Developers are being urged to get to work on approved housing schemes to help tackle Brighton and Hove's housing crisis.
The call comes as a report reveals there are more than 1,500 stalled homes in the city at a time when housing waiting lists continue to grow and house prices rise.
A further 1,067 homes in Crawley have also been given planning permission but have yet to materialise into bricks and mortar and another 341 stalled homes in Worthing according to the Centre For Cities report.
Housing charities are calling on developers to be bold and build desperately needed new houses despite the uncertain economic outlook.
Some developers however pointed the finger at the city's determination to be green which was making building homes too difficult.
The Argus has also learnt that a £570 million government fund designed to kick-start stalled housing schemes has only had three successful applicants in Sussex since its launch in November 2011.
Only three developments for a total of 169 homes in Lewes, Bewbush and Wealden will see Get Britain Building money.
Property prices
A Land Registry report last week revealed that Brighton and Hove had one of the largest increases in property prices in 2012 with a 5.3% annual rise to an average £229,004 while the council's housing waiting list now exceeds 12,000.
Andy Winter, chief executive at the Brighton Housing Trust, said he hoped that a quick resolution to proposals to build 750 new homes on Toads Hole Valley would spur other developers into action.
He said: "Developers should either get on with it or pull out.
"We can't sit around for another five or ten years waiting for the economic climate to come right, the need for housing is too important.
"One of the problems with private development is these new homes could become second homes for people from London. That won't solve our housing crisis.
Social housing
"We need the social housing aspect so local people get a chance of this housing."
Businessman Mike Holland said: "The onerous conditions being imposed on developers is to blame.
"At the moment the green aspirations for this city are put before getting houses built. I'm not suggesting any party has been perfect but things have got worse since the Green administration took over."
Tony Mernagh said the city re-flected the country as a whole where less than half the targeted number of homes were built last year.
He said: "All local authorities can really do is make the climate propitious for housebuilders."
High numbers
Alexandra Jones, chief executive of Centre for Cities said: "Brighton has high numbers of stalled housing schemes. Ultimately, cities, not government, should make decisions about local housing requirements, so that the housing needs of their residents can be met."
A Brighton and Hove City Council spokesman said there was often a gap of one to two years between planning permission being granted and development starting because of a wide variety of financial, marketing or purchasing issues.
He said: "Even in the best market conditions it is quite normal to have a stock of planning permissions which have not 'technically' started.
"The economic situation over the last few years has adversely affected house building, and Brighton and Hove is no exception."
A Crawley Borough Council spokesman said: "The main reason for the delay in a number of these schemes is the current economic climate, particularly in the light of restrictive lending practices and inability for first-time buyers to obtain a mortgage, which makes sites with a high percentage of flats, aimed at the first-time buyer market, particularly at risk."

Wolfeboro nursing home evacuated after minor chemical spillBy LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader
December 12. 2013 9:57PM
WOLFEBORO — No one was injured but two wings of a local nursing home were temporarily evacuated after fumes from a minor cleaning chemical spill caused eye and throat irritation to about a dozen residents and staff members.
The Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue Department was alerted to a strange smell at the Wolfeboro Bay Care and Rehabilitation Center at 39 Clipper Drive at 2:35 p.m., on Wednesday, where the first arriving crews found the facility staff had started immediate action to maintain the safety of the residents and staff.
Deputy Fire Chief Tom Zotti said residents of the Granite and Kingswood wings were moved to the Village Green dining and lounge area, where residents stayed calm and sang Christmas carols before staff got the go-ahead to start serving dinner later that afternoon.
Zotti said symptoms of the chemical spill included irritation to the eyes and throat. The culprit chemical turned out to be Aqua Guard Tile and Spa Cleaner, an acidic substance used to de-scale and take mineral deposits off spas and bathtubs, Zotti said.
The symptoms listed on the chemical's MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) corresponded to what the staff and residents were experiencing. A small amount of the chemical, under a gallon, apparently spilled in the utility/storage closet on the first floor of the home, and because the fan inside the closet used to control odors was not working properly, the chemical odor permeated the immediate area.
"Once we narrowed it down, it was fairly simple to clean up," said Zotti, crediting the Carroll County Hazardous Materials Team for its work in pinning down the source of the irritant and for cleaning up.
The incident was declared under control and residents were allowed to return to their rooms at 5:43 p.m.Zotti credited the staff for launching its internal emergency management plan and taking immediate precautions. He said in the event the residents had to be evacuated from the building, staff was prepared to move them to other nursing facilities. The Wolfeboro Bay Center is owned by Genesis HealthCare, a company with five facilities in New Hampshire.
Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue was assisted at the scene by Stewarts Ambulance, with technical assistance provided by N.H. State Fire Marshal's Office Hazardous Materials Coordinator Les Cartier. Tuftonboro Fire-Rescue provided station coverage for Wolfeboro.
"This was a prime example of the benefits of planning and coordination between multiple responding agencies and the Wolfeboro Bay Center staff," said Zotti. "Facility staff immediately recognized a problem and began using the facility's emergency plan. Technical assistance from the Carroll County Hazardous Materials Team and the N.H. Fire Marshal's Office was superb. All this resulted in the best possible outcome for the residents."

Board chooses architect for high school project
SALEM — The firm that designed the preliminary plans for the Salem High School renovation project will stay on to complete the project, provided it passes at the ballot box in March.
This week, the School Board unanimously voted to hire Lavallee Brensinger Associates of Manchester as the architect for the high school renovation project.
The contract with the firm goes into effect if the approximately $75 million project passes in March.
The contract is for a lump sum of $3.74 million, or about 6.5 percent of the hard project costs, according to Superintendent Michael Delahanty.
Delahanty said the anticipated hard costs of the project total about $58 million, with additional soft costs such as furniture, equipment, and project management bringing the total cost of the project close to $75 million.
"I believe this is a good contract," said Delahanty. He said the cost is below the 7 percent of total project costs that the School Board had set as parameters for a contract.
Delahanty also emphasized the role Lavallee Brensinger has played in the conceptual design for the high school project as well as its work with the district on past projects.
"We have been a good client of theirs, and they have done good work for us," said Delahanty.
School Board member Peter Morgan agreed that it is a good deal for the district.
"I'm impressed with their capabilities and their willingness to work with us," said Morgan. "I'm confident that this will be a step forward and a step closer to a renovated high school."
Board member Patricia Corbett said she was also happy with the agreement and has heard positive feedback about Lavallee Brensinger at community forums on the renovation project.
"As I've attended the open houses, people in the community have approached me and said they are confident in the architect," Corbett email@example.com

