So, here is a little secret from my world: I typically write my Monday blog post on Fridays (since one of my Basta! commitments has long been to not work on the weekends unless absolutely necessary). And because I made a commitment this year to not work on my birthday which was Friday, I decided that the best way to handle the Monday blog situation was to republish a past blog. So here's a post from last November (if you haven't been reading the blog that long, you might want to go back and read the Longest October post linked below for reference or this post will not make any sense).
Isn't it suiting that Be Ye Thankful November follows "The Longest October on Record"? So, rather than focus on the sadness, the sleep-deprivation, and the stress of October, I am setting my priorities on giving thanks. After all, studies show that giving thanks allows you to feel more autononmous in your life, improves your health, bolsters your self-esteem (cause you are focusing on the right stuff), and, as I can attest to, helps you cope better with trauma and stress.
For the next four weeks, I am counting my blessings. Periodically, I do this here anyway, but it feels both especially necessary and therapeutic to do it here now. I hope you'll join in by sharing what you've been grateful for in that week when each weekly post pops up. With all of our collective count your blessings energy, we should all go into the holidays with a whole lot of warm and fuziness.
In Give Thanks Edition # 1, I am giving thanks…
1. For my dad's nurses and therapists who have all been really incredible and especially Jeff, the nurse for his first stint in ICU who got called in on Day 1 and stayed with us for five days, even though they are only supposed to work 3 (12 hour) shifts in a week. Jeff was so kind that every time he spoke to me for the first two days, I wept. Seriously, I wept because of his kindness, generosity, and his great compassion. Just the way he treated us was enough to undo me. And he also taught us a very important lesson in the healthcare world: the patient's family deserves information.
2. For the time spent with my mom and dad. As an adult, you rarely get that much uninterrupted, unplanned time with your parents. And I really dig my parents so it was touching to get my mom to and from the hospital each day and then just to sit with her. We had some hysterical conversations (there was an especially funny moment about tattoos and who among us children (and partners) has one. Not I!) and some teary conversations and some stressful conversations, but, through it all, we had each other. It was also nice to spend time with my dad supporting him through setbacks that none of us were expecting but were navigable with compassion, communication with caregivers, and commitment. My dad, even in his 70s and even frail like I've never seen him (some of you know that my dad is a cancer patient- I say patient instead of survivor because his type of cancer is largely incurable; we track time by whether or not it is active in his body. All of us, my dad included, found this experience far more difficult than the considerable time he has spent in active cancer treatment), was still so essentially himself and that was really a beautiful and inspiring thing.
3. For who my siblings are as adults. My sister and I talk everyday- long distance- and so, we are incredibly close, but we rarely have to be sisters at home together, if that makes sense. My brother and I talk largely about athletics and logistics- who is doing what for Thanksgiving, whether or not I can make it to a game he's coaching, whether or not he can make it to a family birthday party. But we all had to come together, use our skills, forgive each other's weaknesses, and put together a plan while giving each other, our partners, and our parents support. We worked well together and continue to do so and I marvel at who we've all become as adults.
4. For BF. BF is an incredibly capable parent and far more able to fly solo for days at a time than I think I am. His effortlessness with Happy and his ability to roll with each setback with grace are just a couple of his fine qualities. As my dad would say, he's a good egg.
5. Our community. In South Carolina, we had so much support from day one. One of my closest friends from childhood had her parents deliver food to us at the hospital (such a thoughtful gift– we ate from that basket for three days!), another childhood bestie arrived on Saturday from Atlanta, my parents friends from all walks of life convened around us in the waiting room, my sister's in laws in South Carolina kept our children for us for the weekend so we could be at the hospital non-stop. Back home (well, home for me in NC), we had all sorts of help when I was in and out of town- from BF's parents to people we don't know all that well dropping off dinner on my sole night back in town over a long stretch. We also had a slew of people offer us their prayers, good thoughts, ears, and arms for hugging. What a gift.
So, that's my first edition of Give Thanks. What's on your Give Thanks list?

There has been much debate as to the effectiveness of Operation Restore Confidence. Since the crime-fighting strategy was launched on January 10 this year, Acting Commissioner of Police Vernon Francois has constantly spoken of the strides being made in combating crime. However, on Friday June 24, Francois gave the tangible facts to back up his opinion.
Corporal Wayne Charlery of the Central Intelligence Unit of the police force presented the media with statistics collected from January to May 2011 and compared it to the same time period of previous years.
Charlery took it a step further by analyzing the current crime phenomena permeating St Lucian society. Charlery explained that although there has been a decrease in several categories of serious crime, the situation is still bleak as more of the nation's youth are pulled into the criminal underworld. One of the main features that have contributed significantly to young people going astray is the "erosion of the family unit as the main building block of our society," Charlery said. As such, these unattached youth are searching for a nurturing environment, somewhere to call home. This vulnerability makes them easy prey to gangs and gang lifestyles."
The island's drug trade is also a major concern for the police force because of the cycle of dependency and illegality it perpetuates.
Charlery defined serious crimes as murder, robbery, stolen motor vehicles, burglary, fraud, extortion, money laundering, narcotics and firearm offenses and noted that these offenses are concentrated in the Castries basin and that has been the case for a number of years.
According to Charlery, there has been a 33.33 percent decrease in firearm offenses this year from January to May compared to the same period last year. Likewise, incidents of stolen vehicles decreased by 22.22 percent, narcotics by 7.14 percent, stealing from persons by 5.26 percent, robbery by 33.52 percent and burglary by 16.59 percent.
The homicide rate has increased by 52.63 percent this year. Police killings also went up by 266.66 percent. March 2011 was a milestone for the police because there were no homicides recorded for that month, something that has not been achieved in over a decade.
When questioned, Francois admitted the statistics were based on reported crime and may not be a true reflection of the country's situation. And though the police have been able to formulate operational strategies to combat serious crimes, they are still at a loss when it comes to incidents of domestic violence.
Said Charlery: "Our major concern in this crime web is domestic violence. Domestic violence remains the dominant causative factor in the commission of murders for the last five years. Law enforcement is handicapped in providing effective intervention to domestic situations where the occurrence of violent crime is likely. Basically our mechanisms and instruments that may prove effective in oppressing general crime have little impact in managing domestic issues and situations where the likelihood of violent crime is high."
Francois spoke to addressing the rising number of domestic violence cases on island. He identified the biggest challenge as changing the mind set of police officers. "We see our role as police officers to ensure that we educate our colleagues on the value of dealing with domestic violence cases," he said. "Usually, police officers tend to think that this is just some people's personal business so they don't want to get involved in it. We're looking at getting some training for them so that they can appreciate the significance of every single crime, whether it's domestic violence or what we consider petty crimes. There are a number of other initiatives that can be taken but that would involve the public as well as government departments playing a role. People have to look at ways and means of resolving conflict such as anger management. These are the problems that result in domestic violence. From a law enforcement perspective, we have to discourage people from using violence to resolve issues they are confronted with."

