It was a draw at home to Southampton. The result itself would not be considered a disaster under normal circumstances. Southampton have a very good team this year and if they are able to get a draw, so be it. It would still be a disappointing result, but it would not be a disaster. But the circumstances are anything but normal at Manchester United right now.
Sir Alex has retired and United are 8 points behind Arsenal, who are top of the league, after only 8 games into the season. They also find themselves 5 points out of the 4th place and the final champions league spot.
But that is not all. The new manager, David Moyes, has found himself reacting to situations from day 1, since he was handed a tough start by the gods in the premier league offices in addition to the non-ending Rooney transfer saga. Being a team with title aspirations, you need to be ahead of the competition.
Late transfer dealings, tough fixture lists and poor performances have all contributed to the turbulent ride that David Moyes is having at the moment. But reactive strategies are seldom effective. And given the poor run of results, the temptation for Moyes to persist with his best line up, if there is one, in each game would be immense.
The squad rotation, or lack thereof, during the early stages of the season has left many players unhappy and many others exhausted. And it will start to show as the season goes on, if it hasn't already. Squad management is one of the most important tasks for managers of teams with high ambitions, and Moyes' hands, now, seem tied in that department. It was never going to be easy keeping the squad, the size of United's, happy. But now, the task looks near impossible.
On the pitch, every team selection that Moyes has made so far has been overly criticized, regardless of the results. And that is what happens when you're not consistently winning, it's part of the job of being the manager of the biggest club in the world. He has been far too conservative in his approach on too many occasions, regardless of what he says about choosing 2 or 3 strikers in the line up, one of whom is usually Welbeck, who does not have a great track record.
The manager's approach to the game rubs off on to the players. It's no secret. But the real problem has been Moyes' inflexibility with his tactics, which has been a 4-4-1-1 for the most part. And I am concerned that he may not know another way of playing. Teams are having a real go at United this term and, at times, the midfield has been completely overrun.
The possession statistics against West Brom and Southampton, both home games, paint a grim picture. Three months ago, it would have been impossible to fathom a United team being dominated in terms of possession, at Old Trafford. And although it is too early to say, keeping in mind that he hasn't had a good run of games, the Fellaini experiment looks set to fail as it's presently being conducted.
The midfield pairing of Carrick and Fellaini is too immobile and against the 3 man midfield that most teams play nowadays, I don't see how the partnership can sustain a high level of performance, defensively or offensively. In hindsight, the transfer looks like a bad knee jerk reaction. But hindsight is 20/20, and on 2nd September, every one was just relieved that Fellaini deal was done after some severe impotency was shown throughout the transfer window by the United executives.
Everyone has been raving about Rooney's play so far this season. But I just don't see it. He is a very good striker; he works hard, runs around like a madman (in a good way) when he is not in possession, but he creates very little for his teammates and gets dispossessed far too often up the pitch for a player playing the no. 10 role.
Moyes has committed to Rooney so far and it has seemed like Rooney has repaid his faith in full. But when you look closer, it is evident that Rooney's inability to string together passes in the final third is hurting the team going forward. Rooney has completed only 73% of his passes and created only 11 chances in 7 appearances.
Compared to the no. 10s playing at top clubs around Europe, Rooney has been rather average. The poor play of the wide players and failure to put in enough good crosses is a quite well acknowledged problem at United, but the sub par play of Rooney is going unnoticed amidst all the England hype and the 3 goals from set pieces.
Although Kagawa can be a defensive liability, I cannot understand how a manager can leave a player of his skill out of the team, especially given his lack of options in the position that Kagawa plays. He has not, once, featured in his preferred role so far this season in any competition. When you have a player of Kagawa's ilk, as a manager, you have to find a way to build a system around him rather that try to fit him into your system. Now, there are no guarantees in football, but like in life, you better take your chances before it's too late. And the Kagawa gamble may well be worth it, even if only for a game.
The graphics below highlight the central attacking midfield problem and a complete failure to play through the middle areas of the pitch. Whether it is due to a lack of will on the part of the manager or not, it is difficult to say. But whenever United have tried, Rooney has not been able to provide a spark, and it was especially evident against Southampton, where he was continually dispossessed.
Having said that, the performance of all the players, individually, has been well below par, regardless of whatever tactical mistakes Moyes may or may not have made. They have not yet earned their wages so far this season, and there could be a yard sale outside Old Trafford come next July if this keeps up.
As for Rooney, he is a striker, and he is second in the pecking order for now, behind Robin Van Persie. And even as a play maker/attacking midfielder, he is a distant second in terms of ability to Kagawa. Whether Moyes believes that or whether Rooney accepts that is another question. And unless there is a change in the way the team is set up, only two of the three can be on the pitch.
But the play of Adnan Januzaj has certainly been a bright spot for Moyes. He is a fearless player, who is not scared to shoot or take people on, and has also shown to have wonderful vision and composure for someone so young and who is still developing. Having tied him down to a 5 year deal means that it is one less thing to worry about for the new manager.
Now, if this was any other club, Moyes' days would seem to be numbered. Thankfully for him, it is not. On current form and with presence of depth at the top of the league this year with strong starts for Liverpool and Tottenham along with the usual suspects, this has the potential to be a big crisis, make no mistake about it.
But it is not completely out of Moyes' hand yet, and he would do really well to steer the club out of this rut and at the very least, make the top 4. Yes, the top 4. But that is the minimum and with every point that is being dropped, the room for maneuvering is becoming smaller and smaller for 'The Chosen One'.

