Comments about 'Former Arizona sheriff blasts ruling that allows gay marriage in Utah'

I read a post on a previous article regarding this particular case. The author's argument in support of this judge's ruling was that Utah's Constitution was amended in 2004 to exclude gay marriage, but that people don't have the same opinions towards gay rights now (inferring that most of Utah supports it now). My argument to that is, if it is indeed true, the proper course of action is to vote on amending our Constitution again, not have our Constitution and the will of the people trampled on by some activist judge.

The Deseret News MUST be desperate if they've resorted to covering this
guy...he single-handedly ignored the 1st, 5th and 14th Amendments, recommends we
espouse the Bible as law (legalizing slavery, marginalizing women, etc.) and
seems basically the opposite of anything Christian as evidenced by his extreme
hatred (a regular modern-day George Wallace).
It's the job of the Courts to support civil rights (not the legislature and most definitely not the majority vote of the people…if it was we'd still have desegregation in the South). We live in a Constitutional Republic where civil rights are NOT up for popular vote. This same protection applies to any minority in the U.S....including Mormons (of which I am an active one).

Apparently we as citizens can pick and choose what Amendments we decide to apply. Mr Mack seems to blatantly ignore the 5th and the 14th. Possibly why he is an ex- sheriff? Leaders of The South attempted to use the same argument to legalize slavery. Just seems like a lot of hate and very Un American. We are all talking about equal rights. Correct? How strong is your marriage to begin with if another marriage can weaken it so easily?

Grammy3 posted "I just believe that with marriage it is how God intended it
to be between a Man and a Woman."
The Bible itself highlights that marriage between one man and one woman is anything BUT the way God intended (see the entire 4000 years of Old Testament where the common practice was polygamy and concubinage...not to mention requiring women to marry their rapists…it was anything BUT monogamy...and more akin to slavery).
Your notion of Biblical marriage being one man and one woman is fantasy (even the polygamous history of Utah itself discredits your claim). If you happen to be Mormon then you know the church still believes in Polygamy in the afterlife and practices it in the sealings of subsequent spouses in our temples (the practice of polygamy on the Earth was all that was stopped by Wilford Woodruff's Manifesto in 1890). Joseph Smith engaged in both Polgamy and Polyandry which in no way would agree with the definition you hold so dearly as the definition "God intended".

This quote is from the brilliant Dr. Benjamin Franklin, referring to this
nation's government and our constitution. It applies to this whole
situation going on not only in Utah, but in our entire nation:
"We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings, that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel; we shall be divided by our little partial, local interests, our projects will be confounded and we ourselves shall become a reproach and a byword down to future ages. And, what is worse, mankind may hereafter, from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing government by human wisdom and leave it to chance, war, or conquest." (Benjamin Franklin)

Thank you 'Cats',
I do not hate the GLBT community, I just am not in favor of Gay marriage - my opinion I realize and I'm not trying to force it down anyone's throat. However, I do see concerns in the way that many laws are being not only enforced, but also installed and too many are coming from the Judiciary bench and from the Executive office. I keep hearing that the ACA is the 'law of the land' get used to it, and yet the President has no qualms about changing the law on a regular basis (only the legislature may change the law of the land).
Our constitution is a delicate thing. It was created with checks and balances and those need to be maintained and the proper balance ensured. We have a right to become concerned when we see any legislation from the bench or the White House, or if congress is over stepping their bounds. Perhaps we read too much in to it, but we need to be vigilant or we stand to lose a great deal.

Thinking about it some more I want to give a lot of credit to the Deseret News for publishing this article even though that event does not put same-sex marriage opposition (the stated opinion of this paper's editorial board) in a favorable light at all and even though it awkwardly contradicts with an editorial on the matter today. Selective journalism would've ignored it.

I think all the people that want to use legislative power to sustain their right
to have it their way need to consider a few seemingly forgotten historical
In Roman times, Christians were fed to lions and killed out of hand.
In US history we founded our country with slavery firmly entrenched and only men able to vote.
State and Federal governments sat by as the Mormons were killed and driven out of NY, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois until they were out of the US.
Governments role is to protect and serve its citizens, all of the citizens, no matter whether they are of the vocal minority or not.
Start living the golden rule and do unto others as you would have done unto you.
Live and let live is still a good way.

Our rights as US citizens not granted to us by "God" they are granted by the Constitution of the United States of America, which ironically fails to mention "God" or any other deity for that matter. We're not a theocracy, we fought a little war... the Revolutionary War, to make sure of that. The constitution doesn't existing to make sure your heterosexual marriage remains "Sacred" - that's your business. Heterosexual couples can be married by the church of Satan, nothing anyone can do about that, it doesn't invalidate your marriage. Neither does same sex marriage.

Hitler dehumanized gays, lesbians, jews, and others who were physically disabled during WWII. We know what happened there. Trying to change the gay people to be straight has not been successful, Gays are human, they cry, laugh, tell stories, just like you and I and God created them to be here on Earth. Apparently, there is no way to stop babies from being born gay, we all must accept this and not treat them as sub-humans or second-class citizens. The former sheriff seems to dehumanize them and wants to see them out of the picture, sadly, he does not have the power to turn gays in straight folks.

Isn't common sense alone enough to know that same sex marriage is wrong. Just objectively look at the human body and the conception process and if you believe in god, then it's common sense. Quit making this so hard!

If you are going to bring god into the issue then you are going to have to answer the.question of who created the issue if not god. So is he a imperfect god. Please explain.

The Bible is more important than the Constitution; one has been around much longer and will last much longer. Religion is more important than politics and university study (Peter was a fisherman and Paul a tent maker and both more bright than the scholars of their day) The Bible encourages the "un-enforceable". (we can't force people to have pure thoughts) The Bible says it is a good idea to marry and have children and be one with community. If we were always one with community (through art and dance and song and poetry and service and through commerce and invention and science), we would not need laws. Love and obedience is the law. The Law is not a piece of paper, it is a Person (perfect and pure).

Oh I only wish you were truly and sincerely seeking that answer. Just know in our perfect Heavenly Father's plan, we agreed to come to an imperfect world and accept the challenges and adversity that comes with it. This means our bodies will be susceptible to illness, addiction, and deformity. Our savior promised no matter how great our challenge, he would not forsake us and we were all in. In these troubling times, there is a great effort to legislate what is sin to non-sin.

Not sure what you are basing your "insights" on other then maybe the same old propaganda but as someone that has spent a significant amount of time in Massachusetts and other states that allow gay marriage I can assure that they are doing just fine. There is the very occasional person or group that want to ignore public accommodation laws but that is nothing new or unique to gay marriage.

