The general situation is one of confusion within the health and social services. An enormous injustice, I think, to patients. I don't think that one can blame the health or the social workers at the work face.
I think that they're misinformed; they've been misinformed by some very poor, probably deliberately poor government guidance. And as result of that, there is conflict between the agencies and, as I say, there is enormous injustice to patients and carers.
Yes. Without doubt. I used to think that it was just sort of the cock-up theory that basically you had civil servants that didn't know what they were doing but I don't believe that. I believe that there's been a deliberate policy within the Department of Health to misinform Primary Care Trusts, primarily, of the true legal position, the position that the Court of Appeal laid down in Coughlan and the ombudsmen have been repeating for over 10 years now.
There are historical problems. I'm not just particularly blaming this government but this government came to power in 1997 with one promise on the NHS. Frank Dobson said he would cut waiting lists. And it was a promise even he now would say that was inappropriate.
It was something the government couldn't do in the short term and anything that took resources away from that objective, which the whole country was looking at, was obviously downplayed.
And as the ombudsman has said, she found a letter saying do the bear minimum on continuing care because it doesn't cut waiting lists.
It was taking resources away from cutting waiting lists and therefore, yes, it strategically doesn't count, it doesn't score high enough as a political issue. There are not enough people writing enough letters. It's not getting on the front of the Daily Mail enough to become a political priority.
I don't know. I mean the problem is that the people whose lives are blighted by this, who have to sell their houses, who are traumatised with nervousness and worries and anxiety....These people are exhausted. They're ill-informed. They're often with somebody that's dying and those are not the sort of people that are going to launch campaigns at such a difficult period.
This group of people are vulnerable and their voice isn't being heard.
Yes. We have seen a transformation within 20 years from a service which was formally free and taken as normal to a service now which is effectively means tested.
It's means tested severely in the sense that you are only allowed to keep £18.10 of your income. Everything else goes towards it. So effectively your whole income goes towards your nursing home costs.
No minister's stood up and said "there's been a change of policy" because there has been no change of policy. There's been no document to say "we have now changed our view. People who are long-term ill should have to pay for these things".
No government would like to say we changed our mind, continuing care, long-term chronically ill people are no longer covered by the NHS. You're going to have to pay for it. You're going to have to sell your house.
No government would like to do that. What was interesting was, of course, this problem occurred at the end of the Major government. And the Major government was particularly concerned to stop that because it was hitting Middle England, it was hitting the people that had recently bought their council houses.
I think that the Major government did attempt to resolve the problem actually. But, of course, this government has different priorities.
The government's policy in this area is hypocrisy. I think we're all so cynical about politicians we think that that is normal, that they will say they're doing one thing where we, as people that know about this subject, know that that is completely untrue.
They are not prioritising this. They don't want to prioritise this. They are fearful of the cost. Although I'm not convinced it would be a great cost. So they say one thing and they do something else. So they're being politicians I suppose.
The government has tried to erase the Coughlan decision. There's no doubt about that. The government has reissued guidance after Coughlan but it's not actually mentioned what Coughlan was about.
Coughlan said that if you need a lot of low-level nursing you qualify for continuing care, even if your situation is stable, even if it's predictable. That has never been written into the guidance.
It seems to me that the only way you could write guidance would be to repeat what the Court of Appeal said in the Coughlan decision. It's a succinct statement of continuing care criteria. But that appears in none of the government statements.
There is no doubt the Coughlan decision was very inconvenient to this government. It was a strong decision, it was a clear decision, it is a decision that was unpalatable and therefore the government has to weave a way through it without being totally untruthful but also without actually referring to the case or referring to the case as little as it can.
Yes. I think that the criteria that are emerging from strategic health authorities, continuing to emerge despite the protestations of the Department of Health, are unlawful. They are saying things that are clearly not Coughlan compliant and nobody seems to be pulling them up on this.
I'm a lawyer and I'm saying that these are unlawful. And I have absolutely no doubt that if some of those criteria went to court judges would agree with it.
The issue that comes across to lawyers like myself is that when you take a case like that there is a deal. They give in. But how many people have got the energy to find a lawyer, get legal aid, go along and challenge somebody before they die. In the vast majority, people just give up.
Up and down the country Strategic Health Authorities are doing things that fundamentally affect the life of ill people and their carers which are unlawful.
I'm not surprised about that to be honest. My practice is in social care law and what is astonishing is the across-the-board breaking of the law in relation to the social care rights of vulnerable people, not just by the NHS but by social services.
Largely that's because this is a group of people that don't complain because they are in such terrible straights. Unfortunately, this is not unique but this is a very bad example of it.
The situation I'm describing is unlawful. The consequence of that is that people's homes and savings are being put at risk and also they're being caused enormous anxiety at an acute period of their lives.
The way of describing that would be to say that it's outrageous and it's profound injustice.

Wojciech Szczesny believes Arsenal would not have retrieved a point against Fulham in the same circumstances last season.
The Gunners were forced to battle for a hard-earned point against the Cottagers at Emirates Stadium on Saturday with Thomas Vermaelen's late header eventually earning the hosts a share of the spoils.
Szczesny believes there are plenty of positives to take from the match despite not walking away with all three points.
"Let's take the positives because we responded well," he said. "I told the lads that after the game.
"We were frustrated in the dressing room because we want to win every game. But when we calm down a bit we will realise we played really well and looked like the only team that would win.
"You can see from today that we are up for a fight. It's not as beautiful but we got there.
"We lacked a bit of luck in the box, they made some fantastic blocks and clearances. It's not always beautiful but it's effective. Hopefully that will take us further up the table.
Szczesny praised the visitors for a battling display, citing his opposite number Mark Schwarzer for a particularly eye-catching performance.
"Of course, we're always disappointed not to get three points," he said. "I thought we played well, our attitude was fantastic.
"Credit to Fulham, they defended fantastically towards the end and Schwarzer made a few fantastic saves. I think we needed a few more minutes to win the game.
"It didn't happen though and we can only praise the team spirit. We finished on a high, which hopefully we can take into the next game.
"We've still got the momentum so hopefully we can take that onto the Man City and Wigan games. We are still confident."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Best Surgeon in the US to do reconstructive rhinoplasty for a nose job that turned out bad? Scared of choosing the correct one.
- Valerie91288
- Knoxville, TN
- Last updated: 3 years ago
Around 2005 I had rhinoplasty done to smooth out a bump on the top of my nose and to thin the tip a bit... At first it looked ok.. It never looked great. But after a few months all of my cartilage in the tip started moving. As more time goes by it just continues to get worse and worse. The cartilage has completely dropped down in the tip of my nose resulting in several pointy places on the end. I am located in TN but will travel for the best surgeon!

