Arizona too 'great' for Ducks
Oregon offense unravels often in loss to Wildcats
TUCSON, Ariz. Arizona played a great game in beating Oregon 42-16 on Saturday.
Ka'Deem Carey rushed for 206 yards and four scores on 48 carries.
Quarterback B.J. Denker made plays with his feet (102 yards rushing) and arm (19 of 22 for 178 yards and two TDs).
And the Arizona defense took advantage of three Oregon turnovers as it held down the Ducks' offense.
But, the overwhelming thing that came from Saturday's game?
Take away the 2008 rain-soaked game at Cal, and the Ducks had not lost to a non-upper echelon team since 2007 and even then, the Ducks lost to Arizona, UCLA and Oregon State after its top two quarterbacks went down injured.
The Wildcats entered Saturday's game at 6-4 overall and 3-4 in Pac-12 play, having lost consecutive games to UCLA and Washington State.
In recent years, the Ducks would rout teams, or at least win convincingly, in the same situation.
But that didn't happen Saturday. Much like the Stanford game, where the Ducks trailed 26-0 at one point and the score could have been worse, Oregon (9-2, 6-2 Pac-12) got outclassed at Arizona Stadium.
Not much went right for the Ducks.
First of all, the Wildcats controlled the Duck defense throughout the game with the elusive Denker and his short passes and Carey's strong running and offensive line play. Arizona rushed for 304 yards on 65 carries, and had the ball for 35:29 to UO's 24:31. The Wildcats were 11 of 16 on third-down conversions and 6 for 6 in red-zone opportunities.
Carey became Arizona's all-time leading rusher and all-time touchdown maker, with 49 in his career.
"We knew that offense was pretty much our offense," defensive end Taylor Hart said, of Arizona's fast pace and balance. "And, they executed really well with their run and pass. Even if we stopped the run, (Denker) would pull the ball or pass it. It was tough for us.
"We were finally able to stop them," Hart added, of a stretch of four defensive stops in five UA possessions, "but then to not get points makes it difficult. It seemed like things weren't working out."
Said defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti: "They beat us at the line of scrimmage, and Carey and the quarterback were fantastic."
But, offensively, the Ducks unraveled. Oregon had 506 yards, but only 198 came on the ground the Ducks couldn't control the game with their rushing attack. Running back Byron Marshall exited the game with a first-half foot injury. Thomas Tyner fumbled in a key stretch. De'Anthony Thomas had his moments with 83 yards on 16 carries and also had six catches for 74 yards.
Quarterback Marcus Mariota said he felt better, although he continued to not want to talk about his injured knee. He went 27 of 41 for 308 yards and two scores, but threw his first two interceptions of the year including a pick on UO's first offensive play, ending his Pac-12-record streak of 353 consecutive passes without an interception. He also ran for 52 yards on eight carries.
Offensive mistakes prevented the Ducks from staying close. They started with Mariota's interception, when Arizona's Shaquille Richardson batted a ball that had bounced off Oregon's Bralon Addison to the Wildcats' Scooby Wright. On the next series, Thomas dropped a wide-open third-down pass, and later explained, inexplicably: "It was a surprise ball. I feel like I made up for it fast (with a one-handed grab). You just have to forget about it."
Marshall suffered his injury on what appeared to be a 5-yard run to the UA 1. But a replay said he had gone down at the UA 6. Then, right end Pharaoh Brown got a holding penalty. The Ducks scored only three points on that drive.
Tyner, bursting out on an 8-yard run, got stripped from behind by Tra'Mayne Bondurant and turned over the ball.
On the next series, on fourth-and-2, Mariota fumbled on a carry. The Ducks recovered but short of the first down. The Wildcats then scored another touchdown on a one-minute drive to go ahead 28-9 at halftime.
The Ducks had rallied, offensively, in the second half of other games. But not Saturday.
Oregon failed on a fourth-down conversion and punted (after a minus-12-yard run by Thomas) on its first two possessions of the second half, and Arizona scored again to go up 35-9.
There were other mistakes, penalties and such. The Ducks of the 8-0 start were a distant memory at Arizona Stadium.
All in all, Arizona was the better team, and the Ducks will not be going to their fifth consecutive BCS game.
Thomas and Josh Huff had remarked during the week about the Rose Bowl not being the goal, even after the USC win against Stanford that put the Ducks back atop the Pac-12 North.
The remarks came back to bite them in the butt Thomas said playing for the Rose wasn't a big deal, but after Saturday's game said, "I don't feel like (the comment) should have that much attention. I feel like people just try to flip stories and stuff like that. That stuff is in the past. We worry about the moment."
Clearly, the Ducks are struggling as the prepare for the Civil War game against Oregon State, 4 p.m. Friday at Autzen Stadium.
Huff admitted that the Ducks came out flat against the Wildcats; Helfrich said the team had some bad mind-set moments on Friday, but he felt the squad had gathered itself for the game.
"How we started, very sluggish in every phase, that's 100 percent my fault," Helfrich said. "Coulda, woulda, shoulda there were several of those (plays) today."
Asked about his emotions, the first-year head man said: "Not very happy. It's a very frustrating thing."
Later, after giving Arizona much credit, he added: "We're a team, that if (we) get beat, they rush the field. Whoever we play is 100 percent dialed in to get that job done. They did a great job of it."
Mariota got hit in the head while making a tackle after his second interception in the fourth quarter. He said he was "all right," but didn't know the exact prognosis. A concussion, perhaps?
Mariota said he thought the Ducks "were in a good spot" mentally for the game.
He added: "I felt pretty good. Things happen. The ball doesn't bounce your way sometimes. You just gotta battle through it. Arizona did a good job of pushing it, keeping (momentum) going. We're going to work on things we messed up."
It was an interesting day for Arizona (7-4, 4-4 Pac-12). The weather wasn't good leading up to the game, as rain soaked the field and kept many fans away. Would the Wildcats be motivated to play the high-powered Ducks, after consecutive losses to UCLA and Washington State?
Well, the day turned out pretty well. The weather cleared up, more fans gathered in the stands (announced crowd: 45,777), and Denker and Carey and their teammates played really well on Senior Day. Fans rushed the field to celebrate with the Wildcats, who now prepare to play rival Arizona State.
"Well, that was fun," second-year UA coach Rich Rodriguez said. "It was a great way for our seniors to go out. We executed well, and we tried to make them earn everything. B.J. was sharp and Ka'Deem was Ka'Deem. This was a great opportunity, and we took advantage of it. We were really dialed in the whole game."
Said Denker: "It's a great feeling. This is a crazy win for our program. Everything went right. I don't think I've played a better-feeling game."
Added Carey: "I knew we needed energy when you play a great team like them. I ran hard and with a passion today to help get the crowd in the game."
Safety Jake Fischer summed up Arizona's reaction to the win, UA's first in the series since 2007.
"I'm glad that we could finally beat Oregon," he said. "It feels great."

