The precursor to the latest LGA1155 P67 series of motherboards, the LGA1156 P55, was probably dominated by MSI. Many manufacturers released very good motherboards, but for consistency and the absolute best then we'd probably just edge our choice to MSI.
You can understand our excitement when we received the MSI P67A-GD65 for review then. The mid-range of the MSI P67 series it comes with all the features we could hope for including the excellent MSI OC Genie button which is a previous winner of our innovation award for the ease in which anyone can overclock their system simply, and effectively.
So does MSIs reputation continue into the latest Intel socket? Only one way to find out.
Technical Specifications

About the only surprise is the inclusion of two legacy PCI sockets. There can't be anyone left with a single PCI card, much less two?
Let's take a look at it shall we.
Up Close
The box is standard MSI fare with their quality components "Military Class II" classification dominating the box.
Once open the accessories bundle has all the bits you'd expect. SATA leads, IO shield, manuals for both the motherboard and the included utility disc. The utilities are comprehensive containing monitoring, overclocking, updating, and a wealth of other features in an easily installed, small footprint package.
The board itself follows the modern MSI colour scheme of black and dark blue plastics with gun-metal hardware. It looks very classy although it's visually strange to not have the standard chipset cooler below the CPU socket.
PCI arrangement is fine with plenty of space between the two main PCIe slots. It's, as I said on the previous page, odd to see three PCIe x1 sockets and 2 legacy PCI ones on such a modern board. Sure the GD65 isn't the top-end model, but if MSI are going for the masses then why hasn't it got an IDE socket?
The bottom right hand corner has the on-board buttons for overclocking out of the case, and of course the magical OC Genie button itself. Just above the OC Genie is the JFP1 which is actually the front panel connectors. We laud Gigabyte regularly for their use of a colour-coded one, but to see one without even a plastic surround is perhaps a step too far in the other direction for our tastes.
Around the DIMM sockets we have the ATX24 pin as we'd expect and also a place for your probes if you're a high-end overclocker wanting more accurate monitoring of your motherboard. It's nice to see a couple of fan headers out here too which makes cable routing for your intake fans much simpler.
The CPU socket has plenty of room around it for even the largest cooler, although if you've got tall RAM and a big cooler the DIMM sockets are too close to be able to use both. Thankfully modern RAM doesn't really need the oversized heat-sinks any more. The down-slope of the MSI power circuitry heat-sinks are incredibly polished.
MSI have provided plenty of SATA headers for your storage needs and thankfully we haven't got any of those silly vertical ones.
Around the back is all you'd expect these days, including USB 3.0, e-SATA and a combined PS2 port. It's nice to see the CMOS clear switch located somewhere easy to get hold of too, for reasons we'll get to on the next page.
Test Setup
Intel Core i5-2500K
4GB Kingston Hyper-X
Cougar CM1000 Modular PSU
Windows 7 x64
Noctua NH-D14
Overclocking inc OC Genie II
Knowing that this CPU happily will do 4.6GHz but has a bit of a struggle going much past it without silly voltages we were hopeful than the excellent OC Genie would at least get us to the 4.6GHz mark.
Sadly it has many issues, not least of which we'll show below, but for now the best it manages is 4.19 GHz which is a good overclock and plenty fast enough for most people, but considering the Gigabyte UD7 and ASUS Maximus IV both have in-BIOS 4.6 GHz options it's quite disappointing to see something so conservative.
It might however be to do with the mid-range nature of the board itself as despite some hefty voltage and plenty of tweaking we couldn't get it stable at all past 4.7 GHz. It was pretty "all or nothing". Whereas with the LGA1366 and P55s you had a gradual slope of stability from fully stable down to a suicide shot, this either worked or it didn't.
This screenshot was taken prior to tuning the voltage for stability and in the end we ran at 1.45v to keep our 4.69 GHz overclock.
The BIOS still feels fairly rough around the edges. Despite using the very latest one from MSI there were still some issues to overcome.
One of the more "fun" ones was when first using the OC Genie it kept giving the "overclock failed" beeps. Much faffing about later we discovered that if you manually set your RAM speed prior to using the OC Genie button it gets... well let's be kind and say it becomes rather hopeful about the potential speed your processor will achieve.
If you leave everything on auto this goes away, but nonetheless it's quite fun to see it attempt a 25 GHz overclock. If only the damn thing had booted to CPUz I think we'd have had the world record well into the next decade.
Memory Benchmarks
At stock the GD65 makes use of the performance of the Kingston very well. Although the write speed is a little low generally everything is good and much higher than the reference Intel board.
Overclocked is a different matter though as the memory, even at 2133MHz and with our 4.7 GHz CPU doesn't seem to benefit much from the overclock. Certainly nowhere near as well as the reference Intel or the Gigabyte UD7.
CPU Benchmarks
We find similar things with the CPU benchmarking suite of AIDA64. The GD65 performs very well at stock but the overclocked result doesn't really thrill us quite as we'd hoped. Although the zLib result is far and away the best we've seen rocking 267MB/s.
SiSoft Sandra
Strange things are happening at the Circle K. Sandra, which tests the processor as a separate entity from the rest of the system should, theoretically at least, give a nearly identical result at stock to the Intel reference board and only differ once the overclock is in place.
However on the GD65 at stock it's clearly slower than the reference board. With the overclock though things settle down much closer to how we'd expect. It falls behind the UD7 but that's largely due to the GD65s inability to achieve the same overclock as we obtained on the Gigabyte.
wPrime seems to back up the Sandra results in that something is definitely hindering the performance of the otherwise outstanding i5-2500K. 356 seconds for the 1 billion place test is frankly ridiculous on a 3.2GHz quad-core.
Does this synthetic-test disappointment follow through into the real-world?
PC Mark Vantage
The short answer seems to be yes. It's so frustrating that even though the GD65 doesn't overclock as well, it's not even very good at stock. Although the overclock helps it only just about reaches the levels of the i5-2500K at stock on the Intel reference board.
CineBench R11.5
It's not very surprising to see that CineBench suffers equally with the sluggish performance of the MSI GD65. Rendering is so dependant upon every ounce of processing power that even the slightest lapse has heavy consequences and so it proves.
3D Mark Vantage
Away from the processor dependant testing and into the gaming world the MSI performs just as well as all the rest. Surprisingly when overclocked we see the highest P-Score we've achieved amongst our LGA1155 tests. The power of the GTX570 is undiminished.
3D Mark 11
Our Vantage results are echoed in the much more strenuous 3D Mark 11 with the overclocked GD65 managing to forge ahead of all the others, even the heavily overclocked i7-2600K.
At least if you're only gaming it seems ok so far, so let's try a couple of games out.
Crysis Warhead
Well it's still perfectly playable. Although the MSI doesn't reach the heights of the rest of our benchmarks it still keeps Crysis ticking away about 60 FPS. It's a bit of a double-edged sword as it remains playable, but is still 6 or 7 frames behind what we'd expect. That could just be Crysis Warhead being its usual strange self though.
Alien vs Predator
Thankfully we can end on a positive note as the heavily GPU dependant Alien vs Predator benchmark gives us very level results throughout all our tests. Even if the GD65 at stock trails, it's only a tenth of a frame, so nothing that isn't within error tolerance.
Reviewing the MSI P67A-GD65 have left us distinctly ambivalent.
On the one hand it's extraordinarily simple to setup. The board itself is a pleasure to use with everything being laid out very well and plenty of room to work. The only slight issue with the design is how close the RAM slots are to the CPU and so our Hyper-X T1 wouldn't fit under the Noctua NH-D14 so we had to revert to the plain Hyper-X. Otherwise it's very well designed with no nasty surprises or awkward fiddly bits.
The included utility package is very good with all of the applications only having a tiny footprint and none of them running automatically. They all do exactly what you want with the minimum of fuss. The drivers themselves install easily and it's one of the few times you can safely click the "install everything" button without ending up with a plethora of things you really could do without.
Unfortunately this is where the good news tails off a little.
While the GD65 is a joy to setup and use at stock, the results really are disappointing. The only time it keeps up with either the reference Intel design or the Gigabyte UD7 we've previously tested is when the processor performance is far less important than GPU performance. Even the most hardcore gamer will do a little net surfing or utility work and once you're into Windows applications the GD65 just doesn't perform that well.
So perhaps the truly brilliant OC Genie will be the solution to the poor stock performance? It's a one-button overclock that guarantees good results. Or at least did. There appears to be some bugs in the calculation side of things as it either ran at a disappointing 4.2 GHz or tried to boot at a laughable 28 GHz. Talk about sublime to the ridiculous.
Manual overclocking involves, as always, entering the BIOS. Whilst the MSI comes equipped with the EFI BIOS which is all mouse controlled and very user-friendly. It doesn't take two seconds to get used to with everything laid out where you'd expect and the ability to use your mouse just makes it a pleasant experience. It's not without bugs though. We used the very latest BIOS from MSI but there were still issues with it being unresponsive, or registering a single-click as a double. It makes voltage adjustments quite a hairy proposition.
Once you have got it overclocked we didn't quite reach the heights of the UD7, but at over a hundred pounds cheaper we wouldn't expect it to be. What is disappointing though is how the MSI responds to the overclock. We'd expect a 4.7 GHz CPU to at least give good results but it often struggled to keep up with the Intel reference board at stock.
Hopefully a more mature BIOS will iron out the issues with the BIOS and the OC Genie overclocking, but for now it's very difficult to recommend the MSI P67A-GD65.
If we accept that we might have an average CPU and so we wont get some of the more high-speed overclocks around, it still cannot be denied that the benchmarks both at stock and overclocked don't do the board any justice. If it's possible that Toms, erm, strenuous efforts to overclock it previously have damaged it in some way, we'll gladly come back to this when we get a new chip in hand. For now though we can only go with what we've got on the bench, rather than theoretical improvements.
Even at only £142.99 (Aria) we still feel that there just isn't enough performance to make it a worthy purchase. It's a shame that a board we had high hopes for after the brilliance of the P55 range from MSI entirely fails to deliver.
Thanks to MSI for providing the GD65 for review. Discuss in our forums.