Auction-Rate Securities: Out of Luck
The auction-rate securities mess is starting to clear up for some investors, but for those who own any of the $85 billion of such debt backed by student loans, the news is bad and getting worse. Sold as rock-solid, highly liquid, cash-equivalent investments, student-loan-backed auction-rate bonds have ended up as one of the worst-performing segments of the market.
In limited secondary market trading, student-loan-backed debt is trading for as little 75¢ on the dollar, a huge loss for investors who were pitched the securities as a higher-yielding alternative to certificates of deposit or money market mutual funds. Analysts expect bids to continue dropping as more holders, particularly public companies, look to sell.
"A lot of people are coming to the realization that there's no light at the end of the tunnel for these," says Cathy Gregg, a partner at corporate finance consulting firm Treasury Strategies in Chicago.
Lack of Buyers Leads to Collapse
The auction-rate securities market (BusinessWeek, 5/22/08) had functioned normally for years, with periodic auctions every 7, 28, or 35 days resetting the interest rates on what were in reality long-term bond issues. Since existing holders believed they could easily sell their securities at auction, they treated the bonds as if they were similar to short-term debt.
But in February, the market collapsed when not enough new buyers showed up at hundreds of auctions. In addition to general concerns arising from the credit market turmoil, investors worried that bond insurers that backed many auction-rate issues were in danger of being downgraded. In the past, the Wall Street firms that conducted the auctions had stepped in and bought to avoid failures. But as they got battered by subprime credit losses, they too stayed on the sidelines.
The key problem for investors holding student-loan-backed debt is that the government-run and private lending authorities that issued the securities have little ability to raise additional funds to redeem their bonds at par. And the so-called penalty rates on many student-loan-backed bonds, the rate that the securities default to in the case of failed auctions, have fallen to 0%, at least temporarily. By law, the trusts that issue student-loan-backed bonds can't pay out more than they receive as interest payments from borrowers.
Small Discounted Buybacks
So far, only one student loan issuer, the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority, has announced a rescue plan. This issuer has said it will buy back some $30 million of its $3.5 billion of outstanding debt at a discount. A call to the Authority wasn't immediately returned.
About a dozen student loan authorities have either already started quietly buying back small amounts of their auction-rate securities at a discount or are in the planning stages, according to Barry Silbert, president of Restricted Stock Partners in New York. Silbert's firm runs the Restricted Securities Trading Network, which has been one of the only trading outlets for auction-rate securities since the market froze up.
The discounted buybacks by student loan issuers "may be newsworthy but they're so small that they're not going to give a lot of comfort to the holders," Silbert says.
What's Left for Debt-Holders?
By contrast, municipalities have already redeemed or announced plans to redeem more than $60 billion of the $165 billion of auction-rate bonds they issued. Unlike student-loan backed debt, muni auction-rate securities pay high penalty rates, even exceeding 10% in some cases, when their auctions fail.
And closed-end fund issuers are also making progress on redeeming the $60 billion of auction-rate preferred stock shares they backed. Fund issuers have already announced redemptions totaling about 23% of the closed-end fund auction-rate market, according to Wachovia Securities analyst Mariana Bush.
What's left for holders of student-loan-backed debt? There's a limited appetite for purchasing the debt in the secondary market. Much of the money still on the sidelines hopes to buy at 50¢ on the dollar, says Restricted Stock's Silbert. And there's nowhere near $80 billion of possible buyers, he says.
So even with some secondary market sales, investors will be stuck with as much as $70 billion worth of student-loan-backed securities, according to a recent report by JPMorgan analyst Alex Roever. "Current investors are at risk of having to hold positions until maturity, which in a few cases may be almost 40 years away," Roever writes.

Cuomo: 'Can they lead? Can they get a tough budget done?'
I caught the tail end of Cuomo's comments on Fred Dicker's radio show, but the chest-thumping seemed fairly direct.
Cuomo warned what would happen if legislative leaders - Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos - fail to deliver enough votes to get his budget passed: they could be painted as advocates for the special interest.
"The question is can they get it done? Can they lead? Can they get a tough budget done," Cuomo asked rhetorically.
Cuomo - whose has sky-high approval ratings right now - said if it turns out either legislative leader "favors the special interest, then we're going to have a problem."
When asked about progress on an ethics reform bill, Cuomo paid a compliment to Silver and Skelos, and then promptly downplayed it.
After saying the three parties have gotten "closer" and "closer," Cuomo said, "closer doesn't matter to me."
"It's very easy to get close to the goal line. What they excel is getting close to the goal line but not going over."
Cuomo's talk was notably assertive (can we call it aggressive, it was so pleasantly delivered?) and it put the spotlight on two legislative partners that aren't well known outside political circles.
Which is what Alan Chartock predicted.
In light of Cuomo's 72 percent approval rating, Chartock said Cuomo has "got everyone on the run right now" and "if they see poll numbers around 75 percent, they've got to fear him."

I have had problems with all kinds of people. mostly hunters poaching my land. again; super easy to find them if you have simple tools, but the illegal wheeling has got to stop. They think my crane is a personal diving board, the trashcan is not their personal trash can, the beer cans left ALL OVER the property, huge ruts in the middle of my haul roads, removing my signage etc. If you guys could prove its this asshole I would LOVE to turn him in. The fun thing is if you do get stuck on my property, its an active mine! all >1000 acres of it. regardless if I am using that part right now or not. Accidents involving personal property being damaged do get reported if i decide to send it in.. SO If I decide to crush your jeep its a simple 'woops' for me. followed by MSHA investigating a simple "they were trespassing, do not have proper training for the mine, weren't wearing PPE, etc." will bode over $40000 in fines from the federal govt. They will fine you; as they are real pricks. I know a few people that 'like' that kzoo page, I converted one of them, the rest were assholes.
Don't you have people come out and wheel your property WITH you?
If so, not sure why these idiots wouldn't just ask to wheel with you.
Edit: I guess it is because they are idiots, commons sense is not a necessity these days