Kanye West has already made his New Year's resolution — he has promised to make his peace with the paparazzi.
West has been arrested on two different occasions after clashing with photographers.
Police in Newcastle, England, detained West last month after he was accused of pushing a camera into a snapper's face. He was subsequently released without charge.
West and his assistant were also arrested over a similar incident at Los Angeles' LAX airport in September. The pair was charged with felony vandalism after reportedly smashing a snapper's camera, but the charges were later dropped by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office.
And the rapper is adamant that in 2009 he will make more of an effort to be pleasant to photographers.
He tells TMZ.com, "I love you guys. That's my New Year's resolution. Me and the paparazzi."

Because of the size of our haunt and the
amount of visitors we expect, we wanted a professional fog machine capable of outputting
continuous fog in large quantities. We had seen a fog generator demonstrated at the
National Association of Broadcasting Convention that we had been very impressed with. For
it's size and price ($1,495.00) the MiniMAX MM-15 produces large amounts of dense fog continuously,
and has some very nice features.
1980, the MDG Fog/Smoke Generator Company has been devoted to manufacturing top quality,
durable and highly reliable fog and smoke machines, with outputs up to 25,000 cubic feet
per minute. This unit was designed specifically for the entertainment industry. It takes
only a couple of minutes to setup and is very easy to use. It will produce up to 2000
cubit feet of thick white fog per minute, and is light weight and compact, making it very
portable. This unit comes complete and ready to use.
remote control allows for safe and easy control during continuous or momentary fog
production. The desired volume of fog can be obtained by means of the quantity dial. The MiniMAX comes with a twenty-five foot remote control cable and a 7-pin XLR male connector.
Additional cables can be purchased up to 200 feet. Auto cycle is also available.
Another very nice feature is that the electronics of
the MiniMAX are removable. These advanced electronics are assembled onto one panel, and is
easy to remove for fast component replacement. The block heater is also removable for
maintenance and the pump is available in most cities around the world.
The fog fluid sold by MDG is specifically engineered for use in their fog generators.
Their fog juice is available in Dense for thick, long lasting fog or Medium where fog with
a shorter lifespan is required. This safe non-toxic, water-based fog juice is available
from MDG in 2.5 liter bottles or by the case.
We couldn't be happier with the MiniMAX. It is a high quality device that produces large
amounts of very thick fog in either continuous or momentary output mode with the added
option to vary the amount of fog produced. It's remote control comes with a 25 foot long
cable which makes it easy to operate from a distance. It comes complete with a
professional heavy-duty storage case to protect your investment. We found the MiniMAX to
be very reliable and cost efficient. It comes with a 2 year warranty.

On Friday, May 9, at 3 p.m., The Community Health Clinic, in Topeka, will host its second benefit auction. The first auction, held in 2009, raised more than $180,000 for the clinic designed to meet the need for affordable expert medical services that cater to rare diseases common among the Plain Church community.
More than 500 volunteers have been involved in the organization of the fundraiser auction, which will feature a large variety of items, including (partial listing):
A shop building built on site of choice
Storage barns and animal shelters
Buggies, wagons and trailers
Farm equipment, including a hay wagon, bale elevator and neck yokes

A large crowd is expected.
In addition to the auction, there will be free pony rides, train rides and a play area for the kids. Food options include a haystack supper, grilled chicken, pork burgers, sandwiches, kettle corn, pies and ice cream, and a bake sale.
The auction will be held at the Shipshewana Auction & Flea Market in the Antique Building
More than 500 volunteers, in addition to its staff and board of directors, have come together to organize the second fundraising auction to benefit the Community Health Clinic (CHC) in Topeka, Ind. The auction will be held Friday, May 9, 2014, beginning at 3 p.m. in the Antique Building at Shipshewana Auction & Flea Market, 345 S. Van Buren St., Shipshewana, Ind. The building is located 1.25 miles north of US 20 on State Road 5.
A large variety of items will be available for auction. Highlights include a shop building built on purchaser's site of choice, storage barns, buggies, wagons, trailers, farm equipment, shop and hand tools, bicycles, a pony, lawn and garden furniture, lawnmowers, approximately 60 quilts and other blankets, bedroom suites and other household furniture, household appliances, stud services, trees and flowers, fresh and frozen meats, and gift certificates for meals, events, overhead door, camping and more.
In addition to the auction, there will be free pony rides, train rides and a play area for the kids. Food options include a haystack supper, grilled chicken, pork burgers, sandwiches, kettle corn, pies and ice cream, and a bake sale.
The first auction, held in 2009, raised more than $180,000 for the clinic and was used to recruit and retain a talented and highly specialized physician and staff, purchase equipment and establish a location for the clinic. The 2014 auction will allow the clinic staff to continue to provide reduced-cost, specialized medical care to the patients it serves.
"It is truly inspirational to see a community continue to work together to support a very specialized service that would otherwise be a hardship for families who need it," says Jared Beasley, CHC's clinical operations director. "Often, these services are not available outside of major metropolitan areas. The opportunity to seek expert genetics treatment at a reasonable cost right here in northeast Indiana improves the quality of life of many patients."
The clinic's mission is to "provide excellent and affordable medical care consistent with the needs of the Amish, Mennonite and other rural northern Indiana communities, with a focus on individuals and families with special health care needs." The clinic opened last fall and currently serves more than 100 children and adults.
The clinic staff is committed to being a good steward of the health care dollars available to it and seeks to provide care in a way that reflects the values of the Plain Church community. Proceeds from the auction – in addition to proceeds from the clinic's annual Dutch Dinner fundraiser, grants, private donations and revenue from patient visits – allow the staff to provide reduced-cost, well-rounded, high-quality medical care and support services for patients with genetic disorders. It also provides a new opportunity for patients to participate in research that ultimately is expected to improve treatment and outcomes for this patient population.
A current list of items available for auction may be found on the following pages or on the CHC website, IndianaCHC.org. Auction-item donations are still being accepted.
For more information about the auction or donating items, contact any of the committee members:
The Community Health Clinic is open daily. It is led by Zineb Ammous, MD, a physician trained in diagnosing and treating genetic diseases. For more information about or to schedule an appointment at the Community Health Clinic, go to www.IndianaCHC.org or call the clinic at (260) 593-0108

