how do I get rid of the constant annoying popups on the register that says "appears on your stamement as ..."This pop-up appears telling me how an item appears on my statement and freezes everything while it is appearing for about three seconds. It is constantly popping up as I move my mouse around the screen. It makes the software almost unusable because of the way it freezes everything and sometimes covers up what I am looking at. AAAARRRGGGGG!!!!
This only appears on items that have a blue dot in the first column. (Which is almost everything in some accounts.)

AccuScore has the Los Angeles Clippers as slight 57.7 percent favorites to win Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The average score after 10,000 simulations is 109-106, with Minnesota having a 50.6 percent chance of covering the +3.5 spread. While both teams have a fairly equal probability at a close win (4 points or less), the Clippers have nearly three times the chance of the Timberwolves at a big win (10 points or more).
Keep in mind, these simulations were done with a healthy Blake Griffin in the lineup. At the time of publishing, Blake Griffin was listed as a game-time-decision.

— Brad Turner (@BA_Turner) March 31, 2014
Projected Leaders
Blake Griffin: 22 points (53% FG), 9 rebounds, 3 assists
Chris Paul: 17 points (48% FG), 10 assists, 5 rebounds
Kevin Love: 26 points (42% FG), 14 rebounds, 3 assists
Kevin Martin: 19 points (41% FG), 3 rebounds
What to Watch For
Minnesota is No. 25 in the league in bench production, averaging just 26.8 points per game. In Sunday's loss against Brooklyn, the Timberwolves bench was outscored for the 50th time in 72 games. Unless Minnesota can match the firepower of the Jamal Crawford-led Clippers bench, Monday's game will be the 51st time in 73 games in which their bench has been outscored.

Moody's cuts Japan's credit rating to Aa3 from Aa2, citing "large budget deficits and the build-up in Japanese government debt since the 2009 global recession."
Comments (6)
The SEC should get right on it and investigate Moody's for having the audacity to actually downgrade a country that had persistent deficits and a large build-up of government debt. First the United States, then Japan...pretty soon a ratings agency will be speaking the truth about any country.
What business does the IMF have in telling Japan to raise their sales tax? Those socialists need to keep their hands off our money and take a hike. Japan's problems are the same as the rest of the world. Ben and his magic press. We are exporting inflation and now our lack of demand is killing the planet. Japan is going to spend $100 billion to devalue their currency to prop ours up. If the fed quit buying our debt, treasury rates would go through the roof. Japan has a higher credit rating than the US and Europe in my book, because most of it is owed to it's own people.

Basilica San Lorenzo Maggiore, Milan
19 Reviews
19 Reviews
In the IV century B.C. San Lorenzo stood outside of the city walls, not far from the amphitheater, the imperial palace and the circus along the way Ticinensis, which joined Pavia to Milan and it was the access road leading to the city.
For people who arrived to Milan that Basilica was presented as "one of the most impressive buildings of Christian West".
Since 1167, when the new walls with the moat were built, the Basilica of San Lorenzo, was incorporated into the circle of the city walls near the Porta Ticinese, the arrival point of the road from Pavia, one of the most important among those that led into town.
In 1548 the Governor Ferrante Gonzaga built a new defensive walls and Basilica of San Lorenzo then found itself in a densely populated area. Basilica has been reconstructed many times during it one thousand and seven hundred years history. When you look at the apse you can unmistakably date any part of the church.
Admission is free but any donations are welcomed and highly appreciated. Although is you wish to visit the Chapel of Sant'Aquilino with its late ancient mosaics and frescos of XV-XVI centuries then you are required to buy a ticket. Price of the ticket was 1.50 Euros.
Visitors are allowed to take noncommercial photos without flashlight and tripod.
Open from Monday through Saturday

The foundations of the Basilica San Lorenzo make it possibly the oldest surviving building in Milan. There's little left of the significant Roman presence in the city, which made Milan one of the foremost cities outside Rome at the time, but outside the Basilica is a row of Corinthian columns, the last vestiges of a third century Roman temple. The rest of the buildings that form part of the Basilica were constructed or reconstructed at various times over the last two millennia.
Address: Corso Ticinese
Directions: From the Duomo square, walk down Via Torino (opposite the cathedral) and take a left down corso di Porta Ticinese.
This is a fascinating church with a mystery of a history. It has stood in its spot for around 1,600 years but no one is really sure who built it and for what purpose. Its sheer size and location, said to have been close to an Imperial palace, indicated that it was constructed for more than than purely public, ecclesiastical use. It was also outside of the city walls - where Romans of that period buried their dead - and inclusion of adjoining/freestanding structures of designs associated with funerary purposes point to possible origins as an Imperial mausoleum.
Who knows?
What is clear is that even though it was extensively overhauled several times, the main outline of its 4th-century footprint remains. This is an aisled tetraconch church, meaning it's roughly in the shape of a circle with apses that bulged from four sides, and an inner ring of pillars that creates an continuous ambulatory. You can see the original floor plan here:
It was also partially constructed from materials lifted from a Roman amphitheater - a part of which can be seen underneath the church's foundation. Outside, a colonnade of pillars looted from some long-gone pre-Christian pile mark the front of what was once a roofed, 4-sided portico.
The interior originally would have been encrusted with fabulous mosaics - long gone due to rebuilding after several fires - but is now mostly bare stone with some scraps of later fresco work here and there including a 16th-century rip-off (and not a good one) of Da Vinci's "Last supper." A couple of euros gets you into a 4th-century chapel that was almost certainly meant as a burial chamber and contains a sarcophagus that may or may nor be occupied. Around the walls and niches are fragments of 12th and 14-century frescoes and what little remains of those ancient mosaics which would have brightly illuminated now-darkened spaces. Here also is the crystal reliquary of St. Aquilino, for whom the chapel is named, and a stairway that leads down to a bit of that Roman rubble which lies underneath.
You can take a little 360-degree tour of the central sanctuary here:
Entrance (except for the St. Aquilino chapel) is free.