Lead Edit
Hold on, didn't Terror of the Autons establish that the Doctor and the Master had a history prior to Terror of the Autons? -- Tybort (talk page) 17:49, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
- No, it said they used to be at school together. --Revan\Talk 18:32, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
- My mistake, but that still leaves the "knew each other" bit as inaccurate, yes? -- Tybort (talk page) 18:43, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry I wasn't being clear (I definitely muddled things by saying "had a history"), but I meant that this novel clearly doesn't "establish[...] that the Doctor knew the Master prior to Terror of the Autons and they had known each other prior to this story" as the lead says. As all of the stories you mentioned post-date The Dark Path, I'm a bit confused by the point of that.
- I totally forgot about what specifically was said in Terror of the Autons. All I wanted to say in the intro was basically what Revan's just said. I've taken another stab at the intro, sorry for the confusion. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:33, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

DENVER - Teachers dedicate themselves to improving the lives of students. One Colorado teacher went above and beyond her normal duties to save a student's life.
Jen Sculley, a physical education teacher at East High School in Denver, donated a kidney to a student in need.
Sculley told Local 6 CBS Denver affiliate KCNC she donated the kidney to honor the memory of her late aunt, who died from cancer last year.
"She gave me hope on days when I didn't have any," Sculley told KCNC.
Sculley says she knew it was her calling to give the student her kidney when she found out the student had the same name as her aunt.
"As she was telling me, this very clear voice said, 'You're going to give her a kidney,'" Sculley told KCNC.
Doctors informed Sculley she was indeed a medical match with the student.
The student, who asked to remain anonymous, told KCNC she was grateful for her teacher's gift.
Sculley told the station the only thing she wants in return is for her student to live a long life.
"When she's 50, they're going to be like 'Do you still have that old gym teacher's kidney?' and she's going to be like 'Yeah!'" Sculley said.

BASINGSTOKE and Mid Hants Athletic Club are celebrating after their men's team secured promotion to National Division One of the British Athletics League.
The team claimed a narrow victory at the final meeting of the season, held in Bath, performing brilliantly in the last six events of the day to beat second-placed Harrow by a single point.
Basingstoke were in a strong position going into the match and their second victory of the season ensured that they finished second in the National Division Two table, earning them promotion to the second tier of British athletics.
Team manager Ian Byett said: "Obviously, we are delighted with the result after what was a tense day of athletics, but it was a good all-round performance from the team, with the athletes showing a lot of grit and determination."
The Down Grange club went into the final match of the season knowing that they would win promotion back to the second tier of British athletics if they could finish ahead of Kingston and Poly and no lower than fifth overall.
Byett was confident ahead of the match, but his belief must have been shaken with two-thirds of the events completed.
At that stage Basingstoke were languishing in sixth and in danger of missing out on a place in the top two.
However, as the weather deteriorated, Basingstoke came into their own, taking 120 points from a possible 144 on offer to come from behind and claim an unlikely match victory.
Victory was decided by the relays, with the 4x100m team of Owen Richardson, Dean Showler-Davis, Myles Richardson and Kieran Showler-Davis claiming an excellent win. The 4x400m team of Jon Elderfield, Hayden Carter (pictured left), Matthew Lavoipierre and Dean Showler-Davis then finished second in their race to secure top spot overall.
It was extremely tight at the top though, with Basingstoke's total of 316.3points just one more than second-placed Harrow, with league champions Southampton 0.3points further behind.
The top-two finish Basingstoke craved to earn an instant return to National Division One was secured with ease in the end, the Down Grange club winding up six points clear of third-placed Harrow and just three behind Southampton.
In addition to the sprint relay team, Basingstoke's other main event winner was Hayden Carter, who finished quickly to win the 800m. Sam Sleap won the B 110m hurdles, while Ben Hazell won the B javelin.
However, it was Basingstoke's consistency across the events that won them the match, with athletes securing second-place finishes in eight events and five third-place finishes.
Matthew Lavoipierre (400m hurdles), Alex Teuten (3,000m steeplechase), Hazell (discus), Adam Akehurst (javelin) and the 4x400m team got Basingstoke's A string second places, while Owen Richardson (200m), Tom Bowerman (3,000m steeplechase) and Sleap (shot) were the B string runners up.
Dean Showler-Davis claimed a brace of third place finishes, in the 100m and 200m, while Lavoipierre was third in the 400m. B string third places went to Tom Sycklemore (800m) and Daniel Spencer (discus).

