Product Description
Product Description
Some pundits called it a flawed, exploitative action film that glamorized drug dealing and the luxury of a lucrative criminal lifestyle, spawning a trend of films that attracted youth gangs and provoked violence in theaters. Others hailed it as a breakthrough movie that depicted drug dealers as ruthless, corrupt, and evil, leading dead-end lives that no rational youth would want to emulate. However you interpret it, New Jack City is still one of the first and best films of the 1990s to crack open the underworld of cocaine and peer inside with its eyes wide open. It's also the film that established Wesley Snipes as an actor to watch, with enough charisma to bring an insidious quality of seduction to his role as coke-lord Nino Brown, and enough intelligence to portray a character deluded by his own sense of indestructible power. Director Mario Van Peebles stretched his otherwise-limited talent to bring vivid authenticity and urgency to this crime story, and subplots involving a pair of tenacious cops (Ice-T, Judd Nelson) and a recovering coke addict (Chris Rock) provide additional dramatic tension. Although some critics may hesitate to admit it, New Jack City deserves mention in any serious discussion about African American filmmakers and influential films. --Jeff Shannon

I first saw this in 1993 and was totally blown away by the directing, cinematography, script and acting and so I was really looking forward to seeing it again after an absence of almost thirteen years. But after seeing this a second time, I could scarcely believe I was watching a film I had remembered very well. In 1994 I would have given this film 5 out of 5 but instead I've given it a 4 due to its frail ending.
New Jack City (1991) is an interesting movie that aims to please. This film marks the first time Mario Van Peebles directed a theatrical released film (that his father helped co-write) and he co-stars in the film as well. The movie follows a small time hood Nino Brown (Wesley Snipes) who builds up a vast criminal empire by flooding the streets with crack cocaine. Ice-T and Judd Nelson co-stars as well as two unorthodox cops who want to lock up Nino Brown. Allen Payne (Gee Money) and Mario van Peebles himself (Stone) has also giving some approved performances in here.
The acting is not the strongest part of this film but to me, three men made this film worthy of attention which is Wesley, Ice-T, and Rock. Chris Rock is unforgettable in this movie and he shines in his role as the "crack-head" Pookie. He has so many one-liners that are hysterical funny. The real winner is truly Wesley Snipes, who plays a role we don't usually identify with him, and does so with considerable spirit. He is utterly believable; the scene where he describes first killing someone while high on drugs scared the crap out of me - this is not someone I want as a friend! - Which happens to be a central theme of this film.Read more ›
It funny to see the size of cell phones back then, but the hair styles were pretty ridiculous too. Ice T is no Slash, but he can wear a top hat in the rain just as easily. Judd Nelson has a race problem in this movie, He can't tell the difference between himself, a white cop, and Pookie, a black crackhead. He finally settle the matter buy proclaiming he is 'Poor White Trash Pookie'.
In the end though, the message is clear. "If you've lost everything, you might as well cut loose and run. You never know, the libraian you shot may have a son coming to take you down." Or another moral of the story is "Avoid crazy old men on the stairs when you leave the courtroom."
Besides Ice T's (Scotty) and Snipes (Nino), all the other characters seemed so false. Even though those are the two main characters, if all your other characters arent believeable, the whole movie falls apart. The chief of police is like someone out of a cartoon. Chris Rock (Pookie) isnt funny and does his part no justice. Mario Van Peebles is a joke
Apparently a drug syndicate is able to take over and entire apartment building in NYC...for years!! Its amazing isnt it. They can ride up in a drop top jeep and shoot people point blank in the head in broad daylight and not get caught. The story is just so hard to swallow.
Also the cinematography is really sub par. There is no artistry in any of the shots even in the dialogue. It also seems like the entire movie moves too fast for the events that are supposedly taking place. There are no subtle nuances at all in this film. I would say dont waste your time, the movie isnt really exciting at all, the performances are boring as is the plot. Go watch Juice.