San Lorenzo alle Colonne was the last church I visited in the end of a long day of sightseeing. My mom was so tired that she stayed in a café, while I walked here on my own.
San Lorenzo is one of the oldest churches in Milan, it is believed that it incorporates the original chapel of the Roman Imperial Residence. When it was built in the 4th century, material from the nearby Roman amphitheater was used. Even to me, not knowing so much about architecture, it was obvious that this church is different to other churches I had seen in Milan. The style is not like the Lombard one, but rather Roman, with a central, round room in the middle of the church, and a high cupola. It is rather like a basilica.
The church was substantially renovated in the 11th, 12th and 16th century, but its main characteristics were never changed.
I visited quite late in the day, and unfortunately I was not able to see some of the most interesting things this church has to offer: The Capella di Sant' Aquilino has mosaics from the 5th century and as far as I have heard and read, they are just amazing. Unfortunately, the chapel was closed when I came here. In picture 4 you can see the entrance to the chapel, I was able to catch a glimpse of the frescoes when I looked through the door.
There were some people praying in the church very loudly and absorbed, so I did not walk around a lot and did not take many pictures - I did not want to disturb them. Moreover, there were two dubious men walking around and following me, I am sure they were not tourists and it did feel very strange. When I left the church, they left, too, but they lingered on the steps of the entrance smoking a cigarette and, as I guess, waiting for other tourists? They were not really scary, but I wanted to tell this here as a remainder that pickpockets and other shady characters even occur in churches... Fortunately I had read about this on VT, and so I was not too surprised.
Although I was on my guard, I enjoyed walking around at least a little. As I said, the architecture was so different to what I had seen so far on my trip to Milan, so it was very interesting. There were also some great frescoes and paintings.
San Lorenzo definitely is a church I want to visit again when I come back to Milan one day, earlier in the day when the experience will hopefully be better :-)
Address: Corso Ticinese
Directions: South of the city centre. Nearest metro: Sant' Ambrogio (but from there it is still quite a walk)

Part of the San Lorenzo alle Colonne, this Byzantine chapel dates from the 5th century and has some wonderful mosaics
Octagonal in shape (more obvious from the outside), it is believed to have been built by Galla Placida, daughter of Emperor Theodosius - originally the chapel was called St Genesius (Chapel of the Queen).
It was described as a stunningly beautiful church, but over time ('renovations' as well as earthquakes, fires, etc) have reduced the mosaics and frescoes to a fraction of what they once were - 24 scenes of the martyrdom of S. Aquilino.
Open 7.30am - 12.30pm, 2.30 - 6.45pm: Sunday all day
Entrance fee: 2 euros
Address: Corso Ticinese
Directions: Tramway 27
One of the oldest churches of western Christendom, dating from the 4th century.
It's a complete hotch-potch of styles and ages as many fires, collapsing buildings etc have resulted in rebuilds.
At the front of the church are 16 Roman columns which were moved from an unidentified temple in the 4th century.
Inside the church, to the right as you go through the main entrance is the Capella di Sant'Aquilino (entrance charge). This Byzantine chapel dates from the 5th century and has some wonderful mosaics (see separate tip).
The rest of the church is more 'typical' 16th century Renaissance-style, although of Roman rather than Lombard design. The dome is the largest in Milan.
Leonardo da Vinci thought this church to be the most beautiful in Mialn. i'm not sure I agree, but it is very lovely.
St Ambrose founded 4 churches in the city during the 300s, and this is one of them. It was partially constructed using the remnants of Roman masonry throughout the city...including the rather random row of Roman columns which stand outside the church and give it its name. They've been there since the 300s...imagine!
The building you can visit now is a 16th-century reconstruction of the 11th-century version. It's octagonal inside, and really rather lovely. See if you can spot the inverted roman column, its capital now serving as its base...a deliberate symbol of the power Christianity held over earthly authorities.
But the highlight for me was the Cappella di San Aquilino, to the side of the main church interior. You have to pay to visit (2 euro) but it is most definitely worthwhile. Probably originally built as an Imperial mausoleum its niches and arches contain the remains of beautiful 4th-century mosaics. Such things are not commonplace, so pay your 2 euro and visit them.
And whilst you are visiting the Cappella do go down the steps behind the relics of San Aquilino to see the original Roman foundations.
To the rear of San Lorenzo is the Piazza del Vetra, where public executions occurred until the 1500s. From there you can clearly see the mish-mash of building styles and sections which make up San Lorenzo.
Highly recommended...but be aware that, like many in Milan, the church will probably be closed during the early afternoon (roughly 12-3).
Address: Corso Ticinese
Directions: Tramway 27 or walk.
Founded in the 4th century, San Lorenzo Maggiore Church was at the time one of the largest buildings in the west. The foundations were made of enormous blocks taken from other Roman sites and the interior was decorated with marble along the lower half and mosaics up higher.
The church was rebuilt in the 11th century and heavily renovated in the 16th century. The church was restored in the 1930s.
I learned this from our tour guide during our Grande Bus Tour of Milan. But we have seen this church while exploring Milan on foot as most of the tourist spots are within walking distance from our hotel!
Outside the church you could see massive columns as well! They seem to form part of the church perimeter.
Address: Corso Ticinese
Directions: Tramway 27
This place was teeming with locals when we arrived after our first cruise from Venice! We had to stay for 3 days before our second cruise and we spent a lot of time passing her and even sitting at the square soaking the local atmosphere! Milanians are very relaxed and modern compared to the Venetians. We prefer them actually as they are also friendlier and less conscious unlike their counterparts in Venice!
The square is defined by the statue of San Lorenzo Maggiore.
Address: Corso Ticinese
Directions: Tramway 27
San Lorenzo dates from the 4th century and stones from a nearby Roman amphitheatre were used in the construction. It has been rebuilt after fires, but a large part of the walls and three of the chapels are from the 4th century. The dome, which is the largest in Milan, was rebuilt in 1573, after it had collapsed. Attached to the main building are other buildings from different periods.
I didn't visit Cappella de Sant' Aquilino and now I regret it as it contains some very fine mosaics, and I love mosaics. Admission to the chapel was 2 Euro (February 2009) and it was closed as I arrived, but soon a man came and asked if I wanted to see the chapel. Then I said no and continued my tour of the church.
The church is open between 8.30 - 12.30 and 14.30 - 18.30.

