Lake Gosiute Creates Trona
Around 50 million years ago, Lake Gosiute began to form during the early-to-middle Eocene Epoch. Over 4 million years, the lake expanded and contracted, and changed from freshwater to saline. The lake also experienced tectonic changes and absorbed volcanic ash from northwest Wyoming and locations further west. All of these events contributed to conditions that deposited trona on the bottom of the lake in sedimentary beds up to 37 feet thick. Today, these trona beds are all that remain of Lake Gosiute.

Extent of Lake Gosiute
At its furthest reaches, Lake Gosiute many have covered 15,500 square miles and been slightly larger than Connecticut. At is smallest, the lake is estimated to have encompassed 4,000 square miles and been slightly smaller than the Island of Hawaii.

A theory is an explanation to make sense of our observations about the world. We test hypotheses and create theories that help us understand and explain the phenomena. According to Paternoster and Bachman (2001), theories should attempt to portray the world accurately and must “fit the facts.” Criminological theories focus on explaining the causes of crime. They explain why some people commit a crime, identify risk factors for committing a crime, and can focus on how and why certain laws are created and enforced. Sutherland (1934) has referred to criminology as the scientific study of breaking the law, making the law, and society’s reaction to those who break the law.  Besides making sense of our observations, theories also strive to make predictions. If we understand why crime is happening, we can formulate policies or programs to minimize it.
The building blocks of any theory are concepts. Crime, delinquency, and deviance are all concepts that need to be defined. We seek to explain these concepts with other concepts. For example, some theories may link crime with self-control. Self-control is another concept that needs to be defined. Once we define “crime” and “self-control”, we need to measure them. Operationalization is the process of determining how we will measure concepts, which are called variables. We could measure self-control in a number of different ways. For example, we could test a person’s ability to resist temptation (The Marshmallow Test). Once we test the relationship between two variables, we also need to make sure another variable is not affecting the results. Spuriousness is when a third variable is causing the other two. We know that ice cream sales and murder rates are positively correlated; when one goes up the other goes up. At first glance, someone may claim that ice cream is causing people to kill. However, what do you think might be a better explanation? Can you think of a third variable that might cause ice cream sales and murder rates to increase?
When we try to explain why crime occurs, we can look at it from many different perspectives. We can create macro-level explanations and micro-level explanations. Macro-level explanations focus on group rate differences. For example, why do some countries have more (or less) violent crime than others? Why do young people commit more crime than older people? Why do males commit more crime than females? Micro-level explanations center on differences among individuals. Macro-level explanations focus on societal structures while micro-level explanations focus on processual differences.
It’s “Just” a Theory Exercise
Many laypeople will give their opinions on the relationship between phenomenon based on their hunches or observations; these are not theories. A theory explains and interprets the facts. A proper scientific theory must be falsifiable. Criminologists who create theories test their hypotheses. Many times the theorist will modify his or her theory based on the research. Upon more and more investigation, those theories that have yet to be falsified become accepted as a valid description between the phenomenon.
Darwin’s theory of evolution has yet to be falsified. There are numerous unanswered questions, but as time goes by, scientists are discovering more and more evidence to support the theory.
When I was an undergraduate student, I majored in Psychology; I thought I was in control of everything about me. However, when I took my first criminology class, I realized the social environment also had an impact on who I was becoming. For example, I did not choose my parents, their income, how many siblings I had, or where I lived. Each of those had an impact on who I was and who I became friends with in my childhood. Most of my childhood friends, who are still my friends, may have been based solely on how far away they lived from my parents instead of their character, interests, or personality. What do you think?

A first kiss doesn't get any better than this!
Carrie Underwood made a young fan's dream come true Saturday when she gave his first kiss.
The 29-year-old country singer spotted 12-year-old Chase's "Will you be my first kiss?" sign in the audience of her Louisville, Ky. show and called him up on stage.
"He's got the jump on me. I was 14 when I had my very first kiss. Just so you know my husband [Mike Fisher] is somewhere in this building backstage, so he may be looking for you later," Underwood warned him. "How are we going to do this?"
"Lip to lip," Chase boldly said.
"This is the smartest kid ever!" Underwood, who has been married to hockey player Fisher for two years, exclaimed. "Alright, here we go. Close your eyes," she demanded.
And with that, the singer held Chase's hand and leaned in for a kiss ... lip to lip. You can see their smooch by watching the video here.
After the show, Underwood tweeted a photo of the big smooch and wrote, "Thanks, Chase, for the kiss and thanks Louisville for rocking so hard tonight! We had fun! Lip to lip."

