Re: Account added and no increase?
Multiple factors at play, so like all things in scoring, it depends.
First, once reported, the acct will effect your avg age of accounts. If you AAoA prior to reporting was higher than the AAoA of this acct, it would lower your AAOA.
Having timely payments adds to score primarily due to its increasing impact on AAoA. Lack of delinquencies is a matter of not doing harm rather than providing a direct score increase.
Second, its util is now being scored. Since it's an installment acct, very little impact, as installments are not weighted much under bal vs loan amt.
They dont represent % util of a revolving CL or LOC.
If you already had other installments, then addition of a new one will most likely not have much affect on improving your mix of credit....

You could assign a keyboard shortcut to move the app with focus to a specific desktop. Can't find this in Lion. Anyone know if it's still possible?
I figured out how to do this.
Guess there is a mouse component to this, so it's not pure keyboard. But I find it way easier than dragging windows around in mission control.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- A San Diego woman has been arrested after police say she rammed her ex-boyfriend's car and then ran over his new girlfriend.
The Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/1nmN1kY ) says 23-year-old Shantelle Glass was arrested Friday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder. She remains jailed Saturday.
Police say the woman spotted her boyfriend in the Oak Park neighborhood around 10:30 p.m. Friday and rammed his car several times.
When a 26-year-old woman got out of the car, police say Glass ran her over. The driver fled but was later arrested.
Authorities say the victim's injuries are significant but not life-threatening.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
Earlier this week Marvel sent out the cover to Avengers vs. X-Men #0, which kicks off their big round-robin crossover by Brian Michael Bendis, Jonathan Hickman, Jason Aaron and a slew of other big-name creators.
The cover they sent out by Frank Cho has a fairly large "A vs. X" logo covering up some of Cho's artwork, so if you're curious to see what — and who — is under the logo, Cho has shared the logo-less artwork on his blog. Hey look, it's Ultron!
The #0 issue by Bendis, Aaron and Cho comes out in March.
Why can't they just push his background art to the bottom? Its just blank!
Or better yet, just have the logo in the bottom half? It wouldn't cover much…. just the twirly thing! haha…

I'm buying the stock on this selloff. Someone is manipulating it today. Why do I say that? Because if you draw a trendline on 5 minute bars today, you can see that anytime it comes up to the descending trendline, people lean heavily on it to keep it headed down. However, if you look at the intraday RSI, someone is also accumulating on the selloffs, as RSI is divergent (the new price lows are making higher lows on RSI). I tend to think that with what I think is good news, that this is a one day selloff event to fake people out, and that once the sellers and manipulators are finished, buyers will step in.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
What time will they post the earnings report?
Sentiment: Buy
I'm not sure what the future holds, where
the earnings growth will come from, how multiples
will shift, and whether the tremendous fundamental
benefits of being a southeastern regional bank will
continue. I really don't think this (or any bank) is the
greatest growth opportunity available to investors.
I hold a little BB&T percentage wise......certainly
my worst performer this year by a long shot.
Sentiment: Hold
We have a company whose shares have taken a sharp dive after reporting stellar results. Most on here are scratching their heads trying to figure out what is going on. Could be the fiscal cliff ?... could be institutions playing games? Did the shorts squeeze? ... most likely the dive is due to factors external to the company.
It seems like a typical manipulation by the big dogs. The stock will catch up in a few days, which is what usually happens. Do not pull the trigger!
Why VVUS is trading over $25 when it is not approved yet? We have not seen any pills from VVUS. Why OREX share price is increasing? Obviously there are elements of trading schemes we (retail investors) are not familiar with, for example manipulation of stock price by the evil market makers to hold the price down before option expiration dates.Hedge Funds managers are holding down ARNA. Hold your shares because it create high demand.

Hey, I want to know where can I find the CSS code for the Navigation menu in the header. I want to change a bit the look of it.
this is how it looks now -click
the second "click" is how I want it to look
You should not modify theme files - as those changes will be lost when the theme is updated. Rather, use a browser tool like Firebug - find the CSS for that element - COPY that CSS to custom CSS (theme option or a plugin) - and change it there.
There's no way to help with actual CSS without seeing your actual site.
#access ul li { margin-right: 20px; }
Play with the value to get the desired result.
Thank you very much WPyogi & theZedt!

These scenes are naughty and noisy -- just the way we like 'em. Lisa's three-way cock-sucking through the bed posts is especially hot.

Very basic
In principle does what it says, but really too basic for a paid app. No wake on LAN (fairly critical for a media center), very simplistic "Now Playing" - often not even showing album art, artist browsing only by name and no Graphics, enabling single click to play albums crashes app when used, app can only run full screen, etc. Fundamentally a good concept but need much more polish to be a joy to use and nice to show off while playing music e.g. at parties.More

cool-sopp - with dreads by taintedsilenceWatch
©2005-2016 taintedsilence
Usopp all pimped out (and with dreadlocks)! Why? Cause I was promised a pie. And because he deserves it. Cause he's cool. No bg yet, I'll move this copy to scraps when I finish it.

| If you're in need of a new 'do but are short on time, switch up your part like Rose Byrne. We like how the swoop over her bangs makes a statement without channeling the extreme side parts of the '80s. If you normally part your hair to the side, section it in the other direction, or even in the middle to change up your look. If your strands are usually split in the center, a deep side part gives your hair a modern twist.

