We ll definitely come back and book the same room if we ever come back to Koh Phangan. Oh, how we enjoyed waking up with the sea right outside our doorstep. The real beach is a few meters away, but just to view of the water brings peace of mind. The staff was really kind and personal, and the managers recognized us whenever we went to see them about something. Like when a big lizard snuck into our room. The breakfast wasn t always that great, but good enough. The restaurant was good, not great, and the view from there was simply stunning. There s a pool table too. Our kids really enjoyed the pool and it got the massage place right next to it, everything is really close. Cleaning service was almost as cheap as the street laundries. We love this place. Not for party people because this beach is really quiet, but since we have two kids we need quiet more than party. The bed was really big and comfy too.

Beautiful room and view. The only thing that spoiled it here were the hoards of noisy children and babies. We hadn t expected that! The restaurant and bar area was a lovely place to sit and relax on various cushions and sofas etc. Well it would have been if there werent so many kids rampaging around while their parents took no notice! We were hoping for some peace and relaxation at the end of our 3 week trip but we didn t stay at the resort much which was a shame as it s very beautiful and well kept.

|Oracle® Configuration Manager Prerequisites
Release 10.3.5
Part Number E22048-01
|PDF · Mobi · ePub
Release 10.3.5
June 2011
Before installing Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM), ensure that all the prerequisites are met:
Appropriate Internet connection information is available (to the Internet or to a Support Hub), if using OCM in connected mode.
If you configure OCM in connected mode, you will need to know how OCM will connect to Oracle in order to upload the collected data. The default option is to have OCM connect directly to the Internet. OCM supports three connection methods:
Direct connection (using port 443)
Connection using a proxy server (either with or without user authentication). If a proxy server is being used, you must supply the host name (or IP address) and port number of the proxy server. If the proxy server requires authentication, you will also need the connection credentials for the proxy (user name and password).
Connection using a Support Hub. Using this method, the server on which OCM is installed does not need a connection to the Internet, but rather only the ability to reach the internal server on which the Support Hub is deployed. If a Support Hub is being used, you must supply the URL and port of the Support Hub. You will also need the proxy server information if a proxy server is required to access the Support Hub.
Note that if you configure OCM in disconnected mode, connection information is not required.
A supported JDK or JRE has been installed.
OCM requires JDK or JRE 1.2.2 or greater on UNIX platforms (including Linux), and JDK or JRE 1.3.1 or greater on Windows. However, if using OCM with an Oracle Support Hub, you must use JDK or JRE 1.4 or greater.
If a supported JDK or JRE is not present in the ORACLE_HOME, but a valid JDK or JRE is present in another directory, you must define the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to that directory.
If installing OCM 10.3 or higher: You have your My Oracle Support ID and either (a) the associated password for that My Oracle Support ID, or (b) a Customer Support Identifier (CSI) registered for that My Oracle Support account.
When configuring Oracle Configuration Manager 10.3 or higher, the default setup method requires your My Oracle Support ID (formerly known as MetaLink ID) and password for the configuration data collected to be accessible or usable by you in My Oracle Support.
Optionally (recommended for My Oracle Support accounts with more than one CSI in their profile), you can specify a My Oracle Support ID, CSI, and the country code associated with that CSI (the country in which the CSI was issued).
If you have any problems with registration or are uncertain about your country code, log into My Oracle Support for assistance.
For more information on installing or configuring OCM, see:
Alternatively, there is a dedicated page for the latest OCM documentation located in the My Oracle Support - Collector home page.
Ensure that you are using OCM on a supported platform and supported software product.
Oracle Configuration Manager supports installation on the following platforms and collecting configuration data for the following software product versions:
Sun Solaris on SPARC (32-bit and 64-bit)
Sun Solaris on x86 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Linux x86 (32-bit and 64-bit)

Linux on PowerPC
IBM zSeries Based Linux
HP-UX PA-RISC (32-bit and 64-bit)
HP-UX Itanium

Microsoft Windows: 2000, XP, Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit), 2008, Vista, NT, other Win 32 platforms