Over a Cup of Coffee: Mary's easy-to-make recipes
September 11, 2010
Awhile back, I requested sugar-free recipes and those that are easy to make, requiring few ingredients and utensils.
Craig resident Mary Burnett responded by sending four recipes, two of which appeared in last week's column.
She said she has used the recipes over and over.
So, here are the last two recipes. I haven't taken the time to cook much of anything lately (I keep thinking that I'm busy), so I haven't tried these yet, Mary, but I know that they will be delicious.
To make "5 Cup Salad" (or dessert), you'll need: 1 cup pineapple chunks or tidbits (drained), 1 cup miniature marshmallows, 1 cup shredded coconut, 1 cup mandarin oranges (drained), and 1 cup sour cream.
Mix all of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Chill in the refrigerator. That's all.
Most of us keep these ingredients on hand so it's a great recipe to make when we have unexpected company joining us for a meal.
I'll bet that fat-free sour cream could be used, too.
This second recipe takes so few ingredients that it almost seems too good to be true.
To make "Mary's Peanut Butter Cookies," you'll need: 1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth), 1 cup sugar, and 1 egg.
Mix all of the ingredients in a medium size bowl.
Roll dough into balls the size of walnuts. Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with vegetable spray. Flatten balls slightly with a fork.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from the pan.
This is a great recipe for you bachelors — as long as you have a cookie sheet and an oven. Just think, you can have home-baked cookies in a jiffy.
Thanks go to Mary for the great recipes!
My husband and I haven't had the best luck with our garden this year. We blame it on the strange weather.
Anyhow, I did pick a couple zucchini so I'm going to try a recipe I've had in my file for awhile (origin unknown).
To make "Zucchini Casserole," you'll need: sliced zucchini, browned hamburger with onions, cheese, cream of mushroom soup, and canned onion rings. (That's all the information listed.)
In a casserole dish, make layers in order of the ingredients listed above.
Repeat the layers until the casserole dish is full. (I'm assuming that the size of the dish depends on the amount of ingredients.)
Then top with canned onion rings. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.
This recipe might take a little experimentation. If anyone tries it, let me know how the dish turned out.
If you have recipes you'd like to share, call me at 824-8809 or write to me at Box 415, Craig 81626.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Premiere "The Tourist" in Madrid
Cranking out another stop on the press circuit, Angelina Jolie was joined by Brad Pitt at "The Tourist" premiere in Madrid, Spain on Thursday (December 16).
Held at Palacio de los Deportes, the "Mr and Mrs Smith" co-star couple looked fabulous per the usual as they worked the red carpet.
With co-star Johnny Depp also in attendance, Miss Jolie spent the morning at a press photo call - during which time she had nothing but praise for her Spanish visit.
She told reporters that she loves "Madrid and Barcelona mainly for art and great food." She added: "There are extraordinary museums and collections of art here."

Yellow fever is a virus infection, which cause a serious hepatitis. The vaccine provides protection for 10 years after a single injection. Countries where yellow fever is present are entitled to request a valid certificate documenting a vaccination against yellow fever at least 10 days before entry. The certificate is a stamp in the WHO yellow book.
Infectious hepatitis infects through contaminated food and water. Vaccination consists of two injections about 12 months apart, which protects for up to 25 years. The first vaccination protects for 12 months. The hepatitis A vaccine can be combined with the vaccine against hepatitis B .
Tetanus is a complication to wounds contaminated by soil. If there has been a vaccination within the past 10 years it is not necessary to give a booster in case of wounds and accidents. Tetanus vaccinations are usually given in combination with diphtheria vaccine. If you are previously vaccinated, the vaccine can be given right up to departure.

No. 6 Kingsmen Rally Past No. 8 Trinity
CLU defeats No. 8 Trinity 6-3
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Facing each other for the second time in three weeks, No. 6 Cal Lutheran defeated No. 8 Trinity (Tex.) 6-3 Friday evening at the Poulson Tennis Center. The Kingsmen had defeated the Tigers by the same score in the previous meeting on Feb. 24, during the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Indoor Tournament.
Whereas Cal Lutheran took two of the three doubles matches in the first meeting, Trinity flipped the script Friday when it captured the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles matches. The No. 2 pairing of Nicolas Moreno and Charlie Curtis defeated Alex Nichols and Connor Treacy 8-4 while the No. 3 grouping of Greg Haugen and Connor topped Thomas Millet and Marcelo Sousa 8-2.
The Kingsmen salvaged the double portion of the duel when the No. 1 pairing of Nicholas Ballou and Ray Worley defeated Erick DelaFuente and Jordan Mayer 8-3. The CLU duo avenged their only loss of the season since DelaFuente and Mayer defeated them 8-6 during the first meeting.
Trailing 2-1 and with the match hanging in the balance, Cal Lutheran won five of six singles matches to capture its fourth win over a ranked opponent this season.
Ballou made a strong case to be the No. 1 singles player in Division III as he defeated current No. 1 Aaron Skinner for the second consecutive time. The senior dropped the first set 6-4 before battling back to take the second 6-3. The two exchanged points until Ballou won the super set tie-breaker 7-6 after hitting a perfect drop-shot that Skinner was unable to return.
Worley, the No. 2 singles player for CLU, improved to 6-2 on the year after defeated Haugen 7-5, 6-3.

