Tonight saw Unified Sounds Cutting Edge Show @ Underworld, Camden. Seeing the band line up tonight, it was clear to see why this event already had a massive queue forming outside well before the doors were due to be opened. Despite the half hour wait after they were due to open, the crowd soon filled up the venue & it was packed to the rim!

Lee man accused of shooting stepson ordered to undergo mental health evaluation
PITTSFIELD -- A Lee man who police say shot his stepson three times on Thursday is being held without bail and will spend the next 20 days in a psychiatric hospital for a mental health evaluation. The stepson was reported in stable condition Friday at the hospital.
Phap D. Nguyen, a 51-year-old who resides with his family at 175 Beartown Road in Lee, was arraigned Friday afternoon in Central Berkshire District Court, where he pleaded not guilty to armed assault to murder.
Nguyen was ordered sent to Bridgewater State Hospital by Judge Michael J. Ripps. Nguyen's evaluation there is to determine if he is competent to stand trial.
According to a police report, Nguyen uttered a profanity before shooting 30-year-old Jeremy Lee Deane once in each leg and once in the abdomen, as the stepson rummaged in the refrigerator for a snack at about 5:30 p.m. Thursday. Nguyen then aimed the gun at his stepson's head, but had it pulled away by his wife, according to court documents.
"It's OK, Dad, I still love you" was what Deane allegedly told his stepfather as Deane lay bleeding on the kitchen floor.
As of Friday afternoon, Deane was in stable condition at Berkshire Medical Center.
The family dog was killed by a single gunshot to the head, police said. On Friday, Nguyen pleaded not guilty to an animal cruelty charge.
Thursday evening, the shooting drew a response of force from law enforcement, including Lee Police and Massachusetts State Police, as well as officers from Lenox, Stockbridge and Pittsfield, and members of the Berkshire County Special Response Team.
Nguyen was taken into custody and processed at the State Police barracks in Lee. The 9 mm pistol used in the shooting was recovered by police.
Police said Nguyen was distraught when he was arrested, screaming "I killed my son" and asking the police to shoot him.
According to information given to police by family members, Nguyen was taking large amounts of Oxycodone as well as other prescription drugs for ongoing back pain, and in the last few months had been acting unstable. His daughter told police Nguyen had said that "the devil" was "coming to get him" and that Deane was "pushing him toward the devil."
Nguyen, who is originally from Vietnam, previously suffered "flashbacks," according to what his family told police.
A competency exam was ordered for Nguyen on Friday. J. Roger Goldin, a court-appointed psychiatrist, told the judge that there were questions about whether the defendant could assist in his own defense and believed Nguyen should be evaluated further.
Goldin said the defendant "drifts and is unable to stay focused," breaks down into tears, wails and keeps repeating, "Why, why."
Nguyen is scheduled to be back in Southern Berkshire District Court in Great Barrington for a pretrial hearing on Jan. 3, 2013.
Nguyen is being represented by attorney Jill Sheldon. Assistant Berkshire District Attorney Kelly M. Kemp is prosecuting.
The case will most likely go to a grand jury, based on the charges.

J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s recent legal challenges almost makes Bernie Madoff look like Pope Benedict. Fraud? Check. Failed mortgages? Check. Bribery and falsifying bank records? Check and check.
J.P. Morgan is looking to clean up its act in a big way, and according to one recent Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report, the company's compliance sector is about to receive a huge boost. The report says J.P. Morgan plans to spend an additional $4 billion and commit 5,000 extra employees to risk and compliance this year to clean up the company's issues.
"Fixing our controls issues is job number one," Chief Executive Officer James Dimon told the WSJ in an interview. "This is a huge investment of people, time and money… but it will make us stronger in the long run."
J.P. Morgan has spent more than $17 billion on legal fees since 2008, according to securities filings. An analysis by FBR Capital Markets reveals that tab is more than any of the company's financial rivals, even similarly embattled Bank of America ($16.1 billion). The bank also operates under four different regulatory enforcement actions—more than any other financial institution—and still faces at least seven different investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The largest portion of the increased compliance spending will come from increased staffing. The company plans to hire 3,000 people to the bank's control staff, while an additional 2,000 people will be re-assigned to risk and compliance from within the business division. According to the WSJ, this will bring J.P. Morgan's total risk and compliance staff up to 15,000, more than double the staff's size from the start of 2012.
The company has also hired consultants from McKinsey & Co., Ernst & Young and other firms to help with compliance issues. J.P. Morgan estimates it has provided 750,000 hours of training on risk and compliance issues in the past year.

