TSW #30 - JeffR - 04-10-2012 06:59 PM Read the full article on the blog. Hugh Hewitt, Washington Examiner, April 8:
Though the damage done is mostly ignored by the Obamalytes of the Manhattan-Beltway media elite, still obsessed with Mitt Romney's occasional verbal twitch (think "two Cadilacs" and the $10,000 bet), the events of the past two weeks will return again and again in the months ahead to frame the campaign. ____________________ Hewitt's ostensible focus here is on what he describes as "… President Obama's erratic behavior of the past two weeks…" but that's simply cover for yet another set of Hewitt's stolid, uncreative variations on a very stale theme, that "Obama is in over his head" (or "o-double-i-o-double-h" in Hewitt-speak). Rather than offering any convincing examples of "erratic behavior," Hewitt is content to simply rhyme off a series of unrelated things, wildly mischaracterizing them for maximum effect. Thus we're confronted with howlers such as "Obama easily sees and raises Romney on the minor gaffe front…" and " the president's constitutionally illiterate description of the Supreme Court's powers and authority" and "… a speech bordering on hysteria to the Associated Press" and Hewitt's sublimely silly description of President Obama's comment to Dmitry Medvedev, picked up on an open mic, as "chilling and sinister." One paragraph, however, stands out as a small masterpiece of political spin: Slow Joe Biden contributed an 11-minute-long answer to a ten-second question on why gas prices were so high, and suddenly, "He is risen indeed" seemed less a celebration of the Easter miracle than an assessment of what it would take for Obama to win back the shattered confidence of a country.Not a word of truth there (in fact, it's cartoonish), but it's masterfully composed propaganda and you just know that every hardcore, dyed-in-the-wool conservative true believer who read it nodded in eager agreement, and got a racy little chuckle out of it besides. Following that balletic gem, Hewitt promptly gets his foot caught in this metaphorical bucket and clunks to the finish line: After the past two weeks, we have to wonder whether he hasn't dragged the country so far down into the sea with him as to prevent a necessary return to surface for some desperately needed gasps of air.Hewitt's republication of the Examiner piece on his own blog makes his intentions even clearer. It's accompanied by a photo of President Obama using some awkward body English to influence a golf ball he's just hit. Yup, that raffish do-nothing Barack Obama is just golfing his way through his presidency, and not even golfing well. He's not up to the job, folks, so he's amusing himself on your dime until Mitt Romney sends him packing this fall. Hewitt missed a little something about the photo, though. The President's shirt doesn't seem to fit right, his feet look way too big, and he appears ready to fold up on himself like a recalcitrant lawn chair. Now, Barack Obama could fall off a Segway while choking on a pretzel and still never be mistaken for George W. Bush, but there is something, well, just a bit Bushian about the pose and the golf course setting. So is he subtly comparing Barack Obama to his predecessor in office? It might seem so, but Hewitt would see the comparison as denigrating to George W. Bush, who, in Hewitt's weird parallel universe, is a heroic figure: Bush is deeply loved by the military. In wartime, that is among the most important measures…A century? Perish the thought! I'm marveling right now, and I'll bet Barack Obama is too, as he continues the monumental task of undoing the results of Bush's restraint and remarkable service to freedom. RE: TSW #30 - SeattleGirl - 04-10-2012 07:33 PM Good grief, but that man is seriously delusional! Thanks JeffR! Always look forward to these. RE: TSW #30 - jaxx - 04-10-2012 07:45 PM Remind me to not read Hughie Hewitt. He sounds like a rabid RWNJ extraordinaire. Thanks Jeff, now we know the kind of inane crap we'll be seeing from those who make up things. |

President Barack Obama's newfound desire to meet rank-and-file Republican lawmakers may be more about politics than pact-making, House Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy suggested Sunday.
Last week, Obama took a dozen Republican lawmakers to dinner in Washington, and later invited House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan for lunch at the White House. Next week he'll head to Capitol Hill for meetings with the full GOP coalitions in both the House and the Senate, as well as the entire Democratic caucus in each chamber.
That's a shift from Obama's past strategy of dealing almost exclusively with the congressional GOP leadership, which includes McCarthy as the No. 3 House Republican, behind House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
Speaking on CNN's "State of the Union," the California Republican said that while the latest "charm offensive" was welcome, it was coming too late in Obama's presidency.
"I believe anytime both parties are talking it's a good thing. Now, this should have happened four years ago," McCarthy told CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley. "I'm glad it's happening now. But is this about politics, or is this genuine? Only time will tell."
Citing Obama's frequent trips outside Washington to promote his policy agenda, McCarthy said, "The president always likes to play politics, so I think he'll continue to play that political game."
Whether engaging in a game or not, Obama and Republicans continue to face serious differences in their plans to reduce the federal debt through spending cuts and revenue increases. Each party has sought to pin the blame on the other side for the automatic spending cuts that kicked in on March 1 when no deficit reduction deal was in place.
Obama's bid to publicly engage the GOP comes after members of both parties complained he hadn't made enough of an effort to personally meet lawmakers. McCarthy said Sunday it was still too early to determine whether the latest effort would suffice.
"I haven't seen him talk to enough people yet," McCarthy said, adding the president "doesn't know that many people in the House. He knows more people in the Senate because he served there for a few years."
Whether the outreach is a good faith attempt at reaching across the aisle, or simply a bid to appear more conciliatory, remains to be seen, McCarthy said.
"Is this about winning the House or is this about governing for all of America?" he asked, looking ahead to the 2014 midterm elections, which will be the next opportunity for Democrats to regain control of the lower chamber of Congress.
Republicans have accused Obama of being overly focused on those contests, which aren't for another year and a half. With the current balance of power in the House, Democrats would need 17 seats to win back the majority in 2014.
Last week, White House press secretary Jay Carney dismissed charges Obama was singularly focused on electing Democrats to office.
"It goes without saying the president wants those in his party to do well, but it's not a focus of his, particularly, at this point," Carney said Monday. "He is focused on trying to get a bipartisan consensus around some very important policy objectives."