Malda, June 27: A 40-year-old woman was found on the railway tracks near Eklakhi Station today and her daughter has alleged that she was pushed off a running train by a travelling ticket examiner for not having tickets.
Local people ransacked the railway station after the incident and assaulted three other TTEs who were travelling in the Malda-Balurghat Gour Link Express as the woman. The GRP and Gajole police rescued the three TTEs. Eklakhi is 29km from here.
Baiful Biwi has been admitted to the Malda Medical College and Hospital with multiple injuries. Her condition is stable.
According to a source, Baiful is a resident of Rahamatpur, around 7km from Malda. Her husband Esahar Ali is a day wage labourer and the couple have four daughters.
Baiful and her daughter Amiran Biwi boarded a general compartment of the train at Adina station (20km from Malda) at 6.30am to go to Eklakhi. The fare from Adina to Eklakhi is Rs 5.
We had a Rs 100 note and no other change. So we couldnt buy tickets. Four TTEs came to us and we told them that we didn't have tickets and explained the reason, said Amiran. Suddenly, one of them (TTE R.P. Ram) said we had to pay Rs 100 as fine. We disagreed and there was an altercation. Suddenly, the TTE pushed my mother out of the train, the daughter said.
As the train entered Eklakhi station around 7.30am, Amiran narrated the incident to Sirajul Islam, a relative who was waiting to receive the mother-daughter duo. After I heard the incident I informed some villagers, several of whom soon reached the station, said Islam.
As villagers reached the station, Ram, the accused TTE, managed to escape and left for Balurghat in the same train. The remaining three TTEs, however, could not escape. One of them took shelter in a toilet and two others hid in the office of the station manager in Eklakhi. All the three were soon found and allegedly assaulted and gheraoed by the local people.
The GRP and Gajole police reached the station and dispersed the crowd.
The woman and her daughter did not have tickets. When we asked for fine, they started quarrelling with us. The woman was standing close to the door. She suddenly lost her balance and fell from the train. None of us have pushed her off the train, said Gopal Majhi, one of the three TTEs.
Arun Kumar Mishra, the divisional railway manager of Katihar, however, gave a different version. For the past few days, a team of TTEs has been carrying out raids on trains to discourage travel without tickets. Today, they found these two women travelling without tickets. As the TTEs asked for fine, one of the women jumped out of the train, he said.
District police officers in Malda said they had received two complaints. Amiran Biwi and the station manager of Eklakhi have filed two different complaints. We are investigating the cases, said Prasun Banerjee, the superintendent of police of Malda.

Phoenix Rising, by NS Newsome
This novel would have to have the most gut-wrenching first page of any equestrian book – fiction or non-fiction. It is told in the words of the horse, Phoenix, and while this is not a new method the insights into "the horse's lot" will be an eye-opener for many.
The often-repeated, ancient maxim "if only they could talk" has left horsemen and women over the ages wondering just that: if they could talk, what would they say? Would they like us? Would they be happy in their lives?
Perhaps for many equestrians it is just as well they cannot talk as they would not like what came out of their horse's mouth.
Phoenix Rising, by NS Newsome
Lavender and White Publishing
£3.99 – ebook
A percentage of the sale price goes to The Ray of Hope Rescue centre in France.
Available from the publisher
The star of this book Phoenix Rising, is a young thoroughbred with an excellent pedigree and plenty of speed. She has a good upbringing but is high-spirited and with a mind of her own. This can often be a good thing but her behaviour and some bad luck leads Phoenix out of the racing system and into the outside world.
And in recent months the fate of horses whose luck has changed for the worse has come into the spotlight, with the horrific news that British and American equines all too often end up on dinner tables in Europe – even disguised in processed meat products on British supermarket shelves.
Most likely over-represented in these statistics is the noble thoroughbred – born to race and win, but if they don't then their future suddenly becomes rather bleak.
Often what seems a promising option for a horse to have a new career or to live out their days turns out the opposite – these trusting and helpless animals are at the mercy of the humans who are entrusted with their care. Helpless because they cannot run away as a desperate dog or cat might.
As Phoenix finds, there are good homes and bad, and a horse who was once considered a classic contender can end up on the slipperly slope of being passed from owner to owner, with the circumstances often more dire each time.
We won't reveal any more of the plot but we will say that Phoenix Rising will take the reader on a soul-searching journey, one that far too many horses travel every day.
Indeed, if only they could talk.
* Phoenix Rising is from the same stable as Winners, by Jacqui Broderick.
Nicky Newsome grew up in the heart of England, close to Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, and developed a passion for all things equestrian at a very young age. However, she had to make do with galloping around the garden on home-made hobby horses until she was judged responsible enough to have a real-life pony at the age of 12. She has never been without at least one horse or pony in her life ever since.
A serious riding accident when she was 18 put paid to her ambitions of being a jockey, but her brief employment in a jump-racing yard left her with a deep love of, and respect for, thoroughbreds. With her riding career over, Nicky returned to full-time education to take an Honours Degree in Communication Studies, following which she spent several years working for the British Horse Society. Deciding that what she really wanted to do was write about horses, and develop her interest in 'natural horsemanship', she then found employment with a publisher of equestrian magazines, during which time she was involved in a National campaign by the International League for the Protection of Horses (now World Horse Welfare) to prevent the live export of equines for meat.
For the past 13 years, Nicky has lived on a small farm in France with her husband, Steve, her two Arabian horses, two ponies and a menagerie of other animals, and has recently re-homed a young, ex-race horse called Charlie. Phoenix Rising is her first work of fiction, but she is hoping it won't be her last.

Smegging great.
I loved it! I have always wanted to get hold of a Burnt Face Man soundsboard!

Its great, the sound is perfect and clear, and you've got a great variety of characters and quotes. Thank-you, its wonderful.

