"Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve" --- Edward Lear
Do you have a favorite children's poem?
Mine is "The Jumblies" by Edward Lear.
Life always seems safely sane after reading "The Jumblies" to my children.
After all, no one in my family is adventurous enough to eat Stilton cheese.
Poetry helps children by teaching them "the best words in the best order" (Samuel Taylor Coleridge).
For more information about why poetry is important for kids, read "Sharing the Power of Poetry with Your Child" by J. Patrick Lewis - available at www.pbs.org.
On Saturday, April 6, please help the library celebrate National Poetry month by visiting the children's desk and choosing a poem to read to a librarian – or, if you'd rather, have them read the poem to you.
Not sure what poetry your kids will enjoy?
Try "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein, "Nonsense!" by Edward Lear, "Talking Like the Rain" by X. J. and Dorothy Kennedy, and "Be Glad Your Nose Is on Your Face" by Jack Prelutsky.
Traditional nursery rhymes are perfect for babies, toddlers and preschoolers.
My favorite version is "Richard Scarry's Best Mother Goose Ever."
After immersing your family in a little poetry, take a peek at some of our other programs.

Who We Are
In the last 3 decades, ACSO has grown from a small organisation providing a halfway house for ex-prisoners to becoming a leading provider of forensic support services, delivering programs for people in or at risk of entering the criminal justice system in Victoria.
Our vision is to create a safe and inclusive community freed of crime and prisons. Our growth is testament to our ethos, 'create another chance' and how we go about doing it portrays our values.
We help people transition from prison, assist them in the community to stop them from re-offending and intervene to divert others from committing crime in the first place. We offer innovative services responding to unemployment, mental illness, disability, homelessness, substance use and offending behaviour throughout metropolitan and regional Victoria. These services are delivered through our 'wrap around' service delivery model that integrates ACSO's forensic residential, clinical care, disability and mental health case coordination, employment services and community enterprise divisions to achieve better outcomes for our clients and the communities we serve.
Strategic Plan
Every element of this plan for the next five years focuses our energy on living our vision and mission.

What do you think?Twenty-six-year-old Californian Lightweight Dashon Fly Boy Johnson (9-0) has been signed by the UFC to take on fellow newcomer Jake Matthews (4-0) on June 28th at UFC Fight Night 43 in Aukland, New Zealand.
Both guys come in with perfect records, but once I started looking at just who Johnson had fought, and what their records were, I was quite surprised at what I found.
First of all, all nine of Johnsons pro bouts were fought in the Xplode Fight Series organization in California. That got me curious, then when I clicked on each of his opponents, heres what I found (from first to last):
Tommy Franklin (0-1) Nov. 2012
Jordan Delano (0-11) Jan. 2013
Kenneth Johnson (0-1) March 2013
Randall Adams (0-1) May 2013
Phelan Fleming (0-7) June 2013
Kenny Kilgore (1-5) July 2013
Brady Harrison (12-11) Sept. 2013
Ray Carter (0-2) Jan. 2014
Jordan Delano (0-11) March 2014
Only two of his opponents have ever won a fight at all!!
Have you seen a guy with a more padded record in your armchair MMA career?

"Stay Off the Cars"–The Boycott of the Virginia Passenger and Power Company
In 1902 Louisiana became the first to pass a statewide statute requiring mandatory segregation of streetcars, followed by Mississippi in 1904. That same year, Virginia authorized, but did not require, segregated streetcars in all of its cities, leaving it up to companies to decide whether or not they would segregate their services. On April 17, 1904, the Times Dispatch printed the article "Separate the Races" on page seventeen of its Sunday edition, in which the Virginia Passenger and Power Company outlined a new set of rules. The Company surely hoped its new policy to enforce racial segregation on its cars would go unnoticed by Richmond's populace. Instead, the company's new regulations led to a citywide boycott of its services, and ultimately to its financial ruin.
"This company has determined to avail itself of the authority given by a recent state law to separate white and colored passengers," read its statement in the Times Dispatch, "and to set apart and designate in each car certain portions of the car or certain seats for white passengers and certain other portions or certain seats for colored passengers. . .The conductors have the right to require passengers to change their seats as often as may be necessary for the comfort and convenience of the passengers and satisfactory separation of the races." White riders were to sit in the front of cars, while black riders were to sit in the back, but because there were no permanent partitions on the cars, conductors had the authority to assign seats as the ebb and flow of black and white riders shifted. This gave conductors the power to play a "bizarre game of musical chairs with passengers."[1] The company's new regulations also gave conductors the authority to arrest or forcibly remove anyone who did not comply with … read more »