I'm currently trying to implement range checking and overflow/underflow checking for multiplication and division, but... it's more complicated than addition and subtraction.
My current way is somewhat messy.
If we assume that a custom range is set to:
Min: 0
Max: 100 000
And we have the number 15 and want to multiply by 10 000, we would get 150 000, which is above > 100 000 and thus would result in overflow and a number that is 50 000 afterwards.
The problem is that checking if Result > upper bound is not always feasible, since for example, if the upper bound is the maximum range for a 64-bit integer. The result would be an overflow, so I can't do it that way. This suggests another way.
Using mathematics, I came up with:
Min: 0
Max: 100 000
Base: 15
Multiply By: 10 000
100 000 / 15 = 6666
(Divide upper range with the current number stored (m_Data). Basically see how many times we can multiply this number with until we hit the upper bound. Also truncate to integer.)
6666 >= 10 000
(Check if the number we can multiply with is larger or equal to the amount we want to multiply with. If the result is true, then we will have no overflow.)
If true, no overflow
(If no)
10 000 - 6666 = 3334
(Get the remaining amount to multiply with that would exceed the upper bound.)
15 * 6666 = 99 990
(Multiply the current number with the maximum number we can multiply by that does not exceed the upper bound.)
100 000 - 99 990 = 10
(Calculate the difference between the maximum number and the result of the current operation. This is to take into account the lost digits due to the integer truncation.)
15 * 3334 = 50 010
(Multiply the number by the amount that exceeded the upper bound.)
50 010 - 10 = 50 000
(Subtract the difference due to the integer truncation.)
Since floating point numbers aren't reliable, I chose to do integer math instead.
But this is a pretty long way of doing it and it doesn't even take into account negative numbers on either side!
There must a better way to do it (big precision library to handle bigger numbers?) or a way to modify the algorithm or whatever to call it to work with negative numbers.
This is only for multiplication, as well. Then I'd have to implement a similar method for division. So I'm looking for insight into the matter.
Anything that might help would be nice.

Choosing the right air conditioning for your home or office can seem to be a daunting task. Like choosing a vehicle, the type and brand of air conditioner can mean the difference between the life span and the cost of your electricity bill. The size of your home is the most important factor when considering your new air conditioning unit.
Tonnage is the term used in the Air Conditioning world to measure the size of a unit. A common question is "does the unit actually weigh a ton or 2.5 tons or 3 tons?" The short answer is no. In layman's terms tonnage for air conditioners is the amount of cooling capacity for a specific unit. One ton of cooling is the amount of heat needed to melt one ton of ice in a 24 hour period. Don't get wrapped up in the tonnage of the unit as it is a specific calculation based on the size of your home.
Air Conditioner manufacturing has changed over the past 20 years, and like the rest of the country has gone green to an extent. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio more commonly known as the SEER in the Air Conditioning industry is energy efficiency of the unit. In 2006 the Federal standards changed for new Air Conditioning units. New units can have a minimum of a 13 SEER rating, and some units carry upwards to a 23 SEER rating! In the Florida heat a 13 SEER system will cost you more to operate than a higher rated SEER system.
Tax rebates are a huge benefit of purchasing a higher SEER rated unit. Some tax rebates can be as high as $500 depending on the specific unit. The key to purchasing any unit is doing some quick research before buying. And like any major investment for your home, many times you will get what you pay for. It may mean more upfront cost to purchase a more expensive unit, however in the long run the money saved on your energy bill will far outweigh the cost of the more expensive units.
While these tips are a general guideline to choosing the right Air Conditioning for your home, it is best left to an expert in the field to help you in making the right choice for your Air Conditioning needs.

Versatile Young sparkling in return to infield
By Owen Perkins / Special to MLB.com
SCOTSDALE, Ariz. -- The way Eric Young's spring is going, it would take a team of "Argo-esque" operatives to extricate him from the Rockies roster when they head north in April. EY has offered Walt Weiss everything a manager could ask for, all at warp speed.
He's hitting .300, and has played left, center, and second base, with Weiss eager to consider him as an option at third as well. He creates runs out of nothing, as he did Friday against the Brewers, bunting for a single and advancing a runner to third, then scoring from first on a Carlos Gonzalez double for what proved to be the winning run.
The challenge for Young is supposed to be reintroducing himself to the infield, but in his first spring start at second base, he helped turn a 5-4-3 triple play to avoid a potentially big inning in what turned out to be a one-run game.
"EY got the throw off, off-balance," Weiss said of Young. "Very, very nice turn by EY."
Young takes it in stride, focusing on his role as a pivot man without getting caught up in counting outs around the bases.
"It was a tough turn," Young said. "I knew the runner [from first] was bearing in, because [third baseman Nolan Arenado] had to run to third, touch third, and then come across. But I just treated it like a regular double play. Catch it and make the turn. It's a cool play to be a part of."
It's been a couple years since Young played at third, but he is all about the preparation, and he's been taking grounders there every day for a year. That level of preparation helped him maintain his game at second, where he began his career before shifting to the outfield to find more opportunities to crack Colorado's lineup.
"I never lost confidence at second base," Young explained. "If I see my name there in the lineup, go play. If not, go play wherever my name is. This year, it's just any way I can get out there on the field. At this point I want the at-bat, no matter what position."
Before 2012, his career highlight may have been leading the Rockies in steals the previous year despite playing less than half the season. But after three seasons with scattered call-ups and a consistent average in the .240s, Young broke through in 2012, hitting .316 in 98 games -- all as an outfielder -- before an intercostal strain cut his season short.
Young hits the ground running in 2013, determined to maximize his chances and become a manager's best friend.
CarGo hitting for power to all fields
SCOTSDALE, Ariz. -- Two days before his departure for the World Baseball Classic, Carlos Gonzalez is showing "coast-to-coast" power, as manager Walt Weiss put it, hitting a deep double down the left-field line in his first at-bat Friday to score two runs, then launching a solo shot beyond the right-field fence to help the Rockies secure a 5-2 win.
"That's when you become a good hitter, when you use the whole field and you use it for power," Gonzalez said. "Today was a good day. Even when I struck out in my first at-bat, I was hitting the ball good. It was lefty-lefty."
There was no argument from Weiss, who already has Gonzalez in Saturday's lineup, his last day to play with the Rockies before joining Team Venezuela, potentially through the March 19 championship game in San Francisco.
"Home runs are always good," Weiss said.
Gonzalez is hitting .333 in four Cactus League games, with a .750 slugging percentage. Three of his four hits have gone for extra bases.
"I'm seeing the ball well," Gonzalez said. "Trying to recognize [pitches], because it's been a while since seeing pitches. So far it's been good. I feel healthy and strong. When I feel like that I can continue to work hard."
Gonzalez' influence on the team has never been stronger, and he shows no signs of tempering his team-first spirit, even when it comes at the cost of his own performance.
"As a player it's always tough when things are going bad," Gonzalez said, referring to last year's rough season for the Rockies. "Part of the reason is because you worry so much about your team. You put a lot of pressure on yourself, and you feel like you have to do more to make your team better to win ball games.
"It's about every single guy, not about one guy. One guy's not going to make the team better. That's when you need your teammates to do a great job. Obviously the young guys [on the Rockies roster] in the second half, they did a great job. But our team was just bad. We didn't win ball games. At the end of the day, that's what you want to do. I feel like I have a lot of responsibility on this team to do well and play well for everybody."
Rockies taking note of Chacin's big toe
SCOTSDALE, Ariz. -- Colorado's path to improvement is inextricably linked to improved health up and down its roster, but nowhere is it more important than in a pitching staff decimated by injuries in 2012. So when Jhoulys Chacin was bothered by a contusion to his left big toe during his first outing Tuesday against the Cubs, the Rockies took careful note.
Chacin originally suffered the contusion in the weight room, and was first bothered by it during fielding drills four days before his first appearance. He pitched so well Tuesday, throwing two perfect innings, that optimism is high regarding his arm. But with Chacin leaving after Saturday's scheduled start to pitch for Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, concern is giving optimism a run for its money.
"My priority is to keep that arm in shape right now, no matter what," said Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Dugger. "It's a wait-and-see type of thing. His bullpen was very good. His afterwards conditioning wasn't very good. It's only certain movements that hurt. He can't run up on his toes if he's going to cover the bag."
Chacin downplayed any concerns, maintaining confidence that he'll stay on track with the Rockies and be ready to compete in the World Baseball Classic.
"After I threw my bullpen, it was a little bit sore after, but I think it will be fine," Chacin said. "I don't think it's going to be a big deal."