ASSIA Experts Agree Vectored DSL Is the Right Path for Australia and Key to Affordable Plan for 100 Mbps
REDWOOD CITY, CA -- (Marketwired) -- ASSIA, Inc., a leading solutions company for broadband service providers, today applauded the proposal in Australia to use vectored DSL to bring 100 Mbps quickly to nearly all Australians. ASSIA experts invented vectoring about 10 years ago amid industry skepticism that the technology would ever achieve the high speeds promised. In the past two years, however, field trials and early deployments are delivering on that promise.
"Broadband technology has advanced considerably since the National Broadband Network plan was conceived in 2008, and DSL offers a powerful alternative that can actually bring more bandwidth into a neighborhood than GPON fiber and at 10 percent to 20 percent of the cost," said Dr. John Cioffi, ASSIA Chairman and CEO. "ASSIA continues to develop solutions, including advanced wireless network capabilities, to allow customers to take advantage of high speeds quickly and at modest cost."
Today, service providers around the world are planning or implementing vectoring, and as momentum continues to grow, vectoring stands to augment DSL's position worldwide as the leading residential fixed-access technology. ASSIA's pioneering work in this field has led to several examples of vectoring's impressive DSL performance gains, and significant improvements in the consumer broadband experience:
September 14, 2012: Deutsche Telekom announced plans to deploy vectoring to help double its super-fast broadband connections from 12 million to 24 million households by 2016. Two months later, Deutsche Telekom reported, "As a result of vectoring, households can enjoy download transmission speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s -- that's double the present speed of VDSL. Vectoring offers upload speeds of up to 40 Mbit/s. Telekom has announced that it wants to invest about EUR 6 billion [to] enable 24 million households." A cost of EUR 6 billion for 24 million homes equates to $350/home.
Josh Taylor of ZDNET Australia reports that Britain also will begin vectoring in 2013. He quotes BT's Mike Galvin, "Fibre to the cabinet [and DSL for the last mile] is considerably cheaper. It varies from site to site, but in brownfields, it is typically four times cheaper, maybe even more, [than fibre to the home]."
November 7, 2012: AT&T announced that it plans to expand by more than one-third its high-speed U-verse network, which combines fiber with vectored VDSL, to a total potential of 33 million homes over the next three years as part of a $14 billion capital investment plan. AT&T also plans to increase downstream Internet speeds to up to 75 Mbps with the expanded U-verse network.
May 10, 2011: Dutch operator KPN announced on its investor day that it planned to implement vectoring in the second half of 2012.
September 29, 2011: Belgacom announced that it would pave the way for next-generation broadband in Europe, with the world's first commercial introduction of VDSL2 vectoring.
September 29, 2011: Total Telecom wrote that Europe is a prime market for vectored VDSL, and cited vectoring tests in France, the UK, Austria, the Netherlands, and Italy.
Vectored DSL uses the existing copper for the connection to the home, avoiding the expensive disruption of digging through streets and lawns. Each neighborhood has a fiber-fed node, often as small as a pizza box on the pole or in a cabinet. Eliminating the construction to the home brings the cost down dramatically and also allows much quicker deployment. ZDNet's Taylor reports British Telecom is deploying 100,000 homes per week. Deutsche Telekom plans to deploy 24 million homes in four years.
Dr. Cioffi, also a Stanford Professor Emeritus, and George Ginis, ASSIA Vice President of Product Management, are the original inventors of vectoring technology and related dynamic spectrum management software now implemented by leading broadband service providers worldwide. ASSIA Expresse Solutions combine the company's powerful DSL Expresse software with professional services and best practices to help service providers address the key business and network challenges they face today, including increased consumer demand for high-speed broadband.

Mixed martial artist Pat Miletich says he is considering a bid for the U.S. Senate.
Miletich, a former UFC champion from Bettendorf, tweeted last week that people could pencil his name in next year for Senate, adding "Bruce Braley cannot win that seat."
Braley, a Democrat from Waterloo, has said he is running for the seat being vacated by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa.
Miletich now appears on Showtime, ESPN and AXS.TV as a commentator. He also has co-founded a company called Fire Horse Combatives, which trains law enforcement and military members.
In an interview Monday, he said he hasn't decided whether he will add "Senate candidate" to his resume but he has been thinking about politics for a couple of years.
"A lot of people are fed up with a lot of things that are happening in the country," he said.
He criticized the influence of special interest, and said he believes in term limits. He also said the government is intruding too much on the private sector and individual rights.
"I'm not a fan of the left, socialist mentality at all," he said.
Miletich is a registered Republican but said it was possible he could run as an independent.
The 47-year-old also left open the possibility he might even run for a local office, such as mayor of Bettendorf. But then he added, "I never think small."
Harkin, who has been in the Senate since 1985, said in January that he would not seek another six-year term. That has set up a scramble to see who might succeed him. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, as well as Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds and state Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey, both Republicans, also are considering runs.