Hey all,
This is a bit strange, and I have a feeling it is caused by something I did.
I had widget logic installed and working correctly. At some point in my theme development (and unfortunately I cannot confirm when) conditional widgets stopped showing up. It works if I delete any of the conditionals (and allow it to run on all pages) but as soon as I add something like, is_page() it will not show up at all. I did build a CPT and I am pretty sure that it worked before I added the Custom Post Type, but I can't for the life of me rationalize why that would cause it to break.
Any suggestions?

Raiders rookie coach Dennis Allen had his media conference at the NFL Combine this morning and was asked about Oakland's contracts, Darren McFadden's future and the Raiders' lack of draft picks. CSNBayArea.com's Matt Maiocco is in Indianapolis and attended the presser. Following, then, is a transcript of Allen's Q&A, provided by Maiocco...Question: The Raiders were talking to a lot of linebackers and Defensive ends at the Senior Bowl, Kamerion Wimbley has contract issues, where are you with that?Allen: I think obviously, defensively, that is going to be a priority for us. I think I was really pleased with what the Raiders were able to do last year offensively. I know from having to defend against them, they were a real challenge to defend. Defensively, if you look at the defensive rankings, not too different than what the situation I came into last year with Denver. So its obviously a high priority for us and weve got to get better in that area.
Q: Where do things stand with Wimbley, Michael Huff, players that may or may not have contract issues?A: Right now, with all those guys, were looking at all our options and what we have to do from a financial standpoint to make sure we put ourselves in the best position to get the best players out there and be on our final 53-man roster. So between Reggie and myself, were working through all those scenarios right now.Q: Expect more changes besides Stanford Routt?A: Well, there will obviously be changes, I dont know what those changes will be yet. Those are all the scenarios that were going through right now.Q: Where are things with Michael Bush, franchise tag candidate?A: Again, were going to look at all those options. I wont get into the specifics of exactly what were going to do and exactly what our plan is going to be, but I will tell you this, but we will look at all of our existing free agents, were going to look at all of our existing players that are under contract that have high numbers and were going to evaluate what we need to do to give the organization a chance to be successful.Q: Are you excited about going up against the Broncos twice a year?A: I think Im excited about going up against everybody next year. I wouldnt single them out any differently. I obviously have a lot of respect for what theyve done over there. I think John Elway, Brian Xanders, John Fox, do a tremendous job and I know theyll have the team ready to play whenever we go up against them and well do our best to have our team ready to play going up against them.Q: you mentioned at the press conference that you think too much is made of 4-3, 3-4 system. Have you identified a primary base defense or is that something you're working through?A: Those are really all the things were still working through. Well see, after we go through free agency, after we go through the draft, which grouping gives us the best chance to be successful. I would expect that well be very multiple in that regard.Q: What can you tell us about Jason Tarver, your choice for Defensive Coordinator?A: I think Jason Tarver is an extremely bright young coach. He was a part of the San Francisco 49ers defenses, and I thought they were extremely well coached, extremely talented, when I interviewed Jason, there was no doubt in my mind that this is a guy who had answers for everything. Im extremely excited about working with him, and I think, with him and the defensive staff as well as myself being involved in the defense, Im excited about our opportunities.Q: How hands on will you be with the defense?A: Ill be involved. Ill be involved in both aspects of the team. Offense, defense, special teams, all of it. But I would say, especially this first year, Ill probably spend a little bit more time with the defense.Q: Thoughts on the development of Rolando McClain?A: He was a guy that was picked real high in the draft, and I still see a lot of talent in Rolando McClain. I got a chance to speak with him the other day. I think hes excited about coming in, and being involved with the new regime. Were going to give him every opportunity to prove that hes the type of player that hes capable of being. I think if hes willing to come in and work and do the things we ask him to do, hell reach that potential.Q: Greg Knapps offenses featured a lot of bootlegs, zone blocking, can Carson Palmer fit with Knapps scheme?A: I think absolutely he can fit. And I also think that part of what we do as coaches is we have a system that were going to run, but were going to try and put our players in the best position for them to be successful. Were not going to force-feed something if it doesnt fit what a guy does really well, were not going to force-feed that. But I do think when you look at Carson Palmer, that he does have the same type of athleticism. Hes as athletic as Matt Schaub, who they had in Houston, to really be really be able to run that same