Left: Fr. Frank with Joseph Scheidler, founder of the Pro-life Action League, on the first night of this year's national symposium.
Staten Island, NY -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, spoke at the third National Sidewalk Counseling Symposium sponsored by Pro-life Action Ministries and held in Minneapolis, MN from July 25-27.
"This is one of the most important gatherings each year in the pro-life movement," Fr. Frank asserted. "It is a gathering of front-line specialists from cities across America. They come together to sharpen their skills for the critical work of standing in front of killing centers and, in a conversation that is often only seconds long, trying to persuade moms and dads not to have their child killed. Then they return to their respective cities to train hundreds of others doing this work day by day."
"During these days, the Pope has rallied young people, and the whole Church, through his World Youth Day addresses, to pay active attention to the poor. One of the ways to do this is to rally to the side of the poorest of the poor, the unborn child, through sidewalk counseling," Fr. Pavone added. "I remember talking about this extensively with Mother Teresa when I visited her in Calcutta in 1994. She told me how she would go regularly to the places in India where abortions are performed, and take the women by the arm to bring them to her community, to find hope and life for them and their children. She exhorted us to do the same."

The first week of January is over. Are your people aligned?
Is every team member, from your front line employee to supervisor to mid-level manager and above, clear about the strategic direction of the organization? In most companies, it's well into the calendar year before team members understand the vision and strategy. If this is the case on your team, you'll probably notice a lack of clarity, confusion and unspoken expectations. The business results you'll experience are lost productivity, low employee engagement, and missed opportunities.

NEW YORK (AP) — Some highlights of CBS' moves in its schedule for next season.
WHAT'S NEW: Not too much. CBS has such a successful lineup — tops in total viewers and advertiser-favored young adults this season — that it is bringing aboard just eight new series. But it is toying with the limited-series format that looks like broadcasting's flavor du jour next year. CBS' experiment: "Hostages" and Intelligence," which will get shorter consecutive runs in the 10 p.m. Eastern time slot on Mondays.
WHAT'S GONE: "CSI: N.Y.," ''Vegas," ''Golden Boy" and "Rules of Engagement."
BIG MOVE: Keeping sitcom "Mike & Molly" and its red-hot movie star, Melissa McCarthy ("Bridesmaids," ''Identity Thief"), off the air until midseason. Network executives said they love the show, are thrilled about McCarthy's summer flick "The Heat" with Sandra Bullock, but wanted the flexibility of having 22 episodes of fresh product available later in the season to avoid rerun fatigue for viewers.
STAR POWER: Robin Williams, who gained fame with "Mork & Mindy" in the late 1970s, will return to sitcom life in "The Crazy Ones," starring opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") as his daughter and ad-agency partner. Another big name involved: David E. Kelley, who's shifting from his brand of hour-long dramedy ("Ally McBeal," ''Boston Legal") to the half-hour format.
QUOTE: "I don't care if you bow to the gods of demographics — that's a huge victory," CBS Corp. CEO Leslie Moonves said of CBS' expansive lead in total viewers over competitors ABC, NBC and Fox. While CBS has long touted its focus on that number over advertiser-favored young adults, its executives acknowledged they are making a stronger play for youth next season. One example: "We Are Men," with Kal Penn and Jerry O'Connell among four newly single men sharing temporary digs.
AMAZING FACTOID: The Tuesday-night lineup of "NCIS," ''NCIS: Los Angeles" and "Person of Interest" is the first time since 1982 that a network has had TV's three top-rated dramas on a single night, said Kelly Kahl, CBS prime-time senior executive vice president. The last trio to accomplish that feat: CBS' "The Dukes of Hazzard," ''Dallas" and "Falcon Crest."

In addition to fire and life safety issues and an increasing student enrollment, Newmarket school district officials and others have alleged deplorable and inadequate conditions at Newmarket Jr./Sr. High School to sell the taxpayers on the need to rally behind and fund new school construction.
The evidence and facts regarding alleged deplorable conditions and inadequacies of NMJSHS, like the alleged fire and life safety issues and enrollment projections, are, I believe, false distortions of the truth and reality.
Dr. Hayes refers to the 2004 facility analysis prepared by Team Design Architectural and Consulting Services to decry the unsatisfactory conditions of the current facility.
I obtained a copy of the report from the school district's website and analyzed its contents in order to better understand the seriousness and possible causes of the alleged deficiencies.
I am not by any means an expert in building or fire and life safety codes, however, I believe I am qualified to analyze the report and provide competent commentary for the public to consider.
The School District commissioned the study in 2004 to review and document the state of the two schools in the district.
The study appraised the facilities regarding handicap accessibility, fire and life safety code compliance, as well as the overall infrastructure, to include: Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems.
The NMJSHS analysis provided for life safety code compliance assumed that the existing facility would undergo substantial renovation requiring stricter code compliance, yet no such renovation plan was under consideration at that time.
Had team Design analyzed the facility for fire and life safety code compliance as an existing structure, instead of analyzing it based upon the wrongfully assumed premise that the facility would undergo a substantial renovation, any violations noted may actually not have existed.
The reports executive summary states: "Overall, the Newmarket Jr. /Sr. High School site appears to function adequately" and "The structure is in good shape with some minor cracking at slabs and walls, most likely caused by shrinkage."
These comments are a far cry from the statements put forth to the public by school district officials regarding the state of the facility.
It is unconscionable for Dr. Hayes to refer to a 2004 facilities report as justification for a new school. Had those in positions of responsibility then and now properly maintained the facility and addressed issues when they arose, as required by law and common sense, there is no way they should still exist eight years later.
I submit for consideration, for those concerned, that if the school is in a state of disrepair that school district officials have negligently and purposefully allowed the facility to fall into this state by not correcting deficiencies contained in the 2004 report, and by not properly maintaining the facility as is required.
New Hampshire law, Department of Education rules, common sense, and the duties and responsibilities of school district officials and employees require the proper maintenance of public schools.
RSA 194:34 states "it shall be the duty of said town district to raise and appropriate each year … sufficient money …, to properly maintain such high school…."
The law even provides recourse for districts that fail in this obligation to properly maintain a public school. RSA 194:36- states: "Any town district failing to comply … shall be fined for such neglect."
In other words, any discrepancies noted in the 2004 report necessarily should have been addressed years ago by school officials.
The recent alleged ceiling failures at the school are another perfect example of exploiting issues to build this new school.
While school administrators used this event to decry an old building in need of demolition, the reality of the situation apparently was a contractor who used substandard fasteners to install the ceilings, and a lack of oversight by school officials and building code inspector at the time the ceilings were installed.
Regarding adequacy of the facility to support educational objectives, as I have previously written about, Dr. Hayes wrongly bases the alleged inadequacy of the current facility upon school enrollment projections for 2020 which projects a student enrollment for grades 6-12 of 577 students.
It is important to remember that Newmarket residents have already previously spent millions of dollars for renovations to the original school to address adequacy issues. And with student enrollment having been decreasing for more than a decade, staff and students currently enjoy more space than previous staff and students have.
NMJSH may not be the prettiest of schools; but the school is adequate and does not warrant being abandoned or torn down.
The decision whether or not to build a new school is up to the voters; however, voters must have the unembellished facts in order to make sound decisions.
These are the facts.