Cort is a guy Sam and Carly hired as an intern (without Freddie's approval) in the episode, iHire An Idiot. He was hired because he is attractive.
However, Cort is referred to as an idiot; he was kicked out of college for being "dangerously stupid." During his time as intern, he ruined many things including Freddie's laptop, Pear-pad, and a future iCarly sketch by eating the raw meat props.
Another scene features Cort playing with a slinky, only for him to get tangled up, even with the help of the other intern Freddie hired, Ashley. He was eventually fired because of his stupidity and incompetence.
At the end of the episode, when he leaves the iCarly studio in the elevator, he comes back up, looking astonished and saying "this is an elevator!"
Cort is again mentioned in iOMG when Brad asks "How are things working out with Cort on iCarly? The gang mumbles and Freddie then says they fired him because he was "dangerously stupid."
Carly thinks that Cort is pretty and beautiful.
Cort is portrayed by Daniel Booko.

In brief: Fenlon savours Celtic scalp
Pat Fenlon hailed his "best result'' since taking over as manager of Hibernian just over a year ago as Leigh Griffiths' 14th goal of the season gave his side a 1-0 victory over Celtic in their Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash at Easter Road.
"That's probably the biggest win since we've been here,'' said Fenlon. "To beat Celtic is a fantastic achievement, after the run they have been on and after qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League, it is a big result.
"I think over the last three or four weeks, people have started to doubt us a little bit so we have answered a few critics.
"We scored a very decent goal. It was a great finish, he still had a lot to do when he went round the 'keeper. Celtic put us under pressure with a lot of balls into our box but I don't think they created too many chances.''
Celtic manager Neil Lennon blamed himself for starting with the wrong tactics. The Hoops boss started with a back three of Efe Ambrose, Thomas Rogne and Kelvin Wilson but changed it to a back four after Griffiths' goal.
"I am disappointed with the goal, obviously, and I am disappointed with my own formation, I will take the blame for that,'' said Lennon. "We had two formations set up and I chose the wrong one by the look of it.''
Tributes to late Tommy Keane
FAI president Paddy McCaul yesterday led the tributes to former Galway United star Tommy Keane, who died suddenly on Friday.
Keane, who was 44, was a member of the Galway United team which won the FAI Cup in 1991 and was named man of the match for his performance in the final against Shamrock Rovers. He collapsed and died after playing in an indoor football tournament in Galway. He is survived by his wife Paula and son Tommy Jnr. "Tommy Keane will always be remembered for the part he played in Galway United's FAI Cup win in 1991," said McCaul.
"He was a great player and news of his death has come as a great shock. On behalf of everybody in Irish football I would like to offer our sympathy to his wife, his son and the rest of his family and friends."
Keane enjoyed spells at Bournemouth and Colchester before returning to Ireland to join Galway United.
Barnsley sack boss Hill
Barnsley have sacked manager Keith Hill and assistant David Flitcroft after their home defeat to Blackburn sent the club to the bottom of the Championship table.
Hill, 43, has come under increasing pressure in recent weeks and earned a stay of execution following his side's St Stephen's Day win at Millwall, but the Tykes slumped to a seventh home league defeat of the season after losing 3-1 to managerless Blackburn.
McCarthy joy at return win
Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy admitted that his side's 2-0 Championship win at former club Wolves was a memorable moment for him.
McCarthy was back at Wolves for the first time since being sacked by the club in February after almost six years in charge.
Goals from left-back Aaron Cresswell and striker DJ Campbell made it a happy return for McCarthy as Ipswich earned their seventh win in 12 games under his control.
"I would be lying if I said it was nothing special because it is,'' said the former Republic of Ireland manager. "My last game here (a 5-1 defeat against West Brom) I had to go out of the back door and I will never forget that. It was a real horrible day for me.
"So to have won and to have had the applause and ovation I got I think shows what most Wolves fans really thought about me as opposed to the minority that would not let me leave by the front door.
"The ones who were singing to get me out are doing it to Stale Solbakken now. Be careful: you might get what you wish for. But that was a lasting memory for me – being on the pitch and being applauded off.
"It was lovely and that is how I would like to remember my time here rather than anything else so thank you to all of them who did that for me today.''
Tigers end the year on a high
Hull's brilliant December ended with a fifth Championship win in six games against Leeds and manager Steve Bruce was left hoping for Premier League football, just a year after being sacked by Sunderland.
City are second, five points behind leaders Cardiff, heading into 2013 and the performance represented an impressive end to the year for the Tigers and in particular manager Bruce, rebuilding his reputation in the second tier after losing his job at the Stadium of Light.
Goals from Corry Evans and David Meyler did the trick and Bruce was understandably elated.
"I have enjoyed the last five or six months here and all I wanted to do was get back to work. I was out of work a year ago, so I'm really pleased," he said.