package.Q: Did you want to speak about Ed Donatell about a spot on your staff?A: There are a lot of people that I considered, that I had on my list, and Ed would have been one of those guys that I had on my list, but I think once I had an opportunity to really sit down and talk to Jason, there was no question in my mind that he was the guy.Q: When did you start getting into the draft?A: Well, I spent the first couple of weeks trying to put together a coaching staff, so it was just really recently that weve really kind of gotten involved in the draft. We had the free agents that we had to evaluate as a coaching staff, and were kind of in the introductory process of getting ready for the draft.Q: Is it less of a priority because you have so few picks?A: No, I dont think so. I told the coaching staff the other day, the most important thing that we can be doing right now is picking players, and making sure we got the right guys on our team, and so the offensive scheme, the defensive scheme, thats going to take care of itself, but weve got to make sure weve got the right guys to be a part of this football team, so theres nothing more important to us right now than making sure we get the right guys.Q: How is McFaddens foot, any chance he wouldnt be back next year?A: Not as far as Im concerned. I think hes an extremely dynamic player. Again, from playing the Oakland Raiders twice last year, they were much more challenging to defend when Darren McFadden was in the backfield, and having that kind of two-headed monster between him and Bush, that was a real challenge. Darren is a vital part of what were going to try and get done next year.Q: Is his foot better?A: Yes, his foot is better. He was back in town, working out last week, and we got a good evaluation on him. Darren will be ready to go whenever we get ready to kick off the season, thats for sure.Q: McFadden and his chronic foot problems, anything the organization has looked at, practice fields, etc.?A: Were looking at everything within the organization, how we can improve in every aspect of the organization, and obviously practice fields is one of the things that were looking at. Is there something we can do to improve that, and is their a co-relation between the foot injuries and the practice fields. If we can deduce there is a co-relation between the two well do everything we can to get them right.Q: Matt Shaughnessy, Jacoby Ford, theyre good to go?A: Absolutely, theyll be ready to roll.Q: With Routt gone, there any chance free safety Michael Huff moves to cornerback?A: Again, that question is to be determined after we find out exactly who we have on the team to find out what are options are. The one thing do I do know about Michael Huff is hes an extremely good athlete and he has skills athletically of a corner, and so that obviously would be an option for us, but again, we wont make any decisions along those lines until we know exactly what we got.Q: How would you describe first couple of months on the job? Anything unexpected, surprises?A: Fast. Fast. Well, I think one of the things that you find out as a head football coach is that its difficult to put together a good staff, because theres a lot of guys that you might want to try to get that you cant get out of other contracts and different roadblocks and hurdles that you got to jump over, but I think we weathered that storm and the one thing that I wanted to make sure that we did, was I didnt want to rush into anything or hurry into anything, and I think having that patience allowed us to put together a good staff.Q: Performance of offensive line last year part of the reason Steve Wisniewski was retained, for continuity?A: Yeah, I think keeping some of that continuity within the offensive line. I think there was an element there that we wanted some people that did have some knowledge of the Raiders organization and the way that things have been done in the past, and I think hes obviously, I wouldnt say hes a bright young coach, but Id say hes a bright and up and coming coach and I was really impressed with him when I met him for the very first time.Q: Raiders of past reputation for putting emphasis on speed. Whats your feeling on where 40 time fits into player evaluation?A: It only fits after we find out whether this guy on tape when we look at him, if we feel like hes a good football player. Thats where 40 times come into effect. If you got two guys that when you look at the tape, these guys are about the same football playing wise, well lets take the faster guy. But were not going to take guys just because they run real fast. Because that doesnt co-relate to being a good football player.Q: How much of the team do you think youve actually spoken to, guys under contract?A: Ive probably spoken to about 75 percent of the team, and I think everybody is really excited about getting in and getting started and being a part of the offseason program and being a part of what were going to try and do and how were going to be a little bit different.Q: Richard Seymour part of long-term plan?A: Weve spoken with Richard, and hes excited about the opportunity, and Richard is obviously part of our plans and we feel real good about Richard.Q: With penalties such a big issue, how do you clear that up?A: I think the first and foremost thing is guys have to be held accountable for their actions. Thats always what I believed in, and I think now with the organizational structure I feel about our ability to hold our