The problem with "stay-cations" is that they are really just about "staying" and not really much about "cationing."
You stay home, cooking and cleaning and yelling at your kids, and then you say "I am on a "stay-cation!" and that's supposed to change anything??
One good thing is that the weather was absolutely glorious this week – which was lovely, especially after Mr. Gaga and my brother worked 5 long days to put together our new playground!!
At the end of the week – I got to have an actual girls' getaway – with my sister-in-law and mother at the Waldorf Astoria. I was looking forward to shopping, being pampered at Drybar and eating and drinking at amazing restaurants, like Le Cirque and Il Buco Alimentari e Vineria.
Life is great.
Only one problem.
My usual problem.
I have been able to sneak by with fashion choices during the past few years – that have kept me somewhat in style.
Mostly due to luck (thank you boyfriend blazer, Juicy Couture, UGGS, and ballet flats.)
It was like fashion magic that as soon as I was too weak and fat to wear a heel or a pant with a button, the styles changed to suit my needs.
It seems that the party is over.
Apparently while I was home wearing wifebeaters and flip-flops for 7 years, the rest of the world time-traveled to 1985.
I totally had not realized that we had gone back to the 80's – and I needed clothes for my NYC stay.
"Where should I go? I don't even know what to do, I am such an old weathered nerd…." I asked my BF.
"What is your damage, Gaga? Didn't you blog about this a year ago and say you were going to Ann Taylor Loft?" she asked.
"Oh right….I never did that."
This is always what happens to me. I get by with my t-shirts and jeans and then when I have to go somewhere I am in trouble.
So off I went to Forever 21 and H&M to get something cool and trendy.
The entire store was filled with 80's fashions.
80's fashions were hard to pull off in the actual 80's when I was 10.
It is extremely hard to pull of now that I am
in my 30's, fat, have a muffin top……older.
Let's just say that when you want nothing more than to look like this……
If you are an old weathered housewife – it ends up looking like this……
Apparently women that are still occasionally asked when they are due – do not look good in skin-tight neon pink pants and half shirts.
I came home defeated wearing a new black jacket and more wifebeaters.
"What are you wearing?" asked Mr. Gaga.
" A jacket. It used to belong to Jimi Hendrix." I replied.
"You bought a used jacket? What are we, poor?"
I decided I would just shop when I got to New York…. you know the land of skinny women who are on top of every trend.
That was a totally awesome idea!
My sister-in-law and I went to Saks first, thinking it wouldn't be as absurd as Forever 21.
When we arrived I realized that Saks had time traveled to the 80's as well. As I looked through the piles of colored neon pants, leggings with lace on the bottom and half shirts – I couldn't believe my eyes. I think I even say a t-shirt on it that said "RELAX."
"I feel like I have already been down this road." I said with shock to my sister-in-law, as I looked through a pile of jelly bracelets.
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads." she answered cryptically.
The store was filled with 80's pants and I tried to narrow down my choices….
I asked a young man to help me choose something appropriate. You should wear these – he said picking up the hot pink pair of skinny jeans.
"I don't think so…" I answered.
"You should listen to me – I have been here for 7 1/2 years…I'm no dummy." he answered.
I politely declined.
I finally settled on a coral cropped pair and paired it with coral nails and lips. I considered a Swatch watch but felt it was too ridiculous and just picked up some feather earrings instead. We spent HOURS shopping and we finally had some trendy pieces to work with.
I picked up some Rubix Cubes and some Garbage Pail Kids for Sam and Michael and headed back to the hotel to get ready. We continued to enjoy our luxurious weekend of eating and drinking.
By the time I got home I was fully relaxed, completely comfortable with my new 80's fashions and feeling very pampered.
I was thrust back to reality right when I came home to see filthy bedrooms with Lego pieces everywhere, laundry to the ceiling, and no food in the refrigerator.
I looked at Mr. Gaga who was watching a game.
"I don't belong here, I feel it, don't you think I feel it! I can't do any of these vile things and I wouldn't WANT to. Oh, my life is like death! My children are the spawn of hell, and you're the devil. Oh God!"
He looked up at me and then looked back at the television.
Corn nuts.
So in honor of the fact that we have time-traveled to the 80's I felt compelled to incorporate 6 movie quotes from the 80's……
What are some of your favorite quote from the 80's???

Mystery of Chaco Canyon
Mystery of Chaco Canyon Previous Broadcasts
KQED World: Fri, Mar 8, 2013 -- 7:00 AM
Chaco Canyon, located in northwest New Mexico, is perhaps the only site in the world constructed in an elaborate pattern that mirrors the yearly cycle of the sun and the 19-year cycle of the moon. How did an ancient civilization, with no known written language, arrange its buildings into a virtual celestial calendar, spanning an area roughly the size of Ireland? Why did this society, ancestors of today's Pueblo Indians, choose to establish the center of their world in the middle of such an arid, barren land? And why, after constructing buildings the sizeof the Roman Coliseum, did these same people deliberately seal them a nd abruptly leave? These enigmas have puzzled archaeologists for centuries. This program presents substantial evidence that the Chacoan people expressed a complex solar and lunar cosmology in their magnificent architecture. The discoveries documented in the film have transformed scientific understanding of this site - one of the most elaborate and mysterious of ancient Native-American ruins - and are revolutionizing perceptions of the Chacoan civilization.

MOSCOW, Nov. 8 (UPI) -- Israeli President Shimon Peres urged Russian President Vladimir Putin Thursday to use his influence to "stop the bloodshed" in Syria.
Peres, visiting Moscow, met with the Russian president, RIA Novosti reported.
"The border with Syria has been silent for many years, and we would like it to stay that way," Peres said afterward. "I believe Russia and you have an important role: You can stop the bloodshed in Syria and bring peace and security not only to Syria but also to the Middle East."
Russia and China oppose intervention to help the Syrian rebels, saying they and Syrian President Bashar Assad are to blame for violence there. Both have used their vetoes on the U.N. Security Council to block sanctions against the Syrian government.
Thousands of people have been killed in Syria since large demonstrations began last year, and the country is now in a civil war.
Peres also warned Russia: "Those who deny the possibility of a disaster in Iran may indirectly cause it."

