Carnival Cruise Ship Remains Stranded At Sea After Engine Fire
By: Stephen Crews
Updated: November 9, 2010
A U.S. Coast Guard cutter has reached a damaged Carnival cruise ship stranded off the western coast of Mexico since early Monday morning, with nearly 4,500 passengers and crew onboard after an engine-room fire.
Two Coast Guard officers are now onboard the ship to help ensure the passengers' safety until two tugboats chartered by Carnival arrive and are able tow the ship to a Mexican port. The tugboats are expected to arrive midday today. Carnival confirmed that three people on the ship were treated in the ship's infirmary for panic attacks, and a Coast Guard spokesman said no major medical problems had been reported. No one was injured in the fire. The Carnival Splendor, a 113,000-ton behemoth, suffered an engine fire early Monday morning that knocked out the ship's power, including air conditioning, hot food service, flushing toilets and telephones, Carnival said in a statement. The fire was extinguished in about three hours. The Coast Guard had boarded the ship while it was still in port in California the day before the fire, ABC News has learned, but a Coast Guard spokesperson declined to comment on the purpose of the visit because it is part of the investigation into the fire. "I can't say about that specific cruise ship, but the Coast Guard regularly conducts safety and security boardings aboard all sorts of vessels," USCG spokesperson Petty Officer Pamela Manns told ABC News. "It's part of how we do business." In a Facebook posting Sunday evening, Carnival's senior cruise director John Heald complained that the Coast Guard was conducting tests of the ship's generators and had shut down the elevators.

My 16 year old grand daughter is a cheerleader and I'd like to film her competitions! They are so much fun to watch! Thanks for the chance.
hondaray6 at hotmail dot com
Of course if I had it right now I'd be filming the 6 eagles flying over the river outside my window! Beautiful sight this morning! ;-)Oh wow, what a generous giveaway! I'd love to film my honeymoon to Hawaii with this! My fiance and I are on a very tight budget and have saved for our honeymoon trip. We are very excited to take such a lavish, fun trip together after we're married, and document our time spent there. It'd be so nice to have something like this to take on our trip, to show our family and friends the places we went, and to just be able to look back and remember such a special time.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Cliff averted, it's on to the next fiscal crisis
Onward to the next fiscal crisis. Actually, several of them, potentially. The New Year's Day deal averting the "fiscal cliff" lays the groundwork for more combustible struggles in Washington over taxes, spending and debt in the next few months.
00Heres some news for Congress...JohnEfrom the seniors who subsist on the meager SS payments and the even more meager COLA increases...if you, Congress, vote to cut the annual percentage increases SS recipients recieve to cover the raise in inflation...then the next time your election comes around, you can kiss your big fat ugly butt goodbye as a member of Congress. For decades the Congress stool money from the SS Trust Fund and inexchange hands out almost worthless IOUs, for the sole purpose of covering up the hugh budget deficiets to fund two wars, tax breaks for the rich and payroll tax holidaysamong others, and now they want to cut benefits. I am telling you right now, if Congress does this, they can all plan on joining the unemployment line. Sure cut the 1.7 % increase to half that..you tell me how that works. You get less than a $50 dollar a month increase, thats $600 dollars a year to cover engery costs and food costs that are skyrocketing and then add on increaes to Medicare...Congress, you try living on that as many American do...d amn you all to h ell.34831{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0COLAFED_UPSS was not created to be ones PRIMARY retirement income source. It is supposed to be the third leg of your retirement income stool. The other two legs are supposed to be your; savings, 401K, and other investments. Hearts and flowers for those who have not realized this until the day before retirement.34843{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }34831Thats absolutely true but thats not...JohnEthe way it has worked out. Many many seniors depend soley on their SS payments to survive on. In fact most of them. And now the situation is even worse with so many individuals forced into early retirement due to the unemployment situation and the foreclosure problems...many lost eveything they saved to try and save their homes. Many expected to work and were forced out of work and then could not get back into the market because of their age. Most Americans have savings of less than $25K....so its fine for those who avoided the clamities of the recent past but thats not true for most retirees..so you want 60M seniors living on the street or going hungery for no fault of their own...SS has mutated into the primary source of income whether you like it or not, thats a fact. When you chain the CPI you are in effect, taking the bread from their mouths...hearts and flowers dont put heat in a home, food in a cupboard or a roof over their heads..its immoral and unethical to hold the very poor hostage to the malficeance and criminal misconduct of Congress. Which I assume if fine with you...34845{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }34843Dependent on Social Security?Radar TechI figured out back in my 20's that Social Security was a Ponzi scheme. I'm 49 now and have been saving and investing for over 20 years. Sure, I took a hit from stocks, just like everyone else (except I was watching and pulled money out quick and only lost 5%). I bought my house (it's true, it is small and old) under market and still owe less than it is worth, despite the value "growing" and then "shrinking" recently. I drive a 9 year old car and my wife's used mini-van is 7 years old. We fix them rather than buy new. We shop a lot at discount and second hand stores. God willing, we will have enough for retirement without Social Security. The Boomer generation seems to have partied all the way to retirement years and now they want everyone else to be responsible for them. Have you ever heard the old Cricket and the Ant fable? You crickets want us ants to have less during the winter so that YOU can continue to fiddle and dance while we work. News flash - grow up and be responsible for your own finances. Don't blame the government for not planning a retirement for you. It's called being an adult. Try it. It has it's challenges, that is true, but it is very rewarding to your self esteem to earn your own way in life. Are you "retired" but cannot make it on Social Security alone? Well, apply for a job somewhere. Take up a hobby that pays you, like wood working, gardening, play the piano or guitar at a cafe for tips, collect bottles and cans. Don't sit there and complain - DO something productive. Babysit for a fee. Deliver newspapers. If you are truly disabled, fine, we'll help you. Other than that, if you aren't happy with SS money being enough, DO something about it besides whining to my generation that we need to pay more taxes to support you.34931{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }34845Does anyone know what they are doing.PAULEThis new formula will only be as good as it keeps COLA's low. When it starts to work the way they did not want like the current one we will hear stories from the law makers. All of our cost of living only went up 1.7% right???34896{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0