guys accountable to do the right things, for the right reasons and doing it that way all the time. And well preach that message and preach that message, and well hold guys accountable to doing it the right way.Q: How have you and Reggie McKenzie worked together putting things together?A: First and foremost, I think our relationship has been outstanding. Weve discussed every situation that comes up, weve always discussed it. Ive come to him with questions about coaching staff, hes come to me with questions about personnel issues, and I think thats the way you run a top quality organization, when your head coach and your general manager can see eye to eye, and can have conversations, and we might not always agree, but at the end of the day weve got to make sure we can come to the best decision for the Raiders and thats what Im excited about working with Reggie, because hes a top quality human being and I think hes an excellent talent evaluator.Later, after finishing at the podium, Allen spoke with a gaggle of reporters. Following is that exchangeQ: How do you create your own culture while showing respect to the Raiders tradition?A: I think that's, first and foremost, what you have to be able to recognize and understand is that not everything was bad. There are a lot of good qualities about the Raiders organization. And I understand that and I respect that. What we have to do is, just like anything else, you try to keep what was good and you try to improve on what might not have been as good. That's where we're at and what we're trying to do. We're going through that balancing act and find out who are those high-quality people within the organization and let them shine. That's what Reggie and I are trying to do.Q: What comes to mind when you think about the good things?A: There are obviously some bright people in the organization. I think they've done a really good job within the organization of putting together some top-quality people that really know what they're doing. I think Marc Badain in finance has done a really good job. I think he's a top-quality guy. There are several things I think is good about the organization.Q: With the salary cap issues, how do you feel about being able to bring in what you need?A: I think, obviously, we got some work to do. But I feel confident in our ability to do that. Again, Reggie is an excellent talent evaluator and we're going to have to work hard to find guys who fit our system. We might not go out and make the big explosion, big name in free agency. But, then again, it's not always the big name who has the biggest impact. So we're looking for guys, no matter what their name is, or what their contract might be, we're looking for guys who can have an impact in the organization and an impact on our team.Q: What about the challenge of the salary cap and so few draft picks?A: I would say challenges is the proper word. It's nothing that can't be overcome. And I think we look forward to the challenge. Nothing in life that is ever worth anything comes easy. We really feel that way. Somebody told a long time ago that tough times don't last but tough people do. That's what we're trying to do. We're going to everything we can to put the best team on the field. Whatever those challenges that might come our way, we're going to have to navigate through them.Q: What does your offseason look like? When will you be able to get your hands on your guys?A: April 2 is the first time players can be in for new head coaches. That's when we'll expect to have a full load of players in and get an opportunity to start working with them and start talking football.Q: Is that a date you're looking forward to?A: Absolutely. That's why we're in this business because of the players and getting an opportunity to work with them.Q: McFadden in the past has expressed a liking to quick-hitting plays and Greg Knapp runs a lot of one-cut zone stuff?A: We're going to give him the opportunity to be successful. Whatever gives him that opportunity, that's what we're going to do. I will say this, when you look at the running games that Greg has been a part of, they've all been very successful with a lot of different of styles of runners. And even look at what Darren was able to do a couple years ago really running the same scheme with Tom Cable. I think Darren McFadden will be successful in any type of running game that you put him in because he's that explosive.Q: He has skills as a receiver that haven't totally been exploited yet, is that something Greg will look for?A: Again, we're going to try to put him in the best positions for him to be successful. We're going to try to get our best football players the ball, however that might be.Q: Was it disappointing not to be able to bring some of the Broncos assistants with you?A: Yeah, but you know what? I totally understand the situation, and that's the rules of the game that we play by. So just got to accept it and move on and I can't say that I would've done anything differently than what they did.Q: How many did you want to bring from Denver?A: There was a couple. (Richard Smith) was one that I wanted to try to talk to.Q: How did Jason Tarver get on your radar?A: Jason Tarver got on the radar screen, I've know Jason for a long time. He and I have followed each other for a while. I talked to Greg Manusky and as we were talking in there, Jason was one of those guys I was also looking at. I just think the guy's a real smart, innovative football coach.