Diane von Furstenberg creates clothes for women that walk with swagger. This collection was no different as it was a throwback to her iconic days of upcoming success in the Studio 54 era. It was a celebration of all of her achievements and success in fashion remembering where she started. Comfort and glamour are two things that go hand in hand for the woman that wears this collection as can be seen by the forgiving fabrics and genius wrap dresses. The show started and ended with models smiling as they strutted down the runway to disco beats. The designer took her fans to a place in time of Glam Rock in the likes of Mick Jagger and David Bowie.
Dusty neutrals played off of metallic showstoppers creating balance within the collection. Models commanded attention in bronze lame pants paired with fur vests. A wing printed pant suit was elevated to the next level with beading and embellishment that reflected off the runway. It seemed as though von Furstenberg took note of every Olympic medal using gold silver and bronze metallics throughout the collection.
The iconic wrap dress may date back to the 1970s but it is still as popular as ever. This season the wrap dresses were re-issued in ultra suede as in true 70's fashion. These easy to wear dresses are perfect for the city chic girl that is on the go.
Larger than life prints have always been a forte for the veteran designer and this collection certainly wasn't lacking. Diane von Furstenberg offered a plethora of patterns to suit many a kind of woman. Inspired by the Escher-esque birds that are forever in motion, wing prints decked out pants, blouses and dresses alike. Leopard print came in all shapes and sizes creating eye catching and strong looks. The chain link print was distorted in a frenzy of black and white for the funky girl.
Equally strong and feminine, Diane von Furstenberg never ceases to amaze her throng of devoted fans. As she danced down the runway to "I'm Every Woman", she showed off her effortless glamour that sums up just what the DVF brand stands for. Dress like you are a rock star as Diane von Furstenberg said, "Life is a party."

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie emphasized this his decision to get weight-loss surgery had nothing to do with any future political ambitions. But it also highlights a reality of American presidential politics: There hasn't been a significantly overweight president of the United States in nearly a century. It's hard to find even overweight presidential candidates.
Christie said he received lap band surgery over President's Day Weekend because he was concerned about his long-term health. "I tried a whole bunch of other things that hadn't worked," he told reporters Tuesday. "It's not a career issue for me, it's a long-term health issue for me, and that's the basis upon which I made the decision."
But the many negative connotations society attaches to being overweight, from perceptions of attractiveness to assumptions about an individual's health, carry over into politics. "We make unbelievable judgments in the blink of an eye," says Democratic strategist Eric Adelstein.
While it's impossible to know a person's cholesterol level or blood pressure simply by looking at him or her, that doesn't stop people from deducing how healthy a person is by his or her weight. And talking about a candidate's health is fair game in a presidential contest, said Democratic media strategist Neil Oxman. "In a governor's race, no one really cares. Your finger isn't on the nuclear button."
"Presidents have yearly physicals and their physicals are published – it's a big deal," said Oxman. "In a presidential campaign, it's an issue in the sense of, do you want to vote for somebody for president who you're worried about whether they can serve out a term?"
Image has also long played a major role in elections, from the days of Abraham Lincoln growing a beard to television viewers concluding a younger, rested John F. Kennedy won a 1960 presidential debate over Richard Nixon. This is especially true in presidential campaigns conducted in today's oversaturated and instant media culture, where every move is scrutinized.
The most recent oversized president was President William Howard Taft, who didn't shy away from talking about his weight. He weighed 340 lbs. at the end of his presidency, telling reporters he slimmed down to 270.8 lbs. 10 months after he left the White House.
Bill Clinton's eating habits became an issue during his first run for president, but the concern wasn't overwhelming.
Christie's weight has been mentioned in political attacks before. A 2009 campaign ad by Jon Corzine alluded to Christie's weight, stating that he "threw his weight around as U.S. Attorney." It concluded with a slow-motion shot of Christie exiting a car.
Adelstein says people voicing health concerns about overweight candidates are actually using coded language.
"I don't think voters say, 'I'm not going to vote for him because he's overweight and he's going to have a heart attack.' They didn't vote against Reagan" when questions about his mental state were raised, Adelstein said. "I'm not saying [health] is irrelevant, but if you did a focus group and asked people to start talking about it, I think some of that language is a cover-up for not wanting to look superficial or judging someone because of their physicality."
But criticizing a candidate's weight is a difficult line of attack for an opponent to make without being perceived as a bully or insensitive -- particularly if the candidate has been public about the struggle to lose pounds.
"Other candidates doing a personal attack, even if it's effective against that candidate, it could be the 'murder-suicide' effect – it will also hurt the person making the attack," Republican media strategist John Brabender said.
There is a flipside to this, depending on how a candidate plays it. Struggling with weight isn't a foreign issue for people – one-third of adult Americans are considered obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee lost more than 100 pounds, which he chronicled in a book and discussed during his 2008 presidential campaign. A weight-loss journey could further endear Christie to regular Americans: that this is a man who struggles with the same problems as they do.
"It makes him more real and believable, and frankly that's been a big part of the charm of Chris Christie," Brabender said. "That was the problem Romney had – he looked so much like central casting and wore suits so well and looked good and in shape, looked so much younger than he was – he looks like they got together and drew up a president. A lot of people felt they couldn't relate to him."
Oxman says he envisions a presidential campaign in which "you can turn a heavy person into a cultural icon and hero."
Christie has taken various approaches to publicly address his weight. His size has been the theme of late night jokes. Christie tried to show he can laugh at himself, most memorably by eating a donut while appearing on David Letterman's show. In February, a former White House physician said she was worried Christie would die in office if he were elected president -- to which plainspoken Christie responded that "she should shut up."
Christie has previously said he's in good health but that his doctor tells him "my luck is going to run out relatively soon."
"If you talk to anybody in this room who has struggled with their weight, what they will tell you is that every month, every year there's a plan," Christie said in February. "And so the idea that somehow I don't care about this, of course I care about it, and I'm making the best effort I can and sometimes I'm successful and other times I'm not."
If he's successful this time around, "it's the great American story, the second chance, self-improvement, another lease on life," said Adelstein. And what voter wouldn't like that?

