. (Macdonald 1984)
Life History and Behavior
Perception Channels: tactile ; chemical
Life Expectancy
Average lifespan
Status: captivity: 3.2 years.
Average lifespan
Status: captivity: 3.0 years.
Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
The Dzungarian hamster breeds from February to November. It is known to breed only once or occasionally twice a year in the wild, but it can breed more than that in captivity. In the wild, males and females meet only to copulate, then separate permanently. The gestation period is typically 20-22 days, but can be as short as 18-19 days. Litter size is usually between 5 and 12. The young are born blind and hairless, weighing approximately 1.4 grams. They are cared for by the mother alone, and they are weaned after a month or so. The young become sexually mature soon after weaning, or at a couple of months age, which helps to give this species an impressive capacity for reproduction. (Macdonald 1984, Nowak 1991, Parker 1990)
Key Reproductive Features: gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual
Average birth mass: 2 g.
Average gestation period: 20 days.
Average number of offspring: 5.5.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female)
Sex: female: 120 days.
Evolution and Systematics
Functional Adaptations
Functional adaptation
Macrophages in Siberian hamsters respond differently to pathogens depending on the photoperiod via an upregulation mechanism.
"Defense against pathogens is a critical component of comparative and ecological biology. However, pathogen recognition, a process necessary for the facilitation of systemic immune response, remains understudied in a comparative context, yet could provide insight into how the immune system interacts with pathogens in variable environments. We examined pathogen recognition by macrophages in relation to an ecological variable, day length, in Siberian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus). Because peritoneal macrophages collected in long, summer-like day lengths are more responsive to a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge compared to macrophages collected during short, winter-like day lengths, we hypothesized that these functional differences are mediated by variation in pathogen recognition, which occurs through binding to Toll-like receptors (TLRs). We predicted that expression of TLR2 and 4, the receptors that bind and respond specifically to LPS, would be upregulated in long vs. short days, and that expression of these receptors would reflect macrophage responsiveness to LPS. Macrophages collected during long days were again more responsive to LPS challenge compared to short-day macrophages; however, TLR2 and TLR4 expression was similar between photoperiods and were unrelated to our measure of macrophage responsiveness suggesting that other downstream intracellular mechanisms may be responsible for photoperiod-based variation in macrophage responsiveness in this species." (Navara et al. 2007:354)

Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
Dzungarian hamsters are considered serious pests to agriculture in some areas. (Macdonald 1984)
Dzungarian hamsters make good pets (Parker 1990).
Djungarian hamster
The Djungarian hamster (Phodopus sungorus), also known as the Siberian hamster, Siberian dwarf hamster or Russian winter white dwarf hamster, is one of three species of hamster in the genus Phodopus. It is ball-shaped and typically half the size of the Syrian hamster, and therefore called a dwarf hamster along with all Phodopus species. Features of the Djungarian hamster include a typically thick, dark grey dorsal stripe and furry feet. As winter approaches and the days shorten, the Djungarian hamster's dark fur is almost entirely replaced with white fur. In captivity, this does not always happen. In the wild, they originate from Dzungaria, the wheat fields of Kazakhstan, the meadows of Mongolia, Siberia, and the birch stands of Manchuria.
Djungarian hamsters are common as pets in Europe and North America, and exhibit greater variance in their coats than those found in the wild. They reproduce often—more so than Syrian hamsters—and, as they have no fixed breeding season, can continue to produce large amounts of offspring all year round. Young pups will act aggressively to one another; whilst breeding females may show similar aggression to males.
Physical description[edit]
The coat of the Djungarian hamster is less woolly than that of the Campbell's dwarf hamster,[2] and apart from the normal colouring, they can be coloured sapphire, sapphire pearl, or normal pearl. The head length of the Djungarian hamster is 70 to 90 millimetres in length, the length of the tail is five to 15 millimetres, and the hind legs are 11 to 15 millimetres.[3][4] The body weight changes dramatically throughout the year. It is at its lowest during the winter months.[5] In males, the body weight ranges from 19 grams (0.67 oz) to 45 grams (1.6 oz), and in females, 19 grams (0.67 oz) to 36 grams (1.3 oz).[4] In human care, they are slightly heavier. The average lifespan of the Djungarian hamster is one to three years of age in captivity, though they can live longer. In the wild, they are known to live as little as one year.[2]
In summer, the fur of the Djungarian hamster on the back changes from ash-grey to dark brown, or sometimes pale brown with a tint.[6] The face changes to grey or brown, while the mouth area, the whisker area and the ears are slightly brighter.[7] The outer ears and the eyes have black edges. The rest of the head is dark brown or black. From the head to the tail runs a black-brown dorsal stripe.[8] The throat, belly, tail and limbs are white.[7] The ears are grey with a pinkish tint[6] with scattered black hairs. The hairs on the underside are completely white.[9][10] The bright coat the bottom extends to the shoulders, flanks and hips in three arches upward. It is distinguished from the darker fur on the top of the existing black-brown hair, three curved line.[4]
Apart from the typical colouration, Djungarian hamsters can also be coloured pearl, sapphire, sapphire pearl and marbled. Other colorations are available, but these are strongly suspected to appear only in hybrid crossings with Campbell Dwarf hamsters. Some of these colorations are mandarin, blue, argente, yellow blue fawn, camel, brown, cream, merle and umbrous.[2]
In the winter, the fur is more dense.[11] They sometimes have a grey tint on their head.[12] More than ten percent of the hamsters kept in the first winter develop the summer coat. In the second winter, only a few change into the winter coat and winter colour is less pronounced. The moulting in the winter fur starts in October or November and is completed in December, while the summer coat begins in January or February and is completed in March or early April.[7] The ears are grey with a pinkish tint.[2] Moulting both run jobs on the head and the back of the spine to the sides, the legs and the underside.[13] The hairs grow longer in the summer, to about ten millimetres long.[6]
The pigmentation of hair is controlled by the hormone prolactin and colour genetics.[14] Day length must be less than fourteen hours to initiate the change to winter coat. The change to the winter coat can be triggered in the summer by the short day lengths. The change occurs back to the summer coat in the autumn, when the length of the days change again. At internal temperatures hamsters in captivity start later with the changes. The winter colour is less pronounced in them.[7] The eyes of the Djungarian hamster are black, unless it is albino in which case they are red.[6]
In the wild[edit]
In the wild, the Djungarian hamster's fur changes colour in the winter. This adaptation helps them to evade predators in the snow-covered steppes of winter.[2] The Djungarian hamster digs tunnels one metre deep leading to ground burrows where they can sleep, raise their young and hide from predators.[6] The weasel is one of the Djungarian hamsters main predators.[4] Most of these burrows have six entrances. In the summer time, the burrows are lined with moss. To keep the burrow warm in the winter, the Djungarian hamster closes all but one entrance and lines the burrows with animal fur or wool that it finds. The temperature inside the burrow is usually 16.7 °C (62.1 °F).[2] Djungarian hamsters sometimes live in the semi-deserts in Central Asia.[15] They also live in the dry steppes and wheat or alfalfa fields as well as on small fields in the forests of the region around Minusinsk.[16] The fur on the Djungarian hamster's feet protect the feet from the cold ground from in the cold climates in the wild.[2] The population density is highly varied.[15] In 1968, the first four examples of the Djungarian hamster were caught in Western Siberia and brought to the Max Planck Institute in Germany.[6]
The Djungarian hamster is a species of Phodopus. The Campbell's Dwarf Hamster is named as a separate species within the Phodopus sungorus species with respect to subspecies. Other subspecies are not distinguished. The Djungarian hamster was described by Peter Simon Pallas in 1773 as a mouse.[17] The species name sungorus derives from the Dsungaria.[18] In 1778, Pallas renamed the Djungarian hamster to mouse songarus.[19] Ned Hollister ordered the Djungarian hamster in 1912 to the genus Phodopus.[20] A. I. Argiropulo, in 1933, changed the name to priority sungorus[21] and united the Djungarian hamster as a subspecies of Phodopus sungorus sungorus with the Campbell's Dwarf Hamster.[22]
Pet ownership[edit]
Djungarian hamsters are often found on the pet market in Europe and North America.[2] Care of the Djungarian hamster is similar to all other species of Phodopus.[23] Djungarian hamsters, along with most rodents, are prone to tumours. They can also receive injury in the cheek pouch by sharp objects damaging the fragile inner lining. Other health problems include bite wounds, broken teeth, constipation, dehydration, dental malocclusion, diarrhea and ear problems.[24] The Djungarian hamster is easy to tame. In addition to natural colourings in the wild, ("ruddy" or "agouti") Djungarian hamsters in captivity come in a variety of different colours.
Djungarian hamsters reproduce at a faster rate than Syrian hamsters.[24][25] Phodopus are able to become pregnant again on the same day that they have given birth. This can all happen within a thirty-six day period. This is done as a survival strategy to produce large numbers of offspring in a short period of time. This places tremendous demands on the mother.[24] Research suggests biparental care in Campbell's hamsters (Phodopus campbelli) but not in Djungarian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus).[26] Frequent fighting can occur between the pups and as soon as they are weaned from their mother, they are separated from their mother. They should not be separated from their mother before three weeks of age. Most Djungarian hamster dwarf hamsters grow to 3 to 4" long. Djungarian hamsters breed all year round as there is no specific breeding season.[6]
During the breeding time, the Djungarian hamster may become aggressive. After mating, the female may want to attack the male to protect her babies. The male will usually hide in holes or caves to escape from the vicious bite of the female Djungarian hamster.[27] The Djungarian hamster's estrous cycle lasts four days, this means every four days, the female may accept the male back to breed again. This usually occurs when the darkness of the evening sets in. If a male and female Djungarian hamster are not housed together from a young age, it is difficult to tell if the female is willing to breed with the male.[2]
Of the five species kept commonly as pets, only the Campbell's dwarf hamster and Djungarian hamsters are able to interbreed and produce live offspring or hybrids. Although hybrids make suitable pets, the breeding of hybrids and cloning can cause health and reproduction problems. In addition, the widespread breeding and distribution of hybrids could threaten the existence of both pure species and subspecies of the ecosystem, resulting in only mongrels. Hybridizing causes each litter to become smaller and the young begin to form congenital problems.[2]