text: Musicians gather together to honor Jim Groscup By Bill Lynch January 23, 2013 Story Share Chip Ellis Dozens of local musicians will perform Saturday in a benefit for the family of Jim Groscup. Groscup, who died in July, was a fixture on the local music scene for several decades. WANT TO GO?Bad to the Bone All-Star Jam and Big Band BlowoutA benefit for Jim GroscupWHERE: Atlantis Nightclub, 3024 Chesterfield Ave.WHEN: 5:30 p.m. SaturdayTICKETS: $35INFO: 304-345-8060 www.jimmygroscup.comCHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Jeff Flanagan gets a little choked up when he talks about his friend, trombonist Jim Groscup."We were friends for 30 years," Flanagan said. "I'll never have another friend like him -- not in my lifetime."On Saturday night, Flanagan and some of the area's best-known musicians will come together for a benefit for Groscup's family. The show features the Voodoo Katz, Chaz Humley and the Effects, The Carpenter Ants, The Bob Thompson Unit and more. Groscup player died in July due to complications from Pulomary veno-occlusive disease, a rare condition that involves the narrowing or blockages of veins in the lungs. The 54-year-old trombone player was a fixture of the Charleston music scene, a member of several local bands for the last 30 years including Big Planet Soul, the Lincoln Brass Quintet and more recently, as part of the Sweet Lips Big Band, which accompanies Landau Eugene Murphy Jr."He'd have toured with us," said Flanagan, who also performs with the band. "He was just too sick to travel."Flanagan said he and Groscup had known each other for a few years but became friends after Groscup asked him to help with a rehearsal for the University of Charleston Brass Quintet. Groscup was teaching brass methods.After the rehearsal was over, Groscup approached the horn player.Flanagan said, "He told me I played pretty well and asked me if I was interested in playing in a group on a regular basis." That led to Flanagan joining the Lincoln Brass Quintet and eventually a series of musical collaborations with Groscup that lasted three decades. "He was in every band I had," Flanagan said. "And we played with all kinds of people. We played with The Temptations, The Spinners, The Four Tops, Kenny Rogers, Ray Charles. And we did I don't know how many touring Broadway shows, shows at The Greenbrier."They were friends the entire time."We used to call each other every day," Flanagan said. "For about 26 years, we spoke every day about something."They had a lot of laughs, which Flanagan acknowledged often gravitated toward the juvenile or sophomoric.Years ago, the two of them were playing in the orchestra for a production of "Annie" in Huntington. Before a show, Flanagan said they stopped off to get a bite to eat at Kenny Gs (the restaurant, not the musician's home). Groscup looked at the menu, then said, "Hey, let's see if we can eat a hundred wings."The two of them ended up ordering 100 chicken wings, four baskets of fries and two pitchers of beer.After their meal, they took the bones to the show."But we got there two hours early and wiped the bones on the edge of the stage."During the musical, when Little Orphan Annie is trying to save the stray mutt that will become Sandy, the young actress had to call the dog to her -- something that had been rehearsed dozens of times."And the dog was trained," Flanagan added.Only this time, the dog couldn't resist the smell of chicken grease. Instead of coming as called, it bolted for the front of the stage and began licking the floor."The whole place just died laughing," he said.The show Saturday is to benefit Groscup's wife and two stepdaughters. Flanagan said the response from the local music community has been very gratifying. Most of the musicians performing at the show played with Groscup at one time or another. He was well remembered by many of them."Jimmy was just a gentle giant, a really great guy and a fine trombone player," Flanagan said. "He was my friend."Reach Bill Lynch at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5195.

