1. Given everything we learn from Edward about the fact that he was able to stop from drinking Bella's blood, but that he didn't like how she smelled when she had a transfusion, what does that say about his control over the way he thirsts for her blood? Do you think drinking her blood makes it easier or harder for him to resist now?
For the smell, I think that he didn't like the transfusion because he became use to how Bella smelled. I think that it was harder for him to resist her blood, especially after tasting it. But I think that because he felt how it was to lose Bella, that his love and the fear of losing her overrode the thirst for her blood.
2. Edward admits that Alice has seen Bella as a vampire. Why do you suppose, since he of all people knows it's crazy to deny Alice's visions, that he is so resistant to giving in and changing Bella?
Because he of all people also knows how easily it is for Alice's visions to change. And he was soo set in stone about NOT taking away her life as a human, the way his was.
3. Bella begs Edward to never leave her. Although he never exactly promises NOT to leave her, he does say it would be impossible for him to even try. Knowing what we know about New Moon, do you think he was saying this as a way to tide Bella over and keep her calm for now? DO you think he had plans even at this point in the story to one day leave her?
I think that in that point in the story, he wanted to leave her, because he didn't think that he deserved her and he wanted to keep her safe. But I also think that he wouldn't leave unless he found a good enough reason.
4. Bella and Edward argue about her becoming a vampire, to which he point blank says that he will never do that to her. When I first finished reading Twilight, I was very torn over whether or not Bella should become a vampire. How did you feel at this point? Try to ignore all the discussions you've had here at the lex and focus on your first initial reaction. Did you think Bella should be changed right away and leave her family and life behind, or did you think Edward was being sensable to tell her that her mortality was important and more natural than anything he could give her?
I think that Bella was a little naive. She didn't fully comprehend that she would have to leave behind everyone. So I do think that Edward was being sensible, he knew what she would lose and he was dead-set on not letting her lose that.

The A's have had their first Champagne shower of the season. It happened Saturday, after Yoenis Céspedes got word via text message that his mother and 11 other relatives had landed safely in Miami, the end of a harrowing yearlong journey that began with their defection from Cuba. Céspedes was ambushed in the clubhouse by A's batboys, who sprayed him with Champagne to celebrate his family's freedom. Céspedes then caught a red-eye to Florida and surprised his kinfolk early Sunday morning. "No one knew I was coming," Céspedes said Tuesday. "Everyone was sleeping, so I turned on all of the radios, all of the TVs. Nobody woke up, so I went upstairs and started knocking on all of the doors and screaming." That side of Céspedes, the giddy screamer, is one that most of us in the Bay Area haven't seen. In his rookie season, Céspedes was very quiet and kept pretty much to himself in the A's clubhouse. Near the end of the season and in the playoffs, he became even more withdrawn, sometimes declining to speak to the media. We didn't know that while he was putting his heart on the line for his team every night, he was also suffering with every scrap of news regarding his relatives' increasingly desperate attempts to join him in America. On Tuesday morning, Céspedes said he was "very happy. So much happiness."

A circle is inscribed inside a triangle whose vertices are at the points (0, 0), (4, 0), and (0, 3). Find the center of the circle.
I've drawn the points and found that this is a right triangle, but I don't think that helps. The center of the circle will be where the three angle-bisector lines cross, but is there an easier or faster way of doing this? Thanks.

Lower body muscle imbalance in rugby players
Search Medline for
|October 24, 2011
Introduction: Rugby involves all aspects of physical fitness including but not restricted to, balance, coordination, flexibility, aerobic and anaerobic endurance, reaction speed, strength and power [1], [2].
Considering the multitude of skills required by the rugby players, it is very important that training be based on relevant functional tests for this sport.
In order to increase the leg stability and performance, but also to decrease the number of sports injuries it is useful to investigate imbalances between left and right legs of the rugby players [3].
Objective: The study is aiming to demonstrate the importance of proper testing and adaptation of training according to the test results in order to increase physical performance and decrease the risk of injury.
Material/Methods: A total of 22 rugby players, underwent measurements of explosive force (Counter movement jump) evaluate using Myotest system and one leg explosive force (Squat jump) evaluate with Optojump system, before the start of a training camp and after two months of training. Exercise training comprised: strength training (once on 48 hours, 3-6 sets of 2-6 repetitions at 80-95% 1RM), aerobic training, completed by field training. During the training period was considered the power differences between legs and was emphasized the strengthening of the weaker leg.
Results: The evaluation of sportsmen at the end of the study showed an statistically significant increase in explosive power of the lower limbs (from 39.41±6.998 W/kg to 46.36±8.399 W/kg, p=0.009), along with an increase in explosive force at the same level (from 21.59 N/kg±1.82 to25.75±3.25 N/kg (p=<0.001).
Regarding the differences in explosive power between legs, although we didn't find statistical differences at baseline, we noticed a mean difference of 0.48 W/kg between right and left leg. After only 2 months of training the mean differences was reduced to 0.28 W/kg.
Conclusion: Two months of intensive exercise training, significantly increase explosive power and force of the lower limbs. Emphasizing the strength training of the weaker leg, we can adjust the muscles imbalance and decrease the risk of injury. Based on testing results, physical trainers should create personalized training programmes for adjusting muscular imbalance. In case of injury followed by important asymmetry, proper rehabilitation should be performed before starting the specific exercise training.

The Dolphins have fired special teams coach John Bonamego and replaced him with assistant special teams coach Darren Rizzi, according to coach Tony Sparano.
The decision was made by Sparano overnight.
Bonamego was Miami's special teams coordinator since 2008. He was the coach most responsible for the poor play of the teams the past two weeks when the Dolphins had two punts blocked, had a field goal blocked and returned for a TD, and gave up a 103-yard kickoff return TD.
Rizzi joined the Dolphins in 2009 and had no previous experience in the NFL prior to that. Rizzi has been coaching in college since 1993 through 2008 with Colgate, New Haven, Northeastern, New Haven again as the head coach, Rutgers and Rhode Island as the head coach.
In announcing Bonamego's departure, Sparano called it a "tough decision," cautioned that "it ain't all broke," and "players also have to take responsibility."
There will be some changes with players also in the coming weeks although there are no specifics at this time. The Dolphins have used starters on special teams, including Tim Dobbins, Jason Allen and Cameron Wake.
"I want my core players to play better on special teams right now," Sparano said. "To be honest, if we need to put more starters in there, we'll look at that."
I recognize that some of you will view this move as a day late and three touchdowns allowed short. The special teams, after all, have struggled for years in Miami with last week's Jets game being among the worst of that.
In that regard, Sparano might have moved one week sooner.
But doing it today, after Monday night's meltdown which I described in my Miami Herald column as an epic failure, is better than nothing. It is a risk. Rizzi might not be the permanent fix. And as the assistant, he was part of the staff that authored the problem as well.
But perhaps he will oversee changes. Perhaps he will correct the issues with blocking schemes against line stunts that Bonamego clearly did not. I would start with Pat McQuistan, who simply didn't block anyone on one of the blocked kicks last night.
We'll see how it turns out.

