Fukushima, Japan (AFP) Aug 8, 2011
UN chief Ban Ki-moon will visit the Fukushima nuclear disaster zone Monday, becoming one of the most senior foreign leaders to go near the crippled atomic power plant in Japan's northeast.
The United Nations secretary-general is scheduled to stand on tsunami-ravaged Haragama beach in Soma city, 40 kilometres (25 miles) north of the Fukushima Daiichi plant, which continues to spew radioactive material.
A 20-kilometre exclusion zone around the battered facility prevents him going much nearer after a magnitude-9.0 earthquake and tsunami on March 11 triggered the catastrophe.
Ban, who arrived in Japan Sunday, will also speak to high school students and visit a shelter to meet some of the 85,000 people who have been evacuated after what has become the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl 25 years ago.
Five months on from the disaster, the Japanese government and operator Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) are struggling to stabilise three reactors at the power plant that have melted down.
The government wants to bring the overheating reactors to stable "cold shutdown" by January.
But lethal hotspots were detected inside the crippled plant last week with radiation so high that it may risk preventing emergency workers from making progress in the effort to control the crisis.
TEPCO has also faced a series of technical glitches with a system to decontaminate radioactive runoff water used to cool the reactors.
Later in the day, Ban will travel to Tokyo to meet Prime Minister Naoto Kan and Foreign Minister Takeaki Matsumoto.
Ban, who has convened a nuclear safety summit for the UN General Assembly in New York in September, is expected to reinforce his calls for tougher international standards.
The UN chief is also expected to request Japan's Self-Defence Forces be dispatched for a peacekeeping operation in South Sudan.
Ban came to Japan as part of an Asian tour which will also take him to his native South Korea on Tuesday to launch a UN youth conference, the Global Model United Nations, in Incheon.
He will also address an academic forum in Seoul and meet President Lee Myung-Bak and Foreign Minister Kim Sung-Hwan during his five-day stay there.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 9.0988 Tuesday, 13 October 1998.
Date: Monday, 12 Oct 1998 12:04:40 -0400 (EDT)
Subject: Lear on PBS
Bruited as "the Lear of the century", last night's television production
was at best adequate. I found Ian Holm's performance quite limited.
Not as dull as Michael Hordern's but with nothing of Scofield's
complexity. Even Olivier's exhausted effort had more in it.
Holm registered two emotions: petulance and rage. I would appreciate
hearing from people who saw the stage production. Holm's redaing
reminded me of Hal Holbrook's. Holbrook also emphasized Lear's
senescence, but also had a frightening aspect to his rage. Holm seemed
dim somehow since his raging ahd almost no vocal range. He screamed and
Only at the very last moment did he impart anything challenging-a look
of peace just before he collapsed.
The supporting cast was good, but not one performance was remarkable.
it was momentarily interesting to observe the physical resemblance
between Lear and the Fool, but there was nothing else to think about in
their relationship.
On the whole, a decent production but wildly over-hyped by PBS.

a not too serious consideration
Quaich or Quake?
If you google Quaich you will frequently find is stated that it is pronounced "quake". Now I have always found this to be curious. Growing up in scotland I have never heard it pronounced in this manner except by other nationalities. Recently an english friend told me that she used to pronounce it with the soft "ch" until a linguist told her that it should have a hard "k"! This got me wondering, are us natives pronouncing it wrong? Anyway, I thought about it for a while and I now have a theory.
Some point to ponder:
1. I have noticed that that people from some parts of england seem unable to pronounce words with a glottal stop. You can hear this when they struggle with certain Germanic words like "Freibourg" or Hispanic - "Juan" or indeed the classic scots "loch".
2. There is a long tradition of mistranslation of scots words by english speaking authors. Scotlands only Lake is an example. Laigh (meaning low) seems to have been recorded as "lake". The author assuming that it was a quirk of dialect rather than a word with a distinct and different meaning. This resulted in the creation of Lake Menteith.
3. The spelling of quaich has evolved over time. It seems to be an anglification of the gaelic cuach, which itself seems seems to be dervived from the latin caucus. In Murrays 1914 "New English Dictionary on Historical Principals" quaich includes the following alternative spellings - quaigh, quech, quegh, queich and quoich. These all appear to me to be attempts at spelling a word that people know how to say, but not spell.
4. Other words with similar endings. I can't think of any scots word ending in ch or gh preceded by a vowel that ends with a hard "K". Weech, Keech, loch, broch, and laigh, all end with a soft "ch". A browse through the dialect dictionary will also show that ch and gh or often used in alternative spellings.
5. Quake or Quaike is is used in scots dialect to refer to a hiefer (didn't know that myself) or as in "quakin bog" a raised marsh.
6. is it ock eye, or och aye?
7. at a ceilidh do you hooch (as in illegal spirit), hook (as in captain), or heugh? (an another word with no english equivalent)
My own conclusion is that given that the gaelic "ch" is pronounced as in loch and that "gh" has no equivalent in english it is likely that the "quake" or "qwak" is an attempt to reproduce a vocal sound that has no equivalent in english.
Us poor scots never having had to look up how to pronounce the word, didn't realise that all the visitors were trying to pronounce it the way they read it should be said.
As for web sites you should remember that most web pages about quaichs are all copied from each other, and so they tend to peddle the same myths.
After all if you read it on Wikipedia it must be true ;-)