"Junior Dos Santos is IN the octagon."
"They can see that Mike."
"I bet on this fine young man every fight, how do you think I'm so rich?"
"Junior Dos Santos is Brazilian."
"Junior is a scary scary man!"
Junior "Cigano" Dos Santos will fucking knock your stupid ass out, all in the name of his country Brazil. What? Got a problem with that? Too fucking bad brah, guns are scared of this guy because they don't want to be knocked out either. What's this? A Chuck Norris comparison? PFFT! The difference is Junior gets payed to flat line people, not to act like it. Bam, I just did that. Now sit and learn of the future of Mixed Martial Arts, his name is Junior Dos Santos.He is AKA JDS for Just Dominated Assholes

- 3.9 Junior Dos Santos .vs. Frank Mir
He was born in Brazil, like all Brazilians he was born with the natural talent to fight, so he put that to use. He started kickboxing, he racked up an 18-0 kickboxing record then realized that this shit was too easy. So he stepped his game up to Vale Tudo fighting (a.k.a MMA, a.k.a UFC for those retards that think UFC is MMA, if you did go kill yourself now or Junior will have to kill you. You don't want that, do you? You don't.
Editors note: There are various cultures throughout the world (Some, such as the Aztecs are virtually extinct) that worship Junior Dos Santos as a god. There are at least 4 indigenous tribes of the Amazon that refer to him as Aaxnichos, which is literally translated as "The one who shatters face".
Sources: "Exploration of the Valley of the Amazon" by William Lewis Herndon, "The Canela: Kinship, Ritual and Sex in an Amazonian Tribe" (Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology) by William H. Crocker
This great fighter is constantly being passed up for title shots because according to Dana "Skinhead" White, "He doesn't bring in enough fucking pay-per-view buys mother fuckers! I'm in it for the money! Not the fighters! Ha! FUCK! SHIT! COCK!" (Please take note on how Dana White swears a lot).
Mixed Martial Arts record[edit]
Official record from www.brazil.lib.in.us/
- Wins - 324
Death - 32
Submission - 4
Decision - 0

Cigano cannot lose.
Junior Dos Santos .vs. Fabricio Werdum[edit]
This was Junior's debut fight in the big leagues, Dana the cock head white was giving Werdum a rebound fight (even though he was on a 3 fight win streak.) Guess what? Junior knocked this fucker out with a brutal uppercut then knocked Dana White out. Dana White was so scared he gave Junior a contract at the expense of not being knocked out again. Junior knocked Werdum out so hard that Dana White cut Werdum, though many argue that Junior knocked some sense into Werdum as he went off to submit the best fighter of all fucking time, Gaydor Emelia-fucking-nenko bitches.
Junior Dos Santos .vs. Stefan Struve[edit]
Dana White wanted to get rid of Cigano AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, so he brought out 6 foot 11 bean stock boy, also known as Stefan Struve. Dana was wrong again, as Cigano made a fool of this poor child via brutal Knock out.
Junior Dos Santos .vs. Mirko Cro Cop[edit]
Dana White needed to stop this Brazilian, there were WAY too many in MMA so he needed someone to stop him. So he got Croatia Kickboxing and MMA legend Mirko Cro Cop to fight the young inexperienced Junior Dos Santos. WELL GUESS THE FUCK WHAT!!!?? Junior Dos Santos was so quick and brutal toward Mirko during the fight that he made Mirko QUIT, QUIT. This young child made a legend QUIT. FUCK YEAH, what now Dana White?!
Junior Dos Santos .vs. Gilbert Yvel[edit]
Dana White kept thinking that European Kickboxers can hang with Brazilian Vale Tudo fighters, so he signed a Holland kickboxer named Gilbert Yvel, he was widely known for randomly knocking out refs at will (Dana White prayed that the Referee Steve Mazagatti was in the cage when Gilbert got pissed.) BUT GUESS THE FUCK WHAT TIMES TWO MOTHER FUCKER??!! Junior Dos Santos knocked Gilbert the FUCK OUT!
Junior Dos Santos .vs. Gabriel Gonzaga[edit]
Dana White figured that if European fighters couldn't finish this guy, another Brazilian could. So he brought out ManBearPig, no wait... That's just Gabriel Gonzaga who doesn't shave his fucking chest. Long Story short, Gonzaga was knocked out by Junior Dos Santos. Did he get a title shot? No. Instead an American named Cain Velasquez did. he is now in the running for top contender in the heavweight division.
Junior Dos Santos .vs. Roy "Fat ass" Nelson[edit]
Dana needed to stop this crazy Brazilian for he could no longer keep his name away from the Heavy Weight title, so he told Roy Nelson that Dos Santos was a cheeseburger. Dos Santos tried to knock this fat guy out but the man's fat cushioned everything. Junior won with all three judges scoring it 30-26, which if you don't know what that means I'll tell ya'. It means that Junior beat this fat ass so hard that the judges actually took points away from Nelson for getting his ass kicked so hard. Now Cigano won his title shot finally, and seeing as Cain "Brown Pride" Velasquez easily dispatched Brock "Penis on My Chest" Lesnar, he'll be fighting Cain.
Junior dos Santos .vs. Shane Carwin[edit]
However Velasquez injured his shoulder in a low rider accident or something. Junior instead decided to coach on The Ultimate Dickhead season 13 meaning he would have to fight Brock "Penis Chest" Lesnar. Juniors Brazilianness however confused Lesnar and gave him and identity crisis. The UFC instead brought in Shane "No penis on my chest Lesnar" Carwin. Carwin tried to hit Junior but was getting his ass whooped then he tried to utilize his humping background in order to rape Junior. This also proved unsuccessful and Junior instead humped him right back. Junior is now finally in line for a shot at the Heavyweight championship.
Junior Dos Santos .vs. Cain Velasquez[edit]
This fight is determined to happen in the near future - possibly early next year. The global scientific majority has proposed that this fight could potentially shift the earth's tectonic plates so much that the United States would become infused with the African continent. This is almost unanimously agreed upon as a plausible if not likely outcome, just from the fight's sheer awesomeness. There are even some amongst the scientific community that believe it will cause a "tear" in the space time continuum, and will bring back the dinosaurs, but most agree this is just downright absurd. UPDATE: Cigano finshed the world's hottest jalapeno pepper known as Cain Velasquez in 1:04 by (supposedly) replacing his drinking water with kryptonite, (Velasquez's only known weakness) then flicking him in the ear for an easy KO (Knock Off). This made every fanboy lose their hard-ons and spill their nachos all over their laps causing Dana "I like to cuss Skinhead $$$" White to call them whiners and Cigano to sleep with his title (Seriously). Now Dos Santos will have to wait for Cock Err Brock Lesnar for 20 years to defend his title against him, and until then he will remain the current and undisputed Unidentified Flying Cat Extra Medium, Light, Bantem, Zantem, Ganta, Fappa, WWE, TNA, ROH Champion.
Junior Dos Santos .vs. Frank Mir[edit]
So this is Junior's first title defense fight, but he was suppose to fight Alistair "Monkey Steroid Man Overroids" Overeem, but the dumb giant steroid-sucker was caught fucking Dana White in a hotel room so Dana White made Frank Mir fight Junior so he doesn't get fucked again. Anyway, Frank "I got my ass kicked by Cock Lesnar" Mir thought he can replace Overeem and kick Junior's ass. However, this proved unsuccessful as Junior knocked Mir the FUCK OUT!! Anyway, Dana Cock White jizzed his pants after.