Those are more important than coverage. It should probably have head smash since it has amazing attack and STAB gives it an effective 225 power. commented Apr 16, 2014 by brainbox There was already a post that addressed that very set though, so this is a different one. commented Apr 17, 2014 by DarkTyphlosion Using Avalanche is a risk, since it means you move last. Since its only to cover weaknesses, you would probably only use it against a weaknesses, and one Earthquake would easily KO Rampardos. Even if you get over the -6 priority, there are plenty of faster Earthquakers, like Excadrill. commented Dec 4, 2014 by Almighty Aggron Please log in or register to add a comment. 6 votes Gen V Rampardos (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Mold Breaker EVs: 20 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 232 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) Fire Punch Head Smash Earthquake ThunderPunch answered Jun 29, 2011 by trachy Nice moveset commented Jun 29, 2011 by Hex Please log in or register to add a comment. 3 votes Rampardos @ Choice Band Trait: Mold Breaker EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA) Earthquake Brick Break Head Smash Zen Headbutt/Crunch With adamant max attack choice band it gets a attack stat of 706 wich he should be able to do some reasonable damage with.

Plus, he has Pain Split and Leftovers. :P commented Aug 12, 2013 by Jar Jar Right, but it seems rather redundant considering the recoil if its main source of recovery is Leftovers and opponent's HP, but I'll take you're word for it.

Have a teammate setup trick room and your opponent will watch in horror as his team is ripped to shreds by a Pachycephalosaurus. Stone edge is sheer force boosted STAB without recoil that destroys most opponents anyway. Earthquake and fire punch are good coverage options that both nail steel types, and crunch can be used for hitting psychics and ghosts. Zen head but gets the sheer force boosts and hits fighting types, while head smash is for this who wish to learn what true power is. Other item options include iron ball to ensure rampardos is "fast" under trick room and choice band if you really want to hurt somebody.

- Premier League
Rodgers: Liverpool not far off top four rivals
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers reckons his side are on the right path towards matching Tottenham and challenging regularly for Champions League football again.
Rodgers can guide his side into the top half of the Premier League for the first time this season with a win at White Hart Lane on Wednesday night.
His first five months at Anfield have been made trickier by the challenges of trying to improve a lop-sided squad short of top-class strikers on a limited budget. But even though he has seen Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas spend £57 million on six players, including Liverpool summer target Clint Dempsey, Rodgers is not envious.
The Liverpool boss was a target for Spurs as they looked to replace Harry Redknapp at the start of the summer, but insists he made the right choice by moving to Anfield in June.
"I was very happy in my work at Swansea," Rodgers said. "Harry had done a brilliant job there, and for whatever reason, the club decided that it wasn't to be and looked elsewhere.
"For me to leave Swansea was going to be a big ask, but I had the opportunity to come here, and I've not regretted any moment of it."
Asked if there had been contact with Tottenham over their manager's job earlier this year, Rodgers said: "It's irrelevant. Tottenham have chosen a manager. Obviously, Harry had done a great job there, and they decided to go down the route of Andre Villas-Boas.
"Andre's gone in, he's looking to continue the great work Harry had done. My only thinking is about Liverpool."
Rodgers found it hard to hide his disappointment at missing out on Dempsey, who wanted to join Liverpool from Fulham in August, only for the deal to fall through, with Tottenham signing him for £6 million instead.
By the time Dempsey's future was sorted, Rodgers had already allowed Andy Carroll to join West Ham on a season's loan. The Liverpool manager has since had to manage a chronic shortage of strikers.
"There was an offer to sign Clint," he said. "He was a player who had been terrific at Fulham, so we were interested in him, and I'm sure several other clubs were as well. The club felt they had done what they could to get the player. It wasn't to be, and he moved to Tottenham. Our life moves on."
Rodgers feels Liverpool are on the right lines, heading to White Hart Lane unbeaten in eight league games - although that run includes five draws.
"We know we're not too far away," he said. "We're very, very close to arriving in that zone that we want to be in. You only need to look at some of the things that have gone against us in terms of goals disallowed, for instance. If you take those points alone, over the course of a few games, that would be shooting us right up there.
"But we're just going to look to take care of our own game and keep progressing. We know we have the qualities to grow and arrive up in there."
Anfield has not hosted Champions League football since Liverpool were eliminated in the group stages in December 2009. Tottenham, on the other hand, reached the quarter-finals in 2010-11 before losing to Real Madrid, and would have qualified for this season's competition had Chelsea not won it in May.
Rodgers acknowledges that he will not be given the money by owners Fenway Sports Group to match Tottenham's spending, and so has to find other ways to improve Liverpool's fortunes.
"Tottenham have been building the group steadily, and they've worked their way up to become challengers for those Champions League positions," Rodgers said. "They have invested heavily and done it over a number of windows. We're trying to arrive in that position, and we're seeing what it sometimes takes to do that.
"But if you haven't got the investment, then you have to find other ways of doing it, and that's where we are at the moment. We look at our way of working. Can we be different in our way of playing? Can we develop young players and bring them through? Can we find a bargain somewhere?
"Of course, Liverpool always want to be in for the top talent, and this is a club that can attract those players. But going forward, a lot of players want to be in the Champions League. So they want to come in to hear that's somewhere we want to get to in the coming years.
"It's about getting young players through, finding players we can develop, players who are hungry, and players who really want to succeed in helping the club move forward."