Wine Details
Wine Description
(From 2012 Vintage) The wine has a round, full-bodied entry on the palate, delivering an extravagance of fruit that leads into a lingering finish.
Winemaker's Notes
(From «nv» Vintage) It has a nose that is almost floral, with tones of lavender, dried berries, baking chocolate, bacon bits. Aromas are rich, velvety and wonderfully appealing. Silky round entry with acid to balance and high fruit concentration. The nose leaves no doubt about the seriousness of this wine. The palate is fruit driven both before and after the high tannin middle core. The finish is long, not drying of tannin, and beckons a second sip.

MINNEAPOLIS - B.J. Rosenberg was one of the first Phillies in the dugout at Target Field before Wednesday's game. As the Twins took batting practice, the rookie reliever saw Rich Dubee leaning against the railing and shuffled closer to his pitching coach for a chat.
The Phillies have already used 18 pitchers in 2012, and options are limited. They have called up whom they can, will not have reinforcements for some time, and cannot swing a trade for a meaningful addition.

Im a bit torn on this one! Anything thats fresh and new and provides us with an opportunity to get new pages in regulary, I applaud (Teoma)

That would be nice, but maybe more it's more likely that a re-direct to AJ will be put there.
I can't see them just writing off a steady stream of visitors to www.directhit.com.... it's just a question of what they do to that site.
Comet, MSN, Hotbot/lycos, at&t, a couple meta engines, 7search.
Yes hunter, traffic talks. Most of my sites averaging 4-5 hundred a day, with one doing 2400 per day from DH. It was the reason this subboard exits.
Before I even learned about SEO type stuff, before I knew HTML i just viewed the source to other peoples sites, someone had meta stuff i copied it over and changed their words about dogs to whatever the site i was designing. :)
Hope to see the DH site pull it off this year and keep kicking.