@ Aunt Lucy
I second Spring Street's point...you forget that many many things are 'legal' and 'allowed' which are not necessarily agreed to by our church (and we aren't out fighting to bring back prohibition). Just because something is legal does not mean that our church has to condone it. Nor do others need to agree with your beliefs and be compelled to follow them (it works both ways).
What we're talking about here is supporting someone's right to choose and not enforcing the majority's opinion on the minority. If gay marriage was in the majority wouldn't you want the freedom to have a heterosexual marriage? If polygamy was in the majority wouldn't you want the freedom to have a monogamous marriage?

Mr. Mack says the US Constitution gives us innate rights. I agree, they are called life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. He further insinuates that the US Constitution does not provide gays and lesbians the right to marry. But it also does not say anything about cell phones or motor vehicles. Then how can the SCOTUS seemingly answer constitutional questions on these issues. This is why have courts staff with our most seasons jurists. I hope one day people like this will stop hurting other tax paying citizens.

Given a polynomial $y=C_0+C_1 x+C_2 x^2+C_3 x^3 + \ldots$ of some order $N$, I can easily calculate the polynomial of reduced order $M$ by taking only the first $M+1$ terms. This is equivalent to doing a Taylor series expansion with $M<=N$ around $x=0$.
But what if I want to take the Taylor series expansion around a different point $x_c$. In the end, I want the polynomial coefficients of $y_2=K_0+K_1 x + K_2 x^2 + K_3 x^3 + \ldots$ which represents the Taylor's expansion of $y$ around point $x_c$ such that $y(x_c)=y_2(x_c)$ including the first $M$ derivatives.
So given the coefficients $C_i$ with $i=0 \ldots N$, and a location $x_c$ I want to calculate the coefficients $K_j$ with $j=0 \ldots M$.
Given $y=C_0+C_1 x+C_2 x^2$ ( $N=2$ ) then the tangent line ($M=1$) through $x_c$ is
$$ y_2 = (C_0-C_2 x_c^2) + (C_1+2 C_2 x_c) x $$
or $K_0 = C_0-C_2 x_c^2$, and $K_1 =C_1+2 C_2 x_c$
There must be a way to construct a ($M+1$ by $N+1$ ) matrix that transforms the coefficients $C_i$ into $K_j$. For the above example this matrix is
$$ \begin{bmatrix}K_{0}\\ K_{1}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & -x_{c}^{2}\\ 0 & 1 & 2\, x_{c}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}C_{0}\\ C_{1}\\ C_{2}\end{bmatrix} $$
Example #2
The reduction of a $5$-th order polynomial to a $3$-rd order around $x_c$ is
$$ \begin{bmatrix}K_{0}\\ K_{1}\\ K_{2}\\ K_{3}\end{bmatrix}=\left[\begin{array}{cccc|cc} 1 & & & & -x_{c}^{4} & -4\, x_{c}^{5}\\ & 1 & & & 4\, x_{c}^{3} & 15\, x_{c}^{4}\\ & & 1 & & -6\, x_{c}^{2} & -20\, x_{c}^{3}\\ & & & 1 & 4\, x_{c} & 10\, x_{c}^{2}\end{array}\right]\begin{bmatrix}C_{0}\\ C_{1}\\ C_{2}\\ C_{3}\\ C_{4}\\ C_{5}\end{bmatrix} $$
which is a block matrix, and not an upper diagonal one as some of the answers have indicated.

4.5 stars 9 totalReview Mark Arend
Posted by Lindsay
There are not enough words to describe how amazing Mark is. My case was complex, challenging, very difficult at times, and very emotional for me. Mark knew what to do in every instance, gave me invaluable advice, and was incredibly kind and compassionate. When we had to go to court he presented my case exceptionally well and he is a great negotiator. He was my advocate and made me feel reassured as I knew I was in excellent hands. He even went above and beyond when I had a death in the family during this process, and had the whole law firm sign a sympathy card for me. I couldn't have made a better choice when I chose Mark as my attorney.
Posted by Amber
Mark Arend, from the initial meeting presented himself as someone who knows what he's doing and has confidence in his ability to practice family law. He was BRILLIANT and sharp as a tack! Child support matters are a very stressful thing to go through and things can get pretty hairy if you don't obtain the right attorney. Mark was ALWAYS on time, he knew family law so well and put me at ease every step of the way. There weren't any magic tricks on Marks end that got us the favorable outcome, it was just his knowledge of the law and all of the calculations that go along with it. I'm very happy to have been able to have him take care of the matter efficiently and ethically. He's got a great sense of humor too! I'd recommend Mark because he's most definitely a first class lawyer. Elaine Smith was also just as amazing. She's very adept in explaining the complex in laymen's terms. She was always responsive and on top of her game. She's kind and understands how the client is feeling and will do her best to make sure everything goes smoothly. I could never thank them enough.
Posted by Dirk
Found out through other parties that Mark had a very strong reputation as a divorce attorney and sought his counsel. A large majority of my divorce case was handled by his paralegal, Eileen Smith, but the several times that I had the opportunity to chat with Mark, either face-to-face or over the phone, he was a pleasant person to talk with and typically filled in the remainder of the picture started by Eileen. All-in-all a positive overall experience during a delicate time in my life.
Posted by April
Mark was my attorney in likely the worst time of my life. He took numerous calls from me with new situations frequently. Looking back I wish I would have handled some of my situation different (custody and parenting plan further into the future) but hindsight is always 20/20. The most important outcome; I am safe and I got out of the state with my son! At a time where my and my sons life seemed to be literally in Marks hands, he was honest, caring and available for me. If I still lived in the state, I would be happy to use him again (but hope I never face that kind of stuff ever again in my life)!
Posted by Sue
Could not have had a better lawyer to represent our case. He was very informative, very professional, his whole staff was very efficient and personal. Mark is very caring and showed us that he truly cared about our whole family. He is the most honest lawyer I have ever met and if we ever had to use a lawyer again we know right where to go.
Posted by Jason
Terrible service! Wasted thousands of dollars going back and forth with him during my divorce. When it came time for him to speak in court he seized up while I was raped by the judge, and joked with her afterwards like they were buddies. Then failed to tell me I had 10 days to file an appeal. Then had the balls to write me a bogus letter saying he quits for family reasons, after I fired him.
Posted by Teresa Garrido Roberts
He did some legal research for me on a land dispute in Guam. He was timely and accurate and presented the information he found to me in a way I could actually understand! His rates were fair and he earned every penny.
Posted by a Business client
Being faced with legal situations can be pretty intimidating and stressful... Mark not only eloquently and effectively prepared my documents, but also patiently educated me on the best courses of action to take. He is incredibly personable, and on top of being my legal consult, I consider him a sincere friend. Thank you so much.
Posted by a client
It is with pleasure that I recommend Mark Arend. He Has Given legal guidance to resolve some unexpected stressful situations. Mark educated me on my options and helped me feel empowered. The empowerment relieved stress, which I did not expect an attorney to provide. He reminds me of a Dr. that treats the whole patient not just the symptom. It's not about the ailment; it's about how you are doing holistically. That is a rare characteristic matched with great integrity. I am fortunate to have Mark as my attorney and recommend him highly to anyone who is seeking no holds bar legal counsel or representation.