text: Light Allium montanum continental : Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of solar rays. alpine : These plants love very sunny positions, which are directly exposed to sunrays even for many hours a day. mediterranean : These plants can be placed in a very bright place, possibly sunny, directly under the solar rays for a few hours a day. continental : The Allium montanum needs very frequent watering; during this period of the year we advise watering even every 0-1 weeks using 4-5 glasses of water, trying to keep the substratum always slightly damp. alpine : We advise frequent watering, every 1-2 weeks using 3-4 glasses of water, so that the soil is always a bit humid. mediterranean : The watering must be very regular and frequent, using 5-6 glasses of water, so that the soil is always slightly damp, avoiding excesses and water stagnation. A good rule is to wet every 0-0 weeks. Fertilize Allium montanum : Bulbous plants need fertilizing in the summer only if theyre still vegetating, many bulbous plants in fact in this period of the year are in a vegetative rest. Every 10-15 days lets irrigate with a solution enriched with a specific fertilizer for those bulbs which still have a brilliant foliage in full development. Pests Allium montanum : During the summer months it is best to apply precise treatments, specifically against each type of parasite, to be used only when we have already noticed the presence of fungus or insects on our plants; these treatments should be applied during the coolest hours of the day. In general during this period of the year an infesting of ticks and rust is very likely to occur, because its development is favoured by dry climates. |

Earlier today at Korakuen Hall, Rajadamnern Stadium Super Lightweight champion Hiroki Ishii defended his title for the second time with a 1st round knockout of Plynoi Por. Paoin at 1:54. Ishii (57-12-10, 27 KO) first won the Rajadamnern Stadium title last October with a decision over Aphisak KT Gym and defended it in March against Kenfang Por. Puangchon, also by decision. He is now riding an 8 fight winstreak and is 12-2 since 2009, fighting all Thai opposition in that time.
In other action, prospect Mutsuki Ebata kept his hype train rolling with a 1st round TKO via cut of 8th ranked Rajadamnern Stadium Flyweight Jomphet Chuwattana. Ebata (17-1-1, 12 KO) was coming off of a win over Arashi Fujiwara, avenging his sole pro loss and has now won 7 in a row.

Aside from K-1's event yesterday in Los Angeles, there was some other notable kickboxing action in Merseburg, Germany at Merseburger Fight Night. Danyo Ilunga was among names featured in a one night, eight man heavyweight tournament and Gago Drago also returned to the ring to try and snap his eight fight losing streak.
Ilunga ended up winnin the heavyweight tournament but he only ended up having to fight twice. He defeated Wendell Roche in a rematch of their It's Showtime title fight back in December of 2010 by unanimous decision in the quarter finals. The other quarter final match-ups consisted of Slavo Polugic defeating Utley Meriana by unanimous decision, Senad Hadzic defeating Martin Jahn by corner stoppage in the second round and Uguz Ovgur took a decision over Vladimir Toktasynov.
In the first semi-final, Slavo Polugic pushed Senad Hadzic to the ground and soccer kicked him not once, but twice, resulting in a brawl in the ring between both camps. Both fighters were disqualified. Uguz Ovgur was injured so with Polugic and Hadzic disqualified, Ilunga ended up fighting Sergio Pique, who won his reserve bout over Jerry Otto via KO from a high kick, in the final. Ilunga ended up overwhelming Pique in the first round, winning by TKO.
Gago Drago faced Baker Barakat and after a competitive first three rounds, the fight went to an extra round. In the extra round, Drago pressured Barakat a bit more to secure the win and snap his eight fight losing streak.
Max Baumert of Golden Glory Berlin met the grizzled veteran, Marco Pique and took a unanimous decision in a close fight.

Earlier today, Krush held a day-night event for their 2012 Youth GP, with the day portion featuring the semifinals of the 70kg Youth GP and the night portion featuring the quarterfinals and semifinals of the 63kg Youth GP, with a few superfights on each card.
In the 63kg GP quarterfinals, DEEP*KICK 65kg Hiroto Yamaguchi started things off with a 2nd round knockout of MA Kick #2 Super Lightweight Minoru Kimura at 2:01. In the second quarterfinal, tournament favorite and 2011 runner-up Koya Urabe cruised to a 2nd round KO of his own, a body shot KO of 2011 quarterfinalist Kengo Sonoda at 2:37. In the third quarterfinal, 2011 quarterfinalist Daizo Sasaki took a majority decision win over K-1 Koshien 2011 runner-up Yuya on scores of 30-29(x2) and 29-29. In the final quarterfinal, the night's biggest upset took place, with the unheralded Hisaki Higashimoto knocking out Hiroya in his pro debut just 62 seconds into the first round.
In the first semifinal, Koya Urabe cruised to a unanimous decision over Hiroto Yamaguchi on scores of 30-28(x2) and 30-27. In the second semifinal, Hisaki Higashimoto remained unbeaten with an extension round split decision over Daizo Sasaki on scores of 10-9(x2) and 9-10.
The big story coming out of this tournament is of course Hisaki Higashimoto (2-0-0, 1 KO) making his pro kickboxing debut after a background in karate and knocking out Hiroya (11-6-0, 6 KO). I had thought Higashimoto would have trouble with Hiroya as Hiroya's biggest liability is his boxing defense and coming from a karate background, Higashimoto would have trouble exposing that, but he was able to. Another big story is his semifinal opponent, Daizo Sasaki (7-8-1, 2 KO), who had lost 4 in a row coming into this tournament but was able to get past a good prospect in Yuya (6-2-0, 6 KO) and take Higashimoto to an extension round. This was the night Sasaki needed to help revive his career. Good showing from Koya Urabe (22-4-0, 3 KO) who went in and did what he needed to do to get to the finals again. Good to see him get a stoppage against Kengo Sonoda (3-4-1, 0 KO) as it showed he had some urgency to finish his first round opponent in order to be fresh for the semifinals, something that had been lacking before. Hiroto Yamaguchi (9-2-0, 5 KO) can walk away proud from this event, having knocked out Minoru Kimura (8-2-1, 6 KO) to bounce back from his first career loss, despite being shutout by Urabe. The Kimura hype train takes another hit with a second straight loss, but both have come to other promising prospects in Sho Ogawa and now Hiroto Yamaguchi. I favor Urabe in the finals as he is the proven fighter, but if Higashimoto is able to score another upset or even fights Urabe close, we will have another exciting prospect in the 63kg division.
In the 70kg semifinals, 2009 K-1 Koshien 70kg champ Shintaro Matsukura needed an extension round to get past RISE 2011 KAMINARIMON 70kg champ Kazuya Akimoto, but came up big in the extension round, scoring a knockout at 1:14 in the round. Matsukura will meet Taisei Kondo in the finals as he took a semifinal win over JungleKoki via majority decision on scores of 29-28(x2) and 28-28. Matsukura (6-6-0, 5 KO) has taken some tough losses recently, though they have come against top competition, dropping fights to Yasuhiro Kido and TOMOYUKI. He struggled a bit with Akimoto (2-1-0, 1 KO) but ultimately came out on top. Kondo (5-2-2, 2 KO) definitely has a chance at beating a vulnerable Matsukura who has some defensive liabilities and can be a slow, plodding fighter at times. He needed a late knockdown to beat JungleKoki (5-3-0, 2 KO) and could find the same magic against Matsukura in the finals, but I give Matsukura the edge. The 70kg final will take place on November 10th at Krush.24 and I assume the 63kg final will as well.
In a superfight, NJKF Super Lightweight Seiji Takahashi knocked out Atsushi Ogata in the 1st round. Takahashi was coming off of a knockout loss to Tetsuya Yamato while Ogata most recently upset Toshiki Taniyama.