FICO Software Used in Power Scheduling Research
Researchers at the California-based Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are working to determine the lowest-cost scheduling of electric power grids. They will include FICO's Xpress Optimization Suite in their work. This is part of the Lab's work on large-scale renewable energy integration, which is a subject of interest throughout the national research system.
LLNL is researching ways to determine which power generators to operate and how much power to produce at each generator to meet demand for a region at the lowest cost
The program is being used to solve problems at many time-scales, from long-term planning to day-ahead operations planning. The work involves solving the "stochastic unit commitment problem," which attempts to capture the uncertainty in the system, including such weather components as temperature, wind speed, and cloud cover. This problem can be cast as a large-scale mixed integer linear program, to be solved on thousands of CPU cores in parallel.
The Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium is collaborating with laboratory on the energy problem. According to the university, FICO is used due to the integrated offering of a math programming language, Mosel, that can handle processor communication for parallel algorithms.
FICO's Xpress Optimization Suite software is a platform for building optimization solutions that drive business process improvements. The company said the optimization suite provides ways to create, deploy and utilize business optimization solutions based on scalable high-performance algorithms, a flexible modeling environment, and rapid application and reporting capabilities for on premise and cloud installations.
One comment on "FICO Software Used in Power Scheduling Research"
Dear Sir
I am writing to amend your information on the applications of the XPRESS software for the commitment and dispatch in power systems. The first time this software was used in Poland in the balancing market in year 2000. The software was designed by prof. W. Mielczarski on the order of National Power Control Centre. It performs the commitment and dispatch of 110 power units for 24 hours what leads to mix integer programming of 2500 binary variables and over 70 000 real variables. The computer program operates under Linear Programing Dispatch (LPD) name collaborating with GMOS which is the system for network constraints representation. The software is in operation for over 13 years and the rules applied became a part of the Network Code. The system is described in http://www.mielczarski.neostrada.pl/Papers/Modern%20Commitment.pdf
Currently, a research team from Lodz Technical University, prof. W. Mielczarski, dr B. Olek, dr M. Wierzbowski and W. Lyzwa (PhD student) his working with the eMix program based on XPRESS. It was constructed on the order of Ministry of Economy, Poland. The program eMix is dedicated for simulations of mix energy in a long term horizon taking into account energy and climate policies and various structures of electric energy and power generating capacity markets.

Stocks little changed after payroll survey
NEW YORK - Stocks wound up pretty much where they started after a report of modest hiring gains at U.S. businesses failed to excite investors.
Payroll processor ADP said U.S. businesses added 139,000 jobs last month, up slightly from January.
Movers for the day included Exxon Mobil, which fell 3 percent after saying it will cut capital spending this year. Brown-Forman rose 4 percent after reporting better sales of its flagship Jack Daniel's brand and other liquors.
The S&P 500 closed down a fraction of a point at 1,873 Wednesday. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 35 to 16,360. The Nasdaq composite edged up 6 to 4,357.
Va. shipbuilder gets $1.295B for Navy work
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Newport News Shipbuilding is continuing its work on the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy.
The division of Huntington Ingalls Industries announced this week that it has received a $1.295 billion extension to a Navy contract to continue preparations for the construction of the nuclear-powered ship.
This will be the second carrier named after Kennedy. The USS John F. Kennedy was decommissioned in 2007.
Safety group demands car recall data from GM
DETROIT - U.S. safety regulators are demanding that General Motors turn over reams of documents and other data showing what the company knew when about a dangerous ignition problem that has been linked to 13 crash deaths.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating how GM handled the problem, which triggered the recall of 1.6 million older-model compact cars worldwide. GM has acknowledged it knew of the ignition troubles a decade ago but didn't recall the cars until last month.
In a 27-page order sent to GM Tuesday, NHTSA demanded pictures, memos, electronic communications, engineering drawings and other data to answer questions about the case. The reply, which must be signed under oath by a company officer, is due April 3. A spokesman said GM is cooperating.
NHTSA wants the documents to determine if GM delayed its response or withheld evidence. In either case, NHTSA could fine GM up to $35 million. Automakers are required to inform NHTSA of safety defects within five days of discovering them. GM made $3.8 billion last year.
GM's new CEO Mary Barra has promised an "unvarnished" internal investigation to figure out what happened and prevent it from recurring.
Survey: Winter storms holding back economy
WASHINGTON - A Federal Reserve survey shows severe winter weather held back economic growth in much of the nation from January through early February. Even so, conditions improved in most U.S. regions, helped by slight gains in areas such as employment and commercial real estate.
Eight of the Fed's 12 regions reported improved activity, according to the Beige Book survey released Wednesday.
The Beige Book is based on anecdotal reports from businesses and will be considered when the Fed meets March 18-19.