AbstractBuilding on prior success in detector electronics, we propose to design and fabricate a 256 channel readout ASIC for solid state gamma radiation array detectors having a power consumption of less 100 microW/pixel, an event detection throughput of more than 10,000 events/sec, and a dynamic range of 20-600KeV, while providing a spectral resolution of 1% or less in a footprint of less than 12 x 12 mm. This will allow the creation of high-speed 20 x 20 mm CZT detectors with 256 to 512 pixels (1 mm or less pitch). Starting with prior proven designs, we will introduce an innovative, patent-pending readout scheme that reduces digitization to only one signal per channel. We will also replace polling methods with sparse access and an innovative technique that can keep most of the pixels operating while reading out data. These innovations may increase the ASIC event detection rate by orders of magnitude while reducing system power and processing requirements. These innovations are essential for upgrading current gamma detection technology for future missions. There exists no ASICs today that can come close to achieving this performance.

I have a spring webapp with annotation driven configuration.
All Controllers, Repositories are autowired.
When integrating Spring Security I defined a separate security-app.xml. I created a Service called LoginUserService which implements UserDetailsService. Now the method loadUserByUsername() method of this class gets invoked for authentication.
This class has an autowired dependency for UserRepository. Now this autowired dependency turns out to be null. To fix this I enable annotation driven configuration and add the package name for the repository class in component scan configuration.
This solution is also discussed here spring security with custom user details
But now the problem is that the UserRepository has an EntityManager field with @PersistenceContext annotation. For the spring security configuration it is able to locate the UserRepository but not able to locate the entity manager. Should I create a new EntityManagerFactory here? I guess that will create two persistence units in my application?
How can I inject an autowired dependency to UserRepository created with the original servlet xml?
This is briefly discussed here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/7078395/161628
But I guess a canonical detailed answer will be more useful to me.
How about using ApplicationContext to get the UserRepository at runtime?
if (userRepository == null) {
userRepository = ApplicationContextProvider.getApplicatonContext().getBean(UserRepository.class);

AbstractIn practically all air-vehicle MDO studies to date involving configuration shape optimization, dynamic Aeroservoelastic constraints had to be left out. Flutter, gust stresses, vibration, and ride comfort cannot still be accounted for in MDO involving configuration shape variations. Development of the missing MDO building block is proposed here: A design-oriented ZEUS-DO CFD-based unsteady aerodynamic capability with 3D configuration shape sensitivities, integration with commercial structural finite element codes and with aeroelastic / aeroservoelastic stability / response behavior analysis and sensitivity analysis in the time and frequency domains for non-linear and linearized flows. Phase I will focus on shape parametrization and mesh, pressure, and generalized force sensitivities with respect to shape design variables of multi-lifting-surface configurations. Accuracy and numerical efficiency of the new capability will be demonstrated. In Phase II the ZEUS-DO development effort will proceed to complex 3D configurations including fuselages, nacelles, and external stores. Integration with structural Finite Element design-oriented codes and aeroelastic stability / response solvers, together with validation, assessment of numerical efficiency, and commercialization will be pursued. The new ZEUS-DO capability will provide rapid CFD-based unsteady aerodynamic modeling, analysis, sensitivity analysis, and approximation for re-analysis and for optimization with industry standard accuracy and complexity of configurations modeled.

Membr Expanding to U.S., Engaging Landmark Media Americas
Membr, the innovative, cloud-based connective fitness platform, is making its debut in the United States this summer. To assist with the expansion following widespread success in Europe, Membr has engaged Landmark Media Americas to provide marketing, public relations and communications services.
Membr, founded in the United Kingdom, allows fitness professionals and health enthusiasts to interact on a real-time basis via state-of-the-art cloud technology to monitor their progress in the quickly growing mobile fitness realm. Data gathered from customer sites has proven that the Membr solution decreases attrition rates and increases customer engagement over a wide range of fitness and health facilities. The complete web-based solution is available to all who use public or private health and fitness facilities as well as individuals who exercise at home.
"We're a different and progressive company within the club, fitness and health software area," said Steve Berger, Managing Director (USA) of Membr. "We're enabling individuals and clubs to move away from tracking performance on paper to a cloud-based system in organizing and making their physical fitness routines more effective. We offer a best-of-breed fitness and health application that is fully integrated and takes the lead in the global movement to cloud-based technological development for fitness programs. We look forward to introducing our diverse program in the United States through Landmark Media America's well-connected and experienced network."
Membr takes into account that personal training services haven't been utilized enough by health club members due to previous expense and personal concerns. The rise of value-based, franchise gyms and the introduction of wearable technology into the gym atmosphere are two additional areas addressed by Membr's suite of software.
Membr's initial U.S.-based offices are in Delray Beach, Fla., servicing the Southeastern United States, and New York City, servicing Metropolitan New York and New England. Development is also underway in South Africa and the Middle East, with Canada and Brazil expansion on the horizon.
"We are excited to partner with Membr in providing support on this exciting and valuable, growing technology in the fitness world," said Bruce Lucker, Managing Partner of Landmark Media Americas. "Membr has the power and know-how to serve a club member base with its fully integrated products and to engage and attract new users who will benefit from an easier way to document their exercise regimen."
About Membr
Membr.com's innovative fitness platform connects the fitness industry with its members, motivating, educating and inspiring a healthier lifestyle. The increased engagement includes features such as online exercise and meal plans and health statistics tracking to assist fitness professionals as they provide members with the support they deserve. Online bookings and payments make it easier for members to access services, whether at home or when traveling. It ensures that fitness professionals stay connected with members while focusing on a profitable operation inside the gym. Jack Malin founded Member after noticing in his own personal training business and value-based gym that there was a significant need for a software solution to properly address accelerating fitness needs.

