|The birds and the bees will get an early start this year, as they, too, warm to the suddenly clement weather. The emergence of mosquitos, ticks, ants, ladybugs, and termites in the unseasonably good weather may cause some problems, however, as critters awakening from their winter rest come out to find that the flowers and plants they feed on may not have bloomed yet. In areas of the country where there was little snow and rain, spring flowers may not produce enough nectar to support suddenly active colonies of bees, causing them to rely on depleted stores of honey, pollen, and water.

|Heavy trucks have been banned from some roads in New England—kept off secondary roads to protect the vulnerable road beds during the thaw. It's a common precaution up north, where trucks are redirected annually to prevent damage, but with temperatures rising earlier than usual this year, trucks in states such as Maine are being sent on detours a bit ahead of schedule. Workers at some companies that ship heavy loads have reversed their schedules, loading up trucks so they can drive through the night, when temperatures are lower.

|The warm weather this year shortened the maple syrup season and may have affected maple syrup production around the country. Maple trees need a range of cold temperatures to produce the most sap—cool days and below-freezing nights. And once the trees bud, the season is over. Warmer temperatures wreaked havoc this year. The season for gathering the sap usually lasts a month, but this year it ended far sooner for most producers.

|Nothing represents spring better than the beautiful flowers that bloom once the season has sprung. But when warm weather comes early, those flowers can bloom prematurely, leaving them vulnerable should winter weather kick in again. If an early flower is killed by a frost, the plants will not bloom again. Cherry blossoms, Washington D.C.'s most colorful attraction—second, of course, to the personalities of the people's elected representatives—are already blooming and will reach their peak earlier than expected, sometime between March 20 and 23. This year is the 100th anniversary of the trees, and some scientists predict that by 2080 the cherry blossoms may be blooming 29 days in advance.

|Across New England, birds have been returning from their sojourns South much earlier than usual, taking advantage of the warm weather. A spokesman for Audobon Connecticut said, "Anytime they show up in March, I am not stunned. But February, that was weird." It's good news for bird watchers, but pretty bad news for the birds. Birds may encounter sudden cold weather, which can kill any nesting young chicks. And while the early birds may show up early, their food supply will not necessarily do the same.

|Many of the dams and reservoirs in the United States were designed to handle snow melt levels in the 20th century. Now that spring comes earlier, snow is melting earlier, overwhelming dams early in the year, but then causing water shortages later, when the dams are emptied and cannot refill. Similarly, large forests that depend on snow melt become dryer with early spring, which leads to more forest fires.

|Of course, the earlier the flowers bloom and the birds come home, the earlier seasonal allergies will begin. Researchers are already predicting a "long and intense" allergy season, and many sufferers began feeling it much earlier than usual this year. Sadly, they are unlikely to experience much relief, even if the cool weather returns.

|An early spring also seems to have a great impact on the strangest nature of all—human nature. Indeed, there may be a connection between increases in temperature and increases in crime. This January saw a 5.7 percent increase in major crimes in New York City compared with the year before, and police have blamed it on the warm weather. "That is the only factor that seems to have changed. Last winter the city was buried in snow, and now there has been barely a snow flake," one police official said.

New Zealand's bid for a maiden one-day international series win in South Africa has been boosted by the suspension of Proteas skipper AB de Villiers.
De Villiers will miss the remaining two matches - beginning in Kimberley on Wednesday morning (1.30am NZT) - after he pleaded guilty for his role in his side's slow over rate in the Black Caps' one-wicket victory in the first game.
Match referee David Boon found the hosts to be six overs short of their target while bowling in Paarl, handing de Villiers a two-match suspension and fining the entire South African team their match fees.
Under the International Cricket Council's code of conduct, any slow rate which sees a side two overs short is a serious offence and, as a result, Faf du Plessis will take the reins for the rest of the series.
De Villiers, the world's second-ranked batsman, averages almost 50 in the one-day game and his absence is a further blow to a side already missing Jacques Kallis and JP Duminy, both of whom were rested for the series.
The Proteas probably thought they could cruise past New Zealand without the aid of the experienced pair, but they face two must-win games to avoid the ignominy of dropping a home series to a team ranked lower than Bangladesh.
The Black Caps, on the other hand, hold a golden chance to walk away from the tour with an unlikely notch in their belts. South Africa were ranked top in ODIs when New Zealand arrived and, although they dropped to third in the latest rankings, they are a major scalp for a side with few to their name.
And considering their pedigree in the Republic, a series triumph would have to rank among one of the better achievements of the New Zealand cricket team, especially given the seemingly endless Ross Taylor captaincy saga, the absence of one of their best batsmen (Jesse Ryder) and one of their best bowlers (Tim Southee), and the devastating outcome of the test series.
Not only have New Zealand never tasted success in an ODI series in the Republic, before this tour they had won only one match against the Proteas in their home conditions.
They lost twice to the hosts at the 1994 Mandela Trophy, before tasting twin thrashings in 2000 (5-0) and 2005 (4-0). A breakthrough victory came in Port Elizabeth in 2007 but was sandwiched by two defeats, while South Africa also beat the Black Caps at the 2009 Champions Trophy.
That all adds up to an overall record of one win and 14 losses before the current series, putting into context just how improbable an accomplishment this would be for a depleted team.
Before they pop the champagne corks, though, New Zealand will have to work for a win in the next two games. This is still a stacked South African squad - featuring the world's No 1 batsman (Hashim Amla) and three of the top 10 bowlers (Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Morne Morkel, Dale Steyn) - and they won't go down without a fight, even shorn of their talismanic skipper.

