For most fighters, a career-defining victory is usually followed by the easiest opponent that can still justify a pay-per-view payday. Such is the business of boxing today.
But not so with Andre Ward and Chad Dawson. Ten months after Ward captured the Super Six tournament title and five months after Dawson decisioned Bernard Hopkins to win the WBC light heavyweight belt, they are fighting each other -- without tune-ups. Moreover, Dawson, a 3 ½-1 'dog, is shedding seven pounds for the opportunity to topple an almost universal pound-for-pound entrant in the hopes of adding his own name to those lists.
High risk. High reward. Old-school prize-fighting. This is the way boxing should be.
Will "S.O.G." -- short for "Son of God" -- become a boxing deity or will "Bad Chad" beat the devil out of him? Their respective CompuBox histories offer the following clues:
The Model of Efficiency: The average super middleweight throws 54.5 punches per round, and in his last five fights Ward only exceeded that output twice -- 54.6 against Arthur Abraham and 56 against Mikkel Kessler. Otherwise, Ward likes to take his time, pick his spots and score at a high rate.
In beating Carl Froch for the Super Six title, Ward averaged 47.8 but landed 42.4% of his overall punches and power shots as well as an impressive 42.5% of his jabs, fueling connect advantages of 243-156 (total), 107-47 (jabs) and 136-109 (power) despite throwing 110 fewer punches overall and 88 less power punches.
In decisioning Sako Bika, Ward averaged just 36.2 punches per round but again the percentages were high (45.1% total, 37.4% jabs, 50% power) and the connect leads decisive in two categories (194-146 total, 64-25 jabs, 132-121 power). The formula also applied against Allan Green (49.2 per round, 43.3% overall, 49.8% power) and Mikkel Kessler (56 per round, 43.3% overall, 49.8% power). Only Abraham's high-hands defense kept Ward from repeating the blueprint against him (he threw 54.6 per round but landed 27% overall, 22.3% jabs and 37.9% power), but "King Arthur" defeated himself by throwing just 28.2 punches per round and failing to penetrate Ward's defense (22.8% overall, 9% jabs, 33.3% power).
Gumming Up Opponents: Ward's offensive shrewdness is a product of his tight defense and his counter-punching ability has forced opponents to think twice before committing.
Froch, who averaged 77.2 against Glen Johnson, 77.6 against Abraham and 80.1 against Kessler, threw just 56.9 against Ward. Kessler, who averaged 103.7 vs. Mehdi Bouadla, 71.3 against Librado Andrade and 56.8 vs. Froch, threw just 36.7 against Ward.
Those output drops were amplified by Ward's defense, which held Froch to 23% overall, 19% jabs and 25% power and Kessler to 34% overall, 19% jabs and 36% power. If a fighter knows his punches will likely not land, he throws less. That plays right into Ward's hands.
Stylistic Transition: Earlier in his career, Dawson was one of boxing's best combination punchers and, as such, was capable of big numbers. Against Epifanio Mendoza (KO 4), Dawson averaged 73 per round, landed 47% overall and 58% power and amassed connect bulges of 136-32 (total), 28-10 (jabs) and 108-22 (power).
Since then, Dawson has become a technical boxer who, like Ward, is an efficient power puncher. He landed 47.9% of them in the rematch against Hopkins' usually airtight defense, 58.8% against Adrian Diaconu, 56.3% in his rematch against Glen Johnson and 42% in their first match.
That transition has also unearthed a potentially fatal flaw: His offense mirrors that of his opponent. When that opponent revved up the offense, as did Johnson, Dawson reacted accordingly. He answered Johnson's 69.1-per-round pace with 79 per round and in the rematch he averaged 63 to Johnson's 58.7. Against Diaconu, who threw 49.2, Johnson threw 51.7 and against Pascal, who averaged 40.2, Dawson threw 40.8.
But in both fights against Hopkins Dawson fell into "B-Hop's" slow-down trap. In fight one, Dawson -- who pledged to force a hard pace on the 46-year-old -- threw just 27.5 per round to Hopkins' 14.5. In the rematch, which he won convincingly, Dawson still threw 35.9 to Hopkins' 33.3. If Dawson wants to beat Ward on Ward's home turf, he must take the initiative -- and maintain it throughout. But his phlegmatic nature and recent history suggests he won't.
Prediction: This fight is being staged in Ward's hometown, in Ward's weight class and Ward hasn't lost a fight since puberity. Give Dawson credit for rolling the dice, but here he'll fall to Ward's slow pace and methodical boxing. Ward by decision.

4-month-old hospitalized for head trauma, parents charged
Wed, 05 Jun 2013 14:32:28 GMT —
A Harlingen mother and father have been charged with injury to a child after their 4-month-old suffered head trauma.
Police responded to Valley Baptist Medical Center on May 25 in reference to the injured baby.
The child TMs parents Veronica Quintero and Sean Banuelos gave conflicting stories to officers as to how the baby hurt its head.
Both parents stories were inconsistent with one another and investigators believed the 20-year-old and the 22-year-old knowingly caused the head trauma.
A warrant was issued for their arrest.
On Monday, the parents were taken into custody near the 7900 block of South Expressway 77 in Brownsville.
Quintero TMs bond was set at $500,000 and Banuelos was set at $600,000.

Manitoba Census
The pre-1870 censuses of Manitoba (Red River Settlement) list the heads of households and some other information such as, age, religion, country of birth, married or widowed, number of sons and daughters, and agricultural data (for example, the number of livestock, the number of buildings, and the number of acres under cultivation). Almost all of these censuses were taken by the Hudson's Bay Company. The Hudson's Bay Company Archives at http://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/hbca/ has censuses for the years 1827, 1828, 1829, 1830, 1831, 1832, 1833, 1835, 1838, 1840, and 1843, and these are indexed. A microfilm copy for the first two hundred years of this company, 1670–1870, is on deposit at the National Archives of Canada and at the Family History Library. The Provincial Archives of Manitoba at http://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/ has censuses for the years 1832, 1833, 1838, 1840, 1843, 1846–1847, 1849, and 1856 (incomplete). These censuses are available on microfilm at the National Archives of Canada, the Family History Library, or at local Family History Centers. The first census with names of each member of the household of Manitoba was taken in 1870. It includes names, ages, places of birth, religion, and citizenship. There is a surname index to this census. Censuses for Manitoba with names of each member of the household were also taken in 1881, 1891, and 1901. These censuses are available on microfilm at the National Archives of Canada, the Family History Library, Family History Centers, and at many provincial archives and larger public libraries. The 1885 and 1886 provincial censuses as well as the Canadian censuses from 1921 to the present are not available to the public, although catalogs and finding aids may be available.