ClubstoHire.com Expands to Orlando, Las Vegas, Phoenix/Scottsdale
ClubstoHire.com, the top global golf club rental operator, has extended its service to three of the most popular golf destinations in the United States. The prime American locations include Orlando, Florida; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona just in time for fall travel. To assist with the expansion, ClubstoHire.com has engaged Landmark Media Americas to provide marketing, public relations and communications services.
Sets of the latest TaylorMade and Callaway golf clubs are available to golfers flying into these locations for approximately $100 per week, including handling fees. After being pre-selected online at ClubstoHire.com, the clubs are delivered by a representative to the airport or the customer's hotel/resort upon arrival and picked up before departure.
The first American location to open in July was Orlando, which is the most-visited American destination (62 million visitors in 2014) and attracts golfers from the United States, United Kingdom and numerous European gateways due to easy flight connections and access to nearly 200 courses in central Florida. Among the top golf courses are Bay Hill Club and Lodge, site of the Arnold Palmer Invitational on the PGA Tour; Isleworth; Lake Nona; Grand Cypress; Disney; Orange County National and ChampionsGate.
"From the first phone call I made to the prompt delivery/collection to our Orlando villa, it was a brilliant service," said Hugh Doyle, one of the first customers in Orlando. "I would recommend this service highly when visiting Florida when you have way too many shopping-filled suitcases to carry to the airport to worry about carting clubs with you."
The move into the world's biggest golf market follows the successful opening of similar operations in Africa (Cape Town and Marrakesh) and Asia (Bangkok and Pattaya, Thailand) over the past year, as increasing numbers of golfers travel to long-haul destinations to play in warmer conditions. This year, the Dublin, Ireland-based company, founded in 2010, will supply more than 75,000 sets of golf clubs from 24 locations around the world. Since its inception, ClubstoHire.com has supplied more than 175,000 sets of clubs and has a database of approximately 48,000 clients worldwide who have received millions of dollars in savings.
"Seven million people fly into Orlando from Europe each year and a growing number are golfers," said Clubs to Hire CEO Tony Judge. "There are also 25 million active golfers in the United States - five times the number in Europe - so we're confident that our club rental offer will be well received in all three new locations.
"Our existing customers are looking for the service in the United States as they're very familiar with our offering and the idea of using it in the United States appeals to them. Initial reaction from American golfers is also very encouraging and we see great potential in such a large golf market."
There are more than 200 golf courses in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, including the famous championship venues at TPC Scottsdale and The Boulders. Las Vegasalso provides many golf facilities, such as Shadow Creek, Desert Pines and Canyon Gate.
"Not only does the service offered by ClubstoHire.com save on potential airline excess luggage costs and the hassle of moving heavy golf travel bags to and from airport terminals, but it also provides golfers with the rare opportunity to try the very latest clubs from the leading manufacturers," Judge said.
ClubstoHire.com has received numerous accolades in Europe for its work. Last year, the inaugural "HSBC Golf Business Community Award for Innovation" award, voted on by golf industry professionals, was presented to Judge at a special ceremony in Abu Dhabi. On Sept. 1, ClubstoHire.com was touted as one of the top companies in Ireland as a part of the "National Champions" portion of the prestigious European Business Awards, with the European winners to be determined in early 2016 from a total of 678 companies in 33 countries across Europe in many different business fields.
About Clubs to Hire
ClubstoHire.com is an online enterprise developed to help traveling golfers avoid the increasing cost and hassle of transporting their golf clubs on domestic and international flights as airline operators began to charge additional luggage fees for golf travel bags. Golfers book their set at www.clubstohire.com and receive them when they arrive at the destination. Clubs to Hire offers its service at 24 worldwide locations, has supplied more than 175,000 sets since inception and anticipates working with approximately 75,000 golfers in 2015. The company was launched in July 2010 by directors Tony Judge and Gerry McKernan in Dublin, Ireland. Please see www.clubstohire.com for more information.