Your are viewing a read-only archive of the old DiS boards. Please hit the Community button above to engage with the DiS !
is now on my Soulseek (photojonny)
only burned it to CD this morning to listen to it on my tube journey to work but realised I left my Discman at home. Fool.
I wish my Ipod still worked : (
If you like Sonic Youth wait until you can BUY the CD in the shops.
that I want to hear it now but will still buy it on day of release.
Songs will be played on the radio and on those video TV things.
Before all this internet stuff and when LPs weren't promoted three months in advance, we could enjoy the building anticipation of waiting for our favourite band's new record. Nowadays, such joy is denied.
the joy of having the album far out ways that, it would be like enjoying being hungry
Anticipation is a wonderful feeling to have, whether hunder, thirst, any imposed abstinence, and the satiation is so much more thrilling.
Replacing anticipation with instant gratification is without joy and reduces the seperation between humans and animals.
i've had the 'joy' of anticipating a new sonic youth album for a couple of years now I want to eat it.
which stations would those be?
Lots of shows on radio 1 for example.
I like on the commentary on their DVD, pretty much every video went along the lines of "Hmm yeah MTV didn't really like this one"
with Mr Traynor here. The craze for downloading records before they're released is indicative of the 'must have now, everything's disposable' culture that society seems to be based around these days. Music seems to be more of a commodity to be consumed rather than an artform to be anticipated & appreciated. If everyone who downloaded, for example, the Islands record waited until it came out and bought it after a few months of anticipation, I bet that firstly, it would sound better, secondly, interesting discussion on the merits of the record would be generated, and thirdly, the record would have more longevity in the mind of the listener. This was the only record I've ever downloaded in advance and through that experience I would never download a leaked record ever again.
What, first things first no amount of time could save the islands record. secondly aren't commodities something that is traded for money, like a traditional CD rather than downloads which are shared. People who love bands music just want to listen to it as soon as they can, how could this considered anything but appriciating music.
would be played on 120 Minutes a fair few times.
Culture, upbringing, personal environment?
But why does downloading an album make someone soulless?
is apparent in the refusal to enjoy the pleasures of anticipation, longing, yearning - all of which are features of being human and to be indulged not denied.
Your argument is retarded, it's not like I can conjure up a new sonic youth album when ever I want one, and I do enjoy looking forward to getting the new one therefore when it becomes availible to me i'll get it thats the whole point of looking forward to something, if i didn't get it as soon as I could it would mean I couldn't of wanted it very much and the anticipation would have been meaningless
Some hold in their wee for hours to feel the release when they finally go to the toilet. I can only assume it's a similar thing in this instance.
If someone wants to download it before it is released, what's the problem? Why do there have to be rules about this? It's just music! It's not important in the grand scheme of things. JEEZUS.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to the toilet.
on how much you normally enjoy urinating.
with Mr_JDTraynor wholeheartedly on this one. Leaked copies really ruin the magic of new releases for everyone. Like Bitter Tea by the Furnaces came out on Monday and I've been looking forward to it since before this time last year. Because it leaked though and everyone on the band's message boards was going on about it constantly the magic of finally getting the package in my hands was pretty significantly reduced even though I waited. I wish people just kept these leaks to themselves if they are desperate enough to need them.
not forcing people to download it, simply informing that those who want to hear it, can do.
you could just not read about new albums before they come out.
I've never really cared about packaging and artwork etc. for me the album is the songs, when ever I buy a cd I normally take it out put it on the pile and throw the box aside never to be seen again.
you are so depraved
conors label team love makes all it's release available for free via the website. I guess the argument is the more people who listen the more turn up at shows which is how most bands make most of their money.
make sure you savior the feeling before you throw up
'sharing' music for nothing, I think it devalues it to the listener. It makes it disposable, consumerable, wam bam thank you mam and on to the next one. I'm not against downloading per se, but I think that downloading an anticipated record before it's release because it's been leaked, even if you're gonna buy it anyway, means you lose that anticipation which is all part & parcel of enjoying music in my book. It's like peeking at your presents a week before christmas. then when christmas comes, you know what you're getting so you're already thinking about what you want for next year or whatever.
Well for me, music was pretty much dead to me until about 2003, downloading has got me into more music than ever before and I think it's better than it's ever been, consumerable = people enjoying it, disposible I don't agree at all I don't discarde old music when new comes along. And as for sneaking a look at presents a week early (i always did but any way) it is not like that it is like moving christmas to a week earlyier
really fucking good
and it seems very good. Although the song "The Neutral" is very close to "Love Will Tear Us Apart".

A girl has recently gone viral after going to a KFC store while wearing just a duster ‘pambahay’ dress, the term used by Filipinos to mean clothes used at home (bahay). It turned out her friends had pranked her.
In her post on Facebook, Sydney Eusebio shared some photos as well as her text conversation with her friends. She narrated how they invited to her to a ‘food trip’. When she told them she was just wearing a duster ‘pambahay’ dress, they told her it was alright.
Thinking they were just going to eat some street food or snacks at a nearby carinderia, she didn’t bother going home to get dressed up as she was at her grandma’s house at the time – and something tells us they’ve done this before.
But when she met up with her friends, they didn’t go to the carinderia or the streetfood stall but actually went to KFC! LOL.
Can you imagine going to a fastfood outlet or some other popular restaurant just wearing ‘pambahay’? Well, that might have been a bit alright if her friends were also wearing similar outfits but because they were in casual attire, she looked rather out of place with them and in that KFC store.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, the downcast Sydney couldn’t help but pout as her friends took photos while they ordered food.
While taking the tray of food they bought to their table, Sydney lamented how she felt like a maid of her payday who was ready to go to the fastfood to celebrate even without changing her clothes.
Because they wanted more gravy, her friends teased her to get more but she insisted they do it as the guard might ask her to get out, thinking she was some beggar trying to steal some gravy.
But she wasn’t really angry at her friends for the prank. She eventually warmed up to their prank and asked for a photo to be taken with their food, making up a joke caption to match the picture.
“Ganito mga magandang maicaption eh “around 3:30pm kanina. Nakita nila ko sa may labas, Pinakain nila ko. Sobrang thankful po ako sa mga taong handang tumulong kagaya nila. Ngayon lang ako nakakain ng fries at flavor shots ba yun.” HAAHAHAHAHHA di ko talaga kinaya sumisigaw sa pagka light green eh no galet na galet ang daster.”
That was fun! Have you tried going to a restaurant or fastfood outlet while wearing pambahay?