Review quote
'I received your book and must say that it is absolutely beautiful! You have created an amazing review of the Messier objects. Congratulations on a breathtaking publication!' Philip S. Harrington, author of Star Ware and Touring the Universe through Binoculars 'Ronald Stoyan's Atlas of the Messier Objects should be required reading for amateur astronomers. Its impressive content, textually and visually, makes it a definitive work on the catalog and its objects. Extensive discussions of the catalog's formulation, history, and meaning precede a stunning gallery of all the objects along with nearly exhaustive historical, astrophysical, and observational discussions for each object. Numerous high-quality photographs and eyepiece drawings accompany the text. This book should be on the shelf of every observer, and deserves wide distribution in the United States market.' David Eicher, Editor-in-Chief, Astronomy 'Atlas of the Messier Objects is more comprehensive, detailed, and beautiful than any other book showcasing the objects cataloged by Charles Messier. The art of observing is practiced as much with the mind as with the eye, and this book gathers into one volume diverse aspects that both enrich the experience and serve as a valuable reference. No other book does such a masterful job of gathering all that is fascinating about the Messier objects and weaving it into a book that is both so enlightening and handsome.' Susan French, author of Celestial Sampler: 60 Small-scope Tours for Starlit Nights 'Everything a book should be. Beautifully published on excellent paper and very comprehensive. Certainly the most comprehensive book on the Messier objects that has been written to date.' Stewart Moore, Director, Deep Sky section, British Astronomical Association 'Not another book about Messier's catalog' you might think. This would be completely wrong as you have never seen one like this. Simply put, this is EXTREMELY complete! Why have you never seen a book like this? Well, imagine the result merging books such as The Messier Album from Mallas & Kreimer, The Messier Objects by O'Meara, Messier's Nebulae and Star Clusters by Glyn Jones. 'A glorious chaotic mess' would you argue? Certainly not. The authors have put all this together in good shape, with a very clear presentation in order to produce an innovative book, easy to read or just to browse.' Yann Pothier, Editor of French Deep Sky Observer's magazine Ciel Extreme 'There are several good books that cover Charles Messier's famous catalogue of Deep Sky objects, but none are as beautiful or comprehensive as this spectacular volume ...There is a very fine biography of the 'ferret of comets' himself which not only brings the man to life, but also places him in context of the turbulent times in which he lived ... Ronald Stoyan and his colleagues are to be congratulated for putting together a most beautiful and helpful volume on Messier and his catalogue, one that all Deep Sky enthusiasts will wish to own, and which is unlikely to be surpassed for many years.' Nick Hewitt, Journal of the British Astronomical Association '... amazingly comprehensive. ... The full-plate photographs are truly magnificent. ... also excellent drawings ... this book is worth every penny - and more. There have been many Messier books, but in my view this is the best I have ever seen.' Sky at Night Magazine 'It would probably be worth buying the book just for the pictures alone but there is so much great stuff packed in that this masterful volume is a must for any astronomer.' Astronomy Now 'This is a wonderfully illustrated and extremely comprehensive review of the 110 star clusters, nebulae and galaxies included in the Messier catalogue. ... The authors present a breathtaking overview and graphic representation of the deep sky features that make up our Galaxy with spectacular images on a large scale. ... This is really a stunning gallery of the Messier objects and [a] very valuable reference work. There [has] clearly [been] a huge amount of thought and research gone into the creation of this book and I would highly recommend it.' Dr Billy O'Keefe, Member of Astronomy Ireland 'The images illustrating the objects are some of the best I have seen. This book could easily have become a collection of 'eye candy' if the accompanying text had not been so well written and organized. The most obvious illustrations are the astrophotos that dominate each entry. A few of these are from the Hubble Space Telescope or professional observatories, but the overwhelming majority have been taken by amateur astronomers, making the book a showcase for the work of astro imagers. Some of these images are also reproduced in an inverted (black and white) format to better illustrate certain structures and features of their subjects. Double and variable stars in clusters, as well as other objects likely to be found in the field of view, are labeled for easy location by observers. Where these are numerous, a table lists them for easy reference. In addition to these stunningly beautiful illustrations are sketches made by the principle author at the eyepiece of a 14" reflector, and these illustrations give the reader a clear idea of the differences between images and the eyepiece experience. Illustration of the book goes a step farther by reproducing many sketches made during historic observations by the likes of Lord Rosse and John Herschel. ... It's a visual treat into the bargain, adding a dimension of sheer enjoyment usually lacking in such books. Atlas of the Messier Objects has quickly become an important reference that effectively supplements the existing material in my Messier library. It is, indeed, worthy of a place on the over-burdened bookshelf.' Cloudy Nights Telescope Reviewsshow more

Candidates Focus On Economy, Wall Street Bailout
Both presidential candidates had something to say about the economic crisis and the proposed bailout on Saturday, NPR's Debbie Elliott reports.
In a written statement Sen. John McCain pointed to his efforts to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as evidence he had tried to ward off the country's financial troubles.
"Two years ago, I called for reform of this corruption at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Congress did nothing. The Administration did nothing. Senator Obama did nothing, and actually profited from this system of abuse and scandal," McCain said.
But Sen. Barack Obama countered that argument, likening his opponent's financial markets plan to his healthcare plan.
"He wants to run health care like they've been running Wall Street. Well, Senator, I know some folks on Main Street who aren't going to think that's a good idea," Obama said.