CSFA Partners With Signature Group for Management, Marketing, Sponsorship
The Club Spa and Fitness Association (CSFA) has partnered with Signature Group to provide management, marketing and sponsorship development services for the non-profit organization which represents private clubs and Spa, Fitness and Wellness Professionals.
Private clubs have recently been investing in a larger fitness and spa presence because of a membership demand among all demographics and the focus of healthy living in today's society. Incorporating wellness facilities and programs into clubs' primary offerings alongside golf, tennis, swimming and dining is becoming more commonplace.
"We are delighted to work with Signature Group in designing our team, management and marketing services as we continue to show tremendous growth," said Barb Svenson, President of the CSFA and the Fitness Director at Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club in Palm City, Fla. "Developing a plan to move forward quickly is important to our continued success as our professionals are even more in demand with Americans looking to become more physically fit. Given Signature Group's wide-ranging experience in the private club sector, we are excited to take this step forward."
The CSFA recently released its "Private Club Spa and Fitness Management Resource Manual" written by Stephen Tharrett, which is an excellent tool to aid in the development and operation of a wellness facility in the club environment. A certification course for fitness professionals, "Business Management for the Private Club Spa & Fitness Director", will be available online in August. The certification course for private club fitness and spa professionals is aimed at those in supervisory positions, similar to the process that managers undertake via the Club Managers Association of America. The course will be issued in time for the National Conference, scheduled for Aug. 2-5 at the Omni Orlando (Fla.) Hotel.
"Within the private club world, the fastest growing part of expansion is building fitness facilities," said Bruce Lucker, CEO of Signature Group. "With private clubs exploring avenues to retain and expand their membership, it's only natural that the Club, Spa and Fitness Association would be a natural organization to help coordinate the entire process."
Signature Group will also provide member communications, Web site and social media input and coordinate Board meeting and committee activities for the organization.

Hello dear WordPress friends, I need your help to brainstorm a solution for my current project.
The site is a blog, with a section for product reviews and a user forum. The ideal setup would have the blog and reviews section completely separate with a forum in the mix, but all sharing the same login.
So far I've though of having two separate WP installs (one for the blog and one for the reviews) since both sections will have a slightly different appearance and function.
It's not entirely necessarily to have users login to the blog/review sections, I guess. So I could still have them running independently and just have users login to post on the forums.
The forums I've narrowed down to are Simple:Press or PHPbb. The advantages to Simple:Press are that users can have a shared login to the blog side of the side - where I wouldn't want to even try the PHPbb bridge. I just don't know how stable/powerful Simple:Press is. It doesn't seem to be used much, not even discussed much.
Please help me figure this out. Is it really necessary for users to login to the blog/reviews? I would really like to use the Facebook Connect App but it doesn't look stable enough yet. Any forum solutons? If I don't have users login to the blog would it be ok to just use PHPbb?

O.C. unemployment falls to 8.5% in October
Orange County employers boosted hiring in October bringing on 14,300 new workers — the best month this year, the Employment Development Department reported today.
The unemployment rate edged down to 8.5% in October from 8.6% in September, tying the May low for 2011.
Statewide employers added 25,700 jobs and the unemployment rate declined to 11.7% in October from 11.9% in September. (The state number is adjusted for seasonal variations so it doesn't mean Orange County created more than half of the jobs in the state.)
U.S. unemployment edged down to 9% in October from 9.1% in September and the country gained 80,000 new workers.
Esmael Adibi, a Chapman University economist, was encouraged because the hiring was broad-based.
"When you look at all the sectors on a year-over-year basis, pretty much all are up except for financial activities and information," he said. "And even in those two sectors, there's quite a bit of moderation."
He said Orange County still has a long way to go to get back to the peak employment in December 2006.
"We need to hire 15,800 people a month on an annualized basis just to stay at par," Adibi said.
Employers would have to hire even more to put a dent in the unemployment rate which, at 8.5%, is still historically high, he said.
Jodi Chavez, the senior vice president of Ajilon Professional Staffing who oversees California, confirmed the breadth of hiring in industries.
She said Orange County is seeing strength in holiday hiring, commercial real estate and "anything that has to do with consumer goods."
Perhaps even more encouraging, Chavez said her clients are bringing on more direct hires rather than temporary workers.
"That shows confidence in our growth, confidence in the market coming back," she said.
One of the hot sectors that's hiring is in solar energy, where falling costs and tax credits have led to a boom in business.
Galkos Construction in Huntington Beach has hired about 30 people this year, mostly for its solar installation business, said William Chen, vice president of operations and administration.
"We're very optimistic and expect to continue to have that progressive, careful growth," he said.
Galkos has been hiring across-the-board including administrative jobs, field workers electricians, warehouse help and sales people.
"And the caliber of people out there is much greater," said Chen, who is looking for sales and in-house marketing people now.
But times are still tough for the 135,100 workers in Orange County that are officially counted as unemployed.
Michael Fleming, chief executive of Parlour Enterprises, owner of the Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour chain, said he was surprised at the number of applicants this week during the company's hiring event for its new Brea restaurant.
He said they got close to 2,000 applications for the 200 jobs available. Two years ago, when they opened their first restaurant in Mission Viejo during the height of the recession, they got about 1,000 applications.
Fleming said he talked to applicants who were in line and many of them said they were out of work.
"Probably about 30% of the people said they had been laid off from some job — a retail job, an office job, real estate," said Fleming. "One man was in real estate and said he needs the extra income."
He said the number of 16-, 17- and 18-year-olds applying also was much bigger.
"We got dozens and dozens of applications," he said.
When he thought about it, however, the number of young applicants wasn't that much of a surprise. Fleming said it took his 17-year-old son almost eight months this year to find a job before landing a position at an Active clothing store.
The unemployment rate in California for teens 16 to 19 has been running between 33% and 34% this year, according to the EDD.
Orange County's 8.5% unemployment rate was fifth best in the state. Marin County has the lowest rate at 7.2%. Here's how other Southern California counties fare:
- Los Angeles: 11.9%
- Riverside 13.7%
- San Bernardino: 12.8%
- San Diego: 9.7%
- Ventura: 9.8%