The recurring theme of forced work for the unemployed.
Concentration camps have always existed. Every time that capital feels the need to get rid of some of the labour-force commodity, proletarians are gathered into camps and forced to work. First this is to keep them under control, to prevent them from organising themselves against unemployment and growing poverty. Secondly, as is the case in Italy today with the huge influx of "refugees", it is to avoid having thousands of proletarians roaming about as they might upset the balance of the fragile social peace still reigning in the country. Eventually, when war generalises and death itself becomes "normal", it is a matter of purely and simply liquidating those now useless, dangerous and expensive masses. That is what happened all across Europe only 60 years ago.
Today we are feeling the first symptoms. All over Europe so-called illegal immigrants, refugees, boat people, are locked up. Proposals have been put forward for forced labour for the unemployed. In Southern Italy there has been large scale imprisonment of proletarians and the same in France, albeit on a smaller scale. However, violence is always the same: in Pescara the Italian Navy sank a boat full of refugees from Albania, in Belgium the cops killed Samira Adamu by suffocating her with a cushion because she refused to be expelled.
Today, mostly in the West, democracy (another name for capitalist exploitation) has founded its justification on anti-fascism. It promotes the memory of the atrocities perpetrated by fascism to better ensure that crimes committed by the anti-fascist camp will be forgotten (1). This is, in fact, customary for any "victor" in imperialist war. The victorious side only publicises the barbarities committed by the defeated side.
The information below is from the Sunday Times (9/9/1998) and is another example of labour camps which were built before the so-called Second World War and which could well have inspired the Nazis.
Between 1929 and 1939, under the government of the very socialist Ramsay MacDonald, 25 secret concentration camps were built in the most remote areas of England and more than 200,000 unemployed men were sent to these camps and put to work at hard labour. The men, who were interned in the centres for three-month periods, worked for up to nine hours a day, forced by gang marshalls to break stones, build roads and cut down trees (2). The Sunday Times reports that, when they arrived at the camps, the men were issued with hob-nailed boots and a pair of corduroy trousers before being assigned to a wooden hut dormitory. The men who refused to go to the camps were told their benefit would be stopped once and for all.
It was Sir MacDonald, vanguard socialist in the service of capital, who had this brilliant idea of submitting unemployed proletarians to 3 months of such hideous living conditions and slavery that they would never refuse a job again, even the most vile.
The end of the twenties and the thirties were years of worldwide crisis. Governments obliged the excess labour force - the unemployed - to remain mobilised by imposing forced labour on them, aiming to rid the cities of the emerging agitation. The so-called Second World War, which sent hundreds of thousands of proletarians to the front line, was the fulfilment of this massive clean-up operation. However, for the ten years prior to the war preparations were being made. Concentration camps in England provided very cheap labour and considerably decreased unemployment figures. The proletariat was placed under control and enroled into the labour camps by force before being sent to the army.
Although all the governmental reports "disappeared", some of the prisoners, who are more than 80 years old now, confirm that there were concentration camps, camps of slavery and terror. "The treatment the inmates received was degrading and inhumane. When I look back I realise that the way we were treated was not much different from the way the Nazis treated people" recalls Willie Eccles, who was sent for three months to the camp at Glenbranter when he was 18.
"They were like chain gangs without the chains. It was slave labour. They used to stand over us and bawl and shout at us to work harder, but we used to work hard anyway just to keep warm. None of us wanted to go there but we were forced to." adds Charles Ward, 85, who in 1932 was also sent to a camp for three months.
This policy was called the New Deal (Roosevelt went on to borrow this term and to use it in the USA) and it has recently been put on the agenda in Britain by the very socialist Tony Blair.
Blair's New Deal says that all the unemployed under the age of 25 will lose their employment benefit if they refuse offers of a job. That is to say that, whatever the wage and the working conditions proposed, they have to accept, without question or any demands.
The rule, today as much as yesterday, is "shut up and accept it" if we don't want to die of hunger.
Today, as much as yesterday, the same capitalist causes produce the same camps...
Be it in Italy, Israel and maybe soon in England, the state's concern is always the same: to force the proletariat by terror to submit silently to the successive attacks of this system of misery and death.
If they could throw us into the sea, we would have become fishfood a long time ago. But they cannot (3). Therefore, we are imprisoned in concentration camps, labour camps, refugee camps, detention centres,... They don't give food, they make us docile and stupid in order for us to leave, a flower in our gun, for the next generalised massacre.
However, we proletarians today, devalorised, impoverished, sacrificed on the alter of value, are not powerless. Throughout the world, in a sporadic and non-centralised way, our class resists, rebels, deserts, sabotages,...
We are rich with the historic experiences of our class. Let's reappropriate the collective memory of our struggles of yesterday and centralise our fights of today. Let's organise to put an end to this system that feeds itself on our blood!
It is only for capital that we are excess proletarians; for communism, "proletarian" goes with "revolutionary"!
Let's destroy the monster that is destroying us!
Death to capital!
Long live Communism!
1. eg. the concentration camps in France during the Popular Front, those of the Spanish Republic or the American ones where all the Japanese living on American territory were imprisoned.
2. Cf. In Ireland, at the same period, to prevent starving proletarians from thinking, the government constrained them to build roads leading nowhere. Those roads were named the "famine roads".
3. Although this proposition was seriously made by the some members of the Israeli government to get rid of the "Palestinians".


How could Sindhurakshak sink: Parl panel asks Navy
A baffled Parliamentary panel has asked the navy how could INS Sindhurakshak, a Kilo-class submarine, explode and sink within months of undergoing a costly upgrade in Russia.india Updated: Feb 18, 2014 23:11 IST
A baffled Parliamentary panel has asked the navy how could INS Sindhurakshak, a kilo-class submarine, explode and sink within months of undergoing a costly upgrade in Russia.
The 2,300-tonne fully-armed boat sank at a Mumbai harbour on August 14, 2013, barely seven months after it was overhauled at the Zvezdochka shipyard, part of the Unified Shipbuilding Corporation.
HT was first to raise questions about the quality of upgrade the warship underwent in Russia before it was handed over to the navy in January 2013. The upgrade was carried out at a cost of more than Rs 815 crore.
In a report tabled in Lok Sabha Tuesday, the Parliamentary standing committee on defence asked the navy to take steps to reduce mishaps and protect the lives of trained crew --- 18 personnel were killed when the submarine went down.
The panel also asked the force to take measures to safeguard "sophisticated machines." It asked the navy to pinpoint the cause of the accident, as such incidents "would be catastrophic and adversely affect the morale of naval personnel" on other warships.
The Russian-origin warship is still nose-down in water, with the navy recently awarding a Rs 240-crore contract to a US firm for salvaging the warship.
The Russian shipyard that upgraded the submarine under a 2010 contract had claimed it had installed advanced weapons and systems to enhance the boat's combat capability.
The mid-life upgrade on the warship --- the ninth in a series of 10 Kilo-class undersea killers bought from Russia ---- was intended to increase the life of the vessel by at least 10 years.
The submarine underwent an overhaul there for nearly 18 months. A modern Club-S missile system was installed on the submarine along with more than 10 foreign and Indian systems. The Russian shipyard has modernised five conventional Indian Navy submarines since 1997.
After the INS Sindhurakshak accident, defence minister AK Antony had asked the navy brass to "optimally operate" the country's assets and ensure these were not "frittered away."
Meanwhile, the Comptroller and Auditor General on Monday picked holes in the navy's refit management, arguing that "considerable delays" in carrying out repairs had led to warships not being available for operational roles.