Family: Centrarchidae, Sunfishes view all from this family
Description The redbreast sunfish (Lepomis auritus) is a species of freshwater fish in the sunfish family (family Centrarchidae) of order Perciformes. The type species of its genus, it is native to the river systems of eastern Canada and the United States.
The redbreast sunfish reaches a maximum recorded length of about 30 cm (12 in), with a maximum recorded weight of 790 g (1.7 lb).
The species prefers vegetated and rocky pools and lake margins for its habitat. Its diet can include insects, snails, and other small invertebrates.
A panfish popular with anglers, the redbreast sunfish is also kept as an aquarium fish by hobbyists.
Redbreast sunfish are usually caught with live bait such as nightcrawlers, crickets, grasshoppers, waxworms, or mealworms. They can also be caught using small lures or flies. Most anglers use light spinning tackle to catch redbreast sunfish.
As is typical for the sunfishes, the female redbreast sunfish lays her eggs (approximately 1000) in a substrate depression built by the male. The male guards the eggs and fry.
L. auritus has been transplanted to and become established in Germany, Italy, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, sometimes with a harmful effect on native species.
Dimensions Up to 11" (28 cm); 1 1/2 lbs (700 g).
Habitat Lakes & ponds, Rivers & streams.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, Eastern Canada.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
BOONEVILLE – Jane Jones got justice, prosecutors said Friday shortly after her daughter was found guilty of her murder.
"Justice was served," Assistant District Attorney Josh Wise said to Jones' brother in the Prentiss County courtroom. "She didn't deserve to die."
Just a few minutes before, a jury of six men and six women unanimously agreed that Rebecca Lynn "Becky" Jones intentionally shot and killed her mother at the mother's 439 Highway 4 East home on May 11, 2010.
Circuit Judge Jim Seth Pounds sentenced her to the only option: life in prison.
Becky Jones, 49, likely will have the opportunity to apply for parole after she is 65, officials say.
When she heard the verdict, Jones put her face into her hands and trembled emotionally.
Within a few minutes, she was in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections on her way to the state prison in Pearl.
She spent much of Thursday on the stand telling the jury that her 66-year-old mother attacked her and that her 38-caliber pistol fired twice while the women struggled for it in Jane Jones' living room.
"There was no struggle," said Assistant District Attorney Kimi Kitchens, who aggressively prosecuted the case with Wise. "We are not going to let anyone get away with murder in Prentiss County."
Kitchens has been on the case for a while. She and Wise prosecuted Jones' first trial last October when a mistrial was declared because Jones became incapacitated by an illness.
Kitchens said she thought the key element in the jury's mind was the two shots and that the gun was found with its hammer cocked for a third shot.
"This was no accident," she said.
Defense attorney Rob Laher of Tupelo gave an impassioned effort for his client, repeatedly telling the jury Thursday that Jones was telling the truth about what happened.
Laher could not be reached for comment on the verdict late Friday.
On the stand, Jones wept and said, "I feel guilty every day because it was my gun."
"I did not kill my mother," she insisted. "I loved Mama."
But the jury had evidence of more than 40 years of turbulence, which reports said began immediately after the accidental death of Jane Jones' other daughter at a school bus stop as Becky stood there with her.
"Both women couldn't get what they wanted," Laher said. "Becky wanted her mother's love, and Jane wanted her daughter back."
Becky Jones' husband, Larry Putman, said his wife's life changed after she got away from her mother to live in Alabama with him.
"She is a sweet, kind person," he told the jury. "Her whole life has changed. She's happy now."
After the trial, people familiar with the two women said Jane's fatal shooting was not the first time confrontations occurred involving Becky Jones' pistol – more than once when she threatened to hurt herself with it.
Becky Jones and others testified during the trial to her years of drug abuse, which led to her mother's taking custody of her young daughter and to nearby property she couldn't pay the taxes on.
In jail conversation, her uncle Jimmy Hicks told the jury Becky told him, "She took my baby, she took my land and now she's taken my freedom."
The jury deliberated about 90 minutes Thursday night, then came back Friday and after 21⁄2 hours came back with the guilty-of-murder verdict.
Other options for the jury decision were not guilty, or guilty of culpable negligent manslaughter or heat-of-passion manslaughter, which came from discussions between the judge and attorneys.
Authorities said daughter-on-mother murder is so rare that they don't even keep statistics.

|If short on time and/or if better options are not available, this is a decent choice. I would never waste my time with this peak during Summer, but it is a decent offseason peak with little technical aspects.
As Gimpilator noted, we were the first people since 2008 to sign the Fay Pullen summit register. That either means most people do not visit the true highest point, or just do not find/see the register. Or they could be like me, and not sign every register they find. The original SP page creator for this peak submitted a photo showing the "summit" atop a cliff, but that is not true; the true highest point is near there and definitive.

The trail is fairly easy to follow until you get to the top. I was expecting some nice clifftop views to the East looking at Garfield. Their is only one section that I was able to get an un-obscured view and it wasn't even on the summit. All Summit views look West. Little disappointed but all in all it was a good day.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:18 PM GMT on October 28, 2009
Expect a warmer than average winter in the north central U.S., and cooler than average over the Southeast U.S., according the latest winter forecast issued last Thursday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Wetter than average conditions are likely from Texas across the Gulf Coast and across the Southeastern U.S., with California also more likely than not to get increased precipitation. Those are the temperature patterns observed about 60% of the time in the U.S. during an El Niño event. As I discussed in yesterday's post, El Niño--the periodic warming of the equatorial Eastern Pacific Ocean that occurs every 2 - 7 years--has just crossed the threshold from weak to moderate, meaning that that ocean temperatures are 1.0 - 1.5°C above average along the Equator off the Pacific coast of South America. Moderate El Niño conditions are expected to continue through the winter months of December - February, with some climate forecast models predicting intensification into a strong El Niño. The presence of all that warm water alters the path of the jet stream, affecting the winter weather across a large portion of the globe. In particular, the southern branch of the jet stream--called the subtropical jet--is expected to intensify, bringing increased cloudiness and storminess along its usual path, from south Texas, across the Gulf Coast, through Florida, and into South and North Carolina. The increased cloudiness typically leads to cooler temperatures and more rainfall across the entire Southeastern U.S., especially Florida and South Texas. This should give significant drought relief to the South Texas.
The heat in the Eastern Pacific Ocean during an El Niño winter makes for more intense mid-latitude low pressure systems off the U.S. west coast. As a result, these storms are able to pump abnormally warm air into western Canada, Alaska and the extreme northern portion of the contiguous United States. With this warm air typically comes drier than normal conditions. With the forecast for Vancouver, Canada--home to the February 12 - 28 2010 Winter Olympics this winter--calling for warmer and drier conditions than average, lack of snow may be a problem for some of the venues. If the El Niño manages to strengthen to the strong category (greater than 1.5°C), California will most likely experience much increased precipitation, and the North Central U.S. will see winter temperatures 3 - 6°F above average. NOAA maintains a web page that shows the typical U.S. temperature and precipitation patterns for any season for historical EL Niño and La Niña events. Golden Gate Weather takes the idea a step further, and separates the effects by whether it is a weak, moderate, or strong El Niño.
How good is this forecast?
Not all El Niño winters follow the usual pattern. For instance, the El Niño winter of 2004 - 2005 had above-average temperatures over the entire U.S., and drier than average conditions across Florida, which are the opposite of the typical pattern observed during most El Niño winters (Figures 1 and 2). There are other natural variations in the weather and climate, such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) that can act to counteract or re-enforce the typical El Niño pattern. In addition, the climate is changing due to human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases, and its possible that what we've come to expect an El Niño winter to be like based on past history will no longer be true as often. It is likely the dramatic loss of arctic sea ice in recent years is already significantly affecting precipitation and temperature patterns during winter, and that the patterns we expect to see during El Niño winters are now changing to a new mode. I'll discuss the possibilities in a future post.