There are plenty of people in Washington looking out for the billion dollar corporations and lobbying for Wall Street. I've been an outsider, but for years, I've been fighting for middle class families, taking on big banks, putting forward new ideas, and working to turn those ideas into a reality that makes a difference for people. That's what I'll keep doing once I'm in the U.S. Senate. I'll be there fighting for small businesses and middle class families.
I want you to know what I believe, where I stand, and what I'll fight for as your United States Senator. I want to help rebuild America's middle class. I want people who work hard and play by the rules to have real opportunities to get ahead. I want us to build a better tomorrow for ourselves and our children.
During the Great Depression and the years after World War II, our country made two remarkable decisions. First, in a boom-and-bust world, we created a basic set of fair rules that ended the financial panics and provided almost a half-century of economic stability and growth. Second, we invested in ourselves and our children, creating the basic building blocks for a strong middle class and a strong economy: education, roads and bridges, mass transit and rail, water and sewage, research, and energy. It worked. America's middle class prospered. We celebrated success, but we always paid ahead, making sure that the basic ingredients would be in place so the next generation could do even better.
But about a generation ago, Washington turned in a different direction and changed the rules.
Financial cops were taken off the beat, and government regulators began to work for those they were supposed to regulate. We fought wars we didn't pay for, recklessly piling on debt. Powerful companies got subsidies, and ordinary families and small businesses had to pick up the burden. We didn't repair our roads and bridges, and we cut back on research. We stopped investing in our future.
We now face a serious choice about what kind of people we are and what kind of country we are going to build.
Are we going to be a country that continues to subsidize old industries like big oil that are already profitable? Or are we going to be a country that invests in the future, like education and clean energy?
Are we going to be a country that continues to provide giveaways to the big banks that brought down the economy? Or are we going to hold them accountable and help level the playing field so that middle class families can build a future?
Are we a country that believes, "I got mine, and the rest of you are on your own?" Or are we a country that believes that we make investments in our future so that we can thrive and our kids can do better than we do?
I believe we must be a country with a level playing field, where everyone willing to work hard has a chance get ahead. We need laws and regulations that hold even powerful interests accountable, not laws that tangle up entrepreneurs, small businesses, and families that can't hire an army of lawyers. We must be a country investing in opportunity--in first-class education, in basic infrastructure, in 21st century manufacturing, and in research. This is what defined America once and it can again.

El Pinguino Run is a running game for your Windows Phone 8 devices that places the legendary bounty hunter, El Pinguino, in a position to save Mexico.
Apparently all the avocados are disappearing leaving the world without guacamole, taco, or burritos. El Pinguino must collect avocados and defeat the bad guys in this 2D platformer.
While the story line is a little out there, El Pinguino Run is a fast paced game for your Windows Phone 8 device that will keep you on your toes.
The main menu for El Pinguino Run is simple and straight forward. You have options to jump into the game, access the store where you can purchase bonus items with your taco points, skins and skills upgrades, as well as viewing your gaming stats. The game screen has your score and taco total displayed in the upper left corner and a tally of items collected in the upper right. The stats do blend in a lot with the colorful scenery of the game, making it a little hard to pick up on at a glance.
You control El Pinguino by swiping at the screen. He is constantly running and the swipes allow him to jump over holes, duck to avoid projectiles, and throw maracas to take out the bad guys. You do get a few on-screen warnings to help you avoid danger but if you look away from the screen for just a second, you run the risk of missing a jump, duck or throw that keeps El Pinguino safe from harm.
As you run the course, you'll collect avocados, tacos (that can be used in the store) and other bonus type items. The goal, make it as far as you can by running the streets or rooftops or the city, collecting as much as you can.
Once you get the swipes down to control El Pinguino, game play can be somewhat challenging. Graphics are nice and overall El Pinguino Run isn't too shabby of a running/platform game for your Windows Phone 8 device.
El Pinguino Run is a free, ad-supported game that you can find here in the Windows Phone Store.

