In a move that blurs the line between consumer gadgets and enterprise technology, Apple and IBM announced on July 15th a partnership to transform enterprise mobility. The collaboration intends to develop new business applications that bring IBM's big data capabilities, security services, and device management to Apple's popular iPhones and iPads.
The four primary goals of the partnership include developing more than 100 industry-specific enterprise solutions for the iPhone and iPad, creating special IBM cloud features for iOS, providing enterprise-level AppleCare service, and offering device activation, supply, and management.
In an interview on CNBC , Apple CEO Tim Cook expressed his enthusiasm and high expectations for the partnership. "I think it's absolutely huge. It's landmarked. It takes the best of Apple and the best of IBM and puts those together. There's no overlap, there's no competition, but they're totally complementary. And more than anything, it focuses on the enterprise customer." IBM has expressed similar enthusiasm, committing over 100,000 employees to the Apple initiative, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The deal reflects the current tendency of previously separate devices and technologies to converge. Although few tech companies have had real success selling both consumer and enterprise technologies, modern employees increasingly carry their mobile devices to work and their work devices to their homes. It makes sense that Apple and IBM want to take advantage of the blurred line between work and home, as it will likely make many professionals more productive (and it appears a good business opportunity).
Although this partnership's impacts on security and businesses remain to be seen, it is hard to dispute that IBM and Apple make a formidable – if somewhat unexpected – team.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Hi ladies,
I had terrible oversupply with my son and my lactation consultant at the time mentioned that oversupply increases with each child. Is this true? If so, should I prepare to blockfeed my newborn from birth? It took months and months to control oversupply with my son: I used ridiculous amounts of sudafed to decrease supply, blockfed, etc. and my poor son was miserable.
Any suggestions for how to make supply more manageable this time?

We talked about gearing up for ice fishing last week, now let's discuss actually hitting the ice. Of course, because we are being extra careful and have our ice cleats on our feet, there won't be any "hitting the ice" at all.
You need to drill holes. I mean, plenty of holes. If you are using a hand auger, make sure it is sharp. Ask your tackle shop for a name of someone who hones auger blades. A gas auger is a lifesaver, but they are expensive. The new electric ice augers are powerful and the battery lasts quite awhile. You don't have to fool around with gasoline, but the electrics are expensive, too. The best suggestion I can make is to make friends with somebody who owns a power auger.
For beginners, head out to the ice and ask some of the guys already out there if you might be able to use a couple of their spare holes. More than likely they will offer to drill a couple of fresh ones for you. Ice fishermen are exceptionally friendly and accommodating. If someone does you a favor like that, don't forget to at least offer to top off his coffee cup with some fresh brew from your thermos. Sometimes, when the fishing is hot and heavy, you'll find plenty of spare holes from anglers who have already left the scene with their buckets filled with fish. You'll need a long-handled ice skimmer to remove the slush as it forms in your holes.
An underwater camera is a true luxury. They are a blast to watch and can be helpful in locating fish and setting the hook when bites are incredibly light, but you can catch plenty of fish without them. Depth finders are much more necessary. If you don't have one, be prepared to drill more holes because you will be guessing on how deep the water is.
Rods and reels run the gamut from simple $5 sticks with plastic reels to high-modulus graphite rods with multiple ball-bearing reels. The St. Croix Legend rod is the top of the line and is used by the most serious of ice fishermen. Start out on the inexpensive end to see whether you like the sport. To be honest, you cannot go ice fishing with only one rod. You need multiple rods because your stiff, frozen hands won't be able to tie on any new tiny hooks or jigs if you break one off. If you have more than one set-up, you just switch to a new rod. Spring bobbers that attach to your rod tip are handy things to have. Ice bites are very light, and you may need the additional help to detect them.
For baits, try bringing some of the tiniest ice fishing jigs that the tackle store has in stock. Tungsten jigs are denser than lead jigs and get down deeper than lead much more quickly. Try them if you are catching a lot of small fish. The little guys sit up higher in the water column than the bigger fish and they take the bait before it gets down far enough. You can use pieces of plastic to stick onto the ends of the jigs, but I am a firm believer in using spikes or waxies for sure-fire ice fishing success.
Fishing legend Spence Petros swears by Wedgies, plastic baits that are deadly for panfish through the ice or open water. Wedgies are made and sold by a Racine gentleman named "Plastic Joe" Moreau. They're available in 40 colors. Spence's favorites are motor oil and red, plain red, chartreuse and dark purple with gold. Moreau's phone number is 262-554-8830. They are very, very cheap. Tell Joe that Spence sent you.
Where should you fish? The beauty of ice fishing is that you can just look at where others are fishing and then get close to them, within reason, of course. Ice fishermen will let you get much closer to their spots than would open water fishermen. If you got as close to a boat as you can get close to other ice fishermen, fists would start flying. Ice anglers are good guys.
A good reason to only ice fish on waterways that you have fished on during open water season is that you'll at least have some kind of clue as to depths and structure of the waterway when it is ice covered.
Remember that fish move in shallow when the water starts to become frigid in the late fall. They stay there for a while, until they begin moving out. Just like during open water season, the fish relate to weed and objects for cover. They also use the remaining weeds because of the oxygen they give off.
Fish are spooky under the ice. They can see your shadow and hear and feel the vibrations of your movement. Be stealthy. Often, you'll need to wait a while after you move to a new spot to give the fish an opportunity to relax and become accustomed to you being in their area.
Now get out there and catch a dinner's worth of tasty perch, bluegills and crappies. There is nothing tastier than fresh fish taken from the coldest of waters.