|Head Coach
|Previous College:
|Northern Arizona '00
Kim Bruno enters her 11th season at NAU as the head women's tennis coach. She served as the director of tennis and oversaw both Lumberjack tennis programs for five years from 2008-13 before being hired as head coach in 2006. From the get-go, Bruno has laid the foundation for Lumberjack tennis as she was named the Big Sky Conference Women's Tennis Coach of the Year in her inaugural season. Just two years later the team finished second in the conference and posted an overall season record of 15-8. This marked their best season since 2002. Bruno's winningest season to date came in 2013 tying for the second-highest single season win total in program history at 17. In her tenure, Bruno has tallied an all-time record of 125-104 with an impressive Big Sky Conference record of 68-16. In addition, Bruno has led 41 All-Big Sky Conference selections, 12 multiple all-conference selections and has garnered 19 Big Sky Player of the Week selections. She has captured a total of eight winning seasons- seven with 13 or more wins- and eight Big Sky Championship appearances in her ten years at NAU. Off the court, Bruno has produced 24 Big Sky All-Academic Selections, 9 players who earned Big Sky All-Academic selections multiple years, over 40 Golden Eagle Scholar-Athletes, one NCAA Woman of the Year recipient, one CoSIDA/Capital One Academic First-Team All-District selection and three consecutive (2013-2015) NCAA Public Recognition Awards honoring excellence in the classroom.
In 2014, Bruno once again led the Lumberjacks to the Big Sky Championships, finishing third in the conference. The Lumberjacks ended the 2014 season with a 9-15 overall record and an impressive 8-2 record in the conference. NAU played their best tennis during conference play as the women picked up eight wins in the Big Sky, four at home and four on the road. Their most memorable win this season was on Senior Day against Sacramento State. For 13 years, the Northern Arizona women's tennis team has had some painful losses at the hand of Sacramento State. Well for the first time since 2001, the Lumberjacks were able to defeat the Hornets 6-1 and Bruno was able to earn her first win ever against Sacramento State. The women ended the season on a four-match winning streak in conference and a second place finish in the Big Sky. Junior Johanna Vang was named First Team All-Big Sky after her stellar performance at the No. 1 position this year for the Lumberjacks. Vang led the team in wins this season in singles with 12 and was tied for fourth in the conference with eight wins in the Big Sky on the No. 1 court. Vang was second in the Big Sky with the most wins at the No. 1 position in conference matches. Earning All-Big Sky Honorable Mention was freshman Hailey Rochin after an impressive freshman campaign being tied for second on the team in singles wins with 10, playing her best tennis when it mattered most, during conference play. On the No. 4 court, Rochin went 8-5 and played stellar in the Big Sky with a 7-3 record in singles play.
In 2013, Bruno led the Lumberjack women to one of their finest seasons in program history. The women's team finished the 2013 season 17-10 overall, 8-2 in the Big Sky, and reached the conference semifinals. The 17 victories tied for the second-highest single season win total in program history and was the most the team had posted since 2002. Over the course of the season, Bruno's women's team posted an eight-match win streak, the second longest win streak in school history. Records fell across the board as Bruno coached all six of her starters to all-conference honors, the most in program history. The Lumberjacks led the Big Sky in team singles wins (93) and doubles wins (55) with the 55 doubles wins setting a new single-season high while the 93 singles wins were two shy of equaling the school record. Seniors Alice Pacaut and Malia Wahinepio led the Big Sky with a 20-3 doubles record and broke the school record for doubles victories by a tandem in school history while senior Nicole Perez led the conference with a 19-8 singles record tying the school's single season school record win total. If the on-court accolades wasn't enough, the Lumberjack women was recognized by the NCAA with the APR Public Recognition Award for posting perfect single-year APR scores each of the previous four years. On the men's side, Bruno continued the tutelage of Dominic Bermudez, who garnered his second All-Big Sky honor as he was voted Honorable Mention.
In 2012, Bruno guided the women's team to their seventh consecutive Big Sky Championship appearance despite a lineup that featured four new starters, including two freshmen. The women's team also posted their seventh consecutive double-digit win season, finishing 10-13 overall and 7-1 in the conference. The Lumberjack women, who dropped a tight 4-2 match to Montana in the Big Sky Championship semifinal, placed four players, three of whom were honored for the first time of their careers, on the All-Conference teams. They also received the ITA All-Academic Team award showcasing their excellence in the classroom in addition to on the court. Bruno also assisted with the growth of Bermudez, who posted a career-year on the men's team in his second season at NAU. Bermudez, a 2011 All-Big Sky second team selection, led the Lumberjack men through a 6-16 season and a 2-6 conference record.
During the 2011 season, Bruno led both of the NAU tennis programs to the finals of the Big Sky Championship for the second straight season. The women's team finished the season with a 13-11 overall record and a 7-1 conference record. To reach their sixth consecutive Big Sky final, the Lumberjack women outlasted Montana in the semifinal round, 4-3 in a match that lasted over five hours. For the second straight season, the women's team placed a school record-tying five players on the All-Big Sky team including Edit Suhajda, who became the second player in program history to earn four All-Big Sky first team selections. The men's team went 9-12 overall and 6-2 in the conference in 2011. The Lumberjack men had three All-Big Sky selections for the second straight year with Hugo Ramadier, David Flodberg and Robin Pezzutto earning all-conference honors.
In 2010, both NAU tennis programs reached the finals of the Big Sky Championship. The Lumberjack women went 13-7 overall, losing just one regular season Big Sky match and placing a school record-tying five players on the All-Big Sky team. NAU's men's tennis team went 13-9 in 2010 and recorded their most wins since 2000, including a 6-1 victory over Sacramento State that ended the Hornet's 24-match conference winning streak. Andrew Reiff, Hugo Ramadier, and David Flodberg represented the Lumberjack's on the All-Big Sky team.
In 2009, the NAU women's team returned to the Big Sky Championship match but fell one win short of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth-consecutive year. The women finished the season 13-10 overall and 6-2 in conference play, placing third in the Big Sky regular season standings. The NAU men went 7-18 in 2009 but were 5-3 in the Big Sky, advancing to the conference tournament quarterfinals in Bruno's first season as head of the men's squad.
After four standout years as a student-athlete for the Lumberjacks, Bruno returned to her alma mater in 2005 and has since led NAU to a third-place finish in the regular-season standings in 2006 and runner-up finishes in the conference in 2007 and 2008. Prior to Bruno arriving in Flagstaff, the Lumberjacks had finished below .500 three years in a row.
In her first season, Bruno guided NAU to a 10-10 overall record and a 4-2 mark in league play. In her second year, Bruno coached the Lumberjack women to a 12-10 overall record finishing 6-1 in conference play and the women advanced to the conference tournament championship final for the first time since 2004. The 12-win season was another improvement with Bruno increasing the Lumberjack win total in each of her first three seasons. She totaled 10 overall wins in 2006, 12 in 2007 and 15 in 2008.
Bruno is no stranger to NAU having been a standout tennis player for the Lumberjacks from 1996-2000. She helped lead the Lumberjacks to their first Big Sky Conference tournament title as a freshman, and then twice more as a sophomore and junior, marking the only three consecutive conference titles for the team in the history of the program.
Bruno also led the team to the program's only NCAA Tournament appearance in 1999. In 2009, the 1999 women's tennis team was inducted into the NAU Hall of Fame.
In her senior year, the Lumberjacks were defeated in the Big Sky Championship finals, making Bruno and her fellow seniors the only class to reach the finals four years in a row. She posted an overall record that year of 18-15.
Bruno was a three-time All-Big Sky second team selection, and was named to the All-Big Sky first-team and All-Academic team as a senior year. While at NAU, Bruno was also awarded the SkyJacks Scholarship given to one athlete a year for outstanding academic and athletic performance. After graduation from Northern Arizona, Bruno traveled and held jobs as a ski instructor and whitewater rafting guide at Sunlight Mountain in Glenwood Springs, Colo., and later as a tennis pro for Club Med in the Bahamas.
In 2002 she was hired as the assistant women's tennis coach at Dartmouth College, where her responsibilities included individual lessons, recruiting, travel scheduling, and setting up tournaments. Bruno then spent two years at the University of Connecticut as the men's and women's graduate assistant tennis coach. At Connecticut she served as the only assistant to head coach Glenn Marshall.
Bruno's other coaching experience includes teaching tennis at country clubs during the summers for nine years, including one summer spent in Flagstaff teaching tennis at Forest Highlands Country Club.
The Chicago, Ill., native earned a bachelor's degree in health and physical education from Northern Arizona in 2000 and a master's degree in sports management from Connecticut in 2005.