Who among boxing's young guns will step it up in '05? Last year it was Jeff
Lacy and Juan Diaz (considered to be top contenders by many, but mere
prospects in other circles) who made the quantum leap from undefeated and
untested young pros to world champions.
The following is a list of young fighters who have been reasonably tested and seem ready to take their
promising careers to the next level.
These fighters are not veterans who have been to the big dance before but
fell short of grabbing the brass ring (like Danny Green, Rodney Jones,
Manuel Gomez, Junior Witter, Levander Johnson, and Jorge Lacierva), nor are
they former title-holders who may get back in position to win another major
world belt (such as Fernando Montiel or Diego Morales).
This list does not include top contenders who have already locked in world
title bouts this year or have mandatory challenges ahead of them (such as
O'Neil Bell, Rico Hoye, Sam Soliman, Kofi Jantuah and Nate Campbell).
These are advanced prospects - some are considered top 10 contenders, others
are not - whose management and promotional companies believe are ready to go
for major world titles (WBO, IBF, WBC and WBA) this year and who appear to
have enough natural talent, skill and ring experience to win one of those
They're Ready To Rumble
Jermain Taylor, 22-0 (16 KOs) -- No other advanced prospect/contender in boxing
has as many fans and media who are split on whether or not he is "the Truth"
as the 2000 Olympic bronze medalist who makes his home in the middleweight
Those who are pro-Taylor point to his youth and considerable physical tools
(natural strength backed up with a ram-rod jab). Detractors point out that
the 26-year-old Arkansas native has numerous technical flaws (including a
nasty habit of dropping his left before letting go with his right hand, and
pulling back with the right).
Recent victories over aging former title-holders Raul Marquez and William
Joppy were impressive but exposed very little in terms of Taylor's
championship potential. The truth is, we won't know what the young man can
really do until he takes on a true middleweight contender and the undisputed
ruler of the middleweight division, Bernard Hopkins, and that's just what
Taylor's promotional company, DiBella Entertainment, intends to do, starting
with a Feb. 19 appearance on HBO (the co-featured bout to Hopkins'
title defense against Howard Eastman).
"[Feb. 19] is down to either Troy Rowland or Daniel Edouard," Lou DiBella
told MaxBoxing. "Both guys are young, ranked middleweight contenders.
Personally, I like the Edouard fight. That would be spectacular for as long
as it lasts."
Thomas Gerbasi, MaxBoxing co-editor and columnist, also likes the
Taylor-Edouard fight and sees it as the perfect gut-check for Taylor before
he takes on Hopkins.
"You know Edouard is going to come to fight," said Gerbasi. "Edouard will
probably get knocked out eventually -- he was buzzed a few times in that war
with Willie Gibbs -- but he will test Jermain's chin and his heart."
Gerbasi thinks Taylor will pass both tests, which is why he gives the young
middleweight a shot at dethroning the long-reigning champion.
"[Taylor] does have a lot of flaws, but he also has a lot of things that cover
up those flaws," Gerbasi said. "He's a got a great jab, he puts his punches
together well, and I think he's got a chin, too. He's also got a mean
streak. You saw it a little bit with the [Alex] Bunema fight. Bunema pissed
him off and he took the fight to him and took him out.
"If Hopkins pulls his usual mind-games crap on Taylor, Taylor might come out
fast and try to bomb him out early. Now that might work against Taylor, but
you got to take the training wheels off sometime, and I think he'll do his
best against an older fighter if he goes all out. The thing about Hopkins is
that he's been fighting at his own pace lately. De La Hoya was in that
fight, during the first half, because Hopkins was just taking his time.
William Joppy was in there for the first half of his fight with Hopkins,
too. He didn't do enough to win any rounds, but Hopkins didn't do much,
"If you let Hopkins get into his rhythm, yeah Hopkins will take you apart,
but if you take it to him, hey, no one likes to be uncomfortable. And
Hopkins has been able to fight his way for so many years, what happens if
this kid comes out and cracks him hard in the first round and sets a fast
pace for the entire fight. Then what?"
"I don't think Hopkins hits hard enough at this stage of his career to keep
Taylor off him. One of the good things about Taylor is that he listens to
his corner, and when Pat Burns says 'turn it up' he goes out and does it the
very next round. Taylor's a hard worker. Once he gets rolling, it's hard to
stop him."
DiBella plans to keep his star fighter rolling right into either a title
fight or big match by the end of the year. Provided Taylor is successful on
Feb. 19, the plan is to have him fight again by early summer and then go for
the gold in the fall.
"We want Felix Sturm next for Jermain," DiBella said. "That's an HBO main
event that I think lets the fans know who the best young middleweight is. If
Jermain beats Sturm, and I think he will, we'll go for [Felix] Trinidad or
Hopkins before the end of the year."
Kermit Cintron, 24-0 (22) -- The hardest puncher in the welterweight division
picked up the WBO "interim" title last year with an eighth-round TKO of
veteran brawler Teddy Reid, but to make it official the 25-year-old native
of Puerto Rico has to beat the WBO's hard-nosed champ, Antonio Margarito.
The two will share an ESPN-televised card next month and then they are
scheduled to clash sometime in April, according to Carl Moretti, VP of
Cintron's promotional company, Main Events.
Although Margarito has more experience and is one of the toughest and more
aggressive volume punchers in the sport, the matchup will probably be viewed as
an even-money fight by the majority of the boxing industry. Why? Two