Waiting for a MeeGo: Intel and Nokia to Open Repository
Following the announcement in February, the subsequent weeks were pretty quiet around the MeeGo mobile platform. The reason why: no code.
If it were up to Intel and Nokia, we'd be seeing the first devices with the new platform around the end of year. MeeGo is a merge of Maemo and Moblin. However, there's been a general silence about it since the announcement mid-February, with no nice screenshots or source code publicly available.
One reason for the silence is the particularities of the merger. While Intel meant its Moblin platform primarily for netbooks and smartphones based on its Atom processor, Nokia's Maemo and its related devices are based specifically on the ARM platform. Many Maemo fans thus fear that Maemo will get short shrift in relation to Moblin. That this is not the case was raised rather vehemently by Valtteri Halla, coleader of the MeeGo technical steering group, in a blog the beginning of March. According to Halla, Nokia's N900 will serve as a reference design next to Intel's Atom motherboards for MeeGo development. Work is supposedly being done at a high pitch to get the first MeeGo release out by the end of March.
Big tickets
While ARM and x86 are being developed in parallel, the merger required three commonalities, which Hallas describes as the "big ticket items":
- Qt should be implemented as the widget set (which is no surprise after Nokia's takeover of Trolltech). Maemo was originally based on the Gtk widget set, but a transition to Qt was already planned for MeeGo from the start.
- The package manager should transition from apt-get to RPM (or yum), which Intel had been advocating, a decision with a direct bearing on the third big ticket item:
- The build environment. For this, the three partners, Intel, Nokia and the hosting Linux Foundation, settled on the OpenSUSE Build Service. Intel had already integrated Moblin into the build service with some success.
What's ahead?
Before code can be released, a common code basis and repository are needed. Recently the MeeGo team requested from the steering group to form a repository working group that would be responsible for managing the public repository.
Then there are a number of smaller ticket items to discuss. As Hallas writes, some agreement prevails as to using X.org as the X server, Connman as the network manager, Gstreamer, D-Bus and the commonly developed Ofono telephony solution. Another item under discussion is the browser. While some developers are already working on Firefox Fennec for MeeGo, Arjan van de Ven, on the MeeGo developer list, is advocating Webkit or Chrome for better performance reasons:
"I would be seriously concerned about using either Firefox or Fennec on a mobile device. Looking at the current ecosystem, it's very clear that webkit is winning on the small side of the hardware world, and on the big side, it's making big strides as well with Chrome. While I don't want to discourage discussion, I think taking one step back and wondering if Fennec is the right choice in the first place would be very appropriate...."
A compromise solution being considered is using Webkit to access the Web, then Fennec or some other as the standard browser. Once these details are cleared up and the source packages are ready, we can count on a first test version. If this can occur by end of March is questionable based on the ongoing discussion, so we'll likely hear more about it in April.

