This coming Monday, March 15th, there is going to be a public discussion on the plan to redo the streetscaping of 20th St. and Cloverfield Blvd. Currently both of these streets are not especially pleasant places to be a cyclist and have poor pavement condition. They also represent one of the biggest gaps in the Santa Monica bicycle route network, with no North/South routes between 17th and Stewart. Since street options with bridges over the freeway are limited, each street that makes that crossing becomes an important matter. With the revamp of these streets comes a great opportunity to make sure cyclists are in the discussion, and I highly urge all cyclists with an interest in making Santa Monica a better place to ride to attend. It's important our voices are ideas are heard, and equally important to simply shows numbers, a presence that says we are constituency that demands respect and is paying attention.
When this rescaping was first proposed I believe it was really only to put some trees up, and the discussion of providing better conditions for cyclists was an idea that hatched later. If we don't show our support to keep the cycling discussion going, there are some that would prefer this go back to purely a repave and "beautification" discussion. Let's make sure this project is more than just what type of tree is going to be planted.
Of the two streets I would most like to see a strong consideration for making 20th St. a class II bike route (bike lanes), as it has close proximity to two schools, including SMC, and connects all the way to Montana to the North and Ocean Park to the south. Which would add connectivity with several East/West bike routes, including Broadway, Pearl, Ocean Park and come just shy of the bike lanes of Montana Ave which begin slightly further West. Cloverfield should be made more cycling friendly than it is presently, but I think will be the more difficult of the two to make into a good place to ride, as it encounters a lot heavier traffic with it's Eastward connection to the 10 freeway. However I don't think that means we should abandon hope to reform Cloverfield. With it's connection to some of the biggest job centers in Santa Monica, if we want to encourage cycling to work, the business district is going to need to be better served by safe cycling routes.
I'm also interested in proposing if there lacks the political will for bike lanes, to make this an opportunity for Santa Monica to get with the program and try sharrow markings like Long Beach, Hermosa Beach and coming soon, The City of Los Angeles. Sharrows would not take away an inch of lane space for automobiles, but would commicate clearly bikes have a right to the road, and can take the center of the lane when necessary to avoid the door zone. In the numerous cities now that have implemented sharrows, they have been shown to influence safer behavior and passing by motorists, and reduced the number of cyclists riding the wrong away in traffic or taking the sidewalk.
I hope you can make it out. The meeting is taking place at Virgina Park, right in the heart of the communities this will impact, on Monday the 15th from 7-9pm. See you there.

Kim says she wants "own up" for publishing two tweets -- the first read, "Praying for everyone in Israel."
A short time later, she added, "Praying for everyone in Palestine and across the world!"
Kim later deleted both the tweets -- and issued the following explanation:
"I want to own up to and explain that earlier today I sent out two tweets about saying prayers for the people in Palestine and Israel and after hearing from my followers, I decided to take down the tweets because I realized that some people were offended and hurt by what I said, and for that I apologize."

A comment made by the sheriff of Kern County several years ago at a California Planting Cotton Seed Distributors (CPCSD) annual September field day came to mind recently as California legislators debated the merits of funding the Central Valley Rural Crime Prevention Program.
The sheriff was grateful for CPCSD recognizing the department's rural/ag crime fighter efforts. However, he also acknowledged that crimes against agriculture were not always a departmental priority. The Central Valley Rural Crime Prevention Program changed that. He was embarrassed to admit that a beer grab from a rural convenience market would get the store owner two patrol cars, red lights and sirens blaring, to the crime scene trying to snag the culprit with two six packs under his arms.
Sadly, if on the same day a farmer called in the theft of thousands of dollars worth of aluminum irrigation pipe, the dispatcher likely would have told the grower to mail in a report or a deputy would be out in a few days to pick it up.
Thanks partly to the state-funded rural crime prevention program, the sheriff said his department revisited its priorities and crimes against agriculture were now given the attention they deserved.
For far too long, California farmers and ranchers have accepted thievery as part of doing business in a rural environment. More often than not, farmers and ranchers would not even report losses.
Tulare County district attorney Phil Cline (fortunately for him no relations to this editor) decided about a decade ago that was not right. He formed the Tulare County Agricultural Crimes Investigations Unit to develop problem solving and crime control techniques and to encourage timely reporting of crimes. Tulare County was successful in it efforts, leading to the California legislature funding for the crime prevention program not only in Tulare County, but throughout the valley in Fresno, Kings, Kern, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties.
The program has been funded at $3.5 million annually, but the law that created it soon sunsets. Fresno County State Sen. Chuck Poochigian is working to continue the program at current funding levels, but the effort is faltering for lack of legislative and gubernatorial support.
It is preposterous to think $3.5 million to bolster the crime fighting effort in five counties that contribute more than $20 billion annually to the state's economy is struggling to win approval. Talk about a need for California legislative re-prioritization. To ad insult to injury, the governor has given token recognition to the program by cutting funding by $1.9 million less than current levels.
Since 2002, the program has reported losses of farm equipment, chemicals, livestock and other agriculturally related items of more than $27 million. It has recovered $9.5 million of that, a recovery rate of 35 percent, more than double the state's average for general property crimes. A lot of this recovery can be traced to the equipment identification system the program supports.
More importantly, the program has created a greater law enforcement presence around farms and ranches, putting thieves on notice that stealing from agriculture will no longer be a piece of cake.
District attorney Cline said in a recent Sacramento Union article that this program "has facilitated a major shift in awareness of rural crime."
It is a long overdue awareness. It would be a travesty to see it disappear for mere pennies in a $109 billion state budget.