Goodbye analog: TV makes the switch at midnight
You've had plenty of warning that your ancient TV set won't function starting tomorrow, but we understand the procrastination. At 12:01 a.m., all TV signals will go digital, which means your analog TV (bunny-ear sets) won't function anymore.
So in case you're scrambling to figure out this new technology, there will be people there to help you out at Powderhorn Park.
If you currently subscribe to cable TV, you won't see a change in your service. The "Goodbye to Analog" event Friday afternoon will help residents get their TV signal back in a new form.
Event details:

Powderhorn Park, South Minneapolis

Exploring the New Internet
Modern websites bear little resemblence to their legacy predecessors. We'll show you why the new web is different and how you can benefit from the system of technologies we know collectively as Web 2.0.
Wikipedia, Google, and Myspace are shooting stars in the constellation of web content providers as we move on into a new millennium. These sites have one thing in common: a radical renunciation of the legacy concepts associated with the old World Wide Web. The companies embrace new technologies, and a new way of thinking that has come to be called Web 2.0. You'll see some examples of new Internet technologies in this month's Linux Magazine cover story. A Brief History Academics were the first users of World Wide Web; the web rested easily upon the foundation of preceding technologies, such as archie and gopher, and it provided an efficient means for scholars to share their work. In the mid-90s, private companies started using the web as an inexpensive and highly effective platform for sales and marketing.

I am not too brilliant with CSS or coding, and am really wanting to center the image in this great plugin. How would I go about doing that?
It is at the website: http://www.goodnessmatters.com
I am not too brilliant with CSS or coding, and am really wanting to center the image in this great plugin. How would I go about doing that?
It is at the website: http://www.goodnessmatters.com
I think I'm going to add this in as a configurable option to the plugin sometime in the next week or so. But if you're not afraid to get your hands dirty with some CSS, I think this will accomplish what you want in your particular theme:
- Open your theme's stylesheet (yours looks like its called layout.css) under Appearance > Editor.
- Scroll to the very bottom and add these lines:
#sidebars ul#pretty-pinterest-pins-widget li.pretty-pinterest-pin div.pretty-pinterest-image{
margin: auto;
#sidebars ul#pretty-pinterest-pins-widget li.pretty-pinterest-pin, #sidebars ul#pretty-pinterest-pins-widget li.pretty-pinterest-follow-me{
text-align: center;
- The second block centers the "follow me button", so don't have to add that part if you only want the pin image centered
Let me know if you have any trouble with it and I can take a look again
I followed the instructions (I am using Thesis), and put it in the Custom CSS stylesheet. The "Follow Me" button centered beautifully, but for some reason the image still won't center.
Thanks for being so helpful. I appreciate it very much.
Hmm weird...I think your stylesheet has a typo at the very beginning of it that is causing it to ignore the first block of styles that you added.
In your custom.css, the first lines are supposed to be commented out like this:
File: custom.css
Description: Custom styles for Thesis
More Info: http://diythemes.com/thesis/rtfm/custom-css/
Yours is missing the first slash. Try adding a "/" at the very beginning and see if that fixes the issue
Thank you so much. Is there a way to donate to your plugin?
No problem. I don't have a donate link, a positive rating is good enough for me :) Let me know if you have any other issues, thanks for using the plugin
I have done all that you suggested above to center the images and follow button but I'm still having no success centering it all. Any suggestions?
The code above was specifically for the theme that mommacrocodile was using. If you replace where it says #sidebars with the div id that your sidebar is within, it should work for you too. If you post a link to where I can see the plugin, I can take a look at it. Your current link says its coming soon

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Gov. Charlie Crist will have the final say on a controversial health bill coming out of the Republican-led Legislature that includes some anti-abortion measures.
The House passed the measure (HB 1143) Friday on a 76-44 vote after four hours of emotionally charged debate. Democrats said it was little more than an attempt to persuade women they shouldn't have an abortion. The Senate passed the bill Thursday.
Democrats were particularly upset that the bill requires women to pay for expensive ultrasound exams even if they don't want to see the image. The only way a woman wanting an abortion could not see the image would be to provide a legal document that she had been raped or a victim of incest or domestic violence.