The 2013 holiday shopping season was in full swing Friday at malls and retail shops around San Joaquin County.
The 2013 holiday shopping season was in full swing Friday at malls and retail shops around San Joaquin County.
Even with many stores launching door-buster sales earlier Thursday, parking lots around major retail centers were packed, and eager shoppers continued to seek Black Friday bargains.
Early Friday afternoon, there was still a line of dozens waiting outside the Old Navy store at Stockton's Weberstown Mall.
"Amazing" is how store manager Davina Vargas described the turnout as she worked crowd control at the front door, allowing in groups as other customers left. "It's definitely bigger than we expected."
The draw was Old Navy's first-ever blowout of 50 percent off all merchandise in the stores.
A strong kickoff was seen at other stores in the mall as well, Weberstown manager Tom Cleveland said.
Major stores had lines outside waiting for the 8 p.m. Thursday launch, he said, including an estimated 1,200 at J.C. Penney.
"What I'm seeing is a marked upswing, not only in traffic but also in sales," he said Friday. "I've done a straw poll of some of my tenants ... that are expressing happiness with their beating last year's sales numbers.
"My feeling is that we're witnessing a repair to our retail economy," Cleveland said.
Shoppers seemed to be enjoying the experience, as well.
Yolanda Orejel of Stockton, at Weberstown with her husband, Julio, and the couple's three childen - each appearing to tote a shopping bag or two - said Black Friday was a great time to shop.
"Absolutely," she said. "There's a lot of bargains; stuff we can get cheap now and use all the rest of the year."
Jane Hernandez of Los Angeles was at the mall with her family as well.
"Came here for Santa Claus, and then we're just shopping," she said. "Having a great time."
Down Pacific Avenue at Stonecreek Village shopping center, shop owner Stephanie Dondero said sales were definitely off to a good start at her home d�cor, accessories and gift store, Regalo Bello.
That's important, because the holiday season may account for about a third of the boutique's annual sales.
"We ordered more (merchandise) this year and reordered more earlier," she said about keeping up with demand. "It's going to be a good year."
Regalo Bello's own tradition is to hold its big holiday kickoff on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, so shoppers still have that to look forward to.
But Dondero said she and Shaunna Brandt, her sister and shop co-owner, may be changing tactics.
"Next year, were going to do a Black Friday (event)," she said. "It sounds like fun."
At Bass Pro Shops in Manteca, the parking lot was full Friday afternoon, and General Manager Dan Dugger said the store, now in its fifth year, had seen a strong response.
"It's been a very good Black Friday," he said.
Besides everything for outdoors sportsmen, Bass Pro Shops offers a winter wonderland area with holiday d�cor and free photos of the kids visiting Santa.
For the company as a whole, customers have downloaded more than 1 million of those holiday snaps, Dugger said.

One well documented theft = three separate seizures - Egypt's successes in curbing the sale of a stolen ancient objects
|Image Credit: Antiquities Repatriation Sector of the Ministry of Antiquities, Egypt
Four years after being stolen and then trafficked illegally out of Egypt, a painted wooden New Kingdom mummy mask has been returned to its country of origin this week, after turning up at a French antiquities auction in December 2016.
The mask is just one of 96 artifacts from the Pharaonic, Greek and Roman periods, discovered during foreign archaeological missions which were stolen in 2013, during a break-in of the Museum of Antiquities storage facilities at Elephantine. An archaeologically rich island, Elephantine is the largest island in the Aswan archipelago in Northern Nubia, Egypt. The island lies opposite central Aswan, just north of the First Cataract on the Nile.
The island's southern tip is well known for the site of ancient Abu, where both the island and the urban settlement got its name. Meaning both 'elephant' and 'ivory' the name serves as a reminder of the island's importance during Egypt's Middle Kingdom period and for its role in the empire's ivory trade.
Given that the professionally excavated objects were formal discoveries by authorized archaeological missions, versus illicitly excavated, the stolen antiquities, were well documented. This gave the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities the necessary evidentiary documentation to list the ancient objects as possibly in circulation with national and international law enforcement authorities.
One Well Documented Theft = Numerous Separate Seizures
Monitoring the antiquities market closely, Egypt has succeeded in stopping the sale of several stolen objects from this single theft over the last few years. In this most recent incident, once the mummy mask had been spotted, Shabaan Abdel Gawad, the general supervisor of the Antiquities Repatriation Sector of the Ministry of Antiquities, was able to request that the mask's auction be halted, demanding the object's return through formal channels via the Egyptian embassy in Paris.

Sector of the Ministry of Antiquities, Egypt
Earlier, on January 29, 2017, the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities announced that a deputy from the British Museum had handed over a 16.5 centimeter tall, carved wooden Ushabti statue with gold inscriptions. This ancient object, stolen during the same break-in, had been relinquished by a British citizen. The funerary object had been excavated by Spanish archaeologists at the site of the Qubbet al-Hawa Necropolis in Aswan, and dates to ancient Egypt's Middle Kingdom period (circa 1990 BCE – 1775 BCE).
Ushabti statues, sometimes called simply "Shabtis" by dealers in the antiquities trade, are very popular with ancient art collectors. These small wooden and stone figurines were once placed in Egyptian tombs, intended to function as the servants of the deceased during their afterlife.

On June 14, 2015 a 2,300 year old Ancient Egyptian ivory statuette was identified up for sale at the Aton Gallery of Egyptian Art in Oberhausen, Germany. Stolen during the same 2013 robbery, this 11.5 cm tall, statuette of a man carrying a gazelle over his shoulders, was unearthed in 2008 by a Swiss archaeological mission that had been carrying out excavations at the Khnum Temple at Elephantine. Once identified at the auction house, the Egyptian Antiquities Ministry reported the auction to INTERPOL.
The statuette is believed to date back to Egypt's Late Period, from 664-332 BCE which ended with the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great and the establishment of the Ptolemaic Dynasty.
According to a screenshot grabbed by ARCA on June 14, 2015 (and since removed from the dealer's website), the web page depicted the object's upcoming auction and included a reserve price of $5050. At the time of the auction, Aton Gallery had listed the provenance for the ivory figurine as being part of a German private collection, formed in the 60s and 70s, before being part of an earlier American Collection formed in the 1930s. Misleading provenance, in this case either by the auction house or the consignor, underscores how easy stolen and looted antiquities can be made to appear part of older more established collections, when in fact they are not.
|ARCA Screenshot capture: June 14, 2015
Piece by priceless piece, Egypt is taking collectors and dealers to task. And while 93 of the 96 stolen items are still out there, three recoveries are better than none.
France Desmarais of ICOM's International Observatory on Illicit Traffic in Cultural Goods has stated
"Stolen items are not necessarily lost forever because many can be recovered and will inevitably resurface at some point in time, whether in the art market or while crossing borders."
But Egypt's police force and governmental heritage authorities can only do so much in their protection of the country's thousands of archaeological sites, museums and historical objects. This vulnerability is something looters are all too aware of.
Playing on the limited resources of source countries, especially those suffering from political turmoil, looters, middlemen and traffickers can wait years before floating highly valued pieces onto the licit art market. In the interim, those dealing in black market sales sustain themselves financially on the proceeds derived from a small but steady trickle of smaller finds, often dribbled out to lesser known dealers and galleries. As the art market is adapting to online sales, some items are not being sold through brick and mortar shops any longer, instead, objects are passing through simple one on one, online or social media transactions.
But while objects from well documented thefts like the one on the Elephantine storeroom eventually do resurface, the process of identify-seizure-forfeiture, on an object by object basis is a painfully slow, and only moderately successful, road to repatriation.
To staunch the flow of high demand antiquities for vulnerable source countries collectors must begin to hold themselves more accountable. Knowing what we know today, collectors should curb their consumerist tendencies of wanting what they want when purchasing ancient art without documentation of legal export. More often than not, antiquities without sound paperwork have a higher probability of having been stolen or looted.
It's time for collectors to take themselves to task, taking stock in the origins of their past purchases and voluntarily relinquishing items bought in the past without concern for legality, when they have have contributed to the theft and looting of historic sites around the globe.
Doing the Right Thing
If you are a collector and you suspect an antiquity you have purchased may have been looted or stolen, here are some things you can do.
Consult the ICOM Red Lists. These lists highlight the types of artefacts that are in high demand on the art and antiquities market, protected by legislation, and vulnerable to being looted, stolen or illegally exported.
If your object is on one of these lists, consult with your local museum's curatorial staff.
Lastly, Interpol, National Law Enforcement, UNESCO, ICOM and organizations like ARCA maintain contacts with experts familiar with looted and stolen art. If you have doubts about a purchase and don't know who to contact or need help with the ancient remains in a specific country, please write to us here.