Allison Hodge draws from a variety of styles and techniques and her sessions provide insight on how the practice of yoga can work for you. A session may include therapeutics, strength building, yin, core work, props, restorative, hands on assist and breath awareness – all infused into an alignment based vinyasa or hatha based class. Whether you are looking to learn more about yoga, develop a home practice or heal ailments, you will leave feeling empowered, awakened and balanced.
Erin Gillmore was a New York City fashion student in 2006 when she discovered yoga. After getting hooked on Yoga to the People's Vinyasa flow style, she relocated to San Francisco in 2011 and completed their 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) training. Erin has continued to evolve her practice by studying Bhakti flow with Rusty Wells, and she will soon have 500 hours of training under her belt. This past year she has become addicted to arm balances and inversions which she works into most classes. As she puts it, she "found a lifeline out of crazy" through yoga, and wants nothing more than the opportunity to extend that lifeline to others.
Bridget Kavanaugh began a yoga practice in 2005 and found such joy, passion and growth in the connection, she wanted to share that with others. She has now been teaching for over 8 years and continues to be a student of the endless yoga journey. Her classes are first and foremost pranayama (breath) focused. From there, Bridget offers a more vigorous class which draws upon flow, strength and alignment. Her hope and intention is for students to leave the mat having awareness of at least one new life learning – physical, emotional or spiritual.
Marie Murphy strives to give students the opportunity to recognize the infinite capacity for physical, spiritual, and emotional change that lies within them, and the opportunity to claim the joy that comes with these discoveries. Marie meets each student where they are and offers an experience based on the student's state of being in the moment. Whether working through a particular challenge or injury, interested in refining your practice, or in the mood for being led through an uplifting class that is devoted specifically to your needs.
Kevin Hibbitt began teaching Vinyasa and Restorative yoga in 2003. His style is influenced by his foundation in the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition, his study of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and his work as a psychotherapist. Kevin holds yoga as a practice that invites us to explore and transform the fabric of the mind and body as well as emotional experience. He is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working in private practice and with adolescents in acute inpatient treatment.

Team Obama Pulls the 'Gray Hair' Stunt Again
It gets us every time.
Remember when, in August of 2008, Barack Obama started talking about how his hair was going gray? He was about to head into convention season, when Republicans would spend weeks touting John McCain's experience and wisdom over Obama's much-hyped "judgment." At the time, Obama said: "When I started this campaign people called me a young man. They're not calling me that anymore." Yeah, it wasn't very subtle. And now the president, who could use a little puff piece at the moment, and who could also use a boost to his trustworthiness, is at it again. His personal barber managed to speak to two national papers on the same day about his client's increasingly silver locks. The Washington Post and New York Times both followed the fluff and produced prominent stories. "It's been [754 days], if you can believe it, since a baby-faced senator stood in the winter chill in Springfield, Ill., to declare his candidacy for president," marveled the Post. "With each debate, after every primary fight, it seems Barack Obama's tightly clipped hair became just a dash saltier." [Translation: Our president is getting wiser and wiser!] "Mr. Obama seems to have noticed it at least as far back as last summer," remembers the Times. [Translation: Yep! We're still writing the same story when he wants us to!]

LinkedIn is a lot of different things to a lot of different users. Arguably the most powerful place to make connections with business owners, executives, decision makers, recruiters, job seekers and the like. With more than 433 million users, many of whom are executives and decision makers, it is a very powerful but congested venue for building relationships and credibility. This is where having a basic understanding of LinkedIn SEO is very useful.

What is Crowdsourcing?
Years before it was penned crowdsourcing by Jeff Howe in Wired Magazine I was involved with this concept and watched it work quite well. A friend's small car dealership was looking for a new jingle for their radio ads. Instead of hiring a marketing company (or using an internal employee) they put the word out that anyone in Austin could submit a jingle and the winner would receive $1000 bucks! The response was incredible and the jingle is still being used 20+ years later. A key ingredient to this success was the location as Austin TX was/is packed full of singer songwriters. We'll talk more about that later.
9 Ways to Get Around SPAM filters.
After signing up for a couple of lead generation websites lo and behold leads started appearing in my inbox. I had read earlier on their site that I should make contact immediately through email and a phone call. I decided to build an email that would be like none other. I added my company's history as well as mine. So far so good… but now the creative juices were starting to flow. I put a coupon in it and of course tweaking my signature for that lasting impression. Embed our BBB and my LinkedIn link with image buttons they could click on. I leaned back and was well pleased.
QR Codes for Business Marketing.
The new QR codes have become a powerful tool in marketing. I have designed a business card using my QR Code (see below) that I hand out in networking events to get more users to this blog for example. By using apps such as QR Droid you can simply scan the QR code and it takes your always on mobile device somewhere. Now traditionally static advertising media becomes interactive. Very powerful stuff!
Location Based Services Smart for Business
I recently investigated Foursquare, Yowza and others. I'm not a game guy and definitely don't use coupons but this mobile presence idea is intriguing to me and should be to you.
Save Your Business.
I was in a retail toy store the other day and the owner randomly asked me what I thought he could do to improve his sales. He is leasing a nice store front in a small strip mall but off the beaten path. I told him that his location sucked. He looked shocked but ultimately agreed. I also told him that that's OK. "I have successfully run plenty of retail store fronts in lousy locations." I assumed he got a screaming deal on the lease and he had.

Joe Biden condemns Republican booing of gay soldier
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Exactly Joe. As a veteran, I feel the same. It was reprehensible and disgusting, expecially when the 9 bozo's candidates stood in silence to it.
I agree with Joe Biden.. (who seems like a great guy anyway)…
But wasn't that a GOOD thing to happen? Wasn't it the RIGHT thing to happen during the debate? Isn't that what the whole debate was FOR?
Instead of being all mealy-mouthed and LYING, at least these 9 homophobic scumbags revealed themselves, one and all, in their true colours.
After that debate then, surely only similarily brain-dead losers will vote for them?
I agree with you. Just let these morons continue talking so the world can see their rampant bigotry. Still a cause for concern though as we have no shortage of brain-dead losers here in the US who will be more than happy to vote for them.
There are three issues at play – Some people did boo, it is on tape and the fact cannot be argued with. All of the candidates failed to react, this is not conduct becoming of a potential Commander in Chief and shows them to be craven. The rest of the audience did not damn or cry shame on those that booed, which brings to mind the line – All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Everyone there that day, from the intolerant mob to the empty suits on the stage to those who sat in silence collaborated in that reprehensible act.
Didn't those who disagreed once sit by and do nothing back in the 30s and look what the world was almost doomed to? To paraphrase: 'democracy is at its greatest peril when good people do nothing.'
Now if we can get rid of Michelle Backman and Sarah Pahlen we'll have it made.
Not at all – the truth is there'll always be a Sarah Palin or Michelle Backman…The only thing we have control over is in making sure that every single person is taught to think for themselves based on reasonably made research and is exposed to a wide diversity of opinion/people and experiences throughout their lives (and especially their childhood)
…Its called 'balance'
So far in the West debate has been tied down to 'dont know better and therefore lie' to 'think I know better than you and therefore lie to make it easier for you to understand' – its about time it became about proper sensible and serious issues to do with moving society forward and bringing about positive and healthy change.
"Reprehensible" doesn't begin to describe this behaviour that is no better than school-yard bullying. In fact, worse since it was coming from so-called "adults" who want to lead a country. That not one of the candidates spoke out against the behaviour speaks volumes to what kind of a future they have in store for the States.
Quite right. Thankfully is showed up the Republican party for what it is…an absolute disgrace.
Lets hope the voting public take note and respond.
An open goal for a politician like Biden – and, especially in the US, an opportunity to label an opponent as unpatriotic is irresistible. But I'm glad he didn't let it pass by!
I just 'boo' Republicans- constantly!