Technical report Frank / Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität, Fachbereich Informatik und Mathematik, Institut für Informatik
- 39 [v.3]
- Reconstructing a logic for inductive proofs of properties of functional programs (2010)
- A logical framework consisting of a polymorphic call-by-value functional language and a first-order logic on the values is presented, which is a reconstruction of the logic of the verification system VeriFun. The reconstruction uses contextual semantics to define the logical value of equations. It equates undefinedness and non-termination, which is a standard semantical approach. The main results of this paper are: Meta-theorems about the globality of several classes of theorems in the logic, and proofs of global correctness of transformations and deduction rules. The deduction rules of VeriFun are globally correct if rules depending on termination are appropriately formulated. The reconstruction also gives hints on generalizations of the VeriFun framework: reasoning on nonterminating expressions and functions, mutual recursive functions and abstractions in the data values, and formulas with arbitrary quantifier prefix could be allowed.

Lance Armstrong has passed hundreds of PED tests and he is one of the biggest drug cheats of all time. You have to be sloppy or an idiot to get caught cheating. I'm sure that 50%+ of ALL professional athletes in most sport have used at one time or another.
I still dont really understand the problem with performance enhancing drugs. Quicker recovery from injuries, longer careers for my favourite fighters, more home-runs, whatever. As a selfish fan, I say go for it.
EDIT: All pro athletes have AT BEST turned a blind eye to PED use, if not used themselves, at some point during their careers. Danzig included.

Mac is probably just trying to convince himself and others that it's that high to make himself feel better about the fact that he will never be a top contender.
I hope this isn't too big, because it's awesome.
50% who are regular users sounds about right, and like Mac says, I'm sure there's way more who have tried it at least once, if only to help heal an injury.
It's so easy to use in MMA, most guys only fight a couple of times a year, and there's no random out of competition testing. So there's more than enough time to clear some of these newer drugs. And the guys that fight more often are in the regional shows where's there's little if any testing.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team posted its fourth-straight shutout with a 7-0 win over Austin Peay at the Hixson Racquet Club tonight. UTC improves to 5-0 for the first time in over 10 years and Jeff Clark earned his 100th win as head coach of the Lady Mocs.
"Chattanooga has such a tremendous tennis community and it is an amazing place to coach," stated Clark. "Getting to 100 wins is great, but it is really about the student-athletes. They are the ones who win the matches and we have had a lot of good ones over the years. We have a bunch of good ones this year and hopefully we can keep it going."
UTC is almost perfect through five matches, having only lost one point in the season-opening 6-1 win over Kennesaw State. Since then, Chattanooga has blanked in-state rivals Belmont, Middle Tennessee, Lipscomb and Austin Peay.
UTC won all three doubles matches, including 8-0 shutouts at No. 2 and No. 3. Senior Jenna Nurik (Roswell, Ga.) and sophomore Kaylene Chadwell (Franklin, Tenn.) improved to 4-1 with an 8-0 win over Alison Carre and Vanessa Tavares at No. 2. Freshmen Kelsey Coots (Huntsville, Ala.) and Kayla Jones (Memphis, Tenn.) are also 4-1 after an 8-5 win over Arnella Di Salvo and Andra Cornea at No. 1.
Nurik clinched the win with her (6-3, 6-2) victory over Carre at No. 1. Nurik improves to 5-0 in the spring and 10-6 overall. Jones is also 5-0 this spring following her (6-3, 6-3) win over Cornea at No. 3. She leads the team with a 16-2 overall singles mark.
Chadwell posted a (6-1, 6-3) win over Ornella at No. 2 and is 4-1 in the spring. Coots, sophomore Claire Mulyadi (Semarang, Indonesia) and freshman Jovana Pecovski (Apitan, Serbia) also had singles wins today.
Clark is in the sixth year of his second stint at UTC. He coached the Lady Mocs from 1999-01 and returned to UTC in 2007. His career record stands at 100-84.
The Lady Mocs are back on the court on Saturday, Feb. 16, when they host Lee University at the Champions Club. First serve is set for 1:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) and this is a double-header with the men's teams. A link for live scoring is available on the women's tennis schedule page on GoMocs.com.