Hard disk storage has been around since 1956 with the advent of the IBM 350, which used 50 24in platters to store 5 million 6-bit characters (3.75MB of data), providing much faster access to data than was possible from loading punch cards. While we now store 1 million times that much data on a 3.5in drive, the basic issues of data storage are the same as they were 60 years ago: capacity, speed, reliability and recoverability.
One of the common features now found in disk storage is RAID. RAID comes in several flavors — RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5, RAID 6 — each of which takes a different approach to the issues of speed and recoverability. This article describes the types of RAID; the newest method, RAID 6; and some hybrids.
What is RAID?
In 1987, with disk prices falling to less than $20/MB and capacity increasing into the hundreds of MB, David Peterson, Garth Gibson and Randy Katz of UC Berkeley’s Computer Science Division published a paper, “A Case for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID)” (www.cs.cmu.edu/~garth/RAIDpaper/Patterson88.pdf), which laid out five methods for improving reliability and speed by storing data across multiple disks. Although the word “inexpensive” has since been replaced with “independent,” the numbering system for levels of RAID described in the paper remains in use.
As disk capacity rapidly increased, read/write speeds did not keep up, an issue that persists to this day. To improve I/O, RAID stripes the data in a file across multiple disks, allowing several heads to simultaneously read or write portions of the data. Read and write speeds then become a multiple of the number of disks used, rather than being limited to the speed of a single head.
Striping the data across several disks, however, increases the chances of data loss. When a file is stored on a single disk, the data is lost when that one disk fails. When the data is striped across four disks, the data is lost if any of those four disks fails. RAID addresses this in two ways: by storing multiple copies of a file on multiple disks or by calculating parity data and storing it on a separate disk, which can then be used to reconstruct data lost by a disk failure. RAID is designed for recovery from a disk failure, not to recover individual files and so does not replace backup. However, it does operate in real time, so the data is current as of the point of failure.
Vendors take different approaches to RAID, implementing it in a storage array, in software or in the storage controller. No standards body defines the RAID levels or certifies vendors’ implementations.
Types of RAID
In addition to the original five RAID levels described by Peterson, et al, developers have created several others over the years, including some proprietary versions such as RAID-S, which EMC developed for its Symmetrix storage systems.
The RAID levels commonly in use today are:
- RAID 0. Designed purely for speed, RAID 0 splits the data evenly across multiple disks without any type of parity information or data redundancy. For applications such as file serving or video streaming where a backup copy exists elsewhere, RAID 0 provides quicker access and higher data rates than a single disk. Do not use it for storing the only copy of a file. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1. RAID 0 splits data evenly across multiple disks without parity information or redundancy.
- RAID 1. RAID 1 takes the opposite approach to RAID 0 — redundancy, not speed. RAID 1 doesn’t stripe the data across disks, but creates complete mirrored copies on separate disks. If one disk fails, the other disk takes over. It is useful for applications where redundancy is paramount, and a single disk, perhaps supplemented by a cache, can write fast enough. Read speeds, however, are faster than a single disk since both disks can read simultaneously. (See Figure 2.)
Figure 2. RAID 1 mirrors data across multiple disks, emphasizing redundancy over speed.
- RAID 3. RAID 3 requires a minimum of three disks. It stripes the data at the byte level across two or more of the disks and uses a separate disk to store the parity information generated by the controller. RAID 3 is seldom used for applications with a lot of small data requests, but it performs well for large sequential data transfers, such as editing uncompressed video files.
- RAID 5. The most common RAID type, RAID 5 combines block-level disk striping with parity. Unlike RAID 3, which stores the parity data on a separate disk, RAID 5 stripes the parity information with the actual data. Under normal operations, the array doesn’t read the parity data. However, when there is a read failure, the array uses the parity information to reconstruct the missing information. (See Figure 3.)
Figure 3. RAID 5 combines block-level disk striping with parity data and can survive the loss of one disk.
- RAID 6. RAID 5 can withstand a loss of a single disk. RAID 6 uses two parity blocks per stripe instead of just one, allowing it to survive the loss of two disks. Even if a disk goes down during a rebuild, no data is lost. (See Figure 4.)
Figure 4. RAID 6 uses two parity blocks per stripe, so it can survive the loss of two disks.
- Hybrid RAID. RAID methods can also be combined or nested. The two most common hybrid RAID levels are RAID 10 (or 1+0) and RAID 01 (or 0+1). RAID 10 requires a minimum of four disks paired in two sets. The controller stripes the data across the disk pairs, but each disk in the pair is a mirror of the other. RAID 01 takes the opposite approach, striping the data across one set of disks which are mirrored to a second set. (See Figure 5.)
Figure 5. RAID 10 combines RAID 1 and 0 by striping data across two pairs of disks, where each disk in a pair is a mirror of the other.
RAID 6 for broadcast
Each of the RAID methods has its trade-offs in terms of available vs. total disk space, read/write speeds, reliability and processing overhead for computing parity. Banks and broadcasters don’t need the same level of RAID. Even different applications within the broadcast environment can use different RAID levels, such as RAID 0 for video streaming and RAID 3 for editing.
For simplicity, however, particularly when using shared storage, companies prefer to settle on a single technology to support. The standard has been RAID 5, but anyone who uses RAID 5 should consider RAID 6 at the next upgrade.
The problem with RAID is that disk capacity has far outstripped I/O and network speeds. In the Peterson paper, the authors are talking about a 100MB personal computer disk and a 7.5GB IBM mainframe disk array that filled 24 cubic feet. When RAID came out, even with the slower disks and networks, disks could still be rebuilt in minutes. With the multiterabyte drives in use today, restoration can take hours.
RAID 6 offers greater protection in the event of a failure, providing full service and allowing a rebuild even if a second disk goes down.