Plymouth –– More than 100 scholars from around the world will present their latest research on many aspects of medieval and Renaissance culture at the 32nd annual Medieval and Renaissance Forum, April 15-16 at Plymouth State University.
The Forum opens at 9 a.m. Friday with a procession from Rounds Hall to the Hartman Union Building (HUB). A traditional opening ceremony follows in the HUB Fireplace Lounge.
The theme of this year's event is "Love, Friendship, Marriage," exploring how secular and religious love, affection and devotion were perceived and expressed in a variety of contexts. Conference Director Karolyn Kinane says, "This year's theme offers us insights into particularly personal, intimate and private moments of medieval and Renaissance culture, things that are often difficult to recover."
Concurrent scholarly sessions are held in Rounds Hall throughout the day on Friday and Saturday and are open to the public. A full schedule will be online at Plymouth.edu/medieval.
Professor Thomas Luxon of Dartmouth College will present the Forum keynote address on "How Human Life Began: Sexual reproduction in Paradise Lost," at 1 p.m. Saturday in the Hage Room at the HUB. Luxon is professor of English, Cheheyl Professor, and director of the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning. His talk is open to the public free of charge.

21st Century Media: New Frontiers, New Barriers
We're pretty lucky, not only as online marketers who are "plugged in" daily, working with new media and technology, which allows us to interact with people all over the world and receive up to date news; but also, just as people living in the U.S., who have the freedom of press. Because not everyone does.
The United States is proud to host the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) World Press Freedom Day Event, which has occurred as a series of events over the past few days in Washington D.C. UNESCO is the only UN agency with the mandate to promote the freedom of expression and the freedom of the press.
This year's theme is 21st Century Media: New Frontiers, New Barriers. New media plays an important role in all of our daily lives and has changed the way we communicate with each other and the world. Philip J. Crowley, Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of Public Affairs said it best in a press statement in December of 2010, "The United States places technology and innovation at the forefront of its diplomatic and development efforts. New media has empowered citizens around the world to report on their circumstances, express opinions on world events, and exchange information in environments sometimes hostile to such exercises of individuals' right to freedom of expression."
We saw the importance of this need for expression and communication through online and offline media in the recent Middle East protests. Social media played a major role in the organization of the protests in Tunisia and Egypt, while it also kept those across the world informed of what was occurring. The government saw the internet as such a threat that it shut down internet and phone access across the country. But that didn't stop the revolution, it fueled it.
The internet has allowed the spread of information tenfold. People have more opportunities to share their reactions to events and news, their personal knowledge, or what they're thinking at any given moment. Whether it be through blogs, Facebook, Twitter, or online news sites, information is being shared. We have the technology to interact with it every day. So let's celebrate that!
But we also need to help fight for those who do not yet have the technology and the freedom of press that we do. Take a minute and think about what freedom of expression means to you. And let us know…
One thought on "21st Century Media: New Frontiers, New Barriers"
Great article and thought provoking, thanks.

A SILVER service is celebrating 25 years as a lifeline for Northwich and Winsford residents.
Dial a Ride was formed in 1989 and proves as vital today as it did then.
It is a door to door service that provides transport for those who struggle getting on or off ordinary buses or find it difficult to reach the nearest bus stop.
It was set up by Vale Royal Council for Voluntary Service, now Cheshire Community Development Trust (CCDT), with support from the former Cheshire County Council.
Arthur Neil, CCDT's chief executive, said: "The passengers overwhelmingly appreciate the service.
"Our annual passenger survey shows how much many of them rely on it for their independence and to combat loneliness.
"A common statement is 'Dial a Ride is my lifeline'.
"The drivers get a special mention too as they frequently escort passengers to and from their front door, help carry the shopping – and change the odd light bulb."
CCDT's community transport service has already carried more than 5,000 passengers in 2014.
The service has also been praised by health minister Jane Ellison and Weaver Vale MP Graham Evans.
Mr Evans said: "I was very pleased to show the minister the Dial a Ride services which help so many people who find using public transport difficult across the Northwich, Frosdsham and Winsford areas.
"I took a trip on the service myself last month and spoke with many of the users who explained how Cheshire CDT provide a lifeline to them."
For more information about community transport call Sue or Jo on 01606 784100.

9/11 Never Forget Community Action Garden
The University at Buffalo Honors College is planning a 9/11 day of service in collaboration with the None Like You/We Care Community Block Club on the East side of Buffalo. We will Bring 50 University Honors College students, all working on semester long service projects, to the East side to help the block club put in a new garden in a vacant lot (corner of Sycamore and Johnson) just recently turned over to the community by the city. The lot will be transformed into a 9/11 "Never Forget" community action garden. Adorned with flags commemorating those lost, the garden will be a tribute to the spirit of togetherness and community involvement which allowed for physical and emotional rebuilding following the attack on our nation.
The struggles that Mrs. Triggs, the founder and president of the block club, faced in obtaining the vacant lot from the city were recently highlighted in a front page article in the Buffalo News. (http://www.buffalonews.com/city/communities/buffalo/article444355.ece) I believe that Mrs. Triggs efforts and the efforts of her entire organization exemplify the ways in which people can overcome obstacles and come together to rebuild community. The community has decided to come together to do something about the deterioration of their neighborhoods and have rallied around Mrs. Triggs. With our support this new community garden can serve as a permanent reminder of a time when the community came together to take a negative aspect of their neighborhood and turn it into a vestige of patriotism and pride.
We also believe that bringing our UB Honors students into this neighborhood will make them more aware of difference and more dedicated to understanding diversity. The neighborhood where the community action garden is being placed is located in a low SES community. Many university students do not realize the privilege of their own education and the struggles of the less fortunate.
Aside from 50 Honors students, ages 18-20, slated to attend we will also be sending out a description of this event to freshman colloquium students who are already working on poverty, housing, or urban education related service projects. In addition, Mrs. Triggs community club has agreed to utilize their vast network of volunteers to reach out to youth in the community that may want to participate.
This day of service presents local officials with a great opportunity to demonstrate their support for engaged citizens who are attempting to beautify, organize and otherwise rebuild their communities. Senator Schumer's office has already committed to sending two representatives to our event and we expect many more local officials to follow suit. We have currently appealed to the local common council member, the county legislature, federal representatives Slaughter and Higgins, state senators, and the UB President to encourage them to attend our event.
- Transform an overgrown vacant lot, littered with trash and dangerous items, into a source of patriotism and community pride for the East Side of Buffalo.
- Get UB Honors students off campus and into the city to apply the knowledge they have learned to better the community in which they live.
- Involve local officials and media to not only bring to light the problems being faced by our communities but more importantly to highlight the heroic efforts of the individuals and groups that constantly strive to improve our city.
- Teach our students and young people in the community about the spirit of community togetherness and the power of group action which were so vital to the physical and emotional rebuilding after the events of 9/11.