More and more Australians are turning to life coaches to help them get through the day and give meaning to their busy lives. Peter Ellingsen looks at the ups and downs of an industry on the move.
Her consulting room has no couch, just a table and chairs. It is what you would expect from a life coach. No Freudian overtones, just a focused young woman with a high-wattage smile. Rachael Pickworth is 30, and already has 10 clients who pay her more than
$120 an hour to listen and lead the way to fulfilling their dreams.
It is a job she loves, and in her sporty, gunmetal grey slacks, she possesses the kind of optimism that makes you feel anything is possible.
Seven years ago, life coaching had half-a-dozen practitioners in Australia. Now it has about 1500, and is expected to hit 4000 by 2005. It has gone from being a marginal curiosity to a mainstream industry, turning over millions of dollars and influencing the most prestigious boardrooms in the country, along with thousands of punters who feel life could be more fulfilling.
Coaches do everything from bolstering corporate high-flyers for upwards of $500 an hour, to hearing how a marriage has gone belly-up, or why a public servant wants a change after two decades in the one job. (The fee for personal, or individual coaching ranges from $70 to $250 or more per hour).
True to the corporate ethos of this era, coaching is unashamedly
upbeat. It treats life like a business, and is quick. It also makes you feel
good. But then, so does fast food.
These days, life coaching is a hot-ticket, but despite the buzz and bouncy testimonials, few can agree on precisely what it is, how it works, or what the downside could be.
Like most coaches, Pickworth says what she does is not therapy or counselling. These are for people with "problems" who want to go into the past.
"Coaching is about where you are now, where you want to be and moving you forward," she says.
Pickworth got into coaching after an adolescence in "personal development". Her 21st birthday present was a $4000, 16-day, 6am to 2am, rah-rah intensive with Robert (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) Kiyosaki, in Hawaii. She toyed with the ideas of Tony (Awaken the Giant Within) Robbins and a pile of other can-do American gurus before setting up a gift business and making the finals of Telstra's 1999 Small Business Awards.
But she finally found what she was looking for in a three-month, part-time course with Sydney-based Results Coaching. The course, done face-to-face and over the phone, cost $3695. She now charges up to $2000 for 12, one-hour sessions for individuals, and up to $3500 for business executives.
School vice-principal Kath Kenny says the $1500 she paid Pickworth for 12 sessions was worth it. A single, middle-aged woman, Kenny felt that she was "not moving forward", and wanted someone to help her focus on her goals and meet them.
�"I felt having someone to talk to, to focus just on me, overcame me not focusing," she says.
�She says she possibly could have done it herself, but, as with a personal trainer, it was easier to have another person egging her on. Pickworth listened, provided feedback, and gave her books to read, including Succulent, Wild Woman — a feel-good primer by Sark, an American woman who first worked as a wake-up fairy in a US kindergarten.
Kenny's three goals were to study, plan her finances and "self-actualise". As you might expect from someone holding down a senior job, she pretty quickly nailed the first two. It was the third — which touches on the sense something is missing — that was more elusive.
This goal can fall into the "What's it all mean, why am I here?" box, which historically has been the province of philosophy, psychology or religion — or as some prefer, spirituality.
For Kenny it involved a range of tasks. Some, such as "going to plays and cultural things" she was happy to talk about publicly, others she preferred to keep private.
"It's like having a mentor, but it goes beyond that," she says. "There is a similarity with counselling. Someone listens to you. The past did come up."
Some coaches embrace the spiritual or holistic tag, but most prefer words with a corporate flavour, such as "professional" or "personal development".
However, it can be a matter of semantics. A bible of the business motivational world is The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, by American Stephen Covey, whose advice — "Be Proactive", "Think Win/Win", "Synergise" — draws on his Mormon faith.
Covey-style coaching is well established in the business world. For example, Bernard Cronin, executive director of the Australian Institute of Management, says CEOs — who, he says, now last just three or four years in the job due to performance pressure — need all the help they can get.
While some large companies now have coaches on staff, others go to AIM, which maintains a list of recommended coaches who charge upwards of $500 an hour.
Saying what it is exactly that coaches do is tricky. Marian Durrands, whose Life Coaching Academy charges $4950 for 440 hours of training, says it has a lot to do with confidence. "Most people don't need fixing," she says. "They just get lost and need help to step out on their own."
Durrands, who has a "mind, body, spirit" focus, gets bored with the usual goal-directed coaching. "You can bring business and spirituality together," she says.
She does not accept "emotionally needy" trainees and says the industry has attracted some dodgy operators.
Michele Marsh from Brisbane's Health and Harmony College agrees. "There are shonks out there," she says. "The potential to do wrong is enormous."
Pickworth, who is similarly concerned with ethical standards, emphasises ways of� "ensuring your day-to-day life is aligned with your purpose, goals and passions".
She says she does not give advice. Her coaching training taught her to ask questions, not answer them.
"It is about trusting the client has the answer within them," she says.
The transaction is well known to therapists, who understand the power of listening and the way a person's trust in a listener creates a basis for them to see their own habitual action and change it.
Clinical studies show that the development of this "therapeutic alliance" is the most reliable sign of improvement in people with emotional or mental problems.
But coaching — which links itself to sport and its physical training, not therapy and its emotional excavation — steers clear of what therapists call transference, the way in which feelings of trust, even love, develop for an admired or authority figure. Most coaches distance themselves from psychology, insisting that what they do is set goals and help clients achieve them.
But many of the tools they use are drawn from psychotherapy. While it has some human relations and New Age roots, coaching appears to be a bastard child of the behavioural sciences and disciplines such as action learning, assertiveness training and cognitive behavioural therapy.
But, while these techniques require extensive tertiary education, anyone can call themselves a coach, and most coaches who claim to be qualified have done a three or six-month course that has no academic standing. Ray Elliott, an organisational psychologist, says there is a psychological aspect to coaching, and untrained coaches can trigger problems.
"Goal-orientated coaching is not always appropriate," he says. "If someone's facing burn-out, being challenged by a coach can bring it on."
Elliott says coaches should have peer supervision, as happens with psychologists. He also believes the short training period for coaches is "dubious".
Dr Tony Grant, who heads Australia's only university coaching psychology unit agrees, and says the type of training offered is a problem.
"Most frequently, commercial coaching colleges are superficial and lightweight," he says. "Their credentials have very little credibility. Show me a three to six month course that makes you an expert in human change, and I'll join."
Grant says studies done by Sydney University show that between 25 and 55 per cent of life coaching clients have clinically significant psychological problems, and should be seeing a psychologist or a properly trained counsellor.
"You don't have to be a psychologist to be a coach, but it's vital to be well educated in mental health."
Grant, a coaching psychologist who teaches coaching at Sydney university, says it is "fantastic" when done well. But, he says, "there's is a lot of hype out there".
David Rock, founder of Results Coaching, acknowledges there are challenges for coaches working with executives and others, but says they can be managed.
"You have to be very clear and up-front in the agreement you have with clients," he says. "Coaching is for well people doing well but could do even better. It's a working partnership."
Rock, along with Ross Gillespie's Coachcorp in Melbourne, is linked with the International Coaching Federation. Gillespie, 55, who has a long history in HR and consulting, coaches some of the country's leading executives. He will not take clients if they are interested only in work issues, believing it is at the "intersection" of work and private lives where change occurs.
CoachCorp charges $2780 for its 16-week training course. More than 1000 people — generally between the ages of 35 to 65 — have done it, including some former CEOs and general managers who are retiring and looking for part-time work.
A psychiatrist who took the course found it did empower clients. He says life coaching is built around different "need categories", seen as markets into which graduates sell their coaching.
"The danger, if one can so call this, is overstepping … into some form of guru status," the psychiatrist, who did not want to be named, says.
Dr Steven Berglas, a management consultant and executive coach who spent 25 years with Harvard Medical School's department of psychiatry, sees greater risks. Because their model is sport, many coaches promise simple answers and quick results, he says. This, and their lack of training in psychology, means they can downplay or ignore deep-seated problems.
"The idea that an executive coach can help employees improve performance quickly is a great selling point to CEOs who put the bottom line first," he says. "That approach tends to gloss over any unconscious conflict the employee might have. This can cause disastrous consequences for the company … and exacerbate the damage to the person …"
It is not a risk that Mary Gilmartin has encountered. Since paying CoachCorp nearly $3000 for training, and a Results coach $1500 for personal coaching, she has her own, as yet untroubled, coaching business.
She got into coaching after her 15-year marriage collapsed and she lost interest in her Catholic religion and her job as a tax specialist. Although Gilmartin, 46, had a supportive family and a university education, she felt life lacked something.
A self-help book told her to write down the things she had not done, but wanted to do. It was a long list and included learning French, riding in a helicopter and fixing her house. Scores of books with titles such as Wishcraft: How to Get What You Really Want followed, but it was coaching that offered her a new career.
Gilmartin says there is a huge need for "self development" that psychology has ignored and coaching is now meeting.
"It's about helping a person find balance and take control," she says. "I ask them what they're passionate about. It can seem like smoke and mirrors, but so can counselling or psychotherapy."
Monash University sociology professor Gary Bouma thinks the coaching craze is a measure of how isolated we are, and the way in which religion has become DIY.
"Instead of going to church, we now pay for someone to buzz us up," he says. "Anything that goes to purpose or destiny, goes to religion. If you are under 50, you don't know what the inside of a church looks like. So, we have coaching."