The NBA playoffs is no time for child's play. Or is it?
A baby with his pants down stole the spotlight while analysts discussed the Houston Rockets win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. It's a short clip and the kid doesn't even speak while he strolled across the court and into the shot, but it's still adorably hilarious.
Who knows — maybe this kid is the next LeBron? Before we know for sure, let's make sure he suits up.

Starting Line
I've always seen HOT ROD as a living entity that's a product of its legacy rather than a creation of mine. Even so, it's become a huge part of my sense of self. HOT ROD consumes me, as I'm constantly thinking about how to improve or expand everything we do, and these days we do a lot. Under the HOT ROD brand, there are magazines—including HOT ROD Deluxe, Overkill, and special one-shot publications—digital products from the web to apps, licensed products, events like Power Tour® and Drag Week™, live-feed productions, endless social networking, and video shows. On the Motor Trend channel of YouTube, we do the half-hour Roadkill show once a month and the shorter HOT ROD Unlimited segments every two weeks. More are coming. In general, huge progress is happening.
But I've sporadically been going a week at a time on 20-hour days. Management isn't blind to this, so they've given HOT ROD the largest staff it's had in decades. And now there's a new member: David Kennedy, who will introduce himself next month, as the new Editor-In-Chief of HOT ROD. My title is now VP, Content Creation and Brand Development, HOT ROD. On the masthead, I've abbreviated that to VP, Brand Director. I'll be overseeing all the HOT ROD products, especially video, while the other David crafts the magazine. It's bittersweet, for sure, as I love my old job as much as the new one.
Here's something I'm proud of. It was a personal goal to be Editor-In-Chief longer than Wally Parks, who ran the mag for 10 years and 6 months. Though it was in two shifts, I've done it for 10 years and 10 months (I'm not counting this one, as Kennedy executed it). Wally went on to be Editorial Director for three full years, with his name appearing for the last time in the April '63 issue. I'm doing sort of the same, but I plan to stick with this new job with HOT ROD for much longer than three years. This is my home.
I've written farewell columns for 4-Wheel & Off-Road, Car Craft, Rod & Custom, and even HOT ROD before I left for a little while. This one seems less final, as there's very little changing about my job other than the fact I won't have sole responsibility for polishing the print product; I'll also maintain an editorial column here, and while I'm probably delusional about this one, I hope to do a couple big stories that have been on my mind for years. But mostly, with Kennedy on board, I'll have more time to focus on all the extensions of this gearhead juggernaut. I hope to create new fans for the brand in ways that, in 20 or 30 years, seem like a legacy in themselves.
Long live HOT ROD.

Thailand's powerful military chief intervened Tuesday for the first time in the country's latest political crisis, declaring martial law and dispatching gun-mounted jeeps into the heart of the capital with a vow to resolve the deepening conflict as quickly as possible.
According to the New York Times, one official said the situation was "softer than a coup."
The move stopped short of a coup and left the nation's increasingly cornered caretaker government intact, along with the constitution. Life continued normally with residents unfazed by the news, which follows six months of crippling protests that killed 28 people and injured more than 800.
But the intervention left the country at another precarious crossroads — its fate now squarely in the hands of the military.
"The key going forward will be the military's role in politics," said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, director of the Institute of Security and International Studies at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University. "If they play the role of enforcer of law and order and even mediator … this could be a resolution to the impasse."
But if they don't, "we can expect protests and turmoil from the losing side."
Thailand, an economic hub for Southeast Asia whose turquoise waters and idyllic beaches are a world tourist destination, has been gripped by off-and-on political turmoil since 2006, when former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was toppled by a military coup after being accused of corruption, abuse of power and disrespect for Thailand's king.
His overthrow triggered a power struggle that in broad terms pits Thaksin's supporters among a rural majority against a conservative establishment in Bangkok.
The army action came one day after Thailand's caretaker prime minister refused to step down, and followed new threats by anti-government protesters to intensify their campaign to oust the ruling party by next week.
The military, which has staged 11 coups since the end of absolute monarchy in 1932, is widely seen as sympathetic to the protest movement. Cabinet ministers said army chief Gen. Prayuth Chan-Ocha did not consult the government before issuing the surprise announcement Tuesday to take charge of security nationwide.
Although soldiers entered multiple television stations to broadcast the army message, life in the vast skyscraper-strewn metropolis of 10 million people and the rest of the country remained largely unaffected, with schools, businesses and tourist sites open and traffic flowing normally.
Near one of Bangkok's most luxurious shopping malls, bystanders stopped to snap smiling "selfies" of themselves with armed soldiers in jeeps and Humvees.
In the military announcement, Prayuth cited a 1914 law giving authority to intervene during crises. He said the military was acting to prevent street clashes between political rivals, and that it would "bring back peace and order to the beloved country of every Thai as soon as possible."
Don't worry. Everything will still go on normally. (We) will try not to violate human rights — too much
Speaking to reporters later, Prayuth said martial law would last until "the country is safe and there is stability," and that it would provide the two sides the opportunity to talk about a solution.
"Don't worry," he said. "Everything will still go on normally. (We) will try not to violate human rights — too much."
Acting Prime Minister Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan called an emergency Cabinet meeting at an undisclosed location. Afterward, he issued a brief statement saying only that the government hopes the military action will "bring peace back to the people of every group and every side."
Education Minister Chaturon Chaisang, however, said in a post on his Facebook page that martial law was not an answer and warned it could "eventually spiral into a situation in which the military has no choice but to stage a coup."
Thailand's problems are "fundamentally political problems that must be solved through political processes under democracy … not military or security measures," Chaturon said.
The latest round of unrest started last November, when demonstrators took to the streets to try to oust then-Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin's sister. She dissolved the lower house of parliament in December in a bid to ease the crisis, and later led a weakened, caretaker government.
Earlier this month, the Constitutional Court ousted Yingluck and nine Cabinet ministers for abuse of power. But the move, which left the ruling party in charge of government, did little to resolve the conflict.
The anti-government protesters want an interim, unelected government to implement vaguely defined reforms to fight corruption — and to remove the Shinawatra family's influence from politics. Critics at home and abroad call the idea unconstitutional and undemocratic.
On Monday, Thailand's acting prime minister insisted his government would not resign, resisting pressure from a group of senators calling for a new interim government with full power to conduct political reforms.
Competing protests in Bangkok have raised concerns of more violence. An overnight attack last week on an anti-government protest site left 3 dead and more than 20 injured.
Brad Adams, Asia Director for Human Rights Watch, denounced the army move, calling it "a de facto coup."
"The military has pulled a 100-year-old law off the shelf that makes the civilian administration subordinate to the military, effectively rendering the executive, legislative and judicial branches powerless," Adams said. "The broad powers conferred on the military mean that there are no legal safeguards against rights violations."
U.S. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said the U.S. expected the army "to honor its commitment to make this a temporary action to prevent violence, and to not undermine democratic institutions."
The army issued edicts throughout the morning. In one, they asked TV and radio stations to be on standby to interrupt programming for army broadcasts. At least 10 politically affiliated private TV stations from both sides ceased broadcasting — after armed soldiers entered and requested they do so.
Prayuth said rival protesters could remain at their rally sites as long as they remain peaceful and stop marching. The leader of anti-government demonstrators, Suthep Thaugsuban, handed a bouquet of flowers to army officers taking care of the Government House complex as his supporters vacated a building they had occupied for a week.
The leader of the pro-government Red Shirt movement, Jatuporn Prompan, said his group could accept martial law, but wouldn't tolerate a coup.
"We will see what the army wants," he said, warning that the undemocratic removal of the country's caretaker government "will never solve the country's crisis and will plunge Thailand deeper into trouble."
Red Shirts had been massing for days on the outskirts of Bangkok, and more than 100 soldiers deployed near the rally venue, where the set up checkpoints on roads.
Siam Intelligence Unit, a Bangkok-based think tank, said that although the martial law did not amount to a coup, "it is clearly a military intervention" — one that leaves the nation's fate in Prayuth's hands.
The group said several scenarios could unfold. Prayuth could consult the caretaker government and other leaders to talk and set a date for new elections, which the protesters have so far vowed to obstruct unless political reforms are instituted first. Demonstrators derailed the last vote in February and the Constitutional Court annulled the results.
The analyst group said Prayuth could allow the Senate to name a new premier and Cabinet, something the Red Shirts would oppose, perhaps violently.
"Martial law is just a short-term intervention. Thailand needs to find a solution for the political vacuum," the group said. "Now the duty to decide belongs to only Gen. Prayuth himself."