San Lorenzo alle Colonne is one of the oldest central-plan churches of western christianity. Built in the 4th century, it went through numerous renovations and today has a sixteenth century style in features such as the dome. However, it still has its original plan, the main walls and three chapels.
Sixteen ancient Roman columns that line the front of this sanctuary belonged to some unidentified temple and were moved here in the 4th century.

San Lorenzo Basilica was built between the end of 4th century and the beginning of the 5th century using materials from the close by Roman theater.
It is said that the project of the church has its origins in Byzantium and the features of the oriental art can be seen inside.
One of the most beautiful chapel of the church is Sant'Aquilino Chapel with its mosaic presenting the Christ surrounded by the Apostles, one of the finest examples of the paleochristian art from northern Italy.
Address: Corso Ticinese
Directions: Tramway 27
It is fascinating to observe the interior and pick out the Rarly Christian plan from the 16th century modifications. The chapel of St. Aquilinus and St. Hippolytus were built adjacent to the basilica in the IV century, while the small mausoleum to St. Sixtus dates from the early 6th century. Destoyed by fires on several occasions, it was rebuilt by Martino Bassi after it collapsed in 1573.
The interior is worthy of admiration not only for its sixteenth century style, but also for its early Christian base.
The wall paintings extant in San Lorenzo are extremely important, as they are among the few examples of Roman paintings left in Milan.
Address: Corso di Porta Ticinese
The basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore, built between the 4th and 5th centuries, is probably made of material taken from the nearby Roman amphitheatre. Its original Rerly Christian plan was later altered in 1573 by Martino Bassi who managed to preserve much of the original octagonal shape and who is responsible for the dome set on the high drum.
Oriental influence has been recognized in the square towers at the four sides with the apses inscribed within the square thus formed; it has been claimed that the plan actually comes from Byzantium.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria, May 6 (Reuters) - - Suspected Boko Haram gunmen kidnapped eight girls aged 12 to 15 from a village near one of their strongholds in northeast Nigeria overnight, police and residents said on Tuesday.
"They were many, and all of them carried guns. They came in two vehicles painted in army colour. They started shooting in our village," said Lazarus Musa, a resident of Warabe, where the attack happened.
A police source, who could not be named, said the girls were taken away on trucks, along with looted livestock and food. The Islamist rebels are still holding more than 200 girls they abducted from a secondary school on April 14. (Reporting by Lanre Ola; Writing by Tim Cocks Editing by Jeremy Gaunt)