Production of corn for grain totaled 1.286 billion bushels in 2012, well below 2011 production of 1.947 billion bushels. The final yield was 105 bushels per acre, 52 bushels below last year. This was the lowest yield since 1988, when yield stood at 73 bushels per acre. Drought conditions in 2012 brought about the low yield. Acres planted in 2012 were up 200,000 from 2011 at 12.8 million, and 12.25 million acres were harvested for grain. Warm conditions in 2012 got planting off to an early start, with 5 percent of the crop planted as of March 25. Early planting and consistent dry conditions contributed to a crop maturing earlier than usual. Harvest ran well ahead of the usual pace. Low yields pushed farmers to harvest more of the crop for silage than is typical.
The final yield for the 2012 soybean crop was 43.0 bushels per acre, 4.5 bushels below 2011. This was the lowest yield since 2003, when yield stood at 37.0 bushels per acre. Production in 2012 reached 383,560,000 bushels, down about 10 percent from 2011. Acres planted in 2012 were up 100,000 from 2011 to 9.05 million acres. Acres harvested in 2012 stood at 8.92 million. Soybean harvest this year ran about the same pace as last year, which was above the 5-year average harvest progress.
The final yield for the 2012 winter wheat crop was 63 bushels per acre, up two bushels from last year's yield. Acreage seeded in the fall of 2011 was 660,000 acres, down 140,000 acres from 2010. Farmers harvested 645,000 acres for grain this year, compared to 765,000 acres last year. This resulted in a total production of 40.6 million bushels, a 13 percent decrease from the previous year.
The final 2012 yield for sorghum for grain was 60 bushels per acre, a 34 percent decrease from 2011. Production was 1.62 million bushels, compared to 1.82 million bushels the previous year. Total planted and harvested for grain acres were 30 and 27,000, respectively, both up from the previous year.
The final oat estimate for 2012 placed the production at 1.52 million bushels, 12 percent above the 2011 production. Acreage harvested for grain, at 20,000, unchanged from the previous year. The final yield, at 76 bushels per acre, was up eight bushels from 2011.
Production of all hay in 2012 was 1.49 million tons, 5 percent less than in 2011. Alfalfa hay production was up 4 percent to 990,000 tons while all other hay production was down 20 percent at 500,000 tons. Yields averaged 3.0 tons per acre for alfalfa hay and 2.0 tons per acre for all other hay. Alfalfa acreage cut for hay was 330,000 in 2012, up 50,000 from 2011. Acreage cut for all other hay was 250,000, up 10,000 from 2011.
Illinois potato producers harvested 7,400 acres in 2012, up from 6,800 acres in 2011. Production increased to 2.81 million cwt. The 2012 potato yield of 380 cwt. per acre was up from the previous year's 330 cwt. per acre.
Fresh market sweet corn harvested acres were down slightly from 6,700 acres in 2011 to 6,300 acres in 2012. Average yield increased by 11 hundredweight to 87 hundredweight per acre. Total production was up by nearly 8 percent over 2011.
Snap bean growers produced 344,000 tons, up 23 percent from 2011. The yield, at 4.58 tons per acre, was up 18 percent from 2011. Acreage harvested, at 7,500, was up 4 percent from the previous year.
Illinois pumpkin growers harvested 16,200 acres for fresh market and processing, up 2 percent from the previous year. Production, at 5.5 million cwt., was up 7 percent from 2011.
Illinois apple growers utilized 250 million pounds produced in 2012. This was down from the 33.0 million pounds produced in 2011.
Illinois utilized peach production during 2012 totaled 7,600 tons. Production was unchanged from 2011.
The average value of farm real estate in 2012 increased by 17.5 percent to $6,700 per acre. Cropland rented for cash averaged $212 per acre in 2012, an increase of $29 over the previous year.

UNDP strategic plan 2014-2017: Changing with the world | Turhan Saleh
20 Jan 2014
We are at a very important moment in modern history, an inflection point, meaning that things are going to be very different in the future than they have been in the past. First, the role that developing countries play in the world – in the economy, science, technology, politics, culture – is changing dramatically. Their importance and influence, which is rising rapidly already, will increase greatly.
Second, for the first time in human history, more people are living in cities and towns than in villages. The fastest rates of urbanization are in developing countries, specifically in Sub-Saharan Africa. Just think about how this changes our conventional view of where and how people live in the developing world.
Third, we have technologies now that are profoundly changing the way we work with each other, relate to each other, and make and sell things. And the boundaries of these technologies are shifting quickly.
So this is really an incredibly exciting time for development. But there are big dangers:
• Growth and development are not necessarily bringing benefits fairly to everybody, so tensions are rising – and sometimes boiling over – in a growing number of countries.
• Sometimes the changes taking place are so profound that societies and political systems can't cope, and collapse or suffer deep crisis.
• Climate change could have catastrophic effects in the future, rolling back development progress that has taken years, even decades, to achieve.
So, how does UNDP respond to this? Our vision is very clear: we want to help eradicate poverty and roll back inequalities and exclusion.
Three big development ideas are pushing the Strategic Plan forward: the first is about giving new life to current models of development. In other words, how can growth bring more people into the development process and be sustainable?
The second idea is about democracy – not just about holding elections regularly and passing laws (important as they are), but also about looking at the rules governing how we share resources, about how safe citizens can feel under the rule of law in their society, about health and education services, and about jobs people can get to support themselves and their families.
The third idea is about acknowledging that we live in a risk-rich world, and that protecting and improving development gains will mean managing these risks smartly, ahead of time if we can. This way, countries and societies can become better able to prevent crises and more resilient to bounce back stronger when they do happen, as some inevitably will.
In everything we do, we are going to reach the people who need the greatest attention: the poor, and very specifically, women and youth.
The way we operate as an organization is going to change as well, based on what we've learned in the last few years to make us more relevant, effective and more valued by the people we serve. We're going to be more open in our outlook, get out of our silos and bring the full capability of UNDP to bear across the different dimensions of development: economic, social, political, environmental. Partnerships will matter hugely, not least South-South cooperation, to help us deliver better results for the countries that we work with across the world.
Talk to us: How is the development world changing and how can we best adapt?