About one hundred social interface patterns are identified and discussed.
I highly recommend Designing Social Interfaces for anyone involved in creating or maintaining a consumer oriented web property.
About one hundred social interface patterns are identified and discussed.
Balsamiq Mockups is a cross-platform (Windows, OS X, Linux) application that is great at creating quick and dirty, back of the napkin style (in a very good way) user interface wireframes.
The mockups created by the application are essentially electronic sketches composed of both pre-built and user constructed user interface components.
The application is capable of running as a browser based application or a standalone desktop application.
The desktop application requires the Adobe Air runtime. Since I already had installed the Air runtime on the two platforms that I tested Balsamiq Mockups (Windows XP and Mac OS X), installation simply consisted of downloading the "MockupsForDesktop.air" file and double-clicking on the downloaded file (in my case version 1.5.33) to start the installation.
Before running the application for the first time I quickly perused the available online help. The online help does a good job of covering the features and functions of the tool and because it is presented in a single web page it is easy to search and print if necessary .
Within 10 minutes of using Balsamiq I felt like I'd gotten the hang of the application and had produced my first complete mockup.
If you've used almost any kind of a drawing tool the features of Balsalmiq will be familiar and work as expected (e.g. guides, snap to grid, grouping elements, auto-alignment options, locking regions and layering).
The pre-installed library of UI components covers a range of common scenarios. Also there are more components that the Balsamiq community has developed available for download at www.mockupstogo.net. One suggestion I have for anyone trying the application is to use the "Quick Add" feature, once discovered, I found that I used is almost exclusively to locate the components that I wanted to add to my mockup.
One interesting and positive characteristic of the mockup files themselves is that they are straightforward XML files. This opens up the oppportunity to translate the mockups into other formats.
Example Mockup XML:
<mockup version="1.0" skin="sketch" measuredW="631" measuredH="585"> <controls> <control controlID="0" controlTypeID="com.balsamiq.mockups::BrowserWindow" x="43" y="18" w="588" h="567" measuredW="450" measuredH="400" zOrder="0" locked="false" isInGroup="-1"> <controlProperties> <text>A%20Web%20Page%0Ahttp%3A//</text> </controlProperties> </control> <control controlID="1" controlTypeID="com.balsamiq.mockups::TabBar" x="66" y="105" w="550" h="392" measuredW="256" measuredH="100" zOrder="1" locked="false" isInGroup="-1"> <controlProperties> <text>One%2C%20Two%2C%20Three%2C%20Four</text> </controlProperties> </control> <control controlID="2" controlTypeID="com.balsamiq.mockups::VideoPlayer" x="119" y="172" w="458" h="204" measuredW="300" measuredH="200" zOrder="2" locked="false" isInGroup="-1"/> </controls> </mockup>
Mockups can also be exported into nice looking PNG files for inclusion into the document of your choice.
One item that would be a good addition to the product would be to add the concept of a master template where a master template would include all of the design elements that are repeated between screens (or pages). An ability to define a master template for a mockup would greatly simplify changes across a related set of mockups. Another welcome addition would be some way to organize a set related mockups together. Perhaps this could be accomplished by defining a set of container elements in the mockup XML files.
The application also has support for functioning as a Jira plugin. At work we are moving to Jira so perhaps I'll have the opportunity to test that aspect of the product next.
The application is an easy to learn and easy to use tool to create user interface "sketches" that convey the essential aspects of a design without the inclusion of unnecessary detail. This is a tool that is effective for hashing out the form and function of an interface without obsessing about the look and feel.
For large scale user interface prototyping the lack of a master template is potentially limiting. Because of the usefulness this kind of a feature I wouldn't be surprised to find out that this feature is on the radar for a future release.
The bottom line is that I'm looking forward to using this tool on future projects.

So, I actually just ordered a 36-man replacement for the bulk of my infantry, but I have these old pictures here of my current forces(minus some small new additions), so I figured I'd finally post them. Currently, the B.E.S.E. military is more of a militia. It is divided into several specialized squads, and contains a few heroes to lead the troops on the battlefield. The mech and tank pictured have actually been disassembled. The tank has been replaced, but I'm still trying to work out some proper support mechs.
Here's a top-down Overwatch picture of my infantry, and a few other general pictures.
This is Blue Squad, my sort of general use/infantry squad. Most of the units I have just ordered are actually meant to replace Blue Squad and become Blue Company.
This is Tan Squad, the diversified fast-response squad. I intend to develop them into Tan Company, which will consist of several specialized squads to deal with various threats.
This is the Peach Commando squad. Though there were one racial tensions within the B.E.S.E., the recent return of the Blokbot legions has caused those involved in the conflicts to set their differences aside.
This is Kloan Squad, the remnants of the old Imperial rulers of Endimus Prime. They will, eventually, be phased out. It has been suggested that the older members of the B.E.S.E. infantry be given their equipment and made into an honor guard.
These are the Farce Knights, yet another remnant of the older Imperial government. They were once the personal guard of the Baron, but have since been integrated into the infantry as specialized melee units. Their melee prowess is great, though their Farce powers are...not very effective.
These two squads are Ninja Squad and Gray Squad. Ninja squad is, of course, a heavy melee unit, while Gray Squad is a small group of infantry support pilots.
This is the Space Mercenary squad, a collection of alien and human fighters that the B.E.S.E. has managed to call to arms to fight for them.
These units here are all deceased now, save for the one in white. He is Freddy Von Pwyll, the Baron's son. Presently, he is in command of the Mercenary forces of the B.E.S.E., though he some times commands the old Imperial Forces.
The Brik End Space Vikings and their two elder allies, the Black Knight and the Necromancer, are remnants of the old Brik End Kingdom, predating the space age and the barony of Baron Fredrick Von Pwyll. The Space Vikings are actually about to become a lot more space and twice as viking, as soon as I get the parts.
The man with the red armor and large weapon is the Baron Fredrick Von Pwyll, uniter of the Brick End Space Empire, and the one who fought tooth-and-nail to keep his people alive during the Blokbot invasion. Those that surround him are his entourage, his current personal bodyguards. They are The Iron Chef, The Sorceress, The Wizard, The Beastmaster, and his two personally-trained bodyguards. I'm sure you can figure out who is who.
The two following figs(in order) are the Halberd and The Admiral, the main infantry and naval heroes of the B.E.S.E. They've been with the B.E.S.E. almost as long as the Baron has been.
Also, the crappy, now non-existent tank and walker.
Well, hope you guys liked them. I'll be re-vamping my army once I get in that order of figs. I'll actually post pictures of the new army pretty soon after I get it finished.