A march on Parliament was organized for today to protest the body's recent rejection of a law that would increased the severity of those who commit ''honor crimes.''
The Jordan Times daily reports that the march is to begin at the Sports City and is in demonstration of the Lower House's rejection last week of the law after only three minutes. Deputies claimed that the government was giving into western ways that ''debase Jordanian society.''
Women and human rights organizations have been pushing for the government to abolish Article 340, which pardons people who kill female relatives found committing adultery from punishment. Additionally, the article reduces the sentence for those who kill a female relative found in a situation of adultery.
Roughly 20 women are killed in the name of family honor each year, although officials and police surgeons say that more than 90 percent of the victims were not actually involved in any sexual activity. A first bill that would have abolished the article was submitted in 1998.

Editor's Note: The following is a column penned by Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA) President Phil Ingrassia appearing in the latest issue of RV Executive Today examining the public lands access issue.
As debates over the federal budget continue in Washington, we're getting reports from several states that public lands access is in jeopardy. Road closures in Arizona and Oregon are occurring in the national forests, sometimes surprising users. Roads that are open to RVers and other outdoor recreationists one day are closed the next.
We've been told that the Forest Service is closing roads because the agency is spending so much money fighting fires. Keeping people out is now a "fire prevention" measure. The Forest Service has pledged to get stakeholders involved in deciding which roads are appropriate for continued use and which are not. RVDA is working with the American Recreation Coalition (ARC) and our dealer leaders to keep the dialogue going, but the concept of keeping people off public lands to save money is not good for our industry.
It's reached the point in Arizona that even law enforcement officials are confused as to where people can go and where they can't. Gene Elms, law enforcement branch chief for Arizona Game and Fish told the Arizona Daily Sun last month that "the inconsistency in the Forest Service's implementation of new restrictions across the different forests is likely to cause confusion for anyone hunting or recreating on forest lands."
This idea of closing off access to public lands clearly goes against the wishes of American voters. According to a recent public opinion poll commissioned by the National Park Hospitality Association (NPHA) and the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), national parks are cherished by an overwhelming 95 percent of likely voters.
This survey, conducted by the bipartisan pollster team of Whit Ayers, a Republican, and Peter Hart, a Democrat, found that more than 80 percent of those likely voters have visited a national park at some point in their lives, and nearly nine in 10 say they are interested in visiting a park in the future.
At a meeting sponsored by ARC in Washington last month, the pollsters said that while the survey did not cover all federal land agencies, it is likely that similar public support would apply to other public recreation areas.
It's clear Americans favor protection of public lands – along with access. However, this kind of balance is hard to find in Washington these days. It will be up to the outdoor recreation community to educate both returning and newly elected officials in Washington about the economic impact of maintaining access to national forests and parks, as well as the consequences for preservation if people are discouraged from using public lands. People don't value things that they don't – or can't – use.
RVDA and its allies will continue to push for a balanced approach that keeps outdoor recreation accessible for our customers.

P2 Cast
P2 Cast – Cloud Based News Production System
Cloud system for broadcast cameras
Connect to the cloud using a WiFi or 4G connection
P2 Cast is the Panasonic cloud-based news production system that takes full advantage of the network features of the P2HD camcorders with AVC-ULTRA recording – the AJ-PX5000G, AJ-PX800 and AJ-PX270. P2 Cast integrates these camcorders' network capabilities so content captured in the field can automatically be uploaded to the cloud and immediately available for reviewing and editing.
P2 Cast dramatically accelerates the delivery of news to air, while at the same time expanding the editing function to any device connected to the internet. A major P2 Cast advantage is its ability via the cloud to move low bit rate, yet high-quality proxy video off a camcorder, create a video sequence of the desired clips, and then allow newsroom systems to automatically pull back high-resolution AVC-ULTRA video from the camera.
AVC-ULTRA cameras in the field are connected with the newsroom via the cloud through mobile networks (4G/LTE, Wi-Fi, or dedicated connection), making it possible to quickly produce news out of events as it occurs.
P2 Cast Workflow Features:
1. Proxy file sharing
Shared storage is prepared on the server. The proxy files uploaded from camcorders can be browsed and played from stations. The proxy file can be downloaded and used for breaking news.
2. Highlight editing, high-quality footage transfer
At a station, the editor can highlight-edit (In point / Out point) the proxy files that have been uploaded on the server, thus creating an EDL (Edit Decision List) and transfer it to the camera. Based on the EDL, the camera selects the desired high-quality footage and transfers it back to the server.
3. New, efficient workflows using metadata
Cameras and cameramen are pre-assigned IDs so metadata can be sent from the newsroom to the camcorders in the field. Metadata is automatically recorded with footage shot in the field, and the data can then be used in the editing process to dramatically increase the search-ability of the raw footage and shorten the time required for archiving and targeting secondary uses.
The AVC-ULTRA camcorders may require a firmware upgrade that enables the cameras to communicate with P2 Cast.
P2 Cast is available in the United States and Europe on a free trial basis through September 2015, at which time the service becomes chargeable.