The Disobedience of Water: Stories and Novellas (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Evoking passion and heartbreak., intelligence and unapologetic humanity, these eight beautifully crafted stories explore the boundary conditions between the self and others. Although social realities -- racial and ethnic tensions, sexual harassment, and abuse -- make up their background, these are really love stories in which people discover and forgive one another. A daughter finds her father's kindness extends beyond her and their family; a wife discovers and forgives the affair between her husband and best friend; and, in the title story which takes the form of a letter to an almost-lover, the narrator winds through swirling eddies of memory and language to relate her present and past lives and the loves that have informed them.
Written with a masterful sureness of hand and heart, these captivating, intimate stories display Sena Jeter Naslund's extraordinary presence as one of today's most rewarding writers of fiction.

Off-duty Okla. cop kills prison escapee during robbery attempt
Darnell King approached the officer's open garage and threatened him with a gun, the officer led him into the house and shot him
By Adam Kemp
The Oklahoman
OKLAHOMA CITY — A man killed by an off-duty Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper Friday in Oklahoma City was a state Corrections Department escapee, authorities said.
Darnell King, 22, was shot when he attempted to rob off-duty trooper John Marion in the 200 block of NE 2. King later died at a hospital during emergency surgery.
King had been serving a three-year sentence at the Oklahoma City Community Correction Center for assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a stolen vehicle out of Tulsa County.
King was moved recently to the low-security Carver Transitional Center in south Oklahoma City, but went missing from the halfway house Friday, corrections officials said.
Police said the trooper was in his garage with the garage door open when King pointed a gun at him and demanded his belongings.
The trooper led the man to the home's second floor, where the trooper used his gun to shoot the man, police said.
Police have linked King to an attempted kidnapping and robbery occurring the same day he was shot. That incident involved a woman and her child who were assaulted in the 400 block of N Central as they were entering their vehicle. The two locations are within a few blocks of each other.

Important considerations for ACER ASPIRE V5-473 drivers :
Sometimes several installation have to be attempted if you bought your ASPIRE V5-473 a long time ago, as the files are recent. The most recent driver isn't always the most adapted for you. Unknown bugs may be contained in it. First of all it is necessary to install the driver that dates from the same period as your ASPIRE V5-473. Your ASPIRE V5-473 may work better with a later driver. Install it for better performances. Most of the drivers in the list below are designed to be used in computers equipped with WINDOWS. MICROSOFT developed it in 1995 and there have been 13 different versions since. Until Windows Millenium, also called Windows Me, Windows operating systems were purely graphic extensions of the MS-DOS core, Bill Gates spearhead. MS-DOS organises files and directories on the hard drive (notably in a contents table), manages competitive acces to files and allows users to interact with these files thank to a simplified set of instructions. Windows has been credited with the system of visual organisation using windows (which become interactive with the mouse's curser), whereas mac computers had already been using this design for 5 years before the launch of windows 3.1. However it is now known that it was the company XEROX who came up with this idea. With Windows NT, Microsoft gave up on an MS-DOS core that was too limited in terms of access to the drive. This system, the fruit of a 6-year collaboration with IBM sees the break with MS-DOS. It is notably multi-user. Microsoft's most recent operating systems still contain the NT core. From the beginnings of Windows NT there followed Windows 2000, XP, Vista and now Seven. If you have Windows NT, the system used NTFS to format its drives. On the other hand, older version all use FAT32, dependent on MS-DOS, to save data in its files. Since Windows NT, Microsoft offer up-dates grouped together into service packs, which have large repercussions on a computer's performance. To install a driver for your ASPIRE V5-473, you first need to check you version of Windows, as well as the formatting of the drives, as well as the version of your service pack.
johnsondrivers.com isn't responsible for a bad installation on your part that could damage you hard-drive, or cause the loss of data. The ACER website will inform you of all the new products of the brand. Never disable your anti-virus programme during the installation of a driver. Let it check the integrity of all data contained in it. Read attentively the user manual of your ASPIRE V5-473 before installing the driver. You will see if you have to do anything physical like restarting your computer. Your device use very heavy drivers. Downloading can be interrupted as the files are very heavy, even if you have broadband. It is better to download the files from your home or office in order to not pay too much and to run the risk of it not working anyway. If there is a lot of free space on your hard drive, make a copy of the files below for extra security. Otherwise save the link for this page. The list of files that follows also contains updates. The presence of a driver in your ASPIRE V5-473 is necessary in order to be able to update it. These updates will no doubt allow you to increase the power of your ASPIRE V5-473 as long as your driver is already stable. Your driver's configuration shouldn't be modified by this update.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing on a peaceful protest in the Afghan capital on Saturday that killed at least 80 people and wounded more than 200, marking the first time the extremists have struck Kabul and raising fears of their growing strength and capability in Afghanistan.
Joe Root's double century and three wickets from Chris Woakes put England on course for a series-levelling win in the second Test against Pakistan at Old Trafford on Saturday. Pakistan ended the second day having collapsed to 57 for four in reply to England's first innings 589 for eight declared, a huge deficit of 532 runs. Root's Test-best 254, just the sixth double hundred scored in 132 years of Test cricket at Old Trafford, saw him bat for more than 10 hours.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Brown lets fists do talking
World Extreme Cagefighting® featherweight champion Mike Brown isn't one to offer predictions. The quiet 34-year-old from Portland, Maine would rather let the fans and media banter about the outcomes of the sport's top fights. However, as he prepares for his third title defense against feared striker Jose Aldo (15-1) on Nov. 18, Brown (22-4) offered a little insight on how he thinks the clash will play out. (more…)