Indiana says 2 will transfer as Vonleh ponders NBA
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Indiana's roster will look very different next season.
On Monday, coach Tom Crean announced two players would transfer to other schools – just hours after word leaked that star freshman Noah Vonleh was headed to the NBA.
Crean issued a news release that said forward Austin Etherington, a redshirt sophomore, and forward Jeremy Hollowell, a sophomore, were looking for new schools.
The bigger blow would be losing Vonleh, the Big Ten freshman of the year. Crean has not yet confirmed that decision, first reported by CBSSports.com. The Indianapolis Star later cited Vonleh's mother as confirming it.
The move would hardly be a surprise.
Vonleh came to Indiana as the prize recruit in last year's highly touted freshman class, and the 6-foot-10, 240-pound Massachusetts native didn't disappoint. He won the Big Ten's rebounding title, developed a 3-point shot and used his versatility to routinely create matchup problems for opponents.
He might have put up even bigger numbers had he stayed healthy. Crean said Vonleh was fighting inflammation in his left foot for a prolonged period before he finally sat out two March games. When Vonleh returned for the final two games of the season, he wasn't the same.
At Michigan, Vonleh came off the bench and wound up going 2 of 5 from the field with seven points and eight rebounds. It was the only time in 30 appearances he did not start.
In what proved to be the season-ending Big Ten tournament quarterfinal loss, Vonleh was 3 of 9 from the field and finished with six points, five rebounds and two blocks. Afterward, he wouldn't discuss his future plans.
But the injury didn't change his draft stock.
Almost from the moment the season began, Vonleh was projected as a lottery pick. He could become be the third Indiana underclassman in two drafts to go in the top 10. Victor Oladipo, then a junior, was taken No. 2 overall by Orlando last summer. Cody Zeller, then a sophomore, went No. 4 to Charlotte.
Crean also must rebuild without Hollowell, who started this season as a starter, and Etherington, who became a steadying influence for the young Hoosiers.
Hollowell's rocky career in Bloomington included sitting out three games last season after his family contacted the school about "compliance issues." He was then reinstated and finished the season averaging 2.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 9.7 minutes.
This year, Hollowell sat out three more games and lost his starting job, finishing with averages of 5.7 points and 3.5 rebounds.
"I have learned a lot from my time at Indiana," Hollowell said in a statement. "My time here has made me much stronger as a person. Things don't always go as planned and I am looking forward to getting a fresh start and I hope to make the most of that opportunity."
The former Indiana high school All-Star thanked Crean, the coaching staff and the Hoosiers fans for their support in a statement.
Etherington's career was marred by a fractured left kneecap in December 2012 that cost him the final 29 games of the season. This season, he started six of 30 games, averaging 2.0 points and 1.6 rebounds. And if graduates this spring, as expected, he wouldn't have to sit out at a new school. The speculation is that he will wind up at Indiana State where his younger brother, Alex, is a freshman.
"Austin told me this past Saturday night that he would like to take advantage of graduating in May and continue to play by relocating to another University," Crean said. "He is going to be a three-year graduate and wants an opportunity to look for somewhere he can have a larger role. Even though that is his choice, we are going to miss him. He is a fine young man."
Etherington said: "I will forever be a Hoosier at heart and will always cherish the memories and friendships I have made at IU."
Indiana already was losing four seniors – Will Sheehey, Evan Gordon, Jeff Howard and Taylor Wayer. Freshman center Luke Fischer also left the program in December so he could play closer to home at Marquette.
It's also unclear whether freshman forward Collin Hartman will be ready to play when fall practice starts after he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a workout March 15.

Well, thats about the time when my life was turned upside down. One of the jews pulled me by my hair onto the ground and the others started SLAMMING giant frozen turkeys onto my feet and leg area and one of them eventually crushed my foot and broke it in 3 places. The pain was absolutely excrutiating and I SCREAMED so loud the manager came over and pulled me out of the melee. I'm just sitting in emergency awaiting my release and pain medications

The Karl Rove vs. Teabagger fracas is a ton of fun to watch. But, as Charles Blow writes, "The skirmish speaks to a broader problem: a party that has lost its way and can't rally around a unified, coherent vision of what it wants to be when it grows up."
Josh Marshall published a letter from a one-time GOP staffer that is very much worth reading. The letter writer points out that for all the drama and angst and name calling going on, the GOP establishment and the baggers really aren't that far apart on issues. What's really eating them is something else.
Neither side in this putative civil war has been willing to reckon honestly with the consequences of the Bush administration for the country (substantively) or the Republican Party (politically). Both do their best to present their views to the public as if the last Republican President had never existed. This has left both groups of activists somewhat unmoored; in politics, you talk ideology and principles when you can't brag about accomplishments, because voters are a lot better at relating the latter to their own lives.
Since neither the Tea Party types or the big donors and the campaign operatives working for them are thinking of repudiating a Republican administration that lost two wars and wrecked the economy, they are left to air their differences on issues no one besides campaign junkies cares about. The self-styled conservatives complain that Rove and his people say mean things about them; the moneybags wing is dedicated to recruiting candidates who will avoid gaffes. Big deal.
They are not only not repudiating Dubya for the bad consequences; they are not even willing to admit there were bad consequences. And, Steve M says, why would they? Their "ideas" are still considered the mainstream.
Yes, the tax cuts are unsustainable, but they're now sacrosanct — Republicans wanted to make them all permanent, while Democrats have insisted on locking them in for everyone but the rich. Government-sanctioned torture, once unthinkable, is now celebrated in movies and on TV, and much of what's worst about America's post-9/11 foreign policy — Gitmo, rendition, indefinite detention — is still in place. In fact, Republicans are talking about Chuck Hagel as if the neocons were right about Al Qaeda and Iraq, and are right about Iran right now — and they're getting away with it, because not enough Americans have learned to feel disgust for them.
(Regarding the Hagel hearings, I doubt most Americans were paying that much attention. Probably many of wouldn't know whether "Chuck Hagel" was a former senator or Roy Rogers' sidekick. But a majority have figured out Iraq was a mistake.)
So stock up on popcorn, folks. This show ain't gonna be over anytime soon.

Isn't "non stetur", meaning "it should not be kept/let stand", perfectly fine and grammatical here?E. Gooder, [i]Latin for Local History: an Introduction[/i], 1961, pp.53, 54, wrote:Ballivus presentat quod Johannes Mokes habet unum lymepitt stantem infra burgum ad grave nocumentum vicinorum, ideo preceptum est quod de cetero non stetur, set omnino amoveatur, sub pena xls.
The bailiff presents that J.M. has a lime-pit standing within the borough, to the grave hurt of the neighbours. Therefore it is ordered that from henceforth it is not allowed-to-stand (ungrammatical use of the passive of this verb, with meaning indicated by context), but that it is removed entirely—under pain of 40s (i..e., for non-removal).
Nonnè est hîc usus per "non stetur" bonus et approbatus?