NDTV Launches 'NDTV MetroNation' for Delhi
NDTV on Tuesday launched 'NDTV MetroNation,' India's first English city channel. NDTV Metro Nation gives Delhi and the NCR a high-end 24-hour channel that covers breaking news, and user-friendly information on where to shop, what to eat, and how to work out. Daily programming includes: traffic reports on routes to avoid during rush hour; shows on Delhi's schools and colleges; and programs on Parenting and Food. The channel will offer four broad genres of programming- News and Current Affairs, Lifestyle, Entertainment and Youth with a contemporary and dynamic team of reporters and anchors covering Delhi with energy and spirit.
"We firmly believe that the future of news lies in going local. Local news is the rule of thumb in America. And in India, NDTV is the first mover. The few vernacular channels that exist for local news in India are quite different in their appeal. This is a high-end easy-access channel aimed at the young Urban Indian" announcing the launch of the channel, Dr. Prannoy Roy, Chairman, NDTV Ltd., said.
Sanjay Nigam, CEO, NDTV MetroNation, said, "Delhi is evolving at a break-neck speed and yet there is no English channel catering exclusively to this vibrant city. NDTV MetroNation will broadcast the non-stop action of Delhi with our young, new and dynamic team of reporters and anchors. The channel will work with our viewers to fight for a city we love. It will showcase the modern Delhi life and the change it is forcing."
NDTV MetroNation pioneers yet another broadcasting benchmark. With its USP of 'Starring Delhi, Every Second, Every Day', the channel will be highly interactive with the MetroNation Bus, the MetroNation Taxi and the MetroNation Helicopter to enable citywide coverage.
For the first time, a channel will operate not out of a studio but out of a bus – "The MetroNation Bus." The customized all-glass MetroNation Bus will move across Delhi, as the anchors will bring in the latest news from different locations with guests hopping on for some brainstorming sessions.
That's not all. A fleet of "MetroNation Taxis" will move around the city to interact with people to gather their thoughts, opinions and confessions to be broadcast live on the channel. The channel will also provide live feeds of traffic reports every twenty minutes, with the help of the Delhi-Heli shot, as the "MetroNation Chopper" shoots aerial pictures of the key parts of the city.
Designed as a highly interactive channel, NDTV MetroNation will partner the top schools of Delhi for the weekly show titled 'I Spy with My Digital Eye'. The show will feature students from different schools with NDTV cameras reporting stories for NDTV. The channel will also offer a show, aptly called, 'This Delhi Life' that will let Delhiites speak their minds and have anchors and experts explore the issues faced by the common man in Delhi. Infotainment shows like 'Let's Go Delhi' will come loaded with entertainment, lifestyle, and other tips in three-hour bands (in the morning and evening prime time) and will guide willing denizens around the NCR. 'A Hipster's guide to Delhi' on the other hand will focus on where the movers and shakers of Delhi frequent and what they do.
With its wide range of programming the channel aims to cater to every age group with programmes ranging across genres and has been presented in a style that will capture the imagination of Delhiites.

LSU vs. Auburn: For Gene Chizik, a Moral Victory Is Possible vs. LSUSeptember 20, 2012
It's a cliche, but it's often true.
"There is no such thing as a moral victory."
However, for Auburn head coach Gene Chizik, there is such a thing this weekend.
Chizik's Tigers have sputtered to a 1-2 record to start the season, and are facing the No. 2 LSU Tigers on the Plains this weekend.
If Auburn can compete, it's certainly a step in the right direction for Chizik and the Auburn program.
Just how bad is it for the Tigers?
New offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler's offense is last in the SEC in total offense (336 yards per game), last in passing offense (160.7 YPG) and last in scoring offense (20 points per game). Meanwhile, first-year defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder's defense is last in rushing defense (217 YPG) and 13th in total defense (442 YPG).
That's not exactly what Chizik had in mind when he brought them in.
The slow start, coupled with a 17-12 record at Auburn in years outside of the magical 2010 national championship run, have brought Chizik's job status into question.
To be clear, barring a total disaster—as in, a 3-9 season—Chizik won't be fired. However, judging from the first three weeks of the season, a total disaster seems more possible for this Auburn team than it did in August.
It's for that reason that a close loss, or a loss in which Auburn executes better than it has in the last two games, would be encouraging against LSU this weekend.
It takes time to break in new systems, and the amount of time varies from program to program, based on situation.
We saw Florida struggle going from the spread to the pro-style last season.
Sure, the Gators' woes were exaggerated by injuries to quarterbacks and the decided schematic advantage that then-offensive coordinator Charlie Weis didn't bring to Gainesville.
However, this year, the Gators look like a different team thanks to the emergence of Mike Gillislee as a reliable every-down back and Jeff Driskel as a legitimate weapon at quarterback.
If Auburn's offense looks better this weekend against an LSU defense that's statistically the best in the SEC (205 YPG), it's absolutely something that Auburn can build on.
If Auburn's defense—particularly the linebackers—show flashes of competence against the vaunted LSU rushing attack (even without Alfred Blue), that's a step in the right direction.
LSU will enter Jordan-Hare Stadium as nearly three-touchdown favorites for a reason. Auburn has been consistently inconsistent on both sides of the football. If that changes this weekend versus LSU, it will be a moral victory for Chizik's crew and send them into the bye week with at least a little bit to look forward to.

I found window.resizeTo(width, height) but the values are absolute that means that it calculates inner window height and outside area with system bars etc.
I look for the way I can do this with firefox.
Thanks for any tip in advance

Strong Support For Boosting Laws Protecting Online Privacy For Kids
redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports - Your Universe Online
An overwhelming majority of Americans support regulations requiring websites to gain parental consent before collecting personal information from children under the age of 13, according to a new survey by the non-profit groups Center for Digital Democracy and Common Sense Media.The survey, released on Thursday, comes ahead of a vote by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on whether to strengthen enforcement of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, a law that sets privacy rules that protect children online.
The results of the survey show overwhelming support for proposed changes in the regulations that would address data-collection practices such as behavioral profiling and mobile tracking.
The survey found that ninety percent of the 2,000 adult participants support the proposal's requirement that website and online service operators get permission from parents before collecting information from children under 13.
Eighty percent of the survey´s participants said they opposed allowing advertisers to collect and use information about a child´s online activities, even when marketers were unaware of the name and address of the child.
Currently, more than 30% of web tracking cookies target kids, the non-profit groups said .
Privacy advocates say COPPA, which was enacted in 1998, has failed to keep up with rapidly evolving technology and the widespread prevalence of data collection, data mining and location tracking on the Web and mobile devices.
"This survey clearly shows that parents not only want COPPA, but they also want the crucial updates the FTC is weighing," said James Steyer, chief executive and founder of Common Sense Media.
"These updates are key to ensuring our kids can reap the benefits of innovation without exploitation."
The proposed rule changes are being fiercely opposed by technology and media giants such as Facebook, Google, Apple, Twitter, Disney and Viacom, who say the changes would be too burdensome and could thwart the ability to provide children with free online resources for education and entertainment.
But Steyer says the survey reveals strong public support for the new rules.
"The results of this poll should be a wake-up call to the industry that parents understand what's at stake for their kids in a digital world, and want the power to protect their children to remain in their hands."
"The industry argues that updates to COPPA will stifle innovation and cost jobs, when in fact, they should respect the role of parents and use it build consumer trust."
The advocacy group change.org is encouraging supporters of tighter online regulations to sign an online petition that will be sent to the FTC. At time of this writing, more than 2,000 people have signed on.
Additional information about the survey, including a summary of findings, full tables and an infographic can be found here.