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. escaped with a highly controversial decision victory over Bryan Vera on Saturday night. While he was the recipient of three favorable scorecards, including one that had him winning eight rounds of 10 in the fight, it seemed clear to most that Vera had done enough to earn the win. Right here, we have a collection of Chavez Jr. vs. Vera fight night photos, post-fight videos with the fighters addressing the media during the press conferences, and more. Take a look. Now, guess which of the above photos were shared by Top Rank, and which came from HBO? The Top Rank photos show only Chavez Jr. landing punches. Of course, Vera landed two times as many shots as Chavez did, and he has the battered face which shows the proof of that. According to Chavez, he also fractured a hand during the fight. Sounds like another excuse in a long line of them. You gotta feel bad for Vera here, who put up with so much in order to keep this fight from being squashed due t...

Oh, how true it is!
I have been told, many times by my husband, when I set a goal for myself (i.e. workout) there is always a barrier of distractions which arise and block my path. Now this doesn't happen to household tasks, when it comes to the kids and their schoolwork, or even when it comes to my creative time (which this one may be a distraction, still deciding).
This little saying came to mind last night as I was writing down a list of priorities for the 20th time. There must be one in every corner of the house at this point. Each time the same things are added, not sure why I keep writing unless it tricks my mind into believe I am working on them, right?
I am sitting here this morning, holding myself back from writing the list for the 21st time and realizing something important. If I don't clear the mental clutter, and sometimes physical, from my space I cannot see what is truly possible. Being the best in creating a distraction keeps that path blocked with a big ol' DETOUR sign in my way. I will never get anywhere and one day I'll be sitting on the couch writing the list for the 500th time. Goodness, I hope that isn't the case!
No guarantee that their won't be distractions today; however, we are going to try and clear the way for some baby steps.

|Tuition rates to remain unchanged at SSHEC, PJC
|PJC Information Services
Aug. 4, 2005 -- While many colleges and universities in Texas are increasing tuition for the upcoming fall semester, the cost per credit hour at Paris Junior College will remain unchanged.
"The administration and board of regents felt it was important not to increase tuition this year," said PJC President Dr. Pamela Anglin. "It is vital for us to keep costs at a level where all people can afford to attend college."
Since the Legislature gave universities the authority two years ago to set their own tuition rates, education costs have steadily increased. Community and junior colleges, however, remain affordable, Anglin said.
No tuition increase this year places PJC below the state average in both in-district and out-of-district tuition rates. Students living in-district will pay $35 per credit hour, and out-of- district students will pay $57 per credit hour.
Compared to universities, PJC's tuition and fees are less than half, according to a recent survey.
Based on enrolling in 15 credit hours, students will pay $1,917 in tuition and fees at Texas A&M University-Commerce, while at PJC campuses in Sulphur Springs, Paris and Greenville, the cost for the same number of credit hours will be $645 for in-district students and $975 for out-of-district students.
"We are pleased that we can keep our cost below the state average and within the economic means of our students," Anglin said.
Paris Junior College enrolled more than 4,200 students in the fall of 2004 at its three campuses. Officials hope to match or exceed that number this fall. Students have been enrolling all summer on the PJC Web site at www.parisjc.edu.
PJC-Sulphur Springs Higher Education Center is offering an even longer list of academic programs that make it a perfect place to earn an associate degree in preparation for university transfer. Strong technical and vocation programs on the schedule this year will prepare students for better job opportunities, according to Director Dr. Linda Bennett. On-campus enrollment will be conducted in the Sulphur Springs Center on Aug. 18 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Registration will continue through Aug. 25 during regular school hours.

April 2012 – Ngorongoro and Ndutu
Please click on any image for an larger version and a slideshow
This years rains had been erratic to say the least. The poor wildebeest had been migrating backwards and forwards since the first rains of November. This puts added stress on them, remember that they want to give birth in early February. Each time it rained on the Serengeti Plains they would dash out of the woodlands sometime covering 75 kilometer in 2 days or so. Then the rains stopped and back they came. When I landed at Ndutu on my way to Katavi in late January it was dusty and dry. Safari goers were disappointed not to see the main migration. Under these conditions many less wildebeest calves would survive. April is usually wet, this year the rain didn't really get going until well into April. As I sit and write these notes in mid May I'm happy to report that the rains are continuing and things are improving! Long may it fall. Usually by Mid May it has stopped.
Our safari with 9 English guests was a full on 7 days around The Ngorongoro highlands and the Plains of The Serengeti. Ethan Kinsey joined me to guide in conditions that could have been in January not April, some areas were green whilst others were quite dry.
Thankfully as we arrived in the highlands huge storm clouds could be seen to our north West. After a full and wonderful day in the crater seeing 9 rhino with hardly any other cars we drove in the morning light via Endulen and out onto the plains of Southern Ndutu. This route is special and with flowering plants along the roadside our bird species count improved.
Once on the plains and exploring we soon found good numbers of wildebeest but many more way south of the woodlands and along the Maswa Game Reserve boundary. Rain had just come again to these plains so it took a couple of days before the big herds arrived. Lions and cheetah were happier as were we all. Wonderful wildlife encounters followed and as our group was into birds as much as ma04als everyone was having fun.
The Ndutu lions are fascinating and gave us hours of quality viewing. They were very active and with inter pride classes and a kill event we felt entranced. For some of our guests this was the 3rd safari in April. Each one has been completely different. Once again seek advice on where to go in April but do not discount it just because the safari travel agents and others say it is not the best time to come!
Having been quite busy since November 2011 I am now looking forward to some down time to catch up and rest a little. I plan a coastal trip and perhaps a safari to The Australian outback! Best wishes Paul.