Philippines prepare for Typhoon Mirinae
Category 2 Typhoon Mirinae continues to trek westward towards the Philippine Islands, but appears to have leveled out in intensity. Latest infrared satellite loops show a large, well organized cloud pattern, but an eye is not evident, and the areal extent, organization, and temperature of the cloud tops has not changed much over the past six hours. Satellite estimates of Mirinae's intensity have held steady over the past twelve hours. Wind shear is a moderate 15 knots, and the ocean temperatures are very warm, 29°C. These warm waters extend to great depth, and the Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential (TCHP) is 80 - 100 kJ/cm^2 along Mirinae's entire path to the Philippines. Values of TCHP in excess of 90 kJ/cm^2 are frequently associated with rapid intensification. With wind shear expected to remain in the low to moderate range over the next three days, intensification of Mirinae into a major Category 3 or higher typhoon before its expected landfall at 06 UTC October 31 on Luzon Island is a good possibility.

Quiet in the Atlantic
There are no threat areas in the Atlantic to discuss, and the the Caribbean is dominated by dry air and high wind shear. However, the extreme Southwestern Caribbean near the coast of Panama is expected to gradually moisten early next week, and several recent runs of the GFS and NOGAPS models suggested that a tropical depression could form in the Southwest Caribbean off the coast of Panama 7 - 8 days from now.
Next post
In tomorrow's port, I'll discuss the impact of El Niño on wintertime tornado activity in Florida, plus have an update on the Philippines typhoon, and the latest model predictions of a possible tropical depression in the Caribbean next week.

8/1-8/10 S.E. Cape Cod Wade Fishing Report
Where the land ends LIFE begins
Dear Randy,
Well, I finally returned to Syracuse from the Cape and got my !@#$%^&* laptop
to work so I could let you know about my impressions of our day afield. Last
year, with the wind and horizontal rain I felt like Sgt. Preston of the
Yukon.. This year, with the sun and heat it was as if I was Buster Crabbe in
that old tv show about the French foreign legion trudging through the desert
( I know, you're not old enough to remember that but I am as you so kindly,
continually point out to me) as we slogged across the flats. I would have
been drier if I fell in the water!
Now, I'm a pretty good fly fisher. I've caught 20" trout on 6x and tiny
flies, stalked them during a spinner fall on the Bighorn, thrown hoppers at
them on the Madison, caught steelhead on the Salmon. But nothing, absolutely
nothing prepared me for what I experienced with you and my brother-in-law,
Dan, on the Ol'Pucker Brush Creek Flats. First of all, I forgot how to cast, how to stack
line, how to do anything! My first cast was a disaster. I had more line
tangled in my basket than I had on my old Ocean City level wind reel when I
was a kid in Atlantic City. I got buck fever, and held on to it for at least
an hour. "Fish at 1 o'clock, thirty feet. Cast now!" Yeah sure and I'll make
enough money on the stock market to buy one of those water houses in Chatham.
And then to stand there and leave the crab motionless as the striper
approached, flashed, turned, tailed, whatever until I could actually set the
hook! Oh yeah, and I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
But I'll never forget standing on the ladder, staring at the water trying to
make heads or tails of what was a fish. And out of nowhere comes this dark
torpedo right at you; no, five dark torpedoes and then trying to get it all
together to cast, Whew! The best was spotting those three fish for Dan when
you were indecently exposed on the island (oops, was I supposed to say
that?). I know that doing this for a living must get old at times, but
spotting those fish and coaching Dan as to when and where to cast (and to see the hook-up!) was
memorable. I see torpedoes in my dreams, and I'll be back.
8/10 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
Scheduled Day Off.
8/9 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
John, Kevin and Mike had lot's of striper fly experience. Mostly on their home waters off
Jersey. But they had never experienced sight casting to big bass on these crystal clear
shallow water flats. Boy, were they ever excited today! Reminded me of when I was a little
kid waking up Christmas morning, anticipating what was in all the presents that Santa had
delivered. There were no lumps of coal in today's gift's. Just a fair to good number of
good sized bass. Everyone hooked up 3- 4 times. Unfortunately, some were broken off and
some short striked the fly. We walked about 6 miles today on the flats (Phewww) so that
my guests would have a good understanding of this world class fishery and the many gifts
it had to offer. They will be fishing on their own all weekend, so I wanted to give them
lots of options.
We had birds and fish crashing bait in the AM. combined with sight fishing on the flats.
Covered a couple of area's that were almost void of fish. And found other area's to be
loaded with bass and bait! It seemed that if you could find the bait, you would find fish.
Lots of Chubs, silver sides, sand lances, shrimp and baby herring or bunker around. Your
flies should imitate these different types of bait exactly, combined with the proper retrieve for
optimum success.
(See Photo's)
Mike was all smiles with his first ever, 28 inch, sighted flats fish. He saw it, cast at
it and watched the fish inhale it. Congrats to you all!
My feet hurt, my legs are tired, Im happy to have tomorrow off.
Have fun but be careful, Randy
8/8 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
Bob and Stan must be gluttons for punishment. After seeing all those fish yesterday that would not eat their perfectly cast fly (he-he), they wanted to try it all over again today. Mother nature once again shined on us. She gave us a day with a ton of sun and just enough wind to make it interesting while sight casting on these crystal clear water, light colored bottom sand flats. Lets see, I can either hook my ear, Randy's ear or a fish, hmmmmm. We saw less fish today than yesterday, but at least some of the ones we saw and cast at today ate! Big fish at the start of the incoming, then close to the top of the tide they all turned small? Then back again to a better size. This change kept a different fly close by. I use different flies dependent of size and numbers of fish. Also whether I have lots of current or less. Even the education level and species of fish can change the fly I use also. Different depths, clarity of water, ability level of angler, migratory cycle and other reasons can require a fly change. Anyway, we hooked up a couple of small fish and also a couple of 29 inch bass.
(See Photo's)
Bob Toffler MD shows off one of a few fish that came to hand today. Congrats to you both!!
If any of you are doctors who enjoy fishing, I might recommend you give Bob an email email@example.com or phone call (203) 389-0348. He has a company called "Flyfishing Physicians". He puts together fishing trips in combination with your continuing medical education. This Nov. he has a great trip planned for Bonefish and will also have one for Trout out West. I like the idea of you being able to get your C.M.E with some C. F.(ishing) E. !!
8/7 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
Bob and Stan wanted to sight fish today. So off we marched to see what the day would bring. Saw and had shots at a number of bass on the coming tide in the A.M., but no takers. Went through a few slow periods over the course of the day at and around the high with a fish here and there to cast at. The dropping brought a fair to good number of fish to throw at. We had lookers and had a couple of bump's, but again no solid take's. The wind died mid-day and the sun lit up the flats like it was Times Square on New Years Eve. It was a great party out there today, but the ball never dropped. 95% of the fish we were casting at were all 10lb's or better. I think they all had a master's degree on what was real and not. Welcome to August on the flat's!
8/6 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
Mike decided to brave the wind forecast and give it a shot. Winds were forecast to be 15-25 knots, small craft advisory. We found a spot to fish that was out of the wind and picked up a couple of fish. Then we ventured out into an area that was unprotected. Forget about it. I can't remember the last time I was out in a wind like that! For me it was actually fun to be out in it. Everyday the weather makes for a different view. The cloud formations were amazing. We called it quits after a 1/2 day. Wind had to be a steady 20 with much higher gusts. Had a nice lunch behind a big sand dune enjoying the view. Noticed the "I" buoy had blown or was dragged out of the boating channel by about 200 yards. Good thing it was high tide or many a boat would have run aground on the many shallow sand bars surrounding the channel. I'll call the harbor master before someone gets hurt. Lots and lots of monkey fur in the water. Probably would have hooked up more if the water had been a little cleaner.
(See Photo's - www.yankeeangler.com - Fishing Reports)
Both Mike and fish smile for the camera. One of them didn't have a choice. (he-he) Congrats!!
Scheduled Days off- Vacation, during these slowwwww tides.
Lots of mung and the fishing has been slow for us. Big fish around if you know where to look. A few smaller fish are also available.
Good Luck,