Man accused in North Adams slaying fights DA's request for DNA
PITTSFIELD -- A North Adams man accused of murdering his elderly neighbor is fighting the state over whether he must provide a DNA sample.
The Berkshire District Attorney's Office wants David A. Delratez, 41, to submit to a cheek swabbing to allow for DNA comparison as part of the investigation into the murder of 84-year-old Ellen DePaoli in her North Adams home.
According to Second Assistant Berkshire District Attorney Robert W. Kinzer III, there were stains that tested pre-emptively positive for blood on one of Delratez's hands, on his clothes, in the Bennington, Vt., apartment he was found in, and in the victim's car, among other areas.
On Sept. 17, police discovered DePaoli's body inside her Walker Street home after they received a 911 call reporting her death. Police said she head been beaten and stabbed to death.
The investigation soon centered on Delratez, a friend of the woman's son and a frequent visitor to the DePaoli home, according to police.
Delratez was arrested two days later in Bennington, Vt. The victim's 2005 Ford Taurus sedan was located nearby by Vermont police.
The defendant denied killing the woman, telling police he was called over to the residence by a drug dealer he only knew as "Jim Jim" and another man and that DePaoli was already injured when he got there, according to investigators.
Delratez told police he was forced by the men to drive DePaoli's car to New York state. After going on a two-day drinking binge, he went to stay with a friend in Bennington, he allegedly told police.
Delratez's lawyer, Nathaniel K. Green, argued in Berkshire Superior Court on Thursday that the Berkshire District Attorney's Office hadn't met its burden in showing sufficient evidence that his client's DNA was needed to aid in the investigation.
Kinzer said this was a homicide case and that there was "sufficient evidence to compel a DNA sample."
Judge John A. Agostini is taking the motion under advisement.
There was no decision made as of Thursday afternoon, according to the clerk's office.
No trial date has been set but a status date was scheduled for Sept. 11.
Delratez remains held at the Berkshire County Jail & House of Correction without bail. He has denied charges of first-degree murder and larceny of a motor vehicle. He also has pleaded not guilty to unrelated charges of breaking and entering for a misdemeanor, malicious destruction of property under $250 and use of a motor vehicle without authority. Delratez allegedly broke into his ex-wife's Walker Street home and used her car without permission on Sept. 13.