This writer went to university for four years in Manchester, England and, as such, is still physically unable to listen to one of the seminal bands from the city, The Stone Roses. Despite only recording two albums, one of which is rubbish, the band seemingly soundtrack every bar, club and restaurant in the city, and, even as a one time fan of the band, if we go the rest of our lives without ever hearing “I Am The Resurrection” again, we’ll be delighted.
But that’s not to say that the band didn’t have a major culture influence — their dance-inflected brand of indie rock coincided with the arrival of Ecstasy on British shores, and their self-titled debut album became the soundtrack to the so-called Second Summer of Love. Now, news comes, via Screen Daily, that a coming-of-age film is being set around the band’s most famous concert, and that one of the hottest young British directing prospects has been hired to helm the project.
The untitled film, which is being backed by Revolver Entertainment, follows a group of council estate kids, and a rising indie band, travelling to the band’s legendary gig on Spike Island, Cheshire, where 27,000 people gathered to see the Roses in May 1990. The script comes from actor-turned-writer Chris Coghill, and produced by Esther Douglas and Fiona Neilson of Fiesta Productions (“Life & Lyrics“). Most excitingly, Tom Green, unrelated to the “Freddy Got Fingered” star, will make his feature debut on the project.
Green broke through with his superb National Film and Television School short “Brixton ’85,” and has since become a regular director on the cult British superhero series “Misfits,” along with “The Scouting Book For Boys” director Tom Harper. He’s a hugely talented helmer, and we’re expecting something a cut above the rest from this as a result. Green gave a statement on the project, saying that “This is a raw and truly authentic rites of passage story. It’s full of the humour, heartache, dreams and fears of being part of a brotherhood of mates, and set to the greatest record ever written. The Roses died in ’95. This is the resurrection.”
The film has full rights to the band’s music, and there may be “the odd cameo” from members (frontman Ian Brown previously had an inexplicable appearance in Alfonso Cuaron‘s “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban“), and filming is set to begin in the first half of this year, for a release some time in 2012. Hopefully it’ll turn out more “This Is England” than “Taking Woodstock.” In the meantime, watch some of the excellent “Brixton 85” below.

BOICEVILLE - Trustees are continuing to bicker with administrators over budget details and, while approving a 2000-01 Onteora Central School District spending plan, they have delayed setting the property tax levy.
Discussions were conducted Monday during a school board meeting where trustees agreed to spend $34.33 million but declined to approve a tax warrant that will allow the district to collect most of its revenue.
A special meeting has been set for 7 p.m. Thursday to further review the tax levy.
Board members approved the spending plan after being assured funds within the budget could be shifted between line items, including those "favored" programs that were brought to the board's attention by Trustee Frederick Perry after private discussions with district staff members. Among the items being considered are a nurses aide at $17,703; musical instruments at $7,849 for the first year of a five-year lease; and $2,275 for the district drama club.
The requests for additional funding drew complaints from some board members and administrators, who noted the private talks circumvented a budget process that provides all officials equal access to information about the programs.
"Are you out making deals with people?" Superintendent Hal Rowe asked.
"This Board of Education has put this district in a place where you've invited employees to be coming to you directly with their wish lists," he said. "I'm not going to argue with you about it ... but that's not the way you build a school district budget."
Perry, who has been on the board for two months, insisted there were no private agreements, but did contend it was his duty to help solve particular fiscal shortfalls in the district.
"From what I understand, we have music teachers taking money out of their pockets to (repair) their equipment," he said. "To me that's unacceptable. As a parent, as a taxpayer, and as a school board member I think that's embarrassing."
Trustee Margaret Carey said the efforts to put additional spending in the budget violated guidelines from the state School Boards Association.
"It's throwing (the budget process) out and going by personal preference or who we know on the faculty in the schools that we've talked to, or our special interest," she said.
"I think that this board is in danger of throwing out all the known protocol that boards and superintendents work with," Carey said. "The first thing you learn when you go to a workshop ... is that school board members only have a relationship with the superintendent."

Youth in the Kimironko Sector, Gasabo District were yesterday afternoon sensitised on leadership skills by different local leaders, as part of the end-of-year celebrations at Casa Bonita Hall in Kimironko.
The function brought together over 500 youth who met with area leaders in an event that is celebrated annually. According to Esperance Nyirabuturinuma, the sector’s Social Affairs Secretary, the gathering was organised after the youth specifically requested to meet with their leaders and youth representatives in the area.
“Gatherings like these are a way to help youths develop their potential as leaders and at the same time opportunities for them to bring forward issues that directly affect them,” she said.
According to Nyirabuturinuma, before 2006, committees of youth leaders had been selected at district level countrywide by a team composed of representatives from the Gender and Family promotion Ministry and other organisations like UNICEF.
The selected youths get to meet with President Paul Kagame during the annually held youth’s summit. She continued that the youths’ later requested to vote for their own representatives at the Summit in elections that are held from the grassroots levels.
Each village (Umudugudu) in Gasabo District has a committee of youth made up of five leaders—the President, Vice President, Secretary and two advisers.
These further compete for the top five positions at the cell level that are voted to represent others at national level at the Summit.
Clothilde Mukeshimana, the in charge of welfare in Intashyo Village, said that there is need for youth to know the system of leadership from an early age as an important tool for development and progress in their lives.
“It’s a big problem when the youth do not know who their local leaders are. They will not be able to report cases of abuse in order for us to help them,” Mukeshimana said.
She urged the youth to know by name their representatives, all local leaders and also the names of their villages, cells and sectors in their district.
Seventeen-year old Asuma Ingabire, the Child President of Kimironko Sector, said that as child leaders, they are able to address the problems they face most especially street children, orphans and the poor.
“We always raise awareness on the plight of the vulnerable children to the higher authorities and to also educate our age mates about the dangers of HIV and the benefits of going to school as the leaders of tomorrow,” she said.

DeSoto County, MS - DeSoto County teachers went on a treasure hunt of sorts, thanks to the DeSoto County GIS Department. GIS Analyst Rob Winkler was invited to lead one of the sessions during a week-long Teacher Workshop hosted by the Desoto County Soil & Water Conservation District.
Winkler’s session focused on an outdoor recreational activity called geocaching. Participants use a GPS receiver or mobile device to find and/or hide containers called “caches” containing “treasure”.
Geocaching can also be a fun and interactive way to teach students of all ages about mapping, geography, and how GPS signals work. “Geocaching not only gets students excited to learn something new, it also encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills,” said Winkler.
During the workshop, teachers, armed with GPS units, used coordinates to find hidden treasures around the school. “It was a great workshop and we sincerely appreciate the support we receive from the County and the various departments. They always go above and beyond when asked to assist with our education programs,” said Meleiah Tyus, Information & Education Specialist, DeSoto County Soil & Water Conservation District
GIS stands for Geographic Information System which is a system for managing and displaying geographic data that can be used for analysis or map creation. The GIS Office manages and updates a variety of geographic data for the County, including addresses, roads, parcels (properties), subdivisions, rivers and streams, flood zones, voting districts, school districts, and more.
Winkler explained how many people use the technology every day without realizing it. “GIS is responsible for mapping the county which is then used by services such as Google maps,” said Winkler. “It’s also vital to virtually marking things such as manhole covers, drainage, and property lines.”
The GIS office recently launched the GIS Hub, a free one-stop shop for DeSoto County maps, web-mapping applications, geographic datasets, and statistics, all accessible from the DeSoto County website. Visitors to the GIS Hub can find an assortment of web mapping apps including maps for Church Locations, Elected Officials, Parks, and Trash Collection.
Visit the GIS Hub at https://desotocounty-dcms-gis.hub.arcgis.com. You can contact the GIS Department at email@example.com or 662-469-8019 for custom mapping requests.
The Desoto County Soil & Water Conservation District hosts educational workshops and community events throughout the year. You can check out the offerings on its website www.desotoswcd.com