Jefferson County Sheriff searching for fugitive
UPDATE: The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office warrant division would like to thank the media and public for assistance in the capture of Kenneth Ray Taylor. Thanks to a Crime Stoppers Tipster, Taylor was taken into custody by the Beaumont Police Department on the night of Feb. 6, 2013, at an apartment in the 3100 block of Eastex Freeway. The tipster is eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.00 for their information leading to this dangerous fugitive's arrest.
ORIGINAL STORY: The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office (JCSO) is asking the public's help in finding a dangerous fugitive.
According to a press release, police are searching for Kenneth Ray Taylor, 23, of Beaumont in connection to three May 2012 robberies.
Sheriff's Deputy Rod Carroll said Taylor is suspected of robbing three people in the parking lot of Luke's Icehouse on Calder. He said soon after the suspect displayed a handgun and demanded money, a fight ensued and the would-be thief was shot.
"The third person he was robbing got in a scuffle with him over the gun and he (the suspect) shot himself."
Carroll said Taylor was likely shot in the leg.
Having been on the run for months, Taylor might have changed his appearance to elude police and is likely to be staying with close friends, Carroll said.
"He's running from us," he said. "He's changed his look."
JCSO is offering a cash reward of $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and/or capture of Taylor, who should be considered armed and dangerous.
"He's still in the area. 'Cause we're still getting phone calls about him," Carroll said. "He's just on the run."

Welcome !
Located north of Highmore, in central South Dakota, Daybreak Ranch™ consists of 8,000 private acres of native grassland, CRP, cropland, wetland sloughs, food plots and tree plantings. Daybreak Ranch is primarily used as a family ranching and farming operation but habitat is managed with interest in nurturing wildlife. Wildlife consists of pheasants, sharptail grouse, prairie chickens, hungarian partridge, ducks, coyotes, antelope, fox, whitetail and mule deer.
"At Daybreak Ranch, our goal and agenda has always been to share our unique hunting opportunities equaling, if not exceeding, historical South Dakota hunting reminiscent of wild pheasant hunting of the 1950's and 1960's and some of today's best whitetail deer hunting for both sportsmen and sportswomen. Everything is authentic, from the early ranch style homes provided to our guests, to the incredible large numbers of wild pheasants, sharp tail grouse, prairie chicken and trophy whitetail deer." - Jim Faulstich, Owner/Rancher/Farmer
To the left, is Jim Faulstich, hunting wild pheasants at Daybreak Ranch in 1959. Jim remembers what pheasant hunting was like with his dad and will work with your hunting group to ensure your hunt is as nostalgic as possible.
Three generations of Faulstich family have produced a nurturing environment attracting an abundance of wild pheasants, whitetail deer and wildlife. Jim's unique and distinct method for maintaining wildlife habitat generates wild pheasant populations you will likely never experience anywhere else. Daybreak Ranch offers wild pheasant hunts with sharptail grouse and prairie chickens as bonus birds. There are no preserve or hatchery raised pheasants.
To the right, a 1959 Faulstich family pheasant hunt. Wish you could go back in time and experience the wild pheasant hunting stories your father and grandfather have shared with you and your children? You can, call Jim today!
"Upland hunting at the Faulstich farm is like hunting at a family farm decades ago. Warm hospitality, thousands of acres of grasslands properly managed for livestock grazing and bird habitat, field crops, and shelter belts provide the right recipe for a plethora of pheasants all season long. These thousands of wild birds aren't planted, just nurtured the old fashion way with proper habitat, making for a memorable hunt anytime you are there. If the desire strikes you and you have the leg and dog power left to chase them for a few sections of land, the grouse and prairie chickens are a bonus addition to any pheasant hunt. They are an addictive challenge. Numbers of 30-50 birds in each covey will get your heart pumping every time and that addiction is hard to get out of your system. The only fix for that is another trip back to the Faulstich farm. It is certainly a honor and privilege to hunt at the Faulstich farm, I only wish I lived in South Dakota to make it a daily event.

Jim Faulstich was the National Cattlemen's Beef Association 2009 Environmental Stewardship Award region VII winner administered by the National Cattlemen's Foundation and National Cattlemen's Beef Association and sponsored by Dow AgroSciences and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Congratulations Daybreak Ranch and the Faulstich and Roth families!

Governors and Attorneys General Ask Obama Administration to Withdraw BLM Fracking RegulationsPosted by Jamie Hennigan on December 17, 2012
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Chairman of the Republican Governors Association (RGA), and Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, Chairman of the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA), sent a letter to the Obama administration today requesting the withdrawal of a rule proposed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that would regulate hydraulic fracturing on federal and Indian lands. The letter was a follow-up to a previous RGA/RAGA letter expressing concern over the rule and its impact on energy production and economic growth.
The rule, announced by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar in May 2012, was met with strong opposition by States, Tribal leaders, job creators, and other concerned citizens. Hydraulic fracturing has been effectively regulated by the States for over 60 years and is currently responsible for 30 percent of our domestic oil and natural gas production. With States like North Dakota seeing oil production increase by 500% in the last few years due to hydraulic fracturing, this technology represents one of the greatest opportunities for strengthening our Nation's energy security and spurring economic growth. According to a recent IHS Global Insight study, shale oil and natural gas activity will contribute over 1.7 million jobs in 2012 and increase by over 45% to almost 2.5 million jobs in 2015.
Over the past year, the Natural Resources Committee has held multiple oversight hearings to discuss the rule and its impact on the economy. At a May field hearing in Denver, CO, witnesses representing Western energy producers, public policy experts and local businesses testified about the harm to job creation, local economies and America's energy production that could result from the regulations. In April, the Subcommittee on Indian and Alaska Native Affairs held an oversight hearing to examine the impact of the regulations on Indian Tribal energy development. Indian Tribal lands hold a significant amount of oil and natural gas that could help Tribes create jobs, spur economic development and help improve education, health and infrastructure. Unfortunately, many Tribes are concerned that they were left out of the rulemaking process and that the rule could greatly impede Tribes' ability to develop their own energy resources.