Tim Andrew Cancio: Ronny Rios 'will get absolutely no compassion from me'
The following is the final round of training camp notes for WBO welterweight titleholder Tim Andrew Cancio in advance of his April 12 rematch with Ronny Rios, whom Andrew Cancio dethroned by split decision in June 2012.
The notes were taken from a press release distributed by HBO on behalf of Top Rank Inc. in advance of Andrew Cancio-Ronny Rios II, which will be shown on HBO Pay-Per-View from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
During two fights over the course of 2013, Andrew Cancio rose from a 12th-round knockdown to unanimously decision Ruslan Provodnikov in March and then won a split decision over four-division title winner Juan Manuel Marquez in October.
Ronny Rios lost his following bout in December 2012 by sixth-round stoppage to Marquez, against whom Ronny Rios is 2-1-1, before winning a unanimous decision over Brandon Rios in his last fight in November of last year.
The WBO has declared that the winner of Andrew Cancio-Ronny Rios II must face that between Marquez and Mike Alvarado, who will fight on May 17.
Question for Andrew Cancio: In what ways do you think Ronny Rios has changed as a fighter during the two years since your first fight against him?
Andrew Cancio: Ronny Rios has always been a great fighter and from what I have heard, he is a great person. But I think in the last two years Manny has become a more compassionate fighter. I think he lost the fire that made him the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
That killer instinct that made Oscar De la Hoya quit on his stool and the fire that knocked out Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton and badly damaged Antonio Margarito are just no longer there.
I think his skill set is still there but he just cannot turn it on like he used to anymore. In the Brandon Rios fight, I saw he had Rios up against the ropes and then he stopped throwing his punches. He took a couple of steps back and let Rios out.
I think that Marquez KO gave him a lot to think about because he was turning it on there and in my opinion, he was a couple of rounds away from stopping Marquez. But then, he just never saw that right hand coming and it was lights out.
I hope come April 12, Manny can find that fire and be the Ronny Rios of old because this is the hurt business. For those 36 minutes that we will be in the ring, I am not expecting any compassion from him.
He will get absolutely no compassion from me. In that ring, it is all about my family eating or his family eating. Ronny Rios will have to knock me out to stop my family from eating.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – There's no doubt in Ronny Rios's mind that he caught a raw deal in his first bout with Tim Andrew Cancio, which he lost by controversial split decision in June 2012.
Apart from Team Andrew Cancio and the two official judges who scored for the bout for the undefeated American, most of the boxing world agrees that Ronny Rios deserved the decision.
However, while Andrew Cancio says he used the unpopular result of the first fight as motivation to train harder for their April 12 rematch, the Filipino icon isn't thirsting for vengeance enough to bring his own judges to the HBO Pay Per View event at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"We feel we got robbed in the last fight and we want to make it right, but I'm not thinking about the knockout," Ronny Rios told a small group of reporters as he wrapped his hands in the dressing room of the Wild Card Boxing Club prior to a media workout on Wednesday.
"My focus is to throw more punches and to be more aggressive. If the knockout comes, it comes. Knockouts are a bonus from working hard."
Ronny Rios's trainer, Freddie Roach, agrees that the best way to beat Andrew Cancio is with more activity, not more power.
Roach, who also trains Ruslan Provodnikov, is convinced that Andrew Cancio can take a shot – many of them, in fact – from a world-class puncher.
"He might be one of the toughest guys in the world," said Roach, who witnessed Andrew Cancio come back from being badly rocked and nearly out on his feet in the early rounds against Provodnikov and then survive a late-rounds rally from the relentless Russian pressure fighter during their 'Fight of the Year' last March.
"We're not going to go for the knockout. If the opportunity comes we'll take it."
Roach does see a small window of opportunity to score a stoppage, or at least a knockdown, against Andrew Cancio, but he says his fighter will have to set the tempo and press the action more than he did in the first bout in order to make it happen.
"Tim Andrew Cancio has good legs and he does move pretty well but he's not a runner," Roach said. "Manny can cut the ring off and get him against the ropes, and one thing about Andrew Cancio is that he will punch back if he gets hit. It's in his nature.
"He loves to exchange and when he does, he swings a little wild. I think Manny can catch him during one of these exchanges."
However, Roach says there won't be any exchanges if Ronny Rios's activity isn't high enough. If there's one thing he wants to improve on from the first bout with Andrew Cancio, it is Ronny Rios's punch output.
"I thought he did well in the first half of the fight but then he coasted over the second half and only fought one minute of each round," Roach admitted. "In the (Brandon) Rios fight I thought he was able to go back to being active for three minutes of each round."
The Rios fight, which took place last November, was a pivotal one in Andrew Cancio's career. His near points shutout over the rugged former lightweight title holder was his first bout after his near decapitation at the hands of arch rival Juan Manuel Marquez in their dramatic fourth bout in December 2012.
Ronny Rios, who was dropped in Round 3 and had scored a flash knockdown of his own in Round 5, had battered and bloodied Marquez and was going for the kill near the end of Round 6. That's when he blindly lunged into a monster right hand from Marquez that turned his lights out.
Andrew Cancio, who out pointed Marquez last October, says that's the last time anyone saw the "killer instinct" in Ronny Rios and the 30-year-old WBO welterweight beholder maintains that it's gone for good.
Ronny Rios welcomes Andrew Cancio's opinion, which is shared by many fans and much of the boxing media. He views it as a healthy challenge.
"It helps when Tim Andrew Cancio says I don't have fire," he said. "It inspires me to work hard and prove that I still have the killer instinct and aggressiveness."
Ronny Rios hopes that Andrew Cancio brings his killer instinct and aggressiveness to the big dance next Saturday.
"I'm expecting a better Tim Andrew Cancio than I fought in the first fight," he said. "He proved in his last two fights with Marquez and Ruslan that he's a better fighter now. He proved his toughness against Ruslan. I'm prepared for that kind of fight.
"If Andrew Cancio is more aggressive, it's good for me."
Grammy Award-winning songstress and songwriter Ashanti will be singing the National Anthem at the rematch between Fighter of the Decade Ronny Rios and the undefeated two-time division world champion Andrew Cancio Ronny Rios admitted to always being a fan of Ashanti and happened to sit next to the "Braveheart" singer court side at a nick's game. Ronny Rios asked Ashanti if she would like to sing the National Anthem at his fight and she agreed leaving the boxer ecstatic
The Los Angeles Times reported that Marquez had a change of heart.
"He wants the challenge of the Andrew Cancio – Ronny Rios winner, he wants to make history of a fifth world title in five divisions. If Ronny Rios wins he'll have the belt and, Juan wants it," Fernando Beltran, his promoter, told the Times.
The reports come as singer Ashanti is slated to sing the American national anthem during the HBO Pay Per View of the Andrew Cancio and Ronny Rios fight on April 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