Turbines aged 10 years or over are found to experience an O&M cost increase of up to 25% (Wind Energy Updates EOW Options Report 2012), resulting in owner/operators being forced to analyse their post-warranty strategy and fully assess their O&M options
LONDON (PRWEB) January 18, 2013
This comes as a record $40 billion worth of wind projects are due to leave their warranty phase in 2013, placing O&M managers and asset directors under pressure to ensure they hit projected yield targets with a consistently low OPEX. With many US wind farms approaching the end of their warranty phase, there has been a surge in interest in the strategies and technology to maximise wind yield post warranty. Keeping OPEX costs low is notoriously difficult with older windfarms, but this doesn't deter many operators from leaving the comfort of an OEM warranty service package. "There are numerous success stories in this area", points out Joe Dalton Asset Operations Manager at leading UK operator Mainstream Renewable Power. It is essential that personnel are equipped with the appropriate skill sets, however.
Wind Energy Update's 5th O&M Summit (9-10 April, Dallas) takes place with an exclusive focus on defining a post-warranty maintenance strategy from both a commercial and a technical viewpoint. With insight from E.ON, EDF, GL Garrad Hassan and many more, it is exclusively designed for O&M and asset managers seeking to maintain and improve energy yield in post-warranty wind projects.

New York City, March 15, 2002, Baoule Music proudly announces a Lenora Zenzalai Helm new CD recording, Precipice. Helm will celebrate the CD release with a performance on Sunday, April 7th, 7:30 pm at Joe's Pub at the Public Theatre, 425 Lafayette Street, NYC. Helm will also appear at the Cape May Jazz Festival, Cape May, NJ in Carney's Main Room on Saturday, April 20th from 9 :00 p.m - 1:00 a.m. Helm will perform at both events with pianist Brandon McCune, bassist Tassilli Bond, drummer Nasheet Waits and trumpeter Duane Eubanks.
Recently noted by Dr. Billy Taylor as a .."highly imaginative, adventurous musician who .uses all of her exceptional gifts to push the envelope .", Helm brings her vocal, arranging, lyric writing and composition talents to this recording. Her third release, Precipice, features a stellar trio of notables; Stanley Cowell, piano; Tarus Mateen, bass; and Nasheet Waits, drums; and guest trumpeter, Duane Eubanks. The release has twelve selections: three of Helm's original compositions, two lyric collaborations with composer/pianist Andrew Hill and saxophonist Branford Marsalis, and Helm's arrangements of jazz standards. Guest arranger/pianists Brandon McCune and Terence Conley round out the recording's samplings.
Helm is a former U.S. Jazz ambassador (1999) and with over 300 individual educational residencies and performances in the last twelve months, is a much sought after teaching artist and jazz educator. She is a vocal jazz instructor at Nassau BOCES Cultural Arts performing arts high school in Syosset, Long Island; teaches recorder and classical music appreciation for Carnegie Hall's LinkUP! program with fourth and fifth graders in NYC public schools; and provides educational performances on jazz history and residencies on jazz history and songwriting and composition to grades K-12 for Young Audiences/New York.

I kinda think that whole thing was orchestrated. Anyway, I was not surprised at the result, although I thought Marquez would bring more to the table. He looked like a midget standing in there with PBF. Now we will see Floyd take on some dangerous fights, be it Mosley, Pac, Cotto, whoever. He owes the IRS money, there is no greater motivation than that. His next two fights will determine in my eyes whether he truly is an all time great.Originally Posted by b_joseph

I actually thought he did a good job last night - and I liked him on the radio - but my hate (or dislike) comes from the fact that he replaced the legend that is Larry Merchant.Originally Posted by Rui
As for this fight, I'll preface this by saying Mayweather is obviously a very talented boxer... That said, he is the biggest fraud ever. Taking this fight was a joke. Marquez is not in the class of Mayweather and is nowhere near the best at this weight. Who cares about a top 147 pound boxer beating a smaller Marquez?
And of course, there is the whole weight issue. The fact that Mayweather wouldn't go down to 144 pretty much voids the fight in my opinion. Was he that concerned that he couldn't guarantee he'd beat a smaller and weaker opponent that he had to cheat to make sure he had the extra 2 pound advantage too?
If he wants to prove he's the best, he can fight a Shane Mosley or a Miguel Cotto. I guess everyone wants to see Pacquiao, and if Pacquiao beats Cotto he deserves that fight, but I definitely think Cotto will win that. And then PBF will do what he normally does - duck.
I mean, people knew that Brown was out there, and that Randy was ornery all the time. And Pavano is whoever he is. But if youre their manager, you cant go out and write about them like that.
To quote the only true thing Floyd has ever said, he talks too much.Originally Posted by Rui
Constantly interupting and cutting off Floyd's answers (who cares that he wasn't answering the way Max wanted) and then doing his best to ruin the post-fight drama (I don't care how staged most of it was). He makes it all about himself. I don't believe people tune in to watch him try to extract a confession from the people he interviews, which is all he tries to do. He ruined Paulie Malignaggi's great rant the other day too.
There is no need to reinvent the wheel, even though most boxing insiders are trying to do this since the rise of mma. There is something to be said for allowing fighters to become over the top characters that make you invest emotionally in the drama of their fights. Kellerman's totalitarian style of interviewing kills this.
He also looked weak as hell when he almost cried after Mayweather called him out and was reduced to just begging for "Jim...". His defense of his interview afterwards was lame too.
I think Pac will beat Cotto handily...Pac's movement, speed, and power will undo him. As far as PBF goes, I think he's at the point in his career where he realizes that he can no longer duck dangerous opponents and has to now make fights that the fans want to see. He didn't do so well outside of the ring...and at the age of 32 I think he realized that if he wants to keep walking around with 10 g's of cash in his pocket that he needs to take on all comers.Originally Posted by JeffWeaverFan