Biomass Deconstruction and Conversion
Natural Biocatalysts Outperform Industry Standard
Comparative study finds heat-loving microbes could reduce the need for thermochemical pretreatment
In the most comprehensive controlled comparison to date of lignocellulosic solubilization by various biocatalysts, BESC researchers found that naturally cellulolytic microbes such as Clostridium thermocellum (stained green and growing on poplar tissue in image) achieved significantly higher solubilization yields over commercial pretreatment systems. [Image courtesy ORNL]Read More
Promise of Unusual Lignin Polymer as Feedstock for Carbon Fiber
Stronger, Lighter Carbon Fiber Could Be Used in Parts for Cars, Aircraft, Electronics, and Sports Equipment
BESC researchers discovered an unusual lignin polymer in the seed coats of vanilla beans (pictured) that is naturally biosynthesized from caffeyl (C) alcohol. In contrast to lignin polymers that are highly cross-linked, C-lignin is a linear polymer, which makes it easier to process into high-quality carbon fibers. [Image courtesy iStock]Read More
Identification of Poplar Adaptation Mechanisms
Findings Could Lead to More Efficient Ways of Breeding High-Ethanol-Yielding Poplar and Other Tree Species
Using whole-genome sequencing and high-throughput phenotyping, BESC researchers were able to rapidly pinpoint gene mutations responsible for causing low lignin levels in poplar trees planted in a variety of environmental conditions. This proof-of-concept will allow researchers to tag genes associated with other economically important but complex plant traits. [Image courtesy BESC]Read More
Beneficial Plant Gene Discovery
Research Lays Groundwork for New Ways of Manipulating Plants
BESC researchers discovered a previously uncharacterized gene (GXMT1), which directs a key step in the development of xylan, a principal component of cell walls in plants such as Arabidopsis (pictured). Characterizing this gene, which makes the plant resistant to biofuel conversion, will lead to improved strategies for modifying such cell wall structures to help turn plants into biofuel more efficiently. [Image courtesy iStock]Read More
Molecular Structure of Plant Biomass
Imaging Reveals Enzymes in Action and Significance of Plants' Nanoscale Architecture
Plant cell walls contain networks of cellulose microfibrils that can be broken down into sugars for fuel and complex polymers that shield the cellulose from enzymatic attack. To characterize cell wall structure at the subnanometer scale and assess its response to chemical pretreatment, BESC developed techniques to image enzyme digestion in real time, revealing that biomass reactivity is determined by the nanoscale architecture of plant cell walls.Read More
A Leap Forward in Microbial Ethanol Yields
Engineered yeast converts up to 97% of plant sugars into fuel
Scientists at BESC and research partner Mascoma LLC have developed an advanced strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that sets a new standard for conversion of biomass sugars from pretreated corn stover. While conventional yeast (pictured) leaves more than one-third of plant sugars unused in the form of xylose, the C5 FUEL™ microbe efficiently converts this xylose into ethanol in less than 48 hours.Read More
Real-World Performance of Low-Lignin Switchgrass
Field study assesses sugar release and ethanol yield in transgenic feedstock
Lignin in the cell walls of switchgrass and other bioenergy feedstocks severely limits the accessibility of cell wall carbohydrates to enzymatic breakdown into fermentable sugars and subsequently biofuels. In the first reported study of its kind, the biofuel potential of transgenic switchgrass with reduced lignin content was evaluated over two growing seasons.Read More
Industry Collaborations>
Using a "commercialization council" of technology transfer and intellectual property (IP) management professionals from partner institutions, BESC evaluates the commercial potential of new inventions arising from BESC research and promotes and facilitates the licensing of BESC IP.
Education Outreach>
BESC's education program, which is 75% self-sustaining, takes a novel approach. BESC has developed lesson plans to educate students about energy production and utilization. BESC uses a hub-and-spoke approach of working through regional science centers to maximize hands-on access and adaptation to local conditions.

Brief Synopsis
One of the basics of strategy is understanding the foe and the type of war in which a nation is involved. Perhaps even more basic than that is the seemingly simple requirement to understand that the nation is at war. The Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) does not fit easily into the mold of war, but that is because of too much comparison with conventional wars; the Cold War may provide a better model. The United States--especially the government, but also the people--need to focus more fully on prosecuting the GWOT, but there is no requirement for the full mobilization seen in World War II. This report chronicles the panels and resulting papers from the Seventeenth Annual U.S. Army War College Strategy Conference, held at Carlisle Barracks, PA, in April 2006.