Built around 1840, the cottage is on a dead end country road, so no traffic. Totally renovated in 2010 as a country retreat for its owner, it boasts modern central heating, new bathrooms, handmade curtains and a new kitchen equipped to the highest standard. THE RATING HAS NOW BEEN RAISED TO 4* GOLD by the Tourist Board. However traditional character has been preserved with deep windows, beams, a traditional wood fire, and Rayburn (Aga) cooker, and a selection of antique pictures. We even provide complimentary logs for the fire! It is a five minute walk to a traditional English pub with excellent food. Rolling Cotswold countryside can be seen passed the traditional village roof lines at the back. There is a large cottage garden with patio, barb-b que, and outdoor dining. Fluffy towels and toiletaries provide that extra pampered feel. There is an extensive selection of books, and even some children's books and toys for the perfect country retreat.
The English Tourist Board has certified this property as family-ready and suitable for cyclists. Cot, high chair, toys, plastic cutlery and crockery all available.
Our family of five (kids aged 13, 10, and 8) had a wonderful experience with this property. We stayed here June 28-July 5, 2016. The cottage is just as depicted in the pictures -- lovely, charming, and comfortable. It looks like it belongs in a movie set! We had everything we needed. The supermarket in Stow-on-the-Wold is about 12 minutes away. The Lamb Inn is a 2-minute walk and is a wonderful place to dine. Bourton-on-the-Water is about a 6-minute drive and has many restaurants and shops. Wi-Fi and washer/dryer work very well. We took day trips from here to Stratford-upon-Avon, Stonehenge, Highclere Castle, Oxford, Blenheim Palace, and Sudeley Castle. We also enjoyed quiet, relaxing mornings and evenings in the cottage. The gardens in the back were a nice surprise -- larger than we expected. The only slight negatives were endearing ones. (I had to learn to duck my head under very short door frames, and we learned not to walk on the bottom two creaking stairs.) The owner was very pleasant to work with and always responded to our inquiries in a timely fashion during the booking process and leading up to our trip. This property was exactly what we were hoping it would be, and we enthusiastically give it our highest recommendation.
The cottage had plenty of room for the 7 of us,for our family get together. It was very clean and had a well equipped kitchen including a good coffee maker. The cottage had lovely features through out including a lovely log fire , which along with the central heating kept us nice and cosy even in January . It was close by to other popular villages which were nice to visit.
We had a wonderful time at Eastereleigh Cottage! There were 7 adults and the sleeping arrangements were perfect, the bathrooms worked out well and we felt there was plenty of room for all us. The cottage itself is just gorgeous! Exactly what you would picture for an old English cottage. We walked to the pub for dinner, walked up the street to the beautiful church, and had easy access to all the nearby villages. The location is perfect. We had no trouble parking the car in front. We had a couple small issues- ants, broken chair, and power outage (that was probably our fault) and we contacted the manager Lorraine, and she took care of things immediately. We only wish we had more time! My hubby knocked his head many times on the low doorways, but that's what makes the cottage so charming! I plan to share this property to all my travel friends. All 7 of us agree, it couldn't have been better!
I loved being out in the country after a stay in busy London. Place was just as pictured and described. The Lamb Inn was fantastic, friendly, food excellent (except for one curry vegetable dish ). We ate there several time and just walked home! Allowed for a relaxed evening and no worries about the wine you had with dinner. The cottage was great. The third bathroom on kitchen level IS small but doable. The glass roof over dinning table.... great. We had perfect weather for the total stay. One morning it was a little grey and a few sprinkles. The door heights proved to be a challenge to our taller husbands. Mine is 6'2" and the other guy is 6'1. After a couple of bumps they remembered to duck! The information about leaving the key in the front door while unloading (due to wind blowing it shut) was right on. This makes me think that it has blown shut on people before and caused a problem. Glad for the head up on that point. We ate out all most all the time so can't really evaluate the kitchen much. Glasses stored in cabinet by kitchen table was not very handy. We spent our time in the dinning room because there was more space. I thought the bedrooms were great along with two other bathrooms. The master bedroom had a huge tub, shower and I loved all the morning sunshine that came in the windows. I could have just come to the cottage and spent my total trip there. We walked, talked to the neighbors, took pictures, ate, drank and did day trips to other villages we wanted to see. I would highly recommend the cottage. Mark was very helpful about information, reservations and follow up. The four star rating is more based on having 6 adults at this cottage. If it were only 4 adults I would have given a 5 star. 6 just made it a little cramped. Would visit again!
Lovely comfortable property in a superb location. I would recommend this property to anyone.
Our family holiday was made all the better by the lovely cottage and its facilities. Our party was seven adults and there was plenty of space for us all. Having one of the bedrooms on the ground floor with a shower room was prefect for my elderly parents. The cottage was warm, clean and inviting. We had a very enjoyable meal at the local pub, The Lamb Inn. The village is very quiet, which is great, but other villages and tourist attractions were easily accessed.
I would fully recommend it and hope to return myself.
Situated in a glorious Cotswold village, complete with pub, village green, and 900 year-old church and spectacular views across the Cotswolds. 90% of the buildings are hundreds of years old, built in traditional local style. Right in the middle of the Cotswolds, but away from the tourist trail. The village is a starting point for many beautiful walks across the countryside,The famous towns of Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the Water and Burford are just a few minutes' drive away. It' a perfect spot to base touring across the Cotswolds and for Oxford (40 minutes' drive away), Stratford-Upon Avon (40 minutes) and Cheltenham (40 minutes). But then back to a peaceful, beautiful traditional village cottage, complete with large character garden.

Fields of Gold
This image was taken off Pratt Road outside Jackson, Wyoming. This is what I assume is an irrigation ditch that I suspect runs to the nearby Snake River.
This is not an area that is considered part of the park, but looking back at all the images I took during the week I spent in the area, it is one of my favorite areas. The valley along here is very lush, scattered with cattle and horse farms all with the back drop of the Teton range. Hard to beat.

text: 1. The AES Corporation ( AES) is a power company with global presence and owns a portfolio of electricity generation and distribution businesses in 28 countries. Consolidated revenue increased 16% to $4.5 billion in the second quarter of 2011 owing to favorable foreign currency impact, contributions from new businesses from Ballylumford in Northern Ireland, Angamos in Chile, Maritza in Bulgaria, and growing demand at its Brazilian utilities. EPS improved to 32 cents from 24 cents during the second quarter of 2010. On the earnings front, Paul Hanrahan, AES CEO, said, "Compared to the first quarter of this year, adjusted EPS growth reflects improvements in existing operations, as well as income from new construction projects and our recent acquisition in Northern Ireland. In addition, I am pleased with our recent progress on our remaining construction projects and we remain on track to achieve our 2011 guidance". Consolidated gross margin came lower at 22.5% compared to 25.5% in the second quarter of 2010 due to higher fixed costs in Latin America and lower volumes and spot prices at its Europe and Asia Generation businesses. For full-year 2011, the company has guided EPS to range from $1.08 to $1.14. Analysts polled by Bloomberg project 57% upside over the next one year with 83% buy ratings. The stock has more than doubled in the last one year and is trading at 9.7 times its estimated 2011 earnings. >>To see these stocks in action, visit the 6 Utility Stocks With Upside portfolio on Stockpickr.

Fight report/gallery: It was the mixed martial arts version of Muhammad Ali's "rope-a-dope," the Pittsburg Steelers "Immaculate Reception," Kirk Gibson's pinch hit walk-off 2-run homer and Robert Horry's game winning 3-pointer against the Sacramento Kings. Anderson Silva had been dominated for 23 minutes by the trash talking Chael Sonnen who was walking the walk that he talked for months. Sonnen was ready to shock the world, but Silva wasn't going to go out without a bang. Well behind on the scorecards, Silva cinched in the Hail Mary of all triangle chokes and sent the 12,971 fans at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA into a frenzy as he defended his UFC middleweight title by submitting Sonnen at 3:10 in the 5th and final round at UFC 117 . . .