I'm looking for housing next summer here on the Cape.
2003 May, June, July, August - 1 bedroom cottage, apt needed for myself . Chatham, Harwich, Dennisport, Orleans area.
508-398-9980 Randy Jones
Bill only had 2 hours to sight fish and he made the best of his time. With-in 20 seconds of me saying, we could see them at anytime in this spot. I was calling out fish to him. Then another and another. I stationed Bill on my ladder to fish from, to give him a visual advantage. He was seeing them pretty good. The last cast was made before he had to leave and a nice 15 lb. bass ate it. But on the run the hook pulled lose. During the time Bill was sight fishing on his own, I was in the shallows teaching Roland the art of fly fishing. During this time we had 2 schools of about 20 fish each (all around 10 lb. bass) pass between Bill and ourselves. It was exciting to watch, as they were continually tailing, rolling and slurping on the available bait as they swam by us in 2 feet of water, very slowly.
Roland picked up false casting and then shooting it after the mornings lesson. We ventured out onto the flats to sight fish. No blind casting here. If we could not see them, they simply were not there and no cast's were made. Glad there were a good number of big fish around traveling shallow as we never waited long for another shot. If we were not seeing them here, we moved 200 feet and found a whole new batch of fresh fish to cast too. Once they realized we were there and moved out, we walked and found some more. Roland had some good shots at'm and also a good number of cast's at some big'ns. We came up empty for the day, but had a fun time trying!
One thing that is blatantly obvious presently, is that there is FINALLY a good amount of bait present. This is one thing some of us have been noticing a lack of for the last month! Bait-silversides and sand lances. . Sandlances are schooled or hiding in the soft sand. Silver sides are all schooled up They have been shallow in good numbers, in several different locations. The fish are keying in on both bait's. Especially where there is moving water, bringing them their next meal. (Compressed water flow)
Best Fish's,
Randy Jones
Randy, where can I get a platform ladder that I can carry around. Thanks for any leads you might have.

They should have done more stuff like this in the realistic style . . .

Wow, I find these to be exceptionally boring. Oh boy, the same figure 4 times in different poses plus a Jedi, whoopee.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

I agree with Sal. Anyone wanting to army biuld these things will be thrilled. It's a whole lot easier to buy two or three packs to army biuld one clone than to hunt them down individualy. Only down side is they don't come with stands, do they?
Well, that and atleast for me, they aren't 'realistic' style so they would clash with my army. And on top of that, they are ROTS style clones so they'd clash even more.
Is ANYONE planning on army-building the animated stuff? After seeing these sets, I'm actually contemplating not buying any of it. Hopefully Hasbro indeed decides to redo them in the realistic style; I'd hate to have a bunch of the same clones in both animated and realistic style.

I'm with most everybody here. I'm not going to buy or army build because they just don't look good with all the stuff I already have. There is just no reason for me to buy any of these. It's a good thing the vehicles can go either way, and this way the kids can army build for their AT-TE etc.
I'm so happy that we are at least getting Wave 2 Legacy Clone Wars in realistic style.
"Ohh, maxi big da fish! Well dat smells stinkowiff"
"No time to discuss this as a supercommittee.... I am not a supercommittee!"
Whoo-hoo, I'm still excited by the amount of money I've been able to save or spend on other things because of Hasbro's delay in toys as well as the choice to do half of their line in animated style. Being able to make the decision not to by the animated figures is going to save me a bundle. If I had broke down and bought the line, I'd have been back in the army building game and that's just something I don't want to do.
Move along, move along

Dear MM...This is the most ignorant statement you've ev er posted. "World War 2 was not started by germany, it was started by the treaty of versaille and any historian would agree with that." That ranks right up there with the gobal warming advocates thast will be quick to lie that every scientist believes the American people are to blame for all the changes in the weather.
Please don't try your WWII revisionism on here...you will get called on it.