In Therapeutic Touch, therapists place their hands on or near their patient's body with the intention to help or heal. In doing so, therapists believe that they are consciously directing or modulating an individual's energies by interacting with his or her energy field. The focus is on balancing the energies of the total person and stimulating the body's own natural healing ability rather than on the treatment of specific physical diseases.
Therapeutic Touch is based on the following assumptions:
Therapeutic Touch is a contemporary interpretation of several ancient laying-on-of-hands healing practices. Delores Krieger, PhD, RN, professor emeritus of Nursing at New York University, and Dora Kunz, a gifted energy healer, developed and standardized the technique in the 1970s. This standardization facilitates research and evaluation of treatment effects.
Therapeutic Touch, which is taught in many nursing schools, is categorized as a biofield energy therapy by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health [7] (NCCIH). Biofield therapies are techniques that intend to affect energy fields that surround and penetrate the human body. NCCIH notes that, although scientists are studying these phenomena, the existence of such fields has not yet been definitively proven.
Therapeutic Touch is not a substitute for medical treatment. It does complement conventional medical care and supports the person's body to be in the best condition to heal. Therapeutic Touch is beneficial with other therapies, such as acupressure, massage [3], imagery [5], biofeedback [8], and psychotherapy.
A typical session lasts approximately 15 to 30 minutes. You will sit in a comfortable chair and lie down fully clothed. The Therapeutic Touch practitioner will begin by discussing your goals for healing. He or she will then use light touch and/or sweeping hand motions above the skin surface to assess and balance the energy in and around the body.
Therapeutic Touch practitioners generally follow these steps.
Therapeutic Touch is a specific energy technique developed by Delores Krieger. Healing Touch is a collection of techniques developed and compiled by Janet Mentgen in the early 1980s. These techniques are taught through the Healing Touch program.
The goal of Therapeutic Touch is to assist the recipient in tapping into their own healing process and to restore wholeness and wellbeing at the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels of the person.
Therapeutic Touch does not attempt to cure disease, but rather to stimulate the body's natural healing process. According to Therapeutic Touch texts, the major effects of Therapeutic Touch are a deep relaxation response, reduction of pain and anxiety, and faster wound healing.
Practitioners believe that this therapy promotes health and wellbeing and eases the dying process. Patients who are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation have found it helpful in reducing side effects of treatment, such as nausea, vomiting, weakness, or fatigue. Others have seen reduced feelings of anxiety or grief.
Therapeutic Touch can benefit people of all ages and all states of health or illness, as well as plants and animals.
This therapy is generally very safe, but precautions need to be taken with pregnant women (since there is more than one energy field), and people with some forms of mental illness. Experienced practitioners will take these factors into account.
The popularity of Therapeutic Touch in the nursing profession has encouraged research in this area. There have been more studies on Therapeutic Touch than other biofield energy therapies (Reiki [11], Healing Touch). There is a large enough body of evidence to conduct formalized analysis.
Early Therapeutic Touch studies reported by Heidt indicate efficacy in muscle relaxation and stress and anxiety reduction. Later studies identify physiological effects (pulse amplitude, blood pressure, pulse, and temperature) as well as subjective measures, such as stress, time perception, and self-assessment of health.
The best way to choose a practitioner is to get a referral from a trusted source. Before you visit, ask the practitioner about his or her educational preparation and experience. Make sure the practitioner has completed three levels of training and a supervised mentorship. Explain your specific needs and ask if he/she has worked with similar cases and if he/she can confidently serve you.
You should feel comfortable working with the Therapeutic Touch practitioner.

- Abstract
- A sensitive and selective electrochemical method for the determination of norepinephrine (NE) was developed by using a calix[4]arene crown-4 ether (CACE) film modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The fabrication of the CACE film and its electrocatalytic effect for electrochemical oxidation of NE were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and voltammetric methods. It was found that the electrochemical behavior of NE on the CACE film modified electrode depended on the film thickness of CACE. Based on the electrochemical data, the CACE film surface coverage (theta), the charge transfer number (z) and the amount of the surface-bound NE (Gamma) were calculated. The effects of the experimental variables such as the solution pH and the applied potential were investigated for optimum analytical performance. Excellent linear relationships were obtained in two concentration ranges of NE: one was from 0.55 to 9.7 mu M and the other was 9.7 to 230 mu M. The detection limit (S/N = 3) of NE obtained by steady-state amperometry was 0.28 mu M. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for 10 successive measurements of 0.05 mu M NE was 2.2%. This method could be applied for the direct determination of NE in injection samples. In addition, effects of possible interferences (e.g. ascorbic acid, AA) were investigated. The present work provides an effective method for amperometric determination of NE by using a CACE modified electrode.

I need someone who knows about cameras to drop some knowledge, I was thinking of getting one these cameras
Leica D-lux 3
Nikon D3100
Nikon D5000
Fujifilm S-series (forget the model number)
I know Leica makes nice lenses, I did a lot of research on these already but im not the most camera or tech savvy guy so can someone who knows about cameras fill me in on which one of these has extremely good pic quality that shoots RAW so I can edit easier in PS and also shoots very good HD video without that AF shit I prefer MF even though I hear it's hard to do while shooting a vid, still AF brings the camera out of focus too much for me IMO.
Also if you guys know of any other good and cost effective cameras then please feel free to share them here on this thread with me. I just want an overall good quality camera that has very good focus features and some very nice and expressive colors with good quality of at least 10 MP

Stubbs strikes out swinging.
Votto lines a double to right center.
Phillips lines out to center. 0-0 after 1.
That is an ugly record the Reds have against Colorado. 8-25 since 2007.
Tulowitzki lines a double to left center.
Helton homers into the first row in right center. 2-0 Rockies.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Colvin strikes out swinging. 2 Ks for Cueto

China's environmental crisis comes into focus at this year's Doo Dah
By André Coleman , Kevin Uhrich 04/25/2013
Much as human rights abuses in China took center stage at the 2008 Rose Parade, runaway environmental pollution in that rapidly industrializing country will be highlighted during another Pasadena institution — Saturday's 36th Occasional Doo Dah Parade.
On Jan. 1, 2008 — the year China hosted the Summer Olympic Games — a China-themed float met with stiff resistance from human rights activists.
At this year's Doo Dah, a local tradition that started out as a send-up of the more formal Tournament of Roses event, members of the Visual Artists Group, founded to support freedom of expression following the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, are asking people to join their entry, The Great Firewall of China Marching Brigade, to help bring attention to the plight of environmental crusader Wu Lihong.
Lihong, who lived near polluted Tai Lake, became a thorn in the side of local party, government and business officials after nearly a decade of highly publicized protests over the ongoing industrial degradation of the lake, which today is a breeding ground of death for people, fish, fowl and other life inhabiting the area.
In 2007, Lihong was brought up on what supporters contend were trumped-up bribery and fraud charges and sentenced to three years in prison, where Lihong says he was beaten and tortured.
Visual Artists Group President Ann Lau was a key organizer in the protest against the Rose Parade's China float.
"When [Lihong] was just complaining about the pollution, they gave him an award, but when he started complaining about the government's part in it, they set a trap for him," Lau said. "In China the government can do whatever they want, and if they are targeting you, they will find every way to target you."
In 2009, Lau served as the Doo Dah's "Thorny Rose" for being what parade producer Tom Coston of the Light Bringer Project called a "royal pain," but only in a good way.
Marchers are asked to wear green tops and dark pants. For more information, contact Lau at (310) 433-0697 or email her at email@example.com. For more on the parade, see page 25.