Kelly Clarkson has just showed off her figure as she appeared in Parade magazine, hitting newsstands on Sunday (November 24, 2013). The 31-year-old "Tie the Knot" hitmaker looked pretty beautiful in a sparkly red dress in the photo shot by photographer Miller Mobley. After striking for a pose for the spread, Ms Clarkson had an interview with the mag, in which she shared her thoughts on wanting to have children.
"My eggs aren't getting any younger, so we've already started trying," the American Idol star said. "I'm totally gonna have a girl. I'm manifesting it! And when I have a girl, you're gonna be like, 'That chick knew it!'"
During the interview with the publication, the "Stronger" songstress also dished on surprisingly feeling zero pressure to lose baby weight. "Everybody calls me fat all the time, so I can't wait to have a reason, instead of everybody just being a jerk!," she said. "I've never been Gisele Bündchen, so ain't nobody expectin' that! I like to set a [low] standard so people don't expect a lot."

Ann's Feedback on 16 Days Kathmandu, Lhasa, Xian, Beijing Tour
Contribute by Ann from Ireland; Tour date: 9/20/2010
Dear Leon,
It was the best itinerary for us. We got to see all the major attractions within our timeframe The city walls in Xian. It was an impressive feature to the city. Enjoyed the cycle around it also. It was something I wasn't expecting as the main attraction to Xian was the Terracotta Army so this was a great surprise!
Chris from Xian. She went above and beyond for us. She answered all our questions, brought us to additional places not on our itinerary and also booked us a night at the Tang Dynasty in which she and her driver brought us to and wanted to wait until the show was over to bring us back to the hotel (which we declined) as she was with us all day and it really wasn't necessary but were most impressed with her enthusiasm and professionalism.

Top University of Tennessee fundraiser to resign
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) _ The president of the University of Tennessee's fundraising arm is retiring after less than two years on the job.
The state's flagship public university said in a release Monday that Johnnie Ray, head of the UT Foundation and vice president for deployment and alumni affairs, cited family and other priorities as factors in his decision to leave the school.
The foundation in May fired Bruce Downsbrough, its chief operating officer and executive vice president, after his arrest on federal child pornography charges.
Ray joined the university in November 2011. The effective date of his resignation has not yet been determined.
The school said Lofton Stuart, a vice president of the UT Foundation, will take over while a national search for a permanent replacement is conducted.

I Love Dragons eBook Giveaway!
Dragon Lovers Unite!
Whether fire-breathing or water-dwelling, winged or serpentine, dragons capture our imagination and take us to fantastic new worlds. For the month of February, nineteen dragon writers have gathered together to offer a collection worth sinking your teeth into. We've got dragons of all sizes, from friendly to fierce and everything in between. Let's take a closer look at a few of them:
A Keeper's Tale: The Story of Tomkin and the Dragon
by JA Andrews
Regardless of his aspirations, the bookish, untrained young man is better suited to recording the deeds of heroes than being one himself.
Which becomes an obvious problem when he finds himself clinging to a ledge above a sleeping dragon. And instead of wielding his family's great sword with valor and skill, he drops it—onto the dragon.
The problem grows immeasurably worse when Tomkin himself falls off the ledge—also onto the dragon.
And his problem reaches its peak when Tomkin, after being captured, discovers a maiden locked in a tower. But this is no sweet damsel. Not only does she refuse to be rescued, she refuses to even admit she's in distress.
It's too bad for the people of Marshwell that Tomkin is the only thing standing - or falling - in the dragon's way.
Dragon Friend
by Marc Secchia
Gold Award winner - 2016 Independent Publisher Book Awards
Stabbed. Burned by a dragon. Abandoned for the windrocs to pick over. The traitor Ra'aba tried to silence Hualiama forever. But he reckoned without the strength of a dragonet's paw, and the courage of a girl who refused to die.
Only an extraordinary friendship will save Hualiama's beloved kingdom of Fra'anior and restore the King to the Onyx Throne. Flicker, the valiant dragonet. Hualiama, a foundling, adopted into the royal family. The power of a friendship which paid the ultimate price.
This is the tale of Hualiama Dragonfriend, and a love which became legend.
King's Warrior
by Jenelle Leanne Schmidt
When Dark Warriors invade her country, it is up to Princess Kamarie to seek out the legendary king's warrior and request his aid. The feisty princess has spent her life dreaming of adventure and is thrilled to be tasked with such a quest. There's only one thing that can dampen the princess's excitement: Oraeyn. The squire views his task of protecting the princess on her journey as an inglorious assignment and makes no attempt to hide his disappointment.
Despite a rocky start to their journey – in which Oraeyn throws the obnoxious princess in a river just to get her to call him by name – the travelers soon learn that they must depend upon one another if they are to locate the man they have been sent to find.
The adventure merely begins when they meet Brant: a warrior with a mysterious past. He joins their cause readily, his heart smoldering with a vendetta Kamarie cannot completely understand. But whether she trusts him or not, the hope of their world rests on the steel he wears at his side.
But Wait ... There's More!