Riverview has its first hip replacement via robotic arm system
Dr. Stephen Blackstock last week performed Riverview Regional Medical Center’s first MAKOplasty total hip replacement. The procedure uses the RIO system, a surgeon-controlled robotic arm system that uses a 3D model to ensure the accurate alignment and positioning of implants. Riverview has offered MAKOplasty partial knee resurfacing using the RIO system for more than two years.
“Getting implants positioned correctly is an important aspect in improving surgical outcomes and the lifespan of the implants used for hip replacement,” said Blackstock.
“The robotic arm technology enables us to more accurately achieve the biomechanical alignments that are planned to fit the patient’s unique anatomy.”
MAKOplasty Hip is designed to assist surgeons in attaining a new level of reproducible precision in surgery.

A new behavioral health court docket in Newport News will address the root causes of crimes committed by people suffering from mental illnesses
If you can’t do the time, then don’t do the crime.
The decades-old axiom summarizes our nation’s collective perspective toward courts, crimes and punishment. It is, however, out of date and out of touch with the nuances and realities of today’s criminal justice system. And it does not consider the crimes committed out of acts of compulsion or the mental capacities of the offender.
Luckily, judges and prosecutors are increasingly willing to consider alternative sentences and programs that do not only rely solely on prison guards and jail cells to mete out punishment.
The Newport News General District Court began overseeing a behavioral health docket in July that aims to ensure mentally ill offenders — charged only with minor, nonviolent crimes — are given ample opportunity to be treated for the underlying issues that may have contributed to their crimes.
Judges should be given more leeway to question a defendant’s state of mind during the crime and whether mental illness contributed to the offense.
Early indications suggest positive results are coming from the new docket.
Alternatives to jail should be considered in cases where the accused offender has a history of documented mental health issues and may even take medication to remedy their ailments.
That’s not to say defendants should be able to weasel their way out of jail time by faking mental illness.
But society must also recognize that prisons are not de facto behavioral health institutions.
Prison guards are not mental health counselors.
And the solitary existence of many jails is not conducive to treating patients whose mental illness makes them inclined to hurt themselves.
Sixty-eight percent of female jail inmates and 41 percent of males have been told by a mental health professional that they have a mental health disorder, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
Here in coastal Virginia, inmates from across the region who show signs of mental illness are sent to the Hampton Roads Regional Jail. The Portsmouth facility is routinely underfunded and understaffed as personnel attempt to provide services for these individuals.
The current situation makes it nearly impossible for prisoners there to receive the medical care they need while they are incarcerated.
Nationwide, a quarter of mentally ill people who died in jail were in isolation, according to a database compiled by our sister paper, the Virginian-Pilot.
That is why alternatives to incarceration that lean toward rehabilitating the mentally ill — rather than isolating and incapacitating them — are long overdue.
The Newport News docket receives substantial program support from the Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board, which provides services to those with mental illness, developmental diseases and addiction. The CSB must decide which defendants qualify, and in turn, defendants must also agree to participate.
The program requires periodic check-ins with the court to ensure compliance.
Officials in Newport News are willing to give this type of docket a try because it has worked elsewhere.
Nationwide, close to 400 adult and juvenile mental health courts report a recidivism rate of 10 to 15 percent, according to a review by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services. That significantly lower than recidivism rates of former general population prisoners. An estimated 68 percent of former prisoners were arrested within three years of their release, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
And compare those rates to the drug courts that have led many Virginians away from the darkness of addiction toward a brighter, healthier life. The recidivism rate of drug court graduates is about half or less than the re-arrest rates of non-drug court graduates, according to the Office of the Executive Secretary of the Supreme Court of Virginia.
The behavioral health program also has the potential to save the city money in the long-run.
The Newport News City Council budgeted $125,000 to launch the program in its inaugural year. Considering this nation spends an average of $34,000 to incarcerate each prisoner for one year, the initial cost for the docket is well worth the cost.
Ultimately, this new program will direct defendants along a path toward rehabilitation, rather than focusing solely on incarceration.
In 1949, Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black wrote in a majority opinion that punishment “should fit the offender and not merely the crime.”
In other words, methods for rehabilitation must be considered hand-in-hand with punishment for guilty parties.
That is why the behavioral health docket must be given a fair shot. And if it proves to be successful, Newport News should consider expanding its use, and other Peninsula localities must consider whether it would work in their court systems.