RBS can't stem the bleeding
The pain never ends at Royal Bank of Scotland. The bank, still 81%-owned by the UK government, said late Monday it would take more than £3 billion of extra provisions for various legal issues and past misconduct claims.
That puts RBS on course for a huge loss in the last quarter of 2013. The bank had already said it would take an impairment charge of £4 billion to £4.5 billion as result of its plan to set up an internal "bad bank" to deal with problem assets left over from the financial crisis.
Sure, RBS may have made some operating profit in the fourth quarter. But this tsunami of provisions will overwhelm any positive news. The bank's shares fell Monday in response; eight of its top executives have been denied a bonus for 2013.
Those suspecting new chief executive Ross McEwan is trying to kitchen-sink bad news may find there is more to come. Of the newly announced provisions, £1.9 billion is for litigation relating to mortgage-backed securities sold before the financial crisis. RBS has made a new estimate of that cost following JP Morgan recent settlements, but the final tab is unclear.
The bank has also added £1 billion to its provisions for past misselling of payment-protection insurance and interest-rate swaps. But those provisions still only represent RBS's current best estimate of the final cost.
A major worry is how this will affect RBS's capital. The bank now expects its core Tier 1 equity ratio to be between 8.1% and 8.5% at the end of 2013, down from 9.1% at the end of September. RBS still hopes to raise that ratio to 11% by the end of 2015, and to 12% by the end of 2016. Its optimism is based on plans to float its US subsidiary Citizens and to accelerate disposal of its highly risky legacy assets.
But as long as RBS remains every lawyer's favorite UK bank, there can be no certainty around any of its forecasts. And any hope that the government's stake in RBS can soon be sold back to the private sector has surely been dashed once more. Trading at just 0.33 times book value, RBS is cheap relative to European peers.
There remains good reason for that.

don't take your kids to the liquor store

It's so nice to read this b/c just today I was making a grocery list for SP's birthday party which he is sharing with a friend. The list was filled with things like, "beer, chu-hi, wine." Then a few minutes later we put juice boxes on the list. 20 adults and 20 kids...we most definitely need some all-kee-hall.

Ok, your kids are SO, SO cute.

Rach, congrats on surviving the trip to the liquor store. ;oP

Chloe calls the neighborhood party place 'the cookie store' and is forever asking to go there. Indeed, they DO have cookies as well as vodka.

Ha ha ha! I have fond memories of going to the liquor store with my dad and getting lollipops. I don't have fond memories of the liquor itself, though.
Happy Birthday to Asher! 3 is awesome.

Oh my! This made me chuckle because I can SO relate. I brought the kids to a liquor store on New Year's Eve and I got dirty looks too and as I was paying Reece leaned over and whispered loudly to me "I can't believe I'm in a liquor store! It's my first time!" I left feeling like a lousy Mom in desperate need of that drink. ha!

Happy Birthday Asher!
I can't help but think that there wasn't a drop left because you only bought 3 bottles!

The kids look happy (especially Asher with his Handy Manny cake!!) and if the cocktails were all consumed I'd say the adults were happy as well.
Nobody got hurt, everyone had fun, I'd say that sounds like a fabulous turnout!

Students at Albion College have the opportunity to immerse themselves in neuroscience from several perspectives. Professors in three departments—Biology, Philosophy, and Psychology—share an interest in understanding the neural underpinnings of behavior and mental activity, and have developed a strong and growing neuroscience program at Albion. Beginning with the experience of a Freshman Seminar focusing on the mind, through numerous courses of direct relevance to neuroscience, and culminating in meaningful research addressing cutting-edge issues, Albion students gain the knowledge, insight, and skills necessary to success in graduate study or careers relating to neuroscience.
Although neuroscience as a discipline entails a common goal of understanding the nervous system, the emphases of scientists from various backgrounds often differ. Students who select the Neuroscience Option will be exposed to all three of these ways of approaching the topic:
- Biology: Biologists often focus on the physiological principles that govern the function of the nervous system, from the systems level (e.g., how do various parts of the brain interact) to the cellular (how do neurons communicate) or the molecular (how do genes determine the structure of membrane-embedded proteins).
- Philosophy: Philosophers usually come to neuroscience out of a desire to understand some aspect of the mind (as underlain by the brain). Philosophy's long-standing interest in epistemology, or how we know things, leads to a desire to understand cognition, thought, and knowledge as products of the brain.
- Psychology: Psychologists are concerned with behavior and mental activity, and examine how neural activity underlies interactions between organisms, behavior of the individual, and regulation of one's internal state. A psychologist's focus might range from the organismic down to the cellular.
Neuroscientists in all three of these disciplines often share common techniques and even common research questions, and it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between them. Neuroscience is truly inter- or cross-disciplinary, and an education in neuroscience, far from being narrow, can be a broadening and enriching experience.

I see your coming down to Arlington this year I'm assuming. When are you coming? I'mma try and be in Arlington in June when we play Houston.
You might like that series since RRS now plays for the Astros. If not I'm assuming you'll be down here for a Mariners series?
Not sure. I want to see the Mariners in Texas, but they are not there on a weekend until September, which is not good for us. So, it will very possibly be over Memorial Day weekend. But its all tentative at this point.