With Don King proclaiming that on this card, "every fight was a main event", his Gateway to Greatness card Saturday night was a classic example of the younger, hungrier lions taking over the pride. 23 year old Devon Alexander (21-0, 13 KOs), 28 year old Tavoris Cloud (21-0, 18KOs) and 28 year old Ryan Coyne (15-0, 5KOs) all beat their respective, older lions last night to win or retain their championship belts. Even 37 year old Cornelius 'K9' Bundrage (30-4-2, 18KOs) seemed like a young lion in dispatching his foe, Cory Spinks (37-6, 11KOs) with a 5th round knockout. (more…)

A fired-up Sosa (39-6, 23 KOs) had promised a kayo to his legion of fans and he delivered: he took command from the first round and thoroughly punished the game but outclassed Varela (15-8, 7 KOs), scoring a knockdown in the third round and another in the fourth round.

UFC 117 postfight

Postfight presser: It was like Super Bowl XLII all over again… but not quite the same Cinderella story ending. Anderson Silva reflected the undefeated New England Patriots and Chael Sonnen represented the 10-6 New York Giants. Nobody – except a few die hard Giants fans – gave New York a shot in hell to beat what many had already called the greatest NFL team of all time. The trash-talking Sonnen did everything right for four rounds. But unlike David Tyree's leaping catch, Sonnen dropped the ball when it counted the most . . . Click here for more
More from St. Louis

In Devon Alexander's toughest test to date, he successfully defended his IBF and WBC junior welterweight titles in a back and forth twelve round unanimous decision. Alexander (21-0, 13 KOs) pressured continually throughout the fight and effectively countered Andriy Kotelnik's (31-4, 13 KOs) power shots. More plus photos…
St. Louis Quick Quotes
(Prior to the decision announcement) "We good. I think I did enough to win. (After the decision announcement) It was an okay performance for me. I am my own toughest critic. Kotelnik is a tough fighter, an ex-world champion. Like I told everyone, I have an A, B and C plan. I have all three, so I can adjust to whatever anyone brings. Kotelnik trained hard. Give him credit. I listened to my trainer (Kevin Cunningham). He told me to box. (Leg issue) My left leg was going out on me in the final round. I had a cramp. I trained for 12 rounds and got the victory. That is what I came here to do.
(On the cut to his right eye) It was my first cut, but I fought through it like a world champion does. We knew Kotelnik would come in, in shape and he did."
"I want the belt. I deserve it. If the fight were anywhere but here, I would be champion. I am speechless. I have no words to describe what happened. That guy has something that belongs to me."
TRAINER STACEY MCKINLEY (to Kotelnik are the fight)
"Everyone knows the fight was closer than that. In fact, you won the fight."
"I was head butted a lot. It was a heck of a fight. I have a lot of respect for Glen. I had the most effective punches. I hurt him worse. Glen Johnson said I was off balance. It is the same thing. You got hurt because I hit you. I was looking for a shot to get him out. He's a slick fighter, so I didn't get the KO. I definitely want to fight Chad Dawson. I was a little rusty tonight, so I will be better next time. I am a bad man. I going to be a unified world champion and undisputed champion."
"I made some adjustments throughout the fight. He was throwing a lot of punches, but I was blocking most of them. But the judges were counting them all. He caught me with a punch over there that I was not ready for. I was off balance and that was the only time I got caught."
"The referee stopped the fight, but I don't know why. I totally disagree. He didn't even hit me and I lost my title."
"Cory is a world champion and I think a world champion deserves the benefit of the doubt in that situation."
"Spinks had a staggered and dazed look. He shook his head (after the knockdown) as if to say, no. At the count of eight, he stepped backwards and I didn't want his opponent to hit him again in that condition."
"I knew I was going to get him. It was just a matter of time. I want Manny Pacquaio next. I am thankful. We have the best team in the land with Keith Lee, Emanuel Steward and Don King. I went after it. He was right there at the opening bell, so I went for it. I went right after him. It was just a matter of time."
"It was a good fight. It could have been better. He was too anxious. He wasted a lot of energy. It has never been in this big of a fight. He is in a hot division and I am sure he will get a lot of offers."
Chaves dominates Goncalo
WBO #10 ranked welterweight Diego Chaves (15-0, 12 KOs) of Argentina defeated Jeferson Goncalo (22-9-3, 12 KOs) of Brazil to retain his WBO Latino welterweight title. The bout was fought at an intense pace from beginning to end with Chaves rocking the resilient Goncalo on several occasions. Chaves staggered Goncalo badly into the ropes with a barrage of punches in round 5 and the referee issued a standing 8 count. In the end the official judges scorecards read 120-108, 120-107, and 120-107 all in favor to Chaves. The event took place at the Club Los Indios, Moreno in Buenos Aires, Argentina with Mario Margossian promoting.

From the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif. at UFC 117: Losing nearly every round against challenger Chad Sonnen, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva retained his title with a win by tapout in the fifth and final round. Controlling four of five rounds, Sonnen was on his way to victory when Silva sank in an armbar, forcing the tapout at 3:10 of the fifth.
In the co-main event, a lackluster fight, Jon Fitch defeated Thiago Alves by unanimous decision with scores of 30-37 x 3, opening the doors for a possible rematch with welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre.
In other results: Clay Guida stopped Rafael Dos Anjos at 1:51 of round three by tapout; former champ Matt Hughes won with a technical submission over Ricardo Almeida at 3:15 of round one; Junior Dos Santos won a unanimous decision over Roy Nelson, scores of 30-27 twice and 30-26; Rick Story TKO'd Dustin Hazelett at 1:15 of round two; Phil Davis won by unanimous decision over Rodney Wallace; Johnny Hendricks TKO'd Charlie Brenneman at :40 of round two; Tim Boetsch decisioned Todd Brown, scores of 29-28 x 3; Stefan Struve TKO'd Christian Morecraft at :22 of round one; and Dennis Hallman scored a unanimous decision over Ben Saunders, 29-28, 30-27 and 29-28.