"All of these shots were taken near Buffalo Pass at a heavily used water hole," says local hunter Bill Van Ness. "The bull moose was the boss of the woods and actually came by me at 10 years, tearing up every tree in his path. He had a pretty severe attitude. The elk was in front of my trail cameras daily. He was fun to monitor. One morning he passed through a camera, then four hours later he passed through another one two miles away. The bear is one of nine different bears I was able to catch on camera in the area. You couldn't set foot in the woods without coming across a bear up there."

Packers preseason schedule set
GREEN BAY - By Jason Wilde
The Green Bay Packers will open exhibition play at home against the Arizona Cardinals sometime during the second week of August, be visited by the Seattle Seahawks for a nationally televised Aug. 23 game - the closest thing they'll have to a rematch of the infamous Inaccurate Reception game from last September - and travel to St. Louis and Kansas City to complete their preseason schedule.
The NFL announced its full preseason schedule on Thursday, although it did not set specific dates for three of the Packers' four games. The only firm date for the Packers is the game against the Seahawks at Lambeau Field, because that game will be shown on CBS.
The Packers' other three games will be on its preseason TV network.
The team will open preseason play against Cardinals at Lambeau Field sometime between Aug. 8 and 12. The Packers will then travel to St. Louis to face the Rams sometime between Aug. 15 and 19.
After playing host to the Seahawks on Friday, Aug. 23, they'll travel to Kansas City to close the preseason against the Chiefs on Aug. 29 or 30. It will mark the fourth straight year the two teams have closed preseason play against each other.
Last season, the Packers played all four of their exhibition games on Thursday nights, and it's possible coach Mike McCarthy will work to play all four games on Fridays in order to keep a consistent schedule. That would mean the games would be played on Aug. 9, 16, 23 and 30, if McCarthy has his druthers.
"I think when you play four weeks in a row on the same day, it's a benefit because you like training in seven-day intervals," McCarthy said at the NFL Meetings last month.
None of the four teams on the Packers' preseason slate are on Green Bay's regular-season list of opponents. The league is expected to release the regular-season schedule later this month.
Packers preseason schedule
Aug. 8-12 ARIZONA CARDINALS TBA WGBA/state
Aug. 15-19 at St. Louis Rams TBA WGBA/state
Aug. 23 SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 7 p.m. CBS
Aug. 29-30 at Kansas City Chiefs TBA WGBA/state

EDIT: Allen Robinson was one I was missing but he very well could be a first rounder with a solid combine
Printable View
EDIT: Allen Robinson was one I was missing but he very well could be a first rounder with a solid combine
I'll add Ealy and Donald to my list.. :D
I am going to change my list up a little bit...
1) Darqueze Dennard (Scared he will be taken by Detroit at 10 though..)
2) C.J Mosley
3) Aaron Donald
4) Justin Gilbert
5) Zach Martin (I really don't like a guard pick this early but if they feel like he can step in right away and help the team then I guess I would accept that..)
We should do a thread where we pick our 5fave players in this draft, rather then the big board. Because you can have a fave player whos perdicted to go in RD4 .. Most would have diffrent lists, itd be cool to see..
But just top 5 first rd hopefuls, trying to be realist, i'd go
CJ Mosley
Khalil Mack
Mike Evans
Aaron Donald- I'll probably have him number 1 after he kills the combine.
Jace Amaro
1 Watkins a true offensive weapon. Could be great w new gameplan
2 Dennard. Really could change the defense w physical play
3 Lewan mean streak Beatty in 15 cut. great bookend young tackles
4 Mosely love to see a dominant line backing core
5 Mack. See Mosely
1. Teddy Bridgewater
2. Sammy Watkins
2. Justin Gilbert
3. Paul Richardson
4. Carlos Hyde
5. Odell Beckham Jr.
6. Darqueze Dennard
7. Michael Sam
8. Marqise Lee
9. Johnny Manziel
10. Dri Archer
For example I like Ebron a ton, as a prospect. However, I would never have wanted us to draft him if KG was still our OC. However, an offense like the 1 that Saints run I would be terrified of the dmg he could do.
Since I have no idea how we will use guys and which guys will fit, its hard for me think offensive guys.
I like matching system with player.

Race, immigration and the workplace are conference topics--UPDATED 2/26
Posted February 12, 2010; 12:32 p.m.
Friday sessions are canceled due to weather; Saturday sessions will be held, weather permitting.
Noted legal scholars and social scientists will participate in a two-day conference titled "Race, Immigration and the Law of the Workplace: 21st-Century Challenges" Friday and Saturday, Feb. 26-27, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Over the past 20 years, the United States has received a wave of immigration -- including many undocumented immigrants -- that is unprecedented in size and diversity. Panelists will discuss the impact of this trend on the American workplace, labor and union organizing, citizenship, understandings of race and ethnicity, and American politics.
Discussion topics will be: "Immigration and the New Dynamics of Employment Discrimination" at 2 p.m. Feb. 26, followed by "Policy Prospects in the Age of Obama" at 4 p.m.; and "Immigration and the Challenge to Labor Unions" at 9:30 a.m. Feb. 27, followed by "Immigration and the Meaning of Citizenship" at 11:30 a.m.
The conference is sponsored by the Program in Law and Public Affairs in cooperation with the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at the University of California-San Diego.