Anyway, this list and the artwork next door was something I put together about five years ago as part of a mix CD I'd made for a friend.
You can see that I took the idea of putting together 100 records worth of rock history seriously--to a certain extent. Dig the Yes-antecedents disc, or the Metallica-influence one. Check out the No New York platter. Scholarly if I do say so myself.
Other shit, however, is just for laughs. Mudhoney, Mudvayne, ha! That cracks me up every time. And of course, the cover/theme.
Ah, but enough blowing of my own horn. Check it out, you should find it as thought-provoking--and as funny--as those other guys' lists.

McCain v. The Media, cont.
Hill reporters seem to be testing Sen. John McCain's patience.
Yesterday, Sen. McCain told a reporter that his question was "one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard."
Today, when asked by CNN's Ted Barrett why he had missed a classified briefing on the attack in Benghazi, Libya, he responded thusly:
"I have no comment about my schedule and I'm not going to comment on how I spend my time to the media."
Asked why he wouldn't comment, McCain grew agitated: "Because I have the right as a senator to have no comment and who the hell are you to tell me I can or not?"
When CNN noted that McCain had missed a key meeting on a subject the senator has been intensely upset about, McCain said, "I'm upset that you keep badgering me."

Mitt Romney chugged ahead Thursday as the conservative-fueled drive to deny him the Republican presidential nomination reached a difficult new phase: Once-surging rivals Rick Perry and Herman Cain scrambled to control serious damage, while an old face sought new ways to exploit their problems.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich could emerge as the newest hope for conservative activists who doubt Romney's commitment to their priorities. But Gingrich trails Romney and others in organizing in key states such as Iowa. And he will have to prove that his long and sometimes troubled political history can withstand closer scrutiny.
Meanwhile, Texas Gov. Perry rearranged his schedule Thursday to try to mitigate a disastrous debate moment, in which he could not remember the third federal agency he has vowed to abolish. Perry canceled a Tennessee fundraiser to appear on several TV networks and the David Letterman show, pledging to stay in the race.
He repeatedly said he "stepped in it" at the Wednesday night debate but declared in an interview, "This ain't a day for quitting nothing."
For Cain, the former pizza company executive, it was day 11 of trying to get beyond sexual harassment accusations leveled against him by four women, two of whom received cash settlements from a trade association Cain once headed.
Facing voters for the first time since the allegations emerged, Cain met with tea party groups in Michigan, hoping the friendly settings would preserve the lofty perch he enjoyed in GOP polls two weeks ago.
"How you beat Obama? Beat him with a Cain!" he told one supporter at a crowded diner in Ypsilanti. The crowd cheered.
He is airing his first TV ad in Iowa, and he has hired a new lawyer who is warning women they will be scrutinized for any charges made against the candidate.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, stayed out of the public eye Thursday, although he blasted President Barack Obama's Iran policy in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece. His supporters quietly reveled in the good fortune of Perry's and Cain's woes.
With the Iowa caucus set for Jan. 3, and the New Hampshire primary a week after that, Romney is looking strong, but he's hardly home free. Many conservatives still resent his past support of legalized abortion and gay rights, and his requirement that all Massachusetts residents obtain health insurance.
But they have failed to coalesce around a single alternative. Rep. Michele Bachmann briefly topped the polls, followed by Perry and then Cain. It's unclear whether Cain can hold his position.
Some Republican insiders feel the next opportunity falls to Gingrich, the fiery Georgian who led the party's 1994 takeover of the House (after 40 years in the minority), only to lose support in tax and budget showdowns with President Bill Clinton.
With Romney widely seen as the front-runner in New Hampshire, a rival must do well in Iowa to surpass him. Gingrich is popular with many Iowa Republicans, and he drew good reviews for his speech at a large dinner in Des Moines last week.
But he has little structure in place for the organizationally intensive caucuses, which require people to show up for gatherings on a mid-winter night. Gingrich has not done much of the retail-level campaigning seen by past successful caucus candidates. His schedule in the next 10 days shows him visiting the state to promote a movie he produced with his wife and participate in a multi-candidate event aimed at social conservative activists
Gingrich has had no paid staff in Iowa since a mass exodus of his campaign team in June. He plans to name a staff and open campaign headquarters in Iowa soon,
"What I'm seeing now is a real surge of energy" for Gingrich, said supporter Linda Upmeyer, Iowa's House majority leader. "The bright, shiny things have come and gone, and now people are focusing on a decision. Time is approaching, and we need to get busy. But the energy behind Newt is growing at the right time."
A key question is whether Romney will see Cain's and Perry's problems as a chance to make a big push in Iowa. A win there would make him the prohibitive favorite. But to fare poorly after raising expectations would echo his disappointing Iowa performance four years ago.
He has kept a low profile there so far this year, visiting the state only four times. But a small core of advisers and staff keeps in close touch with key elements of the Iowa network he assembled in 2007.
Romney's Iowa visits have been to counties he carried four years ago. He has phoned activists and held multiple question-and-answer conference calls that included thousands of potential voters.
The aim of the lower-profile campaign has been to suppress expectations, which got away from Romney four years ago as he waged a $10 million campaign only to lose to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Sen. John McCain then won the New Hampshire primary, and eventually the nomination.
This year, Romney has been the most consistent poll leader in Iowa without pulling away. The Des Moines Register's late-October survey showed Romney with 22 percent, narrowly trailing Cain.
Romney has a healthy contingent of precinct-level caucus leaders, an edge over many of his rivals. He has sponsored phone calls criticizing Perry's position on immigration. He plans more telephone town-hall meetings and is moving closer to airing advertisements for the campaign's closing weeks.
However, Romney has avoided multi-candidate forums in Iowa. He is not expected to participate in an event sponsored by a social conservative group in Des Moines on Nov. 19, or the evening fundraiser for Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad the same evening. Several other candidates are expected at both events.