Special Commemorative Issue: The Abeloff Era - Building Upon a Tradition of Excellence
Director's Letter
Date: April 1, 2007
I have to be honest. When I was first told about this special tribute issue of Promise & Progress, I was a little—no, actually, very—uncomfortable. There is no doubt that the accomplishments of the past 15 years are remarkable and worth discussion. But I see them, not as my accomplishments but as those of the amazing faculty and staff I have had the privilege to lead over these years. It has been said that one of the true measures of a leader is the people with whom he surrounds himself.If that is the case, then even I must agree that I've earned high marks. You have all made me look good.
What we have built has been more than just physical structures. While it was important to build facilities that gave people the space, equipment, and environment they needed to be successful, it was just as important to build teams. Together, we knocked down boundaries— those physical and those in our minds—to create a truly comprehensive center bringing together every discipline involved in the research and treatment of cancer. Johns Hopkins is so rich in talent that we have been able to assemble world-class experts to address virtually every form of cancer, and we have made real progress. When I became director in 1992, it was frequently noted that there had been progress in childhood cancers and some of the hematologic malignancies, but not much had changed in the common solid tumors—lung, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers. We now can report that the death rates in the common cancers are steadily falling, and we have not yet seen the impact of recent molecularly targeted therapies. Patients are not only living longer, but they are living with a significantly improved quality of life.
This was already one of the world's finest cancer centers when I took over as director from Al Owens. We've built on that foundation, assembling physical structures and talented teams. Despite our great successes deciphering the biology of cancer, developing targeted and less toxic therapies, converting many types of cancer to chronic diseases, and preventing others, there is still much work to be done. Under Dr. Owens' leadership, our Center helped define the field of oncology. Over the last 15 years, I have joined you in helping to create a new paradigm in which the remarkable advances in basic science are translated into meaningful interventions for our patients.I am certain that the next 15 years will move us even closer to eliminating cancer's ability to take lives.

Cognition, Brain and Consciousness provides students and readers with an overview of the study of the human brain and its cognitive development. It discusses brain molecules and their primary function, which is to help carry brain signals to and from the different parts of the human body. These molecules are also essential for understanding language, learning, perception, thinking, and other cognitive functions of our brain.
The book also presents the tools that can be used to view the human brain through brain imaging or recording. Brain recording is used to measure electric and magnetic signals in our brain. The most precise recording method is the single neuron or unit recording that uses deep needle electrodes implanted in the brain. In addition, the book discusses peoples consciousness and attention spans, which are considered complementary processes. Learning and memory capacity of the brain are also discussed.
The study of cognitive neuroscience is very challenging, as every aspect of the human brain must be studied to fully understand how the brain works.

On the bout sheet, a fight against Jason Gavern doesn't appear to be much of a risk for undefeated heavyweight Deontay Wilder.
However, the risk becomes apparent when you consider what's at stake for Wilder.
Wilder (31-0, 31 KOs) is the mandatory challenger to WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne. They are supposed to fight before the end of the year.
Instead of waiting, Wilder will be in the ring Saturday at StubHub Center on the undercard of the Kell Brook-Shawn Porter card in what should be an easy victory.
Wilder, 28, has had only one fight this year, a first-round knockout of Malik Scott in March.
"The risk is there no matter who I'm fighting," Wilder said Wednesday from the Fabela Boxing Center in Carson. "Anybody that's a heavyweight that's going to put on 10-ounce gloves is a risk.
"You can't take anybody lightly because of their record or who they've fought. There have been many upsets by guys overlooking people. We don't overlook anyone, no matter who you are."
Gavern, 37, appears to be in line to be Wilder's 32nd consecutive knockout victim. Despite victories in his previous two fights, Gavern's losses (16) are catching up to his victories (25).
"I didn't have to fight," Wilder said. "I'm doing this for my fans. This is not for me to look good against a guy. When I hear the criticism that I haven't fought anybody I still smile because, you know what? I'm getting ready to fight for a world title."
Wilder said he expects both sides to begin negotiations next week for a fight against Stiverne.
Unlike Wilder, Stiverne probably will not take a stay-busy fight. He defeated Chris Arreola in May for the vacant WBC heavyweight title.
"Hopefully everybody will agree on everything so it doesn't have to go to a purse bid," Wilder said. "I'm ready to get this on. I've been ready a long time, and hopefully we get this show on the road, so we can have a new heavyweight champion.
"This fight (against Gavern) is like an appetizer and in a couple of months you get the steak dinner in November."
Wilder, who was a bronze medalist at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, has steamrolled over a less-than-stellar lineup of opponents. He calls it part of the "business" of boxing.
His trainer, former world champion and 1984 U.S. gold medalist Mark Breland, said Wilder's move up the ladder is similar to that of heavyweight champions Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.
"Like I tell people, all fighters do the same thing," Breland said. "Tyson did the same thing, Holyfield … there is a difference between the '84 Olympic team and a lot of these guys now. When we turned pro, we started with six-round (fights), and we fought guys that were pretty much hard-core.
"When we came out of the amateurs, we were sparring pros, but now, with guys like Deontay, we have to keep them fighting certain guys, and you're fighting certain guys for certain reasons; you want to build up your confidence and get that experience against different styles.
After Gavern, Breland said he feels that Wilder will be more than ready for the next big step against Stiverne.
"I think Stiverne is tailor-made for him," Breland said. "I don't think Stiverne can take Deontay's power."
The main course will provide all of the answers.
The main card Saturday will feature a tripleheader at 6 p.m. starting with WBC lightweight champion Omar Figueroa (23-0-1, 17 KOs) defending his title against Daniel Estrada (32-2-1, 24 KOs). Sakio Bika (32-5-3) will then defend his WBC super middleweight title against Anthony Dirrell (26-0-1, 22 KOs).
Bika and Dirrell met last December with the fight ending in a draw, allowing Bika to retain his title. The main event will follow with Porter (24-0-1, 15 KOs) defending his IBF welterweight title against England's Brook (32-0, 22 KOs).
Also on the undercard is Jorge Linares (36-3, 23 KOs). With a victory against Ira Terry, Linares will become the mandatory challenger for the winner of the Figueroa-Estrada fight.