Engelbert Humperdinck soared to number one with 'The Last Waltz'
A singer with legions of fans known as Humperdinckers, Engelbert Humperdinck has won audiences over since his breakthrough hit Release Me in 1967. Since then the English-born singer has had a string of international hits and toured the globe hundreds of times.
Changing his name from Arnold Dorsey to Engelbert Humperdinck in 1965 to help him stand out helped put him on the map. The original Engelbert Humperdinck was a 19th-century opera composer with one of his most famous works being Hansel and Gretel.
When Humperdinck released Release Me, it was such a monster hit that it even kept The Beatles from the top spot! In 1968, Humperdinck released The Last Waltz which to date is still one of his biggest hits of all time. Written by Barry Mason and Les Reed the song is a double entendre referring to both the singer's first and final dance with his love.
Through the good and bad we'd get along
And then the flame of love died in your eye
My heart was broke in two when you said goodbye
I had the last waltz with you
The song was a huge success stay at the top of the UK and Australian charts for five weeks. The song was also covered in a French-language version titled La Dernière Valse as well as covered by Downtown singer Petula Clark which she also sang in French.
The Last Waltz has continued to be a staple of Humperdinck's stage show as he continues to perform for audiences around the world at the age of 80. He's still wowing his Humperdinckers with his blazing live show.
What is your favourite Engelbert Humperdinck song? Have you had the chance to see him in concert? Let us know in the comments below and be sure to share this with other Humperdinckers you know.

ACCORD, N.Y. -- The chairwoman of the Ulster County Legislature could face a re-election challenge from within her own party.
At a town of Rochester Republican Committee meeting on April 17, party members Manuela Michailescu and John Dawson announced their candidacy for the legislative seat now held by two-term Legislator Terry Bernardo. Bernardo has said she will seek election to a third two-year term in the county Legislature.
Bernardo, 47, first was elected in 2009 in a five-way race for four at-large seats in her district. In 2011, she was elected to the new District 21 seat that created under the county's reapportionment plan. The district comprises all of Rochester and small portion of eastern Wawarsing.
Michailescu, 63, is a former two-term Rochester town councilwoman who ran unsuccessfully against Bernardo in 2009 and again in 2011.
Dawson is a newcomer to politics.
Rochester GOP Chairman David O'Halloran said the committee didn't endorse any Legislature candidate at the April 17 meeting but may make an informal recommendation at its May 22 meeting.
The Ulster County Republican Committee will endorse candidates for office at its May 29 convention, though anyone interested in running for office must gather the requisite number of signatures on petitions in order to appear on the ballot.
Multiple petitions within a single legislative district from members of the same party would lead to a primary.

applicable maximum rate, unless the existing Agreement or related
discount contract provides otherwise, or unless Natural and Shipper
negotiate a different rate at the time of the point change. Unless
otherwise specifically agreed, if the point change results in a shortened

Westwood puts US Open case
Lee Westwood hopes his St Jude Classic triumph will prove to be the perfect preparation for this week's US Open.
The 37-year-old claimed his first PGA Tour win for 12 years, beating Sweden's Robert Karlsson at the fourth hole of a sudden-death play-off in Memphis and will now attempt to go one better at the second major of the year following his runner-up finish to Phil Mickelson at the US Masters in April.
Westwood, who has already practised at Pebble Beach, said: "I like being competitive before a major championship, to be competitive at the tournament and boost my confidence."
He added: "Obviously, this week is a little bit draining with the temperature it gets to here but, because I've been to Pebble Beach and done most of my preparation, I can take it easy with that for the next three days and build up my fitness and stamina for when the tournaments kicks off on Thursday."
Westwood played two practise rounds at the US Open venue last week, telling his website, http://www.leewestwood.com: "The course was in spectacular condition. A real demand and test. It's going to be tough."
The Worksop golfer finished fifth the last time the US Open was at Pebble Beach in 2000 and he is bound to get plenty of attention when the tournament starts having been paired with Tiger Woods and Ernie Els.
Westwood also has reason to believe the luck could be with him.
American Robert Garrigus looked certain to triumph in Memphis when he led by three shots heading to the last but a triple bogey sparked a three-way play-off, and he was eliminated at the first extra hole.
In the years following his New Orleans triumph in 1998, Westwood has so often been the nearly man, and he was relieved to end his American drought.
"It's definitely nice to win again," he added. "Nobody likes negative questions when you try to be positive all the time. You get into contention, sometimes you don't finish it off. It's nice to now say 12 years for my second one."

James Becker's pulse-pounding debut thriller, The First Apostle, made critics and genre fans alike stand up and take notice. An equally taut sequel, The Messiah Secret follows a young woman and her ex-husband as they seek to solve one of history's greatest mysteries. On assignment at a lavish English mansion, museum conservator Angela Lewis makes a shocking discovery. Buried in an ancient clay jar is a parchment - a document detailing the life and times of Jesus. This miracle-find also describes the Messiah's final resting place. Enlisting the aid of her ex-husband Chris, Angela sets off on an international quest to discover the tomb's true contents. But their journey is made all the more dangerous by a power-mad priest and a greedy industrialist. From the quiet English countryside to the bone-chilling cold of the Himalayas, this globetrotting adventure will hold listeners in rapt attention till the very end. Narrator Graeme Malcolm doesn't miss a beat delivering a pitch-perfect reading of Becker's riveting prose.