Golovkin, Proksa: Both Boxers Expecting a Tough Fight
By Keith Idec
When asked to describe Grzegorz Proksa, the first name Gennady Golovkin mentioned was Sergio Martinez.
The undefeated middleweight title-holder from Kazakhstan didn't go nearly as far as to say Proksa is as good as Martinez, but he reiterated several times after a media gathering Wednesday morning at Madison Square Garden that he expects a difficult fight Saturday night in Verona, N.Y. (HBO; 9:45 p.m. EDT). Proksa's lone loss came by majority decision against light-punching Englishman Kerry Hope (17-4, 1 KO) on March 17 in Sheffield, but Poland's Proksa stopped Hope in the eighth round of their immediate rematch for the European Boxing Union middleweight championship July 7 in Sheffield.
"I think he has very good movement," Golovkin said to BoxingScene.com. "He has good technique, like Sergio Martinez. He's a good boxer. It's going to be a tough fight."
The 30-year-old Golovkin (23-0, 20 KOs) was supposed to encounter Russia's Dmitriy Pirog (20-0, 15 KOs) in a 160-pound championship unification fight, but Pirog suffered a herniated disk in his back and withdrew from the scheduled Aug. 25 fight in early July. HBO president Ken Hershman eventually approved Proksa as Pirog's replacement for the heavy-handed Golovkin's hyped debut on American television and bumped it back a week.
They'll fight for Golovkin's WBA middleweight title in the 12-round main event of a "Boxing After Dark" doubleheader from Turning Stone Resort Casino.
"Proksa is actually a very credible fighter," said Tom Loeffler, managing director of the Klitschko brothers' K2 Promotions, which represents Golovkin. "He's the European champion. He [technically] knocked out [former IBF middleweight champ] Sebastian Sylvester [after three rounds] over in Germany.
"He's a southpaw that keeps his hands down [like Martinez], but he has a big punch himself. So he's got a very tricky style. That's something that Gennady has to overcome. Gennady knows he has to have a good performance on Saturday in order to come back on HBO."
The 27-year-old Proska (28-1, 21 KOs) is more than a 3-1 underdog, yet undeterred as the Great Britain-based boxer's first fight on American soil in 6½ years fast approaches.
"It will be a tough fight," said Proksa, who suffered a nasty cut above his left eye during the second round of his first fight against Hope. "It will be a tough fight for sure. I'm ready for hard work. I know Gennady. Like I said in the beginning [of a conference call], I respect my opponent, but I believe in my work, what I've done up to today and to get ready for a fight. What more can I say? Everything will appear crystal clear [Saturday night]."
Keith Idec covers boxing for The Record and Herald News, of Woodland Park, N.J., and BoxingScene.com.
Te Middleweight division is so stocked right now it's crazy. You have a real champ in Martinez and a bunch of legit challengers like chavez,sterm,geale,golovkin,pirog,quillen,mundane, and Murry. The best part is there all fighting each other.Comment by ddangerous on 08-30-2012
Can't wait for this weekend. Finally, some boxing to look forward to after the drought in August.Comment by SnakeVen0m on 08-30-2012
I'm excited for this fight. I think Golovkin will take this one. Also expect Dziunziruk to stop or win a decision over Jonathan Gonzalez. I want to like Gonzalez cause he's a fellow countryman but his technique is so sloppy.…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (3)

Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of engineering company McDermott International (NYSE: MDR ) jumped 10% today after the CEO made a big bet on the company.
So what: When an insider buys shares of a company on the open market, it's a very bullish sign to investors, and purchases disclosed were a flashing "buy" signal for investors. CEO Stephen Johnson bought 102,368 shares and three other insiders bought a total of 175,000 shares -- huge personal bets on the company.
Now what: We don't know whether these insiders are thinking that shares are undervalued or they know something we don't, but a bet with their own money is big for investors. Even after the jump, shares are trading at 9 times forward earnings so there's still some value to be had. I think this is very bullish for the long term, and I believe shares can still move higher from here.