The company has applied to appoint three administrators from KMPG
British mall-owner Intu Properties has collapsed into administration after failing to agree to a reprieve from lenders.
The company, which owns nine of the United Kingdom’s top 20 malls, has applied to appoint three administrators from KMPG, said a statement on Friday. The shopping centres will continue to trade, it said.
Discussions have been ongoing with financial stakeholders to achieving standstill-based agreements, Intu said in the statement. However, insufficient alignment and agreement in relation to the terms of such standstill-based agreements has been achieved with financial stakeholders.
Intu warned last Friday that it would likely appoint administrators after failing to align its myriad creditors, and was now considering how to protect stakeholders. Its shares, which are now suspended, tumbled almost 70 per cent in London.
Intu was already reeling from plunging UK store rents and collapsing values before the virus outbreak forced most of its tenants to close. The lockdown made things worse as retailers withheld rent and the pandemic shut off rescue options including a capital raise, as Intu sought to reduce its £4.5 billion (S$7.74 billion) debt pile.
The administration threatens the jobs of about 2,500 Intu staff and of the thousands more who work in the stores inside its malls.
The company issued a warning last Tuesday, the day before rents for the next quarter were due, that it would require additional funding to keep the centres running in the event it was forced into administration.
The move paves the way for the potential sale of some of the UK’s most-visited malls. The company’s lenders have initiated talks with a range of asset managers to take over the running of its properties in the event it failed, React News reported last Thursday.
There remains a danger of a fire sale by administrators that would cause negative ripples across the sector, Colm Lauder, an analyst at Goodbody Stockbrokers, wrote in a note to clients last Friday.
After obtaining an agreement to waive terms governing its revolving facility until June 26, the company tried to buy additional time by asking creditors to postpone covenant testing, debt repayment and maturity payments for loans coming due before the end of 2021.
Intu had appointed David Hargrave, a former partner in the re-structuring practices PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young, as chief restructuring officer, in May to help negotiate with lenders.
It has also lined up KPMG as financial administrator in case it failed to reach a standstill agreement with creditors.
The company forecast in June it would collect 37 per cent less rent this year, after getting just 40 per cent of what it was owed for the second quarter.
Earlier in March, its auditors warned it may struggle to continue operating due to high debts and plunging asset values. The value of the company’s properties has plunged by more than 30 per cent since their peak in 2017, as retailers underwent re-structuring processes that enabled them to shutter stores and slash rents in the face of growing online consumption. That forced up Intu’s relative indebtedness faster than the company was able to sell assets.

AHC - Aboriginal Housing Redfern - 3 New Houses
Completed in 1993
Jan Felton and Shelley Indyk worked as consultants to The AHC from 1988-1993. During that time several projects were initiated, documented and submitted to various government bodies and NGO's in an effort to resolve some fundamental housing issues on the Block in Redfern.
The three new houses were one of the few projects constructed. The architects were requested to design solid maintenance free buildings. Felton and Indyk wanted to create an inherent beauty, that was so called 'indestructible', and would relate to a 'sense of place' and cultural background.The polished face granite concrete blocks allowed a patterning to openings and parapet details that at the time seemed relevant.
The houses were planned with the flexibility to become one large communal house or be three separate houses with either a shared rear yard or individual yards. These houses were demolished around the first decade of 2000, with the intention and proposal to rebuild the entire Block for a mixed housing and commercial development. This is currently still being resolved today.

Per Duke Sports Information:
DURHAM, N.C. – Duke sophomore Tre Jones was named ACC Player of the Week after leading the seventh-ranked Blue Devils to a pair of road conference wins over Boston College and North Carolina.
Jones averaged a team-leading 23.0 points and 5.0 assists through the two games, and led Duke to a double-digit comeback to top the rival Tar Heels on Saturday night. He poured in 22 of his game-high 28 points in the second half inside the Smith Center, and his buzzer-beating jumper sent the game to overtime after he rebounded his own intentionally-missed free throw. Jones scored 15 consecutive points – the final nine points of regulation and the first six of overtime. The sophomore single-handedly outscored UNC, 18-15, over the final minute of regulation and overtime. He finished the game with 28 points, six assists, five rebounds and three steals – becoming just the second player in the Duke-North Carolina rivalry to go for 28-5-5, joining Michael Jordan.
In the win at Boston College on Tuesday, Jones scored 18 points on 7-of-15 shooting with four assists and three rebounds. The native of Apple Valley, Minn., is averaging 17.9 points over his last nine games. He is now 13-3 in his career on the road, including 12-3 in ACC road games.
A candidate for the Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year award, Jones ranks second in the ACC in assists (6.6), second in steals (2.0), third in assist/turnover ratio (2.4), eighth in scoring (15.8) and ninth in field goal percentage (.442). He is one of just two players in a major conference who is averaging 15.0+ points, 6.0+ assists, a 2.0+ assist/turnover ratio and shooting .440 or better from the field.
This marks Jones’ third ACC Player of the Week recognition this season (12/9, 1/13). He and freshman Vernon Carey Jr. were included on the John R. Wooden Award Late Season Top 20 Watch List, which is awarded to the national player of the year.
Jones will lead Duke (20-3, 10-2 ACC) into a top-10 matchup against No. 8 Florida State (20-3, 10-2 ACC) Monday night at 7 p.m. ET at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The game can be seen live on ESPN.

I think Blood Visions is one of the most fascinating, concrete series Oily Comics is Publishing. Worton's perfect sense of gesture works perfectly for an old-school teen horror narrative. The foreshadowing hovers above the story like a little storm cloud, making the small installments an ideal format choice...and retaining a sense of mystery about the hows, the whys, the whens and the ends. -EF

Instrumental interaction is an extension of direct manipulation. It is based on the notion of interaction instrument, which acts as a mediator between the user and the manipulated object.
The model was used and further developed in the context of the CPN2000 project at University of Aarhus (Denmark) during my two-year visit in 1998-2000. CPN2000 is a graphical editor and simulator of colored Petri nets that uses marking menus, toolglasses and bimanual interaction techniques. Kurt Jensen's group at the University of Aarhus have continued the development of CPN2000 and distribute it under the name CPN/Tools. At the end of 2004, 1600 licences had been distributed worldwide.

MicroRNA-874 (miR-874) is downregulated in several human cancers and has been suggested to be a tumor suppressor gene. However, the molecular mechanism of miR-874 downregulation in breast cancer has not been well elucidated. Here we aimed to study the aberrant hyper-methylation of CpG sites with the utility of miR-874 downreregulation in breast cancer and evaluate the clinical function of miR-874 as a prognostic marker. The miR-874 expressions in cells and tissues of two breast cancer lines were measured by real-time PCR. The DNA methylation status of the miR-874 promoter region in 19 pairs of breast cancer and adjacent normal samples was analyzed with Sequenom EpiTYPER MassArray. To evaluate whether miR-874 is a potential prognostic marker in breast cancer, we also explored the clinical long-time follow-up records from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We found miR-874 expression was downregulated in 47 pairs of breast cancer tissues. Moreover, univariate and multivariate analysis revealed miR-874 expression may be a prognostic biomarker of overall survival in breast cancer patients. Preconditioning with 5-Aza-CdR in two cell lines elevated miR-874 expressions. The data from Sequenom EpiTYPER MassArray showed that DNA methylation of the promoter region of miR-874 was upregulated and accompanied by decreased miR-874 expression, which was further confirmed by TCGA. After comprehensive considerations, we think miR-874, which might be served as a prognostic biomarker, is mediated by DNA methylation.