Having the memory of an elephant can be a truth-telling bitch at times and a godsend at others. There are too many embarrassing nights I wish I could block out of my mind. On the plus side, I can remember everything about my Grade 7 French teacher, Madame (Mme.) Menard. She was a young-ish, beautiful, new teacher who taught for the love of the language and was serious as a heart attack (10 cent line of the day) and hell-bent on turning the class into Francophones by the end of the year. In fact the only cracks in her prim and proper exterior appeared, infrequently, when a funny part of what we were reading made her chuckle (she would let out a "Woopalai!" or "Oiyoiyoiyoiyoi...!" while we sat stone-faced in front of her) and, often, when a particular story, poem, or image moved her to tears. During these emotionally charged times, she would stop, bow her head a little, and say, "it 'urts my 'eart." Needless to say, the gang of clowns to which I belonged latched onto the pensive, lovely phrase like a baby to a teat and used it for EVERYTHING. A girl looks super hot in crazy tight jeans? "Ooh, it 'urts my 'eart." Someone got bagged in dodgeball? "Ouch, it 'urts my 'eart." Someone let out a disgusting fart during gym class? "Ewwuuch, it 'urts my 'eart."
I can appreciate Mme.'s catchphrase now that I'm older. If it didn't sound so ridiculously faux-French, I would have used it when my son smiled, babbled, or crawled for the first time, when the Ottawa Senators made it to the Stanley Cup Finals last year (despite getting their asses handed to them by Anaheim), and whenever I have listened to Castanets.

AHi guys
I've been asked to make a novelty cake for a diabetic lady and have absolutely no idea where to start!
Can anybody please help with:
1) A sponge cake recipe that is suitable for carving into the shape of a handbag.
2) An alternative to fondant as I'm guessing there probably isn't a sugar-free version.
Many thanks!
AMaking a diabetic-friendly cake is very complicated, we tried for months and could not come up with a recipe with a good enough taste and texture to sell. (Some recipes were OK, but not good enough in our opinion for a product someone pays for.)
Many diabetic recipes we found when doing our research use white flour, which is not really acceptable to a diabetic due to the high glycemic index, so you would need to experiment with low glycemic flours like amaranth, quinoa, or sorghum. I doubt you will be able to put together a cake that will hold up to carving.
When we got requests from diabetic customers, I would share my personal opinion that a tiny piece of excellent non-diabetic cake is preferable to a regular-sized piece of mediocre diabetic cake.
AThanks Jason!
I've been looking up diabetic recipes all afternoon and none of them sound as nice as a "proper" cake so I think I will go with the "just have a teeny bit" route. They could always peel off the fondant to limit the sugar/carb damage anyway.
Some people recommend cheesecakes for diabetics: no flour, eggs are okay, not as much sugar as in a cake, etc. (Maybe you could use one of the sugar substitutes).
I am a recently diagnosed diabetic. I am constantly looking for food sources that will work with my eating plan for being a diabetic. Here is a blog that I use: http://mariahealth.blogspot.com/ . I haven't tried many things here yet but I am impressed with quantity of choices. I know she has a red velvet cake recipe. As a diabetic, my main goal is to watch out for those carbs. Everyone is different and can tolerate carbs in a different manner. I cannot tolerate carbs in any fashion so I must regulate my eating plan very carefully.
Another blog site I use is: http://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/ . I know that she has a recipe for red velvet donuts and cupcakes, for example. I haven't tried that one yet but do plan to very soon.
I don't "need" sweets so I don't often try these recipes. I did make a sugar-free apple tart for Thanksgiving and really liked it.
Hope this helps.
Im diabetic myself and agree with this
I would share my personal opinion that a tiny piece of excellent non-diabetic cake is preferable to a regular-sized piece of mediocre diabetic cake.

The area's two NCAA Division II men's basketball teams continue to earn postseason honors.
Cal Baptist first-year head coach Rick Croy, who was named PacWest Conference coach of the year, was named one of 12 finalists for the 2014 Clarence "Big House" Gaines award, presented to the NCAA Division II national coach of the year. Cal State San Bernardino coach Jeff Oliver is also a finalist after guiding the Coyotes to their ninth all-time CCAA regular-season title and a berth in the NCAA tournament.
Croy led the Lancers to a 24-4 record after opening the season 16-0. CBU moved up the national polls during its early win streak and reached as high as No. 7 in the NABC poll. The Lancers also earned a berth in their first NCAA tournament in their first year of eligibility.
Oliver guided the Coyotes to one of their best seasons in a decade. The Coyotes won the CCAA title before being upset in the conference tournament. Cal State also hosted the NCAA West Regional but fell to a hot Chico State team in the regional semifinals.
The winner of the 2014 Gaines award will be announced Friday in Dallas at the CollegeInsider.com Awards Banquet.
The finalists also include Derrick Clark (Metropolitan State), Robert Corn (Missouri Southern), Michael Donnelly (Southern Connecticut State), Leon Douglas (Tuskegee), Stan Gouard (Indianapolis), Steve Hettinga (Lake Superior State), Lonn Reisman (Tarleton State), Josh Schertz (Lincoln Memorial), Jeff Wilson (East Stroudsburg) and Greg Zimmerman (Alderson-Broaddus).
CBU freshman Ryan Berg also continues to rack up postseason honors. The PacWest Freshman of the Year, PacWest Player of the Year, Daktronics All-West Region and NABC All-West District selection, was named to the SmallCollegeHoops.com All-America fourth team.
Berg averaged a team-high 17.6 points per game and added 51 assists.
Big West track honors
UC Riverside's Ted Hooper and Phoenisha Schuhmeier were selected Big West Male and Female Field Athlete of the Week after earning first-place finishes at the UCR Spring Classic.
Hooper, a 2013 Second Team All-American, won the long jump with a leap of 25-3.50. The mark leads the Big West this season, and is third-best in the country. Hooper already owns the school record at 25-8.
Schuhmeier won the long jump with a mark of 20-1.50, tops in the Big West this season.