Google doesn't intend to develop a browser: they'll just integrate the most important features of a browser in Google Toolbar, which is already available for Internet Explorer and Firefox. Instead of marketing a new browser, Google only has to make deals with hardware and software companies like Dell, Sun, Adobe and bundle its small plug-in. While Google Toolbar's most important role is to make it easier to search using Google and to increase user's loyalty, it's also a simple way to promote new products and to facilitate the transition to storing data online.
Bookmarks - if you store your bookmarks online, they're fully searchable and available from any computer connected to the Internet. That's the idea behind Google Bookmarks.
History - your browser keeps the pages you visit for a small number of days and you can only search their titles. Google Web History stores all your Google searches and all the pages you visit from any computer. You get personalized search results, recommendations and a searchable database of your online activity.
Address bar - you no longer have to remember URLs. Browse by Name lets you enter the name of a company, an organization, a product or a service and go straight to its homepage. If the query is not navigational (there's no perfect answer), Google will send you to the search results page. Some people say this is an even better idea than AOL keywords.
Cookies, passwords - in addition to sessions, bookmarks and local history. This isn't yet a Google Toolbar feature, but Google Browser Sync could be integrated in the next versions. Google Browser Sync is a Firefox extension that synchronizes your browser settings across your computers and makes the transition between two computers seamless.
Opening files - if you have Microsoft Office, Adobe Reader, you can read documents from your browser. Google Toolbar for Firefox has a feature that lets you open documents and spreadsheets in Google Docs.
Any browser could be a Google Browser if you would just log in to your Google Account and all your settings would follow you: your bookmarks, the most recent visited pages, the passwords for all the other accounts, your plug-ins and their settings. And as more and more web applications become decent replacements for software, Google Browser slowly morphs into a web desktop - let's call it Google Operating System.

(December 18, 2012) -- Dylan Riola did everything for Cameron Yoe last season. He played wide receiver, defensive back, and even punter. But at the end of the year, Riola found out some news that would change his life.
Riola woke up with a blood clot in his leg. Later, he was diagnosed with a protein S deficiency, meaning his blood clots easily. He was put on blood thinners which keeps from participating in any contact sports.
"Naturally a person's first reaction is to blame somebody else or ask why it happened to them," said Riola. "But I try to have faith that there is a plan or a reason for everything. I had great family and friends and coaches who helped me get through it to let me know it wasn't the end of the world and it would be alright."
Riola stayed on the team and this season, he acted as another assistant coach, giving guidance and tips to his fellow quarterbacks and receivers.
Riola did get to play in his first game this year, in the state quarterfinals against Hallettsville. He came in on the final play, to take a knee in the victory formation.
He hopes to do the same if the Yoemen beat Daingerfield in the 2A Division I state final on Thursday.