A Pasadena man has been charged in a fatal hit-and-run crash that killed a homeless man last year, according to the Anne Arundel County State's Attorney's Office.
On Nov. 20, 2012, 52-year-old John Junior Stewart, who had no permanent address, was found lying on Mountain Road near Jumpers Hole Road with life-threatening injuries. He died at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center.
Witnesses said Stewart, who was not in a crosswalk, was hit by a dark-colored van or SUV that continued driving eastbound on Mountain Road after the crash.
Acting on a tip about a week later, police found a 2009 Hyundai SUV in a driveway on Lea Road in Pasadena. Police seized the car and the driver, 45-year-old Donovan Scott Bailey, contacted police. He was interviewed and released.
After a review, the Anne Arundel County State's Attorney's Office charged Bailey with failure to return and remain at the scene of an accident involving a death, a charge that carries a potential five-year prison term, according to prosecutors.
Bailey is scheduled for an initial court appearance on Nov. 13. A court summons was issued Saturday and no attorney is listed in court records.

The past week or two we have been going through our basement. We threw away several trash bags, and consolidated boxes and threw away about ten cardboard boxes. I made a trip to the thrift store and still have to go to Half Price Books and sell a few boxes of books. This is my first plan
My old computer has been repaired and my B-I-L put my pictures and downloads onto the D drive, now I have more room on C. What he suggested was making a DVD and put my files onto the disc. Supposedly DVD's will last longer than CD's. That is the second plan.
The third is scanning the pictures and papers I found in the basement in boxes from our parents homes. I had to download the drivers for my Lexmark printer and soon I will be in business to scan. I just have to move everything into the family room and set up on the larger desk. That is plan three.
To get this all done this week will be my goal. We will see how it goes.

Gutter cleaning is one of the most important things you can do to keep your Milford property in good condition.
As we explained in this article, regularly inspecting and cleaning your gutters will protect you from a raft of expensive problems.
It doesn't take much to block a gutter – just a few rotting leaves is enough – and the consequences are often terrible.
A flooded gutter can cause your roof to leak, and it sometimes forces you to replace the roof altogether. It also encourages mould infiltration inside your home. If water isn't effectively carried away from your foundation by downspouts, it may eventually damage the foundation, cause wood siding to rot, or flood your basement.
For these reasons, scheduling regular gutter inspections is a bit like brushing your teeth. It's a bit annoying, and it's tempting not to think about it – but once you're in the habit of doing it, it'll save you from hefty repair bills and anxiety in the long run.
Why choose us?
The team at EP Services are MilfordS's dedicated gutter cleaning specialists. We've been helping Kiwis with their gutters for more than ten years, and we've seen everything there is to see in this region.
As we built up our experience and expertise over time, we learned that every home or business requires a uniquely tailored solution.
It's not enough to offer a one-size-fits-all approach to guttering. Contractors who don't think carefully about your individual needs are one of the main reasons so many gutters in New Zealand are poorly installed, or use cheap materials that don't stand up to our wild weather.
Your property needs a considered solution that withstands the worst wind, hail, and tree debris this country will throw at it.
What you can expect from us
The first step is to give us a call, or contact us using the form below.After you get in touch, one of our specialists will happily drive anywhere in the Milford region to come and inspect your property.
We believe that you should have a very clear idea of what you're signing up for before committing to anything – so we'll carry out this inspection, and provide you with a quote, all at no cost to you.
Once we've checked the condition of your gutters, we'll advise you on the best ways to care for your system and protect it from blockage and disrepair.
If there's already a problem with it, we'll offer to deal with it for you on the spot, or to come back later if more extensive repairs are required. As part of our service, we always remove any debris we clear.
Most of our clients, when they see they've finally found a reliable contractor, choose to arrange regular gutter cleaning and maintenance. This often takes place about twice a year, particularly during the crucial transition from autumn to winter when many trees have lost their leaves.
If you'd like to find out more about how we can help, contact us today. We're always happy to chat.

I am a Company Director of Melbourne Netball Pty Ltd. Having run social netball competitions successfully for 15 years I am now branching out into a new netball communication area online. This is 'not basketball' and is the most popular sport played in Australia and New Zealand.
I love creativity and are passionate about placing it into this sporting area of my life with vigor and humor. I am a contrarian by nature and place it into everything I do.
If you love a great belly laugh then this project is right up your alley.
The target audience is very broad. It will be aimed at the very young...boys and girls from 10 years old to teenagers and then adults up to around 50 years of age. These people will have either played netball as a participant in their lives, or been a trainer/coach/umpire with a lot more knowledge of the sport. They might also be a parent to someone playing the sport.
This picture will be used as a trade mark for the name "Miss Netball". It needs to include the name above the picture saying" Miss Netball" possibly in a font that is easy to read but has character or humour perhaps looking like the name arrives above her head with speed.
This should scream humor. I would like a cartoon type action figure that is not a capable sporting girl. I would like her to be a misfit who is passionate about sport but not good at it no matter how much she tried but doesn't know that she's not great. She is passionate. But she is super capable and can juggle any number of things at the same time. eg: Nurturing/Intelligent/Strong willed/humorous/multi-tasking at great speed/opinionated/
She is a "klutz". She can barely catch or throw a ball but she knows her netball rule book inside out. She knows how to coach because she knows all about each playing position. She is always wearing band-aids and a bandage on a limb because she is always injured on each game she plays
"Heroine: A woman of distinguished courage or ability, admired for her brave deeds and noble qualities."
SO...no perfect body look in this figure...bring in the curves...let her look like a girl from the Glee club with that slight nerd factor. I would also like to see a possible netball pole above her head that looks like a halo angel type of look. This is not essential however.