Converting covered patio into a sunroom
Hi there,
We just bought a new house (closing near the end of January and moving in there early-mid Feb) and planning what we need to do and what we can do. One thing we are considering is to convert the covered patio in the back to a closed sunroom (not sure if that is the right name for what we are thinking).
Here is a little background: I have two little kids and we need to make a playroom for them. They will have a playroom on the second floor but we also want somewhere on the first floor where we can safely leave them for a bit while we finish chores. The first floor has a fairly open floor plan where we can't really put baby gates to block the kitchen area. So now we are considering converting the patio into a closed area with carpet or tile.
The patio has a cement floor and a roof supported on 4 wooden pillars (there is nothing on top). There is already electrical connectivity (a fan and two lights). I am thinking of putting a wall of windows on three side to close this area. Will probably need to make a foot or so of wall around to place the windows.
The questions are:
What would this involve? I am trying to better assess all the things that need to be considered and if this is something I can do myself?
I'd recommend talking with your building official to start with. They would be able to let you know the code requirements you'd have to comply with.
There is no reason you should not be able to perform this yourself, maybe with a little help online and from friends on-site.
you will probably need an electrician to install electrical outlets. again building official can direct you on this.
typically if you have less than 18" from the bottom of the window to the floor your glazing has to be safety glazing. Don't want kids breaking the glass. Again the building official can give you your code requirements for this.
post back with any questions.
good luck!
Posting a picture with be a big help.
One big issue that often comes up when doing this is water getting in under the walls and door opening.
No footings under the walls may be another red flag.
Gary has offered good advice----that space can add a lot to your enjoyment of the home---post up a picture of the structure ---
Thanks guys! I will find out the details of the building code. The roof and one wall already have electrical connections so I was thinking that I wouldn't need to do any electrical stuff.
Here are a few pictures.
As I suggested the slab is right at grade so water getting in is going to the a big issue.
Going to need at least one row of block before the walls are built.
Any sheathing or siding needs to be at least 6" above grade.
The building codes in your area are probably going to require that you put electrical outlets on the other 3 walls to conform with the NEC if you enclose them completely. Are you planning on adding some source for heat and air-conditioning in this area? This could also cause problems with condensation on the slab if there is not a vapor barrier and installation installed underneath it, you would also want to check the ceiling area for sufficient insulation.
To be actual living space, you will basically need to tear it off and start over with a higher pitch to the roof so you can get enough insulation in it to pass code and get it high up enough off of the ground.
What you could probably do without going to a lot of trouble would be to screen it in and then do some storm windows that you put up in winter to keep the cold out. It won't be able to be heated (or cooled in summer, which will be much worse) to any great degree like that, but it won't be as cold as the outdoors. If it's on the south or west side of the house, it will be impossibly hot to use in the summer anyway pretty much no matter what you do short of a complete demolition and remake.
Also require a vapor barrier poly under the slab, as well as thickened perimeter footing to support the wall/glazing per codes. Basically start over...
My initial thoughts were that I would just create a perimeter wall of about 2 foot and put some window frames (and some light weight blinds) - keeping the rood as it is. The patio is facing south but I was thinking of keeping the windows open in the summer and closed during the winter and not worry about insulation. I wasn't sure about the floor.
But it is becoming clear that I will likely need to do the roof again - and that is a discouragement. As soon as I start raising the base/slab the ceiling may not be high enough. This is a lot more work and will likely cost me a lot more than I was thinking.
To recap all the suggestions (in no particular order), I need to do the following:
1. Need a layer of blocks for footing before perimeter walls, also need vapor barrier.
2. Need to find the building code in the area and if need electrical outlets in all the walls
3. Higher pitch roof with insulation
If you guys can point me to any other reference or resource to learn more about this before committing to this project, that would be great.
Thanks again.
once you have this information you'll know in what direction to proceed.
A lot of great advice has been given. I know it is not what you wanted to hear. but I know growing up as a kid my play room was my bed room. that might be the best and cheapest thing to do.

Tonight's State of the Union Address (9pm ET) is sure to generate opinions from across the ideological spectrum. As with every SOTU speech, there will undoubtedly be a laundry list of new initiatives that President Obama will look to focus on in 2013. Some will applaud these usually ambitious items and some will criticize them.
In the past, sharing your opinion of the speech, and its content, was relegated to water coolers and talk radio. Now, thanks to the magic of digital, you are able to give feedback online in real-time and be heard.
Here are a few ways you can digitally make your thoughts about the SOTU public:
- Bing – Microsoft and Fox News have partnered up on Bing Pulse, a real-time interactive polling tool that will gauge online audience reaction to the speech. Pulse will be housed on Bing's special State of the Union page. Also included on this page will be a live stream of the speech, a Twitter feed from select U.S. political accounts and links to other political news.
- WhiteHouse.gov – The White House website will be live streaming the speech in its entirety while adding what they are calling "enhanced" features. These enhancements include related graphs and data that can only be found on the site. There are also a number of links on the site to places where you can comment on what you are viewing.
- Twitter – Of course, if you want your opinion to be made public, is there a better platform than Twitter? Once again, Twitter will be hopping tonight before/during/after the speech. The best hashtag to use to have your opinion heard tonight is #SOTU.
- Google+ – President Obama will again take to the Google+ network for a live hangout on Thursday 2/14 at 4:50pm ET. Clearly, the State of the Union will be the predominant topic of the hangout. From now until 11:59pm ET on 2/13, users are able to submit questions for the President to the White House YouTube page. According to a Google blog announcement you will also be able to watch the State of the Union on the White House YouTube page as well.

Mumbai: The former Miss India and one of the most beautiful women in the entire world, Sarah Jane is definitely someone to keep an eye on. The latest buzz in the industry is that she will be seen in the upcoming thriller called Game, where she will be starring opposite Abhishek Bachchan.
From what we were able to find out, it appears that even before the release of the film, the actress has already begun to capture the center of attention. The lovely celebrity has already started to romance Ranbir Kapoor, and not in the film as anyone could expect, but in a commercial advertisement for a popular drink.
Sarah Jane has stated in a recent interview that the filming for the commercial in question is done and that she stared in it opposite Ranbir Kapoor. The brand of the drink was Pepsi. The debutant actress also wanted to add that she really liked working with Ranbir Kapoor, who is quite a great guy, the same as actor Abhishek Bachchan.