'Glee' star breaks silence after Monteith death
Lea Michele is breaking her silence online after her "Glee" co-star and real-life boyfriend Cory Monteith died of an overdose earlier this month.
The actress posted a photo of her and Monteith on Twitter on Monday, along with a message thanking her followers for "helping me through this time with your enormous love & support."
"Cory will forever be in my heart," Michele wrote.
Monteith was found dead July 13 in Vancouver, British Columbia. An autopsy revealed the 31-year-old actor died of an overdose of heroin and alcohol.
He and Michele played an on-again, off-again couple in the popular Fox series and were an off-screen couple for about a year.
Bynes' parents 'deeply concerned' for actress
Amanda Bynes' parents are deeply concerned that their daughter may hurt herself or others unless they are allowed to assume control over her medical care and finances, court filings show.
The petition Richard and Lynn Bynes filed Friday not only details her public incidents of disturbing behavior, including several arrests, but also reveals that the former child star has stated fears that she is being watched by smoke detectors and devices in the dashboard of her car.
Ventura County Superior Court Judge Glen M. Reiser delayed ruling on the conservatorship petition, stating that there was no rush to act because the actress is under a two-week psychiatric hold at a hospital.
Reiser scheduled a hearing on the issue Aug. 9 and said he also wants to meet one-on-one with Bynes before making a decision.
Bynes was put under the psychiatric hold Monday after authorities said she set a fire on the driveway of a home in the Los Angeles suburb of Thousand Oaks, where she grew up.
Cyrus says wild-child behavior part of growing up
Miley Cyrus' transformation from a sweet-faced child star into a twerking, wild-child sensation has garnered plenty of debate, but she says it's not really all that deep -- she just grew up, y'all.
In a recent interview, she said she thinks people forget what it's like to be 20 and evolve. She said she thinks some people think that she is some robot who changes with what's popular, but this is just who she is.
Cyrus has one of the summer's biggest hits with "We Can't Stop"; it's now No. 2 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. In the song's video, which has reached 100 million views on YouTube, Cyrus dances suggestively amid bizarre imagery, including a skull made of french fries. Cyrus said the video was inspired by her own life and the wild parties she's been at.
Evan Rachel Wood gives birth to baby boy
Evan Rachel Wood is a mom.
Her representative said Monday that she gave birth to a baby boy. The 25-year-old actress married British actor Jamie Bell last year.
The rep adds that "parents and baby are all doing well." No more details were provided.
Wood's credits include "The Wrestler," "Thirteen" and HBO's "True Blood." She earned Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for her supporting role in "Mildred Pierce."
Bell, 27, is best known for his roles in the films "Billy Elliot," "Jumper" and "The Adventures of Tintin."
Garth Brooks welcomes new family member
Garth Brooks is a granddaddy.
The country music superstar acknowledged in a statement July 26 the birth of his first grandchild, Karalynn, who was born to his daughter August earlier that week.
The 51-year-old "Friends in Low Places" singer says he'd like to thank everyone "for their warm wishes and sweet celebration of Baby K's arrival."
Country music's best-selling performer has been in semiretirement as he raises his daughters in Oklahoma. He'll have another girl around the house now. August was the second to graduate from high school and Brooks says he's considering a full-time return to recording and performing when his youngest, Allie, graduates from high school next year.

Bill to allow table games introduced
September 17, 2009
By Suzette Parmley INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
A state senator yesterday introduced a proposal to allow Pennsylvania's slot-machine parlors to add table games, as lawmakers begin to craft legislation that would also provide a hefty dose of new money for the state. "Given the current budget crisis that we face - the worst economic downturn in decades, and a shaky job climate - there is no better time for Pennsylvania to add table games to our casinos," Sen. Tommy Tomlinson (R., Bucks) told a committee in Harrisburg. "Table games in casinos could be a reliable, recurring revenue source to the state, and provide more jobs.
Pa. horsemen argue against table games at casinos
August 13, 2009
By Suzette Parmley INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
A Pennsylvania horsemen's group maintains that introduction of table games at the state's casinos would lower slots revenue, thus hurting the horse-racing industry. The decrease could be 8 percent to 13 percent, according to the Pennsylvania Equine Coalition, which presented its study to the House Gaming Oversight Committee in Harrisburg yesterday. "Current table-games legislation misguidedly sets different tax rates for slot machines and table games, creating the potential for lost state revenues and declines in funds for the equine industry," said Joe Santanna, president of the National Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association, a member of the equine coalition.
Casino table games generate millions for Pennsylvania
July 19, 2011
By Suzette Parmley, Inquirer Staff Writer
As it was about to mark the first anniversary of blackjack, poker, craps, and other table games, Pennsylvania closed out its fiscal year June 30 with $81.5 million generated by 10 state casinos, according to figures released Monday by the board that regulates the industry. The launch of table games began July 8, 2010, starting in the western part of the state and moving eastward. Parx in Bensalem, Harrah's in Chester, and Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem rolled them out July 18, 2010.
Table games roll at Philly-area casinos
July 19, 2010
By Suzette Parmley, Inquirer Staff Writer
Before boarding a business flight to Miami about noon Sunday, John McKenna of Northeast Philadelphia indulged in a few spins of the roulette wheel at Parx Casino. "It's more interactive. There's more of a human element," said McKenna, 36, referring to the newest attraction at Philadelphia's suburban casinos: dealer-staffed table games. As of early Sunday, Parx in Bensalem, Harrah's Chester Casino & Racetrack in Delaware County, and Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem had joined the table-games locomotive - anticipated by many, including McKenna, to further erode Atlantic City's already flagging fortunes.
Pa. House set to resume talks on adding table games
December 8, 2009
By Suzette Parmley INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
After almost two months, the state House is scheduled to begin deliberation today on legislation to add table games at slot parlors and pump $200 million into the state budget. A final vote could take place by late tomorrow, said Bob Caton, spokesman for House Speaker Keith McCall (D., Carbon). Three points of contention remain in the legislation: the amount of taxes that would be levied on table-game revenue; the creation of additional gaming licenses for resorts; and the number of slots and table games permitted at casino resorts.
Harrisburg Doubles Down Table-games Law Expands Gambling, And Empire
January 8, 2010
IN PASSING the table-games legislation that will allow poker, craps and roulette in the state's slots parlors, the Legislature has again confirmed that as far as it's concerned, we cities, counties, and communities of the commonwealth are mere colonies that toil to serve the Great Empire of Harrisburg. At least that's what it feels like in reviewing some of the key points of the legislation. _ It overrides the city's smoking ban. _ By granting a new 2012 deadline for the Foxwoods casino to open in the city, it overrides the state Gaming Control Board's own deadline of 2011.
Pols reach table-game deal, but will it float?