Yesterday at Lumpinee Stadium, a huge Muay Thai card took place with a ton of the top names in the sport.
In the main event, Saenchai took on Singdam for Singdam's Lumpinee Lightweight title. Prior to the fight, Saenchai looked as dominant as ever, with big wins over fighter of the year Penek Sitnumnoi and over Sagetdao Phetphayathai, who had given him a lot of trouble in the past. Despite having a three pound weight disadvantage at the weigh-ins, Saenchai was still the favorite to win. It was Singdam though, who defied the odds and beat Saenchai from range with powerful kicks. The way that Singdam won is the most surprising part, as usually no one can touch Saenchai from range but it was instead Saenchai being the aggressor in this fight. Singdam is now on a six fight win streak.
Aside from the main event, more top fighters in the same weight category as Saenchai and Singdam fought, as Sagetdao Phetphayathai took on Petboonchu F.A. Group. Everyone expected a clinch war and that's what the fight was. Petboonchu got the better of the action in the clinch and took a unanimous decision.
Another lightweight fight that took place was a rematch between F16 Rajanont and Diesellek Oodonmuang. Diesellek knocked out F16 with a high kick just last month. Diesellek got the better of the fight in the rounds that count most. F16 went for broke in the fifth and final round but Diesellek then countered with some vicious body kicks one after the other, stopping F16 and getting the TKO win.
In a rematch of their fight of the year candidate, Chokprecha Kor Sakooncher finally defeated Wanchalong Sitzornong on his fourth attempt. Chokprecha was more strategic and less wild then he usually fights. Rittidej Wor. Wanthavee defeated Palangtip Nor. Sripueng in what apparently was a snoozer.
Superlek Wor Sungprapai defeated Muangthai Sor Boonyiam by decision to win the Lumpinee 155 lb title. Fight of the night went to Sarawut Pithakpabhadiang and Wanchai Rambo-Esarn, with Sarawut with Sarawut picking up the decision in a war.
Damien Alamos is currently the only non-Thai champion of Lumpinee and he defended his title against Aranchai Pran26. Alamos dropped Aranchai early on in the fight and by the end of the fight, Aranchai's face was really busted up. Alamos got the decision win and becomes the first non-Thai to ever successfuly defend and retain a Lumpinee Stadium title.
Singdam Kiatmoo9 def. Saenchai by decision.

Add a commentMuay Thai Mania V went down yesterday in The Hague, Netherlands and the card was headlined by a rematch that was a long time in the making between L'houcine "Aussie" Ouzgni and Nieky Holzken.
In their first fight, Aussie quickly won in the first round with a flying knee back in 2010 at It's Showtime. Holzken had wanted this rematch for a long time, saying that he wasn't his best for the first fight. Well yesterday, Aussie won again, but this time by decision. It wasn't just a regular decision though, as the fight had to go to an extra round.
There were some other intriguing match-ups on the card, including the man who recently upset Robin van Roosmalen, Hafid el Boustati, who took on Shemsi Beqiri's brother, Hysni Beqiri. In another fight that had to go to an extra round, Hafid el Boustati won a decision.
Albert Kraus made his pro boxing debut and it was a success. His opponent from Romania, Valentin Cimpoero, could not continue after the third round so Kraus won by TKO. K-1 and SuperLeague veteran Aalviar Lima showed he still has some gas left in the tank as he stopped the Remy Bonjasky-trained Darryl Sichtman with a body shot. In other action, Fred Sikking defeated Hakan Aksoy by decision and Jason Wilnis defeated Louis Tavares, although the decision seems to have been hotly disputed. Thanks to FightStarTV for results.