Matheny experimenting with leadoff spot
By Adam Berry / MLB.com
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Cardinals manager Mike Matheny slotted Matt Carpenter in the leadoff spot for Friday's game against the Astros, a different look atop the order that the Cardinals could experiment with when the regular season rolls around.
Carpenter brings an obvious ability to get on base -- he posted a .365 on-base percentage in the Majors and a .409 OBP in the Minors last season -- for a team that doesn't have many leadoff options outside of center fielder Jon Jay, who batted second Friday.
"I just think that's something that could potentially come up during the season," Matheny said, adding that he'd like to put players in situations they could encounter during the regular season so it's not "foreign" to them at that point.
Matheny said Jay could be an interesting option as a No. 2 hitter given his speed and his ability to move runners over, pointing to the number of times Rafael Furcal would get on base, take second on a bunt from Jay and quickly score.
"Next thing you know, we're sitting 1-nothing in the first. It happened a lot in the beginning of the season, and that was a pretty good recipe for success when you could hit them right in the first," Matheny said. "But Jon also plays the game. He knows how to get guys over, and he takes a lot of pride in that. But in general, I think he could bat anywhere in our order, whether it be first or anywhere else."
Matheny attributed Jay's struggles at the plate this spring -- he is hitting just .208 -- to shifts in Jay's mechanics. Matheny said Jay has been trying to shorten his swing somewhat, and that's been Jay's focus more so than putting up strong Spring Training numbers.
"That's usually a bad way to go about getting results, but we're not so much focused on results as much as the things we need to work on," Matheny said. "This [lineup] isn't necessarily a knock on him as much as just getting Carpenter to that first spot to see how it works."
Garcia works on sequencing, delivery in strong outing
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- In Spring Training, you usually only hear about a pitcher "working on things" after an outing that yielded poor results. That was not the case for Cardinals left-hander Jaime Garcia on Friday, according to manager Mike Matheny.
Making his second-to-last outing before the regular season, Garcia struck out five Astros over six innings and gave up two runs on four hits, a walk and a wild pitch. The lefty said he felt strong enough to keep pitching, and the only thing he needs to do in his final Grapefruit League outing is continue to build up strength.
And yes, he was actually working on his delivery and his pitch sequencing during Friday's game.
"Phenomenal," Matheny said. "He just had a real good tempo to him. He was actually working on a couple things, too. You use that as a great excuse when guys may not have the results, but it was nice to see the results and being able to work on being a little quicker to the plate with guys on base and using some of his different pitches in different counts. It was well executed."
Garcia said catcher Tony Cruz called a strong game, and Matheny agreed that the two seem to have developed a good working relationship this spring -- something that could become a factor in determining when to rest Yadier Molina during the regular season.
"I would give Tony some credit for being creative in how to use his stuff, because you didn't see a lot of shaking going on out there," Matheny said. "They've got a nice little thing working right now. But he had to execute his pitches, and he did a nice job of that."
"I feel really comfortable where I'm at right now," added Garcia. "I'm right where I need to be at this point of the spring."
Beltran's right toe still hampering his game
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Carlos Beltran hurt his right toe just before leaving for the World Baseball Classic, but a few weeks away from the Cardinals wasn't enough time for that injury to heal.
Beltran said his right pinkie toe, which was hit by a pitch, was better, but still swollen, when he reported back to Cardinals camp on Friday. But it hampered him in the outfield and at the plate during the Classic, and he will have to monitor how he feels over the final weeks of Spring Training.
Beltran said he only felt good in the outfield for about five innings before his foot tightened up, relegating him to mostly designated hitter duty for Puerto Rico. And the ailing toe affected his swing from the right side, when he would have to turn on his right foot.
"But it is what it is," Beltran said. "Whatever I was going to do there, I was going to do here."
Beltran went through a workout back in Jupiter, Fla., on Friday but should return to St. Louis' starting lineup on Saturday at Roger Dean Stadium.
Asked about playing the outfield during the spring, Beltran responded, "We'll see how that goes."
Manager Mike Matheny was also somewhat cautious, but expected Beltran to give it a shot.
"We'll see when he shows up tomorrow what it looks like," Matheny said, "but he knows that if at all possible, he's going to be there."
Wigginton plays in Minors game for extra at-bats
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Manager Mike Matheny almost opted to bring Ty Wigginton to Osceola County Stadium with the Cardinals. But Matheny decided what the struggling infielder really needed Friday was some at-bats -- as many as possible, in fact.
Matheny instructed the 35-year-old veteran, who's batting just .100 this spring and hasn't recorded a Grapefruit League hit since March 7, to stay at the Cardinals' Spring Training complex and get plenty of at-bats -- perhaps one an inning -- in a Minor League game.
"He's going to stay there and get as many at-bats as he wants, however he wants to do it," Matheny said.
Wigginton's plate appearances have been few and far between in Grapefruit League play lately for a few reasons: the return of Allen Craig and David Freese and the phasing out of the designated hitter as the regular season approaches.
Wigginton only made one trip to the plate this week, on Thursday, and it turned into a double play. It's been that kind of spring for him.
"He's had some good at-bats where he's hit the ball hard, just not the results," Matheny said. "That wears on anybody -- I don't care how many springs you've been through -- if you just don't see the hits falling in, especially a guy on a new team who wants to make an impression."
Worth noting
• Manager Mike Matheny said before the game that he wanted to see how lefty Marc Rzepczynski fared Friday after pitching "as good as he's thrown since I've been around" on Saturday, then not as well on Monday. And Rzepczynski answered the call, throwing a perfect seventh inning with two strikeouts.
"I don't think you can ask for any better than that," Matheny said.
• Daniel Descalso appeared to have hit his third homer of the spring in the second inning against the Astros on Friday, lining a ball down the left-field line and over the fence. He trotted around the bases and into the Cardinals' dugout at Osceola County Stadium, only to have the umpires convene, overrule the initial call and declare it a foul ball. Matheny argued the change briefly before returning to the dugout.