Georgia school shooter's brother says he changed as a teen
ATLANTA >> The 20-year-old man who police say went to an Atlanta-area school heavily armed and exchanged gunfire with officers before surrendering was a normal kid growing up, but began to change as a teenager and engage in behavior that was threatening to others, his brother said.
Tim Hill told CNN's Piers Morgan on Thursday that when he and Michael Brandon Hill were growing up, he was "like any other kid," playing outside and in the woods.
But Tim Hill added, "Once he started hitting his teenage years, something happened with him. Everything just started changing after doctors started messing with his medicines here and there, and changing them up and putting him on a different one and institutionalizing him multiple times to correct his medicine. It just escalated from there."
He said Michael Hill set fire to the family's home when eight people were inside sleeping — the fire was discovered before it spread — and at another point their mother awoke to find him standing over her with a butcher's knife.
"My stepfather and mother ended up having to lock up...like all the knives in the trunk of the car, just to protect everybody in the home," Tim Hill told Morgan.
Tim Hill also confirmed that his brother threatened his life on Facebook, prompting him to call police. He said he feared for his life.
The older brother's comments came two days after a school bookkeeper helped persuade Michael Hill to surrender to police following a frightening standoff and shooting Tuesday at Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur, a suburb east of Atlanta.
Police and school officials said that school bookkeeper Antoinette Tuff helped avert a tragedy after she was taken captive by Hill. He went to the school armed with an AK 47-style rifle and nearly 500 rounds of ammunition, police said.
Lines of young students raced out of the building with police and teachers escorting them to safety, recalling the chaotic scene last December outside a Connecticut elementary school, where a gunman killed 20 students and six educators.
On a recording of a 911 call released Wednesday, Tuff can be heard relaying messages from Hill to DeKalb County emergency dispatcher Kendra McCray before convincing the gunman to surrender. She tells the dispatcher that Hill said he wasn't there to hurt the children but wanted to talk to an unarmed officer.
"He said, 'Call the probation office in DeKalb County and let them know what's going on,"' Tuff is heard telling the dispatcher. "He said he should have just went to the mental hospital instead of doing this, because he's not on his medication."
No one was injured, but police said the suspect shot into the floor and exchanged gunfire with officers who had surrounded the school, which has 870 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. With bullets flying, Tuff urged him to come back inside and give up.
"I knew (police) were gonna kill him. And I knew he was not in his right state of mind," she told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Thursday night.
On the program, she had a tearful on-air reunion with McCray, the dispatcher who stayed on the phone with her as she reassured Hill that surrendering peacefully was the right thing to do. Tuff also received a call in the network's makeup room from President Barack Obama. She said Obama wanted her to know how proud he was of her.
"You can't get any better when you have a great leader in front of you," a beaming Tuff is shown telling the president.
Time and again, Tuff stressed that her faith got her through the episode.
"That was nobody but God's grace and mercy, because I can truly tell you I was terrified inside," she said.
She said she was praying the entire time she talked with Hill, asking God what she should say.
McCray said she was frightened, too, particularly when Tuff began telling her Hill was getting agitated.
"I had to put my phone on mute (and say), 'Hey, he's getting agitated. We have got to move."'
Tuff is "a true hero," McCray said on the program. "You did so great. I've never had a caller where the caller was so calm and so confident in what they were saying and so personable. You made my job a whole lot easier."
Hill is charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, terroristic threats and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Police declined to discuss what he told them when questioned.
Police on Wednesday released an undated photo of Hill posing with an assault rifle that they believe is the one used at the school.
Authorities said Hill got the gun from an acquaintance, but it's not clear if he stole it or had permission to take it. His motive is still unclear.
Tim Hill expressed frustration that authorities hadn't done more to deal with his brother's mental condition before Tuesday. He said he doesn't believe his brother would have harmed Tuff or the schoolchildren.
"I don't think he was there to do that," Tim Hill said of his brother. "He's always had a problem with the cops."
Tuff told Cooper she'd like to visit Hill and speak with him again.
"He's a hurting soul, and so if there's any kind of way I can help him and allow him to get on the right path — we all go through something," she said during the interview.