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
Writing for Slate, Sarah Boxer (who, it should be noted, is a cartoonist in her own right) penned a review of Tim Hamilton's adaptation of the Ray Bradbury classic Fahrenheit 451 that — initially at least — seems flummoxed by the whole "graphic novel boom" thing:
It's hard to know what on earth Bradbury was thinking. Did he just give in to the enemy? And what was the artist, Hamilton, thinking, when he illustrated the fire chief's rant with his own tableau of degraded books: Hamlet for Dimwits, Time magazine, and, yes, two Classic Comics editions, Moby Dick and Treasure Island. (Hamilton himself illustrated a comic-book version of Treasure Island before taking on Fahrenheit 451.) It's as if author and artist were vigorously waving a white flag and shouting, "We couldn't beat 'em, so we joined 'em!"
Later on she adds:
Graphic novels may win some new readers, but the text is almost always shortened to make way for pictures, and what survives of it is radically different: It's mostly dialogue, like a screenplay. In the graphic-novel version of Fahrenheit 451, almost all of the words are spoken. Even the pictures confirm that the novel has become a script.
By the end of the review, however, she turns around and suggests that Hamilton's adaptation was more in keeping with Bradbury's own interests in the medium and the book's larger themes. It's all very confusing.
Still, who reads all the way through an article these days? The damage was done and the review was muddled and grumpy enough to incite a firestorm in the comments section:
I'm not going to try to quote every noteworthy comment here — life's too short. Suffice it to say most of them can be grouped in the following ways: a) Bradbury loves comics and has been adapted in comics since the '50s with EC, so nyeah; 2) Boxer should read Watchman! Or Maus! No, Persepolis! Sandman! c) Graphic novels should be solely reviewed by people who like graphic novels; and d) FU Sarah Boxer! Stop being a hater!
What interests/concerns me is not so much Boxer's take on the Fahrenheit adaptation or even her vague disdain for the medium as her seeming insistence, as shown in that second quote, that words paired with pictures inevitably results in an inferior product compared to a novel.
It's balderdash of course. While bad comic adaptations of classic books are a dime a dozen, there are enough good ones (like City of Glass) to put Boxer's lie to rest. The key is in letting the art tell the story.
It's a point that NPR's Glen Weldon puts more eloquently than I really could:
Let me try to put it more concretely: In the best graphic novels/comics/sequential art/whatever, the art doesn't just sit there. It doesn't simply illustrate what the words are describing, because comics are more than just books with pictures.
No, the art takes over a share of the heavy lifting. It does its own, independent narrative work: it characterizes, sets the tone, advances the plot, etc.
The art, in other words, gets off its damn butt.
Go and read the rest of Weldon's essay. It's not just a perfect encapsulation of what makes a good adaptation, but also a primer on how to write for comics in general.
"While bad comic adaptations of classic books are a dime a dozen, there are enough good ones (like City of Glass) to put Boxer's lie to rest."
Hmm. CITY OF GLASS I'll give you, but otherwise I'm drawing a big blank here.
This is an interesting post overall, though.
"CITY OF GLASS I'll give you, but otherwise I'm drawing a big blank here."
Cooke's "The Hunter", Shanower and Young's "Wonderful Wizard of OZ", Edgington and Culbard's "Hound of the Baskervilles". Bo Hampton did a pretty great "Legend of Sleepy Hollow". I'm sure there are others.
I guess it depends on what is meant by "good." I can see why someone would consider those examples successful as decent comics, but none of them, in my opinion (except for CITY OF GLASS), approach the richness and complexity of their source material.
This is not to say that comics aren't capable of being as rich and complex as novels, but only that really great prose-to-comics adaptations don't seem especially common. Or at least that something is inevitably lost in adaptation (which I would think should be an uncontroversial point), and that a great adaptation needs to be extremely well thought out.
I did ponder the irony of a book that pretty much says that comics are for the illiterate becoming a comic. But yes, Bradbury is a comics fan, and would probably say that today's comics are nothing like the kiddie oriented comics of the 50s.
I will also add that by and large, the book-to-comic trend is not something I care about. I'd rather read the original, and read something else original in a comic book. I know that an adaptation can sometimes transcend the original – we've seen this in the movies often, of course – but what I've seen so far is at the same level as the Harry Potter films, more a highlight reel than anything else.
Trust you to hold my feet to the fire Tim! Well, scanning my shelves, I came across Robert Crumb's Introducing Kalfka and his excerpt from Samuel Johnson's journal, Hunt Emerson's Rime of the Ancient Mariner and John K. Snyder III's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It's arguable perhaps whether any of these succeed in the way that City does, but they do allow me to see the original work from a new perspective.
Plus, the more I think about it, I think Glass is kind of a rarity. Very few adaptations, whether you're talking books, movies or what have you, are able to attain that sort of artistry.
On the "haven't read it but it's an adaptation" front, both Jason's The Iron Wagon and Takehiko Inoue's Vagabond hold up really well on their own. I don't feel when I'm reading them like I need to consult the source material.
Why would Bradbury treat the comics medium with disdain when he wholeheartedly approved of (and wrote an introduction for) the video game sequel to Fahrenheit 451? (Which I played and liked quite a bit.)
I get the impression from having read Bradbury (though this doesn't come from an interview or any direct source) that he's simply a proponent of storytelling. Tell stories. Lots of stories. Re-tell them, the same way and different ways. The more the better.
"…none of them, in my opinion (except for CITY OF GLASS), approach the richness and complexity of their source material"
I see the point, but I've rarely found it useful to compare work from one medium with work from another. Saying that a comics (or film or stage) adaptation of a novel doesn't reach the level of complexity of the source material is missing the point of an adaptation, I think. You experience a comic book or a film or a stage play in a different way than you experience a novel. Novels, by their very nature and format, are more complex and detailed than other media.
It takes hours to read a novel, depending on the length, whereas a comic, or a film or a stage play usually takes somewhere between 1 1/2 – 3 hours to experience. But does that mean that the comic, film or stage play cannot be experienced and appreciated for what it is and judged by what it is, rather than being judged by the same story told in a different format? I don't personally think so, which is why I rarely, if ever, say that a book is "better" than a film or a play or a comic.
A good example of what I'm talking about is the Lord of the Rings and it's film adaptation. The book is quite a bit more complex and detailed and takes it's time to tell the story, with a great many meanderings and side stories that would arrest the narrative drive of the film. The film tells the story differently, but no less effectively, expanding upon some things that were only hinted at in the novel (battle scenes being the most obvious example of this). But you experience the novel on a different (not higher or lower, just different) level than you do the film.
Novels do some things better than films or comics or plays. But films and comics and plays do some things better than novels. The best you can hope for is a complementary experience, but if a film or comic or stage version of a novel fails, I feel it should be judged against other, perhaps similar films, comics or plays, rather than against the source material. It's one of the reasons I like to experience all kinds of media, because I simply love stories and the varied methods that can be employed to tell them.
Jeez, that got long-winded, didn't it? Sorry about that.
@Chris — I don't think Crumb's Kafka book counts, since those are mostly illustrations, but the Boswell diaries he adapted are indeed great (if still very short!). I haven't read the Emerson or Snyder, but will have to try them out. I'm sure there are several other examples of fully successful prose-to-comics adaptations, but I still think it's true that they're few and far between.
@Matt Halteman — I don't disagree with you very much. Except that while it may not be "useful" to compare comics to books, I do think it can be fun and enlightening. And also, I totally think it's possible for a book to be better and more rewarding than its movie incarnation (including, I'm sorry to say, THE LORD OF THE RINGS), or vice versa (JAWS or THE GODFATHER, for examples), and I don't see any reason not to say so. But mostly I hear you and agree with you.
T. Hoder – It's funny that you mention JAWS because I meant to point out in my previous post that it was the best example of the exception to my theory, but somehow never got around to it. I felt the movie made the characters much more believable, likable and complex than they were in the book.
I actually didn't want to punch the movie version of the Matt Hooper character in the throat like I did the book version (of course, the portrayal of said character by the great Richard Dreyfuss probably had a lot to do with that). In the book, Brody is pretty much the only character that I gave a damn about.
It's probably telling that Peter Benchley wrote both the novel and the screenplay for the movie. I think there was a fair amount of "fixing" things in the movie that didn't work well in the book.