female shepard looks a bit weird, but still pretty damn cool
So not only does Game Informer explicitly say that Mass Effect 3 has a satisfying ending that leaves all questions answered, give the game 10, which it wouldn't have deserved if had the best ending in video game history, but one of the guys who reviewed it wrote an article defending day-one DLC.
Sounds like either gameinformer is crap, or someone slipped the writer a few credits.
Or both.
Review media is meant to keep an industry's producers' balls in a vice grip, but the gaming industry has it the other way around. The producers are meant to be dependent upon the media for exposure and marketing, but the gaming media has become dependent upon the producers. And thus, the subconscious worry of "will this piss the producer off?" takes precedence over "is this a service to our readers?"
It isn't going to be until the audience of said media starts losing interest (which is slowly happening with the resurgent power of word-of-mouth) that the traditional industry media sources will change their priorities.
I think number ratings on games are dumb anyways.
I can't have been the only one to notice all of these gaming sites changed their fucking tune a couple weeks in, once it was becoming clear that they weren't exactly endearing themselves to a wide audience. Straight 180.
Wow holy crap that's an old post.
because maybe education is awesome in the future, but i dunno if a 30-month-old is going to be attending classes. Actually, probably closer to a 21-24 month-old kid considering that lady was not visibly pregnant in ME1.
I miss Mass Effect now...
On that note, Have some always funny Firefly bloopers
Nathan Fillion would've been good in Mass Effect.
He's already shown he can do sci-fi video games as well as he can movies and series. He was good in Halo.
He had a thing with EDI's actor's character in ODST.
Could've have been along side Adam Baldwin when he was a Quarian.
Also, it's sad that certain gaming press put developer/producer appeasement ahead of appeasing the readers and giving them the reliable intel that the readers come to view. Sure give your views, but they've gotta be honest, truthful, uncorrupt and personal.
Also also, when the devs/publishers throw their weight around like that, it isn't really bribery so much as it is blackmail, like saying "If you don't give our games good reviews, we'll stop giving you exclusive access to our intel". It's akin to a courtesan threatening to cut your balls off if you don't tip her, or that one scene in Rat Race with the mechanic and his disagreement with the girl in the car (the one who flew the helicopter and got revenge on her cheating boyfriend); abuse of power through blackmail seems so horrible.
No such thing as a "Wrong" firefly blooper reel
My favorite still have to be the one with Mal using the dirtnapping baby jesus as a hoodorniment
Got both Firefly and Serenity on bluray, I watch it whenever I feel sad or bored. (I actually watched Jaynestown episode of Firefly after ME3 ending, cheered me up a bit)
And now I am talking to EA support for the fifth time to see if I can get the commendation pack for Operation Raptor that I never got in the first place.Scylia Costa posted:
Edit: Well, that sucks. Kushneet from EA support said he awarded it to me, and I check in game and it isn't showing up. I tell him and he says "I'm afraid than it is not fixed"
Here's hoping next Operation will go better for me.
Waaait a second...
Wasn't there supposed to be a free pack with one Resurgance character?
So, the Catalyst is pretty sure that the Created will always rebel against their Creators. He claims that's the whole cycle, yadda yadda, the Geth rebelled, and so did generations before.
Well... that's fine and dandy I guess there, Catalyst. What are you, again?
Hmm? The Creator of the Reapers?
Hmm. Interesting.
You know, I noticed....
The reapers seem to be doing a really ****ty job with that whole " rebelling" against you, thing.
You seem to have a race of synthetics that obey you.
Makes a little more sense then the "They just never felt the need to rebel against me for some reason"
but ...yeah.
Kind of surprising they left REALLY big loopholes in the story.
The reapers existence is justified because they are there to kill everything to stop everything from killing each other, and the whole star kid scenario.
I mean did they just expect people to just go with it?
Why is Co-op being laggy all of a sudden? Is it because Sony is doing maintenance or something?
So i've been out for about 4 days now. Any major news?
Master Chief is way out of proportion though.
and this reminds me of HALOID.
oooh shit, I just thought of something.
You know that Batarian preacher in the refugee area of the Citadel docks? I'm pretty sure that's the same bastard that was preaching doom-and-gloom on Omega near the apartments.

Kohn honored by mathematics society
Posted February 12, 2004; 11:49 a.m.
Joseph Kohn, professor of mathematics at Princeton, has been selected by the American Mathematical Society to receive the 2004 Stefan Bergman Prize for his influential research.
"Kohn's work in partial differential equations and several complex variables has influenced countless researchers and has fostered an intense interaction between these subjects," the prize citation said.
Established in 1988, the $22,000 prize recognizes mathematical accomplishments in the areas of research in which Bergman worked. Bergman, who died in 1977, was a Stanford University mathematician best known for his research in several complex variables.
Kohn has been a professor at Princeton since 1968 and is a former chair of the Department of Mathematics. A graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he earned his master's and Ph.D. degrees from Princeton.
Kohn has been a leading figure in complex analysis for the past 40 years. His honors include membership in the National Academy of Sciences and the Steele Prize from the American Mathematical Society for a seminal contribution to research.