Edzard Overbeek Appointed Head of Cisco Services
As Cisco continues to grow, there will naturally be management changes across the business—this gives us a real opportunity to empower smart, collaborative people with diverse skill sets to lead us into the next phase for the company.
Cisco's leadership bench today already has such a breadth and depth of these capabilities that we remain focused on our internal talent pool to fill leadership roles as they become available.
Effective at the start of fiscal year 2013, Edzard Overbeek, SVP, Asia Pacific, Japan, and Greater China (APJC), will lead Cisco's Global Services business from San Jose, CA, reporting directly to me.
I will continue to oversee the Services business until Edzard assumes his new role at the start of the fiscal year, and then I will focus full time on leading the daily operations of the company and aggressively driving our transformation.
Edzard has 12 years of demonstrated success at Cisco in geographic sales and channel leadership roles, most recently as the leader for our business in Asia and co-chair of the Emerging Countries Council, where he successfully drove adoption of new business models for the company. His background is ideally suited in the areas where we expect growth for the Services business.
The current services leadership team — Ed Baum, Nick Earle, Joe Pinto, Sameer Padhye and Parvesh Sethi—will report directly to Edzard once he assumes his new role.
The Services leadership team as a whole has built one of the most collaborative and profitable Services business in the industry. Together with Edzard, this world-class team will endeavor to grow the business and make Services even more relevant to our customers and partners than it is today.
Asia, and its growth potential, remains critically important to Cisco's business. Having a strong leader in place who will build on the momentum that Edzard has built over the past three years will be paramount to capturing the opportunities there, particularly in emerging countries like India and China. Rob Lloyd, EVP Worldwide Operations, is committed to having an APJC leader in place by the start of FY13. Until that time, Edzard will continue to lead the sales region.
Bringing leaders into new areas infuses fresh perspectives, energy, and skills to help accelerate innovation and tighten the alignment between organizations. I am confident that the changes we are announcing today will help accelerate Cisco's ability to capture the market opportunities ahead of us.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Alabama Teen Shot in Head During Home Invasion Prank
(NEW YORK) -- A 15-year-old Alabama boy was in critical condition Sunday after he was shot in the head by a friend during a prank that police said went terribly wrong.
Jesse Rainey, 15, and seven male friends were spending the weekend at an unoccupied home that belonged to the grandmother of one of the boys, when a few of the teens decided to prank their friends by faking a home intrusion, Colbert County Sheriff Ronnie May told ABC News.
"One of the young men cut the lights to the house, then a few of the other guys snuck back inside, wanting their friends to believe there was an intruder," May said.
The teens were in the process of using flashlights to find the switch box, when Rainey jumped out of a closet.
His rattled friend immediately dropped a video game and fired a shot into Rainey's head with a .38 caliber hand gun.
May called the shooting "accidental" and said after interviewing all of the boys and conferring with the district attorney's office, no charges will be filed. Drugs and alcohol were also not a factor in the shooting.
The teens called 911 at 3:30 a.m. Saturday. Dispatchers were unable to find the rural home on a map, so the boys put Rainey in the bed of a pickup truck and drove him 10 minutes to a Midway convenience store. They were met there by sheriff's deputies and a medical team, May said.
Rainey was taken to Helen Keller Hospital, where he was stabilized before being transferred to the Children's Hospital in Birmingham, Ala.
May said the boys are all close friends who attend Colbert Heights High School together.
"This was a prank that went terribly wrong," he said.

Nokia 6800

Nokia 6800: Not bad but could be more refined
Nokia is known for making stellar phones and the 6800 is no exception. I am a fan of Nokias and believe they make the best phones in the world. However, having migrated from the Nokia 3200, I have found this new phone to lack some of the features I enjoyed in my 3200. I feel that the 6800 is not fully developed to Nokia's standards because of cost-cutting or whatever other reason. Here's whats annoying me about this phone compared to my 3200. These nuisances will be more apparent if you are an experienced Nokia users. Otherwise you will have a blast using the 6800:
- The joystick is for 4-way navigation only. You can't 'press' it in and have to use one of the flanking buttons to use a command.
- There is no automatic keyguard which will lock the keys (so you don't accidentally dial a number) after a certain amount of time. You have to do this manually each time.
- You cannot change the menu into 'grid view'. You must scroll through a million menu options to get to, say, 'Settings'.
- Many of the 'Go To' options have been disabled such as the shortcut to the alarm clock.
- Nokia is not known for developing the best screens but compared to my 3200, the LCD on the 6800 is horrid. It lacks colors and decent graphics and just looks cheap.
- My phone came defective. In FM radio mode, the stations will automatically change every few seconds with no way of stopping it. I think this is an isolated bug only on my phone.
- The earpiece sound has vibration and people's voices don't sound as cleared compared to other Nokias.
- The infrared port doesn't work. I can't transfer images/sounds from my other Nokia.
Otherwise, this is a great phone with great design. The most obvious reason anone would get this is the flip-open keyboard which works flawlessly. The battery will last you days, the loudspeaker is crystal clear and the buttons are clear and easy to press. Oh and it has side buttons (yaaay!). Once a Nokian, always a Nokian.
bazaar liking
After bitching continuously about miniature Qwerty keyboards as useless on cell phones -- I have been humbled.
I own a busted Nokia NgageQD. So I needed a quick phone fix to stick my SIM card in. There were still a few 6800's left in some of the T-mobile stores in Boise Idaho, so I chose a 6800 as a "go-phone" where I just swap out the SIM card for my original one.
This phone is so good I may have to split time with it and the NgageQD when it returns -- and maybe I do not care if I ever see it again... I am a series 60 fanatic though, so probably not. But the fact that I like this phone, and all its features is amazing!!!
The keyboard is so cool that I will have to start IMing & and emailing from my phone [things I do not do] just to have an excuse to use my new toy!
Pro -- FM radio, Earpiece, keyboard, speaker,
internet features, screen size-quality
Con -- No Bluetooth, not a tri-band, and
that I will have to choose between
NgageQD and 6800 when it returns.
AD reviews continues below...
great if you text alot
I had this phone for almost a year. I liked it alot, altough it does not have bluetooth.
opening up keyboard automatically puts call on speakerphone (great for driving)
full qwerty keyboard
Has a reasonable amount of memory for a
non-camera phone.
no bluetooth
NO different ringtones for different callers (this one really upsets me, otherwise this would be a great phone)
1/2 way good
I just got this phone for my boyfriend and he is very happy with the phone because of the QWERTY keyboard, speakerphone, & radio options. The phone gets great signal ( as with many Nokia phones). In my opinion, the phone is bulky and the screen quality is awful. Pictures on the phone look cheesy. Another thing that I don't like is that when the keypad is opened, there is no light on the keypad so you can see where the buttons are in the dark. Also does not support MP3 ringtones.
Nokia 6800 is so cool!
This phone is so cool, I just got it yesterday and I love it. The flip keyboard is just too much fun! I like big phones and the 6800 is definantly large compared to my last phone, the Nokia 6200. The screen is nice, the keypads are easy to push and overall the phone looks very nice. Plus you get 5 MB of memory! That's better than the 500 KB I had with my 6200! I have like over 10 games on this phone! It is so cool! A+++++
I send and received over 15,000 messages a month. I found the keys on this the best phone for that.
A well-executed, effective design
After a thoroughly horrible experience with the Siemens CF62T, I ordered the Nokia 6800 from T-Mobile. After much waiting, the phone arrived. I was extremely impressed with the solid exterior design and the fit and finish of the different parts. Coming from a flimsy, quirky Siemens, this phone is excellent. When you turn it on, you are greeted with a simple, easy to use, intuitive design for the menu, and common sense operations. They say that the devil's in the details, but there's no devil here. Thoughtful add-ins such as the FM radio, voice recorder, and currency converter are useful, helpful additions to a wonderful phone. As for the much-touted keyboard, this machine is an SMS genius, making short work of text messages, instant messaging, and quick note-taking. Finally, the organizer and calendar takes practice to use effectively, but are ingenious in design. I can recommend this phone to anyone who needs a good, relatively simple, durable phone, not only to SMS and IM wonks. This phone rocks, and in Hawaii, T-Mobile simply rocks!
Everything about this phone is amazing! My g/f put it through the washing machine last night and it is still working.
Very Nice Phone
I'm blown away by the capabilities of this phone. I have been using a crappy Motorola c331 for the last two years, so any new cell phone would probably impress me, but this phone alleviates the need for a PDA.
I got this phone for -$125 through Amazon when I signed up for a new T-mobile plan (they will pay me $125 after rebates).
I couldn't believe how easy it was to synchronize Outlook with the phone. I downloaded the impressive, free Nokia PC Suite sofware from nokia.com/support/phones/6800, installed it, selected infrared connectivity on my phone and pointed the IR window at my laptop, opened the Nokia PC Sync application, and it transferred 400 contacts and all of my appointments to my phone in 2 minutes. No configuration, drivers, or cables required. Phenomenal.
The phone comes with a decent headset, too.
good fone
This is by far my favorite phone, but being as I have mostly had the free Nokias that T-Mobile gives out and one flip Samsung from Sprint, that is not saying too much.
The only problem that I had was that a few weeks after I got the phone, the faceplate broke (rather easily) from being in my pocket. My fault. Nokia doesn't offer any help/parts (unlike the myriad of faceplates for their cheapie phones), so I have to be more cafeul with the new one that I got. The face scratches easily so 6800 #2 does not get tossed around and thrown in my pocket anymore. I have not even removed the plastic from this one's face, I am starting to feel like my grandpa...
I love this phone for SMS, e-mailing, etc, while I am away from my computer. Plus T-mobile's version comes with a ring that actually sounds like a phone (an old timey "ring ring") that I prefer to all the songs and crap that they have out now. The only other complaint is that the earpiece is not easy to use and a bit bulky on the ear. I barely use it because it's so much hassle.