We talk and dream of a thriving successful economy with job opportunities in our county, so that our children are able to go off to college and come back home to provide a decent life for themselves and help grow their community, giving back. The following person is that dream of success, a native from Hemingway, who made a difference in her county, though she lives in another state.
Barvetta Singletary has recently been named Special Assistant to the President and House Legislative Liaison working with The White House to advance legislative priorities in the United States and Congress, specifically, in the House of Representatives.
Most recently, Barvetta served as the Policy Director for the Office of the Assistant Democratic Leader, Congressman James E. Clyburn (SC, 06), the third-ranking democratic in the United States House of Representatives.
In her capacity as Policy Director, Singletary was responsible for overseeing all policy initiatives on the legislative agenda. She managed a team of policy professionals, where she oversaw drafting and analysis, and made recommendations to the Assistant Democratic Leader on legislative priorities in the House. Singletary was directly responsible for health, education, economic development, and the federal budget and appropriations policy. As an appropriations staffer, she led the effort to secure more than $150 million to improve the quality of life in South Carolinas Sixth Congressional District. This includes funding for the Williamsburg County Boys and Girls Club, Williamsburg County Public Service Administration Building, Williamsburg County First Steps, Williamsburg County Sheriffs Office, Williamsburg County Courthouse renovations, Williamsburg County Emergency Management and improvements to the water and waste water lines.
During Congressman Clyburns tenure as Majority Whip of the House, Singletary played an integral role in crafting the landmark healthcare law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and Health Education Reconciliation Act. (Affordable Care Act). In addition, Singletary was the principal staffer to Congressman Clyburn on Vice President Bidens Deficit Reduction Group (Biden Committee) and the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (Super Committee). In both roles, Singletary interacted and collaborated with senior White House officials, Members of Congress and other senior staff, key industries and consumer stakeholders.
Singletary was very instrumental in securing key provisions in the Affordable Care Act and Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act including: $11 billion in mandatory funding for community health centers; National Health Service Corps Scholarship and Loan Repayment Programs, which provides $1.5 billion in mandatory funding to support primary care providers who commit to practice in underserved communities; Language to ensure multi-state health exchanges meet a minimum federal standard; Non-discrimination language, a discrimination clause based on Titles VI and IX of the Civil Rights Act- an authority extended to health care for the first time in history; Language to establish and codify offices of minority health in seven agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services and she played central role in negotiating a rate review to increase accountability and transparency for insurers when raising premiums.
Singletary concurrently served as Deputy Chief of Staff to Congressman Clyburns congressional office, where she began as an intern in 2000 and quickly rose through a series of increasingly important positions.
Singletary is a graduate of Hemingway High School and Howard University, Washington DC. She is the daughter of Councilwoman W. Jeanie Brown-Burrows and the late Bobby Singletary.