Vargas stops Arango

WBA #14 junior flyweight contender and former world champion Manuel 'Chango' Vargas (28-5-1, 13 KOs) won when WBC #8 Michael Arango (30-9-3, 24 KOs) could not come out for round six in a flyweight bout on Saturday night in the main event of the Tecate Boxing Tour's stop in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. The card took place in a special arena that was built outside of the Hector Espino baseball stadium.
In the co-feature, unbeaten bantamweight prospect Juan 'Gallito' Estrada (14-0, 12 KOs) impressively stopped former national Mexican champion Carlos Rodriguez (16-8-3, 5 KOs) in round two. Time was 2:52.
Unbeaten jr featherweight prospect Roberto Marroquin (15-0, 12 KOs) scored a TKO over Jesus Quintero (8-5-2, 4 KOs) at 1:40 of round three. Marroquin, from Dallas, trained for weeks with trainer Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, California before the fight.
Alexander defeats Kotelnik
By Brian Grammer at ringside
Undefeated WBC/IBF junior welterweight champ Devon Alexander (21-0, 13 KOs) won a harder then expected twelve round unanimous decision over former WBA champion Andriy Kotelnik (31-4, 13 KOs) in front of 9000+ hometown fans at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. Kotelnik gave Alexander all he could handle in a brutal fight. Alexander was busier, but Kotelnik landed the cleaner shots. In the end, all three judges had it 116-112 for Alexander. After the fight Alexander said he wants Tim Bradley next.
Lopez crushes Martinez
By Kurt Wolfheimer at ringside
Underdog Reynaldo Lopez (31-8-3, 22 KOs) needed just 81 seconds to destroy former WBO bantamweight champion Mauricio Martinez (35-10-1, 23 KOs) in a battle for the New York State super bantamweight title on Saturday night at the Aviator Sports Arena in Brooklyn, New York. Lopez floored Martinez three times in the abbreviated encounter, all with right hands.
Unbeaten super middleweight Lennox Allen (12-0-1, 7 KOs) and spoiler Darnell Boone (17-15-3, 7 KOs) fought to a methodical eight round draw. Scores were 78-74 Allen and 76-76 twice
Featherweight Gary Stark Jr. (23-3, 8 KOs) barely got past journeyman Leopoldo Arocha (10-13-2, 6 KOs), taking a majority decision by scores of 57-57, 58-56, 58-57. Arocha was docked a point for a low blow in round four. Click here for full report…
Early Results from St. Louis
By Brian Grammer at ringside
Note: Floyd Mayweather Jr., rumored to be possibly working with promoter Don King, is in the house.
In a good action fight, undefeated IBF light heavyweight titleholder Tavoris Cloud (21-0, 18 KOs) had to work hard to defeat former light heavyweight champ Glen Johnson (50-14-2, 34 KOs) by twelve round unanimous decision. The champion just a little too strong and too energetic for the 41-year-old Johnson, who gave a game effort. Scores were 116-112 on all cards.
In a shocker, Cornelius 'K9' Bundrage (30-4, 18 KOs) became the IBF Junior Middleweight Champion in stopping Cory "The Next Generation" Spinks (37-6, 11KOs) at 1:28 in the 5th round. The new champion battered Spinks around the ring for the majority of the contest. "K9" began the fight with constant pressure and never let off the gas in dispatching the former champ. Early in the 5th round, Spinks spun out of a corner and attempted to elude Bundrage, but slipped and and fell thru ropes to the apron. Upon resumption of the round, Bundrage moved forward and began to batter Spinks eventually knocking him down. At the count of nine, Spinks rose to his feet and when Referee Mark Nelson motioned to Spinks to follow him. The referee, not pleased with Spinks' look, waved his arms, bringing the fight to a somewhat controversial conclusion. (more…)

Report/gallery: Holm vs. Clampitt
Ringside report and photos by Chris Cozzone
That was the look on Holly Holm's face and the question on 2,800 fight fans' lips after less than two minutes of action, last night at the Hard Rock of Albuquerque.
No telling punches had landed. There was no blood, no falls to the canvas and no fouls committed, yet something had brought Holm's challenger, Jaime Clampitt, to her knees, then onto her back where she writhed in pain, shortly before the bell would've clanged to complete round one . . .

By Bob Ryder
Ronald "The Chosen One" Hearns and Brian "The Lion" Mihtar will square off in a 10 round middleweight contest on October 9 as the feature attraction across the river from Detroit at the Caesars Windsor Casino, Windsor, Canada. Hearns with a record of 25-1, 19 KO's will bring in decided advantages in height and reach while Mihtar at 13-1, 10 KO's will be seeking to test his taller opponent's chin. An intriguing match-up with lots of interest for Detroit area fans of each man. (more…)
Boschiero wins Italian title
By Enrico "Erik" Crociati
Italian warrior, undefeated Devis Boschiero (27-0, 12 KOs) became the new National 130 lbs champion yesterday night at the Risorgimento Central Square in Avezzano, Italy, after scoring a spectacular ninth round KO over local idol and co-challenger Ivan Fiorletta (24-7-2, 7 KOs). It was a tough and entertaining bout, both fighters gave more than expected and went toe-to-toe without any stop with screaming fans standing on their feet in a 'Mexican battle' atmosphere. (more…)
Boxing on the ice
WBC Super-Middleweight Champion Mikkel Kessler took a brief timeout from his busy training schedule in Berlin this week to visit Germany's top Ice Hockey team, Eisbären Berlin. The Viking Warrior will return to the ring on September 25 when he takes on Allan Green in their decisive Super Six World Boxing Classic Group Stage 3 clash. The fight will serve as the grand opening of the state-of-the-art MCH Multiarena in Herning. Since this summer, gifted Danish ice-hockey international Mads Christensen plays for Berlin, and he showed his countryman his skills during a brief training session on the ice. Kessler returned the favour by teaching Mads some light punching combinations which "might be useful on the ice." (more…)