The Nashville Predators recalled center Blake Geoffrion and defenseman Jonathon Blum on Monday following a three-game stint for each at Milwaukee.
Blum scored two goals and Geoffrion had a pair of assists as the Admirals went 2-1-0 in contests Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which were their final games until after Christmas. Milwaukee was not scheduled to play again until Dec. 26.
The pair flew with the team to Washington, D.C., where the Predators will play the Capitals on Tuesday (6 p.m., Fox Sports-Tennessee).
"We were hoping to re-start [Blum], keep playing him and not [have him] lose confidence," coach Barry Trotz said. "Blake Geoffrion's situation was plain and simple: I wanted to get him started. I don't think he's played particularly great this year and he got injured."
Geoffrion missed six games from Nov. 29 through Dec. 10 with an upper body injury. He also missed time in training camp and the preseason with an injury and had just two assists in 19 games.
He was reassigned to Milwaukee last Tuesday after being activated from the injured list.
"You don't not make the team if you get injured with the team," Trotz said. "Hopefully he's got a little bit traction. … If he doesn't then maybe we revisit it and he gets more traction down there."
Blum was sent down a day earlier than Geoffrion after having been a healthy scratch in two straight contests. He had five points (two goals, three assists), including one game-winning goal, but was a minus-11 in the first 27 contests.
"They'll be able to play [against] Washington," Trotz said.

Election fraud through gerrymandering
Article sponsor: relationships and dating online
Gerrymandering is an often legal form of election fraud that crafty politicians put to use to changes voting districts to their benefit. The term refers to the shaping of electorate boundaries to generate a particular result. For instance, a district could be re-shaped so that all of the African American voters who lean Democratic in an area could end up in one district. The Democrats would then with that particular area in a landslide and all the electoral votes would go to them. However, the other districts in that area would then be more favorable to Republican candidates.
The rules regarding gerrymandering are a bit fuzzy and therefore it's often practiced but no one ends up charged with electoral fraud. Even if someone is clearly remaking electoral districts with the intention of swaying elections it can be difficult to prove that they're doing so. Sometimes gerrymandering slips right under the radar and no one even pays attention. It's a surprisingly effective way of shifting elections though. You can try to prevent gerrymandering as election fraud by paying close attention to these changes and bringing them to the attention of anyone that will listen. News outlets in particular are good because everyone loves a corruption story.

Stampede takes western India's flood toll near 750
By Thomas Kutty Abraham
BOMBAY (Reuters) - At least 18 people died in a stampede in
the flood-ravaged Indian city of Bombay after rumors that a
lake had burst its banks, officials said on Friday.
western India to nearly 750.
Authorities in India's financial hub began shifting debris
to prevent the spread of disease and started counting the cost
of the rains which paralyzed the city for two days and left
tens of thousands of people struggling to return to
water-logged homes.
People in a crowded slum in the north of the city of 15
million rushed out of their homes in pitch darkness late on
Thursday, hearing rumors of floods that turned out to be
"We didn't quite understand what was going on but everyone
was rushing out of their houses and we also followed them," one
young mother told local television. "It was totally dark
outside and in all the commotion a lot of people, especially
women and children, got pushed down and trampled."
Seven children were among the 18 killed in the stampede,
police said. Authorities then used loudspeakers to calm
panic-stricken residents.
"There were rumors of a lake bursting its banks ... and a
tsunami that led to the stampede," a police official said.
Bombay's mayor urged people not to listen to rumors.
"It's easy to scare the people now as they have suffered a
lot due to the flood," Dalvi Dattaji told Reuters.
Relief coordinators put the city's death toll at about 370,
nearly half the total for the western state of Maharashtra.
A landslide at a slum near the Bombay suburb of Andheri
killed at least 67 people, and efforts continued to retrieve
dozens more bodies believed to be buried in the rubble and mud.
"The number may rise, especially in Mumbai (Bombay) and
Thane," the Press Trust of India news agency quoted Maharashtra
Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh as saying. "We are tackling
the situation as a national calamity."
Rescuers were still trying to recover the bodies of an
estimated 100 people buried under an avalanche of mud in the
village of Juigaon, 95 miles south of Bombay.
Newspapers reported that 16 people had died in their cars
in Bombay, trapped by rising water levels which jammed the
City authorities and health workers began clearing rubbish
which had been washed onto the streets, spraying against
mosquitoes and handing out medicine to stop diseases.
"Our focus currently is to prevent outbreaks of any major
diseases. Wastes are being cleared on an urgent basis and we
have advised people to drink only boiled water for the next
four to five days," Dattaji said.
Meteorologists warned more rains may be on the way even as
the city tried to get back to normal. Roads were clearing,
trains were running more frequently and Bombay's airport began
operating normally after being shut for two days.
Workers who had finally made it home on Thursday -- after
one or two nights in hotels, on office floors or on the street
-- returned to work, and trading on financial markets resumed.
The chaos was a brutal reminder of Bombay's rickety
infrastructure, despite a hugely ambitious $6 billion plan to
turn it into the next Shanghai.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, visiting Bombay on Thursday,
announced a 5 billion rupee ($115 million) aid package for
relief work but Dattaji said the city would require at least 10
billion rupees to repair damaged roads, rail and other
The federation of chambers of commerce said the loss of
business income for the region was about 7 billion rupees, 4.5
billion of that for the city alone. ($1 = 43.48 rupees)