To achieve the Advanced Wireless LAN Specialization, Cisco requires the partner to fulfill each defined job role: Account Manager, Systems Engineer, and Field Engineer.
Role sharing allows a single individual to fulfill similar roles across 2 or more specializations, based upon the specialization and the role. Cisco has reduced the number of unique individuals required across Express, Advanced, and Master Specializations, however, the total number of individuals required to achieve each certification level remains unchanged. A single qualified individual may fill only the AM role in up to a total of 4 specializations. A single qualified individual may fill only the SE role in up to a total of 2 specializations. A single qualified individual may fill only the FE role in up to a total of 2 specializations. Individuals may not cross-populate between the AM, SE and FE roles. SMB, CRM Express and VPN-Firewall specializations are not limited by the above allocation rules.
Technology continues to evolve and therefore, Cisco specialization requirements are subject to change. Please refer to this site often to ensure that you meet all program requirements before you submit your specialization application.
View the Return on Investment for this specialization.
Refer to the Specialization Role Requirements Comparison Chart to view how exams relate to each Cisco specialization and roles.
Cisco Advanced Wireless LAN Specialization Requirements:
Note: Partners can hold only one specialization in a given technology. For example:
Note: If a partner does not remain in compliance with the applicable specialization or certification requirements, Cisco reserves the right to revoke the specialization or certification. Partners must notify Cisco of its non-compliance promptly, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after partner first becomes aware of its non-compliance. Upon receipt of such notice, partner may qualify for an extension of time in which to renew its compliance with the applicable specialization or certification requirements. Partner's failure to provide such notice may disqualify partner from receiving such an extension. If no extension is granted or if partner fails to comply with the certification or specialization requirements by the end of the extension period, Cisco reserves the right to revoke the applicable specialization or certification immediately. Additional information regarding non-compliance may be found in the Audit and Policies Document.

John McMahon is urging Tranmere fans to come to Prenton Park to back the team in Saturday's home game against Shrewsbury Town.
Rovers and the Shrews are separated by just two points ahead of the fixture and McMahon wants to make the most of home advantage.
He said "They're a strong side. We found it tough going to their place earlier in the season.
"They're organised and physical and their goals against record is very good.
"It's a must win game for both sides.
"It's about trying to win every game now.
"Being at home is a bonus. I'd encourage as many fans to get down as possible - it's a cup final.
"The fans can really help, if they can bring a couple of their friends to increase the volume and increase the numbers at the game and really push us and get behind the players."
Meanwhile, McMahon says he has injury doubts over three of his midfielders.
"Koumas and Jennings will go to the wire," he added. "It's difficult to say if they'll play or not. Jake Kirby is really struggling, he got a knock similar to Jason Koumas in the reserves on Tuesday, so he's very doubtful."

CORVALLIS, Ore. • Jordan Poyer had three interceptions, Sean Mannion passed for 270 yards and No. 14 Oregon State survived a shaky start with a 19-6 win over Washington State on Saturday.
Markus Wheaton had 95 yards receiving and a touchdown, but it was the Beavers defense that kept the Cougars at arm's length on the day when Mannion, who threw three interceptions, was more down than up.
Oregon State (4-0, 3-0 Pac-12) has surpassed its win total from all of 2011, but many in the school-record crowd of 46,579 were left shaking their heads at penalties and turnovers as the offense sputtered. Mannion completed 25 of 42 passes and was sacked three times.
The Beavers are 4-0 for the first time since 2002.
Jeff Tuel was 11 of 17 for 126 yards after replacing Connor Halliday, who threw three interceptions in just more than one half of action. However, Tuel's telegraphed pass that led to Poyer's interception ended the threat for Washington State. Marquess Wilson had four catches for 54 yards to lead the Cougars (2-4, 0-3). Halliday was 9 of 20 passing.

Cycling superstar Cadel Evans has withdrawn from the Wednesday's Olympic time trial, citing fatigue after a heavy schedule that included the recent Tour De France and, six days later, last Saturday's Olympic men's road race.
The decision was made early Sunday evening London-time after Evans underwent a medical check, including blood tests, to gauge his recovery from the 250 kilometre road race the previous day.
Evans was examined by cycling team doctor Dr Mark Fisher and Olympic Team Medical Director Dr Peter Baquie. Australian team sports director Matt While said the decision for Evans to pull out of the time trial was "100 per cent mutual" and was due to "inadequate recovery and fatigue".
There will now only be one Australian representative in the men's event, Michael Rogers. Selection rules state a replacement must from one of Australia's five-man road team, but none have real time trial acumen and, in case of Matthew Goss, have already left London.
Evans' manager Jason Bakker told The Australian Financial Review that Evans was extremely fatigued after his heavy recent schedule.
"It was a pretty big ask for him to ride the Tour and then arrive in London to do the road race and then only days later take part in the time trial," Bakker said. "I know there are some guys on the circuit that can do it, but I don't know many 35-year-olds that are able to."
Bakker said there had been fears that Evans has suffered an infection similar to the sinus infection that plagued his preparations for the defence of his Tour de France title, which was eventually won by Briton Bradley Wiggins.
"They did some tests and initially they were worried there was some sort of latent infection related to what he had earlier this year, but he's okay. He's just very fatigued."

text: Hi Kriss, Thank you for answering my email. I went to the #kde-freebsd channel to discuss this issue. I had an interesting discussion with one of the kde developper (involved in the Ark development). And here is what he told me (hope he don't mind me quoting him): [quote] there are two things involved here: 1) python support for plasma in kdebase needs kdebindings for pykde4; IIRC there was some sort of circular dependency in which kdebindings required kdelibs and kdebase (I'm not sure if this is still the case), so you might need to end up building kdebase twice 2) python support for kdebase is explicitly disabled in kdebase4-workspace's Makefile (no idea why) [/quote] So to fix this issue, one need to edit the x11/kdebase4-workspace port's makefile and remove the line saying -DWITH_PyKDE4:BOOL=OFF from CMAKE_ARGS. I tried to do that myself as I have the FreeBSD port installed, but it failed: [quote] CMake Error at /usr/local/kde4/share/apps/cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake:1192 (message): ERROR: the installed kdelibs version 4.3.4 is too old, at least version 4.3.5 is required [/quote] Since I'm using the PCBSD box on daily basis for my work, I don't want to go and rebuild everything, particularly if 4.3.5 is shipped with PCBSD 8.0 Release. My question is do you think we might expect to have the issue fixed along with this release? Best regards, Gregoire.