Ahhhh, the lazy days of summer. Today's steal, the Basic Grey Hopscotch collection, takes me back to the days when the thrill of the summer was someone getting a new Hopscotch board painted on their driveway, and the smell of a brand new swirly hoppy taw. Sure, this probably dates me, but those are fond memories of my summer vacations clear back in the ::gasp:: 70's.
While the Hopscotch collection makes me reminisce of my youth, there is absolutely nothing vintage 70's about these papers. It's such a whimsical, fun collection that evokes simpler times.
This collection is so much fun to play with! It was a collection I thought was really cute, but wow, once I got chopping the papers I didn't want to stop!
I love the Basic Grey Ribbon Doilies and used them as the foundation of my card design. I started with the pennant design and came up with this card.
I love the pink butterfly/flower inspired trim and used it on my next card.
Of course I couldn't leave the final doily trim unloved, so made this cute little "love you" card.
The chipboard pieces are won-der-ful. They actually stick and come in such a wide variety of shapes and designs. I used some of the border pieces to mimic the idea of the doilies in the previous cards.
Thank you, Basic Grey, for that fun and carefree crafting session!
Don't forget there is a little more time to participate in the We R Memory Keepers Operation Write Home Card Drive. As a little incentive and a huge thank you to those participating, we have a lovely Red White and Blue Stack Pack that will be given to one random winner who participates in the Operation Write Home Card Drive.

MGM Resorts gets license for Prince George's County casino
BALTIMORE (AP/WJLA) - MGM Resorts International has won a license for a new casino near the nation's capital in Maryland.
A state commission voted 5-2 in favor of MGM's bid Friday in Baltimore.
MGM proposed building a $925 million resort near the Potomac River at National Harbor with a 300-suite hotel, casino and seven restaurants. The casino plan includes 3,600 slot machines and 140 table games like blackjack and roulette.
"I want to build the most beautiful and iconic, successful resort," says MGM CEO Jim Murren. "I think outside of Las Vegas this will be the most profitable commercial resort in the United States."
The plan is to break ground next year in order to be open by July 2016.
Prince George's Racing Ventures LLC, a subsidiary of Penn National, and Maryland Casino LLC, a subsidiary of Greenwood Racing, also proposed building a casino in Prince George's County, not far from Washington.
Maryland voters approved a casino in the county last year after lawmakers agreed to expand gambling in a special session.

MAYS LANDING - Tyree Kelly testified he was doing a friend a favor when he cleaned two guns used in a fatal Pleasantville home invasion and then tried to get rid of them - only to have police take him into custody.
Jeremiah Jackson, 21, of Atlantic City, is on trial on a murder charge in the killing of Ellis Spell inside the man's East Thompson Avenue home Dec. 9, 2011.
Kelly, who agreed to testify for the prosecution and has not been charged in the case, said that the day after the killing, he met his friend Jackson at a barbershop, at the defendant's request.
"Did you watch the news?" Jackson asked, according to Kelly. "Did you hear about the guy who got killed in Pleasantville?"
When he said he hadn't, Jackson told him one more thing: "He said, 'I did it,'" Kelly testified.
Kelly took a long pause before giving that answer Thursday, rubbing his face and sniffling several times as he testified against Jackson.
"Do you want to be here today?" Assistant Prosecutor Seth Levy asked.
"No, sir," Kelly replied. "It's just real tough."
The state alleges Jackson and two unidentified others - described to him, Kelly said, only as an older man and a younger one - tried to break into Spell's home, when the man got in their way.
As Spell tried to keep the men out at his back door, a shotgun dropped, and Jackson was struck by a shell that went through his thumb, Kelly said he was told.
That's when the .22-caliber revolver gun went off and Spell, 51, was struck twice.
"Did (Jackson) say he shot Ellis Spell?" Levy asked.
"I'm not 100 percent sure whether he said that or not," Kelly replied. "He said he was shot and it hit him in his hand and the gun went off. I pictured in my head that that meant he had the gun."
But Levy later pointed to Kelly's statement to police in which he said Jackson shot the gun.
That initial statement included Kelly saying he was taking the guns to the police station, where he was going to leave them anonymously, he admitted under cross-examination.
Defense attorney Robert Gamburg raised many questions about "lies" in what Kelly told police.
But those were "prior to the agreement," Kelly told Gamburg.
That agreement was that, if Kelly told police what happened, he wouldn't be charged.
"Instead of looking at this time, you can tell us the truth," Kelly said he was told.
As a favor to his friend, Kelly testified, he agreed to clean and get rid of the guns, which he said Jackson left in a closet of Kelly's Buzby Village home in Atlantic City.
He doesn't know how they got there, he said, but the apartment never was locked.
Kelly said he recognized the shotgun, because it was one a friend had left at his home before.
He also had seen the .22-caliber murder weapon. Kelly said Jackson showed it to him, and that he examined it at the time because he thought the long-nosed revolver seemed too big to be only a .22.
During cross-examination, Kelly agreed he had pictures on his phone of him with the shotgun and other guns, but not the murder weapon.
Kelly testified he planned to take the guns to Philadelphia, to a place a friend was supposed to set up. Instead, that man notified police.
When Gamburg asked Kelly if the real reason he was getting rid of the guns was because he was protecting himself, Kelly replied: "I didn't commit the crime."
Kelly said he was with his then-girlfriend in Camden County the night of the killing, a Friday, then came home Saturday to return his daughter, which is when he called Jackson, who asked him to meet up at the barbershop. Records show he purchased a train ticket to Camden on Friday.
He then went back to the woman, who testified she was with him the whole time, until she drove him to the train station Monday morning.
The defense has admitted Jackson was shot inside the house, but denies he was the one who killed Ellis.
Closing arguments are expected Monday morning. Jackson told Superior Court Judge Mark Sandson that he does not plan to testify in his own defense.