Yoshiharu AmekuYoshiharu Ameku
Administrator of the Pre-Clinical Lab
College of Dentistry
Yosh – who is a dentist – was exposed to dentistry at an early age, because his grandfather practiced dentistry on an island near Yosh's birthplace, Okinawa. Raised in Kansas, Yosh came to UNMC to study dentistry in 1986 and has been with the University ever since.
Through his work with second-year dental students in the clinic, Yosh attempts to develop in them a sense of empathy for patients. "These are not just procedures," he tells them. "There is an emotional component and a spiritual component to the relationship between dentist and patient." His advice is to treat each patient as if they were your mother or sister.
Yosh spends his free time playing golf or tennis and enjoying the outdoors with his family. Wherever he goes, he is an excellent ambassador for the University.

In this course you will continue your key foundation research first introduced in the Introduction to Polish Research Course. Prerequisites for this course are to have looked at census records, ship manifests, WWI Draft Registrations, and you know the location and village of your ancestors birth, and the parish and civil registration records in Poland.
From Crime to Punishment: Criminal Records of Our Ancestors from the 18th and 19th Centuries
The second half of the 18th and the first half of the 19th centuries were characterised by rapid increase in population, urbanisation and impressive industrial growth. It was also a period of rising crime rates and grave concerns about criminality. This podcast takes researchers through the various stages of the criminal justice system of the period and focuses on the various records created, from the commission of a crime, through the court processes and on to the records of punishment. Jeff James is Director of Operations and Services at The National Archives, and has previously worked as Head of Operations at The British Library, in the University sector and as a Submariner in the Royal Navy. Jeff has an MA in History from the University of Hertfordshire and has a particular interest in 18th and 19th century crime and poverty.
Heralds and Heraldry at The National Archives
The National Archives holds possibly the greatest collection of untapped source material for heralds and heraldry in this country. This lecture examines evidence stretching back over eight and a half centuries: seals, illuminated manuscripts, medieval rolls, treaties, grants of arms, state occasions, architectural drawings, military badges and even wooden chests. The result is an astonishing and colourful display of what is often unknown heraldic material. Adrian Ailes is a Principal Records Specialist at The National Archives and in 1997 organised an exhibition on Heraldry in the Public Records. He is a Fellow of the Heraldry Society and an academician of the Academie internationale d'héraldique.

Rubik's Cube Genealogy: A New Twist on Your Old Data
The three dimensions in genealogy are Name, Time, and Place. You should be able to pinpoint records for a particular person knowing these three "coordinates." As you twist the dimensions in different ways, new or previously unseen patterns emerge in your family history.
Shop Workers: Tracing Your Retail Ancestors
We all go shopping, albeit with varying degrees of enthusiasm, and many of us have also worked in shops. It was the same for our ancestors, and although the records may not always be easy to find, they are out there if you know where to look. There is also a wealth of background material to show us what our ancestors' shopping and shopkeeping experience was like.

going to be amazing....hope they change it with the amount of knock downs to get a win.
In the other Fight Nights, I'd knock a guy down 10 times in a fight and he'd still be up...it was un realistic and frustrating.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]EA returns to the ring with this fourth entry in the boxing franchise. Featuring a re-written gameplay engine, Fight Night Round 4 adds a variety of fighting styles and boxer differentiation to authentically emulate the greatest fighters of all time. Pressure your opponent with the brawling inside style of young Mike Tyson, bobbing and weaving to set up powerful hooks and uppercuts. Capitalize on Muhammad Ali's reach, hand speed and fleetness of foot to bewilder your opponent with lightning fast jabs and straights from the outside. For the first time in history, Fight Night Round 4 gives you the opportunity to pit these legendary heavyweights against one another and name a true champ. No fight will be the same with an all-new physics-based animation system that recreates the full spectrum of true-to-life punch impacts, giving boxers a devastating arsenal of punches, blocks and ring movement. The new physics system allows for missed punches, glancing punches, knockout blows and for the first time ever, rough and tumble inside fighting. Fatigue, adrenaline, footwork and timing all come into play as you hammer away at your opponents.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]As ever with video game magazines, someone reads them and puts it all on the internet, and all the Fight Night Round 4 details from this months Game Informer are no exception.
The fighters confirmed so far are Tyson, Ali, Lennox Lewis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Winky Wright, Sergio Mora and Emanuel Augustus.
Also, the strength of your punch is now longer determined by how far back you pull the analogue stick, but how cleanly you make contact with your opponents face.
Im a big fight fan, so I am aware that part of that big fight experience, is the lead up to the fight, the stoppages and the scenes after a big fight has been won, said a developer to the magazine.
In FN4 the cutscenes will accurately and authentically reflect that experience seen on TV; we have them all and they are looking tight! And when I say authentic - Ali wont be doing the running man during his ring walk entrance!
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] that new media was on its way and the company will hopefully announce the release date soon.
Full details after the break.
Thanks, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

- The game features at least a dozen venues from around the world. They are more built than previous titles. This includes more activity around the apron during a fight.
- Fighters confirmed so far Tyson, Ali, Lennox Lewis, sugar Ray, Winky Wright, Sergio Mora and Emanuel Augustus
- The strength of a punch is no longer how far back you pull the analogue stick, but how cleanly you make contact.
- If youre in close to your opponent and dont get full arm extension, the power behind your punches are weakened.
- Boxers now have more hit zones in their faces, and different punches will have different effects depending on where they land.
- Blocking now has a meter, this meter decays over time, your overall risk increases as the meter decreases. Punches can break through your guard and your arms can be knocked out the way much easier as your opponent works your defence.
- Fight Nights new physics system is better suited to providing more realistic outcomes during the moment to moment flow of two boxers constantly trading punches
- Taking cuts to the face is not about your health meter, the strength of the punch and how directly it lands on your face are more important
- When Tyson is throwing a punch at your head, dont try and slap it out of air (referring to R3s parrying system)
- 40 licensed boxers, introduces more height and body (like Tyson being small for good inside, and taller Ali being better on outside). Thus, long armed fighters perform better if they stick and move, while shorter boxers like Tyson want to pummel you from close range, negating the advantage of the opponents longer arms.
- The parry system of old has been done away with. You wont want to be attempting to parry one of Tysons hooks. Taller boxers with longer arms will be expected to jab and move, while shorter guys like a Tyson will try to work inside.
- Another note would be the removal of manoeuvring the thumb-stick in between rounds to work on cuts etc. Cut work and the like will be worked on by a points system being applied to your boxer. Youll choose from the bank of points you have accumulated and apply them where you see fit.
- The FNR4 audio will enhance the gameplay experience by reflecting the emotion and excitement that is heard in a real life boxing match. Like much of the rest of the game, were building the audio from the ground up and have a load of new audio features for Fn4. This time around, FN4 will feature a 2-man commentary team (talent to be announced)that will bring a whole new level of intelligence and analysis to the game.
- The crowd will accurately reflect the size of the venue and respond to the action going on in the ring. There are several cool new features with music, and we are also filling out the soundtrack with a wider variety of music that will get the player in the boxing headspace from the get go
Mike Tyson will finally be in the game. Looks really sick so far. It'll be released this Summer.