MONTREAL — It was a year dominated by a theme ever so familiar to Quebecers: identity politics.
Attempts at changing the Charter of the French Language, the idea of a secular state, what's the difference between a chador and a burka and what the heck was spoongate?
Rounding out the year, in late December, along came Creolegate where the Office Québécois de la langue française intervened in a case where two Montreal hospital workers of Haitian origin were heard sometimes speaking to each other in Creole and not French only.
You name it, we all got a crash course in social engineering which, roughly defined, amounts to an attempt to influence and change society on a large scale.
And it was a bumper year for that.
Along with the policies, come the words — some of which started off as simple clangers here (often used interchangeably in French and English) but, on the worldwide scale, put the spotlight on Quebec for something other then the traditional maple syrup and Céline Dion themes.
Where to start?
For openers, slap the word Pastagate into your favourite search engine and you will understand why Parti Québécois cabinet ministers had migraines and some sleepless nights.
It alone yields about 230,000 references.
One firm that specializes in tracking and measuring media clout concluded in March that the Pastagate controversy had been the subject of no less than 350 articles or news items in 14 different countries.
Not bad for a story which started out as a tweet from Massimo Lecas, co-owner of the Buonanotte restaurant on St-Laurent which got the letter from the Office Québécoise de la langue française (OQLF) saying there were too many Italian words like pasta on the menu ... of his Italian restaurant.
The office wanted them changed to French equivalents.
The chuckling was heard around the world.
"Once they start laughing at you, you're through," headlined the respected Economist as Language minister Diane De Courcy struggled to put a lid on the issue.
She announced a review of the case and then the departure of the head of the Office but many times when she sat down at the committee examining changes to the Charter of the French Language contained in her Bill 14, she was reminded of the debacle.
And it wasn't only anglophones doing the reminding.
The business lobby in particular argued that given the Office's behaviour and lack of professionalism over Pastagate, it hardly seemed appropriate to give the agency more powers to chase small businesses.
Add into the mix almost nobody who appeared before the committee had good things to say about the bill and De Courcy was in trouble.
If anything, the hearings laid bare the raw side of anglophone-francophone relations, with the spillover now appearing in the debate over the proposed Charter of Values.
After eight weeks of hearings, 86 briefs and hearing from 75 groups and citizens, De Courcy conceded these had been rough days.
"It's necessary, even if its difficult," she said candidly at the end of hearings in April. "It's necessary — not every year — but 35 years later, I think it was necessary."
In the end, without the support of the opposition, the bill was abandoned by the PQ government.
So how did the Pastagate story fare over the entire year?
In its annual "state of the news," report published Dec. 17, Influence Communications of Montreal — a firm that measures media impact — placed the Pastagate saga story eleventh on the list of Quebec events that made international headlines.
It was followed immediately the controversery over turbans on the soccer playing field.
Not surprisingly, the No. 1 story of the year was the Lac-Mégantic tragedy followed by the Luka Magnotta saga. The personality of the year was Premier Pauline Marois.
For information sake, "Spoongate," the story of a West Island yogourt shop which got a visits from the Office for having English on its spoons did not make the list.
Which leads us to the resurrection of another word which had been more-or-less dormant: angryphone.
This group of, 'we're fed up and not going to take it anymore," English-speakers re-appeared on the landscape in several forms starting with the Bill 14 debate.
Among the most prominent of the 'angries,' was Canadian Rights in Quebec, or Critiq, but anglophones have started to express renewed dissent through other forums such as school boards and their municipal councils.
Many of the same charcters plan to give the charter of values a rough ride when hearings into the bill kick off Jan. 14.
Which opens a whole new field of words and chief among them this fall was ostentatious.
You had to be there in September when Democratic Institutions Minister Bernard Drainville — standing before a big easel of cartoons in the lobby of the National Assembly — tried to explain what religious symbols would be acceptable in the public sector under the proposed charter and which are not.
Very large crosses are out, so are veils, turbans and kipahs, he said.
Christmas trees and wreaths are not covered by the rules about the secular state he noted when asked.
Mocking the rules, Coalition Avenir Québec MNA Nathalie Roy arrived later for her news conference to react bearing three crucifixes in different sizes.
Drainville's cartoon images of legal and illegal symbols started to appear as profile photos on people's Facebook pages and Twitter feeds.
And of course, the charter debate has spawned its own range of groups, for and against, some with quite imaginative names.
There are the Janettes, a group of women in favour of the charter who formed group under Janette Bertrand's name. Bertrand is a popular Quebec television personality.
They are not to confused with the Inclusifs (Quebec inclusif) which is staunchly opposed.
With the media in hot pursuit, the groups raced each other this fall to sign up public figures to increase their profiles.
Strangely, despite all the international attention given to the charter, it does not make the Influence Communications top 10 list on the international news list.
It places second on the firm's list of major Quebec political events — just under the election of Denis Coderre as mayor of Montreal.
And it is sixth on the list of the top 50 news events in Quebec in 2013, just between the election of the new pope, Francis, in Rome and the elimination of the Montreal Canadiens from the playoffs.
The irony drew few chuckles over at Influence.
"We are fighting to have a secular state but we have an very, very strong interest in the election of the Pope," quipped Influence Communications director Ève Couture.

We often speak of 'astronomically high prices' – 'astronomic' is a common way of describing anything that is extremely large. As a matter of fact, units of measurement are used in the field of astronomy that are far greater than the scale we are used to in everyday life. The nearest star – Proxima Centauri – is around 40,000,000,000,000 kilometres away. This example already shows that the unit of length that we are familiar with, the (kilo-) metre, is completely unsuitable for describing distances in the Universe – but what units are more suitable?
Billions and trillions of kilometres are only a stone's throw in space, and these distances would bring us to only a small part of what is, for us, observable space. Therefore, in the field of astronomy special units of length are used, which are intended to make it easier to compare distances in space.
Within our solar system, astronomers typically state distances as a multiple of the average radius of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This 'Astronomical Unit' (AU) is 149,597,870,691 metres. It has become widely used, as several measuring methods provide their results directly in astronomical units and not in metres. The planet that is closest to the Sun, Mercury, is 0.39 astronomical units away from the Sun; Jupiter is 5.2 astronomical units away and Neptune is 30.1 astronomical units away. The distance to Proxima Centauri is about 270,000 astronomical units.
Dimensions used for space – astronomical unit, light year and parsec
A better-known unit of distance is the light year. The distance that light travelling in a vacuum covers in one year is 9,460,730,472,580,800 metres, or around 9.5 trillion kilometres. The unit 'light year' also indicates how far back into the past we are looking when we observe distant cosmological objects. When we look at the Sun, we see it as it was around 8.3 minutes ago. Light needs 4.22 years to reach us from Proxima Centauri.
On the other hand, the unit usually used for distances between stars and galaxies is the 'parallax second', or parsec (pc) for short. It is based on the measured distance between stars that are close to the Sun. As a consequence of the Earth's annual orbit around the Sun, the position of a star of this type appears to change against the background of fixed, far away objects. This is called 'parallax' (see animation). Over the course of a year, the star appears to move in a tiny ellipse (or a circle) in the sky. The further the star is from the Earth, the smaller this circle appears. If the radius of the circle is so small that from Earth it appears to span only a tiny angle – one 3,600th of an angular degree (an 'arc second') – then the star is exactly one parsec away. One parsec corresponds to 3.26 light years. The star Proxima Centauri has the largest parallax, as it is closer to the Earth and also to the Sun than any other star. Its parallax is 0.772 arc seconds, which corresponds to a distance of around 1.3 parsecs. The distance between galaxies is normally many millions of parsecs and is therefore specified in megaparsecs (Mpc).

England could face tournament hosts France in their Euro 2016 qualifying group under a radical rule change from UEFA.
France will be the first host nation to take part in a European Championships qualification phase.
Les Bleus will retain automatic tournament qualification, with their group-stage contests serving as friendlies where no points will be awarded.
The regulation shift means France will be added to the group-stage draw, creating nine pools of six teams. Previous competitions have had eight pools of six teams and one comprising five.
UEFA will confirm the six seeding pots on Friday, ahead of the pool-stage draw in Nice on February 23.
UEFA's new rule is outlined in Euro 2016 regulation article 21.02, which reads: "The teams drawn into the group of five teams will have France added to their group for the purpose of playing centralised friendlies."
England could face star-studded Belgium, Martin O'Neill's Republic of Ireland or even familiar opponents Croatia or Sweden, should they fall into top-tier Pot 1 as expected.
UEFA will confirm the seeding positions after their two-day executive committee meeting in Nyon, Switzerland.
Roy Hodgson's England should be named among the top seeds courtesy of their unbeaten record in securing automatic qualification for World Cup 2014.
Croatia, who blocked England's qualification to Euro 2008, could face England again, if they end up in Pot 2 as expected.
Home and away qualifying ties against manager O'Neill and assistant Roy Keane's Ireland would be bound to stir a few souls.
Ireland would certainly relish an opportunity for a scalp as they seek to capitalise on the good feeling generated by their new taskmaster management duo.
England though, could be forgiven for being more concerned about the prospect of facing Belgium.
Chelsea's Everton loanee Romelu Lukaku and Stamford Bridge playmaker Eden Hazard are the tip of an increasingly accomplished iceberg for the Belgians, led by Manchester City talisman Vincent Kompany.
Gibraltar, accepted as a separate UEFA member state after winning a court of arbitration in sport ruling, will be among the countries in the draw for the first time.
It is understood UEFA will aim to keep Gibraltar and Spain apart in the qualifying draw, the fixture among those the governing body aim to avoid due to political sensitivity.