Tiger Woods had nothing.
He hit his tee shot so poorly and so far right on the fourth hole yesterday in the final round of the Buick Invitational that he ended up in the middle of the fifth fairway.
Twenty minutes later, on the fifth green, he gagged on a 2-foot putt. Over the entire weekend on the Torrey Pines South Course, he didn't roll in a birdie longer than 10 feet.
And Tiger Woods won.
If that doesn't speak volumes about his will and his aura, nothing does.
"Frankly, I shouldn't have been in the playoff," Woods said matter-of-factly after he'd beaten Jose Maria Olazabal and PGA Tour rookie Nathan Green with two pars in overtime.
That Woods' 47th tour triumph – his second straight Buick win and third in five years – was finally achieved when Olazabal missed a 4-foot par putt, after Green had collapsed with a bogey on the first playoff hole, said a lot about the grinding nature of the victory.
The final round of even-par 72 was the highest Woods has recorded in any of his championships here, and the winning score of 10-under 278 was six shots worse than his previous two wins on the redesigned South Course. It was 12 strokes higher than his victory on the old track in 1999.
"This week it was just one of those weeks where either I hit it great or I didn't hit it at all, and then I made everything for a little stretch or I made nothing," said Woods, who won $918,000. "No gray areas for some reason." It would have a lot to do with Woods taking a month off heading into his first start of the season, with putting a new driver into play, and with struggling to find a consistent putting stroke on greens that got bumpier as the days and hours went on.
Woods seemed to get into a nice groove on Friday and Saturday when he shot 68-67 on the South, but there seemed to be no cumulative positive effect yesterday, when the world's No. 1 player hit only nine of 14 fairways, reached only 13 of 18 greens in regulation and required a personal tournament high of 32 putts.
Woods certainly didn't look as if he had any better chance of winning than the other 10 players who had a portion of the lead sometime in the bizarre and thrilling final round, including Norway's Henrik Bjornstad, ranked No. 900 in the world, and Green, the 253rd-ranked golfer who with an eagle on 13 forged a two-shot lead.
But after struggling to a 37 on the front nine, Woods bore down enough to make three birdies and score 1-under on the back, and that was good enough to catch Green and Olazabal, both of whom scored an incoming 36.
It was a comeback reminiscent of Woods' victory here last year, when he overcame a two-shot deficit against Luke Donald with five holes to play. "It's always more meaningful to do it when you have to," Woods said. "I had no other choice. I had to hit the ball in the fairway to give myself a chance because I was behind.
"Today on the back nine, hitting the shots like I did off the tees, it felt just as good as hitting those last two shots at Augusta when I absolutely had to (in last year's playoff victory over Chris DiMarco)."
With a birdie required to get into the playoff with Green and Olazabal, after both had birdied 18, Woods hit a perfect tee shot on the last hole of regulation and reached the par-5's green in two. But when he hit his first 73-foot putt 6 feet past, he left himself with a ticklish challenge, especially considering he'd already three-putted three times.
"I kept saying, 'At least give you a chance,' " Woods said. "I shouldn't have had the opportunity. I made it into a putting situation, and I said this putt doesn't break as much as it looks. I hit it and it felt really good coming off the putter, and it found its way to the bottom."
As Woods said, no gray area, though. When he had a chance to win with a birdie on the first extra hole (No. 18), after Olazabal had missed a birdie chip, Woods misfired on an 8-footer, forcing a second extra hole.
Olazabal, a comeback winner five years ago in the Buick Invitational, hit the left bunker on the par-3 16th, but he played a great sand shot to 4 feet. It looked as if he would force another playoff hole after Woods made a two-putt par from 37 feet.
But Olazabal missed the short putt, just as John Daly did in losing a playoff to Woods in last October's American Express Championship in San Francisco. As he did in that instance, the only consolation Woods could offer was, "Sorry." "I feel bad," Woods said. "I want to win it with a birdie on 18; just hit a bad putt. You don't ever want to see anyone miss a short one like that."
On this day, it hit way too close to home for the champion.

NEW PORT RICHEY — County officials and firefighter union representatives have signed off on a proposed one-year contract that goes to a union vote early next month.
Negotiations started again after the union in September narrowly rejected a proposed contract for the current fiscal year, which started Oct. 1. That rejected contract contained two major union concessions: no 5 percent pay raises and only four, rather than 10, paid holidays.
The key difference between the new contract and the one that failed? Firefighters would keep all 10 paid holidays, said personnel director Barbara DeSimone. (Unlike other county employees, union members get paid time and a half for every holiday regardless of whether they work.)
If the union ratifies the contract, it would go to commissioners for approval. If the contract fails again, officials may declare an impasse.

When I print on my HP LaserJet 1100, the right-hand side of each line of print is cut off. I can sometimes cure the cutoff by printing in landscape. I printed a series of pages from a site with directions and photos of fishing knots, and each line was cut off. Do you have a suggestion to solve this problem?
As long as you are using Internet Explorer 7, you may be able to use the Print Scaling feature. Go to Print Preview from within Internet Explorer and then adjust the Change Print Size setting to something that works better for you. It will most likely be set at the Shrink To Fit default setting. Clicking the down arrow will present you options to shrink the page down further, which may allow you to fit the entire contents on one printed page.

JERUSALEM (May. 18)
Ernst Japhet, former chairman of Bank Leumi, was sentenced this week to an 11-month prison term and fined some $300,000 for fraudulently manipulating his bank's shares in Israel's biggest financial scandal ever.
Japhet, who four months ago returned here from New York after fleeing Israel more than 10 years ago, personified the country's banking establishment for most Israelis until the 1983 bank shares scandal.
He was the last of the senior officials at Israel's leading banks to face trial on charges surrounding the 1983 scandal.
Japhet's sentence was the severest to be handed down by the Jerusalem District Court against any of those involved in the affair.
In April, the nation's leading banks and more than a dozen of their top officials were given large fines, and the executives sentenced to prison, on charges relating to the scandal.
The manipulation of bank share prices a decade ago spurred buying of shares until they dominated 70 percent of the market. When the Tel Aviv Stock Market crashed in October 1983, many small investors and private businesses were devastated, and billions of shekels were lost.
Only the intervention of the government, which effectively nationalized the banks, prevented large-scale bankruptcies and the closings of major banks.
When the sentence was delivered Wednesday, Judge Miriam Naor described Japhet as bearing "the largest share" of responsibility for the crisis.
Among the others who were previously tried in connection with the banking scandal, the harshest sentence was eight months in prison and a fine of approximately $200,000. That sentence was given to Japhet's second in command at Bank Leumi, Mordechai Einhorn.
Japhet took the news of his sentence with the same stony stoicism with which he received last week's guilty verdict. It is considered certain that he will launch an appeal.