KENT, Ohio, April 4, 2001- The Penn State softball team was swept in a doubleheader at Kent State, 9-1 and 5-2. Game one was called after five innings because of the eight-run mercy rule. The Nittany Lions are now 19-15 overall.
Freshman Marisa Hanson (Victoria, Texas), who pitched an outstanding game against No. 12 Iowa on Saturday, went five innings and gave up 11 hits in the first game. Penn State could put together just two hits in the fifth inning to tally its only run. Freshman Barbie Pierce (Citrus Heights, Calif.) drove in the Lions' only run of the game, while sophomore Megan Humphrey (San Diego, Calif.) knocked out the only other PSU hit.
Penn State committed four errors in just five innings in the loss, as the Golden Flashes went on to win easily.
The Lions were limited to just two hits in game two, as well, but fared better keeping Kent State within reach, 5-2.
Penn State score two runs in the top of the third inning to take a 2-1 lead, but KSU responded by scoring four runs in the bottom of the inning to jump out ahead, 5-2. An error by the Kent State defense and a hit bu senior Karen Gulini (Easton, Pa.) led to two-Penn State runs in the inning. But the Golden Flashes capitalized on a Penn State error and went on to score four runs in the bottom of the inning to regain the lead.
The Lions were outhit again, 10-2, with sophomore Erin Norton (Orange, Calif.) each tallying the team's only other hit.
The Lions are back home this weekend to take on conference opponent Illinois. Penn State will play a single game on Saturday, April 7 at 6 p.m. and a game on Sunday, April 8 at 12 p.m.

amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research
January 14, 2010—Among the thousands in Haiti who lost their lives in the earthquake on January 12 were 14 members attending a support group meeting at the offices of SEROvie, an amfAR-supported community organization that provides outreach and HIV/AIDS-related services to men who have sex with men (MSM). One staff member also remains missing.
SEROvie, which received community awards from amfAR's MSM Initiative in 2008 and 2009, has been working with MSM—a group that is particularly vulnerable to HIV in Haiti due to stigma and discrimination—to provide medical and psychosocial support, and has been building a network of providers who offer HIV services targeted at MSM. Tuesday's devastation compounds the difficulties of working within what was already a fragile infrastructure, and represents an enormous loss to the HIV/AIDS community in Haiti.
The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) has set up a specific fund for SEROvie. To support them directly, visit http://www.iglhrc.org/cgi-bin/iowa/article/takeaction/globalactionalerts/1074.html.

The economic turmoil has left retailers skittish and manufacturers cautious, but it also has opened the door for manufacturers to appeal to cash-strapped consumers by offering more affordable toothbrushes and convenient solutions. Such offerings will continue to appeal to consumers as the economic recovery continues and consumers remain watchful of their dollars.
According to data provided by Information Resources Inc., sales of mouthwash slipped 2.9% to $169.9 million for the 13 weeks ended Dec. 27 at food, drug and mass (excluding Walmart), while sales of manual toothbrushes rose 6.7% to $118.9 million, sales of power toothbrushes declined 6.1% to $67.3 million and sales of toothpaste dropped 1.3% to $313.5 million.
While total sales of the power toothbrushes category slipped, according to IRI, Church & Dwight had "a huge success" in 2009 with its Sonic battery-powered Spinbrush.
"Highly successful, the fastest-growing brush in the category," Church & Dwight chairman and CEO James Craigie told analysts about the Spinbrush during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call on Feb. 9.
"Great technology at a low cost had a great success in driving our Spinbrush business again. We were one of the only guys in the whole toothbrush category who were up last year in a down overall category," Craigie added.
During the fourth quarter, Colgate saw its share of the manual toothbrush market reach a record 32.2% year to date, the company announced in late January. That's up 5.2 share points versus a year ago, including the new Colgate Wisp mini-brush, whose market share reached 5% year to date and 6.3% for the fourth quarter. Its Colgate 360, ActiFlex, Colgate Max Fresh and Colgate Max White manual toothbrushes also contributed to the share gains.
For early 2010, Colgate developed the new Wisp Plus Whitening mini-brush.
Meanwhile, Procter & Gamble is launching in March its new Crest and Oral-B 3D White collection. In addition to whitestrips, toothpastes and rinse, the collection includes the new Pulsar Advanced Vivid Toothbrush with MicroPulse bristles that pivot and pulse, and the manual Advantage Vivid Toothbrush.