As an evangelical denomination of believers who embrace the historic Christian understanding of Scripture, the Evangelical Methodist Church holds that sexuality is a gift from God and basic to human identity as well as a matter of behavioral expression. We hold that the full behavioral expression of sexuality is to take place within the context of a marriage covenant between a man and a woman and that individuals remain celibate outside of the bond of marriage. Therefore, we seek to cultivate a community in which sexuality is embraced as God-given and good and where biblical standards of sexual behavior are upheld.
Biblical Foundation
Foundational principles from the Bible on human sexual relationships are as follows:
- Humans, being created in the image of God, are inherently relational beings. (Genesis 1:26).
- The inherent relational nature of humankind is expressed in a variety of contexts including family, marriage, work, and for Christians, the Body of Christ (Hebrews 10:24-25; I Corinthians 12:14).
- Humans were created as gendered beings. They were expressly blessed by God to be fruitful and multiply and to exercise dominion over the earth (Genesis 1:26-28).
- Heterosexuality is God's design for sexually intimate relationships. Sexual union between a man and a woman is only to take place within the marriage covenant (Genesis 2:18, 21-24; Hebrews 13:4).
- Jesus reaffirms the marital covenant as existing between a man and a woman (Matthew 19:4-9).
- The New Testament teaches that followers of Christ are to remain celibate outside the bond of marriage. In sexual union, both body and soul are deeply impacted. A person who engages in sexual unions outside of the bond of marriage sins against his or her own body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 6:13, 18-20).
- The sexual union between a husband and wife has been designed by God to bring them together as "one flesh," creating a solid foundation on which to build a family (Genesis 2:18-24; Ephesians 5:31).
- In Scripture, several sexual behaviors are expressly forbidden, which include but not limited to: fornication, adultery, incest, unnatural sexual intercourse, and homosexual acts (Exodus 20:14; Leviticus 18:7-23; 20:10-21; Matthew 5:27-28; Romans 1:20-27; I Corinthians 6:9; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 4:17-19; Colossians 3:5).
The Evangelical Methodist Church is committed to a biblical understanding of our God-given sexuality as reflected in this statement. Any deviation from a biblical standard of sexual behavior is sin and therefore is an opportunity for repentance, grace, and redemption, so that as a community we might honor one another and glorify God.
Passed by The General Conference of the Evangelical Methodist Church in March of 2014, meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Who, oh who, will save the Joes while they're out saving the world?
No one apparently. To borrow from Jack in the Box, "G. I. Joe: Retaliation" is one hot mess.
Waiting didn't help. The decision to push the film from last summer into this year was theoretically to allow the filmmakers to convert it to 3-D and quietly beef up the role for the suddenly hot Channing Tatum.
It's easy to understand the thinking. In addition to last year's winning streak in "Magic Mike," "21 Jump Street" and "The Vow," the actor has five films out this year. He's also a perfect pick for Duke, the appealing all-American head of the elite G.I. Joe fighting corps. Tatum and Dwayne Johnson — back as Roadblock, Duke's massive No. 2 — have the whole BFF thing nicely honed. But even with the rework, Duke's presence is short-lived and not nearly enough to salvage the film.
PHOTOS: Scenes from 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation'
Converting to 3-D during the delay didn't improve things either. Yes, director Jon M. Chu succeeds in making it seem like the ninja sais are being hurled right at you. And sure, some of the sheer rock-face rappelling and parkour running surpasses Chu's "Step Up 2: The Streets" choreography. But all the new bells and whistles in the world, and all the stylized stunts can't mask the movie's problems.

New Orleans is bracing for record crowds as the biggest sporting event of the year, the NFL Super Bowl, collides with Mardi Gras season in what many locals are calling "Super Gras." Mardi Gras floats are getting finishing touches, including one float being touted as the biggest the city's Carnival has ever seen.
Bakeries are hiring extra hands to decorate the thousands of king cakes, a traditional Mardi Gras treat, being pre-ordered for the Super Bowl on Feb. 3. Mardi Gras falls nine days later on Feb. 12.
The city's hotels are more than 90 percent occupied for the weeks before and after the big game, according to Stephen Perry, president of the New Orleans Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau. "We are ready to give the world a show," said Perry.
Carnival season, with parades, parties and masked revelry in the weeks before Mardi Gras, is always one of the most expensive times of year to visit New Orleans.
But Super Bowl weekend has driven prices higher than usual. Smaller boutique-style hotels that usually go for $300 to $500 a night during Carnival are as high as $800 during Super Bowl. Rooms at some major hotels are up to $2,000 a night, according to online listings.
Carnival parades will not be held downtown during Super Bowl weekend, but dozens will roll in the city on the weekends before and after the game. Some sports fans are extending their stays to take in the masked riders tossing beads, costumed marching groups and make-believe royalty.
Parades normally held in the suburbs will take place as scheduled on game weekend. "There will be so much energy in the street," Perry said. "It's a very unique situation to have Super Bowl, which is truly an experience of a lifetime, coinciding with a unique cultural event like Mardi Gras."
This will be New Orleans' 10th Super Bowl, tying Miami for the city that's hosted the most Super Bowls. It's also the seventh Super Bowl taking place in the Superdome, now named for its sponsor Mercedes-Benz. But more importantly, it will be the Superdome's first Super Bowl since Hurricane Katrina ripped off its roof and flooded surrounding streets when levees gave way in 2005.
Thousands of evacuees were housed in filthy conditions in the damaged arena for days after the storm with no air conditioning or working bathrooms.
The dome has since undergone more than $336 million in renovations, including new suites, concession stands, and bathrooms, and new electrical, video and audio systems. All seats were cleaned or replaced, and club lounges got new windows with views of downtown.
The dome's outer shell - faded a dull gray by more than three decades of Louisiana sun and dented by flying storm debris - has also been replaced. The new siding restores the stadium to the champagne color it had in 1978 when it hosted its first Super Bowl.
Though there are no public tours of the dome, anyone can attend the Jan. 29 Super Bowl media day. For $25, fans can sit in the stands, listen to NFL Network coverage and player interviews with portable head-sets, and get a look at the newly-renovated space.
Also open to the public is the NFL Experience, a theme park for football lovers set up at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center Jan. 30-Feb. 3. It's $25 to enter and includes interactive games and a regulation-size goal post where fans can kick field goals. Fans can also visit the NFL Experience's media area, where player and celebrity interviews are held.
"We opened the area to fans for the first time last year, and the feedback was incredible," said Mary Pat Augenthaler, the NFL's director of special events. She said the media area includes "Radio Row" and the NFL Network. "Last year some fans spent hours just in that one section. Not everybody can go to the game, but in here you feel like you're a part of the central nervous system of the Super Bowl."
As Super Bowl fans leave town, a new wave of revelers will arrive for Mardi Gras weekend. That's when some of the city's largest parade organizations, known as superkrewes, hold their glitzy balls and parades.