May 13, 2011
IRVINE, Calif. - The Cal State Northridge women's track & field team had a solid opening day of the 2011 Big West Championships as the Matadors added 44 points to the 20 they scored last weekend in the heptathlon. CSUN takes a total of 64 points and a 15-point lead over second-place Long Beach State into Saturday's final day of competition.
The Matador men are currently in seventh-place after scoring 10.5 points on Friday.
In point scoring events on Friday, the Matador women earned 44 points and qualified a host of others for event finals on Saturday.
"We've got to keep going," said head coach Don Strametz. "The point of today was to get as many people into Saturday's finals. We don't have anything won, we had a solid first day but we've got to have a solid day again tomorrow."
Sophomore Tiana Webberley led the charge on Friday as she defended her Big West pole vault championship and posted a school record, personal-best and NCAA qualifying height of 13-1.75 (4.01) to earn 10 points. Webberley broke Krystal Quinn's record of 13-1.50 from 2008 on her second attempt then missed on three attempts at 13-3.50 (4.05). Jenna Hulion also picked up one point after finishing eighth with a best of 10-11.75 (3.35).
The Matadors also scored well in the long jump as Desirae Gonder finished second with a top jump of 19-7.50 (5.98) and Sherrina Lofton was third also at 19-7.50 (5.98). Both set new lifetime-bests and added 14 points to the women's total. Gonder's top jump came on her third attempt while Lofton jumped 5.98 on her second attempt before passing the rest of the way. Long Beach State's Phylicia Johnson pulled out the win by .01 after jumping 19-8 (5.99) on her fourth attempt.
CSUN added seven points in the javelin as Alisa Jenkins threw 123-2 (37.55) to finish fifth and pick up four points. The Matadors' leading javelin thrower, Haylee Varner finished seventh with a best of 121-7 (37.07) and Jordan DuFault was eighth after tossing a season-best 118-8 (36.17) to add one additional point.
Claire Morgan narrowly missed her season-best in the discus after throwing 146-3 (44.59) which was good for fifth-place and four points.
On the track, Zitlalic Ley finished 11th in the 3,000 meter steeplechase in a time of 11:31.55.
Friday's events were capped by the 10,000 meters and senior Lilyana Morejon finished as the runner-up for the second straight year. The 2009 champion ran 35:09.51 to earn eight points.
The Matador men picked up all their Friday points in two events, the high jump and long jump. In the high jump, senior Thomas Johnson finished tied for fourth at 6-8.75 (2.05) to earn 4.5 points while Jonathan Talkington was eighth at 6-4.75 (1.95) to add one point. Itua Oiyemhonlan finished just out of the scoring at 6-2.75 (1.09) to place 10th.
In the long jump, freshman Jory Rucker finished fourth after posting a lifetime-best 23-05.25 (7.14) to earn five points.
CSUN came away scoreless in the hammer as Cameron McAteer finished 11th with a top throw of 161-1 (49.09) and James Poet was 15th with a best of 145-6 (44.35).
In Friday prelims on the women's side, the Matadors advanced four to the 100 meter final on Saturday. Lofton clocked the best time in the field with a wind-legal season-best of 11.79. Precious Watkins also qualified in a season-best 11.90, while Sierra Brooks ran a season-best 12.02 and Briana Davis ran a season-best 12.15 to also reach the final.
Lofton, Brooks and Watkins also advanced to the 200 meter final as Lofton had the second-best qualifying time (24.23) while Brooks ran 24.72 and Watkins ran 24.87.
Jackie Harrison's time of 55.09 led a pair of Matadors into the 400 meter final as she finished third in the prelims. Jasmine Cox ran 55.93 to finish fifth to also reach the final while Lauren Michaels ran 59.50 but finished 16th.
Four Matador hurdlers advanced as Jenkins finished seventh in the 100 hurdles in 14.28 while Gonder was just behind in 14.35 to also qualify. Ashley Frazier moved into the 400 hurdles final after taking second in the prelims at 60.88. Shane Mullany-Banks completed the quartet as she was seventh in a time of 62.55.
The men also had similar success on the track Friday as 10 sprinters earned a spot in Saturday's finals. Freshman Carl Horsley led a strong CSUN charge in the 100 meters as five Matadors will be in the final. Horsley clocked a time of 10.58, the second-fastest of the day while De'Shawn Waters was third (10.64), David Reid was fourth (10.67), Sean Alfino was fifth (10.77) and Thomas Henry grabbed the eighth and final spot. Waters and Alfino were running their first 100 meter races of the outdoor season.
Reid, Horsley and Khalid Jones also reached the 200 final as Reid was second in 21.39 with Horsley third (21.39) and Jones again grabbed the final spot at 22.15. Jones and Trevor Carroll both advanced to the 400 final as Jones ran 48.80 to qualify fourth and Carroll was sixth in a season-best 48.99.
Micheal Woodham continued his solid season in the 110 meter hurdles as he qualified with the top time of 14.23. In the 400 hurdles, Bobby Workman narrowly missed qualifying as he placed ninth in 53.98.
The Matadors were not able to advance any of their three entrants in the 800 meters into the final as Gustavo Hernandez was 10th (1:54.59), Steven Gonzalez was 15th (1:58.33) and Jerrid Lewis was 16th (2:04.36). In the 10,000 meters, Juan Olea ran a lifetime-best 32:17.19 but finished 13th among 15 runners.