Former NFL great Herschel Walker makes his second pro-MMA appearance as part of December's "Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu" event.
His debut, which came in a January TKO win over Greg Nagy at "Strikeforce: Miami," brought the organization massive amounts of mainstream publicity and some of the year's biggest Showtime ratings.
But in our latest MMAjunkie.com/"Inside MMA" poll, we wanted to know how fans feel about his involvement in the sport.
The results were tallied for Friday's new episode of the weekly HDNet MMA news show, and though few believe Walker has earned his main-card billings, nearly seven out of 10 respondents see the 48-year-old as a positive force in MMA.
Overall, 10 percent of voters agreed with the statement that Walker "has proven worthy of his main-card bookings." Another 61 percent said he hasn't earned his TV spots but that the publicity he brings MMA ultimately is good for the sport.
That leaves 29 percent who agreed with the statement that the promotional push behind Walker sets a bad precedent of "marketability over talent."
So who has it right? Should Walker get co-main-event slots since his celebrity helps the sport grow, or should Strikeforce force the longtime taekwondo enthusiast to earn his TV slots like other fighters?
State your case in the comments section below.
Additionally, don't forget to vote in this week's new poll on the MMAjunkie.com homepage. We want to know which fighter should be the world's No. 1 ranked heavyweight.
And for more on "Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu," stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.
HDNet's "Inside MMA" and MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) run a weekly poll thanks to a partnership between the two news outlet. Catch new episodes of "Inside MMA" on Fridays at 9 p.m. ET. For more information on "Inside MMA" and HDNet Fights,

MONTREAL — Ronda Rousey usually is the one doing the arm twisting. Did someone beat her at her own game to get her to finally comment on her job status?
"Okay I admit it ... I'm officially a UFC fighter," Rousey wrote on Twitter on Friday afternoon, after more than a week of steering clear of the subject of a TMZ.com report that she had become the first female fighter in the promotion's history. "So excited! Can't wait to debut! Let Dana White know who you want my first opponent to be!"
There'd been no arm twisting involved, actually, but White had beaten Rousey to the punch, so to speak. Earlier in the day he went on Jim Rome's nationally syndicated radio program and confirmed what he, too, had been uncharacteristically silent about ever since the groundbreaking story broke. "Yes, it's official," he said in answer to Rome's question about the TMZ report, which had been confirmed by other media outlets, but all citing anonymous sources. "Ronda Rousey did sign with the UFC."
This official confirmation didn't create much of a buzz at New Gas City, the cavernous downtown Montreal nightclub that was the venue for Friday's UFC 154 weigh-ins. The place was packed and noisy, just as the UFC likes it, and what the fans saw was uneventful, with every fighter on the card making weight -- also just as the UFC likes it. Georges St-Pierre, who defends his welterweight championship for the first time in 19 months in Saturday night's main event, got a hero's welcome in the city where he lives and trains. His opponent, interim champ Carlos Condit, received polite applause. The Rousey news, so widely considered a fait accompli after last week's report, was not the least bit of a distraction.
Still, listening to the Rome show, it was cool to hear White make a public endorsement of women's MMA, something he had said as recently as a year ago would never be a part of the UFC. It's not too difficult to understand why Dana would have had a change of heart if you've ever seen Rousey fight.
"I tell you, this girl is nasty," he told Rome. "She might be beautiful on the outside. She's a Diaz brother on the inside. She's a real fighter. She's very talented. She has the credentials, the pedigree, I mean, everything."
Everything? Dana was referring to more than Rousey's Olympic bronze medal in judo, her Strikeforce women's bantamweight championship and her 6-0 professional record, with every win by that unstoppable armbar, all but one in the very first minute. The UFC president is looking beyond all of that. "I think she has that 'it' factor," he said. "I think she's going to be a big superstar."
Whether that happens falls as much on him and his promotional team, of course, as it does on the fighter. But so far Rousey and the UFC have been a marketable match, with "Rowdy Ronda" appearing everywhere from the cover of the ESPN the Magazine "Body Issue" to the Sports Illustrated TV magazine show on NBC Network.
The ultimate test, however, will come not on the newsstand, the TV screen or the Madison Avenue boardroom. It'll come in the cage. No one has yet posed a threat to Rousey, and for the 25-year-old's star to continue to rise she's going to need to overcome some viable challenges. Cris "Cyborg" Santos, long the indomitable force in the women's fight game, will be Rousey's most treacherous hurdle once the Brazilian finishes her steroid suspension. Then the two fighters' camps can get past their silly squabble over how to bridge the weight-class gap between the 145-pound Cyborg and Rousey, who began her career at 145 but now is champion among women 10 pounds lighter.
White offered no hint on when we'll see a Rousey vs. Cyborg matchup. But he did insist that Rousey's challenges will not end there. "She's got four or five good fights," he said during his radio appearance. "The next two years, we've got really good opponents for her, and it's going to be interesting."
It's already interesting, considering that White's dismissal of women's MMA all along was centered on his insistence that there were not enough top-level women to fill a division. Rousey's "four or five good fights" sounds like a UFC women's division in the making.