In other words, there is more to this attack of France Paris, than to what the human eye can see or intellect can understand – its based on the Antichrist rule of law – in his name innocent human blood must be sacrificed
Needless to say, this is a needed process world wide or a requirement Hebrew/Christian Israel.
Once again, in his secret name David the Jewish Moshiach/Egyptian David Benu innocent blood must be shed, another eye opener to innocent blood to be shed was seen in the Film Little Nicky,

Hold Me Mixing Bowls – Melamine
One of the most important features of a mixing bowl is to be able to grip it and keep it sturdy during use. The only real way to get a grip on a standard bowl is to put your entire arm around it and more or less give it a hug. I've decided to make whisking, mixing and stirring easier for you by adding a handle to my bowl set, not to mention a handy pouring spout. It is super easy to pour from the bowls as you can hold the handle with just one hand and steady the receiving container with your spare hand.
There also won't be any bouncing or sliding when your bowl is on the bench because we've applied a non-slip base to the bottom of the bowl. And one more thing… quarts, cups and litre measurements are imprinted on the inside of the bowls so you can measure then mix your ingredients all in the one place. How about that?
Product Features
Mixing and measuring all sorts of ingredients. I've even received feedback from people who serve up salads in their bowls because they think they look pretty great as a centerpiece on the table.

Anaheim Sweater Concepts
Today I've got a number of sweater designs sent in by readers to share with you — specifically for the Anaheim Ducks. Interestingly, none of them features a redesigned logo or color scheme. So have a look.
This first set is all about unique striping patterns and I'm a fan — especially the orange one.
The next one is simpler with a little less originality than what we just saw but I'm sure traditionalists would love it.
And this one is another example of why the Ducks would look good in orange — except you obviously can't have gold numbers on the back of it.
The next two are sort of an upgrade to the current uniforms.
I definitely think the wordmark needs to get off of the chest.
And these two are just examples of gold jerseys — probably not the best of ideas.
Lastly we have a black jersey with some simple striping and the team name down the right arm.
Some of these are pretty bad but it could be worse. They could keep wearing what they have now.

June 27, 2012
I'm a freshman majoring in Animation and Visual Effects in the Digital Media Program, Westphal College, at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Today was my second day on a 10 week STAR Scholars Fellowship using archaeological evidence. The majority of my time will be spent modeling virtual furniture appropriate for the virtual interpretation of the 18th century Dexter House which was excavated in Independence National Historical Park. To better understand how the house may have been furnished Jason Kirk, Professor Muschio and I today visited the park to meet with Chief Curator, Karie Diethorn; Chief Historian and Park Archaeologist, Jed Levin and Deborah Miller, Park Archaeologist, to seek advice and guidance regarding appropriate furnishings.
Being new to the project, I didn't have much to contribute to the meeting, other than take in all the information that was being communicated. The main discussion centered on where to find artifacts of the time period to use as models for Dexter house furnishings. I was impressed by the excitement and passion all expressed toward the project. The collaboration quickly came together as ideas flew back and forth, developing what would be in the house, and how it might look. Field trips to historical sites and museums were planned to study suitable furnishings. The project still has a long way to go, but hopefully we can give people a historically accurate glimpse into the past using today's technology and the expertise of Park archaeologists, curators and historians.