Sharp: No winners in Israel-Palestine conflictWritten by Kenneth Sharp | | firstname.lastname@example.com
There can be no winners in the current conflict between Israel and Palestine. There can be no winners when both sides have allowed violence to be the method of decision. Distrust and betrayal of truth by factions of both sides have left the majority of the populations on each side without a proper peaceful recourse.
Israel exists. It does not exist because it struggled for existence in the manner that legitimizes most other nations. Israel did not come about because Jewish peoples living there negotiated, settled and even fought for a right of self-determination. That may have come to pass, but it was subverted by haughty world dominating powers at the time. Its existence is almost entirely the result of the British Empire exerting its will, along with the aid of the American, French and German governments. The British, under a long tradition of empire building, controlled the lands of Palestine after World War II. The process of control of these lands by Britain and France began in World War I and before. The Europeans were not honest with the local populations or leaders as to their goals. The outsiders planned to displace the indigenous population, as they have often done, to reorganize the world in the manner they see as best. Often the people already there are vehemently opposed to these plans, and rightly so. The target of this justified anger has been often unjustly the Jews and particularly Israel.
There is no going back in time. Israel exists, whether its founding was legitimate or not. But it is now a nation state and in the tradition of its true colonial founders, it has often lost its soul and humanity. When one is aware of the land grabs, domination and control over resources as basic as water and electricity, its imperialist roots are exposed. The nation state of Israel has lost the Jewish experience and faith but retained the European tradition of empire and bigotry. That is not true of the Jewish people as a whole or the Israeli citizen. It appears always true of nation states.
The people of Palestine have not helped their cause. The actions of groups like Hamas do more harm than good. There is no reason to believe that sending missiles aimlessly into Israel, knowing that the majority will be intercepted anyway, will somehow help the cause. When those missiles are fired there are two possible results: 1) They make it through and kill innocents in Israel or 2) They are intercepted but terrorize the local population. Neither will achieve the goals of self-determination of the Palestinians. Today the Palestinian existence is akin to a prison population, denied basic human rights and liberty. Yet indiscriminate acts of violence or political organizing under charters that call for extermination of another group of people betray the Palestinian traditions and faith. This is not the true nature of Palestinians as a whole. Sadly it is true when some act like their oppressors and in the true character of a nation state.
There will likely be a ceasefire. The actual, mental and spiritual wounds inflicted will not heal quickly. Both sides will likely continue not to act in the true manner of their faiths and traditions, but in the modern mores of the colonial empires that brought this tragedy. Outside attemps to broker deals by Europe and America, while they continue the very processes that began it in other parts of the world, will lead to naught. Both sides need a spiritual reawakening. People are dying; people are needlessly suffering. Is it all just for the idea of a nation state, for arbitrary borders? No just God promised a nation state and to exclude the rights of others to exist. This is not a holy war or a war of religious ideals; it is geo-political. There can be no moral high ground, and there can be no winners.