I'll be completely honest, I'd always avoided Kobra and the Lotus because I got the feeling that they were just another modern band along the same lines as Avenged Sevenfold. Well, they're not. And actually, they're quite good. So I'm very sorry for mislabeling you guys, but I finally decided that I needed some kind of evidence to condemn you and found that there wasn't any. Thank god for that.
The main thing that will draw comparisons to Avenged Sevenfold are the blazing guitars, because admittedly there is a very high degree of skill required to play what those guys do, as there is here. The difference though is that this stuff sounds appealing while anything by A7X is just... not. Charlie Parra del Riego and Jasio Kulakowski really know how to churn out the epic hooks by the dozen, and that guarantees that there isn't a dull moment across the entire album. At the same time though they keep things heavy and to some extent thrash-like with some solid rhythm sections. These guys are the real deal. The drumming is also of a high standard, and even if it is simplistic it still provides entertainment. It's consistent at least and provides a decent level of support for the heavy metal coming from the guitars.
The vocals are an odd thing to comment on. In some respects I like them, but in others I don't. For a heavy metal album they fit very well, clean without ever going full-blown operatic. But then when you think of it like that, wouldn't you rather they did something other than the normal and throw a bit of a curve-ball into the mix? And then the question as to whether that'd actually work or not comes into play, because I'm unsure if the music would still fit together correctly if Helena Michaelsen was singing for the band. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that with a vocalist like Kobra Paige the band seems to have played it safe, which results in nothing really spectacular but also guarantees that their formula won't completely backfire and fail. She can sing well (even if it does sound a little forced), but obviously no one's ever going to touch Dio's reputation as being the best singer in the genre.
It's difficult to pick out favourite songs on this self-titled album, but Sanctuary is worth a mention, as is Heaven's Veins. Actually, so are most of the tracks, from the opener 50 Shades of Evil to the last song Aria of Karmika there really isn't an awful lot of filler. Everything seems to merit its inclusion in the album, and I'm fairly impressed by what they've got to offer. Even though each song has its similarities to the one before it, it also has its own personality.
I guess this is an attempt for someone to teach me that you don't just judge something based on the impression that they give you, because I'm very impressed with this. Not that I'll ever learn, but Kobra and the Lotus should be commended for their efforts here.
I had heard about this band, but never actually sat down and gave them a good listen, in fact, their first official release went by without me even giving them a chance at all. Upon a wild recommendation from a friend, it was time for me to actually sit down and listen to their second album a good listen.
The first thing I will say is that the instrumentation on this album is fantastic. Guitarist Charlie clearly knows what he's doing, the drumming is fantastic, and the bass supports the album well. The main draw for this band is, of course, the singer. Kobra Paige is a singer that many claim is what happens when Bruce Dickinson meets Ronnie James Dio. I could see this if you took out a little bit of the range. To be sure, she is a talented singer but not of the caliber of Veronica Freeman or Nina Osegueda. In spite of my comparison to other contemporary female singers, Paige definitely has her own style and power and it's one that's surprisingly easy to get acclimated to.
The songs here are much more rock-worthy and fist-pumping than found on Out of the Pit. Songs like "Forever One" and "Nayana" are songs that you'll find yourself remembering if you were to say to yourself "What was I listening to in 2013?". The songs almost blend together, until you hit "Sanctuary" which has a gorgeous piano lead and an incredibly emotional slow riff that will leave you wanting more. "Welcome To My Funeral" is one of the more furious songs on the album, with the main hook pulling you in and the singing reminding you that this is a band worthy of your attention.
The good far outweighs the bad on this album. The riffs, guitar work, bass, and drumming on this album are very crisp, clean and powerful, especially on songs like "No Rest For The Wicked" and "50 Shades of Evil" where you know the musicians are experts at what they do. Clearly, the style does not need any adjustment, but they almost feel too comfortable for the band. You will spend 42 minutes hoping that they'll break out of their comfort zone and take the intensity to the next level. In fact, that's probably the only complaint I really have, is that if everything on this album was about 25% more intense (not to be confused with louder), the album would be spoken with the same reverence as one of Iron Maiden's earlier works. Intensity works for a band like Sister Sin, and it will work for KatL.
This album by itself may not be an instant classic, but it is at the point in a band's career where they are starting to gel and I expect that what's coming next is going to be nothing short of incredible. You can sense that if they keep at it and work out their kinks, this band will bust out and be great within a couple of years. Keep an eye on this band, because they will be a big name if they just fine tune their skills a little more. The Kobra's sting is not a lethal one, but the best is yet to come for them...

Animated Neon Glass Signage
SuperImaging's MediaGlassTM system projects messaging onto windows and other clear surfaces. Most store window advertising involves hanging posters or affixing display materials to windows, involving significant expense. MediaGlass doesn't require posters to be printed or LCD screens to be installed; be just putting our completely clear film on the glass, the glass itself becomes the media. Also with MediaGlass, the display can be changed in moments, reducing cost and allowing for more frequent changes to messaging. More significantly, MediaGlassTM allows you to keep the windows clear and inviting, so customers can see the mechandise in the store. Not only does this reduce ongoing costs, it improves visual merchandising and the customer experience, bolstering the brand image and generating more business.
MediaGlass consists of a laser projector and a special transparent film that is applied to any window. No special window or glass is required; the film does all the work of converting the projected light into visible light through the magic of nanotechnology. The lightweight projector is installed on the ceiling or floor and makes images over 84" wide on the window. Looking like bright moving neon, so they are clearly visible from almost 360°, from both outside the store and inside.
Two projectors are available, one laser projector which makes special line art holograms that appear to float in mid air around the glass, and a full video version which projects images via a VGA cable from your computer onto the glass.
With people reputedly being exposed to up to 3,000-4,000 messages per person per day, only the unique messages really make an impression on the consumer. Cognitive science tells us that the level of effectiveness of the message is related to the level of consumer engagement with the message. Our 3D holograms and video on clear glass are unique, and make your message the most memorable. This provides tremendous benefits to retail establishments and the brands it represents:

M54B25 7500 RPM limit
Is it safe, what do you think? Not to rev up to 7500 every day and stay in 7000 RPM for a long time, but for some situations when you must upshift later ;)
I heared a point of view from bmw tuners that it's safety on stock cams but useless unless you go to higher degree cams and I wanna to install them from B30 with instake manifold, DISA and throttle body later.
P.S. I read that something may be wrong with oil pump at high revs? If this so serious problem and can't be solved myself without special parts I'm thinking about VAC - M52tu/M54tu Oil Pump Upgrade Kit.
Since you're too lazy to search.
+1, Unless your going to be doing a lot head work to improve flow there really isn't a point in revving that high. The power drops off pretty quickly.
When I would like to do a small drag race higher RPMs is preferable because I will be with every upshift in higher power band.
What about compromise - 7200 RPM?
Also with 7000 RPM rev limiter do I need ATI damper & upgrade oil pump? It's important to know at what RPMs oil pump failure happens.
Thank you for the info, you're great guy, I read your posts and dyno graphs are awesome! :)
But what about shricks that installed at stock head and they make 7400-7500 RPM rev limit?
So you guys adviced me to do 7000 RPM, this is the best variant for high power output and high safety of engine?
more searching and found that my 2.5L is free from harmonics, so I don't need ATI dampers and probably don't have problem with oil pump failure
also it's a question about oil pump failure in my case, I have later production 2004 year of 525i when it may be was fixed
so I'm thinking about 7200 RPM limit now :)
You also need different cams for FI. Actually for the TS3 you should get the cams from from ESS.
And upgrading your oil pump is also a smart idea. I would highly recommend it with all the mods you plan to do. Read through this thread. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...&highlight=opn
This is not true or accurate, please research things before you post them as factual.
If you really want to Rev to 7500 RPM, or at least pretty close you'll need a solid lifter valve train (expensive). Not to mention a "tune" that will allow it.
There's a wealth of excellent resources on the forum concerning your question, please take 3 to 6 hours of your time and read everything you find.
Good luck.
Your answer on the other hand is so very helpful to the OP. Maybe instead of just bashing me for trying to help someone you can actually give the OP the correct answer.
S54 swap and call it a day
Its a combination of the s52 crank used in the b30 and a couple of other things.
To the op. If you want to rev that high you're going to need more than 240 244 cams start looking at about 264 252 or even 272 264. They will put more power up top of rpm band and make the 7500 rpm redline more beneficial to you. As it is right now your motor will pretty much fall flat on its face at about 6k rpm although a 7k rpm redline will put you into the meatier part of your powerband when you shift. Hence why it is common to see 7k on slightly modded motors.
Also it is important to know that your hydralic lifter cannot safely handle 7500rpm as valve float begins around 7300 to 7500 on these motors hence my original answer of no.
You will need to rebuild your top to handle and make power at this increased rpm range, and although the b25 doesn't suffer the harmonics of the b30 it is still very advisable to put an ati super damper on if you will be revving to 7.5k your motor will thank you for it.

It's a combination of the crank and probably the aluminum block the M series motor is made out of. This is unlike the S54 which is iron AND reinforced. (The S52 is iron as well, and can see more revs before it sees the same failures.) Of course, that is MY hypothesis.
The major issue on this car is the head, which really doesn't flow that well, (The N series motors are worse, and fall flat on their face after 5500rpm) and then there are dinky cams which don't help matters. If you really want to be a high rev hero, you need to address those weakness first and then look at ways to make the car reliable. I've heard of OPN failures on the M52 block with the smaller displacement motors (rare) and also have heard of valvespring/retainer issues. Hydraulic lifters aren't really a problem from what I've seen.
Spot on.
I think if you want more revs with the M54 you should just get some Shrick 264/248 with a custom tune. Else you will spend quite a bit of money trying to get high revs reliably out of the M54 platform. You should just swap in a S54 motor if you want high rev and reliability
Thanks to all for answers! I decided to go with 7200 RPM limit as I read **** happens at 7300-7400 and higher.
About 240 intake cam - if I can find somebody in EU or Eastern Asia who can regrind it to 260 degree (so my combo will be 260/244) it would make me happy, but as I understand it will be not compatible with FI for example ESS TS2.
P.S. VAC - M52tu/M54tu Oil Pump Upgrade Kit seems not working as I noticed at forum
260/244 is not great for f/i you'e going to want more exhaust than intake, but fi tuning is another game entirely from what I know.
260 intake with only 248 exhaust would make power but you'd be better off going with the schricks (or regrind a copy of them) so 264/248 or even better 264/252.
Glad to see you did a little bit more homework about it.

[Plugin: Hide Widget Title] Can still see widget titles
I've just installed your plugin and set a couple of widget titles to be hidden from public view but I can still see them.
I've cleared the cache and tried it on the latest versions of Chrome and FF.
Plugin Author Adam W. Warner
Thanks for reporting this. Just a couple days ago we've discovered that there is an issue depending on how your theme writes the widget title html AND what header tag it is using (h3, h4, h5) etc.
The plugin currently only hides the h3 tag and I have a fix ready to submit to the plugin repository that will include the hiding of all header tag sizes…however, in testing, there is still the issue in how different themes write the html/css for the widgettitle and I'm hoping to include that in the update as well.
If I don't get a solution for that within a few days, I'll submit the other update on it's own.
Can you link to your site so I can check your header tag size?Alvin
Hi awarner20 , i was just about to email you but glad i google'd it first 😉
I am having the same issue here , see MySite please.
I am very glad you made this plugin , the titles take up important space and sometimes are completely unnecessary.
I hope you can make this fix soon , great job!
Hi awarner20,
Well done! FINALLY someone looks after a huge annoyance.
Happy to beta test if you have need!
Also, when its done, I will link to you here:
Are you close to release?
GilPlugin Author Adam W. Warner
Hi Gil,
Hopefully I'm close…been battling illness and have gotten behind on more pressing projects. Will try for an update over the weekend.gilnamur
Hope you feel better soon! I was sick for 4 weeks … no fun.
Remember if you need testers, I am available.
Hi! I have two wordpress sites and I recently uploaded your plugin to both of them. It seems to be working on one site, but not the other. I installed the plugin on my sports site last night, and it worked at first, but when I came into work this morning, it's not working now. Do you have any suggestions?joliesky
Also, I have already tried switching my widget title headlines to h3, and that still didn't work.Plugin Author Adam W. Warner
Hi all,
Good news and bad news.
First, the bad news…there is no update for this plugin yet.
Good news…it's still on the radar here.
How it coming? Hope you feeling better. I'd like to see this working too, I have a use for it right now but it doesn't work because this theme uses h4 tags.
For those who need it to work, and don't want to wait for the update, I figured out there is a very simple style sheet in the plugin folder that you can change each h3 to the tag your theme uses. That fixes the first bug, but if you have the other bug with how different themes write the html/css, I might look into it at some point, especially if I need to use a theme that triggers this problem.
On a side note, another bug, it not only removes the title but it also removes any other headings from the widget content that match. The main reason I wanted to use the plugin was to hide the default title and put a different one in the content. Specifically, the headers are left-aligned by default, but I have one widget I wanted to center the title, so I used this plugin to remove the title and added the heading in the content inside a centered div.
A suggestion, instead, add a class to the widgets first header, and hide that class. Might solve all the problems!
For others with the heading in the content problem, it is a little messy, but I added a class .unhide with display set to inherit, and added the class to my headings in the content. Works for me!
Regarding the hidden headings in the widget content:
After looking some more, my theme's widget content is inside a nested div with the class textwidget, like so:

This is the title

This is the heading in the content

 ...
I figure this might be standard, if it is you can fix this easier. Instead of making a unhide class and applying the class to my headings in the widget content, I used the class textwidget to reset the headings the same way.
BEFORE .unhide {display: inherit !important;} AFTER .textwidget h4 {display: inherit !important;} FOR ALL .textwidget h1, .textwidget h2, .textwidget h3, .textwidget h4, .textwidget h5, .textwidget h6 {display: inherit !important;}
By the way, I forgot to mention the !important part of the styles, not sure if the second method needs this, but the first method that adds the unhide class does need to have !important in the styles, like this:
#text-9 h4 { display:none; } #text-8 h4 { display:none; } #text-6 h4 { display:none; } .unhide { display: inherit !important; }
(That is the whole style sheet)
Heheh, I should test more thoroughly before posting, lol. Editing that style sheet is pointless because it is recreated any time you change the hide setting on a widget. So instead add the code to your themes style sheet, usually in /wp-content/themes/your-theme/styles.css.
And in the ajaxwidget.php, at line 10, change the h3 to the heading tag your theme uses, mine uses h4, which should look like this:
$description = "#".$title." h4 { display:none; }";
Then un-check, Save, re-check, and Save on all the widgets which should be hidden.

MANTOLOKING, N.J. (AP) — One of the towns hardest hit by last year's Superstorm Sandy is trying to figure out how to pay for a new borough hall.
Mantoloking may do something the town government in the well-off New Jersey shore community has never done before: Borrow morning.
Town officials tell the Asbury Park Press (http://on.app.com/195ANpK ) that they would prefer not to issue bonds. But they say building a new borough hall may require it.
The building took on 4 feet of water during the storm, and officials say rebuilding may be less expensive than repairing it.
The borough has $347,000 from an insurance fund and $3,000 in federal aid for the damage, but that will not cover the costs of a new structure.

Running IT organizations with thousands of employees and budgets of tens of millions of dollars takes wit and wisdom, especially today, and some CIOs at Computerworld's Premier 100 IT Leaders conference this week shared both, perhaps none better than LaVerne Council, the CIO at Johnson & Johnson.
Council was among a number of CIOs from large organizations, including Walt Disney and FedEx, who talked about today's IT at the Premier 100 Conference in Phoenix. All of their stories shared common themes.
Johnson & Johnson, a $62 billion consumer health care products company, was wide open for reform when Council was hired in 2006. The company was expecting its new CIO to deliver a lot, including improvements in IT service levels.
"That was reasonable," said Council, "given that they didn't have service levels identified anywhere."
Johnson & Johnson also wanted Council to implement programs and systems that would improve customer satisfaction.
"I love this concept of customer satisfaction," said Council. "In fact, for the last 20 years I've been telling my husband about customer satisfaction," she deadpanned to audience laughter.
Council did note that something was missing when she joined the Johnson & Johnson IT organization, which employed about 4,000 people globally.
To explain the problem, Council drew an analogy to early days in IT. "I could remember starting as a programmer analyst and feeling very energized and very excited about what I did," she said, adding that she said had no doubt that the IT employees at Johnson & Johnson at one time were similarly enthusiastic about their jobs.
Council's plan to fix that problem included giving the IT staff a shared mission and vision. "The team wanted leadership and wanted to belong," she said, "and sometimes that's half the battle."
Council also wanted the business to know where "every dollar went," and to convince it that IT creates value and competitive advantage. She set a goal: "For every dollar they invested in IT, we would like for them to get 2.5 dollars back."
She also aimed to make Johnson & Johnson's global IT organization a "sought-after partner for innovation" as well as "an employer of choice. I like making jobs -- I think it's what we should do," said Council.
In a "town hall" meeting last year with IT workers, Council recalled that CEO William Weldon once said that he "didn't have any expectations about IT" and felt it was something that could have been outsourced to reduce costs.
However, she recounted that Weldon added at the time: "But now I can say that I'm actually looking to that group to deliver our innovation through technology to provide true competitive advantage, because now I do have expectations and they're high."
To hear that "made all the risk worth it," said Council, and "having my team there [to hear it] was priceless."
Walt Disney Studios
Steve Davis, the chief architect and vice president of information technology at Walt Disney Studios, suggested that today's economy has a movie-like quality about it.
"Even though an economic turnaround is slow in coming, when it comes it comes in the blink of an eye and all of a sudden it's happening, [then it will be] too late to sit down and say 'What are we going to do now?'" said Davis.
Davis stressed the importance of planning but added that there's an all-too-human reason that can make it difficult. "They don't want to be seen as promoting spending at a time when there is austerity," said Davis.
But planning doesn't have to be perfect, he stressed. "You can make place-holders for the future," he said.
For instance, on the fourth year of a movie studio's road map there may be a placeholder in June that says "summer blockbuster," explained Davis. The studio isn't sure what that film will be, but it knows that it needs a summer blockbuster and it knows roughly what that blockbuster will cost. "We can do the same thing in systems planning," he said.
When the economic meltdown came, Disney's IT unit was prepared. "We had already arranged our investments in a way that we knew what we would defer," said Davis.
Good planning doesn't mean that legacy systems are quickly phased out, said Davis, noting that existing systems are like poured concrete. For example, he said that his organization has been "killing Domino servers for eight years" and there are still two servers left. The audience chuckled.
FedEx Ground
One of the ways that Ken Spangler, the CIO at FedEx Ground, illustrated the importance of IT to his company was to point to technology's ever-expanding role at FedEx.
For instance, he described a new tool just developed by the company's laboratory as a "combination of GPS and sensor technologies" that can be put into packages to determine the location of a package en route, its temperature and whether it has been opened or not -- data that could, for example, be necessary for the biomedical industry.
United Airlines
In a joint presentation, Charlie Feld, a former CIO at a number of companies, including Frito-Lay Co., and the author of the new book Blind Spot IT (Olive Press, 2010), and R. Keith Halbert, senior vice president and CIO at United Airlines (who participated via videoconferencing), answered an audience question that has broad implications for current and future IT workers.
This question: how can people can be encouraged to get into IT when so much work is being sent offshore?
"Outsourcing can be used for good or evil, depending upon your motivation," said Halbert.
He argued that a company can outsource certain functions while retaining the right IT expertise and leadership. These "are all complementary tools and techniques" to drive down costs, but it all depends on the vision that is set.