Projects that start construction this year and come online by the end of 2012 are eligible for a cash grant covering 30% of their costs. A new bill, introduced in February by Earl Blumenauer, a US Congressman from Oregon for the centre-left Democratic Party, would extend the construction-start deadline to the end of 2012, something the industry has been pushing for. But it would also convert the cash grant to a refundable tax credit.
The reason for the change is that there is little support in the House Committee on Appropriations, which has jurisdiction over the grants, to add to spending at a time when the Obama administration's latest budget proposal projects a $1.56 trillion deficit in 2010. The new legislation puts authority in the hands of the Committee on Ways and Means, which is in charge of taxation programmes.
"The mood has turned very dark in Washington," Keith Martin, a partner at law firm Chadbourne & Parke, told delegates at Infocast's recent Wind Power Finance and Investment conference in San Diego, California. "It's hard to get additional spending and they want to find a way to extend it without that."
Martin explained: "The way the new system works is that the government would pretend that the owner of a new wind farm overpaid his income taxes by 30%, which would then allow the owner to apply for a refund from the Internal Revenue Service."
The benefit would be the same as the cash grant, but the change adds a number of complications. Currently, developers apply for the grant once their project is completed and receive a cheque from the government within 60 days. The quick turnaround has made bankers comfortable enough to lend against the promise of the grant to give developers the money they need to build the project. Under a tax-refund programme, the wait is longer.
"If I'm a lender and I'm going to get paid 60 days after the project is completed, I'm going to go ahead and make that bridge loan. The risk there is not so bad. But if I have to wait a year or so for you to get the money back from the government on your tax return, that's a different risk profile," said Ed Zaelke, another partner at Chadbourne and Parke. "Our friend in Oregon is trying (his best), but we've taken half a step back if this legislation passes."
There is also no guarantee that developers will be refunded the full 30%. "The government will not make refunds if you owe money to other government agencies or to the IRS and, in some cases, to state agencies," said Martin.
At the same time, though, experts agree that finding a way to give the industry two more years of cash payments is going to be key to keeping its momentum going. "Everybody I think would just prefer to extend the grant for two years, but that doesn't seem to be being offered right now," said John Eber, managing director for energy investments at JP Morgan Capital Corporation. "It looks good to me in the sense that the industry can get two more years of a similar type of programme."
Tax credit choice
Without that extra two years, projects that start construction in 2011 or 2012 have the choice of either taking an investment tax credit (ITC), which allows them to deduct 30% of the capital cost of the wind farm in the year the project came into service, or a $0.022/kWh production tax credit (PTC), which is paid out on the actual energy produced over the first ten years of a project's life. The problem is that most project developers lack the tax appetite to use either incentive, forcing them to go out and find equity investors who can. The bottom fell out of that market as the global financial crisis took hold in autumn 2008 and, although so-called tax equity investors are starting to return to the market, they are limited in what they can do.
"I think the industry would be in tough shape if they don't extend this," said Eber. "There is just not enough tax equity to handle all the PTCs and ITCs that could be coming next year."
Blumenauer's bill has the support of the chair of the Ways and Means Committee, said Martin, although whether it will get to a vote in the full House of Representatives is not certain. The path to the Senate is also unclear, he added. "The Senate Tax Committee staff are saying they just don't have a view yet on whether the cash grant programme should be extended," he said. "They want to see some of the results before taking a position."
One thing the industry should not expect is a resolution before October, said Zaelke. "Congress likes the stimulative effect of us not knowing what our future is going to be, so we're all going to work very hard this year to get projects in the ground and create jobs," he said. "If they told us too soon, we'd relax and do those projects in 2011 and 2012."

Invasive Species Resources

USDA. FS. Northern Research Station.
In addition to cleaning the air and water, forests hold a tremendous amount of sequestered carbon. When trees die and then decay on the forest floor, that carbon is released into the atmosphere, a phenomenon that is one of the drivers of climate change. A first-of-its-kind study by a team that included the United States Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and Purdue University scientists finds that non-native invasive insects and diseases are reducing the amount of carbon stored in trees across the United States. The study, "Biomass losses resulting from insect and disease invasions in USA forests," is available at: https://www.nrs.fs.fed.us/pubs/58371.

I was recently asked how it feels to be a Shodan – does it feel any different?
It does feel a bit different, now that I'm in the front row. But still I look back.
I look back on the days when I first started at this Dojo as a Brown Belt (3rd Kyu), after having taken such a long break. I was frustrated because I didn't remember Karate to be particularly difficult, but so many things had changed: the stances were different than I was used to; I was now required to learn Japanese commands; basics were no longer in full stance, they were in High Kamae; Katas wouldn't stick and YouTube was a constant source of information. I was trying to regain the knowledge I once had, and learning that Karate is a skill one acquires over a very long period of time; some make it look easy, but it certainly takes a lot of hard work to make it appear that way.
It took months before I felt any degree of confidence, and a year before the movements started to feel natural. Later still, Gradings would come and go and I wasn't on the list; every class was frustrating for me and there were times I considered finding a better way to spend my time.
Gradually things were coming back to me, and I began to remember why I had once loved this sport so much. My name started to appear on grading lists (and I passed!), I stopped doubting myself and looking at others to see if I my technique was correct, or if I was in the right stance in a Kata (by the way, never do that – it causes doubt and you're surely going to mess up). My fear of being alone on the floor with everyone watching began to fade, and finally I felt like I deserved to be standing in a senior position as 1st Kyu.
When my Shodan Grading was announced I immediately felt anxious, which soon turned into feelings of 'lets just get this over with and move on!' By the time my Grading night arrived I was ready, and when I entered the building I was a 1st Kyu who had trained her butt off for the opportunity to grade for Shodan and loved (almost) every minute of it.
I feel like I've crossed a threshold of sorts. I'm on the other side and can relax, learn new Katas and enjoy this wonderful sport without constantly thinking of the next grading.
So in short, yes it feels different. But I think that feeling has been slowly evolving over the years and didn't just change on February 24 at 8:20pm.