A political scientist specializing in Latin America, Dr. Rosenberg is the first FIU faculty member to ascend to the university's presidency; he has more than 35 years of higher education experience.
Under his leadership as president, FIU has increased enrollment to almost 50,000. From 2005 to 2008, Dr. Rosenberg served as chancellor for the Board of Governors of the State University System of Florida. As chancellor, Dr. Rosenberg led the system's strategic development and financial planning and policy initiatives, working closely with Gov. Charlie Crist and the legislature to secure support for SUS priorities. The SUS currently enrolls more than 320,000 students, employs more than 12,000 faculty and operates a $3.4 billion state budget allocation.
Prior to becoming chancellor, Dr. Rosenberg was integrally involved in the expansion and development of FIU into a major public research university. As Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs from 1998 to 2005, Dr. Rosenberg spearheaded the establishment of a law school in 2002 and a medical school in 2006. Under his leadership, FIU increased enrollment, implemented major campus construction projects, and was invited to join the select national honor society Phi Beta Kappa.

Entropy and Reidentification
Paul Ohm's recent paper about the failures of anonymization brought to light some very compelling arguments against the practice. The goal of anonymization is to remove personally identifying details without removing other usefulness from a dataset. As an example, a company might take out names, social security numbers, day and month of birth, street address and credit card information from their customer dataset, but leave purchase history. Such an anonymized dataset might be useful to a marketing partner to identify trends in some generalized demographics that could help them to make more effective decisions in marketing products to future and returning customers.
Ohm's paper highlighted some recent failures involving publicized datasets that had been anonymized to protect individual identity. Organizations have recognized that privacy is important and the current legislation has supported anonymization as an appropriate method to reduce the risk of identification while allowing collected data to be shared. However, Ohm concludes that both the results of anonymization and the protections afforded by leading legislative efforts have not lived up to expectations of effectiveness. If the research holds true, this could significantly alter privacy regulation as we know it.
One case Ohm describes involved the failure of Netflix's anonymization efforts to prevent individual reidentification. Researchers were able to take such an anonymized dataset and extract individual identity using movie ratings. By combining the Netflix dataset with a publicly available dataset from IMDb.com, the researchers were able to see patterns in movie ratings from Netflix and movie reviews on IMDb. This led to significant certainty in correlating individual identities between the two datasets. This brings up the point that while one data set may seem randomized (i.e. movie rental histories of individuals), if there exists another source for correlating this data (i.e. movie recommend choices grouped elsewhere) the initial set may not be invulnerable to reidentification.
This creates some possible legislative problems. The challenges of balancing the benefits of release of information against the potential harm caused by identification have been handled by protecting those who anonymize. But if anonymization is not effective, then the laws established for protecting personally identifying information (PII) are significantly weakened. Under HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), anonymized health records data is not regulated; under the European Union's Data Privacy Directive (DPD), organizations must follow careful handling, processing, and storage guidelines for any data that can directly or indirectly identify individuals.
The key to this reidentification is entropy. In information theory, entropy represents the amount of uncertainty about an unknown value. The goal of anonymization is to increase the entropy of a dataset as high as possible without reducing the usefulness of the resulting anonymized set. But by correlating multiple datasets, it is possible to identify patterns and reduce the amount of entropy, and in many cases lead to high mathematical probability that individuals can be positively and confidently identified. The more information that can be gathered to compare and combine, the more likely that identity can be extracted.
In both HIPAA and the DPD, the threat of reidentification through entropy reduction makes a compelling case that anonymization could be subject to spectacular failures. Under HIPAA, no regulations are applied to data that is effectively protected — and while the HIPAA rules absolve anonymized data, this research suggests that anonymization is not a suitable safeguard. Under the DPD, all data that could result in the reidentification of an individual must be protected, including things like movie reviews that do not appear, at first glance, to be personally identifying.
Yet one could make the case that after some as-yet-undefined threshold, any data that reduces the entropy of a dataset could be personally identifying. The potential for reidentification through the presence of "sufficient" unique data would greatly increase the burden of data protection under the DPD. Classifying a threshold or an amount of sufficient entropy loss could be very difficult. Since a given data owner cannot possibly know what all other data owners collect regarding an individual, it will be nearly impossible to judge which items could be leveraged during the combination of different datasets and subsequent reidentification.
Ohm notes that anonymization is not the only method for legislatively balancing the benefits of information sharing with the need for privacy. However, the expectation with anonymization was that the burden on organizations would be relatively light compared to other methods. If privacy efforts and regulations adapt to these discoveries, the resulting controls for privacy protection may be much more difficult to implement than the practices that are generally accepted today.

|HIV Infections HCV Infections
|Drug: boceprevir Drug: raltegravir
|Phase 1
A considerable percentage of HIV infected patients is also infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). HIV/HCV co-infected patients are likely to simultaneously use treatment for their HIV infection as well as HCV treatment. Therefore, it is important to know if drug-drug interactions occur when combining those treatments.
Raltegravir is an HIV integrase inhibitor and approved by the FDA in 2007. Boceprevir is a potent HCV NS3 serine protease inhibitor and is currently in Phase III clinical development.
Combined use of boceprevir and raltegravir is not expected to give a major drug-drug interaction as raltegravir is not a CYP3A substrate and thus will not be affected by the strong inhibition of CYP3A by boceprevir. Raltegravir is metabolized by UGT but boceprevir is not known to influence UGT. However, recent data indicate that raltegravir is a P-gp substrate and boceprevir is a substrate and a moderate inhibitor of P-gp in vitro.
Even when no drug interaction is expected, it may be recommended to collect sufficient evidence that this is the case as in many cases un-expected drug-drug interactions have been observed in the past.
The current study is designed to evaluate the effect of steady state boceprevir on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of raltegravir and the safety profile when used in combination. Furthermore the effect of a single dose raltegravir is studied on the pharmacokinetics of steady state boceprevir in comparison with historical controls.

Which one would that have been?
A US Senator from Iowa held hearings concerning several of these televangelists, the ones who spread the so-called "prosperity gospel." Nothing came of it though and the matter was quietly dropped after several of them opened up their books. Very disappointing. Yet I do not think the government should step in and protect people from these crooks - it's a matter of free speech to me.
They are inherently evil. They say thing are so when they have absolutely no proof of the matter.
They are so easy to imitate. One hand raised clutching a bible and the other a mic walking back and forwards on a dais saying "praise the lord" or some other such drivel and having some stooge yelling out yessir! OK or the like. A bit of organ music and keeping the script in neo Jacobean English.
If it's Benny Hinn, the notorious "faith healer" you might want to start a campaign to have questions posed to him about his investigation by the US Internal Revenue Service (tax collectors), or the US Senate into his, and others of his ilks, fraudulent activities.