He is so fundamentally sound right now...you just dont see many guys like this.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
He's always been fundamentally distinguished but he doesn't have the same respect of a guy like Hopkins, who fought all comers. I think it's safe to say that pre-retirement, PBF did a little cherry picking. I think he's always been talented, but he places himself among the all time greats. Now we will see if he truly is. Sorry, but headline wins over the likes of Baldomir and Gatti don't quite cut it.Originally Posted by b_joseph

The first time I remember Max cutting Floyd off was when Floyd began to thank his sponsors -- and nobody wants to hear him do that. He may have killed the postfight drama between Mayweather and Mosley, or it could've been the producers telling him to do so from his earpiece.Originally Posted by Bambino22
But I find that there's a double standard whenever Max is interviewing someone. Had Larry Merchant done the same thing, people would've been excusing it to good ol' Larry being Larry. But when Max does it, he's too strict and needs to let the fighters talk more.
Floyd's already an all-time great. I don't think you can really dispute that. He's ahead of Hopkins in terms of legacy by most people's accounts. Floyd was the lineal champion at 130, 135, and 147 as well as undefeated despite facing some solid guys in his career. He's easily one of the 50 greatest fighters of all-time at this point in his career.Originally Posted by PlsDontTearDownY.S.
But he has a chance to place himself alongside the 10 greatest fighters of all-time alongside guys like Sugar Ray Robinson, Harry Greb, Roberto Duran, Willie Pep, etc. Meanwhile, Pacquiao is also one of the greatest 50 fighters of all-time right now. That's what makes a potential Pacquiao/Mayweather fight so significant. The winner will be regarded as one of the top 20 greatest fighters ever.
I agree he is top 50 but to hear Floyd talk about it, you would think he is top 10. He is not that right now, which is what I am getting at with my criticism. I realize relentless self promotion is necessary with boxing in its current state but please, when you're fighting Gatti and Baldomir while guys like Mosley, Cotto, Margarito (nobody knew he was cheating) and Paul Williams are out there does not strike me as the way a true all time great does it.Originally Posted by Rui

Holy crap was I insanely wrong. I need to stop drinking.Originally Posted by Rui
Pre Jose Luis Castillo, Floyd was the man and it looked like he was going to be top 5 all time. But then he realized HBO would pay him to fight bums like Brussels and that's where we are now. Just like Roy Jones, the fights were out there for Floyd but he chose to take the safe route. I don't blame him it's his choice, I just feel robbed as a fan because I would have loved to see Floyd fight Margarito or Mosley or Pac Man. He has a chance to still fight Mosley and Manny and I really hope he does. I still think Sweat Pea Whitaker was the better fighter of our generation.Originally Posted by Rui
Floyd, ahead of Hopkins? Not sure about that, Hopkins dominated the middleweights and his wins over Tarver and Pavlik while he was in semi-retirement were damn impressive. And he beat your avatar pretty good too.

I would agree. Whitaker is a top 20 fighter, Floyd is in the 30-40 range.Originally Posted by Nth Man
Floyd facing the winner of Cotto/Pacquiao means a lot more to his legacy than fighting Mosley. Once Floyd decisions Mosley, people are going to say Mosley is shot.
Depends on what Mosley shows up.Originally Posted by Rui
Floyd is easily ahead of Hopkins.Originally Posted by Nth Man
Hopkins was convincingly beaten by Roy Jones when both of them were green and Hopkins followed that up with 20 middleweight defenses against medicore (at best) opposition with 2 former welterweights in between in Trinidad and De La Hoya. I never thought too highly of Tarver and we'll have to see if Pavlik is all that he's cracked up to be when he fights Williams.
And did you really think Hopkins beat Wright convincingly? It was a very close fight -- I had it a draw as did Harold Lederman. Care to post your scorecard up?
If the Mosley who fought Margarito showed up and still got outboxed by Mayweather, people would still discredit Floyd's win by claiming that Mosley was way past his prime.Originally Posted by Nth Man
It's one thing to look fast against Margarito -- he's one of the slowest welterweights out there. I didn't see Shane look all that quick against Cotto. It's all relative.
Pavlik is bigger then Paul Williams and has power. Paul, well he throws a lot. That fight is a mismatch in my eyes. Williams has never had to punch up.Originally Posted by Rui
I disagree. I think Williams beats Pavlik.Originally Posted by Nth Man
Just because Williams has never faced a fighter taller than him doesn't mean once he does, he's just going to choke. He's way faster than Pavlik, has the superior workrate, has the superior stamina, and has actually looked good against a top middleweight the past 2 years.
Didn't say Williams would choke. Pavlik is the bigger stronger fighter. I give him a big advantage. And no way are you telling me Winky was still a top middleweight when Paul beat him. Wright hasn't won a fight since he beat a blown up junior middleweight in 2006. Please tell me you are related to Winky.Originally Posted by Rui
If anyone has the time, I would love to see a few peoples lists of their top 50 fighters.
Its something you dont really see that often. People talk about greats but never really list them up.