Most primary school-age children still need plenty of unstructured activity like running and chasing and playground games. Unstructured activity can also be more affordable and easier to fit into busy family life than organised activities and sports.
Everyday physical activity can also include walking to and from places in your neighbourhood, or riding bikes or scooters to and from places near your home. And school-age children are often keen to help with physical household tasks like gardening or washing the car – something that you might be keen to encourage too!
These kinds of unstructured, everyday physical activities can be more affordable and easier to fit into busy family life than organised activities and sports. And they all add up to a more active lifestyle for your child.
Many children are ready for organised sport by the middle years of primary school.
Playing organised sports and activities can be good for children in lots of ways. For example, it can help them with:
Organised sports and activities can also be good for children's health.
First experiences in organised sport don't have to be as hard or intense as the adult version. Many sporting organisations have modified versions of games that are appropriate for children at this age.
For example, rather than a cricket ball, children can start playing with something softer, like a tennis ball. This can help your child develop skills without getting hurt or losing confidence.
You can help your child enjoy sport by giving her plenty of opportunities to practise. Children can also get interested in sport through play. For example, a bit of street or backyard cricket can build skills and confidence.
School-age children might still need help to develop physical skills like kicking, hitting and throwing. It's easier to start with your child hitting, throwing and kicking for distance first, and then work on accuracy. For example, throwing big, soft, slow balls that can bounce a couple of times before children catch them is a great way to work on catching skills.
Children often also need help with learning to cope with the emotions of winning and losing. If your child gets frustrated by not winning, it can help to focus on other aspects of sport, like playing with teammates and meeting new people. This can help keep up your child's interest in sport.
Different children are good at and enjoy different activities. If you can afford it, it might be good for your child to try a variety of sports, both team and individual, and to be involved in more than one sport at a time. Some local sports clubs offer 'come and try' sessions, or short skills programs, so your child can have a go at a different sport without having to pay a lot of money.

Titans vs. Raiders: Breaking Down Tennessee's Game PlanNovember 20, 2013
It's now or never for the Tennessee Titans after losing two winnable matchups against division rivals and five of their last six games. Thanks to the mediocrity of the AFC, the Titans are still very much in the playoff picture despite their play.
But they cannot afford to lose games to opponents with similar, or worse, records anymore. The Oakland Raiders (4-6) are the next opponent on the schedule and absolutely cannot be overlooked. Entering Week 12, the Raiders hold the tiebreak over Tennessee due to a better record in conference play.
The Raiders offense is in a state of flux with the possibility of new permanent starters at both running back and quarterback. Changes or not, the Titans will need to make certain strides to improve in certain areas of play and maintain their level of play in others.
Stick to Offensive Identity
During the games against the Colts, the Titans went with an empty backfield on three 3rd-and-short situations. As a team that made a point of improving the running game, the Titans need to start proving they can run the ball when they want.
The Titans haven't been able to assert their dominance on a team with a strong running game on a consistent basis this season. Despite the strong start on the ground against the Colts on Thursday, Johnson and Greene were bottled up late in the game when it mattered most.
Chris Spencer will likely start another game at center with Brian Schwenke still limited in practice. He's proven to be a capable reserve so far, but with the Raiders possessing the sixth-best run defense, Tennessee will need more from him and the rest of the offensive line.
While it won't be necessary for the Titans to put up gaudy numbers with their rushing attack, it will be vital that the running game is able to gain tough yards when needed. The play of David Stewart has slipped mightily this season, as exemplified by his -7.3 score on Pro Football Focus (subscription required) and his 67th-place ranking. It will be imperative that the team run to the left side of the line in key situations to keep drives alive.
Limit Potent Ground Game
As strong as the Raiders are in their run defense, their own rushing attack is better with a ranking of fifth overall. Terrelle Pryor has been a big part of improving the team's ranking in the category with 504 rushing yards this season.
However, the Raiders have declined to name their starting quarterback for the upcoming game. Despite Pryor's absence, Rashad Jennings rushed for 150 yards on 22 carries. Obviously the potential for Oakland to dominate on the ground exists with or without Pryor.
The Titans allowed the Indianapolis Colts to essentially end their game with an 11-play drive, featuring 10 runs, for a touchdown capped by an 11-yard run by Donald Brown. Tennessee must get better effort from its front seven.
Akeem Ayers will be a key part of Tennessee's effort to slow the Raiders' rushing attack. He graded out as a +3.4 in run defense against the Colts on Pro Football Focus and was one of only two players to score positively in the game. Zach Brown has been awful all season in run defense, rating -8.4 for the year.
Tennessee will need the defensive line to do a better job of holding up blockers to keep the linebackers free longer and improving their chances of filling gaps in the defense. It's too late into the year to expect a drastic change in the category this season, but the Titans cannot allow the kind of back-breaking drive the Colts pulled off to happen again.
Keep Fitzpatrick on Course
Ryan Fitzpatrick has been far from his typically interception-prone self since taking over as the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season. In two weeks, he's completed 72 percent of his passes for 489 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.
There's no reason to suspect his recent trend to change against a meager Oakland pass defense that has allowed an average of 253 yards per game. The Titans featured a passing game heavy in short crossing routes on Thursday to take advantage of Fitzpatrick's weak arm strength but superior accuracy.
The Titans will need to feature the same type of attack, but sprinkle in more downfield attacks to keep the defense honest. The concussion suffered by Justin Hunter may have limited the team's plans to do so against the Colts, but Tennessee will need to throw deep regardless against the Raiders.

News List
The City of Charlottetown wishes to remind the public that smoking and the use of tobacco in any form is not permitted at City-owned and operated indoor or outdoor facilities.
A tobacco free policy was implemented by the City in 2009. It also applies to official City of Charlottetown functions and all areas in and around City-owned and operated indoor or outdoor facilities.
"Our goal with our recreational and sporting facilities is to promote health and fitness, and this policy aligns with that goal," said Charlottetown Mayor Clifford Lee. "Council recognized the health hazards of second-hand smoke and felt it was critical to have that supported by policy, joining those across the country who have implemented similar policies. We appreciate the cooperation of our residents and visitors in continuing to adhere to this policy now and in future years."
Councillor Mitchell Tweel said it's important to remind the public of the policy to continue to maintain smoke free facilities.
"The time has come to remind the public of this policy's existence because we're seeing people smoking around our facilities on occasion and that's unacceptable," said Councillor Tweel. "When I pushed this resolution forward in 2008 for implementation in 2009, it was my intention to ensure that we continue to promote and follow through on the policy for the protection of all citizens. It's advantageous to us all to have this policy in place and I intend to make sure it stays that way."
As an added reminder, the City's Parks and Recreation Department is installing tobacco free, no smoking signs in visible locations throughout the city to add to the ones already in place.
The policy applies to community centres, sports fields and courts, parks and playgrounds, arenas, swimming pools, the boardwalk and trails, as well as office areas, change rooms and washrooms, indoor and outdoor spectator viewing areas and other areas within the perimeter of all facility ground.