What am I going to say that hasn't already been said countless times by countless people more qualified than me in countless ways? Muhammad Ali is a legend. He was on the cover of a DC comic boxing Superman. Superman! And given what Ali was able to accomplish in the ring, I might put money on him being able to psyche out Kal-El at the press conference, getting him to fight his fight and shaking up the world once again. Ali brought boxing to another level with his speed and grace. The heavyweight division didn't know how to handle a guy like him. Heavyweights didn't move that way. Heavyweights didn't punch that fast. Heavyweights didn't talk that much. Ali broke the mold and his list of accomplishments puts him up there for serious consideration as the greatest boxer of all time.
Eddie Chambers
At 33-1 with 18KO, "Fast" Eddie Chambers is one of today's top American heavyweight contenders. Just over six feet tall and weighing about 220lbs, he's no giant, especially these days. That being the case, he's known for using fast hands and feet to compete against bigger, stronger opponents. A win in his upcoming March bout against the heavy-hitting Sam Peter could do a lot for the little known Philly-based Chambers who has the skills to befuddle a less technical and less agile opponent.
George Foreman
Big George has evolved into one of the most likable and affable personalities in sports today, but in his prime, he was one of the most frightening specimens in heavyweight history. Fairly big for his time with a menacingly calm demeanor and brutal knockout power in both hands. He destroyed Joe Frazier and Ken Norton, two guys who gave Muhammad Ali fits. Which led to many people heavily favoring Foreman in the now legendary "Rumble In The Jungle," and anticipating a similar end for Ali. The result is history and George may have come up short, but it is only legendary fighters that make for such legendary fights
Joe Frazier
Full disclosure, "Smokin'" Joe Frazier is my favorite heavyweight of all time. He epitomizes heart, toughness and determination. When you combine that with great head movement, a pathological body attack and a crushing left hook, you end up with one of the baddest men to ever wear the heavyweight strap. This man took a unanimous decision from Ali in the "Fight of the Century," putting him on the canvas with his patented hook in the 15th round. The two met twice more, and their third fight, "The Thrilla in Manila" is one of the most awesome spectacles in boxing history (in my humble opinion). People say Muhammad Ali is the greatest of all time and we are all free to debate that until we are blue in the face. But there is no Muhammad Ali without Joe Frazier, or vice versa, and there is no debating that.
Lennox Lewis
Here is a guy that was under-appreciated in his heyday because of how well he fought to his strengths. Keeping shorter, smaller opponents outside and not letting them work if they got close. He's an Olympic Gold Medallist, an undisputed Heavyweight Champion and one of the most skillful big men ever seen in the sport. His combination of power, speed, size and technical ability would make problems for just about anybody. Lewis defeated every man he ever faced, avenging his only two defeats with stoppage victories. Lewis had an explosive right hand that spelled doom for many opponents, as it did for Hasim Rahman when Lewis regained the Heavyweight title 2001.
James Toney
James "Lights Out" Toney is the epitome of an old-school fighter. Having 82 fights in the modern era is almost unheard of. He's the kind of guy that has forgotten more about boxing than many fighters will ever learn during his years fighting from Middleweight to Heavyweight. Toney is living proof that skills can conquer just about any opponent. One of the most gifted counter-punchers and one of the most relaxed fighters inside the ropes; attributes which have allowed him to compete at the highest level without having the highest level of conditioning. Sorry James!
Mike Tyson
"Iron" Mike Tyson, aka "Kid Dynamite" took the Heavyweight division by storm in the 80's using his uncanny combination of speed and power. The young Mike Tyson was an incredible boxer who displayed amazing head movement, footwork and combination punching. Watching old training videos of him on youtube is amazing. I shudder to think what it was like for opponents to see this man in his prime. The youngest heavyweight champion in history, as well as one of the most recognizable sports figures and most dangerous video game bosses of all time. Mike is also a true boxing historian and a tremendous fight fan.