Leaders in the state General Assembly have struck a deal to legalize table games as Gov. Rendell threatened yesterday to lay off 995 employees unless that legislation is approved by Friday. The big question now: Can those legislative leaders convince their members in the state House and Senate to vote for the deal? Two sticking points in the legislative tussle between the House and Senate have been resolved, according to documents obtained yesterday by the Daily News . _ Local taxes - An estimated $3.6 million per year in "local share" taxes from table games at two planned casinos in Philadelphia would go to the city government instead of being distributed as grants by the state Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED)

December 17, 2009
By Mario F. Cattabiani INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The long-disputed table-games bill may have to wait until January. Legislation to allow poker, roulette, and other games at Pennsylvania casinos fell victim last night to one more round of disagreement between the Democratic-controlled state House and the Republican-controlled Senate. The Senate approved the bill, 27-22, after rewriting key sections in a move that House Democratic leaders immediately warned could shatter a fragile majority needed to send the measure to Gov. Rendell.

Keith Bewley stood in line at Delaware Park casino eagerly waiting to demonstrate that he had good vision, dexterity, and could count - essentials to being a table-games dealer. "I'm a victim of the recession," said the currently unemployed Bewley, 28, of West Grove in Chester County, who took his place at the table, rubbed his hands together, and began stacking a pile of chips by color, one of the tests.