The Leather-Bound Sketchpad
Work in Progress
Rating: T for angst-ish ideas.
Pairings: ItaSaku, slight SasuSaku (possibly more in the future, however, ItaSaku will remain the main pairing.)
Summary: That was it. He was it. Itachi Uchiha was the one she would draw. He knew how she felt in every aspect. Sure maybe their situations differed, but the feelings were the same.
My Notes: This is a unique plot, which I have never seen used before. I am avoiding all of the common cliches with this story; I hope that it turns out nicely.
Bloody Handprints
Rating: T or M for angst and gore.
Pairings: None
Summary: After that day, I began seeing in red. No color or shade existed - only red.
My Notes: This story is entirely from Itachi's point-of-view. I suppose that it could be considered a sort of prequel to The Leather-Bound Sketchpad, but really they don't need to be connected at all. It would just give more insight into Itachi's mind. Just in case anyone thinks that it starts after he annihilates his clan, I will tell you now: NO, it starts quite a while before he decides to off his family.

43rd Fort Armstrong Folk Festival continues to honor history, heritage
On the heels of what they consider one of their best fests in recent memory, Fort Armstrong Folk Festival organizers embrace their 43rd year with enthusiasm.
"We are really excited for this year's festival," says Jessica Coil, executive director, which returns July 31 to Aug. 3 along the tree-lined banks of the Allegheny River in Kittanning. The event attracts an estimated 100,000 people in its run. "We're hoping that last year's greater attendance and sales was a sign that the festival is growing and gaining in popularity once again."
The focus continues to honor Armstrong County's history and heritage, Coil says. This nod to the past, though, also includes some modern touches, with music and other expression. And, this year, for the first time since 2011, fireworks will be part of the celebration at 10 p.m. Aug. 2.
"We usually save fireworks for a big anniversary year, but we've had a lot of requests for them. We're hoping to do fireworks annually."
An annual festival anchor is the juried arts and crafts. This year, a variety of crafters will be joined by some new ones, offering handmade, high-quality creativity, Coil says. Crafters will wear Colonial-style period clothing to emphasize the event's historical mission.
Returning will be blacksmith, spinning and heritage-music demonstrations, the John T. Crawford Camp re-enactors with their Civil War attire and displays and a Colonial-theme petting zoo.
The Crawford Camp is another festival anchor. "This group of volunteers does an excellent job reminding and educating our festivalgoers of our history and heritage here in the county," she says.
Cars and other vehicles will provide a strolling exhibit, with muscle cars July 31, convertibles Aug. 1 and compact cars and tractors Aug. 2.
The popular horse-and-carriage rides will continue daily.
The food court once again will be full with traditional and new foods, and the entertainment schedule has a wide appeal.
"And we have plenty planned to excite and entertain the kids," Coil says. Those activities include handmade wooden toys, pony rides, face-painting, reptile education in a program called "All God's Creatures," and Buffo the World's Strongest Clown.
Keeping a fresh face on a long-running festival is an ongoing challenge.
"It is a delicate balance to keep things fresh; yet, keep what the people have come to love and expect from the festival," Coil says. "It is difficult at times to add new things, due to budget restrictions, but we are always looking to enhance, yet honor, this 43-year tradition. One thing that will remain is our diligence in only accepting hand-crafted vendors. We feel that is the key to a high-quality festival."
Ray Voller, veteran entertainment director, board member and musician, says his goal is to always book something for everyone, making the entertainment varied from year to year.
"What makes it difficult is that not only do many of the acts want to return, but also much of our audience wants certain ones back also," he says. "To keep the lineup interesting, I try to accommodate as many people as I can."
Voller, who is a dentist, says he is always interested in finding new acts, booking new talent and making the festival a memorable experience for everyone.
He selects acts that, like the vendors, meet high standards, he says.
Country, rock, oldies, big-band, bluegrass, jazz, bagpipe, folk, pop, easy listening, classical, classic rock and more are among the music genres represented. There's also a Festival Idol competition (7:30 p.m. July 31) and fiddle contest (2 p.m. Aug. 2). The Vogues will return with their classic hits, closing Fort Armstrong's main-stage entertainment at 7 p.m. Aug. 3.
The Summit Academy Percussion, an all-drums group, will offer a street performance at 6 p.m. Aug. 1. "They sound fantastic," Voller says.
In nonmusical entertainment, Voller is enthusiastic to finally land Buffo the World's Strongest Clown for Aug. 3 North Stage (located in the park) shows at 2:45 and 4:45 p.m. "I've seen him many times and tried so hard to hire him in the past, but this year, he was finally available," he says.
The entertainment lineup is found on the festival website: www.ArmstrongFestival.com.
"It takes everyone in the community to put on an event like this, and I'm proud of what is accomplished each year with countless volunteer hours and the amazing dedication of board members and all of our volunteers," Coil says.