10,000 cyclists celebrate beating the bay
Page Tools
TEN thousand cyclists made the most of Melbourne's glorious sunshine yesterday to take part in the now-classic Around the Bay in a Day.
Organiser Bicycle Victoria was delighted with the turnout for the 13th annual ride, a 210-kilometre lap around Port Phillip Bay that included a ferry trip between Queenscliff and Sorrento.
The aim of the recreational event was to raise $300,000 for the Smith Family charity.
"It's been a fantastic day and the weather's been great for us," said Sarah Greenwood-Smith, of Bicycle Victoria.
Among the 350 teams in the ride were 20 members of the Fat Boys Cycling Club of Adelaide, who were competing in the event for the fifth time.
The club was formed 10 years ago by an unfashionable group of middle-aged men who began riding once a week as an enjoyable pastime.
"When we started, we were just riding in footy shorts and T-shirts. It was an excuse to get together and have a coffee. We were very daggy," said member Nick Cuthbertson.
"The guys we'd see in the lycra and bicycle shorts we called the fast boys, and we became the fat boys.
"It was a hard ride today, but probably the best in years because of the conditions, the beautiful sunshine."
The fastest of the Fat Boys finished the ride in six hours, 15 minutes.
The ride began just before 5am at Docklands and finished at the same venue, with the first weary cyclists returning just after noon. Most of the riders attempted the full course, but many others rode along shorter courses of 100 kilometres from Sorrento to Melbourne and 50 kilometres, through the western suburbs and across the West Gate Bridge twice.
Cyclists covering the full course started at Docklands and headed to Queenscliff or Sorrento, crossed the bay on the ferry then rode back to Melbourne.
One of the notable entrants in this year's event was champion Australian paralympian Michael Milton.
Milton, riding in the event on one leg, won four skiing gold medals at the 2002 Winter Paralympics Games in Salt Lake City.
Another stand-out was Ken Lynch, 80, the oldest rider, who has completed a number of arduous overseas rides since retiring 20 years ago. Mr Lynch was taking part in Around the Bay in a Day for the third time, despite having an operation on his hand three weeks ago, which limited his ability to train for the event.

Ha ha, you'd think I'd know my OWN GUN well enough to know that a 3rd Gen has that also.
True story--I own only one 3rd Gen. (always have wanted more...will work on that, always have planned to do
Mine is a 1006. Back in '92 I had a buddy who wanted his first handgun, wanted my opinion. "Get a .357 Mag revolver, for sure" I said.
"I want something
" he said.
".357!" I said.
"yeahbut, I want a pistol, not a old style revolver..."
"get a .45!" I said.
"I want something really powerful!"
"Get a TEN MILLIMETER!"
Made sense to me... my dream gun, I couldn't possibly afford to buy or feed one. Why not steer HIM toward one?!
It worked. He bought a brand new 1006. Got married shortly thereafter. Didn't take long after the baby before his wife "didn't feel comfortable with THAT in the house" and he offered it to me for a cool four hundred. That was in like '95, IIRC, still big bucks for me at the time, but a no-brainer. Of course I bought it.
Here's the
part. It wears the big rubber Hogue grip, and he bought the grip in the first week he had it and I was the one who installed that grip.
I was also the guy that cleaned that gun and made the ammo for it, too, since the day he bought it. So I had seen under that big rubber Hogue grip only in that week before I put it on and it's never been off the pistol since that day, like 22 years ago.
So yeah, I know my gun pretty well, but haven't seen under the grip since I was a kid.
Attention Brass rats and other reloaders:
I really need

Kickstarter is taking the film industry to a new level by offering filmmakers the opportunity to fund their movies with the aid of their audience. Lately we have shown an interest in these budding filmmakers who are using Kickstarter to fund their feature films, but well-known actress and humanitarian, Whoopi Goldberg, recently launched her Kickstarter campaign for her documentary, "I Got Somethin' To Tell You". Despite her busy schedule, Whoopi took some time to answer a few questions for us regarding the film and its influences.
Q: Where did the idea for this film come from?
Whoopi Goldberg: It's a documentary about the impact of Moms Mabley on comedy. I knew if I was going to bring Moms to life on the stage (which is my plan), I would have to find a way to reintroduce her to folks and I thought a documentary was a good way to go.
Q: Who do you expect your audience will be? Who are you trying to reach out to?
Whoopi Goldberg: I'm trying to reach anyone interested in comedy and its history, women who are interested in pioneers because Moms was a true pioneer. See there were, at the beginning of her stand-up career, no other women out there doing it and it would take about 30 years before any other woman did true stand up and oh! By the way, she was black.
Q: What is the draw for your audience? What issues does your storyline deal with? What makes your film unique?
Whoopi Goldberg: The documentary is about how a small black woman, born at the turn of the last century and in the deep south, used her comedy to, against all odds, become the first black female comic to play the T.O.B.A. circuit (the only places black performers could play for years) and then parlay that into becoming one of the highest paid performers in the country. What makes this a unique story is the fact that to this day there has not been anything in the mainstream media about it. Unless I tell this story, it will disappear into the ether like so many other stories of black entertainers such as Butterbeans and Susie, Mantan Moreland, and Bill Robinson.
Q: Did you draw influences for this film from other films? Are there any directors you draw inspiration from?
Whoopi Goldberg: Yes, all the documentary filmmakers whose work I have seen.
Q: Are there any specific locations you want to film at or have filmed at? What makes these locations important to you and the film?
Whoopi Goldberg: Yes, the Apollo because it was the mecca for most black performers. If you could make it at the Apollo, you could make it anywhere. Moms became the first female comic to play the Apollo and was also their highest paid comic. They kept her close, but never down.