VIDEO: Raw highlights of Eastern's win over Southern Utah
The defense gave the Eagles an early lead at Roos Field and the offense padded it.
Eastern Washington University intercepted three passes, had four sacks and won the all-important turnover battle to help EWU defeat Southern Utah Saturday (Oct. 19) in a Big Sky Conference football game in EWU's 87th Homecoming Game.
Leading just 14-3 at halftime, Eastern's offense got untracked in the second half and scored touchdowns on three-straight possessions in front of a sold-out crowd of 10,135. The win sets up next week's showdown versus 10th-ranked Montana in Missoula.
"To get going and score on three possessions in the second half, I was proud of how our players responded from the first half," said Eastern head coach Beau Baldwin.
"It is a very good feeling," he added. "I just love the energy our guys came out with. By no means was it perfect. There were a lot of little things, but I thought our energy, our attitude and our demeanor were awesome."
EWU out-gained SUU in total offense 486-368, including advantages of 161-28 in the first quarter and 175-102 in the decisive third period. Eastern is currently tied atop the Big Sky standings at 3-0 with Montana State, and EWU is now 5-2 overall. The Thunderbirds are 5-3 overall and 2-2 in the conference.
Eastern quarterback Vernon Adams completed 25-of-35 passes for 298 yards and three touchdowns in the win, and redshirt freshman Cooper Kupp had 11 catches for 168 yards and a score. Kupp's performance equaled the 12th-best in school history tied with 10 others, including teammate Ashton Clark with 11 grabs versus SUU a year ago.
Junior linebacker Cody McCarthy led the defense with eight tackles, and Buck Buchanan Award candidate Ronnie Hamlin, also a linebacker, added seven. Eastern won the turnover battle 3-2 against a team that entered the game ranked eighth in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision with a plus nine margin for the season.
All three turnovers EWU forced were interceptions recorded by Tevin McDonald, Ronald Baines and Samson Ebukam, who returned his 21 yards for the first score of the day. Sacks were recorded by Andru Pulu, Matthew Sommer, Anthony Larry and Evan Day.
It was the first time EWU has had three interceptions since they had three in back-to-back games in October of 2010 against Northern Arizona and Weber State.
The victory was a measure of revenge against a SUU team that defeated Eastern 30-27 last season and knocked the Eagles out of the top spot in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision rankings. It was also one of only three losses for Adams as an Eastern starting quarterback, with a current record of 13-3 in 16 career starts.
Eastern jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, and scored on an interception return for the second-straight week. Ebukam returned an errant pass that was hurried by teammate Dylan Zylstra for 21 yards and a 7-0 EWU lead seven minutes into the contest.
The offense then put together a six-play, 84-yard drive to take a 14-0 lead. Clark caught a 12-yard TD pass from Adams, who also completed a pass for 43 yards to Kupp.
After a scoreless second quarter for Eastern, the Eagles led 14-3 at halftime. Early in the third quarter, EWU capitalized on an interception by Ronald Baines deep in EWU territory at the 15. The resulting eight-play, 85-yard drive was capped by a 31-yard TD pass from Adams to true freshman Kendrick Bourne.
After taking that 21-3 lead, Eastern scored the next two times it had the ball too. A 78-yard drive lasted just four plays, and was capped by a 52-yard touchdown pass from Adams to Kupp. Mario Brown then scored from 11 yards out to end a short 44-yard drive to give EWU a 34-3 lead with 13:18 to play.
"Sometimes you can't put your finger on it exactly," Baldwin said of the difference in halves. "Sometimes a guy makes a play. One time when we turned it over the ball was tipped up in the air. What are you going to do? The other time (we had a turnover) their defensive end did a great job of hitting our mesh point when we were running a little read zone type action.
"You have to give credit to the opponent too," he added. "They made plays. I don't think our players were ever unfocused. I just thought we needed to get over the hump and execute a little better."
Next Saturday, in a game televised regionally on ROOT Sports, the Eagles face 6-1 and 10th-ranked Montana. The Grizzlies improved to 3-1 in the Big Sky with a 21-14 victory over Cal Poly.
Eastern then takes on Idaho State, fifth-ranked MSU and Cal Poly in November. Eastern's resume this season has included a 49-46 victory at Pac-12 Conference member Oregon State, and narrow road losses to Toledo (33-21) and Sam Houston State (49-34).

'My Fair Lady' to be staged at Berlind Theatre
Posted November 10, 2009; 11:32 a.m.
The Program in Theater of the Lewis Center for the Arts will present its fall show, the musical classic "My Fair Lady," at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 13-14, and Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 19-21, at the Berlind Theatre.
Based on George Bernard Shaw's 1913 play "Pygmalion," the musical was written by Frederick Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner. The Princeton production is directed by lecturer in theater Suzanne Agins, a 1997 alumna, and stars senior Laura Hankin, for whom it serves as a creative thesis.
"My Fair Lady" tells the story of Professor Henry Higgins (senior Shawn Fennell), a phonetics specialist, and Eliza Doolittle (Hankin), the Cockney flower girl he wagers he can pass off as a refined society lady by teaching her how to speak with an upper-class accent. First seen on Broadway in 1956, it is now considered one of the masterpieces of the American musical theater, featuring memorable songs such as "Wouldn't It Be Loverly," "I Could Have Danced All Night" and "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face."
Agins has chosen the two-piano version of the show seen at the McCarter Theatre in 2004, but directs a cast twice the size of that production, including students Bethy Atkins, Paul Bangiola, Joey Barnett, Catherine Cohen, Dan Corica, Gabriel Crouse, Carolyn Edelstein, Gary Fox, Chris Ghaffari, Donald Judd, Lianna Kissinger-Virizlay, Alexis Kleinman, Andy Linz, Matt Prast, Alana Tornello, Danny Weiss and Margaret White.
Michael Cadden, director of the Program in Theater, noted that, though the program has produced musicals in the past, this is the first time that the annual fall show -- professionally directed, designed and choreographed, with a student cast -- has been chosen from this genre. "Musical theater is this country's unique gift to the world's stages -- the kind of theater we're most noted for around the globe," he said. "In producing 'My Fair Lady,' we celebrate the happy wedding of Shavian Anglo-Irish wit and American musical theater bravura."
Tickets are $10 for students and senior citizens and $15 for general admission. Tickets are available through the McCarter Theatre Center box office at (609) 258-2787 or through University Ticketing online or by calling (609) 258-9220.

my absolute favorite Giant season outside of the Superbowl years
a rough and tumble rag tag bunch that fought tooth and nail every single Sunday
very little talent and more heart than a jungle full of lions
Big Red had those guys fighting harder than any Giant team I have seen before or since
that was a dangerous team that just missed the playoff by the skin of their teeth
they would have been dangerous in the playoffs
1997... first winning Giants season I got to witness firsthand in my life...
1993. After watching Parcells abandon the team and having dismal 8-8 and 6-10 seasons, Reeves restored respectability to the franchise... Great mix of veterans like LT and Simms along with new blood like Strahan and a still young Rodney Hampton. Went toe-to-toe with the defending champ and eventual champ that year Cowboys and all the marbles in the last game of the season, an epic game that we lost. Despite how it ended in SF it was a hell of a ride. I felt that was the ending the 1990 team deserved.
My favorite was definitely 1981. My first playoff appearance for my team. I started when I was 8 as a Giants fan and I was 22 with my first playoff game. And we beat Philly with a huge first half, then losing to SF the next week.
These young fans have no idea what we went through as Giants fans.
Will you guys stop with that "young people don't know what it's like" bullcrap? Because honestly it's insulting to me, someone raised from birth as a Giants fan, and whose first memory of the Giants was Dave Brown (I was born in 1988, and was 6 years old at the time). I had to wait 13 years myself for a super bowl title. So STOP attacking me because I "don't know what it's like".
If I complain about our current team's problems, it's because I know we don't have Eli forever, and another Dave Brown is likely waiting in the wings. This is the greatest era of Giants history we're living in, and I for one don't want it to go to waste...