Alien Investigation: Searching for the Truth About Ufos and Aliens by Kelly Milner Halls
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An always popular, high-interest subject presented in an appealing, engaging, and informative package.
Takes a great subject and makes it dry. There is a fictionalized story interspersed throughout which does nothing for the book. Witnesses often said they took pictures but are only three in the book. To the author's credit, alternative explanations to are given for some sightings. She seems to look at both sides but leans towards believing them as UFOs and aliens. There are sources cited.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0761362045, Library Binding)Imagine . . . you're in the woods after dark. Eerie green lights appear in the distance. Then there's a sudden flash and everything is dark again. You decide to take a closer look. You come upon a saucer-shaped craft hovering silently just above the ground. You reach out to touch it, but the object suddenly shoots up into the sky. Have you just seen a UFO?
Some people say they have had experiences like this. Are they telling the truth? To find out, Kelly Milner Halls investigated stories of eyewitnesses from around the world. She explored UFO sightings, landings, crashes, aliens, and even a few hoaxes. She also interviewed several of the world's UFO experts. Examine her findings and decide for yourself whether visitors from other worlds are real.

Just noticed when PC boots up and reports starting jail - shows error message: BIND can't assign requested address.

What caused this and how do I fix it?

Subject: [PC-BSD Testing] Can't access server in jail after changing network settings
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Date: Friday, March 19, 2010, 3:29 AM

I had a custom AMP stack running fine in a jail.

I accessed this on the local machine with Firefox with no problems.

Then I decided to expose the server to the internet by reconfiguring the network card to use a static IP rather than DHCP because you can't do port forwarding in a router on a DHCP network.

I've gotten this to work fine in the past using a Lynksys router, but now using a Dlink and port forwarding just wouldn't work for some reason. Changing the netcard config also made accessing the server locally MUCH slower, like 15 seconds to access a page. I had this same problem in PCBSD 7.1.1 before - accessing the IP with a browser on the same machine was really slow compared to another PC from the internet. That system did not use a jail - the AMP stack was custom installed directly.

I set everything back to the way it was but it had no effect so I did a complete system upgrade. Now I cannot access the server at all - no response.

I can ping the jail's IP no problem however.

I made no changes to the firewall which enabled the same exceptions as before for HTTP.

Also, after the upgrade from the DVD, the Warden would not run. Got an error stating that the program information could not be found, or something like that. So I reinstalled it and here I am, stuck. Had the same scenario when I upgraded from 7.1.1 to 8 a few weeks ago. Reimported the jail and still not working.

I believe this has nothing to do with the router as the jail's IP is local, right?

Why did changing the net settings block the jail, even after resetting them? What would cause the server to slow down in response so much, before?

Killeen Daily Herald
Both undefeated as professional fighters, Killeen's Marcus "Too Much" Johnson and his brother, "King" James Johnson Jr., are about to attend a graduation of sorts.
At least, that's the way they see it, heading into "The Rumble on the River," an eight-fight boxing card at the University of Texas' Erwin Center beginning tonight at 7.
Headlining the event, Marcus (7-0, 6 KOs) will take on journeyman Etienne "ET" Whitaker (32-20-2) for the NABF Texas Light-Heavyweight Championship. In the semi-main event, James (5-0, 5 KOs) squares off with Garland native Billy Thompson (7-4, 4 KOs).
The bouts represent a step up in competition for both brothers, who have yet to fight anyone professionally with a winning record, or with more than three career knockouts.
"You can't get to the top by staying at the bottom," said the Johnsons' father, James Sr., who serves as the trainer for both fighters. "In order to get where we want to get, we need to start stepping the competition up."
In Whitaker, Marcus figures to get exactly that – at least in relative terms.
A seasoned professional, Whitaker has traded blows with several highly regarded light-heavyweights, including Rudy Markusson (33-1, 20 KOs), Allan Green (20-0, 14 KOs), Troy Ross (13-1, 9 KOs), Paul Briggs (24-2, 18 KOs), Tracy Sneed (22-1, 16 KOs), Damon McCreary (11-0, 8 KOs), Jaidon Codrington (9-1, 9 KOs), Rico Hoye (19-1, 14 KOs) and Chris Henry (13-0, 12 KOs).
Unfortunately for Whitaker, he failed to beat any of them, losing via knockout in eight of the nine fights. The Warren, Ohio, native enters tonight's bout on a six-fight losing streak, and hasn't posted a win since Nov. 11 of 2004, when he KO'd Anthony Spain (8-10) in the second round.
In other words, Whitaker's knowledge may be extensive, but his chin is clay.
"He's been around and he's got a lot of experience," James Sr., said. "But I figure within 2-3 rounds it should be over."
Nonetheless, Whitaker has more victories than the rest of Marcus' previous opponents combined, and a title belt is on the line.
Toss in the fact that the bout will be within driving distance of Killeen at a premium venue, and the entire Johnson team is speaking of reaching a new plateau.
"This is what we've been waiting for," said the 19-year-old Marcus, who graduated from Ellison in 2004. "It's the best thing that could happen. It's finally here, and I'll make the most of it."
In a strategic sense, however, the plan remains unchanged.
Following a pattern he has used through his first seven fights, Marcus will use the opening round to study Whitaker, seeking weakness. Once found, he plans to exploit it with violent combinations – the same strategy he used to dispatch six of his opponents in three rounds or less.
"I'm just going to go in there and do what I always do," Marcus said. "As far as that's (concerned), it's no different than any other fight."
James Jr. may have a more difficult task, but is taking the same approach in his super middleweight bout with the sturdy Thompson.
Through 11 professional bouts, Thompson has been stopped only once, and is the only man to go the distance with highly touted Adam Hubinger (11-0, 10 KOs). Despite the potential threat, however, James Jr. hasn't studied a frame of film on Thompson, and that's just the way he wants it.
"I like to get as little information as possible about a guy," said the 23-year-old Killeen High School graduate. "I like to find out about them in the ring.
"When I step up to a better opponent, I step up my game. The better my opponents are, the better I'll fight."
Regardless of the outcome, there should be no shortage of supporters in the Johnson camp.
When asked how many friends and family would attend the bouts, the Johnsons' estimates ranged from "a lot," to "a whole bunch."
One local church alone, with whom the Johnsons are associated, bought more than 100 tickets and will travel to Austin in a 40-car caravan.
The next time the Johnsons fight near Killeen, the group is thinking of chartering a bus.
"We're looking to represent Killeen, but we eventually want to represent Texas, the United States and then the world," James Sr. said. "If we get a lot of people from Killeen, that will be great, but we want to represent all of Texas.