Wilberth "Hurricane" Uicab (29-5-1, 18 KOs) retained his NABF flyweight title when William de Sousa (15-13-1, 13 KOs) didn't come out for round three on Friday night at the Gimnasio Sport City in Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Official time was :10 of round three. Uicab was in command from the beginning and landed some heavy blows in round two. (more…)
More on Martin-Avalos
Photos by Tom Casino/SHOWTIME
Chris Martin upset promising bantamweight Chris Avalos in the main event on ShoBox: The New Generation on SHOWTIME®. In the co-feature, Lateef Kayode knocked out Alfredo Escalera, Jr. to remain undefeated at the Grand Casino Hinckley in Hinckley, Minn.
Usually going by the nickname of "The San Diego Kid," Martin changed his moniker to "Marvelous" for this fight against Chris "The Hitman" Avalos to symbolize his belief that he'd defeat Avalos, much like "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler defeated Tommy "Hitman" Hearns in 1985. Although Avalos-Martin didn't play out quite as brutally as Hagler-Hearns, Martin (19-0-2), of San Diego, Calif., proved to be the better fighter for much of their 10-round distance bout. The split decision was scored 98-92 and 97-93 for Martin and 98-94 for Avalos, though the fans and telecast announcers were audibly surprised that Avalos won the card of judge John Mariano of Hugo, Minn.

What division are they in this year? & next year?
If the modified, j.v. & varsity teams all used the same playbook that might help. Modified was always fairly decent, then they went to J.V. and basically were used as tackling dummies for Varsity practice. All three teams should be on the same page - by the time the kids hit varsity you've got quite the team.
#3 Aug 14, 2009
You know all the answers. The problem is you must be a coach or close to one and you have 400 comments on this topics crap since June you need to hit the play book. Lets see what this year brings after the last couple of years have only brought laughs. We need Nick back and then we will win again. It is all about the coaching.

we need chris weeden on the field. best this thing to happen to the ilion grid iron since the dawn of time!
#5 Aug 14, 2009
these children nowadays have no determination to be better. they hit the sleds like a bunch of 7th grade girls and no one is yelling at them to pick it up. none of the kids take charge and yell, no energy in ilion. now go to watch the syracuse popwarner in thorden park, they are mad dogs hustling and chanting the whole practice. ilion kids live a nice soft exsistance in this new antibacterial world, there mom said its not important to try hard just dont get hurt. its sad. but its not just ilion its most of small town america where pride has gone the way of the horse and blame superceeds everything yearning for so hard pops coming off the practice field
#6 Aug 14, 2009

Hey dillweed - since I'm female, I'm obviously not a coach - not even the wife of one. Just a Mom who had kids that went to IHS. I've got eyes & ears - it's called observation. If you have any suggestions besides bitching, let's hear them.

Excuse me, I know a bunch of 7th grade girls that have more athleticism than most 10th grade boys! Sexism at it's best here. Maybe the reason the boys don't work as hard is because they live in a world where they think they don't have to just because of who or what (male privalge) they are. AND maybe some of the kids don't work as hard as they should because in Ilion, it's all about who you know or who you blow so if you or your family doesn't fall into that category, it doesn't matter HOW good you are.
#10 Aug 14, 2009
yeah i have seen the coach call some bad plays your there to coach not be the kids best friend
#11 Aug 14, 2009
Did any of you ever think the kids might be getting ready to play for Syracuse University someday....wait a minute......syracuse hasn't won a game in 50 years....the kids should be a perfect fit.

i lived in texas abt 10 years ago my kid went to high school so we would watch then practice and play games on friday nites you should see them its like watching pro ball pratice is like boot camp and its abt 105 degrees out every day o and the parent dont cry when there kids get screamed at

ilion kids should stick to a sport they are actually good at.date rape.

They need an old fashioned coach who won like Joe Bemis or Nick "the zit" Pannes
#15 Aug 16, 2009
you hit it right on the head
#16 Aug 17, 2009
also need old-fashioned parents that will allow the necessary disciplining required to win

from what I have read here, as unbelievable as it is, the parents in Ilion have pretty much ruined all sports up to the HS level. I'm disgusted.

What?- double sessions started today in 90 degree weather. Heard it WAS like boot camp. No complaints from this mom. Go take a look 9am again tomorrow. I think you are all full of it.

Need to bring back Corporal Punishment in schools again and more fear and discipline. Then the kids wont be potty mouthed disrespectful punks they are in public. If I talked the way they do today, either being overheard in public or to strangers, I'd have gotten my arse tanned but good and grounded. And we didn't have tons of toys like TVs, Video Games, Stereo systems, Cell phones, iPods, Blackberrys, and crap to keep us entertained even if stuck in your own bedroom. Choices were read a book, do homework or sit there and think about what you did to put yourself in this situation.
Did anyone ever have the balls to talk back to Mr. Lang, Coach Turley, Nick the Zit? Nope

Usability in general and web usability in particular are complex concepts with multiple dimensions and elements/attributes. What is more, there is no comprehensive definition that takes into account the varying aspects of usability. This leads to discrepancies in policies/standards/guidelines which facilitate good usability practices. To initially address this problem, we took the first step of systematically analyzing the terms represented in formally published definitions from a number of sources in the subject areas of library & information science and computer science/information systems. Our results reveal that there are approximately 11 elements/attributes of usability and web usability addressed within these sources. The top five attributes are: learnability, effectiveness, user-related attributes, users' attitude/satisfaction, and efficiency. However, other critical usability attributes received little to no attention in publications of either discipline.