Subway stop possible for Manchester
The Design and Development Review Boards are expected to discuss an application for a Subway restaurant franchise at their meeting on Nov. 28. At the request of Rize Properties, who submitted an application for a proposed Subway restaurant to be located at 210 Depot Street, the former Real Sports and Video 1 location, the discussion of the proposal was postponed from the Nov. 14 DRB meeting to the next DRB meeting on Nov. 28.
"All I can tell you right now is that we have requested the DRB hearing to be postponed until a later date pending negotiations between Subway and the landlord Herb Donner of Rize Properties," said Chris Cole, property manager.
Along with the Subway restaurant application discussion, the Sirloin Saloon property discussion was also postponed until the Nov. 28 DRB meeting. Dorset Development LLC must first receive an Act 250 permit and have their plans for a new building approved by the DRB in order to demolish the current Sirloin Saloon property.
This proposed Subway restaurant has caused a stir around the local community on whether this is the right choice for the town to adopt. In a letter submitted to the DRB on Nov. 14, Melanie Allen, Manchester resident and owner of The Gourmet Deli Cafe, raised her concerns.
"As both a local restaurant owner and resident of the Town of Manchester, I have reservations about the fit and look of a Subway restaurant located in the heart of our beautiful, quaint town," she stated. "With the near-completion of the roundabout project, by the way, which is an upgrade to the center of town, but Subway restaurant certainly is not an upgrade, in my eyes and surely many others as well. Not to mention what it would do financially to us local restaurants."
Allen is not alone. Others are reserved on the idea as well.
"I just don't like it," said Susan Debus, a current resident of Danby who grew up in Manchester. "I think that Manchester is small and unique and it is different from other towns. Now, when they start adding fast-food restaurants and chain stores it just seems to cheapen the whole atmosphere." The location of the proposed Subway restaurant would place it in between the popular Bagel Works Cafe and McDonald's.
Charlotte Diotte, administrative director of The Works Bakery Cafe, or Bagel Works, said that Bagel works has no comment at this time.
According to the application submitted to the DRB, the Subway, if approved and constructed, would be serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with hours of operation being from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. They will offer fresh baked gourmet bread daily along with fresh chopped and prepared to order salads.

Jackson and Kristen are missing.ReplyDelete
Oh I'm loving this idea. What a scandal that would be in the Twi-world! Love it.
On the other hand, maybe she's just growing out the mullet and needs privacy.
Or maybe Angarano's also in town.
Conspiracy theories. So exciting.
She was at dinner with her brother and mom who is in town to see her.ReplyDelete
Well Sandy Lainey said that her brother went to eat Tai food and she wasn't there either...she's definitely hiding which is good because she needs her privacy but staying in a hotel is not going to stop the rumors about Robsten!ReplyDelete

i'll expect to see her starring in the simpsons soon :)
Yeah, Nikki's skin is reminiscent of an oompa loompa's skin lol!ReplyDelete
Who cares if Kristen wasn't with them! They are not all joined at the hip you know! Maybe she's just tired and wants some privacy, ya know? ... who knows...........

I am also wondering where Kristen was. However, there could be a multitude of reasons why she was not there that 1. dinner with her family. 2. maybe Summit entertainment wants her to keep a low profile. 3. Maybe she was shooting a scene with the human kids...in the book there's scene where writes invitations with Angela. 4. Maybe she just was just tired and decided to stay at the hotel... none of the reasons having to do with the Robsten frenzy.ReplyDelete

Who's on PS3?
I just played my first 2K game ever, and trounced the Gacers by a comfortable 19. Funnily enough, STAT was my go to scorer! He had 11 boards and 4 blocks to go with 27 points. An omen!?
I had no idea how detailed everything was going to be. I must have paused the game 30-40 times to look up what to do offensively.
You can really see the differences in capabilities on there. Kidd's passing is far and away better than anyone else's out there, and Chandler's defensive reactions were unmatched by anyone.
I'm loving reviving the PS3!
The gameplay has been great for the most part... but when I tried to play as the cheat it was too damn easy. Even in hall of fame mode. You can just literally force your way to a dunk 90% of the time.