A major Florida citrus grower has been fined after a state investigation found it illegally sprayed pesticide that caused the death of millions of honeybees.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services fined Ben Hill Griffin Inc. $1,500 last week.
The Palm Beach Post reports that beekeepers have argued since at least 2006 that citrus growers have at times illegally sprayed pesticides to kill the Asian citrus psyllid. The tiny insect spreads greening, a lethal and widespread citrus disease that is devastating groves. But beekeepers say their honey-making insects have been killed along with psyllids.
A Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Department spokeswoman says the action against Ben Hill Griffin is the first case in recent years where a pesticide application by a grower was determined to be the cause of a bee kill.

Ghaffar Khan, nonviolent badshah of the Pakhtuns
Penguin Viking, Jul 1, 2004 - Biography & Autobiography - 300 pages
`There Is Nothing Surprising In A Muslim Or A Pathan Like Me Subscribing To The Creed Of Nonviolence. It Is Not A New Creed. It Was Followed 1,400 Years Ago By The Prophet All The Time When He Was In Mecca,' Said Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Whose Influence And Fame As Pashtun Nationalist And Proponent Of Nonviolence And Social Reform Crossed The Durand Line (The Afghan `Border') On Both Sides. Born Into The Muhammadzai Tribe, From The Charsadda Valley In The Pakhtun Heartland, This Passionate Believer In The Nonviolent Core Of Islam Sought To Wean His People-The Fierce Warrior Pakhtuns Or Pathans Of The North-West Frontier Province-From Their Violent Traditions And Fight For A Separate Pakhtun Homeland That Would No Longer Be A Buffer Between Russia And Britain In The Great Game.
In 1929 Came Mahatma Gandhi'S Call For Nonviolent Resistance Against British Rule And Badshah Khan, As He Was Known To Many, Responded By Raising The Khudai Khidmatgars (`Servants Of God'), An `Army' Of 1,00,000 Men Who Pledged Themselves To The Service Of Mankind And Nonviolence As A Creed. For This, And For His Steadfast Devotion To His Principles, This Towering Figure Was Imprisoned For A Total Of Twenty-Seven Years, First By The British And Later By The Pakistani Government.
Rajmohan Gandhi Offers Fresh Insights Into The Life And Achievements Of An Extraordinary Man, Drawing Close Parallels With The Life Of Mahatma Gandhi, His `Brother In Spirit'. He Looks At Ghaffar Khan `With The Spectacles Of Today Rather Than Those Of 1947', Emphasizing That For People In The Twenty-First Century Who Live In The Shadow Of September 11, Badshah Khan'S Unwavering Commitment To Nonviolence And Hindu-Muslim Unity Offers Valuable Lessons.

Community Counseling Center in Fredericktown is home to a Telehealth site, which gives patients in underserved areas access to University of Missouri Health Care specialists.
Transporting patients from the Bootheel of Missouri to Columbia for a doctor's appointment involves more than just minor discomfort for the patient and the patient's family. In addition to the emotional costs of uprooting a family from their daily lives to travel across the state, they frequently face steep financial costs – they must take off work, pay for gas, and often pay for lodging. However, with the technology made available through the Missouri Telehealth Network (MTN), patients across the state can now access University of Missouri specialists without leaving their communities.
While all states have at least one telehealth network, Missouri has one of the most developed telehealth networks in the country. The MTN started out with nine sites in 1994 and has since expanded to more than 200 sites in 56 Missouri counties. The term "telehealth" encompasses a broad definition of remote healthcare that can include medical education, patient consultations, and other services that improve healthcare but aren't considered direct patient care.
The MTN is an affiliate of the Center for Health Policy at the University of Missouri, which helps the MTN with policy issues on both the state and national level.

When Boston's Museum of Science opened its doors this past weekend to debut the RACE: Are We So Different? exhibit, the museum challenged Bostonians to learn and discuss the common assumptions about differences amongst people. Discussions certainly have the buzz around the city these days; here's a roundup of the latest:
Callie Crossley, of The Callie Crossley Show on Boston's NPR station WGBH, interviewed Evelynn Hammonds, Dean of Harvard College and a professor of the history of science. In their discussion, they look at the scientific approach to race and the impact of historical and cultural influences. Listen to the episode: Callie Crossley – RACE episode
Jody Feinberg, reporter for The Patriot Ledger, interviews museum attendees on their perspective of race in relation to the cultural versus biological differences amongst people. She speaks with AAA member, Alan Goodman and the chairwoman for the museum's educational team, Nina Catubig Nolan, about the concepts and goals of the exhibit. Fienberg also highlights the variety of programs and activities that the Museum of Science offers in tandem with the exhibit. Read Jody's article here.