An addendum to my post last week about the City of Tacoma figuring the costs of new union contracts: The city got back to me yesterday with more numbers.
These are the contracts that were negotiated last year. It appears it was good to go first: Four bargaining units representing 172 employees negotiated contracts with new salary schedules that boosted pay in many cases an average of 13 percent.
The total cost of pay raises for those four bargaining units: $1 million in 2009 and $1 million again this year. That brings us to a total of nine new contracts covering roughly 700 workers at a cost of $4.9 million through the end of 2010. That's on top of the additional $6 million the city and its utilities paid to reset the pay of 942 nonunion workers last year.
More pay raises are supposedly on deck. The city and its utilities have yet to settle with six bargaining units representing roughly 1,100 workers – provided City Manager Eric Anderson's reported pursuit of wage freezes doesn't preempt those negotiations. We should know more at noon, when Anderson presents his budget to a study session of the city council. The council has an executive session on labor negotiations scheduled after the budget discussion.
UPDATE: Anderson clarified at today's study session that his proposal for a wage freeze does not preclude bringing the remaining bargaining units to market pay by rejiggering salary scales. He did not say what he expects the costs of outstanding contracts to be.
Anderson also said, in response to a question from Councilman Jake Fey, that his budget proposal for the next two years is predicated on the assumption that he will be able to get all bargaining units to agree to not take a cost-of-living increase even if inflation would have normally dictated one under their current contracts. No word on what the impact to Anderson's proposed budget would be if he doesn't secure such understandings.

My thanks to a wonderful friend Khaylane " Butterfly " for sponsoring the memorial of my friend Nathen Martinez. A true earth Angel
In loving memory of our loving hero Nathen Paul Martinez, at 49 years young he went peacefully to be with his Lord and Savior Tuesday Morning February 26th,2013. He was a mentor to many and a loving example to his family, friends and colleagues. He was born on October 19th,1963 to Genevieve Gonzales and Nat Martinez in Denver Colorado. He is survived by his loving wife of 28 years Nanette Martinez, his sons Jonathan and Nathan Jr.
President and Founder of NM Industrial Services, he was a true leader, very ambitous and determined to create a foundation for his family, which is now his legacy. Nathen worked hard to establish his business even until his last days. Nathen was a great mentor and teacherand always wanted to share his passion with other people. He loved his ocupation and cared deeply for his colleagues just as they were his family. He started his business in March of 2004, and as it began to become established, he eventually brought all his 5 children to work. He was able to develope an infrastruture, with the children as the core, to continue on upon his absense. Nathen made sure his children understood the value of hard work and will power. He installed in them a life time full of knowledge that will now live in on all of them.
Nathen enjoyed spending time with his family, playing with his grandkids, and loved to golf, fish, travel, ride his motorcycle and gamble. The one thing that he loved most was to spend time with his best friend, soul-mate, his other half, and the love of his life, his wife:
Nathen was always approachable and always willing to help anybody out in any way that he could. Everyone loved and respected him. He had a strong energy about him that was like a magnet to everyone that he met. He always made a strong impression on everyone that he met. He enriched all of out lives.
Nathen lived a very short but yet fulfilled life. Nathen will never be forgotten and everyone will always cary him in their hearts forever until we reunite with his again in paradise. We all loved him dearly and we wish we could of made him stay but God broke our hearts that morning to prove that he only takes the best.
Nathen and I grew up and went to school together. We were also neighbors living only about three houses away. There are many fond childhood memories that I will always keep in my heart. Always@Forever...~
The Mass and the Rosary was held in his honor at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, located at 7595 Federal Blvd. Westminister Colorado. Nathen is layed to rest at Mount Olivet located at 12801 W.44th Ave. Wheat Ridge Colorado. To celebrate Nathen's life, the reception was held at Church Ranch Event Center, located at 10200 Wadsworth Blvd. Westminister Colorado.

Indonesian logging ban covers primary forests
Jakarta: Indonesia on Friday banned logging in primary forests and peatlands for two years as part of a $1 billion deal with Norway to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, officials said.
But environmentalists doubted whether the long-awaited moratorium would protect any significant areas of forest that were not already protected, or make any reductions to the massive archipelago`s carbon footprint.
"It still creates potential for Indonesia to destroy its natural forests," said Elfian Effendi, executive director of policy analysis group Greenomics.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono signed a decree authorising the moratorium late Thursday but its details were released on Friday, a year after he secured financial backing for the plan during talks in Oslo.
Presidential advisor on climate change Agus Purnomo told reporters the moratorium would cover primary forests and peatlands but not natural forests as environmental groups such as Greenpeace had hoped.
Logging would be banned in "forests that haven`t been touched by humans and where there has been no concession activity before," he said.
"With the two-year moratorium, the government will have the time to improve permits, standardisation and other things that can be developed in the context of emissions reduction from deforestation and use of peatlands," Purnomo said.
The ban on new logging concessions -- valuable assets for pulp, paper and palm oil companies -- applies to 64.02 million hectares (158.2 million acres) of primary forests and 24.5 million hectares of peatland, he said.
An official statement said the moratorium was "intended to balance and harmonise economic development with social development, cultural promotion and environmental protection".
It was part of a "comprehensive national effort" to combat climate change through a UN-backed scheme known as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD).
REDD promises to arrest the release of greenhouse gases from the destruction of forests and carbon-dense peatlands by having rich nations pay emerging countries to preserve their jungles and woodlands.
They also tracked and adjusted the data for levels of CLA and calcium and found they may have a protective effect. Protective effects lessened in the highest quintile, however.
The study is published in advance online in the journal Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases.