The Taniyama Gym held its 10th installment of the Big Bang series at Differ Ariake in Tokyo earlier today, featuring top names like Yasuhiro Kido, Hirotaka Urabe, Shunta Ito and Hiromi Amada.
In the night's main event, Yasuhiro Kido filled his usual headlining role at Big Bang events, this time taking a unanimous decision over Yu Hirono on scores of 30-29(x3). Kido debuted a "new technique" that he dubbed Rokakato, which is essentially a heel to the side of the thigh. Kido (29-13-1, 14 KO) has now won 5 in a row and will likely sit out until the MAX finals on December 8th in Athens. While I don't expect him to win or even make it to the finals, this is a much improved Kido from the one who struggled towards the old K-1's end and could make waves in the tournament if he has good matchups. Hirono (16-7-1, 4 KO) had won 5 in a row heading into this bout, most recently against ShokieJungle at Krush-EX vol.4 in July.
In the co-main event at 58kg, former MA Kick champion Shunta Ito bounced back from a loss at Big Bang 9 with a unanimous decision win over Atsushi Tateshima on scores of 50-45(x3). Ito recently vacated his MA Kick title and lost a unanimous decision to Kaimookaw Watcharachai at Big Bang 9, snapping a 3-fight win streak.
Krush 60kg champ Hirotaka Urabe also participated at the event, stopping J-Network Super Featherweight champ Takaaki Kimura with a high kick at 2:17 of the first round. Urabe (17-6-2, 9 KO) has been on a roll, going unbeaten in his last 9 and scoring 5 knockouts, with the sole blemish being a draw in a title defense against Naoki Ishikawa. Urabe could possibly find himself fighting Ishikawa for a third time, but it depends on the outcome of the three matchups that were recently announced for Krush.23 and could potentially put Urabe in rematches with Ishikawa, Yuji Takeuchi and Fumiya Osawa. Kimura (22-19-1, 3 KO) isn't that bad, holding wins over Yosuke Mizuochi, Takashi Nakajima and Ryo Pegasus, but isn't quite on the level of guys like Urabe, as he has been blown out of the water by Urabe and MA Kick champ Hikaru Machida in recent outings.
In a rematch between K-1 veterans, Hiromi Amada scored a 2nd round knockout of Alex Roberts at 1:07. The two first fought at NJKF Titans Neo X almost exactly a year ago, with the fight ending in a draw. Amada (34-20-3, 17 KO) snapped 2-fight losing streak, with losses to Singh Jaideep and Fabiano "Cyclone" Aoki, with a 2 fight win streak, most recently defeating Soichi Nishida at Big Bang 9. Amada was recently announced as a participant on the October 14th K-1 card which features the FINAL 16 portion of their heavyweight tournament, though Amada will probably not be fighting for a spot in the finals. Roberts (10-4-2, 8 KO) most recently lost to Tomasz Sarara at the Hoost Cup and is now winless in his last 4.
In other bouts, RISE #1 ranked Middleweight Yukihiro Komiya improved to 2-0 at 65kg with a unanimous decision win, RISE #3 ranked Heavyweight Raoumaru scored a 2nd round knockout and RISE #1 ranked Bantamweight Dyki picked up a majority decision win.

Total Carnage II went down today in Gold Coast, Australia and featured a massive rematch between two of the world's best -95kg fighters under Muay Thai rules, Nathan "Carnage" Corbett and Steve McKinnon. The two met back in 2006 where Corbett won via controversial cut stoppage and the rematch has been a long time coming.
Corbett won again, this time getting the unanimous decision in a fight that everyone in Australia is saying lived up to the hype and then some. The fight apparently went at a torrid pace for heavyweights, with Corbett having the edge throughout most of the fight, being the agressor.
Also on the card, LiverKick #7 ranked middleweight Frank Giorgi took on late replacement, Rhyse Saliba, who stepped in for Nonsai. Giorgi controlled the whole fight and Rhyse didn't have much for him. Giorgi ended up winning a clear cut unanimous decision.
Michael "Tomahawk" Thompson took on the Thai fighter Kampan Santaweesok in what was by all accounts a very close fight. Kampan landed with hard kicks to the body and arms while Thompson landed most of his offense with punches. In the end, Thompson got the decision although I've seen people say that it should've gone Kampan's way.
Dane "Daddy Kool" Beauchamp rematched Joe Concha, who replaced Flip Street. Concha stopped Beauchamp back in February in a fight that Dane was winning right up until the final seconds of the last round. After a feeling out process in the first round, Concha once again stopped Beauchamp with an elbow, this time in the second round. Full results below:

Add a commentEarlier today at the Nagoya Congress Center in Nagoya, Krush held Krush.22 ~ in Nagoya~, its first event in Nagoya, featuring a 55kg title fight and five Tokyo vs Nagoya fights featuring Yuta Kubo, Yuya Yamato, Masaaki Noiri and Keiji Ozaki, among others.
In the night's main event, Krush 55kg champ Shota Takiya was given what turned out to be his toughest fight in some time against Takumi, but was able to win a unanimous decision on scores of 30-29(x3). Takiya (21-4-0, 13 KO) has now won 10 in a row and had won his last 5 by knockout heading into this fight. There's no telling what's next for Takiya, as Krush's 55kg division isn't that deep and unless they hold a 55kg tournament, they will have to go outside of the company to find legitimate opponents for Takiya. Takumi (12-3-0, 5 KO) did well in staying on his feet against the hard-hitting Takiya, but it wasn't enough. His effort here should be noted as he was able to hang with a guy I felt was head and shoulders above the rest of the Krush 55kg division.
In the Krush vs Nagoya headlining fight, ISKA Light Welterweight champion Yuta Kubo moved up to 66kg and scored a 2nd round knockout of WBC Japan and NJKF Welterweight champion Yuya Yamato 51 seconds into the round. Kubo (34-4-1, 16 KO) pushes his win streak to 11 and has slowly been climbing his way up in weight, fighting at 64.5kg and 65kg in his last two fights and now at 66kg. While this was a good step up in weight against good competition, Yamato often fights between 63kg and 67kg, so he wasn't the best test as far as bigger opponents go. Regardless, Kubo would be a welcome sight for
In the next Nagoya vs Tokyo fight, Nagoya's Masaaki Noiri took an easy win over Tokyo's Makihira Keita on scores of 30-27(x2) and 30-28. Noiri (13-3-0, 5 KO) picks up his first after his upset loss to Raz Sarkisjan back at the Hoost Cup in May which snapped a 6 fight win streak. As the reigning Youth Tournament champ, he awaits the winner of this year's tournament for a fight that will likely take place early next year. Keita is now 1-1-1 on the year.
In the final three Nagoya vs Tokyo fights, Nagoya fighters went 2-1 with Taito upsetting Keiji Ozaki by majority decision, Yuya defeating Shota Hayashi and Masayuki Isabashi losing to Junpei Aotsu, giving Nagoya the overall victory with 3 wins (Noiri, Taito, Yuya) to Tokyo's 2 (Kubo, Aotsu). The upset loss for Ozaki is huge as he's been a borderline challenger despite not having any significant wins recently and Taito had lost his last 3 bouts heading into this fight. This loss should end Ozaki's time as a legitimate title challenger.