That's tough since footage of so many of the greats is hard to get access too. I guess you can go on reputation.Originally Posted by b_joseph
Name me 5 middleweights that you would've rated higher than Wright coming into the Williams fight.Originally Posted by Nth Man
You have Pavlik, Abraham, and that's about it. You could make a very weak case for Sturm. Yeah, Wright was inactive. But he gave Hopkins a very close fight in his previous bout, despite what you said about Wright being beat up by Hopkins (I'd still like to see your scorecard, by the way). Obviously Williams doesn't count because he had never fought at that weight before prior to facing Wright. Middleweight was and still is an awful division aside from Pavlik and Williams.

You are seriously underrating Miguel Cotto - who is much, much bigger than Pacquiao. Cotto is an awesome boxer and the only time he ever has lost is when he was facing a Margarito who had plastic wrapped underneath his gloves. Pacquiao (who I love) has never fought anyone in the same class as Cotto at this weight. His two other fights at 147 were against a washed up De La Hoya and an extremely overrated Hatton (at 140).Originally Posted by PlsDontTearDownY.S.
And we'll see on Mayweather. I think Mayweather (probably rightly) believes that he's the main attraction so he can pick the guy he fights and still get a ton of money. He'll need to continue to fight though given his money issues, and I can't think of another guy except Manny, Mosley, or Cotto, so it'll be interesting how it works out.
I mean, people knew that Brown was out there, and that Randy was ornery all the time. And Pavano is whoever he is. But if youre their manager, you cant go out and write about them like that.

Damn, after seeing Floyd own Marquez I'm really worried about Pacman facing PBF. I may be underrating Manny but it's hard to fight someone who's taller and impossible to hit. But Manny is trained by the BEST so if he executes his game plan then he should win.
It won't be easy but if there's someone who can pull it off it's Manny.

"I don't think it's going to happen," Pacquiao said. "I'm sure he doesn't want to fight."
"Boxing for him is like a business," Pacquiao said. "He doesn't care about the people around him watching. He doesn't care if the fight is boring, as long as the fight is finished and he gets [plenty of] money. ... I want people to be happy. You have a big responsibility as a boxer."

Instant replay making debut in Nevada
When the referee can use replay is also limited in scope.
"It can only be used to review something when a fight is stopped due to an injury," Kizer said. "They can only use it to review what caused that fight-ending injury. If you do see replay used, it will probably be either to determine if a clash of heads or a punch caused the end of the fight. There are times when we'll see a big cut open up and a fight is immediately stopped. The referee can use replay to determine if it was caused by a butt or a punch."
The other likely scenario in which replay could be employed would be if a punch caused the end of a fight but it was unclear if the punch landed before or after the bell.
Kizer pointed out that if a fighter was cut early in a round, after which the referee makes an immediate ruling on how it happened, and that injury forced the bout to be stopped later in the round or even a few rounds later, it could not be reviewed.
"It has to be immediate," Kizer said.
Replay also will not be used to determine if a knockdown was caused by a punch or was a slip.
If there is no definitive video evidence showing what caused a fight-ending injury, the referee's original call will stand, just like when a referee makes a call in the NFL.
"If the instant replay is unclear, the play stands and you're in no worse shape than you were without having it," Kizer said. "It can only be a positive thing."