So you say you're a fan of chicken salad, but you haven't checked out Fred's Ultima Café &Market (400A Clematis St., West Palm Beach, 5616599877). For shame! OK, perhaps you can be forgiven for thinking Fred's is a health food store, 'cause it is, selling items like vitamin supplements and wheat grass. And maybe I'll cut you some slack for believing that Fred's is a juice-and-smoothie bar, 'cause it is, squeezing and crushing oranges, bananas, melons, grapes, pineapples, and strawberries on the spot. But make no mistake, this sparkling little grocery-cum-café is no vegetarian hangout, regardless of its brown rice with steamed veggies and Gardenburger entrées. Witness the five different kinds of chicken salad: dill, walnut-raisin, curry, Dijon, and chunky. It may not be Eden for the egg-layers themselves, but it's sure poultry paradise forus.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Hello there:
are the children? How old is the daughter? What is your current visitation order?
My suggestion is to seriously consider asking for a change in the custody order. This would need to be brought by motion or OSC independent of the child support motion scheduled for 04/14, using forms FL-300 or FL-301, and FL-310.
Although there is no age at which children get to decide where they live, the court factors the wishes of a child into their decision. The older a child is, the greater weight their opinion has. A 16 year old almost always gets to decide where they want to live simply because they are almost adults and they could easily "run away" if they are ignored in these delicate situations. The fact that your contact is being restricted is the icing on the cake. I would definitely like your odds if you brought this back into court.
Let me know if I may be of further assistance. Thank you.
I plan to bring this back to court ASAP but I make less than $45K per year therefore hiring an attorney is somthing that I feel is very unlikely to happen. Thank you for your information. I plan to file the OSC asap before my support court date.
You are welcome. Please remember to click "accept" if you are satisfied with my service. Thanks!

Last week, FamilySearch reported that the 1940 census indexes for all 50 states is complete, as are the indexes for Guam, Panama Canal, and Virgin Islands. The final two territories, American Somoa and Puerto Rico, should be posted soon. According to their blog post on August 21, the project "started on the April 4th of this year. With the posting of the last states today, we have published the census 73 days earlier than expected!" That's incredible!!
The ISGS indexing group was a major contributor to this project, having indexed over 325,000 records, and arbitrated another 57,000. So go ahead, pat yourself on the back…you earned it!
This project will certainly help people find their family, or even themselves, in the 1940 census. Were you able to finally find someone using the index? Tell us about it in the comments!
P.S. If you got the indexing bug from helping to index the 1940 census, why not continue contributing to FamilySearch indexing projects. There are plenty to choose from, including a new community project for US Immigration and Naturalization Records. Want to stick with Illinois records, help index the Chicago Catholic Church Records, 1833-1910 collection.

text: Some of the install instructions are kind of ambiguous. When a library name ends in .a or .dll, it's obvious what it is, but 'library' is sometimes used generically without indicating whether you're talking about static or dynamic, e.g. how does numpy/scipy link to MKL? Is it statically or dynamically linked? It's not clear where things should go or how things are found. After downloading numpy and putting numpy-1.2.1 into a directory named numpy-1.2.1 in python2.5/Lib/site-packages/ and running python setup.py install from the numpy-1.2.1 directory, you get a numpy directory in site-packages. Later, the install instructions refer to the numpy directory generically. Which numpy directory are you talking about? Should the numpy-1.2.1 directory not be in site-packages in the first place? Ditto for scipy. E.g. are you referring to the site.cfg in the distribution directory (numpy-1.2.1) or the installed directory (numpy without version notation). Maybe you should give names to these directories (e.g. distribution and install) and always refer to them with leading adjectives. It should be possible to create a script that keeps track of all of these extra lib configuration steps, so installs won't be so involved and error prone. I built ATLAS (they need better documentation of processor types and how to use what CPU-Z tells you) and I have MKL installed. A quarter of my MKL evaluation days have already ticked away, and I've come to the disappointing realization that 30 days is probably not going to be enough to get the scipy/MKL install right. What's compatible with what? There is mention of MKL, ATLAS, LAPACK and CLAPACK (I also downloaded CLAPACK 184.108.40.206). It seems like CLAPACK would be naturally compatible because python uses C-style matrix addressing, but does Python (or numpy) flip indexes around if you have LAPACK instead of CLAPACK, so it works anyway, if slower? There is mention of ".numpy-site.cfg" in the user's home directory (which I created), but it didn't seem to have any effect on installing. I created the following site.cfg in the numpy (install) directory: [mkl] include_dirs = D:\Programs\Intel\MKL\10.1.0.018\include library_dirs = D:\Programs\Intel\MKL\10.1.0.018\ia32\lib mkl_libs = mkl_ia32, mkl_c_dll, libguide40 lapack_libs = mkl_lapack Do numpy AND scipy each need a site.cfg in their respective install directories? If so, does one take precedence over the other? When I run 'python setup.py install' from the numpy install directory, I get: Warning: No configuration returned, assuming unavailable. blas_opt_info: blas_mkl_info: libraries mkl, vml, guide not found in d:\Programs\Python25\lib libraries mkl, vml, guide not found in C:\ libraries mkl, vml, guide not found in d:\Programs\Python25\libs NOT AVAILABLE atlas_blas_threads_info: Setting PTATLAS=ATLAS libraries mkl, vml, guide not found in d:\Programs\Python25\lib libraries mkl, vml, guide not found in C:\ libraries mkl, vml, guide not found in d:\Programs\Python25\libs NOT AVAILABLE atlas_blas_info: libraries mkl, vml, guide not found in d:\Programs\Python25\lib libraries mkl, vml, guide not found in C:\ libraries mkl, vml, guide not found in d:\Programs\Python25\libs NOT AVAILABLE D:\Programs\Python25\lib\site-packages\numpy\disutils\system_info.py:1340: UserWarning: Atlas (http://math-atlas.sourceforgr.net/) libraries not found Directories to search for the libraries can be specified in the numpy/disutils/site.cfg file (section [atlas]) or by setting the ATLAS environment variable. warnings.warn(AtlasNotFoundError.__doc__) blas_info: libraries blas not found in d:\Programs\Python25\lib ----------------------------------------------------------------- Where is it looking for blas_opt_info, blas_mkl_info, atlas_blas_threads_info, and atlas_blas_info?