Bernstein high on Kessler-Ward
Hall of Fame Showtime Broadcaster Al Bernstein calls the November 21st Mikkel Kessler-Andre Ward Super Six World Boxing Classic match, "potentially one of the best of the tournament." Bernstein, who will be at ringside with Gus Johnson and Antonio Tarver to call the action on Showtime, believes that this first round Super Six match-up features the two best ring technicians in the tourney. "Mikkel Kessler is close to a textbook boxer and he has power added into that mix. Andre Ward has a vast amateur background and has moved carefully through the pro ranks, so he has fully developed as a fighter. They both have a high skill level and I believe they will produce a terrific fight," Bernstein said.
This match concludes the first stage of the Super Six World Boxing Classic. In round one Carl Froch won a decision over Andre Dirrell to gain two points in the standings and Arthur Abraham stopped Jermain Taylor in the 12th to put three points up on the scoreboard. The Ward-Kessler match can be seen on Saturday on Showtime.
Yuri Foreman NYC Celebration
New world champion Yuri Foreman will be honored at a Top Rank press function on Thursday in New York City. "It's more of a celebration than a press conference," said Bob Arum of Top Rank. "All of us at Top Rank are excited for Yuri and what he accomplished in the ring on Saturday night." Foreman, saying he fought 'the best fight fight of my life,' scored knockdowns in the second and 12th rounds to win a decision over Daniel Santos of Puerto Rico on Top Rank's 'Firepower' PPV which featured Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto. Foreman won by scores of 117-109, 117-109, 116-110 to win the WBA Super Welterweight Championship title belt. "I'm going see my rabbi," Foreman said in the ring Saturday night. He is the first Orthodox Jew to win a world championship in nearly 70 years. Murray Wilson, co-manager of Foreman, said he was "awestruck" while watching Foreman put pressure and heat on Santos to capture the world title. "This is what we all dreamed about for such a long time," Wilson said.

Aldo ready to be champ
While the combat sports community is focused on the likes of Randy Couture, Brandon Vera, Dan Hardy, and Mike Swick this weekend, there is a fiery Brazilian who believes that he'll soon captivate the world's attention.
Jose Aldo, a 23-year-old explosive striker in the World Extreme Cagefighting® featherweight division, is riding a five-fight win streak in the organization, including an eight-second TKO over Cub Swanson in his last fight in June. Just days away from his first world title shot against champion Mike Brown at The Palms Casino in Las Vegas on Nov. 18, the native of Rio de Janeiro feels that his time to rule the featherweight division has come.