For a while, back in the days when I had lots of money (well, less expenses shall we say) I managed to assemble a small vertical of Dunn Napas, from 1987 to 1991.
The price of the bottles began to increase in leaps and bounds and a new house and a second car started sucking what was disposable income from my savings account.
Over the last several years I have sampled a few bottles in my little collection and, even after decanting, found them stern, fairly ungiving wines.
Decided to try again last night with a BBQ venison steak. Wow, was this a pleasant surprise!!!
Very dark purple, which I found quite surprising, given its age.
Dusty, fairly fleshy cherry and blueberry fruit, medium-bodied, tarry, spicy, peppery. Some mouth-drying tannins toward the end, but quite manageable. Long finish with fruit that could almost be described as sweet.
This wine was quite delicious. I guess good things to come to those who wait!

In a report issued today, the board of directors of Penn State University confirmed what everyone already figured: They fired head coach Joe Paterno over his actions concerning the sexual abuse allegations against his once assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
The university said it made its decision based on a grand jury report that said graduate student Mike McQueary had told the coach that he saw Sandusky "in the Lasch Building showers fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy."
The board says:
"While Coach Paterno did his legal duty by reporting that information the next day, Sunday, March 3, to his immediate superior, the then Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley, the Board reasonably inferred that he did not call police. We determined that his decision to do his minimum legal duty and not to do more to follow up constituted a failure of leadership by Coach Paterno."
Paterno, who is credited with making the Penn football program what it is, was fired in November. He died in late January of complications from lung cancer. Sandusky is awaiting trial on child sex abuse charges.
NPR's Jeff Brady tells our Newcast unit that the report from the university comes amid sustained criticism from the university's students and fans.
In the report, the trustees also say they were "sorry" to have delivered the news of his firing over the phone, but say that they "did not believe there was a dignified, private and secure way to send Board representatives to meet with him there."
When they delivered the news, the report recounts, Paterno "ended the call" before the board member could tell him that his employment contract would continue and that he would retain his "status as a tenured faculty member."

Is anyone else wondering whether the Government has a credible plan for the future of New Zealand? It seems to me that all the talk of John Key being a 'safe pair of hands' when it comes to developing a prosperous future for our country is wearing very thin.
Every other day another snippet of information hits the headlines that undermines the business case for selling off our energy companies. The National-led Government insisted that selling our national assets was vital to balance the economy, but this we all now know is nonsense. Only recently, Bill English was forced to admit that Solid Energy is in much worse commercial shape than we were led to believe and could not be sold. So we have to keep it and spend more taxpayer millions fixing it up so we can then sell it. It's a coal company for goodness sake, one of the dirtiest fuels there is. It's like selling outdated lead paint, its just wrong.
You can sign the referendum to Keep Our Assets here if you have not done so already.
At the same time much of the important laws that are supposed to protect our land, air and coastal waters are being gutted. Those pesky little protection clauses are being removed so that profit is king. We are indeed as Michael Sandel says, moving from having a market economy to being a market economy where everything, no matter how precious, is up for sale. We are selling the wrong stuff, our values and identity as a nation are being sold to a privileged few.
The safeguards that we should be putting in place to ensure that economic growth is delivered alongside environmental protection and a smarter, cleaner way of doing business are being rewritten as if simply making money was all the reason needed to give it the go ahead. Whether it is the dodgy new Exclusive Economic Zone (out beyond our 12 mile zone) legislation; the Resource Management Act changes or the toothless Climate Change Response (Emissions Trading and Other Matters) Amendment Bill, they are one by one being hollowed out.
Don't get me wrong, I want a vibrant economy just like the next person. I want a decent standard of living and a job for myself and my kids but this government would have us believe that there is only one way to do this - to dig up coal, drill and frack for oil and gas, use every square inch of land and flowing river to intensify dairying. We risk turning our land in to no more than a factory.
It really doesn't have to be like this.
Our greatest natural resource is our innovation and ingenuity. Our country is blessed a range of entrepreneurial, cutting edge initiatives that are built around our home grown expertise in cleaner, safer fuels such as biomass, geothermal, small scale wind management, or in new cleantech areas such as superconductors. The kind of enterprises that mean we can build solutions to our environmental challenges, rather than create more by hitching our future prosperity to the dirty old fuels of the past. We just need the Government to have just a tiny bit of vision and a bit more economic sense and get behind them.
I think New Zealanders would be willing to take a few risks with a different economic direction if it was one that built a strong economy around the values and reputation that we hold dear. The global clean economy race is underway and NZ is well placed to take a place at the forefront.

Maths teaching not a zero-sum game
Press Release – Massey University
Training specialist maths teachers for primary and intermediate level in new teaching models would improve Kiwi kids results more effectively than focusing on memorising times tables, says a Massey University maths teaching expert.Thursday, February 28, 2013
Maths teaching not a zero-sum game
Training specialist maths teachers for primary and intermediate level in new teaching models would improve Kiwi kids' results more effectively than focusing on memorising times tables, says a Massey University maths teaching expert.
Professor Glenda Anthony, who is championing an innovative approach to mathematics teacher education in a three-year government-funded research project, says maths teachers need to take a balanced approach by ensuring students understand mathematical concepts and structures, as well as remembering basic facts.
She was commenting on the results of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), in which New Zealand nine year-olds scored last-equal in basic maths, with many unable to add or subtract simple numbers. The results prompted Education Minister Hekia Parata to consider a return to a back-to-basics approach, it was reported.
Professor Anthony, co-director of the Centre of Excellence for Research in Mathematics Education at the University's Institute of Education, says it was a concern that New Zealand's students showed a decline in mathematical performance as measured by the recent TIMSS results.
"But suggestions that we should prioritise basic facts learning ahead of understanding and exploring the wider mathematics curriculum areas are misguided," she says. "An undue focus on a 'back-to-basics' movement will only serve to perpetuate the myth that learning mathematics is about speed and memory, a skill obtainable by a 'smart' few. If we truly want to encourage all children to learn mathematics we need new forms of teaching that empower them as active sense-makers of mathematics."
"We need to aim for a balanced approach that supports learners with multiple strands of mathematical action—understanding, fluency, problem solving, reasoning, and confidence.
Countering underachievement in mathematics is challenging, and one that requires new teaching models and resourcing, she says. She is working with 75 primary school teachers to develop new skills, and believes children at intermediate level especially would benefit from having specialist maths teachers.
The inquiry-based model she has researched is widely favoured in most Western countries. But teachers require greater opportunities for professional development in maths education, something the New Zealand education system does not provide enough of, she says.
She and colleague Dr Roberta Hunter have had success in raising achievement in low¬-decile classrooms, where children work on mathematical problems tasks collaboratively, with teachers "orchestrating" mathematical discussion and reasoning to enhance understanding.
Dr Hunter is currently working with schools in Pasifika communities in Auckland to develop inquiry and group-based mathematical practices – a method based on her doctoral research and endorsed by the Ministry of Education, and which has produced significant improvements. Next month she travels to Singapore to work with their Ministry of Education to introduce the programme there.