I like that! Might have to steal it from you :-)
It's great that you still look back. My philosophy is this: you can and do learn from everyone. Keep looking back - and forward and around - because that's part of the learning, too. Onward and upward, I say...
Keep on keepin' on...
Thanks Felicia - you can steal it if you like, it certainly applies to our situations as new Shodans!ReplyDelete

Line Marking for Sports Clubs
Fleet Line Markers Ltd. is a company based in Worcestershire, England. They manufacture paints and machinery for marking lines, primarily on sports surfaces, such as natural grass, synthetic and hard/asphalt surfaces.
25 years' experience in line marking machines
"Generally, we are manufacturers and innovators! We supply our range of machinery and paints to all levels involved with sport. Our customer base includes Manchester City FC, Manchester United FC, Bolton Wanderers, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid to name but a few. As well as professional clubs, we deal with local authorities, private contractors, schools, universities, colleges, rugby clubs, etc." explains Fleet's European Sales Manager.
Fleet invested in the Graco G-Max 7900HD as part of the development of their "zoning" paint called Hard Surface Coating (HSC). "This product meets the anti-slip requirements of the LTA, ITF and SAPCA. Due to the nature of the paint and its components, we needed an application method that was effective, reliable and relatively easy to use and maintain."
A stunning result!
A good customer of Fleet, a private school near Southampton, was interested in the "zoning" paint for their four netball courts and three practice "D"s. They had the HSC paint on trial on another court for close to two years. The trial court was still looking good, so Fleet revisited the product, improving it to meet the requirements and invested in a Graco machine so they could check that the new, improved version would perform when being applied with an Airless Sprayer.
On completion of the paint development, Fleet proceeded to spray the netball areas and practice "D"s with Fleet's HSC using the Graco G-Max 7900HD. The court areas were sprayed in blue and the surrounding areas were sprayed in green HSC. Each court area had a tennis court marked in red and netball lines marked in white. The end result was absolutely stunning!
The work was carried out in August, on possibly the hottest day of 2012. Ideal! It was so hot that the paint started to "skin" in the container under the machine. As Fleet was worried about the "skinning" finding its way to the suction pump, they made a lid for the paint container to overcome this potential problem. Two coats were applied at 90 degrees of each other. Once the "zoning" was completed and dry, the red tennis lines and the white netball lines were marked using the BeamRider Laser System to apply PMF paint.
The G-Max 7900HD was recommended by Graco after Fleet had sent a sample of HSC to them to check which machine would handle it most efficiently. Fleet decided to purchase a machine for their own use and also rent it to their customers who wish to spray their HSC paints.