A recent Gallup poll listed America's number one problem is government. I know one of the troubling issues is whether or not Members of Congress even read the bills offered — there is sad reminder of just that. And of course, there's the matter of where priorities lie.
As reported by Fox News, "A bipartisan bill aimed at combating human sex trafficking has hit a major snag after Senate Democrats — who unanimously voted to move the bill out of committee — hit the brakes upon discovering a Republican-backed abortion provision."
"Though the relatively modest 68-page bill has been available for nearly two months, it wasn't until this week that Senate Democrats said they noticed the language, and subsequently threatened to block the bill. As drafted, the legislation would crack down on what lawmakers in both parties agree is a seamy underworld of drugs and human sex trafficking akin to modern-day slavery. Fines paid by those convicted of the sex-trafficking crimes would go into a fund to help victims. But Democrats now are balking because the legislation also contains a Republican-inserted provision that bars the use of fines to pay for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the pregnant woman is in jeopardy.'
"Democrats believe that divisive issues like this should be kept off what is otherwise a broadly bipartisan bill," a spokesman for Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said, adding that they're trying to find a "path forward."
This piece of legislation was voted out of committee. It was also voted under the rules of cloture meaning in the Senate it could be brought to the Senate floor for a vote. It is only 68 pages long and now the Senate Democrats are balking at a provision that was always in the legislation and as Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said, Democrats had indeed know of the provision as they had discussed it.
Senate Democrats are now in a very interesting position — almost untenable — as they must explain their desire to use government confiscated funds from sex trafficking offenders for the purpose of killing babies. The Senate GOP provision states those confiscated fines could be used in cases of rape, incest, and the life of a pregnant woman being in jeopardy — but that's not good enough for the progressive socialist abortionists. They support the killing of babies by any means necessary. Let's be honest that's what this is — it is not women's reproductive health or rights.
I fully support women's reproductive health — the fight against cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancers. But we should not forget the rights of the unborn.
So why the faux protest from the Senate Democrats now? Because I bet those groups who support them financially — Planned Parenthood and Emily's List –made the call to the Senate Minority Leader and persuaded him to pull support. There's no other explanation since this legislation had passed two previous hurdles.
Sadly we clearly see where the priorities of the liberal progressive left lie—it's certainly not caring for the women and children who are victims of human sex-trafficking.
For the left, nothing can ever stand in the way of killing babies, honoring the vision of Margaret Sanger. And so the Senate Democrats want the freedom to use the collected fines with NO restrictions on their use in the practice of killing babies. The Senate Democrat argument is that the fines are not government funds — but rather private monies.
Now, I ain't the most brilliant fella in the world, but it seems to me that's contradictory to the premise of Obamacare "fines" for not purchasing health insurance. The SCOTUS ruled the Affordable Care Act constitutional because these "fines" were permitted under the taxing authority of the Congress.
So I'm a little confused. Why is it that the "fines" levied against honest hardworking Americans are ruled a tax — government resources. Yet, in the case of protecting innocent women and children victims of human sex trafficking and levying, "fines" against those despicable perpetrators are considered private monies — all so the Democrats can further victimize unborn children.
The hypocrisy would be laughable if not so very horrible. So much for the "War on Women." Sex trafficking matters little to the liberal progressive leftist abortionists if it in anyway affects killing unborn babies. Not only have the Senate Democrats embarrassed themselves by showing they don't read legislation. They've just shown — once again — the meaning of duplicitous hypocrisy.
Fines are taxes controlled by government when liberal progressives control government. Fines are private funds when they don't — and how often in the first two years of the Obama reign when the Democrats held the House and Senate did you hear the word "bipartisanship?"
The rules are different for Democrats than for Republicans — just look at the Hillary Clinton email issue as a case in point.
The Senate GOP offered a reasonable amendment that the Democrats were aware of — or they were just too lazy to read the 68 pages of the legislation?
Regardless I suppose it depends on what the meaning of "fines" is.

Maybe we'll get another peek at FE13?
;_; please.
just some english screens... or something... introduce MU?
The NA Nintendo Direct link. This one is entirely focused on the 3DS, so there wasn't anything about the Wii U after all.
In short, this is what was shown:
* Paper Mario: Sticker Star - A lot more of content was shown. Also, goats.
* Professor Layton & The Miracle Mask - It's coming this Sunday on both retail & download.
* Style Savvy - If you're into puzzles but also into clothing, this is the game for you. Also coming to retail & download.
* Art Academy.
* Crashmo, Fluidity Spin Cycle, and the trilogy of games from Suda51 and the two other developers coming to the eShop later.
* Many Virtual Console titles coming in the next weeks.
* Animal Crossing: New Leaf was shown in English.
* The new Fire Emblem finally gets more stuff in English, and it will be called as everyone else has been calling it: Fire Emblem Awakening.

Notable VC games shown include Zelda II and Super Mario Bros: Lost Levels
Spoiler:- Want my Friend Code?:
Give me a reason to give you it then.
There was Animal Crossing. There was Fire Emblem. Day made.
Nothing about PL vs. AA then? ;~;
Ah well, at least the new Animal Crossing game was shown. So that's good.
So the Charizard 3DS looks pretty cool.
Yep. I would buy an XL and the Fire Emblem 3DS if they both got released over here.
The most Superior Snivy. Left, good time here though. I loved this place.
Just got Roller Coaster Tycoon 3D. If you haven't got it yet, don't get it. It's pretty crappy.
Shame since I've been looking forward to it since April.
I think the fact that it was delayed was a big enough red flag. The same goes for the 3DS version of Rayman Origins.
And unfortunately Virtue's Last Reward has a game-breaking bug. It sucks because VLR is such a great game and this bug is going to ruin things for a lot of people. Just don't save in a puzzle room, anyone, and your save won't corrupt.
Yes the Charizard 3DS XL looks so nice! I probably won't get it (it may not come to the UK...) but looks nice.
Credit to Neo Pikachu for the Weavile banner.
I loved Rollercoaster Tycoon when I was younger!
But Roller Coaster Tycoon being translated to a portable gaming console, I just can't think of any way that would go over well.