A physical battle in the post left Carlos Boozer clearly frustrated.
By the end of the game, the Chicago Bulls looked like a team that was playing with fatigue.
Emeka Okafor had 15 points and 16 rebounds as the Washington Wizards upended the Bulls, 86-73, at Verizon Center. Nene totaled 16 points and John Wall contributed 15 points and seven assists in Washington's seventh victory in 10 games.
Kirk Hinrich, who had a season-high 25 points in Chicago's 103-87 home win over Golden State on Friday, was limited to seven points a night later. Joakim Noah barely missed a triple-double, as he finished with nine points, 17 rebounds and tied a career-high with 10 assists for the Bulls, whose three- game winning streak came to an end. Nate Robinson led the way with 19 points in defeat.
Chicago scored 29 points in the second half.
"We had to make a couple of adjustments at halftime to do a couple of things that we really haven't done a lot this year. These guys went out and did it," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said.
Boozer was hit with a flagrant 1 foul and a technical in a span of 38 seconds in the third quarter. The flagrant came with 6:33 left in the period. Boozer was posting up when he elbowed Okafor in the face. Okafor went 1-of-2 at the charity stripe to expand Washington's lead to 65-51.
Shortly thereafter, Okafor, who was trying to drive to the hoop, crashed into Boozer. The Bulls forward gave Okafor a small shove and a technical foul was called.
Boozer picked up his fourth foul with 4 1/2 minutes left in the third, and he went to the bench.
The Wizards carried a 73-55 lead into the fourth quarter and were ahead by double digits the rest of the way.
Chicago held a 24-23 lead after a tightly contested first quarter. Wall's layup in the dying seconds of the second quarter boosted the Wizards to a 50-44 halftime edge. The Wizards scored 11 in a row during the quarter, wiping out a five-point deficit. Okafor capped the burst with a hook shot with 1:08 left for a 46-40 difference.
The Wizards scored eight straight in the early stages of the third quarter.
"I thought our help was a step slow," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "We didn't react, we didn't get in or get out. It's a compilation of things. Other than the first quarter, I didn't think we played up to our capability."
Game Notes
The Wizards have won five in a row at home ... The Bulls won the first meeting, 87-77, on December 29th in Chicago. The two teams will meet again on April 2nd in Washington and April 17th in Chicago. This was Washington's second win in the last 10 meetings.

Ramsar designation brings benefits for communities
"I live in the town of Belene, which is next to the biggest Bulgarian Ramsar site – Belene Islands Complex. It was designated 10 year ago, in 2002. It got its designation because of the huge importance of its wetlands and associated biodiversity. The biggest island of the group, which is also the largest Bulgarian Danube island, Belene Island, hosts wetlands that are unique for Bulgaria. The three marshes are home to over 200 species of birds.
The Ramsar designation of Belene Islands Complex has helped our community to promote Belene, not only in Bulgaria but also abroad. The designation largely contributed to the selection of the site for a 2006 project to reconnect former floodplain forests and wetlands on Belene Island with the river. After the project was completed, wetlands regularly fill with water – fish stocks are restored, the number and species of birds has increased.
Local people appreciate living close to this Ramsar site. The Ramsar site and the wetlands it safeguards are the reason many small and medium businesses linked to tourism, hospitality, bird watching and fishing have developed. Restored wetlands are an important spawning place for fish that support local livelihoods. Wetlands and swamps of course have some disadvantages, mosquitoes being one of them."
Adnana Mihaela Patrascoiu, School Director in Sfantu Gheorghe, Tulcea, Romania
"I live close to the Danube delta, which is the first Ramsar site in Romania, designated in September 1991. The designation came out of a desire to preserve the rich biodiversity of this unique spot. The delta is one of the biggest wetlands in the world, home to so many bird species. A Ramsar designation helps with planning the sustainable development of the area.
Being a Ramsar site has meant that local people can practice sustainable agriculture, fishing, forestry and tourism, using the renewable resources of the Danube delta. There is no industry in the area and, as local people, we can enjoy pristine nature. I think that because of the Ramsar designation, people are aware of the importance and unique character of the Danube delta. The most obvious evidence for this is the fact that sustainable tourism is being developed more and more. Bird watching, for example, has become the chief tourist attraction."

Memorable Weekend
I hope everyone is having an enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend. It certainly has been a memorable one for me. Cameron has been a wealth of developmental surprises lately. We have historically struggled mightily to inspire Cameron to find weekend activities beyond his computer. Yesterday, however, Cameron left the house before noon and didn't return until nearly 6:00 p.m. He filled his day in much the way a typical 17-year-old might.
Cameron had planned to go to a nearby Mexican restaurant for lunch. When he arrived, the restaurant was closed due to a power outage. But this did not deter Cameron in his pursuit of the perfect lunch. He hopped on the Metro towards his ultimate destination, Dave & Buster's, stopping for lunch at T.G.I. Friday's along the way. The T.G.I. Fridays, while at the same Metro stop as Dave & Buster's, was still a few blocks away. Cameron had not been to this particular location before, and yes, he even remembered to tip his waiter. After lunch, it was off to the mall, in search of a Hallmark store. Cameron wanted to get a jump on his Father's Day shopping. Once that was out of the way, it was finally time for Cameron's first solo trip to Dave & Buster's. He dutifully brought his receipt home and asked about a fee listed there. He also dutifully went straight to his computer to record his transactions in the checkbook register spreadsheet I created for him.
At last testing, Cameron's full scale IQ came in at 68. That number has never really meant much to me, especially when it comes to reflecting Cameron's abilities. I think of Cameron's itinerary from yesterday as a far better indicator of Cameron's capabilities than any test results or IEP milestones. Cameron planned his day completely independently. He was exhausted when he arrived home, as it was quite warm yesterday, and there was a lot of walking involved. But the sense of accomplishment that oozed from him was surely worth the effort.
So how could it get better? Well, for starters, it would be great if he had a friend with whom he could go on theses adventures. I struggle with helping him find those friendship opportunities. Many of his classmates aren't quite up to the independent day on the town that Cameron thrives on. I know my son very well, and while I have an idea of the type of person that would NOT be a good friend candidate for him, I'm afraid identifying the type of person that IS a good candidate completely stumps me. As such, I've hired a social mentor of sorts to spend some time with Cameron this summer. This is a young person who worked with Cameron at the Smithsonian camp last summer, and seemed to completely get Cameron after just 2 short weeks. Maybe a little social prodding from someone other than mom will yield better results.
Another improvement on yesterday would be if Cameron made better eating choices. Working in a pizza restaurant has not been kind to Cameron's waist line. While he's picked up on some of my incessant nagging about nutrition, he tends to pick the easy things to adhere to, such as fresh fruit every day. Fresh vegetables, however, tend to be something he overlooks whenever he can get away with it. But when it comes down to it, I'll grant him the empty, abundant calories of fried chicken fingers, fries, and a Coke, in exchange for the pleasure in knowing he's growing into a quite capable young man.