Addendum to my 1st letter to Mr. **: I have researched the promotional balance of $34.75 all over Amazon. I have discovered that there is no record of this amount and this would account for the lack of Amazon being able to apply this, my balance due to me to any product I purchase, regardless of whatever manner you stated, state or will state in the future.
I did discover I do have a promotional balance. I am owed $26.00 in the Amazon MP3 Category, $25.00 in the Amazon Video Category, $25.00 in the Kindle Editions Category. Total = $76.00. All this when I was never able to view any prime videos in 2015, never bought any music nor bought any Kindle books. I gather this must be a ploy as to entice me to spend additional monies, then and only then will I ever see the $76.00 (refer below in black and white), only if I spend money to buy other prime video/music/Kindle products. Kind of a coercion process, I suspect.
Again, the $35.75 owed appears nowhere so how can it be applied since no one knows of its existence besides you and I. And remember I have your email that validates this amount. I did not pull it out of hat. I am forwarding this all for your review and assessment. My impression is that there is something terribly wrong here and should be addressed. Since you are the assistant of Mr. **, you probably are the person to do so. Unless you prefer I forward all the above in the form of a presidential complaint and notify others which I rather not do. In lieu I am sure this is a computer glitch and an obvious oversight by your organization.
I have now spent an enormous amount of time reading all your correspondence about policy of Amazon, the products that change and that it would automatically be applied at the appropriate time. Well sir, since no one knows of this besides you and I, I can't see it ever being applied to anything and the fact that $76.00 is owed me in the prime area, you may want to reconsider your 1 month extension of prime services. Not that I really need it since if I buy something it shall always be over $35.00 and the shipping shall always be free.
I suggest you review your position on this matter and come up with something equitable otherwise I shall contact the FCC and other government agencies and consult an attorney about this matter and the manner your firm does business. Govern yourself accordingly.
I ordered a Dell notebook computer which had confusing and poorly described warranty information provided. Questions to Ezy the online seller suspiciously avoided being answered and instead referred me to Dell's support page. Dell refused information until I had purchased the product and had a serial number etc. In good faith I went ahead and bought the thing.
After delivery Dell tells me I only had 9 months left on the warranty (1 year from the date Ezy bought it from Dell) and an extended warranty cost more than the computer itself. By the time all this happened my 10 days return allowance had expired. The seller refused to accept the return and Amazon refused everything.
In short I believe the seller intentionally misrepresented the product and avoided answering the question in order to make the sale. Amazon does not vet their suppliers properly nor accept later input from their customers (instead they put you thru an elaborate review submission process and then tell you some technicality eliminates acceptance of the input). I will be very cautious of purchases thru Amazon in the future and advise every one of the same.
IPSWICH -- I have been trying to get a refund for faulty goods since May 5th. The overseas call center who have no interest in dealing with your complaint mainly because they cannot understand you in the first place and just keep stating the blindly obvious are simply hopeless. I will be cancelling my account after years of doing business. I have had enough!!! These clowns are failing to comply with the law in this country and appear to be hosting sellers that are nothing short of con artists!!
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON -- I placed two separate orders for two different items in December of 2014 that were expected to be delivered in December of 2014. The items were never delivered, despite the tracking information for both of the packages showing that they were delivered - I never received the items. I tried multiple times (I ended up contacting Amazon customer service 6 times regarding this issue) to resolve this issue with customer service.
Each time, I was told that I would be contacted by somebody within (blank) business days (usually 1-3 business days). However, I was NEVER contacted by the team that I was supposed to be contacted by, nor was I followed-up with by the customer service rep, even though they said they would follow-up by a certain date.
When I contacted the company for the final time, again they tried to make me wait (blank) business days, which I wasn't going to settle for, because I knew I would not receive a response; instead, I chose to turn to my credit card company for help, since I knew I would not get any progress made with the Amazon customer service team. I filed transaction disputes with my credit card company for each of the two charges on my account, stating that the items were never delivered.
Several weeks went by and I thought everything was settled, but I then was contacted by my credit card company saying Amazon had rebutted the dispute, with their response being that the tracking information showed the packages were delivered - this was already known. I fully understood what the tracking information showed, but I still never received the items. Now, my dispute with my credit card company, which I was forced to go through because Amazon made no efforts to help their customer, is at a stand-still due to Amazon's lack of clarity, lack of support, and lack of care for their customers.
Additionally, after many years of being a loyal, paying customer to Amazon.com's Prime membership, I received an email early this morning saying that the company has closed my account on the basis of me requesting too many refunds. However, this is nowhere near the truth. The only source of refund requests comes from a fault in the company itself. Amazon.com did not take appropriate measures to ensure that I would receive the items that I paid for, such as is the case above. Obviously, since I paid for the items, I expect either the item I paid for or my money back so I can order the item from a merchant who WILL ensure that the item gets delivered to me.
When I contacted Amazon.com's customer service department, they offered to provide me a refund for the items that the company did not ensure successful delivery of, and I accepted the offer. For the company to now say that I am at fault for accepting these offers is completely ridiculous, and it truly shows how little they care about their customers, even the loyal Prime-paying customers who have dumped thousands upon thousands upon thousands of dollars into their company.
SEATTLE, ARIZONA -- I have resorted to online complaints because Amazon refused to post my warning to customers. Amazon's Miss Beauty storefront is selling a counterfeit of the US Patented Fullips product and is blatantly displaying the trademarked Fullips logo changing Fullips to Miss Beauty. When Amazon didn't post my first warning, I posted a second more strongly worded comment. Not surprisingly, Amazon did not post that, either.
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON -- How Amazon Uses Merchants as GUINEA PIGS to see what sells: I was an Amazon Merchant for 1 year, sold thousands of items and received 99% positive feedback. My items are all legitimate and authentic and personally purchased from stores and official studio distributors. I sell mostly books, CDs and DVDs.
I sold this DVD title on Amazon in June 2009. It's a rare title and to my surprise received a lot of sales. On my 2nd week of selling, I moved about 100 pcs of this title and then I got a notice from Amazon stating I was under review but I could still sell and ship--although no money will be disbursed. That was fine as I know there is no problem with my items- I sold and shipped all orders with tracking.
When my account got released, they blocked that specific DVD title from my stocklist and there was a yellow circle with the slash in the middle at the side of the title meaning I cannot sell that item. I had the inkling something is not right and lo and behold, I searched the site and saw that AMAZON IS NOW SELLING THE SAME DVD which they did not even carry before. The item is NEWLY LISTED in the Amazon Catalog 2 days before my suspension. Apparently its a new product they are carrying.
So basically, smart @ss Amazon "STOLE" the item I discovered to be a great one and is now blocking me from selling it so as not to compete with them! HOW UNPROFESSIONAL and MONOPOLIZING! I would not mind if they let me sell it but NO, they are the only ones who can because its such a GREAT selling item!
Needless to say, they suspended my account 1 month after stating that my item was suspicious and COULD BE recopied media. I emailed them my receipts from the distributor with the proper business info but no, they insist that the DVD I AM SELLING COULD BE FAKE. Oh really??? Could Be Fake??? What the heck does that mean? It's either fake or real, nothing in between! SO why the heck did Amazon get the exact same item from the same distributor I do business with to sell on their site under THEIR ACCOUNT??? They discovered it to be a fast seller because of me and has now double-crossed me and kicked me to the curb to monopolize the sales.
I researched and discovered they have been DOING this with ALL SELLERS. They let you sell, and when they see an item selling like hotcakes, they get the item and sell it for themselves and kick the original seller to the curb accusing them of selling recopied media -- it's a MODUS OPERANDI with Amazon and they will keep doing this because they get away with it. This is illegal because they are trying to monopolize sales when they are supposed to provide a VENUE for sellers and not USE sellers to research what sells FOR AMAZON's BENEFIT.
I hope that Amazon will someday get slapped with a CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT. What they are doing, using sellers as guinea pigs to research what item is good to sell then kick them when they have the item for themselves is VERY, VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, UNETHICAL and WRONG!
If you carry an item that is 100% Authentic and Sells like hotcakes, PREPARE TO EXPERIENCE THIS. Amazon is like a mafia syndicate which aims to monopolize the market and they will use you to give them ideas what to order from distributors. Once they have your item--prepare to get kicked in 1 month's time. IT HAPPENED TO ME and TO MANY OTHER SELLERS.
Amazon must be stopped and sanctioned just as Microsoft was sanctioned for billions regarding trying to monopolize software market. Don't Give your sources to Amazon, don't give them any info on your supplier. You will get suspended either way, once they acquire the item for themselves because they don't like competition on a hot-selling item.
If you are one of Amazon's victims, try to contact a lawyer and a media company in your area and get this information out. This tactics must be stopped as it is UNETHICAL BUSINESS and ILLEGAL because they terminate your account over FALSE accusations and an INVENTED reason given you can prove authenticity of your products which I can.
One day, Amazon will have to answer for all the injustice they did to honest sellers they kicked after unknowingly using us as guinea pigs and I hope they will PAY BIG TIME! Attention to lawyers out there who wants to take on this case, there are THOUSANDS of former Amazon Merchants who have this exact same story to tell and this class action case is going to win if brought to courts. Contact me anytime if you need a plaintiff.
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON -- I am a new seller on Amazon and I am using a dropship supplier to ship my orders, basically my supplier. I listed the inventory I intended to sell, over 500 items. Because I was new, I wasn't clear on how to do my pricing so I listed my items for what the MSRP is.
I soon began receiving email messages from Amazon, claiming that my prices are too high and due to this, they stated that they are deactivating my listings; they began doing this on certain items, not my entire inventory. They stated that my pricing should fall within the wholesale and MSRP prices.
There were a multitude of items that were deactivated and instead of checking each SKU to determine if an item was deactivated I simply removed all inventory. I then proceeded to go to my supplier's website to download a fresh inventory feed. I adjusted my pricing to exactly what Amazon wanted and I uploaded everything fresh, to my webstore because it was easier and less time-consuming to do it this way.
I began receiving those same email messages and Amazon started deactivating my inventory again. I got upset and emailed them. I stated that I adjusted my prices but they continue to deactivate items. When I complained about it they claimed that it was just a "suggestion" to lower my prices so I can make more sales. I emailed back and said that if it were just a suggestion then why do you continue to deactivate my items? And besides that, I looked on the marketplace and compared my prices with other seller's prices and theirs are higher priced.
I initially had a webstore through Amazon but got frustrated and discouraged and cancelled the webstore. A week later I decided to open a new seller account using a new email address that isn't associated with my first webstore. Now what's going on is that I have tons of orders from customers and Amazon is sending me order notifications to the email address that was associated with my first webstore, not the email address associated with my current webstore.
Even worse, none of my orders are posted under "manage orders" in my webstore. I wouldn't know that there were any orders at all if I didn't check my email account that was associated with my first webstore. Now I have customers emailing me asking where their orders are, and complaining about it.
I looked at all of these orders which made me enough money to buy a used car but yet Amazon has not posted them to my account. I have no way to contact those customers unless they email me first; their orders show no email contact addresses. I don't even know what to tell them.....
I have been in contact with Amazon for a week now, I got a folding Dahon bike that have a defect on the pedals and the seller did not [want to] help, Amazon posted a claim, and now they cancel the claim because the address of the shipping was hostel. I am from Brazil. How I would know someone in US where I could be sent to? Of course I have moved and now I have a 450 bike at home and need to walk for 6 miles a day to work, since I have no money for the metro. Amazon bad service.