One must know pain to be a hero.
BB55's Primer: Firepower - Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto
Even though Miguel Cotto holds the WBO Welterweight title and the title will be on the line in a catchweight at 145-lb., Manny Pacquiao is still the favorite to win this fight.
Why? With a win against Cotto, Pacquiao becomes the first boxer in boxing history to win a world title in seven different weight classes and also a future mega bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Also, Manny keeps the moniker as the Henry 'Hank' Armstrong of this era.
If Cotto wins, the Puerto Rican gets a shot at Floyd Mayweather Jr.
What do I think will be the keys to the fight?
Well, I think ring generalship is going to be one of the keys.
- I think for Pacquiao to win this fight, the Filipino slugger needs to use the same strategy like in his knockout wins over Erik Morales and Oscar De La Hoya: keep the fight in the center of the ring and use your head movement and footwork to get away from the ropes and use your speed and outside angles to your advantage. Also, if Pacquiao goes to the ropes and trap Cotto, go to the body.
- For Cotto, he needs to trap Pacquiao along the ropes and in the corner and smother him so Pacquiao can't get out. With that tactic, Cotto can use his body shots especially his left hook to the body a la 'The Babyface Assassin' Marco Antonio Barrera. Pacquiao's durability hasn't been tested at this weight class and he has been knocked out before with a body shot. Just ask Medgoen Singsurat when the Thai knocked down and stopped Pacquiao with a body shot during the Pacman's days as a flyweight fighter.
Another key is versatility.
- There is no question that Pacquiao went from a simple 1,2 double jab and a deadly left cross, straight left hand fighter to a fighter who can do anything especially using his right hand and head movement and footwork. However against Cotto, he needs to use the same tools especially using a counter right like he did against another body puncher Ricky Hatton because that left hook to the body will come anytime, anywhere and at any moment.
- For Cotto, he can adapt as the fight goes along including switching stances like he did against Joshua Clottey and 'Sugar' Shane Mosley. Like Oscar De La Hoya, he has a powerful left hook. Unlike the Golden Boy, Cotto is in his prime. Like Ricky Hatton, he has very good body work. Unlike the Hitman, Cotto is a better tactician and counterpuncher. Counterpunchers can give Pacquiao problems like Juan Manuel Marquez.
And I think mental toughness will play a factor.
- Along with facing a fighter who is in his prime and is a bigger, more well-rounded 147-lb fighter in Cotto, Pacquiao had to face distractions throughout his career. Not only Pacquiao did TV shows with GMA and running for a political seat, but also he held training camp in the Philippines before coming to the WildCard Gym in Hollywood.
- As for Cotto, he also faced tough times with the firing of Evangelista Cotto and his brutal and controversial loss (over the illegal handwraps) to Antonio Margarito. If Cotto loses to Pacquiao, I don't know if he will be able to recover.
BB55's Prediction: Cotto does have the edge in the power game and will give Pacquiao a much tougher test in the Welterweight division. However, I think Pacquiao's speed and purposeful energy will give Cotto a huge test. Both wills will be tested. Both are hungry for a future fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
In the end, I think Pacquiao will edge out Cotto in the end in a tough, brutal war to become the first boxer in boxing history to win seven world titles in seven weight divisions.

Good preview BB55. I agree with your points and your predicition, give or take a round. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Cotto's game; he's powerful, deceptively quick and he showed great boxing skills against Mosley. But I do think he tends to get hit a little too much. I think this will be his downfall.

Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony will be among those traveling to Rome next month to participate in a papal conclave to elect a successor to retiring Pope Benedict XVI.
The 210-member College of Cardinals elects the pope, but only those under age 80 can participate in the secret election.

As a member of the College of Cardinals, Mahony recalled the April 2005 conclave in which he helped elect the German-born pope.
"I recall so clearly his words when he told the cardinals that he was choosing the name Benedict because of his fondness for the prayerfulness and the Rule of St. Benedict, and also because Pope Benedict XV served during a time of turmoil and wars across the world," Mahony said.
The previous Pope Benedict served from 1914-20.
The current pope, who cited failing strength of mind and
Mahony said he looked forward to thanking the pope in person "and to participate in the conclave to elect his successor."
During the 8:10 a.m. Mass at St. Mel Catholic Church in Woodland Hills, Msgr. Helmut Hefner had planned to give his sermon
Instead, he read from the pope's statement of resignation announcement, and asked that worshippers "take him at his word" that he's stepping aside because of advanced age.
After Mass, parishioners Kodjoe and Eucharie Omoruyi expressed disappointment at the resignation of the 85-year-old pope.
"I was surprised, but I think he should stay," said Eucharie, holding her 16-month-old daughter, Natalie.
Geri Buttke praised Pope Benedict's leadership and credited him for having the humility to resign when he felt he could no longer fulfill his duties.
"He tried to bring back more traditional aspects of the church, rather than all the secularism that has crept into just about everything," she said.
She believes Pope Benedict's successor will face the challenge of bringing together a fragmented and troubled church.
"He's going to have one tough job," she said.
Buttke also said she had mixed feelings that Mahony will be representing Los Angeles Catholics in electing the pope.
He was publicly rebuked by Archbishop Jose Gomez following revelations that he'd deliberately shielded priests who had molested children.
However, the stripping of all "administrative and public duties" does not extend to his responsibilities as cardinal.
Mahony has repeatedly apologized for failing to report the sex abuse to police and to remove the priests from their ministry.
Some parishioners arriving at St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church in Fontana were nervous about what the future holds.
"I can't believe what's happened. It's kind of scary, I think," said Susanna Espinoza, an official at St. Joseph.
The concern from Espinoza, a lifelong Catholic, didn't end there. He pondered the future. "What's going to become of our religion?" she said.
Some parishioners hoped that there would be prayers for the Pope's health. Others hadn't even heard the news of the Pope's resignation.
The Rev. Guillermo Martinez heard the news on the Pope from a parishioner after morning Mass.
The Pope's resignation came as a surprise, but he says he's not worried about the future of the church. "There is no concern because we have good candidates to be the Pope," he said.