I don't know how you guys feel about this, but today is the 68th anniversary of the Rangers' 1940 Stanley Cup.
Before 1994, just the year, "1940†had a terribly negative connotation. I just wonder if now it is seen as something to be celebrated as part of team history, or if it is still viewed as part of a past curse.
Anyway, as you know, it now 1 for 68 years, and 0 for 14.If you are one who can now celebrate the past – I doubt many bloggers were alive back then, and I surely was NOT — I found this passage  in the NHL's Total Stanley Cup book, a summation of the 1940 Cup win:
"With the circus heading towards New York, the Rangers were forced to play the first two games of the Final on consecutive nights before vacating Madison Square Garden for the rest of the series.
"Three of the Rangers' four game-winning goals were scored in overtime, including the Cup-winner by Bryan Hextall in game six. It marked the third time in NHL history that the last goal of the season had been tallied in sudden-death.
"Lynn and Murray Patrick skated for the winners to become the third and fourth members of the Patrick family, joining father (and Rangers manager) Lester and uncle Frank (1915 Vancouver), to have their names engraved on the Stanley Cup.â€

Equipped with space for 20 oz of joe, this mug will display two different images depending on temperature. When cold, it will feature red supergiant V838 Monocerotis, which is 20,000 light years from Earth on the edge of the Milky Way. When warm, a light echo of the star's stellar outburst will appear.
The images featured on the mug were captured by the Hubble telescope in December 2002. It was revealed that V838 Monocerotis was 600,000 times brighter than the sun at its peak. However, simultaneously handling coffee and a significant astronomical event has its limits, and it this case that means the mug can't enter the microwave or dishwasher.

Vo-tech Education: It's Not What You Think
Posted: January 27, 2011
Bob Veilleux, an Economic and Community Development Educator with the Penn State Cooperative Extension, is out to change that. Located in an office in the facilities of the Seneca Highlands Area Vo-Tech school, he gets to see the workings, needs, and benefits of this kind of education for both students and communities.
And the stereotypes? "It's not what you think, and that is why we started Techsploration."
This program was aimed at exposing younger students to the opportunities and benefits of a vo-tech education at a younger age; not just as they are going into high school, and not just from a guidance counselor, but real, hands on exposure and experience. In the North Central part of Pennsylvania, the opportunities for the kinds of highly advanced job skill training that is available become particularly important and are often under-utilized.
And these aren't shabby jobs either. They are jobs that require high end math and engineering skills, computer skills, leadership training and more. The program contained two primary aspects: leadership and the hands on. "We aren't just interested in getting people trained in technical work but in learning work relationship and communication skills that will be needed in any job." After this, the students hit the shops. Over two days, the two different age groups got to try out working in several different trades. The 5th and 6th graders spent time in areas like computer repair, culinary arts, and building/construction trades areas. The 7th - 9th graders spent time with metal work, heavy equipment, and computer networking. Instructors focused on showing the ties to science, engineering, and math. In the building/construction trades program, students programmed a laser engraver to engrave a design onto the wood-working project that each student made in the program.
And the attitudes started changing. Students responded with positive reviews. One student expressed how she had come in thinking that she was set on culinary school, only to discover that what she liked more and was actually great at was computer networking.
But the big change came with the parents: in their "pre-techsploration" reviews, they put the value of a vo-tech education at 6.5 After the program?
Averaging about 9.5.
Another success from the program was the use of grants. Through a grant obtained in partnership with a local nonprofit, this program was available for free for 40 students, allowing a greater range for recruitment in the community and opening up the opportunity for more students.
For more information about Techsploration, contact Bob Veilleux. A final report and evaluation is available as well as slide show of pictures of the event.

Dearborn, MI - The Wolves notched their first win of the 2012 season 8-7 over Northwood University. Defensive breakdowns allowed the Timberwolves to score on nearly every possession in the first quarter and would eventually take a 6-2 lead at the ten minute mark of the second quarter.
After a few key adjustments on the defensive end of the field the Wolves would completely shut down the Timberwolves offense for the next twenty-seven minutes of game play. During that span, the Wolves offense grinded away to take a 7-6 lead off a door step goal by Junior attackman Dane Haskin (Lincoln Park, MI) which was assisted by Freshman midfielder Colten Lorenz (Allen Park, MI). However, the Timberwolves answered back just thirty-two seconds later to tie the game at 7 apiece with thirteen minutes remaining in the game.
What would ultimately be the game winning goal came unassisted from Junior midfielder Kevin LaHaie (Plymouth, MI) at the seven minute mark of the fourth quarter.
Despite losing the face-off and ground ball battle, the Wolves man-up unit and clearing game was much improved from the first two matches of the season.
The offense was led by Dane Haskin (2g, 2a) and freshman Dylan Hatcher (3g, 1a). On the defensive side of the ball, freshman Alex Miller was exceptional notching countless take-aways in the win.
The Wolves hope to build off this win as they face Butler University in their first conference match-up the season this Saturday. The game will be played at West Bloomfield High School on Saturday, March 24th at 1:30pm.