Game 1 | Game 2
Sites: Conway, SC (Watson Stadium)
Event: Caravelle Resort Classic
Score: Michigan 17, Lipscomb 14; #10 Coastal Carolina 13, Michigan 4
Records: U-M (6-8), Lipscomb (5-9), Coastal Carolina (13-2)
Next U-M Event: Sunday, March 14 -- at Coastal Carolina (Myrtle Beach, S.C.), 1 p.m.
CONWAY, S.C. -- The University of Michigan baseball team built a 15-0 lead in the first three innings and held off Lipscomb for a 17-14 win but could not keep the bats alive in the afternoon in a 13-4 loss to host and No. 10-ranked Coastal Carolina on Saturday afternoon (March 13) on day two of the Caravelle Resort Classic at Watson Stadium.
U-M's co-captains, senior catcher Chris Berset (Vienna, Va./Heights School) and senior first baseman Mike Dufek (Scottsdale, Ariz./Desert Mountain), each had three hits in the first game. Dufek had four runs batted in, while Berset added three. The Wolverines needed to use five different pitchers to get through the long game. Junior pitcher Kolby Wood (Eau Claire, Mich./Berrien Springs) earned the win against Lipscomb. In game two, freshman leftfielder Patrick Biondi (Woodhaven, Mich./Divine Child) and Berset added two hits each. Freshman shortstop Derek Dennis (Ada, Mich./Forest Hills Central) hit a home run in each game.
The first six batters reached base for the Wolverines in the top of the first, including a leadoff double by Biondi. Berset knocked in Biondi on a single to right for the first run of the game. Dufek then drove in two on a single to right, and a double by junior/sophomore first baseman Garrett Stephens (Davison, Mich./Davison) to right centerfield knocked in another pair. The Wolverines went on to bat around before Lipscomb pulled its starter. Biondi picked up his second hit of the inning on an infield single to drive in senior outfielder Nick Urban (Whitehall, Mich./Whitehall) as Michigan finished with 10 runs scored in the top half of the first.
Urban provided more offense in the second inning for Michigan with a first-pitch home run to left centerfield. Hits by Berset, Crank and Dufek drove in three more runs for U-M, which closed out the top half of the second leading, 14-0. Dennis then hit his first career home run in the top of the third to pad the large Michigan lead.
A six-run third on only a single hit brought the Bisons in the game. Four hits in the fourth added three more runs for Lipscomb, and two two-run home runs to leftfield in both the fifth and sixth brought the Michigan lead to only three runs at 16-13.
The Wolverines posed a threat with two runners in scoring position in the seventh, but Michigan could not get anyone across. The Bisons scored one more in the seventh inning to bring the game within two. With runners on first and third, Lipscomb tried a double steal, but U-M got the out at home to end the seventh.
Wood made an impact on offense, with run-scoring single in the ninth to increase the U-M lead to three at 17-14.
Trailing 3-0 in the top of the fifth of the second game, Michigan jumped on the board on a run-scoring fielder's choice by Dennis, scoring sophomore third baseman John Lorenz (Frankfurt, Ill./Lincoln-Way East). After the Chanticleers went four straight scoreless innings, they added five runs on a couple of hits, including a three-run home run in the sixth, to lead 8-1.
Leading off the top of the seventh, Dennis launched a ball to the left centerfield for his second home run of the day. The Wolverines loaded the bases up for the second inning in a row, after failing to produce a run the first time around in the sixth. However, Urban drew a walk in the seventh to score Biondi from third to add another run to the board, and Michigan left the top of the seventh trailing, 8-3. The Wolverines added one more run in the top of the ninth on an RBI single by Dufek, solidifying the 13-4 final.
Michigan is set to play No. 10 Coastal Carolina again Sunday afternoon (March 14) at 1 p.m. at BB&T Coastal Stadium in the final day of the Caravelle Resort Classic.

Danny Lennon leaves St Mirren as club decide not to renew manager's contract
Last Updated: 12/05/14 1:13pm
Danny Lennon has left St Mirren after the club decided against renewing his contract.
The 45-year-old replaced Gus MacPherson as manager in 2010 and took the club to their highest Scottish Premiership finish in 25 years when they finished eighth in 2012.
Lennon also guided St Mirren to League Cup glory last year, their first major trophy since 1987.
The Buddies finished eighth again this season, but Lennon's poor win percentage looks to have cost him his job. Under his stewardship the club won just 50 of his 179 games in charge.
A club statement read: "The board of directors have today decided not to offer Danny Lennon an extension to his contract that expires in June 2014.
"Danny and his players gave our club one of its finest days on 17th March 2013 and they will always be remembered by the club for that wonderful day.
"Decisions like this are never easy, however we would in particular, commend Danny for his professionalism and the dignified way he has carried out his duties during a very challenging season.
"The board would like to thank Danny for his service to the club over the last four years and wish him every success in the future."

In India it is quite common that one may not get a train ticket reservation even on the first day of the ticket reservation cycle - which opens four months in advance. So, what does on do?
If your starting point is other than starting point of the train then some smart people try to book ticket from a earlier station; and then apply for change of boarding point. Of course, if you try to give your boarding point while booking the ticket then the system shows that tickets are not available because system computes availability based on quota reserved for your boarding point. Then, what does one do to change the boarding point after the ticket is booked?
Take a regular Reservation Slip. Write on top 'Change of Boarding Point'. Fill in all details as seen in your ticket including PNR number. Against 'Boarding Point' write new boarding point that you want. Then reach railway reservation counter (PRS) with your printed ticket, reservation slip and photocopy of one identity proof say PAN card, Election Card etc. One need not go personally i.e., you can send another person to do this.
Go to the Inquiry Counter and give this documents. Person on inquiry counter will make the changes on the system and write with hand on your ticket the new boarding point. Work is done. It is simple and does not cost anything.
Take care not to stand in the regular queue for reservations. If you stand there, your request will not be entertained. Change of Boarding Point is done at the inquiry counters only.
Have a nice day.

Escuela's teachers combine excellent training, strong academic qualifications and experience with warmth, openness, and a strong respect for children and their parents. Our lead teachers have their Montessori training through either the American Montessori Society (AMS) or the Association Montessori International (AMI).
Escuela Music Program
Cathy Suding is the director and creative energy behind Escuela's Primary and Elementary music programs. Ms. Cathy received her BM from Butler University and her MM from the University of Illinois. She came to the Escuela community in 2002 after 19 years teaching in International Schools in Belgium, Japan, Venezuela, and Poland. Her first experience with Montessori education was in Tokyo, where she taught music classes to her daughters and their classmates in a primary Montessori setting at a school headed by Spanish nuns with Montessori-trained teachers from Ireland. Like the international administration and faculty, the children were not only from the host country, Japan, but also from many other different countries. "From all of my experiences in international schools, both as a teacher and a mother, I found that there is a common thread connecting the children and music of our world. It is my lucky fate to be part of the spinning of this thread as I join the children of Escuela in their musical development."