Tursunov is also the 11th first-time title winner on the ATP circuit in 2006. The title run included back-to-back victories over top seed Tommy Robredo in the semifinals and third seed Berdych in the final.
"I was up two breaks in the third set and still went to the tie-break, so it was definitely nerve wracking, but I'm really happy that I won and just really hope that it won't go into a tie-break in the third set in a final again," said Tursunov who plays with a Flexpoint Prestige MP.

Amazing Story | Story of a Bird and Sufyān ath-Thawrī [rahimahullaah]
Amazing Story | Story of a Bird and Sufyān ath-Thawrī [rahimahullaah]
Imām al-Dhahabī mentions the following story in his entry for Sufyān ath-Thawrī:
"ʻAlī b. ʻAbd al-ʻAzīz said, Arim narrated to us saying, I went to Abū Manṣūr to visit him, he said to me,
'Sufyān resided in this house, and there was here a nightingale belonging to my son. He (Sufyān) said, 'Why is this locked up (in a cage)? It should be freed.' I said, 'It belongs to my son, and he gives it to you as a gift.' Sufyān said, 'No, I will give him a dinar for it.' He said, 'He then took it and freed it, and it would go out and return in the evening, and would be at the far end of the house. When Sufyān died, it followed his funeral procession and was flying over his grave. After this on some nights it would go to his grave, and sometimes would spend the night there, and sometimes would return back home. They then found it dead by his grave and it was buried alongside Sufyān."'
[al-Fawā'id al-Gharrah, 3/281]

Ibnul Qayyim–(rahimahullaah) – said, "Deeds without sincerity are like a traveler who carries in his water-jug dirt. The carrying of it burdens him and it brings no benefit."
Ibn Mas'ud –(radiyallaahu 'anhu) – would advise his students, "If your intention is one of these three, do not seek knowledge: To shame the ignorant, or to argue with the Fuqahaa' (scholars), or to cause people to turn their faces in your direction. Intend with your actions and words that which is with Allaah, for indeed that which is with Allaah shall remain and everything else shall perish."

Listen to the Noble Qur'aan
What or who is Salaf?
The manhaj (methodology) of the Salaf is to adhere to the Qur'aan and the authentic Sunnah as understood by the Salaf as-Saalih.
The word Salaf is a shortened version of the word 'Salaf as-Saalih', which means the 'Righteous Predecessors'.
It refers specifically to the first three generations of Islaam in which the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) described as being the best generations of Muslims. The first, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and his Sahaabah (companions). The second, the Taabi'een (the followers of the companions). The third, the Tabaa'at-Taabi'een (the followers of the followers of the companions).
Generally, this term refers to all those pious predecessors who followed the way of the Salaf and who have preceded us in time. This is the true manhaj of Ahl as-Sunnah wa al-Jamaa'ah.

Jen Matlack's husband teases her about buying organic. It's not worth the extra money, he says, but she insists.
A new study promises to add fuel to their marital quarrel. Published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, it finds that organic produce has no more vitamins and minerals than conventionally grown produce.
Mark one point for the hubby.
But the study also confirms that organic produce is less likely to contain pesticides, the real reason Matlack says she buys organic.
"We did find that organic produce, so fruits and vegetables, had a 30% lower risk of contamination with pesticide residues compared to conventional produce," said Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler of Stanford University, the lead study author.
The study, which used data from hundreds of previous studies, also looked at pork and chicken.
Researchers found a 33% greater risk of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in non-organic pork and chicken, which they say "may be related to the routine use of antibiotics in conventional animal husbandry."
They also found higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in organic milk and chicken.
"There are certain things I refuse to buy conventionally, knowing that there are a lot of chemicals in them," said Matlack, who has a 6-year-old daughter. "I feel like a better mom buying these particular foods."
And it's not for nothing.

Here we describe TSAP, a new thermosensitive alkaline phosphatase. TSAP is active in all Promega restriction enzyme buffers, including MULTI-CORE™ Buffer, as well as both GoTaq® Buffers. The robust phosphatase activity effectively dephosphorylates all DNA termini (5´, 3´ and blunt) in 15 minutes at 37°C. As TSAP is active in restriction enzyme buffers, using TSAP offers the potential for simultaneous restriction digestion/dephosphorylation. Promega TSAP is thoroughly tested to ensure functionality and physical purity.