WBA Convention opens
By Boxing Bob Newman

Brown, Aldo set for mega-fight
It's a mega-fight, so why is Mike Brown calling No. 1 challenger Jose Aldo, an explosive knockout artist and past world champ in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, "just another top, well-rounded fighter?" It's a mega-fight, so why is Aldo trying to mentally ignore that the WEC featherweight title will be on the line? . . . Click here for more by Frank Curreri, WEC
Vicente edges Lorenzo
By Robert Coster
It was billed as a Dominican "Civil War" and it turned out to be exactly that. A war. Former Jr lightweight contender Francisco Lorenzo, 130, and prospect Jenifel Vicente, 127, battered each other for 10 rounds, bringing the crowd at the Teo Cruz Coliseum in Santo Domingo to its feet. The early part of the incredibly violent slugfest belonged to the veteran Lorenzo (34-7, 15 KOs), much more pedigreed than his young opponent. Vicente (15-0-2, 9 KOs) however turned things around in the second portion of the bout as the older fighter began to tire. The fight was up for grabs until the last round and Vicente just did a little more in the last minutes to escape with a razor thin split decision. It was a memorable battle that will have Dominican fans talking for a while. Also on the seven-bout card offered by Manguita Promotions, jr welterweight prospect Julio Reyes (13-0) won a rather controversial 8th round TKO over unlucky Franklin Gonzalez (12-2).
Funeka to be tested
By Ron Jackson
Ali Funeka will have his second crack at the IBF lightweight belt when he meets Joan Guzman from the Dominican Republic for the vacant belt in Quebec, Canada on November 28. In February this year, the 31-year-old Funeka (30-2-2, 25 KOs) was outpointed by Nate Campbell when challenging for the IBF and WBO belts. Funeka who is now managed by Butityi Konki and trained by Vuyani and Dudu Bungu faces possibly the toughest fight of his career against Guzman, 33, who fights out of Brooklyn, New York and is unbeaten in 20 fights with 17 wins inside the distance.

Tucker inducted to NJBHOF
On November 12, 2009, Lindsey Tucker, IBF Championships Chairman, was inducted into the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame during its 40th annual dinner and induction ceremony held at the Venetian in Garfield, New Jersey. Like many in the sport of Boxing, Lindsey Tucker started out as a young fan. In 1981 came his opportunity to be professionally involved in the sport when he was hired by former world heavyweight champion and New Jersey Boxing Commissioner "Jersey" Joe Walcott to work as an inspector for the New Jersey State Athletic Commission. He progressed with the commission and later went on to work as chief inspector, judge and timekeeper. Tucker has been involved with the IBF since its inception in 1983, when he became an associate member of what was then the USBA-I. In June of 2002 he was elected to the organization's Board of Directors. (more…)
Gorres gives thumbs up
More good news was reported on former world title challenger Z Gorres as he made more improvement today. While team members were talking words of encouragement to him he opened his left eye and managed to give uthe thumbs up sign with his right thumb. The nurse caring for Gorres stated he had done the same thing for her earlier which is a good sign. Fightnews will continue to give updates on the continued progress of Gorres. Gorres won a unanimous decision victory over Luis Melendez on Friday night in Las Vegas. Moments later he collapsed to the canvas and was taken on a stretcher to University Medical Center's trauma unit where he underwent surgery to relieve pressure on his brain.
Floyd demands Pacman call out
"Manny Pacquiao is the fighter and every time someone asks him if he wants to fight me, he says it is up to his promoter, he's going to take a vacation, whatever the answer is," said Mayweather today. "I have yet to hear him actually say, 'yes I want to fight Mayweather.' We are the fighters and if one fighter is talking about fighting another fighter, then they should just come out and say it. Manny Pacquiao doesn't say anything directly about fighting me because he might just know it's not a fight he can win. He said during an interview he did leading up to his fight that he didn't think I wanted to fight him and that boxing for me was just a business and I wasn't interested in a good fight. But again, he never said during that interview that he would fight me. Why is he talking about what I won't do instead of what he wants to do? Plain and simple, it's because he knows he can't beat me under any circumstances." (more…)