There are special delights in miniatures. My late friend Ivan Kats, a book dealer whose Connecticut farmhouse was packed floor to ceiling with old and rare books, delighted in showing me palm-sized catechisms from the 18th century.
Last year Karen Sue Smith gave me Thad Carhart's The Piano Shop on the Left Bank (Random House), a memoir by a middle-aged American writer who rediscovers the piano in Paris. As he tells his own story, he explores the secondhand piano business, piano construction, sounding boards, piano tuning, connoisseurship, teaching styles and more. Reading The Piano Shop was like sharing skills and pleasures of a good friend. Recently I was given another small book of similar pleasure, Paula Butturini's Keeping the Feast (Riverhead), a hymn to the humanizing powers of food.
As I was leaving brunch at Washington's Café DeLuxe a couple of weeks ago, I stopped to say hello to the columnist E. J. Dionne. E.J. greeted me saying, "Drew, I want you to meet a good friend—and you must read her book." And so I met Paula Butturini. She and her husband, John Tagliabue, and E.J. had been correspondents together in Rome in the 1980s. On the trip back to New York I read the book ravenously.
My quick engagement came naturally enough, since on my mother's side of the family I come from the same Italian-American food culture as Butturini and Tagliabue. Butturini has a prodigious memory for food that is matched only by that of the late Julia Child. But unlike Child's My Life in France (Knopf), Keeping the Feast did not leave me feeling overstuffed, because the discussions of ingredients, markets, cooking and shared meals are tied to a social context, life passages and beloved family members.
The paramount example may be Paula's narrative of her falling in love with John over late-night meals and conversations after they both had filed their stories. There was nothing conventionally romantic to her account, but it is so true and so human—genuine friendship flowering into love—that it strikes deep. What is more remarkable, however, is the burden of the book, the healing power of food during John's deep and prolonged depression.
In the fall of 1989, the Tagliabues were re-assigned to Warsaw just as Eastern Europe was breaking free of Communist oppression. On assignment in Prague, Paula was badly beaten by government thugs; a few weeks later, John was shot by a sniper in Romania. Physical recovery was followed by psychological depression. As both John and Paula were losing the person John once was, the comforts and rituals of food became a way to keep a grasp on life.
Later, after the birth of their daughter, Julia, in relating Italian baby-feeding habits, Butturini tells how her own mother force-fed her as a child to prevent her from growing unhealthily thin. The scenes summoned up memories of my own grandmother saving special morsels of meat for me or frying meatballs on Sunday mornings, offering them to me for the same reason, to strengthen a small, thin boy, with the half-order, half-plea, Mangia, figlio mio, mangia.
George W. Hunt, S.J. America's 11th editor in chief (1984–98), died on Feb. 25 after a short battle with cancer. Before serving as chief, he was literary editor. As James Martin, S.J., has written, Father Hunt's writing style was "graceful, elegant, measured." He was best known for his Of Many Things columns, where readers learned of his love of books and baseball. He produced a column every week in longhand and to exact length.
"Special delights in miniatures?" No! Call it "special delights in grandeurs!"
I enjoyed reading Fr. Drew Christiansen's walk through memory lane in "Many Things"
especially the "Mangia, figlio mio, mangia" part, more or less limpingly translated, "Eat my son, eat!"
Sounds like dinner years ago at my Italian sister-in-law's home, with lots of camaraderie, chianti galore and eat! eat! eat! Not in miniature amounts, but in Everestian peaks of everything and don't dare say, "No!" That word didn't exist.
Aint life grand? It seems to be the thing to do, to reminisce on how we grew (Fat?) Naw, in wisdom and grace of course. At my age, reminiscing is wonderful Thanks Fr. Christiansen!

With inflation a rising threat, nations around the world are trying to navigate a delicate task: containing that price pressure even as the linchpin US economy reels from the opposite challenge of a credit bust.
If all goes well, the global economy will muddle through.
But signs of how difficult this will be are all around. Rising unemployment in America, for example, shows that the risk of recession is real – and could potentially spread worldwide.
Global inflation is growing harder to ignore. Oil, which has become the main symbol of global inflation, traded at a new record Monday. And European inflation has reached highs never seen under the euro currency. By one new survey, 3 billion people – 42 percent of the world's population – are experiencing double-digit annual rises in consumer prices.
That's why many nations have begun to tighten their credit reins in an effort to curb inflation. This Thursday, forecasters expect the European Central Bank to join the battle by raising its interest rate. Sweden and Indonesia may do the same that day. Even the US Federal Reserve has been forced to consider a tighter policy.
"It's conceivable that the synchronized tightening by all these emerging economies and the European Central Bank [could] cause a global recession, which would bring oil prices down," says Ed Yardeni, an economist who heads Yardeni Research in Great Neck, N.Y.
For their part, central bankers are hoping to contain oil prices without causing a slump.
Mr. Yardeni predicts the world economy will trudge through the mess, with recession confined mainly to the American economy.
About the only thing economists see eye to eye on these days is that the path forward is lined with more challenges and uncertainties than a year ago.
On Monday, the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, sounded a cautionary note in its annual report.
"In the aftermath of a long credit-driven boom, it would not be surprising to see turmoil in financial markets, slowing real growth, and temporarily rising inflation," the report said. That mix "does appear to point to a deeper and more protracted global downturn than the consensus view seems to expect."
In this environment, a crucial question is: How many nations need to tighten monetary policy, and by how much?
Conflicting analyses
Some economists worry that the world's central banks have not yet awakened to the magnitude of the inflationary threat. Others say that the interest-rate moves under way, and those likely in the months ahead, will bring prices under control, assisted by the general weakening of economic growth.
Where the two sides agree is that monetary policy worldwide has been generally loose – and that this has been a major factor propelling fuel and food prices.
"However you want to measure … it's quite clear that monetary policy is very stimulative," says Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at Global Insight, a forecasting firm in Lexington, Mass.
For the first time, he says, an oil spike is being caused by rising demand in emerging-market nations. Many forecasters had expected that oil prices would retreat alongside slumping US demand, as had happened in the past.
This puts developing nations, and their central banks, in an important position in the current cycle.
"In the end, I think a lot of this has to fall on the emerging markets," Mr. Behravesh says. "They not only need to rein in their money-supply growth, but they also need to remove their subsidies" on energy use, he explains. Both policies have been inflationary.
From South Africa to India, many central banks have already raised interest rates. And some nations have reduced subsidies to consumers – including a major move by China recently.
Many nations are wary of changing policies too fast, given the risk of social instability as well as recession. But failing to act could also trigger a near-term slump – or an inflationary spiral that inflicts even greater damage on world economic growth.
Economists at investment bank Morgan Stanley found that about 50 nations show consumer prices up 10 percent or more from a year ago.
They warn that some central banks feel constrained, because they are focused on maintaining currency exchange rates against the US dollar. A weak dollar has caused loose monetary policy in nations with such "dollar-pegged" currencies.
Printing more currency
Central banks in these nations have to print more of their own currency to buy US dollars to hold exchange rates steady, explains Paul Kasriel, an economist at the Northern Trust Co. in Chicago. "That's not the only factor working here, but that is a factor," he says.
This is one reason that the Federal Reserve faces greater pressure to consider raising interest rates, even though the Fed has until recently been cutting rates to help the US economy out of a slump.
Mr. Kasriel says that other nations, not the Fed, should take the lead in fighting inflation. His reasoning: Even though the Fed's short-term interest rate is very low, at 2 percent, that doesn't mean that Fed policy is currently stimulative. Because of the economy's slowdown, the US money supply has actually been shrinking lately – and so has bank credit, a broader measure of the monetary situation.
"This is a full-blown credit crunch" domestically, Kasriel says, not an inflationary situation.
"If the Federal Reserve were to raise interest rates [now], that would send the economy into a deep recession," he says. But "it has to pay lip service to inflation."