First, there was the sniff test, in which "experts trained in a rigorous sensory analysis process have been testing Gulf seafood for the presence of contaminants," according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For many who suspected state and federal agencies were in cahoots with commercial interests to get the seafood business moving again after the Gulf oil disaster, the sniff test didn't pass the smell test.
Then came the DOSS test, in which NOAA and the FDA decided to test for dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, known as DOSS, a major component of the dispersants used in the Gulf.
Then came the DOSS test, in which NOAA and the FDA decided to test for dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, known as DOSS, a major component of the dispersants used in the Gulf.
Results were negative, the shrimp harvest proclaimed safe.
A lot of testing has been done, and there's more to come. But questions remain about BP's 206 million gallons of oil and nearly two million gallons of chemical dispersant contaminating some of the world's most productive fisheries.
A study of the Gulf food web led by principal investigators (PI) Dr. Jeffrey Chanton, the John Widmer Winchester Professor of Oceanography at Florida State University, and Dr. Jennifer Cherrier, associate professor of Environmental Sciences at Florida A&M University, may provide some answers. Chanton and Cherrier together with their Co-PIs Drs. Lia Chasar (USGS) and Kevin Craig (FSU) will use radiocarbon and stable isotopes to trace the invasion of the Gulf oil disaster into Gulf food webs.
An isotope is a form of a chemical element, like carbon or nitrogen. Stable isotopes don't noticeably decay over time, radioactive isotopes do. Organisms have distinct isotopic signatures — that is, the plant or animal has an identifiable chemical makeup.
To continue this gross oversimplification, an animal is what it eats (or respires). If you know the isotopic signature of a food source and you know the isotopic signature of an organism that ate it, you can trace the source through the food chain.
Crude oil, and especially chemically-dispersed crude oil, is a food source in the sense that it is ingested, sometimes by choice (e.g., by microbes that feed on oil) and sometimes by accident (in the case of animals and planktons that came into contact with BP's oil).
By performing isotopic analyses oil can be detected in the food chain.
Chanton's and Cherrier's objective is to determine and trace the isotopic signatures of carbon, nitrogen and sulpher, which may have come from the oil spill, through the food web — from microbes (e.g., bacteria) to plankton to commercial fishery species like oysters, shrimp and finfish. They'll also look to trace these signatures in crabs, corals, snails, sediments and peats from near shore and estuary environments.
Deepwater red crabs and coral collected by colleagues during recent expeditions on the deep sea submersible, ALVIN, round out the study.
"This event's pretty massive," said Chanton. "We've gone all the way to Barataria and Terrebonne Bays in Louisiana and to the Texas-Louisiana border to collect samples. We have some from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Orange Beach, Pensacola and Apalachicola," he added.
"The pre-impact [already known] values will then be compared to post-impact values," said Chanton. "So we'll try to determine the route and magnitude of oil effects on coastal food webs and fisheries," he said.
"The beauty of the biogeochemistry, the work that we do, is that we can tell what's going on in the environment before it gets to the higher trophic levels, before it becomes a huge problem," said Cherrier.
Cherrier, who is also deputy director of the NOAA/FAMU Environmental Cooperative Science Center (ECSC) noted, "The quickest part of the ecosystem to see the negative impacts is in the biogeochemical level — the bacteria, the phytoplankton, everything that's really small. And the most rapid way to see recovery is in the biogeochemical data. They're doing it the quickest," she said.
"For instance, in Prince Edward Sound, you can't see any oil there anymore, but the fisheries are still collapsed," explained Cherrier. "You don't necessarily have to see something in the system that contaminated it. It's all dissolved, you can't see it, but there's still some nasty stuff there that's prohibiting the fisheries from coming back," she said.
The trick, of course, will be to connect unusual isotopic signatures found throughout the food chain to BP's oil.
"If we do get a signal in some of these critters we would want to do some more control work, like testing older samples and checking out the water to make sure there wasn't old carbon in the water from runoff or chronic oil contamination in the oysters [from runoff or natural seepage]," said Chanton. "We'd have to do more investigative work just to make sure of that," he said.

RECIPES: Recipe Details
"Jazzed Up" County Fair Burgers
"Hamburgers, hamburgers, hamburgers hot; onions in the middle, pickle on top. Makes your lips go flippity flop."
According to legend, in 1885, 15 year old Charlie Nagreen invented the hamburger at the Outagamie County Fair in Seymour, Wisconsin. For 65 years, Charlie continued to sell his hamburgers and chant his jingle. Although much controversy surrounds the true birthplace of the hamburger, the Wisconsin legislature, on May 9, 2007, declared Seymour, Wisconsin the Original Home of the Hamburger.
I was lucky enough to have grown up in Seymour. The highlight of every summer was the Outagamie County Fair. To this day, the smell of onions, fried in butter, brings me back. My best friend's dad was the milkman, and my dad owned the bakery, so we would hitch a ride to the fair in the milk truck or in the bakery van whenever they made their deliveries. As you may have guessed, my father supplied the hamburger buns!
This burger was created as homage to Charlie Nagreen and to the Outagamie County Fair. It combines two of Wisconsin's favorite burger ingredients, butter and cheddar, along with some spices and a sauce to "jazz it up"!
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup chili sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1/4 cup butter
2 large, sweet onions, chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
2 pounds ground chuck
2 teaspoons coarse ground pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/3 cup chili sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
6 (1 oz) slices Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese
Vegetable oil for brushing on grill
6 good quality Kaiser rolls, split
3 tablespoons butter, softened
6 crisp iceberg lettuce leaves
6 (1/2") thick slices ripe beefsteak tomatoes
Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
Combine mayonnaise, 1/3 cup chili sauce, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder and pickle relish in small bowl. Cover and chill until needed for burger assembly.
Place large, flameproof pan on grill. Melt 1/4 cup butter in pan, and then add chopped onion. Sprinkle with sugar. Cook onions for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place ground chuck in large bowl. Combine pepper, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, dry mustard, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Add to ground chuck, mixing lightly by hand, making sure to blend thoroughly. Divide meat into six portions.
Carefully form each portion of meat into a patty. Make an indentation in the middle of each patty. Place heaping tablespoons of caramelized onions in the indentation and then, gently, to avoid compacting, close the meat around the onions, keeping the meat in patty form.
Brush grill grates with oil. Place patties on the grill, cover and grill for 5-7 minutes on each side for medium. Top each patty with a cheese slice, cover grill and allow cheese to melt, about one minute. During the last few minutes of grilling, butter the Kaiser rolls and place them, cut side down, on the outer edges of the grill until toasted.
To assemble hamburgers, spread sauce on both halves of bun. Place one lettuce leaf on the bottom bun. Put the burger on top of the lettuce and top the burger with the tomato slice and the top bun. Serve the burgers with plenty of napkins to catch the butter that is sure to dribble down your chin!
There is a lot of, for lack of a better term, "meat manipulation" in order to blend the ingredients and to enclose the onions in the hamburger patty. It is important to remember to handle the meat as gently as possible to avoid making a tough hamburger.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
12-15-2009 08:22 AM - edited 12-15-2009 08:23 AM
This weekend i was roped by the wife to go "look" at furniture at ashley furniture . She of course found a set she had to have and since they had 36months no interest. We applied got 4k CL and spent 3400.
My question is this is Citifinacial . Is that going to hurt more than just a normal account? I was thinking i read something somewhere that was talking about consumer credit line or something and its frowned upon .
and on a side note . I have to got to get back on the wagon of resisting to apply . in the last few weeks i have been BAD!!
I have apllied for USAA (denied too many inqs),
Nationwide(denied uknown reason still),
UMB guide dog card ( 2k 9.9 rate per the csr but the website says 11 something is the lowest?)
and yesterday i got a preapproval in the mail from Citi for a MC . I resisted last night but caved this morning approved 12.5k
DI wrote:
Citifinancial are loan sharks.
They might have different things that make them seem like that to you . But Ive never seen a loan shark give you their money for nothing . So they are just dandy in my thoughts . 36 months no interest. Sure the default rate is 24.99% but alot of store credit cards are just the same.
I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but you probably could have negotiated a better price had you paid cash or with another card. Citifinancial charges most dealers a hefty "discount rate" as they call it to offer interest free financing. I know they charge us 17.25% to offer this particular deal, but we're in the HVAC business, not sure what they charge a larger company like Ashley.
Just my thoughts.