BAYAMON, PUERTO RICO (Jan. 30, 2014) - After a stellar 2013 that included impressive wins over Zab Judah and Lucas Matthysse, WBC, WBA and Ring Magazine Unified Super Lightweight World Champion Danny "Swift" Garcia will kickoff his 2014 campaign with one of the most important fights of his career as he pays homage to his Puerto Rican heritage on Saturday, March 15, live on SHOWTIME. Garcia will face the crafty contender Mauricio Herrera at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, in the main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® doubleheader.
In the co-feature, heavyweight knockout artist Deontay "The Bronze Bomber" Wilder returns against longtime standout Malik "King" Scott. In the featured bout on the SHOWTIME EXTREME telecast preceding these fights, Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez and Daniel Ponce de Leónsquare off in a 10-round rematch for the WBO International Junior Lightweight Title.
Tickets are priced at $400, $200, $150, $75, $50 and $25 go on sale today, Thursday, Jan. 30. To order, please call 787-792-5000, or visit www.ticketcenter.com/sports/boxing
"This is going to be a night I will remember forever, and I plan on giving the fans a show they won't forget," said Garcia, a Philadelphia native of Puerto Rican descent. "I'm a proud Puerto Rican, and even though Herrera is a tough challenger, there is no way I'm losing in Puerto Rico. This is definitely one of the most important bouts of my professional career for my whole family. I can't wait for March 15."
"I've waited a long time for a fight like this, and while I know Garcia is the favorite, I won't be underestimated," said Herrera, who dispatched world champion Ruslan Provodnikov in 2011. "I love the underdog role and I'm going to shock the world on March 15."
"I had a good year in 2013, but 2014 is going to be my biggest and best yet," said Wilder, the promising heavyweight who has knocked out all of his 30 opponents in his six year pro career. "It all starts with Malik Scott, and I respect his skill and experience, but by the end of the night, this is business."
"You can't deny what Wilder's done in the ring so far, and he's got a bright future," said Scott, an experienced heavyweight out of Philadelphia. "But we have to put our friendship aside on March 15, and it's going to be a great fight."
"Danny Garcia and his father Angel have told me how much that a fight in Puerto Rico would mean to them, and it's going to be an emotional night for them," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. "When you mix Danny's desire to put on a great performance in Puerto Rico and Mauricio Herrera's hunger for a world title together, this is going to be a fight and night to remember. Plus, we have the most exciting heavyweight in the world, Deontay Wilder, taking on a tough challenger in Malik Scott. If Deontay wins this fight, he can't be denied much longer for a world title fight."
"In this event, we have two excellent matchups and dramatic storylines that are sure to make great television," said Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President & General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports. "Danny Garcia, the man to beat at 140 pounds, making his debut in Puerto Rico, plus another step up in competition for Deontay Wilder, a man who carries the hopes those waiting for the next great American heavyweight champion, make this the quintessential SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING event."
"We are so happy to start this business relation with Golden Boy Promotions and work again along with Showtime. This is a great show with a World Championship fight in Puerto Rico and a Puerto Rican champion as Danny Garcia in his parents' country," said Peter Rivera, Vice-President of PR Best Boxing Promotions.
Garcia vs. Herrera,a 12-round Super Lightweight Championship fight for Garcia's WBC, WBA and Ring Magazine titles, taking place Saturday, March 15 at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and Swift Promotions in association with PR Best Boxing and sponsored by Corona and AT&T. This event will be televised live on SHOWTIME and can be heard in Spanish using secondary audio programming (SAP).
The number one-rated super lightweight boxer in the world today, WBA, WBC and Ring Magazine World Champion Danny "Swift" Garcia (27-0, 16 KO's) has made a steady rise from prospect to contender to boxing superstar over the last few years. In the time since his WBC Super Lightweight title-winning effort against Erik "El Terrible" Morales in 2012, he's made his case for a spot on the pound-for-pound list. Owner of victories over Amir "King" Khan, Zab "Super" Judah, Kendall Holt and Lucas "The Machine" Matthysse, the undefeated 25-year-old Garcia begins his 2014 campaign in Puerto Rico against Mauricio Herrera.
Fighting out of Riverside, Calif., Mauricio Herrera (20-3, 7 KO's) was one of the sport's most underrated competitors on his way up the 140-pound ladder, but when he defeated current WBO junior welterweight world champion Ruslan Provodnikov in January of 2011, the word was out on this super lightweight secret weapon. Mike Dallas Jr., Ji-Hoon Kim and Miguel Angel Huerta have also fallen against the 33-year-old veteran, and on March 15, he will get his long-awaited shot at a world championship.
The top American heavyweight in the world today, 28-year-old Deontay "The Bronze Bomber" Wilder (30-0, 30 KO's) is also the most feared fighter in the division, having ended all 30 of his pro fights via knockout, 17 in the first round. In 2013, the 2008 U.S. Olympic Bronze medalist made his move on the Top 10, knocking out Audley Harrison, Siarhei Liakhovich and Nicolai Firtha. On March 15, Tuscaloosa, Alabama's Wilder hopes to move a step closer to a world title opportunity by beating Malik Scott.
Philadelphia's Malik Scott (36-1-1, 13 KO's) is a skilled boxer who has been among the best heavyweights in the world for the majority of his nearly 14 year pro career, and, in Wilder, he gets the fight he's been seeking for a long time. Still in his prime at 33, the only blemishes on Scott's record are a controversial loss to Dereck Chisora and an equally disputed draw with Vyacheslav Glazkov. Against Wilder, he promises to leave no doubt that he is the better
A stellar member of the exclusive club of world champions from Puerto Rico, Caguas' Juan Manuel Lopez (33-3, 30 KO's) is an all-action fighter who held WBO Titles at 122 and 126 pounds. Owner of a 2008 victory over Ponce De Leon as well as wins in two of his last three bouts, the 30-year-old southpaw hopes that a win on March 15 will put him back in the title picture.
Looking to avenge his 2008 loss to Lopez, a defeat that cost him his WBO Super Bantamweight title, Cuauhtemoc, Chihuahua, Mexico's Daniel Ponce de León (45-5, 35 KO's)is more motivated than ever to even the score with the Puerto Rican star. Since their first bout, the 33-year-old Ponce De Leon has won 11 of 14 bouts, earning the WBC Featherweight Title as well. In his most recent bout, he defeated Joksan Hernandez on Nov. 16, 2013.
A full undercard will be announced shortly.

text: This backyard tea house designed by David Jameson in Maryland is Japanese-inspired, but it's not the architecture from centuries that's doing the influencing. Instead, the modern structure—which implements steel beams, glass, and a healthy dose of wood—takes its cues from a Japanese lantern, made evident by fact that it's suspended from the metal above. The only thing that could possibly make this even more fantastic (by way of serenity), is if it would slowly rock you to sleep after your tea date. [Architizer]

From Hachiko to Hawkeye, the stories of a dog's heartbreaking loyalty to their owners are endless.
ASPCA science advisor Dr. Stephen Zawistowski tells us that dogs are fiercely loyal simply because they evolved as pack animals.
"When they've moved into our homes and into our lives, our families have become their pack," says Zawistowski.
Find out more about why dogs are so loyal above.