I was sent a selection of products from a French brand, terre d'Oc which is certified organic, non-comogenic and is formulated with a number of oils and butters. The idea is that the products nourish as well as looking pretty!
I have 3 products here, Eye Shadow Duo which has a cream texture in Rose and Prune Takaro, Eye Kohl in 701 Prune Kerala and Gloss Sublime Lip Gloss in Peach.
Want a closer look?
I was surprised by the packaging – it's more refined than I thought it would be (sometimes mineral/organic brands can look a bit less…put together?!). Here is the packaging:
Here is the Duo eyeshadow – these are cream and have a slightly tacky texture. The pigment is ok, although it's quite different to other eyeshadows – not metallic, not really shimmery. This did crease on me therefore I think it works better as a base to a powder shadow.
The Eye Kohl winds up and it's like a rich crayon. The pigmentation is so so – I find it doesn't work so well on the waterline but works better as an eyeshadow:
Finally the lip gloss is my favourite product – good pigmentation, a pretty shimmer and a nice texture. It hydrates well too. Here are the swatches:
The lip gloss (peach) has a really nice shimmer to it and feels comfortable on the lips:

The wait — and weight — is over for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
In September 2012, Chavez lost a one-sided but dramatic fight to Argentina's Sergio Martinez, after which he was suspended for marijuana use. Saturday night, he climbs back into the ring after a year's absence to fight Brian Vera at StubHub Center in Carson.
The non-title bout was originally contracted to be a super-middleweight fight with a weight limit of 168 pounds.
But Chavez (46-1-1, 32 knockouts) reported this week that he was at 173, and the fight's promoters renegotiated for the new limit of 173 Friday after Chavez had said, "This is not a championship fight. I will be close to 168."
Chavez, son of the legendary Mexican champion Julio Cesar Chavez, weighed in Friday at 172.4 pounds and Vera pumped on a few more pounds, too, weighing in at 171.2. As part of the negotiations, Vera's camp had the fight reduced from 12 to 10 rounds.
Chavez promoter Bob Arum worked this week to deflect criticism from his boxer, who's still trying to overcome the perception he's coddled.
"He's worked very hard, but I think with the layoff he was up way past 200 pounds," Arum said. "He's a big kid, and it's been hard to come down."
After recovering from a cut over his right eye that delayed this fight from happening on Sept. 7 at
Arum said if Chavez shows he can "step it up and prepare himself like a regular fighter," he'll look to 2014 dates against a veteran such as Arthur Abraham and a super-fight against 168-pound world champion Andre Ward.
"I want to see Julio aggressive, throwing punches to the body, being the crowd-pleasing fighter people love to see," Arum said. "I want everyone to see he's back."
Those around Chavez say he's more mature.
Chavez admits he made mistakes, smoking marijuana and caving in to the stress of things like weight cuts, aches and pains and the magnitude of the Martinez fight.
"I felt like I was working too hard and needed to relax," Chavez said of his marijuana use. "I used something illegal, it was wrong and I got penalized."
Martinez dominated their bout until Chavez rocked him and knocked him down in the 12th round. Martinez won by decision.
"I was very upset and angry with myself," Chavez said of his layoff mood. "I didn't come close to doing what I wanted to do in that fight. I guess if you go through a difficult time, you have to find a reason to learn from it.
"I want to regain the position where I was before the loss against Martinez. I am really looking forward to erasing all of those bad memories."
Chavez has his father as an assistant trainer to new head trainer Vladimir Baldenebro.
"With my dad, he was always yelling and screaming from his seat in the crowd, so I said, 'Let's do it more professionally, come help me in the corner instead of making security tell you to get back in your seat,'" Chavez said.
Vera (23-6, 14 KOs) has twice defeated former super-welterweight champion Sergio Mora and said to "expect a war. We're both prepared to come to fight and have great chins."
The card also includes Russian middleweight Matt Korobov (20-0, 12 KOs) against Grady Brewer, with Arum hoping it leads Korobov to a fight against middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.

Spinal Cord Injuries
Could you tell me if there have been any recent breakthroughs in the treatment of spinal cord injuries? Thanks.
There are several new, promising therapies, but no breakthroughs, per se. One therapy, which is being studied here at The University of Cincinnati, involves having a patient bicycle using a special bicycle that provides electrical stimulation to the legs. This stimulation induces the patient to bike, and provides the patient with a cardiovascular benefit. However, pilot data suggest that participation in this regimen may also provide some functional benefits, in terms of improving motor function and decreasing patient reliance on medication. This is currently being investigated with incomplete spinal cord injured patients at The University of Cincinnati. Another promising modality is treadmill assisted supported walking. In this intervention, SCI patients` weight is partially supported using a harness while the patient is induced to ambulate on a treadmill. Preliminary studies suggest that this intervention is especially effective with incomplete spinal cord injured individuals. Other drug studies are occurring as well.

I think if I was "Big Nasty" and I had agreed to go on "Bully Beatdown," I might allow myself a solemn moment of self-pity when they announced that I'd be facing Andrei Arlovski. If he saw season one of the show, this bully was probably expecting some mediocre heavyweight, maybe someone with a record barely above .500. He certainly could not have been expecting a former UFC heavyweight champ, but dammit, Arlovski heard those victims' tales of bullying woe, and he came to help.
If you're wondering how authentic this stuff is, you should check out the October issue of Fight Magazine, where editor Donovan Craig goes behind the scenes of this show and watches the Arlovski beatdown live. After getting KO'd in a little over thirty seconds, this bully seemed, shall we say, humbled. As the doctors checked him out backstage and the show's producers questioned him about his experience, he summed it up thusly:
"Ya'll are mean, dawg. …When I heard them say Andrei Arlovski…I thought it was a joke. …That was fucked up."
Yes, Big Nasty. From your perspective, it must have seemed so. From ours, it was quality entertainment.