It was the PEC Room, which is said to guarantee corrupt data if you save in there, but even if I avoid saving in certain places, the game crashing could end up corrupting the game too for some reason.

I have often wondered why all servers don't write down their customer's orders. I would estimate there is about a 75% chance that a server won't get everything right when they don't write down an order, especially considering the number of people that customize their order these days (dressing on the side, substituting items, etc). The downside (unhappy customers) seems a lot bigger than any upside (saves paper maybe?).
I think it's a matter of appearances — it looks better, classier, if the server isn't scribbling on a pad but instead stays engaged with diners throughout the ordering process. I recall as a kid being deeply impressed at Luigi's in Schenectady, where the owner, Marlene, and her daughters never needed an order pad and could keep a large party's order straight in their heads. But I'd prefer a pad to getting things wrong, or the server having to come back to the table to ask, "Now what was that again?"

Limerick Macra sleep on the streets for homeless
LIMERICK Macra members gave up their comfy beds recently in solidarity with those who sleep on the streets every night.
Up to 20 men and women took part in the fifth annual sleep-out on O'Connell Street for the Mid-West Simon Community. There was no fear of any trouble as they had Munster star Duncan Casey on their team.
Over €10,000 was collected with more to come from on-line donations.
Emily Sexton, secretary of Limerick City Macra, spent 24 hours outside AIB from 8.30am on Saturday morning.
The Caherdavin lady said it was only for one night.
"There are people who sleep on the streets every night. I'm just glad we managed to raise some awareness and money for Mid-West Simon Community. They are a fantastic charity. Passers-by were so generous and stopped to ask us could they get us teas and coffees," said Emily. Macra members from Ballylanders, Boher, Shannonside, Inse Ban, Kilmallock, Estuary, Croom and Limerick City clubs, and charity staff took part. The sign that hung above all their heads was "beds not benches".
Jackie Bonfield, of Mid-West Simon Community, thanked Limerick Macra as demand for their services is increasing. Currently they have 120 clients seeking accommodation and are hosting a Christmas Eve breakfast.

Action from the international friendly between Honduras (white jersey) and visiting Venezuela on March 5, 2014, at the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula. (Photo: courtesy Diario La Prensa)
SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras – Jerry Palacios scored early in the second half to give Honduras a 2-1 win over visiting Venezuela in an international friendly on Wednesday at the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano.
The Catrachos -- now unbeaten in six of their last seven outings -- played at home for the last time prior to the World Cup.
As evidenced by the high quality of its goals, the host performed assuredly in an evening contested at an engaging pace.
Jerry Bengtson gave the supporters something to cheer about in the sixth minute, striking to give Honduras a 1-0 lead. After Oscar Boniek Garcia slipped a clever pass into the left side of the penalty area, the mobile New England Revolution forward accurately fired a shot into the far-side netting from seven-yards out
Venezuela leveled in the 20th minute thanks to a brilliantly taken free kick by Romulo Otero that beat the best efforts of outstretched goalkeeper Noel Valladares.
Five minutes after the break, Palacios struck for the game-winner.
Maynor Figueroa initiated the play by sending a long pass from his own end of the field to the right that sailed over the head of a Venezuelan defender. The ball fell to the 32-year-old Palacios, who finished clinically from 12-yards with his right foot.
After going winless in six straight games against Venezuela, the Hondurans have won two in a row.

In the Madison Avenue battle of Messi's men vs. the Mannings — the world's football vs. America's football — who ya got?
Earlier this month, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning dropped "Football on Your Phone" for DirecTV on an unsuspecting and amused world. It's been watched nearly 7 million times on YouTube and "your phone's not for callin', your phone's for footballin'" is indelibly etched on every single one of those viewers' brains.
There's a challenger for the Mannings, though. This spot, with over 3 million views in just a few days, comes from Barcelona and Qatar Airways, who've created the mythical isle of FC Barcelona and damned if you're not going to want to go to there, even though it's a place where flower pots are pushed from lofty windows by killer kitties.
Judge for yourself. Here's the Mannings' effort:

Drug Trafficking Fugitive Sentenced to 42 Months in Federal Prison
|U.S. Attorney's Office January 24, 2014
SPOKANE—Michael C. Ormsby, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Washington, announced that Rodolfo Naranjo, age 53, a former resident alien from Mexico who resided Wenatchee, Washington, was sentenced for conspiracy to distribute cocaine and failure to appear in a case that reaches back to 1994. Senior United States District Court Judge Fred Van Sickle sentenced Naranjo to a 42-month term of imprisonment, to be followed by a 36-month term of court supervision after he is released from federal prison.
Based on information disclosed during the court proceedings, this case arose from a joint federal and state investigation of cocaine smuggling through north central Washington into Canada. In the fall of 1994, law enforcement officers obtained historical evidence of Naranjo's involvement in past shipments of cocaine and information about his expected future deliveries using sources of supply in California and Mexico. Thereafter, on December 2, 1994, Naranjo delivered two kilograms of cocaine to an individual who was cooperating with law enforcement officers. Naranjo was subsequently arrested and charged by federal indictment on February 7, 1995. Following his court appearance on the indictment, Naranjo was released on bond and fled to Mexico. He was thereafter charged by federal indictment for failure to appear.
Naranjo remained a fugitive until April 26, 2013, when he was arrested at an airport in Dallas, Texas, as he attempted to enter the United States from Mexico. The United States Marshals Service returned Naranjo to the Eastern District of Washington, and he entered guilty pleas to the two charges on October 17, 2013.
Michael C. Ormsby stated, "Drug trafficking is a serious federal offense, particularly when it involves smuggling activities across international borders. Individuals charged with a federal offense will be brought to justice even if, as in this case, it has been over 18 years. Those who chose to flee from justice should know that they will be located, arrested, and prosecuted for their criminal conduct."
This investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Customs Service, the United States Border Patrol, and the North Central Washington Narcotics Task Force. The case was prosecuted by Timothy J. Ohms, an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Washington.

Cruiserweight contender Shane Cameron (27-2, 21KOs) is going to be out a lot longer than previously believed. The boxer's right broken hand has been re-assessed after an MRI scan and now requires minor surgery which is expected to take ten weeks to heal. Cameron broke his hand in the fifth round of his Commonwealth Title fight with Dominic Vea on July 20th in New South Wales. Cameron knocked Vea out in the twelfth round.