Earlier today, Shootboxing held its fourth Girls S-Cup and third main Girls S-Cup tournament, as well as the finals of the 53.5kg Girls S-Cup and the JKS48 High School tournament at Yamano Hall in Tokyo.
In the main tournament, the quarterfinals started off with 2-time defending S-Cup champion Rena Kubota scoring a unanimous decision over Australia's Kim Townsend on scores of 30-25, 30-26 and 30-27. Rena scored shoot points in the first and second rounds while working her superior boxing, moving her into the semifinals. In the next semifinal, 2011 Girls S-Cup runner-up Seo Hee Ham took out late replacement Lisa Ellis by unanimous decision on scores of 30-26(x2) and 30-27. Ellis tried using the clinch to work her grappling, but Ham was just too much for her, scoring a knockdown in the second round and advancing to face Rena in the semis. In the other half of the bracket, 2009 S-Cup runner-up and 2010 semifinalist V.V Mei Yamaguchi needed an extension round, but was able to defeat Thai representative Namtarn Por Muangpetch by unanimous decision, winning the extension round 10-9 on all three cards. Namtarn wasn't able to keep V.V Mei away from her and resulted in Yamaguchi getting a shoot point in the second round and ultimately winning the extension round, despite not getting a shoot point. In the final quarterfinal, Holland's Lorena Klijn scored the night's biggest upset with an extension round win over 2011 S-Cup Preliminary tournament champ Erika Kamimura. Kamimura had a slight edge in the stand-up, but Klijn surprisingly used the clinch to her advantage and was able to score a shoot point in the extension round which was the difference.
In the semifinals, Rena needed an extension round to defeat Seo Hee Ham and make it to her third straight S-Cup final. The two were even throughout the course of 3 rounds, but in the extension round, Rena was able to separate herself from Ham and won the round on all 3 judges' cards. In the other semifinal, V.V Mei also needed an extension round to advance to her second S-Cup final with a win over Lorena Klijn. Both fighters looked to use their clinch game to advance, but Yamaguchi proved to be superior in that department, scoring a shoot point in the second round and two shoot points in the extension round, as well as a yellow card to Klijn, which secured the lopsided extension round win.
In a rematch of the first Girls S-Cup final in 2009, Rena proved her dominance in Shootboxing once again with a unanimous decision over V.V Mei on scores of 30-29(x3). Yamaguchi was not able to capitalize with her grappling against the experienced Rena, who used her superior stand-up to win her third straight Girls S-Cup.
While she has lost single fights in Shootboxing, including a big upset to Jessica Penne, Rena excels in tournaments and showed great stamina, fighting 10 rounds on the night against tough competition. She has a rematch with Erika Kamimura to defend her RISE Queen title at a yet to be determined date and should she win, the only options seem to be either a third fight with Ai Takahashi or a fight with the girl who beat Takahashi twice, Mizuki Inoue. For V.V Mei, this is huge. In my opinion, she was more of an afterthought for the tournament, as she was originally scheduled for this event, but not in the tournament field and was upset in the 2011 S-Cup preliminary tournament by Mina in the first round. Huge showing from her and she likely cemented her place in future Girls S-Cups to come. If there ever were an "elite-level gatekeeper", it would have to be Seo Hee Ham. In MMA, she owns wins over the likes of Hisae Watanabe, Saori Ishioka and V.V Mei, while her only losses have come to WMMA legends Miku Matsumoto, Megumi Fujii and Yuka Tsuji, with a pair of losses against undefeated prodigy and student of Fujii, Ayaka Hamasaki. In kickboxing and Shootboxing, she has beaten everyone thrown her way except for Erika Kamimura and now Rena. Kamimura and Klijn are probably the biggest stories to come out of this event. Kamimura was an unstoppable force on her rise to the top, knocking out nearly everyone who got in her path, both domestically and internationally, and was favored to meet Rena in the tournament finals. However, a close loss to Rena and this loss here have shown a few holes in her game. She still has extremely good power, possibly the best in women's kickboxing, but if she can't land her hooks, while she is a very talented kickboxer, she has trouble winning rounds and in Shootboxing, her grappling base isn't very strong. Big congratulations to Klijn who shocked nearly everyone and will have to be invited to the next Girls S-Cup.
In the finals of the 53.5kg Girls S-Cup, Mizuki Inoue proved her first win over Ai Takahashi wasn't a fluke, defeating Takahashi for the second time, this time over the course of 6 rounds, winning the extension round on all three judges' cards. Inoue used superior speed and movement to land against Takahashi and take her second big win over the former Shootboxing champion, winning the 53.5kg tournament title as well. Inoue is one of the brightest prospects in both MMA and kickboxing and should find herself in another marquee matchup, possibly against Rena, some time in the near future. Takahashi wasn't able to exploit her length as well as she did against smaller opponents in the S-Cup, but was able to keep up with Inoue. Now 0-2 against Inoue, she'll have to work her way back up if she wants a second chance at redemption.
In the JKS48 High School tournament, Rena's younger sister Mio Kubota matched her sister's efforts and won the tournament with a unanimous decision over Yusa Tachi in the semis and a TKO of Akari Nakamura in the finals. It's hard to say what is in Mio's near future, but Shootboxing has a good number of former S-Cup participants with experience that could give her a good challenge and see if she has the same promise as her sister, who was fighting Miku Matsumoto and Su Jeong Lim when she was just 17.
Finally, in a 53.5kg single fight, 53.5kg Girls S-Cup participant Rio Kamikaze scored an upset over prospect Seira Aragaki by majority decision on scores of 30-28, 29-28 and 28-28. Rio scored 2 shoot points in the third round with a hip toss that won her the fight. A rematch with Ai Takahashi could be a good next fight for her.