^ Me too knicksman20
Theres still some similarities the original NBA2K, its stayed true to its core mostly improving the graphics more then anything else. As soon as it first dropped it was instantly the most realistic basketball game i had ever played and every year its gotten a little better.
I finally won a game tonight, im playing every team from least to best. I beat the Magic and im playing on all-star
Felton had 17 assists for me
I don't shoot a lot of 3s, and have gotten used to using "L2" + right stick combinations to shoot. Melo is beastly! I shoot a lot of turn around jumpers with him on the block. STAT's not bad, but can only hit a face up really.
I'm having little luck with Chandler. Doesn't rebound particularly well or block shots.
My preferred line up is:
That defensive back court f*cks sh*t up out there, and they get out on the break and both can sky. I post up Melo all the time and run the Horn play using Melo as the receiver more often than anything else. I also post up STAT, but he has a tendency to shoot too many hooks. They're reliable, but they don't fit his true game, which is a shame because he needs a reliable back down hook like a rapist needs roofees.
I have it for 360 and all star mode is the 3rd toughest out of 5 levels of difficulty my version. Thats what i played 2k11 on and when i got this game i just said f*ck it, im gonna try to pick up where i left off. It took a little time but I've now beaten the 5 worst teams on the game including Houston. It took me 3 tries to do it and a game winning 3 pointer from Carmelo. I owe Melo for life now, even if he plays bad ill never say anything bad about him again. 34pts 5rbs and 5asts. I also got 21 from Stat and 20 from JR Smith. Shump was big too, he got me 12 pts and 10 asts. Lin only had 10 points this time
Im having a tough time with Chandler too, Cambys outplaying him. I did have one big game with Chandler though, I gotta look for him under the rim more. I think it helps if u can pound it inside early and get Stat and chandler going. At least it did on 2k11 for me, not so far on this game.
I actually dont use Brewer that much, i just recently started using Shump at point guard a little more. I go with...
Felton Kidd Shumpert
Shump JR
Carmelo Shumpert
Stat and Novak
Chandler and Camby
When i play better offensive teams ill probably use Brewer now but aside from the 5 worst teams the only other team i played was the Nets when i first got the game. Oh, and i play with 10 minute quarters. It takes me an hour to play a game. If I was playing top 10 teams i would probably get raped. With these 2K games they're so realistic. You get better the more u play, I finally got good with JR Smith on 2k11 shortly before 2k13 came out and I've been using him since we signed him. The ally oops on this game are real nice, they get me up out of my seat
my player mode freezes up on me, It's happening mostly to people who have the 4GB Xbox, you need to have a HDD drive for some reason. Even if you use a large capacity USB drive and install the game it won't work.
I'ma just play regular games and gaining VC coins/points to use on MyPlayer for when this issue is fixed.
toonz242 hit up the bahamian baller. ill be on tonight around 7
I am hooked to MyCAREER mode. I play as a point guard. I was drafted by the celtics(yikes) then I demanded a trade to the knicks. And after a long wait as being the 6th man, i finally took kidd's place as the starting pg.
And man oh man, do I dish a lot. I broke dohun's record which was 22 assists for the knicks with a 24 assists game.
I am loving this mode

- Butternut Squash Ravioli Recipe
To make the filling, preheat an oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prick the 1-lb. (500-g) piece of squash several times with a fork and place it on a baking sheet.
Roast in the oven until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 45 to 50 minutes. Set aside to cool.
While the squash is cooking, in a small sauté pan over medium heat, warm 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Add the shallots and sauté until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a food processor, combine the pepitas and walnuts and pulse until finely chopped. Add the shallots, egg yolk, cheese, lemon zest, nutmeg and a large pinch each of salt and pepper.
When the piece of roasted squash is cool enough to handle, scrape the flesh from the peel into the food processor with the egg yolk and cheese mixture. Process until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until completely cool, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Divide the pasta dough in half. Using a pasta machine or a floured rolling pin, roll out one of the dough halves about 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) thick. Using a knife, lightly mark the dough into 1 1/2-inch (4-cm) squares. Place 1 tsp. filling in the center of each square. Roll out the remaining dough in a rectangle of the same size and place it over the filling. Lightly press down around each mound of the filling to seal the ravioli. Using a pastry wheel or knife, cut around each mound of filling to make 1 1/2-inch (4-cm) squares. Crimp the edges to seal. (The ravioli can be made up to 2 hours in advance. Place in a single layer on a floured kitchen towel, dust the tops with flour and cover with another towel.)
When ready to serve, in a sauté pan over medium heat, warm the remaining 2 Tbs. olive oil. Add the sliced squash and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the butter until melted, stirring constantly. When the butter is hot, add the sage leaves and cook until crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the leaves to a paper towel–lined plate. Continue cooking the butter, stirring constantly, until all of the milk solids turn golden and the butter has a nutty fragrance. Be careful not to let the butter burn. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
Bring a large pot three-fourths full of salted water to a boil. Gently drop half of the ravioli into the boiling water and cover the pot. When the water returns to a boil, uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes. To test for doneness, transfer a single raviolo to a cutting board and cut off a corner with a paring knife; if the pasta looks cooked through and the corner is tender, the pasta is done. Using a skimmer or slotted spoon, transfer the ravioli to a serving dish. Repeat to cook the remaining ravioli.
Drizzle the brown butter over the ravioli, then sprinkle evenly with the sage leaves and butternut squash slices. Garnish with pepitas and serve immediately, passing more cheese alongside. Serves 6.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Caruss3 from Feeling special I received my all clad 15 piece set last week, thank you WS for making my purchase priority shipping. I used my set right away, followed directions on how to heat up pans first and how wonderful, no food stuck to the pans. I feel like a grown up cook now and found new confidence to try intricate receipts. I love my new all clad stainless steel cookware.Date published: 2017-03-22Rated 5 out of 5 by MamaB5 from By Far the Best! I am thrilled with the quality, functionality and beauty of this set. They are a bit heavier. The d5 is a terrific investment for my kitchen. The pots & pans brown & simmer evenly on a very low setting. I am so happy and impressed with this set, it has every piece I need. I would re-buy again. When my children are ready for their first set of cookware, I will be purchasing these as I know they will have the best for a lifetime.Date published: 2017-02-01Rated 5 out of 5 by SharonTed from True Quality This is my first experience with true quality cookware and I couldn't be happier. This cookware is not only beautiful but it lives up to it's reputation in every way. I love the even cooking (no hot spots) and how quickly it comes to temperature. Clean-up is simple when you use the product recommendation in your cookware brochure. Read the directions so you understand how to properly use and clean this cookware. You don't want to ruin it by not understanding how it is intended to be used. Made in the good ol' USA - even better!Date published: 2016-01-07Rated 5 out of 5 by sambamom from No Regrets I have been using my All-Clad d5 set for over a year now. I bought this set in anticipation of getting an induction range when my glass-top JennAir died. That finally happened and I can say that this cookware performs great on both types of cooktops! The cookware is beautiful to the eye. It has a pleasing substantial weight that helps it work well with induction, but I don't think it is too heavy and I have arthritis. It cleans easily. I use a little Bar Keepers Friend to remove cooking residues after each use. There is minimal scratching, but that is the nature of stainless; it develops a patina with use. That does not affect the performance. All-Clad d5 is a pleasure to own and use.Date published: 2015-08-23Rated 1 out of 5 by John1971 from Buyer Beware - The Guarantee is no good Buyer Beware I have had a 5-D Steamer pot for about 5 years and really liked it until I accidentally dropped the lid from about 4 feet above the floor and it bent into a crescent. It had been in the oven for 16 minutes at 350 degrees when it dropped but I was still shocked to see that it bent so much. I thought my All-Clad was guaranteed but it turns out that if you drop the lid it is not covered. Pretty shocking. I will never buy All-Clad again.Date published: 2015-03-20Rated 5 out of 5 by scootergirl72 from A wonderful investment Many years ago I purchased the All-Clad measuring cups and spoons (an avid baker at the time) and loved the material and weight in your hand. A few years later I purchased the lasagna pan. Heavenly. Recently I purchased this set and was like a little girl on Christmas morning opening the box and taking out each piece. This set replaced 2 sets of cookware (my husbands and mine from before we were married) and I couldn't be happier with it. Some reviewers indicate the heft of the pieces is too much but I love the weight and even heating of each piece. The saucepan might be my favorite. If you love to cook, you won't go wrong with this quality cookware. I sure didn't.Date published: 2014-05-17Rated 5 out of 5 by Tuli from Great All-Clad Cookware Set All-Clad lives up to it's reputation! This is a wonderful set. Very well made and heavy in feel which makes for excellent heat absorption. A bit expensive.Date published: 2013-09-23Rated 5 out of 5 by MaineJill from Love my All-Clad Clean up is a dream! Hubby and I bought a 4 qt Essential pan first to try the All-Clad out and really liked it. Tried cooking many types of food in it and found we liked it so well that we definitely wanted more. So far we are loving our 15 piece set. I am anxiously awaiting the lasagna pan that we will be receiving as a free gift for our purchase. Hope I like the baking pan as well as the pots.Date published: 2013-03-07