CANASTOTA, N.Y. - Boosted so she could reach the microphone and speak on a most special day for her late father, 7-year-old Sofia Gatti beamed.
"Thank you from my dad," she said Sunday as Arturo "Thunder" Gatti was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
On a day that included six deceased inductees, Gatti remained fresh on the mind of everybody, especially his longtime manager Pat Lynch.
"It's a tremendous accomplishment for Arturo. This little girl here shall have this memory forever," said Lynch, who fought back tears when he spoke. "It was so great to see his mom and all of them come down to celebrate such a brilliant career. It's a truly deserving award for him. I know he's looking down with a big smile on his face."
Also inducted were: Virgil "Quicksilver" Hill, a five-time world champion who won a silver medal at the 1984 Olympics and defended his light heavyweight title 20 times over his two reigns; two-time light flyweight champion Yuh Myung-woo of South Korea; lightweight Wesley Ramey and middleweight Jeff Smith in the old-timer (posthumous) category; 19th century Irish boxer Joe Coburn in the pioneer category; referee Mills Lane, whose "Let's get it on" prefight chant endeared him to boxing fans; ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr.; manager Arturo "Cuyo" Hernandez; cartoonist Ted Carroll; and journalist Colin Hart.
Inductees were selected by the Boxing Writers Association and a panel of international boxing historians.
Born in Calabria, Italy and raised in Montreal, Gatti moved to Jersey City, New Jersey, as a teenager. He retired in 2007 with a record of 40-9 with 31 knockouts and won titles in two divisions.
Gatti died at age 37 in Brazil in July 2009. His body was found at an apartment that he had rented with his wife and their infant son in a seaside resort. Police initially held Gatti's wife as a suspect, but eventually released her and concluded Gatti hung himself from a staircase railing using a handbag strap.
He was selected for the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
"He always used to say to us, 'Do you think I'm going to be in the Hall of Fame?' " Lynch said. "I said, 'Of course. They can't stop you from being in the Hall of Fame. You're deserving.' It's just a great celebration."
"Irish" Micky Ward had three memorable bouts with Gatti. Ward won his first junior welterweight fight against Gatti, blood streaming down his face as he captured a majority decision in May 2002. Gatti avenged the loss in Atlantic City, New Jersey, knocking down Ward in the third with a punch that shattered one of Ward's eardrums and sent him face-first into a stanchion. Gatti broke his right hand in the fight and won a unanimous 10-round decision.
Gatti triumphed over Ward with a 10-round decision in the rubber match in June 2003, and it was another brutal slugfest. It wasn't a title fight but had that feel as a raucous sellout crowd of 12,643 — the largest ever for a non-heavyweight fight in Atlantic City — packed Boardwalk Hall.
Gatti was in control for most of the bout, outpunching Ward and never allowing him to get close enough to throw one of his signature left hooks to the body. Bleeding from an early pounding, Ward rallied after Gatti reinjured the right hand he'd broken seven months earlier.
Over the last four rounds the exhausted fighters stood toe-to-toe, teeing off on one another. After the fight, the two shared a bottle of water and hugged, then went to Atlantic City Medical Center, where they lay side by side in the emergency room while being treated.
Small wonder that Ward was touched on this day.
"It's funny how I became great friends with him," said Ward, who spoke briefly. "Even though he beat me, I miss him to death every day. I know he's here. I'm just happy for his family. I'm proud of him like you wouldn't believe. With the people being here and his family and friends and his daughter being here, it made it worthwhile."
The 76-year-old Lane, who suffered a stroke in 2002 that left him partially paralyzed and unable to speak, was helped onstage by his two sons. Lane, who refereed the infamous "bite fight" between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, waved triumphantly to the crowd, holding aloft his new ring and smiling broadly.
"This is the happiest I've seen him, which is so important," Tommy Lane said. "We'll treasure this the rest of our lives. Let's get it on!"
Touched, too, by the moment, Lennon credited his dad, a ring announcer for nearly a half-century, with his success. Lennon, who began his career as a backup to his father at the Olympic Auditorium and the Forum in Los Angeles before moving to Showtime in 1991, said it felt odd getting inducted before his dad and made a pitch for that to happen.
"He used to tell me what I did well instead of what I did wrong," Lennon said. "When his health was failing and he was in the hospital and not able to get the fights on TV, he would be on the phone with my mom on the other end holding her receiver up to the television so he could at least hear me announce."

In Developer.com's latest article, they continue their series (part 1) of working with PHP5's object system to create an abstraction layer, specifically a database layer.
In the prior article, PHP 5 OOP: Interfaces Abstract Classes and the Adapter Pattern, I presented an interface for abstracting database access from the actual database. The article also presented code for accessing a database.
In this article you will learn to expand upon the functionality you built from the first article in order to show how to protect your data using visibility modifiers.
They start with a look at some of the "accessibility modifiers" that PHP5 has to offer - like private or public - in it's object model. They define them in the context of their database class as well, demonstrating how both variables and classes can be marked this way. After this, it's all about the code, looking first at preparing the SQL query, then validate the SQL before sending it off to the last step - executing the query and fetching the results (if needed).