Publication Acceptance Date: 2/28/1996
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Pharaoh ant Monomorium pharaonis (L.), nest are difficult to locate without causing damage to the structure. Buildings were constructed with modifications (hinged paneling and attic hatches) to allow observation of hidden nests. Large Pharaoh ant colonies ranging from 32,000 to 74,000 workers per colony were introduced into these buildings. Buildings were inspected every 2-4 weeks to determine the following: (1) the size and composition of satellite colonies, (2) Pharaoh ant nest sites indoor and outdoors, and (3) the effects of imported fire ants, on Pharaoh ant nest composition and location. Fire ants severely limited Pharaoh ant colonization and establishment in some of the buildings. The indoor presence of fire ants at food cups ranged from 9-72% of the observation days. On several occasions, fire ants caused the formation of small, ephemeral nests on the paneling facing the interior of the room. Fire ants decreased the biomass, brood, number of females, number of workers per colony, and the mean number of nest per building. Several Pharaoh ant nests were located in the soil under the slab of the buildings. Pharaoh ant colonies would persist outdoors until they encountered fire ants. Fire ants also caused nests to be located further from the food provided. Pharaoh ants will return to a previous nest site after a disturbance or they will occupy previously used nest sites. Fire ants also reduced the percentage of nest sites previously occupied.

Pirates Don't Seem Alive on Victorino
News and Rumors
Ken Rosenthal had the following tweet this morning about the Pittsburgh Pirates and Shane Victorino.
As Rosenthal notes, things could change between now and tomorrow's deadline. The news is a bit surprising, as we've heard the Pirates connected to Victorino a lot this summer. Of course, on the other side of those talks, Jeff Passan reports that the Phillies are more aggressive in dealing Hunter Pence than they are Victorino. The Phillies are looking to unload some salary next year, and by dealing Pence they'd be getting rid of $3.7 M this year, and upwards of $14 M next year. Victorino is a free agent following the season, so he would have zero impact on reducing next year's payroll....

Born on May 23, 1967 in New Orleans, Louisiana, Ronald "Slim" Williams earned his impressive wealth as the co-founder of the highly successful rap label, Cash Money Records. Ronald co-founded the label with his younger brother, Bryan "Birdman" Williams. The label, which launched in 1990, is the home of a number of successful rap artists, including Lil Wayne, Bow Wow, Drake, Nikki Minaj, Young Buck and many more. Outside of music, Cash Money Records has diversified to a clothing line called YMCMB (Young Money Cash Money Billionaires) and a line of liquor brand called GT Vodka.

He is credited as an executive producer on nearly every album that Cash Money puts out. In September 2012, Ronald made headlines when he purchased the largest home in South Florida for $7.15 million. Incredibly, he paid 100% cash for the property located within an ultra-exclusive Fort Lauderdale gated community.

'Nuff Respect!
Desert Crossings ventured to outdoor festival territory when we performed at the Respect Festival in Exeter earlier this month. We were lucky that there was no rain and the full audience in the tent was able to enjoy a great show.
It was a challenge taking the work out of its usual theatre space and into a low tech, daytime outdoor environment but the magic was not lost. The show performed to an entranced crowd, where you could literally hear a pin drop despite of the busy activity and sounds outside the tent. See other pictures from the performance here.
The dancers loved being so close to the audience and truly engaging first hand to a mainly non-dance family audience. More of this please! We thank Dance in Devon for working with us to make these valuable connections in the South West.

The biological activity of serum IgE changes over the course of a primary response
Mitchell, Andrew J., Moss, Nathan D., & Collins, Andrew M. (2002) The biological activity of serum IgE changes over the course of a primary response. Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, 55(1), pp. 33-43.
Mast-cell degranulation is triggered by the bridging of Fc receptor-bound antigen-specific immunoglobulin IgE on the cell surface. In vitro experiments suggest that antibody affinity and nonspecific IgE may affect the mast-cell function, however, their importance in vivo is unclear. Investigations of the effects of these parameters on mast-cell sensitization were therefore carried out in a rat immunization model in which the IgE response is transient and peaks on days 10-15. Between these two timepoints, significant changes in the level of specific IgE were not observed, but the avidity of specific IgE increased (P<0.05). Total serum IgE peaked on day 10 and slowly declined, with the relative proportion of specific to total IgE increasing from day 10-15 (P<0.05). Despite similar levels of antigen-specific IgE, increasing avidity and an increased proportion of specific IgE between days 10 and 15, the biological activity of IgE in the serum peaks on day 10 and declines rapidly, dropping around seven-fold by day 15 (P<0.001). Mechanisms that could explain this finding, such as differential expression of IgE isoforms and changes in the fine specificity of the IgE response, are discussed.

In advance, this might sound stupid. So, today I didn't find the exam too bad but obviously there was a load of time pressure, so my handwriting was pretty damn bad. Went back and rewrote badly written stuff in neat print, but ran out of time. Obviously I wrote at the start of the exam what some of the bad letters look like ( r like v for example), but I got told afterwards I might get marked down for that, anyone know anything about this??? Nasty news
if they can read what you wrote theyll mark you, if they cant read what u wrote then they cant mark you, but they cant grade your paper on presentation

INDIANAPOLIS - JULY 20: Shane Mosley exchanges jabs with Vernon Forrest during their WBC welterweight championship fight on July 20, 2002 at the Conseco Fieldhouse arena in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Brian Bahr/Getty Images)
FOX Deportes Boxing Classics is back on Sunday, September 23, with two fights featuring four of this era's premier superstars. In the main event, fight fans will see 2000's epic 12 round battle for the WBC Welterweight World Title between "The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya and Sugar Shane Mosley and in the co-feature, we travel back to 2007 when Floyd "Money" Mayweather defended his WBC and Ring Magazine World Championships against Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton in another spectacular welterweight championship fight. The doubleheader will air on FOX Deportes beginning at 6:00 p.m. ET/3:00 p.m. PT. On June 17, 2000 fans wondered whether jumping from lightweight to a welterweight title fight with Oscar De La Hoya after just two fights at 147 pounds was too big of a leap for former 135-pound champion Sugar Shane Mosley. After a tightly-contested and dramatic battle in front of their hometown fans at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, the unbeaten Mosley shocked the world and claimed ...