SugarHouse Casino fined $48,000
April 29, 2016
By Harold Brubaker, STAFF WRITER
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board fined SugarHouse Casino $48,000 for allowing individuals on exclusion lists to gamble in the Fishtown property. Three individuals on the state's self-exclusion list for problem gamblers were allowed to gamble - one for nearly five hours at table games - before they were caught and removed. Those incidents resulted in a $33,000 fine. Separately, two individuals banned from casinos by state regulators for being professional offenders or cheats were allowed to play poker at SugarHouse for two and a half hours.
Luck or skill? Pa. lawmakers debate fantasy sports
November 12, 2015
By Chris Palmer, Inquirer Harrisburg Bureau
HARRISBURG - Are fantasy sports games of skill? Or are the outcomes largely influenced by chance, as in poker or blackjack? Those questions were the focus of a hearing Tuesday morning before Pennsylvania's House Gaming Oversight committee, as legislators debate whether to regulate the suddenly booming fantasy sports industry. "There's questions again . . . about skill vs. chance. Is it betting? Is it gambling?" said committee chairman John Payne (R., Dauphin). "I don't care what you call it, we want to protect consumers.
Parx Casino wants to add 220 slot machines
October 22, 2015
By Harold Brubaker, Inquirer Staff Writer
Greenwood Gaming & Entertainment Inc. plans to expand the gaming floor at Parx Casino, in Bensalem, by 15 percent, to 176,592 square feet, if it gets approval at the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board's meeting Wednesday in Harrisburg. The plan calls for adding 220 slot machines, a 6.7 percent increase, according to Greenwood's petition filed last month. The number of table games would increase to 182 from 168, or 8 percent. A Parx spokeswoman did not respond to a request for additional information, such as how much Greenwood will spend on the expansion and how long it will take.
DN Editorial: Pa. lawmakers horsing around with schools with this budget crisis
August 20, 2015
AS THE CLOCK ticks down to September with a state budget crisis showing no signs of resolution, we can imagine the panic taking hold in school districts around the state - and Philadelphia's is no exception. Of course, late-August panic is nothing new to the School District of Philadelphia. For years, the gap between unresolved budgets and opening day of school has created an atmosphere of unrelenting crisis that distracts from the priority of how to best educate our children. This year's crisis is a battle between Gov. Wolf and a Republican-dominated state Legislature, who remain far apart on big issues such as pension reform, education funding and shale tax. A few weeks ago, we urged patience for the budget process, since these battles represent a shift from the status quo. But time is now wasting.
Record high for Pa. table games revenues in March
April 18, 2015
By Harold Brubaker, Inquirer Staff Writer
Pennsylvania's 12 casinos in March brought in $69.8 million in revenue from table games, the industry's highest total since table games started in July 2010, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported. The total was 2.7 percent higher than last year. March table games revenue was down 4.7 percent at the four casinos in the Philadelphia area, to $29.4 million from $30.8 million, compared to a year ago. Harrah's Philadelphia, in Chester, and Valley Forge Casino, in Upper Merion Township, had double-digit percentage declines, while revenue rose at Parx and SugarHouse, data from the Gaming Board showed.
Table game revenue rises at four Southeast PA casinos
February 19, 2015
By Harold Brubaker, Inquirer Staff Writer
Revenues from table games at the four casinos in Southeastern Pennsylvania climbed 7.4 percent in January, to $27.9 million, compared to $26 million the year before, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported Tuesday. Parx, SugarHouse, Harrah's, and Valley Forge all posted gains in the month. All but Harrah's recorded highs for January, since table games, such as poker and craps, started in fiscal 2011. The overall gain for the state's 12 casinos was 12.5 percent, to $66.02 million from $58.71 million.

In rejecting SugarHouse Casino's "impassioned argument" that the Philadelphia area cannot bear another casino, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board relied partially on SugarHouse's own performance. The Gaming Board cited data showing that each of SugarHouse's 1,600 slot machines raked in an average of $299 per day in the year ended Sept. 30, or 25 percent more than the statewide average. Furthermore, in a 174-page document explaining its reasons for awarding Philadelphia's second casino license to Live!
Pa. table-game revenue up; half of casinos had decreases
September 18, 2014
By Harold Brubaker, Inquirer Staff Writer
Pennsylvania's 12 casinos won $66.4 million from poker, craps, and other table games players last month, 4.6 percent more than in the same period last year. But results were split on the basis of individual casinos. Half - led by Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem with a 20 percent increase - were up, and half were down. The same was true locally. Parx Casino and SugarHouse Casino recorded gains, while Harrah's Philadelphia and Valley Forge posted lower table games revenues. Aggregate table games revenue at the four Philadelphia-area casinos was up 1.7 percent, to $27.6 million from $27.3 million.
DN Editorial: Bad gamble
July 17, 2014
THE DECLINE in the fortunes of New Jersey's casinos - Trump Plaza earlier this week was just the latest to announce it is expected to close - should surprise no one. But those of us in Pennsylvania who might secretly take small satisfaction from New Jersey's woes - because they were driven in good measure by our own encroachment into the gaming market with the passage of a 2004 law - should limit the gloating. In fact, instead of gloating, we should ask: When does our decline begin?
A record loss for gamblers at Pa. casinos
April 18, 2014
By Harold Brubaker, Inquirer Staff Writer
Gamblers lost $67.93 million playing poker and other table games at Pennsylvania casinos last month, the highest total since table games began in July 2010, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported Wednesday. The total was $551,490 more than the figure for March 2013, the previous high. Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem, which has been up for sale for nearly a year, continued to hold the top spot in table games, with $15.3 million in revenue, slightly less than the figure a year ago. The biggest gain in dollars was registered by SugarHouse, which logged a $825,555 increase in table games revenue.