I bought these in an 8 because they had the same style name as some long trousers I recently bought in store, also in an 8. These had a different cut, and no elastic in the waistband (like the long trousers), so were too small for me. I returned them to the store and bought some similar shorts in a size 10, which fit me fine. However, I haven't worn them yet so can't comment on wear and tear etc.
11/09/2013 15:27:08
I was after a longer length shorts for everyday use rather than the hot pants that are in other shops. Very generous sizing and had to buy a smaller size than I usually do and the waist was still a little big. Very quick drying so great for taking on walking/cycling holidays. Could do with a little elastcation on the waist for a better fit but nothing a belt couldn't fix.
14/07/2013 10:52:36
These were purchased to replace the same shorts I bought two years ago which now have a hole in them after a spark from the chiminea. They are very comfortable to wear and dry very quickly ideal for travelling. I was so pleased to find that they were still on sale. The old ones were navy but no longer produced but I like the grey.
09/09/2012 17:01:16
These were great over padded cycling liners for a recent cycling holiday. Could wash and dry them overnight and they were dry in no time after rain showers. Long and loose enough for me to feel comfortable off the bike too. A bargain at £12.99 in the sale!
05/08/2013 10:41:13
Nice shorts at a good price but the sizing is wrong. I ordered size 12 which were too big, possibly the size 10 would of been too big also but unfortunately there were none in stock. Best to try on at shop if possible.
02/10/2013 10:07:13
These shorts are excellent and very suitable for a woman who is 6foot tall al doesnt like to wear short shorts. We bought them in the sale and the price was fantastic. the quality is also very good and they was well
20/07/2013 08:28:35
I like the longer length of these shorts. The light weight fabric has been great during the recent hot weather and they are very quick drying. I expect that I will get a lot of use and wear out of them.
01/07/2013 20:32:26
Having lost 1.5 stone in weight I was really chuffed to fit into a size 14 shorts. Length was just right to get my knees brown without showing too much leg, at my age that's not a good idea.
19/08/2012 15:31:44
I was looking for a pair of shorts that are not too short. The fabric is good, and my only negative point is that they are slightly roomy on the waist. Very pleased with purchase
15/07/2012 18:04:08
I bought these to send to my daughter who is teaching high ropes at a summer camp in America. She already has 2 pairs but found them perfect in length, Weight and durability
14/07/2013 09:28:47
These shorts are very light weight and comfortable. They make a different having them slighter longer, there is also a zip pocket at the bottom of one of the legs.
10/07/2013 09:44:05
Very light and comfortable to wear. No skimping on material as I was able to purchase size 10 when normally wear size 12. Would like more variety of colours.
24/06/2012 11:01:39
Very comfortable to wear. Material light weight and allows movement. Would definately buy another pair. Bought for walking holiday but have already worn them
22/06/2012 15:46:29
Should be ideal for longer walks and general sightseeing in warm weather. I am short in height and fits to just below the knee line, which suits me fine.
04/02/2012 11:24:26
I would have preferred a decent sized cargo pocket (as on the Gent's version) rather than a small, slanted zip pocket which will hold very little.
28/07/2013 17:12:55
Nice fit, very light to wear especially good in the hot weather we have been having. Good also if you get them wet in the rain - they dry well.
13/08/2012 17:11:12
The quality and finish on these shorts is excellent and they are both smart and practical. Very comfortable, especially in very hot weather.
31/05/2012 20:23:15
These shorts are a great lightweight item to have in my bag when out and about. They have been great when kayaking as they dry very quickly.
30/07/2013 09:26:34
Was looking for longer type shorts at a reasonable price for walking on holiday. Not a great range of sizes but got what I was looking for.
07/07/2013 07:47:36
The shorts were good but the sizing was too big. I ordered 2 other pairs from the store and they were my size 14 but these drowned me!

Nokia Developer will make changes into the current Nokia Developer Champions program, based on the feedback and recommendations from the champions. These changes will take place gradually. Here is the list of the changes you can expect to see in coming months.
1) We will introduce a Reward system
Champions' contribution to Nokia developer community is outstanding. Because of this, we want to reward the most active members of the Champion community.
In order to guarantee a fair rewarding, we will introduce a system where certain actions give you "champion points" and these points can be then changed to small rewards. For example, Champions who are organizing small developer community meet-ups, creating webinars for the rest of the Nokia Developer community, writing quality articles and blogs or who are active in discussion boards are entitled to certain number of points.
2) More Visibility for Champions: Changes in Champions Home Page and Profiles
One of our most important targets is to give more visibility for the work Champions are doing. We want that other members of the developer community as well as local Nokia teams will discover Champions and the great contribution they are giving for the community.
In order to do this, we will revise the Champions home page with the improved search functions. We'll also improve the Champions profiles and make finding the other Champions from different countries easier. Last but not least we will give more visibility for the best blogs and articles created by Champions
3) Closer Links with Regional Nokia teams
This was a frequently requested item in a small Champions survey we did couple of months ago. We want to build up closer links between Champions and local Nokia teams.
4) Opportunities to give speeches and organize Developer meet-ups
Nokia will provide support for the Champions who are willing to organize a local Developer meet-up. If you want to organize a small event for the fellow developers, please tell us about it. The idea is that you are the one inviting the others, creating the meet up agenda and making the arrangements. Nokia will support you by paying for the premises, providing event related items and linking you up with the local Nokia team to discuss about the details and practicalities. If you want to organize a meet up, come up with a tentative plan for the meeting and let us know about it.
5) More Champion Benefits !
Nokia is in a process of revising its developer programs (PRO, Launch Pad) the changes will take place in the June- September period. As soon as the new program is up and running, we will provide all Champions the full set of valuable benefits available in this renewed program! We will inform you about the full benefits set as the launch of the programs gets closer.
6) We are recruiting More Champions
We have currently over 160 active Champions in our community and we are looking forward to doubling the size of our Champion community. We will select new members based on their exceptional abilities. This is of course good news for all Champions and whole community as we will have more experts sharing their knowledge. If you know good candidates, please contact us for more information.
Best Regards