I would really not worry about any points you may loose due to a Furniture account, I would be surprised if you even noticed. I have a mattress account and it has not cost me points, if anything you may loose some points until it's not looking so maxed out but not for the type
I think the key here is that it sounds as though this is being reported as a consumer finance account, rather than a regular store account. Back in my stupider days, I had personal, unsecured loans from Washington Mutual, which is now CitiFinancial. Whenever I used to pull my reports, one of the negative factors that came up was "Presence of a consumer finance account".... and something to the effect that these are typically personal bailout loans with bad terms, usually for people who were rejected for personal loans from banks due to bad credit or DTI or the like. I am not saying this situation is the same, just a personal experience with the term "consumer finance" and Citifinancial.

If you are like me, getting the best picture on your PC is important, right? Well Tom's Hardware has a great article that shows us how we can achieve a full 30-bit picture output on the PC. Reports do indicate that in order to actually display this 30 bit picture quality, you will need special hardware such as Matrox's Parhelia products.
Software developer Ron Silvas says that a fairly simple technique has allowed him to display every color channel in 10-bit, with 1024 steppings for each channel. This increases the maximum amount of displayable colors in a picture to a staggering 1,073,741,824 (1024 x 1024 x1024). "Experts believe that the human eye can distinguish between 600 and 700 steppings within a color. This explains why steppings can be visible even in high-resolution 24-bit images. 30-bit is beyond that level, steppings are not visible anymore." While 30-bit does not often provide a dramatic increase in picture quality for everyday applications, especially graphic artists can take advantage of this technology to approach a more perfect image with no noise and purer colors.

Jenny Dragon recorded their debut album, A Fair Souvenir, at Hi-Style Recording Studio in Chicago on vintage gear dating from the 1940s-1960s. Plenty of information alone to give it a full spin, in my book. But I'll give you more reasons.
All native Chicagoans, they are not. Just one. And maybe that's why the blues are just a newt's eye in the brew. No, The Dragons come from all over the place–California, Virginia, Kansas City, Iowa. The singing duo of Jodi Jean Amble and Sarah Goldstein started in college, in Wisconsin, back in 1997. They formed a sister-like bond. Now, a remarkable part of Jenny Dragon's story continues down that path–and you can read more about it here. And today, they've settled in our fair city. But let's get back to that brew, yes?
1 part bossa nova.
2 parts gypsy-jazz.
1 part latin, 1 part blues.
2 parts folk
1 part doo-wop.
A pinch of hula (you'll find it)
Shake it up and you get a self-described "heavy whimsy". And unlike most selfies (does that work in this context?), it's pretty accurate. Take, for example, the heavy subject of America's history with nuclear testing (heavy), and write some lyrics then put it to a song that's a little sultry, a little
Jenny Dragon is a new band, but they are not newbies. They are a coming together of veteran musicians. So you get a sophisticated sound that's not real easy to pin down. When we asked guitarist Brian Sharpe about how they arrived in this unique place, he said, "I think our natural individual musical inclinations and aesthetic started leading us in this direction and we didn't fight it." Right. On. Would love to see these guys at the Green Mill on a non-shushing night.
It's that time to turn it over to you. Bend an ear on "Boom Boom", below. It's the whimsical atomic bomb song. And hear more at the Jenny Dragon website.

Also, the design is a bit different because it has a nice golden thick USA letters printed on the bottom. Has anyone seen an SS card with a date on it?

OLDSMAR — Toward the end of Tuesday night's City Council meeting, Janice Miller said she had something she had to get off of her chest.
"I have been wanting to do this for quite some time and I didn't know how it would be perceived," the council member said, "but now I'm going to throw it out there.
"I would like to propose that the city, how should I put this, any contractor that the city does business with should not employ illegal aliens because it just … I don't think it's right."
She commended Arizona for its sweeping new immigration law. She said the measure has galvanized other towns like Fremont, Neb., which last month approved a ban on hiring or renting property to undocumented residents. And then she segued into a story about the contractor who repaired the roof at City Hall a few years back.
"The contractor that we used was a mess," Miller said. "Our people picked up a lot of debris, lunch bags and Coke cans and bottles and things like that."
"You need to tell who threw the lunch bags down there," council member Jerry Beverland told her.
"The workers who are illegal," she said. "You know where I'm going."
Officials at Allied Roofing in Tampa, the firm that performed the repairs, were not available for comment Wednesday. An employee who answered the phone at the company's W Cayuga Street office said Miller's remarks were inaccurate.
Reached Wednesday, Miller said she couldn't "say for sure that they were illegal, but it is obvious to me that they were from Central America."
Asked how she knew that, she said: "What do you mean? I'm 68 years old and I know what different people look like from different countries. I know what Mexicans look like and Italians or Spanish or black or white or Asian. It isn't a big leap."
• • •
Raymond Arsenault, the first vice president of the Pinellas County American Civil Liberties Union, said statements like Miller's are the very reason the Arizona law concerns business, agriculture and civil rights groups.
"This is just the kind of thing that critics of the Arizona law are so concerned about — people jumping to conclusions, making assumptions based on physical appearance without any real, anthropological expertise," he said. "Anybody who knows anything about racial demography knows that you can't typecast people like that.
"People have a certain image in their head, but that doesn't necessarily comport to reality and there's such a chance for guilt by association and misidentification. It seems antithetical to the spirit of a democratic society."
Arsenault, a University of South Florida St. Petersburg professor, said Miller's inflammatory remarks "seem to be a gross miscarriage of her responsibility as a public official to represent all of her constituents in a fair-minded manner. "She's sworn to uphold the law, which involves certain federal guarantees of civil rights and due process. To make such an irresponsible statement is very, very disturbing."
In response to Arsenault, Miller said her comments are no big deal: "We're proving who we are all the time. Everybody proves who they are these days."
• • •
Nearly 20 states have already introduced or begun to craft Arizona-like measures. Florida, which has the third-largest number of undocumented residents in the nation (720,000), is among them. On Tuesday, the national debate made its way to Oldsmar, a town of about 14,000.
"Let's face it," Miller said. "The whole country is up in arms about this and they have been for a while and now it's really coming to the forefront. Everybody's complaining about it."
Mayor Jim Ronecker said he didn't agree with the context of Miller's proposal and didn't know how the city would police businesses that employ undocumented workers. "How do we know they're even in the country illegally or not?" he asked.
John Hubbard, a lawyer with Frazer, Hubbard, Brandt, Trask & Yacavone LLP in Dunedin, told the council that Oldsmar could make contractors sign an affidavit that they do not and will not employ illegal immigrants.
"You don't need to pass an ordinance or law or anything," he said. "You can have provisions in the contract for monetary penalties. And also, the person who signs the affidavit would be subject to the penalties of perjury."
Council members did not raise any objections, but Beverland suggested and his colleagues agreed that the city "wait to see what the state says. Let's get the legalities of this to see where we stand."
• • •
The city is in the midst of building a $20 million reverse osmosis water treatment plant. Miller praised the city for enlisting an Oldsmar company to do some of the raw water line work. Bob Fornwalt, president of Keystone Excavators, said he does not employ undocumented residents and requires that all new hires complete an I-9 employment eligibility form and provide two forms of documentation proving U.S. citizenship. "They're all American," Miller said. "It certainly looks like they are. They are black and white. The point is, I want to see Americans doing these jobs just like it's supposed to be.
"I mean we've got too many people out of work and not enough of them are out of work. Most of them are still working. They're not just picking tomatoes. They're doing drywall, electricity, plumbing, all kinds of stuff that normally was reserved for Americans."