Collagen is a key component in our hair, skin, nails and connective tissue, providing them with firmness and strength. From early adulthood onwards our body produces less and less collagen resulting in a net loss of 1% or more a year. As a result bones lose density, skin loses firmness and muscles lose strength.
The Revitalise range of collagen aims to help combat this problem. Made with types I and III collagen (in the form of collagen hydrolysate for easy absorption), this nutritional supplement should be taken in conjunction with a balanced diet. The range includes both pure collagen formulations as well as supplements, which combine additional ingredients to target specific needs.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Jason Witzberger and Matthew Harrington combined for eight out of MIT's 21 hits in its 15-7 victory over Fitchburg State College on Tuesday. Warren Bates tallied a game-high three RBI for the Engineers, who improve to 19-11 on the year.
Witzberger wasted no time earning his first hit when he posted a lead-off single to left field and then stole second. Harrington singled to shortstop which was followed by Witzberger stealing third. Wayne Duggan singled through the right side, scoring Witzberger and moving Harrington to third. Kyle Zeller's ground out to third base brought Harrington home and advanced Duggan to second.
Trailing 2-0 in the bottom half of the inning, Fitchburg State quickly cut the deficit in half. On the first pitch, Dustin Fredieu blasted a double to right field and then stole third. Andrew Kiewlicz hit a sacrifice fly to center field, which scored Fredieu. This would be the last run the Falcons would score until the fourth inning.
The Engineers extended their lead to 6-1 in the second inning. Aaron Kent hit a one-out single to third base and Witzberger singled down the left field line. Harrington doubled to center field, putting Witzberger on third and scoring Kent. On Duggan's fielder's choice, Harrington moved to third and Witzberger was out at home plate. On the throw to home, Duggan advanced to second. Kevin Wheeler cleared the bases with a double down the left field line and then Bates hit a RBI single.
After a scoreless third inning, MIT tacked on five more runs in the fourth. Harrington singled to right field and Duggan was walked. A single by Wheeler to shortstop loaded the bases. Bates recorded a two-RBI double to right center, which moved Wheeler to third. Ricky Tydus' second walk of the game led to a pitching change for Fitchburg State. Joseph Yurko knocked in a run with a single to left center. A foul out was followed by Kent earning a walk, which brought home Bates. Witzberger singled to short stop, scoring Tydus. The Engineers reached the top of the order but their bats were silenced as the next two batters struck out.
The Falcons added a pair of runs in their next at-bat when Chris Connolly hit a two-out single down the left field line and Fredieu homered to left field.
The Engineers continued to attack in the fifth as they pushed their advantage to 12-3. Wheeler earned a lead-off walk and then moved to second on a passed ball. Bates singled to shortstop, which advanced Wheeler to third and then scored on a throwing error by the shortstop.
The game remained scoreless until the top of the eighth. With two outs and a full count, Witzberger singled up the middle. Harrington posted his second RBI-double of the game with a blast to right center. Mark Boudreau came in to pinch hit for Duggan and was successful as he singled up the middle to score Harrington.
In the bottom half of the inning, Fitchburg State's Shawn Kinney doubled down the left field line and then advanced to third on a wild pitch. A fly out to center field was followed by a ground out to short stop, which scored Kinney.
Blaine Ziegler led off for MIT by reaching on a fielding error. Isaac Wu pinch hit for Tydus and reached on a fielder's choice. After a strike out, Greg Williams singled through the right side, advancing Wu to second. Kent posted a RBI-single for the Engineers' last run of the game. The Falcons tallied three runs in their last at-bats to set up the final score.
On the mound, Mike Batty allowed three runs and six hits while fanning two batters in 4.1 innings of work. Jay Turner came in for Batty and earned his fourth win of the season.