With the NFL draft now less than 10 weeks away, things are starting to get a bit more serious when it comes to breaking down who the top first year players will be in 2011. It is also a time, though, to reflect back on the history of the NFL draft, which is an oftentimes sketchy one.
The Dolphins hold the 15th overall selection in the first round this year and interestingly enough, this will only be the second time in franchise history that the Fins have been slotted to pick at #15. The other time? 1997, when Miami selected Hurricanes receiver Yatil Green, who suffered a series of serious injuries and managed to play in just eight games in a four year career, catching a total of 18 balls for 234 yards.
So who have been some of the other big-name guys to have been selected with the 15th pick of the first round? The list isn't exactly long and illustrious, but I did find some decent players taken in this spot in the last 40 years:
-2010: The Giants take USF defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul who had a decent rookie year for New York.
-2009: USC linebacker Brian Cushing is selected by the Texans; he recorded 4.5 sacks in his rookie year.
-2002: The Titans take Tennessee's Albert Haynesworth. While he has had plenty of issues both on and off the field, he was a very productive player his first few years in the league.
-2000: The Broncos take Cal CB Deltha O'Neal, who had a very productive 10-year career for Denver, the Bengals, and Patriots.
-1986: The Seahawks select University of Florida RB John L. Williams, who played 10 NFL seasons for Seattle and Pittsburgh. In his best year, 1988, he ran for 877 yards and four touchdowns.
-1983: The Patriots take Illinois QB Tony Eason, who would play nine seasons and help take the Pats to Super Bowl XX. He finished his career with 61 touchdown passes and 51 interceptions.
Meanwhile, in 1978, the St. Louis Cardinals selected kicker/punter Steve Little at #15, making him the third-highest kicker ever taken in the draft. Despite the fact that he holds the (shared) NCAA record for the longest FG in college history (67 yards), his pro career and life were tragic. He washed out with the Cards in three years and shortly after he was released, was involved in a serious car accident that left him a quadriplegic. He died at age 43.
So that's a brief history of the #15 pick in the first round. The Dolphins, of course, may end up trading up or down between now and the night of April 28th, but if you're looking for a bit of historical perspective on what has come out of this spot in the draft, I hope you've enjoyed.

Up Next for Hunt, CroCop in the UFC Featured
- Written by Dave Walsh
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Last week we talked about the much discussed Strikeforce Heavyweight tournament and why fans of K-1 and kickboxing should have some interest in these events, even if they don't care at all about Fedor Emelianenko. Well, Strikeforce is not the only MMA game in the US to feature notable K-1 veterans, as the UFC has a handful of fights on tap worth a look. At the moment, the UFC has 3 former K-1 heavyweights on contract (a 4th, Antoni Hardonk, quietly retired last summer with little notice), and all 3 have fights scheduled in the coming weeks. Let's take a look at what's next for our former kickboxing names, and take a quick look at their chances:
MIRKO CROCOP vs. Brendan Schaub, UFC 128: Shogun vs. Evans, March 19 - Without a doubt, Mirko CroCop Filipovic remains the gold standard by which to judge any K-1 fighter looking to make the transition to MMA. After leaving K-1 behind in 2003, CroCop was dominant in MMA, terrorizing Pride with his brutal head kicks. But in recent years, that dominance has looked more and more like a thing of the distant past. He's had a lackluster 4-4 run in the UFC, and is coming in off a dull loss to Frank Mir where the former K-1 GP finalist was KO'd by jiu jitsu fighter Mir. There were flashes of the old CroCop in his fight with Pat Barry, but those flashes are increasingly rare. Schaub is a young fighter and relatively new to the UFC, but is currently on a 3 fight win streak. His last win was a career best victory for him, as he defeated Gabriel Gonzaga - the man who famously CroCop'd CroCop in what was the beginning of the end for the Croatian's career. No doubt at all I'll be rooting for CroCop here, but Schaub is young, hungry, and a deceptively tough challenge.
MARK HUNT vs. Chris Tuchscherer, UFC 127: Penn vs. Fitch, February 27 - Like CroCop, Mark Hunt traded in K-1 success for a strong run in Pride. And like CroCop, he's recently fallen on hard times in the ring. The 2001 K-1 Grand Prix champion is on a dreadful 7 fight combined losing streak in MMA and K-1, and has not won a fight since retiring Tsuyoshi Kohsaka back in May 2006. Recent fights have seen the once unstoppable Hunt KO'd by Melvin Manhoef and repeatedly submitted, seemingly with ease. This show takes place in Australia, and maybe this will be a good opportunity for Hunt to take part in his final fight, as he just doesn't seem to have the drive any more. His opponent, Chris Tuchscherer is a training partner to Brock Lesnar, and has yet to show much of note in the UFC, but I still find it hard to pick Hunt over him. Despite Hunt's recent troubles, I'm still glad to see him in the UFC, and it's particularly satisfying that with this fight and Overeem vs. Werdum in Strikeforce, MMA fans will see two of the K-1 Grand Prix champions in action next month.
PAT BARRY vs. Joey Beltran, UFC: Fight for the Troops 2, January 22 - The least K-1 experienced fighter of the bunch, Barry is also the youngest and the one with the most potential for a future MMA career. While CroCop and Hunt are winding down their decorated careers, the 31 year old Barry seems to be just getting started. Barry competed in a handful of K-1 events from 2005-2007, with his biggest wins coming against Gary Goodridge and Rickard Nordstrand. A former Ernesto Hoost trainee, Barry has now been in the UFC for just over two years. His last fight was a good match with CroCop, where the young kickboxer seemed a bit star-struck and allowed himself to be awed by Mirko's legend before being choked out. Previous to that fight, he showed good skills against Antoni Hardonk, proving that he is a worthy prospect. He faces the unfortunately nicknamed "Mexicutioner" Joey Beltran, best known for wrecking the much anticipated UFC debut of Rolles Gracie at UFC 109. Beltran is a lot like Barry - another tough young fighter looking to move up, making this a good, even match. In the end I think it will be Barry's stand-up skills that earn him the win, although his 7 month layoff could make him rusty.
Add in Alistair Overeem, Ray Sefo, and Sergei Kharitonov in Strikeforce and that's 6 current or former K-1 fighters competing in major American MMA promotions in the upcoming months. Definitely should be some exciting fights to watch.