reasons: Margarito throws a lot of punches, but he also EATS a lot of
punches, which gives a true puncher like Cintron the opportunity to land
that perfect KO shot. And although both fighters weigh in at 147 pounds,
Cintron, who carries the frame of a middleweight, is the naturally bigger
Some fans believe that Margartio was robbed in his last fight, a technical
split-decision loss to Daniel Santos in Puerto Rico this past September, but
they can't deny that the Tijuana native was not only dwarfed by Santos (the
fight took place at 154 pounds) but buzzed on more than one occasion during
the surprisingly entertaining scrap.
Cintron has the youth (he's only one year younger than Margarito, who has 11
more bouts and began fighting in his teens, but his body is fresher having
entered the game at an advanced age), size and punching power to lift the
WBO crown from the Mexican.
Almazbek Raimkulov (AKA Kid Diamond), 19-0 (11) -- Top Rank, Raimkulov's
promotional company, believes that it has the goods with the former
amateur standout from Kyrgyzstan, and Top Rank says it is ready to put him in
with any of the 135-pound title holders this year.
The 27-year-old 2000 Olympian turned a lot of heads in boxing with his last
fight, a five-round destruction of veteran Lamar Murphy on the undercard of
the Nov. 27 Morales-Barrera rubbermatch.
"After the way he took apart Lamar Murphy, I wouldn't hold him back from
anyone in the division," Top Rank president Todd duBoef told MaxBoxing.
"Once we see that a guy can fight we let him go, just like we did with Floyd
Mayweather or Oscar De La Hoya."
Raimkulov does not have the kind of natural speed and reflexes De La Hoya
and Mayweather were gifted with, but he does appear to be made of sturdier
stuff than the boxing masters. He doesn't just beat his opponents; he
crushes them -- and he's looking better with each outing.
"He's looked more and more impressive as the competition has gotten harder,"
said duBoef.
From tricky southpaw Pascali Adorno to veteran trial horse Luis Lizarraga to
prospect Raymond Narth to heavy-handed journeyman Jose Luis Soto-Karass to
veteran contender Lamar Murphy, Raimkulov has either dominated on points or
obliterated his foes with his fists. His victory over Narth, who was blown
out in less than a round, was particularly impressive. The talented African
was 9-0 at the time they fought and is currently 12-1 (11).
"[Raimkulov] knocked Narth out cold and made a prospect look like a
journeyman," said Dan Rafael, boxing writer for USA Today, who has seen many
of Raimkulov's non-televised fights from press row and even has a few on
tape. "I've been hearing about him since he turned pro. He's an exciting
fighter. He's aggressive and he can punch. He kind of reminds me of Kostya
Tszyu. He's even got a little pony tail like Tszyu.
"He's smart too. I think he speaks five or six languages. His parents were
doctors. He didn't have to box, he chose to do it and he's good at it. I
know Murphy is not what he used to be, but he's still a tough veteran and
Raimkulov knocked him out. Murphy had never been destroyed like that.
Raimkulov lured him in by laying on the ropes. He waited for his opening and
then put Murphy flat down in the middle of the ring with one shot.
"Head to head, I think he's competitive with anyone in the division. He'll
beat most of the veteran contenders like Levander Johnson and Javier
Jauregui. I think he beats [WBA title holder] Juan Diaz right now. I think
he's an even fight with [IBF title holder] Julio Diaz, who might be able to
survive because he can move and box. I don't know if Raimkulov beats
everybody in the division, but I think he gives everyone a tough fight and
that includes veterans like Joel Casamayor and [WBC titlist/The Ring champ]
Jose Luis Castillo."
Kevin Iole, boxing writer for the Las Vegas Review-Journal and a MaxBoxing columnist, has also seen Raimkulov's recent fights from press row and
shares Rafael's enthusiasm for the rugged lightweight.
"Kid Diamond is strong, technically sound and he hits very hard," Iole said.
"I think he can be ready to win a world title by the end of '05. He beats at
least one of the Diazes, if not both, right now."
However, as high as Iole is on Raimkulov, he's also quick to point out some
of Kid Diamond's flaws.
"He gets hit too much, but that's because he's aggressive and he knows he's
strong enough to take the other guy out," he said. "His hands are not very
fast either, not at the elite level. And his footwork leaves something to be
desired. He's not a Fred Astaire in there. But he's good at what he does and
that's break guys down."
Top Rank is looking to give Raimkulov some much-needed national exposure
with a March 4 ShoBox-televised card that the lightweight will share with
promotional stablemate Kelly Pavlik, according to duBoef. The opponent for
the ShoBox bout will likely be a top-10 contender because the goal is to
move Raimkulov, who is currently ranked just outside of the top 10 of the
WBO and WBA, into the top 5 of the various sanctioning organizations by
"It's not easy to get opponents for him as it is," said duBoef, "once
everybody gets a look at him, we'll probably have to move him into a
mandatory challenger position in order to get him a title shot."
Ricardo Juarez, 22-0 (15) -- Unlike Raimkulov, the 2000 Olympic silver
medalist has already secured No. 1 contender status in two of the major
sanctioning bodies (WBC and IBF), but as far as many fight fans and insiders
are concerned, the verdict is still out if the compact 24-year-old
featherweight is ready for the likes of Injin Chi and Juan Manuel Marquez.
Sometimes Juarez looks like the next star of the 126-pound division; other
times he looks ordinary. Spectacular KOs of Antonio Diaz, David Murillo and
Guty Espadas Jr. sandwich lackluster decision wins over Hector Velasquez,
Joe Morales and Zahir Raheem.
One of Juarez's admirers and critics is Ray Alcorta, a California-based
matchmaker and promoter who also helps train fighters.