Linguistik-Klassifikation: Sprachtypologie / Language typology
- Posession as an operational dimension of language (1981)
- In this study I want to show, above all, that the linguistic expression of POSSESSION is not a given but represents a problem to be solved by the human mind. We must recognize from the outset that linguistic POSSESSION presupposes conceptual or notional POSSESSION, and I shall say more about the latter in Chapter 3. Certain varieties of linguistic structures in the particular languages are united by the fact that they serve the common purpose of expressing notional POS SESSION. But this cannot be their sole common denominator. How would we otherwise be able to recognize, to understand, to learn and to translate a particular linguistic structure as representing POSSESSION? There must be a properly linguistic common denominator, an invariant, that makes this possible. The invariant must be present both within a particular language and in cross-language comparison. What is the nature of such an invariant? As I intend to show, it consists in operational programs and functional principles corresponding to the purpose of expressing notional POSSESSION. The structures of possessivity which we find in the languages of the world represent the traces of these operations, and from the traces it becomes possible to reconstruct stepwise the operations and functions.
- Possessivity, subject and object (1982)
- The basic question is whether POSSESSOR and POSSESSUM are on the same level as the roles of VALENCE, two additional roles as it were. My research on POSSESSION has shown (Seiler 1981:7 ff.) that this is not the case, that there is a difference in principle between POSSESSION and VALENCE. However, there are multiple interactions between the two domains, and these interactions shall constitute the object of the following inquiry. It is hoped that this will contribute to a better understanding both of POSSESSION and of VALENCE.
- Possessive constructions in Tolai (1982)
- Possessive constructions are grammatical constructions which contain two nominals and express that the referent of one of these nominals belongs to the other. The kind of relationship denoted by possessive constructions is not only that of ownership (1), as the term "possessive" might suggest, but also that of kinship (2), bodypart relationship (3), part/whole relationship (4) and similar relationships [...]. The following investigation will start with possessive constructions on phrase level, i.e. possessive phrases, and then deal with possessive constructions on clause level.

10 violent video games
The National Rifle Association, which is meeting Thursday with Vice President Joe Biden to discuss gun policy in America, is one of a number of voices blaming mass shooting on a culture that includes horrendously violent and bloody video games. On Wednesday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has four kids, revealed that he has banned "Call of Duty" from his house. But "Call of Duty" isn't the only video game to come under attack in the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings. Here's a look at some of the games that have raised concerns:
"Manhunt," 2003, Rockstar Games — The watchdog group Common Sense Media slams the game as "one of the most violent games ever produced" and calls it a game that "rewards and glamorizes brutal murder." It tops the organization's list of the 10 most violent video games. According to a product summary, the game "explores the depths of human depravity in a vicious, sadistic tale of urban horror" that requires the user to "use cunning and skill to evade hired killers while searching for the identity of the man who has made you his pawn." Rated: "Mature."(Photo: Courtesy)

Pat Curran on Bellator Belt: "You
This past January, Curran successfully defended his title against Patricio Freire in a fight that pushed him to his limit.
He was an extremely tough opponent with a tough jaw and hard to finish, said Curran of Freire. It was a little closer than Id like, but Im happy to come away with a win and defend my title for the first time.
Once I started getting my rhythm and timing down, I started finding openings more and finding a home for my jab. I was landing the cleaner shots on him and by the end of the fight his face was more swollen than mine.
It was perhaps Freire looking the worse for wear that earned Curran a split-decision victory. Although it was a much more difficult fight than he anticipated, Curran is happy that it gave him a good sense of who he is coming into this year.
I definitely wanted to make a statement and prove to myself that my boxing is definitely on par with an elite level. I definitely wanted to prove that and I think I did, Curran told MMAWeekly.com.
It felt great to get five rounds and find out where my cardio and endurance is and push myself to see where I can improve and better myself after that.
Originally Curran was set to make his second title defense against Daniel Straus at Bellator 95 on April 4 in Atlantic City, NJ, live on Spike TV. Straus, however, suffered an injury, so Curran will face Shahbulat Shamhalaev instead.Theyre definitely different fighters and I have to go in there with a completely different mindset and gameplan, but I feel like Im an experienced, well-rounded fighter and little tweaks here and there will make the difference, said Curran.
Going into this fight, this is my fourth title fight with Bellator, and Im very confident with my experience going into this fight. Ive been through a couple five-round wars and I know what its like to fight 25 minutes and prepare for it and not wear myself out.
Now that hes risen to the top of Bellator, Curran knows hes going to have to continue to work just as hard as he did before to stay where hes at.
Ive been in everyone elses shoes and I know what theyve been through and what theyre going through and what they want, he said. Everybody wants what I have right now.
I worked really hard to get where Im at. I put a lot of hours in the gym and a lot of time into things and Im definitely not going to let go of things easily. Youre going to have to pretty much kill me to take that away from me.