This Victoria Sponge Cake is a classic for a reason. Have a look at my version of it!
Brad came from his run the other day and immediately announced that he came across “blackberry fields” and we are going blackberry picking right now.
Well, seeing that I had nothing better to do and the kids needed to get out of the house we set off with our tiny tupperware containers. Fools.
As soon as we got there I realised that they were indeed “fields” and we should have brought buckets!
We filled our containers in no time and decided to come back the next day with better equipment. We got home in time for some afternoon tea and some Victoria sponge cake.
What is Victoria sponge cake?
There is no cake more British than Victoria sponge. It is sold in every tea room, coffee shop and cafe but sadly they are no match for a homemade one. The genius of Victoria sponge in its simplicity. Two fluffy sponges sandwiched together with a bit of cream and jam. Simple yet glorious.
Now make it mascarpone cream and homemade blackberry compote made from wild blackberries and you will want to eat this cake for the rest of your life, nothing else needed.
What is a classic British sponge cake?
The classic British sponge is extremely simple to make but you do need to know a few tricks to get it right. The cake batter is a combination of half a pound of butter, sugar, eggs and flour.
The Brits use self-rising flour and don’t add any rising agents. I really dislike self-rising flour and always adapt my recipes for a regular Canadian flour (yes, I buy only Canadian flour in the UK).
Tips for making the best Victoria Sponge Cake
The secret to get the Victoria sponge cake incredibly soft and delicate is in the mixing. You start off by creaming softened butter with fine caster sugar until very light and then add eggs one by one, beating well after each addition, then flour, baking soda and powder and flavouring.
You want your sugar to completely dissolve by the time the batter is all done. To check you can rub a little amount between your fingers to make sure it’s all smooth. The consistency of your batter should be the same as buttercream. That’s how you know you made good sponge batter.

Banoffee Tartlets from me
- 1 1/5 cup blackberries
- 1/5 cup sugar
- 2 tbs water
- 250 g/ 1 cup butter softened and unsalted
- 250 g/1 1/3 cup caster sugar
- 4 eggs large
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
- 250 g/1 3/4 cup flour
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- zest of 1 lemon
- 250 ml/ 1 cup mascarpone chilled
- 1/4 cup icing sugar
- 175 ml/ 3/4 cup double cream
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
In a small saucepan combine blackberries, sugar and water and cook over low heat for 15 minutes until the syrup coats a spoon.
Remove from the heat and process in a food processor or a blender until smooth.
Push through a fine sieve to get rid of the seeds and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350 C, grease two 8"/20cm round cake pans and line with parchment paper, set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer cream softened butter with sugar until light and fluffy.
Start adding eggs one by one, whipping until well combined after each addition for about a minute.
Add vanilla bean paste and lemon zest.
Combine sifted flour, baking soda and powder and salt in a separate bowl.
Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix well, stopping the mixer and scraping sides and the bottom of the bowl.
Divide the batter between two pans. Weigh them to get exactly the same cake in size.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely.
Whip chilled mascarpone with icing sugar and vanilla bean paste for 1-2 minutes until well combined.
Then add double/whipping cream and whip for 2 more minutes until stiff.
To assemble the cake spread mascarpone cream on the bottom layer of the cake.
Pour blackberry compote on top and gently spread with a offset spatula.
Top with another cake layer and dust with some icing sugar for the traditional look.

By Tabassum Tahmina Shagufta Hussein
Once the Sky told me to paint your eyes with his limitless/infinite shades,
The Ocean overheard,
He said, how can it be? how can it be?
When He has boundless blues.
Tell me dear, whom shall I please?
When I was wondering, in what new name shall I call you?
Then the peeping Stars smiled and told me to call you now in their countless names
And then the Timeless Poems heard,
They chanted, how can it be? how can it be?
When they have innumerable names to call you upon.
Tell me dear, tell me, to whom shall I delight?
When I could not decide to where I wanted to keep you,
And the Mind said to keep you now deep inside the Mind.
Then the Love came and whispered how can it be?
When the Love has such desirous longings to hold/embrace you.
Tell me, tell me dear, whom shall I listen to?
I am mystified euphorically.
Both the Sky and the Ocean want to paint you with their colours,
The Stars and the Timeless Poems want to name you after them,
And the Mind and the Love want to possess you.
Whom shall I listen to?
What Shall I do my dear?
Where I am merely a woman, who simply just loves you,
Who just wants to portray you with the colours of her own,
Who just wants to name you in her own words,
Who just wants to partake you in her own ways,
And who only just wants to be with the man she loves, as along as life endures.
Note:The poem is written on the thought of a lover. The overwhelming imagination knows no bounds. In her imagination the poem begins with joy but ends with a touch of pain.
Thoughts on my poems:
What Shall I Do, My Dear? – The poem has a deeper meaning to me. The lover is blinded by love. But the blindness is beautiful imagination. She wants to compare and wants to think the aesthetic beauty of her lover. But at the end of the poem she wishes to have him with her own colors, not imagination. The love which has made her lover so supreme now that love making her feel that this supremacy won’t go with her. It may be her possessive nature or inferiority complex or simply a lover’s simple wish. I tried to give my readers the feeling is that the poem is open to interpretations.

Anderson Silva Says He Doesn’t Need To Change His Style
One of the biggest questions in the fallout of Anderson Silva’s defeat at UFC 162 was ‘why the hell was he standing with his hands down?’. The previously unbeaten (in the UFC) Spider stood for an eternity with his fists by his waist, until Chris Weidman capitalized.
One big left hook and some reality TV tears, and the MMA world is no longer how we know it. But was it such a real surprise? Look back over all of Silva’s fights and tell me there wasn’t a chance of this happening before.
Fans even went as far as speculating bribery and foul play during the bout, that Silva must have taken a dive; but the reality is that he got caught, just like anyone can. Anyway, the video below shows The Spider getting pretty fired up when asked about changing his style for the rematch.
The clip also shows a stale piece of bread Weidman basically saying he doesn’t know what will happen in the rematch. So, Yeah.
Also addressed in the video is the New Jersey Athletic Comission’s proposal for new weight cutting rules. A real breath of fresh air given recent unfortunate events. The proposal doesn’t cover last minute replacements, but does seem do give a firm and safer guideline to weight cutting ahead of fights.