The Loneliness of an NPR Interviewee
If you're a big fan of Belle & Sebastian (I am), you might be interested in this long interview with Stuart Murdoch on NPR on Monday. Make no mistake, Terry Gross is a douchetardshe asks the guy about 25 different times about chronic fatigue syndrome and almost no good questions about his musicbut it's worth listening to simply for the fact that it's unusual. Murdoch famously doesn't do interviews. He turned down The Stranger.
The band is touring America right now with The Life Pursuit, and the Seattle showMarch 25 at the Paramountis sold out, but NPR (I love you, NPR!) has a concert they just did in Washington, DC here. Here's the set list:
Another Sunny Day
Women's Realm
Sukie in the Graveyard
Electric Renaissance
The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner
To Be Myself Completely
The Blues Are Still Blue
Piazza, New York Catcher
Belle and Sebastian
Funny Little Frog
She's Losing It
Your Cover's Blown
Dog On Wheels
I'm A Cuckoo
The Wrong Girl
If You Find Yourself Caught in Love
Judy and the Dream of Horses
White Collar Boy
Me and the Major
Plus, at one point, Murdoch sings a couple bars of the Pet Shop Boys's "It's a Sin," a capella.
[I should mention that "douchetard" is not my word; it's Sean Nelson's. You are brilliant, Sean Nelson.]

Commonweal Magazine
Trending Topics:
James Finn, who served as a Commonweal editor from 1955 to 1961, died on March 20, 2002 in New York City. Jim remained a good friend as well as a steady contributor to these pages long after he left the staff. In his years at Commonweal, his editorials ranged from religion to literature to politics to foreign affairs. And it was in foreign affairs and issues of war and peace that Finn distinguished himself as editorial director first at the Council on Religion and Internal Affairs (CRIA) and then at Freedom House. He was the author of Protest: Pacifism and Politics, written during the war in Vietnam, the editor of several volumes on war, peace, and religion, and a frequent contributor to the New York Times, the New Republic, Commentary, First Things, Crisis, and the National Review. He was an infantryman in Europe during World War II. One of his most compelling contributions to this magazine was "Citizen Soldier: The How & Why of One Man's War" (April 24, 1998), a reflection on both the personal and communal meaning of fighting against Hitler. Always willing to engage in serious, even fierce, political debate, Jim Finn was as well an irenic man and a hospitable one. At his funeral Mass, Commonweal board member Alice Mayhew observed in her eulogy that "I believe I have never known anyone so calmly happy, so content with his life. He had a fine education, and important, meaningful work. He had his books-his novels,...

Tattoo Removal
Thanks for answering - your answer appears below
loli68 3 years ago
Hi, you really need to have a consultation with an experienced expert. Tattoo removal can be laser or non laser and it depends on the tattoo itself what you will want to do. If its laser, you should be looking to pay between £50 and £75 per treatment and it can take as many as 15 treatments over a couple of years. I hope this helps

Hi. I'm afraid it's not that simple.Laser removal takes several sittings and the price per sitting depends on the size of the tattoo. You will need to come in for a chat so we can explain the process and give you a cost.
traceybell 3 years ago
Hi Galatiak,
Many thanks for enquiry.
Tattoo removal starts at £85 per treatment but will vary depending on the size of the tattoo.
We usually recommend a consultation for more specific pricing per individual if you would like to arrange something.
Best Wishes

Book News: Amazon Makes Direct Offer To Hachette Authors
Paul Sakuma/AP
The daily lowdown on books, publishing, and the occasional author behaving badly.
- The intrigue continues in the publishing dispute between Amazon and Hachette Book Group. On Tuesday, the retailer wrote directly to a handful of Hachette authors, asking for thoughts on a proposal that would give 100 percent of digital profits to authors while the fight continues. Amazon's vice president of Kindle content and independent publishing, David Naggar, wrote in a letter that the move "would motivate both Hachette and Amazon to work faster to resolve the situation." In a phone conversation with NPR, Hachette author Sherman Alexie dismissed the proposal as "a negotiating tactic," adding: "It's not real. It's just to get people talking." Hachette initially called the suggestions laid out in the letter "suicidal." After news of the letter to authors broke, Amazon sent the offer directly to Hachette, which rejected it, saying, "We believe that the best outcome for the writers we publish is a contract with Amazon that brings genuine marketing benefits and whose terms allow Hachette to continue to invest in writers, marketing, and innovation." Amazon, responding to the "suicidal" comment, said, "We call baloney. Hachette is part of a $10 billion global conglomerate. It wouldn't be 'suicide.' They can afford it. What they're really making clear is that they absolutely want their authors caught in the middle of this negotiation because they believe it increases their leverage. ... Our offer is sincere. They should take us up on it."
- The CIA's style manual, which was released after a Freedom of Information Act request, recommends that writing be "crisp and pungent." (Crisp and pungent). As might be expected, the sample sentences tend toward the warlike or bureaucratic. (The manual was posted online a year ago, but only picked up by news outlets in the past few days.)
- "Some people see things others cannot, and they are right, and we call them creative geniuses. Some people see things others cannot, and they are wrong, and we call them mentally ill." — Nancy Andreasen looks at the sources of creativity in The Atlantic.
- Jonathan Russell Clark considers the art of the first line: "[W]hat I love about opening sentences is the complete lack of rules."
- In Guernica, Luis Alberto Urrea writes about people made "invisible by language, skin color, and class." He says, "[W]e have applauded ourselves for abandoning the whip. As far as I can tell, though, we don't offer them the great honor of a steady gaze."

Director: Andre Madness

Cast: Mary Carey, Gina Lynn, Angel Long, Krystal Steal, Olivia Saint, Kaiser Sosay, Dave Rave, Dillion (I), Lee Stone, Shark, Cameron (I), August, Andy Poncherello
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
Glamorous box cover featuring Lynn will move this one.
Gina Lynn plays and unemployed hottie who spends her last twenty bucks at the fortune-teller. the soothsayer's prediction is that she will meet a guy who will inherit a fortune and make her rich, but Lynn doesn't believe it. That's the prelude to the ending twist of this likeable tale.
Lynn absolutely smokes throughout, taking on strip club boss Lee Stone in the back room for starters. In the feature's most stylish scene, Lynn displays one of the best asses in porn in doggie-style before she eats Stone's cum and makes sexy eyes at him. Lynn later lets Cheyne Collins rock her ass before Krystal Steal increases the wow factor with a cowgirl and doggie throw-down with Collins. But we can't forget the opener with Angel Long and Dillion that is downright scorching. Long delivers a creamy anal doggie round and breezes through at least a dozen A2M's during the missionary anal. Nasty stuff. Pre-nom that one and the Lynn-Stone pairing for Best Couples Scene. Director Andre Madness deserves special credit for capturing his women totally naked and framing the sex beautifully.