Sociologist and author Ashis Nandy, who is alleged to have made disparaging remarks against the backward classes in a speech made at the Jaipur Literature Fest (JLF) on Saturday, has been served a written summons by the Jaipur police today.
The organisers of the JLF had on Monday handed over the video footage of Nandy's speech during which he had allegedly blamed the people from the backward classes, scheduled castes and tribes for corruption in the country.
In his speech at a panel discussion on Saturday, Nandy had said: "It will be an undignified and vulgar statement but the fact is that most of the corrupt come from the OBC, the Scheduled castes and now increasingly STs. As long as it was the case, the Indian republic would survive."
Police said a first information report was lodged against Nandy under the section 3(1) of the SC/ST Act, which was non-bailable and invited a 10-year jail term. The case was filed by a person identified as Ram Ratan Meena.
Sanjoy Roy, producer of the JLF, who had defended Nandy on Sunday, has also been named in the police report registered against the author, and is likely to be questioned today by the police.
On Monday, organisers of the JLF signed an undertaking not to leave the city till police investigations in this case are complete.
Nandy, had on Saturday itself clarified that he did not mean to hurt the sentiments of the country's disempowered groups with his comment about the equalizing force of corruption and that the scourge was rampant among the backward and Dalit communities as well.
"I do believe that a zero corruption society will be despotic society. I also said that if people like Richard Sorabjee and I want to be corrupt, I shall possibly send his son to Harvard and give him a fellowship and he can send my daughter to Oxford," Nandy told the media following protests by Dalit groups.
"No one will think it as corruption. Indeed it will look like supporting talent. But when Dalits, tribals and the OBCs are corrupt, it looks very corrupt indeed. However, this second corruption equalizes. It gives them access to top their entitlements As long as this equation persists, I have hope for the republic," he said.
Nandy said he was sorry that he had been misunderstood. "As should be clear, there was neither any intention nor any attempt to hurt any community," he said.
The scholar said he had been supporting the cause of the marginalized and dispossessed in the last 40 years of his academic and intellectual life.
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Mayawati has asked the Rajasthan government to take strong action against him, while Republican Party of India (RPI) chief Ramdas Athawale has demanded that Nandy take back his comments.
However, Dalit activist-writer Kancha Ilaiah sought to put a lid on the controversy on Monday saying it was "a bad statement with good intentions". Teachers of Jamia Milia University and Delhi University have also rallied behind Nandy.

Stanley and Oliver are mousetrap salesmen hoping to strike it rich in Switzerland, but get swindled out of all their money by a cheesemaker
The one where Stan and Ollie try to revive their flagging mousetrap business by relocating their head office to Switzerland, reckoning that any place famous for its cheese must have a major mouse problem.
The plot is just an excuse for gag sequences, most memorably the boys stuck on a rickety rope bridge with a raging gorilla, in this genuine delight from start to finish. With many set pieces and musical dance numbers it might not be a must for all Laurel And Hardy fans, not wholly focusing on the bumbling pair, but a great start for anyone beginning a collection of great comedy classics.
Also interesting to note Stan Laurel's appearance in this film as due to being ill at the time of filming he appears weak, pale and tired.
Definitely worth seeing, but if you're new to the Laurel and Hardy cult and haven't seen it and are thinking of buying it, be advised that, despite top billing, they are almost guest stars here.

Convenience in the mutual fund industry
I examine the role of convenience in the mutual fund industry. I find that investors pay more for relatively convenient funds, and that the flows to convenient funds are less responsive to performance. These findings suggest that investors do not evaluate mutual funds independently, but rather that investors select a primary fund, likely based on beliefs about managerial ability, and then select funds which are relatively convenient to this primary fund.

The St. Croix River is a national treasure, and the St. Croix River Association (SCRA) invites you to celebrate it and help clean it up during River Awareness Week, July 13-22.This weeklong event along the St. Croix River and its tributaries is a great way for people of all ages to experience the amazing gift we have in our own backyard.
The St. Croix River is one of the cleanest tributaries flowing to the Mississippi River, but it's not without its challenges. There is too much phosphorus, which leads to algae blooms. Many invasive species are creeping in, displacing native plants and animals. These are some big challenges. For one week, the SCRA coordinates efforts to make us all more "river aware," hoping to build a lasting river connection. People take care of what they love, and everyone has a role in taking care of our water.
A whole week of events kicks off on Friday evening, May 13, in St. Croix Falls, Wis. at Music on the Overlook, a very popular local venue. The first scheduled clean up will be at Wild River State Park, July 14. All scheduled events will be posted at the SCRA website www.stcroixriverassociation.org.
There are multiple ways for to participate. River clean up is a traditional and important part of River Awareness Week. Those who would like to organize a clean up can contact SCRA. Clean ups are just one part of the week. There will be water quality workshops, art projects, and parties along the riverbanks. Anyone organizing another type of event during River Awareness Week can let the SCRA know and the organization will help promote it on its website and through other River Awareness Week communications and press releases.
Interested in learning more or want to organize your own River Awareness event? Contact the SCRA at 715-483-3300 or e-mail [email protected] Visit the SCRA website for the full list of events at www.stcroixriverassociation.org

Why is India not following Italy?
A recent Indian news story describes the reticence of the government to issue compulsory licenses in cases that are not health emergencies, or for export. An official at the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion indicates that "There is no point in going in for CL unless there is an epidemic which impacts a large chunk of the population, and needs immediate solution."
This suggests that the government will not issue a CL for manufacture and export of a drug that is patented in India to a country where there is no patent (I assume).
A refusal to grant a license under similar circumstances was ruled to be anticompetitive in Italy and subject to a competition based CL. See http://www.wcl.american.edu/pijip/competitionpolicyproject.cfm
This looks like a prime area where developing countries should be following a pro-access competition doctrine established in the north. Certainly India should have a strong interest in erasing barriers to its generic export industry.
Using competition as the basis for the CL (e.g. under a theory that a patent should not be used to expand power into markets where it does not provide an exclusive right) provides an avenue around the TRIPS requirement that CLs normally be predominantly for the local market.

Truefitt & Hill Frequent Use Shampoo
This is great for any guys you know with oily hair. It is designed for everyday use so it cleans the hair without stripping it of all it's oils (which causes it to produce excess oil later). Plus, it provides some rosemary-mint aromatherapy for an invigorating shower.