"When you look at Juarez as a fighter, he's got a lot going for him. He's
smart, he's strong, he can punch, and he's got a great amateur background,
but his one draw back is that he's not consistent and it's hard to read a
guy like that," said Alcorta. "Does he have the talent to win a world title
this year? Yes, I think so. He'll probably win one, but will he hold on to
it? Not the version that fought Raheem. That version of Juarez will lose his
title in his first defense and say 'Well, I guess I had a bad night.' "
Main Events is assuming Juarez's bad nights are over, but just to be on the
safe side, they will pursue the WBC title, held by the tough-as-nails but
one-dimensional Chi, this year and leave master technician and
counter-puncher Marquez alone for the time being.
"We'll bring Juarez back on March 4, against Ranchero Ramirez, in an ESPN
fight and then push for the mandatory WBC shot in June or July," Moretti
told MaxBoxing. "Oh, and by the way, the title fight will be held in the
U.S., not Korea."
Fighting in one's home country is definitely an advantage (just ask the
WBC's 115-pound titlist Katsushige Kawashima), but beating Chi, who proved
to be a real threat at 126 pounds with a bold stand vs. Erik Morales three
years ago and his recent title win over Michael Brodie, will not be easy.
Chi is used to fighting on other fighters' home turf (he did so vs. Morales
and Brodie), and he's as rough as he is tough, never one to shy away from
using his head and forearms as much as his fists.
The good news for Juarez is that he will not have to look for Chi, who is a
pure pressure fighter. Crafty stick-and jab movers like Hector Acero-Sanchez
and Raheem have given Juarez the most trouble. The Korean doesn't have much
of a jab and his sizable chin should be right there for the monster left
hook that abruptly ended Juarez's fights with Diaz, Murillo and Espadas.
Daniel Ponce-DeLeon, 22-0 (21) -- Like Taylor, Juarez and Raimkulov, DeLeon
is a 2000 Olympian (he represented Mexico) whose biggest strength is his
youth and, well, his strength. But the Chihuahua native is so ponderous and
flat-footed in the ring that he makes Raimkulov look like the Fred
Astaire-type boxer that Kevin Iole joked about.
Still, DeLeon is a young fighter on the verge of a title shot, and perhaps a
title win this year. Why? He's a real fighter, meaning he fights as often as
he can (seven times last year and it still wasn't enough for him), he
fights on short notice, and he fights when he's injured. This year DeLeon
fought more than a few veterans who had better technique and were certainly
more experienced than he was, but he always found a way to win. His method
is very simple: come forward and beat the other guy up until he can't
continue. So far only veteran title challenger Carlos Contrreras has been
able to go the distance with DeLeon and that may have been because the
junior featherweight brawler entered the bout with an injured left hand.
Other former title challengers like Jesus Perez, Ivan Alvarez, Emmanuel
Lucero and Julio Gamboa were not so lucky, as DeLeon literally pounded all
of them into submission.
DeLeon's promotional company, Golden Boy Promotions, is looking to match the
heavy-handed southpaw with yet another former title challenger, Jose Luis
Valbuena, in an eliminator for the IBF title held by Israel Vazquez.
"I think Ponce will demolish Valbuena," said Alcorta. "That fight doesn't
last more than four rounds. Valbuena's a tall, lanky fighter. His body is
wide open. What most people don't realize is that Ponce does most of his
damage to the body. When he knocks a guy out, it almost always starts with
the body."
While DeLeon may be too strong for the 35-year-old Valbuena, Vazquez, who
stopped the crafty Venezuelan in the 12th round to win the IBF belt last
year, is a young veteran with solid pro skills and a heavy punch of his own.
Last month, Vazquez demolished No. 1 contender Art Simonyan in five rounds
to retain his belt for the first time. But Alcorta, who watched the fight
live, was not impressed.
"Vazquez did what he had to do, but didn't look great," he said. "There was
a round, the second round, that Simonyan clearly won. All he did was throw
more punches. And there were some shots that Simonyan couldn't miss Vazquez
with, like the right hand."
The bottom line according to Alcorta is that DeLeon has the firepower to
get Vazquez's respect that Simonyan, who only had seven knockouts in 15 pro
fights, lacked. And he adds that Vazquez has a tailor-made style for DeLeon.
"Against Simonyan, Vazquez came straight forward the entire fight," said
Alcorta. "That's what he does in all of his fights. That's what cost him
against Oscar Larios. Ponce is most effective when someone comes forward on
him. He's not a boxer, but he likes to back up and catch guys while they
come in. Vazquez will come right to him."
Although DeLeon won't have to hunt Vazquez down, he'll have to pay the price
if he wants the IBF belt.
"One thing you have to factor in is that Ponce does get caught with a lot of
shots and Vazquez can punch," Alcorta said. "But Ponce will catch Vazquez at
the same time he gets hit, especially to the body. I don't think Vazquez can
take it to the body. Valbuena, who's old and doesn't have a lot of power,
hurt Vazquez to the body. Just look at Ponce's recent knockouts, they all
came from body shots or were started by body shots -- guys who went the
distance with world champions, like Larios, were either stopped in their
tracks or broken down with body shots.
"Another reason I think Ponce can win the title is because I believe he can
take a punch. He showed that in his fights with Cesar Figueroa and Julio
Gamboa. I'm not saying they are KO artists or anything, but they hit him
with flush shots and nothing happened."
Part II: The Next 10 -- Fischer and a few of his peers will take a look
at Samuel Peter, Sergei Liakhovich, Librado Andrade, Kelly Pavlik, Kingsley
Ikeke, Chris Smith, Steven Luevano, Jhonny Gonzalez, Jose Aguiniga, and