He says I won't tell you but show you. Come. I won't eat you up. Come. They come in the jungle a tree lightens. Ananiya smiles. She says they are so beautiful. He says not more than you. Shakti says sometimes in ordinary talks something special happens. Like you meeting me. Love. Love is when you some gives life for you. If you wanted you could leave me in jungle but you didn't. Maa ordered but I couldn't shoot you. What is that? Love. This is love. She recalls when he picked her up and didn't shoot her. When he said din't come to kill you but to save you. Shakti says what are you thinking? Why is this happening so early? Because I have realized. Even you have changed my mom's heart. That is why she forgave mayank. She says but.. He says sh.. He takes her hand and places it on his heart. The song 'boldo naa' plays in background. He says ask my heart when you are around what happens to it. I never said it to anyone but I am saying it today. He knees down and says complete my love. I love you. She recalls him dragging and insulting Ramakanth.
Ananiya says i respect your love but the distance between us is too long. I can never reduce it. He says don't say that. give me one chance. I will talk to maa and your baba. If you help me I will wither away the shadows of darkness. Ananiya says some darkness can't go away. In real life these all mean nothing. So forget it like a good memory. I wanna go home, its late.

She says I want nothing just keep bhabhi happy. She says he was sounding so happy. Ramaknath says all I want is happiness of you two. Bell rings. Ananiya opens the door, Its Shakti. She is dazed.

Not sure what this has to do with a B6?
Anyway why would anyone pay for this when you can do it for free yourself?
Because its a colour scheme specifically designed to match the Audi instrumentation colours???
If you want to go to the bother of designing a scheme yourself then of course you don't buy it...
What a negative response!
Mmmmmm Curious, I have asked the seller the following....
"Can you post on the add or send a photo of the Tom Tom displaying the audi colour scheme please..... I Have a TT Go 300"
I don't ave time 2 t!t around with the colours - I'm all 4 lettin sum1 else do it...
MINT...... Found this..... This thread on another site apparently has the man who is actually selling them on ebay....... Few discussions then everyone jumped on the bandwagon wanting to "Trial the Audi colours in return for feedback.....
I like this bit..........
"Hi JohnBoy,
I bought your colour schemes on eBay yesterday using PayPal, and I am going away late tonight (Thursday), any chance of sending them to me before tonight?"
"Hi David! Hope you have got them now. I would have done them for free via the forum!"
"I'm surprised to learn that on the forum you offer for free the files that you sell on ebay: how do your ebay customers react when they find out? Would you display an ebay comment on your page telling people to come here and register to get the same product for free? Seems at the very least to discriminate against people based on how thorough their websearching is..."
Not particularly good photos but hope this give you and idea
Ta very much.... and dont I look a tw@ now....... Duuurrrrr - Clever I am (not realising it was your post)......
So £4.99 for 3 unique colour schemes is too much??? Don't buy them then!!! But if you care to read the ebay feedback received you will see that every single one is positive and 3 buyers even say its the best value enhancement they have made for their Go! The TomTom Go users got several for free whilst the product was being developed. No free copies are being distributed now and havent been for the last few weeks. Wish I hadnt bothered now!
So is it you that's selling on ebay then?
Perhaps you really did select the wrong forum. Perhaps the area for sales would have been more appropriate. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/idea.gif
Wrong Forum? Its a scheme for the A4!
Maybe it's me. I thought stuff being sold had to go in "The Trading Post".

A gunman held up a nude entertainment and novelties shop in Rolando early Wednesday, San Diego police said.
An employee at Jolar Cinema on University Avenue, near Rolando Boulevard, called police about 4:30 a.m. to report the holdup. The robber took cash and the clerk's cell phone.
The robber was described as short, wearing a dark, jacket or sweat shirt with the hood up, a beanie and glasses, and having a "weird voice," police said.