Pride, legacy, and history are on display right now at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, along with a pretty cool piece of hardware.
It's a new display that's even awe inspiring for the people it's honoring.
It was a powerful moment for Yoshinobu Oshiro. It's his first look at an actual Congressional Gold Medal. A civilian's highest honor, right up there with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
And Oshiro knows honors, he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2011.
"It's a treasured moment for once in a lifetime," said Oshiro.
The award was presented to Nisei of the 100th Infantry Battalion, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, and the Military Intelligence Service for their dedication in World War II. Members of that battalion carry copies of the medal.
"When I saw that I thought OK, that's the real thing, rather than this is the replica," said Oshiro.
The recognition remains humbling to this day.
"It's a rare honor, there's only been 149 recipients in its entire history. The first recipient was George Washington in 1776, so to have this honor is truly unique," said Blair Collis, president of the Bishop Museum.
"The ones that we honor are really the ones that didn't return, the soldiers that didn't return," said Oshiro.
The medal's permanent home is the Smithsonian, but it's stopping in Hawaii for the time being, a natural fit, said Collis.
"I think there was a lot of will to have it here, Senator (Daniel) Inouye was a veteran of the 442nd and a Medal of Honor winner so that helps, but its certainly a national story and a Hawaii story," said Collis.
It's been a life story for Oshiro, a defining moment that came so early in life.
"That time we were still youngsters, I was still in high school," said Oshiro.

Nexus Mod Manager in extended closed beta with mod authorsposted by Dark0ne Game NewsAs per my recent news on the Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) we are finally ready to go in to an extended closed beta with the mod authors on the Nexus sites.
If you're a mod author with access to our private mod author forums (that's about 7,000 of you) then you'll find a new forum has been setup for discussion about NMM along with the download location to get the client. While NMM currently only supports Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas you'll be able to access the beta whether you've modded these three games or not.
Participation is optional and you don't have to use the client, but if you're a mod author you will notice that the layout of file pages has been changed slightly to accommodate NMM's features. These new features will, naturally, only work if you have NMM installed.
I'm hoping this testing phase will be short-lived and there aren't too many bugs to squash. If all goes to plan, we'll be going in to open beta, for everyone, very soon. Stay tuned.
My thanks go out to the small group of mod authors who have already helped us iron out some bugs and features thus far.