What if someone tells you that a kind of coffee can be your key to weight loss? No, it's not a bad joke; green coffee is a potion that can take away your weighty woes. Don't expect the taste to be as good as that of the regular coffee, but I guess this is a small price that anyone would be ready to pay for a slimmer and healthier body. The problem of taste has also been taken care of by some companies, who have come up with green coffee beans extract pills. Believe it or not, these pills are selling like hot cakes in the market. This natural weight loss remedy has come into picture at a time when the market is filled with poor quality weight loss medications and gizmos. Some of these are potent of doing more harm than good to your health. Green coffee beans extract is a naturally occurring substance which is obtained from the raw, unroasted form of the regular coffee. Green coffee beans are rich in a compound called chlorogenic acid, which is responsible for all the goodness that it has to offer. This compound acts by inhibiting the absorption of glucose in the body. As the glucose absorption in the body comes down, it starts to depend on the fat reserves to fuel its energy requirements. The chlorogenic acid also improves the metabolic rate of the body. This means that once you start having the green coffee beans your body will start to burn more calories even when you are at rest. This way, it not only helps you to lose weight but also to maintain a healthy weight by disallowing fat build up. It makes you look slimmer, healthier and more beautiful. Not only is the green coffee beans extract helpful in weight loss, but it also offers numerous other health benefits. It helps bring down the blood sugar levels in those suffering from diabetes. Diabetics benefit not only from the reduced blood glucose levels, but also from weight loss. It is also said to improve the liver functioning, if had on a regular basis. With so many benefits that green coffee beans extract has to offer, it is hard not to try this amazing product. Those people who are averse to using any weight loss products for the fear of side effects can stay assured that green coffee beans extract is a product that is completely safe for consumption. Millions of people worldwide have tried this product, and have benefitted immensely. No side effects have been reported so far. The product has been clinically tested, and its efficacy and safety has been established using various experiments. It is vital that the pills you take contain only the pure form of green coffee beans extract. Check out this link to try out green coffee beans. |

Glucose is the chemical name of the sugar molecules in your blood. All the carbohydrates, starches, and sugars that you eat are digested or changed into glucose in your body. The amount of glucose in your blood at any given time is called blood glucose. It is important for your health and mood to have a specific (not too high, not too low) level of blood glucose.
If you have diabetes, you know how important a healthy diet is for managing your blood glucose levels. A healthy diet, along with medicines and regular physical activity, can help keep your glucose levels in check. But what is a healthy diet for someone with diabetes? Could following the glycemic index be the answer?
Understanding the Glycemic Index
The glycemic index is a measure of how your body responds to foods that contain carbohydrates. The glycemic index of a particular food is measured by how much it raises blood glucose levels compared to a reference food—usually glucose or white bread. A food with a high glycemic index raises blood glucose levels more than a food with a low glycemic index.
Determining the glycemic index of a food is not as easy as it sounds. Many factors come into play, like ripeness (eg, ripe bananas have a higher glycemic index than unripe), how a food is cooked, and what else is eaten along with the food. Generally speaking, foods that are high in fiber have a lower glycemic index, and foods that are highly processed have a higher glycemic index.
Here is how some common foods compare:
The Glycemic Index and Diabetes
A lot of research has been done to determine if glycemic index is a useful tool for managing diabetes. So far, the evidence is weak that a low glycemic index diet reduces HbA1c (the measure of glucose levels over the past 2-3 months) or improves glucose level control. But that does not mean that the glycemic index is useless. There are still ways you can use the glycemic index to your advantage.
The glycemic index can be helpful in fine-tuning your food choices. For example, if you want to eat a high glycemic index food, like a ripe banana, balancing your meal with a low glycemic index food, like steel-cut oats, can help to keep your glucose levels in check. But monitoring the glycemic index of your food choices should not take the place of eating a variety of healthy foods. It is also important to remember that portion size plays a role in managing blood glucose.
Counting Carbs Instead
For most people with diabetes, the key to managing blood glucose is carbohydrate counting. Balancing your carbohydrate intake with physical activity and medicines can keep your glucose levels under control. Together, counting carbs and monitoring glycemic index may be helpful in managing blood glucose. For instance, knowing how you respond to high or low glycemic index foods can help you plan your carbohydrate intake and avoid fluctuations in your blood glucose levels. Spreading your carbohydrate intake over the course of the day can also help keep your glucose levels steady.
Is the Glycemic Index for You?
Even though knowing the glycemic index of a food might help you predict how your blood glucose levels will respond, it may not be the answer to all your dietary questions. For one thing, the numbers listed above are not set in stone. The glycemic index of a food will be different for each person who eats it, based on their activity level, age, and how quickly the food is digested. Accounting for all these different factors can be complicated, and health professionals agree that patients are less likely to stick with complicated meal plans. So, while the glycemic index might be helpful, it probably will not be the only consideration.