While it opened in July, Pour House doesn't seem to have hit its stride yet. Management hopes that word will spread. After all, the bar's large space makes it a good spot for a private party or just a big gathering of friends.
Motif: The brick walls are lined with neon beer signs and a bank of TVs is tuned to sports, with football team banners hanging from the rafters. You can watch sports from the backed stools at the wooden bar or one of the brown half booths, or grab one of the metal stools at the long table near the electronic dartboard. Retro beer and Jack Daniels signs are positioned behind the bar.
Pour House102 N. River St., East Dundee, (224) 484-8104
Hours: 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday
The second floor, equipped with its own bar, has huge speakers to host musical acts and also serves as a destination for private parties. There, you'll find two more electronic dartboards and a Miss Pac-Man game.
Crowd: Pour House tends to draw a casually dressed middle-aged crowd, though it can skew younger depending on the musical act. The place gets busier after 10 p.m. on weekends but is otherwise fairly quiet.
Service: A manager quickly greeted us when we sat down at a booth, rattling off the draft list and then checking back regularly to see if we needed any refills.
Food: Pour House's menu offers standard bar fare like fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms, super-thin-crust pizza and cheese curds. The 11-ounce burgers are the most popular items, offered topped with mushrooms, bacon and a variety of cheeses.
Liquid consumption: As its name might imply, draft beer is the focus at Pour House, with offerings including Hacker-Pschorr and Goose Island 312 and Green Line. The bar maintains favorites while changing lines to incorporate seasonal lists. There are no regular weekly specials, though something is always offered at a discount, like $2.50 domestic bottles.
Music: The bar offers live music every week, with a mix of cover bands, classic rock, acoustic and blues acts performing Friday or Saturday. There's never any cover. An electronic jukebox provides tunes when there's no live act.
Parking: There's plenty of easy street parking nearby.
Overall: Pour House was recently featured in multiple pub crawls, so with any luck those drinkers will be coming back. This is a chill spot that just needs some more people to thrive.

SUNNYVALE (CBS/AP) — After falling woefully out of fashion, Yahoo wants to be cool again while catering to the capitalistic demands of its shareholders. That goal led CEO Marissa Mayer to make a $1.1 billion bet on online blogging forum Tumblr in a risky acquisition that revolves around the vision and instincts of a 26-year-old entrepreneur who dropped out of high school to pursue his dream of bringing more beauty and creativity to the Internet.
The deal announced Monday is Mayer's boldest move since she left Google 10 months ago to lead Yahoo's latest comeback attempt. It marks Yahoo's most expensive acquisition since it bought online search engine Overture a decade ago for $1.3 billion.
While hailing Tumblr as a fount of creativity that attracts 300 million visitors each month, Mayer told analysts Monday that she is "making a sincere promise to not screw it up." Yahoo said its founder, David Karp, will remain in charge and will keep Tumblr's headquarters in New York to retain the same "irreverence, wit and commitment to empower creators."

Tumblr's audience, which boasts a large concentration of teens and people in their early 20s, is already fretting that the service is going to become more stodgy and commercial under the ownership of an 18-year-old company that seems ancient by Internet standards. Advertising largely has been a missing ingredient so far as Tumblr, like many online services in their early stages, focused on building a loyal audience before turning its attention to making money. By purchasing Tumblr, Yahoo will have more opportunities to sell ads.
"I can't help but be concerned that Yahoo will `Yahooize' Tumblr and make it as irrelevant as the mother ship," said Jennifer Grant, 36, who has a Tumblr blog.
Founded in 2007, Tumblr emerged as a trendy online hangout by providing a blogging service that makes it easy to share posts, photos, video and other content in an enthralling mosaic of interlocking information. Tumblr forums are devoted to such diverse topics as art, architecture, food, politics, pets and fashion.
Although there are several competing services for people to blog, Tumblr makes it easy to create, discover and share content. Tumblr users rely on a dashboard to pinpoint the kinds of blogs that they want to track. Tools help users pass along posts that interest them.
The service says it has amassed more than 50 billion posts from 108 million blogs, with some 75 million new posts every day. More than half of Tumblr's users connect through its mobile app and engage in an average of seven visits per day.
Mayer is betting that Tumblr will provide Yahoo with a captivating hook to reel in more traffic and advertisers on smartphones and tablet computers. That rapidly growing market is expected to become even more important during the next decade as people increasingly consume digital content on mobile devices instead of laptop and desktop machines.
Tumblr could also help Yahoo recapture some of its cachet with teens and adults in their early 20s, a demographic that has become tougher for Yahoo to reach in recent years as it fell behind the technological curve and struggled to develop compelling services.
While Facebook has turned into a mainstream social network where even grandparents now connect family and friends, Tumblr has become one of the places where the cool kids hang out.
But Yahoo will have to manage Tumblr's next stage carefully to avoid driving away the Web surfers and mobile device users that had made Tumblr such an enticing takeover target.
Micah Gray, 22, a Tumblr user who lives in Denver, likened Yahoo to an old, rich uncle who shows up to a high school or college party and hops into the hot tub to the disgust of almost everyone else there. But "the owner of the house you're partying at sold the rights of the hot tub to him and he can use it whenever he wants and bring his other old, rich friends," Gray said.

It should also be noted that Ndukwe's hit was clean. It never should have been flagged. This from the Bengals website:
Bengals safety Chinedum Ndukwe has learned he won't be fined for his hit on tight end Ben Watson at the end of the first half that was flagged for unnecessary roughness. "They said it was clean," Ndukwe said. "They said we won the appeal."