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. (Feb. 24, 2008) - Following its 17-point win at Campbell and Kennesaw State's upset at Jacksonville on Saturday, the ETSU women's basketball now control its own destiny for an Atlantic Sun regular season championship. A win Monday night at Gardner-Webb would at least guarantee the Lady Bucs a share of the crown for the time being (should ETSU win its last two games they will win the title outright). Tip is set for 7 p.m. inside Paul Porter Arena.
The task will not be an easy one tomorrow night as Gardner-Webb has been a pain in the Lady Buccaneer side since joining the A-Sun. The Runnin' Bulldogs swept ETSU back in 2005-06, but the Lady Bucs returned the favor by sweeping G-Webb a year ago. However, it was the same club that went into
If the Lady Buccaneer fans are unable to make the trip to
Below are more Lady Buccaneer notes on Monday's game:
About Gardner-Webb
Monday night will mark the final time ETSU and G-Webb face off against each other as A-Sun foes. The Runnin' Bulldogs are moving to the Big South next season.
Gardner-Webb was picked to finish fifth by the league coaches, and they are currently sitting in that exact spot in the conference. However, there are two teams sitting ahead of them that are not eligible for postseason play (KSU and FGCU), so they are holding onto the number three seed for the A-Sun tournament. The Runnin' Bulldogs have won three straight, four of their last five and stand 12-14, 8-5 in A-Sun play.
G-Webb is led by Margaret Roundtree's 13.3 points and 7.3 rebounds, along with Monique Hudson (11.5pts) and Laura Povilonyte (11.1pts/5.9reb). As a team, the Runnin' Bulldogs are hitting 41.1 percent of their shots and averaging 66.6 points per game. GWU is allowing the opposition to hit 41-percent of its shots and score 65.5 points.
The Series
Gardner-Webb has been a pain in ETSU's side since the Lady Bucs joined the Atlantic Sun. The Runnin' Bulldogs swept ETSU in 2005-06, but the Lady Buccaneers returned the favor a year ago. However, it was GWU who handed ETSU its only home loss in conference play this season, 82-71, back on Jan. 12, 2008. Three Runnin' Bulldog players scored in double figures as Monique Hudson led the way with 20, and G-Webb hit 11 more free throws (24 to 13). The Lady Bucs will look to even the series at three with a win inside Paul Porter Arena.
More About Saturday's Win at
The Lady Bucs took sole possession of first play in the A-Sun standings with their 17-point win over Campbell, 78-61 ... with Kennesaw State upsetting JU, 75-71, ETSU now holds a game and a half lead over both JU and FGCU ... freshman point guard Kami Phillips (Augusta, Ga.) set a new career high with her 11 assists ... ETSU outscored
Dishin' Them Out Like Candy!!!
Freshman point guard Kami Phillips has been getting things done over her last three games. The
What's At Stake?
A win tonight will give ETSU a share of the conference crown, marking the first time the Lady Bucs were conference champs since head coach Karen Kemp took over the reigns in 1994-95.
A Look Ahead
The Lady Bucs will go for the season sweep when they face USC Upstate Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. in

Research Interests
My central research interests lie in the field of behavioral ecology. I am focused on the ecology of amphibian communities using acoustic interactions, spatial relations, and various characteristics of breeding behavior to explore the dynamics of interspecific competition. The American bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) and green frog (R. clamitans) are sympatric throughout most of their native range and often share the same ponds. Their close phylogenetic relationship, sharing of permanent ponds during breeding season, and prolonged breeding systems make them an ideal system for the study of interspecific dynamics. I have focused my research on these dynamics to more fully understand the maintenance of territories and acoustic space in these species. I am mapping movement patterns of individual frogs on a daily and seasonal basis, evaluating changes in calling patterns and effort on several scales, and comparing the use and characteristics of microhabitats. I plan to extend my work into investigating these and other interactions in various types of habitats and on larger scales. Specific interactions of interest include exploring nesting behavior in ranid frogs and its characteristics, changes in mate acquisition strategies, differences in oviposition patterns across pond types and use of vegetation.
Teaching Philosophy
A teacher, at a very basic level, is someone who enlightens others with new knowledge. I believe that all great teachers have a multi-faceted approach to instruction. In fact, of all the teachers in whose classrooms I have been privileged to sit, the best ones stand out as having several teaching strategies in common. They all are enthusiastic about their subject matter, empathetic to student issues, available and approachable beyond classroom time, and encourage independence and interaction in students' work. Teaching, at its core, is all about guiding students to new knowledge, showing them how the knowledge is useful and providing for opportunities to apply that knowledge in practical ways outside the classroom setting. I work toward these goals with what I feel are the keys to my teaching success: enthusiasm, interaction, empathetic support, and approachability.

Schmeider fell ill Aug. 6 and has been in a coma ever since. He's being treated at Massachusetts General Hospital, but doctors are yet to pinpoint his ailment. Twenty-six rag ball teams, which were broken down to two leagues, 16 competitive and 10 non-competitive, battled one another until dusk.

Beware Of Serious Dangers Right Now With Flowing Waters
It seems that water attracts people. Mainly children, but also adults, want to get near or into the fascinating high waters all around us caused by the recent rains.
Beware of the dangers. That's the word from Sioux Falls Fire Rescue.
They want to remind the public of the dangers associated with fast-moving river waters.
The heavy rainfall our region received this week created fast-moving waters on the Big Sioux River and Skunk Creek along with flood waters in several locations. Sioux Falls Fire Rescue reminds citizens that it is dangerous to attempt to navigate waterways and cautions the public to avoid contact with these fast-moving waters.
They tell us to avoid driving through water as your vehicle may stall and leave you stranded in a potentially dangerous situation. Moving water over 6 inches can knock people off their feet, and water over 24 inches can push a vehicle off the road into deeper and potentially more dangerous water.
And most importantly, parents are encouraged to speak to their children about the dangers of swift and turbulent river currents and to avoid playing by or entering flood waters.

- Super-middleweight
DeGale 'close' to world title shot
James DeGale will face Dyah Davis when he makes his return to the ring at the Glow Arena, Bluewater on November 16.
DeGale will defend his WBC silver super-middleweight title against the American Davis, who lost out to WBC super-middleweight champion Sakio Bika last year.
"I see Davis as a really good test and I want to get in there and stick on a great performance for all the fans and do a good job on him," DeGale said.
"I know I'm only a couple of fights away from a world title, so I want to go in there and do a good job on him. But, that said, I'm not looking past Davis - I give everyone I face respect and this is no different.
"Let's be fair, he's been in with some top fighters, he's faced Bika, so if I get in there and do it better than him, I think I'm making a statement and it will show I am world-class."
Promoter Mick Hennessy is targeting a world title shot for DeGale, who he believes is close to establishing himself alongside the world elite.
"For me he's [Davis] obviously a world class, US super middleweight," Hennessy told the Daily Mail. "I think it's good for James to face that style of fighter at this stage of his career, to prepare him for the very best he'll face.
"It's a good gauge on the Bika fight, to see how James compares against that. James is very, very close to a world title fight. There's potential for the winner of [Carl] Froch versus [George] Groves, or [WBA champion] Andre Ward. But we'll look to take the fight that we think is the right one."
DeGale has enjoyed two victories in 2013; first he knocked out Sebastien Demers in Canada before seeing off Stjepan Bozic at the Bluewater in June.