Hello everyone-
I am new to the forum. Pregnant with twins and plan to start pumping 8 weeks pp so I can be away from home for about 5 hours per week plus maybe a date night when the grandmas are reading to babysit?? Then, when the babies are 7 mos or so, I will be back to work full time.
Here are my questions. Please excuse my newness to this..
I am registering for the Madaela freestyle- are the same bottles that are compatible with the other Madela pumps good with the freestyle as well?
Also, I see some older recommendations for bottles that coordinate with the Madela pumps. Any updates/new suggestions recently? I am considering glass bottles.
Also, will I be able to store directly into the bottles and freeze? Plastic or glass?
Thank you for your guidance!

There are 32 of them now, neatly stored in his third-floor office at Lambeau Field. Those who've seen them are amazed by their meticulous nature, by the perfect penmanship, by how thoroughly the thoughts and events of Dom Capers' life are organized and recorded.
His father gave him the first journal on Christmas Day, 1981, and it was the perfect gift for a son who'd always loved detail. As a kid growing up in Buffalo, Ohio, he would mow neighbors' yards to earn extra money – and edge each lawn by hand. With a fork.
And so, when Eugene Capers died of a heart attack three months later at age 57, his son began filling the pages. He obsessed about his health, jotting down his body fat percentage, his cholesterol count, every run or workout. He detailed everyday activities – movies he'd seen, sermons he'd heard in church, conversations he'd had, trips he'd taken. Having studied psychology in college at Mount Union, he chronicled the various thoughts that crossed his mind, in good times and bad. He took notes at every coaching stop – from Ohio State, where he was a 31-year-old assistant when his dad gave him that first leatherbound journal, to the USFL's Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars, to every one of his NFL jobs – about every team meeting, practice and game.
To this day, Capers orders a new edition of the same calendar book each year through the mail. While he keeps the previous years' journals in his office, he takes the current one with him wherever he goes.
Oh, to read what the veteran defensive coordinator is writing these days about his Green Bay Packers defense.
We don't get to, of course. And, truth be told, we don't need to. Because Capers is so consistent, because those who know him best will tell you that his even-keeled personality never changes, we can safely believe that what he'd say about this year's defense wouldn't be vastly different than what he would have said five years ago, when he got the job.
'Ups and downs'
In fact, here's what Capers said on Jan. 19, 2009, the day Packers coach Mike McCarthy introduced him as the team's new defensive coordinator:
"In this business there are a lot of ups and downs. So if you can develop an approach to handle the ups and downs and not get too high with the highs and not get too low with the lows, I think it is important when guys walk in every day that you aren't one way one day and another way the next day," he said that day. "They know what to expect, that you are going to be consistent more than anything else. I think consistent but demanding. Try to define things as much as you can in terms of what is going to be expected.
"I think communication is a key because many times there is something lost in the communication in terms of, 'This is what we expect.' There are certain things you can't compromise (like) the type of effort you play with on defense and your preparation in terms of knowing your assignments. I think if you can do a couple of those things, it goes a long way to of giving you a chance in every game in terms of playing as hard as you can and knowing what to do. Because I think a lot of games are lost because teams will beat themselves. There is a difference in the effort and intensity that teams play with."
That same day, Capers talked about his defensive philosophy. As the 2013 team's run defense has imploded – plummeting from No. 3 in the league after six games to No. 26 in the league entering Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons at Lambeau Field – his words then explain what's going wrong now, and why his game plans might not be as aggressive as he would like them to be.
"All defensive players like to play aggressively. (But) there's a lot of things that factor into that," Capers said then. "I think if you can play aggressively and stop the run, that's the best of both worlds. I think that's where things have to start. The number of things you can do and how aggressive you can become is based on your ability to No. 1, not let people run the football on you so you can dictate the down-and-distance situations. And if you can get offenses into (defensively) advantageous down-and-distance situations, now it opens up a whole lot of things that you can do.
"But if they always keep you in second-and-5, second-and-4, that type of thing, then it takes a little bit of your aggressiveness away because you've got to find some way to get that run stopped, try to get people into predictable down-and-distance, and then I think you can give them a lot more problems."
Asked Friday whether the team's inability to stop the run lately has affected how he calls a game, Capers replied, "Yes. Believe me, the game situations always change how you call a game. … I've always felt that if you could discourage people from running the ball early, a lot of times they get away from it. Now, you can start doing a lot of those things and create problems.
"Hey, we have to get back, and this week we have to go out there and shut down their run game. If we can do that, then normally you can find ways to put pressure on the quarterback, and normally, that's where the turnovers come from."
For 17 minutes Friday, Capers stood outside the Packers' locker room, talking with reporters. It is a weekly ritual, one that tends to follow the same script each time. He is always forthright with his answers, willing to explain aspects of scheme, deliver a scouting report on the upcoming opponent, dole out praise for his guys who are playing well. But do all the Googling, Binging and Lexis-Nexising as you can stand, and you are unlikely to find a single instance of Capers publicly ripping a player. He is more likely to take the blame himself than hang one of his players out to dry.
That was the case again on this day, too. He couldn't even bring himself to criticize departed safety Jerron McMillian, whom the team released earlier in the week after two disappointing seasons.
"I've been in this league long enough that many times I've seen guys released and they catch on with someone else and it's the right situation and their careers take off," he said optimistically.
But there were also a host of questions about Capers job security, about how a segment of the team's famously passionate – and, sometimes, overzealous – fan base is calling for his ouster, about whether his players are still buying into his system.
And true to his personality, Capers' tone of voice never changed; he even smiled as he answered a question that essentially asked him if he'd gotten too old for the job.
"If you've known me for my whole career, I don't get caught up in a lot of those things because I know you're going to go through periods like that," Capers said. "I'll just tell you: If I didn't think I could do it as well know as I did 20 years ago, I wouldn't do it. That's just me. I've got to feel as though I've got something to give, and I feel that way. I don't feel that's changed one bit."
No retirement plan
As a result, at 63 years old, Capers said Friday he has no plans to retire. When the Packers were winning Super Bowl XLV after the 2010 season – when Green Bay ranked fifth in the NFL in fewest yards allowed and second in the league in fewest points allowed – some wondered if Capers might be hired away and get one last shot at being a head coach after building the expansion Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans. Now, while McCarthy has publicly backed him at every turn, social media and sports-talk radio are abuzz with fans' frustration with him.