today I bought(off CL) a 128 la Vencedora. It has a motor with the knee pedal, beautiful decals, destroyed wiring... so should I repair the motor and wires, and keep it electric? or should I convert it to hand-crank? and if I convert it, will one of my 66's hand cranks work? sorry about the crappy cell-phone pics.
It runs smoothly but is not gliding, if you know what I mean. Per the seller has been in storage for 15 years at least. Serial number puts it just before the depression- April 1929. So I will of course be lubing, oiling, and learning all about long bobbins. Any other advice? how do you open the side compartment?

Digital research www.pewinternet.org
A survey of advanced placement and National Writing Project teachers finds that 77 percent of them feel that the Internet and digital search tools have had a mostly positive effect on students' research efforts, but at the same time 87 percent of them feel that these same technologies are making their students easily distracted and shortening their attention spans. Overall, 64 percent of the teachers surveyed felt that the technologies "do more to distract students than to help them academically." Additionally, 60 percent of the teachers surveyed for the Pew Research Center's How Teens Do Research in the Digital World felt that modern technologies actually make it harder for their students to find credible resources.
ELL and Common Core www.all4ed.org
It is estimated that by 2020, English language learners (ELLs) could comprise more than half of all school-age children. Results of the 2011 12th-grade NAEP reading assessment show that 77 percent of ELLs performed below the basic level, and only 3 percent of ELLs tested as proficient or better. A report from the Alliance for Excellent Education, The Role of Language and Literacy in College- and Career-Ready Standards, says that historically language arts programs for ELLs focused on grammar and correctness, rather than collaboration, critical thinking, and the understanding and communication of ideas, which are stressed in the new standards for language arts. The report lists 10 key strategies ELL teachers can use to help their students meet the new standards, and discusses current reform efforts such as Formative Language Assessment Records for English Language Learners.
Implementing the Common Core http://educore.ascd.org
A report from ASCD, Fulfilling the Promise of the Common Core State Standards, says that the 2012-13 school year is a pivotal time as teachers across America begin to integrate the new Common Core State Standards into their classrooms. The report recommends that schools set nine priorities to ease their implementation: 1) adopt technology to meet teaching and learning needs that will work with new assessments; 2) use professional learning to maximize collaboration and capacity building; 3) have principals serve as instructional leaders; 4) meet educators' professional learning needs; 5) find higher-education partners; 6) plan for coming assessments; 7) ensure instructional resources are of high quality and align with the standards; 8) make sure teachers understand the standards and how their instruction methods must change to accommodate them; and 9) align initiatives into comprehensive reforms.
Shaping up American kids www.aahperd.org
Shape of the Nation, a report from the National Association for Sport and Physical Education and the American Heart Association, says that most American kids under 18 spend most of their days sitting in classrooms, watching television, surfing the Internet, and playing video games, and do not come close to participating in regular physical exercise -- an hour or more of exercise per day, every day. The report says that a required daily physical education period at school would ensure that kids would get at least a portion of the physical activity recommended for them, as would unstructured play at recess.