Yes, it's the spicy pizza your ordered, apparently.
Memory cards? Pokedex? are those edible?
I think I heard someone greeting me behind my back.
Silly ninjalder. Ah, now he's ignoring me.
About time you explained your evil ninja plot.
Uh-huh... so it's a scout 'n' slavery business.
Sweet muffins, have I no say in that?
Ooh, now that's something interesting! What do you have?
Screwdriver? Pliers? Maybe a few wrenches?
Lies all lies. You got assassinations to take on, right?
Yes, I'll be sure to give it a good spanning.

Who cares.
Let's visit our beloved little older brother, while we're at it...

Making my way through the route, I come across a disdainfully familiar face:
What are you doing here, blocking my way through the holeway?
No, you're in the way, moron.
I only see one weirdo here.

Whoo-hoo! I'm shaking it!
So, this is a cave? Hmm, wait, don't I hate caves for some reason...?
Wild reason appeared.
What's this guy doing here? I bet he's one of those weirdos.
Tough luck, weirdo. I shake it hard. Now go away and let me through.
CURSES! I shake it too hard.
... shake it some more, right?
I could wait, then.
So, what do we do now?
a) Wait for the weirdo and his machop to clear the way
b) Take the long way around
c) steal the machop and run

Connecticut Gov. Rowland Resigns Under Cloud of Scandal
Six months after admitting he lied about accepting free renovations to his cottage that were paid for by state contractors, Connecticut Gov. John Rowland announces he will resign effective July 1. Although Rowland's resignation will put an end to impeachment proceedings, the 47-year-old Republican, now in his third term, could still be indicted on federal corruption charges.

Wood Heaters Brisbane
We love wood heating because it's better for the environment than coal or gas, and it's also one of the most economical ways to heat your home. And these days, you don't even need an existing chimney to have a wood fireplace, as both our freestanding and inbuilt designs come with their own flue included.
All our wood heaters are compliance certified - which means they produce less than 4g of particulates for every kilogram of wood burnt.
So whatever type of home you live in, and whatever your budget, Mr Stoves has the perfect wood burning fire for you. To find out more about our range, call (07) 3375 1464 and speak to one of our knowledgeable team members.