@tomdoh345 - Wow, do you ever have a negative opinion of Romney. Since your comments are not only negative, but insulting, I have to wonder if there is any truth to them. Obviously, they aren't to be taken seriously. Do you really think what we have in office now is better?? If so, you do not have your eyes open and you do not want to see the truth.

I had to go to Google to find this article yet the extremely Pro Romney article claiming that every Catholic should vote for Romney on only one issue ( despite what a disaster he is on all other issues ) was very prominent. 96% of the voting population of Ireland understand Romney is bad why not that many Irish in the US ? I find it hard to believe any Irish person would be for Romney, a Pro-war Draft Dodger who spent the Viet-Nam War in a mansion in Paris, a bad politician who never finishes his terms, the job exporter, the vulture capitalist, the panderer to extreme groups and a man who fired a very fine University of Massachusetts President only because he was Irish and had the last name Bulger.

Happy Genocide Day
Happy Genocide Day, or, as popularly known, Columbus Day. It always amazes me that this country celebrates a man who discovered land that had already been discovered, and then enacted mass extermination of the existing people on the "new" land:
And we have a holiday for this man? Do you think if I "discover" a land that already has been discovered, and commit genocide against those already living there, would I get a holiday named after me? The Truth about the Lies about ACORN
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Debating
I am debating getting back in to this blogging thing. Perhaps. And I have added my thesis to the "papers" section if you are interested. 4th of July thoughts
I had thoughts of musing on the 4th of July (which I have done previous, on fireworks, on other random writings, and on Howard Zinn and flags). Until I read this from Blake. Which is much better than what I have would have said. So it read it over there. Finally, a reason to like the White Sox (and thoughts on Illinois' budget crisis)
I don't like the White Sox. At all. But this is cool:
Illinois, and specifically Illinois' safety net, is facing possibly its worst crisis in its history. Social services are facing HUGE, devastating cuts, upwards of 75% of the current fiscal year budget. This would mean that thousands of families would lose access to affordable child care. Thousands of seniors and people with disabilities would lose access to home care services, forcing them into nursing homes. Thousands of individuals struggling with addiction would no longer get help. Thousands needed help for sexual assault and abuse will have nowhere to go. You can read more here. Why? Because Illinois' politicians do not have the guts to do the right thing and raise taxes in order to save these services. Everyone in Springfield knows that a tax increase is necessary - Republican and Democrat alike. Yet they refuse to take that hard vote. I am proud to be one of over 5,000 people who visited the capitol yesterday, urging legislators to raise my taxes. Yes, I wrote that correctly. Raise my taxes. Illinois cannot afford to do otherwise. Holocaust Museum Shooting
James W. von Brunn made a visit to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC today, attempting to kill as many people as possible, it appears. This man believed some scary, scary stuff, some of which, for now, can be viewed here: Here is his "bio" from TPM:
UPDATE: TPM has a profile on the shooter. END UPDATE And people wonder why we still talk about race issues in this country? Racism is, unfortunately, alive and well here in America.
UPDATE II: Hmm... so this is the second far-right terrorist attack in the last couple of weeks. And people complained about the Department on Homeland Security talking about far-right extremism? UPDATE III: Here is his disgusting website. UPDATE IV: CNN is reporting that the guard that was shot has died. Liberty University and the Democrats
Fundamentalist Christian university teaches students how to hate their enemies: Two unrelated things you should read
Posted by Dave on 05/20/09 at 01:54:07 pm
Categories: Sports Ravings, Race Ravings, Quick Links, Labor Being busy at work and spending my time at home with my beautiful daughter means very little time for blogging. Oh well. But here are two completely unrelated stories that you should read:
How Not to Join a Union
Happy Birthday Pete Seeger
Happy May Day!
It was a beautiful day for a march... Good Friday - Prince: The Cross
The Cross, from Prince: Unifying Unions
Woh... this is really, really big - Unifying Unions:
This could be the best thing that has happened to the labor movement in decades. Of course, it could also turn into a complete and utter nightmare. Either way, it is huge news. Deep thought: Whitey video?
Remember when there were rumors on the racist right that there was some secret video that would be released of Michelle Obama making racist statements? Those were fun days... Quote of the Day
From the European press, on Obama (emphasis added): Happy Cesar Chavez Day!
Today is the birthday of Cesar Chavez (for more background, go here). Chavez is a man who played a HUGE role in organizing migrant farm workers (mostly in California) in order to have a unified voice against the abusive practices of the farm owners, and served for many years as the President of the United Farm Workers (UFW). Chavez started just like so many others - as a son of farm workers who then became a farm worker himself. He began to get involved in community organizing and quickly saw the need to organize his fellow farm workers. He also was a man who not only stressed social and economic justice for farm workers, but he also stressed the absolute need for non-violent actions against the bosses rather than using violent means. Here are some quotes:
Chavez was a man of principle. He was a man who was willing to embrace the struggle of justice, and embrace non-violent means to get to a point of justice. If Chavez was still living today, I think he would be a bit disappointed. Disappointed that so many of his fellow migrant workers are still in awful conditions. Disappointed that we have yet to get to a point of just immigration policies. Disappointed that while progress was made, that there is still a long, long way to go. But regardless of the disappointment, Cesar Chavez is a man who made a difference. He made a difference for thousands of farm workers and more generally, thousands, if not millions, of migrant workers around the country. PBS on JWJ's James Thindwa
Take a look at PBS' Bill Moyers Journal profile of Chicago community organizer James Thindwa. Thindwa is the executive director of Chicago Jobs with Justice. You can watch an excerpt below: BREAKING: NM Abolishes the Death Penalty!!
Governor Richardson has signed the legislation abolishing the death penalty in New Mexico!!!!! From Death Penalty Focus:
New Mexico becomes the 15th state to abolish the death penalty, and the second state since 1976. You can read more at the New Mexico Coalition to Repeal the Death Penalty. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Detroit's Beautiful, Horrible Decline
Call Governor Richardson NOW!
From the Illinois Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty: NM Legislature passes abolition of death penalty
New Mexico legislature votes to repeal the death penalty:
Governor Richardson still needs to sign it, which, unfortunately, is not a sure thing. But this is a huge step... and places New Mexico one step away from abolishing the awful practice of killing to show that killing is wrong! Can My Boss Do that?
A wonderful site, from Interfaith Worker Justice: Can My Boss Do That? Savannah Grace Lowitzki!
Savannah Grace Lowitzki was born Saturday morning at 6:53, weighing in at 5 pounds, 14 ounces and measuring 19 inches. And, of course, she is stunningly beautiful, just like her mother. Mom and baby are doing wonderfully well, and we should be heading home this morning. You can see more pics at BabyLowitzki.com. Comments...
I currently have the site set so that I can moderate comments. This is simply to deal with an annoying individual commenter that is not welcome here, as he does not appear willing to deal with 1) facts, 2) not making blatantly false personal attacks, and 3) the comment policy. I will do my best to approve all comments as soon as possible. :: Next Page >> |

Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 5 November 2013With the Melbourne Cup here again, I'm crossing my fingers and toes that I'm going to clean up in the office sweepstakes. Although a far cry from the glitz and glamour of actually being at the races; a glass of bubbles and a few minutes of screaming and cheering at the television is not a bad way to end a Tuesday afternoon. There is one scary thing about it being Melbourne Cup... read more |

Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 22 October 2013I've just had an amzing week away at the beautiful Denerau Island in Fiji and I've got to admit my clock is still set to a little Fiji time. It's such a nice change of pace, to kick back and read a book (or five) and pretty much chill for a whole week. So, now back at my desk, I feel like I should be reaching for a club sandwich and a pina colada but I'll settle... read more |

Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 8 October 2013Happy Tuesday everyone. As you can probably tell, I'm in a particularly chipper mood today and it's because I'm starting my countdown to an upcoming holiday to Fiji – exciting times!

Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 1 October 2013With September behind us, and daylight saving back, I can't believe we are entering the last quarter of 2013. I must admit that I have started to put some of those pesky new year resolutions into action - better late than never I suppose. I figured I had better nail a couple of them before it's time to make new ones for next year! So, I've joined the gym and I can safely say... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 24 September 2013Those of you who were kids in the 80's and 90's, will, I'm sure, be very familiar with the Soda Stream Machine.

Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 17 September 2013I always find this is such a weird time of year figuring out what to wear. I feel like it's time for a huge clean out to ditch all those winter clothes I've absolutely thrashed and, if I'm honest, I'm a little tired of wearing. I'm ready to make way for some fresh and summery purchases. But each year I end up getting rid of things I still need to wear because it can still get pretty... read more |
Editors NotesFrom the Editor: 12 September 2013I have to say I am enjoying a somewhat calmer week this week as the hype from NZ Fashion Week starts to wind down.

Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn
What is transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN)?
Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a term for a mild respiratory problem of babies that begins after birth and lasts about three days. Other terms for TTN are "wet lungs" or type II respiratory distress syndrome.- "transient" means temporary
- "tachypnea" means fast breathing rate
What causes transient tachypnea of the newborn?
It is thought that slow absorption of the fluid in the fetal lungs causes TTN. This fluid makes taking in oxygen harder and the baby breathes faster to compensate.Who is affected by transient tachypnea of the newborn?
Only a small percentage of all newborns develop TTN. Although premature babies can have TTN, most babies with this problem are full-term. The condition may be more likely to develop in babies delivered by cesarean section because the fluid in the lungs does not get squeezed out as in a vaginal birth.What are the symptoms of transient tachypnea of the newborn?
The following are the most common symptoms of transient tachypnea of the newborn. However, each baby may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:- rapid breathing rate (over 60 breaths/minute)
- grunting sounds with breathing
- flaring of the nostrils
- retractions (pulling in at the ribs with breathing)
How is transient tachypnea of the newborn diagnosed?
Chest x-rays are often used to help diagnose TTN. On x-ray, the lungs show a streaked appearance and appear over-inflated. X-rays are a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film. However, it may be difficult to tell whether the problem is TTN or another kind of respiratory problem such as respiratory distress syndrome (also known as hyaline membrane disease). Often, TTN is diagnosed when symptoms suddenly resolve by the third day of life.Treatment for transient tachypnea of the newborn:
Specific treatment for transient tachypnea of the newborn will be determined by your baby's physician based on:- your baby's gestational age, overall health, and medical history
- extent of the condition
- your baby's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- expectations for the course of the condition
- your opinion or preference
- supplemental oxygen given by mask on the baby's face or by placing the baby under an oxygen hood
- blood tests (to measure blood oxygen levels)
- continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) - a mechanical breathing machine that pushes a continuous flow of air or oxygen to the airways to help keep tiny air passages in the lungs open.
Once TTN goes away, the baby usually recovers quickly and has no increased risk for additional respiratory problems.