There are no spaces on this line. Could cygwin make be complaining about something inside the cblas.lst file, or is complaining about the line not being terminated the way it expects it to be (I see carriage return, line feed pairs in the file). HELP!!!!

So, I Was Right
The Daily Telegraph
November 6, 2010
By Clive Aslet
Lunch was at The William Bray in Shere, a pub now owned by Julian Bailey, a former racing driver. Local lamb - although not local duck - was eaten beneath photographs of Jackie Stewart and James Hunt.
Bray had been a contemporary of Cobbett, a prosperous solicitor and antiquarian who kept a diary. One observation, blazoned over the bar, caused me particular pleasure.
A while ago I met the British historian Simon Schama, in full flow about his enthusiasm for baseball (he spends much of his time in New York); the sport, I suggested, was one of the few not invented or codified by the British. I would characterise the reply that I got as sniffy. Yet here is Bray on Easter Monday, 1755: ''After Dinner Went to Miss Jeale's to play at Base Ball with her, the 3 Miss Whiteheads, Miss Billinghurst, Miss Molly Flutter, Mr Chandler, Mr Ford & HParsons & Jelly.'' I stand corrected.
All too sadly, lunch hasn't been something much done since the credit crunch. It seems, though, that word has yet to reach Lincolnshire.
An organisation called Select Lincolnshire invited me to a feast - lunch is too modest a word - at Borough Market in London, a meal for which the only adjective that I can find to do justice is lucullan.
There were seven courses of Lincolnshire produce, with a roast pig's head on the side. Such is my sheltered life that this was the first roast pig's head that I'd tackled.
I wouldn't recommend cooking one for a dinner party: it consists principally of crackling, which is tricky to get right. But no part of an animal killed for our benefit should be neglected and such meat as could be extracted from the cheeks was meltingly sweet.
A land of low horizons and the black Fenland earth, Lincolnshire produces or processes 20 per cent of our food. But it is not one of those farmed landscapes that people generally go to for holidays. This is a place where people will sit on the sea bank to watch the Chinooks shoot up targets on the bombing range at Sutton Bridge, and Alfred Lord Tennyson's father took to drink. A plaque on a wall at Horncastle marks the site of a cobbler's shop owned by William Marwood; Marwood, when not mending shoes, was a hangman who ''studied the Long Drop''.
But if Lincolnshire has resisted some modern influences, that's been to the good of Louth, which remains one of the most perfect Georgian towns. One innovation, though, is that Lincolnshire, long famous for potatoes, salad crops and wheat, now also makes cheese. I recommend Cote Hill Blue.
Now that Julian Fellowes' drama Downton Abbey has millions of viewers slavering at the prospect of owning a stately pile, it is timely to consider the responsibilities that come with any grand dwelling - not least the care of the villages and villagers that can be attached to them.
Like most ducal dwellings, Albury in Surrey has ''never condescended so far as to be popular, smart, or even fashionable.'' So wrote Thomas Hay Sweet Escott, a gossipy Edwardian, in Society in the Country House - a book that Fellowes should have had at his elbow. Indeed, the village bears out a truth I discovered when roaming the countryside: most of our prettiest villages are owned by estates. Sometimes that estate is the National Trust, which has a duty to freeze its holdings as though in preparation for the filming of a Jane Austen serial. Other estates are of the traditional landed variety, run by people who value beauty, balancing it against the competing needs of community and economics.
Unlike most businesses, they can afford to take a long view, in the expectation that the family will still be going in 50 or 100 years. One might have thought that such a treasure as Albury (I close my eyes to the landfill site that is a source of local controversy) would have been developed with commuter homes to take advantage of its position just south of Guildford. Instead it is an unblemished essay in Tudor chimneys and tile hanging. Praise, then, the Dukes of Northumberland - one of them inherited the estate from his wife in 1890 - for their enlightened patronage.
My end destination was the next door village of Shere, magically preserved thanks to the ownership of another estate, that of the Bray family, and composed in much-photographed harmony around the Tillingbourne, complete with ducks.
In other times the Tillingbourne, gathering strength as it made its journey towards the River Wey, powered watermills; they inspired one of William Cobbett's finest rants when he looked down on a valley apparently created by ''a bountiful providence, as one of the choicest retreats of man'', which had been perverted to serve ''two of the most damnable inventions that ever sprang from the minds of men under the influence of the devil!''
He meant the making of gunpowder (understandably) and, more surprisingly, the printing of bank notes. Whatever would he have made of quantitative easing?
I would recommend it for a dinner party: it consists principally of crackling
How are you celebrating 2012? I'm not thinking of a certain sporting shindig, but the other event that year, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
The Woodland Trust has an idea: it is encouraging landowners who have 60 acres to spare to plant woods. There will be 60 of these Diamond Woods, with, I suspect, hot competition to get into the club.
Don't despair, though, if you can't grow on that scale; the trust is also assembling packs of 60 trees - free to community groups - with which they hope a myriad of smaller Jubilee Woods will be created (call 08452 935689). I wonder how this legacy will compare to that of the London Olympics?

A local expert provides five recommendations on a topic useful to small business owners. This week, business owner and physician Dr. Michael Schwartz talked to staff writer Hanah Cho about the ways to increase customer satisfaction.
Encourage feedback
Offer a way for your customers to comment on their experience. This can be done verbally, through a comment card or through a mobile or online survey. It is important to be where your customers are, so if your customers are heavy mobile users, it would make sense to offer a mobile or online survey.
Manage expectations
The practice of under-promising and over-delivering can help leave customers happy. It it's their first visit, leave a good impression. If you tell your customers that your product or service will be available on Tuesday, make it a goal to have it available on Monday.
Deliver a warm welcome
First impression is key. The first person who greets your customer sets the tone for the entire visit. It is important to acknowledge your customers and make them feel welcome. With a positive first interaction and visit, customers will be more inclined to return and to refer friends.
Provide a consistent experience
Delivering a consistent experience is important for consumer loyalty and your brand equity. For companies like OrthoTexas that have multiple locations, this is especially crucial as customers expect to have the same brand experience from one location to the next.
Stay in touch
Make sure you follow up with your customers. We make personal calls, send emails and even text messages to check in on our patients and provide them with an opening for questions or concerns.