If you frequently observe your bird combing through her feathers meticulously with her beak, she's not just being random. She's actually being a tidy and neat bird -- a self-grooming process referred to as "preening" within the avian world. In many ways, preening is the birdie equivalent of a thorough shower and hair shampooing.
Oiling Up
If your hair ever looks lackluster and dull, chances are you bring it back to life with a deep conditioning or hot oil treatment. Birds aren't too different in that sense, only they employ their uropygial glands instead of store-bought grooming products. These glands emit an oil that helps to keep a bird's feathers glossy and lustrous. They are situated directly on top of birds' tails. Many varieties of pet birds possess these glands, although a handful of them do not, such as hyacinth macaws. By massaging the feathers with a combination of their beaks and the oil, birds have a pretty strong beauty regimen.
Deep Cleaning
Not only is preening beneficial for keeping feathers attractive, it also is handy for eliminating pesky dirt or dust that may be lingering on them. Preening is similar to the feline penchant for grooming using the tongue -- a way of getting rid of anything yucky. This cuts down on the grooming work for you, as a pet owner. Your main job in that department is to regularly cut your bird's nails.
Proper Order
If a bird's feathers are looking rather disorderly and disheveled, preening also can help revert them to their former flawless glory. If a bird has a few random feathers sticking out in the wrong direction, preening can take care of that, smoothing everything down into a perfect "coiffure."
When a bird preens another bird other than himself, the behavior is known as "allopreening." The reason for allopreening is somewhat cleanliness-related, although it also has another vital function -- strengthening the tie between a pair of birds. If a bird preens another, it is a sign of affection and fondness. It is a companionable behavior that indicates a strong connection -- and birds sure enjoy being preened by another.
Preening in birds is a sign of relaxation. If a bird is preening, then she is displaying a measure of ease with her environment. Stressed out birds often neglect their preening duties -- they simply are unable to concentrate on them.

Tila Tequla sues Shawne Merriman for abuse
In an incremental legal update, reality TV princess Tila Tequila is suing ex-boyfriend and San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman for domestic abuse, the AP reports. The penalty for allegedly choking a 100-pound MySpace mistress, according to the suit: $1.5 million.
Merriman was arrested on Sept. 6 after Tila (nee Tila Nguyen) signed a citizen's arrest warrant accusing him of battery and false imprisonment at his home. Merriman, 25, countered he was trying to protect Tila -- by throwing her to the ground and holding her down to prevent her from leaving. She might have been drunk, but Meriman's lawyer won't say that was the reason.
This civil suit is the result of local DA Bonnie Dumanis not filing charges against Shawne, despite the fact that he weighs in pretty close to three bills, and probably didn't have to force Tila to the ground to stop her, let alone allegedly choke her. We think it's entirely possible all those steroids Merriman's been taking may have clouded his judgment.

text: Life's turf on the road - The Province October 4, 200912:00AM PDT Previous Next BY MARC WEBER Home-field advantage started 24 hours early for the Portland Timbers. "The training field is crap," Vancouver Whitecaps goalkeeper Jay Nolly said Saturday from Portland, where today the Caps and Timbers complete their USL-1 semifinal series. Not just crap, but crappy grass. PGE Park, where the Timbers play, is turf. In Thursday's first leg -- a 2-1 Caps win -- Portland tried to exploit Vancouver's high defensive line up the middle with speedy attackers Mandjou Keita and Ryan Pore. But on the slick grass of Swangard Stadium, a handful of threatening balls skidded quickly to an alert, charging Nolly. None looked more menacing than when Pore busted through onside in the fifth minute. Today, on turf, the ball will react differently, and the Caps must too. "Definitely the ball is going to be affected," said Nolly. "On those plays [balls played over the top] the ball will check straight up on the bounce, so I won't be able to come for them as much. The defenders know they can't expect me to be there. It's totally different. "It would have been nice [to train on turf] but you train where they put you. We train on turf almost every day, so it's not something we're worried about." Second-year centre back Luca Bellisomo is the youngster in the back four, but he's been in sync with Shaun Pejic through three playoff games and head coach Teitur Thordarson will likely stick with him. Well-capped Canadian Chris Pozniak, coming off a groin injury, is the other option, but he could also play a holding midfield role. © Copyright (c) The Province Previous Next

Philadelphia, PA—The old saying, "what's a nice guy like you doing in a place like this," certainly applies to Alex Barbosa, who has two degrees from Temple University but currently is pursuing a career as a professional boxer. Undefeated in three pro fights, Barbosa returns to the North Broad Street campus Saturday evening, Dec. 8, in a scheduled four-round fight on a nationally televised boxing card at Temple's Pearson/McGonigle Halls.
Headlining the show, which will be televised live as part of the NBC Sports Network Fight Night series, is a scheduled 12-round contest between USBA heavyweight champion Bryant "By By" Jennings, of Philadelphia, and challenger Bowie Tupou, of Tonga.
The eight-fight live card begins at 7pm and the NBCSN broadcast will begin at 9PM ET. The co-feature, also set for TV, is a 10-round junior lightweight contest between Teon Kennedy, of Philadelphia, and Jerry Belmontes, of Corpus Christi, TX.
Barbosa, who takes on Joshua Arocho, of Vineland, NJ, in a four-round featherweight contest, graduated from Temple in 2006 with dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Political Science and Criminal Justice.
Doing things out of the ordinary is nothing new for Barbosa, 26, who was Commanding Officer of his Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at William Allen High School in Alllentown, PA.
He had planned to attend either West Point or the Naval Academy, but changed his mind and chose Temple.
"I chose Temple because I wanted to keep my options open," Barbosa said. "The ROTC program at the college level seemed like the natural course of progression and I wanted to go into the military as an officer."
And what did his parents think after he got a college degree and decided to become a professional boxer?
"My dad wasn't too happy about it,' Barbosa said, "and he wanted nothing to do with it. Later, he came around. My mom just wanted me to be happy so she was fine with it."
There were other incentives to get into boxing.
"I wrestled four years in high school and I also was on the tennis team," said Barbosa. "I was born in the Bronx (NY) but we moved to Allentown just before I went to high school. My brother, Jesus, was a professional boxer and he got me interested in the sport."
As an amateur at 122 pounds, Barbosa won the 2011 Mid Atlantic Novice Championship. That same year he was runner-up in the Open Division of the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves, also at 122.
When he is nor training at the James Shuler Memorial Gym in West Philadelphia, Barbosa is a boxing instructor at LA Boxing in Cherry Hill, NJ. Many of his students have followed him since his days as an amateur boxer.
"You must do what you love and be willing to sacrifice everything to get where you want to be," said Barbosa, "and that's how I feel about boxing. We'll see how it turns out."