3 Days in San Juan
San Juan Off the Beaten Path
Romantic Guide to San Juan
Service is slow, but the servers and bartenders are extremely nice. The food is pretty decent, but the menu is limited.
We had a very good lunch here: really tasty chicken soup and a cuban sandwich, and quite good mojitos. The place is nicely decorated with tiled tables and lots of art and the service was attentive and friendly.
This restaurant in Old San Juan was recommended by our hotel. It was a great find! The food was excellent! The service was very good! Try the Spanish wine! The prices were reasonable. We so enjoyed our dinning experience. Nice ambience in the courtyard of this charming hotel.
We were looking for some attractions and a wonderfully helpful local pointed us in the direction of El Patio for mofungo. We sat at the bar and chatted with Juan. He stated that they have been doing mofungo since 1942, and it showed. I had the chicken and by husband had the steak (which I thought was better). Juan was...
Good food, service and a beautiful ambient. It is situated in the patio of the hotel, it has a huge tree inside, which makes a pretty nice atmosphere.
It seems that sometime when we travel, we just plain eat too much. My husband and I had a great meal here. He had a wonderful tomato based gazpacho soup and I had a salad. It was perfect with a glass of wine. Downside were bugs that ate me. I would recommend a mosquito repellent.
We asked a man for a food recommendation and he said El Patio. We actually followed him as his family was departing. El Patio was another wonderful find. The guys ate mufungo with chicken, Mom ate fried shrimp and I had fried pork chop. I have to say, I enjoyed everyone else's food better than mine simply because I was...
My wife and I went here to get a nice lunch on our first full day in San Juan. Its within walking distance to El Morro and Castillo de San Cristobal.
She got the Mofongo and we both really liked it. I got a lime-rum drink which was awesome but my Encebollado was average.
Don't listen to the bad reviews, this is a nice little spot right in the lobby of the Embassy Suites, Isle Verda. I recently stayed there 2 weeks on a business trip, and ate at El Patio several times, and eat time was unique and the food was great. Nothing but fast food is cheap in this area, but the...
I like a place a lot, probably I am biased, but this is my kind of thing. Inner yard, in the middle of old kind of square building offers both space and intimacy. Food was superb, wine even better. Simply beautiful.

Pacquiao already 146 lbs; Sparring to start next week
Pacquiao gets 'five' from Roach
By NICK GIONGCO
March 22, 2011, 12:56am
BAGUIO CITY, Philippines Manny Pacquiao is making great progress in his training that Freddie Roach has already given him a passing grade after only a week in the gym.
A five (out of 10), said Roach after doing the mitts with the Filipino pound-for-pound king Monday afternoon before a mix of media and fans at the Shape Up Gym.
With the fight with Shane Mosley exactly 47 days away, Roach feels they are almost halfway through the eight-week buildup.
The arrival of sparmates Shawn Porter and David Rodela from the US is a sign Pacquiaos training will enter a crucial phase pretty soon and Roach said the banging of bodies should begin early next week.
Another surprised visitor during the workout was Top Rank chief Bob Arum, who arrived here solely for the purpose of holding a day with the media and checking on the status of his Pacquiaos preparation for the May 7 battle with Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Its incredible seeing Manny train like this, said Arum, joined here by his step-daughter Dena DuBoef.
But Arum is not looking past the 39-year-old Mosley, who, like Pacquiao, is also in the thick of training in Big Bear, California.
If Mosley is fighting somebody who is very defensive, his age will be a factor, because hed be trying to catch Manny, said the Hall of Fame promoter.
But Manny is somebody who plays inside Mosleys game because he comes to fight, added the 79-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer.
Roach, meanwhile, said he will try to maintain the number of mitts session with Pacquiao for fear of course of seeing his No. 1 fighter peak too soon.
Pacquiao is so into the zone of training that conditioning coach Alex Ariza told Arum that, this early, Pacquiao is already within the welterweight limit of 147 lbs.
146 (lbs), said Ariza.
Unbelievable, quipped Arum.

Ever since his 1998 debut, Confessions Of Fire, Cam'ron's relationship with his former label, Epic, has been sketchy at best. Though both of Cam's releases on Epic went Gold, his claims of mismanagement are not entirely unfounded, as radio-friendly singles came ("Horse & Carriage") and went ("What Means The World To You") without being fully capitalized upon. Things worsened after Cam's sophomore LP, S.D.E. (Sex, Drugs & Entertainment), went ghetto gold (bootlegged) months before the LP's proper release date. Unsatisfied with Epic's inability to properly market him, Cam launched a grass-roots campaign (including rumors of harassing Epic employees) for his release, which eventually spawned his deal to become the latest member of the Roc-La-Famila.
The new alliegience has undeniably resulted in a healthier outlook for Cam with his Roc-A-Fella debut Come Home With Me. Not only does his deal with the Roc result in automatic collaborations with Jay-Z, Beanie Sigel, and Memphis Bleek, it also gives Cam access to the Roc's hidden treasures— Kanye West, Ty Fyffe, and D/R Period. Just Blaze's imprint is immediately etched over the LP with the breakout smash "Oh Boy" and that buzz promises to last throughout the summer with follow-up's "Welcome To New York City" f/ Juelz Santana and Jay-Z and "Dead Or Alive" f/ Jimmy Jones.
Unfortunately, follow-up singles are probably all Come Home With Me has left, as the majority of the album is carried not by the lyrics of Cam, but by the Roc's all-star production team. Also, it is obvious that there is a rushed aspect to Come Home With Me, as Cam only carries two tracks by himself and in order to capitalize on the buzz surrounding his move to Roc-A-Fella, Cam hastily tries to re-work ("Live My Life") 2Pac's "Ambitionz Az A Ridah", which includes a horribly crooned hook by Daz Dillinger and "Come Home With Me" snatches the beat from a Ghostface Killah interlude.
The majority of the tracks on Come Home With Me were recorded before Cam jumped ship and that may explain why there is such a heavy reliance on Juelz Santana and the rest of the Diplomats. However, in the future Cam needs to give his crew less love and handle Blaze and Kayne's production for 'delf.
